STUPIDITY: ANOTHER STORM, ANOTHER OUTAGE!

‘When the Righteous succeed the people rejoice,
But when the bad govern, men groan!’ – Proverbs 29:2

STUPIDITY: ANOTHER STORM, ANOTHER OUTAGE!

They say that “Stupidity is doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result!” – well that definition fits a lot of things WRONG in West Virginia, and especially in Pocahontas County!  Within the last six-years or so every time the wind blows stronger than 10 mph, or a heavy rain occurs, or any kind of ‘snow storm’ – WHAT HAPPENS?  There is some kind of POWER OUTAGE and it lasts for hours or days – this time for close to forty (40+) hours and on THANKSGIVING DAY!  Just how many folks & families were effected most likely will never be known, but the FACT THAT IT OCCURRED – that is now well-known and could have been avoided – IF ALL MAJOR POWER LINES WERE BURIED as the smart folks do in Europe & elsewhere!

Now it’s a fact that burying power lines costs about six-eight times as much as putting power lines on poles – but NOT when you consider the total loss of power several times a year, year by year, as is now occurring under the MONOPOLY of Alleghany Power / Mon-Power!  So why is the problem not being addressed or corrected but just piecemealed together incident after incident?  IT’S CALLED CORPORATE STUPIDITY & GREED!  If Mon-Power were a PUBLIC CORPORATION instead of a private-for-profit corporation, then SOMEONE could and would be held responsible and the ‘buck-would-stop-on’ the desk of some public official who could easily be replaced!  During the ‘Eisenhower-Era’ all utilities were Public Corporations and constantly held responsible to service the public at all times – and when water & sewage, electricity & (natural) gas, or other public services were disrupted, such as buses & trains, etc. – those who worked for those services were on the clock 24/7 until the problem was fixed – they didn’t take off to have their ‘Thanksgiving Turkey’ while their neighbors were without service! 

The same applied to BELL TELEPHONE, although a private-corporate-monopoly at the time, Bell was REGULATED as if it were a public corporation and if & when telephone lines went down for any reason, the men on the poles never came down until the problems were fixed!  BUT NOT SO nowadays, now the monopoly services cut every corner they can find, and let the public suffer the losses & inconveniences!  IT’S PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE!  And since the breakup of Bell, the local Frontier Telecommunications is perhaps the worse of them all! 

But for those that are not individually ‘stupid’, stop & think for a moment: Doesn’t Alleghany Power rake in MILLIONS & BILLIONS from all its customers?  Hasn’t it ripped us all off  from its ‘ESTIMATED RATES’ month after month for who knows how many years, let alone add insult to injury OUTAGE after OUTAGE?  The Public Service Commission (PSC) received so many continuous complaints that it now requires an ACTUAL MONTHLY READING of every electric meter on every building – AND WHAT HAPPENED?  All electric billing fell 50% or more when actual usage was read compared to the ESTIMATED-BILLING done by the power company sitting in their offices!  Then WHAT HAPPENED?  The private-electric company simply went back to the PSC and asked for a RATE-INCREASE!  So while the monthly billing under the ESTIMATED-RATE-USAGE raised every monthly billing per/household to from $100 - $160 per/month, and while the ACTUAL-RATE-USAGE cut every monthly billing to $30 - $70 per/month, the NEW-RATE-INCREASE has again brought every monthly billing back again to between $110 - $185 per/month – yet we are still getting the same lousy service every time the wind blows, it rains or it snows!

And don’t you find it strange that the ‘business-community’ along the main roads seem to always have their electric power, or are the first to have it restored after a ‘storm’ – while the rest of the community sits in darkness?  What does it take to get on THAT TRUNK LINE?  So why don’t we have our power lines UNDERGROUND so they won’t ‘fall down’ in any kind of storm and service everyone equally?  Anyone ever watch the ‘Tour de France’ in July each year?  Ever see any ‘wires-on-poles’ as we see everywhere here in America?  Nope, and you won’t since most European countries BURY THEIR WIRES for safety, convenience, aesthetic, and other common sense reasons!  Perhaps that’s one of the reasons most Europeans believe Americans are ‘stupid’ – along with a host of other economic, social, political, domestic and foreign-policy reasons!  And perhaps that’s also why many states, like California (by leading the way), has taken back control of public utilities and made them again Public Corporations, always accountable to the Citizens!  California also BURIES its main electric power lines – but then again, like the Europeans, California uses renewable WIND TURBINES for electric power instead of toxic-coal-fired power plants that spread asthma & cancer to ‘stupid people’ who tolerate it – or just don’t know any better!

BUT THE PROBLEM DOESN’T JUST STOP THERE!

Take the WV Department of Highways (WVDOH) and its ‘stupid’ idea of placing stone/gravel along all our roadways INSTEAD OF FULL PAVEMENT or BLACKTOP from side to side as is done in the more intelligent states!  Other than the ‘stupid’ excuse that the placing of stone/gravel along all our roadways causes traffic jams & delays in the Spring & Fall, and KEEPS NEPOTISM in place whereby one person actually uses a shovel while nine others lean on their shovel and watch the one working – what real purpose does having six-twelve-to-eighteen inches of stone serve along our roadways?

WOULDN’T IT MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE TO PAVE THE ROADWAY COMPLETELY FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND PROVIDE A BIKE PATH ON EACH SIDE OF THE ROAD – INSTEAD OF THE NONSENSE SIGNS SAYING ‘SHARE THE ROAD’ WITH A SINGLE OR GROUP OF CYCLISTS COMING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ACTUAL ROADWAY ITSELF?

And then we wonder just why the foreign media, the domestic corporate media, Hollywood comic celebrities, late night talk shows & such all say, ‘AMERICANS ARE STUPID’!  It isn’t getting any better as now 4 of 10 (40% or more) Americans CANNOT tell you the names of the 50 States or where they are located, and over 1/3 of all Americans CANNOT tell you the three-branches of government!  In this county, asking that question would require you to tell the listener what species of TREE the three-branches are on!  If you don’t believe us, consider that in this election year, in both the primary & general elections –

THE VOTERS OF THIS COUNTY ELECTED THE LEAST EDUCATED COUNTY COMMISSION IN THE HISTORY OF POCAHONTAS COUNTY –
set to take office 01 January 2015 !

Of the nine candidates that ran for county commission – and lost – all but three were college educated with COLLEGE DEGREES – and two of the three without College Degrees won over those that were college educated!  WHAT DOES THAT SAY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTY!  Well it could mean that they are ‘too stupid’ to know the difference!  That ‘stupid does as stupid is’!  That the Voters are ‘too stupid’ to know the difference between living under their current FEUDAL-SYSTEM compared to living in a DEMOCRACY!  That the majority of those that voted are afraid of CHANGE & PROGRESS since they favor their current Poverty & Pauperism because they know they lack the education or willpower to improve themselves!  There are probably lots of other reasons as well, such as the ‘Priests of Baal’ & ‘Daughters of Isis’ usually vote as a block for ‘one of their own’ election after election.  But suffice it to say – Stupidity is doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result!” – so sooner or later…    

WE WILL REAP WHAT WE HAVE SOWN
… & then some!

As some of you may already know, a pro-longed lawsuit lasting in excess of SEVEN (7) YEARS concluded within the Eleventh Circuit Court & the West Virginia Supreme Court within the last year and now the PCSWA ‘thinks’ it has a ‘free-hand’ to really ride rough-shod over the folks of this county – BUT WE HAVE NEWS FOR THEM – THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE FIGHT TO RESTORE SOCIAL JUSTICE TO THIS COUNTY!

Negotiations have already begun for a CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT into the tens-of-millions-of-dollars with several law firms that handle these kinds of large-lawsuits and before the smoke clears after this ‘CIVIL WAR’ we may all live to see the likes of Riley, Burks & their co-conspirators groveling in the dust by having to pay-back ALL THAT THEY HAVE STOLEN from the people of this county!  Rather than put all of our eggs in one basket – there’s folks interviewing different law firms & attorneys capable of such large ‘CIVIL SUITS’ since once a lawsuit of this type begins – it’s non-stop until a Victory occurs for the mutual benefit of all concerned!  IT’S LONG OVERDUE IN THIS COUNTY…& then some!

In the last SEVEN (7) YEARS we have seen the likes of former Judge Pomponio totally FAIL in his duties to conduct a ‘fair & honest’ trial, let alone permit witnesses & evidence to be put into the court record.  The case lasted seven-years because Pomponio allowed the PCSWA a lapse of four-years – and instead of dismissing as the rules require – Pomponio allowed it to continue without the required admissible evidence!  So instead of an honest-trial, Pomponio simply ignored all requests for the bringing forth of admissible evidence, witnesses, cross-examination, and such that one would or should expect from a ‘Trial Court’! 

And as a direct & proximate result, the West Virginia Supreme Court took the ‘blind-eye’ approach and simply also refused to consider any admissible evidence or any of the merits of the cases before them under the pretext that since the Eleventh Circuit Court made no rulings during the past seven-years that the Supreme Court could not ‘second-guess’ or make any rulings either!  And this has all occurred even though the attorney for the PCSWA has never had any lawful authority to represent the PCSWA without meeting specific conditions – which the law firm has been negligent – and in spite of the fact that the PCSWA utterly ignored & FAILED to conduct it’s affairs within the ADMINISTRATIVE COURT PROCESS that is required for quasi-government agencies!

SO NOW FOLKS – THIS WHOLE MATTER IS RIPE TO MOVE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SINCE IT’S NOW BECOME A MATTER OF THE VIOLATION OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF EVERY PROPERTY OWNER WITHIN POCAHONTAS COUNTY + THE EXTORTION OF EVERYONE ON THE PCSWA & THEIR ATTORNEY AGAINST
‘WE THE PEOPLE’!

But not to worry!  Class Action lawsuits are paid for by the government to SERVE JUSTICE – thus our attorneys will be paid for by the government pursuant to the number of folks illegally sued by the PCSWA + the aggregate amount! 
It won’t cost any of us a single dime!

THE PCSWA WILL INDEED REAP
WHAT IT HAS SOWN
… & then some!

OPEN LETTER ASKING: WHY DO FUNDAMENTALISTS SUPPORT ISRAEL -- WHEN THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER?



18 NOVEMBER 2014, Vol.1, No.79 > OPEN LETTER ASKING: WHY DO FUNDAMENTALISTS SUPPORT ISRAEL – WHEN THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER?

The POCAHONTAS CRIER
‘When the Righteous succeed the people rejoice,
But when the bad govern, men groan!’ – Proverbs 29:2
[New Email address: pocahontascrier88@gmail.com]


The following Open Letter was written & published 26 years ago in 1988 – yet it is just as relevant as if written today pursuant to the savage treatment of the unarmed Palestinian Arabs under the brutal Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) that continue to steal the homes & lands of the Palestinians while the ruling-regime of the USA & certain so-called ‘Christian Evangelical’ groups & leaders continue to ignore history & reality & look the other way!  So instead of preparing & beating the ‘drums-of-war’ yet again, perhaps we as Americans should wise-up & learn what we should have already been taught – especially when it’s right in front of our eyes!  Ignorance (i.e., lack-of-knowledge) is no excuse for acts of stupidity!


OPEN LETTER ASKING:
WHY DO FUNDAMENTALISTS SUPPORT ISRAEL -WHEN THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER?

     This article is a CRITIQUE ("a critical estimate or discussion", Merriam-Webster Dictionary), of the so-called "Judeo-Fundamentalists & Evangelicals" in general and the recent actions of Dr. Carl McIntire, president of the International Council of Christian Churches (ICCC) in particular.  The ICCC is the largest Protestant association of churches in the world.  They claim to represent the "historic Christian Faith"!

     For over 50 years, Dr. Carl McIntire (81), in addition to the ICCC, has had an enviable career as pastor of the Bible Presbyterian Church, Collingswood, South Jersey; served as Chancellor for Faith Theological Seminary, Shelton College, Faith Christian Schools and is also principal speaker for the radio and TV ministries of the '20th Century Reformation Hour', to name a few activities.  I know these things because I studied under him in Shelton College (Class of '67);  was a church member for 25 years;  my children attended Faith Christian Schools where I routinely was a teacher;  he officiated at my mother's funeral;  and I have had Dr. McIntire as a guest in my home numerous times.  Thus I write this 'critique' as a friend, since I hold the highest respect for his testimony to YHVH's Laws and the exposure of corruption in the government schools, the media, that of bureaucrats, and the Communist clergy, etc., that has been accomplished by Dr. McIntire in his distinguished career.

     So, why a critique now?  Because NOW one is necessary on a particular issue that affects us all!  Now is the time for our blinders to come off...for us to realize our true 'Identity', not only as Christians (Acts 11:26); but also as descendants of Abraham's son, Isaac (Ge. 21:12 = Ro. 9:7); and further, YHVH (YaHoVaH) has promised our awakening (Hosea 1:10, 11 & 2:23)!

     This critique will center on a series of full page newspaper ads appearing from March through May 1988 in the WALL STREET JOURNAL, the NEW YORK TIMES, the WASHINGTON POST and many other major dailies across the nation.  Who paid for these ads, one might ask?  None other than the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) under the auspices of Jack Mondlak with the assistance of Dr. Carl McIntire!  The occasion was for the 40th Anniversary of the establishment of the mid-East political sub-division called "Israel"!

      These full-page ads consisted primarily of two parts.  The bottom half-page, written by Jack Mondlak, represented the "Jewish position" with their standard practice of calling anyone critical of Israel, "the haters of Jews", "the enemies of Israel", and "a new rise in Nazism", etc.  After all, Israel is "this tiny island of democracy, of spiritual and moral strength", ad nauseam;  not to mention "how important Israel is to American strategic interests in the Middle East"!  (Try reversing the names in this quote!).  In between the 'dribble' is the plea NOT to ask the Israelis to give up any of 'its territory' for the 'Palestinian refugees', who were driven from their homes by the immigrating ‘Jews’ in the first place (ref.: CONQUEST THROUGH IMMIGRATION)!  Instead, "let the Arab countries give them land for their own flesh and blood, for their own brethren"!  Such is a quick summary of the now familiar "Jewish propaganda", the lack of substance of which is not the primary subject of this critique.

     The top half-page of the full-page advertisements were written by Dr. Carl McIntire, ostensibly representing the "Christian's obligation to Israel.  It is a debt that cannot be paid.  The Prophets and Apostles were Hebrews", etc.  This too can easily be recognized as the 'standard propaganda line' of the so-called Judeo-Fundamentalists wherever one finds the influences of the 'Scofield Cultists' quoting the erroneous Scofield Reference Bible Notes!  Anyone raised in these circles, as I was, will readily recognize these 'Traditions of Men' as the 'Jewish fables and false doctrines' warned about by the Apostles (Titus 1:14).  The real question is, "What saith YaHoVaH Almighty?"

     Dr. McIntire, as a Presbyterian, above all others, should know the 15 Great Covenants of Scripture that YHVH made, some with mankind in general, the rest with particular persons on both conditional and unconditional terms.  Presbyterians, as 'Calvinists' are 'Covenanteers', yet the 'seepage of Scofieldism' has taken its tool of the so-called 'historic Christian Faith' to such an extent, that most Christians would rather be told what's in the Bible, than to study YHVH's Word for themselves!  And most ministers keep their flock in the 'toddler stage' as criticized by the Apostle Paul (Heb. 5:11-6:12)!

     What Dr. McIntire and the Judeo-Fundamentalists should be asking is:  Do those calling themselves "Jews" have any right to a political state called "Israel" in the Palestinian region of the Middle East?  Just whose land is it according to the Biblical record?  The key is understanding the Covenants of YHVH, and the "Marks of Identity" for YHVH's Chosen People as recorded in Scripture and substantiated by Historical, Archaeological, Linguistic, Scientific, and other facts!

     YaHoVaH Our Creator made two kinds of Covenants.  One kind were conditional which required 'cause & effect', i.e., "If certain conditions were met, then blessings; and if not, then curses".  The other kinds are unconditional Covenants, where YHVH's promises are unalterable and unchangeable.  Because of Abraham's willingness to offer his son, Isaac, YaHoVaH The Creator made an unconditional Covenant with Abraham.  Within this Covenant the 'Marks of Identity' can begin to be seen.  In the Abrahamic Covenant (Ge. 12:1-3; 13:16; 17:4-8, 18-20; 24:34, 35; Gal. 3), especially in Ge. 12:7; 15:18; 17:8, YHVH promises the land of Canaan (Palestine) as an everlasting possession to Abraham's descendants.  But, knowing which "descendants" holds the answer!

     In Ge. 16:7-14, YaHoVaH makes an unconditional Covenant with Hagar, the handmaiden of Abraham's wife, Sarah, by whom Abraham fathered his first son, Ishmael.  Ishmael in turn became the father of 12 sons who became rulers and forefathers of the Arab peoples (Ge. 17:20; 21:17, 21; 25:12-18), a fact substantiated by the Biblical, Historical and Archaeological record, etc., and one easily admitted by the Arab peoples.  That would make Arabs the half-brothers of Caucasians!

     An unconditional Covenant was also made with Sarah (Ge. 17:15-19; 18:9-15; 21:12), whereby the Abrahamic Covenant (Ge. 17:4-8) would be established in Isaac (Ge. 26:1-5), later ratified and confirmed to Isaac's son, Jacob (Ge. 35:10-12).  Jacob's name was changed to "Israel" (Ge. 32:28) and he became the father of 12 sons who were the forefathers of the "Israelites" (Ge. 35:22).  One son, Joseph, was sold into slavery by his brothers, but later became a ruler in Egypt.  Joseph had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, who were adopted for the birthright blessing by Jacob / Israel.  Ephraim replaced Joseph's tribal position making Manasseh the thirteenth tribe (Ge. 48:16-20).  Each tribe was given a portion of land in Palestine under Joshua, except for the Levites, who were the professional class and civil servants to serve the governmental needs of the combined Israelite Republic.  They dwelt in certain cities (i.e., county seats) among the 12 States comprising the Hebrew Republic.

     Prior to entering the Promised Land (i.e., Palestine), YaHoVaH married the Israelite people (Ex. 19:8; 24:3, 7) and established the Mt. Sinai (Mosaic) Covenant.  This Covenant consisted of the 613 Laws, Judgments and Statutes given to Moses (beginning in Exodus 20), which when kept brought material, physical and spiritual prosperity.  The Ritual Ordinances (i.e., animal sacrifices) were instituted for any violations of the Divine Laws, and their necessity ceased with the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus The Messiah (Ro. 6:10; Eph.5:2; Heb. 7:22-27, 9:12-28, 10:1-12; 1. Pe. 3:18).

     However, the Israelites became disobedient shortly after their marriage vows.  YaHoVaH would have destroyed them (Ex. 32) were it not for Moses' pleading and YHVH's unconditional promises (Covenants) to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel (Ex. 32:11-14).  YHVH then established a conditional Covenant for the land, known as the "Palestinian or National Covenant" (Ex. 33:34; Lev. 26; De. 11:8-32; 27:1 - 30:20) whereby Israelite ownership of Palestine was 'conditioned' upon obedience to all of YaHoVaH's Laws, Judgments & Statutes.  But the Israelites only remained obedient under the leadership of Moses, Joshua, several of the Judges, David and most of Solomon's reign.  After the division of the ten northern tribes of Israel from the ruling house of David and the southern tribes of Judah, Benjamin and the Levites, the obedience of the people was intermittent depending on the faith of each king.  Finally, YHVH separated, then divorced the Israelites beginning in 745 B.C. (2. Ki. 17-19; Jer. 3; v.3, 8) and ending in 540 B.C. with the fall of Jerusalem (2. Ki. 24-25)!  The conditional Covenant to keep the land thus ended!  Henceforth the land of Palestine was given to the descendants of Ishmael in fulfillment of the promises to Abraham, Hagar and Ishmael by Covenant, etc.  Hosea 2 (especially v. 6), confirms that once divorced by YaHoVaH, Israel as a nation would never return to their "old land of Palestine" again!

     In fact, even in the midst of prosperity under King David's reign, YHVH, in making an unconditional Covenant with David to establish the Davidic Throne forever (2. Sam. 7:1-17; Is. 9:6, 7; Lu. 1:32-35), promised to provide a place for His people, Israel, and plant them so they could have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed (2. Sam. 7:9-11; 1. Chr. 17:9)!  The Historical and Archaeological record, including the Chronological record of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh (which is spoken of in Is. 19:19, 20 as a 'pillar' in some translations, although 'monument' is correct), confirms the fulfillment of that particular promise in 1776 when the Laws given to Moses again became "the Laws of the Land" here in America.  After all, the 'new homeland' was to be northwest of Palestine (Is. 49:12; Jer. 3:18); where the Israelites were to have a 'new language' (Is. 28:11); become YHVH's witnesses (Is. 43:1, 10-12; 44:3, 4; 59:21; Haggai 2:5); 'colonize' desolate places of the earth [only Caucasians has done this] (Is. 35:1; 43:19, 20; 49:8; 54:3; 58:11, 12); live in islands and coasts of the earth (Is. 41:1; 49:1-3; 51:5; Jer. 31:7-10); become blind to their national identity (Is. 42:16-19; 43:8; Hosea 1:9, 10; 22:6; Ro. 11:25); become YHVH's 'battle-axe' against wickedness (Jer. 51:19-24; Dan. 2:34, 35); and come under a 'New Covenant' sealed by the circumcision of the heart, as fulfilled in The Messiah (Jer. 31:31-34; Mt. 10:5-7; Lu. 1:77; 2:32; 22:20; John 1:49-52; Gal. 3:13; Heb. 8:8-13; 9:17).

     There are dozens more such "Marks of Identity" supported by several hundred Biblical references to distinguish YHVH's true Chosen People, not to mention the westward 'March of the Caucasians' into Europe from the Caucasus Mountain area, a place established by Historical record and Archaeological facts as the place where the Assyrians displaced the Biblical Israelites after their Captivity began in 745 B.C. (2. Ki.17:21-41)!  Yet one particular 'mark' stands out above all others.  In YHVH's Covenant with Sarah, He promised Abraham, "It is through Isaac that your descendants will be called" (Ge.21:12).  Thus not only through Isaac was the racial line descended FROM the first Adam, but also TO the 'Second Adam', Jesus The Anointed One (Mt. 1:1-17; Lu. 3:21-38).  In addition, the racial group fulfilling all the promises and meeting all the "Marks of Identity", are indeed called by Isaac's name to this day and beyond!

     As long as the Israelites were obedient to all of YHVH's Laws, they were allowed to remain in Palestine and be called "Israelites", after their father Jacob / Israel.  Yet once divorced by YHVH, they forever lost Palestine as their homeland, went into Captivity, broke from their Captivity, marched westward into Europe, and finally these descendants of all 13 tribes re-gathered in one place again...here in America and Canada!  YHVH said that they would lose their national identity and no longer be called after their father's name "Israel".  In fact they would have a new name and be called by the name of their grandfather, "Isaac" (Ge. 21:12; Is. 62:2; 65:15; Hosea 22:17; Ro. 9:7; Gal. 3:16; Heb. 11:17, 18)!  That's right, the "Israelites" are now called, the "Sons of Isaac", or "Isaac's Sons"!  But wait...in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, as well as Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, etc., the "I" is silent (Strong's #3327 & #2464)...so it's "Saac's Sons" or "Sak's Sons"...yes, that’s right – "The Saxons"!

     So where do the "Jews" fit in?  Read Ezra and Nehemiah to realize that only 49,697 Israelite descendants returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple and wall (Ezra 2:64-67; Neh. 7:66-69).  Also, any Bible atlas will show that "Edom" (or "Idumea" in Latin), was the land of the Edomites which bordered Judea.  The Biblical Record, History, and Archaeology prove that the Edomites occupied all of Judea and Jerusalem after the fall of Jerusalem when the last of the Israelites were taken Captive!  Obadiah, for one, cursed the Edomites for not helping their cousins, the Israelites, but actually assisting both the Assyrians and Babylonians taking Israel & Judah captive! 
    
     At the time of Jesus, Jerusalem and Judea were a racial mixture of Edomites, and others, with the remnant of Israelites, then living in Galilee, and known as "the Galileans".  Thus when the Pharisees (who originated in the Babylonian Captivity; as confirmed by the historian, Josephus, and others), said to Jesus, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone" (or been in captivity, John 8:33);  they were referring to their father, Esua (called "Edom", Ge. 36:1,9,19,31), and identified themselves as "Edomites" and NOT with the Israelites, who were descended from Jacob / Israel, who indeed were once Captives of Egypt, Assyria and Babylon!  One must remember, ONLY the Israelites are YaHoVaH'S "Chosen People"! (Ex. 19:6; Num. 6:22-27; Acts 11:26; Rev. 3:12).

     Many books are available that confirm the racial identity of those claiming to be present-day 'Jews', none better perhaps than THE THIRTEENTH TRIBE, by Arthur Koestler (Random House), himself a 'Jew'!  Koestler documents the composition of the present-day political state of the Israelis as being made up of:  Ashkenazi, Khazars, Edomites, Canaanites and a remnant of Sephardim from Spain.  The Khazars & Ashkenazi trace their descent from Japheth (Ge. 10:2-5), Canaanites from Ham (Ge. 10:6-20), while Abraham's descendants are "Shemites" from Shem (Ge. 10:21-32; Lu. 3:23-38).  Incidentally, Abraham had six more sons from his second wife, Keturah, from which the Persian / Iranians / Iraqi are descended (Ge. 25:1-4) – they too are half-brothers!

     So from both Scripture and history, we know the Edomites have forever been the bitter enemy of the Israelites.  And the "Yoke of Edom" has always been the Laws of YHVH imposed upon them by the Israelites in times past (Ge. 27:39,40), as the "Christian Laws" against "usury/interest" have been upon those calling themselves "Jews" in recent history.  Yet whenever the "Israelites" in times past, or "Saac's Sons" now, have forsaken YHVH's Laws, the “Yoke of Edom” has been 'thrown off their necks' and placed YHVH's people in bondage and servitude through the shackles of "usury / interest" (Lev. 26 = De. 28)...as now!  Ever since Esau wept and begged his father, Isaac, to bless him as Isaac had blessed Esau's brother, Jacob (Ge. 27:38-40; Heb. 12:16,17), the Edomites have tried to steal back the lost 'birthright of Palestine', which was despised by Esau and sold to Jacob for a bowl of red-porridge (Ge. 25:29-34)!  Thus the Edomites, albeit ‘cousins’, were the age-long enemies of YHVH's Chosen People, for YaHoVaH has made war from "generation to generation" (Ge. 36:12; Ex. 17:8-16)!  No wonder those called, "Ayrans", and those calling themselves "Jews" have never tolerated each other...'tis been the Will of YHVH!    

     But history, via the Book of Maccabees, tells us that the ‘Galileans’ ruled over the Edomites, after returning from the 70 year Captivity in Babylon to rebuild the wall & temple in Jerusalem, only to be overthrown about 130 years before Jesus walked in Palestine.  And Josephus tells us that the Romans burned and sacked Jerusalem in 70 A.D./C.E. and destroyed the Edomites self-rule reducing them to Roman vassals.  And in 135 A.D./C.E. the Romans utterly annihilated the Edomites with only a remnant escaping to Constantinople where they met the Khazar-Ashkenazi who fully adopted the ‘Babylonian Talmud’ and the traditions of the Edomites.  All this is explained in full in the “Jewish Encyclopedia” under ‘Khazar’, ‘Jew’, ‘Talmud’, etc., etc.  No wonder the Apostle John reported in Revelations 2:9 & 3:9 about “the slander of those who say they are Judeans and are not, but are a synagogue of deception”.   As any concordance will show, the English word, ‘jew’, is a slang term for “Judean, Judahite, of the Tribe of Judah’, etc. and first came about in 1611 via Tyndale’s English Bible translation.  And since the modern ‘Israeli’ is a descendent of Khazaria that adopted ‘Talmudism’; and not genetically of the ‘Tribe of Judah’ – the current Israeli has no rightful claim to a single stone in Palestine – unless ‘tradition’ speaks more than ‘racial identity’!

     In conclusion, the so-called Judeo-Fundamentalists should re-read their Bibles, preferably not the King James Version (KJV) with its 70,000 mistakes, and realize there is nothing in the New Testament that cannot be found in the Old Testament!  YaHoVaH cannot lie, His Word is "the same yesterday, today and forever"!  It's time the Judeo-Fundamentalists threw out their erroneous 'Scofield Notes', along with their theory of 'Dispensationalism', and instead recognize the whole Word of YHVH, the Covenants, and the whole Counsel of YHVH (i.e., the Gifts of Salvation, Healing and YHVH's Holy Spirit);  and preach what John The Baptist, Jesus, the Apostles, the early Church Fathers, the Reformers, the Pilgrims, and in this age, the so-called "Identity Christians"... that the Kingdom of YHVH is The Laws, Judgments & Statutes...and Jesus The Messiah is King (Acts 17:6, 7; 24:13 - 15:25; Eph. 3:10-12)!

     The land of Palestine now belongs to the Arabs, as promised to Ishmael.  Those calling themselves 'Jews' have no claim to that land either scripturally or racially!  The recent public call for a new political state to be formed called, Edom, as a "homeland for the Palestinian refugees", as proposed by the Zionist Organization of America, Dr. Carl McIntire, and who knows who else...is a further violation of YHVH's Holy Word and Commands!  (See Jer. 49:7-22; Ezek. 25:12-14; Joel 3:19; Obad. v.10).

     In Ge. 25:30, Esau said to Jacob, "'Feed me now that red porridge, for I am exhausted', therefore they called his name 'Red Soup'." (Ferrar Fenton translation).  The footnote states, "Edom".  Ironically those politically active Khazar / Edomites, who call themselves "Jews", and attempt to impose the political and social manifestations of 'Babylonian Talmudism' upon society, are called "Reds" to this day!  And as YHVH indicated, and as History (i.e., His-Story) has confirmed, they are a thorn in the side of the real "Israelites", when Isaac's Sons are in apostasy!  The New American Standard Version has the same translation, in the above reference, as do most English versions.

     The proper and just solution would be to return the Palestinian refugees to their homeland, end their displacement, and find a "homeland for the Jews" (i.e., those calling themselves "Jews / Hebrews / Israelis / Judeans", but are not)!  Perhaps the final solution to these 'Usurpers', is the recommendation not long ago of the Island of Madagascar to end their 'wanderings'!  Think of the billions of dollars, each year, America could then use for our own farmers, unemployed, homeless, and infrastructure, etc.!  The amount given to the ‘Israelis’ each year would buy a $100K house for every homeless American, a $100K tractor for every farmer – and still have plenty to repair our road, bridges, and infrastructure!

     At any rate, this Bible student calls upon his former college professor to "come out and be ye separate" from these "Jewish Usurpers", Freemasons, 'Scofield Cultists', and any other of their 'ilk', still in his company, and truly return to the "Faith of Our Fathers...the Historic Christian Faith"!  Does not Hosea (1:10, 11) tell us plainly enough?  Since "we are known as Christians", then why not also by the "new name" of Abraham's son, Isaac (i.e., "Saxons" and kindred peoples)?  Is this not confirmed by the Apostle Paul in Romans 9, particularly verses 6-9, and elsewhere?

     To the Glory of Our Master and Redeemer, Jesus The Anointed One, The Messiah, The Redeemer, I remain...

The above "Open Letter" was published in pamphlet form in the Fall of 1988, and in the September 1988 issue of CHRISTIAN VANGUARD, a former publication of the New Christian Crusade Church, Metairie, Louisiana.

[NOTE 1:  Any 'Judeo-Fundamentalist / Evangelical' minister, student, college, church, or association, etc., that would wish a public discussion or debate on this or other misunderstood issues (i.e., a Secret Rapture; Law vs. Grace;  Dispensationalism;  an "individual called anti-Christ";  an Eternal Hell;  the Davidic Throne;  the Marks of Identity;  the Doctrines concerning “Devils & Demons";  or any other doctrines or beliefs whatever);  kindly step forward and accept the challenge, any place, any where!  Come, let us reason together and learn what "Thus saith YaHoVaH Our Creator" on these matters!]

[NOTE 2:  Throughout the original Biblical texts, the personal Name of Our Creator appears over 10,000 times as YHVH, which is pronounced in Hebrew as YaHweH, in English as YaHoVaH, in French as YaHVaH, and in German as YaHüVaH. Throughout these Notes, YHVH or YaHoVaH is used for clarification.  The meaning of YaH = The Ever-coming; HoV = The Ever-present; and VaH = The Eternal Past.

In some English language Old Testament translations, ‘God’ = ‘Elohiym’ = YHVH; or ‘God’ = Creator as in “The Lord God Almighty” = YaHoVaH the Creator Almighty.  In the KJV “The LORD” = YHVH.  In the New Testament, ‘God’ = YHVH and “the Lord” = Master as in “The Lord Jesus Christ” = The Master Jesus the Messiah / Anointed One / Redeemer.] 

The problem that arises with the translators & translations using the word ‘God’, is that the word ‘God ’ is the name of a Babylonian deity that means ‘Fortune’, thus the slogan, ‘In God We Trust’ in Babylon would mean ‘In Fortune We Trust’, meaning ‘In Our Money We Trust’!  Hence the importance of using the REAL HOLY NAME OF OUR CREATOR, as we should always do in our prayers and our religious services accordingly.  A similar problem arises whenever we use the names of ‘Adonay’ or ‘Adonai’ or ‘El’ or ‘Elohim’ since they were the same names of Canaanite deities!  And then some folks wonder why their prayers are not being answered!

[NOTE 3:  Dr. Carl McIntire lived to be 96 year of age at the time of his death – another 15 years after this pamphlet was written for and about him.  In private he acknowledged the correctness of this pamphlet, while never acknowledging the contents in public for fear of his enemies.  Yet when all was said and done, I still consider him to have been a very Great Man in his own right during his time on this earth!]
