I was visiting my mother last week for Resurrection Day. We had a very good visit and were able to talk over some things that had been on her mind. Mom is 64 and quite ill. She has heart problems and respiratory problems and a degenerative spinal problem, and she smokes.... while using oxygen! I've seen the results of a cigarette and oxygen tube combination. One of my acquaintances from years ago had a father in similar circumstances and he died in his chair by catching himself on fire. An oxygen rich environment makes material that normally would not burn very flammable. The smoker does not die in a sudden explosion. Instead the oxygen makes your skin, your chair, your rug, everything burn like gasoline. Being elderly and in poor health, they do not have the strength to get away from the oxygen or to fight the flames. I'm sorry if this scares somebody, I'm not telling you this because I get some kind of thrill from scaring people. I'm telling you this to let you know how I feel about it. Please speak to your loved ones who smoke and are on oxygen about the terrible danger of a torturous death or injury they are exposing themselves to.
On the second day of my visit, she started into a coughing fit and knew she was in real trouble. She did get her bronchial pathways cleared that time but it scared her. This same visit, my mother confessed to me that she is not ready to die. She is a believer, she does have a relationship with God, and she feels secure in the knowledge of that relationship. But she has regrets and she has a lot of time to run over those regrets again and again in her mind. She is in no condition to do anything to correct those things, but she doesn't feel ready to meet God because she is focusing on her works.
I have recommended she read Dennis Prager's book, "Happiness is a Serious Problem" I've even taken her a copy but she hasn't gotten to it yet. What she would learn from the book is that contentment is the key to happiness. Paul the apostle said; Philippians 4:11"Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be (B)content in whatever circumstances I am." So we do what we can toward reparations and leave the rest in God's hands with prayer and supplication.
I have been present at only one conscious death but that was of a non-believer. He had cancer and wasted away to nothing until he was, very like my mother, too weak to clear his bronchial passages. That man is the bravest man I've ever known. After the doctors had pronounced his case chronic, he refused any medical assistance to the very end to the point of fighting off an oxygen mask in his last minute. He was naturally very unsettled about the prospect of his death, but refused any 'preaching' from anyone. "He'd lived his life as an unbeliever and he damned sure wasn't going to hypocritically turn at the last minute."
I once read about a Christian who was secure in his faith so on the day he felt the nearness of his death and calling all his unbelieving acquaintances in to watch him die said, "Today, you will see how a Christian faces death." It may have been British preacher Charles Simeon who is quoted as he smiled brightly, “What do you think especially gives me comfort at this time?” When they all remained silent, he exclaimed, “The creation! I ask myself, ‘Did Jehovah create the world or did I?’ He did! Now if He made the world and all the rolling spheres of the universe, He certainly can take care of me. Into Jesus’ hands I can safely commit my spirit!”
This is the way I want to go when my time comes. Assured of God's approval, assured of my faith, assured I am going home to a mansion in the city of peace and not to rot in the dirt. This notion, "If I'm wrong I've lost nothing, but if I'm right I've gained heaven." (evangelical argument to atheists) is still looking backward. Those guys were eagerly awaiting their reward. So, with some reflection on the topic, I read over the phone to my mother, quotes of dying believers and quotes of martyrs. She searches the scriptures herself, but a little boost of fresh examples of life yielding faith can only encourage her.
I ask you to pray for her to find peace in these last weeks and months of her life. That she would know the presence of God and can use it to witness to unbelievers. Let her go in with a flourish sweeping lost souls into the faith as she goes. In her final struggle, may she demonstrate the presence and the goodness of God toward His children and may it all bring glory to the name of Jesus Christ.
I
was in a chat when a young woman mentioned that she'd had an abortion
years ago and knew that God had forgiven her, but she couldn't forgive
herself. She asked for advice on what she should do. By clicking here, you'll be linked to a site designed especially for parents who've made this decision, for free counseling.
Folks, abortion hurts more than the baby. The guilt is so heavy on the parents who make this decision, sometimes retroactively but it comes nevertheless, that they cannot accept the ultimate decision for forgiveness. If you are considering ending a pregnancy, consider this woman's story and think again.
The value of a child cannot be
measured in dollars and investment, in trouble and payoff, they're
worth is measured in potential and joy. The work invested in them is
its own reward. Like any relationship, just being near them and
interacting with them is amazingly joyful. Every child lost to abortion
is harmful on so many levels. To society, we've lost another wage
earner who would contribute to the economy and to the support of their
elders through the Social Security programs not to mention the
potential Einstiens and Tchaikovskys. To the community, we've lost a
contributor to local culture and support structure. To the family,
we've lost a daughter/son, sister/brother and continuing blood line. To
the parent, we've lost the most precious loving hearts.
When you
look at a little child and think, his/her mother could have decided
they were not prepared for the task of parenting and just "got rid of
it." what goes through your mind and heart. No big deal? When you look
at a man or woman who've contributed to society for decades, can you
think, they should have been aborted? According to the scriptures, this
thought is equivalent to murder. Why isn't actual abortion considered
murder? Because some men decided that a fetus is not a person and so
has no rights? No, because too many people are ignorant of the facts,
of the pain and guilt that follows, of the cost to society, and of the
lost talent that advance knowledge, contibute to the arts, or lead us
through evil times. God makes known his heart on this issue by giving
us a conscience. And conscience is a terrible punisher for wilfully
rebelling against God.
I know this kind of guilt though not through this kind of act. I worked through it by a Christian brother's advice to me, "If you were the only sinner on earth, God would have done that work on the cross for you alone. If God considers you valuable enough to send His Son to die on a cross to save you, and He has decided to forgive you, who are you to overrule His decision. Do not consider your judgment concerning your worth more valid than God's judgment of your worth.
I don't know how unbelievers deal
with this kind of guilt. Its too overwhelming to work through without
God to overrule my self disgust, and self loathing.
Geert Wilders of the Netherlands has been promising to release his movie FITNA for months now. (Fitna translated means 'unbeliever.' He has battled his own government and press in order to have the 'right' to release his movie to speak out about the dangers Islamism is posing to his culture and to his country. His only option for releasing this movie was to post it on the internet because no publisher or media outlet would open their doors to him. LiveLeak, here in America posted the movie for us because of their belief in freedom of speech even though they don't necessarily agree with the message. In less than 48 hours LiveLeak, the internet video posting service, pulled the movie from their site due to threats made against members of their staff. Our own media is complicit with this silencing of video evidence of Muslim aggression with regards to clips like the planes crashing into the towers during the attacks on the World Trade Center and Daniel Pearl's, Nicholas Berg's, murders which the radicals so proudly posted on the internet and many other examples. They do so on the basis these scenes are too disturbing while finding no trouble airing video of other murders or assassinations of political leaders. Remember the lawyer that was shot several times by his disgruntled client? The end effect is the dumbing down of the American public with regard to the vast array of the threats against Western culture. The author of 'Roots of Jihad' Dr. Tawfic Hamid and many others who would know tell us how the radical versions of Islam are main stream in Muslim countries' governments and educational institutions. During his interview on a Canadian news and commentary show, he explained radical Islam as that which teaches Salaf which is the root of Wahabism and moderate or mystic version of Islam is called Sufi. He explains that the Salafi teacher can point to hundreds of references in Islamic literature that support violent actions whereas the Sufi teacher is not theologically supported.
The 15 minute film displays the results of the murderous works of radical Islam in both their own culture and in our culture and compares these images with verses out of the Q'uran and sermons, speeches, and interviews made by the most popular radical religious, political leaders, and even their teaching institutions instructing their followers to kill the Jews and attack the infidel until he submits, that Islam will rule the world, will defeat and rule the U.S. England, etc., There is nothing false presented in the movie and it is offensive to Muslims because they fear retribution against their peaceful members for what the radicals are doing. I was fully aware of most of these images and the sermons and speeches because I have been blogging on this very topic for the last two years and had posted most of the images in my articles. The final message in the film is two-fold, "Stop the spread of radical Islam" and "Muslims must be the ones to reform Islam."
The subject of this article is to point out that Islamism is inhibiting free speech in the one country built on 'freedom of the people' and 'self governance.' The United States of America has been attacked in a far more damaging way than 11 Sep 2001. This attack is defeating our basic rights successfully and revisiting the question of whether free speech is a legitimate right to our citizens. We've been through this before with the marches by the KKK. We hate the message of the KKK but we allow them to say what they say because if they can't speak their message, then eventually we won't be able to speak ours. The difference in this instance is Islam. Islam en total is 1.3 billion people around the world and rapidly growing, a substantial number to be sure. Early into the struggle between radical Islam and the West, it was estimated that the radicals make up 10% of all Muslims. That comes out to 130,000,000 people who want to force Islam on the rest of the world. Add to that number the moderate Muslims who are offended by cartoons of Muhammad or videos revealing how extreme and how far spread Islamism has managed to become, because they fear Western retribution will fall on them, and you begin to see consequences of speech in a new light. Now, due to the threat Muslims are posing to the venues of modern day speech (LiveLeak, YouTube, etc.,) hacking the websites of any and all hosts who've posted FITNA and threatening their staff members and to the Western media's reluctance to look at the whole story, the controversial movie is difficult to access and information is more difficult to get. There are still sites where you can get it\ but they are increasingly less popular, smaller sites organized by people like Brigitte Gabriel and Dr. Hamid.

Are we going to go quietly into the night? Is this great country with all its history of radically committed members to freedom going to lay down its claim to freedom and personal rights? Does anyone still have the integrity and principals to stand against this onslaught of threats of violence to subjugate speech and overthrow our fundamental makeup as a society? We have to demand of our media the whole story, the whole truth and that they get over their idea that they can control what we should think. Write your editors, call your news agencies, email your congressman and make your voice heard. Get out in the street in front of the TV stations when they cheat us as Dan Rather did. GET ANGRY!!! Islam is the highest priority because they are beginning to institute the same tactics as they've used on Theoh van Gogh in the Netherlands and Mark Steyn in Canada. Islam is also the highest priority because they are using our own courts to terrorize the authors and researchers who study and report on Islamic terror tactics.
I say we act to make the violent fear retribution more than they hate free speech. E-mail threats can be traced. Each threat including harming, killing, or financial ruin should be prosecuted as a crime against basic human rights, similar to illegal confinement and kidnapping. Verbal threats are not included in the right to free speech. Verbal threats are a form of coercion as evidenced by the LiveLeak response, and they must be made illegal and prosecuted as a federal crime with a minimum punitive sentence of years imprisonment. The names of people who would coerce by threat should be made public and they should feel the full condemnation for their reprehensible actions. This could also address protection rackets run by organized crime.
FITNA was out long enough to have been downloaded and spread all over the net, (my friend has it up on her blog) she got it from Daily Motion so there is no chance Islamists will be able to silence us all. If you can host the movie, I recommend doing so for as long as possible. As the Rangers say, "Mount up and draw fire." We can only know who the enemy is by finding out who attacks us.
I found this today and it scares me. They are still playing posturing games and the news is making this information available to the enemy. So the enemy knows they can communicate with autonomy right now. Nobody's watching because its illegal. The original FISA bill only allows monitoring calls from outside the U.S. to outside the U.S. This is ridiculous!
[
Senator
Chuck Grassley accuses House Democrats of being reluctant to allow the
government to track foreign terror suspects, demonstrating to him that
they don't seem to want to stop those threats.
Before
leaving for its Easter recess, the House approved its version of the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, also known as FISA. President
Bush rejects Democrats' new version of the bill because it does not
provide legal protections for telecommunications companies that have
helped the administration conduct surveillance on foreign terror
suspects. The president backs a bipartisan Senate-approved version of
FISA.
Senator Grassley (R-Iowa) says FISA was critical in helping the
government thwart terror plots to blow up the Holland Tunnel in New
York and a building in Los Angeles. "We've been able to track
terrorists' telephone conversations under this law," he says, "and it's
going to run out if we don't get it renewed."
Grassley explains why he does not like how the House amended FISA.
"They're going to put roadblocks into our FBI and security agencies'
tracking [of] terrorist phone calls," he argues, "and we need to be on
top of terrorists' communications because we have found out that we've
been able to intervene and prevent terrorist activity."
He says because of FISA, the government also was able to recently put a
stop to a terrorist plot to blow up American defense facilities in
Germany.
The House, says the Iowa lawmaker, should have gone along with the
Senate version. "[B]ecause what we did ... was a bipartisan approach,"
he states. "In the House they tend to be more partisan. Democrats don't
seem to want to track terrorists."]
In Christendom we have a saying. Know Jesus, know peace..... no Jesus, no peace. Radical Islam is, and always has proven just the opposite for its faith. This study is historically and empirically supported. When
politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to "the
reasonable" Muslim demands for their "religious rights," they also get
the other components under the table. Here's how it works (percentages
source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)). As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given
country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a
threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films,
stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness: At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities
and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among
street gangs: From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic
standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims.
They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on
their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. (United
States). At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow
them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate
goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law
over the entire world. When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase
lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris --
car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in
uprisings and threats (Amsterdam -- Mohammed cartoons). After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning: At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare: From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and
other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia
Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels: After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide: 100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" -- the Islamic House
of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim: Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons. "Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It
was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my
family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and
the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel. -- Leon
Uris, "The Haj" It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France,
the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their
ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large.
Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would
indicate. Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.. www.frontline.org.za/books_videos/sti.htm

What the Western world finds when it invades Muslim controlled lands is a demonstration in anti-socialism on a grand scale. Afghanistan was divided clan by clan and in constant conflict. Iraq was undergoing ethnic cleansing of one brand of Islam against another brand. This is the Islam that was found by the British, French, and Spanish invaders in the last two centuries. This is why the West could invade at all, and even if Islam could manage to mobilize its entire 1.3 billion population around the globe to enforce conversion or death, it would merely return to its old ways of intra-Muslim killing. The evidence in history shows, unless Muslims stand up against their extremist
faction, they will incur the wrath of the Western world or they will face a world of never ending conflict, faction against faction, clan against clan, village against village.
It is a shame on Islam that the house of war knows more peace than the house of peace where Muslim upon Muslim violence claims more Muslim lives and stifles economic success than all the Crusades and the military actions of the last century in Muslim lands, combined. You are following liars, your media and your scholars and your clerics are propagating a massive conspiracy of hatred and blame on the West for the evils perpetrated on your people by your people. Break the stranglehold of fundamentalism and Sharia and call into accountability your leaders and informers. Some of you have access to the same information I do, and it is your responsibility to make the truth known to your people just as it is mine to my people.
These facts are opening the eyes of the peace activists and moderate factions in the West and their hatred and prejudice currently set squarely on the religions of the West will be redirected toward Islam and will be far greater than the so called 'crusaders' at work in Muslim majority lands today. Lies from Western and Eastern political leaders, Islamic religious leaders, news agencies, and embedded Muslim scholars in our institutions of higher learning are being revealed with the advent of the internet where people can now have information within minutes of events. The more 'in the news' violent Islam makes itself in current events, the more the public educates itself in the history of Islam and begin to shout down the ignorance of our so called tolerant and their sources of false information.
These revelations
source anger and hatred toward beneficiaries of the lies which cause great personal and financial cost to the
formerly ignorant West. Brothers, fathers, and sons are dying needlessly, economic
malaise for tax dollars and corporate profit results in funded Muslim
aggression toward the rest of the world needlessly. The end result
will be a world wide movement to eradicate Islam and in that day, the
farce of the 'house of peace' will pop and the resonance will be heard
till the end of time just as the farce of Hitler's super race resounds to this day.
About a week ago I did a post and promised to repost the article I did a couple of years ago where I linked several videos of religious and political leaders in Muslim territories speaking to thousands of people who were cheering death to America and proclaiming they would rule the world. It also had videos of 1st grade children being taught to wear the bomb belt and 'martyr' themselves for Allah. These guys have done a much better job of composing those videos and interviewing people who lived in or under the threat Islam poses to the world. Here is the text of the article I did before these videos were available.
The most honored political and religious leaders in the Muslim world boldly and proudly state their agenda to rule the world with Sharia Law. This is no secret conspiracy sneaking up on us from left field. They have TV networks broadcasting hate messages day and night. Even worse, they are propogating genocide on the Jews which is prescribed in their holy book. They persecute all other faiths within their spheres of influence by harrasment, torture, and murder and still practice slavery in some areas. Once they've provoked their victim nations enough to respond with military might, they utilize private dwellings, population centers, and even schools and mosques to fight from and hide their troops, weapons, and war supplies including explosives and amunition. So why do we get such one sided reports from the press all over the world, if we get anything at all?
Why does the U.N. give such leniency to these would be world rulers and condemn the actions of the most powerful and influential nations acting against them? Could it be that we are so fearful of repeating the atrocities of the crusades during the middle ages that most of us have lost sight of the basic necessities of self preservation? Or could it be that the less influential nations are taking advantage of the circumstances to reduce the influence of the greater nations? No, that still doesn't explain the actions of the international press corps. It must be that we still do not take the threat of third world dominance seriously. Perhaps its a combination of these plus natural fears accompanying armed conflict.
If we do not drop our facade of civility and go after murderous nations, organizations, and individuals to bring about their violent and rapid demise or the cessation of belief in the murderous interpretation of their faith, then we will be ruled by them under the authority of Sharia Law. Even in submission to their laws we would not find peace. Their is more Muslim blood shed by Muslims from year to year, than all anti-Muslim forces combined. I do not want a repeat of the crusades, nor am I suggesting genocide of Muslims, but I believe democracy's hand is being forced by the impending overthrow of rational, accountable governance. The Japanese didn't understand defeat until they knew they could cease to exist as a nation and as a people. When they submitted to this realization we stopped annihalating them. The same will be true of our war on the state supported and populace appoved terror.
The reluctance to name evil (et al. axis of evil Iran, Iraq, North Korea) when it is exposed, the tendancy to blame the truth speakers for the problems the world faces, the willingness of citizens of accountable governments to believe wreckless conspiracy theories enacted by their own leaders rather than recognize the charges made against them as parts of the propaganda warfare is encouraging and giving opportunity to the enemy to gain strength, experience, and technology and to weaken the resolve of the peace seeking members of the international community.
Peace at any cost ultimately will destroy the environment in which peace can exist. Appeasing terrorist bullies will result in greater terrorism, because the terrorist views this appeasement as a victory. Why shouldn't he, after all, he made threats, and he makes good on these threats and gets us to meet some of his demands. Without the threat and without the violence, in his eyes, he would have gotten none of his desires. Since he is operating from a position of religious fervor, these demands are not for self gratification, so economic woes are not a motivating factor.
This is demonstrated in the fact that the parties involved in the World Trade Center destruction were all middle class men of Arab descent and of the extremist Islamic faith. The same criteria apply to nearly all of the jihadis who've inflicted major terrorist attacks on opposing accountable nations. ie., Spain, United States, Bali, Istanbul, London and Manchester of the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, The Balkins, Beslan of Russia, Chechnia, Phillipines, Iraq, Iran, Thailand, Syria, Lebanon, France, Turkey, All over Africa from Jibuti to South Africa -Egypt -Kenya -Morocco -Sudan where genocide is happenig right now by the Islamic government -Algeria where over 150,000 Muslims have died at the hands of Muslims and there is always, Israel.
We see these as individual wars, but in the Jihadi's eyes these are meerly different fronts of the same war to force Islam into every corner of the world as a ruling government and the only religion to be practiced.
You can't make up stuff better than this!

Jesse Jackson's New Staff Member:Mel Reynolds
Jesse Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat Congressman Mel Reynolds
to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals
excused in President Clinton's last-minute forgiveness spree.
Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15
convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud, and lies to the Federal Election
Commission He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five
years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer.
This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had sex with a
subordinate...won clemency from a president who had sex with a
subordinate...then was hired by a clergyman who had sex with a subordinate.

YOUTH COUNSELOR
IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?
My job takes me around the neighborhoods of my little community here in Orange County. The other day I met a man by the name of Jerry Nail. I took a couple of minutes to get to know Mr. Nail because the man is 83 years old, and like most people of years, he has some stories to tell. Mr. Nail is a veteran of the Korean war and a simple skill was all that kept him out of combat.
He was drafted into the Army and went through basic training in a tiny little town south of Santa Cruz. He met an old friend there and was quickly put to work with his simple skill. Valued among the many grunts coming through the station, he was treated rather well. He was housed off base, commuted to work with this buddy, and all in all, had a pretty good time of it. Then orders came down that he was to be shipped over to the war zone. So he sent his wife home to Orange County and got on a boat that took a month to get there. He'd been assigned a bunk on the bottom of a stack of five berths at the very bottom deck of the boat. Although the boat was large, the seas were rough for much of the voyage and the hull of the boat was lifting out of the water and slamming back down onto the surface with a great thud. Even metal as thick as the hull of a ship can only take so much punishment and sure enough, water started sloshing forward and aft with every tilt over the waves. They had to bilge pump out the water and repair that tear en route. Well, when he got there, they had them lined up and were checking them in when a buck sergeant (E-3) [all of 12 months of service under his belt] said to him, "Says on your paperwork you can type. Is 'at true?"
"Yep"
"You any good at it?"
"Well sure."
That's where he got his assignment. So while many of his basic graduates got handed a rifle and were sent directly to the front line, he was sent to the Adjutant General's staff in Seoul. There's where he did his entire tour in Korea. There is a verse in the Bible that describes the blessings of skills, otherwise known as talents. It says, "A man's talents make room for him." I asked him what it was that got him to learn how to type and he sheepishly replied, "Well, I wanted to be where the girls were."
Remember that friend back at basic training? When Jerry was back on home ground, his friend had made quite a lot of money in construction and real estate. Jerry found this plot of land and the friend volunteered to build his house for him and told him if he had to use extra laborers he'd have to charge him for their labor, otherwise it was on the house, er. so to speak. Turns out, the friend paid for the lot, less than $500.00, the material, and the labor. Jerry basically got his house in Orange County as a gift from a friend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I met another 83 year old man today, named Frank. He didn't give me his last name, but he served in the Army Air Corps. as a nose gunner during WWII. He said he'd manned every gun on the 'Fortress' except the top gun, but his assignment was the nose gunner position. He flew more than 50 missions and told me it was alright, that he didn't mind it much until he knew more about it.
When you start hearing the horror stories of other men's experiences, then you start fearing when your turn will come. It is my great fortune that his turn never came. Anyway, Frank came back to the states and got some education in electronics. Mind you, this was before transistors were invented. From there he began to work with flight simulators. In those days you had to figure all the dynamics of motion, control input, reaction, and feedback in math by hand. Later on he started working with computers and by the time he retired, he had no interest in computers. He told me he hadn't read a novel since high school. Friends would ask, you don't read? He'd have to say, well I read all the time, but it's tech manuals to keep up with the technology. He was very interested in my report on free energy but my skills of understanding these things is very limited. I described what I did understand and he was impressed but still seemed reluctant to accept that it was feasible. Old people have enough sense not to argue with somebody who's convinced he knows what he saw was real. Whether it was real or not, he will argue for days he knows what he saw.
I was proud to meet and get to know one more of our unassuming heroes. God bless 'em everyone. I don't know if I have any young readers, but if I do, here's a valuable bit of advice. Whenever you get around an old person, start asking them about some of their adventures. You're bound to hear at least one story better than you'll find in most books or movies. I've only given you the highlights of these two men but they know how to present their adventures so you feel like you were right there with them when they were standing in those lines that would determine the course of their destinies. By the way, both of these men were draftees. I'd offer pictures of these guys, but Motorola software sucks. It will not interface with a computer. I want to fire Verizon for selling these phones on the promise that you can move you music files from your computer to the phone or pictures from the phone to the computer.
I have no idea how old the water turbulation heat generator is but it produces as much as 70% more energy than it uses. This is called overunity. Other inventors like Minato from Japan not only has a working prototype and financial backers like these other examples of overunity, but also has a market and is manufacturing his motors for sale on a grand scale to corporations.
The Lutec motor is producing 3 1/2 times more energy than it is using. Another one claims to produce 5 times as much as it is using. One claims to produce 200+ horse power. People, that is plenty to run a small to mid-sized
As you can see in these videos that this technology is all over the world. Similar inventions are in Australia, Belgium, Asia, and America. Now, if this technology is this old, and this prevalent, why aren't we using it in our homes, in our cars, and in our factories? We have to look at the industries that would be put out of business. The oil industry employ the strongest Lobby in Washington. Add to that the Electric companies and the piped natural gas companies and you are looking at probably millions of jobs. All of this energy is taxed multiple times before you use it, and those employees pay income tax. These devices could replace all of this inside of five years by private sales to individual home owners and auto owners. Estimate a price range of $5000.00 per unit and think how long it would take to save that much money from not paying for electricity and fossil fuels. If I were a teenager looking to get my first car, I'd first look at the engine, and if I could get 200 hp electric in a Ford Pinto or an AMC Pacer, I'd be thrilled.
Drug and alcohol addicted people know the cost of breaking addictions. There are very bad experiences that go along with recovery. Facing old fears, and learning new behavior patterns are deeper than what we need to deal with. We have to deal with the physical aspects of addiction. During the first days or months of an addicts recovery, they experience physical illnesses. Very much like drug or alcohol addiction, we are destroying ourselves, but having fun doing it, and now that we see the consequences, the fun is drying up and we are left only with the addiction.
We have to find a way around the oil addiction. We have to stop funding the spread of violent Jihad and radical Islamism. The King and princes of Arabia seek every opportunity to spread their billions around in support of promoting Islam. It is not worth giving our hard earned dollars to the House of Saud when those same dollars are spent on our defeat and extermination as a culture. It may cause a world wide collapse of the financial institutions. It may lead to a world wide version of the great depression. But I'd rather suffer a little sickness for a couple of years than live comfortably until they come to take my head. This is the option they give you when you are under their influence. Say the Muslim prayer and live, reject Allah and his prophet and lose your head to an over-sized, rusty butcher knife. So, what will you choose? comfort and high priced fuel for a few decades? economic depression, soup lines, searching for gainful employment for a few years, but at the end being free from the influx by violence of Islam and being free from energy costs and the suppliers?

To: United States Congress From: Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation Re: Iraq Veterans Against the War Later this week a group calling themselves "Iraq Veterans Against the War" (IVAW) plan a march on Washington, DC, similar to the one staged in April, 1971 by their forebears, "Vietnam Veterans Against the War" (VVAW). Like their predecessors, IVAW will claim that several in their group have either participated in or witnessed war crimes committed by their fellow American troops in Iraq. According to news reports, the IVAW intends to have their claims of war crimes read into the Congressional Record. Before you listen to or acknowledge them, you would do well to fact-check their stories, verify that the accusers actually served in combat units in Iraq at the times they claim, and determine if there is any support for and corroborating evidence of their war crime and atrocity claims. Many members of Congress were embarrassed by the VVAW some 37 years ago because they failed to conduct any investigation, instead accepting these allegations without question. In April, 1971, "testimonies" of some 116 VVAW members alleged heinous war crimes and abuses, reportedly known and approved by the entire U.S. chain of command. These "testimonies" were first read into the Congressional Record on April 5, and later repeated in a high-profile hearing conducted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. None of the persons presenting war crimes "testimonies" were ever put under oath, and none of their allegations were challenged or questioned by Congress. Members of Congress who were looking for a way out of the war in Vietnam were only too eager to accept those "testimonies" to step up anti-war sentiment and justify withdrawing all U.S. troops and de-funding support to our Vietnamese allies. As a result, the outrageous claims made in the so called "Winter Soldier investigations" and repeated before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee became the popular history of the Vietnam War, embellished by Hollywood and the mainstream m |
