The Year is 2012
and America is once again in crisis.
The Freedom and Liberty won at great price and bequeathed to us by generations of Patriots is in eminent peril...it is time to revisit the words of Thomas Paine
In 1776, Thomas Paine opened his famous pamphlet, "The American Crisis," with these words: "THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated."
As I write the date is June 14, 2012 which is both the 235th anniversary of the adoption of our nation's flag and the 237th anniversary of the establishment of the United States Army.
Now....Excerpts from
The “March of Freedom”
From Reagan to Bush
By Paul Kengor
Two Presidents, One Idea
Twenty-five years ago, Ronald Reagan delivered what some consider one of the greatest speeches — if not the greatest speech — of his presidency. In an address to members of the British parliament at Westminster Palace, he spoke words at once powerful and prophetic regarding lack of Freedom in the Soviet Union:
'In an ironic sense, Karl Marx was right. We are witnessing today a great revolutionary crisis. . . . But the crisis is happening not in the free, non-Marxist West, but in the home of Marxism-Leninism, the Soviet Union. It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of history by denying freedom and human dignity to its citizens.
What I am describing now is a plan and a hope for the long term — the March of Freedom and Democracy which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the Freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people. . . .
For the ultimate determinant in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rockets, but a test of wills and ideas — a trial of Spiritual Resolve: the values we hold, the Beliefs we cherish, the Ideals to which we are dedicated.What kind of people do we think we are? . . . Free people, worthy of freedom and determined not only to remain so, but to help others gain their freedom as well. . . .
Let us now begin a major effort to secure the best — a crusade for freedom that will engage the faith and fortitude of the next generation. For the sake of peace and justice, let us move toward a world in which all people are at last free to determine their own destiny.
The initial draft, prepared by speechwriter Tony Dolan, was heavily edited by Reagan himself. And, as with most of his speeches, Reagan had to fight to prevent moderates and “pragmatists” at the White House and the State Department from gutting the speech of the very features that made it meaningful and memorable, including a section he personally penciled: “What I am describing now is a policy and a hope for the long term — the march of freedom and democracy which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history.”
The Westminster address envisioned the expansion of freedom and democracy into that part of the world that needed it more than any other: Eastern Europe, the Soviet empire, “the heart of darkness,” as Reagan called it. Until there was freedom and democracy there, he said, there would be no peace.
Nor was he merely predicting such a change; he would make it the policy of his administration. He would try to reverse the Soviet hold on the region and thereby reverse the Soviet empire, reverse the Cold War, and reverse the course of history.
Such an effort, said Reagan, would constitute a “crusade for freedom.” In the 1950s, he had signed on to General Lucius Clay’s Crusade for Freedom; now he was resurrecting and spearheading it. He added, “This is precisely our mission today: to preserve freedom as well as peace. It may not be easy to see, but I believe we live now at the turning point ” — a historic crossroads.
That March of Freedom
Ronald Reagan left the presidency the third week of January 1989. By the end of that year, Solidarity candidates had swept 99 of 100 seats in a free and fair election in communist Poland, the Berlin Wall had crashed in a soon-to-be-reunified Germany, Vaclav Havel had left prison for the presidency of Czechoslovakia, and the continent ’s worst living dictator, Romania’s Nicolai Ceausescu, had been lined up against a wall by the masses and shot on Christmas Day — a day he had sought to ban.
Two years later, the Soviet Union itself ceased to exist, and the Cold War was over.
Now, as a retired President, Reagan began what he called “the sunset of my life” in California, a sunrise of freedom set the world aglow.
During the 1970s, Reagan had often bemoaned the lack of freedom in the world, turning in his speeches to data from Freedom House marking the number of free and unfree nations. As president, he dedicated himself to improving those numbers.
By the early 1990s, we could look to the same source to demonstrate the degree of success of the “march of freedom”: In 1980 there were 56 democracies in the world; by 1990, there were 76. The numbers continued upward, hitting 91 in 1991, 99 in 1992, 108 in 1993, and 114 in 1994. Thirteen years after he’d entered the Oval Office, the number of free nations had doubled; by 1994, 60 percent of the world’s nations were democracies.
By the end of the violent twentieth century, which had seen over 50 million perish in two world wars and over 100 million murdered by communist governments, 120 of the world’s 192 nations were free. Outside of Western Europe, 90 percent of Latin American and Caribbean nations were considered democracies, along with 91 percent of Pacific Island states and 93 percent of the nations of East Central Europe and the Baltic area — i.e., the former Soviet region.
Yet there was one part of the world immune to this wave of freedom: the Middle East — the least democratic region on the planet and, perhaps not coincidentally, the most violent. A 1999-2000 survey by Freedom House (done, importantly, before September 11, 2001) found that an astonishing zero of the 16 Arab countries in the Middle East were democratic, the worst rate on the globe.
Freedom’s Dungeon
Now, against great odds, another Republican president attempted to extend Ronald Reagan’s March of Freedom to that one area on earth where it has been most resisted.
Agree or not, September 11, 2001 taught George W. Bush something significant: Regardless of whether Iraq was in any way linked to that event, or to al Qaeda, or to terrorism generally —
for the record, throughout the 1990s the Clinton State Department rightly listed Iraq as one of the world’s two chief sponsors of terrorism and devoted more attention to Iraq than to any other country in its final annual report —
the forty-third president concluded that the pathology of Middle East dictatorship and violence had to be addressed, especially in a world in which 'wmd' technology was coming increasingly within reach of any tyrant.
How to turn the Middle East around? The president concluded that there was only one hope: freedom — political and economic freedom. Indeed, in the academic field of international relations, one of the few practical debates of the 1990s was the “democratic peace” thesis. The argument postulates that democracies, generally speaking — and depending on their level of maturity and stability — do not fight one another and are a safer bet to be peaceful. Thus, to the extent that the hostile Middle East becomes more democratic, it is likely to become more peaceful.
George W. Bush began to sow the seeds for such a transformation, beginning in the Middle East’s two most repressive states: Afghanistan and Iraq. After removing the Taliban in the fall of 2001, Bush removed Saddam’s regime in the spring of 2003. It is in those countries that Bush hoped to recommence the march.
The “Age of Liberty”
On November 6, 2003, a few months after Saddam Hussein’s Stalinesque statue was felled in Baghdad, President Bush gave his most far-reaching address. He spoke to the National Endowment for Democracy, a group created by Ronald Reagan and rooted specifically in that Westminster Address of June 1982.
This remains the most revealing speech of George W. Bush’s presidency. It contains an outline for his hopeful legacy, and it quoted Ronald Reagan from start to finish.
“The roots of our democracy can be traced to England and to its Parliament and so can the roots of this organization, ” Bush began. “In June of 1982, President Ronald Reagan spoke at Westminster Palace and declared the turning point had arrived in history. . . . President Reagan said that the day of Soviet tyranny was passing, that freedom had a momentum that would not be halted. He gave this organization its mandate: to add to the momentum of freedom across the world. ”
That mandate, said Bush, was as important 20 years ago as it is today. He noted that observers on both sides of the Atlantic pronounced Reagan’s speech “simplistic and naïve and even dangerous.” “In fact,” he argued, “Ronald Reagan’s words were courageous and optimistic and entirely correct.”
Like Reagan, Bush cited data from Freedom House. The president reminded the crowd that in the early 1970s there were only 40 democracies, but that as the twentieth century ended, there were 120. “[A]nd I can assure you,” he said, to applause, “more are on the way. Ronald Reagan would be pleased, and he would not be surprised.”
President Bush said the world had just witnessed, in little over a generation, the quickest advance of freedom in democracy ’s history. Historians will search for explanations for this occurrence, he noted. However, he said, we already know some of the reasons they will cite. Among them, “It is no accident that the rise of so many democracies took place in a time when the world ’s most influential nation [America] was itself a democracy"...(in a Republic). After World War II, reported Bush, the United States made military and moral commitments in Europe and Asia that protected free nations from aggression and created conditions for new democracies to flourish. Now, in the Middle East, under his administration, America would seek to do so again.
The progression of Liberty, he said, is “a powerful trend” that, if not defended, could be lost.
That progression of liberty, he said, is “a powerful trend” that, if not defended, could be lost. “The success of freedom,” said Bush, “rests upon the choices and the courage of free peoples, and upon their willingness to sacrifice. ” Because the United States and its allies were steadfast, he noted, Germany and Japan became democratic nations that no longer threatened the world. He then explicitly affirmed his faith in democratic peace: “Every nation has learned, or should have learned, an important lesson: Freedom is worth fighting for, dying for, and standing for — and the advance of freedom leads to peace.” “And now,” thinking of the Middle East — and, like Reagan, speaking of a “turning point” — he added: “we must apply that lesson in our own time. We’ve reached another great turning point — and the resolve we show will shape the next stage of the world democratic movement.”
“In many nations of the Middle east,” he continued,
in countries of great strategic importance — democracy has not yet taken root. And the questions arise:
Are the peoples of the Middle East somehow beyond the reach of liberty?
Are millions of men and women and children condemned by history or culture to live in despotism? . . .
I, for one, do not believe it. I believe every person has the ability and the right to be free. . . ."
Some skeptics of democracy assert that the traditions of Islam are inhospitable to representative government. This “cultural condescension,” as Ronald Reagan termed it, has a long history. After the Japanese surrender in 1945, a so-called Japan expert asserted that democracy in that former empire would “never work.” Another observer declared the prospects for democracy in post-Hitler Germany are, and I quote, “most uncertain at best.”. . . Seventy-four years ago, The Sunday London Times declared nine-tenths of the population of India to be “illiterates not caring a fig for politics.”. . . Time after time, observers have questioned whether this country, or that people, or this group, are “ready” for democracy — as if freedom were a prize you win for meeting our own Western standards of progress.
Seeing the Islamic nations of the Middle East as no exception, Bush contended that “in every region of the world, the advance of freedom leads to peace.” The “freedom deficit” in the Middle East had to be changed; doing so would change not just the region but the world.
Importantly, he added that democratic governments in the Middle East “will not, and should not, look like us.” They should reflect their own cultures; they could be constitutional monarchies, federal republics, or parliamentary systems. Moreover, Bush urged that “working democracies always need time to develop — as did American democracy.” America must be “patient” with those nations at different stages of the journey.
It was instructive that at this point in his speech, Bush again borrowed from Reagan in characterizing his own policy: “Therefore,” he said, “the United States has adopted a new policy: a forward strategy of freedom.” Though he did not cite the source for this phrase, it was Ronald Reagan, who declared in a speech on August 26, 1987 in Los Angeles: “Our goal has been to break the deadlock of the past, to seek a forward strategy for world peace, a forward strategy for world freedom ” — as he had done in London in June 1982.
“The advance of freedom is the calling of our time,” Bush concluded. “[I]t is the calling of our country. . . . We [Americans] believe that liberty is the design of nature; we believe that liberty is the direction of history. . . . This is, above all, the age of liberty.” Here, too, it was as if Reagan had entered the room, at least in spirit. “[W]ith all my heart,” Reagan had said in an October 1988 speech at Georgetown University, “I believe that this is the Age of Freedom.”
Though he chose “Age of Liberty” over “Age of Freedom,” Bush meant the same thing.
Finishing the job?
Even before the events of September 11, Bush had declared, in his July 2001 Proclamation 7455 marking Captive Nations Week:
“The 21st century must become the ‘Century of Democracy’.”
Two months later, in a September 19 exchange with congressional leaders and reporters, the president promised:
“We’re going to lead the world to fight for freedom.”
He told Bob Woodward:
“I truly believe that out of this [September 11] will come more order in the world — real progress to peace in the Middle East.”
In other words, this Bush Mission to spread democracy was not — as skeptics have charged — a goal invented to save face and change the objectives of the mission after no 'wmd' stockpiles were immediately found in Iraq.
This had been the intention even prior to Sept. 11th.
The President assigned himself the role of catalyst. A year after September 11th , and more than a year before the National Endowment for Democracy speech and the invasion of Iraq, his administration released its sweeping 2002 National Security Strategy, which promoted the spread of democracy to nations held hostage to despots. This objective, Bush hoped, could bring long-term peace to regions like the Middle East.
The President, convinced that Iraqis, Afghans, and other Middle Easterners would become voters because of an inherent yearning for freedom placed in their hearts by a loving God, reminded journalists in the Roosevelt Room on May 29, 2003, that he had said many times “that freedom is the Almighty God’s gift to each and every individual. I firmly believe that.”
Of course, when he made this claim, those who despise him reacted with scorn as if he were resurrecting some kind of foreign and backward idea. In fact, Bush was saying nothing different from what had been said previously by the likes of Kennedy and Wilson and Jefferson and Madison — and Ronald Reagan who, in his June 1984 speech in Normandy, where a beachhead for freedom had been established in Western Europe 40 years earlier, had called freedom something “worth fighting and dying for.”
Reagan always maintained that freedom is contagious. On May 9, 1982 at his alma mater, Eureka College, Reagan said that the Soviet elite held power and privilege so tightly because, “as we have seen in Poland,” they “fear what might happen if even the smallest amount of control slips from their grasp. They fear the infectiousness of even a little freedom. ” He hoped that just one nation in Eastern Europe, notably Poland, could spark the spread of freedom throughout the region and change history.
What next?
And what of George W. Bush’s task in the Middle East? Remember those Freedom House numbers: 0 for 16.
And yet, to Bush’s credit, we have now seen four major elections, in Afghanistan and Iraq, over the last two years; in each case, millions of people who had never voted before braved bullets and bombs and turned out in numbers of 60 to 80 percent to participate in democratic elections.
Bush was vindicated in his belief that Iraqis would embrace the ballot box. In fact, in terms of directly choosing their own representatives, Iraqis have made far faster progress than did the eighteenth-century Americans and French following their revolutions and new constitutions.
Now, however, the big question is whether this sliver of democratic freedom will hold and bring lasting peace.
If a wave of true political freedom indeed sweeps the Middle East, as it did Eastern Europe after the Cold War — a big “if” — what will history say about George W. Bush? How will we compare him with Ronald Reagan a generation from now?
For one thing, it will need to be noted that, unlike Reagan, who had intended to use his time in office to try to undermine Soviet communism long before the start of his presidency, Bush seized an opportunity he could never have anticipated prior to his. Quite the contrary, the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and a global war on terror were not even a part of George W. Bush ’s geopolitical universe on the day he was sworn in as forty-third president.
That said, if freedom eventually does flower in the Middle East, beginning with Iraq and Afghanistan, it will be a tribute to the efforts of this President. This yields an interesting contrast: For Reagan, there will always be debate among academics over who was more responsible for the collapse of the USSR — Reagan or Gorbachev.
For President Bush, there is no Mikhail Gorbachev.
If he is successful, the dilemma for the historian will be to adequately convey the degree to which he succeeded and endured: As he has pursued what is widely regarded as impossible, he has been savaged by opponents. No future biographer will be able to sufficiently chronicle the white-hot hatred of Bush, including among many in his own party.
George W. Bush clearly identifies with Ronald Reagan in many ways: He says Reagan recognized “that America has always prevailed by standing firmly on principles and never backing down in the face of evil. ” He says Reagan understood that the struggles America faces are “a test of wills and ideas, a trial of spiritual resolve.” “And like the ideology of communism,” he says, invoking Reagan, “Islamic radicalism is doomed to fail.” Prevailing, Bush insists, will require following Reagan’s example of leadership, strategy, vision, and “resolve to stay in the fight until the fight [is] won.”
Choosing
In Ronald Reagan’s October 1964 address on behalf of Barry Goldwater — the famous “Time for Choosing” speech that placed him on a path to the White House — he articulated something that those dubious of George W. Bush ought to consider:
We can preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we can sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children ’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.
If Bush’s effort ends in failure, he will nevertheless be able to tell his children and his children ’s children that he did all that he thought could be done. In his second inaugural, Bush echoed Reagan’s central challenge in that October 1964 speech, reiterated in his May 1981 speech at Notre Dame only days after Pope John Paul ii was shot: Reagan, noted Bush, exhorted his fellow Americans to join him in choosing “to serve in a cause larger than yourself.”
This is not to say that Reagan would have invaded Iraq — that we cannot know. Reagan was extremely judicious about using military force. But this much we do know: Reagan the optimist would at the very least applaud Bush ’s ultimate objective and would advise him to stick to his principles amid the naysayers.
Unlike Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush’s response to the enemy of the century — an enemy he likewise called “evil” — will not win him accolades in his time. In 2004, Bush won reelection by only a few percentage points; in 1984, Reagan was returned to office in a sweep of 49 of 50 states. In 1989, the very year he left Washington, Reagan could turn on his television and happily observe the fruits of his labor.
Bush, however, will need to wait much longer to see any similar legacy. Right now, it seems inconceivable that conservatives (and Americans generally) may one day look back at Bush as fondly as they do Reagan. And though he should have more years ahead of him than Reagan did, Bush himself has averred that his full impact will not be known until after he has left this earth.
The 10-year hiatus between two long ideological battles was characterized by George W. Bush in his second inaugural address as “years of repose, years of sabbatical” between the “shipwreck of communism” and the “day of fire.”
(LJC) And now we in the United States of America come to today.
In Nov. 2008 the people elected a President whose ideas are diametrically opposite and opposed to those of Presidents Reagan and Bush, two men who based their leadership on the basic Commandments of the Constitution of the United States and of the Bill of Rights. In those years the United States of America was led by those who promoted the Freedom of the individual not only in their own country but throughout the world.
In just one year the political agenda has drastically changed direction away from the basic individual Freedoms envisioned by Reagan and Bush for this Land to what we have today, 2010.
The year is 2010
America’s Gathering Tragedy
Excerpts from an article regarding the monetary system
'America's Impending Master Class Dictatorship'
by Stewart Dougherty
The (present) government has announced that during the fiscal years from 2010 through 2019, it will create an additional $9,000,000,000,000.00 ($9 trillion) in deficits, an amount that is almost certain to be understated by trillions given the country’s current economic trajectory.
These deficits and debts are now so gargantuan that they have become surreal abstractions impossible even for sophisticated financiers to begin to comprehend. The common citizen has absolutely no idea what these numbers mean, or imply for his or her future
Unfortunately, there is no Monetary Fountain of Youth, and contrary to the apparent beliefs of the (current) self-deified man-gods in Washington, D.C., the debt and deficits are real, completely out of control, and 100% guaranteed to create catastrophic consequences for the nation and its people
When government “representatives” deliberately sell into slavery the citizens of a so-called free Republic, they have committed treason against those people. This is exactly what has happened in the United States: the citizens have been sold into debt slavery that they and their descendants can never escape.
The enslavement of the American people has been orchestrated by a pernicious group of people who have taken the United States by the throat.....it is now choking the nation to death as it accelerates its master plan to plunder the people’s dwindling remaining assets.
America’s public finances are now so completely dysfunctional and chaotic that something far worse than debt enslavement and monetary implosion, terrible curses unto themselves, looms on the horizon: namely, what may be called a Master Class-sponsored American dictatorship.
Throughout history, the type of situation in which America now finds itself has been a fertility factory for tyranny. The odds of an outright overthrow of the people by the Washington and Wall Street Axis, or more broadly, the Master Class are increasing dramatically. The fact that so few people believe an American dictatorship is possible is exactly why it is becoming likely.
History has proven that oppression works. In fact, it is easy to control a populace, once you control the money, markets, military (including police), media and minions (the recipients of welfare, social security, free health care, government jobs and the like, who are dependent upon the state and likely to be compliant).
This is exactly where the United States is today.
Governments that openly defy the people are either already totalitarian or in the process of becoming so. Monetarily, the United States clearly functions as a totalitarian dictatorship already, with a Federal Reserve that operates in secrecy, creating limitless amounts of debt and currency at will, and showering trillions of dollars upon a favored group of insiders with zero transparency or accountability whatsoever. The U. S. Federal Reserve is so shameless about its dictatorial powers that it flatly refuses to provide details about multi-trillion dollar bailouts and rescues of privileged elites, in open defiance of Congress and the people. The fact that they get away with these blatant acts of defiance demonstrates the true extent of a Master Group chokehold on America
Since its founding in 1913, the Federal Reserve has devalued the dollar by 98+% thanks to endless money printing and debt creation, a corrosive and impoverishing process that is now accelerating. In the past year, the Fed has engineered $20+ trillion in bailouts, subsidies and guarantees for well-connected and lucky scavengers and opportunists, an amount equal to roughly 40% of the total private wealth created in this country since its inception.
The citizens, whose hard-earned wealth is being systematically destroyed by this continual, government-decreed monetary debasement, were never invited to the debate or given a say, which is par for the course for dictatorships.
Massive de facto devaluation now hangs over the people’s wealth like a great monetary sword of Damocles.The current, grave situation is already a clear call to action. If America’s citizens were told the truth they would rally and solve the problems that afflict them. Who is to say that the people will not be told tomorrow morning that all existing currency and bank balances will be redenominated in “New Dollars,” at a conversion rate of 1 new for every 100 old currency units?
Printed money versus Gold
In virtually every national currency devaluation and major political upheaval in the past, gold has represented sanctuary for the affected people. Gold has not just preserved wealth, but personal freedom as well. While governments can devalue fiat currencies, they cannot, by edict, devalue gold. Yes, they can try to manipulate its price, but unless all governments join in the collusion, ultimately the price will return to market. The market for gold is global, and demand exists in all nations and among all peoples.
The most important point is this: devalued currencies never rise again. Once they are destroyed, they are gone forever, and those whose wealth had once been denominated in them are wiped out. (Today, more than ever, the people need to understand) that gold has been money for 5,000 (or more) years. It has not merely survived, it has prevailed over each and every fiat currency collapse throughout history.
One thing is certain: There is no way any Master Class can defeat the people, if the people finally rise up and say “No More of Your Plunder. No More of Your Cold and Soulless Financial Oppression. No More of Your Cynical and Godless Exploitation!

(LJC) Speaking now about the United States of America.
Many people in the world today do not understand that the Constitutional Way of Life of the people of the United States of America was designed by Great Beings and was meant to establish a Pattern for Freedom of the Individual for all on Earth....nor do people know that that Freedom and Liberty has been constantly under attack. It is little understood that this Plan of Freedom and Liberty in the United States has been the target of what can only be called 'a diabolical, warring and hate filled mentality' that seeks to control people...all people...and to destroy what it cannot control....a 'mind set' that goes by different names...but never ceases in its efforts to work evil within governments, religions and ideologies....within all levels of society of literally every country one can name. It is pure godlessness.... pure evil....at work for millennia.. Where will it end?
There is much physical, mental and emotional distress that out pictures in the physical world....we all see some of it, we feel it......we sense there is much going on that we cannot identify....and much that we sense is 'pure evil' working its way invisibly through and within the energy of the Planet....we see 'evil' at work in various levels of human mindlessness at work in the world today.
It is easy to see the evil bullies of the world always preying upon humanity. We know bullies exist in many forms....in the school yard, in business, socially, in the halls of government and church. History records that there have always been, in the past and existing today, rogue extremist individuals and groups whose only purpose in life appears to be to create chaos wherever they are....yes, 'bullies', better described as thugs, inflict untold damage on innocent people causing most of the world's problems.
It is now become as easy to recognize the elitist groups within a given society...those groups who control the finances and the politics of every country.. those few at the top who use the great middle class within each society to further their own purposes. The average citizen of any modern country has little understanding of the ruthlessness that exists within the financial, religious and political elements of (it is fair to say) all or most all countries..... ruthlessness that doesn't hesitate to destroy what it cannot control....using the wealth and work of innocent hard working people to further their agenda.
In the U .S. many have forgotten or never have understood that it was that kind of bully and elitist persecution that brought people to what became the United States of America....or fully realize yet that the search for Freedom continues to be the Reason people flock to the shores of the United States.
Today many citizens of the United States are asleep to their birthright, lacking Insight into the deeper meaning of Liberty.... lacking the understanding of the importance of the Freedoms written into the Declaration of Independence and into the Constitution and the Bill of Rights....rights bought with the blood of patriots.
In addition there continue to be immigrants who come by the thousands every year to the United Sates, often ignorant of or lacking concern about the history of the Founding of the country.....ignorant of the Framework of Constitutional Rules upon which this country was founded....and this ignorance contributes to the country becoming more and more vulnerable to the ungodly bully, elitist and now terrorist activity that is pushing the entire world closer and closer to the brink of another major war...one of unimaginable consequences.... one that will destroy nations and do irreparable damage to life on this Planet.
What the world faces today is not unique to our time.
I would venture to speculate that humanity evolves along a Spiritual Timeline.... within a Spiritual Plan.....one that periodically offers individuals the opportunity to declare for Freedom ....a 'test' to see if the people will fight to preserve God-Freedom wherever it exists. Certainly a study of history reveals all those times when many failed the test and 'evil' won.
Yes, evil' is at work today in a big way....but this time 'evil' is not supposed to win....will not win if we people, world wide, who understand this will ally ourselves with the Power of Good....with the Power of God to protect Freedom and Liberty wherever we see it struggling to survive....especially today in the United States of America where it is being viciously assaulted. It could have been any Nation, but it has been upon the shoulders of the people of United States that this burden has fallen.....the burden to stand for, to speak for and be willing to fight to preserve Liberty and Freedom on this Planet.
Therefore I ask all who read these words and who Understand what is at stake to join me in calling forth Blessings and God Protection for all constructive Life everywhere on the Planet. I ask you to support the God designed Constitutional Government of the United States in its efforts to protect all people from tyranny.
I ask you to think about what the world would look like if the people of the United States had not stepped forward to help the Europeans in two major wars ....... what the world would look like today if the Nazis and imperialistic Japanese had won the war in the 1940s....
And think about the continual non-god efforts of various countries, constantly at work to dominate and control other countries...I ask you to think about what it has cost and is costing the world in men and money to defeat the spread of 'evil' in our time. I ask you to think about the concern....the caring....of people world wide for others....about the money raised by governments through taxation of individual efforts ...think about the lost lives of young fighting men and women all over the world, lives given to the struggle for Freedom....my Freedom....your Freedom.
I ask you to join me in praying....in asking the Supreme Powers of the Universe....in asking all the Ascended and Angelic Life that has Responsibility for the Destiny of this Planet and that of the Souls who embody here....
I ask you to pray with me for Cosmic Christ Illumination and God Control of all Life everywhere...asking 'God', the Supreme 'I AM Power of the Universe to take command immediately of all godlessness....of all that denigrates and desecrates and seeks to destroy the Divine Plan for Life anywhere on the Earth.
We give praise and thanks....it is done!
(Jim Sinclair 7-09) "Warning signs fall into two categories: those that are recognized while there is still time to heed the warning, and those that are acknowledged as "warning signs" only after the fact, when it’s too late to do anything but sift through the ashes and wonder why we didn’t do something when we had the chance.
In the case of Pompeii, the warning signs included a severe earthquake in 62 A.D., continued tremors over the ensuing years, springs and wells drying up, dogs running away, and birds no longer singing. And then the most obvious warning sign of all: columns of smoke belching out of Mount Vesuvius before the volcano blew its top, burying the city and its inhabitants under 60 feet of ash and volcanic rock' .
Ronald Reagan "We are a nation that has a government -- not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed." --
