National Security At Risk

Looks like President Obama is still sitting on his hands when it comes to ensuring our national security. Earlier this month, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer sat in the Oval Office with President Barack Obama to discuss the critical issue of border security. The Governor personally related to the President the concerns of millions of Arizonans over the lack of security on Arizona’s southern border. During their visit, President Obama committed to present details, within two weeks of their meeting, regarding his plans to commit National Guard troops to the Arizona border and commit to spend $500 million in additional funds on border security.

Two weeks have come and gone and still it’s all talk and no action.

Two days ago, Brewer sent a letter to the President outlining her Four-Point Border Surge Strategy. Here is what she wrote:

Dear Mr. President:

Thank you for the opportunity to visit with you in person during my recent trip to Washington, D.C. As you know, the issue of border security is foremost in the thoughts of many Arizonans and Americans alike, and I appreciated the chance to personally relate to you my concerns and outline my proposed solutions.

Mr. President, the need for action to secure Arizona's border could not be clearer. Recently, my office received a number of calls from constituents concerned at reports of new sign postings in interior counties of Arizona warning residents not to access federal lands due to criminal activity associated with the border. These warnings signal to some that we have handed over portions of our border areas to illegal immigrants and drug traffickers. This is unacceptable.

Instead of warning Americans to stay out of parts of our own country, we ought to be warning international lawbreakers that they will be detained and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We ought to be establishing measures to ensure that illegal traffic of any sort is kept to an absolute minimum, and that Americans are safe and secure within our own borders.

When we visited, you committed to present details, within two weeks of our meeting, regarding your plans to commit National Guard troops to the Arizona border and expend $500 million in additional funds on border security matters. You also discussed sending members of your senior staff to Arizona to discuss your plans. While I am pleased the 28th has been set for a meeting time and we have reviewed a copy of the Department of Homeland Security's "Southwest Border Next Step."

Governer Jan Brewer

My friends, look up! for your redemption draws near!

Another Mass-Extinction In Progress?

You thought the oil spill was bad? It could be worse. What about the dispersants that they are dumping into the Gulf in an effort to break it up? Do they really believe that's going to help take care of the problem, or are they doing it just for the camera, as they say, hoping that people will feel better about it because something is being done? Could it be that they don't really care whether these dispersants harm the marine life or not? Could it be that they chose the dispersants they did because they stand to gain financially from using them?

Find answers to these questions and more in this article and by following the links that they provide. Even before the oil spill, our oceans were on the verge of some mass extinctions. Is this what is going to tip it over the edge?

"And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead person: and every living thing died in the sea." Revelation 16:3

The call goes out - the end is near. Look up, for your redemption draweth nigh. And the Spirit and the Bride say, "Come".

Terrorists Ambush Israeli Inspectors

Wait a minute... that's not what the mainstream media has been saying. Well, you need to get your facts straight. Do your homework. Get the REAL story!

A fleet of ships left Turkey under the pretense of sending humanitarian aid to the people living in the impoverished Gaza Strip, but with the expressed purpose of breaching a blockade that Israel set up to protect its own country. The boats reached the blockade, and the Israelis inspected the vessels one by one, as they have many times in the past. Everything went peacefully until they came to the sixth boat. As they boarded the sixth vessel members of the Turkish crew attacked them with sticks and pipes, knives and bats. Unable to subdue the brutal assault with paintball guns and tear gas, the Israelis opened fire, killing nine.

That's one side of the story. The other side states that the Israelis were the first to fire, unprovoked, from both air and sea, before they even boarded the ships.

Who, if anyone, should we believe? Stories abound about the Turkish flotilla being full of "peace activists." What is a "peace activist?" If you play any part in a mission to bring weapons to people, are you innocent? If you knowingly board a ship that intends to breach the security of another nation, are you innocent? If a person knowingly and willingly puts himself in danger, does he or she not assume all responsibility for whatever happens?

The truth is, I have not heard or seen anything yet that proves the Israelis were in the wrong for doing what they did. And I have read both sides of the story. Even if they came up at dawn and conducted a surprise attack, even if it was in international waters, can they be blamed? With all the statements that had been coming from those who organized and operated the flotilla, could Israel be confident that the safety of its citizens would not be jeopardized if this flotilla arrived in Gaza un-inspected? Since the flotilla was being sent specifically to violate the blockade, was Israel not justified? Since the ship did not respond to repeated requests to stop and undergo routine inspection, was Israel not justified?

Yes, the people of Gaza are impoverished. It is not Israel's fault. The blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the Gaza government. If they would settle down and get a life, and try to live and let live, their people could prosper. If they resolve to co-exist with Israel and show it with their actions, Israel would not need a blockade to inspect everything that comes into the country.

If your fellow citizens were in danger of their lives, would you not support a blockade, including the use of force if anyone tried to slip through without inspection? How about a convoy trying to enter your city, which was known to be associated with terrorists? Would you not want them to be searched? Why, we are by law even privileged to keep within a reasonable limit what goes on in our neighbor's yard! No, compared with the way Hamas has been treating Israel, I don't see that Israel did anything out of line.

"Shalom" to all.

Dismay Over Oil Spill Fueling Drive For Alternative Energy

While we are watching the massive and expanding oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico, and the blame game is starting in Washington, I want to ask a few questions: who is really responsible? Sure, BP seems to have been the corporation in charge of the actual drilling, and everybody else involved was simply working as subcontractors, but why did BP go there in the first place?

Now, before you get excited, I'm not shifting the blame to all the common people that consume oil. I want to take a good look at all the politicians and special interest groups that may have influenced or encouraged BP to go there. I need to ask some questions, and I don't know the answers to all these questions. I'd be happy to have some help in finding the real answers.

Why have oil companies turned to drilling offshore to the extent that they have, when we have enough oil reserves here on the mainland to satisfy our nation's demand for many, many years? Has nobody considered the possibility of something like this happening? Did they really think the benefits outweighed the risks?

Look, I know that drilling for oil on land has its impact on the environment, and I understand taking precautions against further endangering species that may already be threatened with extinction, but is that really worse than oil in the ocean and oil on the beaches? Why have the environmentalists been so adamant about no more drilling in the great reserves that lie along the Rockies and yet do so little about drilling in the ocean where something like this might happen and destroy nature on a much, much greater scale?

Like I said, I don't know all the answers, but here's a few things I do know. The environmentalist movement was started with a noble purpose. Those who founded it had wisdom and common sense. Their concerns and objectives were such as I myself share. But their organization was hijacked. Some of the same people that used to be leaders of the Communist Party are currently in charge of some of the most influential environmentalist groups.

Could it be that they are knowingly promoting policy that is destructive to our once great nation? The Communists have always hated us; always been jealous of us. We need to take a serious look at these questions and find out what's going on. Then, we need to be proactive about it -- do not tolerate more drilling offshore or in any foreign nation as long as we have so much right here in our own country. It is no less harmful to the environment to drill in any of these other places than it is to drill in our vast oilfields out west.

Ultimately we need to individually take a more active role in using alternative energy sources. Here is a video outlining some of the latest exciting advances in energy technology.

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

State Sovereignty Being Attacked Again

Arizona has made a bold move. They have passed tough new immigration laws. The governor signed the bill on Friday, saying that because Washington has failed to take care of the problem with illegal immigrants, Arizona had to act on its own to protect its legal residents.

And that is a valid concern. In March, a rancher was found shot to death in his all-terrain vehicle. Being right at the border with Mexico, it is believed that the murderer was an illegal immigrant or a drug dealer, or both. It is clear that the border is not secure. Anybody that claims it is, is a liar. Why does the federal government let this go on? I know why. To a large extent, at least. Because of politics, and (don't forget this one!) because of who they are working for! That's right. The federal government is no longer working for the American people. This has been proved over and over by them doing so many things in direct contradiction to the will of the public majority.

But that is not my subject today. The new bill, which by the way is mostly just enforcing laws that had already been in place, has caused a lot of furor, and even the president is threatening to take action against it. Opponents of the bill argue that it encroaches on the federal government's authority to regulate immigration and violates people's constitutional rights by giving police too much power. (Could it be that the president is concerned about his own inability to provide proof of citizenship? I'm sure it strikes a nerve.)

Those of you that share these concerns, let me ask you: Who gave the federal government that authority? and do the states not have any authority to regulate immigration? For a state to crack down harder than the national government is perfectly legal, and the states should have that right. Now, it would be quite another thing if a state would disregard or claim exemption from a national law clamping down on illegal immigration for the sake of national security. And as for violating people's constitutional rights -- wait a minute! Anybody that is here illegally has no constitutional rights! That's right, the constitution is only for legal American citizens.

One reason Arizona passed the law is because the state is financially broke, and they are desperate to cut down on aid to those that do not legally qualify. The president of Mexico says the law is discriminatory and warned that trade and political ties with Arizona will be seriously strained by the crackdown.

Discriminatory?! Let's get this clear -- discriminate against whom? To discriminate involves excluding or restricting members of one group from opportunities that are available to other groups. I do not hate Mexicans. In fact, I have some very lovely Hispanic friends. This bill does not discriminate against Hispanics, neither is it designed to. It discriminates against illegals! Even many legal Hispanic immigrants are fed up with the immigration of illegals. Why? Because it affects them the same way it affects everybody else. Negatively. Yes, I suppose there comes a time when you must enforce the laws to bring freedom and justice first of all for those to whom it belongs: the legal citizens of the state!

Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, who also thinks Arizona is taking it too far, made the following statement: "If every state had its own laws, we wouldn't be one country; we'd be 50 different countries."

This is so twisted you could have a hard time getting your head straight again! Quite the contrary is true. Every state makes its own laws (in fact, some states have a clause in their constitution allowing them under certain circumstances to leave the United States! This is the way it should be.) If every state had identical laws, we would no longer be 50 states, but one great nation state with no more need for state governors or legislators. Or state lines, for that matter.

Way to go, Arizona! We stand behind you with full support.

My friends, live free or die!

US Has Largest Known Oil Reserves In The World

A while back, a well-known news program was interviewing one of the Forbes Brothers. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer: “How much oil does the U.S. have in the ground?” Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "More than all the Middle East put together."

The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana. The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to greatly reduce American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at up to 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.

"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst. "This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. (This was two years before this updated report!) It's a formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada. For years, U.S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves, and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!

Here’s another headline:

U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World

Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006

Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?

How can this be? How can we NOT be extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY?

James Bartis, a researcher on a related study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East - more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.

Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again!

It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists? Click here to read the USGS article. Let freedom and peace prevail!!

Mask Coming Off Child Sacrifice

The Obama Administration has just peeled off one of the false faces of the pro-abortion groups. For years, abortion rights activists have asserted the right to choose whether they could have an abortion or not, arguing more or less effectively that the government should not be involved in their personal choices, in this case meaning medical choices. Now, with the health care reform bill dubbed ObamaCare, the government has been brought into making medical decisions for you way, way beyond anything an abortion ban would have done. This proves what most of us have known all along: they are not actually against government involvement. All they want is pleasure without responsibility, and sin without consequences. Click here to read a very good article about this subject.

There is a limit to what choices the people should have the freedom to make. For example, we have laws to prevent the over-killing of animals. We have laws to bring to justice those who commit murder. Have you never considered that when one hates another so much he wants to kill him, he might feel justified in it and even think it a personal right to do so? Or when one is simply an inconvenience, or a burden, should others not have the right to kill him? Whatever happened to the sanctity of human life?? Whatever happened to the Supreme Laws of God, where He said, "Thou shalt not kill?"

The truth is, these people with a liberal mindset are, whether they know it or not, pawns being used by the globalists to create a worldwide socialist government. A major part of their agenda is depopulation. Abortion serves many purposes. It keeps the population down, especially the black race. (By the way, that's why HIV was invented, too.) But it also propagates a godless, irresponsible society. It undermines respect for human life. And it brings the wrath of God upon the people. Child sacrifice is an abomination to Jehovah, no matter what shape or form it takes.

Who will speak up for those innocent ones who cannot help themselves???
