The Value of Suspenders

#659

Mr. Larry King, liberal heartthrob of America's decadent Democrats, known for his suspenders is about as well known for his many wives. This week, according to press reports, he is divorcing his 7th wife due to a matter of irreconcilable differences.

It has been irreconcilable differences that has changed history in America, getting caught up in personalities or promiscuousness, products of profiteering, paganism and propriety. It was President Eisenhower's heart attack in 1955 which lead to the introduction of cholesterol … the fact that Americans were eating too much meat and carbohydrates, we came up with “wheatless Monday” and , “meatless Tuesday” in an effort to cut back on cholesterol. Without any scientific evidence Americans fall into the trap of believing anything state media will promote.

Recently, during the coldest winter on record, besmirched by Global Warming, Mr. Obama and his overheated Communist sympathizers decided to put an international tax on us using cap and trade or global warming as a vehicle, since we are not paying enough in local, state and federal taxes. Now, comes the VAT tax (Value Added Tax). How well I remember the country “hog killings”, when the fat, lazy hogs were scalded in a vat of hot water. Their hair cleaned from the body, then attached to a gallous, were hoisted and gutted. Perhaps, after the vat, not having paid enough, we too, will be hoisted and gutted.

There was a time, when Americans voluntarily paid their tax because of character, integrity, love for liberty.

The wedding ring on a man's hand signifies the never ending bond of marriage … no ending, total encirclement. So it is with love of country, no ending, total encirclement. You are always anxious to pledge allegiance to the flag ... not like today's occupant of the White House who does not even put his hand over his heart as the civilian gesture, running down his own country and other world capitols. There are many reasons to find fault with your government but, as with the old song, “Love It or Leave It”.

A good marriage, good health, good government, good life … all takes work. Many have lost the spirituality of work. Whether cutting the soil with a plow in the field, whether cutting the bread of life growing in a field with a scythe or cutting out cancerous tissue in the hospital surgery emporium, all work should be honest, worthy of integrity.

I am the first to tell you that government taxation has taken about everything that is not nailed down. Now, the government has come with a crowbar, taking what is nailed down (thousands of new employees at the IRS). Look in the mirror, you have no one to blame but the one in the reflection. Your vote, your stance against oppression is the determining factor involving your future and that of your family. A child born in the local hospital this morning owes the government $48,000 at birth.

Americans will learn to live as carefully before the pending disaster as they will after the disaster, the pending disaster of a terrorist strike or that of trying to repay the un-payable American debt.

My passport has been stamped in 157 countries of the world. I have traveled through every continent, most countries several times. Most of the world's population lives in dirt … particularly those below the 30th parallel.

America has forgotten it's blessings, Constitutionally illiterate and more importantly Biblically illiterate. Joseph, the Earthly father of Jesus and our blessed Lord himself could show us much about the value of work and the values of life. Can you not just hear Joseph telling Jesus, “measure twice and cut once”? We have forgotten our values, forsaken the good sense of our founders and the blessedness of almighty God.

Benevolence

#556

There have been 13 US Presidents during my lifetime. Only two stand out as unusual men, Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. By the time a man climbs the political ladder to gain the presidency, most have found that their ladder was leaning on the wrong building. They had climbed the ladder leaning on the building of compromise instead of the building of integrity. Don't ever confuse success with celebrity. Think of Madonna and Helen Keller. The Bushes, father and son, Clinton, Carter, Obama may be celebrated but they were not successful.

Eisenhower said, “A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.”

This week, Americans have filed their income tax forms. Only about 50% of Americans pay income tax...they pay the rest for the 50% of their fellow citizens who do not pay any income tax. But, for the 50% who do pay income tax, I want you to think about the following; 48% of your income tax goes towards warfare, 30% for present conflict and 18% for past conflicts, either care for veterans or interest on the debt imposed by passed wars. The thousands who lie buried in cemeteries, killed in what they thought was their battle for the preservation of the American Democratic Republic cannot speak for themselves. The thousands of veterans who draw a pittance of pension for service (even those who like your writer are 100% disabled) and who go through the traumatic problems involving their healthcare at VA facilities, know the problems of their service...an ungrateful nation...the never ending trauma of having experienced the horrors of war.

In the back of every veteran's mind, particularly as he looks at his own children and the children of others, is the dilemma of what happened to so many innocent children...victims of warfare. This very day, drones (unmanned miniature military planes) are dropping their bombs of destruction on the uninitiated, impoverished people of Pakistan, where most of the Afghanistan war has moved. As Americans sit on their Lazy Boys watching the romance of war, and Hollywood can make it so romantic on their television screens, there are those both here and in war zones who live with the holocaust of war disaster every day. Most of you have never depended on a white cane to get you around, know the afflictions of using a wheel chair in a bathroom or experienced the delirium of unsuccessful sleep. Most have never been to military funeral, seen a widow or mother handed an American flag off the casket of a loved one. The truest form of “benevolence” is to seek safety and security for all people around the world.

God always warns us ahead of time when a storm is approaching, natural or man made. On the farm, we could tell from the action of chickens or other bird life (animals with a brain about the size of a pea), the cows would always head for the barn, the dogs and cats would act a little strange, when a storm was approaching. Before the 4940 B.C. Flood Noah warned the world about God's wrath. The Lusitania was sunk May 7, 1915 by a German torpedo certainly showing the beginning of WWI. Mr. Hitler made no secret about the beginnings of WWII. It is known that America had warning about the Pearl Harbor attack. There was certainly sufficient knowledge about the 9-11 attack. When these things happen, and respond we must, why not limit the military action to military objectives...military ships, planes, training facilities and storage depots? Why subject civilian populations to military destruction? As we have seen with the Marshall plan after WWII, Japan and South Pacific countries after WWII, we can go in, at the expense of the American tax payer, rebuild structures in a “benevolent” manner but there is no way to restore human life or the disasters brought on the living.

Our Bill of Rights relates only to the individual. Our freedoms relate collectively. The most “benevolent” thought of a government, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are not benevolent enough to protect the most innocent of life, the unborn.

Samuel Adams, founding father, principle of Republicanism said, “Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.” With “benevolence” it is time to defend the only privacy we have left, choice in healthcare.

On the whole we badly have needed to cover the uninsured and this legislation, when implemented, will do that. The fact that not everyone will be covered is surely true but this is a major step in the right direction. I am very concerned about the proposed cuts in Medicare. I have to believe, and I do, that these will not occur to anything like the extent promised because of the predictable push-back of seniors and health providers and state governments.

So what that means is this will add hugely to the federal budget deficit, not a happy prospect to be sure. I continue to believe that our nation must press ahead with additional health system reform, which from my own experience, is badly needed, delivering quality care at a much lower cost. We can do that, but it will stretch us like nothing we have ever done before, just like this process has challenged our political system.
So… Health reform has passed… with much more to come! I believe we will be arguing about all of this for months, indeed for years to come.

Our “benevolence”, as Christians, in a one time Christian nation (the Supreme Court declared USA a Christian nation from 1799 to 1892) should extend to our own individual lives and our way of living. For those of us raised in poverty, living poor even during good times, living a life of chastity and obedience. Consolation is found in knowing, we can show love one to another...the Christ-like example. The heathen will rage, there will be an increase in crime and corruption but we will hold on to our faith. The Apostle Peter showed his lack of faith, as he warmed himself by the enemy's fire, as he denied our blessed Lord, but it was Peter, who waded from the water to greet our Lord by the Sea of Galilee and who answered three times how much he loved Christ just as he had denied him three times. On the the day of Pentecost, 7 days afterward, I would have been the first to say to Peter, “we don't need you to preach to us” but, Peter's sermon on that day, lead to the salvation of 3,000 believers...such a powerful sermon. Jesus Christ knew “benevolence”. At his resurrection, it was Peter specifically specified to be told, “go tell Peter”. (Mark 16:7)

We have the example, claim benevolence.

Agreement

Agreement

One of my friends at UNC Chapel Hill was a son of a Nuremberg judge (Judge Hubert Olive, Lexington, NC), one of the judges that participated in the trial of the Nazi war criminals. He said, “in your lifetime, you will learn just how corrupt American politicians and philanthropist cooperated with nazi war criminals. Perhaps the best example of this, in my study, is the great chemical conglomerate IG Farben. founded in 1925, from a group of companies left over from world war I.

During the planning of the invasion of Czechoslovakia and Poland, IG Farben cooperated closely with Nazi officials and directed which chemical plants should be secured and delivered to IG Farben. In 1941, an investigation exposed a "marriage" cartel between John D. Rockefeller's United States-based Standard Oil Co. and I.G. Farben. It also brought new evidence concerning complex price and marketing agreements between DuPont, a major investor in and producer of leaded gasoline, U.S. Industrial Alcohol Co. and their subsidiary, Cuba Distilling Co. The investigation was eventually dropped, like dozens of others in many different kinds of industries, due to the need to enlist industry support in the Korean war effort. However, the top directors of many oil companies agreed to resign and oil industry stocks in molasses companies were sold off as part of a compromise worked out.

IG Farben built a factory (named Buna Chemical Plant) for producing synthetic oil and rubber (from coal) in Auschwitz, which was the beginning of SS activity and camps in this location during the Holocaust. At its peak in 1944, this factory made use of 83,000 slave laborers. When they had worked these Jewish slaves almost to death in their factories, then they were exterminated in the gas chambers.

It is reported that the equations for the synthetics are in the hands of the Rockefeller controlled oil companies. A further aggravation concerning this “unholy” relationship between IG Farben, German chemical giant, standard oil and the Jewish race, and the Scandinavian countries which suffered much during the nazi regime, is the fact that so many Nobel prizes were won by the IG Farben chemist (1931 Bosch, 1939 Domagk. 1950 Alder), as well as the known fact that most Nobel prizes have been won by members of the Jewish race. IG Farben kept Hitler’s war machine going with synthetics for 5 years. The agreements or covenants with Americans companies are a disgrace to those companies and an insult to American families who lost their finest in WWII. In David Rockefeller’s memoirs the following statement was made:

“Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure---one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."


His father John D Rockefeller, Baptist, gave the money which largely built the riverside church in NYC. It should excite present day Baptist to know that the Rockefeller foundation gives much money for “planned parenthood”. From its beginning, the Rockefeller Foundation was at the vanguard of the birth control movement. Margaret Sanger opened the country's first birth control clinic. Sanger incorporated the American Birth Control League in 1921, which changed its name to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. in 1942. The organization's status as the country's leading provider of surgical abortions has put it in the forefront of national debate over the issue. with a total budget of approximately US$1 billion, it provides an array of services to over three million people. Most of this money is provided by the Rockefeller foundation. Another son, nelson Rockefeller, governor, senator, vice president, signed a abortion reform bill in 1970 NY which allowed thousands of women from all over the country to seek abortions in NY.

The truth is the truth even if no one believes it.

The quote from the biography from David Rockefeller should alert any thinking Americans that our problems with international bankers, the bailouts” with your tax dollars much of which is going abroad, was all predetermined long ago in this global fiasco, “the chickens have come home to roost”.

The Byzantine tax structure of this country, the 25 million Americans in dispute this very day with the IRS, the fact that Madoff had agreements with some of the countries wealthiest clients including philanthropies which are now broke an agreement, trust, promise, that he would earn a certain percentage on their investment. With regulators who are evidently more blind then this writer allowing him to take the fall for the government.

When will we realize that we are in a struggle against forces which can destroy us politically as well as economically. The Muslim world (64,800 people of the world become Muslim every 24 hrs) are waiting their advantageous time to make their move. Enough conflicts, in enough places, (Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Pakistan, Sudan, Congo, Iran, Etc) will keep this nation isolated from the real problems at home.

Eisenhower’s secretary of state John Foster Dulles spent years making agreements and commitments of this country to other countries around the world. As Louis Jefferson his biographer said, “ He involved the US in their affairs of every country of the world, with agreements”. As all these agreements and doctrines, politically and economically, are playing out to our total disservice. We can only give the quote of the doctor in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, “God have mercy on us all”.
