In a ruling that hit too close to home for me personally, a graduate student, Julea Ward, who was enrolled in the school counseling program was expelled due to her stance that homosexuality is morally wrong. The ruling cited the supposed facts that Ms. Ward had violated EMU school policy as well as American Counseling Association (ACA) code of ethics. The university had given Ms Ward the opportunity to continue on in the program if she agreed to a remediation program, and cease and desist in her belief systems pertaining to homosexuality, and ‘imposing’ her views onto her clients. In this ruling EMU has attempted to sell their position as being neutral, and therefore correct, while attempting to sell their point that they welcome ‘individuals from diverse background into our community”.
Interestingly enough, EMU along with most in the mental health community and the larger society in general are either not aware, or are not willing to admit that homosexuality was seen as a mental disorder as late as 1973. (This year is famous for another horrible decision). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders second edition (DSM II) removed homosexuality as a mental disorder, and reclassified it as Sexual Orientation disorder. The subsequent DSM III further removed the category and again reclassified this as “ego dystonic homosexuality” which puts it into a category describing only those who are ‘disturbed’ by their orientation. In fact, there is a strong effort to utilize the DSM IV, that came out in 1994, to classify homophobia as a mental disorder, thus completing the 180 degree turn by the homosexual activists in scrubbing their ‘way of life’ from any treatment criteria, and vilifying anyone who disagrees with them as ‘mentally ill’.
The DSM series, otherwise known as the ‘psychiatrists’ bible’ is the standard in which mental health is diagnosed and treated. No one would argue that the DSM has changed over the decades and that there are many instances in which the diagnostic criteria has been altered due to medical, societal, as well as political pressures to change them. There definitely is no question, that if one researches this issue, there was tremendous pressure put on the American Psychiatric Association to change the status of homosexuality from a disorder to a more normal behavior, to a protected behavior over the years. The current DSM V is going through final revisions, and will most likely move diagnostic criteria even further away from a mental disorder, and may even begin to target those who oppose it with their own newly minted disorder.
The idea that therapists and counselors cannot and should not verbalize limits or boundaries to any client’s behavior is the height of insanity. What would the EMU counseling center recommend a counselor to do, if for instance, a client came in and stated “I hate all ‘fags’ and I wish they would all die” I don’t believe for a minute that limits wouldn’t be set, or possibly, that client would be ‘fired’ by the therapist or transferred to another provider. If the school wants to truly be ‘Neutral’ in its teaching and training of counselors, it should teach that it is OK for married people to carry on affairs with no guilt or depression, sociopaths to continue on in their sadistical and contorted ways, drug addicts and alcoholics should be allowed into sessions high or drunk without kicking them out, wife beaters, child molesters or other miscreants cannot be corrected in their behaviors. After all, isn’t it their ‘choice’ and the ‘code of ethics’ states we providers are supposed to meet the clients ‘where they are’ and not ‘judge’ them? We are not, and should not be ‘neutral’ on most of these issues, and have an obligation to society to have norms that need to be respected.
The articles I have read simply stated that Ms. Ward sees homosexuality as immoral. It did not mention, or allude to her preaching or attempting to convert clients while in session. There was no allegation of complaints lodged against her by clients that felt ‘offended’ by her statements or behaviors. The school alluded to Ms. Ward needing to change her beliefs about homosexuality, not about her behavior while delivering mental heath services. If this is the case, then the school outright lied about ‘welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds into the community.’
It is insanity to claim to be open academically, and claim to teach and train students to be counselors, and then tie their hands with unreasonable and prejudicial precepts. There are limits to people’s unacceptable behaviors, and they need to be called on them. Unfortunately in this day and age, what is considered to be a mental disorder is too often what is politically correct, and what used to be considered an illness is now a protected status. EMU is doing no favors by singling out a student based upon her Christian views, as it sets up a true monopoly on thoughts and beliefs. Doesn’t EMU’s behavior meet some criteria in the DSM?

NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN
George Offerman
I am very aware that several pro life groups check out this site on a regular basis, and I want to make this very clear to them. I do not EVER want to receive another fund raising letter from your organization. I don’t want to hear about the half baked efforts you put in to end this holocaust, as you attempt to spin it as real and effective efforts. I don’t want to get another email advertising virtual protests and signing petitions that will never be read. I don’t want to hear about your promises to ‘send us money, and we will lobby on your behalf’. I don’t want to hear about your mediocre efforts being sold as heroic, nor do I want to hear about how we are on the verge of victory when we are getting the stuffing kicked out of us. But I especially don’t want to hear complaining about how things are not going well and how the MSM is ‘against us’ and it is ‘us against the world’ or whatever nonsense you can come up with.
There are those who are out on the streets fighting the fight. Unfortunately they are few in numbers, and they definitely are not the ones writing newsletters that allege that ‘babies will die’ if they are not funded. For the 28 + years I have been in this movement, it has been understood that the key to victory is the Supreme Court, and the need to overturn the horrible decisions of Roe and Doe. Well we have had two nominations in the past year, and nearly all of the so called ‘pro life movement’ have ignored this. I have gone over the outright negligence of many of the groups by name, and will not rehash all of it, but it is becoming so apparent that the vast majority of the so called ‘pro life movement’ has very little intention of getting ‘their hands dirty’ and showing up at the points of battle. In essence, they do not know how to fight and win. And they promote their garbage as winning strategies.
What makes this especially horrible is the fact that those willing to get their hands dirty or the more accurate ‘willing to take a bullet for the babies’ are ignored, ridiculed, mocked and sometimes outright attacked and persecuted by the so called PRO LIFE MOVEMENT. I have witnessed this firsthand, as I have been very involved personally in being arrested, protests, threats, had personal property vandalized and stolen, loss of friends over my views of this holocaust, given out personal resources to good causes, purchasing signs and other products for mass distribution, and taking my personal time and being physically present at abortion mills and actively sidewalk counseling, and finally writing this blog. (And a few other things I will not mention). And I still believe I’m not doing enough to end this holocaust. I’m sick of the people that sit at computers in the comfort of their homes or offices and believe they are doing a service, while the anti lifers are on the streets, and most of the time outnumbers us. They understand the nature of the fight, they are actively involved in the fight and they are kicking our @$$.
Kagan will most likely get the ‘nod’ for elevation to the Supreme Court, and the so called ‘pro life movement’ again is MIA. I have to wonder if the so called ‘pro life movement’ understands the nature of the fight, or if they are just that cowardly, and are afraid to pay the price of victory? Or could it be more sinister than that? The only time most of the so called ‘pro life movement’ uses harsh rhetoric is when it is against those who are taking bullets for the babies. It seems that it is easier to attack those that are making the so called ‘pro life leaders’ look bad than it is to engage the enemy in the battlefield. It’s a lot easier (and convenient) to write flowery newsletters, promising to do some peripheral work for money, and getting most of the people who support them the false sense that they are making a difference. The term most often used to describe this behavior is prostitution.
This is a real war that requires real warriors. The so called ‘pro life movement’ is filled with wimps and weenies who are posing as warriors, and are unwilling to get into the midst of the battle. Most of the so called ‘pro life leadership’ would be lost without computers and kitchens to hide in, and they did not even have the integrity to call for an active filibuster of this horrendous Supreme Court nominee. The current ‘leadership’ in the so called ‘pro life movement’ cannot be depended upon to end this holocaust. It will take real radicalism to end this, and radicalism is what scares the so called leaders to death (or into complacency). They will not do what they need to do, or be who they need to be to make this happen. This past year’s absence by them proves it, and all the flowery language and claims of false activism will never cover this up.

HERMENEUTICS 101: NATURAL RELIGION VERSUS REVEALED RELIGION
George Offerman
This is the last of the group of postings that investigates the background information pertaining to hermeneutics and the proper study and interpretation of the Bible. All of the subjects covered thus far are very complex and detailed, and part of the goal is to impress upon the reader that there exists many differing facets of viewing scripture which need to be considered or at least taken into account for when applying the lessons from the Bible. It is hoped that by having an expanded awareness of the hermeneutical process, one will begin to appreciate the nuances and logic behind most of the teachings and authority of the Church, and the need to follow them as a pathway to a fulfilled life.
Natural Religion
Natural religion is primarily based upon the empirical world, that which can be observed. Anthropologists have proven beyond a doubt that it is in the nature of man to worship a ‘higher power’, and the nature of this religion has to do with times, places and on going myths of what could be considered a tribe. An example of this would be groups near the North Pole viewing a glacier as sacred, as those in a rain forest may view the tallest tree as sacred. There are usually accompanying myths and rituals that correspond with the belief systems, and significant to severe punishment to anyone who violates or desecrates the ‘sacred’ object and/or rituals associated with it.
Natural religions tend to (but not all) view their gods as rather distant, and marginally involved in human affairs. These gods usually have mixture of good and evil, and most often are attributed with human characteristics, also known as anthropomorphism. These gods are generally designed around events, such as the Egyptian god of the flood, represented by blessings every spring when the Nile would flood and leave fertile soil behind. Generally, if revealed religion is introduced to a society that has very strong beliefs in their natural religion, the natural religion tends to win out. It is very difficult for man to change belief systems once he internalizes his beliefs, and it has been the cause of much distress and wars throughout history.
Revealed Religion
Revealed Religion is based upon God (gods) directly intervening into history and communicating directly with mankind through use of human representatives usually known as prophets. Through these individuals, God communicates his will, his character, moral order, issues pertaining to salvation and the future. Unlike natural religions, the prophet or priest may forward messages and teachings that are contrary to the empirical world, and this relies on faith more than substance. This often is the cause of conflicts and social tensions, when it is contrary to the contemporary movement of society.
Revealed religions also emphasize a personal relationship with God in the sense that certain behaviors and rituals are personally pleasing to God while other behaviors and rituals can create problems, up to the point of eternal condemnation. Revealed religions also tend to go more into the mystical and metaphysical aspects of reality, thus giving clear instructions as to what is ‘approved and not approved’. Although there are some anthropomorphic attributes given to God, God is seen as divine, and having ultimate control over the cosmos, and transcends any tribal or regional system of beliefs and rituals. Also, the tenets of revealed religions do not change with time, and thus reflect the constancy of God, whereas in natural religion, the view of god changes with increase in knowledge.
Natural Religion versus Revealed Religion
Despite what many would like to believe, natural religion is alive and well in our modern times, and in fact is thriving. We have to look no further than the sciences to see this. We have the world of science that is promoting and ‘predicting’ the future by promoting such things as global warming, over population, energy scarcity and other ‘sacred teachings’. The scientist is viewed as the modern day priest and prophet, and gives dire warnings of gloom and doom if their words are not taken seriously. We have the modern colloquialism of ‘mother earth and mother nature’, thus anthropomorphizing this planet. We have the punishment from the gods (mother earth) if we do not follow the teachings and precepts of the prophets, and most of the worlds governments promote these teachings (views) as gospel truth with significant punishment meted out to violators of the laws and teachings.
Modern technology and scientific advances have moved us as a species from the realm of revealed religion, back to the natural religions. Most of society mocks any individual who dares to question such matters as evolution, global warming, over population and energy scarcity. Society also mocks, and is beginning to persecute those willing to stand up for the ‘dead God” and challenge these ‘sacred cows’ of modern times, and is intolerant of any teachings that are contrary to modern myths and folklores. Thus in our modern world, science has supplanted revealed religion and the Christian God, and has taken on its own characteristics of a deity.
That science has taken on a religious stature is not really debatable among intelligent people. One only has to consider the exposure of the e-mails by hackers a year ago that exposed global warming as fraudulent, and watched the reaction of the ‘establishment’ to this revelation. There is no question that the ‘powers that be’ saw their ‘sacred cow’ slaughtered, and responded initially with a very unreasonable defense and with a force that is unequalled by any contemporary churches concerning their beliefs. The penalty is large for not believing in the new religion and our society is requiring that we fund and bow to this new god and to its prophets.
The conflict between the revealed Living God of the Bible and the natural religion and its god (distorted science) will continue until the time that God breaks into history once again. In the mean time, it is becoming more and more difficult to fight against the resurgence of this new and very nature based religion, as they have the means to promote it, while the representatives of the revealed religion do little to nothing in standing in their way, or challenging their false perceptions. As modern meets ancient, it will be truth that wins over the lie. We need to present the truth as it is, unvarnished and unchangeable.
The next posting will start with an overview of the bible in light of their hermeneutical process discussed in the previous postings. After the overview, we will investigate prophecies, starting with those fulfilled and then move into the story of Revelation, utilizing the hermeneutical processes covered, and then work on an understanding of what the Bible really has to say concerning the end times.

SAY IT AIN'T SO... DID MLK SUPPORT PLANNED PARENTHOOD?
George Offerman
I am still reeling from the revelation that Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of the first recipients of the planned parenthood margaret sanger award. I have reprinted the speech in its entirety from the planned parenthood site, and to say the least, it is very shocking. Dr. Alveda King, MLK’s niece, has refuted the assertion that Dr. King would have supported what planned parenthood is doing today. She has also stated that Dr. King did not personally accept the award, and may not even have written the speech that is credited to him. Unfortunately, I have not seen any refutation by Dr Martin Luther King on the content of the speech and am left to wonder then, did he actually agree with the speech and the precepts of family planning?
I am a great fan of Martin Luther king, and was inspired by his letter from Birmingham jail. It was instrumental in my eventual decision to enter the seminary, as I saw this man as a living saint, and saw an example of faith lived out as I believed it ought to be. This brings no joy to my heart, but it serves no purpose to not look at the facts and public records of such individuals. It is really up to the individual to decide what to make of this and go on from there.
Mrs. Coretta Scott King delivered her husband's acceptance speech on his behalf.
Before reading Dr. King's speech, Mrs. King declared, "I am proud tonight to say a word in behalf of your mentor, and the person who symbolizes the ideas of this organization, Margaret Sanger. Because of her dedication, her deep convictions, and for her suffering for what she believed in, I would like to say that I am proud to be a woman tonight."
Planned Parenthood is proud to reprint Dr. King's acceptance speech.
Family Planning — A Special and Urgent Concern
by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Recently, the press has been filled with reports of sightings of flying saucers. While we need not give credence to these stories, they allow our imagination to speculate on how visitors from outer space would judge us. I am afraid they would be stupefied at our conduct. They would observe that for death planning we spend billions to create engines and strategies for war. They would also observe that we spend millions to prevent death by disease and other causes. Finally they would observe that we spend paltry sums for population planning, even though its spontaneous growth is an urgent threat to life on our planet. Our visitors from outer space could be forgiven if they reported home that our planet is inhabited by a race of insane men whose future is bleak and uncertain.
There is no human circumstance more tragic than the persisting existence of a harmful condition for which a remedy is readily available. Family planning, to relate population to world resources, is possible, practical and necessary. Unlike plagues of the dark ages or contemporary diseases we do not yet understand, the modern plague of overpopulation is soluble by means we have discovered and with resources we possess.
What is lacking is not sufficient knowledge of the solution but universal consciousness of the gravity of the problem and education of the billions who are its victims.
It is easier for a Negro to understand a social paradox because he has lived so long with evils that could be eradicated but were perpetuated by indifference or ignorance. The Negro finally had to devise unique methods to deal with his problem, and perhaps the measure of success he is realizing can be an inspiration to others coping with tenacious social problems.
In our struggle for equality we were confronted with the reality that many millions of people were essentially ignorant of our conditions or refused to face unpleasant truths. The hard-core bigot was merely one of our adversaries. The millions who were blind to our plight had to be compelled to face the social evil their indifference permitted to flourish.
After centuries of relative silence and enforced acceptance, we adapted a technique of exposing the problem by direct and dramatic methods. We had confidence that when we awakened the nation to the immorality and evil of inequality, there would be an upsurge of conscience followed by remedial action.
We knew that there were solutions and that the majority of the nation were ready for them. Yet we also knew that the existence of solutions would not automatically operate to alter conditions. We had to organize, not only arguments, but people in the millions for action. Finally we had to be prepared to accept all the consequences involved in dramatizing our grievances in the unique style we had devised.
There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger's early efforts. She, like we, saw the horrifying conditions of ghetto life. Like we, she knew that all of society is poisoned by cancerous slums. Like we, she was a direct actionist — a nonviolent resister. She was willing to accept scorn and abuse until the truth she saw was revealed to the millions. At the turn of the century she went into the slums and set up a birth control clinic, and for this deed she went to jail because she was violating an unjust law. Yet the years have justified her actions. She launched a movement which is obeying a higher law to preserve human life under humane conditions. Margaret Sanger had to commit what was then called a crime in order to enrich humanity, and today we honor her courage and vision; for without them there would have been no beginning. Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by nonviolent direct action may not have been so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her. Negroes have no mere academic nor ordinary interest in family planning. They have a special and urgent concern.
Recently the subject of Negro family life has received extensive attention. Unfortunately, studies have overemphasized the problem of the Negro male ego and almost entirely ignored the most serious element — Negro migration. During the past half century Negroes have migrated on a massive scale, transplanting millions from rural communities to crammed urban ghettoes. In their migration, as with all migrants, they carried with them the folkways of the countryside into an inhospitable city slum. The size of family that may have been appropriate and tolerable on a manually cultivated farm was carried over to the jammed streets of the ghetto. In all respects Negroes were atomized, neglected and discriminated against. Yet, the worst omission was the absence of institutions to acclimate them to their new environment. Margaret Sanger, who offered an important institutional remedy, was unfortunately ignored by social and political leaders in this period. In consequence, Negro folkways in family size persisted. The problem was compounded when unrestrained exploitation and discrimination accented the bewilderment of the newcomer, and high rates of illegitimacy and fragile family relationships resulted.
For the Negro, therefore, intelligent guides of family planning are a profoundly important ingredient in his quest for security and a decent life. There are mountainous obstacles still separating Negroes from a normal existence. Yet one element in stabilizing his life would be an understanding of and easy access to the means to develop a family related in size to his community environment and to the income potential he can command.
This is not to suggest that the Negro will solve all his problems through Planned Parenthood. His problems are far more complex, encompassing economic security, education, freedom from discrimination, decent housing and access to culture. Yet if family planning is sensible it can facilitate or at least not be an obstacle to the solution of the many profound problems that plague him.
The Negro constitutes half the poor of the nation. Like all poor, Negro and white, they have many unwanted children. This is a cruel evil they urgently need to control. There is scarcely anything more tragic in human life than a child who is not wanted. That which should be a blessing becomes a curse for parent and child. There is nothing inherent in the Negro mentality which creates this condition. Their poverty causes it. When Negroes have been able to ascend economically, statistics reveal they plan their families with even greater care than whites. Negroes of higher economic and educational status actually have fewer children than white families in the same circumstances.
Some commentators point out that with present birth rates it will not be long before Negroes are a majority in many of the major cities of the nation. As a consequence, they can be expected to take political control, and many people are apprehensive at this prospect. Negroes do not seek political control by this means. They seek only what they are entitled to and do not wish for domination purchased at the cost of human misery. Negroes were once bred by slave owners to be sold as merchandise. They do not welcome any solution which involves population breeding as a weapon. They are instinctively sympathetic to all who offer methods that will improve their lives and offer them fair opportunity to develop and advance as all other people in our society.
For these reasons we are natural allies of those who seek to inject any form of planning in our society that enriches life and guarantees the right to exist in freedom and dignity.
For these constructive movements we are prepared to give our energies and consistent support; because in the need for family planning, Negro and white have a common bond; and together we can and should unite our strength for the wise preservation, not of races in general, but of the one race we all constitute — the human race.

Unfortunately, I have not seen any refutation by Dr Martin Luther King on the content of the speech and am left to wonder then, did he actually agree with the speech and the precepts of family planning?
I am a great fan of Martin Luther king, and was inspired by his letter from Birmingham jail. It was instrumental in my eventual decision to enter the seminary, as I saw this man as a living saint, and saw an example of faith lived out as I believed it ought to be. This brings no joy to my heart, but it serves no purpose to not look at the facts and public records of such individuals. It is really up to the individual to decide what to make of this and go on from there.
Mrs. Coretta Scott King delivered her husband's acceptance speech on his behalf.
Before reading Dr. King's speech, Mrs. King declared, "I am proud tonight to say a word in behalf of your mentor, and the person who symbolizes the ideas of this organization, Margaret Sanger. Because of her dedication, her deep convictions, and for her suffering for what she believed in, I would like to say that I am proud to be a woman tonight."
Planned Parenthood is proud to reprint Dr. King's acceptance speech.
Family Planning — A Special and Urgent Concern
by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Recently, the press has been filled with reports of sightings of flying saucers. While we need not give credence to these stories, they allow our imagination to speculate on how visitors from outer space would judge us. I am afraid they would be stupefied at our conduct. They would observe that for death planning we spend billions to create engines and strategies for war. They would also observe that we spend millions to prevent death by disease and other causes. Finally they would observe that we spend paltry sums for population planning, even though its spontaneous growth is an urgent threat to life on our planet. Our visitors from outer space could be forgiven if they reported home that our planet is inhabited by a race of insane men whose future is bleak and uncertain.
There is no human circumstance more tragic than the persisting existence of a harmful condition for which a remedy is readily available. Family planning, to relate population to world resources, is possible, practical and necessary. Unlike plagues of the dark ages or contemporary diseases we do not yet understand, the modern plague of overpopulation is soluble by means we have discovered and with resources we possess.
What is lacking is not sufficient knowledge of the solution but universal consciousness of the gravity of the problem and education of the billions who are its victims.
It is easier for a Negro to understand a social paradox because he has lived so long with evils that could be eradicated but were perpetuated by indifference or ignorance. The Negro finally had to devise unique methods to deal with his problem, and perhaps the measure of success he is realizing can be an inspiration to others coping with tenacious social problems.
In our struggle for equality we were confronted with the reality that many millions of people were essentially ignorant of our conditions or refused to face unpleasant truths. The hard-core bigot was merely one of our adversaries. The millions who were blind to our plight had to be compelled to face the social evil their indifference permitted to flourish.
After centuries of relative silence and enforced acceptance, we adapted a technique of exposing the problem by direct and dramatic methods. We had confidence that when we awakened the nation to the immorality and evil of inequality, there would be an upsurge of conscience followed by remedial action.
We knew that there were solutions and that the majority of the nation were ready for them. Yet we also knew that the existence of solutions would not automatically operate to alter conditions. We had to organize, not only arguments, but people in the millions for action. Finally we had to be prepared to accept all the consequences involved in dramatizing our grievances in the unique style we had devised.
There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger's early efforts. She, like we, saw the horrifying conditions of ghetto life. Like we, she knew that all of society is poisoned by cancerous slums. Like we, she was a direct actionist — a nonviolent resister. She was willing to accept scorn and abuse until the truth she saw was revealed to the millions. At the turn of the century she went into the slums and set up a birth control clinic, and for this deed she went to jail because she was violating an unjust law. Yet the years have justified her actions. She launched a movement which is obeying a higher law to preserve human life under humane conditions. Margaret Sanger had to commit what was then called a crime in order to enrich humanity, and today we honor her courage and vision; for without them there would have been no beginning. Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by nonviolent direct action may not have been so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her. Negroes have no mere academic nor ordinary interest in family planning. They have a special and urgent concern.
Recently the subject of Negro family life has received extensive attention. Unfortunately, studies have overemphasized the problem of the Negro male ego and almost entirely ignored the most serious element — Negro migration. During the past half century Negroes have migrated on a massive scale, transplanting millions from rural communities to crammed urban ghettoes. In their migration, as with all migrants, they carried with them the folkways of the countryside into an inhospitable city slum. The size of family that may have been appropriate and tolerable on a manually cultivated farm was carried over to the jammed streets of the ghetto. In all respects Negroes were atomized, neglected and discriminated against. Yet, the worst omission was the absence of institutions to acclimate them to their new environment. Margaret Sanger, who offered an important institutional remedy, was unfortunately ignored by social and political leaders in this period. In consequence, Negro folkways in family size persisted. The problem was compounded when unrestrained exploitation and discrimination accented the bewilderment of the newcomer, and high rates of illegitimacy and fragile family relationships resulted.
For the Negro, therefore, intelligent guides of family planning are a profoundly important ingredient in his quest for security and a decent life. There are mountainous obstacles still separating Negroes from a normal existence. Yet one element in stabilizing his life would be an understanding of and easy access to the means to develop a family related in size to his community environment and to the income potential he can command.
This is not to suggest that the Negro will solve all his problems through Planned Parenthood. His problems are far more complex, encompassing economic security, education, freedom from discrimination, decent housing and access to culture. Yet if family planning is sensible it can facilitate or at least not be an obstacle to the solution of the many profound problems that plague him.
The Negro constitutes half the poor of the nation. Like all poor, Negro and white, they have many unwanted children. This is a cruel evil they urgently need to control. There is scarcely anything more tragic in human life than a child who is not wanted. That which should be a blessing becomes a curse for parent and child. There is nothing inherent in the Negro mentality which creates this condition. Their poverty causes it. When Negroes have been able to ascend economically, statistics reveal they plan their families with even greater care than whites. Negroes of higher economic and educational status actually have fewer children than white families in the same circumstances.
Some commentators point out that with present birth rates it will not be long before Negroes are a majority in many of the major cities of the nation. As a consequence, they can be expected to take political control, and many people are apprehensive at this prospect. Negroes do not seek political control by this means. They seek only what they are entitled to and do not wish for domination purchased at the cost of human misery. Negroes were once bred by slave owners to be sold as merchandise. They do not welcome any solution which involves population breeding as a weapon. They are instinctively sympathetic to all who offer methods that will improve their lives and offer them fair opportunity to develop and advance as all other people in our society.
For these reasons we are natural allies of those who seek to inject any form of planning in our society that enriches life and guarantees the right to exist in freedom and dignity.
For these constructive movements we are prepared to give our energies and consistent support; because in the need for family planning, Negro and white have a common bond; and together we can and should unite our strength for the wise preservation, not of races in general, but of the one race we all constitute — the human race.

SOCIOPATHS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
George Offerman
The news is coming out that the White House not only knew about the early release of the Lockerbie bomber, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, but actually may have participated in a prisoner for drilling swap with the Libyans and BP. By virtue of using this particular individual, the White House has sunk to one of the lowest levels one can even imagine, and yet they are now out there covering for their lies. If proven to be true, this would be depravity taken to the lowest possible degree, even by the horrible standards of this group of sociopaths in the White House
It is one thing to have been really surprised by this release, but it is a totally different matter when the release was negotiated and bargained for, and then outright lied about when the facts emerge. This thug knowingly blew up a plane that was carrying nearly all Americans, and many were young co-eds from the University of Syracuse. The fact that this White House is going out of its way to appease Muslims is most disgusting, and a very obvious slap in the face of most sensible Americans, Christians, and especially the families and friends of the Victims.
Only a group of sociopaths would have participated in, or even thought about such a scheme as this. Only a group of sociopaths would think nothing of lying about the facts to cover their @$$e$, while they then try to lay the blame on others who had nothing to do with this. Only a group of sociopaths would lie, and then accuse those who are telling the truth of being the liars. This group of sociopaths is what the simple majority of Americans elected nearly two years ago and wanted in office. For those who voted for this Chicago-land (Kenyan) Clown: do you like the Change we can all believe in now? From Obamination on down to Sickretary of State Hellery, they all MINIMALLY need to be thrown out of office, if not outright jailed.
How is it that these sociopaths can punish the law abiding by stealing their productivity, and giving it to the law breakers and rewarding their deviancy? The same way they can advocate for the release of a cold blooded murderer in the ‘name of compassion’ while advocating for the blatant slaughter of the most innocent in the name of ‘choice’. How anyone, knowing any of these facts can continue to support these thugs shows how low we have gone on the morality front. It seems that as each day goes by, these sociopaths become more brazen in their contempt for this country, its freedoms, and its people. The only oppression going on in America nowadays is against the law abiding and true citizens. Everyone else is safe, and can do pretty much what they want.
When is enough going to be enough? Where is the line at which the average American will say ‘this is it’? How much crime and pain will we allow these sociopaths to inflict before we give some back in return? This truly is the time to begin looking at civil disobedience as a real option, as the sociopaths in charge see no issue with stealing and using intimidation as a means to obtain their goals. We, as citizens need to start ‘thinking outside the box’ in our responses to these thugs. Freedom requires it.
Britain to ration health care
In a not unpredictable fashion, the British have announced ‘draconian’ health care cuts in the form of rationing, due to budgetary constraints. Why those in Britain are ‘shocked’ is beyond understanding, as they are running out of money, and the elites have seen the common man as nothing better than cattle. This will be the story in America, and we need to note what is happening over seas before this hellish system is up and running. (notice most of the cuts surround end of life issues, elective surgeries, and obesity issues).
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/7908742/Axe-falls-on-NHS-services.html
It is inevitable that we will suffer the same fate, as our debt puts Britain’s to shame. We need to make sure we are doing the best for ourselves, and have as like contact and dependency upon the health care system as possible. After all, our health is our responsibility, and we need to do our best in taking care of our own bodies.

MORE FREEDOMS LOST
George Offerman
We are watching our freedoms being taken away at the speed of light, and these wayward politicians know they can get away with it. The dark powers are getting so close to their master plan that they can taste it, and will only encourage them to move faster. What am I referring to? The recent disclosure of the need to report to the government any purchase above $600, starting Jan 1 2012, which will require a 1099 form, which will REQUIRE you to give your social security number to merchants, with other sensitive information, that will be an identify thieves dream come true. Wal-Mart has also been placing RFID chips on all of their clothing, and thus, your purchase, and you can be traced if one has the ability to scan for these items.
The hell care bill was literally passed in the dead of night (which is where it should have stayed) and Nancy Pelosi openly boasted about passing the bill in order to know what’s in it. That is cronyism at its highest level, and totally intolerable for a supposed elected ‘representative of the people’. Now we know why they had to ‘sneak’ it through (and more nightmares are soon to follow). It explains why these hooligans put in for an additional 16,000 new IRS agents (too bad they did not fund 16,000 new border patrol agents) that will in essence, be tasked with making sure this new tax stream is collected on.
With having to fill out a 1099 form, businesses will be very burdened with the new demands of gathering this sensitive information, and informing the government of all significant purchases by the average American. This leaves very little privacy, and disallows for any significant purchases of anything, especially gold and silver (and guns). The government will then have the tools to ‘confiscate’ any of these items, as they know who has what, and where it is. (And don’t you believe for a moment they will not abuse this power). This provision has no business being in a hell care bill, and needs to be repealed. There is a movement in both Houses to repeal this section of the hell care bill, and we need to support them in this.
There is no valid reason for the government sticking their snot ridden bureaucratic noses in any more of our business and personal affairs. Their excuse is to capture ‘lost tax revenue’ to pay for the takeover of the healthcare sector that no one wants. The IRS needs to collect all of the unpaid taxes from the income stream of the PRIVATE Federal Reserve, since its inception in 1913. That amount alone would wipe out most of the debt, and bring about true parity of ‘everyone paying their fair share”. But it won’t happen. We need to be involved in the political world now more than ever, and if we don’t and things continue on as is, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
Wal-Mart is ready to open Pandora’s Box by utilizing RFID chips. Where Wal-Mart goes, so does the rest of America. This abuse of privacy, along with the majority’s compliance, is only furthering the acceptance of the population to an eventual mark that will be required to participate in everyday commerce. It is unfortunate that we have gone this far in our society, that any breach of privacy can be explained away with the stupidest excuses by the powers that be, and the majority will continue to take it like the sheep they have become. We are watching history repeat itself, yet we claim to be the smartest and most sophisticated people in the best society to ever exist on this planet. It is high time that we do something, or we just might as well go into our cells now. Say no to this abuse, and make a stink about it.
Freedom is a precious thing, and it is taken for granted. Our founding fathers sacrificed too much for it to be given away in such a simplistic manner as it is. The zombified population silently and obediently walks to the slaughter, while believing the whole time life is actually getting better for them. Its time to wake up and make some changes in our lives that will bring back our God given freedoms. Send the dark powers back to hell where they came from and where they deserve to spend eternity.

AN OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR LINDSAY GRAHAM
George Offerman
So, Senator Graham, you decided to be the sole Republican to support the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. You are making a claim that it is in the best interest to proceed with this nomination, as “We lost, and President Obama won.” This has done nothing but cause Obama to now boast that he has ‘bipartisan’ support for this anti life nominee, and you have managed to paint yourself, and other supposed pro life standard bearers as liars and frauds. It is time you start thinking about life after the Senate, because you have sold out the babies for the last time.
You made a personal reference to Ms. Kagan’s sense of humor and that you liked her for it. While this is a good trait for a party or stand up comedian, it is highly irrelevant for a Supreme Court Justice who will be making life and death decisions over the most vulnerable in this society, that you supposedly pledged to uphold. There is no humor about propagating legalized child killing, especially the grisly partial birth abortion procedure, that Kagan had personally endorsed, and placed into an ACOG document while as a Policy Adviser in the Clinton administration.
http://article.nationalreview.com/437296/kagans-abortion-distortion/shannen-w-coffin
You then go on to talk out of both sides of your mouth by declaring that you have a duty as per the Constitution, to not replace or question Obama’s Judgment with your own concerning this nominee, due to having ‘lost this battle’. You then state a little later on that in your judgment, she has passed all of the ‘scrutiny’ that should be required of a nominee, which would seem to indicate you do, in fact, count on your own judgment (in certain instances, when convenient). So, it seems you can run for office on a pro life plank, which is based upon your supposed personal beliefs, and then leave them outside the door, when politically; it looks like you lost, and use the constitution to justify this action? Evidently, you must see judgments and personal convictions as relative, and can be disposed of depending upon the particular circumstances. Unfortunately, babies cannot be resurrected from the dead and change their status to living as you seem willing to change your positions on your beliefs.
You also state that Ms. Kagan seems to understand that ‘we are at war’. The one who seems to not understand we are at war appears to be you, Senator Graham. We are at war for the soul of our country, and the essence of our soul is the very basic right to life. You claim to uphold this, while Obama and nearly all of his appointments have consistently upheld the culture of death. Ms. Kagan, by her own admission, thinks like Obama, and we should be real clear by now how Obama thinks of this issue. Senator Graham, the taking of the most innocent of lives is THE CAUSE of wars, and other tribulations our country is facing. Your assertion that you will have plenty of opportunities to ‘disagree’ with the president, does not carry the moral gravity of legalized child killing, and your statement justifying your position in supporting this woman is nothing short of cowardice, and selling out your supposed beliefs.
It is becoming too much of a common mantra for Republicans like you to run on the plank of pro life, only to be sold down the river when it is time to stand up and act statesman like. You then come back with false humility, and attempt to sell your cowardice as bravely fighting for the cause. You may think that you have four years to let this betrayal ‘settle down’, and run for re election in 2014, but I can assure you Sir, many of us will not forget, and we will be there come re election time. You can COUNT ON THAT as an election promise.
Senator Graham, your career as a Senator is finished. There are those of us willing to spend the next four years fighting you, and I am sure there are plenty of good people in South Carolina who are as sick of you selling out as those outside of your state. Our country is at a most critical juncture in its existence, and desperately needs those willing to stand up for what is right, moral and ethical, and you, Sir, do not meet the bill. Therefore you must go.

HERMENEUTICS 101: FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE AND MYSTERY RELIGIONS
George Offerman
***warning to reader***
This posting is going to address topics that will explore areas that should not be tampered with. The occult and mystery religions are not to be toyed with, and can have lasting effects during this lifetime as well as eternal if accessed.
The thirst for knowledge is central in the struggle of man in his current state of sin. Wanting to know the future, coupled with the obsession of avoiding death and the desire for paradise is deeply honed into man’s psyche. It transcends time and society, and is evidenced everywhere in history. We also have ample evidence that many will ‘sell their soul’ to tap into the esoteric and mystical aspects of our reality, but they ultimately pay a much larger price for this knowledge than they can ever imagine.
Forbidden Knowledge
Forbidden knowledge is somewhat distinct from the secret knowledge of the mystery religions, in that it is publicly accessible, and the methods by which it is accessed are becoming more acceptable and mainstreamed. Forbidden knowledge opens doors to evil and the realm of the demonic world, which is spiritual, a well as superior to the empirical world we exist in. The spiritual realm exists with an order that parallels our world, and once one enters that realm, he is subject to the laws that govern this realm. In other words, if one tampers with powers greater than his abilities, he is subject to those powers, and these powers have rights over him.
This forbidden knowledge is clearly spelled out in the Bible. The prime example is God’s warning to Adam and Eve, to not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God’s warning had to do with sparing Adam and Eve, and by extension, humanity from the curse of sin. It was also a test of free will to see if Adam and Eve would freely worship God out of love, versus fear and coercion that Satan has accused God of. This act began the age of sin, and the beginnings of the pursuit of knowledge that has resulted in the advancement of sin.
At the fall of man, the nature of knowledge took a turn. God propagated open knowledge and has laid out the terms of salvation for all to see and know. Satan, has hidden his knowledge, and has used the curiosity factor in enticing man to follow his ways. Satan has also abused his authority of being the prince of this world in ‘rewarding’ those following in his path to deceive those into believing the ‘light bearer’ actually has more earthly authority than the Living God in Heaven. In essence, ‘crime pays’, as evil advances with apparent ease, and those following God are persecuted and seemed to be vilified. It is in this matter, that many men fall prey to learning about the esoteric ways and explore realities they have no business interacting with.
Forbidden knowledge involves matters that attempt to glean the future, contacting the dead, manipulating the environment and people for illicit gains, and all other matters that discredit the sanctity and Holiness of God, and call into question his word as revealed in the Bible. The methods of accessing forbidden knowledge ranges from items that appear harmless, such as horoscopes, movies, like Harry Potter that glorify witchcraft, new age practices that touch upon meditation and entering altered states of consciousness, to the more occult in séances, Ouija boards, palm readings, tarot cards, satanic symbolism, certain types of music, psychedelic drugs, the practice of white magic, and practicing of Wicca and other dark arts that call upon the realm of the demonic for power. These forces are very real, and ‘playing’ with them can result in anything from mood swings to demonic possession. Any form of this occultist material should be removed from the home immediately, and destroyed.
Mystery religions
A mystery religion, unlike forbidden knowledge is a closed system. The nature of mystery religions is the passing on of hidden or esoteric knowledge to an elite inner core for the sole purpose of controlling other people and the environment. There is usually a continuous recruit by the particular groups, and the initiate enters at the basic level, to be tested by the elders and elites. There is deliberate disinformation propagated at this level and the main purpose is to cover for the real purpose and existence of this group. The group from the outside, is always painted as harmless (like the current Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission), and any violation of protocol at the initiate level is expulsion from the group. The group maintains loyalty through ‘brainwashing’ the individual to ‘appreciate’ the privilege of being considered for the group, and pledges of moving up in the ranks if found ‘worthy (Freemasonry).
Mystery religions worship a deity, and without exception, it is the devil (sometimes recognized a such, but not in all). There are the themes of the fall, the need for a savior, resurrection and salvation. Many of the initiation rites play out mock deaths and practice psychological breakdowns to access very personal information that can be used, if needed to ‘keep wayward’ members in line (Skull and Bones). Once one has reached the inner circle and has accessed the true nature of the esoteric, there is no way out other than death, as this is seen as the ultimate betrayal, and would expose the true nature of the group to the outside world. That is why all satanic worship is secret and guarded very well.
For the sake of time, the mystery religion that exists today will be covered. This is an anti Christian form of esoteric knowledge, and is in direct contrast to the Bible and what is believed in the open. The core belief of the anti Christian mystery religions centers around the conflict between God and Lucifer, the ‘light bearer’. In short, Lucifer questioned God’s authority and accused God of being a ‘cosmic bully’ in that God restricted certain activities, and truly did not give or allow beings to exercise free will. Lucifer was able to convince one third of the angels to rebel against this ‘tyranny’ and in effect was cast out of heaven upon losing this first insurrection.
Upon being cast down, Lucifer became Satan, and began to practice and violate the few restrictions placed upon all created beings, and used his free will (Which Satan still insists he does not have) to corrupt creation. Satan, as the father of lies, has been able to convince God’s creation, man, that God is truly evil, is a tyrant, and can be defeated. Satan, as prince of this world, has the cosmic authority to give to whomever he pleases, and by granting wealth upon his closest followers, assures allegiance and loyalty. This system also persecutes the righteous, and gives the appearance that God is a liar, in that righteousness is not rewarded, and that God is not actively involved in day to day life and that ultimately, Satan is more powerful than God.
Satan, in giving God’s creation and gifts to his followers (through thievery) appears to be the ‘light bearer’ and appears to be benevolent, kind and caring (traits Satan hates about God) while subtly passing on ‘knowledge’ that scarcity is the reality, that these elite deserve to have control over their fellow man, that they are entitled to be the masters of the earth, and live lavish lives. Satan has also promised a share in his kingdom (when) God is defeated (the future Babylon), and ‘guarantees’ paradise and peace. In the teachings, reincarnation and/or immortality are taught as being attainable, and are central tenets of the religion, along with the ‘special knowledge’ of attaining this state. Christianity, the ultimate enemy of the mystery religions and secret societies, is under constant attack and debunked at every opportunity. By undermining Christianity, this group is able to advance their agenda with little resistance.
The very modern version of the mystery religions has managed to infect society with such concepts as evolution, that discredits God as creator, relativism, that questions all belief systems and makes all equal, and the idea that scarcity is the rule of thumb, and that for the survival of mankind, the population must be controlled, and scarce resources must be rationed. This will take ‘overlords’ to accomplish this and Satan has the authority to give this to whom he pleases. So, from our current perspective, it looks like evil wins, and it gives credibility to the false premises sown by Satan. This system, however, has an end point, and will not go on forever.
Forbidden knowledge and the mystery religions are satanic and straight from hell. They are to be avoided at all costs, and serve no other purpose than to bring death and destruction to those who partake of this ‘forbidden fruit’. But there is a need to at least be aware of these forces to understand the times we live in, and to gauge our own actions and beliefs concerning the very influential aspects of these beliefs. The Georgia ‘guide stones’ are the perfect example of the goals of the modern mystery religions, and it is there or all to see. The dark powers are becoming bolder in their moves, and are becoming fairly open as to what they are up to. The dark powers are near transparent in their endeavors, and are getting very close to their goals of a one world government as dictated to them by their demonic master.
***warning to reader***
This posting is going to address topics that will explore areas that should not be tampered with. The occult and mystery religions are not to be toyed with, and can have lasting effects during this lifetime as well as eternal if accessed.
The thirst for knowledge is central in the struggle of man in his current state of sin. Wanting to know the future, coupled with the obsession of avoiding death and the desire for paradise is deeply honed into man’s psyche. It transcends time and society, and is evidenced everywhere in history. We also have ample evidence that many will ‘sell their soul’ to tap into the esoteric and mystical aspects of our reality, but they ultimately pay a much larger price for this knowledge than they can ever imagine.
Forbidden Knowledge
Forbidden knowledge is somewhat distinct from the secret knowledge of the mystery religions, in that it is publicly accessible, and the methods by which it is accessed are becoming more acceptable and mainstreamed. Forbidden knowledge opens doors to evil and the realm of the demonic world, which is spiritual, a well as superior to the empirical world we exist in. The spiritual realm exists with an order that parallels our world, and once one enters that realm, he is subject to the laws that govern this realm. In other words, if one tampers with powers greater than his abilities, he is subject to those powers, and these powers have rights over him.
This forbidden knowledge is clearly spelled out in the Bible. The prime example is God’s warning to Adam and Eve, to not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God’s warning had to do with sparing Adam and Eve, and by extension, humanity from the curse of sin. It was also a test of free will to see if Adam and Eve would freely worship God out of love, versus fear and coercion that Satan has accused God of. This act began the age of sin, and the beginnings of the pursuit of knowledge that has resulted in the advancement of sin.
At the fall of man, the nature of knowledge took a turn. God propagated open knowledge and has laid out the terms of salvation for all to see and know. Satan, has hidden his knowledge, and has used the curiosity factor in enticing man to follow his ways. Satan has also abused his authority of being the prince of this world in ‘rewarding’ those following in his path to deceive those into believing the ‘light bearer’ actually has more earthly authority than the Living God in Heaven.

KAGAN'S GETTING IN
George Offerman
The news this morning was rather disturbing but not unexpected, as the spokesman for the senate mentioned that Kagan’s nomination will most likely go to the open floor for a vote later this week without resistance from the subcommittee or any threats of filibusters. If this is accurate, it is truly a sad day for this country, the so called pro life Republicans, and the pro life movement in general.
As Christians, we really need to do a gut check. Do we really believe what the Bible says concerning the shedding of innocent blood? Do we really believe that blood guilt is a valid principle, and that God is not indifferent or neutral when it comes to the blatant and willful destruction of his most innocent of creation? Do we really believe life will ‘go on’ as normal, despite the fact we pay lip service to this holocaust? Are we really that inconsequential to the major stirrings of society and have no place at the table for real input?
It is really sad that little effort was put forth by the Churches and pro life movement to do much about this nominee. Little effort seems to be the status quo for the Church and pro life movement and it seems they would rather isolate themselves by not challenging the society and belief systems on the battle field. Both seem to be content with virtual protests, signing petitions that are never read, and talking and praying in little groups within Churches or homes, where it is safe, and where no one will risk ridicule, embarrassment, or God forbid, ‘offending’ someone with Biblical truth.
When one reads the Bible and considers the main players, including Jesus himself, they all had one thing in common: they were in the midst of the battlefield, declaring the truth without apology and with a boldness and authority that even the enemy admired. This is very absent in the Christian and pro life communities, and it does seem like there is a level of embarrassment in proclaiming what is the truth. We have not been trained as warriors, and as a result, don’t know how to train warriors ourselves. Our churches compound the problems by diluting the truth in order to ‘draw more in’. Lies will never be truth, no matter how much spin is applied.
What’s the next move for us? Well, to start, we must defund all of the wimpy Churches, pro life groups and politicians that pay lip service to the pro life cause, to the principles of our founding fathers and this country, and ultimately to those individuals and organizations that mock the Christian faith and refuse to teach the truth. We then need to find mentors willing to coach us in the faith and how to stand up and defend truth. We then need to engage the enemy in the battlefield take no prisoners and make no apologies for what we believe in. This will take courage, but the Lord will supply it if one only walks in Faith and acts on this. Since few have tried, few can really discuss this with any real authority, and those that have walked the Faith, are greatly ridiculed for it. But they are to be greatly rewarded for it, and the reward is eternal.
We are all called to greatness, but not in the worldly sense of the word. God thought enough of us to create us, and to place us in the age we live in, to complete a mission that only we are capable of completing. The longer we stall in doing our mission, the more difficult we make it on ourselves, if and when, we get started. These missions, whatever they may be, have to incorporate God’s laws and morality in them, and must address the issues in contemporary society. They also must point to the conversion of sinners, and reconciliation. By doing nothing, we are co conspirators in propagating sin, discord and death.
Kagan’s expected elevation to the Supreme Court is but a symptom of our problems, and lack of resolve to spread the Gospel. It is one more advancement for the dark powers, and one more piece of the battlefield we have acquiesced to the enemy. It just adds to the struggle we will eventually have to participate in, and it will require even more effort to win back than what it would have cost if we had done what we are called to do. With each line breach, we move closer to the abyss and to the point of no return.

THE DARK POWERS
George Offerman
“For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil” 1 Timothy 6:10
“Give me control over a nations currency, and I care not who makes its laws”
Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Founder, House of Rothschild banking dynasty
"Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it" -Memoirs, p.405
David Rockefeller, Council on Foreign Relations, founder, Trilateral Commission, Permanent member, Bilderberg group, Rockefeller foundation, Pilgrims Society.
There are those who believe that an organized evil power does not exist, and hence, put little stock into the possibility that many of the events occurring in society and the world are planned. These people want to believe that most of the happenings are random and unpredictable, and scoff at those who would even consider this to be possible. Unfortunately for those people, the Bible proves them wrong, as does the near transparency of the dark powers movements of today. There are too many events occurring that are moving our society in one direction, in too rapid of a succession to be ‘coincidental’. The only argument I would have with anyone is how much they know, and how quickly or slowly they can move.
There would be credibility to one’s disputing that an organized, evil power could exist if we were simply dealing with human entities. The Bible clearly states we are dealing with ‘powers and principalities”, and we also know from Revelation, after Christ’s resurrection, Satan was banned from Heaven, and was cast down on the earth, full of fury, knowing his ‘time is short’. We also know that Babylon will rise and be the fiercest one world government that has ever existed in history, we know that Satan is behind this, and has the cosmic authority (at least during this point in history) to grant this power to whomever he pleases. One can see with his own eyes if he dares to look, that the formation of Babylon is taking place, just as the Bible predicted, and it is run by evil people in high places, also predicted.
At the core of the dark powers are the money powers. History is replete with examples of the money powers controlling commerce, especially through wars they have started and on multiple occasions, funded both sides. For instance, it has been well researched and documented that the Rockefeller foundation sponsored Hitler’s eugenics program and helped fund his war efforts in collusion with the House of Rothschild. The Rockefeller foundation is also behind the push for vaccines using aborted babies DNA, as well as the genetically modified crops and seeds now permeating our food supply. The Rockefeller foundation is also in the lead in promoting the ‘scarcity’ gospel, and is actively involved in population control as well as in the lead to control all the resources necessary for day to day life. (Remember, the Rockefeller’s fortune was made initially from oil, the old Standard oil company).
The dark powers expand from the inner core of the money powers, and reaches into the realms of the political, intellectual, theological, and informational. Most in these bands are considered ‘useful idiots’ that buy into the false premises of the money powers, but are not privy to the real motives and plans of these evil people. Like the vast majority of secret societies, the lower level initiates are deliberately deceived as a means of control as well as safety for the inner circle. Those found willing and trustworthy may then move into the inner bands and are granted more access to the true inner workings and goals of the money powers. It is within this innermost circle that the true purpose and goals of this band are revealed, and the penalty for betrayal is death.
It is the innermost group that guards what could be considered the esoteric truths, and there are many occult rituals and practices done that give direct access to Satan and his will. (This is most evident at places such as Bohemian Grove in California). The beliefs of this innermost circle follow closely the teachings passed down by the Egyptian mystery religions as well as other sources of forbidden knowledge. This group communicates through use of double meaning symbols, numerology and other methods that tap into the mystical and metaphysical realms. God has strictly forbid entering this realm, as it is the realm of the demonic, and the dark powers tap into this power directly. It is evident in the fact the dark powers are nearly uninhibited in their quest, and it is only under the auspices of Satan that they can achieve the level of success they have managed thus far.
If the majority of those on the peripheral of the dark powers really understood the nature of what they are doing, the majority would leave immediately. The lie is very seductive, and most find the desire to know the future very tantalizing. The dark powers, to its innermost core, are devil worshipers and are constructing the world their master is telling them to. This is in preparation for the coming cosmic battle between God and Satan, and has been predetermined before the foundations of the universe were laid. The dark powers, believing they are on the winning side, brazenly push their agenda, believing they are doing good, and believing they know better than the ‘dumb’ masses. They will soon find out, to their utter destruction, that they are on the wrong side of history.

FILIBUSTER KAGAN TOUR KICK OFF
The filibuster Kagan tour is taking off today, and will begin protesting in various cities starting on Monday July 19th. The schedule of activities is posted below and for any readers of this site who may be within driving distance of these protests is very welcome to join. This is also a great opportunity to support the Insurrecta Nex team as they do what virtually no other pro life group is doing, and that is taking their time, talents and limited treasures in doing God’s work. If you cannot make it to any of these locations, please donate to this cause.
The Insurrecta Nex team has made international news in most of their endeavors. Notre Dame was in the news non stop for 4 days the weekend that Obama spoke, and Obama was forced to address the issue of legalized child killing due mainly to their efforts and subsequent arrests. The team again made international news by being in Rome when hell care was passed, and put out a blunt statement asking for the American Bishops to ex communicate Pelosi and others for violation of church teachings and continuing to receive the Sacraments.
This is a very worthy cause, and the amount of press and pressure on the wayward Senators will be worth the cost that will be incurred. One will not get more ‘bang for the buck’ with any other pro life group, and they definitely are going to get positive traction on this issue, and may actually swing public opinion in pressuring these Senators to carry through on a filibuster.

Dear Pro-life Friend,
In two days (Friday, July 16) we depart for our first stop: Kentucky, the home state of Senator Mitch McConnell.
We are focusing on Senators who have publicly discussed a filibuster, and then backed down. Moreover, Sessions and Graham are on the judiciary committee. And now, Graham is floating the idea that he will vote for Kagan, even though she supports the brutal murder of babies. God save us from such pro-lifers.
We need to create as big a fuss as we can, as soon as we can, for the sake of babies lives.
Even if we lose, it is a fight that duty demands. The babies who will die under Kagan deserve to be fought for now.
Below is our current schedule. If we are going to be near you, I ask that you join us in the streets!
We have a lot to do to get ready,
and a list of specific needs.
I am asking your help if possible.
Remember, there are ten of us traveling in two RVs and one mini-van, including four small boys (and one Sheltie collie named Molly.) This is a large undertaking.
1) We need two GPS devises. We have one, but we need two more. (Contact us if you have a used one that you would like to overnight to us, or if you want to buy a new one and send it to us, or just designate a gift for the purchase of one.)
2) We need two churches to speak at this weekend and next weekend (one for me, and one for the team members. It could be for three minutes at the end of a Catholic Mass, or the end of an evangelical church service. We would then make our literature available. (This weekend in middle Kentucky; next weekend in South Carolina.) If anyone knows a pastor/priest in those areas who is courageous and committed to ending child killing, please contact us right away. (It takes someone with backbone to have us in!)
3) We need people to join us in person at these protests/press conferences; the more the better. They usually last from ½ hour to 1 hour.
4) If you would like to have some of us for dinner, and you live in the area we are traveling through, you could host part or all of the team for a meal.
5) We need money for gas – three vehicles – two of which get about 7 miles per gallon! So, your gift of $25 will buy approximately 9 gallons of gas, and get one of the RVs about 60 miles down the road – depending on hills, and air-conditioning!
Click here to donate for gas and food.
6) We need money for RV parks, and for food. Fortunately, RV parks are WAY cheaper than hotels. For example, our first stay – for three nights – is only $250 total for both RVs, and all the family and team members (ten people). Think of how much it would cost for hotel rooms.
7) We need lots of prayer that our travel will be safe, free of accident or sickness. And we ask you to pray that God grants us favor with the media and press, so that we can herald the cause of the babies through the press, and hold the GOP Senators accountable to its words about protecting human life.

The Insurrecta Nex team has made international news in most of their endeavors. Notre Dame was in the news non stop for 4 days the weekend that Obama spoke, and Obama was forced to address the issue of legalized child killing due mainly to their efforts and subsequent arrests. The team again made international news by being in Rome when hell care was passed, and put out a blunt statement asking for the American Bishops to ex communicate Pelosi and others for violation of church teachings and continuing to receive the Sacraments.
This is a very worthy cause, and the amount of press and pressure on the wayward Senators will be worth the cost that will be incurred. One will not get more ‘bang for the buck’ with any other pro life group, and they definitely are going to get positive traction on this issue, and may actually swing public opinion in pressuring these Senators to carry through on a filibuster. Please give generously.

BE PREPARED
George Offerman
Preparation, whether for something as simple as an outing in the sun, to major disasters requires that one contemplate a situation and try to ascertain the most likely outcome. Then it requires action, and effort to secure the means to ensure preparation is as complete as possible. The whole process of preparation however, is predicated on belief and probability of an event that is at least proportional to the effort it will take to secure the proper preparations.
In looking at many of the challenges we are facing in our society, there seems to be little preparation for what appears to be near certain ‘storms’. It is as if people are unplugged from the reality they see around them, yet do not want to believe what they see. So, many will ridicule those who are attempting to warn them of the storms, and they would rather continue on in their world of make believe and comfort. (Spiritdaily.com covers this point in an article today)
http://www.smartplanet.com/people/blog/pure-genius/a-disaster-is-coming-youre-not-prepared/4178/
The preparations refereed to falls into broad categories. For instance, the vast majority of the pro life groups are not at all discussing a filibuster against Kagan, nor paying much attention to the limited avenues in which to stop activities that are detrimental to our freedoms and way of life. It is business as usual for them, and the main concern is to push some token effort, and generate fund raising letters to sponsor the next token gesture that will garner little to no activity. The pro life movement is not prepared for victory, nor does it seem the movement believes victory is possible.
The pro life movement is only symptomatic of the general status of nearly all aspects of our society. Most people are unconcerned and don’t want to be bothered by legalized child killing, and react about the same way when it comes to the financial disaster ready to strike this country. We then have the government stealing our resources and freedoms faster than anything we have ever witnessed, and the majority is too concerned over where LeBron is going to play next. We have general breakdowns in most areas of our lives, and people still are not taking the current situation seriously. What is it going to take to wake America up? Does America even care anymore?
These same people, when the disasters strike, will be like lost sheep, and will run over the cliff. This is such an avoidable fate for the majority, but it seems evident that most don’t want the discomfort and inconvenience of thinking about it, yet acting on it. This is what is going to make the crisis so much worse, and the chaos ensuing so dangerous. Fear filled people are dangerous people. They are also unpredictable and irrational and that does not bode well either. It is also the perfect ‘takeover’ point for the dark powers, and they have been waiting and planning for this time for quite a while.
I have mentioned in previous postings that we can win this struggle, but it will take immediate and decisive action by many. This opportunity is very time limited, and there seems to be early indications that few are acting on this. We do not have the time and luxury to waste our resources on frivolous matters and spending money on things that are fleeting. We sure don’t have time to worry about where Lebron is going to play, or who is going to win the next American Idol contest. The distractions are too tempting for the majority, and it seems as long as they are fed their pabulum, life will be ‘fine’ despite all the evidence that our way of life is going to hell in a hand basket.
It is time to wake up. It is time to fight back. But more than anything, it is time to prepare for the worst. The fewer who plan and follow through, the worse it will be, because the near certainty of painful events is not being met proportionally with preparation to match the intensity of what is to come. Open your eyes and take in the current scene: it is very dangerous and unstable. Trust what you see, and act on it. Do this for the ones you love.

HERMENEUTICS 101: GOD AND SATAN
George Offerman
To properly understand the real purpose of the Bible, it is imperative to understand the powers behind the stories and lessons that the Bible references. The Bible, after all is a chronology of the age of sin, man’s struggle with sin, and redemption. It is the struggle between good and evil, with good triumphing in the end, but a struggle whose outcome was predetermined before it even started. Unlike what the natural religions teach, as well as many of the mystery religions, good and evil are not complimentary forces, nor are they equal. This is the absolute baseline in hermeneutics in understanding and interpreting scriptures, and without this, the Bible cannot be properly understood or interpreted.
The nature of God
God, as referenced in the Bible is Trinitarian, and is three separate, but equal persons. God also has three characteristics that no other being in the universe has. God is omnipotent, meaning all powerful. God is omnipresent, meaning He is everywhere all the time, and God is omniscient, meaning all knowing. As David referenced in the Psalms “I go to the highest mountain, and you are there, lowest part of the sea, and you are there. God is watching what we do and what we think while simultaneously holding together the smallest particle of matter in the furthest part of the universe.
The Bible also describes God as all loving, benevolent, and all of His actions result in ultimate good and redemption of his children. God is very involved in the lives of those He created, and knows the beginning from the end. God sees all faults and sins, and still desires the best for us, and His desire for us is to spend eternity with Him.
God is unchanging, is just and merciful, and has a set order in the universe, as well as a set order of morality and law. God keeps perfect account of all thoughts and actions, and they are weighed based upon His law and dealt with either by mercy or justice, depending on how the created show mercy and justice to others.
God ultimately is the greatest purveyor of free will. God does not force any of his creation to worship him, or to obey his laws. God is longsuffering, willing to endure severe pain inflicted upon him by creation, in order to save them. God gives abundantly from his handiwork, and blesses those who choose to be in his will in ways they cannot even begin to imagine.
The nature of Satan
Satan as depicted in the Bible was the highest created being, and was only accountable to God. As a created being, Lucifer does not have the attributes of God and is not omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, and thus, has to learn or speculate in order to advance his agenda. Unlike the trinity, Satan is by himself and as such, does not require unified thoughts and behaviors, and does as he pleases. Satan also has no creative powers, and thus, only has the ability to destroy, earning the moniker ‘the destroyer’ in scriptures.
Satan is filled with hatred, is all evil, selfish, deceptive, destructive, malevolent, jealous, possessive, backstabbing, double-crossing, accusatory and overall life taking. Satan is not capable of compassion, or any other experience the majority of mankind can relate to, and Satan is involved intimately with his people to do his will, but in a forced and calculated way, and then disposes of them once his purpose is completed. Satan’s goal is for man to be accountable and atone for his own sin, so that man ends up in hell with Satan being the master over him for eternity.
Satan has no sense of justice or mercy, and uses both injustices and unmerciful actions to create anger and discord among humans, and breed contempt for all that is good. Satan operates on a whim, and is only consistent in demanding total allegiance to his evil and twisted will. Satan is not capable of fairness, and will punish any and all harshly for the slightest of infractions. Satan uses lies to ‘con’ people into doing his will, then accuses them of horrendous crimes that can never be forgiven by the so called ‘Benevolent God’.
Satan is the ultimate enemy of free will, and desires to possess and control those under his influence. Unlike God, Satan offers little and demands much. Satan is the vilest of taskmasters, loading his slaves with more than they can bear, while constantly chastising with hate and conveying a sense of hopelessness. Satan demands instant gratification, and has no concern for the well being of those he demands it from. Satan is the ultimate taker, and has no chance of ever changing, and has no desire to do so. This is the basis of the hellish gospel of scarcity.
God versus Satan
Comparing Satan to God is like comparing the Sears Tower to a grain of sand. The problem is, that God is diminished in stature by being compared to the Sears Tower, and Satan is given too much credibility and esteem by giving him the stature of a grain of sand. Yet the world embraces and bought into the idea that good and evil are equal and necessary forces. There are plenty of religious systems that promote this concept, and the mystery religions take it a step further and promote the dark and forbidden knowledge over Biblical precepts, and the ‘supposed positive attributes’ of God.
The Bible spells out the reality that God is in control, and always has been, and always will be. The age of sin is time limited, and ultimately will end at the great white throne judgment after the millennial rest. Satan, as a created being, exists within the timeframe of history, while God exists in perpetuity in all times. Satan can only be in one place at a time, while God is in all places all of the time. Satan can only guess and postulate what God is up to, while God has written history before history began. Satan can only destroy, while God creates and renews. Satan can only possess by stealing God’s handiwork, while God gives freely of His creation to His creation.
There is no comparison between God and Satan other than both are spirits. Evil will be totally destroyed when history comes to a close, along with all of those who promoted it. All of the knowledge, sophistication, scarcity and other deceptions, lies and propaganda will be destroyed, and those that man had admired and seen as heroes while on earth will be seen in the true light of what they actually are. At the close of the age, all will clearly understand what occurred while on this sojourn through this life, and those destined for eternal bliss, will experience the joy that is deserved in being with the God of the universe, and those destined for eternal damnation, will experience the pain and suffering of paradise lost.
Those who give into evil, or join it, are on the wrong side of history. It is the inferior side, the side that represents death, destruction, poverty, scarcity, deception, iniquity, fear and isolation. The Bible is clear that siding with Satan will result in destruction. God has stated this clearly and consistently through the prophets and his son, Jesus. This is the clearest and most basic teaching of the Bible, and if it is untrue, or proven to be fraudulent, Christianity would collapse upon itself. By virtue it has survived and thrived, it again proves Jesus’ words that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, and it will remain here on earth until the end of time.
To properly understand the real purpose of the Bible, it is imperative to understand the powers behind the stories and lessons that the Bible references. The Bible, after all is a chronology of the age of sin, man’s struggle with sin, and redemption.

There are plenty of religious systems that promote this concept, and the mystery religions take it a step further and promote the dark and forbidden knowledge over Biblical precepts, and the ‘supposed positive attributes’ of God.
The Bible spells out the reality that God is in control, and always has been, and always will be. The age of sin is time limited, and ultimately will end at the great white throne judgment after the millennial rest. Satan, as a created being, exists within the timeframe of history, while God exists in perpetuity in all times. Satan can only be in one place at a time, while God is in all places all of the time. Satan can only guess and postulate what God is up to, while God has written history before history began. Satan can only destroy, while God creates and renews. Satan can only possess by stealing God’s handiwork, while God gives freely of His creation to His creation.
There is no comparison between God and Satan other than both are spirits. Evil will be totally destroyed when history comes to a close, along with all of those who promoted it. All of the knowledge, sophistication, scarcity and other deceptions, lies and propaganda will be destroyed, and those that man had admired and seen as heroes while on earth will be seen in the true light of what they actually are. At the close of the age, all will clearly understand what occurred while on this sojourn through this life, and those destined for eternal bliss, will experience the joy that is deserved in being with the God of the universe, and those destined for eternal damnation, will experience the pain and suffering of paradise lost.
Those who give into evil, or join it, are on the wrong side of history. It is the inferior side, the side that represents death, destruction, poverty, scarcity, deception, iniquity, fear and isolation. The Bible is clear that siding with Satan will result in destruction. God has stated this clearly and consistently through the prophets and his son, Jesus. This is the clearest and most basic teaching of the Bible, and if it is untrue, or proven to be fraudulent, Christianity would collapse upon itself. By virtue it has survived and thrived, it again proves Jesus’ words that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, and it will remain here on earth until the end of time.

OUR VERY CONFUSED SOCIETY
George Offerman
It is with great irony that there are those who are speaking of ridding society of air conditioning, after one of the hottest spells in the D.C. area. This would be very laughable if it weren’t for the fact that these green weenies are dead serious about it. It seems these are the same people who insist issues like legalized child killing are matters of ‘privacy’ and ‘we cannot dictate what a woman does with her body’. Now we have these very confused idiots now telling us they, in fact, do have a right to tell us what to do with our bodies.
If one remembers going back several years, Europe had a very stifling heat wave. It was reported that over 30,000 elderly passed away, due to the excessive heat, and the various governments did nothing to help in this situation, and in fact, forbid emergency assistance, due to violating some ‘green’ laws. So, in the name of saving the planet, 30,000 elderly paid the ultimate price. They didn’t have the right to protect their own bodies, despite the fact the technology existed but the ability (and right) to do so was denied them. If the greenie weenies take over, we will see this in our country. Is this what we want?
People like the greenie weenies are very confused, but also dangerous. They are dangerous because they are very active in pushing their agenda, and they believe they are smarter and more sophisticated than the rest of us. But the larger problem is we do not push back, and these ‘useful idiots’ of the money powers end up getting what they want, and subjecting the quiet and compliant masses to these bizarre restrictions and to the new and unproven religion of global warming and other BS that supposedly passes for science.
We will never see these people show the least amount of compassion for the unborn, because truth be told, the vast majority of liberals and the greenie weenies actually HATE PEOPLE. They are not in the least bit interested in anyone’s well being except their own, and find so little meaning in their pathetic lives that they must project their existential angst onto others. They rejoice in the destruction of the unborn, the destruction of the family, the destruction of industry and capitalism, and even to a large extent, the destruction of the environment if it suits their cause. These are very sick people, and should be medicated for their mental illness.
These people do not understand limits and have little to no perception concerning what is right and just, and moral. The latest example of confusion and imposition of wills is most glaring in the case of the University of Illinois professor, who was just terminated by the University, for explaining the Catholic doctrine concerning homosexuality. This was done via e-mail, and not in a classroom situation, and the professor was simply clarifying the official position of the Catholic Church on what should be a clear teaching.
Instead of backing this professor, Robert McKim, Chairman of the department of Religion, had Professor Kenneth Howell dismissed from his position. Subsequently, the Diocese of Peoria then dismissed Dr. Howell from his diocesan position. Neither the University of Illinois nor the diocese of Peoria are commenting, but seem to be complicit with the gay, lesbian and transgender goofballs who are at the crux of this firing. Again, Church teaching undermined by wimps so as to not offend the fruits, flakes and nuts.
It is extremely sad that some sniveling little brat complained to a group of God haters that want to spread their immorality everywhere. The University and Church complied with the degenerates, and a man, who was doing his job, is now in a crisis that truly should not have occurred. These same people insist upon THEIR RIGHT to free speech, but let no one dare to even challenge their sacred harlot without expecting to be attacked in the end. These people are absolutely sick, and could care less that this man’s livelihood was taken away because they didn’t want to hear about Church teachings, and believe they know better, and have a right to do and say whatever they want. May they get their just rewards from the Living God they despise, and soon.
Both stories reflect the sickness these evil people have, and show the depth of depravity they have in ‘shoving’ their hellish gospel down our throats. They claim to be lovers of truth and people, compassionate and caring, and want the best for everyone. They are some of the biggest liars and frauds on this planet, and actually want anything resembling true Christianity driven from society, along with those that believe in it. If you want to know what the face of evil looks like, look no further than these groups and social movements.

CALL FOR A KAGAN FILIBUSTER NOW!
George Offerman
Now that we know the weak and sellout weenie Republicans are backing off on the filibuster, it is time for the pro life leadership to call these people out. I have been in the pro life movement since 1982, and it has always been understood that the Supreme Court has been ‘ground zero’ in the fight to overturn Roe and Doe. It goes beyond any words in the English language, to describe the inaction, sellout, and deliberate dereliction of duty by our elected officials, nearly all of the pro life groups, and especially the Churches.
Kagan has got to be one of the most unqualified individuals to ever be nominated for the Supreme Court. She is also a ‘very good friend’ of the Anointed One, and once described the anointed one as being ‘transparent, honest, full of integrity and you get what you see”. Well we know where that has gone, don’t we? This woman worships at the table of Fabian Socialism, and her heroes, who were both justices and were extreme activists and one was from Israel, and believed in laws that are contrary to our constitution and Bill of Rights. And we are doing little to nothing to stop this?
Kagan outright lied about the situation of removing military recruiters from the Harvard campus, and was called out on this. Kagan also refused to answer straight forward questions pertaining to contemporary issues, and was blasted by the likes of Orrin Hatch and others, only to have them turn tail and sell out. This woman has a checkered past in both her personal and professional life, and is about to be appointed to a lifetime position that will end up very detrimental to this country, as well as the babies, who will continue to shed their blood in the name of convenience and ‘personal rights’.
Now, for those ‘pro life’ Senators, especially Kyl, McConnell, Sessions, Graham and Hatch: Do not have the audacity to call yourself pro life advocates. You have brought shame and embarrassment to what is truly pro life, you have sold out the babies for the sake of convenience, and you have no fear of God’s law, which you so adamantly claim to be following. Do not claim that you are representing the Christian way of life, do not claim you are sticking to your ‘core beliefs’ concerning life, do not claim that incremental change is the prescribed way of doing business when it comes to legalized child killing, and especially do not claim you are in, or represent the party of God. Your lack of will in filibustering this extremely liberal and unqualified nominee is one of the greatest injustices of your careers, and has only deadly ramifications to it, which will soon play out.
For all those ‘pro life’ groups who constantly fund raise, promising that your donations are helping ‘us win the war’: Where are you? Have you all not preached that the Supreme Court is the most direct route in abolishing legalized child killing? Why are there not busloads of your groups coming to the capitol to protest this, and to demand this charade end? Where is your sense of Christian duty when it comes to showing up on the real battlefield (hint: doing virtual protests and signing petitions that will never be read). Where is your true conviction when it comes to the very obvious fight that needs to be fought? Why are you taking shots at those few who are actually willing to be on the battlefield and actually cause a ‘crisis of consciousness’ in those that need to be called out on their bad behaviors and contradictory philosophies? Where do you get off believing you have the ‘moral high ground’ when your (in) action is resulting in more babies deaths?
Where are you Bishops, Shepherds, Priests, Ministers and other Church Leaders on this great injustice and abomination that stinks to the high heavens? Where is your fearless leadership and clear teachings to lead the faithful to victory over this curse? Where is your passion and conviction in this matter? No, unfortunately the Church has voluntarily muzzled itself with the IRS and is compliant to the commands and demands of the god/state. The Church has taken its marching orders from them, and has been given its coveted 501 C 3 status, and is quite content to give lip service to the supposed ‘crisis of the century’. These Senators ought to be thrown out of all their Faith communities, but will instead be rewarded by them, and will be praised for their milquetoast and yellow bellied ‘efforts’. The lukewarm calling the mediocre “heroes’.
In the mean time, the real battlefield is nearly devoid of real warriors, and the majority of Christians, once again will be MIA on the real battle field. There will be plenty of excuses why this is, and those unwilling to engage in battle will be hypercritical of those with the God given sense to fight this fight. This is why the country is finished. This is why Satan laughs at us. This is why the milquetoast and yellow bellied politicians pay no attention to the pro life movement. This is exactly why there is no fear of God by this godless society, and why there is no end in sight for this curse.

KAGAN FILIBUSTER ROAD TRIP
I am asking the readers to please take some time and go through this whole posting, and take in what the insurrecta team is going to attempt to do. I am also encouraging you to donate to this very worthy cause, as you will get the most ‘bang’ for your buck, and this ‘road trip’ will get a lot of press. Thank You in advance.
Randall A. Terry
Founder, Operation Rescue
Coming up: We are Taking a Nine-Day, Eleven City
“Filibuster Kagan” Tour from July 16-25 in our Two RVs.
We Just Finished a Week of Protests Against Kagan
Urging Republican Senators to Filibuster Her.
We Will Hold Press Conferences and Protests in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and South Carolina – My Family and Staff!
Dear Friend,
I write in great haste. My family and I and our great team of warriors are leaving in our two RVs for a 2,000 mile trip to stir up trouble against Kagan, and defend the babies lives.
The only way there will be a fight–
Is if we make one.
I will not take the time to belabor just how bad Elena Kagan would be on the Supreme Court. You certainly are reading or watching the news on this nominee. Suffice to say, she would be the most militant supporter of child-killing on the court, as well as the most militant supporter of the homosexual agenda. (CBS news has reported that she lives in an openly gay relationship at Harvard.)
Is it “Dirty” or “Nasty” to Filibuster Kagan?
Senator Orrin Hatch – in a tragic display of cowardice and treachery–went on ABC news said that it would be “dirty” and “nasty” if Republicans filibustered Kagan.
This is absurd as well as obscene. These senators have the opportunity to keep “Kagan the Pagan” off of the Supreme Court. It is their ethical, political, and constitutional duty to do so.
But I started thinking–just what does “dirty” and “nasty” mean? Here are various definitions that I found. The way I see it, child killing is dirty and nasty; the militant homosexual agenda is dirty and nasty; and the hideous political stunt that Orrin Hatch played–trying to keep his fellow Republicans from filibustering–that was dirty and nasty.
Here are the definitions I found:
Dirty –
- lacking honesty or moral integrity, especially if the rules of a game or law have been broken;
- characterized by extreme meanness and cruelty;
- behaving in a nasty or despicable way;
- transitive verb - to make something seem less honest or honorable
• to dirty their reputation
Nasty –
- showing spitefulness or malice
• a nasty trick to play on someone
- repugnant - disgusting to the senses
• a nasty smell
- Unpleasant - generally disagreeable, unpleasant, or causing discomfort
- morally offensive or obscene
The truth of the matter is that child-killing is defined by most of the above definitions. What is more despicable, cruel, repugnant, morally offensive and obscene etc., than the brutal murder of innocent babies.
No Senator Hatch, it is not “dirty” and “nasty” to filibuster Elena Kagan.
But it would be dirty – lacking honesty and moral integrity, despicable, and less honorable – to not filibuster her, since she supports the brutal murder of babies, and she will uphold Roe.
And it would be nasty – showing malice, morally offensive, and obscene – if the Republicans do not attempt a filibuster. The Democrats only have 58 votes. The Republicans have a moral obligation – for the babies sakes – to at least fight for a filibuster. This includes McConnell, Graham, and Sessions.
How long will we be lied to by Senators?
If you scan the news over the last two or three months, you’ll see Republican Minority leader Mitch McConnell, as well as John Kyle, Jeff Sessions, and others have “discussed” a filibuster. McConnell and Kyl have recently said, “It is not off the table.” But they lack the will, the passion, the courage to mount the fight. So, we must help them.
Politicians “see the light” when they “feel the heat…”
I do not care…lives are at stake…babies are dying.
I do not care that some say we look radical. If you or I were about to be murdered, we would want people to do whatever they could to save us, even if they looked a little extreme or silly, or even if it was a long shot to save us. We should do the same!
I do not care that some say the Republicans cannot win a filibuster. They need to at least try, for the sake of the lives this woman will snuff out with her vote on the Supreme Court. Some fights are a matter of honor. Some fights are worth losing.
I am grieved and angry at how few groups and leaders are calling on GOP and pro-life Senators to filibuster Kagan. It is despicable. One reason is that they do not want to show how week the movement really is; another reason is that they do not want to show the world that many of our political “pro-life statesmen” are cowards and counterfeits.
We Need Help Right Away for this trip
As I have told you, the summer months are very VERY difficult financially on us. People go on vacations; they don’t open their mail; they are relaxing.
I understand. Everyone deserves a break! But right now, we have a life and death struggle on our hands that deserves passionate attention. And I need your help. We need to raise the money right away to take this tour; in addition, we need to pay our normal… bills, and we need to raise the money to buy a large Mac laptop to take on the road to film, edit, and produce my TV show.
Can You Please Help us Today?
We travel from July 16 – July 25.
You are getting this letter just before we leave, or perhaps when we are in the midst of this trip. I am asking you a huge favor…
Will you please take a few moments right now and send in whatever gift you can send? If you are a senior citizen, struggling to make ends meet, please…just pray for us. That is a HUGE blessing.
But if you can afford to send $50 or $100 – or more – please do so right away.
We will have one member of our team opening and depositing the gifts, so that we can fund this trip as we go, and pay the pressing bills we have back here right now!
This trip will cost at least $4,000, but we will get many times that in media coverage for the babies. Please Help Today if you Can.
We have pressing bills here, plus the cost of this battle.
God bless you, and Long life to you,
Randall Terry
P.S. Watch our tour on my TV show at www.TerryCast.com. We will broadcast Monday through Friday at 4:30 P.M. at www.TerryCast.com. I urge you; hold a protest in your community against Kagan.

This trip will cost at least $4,000, but we will get many times that in media coverage for the babies. Please Help Today if you Can.
We have pressing bills here, plus the cost of this battle.
God bless you, and Long life to you,
Randall Terry

GOD'S LONGSUFFERING
George Offerman
Most Christians are unaware of this concept, and most of the Churches do not teach this aspect of God’s character. Given today’s age of relativism, God’s longsuffering is mistakenly seen as tacit acceptance of our ways or of a God that simply will let us do what we want, and who really does not mean what He has stated in the Bible. We bend and twist the Biblical teachings to mean what we want them to mean, and this is usually around justifying lifestyles and morally questionable behaviors that are ‘too disturbing or inconvenient’ to deal with. Mistaking God’s longsuffering with tolerance of our very sinful lifestyles will have very grave consequences.
Last Sunday, there were several people commenting on the ‘graphic’ nature of our signs. I agreed with them, which initially surprised them, but went on to say that the signs point out the reality of dead children, and are not the actual dead children. People were disturbed (and rightly so) in looking at the signs, but the signs only pointed out the reality, and were not the reality themselves. This demonstrated to many, that they truly do not understand the nature of legalized child killing, but more importantly, they don’t want to know about it and don’t want to personally get involved with it.
The Bible clearly teaches harming God’s little ones has very bad consequences, and Jesus stated clearly that it ‘be better they were not born, and to have a millstone around their necks and cast into the deepest part of the ocean’. The graphic nature of Jesus statement (moral/teaching interpretation method of hermeneutics) shows that God is intimately involved in the lives of people, and even the smallest of actions is noted. We have been warned that those who witness evil, have the ability or capacity to do something about it, and choose to do nothing are just as guilty as those who commit the evil. This pretty much spells out nearly the whole Christian community in America.
Our society is ever increasing in its evil, and in essence our Church and most Christians do nothing. The church is the only buffer between us and God, and when the church is derelict in its duty; God then has to take matters into his own hands, thus the term “God breaking into history”. When God breaks into history, there is no mistaking this event as man made, or without some purpose. A few examples of this were the flood, destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, tower of Babel, and ultimately the first sin of Adam and Eve, and subsequent expulsion from the garden. The fulfillment of Revelation will be the bookend to the age of sin, and may be right around the corner.
The longer God appears to stay silent, the bolder humanity gets in its transgressions. We are not witnessing a turn around, and we are surely not seeing the Church taking after the apostles, and ‘getting in the face’ of those instigating the evil. Instead, we are seeing most of the leadership at cozy dinners, comfortable lifestyles, seeking popularity and colluding with these evil men in perpetuating their beliefs that their behaviors are acceptable and for the ‘good of humanity’. Given the buffer is not buffering; a ‘historical’ event or series of events are likely to occur very soon. We need to be prepared for this.
God’s desire is for us to be in heaven with him, not to have comfort and conveniences here, and then end up in hell. (that’s not to say that those in His will cannot have peace and comfort, but those in His will are not pursuing comfort for the sake of comfort). No one can compare the brief lifespan here to eternity, and as the Church used to teach, we are in the Church Militant, and are fighting in a war that has eternal consequences. We need to embrace our role, no matter how uncomfortable, and do the job God sent us down here to do in the first place.
Son, there will be a break in the sinfulness of man. It will be quick as lightening and catch most off guard, as they willfully remain in ignorance. Only then, will it dawn on the masses that there is a Holy God in the heavens, and unlike what the long dead Nietzsche once declared, God will be proven to be very much alive and very active in the activities of man. One definitely does not want to be caught on the wrong side of history when this occurs.
