NewsWEAK, Graffiti on the Forge 

"The Wonder of it All" - George Beverly Shea

     There's the wonder of sunset at evening.
     The wonder as sunrise I see;
     But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
     Is the wonder that God loves me.

Do liberals actually believe in the tirade of hysteria: the hypocrisy of peaceniks while all the time starting wars that we do not win, the incomprehensible insanity of open borders, surrendering the nation to only Satan knows who...coming across the border conquering while protesting, without firing a shot.  We have scrooges not reporters who are selective in their eyesight.  Matters so cheap can be traded so easily to the uninformed.  Madison Avenue found long ago that Americans will addict to any trend-brand, succumb to any type advertising.  God warned about mammon and money.  (Matthew 6:24)  God only had to say it one time, we should have learned.  "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.  If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."  (John 2:15)  This week, a canvas painting by Monet sold in New York for $108 million.  Recently, a wedding was held in the poorest country I have ever traveled, India, which cost $74 million.  A former president of USA, a pervert and his criminal wife, who supposedly left the White House broke, have sorted out enough foolish rich people in the world to amass a foundation in Arkansas worth, to them, $300 million.  We have just concluded successfully an election in this nation which cost, just the presidential, $734 million for the democrats and $562 million for the republicans.

It is beyond the imagination of most ordinary people the riches and spending of most political animals.  The winner of the presidential election, president elect, The Donald, thank God, is a billionaire, living in the top of his own 68 story Manhattan skyscraper.  All these politicians had their own private planes and staffs who catered to their lavish lifestyles.  They pranced and promised, on screen and off, to make life better for the poor "SOBs", who were out just trying to make a living amid the uncertainties-unexpecteds-risks of surviving in this "present world". 

Has it ever occurred to anyone, except this writer, WHERE DOES ALL THIS MONEY COME FROM?  FROM WHERE DID IT ORIGINATE?  The more than 6000 years from the beautiful, sparsely settled, Garden of Eden.

When our ancestors landed in America, (mine, 1677 off the good ship Kent on the shores of New Jersey, where they founded Morristown) the North American continent was just one big piece of wilderness.  Forty times in the scripture, we have these words, "But God".  But God, and he created it all, owns it all, in spite of kings-popes-presidents and their ilk, put everything in the Earth that man would need.  THIS IS THE BASIS OF ALL WEALTH.  "The good Earth" was filled with the elements and electricity to build everything.  At crooks in great rivers, cities were built.  In the twentieth century, black gold, oil was discovered by the Rockefellers, first in Pennsylvania then in Texas.  Then, in the Middle East, it was discovered near the top of the ground.  We became an oil using world, vehicles-plastics-medicines.  Thirty-seven years ago, NewsWEAK, pages always filled with lies, said, we will be out of oil in a few years...the overpaid, overeducated; intelligentsia told us that we would run out of oil, with great tears, "What will we do?"  Great tankers hauled it into America, the largest user, from the Middle East, where nations stay embroiled in conflict because of black gold.  Then, came great oil finds in Canada-the Dakotas.  Now, this week, perhaps the greatest reserve known to man found in the great state of Texas. 

We have great reserves of coal, natural gas, forestry...even enough trees to print worthless paper-fiat currency.  Books have been written about this subject but raw products from the Earth and the ever adventuresome minds of men have produced wealth, beyond compare, from the daily visions of Creator Jehovah God, who just had to speak, nothingness to somethingness.  AND, then in an afterthought, he made the stars also.  (Genesis 1:16)  AND, what he created he can destroy. 

Czars of industry, politicians, food servers, cab drivers, etc smile everyday at people they do not like...all in the name of making money or a big tip.  I want to propagate the idea that government is just a money eating machine, that most men on this Earth, call them peasants-serfs-slaves are just the controlled cogs in the machine that turn God-given resources into revenue.  The object of government, made up of money hungry politicians and bureaucrats, is to give you only what you absolutely need to survive: they take the rest for their own extravagant lifestyles.  Government wants you to have enough of what you make to eat and not starve to death, to provide your own attractive home with a manicured yard, maintaining everything for a house beautiful presentation.  So, in their prideful zeal for corporate oversight ownership, they can proclaim your property as theirs.  AND, it is theirs unless you pay every tax-fine-assessment, they or one of their henchmen impose.  At your expense, government leaders must look good.  Have you ever seen a huge gruff male dog having sex on top of a small whimpering puppy?  This is today's subservient citizen, a petite-captivated-animal ravaged by the endless resources "your tax dollars" of raping, revenue hungry, romping, rabid savages.  Government may use the taxes you pay, and you will pay your taxes or you go to jail, to build roads for you to get to work, to build hospitals for your treatment, to build schools for your children to become partially educated so they can become trolls for social manipulation.  Rejoice, our government allows us to keep a little money for recreation, civic giving, and the greatest act of worship in showing love to God who gives all.  You may have a little left to spend in a store, although most of us settle for secondhand buying.  The government is very jealous about keeping your "do-gooder" giving from their separated government grabbing...you must SEPARATE church from state.  Most citizens, even those "thinkers" at the courthouse, the schoolhouse, and even the church house have never considered that everything, even the hands that made brush strokes on a Monet canvas belong to God.  For the Christian, our lives and everything we own belongs to Him.  "For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills."  (Psalm 50:10)  It is going to surprise Brother Bill Gates, Brother Warren Buffett, even; Bill and Hillary, even our wonderful president elect, Donald K, when they reach down in their shrouds to find that there are no pockets. 

When my ancestry arrived here, all they found was fertile ground, in the twentieth century, I saw my own mother work all day in the hot sun to make one dollar.  But, in the dynamics of living, in God's line ups, the least will be most, less will be more, and the only thing that will matter, from this very short time here compared to eternity, what we have stored up where rust-bankers-governments-politicians cannot get it.  History has been written through the construction of human beings, molding greatness from littleness.  Just as health is not found at the drugstore, riches are not found at the bank, or in the vaults of government.
