Prayers For...


The subject is sensitive for many...especially here on this site.

With this subject...the conflict in The Holy Land between The Children of Abraham...well, it brings much emotion and heart to the surface of Our Humanity...of which I am one who puts alot of fervor and vinager into it.

I guess I should pray more...as much as I write thoughts concerning the Peoples of The Holy Land and the tragedy of the useless war that just took place in Gaza.

I should pray for peace, justice and healing in Gaza and The West Bank for the Palestinian Peoples.

I should pray for peace, justice and healing within the borders of the political state of Israel for the various Jewish Peoples, the Palestinian Peoples and the foreign nationals who live there.

I should pray for the healing of all those wounded in war in The Holy Land.

I should pray for all those killed in war in The Holy Land.

I should pray for the little ones forever hurt, wounded and injured in The Holy Land.

I should pray for families and individuals in The Holy Land.

I should pray for religious leaders within The Holy Land...be they Christian, Jewish and Muslim.

I should pray for the various political leaders within The Holy Land.

I should pray for the political leaders outside The Holy Land whose actions affect those that live there.

I should pray for the reconstruction, rebuilding and revitalization of Gaza after this terrible and senseless war.

I should pray for the Peace of The Holy Land.

I should ask for the prayers of the Faithful that I can approach this tragedy with a peaceful and loving heart towards all The Peoples of The Holy Land...and in this express the truth...the need for justice...the need for understanding...the need for knowledge...the need for healing...and the need for a real, true and realistic peace.

Pray for Christians, Muslims and Jews of The Holy Land.

Pray for The Children of Abraham...Hebrews and Arabs...that they who live on each side of Abrahams Tent...will come inside for the cup of peace.

And I an unworthy sinner ask for your prayers.

An Apology


Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In the previous postings I have expressed my sincere frustration, hurt, sadness, dismay, and outright anger towards the carnage, death and destruction that has been unleashed time and again against the Palestinian Peoples of Gaza and The West Bank and the Peoples of Lebanon by the government and miltiary forces of the political state of Israel.

While there is much feeling in emotion and words...they do not...I must say...reflect any hatred towards the Jewish Peoples...my words are not Anti-Semite...they are Anti-Israeli Policy and Action...they are against oppression and injustice that is the result of such.

I am aware that in both the Palestinian and Israeli Communities, there are those whose ideals are as extremely deadly, and are equal in a hate filled hate. Certian elements in both groups are guilty of death and destruction and have upon their hands...the Blood of Innocents.

I hope oneday that the moderates on both sides of Abraham's Tent will find a realistic and workable peace to where Arabs and Jews can live together as Cousins should. There are the "War Lords" on both sides and abroad who wish to keep this conflict perpetual.

Innocents Suffer In Gaza


The political state of Israel is killing civilians in Gaza, a land sealed into a prison with fences, razor wire, camera points...a land sealed off by land, air and sea...an Open Air Concentration Camp...

...the Israeli's are conducting military operations that are killing innocent civilians...and the World...and UNFORTUNATELY...my own country sits by and does nothing to halt Israel's mass murder against the Palestinians of Gaza...

...the human toll is that of an out right massacre of civilians...

...let one Israeli child die...and one Israeli adult die...and one IDF soldier die...

...and it's called a "The Holocaust All Over Again"!

...let over 300 Palestinian children die...let 400 Palestinian adults die...let 200 Palestinian militant fighters die...

...and it's called "Collateral Damage"...

...and it's called "Israel"s Survival"...

...and it's called part of "The War on Terror"...

...and it's called "Acceptable"...

...IT IS ALL A HOLOCAUST!...

...when an Arab child dies...

...when a Jewish child dies...

...when an innocent civilain dies...

...and when a warrior dies...

...IT IS ALL A HOLOCAUST!...

...the death of a human being is a tragedy and loss for all of us...

...but when a People are targeted for Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide...

...when a People are placed literally into an Open Air Concentration Camp...

...when a People are victim to Mass Murder...

...then it is Humanity that suffers Holocaust...

...it is Humanity that loses Civilization...

...it is Civilization that loses Humanity...

...and it is a Holocaust of Humanity and Civilization...

...then let those who support this, take their Jewish and Christian Scriptures and lay them on the Funeral Fire of This Holocaust...

...for their support, blindness, deafness and silence is the flame that burns Their Scriptures and Their Humanity...

...for they did not protect the Innocents Sacrificed to The Golden Calf of Zionism...

...for they did not see the slaughter, hear the cries nor cry aloud against this flame of hateful death...

...and they are left...looking into the Eyes of The Innocent Dead that lay amongst the ashes of This Holocaust of Palestinians...

...God Have Mercy Upon Us All!

Gaza...Turn The Page


A New Page For The Israelis...

...and it is entitled...

...Policies and Actions Diabolical!...

...a page that tells of death and destruction...

...of an never ending humanitarian crisis of epic scale...

...a story that cries aloud with the funerals and lamentations of innocents lossed and their loved ones...

...a tale of a land held captive...a land held hostage...

...and now...

...of land invaded...

...Gaza and its People...

...the sufferers and victims...

...victims of

...the policies of the Political State of Israel has been for some time to lock down the Gaza Strip and block land, air and sea access. Limiting with great descrimination as to what supplies and relief aid enters. Israel has created a literal Open Air Concentration Camp that greatly out mimics the Ghettos created by the diabolical Nazi's during World War II. This has created an unimaginable humanitarian crisis that defies Civilization...

...and now...action...military action upon a civilian community...a Blitzkrieg Invasion of Gaza...first air assaults...and now the land assault with continued air strikes...with both tactics resulting in a nauseating civilian casuality count...and compare the ratio between casualities between each community...

...look at the Innocents!...see the civilians!...

...look into their eyes and know!...but yet...not know!...

...a disease of collective blindness on part of supporters of the Policies and Actions of Israel's...be it within the Government of The Political State of Israel...and the Zionist Movement within other Lands...especially here in America...a Land vowed to the Equality of All Peoples...but with this Movement, be they Jewish or Evangelical Christian or the secular Political Apparatus...their eyes are scaled over with a Hateful Hate towards Palestinians, Lebanese and all Arab Clans...you know!...Children of Abraham...descendents of Ishmael, you know, the guy loved by God...the kinfolk to Jethro and descendents of Zipporah, wife of Moses...YES!...these Arabs are NOTHING in the Diabolical Senses of Zionism...and thus...they are Subhumans, Collateral Damage, Not Worth a Tear...the Diabolical Nazi's proclaimed the same towards the Jewish Peoples of Europe!...and yet...and now...elements within Israel's Government and Society and their Zionist Nurse Maids are exercising the same Brainwashing in some parts of the world's media...just as Joseph Gobbels proclaimed through his propaganda machine...

...and what is MOST disgusting...the SILENCE in The West, especially America, towards the Innocent Palestinians killed and maimed...BUT!...let one Israeli civilian be injured or killed!?...and The West and America cries "Holocaust" and "Genocide"!...

...ANY Innocent killed, be they Arab or Israeli is an evil as the blackest of black...a Holocaust and Genocide in each person killed...

...the Ethnic Cleansing and The Confiscating and Stealing of Deeded Land is Israeli Policy...

...an Ethnic Cleansing within an Open Air Concentration Camp is called Gaza!...

...but the so called Free Media and Press must bow down to the Sacred Cow of Zionism and not upset the Diabolical Beast that dictates as to what is reported...especially here in the U.S.!...shame be upon this fact! This Golden Calf will meet the same fate as the one at the foot of Mount Sinai!...and as it stands in arrogance and the foulness of its breath stinches the air we all breathe...

...The Zionist Policies and Actions of the Political State of Israel towards the Palestinian Peoples is what it is...

...Diabolical!...

...Lord God of Heaven and Earth, Have Mercy Upon Us All...

A Holy Land


Please Everyone...

...Please pray for the various and diverse Peoples of Georgia and Russia.

Please pray God's Peace to fall as a gentle summer rain upon this land.

Please pray for Holy Church in both Georgia and Russia. For the Patriarchs, bishops, priest and monastics. For the protection of all churches and monastaries and the sanctuary that these holy buildings provide for all peoples during this conflict. Please pray that the courageous leadership of both Patriarchs will bring about a peace seen in the eyes of the world as truly The Hand of God at work...thus giving hope in this old world.

Please pray for all the civilians. For those killed. For those wounded both physically, spiritually and psychologically. For those left homeless and those who fled the fighting, on both sides.

Please pray for the military and militia personnel. That they may exercise mercy and target only military objectives. That they will exercise their skills for survival. For the wounded soldiers. For those killed in action. For the military leadership on both sides.

Please pray for political leadership of both nations. For wisdom, understanding, mercy and the need to end this fighting and to recognize those influences, be they on the outside or within that breathe of perpetual war and the furthing dividing of the Orthodox World.

Please pray that those on the "outside" of this conflict...inparticular...The West will have a true and clear understanding of this region and it's peoples...and this will result in correct policies that will benifit ALL peoples of this...

...A Holy Land.

America Has No Choice


Republican Rightwing Facsism...Democrat Leftwing Liberalism...

...neither of these parties and their agendas are for the American Republic...

...for the American Constitution...

...for the American People...

And there on stage are politicians...

...not statesmen or stateswomen...

...just mouthpieces and cheerleaders for party agendas and ideologies...

...claiming themselves and and their words for the American Citizenry...

...but the rhetoric is hollow and shallow...digested over and over...

...with only keeping their balance of power...that of their parties...

...in place...so as to maintain their Royalty...

...and not that of We The People...

So-called Republican Conservatives...so-called Democrat Liberals...

...are neither serving America nor Its People...

...but the Iceberg that will sink Our Ship...

...Our Nation is in danger of sinking...and these self-serving politicians...

...have their lifeboats...

...and their arrogance...

...and they will be afloat but for a while...

...but the Innocents sacrificed for their Power...

...will cry aloud...

...that will produce a storm that their bloated lifeboats will not withstand...

...and they too, will drown in the misery their power...

...as did The Republic and The Citizenry.

A Fair Book


I just finished a book by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and it tells of the real situation on the ground in The Holy Land.

It is called, Palestine...Peace Not Apartheid.

Former President Carter presents the political, social and economic conditions of the Palestinian people. He writes of the current status of The Peace Process and its evolution and where it has stalled and where it could go. He speaks of the achievements of those on both sides who have strove to accomplish peace, and those who have been and are obstacles. Mr Carter also lays out a brief history of the current political, economic and military situation in this ancient land. In this book all the major players, both nations and individuals who have thus far affected the landscape. He tells the reader of his desire for peace in this land and of his work both as president and now as private citizen.

But it is very apparent that there are those in America and Israel that are afraid of a private citizen, and it reflects of their fear of the freedom of speech, which they claim to inspouse. He writes from the heart and without fear of the Extreme Right Wingers here in the America and Israel. Of course, the NeoCons have given him hell for writing this book and considers him blasphemous and treasonous against both God and Country...but I wonder which "country" they associate themselves with as "citizens"?...seems to me they are the ones with a question of loyalty...and as for the blasphemy...their making God in their own image is enough to amount to this accusation. Their attacks on Mr Carter and his book is not reflective of the freedoms they claim to defend. An oppostion to their sacred cow of zionism is apparently not included in our Bill of Rights and thus subject to a book burning. Former President Carters efforts to seek a true and realistic peace between The Children of Abraham echoes the words of Christ..."Blessed Are The Peace Makers"...and he humbly acknowledges all of those on both the Israeli and Palestinian sides who have worked for a foundation to peace. He does not boast in his writings. Mr Carter fondly tells of incounters with leaders and private citizens throughout his travels on the search for peace. He tells of his love for Holy Scriptures and his journey to learn of the Peoples of This Ancient and Holy Land.

Palestine...Peace Not Apartheid is a very educational read. Refreshing in the presentation of facts, figures, and personalities. And most importantly...

...of what is possible in The Holy Land.

It Must End!


It Must End!!!

America's "blank check" and "blind" support for the political state of Israel!

Last night I ate at an Arab restaurant here in Knoxville, Tennessee that is ran by Palestinian Muslims. Their pleasent hospitality and warmth made me think of their beloved homeland. Here in Knoxville there is a substantial Palestinian Community, both Christian and Muslim. Many of the Chrisitans have been here since the early 20th Century...as in my hometown of Middlesborough in Southeastern Kentucky where four Lebanese families settled in the late 1890's and their descendents still live in the area today. And in these Southern Mountains the descendents of Abraham live...and yet are still very much part of their Ancient Land...and I saw this in the eyes of a young Palestinian-American...

...and I thought of The Holy Land...of The Palestinian Peoples...of their situation...and being here...I cannot truly imagine what their experience is...

...and the feelings that do occur are that of saddness for loss of life and homes...

...of a very frustrated anger...

...of helplessness on my part...

...of wanting justice and equality...

...of anger towards the Israelis who jusitify their diabolical policies and actions with a religious-ethno-centric policy that results in ethnic cleansing and a racist hateful mindset...

...of a bewilderment towards my own nations policies in regards to both the Palestinians and Jewish Israelis, the Descendents of Abraham, and just how wrongly imbalanced it is...

...of heated anger towards the Israelis when they disregard innocent Arab lives in their attacks and collective punishiment on both Palestinians and Lebanese...which results in mass casualities and deprivations...

...of a confused aggrevation towards the various resistance and militant Palestinian organizations in their attacks upon Israeli citizens that result in the deaths of innocents...

...and finally the sense of being overwhelmingly dismayed, disgusted and disheartend at the hardened hearts and ignorance of the Zionist, both Christian and Jewish here in America...with their pure, blinded, bigoted hate driven agenda that results in a destruction...and calling it peace.

I must realize that the Jewish Peoples have suffered...throughout history...and in the 20th Century at the hands of the devilish Nazi's, the Jews of Europe suffered horrendously...alongside many of their Gentile neighbors...who seem to be forgotten in the telling of the story about the Holocaust. And there have been numerous innocent Israeli Jews who have suffered and died since the establishment of the political state of Israel in 1948 in the various wars with their Arab neighbors...but to exact the sorts of policies that certain elements in the Israeli government does...is akin to that of the those that have perpertrated genocide against the Jews...and when the Christian and Jewish Zionist here in America give support to this...and influence our government's leaders to create "Blank Check" and "Zionism At All Cost" policies that give logistical, financial and immoral support to Radical Zionism...then the destruction and blood of innocent Palestinian will appear on our hands...

...unless...

...we change our policies that will show a real balanced support to The Children of Abraham...

...to the Palestinian Arabs...both Christian and Muslims...

...and to the Israeli Jews and non-Israeli Jews...

...then a realistic peace is given root...

...and with a new approach by America...

...and exercising it...America will be able to nurture this realistic seed of peace.

Christians in The Middle East


Brothers and Sisters in Christ...

The situation on the ground in The Holy Land and Lebanon for our Arab Brothers and Sisters in Christ is at a critical mass.

The continued policies of the political state of Israel and its zionist supporters, both Evangelical Christian and Jewish here in the U.S., is creating a much difficult enviroment for daily living, economics, connection of family ties, and most importantly worship and access to the Christian holy sites.

Then there is the increasing hardline stance of particular Islamic elements and organizations in the area towards the Native Christians be they Orthodox, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Roman Catholic or Protestant.

Then what one sees is the suffering humanity of the Arab Peoples. This, with the world watching, some helpless and some participating through one sided, single minded, overpowering policies that affords luxury of a strength induced security for newcomers at the expense of a people who have historically had a "lifetime" on this sacred ground.

The Native Peoples of this Land are a vibrant, strong, cultured, and educated people. With the new arrivals overlooking this and their long presence with blinded eyes of idealism fostered on racism and ethnocentrism...the Arab Peoples...be they Christian or Muslim are sacrificed on the stone of a 'hateful hate'*.

And it is not just the Christians of The Holy Land and Lebanon that suffer in this ancient region. Whether at the bloodied hands of Extreme Zionism or Extreme Islam, I read today on the BBC of the conditions of Christians throughout the Near East. This story broke down the demographics of Christianity in the area. Here is the link, and hope that all will find it interesting and informative. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4499668.stm

The above article speaks not just only of the difficulties of Christians around The Holy Land and the particulars of their complex situation, but addresses the bewildering facts that drive present lives and futures of the various Christian populations in Southwest Asia. It points out in particular the rise of radical elements of Islam in Arab and Iranian society and how this plays in the direction of these Christians.

ALL the Christians in the Middle East need our prayers. This is The Birthplace of Our Faith. The fullfillment of the promise of the coming of Messiah, Al-Masih, The Christ...Our Saviour...He walked upon This Land...Emmanual...God With Us...as He is here in our lives...so too, is He in the lives of Our Brothers and Sisters in The Ancient Land.

Kosovo and America's Position


My country has made me ashamed due to its official stance over the Kosovo Region of Serbia. Just as the Clinton Administration had no knowledge of The Balkans, nor does the Bush Administration. In its typical superpower mentality, America has abandoned priniciple for a gain to benifit its own selfish interest, and thus sacrificing a nation that helped our pilots and those of other allied nations during World War II and would have proven an ally in the event of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe...and worst of all in the sacrifice...that of a Christian Nation to appease the Wahabist of Saudi Arabia. America...Repent!

The current policies of the U.S. is a throw back to The Cold War, as there are very powerful individuals in Our Republic's Government who still view Russia and its traditional allies as this "Great Boogey Man of The North" that "threatens" the political state of Israel and Western Europe. These individuals hold such sway and are swayed by the Evangelical Christian Zionist and their Jewish Zionist partners that if given the freehand of chance...they would launch an open war against Russia and to be honest with you...all of Eastern Christendom...just because it doesen't agree with the Enlightend Masonic Humanist West...so instead...these "masters" wage a sublime war against Orthodox Russia and those of Orthodox Christendom that challenge The Wests' Encroachment upon these Orthodox Lands.

Some may say this is not the case, not all in The West are bad, but look at some of the Children of Western Thinking...Humanism...Masonry...Zionism...WASP Mythology and American-British-Israelism...and see their goals for what they are...AntiChrist and Its Reign...this when the water boils away and the truth be seen.

These...my words are not against my country...they are against the mindsets and the powers at be who wish to accompany The Enemy on this road to the gate that they think will grant them supremacy over the world...be they are failing to see The Truth...and The Outcome!

Lord Jesus Christ, Have Mercy Upon All Peoples And All Nations.

Republic or Empire?


Is America turning into an Empire?

Is America abandoning The Republic?

Is America shredding The Constitution in a sublime and clandestine fashion?

Is America turning its back on True Freedom?

Is America doped up on The Opium of The People...self absorbing mindsets, sports, and entertainment?

Are The American People...We The People...willing to give up Freedoms for Security...a Security based on the Ideology of Liars?

Will The American People...E Pluribis Unum...Out of Many, One...willing to give Our Freedoms, Our Constitution, Our Government, Our Republic...

...over to Empire and The Diabolical Cohorts of Imperialism?

We The People Must Think!

We are a Republic...not an Empire!

The Essence of Our Republic is falling into the slumber a devilish lullaby sung by those who will destroy We The People.

And when We awaken...all that We are will have been stolen and destroyed.

And they will call it peace.

...a Nation of E Pluribis Unum...

...Out of Many, One...

...The Voice of The American People...

...this is what makes us truly Free...

...Our Voice is The Essence...

...the true essence of Our Republic's government...

...the Founding Fathers established a Government for The People and by The People...

...a Constitutional Republic.,.

...a Representive Democracy...

...that of We The People...

...pray fellow Orthodox Christians for Our American Republic, for the American People...The American Experiment...The American Ideal...that a people out of many peoples can govern themselves...to guarantee Their Freedoms...

...and this is CERTAINLY not guaranteed by party or agenda...

...but by the active participation of the citizenry...

...through being informed, voting, gathering to address issues, keeping our representives at all levels on the straight and narrow, questioning, dissenting, and protesting peacefully...

...by this We are Free...

...to be knowledgable of Our Government...

Citizenship...Not Politics


As a Citizen of Our American Republic, and as an Orthodox Christian, I feel a citizen of any nation is called to Citizenship, not Politics. While this is a common and easy word to use...Citizenship, like being a Christian, is not.

We are called to think as Christians, about who we are, where we were, and where it is we are going in our journey. It is the same with Citizenship, we are called to think for ourselves and to exercise ourselves in being participants in our society, not always following a party or agenda. It is in this republic that there is a Constitution that has been established for those before us, those now, and those to come, to exercise being an American, through the Freedoms guaranteed by this most important document. This participation has many avenues, voting, serving, speaking freely...whether amongst a few or in gathering, keeping abreast to the process of government, protesting, questioning, party activity, contacting those who represent us in all levels of government...and sometime calling them on the rug of their activities, and most important of all...thinking for oneself!

Some folks just aren't interested in Citizenship...sports and entertainment is far more worth their attention than the Nation...unless of course, it is like their team sports bandwagon...follow the others in cheers and hoopla's of what is popular in their like mindset...not using their minds.

I am first to point at myself when accusing with the finger...I don't always think, vote, serve, and participate as is the priviledge of being an American Citizen...a Citizen of The American Republic. And it is with such apathy on part of citizens that they loose their freedoms...and thus, The Republic falls, and The Empire emerges victorious...and the foulness of Tyranny arises as dark as the ashes of the smoldering Republic...and all is lost for the American Citizen...especially in this age of the power of mankind to use the ever shrinking world of technology.

We must think...act...and participate with the framework of Citizenship if Our American Republic is to survive.

Just as Orthodox Christianity gives us tools to live daily and to exercise the faith...

...so to does the Constitution of Our Government...the government of We The People.

America and Russia

It may behoove those in Washington to seek a REAL friendship and alliance with Moscow...

...we face a rising China...as the Russians have for centuries and still today, they are natural enemies...

...we face the Harabist of Extremist Islam...as the Russians have for centuries and still do today...ask those in Southern Russia...

...we have been looked upon with contempt by the Western Europeans since we became a nation...and they have always looked upon the Russians as uncouthed and barbarians...

...we are nation founded upon basic Christian principles by Christian people...and the Russians have undergone an anti-Christ persecution by the militant-atheistic-communist that resulted in over thirty million martyrs (a holocaust)...and Russia became a Christian Land in the 8th Century A.D....and Russia's Christians are facing persecution and attacks in Southern Russia...

...we both are space fareing peoples...

...we are both nuclear super powers...

...we both have the potent militaries...

...we have both been expansive empires...we went west...and they went east...

...we both are pioneers in science and technology...

...we are both Freedom loving peoples...tho, we express this in different ways...you just try to corral a Cowboy or a Cossack!!!...

...We Must Unite!

In The Land Of Cedars

The Peoples of Lebanon are facing another tumultous crisis...

...this time...certain militant Palestinians in the Palestinian Refugee Camp near Tripoli are lashing out at their neighbors, cousins, and hosts...the Lebanese...

...and the armed forces of Lebanon are having to fight when it has more pressing concerns...to maintain peace and stability amongst the recent political upheavels between rival political/religious factions...and to reestablish security and control of their land and air space along the UNIFIL troops after last autumns devestating and diabolical attacks by the political state of Israel...

...and what is really disturbing...is that the "Outsiders of Lebanons Problems"...Shia-Iran...the state of Israel...Al-Quieda...the Syrian Military-Intelligence Apparatus...and certain mindsets that adhere to the Christian-Zionist-Eschatology Movement here in...(yes!)...in Our American Government...these...are a disturbing factor in the stew that is Lebanons difficulties...

...and the only way is that prayer to the God of Abraham...The Creator and Ruler of All...can bring a true and lasting peace to this ancient land...

...and we here on Earth...whether inside or outside Lebanon...should work toward a real and common-sensed peace for Lebanon...and the only way The Outsiders can contribute to this achiavable goal...is by looking to that which will benifit ALL the Lebanese Peoples...Sunni Muslims...Orthodox Christians...Druze...Roman Catholic Christians (both Melkite and Maronite)...Shia Muslims...and the various Protestant minorities (leftover from colonial missionary efforts and current relief-missionary-organizations)...

...by this endevour by The Outsiders...and a cooperative movement amongst Lebanons factions...then the pathway can start and what is not can...can be...

...PEACE...

Greetings From A World Of Silence...

It has been quite a long time since posting anything here on the High Horse...

The High Horse has been out in the prairies of thought and contemplation...

And Just wondering...

Wondering about all that is happening on our blue-green-brown-and-white sphere that we call home...

Thoughts of why?...

Why all this is happening...

Neurons firing in all sorts of directions concerning the state of our species...

And the miss-firings of this grey matter when the truths hit as a rainstorm in my own night of finding my way...

With voices in the rain dancing on my window seal...

And I stand there...

Soaking in the truths of raindrops...

Falling upon me and making there way to the pavement...

Reflecting the street lights in all directions...

In front of timeless structures...

Being built but not long ago...

The rain reflecting their past and future...

And standing there I can see only this reflection...

Of my thoughts in this sustenance of life...

And the timelessness of it...

The answers, to find in them...

As being one with this echo of it...

Eyes raised to The Heavens...

Piercing the clouds through which...

Reflections of me standing there...

This time in The Heavens...

Looking back at this moment...

And there...

The Answers...

Being Of The Cosmos

A Few Ogalings

The Palestinians have found a good weapon in defecting an Israeli airstrike...and it must be said that the Israeli approach to call ahead of an airstrike is very humane...and the Palestinians protecting their own is very human...may these cousins throught the Patriarch Abraham find a true peace in each other by the power of The Lord Almighty.

Just maybe, Our Nation will change the course in Iraq...and find a peace with Heavens Help.

And maybe the American People will stay awake for the ongoing political process called a represented democracy...or the essence of the republic will lull away to an endless sleep.

May the NeoConservatives find change in their ideas of true freedom.

May the Extremist Liberals find the truth concerning the American Way.

May the American People find the truths of world history thru a path of discovery...and that America is not the only good nation on our little planet.

May The Creator and Ruler of All protect Our Troops and the innocent Iraqi peoples and all innocents the world over.

And may the American Government...Our Government...find it in their hearts and Our Voices to apologize to the First Americans and BEG for forgiveness.

And may all mankind find a real sense of thanksgiving in their hearts.

Alot of thinking...


...actually too much time thinking...

...and these thoughts fly about in my head...bouncing from wall to wall...

...and sometimes settling for a moments peace...

...then off to flying about...

...only to give birth to new or add to old...

IT'S BEEN AWHILE...

...So here's a continuing with my rambled-ridden-mispelled-shoutin's!

...you know America will stand before The Judgement Seat Of God Almighty...and she will tremble...

...absolute truths mean nothing in Our American Society...it's a free for all frenzy of desensitized-information-overload of reaching out for "something"!...

...and finding nothing!...

...under the banner of "FREEDOM" do all shout...

...but only to drown out realities and truths...

...screaming "FREEDOM!"...it ebbs away...stolen...forgotten...apathetically placed on a dusty shelf...

...with one day the Citizenry crying out..."what happened?!"..."not us!"...

...then...with a realization...it will shine to all!

Neo-Conservatives are nothing more than Christian-Zionist who seek to turn America into a Theocratic Fascist Empire.

They are enemies of Our Constitutional Republic and wish to destroy Our Represented Democracy.

According to them, questioning or protesting the Bush Administration and its NeoCon cohorts in "Our" Congress, their political and religious views, policies, and actions amounts to treason, is against their ideas of freedom, unpatriotic, unAmerican, and those who freely express themselves can either love America or leave it!...which is one of the most stupid-assed things that I have ever heard...better yet they would love to place those who dissent on "Our" Governments watch list...and one day maybe even placing these unAmericans is prison. Their ideas are horrific shades of Authoritarianism and Toltalitarianism...guessing they have forgotten Hilter and Stalin.

They believe in giving a U.S. President unlimited powers...thus making Him or Her a Royal Dictator.

They will NEVER apologize to The First Americans for "Our" Governments genocide and ethnic cleansing. They are prideful, puritanical, stiff-lipped-and-necked WASPZ!

Their ideals of America are WASP mythology, and still fosters the ideas of "The White Mans Burden".

They view that America, Great Britian, and the state of Israel are the only nations that are on Gods side.

They feel that their Christian Zionist Eschatology is the only road, religiously, politically, and militarily to Heaven during The End Times.

They cry aloud from their rooftops...usually the roofs of their Churches...Zionism at all costs!

They are very anti-Arab, therefore, ANTI-SEMITE!, forgeting that there are millions of Arab Christians in the Near East, and that Arabs are Children of Abraham, and that Moses' wife Zipporah, Daughter of Jethro, was a Bedouin Arab, and that long before their barbarian ancestors in Northern Europe who were still painting their bodies blue, beheading their enemies with zeal, and worshipping idols...long before their ancestors converted to Christianity...that millions of the Arabs were deeply entrenched in the Christian Faith.

They promote that making big money, unadulterated capitalism through the greed of corporations, and prosperiety theology are good Christian values.

They seem to hate Gods Creation, the enviroment, and poison it without any remorse.

They are anti-life, because they'll bomb and shoot the hell out of anyone who disagrees or stands in their way. Native Americans and Arabs can attest to this.

They feel that American Christianity is more related to the Early Church, than those historical and liturgical Churches that are still in their place of origin.

They enjoy and embrace secret societies that are bent on destroying the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Churches. Of course, secret societies replace liturgy with their own esoterical rituals...in other words...they have "mass" in their secretive dens of satanic worship.

They are still protesting against the Vatican and its influence in the Christian World.

They look at Russia still as this evil anti-God empire that will attempt to destroy America, the U.K., and Israel...forgetting...or not even acknowledging the Holocaust of 30 million Christians by the Communist behind the second "Iron Curtain". Of course most of these Christians were Orthodox and Roman Catholics...nominal Christians in their view, and acceptable collateral damage.

With their contemptious views of the Russians and their Slavic and Byzantine cousins. They convienently and publicly forget the real front line battles between Christendom and Islam in the Balkans and Caucasus Region. Kosovo, Southern Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Cyprus, The Holy Land, Lebanon, Egypt, Serb enclaves in Bosnia, and the Russian/European Christian population pockets throughout the former Soviet Republics in Central Asia. Here, Christians face Islamic Jihadist threats whether directly or indirectly. Here, in these "Christian Frontiers", bounties are placed on the heads of Orthodox Christian Priest, Russian soldiers are Martyred because they refuse to deny Christ The Lord and His Church. Here, Jihadist force normally peaceful Muslim populations to hate and attack their Christian neighbors they once lived peacefully beside. Here ancient Christian sites, Churches and Monastaries, are sacked, desecrated, and razed to the ground. Here, Christian populations are ethnically cleansed from the land. HERE, THE NEO-CONSERVATIVES IGNORE AND FORGET!

They also ignore Christians who are politically and economically on the Left...but are socially, morally, and militarialy on the Right to Center.

But...they certainly let you know what is best to ignore and forget. For their ideology is really politically correct..."We are Right! And you are damned and wrong!".

The Neo-Conservative, Extremist Right Winger, Theo-Political, WASP, Chrisitan/Zionist, will destroy Our Dear American Republic, and dismantle the Constitution and Our Represented Democracy.

May The Lord of Heaven and Earth, The Lord Almighty, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...Have Mercy Upon the American People and the American Nation.

DAMN THIS MADNESS!!!

I am so SICK AND TIRED of aggression of the 51st State of The Union!

And I am so damn sick of the White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant-Zionist-Disspensationalist-Evangelical-Christian "blank check support" to the 51st State, and the Bush Administration!

They call and refer to themselves and Israel as "Godly"...but just look at the casualties and destruction!

"Godly" my ass!

Look at the INNOCENTS!!!

Children, women, the elderly, young men!!!

KILLED AND MAIMED!!!...AND UNDER THE RELM OF HEAVEN, FOR WHAT???!!!

For the Zionist in Israel and the U.S.!!!...and the Evangelical Christian WASPZ!!!

Well both groups are doing Mephestopholeses' work!!!

DAMN THEIR ACTIONS TO THE DARKEST PITS OF HELL!!!

Just by fullfilling their own diabolical desires, are they dragging the world into perpetual war and madness...

Have the Jewish People suffered throughout history?...YES!...should the Jews protect themselves?...YES!...but has not the entire race of Mankind suffered horrible persecutions, whether based on race, clan, tribe, or religion?...YES!...sometimes certain portions of the Jewish People, their politics, and that of their WASPZ supporters really make for an arrogant and obnoxious concoction of digested onions, with an overbearing on their sufferings, as if no other peoples has felt such histories.

And I get so sick of "you can't criticize or say anything bad about the Jews or the state of Israel, if you do, then you are an anti-Semite!"...horseshit!...it's funny that anyone with pro-Israel feelings can call an Arab (Christian or Muslim) a "sandnigger", a "towelhead", or a "cameljockey" and get away with it!?...don't these ignorant belly-shuffling-bafoons realize that Arabs are children of Abraham?...that Moses' wife Zipporah, daughter of Jethro, was a Bedouin Arab...and that the Arab Peoples are Semite!?...and that ALL mankind is made in the image of He Who Is?!

May The Creator and Ruler of All...Father...Son...Holy Spirit Have Mercy Upon Us All

The Israeli military and government should concentrate only on Hizbollah targets...not the Lebanese people nor its fragile Syrian-free government. Israel is once again making life extremely difficult for the average Arab civilian. The U.S. and the International Community should press harder against both Israel and Hizbollah for an end to these hostilities.

The last statement...mmm...on Jihad...it being a scourge from above...

...think about it...the continious rise of Islam...the decline of Christianity in Western Europe as secularism and materialism rise to replace it...and in North America...Western Christendom slips very slowly away...

...in the Holy Land, the secular Israelis rule the day...with brute force...

...in the former East Bloc...well two things...while the ravages of communism is still being felt in the aftermath of its demise, wherein corruption, organized crime, poverty, and drugs affect those societies...the Holy Christian Faith is Rising as a Phoenix...these ancient Christian Lands are tasting their Christian histories...alive then...and alive now...and alive is the conflict between Christendom and Islam...the frontlines still in the Caucaus Region, Central Asia, and the Balkan Pennisula...the Russians, Serbs, Georgians and others combat daily the spread of Islam...and their fight is a fight for survival, a real war of defense...that is...well, to be expected...and allowed from above...because the Faith is threatened...

...in the West...it too, may be allowed from above...and the expectation is a bit different however...the Faith is not "directly" threatened...it's in danger from the flanks as it were...you see, the West is moving away from the Historical Faith, the Historical Bride of Christ...it embraces secularism and materialism alongside its "new" version and answer to Christianity, and its "Multiple Faced-Liberal-Interpret As You Wish-Zionist-Disspensationalilst-Christianity" that directs and influences the actions of individuals, organizations, and governments on the current road of history...

...with its own Christianity, and worldliness...Western Civilization...the material English Speaking World (WASPZ), and secular Western Europe is finding Islam striking as a "Scourge From Heaven"...just as Genghis Khan told the King of France in the 1200's of himself as he began the Mongol Invasion of Europe...and to the Europeans of the day...the Mongols were the Minions of AntiChrist unleashed upon The Holy Church and all of Christendom...they were The Tartars...The Devilish Horsemen...A Scourge From Above...

Again On The Israelis And Palestinians

Both sides have a right to defend themselves!

But Israel is killing and hurting innocent Palestinian civilians.

Remember the young ten year old girl on the beach who lost her familiy to an Israeli shell.

By attacking the main power facility in Gaza, the Israelis are destroying a normal life for the normal Palestinian, be they Muslim or Christian.

The Israeli soldier should be freed.

As INNOCENT Palestinians in Israeli prisons.

The U.S. should pressure BOTH sides, and have a more even-handed approach in it's policy. This is the problem for America, it's to pro-Israeli, it listens to the Evangelical Christians and the various Pro-Zionist Israel Lobbies.

The U.S. should value both Peoples of The Holy Land, and value the security of each.

...and the Hamas led government is too adding fuel to these fires...

...YES...the Israelis should defend themselves!...

...AGAINST MILITARY TARGETS!...not INNOCENT civilian populations!...

...the Palestinian Peoples have a RIGHT to defend themselves against the military forces of the state of Israel...and not INNOCENT Israeli civilians!...

...when INNOCENTS are killed...this creates A HATEFUL HATE...

...and both sides loose...

...and the world looses...

...MAY THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE CREATOR AND RULER OF ALL, FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT, HAVE MERCY UPON THE DECENDENTS OF ABRAHAM, JEWS AND ARABS (CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM) AND THIS LAND THAT IS HOLY...GOD WILL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS AND BLOOD FROM THESE SANDS...AMEN

THE RIFLES OF THE FIGHTIN' KENTUCKIANS HAVE RETURNED!

Last Sunday, the eighteeth of June, A.D. 2006, the Soldiers of Delta Company, 1st Battalion, of the 149th Combat Brigade of the Kentucky Army National Guard returned to their Native Land, their Families, and Friends!

These Citizen Soldiers served their Communities, their States, and their Republic for a year long deployment to Iraq. Stationed throughout the western provience of Al-Anbar, these American Warriors conducted operations with the 2nd Marine Division. Operations that put them in the heart of the infamous "Sunni Triangle". Combat patrols and security were their mission, and this they performed with only three injuries due to combat, one major, the others, minor.

These Men each had the distinguished "Combat Infantry Badge" awarded to them, an honor bestowed upon those who have experinced and know the meaning of war. With these badges of reality upon their chest, the patch of the 2nd Marine Division worn on their right arms, and smiles of happiness and relief, these Soldiers returned to a grateful Citizenry in Middlesboro, Kentucky.

The media from the surrounding area covered the homecoming as the Troops were escorted into town by police and fire department vehicles to await cheering crowds lined along the downtown streets waving the Stars and Stripes and holding up homemade signs. Once arriving at the arts center between the middle and high schools, the Soldiers off boarded the buses and ran to their family, friends, and strangers. With hugs, kisses, tears, slaps on the back, handshakes and laughter, the Guardsmen knew they were home! Then after everyone had gathered in the arts center, military and civilan officials welcomed the Boys home with the playing of Our Countrys' National Anthem and the Song of The Commonwealth, "My Old Kentucky Home" and with speeches that were to the point...gratefullness...gratefullness to their duty, their courage, and their honor to their country, state, community, and mission. A mission that saw combat, a mission that only they truly know of, one that we can not comprehend. But all those who gathered for this returning showed much appreciation with whole and thankful hearts.

Long ago, infantry units were known as "Rifles", and the term "Fightin' Kentuckians" has been applied in historical accounts and descriptions, movies, and the explination of the mindset of the independent, resourceful, rugged, and saavy freedom loving Kentuckian. It can and now should be applied to these Kentucky Citizen Soldiers.

Awhile Since A Posting

And some not so quick thoughts on one particular happening...

...Darfur...

...NOW?...it is good that the American public, activist groups, some of Our Statesmen and Stateswomen, international human rights groups here in the U.S., and those in the lime light such as actors and musicians are becoming more aware...but where under GODS Heavenly Realm has the U.S. Goverment...the Government of the American public...where have they been!?...

...ON THE SIDELINES...WATCHING ANOTHER GENOCIDE UNFOLD IN AFRICA...

...the last U.S. Administration, the Clinton Administration sat idley by as Hutus' slaughtered and massacared Tutsis' and DID NOTHING!...and since the "Slaughter of Darfur" began to unfold, the Bush Administration as repeated the same official approach...TO DO NOTHING!...waiting to see what the International Community will do...

...and besides...settling scores, seizing Iraqi oil fields, destablizing the Arab world for Israel, creating a launch pad in Iraq for future strikes against Iran and Syria, and appeasing the "Right Wing Christian Zionist and lets rush into the Apocalypse Bush/Cheney supporters"...these things are much more important than the saving of lives in Dafur Sudan...women, children, the elderly, and men...who just happen to be Muslim...BUT BLACK!...can't offend your buddies in the Royal House of Saud and their Wahabhist theocrats can you King Bush II and Arch-King Cheney?!...after all The House of Saud is the 52st State of The Union, the 51st of course being the State of Israel!...

...APPARENTLY PRIDE, WHORE OF BABYLON CORPORATE GREED, OIL, MISGUIDED RELIGIOUS VIEWS OF THE APOCALYPSE, THE BLANK-CHECK-SUPPORT FOR THE ZIONIST ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, AND THE APPEASING OF THE ISRAEL LOBBY HERE IN AMERICA...THESE ARE MUCH, MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE LIVES OF LARGE NUMBER OF BLACK MUSLIMS IN THE DARFUR DESERT OF NORTH CENTRAL AFRICA...

...ITS BETTER TO APPEASE THE MURDEROUS REGIME IN KHARATOUM AND THEIR JANJAWEED MILITIA THAN TO SAVE INNOCENT LIVES!...AND PREVENT ANOTHER HOLOCAUST...THAT IS RIGHT...THE WORD HOLOCAUST IS NOT JUST RESERVED FOR THE HEBREW PEOPLES OF THE 1940'S...

...ANY GENOCIDE IS A SACRIFICE OF HUMANITY, AND THUS A HOLOCAUST...AND THIS HOLOCAUST IN DARFUR IS JUST AS DIABOLICAL AS THE NAZI ATTEMPT TO DESTROY JUDAEOM...

...IN DARFUR...WHEN BABIES ARE TORN FROM THEIR MOTHERS ARMS AND THROWN INTO RAGING FIRES ALIVE...THIS IS HOLOCAUST...

...IN DARFUR...WHEN WOMEN ARE SYSTEMATICALY RAPED...THIS IS HOLOCAUST...

...IN DARFUR...WHEN VILLAGES AND LIVESTOCK ARE BURNED...THIS IS HOLOCAUST...

...IN DARFUR...WHEN MEN ARE ROUNDED UP AND SLAUGHTERED IN FRONT OF THEIR FAMILIES...THIS IS HOLOCAUST...

...in America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia...when we do nothing...this is Holocaust!...

...America and the International Community has the ability to stop this Holocaust!...

...Where are you America!?...and the rest of the world!?...

...May The Creator And Ruler Of All...Father...Son...Holy Spirit...

...Have Mercy!

The King has said it...2008...

...2008 a year that will see a continued U.S. Military presense in Iraq...

...and the next U.S. Government and president will have to decide on whether to withdraw and bring Our sons and daughters home, or continue Our Military presence there...and essentially deal with the chaotic situation in Iraq and the Near East...

...WASHING YOUR HANDS ARE YOU THERE PRESIDENT BUSH?!...

...I don't think there is enough lye soap in West Virginia to wash the blood of GI's and INNOCENT Iraqis' off the hands of President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Rice, and ALL the others of the current Administration and their supporters in the U.S. Congress, the oil corperations, the Evangelical-Disspensationalist-Christian-Zionist, and the Citizens of Our Republic who place the " W The President" bumper stickers on their SUV's glaring backwards at the world...

...this blood is forever!...

...lives have been lost...

...families have been destroyed...

...and for what?!...

...for profit?...YES!...

...for the security of the 51st State of Israel?...YES!...

...for the security of the 52nd State of The House of Saud?...YES!...

...for the gaining of Iraqi oil fields?...YES!...

...for the destabilization of the Arab World?...YES!...

...for a White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant(disspensationalist theology adherers)-Zionist Crusade in the Near East to usher in the events leading up to The Parousia, so they can "escape" the Tribulations, the AntiChrist, and the Beast, a "get out of jail free card" if you will?...and again, the answer is...YES!...

...to fullfill the NeoConservatives unadulterated, whore of babylon greed that is filled with hateful hate?...YES!...

...this blood is forever!...

...it is on their hands...and in their cup as they ride that steer!..

In these days of government surrveilance upon the Citizenry of The American Republic...

...I can only say...

...continue the dissent!...

...continue the dissent with the Executive Branch of OUR GOVERNMENT!...

...the American Republic belongs to its Citizens...

...it DOES NOT belong to King George II, Arch-King Cheney, Field-Marshall Rumsfeld and his war-architect General Wolfowitz, or any of the White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant-Zionist-Corperation Globalist-Secret Society-Theopolitical-AntiLife-Military Industrial Congressional Complex-Televangelist-Taxing-Right Winger-Neo-Conservatives!...

...NOR...DOES IT NOT BELONG to any of the Extremist-Anti Life-Zionist-Anti Chrisitan-Anti Military-Global Government-Taxing-Secret Society-Nature Worshipping-Politically Correct-Anarchy Loving-Arrogant Professorship Intelligenstia-Elitnik-Left Winger-Liberals!...

...OUR GOVERNMENT, that of WE THE PEOPLE, of OUR REPUBLIC...

...it BELONGS to the Citizens, The People of America!...

...and WE have POWER, WE have A VOICE, WE can affect POLICY!...

...and it is through the Legislative Branch on the Federal, State, County, and City/Town government level...

...it is also through the Free Press...WHICH MUST REMAIN FREE!...

...and through Freedom of Assembly...

...and through Freedom of Dissent...

...Dissension is NOT a sign of being un-American!...on the contrary...to BE an American is to Dissent against Tyranny!...it DOES NOT remove ones' patriotism...it only increases it!...for a True Freedom Loving Patriot of Our Dear Republic thinks for him or her self!...not letting the 'Party' or 'Agenda' think for us or our convictions!...The American Government belongs to The American People!...

...and it is kept alive through Citizen participation, thinking for oneself, voting at all levels of government, a real free press that questions all sides of the issues at hand, freedom to assemble to question and change if necessary, questioning OUR governments policies and those officials that work for us and represent us...

...and again...dissension through the means above will keep The Republic alive!...

...so...to those who monitor and conduct surrveilance upon The American Citizenry that are in no way affiliated with any domestic or overseas movements or governments...and are monitored just for their dissension with...in most cases...with the present Executive Branch of OUR GOVERNMENT...

...think...

...or shame will be upon your conscience for acting on behalf of Tyranny...

...Long Live Our Free American Republic!

In Our Dear American Republic we need Statesmen and Stateswomen!

The term 'politician' is an insult to Citizenship and Statesmenship.

We need here in Our Beloved Land men and women who love and care for the 'fragile ideal' of 'The Republic'...a land where The Constitution is the 'Rule and Law of The Land and its' People...We The People'.

A land where Freedom is real...protected...cherished...and understood by Its' Citizenry.

And the Citizenry exersises their Civic Responsibilities, Rights, and Privilages...so that The Republic maintains 'A Life, and Breaths the Freedoms of The People'.

We The People...and those Statesmen and Stateswomen who are The Voices of The Citizenry...The Represenatives and Senators in The Congress, Our state legislatures, Our county seats, and Our city halls can 'breath this life of freedom' by being 'alive in participation'...thus keeping The Republic away from Empire, and the death and destruction it brings upon the Land and People.

Long Live OUR Republic...

...and The Essence of it...

...WE THE PEOPLE...

SEVERAL THOUGHTS ON THINGS-AGOING-ON.

Iraq: On the verge of civil war between Shia and Sunni, we here in the U.S. and those around the world await. And in the meantime those NeoCons sons-a-bitches from the Administration down to the rich-SUV driving-living in a MacMansion subdivision-Armeggodonite/Evangelical Christian with "W The President" glaring backwards at the world...these NeoCons continue their push for their American-Zionist-NeoBritish-Corperate-World Empire at the expense of the lives of honarable brave GI's and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi children, women, the elderly, and men...and for what???!!!...their damndable-filthy-whore-of-babylon-greed, thats what!!!...these sons-a-bitches claim Christianity as their faith...and, as with all humans...especially Christians, we seek after Godly Truth...but their search is blinded with pure and unadulterated greed, and they don't give a damn about those 'subhuman' Arabs, especially the Muslims...and what of their Brothers and Sisters in Christ that are Arab?...collateral damage...they're Arab...and they're not Evangelical Christian Zionist..."they're 'Romish or Orthodox"..."not real Bible believing Christians"...again 'just collateral damage!'..."God loves America and the NeoBritish Empire because they love Jesus and Israel!"...such is the rhetoric of the NeoCon WASPZ...America and Britian are becoming less Christian everyday, and along with their humanist-secularist societies, their governments steeped in the age old secret societies that are openly hostile to the True Christian Faith...the governments of the U.S. and U.K. are very esoteric and again, humanist, secularist, and driven by an unadulterated greed that makes the 'whore of babylon' look to be a girl scout...and these characterist ideals are from the Evil One himself...this whole ideal of American-British-Israelism is from the darkest pits of Hell...it is racism through and through...the ideals of White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant-Zionist supremacy in the world to 'illumine' the uncivilized other half is a LIE from Mephestopholeses himself...these 'Anglo-Saxons' have forgotten their own barbaric pagan ancestory!...and they have remained just as bloodthirsty today as throughout history...but this is forgotten in the history books, eh!?...for history is written by the victors and liars...our own history for instance about the 'First Thanksgiving' between the First Americans and the late coming Pilgrims is a brandished falsafication by WASPZ historians...they don't tell of the Pilgrim-British-Colonialist campaigns of genocide and ethnic cleansing, do they!?...again, collateral damage!...how convienant for these acclaimed Christians to make such a claim for the 'Big Godly Picture' of their blinded worldview!...these cold-spirited-stiff-lipped-stiff-necked-fearful-of-showing-emotions-Puritanical-coin-counting-secretive-power hungry-whore of babylon-lying WASPZ!!!...both of yesterday and today!!!...and they still conduct the 'parade' here in America and Britian, with their Zionist step-children in the 51st state of Israel...ALL with innocent blood on their hands...do you think for one infinate moment that The Lord God Almighty, The Creator And Ruler Of All, He Who Fashioned Mankind In His Image; Red, Yellow, Black, White, and Brown...will let this go as 'collateral damage'!!!???...if we here in America wish not to face an apocalyptic destruction unlike any seen before that will be of our own reaping...then we should beg forgiveness from The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit...and those whose blood is on OUR hands...LORD HAVE MERCY!

We need to, as mentioned in an earlier blog, create a new U.N. Mandate on Iraq, which would authorize the deployment of a Multi National Observers and Stabilization Force of well over a 100,000 troops that would augment and help the American Forces in securing the Iraqi borders, infrastructure, civilian populations, religious sites (Shia, Sunni, Christian, and Jewish), economy, and the government (national, proviencial, tribal, city, and village)...once these stabilization operations are well established and working...then the U.S. can begin a 'Phased Partial Withdrawl' from Iraq proper...pulling out forces numbering 20,000 in increments every month...starting in June of 2006..to where by November 2006...there will be up to 100,000 U.S. Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen, and Army National Guardsmen returned to their homes and their Beloved Land. Then the U.S. will be able to maintain a force of 35,000 in Iraq proper from November 2006 till March 2007...followed by another 'phased withdrawal' 20,000 troops by August 2007...at the same time...The MNOSF can begin a 'Phased Limited Withdrawl' as the Iraqi military, security, and police forces, after intensive training and structuring, can take over full operations of their nations defense. America and the International Community have a responsibilty to the Iraqi people and their government...it is common sensed that America will have to maintain a military presence in Iraq for some time to come...to many GI's have died and been maimed to ignore this fact...and the International Community, especially the Europeans and the former Soviets have a responsibility because they kept up the pre and Hussein governments...and to let Iraq slide into a chaotic bloodbath of a civil war is...well...just plain barbaric as the bloodbath would be.

America Must Begin A Phased Limited Withdrawal...NOW!

We Must create a plan for withdrawing 100,000 troops from Iraq proper by the Autumn of 2006.

The U.S. must work towards securing a NEW U.N. Security Council Mandate that will open the way for a Multi-National Observers and Stabilization Force of 100,000 troops, a similar stuctured force that has been in the Sinai Pennisula since 1982. Such an International Force would be commanded by the Americans, but would include other nations in operational plans and decisions, again similarily to the MFO in the Sinai.

Maintain a force of 50,000 in Iraq proper for a 'determined time frame', till for instance, under favoriable conditions in the summer of 2007, a second withdrawl of 20,000 U.S.troops then followed by a 'near complete' withdrawal of 20,000 U.S.troops by the Winter of 2007-2008. And as time passes and conditions improve, MOSF troops can be drawn down as well. Common sense will tell us that the U.S. and the International Community have to maintain assistance to the Iraqi government, police, and military for some time into the future, and maintain a U.S./Multinational military presense for years to come to stabilize the Tigris-Euphrates Region.

Maintain a U.S. Quick Reaction Force of 7,000 in Kuwait.

Maintain a Multinational Quick Reaction Force of 5,000 in Kuwait.

Maintain a U.S. Operational Support Force of 5,000 in the Persian Gulf.

Maintain a Multinational Operational Support Force of 2,500 in the Persian Gulf.

Maintain a U.S.Rapid Response Force of 5,000 in Australia and the Indian Ocean Region.

Maintain a U.S. Rapid Response Force of 2,500 in Europe.

Maintain a European/Nato Rapid Response Force of 3,000.

Request that the Russians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, Georgians, Armenians, and Azerbijianis to maintain a Rapid Response Force of 3,000.

Maintain a Large U.S. Naval and Marine Corps presence in the region.

With this Near East Force Structure, the U.S. and the International Community will maintain a balance of power that will counter any 'real' threat to this important region.

MR CHERTOFF!...BUILD UP THIS WALL!

These are words that I believe all American Citizens would like to SCREAM aloud to the Secretary of Homeland Security and OUR Federal Government!

With more coverage on Mexican military and police incursions across this INTERNATIONAL BORDER into OUR Land should be the last straw in a debate that already has a solution...BUILD and ESTABLISH a 'clear and visible' border with the Republic of Mexico.

Mexican troops and law-enforcement personnel 'venturing' into the U.S. is no accident as Mr Chertoff has indicated, ask U.S. Border Patrol personnel, sherrif deputies from counties that border with Mexico, and ranchers and farmers whose properties border Mexico, ask, and they will tell you the truth!...this truth is that these employees of the Mexican government are helping in the trafficing of illegal aliens and illicit drug smuggling...AND THIS IS THE OBVIOUS AND SIMPLE TRUTH!

And the obvious and simple solution to this CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to the U.S. and Her Citizenry is this...BUILD AND ESTABLISH a 'clear and visible border' with Mexico!...SECURE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER UNCLE SAM!

People may ask the age old question...how will you pay for it?...OUR Federal Government waste OUR TAX DOLLARS annually on useless projects that fill some fat-cats pocket book...whether that fat-cat is a politician or some greedy opportunist...and whether it is a pork-barrel project or not...OUR REPRESENATIVES waste OUR hard earned taxed income!...and it's time they...OUR REPRESENATIVES spend OUR TAXED-MONEY with a little bit of wisdom!...such as SECURING OUR INTERNATIONAL BORDERS AND COASTLINES! And an increase on taxing multi-billion dollar corperations...whom many are responsible for closing up shops here in OUR LAND, and sending them overseas, many to Latin America...seems a reasonable and FAIR thing to do...REAL NATIONAL SECURITY OVER SECURITY FOR UNBRIDALED GREED OF CORPERATE INTEREST!

The U.S. Government...OUR GOVERNMENT...should as mentioned in an early blog, deploy the 101st Airborne (Airmobile) Division to the U.S./Mexican Border to provide a real second step to seal Our Southern Border...

...the first being the courageous and tireless efforts by U.S. Border Patrol personnel in turning back a tide with a government coffee mug.

Once this new effort in Border Security Operations are in affect, the third step is to begin construction of a 'Clear and Visible Border', by erecting two steel walls fifteen and twenty foot in height with a meshed razor wire obstacle atop each and spaced two hundred yard between them, the digging of a series of twenty-five yard wide and ten foot deep stone vehicle birm-ditches, and the constructing of observation towers at three mile intrivals manned by U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Military, and American and International Red Cross personnel.

Fourth stage is the activation of Army National Guard troops from the border states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Their deployments lasting six months in duration. After the roating deployments of the border states Army National Guard forces, other states would then be requested to call up their Army National Guard personnel for six month deployments, thus creating a permanent revolving-rotating National Guard presence on Our Southern Border.

Fifth step is to increase the personnel and equipment of the U.S. Border Patrol five time its current strength.

Sixth step is to deputize the civilian 'Minutemen' now on the border. This is done by placing and organizing them under the jurisdiction of the sherrif departments of border counties, organizing mandatory training courses conducted by ex-Border Patrol officers, outfitting them with government surplus vehichles and observation equipment. Their patrols would be in cordination with U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. military forces.

Seventh step is to have the Civil Air Patrol, an auxillary of the U.S. Air Force to assist in Joint Border Protection and Security Operations by conducting surveillance flights in cordination with Border Patrol and military forces, and their aircraft of course would be equipped with high tech observation devices.

Eighth step is organize a communications link with Mexican authorities, so as to cordinate the apprehention and detention of individuals in illegal border crossings and illecit drug smuggling, this will set the stage for accountability and responsibility for the Mexican military and police forces on the border.

The ninth step is the placing of American and International Red Cross personnel on the Southern Border. Their presence is to assure EVERYONE that the securing of Our Border with Mexico is not anti-Mexican nor racsist, nor is a step in the abusing of human rights. The presence of the Red Cross is to assure that any Mexican National or Nationals from other countries that are caught in illegal border crossings are treated with human dignity and returned in a humane fashion. Drug traffickers will be detained and placed under U.S. law enforcement jurisdiction and treated as criminals.

And the tenth step is to conduct a census of ALL foreign nationals in the U.S., followed by the creation of a 'Temporay Foreign National Worker Program". This would allow for a reasonable and common sensed number of individuals to work in the U.S. for a nine month period, followed by another group of workers, thus creating a rotating worker program that will be fair to America and those wishing to work, pay taxes, and possibly become U.S. Citizens. After which all illegal foreign citizens will go thru a humane process of documentation and identification, temporary detention, and finally the transportation back to their country of origin. And if individuals meet a certain responsible criteria, they then can enroll in the 'Temporary Foreign National Worker Program' for a future time of working and paying taxes in the U.S.of.A.

With these steps and financing...Our Southern Border...and thus Our Beloved Land will be that much more secure.

The more I understand the situation in the Near East,

the more I am sickened and nauseated by Our Tax-Dollars being used to support the Zionist State of Israel.

This support is a SIN!

Criticism of the Zionist State of Israel is not anti-Semitic.

There is a difference between Judaism and Zionism.

Long ago a famous Rabbi named Joel Teitelbaum calle Zionism "the work of Satan", "a sacrilege", and "a blasphemy", and this was echoed by many Rabbis and "real" Jewish leaders before the Second World War, The Holocaust, and the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel.

To better understand the present day Near East and the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, we should all seek out and learn about Zionism, and how it has effected all of us.

If We, as American Citizens were to learn more about Zionism, then we...WE THE PEOPLE can affect Our Governments policies in regard to The Holy Land, and the Jewish and Palestinian Peoples...and with KNOWLEDGE support BOTH Peoples with TRUTH.

I will ask Those that Represent ME...A Free Citizen of Our American Republic...to stop "the blank check support" to the Zionist State of Israel with American Citizen Tax-Dollars. To REDIFINE "a fair and balanced" policy towards the Jewish and Palestinian Peoples of The Holy Land. To issue a Congressional Statement CRITICISING both the Israeli Government and ALL Arab and Muslim Governments in their "fueling of this hateful blood filled war between themselves". And to Declare a Congressional Promise to always protect the Descendents of Abraham...Jews and Palestinians.

With such an approach by the United States, and other nations following suit...THEN...as a Free Citizen of Our American Republic...I will know that OUR Government did that which was RIGHT...advocated the Dignity and Respect of ALL Human Rights in The Holy Land.

Here is the REASON for the U.S. invasion and hopefully temporary occupation of Iraq...

...So the U.S. and the U.K. could control the Iraqi oilfields...

...To help the state of Israel in the dividing and destabilization of the Arab world, and furthering Sharons and the Likudites building of the Evil Wall throughout the Holy Land...

...And so greedy sons-of-bitches and their corperations can make huge profits in rebuilding Iraqs infrastructures...

...To create a "platform for invasions and preemptive strikes" against Syria and Iran by U.S. and U.K. Forces for the state of Israel...

...All this for those NeoCon-Zionist-Coperate-Monarchs-WASP's in Washington, London, and Tel Aviv!

WHERE ARE THEIR CHILDREN?!

Why doesn't George W. Bush, Dick Cheny, Joe Libberman, Bill Frist, Tom DeLay, Paul Wolfawitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Gloria Feinstein and all the other assorted flavors of America's Right and Left Wing Candy Box send THEIR children to WAR?

How come THEIR kids aren't fighting in Iraq?

Wasn't this ILLEGAL WAR worth sending their offspring into HARMS WAY?!

They sure can send SOMEONE ELSES CHILDREN OFF TO BE MAIMED AND KILLED! And speak lightly of it later!

They sure can speak LIGHTLY of Iraqi civilian loses. Our President giving a pep-rally speach at the Council of Foreign Relations dinner this weekend, spoke so feathery of "...around 30,000..." Iraqi civilian deaths since the spring of 2003. Around 30,000?! My GOD! Does he and his cohorts not realize that this includes babies, youngsters, teenagers, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, grandparents?! Or to these Corperate-NeoCon-Zionist-Monarchs just looks at these PEOPLE as "just a bunch of damned Arabs"? Their claim, which I'm sure is sincere with some individuals, as Believers in The Lord, does it not make them FEAR THE LORD?!

And what about the 100,000 casualities, mostly infants and youngsters, from the BASTARDLY U.N. sanctions after the Gulf War of '91 which was pressed by the U.S. and the U.K.? The so called claim of "it will cause the Iraqi people to rise up and overthrow the Hussein regime" was plate of horseshit served up to the citizens of America, Britian, and the world! Didn't we let the Shia Rebellion just after the Gulf War die to Hussein's army.

We should fear Heavens Wrath to Right Wrongs...especially against INNOCENTS!

I am so tired of fellow Christians who say..."we should just nuke 'em all!"...or..."America and Israel should waste every last one of them!" How could anyone say that!?, knowing that innocent children, women, and men would DIE!?...and in Iraq alone 800,000 Christians, their brothers and sisters in Christ! Do they not think?!

WE MUST THINK AND ASK!

MY PEASENT THOUGHTS ON WITHDRAWING FROM IRAQ

MMM???...

Well...as a Free Citizen of The Republic...I will attempt to answer this, as IT IS guaranteed in Our Constitution...

Complete withdrawl immediately...we can't...common sense dictates this.

A Phased Partial Withdrawl...now this is very much realistic, phasing U.S. Forces down is acheivable, with an understanding that Our Military will maintain a presence in Iraq and the Persian Gulf for well into the future to preserve a balance of power and peace.

Working and talking with Our Allies, Friends, and the International Community on what can accomplished to stabilize the current situation in Iraq. Keeping in mind the realities of interest, ideals, and agendas that all participants will have...and renewing interest could bring about a revitalization that will benifit the Iraqi people and their government.

With a smaller U.S military presence in Iraq, and renewed interest in bringing about a stabilized peace there, the U.S. could persuaded individual nations to deploy forces thru a new United Nations Mandate, that will maintain U.S. leadership over all military operations, but will include a greater role for other nations in decision making processes. In non-military matters the U.S. will work with the Iraqis and other countries on how best to solve critical needs such as water, electric power, fuel distribution, and medical needs.

Then as this renewed U.S./International effort takes shape and is made real with an organized deployment of International troops and their equipment, America will begin at first a slow, but as time passes a steady partial withdrawl of Our Forces from Iraq. At the same time, increased efforts to train and field Iraqi forces can be achieved thru U.S. and allied training efforts.

The United States should withdraw nearly 100,000 troops from Iraq by the summer or autumn of 2006, while maintaining a presence of 50,000 troops in Iraq, 10,000 in the Persian Gulf, a Quick Reaction Force of 2,500 in Europe, and a Quick Reaction Force of 2,500 in the Indian Ocean and Australia.

The International Community thru the new U.N. Mandate could deploy the following:

Iraqs Borders; A combined Iraqi/British/Indian/Pakistani Force of 10,000 on the border with Syria. A combined Iraqi/Russian/Ukrainian/Belarussian Force of 10,000 on the Iranian border. A combined Iraqi/Indonesian/Malaysian/Bangleshi Force of 2,500 troops on the Western Saudi border. A combined Iraqi/Georgian/Azeribajian/Armenian Force of 2,500 on the Eastern Saudi border. A combined Iraqi/Australian/New Zealander Force of 2,500 on the Kuwaiti border. A combined Iraqi/U.S./Jordanian/Moroccan Force of 2,500 on the Jordanian border. And a combined Iraqi/German/French/Canadian Force of 5,000 on the Turkish border.

Iraqs Road Systems; A combined Iraqi/French/German Force of 2,000. A combined Arab League Force (Iraqi,Moroccan, Egyptian, Syrian, and Algerian) of 2,000. A combined American/Canadian Force of 2,000. A combined Iraqi/OAS Force (Brazillian, Mexican, Argentine, Columbian, Peruvian, and Venezualen) of 2,000. And a combined Iraqi/Commonwealth of Independent States Force (Turkmen,Tajik,Kazakh,Uzbek,Kyrzyg) of 2,000.

Iraqs Airports, Airfields, and Aerodromes; A Combined Iraqi/Icelandic/Norwegian/Danish/Swedish/Finnish Force of 2,000. A combined Iraqi/U.S./Canadian/Jamaican/Belizian Force of 2,000. A combined Iraqi/Latvian/Estonian/Lithuianian Force of 1,000.

Iraqs River and Water Systems; A combined Iraqi/Slovene/Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian/Montenegran/Macedonian/Ruomanian/ Bulgarian/Moldovan/Albanian Force of 3,000.

Iraqs Oil Infrastructure; A combined Iraqi/African Union Force (South African,Nigerian,Kenyan,Madagascaran,Tanzanian,Tunisian,Senegalese, Zambian,Botswanan,Camerounian,Malian) of 2,000. A combined Iraqi/Central European Force from Poland/Slovakia/The Czech Republic/Hungary/Austria of 2,000. A combined Iraqi/Indonesian/Singaporean/Vietnamese/Thai/Laotian/Cambodian/Malaysian/Bruneian/Sri Lankan Force of 2,000.

Iraqs Electric Power Grid; A combined Iraqi/Spanish/Portuguese/Brazillian/Argentine Force of 2,000. A combined Iraqi/U.S./German/French/Canadian Force of 2,000. A combined Iraqi/British/Greek/Cypriot/Maltese/Italian Force of 1,000. A combined Iraqi/Afgan/Kazakh/Mongolian Force of 1,000.

Iraqs Communications Systems; A combined Iraqi/Japanese/Timorese/New Zealander/French/Irish/Palestinian Force of 2,000. A combined Iraqi/U.S./Mexican/Jamaican/Peruvian/Ecuadoran/Bolivian Force of 1,000.

Iraqs Drinking Water System and Supplies; A combined Iraqi/South Korean/Filipino/Thai/Samoan/Fijian/Naurian/Vanatuan Force of 3,000.

Iraqs Food Supply and Distribution System; A combined Iraqi/South Korean/Filipino/Thai/Fijian/Soloman Islander/Tongan/Samoan/Kiribatian Force of 3,000.

Iraqs Farms; A combined Iraqi/French/German/Vietnamese/Laotian/Cambodian/Filipino/South Korean/Malaysian Force of 3,000.

Iraqs Religious Sites; Both Sunni and Shia sites: Iraqi, Palestinan Authority, Turkish, Afghan, and Mongolian, totaling 1,200 soldiers. Christian sites: Iraqi, Greek, Egyptian, Maltese, and Mongolian totaling 1,200 soldiers. Jewish sites: Iraqi, Ethiopian, Moroccan, German, and Mongolian totaling 1,200 soldiers.

Iraqs Airspace Defense; A combined Iraqi/U.S./Canadian/Ukrainian/Indonesian/Tunisian/South African Force of 3,000.

Iraqs Army and Police Facilities; A combined Iraqi/U.S./French/German/Russian/British/Algerian/Syrian/Jordanian/Indonesian/Australian Force of 20,000.

Iraqs Reconstruction Process and Engineering; A Combined Iraqi/U.S./Japanese/Australian/Chinese/Omani/Yemeni/United Arab Emirates/Bahrainian/Qatari/Saudi/Kuwaiti Force of 20,000.

Civil Affairs For the International Observers and Stabilization Force in Iraqs Reconstruction; A combined Iraqi/U.S./Irish/Tunisian/Palestinian Authority/Argentine Force of 2,000.

Medical Units For the International Observers and Stabilization Force and the Iraqi population; A combined Iraqi/U.S./Japanese/German/French/Syrian/Lebanese/Singaporean/San Marinian/Luxembourgian/Liechtensteinian/Andorran/Monacoan/Palestinian Authority/Bosnian-Serbian-Croatian-Albanian Force of 10,000.

Chemical and Biological Units for the International Observers and Stabilization Force; A combined Iraqi/U.S./French/German/Dutch/Belgian/Czech/Russian/Syrian Force of 3,000.

The total number of Iraqi, U.S., and International Troops from nearly every nation, and remembering, this being under a new United Nations Mandate passed by the U.N. Security Council, would number 153,000 Allied Troops working for a stabilized and peaceful Iraq.


And these are my peasent thoughts on withdrawing from Iraq.

This could happen...

THE BORDERS

The Administration is finally talking and offering little in way of securing Our southern border with the Republic of Mexico.

The American People have been shouting, some politicians have yelled, some have slept, Conservatives and Liberals have whispered somewhat, activist groups on both sides of the issue have sustained the conversation, the Border Patrol has labored endlessly on turning back a flood with a dixie cup, but little has been done to answer the question..."how can we secure Our Borders?"...

First Answer. Security for Our Nation and safely returning and preventing Mexicans from crossing Our Borders.

Second Answer. It must be stressed and remembered by the American People...Mexicans are PEOPLE and not any less...GOD LOVES THEM AS MUCH AS HE LOVE US! And WE should look at them as Our Lord Jesus would...WITH LOVE!

Third Answer. A long range goal...help Mexico help themselves by working with them in improving their economy and finances, the securing and protection of finances loaned by the U.S., other nations, and international organizations, and by creating an organization from within the Organization of American States that will provide a check and balance system to assure the improving of Mexico's economy and prevent corruption that would destroy any efforts.

Fourth Answer. Conduct a Census of all illegal immigrants. Create a "Foreign National Immigrant Work Program" and enroll a limited common-sensed number for nine months then rotate another group for another nine month period...a revolving legal worker progam that will assure documentation, location, and status of foreign workers in the U.S. Then with all other illigal aliens in the Our Country, in a HUMANE, legal, and orderly fashion...locate, humanely detain, and transport them back to their country of origin.

Fifth Answer. In a staged and phased operation, deploy elements of the U.S. Armed Forces, primarily the Army and Army National Guard to secure and protect Our Southern Border.

Phase One: Deploy the Armys' 101st Airborne Division to the border with Mexico. Activate the Army National Guard units of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas to secure their sectors of the Southern Border. Legitimize Citizens who have created the "Minutemen" civilian border watch group by placing them under the command and control of local sherrif departments by deputizing them, conduct mandatory training courses which are paid for by personal and private organizational funds, and equiping them with government surplus vehicles. Continue to increase the funds, personnel, and equipment for the U.S. Border Patrol.

Phase Two: Implement the building of a "clear and visible border" with the construction of steel walls fifteen foot high with forty-five degree angled barbed wire meshed fencing atop these structures. The placing of razor wire barriers four rows wide behind the steel wall. Then the construction of another steel wall ten feet high with barbed wire meshing on top. The erecting of watch towers/observation posts at two mile intravels that are manned by Border Patrol Officers, National Guard members, Army personnel from the 101st Airborne, Civilian Minutemen, and members of the American Red Cross to act as a saftey organization for Mexican nationals who are detained at the border. The construction of wide stone ditches and vehicle birms should also be placed between the steel wall barriers. And the equiping of boder personnel with the necessary high tech systems for detecting illegal border crossing activities.

Phase Three: Include the Mexican border police and military in joint operations with U.S. border personnel. The continued increasing of the size and abilities of the U.S. Border Patrol. The activating of Army National Guard units from other states and territories to relieve those units of border states, and thus creating a continous rotation of National Guard deployments to Our Southern Border. The deployment of company sized Marine Corps units to conduct real world training operations with border personnel. Decreasing the size of the Armys' 101st Airborne presence as Border Patrol increases its operations and size, and National Guard units increases its role along the U.S./Mexican Border.

Phase Four: After the preceding phases are implemented and operational for a two year period, the state, territorial, and federal governments can begin to field a State and Territorial Guard System as mentioned in an earlier blog on The High Horse. Also at this time the deactivation and reorganization of the National Guard Bueareu into a new seperate branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, the U.S. National Guard, mentioned too in the same previous earlier blog would go into effect.

With these two new forces in Our Common Defense, the deployment of Our Armed Forces, the rebuilding of Our Border Patrol, the Joint Operations with Mexican Authorities, and the construction of "a clear and visible border"...Our Southern Border will be secure, and the American Citizenry can rest knowing so, and sigh a relief.

THERE ARE NEW ADDITIONS TO "WHERE IS IT?" THAT HAVE BEEN MADE...AND POSSIBLY MORE ON THE WAY.

posted by Gary 5:19 PM (0) comments

Tuesday, November 15, 2005

 

WHERE IS IT!?

Where is there a political party that represents 'True America'?

A party that represents 'The Middle Americans', those that are neither Neo-Con Rightist nor Extremist-Liberal Leftist.

A party that represents the Back Bone of America, the working class citizenry.

A party that supports and appreciates free enterprise and achieving the American Dream.

A party that understands capitalism and a free market society, but advocates a benovenlent-capitalistic system where unadulterated greed is not the driving force in the nations economics.

A party that is willing to protect the rights of workers, protecting from corperate abuse and is pro-union when unions act responsibly in the interest of the workers, and encourages a watchdog group for a checked and balanced representation of workers in unions.

A party that advocates a "Living Wage" concept in the payment of workers in ALL jobs.

A party that will promote the "returning of jobs back to U.S. workers", a program that will encourage the corperate world to relocate industries once here on Our Soil back to the American Worker. A program with incentives for those companies that do, and penalization for those that don't...fair is fair...and is owed to the workers.

A party that is dedicated to PROTECTING THE LIFE OF THE UNBORN.

A party that believes in affordable health care of all Citizens of Our Republic. Maybe a blend of a capitalistic/socialistic brand of medical care is the answer.

A party that believes in the taking care of the elderly, especially the World War Two Generation, after all they protected us from being destroyed then. It is a SIN AND TRAVISTY to force the Senoirs of Our Republic to choose between food, heat, medicine, and shelter! Unless WE change this, then Our Nation is doomed.

A party that understands the role of religious faith in Our Land. That will protect Godly exersise of ones faith, but understands the balance in the Life of Our Government.

A party that advocates the common sense protection of the enviroment, here in North America and around our beautiful blue-green-white-and-brown planet. Protecting life on Earth in all forms is an undeniable duty of all peoples, especially Americans, being that WE have so much in materialism.

A party that advocates a responsible use of natural resources, the obtaining of these, and the PUSHING of industry and technology to develop effecient means of using natural fuels for both the Citizenry and the Nation.

A party that encourages common sense bio-ethics, and preventing the abuse of science in humankind and the natural world.

A party that promotes a rethinking of Our foreign policy, both in Our relationships with individual nations and international organizations. Of a reapproach in foreign policy in the areas of geo-politics, U.S. defense, economic trade, enviromental issues, human rights, natural resources, and religious issues. A rethinking that involves fair and balanced policies, the protection of America, and the common sense approach of "...is this really in Our Nations interest?...".

A party that can redefine Our Role in the Near East, and especially the promoting of a "fair and balanced" relationship with those in The Holy Land, the Israeli and Palestinian Peoples.
Promoting fairness, security, and prosperity for both of Abrahams' Decendents.

A party that recognizes that America can feed the HUNGRY here in the States and the HUNGRY overseas...and still have pleanty to eat.

A party that realizes that the American Farmer is the backbone of Our Nations Stomach, and that perpetual protection of the farmer is essential to Our Society. Protection from economic destruction and gigantic agri-corperations which is killing the Family Farm.

A party that is bent on destroying the wasting of taxpayers money by irresponsible politicians and the bureaucy or Our Governent.

A party that advocates a Fair Tax System, that will protect the taxpayers, encourages fairness to all Citizens, the Poor, the Working Class Blue-Collars, the Pedigree White-Collars, small and medium sized buisnesses, and the corperations.

A party that knows of the need to create many more small and medium sized buisnesses, the understanding of the role of corperations and their need to act and conduct themselves responisibly, the need to undo monopolies and corperate-monarchies, and the regulating of foreign owned corperations here in Our Country.

A party that will cry aloud from the rooftops of the right to bear arms, and the need for a responsibility from Citizens on obtaining and bearing arms, a system that protects the privacy of gun owners while enforcing rules that prevents the criminal elements from obtaining them and enforcable laws that punishes criminal use of firearms.

A party that will promote a rethinking of Our National Defense.
Understanding the strategic, tactical and unconventional needs of Our Security and making sure that "A True Defense" is implemented and maintained with flexiblity for generations to come.

A party that promotes the creation in "Our Common Defense" of a State and Territorial Guard system.

A party that would advocate an entire reorganization of the U.S. Coast Guard by increasing it three times its current size with both personnel and equipment. The primary mission of the USCG will be rescue, defense against attacks, the interdiction of drug smuggling, and the interception of illegal immigrants.

A party that will promote the modernzation of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. That will result in a large, mobile, and flexible force.

A party that will maintain the need of sensible strategic nuclear force. That will encourage a world wide reduction of warheads and missles for major nuclear powers, limiting of systems of minor nuclear powers, the security of all systems worldwide to prevent theft of resources, and promoting of a continued relationship with the Russians on a "Joint Nuclear Deterrence Operations System".

A party that realizes that we all have an obligation to care for the elderly, widowed, orphaned, hungry, naked, and the sick. Because a society that forgets these will face destruction from within.

A party that recognizes the truth of Our Nations history, and promotes a telling and teaching of it, both the wonderful and the terrible parts of Americas' Story.

A party that realizes the need for Our Government, that of We The People, to apologize to the First Americans for Our Governments Policies of the past, Policies that lied, cheated, coveted, that promised false hope, stole, murdered, killed, massacered, and set fourth a genocidal wave against the Native Americans.

A party that understands Our Constitution and the Laws that Govern Our Republic.

A party that cherishes the spirit of The Declaration of Independence, and the ABSOLUTE need to keep the U.S. sovereign, free, and independent, from all tryanny, both from on the outside and from within.

A party that advocates the Citizenry and all political parties, major and minor, to partake of Citizenship, to get excited about being a Free Citizen, of the fact that we are WE THE PEOPLE, and that we have a voice...a very loud voice...and that it is Our Duty to be heard by all branches of Our Government and at all levels. And this Duty and Privilage will keep the Republic ALIVE...and away from the DEATH of Empire.

THE REPUBLIC WILL DIE!

The essence of Our Republic is fading as the Neo-Cons and the Extremist-Liberals continue to rule stealthfully under the Constitution, undermining that Document of Freedom and Its Citizens.

The laws and government regulations they pass and implement benifits only themselves and their corperate and special interest supporters, many of them not even U.S. Nationals. These special supporters make up the Third House of Congress...the Lobbys. And WE, the apparent willing Citizenry allow the politicians who are supposed to represent US, hollow out the Constitution and leave an empty shell.

This death can only be stopped if WE THE PEOPLE take an interest in Our Government...to GET EXCITED about what's going on in Washington, Our state capitals, Our county seats, and Our city halls. But Our EXCITEMENT is directed by the opium dished out by the corperations behind the sports and entertainment industries...and mind you sports and entertainment is fine ways to enjoy life...but WE allow them to EXCITE us and forget what really matters in Our Land...

...WE MUST THINK AND ACT AS CITIZENS OF THE REPUBLIC...OR IT DIES!

For A Group Of Soldiers...

Please keep in your prayers the Soldiers of Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 149th Infantry Brigade, Kentucky Army National Guard who are currently serving Iraq.

These Soldiers are pulling a one year plus tour of duty attached to a Marine Expeditionary Unit in Western Iraqs' Al-Anbar Proveince.

These Soldiers are pulling combat patrols, security operations, and clearing the way for the Marines.

These Men are good as gold, coming from all walks of life, and now, they are together as One Family.

I've served with these Men...the cool ones and the knuckleheaded morons...but they are family!

Please Pray Daily For Them!

Just A Note...

...Several additions and corrections were made to the previous blog on the observations on The Holy Orthodox Christian Faith.

The additions were made to the paragraphs concerning the 'onslaught of Islam'...'the invasion of the Mongol Hordes'...'the continued battles with Islam, especially the Turks'...and 'the coming of the Bolsheviks'.

The corrections pertained to a comment about Protestant Missionaries. It was pointed out by a Sister-in-Christ that my statement about their 'poor education' and 'lack of historical knowledge', was a bit harsh...and I had to agree with her...and I hope that no hurt or offense was taken by any Protestant Brother or Sister in Christ...if so...I sorely apologize.

The Holy Orthodox Christian Faith has been given to the world by The Father thru the incarnation of The Word that is The Son, and thru which The Holy Spirit has moved, is moving now, and will move thru on into infinity...

thru which the teachings of the Apostles themselves was handed down unaltered by their Successors...

confirmed thru The Holy Scriptures which was given to us by The Lord God thru His Holy Church...

cemented by Holy Tradition of The Holy Gospel Of Our Christian Faith...

defended by The Seven Holy Ecumenical Councils...

of which the Holy Fathers proclaimed the Only Truth which defeated anti-Christ herersies...

...The Faith, that thru the power of The Lord has endured the Enemy, May God Rebuke Him...

attacks, persecutions, and martyrdom of Believers from pagan worldly powers and governments in its early days,

heresies and false teachers in the early days and onwards thru today, the intrigue of Christian temporal rulers,

the onslaught of Islam and the wars between it and Christendom, from its birth in the mid-600's to the taking of the Holy Land soon afterwards, the invasion of Western Europe in the mid-700's, the wars with The Christian Byzantine Empire in the East to the wars with Western Christians during the Crusades, the invasion of the Christian nations of the Balkans after the Crusades to the saking of Christian Constastaninople in 1453 by the Turks, the wars with Christian Russia in the Caucaus and Black Sea Region, and on to the battles to control the Mediterranean between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Muslim Turks, the Turkish persecutions of the Christians in Asia Minor, Greece, Kosovo, Serbia, Ruomania, Bulgaria, Wallachia, and Armenia from Medievial times till the expulsion of the Ottoman Turks from the Balkans in the early 19th Century,

battles with the Western Christian World (a sadness that Christian would kill Christian),

the invasion of the Mongol Hordes from the east up through Caucaus Mountains into Armenia and Georgia, and out of the Siberian Steppes into and thru Holy Russia to the edges of Poland, Hungary, Austria, and down into the Balkans to the shores of the Adriatic Sea, it is said that all of Christendom asked of The Lord in the Litanies and Petitional Prayers..."from the fury of the Tartars (Mongols) deliver us Oh Lord"...for all Christians feared these "Horsemen from the East",

the continued struggle with temporal governments both in the East and from the West, in theological, political, economic, and sometimes military matters,

the contiued fierce wars, persecutions, and Martrydoms of recent history and today with Islam, primarily from the Turks in Greece and its Isles, Kosovo (the historical Heart of Christian Serbia) where Kosovar Muslim Albanians kill Serbs with pleasure and destroy ancient Churches (Houses of God) and Monastaries, in Cyprus (Christian since Apostolic times) where the desecration of ancient early Christian Churches and Monastaries in the northern half of the island which has been under Muslim control since the 1972 invasion by Turkish forces has been encouraged by the Ankara government, and the world MUST NEVER forget the genocide by the Turks from the late 1880's till the early 1920's when they slaughtered with much relish over 1.5 million Armenian, Greek, and Arab Christians...and this GENOCIDE was accomplished by firing squads, hangings, beheadings, mass rape of women, horrific tortures resulting in death, forced exoduses hundreds of miles across the arid Syrian Desert with neither water, food, nor shelter, the abduction of Christian children and their sufferings of beatings and torture in order to convert them to Islam...and this took place within the lifetime of our grandparents...all because they were Christians, and the ferocious and bloody battles in Soutern Russia, Georgia, and Armenia between these Christian Lands and their militant Muslim inhabitants...a frontline between Christendom and Islam...and it must be said that not all Muslims in these lands are militant and haters of Christians,

battles from within Our Lords Church by fellow Christians who had forsaken The Holy Truths that which was handed down to them with a great weight of responsibility (of which we all must handle),

the coming of the Bolshevik Revolution and the Mass Persecutions and Martyrdoms of The Faithful in Russia and Eastern Europe (30 million Christians killed from 1917 to 1991), and this militant-athiest persecutions took place thru means of firing squads, hangings, unspeakable tortures, imprisonment in psychiatric hospital and the expierments of mind-altering drugs, forced exile to the gulags-labor camps in Siberia where prisoners expierenced harsh bitter cold, starvation, forced hard labor, torture, beatings, and ultimately death, the organized raping of nuns at monastaries, the organized destruction of Churches and Monastaries, the torture and execution of Orthodox Christian Priests, Catholic Christian Priests, and Protestant Christian Ministers for proclaiming the Gospels, and for the Orthodox, performing the Holy and Life Giving Sacrements of The Holy Mysteries (a.k.a. Communion, a.k.a. The Lords Supper), Baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, of hearing and witnessing the Confession of Sins to The Lord by Believers and offering them the prayers of absolution and assurance of The Forgiveness and Love and Mercy of Jesus Christ thru The Father and by the Power of The Holy Spirit, by performing the Sacrement of Holy Matrimony, by offering Holy Unction thru the annointing with Holy and Blessed Oil to the sick and dying, by continuing the Succession of the Apostles by the laying on of hands thru Holy Ordination, and the Chrismation (annointing with oil) of Christians from other traditions who have already been Baptized in the Name of The Holy Trinity who are coming into the Holy Orthodox Christian Faith...it was these Christian Duties that these Christian Shepherds were sought out, and the Communist made attempts to infiltrate the Church, and was somewhat successful, but failed to fully hurt and corrupt it...for Gods' Church is Victorious!...Rising as The Phoenix (an early Christian symbol) from the ashes of a Militant-Anti-Christ-System...now what will happen and be said of the Church in the West under the secular-humanist-materialist Democracies where anti-Christ thinking, anti-Christ political-correctness, and anti-Christ laws is now gaining momentum?

and the old and new struggles with Islam, atheism, political intrigue, the occult (old and new paganism and satanism), concocted isolationism from the West, secular humanism, materialism (capitalism gone astray and unbounded), the proteslyitizing from Protestant Christian Missionaries who are sincere and loving but poorly educated on historical Christian and cultural aspects of the Peoples they hope to convert (how do you turn a Believer into a Believer...can you turn water into water?), and The Roman Catholic Christian Church seeking to reastablish its influence and power in Eastern Europe, The Ukraine, and the Middle East, and just the plain hateful hate from the Enemy...May God Rebuke Him!

...this Endurance and Truth has been given by The Ruler Of All, The Author Of The Holy Christian Faith Thru The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, The Most Holy Trinity, The Three-In-One and The One-In-Three, As The Three-Leafed-Yet-One-Leaf-Shamrock That Saint Patrick Taught With To The Irish, Father-Son-Holy Spirit...Unto The Ages Of Ages...AMEN

A Thought On The First Americans...The American Indian.

As a young boy, into my teenage years, and into young adulthood, I have an interest in the Native Americans. It is said, thru oral tradition and some documention that on both sides of my family there are Indian bloodlines. It has been determined that my siblings and I are one-sixteenth Native. And there is a very strong possiblity that there is Melungeon blood as well. Both of these influences would explain the dark features in Our Family. It must be said as well that most people here in The Southern Appalachian Highlands do have both Native and Melungeon in their ancestory.

As a youngster and into the present I do enjoy writings on the First Americans. My Grandmother gave me a book titled "The American Indian", and it was published by The National Geographic Society back in the 1970's, and it is a wonderful telling of the Indian story. This past weekend I started reading thru Dee Browns' "The American West", and it to is a great read, he certainly has a knack for storytelling! It is thru his writing that I have learned the complete story of Chief Joseph and The Nez Perce'. If there is a "True American Hero" (a quote from Knife Wing, a Lakota musician from South Dakota) then it is Chief Joseph and his People! A peaceful people that wanted nothing more than to be left in peace in their homes and land, a fair request that we all seek, but this wasn't to be, for PURE AND UNADULTERATED GREED by the European Americans (who claim Christianity as their faith, and come hell or high water, they would bring it to the Indians and the land!) coveted (one Commandment broken) The Land of The Nez Perce'. After a typical treaty with Washington, and the breaking of it, the Euro Americans settlers and miners protected by the U.S. Calvary would enter and take what wasn't theirs (two Commandments broken)...but not without one brilliant fight put up by Chief Joseph (a Christian Convert by the way), the Bands Leadership, and the People! From the Washington and Idaho Territories, and into the Montana Territory, the Nez Perce' out manouvered, out shot, and out witted the calvary thru Montana all the way to the Bear Paw Mountains so close to their destination, the Canadian Border. But it was in these prairie mountains of Montana that Chief Joseph realizing the dire situation of his People, did with so much Dignity, Honor, and Courage, surrendered, "...to fight no more".

And it was after reading this that I felt I should write an ideal that has been in my heart and thoughts for some time now.

Here in the United States of America, before any further government legislating at every level of government, local, county, state, and federal...the U.S. Government should beg for forgiveness from the American Indians!...apologize for the genocidal policies and tactics, for the ethnic cleansing, for the massaceres and especially the killing of children, women, and the elderly as they fled their lodges during government raids, for the biological warfare that the infamous General Sherman (who said the only good Indian is a dead Indian) used against a Reservation in Wisconsin when he issued winter blankets purposefully infected with smallpox, for the breaking of treaties, for the lies and false promises, for the forced internment onto the agencies a.k.a. reservations a.k.a. open concentration camps...Our Government should immediately apologize for all the evils that it commited against the First Americans.

Then maybe, just maybe, THE LORD GOD OF ALL CREATION AND ALL MANKIND may have MERCY and FORGIVENESS upon the American Nation. If we are to truly do that which is right, seeking TRUE JUSTICE before we supposedly dispense it overseas, then as a Nation and as a People...RED AND YELLOW AND BLACK AND WHITE...The American People...may receive Mercy if we first beg this forgiveness!...OR OUR AMERICAN NATION MAY FACE AN APOCALYPTIC DESTRUCTION UNLIKE ANY EVER SEEN OF A NATION...AND THE ALMIGHTY LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL KNOW WHY.

Some Additional Thoughts On What To Do About Iraq.

From the previous Blog it was mentioned that the International Community should create a Multi-National Observers and Stability Force to help secure a real peace in Iraq.

This Force of 123,100 troops would be lead by a U.S. Force of 60,000 (50,000 in Iraq and 10,000 in Theater) with an additional 2,500 service members is the European Theater as a quick reaction force, an additional 2,500 in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Regions, and 10,000 troops avaliable in the Continental U.S.

The U.S. would provide the overall security and stabilization force, along with certion specialized operational duties such as command-and-control, communications, and regional intelligence coordinations.
2) Responsibities such as engineering and public works and reconstruction could fall to the Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Yemeni, Qatari, Bahrainian, and United Arab Emirate troops.
3) Medical duties could fall to the Japanese, the Singaporans, the Luxembourgians, San Marinian, Andorran, Barbadosian, Bahamian, Cubans, and forces from Liechtenstein.
4) Transportation systems could be assigned to the Banglideshi, Mongolian, Malian, New Zealander, and Pakistani, Czech, and Slovak forces
5) Civil Affairs and Public Affairs would be under the Canadians, Tunisians, Bruneian, Irish and Swedes.
6) Water Resources would be under the command of the Jordanians, Spainards, Mexicans, Chileans, Trinidadian & Tobagoans, and Kenyans...the U.S. should persuade and pressure the Israelis, with their abilities to irrigate the desert, to build desalinization plants...funded by the oil-rich Persian Gulf states...to help at first to "green" the deserts of Iraq, then followed by the "greening" of the rest of the sands of the Near East...sounds better to "green" the Earths deserts and feed ourselves than to spend trillions and trillions to "green" Mars for creating and feeding microbes.
7) Securing the Iraqi border is paramount and should fall to the Iraqis themselves, then to the Americans, Russians, Ukrainians, Moroccons, Azeribijanis, Kazakh, British, South Africans, Nigerians, The Combined Korean Command (under Swiss Control), Austrian, French, Egytian, Italian, Indonesians, Argentine, Indian, and Australian forces.
8) The majority of the African Union forces could secure the oil industry infrastructure along with Vietnamese, Thai, Belarussian, Australian, Algerian, Maylasian, Filipino, Portuguese, Brazillian, Armenian, Georgian, American, Omani, Pacific Island Nations, Jamaican, Lebanese, and Polish troops.
9) The Securing of the airports and military aerodrommes would fall to the Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Finnish, Jordanian, Turkish, Palestinain Authority, Latvian, Estonian, and Lithuanian soldiers.
10) Chemical/Biological Decontamination Units would fall to the Dutch, Belgians, Saudi, and Kuwaiti troops.
11) Security of Iraqs waterways and port facilities would be in the hands of the British, Ruomanian, Serbian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Moldovian, Montenegrian, Macedonian, Albanian, Croation, Slovenian, Egyptian, Syrian, and Italian forces.
12) Protection of religious sites throughout Iraq would go to the following; Muslim Holy Sites, both Shia and Sunni would be under the security of the Turkish, Palestinian Authority, and Turkmen of Central Asia. The Christian Churches would be under the Greeks, Egyptian, and Maltese. The remaining Jewish Synagogues would be placed under the Ethiopians, Germans (think now!?...)and Moroccans (think of history!?...) Securing Iraqs holy sites is fundemental for a true Godly peace.
13) Farms, food warehouses and distribution centers (both government and commerical), livestock facilities and fields could be under the security of the French, Djiboutian, South African, Syrian, Canadian, Argentine, and Spanish troops.
14) The ground air defense units would be under the Iraqi, American, French, Spanish, Indian, Algerian, and Canadian forces.
15) The defense of Iraqi airspace would fall to air force units from Iraqi themselves, the Americans, French, Algerian, Canadian, Spanish, Argentine, British and the Indians.
16) The security of Iraqs roadway system would fall under mostly to soldiers from the Organization of American States along with American, French, Syrian, Turkmen and Pakistani.
17) The Securing of Iraqs rail system would fall to the British, Indian, Pakistani, Bangledeshi, Chinese, Egyptian, Libyan and Italian troops.

It will be asked..."how will this be paid for?"...by the International Community through the United Nations, the oil rich nations of the Middle East (in particular the Saudis and Kuwaitis), and extra finacial help from the industrialized nations. This must be done if there is to be an end to this gathering of death and destruction.

With the securing of a peace, a true peace in Iraq, we must first pray, pray the world over, then through a true coordinated effort by the International Community and the U.S., Iraq may experience a lasting peace and prove a stable keystone in the Near East.

Of all the Churches in Christendom...I have found the Orthodox Church to be the Originial...the Ancient...of the Apostles...given by the Messiah, Jesus Christ...through which The Holy Spirit has moved, is moving, and will move through...of which the Father smiles upon...from which the Saints come from...from which all people can receive the Holy Saving Sacraments...from which one can receive rest and healing from daily struggles, and venture out again...from which the Origianl Christian Truth comes to all...from which prayer is unceasing...All This...from Our Lord.

What To Do About Iraq?

The recent media coverage of the Secretary of Defense and the Pentagon Generals upon Capital Hill giving testimony on the current situation in Iraq and what lies ahead for Our Armed Forces and the Iraqi Military, its Government, and its Citizens certainly gives Us a picture of whats happening, and I think the 'Screamer' would be a good painted analogy for this chaos that is evolving every day.

First it must be said that Our Armed Forces are doing the best that can! These Warriors have been placed in a hellish situation that SEEMS as though there is no end. But these Brave Men And Women are doing a fantastic effort of fullfilling their duties! And 'IF' WE THE PEOPLE SPEAK LOUDLY, and Our Represenatives LISTEN, and the Administration LISTENS, and the present and retired Military Leadership LISTENS AND ADVISES the CIVILIAN LEADERSHIP...THEN...there could be light on the horizen.

And it be said of the Iraqis who want peace and stability, theirs is a hellish lot not created by their hands, but that of their previous governments and the mingling of The West..Ottoman Turk Imperialism, European Imperial Colonialism after World War I with the dividing up of the Arab Peoples, Tribes, Clans, Families, and Lands, The Cold War between The U.S.S.R. and The Western Alliance, and Zionism in The Holy Land and the continued imbalanced U.S. support to the state of Israel and the ignoring of the Palestinian Inhabitants.

In order to save the day in Iraq, America and the International Community should use the gift that God put on our shoulders and seek out a solution.

First, the U.S. Government should partake of HUMILITY and admit that the approach which we took was a mistake. This is not sacrificing National Pride, but having the testicular fortitude to salvage HONOR. By the Administration and the Congress (Our Voice) publicaly announcing that THEY (the Administrations Policy Makers and their Supporters on Capital Hill) went about this all wrong, THEY might regain OUR trust and that of the Worlds, and this can be accomplished without relinquishing Our Sovereignty and submitting to any nation or international organization. With such an admission of wrong doing, then we can begin to end this bloodletting and pure chaos.

After such a proclamation, the U.S. then can draw up new plans and approach the International Community and create a common ground where a true peace can be planted. U.S. Forces cannot immediately withdraw from Iraq, Common Sense dictates this!, but Our Military Leadership can step up, advise the Civilian Leadership of Our Military of what is REALLY going on...on the ground in Iraq...offer a real solution an put aside the grandios visions of spreading so-called freedom around the world...the Manifest Destiny of the Neo-Con Policy Makers...and again offer a real strategy not only in Iraq, but the entire Near East. A strategy that Our Citizens can digest and accept, because it is Our Sons and Daughters that are fighting for a failed policy, not the children of the Elitniks on both the Right and Left. Once this new strategy is implemented, then Our Republic cand apprach the International Community, without wavering Our Strength as America, and the Dignity and Honor of Our Armed Forces, and request a new international effort to bring a real peace to Iraq and the region.

It is unfortunate that Our Nation charged into this War on the stallion of lies and desception with its eyes blinded by greed and power, (a Steed of The Apocylpse?), and the results was the grass which the Pale Riders' Horse feeds upon, the deaths of hundreds of thousands...AND FOR WHAT?!...the population of the entire world is still asking, but there is no real answer, only man lying to man. Only the TRUTH will bring about an end to this gathering of death.

Our Government ignored the TRUTH! And presented to the International Community a host of ABSOLUTE LIES, which not only WE THE PEOPLE could see, but all peoples! Aside from the politics of the United Nations, the wheelings and dealings, the corruptions and failings that take place within the walls of that experiment of human governments, the Policy Makers of Our Government purposefully lead us into this War ignoring all other avenues of approach to solve the problem of the Hussein Regime by telling the American People and the International Community that all solutions had been exhausted, and America will invade Iraq...and now...we are in an endless chaos of blood.

Those avenues of approach that were ignored cannot be regained, but must be mentioned here. These were continued inspections, diplomacy, military pressure (including multi-national clandestine operations), economic and monetary pressure, and the gathering of nations, a True Alliance if you will, against the Hussein Regime. If these steps had been taken, and applied properly, then the outcome would have been much different than what we have today, even if all efforts failed, and the International Community lead by the U.S. took military action.

Continued Inspections. With a constant pressure of unlimited access to facilities, Multi-National Inspection Teams, a heavily armed Multi-Force Observers and Escorts (similar to the International Forces operating sucessfully in the Sinai since 1982) backed by a serious threat of an Allied Military Force, freedom of movement Iraq-wide, and a No-Fly-Zone Iraq-wide. Then as the Hussein Regime capitulated, the inspections would have revealed their findings and Truth!

Diplomacy. Whether on the international stage or behind closed door (only when applicable) the U.S. Government has the ways and means to convince all nations, friend and foe alike along with neutrals of Our ideas and suggestions to solutions world problems. The Power of America lies not only with Our Military Forces, but through Our Power of Persuasion, be it through economics, politacal, technological, and even cultural means, and We must not forget Our ability to twist arms and remind foreign leaderships and governments of WHO it was that HELPED, SAVED, and GAVE in their times of need. With Our abilities, We could have lead the International Community and built a True Alliance that would have achieved inspection results, even if military force had to have been used, the outcome would have been different.

Another Diplomatic Effort, For Todays Situation. After proclaiming Our Mistakes in Iraq, reapproach the International Community, discuss and persuade, offer suggestions to solve the chaos, and build a concenses which will lead to an alliance, and the U.S. will lead a new international effort to bring about a peace. Once We include the International Community in the decision making process,(without compromising Our Security), a True Alliance can be built, and a new request for international forces to help bring a stability and peace to Iraq can be sent out worldwide, and once this force is assembeled and operational, the U.S. will begin to reduce Our troop levels, and bring a large number of Our Sons and Daughters Home.

Building An Allied Military Force. With the U.S. leading the way, a true and viable force can be molded from Our Militarys' experience thus far. A Multi-National Observers and Stability Force (similar to the Multi-Force Observers in the Sinai) can be created, made operational, and deployable by the Summer of 2006. Currently the U.S. has nearly 140,000 troops in the Iraq, and a number more in the theater of operations there in Southwest Asia. There are a number of countries that have contributed troops in the present Coalition, from small to large contributions. With the creation of the Multi-National Observers and Stability Force, this new Alliance will be able to build a force with large numbers of troops assigned from other countries, military, and political organizations. Nations such as India, Russia, New Zealand, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, Canada, and Kazakhstan would be excellent examples of individual countries. While Nato, the European Union, the African Union, The Commonwealth of Independent States (former Soviet Republics), ANZUS (Australia-New Zealand-U.S.), SEATO (Southeast Asia Treaty Organization), and The OAS (Organization of American States) would be organiztional sources to contribute to the cause.

Here is an example of what troop contributions
could look like.

The U.S. - 50,000 in Iraq, with 10,000 in Theater.
The Commonwealth of Independent States;
Russia - 10,000
Ukraine - 10,000
Kazakhstan - 7,000
Azeribajian - 1,000
Armenia - 1,000
Georgia - 1,000
Belarus - 1,000
Turkmenistan - 1,000
The African Union;
Nigeria - 1,000

With this Possibility, there could be a peaceful outcome in Iraq.

Out To Left Field!

I wonder if the Secularist-Humanist-Political-Left-Wingers in the Legeslative, Executive, and Judical Branches of Government at all levels; Local, State, and Federal...

The Liberal-Politicaly Correct-Inclusive-On The Verge Of Becoming More Herectical Church Leadership...

the CEO's of the Corperations...

the Elitist-Left-Wing-"You're Not Allowed To Think That Way"-Arrogant Intelligenstia-University/College Professors...

the Rich-Elitist-Urban-Pioneers who drive their Mercedes/Volkswagon SUV's, their Volvo's, their Jeeps and Honda's out of their recently renovated three story 'energy effecient...HA!' 1883 Victorian Homes, cottages, and bungalows where the orginial neighborhood folks had to leave because 'they don't fit in'(reason being, they were working class whites and blacks who didn't meet 'up to standards'), and whereas these Elitniks have visually improved the old neighborhoods, their 'political correct snobbery' makes way for their kind of rich folks to follow on in and cultivate their 'snootery' and continue a form of class division!...

...Anyways...and last but not least, those Know It All-Nature Worshipping-Save The Amoeba-Sloppy Dressed-Anarchy Loving-War Kills, But Lets Make Sure That I Can Abort My Unborn and Euthenize My Elderly Great Uncle In The Rest Home-Arrogant College Students...

I wonder...if any of these Individuals or groups...have Served, would Serve, are Serving, or have a Son or Daughter, a Father or Mother, or Brother or Sister that is Serving in Our Armed Forces in Iraq?

Here's Another!

I wonder if the Theo-Political Right Wingers in the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches of Our Government...the Religious Evangelical Leadership...the CEO's of the major corperations...and the rich suburbanites that drive their Hummers, their Cadilacs, and their SUV's out of their 'Mac-Mansion' subdivisions with their 'W-The President' and 'The Power Of Pride' bumper stickers glaring backwards at the world...have a Son or Daughter, a Husband or Father in Our Armed Forces serving in Iraq?

The American Service Man And Woman...serving with Honor, Dignity, Trust, Distinction, Loyality, and Love Of Nation.

To which We The Citizenry owe so much.

We do this through keeping Them in Our hearts and minds.

And through Our Citizenship of questioning the actions of Our Government.

A Question For The Day...How is that We The People can allow the present Administration continue this Illegal Iraq War? The answer...The Opium Of The People...entertainment and sports...this keeps us 'doped up' to where 'Citizenship' is on the back burner of our lives...and the corperations sell the Opium to us in overdoses...this so they can profit more...and their buddies in the Administration and the The Congress (The Voice Of We The People) can further their varied agendas...of course to their GAIN and PROFIT as well...the REASON they have sold out the Citizens and the Republic.

There is an answer and antidote to todays question...Citizenship By The People...whether you are Right, Center, or Left...whether you are Libertarian, Republican, Socialist, Jeffersonian, Democrat, Reform, Nationalist, or Green...YOUR RESPONSIBLITY AND DUTY TO THE NATION IS CITIZENSHIP!...and this is the answer and the sobering of Our Land.

Thinking Again About The Holy Land.

Yesterdays' Blog Thought was about Our Foreign Policy in the Holy Land, and the need for religious groups to begin talks then invite nations and international organizations into the discussions to hopefully find a solution to conflict between the Jewish and Palestinian Peoples'.

Today, the first thought should be simple and proclaimed aloud by everyone involved...and that is about PEOPLE...children, women, men, the elderly, and families...PEOPLE who just want to live life as The Good Lord intended...Loving You Neighbor.

Although people have always been in conflict, I have learned thru conversations with an Arab-Christian Lady and thru several books that prior to the 1948 declaration of the state of Israel, Jews, Arab-Muslims, and Arab-Christians generally got along well, living in a neighborly way, knowing and caring about their neighbors, and as a good example, when for instance the end of the Muslim Holy Fast of Ramadan ended, the Arab-Muslims would invite their Jewish and Arab-Christian neighbors over to celebrate and feast TOGETHER! AS NEIGHBORS! As friends, and as Brothers and Sisters of the Human Family...who if I remember correctly...were made in The Image Of God...and Jews and Arabs are COUSINS...they are of Abraham.

About the Palestinian People of the Holy Land. They have a right to this Land. They have lived there for many centuries and many generations, living off the Land by herding livestock, farming vegatables and fruit groves and living in towns and villages. While most Palestinians are Muslim, there is a considerable sized Christian community made up of Orthodox Christian, Roman Catholic Chirstian and various Protestant Christian groups. We must remember that The Christian Faith has been there since The Year Of Our Lord Thirty Three...and Christians have been there since. Whether They are Muslim or Christian, the Palestinians are a People of accomplishment, not only in the Arab World where They are known for Their educacation and professionalism, but to all the world.


About the Jewish People of the Holy Land. They have a right to this Land. It is through Them that God has given Salvation to All the World! It was the Prophets who would 'Tell The Story'. It was The Law given to Moses. It was The Ark Of The Covenant. It was God In His Temple. It is the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and His Sons, of Joseph, Joshua, Jonah, David, and the many others. It is the story of the falling down of the Jews, and Gods' Love helping Them up again, and how that would apply to Everyone. And it is this 'application of loving help' that would bring in, and graft the Gentiles into this Salvation Of All...Jews and Gentiles...All Made In The Image Of God. The Hebrew People have given the world a Holy Legacy and an Accomplishment Of Humanity.

This Image is Bloodied every day...Palestinians Fighters bombing non-military targets inside the state of Israel...Israeli aircraft bombing targets in Palestinian neighborhoods...and it is the Innocents' that perish...the civilians that suffer. Human Dignity is that which is lost. And Human Rights are ignored in the streets, on the battlefield, and in the political fields, and this is where the dark side of Our Human Nature is sowed and harvested.

Those Israelis in the Likud Party and other organizations promoting 'the destruction of the Palestinian People and Their hope for a State' by continuing the policies of Settlements in the Occupied Territories, the construction of the 'security wall and fence system', the destruction of Palestinian homes and properties whether as 'retaliatory strikes' or 'land grabs', the continued ignoring of land deeds which Palestinians hold and have for generations, the obstructions of individual travel throughout the Holy Land, the continued harassment of North American and European Christians who try to assist Palestinians in Their daily life, and the continued impoverishment of the Palestinians and their economy, shouldn't both fair well in this 'land of plenty'.

Then, there are those in the Palestinian Community who advocate for the 'destruction of the Jews and the state of Israel', the commiting of an ethnic cleansing and genocide, which, could be said is being waged against them as well. There are those Palestinian who see themselves as 'freedom fighters' and 'liberators'(as there are some who are), but when genocidal rhetoric is screamed and acts of terrorism is used against particular civilian targets, then they loose the cause, loosing sympathy and support from those who could give legitimate help in the form of diplomactic, security, and economic, assistance, and their dream of a Independent State will not be acheived. Palestinian feelings are understandable, the death of family members and friends would bring out vengence in any of us, not matter your race or faith, we would strike out and seek justice...as is true for Israeli citizens who suffer the same. While there are justified grievences with the Israeli government, the ideology, rhetoric, and actions of militant Palestinian groups and their continued use of terror as a preferred weapon of choice is only destructive to Their Dreams of a Palestinian State.

A dangerous volatile poisonous weed that is thrown into this 'dark harvest of hate' is the Christian Zionist Movement. Now it must be said that their individual 'Love For The Lord' is apparently clear and is not in question here. And their study of Holy Scripture is admirable and must be commended. And it is true to say that most are real and true Christians. But their theology, ideology, and religious-political thinking on eschatology is just what it is, and must be named, it is Heresy! And this heresy will lead individuals, churches, organizations(religious and political) and nations down a destructive diabolical path. This Movement is not only made up of religious leaders and their congregations, but also political leaders and figures whose influence on policy decisions is monumental and has a tremedous impact on Our Nation and Its Course. Church and organization leaders like Pat Roberston, Gary Bauer, Jerry Falwell, and Robert Upton encourage Our foreign Policy to support the state of Israel 'no matter what'...even when the Jewish Government commits 'ethnic cleansing' and 'acts of terror' against the Palestinian People. The religious and political ideology of the 'Theo-political Right' fails to recognize the Palestinian and all Arabs as 'People'. It is my observation that they ignore the Arab Christian...I think this is because 'they' are not Evangelical, Penecostal, Baptist, Presbyterian, or any other Protestant group. Most Arab Christians are Orthodox Christian and Roman Catholic Christian, and the others being of the Coptic, Nestorian, and Assyrian Churches. This failing to 'recognize' is very un-Christ Like, Racist, and hurtful to their Arab Brothers and Sisters in Christ. The Policy Makers in Our Republic that are listening to the Christian Zionist Movement are making decisions that is setting America on 'path of perpetual war' with the Arab and Muslim World. This 'path' could be avoided if Our Nations Policy Makers had a 'Fair-Handed' and 'Even-Approach' to the situation in the Holy Land. And if we applied this, then America would be truly respected.

U.S. Policy in the Holy Land should be fair and even-handed, a policy that would express concern for the welfare, safety, and security for the Jewish People and THE Palestinian People, both of whom are inhabitants and have a right to live in this Land. If we were to press for the RIGHTS for both Peoples, then Our presence in the Middle East would be more accepted and viewed then by everyone as a 'true broker' for a peaceful outcome of the Palestinian/Jewish Conflict. The religious leadership of the various Christian Churches, the various Judiac groups, and the Muslim community should come together to sponser talks, then invite the U.S., the Russian Federation, the EU, the Arab League, the African Union, and the UN into the discussions to seek an answer for this Land.

In Our United States, We Should Consider Reviving The State And Territorial Guard For A True Common Defense.

Each State and Territory should have a Defense Force structured similarly to the U.S. Marine Corps, having ground, air, and maritime assets.

The size of each force would be similar to that of the U.S. Armys' Armored Cavalry Regiment. With high mobility, heavily armed, and a self-contained logistics and supply system.

A Command-Control-Communication System would fall strictly under the jurisdiction and the command of the Governer and State(or Territorial)General. With Coordinating Generals on the National Security Council, Joint-Chiefs-Of-Staff, Pentagon, Norad,and on the National Airborne Command Post. This to coordinate defense and security operations.

Training of State and Territorial Guard Troops would take place in Western Nebraska at a newly created Joint Guard Training Center which would include basic and skill training operations.

When a State or Territory is unable to fill the ranks with its' own Residents, then recruiting request are sent out nationwide, with relocation and residency benifits.

The number of troops for each State Guard Force would number around 7,500 personnel total. With 6,000 Active Duty Members and 1,500 Reserve Members. Guard Forces in the Territories would number small due to populations and would vary for each. State Guard personnel nationwide would number around 300,000 Active Duty and 75,000 Reserve Component, and Territorial Guard personnel would number 1,400 Active Duty and 850 Reserve Componet.

The National Guard Buereau would be deactived. Which means that the U.S. Army Naitonal Guard and U.S. Air National Guard would be reorganized into a seperate branch of the Armed Forces, The U.S. National Guard, birthed if you will from the U.S. Army as the Air Force was in 1946. The personnel, material, and equipment of the Air National Guard would be redistrubited and reorganized back into the Air Force and Air Force Reserve. The number of personnel in the newly organized U.S. National Guard would number around 160,000 members with both an Active Duty and Reserve Component.

The Mission of the State and Territorial Guard. It is to provide for the Common Defense of Our Communities, States, and Our Beloved Native Land-Our Nation. Providing security for Our Citizenry that We may govern Ourselves FREELY! Providing security for Our infrastructure, nuclear power facilities, pipelines, communication systems, food, water, and medical supplies and facilities, railway, roadway, and air transportation systems, power grids and facilities, dams, critical industrial sites, and port facilities. After the Federal Government establishes 'a clear and visible border' with security fences, steel walls, vehicle birms, wide stone ditches, and 'Controlled-Entry-Points' for commerical and individual traffic, then the U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. National Guard Forces, and State Guard Forces from Border States would conduct Joint-Border-Protection-Operations to secure Our Borders.

And after establishing a Fair Taxing System, Citizens, Small and Medium Sized Buisnesses, Corperations, the States and the Federal Government will be able to finance the State and Territorial Guard, and we would have another Force in Our Common Defense.

While the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard are currently 'The All Volunteer Force' The ideal of a 'newly created' State and Territorial Guard and the U.S. National Guard should fall under a 'mandatory conscription' so that ALL eligable young men and women can fulfill their Duty and State, Territory, and National Service. And then Our Land will have a Citizenry that is knowledgabe about Our National Security.

The Forces of the State and Territorial Guard fall strictly under the jurisdiction, leadership and operational command of the State/Territorial Governor and State/Territorial General. Again there being 'Coordinating Generals' on the National Level so as to coordinate 'Defense and Security Operations' during wartime and natural disaster relief efforts. Under no circumstance will the State and Territorial Guard be deployed overseas, their tasks and duties is to their Communities, States, and Territories.

A Beautiful Saturday Here In East Tennessee! Summer is giving way to Autumn ever so gently, as a soft breeze from the West. Skies blue and the air dry, reminds me of days past under The Big Skies Of Montana. Such days and rememberences are those soft breezes, returning in my heart and mind to not only the past, but the present moment, feeling the breeze and winds of the Prairies', the aroma of the pines, sagebrush, and sweetgrasses, the unending skies that harken your gaze, be it in the 'heart of the sunrise', the slow summer sunsets, the moon shining upon a blanket of snow on the rolling prairies', the colours of many shades at the setting and the rising of Our Star...I am there now...

Friday's Thought. Just recently checked out the book "God's Politics-A New Vision for Faith and Politics in America" by Jim Wallis. Looks to be an eye opener, in fact started reading it last night and couldn't put it down to sleep! It definetly will make one think. And if you're a Christian, then this is a must. And if you're a Citizen, then this is a must. I wonder if Herr Pat Robertson or any of the other 'Evangelical Bombadiers' would pick up this book? Bombs' Away to thinking and feeling!
