Blitzkrieg

Life is just a bowl of cherries Don't take it serious, it's too mysterious You work, you save, you worry so But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go.

                                    Doris Day - Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries

Warsaw after the destruction of WWII

            God is not buying what the world is trying to sell you. Life is not just a "bowl of cherries." One of God's great gifts to you is the freedom to choose. There is such a waste of time in youth-- only realizing this when you get old. When searching the tombstones in old cemeteries, the bookshelves in old libraries, you realize that those chosen by God to have life, lived and accomplished and then went on to a far better, or far worse, place. Everything tells us that life is not over with clinical death.

            I have a beach home on Wrightsville Beach, in NC. It is known as one of the prettiest beaches in the world and is a favorite for movie making. Drug sales were going on across the street from me, during the time of the "War on Drugs." I do not have sight, but others who can see told me it was a Police Department operation. Young people, not old enough to drive, would come out of the house to their bicycles, with their drugs wrapped in toilet paper. I finally went to the city council member responsible for law enforcement and reported the situation. My next-door neighbor, staying up most of the night, due to a health problem, saw the police officers when they flattened my tires with ice picks. They did this to a blind veteran, who, at that time, owned much property and paid much tax on Wrightsville Beach which helped to pay their salaries.

            This writer has often said to God-fearing, tax-paying citizens, "Do legislators ever pass any law that helps you?" Most laws cost and cost dramatically those who keep the law, those who work hard, those who live responsibly. We tire of subsidizing and enabling the failings of our fellow man.

"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."

                                    -Galatians 6:2

            We have been fed a constant diet of collateral damage-- that the innocent must suffer in the punishment of a few. We hear this proclaimed over and over in modern warfare. An explosion from the air (drones or planes), explosions from munitions, which kill mothers and children, elderly and disabled. And all in the name of saving the world-- rescuing people from bad things.

            This world traveler has seen the mental scars of warfare-- scars on the minds and souls of real people. We know that the mind controls pain, and that the mind can cause pain to go away. In a mental asylum in Israel, in a mental hospital in Russia, I saw people who could not erase the pain.

           

            On the mainland of China (I have traveled through China three times since it was reopened), in Russia (I crossed Russia on the Tran Siberian Railroad), and in many other places I have seen human slavery, which to many, would seem worse than death.

            Following the traditional fighting of World War I, combatants in World War II were unprepared for the surprise, encirclement and confusion of a blitzkrieg-- heavy armor, aircraft bombing, irrational suffering inflicted on an enemy, such as was involved in Europe. It is obvious that America is not prepared for the untraditional blitzkrieg type attacks that will be involved in the next war. Our soft, spoiled populous cannot even imagine the horrors which can be inflicted by an enemy that has such a hatred for the "great Satan" (the way America is referred to by most of the world, 1.3 billion Muslims, as well as communist hordes in China, Cuba, N. Korea, etc.) Think what will happen in just a few days, when the electrical grids have been shut down-- no electricity, no running water, no welfare or social agencies of any type. We are a withering, muttering target, a target from all the hatred of the world, brought on by our incessant warfare. We have refused to protect our own borders. We do not know our own neighbors, much less the implanted enemies from foreign countries.

            In shock, totally demoralized, the United States of America will quickly surrender. I have found that my friends and relatives will not even recognize the challenges of their past. They will never admit that their ancestors were reared in poverty. Just because each member of their family has a cell phone, lives in an electrified house, too good to cook, rather eating out all the time, insist on fighting Satan in their church, from air-conditioned foxholes, by some strange theology, has a bellhop God (available only when called upon), and in spite of conservative rhetoric, wants all their needs met by government agencies, uses patriotism-Christianity-integrity only as an ideology, not a moral compass. They cannot believe that God was serious when he told us to take up the cross he has given us, and follow Him. It is much more fun to follow movie stars, sports figures, and pretending politicians.

            This writer has seen, in a dream, what Washington DC looks like after its bombardment, the great buildings on the ground, a great cement or marble column sticking up here or there. The IRS, with 90,000 employees, the NSA with 40,000 will have survival tunnels, with millions of MREs (meals ready to eat). Previous generations, our forefathers, established our survival around the constitution and the sovereign word of God. In my lifetime, I have seen all absolutes wither on the vine and die. Small denominations, storefront churches, gasping political groups (The Tea Party), have attempted to bring sanity to our country. But, those who have enslaved the masses for their own benefit (military industrial complex, Big Pharma, the cultural elite, secular media) have effectively destroyed every vestige pertaining to the salvation of good and the damnation of evil.

            In Botswana, Africa, this writer saw a great mother Eagle teaching her eaglets to fly from her nest. She would knock them out of the nest, and just before they neared the ground, would swoop down on her large wings, and catch them up-- over and over again, until the eaglets could fly. It is long past the time for the American people to learn survival. Our ancestors, with nothing, landed on this great land of opportunity, and survived. When I was a child, only 12% of the nation's population had electric power. If your church, your government, your neighbors, loved you as they say they do, as they are supposed to love, they would be not only warning you about the horror story which is to come, but preparing you for it.  

Quarantine

"Quarantine"

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.  Psalm 60:12

            The greatest trust-quarantine known to man is just turning something over to God and then just leaving it alone.  Most of us want to interfere with God's work, thinking He needs our help.  IF mortal man could only understand, the power, the grace, the mercy of God.  For God to be God, He does not need anything, just for US to trust enough to turn everything over to Him... our health, our wealth, our future, now and then. 

            Before the telescope, the microscope, any knowledge of scientology, cardiology, or any of the isms that should be was-isms (fascism-communism-atheism), God was in charge.  The ancients, even the old testament prophets of four thousand years ago, even the purveyors of false religions knew there were universal-ecliptic-unsighted powers greater than themselves.  It took a long time for surgeons to learn to wash their hands, uninitiated civilizations to learn to put netting over bodies to keep out insects, to bury their dead away from drinking water sources.  Scripture reminds us that it is the small foxes that spoils the vines (Song of Solomon 2:15), but now, even in the 21st century, in spite of electronic microscopes, so much university knowledge, we still use radiation to cure cancers caused by radiation, we use chemicals (chemotherapy) to cure cancer caused by chemicals.  Forgive me, I did not mean cure.  You do not use the word cure with any disease anymore, just treatable.  If you have not learned, you will learn, that it is up to you to quarantine yourself and your family from the dangers of the world, including care for your body.  Old doctors would not have believed that in a time of modern western medicine the infant who escaped abortion, depending upon the immune system of the mother, as a quarantine against disease, would be immediately punctured with needles to kill off natural immunity. 

            In the mockery of our system in superiors simply because of advanced technology-education (even children talking on phones in their hands), two thousand years after the cross of Christ, we still have more people in the world who are hungry than fed, still depend on torture in warfare.  It should be an insult to thinking people and an embarrassment to God, that even those who believe and trust in Him, give more credence to those in the cistern of disbelief (evolution, supremacy of man) than the proven waters of trust-integrity eternal satisfaction from God's deep well.  When will we learn to separate-quarantine ourselves from disbelief?  When will we learn the uselessness of wrestling (Ephesians 6:12) the world, the flesh, the devil, THAT, the whole armor of God is all we need (Ephesians 6:11), THAT greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.  (I John 4:4) 

            We think we are so smart, degrees, post graduate education, oh the limited mind of man!  In two hospitals, one army, one civilian, just as the dead are children of the dead, just as all dead look like crushed wax paper, this writer-army medical officer, roused the sleeping dead by telling them about their lack of quarantine against disease (carpeting in corridors on which very ill surgical patients were moved, drapery-overstuffed chairs in patients' rooms where microbes of any type could take harbor,  smell of perspiring visitors as the bacteria-toxins on and in their bodies escaped, etc.) .  Any patient, ill enough to be hospitalized, should not have visitors.  Take seriously the matter of immunology which, in the long run, depleted or otherwise, is your only "firewall" against a certain death, in many cases.   Like religion, like politics, like character, so much of our destination is just talk. 

            Many often mean well in their quarantine.  In the "foggy bottom"  of legislative committees of confusion-federal state local, much talk, many tax dollars spent, little accomplished.

            Most of us know there are only three grids of electricity in USA... Eastern, Pacific, Texas.  If terrorist eliminate one grid, the nation will panic.  Yet, never a word from power brokers or talking heads, preparing for this eventuality.  Like eating sensibly, every family should prepare-quarantine itself against the "walking warp" of the unintelligent.  Ambition usually makes men crazy about reality... making money, sports careers of other men, the endless attempt to impress someone (either further up the ladder or below you on the ladder).  Man has the need to excel.  Every politician sees in his mirror himself in higher office.  It is only with the welfare state, an addiction to entitlements-retirements, that men have stopped longing for a good bottom-line.  As dust covers the bible, God's own words to the world, as the great separation of man's wealth and accomplishments widens (a very small percent controls all of the world's wealth), as religious zealots (1.5 billion Muslims) are really willing to die in order to live in paradise (suicide bombers), the time for eternal life, life after death, evaluation not speculation, requires quarantine.  You are either lost or saved, a living epistle (2 Corinthians 3:2), or dead in your sins.  Why the hypocrisy?  We may fool others, but not self.  Immunize self against sin and rejection through the redemption provided with God.  God, creator of the universe, who has the very number of hairs on your head numbered, gave His best, His only son.  What makes us think we can escape the wrath of God, the denial of His son, by not separating, immunizing, quarantining ourselves against everything which God hates? 

Matthew 6:24

King James Version (KJV)

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
