Very Dumb Government

How To Reclaim Your Brain: Part 2

2012-02-11T19:11:00.000-08:00

     In the first installment I covered my general experiences about being a brain-washed drone to being able to utilize more common sense. The problem most of us have is either a government weenie tells us to do this or to do that, or some wack-job religious teacher scares us with various teachings of the Bible which may or may not be true. The religious teachers are the most dangerous people on the planet because a man's religious fervor is stronger than his political proclivities. Once he is thoroughly ensconced in his religion, it becomes very difficult for him to believe in any other religion or in any other idea. He can then be manipulated into giving up his own life for a belief that may or may not be true. I've been through most types of Christian beliefs, and I can confidently say that everything today that is passed off as Christian is not. So how do we separate ourselves from those things that are questionable. How do we reclaim our brains and start thinking for ourselves?
   We have to understand that there are two major areas of operation in the physical and the spiritual realm: God the creator and His goodness; Satan, Lucifer, and his evil. Since man has a freewill, he has the choice between good and evil. Here is where you reclaim your brain. I'm going to assume that most of the readers know the commandments and have a good idea what is natural law.
     With all the religions in the world, how we know God? That's easy. He would be the one who created everything we see and don't see. That is the God we are responsible to and of course His commandments are important. How do we know what commandments we are supposed to keep?
Most of them are obvious and can be rationally thought out through the use of reason. Because the commandments are always present within the natural law and they can be confirmed without the use of a book.
   Let's look at the commandment of not having any false gods before Him and not to make any graven images. It's obvious that mankind is to worship God the creator only, and it would be stupid to worship something that is created. Remember, the created cannot be worshiped. So then any false religious doctrine should be ignored because it will draw us over to the darkside. We don't want to worship a satanic delusion. In my experience in "Christian" churches, I have seen so many false doctrines that I couldn't keep track of them all and I saw it in every church. In fact, I can safely say that I have never seen a Christian church. If it wasn't for some of the earlier Christian writings, I would have given up on it long ago.   If there is false doctrine, then there is idolatry. In order for me to preserve my own well-being and not offend God, I no longer go to any church. If a doctrine is false then the whole organization is on the darkside. If you go into various churches you will see statues. Are they not graven images? If they were true to their own Bible they wouldn't have them in the churches. So when you see them, you know that you are in a church that is evil.
     Of course this is hypocritical to say one thing and do another, but it is useful for us to recognize them for what they are and then just stay away from them. And that is our immediate solution. It is better to simply separate oneself from the spiritual nonsense. We will always be tempted to offend God and this is the spiritual battle with which we are all involved.
     Your best evidence is in the natural law. Anyone can write a book, but a book has too many opportunities for someone to lie or to make gross errors. The Bible isn't any different. The Bible has many conflicts in "moral character." While I believe that there is a lot of truth in the Bible, even that has to be double-checked to make sure what I am reading is true. In these two examples, it is easy to understand that we are not to worship that which is created. Why worship a statue that was made with a man's hands. Why worship a god who is a lie? Just because some preacher holds the Bible and says that it is the word of God, doesn't mean that it is true. Every writing has to be checked with reason and common sense. God didn't put in a bunch of secret codes that only the chosen few would understand. I believe that God put the commandments in nature and in us, and he made them simple to obey. If we go outside of them, then we waste our lives.
     When we choose good then our lives become enjoyable. When we worship God we need to do it in truth, then we will benefit from the life that He gave us.
     Now, the Bible claims that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. How do I know that is true? Well, it may be, but it doesn't make any difference because Christ told people to keep the commandments and the gospel said he is God. So if I worship the God who created me, and Jesus Christ was a true historical figure and was indeed the Messiah, then I am essentially worshiping the same person. But if Jesus Christ is false, and some jerk made up the stories, then that could draw me into idolatry. I'm not willing to take that chance. I do believe there is a hell, because all of the evil people have to go somewhere. I believe the soul of a man is immortal and it makes sense to do things the right way so as not to offend my creator.
     What this does for me is to stop all the religious arguments. I don't have to go from one chapter and verse to another to make a point. And I am or was very accomplished at that, but then I realized that if it wasn't true, I would be spreading some liar's nonsense to innocent hearers. All I am expected to do is to fear God and keep His commandments because I was created that way. All men and women are subject to the same God because in nature we all live on the same planet. If we flushed all of the religious groups down the toilet (symbolically speaking), then most of the commandments would be kept and mankind's troubles would be greatly diminished. That would be a very advanced society. I know this works because I can see the benefit from it when I behave myself.

Goodbye J.C. Penny: Les Be On Our Way

2012-02-08T15:07:00.000-08:00

     My family have been lifetime customers of J.C. Penny's, however, with the hiring of Ellen Degenerate..or whatever her name is, I will no longer be buying anything from this company. I'm sick and tired of the homosexual agenda taking over everything being in-your-face with it. It seems like us heterosexuals just don't have a place in society anymore. I sent in a complaint to their customer service department today and this is how they responded:
"As we focus on being in sync with the rhythm of our customers' lives and operating in a 'Fair and Square' manner that is rooted in integrity, simplicity and respect, we couldn't think of a better partner than Ellen DeGeneres. We are extremely proud to have her on our team."
    In other words, J.C. Penny essentially told me to stuff it. So, I will focus on my right to never purchase another thing from this company as long as I have breath. I will focus my "sync and rythmn" on admiring nice women who raise decent children. Homosexuals are on the wrong side of God's law and natural law and there is no benefit in becoming one. Yes, they have a right to choose that for themselves, but the are ruining their lives. They are lazy and don't want the joy or the responsibility of raising a family under God's laws, so they take the easy way out and pervert themselves with their stupid activities. I see this response as snotty, arrogant, and probably a homo wrote it. They are destroying everything. If homos like destroying their lives, then they will have to live with the consequences, but in the meantime, I wish they would go back into the closet.
   The best course of action by those of us who are still heterosexual is to stop purchasing from this company, or any other company who promotes the homosexual agenda. That would probably mean that you'll have to stop watching TV, stop going to movies, do your own interior design, and homeschool your children.

How to Reclaim Your Brain: Part 1

2012-02-08T11:31:00.000-08:00

      If you are anything like me, I have realized in the last few years that I was completely brain-washed to the point that most of the government and religious information was completely useless. The reason is that these two groups of people lie so much, that it is almost shocking when they tell the truth; which confuses things even further. When something is written down, we really don't know if it is truthful information and without error.
     When I was put in prison, I discovered that I had a brain and I could use it. After being isolated, I discovered just how damaging regular media outlet can be. I began to spend my time just thinking about things, rather than being lead around by the nose. Even though I was in prison, I felt like I was becoming emancipated from the daily onslaught of the various medias. I found it odd that I could feel free while being physically enslaved in prison. I thought I was going to go into convulsions without a computer. But the opposite actually happened. I started to enjoy the peace and quiet.
     Now, I try to bring in more accurate information by observing truth through sight, sound, or some other kind of experience. In other words, written information may or may not be true so then the veracity of it must somehow be confirmed.
   The same is especially true for visual media such as TV and movies. I no longer go to or watch movies because I don't want to see evil things. By not seeing them, I am clearing my mind for information that may actually do me some good. Every second I engage something useless is a part of my life that I have wasted. I didn't learn anything and I acquired no virtue, nor did I build up of my character. And since my time on earth is quite limited, I know that I should be spending my time on things that are good and getting rid of the evil.
   Evil things are intended to distract away from things that are honest and good. Government and religions are the most destructive forces on the earth. The main tool of both is the lie. Once a lie is told, the people who hear it now waste their precious time responding to it; whether by thoughts or deeds, a person's mind is completely distorted by lies. All of their actions that are based upon any lie are wasted and are destructive. Why would anyone even listen to someone who they think is lying to them? For me, it was out of a bad habit. I used to think I was educating myself by listening to the various news outlets. What I have been able to do lately is to completely cut myself off of those things I just don't need to hear. If it isn't anything good or something that I can't do anything about, I don't bother with it. If it is of no service to me, then there's no point in considering it. This saves me a lot of time and effort. The nice part about this is that the power of the liar is ruined if no one listens to his nonsense. Since there is no real power in evil, if people stopped paying attention to it, most of it would collapse into nothingness.
   The major issue of reclaiming your brain is to stop believing other peoples' nonsense. Don't consider it; don't even listen to it. If you're not sure about something, then by all means, go ahead and study the issue, but if you find that it is stupid or evil, then just leave it alone. See, we give power to evil by talking about it all the time. By paying attention to stupid and evil people, we empower them. Ignoring their words takes their power away. And certainly, withdrawing from their ways of doing things can only serve to improve our lives.
   Evil people like to make slaves out of men, women, and children. If the mind can be enslaved, then it is much easier for the evil ones to control the people. The first line of defense in this atmosphere would be to stop opening the mind to these people and closing it off for only that which is seemly. Why would anyone care what an evil person has to say? You know it's not going to be good, so why listen to it?
   By cutting off your attention to evil things, the power of the evil will implode upon itself. It will make your life much more bearable, and you will enjoy the good part of life. The purpose of evil is
to destroy mankind, so the best thing to do is to stop listening to their poppycock. Think about the time all of us have spent time on things that can't possibly do us any good. And then we feed the evil by paying attention to it. We are wasting our time and our lives. Every second that passes buy should be used for good things; building character and virtue, rather than constantly feeding the evil.
     By reclaiming your brain, you will free yourself of the mental and spiritual chains of evil. Life will get better. I don't think God put us on earth to be miserable. And if you look at the actions of government and religion, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that these two forces are the primary instigators of the misery of mankind. The only comfort I have been able to find is contained within God's commandments and His wisdom, because those actually work.

Internal Revenue Laws Repealed: 1939

2012-02-05T20:19:00.000-08:00

During my time as an income tax activist (tax protester) there were many arguments that seemed to show that the income tax in the United States is a complete fraud. Some say it is "voluntary", some used the 861 position (easy to prove with the "code"), some thought that the 16th Amendment was never ratified (plausible but hard to prove), and some say that there is no bona fide taxing statute. I leaned more to the 861 position because it says what it says, but it is a bit difficult to explain to the uninitiated.
     Sometime in June 2003, during a meeting of income tax researchers of the "patriot" groups from all over the country, Jack Cohen held up a little, dark red income tax code book. And in that book, it says that the internal revenue laws were repealed at 53 Stat 1. My jaw dropped. If that were true, it would simplify any presentations of evidence in any court or IRS hearing. But what was more startling was that Jack was essentially ignored by almost all of the group of 20 researchers with the exception of me.
     Of course, the "patriot" groups made a lot of money helping people fight the IRS so then a real solution would be ignored. It's like the medical profession: There's no money in a cure. I have had this posted on the internet for over seven years, and yet there has very little response. The so-called "conservative" media wouldn't touch the issue.
   I found myself in front of a federal judge in Sacramento who put me in jail for contempt of court because I wouldn't comply with a court order to file my tax returns. I asked him if he expected me to file the returns according to the law. He indicated that it would be the case, and I then told him the internal revenue laws were repealed at 53 Stat 1, so where should I go from here? I am not willing to do any function that requires me to break any of God's commandments. In this case I was expected to lie. I was eventually released after 88 days but my business was destroyed, my marriage of 32 years was already in ruins, and my reputation severely compromised. The New York Times seemed to coordinate stories and my name was splattered all over the wire services.
     My marriage was generally a happy one, but we did have our challenges. The breaking point came when the DOJ started coming after me and my wife couldn't take the pressure. She would cry hysterically because her whole life was being turned upside down. One night she cried: "Please make this go away." She knew I was right on the tax issue, but it was extremely difficult or impossible to get any remedy. I was devastated at the loss of my marriage, because coming from a divorced family myself, my big goal in life was to stay with the same woman for the rest of my life.
     I had grown up with complete respect for the law and the government and I came to realize that they make the mafia look like a bunch of panty-waists. I knew that the government had corrupted people in it, but I still held out hope that somewhere there would be some honor in the system. I was wrong. Religious leaders just sat on their hands while people like me tried to correct what we thought was a major problem. The late Richard Simkanin, Nick Jesson, Sherri Jackson, ex-IRS agent, my co-defendant Joe Banister also an ex-IRS agent, and many other people have desperately tried to resolve the income tax issue. Joe Banister and myself appeared on 60 Minutes II in April of 2001. By bringing bringing national attention to the issue, we painted a big target on our backs. And we still feel the effects of it today.
    While I have good business skills, especially in sales, I can't go out and get a regular job any longer, as I can't get past the HR departments. My whole life has changed, so I live a much different life than I had before. I lost most of my possessions and I have learned not to have much of anything. All of this happened to me because I refused to lie. I cannot function properly without the truth of any matter. But what was hard to take was the destruction of my marriage. We had been together almost every day since our early twenties. (I'm 65 as of this writing.)
     Now, I just stay to myself. I'm not a complete recluse, but I don't go to very many places. I like to be outside and hike. I'm still a friendly man and I enjoy the company of other people, but the world that I thought I lived in is something much different. I'm not bitter because I have learned that it won't do me any good. My situation is what it is and it could have been a lot worse.
     I met men in prison who were in for 20+ years for non violent crimes. I knew men who died from the shabby medical care while in prison. And many men had their wives divorce them because they couldn't wait until their husbands got out. I even found out that Title 18 was never properly passed byCongress—no surprise there—and that no one is lawfully detainedin federal prison.
   I don't know what is going to happen in this country, but the impending payback that will be by the wrath of God is building. I see no other way to fix any of this unless people start keeping God's commandments. And I know in my life, God has paid me back for every rotten thing I have done, so how much more will it be for the people who operate government? Who can endure such a calamity?
   Whether it is "Show Me the Law" regarding income taxes, or "Where's the Birth Certificate", or
any other legitimate questioning of the government--the real condition of our existence is that we have no cognizable law, other than God's commandments that can be dependably used. The United States Constitution and the Bill Rights are not operative in any courtroom in the United States. The true condition is that the government is completely non responsive for the benefit of the people at large. It treats the people as if they are animals or livestock; to be fleeced--production drones to feed the pockets of the greedy communists called "Government". It is structurally evil and it is structurally stupid; completely lawless and self-serving.
   The value of keeping God's commandments cannot be underestimated. That is where the true power of life resides.

The Fish Defense

2012-01-28T14:37:00.000-08:00

I wrote this late in October 2004 and it is still posted on my old blog. After participating in various court proceedings and getting nowhere, I decided maybe I could put up a different

kind of defense. Many people in the "patriot" movement said the courts are actually admiralty

courts. This did not happen in any courtroom, I just made it up based upon my experiences.

The absurdities of the "legal" process is captured in this piece. I had a lot of fun writing this and it really does reflect the madness of going into a courtroom for any reason.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The Fish Defense

As I turn and churn my way through the "court" system, there has been a lot of talk about the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT operating under admiralty. It certainly appears to me that it is a combination of admiralty and war powers. The way these courts function is so absurd it defies one's imagination.

I was talking with another researcher and she told me of one of her clients to made the statement in one of his legal papers that he is not a fish, he doesn't inhabit the sea, and he doesn't live upon the ocean. What was interesting about this man is that his legal document was successful. Now we don't know if the fish statement helped his case, but he did have it in the document and a bunch of us had a big laugh over it. While this sounds ridiculous on the surface just look at what the First Continental Congress stated in 1774.

" Whereas, since the close of the last war, the British parliament, claiming a power, of right, to bind the people of America by statutes in all cases whatsoever, hath, in some acts, expressly imposed taxes on them, and in others, under various presences, but in fact for the purpose of raising a revenue, hath imposed rates and duties payable in these colonies, established a board of commissioners, with unconstitutional powers, and extended the jurisdiction of courts of admiralty, not only for collecting the said duties, but for the trial of causes merely arising within the body of a county"http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/resolves.asp

I was sitting at my computer musing about all of this and I got in one of those moods where I couldn't resist the temptation to write something up on it. Some people who know me said I had too much time on my hands. I agree.

Working with this kind of material is an oppression of one's mind and I decided to just cut loose and show how absurd things can get. This is just for fun and it did not happen any court...I just made it up for my own entertainment and amusement. Although it was inspired by events that happened to me.
_________________________________________________________________
Judge: Mr. Thompson

AT: (in wrist, waist, and ankle chains) Are you addressing me? Judge: Yes

AT: I am not a fish.

Judge: What in the hell are you talking about?

AT: I'm not a fish, whale, or any other sea or water creature.

Judge: If your trying to be a smart alleck, I'm going to hold you in contempt of this court.

AT: Sir, I want to make very sure that I don't inadvertently fall into some kind of admiralty proceeding. While were discussing this, I'm not a vessel. So I don't swim underwater and breath through any gills. I am not the Capt. of THE LOVE BOAT.

Judge: This is not an admiralty proceeding! This is a statutory court.

AT: Is this an Article III court?

Judge: Yes

AT: What statute did I allegedly violate? Remember, I'm not a fish!

Judge: Shut up! Or I'll send you for psychiatriac evaluation for 30 days.

AT: I'll go if you go.

AT: If you say this is a statutory court, where's the statute?

Judge: I can't give you any legal advice. You may hire an attorney, or if you can't afford one, the court will provide one for you.

AT: This sounds fishy to me...no pun intended. First you say this is a statutory court yet I'm not charged with any statutes. I ask for the statutes and you give me an off point answer that you "can't give me any legal advice". And furthermore, I resent being Shanghaied onto this vessel. I do not consent to being Shanghaied and I also resent being treated like a beached whale or sturgeon.

Judge: Mr. Thompson Are you TRYING to go to jail?

AT: If you look up the term "fish royal" in Blacks you won't think I'm so crazy. I am not a fish.

AT: And you had me Shanghaied by the US Marshall Service...I think they called them Brown Shirts in Nazi Germany. Your Brown Shirts picked me up without a lawful warrant. I believe sir, that is some kind of Title 18 offense...that's assuming that the DOJ attorneys know how to read something other than Mein Kampf.

Judge: I'm giving you one more warning Mr. Thompson, I'm not going to tolerate you disrupting this courtroom with your nonsense. You have to have respect and you've essentially thumbed your nose at this court.

AT: That's your opinion, actually the court has to earn respect by helping to preserve the rights of any man or woman who comes before this court. So far, all I can see here is raw power, where the fish is caught into the net and then simply processed. I am not a fish. I am not the LOVE BOAT or any other vessel. I'm not a fiction, I'm not a corporation, I'm not a belligerent, I'm not an insurrectionist. I am not Moby Dick nor am I Captian Hook. I am a man on the land, and I am a neutral and I'm not at war with anyone. And I don't spell my name in ALL CAPS. I learned real English..not this legal babble. I've been Shanghaied into this "court."

Judge: Sir, you had a lawful warrant out on you.

AT: Wellllllllll..............If you did, then why didn't your Brown Shirts produce it?

Judge: They are not Brown Shirts!!

AT: If they picked me up without a lawful warrant, what else am I supposed to think? You had me Shanghaied and YOU violated the law, not me. And now the liability is on you. I'm not that dumb, I know a lawful warrant when I see one. The problem is that I've never seen a lawful warrant. By what authority do you have me Shanghaied?

Judge: You are under the jurisdiction of UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT.

AT: Well, we know this court isn't in law, we know there's no contract...so it can't be equity...so it must be admiralty. I am not a fish. I am not the Captian of the LOVE BOAT or any other vessel...I am not a vessel. I might be a little dingy but I am not a dingy.

Judge: GET THIS SON OF A BITCH OUTTA MY COURTROOM! NOW! REMAND HIM TO THE PSYCHIATRIC WARD FOR 30 DAYS.

PHYSCIATRIC WARD

Shrink: Mr. Thompson, I'd like to conduct an examination on you. You are going to be under our care (captivity) for 30 days and we are going to evaluate your mental and emotional condition and then give a report back to the judge.

AT: Is he taking a test too?

Shrink: No.

AT: I'm not a fish.....

Shrink: What did you say?

AT: I'm not a fish.....I'm not a whale...I'm not a sea or water creature..that's what I mean when I say I'm not a fish.

Shrink: What in the world? What do you mean you're not a fish?

AT: I'm not a fish!

Shrink: Are you crazy?

AT: Why, do you think I'm a fish?

Shrink: This is the most insane thing I've ever heard.

AT: I'm sorry, but I'm not a fish. If you think I'm a fish..then just say so...we're friends. I'm not here to hurt anyone.

Shrink: I didn't say "I think you are a fish."

AT: Then why were you so surprised when I said "I'm not a fish?" It almost seems that you were disappointed that I'm not a fish.

Shrink: Shut up! Damn it. I'm not disappointed that you are not a fish.

AT: But you really wanted me to be a fish didn't you?

Shrink: No

AT: OK, so what's your point? I told you I'm not a fish...so what.

Shrink: But why would you say such a thing?

AT: Look I'm sorry. I also have to include mammals here, so I'm not a whale.........I'm also not a sturgeon. I'm not Moby Dick.

Shrink: That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

AT: Do you have something against a fish with breasts?

AT: Hey, you're supposed to be the shrink...if you make me feel stupid, then I'll sue you for lowering my self-esteem.

Shrink: Ok, Ok, let's just try to get along.

AT: Famous words from Rodney King...he's not a fish either. But the cops pounded on him like he was a dead fish...You don't suppose???????????

Shrink: Very funny

AT: It's not funny, you think the beating of Rodney King was funny? Are you a racist? Hey, you don't like black people. I'll sue you for a civil rights violation. I'll call Jesse Jackson on you!

Shrink: I'm losing my patience with you Mr. Thompson

AT: Are you going to beat me like a fish? I'm not a fish....

AT SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE

Shrink (to a superior): I have been visiting with Mr. Thompson, and he says, "He's not a fish." Is that the craziest thing you've ever heard?

Superior: Why no! He's right he's not a fish..he's just telling you the truth..what's the matter with you?

Shrink: DON'T START WITH ME..JUST GET THAT SON OF A BITCH OUTTA HERE, GET HIM OUTTA HERE BEFORE I KILL HIM. TELL THE JUDGE HE'S PERFECTLY SANE AND NEVER, NEVER, SEND THAT JERK BACK IN HERE.

Superior: Hey, we're supposed to keep him for 30 days.

Shrink: We couldn't keep enough drugs into that asshole to shut him up for thirty days without killing him. And don't give me any ideas. GET HIM OUTTA HERE NOW!

Every Good Man is Free: A Review

2012-01-24T18:26:00.000-08:00

The title of this writing, Every Good Man is Free, from Philo caught my eye a few years ago and I found it extremely interesting because it seems to conform to my belief that a man who is good is one who is free. I had never heard it stated in that manner. I want to go through this writing and point out the things that I think are useful and true. Since Philo lived around 40CE, I only have the text on which to rely. I consider any writing secondary information. What I like to do is to look at a writing and then figure out if what it has to say is true or false. I never accept the authority of any writing unless I have some kind of way to verify the veracity of it.

"....every wicked man was a slave, and that proposition I fully established by many natural and unquestionable argument;" "......we will proceed to show that every virtuous man is free."

Anyone who offends God in any way is indeed a slave. He is in bondage to Satan or evil and there is no way a man can please God in breaking any of His commandments. An evil man constantly lives with the guilty conscience that is provoked by his wicked acts. He lives in a satanic stupor in which good and evil are blurred to the point that he has a very difficult life. I remember how I have been repaid for every evil thing I ever did and the only way for me to avoid any more payback in the future is to stop doing evil things, and learn to be a good man.
Almost every church or religious groups says that it is impossible to be a good person. This is the kind of nonsense that distorts reality, because we are supposed to be good people. So why would a religious group say the opposite? It is simple: They are liars. The whole point of the commandments is for mankind to live within those boundaries which will produce an enormous benefit for those people who do good things; but evil to those that don't.

"...God is my ruler, and no mortal man....."
"For, in real truth, that man alone is free who has God for his leader;..."

Ultimately, this is the only viable condition for any man, woman, or child. Because man-made laws are too inconsistent, too capricious, and too convoluted to be of any practical use. However, God's natural laws are very easy to understand because they are self-evident. By taking other men out of the equation, the true relationship between God and man is direct and profound. There is no middleman because it isn't needed. The goal should be the acquisition of virtue and good character. These things can be acquired by keeping within the natural law of God's creation. And that is all for which most people are responsible. We don't need an religious nonsense to satisfy God. What we need is to build good character within ourselves in order to defeat the evil. Evil is weak and ineffective, and there is no good thing that can come from it. And people who are engaged in evil are then slaves to it. There's a reason why it is called bondage.

"But the virtuous man has absolutely no obstacle at all since he rises up against, and resists, and overthrows, and tramples on love, and fear, and cowardice, and pain, and all things of that kind, as if they were rivals defeated by him in the public games. For he has learnt to disregard all the commands which those most unlawful masters of the soul seek to imposed upon him,"

Notice the use of the words "unlawful masters." Can we not apply them to our religious and political leaders? All politicians and religious leaders I am aware of are chronic liars and only use God's laws if it suits their agenda. But when their laws are in opposition to God's order, then they will use their own laws and attempt to usurp the authority of God. These people are losers because their actions will incur the wrath of God. They not only disrespect God's wishes, but also, they want to replace God with a form of a "god-state." If evil people cannot reside within God's natural order, then he is a slave to the depravity of Satan. There is no point in cursing evil people because they have already done it to themselves. This is why it is very important to build character with virtues.

"..though still the laws of nature, which are more stable than those of men,..."

You don't really need a philosopher to point out this fact, but many of us just haven't thought about it very much. God's existence is self-evident in nature itself. Nature or the created thing isn't God, but simply the creation of God. No one but a complete lunatic would deny the existence of God. Now, to be fair to atheists, it is my opinion that what atheists really object to is organized religion more than they disbelieve in the existence of God. I think all of the religious groups in the world do more harm to the betterment of mankind than any explosion of a nuclear weapon. Most are rabid liars, and they don't have a clue about the natural order of life. All men are in awe and admiration of the things of nature and nature can give us better entertainment or enjoyment than anything in the various medias. And by observing nature, we see how it has worked for thousands and thousands of years; flawlessly, with unspeakable beauty. My goal in life is to finish it out observing those natural laws and try to keep my mind free of the intellectual garbage that has done so much damage to us all in the past. Nature's laws work for the betterment of everything; man's laws do not. The stability of nature's laws is self-evident, and there can be no argument within rational thought.

"But the virtuous man does do everything wisely; therefore he alone is free. And indeed the man whom it is not possible either to compel to do anything, or to prevent from doing anything, cannot possibly be a slave; and one cannot compel or prevent the virtuous man."

This is a very important point. A wise man cannot be compelled to do anything that he doesn't want to do. A virtuous man cannot be corrupted. And I think that if more men and women made it a point to avoid their evil inclinations it would make their lives--and those around them-- a lot more pleasant.
No matter what the situation, the virtuous man will always have the upper hand in everything because he is setting his foundation upon natural law that is in turn established by the God who created us.

"...But the wise man only desires such things as proceed from virtue,..."

A virtuous man understands that there is nothing to be gained from the fruit of evil. There is no benefit to evil. The wise many only desires that which he has lawfully gained and not from

that which was obtained through an evil source. There is a lot of self-preservation in knowing how to be a good man. Most of all the bad things that happen to us be a result of the evil we have done. Of course, we do know that sometimes bad things happen to good people; but I'm not talking about that. I know just about every reader can identify something bad that happened to them, and many times may have thought that somehow God paid him back for the evil that he had done. Every man who builds up his own character is the one who becomes pleasing to God and he doesn't have to worry about God's wrath paying him back for any evil deeds.

"..and thus the people are taught piety, and holiness, and justice, and economy, and the science of regulating the state, and the knowledge of such things as are naturally good, or bad, for indifferent, and to choose what is right to avoid what is wrong, using a threefold variety of definitions, and rules, and criteria, namely, the love of God, and the love of virtue, and the love of mankind. Accordingly, the sacred volumes present an infinite number of instances of the disposition devoted to the love of God, and of a continued and uninterrupted purity throughout the whole of life, of a careful avoidance of oaths and falsehood, and of a strict adherence to the

principle of looking on the Deity as the cause of everything which is good and nothing which is evil."

In most decisions of our lives, the primary issue should always be this: Is it good or is it evil? This is what we all should be asking ourselves before we do anything. Then remember that if we choose good, then we we are free; and, if we choose evil, then we become slaves. We should be matching up our thinking with God's commandments and His natural law. God created everything to be good and He didn't create any evil as mankind does that himself through the exercise of his free will. Notice that he also warns the reader to avoid oaths and falsehood. I've written a lot about the dangers of the oath on this blog, and I just want to point out that I'm not the only one what has noticed the evil of oath-taking.

"..Slavery, then, is of two kinds; slavery of the soul and slavery of the body. Now, of our bodies, men are masters; but over our souls, wickedness and the passions have the dominion. And we may speak of freedom in the same manner. For one kind of freedom gives fearlessness of body in respect of any dangers which can come upon it from men of still more powerful body; while the other produces peace to the mind, by putting a check upon the authority of the passions."

Evil and passions have a way of putting us into a type of stupor to where we do evil things and we can't seem to control it. By exercising a little self-control, any man can separate himself from evil and build up his character by obeying God's commandments and stay within the natural order. The mind and the soul should be the easiest things to get under control. I'm just expressing an opinion here because I think these passions of the soul are contained within every man's body. Once the mind and soul are free, then the work can begin to get the body out of slavery too. This may be more difficult because that would take the consideration of the oppressors and that's not likely to happen.

The reason that I found this article so interesting is that it shows the relationship of a man who is good and stays within the natural law which is easy to understand. Religions seems to blur the common sense that God established under natural law. When I conduct my behavior to be in line with God's commandments, I seem to have more inner peace and I don't have a lot of bad things happening around me. This is in contrast as I look back in my life and I can attribute some bad things happening to me because of my disobedience to God's law. Having said that, I am not a religious man, and I don't practice any religious rituals because they always have the potential to lead me into idolatry. I just leave all religious rituals alone as they are too dangerous to use. I don't go to any churches or religious functions because there is simply too much idolatry. If I read any religious writings, I always try to confirm them with God's commandments or the natural law. If the writings don't fit those parameters, or there are a lot of contradictions, I just leave them alone as they will be too unreliable to base a true faith in God.

Goodness and virtue are things that every man, woman, or child should be pursuing rather than digging themselves deeper and deeper into the hole of evil. Everyone should be using rational thought and ask themselves if their beliefs in anything stand the test of common sense. In addition, there is no sense in studying evil people and evil events. They are what they are and it is destructive to the mind to keep studying things that are stupid; nothing smart comes from it. Sure, you need to know the basics, but after that, there's no sense in view it over and over again. Keeping the mind continually focused on the goal of becoming a good man or woman should be of the highest priority.

The God-State

2011-11-27T14:25:00.001-08:00

     Idolatry today is a massive problem that needs to be dealt with or it is going to destroy everything. There is nothing good or fun about idolatry and it ruins life. Idolatry comes from Satan or Lucifer and it comes with the desire of man or evil to become God. That is a pathetic aspiration, however, this is what people do to themselves everyday, and they even listen to people tell them that they can be gods.
I'm going to examine just one small part of idolatry and show how destructive it is and give some suggestions on how to avoid it.
   The first commandment says that we are not to have any false gods before our Creator. This should be an easy commandment to keep, but most of us have been subjected to horrible religions which teach almost everything else but what we need to know that will help us enjoy our lives. And the sad part is that every time we commit one of these sins, we bring upon ourselves the wrath of God. He knows exactly how to pay us back for our misdeeds. The payback is really bad and it will manifest itself in many ways. And when we commit sins, we defile those around us in ways that we cannot imagine. According to the Epistle of James, all sin is idolatry.
   The most glaring example of a false god is the state. Any state that declares that it is "the supreme law of the land" has a problem. Only the Creator has the authority and the ability to declare the supreme law of the land. Only God can set forth the workings of nature and the universe. However,
man thinks that he can be a god by setting forth his own rules. For example: people think that women have a right to abortions. However, abortions are state sanctioned murder paid for with tax dollars in many cases. But what about the rights of the man or woman being aborted? Oh....didn't think of that? The commandment against killing is always broken when it comes to abortion. But the state has no respect for God's laws. The state attempts to usurp God's natural order and makes our lives a living hell.
   There are other ways the state attempts to overthrow God. God set for the universe by his own oath, yet God teaches for men not to take oaths. All the governments I know of operate on the oath. The oath taken by a man is idolatry and it should never be done. Most religions operate on oaths, which means that they represent a false god. Any man who swears an oath is acting like a pagan. Almost every government official has taken an oath. All operatives in the courts in the United States have sworn oaths; which means that they are all liars. Having been on the receiving end of the federal judicial system, I can verify that the whole process is nothing but lies. It can't be avoided because it relies on the satanic system based upon the oath.
   Somehow, these states think that it is proper for them to kill people and to start wars. They cause trouble in almost every sector of the world and then kill their sons and daughters in lands that have nothing to do with them. The people of the world have very little moral structure to work from because the state sets a bad example. In God's world, the state is nothing. If the state doesn't honor God's commandments, then society is a complete failure and eventually God will destroy it.
     The state institutes a banking system based upon interest and usury. Based upon any reasonable interpretation of scripture, it is well-known that interest or usury is considered stealing. Yet, the whole financial systems of the world are built upon it. And having a few hundred years to look back on, I can see the futility of a financial system based upon interest. This is why the United States and any other state that uses this system will be considered a failed state, and it will descend into chaos.
   The state builds statues and idols as monuments to their failure. The building of statues is simply idolatry and they are completely unnecessary. And although most people aren't that dumb to worship them, some actually do it.
   What evil does is to first provide a need. People like stability in their lives and the government gives it to them. The government provides various functions so that there is some kind of order and that people will be able to take their issues to an impartial court if necessary. However, once the people's trust is acquired by the government, it then turns on its own people and it steals their substance and destroys their lives. Why? Because the state--being satanic in nature--wants to destroy the lives of the people. It isn't there to do any good thing or righteous deed; it is there to destroy every man, woman, and child on the face of the earth.
   When I encounter evil, I don't have to look much farther than the oath. Once I see that, I'm off to do something else. Because when these evil people say God, who they really mean is Satan. Unless a state can conform to God's commandments, life will be completely miserable.
     The various religions actually conform to the state in that they disregard God's commandments. This gives the state the needed mind-control needed to lull the people into a satanic stupor. So it is not just a political problem, it is also a religious and spiritual problem. All men are subject to the same God, just as they are to the natural forces of life here on Earth. But when their minds are distorted into thinking that the lie is the truth, the evil seems to take control with no end to it.
   Keeping God's commandments is necessary in order to have a properly seated government. Some might argue that it would violate the idea of separation of church and state. The problem is that there is no such thing as separation of church and state. The church is the state and the state is the church which is founded upon evil.
   The best method is to avoid any of these organizations. They reek of the occult and they seem to always disclose their beliefs by using various satanic symbols and hand gestures. Just stay away from them as they are intent on destroying themselves.

The Knowledge of Wickedness is Not Wisdom

2011-11-26T19:21:00.001-08:00

I was reading "The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach,or Ecclesiasticus" and it got me to thinking about the value of studying evil. I've been a student of history for most of my life, and I may be called a "conspiracy theorist", but in reality, I think the better term for it would be "conspiracy observer". As I watch current events unfold, my approach is more of an observer than a theorist. A theory is something that may or may not be true, but in observing history, the theory part goes away and the facts speak for themselves. Is it worth the time to study evil?

After doing just that for many years, it is my opinion that it is not worth the effort. There's too much time being spent on looking at evil, rather than trying to solve the problem. I'm sure the "powers" don't mind everyone studying their evil but the problem for them comes when someone comes up with an alternative solution to the evil.

Mankind (not human, I'm not human) operates his life with choices between good and evil. The only study that I can see is to observe and verify the evil and then stay away from it. Evil fouls my mind and I can't stand looking at it. I'm at the point to where I just stay to myself because I don't want to be influenced by other peoples' evil inclinations. I'm usually not a reclusive person, but lately I'm starting to get used to long periods of being by myself.

I don't get any smarter observing wickedness. My character is not being built by learning evil. My character is only improved when I manage to do good things, and leave the evil behind. Looking at evil unsettles the mind, and being around evil people destroys a peaceful life. And this is why I am at the point now to where I firmly believe in God, but I have completely rejected most religions. I just don't think God is that stupid as to come up with so many variations of evil. I think the religions that I am aware of are completely evil. Governments are evil as they don't conform to God's commandments. So there's really no point in studying any of it because it wastes time and the evil gets more attention than just enjoying life within the parameters that God gave mankind.

I try to use all of God's commandments and that is what restrains my own behavior. This is a part of the natural laws, and we should be paying more attention to them. Studying evil is like counting all the turds in the cesspool; no thanks. Believe me, there are times when I get an inclination to break one of them, but through self-control I'm learning how to deal with the temptations.

I am deathly afraid of any religious rituals as I believe that it is quite easy to get caught up in idolatry.
I stay away from "churches" because I don't want to wreck my life. Because my life is much better working with the commandments. As I go along, I find it easier to keep them because I'm paying attention as to whether I should do something or not. I focus my time on things that can do me some good, rather than spending time studying evil.

I agree with this verse in saying that there is no wisdom in the knowledge of wickedness or evil. There is no point to knowledge of evil other than to know enough to stay away from it.

Neutered Newt Helped Cause the Economic Collapse

2011-11-23T19:07:00.001-08:00

This is a good example about why the "new world order" psychos are planning our future as slaves and serfs.
   There was a big political debate in the early 1990s regarding NAFTA, GATT/WTO because these so-called "free trade" agreements were nothing more than a grand socialist scam. In fact, you can find the term "free trade" in the Communist Manifesto. What free trade really means is that free trade will never happen. American companies who were burdened with high regulation in the United States, would simply move their factories to other locations outside of this country causing severe unemployment. Neutered Newt Gingrich and the "Government" was instrumental in emasculating this country's economy and now he wants to be President. Other phoney conservatives like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North, Michael Reagan, and many others were supporters of these trade agreements. The power of conservative talk radio was used to push through this stupid agreement over the objections of millions of Americans who knew perfectly well that millions of jobs would be lost. Limbaugh called us conspiracy "kooks". Limbaugh was the kook. And so if you like your unemployment situation, you can thank "conservative" talk radio. The only conservative radio host that didn't support it was Michael Savage; if my memory serves me correctly.
   NAFTA was the first federal "law" or agreement I had ever read. I couldn't believe it. It was like Karl Marx wrote it from the grave. It was so stupid, ignorant, and evil because it was a communist document that would destroy our economy. Seeing these stupid bills pass was like watching our whole political system drink the Kool Aid. In fact, it hasn't done much good for Mexico either.
     Neutered Newt's NAFTA has emasculated manufacturing and agriculture, leaving more of a consumer economy. The better setup for an economy is a strong manufacturing, agriculture, and consumer. The United States was the strongest economy in the world, but now will wallow in decline, especially if this knucklehead becomes President. Think about it. Almost 42,000 manufacturing companies left the country leaving millions of people out of jobs. Then, many of the small farms had to shut down because of unfair competition from Mexico and other countries. With the high unemployment, consumerism took a big hit and the country is now in a big mess. Thank Neutered Newt, Bill Clinton, who are going around the country looking smart, but are in fact, very stupid.
   When I had my own factory, I produced products with the labor of my workers. For example,
if I paid a worker $10.00 per hour I had additional costs; medical insurance, FICA, workman's compensation, and other expenses. That could add up to about $15.00 per hour cost of producing our products. At the time, I was quoted a prices of around $2.00 to $3.00 per hour if I had my products made in Mexico. If I took those same products to China to be produced, the price at that time was
.29 The economic incentive was to shift our manufacturing out of the country, and send our workers home. I didn't do it but it was tempting.
   Years ago, I really got pissed when I heard Hillary Clinton say that she can't be responsible for every under capitalized company. Well, if I could actually pay a worker .29 cents per hour, or even $2-3.00 per hour, I would be more competitive too. At the time, minimum wage was around $8.25 per hour. American companies operating in the United States are operating under a major financial handicap.
     Government as we know it today is completely useless, and if Republicans think that Neutered Newt is going to do a good job, just know that he is not capable of it. He has a proven track record
of utter failure via NAFTA, GATT, and the WTO. He is a communist and as is all of the other "conservative" talk show hosts who supported these stupid trade agreements. Democracy is a system that insures that the most stupid, evil, and insane politican will occupy the seats of power, bringing destruction upon itself.
   In order to have a good economic recovery that produces good jobs, this country will have to restore what was taken. Manufacturing and agricultural businesses will have to be restored. If that doesn't happen, we will decline to a condition like we see in Zimbabwe.
     The only government that will work would be one which respects God's commandments. Which would mean never allowing interest or usury to be used in our financial systems.
     There's not much more adversity this economy can take, and putting Neutered Newt as President will probably finish us off. As for me, I would not vote for any of these people. Just let it rot and start over.

I Wish I Had A Woman as Nice as My Dog

2011-11-23T09:25:00.001-08:00

   I was getting out of my car this morning, and my little Yorkie stuck out her paw and scrapped it on my hand wanting me to pet her. She's so nice. She does this a lot--though it's a bit annoying when I'm driving--because all she wants is some love and a little attention. I pet her on the head and she's happy, and will lay down and sleep on a longer trip.
     A dog will give a man unconditional love; whereas, a woman may or may not keep you around depending upon the prevailing winds. I don't have to buy my dog a food dish lined with jewels.
My dog doesn't get crabby and vicious for no reason because she loves me unconditionally. My dog doesn't run up a charge account at Macy's, and she doesn't spend $50.00 to do her nails. My dog doesn't take drugs, drink alcohol, or crash my brand new car. My dog doesn't stand there and "bitch me out" for not being sensitive to her needs. All my dog needs is a little love, attention, and her food. Overall, the quality of life with my dog has far exceeded any relationship I have had with any woman. If you want to know where you stand with a woman, just run out of money.   If you have a woman that stays with you when you're broke or in a setback, then you have a good one.   The value of any relationship depends upon unconditional love, and that's more evident with my dog.
   My guess is that animals are not subject to evil as people are. Even wild animals seem to be more behaved than mankind. Animals don't strap explosives on themselves and then go blow up other animals. You don't see eagles or vultures flying over the elephants dropping bombs on them. When was the last time you saw a socialist animal? Animals don't shave their faces, armpits, or legs, put on makeup, they don't get pierced or get tattoos, take drugs, engage in homosexual activities, nor do they cross-dress. You will never see a male lion shave his mane nor his beard in order to look like a female lion. You don't see them working on their "six pack" (I have a one pack). You'll never see animals joining the freemasons or other satanic cults. Animals have more freedom than people.
     So when some of you call a woman a "bitch" think about what you are saying. The word "bitch" means a female dog. So if you are going to use the word with its true meaning, you would actually be insulting female dogs, because the dogs have better behavior than many women. You can blame a lot that on the feminist movement, but also, because men and women refuse to stay within their natural order of life, which are God's commandments. I would never insult my dog by calling Gloria Allred a "bitch". I'm trying to maintain a higher standard; I would call her a feminist but not a bitch. The feminist movement has made many of our women unseemly wenches. Raise the moral standards, and the problems will subside. It's not like there's no solution.
     I love my bitch and I don't want to say anything to offend her. My bitch is sweet, my bitch is lovable, my bitch is kind, my bitch is considerate, and she hardly causes me any trouble. She doesn't mess with my mind; doesn't say yes today and no tomorrow. She doesn't tell me she loves me today, but tomorrow she wants a divorce. My dog doesn't pole dance at drunken parties. My dog doesn't pick up "stud muffins" at bars. My dog doesn't make porno films. My dog doesn't take me to court (you lawyers..don't get any ideas) and she doesn't make any unreasonable demands. It is a perfect relationship as I don't have to entertain any of her relatives. My dog is my friend and not my adversary.
If I was ever to consider getting married again, the woman would have to (at the very least) rise to the level of the behavior of my beautiful little dog. Dogs and animals stay within the natural order in which God created; many people do not.

'Never Stand For The National Anthem Again'

2011-11-07T17:52:00.000-08:00

After his hearing, Jesse Ventura said: "I'll never stand for the national anthem again." This is a sorry state of affairs, when the former governor of Minnesota makes a statement like this; however, I've felt this way for a long time. I've never said it, but I think about it quite often.

The reason for Jesse's feelings is that the government, or what is passed off as government, is completely lawless. They certainly don't follow the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights is meaningless. This cannot be fixed.

If a man ever tries to use the court system this country, he will find it almost completely crooked, unless his case doesn't involve the government. Going to court is like being in hell and asking the Devil for a glass of water. There is no relief and there is little to no justice. In this country, there are numerous instances that show that the operatives in the government do not have any respect for their own rules. And as a result, there is no remedy for anyone who is offended by any government process.

In the case of the TSA, it is simply another arm of a Gestapo mentality in our government. The excuse is because of "national security". But it is my opinion that the government itself created the conditions for the so-call terrorist threats throughout the world. The twin towers were obviously blown up. The only group I'm aware of that could pull off something like that would be a government. I remember a few years ago, a friend of mine told me that his Russian friend who lived in California, was thinking about going back to Russia to get away from the police state known as the United States.

I used to enjoy going to the airport and going on a trip. But now, that's the last place I want to go and I refuse to fly commercial. I don't need to go anywhere that bad to put myself through that nonsense.

The "Government" treats everyone like animals or livestock. And the people in the government are as a cesspool: the big chunks rise to the top. You can look no farther than Obama who is still in office even though he shows no valid birth certificate and may have a bogus Social Security number. He couldn't pass even the most rudimentary security check, yet this knucklehead is still the President.

Reading and studying law is a complete waste of time. I used to do it for years and years, and I really don't like to read any of it anymore because it doesn't mean anything. Why read fantasy and try to accomplish something? Why study something that is not?

Jesse Ventura found out the hard way, just like many of us who have tried to get a remedy in the courts, only to find out they are founded upon evil.

Teaching and Power: The Fruit of the Tree

2011-11-07T17:46:00.000-08:00

One of the things I've learned over the years is that I have to judge things based upon truth. If I make a judgement about a person, I have to do it based upon not only what he says, but also, by what he does. The words attributed to Christ that essentially says that one can tell a tree by its fruit. I wish I had known how to use this principle earlier in my life but I'm glad to have been able to learn it. I'm going to describe how this principle can be put to good use.
I know that a bad tree cannot give good fruit or a good tree will not produce bad fruit. If I apply this principle to people that I encounter, I am able to better judge them; mostly by their actions. I try to never judge a man by his physical appearance with the exception of his face. I don't look at the face if it is handsome or ugly, but rather, what expressions give away his inner countenance. I remember meeting a man who had the most sour look on his face. I took note of it and I always avoided him. Later, he was caught doing three bank robberies in one day. I knew by the expressions on his face that this was someone I didn't need to be around. In this case, I was right.
People who lie always produce bad fruit. When a person lies to me, he distorts my own thinking. That's why I now find politics and religious people so disgusting. It seems like they aren't happy unless they are lying about something. Thus, if you find any of them lying to you, there's no reason to engage them any longer. There really isn't any reason to vote, nor is there any reason to go to their meetings. Disinformation will always send a person down the wrong road, take the wrong turn, and get to the wrong destination. The person is the tree; the fruit in this case is the lie. It's a simple concept, but many of us don't use it. We believe things that people tell us and then we get upset when we find out that someone lied to us. People are what they do, and all one has to do is to observe it.
Most governments and religions that I am aware of deserve to be flushed down the toilet. These organizations are only the false authority for evil people to kill many men, women, and children. People shouldn't define themselves from these lying despots and false teachers, but should define themselves and their morality from God's commandments; not from men's laws. As we can see right now given the current events, that with government and religion being the tree, we can see the bad fruit coming forth.

The Two-Fingered Finger

2011-11-07T17:42:00.000-08:00

One of the things I've noticed about all these jerks in government, religion, and the media is their tendency to use satanic hand signals. I suppose this is a way the luciferians warn or disclose to us who they serve.
Usually, these hand signals are either the middle finger and the index finger that are formed in the letter V, or the index finger and the little finger are formed into a horned shape.
I actually appreciate that these people identify themselves right off the bat, so I don't have to find out who they are the hard way. For instance, in recent photos of Herman Cain, he's giving the two fingered finger with both hands, just like Richard Nixon did back when he was president. I'm assuming that Herman Cain must be some form of luciferian or a freemason.
In fact, there are many public and religious leaders who use these hand symbols and I hope they keep doing it. I appreciate the disclosure so I can make sure that I can adjust my thinking when I encounter them when I am reading or see them on the internet. I don't have to waste my time listening to their nonsense or bull shit.
What are these people accomplishing by giving us the two-fingered finger? I interpret these hand signals as saying that they are arrogant devil-worshipers; they are simply in our faces with this garbage. It doesn't matter if they are liberal or conservatives; many of them seem to be doing this. We see actors, Hollywood stars, musicians, and supposedly successful people giving us the two-fingered finger.
One day I had a Pentecostal freak walk by me and give me the two-fingered finger. I asked him to stop doing it because it is a satanic symbol, and for him to stick it somewhere else. As I turned my back and walked away, he started doing it behind my back.
I was talking with someone about the occult one morning, and I looked down at her hand and she was giving me the two-fingered finger. Which is very helpful to me because I know now to stay away from people who do it.
I'm not going to post any of the pictures as they are readily available on the internet. But these hands signals are a big help to people like me so I know who these people are and to make sure that I stay away from them, nor do I listen to anything that they have to say. They are worthless wretches and even listening to their drivel can distort the mind. They are losers and will always be losers as long as they keep serving the desires of Satan.
That's why it is very important to be consistent in keeping God's commandments. When you see the two-fingered finger, just know that nothing good is going to come from that person. They have nothing to say that will do you any good. If they manage to do something good for you, they will twist it into something evil. The best thing to do is to appreciate the fact that they disclosed to you that they are of the devil and that you no longer need to engage with such people.

To Circumcise or Not to Circumcise

2011-10-30T13:11:00.000-07:00

   There have been some political controversies regarding circumcision in California. I hadn't paid much attention to it until I read an article on the internet about how circumcision is "genital mutilation" and that it compromises a man's sexual capacities. Let's look at the problem in the spiritual sense as I don't know enough about the physical consequences. To me, the Bible is a spiritual minefield because if you look at the conduct of its proponents, you will find a pagan influence almost every time. In fact, when I received my Geneva Bible in the mail it had a pagan symbol right on the front cover.   How is it that the so-called Word of God has a pagan symbol on it? So I cut it out, but I still wonder if there's something I may be missing. I'm at the point now that I don't trust any writing unless I can confirm it some other way.
     When reading anything, I want to make sure that what I am reading is true and that it makes some kind of sense. If the commandments say not to worship idols, then I know that it makes sense because there is no profit for me in worshiping anything that is of a lesser standing than God and man. I also do not want to offend God; avoiding idolatry makes a lot of sense thus I believe the commandment. I know by natural law that it is wrong to kill another man, steal from him, have sex with his wife, and covet his possessions. I have a latent knowledge of these things from natural law and discerning between right and wrong.
   I don't think there is any latent knowledge within mankind to cut the foreskin of his baby boy's penis. It doesn't make any sense to me. In fact, it is altering what the Creator himself has created. What would be the purpose of it? I don't see any purpose. And if it is done as a religious ritual and it is wrong, then the act of circumcision would be idolatry. This would definitely offend God. On the surface of it, it makes sense to avoid circumcision.
   Just as there's no referral of circumcision to the Ten Commandments , there is also no direct referral to the commandment in Leviticus 19:27 which forbids the cutting or altering of a man's beard. And I suppose the reason for that is because the act of cutting or shaving the beard defiles and alters what God created. Cutting or shaving the beard would go against natural law which are the boundaries set by the Creator. The man puts up a false front by shaving and it is effeminate.    I know it because I can see and observe it. In my opinion, that commandment makes sense because God said through the Mosaic law not to do it. The writing is supplemental to the natural law. If both fit, then that's where I set my belief system.
   However, we don't have that kind of evidence for the circumcision. I cannot see any "natural law" reason for this practice, other than that the Bible says to do it. But the Bible was created by men. The only way the Bible is useful is to the extent that it sticks to the truth. What if some pagan just inserted this commandment to circumcise into the Bible? What if some freaked-out freemason or satanist put it in the Bible as a pagan ritual? How would we know the difference unless we checked it against the natural law? In fact, if you look at my reasoning about the beard and use of the same criteria on the circumcision, you'll see that there isn't one form of supporting evidence within the boundaries of natural law. Why would God make men like that and then have some of it cut off after only 8 days? It doesn't make any sense to me as I consider this issue, and if I had babies again that were boys, I would not have this procedure done.
     Along with the shaving of the beard, circumcision defiles the man and compromises his masculinity. And that is the whole point of paganism; to destroy what God created. Circumcision appears to be as useless as infant baptism because the baby is not at the age of reason and he has no say in the matter. Given the pagan influences in the Judeo/Christian organizations, it wouldn't surprise me that the act of circumcision isn't a valid procedure that came from the Creator.
     My suggestion is that people do some more thinking before they act. Try to find out whether something is good or evil first; then make the decision. If you are in doubt, then don't do it. Set it aside until you get the wisdom on the issue. You might be surprised to find that some things aren't as they seem.

It Don't Get No Stupider Than This

2011-08-06T22:29:00.000-07:00

I never thought there could be a "president" worse than George W. Bush; I was wrong. Not that I would want to go back to Bush, but I now question the whole system of government. It seems as though only the most evil and stupid people ascend (or decend..depending on your point of view) to power.
I thought I had seen everything when I saw the Speaker of the House cry profusely on 60 Minutes. Here is a man who would be in a position to negotiate major legislation, only to be prone to crying at the drop of a hat. Think of how much confidence that must instill in the people who follow him. Of course, he caves in to the President in the budget bill disappointing the well-meaning Tea Party. However, that should be renamed the Pea Party since Obama wanted Congress to "eat their peas". Obama got the Republicans to eat their shorts.
Obama has to be the most intelligent president in recent history. Think of it. He becomes president even though he may not be constitutionally qualified because he may have been born in Kenya. He then produces a counterfeit birth certificate that even the most rank graphic software user could recognize as a fake. But the guy is still president. He is using a questionable socialist insecurity number, and no one investigates other than a few reporters. Don't sell Obama short; he has his shit together. He said in his campaign that he wanted to reduce troop commitments but starts two more wars. He wrecks the economy and then blames George Bush. Heck, why not blame George Washington? He discontinues the most successful space program in the Space Shuttle at a time when there is chronic unemployment. But that's OK, the astronauts can hitch a ride with the Russians. It don't get no stupider than this.
Obama is of mixed race: black and white. But since it is politically convenient, he passes himself off as a black man. If I use his logic, I could just as easily claim he's a white guy. But he gets away with calling himself black. You gotta hand it to Obama, there's almost nothing he can't do. Only Obama could be the first black president when he could just as well claim that he's white. We could say that Obama is the first black president who is white. I wonder if Jesse Jackson would cry over that; no doubt Boehner would. It don't get no stupider than this.
The only thing dumber than this are the conservative talk show hosts. Right now, they are criticizing Obama for the high unemployment. The reason for high unemployment is the unfair trade agreements such as NAFTA and GATT during the Clinton administration. Limbaugh, Hannity, Liddy, Boortz, and many others all favored these agreements. Perot warned that there would be a "great sucking sound" which would be the jobs that would be lost as a result of the trade agreements. Perot was right. If you want to attach blame for the unemployment, it couldn't possibly be Obama. The blame should be put at the feet of conservative talk radio which helped push the socialist agenda under the cover of "conservatism". If Obama was smart, he would blame the high unemployment on Clinton, Limbaugh, and Hannity. In this country; if it is political, it is socialist. It don't get no stupider than this.
Clinton, Limbaugh, Hannity, and others lead the way to destroy your job. There will be no recovery because there is not a lot with which to recover. I suggest that if you want a job, start sending your resume to India, Mexico, or China. They'll need English speaking employees. You won't make that much, but their living expenses are lower. It will all come out in the wash. Just have your relatives get on a plane to India for the holidays and you can have your family gatherings in Mumbai. Employment in the United States is highly overrated. This is great for tech support people when you buy your Dell computer that was made in China and supported in India. Just think how happy Dell's customers will be when they learn that a Texan moved to India to support their computers. It don't get no stupider than this.

Teaching and Power: Part Two On Fornication

2011-07-23T12:04:00.000-07:00

With the recent sexual scandals of various politicians, we are seeing the attempt to completely undo the moral structure of this country by satanic forces. Evil is evil, no matter how you look at it, and this writing will discuss the problem of fornication and examine just how destructive it can be. Fornication destroys everything in its path. It deceives the mind; it destroys the man, woman, or "partner." It destroys marriages, and it devastates children. And frankly, if it isn't turned around, it will destroy this nation just as if someone dropped a nuclear bomb on the whole country.
Fornication is simply this: unlawful sex outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. This is the hideous tool of Satan which completely distorts the good and lawful relationship between men and women. The act of fornication degrades the woman and leads her into a life of hell on earth. While those who engage in it may think they love each other, the act itself is truly an act of hatred and defilement. There is no better way to dishonor each other. It produces a false sense of love or belonging. It overlooks the natural order of life as God created it, and it destroys everything.
I don't want to start describing all of the different situations, but what I want to do is to give the reader some ideas on how to defeat the urge to fornicate. It isn't that difficult, but this is not taught in many places and I rarely see any articles on this subject.
Fornication is an offense against God. The problem is that our sexual desires seem to get the better of us and we can act in an unseemly way if we let it control us. Evil is nothing; it is weak. It takes a man or a woman to commit a sin in order to give the evil any power. When the urge to fornicate is present, most of us don't know how to avoid it. Fornication can be done by thought, actions, or both. I find it a lot easier to avoid if I don't look at images that could cause my mind to wander toward fornication. If I get a bad case of the urge, I simply repeat the commandment: "Thou shalt not commit adultery" and the urge goes away. It sounds simplistic, but I'm finding that the commandments are a man's best tool to keep himself out of trouble. Life is much easier under the yoke of God's commandments.
The urge to fornicate puts a man's mind into a type of satanic stupor. The man chases the fantasy until it is completed, but there is no love at the end, only disappointment and heartache. Sex has its place only between a man and woman within the bond of marriage. In truth, fornication is an act of hatred toward the other person. There is a place for everything, but fornication is dangerous and it is extremely easy to be deceived by it.
The sexual act of fornication includes homosexual activity. If a man fornicates, he is essentially as a homosexual because both acts are sins against God. If heterosexuals fornicate, they are not any better or worse than homosexuals because what they do are an abomination to God. When I realize that my temptation to fornicate is as being a queer, I defeat the temptation almost immediately. But the best reason not to fornicate is so that we do not break God's commandments. Most of the commandments are things that we are not supposed to do. Really, how hard is it not to do something?
The problem arises because we are always influenced by spiritual good and evil. Evil is stupid and destructive. There is nothing smart about evil. Evil is the weakest and most hurtful part of a man's life.
However, the evil can be easily defeated, and the only way I know to get rid of its influence on me is to repeat the commandments. Whatever evil spirit or influence I am experiencing goes away making my life a lot easier to live. This works because the evil cannot stand to hear the commandments of God. When anyone repeats the commandments, the evil leaves the scene. So keeping the commandments at the forefront of our minds is the best way to defeat evil. Remember, evil is stupid and destructive and its only true intent is to destroy mankind. But by repeating the commandments( abiding in them), will give the man the best tool to overcome these incidious temptations.

The Only Safe Place on Earth

2011-07-13T21:26:00.000-07:00

I am 64 years old, and I have always been the type of man who respected government, law, and religion. Throughout my early years, I always looked up to political and religious leaders. I always thought that they were special people who always had the people's best interest at heart. I no longer think that because I can see the utter devastation that they have wrought upon mankind.
I recently got into an exchange with a "Christian" who told me that it is impossible for a man to keep God's commandments. This is the usual insane fare that is put upon most Christians and the thought of not being able to keep God's commandments is completely ludicrous. It would mean that God is stupid (I know He is not) and extremely sadistic. This line of thought follows satanic doctrine. This kind of doctrine conforms more to a pagan religion more than anything else. I used to call myself a Christian but I couldn't find a suitable church for me to attend. I've tried most all of them, and upon checking their doctrinal statements, I just couldn't stomach going to them. And every time I did go, I was always disappointed and felt lost and abandoned. I didn't feel that God disappointed me, but I realized that I was missing an important understanding.
I realized that it was important to keep the commandments and that God expected me to keep them. And I realized that if I attended churches or religious services that offended God, then I would be committing idolatry. Idolatry is a sin against God, so I decided that it was in my best interest to simply stay away from these groups because I didn't want to be offending God and committing a sin.
As time went on, I began to understand that keeping the commandments can bring some interesting results, but there is a big payoff in understanding. By taking the time for me to learn self-control, I was able to improve my life. Not so much in material things, but in ways I think are extraordinary.
When I am able to overcome a temptation, I feel a very nice sense of security. I don't feel any guilt or any evil consequences. And the best part about keeping the commandments is that I am not under the impending threat of God's wrath. Those who commit sins are only hurting themselves.
Keeping God's commandments is the only way I can feel safe. I don't feel safe in any church or any political system unless I do so within God's law. I know that if I don't break God's commandments, I will
always benefit in so many ways: spiritually, intellectually, consciously, and my mood is always cheerful.
The folly of today's governments and religions is self-evident by the complete chaos that they bring to mankind. Man's laws are so convoluted, that I have given up trying to figure out what they say. I have driven myself almost insane trying to understand these laws. But I do understand God's laws and those laws are what provides for my freedom. I am free from the guilt of sin and I actually feel better. If I commit a sin, I feel bad and my life is worse for it.
To me, it makes more sense to speak about the beauty of the commandments and to learn how to exercise the self-control over our sinful inclinations by abiding within God's doctrines. I don't feel safe within man's laws or religion, because they change and are modified along with the political whims or religious fads of the day. I don't trust the written word as they can be altered to the agenda of the writer. The written word must be tested against the things that are true and can be observed.
I referred to idolatry. Man has a bad habit of worshiping that which is created instead of the Creator who made the heavens and the earth. Some religions teach that a man can be a god. However, nature shows us that God created it and that there is no other way it can be. Thus, worshiping the Creator is the only proper religion or frame of mind that can prosper a man. There isn't any "force" to worship, it is only the Creator and that's it. If there is such a thing called Christianity, then Jesus Christ would have to be God in the flesh; or it is just another pagan religion. If I worship God the Creator, then I am effectively worshiping Jesus Christ assuming he is real. I can prove in my mind that God the Creator exists, but I can't do it with Jesus Christ because of the corruption of the scripture. The Christ taught in the churches is a completely different thing than the Christ of the scriptures. I can't tell from the writing alone, I have to have more evidence to make a coherent decision of what to believe. But I don't worry about it because I worship the Creator. And if the Creator came to earth in a man's body in Christ, then I have no problem believing it assuming it is true. But I refuse to worship anything that would be a false god, or an entity that is intended to deceive me. I can only trust in the truth.
Idolatry is in graven images. I've wonder why so many "churches" and government locations have so many statues. The US has the "Statue of Liberty" but these statues are only metal, wood, and other materials that are not alive. They can't stop a bird from crapping on them; they can't stop a dog from pissing on them, and they can't stop anyone from smashing them into little pieces. Yet, many people treat them as if they were gods. And herein lies our problem: disobeying God's commandments is going to destroy us all. Whether it is idolatry, sexual sin, murder, and lying, the fact is that all of these sins affect the whole of mankind.
If a man fornicates, it affects his wife and children in the most unseemly way. Children get confused, and the wife feels as if she has been torn apart inside. What goes on in Vegas is spread over the whole land. Our sins affect everyone and it destroys the life of mankind. If people don't start to repent and turn their lives around, this country especially will be completely destroyed. The morality should be God's commandments. Because when keeping these commandments, men will bring upon themselves the blessings of God. Life will be good.
So it is certainly possible to keep all of God's commandments all of the time, and if you don't know all of them, at least do those which you do know. There may be some understanding some of us may not know, but we should be able to use our reasoning to understand God's natural law. Any religion that says that it is impossible to keep God's laws are extremely stupid and are pagan, and they should never be given any attention. Life is too short to abide within the wrath of God.
It is easier to live a life under God's commandments than to continue in debauchery. While I am sometimes tempted to write about all of the wrongs, I would not be imparting any real knowledge or wisdom. The smart and intelligent man keeps the commandments and encourages others to do the same thing. If we all did more of that, we would begin to live the way God intended. The only safe place on earth is abiding within God's commandments.

Teaching and Power: Part One

2011-06-11T20:39:00.000-07:00

When I named my blog "Very Dumb Government" I didn't realize how much material I was going to be able to write about; just within fifteen months. Given the recent sexual scandals of various politicians and other celebrities I have been tempted to throw in my two cents. The problem is that it would not help anyone and just the act of pointing out what is wrong with government and religion would take just too long and accomplish nothing.
When I was at my free sabbatical in a federally-funded gated community, I decided to make it a point to work with God's commandments and simply try to keep them the best I could. Nothing else was working, so I asked for and received some of the early Christian writings that were not in the bible. I found some very simple writings that were actually more instructive and actually helped me to improve my own behavior, and gave me the strength to overcome temptations when they came my way. I learned to have an incredible amount of patience when I didn't have any, and I am able to suppress evil thoughts when they come my way.
So what I am going to do is post a part of the Epistle of Barnabus and the Shepherd of Hermas. Then I will post more details in the future as to how and why these things are valuable. The purpose of this is to help anyone who is interested in improving their life. It has been my experience, that my life gets better when I keep the commandments. Keeping the commandments is the only safe haven that I know of against stupid government and religion. It is the only place where I can think rationally.
I like to carry this in my pocket as these commandments have served me well in the last seven years.

From the Epistle of Barnabus

There are two ways of teaching and power; the one of light and the other of darkness, and there is a great difference between the two ways. For on the one are stationed the light giving angels of God, on the other are the angels of Satan.

And the one is the Lord from all eternity and unto all eternity, whereas the other is the Lord of iniquity that now is.

This then is the way of light, if anyone desiring to travel on the way to his appointed place would be zealous in his works. The knowledge then which is given to us whereby we may walk therein as follows:

Thou shalt love him that made thee,

Thou shalt fear him that created thee,

Thou shalt glorify him that redeemed thee from death,

Thou shalt simple in heart and rich in spirit,

Thou shalt not cleave to those who walk in the way of death,

Thou shalt hate everything that is not pleasing to God,

Thou shalt hate all hypocrisy,

Thou shalt never forsake the commandments of the Lord,

Thou shalt not exalt thyself, but shalt be lowly in all things,

Thou shalt not assume glory to thyself,

Thou shalt not entertain a wicked design against thy neighbor,

Thou shalt not admit boldness into thy soul.

Thou shalt not commit fornication, thou shalt not commit adultery,

Thou shalt not corrupt boys.

The word of God shall not come forth from thee where any are unclean.

Thou shall not make a difference in a person to reprove him for a transgression.

Thou shalt be meek, Thou shalt be quiet, Thou shalt be fearing the words which thou has heard.

Thou shalt not bear a grudge against thy brother.

Thou shalt not doubt whether a thing shall be or not be.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor more than thine own soul.

Thou shalt not murder a child by abortion, nor again kill it before it is born.

Thou shalt not withhold thy hand from they son or daughter, but from their youth thou shalt teach them

the fear of God.

Thou shalt not be found coveting thy neighbor's goods;

Thou shalt not be found greedy of gain.

Neither shalt thou cleave with thy soul to the lofty, but thou shalt walk with the humble and the righteous.

The accidents that befall thee thou shalt receive as good, knowing that nothing is done without God.

Thou shalt not be double-minded nor double-tongued.

Thou shalt be subject to thy masters as to a type of God in shame and fear.

[Only within the context of the commandments; there's no obligation or license to break any commandment.]

Thou shalt not command in bitterness they bondservant or thine handmaid who set their hope on the same God, lest haply, they should cease to fear the God who is over both of you; for he came not to call with respect of persons, but to call those whom the Spirit has prepared.

Thou shalt make thy neighbor partake in all things, and shalt not say anything is thine own. For if ye are fellow partakers in that which is imperishable, how much rather shall ye be in the things which are perishable.

Thou shalt not be hasty with thine own tongue, for the mouth is the snare of death.

So far as thou are able, thou shalt be pure for thy soul's sake.

Be not thou found of holding thy hands out to receive, and drawing them in to give.

Thou shalt love as the apple of thine eye every one that speaketh unto thee the Word of the Lord.

Thou shalt remember the day of judgment night and day, and thou shalt seek out day by day the persons of the saints, either laboring by word and going to exhort them and meditating how thou mayest save souls by thy word, or thou shalt work with thy hands as a ransom for thy sins.

Thou shalt not hesitate to give, neither shalt thou murmur when giving, but thou shalt know who is the good paymaster of they reward.

Thou shalt keep those things which thou has received, neither adding to them nor taking away from them.

Thou shalt utterly hate the Evil One.

Thou shalt judge righteously.

Thou shalt not make a schism, but thou shalt pacify them that contend by bringing them together.Thou shalt confess thy sins.

Thou shalt not betake thyself to prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of light.

The Shepherd of Hermes

I say to him, "Sir, these commandments are great and beautiful and glorious, (and are able to gladden the heart of the (man) who is able to observe them. But I know not whether these commandments can be kept by a man, for they are very hard." He answered and said unto me: "If thous set it before thyself that they can be kept, thou wilt easily keep them, and they will not be hard; but if it once enter into thy heart that they cannot be kept by a man, thou wilt not keep them. But now I say unto thee; if thou keep them not, but neglect them thou shalt not have salvation, neither thy children nor thy household, since thou hast already pronounced judgment against thyself that these commandments cannot be kept by a man."

Mandate 1

"First of all, believe God is One, even He who created all things set them in order, and brought all things from non-existence into being, who comprehendeth all things being alone incomprenhensable. Believe Him therefore, and fear Him, and in this fear be continent. Keep these things, can thou shalt cast off all wickedness from thyself, and shall clothe thyself with every excellence of righteousness, and shalt live unto God, if thou keep this commandment.

Mandate 2

He saith to me: "Keep simplicity and be guileless, and thou shalt be as little children, and know not the wickedness which destroyeth the life of men."

Mandate 3

Again he saith to me: "Love truth, and let nothing but truth proceed out of thy mouth, that the spirit which God made to dwell in this flesh may be found true in the sight of all men; and thus shall the Lord who dwelleth in thee, be glorified, for the Lord is true in every word, and with Him there is no falsehood."

Mandate 4

"I charge thee," saith he, "to keep purity and let not a thought enter into thy heart concerning another's wife, or concerning fornication, or concerning any such evil deeds; for in so doing thou committest a great sin."

Mandate 5

"Be thou long-suffering and understanding," he saith, "and thou shalt have the mastery over all evil deeds, and shall work all righteousness.

Mandate 6

"Do thou therefore trust righteousness, but trust not unrighteousness; but the way of unrighteousness is crooked. But walk thou straight [and level] path, and leave the crooked one alone."

________________________

In the natural order of life, it is not supposed to be difficult at all to keep God's commandments. But all of us have been taught just the opposite by satanic religions; some of them feigning Christianity. If you take the time to read the full versions of these two writings, you will see that these writings are loaded with practical thoughts that make it much easier to understand what mankind is supposed to do and how to do it. Getting control over our evil inclinations is a challenge, but we can do it if we set our minds to make it happen. The true spiritual battle is between good and evil. But remember, evil is incredibly weak. It can't function in the face of good. If every man refused to kill another man in war, then there would be no fuel for this kind of chaos. If every man decided to stop fornicating, the evil would have no one to carry out this evil deed. If every man decided to stop lying, all of the decisions would be founded upon truth rather than lies and error. If all of mankind stopped taking oaths, most of the evil of the world would be gone. Governments and religions as we know them now would go by the wayside. As it stands now, they are almost completely dysfunctional. Things would work much better.

God's laws cannot be defeated. They are a part of the natural law of the universe and they cannot be defeated successfully.

While these commandments from the Epistle of Barnabus and the Shepherd of Hermas are important, they are not totally complete. However, these writings give the reader a better understanding about the responsibilities of mankind to keep the commandments.

These commandments actually work. I am using them and nothing is better than knowing when to depart a bad thought, or getting angry in a situation that I have no control over, and especially keeping me away from idolaters. Most governments and religions are pagan in influence and are of no service to anyone but themselves. And even then, they still lose. Their power is only momentary, but God's judgment will be in their path.

The Lie Doesn't Work for Good

2011-05-31T17:54:00.000-07:00

I am in the process of reading "Where's the Birth Certificate" by Jerome Corsi, and I cannot help but notice how the lie is so destructive. "Where's the Birth Certificate" is very similar to the old tax protester question: "show me the law." Many people like me believed in the "rule of law," only to be very disappointed when we came to find that there isn't any body of law coming from mankind that is usable or dependable. The only law that I have found that works and is dependable are God's commandments; nothing else. I hope to demonstrate that the whole governmental and religious systems are built upon the satanic principles of the lie.
I have written quite extensively on this blog about the dangers of the oath and it is the foundation of the problem. Any man who takes an oath is a liar. The reason is that at the moment the man takes the oath, he has no idea if he can fulfill that oath. So the very act of taking an oath means that he is lying right from the start. Once the lie is in place, the rest is downhill, and nothing good will ever come from any thought or action based upon a lie. Swearing oaths belongs to God and to God only because He is the only one who has the capacity to honor His oath.
Lying is how people can manipulate others to do something that they wouldn't normally do. If a man bases his opinion or perceived facts upon a lie, then all of his thoughts and actions will not have a good result, because they are based upon false information. Many people ask why doesn't Obama just show his birth certificate? Obviously, he doesn't want people to know what it says. I have no idea why he doesn't want to release a valid copy of it, other than there's something he doesn't want to make public. Apparently, the law that establishes a liability for income tax is also a secret that the government doesn't want to disclose. The only way the government can keep the lie going is to tell yet more lies to delay the manifestation of the truth. Governments lie because they are in the business of stealing, putting people in prison, and killing them. The whole purpose if this kind of government is to destroy mankind the way God intended; thus, the "new world order." The old world order is that which is founded upon the principles of the Creator which is primarily supported by the evidence of nature itself, and supported by truthful scriptures. The new world order is Satan's world order. Government is working exactly as it was intended; to ruin and destroy the lives of men, women, and children. Corsi's book is well written, but the effort is like documenting every piece of crap in the cesspool. The possibilities are endless. The problem is that government lies so much that it is difficult to keep track of them. In fact, I'm at a point to where I don't know how to sort out all the lies that they tell. Of course, if you get in a jam with the government, you can always hire another liar who is called a lawyer. Lawyers, being under oath, will almost guarantee that you will have a bad outcome.
Lying in religion is no better; in fact, I'm of the opinion that bad religion and bad government go hand in hand. Think about it, some guy puts on a fancy robe; judges do the same thing, in order to deceive the people into thinking that they have civil or spiritual authority that they don't have under natural law. The robes and the reversed collars are there to make people think they are something that they are not.
Christian groups argue incessantly about whether or not Jesus is God in the flesh or if he was something other than what the gospels say. Some Christian groups say that there's no hell, some say that one has to be "saved" by baptism, or that there was to be a "rapture" on May 21st, 2011. Others say one cannot be saved by keeping God's commandments. So then someone is lying, and these lies are extremely destructive because they brainwash mankind with the deviant information. Instead of obeying God's commandments, many "Christian" groups say that the commandments don't need to be kept; Satan thinks that too. Anything from God that benefits mankind is always excoriated by evil doers.

The Unite States Constitution is based upon the oath; oath taking is lying, thus the whole system is cursed from the beginning. Most religious groups that I am aware of use the oath, which means that they are also liars. These religious groups are also cursed from the beginning and are of no service to anyone. Any good that they do is always twisted to the promulgation of evil. And all people need to do is to watch their pathetic behavior and understand that the evil is a natural outpouring of the cursed system. From a satanic viewpoint, the system is working perfectly. It is supposed to be screwed up; it is supposed to be rotten to the core. Millions of innocent people die or have their lives ruined by evil government and religion. Lies are constantly inculcated into people because of the twisted and cursed media outlets. Very little truth comes out and very little is done to oppose the liars.
The power of government and religion lies in their ability to steal, cheat, put in prison, and murder as many people as it can; because that is the purpose of government and religion under the oath.
This is why we have so many problems in the world because of the incessant disobedience of God's natural law against lying.
If I lie to someone, then the person who hears it starts thinking in a way that is untrue. Through the course of his thought processes he then starts to see evidence contrary to what he heard from me. He starts to question what I said, but since I'm his friend he's thinking that I wouldn't lie to him. So he asks me a question about the first lie, I then tell him yet another lie to cover-up the first one. So he wastes time trying to sort this all out and accomplishes nothing. If he buys the lie and then acts upon it, then his mind is destroyed and his actions go into error. This is what bad government and bad religion does to people. They destroy the mind and make it weak. The destroyed mind cannot think rationally and operates in a type of a satanic stupor of idiocy.
If lies were allowed in engineering, cars wouldn't go, buildings would fall down, bridges would collapse, and anything built wouldn't work. Yet, we the people accept the lies of people in government and religion as if they were normal. In fact, most of us at one time or another have believed in things that are not true. Corsi's book is an extreme example of this dynamic. Our minds and our lives are being destroyed by lies. Whether we are rich or poor; or somewhere in between, our minds are constantly being twisted to think along the lines of the new world order.
The only sane reaction to the musings of religious and government people under oath is contained in two words: bull shit. When any of them start to talk, I feel as if I am listening to gibberish. Lying is gibberish and it weakens the mind. In the case of Obama's birth certificate, just listening to his nonsense provokes the two word response: bull shit. Anyone who has examined the document released by the White House knows that any scanned document would not have any of the layers found on the one presented by Obama. So we now know that Obama is a liar. But you can't just blame him. The whole "government" is like him. If they were different, they would not allow him to continue as President. The Constitution of the United States is just a big lie in and of itself, and by the inactions of Congress on this one issue, shows that the document is just window dressing. The "Bill of Rights" is a complete fraud; total bull shit. If you think that's harsh, try using them and see what happens.
Remember, a half-truth is not the truth' it is still a lie. I believe that the main cause of the problem is a spiritual problem; the oath. The oath is the bond to Satan. The whole process is cursed and nothing good comes from it. The success of American people is not dependent upon the government; the success of the American people is in spite of the government, not because of it.
I suggest that if you read Jerome Corsi's book: "Where's the Birth Certificate" that you then watch how the various media, law enforcement, and political principals ignore the clear facts of this issue. None of us can stop these people from lying, but we can expose their lies for what they are, and all we have to do is to observe what is in plain sight.
The best thing to do would be to remove the oath from the constitution and get it in line with God's commandments instead. The world is getting completely out of control of any moral standards and God's commandments are the only things that will profit and benefit mankind. The act of lying sets in motion the most unspeakable evil; it's time to start telling the truth.

Westboro Baptist Church: Burning the Koran..Quran.

2011-04-10T12:33:00.000-07:00

     I have had some experience with Baptists and as a Christian, I find that their churches are nothing more than pagan counterfeits. I believe this is true of Westboro Baptist Church, because of their constant taunting of Muslims, homosexuals, and other groups of people. While these people are not abiding in the scriptures or the will of God, neither are these Baptists. It is one thing to oppose those people who are in conflict with the natural law, but it is another to taunt them; giving them more credibility than they deserve.
   In the Book of Ecclesiasticus, removed from use by the pagans feigning Christianity, there is a very instructive verse: "Kindle not the coals of a sinner, lest thou be burnt with the flame of his fire." It serves no purpose to burn a Koran just to agitate Muslims. In the case of this burning, other people were killed and murdered and the pastor has received multiple death threats. It serves no purpose to make demonstrations like this because people are going to believe what they want to believe. The wisdom of this verse is saying in effect: "Leave them alone."
   My experience with Baptists as a group is that they act like a bunch of jerks, and this is a perfect example of a Baptist. Rather than acting like a Christian, they act just like the people they are criticizing. It would be in the better interest of Christians that people act like Christians rather than a bunch of idiots.
This organization has put itself on the same side as the Muslims in that they are contributing to the chaos that satanic religions promulgate. The demonstration does not impart any wisdom, it just imparts more hatred all the way around. The continual hatred and killing of people is going to destroy us all if we don't get a handle on the problem. The difficulty is mankind isn't keeping God's commandments, and as a result he is destroying the very life that God gave him to live and prosper. The Westboro Baptist Church is not contributing to the edification of anyone, but instead act like jerks and discourage even more people regarding Christianity. They are acting just like the Muslims. And perhaps, that's the whole purpose of Baptists; to make Christianity look bad.

Arizona Abortion Law: No Baby Left Behind

2011-03-30T21:54:00.000-07:00

     I named this website: Very Dumb Government because I know that there is not going to be any shortage of material. Apparently, there's a law that does not allow the abortion of children based upon gender or race. I guess this is the new enlightened government. No, we don't want to discriminate against race or gender, hell, let's just get everybody. Did it ever occur to these morons that abortion is murder? That abortion will stain everyone who is involved with it. It is a disgusting and barbaric practice from the Devil's handbook. This is why I think government is a waste of time and it completely destructive in terms of what it produces for mankind.
     Abortion violates the commandment: "Thou shalt not kill." Murder or killing is not allowed by God's commandments. This practice is the most vile and evil thing a person can do. His conscience has been seared as Hitler's must have been.
     For a satanist, killing babies requires no courage; only cowardly actions by the abortionists. It is easy to pick on a little child when it is in the womb. The sins of this practice defile our land and put all of us under the wrath of God who tolerate such evil. And the government, in all of its insanity, essentially says that murder is something that must be applied without discrimination. White baby; black baby; Mexican baby: Asian baby;--it doesn't matter to the government, you can kill them all, just don't discriminate regarding race or gender. I thought I had seen everything, but Arizona has really outdone itself this time.
     This is why I think the people in government are psychotic jerks.

I'm Not Human!

2011-03-27T17:01:00.000-07:00

   I was thinking about getting a job at a corporation until I realized that I would have to go through "HR" which is the Human Resources department. Here's my problem: I'm not human. I could never figure out why I don't play well with corporations, but now I know. I've been living my whole life thinking I was human when I wasn't. I never was human, I'm not human, and I never will be human. I am not a human being; I am not a humanitarian. I don't write about human interests because there is no such thing as a human being. In fact, when I tell people I'm not human, they think I've gone off my rocker. But words mean things, and the words human being means something other than what most people think.
     The meaning of the word human is a man, woman, or child that is a "bi-pedal primate mammal". In other words: a monkey. The words human being means a man, woman, or child that is a derivative of a primate or a monkey. It is the religious, government, and so-called educational systems that have used this obnoxious term to apply to a man, woman, or a child. In fact, all of the laws will refer to "persons" which are in turn defined as human beings: monkeys. These low life institutions refer to people as beasts and treat us as if we were livestock. And of course, they have a word for us: human. Rather than calling us slaves, they call us human. Most people don't know the difference in terms so they are content to repeat what other people say. Actually, that's how most of us learn our languages.
     So, now that you know that you are not human, some of the possibilities are almost comical. I actually tell people that I'm not human without the explanation. Since I have long hair and a long beard, I really get some odd looks. Of course, I do this for my own entertainment and it keeps me quite amused. Sometimes I will explain myself, but sometimes I don't. Even though I like bananas, I do not consider myself an ancestor of any primate mammal.
     But if you're a government jerk, there is a certain method to their madness to labeling a man, woman, or child as some kind of beast. And of course, with the ALL CAPITAL LETTERS (look at your driver's license) refers to a fiction. The government forces us to assume the position of a beast or an animal and then steals what it thinks they can get. This is just one other way how government and bad religion use words to destroy the status and lives of men. To the government, we are just a bunch of beasts. They of course, believing in evolution, are just the elite beasts; but beasts nonetheless. Here we see how they mislead people which makes them a bunch of liars and miscreants of the lowest order. Any satanic system is going to be used to destroy the lives of men, women, and children.
      So our government and religious systems are in fact nothing more than slavery but without the physical chains. This is why government wants to "educate" children so that they can re-educate the beasts. They train us just like circus animals: jump, sit, roll over, stop, and go. But the mental chains are always present.
The use of the term "human" inculcates upon a man's mind until he starts using this term regarding other men. When in fact there is no such thing as a human being. A human being doesn't exist. A human being is a fiction. A human being is a lie and a fraud.
     Whether you believe in God or not, the fact is that we are all creations of God: men, women, and children. And we ought to treat each other as such and not degrade the status of mankind.
     Now, the next time you encounter someone, just tell them you are not human, and it may make your day.

Good, Evil, and Patience

2011-03-05T14:24:00.000-08:00

   I remember reading something a few years back that I still need to remind myself that there is no advantage to learning all about evil. The verse is out of the Wisdom of Jesus Son of Sirach a.k.a. Ecclesiasticus : The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, neither at any time the counsel of sinners prudence. When we learn evil or rotten things, we do not achieve wisdom in knowing these things. Some of the evil we see or hear we cannot avoid, but that which we can avoid is better not to know. The only reason to know evil is to know enough not to be involved in it.
   For many years I have been studying conspiracy theories and so with every new thing that I discovered, some other rotten thing would raise its ugly head. It's one thing keeping track of all of it, but now what am I going to do with all this knowledge? What do I get out of it? What good does it do for me to know all of it? So was knowing all about these evil things benefiting me in any way? Is there any benefit to me of documenting every turd in the cesspool? I'd go from one meeting to another learning all kinds of things that have no practical value. Evil is evil and there's really no benefit to knowing anything of it other than to stay away from it.
   I think it would be more beneficial to the reader for me to share some of the things that I was able to learn while I was on my sabbatical with Club Fed. What appeared to be a disaster--in a lot of ways it was--became a very productive learning experience. I had to adjust to everything as my life was completely different.
   A big step in my learning occurred at the above verse. Realizing that there is no wisdom in the knowledge of evil, lifted a big burden off of my mind. It seems that just viewing things that are evil will completely distort the mind. And if the mind is consistently exposed to lies, then the mind cannot operate properly because the information that is within that mind is wrong and distorted. This is why we have so many problems as we don't know the correct information in order to make any intelligent and righteous decisions. So rather than listing to the nonsense, I try to shut it out and not pay attention to it. If we make decisions about anything with distorted information, then we will drive ourselves nuts trying to make any sense of it. There are so many sources for the intake of evil that I have to be careful in what I do so that I can keep my mind free from it. I found that being isolated in a jail for long periods of time was actually a benefit to me because there was less nonsense for me to endure. Being isolated for long periods gave me time to use my mind in a proper fashion because it wasn't distracted by a bunch of false information.
   I wanted to use the prison experience for my own benefit, and so I made it a point to readjust my thinking in a way that was more rational. My opinion about things stayed about the same but how I deal with them has changed dramatically. I soon realized that things that are stupid and evil cannot be fixed, so it doesn't make any sense to try to repair something that cannot be fixed. In addition, it doesn't make any sense to learn any more of something that I can't do anything about under the circumstance. Rather than frustrate myself, I simply began to stand aloof from those things that I thought were evil.
   So I turned inward and decided that I would try to improve myself by obtaining virtues that I didn't have --knowing that anything that I did in this area was going to be a benefit to me. If I can't do too much about the evil of other people, I certainly could do something to improve my own character by learning and implementing virtues that will produce good things rather than evil. When I pay attention to the details and actually build up my own character by learning virtues, I always benefit from it and I am never disappointed.
   One of the most beneficial things I have learned is patience. I never have very much of it. I was never taught how to be patient. It's one thing for someone to say: be patient, the the problem for most of us is that we never learned how to be patient. The best instruction I have received was by an article by the early Christian writer called Tertullian. http://www.graceofrepentance.com/Patience.pdf  I carefully studied the principles in this article that gave me the tools to acquire patience. I can always do better, but at least I now know what I should be doing.
   If patience is of God; then impatience is of the Devil. Tertullian says that patience is "the pilot of peace".
And for me, this was an important lesson I had learned because by learning this I was able to get a handle on the torment inflicted by evil people. I am able to manage it by allowing myself to stand out of the way and let God take the revenge.
   Evil people enjoy the pain of others; that's just the way they are and they enjoy the torment and the chaos that their evil brings upon a man. The problem good people have is that it seems that they have to act like the evil people if they retaliate. If I am provoked into a fight with someone and I take the bait, then I am just as guilty as the one who provoked me. So then, it is much better to simply remain quiet and let the provoker spin his wheels.
   For example: When I was in prison, I had a cell mate who took issue with something that I told him and he wanted to fight. I had just finished this article and I chose not to respond to his provocations. He would continue to bait me for about two to three weeks trying to get me to take the first swing. He would start babbling and I wouldn't respond with one word; I wouldn't respond with one action. I simply remained quiet, which was very difficult for someone like myself. I would ask myself what benefit would I get if I pounded on him. I would probably break my knuckles, get in even more trouble, and then I would get another few years for assaulting someone. There was no benefit in it for me, but there was a lot of physical and spiritual risk.
   What happened is even more amazing. This guy really hated my guts. In a way, I was inflicting more pain on him because of my silence and patience. But somewhere along the line his attitude towards me changed. He started to become respectful, engaged in small talk, and even helped me help a friend who needed some paperwork done. By the time this guy was released, he was treating me with respect and all of the other nonsense was avoided. I was shocked by how well this worked. It showed me the value and power of virtue over evil. Indeed, Tertullian's saying about patience being the pilot of peace is not only true, but it works. It worked to my benefit. Patience is more powerful than evil. Evil is weak; patience is strong. This was something that I saw with my own eyes. That lesson learned made up for the 5years and 2 months I was in prison.
   Rather than trying to fix evil, I think it is best to separate from it. This takes patience, but it can be done. The evil will destroy itself, just by the very nature of its character. I don't have to do anything. I can see the value of letting God take revenge. If I do it, then I may not give out enough or I may give out too much. God
is the one who knows how much revenge a man will get. Since all of us need a place for repentance and forgiveness, it would be wrong to kill someone as their chance for repentance has been taken away. And I think this is why God lets things go for so long because there is always that chance for repentance. God's patience is eternal.
   "Evil is impatience of good." So that when we try to learn about more evil we don't get any good out of it.
The course of action would seem to be that it would be better to separate from it and let it rot under its own corruption. The better choice would be to learn how to be patient.
   In the case I just mentioned, I exercised my patience by keeping my mouth shut and by keeping my hands to myself. I simply withdrew from the evil and I got a good result. I let the evil wear itself out. In this case,
the revenge was that the man was unhappy because he couldn't get me to retaliate, but his unhappiness and pain could be considered the revenge; but God did it, not me. All I had to do was to remain silent and do nothing. I do admit that it took a little getting used to but I was able to get it done in this case.
   There is very little instruction that I am aware of in any of the scriptures. Tertullian, a prolific writer of the ante-Nicean Christian church did a good job in describing patience and so far it is the best writing I could find on this subject. I know that most of what he wrote is true because I used it the way he stated it. It works.
   To continue to study the evil in government, religion, and media upsets the mind and the spirit and there is no good to come from the knowledge. Once it is identified as evil--as on the foundation of an oath--its serves no purpose in learning anymore of it. It would be better to spend the time to learn how to be patient.
   I will be posting more on virtues and things we can do to improve our character and make our lives more useful to ourselves and to the God who created us.

Very Few Words Needed

2011-03-01T12:53:00.000-08:00

Barnabas 10:4
Neither shalt thou eat eagle nor falcon nor kite nor crow. Thoushalt not, He saith, cleave unto, or be likened to, such men who knownot how to provide food for themselves by toil and sweat, but intheir lawlessness seize what belongeth to others, and as if they werewalking in guilelessness watch and search about for some one to robin their rapacity, just as these birds alone do not provide food forthemselves, but sit idle and seek how they may eat the meat that
belongeth to others, being pestilent in their evil-doings.

Exerpts from The Epistle of Barnabus and The Shepherd of Hermas

2011-02-20T16:21:00.000-08:00

When I was in prison, I needed something to keep me going. While some of the Bible was useful, I found that some of the books outside of the Bible were more instructive. The Epistle of Barnabus is just one important example. I had taken these words and I actually typed them and put them in my pocket. I would pull them out to review them when I felt I needed to refresh my mind. I plan to post this in .pdf format on my website at: http://www.graceofrepentance.com
_______________________________________________________________________________

There are two ways of teaching and power; the one of light and the other of darkness, and there is a great difference between the two ways. For on the one are stationed the light giving angels of God, on the other are the angels of Satan. And the one is the Lord from all eternity and unto all eternity, whereas the other is the Lord of iniquity that now is. This then is the way of light, if anyone desiring to travel on the way to his appointed place would be zealous in his works. The knowledge then which is given to us whereby we may walk therein as follows:
Thou shalt love him that made thee,
Thou shalt fear him that created thee,
Thou shalt glorify him that redeemed thee from death,
Thou shalt be simple in heart and rich in spirit,
Thou shalt not cleave to those who walk in the way of death,
Thou shalt hate everything that is not pleasing to God,
Thou shalt hate all hypocrisy,
Thou shalt never forsake the commandments of the Lord,

Thou shalt not exalt thyself, but shat be lowly in all things,
Thou shalt not assume glory to thyself,
Thou shalt not entertain a wicked design against thy neighbor,
Thou shalt not admit boldness into thy soul.

Thou shalt not commit fornication, Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not corrupt boys.
The word of God shall not come forth from thee where any are unclean.
Thou shalt not make a difference in a person to reprove him for a transgression.
Thou shalt be meek, Thou shalt be quiet, Thou shalt be fearing the words which thou has heard,
Thou shalt not bear a grudge against thy brother.
Thou shalt not doubt whether a thing shall be or not be.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain.
Thou shalt love they neighbor more than thine own soul.
Thou shalt not murder a child by abortion, nor again kill it before it is born.
Thou shalt not withhold thy hand from thy son or daughter, but from their youth thou shalt teach them the fear of God.
Thou shalt not be found coveting thy neighbor's goods;
Thou shalt not be found greedy of gain.
Neither shalt thou cleave with thy soul to the lofty, but thou shalt walk with the humble and the righteous.
The accidents that befall thee thou shalt receive as good, knowing that nothing is done without God.
Thou shalt not be double-minded nor double-tongued.
Thou shalt be subject to thy masters as to a type of God in shame and fear.
Thou shalt not command in bitterness thy bondservant or thine handmaid who set their hope on the same God, lest haply, they should cease to fear the God who is over both of you; for he came not to call with respect of persons, but to call those whom the Spirit has prepared.
Thou shalt make thy neighbor partake in all things, and shalt not say anything is thine own. For if ye are fellow partakers in that which is imperishable, how much rather shall ye be in the things which are perishable.
Thou shalt not be hasty with thine own tongue, for the mouth is the snare of death.
So far as thou art able, thou shat be pure for thy soul's sake.
Be not thou found of holding thy hands out to receive, and drawing them in to give.
Thou shalt love as the apple of thine eye everyone that speaketh unto thee the Word of the Lord.
Thou shalt remember the day of judgment night and day, and thou shalt seek out day by day the persons of the saints, either laboring by word and going to exhort them and meditating how thou mayest have souls by thy word, or thou shalt work with thy hands as a ransom for thy sins.
Thou shalt not hesitate to give, neither shalt thou murmur when giving, but thou shalt know who is the good paymaster of thy reward.
Thou shalt keep those things which thou has received, neither adding to them nor taking away from them.
Thou shalt utterly hate the Evil One.
Thou shalt judge righteously.
Thou shalt not make a schism, but thou shalt pacify them that contend by bringing them together.
Thou shalt confess thy sins.
Thou shalt not betake thyself to prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of light.

The Shepherd of Hermas

I say to him, "Sir, these commandments are great and beautiful and glorious, (and are able to gladden the heart of the (man) who is able to observe them. But I know not whether these commandments can be kept by a man, for they are very hard." He answered and said unto me: "If thou set it before thyself that they can be kept, thou wilt easily keep them, and they will not be hard; but if it once enter into thy heart that they cannot be kept by a man, thou wilt not keep them. But now I say unto thee; if thou keep them not, but neglect them thou shalt not have salvation, neither thy children nor thy household, since thous hast already pronounced judgment against thyself that these commandments cannot be kept by a man."

Richard Michael Simkanin: Dead in Prison 12-28-2010

2011-02-17T22:46:00.000-08:00

   I was shocked when I was informed that Richard had passed away. I was in the middle of answering a letter he had sent to me in November. We were both a part of the "tax protester" movement and both of us appeared in the USA Today Ad regarding the fraud of the income tax along with three or four other men. I actually met Dick at a meeting in Arlington Virginia in February of 2001. Both of us gave speeches regarding the problem with the income tax and that we as "employers" were not required to withhold funds from our workers' paychecks. Dick went to prison around the end of 2003 if I remember correctly, and I went to prison in May of 2005.
   Dick was one of the nicest men I've ever known. He had a great sense of duty to the truth and he was always respectful of other peoples' views, even if he disagreed with them. He also had a great sense of humor. Both of us trusted the system. We had faith in a system that we thought were governed by a certain set of laws and moral principles; we were wrong. In both cases, exculpatory evidence was withheld from the jury to insure our convictions. In my case, I remember standing in front of a judge showing how the income tax was repealed in 1939, yet when I brought this up I was told that I had to pay my taxes. So much for the written law.
   One thing Dick said to me in a letter that cut to the heart was the following: "Please don't send anything about mainstream Christianity. It's been so watered down it's actually reverted back to paganism. I read your article about "Idiot", it was good and it fits today's Christian." The reason why it cut to the heart is because I agreed with him. Having spent time reading the Bible for over 25 years it is my conclusion that what is being passed off as Christianity is nothing more than paganism. The Christianity part is the "sheep's clothing" on the wolf. ( The article Dick was referring to is: How Did We Become Such Idiots?" which is posted here on this blog, and a .pdf version is posted on http://www.graceofrepentance.com) Those who call themselves "Christians" don't act like Christians nor do they want to do much to improve their behavior.
   The reason for this is simple. There are only two ways a man can go: either it is going to be God's way, which is God's world order, or it is going to be Satan's way, which is the "new world order". New world order is just another name for Satanism. What Dick and I didn't understand was that the government and religious systems are essentially the same thing, just the flavor is different. So we both jumped into the cesspool thinking we could do some good with it, when in fact, all we did was to destroy our families and businesses. Dick had a $5,000,000 plastic extruding company, and I had a more modest aviation flight bag manufacturing company which grossed over $1,000,000 in its best year. Between the two of us, we had about 50+ people working at any one time. Both Dick and I became divorced from our wives over this, and my marriage of 32 years broke under the pressure of the battle with the "government". I think our problem was that we just couldn't fix stupid; we couldn't fix evil. Stupid and evil are the essential ingredients of a government that is completely outside of God's laws. So, nothing good happens when they do anything. And seeing how it was operating under Bush and now Obama, the end result is stupid and evil.
   I understand that the Feds buried him as no one from his family claimed his body. The "patriot" movement ran scared and were more trouble than anything else. It provided a false hope, a false hope of some kind of remedy under a system that is completely on the dark side. You see, Dick was still in prison because some wing-nut provided to him some papers to file in the court, and as a result, he got another seven years for violating supervised release. So that makes me think that this could have been done to him on purpose. Anyone who thinks that the U.S. Constitution is a document of freedom is either naive or just stupid; maybe both. There is no law other than Smith and Wesson 101. This country does not have a true body of law that can be used. I suspect that the reason for that lies with the use of the oath.
   But what I come away with in my relationship as a friend of Richard Simkanin, is that this was a man who I had a lot of respect for and I felt honored that we were both friends. He had the courage of his convictions and he actually acted upon them. While I didn't always agree with him, he was a man who believed in getting to the truth. Eventually, we both were able to come to the same conclusions on many things. And when he called today's "Christians" pagans, he hit the mark right on the spot. Richard will be missed by a few of us and will be remembered by a few of us and I was very happy to be able to call him my friend.

On Reading and Writing

2011-02-14T15:35:00.000-08:00

   A few months ago, I finished my first book called: The Grace of Repentance: Keeping God's Commandments. It may be purchased at: http://www.graceofrepentance.com   And when I finished the book, I realized just how dangerous putting faith in any writing can be. And as we see the growth of the Quran and the apparent corruption of the Bible, it started to settle in my head that the scribble only has at best, secondary authority for anything. The scribble (writing) is only as good as the truth it reflects. The written law for instance, is only as good as to the consistency in which it is enforced. The biggest problem that I see in all of this is that the reader has very limited ability to confirm any writing of history because it is always written by the one who is in power.
   Reading and writing has the power to completely distort a man's mind. If just one lie or even an unintended misinformation is taken in, it can completely distort a man's thinking from reality. Since my experience has been with the Bible, I have seen just how easy it is to distort the intent of the writing by simply adjusting the text to fit the agenda of the writer. And the result is that chaos is put into a man's mind and his thinking becomes so distorted he doesn't know what is right or wrong. Any action taken upon that writing can get him into a lot of trouble. Because the action that he takes from false information will usually be one that he doesn't not really want for himself. He does it because it is written down.
   A man is only responsible to fear God and keep His commandments, and by following the commandments will always end up with a good outcome; disobeying the commandments always has a bad outcome. If I am told by someone that I don't have to keep the commandments any longer, then I am being misinformed. And if I act upon that misinformation, I will receive even more trouble. This I know to be true because I have experienced it. Every time I have relied upon a writing, at least in a spiritual or political sense, without testing the veracity of it, I have always been the worse off for it. For instance, if I read: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth", I know that is true because there can be no other reason for the existence of the universe and those living things upon it. So, I don't need a bible to tell me that God created it because I can see the evidence of the creation itself. I experience my own existence as I am continually conscious of it.
Conversely, if I study the evidence of the theory of evolution, I can see that it is completely without merit and is about as stupid as anything can get. However, if a bunch of brainwashed scientists decide to write evolution down in a scientific journal, many people will look to the writing as an authority in and of itself.
   Here is the problem I see right now. People tend to give too much authority to something that is scribbled. Just because it is scribbled doesn't mean that it has any veracity. The only way a writing can have any authority is if what is written is the truth. Anything less than that, makes the document false, unusable, and completely good for nothing.
   So when considering religious or political ideas the scribble only has authority if it is true or it is true in its practice. Any bible or constitution is of no value if the moral principles they reflect are not honored by those who put themselves in authority.
   I have come to the point to where I don't like to read as much as I used to because I really don't know what kind of material I am learning or whether it is even true. How can I believe anything that a corrupted religious or political leader writes unless I have another way of verifying the information?
   Any writing must be looked at critically before it is believed or even used. In my opinion, we all should be much more critical of what we put into our minds so that we do not distort reality and truth.

Swear an Oath; Tell a Lie

2010-03-07T10:58:00.000-08:00

Swear and Oath; Tell a Lie

I've been thinking about the oath again, and one of the things that has crossed my mind is if a man takes an oath, is he not lying? While he may have all the right intentions, how is it that he knows that he'll be able to keep the oath? The answer is obvious. He cannot know for sure whether or not he will keep it because he cannot accurately predict the future. So when he takes an oath, he is lying. There is no true oath that a man can lawfully take; they are all false. So then a false oath is one taken by a man or woman, and they are false just by their very nature. Only God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth can swear an oath. A man who swears oaths is one who is attempting to usurp the authority of God Himself. This of course is stupid, because the attempt to usurp His authority by swearing oaths is weak and dysfunctional.

Why are the oaths used? The intent of the oath, as all things that are against God, is to destroy mankind. There is no other purpose for it. The oath has a man violate God's law just by taking it. The oath is an act of idolatry, and it is so commonplace, that its presence is hardly noticed. Yet, it is present in almost all political and religious systems. The only religious system that forbids it is true scriptural Christianity.

The oath is the primary tool of antichrist to destroy mankind and ruin his life in so many ways. It sets mankind upon the path of evil; disabling him from doing any good for himself because the oath is the oath of bondage. it binds the soul to a bond; it is the worst thing a man can do to himself. Those people in the United States, in the political system, who are on the "right" or on the "left" always speak about their oaths to the system. What they do not realize is that the oath is the major component of death and hell. The U.S. Constitution could have been written without the oath, but it was put in because those "founding fathers" were subject to antichrist and not the Jesus Christ (the Messiah) of the true scriptures. Thus, the whole political and legal systems are bad religion rather than a type of politically system. In this case, religion and politics are intimately intertwined by the oath; it is the common denominator when reduced to its lowest form of evil.

Swearing oaths offends our Creator. If there is a quick and easy way for a man to put himself in hell, the oath would be the primary tool to get the job done. And this is why nothing good gets accomplished within the religious and political systems of the world who use the oath. It is very clear in the Gospel of Matthew that a man is not to swear any oaths, yet this is done over and over again, everyday of the year. Think about it, it would have been just as easy to write the Constitution without the oath. If they wanted a system like the one they had, why use the oath? I think this is the key to satanic "authority". Evil comes from Satan, Satan is evil, Satan and his angels swore an oath to offend God, and the rest is history. The oath is a symbol of fealty that binds a man to the authority of Satan. This should explain why everything is so confused and chaotic in the world's religious and political systems. Thus, the Constitution of the united States, using the oath, becomes a bankruptcy, tax, and slave document. It is not the document of freedom so many people are led to believe. And it is the oath that pushes it over the edge from being acceptable to God our Creator, to nothing more than a dysfunctional document founded upon the principles (or lack thereof) of Lucifer.

The swearing of oaths is the major problem of man in keeping away from evil. The remedy is quite simple: don't swear any more oaths. This is what repentance and amending our lives is all about. If most people would understand this, life in all countries would become more tolerable. But under the oath, we subject ourselves to the most evil and decrepit existence that we can every imagine. Because it sets the whole course of mankind upon the path of death and hell. There is no other way to say it. There is no virture in any oath taken by a man; only God the Creator has the capacity of taking an oath.

There is no power for a man in taking an oath because it always leads to evil; destruction of his body and soul. There is no other purpose in it. The oath taking is designed to bring upon himself death and hell, and it does do a very efficacious job. It is one of the easiest things to stop doing. However, it would put the recalcitrant government and religious systems into utter chaos, as they are the ones who depend upon each and every one of us to becomes slaves to their stupid and feudal system of evil and debauchery. Unfortunately, most of us do not know exactly how to extract ourselves from such a system.

While we cannot stop other people from being stupid for swearing oaths, each one of us can manage our own behavior by simply refusing any form of oaths.

Here are some of the consequences in the refusal of oaths. You will be on the first step to repentance:

You will not be able to vote; as if it did any good to begin with. You will stop offending God.
You will have to scratch off the "under the penalties of perjury" from any form such as a signature card at a bank.
Your life will get better in ways you would have never imagined.
Your soul will improve and heal from the spiritual rot of the oath.
You will acquire a better disposition and will build up your character.
It will set your life on a more reasonable course by being obedient to His commandments.

by not swearing oaths, a man or woman will avoid a lot of misery from future torment because all sins have the payback from God. The bond of slavery will be gone, and the peace and truth that comes with living within God's natural order will start to flourish in your life. Of course, it is important to keep all of God's commandments, but for this article, the oath is the one thing that puts everything on the darkside.

The oath has its place in the more capable hands of the God who created us, and not in the unfit hands of evil men. In my opinion, a false oath is the one that is taken by a man; a valid oath is one that is performed by God. Man cannot rise up to God's level because he is a created being. But in order to live a godly life, the oath must be left behind. Remember, if you decide to keep doing it, don't expect your life to get any better, because it won't. But there is a profound inner peace when the oath is gone. This is an outstanding way to begin to a complete repentance, and to start keeping His commandments.

There appears to be another oath within the Acts of Pilot which is odd because in the beginning of the piece, the Jews who were on the side of Jesus Christ said swearing oaths was unlawful for them. If an oath was included in the writing, then it was probably inserted by an apostate. Please note the words in The Didache: "Thou shalt not swear."

All Bad Things Flow from the Oath of a Man

2010-02-27T17:13:00.000-08:00

   “Do you swear to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?” Stop! Don’t do it.
   “I declare under the penalties of perjury that the forgoing is true and correct....” Stop! Don’t sign it.
Is there any place for an oath within the teachings of true scriptural Christianity? We will examine the problem with swearing of oaths and the horrible consequences that they produce. Government workers, the military, registered voters, signature cards on band accounts, secret societies such as free masons, judges, lawyers, physicians and many other groups, depend upon the oath in the establishment of their organizations.
What did Jesus Christ say regarding oaths? “Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, ’Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform thine oaths to the Lord. But I say unto you, Swear not at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God: Nor yet by the earth, for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem: for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thine head, because thou canst nor make one hair white or black. But let your communications be Yea, yea: Nay, nay. For whatsoever is more than these, cometh of evil.” (Matthew 5:33-37 Geneva Bible)
There is no question about Christ’s intent when he made this statement about oaths. By taking or making an oath, we perform and evil deed, and we put ourselves in the dark-side. There is nothing good that can come from taking any oath.
In the Epistle of James at 5:12 we find the following: “But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea, be yea, and your nay, nay, lest ye fall into condemnation.” (Geneva Bible)
Christ said that anything more than yea, yea, nay, nay, comes from evil. What he is saying is that the practice of swearing oaths comes from the devil. And then James states that the consequence of swearing oaths is falling into condemnation. There is no good thing that comes from swearing oaths, yet the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant churches are actually founded upon oaths. Most governments and legal systems come under the oath, and we can see exactly why government and religion are so dysfunctional. Nothing but evil comes from them, and even if they do anything good, it is always twisted or perverted to promote evil. One of the best solutions for the world’s problems would be to get rid of the oath. Throw the oath under the bus and the people who promote such nonsense. Everyone should repent from this one and it is one of the easiest things to do; just say no to the oath.
When James said “Above all things” he is making this one instruction a top priority. And the reason is “lest you fall into condemnation.” By swearing oaths, a man condemns himself to eternal death in hell. This is a very serious sin against God, and it must be discarded and thrown away.
What exactly is an oath? The act of swearing an oath is that of a man who binds himself to a bond. But since a man cannot accurately predict the future, he is essentially lying when he takes an oath. Thus, he binds himself to a lie.
We get more information from Numbers 30: 3 “Whosoever voweth a vow unto the Lord, or sweareth an oath to bind himself by a bond, he shall not break his promise, but shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.”
How many of us understood what the taking of an oath really meant? And who would bind his soul to something that comes from a man’s mind?
Does Christ’s teaching on the oath conflict with the teachings of the Old Testament? The question arises in reference to the following scripture verses in Deuteronomy: “Thou shall fear the Lord thy God, and serve Him, and shalt swear by His name.” Deuteronomy 6:13 And again,
in Deuteronomy we see this: “Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: thou shalt serve him, and thou shalt cleave unto him, and shalt swear by His name.” (Deut. 10:20) Is there a contradiction? Was there a change? In my opinion, based upon the words of Christ, swearing was never allowed to be done by any man. It is God’s domain. If it was allowed, then there is the evidence of a change.
“Therefore hear the word of the Lord, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt, Behold, I have sworn by my great Name, saith the Lord, that my Name shall no more be called upon by the mouth of any man of Judah, in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liveth”
(Jeremiah 44:26) I believe it was at this exact point that God specifically forbade the oath, if it was allowed to begin with.
This is supported by the fact that in the later prophetical books of the Old Testament a curse is put upon those who swear oaths.
“I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the Priests, And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops, and them that worship and swear by the Lord, and swear by Milcam.” ( Zephaniah 1:4-5)
And in Zechariah 5:3 we see the following: “Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the whole earth: for everyone that stealeth, shall be cut off, as well on this side, as on that: and everyone that sweareth, shall be cut off, as well on this side, as on that.”
We can clearly see from the above Bible references, that the swearing of an oath is a sin and it puts a man under a curse. And yet, this is tolerated by almost all “Christian” pastors who probably sign their own tax returns and voter registration forms not realizing that they are cursing themselves in the process.
And there are early Christian writings that support these verses.
One is called “The Didache: Teaching of the Lord to the Nations through the Twelve Apostles". And after reading all of it (only six pages) I can only speculate as to why it was excluded from the Bible. Within this writing it states: “You will not make an oath.”
And yet again, in another writing called: “The Acts of Pilate or the Gospel of Nicodemas” we find an amazing exchange between Pontius Pilate and the twelve witnesses regarding the betrothal of Joseph and Mary. Remember, almost all false prophets will challenge the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. In this Gospel of Nicodemas, the validity of Christ's virgin birth was in controversy, and we see the following exchange.:
   "And Pilate, calling these twelve men who said that He was not born of fornication, says to them: I adjure you by the health of Caesar, to tell me whether it be true that you say, that he was not born of fornication. They say to Pilate: We have a law against taking oaths, because it is a sin; but they will swear by the health of Caesar,  that it is not as we have said, and we are liable to death. Pilate says to Annas and Caiaphas: Have you nothing to answer to this? Annas and Caiaphas say to Pilate: These twelve are believed when they say that he was not born of fornication; all the multitude of us cry out that he was born of fornication, and that he is a sorcerer, and he says that he is the Son of God and a king, and we are not believed.” (Acts of Pilate)
And so it is, that the early Christian church knew very well that it is a sin to make an oath. Yet in today’s professing “Christian” church, the doctrine of not taking oaths is not taught correctly; if at all. And it is this sin that produces our bondage, as it is in complete disobedience to the scriptures. In fact, all sin produces the bondage to Satan, but it is the oath that is the primary error that produces so much chaos; because once a man is placed under the yoke of Satan he becomes utterly helpless becoming a slave to the dark-side. The life of a man is destroyed and destined for hell; if he dies in the wealth of his sins.
And hell is a horrible place to spend an eternity. It is so horrid, that I want to include some verses about it from both the Bible and other early Christian writings because it is extremely important to know the eternal consequences of sin; especially the oath.
“And being in hell in torments, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, Then he cried, and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.”
(Luke 16:24)
   Is the taking of an oath worth the eternal punishment? “Wherefore if thine hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched, Where their worm dieth not, and the fire never goeth out.” (Mark 9:43-44) Who needs that? IS the taking of an oath worth becoming plagued with worms; being on fire for an eternity? I don’t think most of us have the knowledge and understanding of the severity of God’s punishment. It gets worse.
   In the Apocalypse of Peter (also included as scripture in the early church then removed) we find the following: “And other men and women were burning up to the middle and were cast into a dark place and were beaten by evil spirits, and their inwards were eaten by restless worms: and these were they who persecuted the righteous and delivered them up.” (Apocalypse of Peter, Verse 25) “And others near them, women and men, burning and turning themselves and roasting; and these were they that leaving the way of God.” (Apocalypse of Peter, Verse 33)
   The Book of Enoch is another writing used by the early Christian church. And the following verse contained within it seems to coincide with the other writings: “And darkness shall be their dwelling, and worms shall be their bed, and they will have no hope of rising from their beds, because they do not extol the name of the Lord of Spirits.” (Enoch 46:6)
   “And from thence I went to another place, which was still more horrible than the former, and I saw a terrible thing: A great fire there which burnt and blazed, and the place cleft as far as the abyss, being full of great magnitude could I see, nor could I conjecture. Then I said: ‘How fearful is the place and how terrible to look upon!’ Then Uriel answered me, one of the holy angels who was with me: ‘Enoch, why hast thou such fear and affright?’ And I answered: ‘Because of this fearful place, and because of the spectacle of the pain.’” (Enoch 21:7-10)
   And finally, we see the following in the Book of Revelation: “And I looked and turned to another part of the earth, and saw there a deep valley with burning fire. And they brought the kings and the mighty, and began to cast them into this deep valley”. (Enoch 54:1-2)
I realize that these verses are painful to read, but at the same time, I believe that these verses should act as a deterrent to committing sin; especially that of making an oath.
   Is the power of government or being attached to it by the oath worth the price of eternal punishment? “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day or night....” (Revelation 14:11 KJV)
   “And the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet shall be tormented even day and night forevermore.”
(Revelation 20:10) Being on the receiving end of the wrath of God does not seem to be worth the price of everlasting punishment in hell: no matter how compelling the taking of an oath may appear. “For what shall it profit a man, though he should win the whole world, if he lose his soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?” (Mark 8:36-37)
   Without a doubt, there is no profit to anyone who takes an oath. It will only produce condemnation, and put a man under God’s curse. So no matter what the political or religious gain that seems to come from disobeying God, there is nothing worse in life than losing one’s soul and going to hell. Many religions like to deny the existence of hell, but the gospels clearly teach that it exists and that it is not a good place to go. Those who ignore this warning from Jesus Christ, do so at their own risk. There is no good thing that can come from a man taking an oath. It is much easier to simply get rid of the stupid thing once and for all. Taking an oath is not only dangerous, but it is downright stupid. We’ve all done it at one time or another, and then we wonder why our government and religious systems are so twisted. We do it to ourselves. Satan doesn’t do it to us, we inflict upon ourselves untold hardship and pain by disobeying God.
   The oath makes our souls a slave to whatever entity to which we swore. As our bodies in the flesh are vessels for the soul, we bind our souls, bodies, and spirits to the oath. We now have gone from God’s natural order, to the chaotic and damnable “new world order” which is Satan’s world of death and hell.
   The swearing of oaths is God’s domain, as he created and held together His creation (the universe) by His oath. And this can be observed in the Book of Enoch, Chapter 69: “And the heaven was suspended before the world was created, and for ever. And through it the earth was founded upon the water, and through that oath the sea was created, and through that oath the sun and the moon complete their course, and through that oath the stars complete their course.”
   It appears that the oath was intended to be under God’s authority. And looking back to
Matthew 5: 33-37; those verses confirm that man cannot make one hair on his head white or black. Man has no control over the natural color of his own hair. (Think about how stupid it is to dye one’s hair one color or another.) Man is not the creator; he is the created. And any act of taking an oath appears to be an attempt by man to usurp the authority of God; or even worse, attempts to be God; which is impossible.
   And many “churches” who feign Christianity, teach that man can be a God, and perhaps the oath is the main instrument of choice of false teachers and Satanists in attempting to invoke the power of God unto themselves. In Enoch, it shows how the fallen angels, bound themselves together by an oath; in an imprecation (curse), to repeal against God. And it is the first example of the dire consequences of making oaths.
   Can a man stretch forth the heavens and the earth? Can a man create the sea? Can a man command the sun and the moon to complete their respective courses? Can a man suspend the earth upon the firmament? This is the reason why Christ said that man cannot make one hair on his own head white or black, let alone do those things I just mentioned.
   The depravity and the evilness of the oath cannot be overstated. And it is a sobering thing to know and understand that swearing an oath puts a man or woman under a curse. And given the ugly and devastating sanctions in hell, it doesn’t make any sense for anyone at any time, to swear an oath for any reason.
   Are there any exceptions? No, none are given: there are no exceptions for any legal process, none for judges, none for lawyers, none for doctors, none for voter registration, none for government workers, none for the military, and none for any other activity.
   If the swearing of an oath is a sin, then it is scripturally clear that a man is under a curse and is destined for hell; if in fact he has sworn any oaths. And we can see by our society today that it is sinking lower into its own degeneration at a very rapid pace. And I believe that it is the use of the oath that is the primary tool Satan uses to destroy our lives, because once a man has put himself under an oath, nothing good can come from his live as he is under a curse.
   He can say he is a Christian, but if he hasn’t repented of his oaths, he cannot keep the rest of God’s commandments as he carries the yoke of sin and evil upon himself. Remember, this is all self-inflicted. God doesn’t do this to us, we do it by choice. We can also chose to repent, amend our ways and stop swearing oaths.
   “What is man’s responsibility to God? “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13) It is our duty as created men and women to fear God and keep His commandments. We fear the Lord in the sense because He is our Creator, and he is going to judge us according to our actions, and the choices that we make. And by knowing that the oath is a sin, it is great understanding that we repent of these oaths and never take one again. Because we should know that the wages of sin is death. The fear of God is what corrects our behavior and leads us to obedience; knowing that the wrath of God will be deployed against us if we continue to sin.
“The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord: all they that observe them, have good understanding: his praise endureth forever.” (Psalms 111:10 GB)
“Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, and delighteth greatly in his commandments.”
(Psalms 112:1GB)
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and knowledge.” (Proverbs 1:7 GB)
“The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom: and before honor goeth humility.”
(Proverbs 15:33 GB)
“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, as pride and arrogancy, and the evil way: and a mouth that speak Eth lewd things I do hate.” (Proverbs 8:13 GB)
“By mercy and truth iniquity shall be forgiven, and by the fear of the Lord they depart from evil.” (Proverbs 16:6 GB)
“What man is he that feareth the Lord? him will he teach the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the land.” (Psalms 25:12-13 GB)
“Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper, and their shield.”
(Psalm 115:11 GB)
It is a great advantage that a man has a fear of the Lord. He will have wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and mercy. He will become strong in avoiding evil, pride, arrogancy, and will be able to put a bridle on his on his tongue. With this fear of the Lord, he will be able to have the strength to avoid the iniquity of the oath.
And this fear of God, will lead him to repentance (never again to make an oath) enabling him to stop committing sins altogether.
The following verses in Ezekiel point out the elements of repentance.
“For when a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness and commiteth iniquity, he shall even die for the same, he shall even die for his iniquity that he hath done. Again, when the wicked turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, and shall not die.”
(Ezekial 18:26-28 GB)
“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, everyone according to his ways, saith the Lord God: return therefore, and cause others to turn away from all your transgressions: so iniquity shall not be your destruction.” (Ezekiel 18:30 GB)
And in Luke 13:3 Jesus Christ (God in the flesh), stated in the following verse: “I tell you, nay: but, except ye amend your lives, ye shall all likewise perish.”
It has been my experience, that a man must pay attention to the true scriptures and to turn away from the oath, and keep himself separated from any process that depends upon it. The solution is quite simple; however, it is the choice of a man between good and evil that will determine his final eternal destiny. There is the spiritual destiny of heaven or hell; then, there is the temporal destiny (or the destiny of the man in the flesh) that will produce a life of peace, joy, and understanding. Or the disobedience that produces chaos, sin, and turmoil which turns our lives upside down in relation to God’s natural order. Again, God’s natural order is to fear Him and to keep His commandments.
The oath is Satan’s power supply to his “new world order.” The oath destroys the life of men as it sets forth an imprecation (curse) upon the man who takes it.
The bad fruit of this imprecation is evil, sin, war, famine, idolatry, murder, lies, theft, maliciousness, jealousy, witchcraft, sorcery, and other bad things that are in disobedience to God’s commandments.
And in most “constitutions” in the various governments of the world, it is the oath that sets the stage for rampant evil. It destroys the faith of God in men, and it produces the rotten characteristics of government.
Millions upon millions of people have been murdered as a result of the evil character of oath-based governments. In my lifetime, I’ve seen many wars started on false premises. The various governments lie and slander each other to the point of outrageous fury and madness.
The “laws” that are attached to such governments appear to be sensible in many cases; however, the practice of the legal process that is oath-based, produces lies, thefts, sin, and a multitude of flagrant contradictions. It produces a dysfunctional process that it completely unstrung; like the sinews of a dead man. It is like attempting to play a violin with broken strings. It breeds the most unseemly degeneration of a man’s moral anchor, interfering with his ability to stay within the limits of God’s natural order; His commandments. The bad fruit always manifests itself upon those who take the oath.
The easy solution is to simply take no more oaths; and to repent of those oaths which we have taken. Because we all know it is wrong to lie under any circumstance; so the oath is completely unnecessary for a Christian. The same applies to statements made “under the penalties of perjury.”
Perjury is lying under oath. I see no difference in lying under oath, or without an oath. A lie is a lie, and by speaking falsely, a man puts himself under condemnation.
Sin is what puts man under bondage; the yoke of Satan. It is this bondage that manifests itself in everything we do. Liberty is being free from the bondage of sin, and living in obedience to God’s word, statutes, and commandments.
I believe that it is the oath that has started all of the evil of mankind. It is the oath that makes it impossible to keep all of God’s commandments all of the time, because the taking of an oath is a sin; in and of itself. It is the oath that triggers evil in the machinations of the world’s governments. It is the oath that renders the legal process utterly useless, because it is not capable of honesty, truth, and justice. How can a cursed process do anything good? It cannot. While there may be a show of justice: the reality is that the whole picture when looked at objectively; is unstrung.
The beast (the world governments and financial institutions) depend upon the oath to control mankind. Remember, the oath is a man’s bondage to sin, making him an asset of hell. And those of us who are caught up in this bondage, have done this out of ignorance and false teachings. Unfortunately, most of us have been led down the wrong path; we arrived at the wrong place.
No man can live successful; living a blessed life, die and go to heaven, with the unrepented sin of making an oath. The oath (and signing documents under the penalties of perjury) casts a man under a curse; and it is this curse that renders a man incapable of being obedient to God’s commandments.
And it is the failure of the feigned “Christian” church that fuels this chronic disobedience. It is a sobering thought to realize just how damaging the making of an oath is to any man; let alone to a Christian.
And this failure may have many causes, and there are a few worth mentioning.
It appears to me that the main reason is that there are those people in the “church” who explain away the clear and precise teaching of Christ not to swear any oaths. “Christian” commentators state this does not mean that a man cannot swear in courtroom proceedings, or other legal matters. However, within the text of the scriptures we can clearly see that there are no exceptions for any legal process. The sad part about this is the fact that those of us who were deceived by their false teaching of exceptions that do not exist, suffer from our own ignorance as we go down the road to hell; never realizing the damage we have done to ourselves. We, who are lead away by false teachings will suffer unspeakable consequences.
In the First Epistle of Clement, to the Corinthian church, he warns them stating: “Look carefully into the scriptures, which are the true utterances of the Holy Spirit. Observe that nothing of an unjust or counterfeit character is written in them.” (1st Clement Chapter 45)
One of the problems of the Corinthian church, is that there were those who were tampering with the true scriptures in order to get them to say something that was never intended by the Holy Spirit. I question everything that I read. I use everything that I believe is truth.
It doesn’t matter to me whether it comes from the Bible, or anywhere else, only the truth is of any service to me. And in reflecting on Clement’s warnings, I keep asking myself as to what motivation would there be for a church which has already gone apostate, produce a clean and accurate set of scriptures. I have no reason to believe that they did actually did that, and I believe that the Bible as we know it has been mangled by the apostates. The true scriptures are still there, it is just more difficult to get to the truth than I had originally thought. A man has to use his own ability to reason out these doctrines, so that he knows exactly what his duties are to God.
But the teachings against the oath had to be a direct threat to the power of the state. The “state” (as a group) wants to usurp the authority of God and place itself in His place. The state is not God; the state is not the Creator, and man was not created by the state. Religion did not create God; God created man and gave him the right to choose for himself who or what he is going to follow. But it is the combination of bad government and bad religion that promulgates the usage of the oath; to it’s own eventual destruction.
The oath is the self-destructive power source of the new world order on two levels:
1. On the temporal level it is the conduit to complete slave status of men to the state or existing government. 2. On the spiritual level, it is the curse (primary ticket to hell) that leads men into bondage of sin and damnation. It is the spiritual connection to the beast, to the “great whore of Bablyon;” and to eternal punishment and torture.
And while Christians should be obedient to governments, it is never allowed in the scriptures to violate any of God’s commandments for any reason. It is God’s law that is the “supreme law of the land”, but never is it any man-made government law. Governments which violate God’s laws will suffer the same destruction as those who continually sin against God with no repentance. Lawful government only exists within the boundaries of God’s law.
A good example of this is when the King of Egypt ordered the midwives to kill all of the sons of the Hebrew women, and just let the daughters live. And in Exodus 1:17 we see the following: “But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.” Given that the oath is a sin (a sin of idolatry) there is no reason for anyone to feel compelled to take an oath, because no one is compelled to disobey God's law. There may be some inconvenient consequences to this resistance; but not enough to justify putting oneself under a curse.
So much then for defendant the problem; now for the solution. The solution is this; fear God and keep His commandments.
Who is God? “Thus saith God the Lord(he that created the heavens and spread them abroad: he that stretched for the earth, and the buds thereof: he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein).
Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, and remember, He is the one who said not to swear any oaths. Here’s some evidence that show He is God in the flesh:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1)
“In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.” (John 1:1 GB)
“And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw the glory thereof, as the glory of the only begotten Son of the Father) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
There is no question that Jesus Christ is God, and those who oppose this critical teaching are terribly misinformed and are completely idiotic in their reasoning. No one with half a brain, could possibly say that the scripture say something other that Christ is God in the flesh. Christ, being God, specifically said not to swear oaths, so it only makes sense to stop doing it. In my opinion, there always is a hope of repentance, the hope of establishing more self-control, and the hope of defeating sin. We choose sin; and when we do it, we created the chains to our own bondage. Disobeying God’s commandments is not freedom, it is self-inflicted bondage of the lowest order.
The oath will inflict a spiritual and temporal nightmare upon a man that is detestable. It puts a man on the dark-side; it puts the government on the dark-side. And because the oath exists outside of God’s natural order, the oath is the power source of the “new world order” which is altogether senseless.

It has been said by many, that the United States was a nation based upon “Christian principles.” And that somehow the United States lost its moral and spiritual anchor, and is now irreparably corrupted. However, the distinction should be made that there is a difference between the Government of the United States and the men, women, and children living on the land. They are two separate things, and it is the government, or what is being passed off as one, who has decided to usurp God’s law, rather than abide in His commandments.
But the fact is that the United States Constitution at Article VI proves by its own text that it is impossible that true scriptural Christians had anything to do with establishing the United States government as we know it today. The reason is it has an oath: “...The Senators and representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislators, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation to support this constitution....”
Here we see an example of the use of the oath for all government officials. I believe that the use of these oaths is the catalyst that sets into motion the moral corruption that we have seen in our government in the past and now see in the present. It doesn’t matter what the particular issue is; because it is the oath that brings on the lying, stealing, and devastating wars that get millions of people killed; all in the name of freedom, which is in reality, Satanic bondage.
Are there any Christians in government? The answer is obvious to me; it would be a resounding no. They are what they do; if they take an oath, then they are not Christians. There is always the opportunity for repentance for anyone; but once the repentance and belief in Jesus Christ takes place, then it would be spiritually impossible to work for the government and be a true Christian at the same time. A man cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and the cup of the devil at the same time.
I remember somewhere around 1980 I had begun to read the Bible and believe in Jesus Christ. But I was also a registered voter. Registered voters have to swear an oath in order to participate in the elections. What that means is that I was under the curse of the oath. And twenty-two years later, I ran for Congress (one of my most shameful acts) and yet again, I was under the curse of the oath, as every candidate must swear an oath before running for office. Therefore, it is impossible to stay in God’s favor and run for political office if an oath is involved. It seems to me that the best way for this country to get back on track is to eliminate the oath, and put government back under the authority of God’s commandments.
I hadn’t grasped the gravity of taking an oath until October of 2005 when I found the Zephaniah and Zechariah verses mentioned earlier in this article.
Whether I knew it or not; the fact is that I committed an offense against God and I put myself under a curse. I have subsequently repented and will not take any more oaths for any reason; I don’t want to offend God any more. If I love God, then I must keep His commandments. Anything else is just “happy” talk with no action.
In addition to the governments of the world swearing oaths of allegiance the two main
professing Christian churches engage in the same nonsense. This will also help to explain the almost complete corruption most of us can observe in these two organizations. The oath is an integral part of the feudal system that is still in place to this day. The government and the false religions of the world use the oath. The oath puts them on the dark-side and the evidence of it can be observed every day; we just have to recognize it for what it is and then deal with it.
   Now it makes more sense why most politicians and religious leaders act like jerks. They act that way because that is who they are; people with a complete disrespect for God and his commandments. And it begins and ends with the oath. If the oath was removed from the Constitution, the document might actually work for the benefit of mankind; but with the oath, it is worthless and it renders the Constitution weak and ineffective in getting good results for mankind. Again, the reason is because the documents that use the oath are on the dark-side, and nothing works correctly on the dark-side unless the goal intended is evil.
The governments and religions of the world are evil on purpose. And while most of us have been deceived by all of it, the truth is that the problem of discerning between good and evil can be a daunting experience, especially, when the scriptures have been corrupted. So one is left with his ability to reason what is actually true or not true, but the problem is that the men of today do have have the ability nor the desire to use their ability to reason. It is much easier for them to watch TV, surf the net, or play video games; effectively desensitizing themselves from all of the various moral choices a man has to make throughout a day. By dumbing down his own mind, mankind renders himself to be as useless as the material he is using. He can no longer think for himself, but allows others to make important life decisions that he should be making himself.
The oath is one of the easiest things not to do. It is much easier to refuse to take them. A government which suggests the swearing of oaths, is a government that is a very bad religious organization. There isn’t any benefit for a man to swear oaths; all bad things flow from the oath. A very dumb government will think it is smarter than Jesus Christ.

Baby Killer's Nightmare

2010-02-24T21:57:00.000-08:00

"Thou shalt not murder a child by

abortion, nor again shalt thou kill it when

it is born."

Epistle of Barnabus 19:5

"You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is born. "

The Didache

I'm sure Planned Parenthood doesn't want to see these two verses, but the objective of groups like them is

to destroy life.  They work 24/7 to desensitize people into committing murder on their own children.   It doesn't get any more perverted than that.

I just looked up "pederasty" and it is defined as follows:  "sexual relations between two males, esp. when one of them is a minor."  There's no way to justify homosexual sexual activity and here it is

specifically forbidden.  I'll deal with these issues later.

Our dumb government thinks that it has to establish its authority and usurp the power of God by

allowing the murder of its children; how pathetic this nation has become.  Somehow, murder of a child is a woman's right to choose?  Partial birth abortion is something that would come out of

Nazi Germany, and there is no good reason for it.  It is still murder.

Incidently, these two writings: The Epistle of Barnabus and the Didache were removed from use in the early Christian church.  These two books are excellent reading and they are very instructive in exhorting people to keep God's commandments.

I can only speculate as to why these books were removed.  Those who advocate abortion are pathetic wretches who will suffer God's wrath if they continue to murder the innocent.  It's time to repent from this behavior; to amend our lives, and let the children live.

The Scourge of Usury

2010-02-24T10:37:00.000-08:00

In my studies of the early Christian writings, I was reading the Apocalypse of Peter which appears to have been written by the Apostle Peter mentioned in the Gospels. Upon reading the verses relating to the visions of heaven and hell, I found this startling verse:
“And into another place near by, saturated with filth, they throw men and women up to their knees. These are they who lent money and took usury.” (Ethiopian Text)
“And in another great lake, full of discharge and blood and boiling mire, stood men and women up to their knees. These were those who lent money and demanded compound interest.
(Akhim Text)
I have studied the Bible for over twenty years, and I never regarded the making of loans with interest as a sin. But when I read this Apoclypse I was stunned.
In many reference books about Biblical literature, this Apocalypse was referred to as “Holy Scripture” in the early Christian church. One article said that certain people did not want this book read in the Church. Maybe those people were bankers; I don’t know. But given the power bankers have because of interest, it is very possible that the financiers of that time could not tolerate the Apocalypse of Peter to be read, otherwise, they would lose their stranglehold on the economy. The book “New Testament Apocrypha” Vol 2 we see the following statement: “...the Apocalypse of Peter was later evidently suppressed almost everywhere so far as the Church was concerned.” The reason is obvious.
I decided to do a study on usury to see if I had overlooked something, and this is what I found:
“If thou lend money to my people, that is, to the poor with thee, thou shalt not be as an usurer unto him: ye shall not oppress him with usury.” (Exodus 22:25 GB)
I just noticed how the King James Version watered down this verse: “If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.” (Exodus 22:25 KJV) There is a big difference in the use of the words oppress and lay upon because the word oppress is more specific in its description of the effects of usury. Now we can begin to see that perhaps the reason for so much misery is the fact that we have been allowing corrupted scriptures to rule our lives rather than using the truth. The lawful authority is always the truth, not what some other man thinks nor his opinion.
“Moreover, if thy brother be impoverished, and fallen in decay with thee, thou shalt relieve him, and as a stranger and sojourner, so shall he live with thee. Thou shalt take no usury of him, nor vantage, but thou shalt fear thy God, that thy brother my live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money to usury, nor lend him thy vittles for increase.” (Leviticus 25:35-37 GB)
“Thou shalt not give to usury to thy brother: as usury of money, usury of meat, usury of anything that is put to usury.” (Deut. 23:19 GB)
There appears to be a conflict in teaching between the following verse in Deut 23:20 and Leviticus 25:35-37. And the wisdom of deciding which is true scripture and which is not lies within the contradiction. There isn’t any sense in attempting to harmonize the contradictions, but to simply point them out and use the weight of the evidence to arrive at a truthful conclusion.
“Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury, but thou shalt not lend upon usury unto thy brother: as usury of money, usury of meat, usury of anything that is put to usury.” (Deut. 20:20 GB) It is my opinion that this one verse is a false pericope because it doesn’t fit in with the rest of the scriptures. In light of this contradiction, one must state the obvious, that the charging of usury was forbidden by God. And we’ll see more evidence to support this as we continue.
Therefore, we must look at other verses to get a more complete picture.
“And now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, and our sons as their sons: and lo, we bring into subjection our sons and our daughters, as servants, and there be of our daughters now in subjection, and there is no power in our hands: for other men have our lands and our vineyards.” (Nehemiah 5:5 GB) Are we all not subject to the bankers of today? We are like the cattle grazing in the pasture getting fattened up for the slaughter. The source of our slavery is the sins we all have committed and we refuse to correct ourselves. We keep doing the same stupid things over and over again, because the feel good, because we are entertained, because we deserve it; we deserve it alright, but not in the way most people think. God’s laws were put in place just as gravity is a natural part of our environment. What chaos we would have if God took out the laws of gravity, yet “we the people” think we’re so smart that some even think that they are God. How arrogant and absurd is that? Usury is sin. Let’s continue in Nehemiah 5:6-7 :
“Then I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. And I thought in my mind, and I rebuked the princes, and the rulers, and said unto them. You lay burdens every one upon his brethren and I set a great assembly against them.”
Moving over to Psalms 15:4-5 we see this:
“In whose eyes a vile person is contemned, but he honoreth them that fear the Lord: he that sweareth to his own hindrance and changeth not. He that giveth not his money unto usury, no taketh reward against the innocent: he that doeth these things shall never be moved.”
Now we will come upon Proverbs 28:8 and find out why usury is a sin.
"He that increaseth his riches by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance.” So there it is, if usury is considered unjust gain; then it would come under the commandment, “Thou shalt not steal.” Thus, the whole financial system of the world is built upon usury, it is Satanic, and does not serve God in anyway. The financial system as it exists today defies the natural law of economics and there is nothing good that can come from it except its eventual and complete failure.
Jeremiah the prophet stated: “...I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent unto me on usury: yet everyone doth curse me.” Jeremiah 15:10
And the conclusion of the matter appears in Ezekiel Chapter 18:4-5: “Behold, all souls are mine, both the soul of the father, and also the soul of the son are mine: the soul that sinneth shall die. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbor’s wife, neither hat lain with a menstruous woman, Neither hath oppressed any, but hat restored the pledge to his debtor: he that hath spoiled none by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment. And hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, but hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, and hath executed true judgment between man and man,....” Moving on, we see in Ezekiel 18:13: “Or hath given forth upon usury, or hath taken increase, shall he live? he shall not live: seeing he hath done all these abominations, he shall die the death, and his blood shall be upon him.” Simply stated, usury is in the same class of sin as idolatry, fornication, violence, and many other sins. A just man feeds and helps the poor. But our whole economic existence depends upon usury which will eventually collapse itself into an extreme imbroglio.
The act of engaging in usury is an abomination in the eyes of God. It is so hard to grasp the implications of this, and how evil we all have been engaging in usury when the true scriptures say that it is an abomination. The way to become a just man is to stop committing sins, and usury is one of them. No one will escape the bad fruit of usury.
Here’s the solution.
“But if the wicked will return from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep ally my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, and shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him, but in his righteousness that he hath done, he shall live.” (Ezekiel 18:21-22 GB)
Continuing in verses 27 and 28 of the same chapter: “Again, when the wicked turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, and shall not die.”
And now in verse 30 we are told what to do. “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, everyone according to his ways, saith the Lord God: return therefore, and cause others to turn away from all your transgressions: so iniquity shall not be your destruction.”
Now let’s go to verses 31 and 32: “Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: cause therefore one another to return, and live ye.”
I tremble when I think about all of the loans I took out in my lifetime; and now just finding out just how perverse the financial systems of the nations of the world are under the current system of banking.
In looking back now, I realized that every time I took out a loan; I sinned against God.
I sinned by swearing an oath, or signing for the loan under the penalty of perjury, and engaging in usury. Though I was ignorant, the fact is that I still violated God’s commandments. I sinned when I used credit cards without paying off the balance. I sinned when I got my home mortgages. I sinned when I used my business credit line. I sinned if I earned one penny of interest or compound interest on my savings or checking accounts. I sinned when I paid interest on any late payments.
It is a real “jaw-dropper” to realize that something which we do in our everyday lives (feeling completely normal) is in fact a transgression against the commandments, against the God who created us. And it is a stunner to realize that the commandment against usury has been in the scriptures for over 3000 years. It is no wonder the Apocalypse of Peter was removed from the Church as it was probably in complete apostasy at the time of its removal.
And it is the sin of usury that should be avoided no matter what the temporal consequences should be. By engaging in usuary, man enslaves himself to endless debt, and by that debt he is subject to the entity that lent it to him in the first place.
So it is the grace of repentance that is the only solution for our problems. In the first place, the most reasonable thing to do is to ask for God’s forgiveness for the engagement of ourselves in usury. Then simply repent, amend our lives, never to lend or borrow again using usury or compound interest.
What about existing loans? The only thing I can think of is to pay off te principal, or make mayments on the principle; but never again pay any more interest. The solution is easy enough, but it will be challenging to say the least. if enough people decided toobey God’s commandment, there would be a major financial shift.
While financial systems would choke and gag, the end result would be a more productive and peaceful economy, and a major reduction of war throughout the world.
Instead of paying out massive amounts of monies to interest charges, the people could (and would) purchase more goods and services and live a more enjoyable life because they are now on the side of God’s natural order; interest is the “new world order” which isn’t really new,
it is Satan’s way of attempting to usurp the authority of God Himself; and that is completely stupid and insane.
Usury (interest and compound interest) is one of the major yokes of slavery used by the banking system. It is the scourge of the world economy.
How could such an important teaching and commandment be lost and completely ignored by the existing “Christian” church?
I believe that perhaps what is currently in the Bible was filtered to suit the needs of the existing Roman Empire which existed at the time of Christ, and immediately thereafter.
Perhaps the battle raged in the Corinthian church as Clement of Rome warned not to allow anything of an “unjust or counterfeit character” to be a part of the scriptures. (1st Epistle of Clement) And perhaps the removal of the Apocalypse of Peter is an example of removing some important teachings, as this book doesn’t change or modify any doctrines, but it does show the gravity and severity of the choices made by man; to either follow God, or do the work of Satan.
Tampering with the scriptures was a major issue with Clement of Rome, as he recognized the extreme damage that had been done in the early church. Early Christians did not have the Bible as we know it, but nevertheless, they did have at some point of their existance, a most successful church. And it appears by Clement’s first letter to the Corinthian church, that all it took was a few false teachers to destroy and overthrow a perfectly good assembly.
In order to protect the interests of the state, it would only follow that the Apocalypse of Peter would have to be removed. However, I have no idea what the early Corinthian church used as scripture. But whether the Apocalypse of Peter was removed during its existence, or whether it was done at a latter time is not important. What is important is that a very significant Christian writing was removed from use within the Church; most likely to protect the moneychangers.
And while Constantine was the first “Christian” Roman Emperor, only those churches approved by the state were allowed to operate. In fact, Constantine behaved in a very unseemly way in that he conquered other nations in the name of Christ. Christ never taught man to conquer another, but rather to love your neighbor as yourself, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.
Banking as we know it could not exist without usury. And it certainly could not exercise such extraordinary power over the nations if there was not usury. Few wars would be started, because any sensible government would not want to spend their hard earned resources on the military. And it is the banking interests that facilitate the starting of wars; then funding the rebuilding and reconstruction of the conquered.
If any man had read the Apocalypse of Peter, how willing would he be to participate in usuary? After reading the Apocalypse of Peter passage, there is no way I’ll every participate in usury again. The consequence of the downside is unspeakable. Thus the Apocalypse of Peter would be a very strong deterrent for anyone to get involved in usury.
Accordingly, this teaching would certainly change the way we all live (those of us who are called Christians) completely upside down and inside out from the way we are used to living.
The change would be for the better. The destruction of usury would profit mankind in ways that we can’t even imagine. We were not created by God to be subject to usury.
Many will ask: How will we buy our houses, our cars, and other things we need without loans? The answer is simply this: pay for the things you wish to buy, and forget about the loans. How much is your soul worth? The market will always adjust to what the people can afford, and it would work just fine. The natural laws of economics will always work the same way for everyone.
In my opinion, the Apocalypse of Peter is doctrinally consistent, written by an Apostle of Jesus Christ, and it has the power to change a man’s thinking to be in line with God’s commandments. This writing was generally accepted as scripture but removed for obvious reasons.
In order for us to keep God’s commandments, I think it is extremely important to know what they are, and then comply with them. I think that things would get so much better for us, and we wouldn’t always be bound by the insane and stupid banking system, which is in fact our own government.
According to this writing, there is a special place in hell for those who engage in charging interest. And that the charging of interest is "unjust" gain; stealing. What we think about interest and what the reality of it is two separate things. Where were all of the religious teachers to warn about using interest? They were asleep at the wheel. If the politicians really wanted to fix the economy, then they would stop the use of usury. To adjust the economy to stay in line with God's law is the only way to make it work properly.
Getting rid of the oath and usury would be a powerful correction and nothing but good things would come from it.

God Did Not Make Evil

2010-02-20T09:19:00.000-08:00

"For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:
(For righteousness is immortal:)
But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it."
Wisdom of Solomon 1:13-15

   In the teachings of the professing churches, one of the doctrines that is taught is that it is impossible for a man to keep God's commandments, and that man is inherently evil. And that there is no good thing that comes out of a man. And that it is impossible for a man to keep God's commandments. And that man is just a dirty rotten sinner, doomed to be continually making the same mistakes over and over again. Of course, these kinds of things will occur when men disobey God's commandments. Government becomes bad when it violates God's laws. There is no government on earth that has a license to violate God's laws; no man, nor group of men, have the authority from anyone to violate God's laws. It is God's laws that provide security for a man; not government. Very dumb government ignores the rules that God's set forth for man, and it even makes the outlandish claim that it is "the supreme law of the land." No, it is not. It is God's laws that are the supreme law of the land, and they must be obeyed in order to have a full and happy life.
   Men and woman are continually confronted with the choice to either be good or evil, to choose between
light and darkness, and between right and wrong. When a man chooses to obey God's commandments, he is living within God's natural order. He doesn't have to continually look over his shoulder, or hide from his own
conscience. But if he does evil, he fights with his conscience and then brings upon himself all of the evil
consequences of sin.
   So when evil hits our lives, don't blame God for it, we brought it all upon ourselves by not obeying God's
commandments. If you are despondent about the behavior of our government in recent times, all you have to remember is that we are getting the government we deserve. Our very dumb government is the manifestation of our own rotten behavior and our unwillingness to repent and keep His commandments. Without repentance, there is nothing good to look forward to, only the eventual death and destruction that comes from
disobeying God's commandments. It doesn't matter if a man is the highest political leader or the poorest man
on earth, if he won't keep God's commandments, he has chosen his own failure. God didn't do it to him,
he did it to himself. Those in government who think they are getting away with violating God's law are sorely mistaken. The bad fruit from the rotten tree will eventually take its toll on those who continually violate
God's laws.
   God's laws are the old world order; Satan's laws are the "new world order." The new world order is nothing really new, it is just a chaotic system of disobedience to God's laws which will result in the destruction of mankind. The purpose of the new world order is to insult God and destroy mankind as God had created him. It puts in place a system that is deliberately destructive.
   God's laws are the natural order instituted by Him for all of us to live within. Satan's laws violate God's laws and are in complete conflict with God's natural order of life. Therefore it makes a lot of sense to establish God's laws in our lives and we all should be focusing all of our attention to that end. There is no benefit to the continual study of evil, but there is a lot of good things that come from keeping God's commandments. When I pay attention to them, life gets better for me; and when I don't, I become a miserable wretch with no future.
   Most governments of the world are very dumb, extremely stupid, and produce death and hell. They were designed that way, and they are working perfectly. To my knowledge, we can't stop people from being stupid, but we can control our own behavior to reflect the will of God our Creator. This is the key to successful living. God made us all to live in truth and peace, and keeping His commandments will get that
accomplished. Very dumb government and very dumb religion are those things which violate God's laws.
We should be judging all things against God's natural law; nothing else works. Bad government is bad religion; bad religion is bad government. They have not, nor will they ever be separated; they are one in the same. Good religion and good government depend upon our existence within His natural order. All of us should spend most of our time correcting our own poor behavior, and learn how to keep the commandments
of God.
   God didn't make the evil, we chose it for ourselves.

Stop Swearing Oaths

2010-02-18T20:42:00.000-08:00

[I am posting this article again as I believe it is the main source of political and religious problems (WAT)]

January, Two Thousand and Three

Many of us have never understood the implications of swearing an oath.
Most of us at one time or another have sworn oaths, and most of us don't really understand
the implications of such an action. In many instances, government forms and ones from other entities shove papers in front of us to be attested to by a sworn statement.

I had recently read an article that essentially stated that all of us enter the jurisdiction
of the government entity when we swear an oath. I was a bit startled and taken by
surprise by the idea of someone inadvertently stepping into their jurisdiction by
the taking of an oath.

I went through some of the Old Testament and compared it to the New Testament
and I observed the following:

Leviticus: 19:12

And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

It appears here that if one were to swear falsely, that it would be a major offense against
God. Do you really know for sure if your IRS form was filled out correctly? I know
that those who file don't have a clue whether the form is accurate, yet they readily sign the
return because they think it is their duty to do so. Many people now who do file in spite
of the ever increasing knowledge about the fraud of the income tax, continue to swear
falsely, whether they know it or not, that the form is correct under the penalty of
perjury. But wait, if one doesn't owe the tax, why would anyone put any numbers in
the boxes at all? It isn't just about the income tax. There are many other issues one
can swear to, and by doing so may put a man in the position of swearing an oath to something that is false. By doing so, one profanes the name of God. Most of us have sworn
these oaths by mistake. And we can correct our actions by admitting our errors and
by not doing them anymore.

Numbers:

30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind
his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do
according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
How many of us have understood that swearing an oath on an IRS form would bind our souls to a bond? Now we are obligated by this bond to perform accordingly. The "person" must function according to the bond, regardless of whether a mistake has been made. Of course, I understand that we've been deceived, however the problem is still there. This puts an undue burden upon the man or woman. I don’t like the idea of binding my soul by swearing an oath to anyone or anything. Therefore, I will not do it any longer.
New Testament
Matthew 5:33-37
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

The Messiah knew the implications and the dangers of swearing oaths and the obligations they set upon mankind.

34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

Here is the remedy. Just don't do it. "Swear not at all." Why can't the "Christian" community get this. Pastors in most "churches" stand by and watch their people file income tax returns when they know or should know that the act of giving an oath is against the message of the Messiah. Pastors don't want to rock the boat because they themselves have signed on to the beast by making themselves non-profit corporations which really isn’t necessary for any church in the first place.

35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

James 5:12

5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

Let's look for a moment at the statement at the IRS 1040 in the "Sign Here" section.

IRS Form 1040:

Under the penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this return, and accompanying
schedules and statements, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete. Declaration of preparer (other than taxpayer) is based on all information of which preparer has any knowledge.

1. "Under the penalties of perjury,": This becomes a sworn document when it is signed.
If a person makes one mistake on the form, he can be criminally prosecuted and would
have to prove that he didn't lie. Most people are confused and don't know that
this tax does not apply to them. If they fill it out, they are not telling the truth. So
if a man/woman fills out this return and fully complies with the IRS's agenda,
they are lying on the record. Assuming the tax code applied to all of us, to swear
an oath that the forms and schedules are correct, even to the best of one's knowledge,
puts a person in an extremely compromising position because "ignorance of the law is
no excuse." One is also put into a position of testifying against himself and issuing a
sworn document that could possibly incriminate himself in the future. Signing an
IRS form under the penalties of perjury violates the most basic rights of a free man.
And on top of all that, one is binding his soul to it.

2. "I declare that have examined this return....." Did you? Really? When you filed the
return, do you really know what you were doing? Did you know all the ins and outs
of over 9000+ pages of tax code? Do you really know if you are subject to the tax code?
Do you know if you are a U.S. citizen? Do you really understand the territorial jurisdiction of the US Code? Did you really have "gross income"? Did you really know if you had taxable income? Did you know for sure if you are an "employee" or an "employee"? If you get 100 CPAS together in one room, with the same information on an example of a taxpayer, no one will come up with the same answer, yet people readily sign these returns under oath when they have no clue as to what most of they mean. Most of have used "professionals" relying upon them to know whether or not these returns are "true and correct". Then we bind our souls to this nonsense by signing the 1040.

3. "...they are true, correct, and complete": How would you know? The fact is that there
are very few, if any people who could lawfully swear to that statement. If you swear
that the return is true, when you aren't sure if you owed the tax, you become a liar.
Are you going to swear that the returns are correct? How would you know that?
What if you're wrong? How are you going to prove that you aren't a liar?

Are they complete? Is the so-called "tax professional" competent? You really don't know that either, since most of us aren't aware that these codes don't apply to us in the first place. What if you forget a form or a schedule? How are you going to prove that you didn't lie?

Do you really want to put your signature, which is coming from your mind and soul
onto a document that has a high probability of falsehood and error? If you're a
Christian, do you want to disobey the clear statement of the Messiah? If you're not
a Christian, do you want to bind your soul to a bond based upon a fraud? If you are
an atheist, why would you swear an oath to a god that you don't believe in? However, this is a choice than one has to make in the face of a lot of adversity from "government" circles. We are continually pressured to give up our signatures on papers that we don't really understand.

Before you give up your signature or swear any oaths, consider what it is that you are
doing. A man cannot be compelled to do an act which he thinks is an act against the wishes
of God.

How Did We Become Such Idiots?

2010-02-18T20:29:00.000-08:00

How did we come to be such idiots?

The following essay has an interesting story. The author, a federal prisoner, wrote a very intelligent and insightful letter to us late last February. In it he used the term "idiot" in a very interesting way. In my response, I challenged him to develop the term into something interesting, descriptive and inclusive in such a way as to be informative and useful. What he came up with is not exactly what I had in mind. It’s better. (DWH)

[This article was published in the Idaho-Observer in May of 2009 while I was still in prison. And while Don Harkins edited the piece, he gave me full credit for it. What was interesting about this article is that he published it even though there were some things he initially disagreed with, but published them according to the way I had written the piece. Unfortunately, Don passed away suddenly in September, 2009 after sustaining a very strange leukemia illness. Don was a good man and an outstanding reporter who will be missed by his family, friends, and his readers. I highly recommend the Idaho Observer. (WAT)

By Walter Allen Thompson"Why does he act like such an idiot?"
How many times do we ask that question about other people—even about ourselves? There is no shortage of idiots and they are the primary reason it is so difficult (if not impossible) to live on Earth in peace and truth.
Idiot: 1. A person afflicted with idiocy (extreme deficiency of intelligence, commonly due to incomplete or abnormal development of the brain). Idiots are incapable of learning connected speech or of avoiding common dangers in life. 2. A fool; simpleton—a term of reproach (Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary [1947]).Today the term "idiot" is most commonly used as a "term of reproach" while historic idiots are now described as "retarded" or "mentally handicapped." We will be using "idiot" and "idiocy" in the reproachful contexts in common usage today.
Foolishness, stupidity and ignorance are the product of influences that relentlessly attack our sensibilities, faith and equanimity every day of our lives. They attack the well-being of all men. Idiocy induces war and an enormous amount of suffering upon mankind.

The first idiot

Who was the first idiot? As a Christian, I will say that it was Satan. Here is a being who was in heaven, but swore oaths with other angels and sinned against his Creator—eternally damning himself because he wanted to usurp the authority of God (Read Book of Enoch). And when God created man in His own image, Satan was intent on destroying the lives of every man, woman and child.
The choice between good and evil—free will—has always been a part of God’s creation. God did not create evil, but the tendency for Satan and mankind to choose evil has always been present.
Satan became an idiot when he disobeyed God, incurring His wrath. Since misery loves company, Satan spreads the misery by influencing mankind to disobey God’s natural order of life. The "new world order" was started with the first sin and it has continued to this present day.The march of the idiotsThe new world order is the plan of the idiots who are responsible for the death and destruction of the millions (if not billions) of lives memorialized in written history. The reason is because the new world order exists completely outside of God’s natural order. Think of it as God’s natural order completely inverted or reversed: Good became evil and evil became good; darkness is light and light is darkness. In God’s order the strong and the wise came before weak idiots. In the new world order we can plainly see that idiots come before the wise because idiots love death while the wise man loves life.
The worship of images, or "idols," is called "idolatry." The purpose of idolatry, the worship of powerless objects, is to destroy mankind by influencing man to disobey God’s natural order of life, thereby acting like an idiot.
Recently, the monetary and banking systems have been involved in numerous crises and bailouts. When money was made of gold and silver it was strong. But paper debt notes are weak, producing the boom and bust cycles that we have today. Any monetary system that trades debt notes in exchange for goods and services is doomed to eventual failure. Why? The people who designed and are currently running the money system are idiots. In addition, the financial institutions are patronized and regulated by idiots.Idiot worshipMost people know the histories of Hitler, Stalin, Mao-Tse- Tung and Pol Pot who destroyed the lives of millions. These leaders were idiots. Worse yet is how other idiots look upon the works of these men with favor. This kind of idiocy—murderous leaders and the people who support them—is apparent in our own political system. The same kind of idiots are in control of the United States. Through idiots in the mass media, the idiots in leadership animate the rank-and-file idiots to do their bidding. The idiots-in-charge derive their relative strength in proportion to the numbers of rank-and-file idiots willing to support—even fight and die—for their idiotic causes.
The idiots’ strength is the force of arms under war powers; it is easier to kill or imprison anyone who questions the motives of the idiots-in-charge. And the idiot’s message is this: "Let our strength be the law of justice."Idiots have no license
From where do the idiots-in-charge derive their authority? They are not ordained by God because God is not an idiot. They are not ordained of God (as in Romans, Chapter 13) because they break God’s commandments. The idiots have no license to sin or do evil; no one has the authority to usurp God’s law; any claim that idiots proceed with lawful authority is an utter farce: "For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. For he created all things, that they may have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth."
God did not make us in His image to be idiots. I used to think that all men were born evil; they are not. The evil we do is chosen. If we were born evil, then God’s commandments would serve no purpose because it would be impossible to keep them. It is not only possible for a man to keep God’s commandments, but also He expects us to keep them. And this is exactly how we can abide in His natural order.
The idiot will say just the opposite. "But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them..."
The idiot brings evil upon himself because he has contracted with evil to do evil; he acts like an idiot because he is an idiot.How do we stop being idiots?While sitting in a prison for the last four years, I realized that I have to stop doing what all the other idiots do. I discovered that my isolation from the outside world was becoming an asset to me because I have had more time to think things through. But all of my actions are my responsibility and there is no excuse for me before God if I do wrong.
I can’t just stop being an idiot without knowing how to guard myself from acting like one. My mind is something that I consciously set out to guard so that I do not lapse back into idiocy. My first line of defense is the eyes. I do not use them to offend God in any way. I don’t look at or read things that will cause my mind to become unsettled. I avoid all forms of material that is offensive to God’s natural order.
I use the same principle with my ears. I try not to hear anything offensive as it will disturb the strength of my inner peace. By consciously guarding my eyes and ears, I can effectively guard my mind and soul. As a result, I’m finding that I can enjoy long periods of time in silence without getting bored.
The key to overcoming idiocy is goodness and virtue. We should be mindful about how we speak about and treat others. By exercising self-control, we can break the idiotic habits of saying and doing things that harm our fellow man. I actually feel good when I get the urge to say something idiotic and then hold my tongue. I’ll admit sometimes it is difficult but I feel good when I can suppress my evil inclination.
What are our obligations to God? Solomon says it in one sentence: "Let us hear the end of all: fear God and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man (Eccl. 12: 13-14, Geneva Bible).
The fear of God puts a man’s soul at rest because the man knows his duties to God and he practices them. There is no fear of hell because his obedience to God’s commandments is the source of his confidence, hope, faith and the love for his Creator. On its surface, the fear of God putting a man’s soul at rest seems to be a paradox. I think of it this way: The fear of God is as healthy as not putting my hand into a flame. God will punish evil doers, so why be one?
I don’t fear Satan; I fear God. God makes the judgment; I want to have His favor all of the time. I exercise my own self-control so as to not act like an idiot.Idiocy’s opposite
The opposite of idiocy is wisdom and with wisdom comes understanding.
"The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord: all they that observe them, have good understanding: His praise endureth forever" (Psalms 111:10).
Here are some of the aspects of wisdom that I am paraphrasing from the wisdom of Solomon:
Wisdom is glorious, does not fade, and seen of those who love her.
Wisdom is a treasure found by those who seek her.
Wisdom is the breath of the power of God; the worker of all things.
Wisdom moves more than motion; it is the pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty.
Wisdom is the unspotted mirror of God; the image of His goodness.
Wisdom is the brightness of his everlasting light; the knowledge of God, the fear of God and the understanding of God.
Wisdom is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God; is patient, and conversant with God.The choice is ours.In light of the aformentioned, we can see that an idiot has no value to God if he dies an idiot. To be an idiot greatly offends God. Man was created in the image of God so when he acts like an idiot he, in a sense, defiles the "copy" of God and is, therefore, a degraded version of the original. The only true happiness in life is having the favor of God; nothing else is better. But there are those choices God allows us to make between life and death, good and evil and heaven and hell; between idiocy and wisdom.
Most governments have failed because they were run by idiots with no regard for God’s commandments.
Religions of the world with doctrines other than that which God has promulgated are not valid and will suffer the same fate as failed governments and for the same reasons.
Our problems today arise from people calling upon idols or false gods for answers. We turn to our enemies as if they are our friends. We look to idiots as if they are wise. We treat idiots with honor and treat the wise with contempt. We turn to darkness and live as if it were light. We call upon ruthless idiots to do good when we should know they are incapable of it. The idiots have the authority on earth because we, the idiots, gave it to them.Are there any good people in government?
I take the position that, if they take an oath of office (forbidden in the scriptures), then no, they cannot do good even if they wanted to; the structure of government is idiocy with evil as its foundation.
Oh sure, there are some seemingly good things about government but they are always twisted and perverted to do the work of evil because it was designed that way and is working perfectly. The real purpose of most governments is to promote and grow idiocy by enlisting legions of idiot evildoers to steal from the people.Only one way out of idiocy
The only remedy for idiocy is to mend our ways and do good by being good and by providing others with the example of our goodness through the plain testimony of our actions. We are witnessing the last death-throws of this global idiocracy. We should step aside and stand aloof from it all, keeping ourselves within God’s natural order while adding virtues to our lives and exercising more self-control. If we guide our hearts and minds to maintain God’s natural order in our spheres of influence, then we will realize true peace. And pray for God to give the idiots a place for repentance. This is the true power of God.If it weren’t for idiots...I will now close with an example of how things work when they are under the authority of God. The following was written about 100 AD by Bishop Clement of Rome in his Epistle to the Corinthians:
"The heavens, revolving under His government, are subject to Him in peace. Day and night run the course appointed by Him, in no way hindering each other. The sun and moon, with the companies of stars, roll on in harmony according to His command, within their prescribed limits, without any deviation. The fruitful earth, according to His will, brings forth food in abundance. At the proper seasons, for man and beast and all the living beings upon it. Never hesitating, nor changing any of the ordinances which He has fixed.
"The unsearchable places of the abysses, the indescribable arrangements of the lower world, are restrained by the same laws. The vast unmeasurable sea, gathered together by His working into various basins, never passes beyond the bounds placed upon it, but does as He has commanded. For He said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and your waves shall be broken within you.’ The ocean, impassable to man, and the worlds-beyond, are regulated by the same enactments of the Lord. The seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, peacefully give place to one another. The winds in their several quarters fulfill, at the proper time, their service without hindrance. The ever-flowing fountains, formed both for enjoyment and health, furnish without fail their breasts for the life of men. The very smallest of living beings meet together in peace and accord. All these the Great Creator and Lord of all has appointed to the smallest of living beings to exist in peace and harmony; while He does good to all, but most abundantly to us who have fled for refuge to His compassions through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be glory and majesty for ever and ever. Amen."Compare the words of Clement to the idiocy of evil men. What is our problem? Again, it rests on man’s desire to usurp the authority of God and to establish a "new world order" of idiocy and utter nonsense. God did not create evil; man does that for himself. We all must place ourselves under the authority of God and live in harmony and peace under His natural order. To do anything else is idiotic.
