All Right
Now, That's Enough!!

As I begin
to compose this week's message, I find myself shaking my head as I
struggle to find a comfortable place to start. I saw video of a white
cop shooting a black man to death for selling CD's and resisting
arrest. Yes I know, he was armed, but if you watch all the videos
taken of the incident (which I admit are hard to look at), Alton
Sterling's gun came out of his pocket during the scuffle, but he did
not attempt to shoot at either of the officers. Alton Sterling was
executed. The video of Philando Castille getting shot to death when
he reached for his wallet – not his gun – is even harder to
watch. Hearing his fiancee' plead with the police officer for her
life, while asking the officer why he had just killed Mr. Castille in
that calm, even voice of hers is truly unforgettable. That is one
strong lady, and she has my heart-felt sympathy and especially my
deepest respect.
Unfortunately,
it didn't stop there. This past Friday 5 cops who were just doing
their jobs were shot to death in the line of duty, and seven more
were wounded. As of this writing I think there are 3 still in the
hospital, and I pray fervently for a speedy recovery for them all.
Now – let me be clear. Was it a miscarriage of justice that Mr.
Sterling and Mr. Castille wound up dead for what amounts to petty
stuff? Yes, absolutely, and I predict that one or more of those
police officers will end up facing charges for their mishandling of
the incidents. But under NO circumstances did that justify setting up
a clever little sniper's nest down in Dallas the following day for
the sole express purpose of picking off police officers in
retaliation!! I am deeply, very deeply upset about the assassination
of these cops and the wounding of seven more. This, my dear readers
and social media followers, is not how Americans are to be settling
their internal problems. I even saw a preposterous video posted on
You-tube just last evening about people wanting to start a “race
war”. Let me point something out to the people who want a “race
war” in America: We've already been there, done that, and bought
the stinkin' T-shirt! It was called the American Civil War of
1861-1865, and there were 620,000 American soldiers and civilians
killed in that conflict. Understand now – the population of the
United states at the end of that war in 1865 was approximately 32
million, slightly less than one tenth of America's population today.
So if a second US civil war were to actually occur with the
population being ten times greater than the first Civil War, then it
is reasonable to conclude that the casualties from such a war would
be ten times as much as the first, or 6.2 million people. Does anyone
reading this seriously believe a 2nd
US civil war in which 6.2 million Americans died would be good for
our country?? If so, then go ahead and fight your damned-to-hell
civil war, but consider this before you proceed. When all the killing
and the carnage is finished, the perpetrators of this 2nd
US civil war will be hunted down, rounded up, and sentenced to hang
from the gallows. If there is none handy, Mr./Mrs./Ms. “race war”
fighter, then we will build one immediately, just outside your jail
cell. Then, maybe at long last, the rest of us can finally have some
peace and quiet!
So
what's the root cause of all these shootings? Is it because we have
too many guns, or is this problem due to lax gun laws, as some people
say? There can be no question that the gun control laws currently in
place could be strengthened, and that background checks could be
strengthened as well. But the right to own hand guns and long guns is
clearly defined in the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, and
the clear purpose of that particular amendment is to give the US
populace a right to defend themselves against intruders for whatever
reason, as well as to defend ourselves against the government, should
things in Washington get out of control. And, when it comes to
Washington being out of control, we're already there. So gun violence
is a symptom, but it's not the problem. What about the police? Why
are all these cops so trigger-happy? Is racism a part of it? This is
unquestionably true, and racism – sad to say – remains deeply
embedded in American culture. I also suspect there is some job
frustration on the part of some police officers, but there is also a
significant amount of racism as well.
So,
we've touched on the cops shooting civilians and on civilians
assassinating cops, plus we've touched on race. All three of these
played a major part in the recent wave of shootings, but they are not
the sole cause. The root cause of all the violence that has wracked
America is – to sum it up – poisoning. Some of this systematic
poisoning is spiritual in nature – such as all the distasteful
shows on TV and at the movies, the super-violent video games, the
subliminal messages contained in popular music as well as TV, and
particularly all the pornography, which America seems to be flooded
with. Other sources of this spiritual poisoning can be found in
certain churches that preach false doctrines, such as the “prosperity
gospel” and the “pre-tribulation rapture”. Although I'm not
going to expound at length on any of these topics for now, I have
done so in the past in some
of my other postings dating back to 2011 or so.
So,
we know that part of this 'poisoning', as I call it, is spiritual,
but it's equally important to know that the rest of this systemic
poisoning is purely physical in nature. America has been fluoridating
its water supply ever since the end of WW2. Consumption of fluoride
was proven as far back as 50 years ago to be toxic to humans.
Moreover, consumption of fluoride, even in small amounts such as
toothpaste, has been proven to lower the IQ of any given human being
by about 10 percentage points over the course of a 70-year human
lifespan. So there we can see our water supply has been poisoned.
Then there's humankind's air supply, which is bring polluted by
“chem-trails” to humankind's detriment. These “chem-trails”
are being sprayed from ordinary jet aircraft, and they contain mainly
aluminum particulates that are designed to block out the sun and slow
global warming. Unfortunately for folks like you and I, these
aluminum particulates are carcinogenic to humans, but the government
keeps paying subcontractors to do this “dirty work” anyway. Last
but not least are vaccines – all of them, which have been linked to
autism, ADD, hyperactivity in children and other behavioral
abnormalities, all of which have lasting effects into adulthood.
With
these facts staring us in the face, is it any wonder that people
everywhere are simply starting to snap? If I load a program on my
computer that has a virus, won't my PC workstation start acting
crazy? The human brain is like a computer, but with a
bio-electric-chemical compound interface. If we allow bad programming
– violent TV and video games, pornography and the like – to get
into our heads, or if we let our kids listen to all that junk on
commercial radio, it won't be long and those individuals are going to
sustain heavy psychological damage. Everybody the world over has
sustained serious physiological damage from environmental pollution,
fluoridated water, lead and mercury poisoning, etc. Add to that the
inescapable fact that people nearly everywhere are in a
life-and-death struggle with their finances – unless, of course,
you're in the top 1% income bracket in America. Being under pressure
from all sides financially, while imploding on the inside from a slow
but systematic poisoning, leads to a personal meltdown! That's why
people everywhere are exploding with rage! And if you're
African-American, you are dealing with all of the above combined with
being under a constant state of siege from the police. That is enough
to drive anybody insane, even the very best of people and regardless
of race!
Ladies
and gentlemen, my dear readers whom I love so very much, the moment
has arrived where we must come together collectively as a people and
say, “no more”! Either we stop the violence or it will eventually
consume us. But, in an effort to stop that from occurring, the
government will undoubtedly step in at some point, “to restore
order”. That, of course, will be the government's brand of order –
the New World Order. Let's not go there, people, let's not allow
ourselves to be enslaved so we can have so-called “security”.
There is no such thing as real security except in the loving arms of
Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Other than that, we take a risk
just by getting out of bed each morning. A tree could fall on us and
crush us while we're in the bathroom, before we even make it out to
the kitchen. We could step outside our door and get hit by a bolt of
lightning, but we go anyway. As it is when we take charge of our
lives and accept the risks involved, so it is when we have to
physically step in and stop the violence, or when we stop others from
doing so. It is up to each and every one of us to take responsibility
and to take charge of our country, especially since those in charge
are in power for all the wrong reasons. No wonder nothing significant
ever gets done in Washington! It's time to collectively tell
everybody inside the 'beltway', “You're fired”! It's time for “we
the people” to retake control of our country. If we can't do this
at the ballot box this fall, more drastic means will have to be
employed. Do we want our country back, or do we want to be slaves?
Time to go to 'red alert'.
