EUGENE, OREGON … EXPOSED – Pt. 2

It may not have begun here, but Eugene and the surrounding Lane County area played a major part in America’s Drug revolution, the counter-culture of drugs all across America – for that matter, over the entire globe.

It wasn’t only Harvard professors, Grinspoon, Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (now known as Baba Ram Dass).

In effect, Eugene’s Drug culture sacrificed their own children on this sinister altar of permissiveness.

I’ll tell you what I know of how it came about … some who were involved.

During this time (20+ years ago), the city “Fathers” and the University of Oregon … how they all worked hand-in-hand, a few inadvertently maybe (if only to look-the-other-way), to promote illicit drug use to America’s children … and the entire world. Others were openly promoting illicit drug use … … still do!

My awareness of it began after being sent to Eugene . . . and subsequently talking with a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) undercover agent. Skipping the main part, about their work … how they tracked certain drugs all around the world via identifying the chemical fingerprint of LSD, especially … and specifically how – by following the Grateful DEAD concerts around the world.

The DEA found that certain drugs were appearing in all the same cities the Dead held concerts in. They concluded the illicit drug manufacturers, or at the very least the distributors, were either connected with the Grateful Dead or certainly followed them / case-in-point the well known Owsley LSD … as well as many other drugs.

Jerry Garcia lived just outside Eugene and was friends with many of the group that called themselves “The Merry Pranksters”.  It seems well known now, that author Ken Kesey and his followers traveled the nation on a Bus they called “Further” touting Drug use and even giving out drugs all over America. Some of the same folks were involved with the  Oregon Country faire which became a non-profit which allowed open drug use for decades.

I’ll jump ahead to the relevant part that concerns Eugene and the U of O. The DEA had discovered that our venue here, meaning the U of O’s Autzen Stadium (the Duck’s football stadium) was the only place in the nation at the time, which allowed on-site-camping so few druggies missed this gathering.

Major drug manufacturers and dealers would come to buy, sell, and trade drugs mistakenly feeling they were somewhat anonymous, in their tents. They assumed they just looked like normal concert goers.

All this was facilitated by the University allowing on-site camping and looking the other way regarding the drugs so prolific on campus – – specifically work of “The Merry Pranksters” here in Eugene.

Of course promoters of drugs are basically promoting darkness and evil; these folks are evil incarnate.  Delving into scripture, one finds that the same roots of the words which mean “drugs” in Hebrew (and Greek) also mean sorcery and witchcraft.  They try and attract youth and those who feel infallible into darkness, often one step at a time – those out on their own for the 1st time are targeted.  Why send them into a viper’s pit like the University of Oregon?

It’s said they anointed the O of O’s banister railings with DMSO + LSD, sending multitudes of students into immediate, unexpected trips. Ken Babs and Ken Kesey were names I heard all too often but there was any number of others.  At the Dead concerts it was well known that Kesey provided drugs when visiting his trailer – concert goers, professors, and all . . .  I was never invited in though I heard from multiple sources of the “mound” of “white drugs” on Kesey’s Table during the Dead concerts and the professors who visited and used.

DMSO, (FYI) carries whatever it is mixed with, into the bloodstream.

About then, every illicit drug made … became available to our children in Eugene.  As a locksmith, I saw and dealt with the consequences on Eugene’s families!

So did the cops, courts, jails, morgues, and prisons.  We now know full well the damage cocaine has done across the U.S. in spite of what Grinspoon says!

Correction – it was Len Bias, who dropped dead on the basketball court, the 1st time he tried cocaine.  The autopsy showed Bias had over 30 holes in his heart when he died.  He’d just graduated from Univ. Of Md., drafted to the Celtics.

A close friend’s son died in a University of Oregon frat house where so many drugs and alcohol were used, he wrote a school paper exposing it . . . I believe, that was the day before he died.  The Register Guard confirmed the use as well, in an expose’.  The  night Garrett died a number of frat house panicked and worked to hide it; the frat house guys cleaned up the mess … yes; even before calling the EMT’s.

The U of O administration tried to sweep it under the rug . . . as usual.  His family grieved! My son lost a close friend as well during those days as the drugs spread throughout the community.

In a short time, every drug across the nation was being sold to Eugene’s children, even literally on the vert steps of the county court house during Saturday Market!  Many of the city fathers looked the other way, along with the police; this scourge of drugs had corrupted the city.

I’ll not expound here about the old sheriff (known as “snortin’ Norton”), but there were plenty of officials who knew and deliberately looked away! Why?? Because (they excused themselves) the Oregon Duck’s football program needed the money.

Dan Williams (the head of the football program) justified it when he personally told me in a meeting in his office, that they planned for the Ducks to compete at the nation’s highest level … and that took the money … lots of money – which was coming in from the Dead concerts.

Twenty some years ago Dan told me that they would stop the concerts at Autzen IF I could find another source of cash to replace the money they made from the Dead concerts.

So I did … and they did.

I’d contacted Colorado’s coach McCartney (head of Promise Keepers), before that meeting explaining the problem. He agreed to help. Promise-Keepers came to Autzen Stadium and the Grateful Dead were turned away – – instead, they moved to Portland Meadows.

At the first concert there, a child and a young lady, Trisha Ann Storms died, as a result. She’d been sprayed (with the same mixture?) but overall, Eugene hasn’t changed much.

What a Legacy! We’ll see what happens, down the line but there’s no getting around the history – – they willingly sold out – they may not have participated in rolling up children in rugs and throwing them into the fire while worshipping Molech, as was done a few thousand years ago, but they were -just the same- offering Eugene’s children up on this evil altar of permissiveness!

More coming, stay tuned . . .  Part 3 & 4 within weeks

MY LAST DAYS

Have you found it yet? That reason you are alive? Or what gives your life meaning?

Many peculiarly never do. I’ve a few lines for you . . . Lines from a Jackson Browne song. It’s my # 1 favorite song … because, for me, it’s one of those universals; I suspect, it says something different to everyone.

What it says to me was so impactful, I named my youngest after him.

I’d been so much a failure at being a father it broke my heart to look back over my life of awful mistakes – – like when you’ve loved your own children so much it’s hard to go on, but somehow you do, minute by minute, day by day, wishing you could go back and do things over – not make so many critical mistakes- role modeling so many things so badly … grieving so heavily it’s near impossible to continue on.

I did, obviously. One of my children died; my oldest? — he’s, somehow, in spite of me, grown into a wonderfully good man! Nothing for me to be proud of there – he did it all himself! My youngest? I made fewer mistakes with him but it too was his doing; he too is someone a father bursts buttons over.

“For a Dancer” speaks of all the important things, to me. Following, are the lyrics.

Jackson was speaking of one thing; I was hearing what’s become prominent in my own life! His lyrics in this song were so meaningful to me, I named my youngest, his middle name . . . “Jackson”. Telling him why, is only a small part of this missive.

I have this imagination… let’s see if I can put it into words for you . .. .. . … what always flashes before me ……

At that moment of our passing-over, when it’s said that – our whole life passes in front of our eyes – we are somehow catapulted to that end moment when Christ appears, riding his steed, in the clouds, on the day of the end – that moment when it’s all over … when it’s too late … and we’re all headed to the judgment seat – when we all die, at once – the very same instant. That’s the same instant everyone alive, sees, as they die.

Silly? Possibly. Unscriptural? Probably … but that’s what I see … what I imagine. It’s what I imagine every rider on a train sees – as the train plunges into the abyss after the bridge has been found too late, to have failed.
“Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down
I don’t remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must’ve always thought you’d be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you’re nowhere to be found
I don’t know what happens when people die
Can’t seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It’s like a song playing right in my ear
That I can’t sing
I can’t help listening
I can’t help feeling stupid standing ’round
Crying as they ease you down
Cause I know that you’d rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
(Right on dancing)
No matter what fate chooses to play
(There’s nothing you can do about it anyway)
Just do the steps that you’ve been shown
By everyone you’ve ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours another’s steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you’ll do alone
Keep a fire for the human race
And let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily, it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Don’t let the uncertainty turn you around
(The world keeps turning around and around)
Go on and make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive but you’ll never know.”

~. ~ ~

My mother was grieving in her last days, 20-some years ago, and in her desire to pass on – (go home) she asked me “why does He not take me home now? Why do I linger so?” I answered her, wondering myself, as I heard myself speak – – just as if I knew, “to allow me to help care for you! I need that blessing.”

Now, with my suffering with ALS (Lou Geherig’s disease) I’m in my mom’s role. Now, my beloved evidently needs somehow to helplessly observe my mental suffering as I move ever so slowly towards my passing. Now, I grieve . . . For her and for my 2 boys and my close friends who also watch helplessly . . . and grieve.

Maybe this (knowing I know their love for me and mine, for them …) maybe it will help. I pray it does! It’s helping me already …

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALS: THE DUPLICITY OF DYING … SLOWLY

At almost 35 years old, I remember thinking “never thought I’d live this long!” Maybe that was ‘cause I’d once again, just lived through something I shouldn’t have — my May 10th, 1974 hang-gliding crash where I’d flatlined … … for a bit.

Thanks to Kaiser-Permanente’s malpractice, I’d be “under-the-knife” again … in 5 corrective operations over the next few years – more pain, etc. but at least I’d walk again – not at all what Kaiser-P … had planned! Their plan was to amputate both legs, so they told me.

Now, 43 years later, I’m terminal but most people with ALS like I have, live 2 to 5 years max, once diagnosed, and here I’ve beaten the odds once again; I was diagnosed 4 years ago and am expected to live (barring how and when the Rapture comes – soon, I believe — based on the Revelation 12 sign, in the heavens this month – we’ve  several more years at most!  Data shows this sign’s never occurred before.

That’s because my particular ALS’s variation’s life expectancy is 5 – 10 years, so … … 4 down … n’ 1 to 6 to go! Either way, it seems like a morbid future, right? That’s especially true, knowing that ALS patients spend their last days … … kinda trapped, mostly struggling, even to communicate. Then there’s the fact that we loose all abilities to move our muscles, even to turn over in bed; one must totally depend upon another for everything from urinating to eating.

That all-too-often realization of what is coming, reminds me of talking with my mother during her last days; at 88, she was asking me why I thought God had not “taken her home” already. I explained to her (as if I knew God’s reasoning) that it was to allow me to help take care of her – that it was an object lesson — that it was for me! Wanting to go home, she clearly saw her life as pretty worthless. When I answered her that it was for me, that evoked a follow-up question from her. “You take such good care of me, I don’t mean to offend you, but do you mind telling me … (she hesitated) who you are?”

The realization of that … that she didn’t know me … nor why I was there, caring for her … getting her up and into her chair and fed, etc. throughout that time … … it brought to me a new level of emotional pain. I find I think of that, often now … probably comparing her plight then, to mine, now … …

Analyzing things, the way I do, I grieve for my beloved … knowing she’ll grieve … … …  we’re seen as newlyweds.  We’d married a few months after being diagnosed; she made her decision Fully aware, saying “too late; I already love you” and studied ALS; typically,, i stuck my head in the sand.

It is, at times, way too much for me to carry, I love her so deeply. Though my demeanor rarely comes across as I’d like it to, when I’m grumpy, she’ll sometimes tell me I need to take a pain-killer (my arthritic pain) … we end up laughing a lot! I’d wanted to be remembered differently – making people laugh and smile – overall, meaning being a good witness. Being a good witness, meaning joyful … even jovial, it doesn’t seem to be in me … not like I feel it should! I know where I’m going, after all and that should show forth in my countenance, I find myself silently criticizing myself, as usual.

Guess what I’m trying to explain is that I grieve way too much to show how happy I am inside … it either doesn’t ‘fit’ or I just don’t seem “to get it!”  I grieve over the pain I see in others. I grieve for the pre-born babies aborted and for the emotional pain the mothers will feel when they realize what they’ve done, I grieve for parents who’ve had to lock their beloved children out of the house because they’ve become druggies and all that entails (I spent 32 years as a professional locksmith.). The grieving for others, just doesn’t seem to quit … yet, somehow … inside, I’m desperately happy – it’s just that I cannot seem to show it – at least not without crying (I all-too-often find myself explaining the tears as “full cups overrun easily!”)

All this began back when I fervently prayed: “Jesus; please make more like you!” I’ve heard it said (more than once) that “one should be careful, what one prays for …) guess it’s true! I sure wouldn’t have even thought to have chosen feeling other’s pain so deeply! It is part of what my beloved’s found to love in me, so there is at least one upside to it. There’s another, evidently; feeling other’s pain, leads me to pray, and that’s always a good thing …. So, I guess, I’m just whining here … …

God always knows what He’s doing! We have such a loving, merciful and gracious God and I’m so Blessed to know and love Him so!  — “Grateful, I am” in Yoda speak.

 

WAR LOOMS!

UPDATE BELOW:

If you love Liberty . . . . If you love Truth . . .

If you hate Evil actions . . . If you like to be able to make your decisions based on up-to-date, good sound information. . . . You need to subscribe to CRTV! Nowhere else will you get the entire picture of what’s going on. America’smainstream media is not covering what’s going on! Rather, in their silence, they cover it up!  Chalk them up as being solidly in the traitor’s camp!

Night before last, Mark Levin (as he often does) nailed it! It wasn’t hyperbole when he explained … ‘the antifa movement is the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party! Why do you think Democrats are so silent?

He showed videos backing what he said – (even antifa’s own video stating their case for disrupting – what they call “resisting”); he even interrupted their chants to explain what it was they were yelling, so we would know):
“NO TRUMP; NO WALL … NO USA AT ALL!”

Analyze that for a moment. This movement, effectively a paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party, is bringing violence to our streets – all across America! Funded, in large part, by George Soros’ NGO’s; its real goal (covered up) by the mainstream media is calling for the end of America.

UPDATE;

9/5/17 — today’s issue of the Jerusalem Post confirmed the following facts put forth by CRTV’s Mark Levin!  See: http://m.jpost.com/Israel-News/IDF-Hezbollah-is-an-imminent-challenge-at-the-top-of-our-priorities-496150

== + ==.        == +  = =

Last night Mr. Levin focused on more on Iran – Obama’s deal with them, its recent violations, its support of Syria and many of the existing middle eastern terrorist organizations – – for instance that Hezbullah now has 150,000 rockets ready and aimed at Israel and has constructed rocket building factories in Lebanon! (Last war they fought, they had only 15,000 rockets. Against tiny Israel? And now they’ve 10 times as many!)  and of course the rockets are being stored under hospitals, schools, and mosques so as to use human shields!

All this (and much more in his report) while the supposed U.N. peace keeping force in Lebanon continues to look the other way! His report went much farther … but you won’t hear about it, not in the subverted mainstream media (which originally was intended to be the 4th leg of freedom’s stool).

When will this war come? I can’t answer that but be assured, Israel will know when it’s planned and knowing what’s coming, they may strike first as in 1967. Oh, and, we’re their ally, unless Communist Antifa and/or other terrorists has us unable, we’ll be in this war, as well … …

 

THE SKY IS FALLING . . .

Chicken Little (progressives) are scurrying all about screaming “the sky is falling’ the sky is falling; impeach him! Impeach him!”

We don’t have to look far to pick up the never-dormant rumblings of the Commy News Network intensely reporting that the sky actually did seem to fall overnight … somewhere in outer Tucson and there, a criminal and dangerous Sheriff has been pardoned and is roaming free once again. He’s joined in, dispelling darkness by turning on the lights to watch them scramble about.

Meanwhile, (Osama, I think his name is – you know who I mean, right? You know … the former president and his followers – elected officials?) … … He conspires with anyone and everyone donating to his wealth.

The Capitalist? He plods forward also, destroying all Osama’s well-laid plans to topple America.

The question is: will the not-so-silent subversives find they must over-react-somehow and try to get the UN to send troops into our major population centers to assist their failing coup under the guise-of-lies supposedly . . . to keep the peace.

What a wonderful time to be alive; He’s returning soon; prepare the way.

PRIVACY TRUMPS SAFETY?

Advocates of marijuana legalization seem unconcerned with the safety of others on the road. They seem to feel they have a “right” to drive . . . impaired or not!

Knowing that metabolites of THC are stored in fat cells and when burning energy, they’re released into the bloodstream impacting them once again, over a period of days, weeks, even longer, their claim that users should retain their driver’s license and be able to propel vehicles down our highways, is totally non-sensical.

That all drivers should share the cost of hospitalization, repairs, etc. for their negligent use of drugs doesn’t make sense either, yet users resent and fight tooth–and-nail being held accountable for their lifestyle choices!

It only makes sense that marijuana user identity should be required to be shared with insurance companies! Why should non-users share the costs?

In fact, one insurance company (Progressive – playing both ends against the middle) even funds legalization.

 

LEFTIST NARRATIVE TACTICS

Sun Tzu says to know your enemy!  This is presented in that light\.

…  It’s understood that the (full-of-hate) left uses divisive rhetoric to set classes and groups against each other, setting up one group as the supposed oppressor and the other as the victim. The idea is to leverage the will of the “victim” group to wrest resources out of the “oppressor” group. Usually, the victim group will have larger numbers with fewer resources per capita- they need a reason to resent the oppressor group. In Communist Russia, this tactic was used to convince the masses to rise up against successful farmers. In so doing, the party destroyed the means of food production and the resulting famine killed millions.

We fell victim to it again during the Obama years, as he pushed the idea over and over that a huge divide exists between whites and blacks in this country. The result has been the worst state of race relations since the 1930s. But today, something has changed. Vast swaths of the public are tired of being called racist when they know they are not, tired of being called sexist, anti-Semitic, anti-gay, Islamaphobic, ableist, ageist, or whatever the cause du jour is at the moment.

Roughly half the country, many of whom voted for Obama twice just to prove that we’re beyond racist nonsense, who once took the accusations of hidden biases seriously are not listening to the shaming anymore. We’ve spent much of our lives seriously examining ourselves for hatred, bigotry, and bias. In the end, we came back with the realization that we wouldn’t even care if we were hateful people. So the name calling of the left isn’t working on us anymore.

But the left has a serious problem with that, because if you know that you do not harbor hatred in your heart- then they have nothing to preach to you. When they cannot convince you that evil is hiding somewhere in your mind, then their jobs disappear, their votes vanish, and their publicly funded grants dry up.

This should be the point in the conversation when liberal academics, culture critics, and left-wing politicians politely bow and say there is nothing more they can do here. The trouble is they have no marketable skills other than fomenting outrage. Worse, the hatred they are so convinced is hidden in the hearts of conservatives is really a reflection of their own hatred for family values, for people with a work ethic, and persons of faith.

In short, they have become desperate, and they are responding by doubling down on the name calling. By doubling down on the name calling, they have convinced themselves that anyone who thinks different to them is a Nazi.

And Nazis are legitimate targets for violence.  (Actually they are the fascist Nazis.)

For some time now, we have been told that we are in a culture war, that there are two Americas which fundamentally disagree on the state of the country and the human condition. And they are correct. There are a left and a right and they are engaged in perpetual conflict. This is the natural state of any culture as it is natural that people of conservative and liberal sensibilities are roughly evenly distributed and because the two types of people inevitably see the world in different lights. The natural result is an unending state of conflict. But the founding fathers understood this. They understood that societies naturally tend to gravitate toward violence, and that power naturally gravitates toward corruption. Their remedy was Freedom of Speech. That’s why the right to speak freely is the first Amendment.

What this means is that things are actually going well. We have our debates, we disagree, we argue, and by grace- we arrive at a solution. As long as we have free speech, there is hope.

But we are being told that all is not well. It would be right and well for each side to continue saying that the other is wrong and for the debates to continue. But the left is trying to dismantle free speech, and by telling us that we are in a cold civil war, they push the notion that violence against people with whom we disagree is acceptable.

The fact is that our republic, flawed and tyrannical as it is, is working in the way it should. We fight like cats and dogs, (verbally), in the debate halls, classrooms, in the streets, on television, the Internet, and at the polls. But if the left manages to convince us that we are in an actual civil war, then the talking will stop and the bloodshed will start. And this, they imagine, will be the beginning of the next grand revolution.

BIG or LEFTIST GOVERNMENTS?

There’a a common comment made about too many government employees.

It’s that “too often, people are promoted up to their level of incompetence.”

Worse, assuming it’s true; it’s also unfortunate, for it’s that level they tend to stay in!  Explains a lot; doesn’t it?   Such a level of incompetency  is not normally tolerated in the private sector, since they would lose their customers.

As a retired, former business owner, what I encountered, dealing with government was that red tape and rules-and-regulations seemed much more fouled up or repressive under Democratic Administrations.  

Is that true and if so, why?  

The percentage of each of the following past president’s cabinets worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet below; watch for patterns.

38% T. Roosevelt
40% Taft
52% Wilson
49% Harding
48% Coolidge
42% Hoover
50% F. D. Roosevelt
50% Truman
57% Eisenhower
30% Kennedy
47% Johnson
53% Nixon
42% Ford
32% Carter
56% Reagan
51% GH Bush
39% Clinton
55% GW Bush
8% Obama
90% Trump

This helps explain the bias, if not the incompetence, of the last administration: ONLY 8% of them have ever worked in private business!  And these people have the chutzpah to tell our corporations how to run their businesses?

It’s probably a good idea to pass this on, because we’ll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media, nor on the alphabet networks.

 

THE “CHURCH” HAD IT BACKWARDS1

THEOLOGY 101

For centuries, the church has had it backwards (and that was intentionally done)!

Jesus taught first in the Synagogues. Jesus was born and raised as a Jew; so were His original followers – ALL OF ‘EM.

That, of course, included the Disciples. They were all Jews.

So were the thousands that became followers of Christ on Pentecost after hearing the Disciples speak in their own languages, done via the power of the Holy Spirit . . . they were not being converted; they were also Jews, albeit many were visitors; they just knew they’d found their Messiah!

It was not until Paul, a devout Pharisee, was struck blind on the road to Damascus and became also became a follower of Christ, that he sent the Disciples to non-Jews (often called Greeks or Gentiles) and were brought into the faith – the same faith of the Jews.  Only then did they begin to go by the name of Christians …

But from the beginning,God had a plan – – to make gentiles, fellow heirs, together with the Jews.

But, Constantine had other, evil plans. Though the church remained Jewish for the first few centuries, everything Jewish, was outlawed at the council of Nicea in 325AD.

Constantine began, by dividing the followers – – pitting them against one another. From that day, probably much earlier, we were set against each other. . . the (Jews) were called “CHRIST KILLERS” by members of the Roman Catholic Church. From that time on, Constantine. ‘outlawed’ all things Jewish.

The problem remaeins today, so many of our pastors, in seminaries, were taught “Replacement Theology”, who, in turn, taught us.

We … … … we’re “grafted in”!

N. KOREA: BLOWBACK OF INCOMPETENCE!

Back as far as 1991, 26 years ago, No. Korea signed an agreement which they (obviously) never intended to keep, began ignoring and today, continue to violate it.

Mark Levin exposes (almost month by month) the intentions and dangers to us today. N. Korea has 60 nuclear warheads, not 10, as the left-wing mainstream media tells us. Their ability to severely damage us is in a major “spin’.  As our talking heads and inept media call for more of our failed ‘diplomacy’, though it’s the reason we’re here, Barack included . . . the media piles on President Trump … … …

Levin shows the “deals” the US, the UN’s IAEA, and South Korea have complied with in order to avert a disaster, which is surely in the works . . . We’ve bribed them over and over with billion$, while Russia and China have provided the financing, the know-how and fissionable matter! All the while, we (our leaders) are funding and supplying weapons to Afghanistan to run a proxy war against the former USSR, breaking them, supposedly – as we were told – effectively destroying Communist Russia. Not!!!

Now, they’re about to hit us . . . At least that’s what they tell us! It will come! It’s close! Maybe, not next week, but believe . . . It will come and the puppet masters pulling the strings are … … …

Does it really matter whether it’s the nation’s of Russia or the Hate-filled Islamic non-nations, or China? It’ll be a PROXY WAR … possibly sending nukes into near-orbit to destroy our self-defense capabilities with an EMP! It’s an untenable situation.

All this, puts me in mind of a simplistic song, from my pre-teen years by Harry Belafonte … something the media seems to be singing:
There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,
There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.
So fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
So fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it.
With what should I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza,
With what should I fix it, dear Liza, with what?
With straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, with straw.
But the straw is too long, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The straw is too long, dear Liza, too long.
So cut it dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
So cut it dear Henry, dear Henry, cut it!
With what should I cut it, dear Liza, dear Liza,
With what should I cut it, dear Liza, with what?
With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With an axe, dear Henry, an axe.
But the axe is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The axe is too dull, dear Liza, too dull.
So, sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
So sharpen it dear Henry, dear Henry, sharpen it!
With what should I sharpen it, dear Liza, dear Liza,
With what should I sharpen, dear Liza, with what?
Use the stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Use the stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, the stone.
But the stone is too dry, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The stone is too dry, dear Liza, too dry.
So wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
So wet it dear Henry, dear Henry, wet it.
With what should I wet it, dear Liza, dear Liza,
With what should I wet it, dear Liza, with what?
With water, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With water, dear Henry, dear Henry, water.
With what should I carry it, dear Liza, dear Liza,
With what should I carry it dear Liza, with what?
Use the bucket dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Use the bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, the bucket!
There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,
There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.

TREASON . . . EXPOSED!

There’s one political reporting source we (Patriotic Americans) can trust. He’s proved it for decades.

Finally, this alleged Trump / Putin scandal has been blown wide open. Laws have been broken; people are taking the 5th; and yes corruption, is being exposed . . . Spies and supposed journalists (working for the Kremlin)!

Plus, as all this is going on, high-ranking Democrats are not just running for cover, they’re using parliamentary tricks to delay, distract, and deflect from being exposed as subversive!

Oh, Fox News will pile on, but they’re not the ones investigating and exposing all this … … The one pulling all this together, pulling it, piece by corrupt piece, into the light-of-day?

Once again, it’s Mark Levin via CRTV!  He said, last night, that he’ll put this entire show on FREE.  Don’t miss it!

ANOTHER WAR . . . We’re Funding!

Do you know that our taxpayer money pays for Palestinians to kill Israelis?  Well, almost . . . Actually, the fact is, we fund the Palestine Authority (after the fact) which pays each member a larger retirement if they kill an Israeli (soldier or not).

Sicken you, the way it does me?

If a Palestinian kills an Israeli, he receives a “stipend” of $ 3,120 / month (a lot of money in that part of the world) if he lives; if he is killed in the act, his family gets the Monthly $tipend!

This is sarcastically called the “Pay-to-slay” program. What does Israel do in retaliation?

Afterwards, they destroy the home of the terrorists. Palestinians know this, so it’s a calculated act! “How much”, you ask? An average salary for an engineer in Israel, is $1300 / month. So, the Palestinians are, in effect, killing to make their families wealthy!!!

There’s a bill in Congress to end this . . . (Meaning our funding of the terrorist group – Palestinian Authority.

This below, is from Google’s search for Taylor Force:

The bill was named in honor of Taylor Force, a native of Lubbock, Texas who graduated from West Point in 2009 and served tours of duty in both Afghanistan and Iraq.[3] After completing his service, Taylor entered the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University to study for an MBA. At the time of the murder, he was visiting Israel as part of a study group examining global entrepreneurship.[4].[1][5]
He was killed on 8 March 2016 in a terrorist attack by a Palestinian from the West Bank city of Qalqilya; a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv that injured eleven people.[6][7] Because he died while committing an act of terrorism, the relatives of Taylor Force’s murderer are paid a monthly pension equal to several times the average monthly Palestinian wage. The pension, paid by the Palestinian Authority Martyr’s Fund, is part of a Palestinian Authority policy to pay a monthly cash stipends to the families of Palestinians killed, injured or imprisoned for involvement in attacking, assisting in attacking, or planning to attack Israel, or for other types of politically-inspired violence, including riots, violent demonstrations, and throwing rocks.[2]

HR1164 was introduced by Doug Lamborn, a Republican (of course) from Colorado’s 51st congressional district. It won’t, but it should be passed!

Please write your Representative and Senators to vote to pass this!

Me? It’ll do me no good to lobby them; I live in Washington state and they’re all 3 scumbag leftists!  They don’t give a damn.  They vote to murder defenseless babies in the womb . . .

Uncompassionate, cowardly murderers!  Yet liberal, inner-city Washingtonians – with their heads in the sand – continue to elect them . . .  Sad and tragic!

MY LATEST RANT

Partially, it is the wall (we’re all still waiting for) … …

THESE ARE THE DAYS . . .

In that half hour, between services, when Robin Mark wrote the song  “THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH”, I understand that we were beginning to be in the days of darkness but the sword was not nearly as obvious/ as prevalent as now. Now, I believe we can see a much greater significance to the words of this song! At least, that’s what I believe I’m hearing from the Lord.

Two Saturdays ago, my wife and I attended a Messianic church service – it was our first time. One who spoke in their service, was J. (Jeff) D. Bernstein; he proposed that: ‘as scripture prophesies that (we) Christians are to make Israel jealous, it is to be the–newly–grafted–in that are to be at the head of this movement; that Yeshua having been of David’s lineage, His being the Messiah (which they missed) … (most of the leaders of Judiasm, in His day) it would all begin to become apparent to them now.’

I wanted to reintroduce this idea before you listen again … imagine Christians singing this loudly, in the churches in Jerusalem … (or maybe Marines?).  Listen again as they sing with enthusiasm… and imagine.   We are entering the Year of Jubilee after all!

COWARDS and OTHER LEFTISTS

Muslim cleric, Norman Ali Kahn, pictured above, says that God gave men “license” to beat unfaithful wives and that women are committing a crime if they object to the religious text that he says permits this abuse.  (Image source Rossi101Wikimedia commons)

America’s liberal left supports this type of violence against women!  The only question is: “what defines an unfaithful wife and does it ever justify violence against a woman?

Christ says “no!”  But then, Christ is the 1 true God.  God was compassionate enough to allow Yeshua (Jesus, His son) to be the sacrifice for all our sins.  He loves us that much!

Mohammed instead, teaches war and hate.

Other questions.

Why do women follow Muhammad?  They should not!  They should convert to Christianity – following Christ, but they should leave their violent husbands first.

Why do secular leftists think this violence against women is OK?  Have they no conscience?

 

TERRORISM – – A Solution?

Al Gore recently said that most terrorist acts have been by “homegrown” people.

Who is susceptible to being converted to becoming a violent jihadi and what’s the process by which they become radicalized?

Of course it’s someone who is almost always already a Muslim and if so, then all it takes — is for an acquaintance / friend who’s already a radical jihadi to challenge their lack of knowledge of what the Qur’an instructs, proving to them that they’re not following their (supposedly holy) book.

There’s also the disenfranchised, who (maybe because of a poor education or poor choices made earlier in life) find they cannot support themselves and their loved ones. Once they’re angry enough … or have resorted to criminal means … they’re vulnerable as well.

Also, extreme recruiting efforts are already underway inside our prisons.

Let’s admit our system is badly broken. The question is: can it be fixed before it’s too late? If we spend all our time pointing fingers …. …

If it can be fixed it’ll take a comprehensive plan, not too feasible with our current politicians. Most of them are focused on their own reelection and becoming wealthy; obviously I’m not very hopeful regarding this approach!

The only approach is, one which changes Muslims entire lifestyle – conversion! Conversion from Islam!

Problem is, their Qur’an instructs them to lie and deceive, when it suits their goal, so how do we know?

We can’t, but the first step is to halt the emigration of those who are vulnerable. Can you see why some support the banning of followers of Islam?

What America needs at this time is . . . . . . Time?

Time and an active, fervent effort to bring Muslims to know the real God!

Islam’s focus on death is . . . What can I say?  Unhealthy, at best.

POT HELPS GLAUCOMA?

Definitely not!  Claims that pot controls symptoms are So wrong!

People with so little knowledge and selfish motivations are causing others to go blind.  Ask any Ophthalmologist.

Though pot impacts internal eye pressure, those who use pot because of this fact are misguided!!  They ignore the damage done by intermittent spikes in internal eye pressure!

I personally knew a woman who mistakenly bragged about how long using pot kept her seeing, yet she did become blind when consistent medication could have prevented her blindness.

A quote from an ophthalmologist website:
‘’Over time, this increased ocular pressure will damage the optic nerve, and, more specifically, the part of the nerve that is responsible for peripheral vision. While Glaucoma itself cannot be prevented, with early intervention the loss of peripheral vision from Glaucoma can be avoided.”

(It’s not just the loss of peripheral vision; rather, it’s the total loss of vision!)

Beware of misinformation from selfish people with an agenda to legalize their drug of choice.  They don’t give a wit about your health!

MONSTERS AMONG US

This may be mistakenly called a culture war, but it’s so much more than that!  These Planned Parenthood folks are not good people nor are they normal; they are, in fact, monsters!

Notwithstanding the all-too-common use of hyperbole, I think these people actually do qualify to be compared to Dr. Josef Mengele – the horrific “Angel of Death” German physician in Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II doing inhumane medical experiments on Jews!

Watch these numerous videos posted here – you’ll find there’re a number of specific examples of what I’m referring to.  You’ll find they actually are the liars and disgusting, greedy NAZI types longing for their Lamborghinis and willing to do anything necessary to get them.

These doctors, executives, staff, etc.. are not stressed-out cops who must joke at the grotesque scenarios they must view, in order to find a way to cope with the violence.

These are the monsters actually perpetrating these acts!  And they’re doing so – in order to sell baby parts!  In a different context, they could be called – “serial killers”.  Oh, wait.  They are!

FREEDOM!

HEROES ALL!  WELL DONE!

We’re called to be good stewards – over all our domain. Risking their own safety, both these videos exemplify that — I found myself tensing up just watching . . . Video #1

ISLAM: COMPATIBLE WITH FREEDOM?

(Questions for Islamic women living in America)

Where this becomes most apparent to me is that there seems to be a lack of intimacy.

Is a Muslim man actually capable of true intimacy?  His wife, in effect, has become his bond servant.

She is not the other half of their “one flesh” . . . as God intended!

Is she able to discern the difference between the man’s desire and lust from his inability to see and treat her as an equal?  If it’s just not in him, true love is only an illusion for her.

Married Muslim men may have prostitutes; married Muslim women may not even appear in public without male family!

Is Islam even compatible with a nation founded for Freedom . . . a gift from the one and only true God!

THIS IS SOCIALISM

Germany Confiscating Homes to Use for Migrants
“A massive attack on the property rights”
by Soeren Kern

In an unprecedented move, Hamburg authorities confiscated six residential units in the Hamm district near the city center. A trustee appointed by the city is now renovating the properties and will rent them — against the will of the owner — to tenants chosen by the city.

District spokeswoman Sorina Weiland said that all renovation costs will be billed to the owner of the properties.

No; there are no “property rights”  under Socialism!

“BRASS RAILINGS” on the NINEVEH

Some people feel … to use a metaphor, “Why polish brass railings on a sinking ship?”

What is it you do? Other than working to support loved ones … I mean? Are you involved in your community trying to make it better? I decided to get involved in the particular battle which the Holy Spirit laid on my heart.

To explain my activism, pre-born babies being ripped apart within their mother’s womb are are not brass railings on a sinking ship!

God has not called us to simply shrink away from the horrors going on in our world today, nor to only vote and leave it to our corrupt, myopically motivated politicians, nor does only voting to assuage the guilt of our inaction.

Neither can we abandon the battle, though we may have no specific individual power to put an end to any of the moral battles on our doorstep, it’s near impossible to ignore them nowadays.

So, consider if … …
• You were locked away for a crime you did not commit … on death row?
• You were in your mother’s womb as forceps entered to crush and rip your body apart?

Would you not want someone to speak up … to say STOP!

‘Round the entire globe, no matter where you are, you can see people are reeling from the state of our world’s conflicts … many are numb, saying “it’s all over” or “What can I do?”

We are being challenged …
* To confront our condition,
* To abandon it and see what happens, or
* To transform it!

Some believe we are already past the point of no return or believe this is the end. If that were so, would IIChronicles 7:14 have been written into scripture?

After all He called us not to just … be entertained, nor to watch arrogantly and marvel at man’s foolish endeavors knowing that we’re okay. Instead, He called us to the great commission!

It’s time to reconsider the story of Jonah. I believe we’re all in danger of becoming Jonah!

Don’t get angry at the worm nor me; we’re just trying to get the attention where it needs be.

LIVING WITH ALS – My Thorn . . .

The ALS hours

In the Early morning hour I sit alone quietLy. Hoping, praying I hear your voice. I sit alone . . . And pray and . . . Wait..
Now and then, a tear runs down my cheek
Being ‘still’, I listen Lord, there’s nothing here to hear, my beloved’s asleep . . near me . . . in our bed
I could wake her but she needs her sleep instead
So I sit here in my chair without speaking, continuing to listen
… praying I’ll hear your quiet voice . . . if only in my head
Morning by morning, I wait for You.
Knowing what’s coming – that in days to come, I’ll be trapped inside my helpless body, unable to speak,
It was not too long ago, I cried and heard You speak . .. .. You promised me, that when I’m at that desperate place . . . “we’ll talk.”
I’m wondering Lord . . . why can we not start now?
I love you so!

MAY DAY –What It Is To Be

Wikipedia will tell you that May Day was chosen as the date for International Workers’ Day by the Socialists and Communists. It was a Pagan holiday as well.

The mixing of the two has come to mean a day of Godlessness and revolution or rebellion yet recently, it’s become more of a symbol of Communism and Anarchy imbued with violent rebellion.

In these days of the rise of the violent leftist anti-Trump sentiment, I expect it to evolve into more of an anti-police, Chicago-style Haymarket Affair.    Our larger cities, especially those with large, leftist college student populations, police forces had better prepare!  The leftists have no hope without insurrection!

SOME MESSAGES ARE CLEAR

  Seeing this, there can be no doubt about the anger within this TREASONOUS THUG. Why? Because of what he’s up to at the moment maybe?

Was this at the time he and Hillary had worked out how we were going to secretly  funnel weapons to the new caliphate – ISIS?  Maybe because he knew the politics of the man behind the camera lens . . . or maybe was so used to the mainstream media covering his a$$ . . .

My point here is – it really doesn’t matter, does it?  I mean, who sits and poses like this?  Possibly a former community disrupter now become wealthy, or would he be described as a man so full of hate and anger, he is exposed as such?

TRANNIE’S – THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH

In Brisbane, Australia, psychiatrist Stephen (deleted), who runs a gender clinic and is responsible for diagnosing gender dysphoria, reports that “many” youth are “trying out being transgender” in order to stand out.  In other words, it’s “trendy”

There are other reasons he says – many girls want to be transgender as a result of sexual abuse.

Some are so convinced their life would be better if they were the opposite sex that they do something drastic or permanent. “I’ve seen genital mutilation, some who try to cut off their penis,’’ he said.

Many are coming to his clinic seeking the puberty-blocking-chemicals or sex-change-hormones.

His gender-service (in Australia) is government funded, however most patients,, are simply going through a common phase of adolescent life, he explained.

Of course, the online response was overwhelmingly against viewing transgenderism as healthy.

One such response stated: People should get it once and for all that transgender is a mental illness,. “You can put a rubber glove on a dog’s head and attach a feather-duster to its tail, but that don’t make it a chicken.”.

Another response: “it’s pretty normal for many kids to hate their bodies. And eventually we get over it.”

(I re-wrote this, from an article on “LifeSite News.  My motivation for publishing this is in hopes that you’ll come to know that transvestites may be ‘acting out’ in this way and that it may help them to be challenged about that before they do themselves long-term harm. Another reason is that . . . .

Women, power, wealth and boytoys

The more women you’ve had sex with . . .
The more beautiful they were . . .
The more possessions you have . . .
The more boy-toys you have . . .
The more fun you’ve compressed into your time here . . .
The more powerful you are . . .
The wealthier you are . . . Or intelligent you are . . . Or envied you are . . .

. . . . . . The more you’ve proved ……
You missed the whole friggin’ point of life!

FRAUD – – IN THE SWAMP!

Robert Moffit, in an article in the Daily Signal, stated that it seems that federal officials (AKA Crooks) have worked overtime to undermine public trust.

I agree … at least I agree that they’ve surely undermined our trust!!!  Not the overtime.

Benghazi is a perfect example, the IRS scandal with Lois Lerner or the DEA’s “ fast and Furious” are other examples he gives.

Need more?

How about how Congress handled their circumventing being forced to sign up for Obamacare? Evidently their annual salary of $174,000 – up, just wasn’t quite enough!

They, and the actual authors of The Affordable Care Act, in essence, conspired together and declared themselves a small business. Remember the often-shown video of our former seemingly senile Speaker of the House saying ‘ … we’ve got to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.’   Remember the other intentional lies – “if you like your plan …”, “if you like your doctor, …”

There’s more … their ‘goof’, then their ‘end-run’ … but in the end, they protected themselves and set most of the rest of us adrift in leaking unseaworthy lifeboats!

No! We can’t omit Obama from the blame ….  ….  At the very least, it was on his watch!  We’re rid of him (sort of) but even though we may lose a few good ones, it’s time to dump-‘em all … either that or pick up our muskets

LIVING WITH ALS

It’s stressful to see what’s ahead for me. ALS can be … … … rather, it usually is … a nightmare.

My anxiety really began to grow when I understood more of what’s ahead for me. Mostly, I buried my head in the sand. I’m blessed that my wife has made me face it but only the next single step through this journey, so I kept stumbling forward, one step at a time.

Then . . .it got worse … it began to overwhelm me. What bothered me most was knowing that I would not be able to communicate with those I love, some day. My new son-in-iaw made us aware of a ‘coping program’ called “voice-banking” which he thought would help; it’s available for my iPad and it seemed to offer hope.

Seemed!

I downloaded an app called “voice record”, agreeing it would help. The plan was to record important phrases to help me communicate … in a way. In retrospect though, the more I tried to record phrases I wanted to be able to tell my wife and even requests for help which I knew would help her … the more my anxiety level grew, but it increased … exponentially! My “I love you, so much” sounded extremely trivial compared to how deeply I felt and still feel! That, killed my enthusiasm.

When I go through problematic circumstances I tend to internalize them, pretty much. It’s the way I was made. I get quiet and try to work through things myself before I talk to anyone about it. Being a newlywed, that’s not always the best solution. It took me a while to even verbalize what I was struggling with.

Normally, my belief in God pulls me through; it has … so far. This, however … bad as prior episodes of my life had been … … …. I’ve never felt so helpless … so alone. I descended even deeper into despair. It was isolation I feared.

I went through most all the stages of grief —
“The five stages of grief, postulates a series of emotions experienced by terminally ill patients prior to death, wherein the five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, acceptance.”

My own death was easy to accept; eventually, we all die. I skipped bargaining. Denial didn’t last long. Anger did. Or rather, it kept reappearing; I blamed God, when it reappeared …

I’m at a point now, where I cry so easily, so quickly … any emotion sets it off … I really don’t fully understand why. Yet, I do, in a way. I’m so blessed that I explain to those who see it … that “I recognize how blessed I am! When one’s cup is so filled (with blessings), one’s cup over runs easily!” Admitting that, increases the tear-flow and I often find myself praying they understand – that I’m sincere as well as honest about it.

Some, however, probably think I’m weak. That’s true. I am. It’s God who is strong – it’s He, who is pulling me through – giving me strength! Scripture tells us that. God, our provider, Jehova Jireh provides. He even brought my wife, my angel to me, – – brought her and I together. Words cannot say how much I love them both!’

Now to why I felt I should publish this . . . One Sabbath, a Saturday, around mid-day, I was particularly stressed about not being able to communicate with anyone, and expressing that in prayer, to God, I ‘heard in the spirit’, very clearly: “it’s okay; we’ll talk!” That He would tell me so … … is beyond my wildest expectations! I love Him so!

WITHERED WOMBS WITHIN

A man from the darkness
seemingly, from the light
enters in thru Tupelo
Changing everything in sight
Darkness does that . . .
Determines which seeds are sown

Thorns and weeds

Gardens turn to blight
Death comes in with darkness
When blackbirds sing at night

Ambition’s a pretty whore
when seen in dawn’s pure light.
Impacting preborn babies,
cities decay from within.
Lukewarm don’t see the hidden sin,
looking the other way… …
babies hidden, then torn limb from limb
In the out–of–sight . . . within

The ROOT of SENSELESS CRIME

My comment – This article came to me from a learned and accomplished friend – a now, retired judge. With all the liberal “psycho-babel” out there now, I thought this warranted passing along.

My friend’s intro – “I have long-regaded Stanton Samenow, Ph.D., to be the world’s foremost authority on the dynamics of the criminal “mind” and over the years we have become friends through e-correspondence. This is a recent blog he wrote for “Psychology Today,” the magazine in which I first learned of his work back in the late 1960s or early 1970s. As a psychology major the issue of criminality has always been of interest to me, and that interest did not abate when, as a young lawyer, I was asked to represent people accused of a wide variety of crimes and as a judge had hundreds of accused criminals in my courtroom. Dr. Samenow’s excellent books include Inside the Criminal Mind, The Myth of the Out of Character Crime and Before It’s Too Late (an excellent book for teachers or parents dealing with a youngster seeming to be headed toward a life of irresponsibility)”

Boredom and the “Senseless” Crime

“I have frequently been contacted by media outlets to comment as to why a man or woman committed a particular crime. There is always the search for a motive. Was the perpetrator driven by greed, lust, revenge, envy, peer pressure, or some other inner or out circumstances?

Often, no matter how deeply one probes, no such motive surfaces. Take the situation of a man snoozing on a bench during a lazy summer afternoon in a deserted park. Suddenly, there descends upon him a young man – Pete – who drags him into the bushes, assaults him, then disappears into the bushes. Pete did not know this gentleman. He had never seen him before. So there could be no personal grudge. From the victim’s disheveled appearance and tattered clothing, he did not appear to be well to do. He wore no watch or jewelry. Carrying no personal belongings at all, he was an unlikely target for a robbery. Pete’s cruelty toward a perfect stranger appeared to be senseless, defying explanation. As it turned out, the park was not entirely deserted. A witness saw what transpired and dialed 911 on his cell phone. The police response was immediate, and Pete was apprehended.

As I interviewed Pete, he said in an offhand manner that he had nothing to do that afternoon and was “bored”. His attack on the man lying on the bench relieved that boredom. It was “something to do.” He experienced intense excitement at each phase of the crime. Prowling about to search out a vulnerable person, he spotted this man asleep. He honed in on his target and scanned the environment to be sure no one was around. The thought of attacking this man in broad daylight and getting away with it spurred him on. It provided a “rush.” Planning, executing the crime, then making his escape all contributed to dissipating his “boredom”.

A mental health professional can always arrive at some explanation for such an act. Perhaps Pete was abused as a child and therefore abused others. Perhaps something about the victim triggered a memory of a traumatic event. Maybe Pete sought to compensate for low self-esteem by proving he was bold and tough. Explanations are endless and often are more clever than they are correct. Revealing little about the offender, he can seize upon them as excuses. One offender, in a moment of rare candor, commented about his interactions with a psychiatrist, “If I didn’t have enough excuses for crime before psychiatry, I sure have enough now.”

Questions that try to identify “root causes” or tease out some allegedly hidden motive can interfere with efforts to understand the offender. If an interviewer endeavors to comprehend the world from the offender’s viewpoint, he will focus upon thinking processes — in this situation, what Pete meant by “boredom.” We have all experienced boredom but few of us have considered seeking relief by committing a crime. We endure boredom or find a diversion that does not result in injuring others. No one was preventing Pete from developing new interests or engaging in any number of legitimate activities. But he had no interest in doing so.
Pete remarked that he often found himself with “nothing to do” and bored. The criminal’s boredom is with responsible living itself. Pete’s criminality did not begin with the assault in the park. To him, life was great when he was hanging out with buddies who were game for about anything — burglary, vandalism, fighting, and racing cars down neighborhood streets. These activities that relieved boredom.

An investigator must learn what it is important to the offender and how he handles life’s challenges and adversities. Understanding the person’s thinking process are vital to making sense of the “senseless” crime.”

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS

ProChoice women, illogical at best, often angry, claim that the baby’s body is actually their body.  As preposterous as this is, their minds seem to have a total disconnect with reality ..

. . . common sense repudiates the illogical statement in the above poster.  You’d think it’d be clear, but they  stick to their claim, facts be damned.

If you’re Looking for the truth, I invite you to check out the hundreds of pages of logic presented in Randy Alcorn’s book, ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments, such as the following:

“A body part is defined by the common genetic code it shares with the rest of its body; the unborn genetic code differs from his mothers.  Every cell of the mothers tonsils appendix heart and lungs shares the same genetic code.  The unborn child also has a genetic code, distinctly different from  his mothers body.  Often his blood type is also different, and half the time even his gender is different …..  The child may die and the mother live, or the mother may die and the child to live, proving they are two separate individuals.   The child – guest is a temporary resident of the mother – host. He will leave on his own as long as he is not prematurely evicted. …..”

Ultra liberal corporations like STARBUCKS directly fund massive amount$ to Planned Parenthood as they choose to perpetrate horrible violence against the most defenseless – America’s pre-born!

We’re all aware that Planned Parenthood violently suctions babies apart, drowns them in a burning saline solution, or ends their lives in a myriad of ways . . 323,000 / year of ‘em.

Yet we continue to purchase their products? WHY?

Is it their choosing to hire refugees over veterans?

We need to know what amoral acts, our money funds, especially when spending money for coffee becomes a habit! It’s worthwhile taking the time to try other businesses which sell comparable products to find an inoffensive replacement. It’s way past time to boycott corporations who fund this violence!

It seems to me that the ONLY moral reasons to enter a Starbucks are:

• To ask a barista how they can justify working for a corporation that directly funds this violence …
• To ask a customer how they can purchase products from such a corporation … (handing out graphic example pictures LINK to them …. http://www.abortionno.org/cbr-store/killing-a-baby-is-a-bad-choice/
• To return a previously purchased product … (for instance, a coffee cup purchased in another city as a keepsake / reminder — now hopefully, intentionally broken, with a note explaining why.)

Please, share …

KOREA and OTHER PROXY WARS

Because of:
• North Korea’s more recent saber-rattling and
• People today have no concept of an entire world at war …

Though this example is not the entire world, I want to relate what my wife was recounting – to me this morning –one of her stories about her 2008 trip to Seoul, S. Korea.

One of her many memorable experiences, as told to me, follows: “Americans stand out there … Sitting on a public bus in an aisle seat, a frail elderly Korean man came and knelt on his knees in the aisle next to me, taking both my hands in his, with tears streaming down his face, saying over and over, “thank you for saving us!”

He explained his gratitude arising from America sending its best and bravest to keep Korea from being conquered by an army equipped and funded by Russia and China. She found similar gratitude expressed during her stay, but none quite so moving. Their War Museum gave much detail of how they were saved by America, even listing the names of each soldier from each country, who gave their lives for S. Korea’s freedom. The list under America was long! Where is our list? Arlington …

In America now, there’s no educating of WW I & II nor Korea – those days – how Americans died en mass for other’s freedoms – – those were different days! Now, we only teach of how bad we were – slavery and our shame over our treatment on Native Americans, etc. neglecting the good.

In Korea, the leftist unions have not taken over the educational system as they have here. Their children have learned; their elders have seen to it!

The Korean War was our 1st ‘proxy’ war’. Then, we were fighting China and Russia … but against hoards of Korean and Chinese suicidal troops.

Maybe, these proxy wars, as some military figures critically explain, it’s done as a way to test our weapons – defense and offense, but now we face an entirely different proxy enemy — one actually looking forward to death!!

They’ve believed a quasi-religious lie directly from the pit – that they’ll be rewarded in a later life.  They’re filled with hate passed from generation to generation, intensifying as it proceeds.  Korea, Iran, Syria and Iraq were recoently called – “the axis of evil” by George W.Bush, not inclusive enough, but . . .

Our current president wants to keep America safer from these and other extreme, violent enemies. And just who is it that opposes him/us? As always … it’s the violent left! Soros and Obama direct the fauda from afar …

We watch!

WAR CONTINUES – CIRCUMVENT the LIES BY OMISSION

Most people around the globe are not aware that in Israel … the war is a constant, ongoing threat … one which the Jewish residents live with daily.

The only time the outside world hears of anything, is when Israel strikes back … and that’s spun in such a way as to make Israel seem the aggressor!

The only way to counter this American Liberal mainstream media – it’s propaganda –  is to get the truth by logging onto the Jerusalem Post and other sources of truth, signing up for daily updates.  Israel is our ally!

BOYCOTT THE MSM Mainstream Media — find the truth.

Support Israel – purchase products.

THE LEFT IS RIGHT!

 

With the election over . . . Fascism is … actually rising in America . . . and the Left was actually right . . . What they had wrong was that — they are the FASCISTS!!!

Just look at University of Washington and UC-Berkeley where Milo Yiannopoulos went to speak. The same is true of the incredibly articulate Ben Shapiro. Organized, and paid (?) crowds of rioters consistently show up en mass and they’re not just there to protest’ they beat people who come to hear controversial speakers, just the same as it was at some of the Trump campaign sites. Oh, they also go to ‘town halls’ held by Republican Senators and Representatives to disrupt … to scream and shout them down. At the ‘town halls’ they’re not violent like when they’re on University campuses.

My first reaction when I saw the riot at UC Berkeley and the riot and shooting at UW this month, was “send in the troops!” But, tHat’s exactly what the left is trying to manipulate! Then, they’ll stand and say ‘see! We told you! They’re the Fascists!” (meaning us)

Read this article / watch the video where Fox’s Tucker Carlson interviews the ‘leader / organizer of the Berkeley riot.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/02/13/tucker_carlson_vs_berkeley_protestor_milo_yiannopoulos_a_fascist_must_be_stopped_by_any_means_necessary.html
As you listen . . . judge whether she qualifies for the ‘remove-the-log-from-your-own-eye’ Club.

These instances, along with president Trump’s seeming inability to logically convey a sincere, calm, coherent, and timely message to the heartland, (from what could be a powerful Bully Pulpit) – – rallying middle America to support Law & Order … leaves us in real trouble. Instead, he’s using tweets, to get around the mainstream media but tweets limit his communication to 140 characters! Unfortunately, as intelligent as he is, he doesn’t seen to have the knack President Ronald Reagan had.

In case some don’t watch the news, this “fireside chat” presentation, should be done in the Sean Hannity style, showing actual videos of the 3 recent riots, interspersed with his talk – 1) D.C. where property was damaged during the inauguration – where too few arrests were made, 2) University of Washington where Milo was to speak – where a riot of thousands of protestors ensued and a man was shot, and 3) the University of California-Berkeley where he (Milo) also tried to speak.

The same scenario of thuggish behavior from the left is true wherever Ben Shapiro attempts to speak on campuses across America!

Isn’t free speech what Berkeley was known for? This is a pattern! This truly is Fascism!

Who is to blame? Well the money can be traced back to George Soros. The FBI should be building a case against him for SEDITION against the US government!

I’d recommend a long jail sentence and then deporting Soros to Russia where there is a warrant out for his arrest.

WHEN GOVERNMENT STONEWALLS . . .

When the gov.stonewalls (withholding information) .  . . as they are doing regarding what’s going on with the refugee programs … and FOI — Freedom of Information law suits must be filed, to find out what’s been going on . . .

Then, these and more questions should follow:

•   What are they hiding, and why?
•.  Re: how they spend our $ … isn’t that TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION?
•   How much have they been stealing?
•   How do we follow the MONIE$?
•   Who has been getting wealthy?
•   Why is it that this watchdog group — JUDICIAL WATCH … is hated by Democrats? . . . . . and Republicans alike?
•   What does that say about them?

Why do I write these?  Hopefully, to inform others – especially those who love this country . . .

I noticed that someone recently, read an older blog article of mine entitled “our forefathers would have been shooting by now” . . .

 

NERO FIDDLED!

NERO FIDDLED

You’ve heard it … what does the phrase “Nero Fiddled” mean?  Maybe it was in a movie that I heard this so early on, or was it part of my education?

Remembering that phrase, I envisioned Emperor Nero atop his very own “white house” totally insane . . . laughing, fiddling away, watching the rising flames, whilst Rome burned below! Finally, the structure he was standing upon collapsed, killing him.

This “word picture” was created to convey a concept, but we’ve lost sight of it.
I contend that we see it before our very eyes now . . .
It’s not about just the head-man – – the Emperor; it’s true of every citizen …

I contend too, that we’re all culpable. Every person is distracted! Every person is so involved – trying to rectify his/her own hot-button, his/her particular problem . . . we cannot see the raging firestorm in the forest, which now surrounds us.

When all America’s “polar opposites” gather, making alliances amongst themselves, ignoring what they hate about each other . . . we’d best pay attention. Something’s up!

• Feminists have joined with those who currently oppress women!
• LGBT rights activists have joined with those who hurl gays from rooftops!
• Anarchists have joined with totalitarians, despots looking to enslave.
• Leftists radicals (though their philosophy is godless) have joined with Islamic fundamentalists.
• Radical, calling themselves “the 99%”, have joined the Mega-wealthy George Soros!
• Those who long to die for their god … killing, for their 72 virgins, have joined with those who live for their “party-time.”

We’re all culpable, because we’re so myopically focused, we cannot see!
Writers for the 60’s movie “Butterflies Are Free” included the line: “There are none so blind as those who will not see!”
It is End Times and right now … we’re all consumed with our own “causes” … … …

*  Progressives fight conservatives
*  Anti-legalizers, protecting children, fight drug use.
*  Christians fight Satan’s aborting innocents.
*  Constitution originalists fight judges’ activism.
*  Historians fight historical revisionism.

We see the enemy’s goal – the destruction of the US!
There is, as Reagan said, “nowhere else to run to!”   We’re down to … either war or Armageddon!

Wait . . . Armageddon is war!

According to the Bible, (the book of prophesies which has never been wrong) when it comes to the final war, we’re not mentioned – are we out of the picture ‘cause we’ve been defeated already?

All it says is the entire world marches on Israel!

BEHIND OUR BACKS . . .

Ever wonder what is going on behind our back . . . and by whom? ? ?

Your FREEDOM is at stake.   This move will END the USA!

Below, is a lady who “Pulls Back the Curtain” – – – it’ not only a MUST WATCH!  PLEASE FORWARD THIS LINK – our entire nation must know!

OUT of THE UN!     The goal of this EVIL — Islam — is world domination!

 

 

 

A LIBERAL’S PRAYER . . . .

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning — no; not for freedom, but rather for Sharia law and for dictators of old …

Give us your warriors who long to die killing infidel women and children …

Give us rioters who long for their no-go zones …

Give us those who oppress and enslave women …

Give us those who seek to exterminate others …

Give us those who throw gays from rooftops …

Give us men whose test of masculinity is to teach their children to hate …

Give us your refugees though violent jihadists hide among them…

Give us those who are descendants of 40 generations of inbreeding …

Give us your false gods, your Alli Babba and his 40 thieves … your lying politicians, your gullible – those most likely to convert to the violent ways.”

THE REAL ENEMY . . .

The entire world’s civilization is under attack. An EVIL this powerful has risen before; not often, but that was when the world was much smaller. Now, thanks to this (predicted) ‘Age of Information’, we see manifestations of this irrational violence, almost monthly.

As if Chattanooga, San Bernardino, Orlando, Boston, Fort Hood, (there are others) – were not enough for us to know, our nation is under attack; we have a heroin epidemic raging through our demonized culture; our enemy calls us the Great Satan, and in some ways (porn & other selfish behaviors) for good reason. He chants “death to America” and tells us openly he will infiltrate the refugees immigrating here to finish us off! This enemy is like none other we’ve faced before in that he longs to die!  Meanwhile, Iran is developing nuclear weapons …

He, this enemy, is insane by all our standards.

We’re now burdened with an idealistic, yet irreverent, radicalized, leftist community who looks the other way and just doesn’t grasp the danger – or is it that they hate so deeply, they just don’t care any longer?

As also predicted, they call EVIL “good” and good “EVIL”.  Chaos and riots . . .  The firing of the Acting Attorney General . . . 

Obviously, we’re well into END TIMES!

Have those of us who prayed against the most corrupt woman nominee in history … or for a man of God’s own choosing, now turned our backs and ceased praying?

Does God have a different twist … for our killing of pre-borns?

Do you not perceive who our real enemy is?

Do not the words “principalities & powers” mean anything to you?

OBAMA’S BIGGEST FAILURE!!!

It’s not just the rampant divisiveness caused by his actions and inactions.  

But won’t it be great if President Trump (a white man, accused of racism, by the Left) is the one to end the rampant shooting violence in Chicago?!?  (Especially since former President Obama’s continual fanning the flames of racism.)

Won’t that make it clear to all, that the Left was also part of the problem – keeping the race-baiting-liberals in power – yes’ that includes Rahm and Barack, and the Democratic Administration of Baltimore … the leftists in the so-called Women’s march last weekend, the former Attorney Generals, Loretta Lynch as well as Eric Holder …. etc.?

Tonight, on the O’Reilly Factor, Bill pointed out that there have been 42 homicides in Chicago – already this year! That’s up 24%, even from last year. There have been 228 shootings this year, as well!

That’s 228 shootings in just 23 days!!!

Bill went on to ask Horace Cooper (from the NATIONAL CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH — an attorney that specializes in Federal Law) — can President Trump can end the violence and if so, “how?”

His answer is encouraging . . . . If you want more, tune in O’Reilly’s show. It repeats on Fox News again tonight.

I WISH . . .

I get so angry when I think of tiny pre-born babies being dismembered (ripped apart) by abortion doctors (using the term “doctors” loosely) I can’t stand it!

I envision the violence which enrages me, and then subsequently, grieves me even more . . . tiny body parts being violently sucked apart. It’s a bloody picture.

It’s a righteous anger I feel, so I know it’s ok … … but at times I wonder why the Holy Spirit laid this on my heart so heavily … if I can do nothing about it.

It’s ” selfish wants” that cause people to ‘get rid” of the inconvenience . . . it was for me . . . almost 5 decades ago. My 15 year-old daughter had run away from her mom’s. When I tracked her down … and brought her home to live with me … that’s when I found out she was pregnant. I “wanted” a better life for her.

At that time, I believed the lie – that it was only a “blob of flesh.” She didn’t want an abortion but I insisted – she was pretty and her boyfriend had abandoned her; having a baby at that age was an expressway to poverty.

Maybe it has to do with my guilt. I know that once I was convicted of what I’d done, I grieved for what seems weeks. My wife at the time kept telling that — as we were now Christians and felt remorse, that I  was forgiven …  now, I find myself holding a graphically offensive sign of an aborted baby’s body parts on busy Seattle streets.  I know I’m forgiven but I still grieve for those who’ve not yet come to that ….  Plus, I pray that I may impact someone who passes by …  (the signs come from abortionno.org)

Jodi, my daughter, died a year ago; I’ll never know for sure, why she hated me so after that, but it seems obvious to me; she’d refused to talk to me for well over a decade …  here is the photo of her as a little girl’ it shows her innocence . . .

Abortions have eternal consequences — ask almost any ‘almost mom‘ … in my mind, Jodi will always be my little girl, and I loved her so much – still do – – always will.  I’m confident that she knew I loved her … she … just couldn’t forgive me.

I’m remarried now and my beautiful wife also got pregnant young; the difference is, she carried Michelle to term and gave her up for adoption … … … a few years back, she found Michelle and it’s so uplifting to watch their relationship grow … to see what could have been …

I wish . . .

to close this, I’m not so sure there’s nothing I can do about it.  I believe the Holy Spirit may have given me a plan …  if you’re in the Seattle area and willing to help, leave me a reply.  I cannot do this alone.

1/27/7. — Praise God!  I just read this Great news: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/arkansas-governor-signs-ban-on-dismembering-unborn-babies-in-abortion

The D.C. eived

THE NEW PRETENDERS

Pompous (seculars) claiming to be … or at least thinking of themselves as – “clergy” gathered in D.C. this week to supposedly “bless” an abortuary, a New facility for Planned Parenthood, where the enemy of God is to continue his vile murderers of innocent pre-borns.

Obviously, knowing nothing of what God, when incarnated as Jesus, taught … that their ‘prayers’ will be ignored by God, but we should take note that they’re doubling down by building in our nation’s capital!

What is of import is:

• These seculars are part of the politically “progressive” “social justice” movement which successfully targeted liberal churches for infiltration and takeover.
• Being these same secular, leftists are now targeting the Catholic Church, the staunchest defenders of the pre-born.
• We, as believers, know:
o The end of the book.
o That we’ve had “tares” among us, attempting to ‘delegitimize’ God’s teaching – for eons
o We’re taught to be aware of wolves … in sheep’s clothing …

That’s exactly who these ‘pretenders’ are!
Time to dig deeper into the word. Time to turn our backs to them..

Also, it’s:
• Time to focus upon Ephesians 5:11 and Ezekiel 3:17-21 (expose and confront them)
• Time to lift them up in prayer so that their deep-seated psychological need for ‘recognition’ and ‘respect’ of peers, no longer keeps them deceived – their path leads them and others to eternal destruction, after all.
• It’s way past time to be about Our Father’s business! We are instructed to protect these innocents being sent to death.

THE YEARS of DISGUST — The Obama Years

In these years, black men have turned to hating . . .  We can thank God Obama’s term is almost over!

Democrats have become like Palestinians, teaching their children to hate . . .
Now Democrats, outraged,  . . . do the same toward our President-Elect.

They’re calling republicans names, claiming it’s because they’re greedy and yet . . . they embrace the wealthy, greedy Soros who funds their egregious acts, topples nation’s and funds illicit drug legalization, destroying families around the world.

They’re calling those who believe in God … ignorant.  Though that’s nothing new, they no longer ‘pretend’; they’ve now unashamedly removed God from their party’s platform.
They laud and accept perversion as normal and acceptable, even enabling pedophiles to enter our children’s bathrooms.
Not unlike others, they’ve come out of the closet, so-to-speak.

As Bob Dylan pointed out, everybody’s got to serve someone.

In bonding with this evil, abandoning morals, they’ve chosen openly whom they serve.

AN ALIEN’S VIEW

Wondering, and watching,

looking in, from outside,

at this terrestrial ball called earth

 

numerous questions occur.

 

Why is its height … more than its girth?

 

As crazy as it is to ask,

just what is its diagnosis?

 

Looking at it most objectively,

….. it must be

Some sort of mass psychosis!

(Meaning, of course . . . for its’ in habitants . . .

… mankind . . .)

 

Then, just what …

…. Is their predictable prognosis?

 

Leave them alone ….

And sooner or later,

Mostly out of spite, …..

They’ll proceed, … to cut off their noses!

ABORTION

The courthouse wall’s of burnished granite

shamefully on display

The “courts” have justified our hearts hardening . . . as stone

our Holy scriptures explain – – –

something about a millstone around the neck,

of those who’d harm a little one.

 

Silent screams escape now, crying from their bones

telling a story which brings us to the end of days …

Moloch has returned, demanding sacrifices

No one seems to know … what dark moonless night it was,

when evil crept in . . . we just know, she is comfortable here

 

She resides here, this unseen evil, in our midst

No one speaks of her, nor even mention she exists

In this thick blinding, bloodly mist …

no one sees clearly … no one dares to speak;

it’s hard to catch our breath.

 

As they pass by, not one … will even risk a glance … we cannot.

God knows every one of these little ones;

He, Himself can no longer … put up with this,

It’s only right that we should cry, and fear!

ALIYAH

When the light is long and time is short, should we stumble onto that door, the one hidden in the cleft of the rock, so to speak, with fear and trepidation, will we enter in?

Or will we pass it by … … .. once again?

Deep within, we seek to re-live those rare moments strewn throughout life, when we’ve touched the soul of another.  To try again, it takes reckless abandon, …. rejection can be damagingly harsh.

Be it because of a fleeting memory, a longing gaze, a pleasant smile, or just an unexpected kind word, or maybe the security of the womb, from long ago, we still long to re-experience intimacy.
What more can one ask of another?
We sense that our time here, so far from home, is to be as a stranger in a strange land.
Periodically, we join ourselves to whom we judge to be safe and loving, but most such “alliances” are precipitous, ringing shallow, bereft of lasting intimacy.

But, …. when we actually enter in, succeeding in touching the soul of another, as we move through life, no matter how far apart we are, we’re bound, however lightly, … for all time.

Let us remember those encounters and take the chance again, to know one another, more deeply.

Understand, though, that doing so, makes us vulnerable to those, who would, with the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel, separate us, …. …. body from soul.

This unseen evil, which walks among us, has a goal …. at the least, it’s to damage and intimidate us, to keep us isolated.  It’s ultimate goal is, to put an end to love.

It’s unreachable because of unseen guardians encamped around us, purposefully protecting us — placed there, by our creator.

His impetus, . . . his protection, has allowed our limited successes … has changed us, changed our world, ….. forever.
Still, the question is: “Why is He not enough?”
He should be …. why do we so need others?

That’s where the pain lies in wait.

But as for me, …. I live within an obscure, opaque vision …… that on some dark night, when I walk the docks alone, only by intuition, I’ll recognize, I’m not alone – another is there ….. just beyond sight, …. in the fog, … just beyond touch, and without seeing her, …. without speaking, we sense the near contact, and buoy one another with the hope to go on, ….. to become another year older and can say once more: Next Year, Jerusalem!

GOT COMPASS?

You have a compass?  

If not, what is it, that gives you direction?  A compass can guide us only because there is a fixed point by which we navigate.  Is there a fixed point in your life?

Though pleasure’s a starting point, for most, . . . it’s not enough. We grow, things change.  Eventually, life, … must have meaning.

That the world is round, makes it so we can see ahead, only for a relatively short distance.

Life is like that too . . . . Looking ahead is difficult for most. My fixed point … at times, allows me to see into the future . . . . something I’ve long desired. Many reject my reasoning, …. for many reasons, but it’s good and true.

Life is short; inspirations buoy us; love, music, writings, art, but we’d best spend our time passing through wisely; it’d best not all be for naught.

Pray, plan and proceed wisely, … for beyond this place, . . . . there be DEMONS, and DRAGONS!

And from my vantage point, … looking ahead at our future, this place … now surrounds us.

FLATLINED – – – out of my body

She came into my room ‘just to see how I was doing’, she told me. I didn’t recognize her . . . not at first. That is, until Skip opened the door, and said “there you are … finally … Dr. Fitz wants you, Stat!” She’d had to turn in her seat to look up at him, poking his head in the door behind her.

“Coming”, she answered. She began to rise from her seat near the foot of my hospital bed.

“Wait, wait, wait! You’re the one!” I’d recognized her only when she turned to respond to Skip – then’s when I saw the back and top of her head; as she’d turned; I’d seen her first, while out of my body, floating far above her, looking down, in Recovery, after my operation.

Tears began to flow down her cheeks as she began to sob openly and nodded ‘yes’. “God told me to keep you alive! I’m not suppose to be here. I just had to know you survived.”

She came over to me,, took my hand, and explained “I have to go; I’m sure he’s upset . . . my being here; I’m glad you’re OK.”

I’ve not seen her since – – don’t even remember her name. Wish I did! I’d really like to thank her! I’m sure she’s no longer there; my accident had been on May 10th, 1974 – over 32 years ago. I doubt Skip is there either . . . There’s no way I could find her now.

I’ve meant to find a picture – one on the front page of the L.A. Times – the day after my accident. The photo was of a hang-glider – hanging dead. (I was told) he was hanging from the same power lines I was caught up in … later, the same day!

I remember being in recovery … at least this part I do. It seems I’d been a minimum of 20’ above her. I could hear her, but it was faint – as if she were a block away. As I watched, she began to hit my chest, she slapped me at one point, took hold of my shoulders and shook my torso. When she saw signs I was breathing, she turned me onto my side hanging part way off the gurney and leaned in, close to my ear – I could tell she was yelling but her voice was still faint. “Cough up the blood, take a breath! She repeated this over and over while holding me hanging part way off. I don’t know for how long.

I remember thinking “all I have to do is let go” meaning “relax.” I remember seeing the silver cord, floating loosely, between me and my body. I was what was out. Me! My body seemed to have little relevance. I wasn’t scared. In my mind, to ‘let go’ would have been nothing traumatic – kind of like just ‘going to sleep’ but I was fully cognizant that it meant dying!

The reason I know that, is because of the very next thought that ran through my head – “what’ll happen to my kids?” With that, I immediately, “snapped back into my body, writhing in pain. I’m confident it was definitely my ‘love for’ and/or ‘worry about’ my kids that made me ‘hang on’. Somehow, I knew it would be easier to ‘let go.’

Some incidents are implanted in our brains so strongly that they change us, permanently. Forever!

It’s as fresh in my mind today, 32 years later, as this handicapped chair I’ve had to sit in and help me get around, for almost 3 months now.

I never feared death after that … not that death is something I consciously thought about, either before or after, but from that day forward, I was always wondering why others were so irrationally afraid of dying. That change, surely came from my “flatlining” (note that I don’t call it “dying” any longer.)

As an ‘aside’– watches have never run on me since being “out-of-my-body.” Watches given to me, would quit … often within the hour I put them on. Certainly, before the day was over. I’ve not worn one, for decades because of that – I’d thank the giver but I usually explain why … my way of apologizing for not accepting it.

I don’t tell many people … until now, that is … of an explanation I heard on ‘talk radio’ around 15 years ago. I don’t remember who it was, but he claimed that people who’ve had ‘out-of-body-experiences’ often have this same experience – that watches won’t run on them … and when so, won’t again, until they’re repaired. He claimed that the out-of-body-experience disrupts the body’s electrical systems and therefore the watch’s as well.

I find I wonder about my ALS; our neurological system is our body’s electrical system – did my accident cause such havoc on my neurological system (not just watches) that ALS was just lying in wait … dormant, for decades?

STRANGE LOST!

Former Judge Roy Moore won the election, defeating RINO Luther Strange – Trump’s chosen candidate, so will President Trump now have to follow through with keeping his promises?  Will there be a U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem???  Will there be a wall?

We’ll wait and see, but the critical question is: Will he sign the Pro-Life bill?  Now’s the time of testing!  Hopefully, we won’t have to wait for McCain, Collins and Murkowski to go?  Hopefully soon!
