Its Best Friend Is Ignorance By Jack Duggan

 
Its Best Friend Is Ignorance
 
By Jack Duggan 
 
 
NORWALK, Conn. - Michael Skakel was convicted Friday morning of beating his neighbor Martha Moxley to death in 1975 when both were 15...
 
The prosecution's case was instead based almost entirely on people who said they had heard Skakel confess or make incriminating statements. Among them were several former classmates of Skakel's from the Elan School, a substance abuse treatment center in Poland Spring, Maine....
 
Renowned forensics expert Henry Lee also testified that he found no direct evidence linking Skakel to the killing through DNA taken from semen, blood or material found under Moxley's fingernails.

Look at the above news article and see your future. No longer does it take hard evidence to send you to prison, just someone else’s word of what they ‘heard’ you say, even decades ago when you were stoned.

I couldn't tell you if Mr. Skakel is innocent or guilty, but going to prison on a murder charge based on recollected conversations decades ago seems to be a perversion of justice.

Some say that the people who heard Skakel's so-called admission of guilt were themselves undergoing drug treatment and could have worked out a deal to avoid their own prison sentences. Others mention that those witnesses could have been mentally impaired themselves at the time, and now falsely, yet honestly believe they heard him incriminate himself so many years ago. One of them died from a drug overdose, yet his statement of what he thought he heard Skakel say over twenty years ago was admitted anyway.

What was in the jury’s collective mind was that the most likely suspect was Michael Skakel, so he must be guilty and we’ll vote GUILTY. This is how people think today, after decades of mindless TV fodder. Public schools teach them to go with their feelings, ‘if it fees good, do it.’ Almost no one believes in hard evidence. They believe what they want to believe, based on popular opinion. And the popular opinion is always with the prosecution that knows character assassination works better than evidence: O.J. Simpson once beat his wife, so he must have killed her.

I am not exaggerating. In Ohio over fifty percent of the men on death row were released after a private group checked the inmates’ DNA against evidence left by the perpetrator. Over fifty percent were not guilty.

Are not juries more careful in death penalty cases? One would think so, but if in only one State over half of death row inmates were innocent, it indicates that there is little justice in our judicial system. In fact, it is corrupted by ceding so much power to judges and prosecutors, one may no longer expect a fair trial.

Can you imagine that if over half the inmates on Death Row in only one State were innocent, how many other prisoners are innocent? Those whose crimes did not involve sex have no way of being scientifically proven innocent. Could it be that more than half of convicts in prison for reasons other than sex crimes are innocent? We have no way of knowing, as most, like Skakel, were put away by words of witnesses, not by hard evidence.

What is wrong with the system is the abuse of judicial power that lends great credence to people's memories and allows juries no leeway in interpreting memory vs. evidence, nor to interpret the application of the law, itself.

Abortionist Dr. David Gunn was shot in Florida allegedly by Michael Griffin. Griffin, who truly believed he was saving the lives of children about to die, was not allowed to present this defense by the judge.

If a citizen is on trial for his very life, he should be allowed to say whatever he wishes in his own defense. That he is often forbidden his First Amendment rights in court is never examined seriously by the state nor the media. Yet this is how civilizations fail, when only government agents may decide what's 'fair.'

‘FAIR’ TRIAL
Anyone who shoots a perpetrator about to plunge a knife into a two year old on the street would be given a hero’s medal. But anyone who stops such an act because the child is pre-born is a dastardly murderer, according to the state. Mr. Griffin truly believed he was saving the lives of children.
 
One could argue for or against this defense argument in the case of Michael Griffin, but it should be argued by jury of his peers, not stopped by the judge before it even gets to his jury. Throughout the U.S. judicial system, judges are telling defendants what they 'can' and 'cannot' say in their own defense. This is hardly surprising in a nation that has suspended the civil right of self-dense under the Second Amendment. Is it any wonder over half the 'rapist-murderers' on Death Row in just one State were actually innocent?

JURY OF PEERS
One is supposed to be judged by a jury of one’s "peers." Yet, both the prosecutor and the defense get to tamper with jury members by asking them all kinds of questions about their prejudices and other intensely personal matters, in a process called "voir dire," which is French for "jury stacking." The fact that many people will lie to get off--or on--a jury doesn’t slow the system down a bit. Peers? Not unless the state says they are. It used to be that the first 12 people that showed up were your jury, but today only those who are politically correct survive the state-enforced filtration to insure a better chance that you go to prison.

JURY TAMPERING
Jurors in criminal trials have the power to vote NOT GUILTY if enforcing the law would violate their conscience because juries cannot be punished for any verdict and jury acquittals cannot be overturned. An accused party's rights to trial by jury, where government is an opposing party, includes the right to inform the jurors of their power to judge the law as well as the evidence and to vote on the verdict according to conscience. Yet since around 1900 both British and American judges no longer do this. Juries are often led to believe that if it can be proven that the defendant broke the law, the defendant must be convicted even if they feel the law is wrong in this case. Thus, they convict in ignorance.

Here is what juries who judged the law instead of the defendant and voted acquittals according to their consciences gave to us:
 
  • FREEDOM OF RELIGION, SPEECH, AND ASSEMBLY - William Penn (London, 1670).
  • FREEDOM FROM WITCH HUNTS - fifty acquittals in a row stopped witch trials (Salem, 1693).
  • FREEDOM TO STRIKE - anti-strike laws (late 1800's), which caused business interests to pressure judges to stop informing juries of their power.
  • FREEDOM OF THE PRESS (enforcing my right to compose this and send it to you without hindrance) - John Peter Zenger (New York colony, 1735).
  • FREEDOM FROM SLAVERY - fugitive slave laws (America, 1850s).
  • FREEDOM TO DRINK ALCOHOL - Ending Prohibition in the 1930s. (And we Irishmen are eternally grateful....)
Noah Webster, whose purpose in publishing a dictionary was to preserve the meaning of the language used in the Constitution, in his first Dictionary of the English Language (1828), included the following in his definition of "jury":
"Petty juries, consisting usually of twelve men, attend courts to try matters of fact in civil causes, and to decide both the law and the fact in criminal prosecutions."  Source: http://www.juryduty.org

JUSTICE IS BLIND
Today, we have a new form of slavery, one the Founding Fathers warned us against, yet we allowed to happen; slavery to a corrupt central government. Not only are the cards stacked against us in court, the cards are not even legible.
 
Over eighty years ago, an American citizen could walk into any pharmacy and buy any drug desired without a doctor's prescription or government control. There were addicts then, to be sure, but nowhere in proportion to the percentage today. Back then drug addicts were looked on as foolish, but otherwise ignored. Even the fictional private cop, Sherlock Holmes, was portrayed as a legal addict who could still function well in his profession. Since drugs were sold for their actual value (quite inexpensive) addicts rarely committed thefts and robberies to obtain purchase money.
 
Today, huge police, government and medical bureaucracies have pushed through thousands of anti-drug laws, yet the situation worsens daily. Because of the high price of illicit street drugs, addicts are forced to steal the necessary money. Crime is so out of control that no one feels safe on the streets of our cities or even in their own homes. This was all caused by government. Yet it is they who wage the 'War on Drugs' by usurping more and more of our civil rights while expanding its own.

DRUG CRIMES
It's not the Columbian cartels who are to blame, but the incessant appetites of U.S. citizens. Legalizing drugs, so that any idiot can ruin his or her body and family life as is done with legal alcohol, would allow addicts to purchase drugs for pennies at a retail store instead of dollars on the streets. Whole crime syndicates would then collapse. Street dealers and their drive-by shootings would disappear. Muggers and burglars would become an endangered species.
 
Stoners and dealers do not belong crowding our jails, only violent people do. Drugs should be sold, taxed and controlled like liquor and tobacco. It should never have become a criminal problem, just a medical one, but BIG GOVERNMENT has invented an unconstitutional class of 'criminals' that is so large that the USA has more people per capita in prison than any other country, even Third World dictatorships. "Land of the Free," is a haunting irony.
 
The elimination of unconstitutional drug laws would put a lot of cops, attorneys and politicians out of a job, possibly lessening our tax burden. Wouldn't that be awful?
 
UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW
If a Hostage Rescue Team held a drill at a penitentiary to rescue each and every prisoner who was there, even partially, for breaking a law that was not in accordance to the U.S. Constitution, what percentage of the prisoners do you think would remain?
 
Think of all the people in prison for illegal weapons possession and drugs, alone. That's about half, at least. Just like the innocent men on Death Row, these men are innocent. To anyone who honors the Constitution, that is. But just try finding such a person in Congress or in the judiciary. They are there, but they are in a small minority that can't seem to find a voice.
 
So, it's no surprise that Michael Skakel is going to prison based on no hard evidence because most go to prison based on no constitutional laws. It was only a short leap from no constitution to no evidence. All it took was to make judges unaccountable by slapping them on the wrist instead of slapping them in irons whenever they outrage the Constitution.
 
We as citizens are so ignorant of our true powers when we sit in a jury box, that we are shining monuments to the adage that, "Ignorance is the best friend of tyranny."

Gun Control Kills By Jack Duggan

 
Gun Control Kills By Jack Duggan 
 
 
Since the U.S. government will not admit that it was they who took away airline pilots' civil rights, particularly the inalienable right to defend oneself, it now will never admit that a $300 gun in each airline cockpit would have prevented over 27 BILLION dollars in damage and saved 5,000 lives by stopping the World Trade Center crash-bombings.
 
Since illicit gun control laws were forced upon American citizens, many thousands of people have suffered brutal assault and death at the hands of criminals who laugh at such restrictions. The citizens who would most benefit from warding off attacks are women who are usually at a grave physical disadvantage with a male attacker. But you won't see the N.O.W. or any other liberal women's group screaming for an end to restrictions on self defense, because they appease politicians in order to likewise manipulate Americans to their own aims. I find it strange that they claim to seek "empowerment" without demanding parity against superior male strength through the protection of firearms. Oops, I forgot; a woman needs to be a government official to receive armed protection and privileges.

Gun control laws remove no guns from the hands of criminals, they only disarm victims. So let's call them what they truly are: VICTIM DISARMAMENT laws.

While we are being forced to focus on Osama Bin Laden and the Al Queda terrorist network, not one talking-head "journalist" has had the courage to report the truth. The truth is that the disgraceful behavior of our federal government in both foreign policy and domestic victim disarmament laws is to blame for the horror of the WTC attack, as well as for the suffering of literally millions of crime victims across America. Those who impose such laws, from the U.S. Supreme Court all the way down the enforcement ladder to street cops, should be indicted for murder.

Yes, you heard me correctly. All who today deprive citizens of their civil rights by enforcing victim disarmament should be tried for MURDER. This is because it is a felony to deprive anyone of their civil rights. And any death that results during the commission of a felony meets the test of a capital crime, murder.

Before all you lawyers email me citing case and precedent to prove my statements wrong, I tell you that what is legal is not always just, as what is just is not always legal. Victim disarmament 'laws' are just state-sponsored terrorism, in that its populace must live in terror of the state.

Don't bother shouting that there is no explicit right to self defense in the Bill of Rights, tell that to the lucrative abortion industry. Call the Right of Self Defense an "...emanation from the penumbra...," of the U.S. Constitution. Besides, our rights precede government anyway.

The common man knows that those in political power are responsible for many thousands of deaths, including those at the WTC. But since those in power are great friends of many lawyers, there will always be loopholes that allow them to escape responsibility for their tyranny.

Does any "journalist" with a wide media platform have the courage to become a actual reporter and relay this? Because what I present is more truth than not, even to skeptics. Or does being a career-building "journalist" avoid all controversy by turning a blind eye, even when thousands of countrymen are being slaughtered? We saw this behavior in WWII Germany and we are seeing it now in the USA.

Like in earlier Germany, today journalists flock to government spokes-specialists who decide what the journalists are to parrot, to mollify the people so that they continue to support the war. As it was with WWII, so now it is with the "War on Drugs" and the "War on Terrorism," which do nothing to stop drugs or terrorism. Before September of 2001, the U.S. government spent ten BILLION dollars to "stop terrorism." Yet this did nothing to stop the WTC attack. They supposedly had no clue whatsoever before the WTC assault. And now, they want billions more dollars, expansion of their agencies, nationalization of airport security, and even MORE victim disarmament laws.

Senators and congressmen who run and hide behind armed Secret Service and other federal cops because of a few spores are telling you that you must not have the same tools to defend your workplace, home and families. They receive the smiles and sycophancy of the press who pass this cowards' message so happily.

Gun control kills. Because it is Victim Disarmament. The WTC would never have happened had the government obeyed the Bill of Rights and waged war inside our own government against those who would attempt to overrule human rights, rather than against little children overseas in Iraq and against preborn children everywhere.

A bitter irony is that on 911, not one terrorist used a gun to commit their infamy. Not one. All the thousands of illicit victim disarmament laws did absolutely NOTHING to protect the innocent.

The most bitter and final irony is that, had the pilots the same sidearms that they possessed while in the cockpits of military fighters, but now are forbidden because they are no longer federal employees, none of this horror would have happened. NONE.

Gun control kills. And it kills far, far more men, women and children than it could ever save.

So the next time elected officials who are victim disarmers brag about gun control laws and their newest goals for confiscation, call them what they truly are: MURDERERS.

When "journalists" preen before cameras to tout the latest federal lies that promise peace and safety if we would only let more rights go and empower government even more, BOO at them like real men and women did at Hillary Clinton. And make protest phone calls, letters and e-mails to their news desks and sponsors.
 
Tell them all, again and again until they get the message: gun control KILLS.

The First Victims of the US State By Jack Duggan

 
The First Victims of the US State
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
 

In this WorldNetDaily piece about the question of 'allowing' Indians to operate casinos on their land, he typed:

Should each of these groups be given a sovereign land within the United States and allowed to govern as they choose, free from taxes paid by others and free to engage in activities denied to others?

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, enacted in 1988, discriminates on the basis of race, against all non-Indians. Neither Jews, the Irish, Poles, nor Mormons can open a gambling casino on their own land. Is this equal protection under the law?

Mr. Lamb, I am part Indian and have spent time among the Shoshone. Fortunately for you, they maintain a sense of humor or maybe you would wake up one night minus your toupee.

You cite equal protection, but Amerinds never volunteered to be U.S. citizens and are a conquered people. Your saying that they should be treated as "equal" losers as are Mormons, Jews, Poles and other unfortunates is a very poor joke.

But your article slides deeper into the realms of self-validation with,

Americans are defined, not by color, religion or ethnicity, but by belief in, and dedication to, the principles of freedom, as defined in our founding documents. As a nation, we seem to have forgotten this fundamental principle.

And as a person, you seem to have forgotten the fundamental history lesson that Amerinds were here before the conquering Europeans. B-E-F-O-R-E. They preceded your "founding documents" by over a thousand years and never signed up to American hypocritical principles of freedom of the elite by the elite and for the elite who were white and owned property. This was a concept alien to most Amerinds back then and is alien to them now.

You opine that my brothers have no right to do anything they wish on what little land that white people with guns allowed them. Had you ever troubled yourself to visit reservation properties throughout this 'free' nation, you would have discovered that they are stuck in poverty on arid, useless tracts where no resources are located. In short, they are forced at gunpoint to live on land that white men don't want.

Now Native People have found a way of raising their standard of living a little by opening "Indian Casinos." How outrageous! Next thing you know, they might be able to afford a new car and drive alongside you as equals on the freeway, instead of being stuck in a broken chair on the reservation waiting for their next government handout. God forbid....this country is already teeming with minorities and letting them redskins control their own future is going 'way too far, say the Henry Lambs of the world.

Instead of focusing on overregulation of all groups by government, you write that the government should equally oppress the Amerinds. It wouldn't otherwise be fair. But fair to who?

"...belief in, and dedication to, the principles of freedom...," does not define Native Americans. Pontificating, hypocritical elites love to spout about such concepts when the reality is far different to every Native American and to every thinking American.

This "Land of the Free" has more people in prison per capita than every other nation on earth, including third-world dictatorships. Ten times more than communist China.

Presidential Executive Orders (I call them PXO's) have been quietly signed that give the Feds the power to grab up absolutely anybody, any business, and anything else when they deem it 'necessary.' PXO's have been ruled valid by the USSC even though they suspend every human right and dignity without legislation or even the review of Congress. PXO's treat us all just like Indians.

See:
 
 

Since the government took over local schooling around 1940, black illiteracy has doubled and white illiteracy quadrupled, despite the fact that we spend three or four times as much relative money on schooling as we did before 1940. Today, 40 percent of blacks and 17 percent of whites can't read at all. In 1940, 20 percent of blacks and 4 percent of whites were illiterate. This isn't the Land of the Free, it's the Land of the Ignorant.

In the false name of the "War on Drugs" more Constitutional rights have been eliminated than most people realize. Already we have tens of thousands of people in prison with their cars and homes confiscated for daring to put a substance in their bodies they so chose, even though the USSC declared a person could freely choose, without government interference, to have control over those same bodies for the right to have an abortion.

"Children" who cannot "legally" have sex under the age of eighteen years because they lack the mental and social capacity to give consent are tried every day as adults when the same hypocrites in legislatures decide that they do have the mental capacity to commit a crime.

Under the U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act, citizens no longer have rights against unreasonable search and seizure and are now subject to secret surveillance and searches of their property without due process, even for foreign governments. Police officers carrying out illegal searches are granted legal immunity if they were just carrying out orders, even though Nazis who "were just carrying out orders" were not allowed that defense and were sent to the gallows at Nuremberg.

It seems that many think government is the source of our rights and so government can take them away whenever it chooses. And people like you can't get a clue why the Native Peoples don't want any part of the crazy white man's government and its useful-idiots who want to pontificate who does and who does not deserve to have a place under the sun.

America 2008 By Jack Duggan

 
America 2008 By Jack Duggan
 
 
The selling point for implanting biochips beneath your skin is that they cannot be stolen. They can be used to access ATM’s, pay bills, sign contracts, verify your identity - all without your wallet - and locate lost or kidnaped children. Should you, yourself, become lost or disabled, a global array of satellites will locate you, or any person who has been implanted with a SIB (Subdermally Implanted Biochip) anywhere on the planet.

A SIB can contain complete, valuable medical data about its wearer, saving lives in trauma cases. It can also index the wearer’s criminal record, voting record, party affiliation, and level of access to government facilities and benefits, all without the wearer knowing exactly what’s in there. Citizens will just have to take the government’s word that everything is kosher.

Eventually, governments will insist that all citizens have SIBs. You will not be able to use your bank, open home utility accounts, nor sign contracts unless fitted with a SIB, for ‘security purposes.’

One day, your car won't start and you won't be able to get a tow truck nor money to repair it because it your SIB chip is not working. The bank’s ATM won’t accept your SIB’s code, yet you see it accepting the SIB’s of other customers.

Your spouse will call from the grocery store, saying her chip also isn’t working and she can’t buy food for the kids. Once, stores accepted both cash and SIB’s, but by edict of the Federal Reserve System, no one may use cash nor credit cards any more. All for reasons of ‘national security’ of course.

After hours of begging a government agency for an answer, it will turn out that a 20 year old clerk in Scumpond, Mass., put a hold on your whole family’s chips because of an unpaid parking ticket attributed to your vehicle’s license plate number.

You shout that you have never even been to Scumpond, Mass., but it falls on deaf ears. You are told that you will have to take the matter up with Ms. Dumklerk in person. You telephone the Scumpond City Hall Department of Revenue from your neighbor's home, as your own phone was just shut off because of your “criminal status.” They tell you that Ms. Dumklerk is on a leave of absence, so you'll just have to be patient until she returns. No one else can help you, because Ms. Dumklerk encrypted access to all her files with her SIB code, which is against procedure, but they never had time to train her properly because they are underfunded and overworked.

You are told to call back in a four weeks, when Ms. Dumclerk might be back from the rain forest. Sorry.

Unable to buy or sell, you turn to family, friends and neighbors for aid. You need a car to get to work, food, diapers, milk, a kerosene heater for your house and candles, since the electric is shut off.

Your parents try to help, but they are immediately warned at the cash-less register in the store that they are not allowed to exceed their “fair share” in purchasing food and hardware for an elderly couple, which has already been calculated by the U.S. Department of Earth First. Sadly, they give you what little excess they had in their pantry, but it will only help your family for a few days. Ditto for your few friends and neighbors. After surrendering their small hordes, most give excuses, because they know what it means to fall under the scrutiny of the government for exceeding their “fair share” of the planet’s resources, as scientifically defined by U.C. Berkeley.

After two weeks, the baby is whining for milk, the children are begging for food and your wife can't stop crying. You no longer can use a phone to call Scumpond. Your neighbor just told you that his telephone is off limits, since you caused it to exceed the time allotment authorized by the U.S. Department of Communications Conservation. He is now himself under resource scrutiny.

Desperate, with no options left, you remember the old unregistered pistol buried beneath your bedroom floorboards. Never in your life did you think you would stoop this low, but the baby is now screaming non-stop
 
Associated Press Trenton,
New Jersey TRENTON HERALD
Tuesday, November 25 - "A typically over-breeding Trenton terrorist, a father of six, was caught approaching an unnamed convenience store on Broad Street with a concealed weapon. Automated sensors sent an alarm to the Trenton Federal P.D. who immediately surrounded and arrested the terrorist. Fortunately, there were several TFPD agents in plainclothes within one block of the incident. As federal policy dictates, the terrorist’s name is being withheld for national security purposes. He will be sent to the island of Guam for a trial by a U.S. Military Tribunal to determine all his accomplices and then be executed. As is mandated by federal law, his immediate relatives will also be terminated to remove the contamination of their defective, terrorist genes from society.

All else who are discovered to have aided this terrorist cell will be sent to U.S. Department of Education camps in Ohio. Several neighbors are already under arrest by counter-terrorism SWAT agents.

U.S. Senator Hiram Walker has called for a Joint Investigation Committee to stop terrorist violence, as seen in Trenton, by retrofitting all SIB’s with explosive charges so that federal police agents at the local level may interdict such crimes more immediately. He pointed out the multi-billion dollar savings to the tax payer if the practice of sending thousands of terrorists and their genetic carriers to Guam every month can be stopped because FPD units will have the great privilege to solve such problems locally with the new Explosive Subdermally Implanted Biochips (ESIB) on defective terrorist gene groups and their abettors.

The Senator stated his supreme confidence that all straight-thinking citizens would welcome the new ESIBs in the name of national security. Senator Walker added that he anticipates no resistance by his constituents, because such objections would be unpatriotic and thus be in violation of the Amended USA P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act."

6-Day School Week All Year Long? By Jack Duggan

 
6-Day School Week All Year Long?
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
 
 
Democrat Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, which has the third largest school district in the nation, has announced that he wants to extend the school week to 6 days, all year long, meaning no more summer vacations. Daley’s model is Communist China, where he vacationed, which has 250 days of brainwashing – excuse me – schooling per year. It seems that the mayor admires the Chinese government and wants to model his administration just like it.

Daley somehow thinks that six days of mediocrity would be much better than five days of mediocrity. And he wants that to extend from 180 days per year to the Communists’ 250. It seems that the plan is to force kids to become good and obedient little robot socialists.

Just imagine, publik skool not only for 6 days a week, but for longer hours each day, and then for 12 months a year.

Sobering, isn’t it? Education for exactly what?

All year in publik skool to become a better publik fool? Why does Daley and his cronies want to extend the misery longer?

LONG ANSWER

Chicago Teachers Union officials said they support year-round schooling, but say teachers would have to be paid more. It would have to be written into their union contracts, and for more money, of course. Sen. Martin Sandoval (D-Cicero) will propose legislation next year to possibly raise the minimum required days of school attendance in Illinois after careful consideration and learned debate.

SHORT ANSWER

More money; for the democrat unions, suppliers and especially for the political SICKO’s (Socialists in Charge of Killing Opportunity).

Political SICKO’s, as do all socialists, live at the expense of the tax-paying sheople, increasing their ‘fair share’ by impoverishing not only the children but their whole families as taxes are raised yet again. All will be called good, when it is evil. Those good citizens who voice dissent will be called evil by the SICKO’s.

The irony of this situation is that most publik skool teachers are themselves graduates of the same system. They can’t spell much better than their students. So the students will grow up dumb and dumber and not able to get a decent-paying job since Congress sold them down the river. They simply won’t be able to pay the increased taxes with which Daley, Sandoval and the other SICKO’s try to empower themselves. In fact, all will be taught the socialist diversity of false entitlement and expect to be given free jobs, free health care and free rein to do everything but work. SICKO’s invariably commit slow-motion suicide by their own stupidity.

Albert Einstein once said that, “The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.” Einstein was an eyewitness to German SICKO’s who ruined their nation, as well.

“If we want to compete against China and India, we have to change," Daley said.

Associated Press writers in their puff-pieces about SICKO politicians rarely mention how home-schooled children easily outstrip 98% of public school kids in math, the arts and sciences and even in spelling, making them frequent winners in national spelling bees. Never said is how private and charter schools often use less money and produce graduates with far better skills. Yet mayor Daley, SICKO that he is, wants to imprison children even longer in the useless tedium of the SICKO-run public obedience schools in Chicago.

People who like Dracula movies recognize that SICKO’s are political vampires sucking the people dry – of their money, their parental control, their dignity and their hope. SICKO’s prove this by shrinking in horror from crosses or any other public display of spirituality. Most likely the SICKO vampires will use a good portion of the pending ‘education’ tax increases to continue fuelling their  bloodlust to exterminate the good because it burns their evil.

The people of Chicago should make a deal. They’ll allow their kids to go to publik skool 6 days a week and the democrat unions get an increase in pay, only if Daley, Sandoval and all of the State congress attend their jobs only one day a week and get paid for only one day a week. That would put a stake through their SICKO hearts and would be well worth the sacrifice.

Tyranny of the Heavyweight By Jack Duggan

 
Tyranny of the Heavyweight
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
The Arkansas State legislature recently passed another unconstitutional law, this time forcing school teachers to log on report cards the weight of their students. Kids will be singled out and weighed and called "fat ass" even more than before because politicians pretend that they can fix hereditary and cultural problems by taking away the privacy and dignity of little kids. As incredible as this sounds, such a 'law' indeed has been written by the same State that brought us the Clintons. See the details here.

As most politicians are cash-whores, you can bet that this is all driven by insurance companies who make campaign donations and give them free 'seminars' in Hawaii and the Caribbean. This is ultimately aimed at reducing insurance dollar payout in claims. If kids are 'fat' by their health charts, they will charge extra or perhaps refuse to pay. They are considering refusing to cover smokers, fat people, old people (they already won't fully cover anyone eligible for Social Security) or any of a growing list of lifestyles. Yet their policy is hands-off people with AIDS, which is far more preventable than obesity. Could AIDS deaths be reduced from similar childhood lifestyle tinkering?

Can you imagine passing a 'law' that teachers have to log on report cards if students exhibited gay behavior? After all, that's a serious medical threat because of AIDS, which costs vastly more than an obesity-caused heart attack. The chances of students dying is exponentially greater with uncontrolled gay sex than by uncontrolled eating. I don't know what the mortality percentages are for a fat kid, but I know that AIDS would be 100% fatal to him.

So why aren't the politicians busy passing laws that spot childhood gay tendencies? Not only would that be politically incorrect, but worse, there's no money in it. But there is lots of money in the obesity scam. Lawyers are already gearing up to sue fast-food restaurants like they did tobacco companies and this legislation is their first step to getting what they think are millions of bucks just waiting to be plucked. They get richer, the insurance companies get richer, the politicians get richer and you and I get poorer and breathless while our chains are pulled tighter.

Soon it will be 'child abuse' if a kid is overweight and his parents will go to jail. The 'fat' kid goes to a foster home where the zoo keepers are paid $700 a month, the welfare agency that removed him from his home receives up to $7,000 in bonus federal grant money, while insurance companies get government money for his health care and gratefully give more money to the politicians.

Jesus said the root of all evil is the love of money.

It doesn't matter how many homes politicians wreck, how many children's hearts they break, how many parents they drive to desperation and violence, they want M-O-N-E-Y. Their insurance-company contributors want M-O-N-E-Y and most of all, the lawyers want M-O-N-E-Y. And God help anyone who gets in their way.

All evil is done in the name of good. Those that pretend to 'care' and 'share,' care only for themselves and share your money with those that support their immoral despotism. Meanwhile they not only break up families and hearts, they break up nations, just like they did in Greece and Rome where they also grabbed all the power while good men did nothing.

The state will decide how you must not only teach and raise your children, it now wants to regulate how much and what you feed them. Soon there will be government-approved lists of what we all can and cannot eat, drink and play at. Otherwise we will be arrested, our children taken away, our bank accounts emptied fighting the lawyers with even more lawyers, and then we will be forced into membership of yet another government-created class of 'criminals' that never existed in 1776, 1876, or 1976.

It is no wonder that the average American fears politicians, judges and lawyers ten times more than terrorists.

The Few, The Proud, The Supremes By Jack Duggan

 
The Few, The Proud, The Supremes
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
 
 
In her Magnificat, Mary, the mother of Jesus, said that, "He has confused the proud in the conceit of their hearts." (LK 1: 51)

It is reported nationally that Terri Schindler's husband-in-name-only wants to "pull the plug" on her.

Pulling the plug is what I asked for my own father. After a massive heart attack he was on a ventilator and had no brain waves. As soon as the ventilator was turned off, he immediately expired, making no movement. And like Terri Schindler's parents, it broke my heart.

The proud legal system hears only what it wants to hear: parol evidence that Terri had once stated that she didn't want her life prolonged by tubes. We can only rely on her vagrant husband's word for this. He reportedly collected over a million dollars for her rehabilitation and to this day hasn't started any rehabilitation regimes, so we have no idea how far she may have recovered, had he allowed it. It is said that he even refused to treat her bedsores. But the courts have stalwartly refused testimony to this effect, that her 'husband' has a record of constantly going against Terri's best interests, whether true or not. He insists that Terri wants to die.

The courts continue in refusing to acknowledge that food and water are not medical treatments and are not the same as a life-support ventilator. If Terri could eat with her own hands, she would still be subject to be killed by the state upon the whim of a 'husband' who could swear that Terri said that she wanted to die rather than be confined to a bed, eat hospital food, not be able to ice skate on Florida's Lake Okeechobee, etc. Unfortunately, courts have the latitude to interpret as they see fit.

The courts refuse to hear that Michael Schiavo has de facto abandoned his privilege over the fate of Terri by taking a new wife (common law) and having children with her. How he can retain any legal standing before the courts who are eager to recognize homosexual 'marriages,' yet cannot seem to recognize Schiavo's new one, which invalidates his old one to Terri.

The proud choose not to see what working Americans easily see.

It is said that Terri Schindler exists in a "permanent vegetative state." My father had was in a permanent vegetative state after a massive heart attack. He never opened his eyes. He didn't move and he had a flat EEG except for basal brain stem activity related to autonomous function. Terri interacts with both staff and visitors. But she cannot talk and so is being treated as a preborn child, who also cannot speak, by our Culture of Death.

Repeatedly, nurses, doctors, family and friends have attempted to supply eye-witness testimony that Terri reacts to visitors and tries to communicate. Some basic words and intentions can be discerned by those intimate to her care. Yet the courts refuse to hear it. These are the same supremacist courts that enforce the 'law' of aborting over 60 million preborn inconvenient, mostly minority children in this country. Roe v. Wade insured that millions of black babies would never be born to become criminals and welfare recipients, costing society billions of dollars. So how can we expect them to endorse the sanctity of life in Terri's case, since she likewise drains precious resources?

Greek civilization that endorsed euthanasia and suicide plummeted into a non-world power. The word "euthanasia" comes from the Greek 'eu' and 'thanatos' and means "a good death." The word has come to mean the bringing about of a gentle and easy death especially in the case of incurable and painful illnesses. But slowly dying of thirst can never be gentle nor easy. It is cruel far beyond any death-penalty execution and exceeds Terri's original suffering, and does so exponentially.

Imagine yourself going without water for not three days, but for over a week. You would not do that to a dog. Members of P.E.T.A. would scream for your hide. But if you do it to a disabled, 'useless' person, the proud supremacists, who love to tell everyone else how to live, applaud.

This country is sick.

Like the Greeks, our moral apathy will devolve America into a third-world nation. As long as we allow a minority to not only steal from the majority (federalism) but to hijack our God-given natural rights through judicial activism, we will one day soon be as relevant as France in the world community. It is we who are becoming "surrender monkeys" to the daily unconstitutional abuses of judicial power.

A legal system that insures that the maximum number of preborn children are executed painfully every day cannot be relied upon to make any other decision in defense of life, unless it is the life of a judge, a political appointee, or a homosexual.

A Supreme Court that instituted abortion of useless "fetuses," based on not one word in the U.S. Constitution, but by "...an emanation from the penumbra of the Constitution...," can and will justify death sentences of equally useless disabled people.

If the constitutional foundation doesn't exist, judicial activists will interpret it as so. They have become the Final Solution to not only our freedoms but to all lives that they see as inconvenient.

And who is inconvenient is determined by which way the wind blows.

Euthanasia, Schiavo and the Nazis' Eugenics By Jack Duggan

 
Euthanasia, Schiavo and the Nazis' Eugenics
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
 
 
Ending life support against the will of the patient, especially when the patient is NOT brain dead, like Terry Schiavo, who was not brain-dead, is murder. She was killed because she was handicapped and useless. She was NOT on life support machine, just being given food and water.
 
The Nazis did this during WWII. Through a program of eugenics, the weak, the handicapped and the mentally challenged were all murdered after a state-sponsored propaganda program in all German movie houses. The Nazi films showed the very worst cases of human malformation to cause revulsion in the public, and lied to them, that need resources were being denied German sons in the front lines because they were being 'wasted' on these sub-humans who deserved only death, as a 'mercy' to them. After these films were aired a program of heartless murder was enacted and thousands of patients in institutions were butchered.
 
Whoever wants to stop water and food with a patient that is not brain-dead is no better than a Nazi, no matter how they attempt to couch their infamy in false and self-serving 'good intentions.'

Voluntary Euthanasia Is Suicide By Jack Duggan

 
Voluntary Euthanasia Is Suicide
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
 
 
How about for patients who feel no longer loved?
 
How about patients whose judgment is affected temporarily by drug and treatment regimens?
 
Please comment on what is so humane about seeking death before any spiritual considerations.
 
You might also cite the 'success' of the involuntary euthanizing of over 40 million preborn children as justification that convenience and pleasure are strong considerations over whether lives at any age are 'worthy' of continuation.
 
Finally, who gets to decide who lives and who dies? A doctor? A nurse? Greedy relatives? Your congressman? You?
 
Maybe we ought to leave it up to a judge. Maybe Judge Greer is still available with his unbiased and constitutionally even-handed imperial wisdom.

What is 'Wrong' About In-Vitro Fertilization By Jack Duggan

 
What is 'Wrong' About In-Vitro Fertilization
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
 
 
What is 'wrong' about IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) is not just the creation and destruction of embryos/children for a low-success procedure, it's the orientation.

How may blind humans challenge the wisdom of God? If God has ordained that a person be infertile (or have ten children,) who are we to seek to alter His plan?

We are on earth to expiate our errors, not to compound them. In refusing to accept being barren, diseased, or any other lack, we add error to error.

We each must take up our cross and find God. We must stop attempting to manipulate God by changing His plan as if we know better than He.

We often pray to God like He's too dense to know our needs before we do. We want everything from the One we give nothing. And if He does not give us children, then we will take them! Thus, IVF is just another path downward to Hell.

The sin, the 'satan,' is in the ego that decides its wisdom superior to the Creator's and refuses to surrender and accept suffering as purification for the advancement of souls.

Those that seek the material will reap it, but they will see it turn to dust before their eyes.

God is not to serve us, it is we who are to serve God.

Any procedure, any belief, any religion and any advocacy that seeks to serve self is the anti of God. Even "donating eggs" defies what has been ordained and is the anti of Christ.

IVF proves that, indeed, "... the road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

Fish Universe By Jack Duggan

 
Fish Universe By Jack Duggan
 
 
 
To the fish, water is all there is.
 
When a fisherman pulls forth the fish from its element, it is not only the snare of the hook but the sudden absence of water that shocks it.
 
 
All it had known is vanished into a new reality that destroys its life. It then becomes transformed into a higher life form when it is consumed by the fisherman. Constituently, the fish becomes the man, but the man never becomes the fish.

 
Man is complacent in his fish universe, which he measures with only five senses. Mankind’s materiality and identification with the physical world is equally limiting.
 
Even when told of the atmosphere above and around his material barrier, most often he rejects such information and remains entrapped in the material while continuing his attempts to make God perform as a human, even though, like man, God can never become the fish.
 
What makes fish and men apart is that fish have no choice in their seeing, whereas men choose what they see.
 
It is men who become illusions themselves because they refuse to see their illusion of separateness.
 
Men who see with their own two eyes are blind. Those who close their eyes to look within themselves, see.

 
A fisherman dips his fingers into the water to rinse his fingers.
 
A fish sees four fingers dipped into its pond by the fisherman as four separate creatures. It cannot imagine that all four creatures are one in the hand of a human outside of his universe of water.
 
Yet there is only one creature invading its pond. Men likewise look upon each other and perceive separate individuals, yet are as backward as the fish in perception, for all mankind is One.
 
Separateness is an illusion created by those who have yet to learn to look beyond the water-atmosphere barrier.
 
 
Where is the barrier between the material universe of mankind and the ultimate state of reality?
 
It exists right before each and within each.
 
There is only one personhood.
 
There is only one consciousness.
 
There is only one soul.
 
There are many manifestations of the One.
 
Yet as a finger has no eye, most of mankind also have no eye, for the eye that is  single  is the only one that truly sees.
 
...If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.  (Mt 6: 22)
 
One may advance the same way as does the fish, which suffers the hook, discovers a new universe of existence, is consumed, and thus becomes one with the fisherman. Likewise, men must suffer a cross, discover a new universe of selflessness, and become consumed by the Many to become One with all, much like the man once consumed the communion Host, the divinity of which was imparted to become the man until the circle was completed by his spiritual advancement into the One.
 
Each human being who has seen within the mystery of physical or sacramental holy communion, becomes the host offered for consumption to those who are in a higher state of existence, to become the ultimate One. Instead of a stone altar, men offer themselves on a spiritual altar of sacrifice, where individuality is finally set aside and all is unselfishly offered to the many who would become One.
 
"To see ourselves as others see us...,"  wrote Scottish poet, Robert Burns. Yet he was limited by seeing only the material universe. The correct form is to see others as ourselves.
 
Each is a finger, a manifestation of the creature many call God, the Source, the Many, or the One. Each person is an intimate manifestation of ourselves with varying degrees of blindness imposed by our choice to exist too substantially in the material world at the cost of blindness to the real World, which is most often called,  The Kingdom.  The kingdom is all about us, but few have the eye to see it.
 
As long as we remain in spiritual separateness and see ourselves as discrete individuals, we cannot advance to the real World. When we deny our very selves and take up the cross of sacrificial love at the expense of self, for the love of our other  selves,  we begin to see and live in the only reality, the reality of One consciousness, One soul, One personhood, One power, and most of all, One love.
 
Loving all others as we love ourselves, we then are loving our true Self, which is all others.
 
Instead of asking God for acts of His will, we must become His will without thought and without trying to understand it. Do this and we are already in the Kingdom.
 
Those who choose to remain in a fish universe will never be worthy of the net.
 
Those who turn to the infinite ocean of wisdom within and find that all are indeed One, will enter the higher reality, the Kingdom, and never need to return again as a fish.

What Really Hurts By Jack Duggan

 
What Really Hurts By Jack Duggan
 
Hearts in pain are not hearts of love
 
 
 
Consider that all spiritual pain is from not truly forgiving those who trespass against us.
 
Teaching someone to truly forgive is to teach them to truly love.
 
The Kingdom is all about us, but few have the eyes to see it.
 
Only hearts of love can see to enter the eternal Kingdom,
 
And forgiveness is the Key that opens its gate, From both sides.
 
Now you know what few others understand.
 
Cherish it and teach it to your brothers and sisters.

Ask Not By Jack Duggan

 
Ask Not By Jack Duggan
 
 
 
Those that God loves, know lack and illness, not prosperity and health.
 
Those that equate material success with 'blessings' know nothing of success nor of God.

Those that ask for nothing, receive everything.

Never pray to receive anything, for that is religion, and religion is the enemy of reason. Instead, trust that the Father knows what you need before you ask for it. Don't tell Him how, where and when. Don't presume to tell Him at all.

Have faith, not religion. Ask not.

It is only when you give all that you will receive all.

Many do not want to hear this because it goes against their comfortable, preconceived notions of spirituality. Such people tend to trust only other people---theologians, popes, bishops, doctors---only 'experts' that they think know more than them. Yet when a voice crying in the desert approaches, they shut their minds and open their mouths to create wind instead of Life.

It's impossible to teach people in a spiritual coma because they are insensate to truth. Only when the comatose make a great effort to ascend through their pain and suffering to force open their eyes and ears, can they advance in the experience to eventually become one with the Rock of Ages.

Until we frail humans can learn to ascend without being forced to do so by material discomfort, there will always be

disease,

pain,

persecution and

suffering,

for that is the only path that can be seen in the dim light of the ego. For most, cancer is the cure.

Do not attempt to convert those who do not seek. Love them, pray for them, be a center of peace to them, but never an advocate. They will not 'buy' until they have the coin of reason that is earned only through the great pains and misfortunes of what they call 'life,' but is not.

Until people learn to not seek 'blessings,' they will profit nothing of what the Kingdom has to offer them. They will only begin to receive true blessings when they have learned to ask not.

Church Ideas on Heaven and Hell Valuless as Straw By Jack Duggan

 
Church Ideas on Heaven and Hell Valuless as Straw
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
During Mass on the Feast of St. Nicholas (December 6), 1273, Thomas Aquinas had a detailed, heavenly vision that caused him to give up his writing. Entirely. After the vision he was pestered by a nun who was insisting that  he annotate his Summa for publication, but he waved her away, charging her to put it together any way she saw fit, adding, "I can write no more. I have seen things which make all my writings as valueless as straw."
 
Three months later, he died, having written not one more word. Thomas was said to have acted bewildered, as if the people around him were suddenly speaking an alien language.
 
The works of St. Thomas Aquinas founded the traditional Christian beliefs of Heaven, Hell,  reward, punishment, as well as the natures of man, Church, souls, and especially, sin. Most all our current beliefs come from his seminal work. He is equated as the greatest Doctor the Church and the Christian world has followed Aquinas' conceptualizations ever since. Yet Aquinas blew it all off after seeing the reality of the next life. Why?
 
What we think of as justice is a joke to reality. When we think a criminal is 'irreformable,' so give him a life sentence or the death penalty, it is we who become irreformable. When we thirst for punishing even the worst offending priests in the American Church, it is we who pronounce our own punishment.
 
Let me repeat this: Whatever we judge upon another, is done exactly to us. Even while we are in a jury box, unless we show mercy.
 
Some of us are beginning to understand reality. And it's ugly, because inside, we have allowed ourselves to become so blind to the suffering of our brethren, that we are uglier than we'd ever imagine.
 
Sin? Sin is intentional ignorance. Of the Church within, of the government, of society, of our brothers' plight.
 
When we are ignorant, we cannot feel the responsibility to act. And since we don't want to act, we stay intentionally ignorant.
 
All 'criminals' and 'terrorists' commit negative acts because they were not under the law of Love, and thus, Grace. They failed to receive love from us, because we remained intentionally ignorant of their suffering, whether it was loneliness, deprivation or despair. And when they come after us for redress, we put them in prison or kill them.
 
Aquinas who we thought knew everything about the "Church," discovered at his life's end that he knew nothing.
 
And so it is that so many, many periti, bishops and intellectuals, know even less.
 
What about you?

Why Would God Watch Over the USA? By Jack Duggan

 
Why Would God Watch Over the USA?
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
 
According to Snoops.com the urban legend entitled ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ is TRUE: 
 
This is a beautiful photo of a giant American flag in Yuma, Arizona The photo is authentic, UN-Touched and was taken on regular Kodak 35mm film. The person who took the picture couldn't believe the image created by the suns rays.

 
Nice of them to share it with the world!
Read what is says under the picture...
 
For those that prefer to think that God is
not watching over us...go ahead and delete
this. For the rest of us...pass this on
 
 

To those who think the above is a positive sign, I have the Brooklyn Bridge to sell to you.

 

A nation that has killed over 50 million preborn children in the womb, ignores the God of love at its own peril, committing the further sins below that may bring a crucifixion of the USA:

 

1)  Suspends the Geneva Convention by calling POW's by another name, "enemy combatants," some only 14 years old.

 

2)  Suspends human rights in ordering torture of POW's and even American citizens, allowing these human rights abuses to continue globally.

 

3)  Approves our troops kidnapping children and women, just like the Gestapo, in order to make "insurgents" surrender to save their families.

 

4)  Suspends most civil rights through the PATRIOT Act and nationwide blanket surveillance of innocent Americans.

 

5)  Allows the President to declare himself absolute dictator, excuse me,---"Unitary Executive"---free to ignore the Congress and courts, as well as state, federal and international laws.

 

6)  Allows the President to suspend the powers of Congress by signing secret treaties with Canada and Mexico and refusing to tell Congress what those treaties contain.

 

7)  Flies suspects out from the USA to countries where torturing them is 'legal.'

 

8)  Allows his Attorney General to refuse to grant persecuted Christians sanctuary in the USA while allowing Muslims and millions of illegals 'amnesty.'

 

9)  Violates the First Amendment rights of the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, peaceable assembly, and to petition the government for redress of grievances by forcing protesters behind barbed wire in "Free Speech Zones" over a mile away from Presidential public appearances.

 

10)  Violates repeatedly the U.S. War Crimes Act , committing innumerable U.S. federal felonies deserving long prison terms.

 

11)  Outrageous ongoing violations of the 13th Amendment by forcing recently discharged veterans and veterans due to be discharged to return to fight for oil control in Iraq and elsewhere for unspecified periods of time, converting U.S. citizens to slaves.

 

12)  Allows the President to grant himself whatever dictatorial powers he desires each week based upon his false "War On Terror," when the 'terrorists' had been trained at U.S. military bases, are mostly still alive, while the three WTC buildings were destroyed by daisy-chained demolition explosives according to over 500 eye-witnesses at the scene. (THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF 9-11-2001  ISBN 0-7623-1305-6  pages 90-93, 169-173)  All their eyewitness testimony was expunged from the final report of the 9-11 COMMISSION and the government's version was substituted.

 

Anyone who thinks the above photo means that God is 'watching over' the USA, I ask,"WHY?" "Why would He? Because we obey His commandments so well? Because we follow the Love that Christ taught us so well?"

 

Could not the above photo means that the USA will be crucified? Isn't that far more likely? This supports the revelations at Fatima, Portugal in 1917, where it was prophesied that the sun will be the future instrument of the Grand Chastisement.

 

MT 13:

49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.

 

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire (exposed to meaga CME's that envelop parts of the earth killing 2/3 of humanity?): there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

"...millions and millions will perish from hour to hour and the living shall envy the dead."   (Third Secret of Fatima)

 

 

To understand Fatima and what is going to happen, it is absolutely imperative to read:

 

FATIMA PROPHECY by Ray Stanford  ISBN 0-345-35510-5

 

The cosmic event referred to as "The Chastisement" is described in detail on pages 158, second paragraph through page 165, second paragraph.

 

Also read an extract of the ‘Third Secret of Fatima’, which is being circulated presently in diplomatic circles, published on PeacefulAssembly.org:

 

THIRD SERCET OF FATIMA REVEALED

http://www.peacefulassembly.org/node/245

 

In the Time of the End, they will call the good, bad, and the bad, good, precisely as is occurring in the American culture of death today.

 

Calling the above bad photo, good, illustrates how far-spread is the delusion that God endorses this country. He does not, any more than He did Nazi Germany which called those it chose to torture and kill, "Untermenschen." Today, we call preborn children, "fetuses," and POW's, "enemy combatants," even though both classes are cherished God's children.

Third Secret of Fatima Revealed By Jack Duggan

 
Third Secret of Fatima Revealed
 
By Jack Duggan
 
 
 
As revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fatima, on 13 July 1917.
(Detailing both the vision and the message.)
 
--------------------

I write in obedience to you, my God, who commands me to do so through his Excellency, the Bishop of Leiria, and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.

(visual)
After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an angel with a flaming sword in his left hand. Flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire, but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand.

Pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, PENANCE!!"

And we saw in an immense light that is God. In a manner similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it, was a bishop dressed in white. We had the impression that it was the Holy Father. Other bishops, priests, men and women religious, were going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with bark. Before reaching there, the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins,  half trembling with a halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow as he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way. Having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross, he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him. And in the same way there died, one after another, the other bishops, priests, men and women religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions.

Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two angels, each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.
 
Tuy-3-1-1944

(audible)
"Don't worry, dear child, I am the Mother of God speaking to you and begging you to proclaim in my name the following message to the entire world.  In doing this, you will meet with great hostility. But be steadfast in the faith and you will overcome this hostility. Listen, and remember well what I say to you.

Men must become better. They must implore the remission of the sins which they have committed and will continue to commit.

You ask me for a miraculous sign so that all may understand the words in which, through you, I address mankind. This miracle you have just seen was the Great Miracle of the Sun! Everyone has seen it - believers, and unbelievers, country and city dwellers, scholars and journalists, laymen and priests. And now, in my name, it is proclaimed:

A great punishment shall come to all mankind, not as yet today, nor even tomorrow, but near the second half of the twentieth century. What I have already made known at LaSalette through the children Melanie and Maximin, I repeat today before you.

Mankind has not developed as God expected; mankind has been sacrilegious and has trampled underfoot the gifts which were given it.

There is no order in anything. Even in the highest positions, it is Satan who governs and decides how affairs are to be conducted. He will even know how to find his way to the highest positions in the Church. He will succeed in sowing confusion in the minds of the great scholars who invent arms with which half of mankind can be destroyed in a few minutes. He will bring the mighty ones under his thumb and make them manufacture armament in bulk.

If mankind does not refrain, I shall be forced to let fall my Son's arm. If those at the top in the world and in the Church do not oppose these acts, it is I who shall do so, and I shall pray God my Father to visit His Justice on men. It is then that God will punish men more harshly and more severely than he punished them by the flood, and the great and powerful shall perish thereby, as well as the small and weak.

There will also come a time of the hardest trials for the Church. Cardinals will be against cardinals and bishops against bishops. Satan will put himself in their midst. In Rome there will also be big changes. What is rotten will fall, and what will fall must not be maintained. The Church will be darkened and the world plunged into confusion.

The big, big war will happen near the second half of the Twentieth Century. Then fire and smoke will fall from the sky and the waters of the oceans will be turned into steam - hurling their foam towards the sky, and all that is standing will be overthrown.

Millions and more millions of men will lose their lives from one hour to the next and the living will envy the dead. There will be tribulation wherever the eye can see and misery over all the earth and desolation in all countries.

The time is continually approaching, the abyss is growing wider, and there is no end. The good will die with the wicked, the big with the small, the princes of the Church with their faithful, and the sovereigns of the world with their subjects. Satan's henchmen will then be the only sovereigns on earth.

This will be a time which neither king nor emperor, cardinal nor bishop, is expecting. But it will come, nevertheless, in accordance with my Father's plans, to punish and avenge.

Later, however, when those who survive all things are still alive, God and His glory will once more be invoked and will once more be served as He was so long ago, when the world had not yet been corrupted.

I call on all true imitators of my Son, Jesus Christ; on all true Christians and latter-day apostles. The Time Of Times is coming and the End Of All Ends if  mankind is not converted and if this conversion does not come from above, from the directors of the world and the directors of the Church. But woe, woe if this conversion does not come about and if all remains as it is, it all becomes even worse.

Go, my child, and proclaim it! I shall remain always by your side, to help you."

"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres. Churches and altars will be sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord."

Scientific Proof of God as Prime Mover By Jack Duggan

 
Scientific Proof of God as Prime Mover
 
By Jack Duggan
 
DARWIN AND EVOLUTION DON'T MATTER - IT'S WHEN THE SPIRITUAL CHARACTER, OR 'SOUL,' WAS ADDED THAT COUNTS
 
 
Cause and effect. It is firmly held by science and logic that each effect that we witness must have a cause. Every plant, every animal and every microorganism lives, functions, evolves and dies as an effect of outside causes or forces. Because of this there is an overall logic to the function and interaction of every living thing on this planet. Except one.

Human beings alone perform unselfish acts such as giving sustenance to others outside their families. It is clearly illogical to survival to deprive oneself of food and property when nothing is gained to enhance one’s own security. Animals do not operate in this manner because they would not survive if they shared food and protection outside their immediate bloodlines. Lions repeatedly chase away all animals from their food except other lions within their own pride.

What places humans in the singular position of self-denial for the benefit of strangers, which is alien to all other species on this planet? Most people say it’s because of the superiority of human intelligence. If that is true, then why do animals of relatively higher intelligence, such as apes who can use sign language to tell lies to handlers to escape blame, still not show the smallest concern for the welfare of co-species outside their immediate group?

If intelligence were the key, unselfish sharing would occur in all planetary species in direct proportion to their level of intellectual development. This is certainly the logical extension, but such is not the case.

Humans, unlike animals, think and perform in the abstract, consider realms of possible consequences to past, present and future actions, and perceive past the concrete into a further dimension. This dimension can be initially described as something above immediate reality and beyond the five senses with which both man and animal survive. Many call this non-physical dimension “spiritual” because it exists in no palpable form.. Humans therefore operate in a ‘spiritual’ dimension that other species do not. Where did this trait originate?

The studies of Charles Darwin and resultant science observe that every living thing evolves and changes solely because of forces that are external to and outside of the organism. Organisms change because of their environment. All of science agrees that only external physical forces can cause physical changes in every animate and inanimate unit in the known universe, down to the smallest subatomic particle. Since this is universal cause and effect, what outside force could impart a non-physical or spiritual change in an organism that would make it be able to perceive non-physical dimensions? It follows that only an outside spiritual force could impart a spiritual evolvement in an organism, causing the once-animal to perceive abstract concepts like social law, philosophy and time itself. This abstract conceptualizing is what makes human beings distinct, and they are all spiritual qualities.

As far back as can be traced, all primitive human groups are known participants in non-corporeal, spiritual beliefs and rites. This signifies their uniqueness among all other species in our environment. In contrast many modern ‘educated’ people who are insulated by the luxury of technology from the real world, behave quite differently by either ignoring or denying spiritual entities and beliefs. They see no conflict with their ancestors nor the irony that they employ their abstract spiritual abilities to deny the existence of their abstract spiritual  abilities. They call spiritual aspects by other terms in the name of science, specifically because science has failed to test and measure within the five senses that which exists outside the five senses. This is why aboriginal groups view non-believing civilized people as the true ‘primitives.'

Spiritual beliefs are founded in a strictly human abstract called, “faith.” Faith is defined as a belief in something that cannot be proven within the five senses, but can, however, perhaps be proven with the intangible function of logic. Anyone who has the capacity to understand the basis of Darwinism must also accept this:

It is an inarguable scientific absolute that only external force can cause change; thus mankind, which alone possesses an abstract spiritual construct, may only have been changed by an outside spiritual force.

Mankind has most often referred to this outside spiritual force as “God.” Those who choose not to believe in God still believe in other spiritual qualities such as love, ethics and even happiness. They do not see that the mere ideation of these abstracts points to their origin as beyond outside known physical forces that could never have caused them.

There are historical records that support the existence of a prime-mover spiritual force called God. In Judeo-Christian scripture there are experiences that, when taken as a whole, are evidential. Most interesting is that God created man “...in the image and likeness of God.” This doesn't mean that man looks like God physically (how can a body look like a spirit that has no body?) but that we became homo sapiens, setting us apart from all other earthly creatures through the gift of abstract spiritual perception which, until this bestowal, only God Himself had. This gift caused us to be changed utterly. We no longer existed in just the physical world of the five senses, but partly in the spiritual as well. All other hominids not receiving this endowment eventually became extinct because they were unable to conceptualize technical achievements in food gathering and in tactics necessary to successfully compete with Cro Magnons who had the new abstract dimension infused by an external spiritual force.

No matter what our individual perception of the abstract prime mover, or God, it is logically inescapable that we could have derived our spiritual abilities only from a spiritual source, no matter what name we choose to give it.

As only a physical force can induce a physical change, only a spiritual force, a spiritual prime mover, could have induced our spiritual change.

Throughout history men have interpolated themselves between the created and their Creator, claiming that their interpretation of scripture, that their understanding of what God wants, is superior to others.' This has caused more hatred, strife, persecutions and outright warfare than anything else in history. While conferring spiritual qualities upon man by God has been a gift, it seems that when some men try to in any way limit how others perceive and employ that gift, it becomes a curse.

When men proclaim the ‘truth’ that others must follow under penalty of physical or spiritual death, the truth is that they are wrong. There is only one truth, within the Prime Mover, the Creative Force, or God, and it exists within each of us, His created beings, only to the extent that we do not attempt to override the free will of other created beings.

It is said that the Creator has bound Himself to never, ever interfere or to otherwise override our free will, since we would no longer have free will if He did so. Societies, institutions, churches, groups or individuals who physically or even psychologically force others to believe as they do, are not of God. If God Himself does not force, then anyone who does so is opposite to God. Thus most all world religions, all sects, rites and practices are not of truth because they are not of God, Who is the sole font of truth.

Anyone who accepts science and logic must accept that there is, indeed, a Prime Mover to our spirituality, a "God." God being the source of our spiritual component can only be the prime model of it, the truth, which men  call Good. Those that choose to impose their views, their will upon us, are the opposite of Him, which many call an evil choice.

If there are always opposites such as cause and effect, light and dark, yin and yang, good and evil, then there must be a God-state (truth, good, heaven) and the anti-God state (falsity, evil, hell). Yet there will  always be people far too selfish and jaded to acknowledge the existence of an endowed human spirit and its Creator source. This is because such acknowledgment infers that one day one can be held accountable for error, for doing things that are anti-God. To such people, happiness is in material possessions and social status, so they invent convenient, personally tailored moralities that always find the path of least resistance to their selfishness. Such people will endlessly invent excuses as to why they could not be held accountable for their lives of materiality and will frequently induce others to follow their corrupt example.

Those who choose to perceive beyond fashion, political agendas and legislated morality, understand that the truth is external to themselves and is of God. They acknowledge that the essence of spirituality is not gaining material enhancements, but in giving them away. While this is illogical in the animal, physical world, it is not illogical in the spiritual.

The spirit cannot be affected mechanically for it to be developed to its highest form. Only spiritual tools can be used. Those tools are logic, avoiding falsity, unselfish sacrificial love for others as indicated by the Christ consciousness, and teaching others to love the truth without ever, ever forcing others to learn or to obey the teacher. Only in this way can individual human beings escape the forces of natural law to finally evolve wholly into the spiritual. This can only be accomplished through the abstract abilities given to us by our spiritual Prime Mover, our living God.

Man O' War By Jack Duggan


 

Man O' War


Into the tempest wind and tides
Few men and ships endure,
Go stalwart men and freedom’s guns
A’sail the man o’ war.

Surmount the storm, bold oaken prow,
Your tattered linens fly,
Bow plunged into the swirling foam
As riggings hum and sigh.

Forge on into the howling gale
Where storm clouds rail and moan,
While timid ships are safe in port
Thou tills the cobalt loam.

The man o’ war that dares to rule
Upon the boiling main,
Subdues the cauldron’s bubbling might
And ends the tyrant’s reign.

The ship that slips inside the reef,
The storm to flee from sea,
Rides safe far from the crashing waves,
But in her nest, ne’er free

Forgotten Son By Jack Duggan


 

Forgotten Son


With eyes narrowed to the Royal Guard
He stood in farm boy clothes,
Musket forward, fearful to stand,
Yet too proud to run.

Hearing no command but the buzzing
Blood-rush in his ears,
Freedom, that day, in ritual death,
He spilled on the green at Concord.

In the Hall they spoke great words,
More farm boys to come and die.
Come from your fields, tall green corn
And answer our oaths, made wounds.

Leave the breast of mother’s love
And your father’s hope forsaken,
On trembling legs made purposeful
For holy ground not yet consecrated.

All summer had gone to frost, yet
Light-words commanded away his winter
With power and lust for the spring to come
That eyes may see, or not.

Young face made stark in the foundry,
Madness in fields of broken wheat,
His flame blown flat in the winds of the season
Leapt for the calm of the night.

His price: our bondage,
And as the chain-handlers gather about,
Young men, as old men, now wither,
Without memory of what was bought.

Cast blood on fallow fields
Raised no more corn to the sun.
His atonement on the altar,
His nourishment,
All ashes in the Hall of light.

Dare Again!

 

When we read the writings of our Founding Fathers and compare their character and selfless dedication to the amoral, sleazy power-grabbers now infesting government at all levels, we feel helpless to voice ourselves.

I feel that the Betsy Ross Colonial flag represents honor and the submission of the state to godly principles, while the current 50-star flag represents dishonor and the replacement of God with worship of the state.

History books that record the Jewish genocide of WWII Germany will not leave out the far worse genocide of ten times as many unborn poor who's only crime was their inconvenience to a selfish country that touts the 'law' of its 50-star flag and ignores the God of the eternal thirteen stars Who once burned so brightly in the hearts of men. Thus, to fly the 13-Star Colonial Flag is to voice that:

what once was, could be again,
if those who once dared
would dare once again.

Everyone who loves their country and not the
government should honor only our original U.S.
Colonial flag with its thirteen stars and stripes.
