“America will not reject abortion until America sees abortion”
Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for life
Fr. Frank Pavone could not be clearer on the need to use graphic images to ‘sear’ this crime against humanity into the psyche of America. His words ring true, and lay the groundwork for ultimate victory over the forces of death, who at this time, dominate America’s landscape. It is also true that most of the pro life movement has not had the opportunity to get their message out in this very biased MSM, and they have forever griped and complained about this bias. Well, we now have the greatest opportunity EVER to get the unvarnished truth out to the masses in the nation’s capital, and those that have griped and complained need to pony up and get the job done.
The campaign laws allow for campaign ads to be shown without editing by any of the media outlets. Mrs. Smith’s ads show the grisly truth in very graphic detail about the crimes against humanity known as legalized child killing. NEVER BEFORE has the nation’s capital been exposed to ads like this, and most likely, this opportunity will NEVER COME AGAIN. To support this endeavor is such a no brainer that even zombies would get it and fund it. Now we will see if the pro life movement puts their money where their mouths are and sends money.
Many have responded “Mrs. Smith met her goal”. Well, these ads should be running so often that Nancy Pelosi’s television should burst into flames, and the liberal establishment will be afraid to watch any programming until after the election. So it is my heartfelt request to all of the pro life organizations to not only open up their distribution lists and email Mrs. Smith’s site, but to also endorse Mrs. Smith’s candidacy, and encourage everyone with two pennies in their pockets to fund these commercials. My wife and I have donated $200 and I am challenging those out there to match, or give what they can.
www.missysmith2010.com
I am calling on the following to link to Mrs. Smith’s site: Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, Gregg Cunningham of CBR, and Peter Shinn of Pro life unity, both organizations that are at the forefront of utilizing graphic pictures and imagery in public. Judy Brown of American Life League, Joe Scheidler of Pro Life Action League, Marjorie Dennenfelser of the Susan B. Anthony List, Jim Sedlack of STOPP, NRLC, Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America, Reverend Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, Kristin Hawkins of Students for Life, Troy Newman and Jeff White, Life Site News and Life News, Jill Stanek, Rev. Bob Schenck, and Fr. Paul Schenck, and all of the numerous blogs and sites out there who are truly invested in getting the Thugs in Washington D.C. to view their crimes in progress.
There is no question these ads, and the candidacy of Missy Smith will shake up the establishment in ways they cannot even begin to imagine. This will also force the issue of legalized child killing front and center in the nation’s capital, and show in very graphic detail the nature of the deeds, and the evil behind people like Pelosi who have been at the forefront of the culture of death. We need to be rid of these people, and we need to get this message out, unvarnished and naked, and this is truly our ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity. We do not want to miss this opportunity and have the case of “I wish I had done something” come November 3rd when this matter is all said and done.

MOST OUT THERE DON'T GET IT
George Offerman
Today we are going to look at the groups who don’t get it about the times we live in, or the opportunity we have to effect real change in the upcoming races for the House and Senate. Sure, these organizations talk a good game, but at the end of the day, they will obey their puppet masters and will take a mediocre position as to not offend the enemy, and then they will claim victory that should be credited to the tea party. Then the standard operating procedure for them will kick into high gear: they will fund raise, and obtain millions through fraud; taking credit for other’s work and then claim “We are winning this war, keep funding us”.
Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life has stated clearly “America will not reject abortion until America sees abortion”. Well, Fr. Frank and all the others who have held to this position are now getting their wish with Missy Smith. Now, Let’s see if they put their money where their mouth is, and follow through. So far Fr. Frank has endorsed Missy Smith, but my wife tells me that she posted a link on Fr. West’s face book wall, and it has been deleted. Fr. West is associated with Priests for Life. Also, April Klazema, Communications and blogger relations supervisor has contacted me in regards to interviewing Fr. Frank. I am currently attempting to set this up. The Susan B. Anthony list also contacted me and has inquired into my interest in linking blogs and information. So, I will be holding off any commentary on either of these groups until I hear (or don’t hear) back.
We will start with the National Right to Life. This group most recently supported pro death Senator Scott Brown in Massachusetts, and have had questionable endorsements for years, if not decades. The National Right to Life is the most prominent pro-life group out there, and they have embraced and practiced incrementalism from the onset. This group, more than any other in the nation, has lead the pro life movement into the abyss where it continues to languish as a gutted and inconsequential movement, that only now looks like it has life because of the tea party. Again, taking credit for work done by others.
From the National Right to Life, we can look at many if not most of the State Right to Life organizations, which for the most part, tow the line with the National office. They sell their wares as if they are truly pro life, and end up endorsing the ‘lesser of the evil’ candidates and peddle this as pro life. Little accountability of those elected, and the elected congressmen and Senators have little to no fear of these groups. These groups, almost to a ‘tee’ do not use controversial and charged language, and downplay graphic images. They play softball with the enemy and try to sell this as the major league.
Then we have the press, which starts from the USCCB on down to the diocesan level, to the ‘ghetto’ press, the Internet presence, blogs and internet sites that want to claim to be the number one source of pro-life news. (I do have to give Kudos to Steve Ertelt and life news for covering Missy’s campaign, but we need to see more, a lot more) these are some of the same groups that gripe about ‘media blackout’ but are guilty of doing this to Mrs. Smith’s campaign. Please, don’t gripe in the future when the MSM does this to you in the future. This is called sowing and reaping.
This is an opportunity for the pro life movement to do something that will get the attention of the elite in this country, but those in charge of the organizations must understand that it will move them beyond their comfort zones, and ‘piss off’ the enemy. The way God wants it to be.

THERE ARE SOME OUT THERE WHO GET IT
George Offerman
I am feeling more optimistic about some of the pro lifers out there. There are those who understand that Missy Smith’s candidacy is in the right place at the right time, and that when one steps out in faith, God responds in mysterious and wonderful ways. Notice I did not say often or a lot. I have implied that God always will respond when one walks in faith, and this will be no exception. Mrs. Smith’s candidacy is going to shake up the establishment, and what it will do is to show who the real players and leaders are, versus the pretenders and frauds.
This posting is mainly kudos for those who stepped out of their comfort zones, and are in the fight. For those of you who have not yet seen Missy Smiths commercials to be aired in the ‘belly of the beast’ known as Washington, D.C, they are very eye opening and graphic. No one EVER in ANY race, whether Congressional or Senatorial, has ever used graphics and language that Mrs. Smith will be using; because they have not had the CONVICTION Mrs. Smith has to this cause. We have 20 days left to shake things up, and like many in the tea party have demonstrated, anything can happen. But we must be out there and walking in faith for this to occur.
This is a partial list of those who have endorsed Mrs. Smith in her race against the pro death, pro homosexual marriage Eleanor Holmes Norton. Congressman Trent Franks, Dr. Alan Keyes, former Ambassador and Presidential Candidate of the American Independence Party as well as fellow ND88’er, Rev. Walter Hoye, Pastor Luke Robinson, Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, and Ambassador Margaret Heckler. These are a few who have stepped out in faith, and see the viability of Mrs. Smiths’ run, and are not fearful of being associated with someone who is willing to show the world the truth about legalized child killing, in graphic pictures and language.
There are those less known who deserve Kudos, but have nonetheless been instrumental in getting the word out. Diane Roccograndi and Joan McKee, both ND 88’ers have worked tirelessly on this campaign from the onset and are burning the midnight oil trying to get the sleeping pro life movement to get their act together. A daunting and unenviable task to say the least. However, I am going to spotlight a gentleman that no one in the pro life circles has heard of… until today, as getting the kudos of the week.
Christopher Faulds has been a regular reader of the pro life defender blog, and has taken it upon himself to work on informing as many people as possible about Mrs. Smith, and has spent much time in emailing and contacting many prominent pro life groups and Catholic groups in this country from… France. Yes, this gentleman, from the U.K. and currently living in France has been extremely active in drumming up support for an American congressional candidate. I will list below some of the people and organizations he has attempted to contact, and will include at the bottom a statement he sent out, that captures the essence and feelings of many in the pro life movement.
I have emailed spiritdaily, catholicvote, lifesitenews, catholiccity and Wendy Curkierski Teresa Tameo, Sister Ann Shields, America Needs Fatima and RNClife.org I have also emailed Steve Ray and Peter Herbeck posted the following on Catholic Answers. Next job I'm going to try and get hold of Al Cresta.
Christopher
Then Mr. Faulds sent me a blind copy of this email.
Hi Peggy,
I do not know if this is the right place to ask this question but........ I'm not in the US but am a regular reader of the Prolife press, Catholic radio and Catholic talks and I cannot understand why it seems that nobody is giving any time to Missy Reilly Smith who is running for election in Washington. A few times in the past I have breathed a sigh of a relief for America when a Prolife candidate gets voted in and then end up sighing in disappointment when they back track or water down their view. I have lived in the hope that someone would step forward who has the courage to share their faith and stand by it and I see this in Missy Reilly Smith and it seems that everyone has fallen asleep!
Christopher
This young man embodies the fighting spirit we need to see over here, and he is doing more from another continent than many who are in the area, that only need to write a check, make a phone call, or simply pass on emails. Kudos to you, Christopher, and keep up the good work.
Tomorrow, we will look at the organizations that ought to be on this list, but are not.

WHERE ARE THE PRO LIFERS?
George Offerman
Three weeks out now from the elections and where are the pro lifers? There’s a lot of ‘gaming’ going on, and many pro lifers and their organizations are ‘piggybacking’ on the efforts of the tea party. We have viable candidates, and there seems to be little energy by our side in this most pivotal of times and election cycles. We have one of the greatest opportunities to make a difference, and it is business as usual for most. (gee, why are we losing?)
Missy Reilly Smith, running for congress in Washington, D.C. has some of the best credentials of ANY pro life candidate EVER and she is essentially being ‘iced out’ by most of the mainstream pro life groups and prominent individuals. Mrs. Smith has the first hand knowledge of legalized child killing, and the BOLDEST ads that will be shown on television, if we get it together and sponsor them. They will run in the ‘belly of the beast’ here in the D.C. area, and the likes of Pelosi on down will be exposed to them. The real effects of child killing will be exposed for all to see. Finally, with these ads we will have the ability to debate and show how grisly this crime against humanity actually is.
It is totally astounding that the pro lifers are not lining up behind this effort (or maybe it isn’t). We have to be able to call these forces out before the destruction is done, because too many will do too much ‘Monday morning quarterbacking’ about the ‘missed opportunities’ when the opportunities were in the open for all to see. These ads challenge the safety and comfort level of all who see them, and for too many pro lifers, it will be a place they are unwilling to go, so it is better, in their minds at least, to go with the ‘safer’ candidate, the ones who are not controversial and ‘in your face’. We are too late in the game to placate the enemy any more and it is time to take the gloves off and fight this war like real warriors and not wimps.
The following letter is from Missy Smith, and we need to put our money where our mouths are.
Well, the day has arrived that we have all been waiting for! It's been 38 long years of media blackout on the issue of legalized child killing. I am running for Congress in Washington D.C. with the express purpose of running political ads on tv of graphic pictures of healthy and dead babies.
As Father Frank Pavone, the most famous pro-life priest in the world, has said, "America will not reject abortion until America sees abortion"!
So here I am, Missy "Reilly" Smith, in "the belly of the beast", Washington D.C. on the ballot running against big government, pro-child killing, same sex marriage incumbent Eleanor Holmes Norton.
The two ads I have made for my campaign are up on my website missysmith2010.com and they are jolting! Watch them and tell me what you think. And then tell everyone you know to dig deep into their pockets and give until it hurts, as Mother Teresa would say.
We know these ads will save babies and get the dialogue started that is so needed. No one can see these ads and not realize that abortion is murder.
Tell everyone that we have a small window of opportunity in the next 22 days and not a moment more. Once the election is over the possibility to run these ads is over.
We must rise and strike now! I am thrilled to be a part of this amazing opportunity to change history and show the horror of legalized child killing.
God bless this chance we have to show the truth in our nation's capitol where Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Norton all support and promote legalized child killing.
Pass this information on to others. Time is of the essence!
God bless you,
Missy "Reilly" Smith
Candidate for Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives

WE NEED YOUR HELP
George Offerman
The elections are a little more than three weeks away, and we need your help with funding Missy Smith’s campaign. Mrs. Smith is truly a candidate this movement has needed and we need to get her messages on the airwaves. Her campaign commercials will be run on some large, but local networks in the D.C. area, but the nations main power brokers will be exposed to them and there will be no denying the powerful impact they will have. I am putting a link to Mrs. Smith’s site in this posting, and challenging everyone who reads this to look at these commercials, and then give whatever you can afford to give (then pass it around to all of your pro life contacts).
www.missysmith2010.com
We have seen miracles happen with candidates across this country this election cycle, and it is not impossible for Mrs. Smith to pull this victory off, but we need for the pro life community and the Christian community to stand up and put their money where their mouth is. Mrs. Smith stands for all of the positions of those of the tea party, as well as being a staunch pro lifer and pro marriage. Mrs. Smith is a candidate we have been pushing for decades, and we now have an opportunity to show our unity in putting 100% of our efforts behind Mrs. Smith.
So far, I have not seen the ‘pro life’ media even mention Mrs. Smith’s candidacy, and it seems they do not appear to be forthcoming in an endorsement. Since the ‘pro life’ media, and the church will not come forward and do the morally right thing, it is up to the pro life community to step forward in making these elections possible. If one goes to Mrs. Smiths website, they will soon learn of how hard Mrs. Smith has worked for this cause, and the positive impact she has had over the years. This is not a ‘smoke and mirrors’ or ‘bait and switch’ candidate, but someone who knows this fight intimately, and has the passion and ability to force this into open debate within the halls of Congress.
Mrs. Smith needs to raise $10,000 in the next few days to get her commercials on the air in the Washington, D.C. area. Go to Mrs. Smith’s campaign site, and watch these two commercials Mrs. Smith has created. They are powerful, and will get the attention of the elite in this town. My wife and I have donated $200 or 2% of what Mrs. Smith needs to get these commercials on the air. I am asking of the pro life community to step forward and put their money where their mouth is, and get the word, as well as the graphic images, out into the nation’s capital. There is no better way than to get as many eyeballs to see these images and to hear this message. And it is the most effective pro life message out there of any of the ‘pro life’ candidates.
This is our chance to get the biggest ‘bang for the buck’ out there. We have to have our voices heard in this matter, and do not have the luxury of putting this off. We are in a great time of change in this country, and the opportunity to effect such change may be limited from here on out, if we don’t take advantage of it now. So go to the site, and the donate section is on the right side top corner. We also need to put pressure on the pro life organizations that do not want to see Mrs. Smith as a 'viable' candidate, when they have given to RINO's lavishly over the last decades, and have not seemed to mind spending the money then.

WHY GOD'S MONEY IS GOING TO WIN OUT IN THE END
George Offerman
There are those who have yet to ‘get it’ about the times and situations we are living in, and want to continue to put faith in the fiat currency that is used world wide. Never in the history of the world has every nation used paper money and not God’s money, and this is the ultimate set up for the largest opportunity in world history to transfer wealth to those who understand and obey the Word of God. No matter how much one studies the Bible; they will NEVER find any of God’s references to money as being paper script. God’s references about money are ALWAYS GOLD AND SILVER.
For one to grasp the ‘dollar amount’ I am going to give silver at the end of this posting, they first must make a paradigm shift in their head. This is similar to an adult learning a second language: they want to convert the new language to their native language in their head, and thus, it takes much longer than a child, who ‘rolls with the punches’ and is babbling fluently in a new language in about 2 weeks. So I will be referring to silver by the ounce, not by denomination like we are used to. But before that, there needs to be an understanding of what money is.
Money’s primary purpose is as a medium of exchange, in which it can be used to buy or exchange one item for another between two individuals who agree on the value of the items. Money must be divisible, durable, portable, limited in supply, a stable unit of account and fungible, and mostly a stable medium of storage over time. If we look at modern currency, it has some of these elements, but it fails in the most important aspects that it is unlimited through printing and as a result inflation is killing its ability to be a stable medium of storage for wealth over time. For all practical purposes, a $100 note is no different than a $1 note, and these pieces of paper do not have any intrinsic value. By printing more of these ‘notes’, the notes in circulation become worth less, and it is this hidden tax, called inflation, that ultimately causes the problems we are experiencing at this time.
Gold and silver, however, are very limited and have great intrinsic value. These precious metals must be discovered, mined, refined and minted before they can be circulated, and this is a process that involved a great deal of labor. An FRN $100 face value is created for $.04 and is limited only by the number of trees that can be cut down and processed into paper. When money is limited, there is no inflation, and the greatest aspect of money, holding its value to be passed on, is left intact. If one were to bury 100 oz of silver coins, and a $100 FRN, and these were dug up in 100 years, the silver would minimally have maintained its value, while the $100 FRN would end up in a museum as an ‘artifact’. There can be no comparison in a material that is rare and takes a great deal of effort to obtain, versus something that can be printed at will, and have zeros added to it by proclamation. There is no question we are at a turning point in our economic history and if one wants to have any chance of surviving intact, they’d better look at God’s money as part of the solution.
Why are the precious metals going up now? Because people around the world, no matter what religion, political affiliation or level of education know that gold and silver are money, and understand it is the safest place to be when all other forms of money fail. This was instilled by God, and all of the ‘sophisticated thinking’ will never drive this out of man. Good luck to the incompetent, inbred idiots known as the money powers, as they try to force their toilet paper down the throats of the people. Too many have woken up to the fact that this multi colored monopoly paper is worthless, and have been exchanging it for the real thing, and causing a shortage in the metals. Good luck holding the price down, you idiots.
Now, to the piece in this posting most want to see. I have long held these prices in my head, and have told a few people privately where I think the prices should be, and where they may possibly go. To fully understand the quotes I will soon give, will require a paradigm shift. One must think of money as a tangible asset, mainly coinage, and that it is the coinage in exchange for goods that is the main engine of commerce. To try to convert this into dollars all of the time will result in headaches, but also numbers so large that they will seem to be out of reality as we know it. The prices I will be quoting are coming from simple math equations and historical and Biblical data.
Where should the price be today? History shows that for much of the existence of our country, good daily wages for skilled labor was 1 ounce of silver (1 dollar). If we look at today’s average wage (source: U.S. Department of Labor) we come out with two numbers. The median income in America, including all part time and seasonal workers comes out to $16.27 per hour or $130.20 per 8 hour day. Excluding part time and seasonal, this increases to $20.20 per hour or $161.60 per 8 hour day. If we look at the nominal high of silver in 1980 at $50, and consider the real rate of inflation using John Williams www.shadowstats.com site, we come up with $178.00. So, starting with the most conservative of these numbers (and remember 1 oz of silver per day was for skilled labor) we come up with a minimal price per ounce in 2010 dollars of $130.20, to a maximum of $178.00 for inflation adjusted prices.
If those numbers are eye popping, these will truly get your attention. If we go by much of the world history, and Biblical times, the average pay per day was a denarius, which most historians and Biblical scholars agree was about a tenth of an ounce of silver. We also know from Revelation that a day’s wages again will be a denarius. So, we know that in the past, and in the future a day’s wages stayed the same. If one ponders this, it shows: 0% inflation!!!!!! That is truly in the realm of what God expects and what ought to be the way thing are now.
So using these numbers, we then multiply all of the above numbers by 10, to come up with a range between $1302.00 and $1780.00 per ounce. And this is in 2010 dollars. Considering that most ‘hot commodities’ enter what is called a bubble, and the most recent bubbles have ‘overshot’ the real values (such as homes 3-4 years ago) we can multiply these numbers by 2-3, or come up with a range between $2604.00- $3906.00 on the low range to $3560.00 - $5340.00 on the high range. One needs to study the history of money, and precious metals to begin to understand the potential in them. The price of precious metals will continue to rise because they are undervalued and are being attacked from all angles by the money powers.
The ultimate reason the precious metals will rise to unbelievable heights is because God, the creator of all things, has mandated it. The incompetent, inbred idiots know as the money powers cannot mock God, and ‘trash’ his money without severe consequences. These idiots soon will pay this price, and those smart enough to get on this train are going for a ride of a lifetime.

HERMENEUTICS 101: JACOB AND JOSEPH
George Offerman
The story of Jacob and Joseph is very fascinating; in the sense it is one of the few that has a father and son combination that has eschatological ramifications that continue to play out today (and in the times of Revelation). Jacob, known as the trickster, eventually becomes the father of Israel and the twelve tribes, and Joseph models devotion and loyalty, foreshadowing the Christ, and eventually becomes one of the best administrators the world has ever seen.
Jacob was born the second of the twins, and was grasping Esau’s heel upon birth. This was a sign that began the fulfillment of God’s prophecy that the two represented two distinct nations, and would be divided. Jacob then went on to steal Esau’s birthright as well as blessing, and ultimately had to flee into the desert and to his Uncle Laban’s
While serving his uncle Laban, Jacob himself was tricked twice and ultimately had to flee from Laban after the Lord Blessed Jacob with large and strong flocks, leaving Laban’s weak and smaller.
We can see in this story, the law of sowing and reaping, in that Jacob deceived his older brother by initially bribing him with stew to get his birthright, and then deceiving his blind father Isaac with a meal to obtain Esau’s blessing. Jacob then reaps when deceived by Laban, and then has to go back to his own land and face Esau. Jacob is then tricked by his own children when they deceive him by making claims that Joseph was killed by a wild animal, when he was actually sold into slavery. Given that Jacob is seen as one of the ‘big three’ by God, when God introduces himself to those later on, Jacob nonetheless, still dealt with the consequences of his sinful behavior, and had like events happen to him.
Jacob redeems himself by repairing the damaged relationships by being humble, and ultimately struggles with an angel/Lord and requests a blessing from this being, which he gets. Jacob’s name is then changed to Israel, and he then becomes the father to the nation of Israel, with his twelve children representing the twelve tribes. Joseph is one of those sons, and his story has reflections of the coming Messiah in it.
Joseph was the older of two sons born to Rachel, the younger of the two sisters Jacob married. Joseph was favored over the other sons and this caused jealousy among them. Joseph also had two dreams, in which his brothers were ultimately going to bow down before him, and he would have authority over them. The brothers conspired to kill Joseph, but instead sold Joseph into slavery for pieces of silver. Up to this time, Joseph had done no wrong, but was envied by his brothers due to blessings given to him, and having much of his father’s attention.
Even in captivity, Joseph stayed true to his understandings and belief in God. God rewarded this by blessing Joseph abundantly, and Joseph was greatly liked and respected by those who had a chance to know him. Unfortunately, Potiphar’s wife chose to pursue Joseph sexually, and ultimately accused Joseph of raping her when he did everything humanly possible to avoid offending God and committing sexual sins with her. Joseph ended up in jail for over ten years as an innocent man, and did not find bitterness or resentment in his heart. This models the longsuffering of the Christ, and how he did not complain or allow his circumstances to dictate his love for the truth.
Joseph continued to have dreams, and was able to interpret the dreams of the two men in Pharaoh’s court. Despite saving the one, this man ‘forgot’ about Joseph for another two years. Upon the time of pharaoh’s dreams pertaining to the seven years of good and seven years of famine, no one but Joseph was able to interpret them, and as a result, Joseph was elevated to the second in command of all of Egypt, which at the time was the world power. God was able to use an evil act of brothers selling their brother into slavery, to having his will accomplished by giving the second most powerful position in the world (at that time) to a ‘foreigner’ and former slave. This has shades of the coming messiah, coming in the form of a slave, but ultimately demonstrating that he is the king of kings and lord of lords to all righteous men.
Joseph’s brothers did not recognize Joseph upon entering the city to buy grain, but Joseph recognized them. The story of josephs revelation is too long to duplicate here, but the points that re relevant are the dreams came true, the family did bow to Joseph, and that God’s promise to Joseph and Joseph’s fidelity to God was rewarded in ways that Joseph could not have imagined. Joseph also could not have become the number two man in the world, had he not been sold into slavery. So, even with the evil intentions of the brothers, God made his will happen, even though many of the circumstances could have resulted in Joseph giving up, becoming angry and resentful, and taking on a victim’s role.
The story of Jacob and Joseph show how those who are close to God still ‘mess things up’ and God is always ready to forgive and make right what was wrong. However, the consequences of bad behavior are also paid, and need to be dealt with. This God, who is unchanging, continues to act in a consistent manner, even though we in this modern world like to believe we know better, and have control over our circumstances. Very few show the tenacity either of these men had, and therefore, we are very lost sheep in very dark times. These stories give us hope that God will not abandon us at our critical hour, and that all matters, regardless of circumstances, can be made good by the grace of God.
