The Prize of the Dance of Ages

2011-07-23T18:21:00.000-07:00

Oh, how it grows.
Nursing from its mothering soil,
through wooden arms.
Ripe for the wanderer,
wise enough to choose smartly.
The apple tastes sweetest, freshly picked,
that instant, before the brown forms
around the bite.
Before the slow rot that brings
the scavenger and its eggs.

One should cherish
that first flavor, that first witness
and seize the essence, the birth
of an idea, the passion of a revolution,
or the innocence of new love.
Savor that moment,
and remember the prize won
from the Dance of Ages.
Paradise is a shiny penny
whose likes become unrecognizable,
as it passes through a million pockets,
or lay waste in the crack of a sidewalk.

As it should be, at least
on this cosmic speck,
that we live on a world that turns,
where piercing light casts away darkness,
only to be enveloped by it at days end.
Aren’t the sweetest moments upon waking,
and later slipping unwittingly to sleep?
And all the rest between, a changing sky
that stands still for no man.

Nobility’s demise,
began at the picking.
Its first bite, delightful and
pleasing to the wanderer,
instead of dying on the branch
or falling quick to the mercy
of the bird or the worm; but rather
an instance of pure glory and fading.
Oh, the lucky wanderer.
Oh, the fortunate fruit.
Oh, what a wonderful,
yet fatal moment.

Our Constitution: God, Religion and the American Citizen

2011-07-23T17:29:00.000-07:00

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

To understand our Constitution and the Bill of Rights that ratified it, one might also want to have (at-the-least) an elementary education of early American history. Many times attorneys, lawmakers, and even Supreme Court Justices pick and choose what they want from this document in order to support their 'legal' arguments. In not studying the framers of this divinely inspired work, and in losing sight of the history leading up to its drafting, much speculation has been left to broad interpretation. Ironically, haters of our most sacred civil document have had the freedom to study law, and perhaps rise to become Supreme Court Justices who have the unique opportunity to undermine the Constitution by their own misled interpretations and influence. In the opinion of this writer, the clear intent of our founding fathers as expressed in our Constitution has long been under attack by those who favor freedom-killing ideologies and elitist run governments that would eventually eliminate the influence or will of the individual citizen.

The more modern tactic of 'deconstruction' has been used against nearly all our hallowed institutions, national heroes and documented history, in order to systematically erode or minimize their 'greatness' by judging our founding father's deeds, opinions, and spiritual beliefs from standards which have evolved into our modern day rather than understanding them within their proper place in time. Many will degrade the legitimacy of this cornerstone document by pointing to certain injustices like slavery and inequality, and that this alone should somehow nullify all wisdom, all judgments, and all actions of the nearly exclusive, white, male, English, Christian influence that laid the foundation for all that would come after. I have always seen the Constitution as a living/evolving document, and its accompanying Bill of Rights as its personal contract or promise with its people. This document is our political or 'civil' Bible, and like our Judeo-Christian Bible that unmistakably influenced it, it need be our reference to freedom, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

The American Civil War was a pivotal point in the destiny of our nation as well as our precious freedom giving Constitution. Though 'conceived' in the Liberty of the Revolutionary War, it is arguable that we were 'born' from a most difficult birth of a Civil War. So moved by the battle at Gettysburg, where brother slaughtered brother, Abraham Lincoln eluded to the intentions of our founding fathers and the documents that would pioneer our future through his Gettysburg Address of November 1863. By its end in 1865, the Civil War would claim over half-million American servicemen and citizens. Many thousands more surviving servicemen and civilians would live the rest of their lives with burns, scars, broken & missing limbs, and traumatic memories of that war. The states would be united again, despite the smoldering angst of a defeated and scorched South, and the war's most noted casualty; an assassinated President Lincoln. Lincoln surmised at Gettysburg, “that this nation – under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that a government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” What great sacrifice, and testament to the will of our forefathers and the Constitution they penned in order that a growing nation 'of, by, and for' its people would not disappear from the planet. Not just under the laws of these visionary men, but also under the sometimes misunderstood laws bestowed by God.

God just keeps getting in way doesn't He? It's irritating to many, who would gladly view our nation's lawful document as obsolete. God is so ingrained in the foundation of our country that He is often confused with the term 'religion', or better; how we 'choose to worship' God. That was the tipping point for the framers of the Constitution. I don't think there was ever a doubt in any of the founding fathers' minds that there was a God, or that God had a hand in the architecture of their nation building. On the contrary, God in the broadest sense is in our courts of law, our pledges, oaths, guiding documents, currency and building structures of our nation's capitol as well as in every city and state of the Union. There is a big difference between not respecting or showing favor to any 'religion' and not respecting or paying homage to God in its relationship to the will and actions of our founding fathers. There is no doubt that this nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and values. It was also established that with this government by the people, we would not infringe upon religion. This is an equally important note that we'll explore later. So, the notion stands that our government should not favor religion nor interfere with religious practice as long as it doesn't conflict with the common rights of each individual American citizen. In simple terms, church and state should steer clear of injecting their particular morality or ideological doctrine on the non-conformer, though the acknowledgment of God's presence is undeniably clear within the Constitution.

Quite often we have wrongly interpreted our 'separation of church and state' to mean 'separation of God and state'. God has been the aggregate, so-to-speak, in the foundation of our nation's concrete. To take Him out of the equation or dig Him out of the mix, serves only to dismantle the elements our forefathers put forth that assured the protection 'of the people' no matter how they interpret or worship God, or if indeed, they choose to acknowledge His existence at all. In America, one can praise God or the 'wonder of the universe' through their own intellect, science, Christ, Muhammad, Abraham, Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Billy Graham, David Koresh, or countless others. Only Judeo-Christian (Western) nations, however, reciprocate the acceptance and tolerance of alternative forms of worship in the world today. Yet, in these modern times, Christians and Jews are still violently persecuted, imprisoned and murdered by the dominant religions or oppressive ideologies of other nations. Free will is granted by God. Whether He directs, commands, guides, or influences can be of no consequence to those who choose not to believe in God. In America, God grants them that right. If they find that 'religion' offends or restricts them in some way in their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness then that can easily be addressed. One's manner in 'worship of God' (aka,religion), will not trump our government's fairness to its citizenry as assured in our Constitution. One's method of worship (or lack of) does not exclude any member of any religion or ideology from the benefits or consequences of government law. In the event of criminal or discriminatory acts, the shroud of the U.S. government and its subsequent laws that we all live under as Americans, must take precedent above all or we could not co-exist among each other in any kind of harmony.

God is a higher order than ourselves. Whether perceived as the Sun, a bearded man in the sky, an ominous force of light, or unconceivable trove of knowledge, it is still better to seek divine guidance than to trust the faulty bias of men. Our government needs to be wise like Solomon in order to keep some semblance of order. How do we please everyone? We have to implore fairness, consistency, and a whole lot of wisdom. As we evolve as a nation, problems will arise. Conflicts will occur. We must define what we aspire Americans to be. Just as we know that light separates itself from darkness, so too must we separate ourselves from what we are and what we aren't. We must be willing to accept others under this cloak of basic, common likeness in order that each citizen may pursue happiness. However, we must recognize that our founding fathers placed a somewhat ominous God at the very base their fledgling empire. The founder's collective wisdom recognized the supremacy of God without reverence to any one particular religion, which assured equal protection to all houses of worship. By default, it is also compliant for those who hold to no theology. Think of it as a lunch special. You get a hamburger for $2.35 everyday, but today, between 1 pm and 3 pm you get a hamburger, French fries and a soft drink for $2.35. You say you don't want the fries and the soft drink? Okay then, don't consume them. You say that you are offended by them being served to you? Tough luck, you've been denied nothing. Offer it to the lonely guy having coffee in the booth beside you. Don't feel like being generous? That's quite alright, because you have the right to be frumpy in a nation founded on a broad acknowledgment of God.

Here's a good example to examine. Gay marriage and heterosexual marriage aren't matters of the government. Marriage is traditionally a religious rite. Even the most primitive and pagan religions ritually celebrated the union of a man and a woman as they would the seasons. Like the blessing of Spring, marriage gave forth the promise of family through new birth. Homosexuality is traditionally frowned upon by all major religions. Therefore, gay marriage through religious ceremony would be seen at best as being 'fruitless' and at worst, blasphemous. Unlike the U.S. government, religions and their many places of worship can be very prejudicial, bias, and even oppressive. One can be subjugated to dress codes, cast out completely, or shunned for not towing the line. Religion is a choice of each and every individual citizen in this 'free' country. Any American citizen can turn their back to religion and go their own way. Our government will and should protect the citizen from harmful or injurious religious recourse. (This may present problems for some Islamic religions/sects who don't separate church from state and practice in the U.S.) Our government cannot 'respect' one church over another, and has no business or say in religious rite be it pro-gay or anti-gay. It cannot stand with or against matters of religion.

The dilemma holds in that the 'institution of marriage', which was always a religious rite and exclusively heterosexual, was 'adopted' by our government's legal system. Gay rights are a relatively recent expression of liberty that has been allowed to flourish openly in a free Western society. Gay people are citizens in our country regardless of their sexual preferences be it derived innately, through learned behavior, or experimentation. Gay pride, the open unashamed celebration of gayness, may be frowned upon by religions and the majority of churches in a number of denominations, but the government cannot legislate religious doctrine. What they can do is protect homosexual's right to be gay. A citizen of the U.S., is a citizen no less. The government didn't foresee that gay people would unite and rise up, much less, want to enjoy the religious rite of marriage. Despite 'progressive' states, legislators, advocates, and PACs championing gay causes, it is still not the government's place to weigh in on matters of religious practice. The government has only one choice. It must purge marriage from their legal system and lawful terminology or fear it being at odds with religious favoritism and/or impeding religious practice. From this day forward, any couple gay or straight that wants protection, privilege, and legal recourse under U.S. Law and/or state law must fill out a legal document of intended civil union. Any marriage once recognized by the government (gay or straight) prior to the enactment of government sanctioned civil unions will be honored. After enactment of this new law, only 'civil unions' will be recognized in the place of the term 'marriage' within the United States and its territories. States will carry on their unique rules and regulations dealing with the courts, divorce, and property with 'civil unions' as they had with the term 'marriage'. Anyone, gay or straight who wishes to have a Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Wiccan, Occult or other type of religious rite of marriage may seek it out. That religion, denomination, or sect can perform their particular ritual or nuptials as they believe within their faith, while others can stand stead forth against it. This is equal treatment for all, and falls under the government's responsibility to treat all citizens the same. Religion will be left to their own devices, and their particular belief systems can remain intact. The sanctity of 'marriage' will safely be at the disposal of each couples' place of worship. They will unite under deity, doctrine, and the exclusive rites demanded by each religion and those congregations that will be accepting them. Spiritually, all will get their 'wedding' if they choose to seek it. There are places of worship that have no bias toward homosexuality. Under United States law, gays will have the same 'civil union' rights as heterosexuals. Marriage will remain a ritual and there forward hold no legal ramifications recognized by the state. Church and state will have no further reason to mingle upon the subject. Synagogues have been doing a reverse form of this for years, and I have experienced this first hand. While the state (government) has used the marriage license as a legal document, many Jews that wed sign a separate document recognized exclusively by the Synagogue as 'the legal' Jewish marriage. This was the type of common sense used wisely by King Solomon and perhaps other men of knowledge, philosophy, spirituality, and leadership. The 'marriage vow' and 'purpose of marriage' is before God, and recognized among those who witness it or hold the same religious community believes. How God judges that rite, their witnesses, and religious community of like believers is not the duty of government monitors in a free-will society. This, however, cannot imply that the interpretation of such rites cannot be judged by the beliefs and practices of other religions, sects, and denominations where the government is equally non monitoring. The government can only referee the extent of that judgment when it goes beyond protest or statement, and then must interject itself wisely or risk showing favor to one religion over another.

I must personally contend, however, that the gay movement's zeal for equal rights of marriage seems to have had less to do with legal benefits, lawful distribution of estates, and properties accrued from gay unions or partnerships and more about acceptance. It appears to have been more of a ploy to force their own will upon unrelenting religious establishments that have long enjoyed separation from government intervention, and their heartfelt belief that homosexuality is an abomination to God or nature. Government cannot and must not legislate morality. Their moral duty is to assure that every citizen is extended equal privileges under the established laws of the land, while also guarantying it will not show favor toward or interfere with religion. That is quite a balancing act, and not one that sets well with those who have deference with one of just a few things that government can neither govern nor fully control. As unsavory as it might seem, government can't force personal acceptance. Hate, though despicable, is a right of expression. The government can't force people to like each other, and as we have witnessed throughout the years, they can barely achieve orchestrating basic tolerance for one another. We have the right to loathe someone for any reason, no matter how ridiculous. Only when that hate, intolerance, or loathing goes beyond thinking, stating, or shouting in protest can the law of the land begin to intervene in order to protect the citizen.

What I take from the Constitution of the United States is certainly debatable, but not profoundly steeped with personal opinion. Any fool that can read and reason, can see the obvious intent of our forefathers written all over this sacred (to me) document. From the over sized, 'We The People' to the insistence of a Bill of Rights before ratification of the Constitution, our founders expressed their intended will for citizenry, government and religion, as well as the relationship that would exist among them. When taken in its entirety, their vision is much less ambiguous than we sometimes care to make it. Secularists, a relatively new breed of Darwinian evolutionary opinion as far as interpretation of the Constitution goes, often poop on any reference to God since 'God' is not literally spelled out or mentioned within the document. This is mistakenly translated that our founding fathers wanted to leave God out of the Constitution, which is an absurd and baseless deduction. Interestingly, there was one state supreme court in 1915 that referenced, “in the year of our Lord” from the Constitution as giving credence to Jesus Christ which to Christians is synonymous to 'God in the flesh'. Therefore, 'our Lord' was an acknowledgment in passing of God in the Constitution that seemingly escaped the 'editors' censorship, which again is utterly ridiculous. Atheism certainly existed at the time of the Constitution, however they would have entertained thoughts more closely aligned with 'creationism' rather than the much later Darwinian influenced 'secularism'. Other arguments for God within the Constitution also abound, as this excerpt below states:

The mistake modern secularists make is obvious. They take a twentieth century concept like "secularism" and read it back into the Constitution. They take a concept that didn't even exist in the eighteenth century and attribute it to the framers of the Constitution. Unfortunately, this is a very common mistake. The fact that the word "God" does not appear in the Constitution means little. It is actually a rather shallow observation. The reality is "God" is in every word of the Constitution, including the punctuation. Below the surface of the words in the Constitution, there are a mountain of ideas that made its formation possible. The belief that God exists and that all nations of the world are subject to Him sits on the summit of that mountain. As the Supreme Court of Florida said in 1950: "Different species of democracy have existed for more than 2,000 years, but democracy as we know it has never existed among the unchurched. A people unschooled about the sovereignty of God, the ten commandments and the ethics of Jesus, could never have evolved the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. There is not one solitary fundamental principle of our democratic policy that did not stem directly from the basic moral concepts as embodied in the Decalogue and the ethics of Jesus . . . No one knew this better than the Founding Fathers."

What were Americans supposed to become in the minds of our forefathers? Well, first and foremost, they believed that something divine was at work here. They believed that their union of present states had a destiny to fulfill, and they were right. They believed that all men were created equal, though it took a while for God to reveal that such an equality truly extended to 'all mankind'. If God or the notion of something greater than man had been absent from our Constitution, what would have created the conscience or awareness for true equality? The answer to that question is nothing, of course. There could have been only weak rebellion quashed by domination, death, perhaps extinction, or certainly more oppression. Remember, this is a living document of divine inspiration that human hands penned, and mortal minds concocted with great deliberation. Our founders' words and ideas would resound far beyond their time and ring freedom throughout the world. Therefore American's can be said to be inspired by a higher order than themselves, yet comfortably live in the arms of such an order even if they don't believe in it or are not inspired by it. American's reap what they sow, and though the fortunes have been great, the misfortunes have come with great cost. As a nation, we have suffered with the poor choices we have made. We've made mistakes that only God can truly forgive, and by His grace I believe He has brought beauty from our ugliness. What man corrupts, God or nature, if you will, finds a way to balance, refashion, restore or create new.

American's in general are blessed by God, not chosen by Him. God does His own choosing in His own time. American's at their best, are contagious examples of liberation, individuality and innovation. The reasonable latitude of freedom (free will) experienced in America has spawned generations of creativity. American's are dreamers, who make things where nothing appeared to exist, and then invite those who dream less to share in its success. American's know that such freedom leaves the door wide open to those who envy and despise personal liberty. Like everything in Heaven and on the Earth, freedom will cycle. It will be born of difficult labor, thrive in its naive youth, ache with pains in its old-age, and then certainly die. Ron Reagan envisioned America as a 'Shining City on the Hill'. Its light has drawn people from everywhere who are wanting to experience its great beacon of prosperity. All of this began with a notion of a government 'Of the People, By the People, and For the People'. It has never been perfect, but certainly inspired toward perfection. It has not always been timely, but in time it has justly arrived. So far, it has been the best plan conceived by man to live in greater numbers, while enjoying greater wealth, expressing greater freedom, and experiencing greater health than anywhere on the Earth. Freedom, free-will and liberty, however, are very delicate and can dissolve in an instant. That is the burden of our Constitution. It must deliberate wisely, amend justly, and evolve slowly in order that it not collapse under the periodic changes of Godless leadership, ideological trends, sudden injustice or just plain ignorance.

ILLUMINATI

2011-06-13T20:29:00.000-07:00

In the beginning there was stalemate,
static stares both Yin and Yang,
across a Masonic floor.
Geometric laws, steeped in squares of black and white
And pieces just the same, yet
placed by caste, righted by blood, and
guided by the stars in a dark universe.
Battling for their gods, an unseen spirit hand
pitting one against the other at the flip of a coin,
or the draw of a short straw.
And so the drama plays, a script of strategies.

For the inching Grunt there is no retreat,
trudging forward, except to kill
or die in place. Expendable.
Agents lunge at right angles from Holy Places,
as Fortresses plow mercilessly back and forth,
side to side. Crushing.
A Stalking Spy wields his death askance,
upon a sneaky steed. Stealthy.
Even Liberty, a most valiant illusion,
must sacrifice her endless fruits,
to protect the Feeble Genius, always
one step from his demise. Coward.

When treachery comes calling, he’ll fall,
not to any worthy piece, but to a subject
of a crown more cunning than his own.
Victory for now has tipped the scale.
A settled score, the spoils of which
are hidden knowledge and untold riches.
At battle’s end the gods may roll a sigh
of smoke, and chuckle while clasping hands
in a familiar grip of brotherhood,
above a field of heroes, traitors, and sacrificial lambs.

The Glenn Beck Sacrifice

2010-08-01T22:21:00.000-07:00

8-2-2010
The New World Order has spoken. Glenn Beck will be their next choice in sacrificial martyrdom. I like Beck. He reminds me of Gary Cooper in Meet John Doe. He possesses all the right stuff for general public likability. His cherubic face, emotional vulnerability, and dogged patriotism are only upstaged by his admitted flaws. He’s the comeback kid. He’s a wacky, lovable conservative who finally looked beyond his own personal political beliefs to search for the truth about everything. He’s discovered that the truth has always been there staring us in the face. The information has always been available, but no one until now has been able to articulate and map out the weave of conspiracy as Beck has done. This is true in part because he has been allowed to do what others have been ridiculed for in the past. It is no accident that Beck is carrying the torch. The time is ripe and the Order is ready to pick. Let’s not forget that there is a network behind Beck and perhaps a dozen other influential hands stacked in succession behind the network (as with any network). Beck like Cooper in John Doe is a creation of a bigger machine. And, like Doe, he is none the wiser of it. It all just came to light naturally, right? I think not. All the sudden, all this unknown information is coming forth, exposing socialistic plots that threaten America as we know it. Finally, there is some credibility behind much of the theory once scorned as unfounded ridiculous conspiracy. Its growing public acceptance can indicate only one thing. The Order is preparing for the beans to be spilt. They’re ready for their new creation, but they have to get the butterfly fully out of the molting caterpillar first. The old skin they had created in the past has done the job it was intended to do, and their new creature is nearly ready to emerge. They are turning up the heat among all the ‘dueling ideologies’ they’ve initiated throughout time. While Beck and others predict a sort of conservative renaissance, the New World Order is engineering more of a ‘Culling’. It is not only going to be different than we think here in the good’ ole USA’, but I suspect the entire world is going to feel this one. However, back to Beck for now, shall we?

There would not be a Tea Party in my humble opinion, had there not been Glenn Beck. ‘Order chosen’ Beck has blazed a number of independent little causes that have single handedly botched and exposed far left-wing activities and brought them to national attention. The sleeping giant is finally waking, and Beck has been the one ringing the breakfast bell. He is the thorn in the side of the Obama agenda, a careless liberal Congress, the Progressive movement, and perhaps even the Red Scare in America today. His migration from CNN’s HLN ‘test tube’ to the only liberal news opposition in American media, Fox News, was a logical and strategic move by network executives. But Beck doesn’t see the Order’s genius as I do, or that it is indeed the cat that is letting the cat of the bag. He wants to believe that the pendulum swings only so far one way before it charges swiftly back, and he is partly right. However, he doesn’t appreciate that it was the Order that built this particular clock in the first place. This is where Beck and I may differ, but we’re not so far apart in our world outlook and future predictions. The end results are clear to both of us. I have certainly watched Beck and others lean toward views and ideas long held by me and my own literary mentors. My webmaster at Levelheaded Bob contends that our website/blog is being ‘mined’ periodically by Beck’s researchers at Fox. Beck now seems to be parroting a few ideas long predicted by this writer. The most recent is that it will be the ‘extremes of each ideology’ that will set things off so-to-speak. I will add further, as I have said before, that such an action will spark the ‘prison mentality’ and will pretty much drown out any good that ever came out of the Civil Rights movement. Unfortunately, race will determine trust first and foremost in our future, followed then by ideology, religious belief and lastly one’s character. The pendulum has swung as far to the left as it is going to go by its own momentum. The snap back always drags along upheaval.

In Apocalypse Now, which was a Vietnam knock-off of Conrad’s, Heart of Darkness, there was a great line from Colonel Kurtz to Captain Willard. Willard was the commando who was sent to terminate the Colonel ‘with extreme prejudice’. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) asks Willard (Martin Sheen) “Are you an assassin?” Willard answers, “I’m a soldier.” Kurtz tersely corrects him by saying, “You’re neither… You’re a errand boy, sent by grocery clerks… to collect the bill.” Kurtz knew the madness had gone too far, and that Willard was his salvation. The Colonel allows Willard the opportunity to kill him during a parallel ‘ritual sacrifice’. Sheen becomes the ‘changed’ one in the process, though he dutifully carried out the mission given to him by his ‘grocery clerks’ at the Pentagon. The irony was that the ‘clerks’ on down were all U.S. Army service men in cahoots to kill one of their own officers. Colonel Kurtz had gotten out of step with the ‘larger objective’. Even more ironic, was that none of these military men at their own levels of authority knew what the bigger picture for Vietnam was destined to be. Like Sheen’s character, they were just ‘soldiers’ following orders, and trusting those in command above them to act justly and in the best interest of America. In the end, it was Kurtz that had ‘Been to the Mountain Top’ and feared nothing anymore. He lie dying from his accepted wounds repeating his witness to what had become of any trace of civilization and humanity, “The horror, the horror.”. Knowing was his consolation, and realizing that he was a mere prop in a big game, Kurtz had directed his own demise and by the grace of Willard, somehow made the world right again.

Like Kurtz, Beck may end up being a tragic figure, but let’s hope not. He too, is a prop, selected for all those wholesome qualities I mentioned in the first few sentences of this essay. Beck is taking ancient cyclical prophecy (I might argue it to be more a type of parable wisdom) and identifying all its present day players. He is systematically exposing all the coming scenes in this modern version of an age-old screen play which occurs over and over through the histories of mankind. I recently saw a magazine that noted that ‘The Right is the New Left’. How trendy? It is like fashions changing. It is amazing how the Order can take the noble and corrupt them over time, while taking the corrupt upward to nobility over the same amount of time. We know that within our own American history, socio-political figures have been used until their usefulness was fully exhausted. After that they either retire quietly with little comment, or somehow end up in ruin or death from scandal and assassination. The Order even gets more bang for their buck (no pun intended) if they can murder you and then use your memory for decades in martyrdom. The Kennedy’s are good examples of this as well as Martin Luther King. The Kennedy’s had disrupted the ‘Big Plan’ for America and become too unpredictable during a crucial point in history for the Order’s agenda. The Kennedy’s hubris didn’t allow them to see that the president of the United States wasn’t the influence that dictates world doctrine. I wonder when Obama will realize he is a prop as well. Many of these figures become so full of themselves that they actually start believing their own bullshit. They want to believe they have earned their place through their own fruition, while ignoring that they were selected like choice leaves of tobacco by skilled cigar makers. Obama really ate up the whole ‘first president of color thing’ didn’t he? He’s just what the Order required for the times. They needed him in office to further their agenda. Not a socialist agenda or ‘Yes We Can’ kind of change, but a scorched-earth cleansing and rebirth kind of change that won’t resemble any ideology we in this country have yet experienced short of frontier justice. It is amazing how information that would have doomed Obama’s election is now being ‘allowed’ to freely pour from every imaginable crevice and now causing Independent voters the feeling of being duped. Many have a sort of ‘buyer’s remorse’ over taking a chance on Obama. They should, he is a Karl Marx incarnate; but fear not, the Order nurtured Marx as well as the Rothschild’s, Rockefeller’s, Morgan’s, Harriman’s and other capitalists. Two riders on one horse, order from chaos, and the fact that opposition creates while stagnancy does nothing, might well be the battle cry of the true New World Order. I’ve begun to learn and appreciate this intellectually over time, though it is morally disturbing.

Will August 28th 2010 be a memorable date for history? Glenn Beck is certainly hoping so, as well as many Tea Party conservatives & independents. It is being promoted as a possible tender box of trouble, with far left liberals, crooked union tactics, and Black Panthers possibly trying to taunt Tea Party participants into violent clashes at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. It seems logical that such an event will not be ignored by an opposition or that they will want some kind of negative action to come of it. Progressives can’t have Beck continuously soaring in popularity. The racist label liberals pinned on him hasn’t stuck, for by his side will be Martin Luther King’s niece and Christian minorities who agree with his revelations concerning the present administration. In honor and respect of King’s historic speech at the Lincoln Memorial, Beck will deliver his message several steps below that ‘sacred spot’. Is Beck in danger or is it the movement these opposing entities will try to kill through some form of underhanded chicanery aimed to discredit or hobble them? Only time will tell. Beck’s event will be treated like any other ‘good crises’ by left-wing radicals. As we’ve seen from the Obama camp, a crisis is an opportunity they would like to seize and manipulate. It might just be too irresistible to ignore. To Beck, this event will be the crowning jewel of passive resistance to Obama’s socializing of America. What scenario will be imposed to piss on Beck’s parade? I for one will sit back quietly and observe who does the urinating.

Lastly, I’ll leave my readers with this to ponder. I feel Beck is correct in his assessment of the Progressive Movement and that one of America’s most highly educated presidents, Woodrow Wilson, was among those who bought into its ideology. However, Wilson was neither ignorant of the power of the Order, nor was he a crony among them. He too was yet another powerful prop who was unwittingly manipulated by one of the Order’s many ideological snake oils. The Order must have its hand in all prevalent ideologies or it could not take control of their various influences. The Order would be unable to steer events that produce predictable outcomes. They also possess an age-old wisdom. The Order knows that mankind’s nature is tied to their passions, similar to the way one might hold allegiance to or be fanatic toward a favorite sports team. They know that the hearts of men are hungry for purpose, and the Order feeds them their endorsed ideologies. Opposition creates action, and the Order moves its pieces around the globe through every vice, tool, agent, and passion at their fingertips. For the small price of your soul, they might even make you feel you are one of them. But even a U.S president would be too vane to think he could go from being a simple marionette to an accomplished puppet master. Unlike modern progressive ideologues, notably Obama and the Clintons to name a few, Wilson seemed keenly aware of the dark looming influence of an invisible Order:

“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 Wilson’s book entitled, The New Freedom, in 1916.)

Invasion of the Mind Snatchers

2010-06-06T13:32:00.001-07:00

It lives stealthily within your home in plain sight. No matter its dimensions, it is capable of creating the way you envision the world. It has the ability to arouse your emotions, it is capable of springing you into action, of scolding you, sweet talking you, lying to you, telling you the truth, and selling you. If not critically dissected and appreciated, it can render you a blathering, hypnotically saturated zombie. There is good reason why it has long been called the ‘Boob Tube’. Television is the keyhole through which we view the world and how it is perceived. Television’s older blind cousin, the radio, is far less capable of producing the drooling idiots that are breeding today in front of the TV. Due to the individual power of the mind to create uniquely different visual impressions from audible stimuli, radio could not capitalize on the importance of ‘seeing to believe’. This made radio far less effective in controlling a listener’s thoughts, due to the visual and virtual deprivation of the other senses that our eyes tend to generate. If we are unable to grasp the magnitude of control that mediums like TV and radio have had on our lives, we will continue to be less like thinking human beings and more like potted plants. As we creep further down the path of the Information Age, we find ourselves electronically addicted to trivial Tweets, comedy news commentary, and the low decibel thump of crotch-grabbing downloads on our MP3’s. I recently witnessed two young girls seated at a booth at Steak-n-Shake, ‘texting’ each other from across their table without sound or expression. I can only guess that those physical mannerisms were included in their correspondence by the use of popular text icons. How did civilization sink to this level of ignorance? Look no further than the Idiot Box and its offspring, the PC, cell phone, iPod, and other ‘Pandora-type’ devices. Like unlocking the secrets of the atom or DNA, television and its spawn of newer gadgetry have clearly demonstrated their multitude of negative attributes. Of course prior to television there was the stage, and then the big screen cinema that could have had an equal effect on the mind, but those visual types were never occupying our dens, bedrooms, and living rooms 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Television is not inherently evil. It is a lot like a genie in a bottle that can grant you any number of wishes. One must be careful what they seek from television and its modern technical hybrids. Moreover, one must be careful of what television wants from you the viewer. Television panders to us morally, politically, and socially through presumed authorities, various documentaries, scheduled programming, lobbying celebrities, and network ownership that have their own individual or collective agendas to present to the viewer. Television is a propaganda machine that lives in your house and is abundantly equipped to cater to nearly every particular taste. It has literally hundreds of channels to reach your passion or ‘hot button’. As all my readers know, it is my belief that the controlling element of the New World Order is who sets the agenda for western media (perhaps even beyond). They stir the pot so-to-speak, adding a little something here and a dash of something there, churning the mix and testing the broth. It is a patient and loose conspiracy that builds their ark behind the scenes, and prepares their future from the blood and sweat of the intellectually deficient. Those poor souls have also been referred to by New World Order elitists as 'useless eaters’ in some conspiracy circles.

Many are certain that we are headed down the road to Socialism, but I’m beginning to think not. The propaganda doesn’t support the idea, though it is certain that our American political system has consistently moved left of center by both democrats and republicans throughout recent decades. The American people, however, are not mostly left-leaning and behave much more like a conservative, yet hibernating, grizzly bear. They are slow to agitate, but if prodded too carelessly, can turn savage in their wrath. This is due in most part to freedom and individuality having become part of our national DNA. Conservative Americans would have to be put down like rabid dogs in order to erase its memory from their will. This trait is still too useful to the Order to drive into extinction. In fact, it will eventually play into a major part of their plan. The media has long lost interest in mainstream America promoting nearly anything which is extreme. There is good reason from the standpoint of the Order. Change does not occur in stagnancy, it flourishes in opposition. It takes a cold front meeting a heated front to create stormy chaos. The outcome or change is the aftermath of that chaos. What is the change that the Order really wants? What is the clean slate or rebirth they stand to inherit to carry on into the future? Those at the top are not wholly greed-mongers. Their dedication can’t merely be driven by petty greed. They are not just agents of ancient banking families, brotherhoods, or fraternities concerned only with wealth and power. They are thinkers and planners that feel ordained by their superior intellect, hidden knowledge, or more likely their will to survive such chaos, as to control all aspects of the earth that nature will allow. To them ideas like sovereignty have always been a façade, world leaders and ideologies have been mere extensions of their will, and the globe has always been one big chess board to smartly navigate. They are the ultimate CEO managing the planet, its populations and resources. They were always likely to support both Capitalism and Communism until one or the other suited their agenda, there upon, tipping the scale to one side or the other. As the world changes and appears to be more united in solidarity and crumbling national borders, the Order will be more likely to support and encourage phantom terror to create a new ‘opposition’ or villain. There has to be an ‘us and them’, a good and evil, a right and wrong for the masses to continue to be manipulated. The sheep must believe there are wolves lurking around, or what good are shepherds and fluffy dogs to manage them? The television is their key to the door of your home and ultimately to the inside of your brain in order to inject their propaganda. It is our medicine, our teaspoonful of programmed stimuli to induce the predicted response. It need not be planned to a tee. It need only be implemented and nudged along. You put up a Kool-Aid stand, and the thirsty people walking by will spend their nickel. The bully will eventually wander by and demand his dollar from your earnings to provide for his ‘protection’, which in turn, funds his own corrupt enterprises. And by his reputation, that bully will be sought for services outside of the hood. It’s just that simple. The world is made up of shepherds, ankle biters, and a whole lot of sheep of varying degrees. Shepherds answer to bigger shepherds, small-time crooks answer to big-time crooks, and little sheep answer to bigger fatter sheep. There are countless models of this structure be they something as huge and legitimate as the United States Armed Forces or the lowest, drug peddling, punk gang in the Bowery. That is why I am so amused by those who claim that secrets can’t be kept, and vast conspiracies are a figment of a lonely paranoid mind or a product of mass hysteria. The evidence overwhelmingly doesn’t support such a fantasy.

Have you ever noticed the huge liberal/conservative news media gap? It is currently and literally one against many. Old timers like CBS, ABC, and NBC (I call them ‘the Majors’) are definitively liberal news outlets. Walter Cronkite, wrongfully deemed the ‘most trusted man in America’, was a New World advocate of the liberal variety. At best, he was a socialist molded by intellectual elites who ultimately play both ends of the world manipulation game. He was one of their impassioned left-wing tools that brought us our first hint of opinion-style media. We can all still hear President Johnson saying about the Vietnam War, “By God if we’ve lost Cronkite on this, then we’ve lost the entire country.” Since Cronkite’s retirement and recent death, it is now known that he openly hated national sovereignty, and satirically mocked the existence of God; so much for the ‘most trusted man in America’. May his memory rot in peace. Though ‘the Majors’ still reach a majority of those people who can perhaps only tune in to three or so television channels, cable has introduced us to a whole spectrum of opinion-based news. Cable, internet, and advanced cell phone technology have greatly expanded news coverage globally. Conservative radio has oddly captured and dominated opinion-news for right-wing America. I say odd because radio has not captured much of a left-wing audience. In fact, it has failed so miserably for liberals that they are calling for what I deem as censorship laws, or ‘fairness’ laws so as to ‘level’ the radio wave playing field. It is still a bit of a mystery to me why radio appeals to conservatives more than liberals. Radio seems a more ‘underground’ attempt toward reaching the masses. You are more intimately involved in the selection process with radio than you are with television. You are digging through all the junk to get to what you want to hear. It’s low tech and old fashioned, but effective. It’s great for in the car or the workplace. ‘The Majors’ had successfully pushed conservatism out of network television. Cable television (and the Order) saw this huge abandoned market and decided to make a conservative relief valve. No doubt the numbers must have indicated that a huge demographic weren’t interested in the left-leaning ideals that dominate most networks. Cable lovers are selective enough to choose the type of TV they like to watch, so it only made sense to invade and control that medium as well. Conservative talk radio evolved into visual programs like those that are offered on Fox News, and as it began to quickly dominate cable news an odd trend started. Usually when something works well on a network, other competing networks quickly chime in with similar spots to recapture ratings. Instead, the opposite seems to have occurred, and that was because New World leadership didn’t want control to get out of hand; at least not quite yet. I have argued that the majority of Americans are conservative in the way they live their lives and view their world. The far left liberal counter-culture needs much more support to avoid being consumed by conservatism. The poor and uneducated, minorities in particular, and special social interests like feminist groups, gays, and atheists have long been exploited by elitist’s New World agendas in order to create the opposition (as I explained above) to make things happen. They (the Order) quite literally are managing planetary change. They are doing a balancing act of earthly things within their control, and cosmic things that are totally out of their control. Unfortunately for the masses, they remain somewhat groggy to the cosmic things, and are easily manipulated by the earthly or social things that the Order is arranging. Therefore, instead of networks following suit with the huge numbers following Fox News, other news networks are trimming away any and all smidgens of left-wing opposition. CNN, who though left-leaning, seemed generally neutral in the past, severed any conservative allegiances by destroying Lou Dobbs and dropping Glenn Beck from their HLN experiment. Dobbs was openly against Illegal Aliens and outspoken about our porous southern border. Ironically, Beck is more popular than ever since joining the Fox crowd. Think of the numbers that followed him to Fox. Order controlled networks have also isolated their conservative ‘virus’ to one news station (Fox) and therefore not jeopardizing the general health of their more anemic liberal audiences. These folks are usually mainlined into neutral-to-left CNN or the comically-left MSNBC and equally reliable Comedy Central news parody with Jon Stewart. It is an obvious balance check. More conservatives equal one overall right-leaning network (Fox). Fewer liberals equal multiple left-leaning news sources and network programming (everybody else). It makes perfect sense, but the programming end is even more interesting than the news network end.

Network programs other than the news prove to be more complicated but equally interesting. Though many networks will take the hit for poor ratings to accommodate liberal viewers, they may hope to slip left-leaning views into news specials, sitcoms, documentaries, and celebrity hosted serials. Popular news specials usually involve big political topics like torture, our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the present healthcare debate. Left-leaning networks are creative but less honest in how the topic is presented. Camera angles, selective content, who is and who isn’t interviewed, along with a predetermined storyline help to shape the episode in the direction of the network’s opinion concerning the topic. Right-wing networks will usually try to compromise those same topics by later introducing opposing facts and previously edited details concealed by the left-wing networks. Both right and left-wingers are constantly teetering hither and yon putting out each other’s fires with new smothering investigations to win the confidence of their viewers. Before BET, networks had to face the fact that white America needed exposure to black America. I was a kid during the 60’s and 70’s in rural America so I remember the great ‘black orientation’. That’s what it was. White America had a range of views concerning once enslaved and long segregated blacks. The attitudes spanned from indifference to pure hatred. I will write about the white/black thing soon so I won’t get too deeply into it with this article, but television sitcoms of the 60’s & 70’s played a huge part in white America’s perception and acceptance of blacks and black (we now say Afro-American) culture. Regardless of what the majority of white America might have wanted to think about blacks or believe about blacks, it was the Order's provocation of the will of white Anglo media and government leadership that slowly introduced black America into primetime viewing. White America curiously tuned in to television sitcoms that showed blacks or portrayed blacks in ways they had rarely seen in film or heard about on radio. They were no longer just servants, dirt farmers, pimps or criminals, but side kicks, friends, and equals in ‘salt and pepper' team shows that defined the new modern ‘color blind’ America; or perhaps a more utopian dream of America. Salt and pepper turned to shows that actually became predominantly black, with a ‘token’ white guy (usually a klutz) that bungled and fumbled to fit in, and in most cases displayed white ignorance toward black American culture. They were lessons in blackness that whites could learn by watching. The same scenarios came in to play with ‘girl power’ sitcoms, and sitcoms introducing homosexuality and later starring gay men, lesbians, or perhaps even bisexuals. Television, with all its sitcoms, serials, advertisements, news flavors, game shows, video channels, and now the mind numbing stupidity of ‘Reality’ shows has been the key agent of propaganda used in Western culture to deconstruct (look it up) or minimize any figment of greatness that arose from it. We always puzzle over archeological finds of great ancient cities and wonder what befell them and what became of their great cultures and citizens. What did their people morph into, and what escaped with them in their memories since their fall? Perhaps some didn’t survive at all, or became part of a ‘genetic milkshake’ of which only a genotype could sort the origins.

While this purging of Western civilization was taking place, a false sense of world unity and peace began sprouting legs, but it was a short and desperate glimpse at an Elysium that was actually disguised as sudden and frightening change. The disguise, of course was bait intended to capture you. It was a lure of beautiful light in the murky quiet deep, dangling from the tail of a clever and hideous fish. But what may have seemed bad and even horrifying for you fed and prolonged the existence of the predatory creature that ‘hooked’ you. That sea monster can’t be perceived as evil; it was simply deceptive to its own benefit, and of course, your subsequent sacrifice. It’s that damned nature again doing what it does. The strong preying on the weak, the clever out foxing the moronic, the beautiful being deadly, the meek being many, and the powerful being few; ah, the brilliance and seeming cruelty of nature in balance. We often compliment her complexity and perfection by saying, “That’s nature taking her course.” However, we tend to pluck ourselves (humanity) from nature’s equation supposing we’re too brilliant to factor in her game. Perhaps it is because we think we are the only life form that understands her and thus should make mankind immune to her eternal balancing act. We accept some forms of death that nature bestows as ‘acts of God’, but what of superior men of knowledge or man-like entities that would prey upon normal men? Who’s to say that there aren’t human beings that possess a more superior knowledge of nature; men who know the condition of man in so much detail that they have patiently guided the human race throughout the ages? The proud lion doesn’t go about every second of his life slaughtering the animals around him. He’s not hungry or defending himself every moment of his life. However, he is a top predator. He follows the herds; he’ll strategize and stalk weakness while the flock moves as one consciousness. Those of the New World Order are no different than the lion. The greatest men of wealth remain obscure and do their biding through representatives that are less concerned with publicity. You see, the greatest men, the greatest predators do not possess the vices they manipulate in others. The lime light is for presidents and kings, industrialists and academics, celebrities and heroes. Predatory men of the Order help create all these vane men through their agents that do their bidding. They do this for money, through ideological servitude, or in dedicated discipleship of the predatory men they worship. Predatory men of the Order encouraged, nurtured, and have benefited from all forms of government, organized religions, fraternal brotherhoods, and every revolution that has nudged the world to change. They are still doing it, investing their wealth and influence to all sides of every issue. As I have said many times, they are masters at casting all into the pit. Setting ideology against ideology, country against country, race against race, and man against himself, are commonplace for the Order. All in due time though, the Order’s superior intellect chooses its own time and place. They are patient and sensitive to the pulse of nature and the daunting eternal gears of the universe. If the unfinished pyramid is truly a symbol of the Order, than that single capstone that completes it must be a conclusive intelligence. Perhaps it is a single entity? Perhaps it is Truth.

Once again, opposition begets chaos and chaos begets change. Seasons, times, and lives are in constant change because they are not linear. Change, at least in this universe or plane of existence is cyclical. Cyclical change is repetitive by nature. We are subjects of nature, no matter how much we think we can deny it. Our bodies die because we slowly age. However in that time, many of us enjoy infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and parenthood. Our genes go on, if we’re lucky, as our bodies eventually crumble into fertilizer. People are clever creatures with superior brains to all other life on this planet. In order to entrap mankind you must pander to their passions. Television (and like technology) is the pipeline for propaganda flow. What is flowing to the viewers is the correct drug needed for the appropriate behavior. However, all opposing ideologies are being mainlined with different prescriptions. The left-wing gets their injection of carefully spun news from various sources, as the right-wing sniffs out their own rendition of resources for their fix. Undecided junkies flip through the channels for their pill of ‘truth’ and often remain neutral essentially making them non-factors in the initial action. It will be the extremes of the left and right that will tip the balance scale of the human herd, and the predatory Order will assure that this will happen when the cosmos works to their advantage. Meanwhile the predator/s of mankind will timely cast their bacterial or viral plagues into the deteriorating social structure. Men will turn against each other first by ideological differences and near the end by clannish identifications of religious beliefs and most certainly by race. In the wake of all this horror, the top predatory men of the New World Order will emerge from their box seats appearing as saviors and establishing order with the full cooperation of the newly thinned flock. The Order sat back and let the masses massacre themselves and those left standing will likely be the strongest and craftiest to carry on new life. That is how nature works. The hardened dazed survivors will naturally look to those in the Order to lead them, and a new cycle will begin. The newly evolved gaggle, once again, no wiser to roll the Order played in the ‘necessary’ fall of mankind.

A Nation’s Fodder

A Nation's Fodder

It waits for the sting of love.
That crack of a crop
or the slap with an open hand,
that tells the mind it’s needed
to perform at a moment’s whim
the destiny of an ass.

A stall awaits, or a lonely tree
to anchor the burdened beast
when not disposed. A time
for oats if they remember,
or weeds within short lead,
should they be too busy and forget.

It bays sometimes at night
awakened by the silence
and lightened load, or perhaps
the burning need for strap
on toughened hide; its brain,
a perverse and desperate slave.

It longs for the sun, but mostly
for them. Where have they gone?
It is not a question, but a plea.
The beast knows only its breeding.
It doesn’t ask, nor does it want.
It simply begs to be beaten.

- M.R. Behr

Foreseen or Fore-Planned

2009-12-07T20:45:00.000-08:00

I recently watched a program on cable that claimed that Jesus Christ’s mission on earth was not unique. It trivialized the teachings of Christ by suggesting that Jesus was merely copying or emulating the acts of the executed warrior king, Simon, some one hundred years before Christ’s birth. The evidence relied heavily upon a single Hebrew letter from a phrase inscribed in ink on the face of an ancient stone slab. Ink on stone, I might add, is also unusually rare. If I remember correctly, it was an archangel that demanded from the stone writing that the slain Simon rise on the 3rd day from his death by execution. The ‘Rosetta-type’ stone, if correctly deciphered, would somehow implicate that Christ was plagiarizing in a more peaceful way, what Simon had attempted to accomplish by military means. I fail to understand the desperation, however, in pointing out these ‘uncanny’ similarities. In reality there is nothing uncanny or unusual about the similarities at all. Perhaps this is because the program and its producers were grossly misinformed about ancient history, myth, legend, and it’s repetitive nature. The great modern historian, Professor Jesse Rufus Fears, often stated that “The lesson that we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history”. The notion that much of anything in the realm of history or legend that we learn from antiquity is somehow unique is nearly laughable.

Let’s take knowledge for instance, and assume that the advent of the printing press was responsible for a ‘canonized education’ for the masses in the same way that the modern factory in the past century was capable of producing a Model T for every American family. Today, this same yet more politically correct method of (institutionalized) learning could also be filling our brains with propaganda, and that old black Model T has become a mere prototype of what now comes in every conceivable configuration and color. The arrogance that anything in history has not already been tested, copied, improved upon, or repeated in some fashion is dubious. We know that there have been civilizations and writing that have appeared overnight with no apparent evolution or archeological bone yard beneath their ruins. We insist it to be myth that the ancients piloted aircraft or navigated the entire globe in ancient ships. Our canonized schooling tells us that that must be impossible, and our hubris does not allow us to look beyond our own restricted, carefully gleaned, propagandized educations of which we trust more than our eyes or experience. We know exactly what we have been allowed to know, and occasionally are adventuresome enough to think beyond those bounds until of course we bear our throats to academic ridicule. Before knowledge was shared in mass print, which we believe to have occurred only once in man’s history, the keepers of that knowledge were those few with higher training, privileged access, or formal education. Let’s not mince thoughts here; we know who had control of the knowledge. They were the equivalent of what we would call clergy; the cloistered ‘scientific’ men of religion and philosophy. Since these people weren’t using their backs to make a living, they had to be funded by an elite leadership or supplied by dedicated followers who allowed them the luxury of contemplation instead of the hardship of physical labor. We could go ‘The Chicken or The Egg’ route of how all that began but I find it safe to conclude at the least that knowledge was in possession of those who were in the ‘have’ category. The ‘have nots’ hung on to the enlightened ones’ every word. Knowledge is and has always been synonymous with power, at least as long as there were few in possession of it.

We all recall the story of Prometheus. Prometheus pitied the condition of man so he conspired to steal fire from the altar of Zeus and gave it to mankind. Zeus was angered and bound Prometheus to a rock where his liver would be eaten upon daily by a bunch of buzzards. Being immortal himself, Prometheus’ liver would regenerate and the cycle of agony and sacrifice would continue for an eternity. Myths, as well as other religious writings contain a lot of allegory and dual meaning (see the ‘Janus’ article). As a symbol, fire has had many meanings. While it certainly made life easier and more comfortable for man, flame has also been widely recognized as knowledge. Prometheus’ gift included a Pandora’s Box/Jar of sorts. Knowledge is a ‘total’ package. It is equally as dark as it is light. Prometheus appears to have sacrificed his own comfort to liberate mankind in order to help him find ‘truth’ by the only means available. Knowledge, like the ‘double-edged sword’ of fire that Prometheus acquired for man, is a risky highway. It is, however, the only avenue toward truth. What worthy God/god would keep truth from man, if truth truly sets you free? Prometheus, a god himself, seemed to struggle with that thought, much in the same way perhaps that Abraham Lincoln wrestled with the justification of slavery. These little dramas that we call myths were not solely intended for entertainment. They were bits of wisdom that tantalized the uneducated mind to ration or make logic of ones place in the world, while the same demanded that the educated mind delve even deeper for meaning. Likewise, parables were micro-fables or phrases that contained huge amounts of knowledge and/or truth according to one’s own ability to conceive them. The fact that stories get recycled are as predictable and natural as the turning of the seasons. To quote M.R. Behr concerning the advancement of mankind, “The Spirit carries us forward while everything else follows along, spinning in circles.”

Christ copying from Simon could have been a contrived plan, perhaps a rare occasion of someone learning from history, or even an arbitrary accident. Simon was summonsed to rise in three days, as was Lazarus, and so too, Jesus. There must be something to this whole ‘three-day rising’ thing. It is like the virgin birth thing, the December 25th thing, and so many others that Christ had in common with Alexander the Great. That is because these similarities likely held significance in previous ancient cultures; but if that is where our hang ups lie (such as in the three day thing), then I fear we have missed the importance of an Alexander, a Simon or a Christ. I wrote an article about prophesy not too long ago and made the bold assertion that it can be just as likely fore planned as it could be foreseen. Both actions, in my eyes, leave room for the miraculous. In modern times we have neglected the power of ritual redundancy, prayer, and reverence. Creative visualization or positively reinforced thinking often produces the desired outcome. I have never had any doubt in my mind that Christ knew exactly what he was doing and how his ritual sacrifice would reverberate throughout the ancient world and perhaps the universe. He was fulfilling prophesy. The waving of palm branches, riding the white ass, claiming the kingdom and kingship, his directions to Peter and Judas were all elements toward assuring the fulfillment of prophesies. Jesus was repeating things ‘foreseen’ or foretold in order to complete them. Prophecies coming to pass justify change or outcome for the shepherded masses. It suggests what they need to do next, what they should expect in the future, and provides the best likelihood that the greater hunk of society will ‘arrive’ as fore planned. Divine perhaps? Programmed? Hypnotically suggested? Thank goodness Jesus was keen to the signs of the times, right? Someone had to eventually set events into motion, and it had to be done at precisely the correct time or it could not have come to pass. Christ’s miracle might well have been recognizing this window of opportunity. He took action. He stepped forward. He was sensitive to the times and knowledgeable of biblical history. If this ever proves to be true, it displays Christ’s mission as more humanly heroic and divinely inspired than ever suspected. Christianity arguably became the catalyst of modern Western development, nation building, literature, and art. These are just some of the ‘good’ things. However, as sure as Christianity was delivered clean and new, time doth corrupt it by tucking its truth deeper into the folds of deceit. Since evil doers can’t defeat the truth, they cleverly join its ranks, seize control of knowledge and then feed it back to us with their own repackaged version of history, science, or religion. This version will better advance an elite encouraged agenda. All religions are victims of deconstruction, as is anything that begins with good intention. Had Mother Teresa ever run for high political office, you can bet a hundred liberal attorneys would have been sent to the Vatican to find evidence that she must have masturbated a few times in her unselfish life. It is the endless birth to death cycle in all things that we battle. Light always pushes away the darkness, only to be enveloped by it again with the passage of time. At some distance behind the faintest star (time=light years), there is a light from a star that can’t be seen. While our human brains have a limited capacity for knowing, our soul’s mind has no bounds.

The Foreseen or Fore-Planned theory actually allows a broader scope of believability. Those who trust that our lives are somehow guided by fate or directed by God, gravitate toward the ‘Foreseen’ or prophesized end of the spectrum. Conspiracy theories tend to suggest a human hand is involved, but don’t always dismiss the idea that some ominous entity, inter-dimensional being, or divine spirit has a deliberate master-plan unfolding. Today, the books our children read in schools are fashioning new citizens for tomorrow. The history and values they are learning are being edited and reevaluated from the way we were taught. Their brains are being washed with different colors in order that they will react to events that are intended to move them as one demographic blob in the desired direction of a New World Order. Those opposing a New World Order are acting as predicted and are fulfilling the conditions that will cause the needed friction to ignite change. I’ve foreseen that the change will be far different than anything we could have imagined or expected. It makes one feel a bit like a mouse among mice darting around in a huge experimental maze. Limited, manipulated knowledge is the piece of cheese we are all scurrying to consume, so that they can observe what we’ll do for the next crumb. It is a fore-planned equation with predictable consequences, a foreseen outcome through the amazing accuracy of all things cyclical. The saga of man is constantly recycled and though the characters names may change, and the props may at first appear foreign to us, the basic truth elements remain intact. Once we relax our focus from any one particular tree story, we suddenly begin to notice the vast wilderness library of which it becomes an infinitesimal part. Every bit of mastery of literature, lore, or wisdom that falls within this repetitive genre has survived in order to deliver its payload of truth. Wrapped in the time capsule of their own unique era, these works contain the golden nuggets of knowledge we long to decipher. I believe they are the keys to unlocking man’s true purpose, the answer to the riddle we have been seeking since our creation.

Zero Equals: Talk Plus Action Minus Results

2009-10-12T19:51:00.000-07:00

I think it was maybe 1974 or 1975, when my father drove away in our late model Pontiac station wagon, and returned in a brand new, red, Ford Pinto ‘faux-woody’ wagon. In less than a week, our first edition Monte Carlo was also replaced with a funky green AMC Gremlin X. Tiny trucks like the Ford Courier and Chevy LUV were popping up all over the place, as well as a multitude of other gas efficient American cars and imports. It would seem that on the surface it was a direct response to the Arab Oil embargo of 1973. Americans rallied in defiance by producing smaller, more gas efficient automobiles like those in Europe and Japan. Alternative fuels made from our own nation’s abundance of grain would allow us to run our engines on alcohols derived from corn, and there was talk of electric cars in the near future. We were sending men to the Moon way back then and nothing seemed impossible. Oil companies eased our fears by ‘leading the way’ in the development of cleaner and possibly non-petroleum-based synthetic fuels. We were already cleaning-up the planet from years of petrochemical pollution, and one would have thought that even Iron Eyes Cody would soon dry his lonely tear and jump for joy. But that was over 35 years ago. One would think that in all that time, we’d be driving cars like the Jetson’s, drinking free Bubble-Up and eating Rainbow Stew. But all this turned out to be like a promised birthday party that was never intended to happen. It was all just high-dollar big talk. Oil prices eventually went down, but never too far down. We had learned to adjust our lives over the following decades to the bipolar moods of the oil market. Unlike other commodities oil had a mind of its own, going up and down at the whim of the oil companies and/or speculators in the market place. Some refineries had even begun to disappear though our dependence on oil never seemed to wane at all. It was as if they wanted to create a shortage by bottle necking oil through fewer refineries. Yes it is true, automobile engines did become more efficient, but small cars suddenly began to grow larger again until mini-vans began morphing into big, gas guzzling SUVs. Today gas prices have gone way up again and settled once more to low, but never as low as before. Oil companies are once again blathering about ‘bio fuels’, algae fuels, and all the scientific research they are doing to get us away from dependency on foreign oil. Our witnessing their corny TV ads lets us know that their scientists are right on that problem; not! It’s all eyewash aimed at pacifying public distain. Today, cars are beginning to shrink again, and hopefully our American auto makers can survive long enough to sell them. We’ve once again pledged to clean-up the planet of all the green house gases (we called it pollution in the 60s and 70s) that are causing (wink) ‘global warming’. Fifty years ago, JFK pledged to put a man on the lunar surface within a decade and we did it. It is mind boggling that in a half century we have yet to wean ourselves from fossil fuels. What the hell happened to us?

After the United States abandoned the gold standard, we and perhaps the rest of the world unconsciously embraced the oil standard (or as I like to say, Standard Oil). Oil-driven tire and automotive industries pushed for improved roads and highway systems over mass transit (subways, passenger & urban commuter trains) in order to market more cars. The auto industry boomed as well as all the peripheral businesses that would contribute to it and feed off of it. It generated a lot of wealth and created a lot of jobs for the country. I was recently watching a series on television that focused on the ‘underground’ of cities in various places around the world. In the early days of the development of Los Angeles, they had begun a mass transit system, but it was halted by special interests. These interests placed the all mighty dollar over cheap, reliable transportation in and out of the new city. This transportation would mean that many people would not have had to rely on the oil/auto industry that is now responsible for the hallmark ‘dome of smog’ that looms over Los Angeles and older American cities. It seems a great shame that sensibility got in the way of the huge fortunes that were to be made discouraging one industry to encourage another. But that is the way it has always been. Shoot now, think later. Strike while the iron is hot. Make hay while the sun’s shining. Money is power and the more of it you can accumulate the more control over the elements you will have. The plan was to make the most wealth in a way that creates dependence. Dependency is equivalent to slavery. Dependency makes you pliable to the will of the New World Order. We have entire industries that thrive on people’s dependencies. We work for money, just as a dog will do tricks for a Scooby Snack. Our gratification is that we can go buy all the things we need to eat, to drink, to provide shelter, comfort, and protection, and raise our families in order to provide the next generation of product buying and service using slaves. During our lives we might also form other dependencies through addictions to alcohol, tobacco, physical illness, mental illness, and decadence. There are industries that accommodate all these elements and they, in turn, provide jobs and an economy that becomes hopelessly entangled and ironically dependent upon one another. If we cured cancer, what would become of the industries that discovered the cure, or the investors that poured their life earnings into those industry’s stocks? What would become of all cancer centers and the entire industry of care providers that specialized in various types of cancer? What of the sideline industries that provided hospice, and hospital equipment, office equipment, and construction of those related facilities? The answers to these questions are too ‘damned if you do & damned if you don’t’ horrific to contemplate. As with big oil, it has become an economy addiction that’s cure would leave a disastrous industry vacuum. Like Hotel California, “You can check out any time you’d like, but you can never leave.” They (or those whom we like to refer to as them) have no vested interest in finding a cure for cancer. However, a lot of money can be made in R&D for Band-Aids to manage the disease. It is likely that cancer has had a cure or at least a discovered understanding toward prevention of the malady for many years. Our dependence on oil should have died a hundred years ago, but because the wealthiest and most powerful people controlled it, they were able to dictate the rules while drawing the blueprints of our modern economy. They are also the architects of the New World Order we’ve been unconsciously abetting through our collective sacrifice of blood, sweat, and tears. They aren’t about to replace the very life-support system that provides the desired results to their objective. There will be no replacement for oil no matter how much money they pour into their phony efforts to appear as though they are working on a solution. One should marvel at such genius. It is still not fully appreciated nor is it receiving the glory it justly deserves for the simple fact that it has not yet revealed itself in its entirety to the world. Like a witty gag among snobby intellectuals, most of us won’t fully understand the punch line when it is finally delivered. We are to be forgiven however; the joke was on us and it was too far above most of our heads to get a good belly laugh out of it anyway.

How do we know we have been duped by the oil giants and more importantly their controlling New World masters? Any viable contenders that could challenge big oil are suppressed or destroyed through New World agencies, bureaus, or lengthy litigation. In some cases, people who have invented devices and processes or stumbled over them accidentally have been chastised and/or murdered as they tried to present them to the public. One such man was Stanley Meyer. Meyer used a technology that was at least one hundred years old that produced hydrogen from ordinary water. While many are popularly using similar simplistic homemade devices to use hydrogen on demand (verses contained under pressure) to give gasoline a boost, Meyer took it a step further. He scrapped the dual fuel concept all together by finding a way to regulate and burn the hydrogen safely stripped from ordinary water which eliminated the need for both gasoline and diesel. His car literally ran on water (yielding hydrogen) as a fuel source! Amazingly, Meyer’s adaptation of a century old technology was able to utilize the internal combustion engine with very few changes beyond carburetion and specially designed hydrogen injectors taking the place of spark plugs. If his innovations were combined with the latest engine technology in the auto making world today, the only industry that would have taken a blow to the gut would have been big oil. A Fox News affiliate in Meyer’s home state of Ohio actually aired Meyer’s amazing water car story locally as a feature on their area station. The news anchor was allowed access to video tape Meyer’s technology and took a ride in his water-powered sand rail car with Stanley’s few adaptations to a stock engine. No national news agency will ever air that video, and it will likely disappear from the internet as well. It is also said, that the DOD and other government agencies had their own private viewing of Meyer’s invention. This exposure sealed the fate of Stanley Meyer, and he soon died from a ‘freak’ encounter with a botulism-laced sandwich. The less paranoid version of his death is that he died of an aneurism. Despite how he might have expired, Stanley Meyer developed a car that ran on water. I am uncertain what happened to his vehicle, but I am sure that his contribution to the world has been bound in a never ending tangle of legal litigation since his death. In short, no one will benefit from Stanley Meyer’s death but the oil fields of the world, their owners, their investors, and their related industries. The energy leverage over the people of the world is safely intact once more. This isn’t the first sad story, and it certainly won’t be the last. There was Tesla before them, and later there was also Wilhelm Reich just to name a few. Some of Tesla’s works and possessions were nabbed by government agencies upon his death. Despite many patents and employment at one time with Westinghouse, Tesla died a pauper. Reich on the other hand, had discovered more subtle energies he tagged as ‘orgone’. Directing or manipulating this ‘orgone’ had very powerful consequences. Reich believed he could manipulate the weather and invented devices he claimed through documented scientific study that proved the existence of this mysterious energy. Though willing to share this knowledge for review by federal regulatory authorities, he was instead ordered to abandon his experimentation. They did not want to consider, read about, or test his findings. He refused, and the feds imprisoned him and destroyed all his inventions and documentation that they could impound. He eventually died in prison of a ‘heart attack’ (how convenient) before he could be released. His experimentation yielded devices that could seed clouds that he’d hope would create rain where there was famine. Another device, the Orgone Accumulator, was found to help people gain relief or be healed of various illnesses. Sweet Mother of Jesus, why would we want to rid ourselves of famine and disease?

The Earth, like all things in the universe, has a life cycle. She was born and one day she will likely die to be recycled or reborn into another reality. There is a shortage of nothing on our planet or indeed up in the heavens. Our constant desperation is created by premeditated or contrived shortages, so that we have to run through hoops trusting our leadership to provide solutions for us. Controlling economies controls people. There is plenty of everything when Nature has her way. She is the regulator, and mankind is the great adaptor. We have the skill to manage all her resources. But some men demand more from Nature than what she would oblige through her own unique brand of competition and survival. Lacking control over Nature, these entities chose to invent systems to impose their own will upon the meek. They manipulated knowledge, parsing out only what needed to be known to those they elected to know it. They rationed pathways toward a dead-end knowledge for the masses, while utilizing limitless highways of knowledge for themselves. I contend that the knowledge of Tesla, Reich, Meyer and many more have been known by those of other ages, and that careful guard stands ready to control or ban its use by any means necessary. It is said that when God granted any single gift to Solomon, he carefully thought of how he might obtain all things through one all-encompassing request. He accomplished that task by asking for ‘wisdom’, and God filled Solomon’s human brain with all the wisdom his mind could dare conceive. Even with this great gift, a just king like Solomon was still only a man. As we perceive those who are instrumental in the ushering of this New World Order, can we say that they are wise and just men? Perhaps just as in everything else we think we know, there must be opposing forces in a choreographed ‘Dance of the Ages’ as was written by M.R. Behr. I too, am not convinced that good and evil are so far a distance from each other, for there is a common point where they must meet to begin their inevitable and deadly waltz. Has this courtship been a necessity towards the same kind of renewal that we accept and understand in our own earthly seasons and of our mortality? Is it the ‘nature’ of these men, albeit their God given right, to orchestrate this seemingly inescapable drama of the birth and death of civilizations? Is my awareness of this ritual still naïve to some higher purpose that seems to justify all this redundant pain, suffering, and evil that I deem to be so obviously connected to the advocates of the coming New World Order? If our destiny is written in stone, and this process is to happen again and again for an eternity, than what purpose do writers like me serve for the cause besides a rhetorical, “I told you so.”? How do we stop the cycle? Should it be stopped? Would foiling it only delay its happening for another time? What are the ramifications of expelling tradition, of disrupting the cycle, and not completing the race? These are the questions that have begun to haunt me, because the deeper one probes the clearer the overall picture seems to become until suddenly, you think you understand. What you discover is troubling, disturbing, conflicting, and perhaps hideous, but you finally get it. At this juncture, you might wish you were oblivious to truth again. You realize how comforting it was to be one with the rest of the mutton-headed flock, munching away in green fields with blue skies, a warm sun, and wooly white clouds. There was nothing to worry about aside from following the ever watchful shepherd or the occasional nip at the rump from a policing border collie. We trotted through life leaving our welfare in the hands of others so that we could frolic and gather rosebuds. Chaos seemed a distant, outdated and savage trend that could never again emerge from its lowly chasm.

The Order, Dutchy-ness, and Change

2009-09-13T19:37:00.000-07:00

I grew-up in a town that was considered ‘Dutchy’. Actually, the very term ‘Dutchy’ was erroneous to this area. My town was settled by Germans which in the German language was actually written and pronounced ‘Deutsch’. Due to a benign sort of child-like ignorance, it is common in our American melting-pot to sometimes kick culture around and confuse terms. Dutch (in reference to the people of Holland) kind of looks like Deutsch (German) and sounds a bit like it, so the misinformed label stuck. They are all over there in Europe anyway, so what the heck, right? The ‘Dutchy’ stereotype came to define the frugal, hard working, traditional and sometimes stubborn disposition of the German farmers and their families that greatly influenced the area where I was raised. In my little community, we had a Germanic family that started a grocery store. That store flourished throughout our county for over 120 years. I am not certain what caused the gradual demise of this family-owned establishment. Perhaps, it was more profitable to sell out; or maybe with all the national superstores along with their tremendous purchasing ability, they found it impossible to compete. So in recent years, my local family-owned grocery chain was purchased by the national chain known as Kroger. Ironically, Kroger once had a store in my town but it had to fold. I’m not sure, but the closing had something to do with unions. It was said that cashiers were making over $30.00 per hour plus benefits and that was way back in the 1970’s. I remember that my mother, a surgical nurse at the time, was offended that she made considerably less with a college degree and a lot more responsibility. Through the years, Kroger somehow survived and regrouped. When they bought our family based grocery chain, however, they did something tactically brilliant. Kroger kept the name of the local family on all the stores, and sold their Kroger labeled products on the inside. Perception-wise, nothing had changed. It seems that Kroger knew something about my little ‘Dutchy’ community. Change was something that should happen slowly if at all in my neck of the woods. As long as they kept moving product off the shelves, Kroger didn’t seem to care. New World Order advocates have also applied this valuable bit of reverse psychology for a number of years when they wish to calm the fears associated with change. It is a slight of hand they might well have invented.

In our forced march toward globalization, a world economy, and a world government, our own federal government and indeed our jilted media, have found it useful to ‘cloak’ their agendas by appearing like something agreeable in order to sell the public their wares. Presidential administrations along with Congressional bills and programs have long disguised their agendas with names or titles that sound harmless or righteous. Some are dangerously sugar coated so as to slip by a public that is often too preoccupied to involve themselves in political watch-dogging. Though we are seeing this more and more with the Obama administration’s attempts to rush through a huge, technically wordy, and purposely confusing stimulus package, and subsequent health care bill, most folks are still not seeing the true implications of why these things are really happening. We’ve been here before with Presidents Wilson (League of Nations) and Roosevelt (the New Deal). More recently, New World advocates worked hard to disrupt the Middle East by ridding Iraq of Saddam Hussein. It was time. They had used the murderous tyrant as a tool to help contain Iran. Once again, the enemy of our enemy is always our friend. Saddam was suckered into Kuwait for the purpose of fabricating an alibi to invade Iraq and get into Afghanistan. That stage was being set at the time of the Persian Gulf War. At that time, chess strategies were being contemplated and pieces were being moved. Liberating the Iraqi people from a diabolical jackass like Saddam was a welcomed side effect toward the ultimate goal of an ongoing New World Order agenda. Their ‘Jack to a King’ candidate from the left, Barrack Obama, simply replaced their war tool G.W. Bush who had also served them well. Whether either of them knew the master they were serving cannot with any certainty be known. Moreover, either could be oblivious to the Order’s manipulation and still react predictably. The Order encouraged the bashing of Bush while praising his accomplishments behind the scenes. Much to the chagrin of the Clintons (who have also been useful tools of the Order); New World planners backed their newest ‘soup of the day’ in the embodiment of the junior, inexperienced, far-left senator from Illinois, Barrack Obama. Emerging from the dust caused from dragging G.W. Bush under the bus, came a fresh, exceptionally intellectual, and handsome statesman in the little known ‘community radicalize-r’ from the Windy City. Yet, despite Obama’s rising star quality, and the added advantage of succeeding an ‘unpopular’ republican president; Barrack could still not have won the presidency without the majority of the media being in the tank for him. Just as with Bush in Florida, so too, did Obama have questionable votes favoring him in several states. Organized liberal groups were suspected of voting at multiple locations, especially in those states that were not allowed to ask for identification thanks to their Democratic Governors. Today, it has also been said that illegal aliens will be counted in our upcoming national census which could result in more delegates for states harboring them. Of course, the more delegates a state is allowed the more political power they may wield.

So what are the true implications of why all these wacky things are happening? Why are unpopular agendas being disguised to appear agreeable to the public? Why would the powerful boogiemen of the world want to steer America, long heralded the ‘Hope of the World’, away from its capitalistic roots and into the jaws of Socialism/Communism? Civil uneasiness is now smoldering just below the surface of our nation like a dormant volcano that is slowly bubbling back to life. It is far more noticeable and easily understood when one can stow their political passions long enough to rise above the true agenda, look down, and observe the powder keg that is dangerously close to taking on a spark. Item by item it may look like this:

A.) The negative attention that most the media generated around G. W. Bush (and government) created a cynicism among the only political group that matters anymore. That group is the attentive Independent voter that makes up most the swing vote category. Hardliners cannot be swayed and are entrenched in their ideologies whether they fully believe them or not. They feel that their very survival exists in repelling any and all things that could give the far left or far right a numerical advantage. Though many would likely compromise on some issues, there is no trust between them, thus the stalemate we have come to expect that neutralizes two very large groups of people. The huge division between them is troublesome enough when weighing the possibility of an inevitable clash. Independents, however, listen intently for hints of compromise and cooperation exhibited by the opposing parties and their candidates. Despite the many warning signs that Obama’s ideology was at the least socialistic, Independents read what they wanted into Barrack’s many inspiring speeches and promises of being a uniting and not a dividing force. However, once elected, Independents began to see Obama surround himself with even more controversial figures than he had associated with before putting together his administration. Obama’s confidence, statesmanship, good-looks, and youthful energy, however, were a refreshing change. His black and white pedigree was a subtle suggestion that a long civil struggle had ascended to a nationally unified maturity. Here was this new ray of hope, suspiciously arriving from virtual obscurity; an example of a man that without doubt loved his wife and children that appeared to have only one tragic flaw. He was at odds with the majority of Americans in his ideology. Now that he has shown his intentions of the direction he would like to take the country, the immoveable right wing hardliners and majority of displeased Independents are drastically tipping the scales in the direction of conservatism. Along with a vague and costly stimulus package, Obama has tried to push an equally confusing, vague health plan that continues to send up red flares above an already mistrusting and cynical American majority. Obama’s mesmerizing spell of beautiful statesmanship has been broken. He is what he has always been, and that is a far left-wing ideologue. The Order thought that socialism would taste better through Obama’s personality, appearance, and savvy and it got them the tool they needed into the White House. As Joe Biden comically claimed during the primary about his conservative opponents, “If it quacks like duck, walks like a duck, and looks like it’s a duck, then it’s a duck.” Obama was an attractive package with what turns out to be unattractive contents for those who favor less government, but Independents took the bait. It was an honest, trusting mistake, many are now beginning to realize. Obama’s platform of ‘change’ was as ambiguous and undefined as the current stimulus and health care packages. It was never about a change of heart, but rather a radical change of U.S. doctrine.

B.) With Independents experiencing ‘buyer remorse’ at taking a chance on Obama, left wing hardliners are beginning to get a taste of the bitter medicine they have inflicted on the right wing for many years. Who would think that ‘slothy’, perceived stuffy, wholesome, God-fearing conservatives would take to the streets in angry protest? Who would have guessed that senior citizens would have the energy to finally rebel against an encroaching socialism that had been creeping into our political system at the speed of a galloping glacier ever since the birth of the Communist Manifesto? Unprepared for such resistance, Obama and the rest of the left went straight to their socialist playbook and began with the first ‘rule of thumb’. Ridicule the infidel. Obama initiated the offense by making light of the ‘Tea Baggers’. The majority of the liberal news media ignored conservative rallies altogether, refusing at first to even acknowledge them. In time, and as they grew in tremendous numbers, the liberal media chose to capture only the ‘fringe’ element whom had attached themselves to the broader grassroots movement. Now, the majority of these rather lame conservative protesters have been deemed ‘political terrorists’ not only by the media, but by Senators and Congressional Representatives that represent these same protestors. These normal folks which make up the majority of ‘Tea Baggers’ and Town Hall Protestors are being labeled as racists, Nazis, and white supremacists. Ironically, most these claims are being made by far left white ‘organizers’ and Hollywood personalities that get lots and lots of media sound bites on the many liberal news outlets. Liberals are bussing in phony, paid activists through groups like ACORN to infiltrate grassroots Conservative/Independent & Blue Dog Democrat movements and attract their media puppets to air their staged protests. Liberals have also been found vandalizing their own offices in order to make conservative groups appear violent, hate-filled and racist. This dangerous practice of malicious hate accusations, falsification, and attempted framing will eventually set off the extreme factions on both sides resulting in acts of utter chaos. Once this end fighting begins, you may begin to witness what those in our many penitentiaries experience from the time they are incarcerated. People will begin to segregate, trusting their skin color to identify ‘likenesses’ of ideology rather than trusting political labels. In turn and in time, adherence to the ‘group’ mentality will reward you with protection, so regardless of your tolerance to outsiders, you too will eventually be judged by the company you keep. Punishment or banishment from the ‘group’ could result by one’s dissent from these newly emerging and growing extremes. Conservative people of color will be under suspicion of allegiances, and liberal Caucasians will be greatly mistrusted by minorities. It is a horrible proposition, and people who had never hated or judged men by color or ethnicity will be forced to one side or the other of the newly created prison yard system. Eventually and at terrible costs, ideology will give way to race alone. The few on the extreme fringes, both right and on the left will call the shots and rule their respective groups. At present, it is a risky challenge by the extreme left, to take the focus off of Obama’s ideology and place it in the realm of racism. Many on the left have now begun a new mantra. They are now trying to protect the term ‘socialism’ by calling it the new ‘N’ word. By redefining terms like Socialism, Marxism, and Communism and attaching it to Obama’s ethnicity, liberals hope to silence criticism made by conservatives and enrage liberal Afro-Americans. It is a dangerous ploy, not to mention a ridiculous analogy. All the sacrifice of the Civil Rights movement and the good that came from it could soon begin to dissolve as such hate-filled liberal rhetoric increases. So far, we are a nation divided mostly by true ideologies and/or the ideological labels of Democrat and Republican. I say this because most Republicans and Democrats have slid further and further to the left and do not resemble their earlier platforms anymore but by name. It is like a child who likes his favorite baseball team because everyone in his family before them liked the same team. Worse will certainly be yet to come in such a scenario, and this is the crises/opportunity that the New World Order will be paying close attention to; and only then will you start to realize the true implications of why the Order has been playing both ends against the middle.

C.) The New World Order has long known that the ‘free peoples’ of the United States would never volunteer themselves to Socialism, Communism, or anything that would limit the vision and feeling of individualism. Ironically, the Order helped give birth to our great nation in order to reap the wealth that freedom brings and use it toward their agenda. The Order also had a hand in the development of the ideologies in the various degrees of communal governments. They would certainly like to change freedom as we know it now and have indeed chipped away at our freedoms for many, many years. Freedom was a means to an end in a cycle that has repeated itself from one age of civilization to the next. However, today I feel their true agenda is much different than even our most adamant conspiracy theorists would expect. Though not thoroughly based on the following, it indeed sites an example in principle. In the mid to late 1960s, a supposed secret government report and subsequent book came out entitled, Report from Iron Mountain. It was claimed to be a study ‘On the Possibility & Desirability of Peace’. I will likely write about this book at a later date, but regardless if the report was a hoax or merely a liberal satire, as it was later claimed to be; I don’t entirely buy the present story that is being sold to us about ‘Iron Mountain’s’ origins. As Shakespeare might say, “It protesteth too much.” Could the replacement of conventional war usher in a new era of terrorists or perils to take its place? Terrorism along with their hard to detect cells can both help spend defense dollars and thin out populations. Acts of terror can cause ‘necessary’ changes in our perceived freedoms within society like the newly formed Patriot Act and other legislation to come. There’s one of those labels again, the ‘Patriot Act’. What patriotic citizen would not give up some personal freedoms to aid his country’s pursuit of terrorist boogiemen? New super bugs and viruses along with ancient plagues, can also keep populations under control in times of peace whether they are unleashed by evil men, plotting governments, or acts of God. Global warming, regardless of man’s hand in it, or that of a natural cycle caused by solar flares or cosmic radiation will all come in to play as well through famine and extreme weather conditions. What might have been written as a hoax (Iron Mountain) could bear merit when observing world events from the 1960s until now. Instead of an Orwellian fiction like ‘1984’ becoming future fact, what was published to the world as non-fiction in ‘Report from Iron Mountain’ is clearly begging in the present day to be as untrue as the prankish boy who once cried, “wolf!”. Someone should be asking why? We have arrived at a time in history when all the elements are coming together, just like the predicted cosmic alignment that is projected to trigger a literal new world. The illuminated have always known about it or suspected it. They say the Mayan calendar pretty much indicates it, as did Nostradamus, Edgar Casey, and perhaps Lori Toye. Networks are certainly exploiting such ‘nonsense’. Was it wrong to keep the rest of mankind in the dark until such a late date? I cannot dare pretend to know. Information (or misinformation depending how you look at it) has been ‘leaking out’ for years for those listening and watching. Survival brings out both the best and worst in human beings. How can I judge events that I truly don’t understand? Can ignorance truly be bliss? As I have said before, this world is beginning to get like a big, old, wet, shaggy dog that is about to do what big, old, wet, shaggy dogs do when saturated. Expect civil upheaval, along with terror and disease that will likely be orchestrated by the New World Order. It will just take one or two calculated incidents to ignite a whirlwind of disastrous civil events. Culminate those things, if timed in accordance, with what will likely occur cosmically (the 12-21-2012 prediction) and the Order could come out smelling like a rose. They can then extend their hand to those of us that are left coming out from the rubble to behold our ‘brave new world’. Sovereignty, religion and country will suddenly have less impact because there will be little of that left to distinguish us from one another. We will be a new class of people starting over with a little help from those who were in the know all along.

From my perspective, this is the true meaning behind what is going on in the world. The Order is casting us in the pit as usual. They seem to be trying to orchestrate political/economical events of mankind with events believed to be occurring in the cosmos. Though helpless to influence most cosmic events, the Order can affect the outcome to a large degree of what happens with mankind. In this manner, provided the cosmic events do not destroy all humanity, the meddling of the Order in human affairs could create a window of opportunity. The Order will be able to unite those who survive by appearing to be the answer to their prayers. The Order will be the solution to the planet’s woes and begin our rebirth on a newly purged planet. The bad end-of-the-stick will come in the event of a contrived chaos, where ‘undesirables to the Order’ would be eliminated prior to the cosmic event. This would occur within an undetermined period of lawlessness, provoked by an atrocity from one end or the other of the ideological spectrum of extremists. This will be the perfect time to introduce pandemics or other acts of terror. This period of chaos will kill economies and induce other global hardships causing the total meltdown of governments and lots of death. Ghettos and prison populations will be scenes of horrific annihilation. In ‘the pit scenario’, which has been created by the Order, a rebellion of sorts is inevitable. Man’s laws that normally protect the few from the many will be replaced by vigilante justice due to a global ‘Katrina-like’ state where command and control are compromised for a period of time that could last either months or years. Racial conflict is a near certainty; with segregation occurring as naturally as is does in a prison yard and for the exact same reasons or purpose. Other segregating will occur as well. Groups once protected by the law will be ferreted out by extremists, thus causing many to suppress their ideologies and once precious civil liberties in order to fit into a broader category of likeness. As was seen with Katrina, dense urban areas will suffer the most and will be the scene of many sorrows. The final blow, if timed correctly, will be the cosmic event. Shortly, after this, and after much of the social disorder and death that will come with it, the Order will expose itself in some profound way that might even rival Spielberg’s DreamWorks special effects. They will literally save us from ourselves and have all the solutions ready to deploy. No one will realize or much less care about the role the Order played in this cataclysmic drama. People will be eager to get back to living instead of surviving, and a new age will dawn before our eyes. Everything is presently in place. At the precise moment of opportunity and precise cosmic timing, someone or something will get the proverbial snowball rolling down hill. Gravity will take care of the rest. Man will likely be led to blame himself for his earthly misfortune, and the story of humankind will likely begin again. What will it be this time? Will it be man ‘The Sinner’ or man ‘Redeemed’? And what will become of the Order? Will they continue manipulating man into the new age, be in eternal karmic debt, or be congratulated by God Himself? Whatever we choose to think about the end of times, it will likely be entirely different than what we had perceived it to be. It is like a 'word' or 'term' we think we’ll recognize that will likely appear much more beautiful or frightening than we ever expected.

You all have seen the TV cop shows where a couple of cops interrogate a suspect. They use a variety of techniques. Sometimes they do it together by bombarding the thug with a continuous line of questions, hoping the poor sucker will lose his nerve or stumble on a fact or detail that he shouldn’t really know unless he was involved in the crime. There is also the tag team approach. Cop (A) interrogates until he is tired and exits the room, while holding the door open for the fresh cop (B) to enter and put the chump through the ropes in the hope of wearing the poor guy down. However, perhaps the goofiest technique is where one cop acts as though he hates your guts (using ourselves for example as the bad guy) while the other cop wants to be your new best friend. One literally rakes you over the coals, levels ‘subtle’ threats, throws stuff across the room, and hits table tops and walls, all the while shouting accusations of guilt at you; while the other guy sort of puts a cold damp towel on Mr. ‘Not-So-Happy’ cop, tells him to take a little break, and begins to offer you drinks and smokes to win your confidence. All efforts are orchestrated by a professional team that has the same goal in mind. They are one entity playing both sides to get what they want. That goal is to squeeze the information they need out of you in order to get a confession or at least your cooperation. The application of either sugar or salt depends on the criminal’s resolve. It depends on what trips his trigger. What the crook forgets during this magic interrogation trick is to keep his eye on the goal of the cops. A wise suspect, whether guilty or innocent, would demand an attorney so that they won’t get caught up in all the hocus pocus.

In the world of Liberal and Conservative thought, you will find that the New World Order acts a bit like a Good Cop/Bad Cop entity. We of course, are the poor bastards being interrogated and they have set out one way or the other to get our cooperation. It doesn’t matter if you are an industry CEO, a politician, activist, or a citizen voter, how you come around depends on whether you want to see sunlight or a desk lamp in your face for what could amount to years. If you are a simple citizen they urge you take a side on an issue, they fund it, and then they make certain it is in conflict with the pawns they are also funding and agitating on the other side. Folks have a natural tendency to drift one way or the other on issues of passion so it doesn’t take much coaxing. It is always fun to be able to count on huge amounts of people to be in conflict with one another just in case a revolution is in order. It makes for an excellent diversion that effectively causes you to take your nose off of the scented trail. If you are a larger game piece on the New World chessboard, they find a way for you to have an accident, orchestrate your injury or death through ‘natural’ causes, or expose your suppressed or contrived scandal through some form of blackmail. That’s merely a sampling of the Bad Cop approach of the New World Order. Sometimes their wrath upon the uncooperative is as simple as breaking their financial capabilities. We are seeing a lot of this these days with industry and even individuals. If you can’t make money, or if you are tied-up in a multitude of legal allegations, your influence has been greatly neutralized. But there is a way out, and that is when you deal with the Good Cop personality of the New World Order.

The Good-Cop persona of the New World Order goes right for the jugular of leadership. Washington, D.C. is like shooting fish in a barrel for the Order’s patient agenda. The temptation is way too much to bear with all the special favors, perks, networking, and power flowing through every sacred hall of our nation’s most revered institutions. It becomes easy to forget who you work for back home, when starched shirts and big bucks are wining and dining you for your support. Representatives and Senators start kidding themselves early on to experience the kind of nirvana that will help them get ahead in Washington. It isn’t the support of constituents they need. A good bit of money can buy all the support they’ll ever want in the District of Columbia. But let us not forget that many of these hardened oaks where once little sprouts receiving the best poop, pruning, and lucre showers to nurture their tender young roots. They come from the green houses of Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key of the Ivy League farm clubs of the NWO. Schools like Columbia University and even bloody Oxford are also considered a nice addition to a Harvard or Yale degree. Though these alums may appear conservative or liberal they are all steeped like precious tea bags in the steaming bubbly waters of Marxism, Socialism, and the likes of Cecil Rhodes. In their fraternal mingling and within their kinder-secret societies, they are encouraged to become reliable little plants within the nation’s courts, newspapers, media, industry, finance, foreign affairs, and of course, politics. Their bond to one another is for life. They have been invited into what they believe to be the ‘elite inside’ due to their status, moldable nature, genius, or marketability. No one of any real power or influence in our government today got where they are solely on their own merit. The rest of the leftovers among them are around to shine their shoes and perform as political groupies. That is especially true if they expect any longevity. Kennedy or Nixon, Carter or Reagan, Bush Senior or Clinton, Obama or G.W., all knew/know that there is a penalty to pay for veering off course. Stick with the plan and one day live to see your own library, or deviate from the plan and get your library posthumously. The Order might even martyr you in the end. You tried to screw them, so now they screw you into the ground while making you a hero to their cause. That’s a neat trick, and they don’t limit that one to just U.S. Presidents. It is a rude awaking for some in Washington, but they find out soon enough. They find that their whole ideology was spoon fed to them, that their passions were encouraged by empty enthusiasm, and that they are just another cog in the wheel of a World Order that is going to reveal itself to be something much different than what they ever expected. For several, their own vanity and other vices were utilized against them. All meant well, all believed their nurturing, all believed in their personal accomplishment, but only a few might have had a clue as to what their specific skills or personality would accomplish for the Order.

So whether roughed-up or fluffed-up, we will all sit on that drab metal chair one day in our own claustrophobic room. There, we will face an authority whose intension it is to walk out the door with a confession. That confession will effectively involve your cooperation or contribution toward the Order’s agenda. That’s when the light beating on your face goes out, and you are finally allowed to close your eyes and think without the clutter fooling your brain anymore. You know your boundaries, and now you just stick to the small stuff. Pour yourself into your political passions. Join PETA, ACORN, the NRA, or file another ethics complaint against Sarah Palin. Pretend that your enemy is the guy with the opposite ideology, and not the entity stirring the turd working both ends. The Order never sits in the hard chair. They call the shots, ration the coffee and ciggies, and bring on the tough love if they have to. In time, you buy the story they sold you. The whole experience becomes muddied and lost. Beck, Dobbs, Limbaugh, Coulter, and O’Reilly talk all around it, but just can’t come to say its name. It’s all a coincidence of politics and world economics. It’s all happening by chance. Some are even beginning to dare that recent events are being purposely staged. However, they refuse to blame the elusive ‘interrogator’ let alone admit his presence in the room. It has to be political rivals up to their old tricks again. It can’t possibly be a global phenomenon. It certainly can’t be an enduring and patient conspiracy. The New World Order can always count on ‘scornful, overweening pride’.

The Janus Modus Operandi

I have never claimed to know exactly how the New World Order would strike its final blow to clearly define its mastery over the entire globe. I do, however, believe that the Order’s slow reticular grip has steadily muscled its encroaching coils ever tighter on true freedom. While most people have accepted the fate of drifting into a smothering Cheyne-Stokes death rattle, the Order has another plan in store for those who are still awake enough to notice the Anaconda that will be crushing their will to struggle and resist. The New World Order is indeed ancient and few at the top, though the Order’s influence can readily move many into action. They are experts at casting people into the pit. They invented the down line regimen where every descending level gets a little broader and less informed. They have structure within their ranks, loyalty amidst their ideologies, and a reliable web of nurtured minions motivated by greed, power, sex and vanity to execute the Order’s will. They know the mind of man in such detail that we on earth are as predictable as the movement of stars across the night sky. Whether they are good or evil depends upon how large you are able to imagine or how little you dare to care. It is difficult to have an opinion about an entity or group that possesses such vast knowledge. The Order seems to be acting as the author of the Phoenix myth, as they patiently move the story along its birth to death cycle. Normal folks spend much less time worrying about their personal end. They know it is inevitable, and choose to live a life of destiny. But the Order spends its entire existence focused on the ‘beginning and the end at the same time’. They survive for ‘manifest destiny’ and are driven to control it on their own terms so as to jockey a front row seat into the next eon. They know the mystery of God at a level that far exceeds our understanding of deity, and may well have had a hand in restricting our own limited view.

It seems the Romans, too, had a manifest destiny and a bit of a unique and obscure god themselves in the two-faced Janus. He (or it) had the same ability as our own Judeo-Christian God Almighty. Janus could see back through the past at the same moment that he could peer clearly into the future. Our own Lord God tells us in Genesis that, “I AM the beginning and I AM the end.” One of Janus’ statue depictions (at the Vatican Museum) is that of one body and one head, with a face of a young man on the front and another more elderly face of a man on the back. So, Janus may have more in common with other deities than first expected by scholars who found no true equivalent in Greek or perhaps other mythologies. Janus seems to be Father Time (Cronus) and Baby New Year (Zeus) in one embodiment; gods of the past fading into new names and realizations of the future. Others saw Janus-like qualities in the Egyptian Thoth (also known as Thrice Great Hermes in other cultures). The term ‘two faced’ most likely derived from Janus’ advantage of seeing forward and backward at the same time. Of course, our mortal two-faced ability might be seen as orchestrating events under one pretense to control a situation’s outcome and emerge ignorant of our wrongdoing. In other words, as mere men or an Order, we might seize such an ability of a god or God for our own gain. The Order, due to their birth rite of dominion over mankind feel ordained by God to exclusively hold the reigns of our collective destiny and steer it along its ‘predestined’ way.

The New World Order has been steeped for centuries in a Janus method of operation of dual meaning, double speak, and double crossing. Words, phrases and entire stories hold various degrees of meaning, one building upon another. ‘Each to his own ability of understanding’ might be the motto of the Order. Perhaps even our Christian parables reflect this attitude. Jesus tells his disciples that they are privy to a deeper understanding of the wonders of Heaven and the works of their Heavenly Father by simply being in his inner circle. But, to what end or purpose has the Order perched itself above the masses, and what is to become of those who see just enough to cast a little sand into the New World lube? Lately, we have been hearing a lot about global warming, various strains of flu and the likelihood of a pandemic. Both are cause for alarm and both are being used not just as political fodder and media sensationalism, but as an apparatus of adaptation. Control is everything to the Order. They cannot move on with their agendas (whatever purpose they might serve) without a manageable and somewhat docile herd. The last thing they want is a stampede of panicking humanity, unless of course, they could very quickly turn it around with a ‘solution’ to what may become a world-wide orchestrated or natural catastrophe. Thus, they immerse us in a bath of gradual adaptable temperatures until we become accustom to all the possible ills that could befall us and our planet. Therefore, we have received nearly all the additional warnings of extremist terrorism attacks, decimating mega meteors, super volcanoes and land shifting earthquakes. It is the same fire and brimstone dictated by nearly every religion or philosophy throughout history that is worth its salt, ceremoniously delivered to us by prophets, rabbis, clerics, priests and wise men long before the masses were educated or ‘freed’ by the advent of the printing press.

Today, another choking tragedy has been added to the list that threatens civilization as we know it. The Order has pressed for a World Economy until it has finally come to fruition, only to use it to gain control of every aspect of our lives. Short of primitive African tribes, who are being murdered by a more ‘metropolitan’ population of warring guerrillas, there are very few self-sufficient populations of human beings existing on the earth today. The Amish might not long be protected from world economics and a deteriorating U.S. Constitution. Amazon jungles are being raped for their resources as a result of unfulfilled jilted contracts with world banks, which will eventually kill off those few self sufficient tribes that flourished there. A greater part of the world's population are now dependent on intricate markets in the world economy for survival. The Order will also soon be burning a bridge they once initiated, now that they have rearranged the economies of nations. That bridge was made up of middle class, educated, hard working, proud Americans that are no longer needed. In fact, they are a detriment to the Order now, because they aren’t easily swayed by rhetoric, packaged good looks, slick-speak, propaganda, and shiny new banners squawking ‘change’. These folks don’t judge books by their covers, they see through coaxing, and know that the change that is coming is of no advantage to them. In fact, they are anxiously waiting for the other shoe to drop. These Americans are of no use to the Order now. They are not sheepish enough, and often dance to the beat of their own drum. The very unions that are aiding in cooperation with the policies that are supported by Order zombie politicians of both parties will one day meet the same demise. They are merely trying to extend their own survivability until they too are of no use to the Order. We are now a stamped UPC label population, and the noose is going to get tighter as we face new challenges like warding off Cap and Trade. More rules, less options, and no one to turn to but another scared, brainwashed cow waiting its prodding to scurry at the will of the Order. Could it invoke a revolution? But of course it may, especially if that too might kill a third of humanity and plummet mankind to a new global low. Then, in the rubble of heroes, martyrs, and revolutionaries the Order will emerge from their hiding, dust themselves off and unite us once more with their amazing Janus ability to simultaneously see the past and future while molding a new world with new men and a new concept of God. No matter how you shake it, they are continually coming at us beyond our ability to conceive. They are indeed superior beings. No matter how the chips may fall, the Order wins again. I suppose our destiny is to play a part of which there is no escape. Only time and the Order will dictate how we will be remembered by men if we are to be remembered at all.

Those who ignore that there has been a New World Order in the making will always rebuttal with a logical, “Show me your proof!” They say it with such conviction that you would think that they must possess certain evidence that it truly does not exit. The whole ‘is there’ or ‘is there not’ a conspiracy to enact a New World Order is a bit like, is there or is there not a God in Heaven? If there is a God, “show me your proof.” Proof must be undeniable for something so magnificent to be believed. It does not suffice (to some), as Donald Rumsfeld once said concerning WMD in Iraq, “Just because there is a lack of evidence, does not mean that evidence is lacking.” Yet, despite all the studies, all the books, the witnesses, the testimony, and all the material evidence pointing toward conspiracy for a New World Order the matter rests solely on what you choose to believe. Even belief in God Almighty rests solely in one’s own faith. With no ‘proof’ one is at the mercy of a battle of words and terminology. Indeed, how something is said is important in how it is interpreted. People are easily ruffled and stirred by challenges to their beliefs, customs, values, morality, and personal practices. With the majority of people behaving as units, segments, masses, and/or groups, those who would wish to arouse participation from the flock need only press their hot-button. One such hot-button presently being scrutinized by the Order is religion. The attack upon our country’s founding religion, which is broadly recognized as Christendom, was cleverly enacted on the 17th of May in the year 2009 with Barack Obama’s ‘controversial’ commencement speech at Notre Dame. Notre Dame has always been synonymous with Catholic values. It is an academic and institutional icon of Catholicism.

M.R. Behr once noted that, “An inch off balance is a mile’s worth of advantage if it is your opponent that gets caught off the mark.” Divide and conquer or trusting Greeks bearing gifts are all ways toward impending defeat. If you have to stick your finger in the dike to stop a leak, it is too late to hold back the reservoir of change. You’re just way too late. The proverbial camel already has his nose in the tent. That is what was happening at Notre Dame’s commencement, this 17th day of May. I am sure it was magical for the majority of young students to see their historic and very popular United States President, amid enough protest to conjure every single news organization to focus on one more of several contrived and continuous campaign stumps designed to change minds about the Obama Mantra. The Notre Dame Commencement was yet another of many affirmations of Barack Obama and the new world government we can expect in the future. The choice of doing this from a famed Catholic school, at a commencement of young people fresh for the workplace, and even the victorious symbolic date (which Obama acknowledged himself) of Brown vs. Board of Education was all part of a careful, plotted, knowledgeable, and politically staged calculation. If you can beat the ‘holy shit’ out of your opponents when you’re on the road, doing it from the White House Teleprompters should be a breeze. Barack accomplished minimizing faith based morality (staunch opposition to abortion) by challenging it with what he termed as ‘reason’. He was able to do it with ‘words’. There is no doubt that Obama is a silver tongued devil. He wrapped sweet bread around a bitter pill, told a few jokes (that even humored me), and spent the next 15 minutes stroking viewers throats to help them swallow it. The roaring applause both coming and going surely would lead one to believe that victory had already been achieved and this commencement was going to be another award ceremony and acceptance speech by Barack Obama. He was even deemed a hero for merely showing up amid such ‘opposition’. Wow, what bravery?

On the issue of abortion, Obama inferred (without restating his own personal conviction), that advocates of the Pro-Life movement would never view the controversy as anything but murder. Likewise, he rationed that Pro-Choice advocates will never view abortion as anything less than a woman’s right to choose. Obama rightly reasoned that fewer abortions could be avoided by supporting various alternatives, better education, and perhaps some restrictive parameters. Obama’s political objective concerning abortion is clearly from a liberal stance, which will always deliver that usual trove of support from that group. However, his prize and grand effort will always be to sway the largest portion of the undecided, independent or middle. Satisfaction of winning over any targeted group allows him and his party’s agenda to gain the high ground. Therefore, it was not important to win the abortion debate, but overwhelmingly sweet to sway enough priests, clerics, scholars, parochial educators, and masses of young new grads to break the authority of the Papacy and its staunch interpretation of life. This parting of conviction should be profound, no matter what side of the issue you support. The build-up to this ‘Obama drama’ was as carefully implemented and targeted as a trendy shoe commercial by Nike. With much of the public tuned-in, the President heralded to the world that he had effectively usurped, through a sort of religious mutiny, the power of the Catholic Church. By winning such adversaries, Obama had broken the Vatican’s mojo. He was able to infiltrate and compromise the collective, Catholic conscious toward Pro-Life. It was the will of the Order to recognize this publicly, with full pomp and regalia, and then parallel it with another symbolic victory (Brown vs. Board of Education) in order to give it some figment of analogical legitimacy. It was not by chance that our first president of color, whose integrated genes of both black and white, was receiving an honorary degree for his accomplishments 55 years to the day of a Supreme Court decision that paved the way for the civil rights movement. Make no mistake, I am certainly in agreement that no one be treated less a man for the color of his skin, but also that we should never be deceived by the true motive behind any man’s intention. In fairness to the President, that intention probably lies beyond him toward a larger entity.

Hypocrisy is easy to expose in any organization or religion. That no man is without sin is a concept that lies at the very foundation of Christianity. We have seen it over the years with Catholic priests, time and time again with politicians, and even more recently with something as benign as the Miss USA pageant. With every bad hypocritical affiliate, the entire institution takes the black eye, and with each bruise accepts a savage blow to their foundation. This divides those within; leaving the door open and the beams bare to the termites that would eat the floor. If you change your tone you may no longer be seen as an enemy. Barack openly admits that he does this with ‘words’. In his commencement speech he pointed out this fact from an incident he wrote about in one of his books. You might recall the doctor who wanted to vote for Obama, but was offended by his ‘tone’ toward a view held by those of more right-wing values which was posted on the Obama website. “So I changed my words,” he indicated, and wrote the gentleman back. No doubt he quelled the man’s fears with a more careful choice of words. However, and this is what I have failed to capture in Barack Obama, through all his political appointments, his rhetoric, and his tone, I’ve yet to see his actions match his rhetoric. Ronald Reagan, if he were still living today might say about Obama, “Trust what Obama has to say but verifying it by his actions.” What actions I have seen don’t seem to match his carefully chosen words. Or, perhaps his words are so cleverly arranged that there was no promise of action in the first place. That makes his words little more than consolation until he can do what he really wants to do, which I have seen from him a time or two.

It was me that wrote during the election that, Obama was a puppet that thinks he is a boy. Despite efforts by Notre Dame’s president, Father John Jenkins, to convince me that Barack Obama came from abject poverty and was without privilege; I see a man who was driven by liberal convictions that was ‘allowed’ to grow, succeed, and who was groomed into a position of usefulness by a New World Order. Did he work hard? Yes, he did. Is he an American success story? Yes, he certainly is. Is he a loving father and husband? He certainly seems to be. Is Barack Obama brilliant? Yes, he is. Is he courageous and can he led? Yes, and yes, I think he can. Is he handsome and capable of beating me one on one in a hoops contest? I wouldn’t stand a chance against him in looks or on the court. Has he surrounded himself with people I would trust? No, he hasn’t. Do I trust he is doing what is best for this country? No, I don’t. I don’t trust him or his handlers. Barack Obama did not just wander onto the scene, nor did George H.W. Bush or the Arkansas Kid from Hope, or Baby Bonesman Bush. They were all chosen for us and all continued us toward a New World Order. Abortion, Guns, Gays, and God all got their time when needed, and as tools of manipulation will get a lot more in the future. When Lucifer fell from Grace, he convinced a third of the angels in Heaven to go with him. Barack Obama is not Lucifer and he is not the Antichrist, but he has been able to pull at least half of the ‘voting public’ with him, even though he is the most radically left liberal President in history. He has not accomplished all this by his own effort.

Quote by David Rockefeller:

“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.)

I am sure that this quote could well include many more cooperative mediums from the very liberal NAZI warship at MSNBC to the right-wing agitating forces at Fox News. There is a little of something out there for everybody as long as the consorted effort funnels us toward upheaval, chaos, and the grand entry of a saving New World Order.

Many presidents since at least Woodrow Wilson have been Pitchmen for the New World Order and its agendas. Other president’s like the Bushes and Clinton have been salesmen for the coming of the Order. Today, however, the pitchmen and salesmen have vacated the sales office to bring in the man who has been chosen to ‘close the deal’. Not since Ronald Reagan has a president who is so obviously from one end of the political spectrum been so loved by so many. I believe Reagan had lived long enough and had experienced enough politics to discover that there were powers beyond this great nation that could make and break kings. I think that after the attempt on his life, he realized the part he was to play. I think he preformed that task on his own terms, and it cost him his mind. Barack is not silly enough to ignore the barely visible strings that are attached to his limbs. He enjoys performing and winning, but to what ends? The Order has enjoyed years of the Kennedy’s misfortune and even placed their duel purpose torch upon his tomb, a subtle reminder of who is really in charge. Generations of the public have seen a different light on JFK’s grave that has served as a beacon of hope in their eyes. But, JFK was another time and from a different generation than the recent graduates of Notre Dame. Like Lincoln before him, Kennedy has become a revered but distant memory. Will the Order need yet another martyr, another visionary of hope, another prince to immortalize in marble and flame? God help us all when our usefulness to a cause is worth more being dead than alive. I believe that faith, prayer, and belief in God spared Ron Reagan from the Order that willed George H.W. Bush to enter the presidency at an earlier date. It is hard to say if any of these presidents were inherently evil. Reagan, however, was effectively terminated by his ‘disease’ after his service to his country. Conveniently, we’ll not know of deeper secrets he might have shared about his administration. Bush senior welcomed the Order, Clinton helped it along, and little Bush jumped on the grenade so-to-speak to make Obama seem like the coolest thing since Camelot. Obama has what it takes to close the deal. He was the Chosen Closer of a deal that is already done, save the signature of ‘We the People’ on the paperwork. Pray for him, even if you don’t like his politics or far left wacky ideas. Do it for your own Karma if nothing more. Protect him with your prayers that the Order that made him won’t take him and use him beyond his life. If the Order needs a civil war to accomplish their need his sacrifice will come violently. If they feel it necessary to martyr him without civil upheaval, they will likely target his (past or present) smoking history and give him a radically quick killing cancer so we may sorrowfully praise his accomplishments and pledge to carry out his dream. The Order will have its way by force or submission. They will not hesitate to exploit anyone or any thing to get it.

The Two Wrongs

Oh, the beautiful jewels I learned from my childhood! As Forrest Gump might have said, “Momma always told me that two wrongs don’t make a right.” You know, I believe Momma was right about that. However, how does one make right of two wrongs? What is right or righteous depends on what side of the argument you are on that generated the two wrongs that have occurred in the first place. Take a room full of people dining in a restaurant. They come from all walks of life. Some are at big tables and some at more intimate two-seaters. Perhaps there are a few at the bar or in a quaint booth, but the atmosphere is pleasant enough and though there is a lot of individual hob-knobbery going around, all have converged on this delightful spot for a common cause. They are imbibing in food, drink and conversation. That is or was until someone flatulates. Yes, exactly, someone not only passes pooh; but it was both silent and extremely obnoxious to the olfactory. What turns out to be even more amazing is that it was the guy that came in for carry-out that actually unloaded the quiet ‘stench bomb’ and he quickly exited the establishment with a bag of buffalo wings, fist full of napkins, a few plastic forks, a toothpick, and an after dinner mint. No one even noticed the devious little smirk on his face as he made his cheesy get away. The following chain of events begins to unwind thanks to the ‘fart-and-leave-the-room’ tactics of our tacky to-go order transient.

First there is the look of sudden betrayal on the faces of the patrons who immediately are taken a back at the noxious odor. Eyebrows raise and jaws drop in a near gagging reflex. Thoughts like, “Jesus H. Christ, who the hell shit their pants… God Bless America… Did someone just die… Sweet mother of pearl, what on freaking earth could smell like that?” Well, nobody wants to say it out loud, but you know the accusations are as airborne as the brown cloud that has engulfed the entire eatery. And now the prejudices start. “I bet it was the old granny at the table over there, or it had to be that fat guy that got up to go to the restroom a while ago.” Others might be accusing their own party, certain that their own spouse, boyfriend, mother or cousin was the rotten culprit. Some with a keen sense of smell might even recognize it as, “One of Bobby’s stinkers!”

Ultimately, someone is gonna laugh and it will cause Granddad to lose is anal retention as his dentures start floating in his mouth and he sets off one of his own loud butt clappers.

“Yeah, I thought he was the guilty one!” comes the accusation from across the aisle. “Stick it up your ass; you probably did it, you freaking homo!” shouts the defense.

Well, now the name calling has started, and the lesbian couple who just a few minutes ago were entwined in their own private conversation has sprung into action.

“Homo?” questions the pale gothic princess as her handsome mullet-wearing girlfriend angrily motions with her index finger, “You redneck, beer can crushing, piece of trailer park trash!”

Disgusted with the whole scene, a clone of Michael Jordan shakes his bald head, throwing his hands up in the air and says, “Leave it to a bunch of Crackers to ruin a perfect evening.”

With that the ‘N’ word pops out and it is now ‘assholes and elbows’ until the cops finally break-up the seemingly unintelligible tragedy of errors. The damage to the diner is probably in the thousands; lawsuits are going to follow, and someone was bound to be caught cheating on their wife with a young debutant thanks to the arrival of the media. It probably took days of interviews and careful crime scene reconstruction to sort out all the guilty parties.

What had begun as so wonderfully diverse, communal, joyous, enriching, and cerebral, ended with confusion, accusation, hate and ugliness. An opportunistic and prankish deed, led an entire room into chaos. The rude and comical turned to rude and vicious by the mistaking of a cause or fault, which in itself churned-up either the deep ceded prejudice or just plain stupid misspeak that resulted in property damage, cuts, bruises, and possibly long term animosity.

Now, let’s fast forward to a similar scenario at this date. Russian tanks and BMPs loaded with Russian troops rolled into the sovereign country of Georgia. They disproportionately destroyed property, sunk ships, killed Georgian troops and civilians, apparently as a result of Georgian military aggression against provinces within Georgia friendly to Moscow. So says the Russian government. However, the military action taken by the Georgians against those provinces ‘friendly’ to Russian rule occurred within the borders of Georgia. Ironically, Russia charged Georgia of attempts at ethnic cleansing that echoed the same charges waged against the Russians by the free world during the Clinton years. We busted the Soviet ‘Republic’ (it is claimed) by both outspending them militarily and by their own faulty military exploits in Afghanistan. In breaking them, we never really tried to fix them or perhaps (and more likely) they didn’t want to be fixed by us. In my lifetime I have seen the former Soviet Union go from our military equal and nemesis, to a poverty stricken nation with a spooky amount of unchecked nukes, biological WMDs, and scattered military hardware. Even scarier is that since the fall of the iron curtain, it seems the Russians have regrouped enough to say, “Nyet” to former Soviet satellites becoming too friendly with the capitalistic West. The Russians have instilled an uncomfortable challenge in this region that is so familiar to them, and offered the West something unsettling to chew on to boot. The Russians are telling the republics of the former Warsaw Pact that they can be crushed at Moscow’s whim, and that their dealings with the West had better pass Russia’s own litmus test first. They are telling the West, “This is our back yard, not the Cuban Isles of the 1960’s, and if we don’t like what is going on around our buffer areas, we will send your influence packing as you once did Khrushchev’s ships and missiles. It's your move; and what if I am not bluffing? What are you prepared to do? ”

On the flip side of the coin, the US has announced on numerous occasions that they are behind the democratically elected leaders of Georgia and other regions, and support their economies while welcoming doing business with them. Americans and Europeans are rightly appalled by the actions of Russia against the tiny country of Georgia, their President, and their newly established democracy. As of the writing of this piece, Russia was still occupying parts of Georgia and will perhaps threaten their capitol. Who is in the wrong and who is in the right in this very intense situation? It is my own opinion that the actions of Russia were simply a matter of time. It was a ticking bomb; a predictable event. We know in fact that the US had advised Georgia not to take military action in these ‘Moscow friendly’ areas within the Georgian borders. This obviously indicates that the US was well aware of how this type of action by Georgia would be received by the Russians. It was also reported that the US saw (probably by satellite) the Russian armed forces mustering to the border of Georgia before the new democracy actually exercised its ‘right’ to impose its will within its own boundaries. Yet, Georgia pressed on with its own exercise. Why? Why, press on in full knowledge that there would certainly be a response? I think I have the answer, but I want to clarify something before I expose the catalyst of this calculated act of destiny.

In the early days of our own country’s infancy, many of our founding fathers advised that we as a nation steer clear of permanent alliance with any part of the foreign world. They knew the dangers of commitment within trade alliances that could be manipulated by those of unscrupulous wealth. I contend that these suspicions were directed toward the agendas of European leadership, knowledge hording brotherhoods, and the family owned banks of Europe. Whether I am right or wrong on my hypothesis, the will of our forefathers toward permanent alliances with any part of the foreign world is duly documented and cannot be denied. Since our meager beginnings, I feel these ‘wolves’ have constantly been at our door, and I also believe their persistence has paid-off. Our modern trade agreements have made us slaves to foreign and domestic creditors to which our own body of lawmakers are helpless to intervene. Many of our lawmakers are in fact part of this New World Order philosophy. Our own borders are now porous, and illegal aliens have literally invaded our country while lawmakers in Washington have chosen to look the other way. Why? I believe that whatever the reason, it is part of the New World plan or agenda. Today there is a Euro-dollar, and there is evidence that in our part of the globe we are considering an Amero-dollar. If this is scaring me to death in my own country, I can now understand why Russia might be nervous. Americans are not as free as we used to be in the US, and though communism in the former Soviet Union was dark and oppressive, they had successfully held off the New World agenda’s effects upon them by keeping their influences outside of their borders. In other words, they haven’t fallen in line with the New World Order philosophy. I believe they fear this philosophy more than capitalism; seeing the former as an evil extreme of the latter. This has resulted in Russia’s isolation from the rest of the free world; a world in which even Red China is embracing on its own terms. Present Russia is still leery of the Order, as they have realized they have become an unwilling participant in a New World chess game. The greed of power and riches within our leadership sold our own nation to the Order. We all went about our busy lives, while allowing each uncomfortable encroachment without protest due to secret meeting and negotiations behind our backs.

Now, media reporters like Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck have exposed the many fires that have been started but either don’t recognize the root of the problems or have realized they are helpless to extinguish them. The world is now in the death throes of the jaws of the New World Order. Henry Kissinger indicated many years ago that this New World Order would come about by submission or force, but we would have it one way or the other. Bush senior stated openly and with open arms that we should welcome this New World Order just after the Gulf War. Clinton sealed our fate by making permanent alliances and ‘not-so-fair’ trade agreements, while G.W. Bush has done everything in his power it seems to keep the pieces moving on the New World chessboard. Maybe we do need this New World Order. Perhaps it is the only way we will survive on a planet with limited resources. And as our nation of sheeple remain clueless despite a few pockets of resistance; Russia’s leadership remains helplessly aware of the predicament they are in with the New World Order. Patience has always been the virtue of the Order’s agenda. The people of the world are basically good. It is more complicated when it comes to our leadership, however. Many, who don’t see the agenda or much less even care about it, are guided by their own greed and libido. They are making hay while the sun shines. Some of them feel that they will be included in this New World Order hierarchy. Who really knows exactly, when the multitude of us aren’t in the information loop? It doesn’t make the lot of them evil or plotting. And what of the Georgian President; is he a bad guy? I say no. Is he a pawn, a Bishop, a Knight, or a Rook? Well, I am certain he is a tool of manipulation as are many leaders and influential people around the globe. From the Castro’s and bin Laden’s to the Clinton’s and the Bush’s, the Order has the ability to entice, agitate, influence, and manipulate the human psyche. They force a move, and with each move there are calculated consequences.

In closing, I have to expose who I think was the catalytic agent that farted and left room in the Russia/Georgia conflict. When it flashed up on the TV screen beside the Georgian President’s picture on CNN it actually made me grin. Recall that the US warned Georgia of the possible consequences of military action against the Ossetians. The Russians signaled what they were going to do by the observance of their early military movements. Someone urged a move on the chessboard which forced someone to do something else. That something has us where we are today; waiting for the next shoe to drop. So far only the Georgian people have suffered en masse. The US has committed to fare on the side of Georgia. Russia made its move and made its intensions known that it will not recognize Georgia and that the world better deal with them. Russia has now told the West, “It’s your move.” Oh, and before I forget, the text beside the Georgian’s President’s name said something to this effect. The Georgian President had been in the past year or few years named ‘Man of the Year’ by none other than the World Bank. Bet you didn’t smell that coming. They like changing the world, and dragging Russia into any conflict will certainly achieve that goal. I wrote what I am about to say some time ago when I noticed a ticker tape news alert on the bottom of the TV screen during a CNN news story. That story, of much lesser importance, involved that crazy wench whose brave son was killed in Iraq. She had her big ass planted outside of Bush’s Crawford, Texas ranch. The ticker indicated that Russia and China had just completed their first joint military exercise in history. I don’t know about you, but I think I smell something bad again.

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.

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

2009-04-30T22:20:00.001-07:00

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.

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.

Levelheaded Bob

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.

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!

(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.

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?
