Isaiah 43 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Pathway in the Sea
Ever see a butterfly flutter by? John 3:7-8
Psalm 77:19
Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

Apparently, the way Santa "knows when you are sleeping, and knows when you're awake" is that his elves monitor you via video surveillance and snitch on you to Santa. You know, the same elves that enjoined the poor kid to " trust me" with his Christmas present. No wonder many children are terrified by Santa. He's Big Brother in disguise, and they sense it.
Locomotive Breath
Jethro Tull
In the shuffling madnessOf the locomotive breath,Runs the all-time loser,Headlong to his death.He feels the piston scraping --Steam breaking on his brow --Old Charlie stole the handle andThe train won't stop going --No way to slow
down.He sees his children jumping offAt the stations -- one by one.His woman and his best friend --In bed and having fun.He's crawling down the corridorOn his hands and knees --Old Charlie stole the handle andThe train won't stop going --No way to slow down.He hears the silence howling --Catches angels as they fall.And the all-time winnerHas got him by the balls.He picks up Gideon's Bible --Open at page one --God stole the handle andThe train won't stop going --No way to slow down.
Here we have an Illuminist song lyrics from three decades ago
framing one of the scenes from "The Polar Express" to a "T".
Complete with falling angels and Gideon's Bible.

(excerpted)
Really don't mind if you sit this one out. My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT. I may make you feel but I can't make you think. Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink. So you ride yourselves over the fields and you make all your animal deals and your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick. And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in the tidal destruction the moral melee. The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way. But your new shoes are worn at the heels and your suntan does rapidly peel and your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick. And the love that I feel is so far away: I'm a bad dream that I just had today -- and you shake your head and say it's a shame. Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth. Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth. Spin me down the long ages: let them
sing the song. See there! A son is born -- and we pronounce him fit to fight. There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night. We'll make a man of him put him to trade teach him to play Monopoly and to sing in the rain. The Poet and the painter casting shadows on the water -- as the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea. The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other -- as the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed.
(John 10
9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly.
11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.)
So! Come on ye childhood heroes! Won't you rise up from the pages of your comic-books your super crooks and show us all the way. Well! Make your will and testament. Won't you? Join your local government. We'll have Superman for president let Robin save the day.
(See Elton John's childhood hero from comic books.
His hero is a supercrook called "The Mekon".
A critter that wants to keep human
population levels to "scientific limits"!
Apparently, Elton and his Illuminist compatriots want to decide for the rest of us
just how large the "Circle of Life" is to be, and who, or,
more
disturbingly, who will not, be included.)
Dan Dare (Pilot Of The Future)
(John, Taupin)
Can you tell me how old Dan might have done it
If he'd been here now, holy cow
My stars might have been read on the planet Mars
Because I don't have foresight to see
If we still be together in the twenty first
In the twenty first century
He's our flying ace, pilot of the future
In an endless space, holy cow
My eyes never saw a rocket that was quite that size
Because I don't have the energy
To be cat and mouse for the champions
For the champions of destiny
So long captain Dan
I fail to see what motivates your hands
Goodbye restless night
You know I loved Dan Dare, but I couldn't make his flight
So long, so long
Dan Dare doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
But I liked the Mekon

Genesis 11
1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
It is the slime of secrecy that holds the bricks of the New World Order together.
The cornerstone of the Westies. Don't ask, don't tell. They can run, but they can't hide. Keep your eyes and your mouth "wide shut"!

‘Paddy Whacked’ - Review (excerpted)
Filed under: an príomhbhóthar

Here’s a mob story for ye, boyo
‘Paddy Whacked’ explores rich lore of Irish-American criminals By T.J. English
GENESEE COUNTY
THE FLINT JOURNAL FIRST EDITION
Sunday, May 01, 2005
By Doug Allyn
Regan Books, $27.95, 468 pp.
When Americans think of organized crime, a few terms immediately come to mind: the Mafia, La Cosa Nostra. Maybe the Godfather.
We never think of shamrocks, shillelaghs or St. Patrick. But we should.
In his new book, “Paddy Whacked,” T.J. English, an expert on organized crime, offers a truly encyclopedic account of the rollicking rise of Irish-American gangsters. And boyo, what a whale of a tale it is.
Though Morrissey died young of alcoholism, he’d shown others the way. In America, a scrappy street thug can make it all the way to the top.
Ask Joe Kennedy. Though there long have been rumors that President John F. Kennedy’s father was a bootlegger, English lays out the whole tale, including the senior Kennedy’s involvement with Public Enemy No. 1, Al “Scarface” Al Capone.
Though English cites several conspiracy theories that suggest that La Cosa Nostra had President Kennedy killed, he doesn’t dwell overlong on them. He has more stories to tell.
No tale is wilder than that of the Westies, a murderous Irish gang from that ran New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen during the 1970s and ’80s.
Led by a cunning thug named Jimmy Coonan, the Westies controlled their turf with sheer savagery. Their enemies weren’t just killed, they were literally dismembered. Westie wannabes weren’t accepted until they’d whacked somebody up after whacking them out. “No body, no investigation,” was the gang’s motto. And it worked.

The message of "The Polar Express" is "believe". Believe in what? Santa? Or Big Brother? Trust the elves that spy on you via video surveillance? Why? Because government is incapable of evil? Better you should believe in Santa Claus. The message cannot be "believe in the Christ of Christmas". Tom Hanks' current project, "The da Vinci Code" reveals what he would have us to,or not to, believe concerning Jesus Christ. So he sodomizes Christmas with "The Polar Express". One of the animated elves looked and sounded like Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Their first "hit" was:
"Dream On"
Recorded by "Aerosmith"

Every time that I look in the mirror
all these lines on my face getting clearer
the past is gone
it went by like dusk to dawn
isn't that the way
everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
you got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books' written pages
live and learn from fools and from sages
you know it's true
all the things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
sing with me, if it's just for today
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
dream yourself a dream come true
dream on, dream on, dream on,
and dream until your dream comes true
dream on [7x]
Trust him to tell me what to "believe" about Christmas? Dream on. Believe this:
John 7
1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Tom Hanks... Meg Ryan. "Sleepless in Seattle". She dumps her betrothed for "true love" with a widower. Anyone who commits to marriage, and then bails out for someone more appealing is incapable of true love. She has demonstrated that she lacks the character for true love, and would just as easily bail out on Mr. "Sleepless" the day someone more appealing than him drifted along. True love and self gratification are mutually exclusive. "Irreconcilable differences" is the plea of the whore that goes to the altar and then to the courthouse to collect her fees for services rendered.
"You've Got Mail." Meg Ryan... Nicholas Cage. "City of Angels". An angel falls from Heaven because he "loves" an all-too-mortal woman. It's touching. (The back of my throat.) Fallen angels are incapable of love. Love would constrain them to serve and worship God and thus mankind. Fallen angels are the enemies of God AND mankind, and serve no purpose other than to steal, kill and destroy in the service of the master of all the fallen that were created in the image of God: Lucifer. And what is his agenda? To exalt himself against the Eternal God at all costs. But what is his purpose? ( I LOVE THIS!!!!)
Romans 9
17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Question: How many children of the living God can dance on the head of a fallen angel?
Answer: No man can number them!
Revelation 7
1And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
P.S. The Queen of England may make knights of Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Bob Geldof, but she has disposed of the title "Defender of the Christian Faith" in so doing. She may be addressed as "Traitor of Christ to the New World Order" from henceforth, and may expect certain Divine vengeance at the nail-pierced hands of the King of Kings when she appears in His presence.
Think I jest?
Genesis 19
1And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
2And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
13For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
14And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
15And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD:
19Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
28And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
Think again.
Luke 17
20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Dr. Rick Warren is passionate about attacking what he calls the five "Global Goliaths" – spiritual emptiness, egocentric leadership, extreme poverty, pandemic disease, and illiteracy."
Matthew 7
2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
I heard "Pastor" Warren on a televised Hillsong Ministries conference. After going on about the success of his book and "ministry", and "sharing" how he counted up his salary and paid it back to his church, and how a pastor in Africa depended on his ministry for guidance, and how otherwise "blessed" of God he is...
Matthew 6
1Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
... he related how he sought guidance about what to do with his "influence". He said he got his revelation from Solomon's prayer in Psalm 72. Then he said that Solomon's prayer sounded "selfish" until you understand the reason Solomon requested his "influence": to execute judgment for the poor and needy.
This is what "Pastor" Warren claims is a key passage of scripture by which he is guided in the appropriation and exercise of his influence. There's one very large problem with Mr. Warren's exegesis. Psalm 72 is not a prayer of Solomon!
Psalm 72
20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Psalm 72 is a prophetic and parental prayer of DAVID for his successor: Solomon in the flesh, and Christ in the Spirit. Mr. Warren, you are fired as a minister of the Gospel. Motivational speaker for the New World Order, maybe. But preacher of the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ? No way. Like you always say, it's not about you, globalist wolf.
Matthew 24
23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25Behold, I have told you before.
2 Timothy 2
15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
1 John 4
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Do You Really Want To Hurt Me(?)
Culture Club
Give me time
To realise my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Precious kisses
Words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why
In my heart
The fires burning
Choose my colour
Find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step
A step too far
Isaiah 14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, (O Star of the dawn) son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
In a "sketchier" video for the song, released some months later, you see a judge seated at the bench in traditional English powdered wig and gown. Then you see Mr. (?) George emerging wet and bedraggled from a swimming pool. My brother was duly astonished. The message becomes unmistakable to the Christian world-view:
Revelation 20
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
And no, Mr./Ms. George, God does not really want to hurt you:
Isaiah 53
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
God is not the problem, you are:
Revelation 9
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Luke 13
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
The "gay agenda" is but one prong of the Anti-Christian Holocaust being prepared by the New World Order. It has nothing to do with guaranteeing gay rights and everything to do with depriving Christians of their civil and Constitutional rights, up to and including the first one: life.
Psalm 37
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

Thanks to compulsory public education and the fascist hegemony of "secularism" over the academic, cultural and legal institutions of the now defunct United States of America, I don't need to familiarize my audience with the basics of Charles Darwin's theory of "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection". I will, therefore, proceed directly to the examination of the mechanism whereby his theory postulates organic life originated and diversified into the profusion of species that have lived and now exist in this cosmos that you and I indisputably find ourselves. Put simply, ( the very best way to go if you want to be readily understood, which, apparently, the majority of academia do not. They prefer to be admired from below with uncomprehending awe. How unlike God.) Darwin's theory attributes the infinitely superhuman biochemically, structurally, mechanically and aesthetically elegant innovations in the forms, functions, interactions and physiologically apparent interdependencies of the various species and their respective natural environments to a mindless and purposeless process of cosmic trial and error. (The "secular humanist" establishment [a deceptive front for the Luciferian fundamentalist New World Order] doesn't want you to think about that proposition for too long or too deeply. If you begin to comprehend its implications, you may succumb to an unadvisably violent rage. Best to leave vengeance in more capable hands. Actually, the violence in this world is a direct outworking of a fundamental hostility in human nature towards a false or distorted perception of the nature and character of the First Cause: God. Alas, I digress.)
Let's consider this objectively. (When I say objectively, I mean that I am scrutinizing the process on its own scientific merits.) Theoretically, life began when inorganic amino acids somehow became organized into interacting and self-replicating organisms which we will call the evolutionary proto-species. (By itself, this is a leap into a realm of wild fantasy so devoid of intellectual integrity and credibility that we can confidently dismiss this so-called theory right here, as it flies in the face of all the observable phenomena and physical characteristics of this present cosmos, but let's accompany this "descent of man" into obscure darkness and ignorant superstition a little further, since we're examining the "means of natural selection" as the agent of producing the various species, which merely finds its beginning here.) This proto-species, as it survived through subsequent generations, began "evolving" into diverse species through minor changes (called "mutations") in the organic information contained in its DNA, the self-replicating chemical that passes the composition and forms of "parents" to successive generations. (Again, attributing the appearance of such an information-preserving and reproducing mechanism as recombinant DNA in species to cosmic "happenstance" is an abandonment of intellectual credibility and integrity of monumental proportions in and of itself.) Are we to believe that physiological structures, such as our eyes, our ears, our brains, our mouths, and most improbably of all, our consciousness of ourselves and the cosmos we inhabit, are the result of this incalculably unlikely process? That this preposterous ( which adjective tumbles out musically when Ann Coulter employs it in her hint of a lisp) assertion is the result of scientific inquiry?
Answer this: how can random, unsupervised mutation consistently improve the form and function of living organisms and their various processes and structures to the barely comprehensible sophistication that we find ourselves surrounded with? This is such a ridiculously counter-intuitive notion that anyone who, after honestly and frankly considering it, still holds that it is rational, "scientific" or reasonable, is quite plainly a vicious, Creator-hating LIAR. (Christopher Hitchens, in defense of his evolution-based anti-theism, said of evolution, "We don't know how it happened,but we do know that it happened." That cannot possibly be true, and therefore it MUST BE A LIE! Mr. Hitchens is stating an insubstantiable assumption about our origins as a known fact in order to firm up the deception of his professed atheism.) Where's the life-generating "soup" with its pre-life compounds poised to combine into our "Great- to- the- hundredth- exponent- Grandperson" ? Remember, the process supposedly started with a featureless, simple, self-replicating biochemical anomaly I have called the proto-species. Where are the evolutionary equivalents of Edison's plethora of failed lightbulb experiments? What we see are only fully functional, diverse species. What we should see is a haphazard conglomeration of misshapen and malformed "freaks of nature" that would actually not be "freaks" at all, but would be normative and indistinguishable, as "abnormal" would be an abstract concept found only in the "science fiction" of the nightmarish Dali-esque alternative universe that anti-theists and Darwinists insist this one is.
This brings me to an episode of the PBS program "Nova", which "documented" the Dover, Pennsylvania flap over the school board introducing "intelligent design" materials into the science curricula.
On December 20, 2005, Judge John E. Jones III ruled in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania that a public school district in Pennsylvania cannot teach Intelligent Design in a science class room, due to its religious origins. The separation of church and state, as required by the first amendment in the United States Constitution, prohibits any government agency from endorsing religious points of view.
If that is the truth, (which it is not, the first amendment prohibits congress from making law that interferes with religion in ANY way, as well as from making any law abridging freedom of speech. Judge Jones' ruling is yet another anti-theistic lie) then public schools have no business whatsoever teaching evolution as a competent account of the origins of life in this cosmos. It is a hopelessly insupportable departure from all standards of scientific inquiry. Proponents of evolution attribute the cause of infinitely superhuman phenomena and processes to the infinitely subhuman and hopelessly unqualified agency of random chance. Not only is this belligerently irrational, it is also anti-human and criminal. It is a fairy tale that begins and ends with the epitaph:..."and they lived miserably and meaninglessly ever since and ever after." Just what the Devil ordered.You cannot base the rule of law and civil government on it. Where there are no universal wrongs, there are no inalienable rights.I don't propose equal time for "intelligent design". I propose the categorical rejection of "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" as the vicious anti-Creator and - human lie that it most demonstrably is, and that proponents of its dissemination be legally defined as the anti-Creator and -human criminals that they most demonstrably are. Of course, THAT would require toppling the entire superstructure of the "New Deal" national-emergency pretexted federal hyper-state as it now exists, along with its accomplices in big business and big media, and THAT would require drastic Divine intervention of Tower of Babel proportions. But be of good cheer! It's infinitely more likely than "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection"!

To:bill oreilly
I would like to make some points about the Constitution and its place in the government of the United States of America.
With regard to sodomy laws in the various states: Homosexuality is a deviance from biological norms of sexual behavior. When individuals engage in homosexual behavior, it is by the exercise of their volition except in cases of incapacitation or rape. If the legislatures in the various states view such behavior as detrimental to good order or to the health and welfare of the public, then they should by no means be discouraged from prohibiting it.
Furthermore, since homosexuality is a volitional choice and is a deviation from biological norms of sexual behavior, individuals who choose to make this behavior the central focus of their identity and social orientation do so voluntarily and it is unreasonable for them to expect that society at large accept their choices as normal, appropriate, natural or even benign. It must be recognized that such choices entail no special rights, and citizens who regard such behavior as immoral or harmful have the Constitutional right to express their views and to choose not to associate with such individuals. Citizens must also be afforded the right to exercise this discretion in making decisions with regard to prospective employment. Individuals who choose to publicly espouse homosexuality must not be afforded special legal status because that would violate the equal protection clause of the Constitution. The weight of the law must come down on the side of freedom of association, which is general and non-discriminatory, and not on the side of one group's social or political agenda, which IS discriminatory. In other words, the court must uphold the rights of individual citizens in general over the rights of any group in particular. The Bill of Rights is for individuals, not groups. "Affirmative action" is for groups and is discriminatory by definition. It "affirms" the rights of groups over the rights of individuals to choose who they will associate with. Members of the various groups may also freely exercise this right. ( Start their own company, youth organization, religious organization, country club, educational institution, etc.) It must be ruled unconstitutional to mandate "tolerance" under color of law because such practice is antithetical to individual liberty. The potential for excess is self-evident. The nation is already staggering under the tyranny of "groups." It's in the air. People are afraid to openly express views that are contrary to the interests of certain groups that enjoy the patronage of the so-called intellectual elite in the mainstream establishment. "Political correctness" threatens to suffocate any vestige of true diversity in the country. American citizens should never be afraid to express any view, so long as it is lawful and respects the CONSTITUTIONAL rights of other INDIVIDUALS. (Not the fabricated "rights" of other groups. These have the effect of suppressing the rights of individuals.)
With regard to atheism: Individuals have a constitutional right to abstain from any observance of religion. Any grievance lodged, however, against expressions of belief in a Creator or Supreme God in the public sector must be ruled unconstitutional because the expression of the so-called rights of atheists (a group) has the effect of suppressing the rights of individuals who believe in a Supreme Being and the free exercise of their religion. Moreover, in the Declaration of Independence, humanity "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" and atheism, by definition, is hostile to this concept and is a clear and present danger to the very basis of the Bill of Rights, which was derived from George Mason's "Virginia Declaration of Rights." The American leadership invoked God's assent at the very launch of the new government. A court or government that has the scrutiny of the Almighty in view is far more likely to uphold justice and truth and defend the rights even of atheists than one that does not.
(Hence, the use of the Bible when swearing in witnesses and public officials.)
With regard to income tax and social entitlements: Article V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Amendment XVI notwithstanding, the use of public funds for purposes other than the common defense, the general welfare (i.e. infrastructure, projects for the use of the general public, the enhancement of government services to the general public, etc.) must be deemed unconstitutional. Once again, the interests of certain groups such as the poor and the elderly are used as a pretext for the taking of the private property of American citizens (i.e. their income) for public use without just compensation. Individuals who espouse such "generosity" should be regarded as enemies of the Constitution and the people.The American people must be freed immediately from the tyranny of such "compassion." It is unconstitutional for the government to be frivolous with the resources of the American people. It is not, however, unconstitutional for the government to encourage voluntary private assistance to the economically challenged. Care of the needy must be voluntary. Compulsory charity at the point of the government's gun is worse than armed robbery. It is extra-constitutional, unjust and hypocritical. Individuals who are concerned for the needs of the poor must appeal for voluntary contributions to the cause or contribute their own time and resources. The current tax structure actually presents an economic barrier and a disincentive to the disadvantaged. As such, it is doubly detrimental to the general welfare. And unconstitutional!

Dear Mr. Prager,
(et. al.)
It has come to my attention that waste consisting of petro-chemical plastics accumulates in areas of the oceans known as "gyres". Two of these areas are located in the Pacific Ocean, and are nicknamed "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch". These areas would be ideal locations for solar-powered hydrogen/oxygen-producing electrolysis facilities.
("The garbage patch formed and continues to exist because of ocean currents. The patch is not actually static in position, sometimes drifting into landmasses which have begun to resemble landfills. It moves with the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, a high pressure zone of air which forces ocean surface currents to move in a slowly clockwise pattern, creating a whirlpool which sucks garbage from other parts of the ocean into the gyre. The high pressure zone is extremely stable, as it is caused by hot air from the equator cooling as it moves northwards. There are several such gyres around the world, and they are traditionally avoided by sailors and fishermen because they are devoid of wind and marine organisms." http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-great-pacific-garbage-patch.htm)
One of the functions that could be integrated into these facilities would be an on-site plasma-converter-oriented waste-disposal operation deploying a fleet of trawlers to collect and plasma-degrade the petro-chemical plastic polymers (which are impervious to bio-degradation) to biologically absorbable and exploitable chemical compounds. One of the by-products of this operation could be a fuel called "syngas", which is alluded to in the article about plasma-converters. Other operations that could be integrated into these fuel-producing facilities could be on-site communities to house the families of employees of the facilities; resort-type operations like hotels, restaurants (serving fresh fish taken in the trash-trawling operation), and marinas; hospitals with trauma centers integrated with air/sea search and rescue capabilities for faster response to mid-ocean transportation disasters like air-crashes and ship-wrecks.They could also support heavy air and sea port facilities, reducing the fuel- capacity requirements of both types of craft, which capacity could then be devoted to additional cargo and passenger space, increasing efficiency and reducing the aggregate number of trans-oceanic trips needed to meet commercial demand. In other words, it could be very economically and environmentally advantageous to extend civilization into the mid-ocean environment in this way. All of this would be developed in phases, of course, with an eventual reduction in plastic waste collection as recycling and plasma-conversion replaces dumping as a means of plastic disposal at the land-based population centers.
It is lamentable that the knee-jerk reaction of secular humanists is to find ways to say "no" to human population growth and development. In the case of plastic waste, they seek a ban on plastics, which afford many utilitarian advantages over other materials. (Plastics make it possible.)
God is always looking for Ways to say "yes" to human kind. In the case of plastic waste, let's convert it to fuel!
Garbage Island
Psalms 51–53 & Romans 2
The other day I ran across a troubling report about people who think it is acceptable to use the ocean as a giant garbage dump. Here is an excerpt: “If you should see this amazing floating pile of plastic in the Pacific Ocean, it’s called ‘The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.’ It features three million tons of plastic debris floating in an area larger than Texas. An eye-popping 46,000 pieces of plastic float on every square mile of ocean!” Other sources estimate the amount of garbage is even bigger. Plastic is especially bad because it does not dissolve.
During our sojourn on earth, we have been charged, like Adam, with taking care of the earth and its creatures that God has given us.Genesis 2:15 says, “The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” God delights in what He has made and this extends to the sea and all that live in it (1:10,20-21).
This world should remind us of the greatness of our Creator and serve as a springboard of praise to Him. Indifferently using it as a garbage dump mars its beauty and threatens the creatures that live here. Showing respect and caring for the land, the ocean, and the air is our duty as believers in Christ.

Dear Mr. Prager, et.al
(Dennis Prager asked the question on the air of how some individual could transcend partisan politics on the issue of abortion, among others. I did not catch to whom he was referring, but here are my thoughts on the subject.)
It is the professed position of the "pro-life" movement (which, in my estimation, has degenerated into a political action and litigation racket that is devoid of any motive other than perpetual trench warfare and money-making) that the unborn have a constitutional "right to life". I share that view.
It is the professed position of the "pro-choice" movement that a woman has the constitutional right to commit doctor-assisted homicide in the womb at will, and it is "unconstitutional" for the state to intervene or interfere with her "right to privacy". (Although air travellers apparently do not enjoy this same constitutional protection. Interesting how our modern judicial system applies and interprets the U.S. Constitution, isn't it?) One of their (pro-choice) slogans is an enjoinder to "Keep abortion safe and legal! "
I propose the following resolution to function as binding arbitration between the two camps and the parties heretofore of standing in all cases of application for legal abortions, to wit: the father, the mother, and most emphatically, the child.
In short, when a woman applies for permission to surgically terminate a pregnancy through a physician supervised abortion procedure, the following criteria must be met and legally certified upon penalty of death:
She must be irreversibly sterilized and surgically prevented from conceiving any children subsequent to the legal termination, via abortion, of the child that is the subject of the application.
She must identify the father, and his paternity certified via amnio-syntesis and DNA testing, and the father must be irreversibly sterilized and surgically prevented from conceiving any children subsequent to the legal termination, via abortion, of the child that is the subject of the application.
If the father wishes to fulfill the offices, duties and responsibilities of a parent for the child, then the application for a legal abortion shall be denied, the pregnancy carried to term, and exclusive legal and physical custody
of the child granted to the father, and the mother shall be irreversibly sterilized and surgically prevented from conceiving any children subsequent to the application for a legal abortion.
In no case shall an application for a legal abortion be granted to a minor child. Pertinent criminal law shall apply to the parents or legal guardians of said minor child and the father of any child that would be the subject of such application.
All abortions performed subsequent to the enactment of this arbitration that are not granted under the terms of this arbitration shall be deemed a capital offense punishable by death, and all persons complicit in the act and failing to report it to the appropriate authorities shall be held equally liable upon conviction of said complicity in a court of law.
It is the opinion of this court that persons that choose to engage in recreational sexual activity may do so freely and without constraint with other consenting adults, except where otherwise prohibited by law. In light of advancements in the variety and availability of contraception and public awareness concerning sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy, (which awareness this court hereby orders and affirms as part of the public's civic and ethical duty,) competent adults that conceive an unwanted child are grossly negligent and irresponsible, and, if they choose to remain so, may not subject any future offspring to the excesses of their negligence and irresponsibility.
In other words, they can spawn like frogs in a pond, but the wanton shedding of innocent blood in the name of "choice" and in the interest of big business, shall cease in the United States of America.
In summary, abortion shall be safe and legal so long as it is LAWFUL. As it is practiced in America today, it is simply AWFUL.
Opposition to this arbitration on the part of the pro-life camp shall be deemed support for perpetuation of a pointless, trench warfare stalemate.
Opposition to this arbitration on the part of the pro-choice camp shall be deemed support for keeping abortion "sacrosanct and plentiful".
I call Heaven to witness this ruling and invoke the blood of Jesus Christ to release the Authority of Heaven to intervene in these matters. Blessed be His Holy Name.
Court is adjourned.
Global warming, antediluvian fuels and clean energy: the essence of the effervescence.
Wednesday, February 6, 2008 8:18:35 PM
Dear Mr. Prager,
I heard you divulge on the radio that you were once fond of saying, "The quintessence of effervescence is its essence". That saying kind've inspired me as I've pondered the concept of converting solar radiation at the surface of the open tropical oceans into hydrogen and oxygen by means of electrolysis to be used as clean fuel to power the needs of twenty-first century civilization. There are two very serious obstacles that prevent the ready use of hydrogen and oxygen as an ordinary fuel supply. First, both are highly explosive and therefore extremely potentially hazardous. Second, they generate extremely high temperatures during combustion (referred to as "exothermic') and therefore require extreme tolerances of any material exposed to them as part of a powerplant.
To follow through with my cogitations, here's the essence of the effervescence: what if the hydrogen and oxygen gases were proportionally dissolved in pure water like carbon dioxide is in soda pop? (We'll call it "hydra-pop". Or, maybe...."effort-lessence"? Na-a-a-a-ah!) This hydroxygenated water could be stored and transferred with specially designed, fail-safe tanks and leak-proof transfer couplings with redundant interlocks, etc. and employed as a fuel supply.
(Update:6-27-09. I've decided that "Solar-pop" captures the essence of the fuel concept and has a more phonetically "catchy" appeal.)
Here's the concept behind "Solar-pop": the carefully proportioned hydrogen/oxygen/water mixture could be injected as an aerosol into the combustion chamber of say, a turbine. As the hydrogen and oxygen are burned, the explosive and exothermic properties of the fuel could be offset by the ordinary water, which would impede the rate of combustion and absorb excess heat as it evaporates. The product of combustion would be pure steam, assuming all of the hydrogen and oxygen is consumed. The steam would be directed through the vanes of the turbine, generating mechanical power. The driveshaft could be connected to a fan at the front of the turbine (to drive air past the combustion chamber for the purpose of further cooling, instead of supplying air for combustion, as in conventional jet engines) and attached to reduction gears to drive electrical generators, automotive transmissions, or even aircraft propellers and helicopter rotors.
The idea is to devise means to safely and practically exploit the totally green, clean, renewable and anti-greenhouse supply of fuel that could be extracted straight from the surface of the ocean through solar-generated electrolysis.
I'm highly suspicious of "global-warming" hysteria, as it sounds alot like "global terror" hysteria, which has been monotonously drummed into the cultural consciousness as a reason to aquiesce to hyper-State encroachment on personal and civil liberties. The "Imus Incident" and others also fall under this category of a suspiciously universal "new conventionality" that seems to arise simultaneously from nowhere and everywhere. Most people have been intellectually tranquilized and successfully conditioned not to question these phenomena because the messages come as "entertainment" and "information" rather than as articulations of official government authority. Pretty sneaky. Don't you think?

I love to hate the National Geographic Channel. On a program called "Global Warning" or some such nonsense, there was much hand-wringing and consternation over the thawing of a subterranean layer of ice in the arctic tundra (great truck, by the way) known as "permafrost". It seems that under this permanently frozen layer of ice, there are the remnants of some former biomass consisting of grasses, roots and other defunct humus, that are now resuming decomposition due to rising global temperatures. This decomposition is known to produce methane, which is a dreaded "greenhouse gas", and will contribute to accelerated global warming, which will contribute to more thawing of permafrost and its attendant production of methane, etc. etc. Its a half-empty glass that is getting half-emptier by the minute! I look at that same scenario and I see two very significant implications.
First, what is all that biomass doing under this permanently frozen layer of ice? ( Paleontologists have found the fossil remains of tropical and subtropical species of plants and reptiles above the arctic circle! Hmmmm! Stupid species. They don't know that "science" cannot account for their presence there or the radical changes in the environment between their time and ours that it implies. They don't have the good sense to obey Darwin 's rules, preferring rather to live and die where God put them! The sheer effrontery! )
And second, if the environment in the tundra is warming so that biological processes that normally are prevented from taking place in the region due to colder temperatures are now possible, then doesn't that mean a net gain in arable or otherwise habitable land? ( I know. I'm a member of a plague species, and it is immoral of me to think in such "species-ist" terms. Sorry. I'm so depraved and wicked that I'm not even ashamed of it.)
Immediately after the "Global Warning" program, there was a suspense-filled thriller about the coming oil crunch, and how it will eclipse "global warming" as the premier hysteria of the world when it reaches socio-economic "critical mass". I've been thinking about that, and I've come up with a concept. ( When 9-11-01 exposed the vulnerability that U.S. dependence on oil imports creates in American foreign policy, I conceived of insulated, photo-electric roofing systems that could be installed in the Sunbelt and hooked to the electrical grid to simultaneously reduce structural cooling demands and increase the supply of electricity. I e-mailed both President Bush and Vice President Cheney , among others, about the idea. If anything is happening with it, it is definitely under my radar. This concept is a refinement of that idea. I think that Kim Clement will appreciate this)
(Update 5-24-09:
Reducing oil prices
e-mailed 6-25-04
bill oreilly
It has occured to me that the U. S. energy supply could be bolstered substantially by developing a roofing material that has photo-electric properties similar to the arrays used to make power from sunlight for electronic satellites. In the warmer months it could reduce heat entering structures through the roof while simultaneously generating electric power that could be routed into the grid through transformers, thus simultaneously reducing cooling demand and boosting the power supply. If such materials were put into widespread use, the synergystic effect on the electrical supply and demand would be phenomenal, not to mention the additional "green" benefit of reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and the attendant emissions generated for the production of electrical power. And anyone with a rudimentary grasp of economics knows that if you reduce the demand for oil, you reduce its price.Ta-da! End of 5-24-09 update.)
Here's the quintessence of the effervessence: capturing solar radiation at the surface of the open tropical ocean, converting it to electricity, using the electricity to convert sea water to hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis, liquefying the hydrogen and oxygen and shipping it in tankers as fuel to supply the energy needed to generate electricity, power industrial processes, and fuel motor vehicles of all descriptions. This will take research and development in fuel-containing, -carrying, and -transferring technology, of course, as well as engine design, but I think the turbine may come into its own as the hydroxy-burning powerplant of choice.
Get this: when hydrogen oxidizes, as in fuel consumption, it becomes water! Water vapor is the opposite of greenhouse gases in that the more of it there is in the atmosphere, the more clouds form. Clouds reflect solar radiation back into space, counteracting global warming! But wait! There's more! The electricity-generating apparatus arrayed across the surface of the open tropical ocean will create shaded areas, reducing ocean temperatures, which will mitigate weather extremes, especially hurricanes and typhoons, which are generated and sustained over warm water!
According to "Blue Planet: Seas of Life", there are vast reaches of open ocean in the tropics that are virtually devoid of living organisms. This is very conducive to overcoming objections over the environmental impact that this concept will have. I think that the main hurdles to implementation of this concept are conflicts with ocean-going surface traffic, development and durability of the infra-structure in the ocean environment and possible international disputes over this use of the surface area of international waters. If this concept is viable, however, then upside considerations will probably overwhelm objections handily.
Here's the sublime poetry of this concept: we will essentially be capturing otherwise excessive solar radiation, converting it to fuel to be employed when and where needed, and when we are done, the spent fuel will return harmlessly to the hydrological cycle and ultimately back to the ocean. Additionally, if sufficient energy can be captured and exploited in this way, we can let the antediluvian fossil fuels rest in peace, making the generation of climate-warming greenhouse gases a thing of the past, not to mention violent conflicts over fossil fuel supplies. I call that a glass filled to overflowing! And being already in international territory, use of the oceans in this way may actually foster international cooperation, as opposed to competition, lending itself to the idea that the Earth and its resources have been abundantly provided by God for the benefit of humankind and the glory of God.
Jesus, there is no one in Heaven or on Earth that even begins to compare with You. You are the Sun of Righteousness, and Your enemies will have all eternity to regret even thinking of opposing You.

I went to an obviously Jewish home on a service call today. There was a mezuzah on the doorpost and a painting near the entry depicting men gathered around a Torah. On a table next to the main entry was a DVD case displaying the cover for the movie, "The God Who Wasn't There". These pathetic people have got it all wrong. Jesus Christ is the God Who was there and they didn't know it. This is not some new notion concocted by deluded Christian wishful thinkers. This is the resounding theme of the Torah and the Hebrew prophets. Can I get a witness?

10And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
16And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
50Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Joseph?
Genesis 45
1Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
2And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
6For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
7And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
9Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
10And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
11And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
12And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
13And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
14And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is your's.
21And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
23And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
24So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
25And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
26And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
27And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Revelation 1
1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
7Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
"Bowling for Columbine did it to the gun culture. Super Size Me did it to fast food. Now The God Who Wasn't There does it to religion. Holding modern Christianity up to a bright spotlight, this bold and often hilarious new film asks the questions few dare to ask."
Mighty boastful crowing, don't you think?
Here's my retort to "Bowling for Columbine" and what it "did" to the "gun culture".
In the words of "Trinity":"Dodge this!"
1 Samuel 13
15And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
16And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
18And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
20But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
21Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
22So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
23And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
Amendments to the U.S. Constitution
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
All American Citizens who are able and willing are hereby encouraged and advised to arm themselves and to become proficient in the use of those arms. There is only one underlying purpose for "gun control" and that is to maintain a condition of subjugation and servitude, and the framers of the U. S. Constitution explicitly made provisions for preventing that.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Those who advocate "gun control" are your enemies. Don't be stupid. Arm yourselves. Boldly. Bravely. Confidently. Openly. You are American Citizens. Act like it. Insist on the Second Amendment clause that your right to "keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" and demand that gun control legislation be repealed forthwith and with prejudice on behalf of your Constitutional Rights. Let the joke be on Michael Moore and his contempt for you, rather than on you and your naivete in letting your enemies talk you out of your liberty.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of examples of the "Gun Control Culture" which Michael Moore represents :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Ridge This fatal confrontation was precipitated by a "weapons violation".
"The stand-off was ultimately resolved when Weaver and Harris surrendered and were arrested. Weaver was ultimately acquitted of all charges except missing his original court date (related to a charge of illegally shortening a shotgun for a Government agent without having first paid a $200 license fee) and violation of his bail conditions, for which he was sentenced to 18 months and fined $10,000."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_Siege Regardless of your take on the "Branch Davidians" and David Koresh, the BATF's unambiguous interest was exclusively in firearms deemed "illegal" by the U.S. Federal Government, and the search warrant that the BATF was operating under was for such weapons.
"Alleging that the Davidians had violated federal law, the ATF obtained search and arrest warrants for Koresh and specific followers on weapons charges due to the many firearms they had accumulated, and they planned their raid for March 1, 1993, with the code name "Showtime". However, the raid was moved up a day in response to the Waco Tribune-Herald "Sinful Messiah" article (which the ATF had tried to prevent from being published.)
The initial assault.
The ATF mounted the raid on a Sunday morning, February 28, 1993. Any advantage of surprise was lost as a reporter, who had been tipped off on the raid, asked for directions from a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier who was Koresh's brother-in-law."
(The involvement of the ATF with the News Media belies the "example" they were making of the Branch Davidians as a means of terrorizing the American Public, as opposed to a law enforcement organization performing their duties professionally and without an inappropriate interest in "fanfare" and excessive personal aggrandizement. A real assortment of American Heroes, don't ya think? Neither do I.)
