I heard Donald Trump talking to a group this morning on the squandering of the USA by China and what should be done about it.  Brilliant man.

We are importing China-made junk in excess daily with no deterrent from doing so.  It is cheap to do this.  Cheaper than American-made.  And this has pushed American-made goods to the wayside.  Nothing is made here any longer.

Donald Trump voiced his unpopular opinion that something must be done to stop this.  We import Chinese goods but China does not buy anything of ours!  Mr. Trump suggested that we impose a 50% tax on all goods imported into the USA from China.  Great idea.  But would it work?

Yes.  A 50% tax would deter businesses from importing Chinese goods and this would act as a boost to American-owned businesses to begin producing again.  But we can't just stop at China.  This 50% importation tax must be placed on the goods produced in ALL countries or what would stop Mexico or Vietnam from becoming the next China? 

The point is to begin production here in America again.  I think a 50% tax would do this.

Most Americans are unaware of what is really taking place around them.  We get so caught up in the mindless garbage pumped out by the press and trivial nonsense broadcast from the idiot box, that our minds are cluttered to capacity.  We have gone into information overload and have shut ourselves down.

So why is it so important that America becomes aware of the American Stonehenge?  Because the stones there - engraved in 8 different languages - spell out exactly what is to transpire in the very near future.  Unless America wakens from its slumber.

Known as the Georgia Guidestones, they sit on one of the tallest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia.  Four giant slabs supporting a common capstone, upon which are engraved a *new* 10 Commandments.

But let me curtail the story here to paint a little background.  The stones had their beginning in June 1979.  It was then that a man calling himself R. C. Christian contracted with the Elberton Granite Finishing Company to erect the gargantuan monument.  Its purpose: to transmit a message to mankind.

The man expressed that he represented a group of men who desired to offer a new direction to humanity.  Then the man disappeared.  The monument has been built in recognition of Thomas Paine who wrote The Age of Reason, a book written with the intent on destroying Judeo-Christian beliefs.  Beliefs upon which the American Republic were founded.

Besides the enigmatic R. C. Christian, stranger still is the message written on the stones.  10 Commandments of another god.

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.

3. Unite humanity with a living new language.

4. Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.

5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.

6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.

7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.

8. Balance personal rights with social duties.

9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite.

10. Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature.

Now what would it take to accomplish commandment number 1?  500,000,000 would require the elimination of 9/10 the world's population.  And this is planned.  More on this in a moment.

Guiding reproduction - selective breeding - or infertility.  This too is a part of the population control being espoused.

The other commandments seem balanced and fair - with a tinge of hope and good.  When they speak of "prizing truth" or "seeking harmony with the infinite", who could argue?

I will not go into the entire discussion of who built this stone - or why.  Be as it may, the stone exists and it spells out a coming doom.  There is a group that meets in secret.  A group of world leaders that have as an agenda the items writ on these stones.  Is it any wonder that the commandments are in several languages and not just English?  This is no mistake. 

This is a world government that is being spoken of - and pushed forward in secrecy.  Already the dominoes are beginning to fall into place.  There is just one Nation that stands in the way - America.  Here we have a final vestige of freedom in hope.  Here we can take back the reigns from these evil men/women who want to destroy Christianity and God.

Yes, the 500,000,000 goal - the elimination of 9/10 the world's population will take place through the infiltration of the food supply (unhealthy additives) and through forced vaccinations allegedly used for healthy purposes but used in secret to break down the immune systems of the population.  Why?  The goal is to spread illness and disease.  And if our immune systems are not there to stop the disease - we get sick - and we die.

What have we to fear from these stones?  The evil behind them.  They meet in darkness with an evil agenda - it is AntiChristian to be certain.

1. Reduce the World's Population.  What an evil thought.  No love for humankind who has been told by God the Creator to "be fruitful and multiply".

2. Promote Environmentalism.  Worship Nature.  Not God.  Use the issue of Environmentalism as a crutch to push forward the agenda.

3. Establish a World Government. 

4. Promote a New Improved Spirituality.

Welcome to the New World Order.  But... it hasn't happened yet.  Not completely. 

There are things that can yet be done to stop the traitors who answer to no-one in their tracks.  We the People of these United States of America can stand up - hopefully before it is too late.

We need to:

1. Eat Healthy.  Start eating home-grown foods and/or organic.  Stop eating the processed foods found in stores filled with unhealthy immune-conquering additives that are making us sick.  Think about it.  Has there ever been as rampant levels of Cancer as there are now?  Don't you think there might be a cause behind this?  Eat healthy and build your immune system naturally.  Pharmaceuticals (under the banner of the twisted serpent) do not and can not make one healthy.

2. Stop vaccinating our children.  The additives to these vaccinations will cause a slow death and sterilisation.  Being added to vaccinations now is aluminum and squalene (the ingredient found in the Anthrax vaccine that caused so many to get sick).  "Let your food be your medicine" - Hippocrates - father of Modern Medicine.

3. Begin taking a stand.  Write your congressman/senators.  Join together with like-minded people.  Spread the news.  The evil exists but it is few in number.  We the People awakened can put an end to the foolishness.  And by the Grace of God we will.
 
 
 
 
I was reminded today of how frail life really is.  Someone I know passed in his sleep the night before last.  No-one saw it coming.  He seemed to be in relative good health and then this.  His wife attempted to waken him the next morning and found him unresponsive.  Sad.

He leaves behind a wife and many children - little children that now must live without their dad. 

Makes me stop and think - to put life in proper perspective.  I never got to say goodbye to him.  In fact, I am not even certain what my last words were.  We never know in this life when we will be seeing someone for the very last time.  With this thought in mind, we should be ever encouraging and loving to all we meet - and never ever take anyone or any moment for granted. 

We should stop and tell family and friends how much they mean to us.  Because... it may be the last time we have that chance.

My heart goes out to Dave and his family this day.  I know how hard a death in the family can be.  My paternal grandmother passed recently and Dave was there.  He took the time to come out and pay his respects to her.  And what would he have done differently had he known that in just a few short months, he too would be drawing his last breath.

Dave had a good heart.  I think in many ways he was misunderstood.  I wish his family comfort in this hour of need.

Live each moment as if it were your last.  Be thankful for the loved ones and friends you have in your life.  And by all means... tell them how you feel about them.   
 
 
When I was a boy I used to really enjoy my summer vacations.  Summer meant that time of the year that my maternal grandparents would return from their winter home in Florida and I eagerly awaited their arrival with anticipation.

Because I lived adjacent the church building where my grandparents and parents attended, I could easily hitch a ride to my grandparents home for a week at a time - and I often did.

I enjoyed spending time with my grandparents.  They would tell very fascinating stories which I soaked up like a sponge.  The elderly have lived very special and unique lives.  Many of them have gone through things that we today wouldn't be able to survive and read about only in history books.  They lived and have many stories to tell.  Sadly... most won't listen.  I did.

But that's a story in itself and a bit off track. 

There were a couple neighbor boys whom I befriended and we would do everything together - as boys do.  From daybreak to dusk.

One such game we enjoyed playing was Frisbee Golf.  The point was to hit in the fewest shots a predetermined target adding the points received from each "hole" together as in the normal game. 

My grandparents yard and my friends yard were not big enough to allow proper play so we went next door to the Geldhof's Greenhouse where behind the large building structures sat an enormous (in child's eyes) uncared for field which made for perfect golf.

One day - I remember it well - we were playing Frisbee Golf in that field and my Frisbee went down amidst the tall grass.  I couldn't find it.  I beckoned Steve and Danny to assist me in my search.

Eventually we found my Frisbee not at all where I suspected and I was surprised to see that it had come to rest against a circular object buried in the dirt - only the rim of the object exposed.

I grabbed a short stick and proceeded to dig the object from the dirt.  Apparently it had been buried for quite some time as the dirt was hardened around it.  Inside the rim was a dead bee.

I cleared the object from the dirt.  It was a coffee cup.  Strange thing to find buried in the dirt.  As it was time for lunch anyhow, we stopped playing Frisbee and I took my new find back to my grandmother.

We rinsed the cup thoroughly clearing all the soil and my grandmother washed the cup with the noon dishes.  Here is a picture of that cup.
Picture
Now I forgot all about that cup over the years until recently.  My parents decided to move from my childhood home into a larger dream home.  This cup had been stored by my mother in a china cabinet within plain sight.  Never thought about it again until she decided to return it to me.

What makes the cup so special? 

After High School graduation, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.  My first and only duty assignment in the Marines was with the VMFA-121 Green Knights.  When I first joined the squadron, they were a sea-going unit - aboard the USS Ranger CV-61, an aircraft carrier out of San Diego, California.  The very ship pictured on the cup!

Mere Co-incidence?  You decide.

Civilian airlines are required by the FAA to have one each CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) and FDR (Flight Data Recorder).  The CVR records all incoming/outgoing radio transmissions and other sounds from within the cockpit.  Typically, when a crash occurs this device can be used to gain an understanding of what went wrong using the last words of the pilots.  The FDR is a device that records and monitors common parameters such as altitude, direction, and airspeed.

Both of these devices are set to emit a locator beacon for 30 days once a crash occurs.
Picture
You may remember the recent civilian Air France 447 airline crash into the Atlantic.  The 447 was enroute from Rio de Janeiro to Paris when she mysteriously crashed into the cold waters below.  Hopes were low that any debris would be discovered or that the "black boxes", a term used to refer to both the CVR and FDR, would be found within the short 30-day window.  

After all, the area was enormous.  But... the black boxes WERE discovered to the astonishment of all.  Discovered even though the crash area was several miles across and the water even deeper.
Picture
Now it is important to note a few pertinent particulars concerning the black boxes.  First, they are not black.  They are a very bright orange to make the sighting of them as easy as possible.  Also, they are double-wrapped within a corrosion-resistant titanium shielded from within with extreme temperature insulation.  In other words, these devices are built to withstand air crashes, extreme heat, and drops from the sky.  And they are ALWAYS recovered.  ALWAYS.

Now here is the point of my interlude.  I have always felt something was "off" in reference to 9-11.  There are just too many things that don't add up.  With one that stands out in my mind - swarming with questions.

Now before I am written off and improperly labeled as a "crackpot", "conspiracy theorist", or Anti-American, I will thwart off all naysayers with the following facts: I am a Marine and I am a Patriot.  It is difficult to be one without being the other.  As a Marine I had the distinct privilege of serving my country in time of peace and in war.  I was sent into the Persian Gulf Arena to defend Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's Iraqi forces.  I love my country and take seriously my oath of service: to defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL ENEMIES foreign AND domestic.

I was also an Avionics Technician by trade in the Marine Corps.  That was my job.  I first worked on the A6-E Intruder and later transitioned to FA-18Ds.  So I am more than familiar with airlines - civilian and military.

That being said, here is an issue I have with the "official" 9-11 Commission Report that Americans are expected to swallow.  It is a bitter pill that doesn't go down smoothly.

According to the report, the four black boxes of the airlines that crashed into the twin towers of the WTC were NEVER recovered.  How can that be?

After the disaster all debris was immediately moved into a hanger at the JFK airport where - to the best of my knowledge - it still is.  How could it be that these bright orange titanium boxes built to withstand extremely high temperatures and designed to emit a 30-day homing beacon, were never found?  

NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE FOUR... according to the report.

I have one thing to say to this "official" finding.  But being a God-Fearing Christian Man I will not.  However, there is something extremely out of place here.  And there are other things as well.  Things I would rather not delve into in this writing because there is no way to prove my thoughts to be true.

But one cannot deny the fact that the official report states the black boxes were never recovered even though the entire wreckage was removed.  The only way this could be possible were that the boxes were removed prior to both planes departure - which is not likely.  Even if it were, this would indicate a prior knowledge and capabilities which the alleged terrorists did not have.

I fear that we have enemies within our own gates.  Yes, enemies of the Constitution are here on our own soil.  They masquerade as Americans... but they are not.  I am not referring to Middle-Easterners.  I am not referring to any kind of foreigner.  I am referring to those who would act to destroy the Constitution, the American way of life, and the Christian foundations and principles upon which this Nation was founded.  

God... Country... Corps.
 
 
What are the chances?  Everything happens for a reason.  All things happen in good time - as the Lord God Creator deems appropriate.

Ron Wyatt is now deceased.  He had nothing to gain from his discoveries other than an express love for his Lord and Savior - Jesus.  In his short time as an an "amateur" archaeologist, Mr. Wyatt made some amazing - and proven - discoveries!

Some of Ron's discoveries include: Noah's Ark, the Red Sea Crossing, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Ark of the Covenant (remains unearthed).  All of these discoveries can be viewed on YouTube.  You be the judge.  I believe that God used Mr. Ron Wyatt to bring these historic relics/events into our modern era as a means of proving His (God's) existence and Biblical accuracy. 

What are the chances that the exact location where Christ was crucified could have been directly above the place where the Ark of the Covenant was buried?  What are the chances that some of the blood shed fell upon the Mercy Seat of that Ark?  And what are the possibilities that that blood when lab tested would have - not 46 - but 24 Chromosomes (23 X, 1 Y)?  This would mean that Jesus' physical characteristics all came from his mother.  Could an Almighty God have accomplished these seemingly impossible tasks?

Watch Ron below in a discussion of that blood.

Just in time for the Christmas season, Yanni surprises his fans with his very first Christmas song featuring the vocal talents of Nathan Pacheco and Chloe. 

This song does not disappoint.  What an absolutely beautiful rendition of one of my favorite Christmas songs. 

Nathan's deep voice being called "the voice of the century" can hit some high notes with relative ease and Chloe's unique voice charms listeners with a hypnotic style all her own.  Together the duo explodes in a crescendo of pure audio delight.

If you love "Cantique de Noel" - you are going to love Nathan and Chloe with Yanni at piano.

Thank you Nathan.  Thank you Chloe.  And Thank you Yanni.

This song is available as a single from both Amazon.com and iTunes.

 
 
Why do most self-help programs fall short?

You've seen the type... the person who will buy every self-help program under the sun... who has spent hundreds of dollars to better self – but never seems to hurdle the fence of success. Why?

All self-help programs focus on changing a person through affirmations, positive beliefs, or instilling new habits, but they seem not to work for most people. It is not that the programs are wrong or that what is being taught does not actually work, but because the person's mind has not changed. That person is not prepared to take in the new material because the “gatekeeper” into the subconscious is sealed shut by old belief systems that kill the new beliefs before they have a chance to grow.

So how do we get past the gatekeeper?

I think the best way of sneaking past the gatekeeper undetected is subliminally. Advertisers often use subliminal messages to get their products in the mind of the consumer. It works. Studies have been done on the topic of subliminal advertising and wrong or right – the studies conclude that the ads work and work very well. A brief frame showing an overflowing buttery popcorn bucket with a coke shown during a movie will cause the audience to hunger and thirst. Sales of popcorn and coke will increase.

So why can't we do the same thing for self-help programs?

I have found one company that does this well. I have sampled and tried a few of their programs and believe in them. It is a company with a technology patented with the U.S. Government and backed by numerous independent studies by leading universities proving the results.

InnerTalk

It's called InnerTalk. It focuses on a whole brain approach to get the message across – to sneak it by the gatekeeper. Through repetitive listening, you will find that the old belief systems no longer hold solid. They no longer have you captive. You will change. Visit their site today for further information.
 
 
I have an enormous 100+ self-help success book collection.  Most of the books simply rehash the same material presenting it in a way that might make it unique but often failing to do so. 

A couple weeks ago I came across a new book at Barnes & Noble by Florence Scovel Shinn, an American spiritual teacher from the 1920s.  The book is entitled The Game of Life and How to Play It and really is a compilation of Ms. Shinn's self-published works with the title being her largest.

In my opinion, these works are what most self-help books today are lacking - complete.  Why do I say this?  Because Ms. Shinn INCLUDES the Creator God in her writings.  In fact, according to Ms. Shinn, the affirmations work BECAUSE there is a Creator Being.  Now what new-age philosopher or writer is going to say that?  I dare say that modern teaching is a step in the wrong direction. 

What present-day teachers are passing as truth is that mankind can raise to new heights through one's own workings.  No God is needed.  In fact, they are stating that what we call God is nothing more than the Universe.  Everything that exists is God.  This means the air we breathe is God.  The chair I'm sitting in at this moment is God.  We are God.

I don't buy it.  We are NOT God.  But God has put into place certain universal laws that we can use - should we discover them.  The laws are created as we are created.  They are not God.  Neither is the Universe God.  The Universe and all that exists is the Creation of God.  Here is where modern teachers are missing the point.

If you want to read a self-help success book that puts God in proper perspective, then pick up a copy of Ms. Shinn's book.  It is only $8 through Amazon.com or $10 at Barnes & Noble.  Very affordable and worth every cent.
