- Human beings are truly amazing creatures. While naturalists
and others shed countless tears for wildlife driven to extermination, it
seems even fewer people can grasp the complexity, capability and adaptability
of the human beings.
-
- There are countless things humans can do that no lower
animal life form will ever do. Whales, porpoises and elephants are often
thought of as being as smart as we are. Even though these creatures have
been around far longer than us have any of these animals ever been
into Earth orbit? Or created a computer? Animal rights people need to get
a life and wake up to who and what we are.
-
- There is something inherent within each of us requiring
a mystical being or deity to worship. This desire and need has been exploited
for effective control by those in power since time immemorial. History
has shown that when we seek out someone or something to worship, it can
become the downfall of a society. Think about Moses coming down from the
mountain and seeing that his people built a golden calf to worship. While
the cat's awaythe mice will play.
-
- In ancient times, a cave served as a place for the masses
to visit someone called an oracle. Deep in the dark, damp cave sat the
drug-enhanced human Oracle of Delphi. She muttered out answers to tough
life questions about the future could be obtained often amid. The Oracle
sat in a chair over a crack in the floor, from which hallucinogenic vapors
from deep in the Earth arose. It gave her a special ability to see the
future. Was the trip for the Oracle as good as LSD? We shall never know.
-
- People seek out someone, or even a cause to help justify
our existence to ourselves. It might be called a sense of purpose. Rules
and laws for any club, group, religion or cause are always ready for newcomers.
-
- While sitting in a hospital waiting room a few months
ago I picked up a Rotary International magazine. The organization was something
I had pondered joining after hearing good things about them.
-
- That is, until I read the message from their president
found just inside the cover. The president of Rotary International described
how the organization began as a social club. This was a warning sign of
what else was to come on that one page of text.
-
- With incredible boldness, the president stated what I
quote here as accurately as I can: "We only want a certain type of
person to become Rotarians. Only after careful consideration by a member
should someone be invited..."
-
- Yikes! This snobby statement stuck like super-glue in
my head. I had no idea just how hoity-toy they are and what lofty thoughts
they have of themselves. This is also how men are invited into the free
masons, too. Interesting parallel is it not?
-
- There is a local restaurant my wife and I go for a date.
Each week in a banquet room Rotary meetings are held. There are probably
around 30 to 40 people in there. The room has two doors to it. One doorway
has a movable accordion partition which is drawn shut, and the other is
a simple doorway near an outside door.
-
- While waiting for dinner to arrive at the table one night
during which the local Rotary happened to be meeting, I wandered over by
the door without an accordion partition. As I came around the corner, a
woman was standing there wearing a Rotary name badge. My presence immediately
got her attention as though she was standing guard there. She must have
made some gesture to the person speaking. The room suddenly became very
quiet until I moved out of her sight. Then the lecturing continued. What
could so secret that the unwashed should not hear? Maybe I should bug the
room next time and find out
-
- As I flipped through the Rotarian magazine in the hospital
waiting room, I noticed several blurbs and ads listing locations for "makeup
meetings." That's right I soon learned that Rotarians MUST attend
a certain number of meetings every month! And if they don't make it to
the one they normally attend, they are expected to attend another meeting
somewhere else to make it up! Talk about a cult-like mentality. It's amazing
that in this day and age that people will allow themselves to be ordered
around and pay HEAVY monetary dues for the privilege and perform
expected community or overseas service at their own expense.
-
- This is like the initiation scene in the film Animal
House where a young man is on his knees in the basement. He is being paddled
by a hooded and robed figure, and with each heavy swat of the paddle the
man cries out, "Thank you sir, may I have another!" For the Rotarians,
make up meetings are their proverbial paddling.
-
- Make up meetings are yet another example of how sheep
are herded. Is it any difference than running home from work to switch
on network news, to "see what's going on in the world?" If I
were a betting man, I'd bet a million dollars that many web surfers and
readers of alternative news websites like rense.com were once people that
never missed network news. Why? It was because very few of us knew any
better. It was how our parents lived and did us as adults, too.
-
- But what of worshipping idols or seeking out a cause
to participate in? Rotarians are just one example of how people love to
be told what to do. And they will do it. To most readers this is inconceivable.
But it was western and eastern cultures alike that used this weakness in
the human psyche to gain control. Not only does it work but it works incredibly
well.
-
- Does it matter if at home you have a small shrine with
a pagan god, a fat little Buda statue or a statue of the Virgin Mary? It's
all idol worship. The major difference being that in Christianity God commanded
followers to never worship idols. And yet Catholic churches have idols
wall to wall. Go figure. But idols are idols just the same.
-
- It is the cross that is so very perplexing. Although
strongly associated with Jesus Christ's crucifixion, the cross was used
to execute thousands of prisoners for all types of minor crimes against
the state. The cross is like a primitive version of television it
sends a powerful visual message to those who see it in use.
-
- Capitol punishment is not about punishment at all. It's
about sending a message to those who haven't got in trouble yet. The cross
was the primitive version of the electric chair, gas chamber, firing squad
and now the chemical cocktail given intravenously.
-
- Some years ago, we had to put down a cat. We bought the
cat at a humane society for just $40.00. We took it to the vet
after we heard it tumble down the basement steps. After several expensive
hours in an oxygen tent with intensive care, and a few hundred dollars
later, the doctor's suspicions were confirmed feline Leukemia. The
female cat was about 6 years old. First, our two small children came into
the room to say goodbye to her. Then a small hypodermic was loaded with
a purple euthanizing solution, injected, and the animal was dead literally
in a matter of seconds. The effect was lightning quick - not even a whimper.
No wonder the children were brought in first the drug was VERY fast.
-
- So why is there all this drama using THREE different
chemicals to execute condemned prisoners? To drag out the killing process
of course - otherwise known as THEATER. Again, this is all about sending
a message to the living. Ever wonder WHY there has to be a number"witnesses"
to an execution? What's the point? A doctor is always present at EVERY
state execution to make sure they did the job right.
-
- The witnesses really have just one function to
tell the tale of what they saw to the world. Again, it's another way to
control the population using a fear-based tactic.
-
- Jesus was not the first to die a terribly painful death
upon the cross. Yet this instrument of torture is found on the inside and
outside of most Christian churches. (Before the emails pour in, let me
state the Mormon Church believes in Jesus Christ and has no crosses inside
or out. It is probably the one exception to Christian churches..)
-
- It's difficult to comprehend getting a good spiritual
feeling attending church while the cross, an instrument of torture, stands
like the Sword of Damocles high over the minister while he rants on and
on. Yet millions of Christians just don't see this connection.
-
- Having been raised in the Lutheran church, seeing this
dichotomy every Sunday troubled me greatly as a child. If something must
be dangling high up, wouldn't the face of Christ be a far better choice
than a cross? Of course I realize what the cross stands for. If there is
going to be a cross, why not add the Flagrum to the cross to make a matched
set. This was one of the Roman whips used to torture Jesus along with the
crown of thorns. Then of course there is the Crucifix, which is only missing
the Flagrum
-
- Idols come in countless forms for countless purposes.
Some years ago I was asked to do technical work for sound, lighting and
effects for a local church production. Before rehearsal one night the director
hung up a small silver necklace on a nail she hammered onto the rear of
a flat (a flat is a thin wall used for scenery/sets.)
-
- I said, "Why did you hang that on the flat? Did
someone lose it and you're putting it there for them to find it? It might
get lost if it gets bumped or caught on a prop." Looking at me sideways
with a sudden stern look she said "That's the medal for our patron
saint St. Genesius to protect us." Feeling a bit stupefied at this,
the only words I could muster out of my mouth was "OhI see."
But I'm sure my facial expression conveyed my befuddled mind.
-
- How is it possible that a lucky charm hanging on a nail
will make the production go well? This is yet another mystery bordering
on paganism.
-
- Our world is plastered with all manner of beliefs, such
as symbols and Gargoyles on tall buildings. Gargoyles look like a lawsuit
waiting to happen if one comes crashing down.
-
- When catholic missionaries in African and South American
countries had problems getting head counts in church, they compromised
with the local people's beliefs. Small statues of pagan gods were permitted
to be stored inside the altar. And this worked great. People came to church
and were secretly worshipping their own gods, while the Christian members
were worshipping theirs. Seats were filled and no one cared. This was probably
the first version of "Don't ask, don't tell" in history.
-
- Politics is no exception. Many of us saw this happen
with Ron Paul. Sadly, thousands of ignorant people thought of him almost
like he was a god who would save America from tyranny. I saw
this madness and wrote about two years ago (1/2008) [1] asking what will
these people do when he quits? As predicted this reaped some very hateful
emails. Some of these threatened to come beat me up if I didn't retract
my words. I told them, "Its public knowledge where I live. Go right
ahead and try." But no one showed up.
- Remember how Ron Paul's supporters (i.e., worshippers)
were known to be sleeping on the floors of homes of fellow supporters each
night for a place to stay. Some quit their jobs to support him full time.
There are grass-roots supporters and those who smoke grass.
-
- Ron Paul himself was somewhat upset about these followers
doing this to themselves and spoke about it publicly more than once. At
the time I was more concerned for those who dumped everything they worked
for in life to support a man they would never meet and who would
never give them a job in his administration even if he did win. Why? His
regular campaign field offices were already packed with his best future
nominees. Then Ron Paul suddenly quit and went home keeping those millions
of dollars. (Big surprise there) All his supporters went quietly back into
the woodwork. I've often wondered where they are today.
-
- Many of us KNEW Paul could never win. He was not playing
the game as prescribed by promoting the party line of tyranny as the hidden
controllers wanted him to. Before and during the election the media acted
as though he hardly existed.
-
- Sometimes people aren't all that much smarter than sheep.
-
- But then sheep don't build themselves idols or worship
them. They just follow the sheep in front of them right over a cliff.
