<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The more things change, the more they stay the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How is it that our government can demonize and castigate whole societies and religions to the point that they justify wars of aggression and cheer on the destruction of innocent people in the name of ‘bringing them freedom and peace”?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the more disturbing question is how is it that a supposed moral and religious country such as ours, can go along, and in some instances, cheer this action on?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have we gone so far that we have lost our ability to know the difference between right and wrong?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Not only has our government declared a series of illegal and immoral wars on several nations, it now seems our government cannot trust its own citizens, and the revelations of the past week by whistleblower Edward Snowden prove beyond a doubt that the government has also waged an illegal and immoral war against its own citizens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And all in the name of ‘national security’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Orwell could not have dreamed of a scarier and more insane scenario if he ended up in hell and had to describe his experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What is happening to us is nothing that has not happened myriads of time throughout history, when an immoral and lazy society gives up its rights and freedoms in exchange for security and bread and circuses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sit here, believing the whole time we are smarter and more sophisticated than our ancestors and the rest of the world while we blissfully and ignorantly go off the waterfall and plunge to our demise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are trapped in a terminal situation of our own making and aren’t smart enough to see it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We see ourselves as morally superior to virtually every society and religion in the world, yet we are naked, desolate and stupid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes, we are surrounded by unstable systems, from the financial world, to our food production with its monstrous forms of GMO, yet somehow, want to inflict this onto the rest of the world, and will do it by force, even when not necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The average person takes no time whatsoever to investigate the current happenings and wants to demonize anyone that challenges any of the sacred ideas that point to the ending of the current system as we know it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So our elected officials, with the instructions from the elite needs to preoccupy us with endless wars waged on that invisible enemy called the ‘terrorists’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in order to hide their true agenda and cover their tracks before the real fireworks begin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We seem to continually glorify aggressive actions against those we see as morally inferior to ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is also reflected in the fact that many Americans are not outraged, or maybe don’t even care about the latest revelation of our government spying on citizens that have done nothing wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe some of the numbness is a direct result of wanting to bomb the hell out of countries that are ‘supposed threats’ and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people, all in the name of ‘freedom’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe it’s no big deal to a large segment of the population, because they are on the dole, and don’t want to bite the hand that feeds them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">For the past couple of months, we have witnessed a huge sell off in the precious metals that can only be explained by pure foolishness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The financial press is constantly beating the deflationary drum concerning the metals, and provocatively steering the herd into the overbought and over leveraged stock market, that is ready for a major correction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When (and not if) this reversal takes place, it will be curtains for many and their money will be taken by those who have been salivating over the last vestige of capital left in this hopelessly indebted country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Why anyone would still continue to give credence to anyone who is promoting the current system is beyond my ability to understand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are seeing unprecedented reaches by multiple governments in taking the citizen’s money in all forms that happen to have an account number and track able by said governments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the government is not outright stealing money, as in the Cyprus experiment, it is doing it indirectly by raising taxes on capital gains to mafia like heights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On top of that, there is ample evidence that many of the corporations are ‘cooking the books’ and are not as valuable as they have to show in order to continue commanding astronomically high stock valuation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why continue to play this game when it is so obviously rigged?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I am as equally mystified when I read postings from those who have a clear vision of what is to happen, when they make a credible case to own tangibles, then somewhere in their writings they recommend only ‘10% or so in precious metals, as an insurance policy”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, I say, what about the other 90% of your money, which is still within the criminal financial system?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s acceptable to lose nearly all of one’s wealth, as long as they don’t get too ‘radical’ and put their life savings into tangibles, especially precious metals?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It truly makes me wonder if these people really believe what they preach, or if there are deeper and profitable motives on their part.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We are hopelessly in debt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our debt is increasing in geometric progression and there is not a thing we can do about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It doesn’t matter how much ‘austerity’ we introduce, or what political party is in office, or how many jobs we create, or how much the jobs numbers and inflations numbers are manipulated, we simply have gone too far in our ability to pay it back, and all the printing presses in the world, coupled with stealing all the peoples assets that have numbers, and can be frozen via electronic means, will not change any of these facts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reset button will be hit and the system as we know it today will cease to exist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We are on borrowed time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every day that passes that does not result in collapse, is a blessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is what we do with this time that will make all the difference in the world for us and our loved ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While all the talking idiots on the majority of the financial programs and channels talk about some mystical recovery, the facts paint a much dire and different picture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cut and paste economy will soon give away to a more somber reality in which real skills and real know how will be the only way to continue on with life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The need to be able to take care of oneself will be paramount and the need to be in a community of like-minded individuals will be essential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tangibles, not stocks or bonds, or even cash will be king and will be necessary to get on with the day to day demands of the times ready to visit us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the top of the list (other than food, water and shelter) will be the precious metals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God’s money.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This is why it is so important to be plugged in, and to take care of one’s situation with tangibles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tangibles are the hardest to confiscate, and are readily available to the owner at his discretion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no counter party risk, and it is as open or hidden as you make it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the old adage about making money is true, “buy low, and sell high” then precious metals couldn’t be a better deal right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stock market is at an all-time high, and people are flooding into it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Precious metals are at a 5 year low, and people are dumping them like crazy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cattle running to the slaughter house. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t end up being steak on the elite’s plate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I’ve been extremely busy, as in every waking moment accounted for, and the blog, although important, is not an essential piece of my day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am hoping this deluge of ‘life’ will calm down, and I can get back to writing on a more regular basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, for those who wondered where I went or if I’m ok, I’m letting you know that I hope to be writing a lot more in the near future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m also looking into a collaborative effort with another individual who is fairly influential in the pro-life movement, who also happens to believe what I do, and thinks the message needs to get out to the faithful quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will keep you updated on that one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks for being patient.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed “Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In 1988, a movie with the above title came out that basically mocked Christianity and the whole aspect of the passion death and resurrection of Jesus by making a false assertion that the nature of Christ’s temptation was sexually motivated, and that Jesus somehow would not be fulfilled without experiencing this piece of humanity prior to his death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a sexually saturated society like our own, this could pass as some form of ‘nonfiction’ fiction and there would be some elements of society that would buy into this false assertion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These people are coming from a secular humanistic point of view, and are clearly denying the divine view, that the point of Jesus manifestation as a man was to be the ultimate sacrifice to expiate sin once and for all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What makes the whole Christ event so remarkable and awesome is the fact that the second person of the Trinity found it worth the effort to save fallen beings and freely give them the opportunity of paradise without strings attached, or the need to follow the ‘law’ in order to ‘earn’ salvation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With this event, Jesus must have been fully aware of how unjust this was, and would have had to have a level of humility that virtually none of us mortals could even begin to comprehend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is beyond modern man’s ability to consider how anyone would knowingly put themselves into such a position, especially when this person has the powers to change all things. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Then Jesus said to him, ‘put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Matt 26:52-54<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We as a race are obsessed with power, and continually imagine having super powers in which we see ourselves being the good guy and destroying the bad guys. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just look at the proliferation of movies such as superman, batman, transformers, and fantastic four and so on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If any human had the ability to change history by using super human powers, I’m willing to believe that none could resist this temptation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is innate for us to be repelled by evil, and we would do anything in our power to change the course of evil if we had the ability to do so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, most likely the greatest temptation we as humans could have is to be given the power to change the course of history and then see if we would use it and how we would use it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Jesus was the only person ever to have lived that actually had this ability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet He used His free will to follow the will of His Father, and chose to let Himself experience a most painful and humiliating death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is nearly impossible to grasp this concept, yet explain it in any human language or form that is understandable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can only be seen as the ultimate act of love, and only a being with the ability to have perfect focus on a goal could have accomplished such a feat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The human part of Jesus was fearful of His impending death, and this gives me comfort in the fact that death is not a pleasant experience as evidenced by Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But unlike Jesus, I believe personally that if I had the power to stop my own death, I most likely would use it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So, if there really was the last temptation of Christ (which I doubt) it very well may have been to use His divinity to change the course of human events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, we would still be under the curse of sin, and there would be no hope in heaven or resurrection for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus modeled for us perfect obedience to the will of God, and perfect love, in that He allowed Himself to be brutally murdered to give us the opportunity to spend eternity with Him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I have been given lots of feedback from various sources over the past few months concerning the topics I write about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many are disturbed by the fact I cover what would appear to be ‘non pro-life’ issues while still claiming to be a pro-life site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While on the surface, this may look to be true, but in all reality, it is those who want to ‘compartmentalize’ that are short changing themselves and not seeing the whole picture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether one likes it or not, or wants to admit it or not, life is much interconnected, and nothing exists in a vacuum, including our faith and actions (or inactions) that back up this faith.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It is true that we must do all we can for our unborn brethren, but we need to understand first and foremost that legalized child killing and all the surrounding structures supporting it is a spiritual battle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So in order to ‘exercise this demon’ one must successfully get to the root cause of the evil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simply focusing on legalized child killing in a vacuum will not lead to the necessary changes in the law to stop this, but looking at the big picture and understanding what causes legalized child killing to exist in the first place is what is needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the cause of legalized child killing is money.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We can see clearly that our society is obsessed with money and how to get more of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can tell ourselves all we want that being pro-life is to “educate and change hearts’ but we already know 47% of the population is ‘bought off’ by those controlling the goodie bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We know that others work certain jobs (like the government) in order to collect paychecks and benefits while doing the minimal amount of work to get this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We know that those who are in charge of the educational system (and some churches even) preach the gospel of scarcity, and fill our heads with the sick notion that our world is overpopulated, and resources are scarce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t have enough to take care of those already here, so how can we possibly take care of those not born yet?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With this thought process quite entrenched in our system, there is no chance in hell of ending legalized child killing by simply seeing this as some aberrant law without a root cause.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This spiritual battle manifests itself by controlling the issuance of money, and those that control the money, also control the whole system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The system is infected with the idea that the global population is too large, and that overlords are needed to oversee the proper utilization of resources in order to stop the ‘stupid masses’ from overconsumption and extinction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deliberate debauchery of the currency by the money powers only reinforces this perception, and the average person blindly believes and parrots back to others this evil creed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Scarcity everywhere and not enough money to pay for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eliminate those who are unnecessary!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone run scared and know your future will be worse than the present due to SCARCITY OF RESOURCES!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">These people have done a splendid job of convincing the uneducated masses that man and not God has the solutions to our problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And man’s solutions always involve resources and production flow towards the very few.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If one takes time to notice, the stream of things going on mysteriously flow consistently in one direction: taking away rights and wealth from the masses and concentrating them into a few privileged hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As more is taken away, it follows that there is less to have for the rest, and it makes no sense to continue adding to the numbers of people if there is less and less to go around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Legalized child killing will never be outlawed as long as we do not address this root cause, and all the wishful thinking in the world will not change that fact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So, the next time you hear of another nation crashing financially, or hear about ‘peak oil’ or the ‘climate change’ taking place, or food shortages, or how much it costs to keep seniors alive the last few weeks of their lives, or how we will never be able to pay off our debts, just remember that all of these ‘crises’ are man-made and controlled by the elite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as long as we the people buy into this BS, there is not a chance that these people will allow the population to grow larger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This godless and sociopathic run system is geared for destruction of the masses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This not only includes the unborn, but unfortunately most of the born.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The recent developments in Cyprus cannot be overlooked, minimized or ignored.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the first time in modern history that a bank, through the protection of the government, literally stole the people’s own money out of segregated accounts to bail out the criminal banksters in order to secure a ‘guaranteed’ loan from the EU.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And to enforce this wide open thievery, the government imposed a 100 euro per day limit on ATM withdrawals to stop any potential bank run.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This blatant move and open thievery by the government is a very open statement concerning what the government really thinks of the people’s assets: they are ours for the taking at our bidding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Now, many here in the U.S. have openly scoffed at the idea of our government doing the same thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They believe that we, in the land of the free, would never have such an action taken against us, and that somehow, the economy will get back on track, and life as we have become accustomed to will continue to plod on without any pain or suffering, and without the problems of some’ third world backwards country”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little do most Americans know, but we have the ‘grand daddy’ of debt here and put the whole Euro zone to shame concerning the sheer amount of dollars owed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not our turn simply because the dollar is the reserve currency of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Most people have no understanding of what money is, yet even fathom where it comes from.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the current system, the Federal Reserve creates dollars out of nothing, and lends them to our government for interest payments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since these dollars have no backing of gold or silver, an unlimited amount can be ‘manufactured’ and lent out, until the interest becomes so overwhelming, that the scheme comes crashing down, as the people no longer have the ability to pay their debts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But before it gets to this critical point, the powers that be will do to us what just happened in Cyprus; they will try to convince us that if the banks fail, the economy will hopelessly implode and all will be lost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If people truly understood the nature of money and what it really is, the crashing of the fiat paper system would be the most beneficial event that could occur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am not saying at all that it will be easy and not involve a lot of short term pain, but it will free those who want to produce and allow them a fair opportunity to better their lives and to pass on the fruit of their labors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have watched the dollar lose nearly 99% of its value since the creation of the Federal Reserve 100 years ago, and we can also see through the geometric progression of the debt, that we will never pay off the obligations we have made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The current crop of politicians don’t have the guts to make the cuts necessary, and have grown accustomed to taking from the producers and giving to the consumers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last vestage of money left for these crooks to steal is in retirement accounts, bonds, and yes, bank accounts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If one takes the time to study and understand the banking system, they will quickly come to the conclusion that banks are the most inefficient and most usurious ‘industry’ that exists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Banks do two things only: 1) make loans and collect interest, and 2) store money safely for the people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When banks make loans, they need collateral, or deposits on hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If there is a run on the banks, and too many deposits are withdrawn, loans cannot be made, or existing loans may have to be called in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When this happens, a crash occurs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Banks will do anything in their power to avoid this situation, including getting the heavy hand of government to enforce their access to money, even if it means directly stealing the deposits of those they are supposed to be protecting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Given that banks have participated in bad loans, as well as playing derivative games, they have in essence passed on their bad debts to the consumers through bailouts at taxpayer expense, as well as now openly stealing assets they are entrusted with, all with the blessing and backing of the government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two reasons for the existence of banks are now invalidated, and as such, should no longer be allowed to exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet the banksters, through the government and lackey MSM, has nearly everyone convinced that the ‘too big to fail” banks will end life as we know it if allowed to fail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So those charged with watching out for the little guy are in collusion with the thieves and those responsible for our current economic conditions, and the stage is being set for these sociopathic criminals to walk scot free, and blame this mess on whatever flavor of the month opportunity comes their way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We don’t need the modern banking system as it is today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has lived beyond its usefulness, and for those paying attention, it is time to get your ASSETS out of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t allow yourself to be victimized by a group that salivates at the thought of getting your hard earned money through lies and deceptions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fight back and get out of the system as much as you possibly can, and that at least will give you a better position to survive once these people finally play the hand they are waiting to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It seems that every time I leave the country for a spell, some very important matters occur that has the potential to be ‘game changers’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But before getting to this ‘game changer’ I have to comment briefly on another successful beer trip to Belgium.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spent a week on a tour sponsored by Ale Street news, and this writer at least drank in moderation while spending most of the time with the brewers asking detailed questions pertaining to the differing brew processes they used.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were also fortunate enough to have acquired a significant number of Westvleteran 12 that are nearly impossible to get, and this particular brew has been voted number one in the world for several years running.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So upon returning to the states, it was rather intriguing that the story of the government’s purchase of 1.6 billion hollow pointed rounds finally garnered some traction in the news.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is incredible that it takes members of congress to get the proper attention on this issue, but it is even more incredible that it took so long for any of the law makers to even question what the DHS is doing with their funding, which Congress happens to control.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe the real deal concerning the attention finally being paid to this issue is that enough patriots complained to their ‘representatives’ that required this issue to finally come out of the sinister shadows of this very secretive and dangerous government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It is also amazing that despite the efforts and letters of 15 congressmen to DHS demanding explanations, one is not forthcoming, and the pitiful explanations by low level staffers is laughable and way off the mark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all, aren’t these agencies by law accountable to Congress to begin with?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet they seem to be acting in the same rogue fashion as the top dog Obama and believe they can do whatever they want whenever they please.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No accountability with any intention of being accountable to anyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the average citizen behaved in this fashion, they most likely would be on the receiving end of one of these hollow pointed rounds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the explanations proffered by a low level bureaucrat is the numerous RFP’s do not actually purchase 1.6 billion rounds, but simply refer to the ‘top end’ of purchases that add up to this number.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, this does not explain why DHS has any need of round one of hollow pointed rounds, given the use of these rounds in war are illegal by the Geneva Convention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a pathetic attempt at covering up what the government is really up to, and it is amazing that they believe they can get away with outright lies or by simply being silent on this matter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The arrogance of this rogue government should be a massive clue as to what they are really up to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We supposedly live in a constitutional republic, in which the government is accountable to us and those elected are supposed to represent our interests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is becoming quite clear that this government is set upon doing whatever they believe they need to do to survive and keep their power.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This includes making war on the people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why else would the social security administration find it ‘necessary’ to order nearly 200,000 hollow pointed rounds?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To shoot recipients making too much?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To go after those who are committing fraud?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When has ANYONE been shot by the SSA for any ‘crimes’?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">People, it’s time to wake up and see what is going on around you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is not the time to be asleep and believe things will go on as they had over the past several decades.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We live in dangerous time in which the government resembles more of a tyrannical monster than what was intended by our founding fathers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This government is doing things that ought to be scaring the hell out of anyone who is paying the minimal amount of attention, yet most continue on in their sleepwalking state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How sad, and the time is running out to do anything about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Catholics cannot help but feel somewhat overwhelmed or at least wonder what is going on concerning the resignation of Pope Benedict, the first one in over 600 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, there is a lot of speculation on this matter, and in many senses of the word, it doesn’t really matter what the reasons are, because it is what is currently going on behind the scenes that seems to be taking on a life of its own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Regardless of Pope Benedict’s health, the odds were that had he continued on in the Papacy, his time may have been very short lived anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is in no way an attempt to disparage the Pope, but merely to point out how the times have changed, and even matters that appeared to be written in stone are subject to change in these strange times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I’ve been a follower of the prophecies of St. Malachy since I first was introduced to them by my pastor while in high school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was in the beginning stages of studies in Revelation, and my pastor told me about these prophecies when I told him that I believed I would live to see the fulfillment of Revelation in my lifetime (such youthful foolishness).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found them intriguing, but remember thinking that someone had made them up recently to make them look accurate and then credited them to some guy that lived over 700 years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was most intrigued with the last Pope, who would be known as “Peter the Roman”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought that there would be a good possibility that I would be alive to see this, given John Paul II had just taken the Seat of Peter, and we only needed two more popes after that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But more importantly, I remember thinking this is a fairly specific prophecy, and St. Malachy would have to nail this one perfectly before I would believe in this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Fast forward 35 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We now have a cardinal from Ghana named Peter Kowodo Applah Turkson who appears to be the ‘frontrunner’ in the upcoming conclave to elect a new Supreme Pontiff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite being from Ghana, Turkson studied in the United States, and finished his Theological Studies in Rome, earning the nickname “Peter the Roman” from his native Ghanaians. On top of that, Cardinal Turkson has come out with a comprehensive plan on how to deal with the many dissenting factions and social problems that many in the church are looking for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, all is not rosy concerning Cardinal Turkson, as noted in this Wikipedia entry:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In October 2011 Cardinal Turkson called for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document, Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority was very specific, calling for taxation measures on financial transactions. It notes that “The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence,” it said. The document condemned what it called “the idolatry of the market” as well as a “neo-liberal thinking” that it said looked exclusively at technical solutions to economic problems. “In fact, the crisis has revealed behaviors like selfishness, collective greed and hoarding of goods on a great scale,” it said, adding that world economics needed an “ethic of solidarity” among rich and poor nations.[11][12]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Turkson"><span style="color: blue;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Turkson</span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The prediction in full is "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The end”<br /><br />Read more: <a href="http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/St-Malachy-predicted-Pope-Benedicts-successor-will-be-last-pope-190715001.html#ixzz2KpC0LQzJ"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/St-Malachy-predicted-Pope-Benedicts-successor-will-be-last-pope-190715001.html#ixzz2KpC0LQzJ</span></a> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There is no question we live in very dark times, and there is also no question that pessimism reigns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While both observations are valid, there is a glaring omission in those who simply like to ‘hang out’ in the darkness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those who simply look at the view from a pragmatical or human perspective do not take into account who is really running the show, and are too caught up in the current drama to see what the end result will be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So this post will cover some ground and discuss the current matters in a much different light than what many expositors and commentators are doing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is time to live by faith and not by sight, as this battle and its outcome have been pre-determined from the beginning of time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Many have asked me if I believe the incompetent, inbred idiots known as the money powers will succeed in creating a one world order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My answer has been consistent and staunch: it will not happen outside of Revelation and there is nothing they can do about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If a person, who wants to call himself a Christian lets his sight determine what he believes, he cannot help but become afraid and worry about the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been told over and over again that true Christians walk by faith and not by sight and to not concern themselves about the future if they are doing what they are supposed to be doing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From a human perspective, it in fact, does look like the money powers finally have the world in a position to institute its one world order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But that is from a human perspective and not God’s perspective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Throughout the Bible, God has empowered the weak and few in numbers to confound the strong and many, and tends to do this when all looks lost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have many of the same conditions currently, and the outcome will be no different here as in many other times of old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, there can be tremendous suffering and purging and purifying before restoration occurs, and most likely it will be the case for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is much wrong that needs to be made right and whole, and we need to deal with the consequences of our choices as a society, and no one will be exempt from the pain and suffering ready to bear down upon us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But does this mean it will be the end?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A Christian, coming from a theocentric point of view will find that despite the times of trouble, there can be an inner peace and tranquility because Jesus promised us that he has overcome the world, and has made clear through Revelation that man will not be successful in enslaving the whole world under one dictator until Revelation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we are not in Revelation at this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, things will get worse and much scarier without a doubt, but God will have a surprise for his nemesis and his army; they will be taken out by a source that will humiliate them, and they will not see it coming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We are in very rough times in our nation, and we have a very rogue and evil government that is openly at war with the Catholic Church concerning abortion, homosexual marriage and the contraception debate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This very rogue and evil government is also at war with all patriots and producers to take more, and attempt to control all behaviors by wanting to outlaw anything that can be hidden from their view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Christians, we are called to be the light of the world, and that means exposing these evil people for what they really are and what they are about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a very uncomfortable task, but one we are mandated to do by virtue of the great commission; spreading the word of God to a fallen world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we believe this and take it seriously, there is no way we can lose and we very well may convert multitudes before all is said and done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This evil government is doomed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are doomed because they openly mock the Living God and His Ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot tell any of you what their downfall will look like, or when it will happen, and what the condition of the world will be, but it is a certainty that it will happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This evil government, along with the incompetent, inbred idiots known as the money powers, are on the wrong side of history, and by extension, eternity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ought to be doing everything in our power in getting this message out to a darkened and pain filled world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ought to be the beacon light and hope for many who feel hopeless, and helpless in these times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are assured of victory, and we need to start acting like it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So, do not worry about speaking out when seeing evil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do not worry about being put on some insane list this evil government makes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do not worry about what others may think or say about you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stay focused on the prize, and all will be made right by the king, creator and RIGHTFUL OWNER of the universe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These people are not gods; they are ‘wanna be’ goof balls that think because they were born into the lucky sperm club, that they are the masters of the universe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, I can assure them as much as I can assure you; the true Owner of the universe will make sure they are clear on what is really up and who really owns who.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I shall not be mocked: whatsoever a man soweth, shall he reap”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Words given by the Owner of all things to the wayward and rebellious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who do you think will win?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
There have been several attempts at hacking and comadeering this site over the past few weeks. Evidently, some LIBERAL ASSHOLES are getting upset at what I'm posting. I do have to admit, I feel HONORED at the attempts and am beginning to understand I am getting under the skin of the right people. Unlike what the very well hidden and secretive ASSHOLES are doing, I am very open about my positions, and articulate them well. evidently, in the poverty of thought department, the unthinking and reactionary liberals can do nothing other than silence those they cannot refute and they try to silence those they cannot refute by 'stealing' their sites. Given liberals think nothing of stealing, this is right down their alley.<br />
<br />
Jesus made clear in his teachings that those who dare to tell the truth and challenge those who have deficits in logic, that they are to expect persecution and trouble. Well, bring it on. You will never silence me, and any attempt at doing so will bring on more wrath, and more logical arguing than your losing minds have ever heard before. You are on the losing side of eternity, and you are on the losing side of this side of eternity as well. BRING IT ON!!!George Offermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06163374092479218785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307915881669778717.post-26001976213800345772013-01-12T12:12:00.003-08:002013-01-12T12:20:51.313-08:00WHAT DOES THE GOVERNMENT NEED 1.6 BILLION HOLLOW POINTED BULLETS FOR?<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The idiocy and hypocrisy coming from the liberal left is beyond believability and defies any logic which is necessary to even begin to address issues with any sort of intelligence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it isn’t the British national asshole Morgan spewing garbage and refusing to acknowledge legitimate points brought up by intelligent guests, then it is idiots like New York Governor Cuomo who thinks the idea of the second amendment is for deer hunting, and ‘no one needs 10 bullets to shoot deer”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These ‘useful idiots’ are doing the legwork for their masters who want a disarmed populace in order to complete their total takeover of this country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I already posted about the British national asshole Morgan, so it will be time to address the fool Gov. Cuomo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to admit that I agree with Cuomo on this thought: that any more than one shot at a deer will ruin more meat than necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I only need one shot to get a deer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, what Cuomo seems to not understand or grasp is that deer don’t break down doors in the middle of the night, or brutally rape and murder women, or shoot up schools or other such things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How many rounds do I need in my clip, Mr. Cuomo?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As many as it takes to quell whatever threat comes my way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as far as I am concerned, the more rounds, the better my odds are of staying alive and protecting my family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">However, what these idiots do not want to talk about or even acknowledge is what the government is doing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alex Jones attempted to get British national asshole Morgan to answer this question, but as expected, British national asshole Morgan blew it off and went on to rant about the ‘assault weapon’ used at the school shooting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No one in the media, including Fox news, is covering the fact that the government, through DHS, has purchased 1.6 billion hollow pointed 40 caliber rounds over the past 2 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those of you who don’t want to know, or could care less, the DHS has no authority outside the borders of the USA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, what is the government up to?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For anyone who has done any research on this matter, it is against the Geneva Convention to use hollow pointed rounds in war zones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet our own government purchased enough of them to kill the 300 million plus population 5 times over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No explanations, no accountability and no debate on the issue; we simply need to ‘trust’ the government and ‘not worry’ about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would like to know if the government needs 1.6 billion hollow pointed rounds to shoot deer, and if so, why deliberately destroy so much meat?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all, hollow pointed rounds fairly well destroy whatever they impact, and even hitting a limb with what would be a normally non-lethal shot using regular ammo will result in a slow and painful death when hit with a hollow pointed round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is why even parties at war recognize the inhumanity and cruelty of these bullets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not our government however.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And these assholes wonder why we true Americans don’t trust these sociopaths who have hijacked this country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Let’s see: the government monitors all of my verbal and written communications, purchases of nearly everything, taxes paid, protects thugs and lawbreakers, and on top of this, wants to disarm me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have guns, and know how to use them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I have no police or criminal record, and have never pulled a gun on anyone, never threatened anyone with a gun, never even alluded to a threat, and yet the ‘trustworthy’ government wants to take this GOD GIVEN RIGHT AWAY FROM ME AND MY FELLOW LAW ABIDING AMERICANS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The government in collusion with their mainstream media lackeys lead by the likes of the British national asshole Morgan will not even answer a simple question of what they intend to do with 1.6 BILLION HOLLOW POINTED 40 CAL. ROUNDS?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the government is so ‘turstworthy’ and really ‘concerned and care’ about my and other’s welfare, then simply tell us what is intended with stocking up on some of the most cruel and destructive weaponry known to exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you all plan on doing massive deer hunting expeditions, and donating to the starving masses what remains of the poor deer after being hit by one of these slugs?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only bonified sociopaths would ever think about using hollow pointed bullets on people, especially on those who kept their greedy and dirty asses in power.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People who would use hollow pointed bullets on others are the most evil bastards on the planet, and ought to be subjected to the exact punishment they intend to inflict upon those who dare to ‘disagree’ with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I don’t trust this government, starting with the clearly sociopathic Obama and his sociopathic side kick Eric ‘the gun runner’ Holder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, this government openly lies about the most rudimentary matters and is constantly taking from producers and giving to those who contribute little to nothing and buy enough votes to get reelected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This government demonizes what is good and holy, and raises to deity and religious levels that which is evil and despicable in the eyes of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of this, the government has sown their own seeds of destruction and it will come upon them as they deserve and by means that they do not see nor anticipate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But in the meantime, this rogue government can sure create a lot of hell for the rest of us before they ultimately go down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Go down they will, and be assured there will be an opportunity to have renewal from the chaos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will take people of faith to make it happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It is interesting how so many people get fixated on what many of these murderous sociopaths are thinking and want to understand them at a core level.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just as often, many are quick to justify how these people are ‘disenfranchised’ and ‘misunderstood’ and as such, do these horrendous acts that could have been avoided, had the ‘bad’ society simply treated these people better and ‘understood’ them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is more effort put into trying to make sense of the senseless than in working towards real solutions that will solve many of these problems on a long term basis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Before I proceed on, I need to be clear that I will be describing sociopaths and their behaviors, but that is very distinct from ‘understanding’ them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I can also assure those who would want to know, that had the average person heard the myriad of stories I have heard over the years in working with many sociopaths, their reaction would be to either lock these people up for life or do some ‘heavy metal’ therapy on them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There isn’t a need to ‘understand’ a sociopath, there is only a need to effectively deal with them where they do not cause harm to others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Sociopathology, like all the personality disorders is measured on a continuum of acuity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many people who have some of the traits of a sociopath, but would not be considered a sociopath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And of those who are bonified sociopaths, the majority of those are non-violent and tends to keep their destruction in a controlled and narrow band due to fears of punishment or negative consequences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the violent sociopaths look to use any means necessary to intimidate and control those in their sphere of influence or victims they may be targeting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the main features of a sociopath is their inability to have empathy for their fellow man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When a person has no ability to relate to common experiences of others, there is no amount of medication or therapy that can change this person, and the vast majority of the time, the sociopath has no interest in changing, as they do not see themselves as the problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A person who is empathetic cannot even begin to imagine how a sociopath can constantly scheme and plot destruction without any remorse or any sense of what is right and wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One cannot also understand how a sociopath can navigate society in which they really do not contribute any positive change to, but are constantly ‘conning’ those around them into believing that they are in fact great agents of change (many in the current government are like this).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One cannot understand or even fathom the deep emptiness and lack of meaning in their lives and how their only positive sense of self is to destroy those who appear to be happy or are at least bringing value to society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This is why these sick bastards target women, children, the weak and the defenseless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They know they can intimidate and ‘own’ these groups, and they also know their violence will have maximum impact on society, whether it be a grade school in Connecticut using a gun, or a brutal rape and murder on a bus in India using a four foot iron rod.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The violence of the sociopath goes beyond what even many of the horror movies (the supposed non sociopaths flock to) dare to show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the embodiment of evil, and these people are evil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those who don’t believe it or live in some liberal land fairy tale better get to know and accept this fact real soon or they, in their ‘compassion’ will find themselves on the wrong end of a shovel, axe, chain saw, machete, sword, bomb or whatever ‘assault weapon’ the sociopath decides to use.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In all the years I’ve been doing therapy, I cannot say with any confidence that I understand these people any better than when I studied abnormal psychology in graduate school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stories I’ve heard would make the most hardened non sociopath cry, and would bring out a homicidal rage to kill these sick bastards right on the spot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, you liberals, and especially you, the British national asshole Piers Morgan, there are people so evil and so bent on destruction that they will use any means necessary to wreak as much destruction onto the most vulnerable in the most horrific ways just to let you know they hate everything that is good and want to cause maximum terror and intimidation for the sake of inflicting their own form of hell onto the general society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">These people don’t need to be understood, or studied, or rehabilitated; they either need to be locked up in the darkest places to never interact with society, or be shot on the spot and disposed of with as little fanfare as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only language the violent sociopath understands is knowing he will pay the ultimate price for acting out and it will need to be immediate and overpowering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is all we need to know about the monsters that walk among us and virtually spend every moment of their pathetic lives planning and plotting ways of destroying lives around them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are very sick bastards and it is high time we acknowledge as a society the existence of evil people, and the need to either lock them up or exterminate them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There has been a lot of debates and all sorts of emotional blather being strewn about over the latest shootings, and the need to ’take those evil guns’ out of the hands of law abiding citizens in order for those who don’t give a damn about anyone’s welfare in the first place to ‘feel better’ about themselves and to ‘do something’ in order to appease the family and friends of the victims of a very tragic event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is unfortunate that these same people are so misguided in their beliefs and understandings of how truly insane people act, that they are actually assisting in perpetrating similar behaviors and advocating for more violence through their insistence on making these insane shooters internationally known through the constant publicity of what they did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This includes the very public CNN broadcaster British born asshole known as Piers Morgan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As someone who has delivered mental health services for over 26 years, I think I know a little more about the motives and actions of insane people better than our presumptuous and pompous guest from the British Isles who is trying to advocate policy concerning an amendment that was specifically written with his ancestors in mind (who by the way, were way more vicious in their tactics than any ‘law abiding’ American would ever be).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, it has been pointed out to me by those who knew I was going to write about this, that in fact Mr. Morgan may be insane, and thus, be qualified to discuss such insanity with great familiarity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The nature of insanity requires that one not be plugged into reality as the ‘majority’ sees it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This happens to include the arena of law, and the insane do not regard law as applying to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, it is extremely mystifying when these talking heads, such as Mr. Morgan ‘lament’ people going onto ‘gun free zones’ such as schools, and shooting multitudes of victims without finding any resistance to their actions, and as such, are very emboldened in their actions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those with any common sense and a precursory knowledge of sociopathology, schools are the perfect target for their insane motives, as these cowards know they will pull off mass murders without resistance, and get the notoriety their sick minds crave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is why schools have been targeted over the past couple of decades, and will continue to be targeted, as these stupid asshole liberals ADVERTISE OPENLY THE VULNERABILITY OF THE CHILDREN BY DECLARING SCHOOLS GUN FREE ZONES.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is in this way that people like Mr. Morgan, have blood on their hands as they are accomplices to these murders, and want to then take away the rights of those who did not violate any laws.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There is not ONE KNOWN INSTANCE in which a criminal, who has already decided to break the law, changed his mind after seeing a posted sign stating ‘gun free zone’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, there is ample evidence that gun free zones actually increase the odds of violence taking place, as the perpetrator knows he will be safe when he violates the law and commits violence upon an unarmed and unprepared victim or victims.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sociopaths, by their nature, don’t regard the law, no matter how many times it is posted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is only those who believe posted signs carry any weight and meaning that get sucked into the ‘delusion’ that all who can read them (and that’s a stretch) will obey them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sociopaths, like virtually any other human being, must be spoken to in a language they understand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since we already know they have no respect for the law and life we need to convey a message they can relate to:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You come here to injure or kill, you will be injured and killed yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It is in trying to take away the second amendment rights of law abiding citizens that violent crime will actually increase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not about the guns, or what the guns look like or how many bullets they can shoot, or how quickly they can shoot them, it is about the person and the integrity behind the gun that matters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When law abiding citizens are armed and come across sociopathic coward criminals perpetrating crime, the crime in the vast majority of the time ends on the spot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, people like the British national asshole Piers Morgan does not report on these stories, but what is politically expedient for his own distorted view of an issue that is none of his business and one that he really ought to keep his mouth shut on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What someone like Piers Morgan needs to do is to learn about some basic psychology on how sociopaths work and understand that the only way to stop the violent ones is with heavy metal therapy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On a final note, the media and politicians like to discuss the ‘founding father’s intent’ when writing the second amendment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They often state that semi-automatic weapons and assault weapons were not ‘conceptualized’ back then, and states there are no legitimate reasons for the average citizen to own one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, if we follow through on that logic, we could look at the first amendment that guarantees the right of a free press and state the founding fathers could not have imagined television and the 24 hour news cycles with such garbage as CNN, and they sure as hell would not have been ok with a British national asshole leading the charge in trying to push gun control upon the populace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They would have tarred and feathered this British asshole as he deserved and made an example of him like happened with the stamp act.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So, for Piers Morgan and his question of “why should an average American need or have an assault rifle?” I will answer in such a way that even he should understand: BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS THEM, AND BECAUSE THEY ARE BECOMING MORE OUT OF CONTROL EVERY DAY.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If Mr. Morgan chooses to notice, in EVERY CASE, when doors are kicked in in the middle of the night, or if people are arrested with SWAT teams, or places are forcibly closed, such as the Amish recently, it is the government intruding on citizens, not the other way around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the government can have AUTOMATIC weapons (asshole Morgan, learn the difference between automatic and semi-automatic) tanks, drones, Jets and helicopters, I think I have the right to a good semi-automatic to protect myself from whoever may come onto my property.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t need a British national who really needs to catch the next boat or plane out of this country preaching to me about my rights or what I can constitutionally do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Piers Morgan, get the hell out of our country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We just returned from a two week trip from my homeland in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan after visiting family and friends that was most interesting and informative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hadn’t been to the UP in wintertime since my father’s funeral almost 21 years ago, and forgot how cold and snowy it gets up there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Besides celebrating on one of the greatest non-events December 21<sup>st</sup>, I had an opportunity to get together with one of my old seminary classmates who happens to be a priest there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was in the midst of the conversation with him that I realized I would never had made it as a priest in the UP, or really anywhere in the American church due to the way I hold the church teachings and what I stand for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This priest (who shall go nameless) looked worn out and frustrated, and it became clear as we talked that the problem of mediocrity is a church wide epidemic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This priest had mentioned how the people up there had no interest in real church teachings, and even when laid out clearly (and this priest is very articulate) there was great resistance and complaints levied against him for doing this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also seems that his Bishop, like many around the country, respond to any form of criticism unfavorably for the priest, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and this serves to undermine both the credibility of the priest as well as the church in general.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, many of the homilies given by this priest are rather on the unchallenging side and getting into the hard hitting issues is considered taboo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It brought me back to my seminary days over a quarter of a century ago, when I spoke up against the homosexuals and how our church was being sold out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ignored the advice of fellow seminarians as well as some of the faculty when told to keep my thoughts and beliefs to myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also brings home the point of Biblical truths that hidden sins would be ‘shouted from the roof tops’ and no amount of staying quiet would change that fact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, I was asked to get counseling for my ‘homophobia’ by the faculty as a condition of returning, but I knew my time was up when I left in the spring of 1986.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I had also sensed at that time that telling the truth was going to result (most likely) in my not making it to ordination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I saw no point in continuing on, as I knew then I would not compromise on church teachings and sell the people out due to ‘feelings’ and horrible theology.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Many who made it into the priesthood knowingly sold out their belief systems in order to get ordained.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the main lines of thinking back then was “Tell them what they want to hear, and then after getting ordained, do what you want”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have only found that those who compromised their value systems in order to get ordained are still compromising their value systems today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, some of the men I know did not compromise their values, but did stay quiet then and now seem to this day to be suffering in silence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My fears for myself always had been if I could justify ‘playing the game’ to get ordained, how could I then come out of my shell and stand for the truth?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t see a way out, other than leaving the seminary and following what I believed outside of ordained ministry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It turns out it was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I’ve been blessed with a good family, children and a good career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am able to live the faith unencumbered by public criticism and can be as involved to whatever level in the pro-life movement and participate in civil disobedience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can write the truth and not have to worry about being censured, ‘suspended’ or sent to a monastery to’ rethink and contemplate my life’ by a bishop that doesn’t have the integrity or grit to stand up for the church or to the whiners and wimps who seem to be calling the shots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I don’t have to be beholden to the godless IRS and cursed 501 c 3 status and can call out by name those who are advocating evil and trying to destroy everything that is good and holy in our society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I believe I am doing exactly as God called me to do, and that is to minister to my fellow man to the best of my ability and in the truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am doing way more in a lay status than what I ever could have accomplished in the church as it currently is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am way freer than my former classmates, who as priests, are beholden to men and parishioners that believe they have a better theological background than the priests do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I am free to teach the faith, unencumbered by man-made shackles, and can debate with anyone at any level without worrying about losing my livelihood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never thought I could be a better priest outside of the priesthood, but it seems like it’s the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What a sad commentary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Glad I didn’t make it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">George Offerman<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I talked to an old friend this morning, who wanted to get together with me to discuss my take on world events and Biblical prophecy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a significant departure from the reactions I have been getting from friends and others, whom are very familiar with my current thinking and have voted in the negative and with their feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have always understood that standing up for truth would be a divisive stance, but I never realized that so many would outright reject what is so plainly in front of them and want to drink the kool aid believing things are going to get magically better and that God does not send judgments for behaviors that many believe are no longer considered sinful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This friend states he thinks what I told him over a dozen years ago is coming to fruition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I was more pleased with though, was his insight into the current situation, and mentioned he had been using a methodology taught to me, which I subsequently taught to him, by an organization that is very wise as well as God lead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also sounds like he has been struggling with many in his circle in telling them what he thinks, and it seems we will both have some time to process these matters in a way that will be beneficial and informative to both of us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It seems the battle lines are more demarcated and people have to make decisions they don’t like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not an issue of what one likes or what is comfortable; it is becoming an issue of one being forced to look at the reality around him and having to decide for himself what to do, or not to do about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems those who are choosing to see the reality around them are starting to do something about it, and it is causing existential angst with those who want to continue on with their Polly Anna view of things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems that nearly everyone can tell something is up, but it also seems that the majority of those have a magical view of the world and cannot fathom or accept that our way of life can radically change or even end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There is no pleasure derived by writing about such matters, but it does no good to gloss over what ought to be so apparent and believe all of the talking heads that proclaim ‘the recession is over, or things are getting back on track’ when there is absolutely no evidence of such things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is extremely likely that we all will have to make gut wrenching decisions during the next year, and most are not prepared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is really immoral to see things happening and not put out warnings for people to at least consider. What they do about it is on them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So, it will be those who look with honesty and act on this, which will ultimately find a sense of peace and calmness, despite what those who want to ignore and deny say and do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Action in the right direction will quell most feelings of anxiety and depression one may be feeling, but it first requires the ability to take an honest look at one’s environment and see what is really going on and anticipate where the end of the road will lead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not as difficult as one may think it is, but it will be way more difficult if one chooses the Polly Anna route to only find out they were on the wrong road, and the wolves are all around them with no way out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Over the past several months I have noticed myself pulling away from worldly concerns and finding it more difficult to get excited over matters that seem to be of great importance to the average American.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likewise, I have also noticed that the majority of people I’ve been talking to show little interest in matters I see as important and urgent, and the disconnect is growing more noticeable with each passing day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess it is getting hard to look at the current reality and take it seriously when I believe I am looking at the end of our way of life as we know it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It isn’t an issue of grieving or of regret, but seems to be based more in the realm of action and feeling a need to be accomplishing tasks that are more focused on simplifying life and learning rudimentary skills that really matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The more I do this, the more I realize most of what we consider ‘productivity’ is simply a waste of time and energy, and satisfies those who control our lives and want to instill meaning in their lives by requiring the majority to conform to stupid and senseless rules and regulations that in the end do nothing to add to any quality of life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I recently had an issue with my debit card, and received a call from a collections agency threatening me with some sort of action to be taken if I did not pay some outstanding bill from some product I didn’t order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The funny thing is, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t get upset nor did I care that my ‘credit’ may take a hit from some agency that already knows too much about me and has delved into my personal life without my permission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I responded by saying something like “sue me, and I don’t care what you do to the credit ratings, it’s all a joke anyway’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It left the poor schlep on the phone speechless and dumbfounded to say the least.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like I’m really going to worry about a credit rating when my country advocates deficit spending and counterfeits gross amounts of paper currency to pay off those unworthy of getting the money to begin with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s getting more difficult by the day to take politicians, church leaders, the pro-life management, and those who claim to be ‘conservative’ when they speak of better days and good times, while the whole time spending other people’s money and advocating policies that are detrimental to our physical and spiritual wellbeing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These groups, and I mean all of them, have rigged the game, and I am no longer in the mood to play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could care less if my ‘credit’ scores are low, I could care less if the political party I once belonged to sees me as a charlatan, I could care less if many of the clergy and friends consider me an extremist and want to cut off long term friendships because of this, and I could really care less if the rogue government puts me on some list of ‘domestic terrorists’ due to my beliefs and actions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The majority of the folks I just listed seem to have no inkling or clue that our way of life is coming to a horrible conclusion very soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The garbage that passes as important will end up in the dump to be burned very shortly, and these same folks will be clamoring for help and assistance from the local loony tune they recently mocked and derided.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is amazing how much attitudes can change in short order, or maybe it is more the reality of our situation took root and is now bearing fruit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Either way, I feel very secure in my decisions and actions and it is evidenced in the fact that despite what has gone down in the past few months, I don’t seem to be ‘rocked’ by these events and continue on in action mode.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I guess this is ultimately a result of looking at the tea leaves and realizing either I am way off and missing things, or I am more of the sane one living in an insane world that seems to violate all of the natural laws known to man and seemingly getting away with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given the insanity that passes for sanity, I am betting my view of things is the more accurate of the two, and I am feeling rather content and at peace with this position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I contemplate this Advent, I have more hope that the Lord Jesus soon makes his appearance or at least brings some semblance of peace and tranquility to this rock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all know that with God, all things are possible, and should have learned by now that putting man in charge of anything usually ends in disaster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given the choices we made in this country in the past year, we know who we put in charge of the chicken coop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s interesting how things seem to go in waves and themes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems that events move so quickly that what was once a hot news story or theme, moves along quickly to another, and there can seem to be no relationship to each other, yet be very intimately related upon further investigation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The world and this country had been very enamored with the recent election, that many dubbed ‘the turning point’ based upon what was painted as the ‘largest gap’ or the ‘biggest fundamental difference ever’ between the two established party candidates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personally, this seems to be the biggest load of BS floated along in some time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Republicans found Obama so repulsive that they nominated someone just like him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s really handing us voters a lot to work with!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And they wonder why they lost?!?!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Truth be told, it didn’t matter who won this election, as the cards on the table have to be played, and the deck has been stacked against us from the onset.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no need to be crying over spilled milk, because what was in the cup was spoiled and quite rotted and even the 47% wouldn’t drink it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what needs to be taken from this ‘election’ is the idea and purpose of what the individual needs to do in order to secure his future. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Securing one’s future is first a matter of believing something is going to happen that will require a significant amount of preparation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But how does one prepare, and what do they prepare for?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prepping is not just a matter of collecting supplies and firearms; it requires purpose and vision.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have told people that most of my off work time is spent getting ready for whatever is coming down the pike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many do not understand this, nor do they want to, but to be prepared is to acknowledge that something COULD TAKE PLACE and one is willing to go there, at least mentally to understand what may be required of the individual to survive and thrive in the coming paradigm shift in society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because most people want to live in the realm of make believe or denial (take your pick) the discussions normally lead to ‘you’re nuts’ and other pejoratives instead of constructive conversations and action steps that will result in the lessening of anxiety versus increasing anxiety from denial or worry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, I will go into some of the strategies I use to prepare and how I spend my time doing it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The first shift that takes place is psychologically.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without first working through a paradigm shift and understanding at a core level that things are getting ready to radically change, one will tend to either deny or avoid thinking or contemplating the future in any other form than what one was conditioned to believe in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the most difficult of the processes, and it requires a great deal of time as well as reading and incorporating information that most don’t want to look at, yet act on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is this process that also gives one the ‘why’ in acting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the sole purpose of preparing is to be the ‘last man standing’ there will not be a large incentive or a real striving in what is going on in the world or even in the local community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For people who think this way, it will be one lonely and miserable existence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Along with the psychological shift is spiritual preparedness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without proper spiritual preparedness, one could become paranoid and want to ‘shoot everyone coming within 100 yards’ of the property line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The whole point of preparing and surviving the coming paradigm shift in society is to make this place better and to reinstate core Christian values in whatever community will reform.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order to do that, one must act out of love and compassion for his fellow man but to also instill a work based ethic in those he comes in contact with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have told many of the people who think they are just going to show up and use my stuff, that I will require work out of them and they will need to contribute to the cause, or they need to go elsewhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One needs to be charitable, but one also needs to understand that those who do not see the signs all over and do not get ready, really do not have the insight to have a vote in what they believe will be a democratic process even in small groups.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The next step is to secure the very basics in order to sustain life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This means water, food, shelter and rudimentary self-defense items.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are plenty of resources on the internet that will instruct how to get this done, and it is up to the reader to do this research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the self-defense that one likely will turn into creatures you will not recognize within about 72 hours if they do not have food and water or shelter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is at this time that many well-meaning and ‘liberal’ people will realize they risk their lives by even revealing they have resources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For many who are not ready for this, they will be quite shocked over what a hungry and thirsty person will do when feeling very desperate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One needs to prepare in advance how they are going to handle people who will want to take what they have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many who are prolific writers concerning possible scenarios of collapse think I am too optimistic in my views.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is rather interesting, as I see some of my ideas as rather dark, but then again, I have read some of these writings and they do paint pictures of a very violent and entitled people going after those with resources and putting the blame on those prepared as ‘hoarding’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their mindset continues to be that of entitled, and whatever level of violence they may use to take these resources is justified in their minds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can see their reasoning in this, and do agree that’s how the inner cities will work, but I’m not sure it will be that way everywhere in America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I have no doubt that is what the government will say and they have the ability to disrupt and use greater violence on those who are ready for the times than any wandering group of thugs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At the end of the day, it is the responsibility of the individual to get ready.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is accomplished by doing something every day, and by being steady, more will get done faster than someone trying to ‘cram’ in everything like one does a final exam in college.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doing something every day keeps one’s mind on the subject, as well as staying focused and this will allow for a more comprehensive result that will carry one deep into any crisis that is going to occur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the most important piece of preparing is the why; if you don’t know why you want to get through this, the likelihood is that you will not make it through the times to come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The choice is yours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">George Offerman<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve had multitudes of conversations pertaining to what is happening in the world and how this may or may not relate to the latest election results in this country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personally, I tell people I had little reaction to this election as it seems in many ways was the most irrelevant one in my lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most often, I get amazement from those asking me, as they believed the ‘hype’ that Romney was actually going to do anything differently than Obama.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The truth of the matter is that Romney was chosen by the globalists, and in effect was no different than Obama in matters related to personal freedom and the way this country is being run at the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have told these same folks that I believe this election was an indictment of the American people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The globalists floated in essence the same candidates that are for things like the NDAA, SOPA, TSA and for purchases such as the 1.4 billion hollow pointed rounds that will be used by the very domestic DHS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems as if the American people are more interested in the goodie bags, and employment guarantees at the cost of personal freedoms and rule of law, then either of the globalists elected would have provided these basic needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In any matter, we need to heed this very clear warning and get into action mode.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I know I spent the past year getting my ducks in order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unlike the Church, the pro-life movement and others, we actually need to do the work ourselves, and not depend upon the ‘right candidate’ to get elected and do the heavy lifting for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, that is what just happened and only those used to not working were ‘surprised’ by this outcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as one can see clearly if they take the time to look, very few are making a stink about what is going on, and fewer are doing anything about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we continue on to the abyss at full speed, while the majority concern themselves with whatever trivial pursuits meet their needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This upcoming year will be a doozey compared to this previous year, and by no means, has this year been a picnic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so deep into so many problems that it is amazing life continues on as we know it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is simply the Grace of God, and not the efforts of the incompetent, inbred idiots known as the money powers that have kept us on this road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But there are many signs the party is soon to be ended.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only question is: What are YOU doing to get ready?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not the responsibility of the government, Church or your employer to make sure you are safe and secure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is you, and only you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you sit back and allow others to do the work for you, it is they that have total say so over how you will exist and in what conditions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is that how you want it to be?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am acting like we are entering the final year of preparation time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am acting like my life depends on it, because, in all reality, it does.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am done talking with those who want to endlessly debate what is so apparent, and done wasting precious time that can be better enhanced by learning skills and taking care of matters that will be of such an importance in the near future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone needs to get to a point in which there is a major paradigm shift in their thinking, and it is only then that action takes place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are on the verge of huge change in this country and this change will take place rapidly, and no one will be announcing the change in advance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Things that are simple and taken for granted will simply be gone and the average American will have no clue as to how to take care of these very basic needs without going into major crisis mode.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am writing a piece on judgment and will attempt to connect a lot of the dots I have written about for the past four years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since it is quite the comprehensive piece, it is taking quite a bit of time and I want to make sure it covers the points that are relevant to the premise of judgment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am also contemplating changing this website as I see legalized child killing now a permanent scourge on the American horizon, and honestly believe this January 22, 2013 which will mark the 41<sup>st</sup> year of this holocaust has prophetic relevance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we continue to insist on living by the sword, we will then die by the sword.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God show mercy on those who have stood tall in this war.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
I am coming across severl posts which reflect what I am thinking, but are written much better than what ai could post, so why re invent the wheel? I will be getting back to the pro life/Catholic issues soon.<br />

<div class="CSSBody">
Karl Marx</div>
was asked once how he could justify advocating a political system of slavery for the individual, which is what <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=1901');"><span style="color: #000099;">socialism</span></a> is. He replied that socialism is not slavery; it is a "new kind of freedom." As all perceptive students of history know, the intellectuals of Europe bought into such Alice in Wonderland sophistry and plunged into the twentieth century nightmare of <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=1952');"><span style="color: #000099;">collectivist</span></a> tyranny. But unfortunately, so did American intellectuals about 30 years later when the Progressives of <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=3032');"><span style="color: #000099;">Woodrow Wilson</span></a>'s era established the Creature from Jekyll Island to usher in centralized government banking and the progressive income tax to "spread the wealth around." <br />
<div class="CSSBody">
Socialism is not really so bad, reasoned the American intellectual community. If we think about it, it actually is a "new kind of freedom." </div>
<div class="CSSBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="CSSBody">
We just have to do what the Red Queen and the Mad Hatter advocated. We have to change the meaning of the words that define the fundamental values of our lives. After all, there is no objective reality; words can mean whatever we want them to mean. All we have to do is teach Marx's new definition of freedom to the young at an early enough age that when they grow into adulthood they will not think of a government-dominated society as slavery at all. It will be a "new kind of freedom" to them.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="CSSBody">
Americans never bought into <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=2818');"><span style="color: #000099;">Lenin</span></a>'s violent revolutionary socialism but they did buy into the <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=3018');"><span style="color: #000099;">Fabians</span></a>' democratic evolutionary socialism. Fabian ideas in Britain were readily picked up by the American progressives and liberals of the twentieth century. This redefinition of values has been consuming us now for 100 years ever since the Creature from Jekyll Island and the tax revenuers took over Washington. The progressives and liberals have even redefined their redefinitions. <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=1902');"><span style="color: #000099;">Fascism</span></a>, being basically the same as socialism, is now acceptable in the mix.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="CSSBody">
What is horrifying is that <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=2384');"><span style="color: #000099;">Barack Obama</span></a>'s election victory is tied directly to this corruption of values. We have now elected, for a second time, a man who was raised by <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=1900');"><span style="color: #000099;">communists</span></a> in Hawaii. Obama's mind was forged from the likes of Frank Marshall Davis, a powerful and radical communist apparatchik of the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Davis was Obama's constant companion from the age of 9 to 18 before he went off to Occidental College in Los Angeles. His worldview is thus the Marxian sophistry that socialism is a "new kind of freedom." In the mind of Obama, individuals like Hank Rearden and Dagny Taggart are not entrepreneurial benefactors to their fellow man; they are evil rich people who exploit their fellow man. These evil rich need to be leveled down. And the way to do it is insidiously, governmentally, with ever-expanding redistribution of wealth programs and ever-expanding <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=1892');"><span style="color: #000099;">monetary inflation</span></a>.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="CSSBody">
One of <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=2656');"><span style="color: #000099;">Ayn Rand</span></a>'s powerful insights in <em>Atlas Shrugged</em> is that dictatorships take over because the people actually approve of them. She called it the "sanction of the victim." This attitude now permeates the American electorate. Nietzsche's "slave mentalities" dominate the throngs of voters who determine what our government is to do. The great majority of Americans are demonstrating that they actually want to be enslaved.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="CSSBody">
Rand also made the following observation: When asked once why she voted Republican if she thought both parties had sold out to collectivism, she replied that both parties are headed toward the abyss, but Democrats wish to charge toward it and Republicans wish to creep toward it. She, no doubt, felt that we have more time to educate the people as to what is happening with Republicans in power.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="CSSBody">
Well, America just ran out of time this past election night. A majority of American voters indicated that they believe government owes them a living along with health care, security and self-esteem. They indicated that they are very comfortable with the Fabian march into socialist-fascism that has been taking place ever since the Creature was instituted in 1913. They indicated that they believe rich people don't earn their wealth; they steal it from the kindly masses by siphoning off the surplus productivity of their labor and reducing them to grinding poverty. (This is the fallacious "labor theory of value" that Marx perpetuated.)</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="CSSBody">
Unfortunately, this fallacious reasoning is why so many Americans have become so slothful and are choosing to vote for a living rather than work for a living. It is the reason why so many productive men and women in America are poisoned with guilt and now tolerate the egregious, confiscatory taxes that are destroying the dynamism of our economy and the sanity of our lives. Justice and prosperity cannot be built by catering to slothful masses with theoretical fallacies.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="CSSBody">
The slothful masses now control America through an Orwellian czar in Washington whose mentor was a rabid communist apparatchik in the 1970s and whose close advisors (Bill Ayres, Jeremiah Wright, Valerie Jarrett, etc.) have always been radical leftist haters of America. This Orwellian czar is now a lame duck President and doesn't have to run again. All that blocks him from ravaging our rights and freedoms is a supine Senate and a timid array of House Republicans. Will these political sycophants be able to stand up to him and the new hordes of entitlement seekers that bolster him with their eager votes? Not likely. Congress will, instead, begin to reach out to the new entitlement seekers along with the pressing hordes of illegals and their comrades waiting in the wings for entrance to America.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
<br /></div>
<div class="CSSBody">
Jean Raspail's <em>Camp of the Saints</em> looms over the horizon. Congressional sycophants will begin to emulate Fox News analyst, Kirsten Powers, who gleefully reported on election night, "We are now a brown nation." They will begin to reevaluate their position on the illegals. They will reason that another 15 million illiterate anti-Americans amidst us is no problem. To paraphrase <a href="javascript:showWindow(500,800,'/floatWindow.cfm?id=2841');"><span style="color: #000099;">Nixon</span></a>, "We're all Multiculturalists now."</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
Thus, Obama will push full-blown for amnesty for the illegals and Marx's redefinition of slavery into a "new kind of freedom." We will charge toward the abyss at a speed never before employed. Obama and the Creature will gobble up the last of our freedoms. America will become a giant replica of Greece.</div>

<br />
I came across this article written by Simon Black. There are times one runs into an article that states the point better than what he is able to express, and Mr. Black is talented in that he nails his subject fairly well and consistently. (sent from my home computer at 10:05 pm)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><div align="center">

<div class="CSSBody">
It’s really hard to ignore what’s happening today; the election phenomenon is global.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
Over the last several weeks, I’ve traveled to so many countries, and EVERYWHERE it seems, the US presidential election is big news. Even when I was in Myanmar ten days ago, local pundits were engaged in the Obamney debate. Chile. Spain. Germany. Finland. Hong Kong. Thailand. Singapore. It was inescapable.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
The entire world seems fixated on this belief that it actually matters who becomes the President of the United States anymore… or that one of these two guys is going to ‘fix’ things.</div>
<div class="CSSBody">
Fact is, <strong>it doesn’t matter.</strong> Not one bit. And I’ll show you mathematically:</div>
<blockquote>
<div class="CSSList">
<strong>1)</strong> When the US federal government spends money, expenses are officially categorized in three different ways.</div>
<div class="CSSList">
Discretionary spending includes nearly everything we think of related to government– the US military, Air Force One, the Department of Homeland Security, TSA agents who sexually assault passengers, etc.</div>
<div class="CSSList">
Mandatory spending includes entitlements like Medicare, Social Security, VA benefits, etc. which are REQUIRED by law to be paid.</div>
<div class="CSSList">
The final category is interest on the debt. It is non-negotiable.</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="CSSBody">
<strong>Mandatory spending and debt interest go out the door automatically.</strong> It’s like having your mortgage payment autodrafted from your bank account– Congress doesn’t even see the money, it’s automatically deducted.</div>
<blockquote>
<div class="CSSList">
<strong>2) </strong>With the rise of baby boomer entitlements and steady increase in overall debt levels, mandatory spending and interest payments have exploded in recent years. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office predicted in 2010 that the US government’s TOTAL revenue would be exceeded by mandatory spending and interest expense within 15-years.</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="CSSBody">
That’s a scary thought. Except <strong>it happened the very next year.</strong></div>
<blockquote>
<div class="CSSList">
<strong>3) </strong>In Fiscal Year 2011, the federal government collected $2.303 trillion in tax revenue. Interest on the debt that year totaled $454.4 billion, and mandatory spending totaled $2,025 billion. In sum, mandatory spending plus debt interest totaled $2.479 trillion… exceeding total revenue by $176.4 billion.</div>
<div class="CSSList">
For Fiscal Year 2012 which just ended 37 days ago, that shortfall increased 43% to $251.8 billion.</div>

In other words, <strong>they could cut the entirety of the Federal Government’s discretionary budget</strong>– no more military, SEC, FBI, EPA, TSA, DHS, IRS, etc.– <strong>and they would still be in the hole by a quarter of a trillion dollars.</strong></div>

<strong>4)</strong> Raising taxes won’t help. Since the end of World War II, tax receipts in the US have averaged 17.7% of GDP in a very tight range. The low has been 14.4% of GDP, and the high has been 20.6% of GDP.</div>
<div class="CSSList">
During that period, however, tax rates have been all over the board. Individual rates have ranged from 10% to 91%. Corporate rates from 15% to 53%. Gift taxes, estate taxes, etc. have all varied. And yet, total tax revenue has stayed nearly constant at 17.7% of GDP.</div>

<strong>It doesn’t matter how much they increase tax rates</strong>– they won’t collect any more money.</div>
<blockquote>
<div class="CSSList">
<strong>5) </strong>GDP growth prospects are tepid at best. Facing so many headwinds like quickening inflation, an enormous debt load, and debilitating regulatory burdens, the <strong>US economy is barely keeping pace with population growth.</strong></div>
<div class="CSSList">
<strong>6) </strong>The only thing registering any meaningful growth in the US is the national debt. It took over 200 years for the US government to accumulate its first trillion dollars in debt. <strong>It took just 286 days to accumulate the most recent trillion (from $15 trillion to $16 trillion).</strong></div>
</blockquote>
<div class="CSSBody">
Last month alone, the first full month of Fiscal Year 2013, the US government accumulated nearly $200 billion in new debt– 20% of the way to a fresh trillion in just 31 days.</div>

<div class="CSSList">
<strong>7)</strong> Not to mention, <strong>the numbers will only continue to get worse.</strong> 10,000 people each day begin receiving mandatory entitlements. Fewer people remain behind to pay into the system. The debt keeps rising, and interest payments will continue rising.</div>
<div class="CSSList">
<strong>8) </strong>Curiously, a series of polls taken by ABC News/Washington Post and NBC News/Wall Street Journal show that while 80% of Americans are concerned about the debt, <strong>roughly the same amount (78%) oppose cutbacks to mandatory entitlements like Medicare.</strong></div>
<div class="CSSList">
<strong>9) </strong>Bottom line, <strong>the US government is legally bound to spend more money on mandatory entitlements and interest than it can raise in tax revenue.</strong> It won’t make a difference how high they raise taxes, or even if they cut everything else that remains in government as we know it.</div>

<br />
Happy All Souls day to you. This is a time I think of my late fatehr, as well as all of those who went before. I would like to think of many of these people such as my late father and people who passed recently, such as pro life warrior Dr. Kling are with the Church Triumphant and in heaven with our lord and it is in that hope that I continue to believe.<br />
<br />
It also gives me pause to think of how we who are still here have to live in the Church Militant, and how unjust and persucatorial events still occur to us from malevolent people, who want to appear as caring and concerned, but will go to any lengths to harm and/or destroy one due to whatever deluded thought process happens to enter their crazed heads.<br />
<br />
I wish those of you striving for sanctity, Peace be with you. For the rest: God is watching.George Offermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06163374092479218785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307915881669778717.post-18667088027836093762012-10-31T15:30:00.000-07:002012-10-31T15:31:57.085-07:00BACK TO THE PRESENTGeorge Offerman<br />
<br />
It's now 3:30, no 6:30??? I'm not quite sure, but I know I'm sitting in front of my home computer, and know I didn't do an "I dream of Jeannie" move, and simply blink and was somewhere else. I guess I'm not sure where I am, somewhat reminiscent of the Peter Frampton song "Do you feel like we do?" in that I don't know where I am. I'm pretty sure I know where I was at 3:30 pm today, but have no idea how I got home in a flash and was able to post so quickly. Maybe I should still be somewhere else, but I know I'm here, at home.George Offermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06163374092479218785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307915881669778717.post-44219352621623827122012-10-31T14:04:00.003-07:002012-10-31T14:08:31.051-07:00BACK TO THE FUTUREGeorge Offerman<br />
<br />
This is meant for a select few. Although I mean it to be satirical, I am hoping it is seen this way by those who have the most concern about 'time'. You see, the time stamp on the bottom of this post will read at least an hour before certain information became privvy to me. So, in essence, what I have stated from the onset is true, or I have a really cool time machine that allows me to go into the future to see what transpires. (I would rather have the cool time machine, but it's not going to happen)<br />
<br />

The current time is 4:22 pm There seems to be some dispute about the times listed on these postings, and so this is a test (will explain later) George Offermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06163374092479218785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307915881669778717.post-46636828103419977602012-10-12T13:34:00.000-07:002012-10-12T13:34:41.857-07:00ONE REAL CATHOLIC<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Last night’s debate was unique and remarkable for many differing reasons, but the one that stood out for me was the huge distinctions between the two candidates when asked how their faith had personally formed them and how it affects their political decisions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The moderator pointed out that this debate was a historical first, given both candidates are ‘Catholic’ and it would seem that Catholicism would have some influence on who they are as men, and how they go about making the political decisions that they do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Outside of each candidate verbalizing they are Catholic; there couldn’t be more of a contrast than what was witnessed by their words.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Paul Ryan had the distinction of going first to this question, and the Congressman answered the question like one would if he believed in God as supreme being and accepted the fact that those who proclaim to being Catholic have certain tenets that are non negotiable and sacred.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Ryan’s position was very solid and articulate, and he was able to verbalize the Church’s teachings and positions on issues like abortion as one who claims to be Catholic ought to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Ryan was abundantly clear that if one truly believes life starts at conception, and that life is a divine right, that no one has the authority to take this from another.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Joe Biden also reiterated he was a ‘lifelong practicing Catholic’ and too, believes in the fact that life starts at conception.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, where Mr. Biden fell apart and followed the ‘liberal logic’ is his insisting ‘I can’t inflict my beliefs onto others’ and have ‘no right to tell a woman what to do with her body’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Biden then goes on to demonstrate how no one really has a ‘right to demagogue’ in matters of faith, and in essence attempted to separate personal beliefs from the duty to govern, or to be qualified to be effective in the political process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, for Mr. Biden, he can be Catholic when it comes to Sunday Mornings, and going to Holy Communion, but don’t bother him with anything that resembles faith when in the public venue.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Why this seems so remarkable on the surface is the fact that Mr. Biden and his crony criminal in chief partner have no difficulties at all ‘imposing their values and beliefs’ onto the American people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What does one call mandatory participation in hell care?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What does one call all of the insane laws and regulations of getting on an airplane?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What about paying taxes?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, how about the ‘right’ to make over 1 million dollars per year and being forced to ‘pay a little more’ so the rest who are not as ‘lucky’ get a piece of the action?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Biden had no problem chastising those high income earners, and seemed to have no restraint in stating they will pay more.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
It was also interesting (with the help of the ‘mediator’) how Biden sidestepped Mr. Ryan’s question about the criminal in chief’s administration ‘imposing’ onto the Catholic Church the requirement to provide birth control and other ‘reproductive services’ to its employees, as well as offer these services to their clientele.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Biden didn’t even attempt to answer this question, and immediately went onto a personal attack at how Mr. Ryan is ‘imposing’ his beliefs onto others, and he along with his crony administration is ‘proud’ of this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, according to Biden, the only requirement to be Catholic is to just declare it so, and then do whatever is on one’s heart to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Isn’t that an imposition of Biden’s definition onto all believers?)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
In Mr. Ryan’s view of Catholicism, one needs to fight for the less fortunate and those such as the unborn, who are unable to fight for themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For Mr. Biden, Catholicism is something you do on Sunday and leave it in the church pew when exiting after receiving Communion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Catholicism of Mr. Biden is that of a social status; it’s merely out of habit of going and has little to no substance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Ryan appears to take his faith seriously enough that he understands the causality and linkages of violating God’s laws to the very apparent consequences of this action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is in this distinction that we saw who the real Catholic was, and it happened to be the one who behaved himself and treated another who was being extremely disrespectful and disruptive when the real Catholic explained his position.<o:p></o:p></div>
