Run For The Hills

The most basic instinct of a human being, or even most of the lower animals for that matter, is to run from trouble. I remember, in Africa, my driver came up on a pride of lions. Lions sleep on their back with their legs up in the air. They were all lying, sleeping, not in the least excited by the Jeep, it's driver or the very scared man in the back seat. Any one of these lions, with one swat of his paw, could have eliminated us. The lions had no reason for alarm.

Americans have reason for alarm. If, you pay any attention to news reports each day, you are demented if not alarmed. Just think, involved in two wars which we are losing, invaded by non-citizens who are taking up space in schools, hospitals, jails … all at the taxpayer's expense, a depression which will make the Great Depression of the 1930s, eventually, seem like a cake walk. The final takeover of our Democratic republic by the forces of communist, totalitarian, authoritarian control without the firing of a shot. The last vestige of our privacy, our security, the takeover of our health systems. In my lifetime, choice students, those who could pay the freight, make the deal, willing to keep their nose at the grindstone conquered the healthcare curriculum. From the family doctor in the horse and buggy, making house calls, to the highly trained specialist in a renowned clinic we had the sacredness of choice. The professor graded your paper by hand. He knew you, knew your strengths and weaknesses. The school prepared a doctor for success clinically, morally and financially. Today, professors in most healthcare occupations barely know the student. This extends to all professions and occupations. Today, you are fortunate indeed if your doctor even makes skin contact or eye contact with you.

In the average doctors office, assembly line care, he or she is too busy racing from one examining room to the other mostly depending on lab tests and the computer. You think it is bad now, just wait until thirty to forty million insured are waiting in the office for care. In the new system, you pay the insurance ahead of time and everyone will want to make sure they get their money's worth.

If you tolerate injustice it will grow. Satan teaches you how to lie, God does not know anything about it. The population has been trained, mostly because of the public schools, to yield and kneel to government control. States and communities have just learned to roll over, not fight anything. Like your old dog, just roll over and play dead. In the squalor of contentment, even in churches, once responsible people have become fat and lazy … dumbed down by a state controlled news media and, the pablum of just accepting anything anywhere, anytime.

“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” (Ecc 8:11)

If you tolerate injustice, ambiguity, incompetence, it will only grow. Most of us want to be popular, accepted by everyone. We actually believe the Dale Carnegie slop, How To Win Friends and Influence People, we want everyone to like us. Instead of training children, most parents want their children to be their “friend”. Not one person in God's word, leader, prophet, Disciple, Apostle was popular. Our blessed Lord, the only perfect man who ever lived was flogged mercilessly and then hung naked on a cruel cross. He broke up every funeral procession he ever met, healed the sick, fed the hungry but even the religious people of his day chose Barabbas, a thief, instead of him.

The socialist wants to be paid for anything even for digging a useless hole. The capitalist, the Christian conservative, wants to be paid for contributing to the world through his work, his study, his time.

The most selfish thing I know is to accept bad behavior because, you do not want bad behavior to affect you … you know that if you say something about bad behavior, you will be unpopular. You can be sure that the Joel Osteens of this world do not have the big following they have because they are preaching sins ruin and Christ's redemption. The thousands who listen to Joel Osteen, both in his colosseum and on television want to be entertained with nice jokes and pleasant platitudes. My only child, my son, is a professor at one of SBC's largest seminaries. Very much, a chip off the old block, he is an outstanding speaker. On a recording, to a congregation I heard him say, “I want all of you to like me”. I thought to myself, “you have much to learn”. Even the best preacher in the world was disliked by some. Jesus Christ washed the feet of Judas before Judas betrayed him.

If you are loved by the world, if you are politically correct, if you can support the Democrat party with your vote and money, believing in Darwinian evolution, abortion, gay marriage, I'm here to tell you, you are not Christian, according to what I know about God's word. Lazy and apathetic children will be lazy and apathetic adults. A nation consumed by evil will soon be consumed (Just read your newspaper).

The world was practically shut down last week by one volcano … it is expected that the one next to it will now erupt as it did 100 years ago. There are earthquakes almost every week. Yellowstone is very active. Just the steam and acrid lava from Yellowstone could paralyze this entire country.

Obama says the craziest things. Recently he said, “America is number one whether we like it or not”. Would he like it better if Iran or Saudi Arabia was number one, or perhaps China? China is almost number one. He has done more than anyone else to make it number one … exports, manufacturing, particularly of automobiles, Marxist influences all over the world particularly South America and Africa?

Adam Smith said, “anything that creates value in this world is what you do for others”. We are truly in a handout, bailout society. The Christian principle of “others” is long gone. The norms we have today involve greed … greed in banking, greed in political influence, greed in racism and greed in the division of culture … the haves against the have-nots.

You are in a warfare for survival, don't depend on the government, don't depend on your luck … run for the hills.

Czars and Marx

For many years, I was a member of volunteer services for children in NYC, often called “shelters for children”. This was a group of philanthropy-minded New Yorkers who gave money for shelters all over the world for homeless children. I kept a co-op apartment in NY for many years and became active in this group, traveled around the world with some of their members, developing shelters for homeless children.

At a meeting of the organization on the Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, I went to the men's room and as blind people often do, got completely turned around and went to a meeting of another group. Of course, these people didn't know who I was; but it is seldom that anyone will be unkind to a blind person. So, I sat down and listened to what was going on, thinking I was in the right place. I soon found out that I was in the wrong meeting. It was a meeting of a Union group in NY which was mostly Communist in nature. At a little break in the proceedings, one man brought me over some coffee and a dough nut and introduced me to several others. I was welcomed as one of them. They did not have a clue about my political status; and often you learn more if you just stay quiet. At the end of the meeting, a meeting which was much more exciting than the one I was there to attend, one said, we are going over on the west side to a meeting of the local party and Gus will be there. I learned later, after I met him, this was Gus Hall, Chairman of the Communist Party USA, who lived in Yonkers and who died at age 90 around the year 2000.

I have often wondered what people are like who fall into the entrapment of the Socialist way of thinking. I had met some Communists in college and had been exposed to socialism and Communism in various places around the world. But, how and why Americans will get involved in a system which features the overthrow of everything we hold dear in our democratic republic is beyond me. One thing I did find in talking with these young Communists, not one had ever been in a truly Communist country. They had no idea of the enslavement involved. They only knew then, as now, that they hated this country because as they saw the limousines, opulence and lifestyles of the “rich and famous” in Manhattan, they felt they had missed out on the American dream and that there must be a better system such as the Marxist totalitarian “the end justifies the means” control system.

As I studied the Obama political philosophy, his background, those with who he associated, it has been obvious to me that we have a strange combination in the White House, a Marxist Muslim. In repudiation of the Constitution, in direct contradiction to everything we hold essential in our system of checks and balances, he has selected 32 so called czars to handle much of the American system of government and billions of tax dollars. If his health insurance program is passed he will add a health czar, and then a cyber czar and copywright czar, making 35. The other 32 are as follows:

1.Afghanistan Czar - Richard Holbrooke
2.AIDS Czar * - Jeffrey Crowley
3.Auto Recovery Czar - Ed Montgomery
4. Border Czar * - Alan Bersin
5.California Water Czar - David J. Hayes
6.Car Czar - Ron Bloom
7.Central Region Czar - Dennis Ross
8.Climate Czar - Todd Stern
9. Domestic Violence Czar - Lynn Rosenthal
10. Drug Czar * - Gil Kerlikowske
11. Economic Czar * - Paul Volcker
12. Energy and Environment Czar - Carol Browner
13. Faith-Based Czar * - Joshua DuBois
14. Government Performance Czar - Jeffrey Zients
15. Great Lakes Czar - Cameron Davis
16. Green Jobs Czar - Van Jones
17. Guantanamo Closure Czar - Daniel Fried
18. Health Czar * - Nancy-Ann DeParle
19. Information Czar - Vivek Kundra
20. Intelligence Czar * - Dennis Blair
21. Mideast Peace Czar - George Mitchell
22. Pay Czar - Kenneth R. Feinberg
23. Regulatory Czar - Cass R. Sunstein *
24. Science Czar - John Holdren
25. Stimulus Accountability Czar - Earl Devaney
26. Sudan Czar - J. Scott Gration
27. TARP Czar - Herb Allison
28. Technology Czar - Aneesh Chopra
29. Terrorism Czar - John Brennan
30. Urban Affairs Czar - Adolfo Carrion Jr.
31. Weapons Czar - Ashton Carter
32. WMD Policy Czar - Gary Samore

In studying Totalitarian indoctrination in this country, I find that this same group promoting Communism is now promoting environmentalism. Liberals are liberals regardless of name. Those who espouse the philosophy of Roger Baldwin, founder of the ACLU and for 30 years it's chairman, had just as soon ride the horse of environmentalism toward the Communist-Marxist goal as any other, atheism, gay agenda, etc.

Every time I hear of a large fire such as the one now burning in California, known to be arson, and now covering more area than the city of Chicago, I think of the program they were discussing at this Communist meeting, the topic “draperies and bedspreads”. They had no problem discussing the abominable plan of burning down any city, just by using matches or cigarette lighters, breaking into certain strategic homes and setting on fire the bedspreads and draperies. Sharp shooters would be strategically located near every fire department to flatten the tires on fire trucks. With the wind just right, a city could be completely destroyed in a few hours time. Their plans have probably become more sophisticated over the past 40 years. But, this is what hard working, tax paying, God fearing men, women and children are up against, even in this country.

I have often wondered how young people get so discouraged and so disingenuious that their hearts and minds would be so blackened by hatred towards their fellow man. Perhaps Van Jones, one of the czars, now having resigned his post, is a good example. He was born in 1968, both parents school teachers, active in the AME church, graduated from University of Tennessee Martin, then graduated from Yale Law School. He was active in civil rights groups in Nashville, New Orleans and San Francisco. He was selected as one of the 100 most influential people by TIME Magazine; and Essence Magazine named him one of 25 of the most inspiring/influential African Americans. His problems came from getting involved in three areas of concern: a remark in February 2009 in which he called Congress Republicans "a**holes"; a 2004 signature on a "9-11 truth" petition, the views of which Van Jones then disowned; and a leftwing past including membership of a socialist group and support for Mumia Abu-Jamal. After what Jones described as a "vicious smear campaign", he resigned, saying that he could not "in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future".

Jones is not the only American who supports the almost unbelievable theory that 9/11 was an inside activity such as the burning of the Reichstag in Berlin, leading Hitler to power in WW II. The Reichstag has been a German parliamentary building from 1884 to present. Movies have been made about the downing of the World Trade Center Buildings. Sixty percent of those who investigated the attack, believe that there is more to the destruction than some Muslims in airplanes. It is certainly believed that the attack on the Pentagon was an unbelievable absurdity.

As the congressional leaders in Washington elected to serve the American people, spend their days and nights cocktailing and sexualizing, like Nero as Rome burned, the nation crumbles at the feat of political desperadoes. It is believed that Obama himself, was an employee of the CIA after law school (Business International Corporation, BIC, a front group for the CIA). It is believed that Bill Clinton was in England as a CIA operative instead of an Oxford student. It is believed that George H. W. Bush was for many years a CIA operative. The half is yet to be known about CIA and other intelligence activities in America. It is enough to scare patriotic Americans to death and easily explains why so many get caught up in the intrigue of “isms” that should have been “wasms” long ago. In the early 60's I was acquainted with Dr. Fred C. Schwartz, president of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade; and I was active in it's organization. It is also affiliated with Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Dr. Schwartz said, “Many young people think the vacancy in their heart not filled with Jesus Christ can be filled by the promises of Communism. How wrong they are.”
