“Oh to Know and Understand” cji 3/31/13

 
“Oh to Know and Understand”  cji 3/31/13
 
How often one must ponder the Scriptures in understanding the full importance of the Atonement of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The wonder and impact in each of our lives and what it means in the eternities. The magnitude is overwhelming – as he saved from Spiritual death every living soul ever to come into mortality – all not lacking even one no matter when or where they were born or lived. How many one might guess have received this sacred blessing who have never heard or will hear of Him in their lifetimes? Countless billions comes to mind – while only a very small percentage have been given the chance to come to know him and through him the Father who’s will he did in every action of his ministry.
 
Too many stop simply at being ‘saved’ which all are with the exception of those who deny the Holy Ghost or commit murder (or the shedding of innocent blood). The Scriptures teach us much more than just being ‘saved’ but how we can each earn eternal life. Too often the worldly cares and meaningless tribulations overcome or otherwise distract us in our study and learning curve of eternal life. Many times the teachings of others who are trying to make sense of the Scriptures confound and confuse those who allow them to think for them – rather than doing one’s own homework. Many forget that in the 3rd and 4th Century – St. Augustine and Origen both admitted that didn’t know what much of the Scriptures meant so they applied the learning to men/women to make sense for themselves and ultimately for millions upon millions of others.
 
Soon the universities and divinity schools were teaching the doctrines which were convenient to these two fathers of the Eastern and Western Christian Churches instead of the Scriptures. They would mix in the rhetoric and Greek philosophy in with the Scriptures. So much history and changes have thus taken place that the simplicity of what the Savior and the Prophets have taught are no longer either simply or clear, concise and common sense.
 
Let it suffice our Lord and Savior came and did all he was commanded by his Father – he did it voluntarily for our benefit – up to and sacrificing his life to remove spiritual death from the world. He did it for every person born into mortality – all – in toto’ none excepted. Thus we can almost never be found thankful and obedient enough (in our eyes) except in full obedience to the Commandments, Statutes and Laws as established by our Heavenly Father and our Savior, his only begotten Son!
 
Thus when we consider the Easter Season – let us remember the real and true purpose of what took place and why. May we be found in full understanding by having applied ourselves to reading, pondering, praying and seeking to understand as James 1:5 tells us, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” And verse 6, “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”
 
This is my prayer for each of us that we might do so – and know for ourselves what the Scriptures teach and want us each to know! I testify that Jesus is the Christ – the Son of our Heavenly Father – who came to remove spiritual death from the world so that someday we might all return onto Him if we are willing to earn this in our eternal salvation. In his name – even Jesus the Christ – amen – c/ork

It is all just there if we will read
our eyes opened into the eternal
plain and precious truths revealed
precept upon precept if we but seek;
 
Oh for each of us to be humbly meek
having our testimonies forever sealed
understanding we too can be eternal
oh to know and understand and heed!

“Liberal Flags Waving” cji 3/28/13


“Liberal Flags Waving”  cji 3/28/13
 
Speculation on my part but most likely very close to the truth! Gay rights is but a liberal flag waving and the media loves it for their own.  It would be my guess that there are very few on either side of the fence; much like the false headlines we’ve seen over the past 70 years.  The media need and use whatever is available to forward their own agenda which is Socialism (not realizing they’re the first to go). Same as those finding out in certain very liberal states that they ‘the entitled’ are the first to lose their rights to martial law selectively applied.

Further our nation needs distractions – for if the truth of the matter be known – our nation is going bankrupt on a bobsled in a downhill race. Time is running out for the ultimate attempt at the destruction of the Constitution and the Freedom ensured under it. The rest of the world is planning on dumping the US Dollar as the world’s currency and in fact many main-line nations already have in actual business transactions if not in documentation.

And in reality most Americans don’t care – don’t know – and don’t want to know what is going on – as long as they can think they are immune to what is going on. Think of a large bird burying its head in the sand. This is a very good description of our Congress, Supreme Court and others who are sworn to protect the Constitution – they don’t care! Maybe that is harsh but did any of them intervene to talk about the fraud in the last election? None – not one with other than a splash of water so they could say something to those who elect them. Yet the fraud was so open and blatant that the blind, deaf and dumb could easily recognize it and this isn’t racism it is fact! Did the media do anything to acknowledge – a resounding NO comes to mind – and in reality they were part and parcel of what took place. It matters not who was elected but one might question if there are any morals, values, honesty, virtue, goodness, or any other attribute of caring about what is going on – the answer sadly is no for the majority of America and almost of our media, congress, legal system, and especially in whole our government.

The financial war in the United States has almost been lost – when I was interviewed by AP shortly after (within the week) of 9-11 they asked what I thought? I told them it was a strike against the financial heart of America – similar to when the Dutch Fleet caught the Spanish Fleet in mid-1600′s with all of their stolen gold, silver and other artifacts. It took Spain 30 years to go upside down – I projected 10-12 years for the US to do the same. One could call it a terrorist attack – but it was a political attack against the United States by those who’ve declared war against all our Constitution stands for – including the Middle East, China, India, Russia, North Korea – and many more could be added to the list. But mostly funded by the Chinese (again I refer everyone to the Chinese book entitled, “Unrestricted Warfare” 1999 (in English) which is nothing short of the ‘Mein Kampf” of China to the world. And as with the original no one is reading it or one would guess are very many Americans reading or studying the Constitution – especially within our government. The Supreme Court is only supposed to rule on whether a law in which has been passed is within the rights of the Constitution or not – instead we’ve been getting the ‘morning barnyard slop’ of political correctness!  But they get away with it because no one has a clue except for their political balloons and then again the media makes a minority seem like a majority. (Note: Leon Trotsky did this in the lead up to the Russian Revolution – calling the minority the majority.)

We’re so far in debt we’ll never get out – never – as our current POTUS and his Vice and their families drop a million here and there on their personal trips, vacations and excuses with the tax-payers money. Gay-rights – is not the issue – mirrors and bright lights are the issue! Beguiling one and all – as Lincoln said, “you can fool some of the people all of the time – but not all of the people all of the time” (words to this thinking). Currently in America the media is fooling the majority of the people all of the time – as is our government – and another 30% most likely don’t care – while what remains make posts and emails and write our fingers to the bone to each other.
 
Remember this is a government arming itself against its own citizens – led by several who’ve an allegiance to other nations and beliefs. Thus to divide and start class warfare is what our government wants to take place – insanity – yes – but never the less the facts all point to this one conclusion. Thus our civilization as we know it is in grave trouble. And again I remind one and all that one needs to have their priorities in order and understand their belief systems. Too many are abandoning all to the highest bidder – seeking slavery rather than the expected death which awaits the losers. When the Savior counseled his Apostles he expressly told them they would have to ‘endure to the end.’  Each of them knew this meant to their deaths in mortality. How many of us have heard this same command – better how many of us understand why we must be obedient to this direction? Our national leaders have no such belief system and certainly feel they will be the winners in spite of the truth of the situation.
 
The world is continuously at war – one would have a difficult time deciding when there has been no warfare within this world.  Funding for this warfare worldwide is led by China – and we’ve a nation so far in debt to China as to never get out. But what all have to realize is that China doesn’t care – all they care about is being the last one alive – and nothing else. Should anyone doubt this read and study the history of the past 63 years. China plays the game called ‘Go’ which is different from the ‘Chess’ the rest of the world somehow embraces most likely because the King never gets killed. The game of  ‘Go’ has one winner and all others are liquidated out of existence. If anyone believes anything else then their beliefs will not deny the truth of the desired outcome.   
 
So while the liberal flags waving today in the media and in the courts – power mongers spewing the rhetoric of chattering birds or squirrels – pretending millions support them and their points of view when it is doubtful many even care – as long as they’re just left alone.  Crime in the cities is on the rise – in spite of the most strict gun laws – even a baseball bat or hammer makes a good weapon. Chaos is just around the corner for those who do not have a thorough understanding of the reason why we are here in mortality and the tests we’ve to pass. Being right or wrong matters – sadly most don’t care or are only in it for the short run and the money, power or to satisfy their carnal desires. The liberal mantra is quite simple – we’ve had with us since Cain slew Able. Hedonism, socialism, communism, and the list continues with one voice and one thought. 
 
Pondering who we are is important – understanding where we came from and where we might go is equally important – none of it is a secret – but then again most are in it for the money and thus have to teach, preach and follow the party line. China doesn’t care one bit of any of it – that is the Chinese Government and their loyal army. It would appear our government doesn’t understand any of this – and blind as the bats and deep swimming fish – could care less.  c/ork

Winds blowing a harsh east wind
finding no rest or peace to stay
drying everything in its path found
caking the muds and denying water
brittleness induced into all touched
screaming and flashing mirrors high
lying and beguiling day by day each
believing more and more their voice
liberal flags waving in shamefulness
pretending to be the leaders proud
while simply the tools of other fools!

“Almost Being Lost”

Finding paths long abandoned
searching for water to drink
seeking stars to find the way
yet overcast and blankly gray
almost being lost is just the same
sweat and fear entering within
breathing quicker and shallow
unknowing where one’s going
most likely to find their way
going nowhere quite fast
almost being lost the same!

“Very Close to the Truth”

Wringing one’s mind to search
hoping beyond hope to discover
wanting pure truth and not half
doing away with Greek thought
no need for myths or tall tales
so many come almost to know
being very close to the truth
then turning away or denying
unable to grasp the reality there
coming up empty no more known!

Never in our lifetimes without war
Our land and our lives each tore;
 
Started long before our mortality
Something of collective reality;
 
Earliest known men/women each
Where our histories do us teach;
 
Continuous warfare preferred
Unwanting peace preserved;
 
Man refusing the joy of the quiet
Rather engaged within life’s riot!

Day to day seeking to survive
how to live and why to stay
many it is simply to be so
unknowing no other way out
paying the masters for a right
servitude and slavery okay
others wanting more to become
unable the price able to afford
existence such a fragile thing
when being found unworthy!

“What is it to be Expendable?” cji 3/14/13

 
“What is it to be Expendable?” cji 3/14/13
 
Some may remember the WWII movie entitled, “They Were Expendable” with John Wayne in the lead role. It was about the PT Boats and their crews. Some little known information on the PT Boats was that when they were fitted out – everything was immediately written off of the US Navy books as if they never existed – and if they did were sure to be lost!  These were both men and equipment.
 
Long before in the history of humanity there have always been things and humans who were deemed expendable. The choices of who were expendable being put in the front rows of combating armies and those chosen in various cultural beliefs and sacrifices. Many of those expendable were conditioned to be so – while the majority had no idea they were in such a condition.
 
Back to WWII – how many more could’ve been taken off with General MacArthur’s family? What if MacArthur’s family had been taken off the Philippines months before? What if non-essential personnel had been removed when knowing the seriousness of the situation in the Philippines? How many more could’ve been saved when the later evacuations became required?
 
One might never know when and where men/women have made others expendable due to political necessity or out of convenience.  One should consider the Scriptures, i.e. much as David ordering Uriah the Hittite because of David’s adultery with Bath-sheba. Thus, anyone reviewing both current and recent history many fit this same scenario when one uses the words; convenience, need, politically expedient, suicide, murder, mob violence, mass-shootings or whatever else one can conjure up. 
Currently around the world in many nations – modern and 3rd world many are expendable to the greater needs of the state. Some who belong to the worldly organizations openly flaunt human rights and deal in outright murder and or genocide.
 
When one is given to speculation – how far behind or ahead it the United States of America? Many would surely look upon this in horror – until reminded of the various murdering of unarmed citizens throughout the history of 200+ years. (Note: we could go back to the 1600’s and the Salam Witch burnings, or other travesties of rule by various sects and governments of the time. Yet since most of this isn’t taught or is revised to protect the guilty we’ll not go there.) In addition, we’re only referring to the word expendable as it relates to murder or having someone die at the convenience of another.
 
Murder was performed by both the Native American population as well as the American Military/Government populations. Indeed it becomes murder when the other party has no way of protecting themselves from the aggressors. Indeed, we call the period of time between the Civil War and early 1900 – as the Indian Wars – with some freedom of speech – to justify unwarranted slaughters of the Native Americans – but it was still murder and not self-defense in some cases. In addition, to lie, cheat, steal were the additions of those posing as being representatives of our American Government and not of the Native population.
 
The government and righteous citizens used this against other citizens before the Civil War as well – turning on the Native population when conscious got the better of the MSM. It really came down to who was being murdered, raped, and pillaged and which side of the political or religious side of the spectrum they were located.  This is still true today – and without much difference in the results as most of MSM has again sold their collective souls to the highest bidders. (Note: from recent headlines those who’ve not yet sold out are being threatened by the current administration about the consequences of not being on the politically correct side.)
 
Politically correct expendability depends today on what the administrations decides to call their actions to gain a political objective. Gun control is a good example as the various inconsistencies continue to be downplayed by MSM reporting; Black mobs in malls, mass-shooting where the prime suspect commits suicide by shooting themselves with weapons either locked in their trunks or in the back of the head, there’s a list of many in the Clinton era too long to mention, Black on White crime versus White on Black crime, reporting of retractions after MSM have tried and convicted many without a trial only to find out the accusers are/were lying and thus the list could continue.
 
Without the truthful reporting of MSM – and without honest citizens having a voice into what they saw happen before their own eyes – we’ve a nation of deception and this allows for an easy list of expendables. Team Six comes to mind as well as those in Benghazi; (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/12/reps-escalate-demands-for-information-on-benghazi-survivors-suggest-cover-up/). 
 
Where will and when will this spot and the American people demand their earned rights – and stop the onslaught against honest citizens? If this doesn’t stop – one must consider the consequences. Are the United States ready for mass rioting and thousands of causalities? (Note: in another paper I’ve written ‘Could This Happen?’ as a possible scenario under the current administration.)
 
First, why doesn’t America care? There could be several reasons starting with, most citizens feel they can do nothing due to being loyal and honest citizens they’ve been forced to accept waiting for the other side to act first. Next, many citizens really don’t care – they’re entitled and they see the downfall of civilization in the US as being all in their favor – seeing the spoils as their rewards for non-intervention. This by the way has been taught to them in school, music, movies, video games and most of all by the false reporting in the MSM. Other reasons line the ranks of who, what and where the responsibility is to be found.  Sadly, it comes to the point where most heavily armed military is our own Homeland Security led by several who hate the US (which most have forgotten). Including in these reasons is an Attorney General who’s perjured himself, and an administration; and other government employees who’ve already sold their souls to Socialism and the current administration.
 
Lastly, we’ve a President whose forsaken his oath of office to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States – which most American Citizens have no or little understanding. Schools no longer teach the Constitution – only Political Correctness and what is taught are those rights which taken out of context only protects those who choose to violate another’s rights while demanding their own. When the President of the US bypasses Congress – threatens the Supreme Court and other Federally appointed judges we’ve some serious problems about whom and what is expendable.
 
If in fact the Constitution is expendable then all rights under the Constitution will no longer exist! Thus those who’ve been hiding behind the Constitution will no longer have any place to hide. Thus, the criminals and others who scream racism, freedom of speech (including MSM), freedom of religion (including the Civil Rights Leaders), any form of local, city, urban, state governments will cease to exist, the Federal Military, National Guards, Local Militias and any other form of protection – i.e. police, sheriff and state police with no longer have any authorities in which to operate.  In fact, nothing in our current structure will continue to exist! This would mean no elected Federal, State or Local Governments leaders would continue to exist. 
 
Chaos should come to mind of all Americans! Of course if you’re an illegal alien – a felon from justice – or otherwise an enemy of the US then you would no longer to be so as the US would no longer exist! Banks would close – money would be worthless – Dr. Spencer would be re-created in foremost fantasy of survival of the fittest (or the one with the most weapons and strength).  As for many US citizens they would no longer have form of defense with the sole exception of self-defense.
 
The Department of Homeland Security would have the run of the land – and whether they choose to follow the President or not would be entirely up to them as his office would no longer exist. China and Russia would foreclose on the remains of the nation – there would be no employment – no social security – no hospitals – no prisons or jails – no further welfare checks – nothing – nil – zip – zero anything except which an individual or family could provide for one another.
 
A nation which is found to be expendable is no longer a nation – and can offer nothing to its supporters or opponents. Gold, silver or other precious stones or metals would be worthless – and the only potential commodity would be food (if it isn’t stolen from those who have it). Remember with every major storm most of our stores are sold out or robbed empty within less than 36 hours. Most have no means to cook (there will be no electricity) – and very few the means to hunt and to survive.
 
This should alarm most but again most don’t care – figuring they’ll survive as the expense of others who are expendable due to their present need. While daily the message is failing to get across to most citizens and even the illegals of what is at stake – the wheels continue to roll. Gun control always is followed by tyranny, slaughter, famine, pestilence, disease and worse conditions than anyone could imagine. Killing the Christians or Native Americans or the Genocide seen in the nations of the world in history will pale in comparison.
 
Recently there have been reports of the mass murders of the 20th Century – Russia, China, Germany, 3rd World Nations, etc. – these all added together will pale in what will take place in the US. Consider the following: 1) 300 Urban areas with over 100,000 in population; 2) 200 Urban areas with over 170,000 in population; 3) 100 Urban areas with over 381,000 in population; and 4) over 42 with over 1,000,000 in population with NYC at 18,000,000+ and Los Angeles with over 12,000,000 in population.  In total there are 497 Urban areas in the US Currently with more than 50,000 in total population subject to various shortages with the destruction of the Constitution.  (Note: this is one reason the likelihood of the US ever returning to a conservative – Constitutional believing and following nation under the current status quo will never happen in our collective lifetimes.)
 
It only take 21 major urban areas to control a national election. 23 States are represented in the top 21 Urban areas – with a population of 104 million people To put this a different way – than .83% of the area of the United States is represented by 33% of the nation’s voters. If you include the top 42 Urban areas you’ve only added 8 more states and a population of over 135 million people. This equates to 43% of the population in the living in only 1.16% of the area of the United States. These urban areas control every national election!  Roughly 129 million votes were cast in the 2012 Presidential election (including over 100% in many urban areas of registered voters).
 
When the voter base constitutes less than 1.2% of the total area of a nation – that anyone who lives not in these urban areas (or 23 states) will have little if no effect on a national election or even state elections for Senators, Governors or on various legislation state wide.  Truly we’ve a compromised system of elections. It’ll get worse as time goes on – with more and more illegals, gang problems and the population growth within the major urban areas. The entitled go to the urban areas due to the plethora of benefits, hospitals and other public programs. Few areas can withstand the constant demand on their educational, medical, public services and legislation from this entitled population.
 
Thus we’ve a nation in which roughly 98% of land area where 57% of the population are expendable to political correctness and expedience.  Daily there are isolated instances where law abiding citizens are arrested, guns confiscated, freedoms lost – due to the lies and deceit of those in public positions. Denial of religious, Constitutional, and basic human treatment are attacked and demeaned with the MSM either ignoring it or reporting that which supports the illegal actions of those elected, appointed or otherwise employed by local, state and federal agents/representatives. 
 
Consider if you’re reading this – most likely a very small percentage of the population – that you’re now considered expendable! While some may not think so – read and see what is happening all around you. In China the first to be slaughter have always been those who could read and write and reason – why should the US be found any different? 
In speaking with many who’ve immigrated legally to the US from nations with far less freedoms – they constantly ask what is wrong with your citizens and why can’t they understand what is happening to their nation? This is a great question – which none seem to want to answer – or take responsibility.
 
Soon it will be too late not to answer – and thus too late to respond to something which is destroying the United States – whose foundation is the Constitution.  One must remember the current administration was elected to political office – with most not caring why or why not they voted for or against them. Indeed even with the MSM misleading and misrepresenting – most should be able to see that we’re headed to Socialism or even worse a dictatorial state. For even in Socialism there has to either be a military leader or king like ruler – call him/her by whatever name you can conjure up – but it is all the same – someone with unlimited power ruling over those without rights (as we now enjoy and know them). 
 
Expendable is the appropriate word for those who oppose such a situation occurring in the United States – look around and see what the MSM presents and if you fit in and agree or disagree. Then you will know whether you indeed are expendable. In my personal case I’m surely expendable – a disabled veteran – who can read and write – exercising my rights to Freedom of Speech and Press – honoring our Heavenly Father and His Son who sacrificed His all so that we might have the opportunity to earn eternal salvation by choosing the right and being obedient to the Commandment, Statute and Laws directed by he and his Father and ours. 
 
As the PT Boats in WWII – and those of other wars and places – for one reason or other the application of being expendable could apply to any and all of us. Each must never forget that the goal is total control – power – wealth and everyone and anyone will be used as a stepping stone for those without morals, values, integrity, virtue, honesty, truthfulness – including those lying in bed with them. The system of survival of the fittest requires anyone who is a threat needs to be eliminated and no one is exempt.

Never a me to be found
just another over there
I’ve done nothing wrong
actually I’ve little value
the worldliness of today
requires few if any of me
seeking instead others
called sisters or brothers
maybe evil like them to be
causing morals to decay
contentions each to stew
playing an acid rock song
but expendable isn’t fair
within its web all bound!
