I am writing this right now both out of disgust and anger at those around me that so easily throw away everything our forefathers fought and died for, for the sake of what is poorly portrayed as security. Many individuals do not realize that their cry of Patriotism is as twisted as their concepts of Christianity.
The same people that claim to be Patriots, are the same people that say, Oh!, I don't mind if they take our rights away as long as I am protected from the big bad terrorist in the world.
Wake up, people, you have handed a centralized government the right to rule over you as Kings rather than elected officials that are supposed to be for the people and by the people. You have elected to have nothing more than Communism- Totalitarism in it's purest forms, and then dare call "us" who object "non-Patriots".
Get real, get some common sense and get an education in the history of this country and the reasons it came into existence anyway. Most people will not be able to quote to you even one Amendment of the Bill of Rights. These rights have been so eroded away that the average Joe in America thinks to allow anyone the right to erode these rights away and those that are for all these crazy laws they keep passing that imprison your freedoms, is somehow a Patriot and it makes them patriotic to go with the status quo..
Where is your mind? Your brain that God gave you to think with must be buried in the sand.
So, for the sake of recall, I am reprinting the Bill of Rights below in hope that some may re-examine their thinking that has been so perversely distorted by the Communist who have taken over in Washington, that they may see the truth and realize, "that what was, is no more".
The average American and especially those of both the Republican and Democratic parties have been blinded to the truth.
If anyone can show me, where these rights have not been subverted, twisted, and totally destroyed especially in the last 30 years, I would like to hear it or read about it. There is a place to comment at the end of everything I write, but as usual most do not, because they really don't know what to say, to truth. How do you answer, the statements so I often write about that are of the truth? Most can't answer because they don't really know or they are apathetic. That's how we got in the condition we are now, is because of the silence of those who knew the truth but feared to speak out about the many subjects I write about. Whether it be the condition of the organizational church, or fasle doctrines and practices of the church, or politics or foreign policy, most prefer to be apathetic, thus many people avoid reading even what I write about. It might blow a brain vessel if they tried to think for themselves once, instead of just acepting everything they are told to beleive. It's easier to be lazy and apathetic about truth then to make a stand for something.
I use to have a friend say, "if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything". That is the state of the average American. They have fallen for anything.
Here is the "what was, but no longer is".
THE TRUE PATRIOTS- PATRIOT ACT - The Bill of Rights.
-------------------------------------------------------
THE BILL OF RIGHTS
Amendments 1-10 of the Constitution
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Conventions of a number of the States having, at the time of adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added, and as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution;
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, that the following articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as amendments to the Constitution of the United States; all or any of which articles, when ratified by three-fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the said Constitution, namely:

Amendment X

Note the highlighted areas- these are gone forever, because you have allowed lying polticians and money hungry greed mongers, war mongers and others to lie their way into your pocketbook and into your homes and into your privacy. For what- the same lies that every ruler since the beginning of time has done so- so that you might be safe from all these dangers is the same lies they all used to gain power over others in whatever kingdom in history.
Is it appropriate for us who live under the burden of income taxes and more taxes, and more oppression to send out others to die for the elitist agenda? I say not!
If you can't see what has happened to this country with the slow but definite takeover of Communist elitist, then you truly have been blinded by their rhetoric, and lies they tell. Wake up for God's sake before they are at your door.
We are to pray for peace, so that we can live in peace and propagate the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Yet, thousands are fooled by false prophets, false teachers, and false Christ, to pray for war, and hatred, and power over others. Hagee, the preacher and his group being some of the worst liars and war mongers there are!
God forgive us, we are a lost nation and have become as Israel- idolaters and adulterers with the gods of paganism as the center of our worship. Sacrificing our children to the god Molech. We like the nation of Israel have so far twisted the rights of people and God into something that no man can recognize the difference between their religion and Christianity. We have become as fools.
We must ask what happened to this country, what happened to the Gospel of Peace?
Perhaps you have forgotten the words of Jesus, "those who live by the sword shall die by the sword". Our time is not far from us, when all the hatred we have dispelled toward all other nations for the sake of a lost Anti-Christ nation (the illegal nation of Israel) will soon bite us in our proverbial butts.
We are to fear God, not men.
We are to seek God and not land.
We are to love others, not ourselves.
Fear is the driving force to get you to hand over your God given rights to TRUE Freedom. Using fear of the sword or fear of a foreign sword, you have deliverd up to them who wish to rule over you, the power to do so, and so we are in the condition we find ourselves now, and in the worsening condition we will soon find ourselves in.
Repent now! See the truth and wake up to the truth. Let their be a nation of people, that cry out - "no more, we aren't listening to the lies anymore, restore to us, what our forefathers died for, and restore to us what our Lord gave us, the right to individual freedom, to worship, to speak, to publish, to pursue life, liberty and happiness with responsibility". Restore to us our rights to privacy, to be secure in our belongings, secure in our very life by a government that is for the people, and by the people and not for itself. A life lived in moral responsibility to the love of Christ who compels us to love all men.
Bye, Bye American Pie- was a truly prophetic song.
The Bill of Rights - Where Did They Go?
We gave them up to those that would power over us and rule us, and take all that we and our families have worked for. We have handed them the things that the early leaders of this nation fought to release us from when England and King George ruled us. We turned around and spat in their faces and put in place a new King George and a oppressive rule.
God help America, the poor of this nation, the believer in the true and living Christ, the oppressed, and those that know and see the truth and wish to speak it. It's not too popular to say these things anymore, matter of fact to stand for the Bill of Rights and Freedom - has somehow become UNPATRIOTIC??
We call black - white, right- wrong, and oppression- freedom.
Welcome to the land of the FREE DUMB.
You have been dumbed down by political lies and church lies to the point you don't even realize it. The Bible said in the last days, that we will be blinded to the truth, and decieved. It is here and it has happened. It is too late to crawl out of the grave hole they forced you to dig yourself, there is only a short time before they will lay you in it. We have turned from truths to lies, to only be made to believe the lie is the truth. Washington leaders and many church leaders have used the same sort of semantical exercises Bill Clinton played on the American people and every cult known to mankind has used since the days of early Christianity.
The twisting of the real meaning of words. What you call freedom, our forefathers would call oppression, what you call Christianity, the Apostles would call Heresy. There is always time for repentance and change.
"My people perish for their lack of knowledge".
That is where the Bill of Rights have gone.
It perished because of the lack of knowledge!
We have no one to blame but ourselves, for we must always remember, a government is only as good as it's people, and is only good when it is run by all good people for the benefit of all people.

Liberty and Justice for All! - Red Skelton Speaks
Some of you may remember him but he passed away before many of you were born. Red Skelton was a good & funny man. He also ended every show by saying, 'GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS'. Listen to the end of this. It is something he said 38 years ago.
http://patriotfiles.org/Pledge.htm
Click on the link and be sure to turn on your sound!
RED SKELTON-HOW DID HE KNOW??????
Take a moment and listen to it (from 1969). How would he have known that this is what is happening?
FOR THE FEW WHO DON'T KNOW:
Red Skelton was a movie star and comedian on television back in the 1950s. He created a number of characters, and his show was watched by millions. He did this on his show one evening--back when shows were live .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's too bad, that most of what is said in the pledge is no longer true in this country, why fake it, or pretend, what is explained here use to be true for us but no longer is, it has become just the opposite, not because of Democrats alone, not because of Republicans alone, but the fact that most Americans don't even recall what this great country once stood for. A government run by the people, blessed by God only because they practiced, liberty and justice FOR ALL!. We have forgotten, what true liberty is, we have given in to the elitist, the globalist, the aggressors world wide, and have become everything we said we hated about other countries who oppress the poor, who kill and maim others, who torture people, who lie, who practice deception to gain only what resources that aren't theirs, that there is no unity, because there are a few like myself, who remember those words as a child and understood them, and I have battled since, to wake up Americans, who have become blinded by rhetoric and deception by the media, by their leaders and most of all their hate.
We can not say "Under God" anymore, because truth be told- we are not under God, but under those who think of themselves as gods.
The truth be told, Jesus never cried war or bloodshed but was the Prince of Peace. So let us not argue about the words "under God" until we as a nation once again, lay down our hatreds, our arms and our lies, to return to Jesus who said, Love thy enemies, do good to those who spitefully use you" who hate you.
We cannot pledge to a flag, less we undertand the principles our forefathers fought for, privacy, liberty, individual rights, we need a review of the Bill of Rights. These words that have been so skillfully swept away by the elitist of Washington, the leaders who care nothing about this country but only about their on going greed and enrichment. Let us review what a real pledge is, to stand behind something whole heartedly, without wavering. Here is the Bill of Rights, just in case you have forgotten, as our leaders pretend to offer you security in exchange for LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. You have become unworthy of the liberties our forefathers fought for, as you would give all your liberties away for a sense of false security.
Ask yourself do these really apply anymore? Do you really believe in these words?Perhaps the politicians so twisted your minds that you would exchange your liberties for security. Hitler, Stalin and all the dictators of all times, told these very same lies, that are now coming out of Washington.
In light of these things, I can no longer pledge allegiance to a nation gone mad and that has left God lying in the dust somewhere. Perhaps it would pay for many Americans to dust off their Bibles, they rarely read, to read, Matthew 6 and 7, and then to read the Bill of Rights, as fought for by one of the great leaders of early America, Patrick Henry, who fought for 5 years to add these words to our Constitution, that we might be truly great, a man that it cost him his life, and those of his loved ones, a man who understood what the pledge of allegiance was suppose to mean. A man who understood the God given right to be left alone by the State yet governed by highter moral principles of truth, liberty and justice for all.
We have forgotten, so the flag no longer represents what once was great about this country. To say the pledge, and to live and breathe words toward others that are no longer true- is hypocrisy to its fullest.
Help restore America,this fourth of July, help it return to truth, quit listening to those that suppose themselves to be gods, who would enjoy nothing more than you to be enslaved to them, oppressed to work for them, to enrich them, without the slightest regard for our country, our flag and most of all our freedom.
Go ahead, I dare you to read below, and show me an example where these have not been taken from us, for the sake of security. Perhaps these words might ring a bell in someone's mind, what freedom is all about. Please then read on to read the Bill of Rights.
Some quotes by those who understood the concept of freedom.
Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.
- Benjamin Franklin
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what
to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb
contesting the vote! - Benjamin Franklin
A patriot must always be ready to defend his
country against his government.
- Edward Abbey (1927-1989)
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you
do not wait until he has struck before you crush
him. - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of
human freedom It is the argument of tyrants; it is
the creed of slaves. - William Pitt (1759-1806)
America will never be destroyed from the outside.
If we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
--Abraham Lincoln
The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest. --President Thomas Jefferson

Jesus the Revolutionary
I recently completed a book, that I have known about sometime, and also I have known of the author because of my activity in house "church" for sometime. The book is entitled "Pagan Christianity" by Frank Viola. Frank is a fine Christian man who has an online and offline ministry called "Present Testimony Ministry". He is a high school Psychology teacher and Philosophy teacher part-time. He is known as a "church planter" or what may have been called in times past, an Apostle. Though he would never accept any title. He loves Jesus above all things. His books are very well written with a tremendous bibliography of his resources of material he quotes. In his above mentioned book he lays out the history of our modern church practices. Much of that which I have already become familiar with in my personal research and study as well. His book becomes the second witness testimony for many of us that have so been enlightened by the Lord to see and understand the "traditions of men" over God's commandments (his Word). His book is a refreshing reminder to us who see what man has done to the Ekklesia and what Jesus intended to rid us from so that man may have a relationship with God and others.
I would like to quote from a portion of his last chapter in the book. Then I will expound some on it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Christianity is to receive a rejuvenation it must be by other means than any now being used. If the church in the second half of this century is to recover from the injuries she suffered in the first half, there must appear a new type of preacher. The proper, ruler-of-the-synagogue type will never do. Neither will the priestly type of man who carries out his duties, takes his pay and asks no questions, nor the smooth-talking pastoral type who knows how to make the Christian religion acceptable to everyone. All these have been tried and found wanting. Another kind of religious leader must arise among us. He must be of the old prophet type, a man who has seen visions of God and has heard a voice from the Throne. When he comes (and I pray God there will not be one but many) he will stand in flat contradiction to everything our smirking, smooth civilization holds dear. He will contradict, denounce and protest in the name of God and will earn the hatred and opposition of a large segment of Christendom.
A.W. Tozer
Frank writes:
"Jesus Christ is not only the Savior, the Messiah, the Prophet, the Priest, and the King. He is also the Revolutionary. Yet, few Christians know Him as such; unfortunately, I know this from experience. For several years now I’ve been working with house churches, writing, and speaking about radical church deconstruction and renewal. In many places I go, people ask me: "Why do you have to be so negative about the modern church, Frank!? Jesus is not a critical person. It is so unlike our Lord to talk about what is wrong with the church. Let us focus on the positive and ignore the negative!"
Such high volume sentiments express complete unfamiliarity with Christ as revolutionary teacher; radical prophet; provocative preacher; controversialist; iconoclast; and the implacable opponent of the religious establishment.
Granted, our Lord is not critical or harsh with His own. He is full of mercy and kindness, and He loves His people passionately. However, this is precisely why He is jealous over His Bride. And it is why He will not compromise with the unbreakable traditions to which His people have been held captive. Nor will He ignore our fanatical devotion to them.
Consider our Lord’s conduct while on earth.
Jesus was never a rabble-rouser nor a ranting rebel, yet He constantly defied the traditions of the scribes and Pharisees. He did not do so by accident, but with great deliberation. The Pharisees were those who, for the sake of the "truth" they saw, tried to extinguish the truth they could not see. This explains why there was always a blizzard of controversy between the "tradition of the elders" and the acts of Jesus.
Someone once said that "a rebel attempts to change the past; a revolutionary attempts to change the future." Jesus Christ brought drastic change to the world. Change to humanity’s view of God. Change to God’s view of humankind. Change to men’s view of women. Our Lord came to bring radical change to the old order of things, replacing it with a new order. He came to bring forth a new covenant—a new kingdom—a new birth—a new race—a new species—a new culture—and a new civilization.
As you read through the Gospels, behold your Lord, the Revolutionary. Watch Him throw the Pharisees into a panic by intentionally flaunting their conventions. Numerous times Jesus healed on the Sabbath day, flatly breaking their cherished tradition. If the Lord wanted to placate His enemies, He could have waited until Sunday or Monday to heal some of these people. Instead, He deliberately healed on the Sabbath, knowing full well it would make His opponents livid.
This pattern runs pretty deep. In one instance, Jesus healed a blind man by mixing clay with spittle and putting it in the man’s eyes. Such an act was in direct defiance to the Jewish ordinance that prohibited healing on the Sabbath by mixing mud with spittle! Yet your Lord intentionally shattered this tradition publicly and with absolute resolve. Watch Him eat food with unwashed hands under the judgmental gaze of the Pharisees, again intentionally defying their fossilized tradition.
In Jesus, we have a Man who refused to bow to the pressures of religious conformity. A Man who preached a revolution. A Man who would not tolerate hypocrisy. A Man who was not afraid to provoke those who suppressed the liberating gospel He brought to set men free. A Man who did not mind evoking anger in His enemies, causing them to gird their thighs for battle.
What is my point? It is this: Jesus Christ came not only as Messiah, the Anointed One of God to deliver His people from the bondage of the fall…
He came not only as Savior, paying a debt He did not owe to wash away humanity’s war, hatred, and ingrained sin…
He came not only as Prophet, comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable…
He came not only as Priest, representing man before God and representing God before man…
He came not only as King, triumphant over all authorities, principalities, and powers...
He also came as Revolutionary, tearing apart the old wineskin with a view to bringing in the new.
Behold your Lord, the Revolutionary!
For many Christians, this is a new look at Jesus Christ. Therefore, to reveal the weaknesses of the church in modernity so that Christ’s Body can fulfill God’s ultimate intention is simply an expression of our Lord’s revolutionary nature. The dominating aim of that nature is to put you and me at the center of the beating heart of God. To put you and me in the core of His eternal purpose—a purpose for which everything was created.
What is needed, then, is a revolution within the Christian faith. Renewal movements will not do it. Revivals will not cut it. Both have been plentiful for the past 50 years. (I might add that they are repackaged every five years.) Renewal movements and revivals have never been potent enough to break the immense inertia of religious tradition.
Renewing and inventing new forms for church is like changing clothes on a mannequin. Doing so will never give it life no matter how avant-garde the garb is. No, the axe must be laid to the root of the problem and a revolution ignited!
What is needed is a complete upheaval of our current Christian practices. All traditions that find no soil in Scripture must be forever abandoned. We must begin anew . . . from ground zero. Anything less will prove defective.
If you are a disciple of the Revolutionary from Nazareth . . .the Radical Messiah who lays His axe to the root . . .you will eventually evoke a specific question. It is the same question that was asked our Lord’s disciples while He walked this earth. That question is: "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders?"
>>END<<
A true radical must be a man of roots. In words that I have used elsewhere, "The revolutionary can be an ‘outsider’ to the structure he would see collapse: indeed, he must set himself outside of it. But the radical goes to the roots of his own tradition. He must love it: he must weep over Jerusalem, even if he has to pronounce its doom."

My added comments.
Most Christians do not understand how far Jesus stuck truth right into the faces of the self righteous and the religious of his day. Most Christians do not understand that Jewish practices and belief of His day and even today, were not even close to the Torah, or the Old Testament, for the Jews in hundreds of years developed their traditions of men as opposed to scripture. These became known as the Talmud, a full transcription of the Mishna and the Gemara. These were simply men's attempt to redefine God's law, by creating fence laws around fence laws and then their own interpretation of these. For example in Jesus time, to understand why he would heal a man's blindness as He did, one must read what their law said. Shabbat 108:20 reads thus : "To heal a blind man on the Sabbath, it his prohibited to inject wine in his eyes. It is also prohibited to make mud with spittle and smear it on his eyes.
Jesus didnt just randomly do this miracle in the way that He did, he did it with purpose in mind, to not just break their laws of tradition, but to show that He is the lawgiver and the judge, the Savouir and the King of all things created. The Jews had no doubt of His Messiahship because of many other things they had written to recognize who the Messiah was when He would come, Jesus did these things as well that proved He alone was who He claimed to be. There is no doubt in my mind or the minds of those that understand Judaism of that time and today, that they (the religious leaders of that day)knew He was the Messiah and crucified Him anyway. Their traditions, their positions of power and recognition, their religion held far greater importance than man's relationship to God. I want to provide one more example of Jesus flaunting their religiousity in their faces, and it may have been one of the many laws He broke which sealed his fate with these law makers of traditions of men. It wasn't long before they conspired to kill Him. Yes, the Bible uses the word conspired. For those of you who don't believe men conspire to commit evil.
Read this, According to the Mishna, " One should be willing to walk four miles to water in order to wash your hands rather than eat with unwashed hands. (Sotah 4b).
When Jesus didn't wash his hands before eating, in the eyes of the Pharisees, this made Him and the disciples equal to being a murderer!
(Challah, J, 58:3) HE WHO NEGLECTS HAND WASHING IS AS HE WHO IS A MURDERER."!That's right Jesus was a lawbreaker, a revolutionary. The revolutionary of all times!
For our Lord, spit right smack into the face of the legalist, the religious and their followers constantly.
Jesus, the essence of the Creator, the living Word, spoke for men for all time. Relationship with God is more important then all the garbage men can devise and all the traditions he can create. For their is one Law Giver, One Lord, One Judge, and One SAVIOUR and KING. Meet Jesus Christ - the greatest revolutionary who ever lived and ever will -forever. For it is no surprise when men trapped in the bondages of religion get free, they proclaim loudly my Lord and my God!
For Jesus came to set us absolutely free from the bonds and ties of religion to have relationship once again with God our Father, and with men and women and children as our brothers, and sisters with Him.
If ever a movie should be made, about Jesus again, it should be entitled. FREEDOM!
For there is no other name, under heaven or earth to which men can find true freedom then that which is in Jesus Christ- Saviour of the World.
The Revolutionary Extradonaire!
Are you a part to His marching army of the redeemed. You can be! YOu can join the revolution. All people are welcomed from every area of life. There is none that he won't accept. Religion may not want you. Jesus does. If he can take a prostitute, a tax collector, fisherman and more and turn them into His own, He can take anyone of any circumstance in this life, and make you a child of the King! A revolutionary.
You can see Jesus for the first time in your life, not common church folk, but one who opposed religion all the way to the cross. He came to set us FREE! Will you join me and hundreds that have come to know Him as such. He is right at the door of your heart knocking, and offering to come inside to eat with you and you with Him. Don't worry about the house being clean, the dishes done, the hands washed. Jesus eats with those with unwashed hands, for His presence makes everything clean. Jesus the Revolutionary is here amongst us. He is alive. He is alive in the hearts of those that know him beyond all the religious trappings and trim. He is drafting knew individuals daily to join him in a meal, with unwashed hands. For his very presence makes anyone and everything clean that comes in contact with Him. Come join the Revolution and see what God can do, and man in all his contrivances od traditions and rudiments and laws could never do. That is to set you free to live a life with Him for eternity. Eternal life begins now, not after you die. Real life, real freedom from this world. You have to first join the "Revolution". I joined, and have never regretted it since. I can ask for no greater leader, no greater mentor, no greater love then Him.

I would like to quote from a portion of his last chapter in the book. Then I will expound some on it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Christianity is to receive a rejuvenation it must be by other means than any now being used. If the church in the second half of this century is to recover from the injuries she suffered in the first half, there must appear a new type of preacher. The proper, ruler-of-the-synagogue type will never do. Neither will the priestly type of man who carries out his duties, takes his pay and asks no questions, nor the smooth-talking pastoral type who knows how to make the Christian religion acceptable to everyone. All these have been tried and found wanting. Another kind of religious leader must arise among us. He must be of the old prophet type, a man who has seen visions of God and has heard a voice from the Throne. When he comes (and I pray God there will not be one but many) he will stand in flat contradiction to everything our smirking, smooth civilization holds dear. He will contradict, denounce and protest in the name of God and will earn the hatred and opposition of a large segment of Christendom.

Frank writes:
"Jesus Christ is not only the Savior, the Messiah, the Prophet, the Priest, and the King. He is also the Revolutionary. Yet, few Christians know Him as such; unfortunately, I know this from experience. For several years now I’ve been working with house churches, writing, and speaking about radical church deconstruction and renewal. In many places I go, people ask me: "Why do you have to be so negative about the modern church, Frank!? Jesus is not a critical person. It is so unlike our Lord to talk about what is wrong with the church. Let us focus on the positive and ignore the negative!"
Such high volume sentiments express complete unfamiliarity with Christ as revolutionary teacher; radical prophet; provocative preacher; controversialist; iconoclast; and the implacable opponent of the religious establishment.
Granted, our Lord is not critical or harsh with His own. He is full of mercy and kindness, and He loves His people passionately. However, this is precisely why He is jealous over His Bride. And it is why He will not compromise with the unbreakable traditions to which His people have been held captive. Nor will He ignore our fanatical devotion to them.
Consider our Lord’s conduct while on earth.
Jesus was never a rabble-rouser nor a ranting rebel, yet He constantly defied the traditions of the scribes and Pharisees. He did not do so by accident, but with great deliberation. The Pharisees were those who, for the sake of the "truth" they saw, tried to extinguish the truth they could not see. This explains why there was always a blizzard of controversy between the "tradition of the elders" and the acts of Jesus.
Someone once said that "a rebel attempts to change the past; a revolutionary attempts to change the future." Jesus Christ brought drastic change to the world. Change to humanity’s view of God. Change to God’s view of humankind. Change to men’s view of women. Our Lord came to bring radical change to the old order of things, replacing it with a new order. He came to bring forth a new covenant—a new kingdom—a new birth—a new race—a new species—a new culture—and a new civilization.

The Ongoing Battle For Sanity
I am writing this today for a specific reason. There are a few Americans that realize what is really taking place in this country. One of those few Americans years ago, a Los Angelese Police Detective, named Mike Ruppert, faced the ugly fact that drugs were being brought into this country and overlooked by our government. This transpired as a girlfriend of his, who worked for the CIA, asked him to assist the government by overlooking the drugs, to assist in the battle against terrorist, etc. Mike couldn't do it, he stood his ground as an upright moral individual, who had taken an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, which it seems many of today's political leaders have forgotten, or at least that part which contains the Bill of Rights.
Mike was ruined purposely and ran out of the LA Police department when he attempted to do what was right. Report it and stop it. For years Mike has been reporting things as he sees them, and the truth about 911, the Oil Cartels, the real drug lords and more. Sadly, he has been harrased and finally had his offices burglarized. Mike ran a web site called "From the Wilderness" Over the lsat several years he had to deal with people planted in his office on more than one occassion to try to discredit him, even try to set him up with sexual harrasment. He was smart, and got them instead however, his fight to change things from within the system, came to an end. He gave up his favorite office, his country and his ability to try to get people to think for themselves. He tried for years to get people to wake up to what was really going on in the U.S. government, instead of living in the world of smoke and mirrors that we have become accustomed to.
Mike left the United States, in fear of his own life being threatened, in that time he became seriously ill and is now in a hospital in Canada. He has been left broke, and in debt. Some even suggest he may have been poisoned. The symptoms are there. He gave into the pressure exerted as it is on all great people in this country that ever tried to tell the truth or change the evil for good, or bring light where there was darkness. He has lost the battle, like so many have, Martin Luther King Jr., John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and many more, who saw what was happening to America and wanted to warn us, and change it.
Though yet, alive, his dream is dead, and he is left in pain and agony lying in a hospital and now trying to pay off debts to his readers and creditors.
The New World Order is here to stay, there is no use any longer to go on trying to tell people the facts. When your own life is threatened and your own government is possibly behind the harrasment, to silence you. You throw in the towel and say OK, I give. I have thought often over the last year of quitting and saying what is the use of trying to talk to anyone about what is really going on. I really have got to that point. People will not listen, as long as they can buy a new car, have a new TV set or buy a new home. Babylon is born! They have already accepted the "mark of the beast". They have accepted the great delusion God said he would send.
The present state of affairs in America is far from what I ever believed it would become. We have now turned to pushing the rest of the world around in the name of anti-terrorism, killing people where ever we think it is necessary and justifying it even in the American churches. Christian Nationalism has destroyed what was left of the Gospel of Christ. There is no Muslim or Buddhist, or other religion that will hear our new gospel, because it sounds too much like theirs - "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", dying for your cause, guarantees entry into heaven now.
We without a doubt have allowed this new fascism of superiority over all governments, people and religions to become a reality. We have done most of this for the sake of oil, it is truly the black death, for whoever has it will find itself in a war to keep it. We have done it for the sake of a false gospel that protects a government in Israel that kills and persecutes even it's own, and Christian Palestinians as well.
The American corporation has provided death to American manufacturing and farming owned by individuals and opted for Corporate ownership and dictatorship. We have dealt death to the American inspired to live the American dream, of a small but successful business to feed his family. We have created a world in which the government and the corporation are bed partners, locked into each other's arms like a whore and her client.
If you don't believe that, then let's look at a statement as recorded by Mikes' notes on his leaving the U.S.
"One thing is certain about fascism and that is that its behavior and evolution are remarkably predictable. Five years ago I helped bring into world consciousness a forgotten quote from Benito Mussolini wherein he said that, “Fascism ought to more properly be called corporatism since it is the merger of state and corporate power.” Nothing better describes the state of the world today. The U.S. is a nation of the corporation, by the corporation, and for the corporation. As such it has placed something different from and opposed to the welfare of human beings on the compass as its “true North”.
"Fascism always becomes more vicious as it evolves. It never retreats, and as with drug addiction, larger and larger doses of oppression and violence are always required to sustain its inevitable path towards self-destruction."
end quote
We are on a drive of American hegonomy across the world, this drive as Rome's greed for power over all other nations will destroy us.
We are a nation bent on self destruction right now. We have listened too long to those whose sole purpose in life is to make a dollar regardless of who suffers in the quest of it. The love of money is truly the root of all evil. America is in love with the dollar and itself - and soon very soon, I see a fall coming. Just as Rome stood thinking it was established by the gods and could not fail, American people have become puffed up with pride and bloodshed in their hearts and think that becuse they call themself Christians and support the apartheid government of Israel (who are not true Jews) they will not fall.
I have tried on many occassions to talk to friends and family about these things, but they are blind, and truth is not what they want to hear. What they want to hear is how we will rule the world, and make everything safe, and we will have our homes, our cars, and television sets without fear of threat from without. They have forgotten, every great nation has fallen from within. The new Rome - America, is about to face the same consequences, when it does, I will not say, "I told you so".
I have wasted my breath to often and like Mike, I really feel like I have wasted my time to speak. Jesus put it best, when he said, "Let the blind lead the blind".
There once was hope, but with all the recent advent of the destruction of human rights, privacy rights, the cry to torture other humans to protect ourselves. I hear only the words of Adolph Hitler, who too thought that his race the Arayan was supreme.
We in America have come to believe that our way of life is supreme, that our religion is supreme, that our materialism is supreme, that our drug addiction is supreme, our aborted babies is supreme, our hatred for other races, other countries is supreme. We have lost the very backbone of Christianity- Keep my commandments- Love one another as I have loved you. Jesus was not saying just love those that fit into your group, your ideals, your race, your country, your church, your community, but to love all mankind as he did. He gave his life, that the world might be saved. He too was silenced by the majority, for the words he spoke were life.
America use to appreciate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness equally for all men and not just for Americans. We have strayed far from that path these days- it is a path that will result in our destruction. I assure you, history repeats itself. I quote once again from one of our Presidents who realized this, Abraham Lincoln- who too was silenced. Thus the ongoing battle for sanity remains. I write, in hope to bring light to people who have somehow learned to love darkness rather than light.
America will never be destroyed from the outside.
If we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
--Abraham Lincoln

We have done it for the sake of a false gospel that protects a government in Israel that kills and persecutes even it's own, and Christian Palestinians as well.
The American corporation has provided death to American manufacturing and farming owned by individuals and opted for Corporate ownership and dictatorship. We have dealt death to the American inspired to live the American dream, of a small but successful business to feed his family. We have created a world in which the government and the corporation are bed partners, locked into each other's arms like a whore and her client.
If you don't believe that, then let's look at a statement as recorded by Mikes' notes on his leaving the U.S.
"One thing is certain about fascism and that is that its behavior and evolution are remarkably predictable. Five years ago I helped bring into world consciousness a forgotten quote from Benito Mussolini wherein he said that, “Fascism ought to more properly be called corporatism since it is the merger of state and corporate power.” Nothing better describes the state of the world today. The U.S. is a nation of the corporation, by the corporation, and for the corporation. As such it has placed something different from and opposed to the welfare of human beings on the compass as its “true North”.
"Fascism always becomes more vicious as it evolves. It never retreats, and as with drug addiction, larger and larger doses of oppression and violence are always required to sustain its inevitable path towards self-destruction."
end quote
We are on a drive of American hegonomy across the world, this drive as Rome's greed for power over all other nations will destroy us.
We are a nation bent on self destruction right now. We have listened too long to those whose sole purpose in life is to make a dollar regardless of who suffers in the quest of it. The love of money is truly the root of all evil. America is in love with the dollar and itself - and soon very soon, I see a fall coming. Just as Rome stood thinking it was established by the gods and could not fail, American people have become puffed up with pride and bloodshed in their hearts and think that becuse they call themself Christians and support the apartheid government of Israel (who are not true Jews) they will not fall.
I have tried on many occassions to talk to friends and family about these things, but they are blind, and truth is not what they want to hear. What they want to hear is how we will rule the world, and make everything safe, and we will have our homes, our cars, and television sets without fear of threat from without. They have forgotten, every great nation has fallen from within. The new Rome - America, is about to face the same consequences, when it does, I will not say, "I told you so".
I have wasted my breath to often and like Mike, I really feel like I have wasted my time to speak. Jesus put it best, when he said, "Let the blind lead the blind".
There once was hope, but with all the recent advent of the destruction of human rights, privacy rights, the cry to torture other humans to protect ourselves. I hear only the words of Adolph Hitler, who too thought that his race the Arayan was supreme.
We in America have come to believe that our way of life is supreme, that our religion is supreme, that our materialism is supreme, that our drug addiction is supreme, our aborted babies is supreme, our hatred for other races, other countries is supreme. We have lost the very backbone of Christianity- Keep my commandments- Love one another as I have loved you. Jesus was not saying just love those that fit into your group, your ideals, your race, your country, your church, your community, but to love all mankind as he did. He gave his life, that the world might be saved. He too was silenced by the majority, for the words he spoke were life.
America use to appreciate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness equally for all men and not just for Americans. We have strayed far from that path these days- it is a path that will result in our destruction. I assure you, history repeats itself. I quote once again from one of our Presidents who realized this, Abraham Lincoln- who too was silenced. Thus the ongoing battle for sanity remains. I write, in hope to bring light to people who have somehow learned to love darkness rather than light.
America will never be destroyed from the outside.
If we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
--Abraham Lincoln
