Barbarism

Two of my friends, both two of some of NC’s greatest citizens talked by phone with me because of their interest in my world travels and particularly in my world class first edition book collection.

Dr Dallas Herring, Rose Hill NC, was appointed chairman of the NC Board of Education by Governor Terry Sanford in 1960. He was a scholar, still read Greek and all the classics and among his many activities he still owned the family casket manufacturing business.  He told one time that many families, pressed for money, when a family member died would often just rent a casket from the funeral home because, the funeral home had long ago discovered that once the casket was put in the ground their chances for money recovery was almost zero. So, after the family and friends had left the cemetery, the body was just placed in the grave and the casket was taken back to the funeral home. I remember, very well, having attended a cousins funeral and then later wanting to talk with the funeral director about a speaking engagement which he had arranged for me before a civic club. I went back by the cemetery thinking he might still be there, I noticed that cousin  Agnes’ casket was back in the hearse. Knowing how cheap her family were I’m sure that this was the case even with  my relatives. I understand this is a common practice in the black mortuary business.

Dr John Messick, former President of East Carolina University, was not surprised at all when we discussed such matters as the casket rental. I did not hear these words at his funeral, at Wilmington’s First Presbyterian Church, but he had said, “this country is about one generation from total barbarism”.

It will not be a secret to the informed person that we are already there when you heard our present President state last week that he defines sin as to which anything his disagrees.  On a recent talk show when Speaker Pelosi recommended that contraception “must be used to prevent the great expense of this country on children”. Already President Obama has reversed the “Mexico City Abortion Policy”.

Homer reports in the story of the Trojan War as follows: “The end of the war is brought about through the guise of the infamous Trojan Horse. The Greeks built a large horse, and stowed the best warriors that they had left inside of it. They then pretended to leave Troy in their ships, but in reality only sailed to a nearby island. They left one man behind to tell the Trojans that the horse was a gift from the gods, who would be angered if they did not allow it inside of the gates. After a sign from the heavens that the Trojans took to mean that this was true, they allowed the horse to be brought inside the city walls. The Greeks who were inside of the horse escaped during the night and opened the gates for the rest of their comrades, who had returned from the island. The Greeks then sacked the city, and burned it to its foundation. The women were captured and taken as slaves, while all of the men were murdered. Most of the children were either killed or also taken as slaves. Helen was captured along with the rest of the Trojan women.”  The Trojan Horse has already been emptied in U.S.A. at the voting booths.  Do you really want more barbarism than the killing of the most innocent of life now numbering 63,000,000 since Roe v Wade in 1973.

The government is placing most abortion clinics near minority housing. There are 3000 innocent babies (1400 black) are aborted each day.  The heart begins beating in the small baby just 37 days after conception. Already in Holland, babies not perfectly healthy or disabled are killed after birth. To say nothing of the horrors of partial birth abortion. From 1939-1945 another barbarian named Adolph Hitler put 4.5 million undesirables, mostly disabled, such as those of us who are blind, to death in order to save money for his countries programs. This says nothing of the 6 million Jews that went to their deaths in the gas chamber. In the holocausts in Auschwitz, Dachas and Buchenwald, this numbered about 10,000 per day being murdered by Hitler, which almost equals the same holocaust numbers at the abortion chambers in our country.

“Dr Death”, Dr Jack Kevorkian, who went to prison for assisting with suicide (the Hippocratic oath was discontinued in most healthcare institutions years ago) put to death many people who were unhappy with their lives. This has become a regular occurrence in Holland and Switzerland. The state of Oregon, since 1997, has allowed people who are terminally ill and in intractable pain to obtain a lethal prescription from their physician and end their chronic suffering. This is called "Physician Assisted Suicide" or PAS. Euthanasia is being promoted by the liberal politicians as one way to cut back on health care expense because those over 85 are the fastest growing percentile of the population and because of nursing homes and expensive geriatric treatment, nearly half of the healthcare dollars are going for this group of American citizens.

I want to describe two of my best friends, doctors in the Army Medical Service. One, a black physician, raised in the Mississippi delta attended the Mahari Black Medical school in Nashville, TN and was the pride of his community as well as one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. He said to me recently, “most black leaders do not realize that AIDS and abortion will evenly erase the black population”. The black population in the country is about 13% of the population, yet 52% of all abortions are black babies. The excuse, that 37% of all live births are to single mothers or that over 50% of all females now have sexually transmitted diseases cannot be used when we think that God must exercise His wrath when he thinks of these blessings of children and the joy that they bring to so many lives.

My other friend, Dr Martin Huber, was a German Jew, was educated as a dentist in Pre-WWII Germany. Although most of his family went to the death camps, he was kept alive because Hitler’s medical squads used him to remove the gold from the teeth of those killed in the chambers. After the war, he came to this country, was educated at Howard University and was a U.S. Army dentist.

It was not just the Jews either who were killed in the Nazi furnaces, thousands of Polish Catholics were killed. A reported 265 Catholic priests were killed, the gold removed from their vestments and even though Hitler could not find enough trains with the right wheel gauge (train tracks in Russia have a different wheel gauge than those in the rest of Europe, I had been on a train when it had to be jacked up, the wheels changed, the work being done by Russian women so, like Dr. Zhivago, the train could proceed through Russia), but Hitler could find enough train cattle cars to haul the millions of Jews and undesirables to the death chambers and, it was not just Jews, I have been there and there are many Christian crosses along with the Star of David marking this infamous holocaust.

One American black man who was not allowed to serve in the military but who did other types of work for the military in Germany just prior to the war, said he would sit in his church which was located near the train station on Sunday mornings when this horrible episode in man’s inhumanity to man was going on and as the trains would leave the station, even in the church they could hear the screams of the Jewish people and others as the trains pulled away. They first, told the organist to play louder and they tried to sing louder so it would drown out the terrified screams of tortured people. But, eventually, with the culture of death there is also a culture of anti-Christian behavior and the churches pretended that the holocaust was not happening.  In the culture against Christianity in this country, the culture of death of the most innocent (even pictures of the small hands and feet of the babies demolished by the abortionist) most of us are still pretending that it just cannot happen in this country.

The first slaves of the almost 75 million to leave Africa went first to Portugal in 1444. It became such a profitable enterprise that the matter of slavery some became an international disgrace. William Wilberforce, a member of the English Parliament, a man so short in stature that often he had to stand on a table so other members of Parliament could hear him, almost single handily ended the despicable practice of slavery in Britain. Over 600,000 Americans died in a senseless war over this matter. In 1865, in New Orleans, a 7 year old black girl was sold for $800. I have many other details of how mothers and their children and their fathers were sold as slaves like cattle. Have things changed that much? Cats and dogs fair much better in many homes than do children. $18 billion is spent in this country just on pet food to say nothing of vet bills, their grooming and even their burials in fancy pet cemeteries.

As a 100% disabled totally blind service connected veteran, I often wondered why God had made it so completely possible for me to travel the world as I have. I have covered every continent and I believe expose to the best and the worst of life in 8 around the world trips. I am convinced, no one need try to unconvinced me, that a country as blessed as the United States will most certainly face the wrath of God for our pretension when it comes to our needs to the needy around the world and particularly the lives of the unborn.

Those of you who voted for these politicians who are just pretending that they care for you will repent for your actions. The great actor, Charlton Heston, who died recently, who make 59 films, many of which were biblical classics said, “I am a good actor because I am a good pretender”.
