Dedication
Someone has to take an interest in what this country is doing to them. We must face reality. We must help the very backbone of our country. Without them, we would be nothing and we would have nothing. They are the very machinery that makes this system work. They are the system. They are the reason there is a system. They perpetuate the system. With out them there is no system or a need for one. When there is a major catastrophe they are always the final answer to our problems. This will be no exception.
Let us see the system make believe they can understand this and act accordingly. These people have some much earned respect coming to them. It is very disconcerting seeing the way all levels of society are deteriorating. This is just used as a tool to get a political party in office. Meanwhile after the election the poor man seems to get poorer. Just take a breath, hold on and god Bless you, the working class.
I think the country might just wake up. They must, this is a time where the working, average American is going to get us through. However they can’t do it alone. Those in power must get it together and play the game straight. This is the game of Life. Make believe it is if you have to. Play it like it is and you won’t lose. As you play a game to win right. Let’s wake up, listen to the common man, this is his time, and we will win.
Good Luck America!!!!

Foreword
Our goal is to ensure that the common citizen of any and every country in the world today realize what is happening often right in their midst. They must be made aware as to the complexities. They must be made aware of the real problems and issues that are confronting us today. Hopefully the knowledge will filter upward in the chain of governmental command. This has to happen since there certainly is nothing helpful filtering down from the top.
We will explain what is really happening in the Muslim world of today. We will explain why all this is happening. We will explain our corruptive involvement in the past. We will explain how that set up the world for to day’s current problems. Life of course has a cycle as do all aspects of “nature” and mans endeavors. With this end, religion too has a life cycle. We are right now living through and witnessing a point in the Religious cycle of Islam. We as Christians went through the same thing in the 12th and 13th centuries called the Christian Crusades. Believe it or not the Christian Crusades were equally as ruthless and dishonorable as the Islamist Jihad we are witnessing today.
The big problem and difference being that when we went through this point of the religious life cycle with the Christian crusades it was at a time in civilizations life cycle when ravaging, pillaging was normal. Taking what you want was accepted standard behavior. That was part of the development cycle of the world and civilization. We are through that now and we cannot go back. We must go forward continue the evolutionary process of man and the planet. We know that it only works in one direction. We are as a civilization beyond this kind of activity whether the whole world recognizes it or not. We are beyond the kind of activity that is developing as we speak. The world may even be beyond surviving the horrific turmoil and destruction that this development could bring.
As the United States is in the maturity stage of its life cycle so too is civilization and mans role in life on this planet. Western leaders in particular are at least aware as far as technology is concerned anyway, that there is no turning back, no rewinding of the clock. You can only continue to move forward. This principal applies to all aspects and levels of life on this planet and our universe. You cannot turn back time in any natural cycle of life. It knows and operates in only one direction, forward. It is up to us the common man to get the world, the Muslims, and our leaders to understand this. We have been there done that. Stuff happens, we cannot look back. We must get the collective world to accept their fate and role in this life. Then we can move forward as a planet, as a whole.
We are seriously hampering our ability to move forward as a country particularly right now in the lowest levels of society in America.
The Government under President Bush is moving their lifestyle and status backwards. This will lead to trouble in the long run. We can only hope that it will only affect our political parties and not us as a Nation and world. People, particularly those of the lower classes are beginning to wake up.
They are beginning to understand that there is no one on their side at this time. It is not just our politicians on every level that seem to be increasingly self concerned and inept in their jobs and society. We pose the question in every form of politics and our lives? Are we better off today after 50 years of them helping us? The answer seems to be consistently that we are worse off as a result of years of misdirection and corruption.
It has become acceptable on every level of society bar no office or standing, to lie in order to get what you want. It has gotten too competitive. As our economy continues to worsen and tighten. Things are not going to change while we are under the misdirection of the current Administration this will never stop. We must attempt to circumvent the attempt to turn us around morally. We must endeavor to avoid what is getting ready to be a horrific if not cataclysmic event. We must remember that we are beyond this as a world. We must not forget that nature only moves in one direction, forward.
It absolutely astounds many of us that our Government leaders still do not realize what we are up against. They continue to play childish games amongst themselves. It is often at the expense of the welfare of the public. It is often at the expense of just doing the right thing for the people, the country, and the world. President Bush is so proud to speak of our accomplishments in our war against the Islamist Jihadists and how we are winning the war. It hasn’t even started yet. These are just the opening vollies. In this case I’m afraid Nostradamus was right in his estimate of this conflict lasting 27 years.
President Bush is continuing to mislead the people and it will only get worse for us. He is under the false impression that he has a mandate to implement his policies and continue on his course of destruction. Nothing, in reality, is farer from the truth. His own supporters in a majority disagree with most of what he has done. He will continue to show that he does not care what anyone else thinks or feels. As he thinks wrongly that his way is the only way. When he is done wrecking everything that touches his hands the religious right can hold themselves accountable. They are directly responsible for what he is going to do to them and the rest of us.
He keeps telling the people that it is better to fight the terrorists in Iraq. He tells you that we are drawing them out in order to fight them there rather than on our own soil. This too is an absolute total fabrication. Just reflect on this subject for a moment. You too will quickly realize you are once again letting him mislead you, and that is a fact. We attacked Afghanistan. We already drew them out. Anyone with just a little bit of sense knows that. We watched the Soviets mired in a quagmire of endless combatants for years. Wherever we confront the terrorist’s there will be a continuous endless flow of Jihadist’s to take up the cause of western destruction. A little bit of honesty goes a long way. This is not or should not be one of their childish Political games but once again it is.
We listen to too many of the retired Generals saying that we must end the war in Iraq as quickly as possible. They are fond of saying that we must if at all possible have it done in 5 years or less. This is so people don’t grow weary and lose interest. Forget about it. That is an absolute pipe dream. We purposely and unnecessarily opened up a war on two fronts. When we know this is just beginning, another front will open anyway. There are a multitude of potential fronts around the world threatening to open up. Without a doubt, some of them doubtlessly will. We will definitely find it necessary to once again continue the draft. It will be necessary even though this is being denied all along. This could have been circumvented but not now. We will persevere however some body of consequence has to start thinking.
The Generals wrote the book called “the End Game”. It is really stupefying to know that the endgame should have been planned before we went in and it wasn’t. That is inexcusable. We seem to continually and unnecessarily shoot ourselves in the foot. We continue to make things worse for ourselves. We knew before we even went into Iraq of the potential risks. For some reason we chose to ignore all advice. We went in knowing of the potential problems that could arise. Every one of them and more are coming true.
We are continuously making things harder on ourselves. We knew before we went into Iraq of the many potential risks in unsettling the political balance in that region. We knew of the strong potential for internal conflicts. We knew what would be the most obvious definite response. We knew this would only serve to further enflame tensions with the Muslim world. Tensions are already tight and we go ahead and do the very thing that they are rebelling against. I know President Bush tells us otherwise. With that aside we are doing no one a favor especially ourselves, by going into Iraq the way we did. There must be someone up there that knows how to think and plan.
We have got to stop all this pervasive lying. It’s ruining our economy, our country and the world. We are losing our collective morality and must regain it. We have too many problems and inequities right here at home to deal with.
We must get back to the real meaning of the Constitution. We can no longer expect people to be honest or to do the right thing once they are a member of your society. This was the common feeling and was the driving thought in Thomas Jefferson’s drafting of the Constitution. It has been distorted to fit the selfish needs of those with personal agendas. We have got to realize what we are doing. We must learn as a Nation to accept the repercussions of our actions. We must hold ourselves accountable for our future.
We have facing us today in our own country our biggest challenges
ever. We are the problem. You will see that we are denigrating our governmental and societal systems. We are in such turmoil right here at home with the abuse of our moral base on all levels. Especially the political and media systems as a result terrorism is the least of our worries. This, despite what you are hearing. We must for the sake of society’s future. For the benefit of the country, and the world we must clean up our collective moral abuse.Our ruling “aristocracy”, Government, Social, and Business leaders, are failing us miserably. This is happening at a time when all the good and the bad in our systems will be illuminated, showcased. All that we see in our leaders does not bear well. It is a dark tunnel and since we have yet to see any light in or at the end of the tunnel we are still waiting to see our shining light of hope. We, in “the trenches of American Society know that he she they are out there. We are merely waiting for them to step forward and save the day, we will save it.
We go on to illustrate the feelings in the world at the time our country was formed. We go on to illustrate the deep effect the Enlightenment had in forming the beliefs of our country. It had special meaning for its leaders particularly Thomas Jefferson and his draft of The Constitution.
We explain discuss and hopefully understand the complexities, realities and unknowns of God and his influence. With emphasis on what is happening in our Societies and around the world today. It is all about God and there is no religion that is even allowed to voice his name. No one in the established religions is even allowed to attempt a physical description of God. By admission and teachings, no one even knows the facts of God. We only that he indeed is a fact and it is time we taught them.
We continue to forge into the future. We have yet to understand or fail to admit, that we do not even know the facts of our past. We all know that you cannot build on a shaky foundation and expect it to hold up in any condition. This is true in any form, a building, religion, the country. It behooves us to understand God and our true past at this point in time. We must do this before we move into the future in the wrong direction. We owe it to our ancestors ourselves, and future generations.
We hear from the most respected and well read philosophers in the history of civilized man. We learn of the fact that they based their beliefs on the astrological system. It falls perfectly into my thoughts at least. Now we are finding out that Nostradamus too based all his predictions on the astrological alignment and the solar system. He is right too many times for one to not come to the conclusion that they are all right. Our planet and future are directly intertwined with nature. We are therefore simply a part of the same body called the universe.
Every action begets a reaction and often we are ill prepared to deal with it. Nostradamus will magnificently illustrate our direct control over the future. He will tell us what direction the future takes. Nostradamus presented us with a nightmarish scenario. He implied that there would be fierce global conflicts around the world over religion and ethnicity as we know. It is happening everywhere. People are prepared to destroy the world as we know it. They are willing to kill their National brethren and everyone else. For something they can not even speak of with any knowledge what so ever. It is all about God.
Nostradamus goes on to imply that our burgeoning population could eventually overtax civilization and the world. Again he is right. He went on to explain that this was only one of the possibilities. It is all up to us. We could avoid this but it was up to us. He also called for a new religiousness, a new religious consciousness. We talk about this. We illustrate in our discussion and our time line that he is right and we are right. Life is cyclical and can be predicted to a degree. Events are also influenced to a point by our own actions or inactions. The future of our systems, society nature and the planet are up to us. All of them are up to us and we must not fail.
Life today The real story
Chapter 1
Real life in these United
States
It is becoming increasingly more obvious that we are no longer, “a Government, of the people, for the people, by the people”. We are in fact run and unduly influenced by the media as the mouthpiece, the legal system as the day by day enforcer, and the political system as the facilitator. This is for those that wish to use the country and the Government for their own selfish purposes.
Now, I will be totally honest with you. I was sugar coating the severity of the problems we are currently facing. I was downplaying our real situation in our first book so as not to overwhelm and alienate too much of the public. It is becoming increasingly obvious that there is no longer, any time to beat about the bush. We, as a Nation, are in trouble, and must face it head on as we are told we are, but not quite.
We can, and will, lick these problems. However many of us must be brought into line as to the real situations we are facing. If you have read our first book then you already have our web site. Please ensure that as many of our fellow citizens as possible get it. You can then let the rest of us know what problems you see that are in addition to the ones we already stated. We can then include them in our next book. Hopefully we can include them in our very do-able scheme to repair our Governmental systems and fix the ills in our country.
What we are really facing is a complete breakdown of the rule of law, and our much venerated Governmental system. This is what I really saw happening thirty years ago.
We can fix it, and I know how, we must all cooperate, and get busy. We also have the perfect way to do just this. At the same time we can take it completely out of the hands of the very systems that are responsible for the vast majority of our societal problems. The worse transgressors to the proper operation of our government are the media, legal, and political systems. Impossible you say no problem whatsoever. We will have the whole world involved in this project, and wanting to vie in solving our problems, just watch listen and learn.
Too many of our ancestors, and fellow countrymen and women have sacrificed their lives for us and our countries future, for us to just allow our country to fall completely apart. We can not insult the memory and sacrifices of our ancestors.
We are going to be discussing in detail what we propose shortly. If we miss a problem or remedy we hope that one of you out there notice our omission and straighten us out.
You all know we discussed in depth the overwhelming irresponsibility and outright ineptitude of a large majority of politicians. They seem to have an inclination to be less than honest. They do whatever they can to further their political parties interest and not the best interest of the people. This, as we discussed is happening in large part from the top of the Government, down. Now that we are into the political season it is increasingly more prevalent. I, as I’m sure most of you are, am sick of hearing how Senators Kerry and Edwards are as much at fault as President Bush for the apparent intelligence shortcomings on and around 9/11. They are also given partial responsibility for the ensuing intelligence faults in justifying going to war with Iraq. That as I’m sure most of you will agree, is a bunch of bull. Senators Kerry and Edwards can only ask questions and give advice. Just like everyone else on the intelligence committee, or any other committee that answers to the President.
The ultimate responsibility of course, is the Presidents. All the good, or for that matter, bad advice in the world is worthless and sometimes harmless if it is ignored. We assumed that the President, upon surrounding himself with the very best advisers, and staff, would be smart enough to listen to them. If it was needed we assumed that he could ask the right questions, but this has not proven to be true. I can’t be the only one that wonders how it is that his staff, many of which have been in government for thirty plus years, and worked for two or more Presidents all of a sudden are forgetting or failing to tell this President things, and are being made out to be inept.
They can only give advice. It is up to him and past Presidents to ask the right questions and do the right thing. We are all aware that as a country, or should I say Government, we cut the C.I.A. and the military to the bone, and drastically tied their hands. To my own recollection no party or President since President Bush 41 has done the right thing as far as the C.I.A. and the military goes. This goes back at the very least to the ending of the cold war.
While many of us saw a plethora of new and worse problems facing us, with now many ex Soviet Block countries. All of these countries were without the knowledge, ability, or finances, to deal with their new situation. All of them did not have the ability to take care of the many nuclear weapons, nuclear waste, chemical and biological weapons, etc. to secure them. Our leaders in all their wisdom scared us even more by thinking, and only God knows how that we no longer needed to keep up with our military. A total ignoramus, (excuse my blunt honesty), could see our needs would increase dramatically at this moment, and would have to be vastly increased.
This by no means is armchair quarterbacking, but plain old basic, thinking man, common sense. We are now playing catch up, not since 9/11, but since the end of the cold war. 9/11 might have been a wake up call for some of our leaders but some of us were awake enough to see the reality of our situation. We watched in frustration as our leaders were further tying our hands. What is even worse is that some have still not woken up, and might never wake up. We keep hearing about how much safer we are today, but in reality we are a lot less safe and a lot more unstable.
We are facing today, with the hopeful death or capture of Mullah Omar, Bin Laden, and Al Zarqawi, exactly what we were facing with the end of the cold war. Including, sadly enough, our Government leaders failing to understand what is going to happen once the three perceived leaders of this so called terrorist movement are dispatched. There will no longer be anyone to hold them together, give them order, and restrain them. Can you just imagine thousands of these goons roaming around our country and the world causing mass mayhem at their own discretion? These problems are just beginning whether you realize it or not. More unbelievable is that this is a natural occurrence with the maturing of a religion, and this too we will explain further on in our conversation.
Let’s take a little time to discuss the Sandy Berger incident. As we know, he can’t be totally stupid, “we hope”. If so, he never would have held the position he held under President Clinton as National Security Adviser. Lets be honest, this was no simple honest mistake. Not unless his honest mistake was getting caught doing something stupid.
We all know that as vital a position as he held in the Government, he knew unequivocally that what he was doing at the National Archives was wrong. He was taking too many obvious liberties in trying to evade observation. What he was doing is inexcusable for the average citizen let alone someone of his stature and experience. What I don’t understand in the first place is why the staff observed him stuffing secret documents in his clothing and didn’t immediately approach him. All they had to do was to set him straight. Ask him if he was aware of what he was doing, receive an apology, and be done with it. That said, regardless of what he used as an excuse, you know for a fact he was up to no good.
He was, although in an unpaid position, working for Senator Kerry’s election campaign. He was obviously pulling and hiding or destroying documents sensitive to his parties standing. This we must assume to be the case because he must be smart enough to remember what he’d been looking at and reading during the course of the day and write about it when he arrived home. It is really disheartening to see our leaders of government act less than moral. After all, they are not only our government leaders, but should be setting the standard for morality as our moral leaders. Instead they seem to be setting the example for immorality as the vast majority, seem to be. It is really sickening, you hear as I do that people do not admit to lying anymore. They are just misquoted, misunderstood, or taken out of context, regardless of party, position, or stature in the public.
This is a terrible example we are setting for our children and society as a whole. People, all people, must be made to realize that they are accountable for their actions. In turn they should be held accountable for whatever they say or do. We have a responsibility to society to do the right thing for society not you. Let’s talk about the Republicans misreaction to the situation. One has to first wonder of what political persuasion the people were that observed Mr. Berger in the first place, it sounds like a setup to me. Just what was their ulterior motive, we know too that, they also had one.
We then have to wonder why this probe into Mr. Berger’s activities has been on going for more than six months and right at this critical moment for the Democrats, it is leaked. Of course any complicity with the Republicans was denied, just another coincidence.
This is just plain childish and irresponsible. We just can’t seem to get any honesty, accountability, and responsibility, out of our political leaders. What is even worse is that they get away with it. How on earth do we justify getting on the Martha Stuarts of the country for acting less than honestly, let alone our children. It is hard to hold them accountable when we can’t get it from our leaders, this is just all wrong.
It is again tiring to constantly hear how the office of president of the United States should be respected regardless of what you think of the President. I agree with this 100%. The office should be respected, but not the person occupying the chair. A good person, let alone the President should know you command respect you don’t demand it. This particular President has brought the office of the Presidency to world record lows. If you expect respect you must act respectful. I hate to say this but I don’t see this quality in either the President or his would be successor.
Before we finish with the subject of Sandy Berger I just want to reiterate that there is no way he deserves the benefit of the doubt for his alleged illicit activities at the National Archives. I don’t know about you, but I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and every time I do, I get burned. As a former Security Adviser, his behavior during his antics, show that he knew exactly what he was doing, and that it was wrong. Of course, like everything else that is happening by coincidence in Government today, we will never know the truth.
I listened to the news all night again last night, both local and world news, and it is so disheartening to hear. Not probably for the reason you might think. Believe it or not it’s not so much for all the rampant anarchy happening here, there, and everywhere, but the lack of morality.
This is going to bring us shortly to the subject of life, what is happening in the world today, and the role of religion, and God, in all this. I personally guaranty you that you will be astounded, and blown away, it is so obvious. You will be amazed that you never heard this before. Many of us have heard some of this before but never in the right context or with the right answers I believe.
This lack of morality as we all know is absolutely, totally, everywhere. It is prevalent on every single level of life, bar none. Almost not a single person seems to be able to be honest, and say or do the right thing. We really have an ill, “sick”, society. We cannot go on this way. We are getting as a society more corrupt and dishonest, on a daily basis. It seems like it has become our National pastime to see what you can get away with. To do what you want, regardless of how violent or illegal, then be less than honest and see if you can get away with it. It has begun to look like a disease.
Gee! I better not mention that. It would just be another cop out for those that want it. Maybe we can get Medicare to pay for this too. You know, they are going to be asked to start paying for obesity since it has been declared a disease. Yes, some people, I think, do have a valid medical problem, but not the vast majority. Why don’t we kill accountability and responsibility altogether, because that is exactly what we are doing?
Instead of making we the people pay for what by vast majority is a lack of discipline and misinformation, let us at least tackle this problem with the right answers. The industries feeding (sorry, for the pun), the problem should be made one way or the other to reimburse the public. They should be held accountable for all the illicit gains they have made in the process of purposely misinforming the people.
Look, as we all hear constantly, we are a mess, but let’s start putting responsibility where it belongs. We are being manipulated from beginning to end. We are the producers and the consumers. We are the industry and the economy, its all about us. At least it should be about us, let’s talk about straightening things out. You know, since I was I child I have watched friends and relatives physically being taken apart piece by piece until they died.
Dying is merely prolonged often at the cost of much pain and discomfort to the patient. Death was inevitable in the first place, so in reality we are just perpetuating an industry, us. In this case it is for the benefit of the medical industry. They take you apart piece by piece knowing they have kept you alive but not better, often just to perpetuate an industry. We are just like the sheep for the elite of the country that has bothered me for years, let’s talk about it.
You know, when you think about it, what we said about the politicians also applies to every single field which deals with the public bar none. In this instance let’s talk about the medical field. They, by any standard are on the top of the list in their abuse of the public. The medical Industry is full of corruptive inequities all of them built in for the benefit of the industry not you of course. After 50 years of their medical expertise just exactly what is better besides the technology. You know sadly enough you can apply this to any field today and it would hold true. Businesses, agencies, people as a whole, they don’t seem to have your best interest in mind, or societies.
We talked about how it is not right that Americans foot the bill for the research and development costs while the rest of the world enjoys a free ride at our expense. This is systematically wrong when you have to go out of the country to buy affordable medication that is often times made right here. Our immediate neighbors included, enjoy cut rate prices, this is not right. There is most definitely something wrong here and it is amazing that the pharmaceutical industry has gotten away with this all these years. Well, as I’m sure we are all aware; this is just the tip of the iceberg.
As I’ve been thinking about how to start with this problem across the wire comes the fact that Merck the producer of viox knew all along that the arthritis drug caused major heart problems. They hid the fact from the public at their health and possible life, in order to recover their expenses. Once they have made their money they remove it from the market in order to cover themselves legally. I for one think that this is an outrage. There must be a way to fight these outrages that are occurring throughout our systems.
What on earth is wrong with the medical industry in America in the first place? As we have started to measure the situation in every facet of life. You have to ask this question. Are we better off as a result of what they have done for us or are we just as bad off as we were 50 years ago? It is a resounding failure for Medical Science in particular. We have up to this point, failed in our attempt at curing and prevention of sickness and disease. This is from a book by Kevin Trudeau called, “Natural cures they don’t want you to know about”.
Think about these facts, and I really found a lot of this surprising. More people get colds and flu’s than ever before. There is more cancer, more diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, chronic fatigue, stomach problems, attention deficit disorder, depression, stress, anxiety, and many, many more, you name it. There is most definitely something grossly awry here and we are up to this point failing to address the real problem once again. You have toThink, and realize that this too is part of the plan.
Look at the cost of drugs, look at the cost of medical care, this all tells us that medical science is failing us. More people are getting medical treatment and taking more drugs than ever before. May I add sometimes at the cost of lives of some in the public as a result of insufficient testing in the rush to get it on the market. Their goal is not to help you, but to earn money no matter what the cost. There is no morality involved what so ever, this is abhorrently wrong. We are spending more money on prescriptions and medical care and we just don’t seem to be getting our money’s worth. Medical service in every degree is getting worse at a time when it is becoming ever more critical.
More people are getting sick than ever before, with many sickness and illnesses we once had cures for, now making a resurgence with new strains often resistant to existent medication. Diseases are mutating to form prescription resistant strains. Medical Science appears to be failing; according to Fortune magazine we are losing the war on cancer. The percentage of Americans dying of cancer is greater than it was in 1970, even greater than in 1950. Something is seriously wrong here, I was personally led to believe that the war against cancer was being won but once again we are being misled.
Over $200 billion has been spent in the attempt to prevent and cure cancer since 1971 and yet you have a higher risk of getting cancer than ever before in history. What I found surprising is that you stand the same chance of dying from cancer as you did in 1950. This sounds like a failure to me at least it is a failure to the public. Their shareholders are doing just fine and while it is important to maximize profits for your shareholders, not at the expense of morality and the American public.
We as Americans spend more than $2 trillion a year on healthcare. That is more than any other country in the world yet our infant mortality rate is higher than many other developed countries. People in many countries live longer than Americans yet we consume over half of all the drugs manufactured in the world. There are over 200,000 non-prescription drugs and 30,000 prescription drugs on the market, with Doctors writing over 3 billion prescriptions every year.
The bottom line is the drug companies are doing very well for themselves with their profits at an all time high. The only winners here appear to be the drug companies in their ability to earn higher profits. They manage to keep their market wide open in order to keep their companies earning higher profits.
Their other goal is to keep the general public sick and buying less than the optimum drug for the public not the pharmaceutical company’s profits.
One has to come to think that we the public are in every scope, the engines for industry. We are the industry; there would be no companies if not for us. We are responsible for their being and success as a company. We should be taken care of in one respect or the other, in service, financial rewards, something. We have once again shown that we are perpetuating an industry, this time the medical industry, this is beginning to feel a little too much, like belonging to the man.
If there was a serious effort to help the general public and not the investing public we would have the answers to many of our medical questions by now. The medical industry doesn’t want you to be cured; it is their job to keep you sick. If they cured you they would be losing a customer. If trillions of dollars and some of the most brilliant minds in the world can’t prevent or cure illness and disease, something is wrong. All publicly traded corporations are required by law to increase profits that by default puts you the consumer in the back seat. We have the ability to come up with some cures not just remedies and you can be sure of it. The problem is that cures don’t earn them money remedies do.
Healthcare by definition is the cure, prevention, and diagnosis of disease, and is the most profitable industry in the world. As long as people are sick billions and billions of dollars are made in the healthcare industry every year. There are enormous amounts of money to be made by the healthcare industry as long as people stay sick. A healthy person doesn’t spend any money on healthcare. A healthy person doesn’t buy drugs, and doesn’t need medical treatment. So there fore this is considered as a hindrance to the corporations that are part of the healthcare industry.
If everyone was healthy and disease free the entire medical community would come to a halt. They would go out of business’ wow, think about it. To the pharmaceutical and medical industry involved in healthcare you as I’m sure we all know, are just a potential customer as long as you are sick. There isn’t any financial incentive for the healthcare industry in seeing people live sickness free. So you see, the entire medical industry is once again driven by one goal and motivation and that is to make money.
Just remember that the healthcare industry is the most lucrative industry in the world. As long as people remain sick, the industry is making billions of dollars. The end of the story is this, the healthcare industry has no incentive whatsoever for curing disease. If the healthcare industry cured disease, an entire population of medical industry workers would be out of work. The focus for the medical industry is not to keep you sick but to keep you coming back and that sounds familiar to all of us.
We have all heard by now that the tobacco industry had lied for years about their knowledge that the ingredients of cigarettes were highly addictive. His is just like what the pharmaceutical industry is doing now. They are putting their quest to enhance profits before the health of the public. They supposedly care about the public and rightly they should, since the public gives them their living. The cigarette manufacturers lied to the Congress for years. They kept saying that there was no credible evidence that cigarettes were addictive. Just like the pharmaceutical and every other industry, money rules supreme over morality.
Let’s talk a minute about how the pharmaceutical industry gets you to buy their drugs. Years ago they use to wait until you got sick and had a problem that their drug addressed and they had to make sure that the doctors prescribed that particular drug. It is really a little much, some of the things you hear being pushed right over the TV today. It is a real pleasure to me to just be able to go to the TV guide channel and you can see everything that is on.
The thing that makes it hard to watch is some of the things they advertise while you’re trying to see what’s on. It is really uncomfortable for some people to hear about problems with private bodily functions, and “perceived” mental problems. We mentioned it before, but the best thing to do and everybody would get exactly what they want, is to advertise the name of their company and product on TV with a note to go on line and get further details on the product. That way it is private, unobtrusive, and no one has to be inconvenienced, doesn’t this seem like common sense?
Those that need or want to know about the product will get the necessary information on-line. The TV stations make their money and the internet even gets in on it making profits too. People find out what they need to know, and those that have no need or interest are not needlessly mentally infringed upon. This is to most people unnecessary worrisome information. Many of us believe the real goal of companies is to bother you until you perceive yourself as needing their particular services. They are not concerned in the slightest in what they are doing to the remainder of the population. Making a profit for their investors is their only concern, not the general public’s best interest as some of us righteous people think is the case.
As we discussed every single industry in the country vital to your survival or not seem only concerned with perpetuating their particular industry. After all, we know their only goal is to earn more money. Not to cure you as we would hope. The pharmaceutical companies have done their job in ensuring that the public is sick. This is another one of those facts that are going to surprise you. But one of the main reasons there is so much sickness and disease around is from the very drugs they give you to put in your body. Prescription and nonprescription drugs included, they are all culprits. The number one poison we put in our bodies are the very drugs they supply us with. They are one of the prime factors why we get sick.
The drug companies know that all drugs have side effects, and it must be said that they do tell us of many of the side effects; it’s what they don’t tell us that’s scary if you think about it. The new drugs are in effect designed to help the drug companies in keeping their system running, making as much money as possible, keeping you coming back for ever it at all possible. This is the dirty little secret in the pharmaceutical industry. As the dirty little secret in the tobacco industry was that tobacco was addictive and could cause lung cancer. Yet they too lied for decades about this fact. The pharmaceutical industry today knows that all drugs do have negative side effects, and can Cause further sickness.
The pharmaceutical companies know that the drugs we are taking are often times causing our problems. They are actually causing or contributing to the increases in cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and dozens of other diseases. As we all know, listening to some of the problems the drug industry does let us know about can be sobering in itself. Some of the side effects sound worse than the cure. Why is the pharmaceutical industry doing this, keeping this information secret? Just like the tobacco industry and every other industry, they are concerned with profits. Keeping you coming back, perpetuating their industry as their goal, not in curing you.
Look at this cycle, they get you started taking their drugs to handle a specific problem. A few months later you develop another medical condition. This medical condition unbeknown to you could actually have been caused by the drugs they gave you in the first place. You now start taking a new drug to eliminate this new problem. This drug seems to work because your problem gets better for a few months. Until a little further down the road you start to develop a new condition for which in turn they gave you a new drug to deal with this. Can you see how profitable this is for drug companies; they are doing this on purpose.
Remember that almost all drug research is funded by the pharmaceutical industry. So should we be surprised that in virtually every study the new drugs were found to be safe and effective. Think of how many new drugs that were proven to be safe and effective being approved by the FD. Then years later these same drugs were found to be incredibly dangerous and could lead to all types of severe medical conditions including death. These safe and effective drugs were found to be killing so many people that the FDA was forced to pull it off the market. Interestingly enough they were only taken off the market after the drug companies made their money. You know, I myself, was suspect of hearing this until, as you know, this exact thing just happened with Merck and their drug, viox. Since I wrote this we have been hearing about so many suspect drugs we really must revamp this system.
Pharmaceutical companies get us to use drugs through our favorite source the media. As we know since we already discussed the Medias role in many of our problems here. What we are going to discuss is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the pharmaceutical industry and their corruption. A regulating government body should be governing, regulating, and protecting us from the drug companies. But we can’t realistically expect this to be the case when they all work together.
A law was quietly passed in Congress to increase the FDA’s dependence on large drug companies for its funding. Can you believe it, the FDA gets funding directly from the very industry they are supposed to honestly, regulate. Can they really expect honesty under these conditions?
There are more than 1500 people who work for the FDA that are paid by the funding of the drug industry. That means that more than half of the FDA’s staff is directly involved with the drug companies. They are involved in the reviewing of new drug applications. They are actually on the payroll of the drug industry, which makes sense, sure.
To be fair we know already that something hopefully will get done with the FDA we’ll just have to wait and see I guess. Now that there is a public outcry and they already made hundreds of millions they are prepared to straighten out the system as many of us thought was already done. We mentioned it before but we need an independent board to oversee everything that is done for us because we can not trust anyone.
Just to illustrate to you how this industry is willing to cost you your life, over the last 10 years. The FDA that is supposed to be looking out for you has approved more than nine specific drugs that have proven to have deadly side effects. The journal of the American Medical Association estimates that more than 125 thousand people die every year from side effects as a result of FDA approved drugs.
So just haw do the FDA, FTC, and the pharmaceutical industry work together? They are promoting drugs and surgery and promoting the drug companies. They are suppressing proven working cures, and keeping the public coming back for more. Criminologist Elaine Feuer did a thorough investigation of the FDA in her book named, “innocent casualties” the FDA’s war against humanity. She found that the FDA spends the majority of its time protecting the investments of the pharmaceutical industry itself. This goes against all rational thought of how to run a company. This would not be allowed if these laws were protecting the consumer instead of the producers with their all too powerful lobbies.
She found that the FDA focuses on shutting down companies that threaten the drug companies many profits. Natural workable remedies, which not only work but cure the problem, are around but drug companies of course do not want you to know this. With diseases the likes of cancer, aids, diabetes, anyone promoting a natural cure for these diseases will be attacked by the FDA. I find that a little perplexing since in my naivety I thought the FDA and DTC essentially worked for the safety and best interest of the people not the companies.
Think about this for a minute, the FDA has ruled that no natural cures are to be allowed to cure disease even though it has been proven that they do work. This was done to ensure the profits of the drug companies. The FDA has decided to make things worse for any potential small business competition. The FDA and the pharmaceutical companies have now decided to reclassify more and more problems as diseases. Now that it is determined to be up to them exclusively to cure disease this is the latest of their schemes.
Once upon a time people would get something called heartburn now it is called acid reflux disease. What a surprise, only the drug companies can cure it. Once upon a time people were considered to be shy now it has been renamed as a disease called, Social Anxiety Disorder. This of course, is now a disease and must be treated by the drug companies.
This to me is a real big problem since it appears to be over prescribed for the wrong reasons. Kids, who are often just eating too much sugar as a result of inadequate parenting or an oversight and may be a little rambunctious are now said to have a disease called attention deficit disorder. Of course in come the drug companies. If a woman has a low sexual desire she is now said to have a disease. Isn’t this just often times one of the natural ups and downs of life? An alcoholic is no longer just an alcoholic he now has a disease called alcoholism.
Most disturbing to me is the fact that people are no longer overweight they now have a disease called obesity. While some people might have a valid weight problem i believe. The vast majority of our obesity problem is due to a personal problem, and a mis-information program by food companies, exercise companies, and the media. The expense of repairing all their ills should be theirs not Medicare’s and the public's.
A man who can’t get an erection is now said to have a disease. One of the reasons more and more things are being labeled as diseases is that once they are classified as such the FDA says that only a drug can be used in the attempt to cure it. These reclassification's of diseases appear to quite honestly being misused once again. This is an attempt, successful we might add, to once again perpetuate their industry and jobs.
Another technique that the pharmaceutical industry uses in order to ensure that sales of their drugs continue to increase is to lobby the Federal Government. This is done in order to get laws passed requiring that people take these drugs.
There are three methods being applied. First get a law passed requiring that children must take certain vaccines. You would then pass a law requiring all Federal employees and the military to get vaccinated using certain drugs. Then the third method, you get the government to pay for drug usage for the poor and elderly thru Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. With this done there is then Billions in it for the drug companies.
The FDA has also led the way in the battle against natural cures. If you can remember, or believe this, the FDA attempted to have vitamin supplements reclassified as prescription drugs. They also proclaimed that vitamin supplements were so dangerous that they should be prescribed only by Doctors. Don’t you feel that this is a rather blatant attempt at furthering their already well established monopoly. The public of course was outraged and thankfully the Congress too rejected this idea. In 1993 they again attempted to have certain minerals, and amino acids, reclassified as prescription drugs, come on. Luckily this time too, Congress felt compelled to act.
The FDA and the drug companies must have their monopoly squelched; it is not healthy for the public or the country. I feel as some of you do, that it looks like one of the major reasons people get sick is because of the amount of drugs they take. This is buoyed by the fact that drug companies, their powerful lobbyists and the FDA, continue to work harder to take your personal choices away from you. They lobby to have the federal government require by law that you must take their particular drugs.
Statistics show us very conclusively that both prescription and non-prescription drugs make you sick. You can’t trust in anyone’s best intentions, the more you take the sicker you get. We have fallen into this scenario hook line and sinker. We continue to have faith and believe that companies and institutions have our best interest in mind. Trust me that is our naivety because they just don’t have our best intentions in mind. All drugs have side effects, legal or not, if you are taking a drug in order to stop one symptom that drug in turn will set off some other problem to begin developing in your system. You eventually go back to the Doctor with new problems. Drugs, as we are hearing more and more now that the drug companies do attempt to market to us directly, have some terrible side effects. They most definitely do cause some major medical problems.
Drugs as we know do not cure you as you would believe or hope they would. They are intended to cover the symptoms. This is by design and is a tremendous business for the drug companies. The more drugs someone takes the sicker you will be only because drugs are major poisons, major toxins, and we know this for a fact. This is the big lie involving drug companies and their many agents, both known and unknown. The very industry that promotes itself as being devoted to the prevention and curing of disease is actually the number one problem in the world in the in the forming of new sickness and disease.
Drugs as we know are not the answer to preventing and curing disease. As we know that they are the leading cause of these problems. If a drug is not the
Root cause of a particular problem they do in fact cause the body to go out of its natural balance. This then weakens the immune system enabling disease to become more prevalent.
All illness is caused by toxins in the body. Just like our problem with the Islamists, we know the right answer and continue to do the wrong thing for the Muslims. We know drugs are toxic and often cause our trouble. We know the right thing but continue to allow those in charge who are supposed to know and have our best interest in mind, to continue to operate to our detriment as members of society. We continue to put toxins in our bodies. It makes me think about something I have always told people to get them to understand their physical system. Your body is the same as a stream. You put a small amount of pollutants in and the stream works perfectly cleaning itself out to keep itself pure. Once you start putting in more and more it begins to build. Until it starts to effect, and eventually destroy the once pure stream. This is the same thing we are doing to our bodies.
While we are on the subject of toxins, drugs, and food we will discuss their contribution towards sickness. They contribute to the prevalence of sickness and disease, and the reasons for sickness and disease. I just want us to think about this on top of the known toxicity of drugs. Try to think of the example of the stream. We mentioned just the medications that are making us sick. Now we just want to take a minute and look at how our foods are contributing to our health problems. We will discuss why this is happening, which is the sobering thought.
Here too, profits take precedence over society’s welfare. This is due to the increased pressure to make and increase profits in the food industry to a large degree. They are willing to over look the negative aspects of chemically improving their output. In this instance it’s the farmer that is in business to make money. This is done at the expense of producing what is in effect, a toxic product. This is a result of using pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, questionable fertilizers. All this and more is of course taken in by the vegetable. Then we increase our toxic level even further just by eating what we think is good healthy food.
In America virtually every single thing we put in our bodies contains toxins. Virtually everything made by man contains toxins. In our quest to get more from less, in order to increase profits we have altered everything we produce in order to increase output. Today we are putting more toxins in our bodies than ever before. Growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, genetically altered materials, chemical food additives all this we are putting in our mouths. This is not to mention what we are putting in our system through the multitude of products we apply to our skin.
These same conditions as we know exist in the meat industry. For some reason at least to me these offenses seem all the more egregious just because this is the meat industry. Just by the very nature of the product, in this case, a cow, they themselves have ingested many, many chemicals and other toxins. They in turn as we all know pass them all on to us.
The industry uses growth hormones to speed the development of the animal. They use antibiotics to keep the animal healthy. This is without mentioning all the chemicals that get into their system. This occurs thru the foods they eat and the fact that most of them end up in the meats we eat.
This also holds true for the dairy industry. I am really looking forward to discussing this. This has always been a subject of personal concern to me. We as humans are the only mammal in the entire world that continues to drink milk once we have developed. This has always posed the question, do we drink it because we should or because once again, we are perpetuating an industry.
There are even more culprits in the contamination of the milk we drink too. Because of the drugs, growth hormones, pasteurization, and homogenization, dairy products in general are a major health concern unless you are talking organic.
On top of all this, the food industry puts tens of thousands of chemical ingredients in the food. To top it off often times they are not even required to list all those particular ingredients on the product label. In their quest to enhance profits at all costs they use their lobbyists, politicians, and their FDA friends. The problem to you the consumer is that many of these additives are unnatural toxic chemicals. These adversely suppress your immune system making you more susceptible to disease. Sounds good for industry huh, and they make you age faster. The kicker to food additives is the real reason they are used in the first place. If nothing else, before we discuss this I can guarantee you it is not for the benefit of you the consumer.
The food industry just like every other industry we have talked about is hiding their dirty little secrets too. The food industry is knowingly putting ingredients in the food for the sole purpose of consumer manipulation. Some of these ingredients are designed to make you hungry. Some make you fat and addicted to food. Beat this, many of the ingredients they put in food make you depressed. This illustrates very well how these industries work hand in hand in their goal to manipulate us and the economy. The food makes you depressed so you have to go to the drug companies for your depression.
We know it’s just a coincidence but some of the additives that are put into the food in order to make you depressed are manufactured by the same companies that sell you the antidepressant drugs. That’s the scheme once again; money takes precedence over morality and decency. You know with everything we put in our mouths, food or drink, you have to ask yourself, is it natural or has it been fooled around with in an effort to increase profits. These people don’t care if you get sick; they don’t care if you are depressed and fat. Only in the respect that if you are depressed and fat it is more money for them. They can rest easy then, having done themselves a good job.
Why are people getting fatter and fatter as time goes on? Boy you know, I am going to enjoy talking about this. It only, once again, sounds like common sense. I intended to use the facts derived by the so called experts, but once again they have it dead wrong. I don’t know about you but I am personally sick of hearing from misguided experts. They are from every spectrum of knowledge constantly making statements that would make the common man crawl into a hole. Now we are going to talk the truth and sadly enough, you haven’t been hearing it.
The standard line of thought with obesity has always been that if you wanted to lose weight you had to eat fewer calories and exercise more. However, as you know, there are experts that tell you as fact that calories are not the problem and you must reduce the amount of fat you consume. Then there are those that swear that fats are not the problem it’s carbohydrates. Like we were saying that you could not expect the politicians to fix their corrupt political system, you can’t expect an unbiased opinion from any of the so called diet gurus. As they are the ones that benefit from your lack of knowledge why would they want to see the truth told? They all have a vested interest, so like in every industry we have discussed, they all thrive off your lack of understanding and much to be expected confusion.
Taking care of yourself physically is no where near as difficult as the industry likes to make you think. I hate to even say some of this because it appears to be so obvious. I must preface this by saying that today we as people in general are very intelligent. We can generally take the given choices and make an educated guess. As far as this diet and weight loss stuff goes, they have got you so pleasantly confused. They’re all just counting the money, it’s at your expense and it really bothers me.
To those of us that like to for our own reasons, take good care of ourselves physically and do. Knowing what you put into it although you enjoy every second of it is very hard to sit back and hear the physical fitness industry in whatever capacity, tell you how easy it is, and you can do it to. I have to tell you, you can have it too. It isn’t for everyone as they for financial reasons would lead you to believe. It also isn’t as easy as they imply although quite a few of us do enjoy it so.
Not everyone can achieve the physical condition you are told any one can. It also is not as easy as they lead you to believe which only frustrates you all the more.
It is really quite so simple it is all up to you. Anything you want you can have. Absolutely the only thing you have to do is to just make believe these people are all trying to mislead you which they are. You have to realize that this is true, you know yourself better than they ever will. You have to take control of your life; these people are going to say whatever they think they have to say in order to sell you their product. Without a doubt people are starting to wake up to the fact that industry and no one in a position of earning profit is going to help or be honest with you.
You probably knew it before but at least we have talked about all the additives that are put into your food often times unknown to you. You know that these additives affect your mood. They affect the amount of food you eat and your desire for more of it. All these additives are used as often as possible to enhance the food in any degree that is going to make you want more of it.
There, as you know, are multitudes of problems in the health industry. So many in fact, that it is horrible and beyond excuse and explanation. The deck is absolutely stacked against your success. After extensively looking into all the inequities involved, the only logical conclusion to all this is that you are all being purposely misinformed and confused. Just in case you haven’t thought about it yet industry is not trying to help you. It behooves, (it’s to their advantage), industry to keep you that way as well as overweight and sickly. That is the only way they can keep the money flow and stay in business.
I bought a book on the subject in order to speak factually and fully and to ensure I was knowledgeable on the subject. I hope and believe you will see what they are doing to you. It is satisfying to know that we do have the most beneficial rendering of the situation that you will ever find elsewhere. Once again we are finding it to be true that there are no experts. The book was okay especially if you are interested in natural cures. When I hit the part where he discussed for a chapter, obesity and the number one contributor to it being slow metabolism I lost faith. I realized that here too we were going to be breaking new ground in our quest for knowledge and truth.
I found it incredible that someone that has by his own admission been involved intimately in the industry for years could make such a ridiculous statement. He spent his time promoting what we have termed as exercise junk. He spent years on TV promoting natural health cures. That he could make such a ridiculous irresponsible statement especially after he spoke so well on other subjects amazed me. While we are talking about it, I’m not so sure about the stifling of all natural cure remedies. Like many of you I personally have enjoyed Prevention Magazine for years. Personally I have never heard of any problems but I could be wrong.
I have been for 30 years, concerning myself with my own health mentally and physically inside and out. I’m listening to all the deliberately confusing misinformation being given to you from every level of the health, diet, and food industries. Someone has got to speak to you honestly. Seeing how lost and confused people in every aspect of these industries have you it is time someone eased your minds and stepped in to help not hurt.
It is sickening to hear manufacturing and all these supposed experts supposedly declaring that they don’t know why people are getting fatter and fatter. This is because they are the problem and they know it. There is only one reason why you continue to get fatter when listening to them and one reason only; they are routinely and systematically lying to you. The final straw for me was reading this book from someone who is supposed to know these subjects inside out. He absurdly announces that the number one reason for obesity is due to a slow metabolism. Can you believe it, I was incredulous, and it just doesn’t stop?
It is time for you to hear a little honesty and hopefully put your minds at ease. As we said in regards to all the other industries it applies here as well. They are not going to be honest with you. They are not going to clean up their industries inequities. The reason being that here too they are the ones benefiting from the misinformation and confusion. So we can’t expect them to be honest or police themselves so again it is up to us. With this in mind I just heard today that the drug industry is starting to have their drugs secretly coded. This is supposedly to protect us from counterfeit drugs. I’m sure this sounds good to some of us but think about it for a minute. This is for their benefit not ours.
We do not care if they are black market or not. We only care that they work, don’t cost an arm and a leg, and aren’t prohibitively expensive. They most often are no more dangerous than the drug industries are. That is why they are doing it. They want to ensure their money supply, “you”. They simply do not want to lose revenue because there is just as good or better somewhere else. With that in mind you would think they really would be honest with you. They should be looking out for your welfare but that is not the way it is in reality.
I graduated from high school in 1974. Right after graduation I went home and joined the local YMCA in order to make sure that I was prepared for the military. I haven’t been able to stop yet. I have to tell you as those who dietarily and physically take care of themselves daily know. Once you start the habit of eating right and daily exercise it is virtually impossible to stop. Good living is an addiction like nothing else and it starts with personal care and good habits.
The first thing you have to learn is that industry bar none does not care about us as we would like to think and hope. They have more than a passing interest in keeping you fat, out of shape, and unhealthy. Knowing this they are doing a good job for themselves. You can see what kind of a job they are doing on you. Food and drug manufacturers are almost exclusively publicly owned corporations. As such they are required by law to increase profits for their shareholders. They are doing well in that department huh? Most of you watch the stock market.
They like 2/3 of Americans are getting fat. It is good as far as a business goes but not in this case. Once again it is being accomplished at the expense of your physical and mental well being.
The first thing you have to do is learn how to ignore them. You also have to learn how to ignore all this conflicting diet and exercise equipment information. Please pay no attention to it it’s all detrimental to your health. You absolutely do not need it and will be very successful with just a little bit of help. I have kept myself in pretty good shape my entire life. While you are in the military they feed you very well. The military also has everything you could possibly desire in the way of physical fitness. I was able to take full advantage and keep myself in pretty good shape.
This, as a result of eating right and experimenting with various exercises until I found what worked best for me. They supply a great diet of good food and plenty of it. You are able to pick and chose from a wide variety of items that are perfect for someone who just wants to stay in shape or body build. They are available to everyone in the military and you learn to take care of yourself independently both mentally and physically. Many of us start our health routines while in the military and have never stopped.
With the military being so pervasive in everyone’s mind right now this is a good time for this subject. You learn to be a unit but to think independently. You learn how to think for yourself. You also learn to be self motivated, evaluate yourself and improve yourself if necessary. You just relax, think yourself through, and take your time. You can accomplish anything with a little patience. You hopefully have a long life ahead of you on a health maintenance plan.
You are the only one that know what your system needs, no one else.
Doesn’t it strike you as funny that adults spend a life time teaching you that you are unique? You are one of a kind, an individual and there is no one else like you. Then once you get older and are a potential market for various industries they proceed to confuse you.
All of them tell you that their diet or health product is the best in the world and it is the only one for everyone. They bombard us with ads trying to sell you all kinds of exercise contraptions. They are all telling us theirs is the only one for you and you can’t achieve your goals with out it. Every one of them tell you the same thing and they are all dead wrong. However, they have accomplished their goal and you are once again totally confused. We all know the vast majority of it falls under the category of exercise junk. You can either find it very cheap at a yard sale or watch it gather dust. We know this from our own experience since there is probably one in our own houses.
I went to sleep last night listening to CNN and in the middle of the night switched to the TV Guide channel. Big mistake, there was so much conflicting personal care information I thought I was going to lose it right there. I then turned it to channel 7 and it was even worse. They were talking every 10 minutes about some ridiculous new study that in every case was contradictory. I did hear that there is going to be a new study involving children so that Doctors will know what makes kids tick. Your thought has to be wow I can’t believe this hasn’t been done years ago.
You cannot listen to these people, none of them. They are out to take you and your money and they are succeeding in every respect. Something such as diet and exercise is purely individual, one person one fit. Everyone needs something different and unique, a just for them kind of thing. The majority of us can not afford personal trainers or help of any kind so we are on our own. The sad part is that everyone that can take advantage of that fact does. Despite what media and these industries tell you, there is no one size fits all. What works for you might kill or harm me and vice-a-versa.
Some of these exercise contraptions look downright scary. Media is doing their darnedest to convince us that we cannot live unless we use any number of ridiculous contraptions. All of these are pushed on you by any number of actors willing to jump at the chance. Media is doing their darnedest to convince you that sit ups and crunches that some of us swear by and have been doing for a life time are all of a sudden archaic, boring, and hurtful. They further confuse you and do this in an effort to convince you that you need so and so’s ridiculous exercise garbage. Here again I will just relate to you what worked for me. Ignore them; their conflicting misinformation is what is causing all your problems.
A personal exercise regimen and a personalized just for your body and life style diet usually works. They never have and never will talk me out of what I know works and what I enjoy in the way of exercise. There is no money in it for them if you are content and happy with how you take care of yourself. So it is their goal and job to try and make you unhappy with yourself in every respect possible. For me, it’s been over thirty years on my own regimen. I never had a single problem staying in shape. until I decided to try some of these ridiculous diets and supplements instead of doing what I learned was right for me.
Despite the fact that I never missed a beat with my exercising I started to physically fall apart. In my case I was disillusioned with the industry. Luckily for me I decided that instead of believing the bull that it was due to age, I would find out for myself. I decided to go back to what worked in the first place. I do my modified sit up crunches on an old pillow as I have been doing for thirty years. I think of these as my warm up and then I exercise with a simple set of old dumbbells and an old 3 position weight bench. I want to stress the importance to you mentally and physically of ignoring all conflicting diet ignorance.
You can’t let them make you think they are going to take care of you. You can see how they are doing that and you can’t survive much more of their help. There is no substitute in this case or in life for personal responsibility and accountability. It is painfully obvious that at least the food, medical, and health industries are lobbying hard to take that away from you. Sadly enough, at least up to now they appear to be successful. You cannot eat all this low fat, low calorie, low carbohydrate junk. Especially eating even more of it because you are told it’s dietary. This stuff is just as bad for you and in many instances even worse.
If you feel you should be consuming fewer carbohydrates try a modified low carbohydrate diet. You would just try cutting out one item at a time such as bread, rice, potatoes, or all starches etc. You do not want to cut them out all together as you seem to be told constantly. You can not cut any other group such as proteins as you are being told. Because all forms of calories are synergetic. This means that they need each other in order to perform their job correctly. Your cars needs coolant, gas, and oil, just try running your car with one of them missing, and see how far you get. You take care of your vehicle so let’s start applying this to ourselves. Believe it or not, you could survive without your car but not you health.
If you feel you must cut calories and you know your physical body and can observe it religiously, cut all the junk food and that means all items diet or otherwise. It is exactly what its name implies, junk. Despite what the media wants you to think this stuff is absolutely terrible for you. If you feel you should cut fats, know yourself physically first. Monitor yourself daily and try eating leaner cuts of meat. Like many of the rest of us, if you can’t afford it financially just trim the fat off the more inexpensive cuts. The one constant you must keep if you plan on experimenting with diets has to be exercise. By all means you should check with your doctor first if you have any doubts or questions and start slow. You can do it, and as you get older, moderate accordingly. We are not as inept as you are being made to think you are.
You know that most of the time the problem is not with you. You are being misled for a reason. You are the economy and as such you should be treated with the utmost of respect. Not disdain and mental abuse, and being fed constantly with misinformation. Listen to this it is no wonder why as a people we are confused and more obese than ever. All this confusion and misinformation is thanks to the help of the health industry. I was on line checking out all the diet studies and information from around the country. After about 40 conflicting confusing stories I gave up. Believe it or not I left the remaining 3,050 stories unread and that is the way they will remain. These were the studies and expert analysis just for one day; this is totally and utterly ridiculous.
- Following is a small sample of the stories I read:
- Walnuts are heart smart with good fats
- Walnuts may lead to heart disease risks if you eat too many
- High fat diets may harm memory
- Experts say that low carbohydrate diets skimp on heart health
- They also go on to say that they do have benefits
- Gee why on earth could we all possibly be confused? They go on to justify and decry everything on every nutritional study and diet information. I will say this, Doctor Robert Atkins was absolutely right when he said that the main reason for all this obesity is all these conflicting inadequate diets but that includes his too. You need a little more confusion? They just did a study that says if you give up pizza you will live to be 100.
I am sure that the next two dietary stories and problems will convince the remaining unbelievers that our diets are way off. They are extremely troublesome, problematic, and very harmful to our health and well being. But they do exactly as they are designed to do and that is to reel in more victims. It again is all designed to keep their profits on the increase once again at the people’s expense.
Researchers have found that Chinese citizens are getting increasingly obese as they adopt western diets. This speaks volumes against the health and food industries. This should convince everyone that wants to see the truth that these industries are a big problem. The revealing fact is that these are also Chinese citizens not Chinese Americans. They are simply adopting our dangerous western diets not our lifestyles. Further proof is the fact that low incomes Asian Americans are joining Americans in obesity. This merely adds further proof as to diet inequities and the class of people that are the primary victims.
I’m sure it matters how you classify junk food in any given country but we as Americans must eat more junk food per person than any other country in the world. You can’t get away from it. It is in every single aisle in the store and you hear about it 24/7. We must be well disciplined and ignore it all. You know this is part of their plan. Of course they will all deny any involvement in the deceptions. All the while expressing their perplexity as to why this is happening.
Diet foods, diet drinks, and supplements have to be the worse things that people have to try and manage, live, and work with. You must train yourself to ignore all this deception and confusion. Just eat responsibly unless you have a specific problem that must be addressed. We all must learn to be responsible and accountable for our actions. With all the new gadgets and techniques out there you are being taught that you do not have to be responsible and accountable for your actions and health care lapses.
You can always try the South Beach Diet, a starvation diet or liquid diet, the Atkins diet, high fat low fat, high protein low protein, low calorie. They are all junk and dangerous to your mental and physical well being. Most likely the diets fail as they inevitably will for the majority of people who fall victim to the false hype. If you have the money which the majority of victims do not, you can get a belly tuck.
Of course this is most likely necessitated by the health industries deliberate confusion and misconceptions. This will be done in a newly created and enlarged health recovery industry thanks to the health industry and their helping you. You can get a chin tuck, face reduction, get your fat arms reduced, liposuction the list is endless. If all else fails have no fear, you can now get your stomach stapled.
This is all asinine, it is a lot simpler, cheaper, and easier on you if you just do the right thing. Be accountable for what you do. Don’t look for someone else to do it and you will inevitably save yourself a lot of pain and danger, and maybe even your life. Relax and take your time, think, get rid of the junk food and the snacks when possible, and exercise and eat right if possible.
We all know that we are being abused and lied to by every single industry vital to our needs. Their goal is to maximize profits not you and your welfare. In this case we are again talking about the very problematic food and health industries. To perfectly exemplify our representation of the drug industries lies and corruption here is a recently surfaced fact.
While we were discussing this subject, across the wire comes some new found knowledge. Merck, the manufacturer of the recently developed drug Viox is seemingly caught lying about the drug. It was found to present dangers it potentially caused with various heart problems. They of course did this just so they could recover their research and development expenses.
They supposedly knew six years ago of the potential risks. They chose to ignore it and at the risk of hour health and maybe your life. After the problem with viox surfaced other drug companies covering up potential risks and health hazards began to surface. At their best these drugs and their potential side effects and hazards appear to be worse than the disease in the first place. I’m sure we all feel that it is terrible that we can’t trust any of the institutions that are supposed to have our best interest in mind, to do the right thing.
Please, for your own sake and the sake of society you must realize that these industries as a whole are not on your side. They are on their side and once again it is up to the people to remedy the situation. They (industry) are not going to upset the gravy train just for you and me. We can’t think that the FDA and food manufacturing lobbyists are on your side. They will not help you out because they do not work for you. The lobbyists by definition are on the side of their respective industries. The FDA however is a very different story. I’m sure this next truth is going to throw many of you as it did me. I for one always thought that the FDA was a Federal agency designed to protect us.
We are now hearing stories of the FDA failing to warn us, help us, or to do the right thing. We are finding out that many of the agents are paid by the very industries they are supposed to be keeping honest. We all know you don’t bite the hand that feeds you. In this case you know for a fact that if they did they would be looking for another job. The average American way seems to be to let someone else take care of the problems. This has to stop it is getting increasingly more hazardous to our well being.
No one is going to look after our best interest as we all can attest to on a daily basis. We must get involved and take care of these many volatile situations ourselves. These inventors of our drugs are not experts as we might hope or think. By default they can’t be on our side anyway, it seems they work for your competition. Also, it isn’t called R&D (research and development), for nothing. They are not experts on these drugs. They are researching and developing them. Here too there are no experts. Once again it is up to us to ensure everything is done above board and it isn’t. Remember, there are no experts. They are learning just as we are. We can only that they know these drugs before they hurt or kill someone.
You also don’t have to stay on a constant unbroken daily routine; variety especially in this case is the spice of life. It behooves you to give your muscles a break. Here too, it would behoove you to vary your routine. Your muscles actually need variety to keep them hungry. Remember, well worked hungry muscles burn calories. So do not be afraid to experiment with various routines and methods. You also don’t always have to keep a totally strict diet; most dangerous of all is falling into the trap of one of these exclusive diets. This covers all but one diet that I’m aware of.
Your diet if you want to call it that, as far as carbohydrates, proteins, and some fats, must be all inclusive too. Despite all the confusion and misinformation they are throwing your way, this is your body we aren’t stupid. You know intuitively when you need a break mentally, physically, and dietarily. This is your body you know its nuances. You know it better than anyone else, at least you should. Just proceed with caution and do things timed and in moderation particularly as we mature. Above all if you have any questions whatsoever be sure to check with you health care provider first. You should do this particularly if you have let your physical condition and diet lapse.
Remember, when things are going well everyone looks good. No matter the subject, business, your personal care or the government, everyone looks like they know what they’re doing. Likewise, when things start going bad or heading south your weaknesses stick out like a sore thumb. Likewise, if you have any stars they will shine. They will shine thru they will stand out and here to fore we still do not see anything. Despite what the Christian coalition, the Bible belt, or the Republican Right think, this current President has shown all to clearly that he just does not have what it takes. Especially to those of us with no agenda other than to prosper as a learned morally intact prosperous nation. It is painfully obvious that he is way over his head. He does not seem to have the aptitude for the job. He has shown colossal ineptitude. Even worse is the fact that he hasn’t learned from his first 4 as some of us were praying and hoping for.
When he is done trying to ruin the country we can only hope we can rebuild it. The Christian right is to blame. He spent all his time during the campaign spreading lies about Senator Kerry and himself. He was stupidly tearing apart everything Senator Kerry said. Even his proposed spending changes making fun of it like a child and saying there was no way he could pay for it.
Then as soon as he is elected he has to start borrowing money from the Federal Pension Fund in order to pay the bills. He constantly made fun of John Kerry’s financial plans for the country. Because Mr. Kerry couldn’t, to there satisfaction show where he was going to get the revenues he incessantly harassed him. Compare this with knowing how Mr. Bush pays for things. I refuse to believe that enough people were fooled to allow him to once again increase our debt. This will be on your children’s shoulders. Aren’t things just great under this guy’s misguidance? Why don’t you just beat yourself with a stick?
That feels good when you stop too. The best part is that it doesn’t have to cost your children and the rest of the world their futures.
He is now asking Congress for permission to raise the debt ceiling. So he can sink us even further and put our children in debt. All this and you can be sure he is going to continue giving his rich friends their tax cuts. At this rate you have to come to the conclusion that he is proud of his monumental ineptitude. Because he doesn’t seem to be smart enough to learn from his mistakes. Especially since you have to be smart enough to see and admit to them. He admits to nothing and seemingly is not capable of learning right from wrong, God help us.
We all know what excuses are like and everyone seems to have one but this has to stop in every respect and in this case it is our personal care. Yes we are busier today than ever before but your health has to be an included priority. We continually hear the excuse being made for children and adults that we spend more and more time in front of the TV. We spend hours in front of the computer. Kids spend hours playing computer games and our lives are getting increasingly sedentary. So what, that is a sorry excuse for the vast majority of the public. We must collectively regain our personal discipline. Hold your self accountable not someone else regardless of age act responsibly. Remember it’s as simple as no output no input. Adjust your food intake to your activity level. In most cases, not all, it is that simple.
Remember that we must learn to ignore what the health junk industry is telling us. Despite the fact that you are continually having it reinforced all day every day that you can’t successfully take care of yourself. You can, but without their ridiculous equipment. You do not need their harmful diets, or physically and mentally harmful advice. You are pretty smart and will eventually figure things out a lot quicker on your own. Their goal is not to help you and kill their industry. But to keep you sick, fat, and confused. Up to now they appear to be succeeding. You must retake control of your own destiny in every respect.
Americans are pretty smart, inventive, and innovative and we always come through. Our problem is not our life style as the supposed experts want you to think. It is them, it is us, be accountable be responsible. Take control of your own life. Leaving it in their hands is just where they want you. But this is dangerous to you health and by design it will not work. Everything will work out for you in the long or short run.
The best part is you really get great personal satisfaction by taking control of your own life. Do not believe for a minute that you can eat what you want. That is exactly what they want you to think. You can see how well, adhering to their advice is serving you. Take control, I wish you great success and above all, take time to smell the roses.
Before we close this subject out here is a little more confusing detrimental information from the health industry. Hopefully to them, this will further serve to confuse your cause even further if that is possible As a result of all the confusing misinformation their goal is to further limit your self responsibility and accountability. They are now telling us that hot dogs and red meats cause diabetes. But do not worry because they have a pill for that. Man, talk about purposeful industry and economic perpetuation, this all has to stop.
Here they help a few industries with one small line. As we have all heard I am sure, they have just recently developed what they are calling a super pill. This is for dietary uses as well as its use in blocking the effects of marijuana. For dietary use this pills effect last for up to two years. I know that some of us are going to think of this as a godsend but to me and others, this is a real scary thought. This is a serious problem since we are now hearing of multiple cases of hidden and covered up problems with these new drugs.
They are developing and marketing them quicker than they can test for their safety. That is very scary to anyone who has to use them and wants to know they are going to live to see another day. Just take care of yourself in the first place. You must also remember that, all that exercise junk may fill the need for someone. But despite what they tell you and want you to believe, it is junk to the vast majority of the public. A pillow for sit ups, a simple adjustable weight bench, and a couple of dumbbells are all you need for the average individual. But everyone trying to capitalize off your misfortunes and confusion don’t want you to hear, think, or know that. It would really help you but hurt them in their cause of profiting from you. They do not care whether what they to offer is any good or not, their goal is just to sell more. We have to be able to hold all these people accountable.
Let’s apply that to society as a whole as we necessarily must. That would be the media for knowingly spreading falsehoods just to make the all mighty dollar. The individuals selling exercise junk that is absolutely worthless and telling people they only need 1 hour per week, (20 minutes, 3 times per week) are also guilty. Diet people should be held accountable for pushing ridiculous diets. Last but not least, the food industry. In large part for promoting all these low fat, low carbohydrate foods. For making people think they can eat them and not get any negative repercussions from doing so.
Someone in this country and world that is in the position to influence people must come out of the proverbial closet. We must start to be frank and honest instead of creating a niche for our selfish goals. Their objective is to selfishly and to the detriment of the people, make money hand over fist. This as we all know is at the physical and mental anguish of the public. If you don’t have a problem or need someone’s product, the media will advertise until you do have a perceived problem. Mental or physical, they don’t care; they just want you to think you need a certain worthless product to fix it.
When all is said and done the media systems should be held accountable for knowingly and wan tingly being the mouthpiece for the nationwide corruption. The legal system should be held accountable for being an overactive participant in the corruption of our legal system. They are responsible for abusing and misusing our Constitution. They are also guilty for being the enforcer of said corruption. Last but certainly not least, the Political system is to blame for their inept attitudes and actions.
They are allowing the political system to be used as the facilitator of much of the Nations decadence, and misuse of much of our rules and laws. This is done often just for the selfish sake of getting as many votes as possible. This happens, of course, most often at the expense of the general public’s physical security, mental well being, and financial security.
Let’s give President Bush a little well earned time on the grill. I, as some of you are, am sick of President Bush saying that he looks forward to receiving the 9/11 commission report. He says he wants this in hopes of getting the best intelligence that he and the Congress can use. At this point as I am editing this we know that the advised changes are on hold held up by his own people now, God help us.
First, we hear that this commission and resultant report possibly cost the taxpayer untold millions. Now we are hearing that the publisher of the report is making about two dollars per book. This report is said to be totally bipartisan and assigns blame to no one. That in itself is very political, and the report tells us exactly nothing new. We already knew that the C.I.A. was hamstrung and cut to the bone. We already knew there were many missed opportunities to interrupt the terrorist, Al Qaeda, and Bin Laden, on the watch of President Bush, his father, and President Clinton.
We also knew, of course, that it was nobody’s fault. We have got to start looking for this person nobody. Whoever it is, they are causing us a lot of trouble. None of the Presidents took the terrorist threats to our country seriously, as we already knew. My own thought is that we knew something would eventually occur at home. Of course never foresaw such massive death and destruction. That is the main reason why not enough was done to prevent the threat. Remember, we were looking for an event, something, to bring the Nation and the world together, behind the war on terrorism.
We must also remember this. It is absolutely disingenuous, reckless, and irresponsible for everyone involved, especially for the 9/11 commission to say that the threats were too nonspecific. It would be nice to see someone take some responsibility. We, all of us, knew the terrorists, as they are incorrectly called, were looking to hijack a plane. That they intended to crash it into buildings is not the issue. Why weren’t we controlling all aspects of the airline industry, airports included, it is inexcusable. Also, everything falls, or at least it should, straight onto President Bush’s shoulders, not on the backs of the citizens.
I don’t care what he says about the attack on 9/11, or the Iraq war, and the intelligence being faulty, unactionable, or too nonspecific. As we discussed, we expect the President, who is the only one with final say, to ask the right questions. It is up to him to make sure of the validity of where the intelligence came from. It is up to him to make sure it is reliable and issue responsible orders. We know everyone has an excuse. This President just seems to have one for every occasion. What is even worse is that none of them are even believable. This guy has got to mature before he cuts us too deep for recovery.
I mean, come on, let us grow up. We expect him to think and do the right thing regardless of whether the intelligence is good or not. It is up to him to ensure its reliability and actionability. He, as the President, can’t really believe that we as a Nation are safer today as a result of our antiterrorism activities. He must stop misleading the public. The world is not more peaceful and safer today, it is measurably much worse. If you just stop and think for a minute. It will get, if you can believe it, much worse with Al zarqawi’s and Bin Ladens demise. Like we said, central control and leadership is what often keeps them restrained.
With their control and leadership no longer there to give them direction and control we will have even more problems. We will have thousands and thousands of Islamists going in every direction causing murder, mayhem, and destruction. While on this subject, I just want to say that I finally heard someone last night come pretty close to the reality of the situation that is really facing us. Oddly enough to me, he is a Muslim American, leader and analyst, (Kamal Nawasi). I, myself still believe he is a little low. However he feels it would not be an over estimate to say that the feelings of the Islamists is shared by about 50% of the Muslim population. I will explain the real reason for this shortly, and you will not believe it.
As we said earlier about the problems with the cold war, we will have the same problem with the break up of the Islamists central control. We are not safer today, and not for the reasons you keep hearing on TV. President Bush should stop pushing his own buttons because it’s not only irresponsible, but it’s starting to get obscene. The only reason we have not yet had another 9/11is because we have made it more difficult, but not impossible. Remember, we are on their schedule not ours, they just aren’t ready yet, it will happen. Personally I do not think it is in their best interest to hit us at home. I think it is only important to keep harassing us all around the world.
Okay people, hold on, and we’ll discuss what is really happening in the world today. I am only amazed, that you have an average American as the source, wow, only in America.
Men and women have been worshiping Gods in one form or the other since humans first began to think of their environment. From reading the most knowledgeable book on the history of God I have ever read, (KAREN Armstrong’s, “A history of God”). I have learned some amazing facts. Many of which I am sure, were not even intended. I can only hope, and believe I have, that I do her justice. In researching what I have always been told, are my own off the wall theories. I have found that this subject, to my astonishment is 100% my own original thought, worked out over 40 years.
I was quite astonished to find that I was not as off the wall as I was told I was all those years. My theories were reaffirmed by almost every one of the greatest minds the world has ever known as you will learn. So I don’t know, maybe my thoughts are off the wall but I seem to have some awful good company. When man first started religious belief, and worshiping the Gods he did, there was, of course no organization to it. There was only a desire to understand and justify mans role amongst the tremendously powerful, complex, terrifying, and mysterious environment in which they existed.
Religion was seen as a way to find meaning, in mans role and value, in this environment, and life. There were no priests, mullahs, or religious leaders. There was only man, with the evolution of the process of curiosity. Man was trying to understand his role in this awesome world he found himself in. This reaction to his surroundings was completely natural. You will see that it is continued, and is a big part of the problem facing us, in all countries today. God is simply, a reaction to mans problems, needs, and desires. As thus, God and religion will undergo a transformation throughout history. This occurs as mans needs change with the environment he finds himself in, sound familiar. It is more important for a specific idea of God to fill the need for a particular time, purpose, and circumstances, than it is for it to be logically sound. As soon as mans idea of God stops fitting the purpose for which it was chosen, it will be changed, often for something very different.
This is also one of the events being experienced today. This is happening in many societies and particularly in the Catholic Church in America. This idea of change did not bother believers in the one God. This was because they knew that their ideas of God were not etched in stone. In fact, they have been changed many times over the years by the Muslims, Christians, and most surprisingly, the Jews. I personally was under the impression that they were Gods chosen people. As such, they were very staunch in what God they prayed to. This is not true, they too as we will discuss, have changed their God to fit their purpose more than the other two great religions.
Man is not so sure about the God they pray to. Jews are forbidden to even pronounce the name of God, and Muslims cannot even try to depict God in visual imagery. Further on in the discussion I will make you see that there is a God. It is absolutely amazing, but, the Muslims are right, the Christians are right, and the Jews are right. Atheists, Buddhist, all of you, you are all right, and it is amazingly simple. You will all see the truth, and you only differ in the way you choose to practice your belief, it is only common sense. All talk of God is overwhelming to most, in their attempt to express reality. But, the God of the Jews, Muslims, and Christians is a God that by all accounts, speaks, and he does. His spoken word is of the utmost importance, and has shaped the history of human culture.
Belief in God, believe it or not, started around fourteen thousand years ago. I know myself, I was always led to believe, and inclined to think that belief in God was started by the Jews. I was led to believe that they had a patent on God and everyone else was wasting their time, wrong. Years ago people believed spirits resided, as many of us still do, in places and things such as rocks, mountains, plants, and other beautiful objects of nature.
The Arabs called this Jinn, various tribes around the world knew this as Manna, and Latin’s, as Numina. All religions revered nature as being close to God. Atheists, which are looked down upon by the three great religions, also believe in this and revere nature. So you see, you are all right, and just differ in the respect that atheists do not feel the need to carry knowledge any further as some of us do. It all depends on how much of an explanation one needs to understand his or her role on the planet and in life. Depending on a persons needs they will go to, and find what they need in many of various religions.
Atheists believe that life on this planet is a very rare but natural occurrence, as naturalist, evolutionist, and many of us others do.
Some people only have a need to carry the process further and assign these creations to the doings of a God, and further, to a vision by an identified prophet. At one point in time every religious faith including, Jews, Muslims, and especially Christians, were thought of as atheists. This was because their beliefs did not agree with existing beliefs in practice at the time.
Nonbelievers, (atheists), until very recently, were very rare. During Abraham’s, time, virtually everyone believed. With the advent of ever improving fields of science being able to explain many of the great mysteries of the world many people all over the world have of late, been moving away from their belief in the one God.
What most people fail to realize, is that another perfectly natural and cyclical occurrence, is unfolding right now. It is one, of many that is happening all at the same time. One is feeding the other and God willing, everything will work out favorably. Once again, Christians and Jews, due to the increasing unease about their surroundings are beginning to look to God for answers. All the bombings, killings, terrorism, and many, many, problems in our Governments have become too much for most to bear alone. This is especially true in the U.S. with a multitude of systematic moral inequities right here at home. This is due in large part to our moral degradation and our perceived inability to do the right thing. People are more and more turning back to the one true God in ever increasing numbers.
Shortly, further on in this discussion I am going to blow your collective minds away. We will be pointing out something that has happened to both the Jews, and the Christians, and is now happening to the Muslims.
Yes, what we are conveniently calling terrorism is once again, a natural occurrence. The big problem now is that the shoe is on the other foot. With the stakes certainly being much higher, and the weapons and means, a lot more violent we cannot allow this to happen. I believe it would be more accurate and in line with mans cyclical history to stop calling the blight facing the entire world today terrorism. It would be more accurate if we started to start calling it what it really is, an”Islamist Jihad”.
As we discussed, with the early belief that spirits resided in naturally beautiful places in nature. Civilized man has always sought to get as close to nature as he could. Man has always believed that this would bring him closer to God. This, as my fellow Americans well know, is how Native Americans felt.
This in particular is what makes this Islamist Jihad so particularly disturbing. It’s not that they don’t care about human life, including their own. It is that they are willing to destroy the very planet that they believe God created for them. They do this with the absolutely ridiculous belief that they are going to be rewarded once they die and go to heave. The unbelievable pert of this is that they expect 42 virgins, and rivers of gold, or something like that.
Come on people of the world, this planet, this world, this land, is all we are going to get. For the sake of the generations to follow us, we must take care of this. That includes helping the families left behind by the Islamists. They more often than not are left morally and financially destitute. The Islamists leave behind, ruins, and very often, land that is no longer viable for human habitation.
We have mentioned that man has always sought out his own roll in life on this planet. It must also be noted that in forming the three great modern religions he has assigned natural earthly phenomena, stratospheric positions in all 3 faiths, (Muslim, Christian, and Jewish). This is not just another coincidence. All those of faith, non faith or believer on any kind of level all believe in the natural earthly phenomena. We are one with the earth and the universe and everyone regardless of their belief shares this belief.
The Bible, the Torah, and Koran, can each be read by hundreds of people, and every one of these people would leave with a different understanding. This is not only condoned but self interpretation is encouraged. This is so you can find the answers to your questions and satisfy your personal needs. The 3 holy books sometimes leave questions unaddressed, unanswered, and purposely vague, as religious leaders do not have the answers themselves.
All 3 religions have a heaven which of course is the universe around us. They all have a hell, which only makes sense, is a depiction of the earth’s core. I believe, as many of you do that there is a purgatory and we the living, are in it right now. What stinks is that due to our own negligence and irresponsibility we are creating a living hell on earth.
This belief in the celestial system once again makes all religions and atheists in general agreement. Minus, of course, the belief of the one God that many feel looks over everything. Does this lack of belief in Gods role thought by Muslims, Jews, and Christians, also make Buddhists and other non-believing religions, atheists? Since they too believe that every form of life has a natural occurrence. I, like many of you, believe life on earth is a natural but rare occurrence. I believe this, with the addition that God, as we think of him, stepped in and made man in his own image. We will expound on this shortly.
Belief in what is considered today as the one true God began as the God of Abraham 4000 years ago. This is true for the Koran, Torah, and Bible. We talked about the fact that all 3 Holy books are often vague and explanations often non existent due to lack of answers. Many of you will be astounded, I’m sure, when you hear what I and many others believe the ancient writings of Genesis and other scriptures, are really telling us. When you stop and think about it you to will agree, there is a God, but.
Let’s talk something over first. I have to say once again, that the process of researching is absolutely phenomenal. You always hear people say that what they found out is not what they expected to find when they started.
Boy, did we ever prove that to be right on. In researching our 2nd book in the trilogy of life, we just gave absolute and unequivocal credence to our theory of what is really happening in our society. We also found that we were right as to who we are really fighting, and what their real goal is. The stupefying part of all this is that our leaders just don’t see, or get it.
Amazing, just amazing, I just found out when doing the research on the one God, why he was created in the first place. The very reason the one God came into being in the first place, the God supposedly loved and strictly believed in and adored by the Islamists, is the very thing they are using for an excuse to be against the west and for killing us.
Capitalism, can you believe it, 4000 years ago the Middle East specifically, was changing to a market economy. The idea of the one God like other great religious adaptations at that time in mans history, was born and developed during a spirit of aggressive Capitalism. This was done specifically to fill the new needs of man. This is the very thing the Islamists are supposed to be against. So by definition they are not only against civilization, but against God himself.
This was another God change to reflect mans current dilemmas and current needs. The new beliefs reflected the changing social and economic systems of the times. Doesn’t this all sound familiar? What is happening here today and in the world is once again a natural cyclical occurrence, albeit unsavory, but natural. We for some reason consistently fail to recognize the reality of every single problem we face today and I just do not understand why.
Chapter 2
The
Enlightenment and Its Influence on the U.S.
I think this would be the perfect time to discuss what civilization was experiencing during the 18th century. It is important to know how Americans felt when the Constitution was written and the country was founded. This occurred during the enlightenment and the feelings at the time heavily influenced the forming of our principles. In light of what we have experienced already we can be thankful for our founding fathers wisdom. With what you are about to read, it becomes obvious that the decision to keep religion separate from politics was a good one. The enlightenment was a confusing time for Religion.
With the advent of technicalization in the west an entirely different kind of Society was formed. a new ideal of humanity came about. This in turn would affect the perception of the nature and role of God. The newly industrialized and efficient west also changed the course of history. Other countries of the civilized world found it increasingly difficult to ignore the western world as it had in the past. The Muslims as we know are still unable or unwilling to come to terms with it.
No other civilization in the history of the world had achieved anything like this. The west therefore created problems that were completely new, and very difficult to deal with.
Until the eighteenth century Islam had been the dominant world power in much of the Middle East and Africa. By the end of the eighteenth century Europe had begun to dominate the world. The very nature of its achievements made it impossible for the rest of the world to catch up. Europe began to colonize as much of the world as it could.
They did this with the overlying prevailing thought being that western civilization was far superior to everyone else. They believed that with their vast religious and civilizational principals that they were beyond reproach. They felt that they were vastly superior and always were. We know now that this is not true and right for everyone. They also believed that any country would be better off under its guidance. We have surely found out the hard way that none of this was true either
.
The process of westernization had begun. With it the view that the well being of society should trump any religious considerations became the prevailing thought. This, as we said, was the train of thought that prevailed when the Constitution was written, and our country was formed. The west was now no longer an Agriculture based society. We were no longer governed by the many nuances of climate, resources, and agriculture. Its technical innovations meant that it had become independent of local and world conditions. The Islamists as we all know are trying hard to turn this around.
The accumulation of Capital, and the process of modernization, led the west to a series of changes. It brought us Industrialization, an intellectual enlightenment, and social and political revolutions, as a natural occurrence. These many profound cultural changes affected the way in which men and women perceived themselves. This caused them to revise their relationship with what was to them, the one ultimate reality, God. This was just as it is happening today.
Then, the religion change was due to prosperity in society. Today it’s occurring due to insecurity in society. The many changes ultimately created an unstoppable momentum. More and more people from all levels of society were necessarily drawn into this process of modernization that was touching every sphere of life known to civilized man.
Ultimately it became necessary to involve all levels of society in this process. It was necessary in order to continue, and even increase productivity. It was necessary as a result of the accumulation of capital. The expansion of mass markets, and advances in science and technology also made it a must do situation. This of course led to social changes in western society. Men and women on every level felt empowered and in charge of their own lives as never before. We also see the fear and anxiety that innovation and change has brought to traditional societies. We are right now experiencing this with Islam.
There was new optimism about humanity as control over the natural world appeared to be advancing in leaps and bounds. People began to think that a better education and improved laws could bring light to the human spirit. This new confidence in the natural powers of human beings meant that people began to think that they could achieve enlightenment on their own. They no longer felt that they had to rely on tradition, church, or a revelation from God in order to discover the truth.
Consequently innovative scientists and intellectuals felt obliged to work out their own theories of life and religion. They felt that their new found knowledge and effectiveness gave them the responsibility to look at traditional Christian explanations of reality and evaluate them for themselves. The new scientific spirit was based purely on observation and experiment. The western sciences could take nothing for granted. The people were increasingly ready to risk a mistake or to question established authorities and institutions. Of course this included the Bible, the Church, and accepted Christian principles.
The traditional teachings of the existence of God were no longer entirely satisfactory or acceptable. Natural scientists and philosophers full of enthusiasm to find out the truth, felt compelled to verify the reality of God. They did this in the same way they proved other unexplained phenomena.
French Physicist Blaise Pascal, (1623-1662), was brutally honest with himself. Unlike many of his contemporaries he was convinced that there was no way to prove that God existed. Pascal was the first person in this new enlightened environment, to concede that belief in God could only be a matter of personal choice. By making the decision to surrender to God, the faithful feel themselves transformed. They become faithful, honest, humble, grateful, and full of good. Somehow the Christian finds that life has acquired new meaning and significance, having created a faith and having found God in the face of hopelessness and despair. God is a reality because he works. Faith is not intellectual certainty but an experience that brings with it a moral enlightenment.
Mathematician Rene’ Descartes, (1596-1650), had far more confidence in man’s ability to discover God. Descartes felt that reason alone could persuade humanity to accept the truths of religion and morality. He also saw this as the foundation of society. Descartes used the principles of mathematics to prove God’s existence. Unlike other philosophers and believers in one God, he believed there was no design in nature. He believed that the cosmos was completely Godless. In fact, the universe was completely chaotic, and revealed no sign of intelligent planning.
Descartes found evidence of God in human consciousness. He felt that we could not be certain of anything in the external world. He absolutely believed that we could be certain of our own inner experience. From the very beginning religion had helped man relate to the world and to find their role in it. The deification of natural forces as had been done by earlier man expressed the wonder and awe which has always been a part of man’s response to his hostile world.
Therefore he believed that a sense of mystery was to be avoided at all costs. This was because to him it represented a primitive state of mind that civilized man had outgrown.
I think this is very interesting. Descartes would explain clouds, wind, lightening, and all other natural phenomena, so as to remove any cause for marvel. He said, this leads me to hope that if I explain the nature of clouds, in such a way that we will be better off. He felt that people would no longer have cause to wonder at anything that can be seen of them. He felt they would no longer be mystified by anything that descends from them. We could then believe that it is possible to find the causes of everything on and above the earth.
Descartes was always careful to stay within the rulings of the Roman Catholic Church.
He saw himself as an orthodox Christian. He saw no contradiction between faith and reason. He argued that there was a system that would enable humanity to reach all truth. Nothing was beyond their grasp. All that was necessary in any discipline was to apply the method. He believed it would then be possible to piece together a reliable body of knowledge. This would then dispel all confusion or ignorance. He saw as a problem as I do, that Beliefs in God had now been contained within a human system of thought. He believed that this was done purposely by organized religion.
The English Physicist, Isaac Newton, (1642-1727), also reduced God to his own mechanical system. He was as anxious as Descartes to rid Christianity of mysticism. Newton began with an attempt to explain the physical universe. He believed that God was an essential part of the system. To Newton, nature was entirely passive and God was the sole source of action.
During the 18th century Christians started to apply the new scientific principles to the Christian faith. When all was said and done they came up with the same solutions as Newton. Radical theologians were anxious to get back to basics. They wanted to purge Christianity of its mysticism. They also wanted to establish a new rational Religion. After all, rationality was the measure of all true Religion. There is a religion of nature and reason written in the heart of every one of us since creation. This is so all mankind must judge the truth and validity of any kind of religion whatsoever. Thus, revelation was unnecessary since the truth can be found through our own rational inquiries.
Others went even further in applying this new objectivity to the New Testament itself. They even attempted a critical biography of Jesus himself. The question of the humanity of Christ was no longer a mystical matter.Thus as with Aristotle he believed God was simply a continuation of the natural physical order.
Newton was inclined to describe the relationship between the various celestial and terrestrial bodies in mathematical terms. He did this so as to create a coherent and comprehensive system. The notion of gravitational force which as we know, Newton introduced, drew the component parts of this system together. Unlike his contemporaries, Pascal, and Descartes, Newton was absolutely convinced that he had proof of Gods existence.
Why didn’t the internal gravities of the various celestial bodies pull them all together into one huge mass? Because they had been carefully disposed throughout space with perfect distance between them in order to facilitate life on this planet he believed there had to be Devine intervention. He felt that it was not to be explained by natural cause. He was forced to admit there had to be a God involved.
He believed that while gravity might have put the planets into motion that it could not have been done correctly without God’s help. He believed that without Devine power it could never put them into such a motion as they have around the sun; therefore he was inclined to assign this system to a greater intelligent being. If for example, the earth revolved on its axis at only 100 MPH instead of its 1000 MPH, night would be ten times longer and the planet would be too cold to sustain life. He also knew that the daytime heat would shrivel vegetation.
I am sure we all agree it is very rare occurrences having everything co-mingle perfectly. It of course has to in order to create the perfect environment to happen and prosper. It may be rare but like many of you, I too believe it to have been a perfectly natural occurrence. You can certainly see the varied professional opinions out there at the time our country was formed. There was a tremendous confusion over reality. Just what has changed anyway?
Like Descartes, Newton had no time for mystery which he equated to stupidity and ignorance. He too was anxious to rid Christianity of mysticism. He believed that the doctrine of the Trinity, (father, son, and Holy Ghost), were false. He believed they were purposely created by the church to attract converts.
cause it too was being subjected to the new scientific principles. Once this started to happen the modern period of true skepticism was irrevocably launched.
Hermann Reimarus, (1694-1768), argued that Jesus just wanted to found a godly state. He believed that it was when his mission failed that he had died in despair. He pointed out that in the Gospels; Jesus had never proclaimed that he had come to atone for the sins of mankind. That idea can only be traced back to Saint Paul who is the true founder of Christianity.
We should not, therefore, revere Jesus Christ as God. He believed that he should be thought of as the teacher of a remarkable, simple, and exalted Religion. Once the scientific method had become the standard, it became difficult for many people to read the Gospels in any other way. Western Christians were now committed to a literal understanding of their faith. They had taken a step back from myth. After all, a story was either factually true or it wasn’t.
The traditional doctrine of the Atonement, (the reconciliation of God and man brought about by the death of Christ), which depicted God demanding the death of his own son presented an unacceptable picture of God. He was the righteous God, the embittered God, and the angered God. His demands for strict retribution purposely filled many Christians with fear and compelled them not to be sinful.
More and more Christians were becoming embarrassed by the cruelty of so much of their Christian history. Christians had conducted fearsome crusades. They conducted inquisitions, and persecutions in the name of God. This was a God that is supposed to be all encompassing, all understanding, and all forgiving. They were becoming increasingly enamored with liberty and freedom of conscience. The bloody reformation for many, proved to be the final straw.
Reason did seem to be the answer. However, could a God stripped of the mystery that had surrounded him for centuries be an effective God? In the west Christians were on the edge of a more secular age, though they still adhered to a belief in God. The new Religion of reason would be known as Deism. This is belief claiming foundation solely on the evidence of reason. They believed in the existence of God as creator of the Universe who after setting it in motion abandoned it.
He assumed no control over life. He exerted no influence on natural phenomena. He also gave no supernatural revelation, man that sounds pretty objective.
It had no time for the imaginative disciplines of mysticism and mythology. It turned its back on the on the myth of revelation. The new religion also turned its back on such traditional mysteries as the Trinity. The Trinity had for so long held people captive of superstition. Instead it declared allegiance to the personal God which man could discover with his own efforts.
Francoise Marie De Voltaire was the embodiment of the enlightenment movement. He also described his version of the perfect Religion. Wouldn’t it teach much morality and very little dogma? Wouldn’t it tend to make men just without making them absurd? It would be a religion that did not make you believe in things that are impossible. He believed it would be a religion that was not contradictory. He believed that it would be a religion that was not injurious to divinity, and harmful to man.
He believed it would be a religion which did not menace with eternal punishment anyone possessing common sense? Would it not be that which did not uphold its beliefs with executioners? Wouldn’t it be a religion that did not inundate the earth with blood on account of unintelligible argument? It would be a Religion that taught only the worship of one God, justice, tolerance, and humanity. This all sounds ideal, he has my vote.
The Churches had only themselves to blame for this defiance. Since for centuries they had burdened the faithful with an overwhelming amount of doctrine. Voltaire did argue however, that faith in one God was more natural and rational to humanity. Voltaire’s problem of course, was not God but the doctrines about him which offended the standard of reason.
German Philosopher, Moses Mendelssohn, (1729-1786), who opened the way for Jews to enter Modern Europe had this to say. The universal Religion of reason should lead to a respect for other ways of approaching God. Of course, it would be including Judaism, which the churches of Europe had persecuted for centuries.
Jews were less influenced by Mendelssohn than they were by another German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, (1724-1804). Kant has described the Enlightenment as mans exodus from his self imposed reliance on external authority. He felt the only way to God led through the independent realm of moral conscience. He called this practical reason. He dismissed many of the trappings of Religion such as the dogmatic authority of the churches. He dismissed prayer and ritual.
These things all prevented people from relying on their own powers. It encouraged them to depend upon church doctrine. He was not opposed to the idea of God. However, he argued that the traditional arguments for the existence of God were useless. This was primarily because our minds could only understand things that exist in space or time. He believed that man’s mind was not competent to consider realities that are beyond this category.
He allowed that man had a natural tendency to go beyond these limits. He believed we would seek a principle of unity. He felt that would give us a vision of reality as a believable whole. This was the idea of God. It was not possible to prove the existence of God logically. It wasn’t possible to disprove it either. The idea of God was essential to us. It represented the ideal limit that allowed us to achieve a comprehensive idea of the world. Therefore for Kant, God was merely a convenience.
Kant argued against the idea of a wise and omnipotent creator. He felt this could undermine scientific research. He thought it would lead to a lazy reliance on a god who fills in the gaps of our knowledge. It could also be a source of unnecessary mystification. He believed this would lead to bitter disputes such as those that have scarred the history of the churches.
Kant was not an atheist. His contemporaries described him as a devout man. He was believed to be profoundly aware of mans capacity for evil. This made the idea of God critical to him. Kant argued that in order for man to lead a moral life men, and women, needed a Governor. One who would reward virtue with happiness. I must agree with this in the majority of cases. However there are some of us are moral enough to govern ourselves.
In his perspective, God was simply tacked on to the ethical system as an afterthought. The center of religion was no longer the mystery of God, but man himself. God has become a strategy that enables us to function more efficiently and morally. He is no longer the center for all being. It would not be long before some would take his ideal one step further. They would find it necessary to dispense with God altogether. Kant had been one of the first people in the west to doubt the validity of church traditions. He believed that they in fact proved nothing. They would never appear quite so convincing again. That was liberating to many Christians. They firmly believed that God had closed one path to faith only to open another.
A new type of religious devotion emerged alongside the rationalism of enlightenment; it was often referred to as the religion of the heart. This was because it was centered in the heart not the head. It urged people to abandon external proofs, and authorities. It urged people to discover the God that was in the heart of everyone.
John Wesley, (1703-1791), the founder of the Methodist Religion, had always been a fervent Christian. When he was a fellow at Lincoln College, Oxford, he and his brother Charles started a society known as, The Holy Club. It was strong on method and discipline. so its members became known as Methodists. In 1735 John and Charles sailed to the colony of Georgia in America as missionaries. John however returned to England disconsolate two years later.
This was because he felt he needed converting himself. During the voyage home he was impressed by some missionaries of the Moravian sect. He was impressed with the fact that they avoided all doctrine. He was agreeable to the thought that religion was simply an affair of the heart.
John underwent a conversion experience during a Moravian meeting. His conversion convinced him that he had received a direct mission from God. He believed that he had to preach this new kind of Christianity throughout England. The experience of being born again was crucial. It was absolutely necessary to experience God continually breathing on the human soul. Experiencing God would fill the Christian with a continual, thankful Love of God. This was consciously felt. Ultimately this made it natural, and even necessary to love every child of God with kindness and gentleness.
Doctrines about God they felt, were useless and could be damaging. The psychological effect of Christ’s words on the believer was the best proof of the truth of Religion. An emotional experience of religion was the only proof of genuine faith and hence of salvation. But as we know today, this mysticism can be dangerous. Mystics have always expressed the perils of the spiritual paths and warned against hysteria; peace and tranquility were the signs of true mysticism.
This born again Christianity could produce frenzied behavior.
The American scholar, Albert C. Outler points out that the new religion of the heart and the rationalism of the enlightenment was both antiestablishment. They both mistrusted external authority. Rationalism and the enlightenment both allied themselves with the modernists against the ancients. They both shared a hatred of inhumanity, and an enthusiasm for philanthropy.
It seems that a radical religious devotion actually paved the way for the ideals of the enlightenment to take root among Jews as well as Christians. Many of these sects seemed to respond to the immense changes of the period by violating religious taboos. Some even appeared blasphemous. Of course some were dubbed atheistic. Puritans had left England and settled in New England during the 1620s. This as we know, was to pursue their religion in peace. This time also brought about the first Quakers. Quakers preached that all men and women could approach God directly. There was an inner light within every person that only has to be discovered and nurtured. Once it had been discovered and nurtured everybody, regardless of class or stature, could achieve salvation here on earth. They also preached pacifism and nonviolence. *********
The new born again Christianity that was beginning to appear in the west during the 17th and 18th centuries was frequently unhealthy. It was often characterized by violent and dangerous emotions and reversals. We can see this in the wave of religious fervor known as the Great Awakening that swept through New England during the 1730s.
This was inspired by the evangelical preaching of George Whitfield a colleague of the Wesley’s and the sermons of Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). Edwards held his sermons in Northampton Connecticut. He described his parishioners there as being nothing out of the ordinary; they were sober, orderly, and good, but lacking in religious fervor.
They were no better or worse than the men and women living in the other colonies. That was until in 1734 when two young people died shockingly sudden deaths. This all changed suddenly as the people were real nervous and concerned. This was reinforced by Edwards himself who was known for his hellfire and brimstone sermons.
Edwards plunged the town into a frenzy of religious fervor. People could talk of nothing but religion; they even stopped working in order to spend the entire day reading the Bible.
In about 6 months there had been around 300 born again conversions in Northampton alone. They came from all classes of society. Edwards saw this craze as the direct work of God himself. He meant this quite literally as he repeatedly said that God seems to have gone out of his usual way of behaving in New England.
He was real pleased to see that this was moving the people in a most marvelous and miraculous manner.
It must be said however, that the Holy Spirit sometimes manifested himself in some rather disturbing ways. People would sink into deep despair thinking that God would not save them. This would be followed right away with an equally extreme feeling of elation when they all of a sudden felt saved.
They would break out with laughter while weeping and tears streaming down their faces at the same time. Sometimes they would cry out in a loud voice expressing their love for God. We are obviously far from the calm control that was supposed to be the hallmark of true enlightenment.
These intensely emotional mood swings have continued to be the hallmark of religious revival in America. It was a rebirth attended by violent swings from anger and fear to instantaneous joy and laughter. This was a new version of the western struggle with God. The awakening eventually spread like wild fire to encompass all of the colonies. Eventually emotions died down until after a couple of years things were pretty much back to normal.
The new birth of the awakening was an evangelical version of the enlightenments ideal of the pursuit of happiness. It represented an existential liberation. It liberated the people from a world in which everything awakens powerful feelings of apprehension. The awakening occurred in the poorer colonies where people had few expectations of happiness in the world. This happened despite the hopes of the sophisticated enlightenment. The experience of being born again resulted in a feeling of joy. There was a perception of beauty that was quite different from any natural sensation. Therefore, during the awakening a God experience had made the enlightenment of the new world available to the poor as well as the successful people in the colonies.
The God of Jonathan Edwards also contributed to the revolutionary enthusiasm of 1775. In the eyes of the revivalists England had lost the new light that had shown so brightly during the puritan revolution. To them England now seemed decadent and regressive. It was Edwards and his colleagues who led Americans of the lower classes to take the first steps toward revolution. Edwards felt that human effort would hasten the coming of God’s kingdom. He believed that this was attainable and imminent in the new world.
From the outset I must say my intention of going through the period of the enlightenment was to show us exactly what the mood and level of morality was during the era of the founding of our country. It absolutely backs up what we found in book one. However I am very surprised to find that it was the Colonists of the lower classes who led the way in the revolution.
They had experienced the enlightenment and its revival of morality and were driven to see the birth of a righteous nation. It was their religious fervor that actually took the first steps toward revolution.
The awakening itself made people feel that the process of redemption as described in the Bible had already begun. God, the people felt, was completely and firmly committed to the revolution. Edwards gave the Trinity a political interpretation. The Son “was the deity generated by Gods understanding, and thus the blueprint for the new Commonwealth. The spirit, “the deity subsisting in act”, was the force that would accomplish this master plan in time.
In the new world of America, God would thus be able to contemplate his own actions on earth. The society would express the Excellencies of God himself. The New England would be a shining city on the hill. It would be a light unto the Gentiles. It would shine with a reflection of the glory of God upon it which shall be attractive and ravishing to all. The God of Jonathan Edwards would be incarnated in the Commonwealth, and Christ was seen as being embodied in a good society.
Other Calvinists were on the vanguard of progress. They introduced chemistry into the curriculum of America. Timothy Dwight, Edward’s grandson, saw scientific knowledge as a prelude to the final perfection of humanity. In some respects the Calvinists were more adventurous in their thinking than the Liberals. The liberals were opposed their revivalism and preferred simple faith to the speculative, perplexing notions that disturbed them in the preaching’s of revivalists like Edwards.
Chapter 3
What We Are Really Facing Today
But now I am going to give you a fourth so to speak. We’ll refer to it as the religion of life. Keep your beliefs, they, as far as they tell you, are right and important. The true Muslims are right, the Christians are right, and the Jews are right. More importantly to me and I know you aren’t going to believe this, but so aren’t the atheists and evolutionists.
Have you not ever looked for the answers as to why the strange names for the various gods that have been prayed to over the years? Even according to the Bible, many different Gods have been worshipped. Have you not wondered why the Gods never let man see them? Why the burning bush of Moses legend, why the smoke, fire, and brimstone surrounding the mount?
I have some answers, and no, I do not know what many others do not. Millions of us have read and digested the same information I have. Many of these theories, much to the dismay of religious leaders, have already been proven. I personally don’t understand the denial and chagrin of religious leaders. To me knowing the truth is the most important thing. To me this just proves that they are right. This is not scientific theory, it is fact. It, much to the chagrin of most Religions, takes a lot of the built in mysticism out of the actual, true equation.
Once again we say some of us need more, some less, in order to understand the true meaning of life. Everyone has the need to understand life on this planet, God, and our role in all this. It is perfectly normal, and totally up to the person, as to what Religion, if any, that is needed to fulfill their specific needs. Whatever any one person decides they need in order to fulfill their specific needs, it does not make them any better or worse than anyone else.
We talked earlier about how early man, (14000) years ago communed with nature. They found that they felt closer to God when they were in beautiful natural environments. They felt the spirits just as we still do today. Everybody sees and feels the beauty in natural, world formed beauty. That is why, as we discussed, the Islamists have no love for God or life. Now we know for a fact that they are lying as to the reasons for their Jihad. They are using the excuses of Palestine, and Iraq, etc., just to play on the natural fears of the people and to get them behind their ill intentions. I am sorry to say this, but through ignorance, or purposely, our leaders are also misleading their people. They continue calling this a war against freedom hating terrorist. That has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Every time, in the history of civilization that an interruption in mans peaceful lifestyle, and coexistence occurs, there is a religious change. A change in the God man feels it necessary to pray to for help in that given situation. This as we discussed, is just one of the varied things that are going on in societies all over the world, to one degree or the other.
The churches as most of us know are undergoing revisions. This is in order to accommodate the new and increased feelings of the people. In the need for people to have something concrete in their lives to hold onto many need a higher deity to pray to. Many churches are a little at a time, reinstituting long dropped practices.
We are we facing an all out rebellion of millions of Islamists that we are scurrying to deal with. It is being worsened for us citizens of any country because the so called world leaders just do not know what they are up against. Once again, when they do admit it, it will be a temporary morale letdown for the people, but we will persevere.
I hate to be the one to have to break the news to a lot of you as to what we are really facing. Our so called leaders must realize this. WW1 was a warm up to prepare and ready us to deal with the horrific realities of ww2. In turn ww2 made us realize what it took under horrible conditions, to persevere, and deal with extreme adversity
. Hopefully this prepared us to deal with an even more terrible war. The 20th century was the bloodiest, most violent century in the recorded history of mankind. It is estimated that WW1 caused more than 30 million deaths. It was also estimated that WW2 caused around 60 million deaths. We aren’t getting better, we’re getting more destructive. This has to make one really want to avoid the deaths that may come. You have to wonder just how bad this will be if we don’t manage to stop all this before it’s too late. We are just now still facing the opening volleys of this war.
Here in America, as in every other country as far as we can see, we have the problem of immorality to contend with too. In the United States conditions we are facing are considerably worsened by the D.A.M.D. This problem is running rampant in every country in the world. Our own citizens in every country around the world are turning on the very thing that has given them the strength, and the right to do as they will, and that my friends is society.
As far as America goes, we have already discussed what our major problems are.
The major problem for us in the lower levels of society is, that as we all know, we are a money driven society. Not to say, that this doesn’t cause problems for every level, because it does. There are those of us who are scraping to hold on in every level of society. It has gotten so competitive that many people have found it necessary to put morality on the back burner. Standards we have both gotten used to and desire to have has also made many people shelve their morality.
Life has become so tenuous that many of our fellow members of society have out of necessity, let their morality go. They have resorted to saying or doing whatever they have to in order to get whatever it is they want. They have resorted to lying and try they try to get away with it. This has a horrible situation for everyone trying to live here.
This is a horrible time we are facing in our society today. This, despite what our President tells us, is a good time for our country. President Bush delighted himself belittling Senator Kerry during the election. He kept saying in regards to John Kerry’s proposed policies that he didn’t know what planet he was on. Well we don’t know what planet he is on. He has absolutely everything wrong. I hate to inform them, for the average, common citizen, this is a horrible situation. This situation that often defies explanation.
This is particularly because the people who are leading us are so, way out of touch with reality. It is once again up to us, the common citizen. We must enlighten our so called leaders as to the realities of life today. Leaders in politics, media, the legal system, they don’t have a clue. They do not even seem to care, as to what they have done to our country, and our people. They don’t seem to have a clue as to what we are really facing, and who we are really fighting. This is not simply terrorism; we are fighting a war against Islamist Jihadists.
With all the problems facing us in society today, let us just take a minute to listen to Aristotle’s take on Religion. It seems that he has hit the nail on the head as to religious interpretation. Aristotle it must be said was preoccupied with scientific fact. This is something we should pay a little more attention to today. We can stand much more of in certain fields.
We must stop hiding behind long standing mysticisms and half truths.
He pointed out, and this is fact, that people, who became involved in any particular Religion, were not required to learn any facts. They are encouraged to experience certain emotions and to put what they have learned in a certain disposition. There are entire verses, particularly in the Old Testament that the pillars of religion cannot and will not explain. Instead they leave it up to you. You must work out your own meaning to your own personal needs, and satisfaction.
I will unequivocally explain to you what these verses really mean. It is up to you to decide what to do with it. Millions of us already know the truth. Particularly if you have kept up to date with Erich Von Dannikens recent updates to much of what was once speculation. Much of this is now unshakable fact. We need more people willing to think freely and break away from what is established theory, right or wrong. Science is now too advanced to no longer test long accepted false theories.
We can today, answer hundreds and thousands of unsolved mysteries, and in some cases, are. Some of us may not like the answers we find but we can solve many of the millennia old questions. Our long established Religions are right. However they are purposely mystical and misleading as to long known and hidden facts.
For what reasons, I do not know. It does not damage my beliefs, it only proves and strengthens them. It is satisfying knowing that our belief and following of the one God is right. We do all believe that it is far better to know what you are doing not to think you know. That only causes problems to all involved. We must know and now when we have the need and the tools. We must know before we proceed, with current events heading for a crash course with reality.
All the great religions of the world believe their Holy Scriptures are right and the most sacred as should be. They appear to a student of history, to be right, and you can believe them. There are just some explanations that today, can be proven as fact. What is disturbing is that they are purposely mystified in the Holy books.
Oddly enough, all 3 Religions, (Muslim, Jewish, Christian), believe Abraham and Moses. As well they should, it is true.
None of them actually fully and correctly explain what they actually experienced. This can be excused since at the time, there was a certain mysticism, and naivety. Especially about what was being experienced. Beyond not wanting to alter perceptions one iota by the Churches, there is no excuse for this. There is no reason for these obvious inequities.
The 3 Religions purposely keep the old mystical explanations. This is just so they are more in line with our world. It is also in line with the scheme of things. Right or wrong factually this is exactly what they did see. All 3 of the great Religions also believed Aristotle, Philo, and to a lesser degree, Plato. All 3 incorporate some of these philosophers’ beliefs in their Holy books. The problem to me is that used bits and pieces, as they felt appropriate and necessary.
Let us for a minute stop and discuss Islam. Something I am right now, reading about Muslims is very disturbing. More pointedly this is something Muhammad said. This is in the Koran too, that is why it really worries me. I am sure it’ll concern you too. Its interpretation or misinterpretation is a direct reason for many of our problems with the Islamists today.
It reads as follows, “I do not worship that which you worship, and neither do you worship that which I worship”. Wait a minute, what happened to the one God, and, “Unto you your moral law and unto me mine”. Just that one statement gives credence and justification to anything and whatever a Muslim feels is right, by him or her. This is exactly what is going on today.
This has always concerned and scared me about Religious Zealots in any Religion. That is the reason we have people, supposedly in the name of Christianity, blowing up abortion clinics and killing the Doctors who perform abortions. The Muslims and Jews aren’t the only ones with the problem; we all have to deal with it.
Muslims also believe that Divine Unity also requires them as Muslims to recognize the Religious beliefs and aspirations of others. This is precisely because there is only the one God. The one God is believed in and followed by all 3 of the great Religions. Having this in mind, how can it be that the Islamists feel that they have God exclusively for their own misuse? Muhammad believed that all rightly guided Religions must come from the one God alone. He also believed that he is the God of all 3 Religions.
Muslims believe, and rightly so, that a persons Religious practices are culturally conditioned. They would thus be expressed by different societies in different ways. If this is true, and it is, then how does one explain away the feelings and beliefs, of many Muslims? They think that everyone that does not worship as they do, is inferior, and should be killed? This all, as most of us know, goes dead against the man they supposedly revere, Muhammad. All self respecting Muslims all over the world, should rise up and revolt. They should revolt against what these Islamist Jihadists are doing to their God and their Prophet.
I hate to hit you in the face with this one, but no one else is being honest with you. I finally heard, albeit understated still, the somewhat right take on what we are really facing in the war against Islamists. Of course it did not come from any of our so called leaders or experts. Many of us know that they just don’t
get it. This came from a Muslim American leader. He estimated that he wouldn’t be surprised if the number of anti American leaning Muslims was as high as 50%. He obviously, is very pro American, and is way out of the anti American loop. I will personally guarantee you that the number is much closer to 90%. We will remember a little history shortly that will illustrate for us poignantly what we are really facing.
We, as a people and a country, especially our leaders, are very slow. Not too slow I hope, to realize just exactly what we are up against. You must remember we as Christians have done the very thing the Muslims are doing right now. The difference is that now the shoe is on the other foot, and two wrongs don’t make a right. As we said, the world is a lot smaller now, and the weapons, a lot deadlier.
When the west went through this religious evolution we like to fondly call, and remember it, as the crusades. Our combatants were known as Christian crusaders. This, as we also have discussed, has been done to a worse degree, by the Jews, more than once. I don’t believe they ever had to lift a finger. You will see soon, by a time line of events that what is happening in the world today is entirely normal.
Just like the life of every civilization in History is cyclical. So too, is the life of every religion in History. As far as Islam goes, yes we are fighting the so called extremists for now. Make no mistake about it, in the end, they are all family. When it comes right down to it, they will come together. We will reluctantly as we might be, find it necessary to take on Islam as a whole.
Let us remember World War 2 and the lessons it should have taught us. Sure, we were fighting the Germans. There were still a few German citizens willing to risk their own lives, and go against their own people. They did this in order to help as many Jews and allies as possible. They did this because they had a conscience, knew right from wrong, and ultimately did the right thing. This is exactly what is going to happen with the Muslims.
Let’s talk about Islam a little bit. This is just to give us a little background on why we are having some of the problems we are having with some of the Muslims. I think it will give a lot of you a new understanding of the situation. I know a lot of this surprised me. You really can understand why some of them feel the way the do. However this by no means justifies their actions. They can get themselves on the right track as a country first. Then they can go about settling their difference hopefully under direction, and civilly.
Throughout recent history the west, primarily European Nations have been consolidating their countries. They have been putting an end to colonialism. I’m just realizing something, with what we are about to discuss. I’m going to say what should have been a good thing for Muslims appears to have been the beginning of the end for them.
In the early nineteenth century when colonization was at its peak there was a general malaise and disquiet in the Muslim world. The French had colonized Algiers in 1830 and in 1839 the British colonized Aden, (now part of Yemen). Then between the two of them they took over Tunisia (1881), Egypt in 1882, the Sudan in 1898, and Libya and Morocco in 1912. To me what is worse is what the Europeans did to Africa.
The Berlin Conference was held in 1884 -1885 to discuss how they were going to divide Africa between them. This factual blunder really amazed me. The Berlin Conference was Africa’s undoing in many ways. The colonial powers superimposed their domains on the African Continent. In no time the entire African continent acquired a legacy of Political fragmentation. One that could neither be eliminated nor made to operate satisfactorily.
In 1884 at the request of Portugal, German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck held a world meeting. He called together the major western powers of the world to negotiate questions and confusion over the control of Africa. Bismarck appreciated the opportunity to expand Germany’s sphere of influence over Africa. This was because he desired to force Germany’s rivals to struggle with one another for territory. At the time of the conference, 80% of Africa remained under traditional and local control.
What happened was the same thing that had been happening to all colonized Muslim lands. It resulted in a hodgepodge of geometric boundaries that divided Africa into fifty irregular countries. This new map was superimposed over the one thousand indigenous cultures and regions of Africa. The new countries as had been the case in the past, lacked any rhyme or reason whatsoever. Thus giving no consideration at all to how all these people would deal with the new situation that was forced on them. It divided coherent groups of people. Worse was the fact that it merged together disparate groups who did not have anything in common and did not get along.
14 countries were represented, Austria-Hungary, Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden-Norway, Turkey, and the United States. Of these fourteen Nations, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Portugal were the major players in the conference. They were controlling most of colonial Africa at the time. At the time of the conference only the coastal areas were colonized by the Europeans.
Following the conference the give and take continued never once taking the inhabitants into consideration. By 1914 the conference participants had divided Africa among themselves into 50 countries. Great Britain took Egypt, Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana; they also controlled Nigeria, and Ghana. France took much of western Africa, from Mauritania to Chad plus the Republic of Congo. Belgium took the Democratic Republic of Congo; Portugal got Mozambique in the east and Angola in the west. Italy took Somalia and a portion of Ethiopia. Germany took Namibia and Tanzania, while Spain got the smallest territory, Equatorial Guinea.
Then in 1920 Britain and France carved up the Middle East between them. They divided it into protectorates and mandates. What a mess we have created. It really is unbelievable the way this all came about. Our level of ignorance as to what we did and our responsibility for it can not be denied. These colonization projects only made a more silent process of westernization official. This had been happening since Europeans had been establishing a cultural and political dominance. This was of course, during the nineteenth century in the name of modernization.
Technicalized Europe had become the leading power and was taking over the world. Religious differences and spiritual ideals must not be allowed to impede the progress of society. Scientists, Monarchs, and government officials insisted that they be free of ecclesiastical control. Thus the ideals of Democracy, toleration, human rights and secularism were not simply beautiful ideals dreamed up by political scientists. They were, at least in part dictated by the needs of the modern state. It was found that in order to be efficient and productive, a modern Nation had to be organized on a secular, democratic basis. It was also found that if a society organized all their institutions according to the new rational and scientific norms, they became indomitable. Thus the conventional agrarian states were no match for them.
This all had fateful consequences to the Islamic world. Trading posts and consular missions had been established in Turkey and the Middle East. This had undermined the traditional structure of these societies long before there was actual Western rule. This was an entirely different kind of colonization. The new colonial order transformed the lives of the citizens of these colonized countries permanently. It was directly responsible for establishing a polity of dependence. It was impossible for the colonized lands to catch up with the institutionalized west. Old institutions had been fatally undermined and Muslim society itself was divided between those that had become westernized, and everyone else.
What had been a living civilization with its own integrity and identity was gradually being transformed into a group of dependent states. As a result they were inadequately prepared to deal with the situations put before them. Europeans had come to believe that their culture was not only superior at the present time but had always been at the forefront of progress. They often displayed a superb ignorance of world history. Indians, Egyptians, Syrians, all suffered greatly because of the arrogance of at least the British. They felt that they had to be westernized for their own good. This was because they thought of their society as being far superior.
The British thought of themselves in every way superior to the Muslims. They also believed at the time that one of the problems that they had to deal with was overcoming Islam itself. During the crusades a very negative feeling for Muslims arose. Muslims themselves had little time or energy to develop an understanding of God in the traditional way.
The year 610 saw Muhammad receive his first revelations for his new religion. By the year 622 Muhammad had many converts to his new religion. With these converts he made the first trek from Mecca to Medina. This march is what is traditionally thought of as the beginning of Islam. When Muhammad died just 10 years later he had the satisfaction of knowing his new religion of Islam would survive. The new religion finally gave the Arabs a sense of belonging and equality to Judaism and Christianity. They believed that along with the other great religions of the world, or so they thought and hoped for.
The Islamic world had been convulsed by the modernization process. Instead of being one of the world leaders, Islam was quickly and effectively placed as secondary to European civilization. Muslims were exposed to the contempt of the colonialists who were enamored with the modern way of things. They were so impressed by themselves that they were often appalled by what they could only see as backwardness, inefficiency, fatalism, and corruption of Muslim society. They assumed the European culture had always been progressive. As a result they failed to realize that they were just seeing a premodern agrarian society. They themselves were just a short time ago, also an agrarian society. They often took it for granted that westerners were inherently and racially superior and they expressed their contempt in many ways.
Western people are often bewildered by the hostility and rage that many Muslims feel for their culture. This was because of their very different experiences. They found this to be both liberating and empowering. The Muslim response should not have been unexpected. Because the Muslim world was so widespread and strategically placed that it was the first to be subjected in a concerted, systematic, manner to the colonization process in the Middle East. This was also the problem for India, Arabia, Malaya, and a significant part of Africa. Muslims in all these places very quickly felt the brunt of the modernizing assault; they would not and will not come into the modern world easily or willingly. Lets look at the results to all this and see what we are dealing with as a direct result of colonization, and modernization. It appears to be single handedly the main culprit to our problems with Islam.
Let us start by talking of Afghanistan. There are so many places to start this conversation of what we are up against world stability wise it really is a shame. As far as getting the point across I think this is a good visual start. We know why the United States was compelled to attack Afghanistan and were aided by much of the civilized world. We knew what we were up against having observed the Russians in their unsuccessful bid to defeat Afghanistan. This was only partially due to the ferocity of the Afghan people. We watched for years as the Russians battled futilely with what seemed as an endless amount of combatants. This in fact was a never ending supply of Muslim combatants.
We knew that Afghanistan was constantly being resupplied with fighters primarily over the wild mountainous region along the Afghan Pakistan border. We knew that these fighters were indeed coming from virtually every Muslim country on the planet. This as we know is the nature of Muslims. As a result of this we knew in fact what to expect when we made the decision to go in. Our mistake was trusting and relying too much in the Afghan tribesmen.
With this in mind, why I ask, do we even make believe we believe the ridiculous excuses from President Bush? He says that he was justified in going after Iraq. He also says that it was better to draw out potential fighters and fight them in Iraq than to have to fight them on American soil. If you didn’t know it before, I hope you know it now, we already did that. We already drew them out by going after Afghanistan. There was positively no justifiable thing to do with Iraq beyond monitoring activities within the country and on its borders.
This would simply have been in order to monitor proliferation of weapons or knowledge.
If simply removing Saddam was the goal we know for a fact that we should have been exploring other alternatives towards that goal as we can be sure there was. All we have succeeded in doing is increasing the difficulties ahead by going into Iraq, more than two fold. The main reason for this is now not only did we give Islamists a new place to fight and render their services. We now have another front draining our much needed efforts. We knowingly did this with the knowledge that we would get additional problems from inside the country. We also knew that it most certainly could come from across any one if not more of their borders.
We have opened a Pandora’s Box of new problems. Why, we can’t say that we did not expect the problems that followed after attacking Iraq because we did. We for some irresponsible reason chose to ignore them. At this point someone must sit down and look at the myriad of potential problems getting ready to erupt. We must ensure that we have the ability to handle them. We must also now figure out how we will prioritize resources in order to do so. We have proven ourselves grossly inadequate as an Administration of accountability and responsibility.
We are now unnecessarily fighting on an additional front while the Afghan situation is only going to get worse. The Afghan warlords are being left to carry on their tribal wars as they have done for centuries. The problem now is that we do not have the forces and resources available to keep potential insurgents from crossing into Afghanistan. Nor do we now have the ability to keep the warlords in line as we must. We are finding our ability to change their economy from one operating on opium income to something agriculturally productive and legal less than stellar. We have still not been able to do enough to teach them and give them the tools and equipment to make a legal living. We must get in gear quick. we are killing valuable time we will never get back.
Okay, let’s talk about Africa for a bit. There is not a continent on earth more torn apart with mindless bloodshed and ruthless murder than Africa. Military dictators readily steal money and goods intended to help the starving people. Their callous, senseless greed combined with famine and poverty was a recipe for disaster. This is especially true when talking of the Horn of Africa. Except for Libya, who has its oil reserves to thank, they are all having serious problems. The other countries in the region, especially Ethiopia, Somalia, and Eritrea, have been dealing with corruption, poverty, and war.
Ethiopia was governed for years under Haile Selassie. Despite financial aid from the U.S. Ethiopia has remained an underdeveloped undemocratic country. By 1974 the frenzy for an end to oppression, poverty, and corruption, had peaked. The army was able to seize more and more control from Selassie. Selassie was eventually stripped of his powers and imprisoned.
It was in prison where he was murdered by coup leaders in 1975. After bad came worse, he was replaced by Haile Mengistu who crushed thousands of political opponents, and began a reign of terror. Thousands of young men and women turned up dead in the streets. The process of elimination was well organized. However, even as he was murdering his own people Mengistu had two other problems. He had a border dispute with Somalia, and a long standing dispute with Eritrea to contend with.
With Eritrean’s attacking from the North, Somalis in the South, and counter-revolutionaries to fight in the middle, all assets were diverted to fight the enemies. Because of all this, Ethiopia had one of the lowest standards of living in the world. Then things only got worse in 1984 when famine struck. Other countries were hesitant to help because they feared Mengistu would just steal the food for his men and this is what did happen. In 1995 they got a new government under Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. The new government inherited 6 million people, starving, both physically and financially.
Eritrea who is right next door to Ethiopia has worse problems. Britain saw fit around 1943 to divide the country between its neighbors; they gave the coast and highland areas to next door neighbor, Ethiopia. Then they gave the Muslim northern and western lowlands to Sudan. In 1962 a civil war ensued that lasted for 30 years. Finally with the overthrow of Mengistu, Eritrea was given its independence. Eritrea and Ethiopia ended up in a brutal, vicious, war.
During the war were there were 100,000 killed, one million displaced. There were also hundreds of millions of dollars that went from much needed financial help in the form of food and rebuilding the countries infrastructure and redevelopment to war. In December 2000 the two countries ended hostilities by signing an internationally brokered peace agreement; we’ll see how it goes.
Most of us know of Somalia because of Blackhawk down. However, well before that Somalia too had been victimized by colonization. The British controlled the northern part while the southern part was controlled by Italy.
Italy had gained its foothold in an 1888 agreement with the Sultan of Hoya in exchange for protection. Of course Italy lost their share during WW2. For some reason Britain ended up making it one country. Italian and British rule had of course made these two distinctly different countries so it too was disastrous.
Major General Muhammad Siad Barre assumed leadership eventually. He reigned supreme, and ultimately became a tyrant. Like all dictators he eventually ended up unleashing his private armies on his enemies, things got even worse. His forces began terrorizing the citizens, treasuries were looted, and clans were systematically targeted and murdered. Somalia’s Roman Catholic priest was gunned down. People were being tortured and murdered. Soon after that 450 who were demonstrating against the murders of their leaders and they too were killed.
Things were beginning to get very desperate so in steps America. Over the next two years 50,000 Somalis would be killed in factional fighting and another 200,000 died of starvation. Then on October 3, 1993 a Ranger helicopter trying to feed starving Somalis, went down. The next day there were two helicopters down and 18 dead Americans. The Ethiopian war has killed or displaced millions. Relief efforts have been thwarted, and Somalia is ruined.
Enter Sierra Leone, according to Amnesty International, civilians continued to be arbitrarily killed, mutilated, raped, and abducted. The perplexing thing is that this was a year after the agreement between the government of Sierra Leone and the United Front was signed. This situation seems to be particularly sinister and underhanded. Against President Sankoh the rebels knew they didn’t stand a chance. So they formed an alliance with Liberian leader Charles Taylor. Together they launched a war against the Sierra Leone government.
As the rebellion got underway a group of soldiers arrived in the Capital of Freetown in 1992. Supposedly this was to demand better pay and conditions. However, it was found that their mission was to overthrow the government. Due to rapidly deteriorating social conditions, the coup was extremely popular. The RUF, (revolutionary United Front), overran titanium and Bauxite mines, that were the major source of state income.
Unlike most wars where civilian casualties are an unfortunate by product of war, the RUF deliberately targeted civilians for murder and mutilation. They indiscriminately did machete lacerations to the head, neck, arms legs, and torso. We also can’t overlook the gouging out of one or both eyes, rape, gunshot wounds, acid injections, genital mutilations, and any other kind of torture or mutilation they could think of. They also liked to use amputations as their favorite tool of terror.
They used the shirt sleeve method where the arm is amputated close to the shoulder, and the long sleeve method, where the arm is amputated at the wrist. Human Rights Watch found civilians with hands, arms, feet, legs, ears, buttocks, any number of fingers, all amputated by machete. This was all pointless, horrible, nightmarish torture.
They also used children to do their killing. One teenager recited how he would cut out the heart and lungs of his victims to eat. The children too were abused by the rebels, and were a favorite to use because they were particularly ruthless. Practically half of the countries 4.5 million inhabitants were displaced by the war. Another 500,000 were refugees in neighboring countries. While at least 50,000 died in the fighting this is still not the end of it. This while there is also an estimated 100,000 mutilation victims. The economy is in ruins. The national infrastructure needed to run the country has collapsed. It is just one more casualty of colonization.
Okay, Liberia, founded in 1822 by freed African American slaves became a Republic in 1847; you might think this country at least must be okay. After a military coup in 1980 Samuel Doe became President in 1986. In 1989 violence erupted, and he was dragged into the street and shot. Guerillas killed 250,000 people, and more than one million were displaced, and yet another colony heard from.
In Angola, a long established colony of the Portuguese they clamped down on resisting colonies by killing, capturing, and exporting even more slaves. Portugal would not cooperate with a peaceful decolonization so rebel groups emerged. The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), The National Liberation Front (FNLA), and Dr. Jonas Savimbi’s National Union for Independence (UNITA) were formed. The US and Zaire Supported the FNLA, South Africa backed UNITA, and the communist Nations helped the MPLA. So once again the table has been set for mass mayhem and murder.
So, even after the Portuguese were tossed out and as a result of outside meddling, the killing still continued. There was upward of one million dead. In 1994 the United Nations sent in peace keeping forces. Under the agreement, Savimbi was made the Vice President and his forces were allowed to join the Angolan army. Despite the concessions Made, Savimbi refused any future participation and negotiations stopped. At this point in time, Angola’s civil war has the distinction of being the longest in history, thank you Portuguese colonizers.
Talk about slaughter and mayhem for the world to deal with as a result of colonization. Let’s talk about Rwanda for a minute. The Hutu’s and Tutsi’s had lived together, and gotten along well with each other for years. However, as a result of the way in which Belgium had run the colony, contention had been built in and exploited. The name Tutsi refers to a group of people rich in cattle. When Belgium needed help running the colony it used the better educated wealthier Tutsi’s. As a result the Tutsi ended up having a monopoly on public life.
They were confronted with economic problems and the ever increasing corruption on the part of the government. As a result country leaders started demanding reforms. They especially wanted the return of the more than 600,000 refugees who happened to be mostly Tutsi’s. In response the Hutu authorities in charge declared that the country was too overpopulated to permit their return.
The stage had been set once again for horror. Rwandan Tutsi opposition forces crossed the border from Uganda on October1, 1999. The President and his closest colleagues began portraying all Tutsi’s as the enemy in order to turn the Hutu against them. They managed to do this even though they had been living together in peace for years. The result of this was slaughter.
The organizers of genocide planned for the Tutsi’s had gained control of the state political apparatus, and so the genocide began. This was genocide in its truest form a true systematic premeditated murder of a distinct group of people. The Rwandan genocide was unique in that rather than hiding the fact of what they were doing, they were quite open in their goal of Tutsi extinction. When all was said and done there were up to one million Rwandans murdered by their fellow citizens.
Answers to on going investigations are due in 2008.
The instability to Burundi’s future lies in the fact of colonialism. One of the missteps in forming new countries was in dividing the Hutu’s and Tutsi’s between two distinctly different countries, Burundi and Rwanda. Sadly this was not the first or last time the western countries would be totally insensitive to the plight of the lands and people of their colonized countries. They were eventually given their independence and of course chaos ensued. Following was a coup where 100,000 were killed in ethnic fighting. They were mostly Hutu’s, who in turn killed Tutsi’s. This was the beginning of a cycle of retaliatory violence killing tribesmen of both tribes, civil war was on. A ceasefire was brokered in 2000 by Nelson Mandela. This resulted with South African peacekeepers being sent in 2001. But Africa being Africa, what’s next is anyone’s guess.
The Democratic Republic of Congo was another victim of colonialism. Here the British once again saw it fit to change borders. They displaced local populations, in order to create the countries as they thought they should be. The British left in 1960, elections were held and Patrice Lumumba was elected as Prime Minister. With the help of the CIA, the army chief of staff carried out a successful coup. He was removed and they got Mobutu who began his 30 year reign as one of the most autocratic and corrupt dictators in the world. He was well also a crook, stealing billions from the national treasury.
Despite his corrupt regime he continued to get U.S. support as well as from the World Bank. In 1991, Mobutu adopted a new constitution, and scheduled multiparty elections. Well, as usually happens during elections in Africa, opposing parties emerged. Chaos ensued and Mobutu ended up killing 100 student demonstrators. This event provoked International outrage but elections went on anyway. Mobutu, who lost decided to fire the new Prime Minister. Mobutu had dominated the country for thirty years by pitting rival army factions against each other. He thought he would do it once again but he was wrong, it didn’t work this time. Events beyond his control will bring him down soon.
Then tiny Rwanda felt compelled to invade its huge neighbor. They did this in order to flush out the Hutu extremists who carried out their genocide. The Zaire army fled, and the Rwandan army along with anti Mobutu forces then pushed to the Capitol of Kinshasa. Mobutu was removed from office and at the time of his death, was one of the richest men in the world. Soon after, the Lawrence Kabila era began. He changed the countries name from Zaire to the Democratic Republic of Congo. He banned opposition parties, arrested the former elected Prime Minister, and, angered and alienated their allies. Of course, war erupted, a massive seven country war.
Then in January 2001, Kabila was assassinated. Then in February that year the U.N. Security Council approved a plan to have all fighting factions withdraw and be replaced with U.N. peace keeping forces throughout the country. They are still embroiled in turmoil and to my knowledge, we are still watching. These, like all the other problems we have been talking about are ours. They are all of ours, and it’s up to us to figure out how to fix them and I believe we have.
Wow, I’ve been looking to talk about some other areas of the world where we were having problems and why but this really surprised me. I just can’t believe the countries and lands that are in contention today: Except for one of the on going conflicts I think it‘s fair to say that the Muslims are involved in one way or the other, with the vast majority of them. What does not concern God and the Muslims still involves Religion; every single conflict involves religion in one capacity or the other. The other reasons for war seem to be trumped by what is happening with the Muslims.
I can’t believe no one has put two and two together yet.
There does not seem to be anything but Religious concerns right now. Normally a country may feel a need to go to war for any number of reasons. These include but are not limited to boundary disagreements, ethnic reasons, and the big one, religion. I know the world doesn’t seem to want to admit it, but aren’t we fighting in the Middle East. Africa is tearing itself apart. Europe seems to be coming apart at the seams, with Kosovo and Serbia, etc. isn’t Russia having problems with Chechnya and others? In Indonesia it is Muslim against Christian. They don’t understand why, when these people have lived happily side by side for years. I just don’t understand how they don’t understand.
I’ll tell you why, we have been trying to get heard for quite a while now. There is a lot more happening than authorities know or want to admit. This is not simply a war against a minority of extremist. This is a war against Islamic Nations as a whole. This is the time, and we just have to realize the gravity of the situation we are facing. These people want there Nations back. They don’t care who they have to kill, or alienate. This is a world insurrection of Islam; let’s call a spade a spade. This isn’t something minor or insignificant as we are being told. We are living through a world movement, a renaissance type period.
The Muslims themselves are stretching their muscles. They are reasserting themselves. Muslims are fighting Christians all over the world. Can’t we see it? Look at the Moluccas, Papua, and the Spice Islands. Can’t we see what’s happening? This is not just a few, or a few thousand, or a few hundred thousand or I suspect, even a few million. This is well documented all over the world. This is the reassertion of Muslim values, and it isn’t just a small movement.
The Koran tells them they may not begin hostilities. It does tell them that they may fight in self defense or in order to defend decent values. This is right out of the Koran. As we said, the scary part is that Muhammad and the Koran leave it once again to the people to interpret this for themselves. This self interpretation enables them as Muslims to justify any horrendous activities. However, the Koran would never allow or give credence to what these Islamists are doing to their religion, God, and Prophet Muhammad. Even if it is in an attempt to right past wrongs, it is not condoned. They are going against everything he professed and believed in. These Islamists are not furthering the cause of the Muslim people but are worsening their cause. Maybe that is their goal to bring about the end called for in the Bible, Koran, and Torah.
We, it seems have in the past inadvertently done great injustices to the Muslim people. They are not alone, and even have some western countries that have also been wronged in the past for company. What we can’t afford today especially is to all of a sudden have people think that they are going to take matters into their own hands and rectify the situation. With civilization on this planet now evolved to the degree we have, we cannot absorb all the negative repercussions of what is about to be heaped on it.
Colonialism it seems is turning out to be the single, largest, all encompassing problem for the civilized world. As we have illustrated and talked about this was occurring in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and even 20th centuries. When we were forming our country the European Nations were busy preparing the foundation for Industrialization. Hopefully the end result of all this would be the prosperity of the European people.
They indulged in taking any country they deemed to be less than civilized. They annexed the lands, subjugated the natives.
They set about taking from these lands whatever it was they wanted. The Europeans felt that they were doing these countries a favor just by being there. They were putting the people to work, even though they didn’t pay them accordingly. What they thought they were doing was bettering the people. They thought the natives would be better off by experiencing the superior European intellect. What they did next was what caused our biggest troubles. They gave them their freedom. It was the way they did it that set in motion dissent amongst the natives. This dissent has never abided and for the foreseeable future, never will.

Let us discuss the disintegration of Europe as we have known it in modern times. This is the final marker and warning to the western world as to what is happening right under their very noses. It is a little troublesome as it seems that the very countries that started industrialization and colonialism are now being torn asunder. This is happening to them as they have done in the past with all the small once autonomous Muslim countries.
They want their autonomy once again. It is the ultimate irony and the expected result in the end.
Long term
European Affairs
Cyprus with a long affair between Turkey and Greece over who
Cyprus belongs to seems to have no end in sight. Cyprus is an island
republic off the coast of Turkey in the Mediterranean. They were
given their Independence from England in 1961. You have to wonder if
we can ever work this one out either.
The Basque region wants out of Spain.
His is another long term conflict heard from. This is despite what
the Spanish have felt and done since the Madrid train bombings. The
Spanish have just increased and prolonged their problems since they
still do not know how to solve this never ending long term dilemma.

- This is a little absurd to me. Morocco is being commended for admitting that they lost track of hundreds of trained Al Quaeda. The obvious question should be who on earth can possibly believe them? We can only hope that behind the scenes we are verifying what we are hearing. With Morocco you would automatically assume that they let them out the back door. This was done for the sole purpose of living and fighting another day another time. All these religious problems make me want to say that this all appears to be the Religious order of disorder and oneness.
We have got to seriously deal with this or it is only going to get worse.
All the conflicts, yeah, speaking of that, didn’t we as almost a single unified Alliance of all free civilized Nations, declare war on the terrorists and terror? Wasn’t it the terrorists, Al Qaeda that declared war on us, the United States, and the west? Aren’t all those conflicts, other than the established ones, involving Muslims, or Muslims against Christians? Look at the Middle East, Africa, and Indonesia. I have heard that at any given time 33% of the world is in conflict. Look at the next quote from Radio Free Europe. I continue to say it, bar none that I can see, leaders, media, governments, they don’t get it.
They are looking at and concerning themselves with the wrong thing. They to a person just don’t get it, or they don’t want us to know. It would be nice to see some on the ball frankness. Speaking of this, I just heard a Senator just returned from Iraq calling for the same thing. I will guaranty you that it will never happen, not with this president.
It isn’t necessary to go beyond the boarders any more. As far as they, (Muslims), are concerned, the enemy is within. Most often this happens to be Christian members of their own country. However they can also be fellow Muslims of another sect. They don’t even like each other. Something is definitely wrong with this picture. They want leadership of their countries and the world, back. They will not settle for anything less. I will guarantee you that would only be the beginning if they did.
In this book the so called experts go on to say with a straight face, and I quote, “what is more interesting is that 80% of the wars today are fought because of poverty. They go on to say that poorer countries were found to be at greater risk of war than their richer neighbors. Indeed, most of the wars were fought by countries with severe economic problems; I mean come on get with it.
Man when are we going to wake up and get with it, of course 80% of the wars are now fought behind their own borders. Of course 30% of the wars are fought in poverty stricken countries. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon, politician, world leader, or so called expert. Just a little bit of common sense and insight, which none of these people seem to possess. They just don’t get it; look at all these conflicts for what they really are first. Every single one of them involves Muslims.
Thirdly they go on to say that yes, ethnicity is still a factor but not as big a factor as you may believe. It is when ethnicity is tied into poverty that war results. In richer countries, these ethnic divides are more easily breached without violence and war. Boy, how far from reality can these supposed know it alls really be? They are just not waking up.
The so called experts have once again lumped all statistics and evidence into categories they are familiar with, but dead wrong. War was traditionally fought for the three reasons they stated, poverty and ethnicity as two, and the third they say, was lacking. They have to stop looking at things in conventional terms. There is a new variable thrown into the mix here. The sooner they wake up to it the quicker we’ll be able to remedy things. The three categories they covered just happened to perfectly describe the Muslim situation or do they not see that?
Kofi Anan’s take on today’s situation albeit, wrong again, is this. He acknowledges that poverty does play a role in many contemporary standoffs. He would like to see us shift our focus of attention to the lack of equality and power many domestic social groups face in the world today. He feels that it is inequality rather than poverty that is the driving force for conflicts today. Here again is another person heard from who has the right problem but the wrong reason for it. Why don’t we just focus our attention on the real problem, the Muslim situation? Focus on that and we will be able to take care of our current and future problems.
They just don’t get it, it’s sickening. He goes on to say, regardless of whether the inequality is due to ethnicity, national identity, or economic class, it tends to be reflected in unequal access to political power, no sh*! Sherlock. Well, that sounds good to your average ignoramus, or politician, but it is way off and dead wrong again. We just have to wake up. If any of these so called world leaders are going to be able to pull it together and help the world they have got to see reality
. They have to, if any of these conflict burdened, war ravaged starving countries are to be helped. They first have to see and acknowledge what is really going on here. They just don’t seem to want to admit to it or they just really don’t get it. We must as a world, be able to focus our good intentions on the right area so we can remedy the situation.
According to the United Nations another factor that fuels the fires of violent conflict today is the disturbing rise in ethnic politics. They just got through saying that the majority is not due to ethnicity. Isn’t religion ethnic? Didn’t they just get through saying that ethnic politics are fueling the fires? I think they are all too confused and overwhelmed.
Why don’t they just think one step further and find out or just tell the world what role religion plays in all this. They will find out that yes, the countries are poor. One race or the other is desiring to usurp authority and take it over. Even from other Muslims, for their own faction or tribe. Unequivocally you will find that there are Muslims on one side or the other, or both, of every single conflict.
This is not a small ordeal we face; it is time you are made aware of the gravity of what is ahead. This is not a few thousand Islamists we are dealing with, as we’ve been told. This is an attempted resurgence involving millions of Muslims with a lot more to come. This is occurring on every level of society and it seems in every country. Not by everyone, but it’s early yet. I have firm confidence that what we are embarking on is not good, and can be circumvented; we have just, and simply, to focus our attentions on the right problem. We can prevent this and regardless, we will prevail.
As we have illustrated, the entire world seems to be in conflict. We have, call them what you want, religious or ethnic, wars going on all over the entire world. Make no mistake about it, this is all about God. Self admittedly there is not a person in the world who can with firm conviction even talk about him by name. We do not know in any capacity if he is still around. No one even knows if he exists. Yet we continue to fight and kill in his supposed interests. These people are not doing this to recover a country for the people, or for their life.
Their government, their interests are for Islam and Islam only. Not all of Islam only their idea of Islam, They do not even want other Muslims involved or around. This cannot be tolerated, accepted, or allowed. Leaders must recognize and admit what is going on today and take appropriate action. Sadly enough this is yet to be done. As we said, these people are doing all these wrongs supposedly in the name of Allah, Muhammad, and the Muslim people. As you know by now this is just a flat out lie. They have greatly hurt the Muslim cause. They have betrayed the average Muslim. They have turned their backs on the very person whose name and beliefs they are supposed to be defending. If he was to be if alive today he would put them out himself.
This is not the 20th century. We don’t have all the time in the world. These people aren’t playing games and they don’t stop. We have to work as a goal, towards the real problem we are dealing with. We must start putting our energies towards the Muslims in these conflicts. We must figure out exactly how wide the problems are. We can head this all off, but someone has to get on the ball.
I will guarantee you that all of these conflicts are God based. They are once again due to religion. To be more specific it is the Muslim countries wanting once again to take back control of their lands. They are fighting because they want the Christians out of their borders and countries. Just look all over Indonesia as we discussed. Look at Africa, another hot spot. Not only did we arbitrarily reestablish their borders after colonization. They are all in poverty and they all involve Muslims on one or even both ends of the conflict. As we have discussed, these people can’t even tolerate each other. Once they are done with us there will not be an end to it as some might think. They will just turn on each other.
Right now It appears that all the on going new conflicts can be blamed on and narrowed down to one word. As we explained and talked about in detail, no one today or in the history of civilization even knows if he exists. We are of course talking about God. We have talked about the many unexplained mysteries of the world. Many of these have been attributed to unknown civilizations and forgotten knowledge. We don’t even have the technology today, to duplicate some of these feats.
Excuse me but isn’t this World War Three? The entire world appears to be in conflict. I am reading a book called, “World Conflict”, By Steven Strauss. Let me give you some quotes. Some are from World Leaders that will illustrate just how, not with it, these people really are. They really don’t get it. I’m in a section on war and poverty and listen to all this worthless garbage. Now this all sounds nice, expert, and what the people want to hear. But they unequivocally missed all the boats. This is a larger part of why we have so many problems today. Now listen to some of this.
According to a report by Radio Free Europe journalist Anthony Georgieff, the center of War and Peace Research in Uppsala, Sweden issued a report that stated most conflicts today occur within a country’s own borders. This conflicts with the past when wars were fought between different countries. This little bit of worthless information is just that. You just stop, learn what we have been saying, and look at all these conflicts in those terms.
These so called world leaders have got to see reality. They have to see what is really going on in order for us to successfully deal with this. They have to take all these worthless, ridiculous figures and apply them in a helpful, useful, practical way. They must realize how many conflicts are involving Muslims. Look at all these conflicts, look at the Middle East. Look at Bosnia, look at Chechnya, you will find what we have been saying all along. We are witnessing an attempted religious revival. It is normal, but certainly not healthy, not at this stage of civilization.
The Muslims have had enough, of what I at least have to agree with has been years of misuse and abuse of Muslim lands. One just has to look at the history of the last two hundred and forty years. You can only come to the conclusion that, yes we have made many mistakes. As we said, this by no means calls for or justifies what is happening in the world today. All these coldly brutal and deadly activities many of them have resorted to must stop.
We discussed how the Europeans met in Germany and carved up Africa between them. However, in reality that was only a small part of what they did. The European powers colonized one Islamic country after the other. They did this with absolute and total disregard for the population as was the way years ago. This was done not because they were Muslims. This was done because they wanted the riches these lands added to their growing needs and industries.
France occupied Algeria in 1830; Britain occupied Aden nine years later. Then they occupied Tunisia in 1881 and Egypt in 1882. The next victim was the Sudan in 1889. This was followed by Libya and Morocco in 1912. In 1915 the territories of the Ottoman Empire were split up. This was done as a reward for their siding with Germany during WW2. Ottoman Empire or Turkish Empire lands, covered Southwestern Asia, Northeastern Africa, and southeastern Europe. This division was between France and Britain in anticipation of victory. After the war Britain and France set up protectorates and mandates in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, and Transjordan.
This was felt as outrage since the European powers had promised the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire their independence. That one little action has to have added a lot of animosity to an already seething hatred for the West.
I would say last but not least, the Muslims in the Balkans, Russia, and central Asia were controlled by Russia. They forcibly became unwilling subjects of the new USSR, (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) when it was created. This is just a few more of the conflict, problem, countries heard from, As a result once again, these were Muslim countries that were simply annexed and now they want their freedom. We have really made a mess of things.
It seems like the whole civilized world had a hand in causing the Muslim problem. With this in mind, it is only right that the entire civilized world help us to right the solution.
Even after some of these Muslim countries were given their independence there were often times they continued to control their economy. This happened with the oil produced and the Suez Canal, as well as in other situations. European occupation often left a legacy of bitter conflict and hate. It is totally understandable and should have been expected.
Another huge problem today was caused when in 1947 the British left India. The Indian subcontinent was cut up. They gave India to the Hindu and Pakistan to the Muslims.
Most of us are aware of the immediate problems that this is bringing the world today. Also things over there are so volatile between the two countries over a slew of issues. Not the least is the fact that both of these countries have Nuclear weapons. What is worse is that they seem only too ready to use them. Worse of all is the fact that, that particular part of the world is a hot bed for Islamists.
Even worse is the fact they are not alone, with this combative destructive attitude. Then in 1948 the Arabs of Palestine had their home given away underneath them. They lost their land to the Zionists who set up the State of Israel there for the Jewish people. Of course this was done once again with the help of the west and the United Nations in this case. What a coincidence, another one of the world’s hot spots and biggest problems, and we did that too.
The loss of Palestine became a potent symbol of the humiliation of the Muslim world at the hands of the west. The west seemed to have no problem with dispossessing and placing into permanent exile, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. I don’t know about you but in writing this story I am learning a slew of little tidbits. Some of these I have never heard and certainly never knew.
Starting with colonialism right to the present day we have done a myriad of injustices to the Muslim people. As we said, it all had nothing to do with the fact that these were Muslims so we were going to take their lands. It just happened to have worked out this way.
They just, as a people happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. As you know, if we were going through industrialization today rather than three or four hundred years ago, things would be vastly different.
Three or four hundred years ago there was no diplomacy as we know it today. There wasn’t even a thought to the natives of any country where the lands were, “discovered” by the so called civilized world. It was just claimed or possessed by the finding country. At that time it was thought that the land belonged to those that “discovered” it, not the people that lived there. If you “discovered” something in another so called uncivilized country you just laid claim to it and took what you wanted.
The way things were done years ago would never work today. We are a more mature world of civilizations. We now realize you cannot trample on someone else’s ground. The planet has gotten a lot smaller, weapons a lot deadlier, and the planet a lot more fragile. The environment just can’t handle all the destruction any longer. We must somehow get the entire planet to realize this. A lot of people have been wronged in the past, in every country in the world. However, we just can’t let people think they can take matters into their own hands and seek at any cost, retribution.
There has to be a way to work things out with the world in everyone’s favor. We can’t simply allow every country in the world that has been wronged by another to just take matters into their own hands. The entire world would be in turmoil. This is exactly what is happening more and more. We simply can’t continue to just absorb this. Civilization and the planet have already gone through this part of evolution. We cannot turn back at this point. Man civilization and the planet can’t and cannot be expected to go through this again. It is up to us as the collective people of the world to learn and apply this.
You know, it is pretty disturbing to see the role that France has played in all of these problems with Muslim countries. What is worse, is realizing that today they refuse to help in many areas particularly Iraq. They, second only to Britain, have benefited greatly as a result of Colonization. They also benefited greatly from the divvying up of Turkish lands after WW1. They have played a pretty large role in the problems with the Muslims. Knowing this there is certainly no excuse or justification for Jacque Chirac’s bad attitude.
They personally had a role in Iraq’s demise. So I do not understand their unwillingness to participate in fixing the problems. They are just as libel for today’s problems as any other most guilty country.
This was not a concerted effort to go after every Muslim country. It just happened that all the poor desolate countries were Muslim. They, as a people had spread all across Africa, Indonesia, and many parts of Russia. They also spread out into European countries such as Spain and Greece. Hearing this you have to come to the conclusion that they are just as guilty as the rest of the world. This is just a reminder that none of you probably do not need. With that in mind, every single one of these countries today is having problems with resurgence of Muslim Nationalism. It seems much of the world is also experiencing this. Unfortunately for the Muslims and the entire world, all the lands they want belong to another Nation. We can’t at this point just let any country take what they want.
Chapter 4
Working on the Reality of God
Before we go on to other problems and insights, the thoughts of one more person deserves note. During the 14th century there was an explosion of mystics. One of particular interest, in light of what we are experiencing today, is from Germany.
Meister Eckhart, (1260-1327), was a Dominican friar. He was also a brilliant intellectual that lectured on Aristotle’s philosophies at the University of Paris. In 1325 however, his teachings brought him into conflict with the Archbishop of Cologne. The Archbishop to no ones surprise at the time had him arraigned for heresy. He was charged with denying the goodness of God. He was also charged with teaching that God was born in the soul as many famous philosophers believed. They were particularly bothered by the fact that he was teaching about the eternity of the world.
Meister Eckhart was a poet and completely enjoyed paradox, and metaphor. While he believed that it was right and rational to believe in God, he denied that reason alone could form any adequate explanation of Devine nature makes sense huh.
The final proof of a knowable thing is made through either the senses or through the intellect. As far as God is concerned, there is neither sensory nor intellectual perception. This is because he lacks, even according to all known scripture, any form known to us. God was not a being whose existence could be proved, like any other object known to man. Therefore, declared Eckhart, he was nothing, Whoa. Oddly enough, that is the final feeling of every believer and non believer, think about it. All 3 of the great Religions in the end, leave it up to you. This is precisely because no one has ever seen him. None of the 3 is even allowed to depict, or name him, Sooooo!
Quickly, in the Jewish Religion followers read and follow their Holy book called the Torah. These Holy Scriptures tell the Jews how to follow their Religion. They also teach them how to adhere to Gods principals. This is to enable them to be as near and like him as they can. The Scriptures include the Old Testament which is also among the Scriptures read and followed by Christians.
This includes the 10 Commandments that were handed down to Moses by God on the mount. The 10 Commandments are also followed by Christians. They are followed as a symbolic way of living in the presence of God. It is a fact that Christ was a Jew. This knowledge and the belief in and sharing of many beliefs that make at least me think that the reason we align ourselves so closely with Israel is that we too believe that they are the chosen ones. As a result we hope to be saved along with them. I, like many of you, take exception to constantly being referred to as a Christian Nation. Yes, we were founded on Christian principals but we are a Nation of all Religions. We are a Religious melting pot as we are a cultural melting pot. We were founded by whites but we don’t refer to ourselves as a white Nation. Personally, I like to refer to myself as a homogenized American since I have many nationalities.
As I mentioned earlier, I have been thinking about life, God, the Universe, the planet, and our place in all this as human beings for years. Believe it or not, I was about 8 years old when I first remember going to church, and then Sunday school. I personally, have to know, thinking you know only gets you in trouble. So, at this time, I started thinking about life, and God, etc.
All my life, I have been told that I think too much. How on Gods green earth does one stop thinking anyway. I was told by the very people who raised me, that I was too righteous for my own good. I was told that people didn’t like me because I was too direct. The very fact that I told the truth whether it was in my favor or not, bothered many people. I was also labeled as a martyr and I was brutally honest. Now, after 40 years, everything has come full circle in the thought process. This is my time. We have to have people who know right from wrong. We need people who do the right thing. They should do the right thing not for them, but the right thing for their fellow man.
I finally have everything worked out, and I can’t believe no one has put everything together before this. It is particularly disconcerting that our leaders and the experts don’t have a clue. It is time for common sense, common sense derived from being a commoner. Common sense comes from living in the trenches of life, not of being middle or upper class. You have to be able to relate with the underclass of any country or Religion. So by definition I guess, you have to be there, or come from there.
I will tell you unequivocally that this is not theory. This is 100% fact. No matter what your religious beliefs are, you to will see the facts, and believe. However incomplete, hold onto your faith because it is true and necessary.
As I was saying earlier, when I started doing the research to give credence to, and back up my thought process, and theories. I was absolutely astounded to find that every great philosopher, astronomer, and thinking man, in the history of the civilized world has to a smaller, or larger, degree, agreed with me. They had hit the nail on the head. However they never had the opportunity to put the whole story together. As to God, life, the planet, the universe, and mans origin and role in all this.
These men have all been ostracized for their beliefs. They were loathed. They were thought of as atheists. They were imprisoned and yes, even killed. All this for corrupting the minds of the youth, as happened in Socrates case.
Socrates too, was a thinking man. He saw thought as a process of recollection. Something we had always known, but had just forgotten. Aristotle was the first to see the importance of logical reasoning. This attribute is something that is very important and very rare today indeed.
Aristotle was convinced that it was possible to arrive at an understanding of the universe by applying the principle of logical reasoning. This is absolutely true, but in my case it took both, logical and inductive reasoning. He also, as many of us do, had an acute understanding of Religion, and mythology. He believed we were one. One and the same with nature, God, and the universe so beautiful and so true. Take all you know and are learning now, and take some time to stop and think about it, put it all into perspective.
Carrying it further, Plato, like Aristotle, another great Greek philosopher, sometimes defended Socrates and sometimes had his own ideas. He carried Socrates beliefs even further. He was getting even closer to the whole picture.
Plato, like Socrates, had also been Religious about his philosophy. They found that their scientific and speculative reasoning had inspired them with a vision of the full glory of the universe, don’t you just love it. Plato’s beliefs would help him to realize his true self. This happened by freeing his soul from his body and enabling him to ascend to the divine world.
He believed the one true God is from where all existence was derived from because of its pure being. He believed that the eternal aspects of our universe came from the one God. This in turn animated the sun, the moon, and the star. Thus, this put each of these in their perspective alignments, interesting.
They’re getting it; they are putting it all together. I hope you have all been thinking, rethinking, and contemplating, this entire discussion. This is all so right on. Believers in Plato did not need barbaric tales of a God. A God, who all of a sudden, would decide to create our world, was not needed. They felt no need for someone who would decide to destroy his own creation. They had no need for someone who ignored established rule in order to communicate directly with a specific group of people.
This, as we know, did occur with the Jews. It makes no sense at all that an all loving, understanding God, would appear to just one people. It makes no sense that he would appear under the conditions that he did. It makes no sense that a loving forgiving God would annihilate whole peoples he did not like. That is, unless there was an underlying reason for these actions, and there was.
I know the answer as do millions of you who have read some enlightened literature on the subject. You will be enlightened, and know the objective truth about, oh, so much.
Intellectual and spiritual thinkers have confronted their ignorance in the understanding of God, Religion, and the universe. They did not have all that I do now, available to me. They did not have the luxury of peace and time to really dwell on these subjects, in an unbothered atmosphere.
Any person that taught anything other than church accepted doctrine, was as we know, risking life and limb. I just had another interesting thought in regards to ancient philosophers, thinkers, and life theorists. They were luckier than us today in the respect that their lives were lived at a time a lot closer to the actual visits of the Gods. They were lucky to be around at the time of the one God, the God of Moses and Abraham. This of course, is Yahweh, the one true God worshipped by Muslims, Jews, and Christians. Do you think that the documents that were most probably still around in prestigious libraries influenced their way of thinking? Do you think they were influenced by the rumors and innuendos that were still floating around?
Philo, who we talked about a little earlier, was a Jewish philosopher. He was around about 350 years before the time Christ was born. He took Plato’s beliefs yet another step further. He imagined that God had devised a master plan of creation. This master plan of creation corresponded with Plato’s way of thinking. It corresponded with his theory of the realm of the forms. He believed that they in turn would be incarnated into what we know is the physical universe.
Philo described a passionate, joyful, voyage into the unknown. This in turn brought him freedom and creative energy. Like Plato, he saw the soul as an exile that was until death, trapped in the human body, and the physical world. Upon death, the soul would ascend to God, its true home. It would leave behind the human senses. He believed this because these are what bind us to the imperfect physical world.
I know that like these philosophers, I am not the only one that believes man is just a minute life form on this earth. We simply play the same role as other, even smaller or larger forms of life. In turn, everything that lives on this planet is merely a part of the life of the planet. The planet in turn is part of the universe as a whole. The big problem with man is that he has a brain and often fails to use it.
This brain, (mind) is what separates us from all other life forms on this planet. It is precisely the brain, which is turning out to be our biggest problem to ourselves. Man often feels superior to all other living things. He feels it is up to him to do as he will with whatever he wants. This really scares me. I have always felt that if life on this planet, in any form, is dependant on man for survival, it is doomed. Man has shown that he can’t even manage himself. Give them a right and they’ll make it a wrong. Ever hear of that one? Sadly enough that seems to apply to man as a whole. It is a frightening thought when you look at our track record.
We are now the keepers of the World and that is not a good thing. Man does not have the capability to manage his own life, forget about the planet. I always said that once something is depending on man for life, it’s all done. Man as a whole does not know how to do the right thing without letting their own idiocies get in the way. They do not seem to be able to do the right thing for themselves let alone for anything else. With that in mind, it reminds me of something I heard Jane Goodal say the other night. She made this statement while at a meeting on the condition of the planet. She just said that we messed it up. We made a mess of things, I agree, yes we have. Despite this it is not too late. We can do this, but we need the best of every field, all over the world. We can beat this.
We were given a brain in order to make up for our lack of physical prowess, and strength. This was in order to enable us to survive in a very hostile, wild environment that was life on planet earth. Now we no longer have to concern ourselves with surviving the might of fellow creatures. As a result we have turned our energies exclusively on each other. This can, and will, turn out only one way. Maybe that was the purpose of man in the first place. Maybe his role is just a way to bring the planet full circle in its life process. If not, we better get our collective selves together because that is exactly what is going to happen.
The very fact that we do have a brain is what makes it necessary for us to understand in varying degrees, of life and mans role in it. Our brain gives birth, and necessity, to various Religions and various beliefs. Being of one Religion or the other, or for that matter, none at all, makes you no better or worse than anyone else. Your psyche just needs a little more information, and understanding. This is for you to realize and understand your role on earth and the universe.
Speaking about mans mind and ancient philosophers, just seems to naturally flow into a discussion on Kabbalah. Which as many of us know, is practiced by many in hollywood. When the Jews were first under the Islamic empire there was no anti-Semitism or Religious persecution. As a result there was no need for mysticism. As the Muslim situation and Religion developed and evolved however, this changed. Once again, religion has evolved as a response to external conditions. This is the same thing that is happening once again today.
Kabbalists began to give their God a mystical appeal. Both the Muslims and Christians also found necessary, in response to Judaism. This discipline of mysticism was handed down from mystic to disciple and was called Kabbalah. Kabbalah literally stands for “inherited tradition”.
The God of the Mystics was able to reach, and touch, fears and anxieties differently than those that are philosophically explained away. Kabbalah, as we mentioned, is known to most of us only because Hollywood stars practice it. It is practiced as a means of dealing with the increased stresses that come with a Hollywood life.
Kabbalists try to penetrate the inner God They attempt to penetrate their inner anxieties. They do this instead of speculating rationally about the nature of God and the universe. They attempt to alleviate the problems in his relationship with the world. In this attempt Kabbalists have turned to their inner self, their imagination.
Kabbalists, like virtually everyone else on the planet, regardless of Religion or lack there of, believe that God or his spirit exists in everything.
There is one glaring, obvious, exception, “the Islamists”. They hold nothing sacred, and will destroy anything and everything. Virtually everyone else believes that god, and, or, his spirit are in everything that exists. Having these thoughts in mind, this tells you without a doubt, that the Islamists, with their wanton destruction of life and nature, are in fact, against God himself.
Let us briefly discuss the important roles of polish astronomer, Nicolas Copernicus, (1473-1543), and Italian scientist, philosopher, and inventor of the telescope, (1613), Galileo, (1564-1642).
What absolutely astounds me about these two men is that one, Copernicus in 1530, had completed his studies on the universe. He then declared to the civilized world that the sun was the center of the universe. And two, this was almost 85 years before Galileo had even invented the telescope. This is positively amazing. How on earth could anyone possibly have known that?
We will be getting to that in depth real soon. We will just remember for now, that he was around at a time a lot closer to when the Gods were known to have visited earth. As we discussed, you have to wonder, what ancient documents were around to reference. Needless to say, that as a result of Copernicus claim, his treatise was put on a list of books forbidden to be read by Catholics. Poor Galileo, as a result of his assertion that Copernicus was correct in his assumption, was immediately summoned before an inquisition. He was immediately commanded to retract his scientific creed. As a result he was ultimately sentenced to indefinite imprisonment.
The Roman Catholic Church was instantly opposed to any change in their doctrine. This was the same as any other institution during this period when conservatism ruled the day. What did make the church different was that it had the power to enforce its will, and did. At this point the Roman Catholic Church was a well oiled, smoothly running machine. They were terribly efficient at imposing intellectual conformity.
Inevitably, the condemnation of Galileo inhibited further scientific studies of many outstanding scientists. We can be sure that was their goal. The Roman Catholic Church however did not condemn his theory because it endangered belief in God the creator. They condemned it because it contradicted the word of God according to scripture. It didn’t matter that he was right, hmmm.
This once again, has to lead us to question the Bible, Torah, and Koran. Specifically for the reason that they were written when we did not know many of the facts we now know. Scriptures say that heaven and the earth were created for the benefit of man. How could this be, if as Galileo claimed, and of course it is fact, that the earth was just another planet revolving around the sun. Heaven and Hell were regarded as real places. Today, as many even then thought, we know them as the heavens and the core of the earth. Many occurrences that have been proven to be natural, in the Bible are credited to God. We have to correct all doctrine to reflect the facts as we have grown to learn them. We must if for no other reason than to stop any confusion, misunderstanding, or redundancy.
There is a tremendous amount of what were once unexplained phenomena, misguided theory, and just plain old misconceptions that at one time were acceptable. Today, an awful lot of past events and inexplicable artifacts are no longer shrouded in mystery. They have been proven as facts. They have been proven and some of us agree, some of us will not. There are an awful lot of inconsistencies in our recollection of ancient history. Our archaeology leaves tremendous unanswered questions. Our Religious scriptures are no longer considered accurate. This is due to recent proven facts.
Our understandings have been matured. Also new scientific discoveries have disproven old beliefs often unambiguous and overly rife with mysticism.
There is much that is inconsistent with our archaeology. One reason is that we find electric batteries many thousands of years old. We also find strange beings in perfect space suits with platinum fasteners. We have found numbers not even registered by our computers, 15 digits, can you believe it? Just how did early man achieve this? There are just too many holes in the fabric of our history. We have the technology and the ability to fill them and must. We need only now, the collective desire to do so.
Let’s get used to the idea that the world of facts as we were taught them, are now known to be incorrect. The knowledge we have grown up with for years, was full of supposition and theory. It is going to collapse in time.
As we already talked about, there are too many inconsistencies with our religious scriptures. Every Religion promises help and salvation to man, just as the Gods did. Why did the ancient Gods use ultra-modern weapons to annihilate harmless, primitive people? Why did the Gods plan to destroy whole populations, and indeed did do this?
Knowledge that has been hidden in the secret libraries of secret societies for centuries are being rediscovered. The age of space travel which severely encumbered ancient mans comprehension of events, is no longer a secret. Gods, Kings, priests, heroes, ancient villains, we must revisit all of them and force them to give up their secrets. We now have the ability to figure out all these secrets. We can now find out all about the past. We have the ability to leave no gaps. We have the ability to leave no guess work and we must.
Archaeologists to me are invaluable. Their work must be enhanced by the use of hypersensitive equipment designed to detect what we cannot perceive. We must once again revisit any questionable archeological site with ultra sensitive equipment and measuring devices. Priests who seek the truth in all Religions must once again question and doubt everything that is established. We must put it to the test. We owe it to ourselves. We owe it to our past, and we owe it to our future.
The Gods that have visited Moses, Abraham, and other parts of the world, have left behind many trails. These trails today can be tracked and correctly deciphered. We do know our past and what we have been teaching for centuries is not it, at least 100% correct. Today, space travel has become so much a part of our every day life. It was completely alien to our ancestors. However, it was a reality to the Gods of yesteryear.
The Sanskrit scholar Dr. Dileep Kumar Kanjilal, professor of Sanskrit and Indology at the Sanskrit College of Calcutta at least to my knowledge, was the first scholar to publicly say that, “It can be doubtlessly proven from old Indic texts that the earth had been visited and influenced by extraterrestrials in remotest antiquity. This has been proven beyond doubt and we will go on to show and prove it.
Chapter 5
Histories
Realities
What was once a concrete law that the sun revolved around the earth was believed to be true for thousands of years. We are still convinced that our earth is the center of all life. Even though it has been proven that the earth is just an ordinary relatively insignificant star in the big picture called the Universe. Even though we know for a fact that the earth is not the center of the universe religions continue to disregard this.
It is time for us to admit to our insignificance by adding to our fledgling discoveries in the vastly unexplored cosmos. Only then will we realize the real stature of man in the realm of the universe. Our future lies in the opportunities posed by the universe as the Gods promised they would. Why do you think they knew that? They were right but do you not wonder what was known that could not be told to the people?
The basic research for the rocket propulsion of tomorrow, with enough power to propel us well into a research of the cosmos, is well underway. Rocket motors of the future will be mainly powered by nuclear fusion. They will have the ability of travel nearly the speed of light. The fuel supplies will be transformed into electromagnetic radiation. They will then be ejected from the rocket as a clustered propulsive jet once the speed of light is approached. We can see these speeds as attainable. Particularly in light of the fact that we just approached 10 times the speed of sound. This was a physical impossibility even a few years ago.
A bold new method whose feasibility is already being tested and shown by physical experiments on actual individual elementary particles will be the photon rocket. Admittedly, this sounds so futuristic, but the future is here. It is up to us to take advantage of it to the fullest. We have the ability to learn as never before. We can save ourselves a lot of grief, and we are obligated to future generations to do so.
As we discussed, our historical past is a hodge podge of excavations and old writings, biased with naivety. Many of which we have to say, have been proven to be loaded with misinformation. However we continue to refer to and teach them as historical fact. We are still attempting to weave them into historical teachings and life today. Even though we know they are wrong instead of correcting them to what we now know of as facts.
Before we continue any further I want to give credit where it is due. The information we are talking about in regards to our past have come from a book, as I have said previously, that I first read more than 30 years ago. The book is Erich Von Danikens “Chariots of the Gods”. I encourage many of you, if interested, to get his books and read further on his subjects.
There is much information and speculation that we will not be covering. We are only interested in the facts as they relate to our past. We are only concerned with what relates to our current problems in society and the world. Ultimately we are concerned about our future survival. So, with this in mind it behooves us to get our past right. However, in the interest of learning knowing and practicing that which we know is true, we have to do this right. We must find out the facts first. We must do this before we too are guilty of knowingly spreading falsehoods and unknowns.
In 1929 ancient maps that belonged to a Turkish navy Admiral Piri Reis were found. They were found at the Topkapi Palace during renovations. Two atlases preserved in the Berlin State Library which contains exact reproductions of the Mediterranean and the region around the Dead Sea also came from Piri Reis. All 3 maps were given to an American cartographer for examination. He confirmed the remarkable fact that all the Geographical data was present. He sought the help of a cartographer in the U.S. Navy Hydrographic Bureau. The men then constructed a grid and transferred the maps to a modern globe.
They made a sensational discovery. The maps were absolutely accurate. They were right not only in regards to the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. The coasts of North and South America, and even the contours of the Antarctic were accurately shown. The maps not only reproduced the outlines of the continents. They also showed the topography of the interiors, mountain ranges and peaks, islands, rivers, plateaus, they were all drawn in with utter accuracy.
In 1957 the maps were given to Jesuit Father Lineham who again, was a Cartographer in the U.S. Navy. After extensive testing he too could only confirm that the maps were amazingly accurate. What is more is the fact that we did not even discover these mountain ranges until 1952. This was because they were covered with ice. So our maps were drawn with the use of echo sounding gear. The latest studies done by Professor Charles Hapgood and Mathematician Richard Strachan give us even more earth shattering information. A comparison with modern photographs of the earth taken from satellites show us that the Piri Reis maps had to be taken aerially and from a very great height, how.
Just in regards to copies of his maps in Germany one has to ask how they got there in the first place and when. Also you have to think that if any one country at that time had that kind of information and knew what to do with it would rule the world. The information was obviously over their head and they did not have the where with all to do anything about it if it wasn’t. Germany at least knew this information at a point in their history where it would have been very beneficial to use had they known what to do with it.
Events happened with just Turkey and Germany that had they the knowledge of how to use this information the world as we know it could look drastically different. More telling is the fact that Piri Reis was a Muslim so you have to wonder if they did use the information thus changing the course of history. If they did not, again it was because they didn’t know what to do with the information it was beyond their mental capacity at the time.
In regards to Antarctica and North and South America, we know they were not explored. To start with Antarctica as we all know was under ice and he had a map depicting mountains Islands Rivers and more. As we said, we did not discover some of the topography until 1952. The discovery and use of echo sounding gear is what made this possible for us. Even if we had discovered these continents we as of that time had not yet explored Antarctica and North America.
Owing to the spherical shape of the planet, when you take a photo from high above, the continents away from the center appear to be elongated. Exactly as they appear in the Piri Reis maps, there is no doubt that wherever they came from, his maps were taken aerially. Who knew, I’m sure there are those that will say that God must have done it. Whoever would have Known God took pictures too.
Too many events were experienced by populations around the world, all of them inexplicable. All of them too far advanced technologically for the native population to have accomplished the task. Too many of the events are verified in all three of the great religions. We know they are true, but not in the context in which they have been presented to us.
Events, knowledge, experiences, things got around the world to fast and too often. This was at a point in our history when we are taught that there was no means to get the information from one corner of the world to the other. Piri’s knowledge had it gotten into the hands of anyone that knew what it was worth and what to do with it could have altered history as we know it?
What would you say if there was an ancient calendar found that gave the equinoxes, astronomical seasons, the positions of the moon for every hour, also the movement of the moon, even going so far as to take the rotation of the earth into account.
This calendar exists and was found in the dry mud at Tiahuanaco. This is a city whose ruins are so ancient that when Francisco Pizarro questioned the Incas in 1532 about the ruins they said they were so ancient no one has any memory of seeing them when they weren’t in ruins. This is a disquieting find because it gives irrefutable facts and proves that whoever produced, devised, and more importantly to me, used this calendar had a much higher culture than ours.
Another amazing discovery was the great idol. This single block of red sandstone is longer than 24 feet and weighs 20 tons. It was found in the old temple. The contradiction here is between the superb quality and precision of hundreds of symbols that cover the idol in contrast to the primitive techniques used in making the building that houses it.
The symbols were given a closely reasoned interpretation in the book, “The Great Idol of Tiahuanaco”, by H. S. Bellamy and P. Allan. They concluded that the symbols record an enormous body of astronomical knowledge and are based, as a matter of fact, on a round earth. They concluded that the record fits perfectly a theory published 5 years before the idol was even discovered.
This theory postulates that a satellite was captured by the earth. This does not mean that we physically captured a satellite that landed on the earth as you probably realize. But that it was pulled by the earth’s gravitational pull. As it was pulled towards the earth it slowed down the earths revolutions. The symbols on the idol exactly record the astronomical phenomena which back up this theory. This, at a time when the satellite was making 425 revolutions around the earth in a year of 288 days.
They were forced to conclude that the idol records the state of the heavens 27,000 years ago. The existence of such a sophisticated body of knowledge 27,000 years ago, demonstrated on both the idol and the calendar should be enough to make even the weak minded query. There is just too much information here that man supposedly didn’t figure out for thousands more years.
One of the great Archaeological wonders of South America is the monolithic gate of the sun. This too is at Tiahuanaco. It is a giant sculpture standing nearly 10 feet high and 16 ½ feet wide carved out of a single block. The weight of this one block is more than 10 tons. There are 48 square figures in 3 rows flanking a being who represents a flying God.
That is the reason I am mentioning it here. It once again, now at the other end of the earth, tells of a golden spaceship that came from the stars. In it came a woman whose name was Oryana. She came to fulfill the task of becoming the great mother of the earth. Oryana had only four fingers that were webbed; she gave birth to 70 children then returned to the stars. To back this up, we do in fact find rock drawings of beings with four fingers.
Let’s talk a bit about another Inca wonder at Sacsahuaman. There were fantastic defense works there. They were only a few feet from present day Cuzco. There are monolithic blocks weighing more than 100 tons. There are terrace walls more than 1,500 feet long and 54 feet wide. Believe it or not these feats are dwarfed by a quarried, finely worked, 20,000 ton stone block.
On the way back from the fortifications at Sacsahuaman in a crater on a mountainside just a few hundred yards away, the visitor comes across a monstrosity. It is a single stone block the size of a four story house. It has been exquisitely crafted in the most craftsmen like way. It has steps and ramps and is adorned with holes and spirals. There can be no way the Incas themselves crafted this. We must remember that we are 13000 feet up. There is no way mere men could have accomplished this feat.
To make it even more impossible for the Incas to have worked this, the entire block is standing on its head. Still yet, not 900 yards away from this sight are more rock vitrifications, (melting of stone at high temperatures). We are told that this is because of glaciers. Yeh, a glacier melted and went in six different directions over an area of 18,000 square yards, let’s get real. Why is it that these rock vitrifications show up in one form or the other at every single ancient God mystery?
These are items that have shown up virtually out of nowhere throughout ancient history .With incredible improvements inexplicably coming forth in technology and expertise. These have never been proven or adequately researched. Today we cannot reproduce some of these feats. To say God did it or the technology has been lost over time is no longer an adequate excuse. We have the technology now all we need is the collective desire to do the right thing.
I know it was suggested by Erich Von Daniken, but why don’t we test areas for radiation using special equipment, such as Tiahuanaco, Sacsahuaman, the Gobi desert, the legendary Sodom and Gomorrah area. I’m sure there are many others, or are we afraid of what we will find.
Cuneiform texts and tablets of Ur, (which, amongst all these other issues, I was able to find on line, so I know the information is available) are the oldest known books of mankind. They tell us without exception of Gods who rode in the heavens in ships. Even more disconcerting, is the story of Gods who came from the stars. They arrived possessing and displaying terrible weapons and then they just returned to space. I for one happen to believe these old books. I also believe in the true meanings in our Holy Scriptures. There can be nothing truer Just when are we going to be honest and face reality.
The subject of the Sumerians is quite questionable and interesting. However, we will talk about them only in regards to stars that they depicted in old tablets. The remarkable thing about these stars is that they were circled by planets. In Egypt and Iraq there were finds of cut crystal lenses that can only be made using cesium oxide. How did the Sumerians who lacked our ability to observe the heavens know that fixed stars had planets. The remarkable thing to me about these ancient peoples is that they seemingly just showed up out of nowhere. No source that I have referenced including the dictionary can even identify these people. No one can even say where they came from. Let alone the fact that they brought with them technologies that still cannot be explained let alone understood or believed.
It is too much for coincidence that throughout ancient history, culture kept cropping up with superior astronomical and building skills. This is too coincidental especially when they did not have any previous knowledge in these areas. In Lebanon there are glass like bits of rock called tektites, in which radioactive aluminum isotopes have been detected. Quite phenomenal to me was the discovery of electric dry batteries that work on the galvanic principle. They can be found at the Baghdad Museum. Let’s see them explain that one away.
There are many, many more unexplained impossibilities. Every one of them should make us curious and uneasy. We should be questioning what we have been fed for what appears to be misinformation for years. What I found disturbing was finding such things as the description of the Ark of the Covenant. In the Bible it was described as a truly wondrous thing that God gave meticulous instructions to have built. Only to say that when a man had touched it as God had told them not to do at all costs he would strike them dead, and did. This, and then to find out that if it was built today with the precise materials and methods listed in the Bible. What you have is an electrical conductor capable of discharging several hundred volts. This amongst many scriptures that we have pointed out is in reality much too technically advanced and wide spread to just shrug off or dismiss as coincidence.
These unexplained items and events have made at least me, uneasy for years. Now at this important juncture of time, is the time to answer any and all unanswered questions. Our future might count on it. There are structures that whose history we study and revere, and we know that they were impossible to be made even today. Disregarding this we teach what is knowingly to experts, wrong. We do this just to give the people a history to believe in, this is wrong. We have got to correct our past right now. We must do this before we try and proceed any longer in the wrong direction.
Let us take a little time to cover some true facts directly from the Old Testament; this is of course, scripture followed by Christians and Jews. Some of these quotes you may find quite unsettling. In Genesis 1:26 we learn that God said he was going to make man in his image after his image.
Genesis 6:1, 2 and it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men and they took them wives of all that they chose. Sounds like slavery to me. Genesis 6:4 there were giants in the earth in those days, and also after that when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bore children to them.
It’s small wonder that there were giants on the earth in those days. These Gods were said to be 18 feet tall. By the way, what are Gods sons doing taking earth women? I guess he never did say how he was going to make them in his image. I thought according to what we as Christians and Jews were taught, that there was only one God. We have some important questions and facts to work through. They have never been adequately delved into for many reasons and misguided excuses. At this important juncture in our lives as civilization it behooves us to find out the facts. We can then get the story of our past straight so we can move into the future in the right direction.
Let’s discuss the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Genesis: 1-28. I just finished reading this for the umpteenth time trying to put into context the movie on this subject. I’m sure most of us have seen it many times. Obviously Lot was looked on with favor. Genesis 19:1-28 tells us how Lot was urgently warned to take his wife and daughters and flee the city. He was told that under no condition are any of you to turn around or you will die.
They hastened him along as if they were on a schedule. They finally helped had to help him on his way. His wife turned around out of curiosity o course and was turned to a pillar of salt.
Personally I found Genesis 19:30-38 to be particularly disturbing. Lot, after escaping, went up into the mountains and slept in a cave with his two daughters. His daughters plied him with wine and then one at a time spent the night with him. They did this so they could preserve the seed of their father. The firstborn bore a son called Moab. Today he is known as the father of the Moabites. The younger also bore a son named Ben-mime. He grew up to become the father of the children of ammon unto this day. I find this disturbing because now it sounds like the Old Testament is advocating incest.
I wish scientists would test this area plus the sediment at the bottom of the Dead Sea. They should be checking for any signs of radioactive isotopes or radioactive traces in the sediment. It sounds to you once you read this epic that they were on a predetermined schedule. You come to this conclusion since they couldn’t look back for reasons of radiation fallout. I personally am not talking nuclear weapons. However, I am sure science could tell us exactly what was used. Is this another one of those ancient events where we don’t want to know the truth?
I was just reading Ezekiel and man, this does not sound like a forgiving understanding God to me. He obviously got joy in, and he bragged about, killing Jews. He did this while all along having no pity or mercy. He did this even while bringing famine to his people. Still in Ezekiel we read that those chariots of the Gods were even at the Garden of Eden. Now that really makes one suspicious of events, depicted at the Garden between Adam and Eve. Especially since, as it is depicted by the people it seems as though this event was supervised.
Still on the subject of Ezekiel we notice that there is a lot of talk in regards to these vehicles that God came down from heaven in. I thought he was God? He shouldn’t have needed a vehicle to travel around in. Witnesses then say behold, a whirlwind came out of the north a great cloud, and a fire unfolding itself, and brightness was about it, and out of the midst the color of amber and fire, came the likeness of 4 living creatures. What is this God didn’t travel alone? They had the likeness of a man and every one had four faces and four wings. Ezekiel gave precise details of the vehicle and its landing. I won’t go into too much detail; it is in the Bible if you want to read further. His description was astonishingly good. To our present way of thinking what he was describing was like one of our lunar vehicles used today.
I’m really looking forward to discussing the Arc of the Covenant. This really amazed me. In Exodus 25:40 Moses was given by God exact instructions for building the Ark of the Covenant. The instructions were given down to the smallest detail so no mistakes would be made. The directions were given to the very inch. How and where rings and staves were to be placed and from what alloy metals were to be made.
The instructions were meant to be followed out exactly as God wanted. He even warned Moses several times not to make any mistakes. He told Moses that no one should come close to the Ark of the Covenant. Even giving precise instructions as to the type of clothing that should be worn and the footwear that would be worn while transporting it. Then in Samuel 2, 6:2-7 David had the Arc of the Covenant moved and while moving it Uzzah accidentally grabbed it and fell dead on the spot as if struck by lightening.
Sounds like God struck him down because he did not follow his instructions implicitly. In reality, if we construct the Ark today using precisely the instructions handed down to Moses from God. What we would have is an electrical conductor capable of producing several hundred volts. Hmmmm, I know coincidence right?
Let’s talk a bit about Noah and the chain of events, the truth, it’s in the Bible somewhat, is extremely interesting. This event was recorded in the Lamech
Scrolls. The tradition says that one fine day Lamech, Noah’s son came home one day to find a boy that had an appearance that had no family resemblance.
He reproached his wife Bat enosh, and claimed that the child was not his. She swore by all that was Holy, that the seed was his and not from a soldier. She swore that it was not the seed of a stranger, or son of Heaven. Boy that son of heaven remark makes me wonder. I just don’t understand how we cannot question events such as these. I know it has always made me suspicious. We, who grew up to adhere to the Bible are a little stymied by all of the misinformation and purposeful mysticism. I believe it is time to set the records straight.
This event took place before the flood, and nevertheless Lamech did not believe his wife’s protests. Feeling very upset he went to his father Methuselah for advice. Methuselah listened to his story, reflected, and then went off to consult the wise Enoch. This was causing so much trouble the situation had to be cleared up. Methuselah described to Enoch how a boy had appeared in his son’s family who looked much more like a son of heaven than a man. His eyes, hair, skin, and whole being were unlike those of the rest of the family.
Enoch listened to Methuselah’s story. He then sent him on his way with the extremely worrying news that a great judgment would come upon the earth. He said that mankind and all that is made of flesh would be destroyed because it was sordid and dissolute. But the strange boy of whom the family had been suspicious had been chosen as the progenitor. H would be the direct Ancestor, in effect, the father of all living man. He would be the father for those of who would survive the great universal judgment.
Therefore Methuselah should order his son lamech to call the child Noah. Methuselah traveled home and told his son Lamech what was in store for them all. What could he do but recognize the child as his own and give him the name of Noah. The astonishing thing about this family story is the information that Noah’s parents were told about the coming flood.
Even the grandfather was forewarned of the terrible event. This was told by the same Enoch who would soon, according to tradition, disappear forever in a fiery chariot.
A lot of the stories we have been talking about are of multiple Gods and fiery chariots. Trust me there’s a lot more. How about the female God who came down from the heavens in a fiery chariot to be the mother of the human race? She then had 70 children and then immediately went back to the heavens. They have been about the Gods breeding if you will with humans. Doesn’t this make you think that the Human race is a result of deliberate breeding? Whether we like to think about it or not, let us face the reality of what our own historical Scriptures are telling us. Why else would we constantly have recurring fertilization of humans by giants and sons of heaven? These stories are not made up, fabricated, or exaggerated. They are directly taken out of the bible as exact quotes.
Let us start to talk and teach facts not controlled misinformation.
Meanwhile God seems to have exterminated those he did not want. This according to the Bible has occurred many times. Having this in mind, the flood which of course was preconceived, planned, prepared, and quite deliberate, can not be considered divine intervention. This was purposeful and deliberate mass annihilation. Particularly since again according to the Bible, Noah knew of the flood several hundred years in advance. This only makes one want to be able to test the land under the Antarctic for radio activity. This has to be the reasons for Piri Risi’s map of the Antarctic and the knowledge it was able to divulge. The purposeful melting of that ice would be enough water to satisfy the story in the Bible and that of Gilgamesh.
Around the turn of the20th century a heroic epic of great explosive power was discovered. It was engraved on 12 tablets and belonged to Assyrian King Ashibanipal. Later a second copy was found that belonged to King Hammerabi.
The first clay tablet says that the victorious hero Gilgamesh built the wall around Uruk. We read that the God of Heaven lived in a stately home which contained granaries and had guards on the town walls. We found out that Gilgamesh was a mixture of 2/3 God and 1/3 man. Pilgrims who came to see him stared up in fear and trembled. This was because they had never seen such beauty and strength. This is another historic fact of interbreeding between God and man.
The third tablet goes on to tell us again, about a cloud of dust which came from the heavens. It says the heavens roared, the earth quaked, and finally the sun god appeared. He then seized Enkidu who was created by the goddess of heaven, Aruru. We read incredulous that he lay like lead on Enkidu, and his weight felt like the weight of a boulder. How on earth could the writer of these tablets have known that the weight of a body becomes like lead at certain acceleration?
If you are interested you should get the details for all 12 tablets off the internet. Today everyone knows about the forces of gravity and acceleration. When at certain speeds an astronaut is pressed back into his seat by gravitational pull. On the seventh tablet is the first eyewitness account of a space trip, recounted by Enkidu.
He flew for hours held in the brazen talons of an eagle. He again recounts, he said to me look down at the land, what does it look like? Look at the sea, how does it seem to you? The land was like a mountain and the sea was like a lake. We then flew for four more hours and he again said to me. Look down at the land, what does it look like? Look at the sea, how does it seem to you? The earth was like a garden and the sea like a water channel. He flew for yet another four hours and again he spoke. Look at the land, what does it look like? Look at the sea, how does it seem to you? The land looked like porridge and the sea like a water trough.
This account is too accurate to have been the product of someone’s imagination. It had to be told by someone who had seen the earth from a great height. Who could have known that the land looked like porridge and the sea like a water trough if some conception of our round planet did not exist? The planet actually does look like a jigsaw puzzle of porridge and giant water troughs from space.
On the eighth tablet Enkidu who must have seen the earth from a great height died of a disease so mysterious that Gilgamesh asks whether he could have been smitten from the poisonous breath of a heavenly beast. But just where would he have gotten this idea in the first place. The ninth tablet describes how Gilgamesh mourning the death of his friend, decides to undertake a long journey to see the gods because he thinks he might die of the same disease as Enkidu.
The narration says that Gilgamesh came to two mountains that supported the heavens. It says that the two mountains also arched the gate of the sun. He was allowed to pass the gate of the sun as he himself was 2/3 God. When he reached the guard of the Gods the Gods tried in vain to warn him off. However, he paid them no heed. He wanted to reach Utnapishtim, the father of men. This whole thing blows me away personally because I’ve never heard of any of this.
Gilgamesh did find the father of men and he was neither bigger nor broader than him. Utnapushtim then told him about his past, strangely enough in the first person. We are given a detailed description of the great flood. He recounted how the Gods warned him of the great flood to come and gave him the task of building the boat, and how to stock it. The description of the violent storm, the darkness the rising waters, and the despair of the people he could not take with him has tremendous power still.
This account was even to include the raven and the dove that were released. It told how as the waters receded the boat sat stranded on the mountain. The fact that there was a great flood is beyond doubt. It is not questioned by a single scholar. The uncanny parallel between the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the flood in the Bible is just too much. The flood, history tells us did happen. However now we have the same story told by two different Gods. Whatever happened to the one God? This tells us that the stories in the Bible, at the very least those relating to the flood, are second hand. Gilgamesh came first, and this is not the first event.
We have to question such events. It appears as though we are personally confusing and twisting history. Once again this was done to fill our own needs and expectations. There are too many questions here. Someone must undertake the quest to answer them. You know, the idea that God needed a vehicle with wheels and interbred with women is just too much. All three of the great religions carry some parts of the Old Testament and believe and teach its contents. At this point someone must question the accuracy of these teachings. It behooves us to ensure that all teachings are factual.
Most of us today realize that all our problems in the world today are faith based. In light of what we are learning about civilizations incorrectly recorded past history you have to seriously ask your self why. As we said, no one person or religion has a direct line to God. No one religion is any better than another. The great established religions do not even allow you to attempt and invoke his image. For that matter to state his name since none of them even knows what he looks like.
We are once again facing the prospects of world war, and maybe even total destruction. Now we know for a fact we are preparing to do this over something no one even knows or can identify. We now have the ability to stand mans perceived knowledge on its head. We must do this for the good of everyone. We must set the record straight before we proceed down the wrong path of life and into the future.
The difference in religion or lack thereof only reflects the amount of information it takes to put your mind at ease with the world and our role in life. In light of what we are learning of our incorrect and incomplete recording of our ancient historical events one has to ask themselves if it is all worth it. Before we go any further on this road of life we have to start finding out the truth. I am personally finding out so many ancient recorded facts that I myself have never even heard of that it is very disconcerting. Listen to this.
Just when we thought we heard it all we find this out. The Eskimos of all people also mention flying Gods in there mythology. Their mythology says that the first tribes were brought to the North by gods with brazen wings. The oldest of the ancient American Indian stories tell of a thunderbird who introduced fire and fruit to them. The Mayan legend, Popul uh tells us the gods were able to recognize the universe. They knew the four points on a compass. They also knew the fact that the earth was round. How did any of these people know any of this information since it supposedly did not exist at that time? There is more.
The religious legends of the pre Inca peoples say that the stars were inhabited. They say the gods came down to them from the constellation Pleiades.
Constantly our ancient peoples, Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians and Egyptian, through their recollections and inscriptions, present the same story that gods came from the stars. They then went back to them .They say that they traveled through the heavens in fiery ships. They say that they possessed terrifying weapons. They also promised immortality to individual men.
Finding out that Piri Reis had maps of North and South America along with Antarctica the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea was at first very curious. You have to come to the obvious conclusion that he did not know what he possessed. If he did they could have drastically changed the course of history. Thankfully, he did not know what to do with the information.
So, just why did the Gods take aerial photos of these countries? Now after finding out that the American Indians, the Eskimo’s of Alaska, and various peoples of South America and the Middle East have all according to recorded article’s received visits from the stars. They received these visits from Gods in wondrous flying machines. They arrived bearing terrible weapon. It puts the entire subject into perspective. It would really be good to see some actual knowledge gained from all this. This all has to be looked at by someone the general public can believe and have faith in.
The ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata tells of weapons so terrible and powerful they killed the unborn in their mother’s womb. The Ramayana, an epic poem of ancient India is regarded as sacred text by Hindus. Once again we are told of flying machines that navigated at great heights with the aid of quicksilver and a great propulsive wind.
In the Samsaptakabadha they talked of flying and nonflying chariots. While in the first book of the Mahabharata an intimate history of the unmarried Kunti is told. She not only received a visit from the sun god, but she had a son by him. This son was supposed to be as radiant as the sun itself. As she was afraid of falling into disgrace she laid the child in a little basket and put it in the river. Adhirata, a worthy man of the Suta caste, fished basket and child out of the water and brought up the infant.
Yes this is another too familiar story. It is too much like Moses. This aside, we are yet again talking about gods breeding with humans, This time it is different Gods and different humans. We must start questioning this duplicity. We must at least somewhere along the line check out all these misconceptions as to where this story came from. We need to know what our true history really is. It is beholden of us and behooves us to find out the truth about our past. We have to do this before its misconceptions continue to allow us to go in the wrong direction and endanger needlessly our future.
In the Mahabharata the author recites his story, full of repulsion. He describes a weapon that can kill all warriors who wore metal on their bodies. If the warriors learned about the effect of this weapon in time, they tore off all the metal equipment they were wearing, jumped into a river. They washed themselves and everything they had come into contact with thoroughly. They did this for good reason as the author explains, because the weapon made the hair and nails fall out. He also recounted that every living thing became pale and weak.
In the eighth book is described something akin to an H-bomb. It says that Gurkha let loose a single projectile on the triple city from a mighty Vimana, (flying machine). The narrator describes it as white hot smoke a thousand times brighter than the. He recites that it rose up in infinite brilliance and reduced the city to ashes. Come on, we must admit that descriptions such as this are too detailed not to have been first hand accounts. They are too exact to what we know today. In this case it is too close to a description of the atom bomb. This has to make us want to recheck our history. There are just too many unanswered questions here for us to not want the facts known.
Let us recount this last story from the Mahabharata. It’s just too much and it’s bound to make even the most jaded, think. It was as if the elements had been unleashed. Scorched by the incandescent heat of the weapon it was as if the world reeled in fever. Elephants were set on fire by the heat. They ran to and fro in a frenzy to seek protection from the terrible violence. The water boiled. The animals died. The enemy was mowed down and the raging of the blaze made the trees collapse in rows as in a forest fire.
The elephants made a fearful trumpeting and fell down dead over a vast area. Horses and war chariots were burnt up. It say’s the whole scene looked like the aftermath of a great conflagration. Thousands of chariots were destroyed and then a great silence fell over the sea. Scarier to us still, the winds began to blow and the earth grew bright. It was a terrible sight to see.
The corpses of the fallen were mutilated by the terrible heat so they no longer looked like human beings. Never before had we seen such a ghastly weapon. Never before had we heard of such a weapon. The story goes on to say that those who escaped washed themselves, their equipment, and their arms. This was done because everything was polluted by the death dealing breath of the gods. Remember what Gilgamesh said about the poisonous breath of the heavenly beast?
I personally find all this information rather disquieting in light of what we have been passed down as ancient history. All of the texts quoted date from millennia before our era. The authors lived on different continents and belonged to different cultures and religions. There weren’t any special messengers and intercontinental journeys were not an every day occurrence if they happened at all. In spite of this, traditions telling almost the exact same stories come from the four corners of the world. They also come from innumerable sources. There is only one way information could have gone around the globe during a point in our history where there were no advanced communication methods. There was no way for men of the time to travel from one region to the next beyond the slow inadequate methods known to our history.
All these authors could not have been haunted by the same dream. It is impossible and incredible that the writers of the Mahabharata, The Bible, The Epic of Gilgamesh, the texts of the Eskimos, the American Indians, the Scandinavians, the Tibetans, and many, many other sources should all tell the same stories. These are the stories of flying gods, strange heavenly vehicles, and the frightful, horribly, destructive weapons possessed by the gods from heaven. The almost uniform recital of the experiences observed could only have been from first hand facts.
Let us now include the timeline of Religious changes as we know them. BCE will denote before Common Era, before the birth of Christ, and CE will denote, Common Era, or after the birth of Christ.
2000 B.C.E. – Belief in one God was started to help man in the new environment of Capitalism. This was way before the west was even thought of. This as we know was in response to changes to the people of Arabia and their needs, no one else’s.
1000 B.C.E. – Many Gods were worshipped, i.e. Marduk, Tiamat, Baal, Yahweh, Tamaz, Yam, Lotan, Rahab, as well as Goddesses, i.e. Ishtar, Anat, Isis, Yahweh felt forsaken and vowed revenge.
604 B.C.E. – The Jews were deported
to Babylon.
587 B.C.E. – With the help of Yahweh Jerusalem was conquered by the Babylonians. Yahweh repents for doing this and promises Savior to the Jews.
*Beginning of C.E., (Common Era) with the birth of Jesus Christ and Christianity.
- Rome’s Emperor Vespasian conquers Jerusalem, burns down the temple, and exiles the Jews once again.
*11th/12th Centuries – The Christian Crusades to recapture Jerusalem, many Jews and Muslims were massacred along the way.
*1901 – The discovery of oil in Iran – Rights of recovery were sold to the British. This as far as I am concerned, is the start of the problems we are experiencing today with the Islamists.
A personal God like Yahweh can be manipulated to shore up ones beleaguered emotions. When one conception of God has ceased to have meaning or relevance it has quietly been discarded and replaced with a new ideology. Each generation must choose the image of God that works for them. It is time that we realized, and settled on ours.
When we started researching this book, I was very disturbed to start hearing about all these different Gods that were believed in and prayed to. Like most of you I imagine, I was taught that there was a God and grew up believing that. I have read the Bible off and on over the years. In light of this it surprises me that for some reason these references to many different gods and goddesses have somehow gotten by me. Either that or because of the blinders you inevitably wear when you are looking at scripture through the eyes of any given religion. As a result you have a tendency to see things the way they portray them.
Reading now with a totally unbiased viewpoint the Old Testament, the Chariots of the Gods, along with a History of God in all Religions, it tends to put an awful lot into perspective. Primarily I came to this conclusion; we as a people are lost. I can’t even fathom how we can read in the Bible of so many different Gods. We are told their names right in the Bible. We learn of the fact that many of them have been believed. We also find that many have been worshipped over the years. They have been worshipped by both the Christians and the Jews. This while all the time we keep being told of one God. Somehow we don’t seem to question this as we rightly should.
Let alone the fact, this is in the Bible too, that they were flying around in what is obviously some kind of space ship. Hey were also breeding with earth women all over the world. There were also goddesses who bred with earthmen and then went back to the stars. I was really disgruntled to pick up the fact that Lot committed incest with both of his daughters. On top of that the Bible still calls earth the center of the universe when we know it isn’t.
We have learned that we must know our past. It’s got to be our true past. We must do this right now while we are trying to deal with the many problems in the world today. I believe that it will not only shed light on many unanswered questions. It will also aid in resolving the problems we are experiencing right now with the Islamists.
Since doing this and reading the Bible in conjunction with the Chariots of the Gods and the History of God. I can now I understand how the Bible can continually reference many Gods without batting an eye or feeling the necessity to explain. I for one believe there is much known that is being kept from us for one reason or the other. We have been visited from the heavens by many different Gods. His has happened at many different times, all over the world. That is why over the millennia man has had a choice of Gods to believe in. That is why the Gods were always killing off whole populations that didn’t agree with them.
Chapter 6
We as history buffs and certainly those of us that are Christians want to be precise but we tend to be overly sensitive sometimes. We like to think of the Christian Crusades as a noble Holy cause. We tend to believe it was fought for the furtherance and reinstitution of Christianity. Boy, I don’t know about you but in researching this did I ever learn how wrong I was. Also, we learned just how much we were like these Islamists Jihadists.
Bernard, A French monastic reformer, urged the crusaders to show their love for Christ by killing the infidels. Just as Usama Bin Laden is now urging Islamists to kill the infidels. He is even using the same excuses saying that their doing it to show their love for God and Islam. Bernard wanted the infidels driven from the Holy land. That of course is Jerusalem the birthplace of Christianity. Just as Bin Laden wants the infidels driven from what he considers Muslim Holy land all of it.
We must remember that it is unbridled subjectivity that fails to critically examine its prejudices. If this is allowed to take place it will lead to the worst excesses and abuse of any Religion. Bernard did with the Christians just as Bin Laden is doing with the Islamists. They use the emotionalism of love for their Religion to severely repress the intellect. They get followers to abandon the compassion for humanity. That is what is known as the hallmark of any Religion of God. You need intelligent subjectivity not severe emotionalism. We all know that cooler heads prevail.
The west, as the Mideast feels they are doing, were fighting their way back onto the international scene. They were trying to regain prominence. We have to remember that it was the crusades that marked a coming together of hard line Christians. This is also what marked the end of the dark ages. They were an aggressive and martial people. As a result they wanted a martial Religion. This is just as the Islamists have turned their Religion into a martial Religion.
During the Christian crusades the Christians were getting together in the first cooperative act of the west. As we said, this was a sure sign that Europe was recovering from the dark ages. They were an aggressive and warring people as the Muslims in general appear to be. The Christian Crusaders as the Islamists Jihadists are doing fought for the love of their leaders in the crusades. The same as the Islamists are fighting for their Jihadist leaders because it certainly isn’t for God or the Muslim people.
The Christian Crusaders original intention was to march to Jerusalem. They wanted to recapture Jerusalem for the Christians. However, during the long terrible march they decided that they would make it worth their while. They started killing every Jew and Muslim they came across. When they arrived in Jerusalem they did take the city. Also during the interim they fell on the Muslims and Jews with zeal. They massacred them with a brutality that shocked even their contemporaries. From here on in they looked at Muslims and Jews as enemies of God. There is such a parallel here between what is going on with the Islamist Jihadists and the Christian crusades that it is scary. This by no means justifies or diminishes what they are doing, but it does put it in context.
The Jews it seems were selectively chosen by God. They were thought to have the best lineage to keep around. He chose Noah and his lineage to be the best. He then set about saving his lineage and killing off all of what he considered as the undesirables. God, it seems, did decide that Jews were his chosen people. He has proven it more than once. Let’s just quickly read from the Bible Genesis 6:7-6:13. And the Lord said I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast and the creeping things and the fowls of the air for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. And Noah begat 3 sons, Shem, ham, and Japheth, and God looked upon the earth and behold it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
And God said unto Noah, the end of all flesh has come before me for the earth is filled with violence through them and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. At this point God felt that Noah’s lineage was what he wanted for humanity so he called for the great flood in order to kill off every human with the exception of that who he liked. He decided in one fell swoop that he would kill off the whole of humanity and start with a clean slate.
You know, the story of the flood plays an important role in the histories of Judaism and Christianity. But when you really stop and put it into context. It was a real selfish, egotistical thing to do. A God that would for his own desire and wants just kill everything. It really makes one think. Especially in light of what we have been reading. You have to wonder If it would be in our best interest to be looking forward to his 2nd coming or not? He clearly decided that it was the Jewish people that were his chosen ones. But only the ones that pleased him. Jews could certainly stand to be humane and just. Especially since theirs was a God that by his own word would always be there to help them as long as they were righteous and pleased him. But it seems to me that I would be nervous of him.
The only other incident that I myself am aware of where God was displeased with the way people conducted themselves and decided to kill them all off, was in the incident of Sodom and Gomorrah. God was displeased with these people because they weren’t righteous enough for him. He decided to save Lot and his family because he thought that they would keep the word of the Lord and justice. His angels ended up hastening Lot out of the area so they would be saved. He was given orders not to turn around or they too would be killed, as was the case with Lots wife. Once again whatever he used, it necessitated the death of every living thing. This must have been a truly terrible weapon.
Up to this point we have discussed the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faiths. We discussed the life cycle of a Religion. We also discussed what is really happening with the Muslim Religion today. The cycle as you look at our timeline, appears to be around 6 hundred years. While they are experiencing Religious growing pains, we and they, must remember that there is a great danger. We learned and are experiencing first hand an unbridled subjectivity which inevitably leads to the worse Religious abuses possible.
This happened during the Christian Crusades and this as we know is certainly happening with the Islamist Jihadists today. There will be no changing of their outlook or the way in which they conduct themselves. There will never be change in their Motus Operandi.
As we said, they are not doing this for Muhammad, Allah, or the Muslim people. They want all of what was once Muslim held land, back. It is very scary when you stop to think what they did to get it in the first place. We better be prepared for anything, in their trying to take it back. We certainly cannot expect any better only worse. They will never stop and will continue to do whatever they have to, including killing off the entire world, and just might in order to get what they want.
We are not going to succeed in Iraq, Afghanistan, or any where else for that matter. Not in the way that we would traditionally define, or pursue success. As we know, we cannot talk to these people, it’s worthless. Whatever it is that would appease them would be to some other countries detriment. If not to the entire world’s detriment, we just can’t allow this to happen. You know that regardless of anything at all this is true. They will never stop and never leave us alone. As we have discussed in the past, we have to educate the Muslim children. In hopes of getting them to realize what their adults are doing to the future of the world and humanity.
We talked about the two world wars being fought to prepare us for the future. They were fought valiantly both on and off the battlefield. All along they were just a prelude. A preparation for us to be able to handle mentally and physically, what we will be facing as a much worse and dire threat. Knowing what we are about to face, trust me, this is just starting. We are winning nothing that is why it hurts all the more when President Bush say’s we are winning the war. He repeatedly say’s that we are better off than before 9/11. These politicians have to stop playing games with our future with their childish mind and word games. This is not a joke.
It is for us to stop meddling in the affairs of Muslim countries. Even as these words were coming out of my mind, I was thinking, no way. The Islamists will not stop until they kill off the leaders of their own countries. They will not stop until they get exactly what they want. We must realize if they were to get what they wanted. It would only just be beginning there. They would then just turn on their fellow Muslims. Until the sect or tribe they belong to was dominant and were in total control. If that happened they would then start on each other. As we know, there is no appeasing or pleasing them, so what?
We must realize to a person, that there is no pleasing or appeasing these people. Things would be right back where they were with Mullah Omar running Afghanistan. Look at the tribal areas of Pakistan. Just remember what Saudi Arabia was like 4000 years ago. This is a terrible place they want to turn back to. We discussed how they want to go back to their roots. We know they want to be as great as they once were, back to the way they were. We also know that that has nothing at all to do with pure Muslimism.
Remember that Saudi Arabia even in Muhammad’s day was an arid desert. It was incapable of supporting its people. As a result they found it necessary to live as nomadic tribesmen to try and eke out a living. When Muhammad moved to Mecca his people resorted to robbery and plunder. They found it necessary as a way of survival. This is what they want. If you haven’t noticed, they do not want the conveniences of civilization. They are more comfortable living on, and off, the ground. They do not need our modern conveniences. Nor do as many as we think, want all the conveniences of modern life we are supposedly fighting to give them. We have to realize Muslims As a whole don’t really want this, we do. They will take whatever it is we give them to make their life better and then kill us.
It is becoming increasingly clear that we cannot talk sense with at least the Islamists. We certainly cannot rely on their being honest. It’s looking like the only answer, is not to put them in internment camps. The safe bet seems to be to banish them to their current Muslim countries. From there we can safely monitor, and keep an eye on them. Muslim Nationals of any country with loyalty to that country and their fellow citizens would have the option of staying in that country. Whether we like it or not we are going to have to monitor them. At least those Muslims from other countries must be monitored for our own good. We just can’t rely on them as they have proven.
We have got to be able to figure something out to the benefit of the entire world. The current situation cannot be left as it is. It will only continue to get worse. At this point in time the world can’t afford to be where we are headed. Nor can we afford to be where the Islamists want to see us. Remember, there will never be peace with these people. They can’t even tolerate each other. We have got to change course and look into other directions and alternatives.
Whatever happened to Religious tolerance as believed in and taught by Mohammad, and is taught in the Koran? In the best of times, any one of the various tribes and sects seem to be looking to kill the other. Look at Muslim history as far back as you can get. You can look at Muslim countries all over the world. You can only come to the conclusion that there is no way you will ever be able to contain these people. We will never teach them to live under a Democracy.
There are only a minority of Muslims who want this. Most of them do not even feel that it would be right for them as a people. They have no desire for or any history of democracy. Nor do they have any history of tolerating what they would consider a rival tribe. Even though they are all the same religion they despise each other. So it’s beyond me what makes us think that we can force them to live under a democracy. We have to remember this regardless of a few people that do want it. We must remember that they are a severe minority and we should not be interfering in this manner. We have to learn some well placed restraint.
Before we went into Afghanistan we knew what the pitfalls were. We knew there was a never ending supply of volunteers. Knowing this it is understandable that we did go in. Especially in light of what necessitated us going in the first place but Iraq. Before we even went into Iraq we heard all the potential problems that might ensue, after the fall of Saddam.
We knew there was a potential of inflaming the whole of Islam. We knew of the possibility of unsettling the region politically. We knew of the possibility of leaving a vacuum that many would be only too happy to fill. We knew of the possibility of outside Islamists pouring in to join in the fight. We knew of the possibility of Iran and Syria trying to influence events, at the very least, in Iraq. We knew too, of the very real possibility of a civil war at the least, between the Shiites and the Sunnis.
We knew all this and more. Despite this to our Presidents discredit he chose to ignore all this and do what he wanted. Any one of the perceived potential problems that would ensue after an attack would have caused a thinking man to give a lot of thought towards an alternative plan. Indeed a thinking person would have chosen an alternate course. However we know that is not the case with this President.
As we talked about, all the council in the world regardless of how good or bad, is worthless if you choose to ignore it. Instead of listening to good advice he chose instead to listen to biased expatriates. They had an interest in seeing us unseat Saddam. He knew what he wanted to hear and nothing else mattered. Tell him what he wanted to hear and he was on your side. As a result of this we let ourselves be used once again.
Now much to the chagrin of those of us who have had to sit by and watch all this unfold it is all coming true. All our fears and concerns, and then some due to poor planning have once again become a reality. We know he keeps saying that we are winning it.
However here again we are not going to win this in the way we normally consider a win. We must be willing and able to alter our conventional way of wanting to attack a situation. We have got to work out what will doubtlessly be creative and enlightened alternatives. We have to do this in order to solve a very complex problem. We cannot afford to sweep this under the rug in any way. We must deal with this to a satisfactory conclusion. This is for the entire world. We must see this thru successfully now, ASAP.
You know all along the Islamists have stated that they wanted us out of their countries. Due to our western concept of right and wrong we sometimes leap before we look. Of course we want to help and do the right thing. We just don’t seem to get it. Even if we feel for humanitarian reasons that we must go there to help civilians, they don’t want us there. I do believe, even though we don’t like it, that it is their call. We must stay out unless of course we are talking genocide. Even then we can see that to them, we don’t matter. Boy that was a great success we had in the Balkans huh. Look, they don’t want us around. Often it is simply to enable them to kill off what they consider rival tribes. This is the case in many countries, especially in Africa.
What it seems we have to do is get all biological, chemical, and nuclear, weapons of every sort away from them. We then have to keep them in their own countries. This way they can only do harm to each other. Even in this situation we would end up intervening. That is because as we have said before you will never change their mindset. They would start killing each other. There is almost no helping them. We really have to do some serious fast thinking.
Just think about the repercussions of this one, and as you all know, it is a very real possibility. What would we ever do if they overthrew a Muslim Government that possessed Nuclear or other lethal weapons? We know that it is one of their goals. What if they were then able to martial enough support and help to hold it, what then? If we were to attack them and as a result, killing civilians, and fellow Muslims, it would absolutely be world war three.
Speaking of this I am very suspicious of the Iranian’s. Particularly the deal they just made with the west to stop them from enriching Uranium. We had to attempt to stop them from acquiring Nuclear Weapons. Sadly enough we can be guaranteed that they will at least attempt to deceive us, if not to do so successfully. They will not stop or even slow their quest to attain Nuclear Weapons. You can be guaranteed that Nuclear Waste or the actual weapons will mysteriously show up in the hands of the Islamists.
Iran as we can be sure of wants to see the United States destroyed at any cost. We can be sure that is their ultimate goal. The scary thought is that it is beginning to seem like at least Iran would be happy at their own demise. I’m starting to think that they would be happy just as long as they can destroy us. How ever the Islamists manage to get their hands on nuclear waste or the actual materials you can be sure it will be the infamous no one that seems to wonder around American Society.
There are so many fiascos getting ready to explode all over the world. As a result we will whether we like it or not need more resources. We will find it necessary to implement the draft once again. In our quest to handle all the problems the Presidents missteps have required this sooner than later. President Bush saying there will be no draft has set himself up to match his father’s famous statement. You know which one read my lips, no new taxes, and he will. Mark my words; there will be a reimplementation of the draft. This is not going to be short. It will not be easy. However we will prevail. We will need a larger military because this is just starting. We can be sure we will be spread a lot farer. The good people of the world have to be relentless. We must be as relentless in our fight to live peacefully. We must be as relentless as the Islamists are to have their lands, all of them, back, and us out of them.
The Islamists will not stop or tire. We in turn will do the same, and persevere. As we just stated, the powers to be are fond of saying that we are winning this so called war on terrorism that is really a war on Islamist Jihadists. They are fond of saying we are a lot safer today. They continuously say we are a lot safer today specifically because we did attack Iraq. Honest to God, I just do not see it, and it is way off base. They will find out the hard way that this war is just in its infantile stages.
Attacking Iraq when we did and how we did is only one of the many inexcusable colossal missteps that this President has made. Thanks to the shortsightedness of half of America this guy is only half way done with his inept destruction of the American system. We can be sure that it is better to fight the insurgents in Iraq. However it would have been a lot smarter if we were fighting them in Afghanistan as we were. We did not have open up a second front since you can be sure another front will open up. We will be implementing the draft again. You can thank President Bush and his lack of insight and common sense for speeding up the necessity.
The seeds were planted years ago, but this war is just starting. It is too much too early to even be wondering who is winning or losing. We just have to buckle up and be ready for anything and everything. This, without a doubt, is going to be the worse thing that this country specifically, has ever had to confront.
We have generation after generation of hate towards the west taught to Muslim youth of many generations. We will not change this over night. We probably never will as it is engrained so deep. All this with the Islamists, and this is just a small part of the problematic reality we are really facing.
I, like you, have no idea who is going to win the presidential election in November. I don’t care who wins. I just expect honesty and the right thing done. Personally I believe I just haven’t seen it this time around. Whoever wins I hope he knows how to conduct himself. If it is President Bush we can only hope he has learned a little humility. A little honesty and consideration wouldn’t hurt either. Remember, it’s not what you say it’s how you say it. I’m sorry to say that the election is over. Once again President Bush managed to mislead enough people to get reelected. Worse yet he seems to have learned nothing from his first term. Even worse he wrongly thinks he has a mandate to continue to mislead the country.
I just have to intervene for a minute here and talk about something we all caught on TV last night. What we heard was Bin Laden finally telling the truth about the Islamists. He told us why they are doing what they are. He also told us how we can prevent any further action in the future. Last year we were saying in book 1 that the Islamists are not telling us the truth. We weren’t hearing the truth as to the reasons they were causing the problems they are creating for the world. We in turn were not being honest as to what we were doing as a country. Nor were we being honest as to what we were really up against.
Last night Bin Laden at least told the country the real reason him and his followers were causing world mayhem. He told us what it would take for the U.S. to get the Islamists off our backs after this election. I will guarantee you that both political parties got a different message out of his statement. You can be sure neither one of them were right. Bin Laden is not pushing for or recommending us to elect one party or the other. You can be sure the parties are going to see this as attempted intervention. Particularly the Republicans saying that Bin Laden is telling the American people to get him out of office or else.
You have to hope that even as the experts are discounting what he had to say. However, in reality they were not. Behind the scene someone should be smart enough to see what we can do. Instead of our traditional response which just seems to be to fight. Of course we will do that however that is not the total answer this time or any time
In actuality this is what he is saying. However not for the reasons the Republicans will play up.
You can be sure they will totally blow off what he really said. Primarily because they just don’t get it. They do not know how to put the countries welfare before the party’s interests. They certainly do not realize the repercussions of their games and ignorance. From the outset we said that the Islamists goal was not to pay us back for the Palestinian fiasco. We said that their goal was to recapture all their lands. They wanted us stop interfering with Muslims. They expect zero interference with their countries. Despite the fact that it may be anything good or bad that affects them as people or their countries.
George Bush has shown in his proven misunderstanding and misreading of the situation that he either doesn’t get it or doesn’t care. He is not capable of understanding, comprehending, or handling professionally any given situation. He doesn’t have any comprehension of what to do. He doesn’t know how to do it. He doesn’t seem to realize that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. Often it is better to say nothing and leave them thinking. This President can’t seem to control his often wise mouth. It is not needed appreciated, or helpful.
After all if it is just a laugh you are after go to the comedy club. It seems to always be what Cheney and Bush are both after. If so then they should spend more time on the comedy circuit. It has been shown that Cheney and Bush do know how to play to the minds of the American people. With this in mind it is time to stop playing games. They can at least make believe they will do the right thing for the country.
Both men have shown that no matter how well intentioned or accurate a statement that Senator Kerry makes on the situation with the terrorists that they are going to play stupid, ignorant, irrelevant games that play well with the public. However they are totally irresponsible and childish. On top of that they have absolutely nothing to do with the truth. At some point we have got to start doing the right thing for the Muslims, the country, and the world.
We are not going to be able to do it with President Bush’s leadership. He just doesn’t seem to have what it takes to comprehend the situation. He also seems to enjoy playing childish games at the expense of the country and ultimately the world. He continues to do this at a time that is very deadly for the world and the United States.
Bin Laden has finally announced that he wants us out of all their lands as we knew. However this is something for some reason we don’t seem to be able to understand or give them. We continuously seem to intervene in the activities of Muslim countries. Sometimes as we discussed, the Muslims give us no alternative but to intervene. As we have had to do in Africa in order to stop genocide. From what we can see this seems to be the goal of certain Muslim tribes. They like the rest of the world are experiencing an increased feeling of Nationalism. The problem is that they are experiencing this to the detriment of others. It is to the detriment of every country now in possession of the lands they call theirs and want back.
Our hands were tied and as a result we did not have a choice about going into Afghanistan. This is something the Islamists don’t seem to be able to understand. They want to be free to rewrite country boundaries and ethnicity. We already made that mistake. Two wrongs don’t make it right. It only makes two wrongs and we have to set this right. This is happening at a time in the life of the world when those methods and actions can no longer be tolerated. They also can not be accepted, or condone. That part of the world’s history is over. The planet as we know only works in one direction, forward.
We have got to get all parties to understand what real consequences of a world response are. So there would be no question as to action or inaction based on the actions of the Islamists. As you know, Kofi Annan expressed curiosity as to why many of today’s conflicts are often within a countries own borders. This, of course is happening more and more and there is no big surprise as to why. The Islamists have taken it upon themselves to cleanse their country of any beliefs other than theirs. Only people from the tribe they feel should be in power. Once again they wrongly expect us to sit back. While they do what ever they think is right. No matter how detrimental it is to anyone else.
Bin laden has come right out and told the people and the politicians that they don’t care who gets elected. They just want some one that is going to stay out of the business of the Muslims. This as we know cannot happen. Not for no other reason than we can’t expect them to use discretion or common sense when dealing with their societies as a whole. They do not care about fairness or democracy only winning.
That is all their entire life and history is about. Furthering the cause of their own clan or tribe is all that matters. Nothing and no one else matters. The Muslims are asking us to do the very thing that put them in this position in the first place. We are facing the repercussions of our actions on the world and its people. We can not allow this to happen again regardless of the reason. It is too late in the lifecycle of the planet it cannot absorb a world war with the weapons of today.
This is not the 18th century this is the 21st century. We must as a world whether we like it or not, act accordingly. We have learned a few things from our mistakes. We know we still have a lot to learn and we will. We know that it is wrong to take what belongs to another. We know we shouldn’t kill for any reason. So there is no way we can condone what the Islamists want to do or to look the other way. We know for a fact that once they have the time, they will start turning on each other. As they have done on numerous occasions.
Let us put the Iraqi Palestinian issue into proper perspective real quick. Saadam admitted that he was giving money to survivors of Palestinian suicide bombers. Supposedly he was doing this to help his Arab brothers. Al Quaeda and Al Zarquawi have both used this false excuse in order to rally support. Money seems to be an issue now for both the Iraqi’s and Al Quaeda. All of a sudden they do not seem interested in helping their Christian brothers as they were saying. Once again they are going against their Arab family and their religion. They are proving this by now destroying their “brother’s” churches.
We must find a way to work all this out and I am, convinced that we can do this. But without the radical voice of the Islamists because. They have proven to be liars. They have proven that they do not have the best interest of Allah, Muhammad, or the Muslim and Arab people in mind. Their only incentive seems to be their own selfish interest. We can give the Islamists what they want to a certain degree. But we can’t do it to our own detriment or to that of the remainder of the world. We know Iran’s intentions are not honorable. We know we can’t expect the Islamists to treat people other than their own tribe respectfully. Islam can’t come first life must, and we must take all steps accordingly. So the Islamists have in essence created built in problems. With that in mind they must realize this. They also have to be made, maybe by their own people, to realize just what is at stake here. They must turn down their demands and expectations.
We have a lot of political fences to mend. I think by now that we have managed to step on the toes of every country in the world. This, without a doubt, is most often deserved. In the case of countries like Iran, North Korea, and China, they could stand a lot more of it. What this Administration doesn’t get is when to use the carrot and when to use the stick. Again a reminder, it’s not what you say it’s how you say it. What President Bush doesn’t understand is that his mouth is often the stick. This is primarily because of his attitude and at a very inopportune time. He has to learn and probably must be taught, how to have and use a little bit of discretion before he destroys us. He has missed out on some important life lessons as a youth, like how to act.
We have a long, difficult, hard job, ahead of us. A lot of our allies are going to need our help. Should we help them or should we allow them to fall at the hands of the Islamists. Just as they have tried to do with us in Iraq in many instances. We are going to have some terrible decisions to make. I am sure there are still a lot of sights with weapons of mass destruction still unguarded in many ex soviet block countries. We are very liable to end up facing these if terrorist get their hands on them. We have an awful long, long way to go before we are safer. Like you, I can only pray that our leaders recognize this. However I don’t believe they do. They’re usually a little behind things.
Look at the problems facing us in the world today. On top of all that, we have got to start mending our own ills right here and they’re enormous. Where do we start? These problems are not just in this country. It appears that every country in the entire world must for their own future regain their collective morality. The performance we saw with the U.N. in Iraq involving the oil for food program was terrible. It represents a new and dangerous low for the moral backbone of the world. It is starting to look like we don’t have one. As a world, we have some serious ethical problems. We have got to get to work on ourselves. So we can adequately and honestly deal with the problems in front of and ahead of us.
Chapter

Life’s
Realities and Nostradamus
These problems are just in trying to survive day by day. They are all relating to lying, immorality, and corruptive ineptitude. Since I’ve been dealing with this little problem called MS I have found out the hard way that there is no safety net. Despite what you are told to the contrary, there is no safety net. If you don’t in one capacity or the other, know someone that will help you, you are in trouble.
Finding this out the hard way I am looking for a way to help the down and out disenfranchised, friendless of this society. There are an awful lot of us out there. People prey on the weak and vulnerable. If you truly are in need you are in trouble. These people on this level of society need help. I have decided that once I am out of this mess, I will find some way to be an advocate to those that are alone and truly in need.
I have found out the hard way that if people see, or hear, that you have a problem then they immediately set out to see how they can exploit it. They use it to their advantage, sensing only a weakness, an in for them. This is terrible but true. It’s made all the worse every time you turn on the TV and hear the President say, “When you see a neighbor in need help them out”, yeah right not in Massachusetts.
I had a little bump, not even a fender bender. In the snow, I slid down a hill bumped the vehicle in front of me. The air bags went off and went through the windshield. That was the extent of the damage. Right off the bat it started off bad. When the young cop had an attitude problem and tried to pick a fight with me. Then I went down to the local auto body. Where they said they had no paperwork so they needed mine, okay.
We’ll make a long story short. They took my $500 deductible and the $3200 in insurance. Then they ripped out my entire dashboard, and I do mean ripped. They then spent $300 at the junkyard.
Thanks to mutual proven lies by both the insurance co. and the new auto body that was doing whatever the Insurance Company told him to do. They ripped me off and got away with it I’m still living with the mess. No thanks to Help Me Hank, I will never see justice. To add insult to injury, this company today is advertising as to how honest and wonderful they are. I’m finding out that ripping people off is what they are all about. I wish I heard some of these horror stories before, this is not right.
The housing development I live in is managed by my shining example of low level, city Government corruptive ineptitude. This person lied to me and I can not stand liars. He believed my ex who has been taking him for years. He then proceeded to tell me after the fact that I now owe him $700. All the while only caring about what she said. Never mind that I have knowingly let them off the hook for 7 years. If he did both ends of the computation he would owe me a conservative $8000. Where is the justice, concern, common sense, and consideration. People on this level are in trouble.
This person consistently messes over some very righteous people. I have personally seen him ruin the lives of some real good people. He seems to enjoy it. Something is wrong here. Meanwhile those that lie to him get away with murder. Somebody has to have some values, and good sense. I’ll be okay because I’ve kept my lawyer informed of her activities since day one. Oh well here we go. Now he’s going after me and I can’t believe this. Oh well I’ll keep you in touch. What does bother me is about the way these people are treated.
I don’t understand how every time these poor people get a raise the city is right there to raise their rent. How on earth are they ever supposed to save any money, let alone enough to get them out of there? There should be a rent ceiling or something to help these people. Maybe raise their rent but set the raise aside to help them better themselves. I thought that’s what it was all about? Isn’t the idea to help these people? Isn’t the idea to help them back on their feet if necessary? This guy’s typical response is he doesn’t care. You don’t tell people you don’t care when your supposed to be in the business of caring. People lie too much you just don’t know who or what to believe.
I just don’t get it. You expect people to be honest and people should expect you to be honest. The result is that when you are honest, people mess you over. As we said, honesty today is absolutely worthless. I just want to give you a quick update on my problem with public housing. As of this moment I am waiting for this person to take me to court. I am hoping the Judge will hold him accountable for all this ignorance and make him do his job right. I had a retired teacher I know who was concerned at what this guy was doing to me and others. She talked to the Magistrate who was equally concerned and asked her to tell this guy to drop it because he was just going to throw it out. Of course this person said he didn’t care so here we go. I will keep you posted.
This is another sobering lesson too many of you of both sexes can relate to. I used to let my ex hit me because she said it made her feel good. Once when we were estranged she was punching and kicking me in front of the kids. All I did was stop her and she called the cops and said I was hitting her. So of course she lied again and the cops gave her a restraining order. It is this lying and misuse of the system that causes people to take matters into their own hands out of frustration.
When we went to court she then lied to the judge who did catch her, and that was only the first time. You have to laugh. Someone is going to be ridiculous enough to believe a person like this? The sad part is that it happens all day every day. The immorality, (lying) seems to be pretty much universal. What is funny to me is that based on her lies which are obviously what this guy wants to hear. He is pushing to face the same court that caught her lying twice already and this guy just does not care.
You experience the immorality almost every single time you try to conduct business and have to rely on someone’s honesty. This is terrible, as in the insurance manager they demand honesty but to protect their own losses. They will not reciprocate in kind. Ironically they find it necessary to lie in order to be competitive. I find all this deceit and dishonesty very troubling. As I’m sure the rest of you do. The sad part is, in light of the situation in this country it is almost understandable but still not acceptable.
The situation in this country and the world has become so tenuous, so competitive. Simply to survive and hold onto what you have. That many people as a matter of daily living have found it necessary to be less than honest. They do this not only in their business dealings but in daily life as well. We know that when people are in need, morality goes out the window.
This lack of morality makes it very difficult and anxieties unnecessarily high when trying to conduct business. Regardless of what it is and trust the people you are dealing with. This is especially tough when they know you don’t have the financial means to hold them accountable. You would think the normal response when dealing with someone less fortunate would be one of sympathy and to help them. However I have found the case to be the exact opposite.
People seem to automatically look at you as a target of opportunity. It’s terrible to say, but true. I’m sure that too many of you have experienced this one too. I was forced to get a lawyer and I didn’t have any money. So I was forced to get a loan. He guaranteed me that he knew what he was doing. He also guaranteed me that he could help me. Of course he killed the case and the company got away with ripping me off as he also did. He was prohibited from practicing law for a while, but that doesn’t help you any.
I am only telling you these things to show you that you are not alone.
We also want to illustrate how unsafe an environment this is. All this is without the ever present fear of terrorism. We are safer, by whose standard? I also lost $30,000 in a misrepresented business venture. Here too they got away with it. The person that did it was forced to leave the business, but what do you care? It doesn’t get your money back. Every time I give someone the benefit of the doubt I get taken.
As too many of you can also attest to, this sadly enough includes your own family. You just can’t expect people to do the right thing. We can all see how hard it is to conduct life peacefully and with low anxiety. We are trying to conduct life under these trying conditions in this country and the world today. Why do we need the so called terrorists? We have enough trouble without them to deal with. I for one would like to see these politicians who supposedly want to help us grow up. Make believe they are responsible adults. Stop playing their childish games with themselves and us. Start to take care of the real problems in this country and the world.
We have discussed the overwhelming problems in the media, legal system, and political system. As I’m sure you all know and we have been discussing, that is just the tip of the iceberg. As we have said in regards to politics, it appears to be the same way in every aspect of life today. You seem to need an independent council for absolutely everything you do today. You just can’t trust anyone.
It is very detrimental to your mental well being to not be able to trust anyone. Every day you have to be wary of someone trying to scam you in one way or the other. Then you go into the store and you’re faced with a myriad of new inequities. This is most obvious to you by looking at the magazines, (the media). They are trying to get you to buy all kinds of ridiculous things whether you need them or not. Well I don’t know? The people who sell the sweets, candy, etc. that is so strategically placed at the end of every isle are just as guilty. Gee! Why do you think we have an obesity problem in this country?
Then you go home and turn on the TV and it only gets worse. We haven’t even turned on the news yet. Just listen to the commercials. If you don’t have any problems they, (the media), will work on you to make you wonder or think you do. It’s horrible; I started to count all the commercials that were health problem related, and I couldn’t believe it. The vast majority depending on the time of day are health related. They are messing you up.
I was awake late last night flipping through the channels. It really is amazingly sobering to hear all these commercials about physical or mental ailments. Many of these commercials have no place on public TV. Do you suffer from vaginal leakage? Do you have a problem being gassy? Do you have malfunctioning bowel syndrome? Do you have a problem achieving an erection? What is even worse is that we can go on and on.
This is totally out of line and unnecessary. If their goal was really just to access and educate the public. All the company’s would have to do is to state their business on the commercial. They would then direct you to the internet. If you want further information the computer is the place to get it. Just punch in your health question. If a company advertises there, they will pop up as your cure. It is not necessary to demean the entire public. That way it would neaten up the airways. It would keep all those who are fine from having mental problems. It would also give companies direct access to their target audience.
Honestly this is terrible, this constant bombardment of negative commercials. We understand that some people need to know. We understand that TV stations must run advertisement to pay the bills. We understand that business’s themselves must earn as much money as possible. Why can’t a company run a commercial simply stating their business? If you have that specific need you can access the internet and inquire about it. This would satisfy the needs of all involved and then some.
In this instance we can have our cake and eat it too. There is no need to turn everyone into a mental basket case. Not unless you are purposely doing this at the expense of the countries well being just to sell more drugs. They, (the media), must know the ill effect they are having on society as a whole. We are sick of hearing as an excuse that if you don’t like it you can turn the channel. I think even they might be smart enough to know that whether you turn the channel or not you have already heard enough. That is just their copout enabling them to argue stupidly.
Newscasters, mental health professionals, they all like to blame. They all blame the Nations mental health problems on the fact of 9/11. They say that as a result millions of people are taking anti depression medicine. In reality they don’t know why this is or don’t want to admit that they the media are the biggest problem facing our society today. Of course they would irresponsibly laugh this off. Regardless of what they say they are part of the problem not the cure. There is nothing funny about what they are doing to the American people.
As we have discussed in the past, we are facing a terrible but not insurmountable problem in what is happening in the Muslim Religion. At this point in time believe it or not terrorism as severe as it is isn’t the biggest problem facing our Democracy today.
We ourselves are our biggest worry and concern. The previously mentioned problems coupled with legal, business, and political improprieties, are overwhelming. There does not seem to be a safe haven in the entire country that you can turn to or depend on.
The media, regardless of the medium are relentless, immorally so, beating into the ground any and every story that comes down the pike. They repeat the sorry excuse that people want to hear it, that they want to know, bull, not the general public. If there is someone who wants to continue to be brow beat, let them go on line and gat their misinformation there. The general public does not need it nor do they want it.
This is not in our best interest it is in the media’s best interest. Just thinking for a minute about the news channels that broadcast news 24 hours a day, seven days per week whether they have anything newsworthy or not. I, as many of you I’m sure, think in concept at least, that it is a great idea. What is wrong with it is the way these news channels choose to fill up their day. The problem is with the hierarchy, those that don’t necessarily dictate what is to be aired but do fail to ensure responsible actions on the part of their news staff.
Let’s face it, no one wants to sit and watch you beat a dead horse as they are doing with the swift boat question. News media, I have news for you, it isn’t news, stop playing games. It is only continued because it serves the media’s purpose not to let it go, all it does is drive the rest of us crazy, we don’t care.
These problems have to do, I believe, primarily with fox25. They carry on a great high energy conversation or debate with what are supposed to be experts and not a one of them generally ever hit on the real issue, problem, or answer. I became a devoted fan of fox25 as a result of their coverage of 9/11, but since June I can no longer bring myself to watch it.
They became the number one news station and like spoiled little kids misused their position of privilege. They couldn’t handle the responsibility of acting maturely and I’m sure that as in my case, are eating through the goodwill they had built up. With me it started with Cavutto and his stupid book, he was absolutely irresponsible and sickening. As a direct result of listening to fox25 and hearing nothing but mis-information I found it necessary to also write a book coming from we the people because the truth was never, never told, most people just don’t seem to get it, but I found that many of your viewers that you choose to laugh at, do get it. Neil is the one that made me so embarrassed for writing a book that I could not bring myself to put my name on it.
Then I heard someone refer to CNN as the communist news network, how childish, come on grow up. They stupidly and ignorantly argue back and forth, yelling over each other and you can’t understand a single thing, it is just wasting the people’s time, and they probably have the wrong take on whatever it is they are arguing about anyway, with that in mind, maybe that’s why they don’t want you to understand what it is they’re saying. Sean Hannity is the name that comes to mind when you think about the most worthless, useless, ignorant, pompous Bill Oreilley wannabe.
Bill Oreilley who you have to respect for his good intentions is also not immune to arrogant misbehavior. He does seem to lapse into it ever increasingly. I did catch Bill a few times in his interview with Michael Moore and their one on one debate. Michael Moore I must say, I whole heartedly disagree with. However in this case he did make Bill look bad, he got the best of him. I have caught a few of Bills one on ones and my advice to him as a completely impartial observer would be to stay out of one on one debates.
You are not the attack dog you think you are. You are certainly no good at conducting those one on one debates. You are too biased, as most of the interviewers there are, to be effective. I know that I made the above comments about 6 months ago. Since then Bill has at some problems that I personally want to say I’m sorry to hear. I have to say that I am sure that now these newscasters etc. will start checking their attitudes at the door.
You as the interviewer are required to be unbiased in order to be effective. Regardless of what they say at fox25 they just aren’t. As we know it is often not what you say, it’s how you say it. At the end of my watching fox25 I happened to catch Jefford Smith in an interview that I found most pleasing because it showed me I was right. I happen to think Jefford Smith just might be their best interviewer. He was interviewing another newscaster.
I believe his name was Frank and he just happened to be right on. He said that you have got to keep political commentary out of your discussions In order to be effective and unbiased. Jefford made a statement that was dripping with bias and political commentary. This gentleman pointed it out. At first Jefford denied it. He then reluctantly admitted it. So you see most people at fox25 can’t refrain from political commentary. However in order to be effective you must.
I am researching Nostradamus who I want to close out this conversation with and I’m surprised to find how in depth and all encompassing his predictions of the future were. We won’t be discussing what all the theorists think he may or may not have been alluding to. No theory here, we will only be using facts as we are feeling and experiencing them. We are only concerned with how they relate to our current situation.
We have been listing and talking about the problems we are really facing in society and the world today. These are often in contrast to what we are told. At the very least they will show you how little if anything is really being done about the real problems we face. It is easily summed up as little to nothing. However I have forgotten some very important ones.
I really am surprised at the source of my reminder being Nostradamus.
Initially at least, my reaction to Nostradamus predictions was one of incredulity, and suspicion. Until I realized that all his predictions were based on the universe and astrological alignment. This is all unbelievable. As I feel that we as humanity or any life form on the planet are directly tied in as one with the universe and the entire planetary system. Whatever affects one directly affects the other. We would be smart to think and remember that every action begets a reaction. Very often one that you are not prepared to deal with.
He felt that a very great plague would afflict us with a great scab. He believed that relief is near but far away. Well coincidentally enough that nails a description of aids. One of the many symptoms of aids is a rare skin cancer that it covers the body with purple scabs. It is to be noted that scientists in America and at the Louis Pasteur Institute were able to identify the aids virus very quickly.
Nostradamus also predicted Pasteur’s discoveries. He even dated the inception of the Louis Pasteur Institute. Sadly we still do not have a cure for aids. Thus Nostradamus was right in saying that relief was near but far. There is also a strong possibility that the virus will mutate. Thus it is creating new virulent forms of the disease even as we seem to be zeroing in on a cure.
Sir Donald Acheson, British Chief Medical Officer, believes that a 100 years war will ensue before aids are eradicated. Nostradamus predicted that the plague may spread over half the world. As a result it could kill two thirds of humanity before a vaccine is finally developed. That sounds a little drastic. We can all only hope he’s wrong this time. Harvard University’s School Of Public Health suggested that by the first decade of the 21st century aids would spiral out of control. Just as we are watching happen. In the deadly rapid spread of aids, and mankind’s inability to fight it to date we see ourselves approaching Nostradamus prediction of two thirds of humanity falling prey to this terrible scourge in this century.
In his Epistle to Henry 2nd Nostradamus presented a nightmarish scenario. He said that there would be fierce global conflicts over Religion and ethnicity. Again he hits the nail on the head in regards to what is happening today all over the world. You know, when you think about it. Ever since the end of the cold war and the break up of the USSR ethnic conflicts have been on the rise. Conflicts involving ethnicity seem to increase constantly. It seems that every single conflict that we have tried to mediate and resolve is still on going. Even more telling is the fact that every single one of them is involving Muslims. You cannot appease these people and you could never please them. What to do?
I just want to remind you of how close we are tied into the life of this planet which we are just a living part of, and this universe. I just found out that all Nostradamus predictions were based on celestial events.
Nostradamus also foretold of the coming of 3 antichrists. The first was Napoleon, the second was Hitler, and the third still remains unnamed. Me personally I firmly believe him to be Usama Bin Laden. He believed the 3rd antichrist would be a Middle Eastern or North African terrorist. It would be someone who might obtain enough nerve gas or uranium and use it. Just to hold the world hostage. He went so far as to supply a place of birth, religion, military theater of operations. He even supplies his estimate of the duration of the war, 27 years.
The Near East breeds patient minds. The first Gulf war was just the first skirmish in a war that will be carried on like a family feud from generation to generation. The sons of the current Islamists and their sons, and their grandsons will continue the confrontation with the west and Israel.
Those that follow Nostradamus predictions believe that he also predicted world war three. They believe that the person that master minded the 9/11 attacks on New York’s twin towers will be Nostradamus third antichrist and the one to start world war three, and I personally agree. In the closing words of one of his prophesies he implies that there would be an overwhelming counter attack in response to the attacks on 9/11. He states that at once we will see vengeance from 100 powers, again he is right. There just happens to be a coalition of around 100 Nations vowing to fight in this war against terrorism.
The mention of thirst and famine in Nostradamus third world war prophesies are a recurring theme. They might just be the future results of today’s growing stresses on food and water demands on over population, bingo. Remember in book one where we discussed that the U.S. will soon not be able to feed the entire world. We might soon find it a necessity to limit immigration. This will be due to population growth, pollution, and urban sprawl. We will someday not be able to be the world’s bread basket. We also mentioned that while terrorism is a terrible problem that we have before us. Never the less it is civilizations, societies, troubles that are by far our biggest problems.
Nostradamus implied that our growing numbers could eventually overtax civilization. They could become a far more powerful factor than terrorism in dragging the world down. He of course is right but not totally. It is as we’ve been discussing. Civilization countries, societies all over the world in their loss of morality, have become their own worse problems. Despite this, we can turn this around.
Contrary to the hope of a new world order of peace after the cold war collective prophecy throughout History remains adamant that there will be three world wars. The last one will be shortly after mans 20th century after Christ. The fact that most casualties of a global nuclear war would be from starvation instead of blast or radiation effects would only make sense. What makes absolutely no sense at all is the Islamists desire to destroy the world. They want to destroy the very place that feeds it, the U.S. What happened to not biting the hand that feeds you?
I’m getting this information on Nostradamus primarily from John Hogue’s, Nostradamus “The New Millennium”. It is a very interesting book. I just read that Nostradamus also foretold the attacks on the twin towers. That subject aside we will not be discussing any of this conjecture or theory. However if you want to learn more on Nostradamus feel free. Personally I found it all too theoretical and confusing.
This from Nostradamus I will include. As we already discussed it and I for one firmly believe it. Early man was forced to view the world and all other living creatures because of the desire to survive, as adversaries. Everything they encountered was to be tamed or defeated. Like many of our early survival instincts that once served us well, this one too has no place in life today. This is now causing many of the worlds problems. This taming and control instinct has resulted in terrible abuse both of the planet, and its resources.
According to the Gaia theory, (Gaia is ancient Greek and means Goddess of the earth), of British Biochemist James Lovelock. The earth is a vast organism which unconsciously maintains itself through a series of checks and balances. These include for example, photosynthesis of plant life. This in turn produces clean fresh air ocean currents and volcanic movement. So the combined effect of all these systems working together results in the equilibrium of a healthy planet.
Mans determined neglect and destruction of his natural world is another major obstacle to the future of man.
If this destruction continues we will see an increase in extreme natural events and I believe they have started. There will be an increase in the amount of appalling natural catastrophes all around the world. Every 60 seconds 50 acre’s of the world’s tropical rainforest is destroyed. It is our main source of clean air to enrich and purify the entire of earth’s atmosphere. They are being cleared simply for grazing and crops. In just one year an area the size of the British Isles is lost. By 2020 a major part of the earth’s rain forest will be gone. Taking with them earths most efficient air purification system. It is easy to say that we have to stop this. We must for our future survival. Just how do you tell another country what to do with their own land? You really can’t.
How do you tell them, we know you have to make a living for you and your family? With this aside though we won’t allow you to cut down any more forest, you can’t. They don’t care that they may be killing humanity and the planet. They only understand that they must survive. Through the process of photosynthesis trees absorb poisonous carbon dioxide and give out clean oxygen. With no moisture returning to the atmosphere as a result of deforestation the greenhouse effect is further aggravated.
This in turn is altering ocean and weather patterns. With the end result being the setting the pattern for world wide natural catastrophes of a scale we could do without. Talking about civilization, the worlds two most populous Nations will soon not be able to feed their populations. The world watch Institute estimates that China will not be able to feed itself. Indian demographers believe India will run out of water. To make matters even worse, both countries are nuclear powers. That can only add to an already complicated future for civilizations survival. Just one final note on Nostradamus and we’ll move on.
I always thought that all of his prophesies were apocalyptic in nature. So you can imagine my surprise in coming upon this chapter calling for a new Religiousness. Unbelievably this too plays right into our story line. I’m reading that throughout Nostradamus visions of apocalypse the theme of a new religious consciousness occurs again, and again. It will flourish he say’s, at the turn of the century. As we talked about earlier, it is a natural response to infringement on your feelings of safety and security in society. In their present state the established Religions show little ability to bring peace on earth. On the contrary most wars throughout history have been fought over differences in faith. Why should this war be any exception I guess? Man just doesn’t seem to learn.
As we discussed in the past, we are having conflicts virtually all over the world. Exclusively over God and who he favors. We can’t even prove who he is, if he is, or if he ever was. There are as you know many, many things that have happened in the past that we still do not have the answer to. The absolute worse thing about this is that today we do have the ability to answer many unanswered questions. As of yet we aren’t doing it. We are preparing once again, to battle over God.
No one even knows if he exists or ever did. We have the ability to answer many questions long left unanswered. Now is the time to do this. Man it would really take the wind out of their sales if it was proven that God was from another planet? I would honest to God fully expect that. I think that would be just fine. At least we would know. What did you expect anyways? However you never know the truth sometimes hurts some people.
Our problems in society are cumulative from years of abuse and misuse of our Democratic system. We have failed to address properly and distinctly every single problem we have ever attempted to deal with from where I stand. We have wrongly attempted to please or appease those with selfish ulterior motives. At the same time we are ignoring those with real needs.
As a result, you can look back just 50 years and you cannot find one single system that is critical to our societal infrastructure today and say, yes we are better off by far than we were 50 years ago. There is most definitely a problem here. What happened to “ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country”? Our political leaders too can be well served by remembering President Kennedy and what he did for the country a little more than just once a year. Then they invoke his name just in hopes of gaining votes. We are not helping the citizens we are helping our selves.
Some one has to come forward that is going to do the right thing. Regardless of their personal feelings and I believe he is. I have followed Arnold personally for close to thirty years. He is the man to set us straight and run our country perfectly. With this in mind I for one think it is dead wrong to change our Constitution to enable him to run. This is another attempt of a political party to help them not the country. We just heard that his wife said there is no way he will run, we’ll see.
We always seem to have good intentions but once again the wrong answer. This would cause us too much grief. What we should do is to make allowances on a one on one basis. If we do not we will once again as citizens lose even more control over the future of the country. I do not understand this sudden desire by the Republicans to all of a sudden start amending the Constitution when ever a perceived crisis arises. We have to regain control of ourselves as a country. Why don’t we just fix the problem? That is the only thing to do, the right thing. Let’s get to work.
What has happened to the men and women of principal? If we ever needed them we need them now. Arnold is this kind of man. He has the kind of values that President Reagan was admired and respected for. Like President Reagan he has a personality that make people want to do things for him and to do it right. He will remedy California’s financial situation wowing their citizens in the interim. Arnold is his own driving force. He has his own impeccable ideals. He does not have to try and emulate any one. If you have to work at implementing ideals then they are not yours to espouse. If you have to try and emulate some one you admire you will always come up short.
Both President Bush’s have tried to emulate the President they admired and respected. President Bush 1 fell way short and president Bush 2 is way off. Getting elected as President of the United States is important. However not at the expense of your integrity which was the case in the last two elections. If you are principled and want nothing more than to help the country you should be okay. Then the every day American the people will sense that.
The idea is not what we flagrantly get thrown in our faces daily. That is not the sitting Presidents position to take advantage of and help his friends as is the case right now. The idea is not to see what the country can do for your friends. There is nothing worse than cronyism at a level like that of the U.S. Government. If you do the right thing you’re in. If you do not you are gone. It’s as simple as that. Family and friends are not to be treated any differently. With a principled person they are not. You have a job to do for the country. That should be all that matters period.
We never see the right thing done. However, once a year we hear the right thing being said then nothing. If you have to lie or stretch the truth, it’s no good. If you have to compromise your standards then the votes you would acquire are not worth it. The goal lately has been to say or do what ever you have to in order to get elected. We all know that neither party can say other wise. Getting you party elected for all the wrong reasons is not important people are. At least they are supposed to be.
Talking on this subject invokes memories of a man I didn’t always agree with but you could always agree with his intentions and principals. When you take a position, (job) the driving thought seems to be of how you can further your own selfish agenda. It is supposed to be of how you can further the cause of the working people and further the cause of the Country. Boy do we have this all wrong.
The feeling seems to be increasingly of what I can get out of this. We must stop this downward slide that both parties have us on. Sadly enough they seem to have the rest of the ruling economy for company. In the 60s and 70s I was disgruntled with our government systems on every level. Looking back it seems like it would be nice to have only that level of corruptive ineptitude instead of what we are getting today. What I have finally woken up to is that if you care or have concerns you must get into action. No one else is going to take care of your concerns. We can’t even seem to get our servants on any level to do the right thing. We all know this adage and it is absolutely right on. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself. So let us do it. I wish all of us the best of luck as we move into the future. Lets Roll, Adios and Good Luck to us.

After
word
Those
of us who have read this know what we have to do now. The direct
repercussions of our actions or inactions at this point are blatantly
clear. It is up to us to attempt to get our leaders to understand the
tremendous negative impact their immorality is having on us. We must
get them to realize the impact their constant and continuous
misreading of the situations arising around the world.
We
have in many cases become our own worse enemies. We are losing our
collective morality. The lying stealing and killing as we are all
living and experiencing first hand has to stop. We all know how
detrimental all this is to every one of us. Wow, just imagine how
much money we would save simply by everyone practicing what they
preach. Live the Constitution the way it was intended. Look at the
cost to our country, someone quantify it. We could eliminate the
national debt in no time if people will only pull 100% together. Do
the right thing, for the country for society not you.
This
is ruining us personally, financially, governmentally and above all,
it is psychologically damaging to all of us. We want to change moral
directions. We must get back to as a rule, taking the rest of society
into consideration. Let’s do the right thing. Let’s make
President Reagan and Thomas Jefferson proud.
Often
times we are saying and showing that society doesn’t matter
anymore. This is so wrong and it is exactly what Thomas Jefferson and
others at the time feared. It is a direct result of what he feared
most. He feared we would stop using our common sense and do the right
thing. He feared that we would start using reason or lack there of in
order to make decisions. We are saying society doesn’t come first
ahead of our own selfish interests. It has too. Society is the very
foundation of our Nation. As a whole we must remember this. No
society no nation. Weak society weak nation, we know what works and
we know what worked. It is time for us to regroup and get back to
what we know works.
Whatever
happened to the principal of doing the right thing just for the sake
of doing the right thing? What happened to Thomas Jefferson’s idea
of America, with the knowledge that anyone who became a member of a
society would automatically do the right thing for that society? That
they would automatically have, receive, or use, common sense?
Remember we as a Nation were born around the time of the
Enlightenment. By the end of the 16th century the west had
embarked on a process of technilization that would ultimately lead to
en entirely different kind of society. It was a new kind of humanity.
That ultimately would lead to a change in the western perception of
the role and nature of God.
The achievements of the west changed the
course of world history. This in turn opened an already existing gap
in the cultures of Islam and the west. These still appear difficult
if not impossible to close. Until the 18th century Islam
had been the dominant world power in Africa, The Middle East, and the
Mediterranean.
By
the end of the 18th century Europe had begun to dominate
the world. The very nature of its accomplishments meant that the
rest of the world would never catch up. The British had also taken
control of India and Europe was colonizing as much of the world as it
could. The process of westernization had begun. With it the cult of
secularism began that claimed an independence of God. They had the
view that consideration of the well being of man kind would take
precedence over religious considerations. We know what the atmosphere
was like when the Constitution was drafted.
We
know what our founding fathers were intending. We know it wasn’t
for us to twist bend and rewrite the Constitution. But adhere to it
in principal to the benefit of society and country.
We
must make a concerted Nation wide effort to regain our morality. As a
Nation it is an absolute shambles. We are telling people to feel free
and tear apart our society if you want it is your right, no way. It
is their right as much as it is the Islamists right, and no one has
the right. We are telling our citizens that they have the right to do
say be, anything they want. Regardless of what anyone else thinks.
We
are telling all the weirdo’s to come out of the proverbial closet.
Then they’re forcing us society minded righteous people in. We are
telling our own people they have the right to do what we are telling
the terrorist they do not have the right to do. We have to get on the
same page. Someone up there must be capable of thinking things
through.
We
must ensure the proper functioning of our own society. We have to do
this at the same time that we are dealing with the problem of the
Islamists. We are our most important problem to fix before we march
into the future.
Primarily because when this war against the Islamist
Jihadists is won if we do not get our own act together we will be no
better off. We would still have a broken system here with the same
personal problems at home. I know we are told that the war against
the terrorists is the most important event that has ever faced us. I
will guarantee you that once again they are wrong. The most important
battle is cleaning up the collective improprieties right here at
home. For without fixing our own enormous problems we will have won
nothing but a little time. Let us think first and remember Rome. This
decadence has to stop. It has been the downfall of every single
society in world history that has managed to escape destruction in
war.
We
know we cannot go on this way. We have all suffered daily as a result
of someone’s immorality. These are extremely contentious times.
This lying and underhandedness is ruining us Politically,
Financially, and pervasively in every single aspect of our daily
life.
We
have hit the point in civilizations and the world’s evolution where
man is now in direct control of the survival of man and the planet.
That is a scary thought we are in serious trouble. Jane Goodal hit it
on the head when she said in regards to the guerilla habitats and the
planet that we made a terrible mess of things. She was right and I
just can’t see man doing the right thing though I pray that we do.
Man can’t even seem to manage himself. I have always said that if
the survival of something is up to man it is in trouble. It is our
very survival, God help us.
Nostradamus
put our alternatives in stark contrast for us. He laid out two
scenarios for us. He said that the 21st century would be
marked by ethnic and religious conflicts erupting all over the world.
We could let this turmoil rip the world apart or we could embrace a
new feeling of religiousness and save ourselves. It does not matter
what we want. We all know we want peace but it is out of our hands.
It is the Muslims who we must get to understand the dire consequences
of their actions and inactions and misactions.
Muslim
law strongly forbids Muslims to declare war against a country where
they are allowed to practice their religion freely. It strongly
prohibits the killing of innocent civilians to say nothing of the
killing and destruction of fellow Muslims and their lands. We know
that as far as nature man and time are concerned that there is no
turning back. Life’s systems work only in one direction, forward.
We cannot allow anyone to attempt to take us back to a path we have
already traveled down.
With
this in mind I just heard last night 11/30/04 that Muslims are
determined to fight the Americans until doomsday if necessary. Their
goal was restated. I have been voicing this for a couple of years.
Primarily to hopefully understand the real sensitivity needed to
treat them and their lands with respect. I said this last year and I
repeat it again this time. We just can’t seem to understand this.
We certainly don’t seem to be able to give them what they want.
This is due to our ignorance or lack of understanding I guess because
in this instance Senator Kerry was right. We must attempt to work
this out. It is going to take a new way of thinking on our part. We
can not continue to treat or deal with them as we have in the past.
Civilization
and the planet have run that course already. We and the planet cannot
survive a rebirth of feelings that led us down that path in the first
place. We must attempt to make all parties involved realize that at
this point in the life of man and the planet we have been there done
that. Our weapons are now too advanced for us to go back to that way
of thinking. We must be made to accept our positions. Respect each
others independence and move forward, we can do this.
We
have some quick choices to make. We are allowing too much
nonconformity right here in our own society. We can see the terrible
effect it is having on our well being, mentally, physically,
financially and structurally. Just why didn’t Allen Greenspan speak
up before the election? If he knew of the dire financial straight
President Bush’s policies would put us in? If speaking the truth or
doing the right thing is going to hurt one party or the other that’s
fine. We must relearn as a country the principal of doing the right
thing for the sake of doing the right thing.
You
know now having heard the truth what we have before us for problems.
They are not insurmountable. Our leaders who seem to be in denial
have not yet addressed our real personal problems right here as we
must. We have talked about all the skirmishes breaking out around the
world and the reason for them. Everything else aside we still have
the long standing skirmishes to work out.
China
against Taiwan is a time bomb of the worst proportions. In Ireland it
is the Protestants against the Catholics. This at least is starting
to look promising for a resolution. The confrontation between North
Korea and the United States seem to be heading in the wrong direction
thanks to the games being played by the North Koreans. We still have
Cuba and the United States in progress.
You
can see all that we have before us. We know that we need some fresh
minds to deal with the problems. President Bush showed us too many
times that he just does not know how to evaluate a situation. He has
proven that without a doubt. Especially with his ill minded ill timed
attack of Iraq that he is not capable of understanding the world
situation. Let alone what to do about it. He continues to make every
situation harder for our military and tougher on us.
We
as citizens must get involved in one respect or the other.
We must
help to resolve all these festering wounds in our society and the
world. The old school has proven that their methods continually make
things worse. This is true and we must remember that their mindset is
what put us in this position in the first place. We can and must do
this. We have to wake up our leaders. We must help where we can. Our
children’s future and maybe that of the world depend on us, let’s
roll.
