I just read an article, cited further on, about archeological digs in and around Jerusalem and what is known as the West Bank. In this article, I discovered an subtle, yet an interesting bias or bent on how the story is written, as though Jewish claims on the land are a modern phenomenon. There have been Jewish claims on the land since the time of the patriarchs, when G-d made a covenant with Abraham, reinforced it with Isaac, and then confirmed it to Jacob, whom He called Israel after Jacob was transformed into a new person (born again) following his all night struggle with an angelic Messenger. And like all struggles, it left Jacob/Israel a cripple for the rest of his life.
So it is today that everyone who struggles against G-d is crippled for the rest of their lives. What the writer of the article forgets is that a name on an artifact is not necessarily mean that the artifact is connected to a place or a person in the Bible, but if the Bible (which was written thousands of years ago), writes about a person, place, or thing as being at a specific location, and modern archeologists find these remains in the same location, I'd say that what they discovered is what the Bible describes thousands of years ago. Nobody is making it up as they go along, it's recorded long before any of us or our politics existed.
So, I'm beginning to detect an Anti-Israeli bias in the manner in which these stories are being written, with an aim to disassociate the Jewish people from the land and its artifacts. I'm beginning to see this bias translated into our current foreign policy, and what's more I'm beginning to feel the Anti-Jewish bias in the way some people talk about Israelis. The Bible says it will happen. This is the spirit of that works in the sons of disobedience. It should be exposed and rebutted at every opportunity, because to stand idly by and allow for subtle Anti-Semitism express itself, even from some who call themselves Jews, is inexcusable.
Those who know me, know that I abhor any expression or action that is racist. There is simply no intelligent or moral reason for such behavior to be tolerated. Yet, I know our Constitution well enough to understand that as much as I despise the expressions of Anti-Semitism or any form of racial or ethnic bigotry, I defend anyone's right under our Constitution to express themselves as they please, as long as such expression does not present a grave and present danger to anyone else.
I am then given the opportunity to rebut the person/s with intelligent argument while allowing the person to make it evident to those listening just how absurd their argument is. I am given through the practice of free speech, the opportunity to contrast one point of view over another, and allow the reader, or listener to objectively decide for themselves the outcome of such exchanges. This is why I do not denigrate the person, but the person's ideas, if they are fallacious.
This is why when I criticize for example, the president, it is not the man or his person of whom I speak, but his policies, his objectives, and what I have determined will be the outcome of such policies from historic imperatives and absolute imponderables that mark the way as evidence that when such measures were tried before, regardless of location, nationality, ethnicity, or natural resources and wealth; they were doomed to failure. Some economic systems work while others do not, and history is the evidence before US. The old command economies of the Soviet Bloc crumbled while those of the free world flourished.
But, I digress. One can tell the bias in a writer by the subtle and oftentimes, not so subtle way he or she expresses themselves. And in the article I just read about the digs in and around the "West Bank" and Jerusalem, I detect the writer does not believe the historicity of the Biblical accounts, and might even believe that the Jewish people do not have a claim on a land which G-d made an eternal contract with Abraham and the fathers to whom He gave this land for their possession.
Israeli Jews do not have to prove to anyone that they have a legitimate claim on the land. The Bible, written long before there were any modern group in the land; presents evidence of Jewish life in the land. In fact Jewish culture and life thrived in the land through various invasions and exiles, so what is all the hoopla over whether Jews should or should not live in Israel? It is clear from Scripture, the Jew belongs in Israel and Israel belongs to the Jew. This of course, does not mean that Jews and Arabs cannot or should not live in peace and harmony in the land. In fact, there are examples of this in the manner in which Palestinian Arab Christians and Messianic Jewish Israelis worship together the same G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Ishmael in various Messianic Jewish Communities throughout the land. In fact, this is how it will be during the Messianic Age, only that Israeli Arab Christians and Messianic Israeli Jews are the ones doing just this. The Person who binds them is the Jewish Messiah - Yeshua/Jesus. You will not see this anywhere else, but in Israel and among these two distinct communities united in their faith for the Messiah and the transforming power of faith in His name.
But, again I digress. What I wish to warn my readers here is that prepare to notice a rise in bias on how the press reports about Israel, just as there is bias in the manner in which the press reports about Christians. Where there is Anti-Christian bias, there follows also Anti-Semitic bias. One goes with the other, just as it did in Nazi Germany, and just as it did during the Spanish Inquisition when non-Catholic Christians, non-Catholic Jews, and Jewish Christians were openly persecuted for their faith. History has a way of repeating itself.
Watch for a rise in Anti-Christian and Anti-Semitic bias in news reporting. Subtle, as in this article I cite here - http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100324/lf_nm_life/us_palestininians_israel_jerusalem_digs - yet still there. When Anti-Israel sentiment permeates the Oval Office, and the president of the United States wishes not to be photographed with any Israeli dignitary, then understand that the times I write about and warn every reader about here, have come, and come they have. This is unprecedented in our history, yet here it is. The same president who bowed and had his picture taken with an Arab Sheik, is the same one who does not wish or permit any photographer present when meeting with a leader of Israel. The same president who ordered his Department of Justice to drop an investigation of Black Panther intimidation of voters during the 2008 presidential elections, is the same one who has ordered members of our government who served in the CIA to be investigated and prosecuted for alleged war crimes in the practice of interrogating enemy combatants. This is the same man who wants to give foreign terrorists the same Constitutional rights every American citizen enjoys, yet wishes to deny these same rights to Americans and allies who fought the enemies he wants to defend. There is something fundamentally wrong here folks. The Bible says, "Woe to those who call good evil and evil good, who exchange a gift for a bribe." Isn't this what we are seeing happening right before our eyes? Right in the White House and in the halls of congress?
It is time for Americans - and especially Jews and Christians to wake up. If we do not, we will be overrun by the barbarians. And folks, they're not at our gates, there within our institutions, amongst the most powerful and influential people of our land. Wake up, the time is short, and the enemy is in our midst. Rise up, and let your voices be heard. Rise up and let them know the level of your discontent in them. Rise up and organize, campaign, and vote. Rise up and put an end to the corruption, overtaxation, over-regulation, ever encroaching federal government, deficit spending, and bloated federal machinery. Rise up and bring change, before the fiat change of Marxism changes US beyond our ability to again change ourselves. Rise up.

THE DAY THE COUNTRY DIED
On this evening, March 21st, 2010, the United States of America (USA) ceased from being a Constitutional Representative Republic governed by the Constitution and rule of law, and was transformed by fiat along party lines into the United Socialist States of America (USSA). On this day the rule of law along Constitutional lines gave way to the soft tyranny of one party rule and the tyranny imposed by some over all without precedent in the annals of this once great republic. Late in 2008, I warned my readers that this is precisely what was to happen should the Democratic Party nominate Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency.
Few gave heed to the warnings, while many simply chose to shut their eyes requesting that they didn’t want to be bothered with “political” details about the man’s life and background because they “didn’t want to get political” – that is to say they didn’t want to hear or know about anything that would shatter an image which Obama’s campaign had carefully crafted for public consumption to transform the junior senator from Illinois from a hard left of center ideologue into a mainstream “centrist.” They did a good job. Some people sincerely believed that even Jesus was a “community organizer” – perhaps the most extreme examples of how the majority of black evangelicals had been duped by the propaganda campaign several black ministers successfully used in getting Obama the “critical Christian vote.” They would handle the details of Obama’s history of support for homosexual causes, and his strong support of NARAL and other radical pro-abortion groups. But this was not where it ended, had these people done their homework, they would have discovered that the junior senator from Illinois was the only elected official to publicly support infanticide, not just aborting babies, but ripping them out, a law which he promoted and voted for when a state senator.
When Barak Hussein Obama made the statement that he would “fundamentally change this nation,” it was not the type of change that Americans expected. What they wanted and what they got were two different things. They wanted Washington to change the way it conducted its business. They were tired of the corruption. They were tired of the partisan atmosphere that had taken over the capital since the Clintons arrived several years earlier. They were tired of the back room deals, the cronyism, the sweet heart deals, the payoffs, the political machineries that demanded state employees campaign for the machinery to keep their jobs; they were tired of the felgerkarb they had been handed. And most of all, they were tired of the lies by self-serving politicians. They wanted change, and they wanted it at any cost. And so they voted with their emotions, believing the promise of a better tomorrow that the young junior senator promised them. What’s more, they voted for history. They wanted more than anything else, to make their mark in history by voting for the first black president in the nation’s history. They believed strongly that by doing this, they would contribute to the nation’s racial divide, and put an end once and for decades of suspicion and hatred between America’s blacks and the rest of the county – that for the very first time – those accusing US of racial bigotry and injustice in the early twenty-first century would be silenced by the evidence before them. So, in this hope, they went out and in spite of the questions being raised by some about this young senator’s radical background, questionable alliances with known and unrepentant Anti-Semites, former terrorists, and Communists, including his work as a community organizer for them – the people voted for the man.
They were told to ignore what was being said, to ignore his stance on abortion, to ignore his strong support for homosexual organizations, to ignore even some of his promises of creating a civilian militia of “volunteers,” his promise to socialize medicine, which he called healthcare reform, and his continual harangue of business at every level. Even his statements about wealth redistribution recorded in interviews years earlier, and his own statements during the campaign to “spread the wealth around,” did not dissuade these people. They were set on a course which would guarantee the junior senator’s victory in November. And without anyone noticing or it ever being investigated, his campaign received donations from overseas to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Indeed, Barack Obama’s campaign would break all of the records for the amount of money it would raise to elect this junior senator with no prior experience in either business, or in foreign policy. And thus, we witness his election to the highest office in the land.
What is heartbreaking about this man’s election is that none of what was promised by way of symbolisms or what the public hoped they get, they ended up getting. Instead, they would discover a year later, and even this very night that the man of the people had become the imperious leader who would go on to impose his will over the people and the nation regardless of their wishes, and that he would take a political party to its end on this night, just as he successfully manipulated his party to end the Constitution for the sake of his obsessive dream.
May G-d have mercy on these United States and bring an end to the madness that has become an ObamaNation. The dream is gone, Would that the nation’s first black American elected to its highest office had loved its Constitution as many before him have – men like the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Roy Innis, the Honorable Chief Justice Clarence Thomas, Secretary Condoleezza Rice, economist Thomas Sowell, Professor Walter Williams, and many others. No, this man’s obsession to transform America was greater than his love and respect of its Constitution. His obsession took precedence over his better judgment, even if he ever had it to begin with, that is assuming he is not an ideologue, which to all intents and purposes he appears to be. It is the well meaning, but woefully misguided ideologue who brings ruin. And history has taught US that it is the well meaning obsession of some that has brought tyranny to many, and no nation has proven immune to its siren call of the promise of “equity and equality” at any price. Our founders understood that rights are given by G-d, and are protected from the tyranny of men by the rule of law, therefore they crafted the most unique human document outside of the Holy Scriptures ever drafted by a single group of men in the history of the human race – our national Constitution. But, if you were to peruse their writings you would discover that they write often of one truism – a Constitution such as ours can only be effective if men and women we elect to office know what it took for it to be written, the rights it protects which are not open to interpretation as some would have you believe, and that they respect it and honor with their lives. In order to accomplish such a feat one must elect honorable men and women to public office beyond reproach who would serve the public trust, and serve out their terms in dignity and humility, and then leave public office and make way for a new generation of leaders who likewise hold our laws with a due reverence and respect.
The current crop of elected officials, primarily as we have seen this very night, are less than this, much less, and have shown to all that their allegiance is not the flag or the Constitution of these United States, but to a political party and to a man, and when such things occur, tyranny and despotism follow. The banshee of despotism has shipwrecked many, and we’ve seen the devastation. So it has come to US. Change, right.
