Dedication
This book is dedicated to the hard working unrecognized people of
society. We must help those attempting to eke out a fragile living in
the “Trenches of American Society”. The deck called life is being
increasingly stacked against them. The distance between those that
have and those that have not is purposely and irresponsibly being
increased. The rich are being taken care of and those that have not
have less. Someone in a position of responsibility that is able to
help this level of Society has got to step forward.
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
We are going to be talking about the realities of what is
happening in our societies and in the world. This, as our leaders
pile continuous pressure on us. They continue to fail and understand
the realities of what is happening in our societies and in the world.
As a result our leaders pile continuous pressure on us. They
continue to fail and understand what is really happening today and
why. Our leaders continue to show us that they do not comprehend what
is happening in the world of the 21
st century. In our case
as Americans, our leaders on every level fail to see the realities of
what is really facing our country today. They continue to display
their lack of ability or desire to confront them.
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 12
th and 13
th
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
We as you know, closed our first conversations with a discussion
of the systems in our own country that must be fixed. We must do this
before we will be able to successfully proceed into the 21
st
century and ultimately win this war on terrorism. These systems
include, but are certainly not limited to, the Media, Political, and
Legal systems. We discussed the problems with these systems, but not
in depth, and we will continue, until the problems are negated.
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.
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.
Boy I wish I knew that before, I didn’t know it was that easy
and you know it isn’t. If you want to be totally confused go on
line, go to Google and check out the day’s diet misinformation,
unbelievable.
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 2
nd
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 18
th 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 18
th 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 17
th and 18
th 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
I just want you to think for a minute. Put this down, and just
take a minute to reflect on this. Why do you think that thousands of
years ago man knew, believed in, and worshipped many different
deities, with many different names? We all know what the Holy
Scriptures of the three great religions tells us and want us to
believe.
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 20
th 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 17
th, 18
th,
19
th, and even 20
th 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.

that they all appear ready to blow at a moments notice.

Every single one of these countries has historically gotten along
very well as both Muslim and Christian. But now all of a sudden they
don’t. Officials aren’t quite sure why, we can tell you why. This
so called war on terrorism is more realistically called a war against
Islam itself, why can’t we see it.
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.

There are now 15 countries with more looking for autonomy every
time. If there is an election or outcome a certain tribe faction or
sect doesn’t like, there will be a conflict. This is a constantly
evolving situation. In light of the vast number of potentially deadly
weapons floating around over there it bears close watching and
monitoring.
Don’t you agree that it is time for us to realize, as a Nation,
what is really happening. Everyone has to be made to realize what is
really going on in the world today. With the exception of the age old
adversaries every single one of the wars and conflict going on today
has to do with the Muslims. Good or bad, whatever side they’re on,
they are involved.
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 20
th 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
We are so fond of saying in regards to the horrors of war and
annihilation, that we must not forget History or we are doomed to
repeat it. So too, we must in kind, remember the History of personal
sacrifice. We must remember what worked in our ultimate march to
victory. We must remember what it took from every citizen to
persevere. If we do not we are doomed to failure.
Before we go on to other problems and insights, the thoughts of
one more person deserves note. During the 14
th 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
How often have the pillars of our wisdom and beliefs been crumpled
into dust? The sobering answer to this is that it happens all day
every day. It is happening at an ever increasing rate due to our
increased knowledge. The inaccuracies came about as a result of
hurried misinformation and inadequate studies. At one time as we all
know hundreds and hundreds of generations believed that the earth was
flat or so we thought. We now know of civilizations spread around the
world that in fact knew the earth was round thousands of years ago.
His was at a point in time when it would have been impossible for man
to know this.
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.
606 B.C.E. – Babylonian King Nebupolassar crushes the Assyrians
and begins to build his own Empire. Moses principals are once again
reinstalled. Yahweh is now known as the one true God. Yahweh also
becomes the author of a Holy War of destruction purely to show and
prove it.
604 B.C.E. – The Jews were deported
to Babylon.
597 B.C.E. – After the fall of Jerusalem a priest named Ezekiel
was deported.
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.
*610 - The prophet Muhammad receives the first revelations for the
Muslim religion.
*11
th/12
th 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.
As we discussed, Religious resurgence happens at a time of
political insecurity when people are haunted by the fear of their own
destruction. As we all know, all over the world we are experiencing these fears today
with. It is horrible what the Islamists are doing to the entire
world. It is for this reason that Religion is experiencing a new
lease on life among Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
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
Realities and the Muslim
Revival
The Muslim Religion is going through right now with the Islamists
extremist exactly what the Christians went through during the
Crusades with the hard-line Christians. I know this might sound
pretty ridiculous to us. Particularly in light of the horrors and
atrocities they are committing against God and man. They seem to
think in some perverse way that they have God on their side. They
could not be more wrong.
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 2
nd 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.
There will be no change except only to increase the horrors of
their activities. Anyone that thinks otherwise, regardless of what we
say or do, or who we kill, is in for a rude awakening.
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 18
th century this is the 21
st
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
7
Life’s
Realities and Nostradamus
I’ve been wandering around the house trying to think of the best
way to frame the problems in our own society. Then it dawned on me.
You can all I’m sorry to say, relate to this in many, many ways,
and instances. I am just going to relate some bad experiences I have
been having of late down here in life in the trenches of American
society. I’m sure someone will disagree. It has been my experience
that the lower you go the more you are taken advantage of, and the
worse it gets.
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 21
st 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 2
nd 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 3
rd 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
20
th 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.
