How will Satan's antichrist make his debut with the great American facillitator removed from the world scene? The American regime excelled in erecting the building blocks toward world government and was adding the final touches to Satan's kingdom before calamity struck. Who will take your place? Without America, there would be no United Nations, no IMF, no World Bank, no WTO, no ICC, no EU, no Soviet Russia, no Maoist China, no Bolshevik Revolution, no Communist Cuba, no Versailles Treaty, and probably no German national socialism and WW II. Without America, millions would have been spared early deaths at the hands of communist and fascist buthchers. That's right. Who funded the communists and fascists and paved their paths to power? Thank you American bankers, American politicians, American industrialists and "progressive" American humanitarians. Thank you American Rockefeller family and all of your fellow cohorts in power who aided the growth and expansion of totalitarian and authoritarian governments everywhere, including your own. And thank you hoi polloi Americans for possessing such squeaky clean brains, having been thoroughly scrubbed raw by the statist media whores, by educrats who would have made Antonio Gramsci envious and by the oligarchs' political cardboard cut-out figureheads. Your drowsiness enabled their nefarious efforts to succeed, without which your virtuous rulers would have been hard pressed to achieve. Thanks for nothing.

I hope it falls on K Street....or is it KY Street? The Washington Memorial? Why? Was he endowed? If Paul Bunyan were alive today.....I'd ask him to pluck it out of the sacred ground of the District of Columbia (hallowed be its name), wrap an American flag around it and hand it to Jeff Gannon. He's a great American, and he'll know what to do with it, just ask that organ grinder monkey pal of his in the White House. Speaking of the White House....Why can't someone in the Secret Service secretly paint the White House black? Who would notice? And the Pentagon building is incomplete; fully extend it (But not like the Washington Memorial) and fill it out, so it can resemble it's true design which is that of a pentagram, Washington's most sacred and esteemed of all symbols. Besides being a great American, why is Dick Cheney always sneering? Is he constipated? And where did all of that grade A government cheese end up? The Lincoln memorial? Who needs it? If I could defecate in his lap I would, but the Capitol DC Comics Police would probably arrest me and stuff. Why? I don't have the foggiest notion. I just thought of something funny.....What if someone from the FBI tippy-toed over to the Lincoln Memorial one evening and chiseled the face of J. Edgar Hoover onto Abe's visage? Would there be enough time to chisel a dress too? And why can't the holy American ruling class erect other phallic monuments to other great Americans like Spiro Agnew, Zbigniew Brzezinski or Chef Boyardee? Beefaroni samples to all who visit this great American's phallic gravestone. The Star Speckled Banner national anthem should be played on loudspeakers from red, white and blue minarets shaped like the Washington Memorial five times a day in DC. All who visit this sanctified city will receive Trojan samples and miniature Washingtom Memorials to commemorate our Great American Oligarchy. Matt Sanchez, another great American, and his great American submissive male friend Sean Hannity, along with his patriotic mother Michael Medved, could be hired as DC tour guides and offer tours and other services to anyone who dares visit this honorable and glorious cesspool of excrement and other bodily emissions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-71740835602787365132008-03-24T22:01:00.000-06:002008-03-24T22:01:00.000-06:00I know readers of blogs seldom take the time to fo...I know readers of blogs seldom take the time to follow and read the links that other readers post, but let me tell you about the link below.<BR/><BR/>It is an essay, written by Major General Smedley Butler in the 1920's following World War One. General Butler was the ONLY American in history ever to have won TWO Congressional Medals of Honor, and if anyone knew war, he did. Nobody, not even Ann Coulter or Bill O'Reilly, can question his expertise or his bravery or his patriotism. <BR/><BR/>His essay is entitled, "War Is A Racket," and if you read nothing else this week, you should read this:<BR/><BR/>http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm<BR/><BR/>Mr. Grigg's last essay was entitled: "Why Aren't We Angry Yet?" Well, Mr. Grigg, we are. Oh, yes. Yes indeed. So what will we do about it?<BR/><BR/>As satisfying as it would be to see 535 lampposts in Washington adorned with low-hanging fruit becoming black and bloated in the sun, or to sit knitting before the steps of the National Capitol as Madame Guillotine delivered serious hickeys to the denizens of that whited sepulcher, which without is fair to behold but within is full of dead men's bones, as nice as all this would be, it is just a happy fantasy.<BR/><BR/>But not to worry, the mills of justice are grinding slowly, but they will grind exceeding fine. What is about to happen, which you may someday remember you read it here, is that the US economy is about to collapse, totally, massively, and terminally. <BR/><BR/>When all the corporations are bankrupt and all stocks are worthless and the banks are busted and the US Dollar is Monopoly money, (Did you know that in 2004 the Iraqi dinar was 1,480 dinars to the dollar? Today it is only 1,200 dinars to the dollar. The Iraqi dinar??!! I kid you not. Look it up. The only currency in the world that has lost value against the US Dollar is the Zimbabwe Dollar.) - only then will the USA cease its warmongering and exploitation of the rest of the world. <BR/><BR/>Only then will it cease its crushing of the aspirations and the loves and hopes and lives of tens of millions of brown and yellow people, and the wanton destruction of the very planet we live on.<BR/><BR/>Only when the USA is bankrupt and cannot bribe them and buy them off any more, will the world's politicians stop bowing and scraping and doing exactly as they are told by the USA. <BR/><BR/>Only then, when we cannot afford to buy food for our soldiers or gas for their tanks and planes or bullets for their guns, will we pull out of Iraq.<BR/><BR/>And it is coming soon to a town near you! Watch for it, and as you cook up your dinner of leaves and grass, or of stone soup, (Recipe: three round stones, unwashed, with the soil still attached, and a quart of water. Boil for 20 minutes, and drink.) - when you are enjoying that dinner, remember that this is the result of unbridled arrogance, and of insensitivity to the rest of the world's suffering, and of wanton greed for many generations, and that the greediest of the greedy will have their reckoning day too.<BR/><BR/>This is what investment guru Bill Bonner said in his column this week about Bear Stearns: (Ho, Ho, Ho, this is SOOOO good, so good, oh boy oh boy...read and enjoy, dear brothers and sisters...)<BR/><BR/>"Last week was “hell week,” for the poor people who owned the [Bear Stearns] business. They went skiing or fishing on Friday evening. When they turned on the news Monday morning, they found that they had been wiped out. Bear’s bridge-champion chief, Jimmy Cayne, for example, had more than a billion dollars’ worth of Bear stock. But when the dust settled last week it was worth only $30 million.<BR/><BR/>"What went wrong? The firm made a big bet – on derivatives, of course. Not that we feel sorry for Mr. Cayne. He should have known better than anyone what he had. And if he’d been smart, he would have gotten rid of it. Besides, the whole Bear team had it coming. When LongTerm Capital Management got into trouble 10 years ago, Bear refused to come to its aid.<BR/><BR/>"And it’s not as if he’s going to be out on the street, begging for quarters. You can still live well with only $30 million. Well, you can still live fairly well. The price of diesel fuel rose to $4.06 a gallon in the United States last week." <BR/><BR/>HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>One billion dollars to $30 million, eh? In a weekend, eh? Well, that is almost as good as the guillotine being taken to his neck, and just think, now he gets to live long, long, long, and ponder the consequences of his greed. Let's hope he manages to distill some wisdom from it. Then he can pass his expensively purchased wisdom on to all his fat cat buddies who are going to follow him into bankruptcy.<BR/><BR/>Ah, joy, joy!!! Huzzah, Hooray, oh happy day! Thank you, Lord!! <BR/><BR/>Mr. Grigg, let us away to dreamland. I shall sleep well this night!

I personally like Ron Paul's stance of non-interventionism which our founding fathers favored.

Wasn't Kinison a preachers son?</I><BR/><BR/>I think so, but I do know that when I saw his acts in the mid-80s I heard him claim that he was a preacher himself at one time.<BR/><BR/><I>I think he was so fed up with the backstabbing hypocrisy that he witnessed towards his own family that he threw down the flood gates of rage.</I><BR/><BR/>Perhaps, but if so, poor Sam made a mistake. In essence, he was admitting to his <I>own</I> hypocrisy, not so much that of his family, and couldn't stand living a lie, resulting in him raging against Christianity. Not really surprising when you think about it. At the very least, he <I>was</I> honest about being a fake.<BR/><BR/><I>I know that I'm not personally responsible for the sins committed by my neighbor nor he for mine.</I><BR/><BR/>Yep, not another human soul on this planet has the means (perfection) to pay for another's transgressions. We're all broke in that regard.<BR/><BR/><I>That idea of "village" only goes so far. But is sure is a hard bone to swallow and I have a great deal of sympathy with non-believers in this area.</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, but please don't misunderstand what I said. I'm <I>not</I> sayin' in any way that we should simply ignore evil, or be indifferent thereto, simply because we ourselves ain't perfect and may have some bones in our closets. Who doesn't? What I <I>am</I> sayin' is simply that we should tread lightly about sayin' through innuendo or otherwise that certain humanoids will <I>surely</I> be "burning in hell" when it's all said and done. We obviously don't know that, but even so that shouldn't ever preclude us from opposing evil in the public sphere nonetheless. We just better be ready and even desire to be called out for our own misdeeds in that process; it's what accountability is all about, after all.<BR/><BR/><I>Keith Green said that going to church no more made you a Christian than going to McDonalds made you a hamburger!</I><BR/><BR/>Indeed, I agree.<BR/><BR/><I>I myself get very tired of the evil commited by utterly corrupt people and yet have to bite my tongue time and again. Its like some sort of twisted catch-22 with heaven and hell in play.</I><BR/><BR/>See above. It also sometimes (or perhaps continually) needs to be pointed out that God looks at sin as sin. If you break one commandment, you're as guilty as one who breaks them all. A liar is a mass-murderer is an adulterer is a gossip, etc., etc. God's standard is <I>perfection</I> and if one's not <I>perfectly</I> righteous (and no human being is), he's a ragweed and evil until that one accepts Christ's pardon, is born again, and is forgiven.<BR/><BR/><I>Oh, and another thing, there was once a story about the NRB and their conventions which noted that Liqour sales soared whenever and wherever that con was in town.<BR/><BR/>That'll make you think.</I><BR/><BR/>Not really, as there'll always be "Swaggarts" in the Christian crowd. The key is to be able to identify them as such and ignore them. Of course, if they happen to also occupy positions of authority within the church, however, boot 'em out. It's simple, yet complex to manage to follow through on, I know.<BR/><BR/>Please don't broadly paint an <I>imperfect</I> human being who openly opposes evil as a hypocrite. Many certainly are, to be sure, as they try to hide from accountability and not taking responsibility for their deeds and accepting the attendant consequences for them. That said, however, many really do earnestly oppose evil and when they succumb to temptation in whatever arena expect to be also held accountable by the same rules.<BR/><BR/>I would not term such people as hypocrites. The critical difference is in the acceptance of responsibility and accountability for deeds and not the deeds themselves.<BR/><BR/>What I find most interesting is that many people will say, "Throw out all prohibitions (especially those pertaining specifically to drugs, sex, and alcohol)! Besides, people will <I>simply do it anyway</I>!" Gee, it's funny that those same folk don't care to apply that same logic to "smoking cigarettes, openly opposing fairyfests on public property, owning and/or carrying guns, and a million other things. I find <I>this</I> kind of hypocrisy, on the other hand, almost pandemic nowadays. Again, not surprising from my viewpoint, but disconcerting nonetheless.dixiedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845646940134894119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-37392236215272910702008-03-22T21:10:00.000-06:002008-03-22T21:10:00.000-06:00"I find some consolation in the knowledge that the..."I find some consolation in the knowledge that there is also a hell."<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.apbrown2.net/web/imprecss.doc" REL="nofollow">Imprecatory</A> thoughts and prayers may have their place.<BR/><BR/>The psalmist said in Psalms 139<BR/>“Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee?” and in Psalms 55 “Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-80845240366812159762008-03-22T12:23:00.000-06:002008-03-22T12:23:00.000-06:00Surely you have done one of the best jobs of summi...Surely you have done one of the best jobs of summing up the current and dire predicament of our nation. I share your amazement at the lack of outrage among the populace. I also find it amazing that the "Christian" right/evangelical wing of the Chruch in America is not only silent, but even vigorously supportive of this war. I have tried to reach out to my brethren to educate them in the non-Biblical nature of aggressive warfare. Almost universally, I have been met with indifference, mild to strong rebuke for not being patriotic and submssive to my government, and even warned about the dire Islamic threat to our liberty, and Christian nation.<BR/><BR/>As a retired military officer, I once worshipped at the feet of our government and the god of democracy, so I can find no fault in them. When I was converted to Christianity and concurrently to libertarian thinking, I began my own process of coming to deal with my skewed education and thinking. So, I try to keep in mind that I am dealing often with ignorance and not indifference. <BR/><BR/>One of the most interesting revelations that my efforts have led to is the discovery of how far we (includes me) have blended the Bible and nationalism, and Christianity with formal political movements. So, in some sense, for modern Christians outrage would first have to be preceded by repentence for worshipping the state. Again, I approach this as much as an issue of ignorance and indoctrination, as one of outright sin. I will, however, hold the pulpit accountable for feeding the church so poorly from she scriptures that we are now an anemic body, having cast aside orthodox creeds and doctrines for pablum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-85555319758581092602008-03-22T10:59:00.000-06:002008-03-22T10:59:00.000-06:00Do you like your political representatives?

Does each day bring happiness and hope for a future that can only get better? Is meaning found by you in everything you must do? Does their representation bring forth a beauty of life that resounds deep within, filling your soul with joy? For most of you, the answer is a sad, unforgiving NO. This is the reason why you should KILL YOUR POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES. This is an important decision for you, quite possibly the most important choice you will ever have to make; a revolutionary action that will permanently correct the multitudinous wrongs of your past, changing things FOREVER.<BR/><BR/>The painful truth is that your political representatives have lied to you all of your life. Everyone has slowly and utterly deprived you of freedom, insuring your continued existence as a SLAVE. From day one, YOU have unwittingly taken part in a ceaseless effort by THEM to fill your mind with an all-encompassing sense of hopelessness and despair only remedied by your absolute acceptance of slave-hood. Know that to THEM you exist valueless, except as a thrall. This dire state persists, crushing you down. It may even seem like that's all there is to life.<BR/><BR/>Through ritualized murder, you can CHANGE everything and make a real difference. All this depression, strife, worry and sadness will swiftly disappear when you KILL YOUR POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES, particularly those who afflict you. Rid yourself of pain by giving it to someone else. KILL as reflection. Why should YOU be the one to suffer? Standing above your VICTIM, you will find yourself simply overcome by feelings of felicity, bliss and merriment. Ask yourself this: all the anger and pain that you feel, from where did it come? Certainly, you did not will it upon yourself. No, it came from YOUR POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES and traveled inside YOU by THEIR design. Nothing can compare to the ecstasy that you will experience simply by KILLING THEM. The accumulated flaws of your life will vanish as you obtain a new and perfect mystical clarity when you rid the world of these useless people. So KILL THEM NOW. KILL for your soul's benefit. They have never really truly cared for you. Don't believe their lies. Do something for YOU, not something for THEM. Why accept anything less than freedom? KILL THEM to liberate your spirit and open your mind. Let the administration of DEATH be your road to salvation. KILL for today, KILL for tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Your bright future can begin today and KILLING YOUR POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES is the only way. There is nothing wrong with KILLING; it is simply a malignant lie perpetrated by THEM to keep YOU in a state of servitude. Don't succumb to their false truths. Respond to YOUR needs. Stop the oppression of your soul and EMPOWER YOURSELF BY KILLING THEM. Rise forever above your curse of mundane existence. KILL THEM NOW.<BR/><BR/>(this is a spoof - don't kill anyone)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-45931532107054121482008-03-22T09:37:00.000-06:002008-03-22T09:37:00.000-06:00"Brought to power democratically, Hitler and his P..."Brought to power democratically, Hitler and his Party created a revolution within the form of the fatally flawed Weimar constitution (which permitted, inter alia, the executive to rule by decree in emergencies)."<BR/><BR/>If I'm not mistaken, dozens of "emergencies" declared by executive order, some dating back decades, remain in effect today.<BR/><BR/>Indeed, since some executive orders are secret, probably there are even more emergencies that we aren't even aware of.<BR/><BR/>In Bush's fractured Yale-simalacrum Low German, it's likely called the "Decidererprinzip" or some such gibberish.

Keith Green said that going to church no more made you a Christian than going to McDonalds made you a hamburger! <BR/><BR/>I myself get very tired of the evil commited by utterly corrupt people and yet have to bite my tongue time and again. Its like some sort of twisted catch-22 with heaven and hell in play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-63447168934285190162008-03-20T16:16:00.000-06:002008-03-20T16:16:00.000-06:00I don't care what people think.

Po...I really like the Liberty Minute for yesterday. <BR/><BR/>Posted below:<BR/><BR/>Iraq: Again, May God Forgive Us March 19, 2008<BR/><BR/> <A HREF="http://www.prolibertate.us/" REL="nofollow">Will Grigg's Liberty Minute</A><BR/><BR/>March 19, 2008<BR/><BR/>Five years ago today, without the constitutionally required declaration of war, propelled by malign ambition and acting behind a barricade of conscious lies, George W. Bush committed our nation to a useless, illegal, and immoral war in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>Nearly 4,000 American families have been deprived of a loved one because of Mr. Bush’s war, which has also claimed the lives of an estimated 1.3 million Iraqis. Our economy has been shattered by the expense of the conflict, which may reach three trillion dollars. Similar damage has been done to our nation’s prestige worldwide.<BR/><BR/>Last week, the Pentagon completed a definitive report concluding that there was no evidence of a connection between Saddam Hussein’s regime and the al-Qaeda terrorist network accused of committing the September 11 attack. That non-existent connection, along with Saddam’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction, was the supposed rationale for a war we should never have started.<BR/><BR/>Let us repent of the grave sin of that unnecessary war, and take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-72757912067464266912008-03-20T09:37:00.000-06:002008-03-20T09:37:00.000-06:00Bah, we get the government we deserve. If the Ami ...Bah, we get the government we deserve. If the Ami folk <I>still</I> wish to believe this Regime's nonsense on the Iraq War or the economy, or whatever else, then it's <I>their own fault</I> and not the Regime's mouthpieces and attendant sycophants, nor their trusted media marionettes, nor Hollyweird, nor any other "led us to believe..." <I>worldly</I> entity. If we continually listen and pay heed to <I>worldly</I> influences (and thereby conveniently blame when it all goes sour) on why we act or perform a certain way in this life, we'll never get straight. After all the "father of lies" and the grand master of all evil and his demonic hosts won't be the only cabal who chose to live in Gehenna. There'll be greater multitudes down with him than up with Him.<BR/><BR/><I>I find some consolation in the knowledge that there is also a hell.</I><BR/><BR/>I see your point in that, but still, tread lightly, Will, lest you become self-congratulatory in your knowledge that you're certain of your salvation and heaven-bound. It's why I cringe when I hear "holy in their own eyes" folk talk about some insidious crime having occurred claim the perpetrator will "burn in hell" for their crime(s) and yet they themselves are obviously lost and don't know Christ. Many folk erroneously believe, for whatever wacky reason, that such things as murder, child molestation, and the like, are the only sinful deeds deemed (on a whim I would guess because it's not scriptual) the "hellish" sins, the "unforgivable" or "unpardonable" sins, the only sins for which one will "burn in hell" for. It's truly sad to see how "righteous in their own eyes" many folk perceive themselves to be. "Hey, I never killed anyone! I don't molest children! See, I'm NOT evil!," they'll exclaim, often profanely if they get riled. Sigh...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, here's a thought, Will, to chew on. Somebody could personify Hitler in every way and deed and yet, if they accept Christ and repent before their inevitable death at the hands of men (the temporal consequence), be heaven-bound while the man next door who "merely" curses every now and again, <I>thinks</I> about cheating on his wife, or "merely" does it, every now and again, and other "mundane" sins, but who doesn't know Christ when he draws his last breath is hell-bound. After all, who knows, Bush Jr., Cheney, or even Manson (he's still breathing in this life after all) may end up heaven-bound when it's all said and done. Only time will tell.<BR/><BR/>Eeewwwww! "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!" as Kinison would likely scream. Oh my, that's a helluva hard bone to chew on, ain't it? ;)dixiedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845646940134894119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-80391027002440195292008-03-20T08:36:00.000-06:002008-03-20T08:36:00.000-06:00The term merchants of death is appropiate for them...The term merchants of death is appropiate for them.<BR/>They are diabolical to the core.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
