Battle-scarred judge:

Lakin decision ignores Constitution


Moore: ‘Highest law in this country is not
Supreme Court, not commander in chief’

FORT MEADE, Md. – The military judge who curiously noted without explanation that uncovering evidence about President Obama’s birth records could prove “embarrassing” and denied an officer the right to obtain potentially exculpatory evidence in a court-martial simply has forgotten the Constitution, the supreme rule of the United States.

So says Judge Roy Moore, who battled the politically correct climate as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court a decade ago and ultimately was removed from office by a state panel that refused to review the constitutionality of a federal court order.

His comments came today in an interview with WND about Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, who yesterday was denied permission by Army Col. Denise R. Lind to obtain evidence that could document Obama is not eligible to occupy the Oval Office.

Lakin refused to follow his latest deployment orders to go to Afghanistan, because he was unable through Army channels to document Obama’s eligibility, and the president himself has declined opportunities to do so.

Judge Moore, who now operates through the Foundation for Moral Law, has personal experience with challenging the powers that be to follow the Constitution. His dispute centered on a Ten Commandments display he put in a state building to recognize the God who inspired the Founders of America.

A federal judge opined that the monument shouldn’t be there and ordered its removal. Moore refused and ultimately was removed from office by a state commission that he says “blindly” followed the order without evaluating its legitimacy.

See the movie Obama does not want you to see: Own the DVD that probes this unprecedented presidential-eligibility mystery!

With her decision, Lind mirrored a number of federal judges who have ruled on civil lawsuits over Obama’s eligibility. They have without exception denied the plaintiffs’ access to any requested documentation regarding the president’s eligibility.

Lind ruled that it was “not relevant” for the military to be considering such claims, that the laws allegedly violated by Lakin were legitimate on their face and that the chain of command led up to the Pentagon, and that should have been sufficient for Lakin.

Moore said the ruling is a symptom of a judiciary across the nation that now believes in following “blindly.”

“The highest law in this country is not the order of the Supreme Court of the U.S., not the order of the commander in chief, or any subordinate officer,” he said.

Instead, it is the Constitution, which in this particular case demands that the president be a “natural born citizen,” a requirement not imposed on other officers.

There have been dozens of lawsuits and challenges over the fact that Obama’s eligibility never has been documented. The “Certification of Live Birth” his campaign posted online is a document that Hawaii has made available to those not born in the state.

“Lt. Col. Lakin has every right to question the lawfulness of the orders of the commander in chief. He’s not only the commander in chief, he dictates the whole war effort, as shown by the recent firing of [Gen. Stanley McChrystal],” Moore said.

It doesn’t matter, he said, that orders come from a colonel, or a general or even the Pentagon.

“The same thing applies in the military as in the judicial system,” he explained. “The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, it’s not the order of a higher officer, not the order of a judge.”

Lind found that since Congress allocates money for the war effort and the Pentagon was created, an order tracing back to the military hierarchy should have been sufficient for Lakin.

“That’s wrong,” Moore said. “They’re not the commander in chief.

“No order in the military can be issued without the authority that backs the order. The president didn’t give the order, but he is the authority that backs the order,” he said.

With the current protocol to simply follow orders, Moore warned, the U.S. will develop more incidents like that involving Lt. William Calley in Vietnam. The atrocities of My Lai were carried out under the guise of “following orders,” Moore noted.

Lakin “not only has a right to follow his personal convictions under the Constitution, he has a duty,” Moore said. “And if the authority running the efforts of the war is not a citizen in violation of the Constitution, the order is unlawful.”

Moore said he’s seen no convincing evidence that Obama is a “natural born citizen” and a lot of evidence that suggests he is not.

“This is the strangest thing indeed. The president has never produced [evidence] in the face of substantial evidence he was not born in our country. People are accepting it blindly based on their feelings, not on the law,” he said.

“They can’t fool all of the people all of the time, and that’s what they’re trying to do,” he said.

Lind’s ruling means Obama will not have to testify at Lakin’s court-martial, scheduled in October, nor will those who have custody of his birth records in Hawaii.

Lakin has been charged by the Army with missing a movement, disobeying a lawful order and dereliction of duty.

The charges have been filed because Lakin refused to deploy to Afghanistan in April, because he believes the president of the United States cannot be the commander in chief and has failed to prove his citizenship.

Paul Jensen, Lakin’s civilian attorney, argued lawful military orders come from the commander in chief, and those military orders are illegal if the authority behind them is fraudulent. He wanted the court to grant access to the president’s birth and educational records.

Jensen filed a “motion to compel,” which asked the court to subpoena officials at the Department of Health in Hawaii to produce a formal birth certificate. The motion also requested access to the president’s school records in Hawaii, Occidental College and Harvard University.

Jensen cited UCMJ article 46, which states: “The trial counsel, and the court martial shall have equal opportunity to obtain witnesses and other evidence in accordance with such regulations as the president may proscribe.”

In addressing the court, Jensen said, “If the president is ineligible, you need to know that, Lt. Col. Lakin needs to know that, and the army needs to know that.”

He also argued that obtaining birth and education records was routine and would do the court no harm. He said it was possible to even admit the evidence during this phase of the trial and later determine whether it could be used during the actual court-martial.

Instead, Lind said:

  • That all parties are, entitled to discovery or evidence under USMJ article 46. That President Obama is the commander in chief but that Congress also has significant and equal role in military matters under title 10 of the USC (Uniform Service Code.)
  • That Congress has the authority to raise an army, fund it and over the years created a proper chain of command including the secretary of the army.
  • That the issue of eligibility is a constitutional issue and a political question, not matter for a military court to decide.
  • That a court-martial has no jurisdiction in any potential impeachment, and it could be embarrassing, although Lind did not specify whether she meant embarrassing for the president or for the court.

Lind also refused to accept Lakin’s claim that his refusal to obey orders was a matter of conscience.

Another pre-trial hearing is scheduled for Sept 21.

Lind’s decision came just days after a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant general who commanded forces armed with nuclear weapons said the disclosure of Obama’s documentation is not just critical to Lakin’s defense, but to the preservation of the nation itself.

The vehement statements came in an affidavit from retired Lt. Gen. Thomas G. McInerney, a Fox News military analyst, that was disclosed by an organization generating support for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin.

Lakin had invited his own court-martial because he is unable to follow orders under the chain of command with Obama at its head unless the president’s eligibility is documented.

McInerney, who retired in 1994 after serving as vice commander in chief of USAF forces in Europe, commander of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing and assistant vice chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force, among other positions, said the chain of command issue is critical, since officers are obligated both to follow orders and to disobey illegal orders.

“Officers in the United States military service are – and must be – trained that they owe their highest allegiance to the United States Constitution,” he said in the affidavit.

“There can be no question that it is absolutely essential to good order and discipline in the military that there be no break in the unified chain of command, from the lowliest E-1 up to and including the commander in chief who is under the Constitution, the president of the United States. As military officers, we owe our ultimate loyalty not to superior officers or even to the president, but rather, to the Constitution.”

He explained “good order and discipline requires not blind obedience to all orders but instead requires officers to judge – sometimes under great adversity – whether an order is illegal.

“The president of the United States, as the commander in chief, is the source of all military authority,” he said. “The Constitution requires the president to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to hold office. If he is ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined.”

Lakin is being supported by the American Patriot Foundation, which said the affidavit is for use in Lakin’s trial, scheduled Oct. 13-15.

Lakin is a physician and in his 18th year of service in the Army. He posted a video asking for the court-martial to determine Obama’s eligibility.

He is board certified in family medicine and occupational and environmental medicine. He has been recognized for his outstanding service as a flight surgeon for year-long tours in Honduras, Bosnia and Afghanistan. He was also awarded the Bronze Star for his service in Afghanistan and recognized in 2005 as one of the Army Medical Department’s outstanding flight surgeons.

The controversy stems from the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which states, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”

A number of challenges and lawsuits have been based on the constitutional requirement, some alleging Obama does not qualify because he was not born in Hawaii in 1961 as he claims. Others say he fails to qualify because he was a dual citizen of the U.S. and the United Kingdom when he was born, and the framers of the Constitution specifically excluded dual citizens from eligibility.

Complicating the issue is the fact that besides Obama’s actual birth documentation, he has kept from the public documentation including his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records, baptism records and his adoption records.

Lakin had posted a YouTube video challenging the Army to charge him over the issue.

As WND reported, Lakin posted the video of his challenge to Obama to document his eligibility March 30.

In his latest video, Lakin said the issue of evidence is important:

Apparently the lights are on in Washington DC, but it is all but obvious that nobody is minding the store!!!

Whether you realize it or not, folks, our government is not only broke financially (or more accurately we are bankrupt, and have been ever since 1863); but our government is broke, because our elected officials are not taking care of business, at least not the way our U.S. Constitution mandates that they do.

Not only that, but according to a recent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report, owed to our continued massive overspending, our massive inflation, and the continued printing of billions of dollars in fiat money, the UNITED STATES CORPORATION (not the word they used, but nevertheless it is what it is) is about to default. They went on to say that it is inevitable, that it is only a matter of time; and that possibly it could happen before the next election in November!

Now add insult to injury, We have a man in the White House who obviously is NOT at all who he claims to be; and we have a Congress who has refused in the past, when he first ran for office, and they are still refusing even today to properly vet this guy!

The fact is, with Obama’s “Proof of Life Birth” document that he has submitted as his only proof of birth, which by the way, according to experts has even been altered, the fact remains that he couldn’t even get a job as a cook in the White House, because these credentials would not even pass the minimum security and background checks that such a job requires; and so the question is obviously why pray tell is this guy in the White House?

Every single legal attempt thus far, that has come from numerous lawsuits, to demand that this presidents show us his proper and legal credentials, credentials by the way which we all (as American citizens) have had to produced many times ourselves, which would prove his place of birth and citizenship, have all been stonewalled and denied.

Not only that, but apparently he doesn’t even have a U.S. Passport; and even though he has made trips overseas during his college days, prior to his entering into politics and his being elected to the U.S. Senate, the evidence would seem to indicate that he used an Indonesian Passport on these trips, as that is the only country that has granted him legal citizenship; or else if he does have a U.S. Passport, or if he ever had one, then why doesn’t he show us that, as that would also be valid prove of his citizenship and also his place of birth?!

But no, rather than do what should be very simple, Obama has elected instead to keep this information from the public; and has chosen instead to spend millions in attorney fees to keep this battle going. Now the obvious question is why? Why is he doing this and going through all of this, for something that should be so simple to prove. I mean what kind of sense does any of this make… except to say the guy is a liar and a fraud!!!

Now we have this patriot, Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, as one lone American and a loyal soldier, who has put his entire career on the line, retirement and all; not to mention he is risking going to jail, in order to make a point that no one apparently in our government (in Congress) thus far has been willing to make, and it is there job to do so!!!

Like I said, our government is broke, and if “We the People” don’t take it back, and restore our original organic Constitution and our Republic, then it will stay broke, and our children will live under a Socialist Dictatorship, that is if Obama is allowed to continue and have has his way!

My message to Obama is very clear… either show us your credentials, and I do NOT mean the photo shop variety that you have put forth on the internet; but we want to see an official notarized copy of your long form birth certificate (the same one every other American has) or if you can’t produce one, then you need to get the heck out of Dodge… and don’t let the door hit you in the butt on your way out!!!

Shalom,

A Constitutional Attorney looks at ObamaCare…

Make no mistake, this is Obama’s ultimate goal…

the following article was written by a Constitutional Attorney, and he states there is nothing in our U.S. Constitution that gives Obama, nor our Federal Government, the right to do any of this!!!

Health Bill A TRANSFER OF POWER
Kills The Constitution!!!

A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed ‘healthcare bill.’

Read his staggering conclusions:
The Truth About The Health Care Bills

By Michael Connelly
Retired Constitutional Attorney
August 12, 2009

Well, I have done it!

I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009.

I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional.

What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying the law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals.

Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government.

However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated.

If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.

The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the US Government.

The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.   (New World Order??)

The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with!

I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.

This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare, direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital.

All of this is a protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if you have private insurance that is not ‘deemed acceptable’ to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be ‘tax’ imposed on you.

It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out of the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn’t stop there though.

The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;

The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork, neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.

I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights.

Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution.” If I was a member of Congress, I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights.

There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

My thanks go out to my friend, Blanton, and also to his father-in-law, for bringing the above article to my attention.

We very definitely have a rogue government in Washington DC today, that is working overtime against both our U.S. Constitution and also they are working overtime to totally and permanently dissolve our Republic, and enslave the American people.


The problem is, this has been the pattern for many years now, as our politicians, ever since 1871, have operated under a separate CORPORATE CONSTITUTION that is very different from the one that was written by our founding fathers.

Rather than abide by our original organic Constitution, which is the highest law of the land, and this has been made quite obvious with the passage of this Obama Healthcare package, plus all the stimulus and “fat cat” bailout money that both this Obama administration and Congress, and also the previous Bush administration passed, it is obvious that our elected officials (in both the Democrats and Republicans) are ignoring all the limitations of power that are ascribed to them, by our original organic Constitution; and they are fast turning our country into a Socialist Dictatorship.

Folks, is this the “CHANGE” you voted for when you elected this current undocumented worker to the White House?

The point is, if we don’t care, and if we the American people fail to act soon, then make no mistake but that our U.S. Constitution, our Republic, and all of our rights will be a thing of the past!

Please support Tim Turner, and the ongoing efforts to restore our Constitutional Republic!

To register your name, and also to be put on a list to receive updates, and more importantly to learn more about this ongoing effort to restore our Constitutional Republic, which by the way our government and the media are ignoring, and they are hoping you do the same… please go to the following website: http://republicoftheunitedstates.org/.

Please pray for our country folks, because unless God does a miracle, and unless we repent as a nation and as individuals; and unless America wakes up to what’s truly going on, and all that is happening to rob us of our freedom of choice, then the government that we are leaving to our children will be minus both our Constitution and our freedom!

Casting ALL anxieties, your worries, and your cares upon Him, for He cares for you…

Casting ALL your cares upon Him, for He cares for you…

1 Peter 5:5-7

5Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”[a]
6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you!


Live In The Unseen

Our Lord, the God of the troubled and the weary, come and save us.

I am your Savior. Not only from the weight of sin, but from the weight of care, from misery, and depression, from want and woe, from faintness and heartache. Your Savior.

Remember that you are living really in the Unseen – that is the Real Life.

Lift up your heads from earth’s troubles, and view the glories of the Kingdom. Higher and higher each day see more of Heaven. Speak to Me. Long for Me. Rest in Me. Abide in Me. No restless bringing Me your burdens, and then feverishly lifting them again and bearing them away.

No! Abide in Me. Not for one moment losing the consciousness of My Strength and Protection.

As a child in its mother’s arms, stay sheltered and at rest.

The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.  Proverbs 20:27

God’s specialty is making ways where there doesn’t appear to be any way.

The Bible is full of examples where God’s children were trapped between a rock and hard place, with no place else to turn, except to God… and each and every time, though often at the last possible minute, God came through.

These stories are written for our example to give us hope and to build up our faith in time of trouble.

Troubles in the life of every believe are a part of the trip, and Jesus said we are to expect them, and that in this life will shall experience trouble; but for us to be of good cheer (and return to JOY) because He has overcome the world, and has already won our victory for us, at Calvary’s cross.

So whatever problems have you backed into a corner today, put legs to this verse of scripture in 1 Peter 5; tie a knot at the end of your rope, and hang on… as God is right there with you, and His miracle is not far off!

Shalom,

IS AMERICA ISLAMOPHOBIC?

Is Sharia Law coming to America?

That is the plan and that is the Islamic agenda!

MUSLIMS IN 21ST CENTURY AMERICA:

IS AMERICA ISLAMOPHOBIC?

Muslims in 21st Century America: Part 23

“Is America Islamophobic?” August 30, 2010, Time Magazine

“Islam is like a wrench that moves in only one direction: theirs!”

“The so-called Muslim world exists because Islam took it over and systematically exterminated all other governments, religions and cultures—like the Borg in Star Trek,” a reader said. “Nothing has changed except that the Muslim world’s centuries-long de facto quarantine is ending and Muslims are coming into increased contact with non-Muslims.

“They bring their domination-superiority mindset with them, such as demanding a mega-mosque overlooking Ground Zero and naming it Cordoba,” said the reader. “So they can break ground for it in 2011 on the 1000th anniversary of the horrible Jewish pogrom in Cordoba, Spain.

Islam is known for infiltrating and destroying proud civilizations that underestimated them, and the last decade saw it begin assassinating Western politicians right on the street and intimidating Western governments, and press with demands that Muhammad not be insulted.”

“Who’s next, us?”

Sarah Palin would say, “You betcha!”

“Allah is an enemy of Uncle Sam and the U.S. Constitution and always will be, since he wants Sharia everywhere, even here,” said the reader.

“This is a nasty world, and freedom isn’t free. It starts with you, by studying up to Islam and its long, long history along with its ideology and terminology so you won’t be a softie for their advance men who are adept at Muslim disinformation.

“They push Islam as a ‘religion of peace’ mantra without adding that the only peace terms Allah accepts is total submission and Sharia.

“Muslim immigration must be stopped or else our children and grandchildren will pay the price.

Don’t let the liberal establishment shame you with talk of racism and intolerance.

Islam isn’t a race—it’s an ideology that’s taken over some races but wants them all. And Islam is the world’s most intolerant ideology – with them it’s like a rachet wrench that moves only in one direction, theirs.

In the August 30, 2010 Time Magazine, the editors ask if Americans feel Islamophobic?

Time editors ask a fair question. It’s being answered in the United Kingdom with balkanized and totally separated sections of London now fighting for its ‘British’ life among 2.4 million non-assimilating Muslims.

France cannot withstand its own immigrants in Paris where police cannot enter Muslim zones for fear of being killed.

Norway, Holland, Belgium and Sweden suffer horrific rapes, female genital mutilation, stonings, arranged marriages and honor killings by those same Islamic immigrants.

Today in America, we feature for the first time in history–honor killings, female genital mutilation and arranged marriages.

You may borrow any of my letter to express your ideas.

Dear Time editors: letters@time.com

Re: “Is America Islamophobic?” August 30, 2010, Time Magazine

Wouldn’t you be Islamophobic when you saw what happened to France, UK, Sweden, Holland, Norway and Belgium as to their Muslim immigrants?! Islam counters everything in Western thought, actions and culture. We don’t arrange marriages for our daughters, push honor killings, cut off peoples’ hands, engage in female genital mutilation, stone women for minor infractions, make them wear burkas and stay home in the house with no rights, and we don’t condemn other religions by telling other believers to quote the Koran, “convert or kill all non-believers.” President Teddy Roosevelt said it best, “The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, or preventing all possibility of its continuing as a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities. We have but one flag. We have but one language, English.” Frosty Wooldridge, Golden, CO

MUSLIM HONOR KILLINGS IN 21ST CENTURY AMERICA

With Islam gaining an ever greater foothold in America, we will see more and more advocates for Sharia Law.

That which most Americans find distasteful and barbaric—already manifests in the United States with seven million Muslims.

We will see violent treatment of more and more women and suffer more and more court cases of Muslim men as they kill their wives and daughters for disobeying them. You can take a person out of a culture, but you cannot take the culture out of the person.

Fox News, January 1, 2008 reported a Muslim honor killing in Garrett, Texas when a 12 year old girl and her sister called 911, screaming, “My dad shot me; I am dying.”

She and her sister died before an ambulance arrived. Reason: father didn’t like them wearing western jeans and blouses. “Honor Killing in Texas” by Robert Spencer, 01/08/2008.

“Amina Said, 18, and her sister Sarah, 17, smile happily in one widely circulating photo, and Amina is wearing what looks like a sweatshirt bearing the name “AMERICAN.” But their fate may have been the herald of a new, disquieting feature of the American landscape: honor killing. Amina and Sarah were shot dead in Irving, Texas, on New Year’s Day. Police are searching for their father, Yaser Abdel Said, on a warrant for capital murder.”

In Clayton County, Georgia, January 26, 2009, a Pakistani immigrant father, Chaudry Rashid strangled his daughter for not accepting his choice of a husband.

She wanted a divorce. She was 14 when she died. “Man Accused Of Killing Daughter For Family Honor” by Jamie Tarabay of NPR.

“Honor killings are old rites of murder within families, committed because of some perceived dishonor or shame. The United Nations estimates around 5,000 deaths occur each year — mostly of women, mostly in South Asia and the Middle East.”

In New York, February 16, 2009, FOX News, Joshua Rhett Miller reported, “The estranged wife of a Muslim television executive feared for her life after filing for divorce last month from her abusive husband,” her attorney said — and was found beheaded Thursday in his upstate New York television studio.

Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37, was found dead on Thursday at the offices of Bridges TV in Orchard Park, N.Y., near Buffalo. Her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, has reportedly been charged with second-degree murder.

America is today in the cross hairs of this Islamic agenda/revolution; and the same subtle methodology and tactics that have succeeded in Lebanon, and are moving forward today in the UK, in France, Sweden, Holland, Norway and in Belgium, is today moving forward and succeeding in the United States… and all the while America sleeps!

America today, it would seem, has been lolled into a false sense of security, and I don’t really know whether it is because of the lying liberal media that says all is well, that everything is getting better, and there are no real problems, except for the ones they make a point to talk about; or whether it is because so many people today are just so buried in their own problems, fighting alligators in their own swamp, that they can’t or don’t want to consider the possibility that what they see happening in other parts of the world might also be coming soon to America?

Satan very definitely has our country up against the ropes today, as pressure is being applied from many different angles; and whatever is the cause for this malaise and false sense of security in America… I believe it is clear that we are in for a rude awakening in America… and very soon too!

In my opinion, at the core of ALL our problems today in America, at all levels, is the fact that we as a nation have long ago turned away from, and have forgotten the God of our forefathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Also as the church in America, we long ago abdicated our position as the Spiritual Gatekeepers and standard bearers of our nation’s morality; and that position has since been passed over to the talking heads on American TV, the Hollywood crowd, and the Oprah Winfrey types on the talk show circuit… and so is it any wonder our nation is in trouble today?

As a Christian, and also as a student of the Bible, myself, I have learned that we have but to look to the history that is recorded in the Bible, to learn the patterns of how God has dealt with similar problems in the past, with the children of Israel.

For in 1 Corinthians 10 we are clearly told that these things have been recorded for our example, in order that we may benefit and learn from their experience.

The other thing that we can learn in the Bible is that when God does bring judgment upon His covenant children, it is not ever to destroy them; but it is to chasten them, and to bring them back to repentance.

Our main problem, as I see it, here in America today is how the church has withdrawn from the culture and from politics; and have left these things to unbelievers and to the agnostics to handle for them.

This is true in all position of government, in business, entertainment, finance, and in the arts… and once again I will pose the question… what else did we expect would happen?

Listen up America, the fact is our nation today is in one heck of a mess… and things are getting worse and not better!!!

We have a situation today in Washington DC, and also in many of our State and local municipalities, where the blind are leading the blind, as things are going from bad to worse by the minute!

I know I have said this many times before, and that I’m repeating myself over and over; but I will continue to beat this drum in the hope that this message sinks in, that our ONLY hope for America today, is the same as it is for the rest of the world; and that is for us to turn to our Operations Manual (the Bible), where we find that our hope is in Jesus Christ, in that we as individuals and as a nation need to humble ourselves (according to 2 Chronicles 7:14); fall to our knees and pray; as we turn from our wicked ways; and begin today to seek after God’s face… and it is only at that point that God promises to hear our prayers from heaven, and heal our land! Selah

Islam and Muslims are not the real problem, and these lost men and women are not really our enemies; and the same is true for the Globalist Bankers and what they are trying to do.

If we understand and accept what the Bible says, it is the principalities and powers of darkness that rule over these people and also the world, who are ultimately ruled by the Prince of Darkness himself, who is Satan (the Devil), and it is he who is our enemy; and it is he whom we must fight against.

Now understand me, because I am not at all saying we are to acquiesce to these ridiculous demands and forfeit our freedoms; but rather if we are to fight the good fight, we also have to defend our own country, our families, and our liberty; but we must also recognize that though these people on the other side have made themselves our enemies, and that’s true enough; but the truth is, except for God’s grace and love, and the influence of the Bible in my own life, I would most likely be right there with them, doing equally dumb things, or worse… and the point is, in the revival that is coming many of these very same people, who are today our enemies, will one day be saved!

After all, God loves them just as he does us; and the only difference between them and us is that our sins have been forgiven through Jesus Christ!

Americans need to wake up because we are fast approaching the most dangerous time in our nation’s history, and it is the decisions that we make in this time, in whether we repent and turn back to God; or whether we continue down this same God forsaken path that we are currently on, it is that decision that will determine whether this experiment in freedom, called the United States of America will be allowed to continue much beyond this point; or whether we shall be swallowed up as so many democracies before us have been, through our own excesses and apathy, to find ourselves ruled at the hands of another dictator?

The ball today is in our court… and so the admonition for all of us is to continue to watch and pray! Selah

Shalom,

The Islamization of the West is a very real threat!!!

This may very well be coming soon to your neighborhood!



PARIS – Friday in Paris. A hidden camera shows streets blocked by huge crowds of Muslim worshippers and enforced by a private security force.

This is all illegal in France: the public worship, the blocked streets, and the private security. But the police have been ordered not to intervene.

It shows that even though some in the French government want to get tough with Muslims and ban the burqa, other parts of the French government continue to give Islam a privileged status.

An ordinary French citizen who has been watching the Islamization of Paris decided that the world needed to see what was happening to his city. He used a hidden camera to start posting videos on YouTube. His life has been threatened and so he uses the alias of “Maxime Lepante. ”

Lepante’s View

His camera shows that Muslims “are blocking the streets with barriers. They are praying on the ground. And the inhabitants of this district cannot leave their homes, nor go into their homes during those prayers.”

“The Muslims taking over those streets do not have any authorization. They do not go to the police headquarters, so it’s completely illegal,” he says.

The Muslims in the street have been granted unofficial rights that no Christian group is likely to get under France’s Laicite’, or secularism law.

“It says people have the right to share any belief they want, any religion,” Lepante explained. “But they have to practice at home or in the mosque, synagogues, churches and so on.”

Some say Muslims must pray in the street because they need a larger mosque. But Lepante has observed cars coming from other parts of Paris, and he believes it is a weekly display of growing Muslim power.

“They are coming there to show that they can take over some French streets to show that they can conquer a part of the French territory,” he said.

France’s Islamic Future?

If France faces an Islamic future, a Russian author has already written about it. The novel is called “The Mosque of Notre Dame, 2048,” a bestseller in Russia, not in France.

French publisher Jean Robin said the French media ignored the book because it was politically incorrect.

“Islam is seen as the religion of the poor people, so you can’t say to the poor people, ‘You’re wrong,’ otherwise, you’re a fascist,” Robin explained.

The book lays out a dark future when France has become a Muslim nation, and the famous cathedral has been turned into a mosque.

Whether that plot is farfetched depends on whom you ask. Muslims are said to be no more than 10 percent of the French population, although no one knows for sure because French law prohibits population counts by religion.

But the Muslim birthrate is significantly higher than for the native French. Some Muslim men practice polygamy, with each extra wife having children and collecting a welfare check.

“The problem of Islam is more than a problem of numbers,” said French philosopher Radu Stoenescu, an Islamic expert who debates Muslim leaders on French TV. “The problem is one of principles. It’s an open question. Is Islam an ideology or just a creed?”

“It doesn’t matter how many there are,” he aded. “The problem is the people who follow Islam; they’re somehow in a political party, which has a political agenda, which means basically implementing Sharia and building an Islamic state.”

In Denial or Fed Up

From the 1980s until recently, criticizing or opposing Islam was considered a social taboo, and so the government and media effectively helped Islam spread throughout France.

“We were expecting Islam to adapt to France and it is France adapting to Islam,” Robin said.

About the burqa controversy, one French Muslim man told a reporter that Europeans should respect Muslim dress. One Parisian woman wearing a headscarf said “the veil is in the Koran” and “we only submit to God and nobody else.”

But even if many government elites are in France are in denial over Islam, the people in the streets increasingly are not. Some have become fed up with what they see as the growing Islamization of France.

They’ve started staging pork and wine “aperitifs,” or cocktail parties in the street. They’re patriotic demonstrations meant to strike back against Islam.  Another national demonstration is planned for Saturday, Sept. 4.

A Warning to the West

The French parliament is expected to debate the burqa law in September. Jean-Francois Cope, president of the Union for a Popular Movement political party, has a warning for the West and for America.

“We cannot accept the development of such practice because it’s not compatible with the life in a modern society, you see,” he said. “And this question is not only a French question. You will all have to face this challenge. ”

Do you think I’m kidding about the threat of Islam in America?

That is but one threat that we face today; the other is the undermining of our U.S. Constitution and the permanent annihilation of our Republic, by those within our own government!

Both are very serious, and both are going to require a miracle of God to upset the enemy’s plans… and I have no doubt, but that God will do just that!

In the natural things are not looking so good right now, however.

Just take a look at what happens every Friday afternoon in New York City:

Now mind you, as Christians we can’t even put a manger scene up in the public square at Christmas time, or have prayer in our public schools; but our liberal minded, progressive, anti-God government and our public education system is so anxious to show their tolerance of the Muslim ideology, and are so afraid of offending them, that they bend over backwards to allow them privileges that no other group in America is allowed to have.

For years now Christian prayer has been banned in public schools all over the U.S.; but now Muslims in the U.S. are demanding their prayer time and are getting it.

In 2000, Congress passed The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. This legislation demanded that accommodations were to be made on public property to allow for equal access on public property for religious activities, such as prayer, Christian clubs, and Bible Study, for religious groups, as it is allowed for other student groups and activities on campus.

And back in 1993, a federal court even mandated that a San Diego district allow its students to allow religious activities, like prayer, during lunchtime.

However, is spite of these court rulings, we are always hearing of teachers who are being censored or even fired for allowing silent reading of Scripture, by their students, during study hall; or for having any sort of display in their classroom that could be considered of a religious nature, even when such displays are historical, or of a literary nature, and are not religious at all.

Christian students are not even allowed to have student-led prayers at graduation; and students from parochial schools are denied open gym time at the local public schools in their district… even though these parents of Catholic children pay the same taxes as everyone else!

Now compare these unconstitutional and unfair restrictions that are put upon Christian groups, with what Muslims are allowed to get away with, in places like San Diego, CA; Dearborn, MI; Dallas, TX; and New York City, NY.

In these cities schools are today giving Islamic students separate breaks to pray during the school day; and in some places they are even installing foot washing facilities for Muslims; and some districts have even required non-Muslim students read the Koran.

In fact, the complaint has been made in San Diego that these extra breaks amounts to an extra recess for these Islamic students, just for the purpose to allow them to pray. This would never be done for any other group, and especially not for Christians!

Folks do you see a pattern here? I hope so; because there certainly has been a similar pattern established in every other country where Muslims have been allowed to come in and live; where eventually they just take over, through attrition; and eventually are always demanding more rights for themselves, at the expense of everyone else.

This pattern continues until there is a situation as is happening today in Lebanon, and mind you this is the goal in every country, where Sharia Law becomes the law of the land; and all other beliefs and faiths are not tolerated at all!

Now mind you, while all of this is going on in America, we also have a man in the White House today, that even though he says he’s a Christian, nevertheless, on several occasions he has sided against Christians, not wanting to offend Muslims; but apparently he could care less about offending the Christian population; and at the same time he has instead championed Islamic causes and the Islamic agenda… with the latest thing being his support of the construction of a Mosque at Ground Zero!

The trend seems to be that as the population density among the Muslims within Western nations increase; due to multiple wives and such, as their numbers increase, percentage wise, so does their political influence and leverage within the government.

Along with this increase in population and in density comes additional demands for special rights and privileges, over and above the rest of the population; and very often at everyone else’s expense… as is obvious in the above photos taken in New York City.

The lower the percent of population, the lesser their demands; but in time that always changes, as their numbers always increase, and their growth rate always eventually out strips that of the native people, in any one country… and at a certain point, they just take over!

On the Islamic front, that is the nature of the beast, and that is their agenda and strategy for world domination.

It is slow but sure, and it is only a matter of time… unless something happens to prevent it from happening.

Folks this is exact what happens when Christians allow atheists and unbelievers to take over; and then they and everyone else suffers and complains about how their society and culture is going to hell in a hand basket… but what else did they expect would happen, is my question? Go figure!

The road back for us Christians is to get off our duff; and fall to our knees; where we can repent and get right with God!

That’s the first order of business, as is outlined in 2 Chronicles 7:14; and then it is for us to be about our Father’s business, which is to reach out to this lost world for Christ’s sake, and to disciple both nations and individuals… and that also includes Muslims, by the way!

We are privilege to live in a country that allows us to do these things; but for us to continue, as before, as we have in the past, we can ill afford to allow these anti-God forces to rob us of the very rights and liberties that allows us to do these things; and to do them unrestricted and without hindrance… which is certainly what Satan would love to see happen!

Wake up America; wake up Christians… that is all I can say!

Right now the score appears to be in Satan’s favor; but we are not to look at our circumstances; and nor are we to pay attention to feelings; but we are only to look to our faith, that is based on God’s Word alone, and the faithfulness of God to always do the impossible, when all hope seems to be lost!

God specializes in doing the impossible, as a matter of fact!

They are called miracles… and we could use a few of them in our country right now; and many of us could use one or two in our individual lives about now as well.

Let’s not give up folks, and let us not give up on our hope and faith in God either… as our God still rules!

Besides, I’ve read the back of the Book (the Bible) and we win!!!

Shalom,

Skip Barland

Our nation is in trouble… and we need a miracle!!!

Uncle Sam needs you…

A Call for ALL Christians to pray for our country and

invoke 2 Chronicles 7:14, for we need a Miracle folks!!!

God’s message to His covenant children today:Isaiah 59

Sin, Confession and Redemption
 1 Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call.

2 It’s your sins that have cut you off from God.
Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore.

3 Your hands are the hands of murderers, and your fingers are filthy with sin.
Your lips are full of lies, and your mouth spews corruption.

4 No one cares about being fair and honest.
The people’s lawsuits are based on lies.
They conceive evil deeds and then give birth to sin.

5 They hatch deadly snakes and weave spiders’ webs.
Whoever falls into their webs will die, and there’s danger even in getting near them.

6 Their webs can’t be made into clothing, and nothing they do is productive.
All their activity is filled with sin, and violence is their trademark.

7 Their feet run to do evil, and they rush to commit murder.
They think only about sinning.
Misery and destruction always follow them.

8 They don’t know where to find peace or what it means to be just and good.
They have mapped out crooked roads, and no one who follows them knows a moment’s peace.

9 So there is no justice among us, and we know nothing about right living.
We look for light but find only darkness.
We look for bright skies but walk in gloom.

10 We grope like the blind along a wall, feeling our way like people without eyes.
Even at brightest noontime, we stumble as though it were dark.
Among the living, we are like the dead.

11 We growl like hungry bears; we moan like mournful doves.
We look for justice, but it never comes.
We look for rescue, but it is far away from us.

12 For our sins are piled up before God and testify against us.
Yes, we know what sinners we are.

13 We know we have rebelled and have denied the Lord.
We have turned our backs on our God.
We know how unfair and oppressive we have been, carefully planning our deceitful lies.

14 Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found.
Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed.

15 Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.

The Lord looked and was displeased to find there was no justice.

16 He was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed.
So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm, and his justice sustained him.

17 He put on righteousness as his body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on his head.
He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.

18 He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds.
His fury will fall on his foes.
He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth.

19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
When the enemy comes in like a flood,
The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.

Our nation is in serious trouble today; and we are at a crossroads of decision.

We have a rogue government in Washington DC, that no longer respects, nor honors God; and who also no longer follows our U.S. Constitution.

Our political leaders today are leading our nation headlong into what they perceive as a “New World Order;” and in their arrogance and ignorance they are spending us into financial ruin, and are leading us into bondage.

On the Islamic front, since this administration has now determined the real terrorist threat against our country today is no longer from Islam, but it is from American citizens, among those “Right-wing Christians and loyal American Veterans, and anyone who opposes abortion and who supports our U.S. Constitution, according to this administration these are the people who are today’s threat.

And so while our government has gone soft on the war on Terrorism, and this administration is trying to play footsie and make nice with our enemies, and all the while has left our southern most border with Mexico wide open, so that God knows what our enemies have brought into our country, and so while all of this has gone on… look now what has happened:


Folks, if there is any time in our history, as a nation, that we need a miracle, it is now!

There is one lesson that I think we all can learn from our Bible, that I think certainly applies to the United States today; and that is in God’s dealings with the children of Israel, we can plainly see how often He would use the enemies of Israel to bring about correction and repentance!

With that said, I think it is plain to see that the forces of evil, within our country, certainly have a head start on us, as they have been working literally for years (over 100 to be exact) to gain their foothold in our country.

There is just no way that we are going to be able to turn all of this around by any other means, except we have a miracle of God!

Satan certainly has the advantage in having had all this time to establish his roots, as we find that his agents are working all over today, within the media, and also within our government, including Congress, and the White House; among both men and women alike, who have yet to have an encounter with the Living God; but have nevertheless hardened their hearts against Him; even as Pharaoh did in Egypt, when confronted by Moses.

But then there is God… and my Bible says “Greater is He who is in us, and with us, than he who is in the world!!!”

Even Pharaoh soon learned that when it comes to God’s covenant children, he soon found out that his own abstinence and stubbornness became his own undoing!

Likewise, our country has long ago violated our covenant with God, a covenant that our forefathers made with Him, that has been the reason for all our many blessings, our prosperity, as a nation, and also our protection.

In our ignorance and in the hardness of our hearts, we have long ago removed those spiritual boundaries and landmarks that were once established by our founding fathers, and our nation today has all but turned its back upon God!

God however is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and the lesson I believe that God would have America learn today, comes right out of the pages of the Bible, in the Book of Numbers, when Balaam the Prophet of God, was asked by King Balag to curse Israel; and the king offered Balaam bribes in order to try and get him to do so.

Balaam told the king that he could not curse what God had blessed; but also added, that in order to get Israel on the outs with God, and to get them to remove themselves out from under God’s hedge of protection and blessing, all Balag had to do was to get Israel to violate and disobey their covenant with God… and that is what the king eventually did.

This is also America’s situation today, and I think a few years ago Billy Graham’s daughter hit the nail on the head:

Billy Graham’s daughter, Anne Graham Lotz in an interviewed on the Early Show, with Jane Clayson, right after 9/11, was asked:

“How could a loving God let something like this happen?” (regarding the attacks on Sept. 11)

Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said:

“I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are; but for years we’ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.

And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out; and so how can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?”

“In light of recent events…terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O’Hare (she was murdered, and her body found recently) complained she didn’t want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school … the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock’s son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he’s talking about. And we said OK.

Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. The school administrators said no faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don’t want any bad publicity, and we surely don’t want to be sued (there’s a big difference between disciplining, touching, beating, smacking, humiliating, kicking, etc.). And we said OK.

Then someone said, let’s let our daughters have abortions if they want, and they won’t even have to tell their parents. And we said OK.

Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they’re going to do it anyway, let’s give our sons all the condoms they want so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won’t have to tell their parents they got them at school.

And we said OK.”

So what is the answer, and what do we do?

Well I think it is obvious that the solution to America’s problems today, which are massive, starts on our knees in prayer; and truly whatever we do, it is going to take a miracle and an act of God to save our nation!

The road home and our reconciliation back into God’s protection and grace can only happen as we as individuals and as a nation repent, just as Nineveh once did.

Our nation desperately needs both a Revival and a Spiritual Awakening among the church; and only God can do both!

As our enemies, among the Islamic Jihad movement, are setting their traps; and as those within our government are running their Globalist agenda, and are working to undermine our Constitution, and to permanently disable our Republic, let us remember whose in charge!

The fact is, one word from God can turn all of this around!

So let us who are called by His name, continue to humble ourselves and pray; let us turn from our wicked ways; and begin to seek after God’s face; that God would hear our prayers from heaven, and would heal our land, in Jesus name. Amen.

Shalom,

Skip Barland


FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!!!


It wasn’t that long ago that our nation was embroiled in a war to rid our world of a very serious evil, called Nazi Fascism;

here it is 2010, 66 years later, and another evil called Islamic Fascism is raising its head, together with something called the “New World Order,” which is another fascist movement; and yet still today most of America sleeps.

This is as good a time as any for us to recall, and bring to remembrance, what it was we were fighting against in WW II!


This video marked the 60th anniversary of the original broadcast, which originated in Aachen Germany, in 1944.

Lest we repeat this same history once again, here in America, let us be forewarned:

26 Similarities Between America and Nazi Germany

Three Forces Destroying the America We Know

Even the most nominally aware person knows all too well that our nation-and the world-is engulfed in a major economic catastrophe.

Thanks to the variety of factors at work, some observers have characterized it as the perfect economic storm.

Yet this drama is a mere thunder shower by comparison with a far more devastating potential that threatens to wreck not just the American dream but the entire American ideal.

If this maelstrom reaches its full power, liberty and justice for all-to say nothing of the pursuit of happiness-will be wiped from the face of the earth.

A perfect cultural storm is developing from the convergence of three forces, any one of which would seriously harm our way of life. But together they portend the near certain doom of the most cherished American values.

Socialism, pagan spirituality, and pragmatism have come together over the last several decades to produce a cataclysm waiting to happen.

  • Socialism imposes the redistribution of wealth and private property through an all-powerful, freedom-robbing central government.
  • Pagan spirituality embraces the worship of nature along with occult practices and beliefs.
  • Pragmatism proclaims that the truth or worth of an idea is based solely upon the results it brings (pragmatists believe that truth is relative, situational, and that a desired end justifies any means required to reach it).

All three of these political, spiritual, and intellectual systems have taken a dominant place in the American worldview.

Doomsday-Again

It’s been said that if we don’t learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.

There are those who have even compared the rumblings in America today as similar to those in pre-Nazi Germany of the 1930s.

The fact is, these storm clouds that are today forming over our country have brought with it ideas that have been included in our public policy, our laws, and our national consciousness that bear a frightening resemblance to what has gone on before-in the worst of times.

This same collection of worldviews laid a foundation for the atrocities and godless government of Hitler’s Germany.

Adolph Hitler, you’ll recall, established the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.

He also bought into what I call One World Spirituality, a merging of the three worldviews of evolutionary humanism, Hindu pantheism, and occultism.

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

Similar Is as Similar Does

Please understand that I’m not sensationalizing when making these observations.

First Chronicles 12:32 says the men of the tribe of Issachar were called wise because they:

“…understood the times and knew what God would have them to do.”

To help you make your own assessment of the situation, I’ve distinguished 26 benchmark issues that clearly define the intensity of the tempest that is nearly upon us.

And yes, there are obvious comparisons with the growth of Nazism in Germany.

I will point them out unabashedly because it’s only reasonable to say so if something that looks similar to an earlier, dangerous historical parallel actually is similar.

After all, storm warnings, by nature, foretell bad news.

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

  1. In 1935, under Hitler’s rule, prayers ceased to be obligatory in schools. In 1962, The U.S. Supreme Court outlawed school prayer.
  2. Hitler eliminated Christian holidays in the schools first by calling Christmas “Yuletide.” Most American public schools now call Christmas vacation a “winter break.”
  3. Hitler took Easter out of schools and instead honored that time of year as the beginning of spring. It has likewise become common for schools in America to refer to time off at Easter as “spring break.”
  4. Hitler controlled the church using intimidation and threats. A half-century ago, U.S. Senator and Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Baines Johnson, promoted a bill that included an amendment to use the Internal Revenue Service to remove the non-profit status of a church that speaks against the election of any specific political candidate.
  5. Hitler enticed thousands of pastors to promote paganism in their congregations. Neopaganism is one of the fastest growing religions in America, doubling every 18 months according to a June 2008 article in The Denver Post. Many American church-goers practice paganism such as “Christian” yoga, contemplative prayer, and walking a labyrinth. As evidence that church doors continue to open further to aberrant beliefs, a 2008 survey found that 57% of evangelicals do not believe Jesus Christ is the only way to God.
  6. Hitler was an environmentalist and vegetarian. Marriages performed by the Nazi state frequently included blessings of “Mother Earth” and “Father Sky.” Today Americans increasingly accept radical environmentalism, pantheism, and the celebration of Earth Day.
  7. Hitler was fascinated by eastern mysticism. Today an increasing number of American pastors encourage their followers to become “mystic warriors”.
  8. Hitler believed in reincarnation. He even convinced SS officers that by murdering millions of Jews and other “undesirables” they were allowing them to get on with the reincarnation process and come back more quickly in an advanced status. Americans increasingly accept the idea of reincarnation as well as good and bad karma.
  9. Hitler’s holocaust killed between 8 and 11 million Jews and non-Jews. Americans have killed an estimated 50 million babies since abortion was legalized through the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973. According to a July 7, 2008 article on worldnetdaily.com “An abortionist who claims to have destroyed more than 20,000 unborn children and who once was Hillary Clinton’s OB-GYN says he is doing ‘God’s work’ when he terminates a pregnancy…He admits that abortion kills a human soul.”
  10. Hitler killed 270,000 handicapped people through active euthanasia.[1] America and the courts are rushing toward the same with the murder of individuals such as Terri Schiavo. Oregon voters passed their Death with Dignity Act in 1994 and re-affirmed it in 1997. Washington state voters legalized doctor-assisted suicide on November 4, 2008. In December 2008, a Montana judge ruled terminally ill residents of that state have the right to physician-assisted suicide, and “death with dignity” is gaining acceptance in other states as well.
  11. By 1938, all private schools were abolished by Hitler and all education placed under Nazi control. There is constant pressure from federal and many state education authorities to require that Christian schools use state-mandated, humanistic textbooks. The Home School Legal Defense Association is fighting numerous battles at any given time to prevent parents from loosing the right to educate their children as they see fit. In August 2008, a federal district court ruled that the state of California university system may choose not to recognize the diplomas-and thereby deny college entrance to-students who attended a school using textbooks that express a Biblical worldview in the areas of history and science (i.e., Christian schools).
  12. Hitler prevented dissenters from using radio to challenge his worldview. Many powerful liberals in America have made clear their intent to reintroduce the “Fairness Doctrine” that would require conservative and religious radio stations to offer equal time to anti-Christian, anti-conservative worldviews.
  13. Pastors who spoke against Hitler’s worldview and his murderous regime found themselves on trial and frequently imprisoned for “Abuse of Pulpit.” In America, hate-crime legislation has the potential to criminalize Christians and pastors who speak out against the homosexual agenda.
  14. Many Christians in Germany justified their allegiance to Hitler through a belief that “Their duty to God was spiritual; their duty to the state was political.”[2] Many American Christians now have bought the lie that their worldview can be divided between the secular and the sacred-the politician has one area of responsibility, the pastor another, and never shall the two meet. Yet the Bible teaches that all issues are fundamentally spiritual.
  15. Hitler outlawed the cross and replaced it with the swastika. Today many churches, Christian colleges, and universities have willingly removed the cross from their buildings. Numerous court cases sponsored by the ACLU have required the removal of the cross from public grounds. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that the Ten Commandments cannot be posted on public grounds for religious purposes.
  16. Hitler was fascinated with Friedrich Nietzsche and distributed his writings to his inner circle. Nietzsche promoted Nihilism, the belief that life has no meaning, and he is best known for his position that “God is dead”. Nietzsche is presently one of the most widely read authors by American college students.
  17. Hitler exploited the economic collapse of Germany to take over as dictator and usher in his brand of socialism. America’s financial crisis has given liberals in both political parties the opportunity to grow the size of government and implement freedom-robbing socialism at lightning speed.
  18. Hitler was obsessed with globalism, and many of America’s most powerful political leaders are willing to subjugate American sovereignty to contemporary globalism.
  19. Many Germans responded to Hitler by retreating into neutrality. Today most Americans prefer to remain neutral on moral issues that they think don’t affect them personally.
  20. On trial after World War II, Hitler’s henchmen used the defense that they had not broken any laws. True, they had not defied the laws of Germany since those had been re-written to fit the goals and objectives of Hitler. The Nazi leaders were nevertheless found guilty because the courts at the time recognized a “law above the law.” Yet now the U.S. Supreme Court has rejected the law of nature and nature’s God by claiming that as society evolves, morals evolve, and so the law, too, must evolve.
  21. Calling upon Darwinian evolution, Hitler convinced the German people that purging millions of people was acceptable because of the need to create a pure race; also referred to as eugenics. American students across the board have been educated in Darwinian evolution because the Supreme Court has ruled that creation cannot be taught in our schools-even if both creation and evolution are taught side by side.
  22. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood in America became acquainted with the doctors and scientists that had worked with Nazi Germany’s eugenics program and had no quarrel with the euthanasia, sterilization, abortion, and infanticide programs of the early Reich.[3] Sanger even published several articles in Birth Control Review that reflected Hilter’s White Supremacist worldview. Planned Parenthood now grosses one billion per year.
  23. In Germany, pastors often cited Romans 13:1-2 to encourage Christians to obey the Nazis. Today in America, many pastors have a false view of Romans 13:1-2 and have convinced millions that to disobey governing authorities is to disobey God. This poor training would facilitate Christians here doing just as the German Christians did if faced with similar challenges.
  24. Germans accepted socialism to avoid pain. Today’s Americans are rejecting capitalism in exchange for government-sponsored “free” healthcare, education, and countless other government handouts.
  25. Many Americans accept what I call, One World Spirituality. This is actually an amalgamation of the three worldviews of evolutionary humanism, Hindu pantheism, and occultism. I noted earlier that Hitler embraced all of these.
  26. America is rushing toward government-sponsored, national healthcare. We already have a form of this in Medicare and Medicaid. Hitler, too, expanded and centralized Germany’s healthcare system. As Melchior Palyi explained, “The ill-famed Dr. Ley, boss of the Nazi labor front, did not fail to see that the social insurance system could be used for Nazi politics as a means of popular demagoguery, as a bastion of bureaucratic power, [and] as an instrument of regimentation.”

If the church in Germany had truly acted like the Church of Jesus Christ, if Christians had understood and lived out a Biblical worldview, Germany would never have accepted Hitler.

I believe he would have been rejected and overthrown within weeks of his true worldview coming to light.

The fact is, most American church members today are simply reflecting the culture instead of correcting and changing it.

If we are to quiet the brewing storm, apathy, political correctness, and intellectual laziness must be replaced with a passion for Biblical truth, sound reasoning, logic, and the desire to lead.

Becoming a leader does not mean you must be on the radio, give speeches, or even stand up in front of a group.

An effective influencer leads through his or her actions and lifestyle.

Lovingly defending and proclaiming truth in a world bent on political correctness is being a leader.

Even in private conversation, leadership can take the form of lovingly correcting someone’s false beliefs or ideas.

America needs Christians now more than ever to take the lead.

If not, the perfect storm is ready, and annihilation is what it portends.

What happened in pre-Nazi Germany that gave rise to Hitler, is today happening in America, and make no mistake, the next Fuhrer/World Leader will be the Antichrist!

Our choice here in the United States today is either choose the pillow of a restored Constitutional Republic; or as happened in Germany, we shall get the boot and bayonet of Martial Law, followed by a loss of all our liberties; and the subsequent totalitarian dictatorship of the “New World Order”… and it is as simple as that!!!  Which one do you choose?

A call for all Americans to return to Truth!!!

A call for all Americans to return to Truth!!!

In construction, common sense and wisdom both tell us that we cannot rebuild anything and expect it to be both lasting and an improvement over the previous structure, unless we are building on a sure foundation. So consequently before reconstruction begins on a building, often it is necessary that they first tear down the super structure and repair the foundation.


To carry this metaphor over, likewise the same truth applies to the rebuilding of our government and our economy; and even more importantly, a foundation of Truth is absolutely necessary before we can restore the moral fiber of our society.


By the way, as Christians, we all recognize that Truth for us is not found in a philosophy, and nor is it found in any ideology of man; but rather Truth for the Chrisitan it is found in a person, in Jesus Christ our Lord; who said “I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE!!!”

Surely we all understand this when it comes to rebuilding our home; but there is no difference, because whether we are talking about rebuilding a house or a nation, our having a sure foundation is imperative; and anything that is built on a lie or on compromise is destined to fail, and it is only a matter of time before it does.

But if America does not know the truth of what happened in its history that brought us to where we are today, then how can they correct it?

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels

The alternative of us continuing in the same lie and compromise is not acceptable; which will certainly happen if we allow the same corrupt system and influence to continue on in the future, that is the very cause of our nation’s demise.

That would be the absolute worse thing that could happen, that we as Americans return to the same corrupt system that put us in this mess; and that we as a nation remain on this same merry-go-round, that we have been on for the last 100 years, and the very same lie, that is the very cause of our nation’s decline!

We need to wise up folks, because unless we start over and rebuild our nation on truth, without compromise, then anything less will not last, and it will not be of help to either us, nor to our nation.

What I am telling you here is not an option folks, we have to restore our original organic Constitution and our Republic, just as our founding fathers intended; and at the same time we must once and for all get rid of this fraud upon the American people, called the UNITED STATES CORPORATION!!!

Whether you are a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent, this applies to ALL Americans, that we cannot hope to turn our nation around unless we are first willing to face the truth, and correct the lie!!

Question: why is something this important not discussed and exposed in the media?  Why isn’t it discussed and exposed in Congress?

Well, the reason is the people who are operating as the gatekeepers of our media are bought and paid for by the Globalist Bankers, as are many  of our elected representatives in Washington DC, at least among those who are the power brokers, who have the muscle and weight in both influence and control our national policy; which by the way, also includes many of the talking heads in the media too. And this is true to the extent they are able to sway and manipulate public opinion through the spin that is given to the news.

These people are NOT working for “We the People” at all; but they are working for the U.S. Corporation, for the purpose of implementing their “New World Order!”

That’s the reason why they have passed over 800 Billion Dollars of Stimulus and Fat Cat Bailout Legislation, over our objections!

And this is exactly the reason why our government is so corrupt today, and why our economy is in shambles, and getting worse everyday; it is because we are not operating as a Constitutional Republic, and we haven’t been since 1871!

Now all of this is a fact of history, and you can choose to ignore it if you want, but don’t expect any change or improvement until we begin to fix what’s broke in our country, and we restore both our original Constitution and our Republic!

Also, as Americans, we all need to be praying for and standing with this lone man, this patriot, Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin (see article below), who is taking this brave stand really for ALL of us, on the side of truth and honesty; in the face of one of the worse travesties of truth and justice in the history of our nation, in that we have sitting in the White House today a person who is not at all what he appears to be; and worse we have a Congress that looked the other way and allowed this travesty to happen.

This is my point exactly, that we cannot even hope to rebuild our nation, our economy, or anything else, unless we first are willing to face the truth; and start by rebuilding our foundation as a nation, as our forefathers did… on Jesus Christ!

Shalom,

Skip Barland


Sign on today and restore the United States Republic!

General: Obama records
‘critical’ to ‘our republic’
McInerney: Eligibility issue ‘of such magnitude
that its significance can scarcely be imagined’

Posted: August 31, 2010

By Bob Unruh


WorldNetDaily

A retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant general who commanded forces armed with nuclear weapons says the disclosure of Barack Obama’s documentation proving his eligibility to be commander in chief is critical not just to the defense of an officer challenging the president’s status, but to the preservation of the nation itself.

The vehement statements came in an affidavit from retired Lt. Gen. Thomas G. McInerney, a Fox News military analyst, that was disclosed today by an organization generating support for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin.


Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin

Lakin had invited his own court-martial because he is unable to follow orders under the chain of command with Obama at its head unless the president’s eligibility is documented.

A hearing is scheduled in Lakin’s court-martial case Thursday at which a ruling is expected on defense requests for the very evidence that McInerney is citing.

The general, who retired in 1994 after serving as vice commander in chief of USAF forces in Europe, commander of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing and assistant vice chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force, among other positions, said the chain of command issue is critical, since officers are obligated both to follow orders and to disobey illegal orders.

See the movie Obama does not want you to see: Own the DVD that probes this unprecedented presidential-eligibility mystery!

“Officers in the United States military service are – and must be – trained that they owe their highest allegiance to the United States Constitution,” he said in the affidavit.

“There can be no question that it is absolutely essential to good order and discipline in the military that there be no break in the unified chain of command, from the lowliest E-1 up to and including the commander in chief who is under the Constitution, the president of the United States. As military officers, we owe our ultimate loyalty not to superior officers or even to the president, but rather, to the Constitution.”

He continued, explaining, “good order and disipline requires not blind obedience to all orders but instead requires officers to judge – sometimes under great adversity – whether an order is illegal.”


“The president of the United States, as the commander in chief, is the source of all military authority,” he said. “The Constitution requires the president to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to hold office. If he is ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined.”

Lakin is being supported by the American Patriot Foundation, which said the affidavit is for use in Lakin’s trial, scheduled Oct. 13-15, as well as Thursday’s hearing on the evidence to be allowed in the case.

The group said McInerney is the highest-ranking officer yet to lend public support to Lakin.

A recent poll showed that only about 4 in 10 Americans believe Obama’s story of being born in Hawaii.

McInerney’s affidavit “acknowledges widespread concerns over the president’s constitutional eligibility and demands the president release his birth records or the court authorize discovery,” the foundation said.

Lakin’s defense counsel has asked for the president’s school records as well as a deposition from the custodian of Obama’s birth records that may exist in Hawaii.

The hearing is scheduled at 11 a.m. Thursday at Ft. Meade, Md., at the courthouse at 4432 Llewellyn Ave., inside the military base. The court is open to the public.

Lakin is a physician and in his 18th year of service in the Army. He posted a video asking for the court-martial to determine Obama’s eligibility.

He is board certified in family medicine and occupational and environmental medicine. He has been recognized for his outstanding service as a flight surgeon for year-long tours in Honduras, Bosnia and Afghanistan. He was also awarded the Bronze Star for his service in Afghanistan and recognized in 2005 as one of the Army Medical Department’s outstanding flight surgeons.

McInerney commanded forces equipped withi nuclear weapons.

“In my command capacity I was responsible that the personnel with access to these weapons had an unwavering and absolute confidence in the unified chain of command, because such confidence was absolutely essential – vital – in the event the use of those weapons were authorized,” the general wrote.

“I cannot overstate how imperative it is to train such personnel to have confidence in the unified chain of command. Today, because of the widespread and legitimate concerns that the president is constitutionally ineligible to hold office, I fear what would happen should such a crisis occur today.”

He said Lakin is acting “exactly” as “proper training dictates.”

“It is my opinion that LTC Lakin’s request for discovery relating to the president’s birth records in Hawaii is absolutely essential to determining not merely his guilt or innocence but to reassuring all military personnel once and for all for this president whether his service as commander in chief is constitutionally proper.

“He is the one single person in the chain of command that the Constitution demands proof of natural born citizenship,” he continued. “This determination is fundamental to our republic.

“According to the Constitution, the commander in chief must now, in the face of serious – and widely-held – concerns that he is ineligible, either voluntarily establish his eligibility by authorizing release of his birth records or this court must authorize their discovery. The invasion of his privacy in these records is utterly trivial compared to the issues at stake here,” McInerney wrote.

Lakin is represented by military counsel and by Paul Rolf Jensen, a civilian attorney from California who has been provided to him by the American Patriot Foundation, a non-profit group incorporated in 2003 to foster appreciation and respect for the U.S. Constitution.

The foundation says the Army’s opinion of Lakin was made clear in an evaluation just before Lakin raised the issue of eligibility.

From Col. Dale Block: “Dr. Lakin is an extremely talented, highly knowledgeable senior Army clinician … he can always be counted on to provide me with expert advice. … LTC Lakin is clearly one of the top clinicians in the Northern Regional Medical Command. He has superb clinical skills, rapport with patients and staff. … Terry is the best choice for tough assignments. … Already on the promotion list to colonel, he should be groomed for positions of greater responsibility.”

But Lakin, the foundation says, has been compelled to act because he swore an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. Obama’s eligibility to be president has been questioned, he argues, and Obama has refused all efforts to obtain documents that could determine his eligibility.

The controversy stems from the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which states, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”

A number of challenges and lawsuits have been based on the constitutional requirement, some alleging Obama does not qualify because he was not born in Hawaii in 1961 as he claims. Others say he fails to qualify because he was a dual citizen of the U.S. and the United Kingdom when he was born, and the framers of the Constitution specifically excluded dual citizens from eligibility.

Complicating the issue is the fact that besides Obama’s actual birth documentation, he has kept from the public documentation including his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records, baptism records and his adoption records.

Lakin declined to follow deployment orders after he tried through military channels to affirm the validity of orders under Obama’s command and was rebuffed. He had been scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan again.

Lakin is not the first officer to raise questions. Others have included Army doctor Capt. Connie Rhodes and Army reservist Maj. Stefan Cook.

In at least one of the earlier disputes, the Army simply canceled the orders rather than allow the argument to come to a head.

Lakin’s attorneys have said they now are demanding “discovery” of Obama’s records, and that in such a dispute that information is critical. The multitude of civil cases that have been brought over the Obama eligibility dispute all have failed to reach that process because of federal judges who have ruled on issues generally involving “standing.” The judges have concluded that damages from an ineligible president suffered by the plaintiffs would not be more for them than any other member of the public, so there is not a specific damage or danger.

Lakin’s counsel, Jensen, has explained that the Lakin case is different, since his client is being processed on criminal charges over the issue – a status that puts him in imminent danger of specific and personal “damages.”

The courts already have shown a weakness on the subject of Obama’s records. The discovery-of-evidence issue previously was raised in court by attorney John Hemenway, who was threatened by a federal judge with sanctions for bringing a court challenge to Obama’s presidency.

Hemenway is serving in emeritus status with the SafeguardOurConstitution website. Hemenway brought a previous court challenge, now on appeal, on behalf of a retired military officer, Gregory S. Hollister, who questioned Obama’s eligibility.

The Hollister case ultimately was dismissed by Judge James Robertson, who notably ruled during the 2008 election campaign that the federal legal dispute had been “twittered” and, therefore, resolved.

Robertson sarcastically wrote: “The plaintiff says that he is a retired Air Force colonel who continues to owe fealty to his commander in chief (because he might possibly be recalled to duty) and who is tortured by uncertainty as to whether he would have to obey orders from Barack Obama because it has not been proven – to the colonel’s satisfaction – that Mr. Obama is a native-born American citizen, qualified under the Constitution to be president.

“The issue of the president’s citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered and otherwise massaged by America’s vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama’s two-year campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court,” Robertson wrote.

Then the judge suggested sanctions against Hemenway for bringing the case. Hemenway responded that the process then would provide him with a right to a discovery hearing to see documentation regarding the judge’s statements – not supported by any evidence introduced into the case – that Obama was properly “vetted.”

Hemenway warned at the time, “If the court persists in pressing Rule 11 procedures against Hemenway, then Hemenway should be allowed all of the discovery pertinent to the procedures as court precedents have permitted in the past.

“The court has referred to a number of facts outside of the record of this particular case and, therefore, the undersigned is particularly entitled to a hearing to get the truth of those matters into the record. This may require the court to authorize some discovery,” Hemenway said.

The court ultimately backed off its threat of sanctions.

In a separate case, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threatened sanctions against attorney Mario Apuzzo. The court quickly backed off, however, when Apuzzo noted that under the rules of court procedure, being subjected to sanctions and penalties would give him the right to discovery in the case, possibly including Obama’s birth certificate.

The Constitution requires a president to be a “natural born citizen,” and, while the term is not defined in the Constitution, many legal analysts believe at the time it was written it meant a person born in the U.S. of two U.S. citizen parents. Critics say Obama clearly does not qualify under that definition, since he has admitted in his book his father never was a U.S. citizen. Some legal challenges have argued he wasn’t even born in Hawaii.

Tim Adams, a former senior elections clerk for Honolulu, has said there “definitely” are problems with Obama’s Hawaii birth story.

“As of the time I was in Hawaii working in the elections office we had many people who were asking about the eligibility of Senator Obama to be president. I was told at the time there is no long-form birth record, which would have been the case if President Obama was born in [a] hospital in Honolulu. There is no such form in Hawaii,” he said.

Lakin had posted a YouTube video challenging the Army to charge him over the issue.

As WND reported, Lakin posted the video of his challenge to Obama to document his eligibility March 30.

In his latest video, Lakin said the issue of evidence is important:


Note: A legal-defense fund has been set up for Lt. Col. Terry Lakin.

ASK YOURSELF IS THIS THE CHANGE YOU SIGNED UP FOR?

Americas need to ask themselves if this is the change they signed up for?

Well like it or not, this is the CHANGE that is just around the corner if you don’t wake up!!!

On the subject of our Constitutional Liberties ALL Americans had better learn to stand together, against the forces within our government that would usurp those liberties, or our U.S. Constitution and all our liberties will soon be a thing of the past! Let us learn our lesson from history.

This video from 2007 is still relevant:

What you don’t understand is our two party system, between the Democrats and Republicans in the U.S., has been corrupted from the top down; until regardless of which party holds office, they are both like two sides of the same coin!

DEMOCRAT — INDEPENDENT — REPUBLICAN

Look at the list below at what all your Congress has done for themselves; and remember all their recent unbridled spending of over $800 billion dollars of your hard earned dollars to bail out the banks, over your objections no less; and by the way much of this money is now unaccounted for; as many of you are today asking yourself just who are these guys working for?

Listen up folks, your country (as you know it), your U.S. Constitution, and all your liberties derived from that Constitution, are about to be a thing of the past, if you do not act.

The handwriting is on the wall, and for those who are Christians, who have also read your Bible, and certainly anyone who is a student of history, certainly none of these people have any excuse, for you both have been forewarned.
Look at what your U.S. Congress has voted for themselves: Subject:  Retribution is less than 5 months away!

Take a look at this and just remember elections in November 2010.

1.     U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.

2.     They voted to NOT give you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.

3.     Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years

4.     You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.

5.     Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.

6.     Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000

7.     Do you feel BETRAYED?

8.     Will your cost of drugs – doctor fees – local taxes – food, etc., decrease?

9.     NO WAY.

Congress received a raise and has better health and retirement benefits than you or I.

  • Why should they care about you or me?
  • You never did anything about it in the past did you?
  • Obviously they believe we are simply too stupid or just don’t care.
  • Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barney et  al care about you?

Send the message to these individuals — YOU’RE FIRED!

In 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!

Make sure you’re still mad in November 2010 and remind their replacements not to screw-up.

It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.  Maybe it’s time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution..

“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .”

Let’s get this passed around, folks – these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves!  It’s time for retribution.  Let’s take back America .

Understand this, if you don’t forward this to all your friends than you are just another part of the problem of national apathy!

You would think that Christians, meaning all those who have committed their lives to Jesus, and are also students of the Bible, you would think that they would have a pretty good understanding of what’s going on, and why; but that is sadly not the case.

For anyone today who really wants to know the truth about what’s really going on, I would first suggest that they read their Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to lead them and guide them into all truth; even the truth that the present day media has sought to keep hidden from us all.

This process of dumbing America down has been a well planned and thought-out process that has been going on for literally over 100 years.

Our media, the entertainment industry, our government, and our public education system, all of these institutions have been engineered to condition the American people towards the modern “Politically Correct” and so called progressive way of thinking; and whether you know it or not, you have been conditioned to believe and to accept a lie!

Case in point: put a man in the White House, George W. Bush, and call him a Conservative Republican, who also said that he was a born-again Christian, and most Americans bought it… myself included!

Later I find out what his true core beliefs are regarding God and the Bible, and they are not even close to Christian orthodoxy, as it is taught in the Bible.

I learned this after listening to an interview on TV, just prior to him leaving office, when George W. Bush admitted that he believes, to use his words, “that there are many paths to the All-Mighty;” and that people of other faiths, even Muslims can also be saved. He also said in that same interview that he doesn’t take the Bible literally.

Also you will note that the powers that give this government the right to rob us of our Constitutional Rights, many of them were enacted and signed into law through Executive Orders that were signed in to law by former President Bush.

And then later it came out in an interview with Laura Bush, after leaving the White House that she actually has always supported same sex marriages and Pro-Choice.

Today we have a man sitting in the White House, who from all available evidence isn’t even a citizen of the United States, who was raised in Islam, from his earliest childhood. He also has been groomed and mentored all of his life, leading up to his present political career, by died in the wool anti-American Socialists; and even one guy who was a sixties terrorist; but of course he also says that he is a Christian too, and that he believes in Jesus Christ… and there are a good many people who believe him.

Only problem is he has also, on live TV, admitted that he believes all roads lead to heaven; that Muslims and even atheists can go to heaven, who don’t accept Jesus Christ as Saviour; and he has even been recorded mocking the Bible and Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

This man, Obama, also supports the “Gay Agenda,” “Same Sex Marriage,” and “Abortion;” and yet America nevetheless voted him into the White House!

The truth is, this lying and corruption that is so prevalent in politics today, has been going on for years and years; and it didn’t just begin with the Clintons, or the Bushes, or Obama… but it actually started in the U.S. way back in 1871.

This is when the Act of 1871 was established, the act that first established the District of Colombia.

THE UNITED STATES CORPORATION – the Columbia Organic Act of 1871

Here’s a little history that you didn’t learn in school, but that ALL Americans need to know today!

Team Law ^ | trustee@teamlaw.orgPosted on Sunday, December 29, 2002 10:49:44 AM by RFP

HISTORICAL FACTS:

from Team Law

1st: In 1863, Lincoln instituted martial law. He ordered that the states (people) either conscribe troops and provide money in support of the North or be recognized as an enemy of the nation.

This martial law Act of Congress is still in effect today – what it means is that the President has dictatorial authority to do anything that can be done by the government in accord with the Constitution of the United States of America. This is the foundation of Presidential Executive Orders.

2nd: The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 created a private corporation (hereinafter “Corp. U.S.”) owned and operated by the actual government for the purpose of carrying out the business needs of the government under martial law.

This was done under the constitutional authority for Congress to pass any law within the ten mile square of Washington, District of Columbia.

3rd: In said Act, Corp. U.S. adopted their own constitution (United States Constitution), which was identical to the national Constitution (Constitution of the United States of America) except that it was missing the national constitution’s 13th Amendment. The national constitution’s 13th, 14th and 15th amendments are respectively numbered 14th, 15th and 16th amendments in their constitution.

4th: The corporation began to generate debts via bonds etc., which came due in 1912, but they could not pay their debts so the 7 families that bought up the bonds demanded payment and Corp. U.S. could not pay.

Said families settled the debt for the payments of all of Corp. U.S.’ assets and for all of the assets of the Treasury of the United States of America.

5th: As 1913 began, Corp. U.S. had no funds to carry out the necessary business needs of the government so they went to said families and asked if they could borrow some money. The families said no (Corp. U.S. had already demonstrated that they would not repay their debts in full).

The families had foreseen this situation and had the year before finalized the creation of a private corporation of the name “Federal Reserve Bank.”

Corp. U.S. formed a relationship with the Federal Reserve Bank whereby they could transact their business via note rather than with money.

Notice that this relationship was one made between two private corporations and did not involve government; that is where most people error in understanding the Federal Reserve Bank system-again it has no government relation at all.

The private contracts that set the whole system up even recognize that if anything therein proposed is found illegal or impossible to perform it is excluded from the agreements and the remaining elements remain in full force and effect.

6th: Almost simultaneously with the last fact (also in 1913), Corp. U.S. passes and adopts (as if ratified) their own 16th amendment. It must be noted that this amendment has nothing to do with our nation, with our people or with our national Constitution, which already had its own 16th amendment.

The Supreme Court ruled that it did nothing that was not already done other than to make plain and clear the right of the United States (Corp. U.S.) to tax corporations. We agree, considering that they were created under the authority of Corp. U.S.

7th: Next (also 1913) Congress passed and entered the 17th amendment as ratified, even though the states had no opportunity to ratify the same. This amendment is not only not ratified, it is not constitutional; the Constitution forbids Congress from even discussing the matter of where Senators are elected.

8th: In 1914, the Freshman class and all Senators that successfully ran for re-election in 1913 by popular vote are seated in Corp. U.S. capacity only.

9th: In 1917, Corp. U.S. enters WWI and passes their Emergency War Powers, and Trading with the Enemies Acts.

10th: In 1918, President Wilson is re-elected by the Electoral College but their election is required to be confirmed by the constitutionally set Senate; where in the new Corp. U.S., only Senators were allowed to participate in the Electoral College vote confirmation.

The only authority that could possibly have been used for electoral confirmation was corporate only.

Therefore, President Wilson was not confirmed into office for his second term as President of the United States of America and was only seated in the Corp. U.S. Presidential capacity.

Therefore the original jurisdiction government’s seats were vacated because the people didn’t seat any original jurisdiction government officers.

11th: In 1933, the Trading with the Enemies Act is adjusted to recognize the people of the United States of America as enemies of Corp. U.S.

12th: In 1944, under the Bretton Woods Agreement, Corp. U.S. is quit claimed to the International Monetary Fund, and becomes a foreign controlled private corporation.

13th: Some time after 1935, you ask Social Security Administration for a relationship with their program. They create an entity with a name (that sounds like your name but is spelled with all capital letters) and a depository account number in the Social Security General Trust Fund (GTF).

They give you the Social Security card which identifies you as the single person with authority to control the entity they created (on review: you may notice that the Social Security Administration was the creator of the entity, the GTF is its beneficiary and you were made its Trustee.)

More importantly: this capacity does not limit you or your capacity to act in your sovereign capacity in any way.

14th: In 1968, at the national governors’ conference in Lexington, Kentucky, the IMF leaders of the event proposed the dilemma the State governors were in for carrying out their business dealings in Federal Reserve Notes (foreign notes), which is forbidden in the national and State constitutions, alleging that if they did not do something to protect themselves the people would discover what had been done with their money and would likely kill them all and start over.

They suggested the States form corporations like Corp. U.S. and showed the advantages of the resultant uniform codes that could be created, which would allow better and more powerful control over the people.

15th: By 1971, every State government in the union of States had formed such private corporations (Corp. State), in accord with the IMF admonition, and the people ceased to seat original jurisdiction government officials in their State government seats.

Now, having stated these historical facts, we ask you not to believe us, but rather prove these facts for yourself.

We then ask you to contact us with any evidence you find that proves or disproves these facts.

When you find there is no error, then remember these simple facts and let no one dissuade you from the truth.

The Bottom Line: when you speak about these private foreign corporations, remember that is what they are and stop calling them government.

Further, it is very important that we cease to attempt to fix them. It is far more important that we learn how to reseat our original jurisdiction government and spread the word about the truth. By reseating our State and national governments in their original jurisdiction nature, we gain the capacity to hold these private foreign corporations accountable.

They owe us a lot of money, in fact they owe us more money than there is available in the world. The fact is that it is impossible for them to pay and that gives us the leverage we need to take back our nation and put things right. The process is a simple one. The difficulty is in getting our people to wake up to the truth.

That’s why we ask you to prove the truth for yourself and contact us with the evidence you discover.

That means that you must stop acting and communicating like you are anything other than the sovereign that God created you to be. And, stop referring to Corp. U.S. or the STATE OF ‘X’ as anything other than the private foreign corporations that they are. And, finally, stop listening to the Bigfoot Patriot mythology that is espoused by those that only give these facts lip service.

It is time that we all start to wake up and follow the truth, that is to repent and become a moral and honorable society instead of lauding our Christianity while we stand guilty of:

a)     not knowing the truth;

b)    not living the truth;

c)     believing that God will save us even though we have the tools to know the truth the ability to use the tools but we refuse to live by the truth and use the tools we have to save ourselves and thereby become free.

The biggest problem with the so called Patriot Movement is that its proponents are all excited about uniting against the tyranny of Corp. U.S. even though they are blind to the truth, have no remedy, and bail out of “the system” hell bent for a rebellion that even the scripture says cannot be won.

Would that we could instead unite with truth and legally, lawfully and peacefully reseat our original jurisdiction government to take back control our nation.

Americans today truly are as the metaphorical frog in the pot of water, who started out in comfort, and ended up being cooked.

Likewise, the American people have been soaking so long in the relative comfort and ease of this prosperity that has been provided them, that they haven’t wanted to consider this history that I have just mentioned; but instead have just enjoyed the ride.

Well the party is now about to come to an end; because the funds, in U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES, which is nothing but fiat money (meaning it is worthless), is about to run out; and yet still so many Americans have chosen to remain in the pot of water, even though the temperature is obviously going up.

Well as happened with the proverbial frog, there will soon come a time for them, these Americans with their heads in the sand, when it will be too late for them to get out, under their own power!

The Congressional Budget Office just released a report, I learned just the other day, that says unequivocally that this UNITED STATES CORPORATION (of course that’s not that term they used, but it is what it is) is about to default and that it is evitable… and it is just a matter of time, before it happens. Some are saying it will happen before the November elections.

Well guess what folks the laws of economics still apply, and all this unbridled spending that has been going on all these years, that today has caused our national debt to rise to over 13 Trillion dollars, is about to topple this house of cards, called our American Economy!

America needs to wake up, because our country is on its last leg today; and some very evil and corrupt people are standing in the wings to establish their own “One World Government,” and monetary system, should we fall.”

Listen to three videos that will help shed some light on who these people are, that would control the world:

For anyone who has any knowledge at all about the Bible, and the warnings of Jesus, it should be very clear that we today are living in that time, and we are that generation, predicted and prophesied by Jesus Christ, that He said would see His return to earth.

We are also that generation that He said would experience firsthand what He called “A Time of Sorrows;” that He said would be the worse time this world has ever experienced in all of history.

Where the United States will be in this time of sorrows; and whether we will be, what the Bible calls, a “Sheep Nation” or a “Goat Nation,” has not been written in stone.

This is the choice that ALL America faces, in a little while as predicted will happen by the Congressional Budget Office, once the UNITED STATES CORPORATION goes bust, what they didn’t tell you is that afterwards Martial Law will be implemented, at which point ALL our Constitutional Rights will be gone, probably for good; and as happened in pre-Nazi Germany, our government will then be taken over by a dictator.

Question: is this what you want for your children and all future generations?

If not, then let us, We the People of these United States, let us restore our Republic; and lets get rid of these corrupt and self-serving criminals and traitors that we have now in Washington DC!

Let us replace them with honest men and women who will abide by our Constitution, and will keep their oath of office to truly preserve, protect, and defend it.

As just one example of many, as to the ever increasing encroachment on our rights, I just got this today from a friend, and it is coming soon to your neighborhood:

Friends:

Please pass on some positive prayers and thoughts of support for my client Mr. John Atkins.  John has been trying to help the homeless for many years now.  He picks up a few loaves of bread or other food and shares with a few people at a park near his home in Corona.  We had to ask the City of Corona to lay off a couple of years ago and it looked like they were going to leave the issue alone.  Not so.  I have attached a copy of the letter I had to send today along with a copy of the citation issued to John.  This is causing him a lot of stress and he has had very serious heart problems in the past.  He does not want to stop helping those in need and I can’t really find it in myself to tell him to stop.  The story from some time ago can be found at http://www.pe.com/localnews/rivcounty/stories/PE_News_Local_W_ticket06.229f9da.html .

Unfortunately, John has been charged with a misdemeanor for “operating a food facility” without a permit.  He has been charged by both the County of Riverside and the City of Corona, who were waiting for him a couple of Sundays ago.  He showed up with a few pieces of chicken to share with those he cares about.  The reality is that anyone of us taking a BBQ meal to the park for a birthday party could be cited for this same alleged violation.  I am hoping to resolve this peacefully, but likely have to file a lawsuit so that John can exercise his basic right to associate with those he cares about and for his right to help others.  While this might seem basic, that’s just the point.  Anyway, John’s appearance in Court is set for October 21, 2010.  I would like to file a motion to dismiss the case and do what I can to protect his rights so that this does not happen again in the future.

I would ask that you take a few minutes to uplift John and his faithful adherence to Matthew 25.  He is not a self-professing Christian — in fact, he just lives out what he believes (caring for the homeless and bringing happiness to those he may not even know).  I think this is something we can all appreciate.

We will have to raise a little money for his case in order to pay for court costs and related items.  Any help would be appreciated as well.  If you can help, please feel free to send a few bucks to www.profamilylegalcenter.com for the John Atkins case.  Any help is tax-deductible.  If we are able to resolve his case, then any help will be used for similar cases in which I serve as counsel.

So the choice is this… either we get the pillow of the Restored Republic, or the boot and bayonet of Martial Law and the subsequent dictatorship of the New World Order… which one do you choose for you and your family?

We as Christians need to wake up, and whatever strategy or plan the Lord has that will save our nation and turn us around, it won’t happen unless we as a nation humble ourselves and repent; and implement 2 Chronicles 7:14; which calls for all those who are called by His name, of those called “Christians,” to humble themselves and pray; turn from their wicked ways; and begin to seek after God’s face (meaning personal relationship); and then and only then does God promise to heal our land.

Support the reestablishment of our Constitutional Republic!

Also, please note that whereas this interview (below) was recorded in July, the reason you have not heard about it is there has been a news blackout on this issue by the major media. Note also, that though there have been lots of problems to sort through, and there have been some delays and detours that had to be taken, nevertheless the Restored Republic is  still under way and is moving forward. Please pray for Tim Turner, and for the  continued success of this movement that we can save our Republic and preserve our liberties,  for our sakes,  for the sake of ALL our children, and for ALL future generations!

Please note that since the recording of this interview, the organization that is headed up by Tim Turner is no longer called the “RESTORED AMERICAN PLAN;” but it is now called the “THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES.”

For information on the ongoing efforts regarding the restoration of our Constitutional Republic; to register, and to sign up for updates, please go to the following website:

The Parable of the Wedding Feast

1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.”‘

5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10

So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.


11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.


13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and[a] cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’


14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”

COMING TO HIS TABLE

An old gospel song has profound meaning for me. It says, “Jesus has a table spread / Where the saints of God are fed / He invites his chosen people, come and dine.”

What an exciting prospect: The Lord has spread a table in the heavenlies for his followers!

Jesus told his disciples, “I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom” (Luke 22:29–30).

Hungering for him means that, by faith, we also are seated at this table.

When the apostle Paul instructs, “Let us keep the feast” (1 Corinthians 5:8), he means let us understand clearly that we have been assigned a seat in the heavenlies with Christ at his royal table.

Paul is saying, “Always show up. Never let it be said your seat is empty.”

The sad truth is that the church of Jesus Christ simply does not comprehend what it means to keep the feast.

We do not understand the majesty and honor accorded us by having been raised by Christ to sit with him in heavenly places.

We have become too busy to sit at his table. We mistakenly derive our spiritual joy from service instead of communion.

We do more and more for a Lord whom we know less and less.

We run ourselves ragged giving our bodies and minds to his work, but we seldom keep the feast.

The one thing our Lord seeks above all else from his servants, ministers and shepherds is communion at his table.

This table is a place for spiritual intimacy, and it is spread daily.

Keeping the feast means coming to him continually for food, strength, wisdom and fellowship.

Ever since the Cross, all spiritual giants have had one thing in common: They revered the table of the Lord. They became lost in the vastness of Christ. They all died lamenting that they still knew so little of him and his life.

Our vision of Christ today is too small, too limited.

A gospel of “vastness” is needed to overcome the complicated and growing problems of this wicked age.

You see, God does not merely solve problems in this world—he swallows them up in his vastness!

Someone with an increasing revelation of Christ’s vastness need fear no problem, no devil, no power on this earth.

He knows that Christ is bigger than it all. If we had this kind of revelation of how vast he is, how boundless, measureless, limitless and immense, we would never again be overwhelmed by life’s problems.

Paul is an example to us. He was committed to having such an ever-increasing revelation of Christ.

In fact, all he had of Christ came by revelation; it was taught to him at the Lord’s table and made truth to him by the Holy Spirit.

Remember, it was three years after his conversion before Paul went to spend time with the apostles in Jerusalem, and he stayed with them only fifteen days before continuing his missionary journeys.

He later said, “By revelation he made known unto me the mystery” (Ephesians 3:3).

The Holy Spirit knows the deep and hidden secrets of God, and Paul prayed constantly for the gift of grace to understand and preach “the unsearchable riches of Christ” (Ephesians 3:8).

The Lord is looking for believers who are not satisfied with sifting through all the conflicting voices to find a true word. He wants us to hunger for a revelation of him that is all our own—a deep, personal intimacy.

http://www.worldchallenge.org/en/devotions/2010/coming-to-his-table

It would seem that this sad state of affairs is even more true today, than ever before; as people today are much too busy with their own lives, doing their own thing, to be concerned about the things of God.

Most today, it would seem anyway, though they talk about God often, and many are religious, and some even attend church once in a while, but few there be that really know and love God… for even Jesus says, “To love God is to obey Him!”

I believe it was Saint Augustine who once said, “To know Jesus is to love Him; and to love Him is to want to serve Him.”

I believe it was also Augustine who said, “Love God with ALL your heart, mind, and soul, and do as you please;” meaning anyone who truly understood the supreme sacrifice and awesome love, which God bears for ALL His beloved children, they would never intentionally hurt Him!

I remember this story that was once told me about this man who was homeless, and lived in the streets of this particular town.

The lord of the town took pity upon him, and went down and picked him up out of the gutter; and brought him to his mansion to live, as a member of his family.

He cleaned him up and made him his adopted son, and invited him to come sit at his table.

This man was so grateful for this obvious demonstration of love and kindness that was being demonstrated towards him, that even though he possibly didn’t understand all the rules of his new home, he was very careful not to track mud into it; and he bent over backwards always to please his master, out of his love and gratefulness for all his master’s kindnesses towards him.

Likewise, this is our situation, whether we realize it or not.

God has invited us to come sit at His Heavenly Banqueting Table with His Son, Jesus Christ; and God forbid that we should be too busy with our own affairs and our own lives that we ignore His gratious invitation, as so many did in the above parable.

The wedding garment, by the way, that the one man failed to have on, is the Righteousness of Christ, provided when we accept by faith His atonement on Calvary’s cross, for the forgiveness of our sins.

This man obviously was trying to get in by some other way, other than through Jesus Christ… perhaps he didn’t think he needed a Saviour!

As a side note, we have had two presidents whose views on the Bible and the Christian faith show a marked ignorance in both the Bible and the Christian faith. 

Obama has been recorded mocking the Bible and the Sermon on the Mount; and also has been recorded as saying Muslims and Athiest can go to heaven.

Former President Bush, who though he also claims to be a Christian, has said much the same thing as Obama; when he says that all faiths lead to and have a belief in the same God. The Bible clearly says otherwise.

The words of both of these men stand in stark contrast to the words of Jesus Christ, who said that “He was the ONLY Way, the Truth and the Life; and that no one can come unto the Father, except through Him!” (John 14:6)

Let us not take this offer for granted, and miss our only opportunity for forgiveness and reconciliation back into God’s family!

Make no mistake, but that your only opportunity to avail yourself of this awesome gift and privilege is in this lifetime, between your entry into the world, at birth; and your departure, at death.

This means that for every individual, who has yet to commit their life to Jesus Christ, and be Born-again, their window of opportunity is getting narrower with the passage of each day; and there is no opportunity beyond this life for them to be reconciled to God!

Listen up people, do not take this for granted; and put off until tomorrow something you need to do right now; for tomorrow is not guaranteed to any one; and the truth is every breathe we take, and with every beat of our heart, it is all only by God’s grace.

So don’t be so self sufficient and prideful to think you don’t need God!

God created you, and He has provided you with your life and all that you have; but His purpose for doing so was always to have communion with each and every one of His Kids… including you, because He loves you!!!

This estrangement that happened as a result of SIN, which is our nature by the way, which is characterized by our independence and our tendency to want to do our own thing, and be the masters of our own destiny, all of which by the way we inherited from our father Adam… and let me be very clear here, because if a person is unrepentant (meaning they don’t change this way of thinking) and if they keep this independent attitude, it will bar them from God’s Kingdom forever. and they will find themselves in the same situation as the man in the parable (above) who didn’t have on his wedding garments!

Jesus Christ is both Lord and Saviour… do NOT leave home without Him!!!

Shalom,

Skip Barland
