Who or What is God?

Is prophesy a divine gift of the uncorrupt in order to give hope to those who feel damned by truths that will eventually unfold, or are they ancient fables constructed and staged by the very villains for whom they seem to be identifying in order to manipulate the masses. Are they mysterious scripts directed by an illuminated few, which if performed to the letter like some kind of recipe book, promise to launch us into a new age of peace and prosperity? Are they ill intended, to cause world pain and hatred so that we might be reborn from the ash like the crashing of the Phoenix? Are there good guys and bad guys, or are they one in the same, that switch their hats depending on what they feel the world needs at the time? Are honesty and honor, qualities that don’t apply to all men? Are good and evil the same entity? Today, I will reveal to you my thoughts on God which are based solely on my own personal experiences of nearly a half century of life and formal education. My thoughts hold no convention in any one discipline, but are a deduction of what I believe to be true in my heart from the hundreds of books, stories, scriptures and images that have washed over my brain through the portals of my thirsty eyes. It is a summary of all the truths littered both in works of fact and fiction that I have witnessed and interpreted from my own research.

I recently watched a DVD called The Secret, which reminded me of a book I had read many years prior called Creative Visualization. Both this DVD and the aforementioned text seem to indicate that there is a Universal Law or galactic intelligence. In my opinion, this Universal Law which is seen by most as a creative force is that and much more. It is a ‘giving force’ that men of all times have known to exist. Good and bad are in the hearts of men and in their intentions and desires. The giving force doesn’t mediate but allows one to ‘act out’ their intentions or desires to the best of their own ability. We manifest our desires as best we can and this fountain of force waits for all who dare simply to ask with conviction be its purpose noble or self serving. So in some ways, Universal Law could be viewed as a source of evil as well as good, when indeed it is actually neutral from the standpoint of granting one’s own desires. One thing is certain and undeniable about Universal Law. The result of one’s wishes upon the force will (without fail) always render the same lesson, moral, outcome or example. That presents a problem for mankind who wishes to try to change parameters in order to be in compliance with the law. Someone once said, “Insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results.” This is where I believe God (be He ominous, immortal, of the spirit, or all three) enters the equation. What men will do, does not impede on God’s agenda in the slightest. It will be what it will be. I believe that the presence of man in the universe is nearly as old as the universe itself. Histories and the wisdom of the ages as recorded by great authors, philosophers, and spiritual men have long logged the successes and failures of the desires and will of great figures and forgotten beings. And sadly, as my famous college professor, Dr. Jesse Rufus Fears once noted, “The lesson that we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history.”

God therefore could be the acceptance notion of Universal Law (or surrender to it), while anything else is deemed as separateness from God. This aspect of God therefore doesn’t judge what you desire, but the outcome as a result of what you ask for or want, so to speak, is already written in stone. You have free will and your life is a time frame in which your will personally sinks, floats or swims. Your Father’s ‘Law’ works much as your parent’s ‘experience’ when they try to counsel you on life, though many times you still do as you will. However, unlike your earthly parents, your Heavenly Father’s counsel is infallible. And, also, unlike your Heavenly Father, your earthly parents will try everything to instill their own will upon you. The Father’s Will is to push onward whether or not you decide to follow or pick-up from the rear at a later date. You will not go it alone unless you desire to do so, and there are literally millions of other souls asking for endless things from a fully charged giving power. This could explain coincidences that seem miraculous at times. Prayer is nothing but ‘asking with sincerity and conviction’ and hoping to be blessed, whether it is an Army asking for victory in battle or a personal plea for a dying loved one. Just remember, in either case you are not the only one asking the granting wishes of the Eternal Outpouring. And, you must wonder what you hope to reap from all you’ve sown. As long as men quench their desires by ignoring or resisting the lessons learned from Universal Law, than they are separating themselves from deity, from light, from the flow and from the beneficial nature of the power that is interpreted as God’s love. This limits man to a life of his flesh instead of his eternal evolving soul. Our woes are mostly an accumulation of various attempts of circumventing that which cannot be circumvented. I must also add that we are always seeking understanding from the applications of nature. There are far less dos and don’ts than there are what works best and what yields least. Many are far too critical of the desires of others and their will to create their own destiny, while those others are many times far too immersed in their own personal indulgences that deceive them from the path of the Law.

Religions seem to be a formulation of the interpretive understanding of Universal Law, and many a good prophet, master, lord, preacher, rabbi or equivalent has done their inspired best to explain that to any that would listen. Unlike Universal Law, religions are open to manipulation by unscrupulous men. To mankind, the Universal Law is treated more like a Universal Theory. It is we whom challenge the Law’s validity and perfection by constantly tilting the pinball machine. In fact, Universal Law is treated much like the imperfect laws of man. Man’s laws are written and carried out, only to be challenged by the constant erosion of interpretation. Ironically, the drive to change man’s law is driven by the desires of men. They are the same desires we cast into the mighty River of Giving in the hope that we might snag our dreams. Somewhere in a chapter of history, whether long forgotten or recorded in our present concept of time and consciousness, what we ‘want’ has been tried infinite times with the same result. God cares not what you dream for, and with the aid of your conviction and the like desires of others around you, you will probably be granted what you seek. Universal Laws aren’t so much dos and don’ts as they are statements of truth. Here’s one that I feel is a good example: If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword. This is not a judgment. This is a true statement that has an endless number of applications but only one interpretation. It is the exact same ‘law’ as: You reap what you sow. You are what you eat. If you are looking for a fight you’ll find one. You get what you give. If all you have is hammer, then everything starts to look like a nail. My concept of God doesn’t hate the rich, hold back the poor, kill the innocent, punish the unjust, or curse nations and peoples. Mankind has a pretty good handle on all of that. God is the ominous explanation given in most creation stories or ‘myths’. He is the beginning and the end, absolutely. The understanding of God has evolved and is evolving constantly through mankind, and as I mentioned earlier, I believe mankind has been springing up like grass on the plain since the early beginnings of the Universe. We on earth are like infants in the universe, but there are toddlers, teeny boppers, and senior citizens in the cosmos as well, and guess what? They are still trying to figure out the cornucopia that is Universal Law. The beings that have had contact with us as we evolved from our own creation have either treated us as a preserve of study or as an active experiment. We have interpreted them as God or gods, angels, devils and demons. They have a deep interest in us as does the spirit world. Some interfere in our affairs and some feel as though it goes against their experience of Universal Law to intervene. Some feel that to intercede would in effect challenge the Universal Law that they seem to think they understand better than we do. There are those even within their own ranks who may feel differently, seeing their earth brothers as an opportunity to exploit. “As it is above, so it is below,” fits well within the realm of a Universal Law. We stand to learn from our errors whether the human body lives to be 100 or as old as or older than Methuselah. These ‘superior’ beings both deemed good or evil are littered throughout the pages, stones, scrolls, and clay tablets of our holiest scriptures. Man was left to determine who the gods and the demons were by their own interpretation of Universal Law and the occasional aid of an enlightened prophet that may well have been wise to the truth of one God or Universal Law.

Do we need many leaders for mankind or one supreme leader? God is our ‘one’ and only true leader that has naturally provided the correct level of dominion needed to keep nature in balance. But the seeming ‘savageness’ of nature is so undesirable to man (or rather, some men) that we tolerate the savageness of man’s manipulation of Universal Law. If we truly believe that we are a chip off the Old Block (God), then we have to be careful making our earthly laws by considering if they are self serving or best for the whole of mankind. Nature is united, but diverse. Mankind can live in harmony, but we too are diverse. We must beware of a New World Order because it is or has been an Order operating and plotting against the ‘nature’ of things, thus circumventing the Law of the Universe that is not a conformer of man’s own desires. The granting of free will is not to be interpreted as an endorsement from God. The desires of man are like the chaff that separates itself from the wheat by the gentle blow of the wind. The chaff’s work may be done to its specific purpose, but the wheat now has a destiny of its own to fulfill. So where man’s desire leaves him or takes him is man’s creation, not God’s. It bears fruit or it withers and dies. ‘Outcome’ is the figurative judgment of God, and has been preordained in Universal Law. Universal Law needs a hard look by mankind, and be held to the standard of desires vs. results, and we need to make sure we don’t live too far outside of the balance of nature. If man is the ultimate gardener and keeper of the land; then why do so few have so much, and in the same breath why do so few want dominion over so many? It is not the way of nature. When balanced, nature has just the right amount of everything. I don’t have all the answers but I think I could well construct a more balanced world than the architects of New World Order, unless of course the end result of this coming Order is to embrace the Universal Law. How can those curious enough to wonder, put trust in those human beings who plot in secret, or compare their less educated brothers as being subhuman? Dependency by the many to New World elitism is enslavement. There are rogues in nature and they must have a purpose yet undiscovered or understood within Universal Law. Man can only survive as nature intended. Prophecy says that the Order will win for a time. Then as only God (Universal Law) can deliver, a Judgment Day will come. It is then that all the subversive plotting and planning of the world’s elite that has gone on through the centuries will testify to the ‘outcome’ of their hubris desires. Perhaps they will see themselves as an endless succession of ants, or grains of sand, each one a king who failed his subjects. None the less, the cycle of man will begin again, here or somewhere else, just as the sun has always moved across our sky, and the seasons have changed, and the galaxies have spun; complying to the Law of the Universe, God’s Will.

Those Problem Teenagers

The largest enemy to the New World Order is the U.S. Middle Class. I am speaking of the middle class in the broadest sense of the category. This recognizes degrees of the middle class that range from Upper Middle to Lower Middle incomes. Whether in the lower part of the middle class or the upper echelons, those belonging to this classification have had two things that cause problems for the architects of the Order as they progress in time. Firstly, members of the middle class have over average intelligence. Many have advanced college degrees, bachelor’s degrees, technical degrees, and at the least, a high school diploma. The Order knows that they have to work extra hard to disguise agendas so that the middle class doesn’t recognize eyebrow-raising issues that effect their social climb or nest building security. But how did the middle class get so smart? How were they fundamentally different than those at the low end of the income spectrum that are typically and more easily led by the nose with all the hocus-pocus generated by the Order that effectively clouds the judgment of those who have less? The answer is simple. The middle class has disposable income. They recreate. They buy boats, motor homes, take vacations, but most of all, they have (the second thing) ‘time’ to ponder issues that are going to allow them advancement. Though some low income people (by virtue of their poverty) may not possess the same formal education as their more fortunate middle income brethren; the poor don’t have the time to ponder issues, but rather depend on the ‘honesty’ of the media and the pulse of the public opinion to keep them abreast of national and world affairs. The lower classes do well to keep the wolves from their doors each month.

To the New World Order, the middle class is as challenging as a parent trying to influence a rebellious teenager. How many parents have noted that their adolescents know just enough to get themselves into trouble? You see, the Order, like parents, doesn’t like to go into depth about the reasons why they are doing what they are doing for the simple fact that they ‘know’ you are totally incapable of absorbing the ‘big picture’. The ‘big picture’ is their plan for you and how you will fit in that future. They justifiably envision themselves as the elder and wiser parties of the family unit. They feel ordained to direct your life. Now that you are a teenager, you may be less gullible, but you are still considered a child in their eyes. You might do something out of ignorance that could derail their long vested efforts to improve your life (or make their's easier). The Order probably loved us more when we (the people) were more at the development stage of helpless infants or cute toddling brats, because we were totally dependent upon them to be the unquestioned authority. Actually, we might have been lucky to have had them or we might not have made it to adolescence at all. But unlike true parenthood, where the old dynasties are replaced by following generations, nature is expected to yield indefinitely to the Order which has endured seemingly for an eternity in the ether around us. That is why the Order, long an old tattered lion, has always chosen to control nature through deceit and cunning rather than lose to direct and virile confrontation. The Order however was patient, and created (or better yet) understood that true power was realized by controlling the accepted/established mode of social commerce. That mode became a system of currency and credit. They also decided not to pass along certain kinds of knowledge (that they had acquired or perhaps even stumbled upon) to their possibly rebellious young lads and lassies. Instead they chose to parse knowledge, edit knowledge, hide knowledge or even destroy knowledge that you might discover independently by meddling. They felt it their duty to create obstacles and dead ends not only to horde what they knew for themselves, but to better control your behavior to the point of predictability. Thus the Order’s objective is to either deny the will of God as long as possible, or try to circumvent His unyielding flight into eternity in a vane attempt to jockey themselves a front row seat. Knowledge therefore is more powerful than currency and credit, so it isn’t surprising that the Order would want to hijack the mind of God, the Law of the Universe, or the riddle of the Sphinx through the ever enticing carrot known as money. The want of it and what it brings the sheep, makes the shepherd's job much easier.

Perhaps the Order is right. Mankind does tend to be different (at least from our perspective) than all other living creatures on earth. Though we are less adapted for survival than a slimy slug, due to our enormous brains and our ability to form societies and alliances, we have somehow become the gods of our own earthly domain. And, just as in nature, there is a hierarchy or pecking order among us that works as long as the majority of the population can sustain and procreate with reasonable ease. Perhaps the normal man’s brain could not deal with ‘the truth’ of what we truly are or where and how we originated, thus occasionally having to pit man against man to further ‘the master plan’ laid out by the Order’s exclusive history of initiates. Henry Kissinger once said that we’d have this New World Order either by force or submission. That is pretty serious whether you believe in conspiracy theories or not, especially now that things seem to be moving rapidly toward more government oversight, talk by the new head of the U.S. Treasury about a ‘world currency’, and an all out attack on the middle class to ‘dummy down’, expect less, dream less, and work more. Destroying the middle class doesn’t make them disappear. It merely pushes them back into lower ranks and fills their hands with more things to juggle. That of course makes it impossible to do the pondering that got them in so much trouble with the Order in the first place. There was a time when the Order needed ‘the backbone of America’, but their usefulness has dissolved and they need to now be lassoed in and recycled for the next coming phase. With any stroke of luck, Biblical prophesy will be real in the end and deliver us from what seems to be the anti-Christ or perhaps just some really bad parents. Or on a more eerie note, perhaps ‘prophesies’ were road maps devised by the illuminated ones throughout the ages. Is it any wonder that prophesies come to pass by their own hypnotic suggestion? Is this not especially supported by our own participation within our many institutions, philosophies, and spiritual beliefs throughout the world? Perhaps the Order wrote the play, positioned the props and cast the parts. We at our level will simply follow the cues and act out the script. If this is true, the outcome has already been written.

Politics and the Looking Glass

Liberals have been chomping at the bit ever since the announcement from the McCain camp that Sarah Palin would be his selection for Vice President. Just when they thought they had closed the door on the only type of candidate who could battle equally with a rock star minority like Obama, the republicans offer up their own youthful conservative version of Hillary Clinton. Palin is a liberal’s worst nightmare. Choosing her was actually a stroke of genius, because any criticism of her being female, a mother, and even a governor have stereotypically been aimed at the ‘closed conservative mind’ popularly stereotyped by liberals and feminists. Yet, she has and is currently being chastised by liberals and liberal women for not being a good mother because she is balancing raising a family with being an executive officer. Suddenly, the strengths that these liberals acknowledge in women of their own party do not apply to their conservative counterparts. The song, ‘I Am Woman’ works only if liberals are singing it, which is proof enough of their hateful hypocrisy. Liberals are justifiably terrified because they are looking at a photo negative of their own ticket, with one very huge difference. There is no tolerance from the party that’s mantra has been driven by diversity. Being different is respected only if that different entity is of a liberal mind.

The match-up is once again even in the political correctness department. There is the possibility that there will be an interracial president for the first time in history, due to the defeat of Hillary Clinton who ironically could well have been the first female president. Obama, who was critical of ‘old school’ political rivals who doubted his experience shockingly, picked a Washington ‘Lifer’ like Senator Biden as his Vice Presidential running mate. Staring back at Obama/Biden from the reflection pool is McCain/Palin. Like Lazarus back from the dead, along comes Palin. She is young, charismatic and attractive like Obama. She arguably has more executive experience than the liberal Presidential candidate, but Obama is a confident seasoned strategist. Though her liberally perceived ‘inexperience’ places her within a heartbeat of the presidency if McCain wins the election; it will be the elderly Senator Biden whom will assume the Oval Office if death would befall Barack Obama should they win in the fall. Liberals have long implied that McCain is too old and feeble from his bouts of skin cancer to be a wise choice for President of the United States. Once again liberals don’t apply their own philosophy to their own political choices. McCain’s choice in Palin has made liberals have to put their money where their mouth is. He found through his own running that experience isn’t necessarily a factor among the majority of liberals. Liberals are clinging to the ‘hope’ that Barack is their political Messiah. Is Obama a leader? Can he lead? Personally, and as a conservative, I think he can. People forget that Presidents have advisors and plenty of help and opinions piped to them at their whim. A President need make good decisions and I think Barack Obama and Sarah Palin both have the ability to make great decisions based on good information. But Obama could well be the next President, taking that challenge from a very liberal stance. On the other hand, Palin is coming in as a very conservative vice serving a proven left-of-right conservative John McCain. It boils down the flavor of ice cream you prefer. Both might taste good and either might do in a pinch, but if you had your druthers you’d pick one over the other.

Today we are back to square one. We have jockeyed positions, parried and thrust home. We have finessed our game plans over and over again, and it all comes down to what it was in the beginning. For many of us, it boils down to our liberal views and our conservative views; and, the presence of an interracial man or the reemergence of a woman on a political ticket will have little if any effect on our choice come November. Once again, the politically uncommitted will decide who will become President of the United States. I am sure that Liberals had hoped that they could be the only party vying for change through the symbol of a minority or a woman as their exclusive poster child. McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin effectively neutralized that obvious ‘visual’. Many have claimed that choosing Palin was to win over disgruntled Clintonites. I emphatically disagree. Only if these women use ‘being a woman’ as their only plank in a narrow platform would this rationality hold any truth. I am sure there will be a few women who claim they are liberal who will vote for McCain simply because Palin is a woman in the same way that many, many more black men and women will vote for Obama simply because he is interracial.

Standing before the looking glass are yin and yang, tit for tat, and the 2^nd Amendment and Roe vs. Wade. They are mere reflections of each other in the opposite. However, this fall, only one pair will emerge victorious and assume flesh, while the other vanishes in the muddied wave of defeat.

Nature

Predators are always fewer by nature.

Handsome and strong they are fearless;

and head to head their skill and ferocity are unmatched.

Scavengers are many, and depend on the success of the crafty hunter.

There will be times when Pride has to leave what is his,

and relinquish those labors to the buzzards, hyenas, and curs that would banish him.

They will bathe in the carcass, snapping and regurgitating at each other;

in order to fill their bellies and in order to live,

so they may breed.

They fear him when alone, and gibe him in their packs.

They scout him in their famine, and intoxicate themselves on his bounty.

Life would be cruel without him.

Lament of the Shoe Thrower

I sit here in confinement awaiting my demerit, in perhaps the same place that others once awaited certain death, and my blood boils.

You left our destiny to the Godless American, who, in their own interests had the courage to sacrifice their sons and daughters to take back for us what was ours.

How dare You choose whom I hate, to deliver me such a bittersweet prize. I’d rather the brutal hand of Saddam, than our Lord save us with this twist of irony.

You mock my cowardice with an abomination of our culture; the bearer of my independence. I rebuke their ‘generosity’, for I lent my pen to keep their ‘freedom’ from my people.

They shame me with a gift soaked in the blood of our kind, their warriors, and my Arab foe. You expose my impotence, and allow me the audacity to pitch shoes at a king and a kingdom.

You robbed me of a spine when it mattered, and gave me one in the trail of victory. You are merciless in that I will cheat death, as my enemy ‘allows’ me free expression.

Guilt and sorrow You bring me, O’ Lord; for with this price of freedom, there in lives my naked humility. I cannot bear the stain upon me, that I had not the fortitude to help free them myself.

What is my reward dear God? What will You bestow upon me for allowing my hate to soar above the prospect of freedom for my countrymen? Will You enslave us in their Capitalism, immerse us in their equality to women and minority sects, or allow Your flock to worship as they choose?

Would You banish us to wander in the wilderness, we who stood by while atrocities once ruled this harsh land? Outside my cell, they who once trembled in fearful tyranny now praise my protest.

A living martyr I’ll be (and a frustrated thrower of soles). I’d sooner You scorch the earth than admit my disgusting role as an agent of oppression. The dead laugh at me now, as my cold heart hides the foot I have wedged in my mouth. My hell is that You know. You’ll always know.

Gay Marriage and the Icarus Effect

4-20-09

Levelheaded Bob

I am old enough to remember when schoolbooks had defined homosexuality as being a form of deviant behavior. Somewhere in the scriptures of at least the Big Three world religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) it has been canonized that same sex relationships are an abomination to God. Arguably, Christianity and later the Islamic faith evolved out of Judaism due to disagreements concerning (to use a broad term) the ‘truth’ of the ‘One God’ and how men should worship and know him. All three of these religions acknowledge many of the same key players. There is even credible speculation that Judaism was formed from even earlier practices of worship and that it likely evolved from them. God proves to be a hard cookie to crack even in our fast paced computer age. The truth is probably such that as far as the One God, the Omnipotent God, the God that is larger than any flesh or inter-dimensional being, is or always will be beyond our comprehension. It is my personal belief that higher or more evolved beings have been inching us toward a broader understanding of God since the concept of God first arose. I do not believe that the concept of God was created by man, but rather a necessary gift in the evolution of man within the universe. A naysayer of God and/or organized worship may blame religion for bias, hatred, and war, falsely assuming that man would be incapable of such negative actions in the absence of religion. Religion, though imperfect, has been a catalyst for many great things as well. It has been the husk of the nut that has kept the notion of God alive in the minds of men. Unscrupulous men have used religion, politics, and the fears of others less illuminated to collie the masses to their own selfish will. At the center of every tragedy involving man, there is someone who will cry out, “No God would allow this to happen. God therefore must not exist.” Yet, before our eyes we witness daily His now mundane miracles. We expect more than mountains, deep oceans, and stars beyond our ability to count. It seems we’ve grown weary of the gift of life and free will. We have belittled the experience of the Earth’s treasures and abundance as it evolves in a life cycle all its own. Man continually shapes God to his own understanding, but only when he looks for his answers in God’s creation (nature) does he become remotely correct about any matter of thought. It is not so much right or wrong, good or evil, but what works most the time and what fails most the time. There may be absolutes in nature, yet we will not know them absolutely until we are able to conceive the mind of God. Until then, we observe and mimic the perfection of nature instant by instant instead of understanding it in its coordinated entirety. God is therefore ‘The Law’, and mankind theorizes this law by testing what works and gleaning its benefits.

When God created something from nothing, he likely started with something an inch or two one way or the other from no place in particular. Since that is hard to imagine, try to think of a homesteader in the Old West walking into the vast open plain and pondering a bit until he finally takes his shovel and turns over a little dirt. “We’ll build here!” He shouts. “There, a beginning.” It has to start somewhere folks or we would have never made it this far. It is my personal view that we elevated other beings (human, superhuman, and spiritual) to the position of the One Omnipotent God either by confusion or divine design. It’s no secret that even in our most holy documents, there are beings mightier and more brilliant than man. Thus we get characters that I believe existed, like the archangel Michael or Jesus, who surely reflected a bit more Godliness than most beings. Using the same example I believe we can understand God broadly through the Godly and be figuratively ‘delivered’ by a Son of God or even a God within. God can’t be defined by our limited verbiage. I’d hope He’d be larger than human, but at the same time be reflected within a being or teacher that we can understand and emulate. God just IS. “I AM that I AM”. “I am the beginning and I am the end.”

So, if there are creatures in nature that live to be sacrificed for the better of their species, than it is logical that somewhere in our universe there are others like us that might do the same. If there is unfair or unjust death in nature than it is likely that the same exists in the lives of men. As it is above so it is below. In nature not all creatures get to breed. We tag those as rogues, slaves, workers, and other things depending on the genus or type. If it is true in nature, than it can be so in the lives of men. Same sex attractions may not be plentiful, but seem to exist in nature. I have seen cows mount other cows and perform in the manner of mounting males. Dogs have not only ‘hunched’ other dogs of their same gender, but also people’s legs and other foreign objects. It is odd, and it is rare as far as a coupling ratio goes, but it occurs in nature. Experts give nature a break, however by explaining it away with time of season, hormonal alibis, and instinctual instructions engraved in their DNA, but regardless it happens in nature, thus it occurs in mankind. Where an animal has a limited destiny, mankind has free-will. Free-will is God’s gift that we might, in a small way experience what it is like to start at nothing or someplace and mold our larger purpose. Man creates his destiny and if that harms no one else’s journey, he should logically be allowed to fulfill it. There are consequences that we summarize as ‘life’, however. And what we have sown in our life is what we will reap from it. The One God’s judgment of one’s life is not a thumbs-up or down scenario. That is what we would expect of earth men or other beings that have interpreted God’s plan by their own ‘advanced’ study of God in nature from a galactic perspective. God’s judgment is simply, ‘outcome’. Nature has obstacles for a reason, and she is ordained by the vast wisdom of God to cast us into the river of life where we will sink, float or swim by the river’s end. So let’s look to see what we can assume, note that I did not say what we know, from nature about much of what troubles us.

Let me start with something I saw on a recent television network. A grizzly bear was stalking a lone elk somewhere in Alaska. The bear is stronger and ultimately more fierce than an elk, and though a bear can run up to 30 miles an hour, it can still not catch an elk on the run. Chance would have it that the elk was alone which was stated not to be normal. The elk’s huge rack and sharp hooves have injured and killed many a predator, but in all the parrying the elk drove the bear into water and continued into the water himself. This proved to be to the bear’s advantage, and made the struggle even harder for the disadvantaged elk. In the water the bear became more empowered and quickly and savagely killed the elk. Was nature unfair? Professional observers might say that the elk might have been ill, injured, or somehow rejected by its kind and wondered outside of its area of safety. It had a hard time fleeing the menacing bear and made a tactical error by entering the water. Perhaps the bear sensed a ‘weakness’ and the elk became a target of opportunity. Whatever the reason, the scales tipped in the bear’s favor. Mankind manufactures his surroundings from within nature like no other animal of land or sea. He is the bear, the elk, the shark, the sardine, the hawk, and the song bird. He is the insect, the plant, the wind, rain, snow and scorching sun. He adapts to nature or defies it but he can’t change its course because it is beyond his control. Nature has its structure and man accommodates himself within. This is the Law of the Creator and we embrace it and go with the flow or resist it and hammer away. Neither guarantees 100% human satisfaction of life. Both project a predictable likelihood of success or failure. Our civilizations, our laws, our customs, and everything about us at some point in our cycle are overcome by nature or destroyed by our own hand. Life is thus rumored to be unfair. Armed with all this, let’s look into some of our social struggles or woes as they pertain to homosexuality and perhaps other things.

Homosexuality and our attitudes about it present a challenge to civil rights interpretation. In our own big social experiment in America, we chose to separate our religious beliefs from the governing of our state. It seemed like the right thing to do for ‘real’ freedom. This, however has been difficult because of the role Judeo-Christian values have played in the early development of our society. Religion and governments/kingdoms have coexisted since the beginning of civilization. Gay activists have compared their plight to that of the Black Civil Rights movement, but is this an accurate analogy? There is no doubt that openly gay people have been subjected to bias and prejudice by the moral values or hurtful stereotypes of others, but they have not been denied basic human rights by our present state. As a movement that could only have formulated in an evolving free society, it has only been in recent times that a large organized voice has expressed the will (or had the courage) to challenge conventional marriage. This presents a problem for the state, because it now enters the venue of religion. The state did not foresee the ‘problem’ or conflict arising from a community that had been oppressed by religious beliefs and past social values. Ironically, the men of faith that molded our American foundation used the language of religion to create a more liberated government. They used phrases like, endowed by our Creator, and all men are ‘created’ equal. These ideas certainly weren’t Darwinian, and thank goodness for that. Freedom and equality might have been hindered by scientific models like natural selection or survival of the fittest. Faith was part of our founders’ world and our Judeo-Christian symbolism became helplessly intertwined in the language of our law and institutional customs. The total separation of church and state was and now is a near impossibility.

The mistake made by the state concerning homosexuality is that the 'homosexual wheel' didn’t get squeaky until it became a gay movement that had political interests and might of its own. Today, I feel that the state would like to provide an equivalent to marriage through the development and sanction of civil unions; but the state was also not prepared for something else. The state had not separated itself from the religious monopoly on marriage, but integrated it into its legal system. Why reinvent the wheel? Marriage has long been a religious rite, and Judeo-Christians as well as Islamic and other religions have recognized marriage as being a man to a woman (or man to women). It also reflected, through celebration, the concept that defined family and its continuous hope of renewal. It was not too different than celebrating or recognizing the implications of Spring. So, what do we now have before America today? We have a society of human beings that are all recognized as equal at least by the written law of the land. The state sees no color, no gender, and no religion as far as equality under the law. However, the state is struggling with sexual orientation because the state must also respect religious freedoms. Martin Luther broke ties with the Catholic Church and formulated an alternative Christian religion. Many gays who have identified with Christianity or religion have formed their own houses of worship as well. Many Christian Churches welcome all walks, though they may not agree with homosexuality or gay marriage. Heterosexuality throughout the world is the norm, at least for now. It makes sense. It fits in that higher percentile of workability in nature. Homosexuality has always been around so therefore must suit a purpose to God that is beyond our speculation. It is unfortunate that without the protection of a state or government providing equality under man's law, that harm might come to any human being; but the nature of man has also been to evolve kingdoms and governments as well. Time makes room for change if indeed nature calls for it.

I believe that the tendency to gravitate romantically toward someone of your own sex is due to a number of factors. Testimony from some homosexuals indicates that the same sex bond is innate. As a heterosexual, I find bisexuality much more confusing. The fact that these people can be aroused by a man or a woman puts a stick in the spokes of simple hard wiring at birth. Perhaps a person’s sexual orientation should be perceived as a preference that lends them more toward one sex or the other. Instead of being a black or white issue it is more one way than another like Mendel’s dominant and recessive genetic traits for peas or eye color. Dominant sexual orientation lends itself to be more of what occurs in nature. Many homosexuals have contended that many heterosexuals are merely latent homosexuals or bisexuals that have not expressed themselves or ‘come out’ yet. I believe that tendency could exist in a more complex Mendel model. At what point would any random male be attracted to another? I have seen computer generated photos from the neck up of a man slowly taking on more and more ‘defined’ feminine features until he becomes more and more like what I would recognize as a woman. He ultimately becomes a woman. Somewhere along the spectrum of visible masculine and feminine traits are those who could only be distinguished by their genitalia, or perhaps more primitively by an odor or pheromone. The triggers are endless and involve all the senses, just as in nature with like species. The male animal knows when it is time to engage in sex with a female. It becomes ‘aware’ when their own kind cross the threshold from child to adult. I have known male mammals to kill young of their own species, but have not known them to attempt to mate with them. So, if intercourse does occur with like, non-adult mammals in nature it is surely not the norm. Today, survival has become relatively easy for mankind in thriving free societies. However, animals are so preoccupied with sustenance, defense, and shelter that nature has to slap them each spring with inborn or highly sensitive triggers so that they don’t forget to breed and face possible extinction.

If studies show that man innately has comfort issues within an enclosed elevator, than at what point does he begin to react negatively to those around him? I was shocked when I heard an African male say that those tribes who were being attacked in Darfor where like primitive animals and that they were subhuman. A woman who was raped and nearly killed by these same militants claimed that they were targets due to their darker skin. Dark skinned people were killing darker skinned tribal people in the absence of law in a broken government that could no longer protect the few from the many, or the helpless from the strong. Skin color, sexual preference, and God only knows what other countless unseen traits are instantly processed in the mind of every human being at any instance. Aside from our social grooming, I find both racism and bias to be actually explained by a much broader word. That word is ‘different’. If I walk into an all black neighborhood, I am guaranteed to raise some eyebrows. If I walk into an upper class LA country club, I am likely to get the same reaction from a variety of skin colors and sexual orientations due to the registry of the instantaneous visual cues presented by my clothing style, speech or mannerisms. We couple and bunch ourselves by a multitude of attributes. Outside of nature, wealth trumps age, race, health, and physical power. We learn that from the civil part of man’s experience, but in nature what you may have or dominate depends on your brains and brawn. In the absence of order there is chaos. At the end of chaos comes a new order. Whoever has the might and cunning makes the rules for the day. Balance, like spring or fall, is a short season. I once said that freedom was a long rope, and if you could gather enough of it, you would eventually hang yourself with it. The life cycle of mankind’s tolerance of others is a type of Icarus Effect. How far will mankind test the limits of nature, society, each other, or even our freedoms? Where is the breaking point?

At this point in our American society, homosexuality must compromise with the state and religion. Fairness from the state should allow consenting adults legal civil union in order that those couples may pursue life, liberty and happiness. Homosexual couples should have legal rights to the same things that the state is willing to provide heterosexual married couples. Atheists or agnostics who want to be legally united outside of the church should also seek civil unions and many do. Christian homosexuals, who attend gay churches or are welcomed into a church that overlooks doctrine bias, should obtain their state-provided civil union and follow up with a church wedding if that institution is willing to give those sacraments. What shouldn’t happen is the interference of the state into the age old sacraments of what other American citizens hold dear to their beliefs. These beliefs and ideals are still part of the complicated glue and stitch-work that bind our societal garment. It is the state’s responsibility to weigh consequences of their actions if they want to ‘remain in the state’ they have acquired. If Icarus had been an angel his wings would have elevated him to heaven, but his wings were borrowed from the feathers of birds and bound together by wax. Icarus was neither an angel nor a bird. He was a man that was flying to freedom, became distracted by its glory, and dared to test the certainty of nature.

Checkmate

I can’t believe that most American’s don’t notice it. It seems so obvious. I am not your typical conspiracy theorist. I have always envisioned a ‘loose conspiracy’ concerning a patient agenda that is so ancient that our latest candidates can’t imagine that they themselves are mere game pieces on a checkered board. I use this analogy frequently, due to the writings and insight of M.R. Behr. The rules of the game, the pieces along with their respective powers or limitations, are all the brainchild of those whose influence creates the action/response we see all over the world. The egos and hubris of our nation’s and the world’s leaders don’t lend them to see beyond their own limited vision of a black and white chess game. This alone causes all who look toward them, to notice even less as they are inched from square to square like the pawns they truly are.

These leaders are the Rooks, Knights, Bishops, and Queens that ironically stand behind those whose only defense is a single step forward. A diagonal step off the beaten path results in killing or being killed. All peons and trump pieces are at the disposal of the King or Kingdom they toil so diligently to serve. Oddly enough, the Royal Hind-Asses are naked and fragile without the fabric of their skillful magistrates and willful subjects. It makes for a great drama, embellished with every imaginable human attribute, need, and vice. Since the innovation of bank notes and systems of credit, those who found they could control the wealth of nations also found they could influence economies and control leadership with the want of money and the agony of debt. In the past several centuries, it has become abundantly clear that a few banking dynasties and their closest agents have likely been the mysterious hand behind each calculated move on both sides of the board. Their few, but petty losses are mere stumbles. They take their lemons with a bit of humor, while repackaging them with a hard squeeze, cheap water, and a little sweetness so they can sell it back to us as lemonade. It is so delicious; and we never quite get it that they are the both the problem and solution. They are the villain and the hero.

Here I go again, seeming so all-knowing, brilliant, philosophical and mysterious. But I don’t know anything of any certainty. It is frustrating to arrive at gut felt answers, when intelligence is measured by the brain’s ability to sort irrefutable proof and then spill it out verbally or on paper. I can’t seem to do that in any credible way; but if you put a thousand tiny black dots side by side, at some vantage point doesn’t it start to appear like a solid straight line? I have digested too many sound bites, quotes, gaffs, and read way too much Shakespeare. My eyes have seen the unbelievable, and yet I have found it impossible to condense it into a potent pill that is easy enough for the masses to swallow. People are no different than schools of fish, flocks of birds or sheep, or herds of cattle. Ninety-nine percent will start, stop, turn, or dive on cue. So, as a lonely one percent, I will share with you the thoughts and scribbles of men far greater and smarter than me who could see it or who admitted having knowledge of it. Perhaps by piling them all together in one essay, they will have more substance than if they stood alone.

Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836) London financier, founder Rothschild international banking dynasty:

“I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire,… The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire. And I control the money supply.”

George Washington (1732-1799) Founding Father and 1^st U.S. President:

“The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations to have as little political connection as possible… Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European Ambition, rivalships, interest, humor, or caprice?... It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.”

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Founding Father and 3^rd U.S. President:

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the Government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.” (Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin, 1802.)

“We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds… [We will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferer… And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for [another]… till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery… And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.” (Letter to Samuel Kercheval, Monticello, July 12, 1816.)

“Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or, will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction.” (Excerpt from a letter to John Adams as quoted in None Dare Call it Treason, by John A. Stormer.)

Karl Marx (Father of Communism, Author of the ‘Communist Manifesto’.):

“My object in life is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism.”

“The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to Socialism.”

J.P. Morgan (Tycoon, 1837-1913):

“Capital must protect itself in every way… Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law and applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd.” (Quote is attributed to: Private Communiqué to Lending U.S. Bankers only, which surfaced in 1934.)

Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924, 28^th U.S. President):

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” (In his book entitled, The New Freedom, in 1916.)

“…A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” (In reference to the signing of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Likely, a compilation of two quotes from his book, The New Freedom.)

“The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.”

“Is their any man, is there any woman, let me say any child here that does not know that the seed of war in the modern world is industrial and commercial rivalry?” (1919)

John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (1839-1937, Industrialist, founder of Standard Oil.):

“The Combination is here to stay. Individualism has gone, never to return.” (1934)

“In our dreams, people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present education conventions of intellectual and character education fade from their minds, and unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people, or any of their children, into philosophers, or men of science. We have not to raise up from them authors, educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for great artists, painters, musicians nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen—of whom we have an ample supply. The task is simple. We will organize children and teach them in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way.” (General Education Board, 1906.)

David Rockefeller (1915- Industrialist billionaire, CFR kingpin, founder of the Trilateral Commission, and World Order Godfather.):

“This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long—We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”

“My congratulations on the occasion of the 60^th anniversary of the October revolution.” (1977, message of congratulations to the Communist tyrants in the Kremlin.)

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years… It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” (Bilderberg Meeting, Baden Germany, June 1991.)

“Everything is in place—after 500 years—to build a true ‘new world’ in the Western Hemisphere… I truly don’t think that ‘criminal’ would be too strong a word for rejecting NAFTA.” (Wall Street Journal)

Henry Kissinger (1923-Present, Former U.S. Secretary of State):

“The illegal we do immediately. The Unconstitutional takes a little longer.” (New York Times, October 28, 1973.)

“It cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change its perceptions.” (World Affairs Council Press Conference, Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, April 19, 1994.)

“NAFTA represents the single most creative step towards a New World Order.” (Los Angeles Times Syndicate, August 1993.)

Nikita Khrushchev (Premier of the Soviet Union, 1894-1971):

“We can’t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.”

There seems to be a certain arrogance among those few who control the world’s money and their agents who advance their new world agendas upon ‘free’ people. Elected officials are either pandered to by their special interests, or hopelessly battling the economic fires that are fabricated by them. The masses are oblivious to the agenda of money controlling elites by no fault of their own. People are purposely led by their political passions that don’t amount to a hill of beans to the architects of the New World Order. They not only care less who makes the laws, they also welcome any passion that might divide ‘free’ people. No ‘free’ man would willfully want these few elitists to influence our lawmakers, industry, and media with their manipulating ideology. However, because the topic of the economy is so confusing, the majority stick to their old interpretations of the two-party system, and the passionate issues like God, Guns, Gays, and Abortion that they champion. This election has also welcomed the perceived failures of the Bush administration which has created even further division. Unable to concentrate the focus on the root of all our woes, the agenda inches onward as the snare tightens on those ‘free’ people of both parties. Meanwhile, the fat cats that hold membership with the CFR, Trilateral Commission, and Committee of 300 make their plans for the destiny of the United States separate from our Constitutional law making bodies. Like rats in an old fairy tale, the masses will follow the cheerful tune of the New World piper, all the way to a river of socialism and its deeper undertows. If our destiny were a chess game, few Americans (democrats, republicans, and independents) would realize that our King(dom) has moved into ‘check’. Overwhelmed by centuries of New World ideological encroachments, any retreat has essentially been eliminated. Options are few if any, and ‘checkmate’ is now just a matter of time.

Adios Senor Bush

While liberals and far-lefties will continue to cling to George W. Bush as their political whipping boy long after he has left Washington, conservative minded people will feel a bit more confused and perhaps betrayed by his legacy. I see his presidency for what it truly was, and that was one more predictable rung scaled in mankind’s advance up the New World ladder. If nothing more, the Bush II presidency has proven that something other than the President of the United States is in complete control of our country’s economy and the more crucial events that are shaping our world.

“Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.”

- Mayer Amschel Rothschild

In W’s defense, he neither had the heart nor the acting ability to handle this late stage of contrived drama toward the New World Order agenda. Since the end of WW II, most presidents had become aware of the heavy hand behind their necks once they took office. Those who were more resilient found themselves enveloped in scandal, forced into uncomfortable moves on the world chess board, or murdered as in case of JFK. One can see this in some parts of my older articles concerning Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, and Clinton. Of all these and aside from his father, George W. Bush was privy to a bigger picture than most. Being the son of a man who knows exactly why John F. Kennedy was sacrificed and subsequently martyred, young George had a troublesome burden on his shoulders and a horrifying script to follow. Should this evoke sorrow and pity from my readers? No; Bush, his father and their controllers have been indoctrinated into an ideology that we can only speculate upon. I speak freely of the New World Order as though I know what kind of world society it could deliver us. I don’t know. We certainly have been deceived about many things. A house of cards has been built, but just because it is fragile, and just because it will one day come crashing to the ground, doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a useful diversion to accomplish the intended goal. That goal was a centralized, world banking system, the abolition of religion as we knew it, and elite control of the masses through epidemics, chronic illness, one government, and economic slavery.

G.W. was surrounded by Rumsfeld and Cheney for most of his presidency. These are Washington old timers who came in with or around the time of President Gerald Ford. I like to call him Ford the ‘Fixer’. Many won’t recall that he was reigned in to head the Warren Commission. “Nothing to see here folks, move along; go back to your grazing, everything has been figured out and we need to get the country back on track and heal.” Years later, the man that Kennedy narrowly defeated would be shot down in the flames of Watergate and the ‘Fixer’ would be called upon to do his Warren Commission magic act once again. “Nothing to see here, an open and closed case of presidential scandal due to paranoia; it is time for the country to heal. Nixon has been shamed enough; we need look no further and no deeper.” Conveniently, he, Jerry ‘Fixer’ Ford was the Vice President. The transition was smooth, the democrats got their pound of flesh, and Mr. Fixer would see to it that Nixon would be pardoned for his suspicious crime that all assumed was driven entirely by Nixon himself. I hate to burst that mythical bubble nearly as bad as I hate to cast doubt on the Kennedy assassinations, or the results of the 9-11 Commission. G.W. did what he had to do be it treasonous or as a result of his New World Order ideology. I have seen George Bush speak on a few occasions and I have seen clips of him in his early presidency and as governor. Unless he has suffered a stroke or gotten Alzheimer’s disease, his oratory skills were at worst average. Certainly after 9-11, and just after the early days of the Iraq War, George hasn’t been able to form a complete sentence or hold a thought for more than a few seconds. It got so bad that Cheney and Rumsfeld were fielding more complicated questions than the Commander in Chief. Bush has since seemed confused, possibly medicated, and daftly behaved. It is as though he is taking dictation and trying to repeat it without screwing it up too badly when spewing it back to the media. He seems yoked to a handful of rehearsed responses. I have made better arguments for 9-11, the wars, and Hurricane Katrina in defense of George Bush than he or any in the administration have even cared to offer the media or American public. And all this time we are led to believe, that George Bush senior has had no contact with his son or the current administration on any of these critical matters. The junior Bush has clearly been being led around like a dog on a short leash. If he knew what he would have to become later in his life, then I wouldn’t blame him for being a drunk at a young age. I never believed that tall tale that was going around when he supposedly choked on popcorn and got a black eye out of it while serving as President of the United States. What he got was an attitude adjustment from his handlers with the blessing of George Herbert Walker Bush. American's can buy that he is a goofball, buffoon, and ignoramus. Not me. While he is no genius, he is nothing as he is perceived. He’s part of the continuing Big Lie, but somehow I think he believes that history will one day exonerate him and redeem his legacy. What is troublesome about that theory is that this New World Order agenda which is being crammed down our throats would have had to be perceived as needed, necessary and a positive outcome for the good of mankind.

Soon a new Hercules will take the weight of the world off of George W. Atlas’ narrow shoulders. McCain or Obama will be able to take the baton down the final stretch, and the world will perceive either candidate as a better runner than Bush. Both candidates for president feel the same about immigration, and both will go with the present banking system, unfair tax system, and basic economic remedies. The end result will be the same. Death to our present way of life will come quicker with an Obama administration, and be slightly more prolonged with a McCain victory. With our country basically cut in half by political ideology, one side is bound to cry foul at losing. If Obama loses or God forbid is harmed in any way other than his feelings getting hurt, there will be race riots or hostile liberal protest during McCain’s entire presidency. Like kindergarteners, the left will respond with new TV satires and movies of McCain and/or Palin as they did during the Bush years. They will entertain and comfort themselves with their snide jokes and accusations of how dumb the American public is. They’ll drag their feet and accuse abuses at all turns, create investigative committees, hold hearings and countless other petty gestures so they can accumulate enough dirt to impeach, embarrass, or disgrace McCain so they can have their ‘four more years of George Bush’. On the other hand if Obama wins, conservatives will hope to God they can take a few chairs back in the House of Representatives. Republicans will gracefully sit back and quietly observe Obama doctrine, saying “I told you so” when appropriate and keeping their mouths shut when they have nothing to add to the argument. Meanwhile, Senor Bush, who along with Democrat and moderate elitist politicians who did nothing about sealing our borders or illegal immigration, will be sucking up an iced tea from an air-conditioned office in Dallas or perhaps the new family spread in South America. He will have done his part, hated for now, and perhaps admired in a different kind of future. Adios El Presidente!

911, Lone Gunmen and Cattle Trucks

(Levelheaded Bob's Original Article from 2003)

Prior to September 11^th 2001, our country was coming apart at the seams. The last time I witnessed that much dissention and popular mistrust in government, our country was going through Watergate. More recently, another elected President (Clinton) had lied to his country and a new election (Bush vs. Gore), left doubts that our leadership truly reflected the will of the American people. Bipartisan became the buzzword in U.S. politics, and our inability to compromise on anything proved to show the world just how weak our nation had become.

Picture if you will, a seemingly genius network of global terrorism. These are the same terrorists that our news networks and government rate as highly advanced, calculated, patient, and cunning foes, ready to attack every possible infrastructure within the United States and its allies abroad.

Please, somebody pinch me! Here we were, an entire nation going to hell in a hand basket. We had an unpopular, newly elected President. We also had an equally unpopular and whining former Vice President. We had even more whining bureaucrats, and a whole country of divided and angry people. Tell me, why on God's green earth, would these geniuses, who would have had to be bright enough to see our proverbial ship sinking, do the one thing at the most inopportune time, to unify Americans, and breathe new life into a stillborn Presidency? Either these terrorists are the dumbest sons-of-bitches I have ever seen, or September 11^th happened for a more logical reason. Now this is the part where some Americans will go back to putting their heads to the ground and start grazing like a herd of cattle again. This is also the part where some Americans are going to start questioning my patriotism, or wonder whose side I'm really on. Please, America, lift your heads up from that sweet smelling grass. Can't you sense the meat wagon coming? Snap out of that cow trance you've been in, the days of the lone gunman are over. Our country isn't run by elected officials, no matter how good or lame we think they might be. Ultimate power doesn't reside with Presidents, ministries, royalty, and dictatorship. They are just mouthpieces, props, and yes men for a new world agenda carried out by industrialists under the direction of boogie men. We'll discuss the boogie men in future articles.
Top

Ultimate power is where the big money is. It's not just Microsoft and big Oil Companies. You have to think bigger, even mega-big! They are as nameless and homeless as our new phantom enemy, the terrorists. They have no allegiance to any country, because the world is their playground. Governments, be they suspecting or unsuspecting, are tools for their manipulation. Many have speculated that they are the Bilderbergs, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Federal Reserve, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Morgans, the Trilateral Commission, and even the Illuminati (whom some say have operated secretly for hundreds of years) within Freemasonry. Perhaps it is one, some, others not mentioned, or none of the above. But, if one takes some time to examine these families, banks, organizations, and secret societies, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize their influence on past, present, and future events on a global scale. I lose a lot of people at this point, because now we are entering the realm of conspiracy theories. Only paranoid cuckoos think about conspiracy theories. So, if I have lost your attention by now, at least let me explain why you'll be trotting back to pasture, so you can fatten yourself up for the New World Order.

We as Americans are slow to boil. Our freedom has been like a long rope, and we have finally gathered enough of that rope that we can hang ourselves with it. As Americans, we still have the highest standard of living on the planet. We have plenty of everything. In relationship to other countries, we have cleaner water, an abundance of food, quality shelter, and lots and lots of entertainment. We care more about our kids' soccer game, favorite television program, or vacation, than what is affecting our very existence. America is a sweet flowing breast, and we're the brat sucking on the end of the nipple. However, if that teat snaps out of our mouths for more than a second, our brains turn into complete Jello. We suddenly realize that our lives and our entire being revolve around getting that nipple back into our dependent little yaps. Suck and sleep, in a nutshell is what we are all about. Well, it is time to open our eyes, and realize the reason why we have become enslaved by our own freedom. Oh, don't shake your heads no! If your air conditioning went out in your home when it was 90 degrees outside with 90 percent humidity, your whole world would collapse until you could get in the Yellow Pages, and find a HVAC repairman to get it running again. Ah, finally some cool air. Meanwhile, some family in a 3^rd world country is wondering where they are getting their next meal. The flies stuck to their lips are waiting just as eagerly. And what are you doing? Well, you've just headed to the fridge for a Popsicle and your third soda pop. The same pop that you spilled on that new, Chinese made shirt (produced by slave labor) that you just purchased from Wal-Mart. Yeah, life is good, and our industries, government, world trade, and world money (whether conscious of it or not) are happy as hell that you are so easily pacified. From what I have heard, Levis has finally seen the light. Another American icon, to be produced somewhere else cheaply. Cheaply because the U.S. doesn't protect foreign labor from the conditions they have to work under, or protect the environment in other countries. In short, America abhors violations of human rights in America, but doesn't mind exploiting poverty stricken populations in Asia and Central or South America. Industry is going for the better deal, just like you did when you dumped your paycheck into the one stop monopoly (grocery, hardware, clothing and more) called Wal-Mart. I regret to say that I have to shop there at times. What else can you do? Can't buy from Bill at the local hardware store, or Judy that had the grocery store down the block. And Mike had that clothing store, remember? Jim had that shoe store in his family for decades. What happened to them? Hey, they just couldn't make it anymore. They couldn't buy in the huge quantities (rendering huge discounts) as all the mega outlets and super stores. Now you will find Bill, Judy, Mike and Jim at the Wal-Mart Super Center in their respective departments. Now they are wearing those silly red and blue smocks and vests, talking the company talk, flashing the company smile. No more tears. No more suffering. No more worries. Oh, my God, have you ever seen the old black and white Sci- Fi horror flick, 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'? Level Headed Bob does not hate Wal-Mart. Bob hates the conditions, policies, and injustice that create black holes like the present day Wal-Mart. I'll elaborate more on that issue in future articles.

Get out of fantasy land folks, and get organized so you can have some real freedom. Start caring about the things that matter. Don't trust your government to know what is best for you. You demand that your government do what is best for you. Start by not believing everything they want to spoon feed you through the conventional media. Our whole lives are controlled by all these things that don't mean squat! We are addicted to tobacco, alcohol, sugar, pharmaceuticals, and nutritionally void foods. Instead of occasional treats or aids toward wellness, they are the very things that have driven us to perpetual physical illness. Our blood has become so acidic that we are now hosts to once nonexistent diseases and syndromes. We scratch our heads and wonder why our children are overweight and constantly tired and sick. I recently saw where a high school opened its campus to a popular food chain to feed their students, while doing away with the traditional school cafeteria. What was the reason why? Well, it was because the kids preferred it. I'm sure it had nothing to do with revenues, and certain it had nothing to do with insuring our children's nutrition. When I was in school, a child from an oppressed home life was at least guaranteed two nutritious meals a day. Today, even the wealthiest students aren't guaranteed nutrition, or perhaps even taught about it in school. We are creating more and more dependencies, and dependency equals slavery.

Take a look at your paycheck. Its not right that you give a third of your paycheck to run the government. Go ahead throw your hard earned cash out the window, because Uncle Sam says that is the price for freedom. If I had an accountant like Uncle Sam, I'd fire him. I whisper in your ear, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T! There is a watchdog organization that monitors Pork Barrel spending by the U.S. government every year. The pocket padding and needless spending at your expense in 'Pork' alone is inconceivable. I can assure you that the government doesn't shop at Wal-Mart. Here's the simplified version of how it works. If you have less money you are more dependent. The same is true with free time. Both available income and free time are shrinking every year. You spend less time with the kids that already don't know you, because you and your spouse literally take two steps forward and two steps back, every single day of your working lives! Bureaucracies are lying to you. The government can't even balance their own checkbook! If you or I couldn't balance our own checkbooks, they would throw us in jail or some federal pen. Keep in mind that Congress recently gave themselves another fat pay raise to go with numerous preexisting lifetime benefits, while some of our underpaid soldiers' families are still using food stamps. If their spouse dies in combat or on duty, they aren't even awarded enough money to bury them, yet the families of the tragically killed victims of September 11^th, 2001 might receive lifetime settlements amounting into the millions. I am not claiming that they don't deserve this, but our soldiers, firemen, and cops volunteer to go into harm's way. Are risking their lives worth nothing? Victims of terrorism are just that, unsuspecting victims. It could happen to any of us at any time, and what occurred on 9-11 was certainly nothing less than a national tragedy.

Read people! Don't let yourself be controlled by media hype, deep pocketed special interest groups, and politicians that care more about doing favors for contributors, than making sure your interests are carried out in Washington. When you smell a rat expose it. Keep yelling until everyone sees it. Don't believe it every time the government can't or won't tell you what's going on, by their redundant and blanket excuse of National Security. Read books like None Dare Call It Conspiracy, The Crimes of a President, Rule by Secrecy and a slue of others that I'll suggest to you. You don't have to believe it all. I certainly don't, but you will start to see a lot of truths. Nothing is all black and all white. The grays will cast enough doubt to rattle you back into reality, and from the coma you've been living in all these years. On November 22, 1963, the American people got to see their President's head blown off on national television. They ignored mounds of eyewitnesses, falsified medical reports, silenced (killed) dozens of implicated individuals with supposed accidents and deaths by natural causes over a 20 year period, and formed an actual commission to give you a canned version of the assassination that you bought. It wasn't too many years ago, that another official commission revisited the controversies (due to a number of Americans that wouldn't lose sight of the truth) and determined that there was most likely a conspiracy. If this is true, what are we waiting for? Let's dig him up, if he is really buried there and send him to a crime lab. This time let's keep an eye on him 24/7 till we get the results. Film the damn thing live, like the OJ trial. Let's open those sealed records and get some answers instead of waiting the Warren Commission's required 75 years. That of course, would allow time for all involved in the assassination and cover-up to die. If keeping the silence for as long as possible or possibly forever was so important, wouldn't that make you the least bit curious? Does it have anything to do with where we have arrived today? The obvious guess, if I could just pull that nipple out of your mouth long enough for you to pay attention, is yes! I've read a lot of things on Jack Kennedy. I've read he was a womanizer, that he had a venereal disease, Addison's disease, was a drug addict due to horrible back pain, and exercised nearly every human vice a man could muster. But, you know, JFK was who the voters chose to be their President, though his victory (over Dick Nixon) raised questions of vote tampering in Illinois. Sounds like Bush / Gore, doesn't it? The point is John F. Kennedy didn't deserve execution.

On November 22^nd, 1963, a young woman stood in terror and silence for hours in front of a nation with her husband's blood and brains all over her pink suit. On that day she witnessed, first hand, ultimate power. At that time, she wondered if her own children were safe in the hands of the Secret Service. No doubt she was instructed by the powers that be, on what she needed to do, say, and how to act. It's no wonder she hid away, under the protection of a Greek shipping magnate until her children were grown. A part of our country died that day, as well as a big hunk of our freedom. The cattle truck is coming, and one day you'll be asked to lift your head from your grazing and climb aboard. What will your gut tell you then, besides the fact that it is too late?
