26 SIMILARITIES BETWEEN AMERICA AND NAZI GERMANY…

We will either learn from history, or we will repeat it…

and whereas our memories are short, may God help us that we don’t make that mistake!!!

What started under former President George W. Bush, under heading of national security, is today being implemented under Obama to move us towards socialism,  just as happened in pre-Nazi Germany…

The 10 steps towards Fascism are as follows:

  1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
  2. Create a gulag
  3. Develop a thug caste
  4. Set up an internal surveillance system
  5. Harass citizens’ groups
  6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
  7. Target key individuals
  8. Control the press
  9. Equate dissent with treason
  10. Suspend the rule of law


Whereas the above video is a bit dated, going back to 2007; nevertheless I think it is still relevant.

The woman being interviewed is obviously left of center in her own political beliefs; but it is good that she is being interviewed, because don’t you see that is the plan, to pit the Left against the Right, all for the reason to keep the attention off the Globalist Agenda and the oligarchy that is behind this movement, that is in fact a shadow government that is now operating behind the scenes.

Also let me start by saying that I was someone who supported and voted for former President George W. Bush, and his father before him, when he was in office. I also believed George W. Bush to be a Christian, and I can’t tell you how disappointed I was to hear all of this and want to say I did not accept this information without doing my own homework; and the evidence is there folks.

As Alan Keyes has said before, and it is true, that when it comes to partisan politics, as practiced here in the United States for years now, whether you are talking Democratic or Republican, partisan issues aside, on the issue of the Globalists agenda to move us towards a New World Order, they both are on the same page, and are two sides of the same coin.

I have often said that our real problem is not Barack Hussein Obama, he and everyone who is like him, in my opinion, are but political opportunists, who are out for themselves… and what else should we expect from people who are in the world?

These men who are in the spotlight so to speak, are but puppets on a string, and they are taking their orders from their handlers, who operate behind the scenes and out of sight, like someone else we know… the Devil, I might add. Neither can stand the light of day!

But on the issue of what our real problem is, as it relates to political opportunism, and one’s ambition to gain more power and wealth, you and I struggle with the same sort of tendencies ourselves, as Christians, as we all do, every single day.

If it were not for the fact that we have had an encounter with Jesus Christ, have been born-again, and have been influenced by the Bible, then most of us would probably be right there beside them, doing the very same things; or at the very least we’d be like the people who voted them into office.

No, our real problem in America is at the grassroots of our country, that the people who vote do not have the discernment and good sense to see the red flags, and despite all the evidence that this man was not who he claimed to be, they voted him into office anyway.

Folks, as I have said before, the same thing exactly happened in Pre-Nazi Germany, in the 30’s, that gave rise to Hitler… and having not learned that lesson from history, we are repeating exactly that same history again, here in America!

As evidence of the truth of what I have just spoken, I would like you to read the following article.

Again I say Pray for America… and may God bless America!

Shalom,

26 SIMILARITIES BETWEEN AMERICA AND NAZI GERMANY

26 Similarities Between America and Nazi Germany

Three Forces Destroying the America We Know

Even the most nominally aware person knows all too well that our nation-and the world-is engulfed in a major economic catastrophe. Thanks to the variety of factors at work, some observers have characterized it as the perfect economic storm. Yet this drama is a mere thunder shower by comparison with a far more devastating potential that threatens to wreck not just the American dream but the entire American ideal. If this maelstrom reaches its full power, liberty and justice for all-to say nothing of the pursuit of happiness-will be wiped from the face of the earth.

A perfect cultural storm is developing from the convergence of three forces, any one of which would seriously harm our way of life. But together they portend the near certain doom of the most cherished American values. Socialism, pagan spirituality, and pragmatism have come together over the last several decades to produce a cataclysm waiting to happen.

Socialism imposes the redistribution of wealth and private property through an all-powerful, freedom-robbing central government. Pagan spirituality embraces the worship of nature along with occult practices and beliefs. Pragmatism proclaims that the truth or worth of an idea is based solely upon the results it brings (pragmatists believe that truth is relative, situational, and that a desired end justifies any means required to reach it). All three of these political, spiritual, and intellectual systems have taken a dominant place in the American worldview.

Doomsday-Again

It’s been said that if we don’t learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. There are those who have even compared the rumblings in America today as similar to those in pre-Nazi Germany of the 1930s. While I don’t buy the notion that our government might be ready to establish concentration camps, the storm clouds heading this way have brought ideas into our public policy, laws, and national consciousness that bear a frightening resemblance to what has gone before-in the worst of times. This same collection of worldviews laid a foundation for the atrocities and godless government of Hitler’s Germany.

Adolph Hitler, you’ll recall, established the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. He also bought into what I call One World Spirituality, a merging of the three worldviews of evolutionary humanism, Hindu pantheism, and occultism.

Atheism in America is no longer in vogue among our “intellectual elite.” It’s being replaced by the far more insidious pantheism-insidious because it is more acceptable to the masses than outright disbelief in God. Pantheism is on track to become the dominate worldview in America and around the world in very short order.

Similar Is as Similar Does

Please understand that I’m not sensationalizing when making these observations. First Chronicles 12:32 says men of the tribe of Issachar were called wise because they “understood the times and knew what God would have them to do.To help you make your own assessment of the situation, I’ve distinguished 26 benchmark issues that clearly define the intensity of the tempest that is nearly upon us. And yes, there are obvious comparisons with the growth of Nazism in Germany. I will point them out unabashedly because it’s only reasonable to say so if something that looks similar to an earlier, dangerous historical parallel actually is similar. After all, storm warnings, by nature, foretell bad news.

As you read through my list, I invite you to understand the times and prepare to respond with a Biblical worldview.

  1. Hitler outlawed school prayer in Germany. In 1962, The U.S. Supreme Court did the same for us.
  2. Hitler eliminated Christian holidays in the schools first by calling Christmas “Yuletide.” Most American public schools now call Christmas vacation a “winter break.”
  3. Hitler took Easter out of schools and instead honored that time of year as the beginning of spring. It has likewise become common for schools in America to refer to time off at Easter as “spring break.”
  4. Hitler controlled the church using intimidation and threats. A half-century ago, U.S. Senator and Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Baines Johnson, promoted a bill that included an amendment to use the Internal Revenue Service to remove the non-profit status of a church that speaks against the election of any specific political candidate.
  5. Hitler enticed thousands of pastors to promote paganism in their congregations. Neopaganism is one of the fastest growing religions in America, doubling every 18 months according to a June 2008 article in The Denver Post.  Many American church-goers practice paganism such as “Christian” yoga, contemplative prayer, and walking a labyrinth. As evidence that church doors continue to open further to aberrant beliefs, a 2008 survey found that 57% of evangelicals do not believe Jesus Christ is the only way to God.
  6. Hitler was an environmentalist and vegetarian. Marriages performed by the Nazi state frequently included blessings of “Mother Earth” and “Father Sky.” Today Americans increasingly accept radical environmentalism, pantheism, and the celebration of Earth Day.
  7. Hitler was fascinated by eastern mysticism. Today an increasing number of American pastors encourage their followers to become “mystic warriors”.
  8. Hitler believed in reincarnation. He even convinced SS officers that by murdering millions of Jews and other “undesirables” they were allowing them to get on with the reincarnation process and come back more quickly in an advanced status. Americans increasingly accept the idea of reincarnation as well as good and bad karma.
  9. Hitler’s holocaust killed between 8 and 11 million Jews and non-Jews. Americans have killed an estimated 50 million babies since abortion was legalized through the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973. According to a July 7, 2008 article on worldnetdaily.com “An abortionist who claims to have destroyed more than 20,000 unborn children and who once was Hillary Clinton’s OB-GYN says he is doing ‘God’s work’ when he terminates a pregnancy…He admits that abortion kills a human soul.”
  10. Hitler killed 270,000 handicapped people through active euthanasia.[1] America and the courts are rushing toward the same with the murder of individuals such as Terri Schiavo. Oregon voters passed their Death with Dignity Act in 1994 and re-affirmed it in 1997. Washington state voters legalized doctor-assisted suicide on November 4, 2008. In December 2008, a Montana judge ruled terminally ill residents of that state have the right to physician-assisted suicide, and “death with dignity” is gaining acceptance in other states as well.
  11. Private schools were abolished by Hitler and all education placed under Nazi control. There is constant pressure from federal and many state education authorities to require that Christian schools use state-mandated, humanistic textbooks. The Home School Legal Defense Association is fighting numerous battles at any given time to prevent parents from loosing the right to educate their children as they see fit. In August 2008, a federal district court ruled that the state of California university system may choose not to recognize the diplomas-and thereby deny college entrance to-students who attended a school using textbooks that express a Biblical worldview in the areas of history and science (i.e., Christian schools).
  12. Hitler prevented dissenters from using radio to challenge his worldview. Many powerful liberals in America have made clear their intent to reintroduce the “Fairness Doctrine” that would require conservative and religious radio stations to offer equal time to anti-Christian, anti-conservative worldviews.
  13. Pastors who spoke against Hitler’s worldview and his murderous regime found themselves on trial and frequently imprisoned for “Abuse of Pulpit.” In America, hate-crime legislation has the potential to criminalize Christians and pastors who speak out against the homosexual agenda.
  14. Many Christians in Germany justified their allegiance to Hitler through a belief that “Their duty to God was spiritual; their duty to the state was political.”[2] Many American Christians now have bought the lie that their worldview can be divided between the secular and the sacred-the politician has one area of responsibility, the pastor another, and never shall the two meet. Yet the Bible teaches that all issues are fundamentally spiritual.
  15. Hitler outlawed the cross and replaced it with the swastika. Today many churches, Christian colleges, and universities have willingly removed the cross from their buildings. Numerous court cases sponsored by the ACLU have required the removal of the cross from public grounds. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that the Ten Commandments cannot be posted on public grounds for religious purposes.
  16. Hitler was fascinated with Friedrich Nietzsche and distributed his writings to his inner circle. Nietzsche promoted Nihilism, the belief that life has no meaning, and he is best known for his position that “God is dead”. Nietzsche is presently one of the most widely read authors by American college students.
  17. Hitler exploited the economic collapse of Germany to take over as dictator and usher in his brand of socialism. America’s financial crisis has given liberals in both political parties the opportunity to grow the size of government and implement freedom-robbing socialism at lightning speed.
  18. Hitler was obsessed with globalism, and many of America’s most powerful political leaders are willing to subjugate American sovereignty to contemporary globalism.
  19. Many Germans responded to Hitler by retreating into neutrality. Today most Americans prefer to remain neutral on moral issues that they think don’t affect them personally.
  20. On trial after World War II, Hitler’s henchmen used the defense that they had not broken any laws. True, they had not defied the laws of Germany since those had been re-written to fit the goals and objectives of Hitler. The Nazi leaders were nevertheless found guilty because the courts at the time recognized a “law above the law.” Yet now the U.S. Supreme Court has rejected the law of nature and nature’s God by claiming that as society evolves, morals evolve, and so the law, too, must evolve.
  21. Calling upon Darwinian evolution, Hitler convinced the German people that purging millions of people was acceptable because of the need to create a pure race; also referred to as eugenics. American students across the board have been educated in Darwinian evolution because the Supreme Court has ruled that creation cannot be taught in our schools-even if both creation and evolution are taught side by side.
  22. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood in America became acquainted with the doctors and scientists that had worked with Nazi Germany’s eugenics program and had no quarrel with the euthanasia, sterilization, abortion, and infanticide programs of the early Reich.[3] Sanger even published several articles in Birth Control Review that reflected Hilter’s White Supremacist worldview. Planned Parenthood now grosses one billion per year.
  23. In Germany, pastors often cited Romans 13:1-2 to encourage Christians to obey the Nazis. Today in America, many pastors have a false view of Romans 13:1-2 and have convinced millions that to disobey governing authorities is to disobey God. This poor training would facilitate Christians here doing just as the German Christians did if faced with similar challenges.
  24. Germans accepted socialism to avoid pain. Today’s Americans are rejecting capitalism in exchange for government-sponsored “free” healthcare, education, and countless other government handouts.
  25. Many Americans accept what I call, One World Spirituality. This is actually an amalgamation of the three worldviews of evolutionary humanism, Hindu pantheism, and occultism. I noted earlier that Hitler embraced all of these.
  26. America is rushing toward government-sponsored, national healthcare. We already have a form of this in Medicare and Medicaid. Hitler, too, expanded and centralized Germany’s healthcare system. As Melchior Palyi explained, “The ill-famed Dr. Ley, boss of the Nazi labor front, did not fail to see that the social insurance system could be used for Nazi politics as a means of popular demagoguery, as a bastion of bureaucratic power, [and] as an instrument of regimentation.”

If the church in Germany had truly acted like the Church of Jesus Christ, if Christians had understood and lived out a Biblical worldview, Germany would never have accepted Hitler. I believe he would have been rejected and overthrown within weeks of his true worldview coming to light.

Most American church members today are simply reflect the culture instead of correcting and changing it. If we are to quiet the brewing storm, apathy, political correctness, and intellectual laziness must be replaced with a passion for Biblical truth, sound reasoning, logic, and the desire to lead.

Becoming a leader does not mean you must be on the radio, give speeches, or even stand up in front of a group. An effective influencer leads through his or her actions and lifestyle. Lovingly defending and proclaiming truth in a world bent on  political correctness is being a leader. Even in private conversation, leadership can take the form of lovingly correcting someone’s false beliefs or ideas.

America needs Christians now more than ever to take the lead. If not, the perfect storm is ready, and annihilation is what it portends.

Some would call this a position of prayer… it is not!

This is not the proper position for any Christian to be in!

I would say there are even Christians today, who have assumed this position as their position of prayer… but the Bible instructs us to watch and pray, does it not?!

This is still American, and mind you this is going on today in our country:



Need I remind you that our nation was not founded by pacifists, but it was founded by Christians; and neither has our liberty been preserved by pacifists, but by people who put themselves in harm’s way, many at the cost of their lives, and died in order to preserve this liberty that so many today are taking for granted!

This pattern of eating an elephant one bite at a time takes both patience and time; and for those who have the eyes to see and ears to hear, who have heard the warnings from people like Brigitte Gabriel, who is founder and president of an organization called American Congress for Truth, will understand that this is exactly what the plan is for our United States of America; as it is today in the UK; as it is in France; and as it has already happened in Lebanon, where Mrs. Gabriel is from.

It is because this Administration, as well as the last Republican Administration (under George W. Bush), and the one before that (under Clinton) were all soft on the problem of the illegals invading our borders; and also given the fact that this present administration, under Obama, is on record himself as being pro Islamic in his own beliefs; and also because of the fact that all of this serves the Globalist ultimate agenda to move our nation closer towards a “New World Order;” all of this together is the reason why you won’t be hearing about this on the evening news.

Well, that elephant is being eaten right before our eyes… as I would add, happened once before in a place called pre-Nazi Germany; but even as I write, I can hear some of you are saying, Dearborn is not my problem and it is far from where I live; and besides I have enough problems myself locally, just trying to survive in this economy, not to be concerned about what’s going on the other side of the country.”

I know sure as shooting that this is exactly what some of you are saying; and I can tell you that is exactly what the enemy is counting on; and when I say the “Enemy,” I mean Satan, the Devil.

Obama, Bush, and Clinton ALL have been puppets on his string, and they all have been both recruited and mentored, since their college days, in secret societies and such to betray their country; as this meal to serve up this proverbial elephant began long ago, more than 200 years ago, and even goes back before the founding of our country… and I can tell you this, the enemy is counting on your inaction and your acquiescence to what is happening today.

Christians, the world, the unbelievers in our country do not have the biblical perspective that you and I have; and they aren’t aware of the prophecies regarding these last days, and the New World Order, as you and I are… they don’t know what they don’t know… and so possibly even they have an excuse for their ignorance, and for not seeing the danger; but you and I don’t!

Need I remind you that it was definitely not a soft and weak people who came here to shape our nation; but rather they were for the most part Christians, who came here as Pilgrims.

They were a people who were fleeing the same sort of religious persecution and abuse that is today developing in our country, and though it is in the beginning stages, it nevertheless is happening; howbeit for the Pilgrims, their source of persecution was from a corrupt church hierarchy, not from Secular Humanism (which is a religion folks), or Islamic fundamentalism, as we see in our country today.

Satan is very religious folks, and he doesn’t care what the label is over you church or synagogue, or mosque, he will use them all to serve his purpose, to enslave and deceive; and that is exactly the reason why Jesus warned us that we need to be wise as serpents; and also the Apostle Paul warned us not to be ignorant of the enemy’s devices, meaning his strategies and mode of operation that the enemy uses.

However, I’m sad to say that is exactly where much of the church is today, where Christians are most comfortable with their heads in the sand… and are hoping against hope, in fear, that all of this goes away!

This nation was not formed by Christians like that, who were passive, who were just going with the flow, I can tell you that; and even in our war to gain our Independence, against Mother England, it required people just like you and I going against the flow, and the status quo; in order to resist the evil that was being forced upon them.

The question is, do we not care enough for the liberty that we have today, that so many have shed their blood to preserve, that we won’t even speak up?

Again, I can tell you that is exactly what the enemy is counting on, and if you are fearful and are paralyzed and are not willing to speak up, we will most certainly repeat the same history here in America, that happened in pre-Nazi Germany… and you can count on it!

Folks I can tell you, if you ever felt a need to pray for our nation, please do so now; as we are at a definite crossroads in our history.

I really don’t think it is set in stone yet what our role is to be, that will be played by the United States in these last days, as to which side we will be on (either for or against God), and whether we are a sheep nation or a goat nation when our Lord comes back.

I do however believe that what we do and don’t do right now, whether we are praying and interceding or not, will determine just that. And so I urge you ALL, who are Christian, to pray, to both watch and pray, as though our future and the future of our children depended upon it… because I can tell you this, it most certainly does!

In conclusion, once again I would like to direct your attention to an effort that is on going right now, as I write; and it is a peaceful movement by all fifty states of the union to take back our country, and restore our Constitutional Republic once again, as it was originally established by our founding fathers.

If you have ever wondered and have been frustrated, as I have been, as to why our government today is so unresponsive and obtuse, and why our elected representatives, especially of late, just seem to go ahead and blatantly do whatever they want, regardless of the will of the People, well there is a reason.

They are not representing us; but as our nation is formed now, and has been since 1871, under articles of a corporation, our elected officials are legally officers of the corporation; and as such they no longer serve We the People, nor the Republic, but they serve the Corporation!

Now mind you this is a peaceful movement and these people have the Constitution, and therefore the law on their side.

As soon as they started presenting these letters to the governors, however the media tried to paint these people as extremists.

Here is what the media was saying; but ever since they found out different, that these people are not extremist… there has been a media blackout. Again I want to remind you that the media is highly influenced and controlled by the Globalist agenda, and they are NOT on the side of a Free Republic, and so they are not on our side at all!

I would like you to read a note I got from a friend, who is the California Coordinator for this movement, and is someone I have known for years:

“The military SUPPORTS US as a people now.  We need to establish this movement in front of all, so they know and can support their new government.  What people don’t realize is that all media is controlled by a few people.  Those few are heavily tied into the bankers and global agenda.   When we first served the Governors on March 31st of 2010, we were all over the news.” ~ Kelby Smith

This movement is called the RESTORE AMERICAN PLAN, and the reason you are not hearing anything about it is because, as I have told you the media is no longer trustworthy, and they are for the most part already bought and paid for, just as many of our politicians are.

And for those of you who are reading this, and still don’t believe what I’m telling you, who aren’t even aware that we are no longer legally a Constitutional Republic, and that our government illegally changed us, back in 1871, form a Constitutional Republic to the UNITED STATES CORPORATION, this is exactly what I’m talking about, and that is exactly the reason why we are in real danger today of losing our freedom.

If you aren’t careful, what you don’t know, and what you aren’t willing to confront, resist and speak out against will soon over run you and your family like a freight train!

Shalom,

Skip Barland

America, 2010:

Christians hauled to jail for preaching Jesus
‘Apparently the Constitution carries little weight in Dearborn’

Posted: June 22, 2010
9:06 pm Eastern

WorldNetDaily

One of the nation’s top legal teams regarding civil and religious rights has stepped into a dispute stemming from last weekend’s Arab Festival in Dearborn, Mich., where police are accused of enforcing Islamic law.

“Officers arrested four Christian missionaries and illegally confiscated their video cameras which were recording the events surrounding their arrests,” said a statement today from the Thomas More Law Center of Ann Arbor, Mich.

Officials in the police department with the city of Dearborn declined to comment to WND.

Be a champion for the absolute truth of Scripture, and learn your spectacular destiny direct from your Bible that’s hardly ever mentioned in church: Get “Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You’ve Never Been Told” — autographed!

But the law center announcement said the incident has been described as “police enforcement of Shariah law.” The organization said it would represent the Christians.


“These Christian missionaries were exercising their constitutional rights to free speech and the free exercise of religion, but apparently the Constitution carries little weight in Dearborn, where the Muslim population seems to dominate the political apparatus,” said Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center.

“It’s apparent that these arrests were a retaliatory action over the embarrassing video of the strong arm tactics used last year by festival security guards. This time, the first thing police officers did before making the arrests was to confiscate the video cameras in order to prevent a recording of what was actually happening,” Thompson said.

Arrested on charges of breach of the peace were Negeen Mayel, Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, Paul Rezkalla and David Wood, the legal team said.


Mayel, an 18-year-old woman whose parents emigrated from Afghanistan and a recent convert from Islam to Christianity, also was charged with failure to obey a police officer’s orders. She was approximately 100 feet away and videotaping a discussion with Muslims when her camera was seized, the law firm said.

“Contrary to the comments made by Police Chief Ron Haddad, our Constitution does not allow police to ban the right of free speech just because there are some hecklers. Not all police officers approve of the way their department treated these Christians,” said Thompson.

The Christian missionaries reported police told them they would have to be five blocks away from the festival to give away copies of the Gospel of John.

The law center also is representing Pastor George Saeig, who was prohibited by the festival and police authorities from distributing religious material at last year’s festival. That case is ongoing and a federal appeals court ruled prior to the 2010 event that handing out Christian literature in the proximity of the festival was allowed.

WND reported earlier that at least two people claim a crowd was cheering “Allahu Akbar!” while the Christians were led away in handcuffs for doing nothing more than engaging in peaceful dialogue and videotaping the event.

The Arab event was June 18 in Dearborn, where an estimated 30,000 of the city’s 98,000 residents are Muslim.

The American Arab Chamber of Commerce announced the event was expected to draw “over 300,000 people from across the country, Canada and the Middle East.” The festival covers 14 blocks and is free and open to the public.

All the Christian missionaries are from a Christian group called Acts 17 Apologetics.

Qureshi said people at the festival recognized his group from its visit in 2009. Last year, the Acts 17 Apologetics team was escorted from the grounds while being allegedly assaulted by security personnel and several attendees. The following is the group’s footage of the incident:


This year, Qureshi said some attendees who recognized them “would come up to us, accusing us, threatening us, saying we were racists, saying they were going to hurt us and yelling curses and insults at us.”

However, he said his group was able to engage in civil conversations with many people who initiated discussion. But then the group was arrested by local police. Each of the four are now free on bond.

“Paul, David, Negeen, and I went to the festival to see and comment on the situation,” Qureshi wrote on his blog. “Thankfully, we recorded every second of our activity at the festival.”

In Saieg’s case, WND reported, a federal appeals court granted an emergency motion allowing him to hand out information about his faith at the same festival.

A three-judge panel from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, citing the precedent that even a minimal loss of a fundamental right is irreparable, granted the motion requested by the Thomas More Law Center on behalf of the Sudanese Christian.

PUTTING WASHINGTON DC ON NOTICE…

PUTTING WASHINGTON DC ON NOTICE…

And any President, Senator, Congressman, or Judge who aren’t going to go along with the program had better start packing now; and don’t let the door hit you in the butt!!!


We the people of these United States, from all fifty states of the union, have just about had it with you people; and all of you potentate dictator wannabes in DC had better start packing your bags now!!!

This is still America, and though many of you bums, who have forgotten that fact, and have also failed to honor your oath of office to preserve, defend and protect our U.S Constitution, because obviously you have demonstrated by your actions that you have no honor, we are putting ALL of you on notice now that your days are numbered… and if I have my way, my vote will be to have all of you brought up on charges for treason, in that you have betrayed our country; you have betrayed our constitution, and you have also betrayed what we stand for as a nation, not to mention all the lives that were sacrificed to defend our Liberty!

I’m here to tell you that these good people who have died in defense of our liberty, and are defending it today, it is not so that the likes of you can trample our flag and betray our country!

As a Christian I have prayed for you, and I have prayed that you would do the right thing.

I also have prayed for God to either change your little pea picking hearts; or that He remove you from office… and it looks to me like the latter is what is about to happen!

So be it… and it can’t happen too soon, for my taste!

I guess that about says it… and if you ask me sometime, I’ll tell you how I really feel. 🙂

May God bless America, the land that I love…

Shalom,

Our battle plan starts with prayer…

“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to
help us in our time of need.”

Hebrews 4:16

With No Gulf Solution in Sight, Louisiana Turns to Prayer

Published June 20, 2010| FOXNews.com | AP Photo/Dave Martin

Oil from the leaking Deep Horizon oil rig is seen swirling through the currents in the Gulf of Mexico. Marine scientists fear that two powerful Gulf currents will carry the oil to other reefs: the eastward flowing loop current could spread the oil about 450 miles to the Florida Keys, while the Louisiana coastal current could move the oil as far west as central Texas.

State senators in Louisiana have designated Sunday as a day of prayer aimed at seeking an end to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster.

On Wednesday, Louisiana state Sen. Robert Adley won unanimous approval of the resolution, which invites people of all faiths from within the state and around the U.S. to focus on divine intervention to find a solution to the crisis.

“Thus far efforts made by mortals to try to solve the crisis have been to no avail,” CNN reported Adley saying in a statement released last week. “It is clearly time for a miracle for us.”

As oil continues to gush from the broken oil well and wash ashore in Louisiana and other Gulf states, citizens are furious that neither BP nor the Obama administration has been able to come up with a viable solution.

To date, more than 120 million gallons of crude oil have leaked into the Gulf.

The AP contributed to this story.

Prayer is where it all has to start for ALL of us… believing God for the miraculous in seemingly impossible situations!

That’s true in this situation; but it is equally true in our own personal lives.

Too bad most of the world apparently doesn’t believe that anymore; and I’m sad to say that is even true of much of the church today as well.

Of course many, if not most people today express some sort of belief in God, and some even associate themselves with some form of religion; but few have their belief system based in the full gospel, as it is taught and expressed in the full council of God’s Word.

Even the printing of this article, though it is right on in its message, when you consider its source (the AP news wire service) it’s almost like what we read happened with the Apostle Paul, where this certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination, and who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling, was following Paul and Silas around town announcing “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” Whereas everything she said was true, the reason it ticked Paul off was because this woman was being manipulated and used by Satan; and was only mocking them.

Well as I have said before, the news media in the United States is both owned and controlled by the Globalist International Bankers, of which the Rothschild’s Banking Dynasty is the head; and when J.P. Morgan (who was but a lieutenant of the Rothschild’s organization) founded the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) in 1921, the first thing he did was hire the top people in the media to work for him, and then proceeded to buy up 20% of the top media outlets in the U.S., all in order to control what they printed.


This same oligarchy, which resides in this Banking Cartel, is what controls the major networks today in our broadcast media as well, so that most of the news we get today is all filtered and managed, in order to promote the enemy’s cause and move us towards this “New World Order,” and it’s not for our benefit at all

Also you might want to note that even though the article talks about BP (British Petroleum) and is directed at them, the same organization that owns the AP wire service, as well as Reuter’s wires service also, I might add, owns BP as well.

Also please note that Rupert Murdoch, founder and head of Fox News is also a member of the CFR; so this is definitely a case of having the fox (no pun intended) watch the hen house; and it is also analogous to how professional wrestling is operated today, where the whole thing is staged and is but a show… where the outcome is always predetermined.

That is the state of our News Media today, and it has been this way ever since J.P. Morgan founded the CFR organization (back in 1921), all of which is but a front organization for the Rothschild’s Banking oligarchy.

Folks, we need not only to take back our country, we also need to take back our press too!

And we, as Christians, need to learn how to plug into our REAL power source, and model the life of Jesus, and the patterns He established for ministry, and not the modernized version that come out of Madison Avenue marketing strategies and techniques… in the “Seeker Friendly,” oriented churches of today.

Jesus by His own words did not come to compromise or make friends with evil, for you can’t make friends and strike an agreement with the Devil, as some have tried to do in the past, and are still doing today, even within the church; but rather Jesus said that He came to bring a sword.

Matthew 10:34-36

Christ Brings Division
34
Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.”

This is spiritual warfare, and it is fought with spiritual weapons!

It is very important that we learn this truth, and in our effort to regain our country, and retake this earth for our God, we must surely begin on our knees; but we must also cease trying to improve on the methodology established by Jesus and the Apostles, as we can read in the four Gospels and in the Book of Acts… because we cannot improve on perfection!

For us to attempt to do anything for God, without the Holy Spirit on our side, and without our absolute trust, reliance, and obedience to Him is absolutely futile. Selah

Which brings me back to a point I have made many times before, and that is we desperately need a Spiritual Awakening in this country, followed by a world shaking Revival… if we are ever to turn this mess around!

To that end, again I repeat… for all those who are called by His name and are Christians, let us watch and pray!

Shalom,

Skip Barland

Banking rip-off 101, a lesson in how the borrower is enslaved to the lender…

The Bible says for us to owe no man, except for the debt of love!

Proverbs 22:7 (The Message)
7 The poor are always ruled over by the rich, so don’t borrow and put yourself under their power.

The history of money and fractional reserve banking:



Who are the people behind the International Banking community, who also own our Federal Reserve Bank?



Learn how this all applies to you in your present mortgage and how banks are ripping you off:

LISTEN AND LEARN

Wisdom warns us to be prudent, and not be so quick to enter into a deal where we are unequally yoked; and nowhere today is that more true, or is there a better example of this, than what I have just shown you above, which mind you is common everyday practice in today’s banking industry.

Consider this:

U.S. Banks Refuse to Detail How they’re Spending Federal Bailout Money – After receiving hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded federal bailout money, the biggest U.S. banks say they can’t track how that money is being spent…(http://moneymorning.com/2009/01/06/us-banks-federal-bailout/)

Now mind you that this is money that your Government, under former President George W. Bush, gave away… saying just trust me.

As Jesus said, let us be wise as serpents and harmless as doves!

A very likely last day’s scenario, soon to take place in the Middle East and in the world…

What follows is a very interesting video with Grant Jeffrey, that I believe gives a very likely synopsis of the way I believe the last days events around Israel will unfold… and it all is happening right now, before our eyes!

Grant Jeffery | Israel’s Coming Strike on Iran’s Nukes

Psalm 2

The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom

1 Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans?

2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the Lord
and against his anointed one.

3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.”

4 But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoff at them. 5 Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury.

6 For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem,[a] on my holy mountain.”

7 The king proclaims the Lord’s decree: “The Lord said to me, ‘You are my son.[b]
Today I have become your Father.[c]

8 Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession.

9 You will break[d] them with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.'”

10 Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth!

11 Serve the Lord with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Submit to God’s royal son,[e] or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—

for his anger flares up in an instant.

But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

The madness that is in the world today is about to get a lot worst! The Bible says clearly (in verse 4) that God in heaven laughs and scoffs at the madness of the sons of men who actually think that they can fight a war against God and win!

At the of head of this band of nations is a very evil entity, a spiritual being that once ruled as a chief Archangel and anointed Cherubim, under God… and he is the maddest of all.

It has been through his cunningness and ability to operate stealthy, out of sight, and convince many people, even in the church of his nonexistence; and also to deceive enlist men to follow him, that Satan has been able to build his evil empire… all of which today is illegal!

Satan however does not have free reign in the earth to do as he pleases however; but as we can learn from the account given us in Job, he is as a dog on a leash, who can only go so far.

Not only that, but the Bible clearly says that this position, usurped by him in the Garden, as god of this world has been stripped from him, when Jesus (Heb-Yeshua) defeated him at Calvary.

The Son’s of God, who are the born-again band of believers in the world, they are rightly God’s chosen people to have dominion in the world; but that dominion comes only as we take the land by force that Satan now occupies.

It would appear that as a dog on a leash, Satan’s function is to train and challenge these Son’s of God, and to challenge and test the use of our free will.

This exactly what he did in the Garden with our original parents (Adam and Eve), where God placed them in a garden with two trees in it, one was the Tree of Life, which they were allowed to partake of; and the other was a tree of death, called the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

This latter tree was forbidden, and God told Adam that to eat from it would bring death.

God never tempted Eve or Adam to eat of this fruit, Satan did that, when he tempted Eve, and Adam followed; but the positioning of these two Trees and the Law governing their use, one allowed and the other forbidden, was to test the will of Adam and Eve, whether to submit fully and follow God, or to do their own thing, and go their own way… which is exactly the same sin that also lead to Satan’s downfall.

What I have just described here, in man’s tendency to go his own way and do his own thing, is exactly what the nature of sin is; and it is also the reason why God cannot tolerate it.

God demands totally loyalty from his us, but only by the free submission of our will to follow Him… He does not force it upon it upon anyone.

So now enters Satan into the picture to test the hearts of men, and to see where their true loyalty lies… whether to serve self, or God?

If you have been reading my blogs you have heard me talk a lot about the Globalist conspiracy or agenda that is seeking to rule and take over the world; whose power is centered in the money changers and money brokers of the world, who are the international bankers.

This evil cabala is occult oriented and is headed by the Rothschild’s Family Banking Dynasty; who have over many years used their immense power and wealth to undermine the free democratic governments of the world to influence and undermine governments; and they have also even enlisted the aid of active members of these various governments to serve their cause from the inside.

Many of these people were recruited and have been on board with this Globalist agenda ever since their college years, where they were originally compromised, and today are betraying the countries they have sworn an oath to serve.

You see, Satan understands well the value of corrupting the minds and hearts of the younger generation, and he has done that for years; even as you can see happened in Nazi Germany with the Brown Shirts youth group; and is today happening in our own country, here in America, as children in public schools all across our land today are being taught to sing praises and songs of dedication and loyalty to Obama.

Do you think I’m kidding? Well check out this clip and see for yourself, which ends with a video of the Hitler Brown Shirt youth movement doing the same exact thing.


Golly folk, you would think that with all of this history that I have just mention, that there would be mass uprisings and protests at what is happening in our country; that at the very least indicates that something very sinister and very wrong is going on in our government today; and yet it appears that much of American (even in the church) are absolutely blinded and numb to what is going on right before their eyes.

This malaise that has blinded the eyes of so many people to see the truth is one sure sign of the power this entity, this evil wanna be god, called the Devil, has to deceive; and I believe that even as Jesus was offered the nations of the world, if He would only bow down and worship this being called Satan; I believe that same offer was made to others, and that these Globalist Bankers, headed by this Rothschild’s Dynasty, have bought into Satan’s lie, and are the main instruments among men to implement this coming New World Order.

As I said, these people have over the years used their immense power and influence to destabilize and undermine the free democratic governments of the world, including right here in the United States, and have both enlisted and have corrupted even members of our own government leaders, past and present Presidents, and members of Congress, of people we elected to office to serve our interest; and also they have corrupted our media… and all for just one reason, and that is to serve their cause… which cause is the establishment of this “New World Order!”

Wake up America… and pray!

Shalom,

WHAT IS THE “RESTORE AMERICAN PLAN?”


HOW CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?

God Bless America

Please do continue to pray for our nation,

that this information gets out and that…

We can take back our country!

Take a look at the new name they chose for the New World Trade Center…

Pictured above is ground zero, at the construction site of the World Trade Center… Remember how I’ve talked before about the handwriting on the wall… well now you can see it literally!

Now in the video below the media tells you what they want you to believe; but I think certainly Satan is showing us his hand:


I just got this from my friend Kelby.

How much more proof do you need folks? I mean, I think this is pretty obvious!

Based on history, and how Satan has moved in the past, in pre-Nazi Germany and other places, I believe the plan will be to overload the American people with so much stress and problems, until there is mass civil unrest, frustration, and panic… and I believe all of this is part of Satan’s strategy.

Mismanaged or not, if things go according to Satan’s plans, I believe we can expect this administration to take advantage of all the increasing public unrest, as people are being pressed in on all sides by the economy, inflation, lack of jobs, and now we have this oil spill crisis in the Gulf, and it looks like that one may be getting a lot worse, before it gets better; and I also believe we can expect there will be a few more, possibly even more serious problems yet to come, that we don’t know about.

What I think is going on, this administration, on orders from his handlers, is just waiting for the public unrest to escalate to the point of panic, and civil unrest, just so that they can declare Marshall Law, just as they did in pre-Nazi Germany, and then our government will strip us of the rest of our Constitutional rights.

All that will prevent this from happening, in my honest opinion, is for us, who are called by His name, to pray that God will hear from heaven, and heal our land; and for that to happen we will need a mighty move of God, and a Spiritual Awakening, and also a Revival to boot!

God please forgive us of our obtuse stupidity, and our having drifted far from your ways and your laws… and for our having served other gods.

Hear our prayers, O Lord, and heal our land. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Shalom,


Skip Barland

Friends & Family,

As you may or may not know, I was in NY Sun – Wed this week on business; and, while I was there I took the opportunity to take another look at the clean up and reconstruction progress of Ground Zero, as I have done on numerous trips to NY over the past several years. Unfortunately, they have done a good job of preventing anyone from being able to see whats going on from a street level view (unlike my previous visits) and was unable to get a good look into the MASSIVE hole that was left after the destruction of the Twin Towers.

However, after exhausting myself walking around the entire Ground Zero construction site (in hopes to find at least a single point of view), I happened to notice this banner promoting what the City has named the “new” One World Trade Center, and is under construction now. As for those of us who read, have read, heard and know God’s Word—you’ll quickly realize the significance of the Revelation revealed in this picture. Prophecy of a one world government/system/currency is found in both the book of Daniel and Revelation.

So, in addition to this startling find, there was literally THOUSANDS of people walking hurriedly in all directions in front the banners location, making the possibility of capturing this photograph without at least a dozen or more people in it, nearly impossible. So, for me to have captured a clear photo, with only two people in it (one of which was an Orthodox Jew with his back to this Revelation), would be considered impossible without making the crowds of people stop and wait while I took the picture. And, I can assure you, it would have taken a police force to accomplish that, as there is/was no less then a couple thousand people walking a warp speed in either direction at this time of day.

Anyhow, I feel privileged to have witnessed this and thought I should share.

Just more proof that God’s word is alive and true!

Best Regards,

Two sources are now saying that what everyone has suspected is true… that Obama is a Muslim!


Well, it looks like what everyone has always suspected is true…


Two media reports are serving to fuel speculation about Barack Obama’s religious beliefs.

Since before he was elected, controversy has stirred over the extent of President Obama’s ties to Islam. During the campaign, he spoke openly of both his Muslim upbringing and his adult conversion to Christianity. But now two major Middle East media outlets — Nile TV International and Israel Today Magazine (see below)– are reporting that the president has admitted in recent months that he is a Muslim.

Those outlets say that Obama, in a one-on-one meeting earlier this year with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, told Gheit that he was still a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father, and the step-son of a Muslim step-father; that his half brothers in Kenya are Muslims; and that he was sympathetic towards the Muslim agenda.

Pamela Geller, publisher of AtlasShrugs.com and author of the new book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America, says this most recent comment by Obama has been ignored by the mainstream media and should be of great concern to U.S. citizens.

“[In] this latest report…Foreign Prime Minister Gheit on Nile Television…said that, in confidence, Obama told him that he was a Muslim,” says Geller, “and that after he straightened out domestic issues would show the Muslim world how to handle Israel.”

Geller also says that while this topic is nothing new, it is further evidence of Obama’s sympathetic tendencies towards those who mean harm to the U.S. and his intent to reshape America’s religious foundation.

“If you look at the man’s record, it’s shocking,” she laments. “[Especially] when you review how he declared an end to the — quote, unquote — ‘war on terror’…how he floated the idea that he would talk to the violent, genocidal Hamas, that he insisted and recruited for Muslims in his administration and created an actual new department that reported to Hillary Clinton for the Muslim ‘ummah’ [the whole Arab world].”

Geller goes on to say that Obama’s embrace of Islam shows his hatred toward Israel and effectively abandons the Holy Land, surrounded by its enemies, to fight its own battles.

We are in trouble today as nation, because we have strayed far from our Judaic/Christian values and roots!

I don’t at all blame Obama or anyone else in politics, who are outside of covenant relationship with God, and who don’t know God, for just doing what comes natural for ALL of us, in our flesh, and that is to look out of #1, and to blazes with everyone else!

After all, babies are born into this world every day singing “It’s all about me,” and so is it any wonder that our country is being run by men and women who never grew up, and never graduated beyond their childhood?

Of course what they are doing is self-serving; and they know the only way that they can get elected to office is by mirroring to the general public what they think we want to see and hear.

What we see today is exactly the result of what is termed situation ethics, where the ends justifies the means; and this is common not only in our government, at all levels; but also in our businesses and corporations too.

We the People need to repent, for having exchanged our faith in God for Mammon, and the lust for money and power.

We have a nation today where our politicians are motivated by hidden agendas, that are based on lies and deceit; and we have a country that is totally divided, that apparently has difficulty distinguish between right from wrong anymore… and so is it any wonder that we are in the mess we’re in?

This is what happens when the people have no moral compass; and who also admit openly that having good character and being honorable and trustworthy is no longer a prerequisite for being a politician… just as long as we have a healthy economy and are making money.

Well, as far as I can see our economy is in the toilet, and our unemployment rate has never been higher… so how is that going for us so far?

This lesson we learned from the Clinton Administration, and we are paying for it with Obama!

Now on this issue of whether or not Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim or not, the fruit he has exhibited all along, in his words, and his actions, as you can readily see in the above video, have demonstrated nothing else… it’s just that the people didn’t want to see it.

The problem we have in American today are the people who voted for Obama, and all those who are like him, into office; and what we see happening today in both our government and our economy is the result of the caliber of people we have chosen to lead our country.

Once again, I want to remind you that according to Islamic faith and ethics, lying is perfectly okay just as long as you are lying to your enemy, to their hurt and to your advantage.

These ethics have been demonstrated in every peace treaty with Israel, in that the Islamic Palestinians have broken their word and treaty every single time.

What America needs is a TOTAL housecleaning in Washington DC (aka The District of Columbia), and that is in both Houses of Congress, and in the White House!

For that matter, as far as I’m concerned, we could just build a fence around the entire Capitol, District of Columbia and all, and give it over to the International Bankers, since that is the only physical property that they have their lien on; and we can just open shop somewhere else, and elect honest men and women this time.

All of this just points out the absolute necessity and importance that the Church is doing her job, as commissioned by our Lord, in not only preaching the Gospel and discipling people; but also it is just as important that we make sure that we are correctly passing the baton on to the next generation, so that we don’t have these sorts of problems every few generations.

The current lot of politicians that we have, for the most part, are all evidence of how far we as a nation have strayed away from God; and the only solution that will save our nation is for us to turn around, as individuals and as nation, and repent.

Pray for America!

Shalom,

Skip Barland

Obama, a ‘Strategic Catastrophe’
Israeli officials say it’s not Iran that is Israel’s greatest threat | Aviel Schneider

Although Israeli officials publicly play down the crisis in relations between Jerusalem and Washington, privately the language is much different. Sources close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu describe Obama as a “strategic catastrophe” for Israel.

Officials in the Prime Minister’s Office, speaking on condition of anonymity to the nation’s top newspapers, see the Obama administration as a serious threat to the future of the State of Israel. On the record, Israel and the US have a “strategic partnership that is unbreakable”; off the record, the terminology is blunt to say the least.

“President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have drawn a clear line, supporting the Palestinian position at the expense of Israel,” said one Netanyahu confidant. “It is insane, it is sick. Relations between Jerusalem and Washington are simply disastrous; the situation has never been so dangerous. This US President wants to establish a Palestinian state at any price and hand them Jerusalem on a silver platter.”

Netanyahu has repeatedly distanced himself from such statements, but commentators say the government speaks with a forked tongue. “Israel’s relations with the US are at a low point, and Obama poses a danger to Israel,” wrote Nahum Barnea in the nation’s biggest newspaper Yediot Ahronot.

The feeling among the Israeli public is that Obama is appeasing the Muslim world at the expense of Israel.

“The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim,” said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Nile TV.

That could explain why Obama has instructed that the term “Islamic extremism” no longer be used in official government documents and statements.

Furthermore, the US is now accusing Israel of harming American interests in the Middle East. General David Petraeus, the head of US Central Command, said Israel’s intransigence on resolving the conflict with the Palestinians is endangering US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Even the US Congress considers Obama’s behavior toward Netanyahu humiliating. Three-quarters of the House of Representatives, 337 of 435 members, signed a bipartisan letter to Clinton expressing “deep concern over recent tension” between the two countries, and demanding that it be smoothed over quickly and in private.

“Obama is a real problem for Israel,” a senior official told told Yediot. “He is Israel’s biggest strategic catastrophe.”

The newspaper also quoted another official who believes that for the first time Washington has switched sides. “The Obama White House is putting pressure only on Israel but does not expect anything from the Palestinians,” he said. “These American demands are unacceptable.”

“The Americans know very well that Israeli construction has always been happening in East Jerusalem and building in Jewish neighborhoods has never been frozen,” said another official. “The Americans use excuses like [the Jewish neighborhood of] Ramat Shlomo and the Shepherd Hotel [another Jewish building project in East Jerusalem] to confront Netanyahu.”

So during Passover, Netanyahu invited Nobel Prize-winning author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel to his private residence in Caesaria. He urged Wiesel, who is an American citizen, to make it clear to his good friend Obama how important Jerusalem is to the Jewish people.

“Jerusalem was, is and always will be the united capital of Israel,” said Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat. “Construction in all parts of Jerusalem will continue.”

According to a poll by the Independent Media Review & Analysis, 70 percent of Israeli Jews oppose a construction freeze in East Jerusalem, compared to only 19 percent who support it. The survey also found that 69 percent believe the division of Jerusalem with international control of the Old City would lead to ongoing conflict rather than peace.

Officials in Netanyahu’s inner circle believe Obama’s strategy is to force a change of government in Israel. By forcing Israeli concessions on the “settlement” issue, hawks could bolt the coalition, pushing Netanyahu into an alliance with the dovish Kadima party. Kadima is led by former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who, under the previous Olmert government, offered the Palestinians an independent state in 97 percent of the disputed territories with a capital in East Jerusalem.

Obama has been buoyed by his domestic success in passing the historic health care reform bill. And he may believe that he can extend that victory to the international arena by resolving the Middle East conflict. But if Obama continues to underestimate Israeli resolve on Jerusalem, his peace efforts are doomed to failure.

I am Israel

(Documentary Film HD Version)


I am Israel:

I was born millennia before I was renamed Palestine by the conquering Romans, and before the British decided to turn my Eastern lands into Jordan, My people, the Jews, maintained communities here for three thousand years, that is until the Arabs decided to massacre those Jews in 1920 (Nabi musa riots) and 1929 (Hebron massacre).

Hundreds of civilians were murdered, most of them women and children. Meanwhile, their brother Arab states exiled 1,000,000 Arabic Jews, Erasing their History.

I Am Israel – I’ve been attacked four times by five Arab armies in 60 years. I am a survivor; I won every war they waged against me.

I told the Arabs who lived on my land that they were welcome to stay, but their brothers said, “leave temporarily while the Jews are taken care of”.

I have been offering a message of peace since the day I was born; but my enemies answered only in bombs, bullets and blood – our own, and theirs.

Realizing they could not defeat me with arms, my enemies turned to lies. Pallywood Production.

I Am Israel – time and time again my name is smeared. Though like the Muhammad Al-Dura hoax, each lie is eventually disproven.

My enemies continue to claim that I am committing “genocide”.

Tell me, is giving educational opportunities to Palestinian Arabs “genocide”?

20% of the students in Haifa University are Arabs. If I exiled all the Arabs in 1948, why are 20% of my citizens Arabs who vote?

Why did I give up the entire Sinai and the Gaza strip, uprooting my own people from their home, only for the HOPE of peace?

I Am Israel – In combat ops, I risk the lives of my teenagers to minimize civilian casualties.

I make every attempt to target only fighters, often putting my soldiers in harm.

In war, I drop leaflets on areas to be attacked, warning civilians to evacuate – Has any other army in the history of mankind done this for its enemy?

I waited 8 years to stop Hamas from its daily rocket attacks, some fell on my kindergartens, I am patient, but my patience is not infinite.

I Am Israel – I discover new medicines to treat devastating diseases.

I’ve developed technology for the creation of Intel, anti-virus, and cell phones. And I lead the world in scientific publications per capita.

I send humanitarian missions to developing countries, including Muslim countries. I have absorbed hundreds of Muslim refugees who faced genocide in Darfur – refugees no Muslim state would take.

I Am Israel – one of the smallest countries in the world, and probably the most stubborn – I refuse to give up hope for peace.

My friends support me not because of any lobby, but because they see the truth, I am the heart of the Middle East, and the hope for its future.

My prophet said, “Nation shall not lift up sword against nation”, and I will try…

And try…

And try, until those words are true.

Because, I Am Israel
