But when the bad govern, men groan!’ – Proverbs 29:2

THE WORLD IS CHANGING
… & then some!

In the next six-weeks or so, after 01 January 2015, a whole new government will take over in Washington, D.C., as well as in many States and Counties as a direct & proximate result of the recent 2014 Mid-Term elections.  In a vast majority of cases, that new government will be comprised of ‘Radical Republicans’ who were bought and paid for by Billionaires such as the Koch Brothers of Kansas who bought the votes of ALL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS at the cost of $4.5-BILLION, so the Koch Brothers now have a majority of votes for their programs, and the first of which will gain $100-BILLION for each brother as a direct result of the approval of the dirty-tar-sands Keystone XL Pipeline from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico in Texas!  Is this huge and environmentally dangerous pipeline for the benefit of ‘America’ & ‘Americans’?  NOPE!  It’s strictly for the financial benefit of the two BILLIONAIRE BROTHERS since the dirty-tar-sands will be processed for SALE OVERSEAS & not used for any energy purposes here at home!  So much for putting PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE yet again!

“(Newser) – The big news out of Congress today (14 November 2014) is that the House passed a bill to authorize the building of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.  In terms of getting the pipeline built, the vote doesn't mean much, observes the New York Times.  But in terms of the Senate runoff in Louisiana, it looms large.  The House measure approved today (as expected) was sponsored by Republican Bill Cassidy, who faces Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu in that Dec. 6 runoff, reports the Washington Post.  Both favor the pipeline and are trying to impress the voters back home.  Landrieu's test comes Tuesday, when the Senate votes. 

If she can get 60 votes to avoid a filibuster, the measure goes straight to President Obama's desk.  As of now, it's uncertain whether she'll succeed, and even if she does, President Obama seems all but certain to veto it, reports Politico.  The Hill agrees, citing Obama's "strong signals" that he wants to wait for a federal review to be completed.  It adds that a veto "could deal a blow to Landrieu's chances in the runoff."  For the record, the House vote was 252-161, with 31 Democrats joining Republicans.  Every Republican voted in favor, except for libertarian-leaning Justin Amash of Michigan.”


Back in 1968 a courageous candidate for president, the late Alabama Governor George C. Wallace, continually warned all Americans that there wasn’t a ‘DIME’S WORTH OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN’ when it came to serving BIG BUSINESS – and now we see his prophetic-words coming to pass right before our eyes!  Who in America actually thought that one corporation, or one set-of-Billionaires could actually CONTROL CONGRESS for their own selfish special interests?  Yet this is exactly what Our Founding Fathers feared when private-banks using USURY-INTEREST were permitted to co-exist along with the INTEREST-FREE United States Treasury Banking System.  Alexander Hamilton was the private-banking-agent for the Rothschild Bank of England, and when the 20-year private-banking charter expired in 1812, Thomas Jefferson refused to sign legislation to renew the Rothschild Bank of England’s second charter – and PRESTO!  The ‘WAR OF 1812’ began as soon as British warships arrived, then burned & sacked Washington, D.C., and burnt the White House to the ground!

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.  The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”  — Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802) 3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

Because the Brits raided up & down the Atlantic Coast, in 1816 Congress & Jefferson were forced to renew the Rothschild Bank of England private-bank-charter for another 20-years here in America!  But in 1836, its 20-year charter needed to be renewed yet again, but this time Andrew Jackson so hated the wretched-private-banking charter that he refused to renew it!   This resulted in no less than three attempts on his life, but the private-banking-charter was NOT RENEWED.  In its place, instead of one private-central-bank, a host of surrogates sprang up as mercantile-banks, cattleman’s-associations banks, and other ‘commodity-banks’, etc.  Then six-private-Boston-banks financed John Brown’s Raid on the Yankee-Armory at Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia – that signaled the beginning of the War Between the States, or more accurately, the ‘War for State’s Rights’!  The private banks in Boston did NOT want to see the Southern States establish their own cotton-mills near Vicksburg, Mississippi, instead of shipping their cotton to New England – AND THAT’S WHAT STARTED THE WAR FOR STATE’S RIGHTS – NOT SLAVERY – the South fought for ECONOMIC FREEDOM!  It wasn’t until two-years into the War of Northern Aggression, with the Confederate Armies winning most engagements, that Abe Lincoln then issued his ‘Proclamation of Emancipation’ that ended slavery under the pretext of sending all Afrikan-slaves back to Afrika and thus depriving the Confederate States of its major workforce.

And rather than borrow $400-MILLION from the Rothschild Bank of England @ 24% USURY / INTEREST – Lincoln’s Secretary of the Treasury instead issued the $400-MILLION from the U.S. Treasury Banking System – INTEREST-FREE –  and those funds were used to hire 75,000 Yankee-mercenaries to occupy Washington, D.C., to keep all Southern Congressmen under house arrest & to keep the Confederate States of America from breaking away from the Union.  Those $400-MILLION were known as ‘Lincoln Greenbacks’ and remained in circulation – INTEREST / USURY-FREE until 1963 when taken out of circulation by Lyndon Baines Johnson, as his first Executive Order, the day after the assassination of John F. Kennedy! 

Because Lincoln circumvented the usury of the private-banks – and used usury-free U.S. Notes, he was assassinated – and the same thing occurred to John F. Kennedy when he issued via Executive Order the printing of 2.5 billion, interest / usury-Free, U.S. Notes as $2-bills to buy back the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) from the Rothschild Bank of England according to the FRB Charter!  Kennedy wanted to RESTORE THE U.S. TREASURY BANKING SYSTEM and put an end to the interest / usury charged by private-banks!  Kennedy even quietly established the U.S. Army Special Forces to be LOYAL TO HIM & TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE by nationalizing the private-banks and turning them into local branch offices of the U.S. Treasury!   But he was killed before he could continue his plans to FREE AMERICA FROM DEBT – and the first Executive Order from Lyndon B. Johnson RESCINDED BOTH the LINCOLN-GREENBACKS (also called ‘Silver Certificates’) & the Kennedy $2-BILLS!  Now our National Debt exceeds $18-TRILLON to the same Rothschild Bank of England – so while America still may appear to have its political-independence – it is still ECONOMICALLY ENSLAVED as if ‘indentured-servants’ on an English Plantation!

Under the regime of Ronald Reagan, he TRIPLED the National Debt that began in 1776 in just 8-years!  Then along came G.H.W. Bush and his First Gulf War against Iraq doubled the Reagan debts, and then along came the G.W. Bush regime that began a whole series of WARS against Mid-East Nations that tripled the war-debts of even his father!  Now after more than THREE-DECADES OF SOLID WARS we hear rumblings from the same Republican Party that BROUGHT US THESE WARS how they want to ‘balance-the-budget’ in the coming years – BUT AT WHAT PRICE?  The plan of the ‘Radical Republicans’ is to CUT-BACK & CUTOFF the funding of all the programs designed to help those of low-income – while establishing more EXEMPTIONS for the wealthiest who financially backed the Republican Party and its candidates in their individual & joint political campaigns!  IT’S NATIONAL SUICIDE…& then some!

For those that might not know it – or have even heard about it – American now meets, point for point, the 100 Marks of Identity to show that AMERICA = the MYSTERY BABYLON of Biblical Prophecy; and does so to the same extent that ISIS = the restored ASSYRIA of Biblical Prophecy!  The current territory that the new government of the ‘Islamic State of Iraq & Syria’ (ISIS) also called the ‘Islamic State of Iraq & The Levant’ (ISIL), whereby The Levant is the exact location of the Biblical Assyrian Empire and the exact location of the prophesied restoration of the Assyrian Empire!  Yet the ignorance (i.e., lack-of-knowledge) of these things may cost the lives of yet untold numbers of American Youth who may be called upon to put on uniforms and engage in military action against ISIS – to their detriment!

As a direct & proximate result, the editorial staff of THE POCAHONTAS CRIER is going to post several Biblical Outline Notes in the hope that those literate enough, intelligent enough, and honest enough to ‘prove all things’ and always be ready to give a ‘reason for the hope within’ can learn & be better prepared for the ‘days of tribulation’ that lie just ahead should the ‘Radical Republicans’ coming into power in another month or so take us into another DEPRESSION as they did in 1929 – all because they have lost THEIR IDENTITY and forsaken their historic roots! 

And while many like to say, ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ – just how many really know the REAL, Holy, and Personal Name of Our Creator – and that Our Creator’s real Name IS NOT ‘GOD’ compared to the fact that the word ‘God’ is really the name of a pagan BABYLONIAN DEITY that means ‘FORTUNE’?  So can we really say, ‘In FORTUNE we Trust’, or ‘In CAPITALISM we Trust’ – which is what it literally means nowadays!  Does anyone really believe that the Hand of Our Creator’s Blessings is still upon us – while we as a people have REMOVED HIS HOLY NAME from public view?  We shall all know soon enough…especially when folks start screaming, “BABYLON HAS FALLEN!  BABYLON HAS FALLEN!”  We can only wonder at this point IF such statements will come before or after the tap-water from our sinks EXPLODES INTO FLAMES from the poisonous-chemicals from ‘FRACKING’!  Truly America has turned to TRUST IN PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE!  We’ve learned to place MONEY before HONOR!  So indeed…

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

HI, HO, HI, HO – IT’S OFF TO WAR WE GO…yet again!



11 NOVEMBER 2014, Vol.1, No.77 > HI, HO, HI, HO – IT’S OFF TO WAR WE GO…yet again!

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]


HI HO, HI HO – IT’S OFF TO WAR WE GO…yet again!


It’s SHAMEFUL that on this VETERANS’ DAY we’ve already seen on the news – less than a week after the 2014 Mid-Term elections – the ruling regime & the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) are about to ESCALATE more troops into a NEW WAR until the U.S. Military is again engaged in COMBAT ON THE GROUND – this time against a newly emerging country called, ‘THE ISLAMIC STATE of IRAQ & SYRIA’ (ISIS) and/or also called ‘The Islamic State of Iraq & the Levant’ (ISIL)!  One would think that after almost three-decades of one WAR after another we might have learned something in the face of – at least ONE VETERAN COMMITTING SUICIDE EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS – and that’s just the statistics from 36 states!  If all 50 states reported the DAILY DEATH TOLL it’s estimated that upwards to TWO PER / HOUR would be killing themselves!  WHY?  Because almost TWO-MILLION former & current military personnel have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and cannot receive any help or medical assistance from the Department of Defense (DOD) or from the VETERANS HOSPITALS because of LACK OF FUNDING – and as a direct & proximate result, CANNOT GET A JOB!  WHY?  Because the ‘Radical Republicans’ in Congress have cut-the-budget and cutoff the funding of such programs to help Veterans SINCE THE WAR(s) for OIL COME FIRST!  It’s a nightmare for the wounded-Veterans, and it’s a national disgrace & judgment upon this once Land of the Free, Home of the Brave!

The new ‘Radical Republicans’ coming into full-control of the government starting 01 January 2015 – might as well adopt the  party-slogans of the ruling-regime in the 1949 classic book by George Orwell, aka, Eric Blair, entitled “1984”!

WAR IS PEACE!

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY!

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!

Under the current circumstances, we can then fully appreciate the new totalitarianism, aka, ‘Corporate Fascism’!  According to ‘Radical Republicans’ like John ‘Insane’ McCain (AZ), Lindsey Graham (SC), and the other Warmongers in Congress – WAR means PROFITS…&…PROFITS means JOBS!  And in less than a week, the ruling-regime of the ‘BLACK-BUSH’ has already DOUBLED the number of troops to fight the Sunnis that have carved out a new country, called, ‘THE ISLAMIC STATE of IRAQ & SYRIA’ (ISIS) and/or also called ‘The Islamic State of Iraq & the Levant’ (ISIL)!  Since the USA supported the Shia to topple the late Saddam Hussein, a Sunni, and since the Shia used the weapons provided by the USA to attack, maim & kill Sunnis – the Sunni followed the political, military, civil & social leadership of the former Ba’ath Political Party and declared the establishment of ISIS!  Comprised of former Iraq Republican Guard, so far ISIS has defeated everything in its path to establish a safe-homeland for its people – and that has included taking over 8 former USA military bases in Iraq and capturing all the weapons & military equipment in tact, as well as capturing several Syrian military bases including air-bases with jet fighter planes in tact.  And to top it off, ISIS is growing by leaps & bounds via the influx of tens-of-thousands of new, young fighters from all around the world and is growing into a formidable military force soon to exceed 100,000 motivated and here-to-date undefeated fighters!  Yet, believe it or not, according to Joe Bidden & the USA Joint Military Command, ISIS is NOT a THREAT to the USA or any of our ‘allies’but since ISIS has control of several Oil Fields – well Mr. ‘BLACK-BUSH’ and his big oil cartels & the MIC want to again place American-Youth in harms-way!  IT’S OIL & PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE yet again!

What’s the difference between Shia and Sunni, well here’s a summary comparison from the Internet found at
Islam has two main branches: the Shia and the Sunni.  This split in the religion comes down to a political and spiritual difference of opinion about who should have succeeded Muhammad after his death in 632 CE.  Major tenets and beliefs are often similar between the two branches, but some important differences exist. Tensions and conflicts between Shias and Sunnis are very similar to those that have at times existed between Catholics and Protestants.

If it were not for the oil fields currently under Sunni / ISIS control, the USA and Britain would care less about them – just as you see by them taking NO INTEREST in the Central African disputes and that of the Boko Horam in Nigeria and their kidnapping of Brethren / Mennonite-school-girls to become the ‘wives’ of the soldiers for the Boko Horam!  Unlike ISIS which has implemented a complete governmental infrastructure at all levels of their societythe Nigerian Boko Haram are just marauders that simply ‘rape, pillage & plunder’ wherever they go howbeit starting out against the foreign oil companies ripping off  the Nigerian people!  Since they are no longer attacking oil refineries – they pose ‘no threat’ to American interests!  SUCH IS THE HYPOCRISY IN WASHINGTON & LONDON!    

The political-reality inside the ‘Beltway’ come January 2015 until January 2017 is that the radical-agenda of the ‘Radical Republicans’ will be one of AUSTERITY in which they will try to cutoff funding to many programs designed to assist persons of low-income and those designed to slowdown the shrinking Middle-Class – BUT THEY DO NOT have enough votes to override any VETO from the ‘BLACK-BUSH’ – and therefore their influence will be limited and most likely lead to even GREATER DISFAVOR by the American Voter in 2016 – and that means that perhaps candidates will step forth that will demand:

1.     Canceling all Student Loan Debts;
2.    Canceling our National Debt, nationalize all banks, abolish the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and RESTORE THE U.S. TREASURY BANKING SYSTEM and issue an Honest Money Supply;
3.    Cancel all foreign-aid to warmongers & warring sects like the Israelis & demand an end to Israeli-Occupation of Palestine & recognize Palestine as a new nation;
4.    Cancel all permits to drill-for-oil in environmentally sensitive areas like the Artic Circle or off our national coasts;
5.    Restore all environmental protections for the health & safety of all Citizens;
6.    Stop the Wars & spend those funds domestically rebuilding the national infrastructure;
7.    Restore a Balance to the American Educational system; and,
8.   Cut back on military spending, return all troops, and stop interference in foreign entanglements!

SO FAR NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS appears poised to RESTORE AMERICA TO A SEMBLENCE OF SANITY!

Senator Sanders might run for president!  So too may Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren!  Either choice will restore SOCIAL JUSTICE to America in the hopes that we as a people can be saved from descending into a real CIVIL WAR between political & sectarian beliefs & factions!  IF HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF – then the moment that anyone declares ‘MARTIAL LAW’ – that will be the moment that everyone wearing a uniform or working in a government building will become a TARGET since a declaration of ‘Martial Law’ means that the government has taken up arms against its own people and that THE PEOPLE have a Right to Defend their BILL OF RIGHTS!  IF America REAPS WHAT IT HAS SOWN – then it could get very ugly in a very short time and last for a long time!

You always hear & see folks saying & displaying signs saying, “God Bless America” – but WHAT IF –
“GOD JUDGES AMERICA”?  What then?

Perhaps this is what is meant by the Prophet Hosea, Chapter 4, Verses 1 – 9, as follows:

“1.  Hear the word of YaHoVaH, you Israelites, because YaHoVaH has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of YaHoVaH in the land.
 2.  There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
 3.  Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the fish of the sea are dying.
 4.  "But let no man bring a charge, let no man accuse another, for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.
 5.  You stumble day and night, and the prophets stumble with you.  So I will destroy your mother--
 6.  my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.  "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your Creator, I also will ignore your children.
 7.  The more the priests increased, the more they transgressed against me; they exchanged their Glory for something disgraceful.
 8.  They feed on the transgressions of my people and relish their wickedness.
 9.  And it will be: Like people, like priests.  I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.”  (NIV with Holy Name restored)

STUPID DOES AS STUPID IS!



07 NOVEMBER 2014, Vol.1, No.76 > STUPID DOES AS STUPID IS!

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]


STUPID DOES AS STUPID IS!

Since Pocahontas County is a simple ‘microcosm’ of the national ‘macrocosm’ – it is no surprise that this county followed the national trend a few days ago in the 2014 Midterm election of removing senior ‘Democrats’ from public office in favor of freshman ‘Radical Republicans’ – for the first time since the end of the War of Northern Aggression, aka, War between the States in 1864!  Not since the so-called ‘Reconstruction Era’ and occupation of the Confederate States of America (CSA) when swarms of self-serving ‘carpetbaggers & scalawags’ invaded the Southern States have so many ‘radicals’, i.e., those favoring extreme change, entered into control of government at the same time!  And since it’s a known fact that ‘History’ repeats itself – confirmed by King Solomon declaring that, ‘there’s nothing new under the sun’ – then mark 04 November 2014 as the day that America begins the long-awaited ‘period of tribulation’!  In short, all of America will now have ‘hell-to-pay for all our national-transgressions of the past seven-decades…& then some’! 

And while the CSA had totalitarianism forced upon them in defeat – this time Americans have VOTED TO IMPOSE totalitarianism upon themselves – just as predicted by several former communist leaders of the Soviet Union when they stated that, ‘Capitalists will sell the very rope to make a profit that will be used to hang them in the end!’  And is not the corporate-media already telling us that the ‘Radical Republicans’ want

● To build the deadly Keystone XL Pipeline to bring dirty-tar-sands-pollution from Alberta, Canada, to the Texas Gulf Coast endangering everyone & everything in its path – but making $100-BILLION EACH for the Billionaire Kansas Koch Brothers who just bought every Radical-Republican in Congress;

● To end all EPA regulations so the oil, gas & coal multi-national corporations can INCREASE THEIR PROFITS at the expense of all of our individual & collective health;

● To end SS, SSD, Medicare, Medicaid, and PRIVATIZE all heretofore Social Safety Nets put in place over the last 150 years by Organized Labor Unions on behalf of the now extinct Middle-Class;

● To put ‘boots-on-the-ground’ to fight more WARS to keep the war-economy going, unemployment down, and more profits for ‘American Defense Contractor corporations’;

● To PRIVATIZE all public-lands & parks, public-schools, community hospitals, prisons, and Natural & National Resources;

 ● To again PRIVATIZE all health-care so private-insurance companies can take 30% or more at all levels of health care costs instead of providing Universal Health Care for everyone as in Congress, Europe, and around the world;

● To permit GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMOs) to be put into all of our foods WITHOUT LABELS as to what ‘organisms’ are in our food supply;

● To continue to DENY GLOBAL WARMING so Profits come before People as summers grow hotter, fires burn longer, rains that flood but do not grow crops and, ocean sea levels continue to rise, etc.; and,

● The list goes on & on as the ‘Radical Republicans’ want to turn over our entire political, economic & social system into ‘CORPORATE FASCISM’!  This is what happens when ‘money talks and everything else walks’!  NO WONDER THE EUROPEANS PUBLICLY-FUND THEIR ELECTIONS AND FORBID PRIVATE OR CORPORATE FUNDING TO INFLUENCE THEIR ELECTIONS!  Apparently the Europeans are NOT STUPID…like Americans!

Why would we or anyone else say such a thing?  Well just look around and try to hold onto a ‘clear-thought’ for even a few moments of time – AND REMEMBER?  For anyone educated enough to have read & understood the WARNINGabout the future of human freedom in a world where political organization and technology can manufacture power in dimensions that would have stunned the imagination of earlier ages – within the classic 1949 book by George Orwell, titled, “1984”, then you may recollect, recall, and actually ‘remember’ that ‘PROPAGANDA’ was used to continually change the thinking of the general public every time the ruling-regime wanted to change policies and create new wars!  The three-famous party-slogans used were: 

WAR IS PEACE!

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY!

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!

Now can anyone say that it ain’t really so here in America – only that it’s now 2014 instead of 1984!  And look at the slogans – aren’t they TRUE when an honest analysis is made of the recent midterm-election results?  Based upon the ‘propaganda’ received everyday in the mail, and via TV & Internet ADS & telephone calls – the ‘Radical Republicans’ tried to BLAME EVERYTHING WRONG upon Obama & the Democrats when in fact EVERYTHING WRONG ACTUALLY BEGAN WITH RONALD REAGAN and his systematic attack against Organized Labor Unions and the Middle-Class of America – and even a decade or so before that when the banks started their 30-year-mortgages via USURY / INTEREST when the Viet Nam War began right after they killed John F. Kennedy!    

As far as the slogan, ‘WAR IS PEACE!’ – have we not been told CONTINUALLY SINCE Viet Nam that by engaging in ‘WAR’ overseas that we can have ‘PEACE’ here at home?  Is that not what we have been told by the ‘Radical Republicans’ ever since George H.W. Bush started bombing Iraq at 3 AM in the morning while the nation was asleep!  That was four-hours earlier than the Japanese at Pearl Harbor!  And what does continuous war mean except CONTINUOUS PROFITEERING by the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) and now the Homeland Security Industrial Complex (HSIC) so that WAR = PROFITS = JOBS!

As far as the slogan, ‘FREEDOM IS SLAVERY!’ – are we not being told that INCREASED SURVEILLANCE = LESS CIVIL RIGHTS to allegedly protect our freedoms?  And now don’t we have the domestic police forces wanting to also fly DRONES to spy on whomever they choose under the pretext of ‘defending our freedoms’ while every surveillance-camera actually invades our individual & collective CIVIL RIGHTS?  Don’t the ruling-regimes now actually want to DISARM private-Citizens and keep us all contained via CONTINUOUS SURVEILLANCE by knowing every phone call, every text-message, every Email and our every movement outside our homes via CarJack and other surveillance devices?  Is not ‘totalitarianism’ ALREADY HERE?

And as for the slogan, ‘IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!’ – are we not witnessing stupidity on the part of public-officials via their speeches, actions and policies that are directly affecting all of us in a detrimental manner?  Are we not being continuously told to just accept whatever the ruling-regime does to us since it’s for our own good?  No one can listen to Fox-News or Newsmax or CNN or any of the other corporately-owned Media for as little as 15 minutes without the message of ACCEPT WHAT WE SAY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!  And don’t you hear family members, friends & neighbors nowadays tell each other that THEY WOULD RATHER NOT KNOW what’s really going on since it’s too upsetting?  Is that not the reason why those voting represent only about 40% or less of those eligible to vote?

Currently there are about four or five media conglomerates that all tell us the same thing so we all react as ROBOTS – yet the ‘Propaganda’ is always the same!  At one time there were over 50 different competing news outlets & news services reporting in this country – at a time when we were not as stupid!  But just who ‘owns-the-media’?  Well, surprise, surprise!  The ‘corporate-media’ is owned by the ‘MIC’ – the Defense Contractors – that’s why the corporate-media is constantly PROMOTING WAR & that’s why every news-program trots out some ‘retired’ general, colonel, captain or whatever to give his ‘two-cents’ worth of propaganda as to just WHY WE NEED ANOTHER WAR!  The MIC has defense contractors in every Congressional District in America and whenever any Senator or Congressman threatens to vote against any new funding for war or the military’s high budget INCREASES – the MIC simply threatens to close down their munitions or electronics industry in any given congressional district – and ‘Walla’, the Senator & Congressmen all get in line!  And now the entire damn-government is under the control of ‘Corporate-Fascism’ come 01 January 2015!  SO AMERICANS – REAP WHAT YOU HAVE SOWN & then some!

Rather than face the facts – what’s the usual escape for most folks?  Is it not running to a religious cloister on weekends to be told that, ‘Jesus loves you JUST AS YOU ARE’?  Or is it belonging to a ‘secret-society’ and believing upon death that you’ll rule some unknown planet and live like an Egyptian-Pharaoh forever?  Or isn’t it in the case of Mormons going off to live on the planet KOLOB to become either a ‘god or goddess’?  These fantasies are among the many ways that Americans try in order to be a part of something greater than themselves…OR…to escape the political, economic & social realities of a failing society these days – that WILL ONLY GET WORSE before any sign of real change again comes about!  History is repeating itself!

A hundred years ago – since both communism & capitalism are opposite sides of the same totalitarian coin – Germany rejected both and established National Socialism, meaning Love of One’s Country & Love of One’s People, and forbid private ownership of National & Natural Resources by any individual, family, corporation or cartel, etc., since Natural Resources are the sovereign property of the People.  They also forbid the taking of any home or farm by foreclosure, and they established ‘social credit’ whereby corporations had to systematically LOWER prices as corporate-profits increased.  For example, for every 1% that interest/usury rates increase, over 250,000 people are knocked out of the market in any given area from making a purchase whether it be for a toaster or an automobile; and by the same token in reverse, every time interest/usury rates are lowered, then 250,000 people in any given area can then afford to make a purchase!  The same principle applies for establishing a LIVING WAGE instead of the poverty-MINIMUM WAGE!   

That’s why the Biblical Economic Standard demands a FIXED-STANDARD-OF-MEASUREMENT and not the fluctuating rates by which the value of money changes twice daily by the Rothschild Bank of England & its domestic branch office, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and its interest/usury-bearing Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) instead of interest/usury-FREE U.S. Notes from a U.S. Treasury Bank as both Abe Lincoln & John F. Kennedy issued just before they were both assassinated!

But here is a prime example of the Biblical WARNING of reaping what is sown:

1 Samuel 8 (NIV)

 1.  When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges for Israel.
 2.  The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and they served at Beersheba.
 3.  But his sons did not walk in his ways.  They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.
 4.  So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.
 5.  They said to him, "You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have."
 6.  But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to YaHoVaH.
 7.  And YaHoVaH told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.
 8.  As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other deities, so they are doing to you.
 9.  Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."
 10.  Samuel told all the words of YaHoVaH to the people who were asking him for a king.
 11.  He said, "This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.
 12.  Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
 13.  He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.
 14.  He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.
 15.  He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.
 16.  Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use.
 17.  He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.
 18.  When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and YaHoVaH will not answer you in that day."
 19.  But the people refused to listen to Samuel.  "No!" they said. "We want a king over us.
 20.  Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles."
 21.  When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before YaHoVaH.
 22.  YaHoVaH answered, "Listen to them and give them a king."   Then Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Everyone go back to his town."”

Now read the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and you will see the same tyranny of King George III against Our Founding Fathers.  But the ENTIRETY of the Biblical Old-Testament presentation is simply an example of ‘CAUSE & EFFECT’ what we SOW, WE REAP – it’s that simple as shown by Job 4:8, “As I have observed, those who sow wickedness and those who sow trouble – REAP IT!”  Does any sane person really believe that once the toxic-poisonous-chemicals used in ‘Fracking’ destroys the underground water resources, can plants, animals, fish & mankind continue to drink the water?      

Perhaps the Prophet Micah in Chapter 6 sums it up the best:

“8.  He has showed you, O man, what is good.  And what does YaHoVaH require of you?  To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your Creator.
 9.  Listen! YaHoVaH is calling to the city -- and to fear your name is wisdom -- "Heed the rod and the One who appointed it. 
 10.  Am I still to forget, O wicked house, your ill-gotten treasures and the short ephah,  which is accursed?
 11.  Shall I acquit a man with dishonest scales, with a bag of false weights?
 12.  Her rich men are violent; her people are liars and their tongues speak deceitfully.
 13.  Therefore, I have begun to destroy you, to ruin you because of your transgressions.
 14.  You will eat but not be satisfied; your stomach will still be empty.  You will store up but save nothing, because what you save I will give to the sword.
 15.  You will plant but not harvest; you will press olives but not use the oil on yourselves, you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.
 16.  You have observed the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab's house, and you have followed their traditions.  Therefore I will give you over to ruin and your people to derision; you will bear the scorn of the nations. "

Since we Reap what we Sow — which has been WAR at every handThe ‘Radical Republicans’ are about to reap upon us the Whirlwind of pauperism & poverty with ‘cut-backs’ on every program originated to help people avoid pauperism & poverty!  How can there ever be a ‘balanced-budget’ when the cost of the WARS keep increasing?  But a majority of Americans actually were stupid enough to believe the ‘propaganda’ and elect the worst ‘radicals’ since the War Between the States!

Well just like someone who violates the Divine Dietary Laws and eats things that are not healthy, or smokes, or consumes an over abundance of alcohol or drugs or sugar, etc., etc. – and then gets ‘CANCER’are they not REAPING WHAT THEY HAVE SOWN?  There is a direct ‘Cause & Effect’ – but not to worry – Cancer cures Stupidity!  And more ‘good-news’, a cursory review of this county shows that within the next decade or less, there will be a whole new generation of people who perhaps will not be as ‘stupid’ as the current generation that has consistently re-elected the same THIEVES, LIARS, & CHARLATANS that have always placed their own selfish-interests before THE COMMON GOOD!  Like it or not – Change is coming!
