Leviticus 10:1-3

Read Leviticus 10:1-3

And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.  The fire of the Lord consumed them. And they died.  This is one of those passages in Scripture that doesn’t seem to fit in our image of who our God is.  Nowhere in this passage do we see a God ready and willing to pardon the sinner.  We do not see the long haired hippy version of Jesus skipping through the flowers with His disciples that is so often portrayed today in the church.  Where is the God who is love?  Where is His grace and His forgiveness? The fire of the Lord consumed them and they died. There was no second chance, no slap on the wrist, no mercy.

So let us now examine these verses more intently.  We are immediately introduced to two men, Nadab and Abihu.  However this is not the first time we meet them in the Words of Sacred Scripture.  We first learn of them in Exodus 6:23.  They are introduced as the two oldest sons of Moses brother Aaron.  As the sons of Aaron, they were part of the Levitical priesthood and were trained as such. Exodus 24:1-3 says: Then he said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. Moses alone shall come near to the LORD, but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him.” Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the rules. And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words that the LORD has spoken we will do.”  These men were trained from their birth on how to serve the Lord, keeping His ordinances. From a young age, a Levite would have known how to serve YAHWEH as was demanded.  The Levites ministered to God day and night.  They administered all the sacrifices and kept the Tabernacle, even keeping watch over it during the night. Deuteronomy 18:1 tells us this, the Levitical priests, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the LORD’s food offerings as their inheritance.  These men were not allowed to own land.  They had NO inheritance with Israel.  They also could not hunt or gather food on their own.  They instead relied solely on the left over food from the sacrifices made to God. Let us make no mistake about it, the only job these men had was to minister before the throne of El Shaddai.

Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it. The story now opens with the sons of Aaron approaching the throne of the Almighty.  They approached the throne of the Living God.  Revelation 4 sets the scene: After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.  This is the throne YAHWEH, the Sovereign Lord.  But the Bible describes it elsewhere;  In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”  Oh what a scene!  Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; the WHOLE earth is filled with His glory.  In the presence of the Shekinah glory of God, Isaiah cries out in agony, and condemns himself.  In the Old Testament, there are two kinds of statements that a prophet would bring to Israel; either one of weal, which meant good news or one of woe which symbolized condemnation.  As a prophet, Isaiah knew this full well, and yet he calls condemnation on himself when he is brought face to face with the glory of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  In His presence before His thrown Isaiah is broken hearted and dejected.  He falls down and cries out in agony as the Seraphim fly above the Master’s throne calling out praises to the Ancient of Days.  The temple shook and the robe of the Lord filled the temple.  Even the Seraphim, who minister to God’s throne day and night, still must cover their eyes in His presence.  This is the picture of the throne of Jehovah that the sons of Aaron were approaching.  Woe to us if we do not recognize the glory of God seated on the throne.  Let us understand that as the sons of Aaron entered the Holy of Holies, they came face to face with the same God we see in Isaiah, this fierce God of power and might. 

Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them.  The sons of Aaron now approached the throne of the Almighty and offered up a fire not authorized.  In order to truly understand this grievous violation of the law of God, we must look at it in context.  We have already established that the Nadab and Abihu were in no way strangers to the law, or the proper way of worship.  For years they had been trained in the proper way of worship.  From a young age, they were trained to reverence the Lord.  They were not ignorant in the way the Lord had commanded to be worshipped.  But they approached the throne of the Sovereign boldly, and did what they were deliberately told not to.  They offered an improper sacrifice, not only on behalf of themselves, but on behalf of all of Israel.  The Levitical priests were given the gargantuan task of interceding before the Lord on behalf of all the Israelites.  When Israel transgressed, the priest would go into the Tabernacle and offer a sacrifice to atone for the sins of Israel.  This was no small task, and by going before the Lord and offering a strange fire the sons of Aaron were sinning before the Lord not only on behalf of themselves but also on behalf of the whole nation.

And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.  Fire came out before the LORD and consumed them.  Oh what a description!  Our God is an all consuming fire.  When Nadab and Abihu approached the throne of God and offered a mysterious fire, they felt the full wrath of the Lord poured out on them.  The Lord’s anger burns fierce against the sin of unrepentant sinners.  How dare anyone approach the Lord of Hosts and deliberately disobey Him.  When the sons of Aaron approached the throne Yahweh, before Him and all the nation of Israel, and offered an unknown fire, they felt the full ferocity of his wrath.  He did not hold back.  The same fury He poured out onto the wicked city of Sodom was felt by Nadab and Abihu. Nowhere in the text do we read that God only poured out as much rage as the sons of Aaron could stand, or what seemed reasonable to them.  No! He poured out His full and unabridged anger.  We must be careful not to remove ourselves from this fierce some story.  For those of us who are apart of Christ this is our fate, but not only until we are killed, our torture will last forever.  Revelation 14:11 tells us  "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." Forever will they be tortured, forever will they feel his wrath and anger poured out on them.  The same anger and fury poured out on Nadab and Abihu will be felt by those unrepentant sinners for all of eternity.  There will be no rest, no relief from this torture, ever.  Death stands ready to pounce on you at any second, and is only held back by the pleasure of God.  If you were given what you deserve, if I was given what I deserve, we would be burning in hell right now and for forever more.  God’s divine wrath would burn against us without ceasing.  We would cry out in great anxiety to the Lord begging like the rich man for even a drop of water on our tongue, but never receiving it.  Just as the smoke of Gethsemane burned without end, so shall our torment be. 

We must understand that we are born radically depraved and God hating.  The issue for those of you apart from Christ is not that you have sinned; it’s that you have done nothing but sin!  Those apart from Christ are described in Romans 5 as God haters.  All your life you have transgressed against a holy God and a just God cannot let sin go unpunished.  He must punish sin with the full fury of His wrath, and He will.  The fate of those apart from Christ is darker and more painful than anyone can begin to imagine.  You can do nothing to keep yourself from this fate.  The Scriptures tell us that our greatest works are like filthy menstrual rags.  There is nothing under the cosmos that we can do to work our way out of our fate.  All are lost and all deserve condemnation for their sin against the perfect holy God.  All of us live on the brink of this condemnation and if God but blink His eye we will be caught up and forever thrown into this pit of eternal despair

And yet there is hope.  There is one all encompassing hope.   One way to escape this condemnation and it is through the sacrifice of the Son of God.  God has given us, the most undeserving of sinners, a way to escape this condemnation.  He has sent His Son to die on the cross and take the full fury of God’s wrath, so that we do not have to suffer.  Christ came to earth and lived the perfect life to die for sin and save us from the fury of the Lord.  Christ has called us to come to Him, repent and be saved.  He is our only hope in this dark world, but be aware that following after God is not an easy path.  Christ calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow after Him. Today in our nation we are told that if we prayer a prayer and ask Jesus into our hearts, we will be saved and all our problems will be fixed.  This is the biggest lie in Christianity today.  Nowhere in Scripture do we see a command to pray a prayer.  Nowhere in Scripture are we told to ask Jesus into our hearts.  It breaks my heart to think about how many people who have prayed that prayer, will stand before the throne of God on judgment day and hear Him say depart from me for I never knew you.  Those people like Nadab and Abihu offer and improper sacrifice and will feel the fury of the wrath of God.  The message of Christ is much different.  He tells us to leave everything, die to ourselves and follow after Him.  We are called to lay everything down before him.  Everything.  Christ is not an add on to our lives.  He is not something to make our lives better.  NO! He is everything we have and everything we can possibly need.  Christ does not want to be first among many; He wants to be the only thing.  He is not just a way for us to escape hell.  If I knew that God was going to send all of you to hell, I would still tell you to glorify Him because He deserves it!  We were created with the sole purpose of glorifying God.  The Westminster confession tells us that: “Mans chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” To bring glory to Him!

So now the time has come.  We must now decide what to do.  We have been given today.  What a gift today is!  We have been given this second.  Those of you that are outside of Christ repent of your sins leave everything behind and follow after Christ. And know that the sign of your conversion is not that you prayed a prayer, but rather a fundamental change in your life.  The evidence of saving faith is not today, but in the days that follow. To those of you that are in Christ do what Paul has commanded you and examine yourself.  The mark of a believer is the fruits of the spirit.  Not one fruit, or two, or eight, but all of the fruits.  Those of you that are in Christ are a new creation, the old is gone and behold the new is here.  But be fully aware that not only is the gate narrow, but so is the road.  Our road is a lonely one, full of bumps and potholes, but it is the path of Truth! And of peace!  So seize this day for Christ, die to self and live in the splendor of His love and grace.

Let us close with the third verse of this story.  Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” And Aaron held his peace. Aaron broken hearted comes before Moses and pleads for an answer, and Moses in what is a seemingly cold-hearted response reiterates what the Lord has spoken; ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.’  God will be glorified one way or another, through life or through death.  And Aaron held his peace.  Aaron shut up.  He had seen the Lord, and offered worship before His throne and now submitted Himself before the Almighty.  Aaron knew the Holiness of the God He worshipped.  He had died to himself and was following after the Ancient of Days.  May we follow in his example.  May we give it all to Him and gain more than we can possibly understand.  

The truth regarding the sinking of the Lusitania and the U.S involvement in WW1

As I explained in my last post about the Bilderberg group, now is the time for the truth to be told.  I hope this post will help to inform those who read it about the truth behind the U.S entering what has been known as the 'Great War'.  In this issue, as is usually the case, all one has to do to find the truth is follow the trail of money.


In order to truly understand what happened in WW1, we must understand all angles of the conflict.  The war broke out on July 28, 1914, after a continued building up of arms and increased hostilities between the Central Powers of Germany and the Allied forces of France and Britain.  The war escalated and the U.S was determined to remain neutral in 'Europe's war'.  Immediately the Allied powers began to turn to the U.S banks to help fund the war effort.  The banks, led by the Morgan brothers, were eager to grant huge loans, in hope of making huge sums of cash off interest.  This is exactly what happened.  During the early part of the war, U.S banks were raking in millions of dollars a day.


Then, halfway through the war, everything changed. France was quickly being overrun, and Germany had launched all out submarine warfare on Britain, hoping to starve the island country.  The Allied powers were in grave danger.  This had a huge effect on the banks.  Having lent out billions of dollars, if the allied powers lost the war, the banks would have to eat all the losses.  This could potentially cause a collapse of the most powerful banks in the world.  This could not happen; so a plan was formed.


It started with, then First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill making a shoot on sight order for all German U-boats. This hostile approach to naval warfare escalated German attacks on British ships. Churchill's thought behind this was if violence was increased, America might be coerced into joining the war. At the same time, America continued shipping goods and war supplies to Allied powers. On May 6, 1915 an British ship headed for America called the Lusitania was hit by a German submarine, and sunk. 128 Americans were killed. This was all the American people needed to declare war.


This is where most history books end the story. However, in truth, the story is much more complicated. Days before the ship was sunk, the German embassy in the U.S released a statement warning Americans to stay of cargo ships heading to Britain. They warned these ships would be sunk. The article was withheld and never reached the public. The ship itself was not a simple passenger ship. The truth is, the Lusitania was a war ship and contained illegal and smuggled goods headed toward the Allied powers. The stage was now set; Churchill sent the Lusitania directly into the territory controlled by German U-boats and gave orders to slow the ship to half speed. For the Germans, it was now as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. The ship was sunk, and over a thousand innocent lives were lost. But the banks and Britain got their wish, America joined forces with the Allied powers and won the war.

If this is true, the implications are massive.  It would mean that the banks have control over our foreign affairs.  That they encourage war and even create it, as a means of generating revenue.  This is the sad truth.  Since the creation of the Bank of England, one of the first examples of a powerful bank, there have been 9 global conflicts.  To give further evidence that the banks had a major role in getting America into WW1, we need to look no further than the U.S Neutrality Acts of the 1930's.  The U.S gov't deemed it illegal to grant money to either side of the conflict in WW2.  This was in response to the common knowledge that the banks contributed heavily into getting the U.S into Europe's conflict

Phillipians 4:9

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

            This is amazing verse in and of itself, but it becomes even more fascinating when studied in light of the verses prior to it. Verses 6 and 7 say “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  God tells us that when we are anxious we should turn to Him and He will give us His peace.  Now only two verses later, Paul is saying do as I do and again peace will be with you.  This is truly amazing.  Just two verses earlier Paul says turn to God and be at peace and now he’s saying follow after what I do and be at peace.  So which is it?  It is both.  Paul is saying follow after me as I follow after Christ.  When Paul was anxious he quieted his soul before the Almighty and was at peace.  He is telling us to do the same.  This, again, is a massive challenge.  We should be able to look at those around us and say do as I do. Not do as I say, but do as I do.  This means in all circumstances and at all times.  What a seemingly impossible burden, and yet it is what God calls us to.  But it is not a burden at all.  It is a gift!  How great of a gift is it that the God of all the universe, would say you get to be my image bearers.  That he would say to me, a lowly sinner, you go out and be my ambassador.  He doesn’t need me, at all.  In the words of Spurgeon, if He but stamps his foot He can convert all the world, and yet He allows me to preach His word.  What joy! What a gift!  May we never take it for granted.  Let us go out to the whole world and say look at what Christ has done in me!  Look who He is and what He is still doing!  Look at how great my God is!  This is the cry of my heart.

The Bilderberg Group

The time is now for the truth to be told.  I no longer care how people view me, or what the consequences might be.  My goal in the next few posts will be to tell you who is running this country and this world behind the scenes.  Let me now introduce you to the Bilderberg group.

This highly secret and influential group was begun in 1954 by the former Polish politician Jozef Retinger.  Fearing anti-American sentiments in Europe, Retinger proposed a meeting of some of the most powerful men in Western Europe and the United States.  The goal of this meeting was to work out a solution for economic and militaristic tranquility amongst the nations.  Since its founding, the group has been meeting every few years.  The stated goal of these meetings are for nations to work together to achieve and common good for all nations involved.  However, the truth of the matter is much more devious and evil.

This group was created to serve as a sort of consensus as to what was for the 'public good'.  By meeting with the most powerful men in the world of politics and finance, the group can ensure that its desires be carried out.  The meetings also serve as an 'interview' for potential future leaders.  Including Clinton in '91 and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in '93.  The guest list has included such prominent and powerful names as: Rick Perry, Ben Bernanke(Chairman of the Fed), Chris Hughes(co founder of Facebook), Craig Mundy(Microsoft), Colin Powell, Gerald Ford, Barack Obama, Timothy Geithner, John Edwards, Margaret Thatcher, and many other powerful leaders in the U.S and abroad.  It must be understood that with such influential men involved, the Bilderberg group has major pull in the world.  It has been reported that the Bilderberg group has helped to establish the EU and the IMF(international monetary fund).  This is hardly surprising since the ultimate goal of the conference in globalism.  The EU is without a doubt, the predecessor to the future one world gov't, foreseen by the Fabian Socialists. 

The idea is to "Remould it nearer to the heart's desire", this is what the Bilderberg group is doing.  This can be seen in several ways.  When the group meets, they work out plans to slowly but surely break down the world's infrastructure and rebuild it in their image.  This is carried out through many different ways.  One such way is through trade agreements, like NAFTA and GATT.  Hidden behind the banner of 'free trade' is the goal of chipping away at nations sovereignty in order to make the shift to globalism smoother.  Central Banks are another way of taking power away from the people and giving it to high ranking 'intellectuals'.  By keeping monetary control over nations, the people are held captive to the will of a select few.  If the Bilderberg group decides economic collapse is what is in the 'best interest' of the people, it is carried out.  Finally, by holding these meetings, the board can decide which leaders best fit their agendas.  These leaders are then thrust onto the public stage and promoted as being the best candidates.

We have already seen the goal of the group and some of the ways they go about accomplishing it, now let's look at some of the more drastic plans of the group.  Reports have surfaced that lay out a deadly plan of destruction through depopulation.  The thought is that, if the world remains in its current state, there are too many people to be effectively subdued in the new world order.  Ideally the current 7 billion people would be cut down to 500 million, for the 'public good' of course.  This would be done slowly by constant vaccination, until the human immune system was too weak and easily susceptible to disease.  Sound familiar?  It is happening as we speak.  Think about how many vaccines you have recieved, and then ask your parents how many they got.  Beyond this biological warfare, is the false flags used by those in power, to create fear and crush freedom.  The best modern example is 9/11(I will share my thoughts on that in a future bolg).  These flags scare people into allowing gov't to take away their freedom for the promise of security.  Finally, I believe the group is using economic collapse to bring about their ideal one world gov't.  When a nation is strong, there is no chance of it surrendering their sovereignty.  However, when its economy is weak, it is willing to sacrifice its power to survive.  What is soon approaching is a world-wide economic collapse, that will bring about a new world currency, designed to cancel debt and help dying economies.  From their a one world gov't is not far off.  This is the goal of Woodrow Wilson, Keynes, Rothschild, and Rockefeller. 

I know all of this may seem extreme, so I offer you one last quote from the memoirs of John D. Rockefeller

"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

The end may be here

We may have entered the last days of our nation.  Although I was confident this would come to pass soon, I did not know we were this close.  Greece announced the other day that it would referendum the EU bailout.  As soon as this was announced, stock markets around the world plummeted.  The previously surging Dow dropped over 200 points.  The Greek Parliament is in shambles as many several members have defected.  Within days to weeks Greece will fall. and the EU will likely follow.  As i have predicted in the past that the collapse of the EU could likely lead to our own collapse.  If America falls, nations like China and India would fall with us, since both of their countries rely heavily on us as a constant source of money.  What will likely follow is a world conference in which all the G-20 countries will cancel the debt and issue a new world currency.  From there a one-world gov't is not a far reach.  I have a strange and dark feeling that in the next few months it will all be over.

What is happening to our nation?

Over the last few weeks, I have made my opinion regarding our nation very clear.  Based on my extensive research, and willingness to accept the facts, i believe we are on the edge of collapse as a nation.  If you were to read through all of my posts(which I believe would be beneficial) you would be able to see why I feel we are in grave and imminent danger.  However, for the sake of convience, I will attempt to summarize several posts into one.  My hope is that after you read this you will fully understand the danger we face, and join me in fighting it.

The Federal Reserve

I believe it to be necessary to start at, what I consider to be, the root cause of our problems; The Federal Reserve.  The Federal Reserve is the U.S central bank that was started when the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913.  Three years earlier, 1910, a secret meeting was called by Nelson Aldrich on Jekyll Island.  In attendance were powerful men like JP Morgan, John D. Rockefellar, and Paul Warburg.  These men represented 25% of the worlds wealth!  The goal of this meeting was to unite their banks to eliminate competition.  When the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913, the Fed was given the right to coin money and control interest rates, a right that is given to Congress under the Constitution.  It is also important to note that the Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel and NOT a gov't organization.  Since 1913, the Fed has been doing its best to destroy America, by controlling money.  Starting with the depression in 1929, the Feds policies have proven to be ineffective.

The process in which the Fed has caused recession is a little complicated.  When banks loan money they have no desire to be paid back, they instead look to make money of interest.  For example, when a bank loans $20 they look to make that money back plus $10 on interest.  Therefore, the larger the loan, the better.  Big loan mean lots of money of interest.  There is, however, a problem created by the market; big loans are big risks.  When banks loan large sums of money they run the risk of the borrower not being able to pay them back and having to 'swallow' their losses.  If a bank does this too often, it fails and goes out of buisness.  This allows the market to function smoothly.  The Fed has destroyed this natural barrier.  The Fed promises banks that they will always back up their loans.  This causes banks to make large and risky loans, seeking high interest payments.  What results is a 'boom' cycle where the economy is growing rapidly.  This can be seen in the 'roaring 20's'.  However, reckless bank loans have consequences.  When borrowers can no longer make their payments, banks refuse to swallow their losses and look to the Fed to bail them out.  The Fed does just that by printing billions of new dollars and telling the gov't to raise taxes on the people.  What follows is recession, or a 'bust' cycle.  This is exactly what happened in '08.

I must digress in order to explain what exactly the Fed does.  When the Federal gov't spends more than it has and finds itself in debt, they go to the Fed for a loan.  The moment the gov't asks for the loan the Fed creates the money out of thin air and lends it, charging interest.  Thats right, the Fed just makes it and then the gov't spends it.  This seems great but unfortuantely the result is huge inflation.  Inflation is why prices seem so high.  In reality your money is just worth less.  This is a dangerous trend, since it allows the gov't to have no spending cap and inflation kills the economy.

Foreign Conflict

I have had the least to say on this issue, simply because it is harder to gauge.  Unlike economics which is mathmatical and can be easily seen and reported, foreign policy deals with human emotion and is difficult to gauge.  Having said that, some things can be seen easily.  What is the most obvious is that the world is on the brink of conflict. Countries like North Korea, China, and Iran are powerful and unstable.  If they decided to make a move, the consequences could be massive.  Technology exists today that people 15 years ago couldnt even imagine.  Bombs small enough to fit in brief cases can destroy entire cities.  It has been shown that China has been behind numerous technological attacks on our nation. Icluding hacking large companies computer systems.  Iran is seeking an EMP that, if detonated, would destroy all of our satellites.  Cars, phones, computers, and everything else that uses a satellite with shut off; the effects would be catostrophic. 

One of the biggest dangers in this area is our debt to China.  If we look back through history to the post WW2 area, we can look at a simliar situation.  Soon after the Suiz canal was built, England and France began fighting with Egypt over control of it.  The U.S, war-weary, wanted to avoid conflict at all costs.  At this time, The U.S owned billions of dollars of English debt.  They threatened that if England did not cease fighting with Egypt, they would liquidate Englands debt, causing the destruction of the English currency.  England was forced to back off.  Many historians consider this to be the official end of the British Empire.  This is the exact power that China has over us today. They can wage economic warfare against us, if they so choose.  The only thing keeping them from doing this is the fact that we are funding their growth.  When they no longer need us, they could do this.

Big Brother

To me, this is the scariest trend that we are seeing today.  Over the years since 9/11, our gov't has ripped our freedom from us in the name of 'security'.  This was begun by the Patriot Act.  This bill was shoved through in the wake of 9/11, and allowed the gov't to take away the liberty of Americans more than ever before in history.  To start with it allowed the gov't to monitor phone calls, emails, and internet use.  It also allowed the gov't to take American citizens prisoner without a trial, denying them of their sixth ammendant rights.  In edition to the Patriot Act several Executive orders were passed under the Bush administration to rob Americans of their freedom.  Including one that allowed anyone who the President considers an 'enemy combatant of the state' to be treated as a war criminal.  Also under the Partiot Act, security cameras and other invasive technologies have increased.  One example of this technology is OnStar.  The service, found in almost all new cars, can see see how fast your car is going and shut it off anytime it wants.  Even if the service is not activated!

What I am most fearful of, is that when the nation falls apart and chaos ensues, the result will be martial law.  This would mean a ploice state where Constitutional rights are denied, in the name of 'public good'.  In a choatic situation, our nation could quickly find itself in a Communist-like state.  Don't believe me?  Look at what happened after Katrina.  The steps have already been taken to do this.  The surveillence needed to spy on citizens is already in place.  A private army, Blackwater, is slowly moving to towns all across the nation. In fact, we have cocentration camps.  They are called FEMA camps and they exist all around our nation.  I would encourage you to look up what these FEMA camps are.  The steps have been taken, martial law is a real possibility.

What can we do?

I have given a detailed response as to what can be done to prepare for this collapse; it is called: How to Prepare.  If you have any questions I would encourage you to look to that.  I, however, want to focus on something else right now.  If the worst case scenario happens, and everything falls apart and martial law follows; thousands will die.  I will fight this until I die, but the fact is that the people might lose.  We could find ourselves in a bleak situation, but there is hope. Our hope is found in Jesus Christ.  Even if I die, my hope is not found in this world, it is found in Him.  If you do not know Him today, seek Him out.  Read a Bible and talk to those around you who can help.  My email is on this blog so email me your questions and I will get back to you.  Time may be running out, turn your lives over to Christ today.  To those of you who do know Him, find your peace in Him.  Times are about to get very tough, but no gov't can take your faith away from you.  We must stand firm in hardship and be a light to this world, even if it costs us everything.  Today is the day to give it all up to Him who can save your soul.  DO NOT WAIT, tommorow isn't promised. 

Limited Atonement

I will now to the best of my ability explain the doctrine of Limited atonement:

Before we dive into this study it is very important to note that there are 4 point Calvinists, and this issue in no way affects your salvation.  Having said this I will now dive into this complicated issue.  I believe the best way to start is by examining Scriptural arguments for both sides of the issue.  I will start with those for unlimited atonement.  1 John 2:2 states: “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” John 4:4 says “He is the savior of the whole world.” John 1:29 says He: “takes away the sins of the world.” 2^nd Cor. 5:14-15 says: “He died for all.”  They argue that Christ died for all, but only the elect receive His sacrifice.  Let me make myself clear; Christ death has the power to atone for all sins, and he could save all people, but he doesn’t.  When we look at the verses above they never say that Christ died for all humans, but rather they say that He died for “the world” or all.  These statements are very general, and we must always remember that when interpreting Scripture context is king.  This means that verses must be taken in the context of the chapter the book and the whole Bible.  The Bible does not and cannot contradict itself.  Having said that take into consideration these verses.  In Luke 2:1 it is recorded that a “decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered” and Luke 2:3 says “So all went to be registered everyone to his own city.” But clearly that it is not talking about every individual in the whole world. Caesar’s decree did not apply to the Japanese, Chinese or countless other people throughout the world.  Similarly, the Pharisees, being dismayed at Jesus’ growing popularity said, “Look how the whole world has gone after Him!” Did every single person in the world follow Jesus? Or was the “world” limited to a small area of Palestine in which Jesus preached?

 So it should be readily apparent that the phrase “all” or “all the world” does not necessarily mean every individual. Understanding that basic fact allows one to consider each of these seemingly universal passages in their context and when that is done it becomes very apparent that they do not present any conflict with the doctrine of limited atonement.  Also the Greek word for world is kosmos which is often used to talk about a specific body of believers.  In addition to this it must be understood that the tenses used in verses like 1 John 2:2 are the same as in John 11:51-52, and it should be understood that the “world” refers to the elect scattered across the globe.

Next I will show you some verses that will show you examples of limited atonement.  Matthew 2:1 says: “He came to die for the sins of His people.” John 10:15 says: “He lays down His life for His sheep” One of the greatest passages on the atonement in the Old Testament is Isaiah 53. In this passage alone we see that He was “stricken for the transgression of God’s people” (Isaiah 53:8); that He would “justify many” because “He shall bear their iniquities” (Isaiah 53:11); and that He indeed “bore the sin of many” (Isaiah 53:12).

 Finally we must understand the very nature of Christ’s death on the cross.  Christ died for this reason; to take on all of our sin and to atone for it, so that we might be justified before God.  With the death of Christ on the cross we are forgiven for all sin and seen as blameless in the sight of God, granting us access into heaven.  If Christ did indeed die for everyone, then the sins of everyone are forgiven, and everyone is justified before the sight of God.  If this is not true than Christ death is not truly an all atoning sacrifice.  As far as the argument that His death atones for everyone, but only the elect with accept it, I have this answer.  If someone doesn’t believe is his unbelief sin? Well of course it is, because he is denying the divine nature of God and in turn bowing down to a false idol.  But isn’t that sin covered by Christ’s death?  Just as believers many sins are?  The answer is yes and that would mean all men are saved and all men go to heaven.  This is obviously heresy and proves the doctrine of unlimited atonement false.  In the words of A.W Pink “Not one for whom He died can possibly miss heaven.” He [Christ] did not ‘pay the penalty of sin’ for those who reject Him, because if He did then they would not have to pay it themselves in hell.  Also if Christ died for all the world, but only the elect benefit, that means that Christ’s atonement did not redeem anyone and is merely a powerless opportunity for men to be saved.  The fact is that if Christ died for all men and propitiated their sins, then all men would be saved because propitiated sin cannot be punished. Also in a certain sense Christ did die for all men.  Even the unsaved can enjoy the sunset and the ocean, we call this common grace.  It is only because of common grace that God doesn’t kill the heathen each time he sins.  God would have every right to kill the sinner, but Christ’s death atones for their earthly life.

In conclusion the death of Christ on the cross is more than enough to atone for every sin in every person, but it does not.Christ died for His elect, which shows His omniscient in choosing His elect in eternity past.This does not change His love for the whole world, but only His atoning sacrifice.I believe I have showed that it is not the Calvinist but rather the Arminian who limits the atonement, by taking away the sovereignty and purpose of Christ’s atonement.

We can conclude this section with the following summary argument. Which of these statements is true?

1. Christ died for some of the sins of all men.

2. Christ died for all the sins of some men.

3. Christ died for all the sins of all men.

No one says that the first is true, for then all would be lost because of the sins that Christ did not die for. The only way to be saved from sin is for Christ to cover it with his blood.

The third statement is what the Arminians would say. Christ died for all the sins of all men. But then why are not all saved? They answer, Because some do not believe. But is this unbelief not one of the sins for which Christ died? If they say yes, then why is it not covered by the blood of Jesus and all unbelievers saved? If they say no (unbelief is not a sin that Christ has died for) then they must say that men can be saved without having all their sins atoned for by Jesus, or they must join us in affirming statement number two: Christ died for all the sins of some men. That is, he died for the unbelief of the elect so that God's punitive wrath is appeased toward them and his grace is free to draw them irresistibly out of darkness into his marvelous light.

The Evil that is Planned Parenthood and Woodrow Wilson

The involvement of planned parenthood in eugenics and racism.

At a March 1925 international birth control gathering in New York City, a speaker warned of the menace posed by the "black" and "yellow" peril. The man was not a Nazi or Klansman; he was Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, a member of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL), which along with other groups eventually became known as Planned Parenthood.

Sanger's other colleagues included avowed and sophisticated racists. One, Lothrop Stoddard, was a Harvard graduate and the author of The Rising Tide of Color against White Supremacy. Stoddard was something of a Nazi enthusiast who described the eugenic practices of the Third Reich as "scientific" and "humanitarian." And Dr. Harry Laughlin, another Sanger associate and board member for her group, spoke of purifying America's human "breeding stock" and purging America's "bad strains." These "strains" included the "shiftless, ignorant, and worthless class of antisocial whites of the South."

Not to be outdone by her followers, Margaret Sanger spoke of sterilizing those she designated as "unfit," a plan she said would be the "salvation of American civilization.: And she also spike of those who were "irresponsible and reckless," among whom she included those " whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers." She further contended that "there is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped." That many Americans of African origin constituted a segment of Sanger considered "unfit" cannot be easily refuted.

While Planned Parenthood's current apologists try to place some distance between the eugenics and birth control movements, history definitively says otherwise. The eugenic theme figured prominently in the Birth Control Review, which Sanger founded in 1917. She published such articles as "Some Moral Aspects of Eugenics" (June 1920), "The Eugenic Conscience" (February 1921), "The purpose of Eugenics" (December 1924), "Birth Control and Positive Eugenics" (July 1925), "Birth Control: The True Eugenics" (August 1928), and many others.

These eugenic and racial origins are hardly what most people associate with the modern Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), which gave its Margaret Sanger award to the late Dr. Martin Luther King in 1966, and whose current president, Faye Wattleton, is black, a former nurse, and attractive.

Though once a social pariah group, routinely castigated by religious and government leaders, the PPFA is now an established, high-profile, well-funded organization with ample organizational and ideological support in high places of American society and government. Its statistics are accepted by major media and public health officials as "gospel"; its full-page ads appear in major newspapers; its spokespeople are called upon to give authoritative analyses of what America's family policies should be and to prescribe official answers that congressmen, state legislator and Supreme Court justices all accept as "social orthodoxy."

Regarding Woodrow Wilson, although he was America’s most educated President, he was also a bigot and a sexist.  He voted in favor of segregation, even desiring White House bathroom, water fountains, and lunch rooms to be segregated.  Wilson also fought against woman’s suffrage and supported eugenics.  Wilson along with many other prominent names; such as Alexander Graham Bell, Margaret Sanger, and Teddy Roosevelt, supported eugenics in the U.S,that called for the expulsion of blacks in America.  These men supported the evils committed in the Holocaust and it is known that Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, the author of the Holocaust, borrowed some of their ideas from American eugenicists.

Change

As I was taking a walk through my neighborgood this afternoon, enjoying the colors of fall, I began to think about life.  I began to think about how many times I had walked up the street.  I have walked up Walker Road in every season, in every kind of weather, wearing every kind of clothes, doing every kind of activity, for the last 13 years.  Now I am 16, about to leave it all beind, and not sure where all the time went.  Time is fascinating, because those who are in it, have trouble seeing it work.  Think about it this way:  When you see your grandma for the first time in a few months, she is amazed by how much taller you have gotten.  You, on the other hand, haven't noticed this change.  Why? You do not noticed because you are in time.  The change is piece by piece so you don't notice.  However, your grandmother is out of time, so to speak.  The change is clear.  Fascinating, isn't it? 

Now that I have gone off on that tangent, let me get back to my point.  I couldn't get change off my mind.  It surrounded me.  The change in the weather and in the trees, and the coming change in my life.  Change is everything to us.  Think about what the first thing we say to someone we haven't seen in awhile; 'How have you been'.  If not for the fact that we change, this question would be absurd.  'Anything new?'; change!  Let's take it a step further.  Change is the best part of our lives.  What do we look forward to the most in life? Going to school, going to high school, driving, going off to college, starting a career, getting married, having a kid. Change!!  Change is truly the spice of life.  So why do we love change?  I think it is centered around the fact they we are easily bored.  We constantly want a new challenge, something new to do or to conquer.

Here's where it gets really interesting.  We also hate change.  It scares us to death.  We fight it at all costs.  We are frightened by the unknown.  Death, the ultimate change, scares us beyond belief.  We can't imagine how we can live with new drastic changes.  So what we are left with is a great paradox in life.  We love change and yet we hate it.  This can be seen in parenthood.  The new parents are excited about the new change that they are about to experience, and yet frightened of the unknown. 

So how do we deal with this paradox?  I contend that it cannot be solved on earth.  While we are here, we will constantly be striving for the next new thing, and yet scared of what is around the corner.  I believe this is by design, this is not our home.  We were created with certain tendencies to point us to our Creator.  This is true here.  In God we have the perfect harmony between our need of change and our fear of it.  First let us examine the fear of change.  We know that God is immutable, He does not change ever.  This we can be sure of.  He will always be what He was today, and we know who He is from His perfect Word.  We need not fear, because He will not change.  Now lets deal with the second part; that is our need for change.  How can an unchanging God solve that?  He solves it perfectly.  Our God is so great that we will never be bored of Him, and in need of something new.  We can search Him out for 100,000 years and not even wrap our arms around his foothill.  What an amazing thought!  In God the problem caused by the paradox is fixed.  In Christ we find our complete fulfillment.  He is everything.  Sola Christus!!!!

Libya

After months of conflict Libya, Ghadaffi has be murdered, and the revolution is over.  As is always the case the U.S has troubled itself with a conflict they have no buisness being in.  Non-interventionism is dead, and our politicians feel the need to poke their heads in every conflict.  Whether it be Hitlery Clinton referring to the rebels as 'we', or Obama congratulating them on their victory. The question now becomes, what is next?

For months, anyone who has their eyes open, has asked this question.  Who will replace the hated dictator? We now have our answer; the Muslim Brotherhood.  What is being propped up in the media as a 'democratic victory' is nothing more than yet another takeover over by the 'peaceful grassroots' organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood, or the Arab Springs. 

I think it is first important to know that democracy is not the great thing that it is propped up to be.  The Founders warned against the 'evil of the 51%'.  Democracy, is not only impratical, it is also dangerous, as 51% could opress millions of people.  Having said that, the new gov't in Libya is NOT a democracy.  Leaders have announced that the country will be run 'on the principles of Sharia law', i.e a theocracy.  No matter what lies are out there today, Sharia law is barbaric and evil.  Woman aren't allowed to drive, and are not allowed outside the house without being with a man related to them.  If you steal, you get your hand cut off.  Those who turn from the faith are killed.  Woman have no rights.  Four men must testify to convict a man of raping a woman.  Evil.  Possibly the scariest fact is that Libya is just one of the several new nations under the control of the radical Islamic, Muslim Brotherhood.  The stated goal of this alliance is to prepare for war against Israel.  And don't misunderstand; we're next.  In the words of Ahmadinejad; Israel is the little satan and we are the big satan.  So while our politicians are praising this 'peoples democracy', don't believe the lies.  The Muslim Brotherhood is a dangerous force, and Libya may be worse off now then ever.

study hall

im sitting next to my wonderful black friend nathan hickman and megan my <3:33, thinking.

:)

For the record no president has ever received more money from Wall Street then the current one.  I'm glad that he is supporting the OWS but unfortunately, just like them he doesn't seem to understand what is being protested.  The truth is these 'useful idiots' are being used by SEIU and George Soros to push his radical socialist agenda and the destruction of this nation.  If anyone wants to join me, I think I will start an Occupy the Fed movement

Money Part 1

In this day and age no one seems to really be able to explain what money is.  The easy answer is the little green pieces of paper that are in our wallets, but that does not begin to touch the surface.  It would be like saying what rocks and answering limestone.  Limestone is a type of rock, but it doesn't explain what rocks are.  The same goes for money.  I hope by the end of this you will be able to understand and explain what money is and how it started.

In order to understand what money is, we must start at the beginning.  When civilizations first began to develop, barter was the system of trade.  When I wanted an item you had, I would trade you for it with something I had.  For example, if I had a computer and you had a big screen T.V that I desired, I would trade you my computer four your T.V(Note: First in order for barter to work we each must considered the item the other has to be of more value, or we wouldn't trade. Second I will be returning to this analogy of the T.V throughout.)  Barter worked for awhile, but it became burdomesome to carry around large materials to trade, and also ineffective for large scale trade. 

Soon a new form of a monatary unit developed.  This new form of exchange used resources, such as livestock, in trade.  So if I wanted your T.V, I would trade you two of my cows.  Livestock was able to be used in trade because livestock has intrinsic value.  This simply means that livestock has value by nature.  Cows can be milked or slaughtered for food, i.e they have value.  This type of money is called Commodity money.

As commodity money grew in popularity, it also began to change.  Again, it became inconvenient to carry around livestock, so precious metals were adopted as the form of trade.  With the dawn of the Bronze Age, metals became valuable as they could be melted down to create tools and weapons.  Precious metals were preferable when it came to money because there value could easily be calculated by their weight and purity. The value of  1g of 99% pure copper, for example, had a universal value.  Of all the precious metals, gold emerged as the universal standard currency, with silver at a close second.  This happened for several reasons, that we won't get into now, but the main reason was that there is the perfect amount of gold in the world, for it to retain its value.  The important thing to understand is that gold is the universally preferred monetary unit, with silver at a close second. 

It is important at this time to adress the issue of quantity.  The question is, how is their enough gold to supply the whole worlds economy.  The answer is that quantity doesn't make any difference.  If there is less gold, the market works itself out so the prices seem to go down.  If there is more gold, prices appear to go up.  The truth is, that the more gold there is, the less its worth.  This is the basic law of inflation.  Let me break it down using a micro example.  There are groups on an island.  One mines gold, and the other makes shoes.  They work it out so that 1 ounce of gold is worth one pair of new shoes.  This is determined by the idea that the amount of time, labor it takes to mine the gold, and intrisinic value of the gold is equal to that of the shoes.  Now suppose the miners found a stash of gold, and all of the sudden the miners had more gold than the cobblers have shoes.  This seems to create a problem, and in our society the gov't would intervene.  However, the truth of the matter is that the market will work itself out.  When the cobblers see that the miners have more money( the monetary quantity is increased) they simply raise prices, and it is like the miners never found the money to begin with.(analogy borrowed from The Creature From Jekyll Island)  The market corrects itself.

Again as society grew and developed, a new form of monetary form developed.  As men began to acquire more and more precious metals, they became inconvienent to carry.  What developed was a new type money called reciept money.  This worked by giving your gold to a goldsmith, who would give you a reciept in exchange.  This piece of paper would say pay to the bearer on demand.  This guaranteed that if you returned your receipt to the goldsmith he would give you your gold.  This is where your dollars originated, and before we went off the gold standard in the sixties, under Nixon, your dollar was redeemable in gold.

So why should we be on a gold standard?  Simple, because since there is a limited amount of gold, it is less suseptable to inflation.  Over the years gold is the only thing that has stood the test of time.  Gold has retained is value.  Also, a gov't on the gold standard can't rack up huge debt.  Since they are dealing with real money, they have limits and are bound to reality.  This differs from our gov't today that can print money out of thin air, allowing itself to fall into huge debt.

I will introduce you to two other forms of money in my next post.

Chess

I always find it interesting how analogies give us, not only the ability to understand a concept, but also the ability to extend our knowledge.  Today as I was walking around my neighborhood contemplating the future of our nation, an analogy popped into my head.  I hope this will give you an idea pf where we are and also hope for the future. 

For this analogy we will assume that life is a giant chess board, and we are all players.  In the game of life, every single move we make either gets us closer or farther away from victory.  At this point, we must define two things said in the previous sentence.  First, the idea that we are moving further or closer.  Although this is the case in must be said that certain decisions, such as where you go to college and what career you pursue, have larger impacts on 'the game' than decisions like whether or not to do your math homework.  Second, I use the word victory very liberally, in the sense that victory can come in various forms.  For example there are victories in the areas of morals, finance, and spirituality.  Nevertheless, every move we make has an impact on our game.

This same concept applies to our country.  Every move our country has made since its founding, has had an impact on where we are today.  From the decision that our founders made to seperate from Britain, to the writing of the Constitution; every move has made an impact.  Let's now look at a specific example of 'the game'in our country's history; the Great Depression.  The bad moves that our country made prior to 1929, led to the collapse that followed.  Now the U.S found itself in a fix, where the right moves had to be made to get them out of trouble.  The bad news was they had just lost a key piece, lets say a Rook, but the good news was that if they made the right moves, they could get themselves back into the game.  If the wrong moves were made, however, they would have lost.  Thankfully, our nation made the moves necessary to get us out of the situation.

Let us now move to the situation our nation faces today.  We again have made many dangerous moves that have moved us into a dire situation, and at risk of losing the game.  Unfortuantely we are much worse of then we were 70 years ago.  Just like the Depression, we are in a bad posistion in the game, but unlike 1929 we aren't playing with an almost full board.  Instead we are playing with only a few pieces.  For years we have been sacrificing our pieces, and now we are left with only a few left, and our opponet is dangerously close to our king.  The pieces we have left are: Of course our king, let this represent our nation as a whole.  Our queen, the Constitution, Federalist Papers, and the beliefs of our founders.  Our Bishop, the American people and their committment to freedom.  And two pawns, representing young politicians who are still unknown but stand for the Constitution.  These pawns are weak now, but if they have enough time can develop into queens standing firm on our Constitutional foundation. 

So now lets get to the game.  We have long been playing poorly, and our bad moves have cost us dearly, leaving little room for error.  Although we posses the necessary pieces to win, one bad move could cause us to lose a key piece and lead to the capture of our king and the end of the game.  We must understand that the window is about to slam shut, but there is still time, if and only if we act now.  The rightmoves must be made.  The election gives us a great oppurtunity to make a good move.  The election of either Ron Paul will signify a powerful move made by the queen.  The continual growth and influence of grassroots organizations like the Tea Party, make for a strong move by our bishop.  We must not forget, however, that we face a great enemy.  The opponets queen is our mounting debt and inflation.  Their bishop, our army spread abroad.  Their Rooks, are our two political parties refusing to represent the people.  We must act now and successfully eliminate our enemies before it is too late.  The good news is that the game is still being played and victory is still possible.

America, freedom, and Nazi, Germany

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and if I am not already considered a conspiracy theorist I soon will be.  As is always the case, I am held captive to the truth as revealed by the facts. So I guess here goes nothing, I will now introduce you to the Patriot Act and the destruction of freedom.  It will be helpful to note that in this I will be attempting to make connections between our destruction of liberty in America and what took place in Nazi, Germany.

I think it is proper to start at the beginning; in both our case and in the case of Germany.  We must understand that in order for the destruction of liberty, fear must first take hold.  When people are afraid they are willing to sacrifice their rights for security.  In the case of the U.S fear manifested itself in the form of the terrorists attacks on 9/11.  Before we go any further, let me make myself clear, I am not saying that the these terrorists attacks were in any way caused by the U.S.  I believe they were an act of jihad and a tragedy.  That being said, it is important to understand how the Federal gov't manipulated this event to push their agenda.  This fear allowed the President and Congress to take huge steps to destroying the freedom of Americans in the name of 'safety'.  This is exactly what happened in Germany.  On the night of february 27, 1933, the German Parliament building mysteriously caught fire and burned to the ground.  It is believed that the Nazis were behind this fire and used it to push their political agenda. "Those who are willing to sacrifice their freedom for security, deserve neither." Ben Franklin

Now that we understand the spur to this destruction of our liberty, we will look at what has been used to destroy it.  Soon after the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration and Congress pushed through the Patriot Act.  The Act was finished at 3 a.m and was passed 8 hrs later; keep in mind this is document is hundreds of pages long and Congress should read through anything they pass.  We will now attempt to look through several liberties that the Patriot Act restricts or destroys.

The first and most obvious breech in freedom is the Patriot Act right to monitor any and all citizens through the use of wire tapping and email/internet survellience.  Under the Patriot Act the gov't can listen to your conversations and read what you are writing.  The gov't has the legal right to read what I am writing at this second. This should both scare and anger us.  Although the American people were told this power would only be used against terrorists, this is simply not the truth.  There are over a million people that are on the gov'ts watch list as 'possible domestic enemy combatants'.  Now maybe I am wrong but I highly doubt that there are over a million terrorists in our country.  This list includes those in the southern states registered as a member of either the Constitution party or the Libertarian party.  So the question becomes who is considered a terrorist?  We have the answer.  Under the Patriot Act anyone person that the president considers a domestic enemy combatant can be detained, without any trial.  These 'terrorists' are denied the Constitutional right of habeas corpus.  So basically in President Obama reads my blog and determines I am a domestic terrorist, I could be arrested and thrown in prison.  Almost anyone who makes a loud enough protest against the federal gov't or the Patriot Act, is put on the list.  When they fly their ticket is marked SSSS and they are a considered a security threat and subject to being taken aside and searched. Does this sound familiar?  It should, because this is Nazi Germany in the 30's and East Germany after the war.  In communist controlled East Germany, although only about 10% of the population was being watched, the fear of the possibility of being watched paralyzed an entire nation.  Next lets look at the Nazi connection.  Anyone who was a threat to the state was systematically removed and thrown in prison or worse.  Possibly more disconcerting is the ability to use these lists to perform mass arrests.  This is a common theme throughout history.  Have you ever wondered how Hitler rounded up the Jews so quickly?  It was because they were on his list, who knew who they were and where they were.  Che did the same thing in Chile.  When a gov't wants control they must first take out those who oppose them.  EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons. 

The next thing that is happening in our nation is the limiting of the first ammendant right of freedom of the press.  Under the Patriot and Espionage Acts, those who oppose the Federal gov't in the press have been arrested and silenced.  Anyone who disagrees with the gov't in the press is labeled as a tratior and some are imprisoned.  Private blogger Joshua Wolf was arrested and deatained for almost a year for not giving up his private tapes of a protest.  He was treated like a war criminal!  This is America! There are too many other examples.  Sound familiar?  Try the propoganda of the Nazis and Goebbels, and their book burnings.  A gov't must silence its critics in order to take over.  There is an act that has been passed that deams protest as terrorism. EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media. 

Tertiary is the enhanced surveillance that has found its place in our country.  Surveillance cameras have been set up in large numbers all across our nation, under the guise of 'anti-terrorism'.  This is a favorite government ploy.  The government can literally see almost everything that is going on at any given time.  Think about it.  We all talk about how awesome Google is, but shouldn't this scare us?  Anyone can literally see and track you whenever they want.  There is a new feature on Google, that gives you the same options, but with a see-eye view.  The list goes on.  Any new cars has OnStar, which is advertised as a great service to 'protect the people'.  What isn't advertised is the fact that, even if you don't pay for the service,  OnStar can track where you are, how fast you're going, and can shut your car off whenever they want.  Scary stuff.  Even scarier is the new chip that is being developed, and is actually in circulation today.  It is a small tracking device that can be embedded in the skin.  It gives the gov't the ability to track you wherever you go.  This next quote comes from George Orwell's 1984.  What is often overlooked, is the fact that Orwell wrote this to describe what would happen in the Fabian Socialists took over.  They almost have. "Whether he went on with the diary, or whether he did not go on with it, made no difference. The Thought Police would get him just the same. He had committed— would still have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper— the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you."

Finally, under the Consitition the gov't is not allowed to raise a police force, subject to its will.  The founders were fearful of any military force that was not subject to the will of the people.  We see this in the 4th ammendmant.  This is slowly being ripped away from us.  A special group called Blackwater has been used by the gov't to supress our nation.  They were originally used in Iraq, but more recently this private, gov't hired organization is now attempting to secure our nation.  Do some research and understand what this organization has done to limit our freedom.  Again sound familiar? Very similar to the SS of the Nazis.

This was all begun under Bush, but has been escalated by the current administration.  Just days ago Congressman Jesse Jackson called for Obama to usuro Congressional power to push his agenda.  In a time where freedom is quickly diminishing the only hope we have is to return whole-heartedly to the Constitution.   For more info on this subject go to americanfreedomcampaign.com

One last quote from 1984

• Then the face of Big Brother faded away again and instead the three slogans of the Party stood out in bold capitals:
  WAR IS PEACE
  FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
  IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Truth above all

  Over the last few months the truth is something I have had to face.  As I have educated myself in the complicated world of politics and economics, I have been forced to face, in the words of Al Gore 'an incovinient truth.'  The facts arent easy to swallow and yet they must be as they are facts.

My transformation began several months ago and has continued with the guidance and companionship of Zach and Ryan Hayes.  What we have learned has shocked, scared, and most of all angered us.  Our opinions have changed and political views have been reshaped and remoulded nearer to the hearts of the great men that founded our nation. A few months ago I considered myself a staunch Republican and trusted anyone who had an R before their names.  The truth is that neither party represents the people, and both have been corrupted by power and wealth.  The Democrats of 40 years ago are today's Republicans.  Fakes like Rick Perry and Mit Romney parade themselves around as Conservatives when in actuality they are no different the the liberals they pretend to oppose.  The only difference is the Republicans have better rhetoric.  The real injustice is that the true conservatives, like Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, are mocked and ridiculed.  We live in a nation afraid of truth, who would rather live in the bliss of ignorance. 

I have learned that the U.S has anbandoned its non-interventionist roots, in favor of sticking our heads into any and every conflict world-wide.  This isnt something new.  Woodrow Wilson ran on a non-interventionist platform and then preceded to engage in WW1.  The same goes for our current president who promised to pull us out of all wars, and yet has perpuated our efforts across the world,  even sending new troops to Libya and most recently Uganda. "Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty." - George Washington
The real noninterventionist candidate; Ron Paul.

I have learned that the Federal Reserve, is not run by the Federal gov't at all, and is the most corrupt and evil organization in our country.  Men like Greenspan and Bernake have succeeded in running our county into the gorund and causing Stagflation.  They control both the interest rate and the inflation rate, and therefore our nations economy.  When the economy is bad, they 'open the fed window' printing millions of dollars out of thin air and drop the interest rate, creating a false boom.  At the same time causing massive inflation and allowing people to buy things they can't afford to pay off.  When this catches up to the market the boom cycle is inevitably ended, and the bubble is burst and a bust cycle ensues.  This is our economy; unstable and risky.  Again the only candidate who seems to understand and care about this is Ron Paul; see a pattern emerging?

As a result of what I have learned I no longer care about what any politician says.  They are all liars.   Show me you are for me, for the people by your actions and your voting record.  If you are running for governor then you better be representing my state; not a party or the whole nation, my state.  If you are my rep then you better be representing the people in your region and serving according to their needs.  I want a leader who has had a leadership posistion in the private sector, no more life- long politicians.  Serve me for the time you have been elected to, stop worrying about reelection.  Finally do what you were elected to do.  If you ran on no new taxes; dont raise taxes.  The power in the Republic belongs to the people and it is time to take it back.  In the words of George Washington. "The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves".

Scary times

If anyone has any questions about how bad off our country is, all they need to do is watch this video.  Jesse Jackson Jr. calls on Obama to be a dictator, to usurp Congressional powers to push his own radical agenda.  

This goes against everything in our Constitution.  As you watch this video understand the Communism that   is so obvious throughout.  What makes this even scarier, is that NONE of the news stations covered it; I only saw it on GBTV.  Glenn is a great American, and one of the only people who still teach Truth.

Make disciples of all nations

18And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

This verse is the mission of all Christians.  Christ says here I am, I have died for your sins and now I stand before you alive; go out and tell the world.  If we believe that He is who He says He is, then we have no choice but to tell the world.  If Christ really did come and die for the sins of the world and stands at the door and knocks, then it becomes our job to tell the world His message.  If we believe that we all have an appointed time to die and face judgement, then how selfish would we be to not tell everyone who surrounds us, and to give our lives to this one great mission

Give this some thought

Anyone who has read my blog or been around me for more than a few minutes knows that I think we as Americans are in for a huge suprise.  I believe that as a result for our irresponible fiscal policy and terrible decisions among both politicians and the American people, the dollar is about to collapse.  I realize how ridiculous this may sound and how easy it would be to dismiss it as an ill-founded conspiracy theory, but before you do this please do your research.  I have already done this research and what I have found has led me to these conclusions.  I hope I am wrong, I really do but I cannot ignore facts.  Do your homework and point out where I have erred, not for my sake but for yours.  This is too big of a threat to ignore in blind hope.  It is all to easy to ignore something because you do not want to face the results.  Please read and study.

Socialism

A war is being fought in America today.  It is a war that has consumed our people, our economy, our centers of education and our media.  This war is not fought with guns and knives, but it is much scarier, because few know that it is even being faught.  This war is a war against an idea, socialism.

At the heart of socialism is the ideal of elitism, that says the gov't knows better than the poor ignorant common man and that it knows whats best for you.  Socialism is so dangerous because it most often goes unnoticed until it is too late.  The best example of this in history, is that of Hitler and the Nazis(literally the national socialist party).  Although many misunderstand or a completely ignorant of Hitlers rise to power, it is vitally important to realize that Hitlers rise was a political one first and foremost.  Post-WW1 Germany was left in great debt and complete economic failure.  It was forced to pay for the costs of the war, leaving its citizens broke and the country facing hyper-inflation; a perfect climate for a socialist.  Hitler rose to power under the guise of a new and prosperous Germany, promising to regain national pride.  His ideas were centered around gov't handouts and "change".  The people, eager for a better life, were willing to sacrifice their freedom for an empty promise.  This is all it took for the rise of one of thses most evil regimes the world has ever seen.  What we must learn from this, is that we must always remain vigilant. 

In todays world men like Van Jones and George Soros, plot the overthrow of Western Culture behind the mask of helping those in need.  The truth is that gov't handouts help no one.  They create a society dependent on a gov't that can't sustain them, and encourages us to be consumers and to produce nothing.  What results from this is a weak society of illiterate idiots who cannot live apart from the protective hand of the gov't. 

I think it may be helpful to use an analogy to further explain the dangers of socialism.  Imagine that the country is a classroom, and the teacher the socialist leader.  In this class of 20 people 6 get A's, 7 recieve B's, 3 C's, 1 D, and 3 F's. Now in a capitalist society everyone would get the grade they deserve, based on how hard they work and their skills.  Socialists see this differently.  In their opinion the poor forgotten F's are undeservingly suffering.  In order to fix this apparent problem, they take away from those who have earned A's, because they don't really need an A, that would be greedy.  What results is a classroom of C's i.e no one wins so that no one loses.  This idea destroys all incentive, limits freedom, and goes against every inch of our human nature.  As humans we seek success and desire to be awarded for our hard work.  We also must not overlook the question of who gets to make the decisions regarding who gets what.  Are we willing to give up our freedom to the will of an unknown third-party, who is out of our control?

Right now the battle is being fought all around us.  Men like George Bernard Shaw and Saul Alinsky are hailed as heros, when in reality they are radical socialists who attack the very essence of American freedom.  Since this is a battle of idealogys the only way to win is through knowledge.  Read history, understand the men like FDR and Woodrow Wilson are socialists and sought to destroy America.  This plan was put into action by policies like Progressivism and The New Deal.  Read the Forgotten Man.  Know the truth and defend it
