The Supreme Court Has Ruled: Principled People Will Not Obey!
The Court Jesters have made their ruling, now let them try to force thinking and committed Americans to accept perversion as normal, natural, and noble
The Supreme Court Has Ruled: Principled People Will Not Obey!
Following the Supreme Court’s illegal, immoral, and incredible “gay” rights decision, the White House (owned by the American people, not the President) was flooded with rainbow-color lights in celebration of that disgusting, dangerous, and decadent decision. Such impudence and defiance was an insult to America and a goading of God. However, be assured that God sees the evil and the good and He is involved in our world. Sometime His judgment seems slow, but it is always sure and severe. Judgment is on the way!
Former U. S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson said about the Supreme Court’s authority, “We are not final because we are infallible; we are infallible because we are final.” That attitude is not only arrogant but audacious and asinine. However, the Supreme Court is not infallible (as only a fool would say) nor is it final (as only a fanatic would say). I remind you that their decisions are called, “opinions” and do not reach the level of the Ten Commandments–or even the Ten Recommendations. Same-sex “marriages” will continue to be abnormal, abominable, and aberrational even as shallow people applaud them.
Some have said, “The Court has spoken. That settles it.” Oh, really, what about Dred Scott? The Court, consisting of appointed, flawed individuals, has reversed itself over 200 times and it must be remembered that the Court is illegitimate when it usurps the position of legislatures. If the Court wants to write laws, they should resign, run for Congress, expose their financial souls and seek approval from the voters. The Justices are rogues in black robes drunk with power. The Court thinks it is omnipotent and omniscient and it seems to be almost omnipresent in our lives.
If laws that are contrary to the Constitution can be written by unelected officials then why do we have a Constitution? It means we are living under tyranny.
As a consequence of this opinion, everyone and all organizations will react. U.S. legislators must consider the “good behavior” clause in Article III, Section I of the Constitution that requires them to remove an erring justice from the court. That will happen when Hell has an enormous drop in temperature which can’t happen according to my theological beliefs. America will be free from the tyrants only when some of them reach room temperature.
State governors have an opportunity to affirm their sovereign authority and say, “We will not comply. You gave an opinion over something beyond your responsibility. We will not permit or give approval to behavior that is a threat to civilization.
Same-sex ‘marriages’ will not be recognized in this state.” Then, the Court will charge the governors with contempt (which the governors will be guilty of as I am but I’m doing my best to conceal my contempt) and send U.S. Marshalls to arrest them. The governors can choose to use state troopers in their defense or choose not to do so. Bad position to be in but then no one asked for this except homosexuals and those whose highest ambition and reason for living is to satisfy homosexuals.
I will not comply. I will live as if the decision was never made
I don’t know what governors will do but I know what I will do and recommend other preachers do. I will not comply. I will live as if the decision was never made.
Pastors should inform everyone that they will never perform a same-sex “wedding.” Nor will the church ever be used for such activity. It is not enough for pastors not to perform such weddings; they must go on record of that decision.
Pastors should make it clear that unrepentant homosexuals will not be accepted as church members just as unrepentant fornicators, adulterers, thieves, abortionists, killers, and radical Liberals are rejected. Surely no pastor has to be convinced that he should never permit any secular authority to dictate to his church.
Pastors should prepare to lose the 501 (c) (3) tax status. Pastors have been negligent if they have not prepared church members for that event. The loss really should be no big deal since sincere Christians give 10 to 15 percent of their total income because they want to–not because of a tax advantage.
Preachers should continue to preach that homosexuality is perversion and if homosexuals do not repent they will be cast into Hell as will fornicators. At the same time the homosexual, like the adulterer, must understand that God loves him and is willing to forgive him at any time. And so is the church.
Pastors must warn members not to attend same-sex “marriages” of close friends or family members and refuse without alienating them if at all possible. With many, it will not be possible and the loss will be heartbreaking; however, any kind of approval will make one “a partaker of his evil deeds.”
Sunday school teachers and Christian school teachers should continue to teach that any sex outside of man-woman marriage is sinful requiring genuine repentance.
Christian colleges should continue to refuse homosexuals as students so housing for same-sex “couples” on their campus is a moot issue.
If the Court should rule that gun ownership was illegal or that freedom of the press was now illegal, would any sane person comply? It is ridiculous to suggest that the Court can write law as in this case and in the ObamaCare case then declare that the newly written laws are constitutional! No one gave these birds such carte blanche authority.
In 1804, Jefferson wrote: “The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” That’s where we are today: despots reign.
Abe Lincoln said in his First Inaugural Address “that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.”
In 1832, President Andrew Jackson’s contempt of the Court’s decision in Worchester v. Georgia was on full display when he allegedly replied, “John Marshall [Chief Justice] has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” He was acknowledging that the Court does not have an army to enforce its decisions although it does have a few U.S. Marshalls that can arrest offending individuals.
The Court Jesters have made their ruling, now let them try to force thinking and committed Americans to accept perversion as normal, natural, and noble.

The First Step
The government has taken the time over the years and shown a level of patience heretofore unrecognized as it whittles away at the foundation of American values and traditions.
The First Step
By Sarge
“The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.- Milan Kundera (The Hayride 6-26-2015)
Well; the Supreme Court has issued some specific and overwhelmingly Progressive judgments between 6-25 and 6-26-2015. Obamacare doesn’t have to follow the “letter of the law” and Same-Sex marriage is allowable and enforceable in all 50 states. This seems less a matter of the will of the people than a pair of statements saying the State and the Government has NO responsibility to listen to the people and/or follow the mandates of those people.
They have the power. The majority of people have no say in the execution of that power. The loudest, meanest, most strident proclamations of organizers putting forth more and more disaffected people seeking only their viewpoint’s enforcement overwhelms the thoughts and wishes of those either too tired or TOO LAZY to stand and fight for what they believe in. We’re losing the exceptionality of being American because the very rights we say belong to all are being used to expunge the rights of others.
This whole nation is Dysfunctional. Dysfunctional is defined as: 1.not performing normally, as an organ or structure of the body; malfunctioning. 2.having a malfunctioning part or element:3. behaving or acting outside social norms
The people have no relationship with government. The government has taken the time over the years and shown a level of patience heretofore unrecognized as it whittles away at the foundation of American values and traditions. Over the past couple of days the government, led by a feckless Marxist subverting a Progressive Supreme Court and herding a compliant and self-serving Congress toward the brink of Socialist/Communist took-over.
Look at the quote above. It tells the way and manner in which a nation falls and dies. The quote pulls no punches.
Obama has discredited America on numerous occasions as being NOT exceptional. He has derided us for our stances, some for good and some proven bad, as being without consequence other than he recognizes America as derisive, divisive and destructive. To this and him I say: SCREW YOU, YOU LOUSY BASTARD!
Your mother was a Communist raised by Marxists. You’ve been educated to the highest levels and been allowed the highest office in this land because of the largesse, generosity and charity of this nation and all it has to offer. And still your egotistical self-demands we kneel before the intellectual prognostications and divination we must all drop to the lowest common denominator so you can stand above us.
The first step in stopping your rotten self is for the American people to admit the following:
We admitted we were powerless over our government- that our lives have become unmanageable.
Our lives are becoming unmanageable because the government wants to manage any and all elements of it from how you eat, sleep and breathe, to who you may or may not associate with and accept as equals. Government has taken the course of defining YOUR personal values and demanding, by law, that you comply with the proper governmental point of view. To not do so will see you being excoriated, berated, denounced and rebuked as being racist, bigoted and discriminatory when they are the ones being racist, bigoted and discriminatory against you because they don’t like the way you feel; because they can’t have their way without controversy.
America has become the land of the of those who need to flee and the home of the of the politically correct and opportunistic but morally bereft knave. With activist courts seeking to displace the will of ALL of the people we see the future as being directed by the United Nations and other petulant and retarded authority believing the world should be governed by the loudest and most active minority simply because everybody wants the governors to shut-up, slip back into the shadows and quit disturbing the personal peace.
The price of this political correctness anchored to the loose and shifting sands on which it’s built will look like it’ll survive but the façade must fall when the foundation is undermined by the many and latest theory comes along to threaten the existence of each individual brick holding the next one in restraint.
We need to admit we’re powerless over our government- that our lives have become unmanageable and for that we are in danger.
We need to turn back to God.

How to create killers and other haters
What will posterity say about the editors of our major media outlets who consciously choose to publish letters, let alone “reports” filled with fabrications that denigrate Israel and the Jews and incite hateful actions?
How to create killers and other haters
Tabitha Southey wrote in the Globe and Mail that “killers don’t just spontaneously generate.” She was referring to Dylann Roof, the man who murdered nine members of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. In her opinion Roof became a racist killer from the literature he read-on-line, specifically from the Council of Conservative Citizens whose information about black/white relationships was, to put it nicely -skewed. Well deceitful. Actually hateful. The false information could push someone over the edge into “action” against people of colour. And it did.http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/killers-like-the-alleged-charleston-gunman-dont-just-spontaneously-generate/article25142343/
This website filled him with enough information to say “I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country.”
I have no doubt that much that is secreted online is questionable. It’s mostly opinion, based on feeling, without a verifiable fact in sight. But blaming on-line sites for this hate is unabashed hypocrisy. Southey needs to take a look in the mirror-a mirror that reflects the decisions made by editors of mainstream media outlets-print, TV, radio.
That same day that Southey wrote her diatribe, I read letters in the National Post that refuted one by Ian Coleman of Edmonton that had been published the previous day. Coleman was responding to an article posted June 24:“Even when faced with criminal tactics, Israel abided by the laws of armed conflict” written by Irit Kohn, president of the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, a UN-accredited NGO.http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/irit-kohn-even-when-faced-with-criminal-tactics-israel-abided-by-the-laws-of-armed-conflict
Coleman took umbrage with the article. He couldn’t accept the facts that were reported. He wrote: “The honest version of how Israel fights is this: every few years, whenever an Israeli politician needs to win votes by demonstrating a capacity for ruthless cruelty, the Israeli Defense Force bombs people with no air defences, massacring at least a thousand.”
Not a word of truth in that letter. Not an iota of fact. Just a hate-filled response. A Jew-hating, 100% fact-free response that was read by all the subscribers to the National Post paper and on-line. An editor at the National Post decided that it was appropriate to post a lie. Well, not a lie-many lies about Israel and the IDF. The editor decided that it was appropriate, perhaps in the name of “freedom of speech” to post this hate-filled diatribe in the National Post giving others a perspective that incites hate with no foundation.
Why is it acceptable to print lies in Main Stream media?
And how is this any different from the web-site that Dylann Roof read?
Why is it acceptable to print lies in Main Stream media? Is it to promote discussion? If so, what kind? What was the intention of the editor for printing such a hate-filled letter based on no facts at all-just Mr. Coleman’s hatred for Israel and the Jews?
It has become acceptable to attack Israel and the Jewish people. In the United States Jewish students on campus are under attack. Students fear wearing anything that identifies them as Jewish. They see paintings of swastikas across campus, and other Nazi pornography. They are often ostracized and excluded, spat upon, called a terrorist, baby killer, woman killer, Christ killer, occupier, and told to go burn in an oven. What do you think would happen in the USA of Muslim or LGBT students reported being harassed like that?http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=12993&r=1
Canada is not much better. Anti-semitism on campus is on the rise.http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/debate-anti-semitism-remains-a-problem-on-canadian-campuses
These Jew-haters get their ideas from somewhere. But seeing them in mainstream media validates them, like receiving the Good Housekeeping Stamp of Approval. A letter to the editor isn’t the same as comments posted online, which are often anonymous and fall into freedom of speech. Letters, like the one by Coleman, are not there by accident. They were specifically chosen by the letter editor.
I remember years ago editors made decisions based on “If it bleeds it leads.” Not anymore. “If it’s Jews it’s news” is the new motto. Anything negative about the Jews or Israel is front and centre. One thing is for certain, that letter by Mr. Coleman led to much ado. Three letters in response to his fantasy fulminations were published the next day. Is that the reason the editor of the National Post published Coleman’s letter-to get a frenzied response-fill the letter pages by goading the Jews into justifying Israel’s right to defend herself when this is asked of no other country?
http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/letters-a-summer-at-meech-lake
What possible good did publishing that letter do? And the “Dylann Roof’s” of the world, what do you think they learned from the editor’s decision to publish a pack of lies?
I fear that this is the new journalism and this new journalism is no different from the trash found on websites like the Council of Conservative Citizens.
When asked about their responsibility regarding Roof’s atrocity, Kyle Rogers, proprietor of Council of Conservative Citizens, said they never “intended to promote racial hatred,” they’re “hardly responsible.” The alleged killer “merely … gleaned accurate information from our website.”(my emphasis)
Southey reported that The League of the South, a Southern nationalist organization, issued a statement in support of “our friend and compatriot, Kyle Rogers” saying “that the alleged killer chose to act on this information is no fault of Mr. Rogers or anyone else who tells the hard truths about race.”
I don’t’ think Ms. Southey bought that explanation. She referred to Rogers (and his comments) as “another particle in the air…swirling in the miasma of YouTube commentators with opinions…”
How are the actions of the editors at the National Post-and please-it isn’t just the National Post any different from Kyle Rogers? No need to troll the web to find lies and obfuscations about the Jews. Just pick up a paper and it’s right there, because of the editors’ decisions to vilify the Jewish people.
Southey wrote “If we, as a society, can’t acknowledge the connection between an alleged killer, who reportedly told his victims “I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country and you have to go,” and those who repeatedly told him that black people rape “our women,” et cetera, posterity should mock us.”
What will posterity say about the editors of our major media outlets who consciously choose to publish letters, let alone “reports” filled with fabrications that denigrate Israel and the Jews and incite hateful actions?

One thing is for certain, that letter by Mr. Coleman led to much ado. Three letters in response to his fantasy fulminations were published the next day. Is that the reason the editor of the National Post published Coleman’s letter-to get a frenzied response-fill the letter pages by goading the Jews into justifying Israel’s right to defend herself when this is asked of no other country?
http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/letters-a-summer-at-meech-lake
What possible good did publishing that letter do? And the “Dylann Roof’s” of the world, what do you think they learned from the editor’s decision to publish a pack of lies?
I fear that this is the new journalism and this new journalism is no different from the trash found on websites like the Council of Conservative Citizens.
When asked about their responsibility regarding Roof’s atrocity, Kyle Rogers, proprietor of Council of Conservative Citizens, said they never “intended to promote racial hatred,” they’re “hardly responsible.” The alleged killer “merely … gleaned accurate information from our website.”(my emphasis)
Southey reported that The League of the South, a Southern nationalist organization, issued a statement in support of “our friend and compatriot, Kyle Rogers” saying “that the alleged killer chose to act on this information is no fault of Mr. Rogers or anyone else who tells the hard truths about race.”
I don’t’ think Ms. Southey bought that explanation. She referred to Rogers (and his comments) as “another particle in the air…swirling in the miasma of YouTube commentators with opinions…”
How are the actions of the editors at the National Post-and please-it isn’t just the National Post any different from Kyle Rogers? No need to troll the web to find lies and obfuscations about the Jews. Just pick up a paper and it’s right there, because of the editors’ decisions to vilify the Jewish people.
Southey wrote “If we, as a society, can’t acknowledge the connection between an alleged killer, who reportedly told his victims “I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country and you have to go,” and those who repeatedly told him that black people rape “our women,” et cetera, posterity should mock us.”
What will posterity say about the editors of our major media outlets who consciously choose to publish letters, let alone “reports” filled with fabrications that denigrate Israel and the Jews and incite hateful actions?

Lyrics
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war
And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs
On the radio talk shows and the t.v.
You hear one thing again and again
How the u.s.a. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names
They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

Make No Mistake: Absolute Evil Does Exist.
Make No Mistake: Absolute Evil Does Exist.
I spend all day away from home (and I can attest that driving with a sprained ankle sucks!). As always, music kept me going and today it was the always moving voice of Roger Waters. I have been listening to Waters since I was 10 years old and ever since his emotion-filled music has always accompanied me through the good and the bad.
Today, just as it was getting dark, my player played Water’s beautiful ” The Tide is Turning” and, as always, I had a flashback to the years of the Cold War:
I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus Christ imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest, who is the best
Who holds the aces, the East or the West
This is the crap our children are learning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Now the satellite’s confused
‘Cos on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Billy
I’m not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology’s sword from the hand of the
War Lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester
The tide is turning.
“That’s it!”
[Morse Code:]
“Now the past is over but you are not alone
Together we’ll fight Sylvester Stallone
We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea
of macho bullshit and mediocrity
I can attest that by 1991 we were millions, if not not billions, who really, sincerely, believed that we were witnessing the end of this nuclear madness. Were we naive? Maybe. And yet the emotion illustrated in this song, “I’m not saying that the battle is won, But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun, Wrested technology’s sword from the hand of the War Lords, Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning“, was nevertheless powerful and genuine. And today I find myself having the same thoughts as Waters had in the 1980s: “Used to look in on the children at night, In the glow of their Donald Duck light, And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning, Who is the strongest, who is the best, Who holds the aces, the East or the West, This is the crap our children are learning“. And that makes me angry, very angry.
I think that I understand the historical circumstances which resulted in the Cold War but we all, as a single humanity, we *beat* this abomination. Even though it came close several times, “the button” was not depressed, not by the Soviets and not by the Americans. And there even came a time when true “hardcore” military specialists (for example Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov in the Soviet Union) made a official doctrinal statement that a nuclear war was unwinnable.
And now, because of a sad collection of Neocons with absolutely no understanding of any warfare, nuclear or conventional, we are right back again to square one: a nuclear war is possible again.
The Neocons
Could they all be demonically possessed?
One could have imagined that having done 9/11 and launched the worldwide GWOT (Global War on Terror), the Neocons would have quenched their thirst for blood, but apparently this was not enough. They had to go on challenging Russia and risk not just a global war, but a nuclear global war.
And now they are openly supporting the three most demonic ideologies on the planet: Daesh Takfirism, Ukro Nazism and Israeli Zionism.
That such a small amount of individuals would have such a fantastic capability for evil is just amazing, and very discouraging.
Make no mistake: absolute evil does exist.

Ignorance is Bliss; Until You Are Incinerated in a Nuclear Exchange
Ignorance is Bliss; Until You Are Incinerated in a Nuclear Exchange
Nuclear War, brought to you by neocon idiots and corporate media.
The purpose of corporate “news” media is to dull your mind and insure you are sufficiently dumbed down and distracted from the real issues, by feeding you pointless irrelevant social trivia. As long as you are distracted, you are unable to organize, get involved, or seek change, which is exactly what corporate media wants, and is exactly where they have you. Don’t think so? Answer the following questions:
We have been at war in Afghanistan for over 13 years; why? What are we fighting for? Who are we fighting? Where is Afghanistan and why can’t most Americans even find it on a map after 13 years of war?
How about Iraq? Most Americans cannot find Iraq on a world map, can you? How long have we been at war in Iraq? Why are we at war in Iraq? Who are we fighting in Iraq? What do they want? What do we want?
How about Syria? Who are we fighting? Where is Syria on a map? Who or what is ISIS? What do they want? Are we with or against Assad? Why are we helping Al-Qaeda?
Let’s look at Libya? Why did we bomb it daily for seven consecutive months? Where is Libya on a map? Why did we support Muammar al- Quadafi, then help kill him? What has happened to Libya after we bombed them to save them?
How about Egypt? Who is the current dictator of Egypt and why do we support a dictator? How do we support him?
How about Russia? Most Americans do not have a clue that we are now very close to a war with Russia, but then again most folks never saw World War I coming either. Why do we now have troops in the all the Baltic States on the border with Russia? Why are we installing missiles on Russia’s border? Where is the Ukraine in relationship to the US? Where is the Ukraine in relationship to Russia? How many military bases does Russia have outside Russia? How many military bases does the US have outside of its borders? What was the Kennedy’s reaction when he found out that Russia had installed missiles in Cuba? Why is the US having “war games” less than one mile from the Russian border? How many foreign nations has Russia invaded since the end of WWII? How many nations has the US invaded or bombed since the end of WWII? Why does corporate media depict Russia as militarily aggressive?
Why did the US spend 5 billion dollars promoting unrest an orchestrating a coup against a democratically elected government in the Ukraine? Why did the foul mouthed neocon US ambassador, Victoria Nuland say, and what did she mean, when she so eloquently said: “F... the EU”?
How about China? Where is the South China Sea in relationship to both China and the US? Why is the US establishing missiles and a military base in Australia? Where is Australia in relationship to China? Why has the US flown provocative flights very near Chinese claimed Islands in the South China Sea?
Yemen. Where is it? Why are we helping the most brutal dictatorship in the world, Saudi Arabia, bomb Yemen into annihilation?
And finally folks, one last serous question. What is wrong with a nation that has been at war through 93% of its history?
OK, so you are not a genius and you may not be able to answer all of the above questions, so try this on. When was the last time you heard any serious discussion of one of these issues by corporate news media outlets? OK perhaps I am a bit harsh, so let’s get to what you do know because of corporate news media. Most Americans know all about, over and underinflated footballs. Most Americans know just about all there is to know about the Kardashians and the Bruce Jenner saga. Think about the pablum you are being fed and the great questions that are being avoided by corporate media.
Reading http://josephfreedomoranarchy.blogspot.com/.info may not broaden your knowledge of properly inflated footballs and the Kardashians, but it will help you to understand that neocon idiots are bringing us to the brink of a nuclear holocaust with Russia and China?

Third Density Embrace – Are the Gods Jealous?
Third Density Embrace – Are the Gods Jealous?
Intro:
‘Is sexuality to be dispensed with – as the price for spiritual emancipation?’ – asks Julian Rose.
What if I posited that ‘third density’ is where the wandering ethereal spirits of the cosmos most want to be..
That it is within third density existence that the setting for a final and full awakening is to be manifest..
That spiritual aspiration which seeks to evolve as an ‘out of body’ state, is a form of elaborate escape mechanism..
An escape mechanism for those who have given-up on the integration of body, mind and spirit within the temple of the human condition.
Well, are not these valid posits?
So let us explore just why we devote so much time trying to be something other than what we are.
Read on, dear friends, if you wish to join in this exploration..
The integration of spirit and the flesh seems like a pretty profound challenge for struggling homo sapiens. So often these two natural allies seem to negate each other – one appearing to revel in a sense of liberation when freed from the other. Indeed, much of Christianity has for centuries extolled the virtue of recognising the superiority of the spiritual over the corporeal – and has recommended living a life moderated according to this dictum.
Many Eastern spiritual teachings recommend long periods of largely corporeally static meditation in order to make contact with the divine in one’s self and come closer to that same power in the beyond. Well, it may work, but you will probably end up with a body like the laughing Budha – however at least he saw the joke..
It has also been suggested that long term devotion to spirit uplifting and mind expanding techniques will cause the human physique to undergo a steady physical evolution. One in which the head becomes the dominant feature and the body shrinks into a mere slither of its former self.
It is thought, in these circles, that aspiration for unity with Source requires much exercising of the pineal gland and other neglected regions of the neocortex. So that other bodily organs get steadily receding levels of attention and stimulation, until they eventuality shrink into almost nothing.
We have probably all seen those pictures of supposedly ‘advanced’ humans, with huge triangular shaped heads, bulging dilated eyes and tiny waif-like bodies tapering into skinny and strangely prehistoric looking legs and feet. Well, would you like to end up looking like this?
The first thing that strikes me is how sexless these beings appear. They seem to be neutered; and that is expressed also in their pinched facial expression and small straight-set mouths. Altogether a very unsavoury mix!
Whether this is actually ‘an alien’ (as in Roswell incident) or an evolved human does not matter that much, because there exists a school of spiritual thinking which believes that is where we are headed anyway. It is a school which tends to debase sexuality, seeing it not as a source of profound richness – but as something of a persistent problem.
Which raises the question: is sexuality to be dispensed with – as the price for spiritual emancipation?
Persistent denial of the tactile subtleties of the physical senses, in favour of a pure spirituality, would no doubt lead we humans to lose our sensual proclivity and physical human beauty. Just as indulging in over-the-top hedonistic excesses produces a distorted and unbalanced physique and the loss of our ability to develop higher levels of conscious awareness. We are looking for something which is neither of these extremes.
Catch for a moment in your mind’s eye Michael Angelo’s superbly sculptured statue of David in Florence’s Piazza della Signoria. David’s fine torso, so delicately balanced between male and female, is sublimely expressive of the beauty of the human physique. An expressiveness which would not be so resonant if it did not also suggest both a spiritual dimension and intellectual curiosity. Its sexual resonance is not pronounced, but finely nuanced.
Now cut to that futuristic and supposedly advanced/evolved sexless being I have already described earlier. Shock!
Now to be fair, this ‘E.T’ like creature (should it exist) might well be the nicest of beings and possibly even very clever – so I must not pour scorn on it just because of the way it looks. However, the way things look usually reflects, in varying degrees, the way things are. Or at least, has a tendency to express a realised emotional condition or an unrealised emotional condition. And this looks to me to be a distinctly unrealised condition.
Other worldly states exist; and have their unique adaptations to the conditions in which they manifest.
However, I believe it likely that most of those reading this essay, made the decision to come (back) to planet Earth. So one should ask ones-self: why?
Maybe because we retained a memory of some much better time here. A time in which we were more expressed and shared in a life that was generally joyous. Or, it might be that we deeply sensed that the joyous human state could yet be lit-up here on Earth; in ways that are unique, imaginative and expressive of an inherent state of genius.
We were all, in different ways, drawn back to this extraordinary place, sensing, as we grew up, that we had a mission – a great task to which we needed and longed to commit.
The confusion that we found, after reaching a certain state of objective awareness, drove some of us to commit to a life in which we attempted (are attempting) to establish a deeper order and manifestation of that which strikes us as ‘true’.
This commitment has a certain price. A constraining affect on our natural inclination to express and explore deeply felt needs and emotional awakenings. To more fully indulge and share the beauty and bounty of the human condition. But in a world torn apart by dissident beliefs and irrational desires – none of us can afford to indulge for long in such luxuries. We have to commit – or die.
However, the reward for those traveling ‘the committed path’ is that there are often powerful glimpses of the world to come along the way; glimpses of the ecstatic. Windows that briefly blow open but then slam closed again. Fragments of a life that ‘could be’ – if the current order of values was reversed – and humanity started flowering according to the same current that causes plants to break into radiant flower and trees into glorious blossom.
Do trees and flowers long to be that which they are not?
It is my contention that our third density state, far from being something to continuously strive to get beyond, is exactly where we want and need to be. A place which acts as a magnet towards which great ethereal cosmic entities/energies are powerfully drawn. They are already deeply curious about the magnetic strength of Earth and the beauty of her seas, forests and mountains – her abundant flora and fauna.
But most of all, they wonder about us.
They sense that there is something truly special about our embrace; our acts of congress; our moments of ecstacy. Yet it is something they cannot directly experience. They both want – and don’t want – to be transformed into that particular state of sensuality which takes place in the dimension we call third density. Joys which we humans are so privileged to be able to experience.
I tell you, we have hardly begun to experience the wealth that we have at our fingertips in our quest to unite body, mind and spirit. But united they must be.
No wonder the gods are jealous. Some, out of frustration, even try to persuade us that it is they who hold the secret of enlightenment! Ha! But who can really blame them for the odd gripe – after aeons of existence as free roaming etheric pulses of ‘the now’, maybe it’s difficult to have to admit that you are not, after all, the be and end all of great aspiration – and that what you really want is to finally experience a bit of gravity based solidity?
OK, so we have it – and we are indeed most fortunate for that. But so as to utilise our time on Earth
to the full, we had better make sure that we keep our heads in proper proportion to our bodies – and our bodies themselves in a properly fit condition. For it is a very fine and wondrous thing that the unsullied proportions of the male and female physique are so well defined and so pleasingly balanced.
Witness the subtle athleticism that emerges in the art of the dance; the uniquely proud stance of the Kenyan Massai; the almost hypnotic beauty of practised exponents of Tai Chi; the simple body-sweep of the scythe as performed by the World’s humble peasant farmers … and so on. These are not ‘head led’ exigencies, but emanate from the area of the solar plexus.
When in doubt about where the centre of the universe lies, go to the solar plexus. It is from here that energies radiate out in every direction, feeding all the organs of the body. Mankind will not develop a swollen head and waif-like body so long as the main point of equilibrium remains in the solar region. The point of balance for the human physique as well as the human esprit. Start again from here – and all will fall into place quite naturally.
I find that I have been describing manifestations which are all moving in the direction of what we call art. And it this ‘art’ that is our essentially human tool for creating ‘heaven on Earth’. The artist is not bent upon raising his or her vibratory level to ever higher states, as the spiritualist is, but is more intent upon pulling down unto himself that which gives fuel to his creativity.
There is, in this route to fulfillment, a tacit acceptance of the dimension (density) in which we find ourselves. Not an attempt to escape from it. The trick is to get the spirit to become engaged in the Earthly creative process. To harness it to the need to take action. To bring creative equilibrium into life on Earth and to bring down the darkly domineering oppressors of humanity.
That is the missing ingredient of the purely spiritual aspirant, where a kind of built-in passivity shuns taking action; preferring to remain closed-off to the nitty gritty of life.
Our great guide throughout all, however, is ‘intuition’. The one force that is common to both art and spirit. Spirit and intuition are like lovers, they intertwine, and at moments – are one.
An artisan will take this intuitive receptivity and turn it into a creative action. That is the art of living. Not as ‘art for art’s sake’ but for the socio-economic and spiritual emancipation of humanity. This is the fuel upon which the new society is to be built. No uniquely spiritual agenda will ever achieve the transformative movement of true change.
Never mind that the gods are jealous. We must all turn our attention to fully embracing our third density roles and goals – for their seams are unimaginably rich and as yet, barely touched.

Intro:
‘Is sexuality to be dispensed with – as the price for spiritual emancipation?’ – asks Julian Rose.
What if I posited that ‘third density’ is where the wandering ethereal spirits of the cosmos most want to be..
That it is within third density existence that the setting for a final and full awakening is to be manifest..
That spiritual aspiration which seeks to evolve as an ‘out of body’ state, is a form of elaborate escape mechanism..
An escape mechanism for those who have given-up on the integration of body, mind and spirit within the temple of the human condition.
Well, are not these valid posits?
So let us explore just why we devote so much time trying to be something other than what we are.
Read on, dear friends, if you wish to join in this exploration..
The integration of spirit and the flesh seems like a pretty profound challenge for struggling homo sapiens. So often these two natural allies seem to negate each other – one appearing to revel in a sense of liberation when freed from the other. Indeed, much of Christianity has for centuries extolled the virtue of recognising the superiority of the spiritual over the corporeal – and has recommended living a life moderated according to this dictum.
Many Eastern spiritual teachings recommend long periods of largely corporeally static meditation in order to make contact with the divine in one’s self and come closer to that same power in the beyond. Well, it may work, but you will probably end up with a body like the laughing Budha – however at least he saw the joke..
It has also been suggested that long term devotion to spirit uplifting and mind expanding techniques will cause the human physique to undergo a steady physical evolution. One in which the head becomes the dominant feature and the body shrinks into a mere slither of its former self.
It is thought, in these circles, that aspiration for unity with Source requires much exercising of the pineal gland and other neglected regions of the neocortex. So that other bodily organs get steadily receding levels of attention and stimulation, until they eventuality shrink into almost nothing.
We have probably all seen those pictures of supposedly ‘advanced’ humans, with huge triangular shaped heads, bulging dilated eyes and tiny waif-like bodies tapering into skinny and strangely prehistoric looking legs and feet. Well, would you like to end up looking like this?
The first thing that strikes me is how sexless these beings appear. They seem to be neutered; and that is expressed also in their pinched facial expression and small straight-set mouths. Altogether a very unsavoury mix!
Whether this is actually ‘an alien’ (as in Roswell incident) or an evolved human does not matter that much, because there exists a school of spiritual thinking which believes that is where we are headed anyway. It is a school which tends to debase sexuality, seeing it not as a source of profound richness – but as something of a persistent problem.
Which raises the question: is sexuality to be dispensed with – as the price for spiritual emancipation?
Persistent denial of the tactile subtleties of the physical senses, in favour of a pure spirituality, would no doubt lead we humans to lose our sensual proclivity and physical human beauty. Just as indulging in over-the-top hedonistic excesses produces a distorted and unbalanced physique and the loss of our ability to develop higher levels of conscious awareness. We are looking for something which is neither of these extremes.
Catch for a moment in your mind’s eye Michael Angelo’s superbly sculptured statue of David in Florence’s Piazza della Signoria. David’s fine torso, so delicately balanced between male and female, is sublimely expressive of the beauty of the human physique. An expressiveness which would not be so resonant if it did not also suggest both a spiritual dimension and intellectual curiosity. Its sexual resonance is not pronounced, but finely nuanced.
Now cut to that futuristic and supposedly advanced/evolved sexless being I have already described earlier. Shock!
Now to be fair, this ‘E.T’ like creature (should it exist) might well be the nicest of beings and possibly even very clever – so I must not pour scorn on it just because of the way it looks. However, the way things look usually reflects, in varying degrees, the way things are. Or at least, has a tendency to express a realised emotional condition or an unrealised emotional condition. And this looks to me to be a distinctly unrealised condition.
Other worldly states exist; and have their unique adaptations to the conditions in which they manifest.
However, I believe it likely that most of those reading this essay, made the decision to come (back) to planet Earth. So one should ask ones-self: why?
Maybe because we retained a memory of some much better time here. A time in which we were more expressed and shared in a life that was generally joyous. Or, it might be that we deeply sensed that the joyous human state could yet be lit-up here on Earth; in ways that are unique, imaginative and expressive of an inherent state of genius.
We were all, in different ways, drawn back to this extraordinary place, sensing, as we grew up, that we had a mission – a great task to which we needed and longed to commit.
The confusion that we found, after reaching a certain state of objective awareness, drove some of us to commit to a life in which we attempted (are attempting) to establish a deeper order and manifestation of that which strikes us as ‘true’.
This commitment has a certain price. A constraining affect on our natural inclination to express and explore deeply felt needs and emotional awakenings. To more fully indulge and share the beauty and bounty of the human condition. But in a world torn apart by dissident beliefs and irrational desires – none of us can afford to indulge for long in such luxuries. We have to commit – or die.
However, the reward for those traveling ‘the committed path’ is that there are often powerful glimpses of the world to come along the way; glimpses of the ecstatic. Windows that briefly blow open but then slam closed again. Fragments of a life that ‘could be’ – if the current order of values was reversed – and humanity started flowering according to the same current that causes plants to break into radiant flower and trees into glorious blossom.
Do trees and flowers long to be that which they are not?
It is my contention that our third density state, far from being something to continuously strive to get beyond, is exactly where we want and need to be. A place which acts as a magnet towards which great ethereal cosmic entities/energies are powerfully drawn. They are already deeply curious about the magnetic strength of Earth and the beauty of her seas, forests and mountains – her abundant flora and fauna.
But most of all, they wonder about us.
They sense that there is something truly special about our embrace; our acts of congress; our moments of ecstacy. Yet it is something they cannot directly experience. They both want – and don’t want – to be transformed into that particular state of sensuality which takes place in the dimension we call third density. Joys which we humans are so privileged to be able to experience.
I tell you, we have hardly begun to experience the wealth that we have at our fingertips in our quest to unite body, mind and spirit. But united they must be.
No wonder the gods are jealous. Some, out of frustration, even try to persuade us that it is they who hold the secret of enlightenment! Ha! But who can really blame them for the odd gripe – after aeons of existence as free roaming etheric pulses of ‘the now’, maybe it’s difficult to have to admit that you are not, after all, the be and end all of great aspiration – and that what you really want is to finally experience a bit of gravity based solidity?
OK, so we have it – and we are indeed most fortunate for that. But so as to utilise our time on Earth
to the full, we had better make sure that we keep our heads in proper proportion to our bodies – and our bodies themselves in a properly fit condition. For it is a very fine and wondrous thing that the unsullied proportions of the male and female physique are so well defined and so pleasingly balanced.
Witness the subtle athleticism that emerges in the art of the dance; the uniquely proud stance of the Kenyan Massai; the almost hypnotic beauty of practised exponents of Tai Chi; the simple body-sweep of the scythe as performed by the World’s humble peasant farmers … and so on. These are not ‘head led’ exigencies, but emanate from the area of the solar plexus.
When in doubt about where the centre of the universe lies, go to the solar plexus. It is from here that energies radiate out in every direction, feeding all the organs of the body. Mankind will not develop a swollen head and waif-like body so long as the main point of equilibrium remains in the solar region. The point of balance for the human physique as well as the human esprit. Start again from here – and all will fall into place quite naturally.
I find that I have been describing manifestations which are all moving in the direction of what we call art. And it this ‘art’ that is our essentially human tool for creating ‘heaven on Earth’. The artist is not bent upon raising his or her vibratory level to ever higher states, as the spiritualist is, but is more intent upon pulling down unto himself that which gives fuel to his creativity.
There is, in this route to fulfillment, a tacit acceptance of the dimension (density) in which we find ourselves. Not an attempt to escape from it.

Predator vs. Protector
Predator vs. Protector
Looking back on my life, I see that much of its meaning was derived from my gradual transformation from the externally indoctrinated predator (wolf) to the inner-directed protector (sheepdog). The sheepdog has always been my true nature. It is the conditioning of my environment that caused me to drift off course.
I assume as with most who have been raised to be a predator , it all began with the parental verbal as well as physical abuse in my youth. From there came the coercive environment of the educational system and dealing with other predators in the form of teachers as well as classmates. My religious upbringing where I was threatened with the fires of hell into serving a predatory god was also part of the process. Soon I was drawn towards those of my kind whose behavior continued to steer me in the wrong direction.
At a certain point, I could no longer follow this path as it was not my destiny. Due to karmic repercussions experienced because of the aberrant behaviors of my wayward youth as well as conflicts with my peers (other wolves), I became dissatisfied with this way of life. But what predominately occurred during this period of personal turmoil was the beginning of a spiritual quest that continues to this day.
In response to all of this, I chose to leave the region of my birth and live in areas where nature was still abundant and could be more easily accessed rather than remaining within the encroaching commercialized concrete jungle of my hometown. I was also drawn to various “Gurus in the distance” during this time. Although I don’t regret this (or most anything else about my life) as it was all part of my true education, I later became disenchanted with these “Holy men” as maturity brought me to the realization of the kingdom within. It’s not so much that I disagreed with what they had to say–it’s that I felt a growing desire to discover these things for myself.
That doesn’t mean that I’m not continuing to grow due to receiving intelligent information from others at higher levels than myself. One thing that I’ve learned from various sources on alternative sites is that when man does not allow the beauty of the divine feminine the spiritual access to breathe and grow, all that remains is the predatory nature. For it is the divine feminine that provides such qualities as compassion and empathy.
I think of our military today, whose divine feminine nature has been smashed to pieces. Although many of our troops may have started out as a sheepdog (compassionate protector), this cannot continue for long when they blindly obey the orders of wolves. Due to this perversion which always results in such a severe spiritual imbalance, most of our soldiers are nothing more than vicious brutal murderers who take their orders to kill predominately civilians that were never a threat to them until after they invaded their country based on lies.
Ironically, the brain-dead public (sheep) continue to support these wolves as most still fail to realize that they will soon be “What’s for dinner” here at home.
Of course, this can be taken to the other extreme also. A contemporary case in point is Caitlyn Jenner. Twenty years ago, she would have been but a passing fancy while the circus was in town. Now, with much assistance from her previous success in the Olympics, she has become the poster child for emasculation. Being splashed across all of the media also further solidifies the alpha-dog male mentality on the other extreme.
Anyway, back to the corporate enforcers. What the predators in uniform need to understand is that their previous compatriots are awakening and, in doing so, are transitioning back from predator to protector. This is the problem with continuing bankers’ wars for too long in the age of alternative media. Only the most hopelessly indoctrinated fail to realize who they are really serving.
I suspect that there are thousands of veterans and those still in the armed forces as well as law enforcement that are beginning to see through the lies. They are also not well pleased with how the government has treated them after they were released from their service.
Once our so-called heroes in uniform choose to obey orders to confiscate guns and send Americans to FEMA camps on a massive scale, these twisted souls will finally be seen by the masses (including many in our military, veterans and law enforcement) for the gutless scoundrels that they are.
If this is where we are to end up, there’s one more thing our order-following troops need to realize. For the first time in their lives, those active military and veterans who stand against you will now be truly fighting for our freedom.
I believe that the spiritual strength that can be unleashed when fighting for a righteous cause is beyond comprehension. How could we know what it’s like when all of our previous enemies have been manufactured by the ones giving the orders?
The enemies of humanity will then understand very quickly what forces come into play for those who stand for liberty. I suggest that they build a Green Zone here in America to house them and their families. For it will be open season on uniforms and the risk will be great that they will end up being killed by their own troops who have awakened to reality.
I do not envy the fate of the wolves. Even if they were to win (which they won’t), they will subsequently be purged by their masters after serving their purpose.
It’s now up to these wolves whether they wish to continue their pathetic way of life or not. Soon it will be too late.
One of life’s little ironies is that, in the end, these human predators are being set up to suffer the same fate as the sheep they will soon be ordered to slaughter.
A fitting end for the cosmic waste products that they are.

A Cancer across the Earth Called Globalism
Romania: Replacing one evil master--the communists, with another--globalists/corporatists/statists
A Cancer across the Earth Called Globalism
I just returned from a two week trip to Romania and, I am sad to say, what many have warned us about years ago, has come to pass even in Romania, the country that had suffered so much under four decades of communist dictatorship. They managed to replace one evil master, the communists, with another, the globalists/corporatists/statists.
At one of the empty truck stops and restaurants where we stopped for a soda, a southern Romanian was telling us how afraid people are of their children’s uncertain future, of their finances, and of the dwindling opportunities for success that seem to vanish more each day.
No sooner had Romanians freed themselves from communism in 1989 the European Union stepped in with their Fabian Socialism, bringing in lots of indoctrination and other demand strings attached to their financial help for the newly minted and impoverished EU state in dire financial need, Romania.
Dr. Savage warned us about liberalism as a mental disorder. European progressive liberals on steroids, with their failed multiculturalism, have influenced Romanian economics and politics so much that they are now well underway to global governance, an insidious and noxious control by a few elites poised to own the globe.
Romania now has the green party, environmentalism gone-amuck, school indoctrination into the cult of Gaia, destruction of national identity, revisionist history, Muslim and multicultural immigration, ignoring anything that identifies and ties Romanians to their culture and language, strange music, depraved and debauched fashion and behavior, drugs, replacement of perfectly good Romanian words with English neologisms, brainwashing of the population by the church into blind submission to the statists, corruption at all levels, bribery of 5-15 euro for each vote, socialized medical care on a dwindling budget, and disappearance of the middle class which had emerged successfully after the supposed fall of the communists in 1989.
A few conservatives, like ignored Cassandras, have lectured listeners who cared to pay attention about the out-of-control immigration and all the hallmarks of the new world order that is taking over like a metastasized cancer every facet of our lives in the U.S. and across the globe.
Unemployment is high, inflation is escalating, jobs are not created, politicians make empty and dishonest promises to the voters, contracts and companies are moving overseas, young people seek jobs elsewhere in the European Union, no big time corrupt politicians are going to jail, and there is a feeling of hopelessness for the future of their children.
I was saddened to see in Romania the same elements of global control, despair, and welfare dependency we see in the U.S. today. The church supports statism and the hoax of global warming packaged as the climate change industry worth trillions of dollars. Even the Pope is now a climatologist and anti-gun lobbyist.
But there are some important differences. Romanians are very proud of their beautiful country. The Romanian flag is patriotically flown on every building and on every summit. Everybody speaks fluent Romanian if they want to become citizens. No ballots come in any other language and no translators are necessary or provided by the government for welfare services.
The border is safe and secure and one must have a valid passport to cross it. There is no stoked racism and bigotry every day from the administration in power. Nobody wants to disarm Romanians and certainly not their government. If the population learned anything from an embattled and painful history is that disarmed citizens become hopeless slaves to their government masters in power.
Freedom of speech is safe for now. There is no liberal-imposed political correctness that stifles and prevents freedom of speech, nor are there academic corners dubbed “free speech zones.” Academics as a group love their country and students still have free exchange of ideas at the university. People who disagree with progressives are not labeled haters and terrorists and their lives are not threatened. The Constitution is safe and does not operate side-by-side with Sharia Law. Immigration is legally permitted within the bounds of “how does it benefit the Romanian people.”

Sorry, stoners: New study shows ‘medical’ marijuana doesn’t actually help with anything
Which, of course you all knew, since you only pretended to think otherwise so you could get high without the pigs harshing your mellow.
Sorry, stoners: New study shows ‘medical’ marijuana doesn’t actually help with anything
Honestly, if you ever believed the nonsense that marijuana was “medicine,” you probably don’t have the brain capacity to process the information I’m about to give you. Then again, there’s dumb and there’s willfully delusional. You can have the ability to know better, but choose to embrace nonsense anyway because you want so desperately to get high.
I’d say that still makes you an idiot. Just that you’re an idiot by choice.
At any rate, you know that “medical” marijuana was sold as something desperately needed by the old and the sick suffering from cataracts and glaucoma. In reality, most of the cards approved by doctors go to 25-year-old dumbasses who claim to be suffering from “chronic pain” and “headaches.” The doctors know it’s a scam too, but they don’t care. They figure the public is sufficiently sold on this scam, and many of them probably like to get high too.
But it was only a matter of time before someone actually looked into whether marijuana can function as a medicine. And . . . uh oh:http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MED_MEDICAL_MARIJUANA_RESEARCH_5_THINGS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-06-23-11-51-43
Medical marijuana has not been proven to work for many illnesses that state laws have approved it for, according to the first comprehensive analysis of research on its potential benefits.
The strongest evidence is for chronic pain and for muscle stiffness in multiple sclerosis, according to the review, which evaluated 79 studies involving more than 6,000 patients. Evidence was weak for many other conditions, including anxiety, sleep disorders, and Tourette’s syndrome and the authors recommend more research.
The analysis is among several medical marijuana articles published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. They include a small study suggesting that many brand labels for edible marijuana products list inaccurate amounts of active ingredients. More than half of brands tested had much lower amounts than labeled, meaning users might get no effect.
Highlights from the journal:
THE ANALYSIS
The researchers pooled results from studies that tested marijuana against placebos, usual care or no treatment. That’s the most rigorous kind of research but many studies found no conclusive evidence of any benefit. Side effects were common and included dizziness, dry mouth and sleepiness. A less extensive research review in the journal found similar results.
It’s possible medical marijuana could have widespread benefits, but strong evidence from high-quality studies is lacking, authors of both articles say.
But wait, you say. There is evidence it works for “chronic pain”! The study says so!
Of course it does. The same morons who claimed to have “chronic pain” - which no one can prove or disprove - now claim the pot is making them feel better. In the meantime, when it comes to real, clinically recognized conditions, it does little or nothing to help.
That’s because it’s not medicine. And by the way, you know I’ve long argued that if stoners really want marijuana to be seen as “medicine,” they should let it go through the rigors of FDA testing like every legitimate pharmaceutical product. That’s when they always start railing against the corruption of the FDA and so on. Why do they do that? Because they always knew that if anyone ever really tested it, they would find what this study found.
It’s not medicine. It does nothing. This was all a scam from the beginning.
And you can save your anecdotal retorts because I don’t believe a single one of you. You’ll say whatever you think you need to say so you can keep smoking weed, and you really should think about how pathetic that makes you.

Sorry, stoners: New study shows ‘medical’ marijuana doesn’t actually help with anything
Honestly, if you ever believed the nonsense that marijuana was “medicine,” you probably don’t have the brain capacity to process the information I’m about to give you. Then again, there’s dumb and there’s willfully delusional. You can have the ability to know better, but choose to embrace nonsense anyway because you want so desperately to get high.
I’d say that still makes you an idiot. Just that you’re an idiot by choice.
At any rate, you know that “medical” marijuana was sold as something desperately needed by the old and the sick suffering from cataracts and glaucoma. In reality, most of the cards approved by doctors go to 25-year-old dumbasses who claim to be suffering from “chronic pain” and “headaches.” The doctors know it’s a scam too, but they don’t care. They figure the public is sufficiently sold on this scam, and many of them probably like to get high too.
But it was only a matter of time before someone actually looked into whether marijuana can function as a medicine. And . . . uh oh:http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MED_MEDICAL_MARIJUANA_RESEARCH_5_THINGS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-06-23-11-51-43
Medical marijuana has not been proven to work for many illnesses that state laws have approved it for, according to the first comprehensive analysis of research on its potential benefits.
The strongest evidence is for chronic pain and for muscle stiffness in multiple sclerosis, according to the review, which evaluated 79 studies involving more than 6,000 patients. Evidence was weak for many other conditions, including anxiety, sleep disorders, and Tourette’s syndrome and the authors recommend more research.
The analysis is among several medical marijuana articles published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. They include a small study suggesting that many brand labels for edible marijuana products list inaccurate amounts of active ingredients. More than half of brands tested had much lower amounts than labeled, meaning users might get no effect.
Highlights from the journal:
THE ANALYSIS
The researchers pooled results from studies that tested marijuana against placebos, usual care or no treatment. That’s the most rigorous kind of research but many studies found no conclusive evidence of any benefit. Side effects were common and included dizziness, dry mouth and sleepiness. A less extensive research review in the journal found similar results.
It’s possible medical marijuana could have widespread benefits, but strong evidence from high-quality studies is lacking, authors of both articles say.
But wait, you say. There is evidence it works for “chronic pain”! The study says so!
Of course it does. The same morons who claimed to have “chronic pain” - which no one can prove or disprove - now claim the pot is making them feel better. In the meantime, when it comes to real, clinically recognized conditions, it does little or nothing to help.

Why Do We Ignore the Obvious?
Why Do We Ignore the Obvious?
I have a hard time with people not being willing to recognize what’s obviously in front of their faces. It’s a voluntary mind game people play with themselves to justify whatever it is they think they want. This is massively exacerbated by an array of social engineering tactics, many of which are to create the very mind sets and desires people so adamantly defend.
But that’s no excuse for a lack of simple conscious recognition and frankly makes absolutely no sense.
We can’t blame these manipulators for everything. Ultimately we all have free choice. Plainly seeing what’s right in front of our noses, no matter how well sold or disguised, is our human responsibility. That people would relinquish this innate right and capability totally escapes me.
The Handwriting On the Wall
Actually, it’s much more obvious than even that. Pointless wars costing millions of innocent lives, poisoned food, air and water, demolished resources, manipulated economies run by elitist bankers who nonchalantly lend money with conditions for “interest”, corporate profiteering at any cost to humanity, a medical system built on sickness instead of health, media mindmush poisoning children and adults alike, draconian clampdowns for any reason, and on and on.
Why is this not obvious to people that something is seriously wrong, and clearly intended to be just the way it is? Do they really think it’s gonna iron itself out, especially with clearly psychopathic power mad corrupt maniacs in charge?
That’s what they’ll tell you. “Give it time, we’re just going through a hiccup. Everything works out…” yada yada. Why? Because that’s what they want to believe. And the constructed world system is waiting with open arms to reinforce that insanity. And “Heck, if millions of others feel the same as me I can’t possibly be wrong.”
Fear of Drawing Conclusions
That’s pretty much the bottom line. Acceptance for seeming security. However, if even one of these inroads of control vectors becomes clear to people then their whole world threatens to turn upside down. When two or more start appearing then the discomfort becomes quite intense, and that’s when the decision takes place. Either they keep pursuing this line of awakened thought or they shut it down.
It’s all about comfort. And what a deceptive thing that is! Call it sleepwalking to oblivion or what have you, it’s endemic to today’s dumbed-down society. This is why the education system was their primary target since way back, conditioning humanity from childhood to not think analytically but to simply repeat whatever is in their carefully sculpted curriculum.
But most of all do not question authority.
We see this in the news cycle daily and how people react, or should I say don’t react. They’re taught that until the so-called authorities determine what really happened, whodunnit and all the rest, they’re not allowed to make any sort of judgement. No matter how obvious, whether it’s the “suicide” of a prominent whistleblower by several impossible gunshots to the head or clearly engineered false flag events, they won’t form a decision until they get the “signal” it’s OK to think that way.
The Cost of Cowardice
It’s not just infuriating but literally costing those very people, their children and the rest of us, our lives. We can only hold ourselves accountable for such cowardice. Each of us. Unless we stand up against it. And that is an individual choice, not a group one.
We each answer for ourselves. And once we do answer the call to wake up we take action. That’s the only rational response. We’ll tell others like there’s no tomorrow, because there may not be one if we don’t. We take appropriate action in our own lives first and move to prepare our loved ones for what may be immediate consequences of what we’ve realized is going on and how to avoid or mitigate it. We change our eating and buying habits, we re-evaluate our livelihood, personal attachments and living conditions.
All the while intelligently yet passionately sharing what we’ve discovered to be true and the possible consequences.
That’s called waking up. And it’s not comfortable. It’s a lot of hard work, and takes a lot of courage. But really we’re only acting in a responsible manner when we do so, simply doing what’s right. It’s not that big of a deal – unless our priority is how we appear to others, and keeping old patterns of behavior and possessions that we call “comforts”.
How misleading can anything be?
They say a rut is just a grave with the ends kicked out. I heartily agree.
Waking Up Is A Choice
No one can take away our right to choose. We can comply with circumstances or we can make our own path. We can be true to the truth at any time we choose, or we can go along with the deceit and cover up all around us and just get by, thinking that’s the way of self preservation.
Cover your ass, as they say. It’s insane to the core.
The irony is that that is the biggest lie of all. What happens to one happens to all. When innocents are being slaughtered, whether next door or in some far away land, those are our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. If we allow this inhumanity to man to flourish it will soon consume all of humanity at the hands of those who think they have the most to gain.
We live in such a world. We have to face it for what it is and respond. That’s the only conscious choice. Not in anger or fear, but in full awareness and an overwhelming love for truth and our fellow man.
It’s the only choice.
Choose – and act – wisely. Don’t shirk it. We all suffer as a result.
Know that to the bone…because it’s the Truth.

Anger
Anger
We all get angry. Even if we are aware of the harm it can cause, we often can’t help feeling it and in so many different ways — outbursts, irritation, frustration, forcefulness in opinions, glares, raised tones, curt responses, hurtful words, negative moods, and on and on it goes. We tend to use it because we get what we want, like the screaming child in the shopping center. But in my experience, there is a huge catch to anger in that it is ultimately a destructive influence on our lives and a big obstacle to genuine spirituality.
Destructive By Design
If you notice, when angry we tend to want to stomp things, force them, push or grab them. It’s ironic that we can even break the very thing we are trying to angrily make work. In the animal kingdom its purpose is to knock out whatever gets in the way of a desired outcome, and that takes force and destruction when met with a perceived resistance. This makes anger by its very nature a force of destruction.
So imagine then the destruction it can wreak on delicate things like the complex world of human relationships, and therefore on our lives. It becomes easier to see how destructive anger is when we remember being at the receiving end of it. Who wants to be around an angry person? Who dares bring up certain subjects or talk openly when an angry response is assured? And if someone is repeatedly angry or even abusive and insulting, the natural response is to feel hurt and emotionally withdraw.
Anger pushes people away so that we can force our way through, but how often do we see the hidden cost? Doesn’t it restrict the ideas and creativity that others can bring into our lives and that could have changed its course for the better? By shutting those out, we can instead take a negative track of decisions made in anger that narrow into an ever tightening and controlled circle of our own limited way of doing things, and this inevitably leads to increasing isolation and inward emptiness as we cut ourselves off from the input not just of others, but of life and the very universe itself.
Why Can’t We Just Stop Getting Angry?
So why can’t we just give anger up? Often it’s only afterwards, looking back once we have calmed down, that we see we got angry and wish we hadn’t. And yet along comes another circumstance and we get angry again; it can seem as if it will never go away.
Deeper Causes
Anger itself though is just the symptom of a much deeper cause, and unless this cause is understood, anger will always return. I liken the mechanism of anger to a blocked pipe. The pipe is the track of our desires, wants, opinions, plans and ideas. Through it flows our directed energy to a certain goal, like water. The blockage can be an object, a circumstance, person, or alternative opinion, which stands in the way. As soon as the blockage appears, what was once the unnoticeable flow of our desires, becomes a terrible pressure that starts building. This pressure creates a force upon the blockage, which, when left unchecked, increases to the point at which it has the required force to break through.
“When a man dwells on the objects of sense, he creates an attraction for them; attraction develops into desire, and desire breeds anger. Anger induces delusion; delusion, loss of memory; through loss of memory, reason is shattered; and loss of reason leads to destruction. But the self-controlled soul, who moves amongst sense objects, free from either attachment or repulsion, he wins eternal Peace.” — Krishna, The Bhagavad Gita.
You can actually feel this pressure inside as anger starts welling up, in response to an external resistance, in the area of the solar plexus (the center of emotion), causing increased heart beats and a shortness of breath as our body responds to the pressure it’s placed under. This pressure builds looking for a way to release — a raised voice, insults, subtle put downs, putting pressure on people, manipulative moods, creating a drama, emotional blackmail etc. — are all different ways this pressure looks for ways to break through to the point where we get our way, and feel soothed again as the pressure subsides and the flow of our desires continue on their way. Sometimes this takes just minutes with a nasty look, but other times it can last years, as hidden issues are psychologically wrestled over between people creating deep resentments and grudges making for a miserable life.
Taking the Pressure Off
Like a mathematical equation, the desire for reward, our opinion to be heard, to do something, achieve a certain goal or outcome, and even stop something we don’t want from happening, whatever it may be, is always followed by anger as long as obstacles appear; that’s just built into nature’s design.
Although the analogy of a pipe sounds more like physics, psychology also works upon universal principles of energy and matter. Anger is the inevitable result of following and being attached to the fulfillment of our own desires and wants. Often these wants may even be for a good cause (or at least seem like it) — yet even so, desire and its inevitable angry enforcement is always a destructive way of approaching life. We may win the argument, but the ensuing effects on our relationships and life path can be devastating.
It is hard to see the love, understanding, wisdom, learning, and opportunities we missed out on when we are totally driven toward and set upon our own wants at any one time. This is why detachment and removing desire is one of the most prevalent themes of the world’s great spiritual teachings on achieving inner peace and happiness. Even the desire for spiritual things can bring anger and frustration when these desires aren’t met.
“If you try to grab hold of the world and do what you want with it, you won’t succeed. The world is a vessel for spirit, and it wasn’t made to be manipulated. Tamper with it and you’ll spoil it. Hold it, and you’ll lose it.” — Lao-Tzu, Tao Te Ching.
Taking Part Without Taking Hold
So next time anger arises, it’s a chance to look inside and see what attachment and desire is really behind it, and like this we can get to know ourselves better and what it really is that drives our actions and therefore our whole life’s path.
If we can detach from events, this could bring about a radically different approach to living. As remarked upon by sages throughout history, the great flow of life and creation is a great mystery: can we take part in it, without trying to take hold? Can we do our duty, without wishing for anything more than what is already eternally present and immaterial? When we get angry, we make the great mistake of looking outside for our fulfillment, instead of in consciousness — the source of real peace and the spiritual we each have within that is not dependent upon external events going our way.
“The ego is a monkey catapulting through the jungle: Totally fascinated by the realm of the senses, it swings from one desire to the next, one conflict to the next, one self-centered idea to the next. If you threaten it, it actually fears for its life. Let this monkey go. Let the senses go. Let desires go. Let conflicts go. Let ideas go. Let the fiction of life and death go. Just remain in the center, watching. And then forget that you are there.” — Lao-Tzu, Hua Hu Ching.

Mankiller Money?
Mankiller Money?
A woman will be on the new $10 bill, bumping Alexander Hamilton aside. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew says he will choose the woman by year’s end, based on “input from the public.”
In one survey of the “public,” the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation, Wilma Mankiller, placed fourth. I understand the wish to counter sexism prevalent in early America, but “Mankiller?” The name alone probably reveals something about the attitude of some of those voters.
Fortunately, more voted for Harriet Tubman. Tubman escaped slavery to become a leader of the Underground Railroad, then repeatedly returned to slave territory to help others escape. Tubman would be a good choice. What’s more libertarian than helping people escape slavery and resist being governed without their consent?
But I feel bad about Alexander Hamilton.
He was courageous in the American Revolution, co-wrote the Federalist Papers that defended the new Constitution and helped put the new republic on a sound financial footing when it was deep in debt. He was a poor immigrant with an absent father who rose to advise George Washington and become one of the most important men in the nation.
Hamilton was also decent and fair-minded enough to singlehandedly stop a mob when it threatened to harm an unarmed Tory. In his spare time, he founded the newspaper New York Post, now headquartered a few floors below my office.
Hamilton biographer Ron Chernow, who opposes demoting Hamilton, argues that “Hamilton was undeniably the most influential person in our history who never attained the presidency.”
Before the talk of replacing Hamilton, the movement to put a woman on U.S. currency targeted the $20 bill. That would be a better choice. Andrew Jackson was a violent man who ignored a Supreme Court ruling and killed thousands of Indians by forcing them off their land. But the government says it’s not ready to replace the $20 bill.
Jackson opposed central banking, founded in the U.S. by Hamilton. So maybe there’s poetic justice in Hamilton getting pushed aside by the central currency-printing bureaucracy he helped create.
But none of us would have to fight about whom to put on currency if it weren’t all created and printed by a central government. Bitcoin is private currency that comes in many forms. People who prefer dogs as the symbol of their money can even use the digital currency Dogecoin.
Private currencies aren’t just a 21st-century novelty. Numerous banks used to print their own competing currencies. Contrary to the claims of John Kenneth Galbraith and other left-wing economists, private competition tended to prevent runaway inflation and deep depressions.
Economist Thomas Hogan writes, “There were 1,600 private corporations issuing banknotes and an estimated 8,370 varieties of notes” in the 19th century, while the U.S. economy “grew at an average rate of 4.4 percent per year [and] the price level remained roughly constant.”
The central bank known as the Federal Reserve was supposed to provide greater stability, but it didn’t. Just 16 years after the U.S. created the Fed, the Great Depression began. And since then, the U.S. dollar lost 96 percent of its value.
Since government can’t run the rest of the economy wisely, why let it be in charge of money itself?
The money printing that central banks love — to pay government’s bills and try to trick, er, stimulate the economy into greater activity — isn’t real wealth creation. It just means more pieces of paper float around representing the same amount of wealth. It distorts markets, creating things like housing bubbles, and eventually it will mean inflation. It also lets politicians think they can ignore our debt ($18 trillion and counting) and keep spending.
Let private currencies compete and not only will we be on firmer ground financially, but also everybody will be free to choose whether they want to use Tubmans, Hamiltons or Mankillers to pay their bills.
Some people want Eleanor Roosevelt. Some want Ayn Rand. A movement on Twitter wants Caitlyn Jenner on their money.
Great! Go for it. If we had private, competing currencies, all these options could coexist. Choice is always better than the government’s one-size-fits-all solution.

A woman will be on the new $10 bill, bumping Alexander Hamilton aside. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew says he will choose the woman by year’s end, based on “input from the public.”
In one survey of the “public,” the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation, Wilma Mankiller, placed fourth. I understand the wish to counter sexism prevalent in early America, but “Mankiller?” The name alone probably reveals something about the attitude of some of those voters.
Fortunately, more voted for Harriet Tubman. Tubman escaped slavery to become a leader of the Underground Railroad, then repeatedly returned to slave territory to help others escape. Tubman would be a good choice. What’s more libertarian than helping people escape slavery and resist being governed without their consent?
But I feel bad about Alexander Hamilton.
He was courageous in the American Revolution, co-wrote the Federalist Papers that defended the new Constitution and helped put the new republic on a sound financial footing when it was deep in debt. He was a poor immigrant with an absent father who rose to advise George Washington and become one of the most important men in the nation.
Hamilton was also decent and fair-minded enough to singlehandedly stop a mob when it threatened to harm an unarmed Tory. In his spare time, he founded the newspaper New York Post, now headquartered a few floors below my office.
Hamilton biographer Ron Chernow, who opposes demoting Hamilton, argues that “Hamilton was undeniably the most influential person in our history who never attained the presidency.”
Before the talk of replacing Hamilton, the movement to put a woman on U.S. currency targeted the $20 bill. That would be a better choice. Andrew Jackson was a violent man who ignored a Supreme Court ruling and killed thousands of Indians by forcing them off their land. But the government says it’s not ready to replace the $20 bill.
Jackson opposed central banking, founded in the U.S. by Hamilton. So maybe there’s poetic justice in Hamilton getting pushed aside by the central currency-printing bureaucracy he helped create.
But none of us would have to fight about whom to put on currency if it weren’t all created and printed by a central government. Bitcoin is private currency that comes in many forms. People who prefer dogs as the symbol of their money can even use the digital currency Dogecoin.
Private currencies aren’t just a 21st-century novelty. Numerous banks used to print their own competing currencies. Contrary to the claims of John Kenneth Galbraith and other left-wing economists, private competition tended to prevent runaway inflation and deep depressions.
Economist Thomas Hogan writes, “There were 1,600 private corporations issuing banknotes and an estimated 8,370 varieties of notes” in the 19th century, while the U.S. economy “grew at an average rate of 4.4 percent per year [and] the price level remained roughly constant.”
The central bank known as the Federal Reserve was supposed to provide greater stability, but it didn’t. Just 16 years after the U.S. created the Fed, the Great Depression began. And since then, the U.S. dollar lost 96 percent of its value.
Since government can’t run the rest of the economy wisely, why let it be in charge of money itself?
The money printing that central banks love — to pay government’s bills and try to trick, er, stimulate the economy into greater activity — isn’t real wealth creation. It just means more pieces of paper float around representing the same amount of wealth. It distorts markets, creating things like housing bubbles, and eventually it will mean inflation. It also lets politicians think they can ignore our debt ($18 trillion and counting) and keep spending.
Let private currencies compete and not only will we be on firmer ground financially, but also everybody will be free to choose whether they want to use Tubmans, Hamiltons or Mankillers to pay their bills.
Some people want Eleanor Roosevelt. Some want Ayn Rand. A movement on Twitter wants Caitlyn Jenner on their money.
Great! Go for it. If we had private, competing currencies, all these options could coexist. Choice is always better than the government’s one-size-fits-all solution.

Massacres and Magical Thinking
Massacres and Magical Thinking
The Urge to 'Do Something' After the Charleston Church Attack Inspires Half-Baked Proposals
“If Congress had passed some common-sense gun safety reforms after Newtown,” President Obama said on Friday, “we don’t know if it would have prevented what happened in Charleston.” Actually, we do know: Had the bill to which Obama was referring been enacted, it would not have stopped Dylann Roof from murdering nine people at Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church last week.
Obama’s comment reflects the magical thinking that horrific crimes like Roof’s seem to invite: If only we had adopted Policy X, this might not have happened. That tendency — driven by the understandable desire to “do something,” as Obama put it — is most conspicuous among supporters of gun control but is not limited to them.
Obama was talking about legislation proposed following the December 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. — in particular, “reforms that 90 percent of the American people supported,” meaning expansion of the background check requirement for gun buyers to include sales that do not involve federally licensed dealers. But as CNN reported the day of Obama’s remarks, Roof bought the .45-caliber Glock Model 41 pistol he used in the church attack from a Charleston gun store, which means he passed a background check.
There is no reason to think he wouldn’t, because Roof apparently did not have a criminal or psychiatric record that would have disqualified him from owning a gun under federal law. Although he was arrested for illegal possession of Suboxone, a schedule III narcotic, in February, the misdemeanor charge was not enough to bar him from buying a firearm.
If Roof used Suboxone without a prescription, that would have legally disqualified him from owning a gun, because federal law excludes anyone who is “an unlawful user” of a controlled substance. But a gun dealer would have had no way of knowing about Roof’s tastes in psychoactive chemicals, because the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System does not track people’s drug habits — a good thing, because otherwise anyone who has recently consumed cannabis (even in states where it’s legal) or used someone else’s prescription medication would be stripped of the right to own a gun in practice as well as theory.
In short, “universal background checks” make no sense as a response to the Charleston attack. Then again, universal background checks made no sense as a response to the Sandy Hook massacre, the perpetrator of which used a rifle legally purchased by his mother and in any case did not have the sort of criminal or psychiatric record that would have legally barred him from buying a gun on his own.
Gun controllers like Obama were not the only ones tempted by magical thinking after the Charleston massacre. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., whose voting record earned him an A from the National Rifle Association, suggested such crimes could be prevented by “just being able to track people — put them into systems where they can be deterred or stopped.”
Surely Roof would have been stopped by this imaginary surveillance system, Graham said, because “I bet there were some indicators early on that this guy was not quite there.” But odd people with eccentric or extreme ideas, even odd people who drunkenly spout off about starting a race war, far outnumber mass murderers.
Monitoring everyone who is “not quite there,” therefore, is not a very practical approach, even leaving aside the implications for civil liberties in a free society where holding abhorrent beliefs is not supposed to be a crime. As Graham conceded, “it’s very complicated in a nation of 300 million people where you have freedom of movement and freedom of thought.”
Similarly, Obama fantasized in an interview last week about “some common-sense stuff” that respects the right to keep and bear arms yet “prevents a 21-year-old who is angry about something, or confused about something, or is racist” from “going into a gun store” and buying a weapon. Don’t worry: The details will be worked out later.

What We Can Do Now to Save America
What We Can Do Now to Save America
Last night I attended a Tea Party meeting. The speaker was an angry, well- informed woman who talked to the members about immigration problems and how things should be. She had some new information about the role of Mexican drug cartels in various aspects of immigration lawlessness.
What I heard, for the most part, was repeats of the things I have been hearing and opposing for the past three or four years. Defining the problem over and over again.
What struck my hot button was that there were no real direction or solutions offered. Just more of the “we should do this or that” depending on those politicians and bureaucrats who are the lawless ones. It will never happen.
So, what can we do? What must we do?
It is up to you and me. If you feel strongly about saving our country, form or join a group that feels as you do. My bet is that you have friends who feel as you do. There is strength in numbers, and courage as well. Have a program. A part of that program should be to have fun together. Whatever the group likes to do. Part of what I suggest is that the group should be “in the face” of legislators. Make examples of weak ones and show all the others what it is like to be the target of the will of the people. Then go to the next, and the next and the next. Help others form and organize in-the-face groups.
We have a lawless government. We have a right, or more accurately, according to the founding documents, a responsibility, not to comply with unconstitutional laws and regulations. To “throw off” tyrannical government.
The Constitutional Sheriffs Association can supply guidelines on what is or is not constitutional — lawful. Finding those laws and regulations that citizen action groups can systematically refuse to comply with. I believe that the starting point will be the right to own and bear arms. The Constitution has specific and irrefutable rights set forth in the Second Amendment.
A second area which individuals and groups can be most effective is avoiding giving business to any employer who employs illegals or does business with companies with illegal employees. Active American groups can have their member so research and develop lists of approved companies. When offending companies return to an all-American payroll, they will become suppliers to America again.
Yes, there are answers. And, those answers are centered in the public. More specifically, in you and me. We have to make it happen. If I seem to be repeating myself, it is only for emphasis. We need to avoid the traps of political correctness that are set for us all along the way.
It’s probably easier than you think. Using the rule of law as a yardstick for one dimension, and the Ten Commandments as another. We measure things as to whether they are right or wrong. Clarence Thomas' grandfather said, “There is right and wrong in every situation and you must choose what is right.”
I have found it a good measure when looking at local politics. I have found choosing the right way to be very successful. Like telling the truth all the time, you don’t have to remember who you told the last lie to. As long as you stick with the truth you can come out on top. With what is right, you can hold the compromising politicians' feet to the fire. So, find strength in numbers with other active Americans.
If you do this in force, you can usually win in he long run. Finally, think more in terms of ultimate rights rather than agenda rights. Our Declaration of Independence talks in terms of God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. God-given rights. Politically correct rights are man given, change, and always are given at the price of some God-given rights of others. Go with God. And make going with God and the rights he as given us a part of what you do. Your partner will guarantee that you will win.
Summary
First, pledge to be a part of saving America. Form or be a part of a group, large or small, of folks who believe as you do. Strength in numbers. Always find a way to have fun. Find a way to be in the face of the politicians every chance you get. Don’t let them forget you are there watching them. Don’t comply with illegal laws and regulations. Always do what is right, not what is politically correct. Use the constitutional Rule of Law and the Ten Commandments as your measuring sticks. Finally, ensure that each person retains the God given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness by opposing any movement that would stand in the way of those rights for any American.
See how easy that is — to know what to do. Facing the consequences dealt out by the lawless is another thing. Plan for it.
