Christianity is NOT a religion…

image

Jesus most definitely did not come to start another religion…

Religion, by definition, is what man does to try to earn favor with God; while Christianity is something which the Bible says CANNOT be earned:

“For by grace (unmerited favor) you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Eph 2:8-9)

The gospel message is God’s offer to have our sins forgiven and to be reconciled back into His family.

This happens, not because of anything we do to earn it; but it happens because of God’s love for us (John 3:16).

Listen to this first message that Jesus gave to a synagogue congregation, when He first started His ministry, here on earth:

Luke 4:18-21

Jesus speaking:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down.

And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

Jesus also said of His mission here on earth:

John 10:1-18
The Voice (VOICE)

[Backstory: The Pharisees are frequently around to challenge whatever Jesus says and does, but He always gets the better of them.

Once again, Jesus turns what the Pharisees say inside out.

They think blindness is a curse that evidences sin, and they think vision ensures knowledge and understanding—even concerning spiritual matters.

Instead, the Pharisees’ confidence in their vision and discernment make them unable to see the truth about Jesus.

Ironically, they have blind trust in their sighted leaders; and by refusing to believe in Jesus, they are the sinners—not the blind man.]

1 Jesus speaking: I tell you the truth: the man who crawls through the fence of the sheep pen, rather than walking through the gate, is a thief or a vandal.

2 The shepherd walks openly through the entrance. 3 The guard who is posted to protect the sheep opens the gate for the shepherd, and the sheep hear his voice.

He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4 When all the sheep have been gathered, he walks on ahead of them; and they follow him because they know his voice.

5 The sheep would not be willing to follow a stranger; they run because they do not know the voice of a stranger.

6 Jesus explained a profound truth through this metaphor, but they did not understand His teaching.

7 So He explained further.

Jesus: I tell you the truth: I am the gate of the sheep. 8 All who approached the sheep before Me came as thieves and robbers, and the sheep did not listen to their voices.

9 I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be liberated, will go in and go out, and will find pastures.

10 The thief approaches with malicious intent, looking to steal, slaughter, and destroy; I came to give life with joy and abundance!

11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep in His care.

12 The hired hand is not like the shepherd caring for His own sheep.

When a wolf attacks, snatching and scattering the sheep, he runs for his life, leaving them defenseless.

13 The hired hand runs because he works only for wages and does not care for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd; I know My sheep, and My sheep know Me.

15 As the Father knows Me, I know the Father; I will give My life for the sheep.

16 There are many more sheep than you can see here, and I will bring them as well.

They will hear My voice, and the flock will be united. One flock. One shepherd.

17 The Father loves Me because I am willing to lay down My life—but I will take it up again.

18 My life cannot be taken away by anybody else; I am giving it of My own free will.

My authority allows Me to give My life and to take it again. All this has been commanded by My Father.

[Note: Jesus loves to explain truth through everyday things like vines, fruit, fishing, building, and shepherding, as He does here.

He is a master communicator. In this metaphor, Jesus is the shepherd.

Eventually He becomes the sheep as well. On the cross, He is destined to become the innocent sacrifice that makes all future sin sacrifices and burnt offerings unnecessary.]

“I had a debt I could not pay,

He paid the debt He did not owe,

I needed someone,
To wash my sins away.

And now I sing a brand new song,
“Amazing grace” all day long,
Christ Jesus paid the debt,
That I could never pay.”

Does any of this sound like a religion to you?

The way to be right with God, according to every religion is by earning your way.

It is based on works, not grace.

Christianity, on the other hand, is different from every religion in this one respect: ALL other religions in the world (including Mormonism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism) state that you MUST EARN the right to be reconciled with God, through your “good works.”

For them you are measured and rated by what you do in this life (by your good deeds or bad deeds), and this is what determines your eternal destiny.

Christianity, on the other hand, is completely different from this; and it is NOT a religion at all!

“The difference between Christianity and every other faith in the world is that all religions are about man trying to reach up to God; whereas Christianity is about God reaching down to man.”

From Reinhart Bonnke’s official page:

Jesus did not found a religion, a way to God. He is ‘the way the truth the life’.

Apart from baptism and the Lord’s Supper, He imposed no observances, no rituals, nothing that normally constitutes a religion.

To compare the Christian faith with any others is a very unequal undertaking, like comparing fish and fowl.

Jesus simply set things going in the world, and in peoples’ hearts, something like a river of new energy.

You can’t call a river ‘a religion’. Christ does not impart  ‘religious experience’ in the popular sense, as when sightseers creep in awe round a cathedral full of shrines to the dead, or are affected by high ritual.

If anybody thinks Christ’s presence has the same effect as stained glass and ‘the dim religious light’ their ignorance is not bliss.

Jesus talked to a woman in Samaria drawing well water, and promised her ‘water springing up into everlasting life’.

Well water was flat. Fish can’t live in wells.

Living water, cascading in white foam over a rock fall, is full of oxygen.

It seems to me that so much pleasure on offer today is second hand, stale, bottled, canned, or stored stuff like old movies, television full of repeats.

People can’t live on a diet of film.

Jesus does not bore us with the same old thing, with routine church performances.

There’s a creativeness in it all – the Spirit of God is moving, not static.

We don’t come to church for the religious atmosphere, but for the heavenly winds to stir us.

That sort of service ruffles some people – wind and fresh air does also, but is a very healthy thing.

This is food for thought. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE

Joy and peace of the Lord is our strength…

image

God’s supernatural power, joy and His Shalom (peace) is what enables us to endure and to live this Christian life, the way that it was intended by God to be lived…

John 14:27; 16:33
14 Jesus speaking: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you; not as the world gives, give I unto you.”

16 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace.

In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid!”

Please note that these are not just polite suggestions, but they are commands from on high, from the Master Himself, that we are NOT to let our hearts be troubled or afraid, and that we are to be anxious for NOTHING (Php 4:6)!

These are things you don’t learn just by reading a book, not even by reading the Bible; but they have to be experienced.

Having head knowledge about God’s Word, having memorized Scripture, alone by itself, does not replace the need for experiencing the reality and power of the Scriptures being activated in our life, as we step out upon them in faith!

In order for us to do this it requires that we cast the TOTAL of our life and also our life circumstances – including the present trial or storm that you’re having to endure – completely and totally upon God’s Word; it means that we trust the Lord with ALL of our heart and that we lean NOT upon our own understand (Prov 3:5)!

This requires much more than just having head knowledge and our giving intellectual accent to hIstoric facts and spiritual truths; rather in order for us to experience these things, it will require an absolute and complete paradigm shift in the way we live our lives!

Graham Cooke

Joy puts you out in advance of something, whereas negativity puts you behind something.

You see, joy is a lens. Jesus said,

“My peace I give you, not as the world gives,”

and He talked about peace as being something that could help you to overcome.

Anxiety puts you under something, but peace always lifts you above it.

What time I am afraid I will trust…

We can’t always see where the road leads up ahead, and often in life our path is fraught with peril and difficult circumstances, but God’s promise to all those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (see Romans 8:28) is to enter into EVERY one of those circumstances (whether good, bad, or indifferent) and working it together for our good.

Just know that every cloud has a silver lining, and even though it often seems darkest before the dawn, God’s presence with us through the storm is assured; His promises are true, and as we learn to step out in obedient faith upon those promises we can be assured that there is something better for us up ahead!

“And Jesus said to him, ‘If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing.”
Mark 9:23

This is a fact of life, for every believer, that your trials come not to defeat you, but to make you strong and to teach you to rest both yourself and your circumstances in God’s hands!

So whatever you’re facing today, you can trust Him that He will see you through.

Streams in the Desert, with
Mrs. Charles Cowman

Streams in the Desert –
November 15, 2014

For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, regarding the affliction that
happened to us in the province of Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of living.
(2 Cor 1:8)

But he said to me, “My grace is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” So then, I will boast most gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in me.
(2 Cor 12:9)

God allowed the crisis to close around Jacob on the night when he bowed at Peniel in supplication, to bring him to the place where he could take hold of God as he never would have done; and from that narrow pass of peril, Jacob became enlarged in his faith and knowledge of God, and in the power of a new and victorious life.

God had to compel David, by a long and painful discipline of years, to learn the almighty power and faithfulness of his God, and grow up into the established principles of faith and godliness, which were indispensable for his glorious career as the king of Israel.

Nothing but the extremities in which Paul was constantly placed could ever have taught him, and taught the Church through him, the full meaning of the great promise he so learned to claim, “My grace is sufficient for thee.”

And nothing but our trials and perils would ever have led some of us to know Him as we do, to trust Him as we have, and to draw from Him the measures of grace which our very extremities made indispensable.

Difficulties and obstacles are God’s challenges to faith. When hindrances confront us in the path of duty, we are to recognize them as vessels for faith to fill with the fullness and all-sufficiency of Jesus; and as we go forward, simply and fully trusting Him, we may be tested, we may have to wait and let patience have her perfect work; but we shall surely find at last the stone rolled away, and the Lord waiting to render unto us double for our time of testing.

Don’t Serve the Problem!

Which-Direction-Do-I-Turn.jpg

Which way do I go???

The thought often occurs to me about how much the difficulties, trials, tribulations, and challenges which we ALL face, in this pilgrimage we call our life, is like a maze.

It is a maze where we are constantly required to make numerous choices and decisions

everyday that affect our future
, and we can know from the Bible that one of the most important things (from God’s point of view in all of this)

is our own attitude and how we react to all
the

uncertainties and trials in our
life.

I think this advice which you are about to read in this devotion will give us ALL some some very important rules of engagement in how God intends for us to react when under pressure.

—-Forwarded Message—-

Don’t Serve the Problem
Kenneth Copeland

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him. -Isaiah 55:7

You can’t win a victory as long as the problem is the biggest thing in your life!

The Lord woke me up to that fact a few years ago. At that time I was facing some difficulties in my ministry that seemed so big to me, I thought about them from morning till night. Even though I was standing against them, I was thinking more about those problems than about the scripture promises I was standing on.

Then I saw something in Matthew 6:24-25:

"Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life."

I’d read that scripture hundreds of times, but that day I saw something I’d never noticed before. I saw that immediately after Jesus said, "No man can serve two masters," He said, "Take no thought." Suddenly it hit me:

We serve our thoughts!

That’s why Isaiah 55 says for us to forsake our thoughts, and by the Word, take God’s thoughts.

That’s why 2 Corinthians 10:5 says to cast out thoughts that challenge the Word and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Do you want deliverance from your problems today?

Then quit serving them! Quit allowing them to consume your thought life. And don’t wait until circumstances change to do it.

Instead, realize that circumstances won’t ever change until you switch from wrong to right thinking.

I know that’s not easy to do, especially in the midst of heavy darkness and trial. But you can do it if you’ll do these three things:

First, remember you aren’t alone. You have the Word (God’s thoughts). You have the Holy Spirit to strengthen you and you have the mind of Christ.

Second, get around people who are full of faith. Instead of rehearsing your problem, let them do the talking. Make yourself listen. Join in with their faith and resist darkness.

Third, praise God. Do whatever it takes to make yourself praise. When you begin to praise, God’s presence will turn back those worried thoughts and make them fall!

Your problems are not the biggest thing in your life. Jesus is. Serve Him with your thoughts and He will set you free!

The Enemy Within…

May God help the American people to wake up…

Let’s be very clear about one thing, the real criminals and traitors are not just these Democrats pictured above, but they also includes many Republicans too, including past presidents and past and present Congressmen and Supreme Court Justices, who have sold our country out in favor of this “New World Order,” who either have or are presently holding office at the top of this illegal and unconstitutional de facto Corporate Pyramid, called the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC., which is a Delaware Corporation – File No. 2193946!

In this interview with filmmaker and alternative media activist Alex Jones speaks about the Edward Snowden case, the death of journalist Michael Hastings, the recent Bilderberg meeting, and related topics.

The recently deceased (and possibly murdered) reporter Michael Hastings told a friend just days before his fatal accident that he was working on “the biggest story yet” about the CIA.

Alex Jones suggested that foul play such as a car bomb might have been involved, as witnesses saw the car blowing up before it went off the road and hit a tree.

There has also been speculation that his accident could have been a kind of cyber attack into the computer system on Hastings’ car.

In Hastings’ last interview he said that the government had declared war on the press, and we’re going into tyranny, Jones recounted.

Edward Snowden’s revelations about NSA spying apparatus are not treasonous, Jones declared. The 4th amendment calls for people to be secure in their person, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures– it is treason to violate the Bill of Rights, he added. What do you think about Snowden? Take the C2C Insta-Poll. Jones noted that press coverage has steadily increased over the years of the annual Bilderberg meeting (this year held in Watford, UK), casting a light on their secretive proceedings, and the British Prime Minister arrived publicly for the first time. The idea that world leaders are meeting in secret, and setting policy was criticized in Parliament a week after the conference, he added.

These people, all of them on both sides of the political aisle who have each sworn an oath to preserve, protect, and to defend our U.S. Constitution are the very terrorists, the enemy within, that we have most to fear, for if they are allowed to continue in their wicked agenda to usurp and to completely destroy our Constitutional Republic then this will mean that this grand experiment called the Republic for the united states of America will be lost forever!!!

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

        ~Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer, and orator

With every passing day, here in the former land of the free and home of the brave, and with each day’s passing news cycle, it is becoming increasingly clear, at least for the Christians in America today, that this world system is definitely not our home; and what’s worst this greedy, money hungry evil oligarchy, these Globalist Banksters, who have designs on taking over the entire world, and the many mega corporate entities and the corrupt military complex that has over the years grown up around them, all of them have done EXACTLY what our founding fathers and others in history have warned us against, that we should never relinquish control of our internal banking and monetary policies over to private bankers!

Every American would do well to study history and read some of the many quotes made by our founding fathers and of others in history, who have warned us to guard the very liberties that are today in the cross hairs of this de facto U.S. Corporation!

PRESIDENTS

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their  currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of  all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. ~ Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank Bill (1809)

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.” – Thomas Jefferson

… The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating. –Thomas Jefferson

History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by  controlling money and its issuance. –James Madison 

If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was  given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.

~Andrew Jackson

The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and  credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of  consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.

~Abraham  Lincoln

Issue of currency should be lodged with the government and be protected from domination by Wall Street. We are opposed to…provisions [which] would place our currency and credit system in private hands. ~Theodore Roosevelt

Despite these warnings, Woodrow Wilson signed the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. A few years later he wrote: “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of  credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most  completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a  Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”

~Woodrow  Wilson

Years later, reflecting on the major banks’ control in Washington, President Franklin Roosevelt paid this indirect praise to his distant predecessor President Andrew Jackson, who had “killed” the 2nd Bank of the US (an earlier type of the Federal Reserve System).

After Jackson’s administration the bankers’ influence was gradually restored and increased, culminating in the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Roosevelt knew this history.

“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson…”

~Franklin D. Roosevelt 
(in a letter to Colonel House, dated November 21, 1933)

POLITICIANS

When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes… Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” ~ Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France, 1815

“The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots and the bankers went anew to grab the riches. I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America and use it to systematically corrupt civilization.”

~Otto von Bismark (1815-1898), German Chancellor, after the Lincoln assassination

“Money plays the largest part in determining the course of history.

” Karl Marx writing in the Communist Manifesto (1848).

“That this House considers that the continued issue of all the means of exchange – be they coin, bank-notes or credit, largely passed on by cheques – by private firms as an interest-bearing debt against the public should cease forthwith; that the Sovereign power and duty of issuing money in all forms should be returned to the Crown, then to be put into circulation free of all debt and interest obligations… ~” Captain Henry Kerby MP, in an Early Day Motion tabled in 1964.

“Banks lend by creating credit. They create the means of payment out of nothing.”  ~Ralph M Hawtry, former Secretary to the Treasury.

“… our whole monetary system is dishonest, as it is debt-based… We did not vote for it. It grew upon us gradually but markedly since 1971 when the commodity-based system was abandoned.”  ~The Earl of Caithness, in a speech to the House of Lords, 1997.

BANKERS

“The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.” ~William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England in 1694, then a privately owned bank

“Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.”  ~Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild.

“The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.”  ~The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.

“I am afraid the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create money. And they who control the credit of the nation direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hand the destiny of the people.” ~Reginald McKenna, as Chairman of the Midland Bank, addressing stockholders in 1924.

“The banks do create money. They have been doing it for a long time, but they didn’t realise it, and they did not admit it. Very few did. You will find it in all sorts of documents, financial textbooks, etc. But in the intervening years, and we must be perfectly frank about these things, there has been a development of thought, until today I doubt very much whether you would get many prominent bankers to attempt to deny that banks create it.”  ~H W White, Chairman of the Associated Banks of New Zealand, to the New Zealand Monetary Commission, 1955.

OTHERS

“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and slave.” ~Tolstoy, Russian writer.

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and money system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” ~Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company.

“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency.”  ~Major L L B Angus.

“The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent.”  ~John Kenneth Galbraith (1908- ), the former professor of economics at Harvard, writing in ‘Money: Whence it came, where it went’ (1975).

As Nicolas Trist – secretary to President Andrew Jackson – said about the incredibly powerful privately owned Second Bank of the United States, “Independently of its misdeeds, the mere power, — the bare existence of such a power, — is a thing irreconcilable with the nature and spirit of our institutions.”  ~(Schlesinger, The Age of Jackson, p.102)

“Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety.” ~Benjamin Franklin

“… God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive.

If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty…. And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

~Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 (C.J. Boyd, Ed., 1950)
 

“If we wish to be free, if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending, if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained _ we must fight!”  ~Patrick Henry

“(T)he foundation of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality; …the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained…

~” George Washington, First Inaugural, April 30 1789
 

“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

~John Adams

“Political interest [can] never be separated in the long run from moral right”

“Can the liberties of a nation be sure when we remove their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people, that these liberties are a gift from God?  ~Thomas Jefferson

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.”  ~Patrick Henry

“The citizens of the U.S. are responsible for the greatest trust ever confided to a political society”

“We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government.” ~James Madison

“Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.”  ~Thomas Jefferson

“Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” ~George Washington

“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves.”

~William Pitt in the House of Commons November 18, 1783

“We must all hang together, or, assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

~Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.

This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity.

~Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address

Don’t Get in a Hurry…

Don’t Get in a Hurry…

because with God timing is everything! 

 by Skip Barland

We must remember that as Christians, at the time of our rebirth, we each were admitted into the School of the Holy Spirit; and this path (this pilgrimage) that we now have entered into is not an event, but rather it is a process.

We must learn both patience and perseverance on this path, and most importantly we must learn to walk by faith and not by what we see and feel.

As Christians we have entered into an entirely new paradigm (a new way of thinking and living).

In God’s Kingdom we are to put on the mind of Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to begin to rewrite the corrupt code (programming) of this world, which we ALL have been trained under, and replace this old corrupt and obsolete programming with that of the Holy Spirit.

All of this takes time and even though it may not be happening as fast as we would like, nevertheless the promise of God (in Phi 1:6) is that He will compete the work which He has begun.

Just don’t be discouraged when things seem to be happening slower than you like, because the fact is if God were to move us along as fast as we would like it would probably destroy us.

It’s God’s timing and God’s process that is being implemented in our lives, and we must remember that we are but one building block in this Church He is building, and that there are many other building blocks, besides us, that God is fitting together.

However the faster we are conforming in obedience to His Word and are pressing forward in faith, the faster we will start seeing the results we want to see; and all of this will require us learning to let go and let God in our lives.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt…talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. …and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

Deuteronomy 6:6-8

One of the reasons Gloria and I have seen the results we have in our lives and in our ministry is because when we realized what the Word of God would do, we literally immersed ourselves in it. We turned off the radio and television, we put down the newspaper, and spent nearly every waking moment of the time available either reading the Word, listening to tapes on the Word, or thinking about the Word.All that time in the Word eventually had a powerful effect on us. It began to revolutionize everything about us. It began to turn failure into success.

All that didn’t happen overnight, however. It took time. A great many believers don’t realize that. They start out devoting themselves to the Word, but they make the mistake of expecting instant, miraculous results, and when they don’t see them, they get disappointed and fall away.

Don’t do that. Be patient. Give the Word time to do its work.

Jesus once said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4).

The Word of God feeds the spirit man just as bread feeds the body. Food has to be built into your body.

The vitamins and minerals it contains have a cumulative effect on it, don’t they? In fact, almost anything that affects your body instantaneously is considered dangerous.

Much the same thing is true with the Word of God. It has a cumulative effect. Yes, at times God will act instantly and perform a miracle, but only to get things back on track.

What He really intends is for you to feed on His Word to grow in strength and in faith and to bear fruit in due season.

So don’t get in such an all-fired hurry. Stay in the Word. Be patient. The results will come!

 So enjoy this adventure called the rest of your life and have a wonderful day!

Just what is the endgame behind this Washington D.C. Corporation?

The Stealing of AmericaThis is the Endgame… A New World Order!!!

The first question we need to ask is, who are the “Puppet Masters” who are pulling the strings of this de facto Washington D. C. Corporation?

Certainly it should be obvious to everyone by now that these people in Washington D. C., are NOT working for the best interest of the American people! 

To answer that question as to who our politicians are working for, I direct you attention to the following historic event; that pursuant to the passage of the Act of 1871, when both our Constitution and our Republic were put into mothballs.

Our nation’s government which had up until that time operated as a Constitutional Republic, in 1871 with the passage of this Act, our Republic became the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC; and subsequent to that, so have many of the various departments that have been formed under it.

What’s the proof of this you ask?

To begin with, what I’m about to say will most likely have meaning only to those of us who are Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and are students of the Bible.

The fact is, for those of us who have been around the Bible long enough, we have become somewhat acquainted with ole Slew Foot the Turkey–aka Satan’s devices, and subsequently we have found that this clown just loves (out of his enormous twisted and perverted ego) to show off his control and often he will reveal his agenda by hiding it in plain sight for all to view.

Well that is exactly what he has done here, because all of this information is a part of the public record that is available to anyone who has a mind to look, the problem is most Americans don’t bother.

Anyway you want evidence that what I’m saying is true, well here it is.

The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION and many of its subsidiaries are in fact registered in the state of Delaware.

 (Note: Look at #1 at the end of the paragraph it states “click here for status on the web.” From there, at the end of the first paragraph “receive a status inquiry on line, CLICK HERE.” That takes you to ‘General Information Name Search.’)

What this means is, as ‘citizens’ of (the all caps) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC we are ALL assets of the corporation, or we are their worker bees if you will.

Every corporation is structured the same way, the power flows from the top down, and this Washington D. C. Corporation is no different.

That’s very different from the system that was left us by our founding fathers, which we had prior to 1871, under our Constitutional Republic, which by the way has remained in mothballs ever since!

This quote that was once made by Roosevelt now has an entirely different meaning:

 “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter written Nov. 21, 1933 to Colonel E. Mandell House

The question is, who are the shareholders?  Who are the ones who profit – for example – from the ‘private, for-profit, corporate CIA’ or the ‘private, for-profit, corporate IRS’ or the ‘private, for-profit Social Security?’

Who is on the board of directors of ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC.’

It is my firm belief that the same families who sit on the Board of Directors, and both own and control the Federal Reserve Corporation, are the ones who control it all, and profit from it all, at our expense, as is illustrated in the following graph.

011313_0717_WakeupAmeri2.png

It doesn’t matter whose in office, whether Democrat or Republican it makes no difference, the same oligarchy controls them both!

It’s too bad we didn’t pay attention to the warnings left to us by our founding fathers:

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” – Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank Bill (1809)

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.” – Thomas Jefferson

“The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating.”Thomas Jefferson

“History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by  controlling money and its issuance.”James Madison

“If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was  given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.”Andrew Jackson

“The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and  credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of  consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.”Abraham  Lincoln

 “Issue of currency should be lodged with the government and be protected from domination by Wall Street. We are opposed to…provisions [which] would place our currency and credit system in private hands.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Despite all of these warnings, Woodrow Wilson, the one who signed the 1913 Federal Reserve Act into law, a few years later wrote the following:  

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of  credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most  completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a  Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Woodrow  Wilson

So who are these Banksters who have corrupted most every part of our government and our media, and have been ripping the American people off for the last 140 years?

It’s a small group of families, but they literally own all the money in the world, and they have used all of that power and money to corrupt not only our government and our media, but they have done the same thing all over the world!

The American News Media are nothing more than the propaganda mouthpiece for the Corporation. Have you ever wondered why America has such a bad reputation in many parts of the world, well here’s the reason why, and the reason you are ignorant of it all is  because the media only tells you what these clowns, these Banksters, want you to know.

Here is the source of our problems:

1) The Rothschild Family – London

2) The Rothschild Family – Berlin

3) The Lazard Brothers – Paris

4) Israel Seiff – Italy

5) Kuhn-Loeb Company – Germany

6) The Warburgs – Amsterdam

7) The Warburgs – Hamburg

8 ) Lehman Brothers – New York

9) Goldman & Sachs – New York

10) The Rockefeller Family – New York

Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild, one of the founders of the Rothschild’s dynasty was the first to lay out the means by which they plan to achieve their Globalist agenda;

“I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire, … The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire. And I control the money supply.” — Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild, London financier

Another one of the Rothschilds, a London Banker, once wrote a letter that I believe also explains their agenda:  

“It (Central Bank ) gives the National Bank almost complete control of national finance. The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class… The great body of the people, mentally incapable of comprehending, will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical (contrary) to their interests.” [The bankers created the legislation for the FED]

Regardless of whose in office under this corrupt system, whether Democrat or Republican, it matters not because the same board of directors who sits over the corporation and their shareholders are still the ones who both own and run the whole country – and that is just as it is in any other corporation.

Have you ever wondered why those who stand up and fight the IRS are not allowed to bring up their Constitutional Rights in a tax court?

Did you know that? Well it’s true, they will NOT let you do it.

The reason is our Constitutional Rights do not apply in an equity court.

Contract law supersedes individual and Constitutional Rights.

Corporate law is a totally different animal from common law, and we here in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC, have been operating under Corporate Law for the last 140 years. Ask any corporate attorney whether this is true.

Through our signing of adhesion contracts, like birth certificates, social security cards, marriage licenses, driver’s licenses, and the like, we have ALL inadvertently signed over our Constitutional Rights, and have submitted ourselves and our families to the CORPORATION!

For instance when you applied for a checking account (at a Federal Reserve corporation bank – look at your signature card, it states you will comply with all rulings from the Secretary of the Treasury).

When you applied for a Social Security Card you are in effect agreeing that your sweat equity is to be the collateral for the national debt, ergo you are an I are the worker bees that keeps the system going, by paying our taxes into the pockets of  these same Banksters.

But you’re probably saying that can’t be true, because our tax dollars, which are collected every year as a Federal Income Tax, are what’s runs our government.  Is that right?

Did you ever hear of the Grace Report that was commission by former President Ronald Reagan in 1982?

Well this is what they found as a result of their investigation:

“100% of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal Debt … all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services taxpayers expect from government.”
-Grace Commission report submitted to President Ronald Reagan – January 15, 1984

As it happened, Ronald Reagan was promptly shot after he dared to criticize the Federal Reserve, which by the way happened on the same day that the Pope was shot.

After recovering, President Reagan changed his mind about fighting against the FED.

History shows that there have been seven US Presidents who have been assassinated while in office, and the reason they were killed was because they weren’t cooperating with these Globalist Banksters:

1) William Henry Harrison was poisoned in 1841

2) Zachary Taylor was poisoned in in 1850

3) Abraham Lincoln was shot to death in 1865,

4) James Garfield was shot to death in 1881

5) William McKinley was shot to death in 1901

6) Warren Harding died unexpectedly in 1923, and there was speculation that he had been poisoned.

7) John F. Kennedy was shot to death in 1963

Ever look at the trust corporations, such as the RESOLUTION TRUST CORPORATION (RTC), which I believe is incorporated in Texas (?), and its associated with the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC.?

A Trust is a fiduciary relationship in which one party holds legal title to another’s property for the benefit of a party who holds equitable title to the property.

Who holds the equitable title?

Have you ever notice how property deeds use the word ‘tenant’ when referring to the supposed owner?

We are ruled by fictitious entities – corporations are fictions.

We have been lied to our entire lives, and we have been told we are free.

The United States is owned, lock, stock, and barrel, and also pursuant to the adhesion contracts we have all signed,  each of us as citizens of the United States are also owned by these Banksters.

Thank God there are more and more voices who are telling the truth.

What about you? Do you have a clue yet what is at stake here and what is the endgame of these evil people?

May God help us if the American people can’t get this one right!

We need to wake up and take back our country while we still can!!!

From Liberty to Bondage… is this to be America’s future?

At the close of  the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Benjamin Franklin as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberations, a woman approached him and asked the following question:

“Well, Doctor, what have we got—

a Republic or a Monarchy?”

To which Benjamin Franklin responded:

“A Republic madam, if you can keep it!”

Well how have we done, have we kept our Republic… the answer is, no we haven’t!

I read this a long time ago, it’s called the Cycle of Democracy, and it really sounds like what has happened here in our country.

Which brings me to another point that I will bring up later in this blog, and that is there was a very GOOD reason why our founding fathers made sure our nation was a Republic and NOT a Democracy, but again I will cover that a little later.

Also I’ve included an interview (see below) with a former IRS Special Agent, that you won’t want to miss!

Just read what this scholar said way back in 1770, and ask yourself if this doesn’t mirror our history and is it not an accurate representation of where we are today?

“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

“If tyranny and oppression come to this land it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”  ~ James Madison

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppose.” ~Frederick Douglass

_______________________________

Back in 1963 Madalyn Murray O’Hair, on behalf of her son, filed a lawsuit claiming compulsory prayer and Bible reading in public schools was unconstitutional, and she won her case.

In a new book, entitled My Life Without God, William Murray (her son), who is today a born-again Christian, makes the point that the decline in American society, culture, and government began with a series of rogue Supreme Court decisions in the 60’s.

I would add that this marked the beginning of when judges began reinterpreting our organic U. S. Constitution, and started legislating law from the bench.

By so doing they went against what was then over 184 years of established legal precedent, and began instead to reinterpret our organic Constitution as a “Living Constitution,” which meant that they started redefining the original intent of our founding fathers, and began to say that our Constitution was a living document that evolves and changes with time.

Consequently overtime, this bogus ideology has served to diminish our Constitution into being a mere reflection of whatever “Politically Correct” nonsense happens to be in vogue at any particular time and is the flavor of the month.

This sort of thinking as brought us to the point today, where there are no longer any absolutes, and there is no absolute right or wrong; where politicians operate as they please, even lying to the American people because the ends justifies the means, and they know that the bought and paid for American media, who are owned and controlled by the same evil oligarchy, will not hold them accountable, and so they get away with it.

Have you not noticed that under today’s system, that it’s perfectly okay for elected politicians to lie and to mislead the American People, they have no qualms about doing that and they do it all the time (virtually every time they open their mouth), and for them it’s just considered business as usual; but for one of us to go before Congress and lie to them means that we go to jail. Folks what is wrong with this picture?!

I mean truly these people who are at the top of this de facto D. C. Corporation all seem to think that we’re all dummies and that we lack the will and nerve to stand up to them and stop them.

They’re playing us all as you would a Stradivarius violin and I think it’s about time we stop just going along with their evil agenda and program, and say enough is enough!!!

You all know that what I’m saying here about the corruption and lying is true, and yet all most will do is joke about it every election period, and use it as an excuse to not get involved, and to let our country continue to go to hell in a hand basket!

I would add also that what began in the sixties as an effort to change our long standing Judaic/Christian culture and values, was but another piece in a well thought out strategy, that was put in place over 92 years prior, in 1871, with the passage of another unconstitutional piece of legislation called the Act of 1871.

This was done in direct contravention of our organic Constitution, and its purpose was to changed our only de jure (lawful) from of government from a Constitutional Republic into what we are today, which is this de facto UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION, which is wholly owned and controlled by a foreign cartel of private international banksters.

Who I might add also wholly own another privately held corporation, called the Federal Reserve.

This means folks that even if we are able to do away with the FED, as some are saying will happen today, and transfer everything back over to the Department of the Treasury, as our Constitution states, and yet still we fail to rid our government of this corrosive and corrupt de facto Corporate System, and ergo the Banksters who influence it for their own benefit and profit are still in place, then we haven’t really changed anything at all, because the exact same people who got us into this mess will still be in charge!!!

What is needed is that we do a total and complete housecleaning in our nation’s capitol, starting at the very top, including past and present Presidents and Congressmen, who have willfully violated their oath of office and have for personal greed and ambition, sold us out to these other outside interests groups.

It means that we no longer operate as a de facto corporation, whose power flows from the top down, but instead we become once again what our founding fathers originally intended us to be, which is a Republic, where the flow of power comes from bottom up, from “We the People,” which begins at the local municipalities, and the states that are formed by them!

It means  that we elect men and women to office who actually will represent us in the office of President, the House, and the Senate; that we put in office men and women who are actually going to represent our interests, to serve us, and to do what’s best for our future and our country; and are NOT working for outside interests groups, private banksters, mega corporations, and lobbyists, as is the case today!

We need to understand that we didn’t just get in this position, in this downward spiral that our nation is in, overnight.

All of this is the result of a long thought out strategy and plan, from the pit of hell (and I mean that literally), which really started before our nation was founded, but which is today being implemented in our country by these long established international banksters, to reprogram the basic structure of our society and culture, in order to undermine our Constitutional Republic, and to force upon us a “New World Order.”

The ultimate goal and intention of this New World Order is in fact what we are seeing the beginnings of today under this Obama Administration, and that is the complete elimination of the middle class, and the conversion over to a two class society made up of the very rich, who will presume themselves to be the “Master Race” so to speak (taking off from where Hitler failed), and the very poor, which includes all the the rest of us, which they intend to make their slaves, or if you will their worker bees.

You will notice today that virtually everywhere you look in our society, in the news, from our politicians, and even among the people on the streets, whenever they are talking about what form of government we have, invariably we are called a “Democracy.”

This in fact shows just how successful these Globalist Banksters have been over the years, in their efforts to reprogram and to re-engineer our society, because if you will bother to look, the use of that term and that presumption that we are a democracy could not be more inaccurate; and it is in fact a total and complete misrepresentation of our history.

That’s why you’ll not find that term “democracy” anywhere in any of our founding documents; and the reason for that is because our founding fathers did their homework and they knew all too well that EVERY democracy in history has ALWAYS ended up exactly where we are today, controlled by an oligarchy!

That’s why pursuant to our U. S. Constitution, our founding fathers defined our only de jure form of government as a Constitutional Republic.

It is very important today that we understand what the differences are between a Democracy and a Republic.

 What is happening today I believe is an answer to prayer that the evil deeds and agenda that these people have for our nation is being exposed all over the place, but it is still up to us to stop then, and that won’t happen as long as we just continue to go with the flow and follow these criminals as dumb sheep, and bow to whatever they tell us to do!

They are the law breakers because they have to a man violated our Constitution, which they ALL swore an oath to preserve, protect, and to defend; and they need to be held accountable by the People! After all they work for us and we pay their salary… do we not???

So why for the love of God are we allowing the tail to wag the dog?

When it comes down to it, those Globalist Banksters and the crowd of corrupt politicians, the media, and others who have been bought by them, only represent about 50,000 people… and so it’s them against the entire world! Folks, I think the odds are on our side.

The point is these lying banksters and politicians are not going to change their spots, and nothing is going to change this downward spiral that our country is in until we change, and stop putting up with their nonsense!!!

As I promised, below I have included an interview with a former IRS agent, who tells his story about how when he brought up the inconsistencies of the IRS code to the higher ups in the IRS, about all of the discrepancies he found there, he was forced to resign, and then when he took his case to the Clinton Administration,  he afterwards found himself facing criminal charges, all in an effort to silence another Whistle Blower!

Joe Banister is pictured on the left

Joe Banister is a licensed CPA and is a former special agent of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and is an IRS whistle blower.

He has appeared on the television program “60 Minutes II,” and has publicly challenged the conduct of the IRS concerning legal issues regarding taxation.

Mr. Banister is believed to be the first and only IRS Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent ever to conduct an off-duty investigation about claims that the federal income tax is fraudulently administered and enforced. After confronting top IRS officials about the validity of those claims, including his own IRS supervisors, he was encouraged to resign and did so from the IRS on February 25, 1999. He later took his case to the Clinton Administration and subsequently found himself facing trumped up criminal charges, all in an effort to discredit his voice. We all have heard that happening before, haven’t we?

The interview begins with the last part of an interview with political commentator Malcolm Out, where he’s talking about the recent NSA spying revelations.

These people who are undermining our Constitution today, and are intentionally undermining and weakening the sovereignty of our nation, all in order to ram their New World Order down our collective throats, are worse than bad… they are TRAITORS, everyone of them!

Take action today! You can start by praying and asking God what you should do, because we aren’t going to make it without God’s help!

One thing we ALL can do is start by getting the word out and let your voice be heard!

The next thing you can do is sign up with the rest of us freedom loving Americans, and join the already re-inhabited Republic for the united states of America!

Also if you know of anyone who is going through a foreclosure, I would strongly recommend that you direct them to the following website, called HISAdvocates.org.

A CALL TO ACTION: Florida Governor Arrests, Replaces Sheriff for Upholding Second Amendment

“The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing!”

~Sir.Edmund Burke

Fellow defenders of Liberty…  

My apologies to Reverend Martin Niemoller as I plagiarize his admonition regarding the Holocaust:

“First they came for the sheriffs, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a sheriff. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Here’s a quick synopsis of the story.  A man was about to be charged for having a concealed weapon without a permit.  Sheriff Nick Finch of Liberty County, Florida (no, that’s not a joke) decided to release the man because he had no prior convictions.

Governor Rick Scott

Sheriff Finch was elected to office based on his promise to defend our right to keep and bear arms.  The man was released – and Sheriff Finch was arrested by agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement under instructions from Florida Governor, Rick Scott.

Exclusive Interview With Liberty Co. Sheriff Nick Finch: “I Will Never Back Down!”

Written by  Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
 

On June 4, agents of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) arrested Nick Finch, sheriff of Liberty County, Florida. About 11 p.m. the previous Friday night, May 31, four agents of the FDLE served a search warrant on employees of the Liberty County, Florida jail, seized arrest and booking documents, and issued subpoenas to the employees.

Nick FinchSheriff Finch, a veteran of the U.S. armed forces, was booked into his own county jail and later released on his own recognizance.

After Sheriff Finch was released, Governor Rick Scott suspended Sheriff Finch and replaced him with an agent of the FDLE, the very agency that is investigating the case against the sheriff.

According to the affidavit for arrest, Sheriff Finch is charged with one count of official misconduct as set forth in Florida State Statutes, Title 46, Chapter 838.022. That section defines the crime of official misconduct — a third degree felony — as follows:

(1) It is unlawful for a public servant, with corrupt intent to obtain a benefit for any person or to cause harm to another, to:

(a) Falsify, or cause another person to falsify, any official record or official document;

(b) Conceal, cover up, destroy, mutilate, or alter any official record or official document or cause another person to perform such an act; or

(c) Obstruct, delay, or prevent the communication of information relating to the commission of a felony that directly involves or affects the public agency or public entity served by the public servant.

This reporter is also a constitutional attorney and recognizes not only the inadequacy of the arresting affidavit, but  also that the key phrase in the crime of official misconduct is “with corrupt intent.”

It should be noted at this point, that the man arrested by the deputy — Floyd Eugene Parrish — was never booked. He was merely being detained in a holding cell while the booking documents were being worked up by the jail administrative staff.

A sheriff — any sheriff — may choose not to formally charge a detainee. then, any documents related to that case may be destroyed as they are no longer legally required to be filed.

Nothing Sheriff Finch did in this case is corrupt, illegal, unethical, or unheard of.

Every single act falls well within the normal course of business for a county sheriff and a county jail.

Back to the charges. In the law, the “corrupt intent” element is known as the mens rea, or requisite mental state of the crime.

Basically, if a person commits an act, but does so without the requisite mental state, a crime is not committed.

Apparently, then, Governor Scott believes that Sheriff Finch had some sort of corrupt intent when he refused to book Floyd Eugene Parrish of carrying a concealed weapon.

Ironically, after conducting an exclusive interview with Sheriff Finch, it seems that the political machines in Liberty County and Tallahassee were the only parties whose intent was corrupt.

Corruption is not unknown in Liberty County, one of the smallest and poorest in the Sunshine State. Take, for example, this quote from an unidentified citizen when asked about possible motives behind the unconscionable treatment of Sheriff Finch.

“Since he’s considered what people consider an outsider and not from Liberty County, that they finally railroaded him out. In my personal opinion he was doing his job and people didn’t like it,” said Samuel Coover, as quoted in a story by WCTV.com.

Coover’s version of the events is corroborated by Sheriff Nick Finch in his interview. In the wide-ranging discussion of his arrest and his beliefs, Sheriff Finch showed himself to be a dedicated, humble, resilient public servant who is determined not to back down from his bold support for the Second Amendment and the God-given rights guaranteed by it.

The New American: Sheriff, thanks so much for talking to me. How are you and your family holding up?

Sheriff Nick Finch: We’re doing fine. We’re doing as well as we can under the circumstances.

TNA: Tell us a little bit about how you became sheriff of Liberty County.

Sheriff: After serving 20 years in the military — I enlisted when I was 19 — I moved to Liberty County to be close to my wife’s family. In 2008, I ran for sheriff the first time as a Republican. I came in third, but got over 500 votes. After working for a while as an investigator in the Florida Department of Transportation’s Inspector General’s office, I contacted the man who was the sheriff of Liberty County and asked if there was anything I could do for him. I worked for two years as a room deputy and I could not believe the sorts of things that went on there. I would shake my head everyday at what I saw. The sheriff’s office was rife with corruption. So, I decided to run again in 2012, but this time without party affiliation. I believe both parties have lost their way. This was unheard of. To everybody’s surprise but my own, I won the election by a narrow margin and was sworn in. This wasn’t the first time I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and ever since that day I first took the oath when I joined the military at 19, I have never violated that oath and I never will.

TNA: What was the reaction to your unprecedented election?

Sheriff: Well, the local politicians didn’t like it because I was beholden to nobody. I accepted one $500 donation to my campaign and that was from a family member. I financed the rest entirely out of my own pocket. I don’t owe anybody or any party anything and local politicians don’t like that. My only obligation is to the Constitution and I will continue to act according to my oath and that duty.

TNA: Do you think your non-partisan and self-made status is behind your arrest and suspension?

Sherrif: I imagine so. Local politicians wanted me gone because they can’t control me. I don’t know who Governor Scott’s advisors are, but they are not advising him very well. This is a political witch hunt.

TNA: Did you vote for Governor Scott?

Sheriff: No, I didn’t. I’m not a Republican or a Democrat, I’m just a man who believes in the Constitution and believes that it is the highest law in the land.

TNA: What about the allegations made against you in the arresting affidavit?

Sheriff:There is no truth to it. I can’t say much about the specific events until the criminal case against me is over.

TNA: What can you tell me about the man, Floyd Eugene Parrish, that you released from the holding cell?

Sheriff: I didn’t know him before I saw him in the jail that day. I know a member of his family, but not well. When I ordered him released from the holding cell I say that he has a right to carry a gun under the Second Amendment, and so I let him go.

TNA: What prompted you to take that step?

Sheriff: My beliefs and my stand on the Second Amendment.

TNA: Going forward, is there a time you might give up this case?

Sheriff: Never! I will take this case all the way to the Supreme Court.

TNA: Are you surprised by the outpouring of support from around the country?

Sheriff: Yes, I am. I am so humbled and grateful for everybody’s support. As I talk to people around Liberty County, it seems that everybody is up in arms.

TNA: Given what has happened, being arrested and suspended without pay, would you go back and let Parrish be booked into jail?

Sheriff: Absolutely not. I did nothing wrong. I violated no state law and I upheld the Constitution. What I did was based on the Constitution and my commitment to the Second Amendment and I would do it all again.

As the foregoing interview demonstrates, Sheriff Richard Mack, founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, was right when he described Sheriff Finch as a man who is “the real deal who has done nothing wrong.”

A rally in support of Sheriff Nick Finch and the right to keep and bear arms he is suffering to support will be held on June 14 at 11:00 a.m. at 400 S. Monroe St. in Tallahassee, Florida.

Sheriff Finch revealed to me for the first time that he will indeed speak at the rally and he will let people know why he believes so firmly in the right to keep and bear arms and why he took the stand he took in defense of that right.

Readers are encouraged to check the Facebook page dedicated to Sheriff Finch for updates and to express their support for a duly elected constitutional sheriff who is being persecuted and prosecuted for his actions in defense of the Constitution.

______________________________________

Many times people ask me what can they do to help the cause?

Well here’s a couple things that you can do:

At the first two Constitutional Sheriffs conventions sponsored by Richard Mack and CSPOA.org (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association), several sheriffs who respect their oath to defend the Constitution spoke about how they took unpopular stands against the federal and state governments – and won!

Sheriff Finch has said that he never expected to be in trouble for doing what he promised to do during his campaign.

WE MUST TAKE A STAND AND SUPPORT THIS COUNTY SHERIFF!

If you live in the area and can make either one of these Rallies, it would be very helpful!

There are plans in the works to have TWO separate rallies in support of Sheriff Finch.

  • The first one is scheduled for Friday, June 14th, at 11:00am (Eastern) in front of the Florida state capitol in Tallahassee.
  • Another rally will be organized a few weeks in the future if it is necessary, however there is hope that the public outcry will be so strong, that the case against Sheriff Finch will be dropped before it gets started.

This is something we ALL can do:

YOU ARE ALSO INVITED TO JOIN A CONFERENCE CALL

This call will happen tonight:  

Thursday, June 13th, at 9:00pm Eastern (6:00pm Pacific) to find out how you can support the cause. Sheriff Finch will be on the call, as well as Adrian Wyllie who is organizing Friday’s rally.

It is possible that Sheriff Finch’s defense fund will be active by Thursday night so you can contribute.

I suspect that we will provide the address, phone and fax numbers of Governor Scott so that thousands of people across the country can express their displeasure with his tyrannical reaction.

Details are still coming in, and everything that can be shared will be on Thursday night’s call.

Please call in a few minutes early so we can start on time, and absolutely, positively share this information with all of your eMail acquaintances.

If you have friends in Florida, please call them on the telephone and urge themto attend the rally on Friday in Tallahassee.


Conference dial-in number: (559) 726-1300
Participant access code:        682797#

There is strength in numbers and we need your conspicuous support.

Remember Edmund Burke’s warning that “The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good men (and women) to do nothing.”

Thank you in advance for your enthusiastic support!

Please just make a difference!!!

The part Israel plays in end times prophecy is central to God’s prophetic time clock… and the fact is, God is calling us ALL back to faith in Him!

God is calling for the people of America to come home!!!

Isaiah 55:11

The Message (MSG)

8-11 “I don’t think the way you think.
The way you work isn’t the way I work.”

God’s Decree.
“For as the sky soars high above earth,
so the way I work surpasses the way you work,
and the way I think is beyond the way you think.

Just as rain and snow descend from the skies
and don’t go back until they’ve watered the earth,
Doing their work of making things grow and blossom,
producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,
So will the words that come out of my mouth
not come back empty-handed.
They’ll do the work I sent them to do,
they’ll complete the assignment I gave them.

The truth is only men and women of faith will receive this message; and it was men and women of faith who founded this nation!!!

Whether you believe in God, or not, our founding fathers did; and the first thing we have to realize is our way back as a nation under God starts with our conforming once again to God’s instructions, as found in the Bible!

Let us begin here:

2 Chronicles 7:14

14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Now is the time to turn to the Lord with your whole heart if you have not done so.
 
God sent his only son so that we may have life and be freed from bondage and slavery to sin.
 
Whether you call his son Jesus,Yahshua,Yeshua, Messiah, etc, he is able to save you from this fallen nature and bring you into His image.
 
As the days grow darker and darker, Satan is giving everything he’s got with the purpose to find out who really belongs to the Lord and who is “religious?”
 
If we do humble ourselves and seek the Lord with a whole heart, giving up this world, then we will find Jesus and be set free.
 
He will provide all we need to make it through the days ahead by the power of the Holy Spirit!
 
The modern Christian Church, particularly in the West, does not teach humility, death to self and submission to the Lord.
 
We must be emptied of self if we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
 
Seek to be filled with the Spirit daily, moment by moment!
 
The measure of the Spirit that is about to be poured out is immense and we should seek the Lord to be ready to receive it.
 
If a cup is full of vinegar and you want to put wine in the cup what must you do?
 
We must humble ourselves and be emptied of this flesh life before we can be filled with the Holy Spirit!
 
As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God (Romans8:14).
 
Abide in Jesus Christ for he is the secret place of the most High! (Psalms 91).
 
The Lord bless you!!
 

The question is, regarding the following subject, is there a correlation between our American Foreign Policy in Israel and the natural disasters that we are seeing here at home?

Is God trying to tell us something?  I think so.

The facts speak for themselves; and as I’ve always said, when it comes to the word “coincidence” in the affairs of men, as it relates to God’s Word, their is no such thing as happenstance, and the word coincidence it’s NOT a kosher word!

America, I believe, is at a crossroads of decision today, in whether or not we are going to repent and return to our founding Judaic/Christian values and heritage that made us the most blessed and envied people in the history of the world; or whether we are going to allow this unbelieving and pagan (de facto) leadership in Washington D.C. rob us of our Constitutional liberties, and lead us all into oblivion and ruination?

Regardless of where you stand on this issue, the truth is this nation, by all recorded historic records, which can be verified in both our founding documents as a nation, and also in the personal writings of our Founding Fathers, this nation was founded by men and women of faith!!!

Consequently in the subsequent vacuum that was left over time, when Christians abdicated all positions of responsibility and power in both the government and in the marketplace, nonbelievers came in and have taken over.

What we see all around us today, in this de facto and unconstitutional mess called the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION, is the result!

Please note that when it comes to the nation of Israel, and God is very clear on this one point, that we are dealing with the apple of His eye, and we had better pay attention!

Long ago God promised Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you!” (Genesis 12:3)

Joel 3:2

2 I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.

So the question is, in your mind, is what follows merely a coincidence, or is God today warnings us and is He giving us time to repent and turn back to Him?

We report, you decide!

AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY-ISRAEL AND NATURAL DISASTERS

January 10, 2010, 10:29 am

Since 1990, every time the American government has tried to fiddle with the borders of Israelsome kind of natural disaster has occurred to an American interest, and usually on American soil.

We’re not talking only about one time, or five times, even ten times anymore. It’s been much more.

Is there a connection between natural disasters and harming Israel?

There is some interesting correlations between the weather, and forcing Israel to give up land.

God’s Final Warning to America

Below is a sampling of ”record-size” natural events which coincided when the United States pressured Israel to give up its land for peace, as documented in John McTernan’s book, ”God’s Final Warning to America“.

I just noticed maybe there is something to this when:

 Obama slapped Israel in the face by his big Middle East speech Thursday, May 19, Barack Obama dropped a bombshell that took even the government of Israel by surprise.

He announced not only a two-state solution, but that the borders must revert to the 1967 lines – something Israel will certainly never, ever do.

Barack Obama’s proposal for Israel to pull back from the West Bank to behind the indefensible 1967 lines is down right crazy. Especially with all the unrest and uncertainty in the middle east and the Hamas/Fatah unification.

But all this is not as bad as President Barack Obama told 10,000 attentive delegates at AIPAC’s annual policy conference in Washington on Sunday morning he had specified that “the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps.” Mutually agreed, he repeated. Nothing was going to be imposed on Israel and, by definition, the notion of agreed swaps meant that Israel would not have to return to its vulnerable pre-’67 lines.

So which way is it, does Obama mean should the 1967 lines be a basis for peace talks or not ?

DOES OBAMA MEAN WHAT HE SAYS, CAN ONE TRUST ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH

WELL WHAT ABOUT :

Obama’s 2008 empty promise to Israel: Jerusalem will never be divided. Oops, looks like he kinda spaced that one yesterday.

 THEN THIS HAPPENED

THERE SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks at a joint news conference with Israel’s Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman following their meeting at the State Department, June 17, 2009. REUTERS/Yuri Gripas

.US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fractured her right elbow in a fall while on her way to the White House on Wednesday. Her chief of staff said Clinton was taken to George Washington University Hospital before returning home.

It is a bad  fracture requiring surgery

The fall came after Clinton had held talks with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on so called “illegal settlements.”

The Obama administration and Israel gave no ground Wednesday in their opposing views over Jewish settlements in Palestinian territory despite speculation the two sides might be nearing compromise. The US and Israel Still Butting Heads on Settlements

Lieberman insisted that ”we had some understandings with the previous administration and we (will) try to keep this direction.”

Today we see

9 Jan 2010

Mitchell: Mideast stagnation endangers US aid on eve of visit to region, American special envoy threatens Israel with sanctions if it fails to advance peace talks, two-state solution.

On the eve of his visit to the Middle East, US special envoy George Mitchell threatened that his country would freeze its aid toIsrael if the Jewish state failed to advance peace talks with the Palestinians and a two-state solution.

When he travels to the region, Mitchell is expected to be carrying letters of “guarantees” outlining the US position.

The letters are likely to contain gestures to both sides. For the Palestinians, that would include criticism of settlements and the belief that the borders that existed before the 1967 Arab-Israeli War should be the basis of a future peace deal.

For the Israelis, they would acknowledge that post-1967 demographic changes on the ground must be taken into account, meaning that Israel would be able to keep some settlements.

Clinton did not address the letters in her remarks. But she said the administration wanted a resolution that meets both the Palestinian goal of a clearly defined and viable state based on the borders that existed before the 1967 war ”with agreed swaps” and the Israeli goal of security within boundaries that ”reflect subsequent developments.”

“There is a hunger for a resolution of this matter, a two-state solution that would rebuke the terrorists and the naysayers, that would give the Palestinians a legitimate state for their own aspirations and would give the Israelis the security they deserve to have,” she said.

Eureka, California Earthquake: 6.5 Magnitude

Earthquake Hits

Northern California

A 6.5 magnitude earthquake hit Northern California about an hour ago. The Eureka, California earthquake was also felt in nearby Ferndale, California.

Maybe there is something to this

And,lest you think that this is only an urban legend, check it out for yourself at:

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/t/tenmajorevents.htm

where it says:

Summary of the eRumor: A list of ten dates on which there important events related to Israel along with natural disasters affecting the United States. The implication is that the U.S. had better pay attention to decisions about Israel … or else.

TheTruth: The historical accounts in this eRumor are, for the most part, accurate.  What is left is the question of what do they mean?

Believers in the email’s message say it means that if the U.S. wants to avoid natural disasters … be nice to Israel. Skeptics say that going through all the events in a particular span of years and finding apparent correlations doesn’t mean they were connected.

What They failed to include in the list was George Bush Sr.’s loss in the 1992 election (plummeting from an 80 percent post-war rating in only a matter of months!) to Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, someone with a past so shady that he earned the nickname, “Slick Willy.” What had seemed like a shoe-in for a second term after Operation Desert Storm quickly became a humiliating defeat.

Indeed, as it turned out, the election witnessed one of the largest voter turnouts in American history to date, but not as much to vote-in Clinton as to vote-out the incumbent President Bush.

Apparently, he had just made good on his threat to suspend 10 billion dollars in loan guarantees to the Israeli government for not stopping construction of “settlements”. And, incidentally, it had been Vice-President Bush who had been the most outspoken against the Israeli surprise attack on the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1984.

The-eRumor confirmation also stopped short of the eradication of Gush Katif in the summer of 2005, and the Level 5 Hurricane Katrina that had occurred the following week, pounding Louisiana, exiling many of its inhabitants, and destroying countless homes and businesses.

Believers: The connection was super-obvious, with newscasters on both sides of the ocean using similar terminology to describe the effects of each disaster.

Not to be outdone by his father, or to learn from his predecessor, George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States of America, continued on with the legacy of both, and suffered a similar fate.

Yes, he sat for two terms, but he also had to watch his popularity erode day-after-day, in spite of his victory over Iraqi leader Suddam Hussein (ironically, it was the conclusion of the battle his father had started), until election day came around, when the U.S. Electorate once again come out in full force against his party, to vote the Republicans out of office with an overwhelming majority.

Not only this, but the financial markets crashed right in time for the election, as if planned, triggering a world-wide recession, if not a depression.

Banks went bust, while large companies were reduced to dust — and still are — as the Arabs pressure Western countries to pressure Israel into a two-state solution, and basically, national suicide, God forbid.

And, for the record, though contrary to popular belief, not giving the Arabs what they want just because they want it, and upsetting them to the point that they take revenge on the world, is not called being a threat to world peace. peace is never at the unwilling cost of other innocent people, as every other country in the world will tell you. That is, up until they start talking about the future of the State of Israel:

Now, I don’t suspect that the leaders of the world will pick up on this pattern of current history. I supposed that they are either too ignorant or too arrogant to come to the conclusion that not only is there a God, and not only does He run the world, but that He actually gets involved to such an extent as to cause reciprocal damage when that which He cherishes is abused.

If so, then maybe they are not expected to get it. Maybe, in the end, they are only expected to allow their ignorance and arrogance to be the source of their own undoing, as it seems to be these days.

Maybe they are destined to go down, but at that own hands, measure-for-measure, as God seems to enjoy working. Just like Pharaoh at the beginning of Jewish history, the world’s leaders are the end of Jewish history are victims of their own blind spots and prejudices.

Here are a few more:

US Sponsored Israeli-Palestinian Meetings Coincided with Two Major Record US Disasters in December –

Largest flood in Washington State’s history followed by the largest ice storm and power outage in Oklahoma’s history

Thursday, Nov. 29: U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza met with the leaders of 18 American Jewish organizations to assure them that the Bush administration will not pressure Israel but, rather, facilitate talks between the two sides.

Ynet reported that along with her calming words for the leaders, Rice reminded them that President Bush has been the friendliest president towards Israel in American history, and that Israel should therefore accelerate talks with Palestinians to achieve as much as possible while Bush still sits in the White House.

Friday, Nov. 30: AccuWeather: ”It’s hard to believe how much energy is available for storms right now. Not only one, but two major disturbances will impact various parts of the country within the next 72 hours.”

Saturday, Dec. 1: AccuWeather: ”Two very potent winter storm systems are affecting the country today: one in the Northeast, and one in the Pacific Northwest. Both systems contain a great deal of snow and wind.”

Monday, Dec. 3: AccuWeather: Northern New England received more than a foot of snow through Tuesday. Schools from New York to Maine were canceled because of slick roads and 40-mph winds that have created near-blizzard conditions in some parts of New England.

Hurricane-force winds gusting to 100 mph were reported along the Oregon coast, with the highest reading at 129 mph at Bay City, the National Weather Service said. Massive rains produced flooding.

The governors of Washington and Oregon declared states of emergency, which could speed relief efforts in flood-hit areas.

Tuesday, Dec. 4: AccuWeather: ”The storm system that pummeled parts of Washington and Oregon on Monday will hang around for one more day. The good news is that this system will not pack nearly as much of a potent punch as it did yesterday.”

Wednesday, Dec. 5: AccuWeather: ”The flooding that has inundated the Northwest, greatly impacting lives and travel, will be part of historical records. Rivers have either risen to or will exceed record levels set during a 1996 storm.”

Damage could be in the billions of dollars, Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire said Wednesday.

Wednesday, Dec. 12: Israeli and Palestinian negotiating teams met in Jerusalem for their first official meeting towards a permanent peace agreement since 2001. In their 90-minute meeting, they argued over Israel’s Jerusalem construction and Hamas rockets being fired from Gaza.

Wednesday, Dec. 12: Rice: Bush to take a more active role in Middle East peace process. Secretary of State Rice told USA Today that President Bush would be visiting the region because ”he very much wants to signal support for the bilateral process between the parties and to continue in a hands-on way to encourage them to move forward.”

Still, she described that approach as not one that says ”All right, I’m going to go ahead and fix this for you,” but one emphasizing talking to the parties, in which ”he’ll be able to get a strong sense of where the points of convergence are that maybe they won’t see, and where the points are divergence are as well.”

Wednesday, Dec. 12: About 468,000 homes and businesses in Oklahoma still had no power — the state suffering its worst power outage on record. Utility officials said it could be a week to 10 days before power is fully restored.

Elsewhere, around 228,000 customers were still blacked out in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska. Kansas’ tally had risen sharply — to 130,000 on Wednesday from Tuesday’s 15,000 — as rural electric cooperatives reported in and falling branches brought down more power lines.

Thursday, Dec. 13: In Oklahoma, at least 315,000 homes and businesses were still without power, officials said. In Missouri, about 35,000 customers remained in the dark, said Al Butkus, spokesman for utility Aquila Inc.

Friday, Dec. 14: The second wintry blast could complicate efforts to restore power to the more than 280,000 homes and businesses in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri still blacked out after the first storm put a million customers in the dark at its height this week.

Utilities in the Plains said nearly 400,000 customers remained without power on Friday due to ice storms this week. Electric companies reported that more than 800,000 of the 1.2 million customers who lost power have had it restored.

Saturday, Dec. 15: Oklahoma utilities said about 181,000 homes and businesses still had no electricity. Some 62,000 were still blacked out in Kansas

With the tornadoes and all today, could there be a link with what John Kerry is today attempting to do in Israel once again, to cause them to give up land for so called peace, when to do so would compromise there ability to defend themselves?

For me, the answer is obvious, but I’ll leave it for you to examine the evidence yourself.

Kerry wants major Israeli concessions for Palestinians, including sovereign northern Dead Sea coast

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 28, 2013, 2:17 PM (IDT)
Veteran Kibbutz Kalia on the Dead SeaUS Secretary of State John Kerry put a package of proposals for reviving the moribund Israel-Palestinian peace process before Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and peace negotiator Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and then returned to Amman Monday, May 27.
He keeps the package’s contents firmly under his hat. However, according to some of the details revealed here for the first time by DEBKAfile’s sources, Kerry’s top-secret plan places on Israel the onus of major concessions including strategic and national assets, for the sake of buying the Palestinian leader’s consent to sit down and talk. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) is not required to pay anything real in return – although it was who stalled the peace negotiations in the first place.As the first of these concessions, Kerry wants Israel to permit the Palestinians to build in Jericho for their prospective state an international airport for direct civilian flights to and from America and Europe. Those flights would cross Israeli air space and be coordinated with Israeli flight control authorities.Our exclusive sources further disclose that, while Palestinian authorities would be in charge of security at the future Jericho airport, Israel would maintain control of passengers and freight traffic by means of computer and surveillance camera networks.
In 2006, a similar remote system was installed at the Gaza Strip’s Rafah border post under European controllers after Israel’s withdrawal from the territory. It soon broke down when the foreign controllers were scared away by Palestinian threats.
Kerry envisages the transformation of the entire Jericho region north of the Dead Sea and near the Jordanian border into a busy hub for galvanizing the economy of the future Palestinian state. He wants Israel to hand over to the Palestinians the Kalia region on the northern shore of the Dead Sea. Kibbutz Kalia, albeit part of sovereign Israel from its inception in 1948, is nonetheless one of the assets Kerry wants Israel to cede to the Palestinians.
The fate of the veteran Israeli kibbutz is left up in the air.
Israeli concessions would not end at the northern Dead Sea coast, according to the secret Kerry plan; it would be just the first in a series of land and sovereignty handovers granted the Palestinians in trilateral negotiations among Israel, the Palestinians and the United States.The Palestinians would also be awarded by the process a three-year economic reconstruction program for boosting their Gross National Product by 50 percent and slashing unemployment from 21 to 8 percent.
The Middle East Quartet’s Special Envoy Tony Blair will head the program, Secretary Kerry reported to the world economic forum meeting in Jordan Sunday, May 26. His goal is to raise $4 billion for investing in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.“This is the biggest, boldest and most ambitious program ever granted the Palestinians since Oslo, 20 years ago,” Kerry told the forum.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has not divulged his views on the Kerry proposals – merely for winning Palestinian consent to talk peace. Since the payment of sovereign Israeli territory would be no more than the down- payment for pulling the Palestinians to the table, how many more high-value security and national assets will Israel will be required to part with along the road toward meeting the Palestinians’ ever-rising price tag?
Abu Mazen has gone on record as rejecting any economic proposals unaccompanied by political concessions. However, Kerry is still hard at his shuttle diplomacy and his talks with the Palestinian leader continue.

Kerry harps on the Palestinian issue while terrorist forces build up in Syria
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis

DEBKAfile May 24, 2013, 11:49 PM (GMT+02:00)


24 May. After spending 48 hours in Jerusalem and Ramallah, trying to talk Israeli and Palestinian leaders into returning to peace diplomacy, US Secretary of State John Kerry’s exit line, May 24, called for “hard decisions.” DEBKAfile: As he spoke, two rival terrorist groups, Al Qaeda and Hizballah, continued pouring fighting strength into Syria – both of them, enemies of Israel, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority.

The most conspicuous feature of Kerry’s current Middle East tour is the strong dichotomy between his public statements and the events taking place in the real world around him.

Israel’s leaders may decide to ignore Kerry’s message and focus their “hard decisions” on warding off the perils looming from Syria.
