Wishing a MERRY CHRISTMAS and the celebrating of The Twelve Days of Christmas to the "Politically-Correct-Snootering-Extremist-antiChristian-ACLUite-Secular Zionist-Secret Society Socialite-Liberals" here in the American Republic and around the World!

In Our Land Freedom!

And this includes the FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION!

And not the RESTRAINING AND RESTRICTION OF RELIGION!

Where under Our Blue Skies did these dim-witted moronic empty-thinking idiots come up the such bellyshufflingtomfoolery?!

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!

NEW EDITIONS TO THE PREVIOUS ENTRY ON WITHDRAWING FROM IRAQ...AND MY PEASENT THOUGHTS. ALSO NEW COMMENTS ON "WHERE IS IT?".

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 promotes a restructering of the National Guard Bueareu, redistrubting personnel and assests of the Air National Guard into Air Force Reserve and Active Air Force, and reshuffling personnel and resources of the Army National Guard into a new branch of the Armed Forces, The U.S. National Guard, that will have both active and reserve components.

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.

Saint Michael, Commander of The Heavenly Armies.

The Roman Catholic Christian Church has a most beautiful prayer-request to Saint Michael.

Saint Michael The Archangel,

Defend us in battle,

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil,

May God Rebuke Him, we humbly pray,

And do Thou, O Prince of The Heavenly Host,

By The Divine Power of God,

Cast into Hell, Satan, and all his evil spirits, that roam now throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls, AMEN!

A most powerful Prayer written in the late 19th Century by The Patriarch of The West, The Bishop of Rome, Pope Leo XIII.

........................................

And here are some Prayers that Orthodox Christians say daily;

Lord Jesus Christ, Son Of The Living God, Have Mercy Upon Me A Sinner, AMEN!

Our Lords Prayer,

The various Prayers giving Glory, Honor, Worship, Thanksgiving, and Praise to The Most Holy Trinity,

The Prayer of Saint Ephriam, a Syrian Father of the Third Century A.D., a Prayer of Humility,

The Prayer Requests to The Myriad of The Saints and Angels of Our Lord,

The Reciting of The Holy Psalms (they are Prayers) of The Saint and Prophet David,

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, Have Mercy Upon Us!...this said three times,

And the list goes on and on...because The Church is as deep as the sea in the realm of Prayers,

And finally...

In The Name Of The Father, In The Name Of The Son, And In The Name Of Holy Spirit, Both Now And Ever, And Into The Ages Of Ages, AMEN!

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 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

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

To Be Continued...

...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.

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.

To Be Continued...

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!

Here is another thought. The present politicians of the Executive Branch, their cohorts in the Legislative branch, and their extremely wealthy supporters, whether individuals, organizations, or corperations are ALL FOR THIS ILLEGAL BLOODBATH OF A WAR!...and one question SHOULD BE ASKED ALOUD!...would these supporters, who cheerlead and preach this profit-gaining-religious war... send their children into the field of battle?!....with the exception of a few families whose members do serve in the Military....I think the answer would be...no!

A Return To Fair Taxation. It's simple...all should pay Their Fair Share, individuals of the working class and the wealthy, small and medium sized buisnesses, and the corperations.
Here are some thoughts and ideals:

A) A Flat Rate Tax of 10% on individual incomes...poor, middle,
and wealthy class.

B) State Sales Tax of 2.5% on purchases other than food and
drinking water.

C) Federal Sales Tax of 2.5% on purchases other than food and
drinking water.

D) No Loop Holes for the wealthy and corperations.

E) Small and Medium buisnesses should pay local, state, and
federal taxes, but not to the extent that they are strangled
and must close shop. And an end to breaks for foreigners open-
ing buisnesses.

F) Corperations should pay their share of taxes, with again, no
loop holes, just pay as all do.

G) An end to current property tax practices, such as when local
property accessors drive by and increase a home-owners taxes
just because they planted a dwarf holly, placed a swing on
the front porch, painted their gutters, added a window air
conditioning unit, or planted a new flower bed. New accessment
procedures that are simple and fair to both the homeowner
and community should be implemented.

H) Vehicle Taxation should be small, simple, and universal on
a state level. All vehicle 'inspection-stickers', a form of
taxing should end nation wide.

I) Fuel Taxes on gasonline purchases for the consumer should end.
Seems that record profits for the oil companies should be
taxed.

J) All Foreign Individuals and Corperations should pay taxes.

K) Members of the U.S. Armed Forces should never pay income taxes.
Their sacrifice to the Nation is in of itself a tax.

L) Personal Property Taxes on such items as furniture, appliances,
electronics, tools, and farm machinery SHOULD END IMMEDIATLY!
After all, taxes were paid at the time of purchase were
they not?!

M) Options on School Taxes should made avaliable to parents
choosing either a public shool system, parochial schools,
or home-schooling. The School Taxes paid by the parents
would go to the Option on School Taxes they choose, and
the education of Our Young People will be funded by the
People.


And these are thoughts and ideals that all Citizens should think about, discuss, debate, and as Constituents, ask OUR Elected Representives to implement for the Betterment of The Citizenery and The Republic!

Once again, from somewhere in a Citizens Mind. The War in Iraq is wrong! It's based on the LIES of the Neo-Conservatives who want a world-wide American-Anglo-Zionist-Coperate Empire! LIES that they may profit from this illegal war...Eisenhower warned us of the military-industrial-and-now-congressional complex! This war is not part of the so-called 'war on terror'! This war is for the gaining of control of the Iraqi oilfields and to profit in private from them...and for the destablization of the Arab world so that Zionist-State-of Israel can further ethnically cleanse the Holy Land of the Palestinian People(do the Jewish People deserve to live in the Holy Land...you betcha'!...as do the Palestinian People).

Isn't 'ethnic cleansing' morally wrong anywhere and everywhere?! Where is the American and international community when it comes to Africa? A Holocaust is being implemented in the Dafur Region of Sudan as well as against the Black Christians and Animist of Southern Sudan! In Europe, A Holocaust is being played out against the Serbs and The Orthodox Church in Kosovo! Again in Africa, a Holocaust took place in Rwanda in the late 90's against the Tutsi Christians. In Latin America, what of the condition of the Native Indian Population? And the world hem-hawed around when Muslim militants backed by Indonesian military forces butchered East Timorese Christians!

And the world is deaf-dumb-and mute to the Forgotten People Of The Holy Land And Middle East...The Christians...Palestinian, Assyrian, Greek, the Coptic Christians of Egypt, the Ancient Ethiopian Christians, the Melkite and Maronites of Lebenon, the Greeks and Armenians in Turkey, the continued desecration of Christian sites in Northern Cyprus, the continued denial by the ruthless Turkish government of their Genocide against Armenian and Greek Christians from the late 1800's till the early 1920's (and Our Government does not press the Turks because of geo-political-military-economics)...what is to be said of these Forgotten?!...what of Their Right To Exsistence and Justice!?

It seems to me that the 'Dirt of Greed' governs the actions of those that could make a difference. Why didn't Bill Clinton send a battalion of Marines into Rwanda to lead the way in the halting of a slaughter? Why doesn't the present administration push justice in Kosovo? Why has the UN's response been so damn slow in Dafur? Why is Our Government not playing fairly in the Holy Land? and why doen't the OAS fight harder for the Natives of Latin America? Why didn't the UN/Nato/EU recognize and move against the terrorism of the KLA in Kosovo?

Again, it is the 'Dirt of Greed' and to some degree a form of prejudice and racism against the those 'south of the equator' and against the poor 'brown skins' north of it, and the possibility of the building of a 'New Iron Curtain' against the Slavs and their Orthodox Church(a plucking of the wings of the Double-Headed-Byzatine-Rus Eagle if you will) ...their demise, hurt, and destruction doesn't effect the rich-mans' pocket book, and these People don't have anything that the 'Whore of Babylon', a.k.a the Western-Secularist-Humanist-post Christian-Corperate world wants to take with little or no compensation. WE MUST THINK!

Another Day In The U.S. And again some thoughts on Our Condition. The Citizens pay their taxes...and the rich and powerful do not pay their fair share, you might say that the 'sheep' pays for the 'lions velvelted walls'(a thought from a song from 'Blind Mans Zoo' from 10,000 maniacs) and we the 'sheep do pay dearly'.

As Taxpayers, we have a responsibility to help in the funding of Our Government, so that it may function, and that it provide the Citizenery services such as the maintaining of Our road, railway, and air-transportation systems, the Common-Sense-Defense of Our Land and Our 'real' interest overseas, of regulating Our communications, financial, energy, enviromental, natural resources, national and international commerce, and the list goes on.

But to be the Ones, who again, bares' the burden...a beasts' burden...is ethicly and moraly WRONG! Why not, should those whose wealth is built on the Working-Class here and abroad, not pay their...the lions share?! Why not, the individuals and corperations whose richness is beyond imagination, pay their portion to fund the Country?! A fair share indeed should be placed on the 'lions' shoulders so the Republic may work on a daily basis. Do they not enjoy the benifits of the living in the Land?! But yet, it's the Working Poor and Middle Classes that pays the taxes and are NOT FULLY REPRESENTED IN OUR CONGRESS?! The corperations and their vile lobbyist (the 'third house of congress') are represented FULLY! And the laws are passed so their interest and not that of the People are represented! This is a National Travisty that, if not checked and reversed, will kill Our Republic...and an Empire will replace it...and we the Working-Class will be the wealthy's serfs, indentured-servents, and ultimately, their slaves.

TAXATION WITHOUT FULL REPRESENTATION WILL BE THE WEAKENING OF WE THE PEOPLE!...and Our Duty to prevent this?...Citizenship.

And From My Heart. It's sometimes difficult to write down my thoughts without sounding like some sort of 'broken-record-of-rhetoric'...repeating the same thing, and same themes...using the same words and expressions. I do apologize for this and wish that I had a better command of 'presentation' and Our English tongue.

In conversations I sometimes will experience a satisfaction of getting my ideals across. And when thinking about the state that America is in...the thoughts will be there in my head...sometimes organized, and sometimes not. And I just get so frustrated with what the Nation is going thru...economically, militarily, politically, and socially. And I am no expert nor qualified to solve them. But I am a Free Citizen, a voice to be expressed...thru the Voice Of The People...Our Local Forums,Our State Legislature and Our Congress...a voice in conversations with other Citizens...a voice thru this Blog...a voice thru Civic Activism, again whether on the Local or National level.

And WE ALL should make Our Voices heard! For if we don't...then the Republic DIES...if we don't...Our Freedom(true freedoms)DIE...if we don't...then who will speak for us?...for once They are lost...then to regain, may be impossible...and what for Our Descendents?...most likely either a totalitarian or authoritarian form of government, with technology and wealth on their side...no one may regain what will be lost...and this time the 'powers-at-be' could very well be the corperations and their 'henchmen', those politicians who sold out the Republic so that a stealthy, camoflauged, thirst-for-wealth, blood-thirsty, and evil form of tyranny would come into existance, a government based on unadulterated-capitalism, a greed so unchecked that ALL will suffer...people the world over and the world itself, the enviroment, all life...and for what...power and money. A form of 'corperate-communism' within a nation-state or worldwide...imagine a worldwide corperation with it's worldwide banking system, incahoots with an authoritarian international government or a confederation of governments...this could be the results of Our Republics' death and the trampling upon the peoples of our world. And this Empire may be built on the selling out of Our Dear Republic. There are those in Our Land, both Right and Left who will grasp at such an opportunity. So that they may become RICH! These elected officials are selling out to the big corperations...oil, automotive, and pharmacuticals to name a few...all at the expense of precious human life...in this War...G.I. and Innocent Iraqi...so that the present administration and their Congressional supporters can further their idea of a worldwide American-Anglo-Zionist-Corperate Empire.

And Once Again! You know there are those who will accuse me of being "un-American", "against Our Troops", "un-patriotic", "un-Christian", "on the side of our enemies", "against the Holy Bible", "a Flag burner", "a liberal", "one who...if you don't love America then you can leave it", and "one who hates Our Freedoms"....well these accusations are usually levied by those whose Ideal Of Being American is waving the Flag(a good thing to do in the right frame of mind), plastering their vehicles with red,white and blue magnets and bumper-stickers, chanting U.S.A. at those who question the governments' actions, and listening to certain Christian ministers hailing on a world wide holy war against the the non-believers, thinking that the only Godly nations in the world are the U.S., the U.K., and the state of Israel...and that the rest of the folks in the world are second class and owe everything to their White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant-Zionist Overlords for showing them the Illumined Path To Being First Class...and these are my Fellow Citizens who will hurl such painted stones at me...claiming that thinking for myself, and not by a political agenda...and not following a single individual in the the form of our current president(isn't this a form of "king worship"?)...They will claim me as a threat to Our Beloved America...with these claims thrown at me...I can only say..."Isn't this a Free Republic?"..."to question the politicians and their actions...isn't this a pillar of government established by the Founders Of Our Constitutional Republic...to ask, to question, and to debate against, as Free Citizens, so that the Essence of the Republic may not give way to Empire. We must, as it is Our Duty, keep asking, aloud from our rooftops, these questions to each other,and to Our Elected Represenatives in the Branch of Government that is the Voice Of We The People".

Another Day In Our Fair Republic! And a thought...it is not only privilage, but a duty of All Citizens to question the actions of Our Government...because it is Ours'!...the politicians are our servents, as are the employees of the Government work for the Taxpaying Citizen...we must question their actions...so as to safe-guard the Constitution and preserve Our Freedoms and Our Republic...Remember that we are..."We The People"...so therefore..."We Are The Government".

Another Day In Our Beloved Land...and here are some thoughts. As I begin to exercise an example of "The Freedom of Speech". And before expressing what I think and feel, allow me to give a list of topics, and later, my observations of their effect upon Our Republic.

A) The current war that Our Armed Forces in Iraq is engaged in.
B) The individuals and organizations that are promoting, encoura-
ging, and cheering on this war.
C) The continued support that Our Nation gives to the state of
Israel, which includes economic, political, military, particular
social and psychological support.
D) The New Royalty in America and in fact the World...the corpera-
tions and finacial institutions, both on a national and inter-
national level.
C) The uneven and unfair balance of Our Nations Foreign Policy
in the Near East concerning the Palestinian people and the
Jewish people.
D) The questions of whether "National Securtity Interest" are
actually "Corperate Interest". And this at the expense of
precious human life and the life of the enviroment and
ultimately, our lives.

And these are some of the topics which I an unworthy Orthodox Christian and peasent, yet a Free Citizen of the Republic, will attempt to express feelings and thoughts on.

Hello once again to the wide, wide world of everything! Mr Gary here after a very long silence...several years in fact...but now making an attempt so this may become habitual...was told in the begining by Mr Chris (the Chap who introduced me to the Realm of Blogging) that this was a theraputic way of expressing ones self, to get things off and out of your system...and this will be my effort...poor I'm sure it will be!

The way in which I hope to express myself is "Blogging My Thoughts On The Face Of Our Nation And Republic". And this I hope to achieve as a Free Citizen. In recent times, as conversations and debates about our Dear Land would take place...whether peaceful or heated...I found it sometimes difficult to express my true heartfelt feelings and ideals...alot of this being that my knowledge of our English tongue is rather poor and needs quite abit of work...another reason, to really express your "true ideology" on such a highly important subject, it requires searching oneself, figuring on what one really believes, organizing these beliefs, and with much prayer and effort...place it...to my fellow Country Men and Women, the World, and to myself.
