Research Before You Speak

Most any of you who know me must know by now that I don't have any affiliation with any political party. Having said that,I had thought that I had found a group of Libertarians and Constitutionalists that I could agree with, that by all appearances, they seemed to be awake to the things that I have seen and have believed, only to find out that many of them are almost as ignorant of history and the facts as many people in the major parties. I read a comment by someone yesterday, from this group, that was trying to suggest that the Jews in Israel had only been there since the end of WW2 and that the true "Semites" were actually the so called Palestinians ,and that the current financial mess in the world has been caused by Jewish bankers, following the book "Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion." This is pure ignorance. With all this technology and information at your fingertips, how could anyone actually believe any of it. Then I thought about it. The problem isn't with the information being out there, the problem is that most people would rather have their information via sound bites ,from the Main Stream Media, and most of that, when it speaks of Israel and the Jewish people, is mostly anti Jewish. So I thought I might try something different and use what is known as "historically accurate facts" to paint the proper picture. You may feel free to disagree with me if you wish, but at least take the time to research it yourself before doing so. The first round of lies is that the Jews are European in origin and that they have only been in Israel for the past 60 years. Even disregarding the Bible, as an accurate historical record, there is plenty of historical documentation from the Greeks and Romans to show that they have been in Israel for at least that long. I have been doing research for a book I am considering writing, on one of the Messianic figures of the Jewish people, that led to the destruction of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. Most of my information comes from Roman historians. I went back and looked at a blog that I wrote last year in which I included all of the history of Israel, in abbreviated form, from the times before the Romans all the way to the Brits. There has always been Jewish people in Israel, it is simply a historical fact. The word Semite, to be used properly , according to Websters dictionary anyhow, is a reference to many differing peoples of the middle east to include both Jews and Arabs. It doesn't actually belong to one group or nation. So in effect if you are anti Semitic, you hate pretty much anyone of middle eastern descent, Arab and Jew alike. So to suggest that the so called Palestinians are the Semitic people is only partially accurate and only in the fact that they are Arabs. So then if they are Arabs then who might the real Palestinians be? The real Palestinians are in fact the Jewish people, again go back to history. The Romans named the area Palestine and that area was populated by Jews. An Arab, prior to the terrorist Yassar Arafat and the 1967 war, would have considered it an insult to be called a Palestinian. It wasn't until after the 1967 war, after the Arabs in Israel and been shut out of their home countries, by their own Arab brothers, that they adopted the term Palestinian. These are the facts, look them up. One other note. I have seen time and time again, where Israel is called an Apartheid state, by the media and some really ignorant people. If you believe that to be true, go and ask some of Israels Arab citizens , particularly some of the Arab women, how much opportunity that they have in Israel. Any where else but Israel and they would be slaves to their husbands and wouldn't be able to do anything. I might point out as well that these people live side by side with Jews and they have no problems. Arabs are welcome in Israel, but if Hamas and others have their way Jews will not be welcome in their territories, so who is actually promoting Apartheid? Concerning the book The Protocols Of The Elders of Zion I refer to both the London Times article of 1921 debunking it and an article written in 2000 by Charles Paul Freund in the Feb. edition of Reason.com. "The last mystery surrounding the infamous anti-Semitic pamphlet Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion--the identity of the 1904 hoax's author--finally has been solved. According to the Russian historian Mikhail Lepekhine, the Protocols were concocted by a Russian propagandist named Mathieu Golovinski as part of a monarchist scheme to persuade Czar Nicholas II that the capitalist modernization of Russia was really a Jewish plot to control the world. Golovinski's handiwork--24 subversive "protocols" that purport to be the minutes of a secret "Zionist" conclave--was to become a bulwark of anti-Semitic paranoia and an essential text of Nazism. The Protocols remain dear to credulous paranoids throughout the world. Historian Lepekhine discovered Golovinski's authorship in Russia's long-closed archives and published his findings last November in the French newsweekly L'Express. Golovinski had been linked to the work before: The German writer Konrad Heiden identified him as an author of the Protocols in 1944. The Protocols have been known to be a forgery since 1921, when The Times of London revealed that they had been largely copied from an 1864 political tract by a Frenchman, Maurice Joly. That work was a commentary on French politics and had nothing to do with Jews. Golovinski, working with such mystical anti-modernizers as the Holy Brotherhood, combined Joly's fantasy elements of world domination with earlier anti-Jewish and anti-Masonic material to produce "evidence" of an overarching Jewish-Masonic plot. Late-Imperial Russia was awash in documentary forgeries, domestic spying, and counterspying, with revolutionaries and the Czarist secret police often involved in complex duplicities. Golovinski himself changed sides after the 1917 revolution, becoming a Bolshevik propagandist." The bottom line is this, the Jewish people are not whats wrong with the world. Is their government perfect? No. No more then ours is and thats why we are attempting to fire the whole lot of them last I knew. The fact of the matter is that it is selfishness and greed on the parts of the elites, all over the world ,at the cost of all the rest of us, is the problem and as long as we are focused on the wrong people we will never be able to change anything. The below verse says much as to how I see things and how I will continue to see things, if that means I have no political party and I am hated by all because I wrote what I believe to be true, then so be it. "Listen to Me, you who know righteousness ,You people in whose heart is My law:Do not fear the reproach of men,Nor be afraid of their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment,And the worm will eat them like wool;But My righteousness will be forever,And My salvation from generation to generation.” Isa. 51:7-8

Truth Does Not Equal Sedition

At the end of my last blog I wrote and said that at some point in time, the things that I write might be considered to be "seditious." I am sure that many of you who have read this probably think that I am out of my mind, or that I just can't see things in the larger picture of life or ,worse yet ,you might think that I am just not bright enough to really see that my beliefs and ideals are out of touch with reality. Perhaps I am, all the above things, perhaps I am so old fashioned that I have been extremely naive to the realities of this new brave world, I don't know and honestly I don't care. I, along with many others in a general way, have been branded by the United States Government as a potential terrorist for little more then loving my country, supporting the Constitution and literally defending it against our so called enemies. I am labeled as such because I believe in the freedom of speech, even for those that I disagree with. I am labeled as such because I am a gun owner, an Iraq war vet and a constitutionalists. I have not broken any laws, have upheld my oath and yet time and time again, I , and others just like me, are considered to be the dangerous ones. I have attempted, over the last few years to be as objective in my writing as I can be. I have attempted to put a humorous spin on things or to suggest that there are some, much simpler ways ,to do things then these convoluted ideas that our government comes up with. Yet I am either ignored or thought to be a fool. So be it. This is where the supposed seditious part starts so you might want to leave now, before they round you up for having thoughts of your own or a conscience. Our president and most of congress are traitors to the country and have violated the oath of office. Here is the presidential oath: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." He has violated this oath time and time again , with his end runs around congress, and the Constitution that he is sworn to uphold, and Yes his predecessor did them same and is just as guilty. Congress has ignored it over and over again, and at least in a few cases openly scorned it or have suggested that we need to get rid of it or change it. How is that protecting or defending it? All of them need to be recalled and replaced. It isn't about skin color , and it isn't about party affiliation, because their predecessors were just as bad if not worse in some ways. The patriot act ,and the continuation of it, is in complete violation of more amendments to the constitution then I have time to write about. If any of you would take the time to search and really look at what has been done, all in the name of security, you would see it. This I realize will never happen because you would rather be entertained then informed, the death of a singer or the latest so called reality show or your FB status is more important to you then learning the truth,which is simply this; Your government is going out of it's way to destroy your rights and freedoms and they have a global agenda in mind. Here are just a few examples. Freedom of speech. Every time someone wants to speak out against the policies of the president or even have the nerve to question him, they are ostracized or ignored, and many times they are called racist, even if they are black. Ask Joe the plumber about being investigated for speaking his mind. Ask the General who couldn't speak at a military school because he was to controversial and CAIR protested. Ask Jewish students and leaders who try to speak out for Israel and they are shouted down. The only speech that you are allowed are those that the administration approves of or is considered politically correct. Freedom of speech means that you have the right to speak your mind even if that means some one is offended. I am of Cuban descent, if you wish to go out on a street corner and denounce all Cuban immigrants, you have that right. And while I will disagree with you as loudly as I can, I will also defend your right to say what you will. Yes, there can be consequences for what you say, but you still have the right to say them. Freedom of Religion. You have to be living under a rock to not see whats happening. The government, in clear violation of the Constitution, is telling the Catholic church, and really all religious institutions, that you have to follow the dictates of the government even though it goes against your conscience and morals. This is not entirely new,clergy of all kinds have been essentially told that they have to be careful what they preach on,because they could be held responsible for a hate crime ,if someone reacts wrong to something that they said, making broad assumptions that what happened was your intention. Then there are those, who on public streets have been arrested for nothing more then handing out Bibles. The list is long and endless but the bottom line is the agenda is to remove as much of religion and speech as possible. I will end this section with this thought; You may not agree with the Catholic church, (I am neither Catholic nor a Christian)on this issue ,but understand that once that breech has been made, it's only a matter of time before they come after what you believe to be morally wrong or your moral duty. Right to keep and bare arms. Right now the current administration is considering trying to ratify a treaty on small arms that the UN is proposing.This is little more then an attempt to end run the congress and the Constitution once again. This is not a hunter rights issue, this is an issue of every American citizen having the right to defend themselves from a tyrannical government and it's enforcers. Do you really want the UN to be the one who decides this issue? Do you really want a country where the only ones with the guns are the criminals, military and police? This is what Hitler did and millions died.This is whats being attempted here. The right of the people, peaceably, to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. A couple of years ago during the Republican convention, people were kept from protesting any where near where the convention was being held. I have watched, as time and time again, people from all walks of life have been arrested or escorted out of an public assembly, not because they were doing anything dangerous, but simply because they were voicing their opinion on what they believed was wrong. When Occupy Wall Street was peacefully protesting what they considered to be wrong, many times, they were arrested and hauled away. When the Tea Party spoke their minds,instead of the points of issue being debated they were mocked and ridiculed by the government and essentially dismissed and called racist. Their grievances still haven't been addressed. The rights of the people to be secure in their persons. The government has said that you no longer have that right either. You have no right to resist arrest. The police on the other hand have the right to enter your home and go through and remove all your personal effects for no other reason that you might be up to something. Meaning that if they smell something suspicious outside your door, with out a warrant, or real probable cause, they can bust into your home and arrest you on nothing more then suspicion. If you fly you are subject to search and naked body scans. If you take a bus or a train, or even stop at the right rest area, you can find yourself being randomly searched for no reason other then DHS says they can, again violating the Constitution. I am only up to number 4 and I have skipped a lot of stuff. Now of course along with the everything else, because of the NDAA act, you can be arrested and detained by the military or police ,for an indefinite period of time, for no more reason then you MIGHT do something. I know someone personally who this happened too so this isn't just hear say to me. Just writing this ,and telling you, that all this is a clear violation of everything that this country has ever stood for, could be enough to make me disappear for a long time, if for no other reason ,then to scare me into silence. We are spending more money then we have. Getting our selves closer to the edge of economic disaster and no one is stopping it. While many are getting poorer because of it, our congress people are getting remarkably richer. Bankers and Wall street are doing well while the working class and main street are falling apart. And no one is doing anything to stop it. Voter fraud and corruption charges have been filed in various parts of this country against officials of the two main parties. Meanwhile real voters ,at the primaries and caucuses, are having their votes disregarded in states such as Iowa and Maine because they don't match the already pre determined outcome.This is just plain wrong. We are a nation that has ignored it's own laws and Constitution from the top down and we then have the nerve to try and force other nations to follow our lead? We have become the modern day Romans and are ripe for total and complete collapse. This is what the globalist want. So there you have it. I am done supporting anything that this country does, until we go back to being a Constitutional Representative Republic. I won't support any party, or cause. I am not interested in voting because the two party system is a sham, it's a choice between two evils with the same, differently worded ideology. We have the illusion of being free but the reality is that we only have the freedom that we are willing to fight for and collectively we have stopped fighting. So am I being seditious? I don't think so, at least not according to Websters Dictionary,I am simply speaking the truth, but if in speaking that truth I am seen as such then so be it.

Attacks on the Constitution and Religion

I am not a Catholic. I am not Protestant. I am not a Christian,or Jew, though my leanings are definitely towards Judaism, but I am concerned for all of the above religions. In fact I will take it just a bit further and say that I am worried about where this country is heading in regards to our constitution and our God given rights. Last week, as most of you who pay attention anyhow, know, the Obama administration decided that it would make it mandatory for religious institutions to provide everything from birth control to abortions through mandated insurance for their employees. In effect saying to them that even though it is against your religious beliefs to do so, we, "The Government", are going to force you to do this. Besides the fact that it violates the conscience of many religious groups, it is also a clear violation of the First Amendment which states very clearly: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. " I have heard this used time and time again to keep separate church and state and yet, when it's convenient to do so, the government is going to violate it for their own purposes? I have heard it argued that a vast number of the above named groups use contraception any how but that is not really the point. The point is that the government does not have the right to force you to violate your conscience whether or not they think it's good for you. None of this is new of course. I asked someone, a Christian friend, 20 some odd years ago, when the great witch hunt for smokers was going on, where does it stop? At that time, as most of you probably remember, smoking and smokers were being hunted down almost like dogs and some were actually calling for the government to ban cigarettes or at least tax them so high as to bankrupt the tobacco companies, which of course were the most vile of all groups, and so I asked the question then, if the government interferes here in our lives where does it stop? Even if it is with the best of intentions it goes way beyond what they were ever intended to do and what if the thing that you love or like to do suddenly becomes the next target? Where does it stop? Today it seems that the entire Constitution is under attack in one form or another and there are those in powerful positions who are calling for it to be changed or ignored. It has become PC to attack the very document that points out our God given rights to even have this conversation. We have groups such as DHS that would suggest that people like me, a war vet, Libertarian, constitutionalists are actually the enemy now, because I believe in freedom and liberty as guaranteed by that very Constitution. I should point out that unless you live under a rock you likely fit into one of their terrorist categories as well. None of this really surprises me. The constitution has been under full blown attack for the past 12 years at least and religion for at least the last 20 in both the private and public arenas. Two recent examples a Supreme Court Justice, suggested in an interview that the constitution was too restrictive and that if she was looking for a model she would go with something like South Africa uses. This is a someone, who is supposed to uphold and defend the Constitution and yet she belittles it internationally. Of course when you have presidents, past and present, who do end runs around the congress and the Constitution, and in congress people who ignore the Constitution in favor of PC or who pays the most, I don't suppose I should expect any less. The religion part is easy to spot as well. Military Chaplains being told what they can and cannot say to their congregations, They cant invoke the name of their god in their prayers. A prominent university, is threatening to ban religious organizations unless they are all inclusive of people,including those who are fundamentally opposed to what they stand for. If you are going to be a part of a group shouldn't you be expected to have similar beliefs? That's like saying that the Marine Corp League should allow members of Code Pink to join them with out ever having served in the Marines. It makes no sense. At what point do we , as Americans, say enough already? We have become a nation of people that allow the nanny state to rule everything we do. We have become a nation of sheeple who just sit back and watch or even actively promote those who would destroy our Constitution, somehow convincing ourselves that this is for our own good, not realizing that we are but inches away from full blown tyranny. You can ignore me, I am not a powerful person, I am but a patriot who has served his country and loves what this country use to be, but mark my words when I tell you that the day is coming when we won't even be able to have this conversation because it will be considered to be seditious, but that's a subject for another day.
