Why the Panic??

If you want an education on how and why our national debt (the deficit) will destroy the USA as you used to know it, unintentionally probably, the writers of the TV show Castle nailed it. In the second of two episodes starting with Pandora there is a moment of discovery of the Linchpin. As they stand there figuring out what could happen, they suddenly have a revelation of what will happen when the world stops financing our national debt...let's us starve..our military collapses...our society implodes.

We are very close to that now...because of the insanity and incompetence of our governmental leaders and those who keep electing these people. Some people in government today should be in prison right now for their maleficence in the cell next to Bernie Madoff. Illinois is the worst offender of the lot, we are the single most badly governed state in the union...but...the USA is not far behind.

You can see the whole episode on HULU. BUT if you saw the show, you now understand why the panic over our economic fragility in the USA. Our nation is in the balance...right now. IF you think I am overreacting, you don't really understand the seriousness of the situation. I will trust the Lord. I'll be OK, but my country will be gone, and that IS a crime that should be punished.

Died within hours of each other. I had a physician explain this phenomena to me. It's about the level of shock and the connection. This not unlike a husband who dies just hours after his wife does.

Dying Light

Peggy is with her dad. His Last days. He's in a dark Room, WHY? I woke up to glorious sunlight this morning. Blue sky. Looking forward to the light of day.

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin". 1 John 1:17

IF you are in the medical field, if you know about these things, will you tell me why we have the lights dimmed as people die? Seems like we would want them to be in the sunlight. It won't be such a shock when they pass from time into eternity..

"But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall". Malachi 4:2

I want to go out with the blazing light of the Sun of Righteousness in my eyes.

It's not Socialism, it's just insurance...

This is the truth. The current Government is using insurance to socialize our whole society. I had not considered this until the FLUKE FLAP. IF you force me to buy insurance to help cover you, it's not tax, it's insurance. WOW. That's what Obama care really is. Using insurance to implement socialism.

If you and I both choose to buy insurance against getting hit by a meteor, voluntarily socializing the risk of such an event between ourselves, that’s not socialism. But if you force me and everybody else to join your risk pool, that is socialism.

It doesn’t matter if we’re insuring against the risk of a meteor strike, or insuring against the need for contraception. That’s socialism.

Look, for instance, at the federal crop insurance program. It’s a government program socializing risk among farmers. It’s voluntary now, though heavily subsidized, and for two years (from 1994 until it was repealed in 1996) it was mandatory if you wanted to receive other benefits.

Insurance is going to be used as the method through which which the government is going to socialize our society. Insurance, when optional, is fine. Insurance where we don’t get a choice is socialism.

In the Future, Socialism Will Advance Through "Insurance"

We don't Need no steekin Austerity

There is no austerity. On January 20, 2001 (Bush took office) our federal deficit was 5.7 Trillion He was in office 8 years. When he left office and Obama took over the deficit he inherited was 10.6 trillion. Bush nearly doubled the federal deficit in his 8 years in office. That's money we don't have. Obama starting point from which he promised to cut the federal deficit in half was 10.6 trillion. Now 3.3 years later the federal deficit is $15.5 trillion (as of this morning) and increasing every second. You personally owe $49,698 of this debt. PAY UP. To put all this in perspective, rather than cutting the federal deficit in half as he promised. Instead of halting the spending that caused Obama to call Bush unpatriotic for spending like he did, we are on a trajectory to end up with 23 trillion in debt by the end of 8 years (God forbid) of the Obama administration. If nothing changes he will have added 12 trillion dollars in debt by the end of his term. Greece will look good compared to us. Let me be MUCH more clear. IF we get to that point, there will BE no United States of America. We will be either the divided states of America with the union dissolved or we will be subject state to the dictatorship of our creditors. China will call the tune more than they do now. OR Russia. OR...if you believe in such things... AntiChrist....will rule our nation. We are on the verge of national collapse...and we argue about who should steer the sinking ship. How about figuring out how to stop sinking. Firing the captain would be a good first step, but there are a LOT of others badly in need of firing.

Obama Is a Lock to win re election...and that is a catastrophe

Is it puzzling that a president who has overseen years of economic stagnation, rising unemployment, soaring energy costs, unprecedented waste, the decay of the real estate market, and an assault on the civil liberties of both Americans and non-Americans that goes beyond even the depredations of George W. Bush looks likely to get re-elected?

Not really. The idea that elections reflect the national mood is more myth than reality. At this time in 2004 few would have called Bush an inspiration or a deliverer of bounty. Unemployment wasn’t as bad as it is now, but it was an uncomfortable 6 percent. The last leg of a decades-long real-estate hyperinflation was just starting to ravage the economy. The pacification of Iraq was still in its pre-surge shambles. The same bellyaching about stagnant middle-class wages you hear all over the media today you heard back then.
Then the Democrats made the smart move and nominated the Bay State’s Mitt Kerry. Now the Republicans will also play it safe with the Bay State’s John Romney. I may not have those names exactly right, but you can see where this is heading.

Bad Boys are No Good, Good Boys are No Fun

By Junior De Souza Blessings friends, After I wrote the article on Jezebel (click HERE to read), I was flooded with responses. Many asked questions like,How can we help the men become strong?, and, What should the men do? This article is one of a few I will be writing in the coming months to answer exactly that. I am aiming this article at single Christian men in a dating/courtship/premarriage context. However, the points can and should be converted and applied by married men also. NOTE: I will use the term bad boy often throughout this writing. I do not mean bad in a moral sense (as in evil or wicked), but bad in a slang sense to mean unbridled masculinity. Junior Nice Guys & Bad Boys Often I hear unmarried women say, "I want a nice guy with a sense of humor who will treat me well." Her girlfriends reply therapeutically in warm-fuzzy unison, "Aw...I know...me too." After this Lifetime movie estrogen session, they each return to their "Bad Boy" boyfriends who treat them like poop. Next month, and the month after that, and the year after that, they repeat this futile X-chromosome ritual. So goes the maddening ping ponging women often do between Nice Guys and Bad Boys. Bad Boys Nice guys want to be them. Intellectual guys hate them. Women love them. And somehow, the world needs them. If it weren't for the God of heaven and earth, bad boys would run the planet. He is primal and dangerous. Nonconservative and outside boxes. He pushes limits. He ignores social conventions and implied rules. He doesn't walk, he swaggers. He doesn't talk, he charms. He doesn't share his thoughts, he declares them. He is not looking for something, he sees himself as the something everyone is looking for. For these and several other reasons, bad boys overwhelm the female brain. Her mind and heart may hate him, but her viscera craves him. The Bad Boy is the archetypal male who embodies unbridled masculinity--manhood at its rawest and wildest. In an age of weak men, overly nice guys, boring men, effeminate men, and homosexual men, bad boys are embarrassingly refreshing to women and society. We love to hate them and we hate to love them. Christlike Bad Boys But bad boys are on to something. Yes, they can be astonishingly immature. Yes, their narcissism is rancid. But they are still on to something very fundamental. Bad boys have somehow managed to retain powerful male attributes in a time when manhood is being rigorously undermined. True manliness has been threatened by excessive technology, sedentary lifestyles, poor/absent fathers, gender muddling, homosexuality, transgenderism, Nice Guy complexes, and so on. Authentic masculinity is up against the ropes. We can expect these things from the lost world, but not in the kingdom and church. We need Christlike bad boys--men with the spirit and power of David. Our bored wives and frustrated single sisters need them. They need Christ-centered men who have restored in themselves a definitive and irresistible manliness. Bad boys are confident. The aura of supreme confidence is the bad boy's most magnetic trait. Call it cocky or cavalier, but they are undeniably surrounded by a silver pool of light. Everywhere they go and everything they do is saturated with gusto and bravado--whether it be with friends or with women, at the grocery store or the Christmas party, opening a Coke or opening a door, entering their car or entering a crowded room. This larger-than-life, in-control demeanor mesmerizes people, especially women. Insecurity and self-doubt do not exist in their mental models. While timid Christian men are waiting passively for the best blessings, the bad boys of this world are gorging themselves on the spoils. Where are the Christlike bad boys who will plunder the sons of Babylon? Become a Christlike Bad Boy Single brothers, Scripture never tells us to be castrated churchmen. It tells us to be Christlike. It tells us to aggressively pursue kingdom blessings (Mt 11:12). This means supreme confidence and proactive go-getting--not in the strength of flesh or ego--but in the spirit of a Davidic kingly identity Christ has already conferred on us (Rev 1:6 NKJV). In the realm of romance/premarriage, this means stop being so wimpy when you're interested in a godly sister. Never be pushy or disrespectful, but demonstrate a robust male confidence. You must exude that you have what it takes to be her David and Boaz. If you do secure a date/outing with her, be your strongest You. Don't act like a puppy. Don't stare up at her. Don't hesitate when talking. Be decisive. Take the lead. Voice your convictions. Be funny and fun. Be supremely confident in your kingship and manhood. Bad boys are nonreactive. The bad boys of Babylon care very little about very little. They care about themselves and their next adventure, that's about it. They have a laissez-faire, que sera sera, easy come-easy go attitude. Ironically, this is one of the main reasons they are so successful with women. If she says No...who cares? The next Yes is just around the corner. If she says Yes...well, it is for her own good. Conceited? Quite. But there is a deeper social mechanism at work. What is happening here is social leveraging throughnonreactivity. People only react when they sense a benefit or threat. Therefore, when a person is nonreactive in a situation, he/she senses neither benefit nor threat. This nonreactive demeanor is a social message that says, "I have more than you, I know more than you, I am more powerful than you, therefore, you are not any benefit or threat to me." This message indicates the nonreactive person has higher social value, and thus, is more significant and desirable. This is why women often pine over men who pay little or no attention to them. Their biological instincts tell them this man has higher social status and power, and thus, ideal to be aligned with. Become a Christlike Bad Boy Single brothers, we need a healthy measure of nonreactivity, but for the right reasons. First of all, we should not react to everything in life. Few things are truly attention-worthy. Respond only to those comments or happenings that really are substantial. If you do this well, people sense you are on a higher spiritual and social dimension. They will desire to align with you. In romance/premarriage, nonreactivity is even more important. Women perceive the status and power of a man by his nonreactivity, or stated another way, by his wise and calculated reactions. Your cruise-control steadiness indicates your high caliber as a man. Therefore, do not be hypersensitive or easily moved by a woman's testy comments and behaviors. In fact, do not be easily moved by women in general. Your reality is much larger than her, encompassing Christ, His kingdom, your own mission in life, your sphere of influence, your passions and interests, and so on. So be cool! Proverbs 17:27(NKJV):...a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Show emotion and react at times that are truly important and necessary. Our single sisters and wives need us to be this still, steady tree trunk for them. Song of Songs 2:3(NIV): Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade... Bad boys are emotionally independent. I have never met a bad boy who was overly dependent on others. And certainly not a Mama's Boy. Sure, they have other addictions and issues, but direct emotional dependency on others is not often one of them. In fact, the allure of these guys is that they seem so self-sufficient and independent, which is interpreted by people (especially women) as superior emotional strength. It's true. The more emotionally independent a man is, the stronger he becomes. This does not mean he is above intimacy and bonding--not at all. It means this: a man should be emotionally independent enough to be the pillar and tree trunk for his lady, family, and social circle. Codependents and Mama's Boys will always be the puppies on someone else's leash. Become a Christlike Bad Boy Single brothers, it is time to individuate emotionally.Individuation means "the quality of being individual and independent". Instead of looking to others for your solution, look to Jesus and your own life. Get passionate about your own life! If emotional deficits are keeping you dependent on others, get healing from the Lord, His Word, prayer, and counseling. In romance/premarriage, realize women will consciously and subconsciously "test" you. They are assessing your level of strength and independence. Weaker males fail these tests by being excessively compliant, hypersensitive, getting flustered, desperate, begging, doing anything to please, changing their opinions to accommodate her, and so on. This is why nice guys finish last--they are not truly Christlike. Paul says Christ and Christlikeness always leads us to triumph (2Co 2:14).Always. You be the leader and you set the pace. Do not give in if your conscience or common sense says you shouldn't. Stand your ground. Say No. Disagree. If necessary, walk away. Our single sisters need us to be this kind of emotionally independent, individuated, Christlike man. Bad boys are fun, adventurous, & risky. Whether it's driving too fast or dancing till dawn, or hitting on a taken woman or forcing down one more shot, the bad boys of Babylon live life like a video game. Their motto is, I'll try anything once. Though it may be quite dangerous at times, it is one fun ride for all involved. Especially for girls, who, like Cyndi Lauper sang, "just wanna have fun". These guys do not look for adventure; they themselves are the adventure. With uncanny creativity, they turn even the most mundane situations into an experience. Become a Christlike Bad Boy Single brothers, develop a fun, adventurous, and risky spirit. Think it, feel it, plan it, then go do it! Sometimes we cannot even plan it; we must move on pure, heart-pounding spontaneity. By "risky" I do not at all mean sinful or illegal. I mean pushing legitimate limits, and, doing radical and unusual things. Instead of dinner and a movie, why not take her for a glass of champagne in a hot air balloon? Instead of the community pool, a natural waterfall? Instead of one movie, a movie marathon of three movies? Instead of homemade popcorn, roasting marshmellows on a lighter? Bad boys often kiss the wilder side of life like this. From big, preplanned events to daily habits to spontaneous adventures, they make life interesting and humorous. You do not need to be a genius. You do not need a million dollars. Relax, loosen up your Mr. Rogers belt, and be fun, adventurous, and risky! Bad boys are mysterious. Mystery is one of the most powerful forces that be. Mystery is that dangling carrot, that bouncing string keeping the cat interested, that uncertain ending that keeps us watching. This is a large part of what keeps us seeking God--we know there is more. Bad boys are masterfully mysterious. Not necessarily because they are social experts, but because they must hide personal information that could undermine their game. Therefore, they will hide or obscure their intentions, emotions, thoughts, history, or any other kind of sensitive information. They have mastered the poker face. They ration their words. They communicate with purpose. Women, who thrive on communication, are both bothered and attracted by this mystery. Like an Alfred Hitchcock movie, they are baited and hooked to see how the story ends--to discover, understand, and experience the man behind the mystery. Is he really all that? Is he a con-artist? Something in-between? How will I ever know? Sure...I'll meet you for dinner...again. Become a Christlike Bad Boy Single brothers, stop the diarrhea of the mouth. Stop sharing too much too quickly. Be like slow-digesting carbs...slowly and progressively release your sugars. Women feel safer with men they can read easily, but, they are immensely more attracted to mysterious men they can discover over time. The unveiling is sweeter and more treasured. Jesus does this with us. He does not reveal too much of Himself too quickly. He reveals Himself proportionately and progressively according to our level of intimacy, faithfulness, and longevity with Him (Mk 4:22-25). Brothers, if you want a chance at being her David and Boaz, do not dump your soul on her. Love her like Jesus would--reveal yourself proportionately and progressively. Bad boys are virile. Virile means "full of sexual energy". Bad boys are virile. They assertively, and sometimes brazenly, own their sexuality. Through comments and jokes, clothing and accessories, body language and facial expressions, bad boys ooze a plethora of social cues saying, "I am a ready, able, and confident lover." The female brain interprets his cues as saying, "I can produce the strongest, healthiest offspring." While nice guys are trying so hard to "not mess up" and make their mother proud on their first date, bad boys have already stolen their date's attention from blazing pheromones sent across the room. Become a Christlike Bad Boy Single brothers, believe it or not, you can be both Christlike and virile. No, you don't have to sin with your words. No, you don't have to sin sexually. No, you don't have to act like a teenage boy. No, you don't have to ogle. I will let the Holy Spirit give you the personal applications. However, you can begin by not denying or disassociating from your sexual nature. This is who you are as a basic man--sexual, testosteroned, and virile. Our single sisters need to sense we would be confident lovers in the marriage bed, and, our wives need husbands to lead the way to a green bed (SS 1:16). www.juniordesouza.com www.jdarticles.com www.prophecyeducation.com

A note from a Prophet Friend of Mine....WOW

I am wondering if we will even have another genuine election; however, if we should be blessed with an untainted, untampered election, may we do the right thing and vote in favor of liberty and justice in this country. Remember, this coming presidential election is not about color. It is about the survival of America and getting a president in who will stop the trashing of our constitution.
If you are black, please do not think it a case of being prejudiced when I say that I cannot, in good conscience, vote for a president who so boldly puts money into the hands of the enemies of Israel and who is working so furiously to bring this country to its demise. To vote for one because of color sure would be a narrow scope of thinking. May we all vote for deeper reasons than for the color of one's skin. We are all in danger of becoming a nation under bondage to global supremacy.
There is an ever increasing possibility that this current president may bring this nation under martial law and exalt himself into a position of dictatorship. What makes me think such a thing? Well...considering the fact that opposition to this governmental takeover is growing...I believe the powers behind the administration may opt to move us more quickly into the New World Order.
Right under our noses, the military branches of this country, along with United Nations forces, are working with our police forces in training for coming against citizens of this country. We are a nation about to become an openly oppressed police state. Imprisonment is coming toward us at an unrealized speed and is about to overtake us.
There is much more going on here than many realize. We are losing our constitutional rights to the globalists' agenda. Our constitutional rights to worship GOD without political and religious intolerance are about to disappear, leaving us to stand solely upon the GOD-given right to worship HIM in the midst of opposition. Do not be so vain as to think that this could never happen here.
Allow me to remind you that this is not the land of GOD's promise. This is not Israel's inheritance. Israel is GOD's nation of promise. Despite the fact that I hold strong feelings for America, it is but another of the nations that will be brought into prophetic aligniment with the Scriptures that declare that all nations will come against Israel.
At the risk of being maligned by well-meaning people, I am saying that I believe it to be too late for America to return to any similitude of that once great nation over which we have grieved.
GOD be with you, my Brothers and Sisters in JESUS CHRIST.

The REAL Power in the USA, President Goldman Sachs has Spoken and if you expect Social Security, Get Real...

A report released today by Goldman Sachs says that if push comes to shove, the federal government will pay its lenders before it pays Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries. Debt service “should be seen as the top claim on government resources in most cases,” says the Goldman analy...sis.

On one hand, the idea that lenders come first is blindingly obvious. Just look at what happened last summer, when the government tied itself in knots to make sure it didn’t default on bond payments. Of course lenders stand at the head of the line for taxpayers’ money. On the other hand, if things got really bad in the U.S.—as in Greek bad—the priority of payments could start to flip. At some point, as we have seen in Athens, citizens rise up against lenders and insist that the country protect its own ill and elderly before it pays faceless creditors at home and abroad.

Just a reminder, to those who haven't heard of Section 1104 of the 1935 Social Security Act:

Section 1104 of the 1935 Act, entitled "RESERVATION OF POWER," specifically said: "The right to alter, amend, or repeal any provision of this Act is hereby reserved to the Congress." Even so, some have thought that this reservation was in some way unconstitutional. This is the issue finally settled by Flemming v. Nestor.

In this 1960 Supreme Court decision Nestor's denial of benefits was upheld even though he had contributed to the program for 19 years and was already receiving benefits. Under a 1954 law, Social Security benefits were denied to persons deported for, among other things, having been a member of the Communist party. Accordingly, Mr. Nestor's benefits were terminated. He appealed the termination arguing, among other claims, that promised Social Security benefits were a contract and that Congress could not renege on that contract. In its ruling, the Court rejected this argument and established the principle that entitlement to Social Security benefits is not contractual right.

Again, just a reminder: your "benefits" can be cut

Columbine Speaks

Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's sub-committee.

What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert!

These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness. The following is a portion of the transcript:

"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers." "The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field.

The villain was not the club he used. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart. "In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA.

I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent."

"I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy-it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room.

Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. "I wrote a poem that expresses my feelings best. This was written way before I knew I would be speaking here today:"

Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"

You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!

"Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, soul, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and reek havoc. Spiritual influences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact.

What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties.

We do not need more restrictive laws." Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.

Political posturing and restrictive legislation are not the answers. The young people of our nation hold the key. There is a spiritual awakening taking place that will not be squelched! We do not need more religion. We do not need more gaudy television evangelists spewing out verbal religious garbage. We do not need more million dollar church buildings built while people with basic needs are being ignored.

We do need a change of heart and a humble acknowledgment that this nation was founded on the principle of simple trust in God!" "As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, He did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right!

I challenge every young person in America, and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA- I give to you a sincere challenge.

Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone! My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!"

Do what the media did not... let the nation hear this man's speech
