WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE WITHOUT MESSIAH?

Without question, many Christians and Jews and Messianic Jews agree that the G-d they worship is the Lord G-d of Israel; the Living G-d of all Creation. The difference is in their belief with regards to the Person of the Messiah. Judaism lives in hope of the Messiah’s coming, Christianity lives in the thanksgiving that He has already come and is soon to return.

The big difference between the two is the fact the while one group does not recognize the Messiah, the other does, and therein lies the difference. Be that as it may, nevertheless, whether or not He is recognizes does not mitigate in one bit what G-d accomplished through the Person of Yeshua during the Second Temple Era, a prophetic time of expectation for those within Judaism who were awaiting the Messiah’s coming, because Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and several other prophets indicated that specific period as the time when Israel should expect Him to make His appearance to the Jewish people.

Also prophesied and understood by Judaism before the rise of Christianity, was that Judaism would not recognize His visit, and reject Him for a time (Moschiach ben Joseph). Since the Second Temple Era, and the rise of Rabbinical Judaism following Jerusalem’s destruction on the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av, in the year 70 of our Common Era, He has been rejected and cutoff from Jewish Social and Religious Life, just as the prophet Daniel predicted. Since that period to this day, Rabbinical Judaism, which is the form of Judaism that predominates Jewish Social and Religious Life, has rejected the Person and Messiahship of Yeshua/Jesus.

This however, as I mentioned earlier, has not mitigated what G-d has accomplished through this One Solitary Jewish Life – Yeshua ben Joseph, ben David, ben Abraham, ben Adam, Ben YHWH. While Rabbinical Judaism has remained a closed religion, and the Jewish Community a community where few non-Jews have been given access to, Messianic Judaism has brought down the wall that divides Jew and Gentile, and has brought together both into faith through the only One in Jewish History that has accomplished this; Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah.

It has been a belief of Judaism since time immemorial that the knowledge of G-d would one day span the earth. Before the coming of Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah, few non-Jews, Gentiles were part of the Jewish nation and Commonwealth of Israel, but since the coming and appearance of Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah, people from the nations of the earth, every nation; have become ardent worshippers of the G-d of Israel and supporters of Israel because of their faith in Jesus as Messiah.

Through Him, the knowledge and worship of the One True G-d of Israel has reached the nations of the world. There is not a corner of the earth that has not been affected by this One Significant Jewish Rabbi. Through Him, the veneration and study of the Hebrew Scriptures has reached even the most far away places.

Whether it is tuning to a radio station or watching television, it has become a common thing to see or hear Gentiles teach authoritatively from the Hebrew Scriptures, who are strong supporters of the right of the Jewish people to live in the modern State of Israel.

It is an amazing thing to both see and hear a Gentile believe with full conviction and venerate the unique sacredness of the Hebrew Bible. This has been made possible through their faith in Jesus as the Messiah.

Through Him human lives have been transformed. And through Him some day, Jews will worship the Lord G-d side by side with their worst enemies, whom have turned from hatred and religious bigotry and Jihad to the worship of the G-d of Israel through the knowledge of G-d brought only through accepting Yeshua/Jesus as their personal Messiah and Savior, and turning from sin and terror, and death.

We are already seeing such change in many places, and there is report that in Israel Jews and Arabs in many places are part of congregations worshipping the Lord G-d of Israel in and through the Person of the Messiah Yeshua/Jesus. These are the Messianics of which I and my family are a part of G-d’s grace. Today, Jews, Arabs, and Gentiles from many lands find their peace with each other and with themselves, through faith in Yeshua and what He promises to bring to them through faith in Him.

And through Him they have found their shalom with G-d, because not only is the Lord our Righteousness, He is also our Peace. In this message, I seek to outline by way of explanation what this faith means to me, and to so many others, who like me, have found Him of whom Moses and the prophets wrote about, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph.

When has such a thing ever been seen in the history of Israel? When in religious history has such a thing been seen anywhere, except AFTER the appearance of Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah to the Jewish people during the Second Temple Era of the First Century of our Common Era? While Rabbinical Judaism, like Joseph’s family, does not recognize its Son, the non-Jews have found faith in the G-d of Israel through their faith in Him. This is without doubt, the most significant religious occurrence since the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai.

At Sinai, Israel met its G-d and received its Law. At Cavalry; the human race received the grace of G-d and reconciliation with Him through Jesus the Messiah. The evidence of this is all around us. And while the world as yet may not be transformed, it will never be transformed unless first human lives are first transformed, because before kingdoms change, men must change. It is of this change and what it means and how it has affected my life which I share below.

The following I wrote a couple of days ago while waiting for my mother at the butcher’s shop in my Jeep. It is about G-d’s grace towards us and what it means in light of Yeshua’s death and resurrection. My prayer is that it will communicate and do justice the message of the Good News that Messiah has come; that there is forgiveness for sin; that there is redemption of the soul; that there is a living hope of being fully and completely reconciled with G-d, and that the realization of this will encourage those who read what I share below, and the Lord G-d be glorified, and that the Lord Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah will be lifted up and glorified.

This morning as we listened on the radio to Dr. Charles Stanley, beloved teacher of G-d’s Word, he said something that brought home for us in his message about the free gift of God’s salvation in Messiah. He said that when we sin, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1John 1:9), if we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and the truth is not in us. (1John 1:10)

When we confess our sins to Him, we are not forgiven because we confessed our sins (that is simply an admission of our guilt), we are forgiven because Messiah died for our sins and paid the penalty for them. This is why we are forgiven. Because of this, we are forgiven by G-d and cleansed by His blood from all unrighteousness. It is the sacrifice of G-d’s only Begotten Son, Who paid the penalty for our sins, having taken upon Himself the full force of G-d’s wrath that paid the price required by G-d for our redemption. This is why we are forgiven, and redeemed for G-d by the offering provided by Jesus the Messiah on our behalf.

Our confession to G-d of our guilt and repentance for having broken the commandment, asking for G-d’s pardon is our confession that we understand that we in and of ourselves are unworthy of G-d’s mercy, and cannot save ourselves, or do anything on our part to obtain our forgiveness (from G-d), but that we entrust ourselves, putting our complete trust in the complete sufficiency of G-d’s provision on our behalf to provide for us that which is needed to spare us of G-d’s wrath, and that such a provision has been made for us by the Lord Jesus the Messiah, for by faith you have been saved, and that not of yourselves, it is the free gift of G-d, lest any man should boast. (Romans 3:21-31, Ephesians 2:8-9) This is what is meant to live by faith; by faith in whom or what? By total faith in Him who died for us, rather who was raised and is seated at the right hand of G-d the Father; that He is who He says He is – the way, the truth, and the life, no can come to the Father but by Him. (John 14:6)

But the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart in taking this truth a step further – that is in giving me deeper appreciation of this life transforming truth – and this is what He disclosed and made so real to me, and brought it home.

Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. (Hebrews 9:22) If Jesus had not surrendered His life to pay the price for our redemption, and had not resurrected from the dead – defeating the price and power of sin over the grave; when coming to G-d to confess our sins before Him, the guilt would remain because there would be nothing to expiate the wrath of G-d for that sin upon us, and we would be lost, and still in our sins – the commandment bearing witness against us in the court of G-d’s assembly, making it abundantly evident that we are violators of G-d’s Law. Without Messiah there is no forgiveness for sins. What am I saying here? I am saying that without Jesus, every time we’d come before G-d to confess our sins, admit our guilt before Him, and ask for His forgiveness, there would be nothing to appease the wrath of G-d we merited for those sins, and we would remain with our guilt, separated by the holiness of G-d, and dead in our sins. The Law through the commandment would continue to bear witness against us that we have violated the Law by breaking the commandment through the sin committed, and there would be nothing to remove this guilt from us. We would be without an Advocate with the Father.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. (Galatians 4:4-7) We were slaves to sin and were guilty before G-d, but now in Messiah we have been made righteous with the righteousness of G-d, granted to us who are undeserving, and yet made deserving through the blood of the New Covenant G-d has made with His people. Just as the Scripture describes this magnificent work of G-d in Messiah, through whom He has reconciled the world to Himself, just as He created it through Him and for Him.

But G-d commended His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us, (Romans 5:8), and having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, and which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross, (Colossians 2:14) We are forgiven because of Jesus, not because of ourselves. No man can save himself by himself, but he can obtain salvation by G-d through that which G-d has provided on his behalf – Jesus, “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!” (John 1:29)

There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Messiah Jesus, for the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did; sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (Romans 8:1-4) He made Him who knew no sin, to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2Corinthians 5:21) Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Messiah, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Messiah reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. (2Corinthians 5:18-19) We are forgiven by G-d and reconciled to Him because of what He did through Jesus the Messiah, not because of anything we did. He has done it all. All we have done is admit our guilt and surrender to His mercy in Messiah.

So having been forgiven by G-d through Messiah, cleansed by His blood; the price of our redemption paid in full by the Lord Jesus, we are resurrected in our spirits to a new life – a new reality - awakened from our death sleep of sin and corruption; for though we were alive, we were dead in our sins without G-d in the world – but now we have been made alive again through a new birth to this new life by the power of that life which death could not keep in its clutches – the life of G-d – we are now joint heirs with Jesus of the glory of G-d’s wonderful realm, being made partakers of that secret unseen kingdom (all around us), even as we live in this life, as living letters as testimonies of the faithfulness and truth of G-d’s limitless love – His eternal grace. No one is beyond the reach of G-d’s love, and because of the reality that our salvation, our redemption, and the penalty for our guilt has been paid in full by the Lord Jesus, we know what it means when the Scripture declares with great boldness:

Salvation is FROM the Lord, (Jonah 2:9) It is not from us, nor do we possess the power of it or for it; it is exclusively G-d’s. This is why the Scripture also says, Salvation BELONGS to the Lord. (Psalm 3:8) Salvation begins and ends with G-d. It is not in the power of man to redeem himself, but it is in G-d’s power through the redemption He has provided, the forgiveness He offers, and the salvation He freely gives to all who come to Him through His lamb of sacrifice; His Son. If not for the lamb, and His shed blood, our sins would remain, and our guilt would follow us to the grave, and we would be separated forever from the Presence of G-d; but G-d has provided the Lamb for the sacrifice, and because of this, we are saved, having been reconciled to the Eternal Father by the Eternal Son, Who has given us the Eternal Spirit as His Pledge of this redemption (2Corinthians 5:5) – G-d in us, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27). So it says in the Scripture, therefore if any man is in Messiah, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold new things have come. (2Corinthians 5:17) And Peter bears witness of this in describing it so beautifully and fully in the following Scripture:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Messiah, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God though faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (1Peter 1:3-5)

To sum it all up, we can’t save ourselves, but we know who can save us, and has, and the evidence of this salvation is this new life which we share; a common faith in One G-d, being of One Spirit, One Lord, One Savior, through whom we also have this magnificent salvation which we share. This is G-d’s unmerited favor; this is His grace. Praise be to G-d!

THE ANCHOR OF OUR SOUL AND LIVING HOPE OF HIS EVER PRESENT HELP

I came across this writing, which I wrote some time ago, though I cannot remember when; that is very different from what I have written lately, and is a well deserved departure from my usual fare. I hope that you will be blessed by it when you read it, and take with you a different perspective of why things are the way they appear to be, and the secret to triumph over the hard times and difficult seasons of your lives. Enjoy and be blessed.

Last night, the Lord made something real to me that I had known before, but the Spirit of God opened the eyes of my understanding in making me realize just how good God has been with us; with us all.
As we were driving back from Arthur's, and I looked about us; the beautiful Manhattan skyline, the lights from the city, and the moon shining on the Hudson, the beauty of the evening; and taking it all in--appreciating the moment---it all came to me; we are most blessed and fortunate to be living in the greatest nation ever to exist, at such a time as this, in such a place as this.
And as we continued to drive up River Road, it became increasingly apparent to me just how much the Lord has blessed us, and in so many ways, even during hard times.

We could have been born, as are many people in utter hopeless destitution, in a war-torn, or war ravaged nation such as Afghanistan, or the Balkans, or the Middle East.
We could be fodder to the cannon of ethnic cleansing and reprisals so prevalent in many parts of the world today, from Africa to the Balkans, from the Far East to parts of Latin America.
We could have been born in much dire situations and circumstances.
And the Lord has placed us here of all places, in this time of all times.
We could have been born in any other country, or under any other circumstances, or during history's worst periods.
Here in the United States, we could have been born during the Civil War, or during the period of the War of Independence, or even during the Great Depression.

And though many of us have come from lands ravaged by revolution and tyranny (present writer excluded-I was born in the US), or have relatives who also came from those lands to live in this, the greatest nation on the face of the earth; I couldn't but be absolutely thankful for the things God has given us.
It is all His, you know; given to us for our enjoyment and His glorification.
We are simply borrowers for the seasons of our lives as we live through them.
But, God has been immensely good to us.

No matter the current circumstances, this too shall pass, this is only the present, and I will make things change as God makes them happen.
As I do this, He will work behind the scenes, in the areas which you and I cannot see; the hidden areas, and this same wonderful creative power that called into existence that which did not exist before; this same Word of His power is going to shake Heaven and earth to accomplish His will for us.
And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN."
And this expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things (the current circumstances, or whatever situation we may find ourselves in ever at the moment--whether now, or at any time), in order that those things which cannot be shaken may remain (our faith, our hope, our love--the foundation of our very being, being defined in who we are relative to Messiah, who Messiah is relative to us, and how this defines us with regards to everything and everyone else).
Nothing can or will thwart the will of God; and God knows what is best for us; for you and for me; for you and me; for both of us; for us and the kids; for all of us.

As we move ahead, the Lord will fulfill His good promises by supplying His provision to us.
God will restore to us the joy of His salvation; He will renew our hearts; cause us to run and not grow weary; and most important of all; cleanse us of our unrighteousness.
He does it because He loves us.
He doesn't have to love us; He simply does.
Because to Him, we are of most importance; nothing is more important to God than you and me; than us; all of us; nothing.
This is why the Psalmist shouts:
"LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD!"
This is why Paul the Apostle writes:
But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

But in every circumstance God remains true to His promise when He's said:
"Let not you heart be troubled,; you believe in God, believe also in Me."
"Do not be afraid..
"You did not choose Me, but I choose you; and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name (the Name of the Messiah: Yeshua/Jesus), He may give it to you."
And when He's said:
"I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you."
He's meant what He's said. God doesn't mince words, but means every word that He says. Just as when Christ said:
"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
"And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of this age."

And though the circumstances of our lives change daily, the Word of God does not. Remember He's said:
THE GRASS WITHERS, THE FLOWER FADES, BUT THE WORD OF OUR GOD STANDS FOREVER.
He's telling us that wherever we are, whatever the circumstances of our lives, GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.
That means now, the present, not some distant tomorrow.
He is there all of the time; in good times and in bad; He is there A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.
So that when times become difficult, remember what the Apostle Peter has written for us:
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of [the] Messiah, keep on rejoicing; so that also at the revelation of His glory, you (that means us) may rejoice with exultation.
Remember that the kingdom of God does not consist of words, but in power.

We are not being punished, for Messiah, the Son of God has taken the punishment for us.
Things happen as a result of what we do, not because of some punishment, but through our circumstances He chastises--that is, teaches us through the circumstance.
For the scripture is implicit when it says:
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in [the] Messiah Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
And when you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which were hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to a cross.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Messiah Jesus our Lord.

And where is God now, but in us; in all who call upon His name; in those, that means us, whom have called upon the name of the Lord Jesus, the Hope of our salvation and the glory of Israel.
And if [the] Messiah is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised [the] Messiah Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
We have this liberty in this time, and in this life in the Messiah; there is no room for confusion when we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose, for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the congregations of the saints.
There is no confusion, but a sense of purpose in what must be accomplished, and knowing that God is walking before us as we move ahead.
With confidence, we will overcome.
With God's help we will do what must be done.
And with God's direction, our walk will lead us to our destiny.
In this I am certain, make no mistake about it.
Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land God promised, wandering from place to place, living in faith of the promise which the Lord had made to him and to his seed that the land he journeyed to and lived as a stranger in would be his and his descendants, and we live our lives discovering and learning as foreigners and strangers in this world; until we are called home to be with our Lord and Savior the Messiah Yeshua/Jesus, the Lord of Glory.
He is aware of our travels in life, and every tear we’ve shed He has preserved, and put away in His bottle, having written everything in His book of Remembrance.
Unmistakably He is for us, therefore He is our trust.
As it says:
THOU HAST TAKEN ACCOUNT OF MY WANDERINGS;
PUT MY TEARS IN THY BOTTLE;
ARE THEY NOT IN THY BOOK?
THEN MY ENEMIES WILL TURN BACK IN THE DAY WHEN I CALL;
THIS I KNOW, THAT GOD IS FOR ME.
IN GOD, WHOSE WORD I PRAISE,
IN GOD I HAVE PUT MY TRUST, I SHALL NOT BE AFRAID,
WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME?
HOW BLESSED IS HE WHOSE HELP IS THE GOD OF JACOB;
WHOSE HOPE IS IN THE LORD HIS GOD; WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH,
THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS THEM;
WHO KEEPS FAITH FOREVER;
WHO EXECUTES JUSTICE FOR THE OPRESSED;
WHO GIVES FOOD TO THE HUNGRY.
THE LORD SETS THE PRISONERS FREE.
Don’t’ quit on God’s will when adversity strikes and all seems to be against you..
Do not let the enemy have his way just because things are difficult.
Israel is God’s chosen people, yet it has known adversity from time immemorial, even to this very day. God has kept Himself faithful to His people for thousands of years, and because of His faithfulness, they have survived thousands of attempts at their destruction by nations and people who are nothing but history and archeological digs.
Indeed, every servant of God has known adversity and has suffered greatly for the Name of the Lord Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah; and the knowledge of this – His faithfulness – is what makes us special that we can think of ourselves as enduring above what other human beings are forced to endure, who live in this world without God (those who do not know Him); without the realization that the knowledge of Him and that He is, and most of all, is for us; provides the certainty and hope that anchors our soul!
Every man and every woman has a secret place; bring God into yours, and see for yourself the difference that this will make it.

OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS A FORGERY, SO SAYS FORENSIC EXPERT

It is alleged by a leading forensic expert in certificates of live birth - birth certificates, certifications, and other documents of major importance that what the Obama Administration put up on their website earlier in the year when Donald Trump claimed that "his people were on to some very interesting details about Obama's "certification" and he was going to release it to the public. But Trump never did. And Obama released what he called a "certification," mind the wording, carefully chosen by Obama and his legal team. He and they are not claiming that what he has released to the public is his birth certificate, or certificate of live birth, but a long form certification, thus releasing himself and his legal team from any lawsuits that might seek to indict him and his legal team and those involved in allegedly forging his certification, since he and his legal team have not made any claim of providing a birth certificate, or certificate of live birth, but a long form certification, and a bad forgery at that, according to some experts.
This is what one expert said pertaining to this incredible discovery:
"Obama Birth Certificate

The White House's release of an electronic copy of Obama's long-form birth certificate instead of a certified paper copy raises questions in a 22-page criminal complaint with the FBI filed by an international expert in scanners and document-imaging software.

Doug Vogt's complaint charges that individuals within the Hawaii Department of Health, Obama political operatives and an unidentified graphic artist worked in a multi-state conspiracy to create a fraudulent long-form birth certificate for Barack Obama.

Vogt's complaint asserts: "I have irrefutably proven that the Certificate of Live Birth that President Obama presented to the world on April 27, 2011, is a fraudulently created document put together using the Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator programs." (Jerome R. Corsi)

If this is true, then the man who occupies the White House and won the 2008 presidential elections, is nothing but a fraud, and a liar, and should be immediately impeached, and removed from office by congress for being in contempt of the US Constitution and its articles stipulating that only one who is the son of native born Americans, himself born in this nation or in one of its territories is eligible to be elected to the office of president.

LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE SOCIALISTS IN THE MEDIA CARRY OBAMA'S WATER & DISPENSE HIS KOOLAID TO AN UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC

Time and time again I hear on the radio callers, usually liberal Democrats and Independents who are calling into the various talk radio programs throughout the day, lambast one single cable news channel; Fox News. Often the charges made are to call it biased against Democrats and in favor of Republicans; presumably from liberals and Democrats calling in. An amazing phenomenon however, is to hear journalists and reporters on the other competing news channels – what I call the alphabet soup media – make the exact same charges as well, often seeming as though they were taking their cue from the same playbook, and often it is.

In all of my years I have never seen any news organization criticize another of bias or partisanship. There was a time when such a thing was looked askance because it betrayed by its very charge a partisan charge from a different direction, in other words, whoever made such a charge against another betrayed their own bias and partisan leanings, so it wasn’t done. It was bad taste, and it showed a lack of class and professionalism. It is astonishing how the standards degraded in recent years. Today, all of the broadcast and cable news channel without exception charge a single cable news channel with being biased; Fox News.

There’s something very wrong with this picture don’t you think? A type of horde mentality so pervasive that those suffering it do not realize that they are giving themselves away as nothing but the very thing they as a group, as a mob charge the other single channel with; bias and partisanship. About twenty years ago, they were not as direct or as brazen as they are today. They were careful not to appear to be partisan, but one could tell from the way they reported the news, that they were, only there was the pretence of objectivity. Today it is quite different. The pretense of objectivity has been tossed in the wind and exchanged with a type of civil savagery where the attack on the other party is personal, and downright nasty. With the exception of Fox News, the organs of the mass media have become nothing more than the propaganda mouthpieces of the Obama Administration. But, let’s examine the charges of partisanship leveled at Fox by these others.

Now to call Fox News partisan, as CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN do quite often, because it reports news stories that the alphabet soup channels these other channels spike (selectively censor by not reporting) does not make Fox News partisan. A charge of partisanship from any group or person/s with specific and particular ideological predispositions in itself is evidence that it is only a charge not necessarily predicated in reality. It is an opinion, a charged one at that, from a source (or sources) with a specific ideology who claim partisanship from Fox because Fox is the only news outlet that reports outside of the stories and topics covered by the alphabet soup media, because it reports them in many cases in a manner that is at variance with their opinions. This is not partisanship, it is journalism. If it were, then the charge would hold equally, if not; more true of the alphabet soup channels whose editorial boards decide what stories to report or not report and how they will report them, while couching their opinionated editorials and passing them off to the public as news reports.

If anything, this is evidence that Fox is not partisan, because there is something intrinsically wrong when ABC, NBC, CBC, CNBC, MSNBC and CNN spike the same stories, and report almost verbatim the same line and in the same manner, and the same way, the issues and topics on our front pages which only those news outlets choose to report.

The true sign of a free press is diversity in reporting, and I have not seen this with regards to these news outlets, whereas Fox is a refreshing departure from these. It takes courage to stand out from the usual pack and talking heads, and Fox does that in spades. (See the article at the following link about how the media covered for the contradictory reports released by the Obama Administration following the mission which successfully killed Osama bin Laden: Obama, Osama and a Love Struck Media)

“An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminate the impossible; whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. …….All things being equal, Mr. Scott, I would agree; however, all things are not equal.”

Leonard Nimoy in the role of Mr. Spock in Star Trek IV: the Undiscovered Country, Paramount Pictures.

While it may be claimed by people of a particular political bent and ideology that these news outlets are “objective,” and charge Fox with not being objective because it reports news stories these do not and does not tout the usual media mantra these channels all spew and pass off as news, though it may appear to those people of such ideological bent that Fox’s choice to run stories the other outlets do not, as impossible as it may seem to these people, the illumination of what they deem what appears to them as a factual impossibility – that Fox is neutral and objective – “fair and balanced,” as Fox is wont to advertise; might in fact be true and therefore the truth, and their biased opinion based upon their flawed premise, an error of judgment on their part in charging Fox News with bias and the alphabet soup channels with objectivity.

Thus, when illuminating the facts, which to these people appear to be impossible, effectively erases even the smallest hint of the improbability of Fox’s objectivity in the face of such evidence being illuminated, and the facts brought out.

Even more evidence of media bias is how all of the broadcast alphabet soup channels have decided to spike the story of Van Jones and his Communist and radical ties, associations, and activities, including public statements which corroborate these. As Wikipedia the On Line Encyclopedia puts it:

The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists was released in May 2010.[25] In the book, (per the New York Times blurb), "President Obama's life and campaigns are sifted for Communist and socialist ties."[26] The book spent several weeks on the Times' bestseller list for hardcover nonfiction and appeared on other prominent bestseller charts, including those of Publishers Weekly and the Washington Post.[27] [4] [5] Some journalists, including from publications such as Time and Newsweek, sent emails to the author's publicist saying they did not want to receive a review copy of Klein's book.[28][29] [30]

It’s one thing to read a book and only after examining what it has to say, to either agree or disagree with it when critiquing it, it’s quite another when one simply censors oneself from even a minor glance of the material simply on the basis that he/she disagrees with what it has to say. As Goethe whom I quote in all of my e-mails under my signature puts it, “There is nothing more frightening than active ignorance.” I would put it this way, “There is nothing more dangerous than willful ignorance in the face of facts.” I can disagree or agree with an opinion only after I have had time to examine all of its angles. To do any less is intellectually dishonest and dishonorable. It is to deny intelligence access to data. And this is how Time and Newsweek, two publications that are strongly favorably biased with Obama and have for decades promoted hard left positions; have chosen to deal with Aaron Klein’s book, The Manchurian Candidate.” Herein is another example of outright media bias to the Obama pattern of doing this, and it is very well explained by Washington correspondent Bill Koenig in the following manner:
Obama's pattern of behavior enabled by big media
Obama uses his visual props, whether it is his wife and adorable little girls, or his calm demeanor, while his associates are behind the scenes acting like termites chewing away at the foundation of our Constitution.
A majority of the American media — ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post — do his bidding and assist him. Moreover, they never vetted him as a presidential candidate as they did John McCain — and as they are aggressively doing with the 2012 Republican presidential candidates.
He also receives a lot of help from the pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-oil-and-gas, deficit-spending Democrats.
Obama and his czars have a pattern of behavior. He or they stir up things which lead to major divisions. Then he acts like he is the adult in the room and has his adversaries come to the White House with his pro-Obama media coverage — putting things in the best possible light for him — and then he comes forward with the solution as if it is his doing.
On another issue, he began promoting his LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) agenda the day he took office. He pushed the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) in the U.S. military. He brought his gay crusader friends into key positions in the government — in the courts.
He and his attorney general refuse to defend the "Defense of Marriage Act" (DOMA) at the same he is pushing the gay agenda at the United Nations. He takes much pride in his annual declaration of LGBT Pride Month in June (Obama 2011 LGBT declaration).
No one has done more for the gay agenda in the United States and throughout the world than Barack Hussein Obama. And the secular liberal media has been there for him.
He spoke to the world on his position on the 1967 borders in Israel, then spoke to Jewish supporters while the world only heard about his main statements and analysis. The damage was done.
He has also used this strategy with the federal takeover of national health care.
Need I say more? This media is carrying Obama’s water for him, and has been since before he took office. From the moment he became a candidate for president two and a half years ago until the present, the organs of the mass media have been nothing more than an extension of his propaganda machine. It goes into great lengths to present all that he does, all that he says, and the disastrous results of these in the best possible light. In all the years that I’ve lived, I’ve never seen a more flagrant and calculated bias by the mass media than how it treats Barack Hussein Obama and his policies, and their results. And worst still is that they do this openly and without the slightest hint of any attempt to play “fair and balanced” or “objective and detached,” instead they now have tossed aside all pretense of objectivity and are themselves spokespersons of Obama’s in their reporting.

During the crisis in Egypt, Libya and the Middle East, Obama went on vacation to Brazil at tax payer’s expense (as they do with every trip) with his family and an entourage of key executives of various industries who form part of his campaign war chest, and while there, he and his group met with key industry and government leaders of Brazil’s petro-chemical industry known as Petrobas. While Obama and his Energy Department placed a moratorium on offshore drilling and exploration by American oil companies off of our shores, he gave Petrobas a billion tax payer dollars for it to do precisely what he and his administration are keeping our companies from doing – explore for oil, drill and extract oil from the ocean’s bottom in the Gulf of Mexico, ANWR, Alaska, the US’s west coast, and the US’s east coast. You would think that the press would at the very least report this; well, they didn’t. Talk radio show host Michael Savage of the Savage Nation has provided a list of those who travelled with President Obama to Brazil. The mass media wouldn’t even do that.

But, the scandal isn’t just that Obama and his regime – as talk radio host Rush Limbaugh prefers to call this government – energy policy is to keep American companies from exploring and exploiting our oil off of our shores by enforcing a moratorium on drilling and exploration, and refining; he promotes with American tax money the same exploration by another country. He adds insult to injury by being selective as to what companies and corporations get federal money – only those who support his campaign and the campaigns of other Democrats – and is now openly advocating a law that will require all companies competing for contracts from the federal and state governments to fill out a form that details their political affiliations and contributions before they are allowed to vie for those contracts with their competitors, and the Obama Administration reserves the right under this law to choose what companies get the federal contracts and moneys along with them. This is nothing more than bold, corrupt in your face crooneyism of the worst type, and no sitting president has ever had the temerity to attempt anything like this on the American electorate and the industry that employs it. You would think the media would be all over this. Not a peep. Not one story. Not even a passing mention, and the implications if such a law should pass congress.

I have never seen anything like this here in this country. The closest example of how the media treats Obama and his administration is how the media was controlled, manipulated, used to do Hitler’s bidding during his reign of terror in Germany, and the Stalinist propaganda machine in the old Soviet Union during the early part of the 20th century. But where the press and organs of the mass media were controlled and part of the Fascist government of Hitler and the Communist government of Stalin, the press in America is supposed to be free and independent of Obama’s government, and presumably it is. What makes the media’s behavior and pattern of reporting this administration’s policy initiatives and public statements more onerous is that it is doing it voluntarily, that is, the government is not forcing to report the way it has and is, it is simply doing it out of its own volition. This is unprecedented in the history of American journalism. The closest the media ever came to this was during the so-called Camelot Years of the Kennedy Administration, but even during those troubled and halcyon years, some elements of the mass media did report the news objectively. This press is not. And it is openly conducting itself in this manner freely and without any outside pressure by Obama or any element his government not to.

But there is evidence however that for any in the media to do otherwise can prove to make them a Pariah with others in the news media and especially with this White House. We can cite the example of the Texas journalist who interviewed Obama and “had the nerve” (more like the courage I think) to ask Obama how he felt about visiting a state that rejected his policies, and the time recently during a fundraiser of radicals for radicals, where a group of radicals held a protest of sorts during a speech Obama gave in San Francisco, and a reporter there actually videotaped the incident on her iphone and later reported on it. There are many more, but what is interesting is not the occasional reporter who goes “off topic” and steers away from the media bandwagon by asking an embarrassing question of the president, or actually reporting honestly; what is very interesting is how this White House and this president reacts to it. I’ve never seen anything like it; it’s like a spoiled child being given all that he wants suddenly discovering that he can’t have something and pouncing on the offending party who is keeping him from getting it. This is the Obama Administration and Barack Hussein Obama. If anyone in the media gets out of line, or out of the usual media mantra of praises and platitudes in their reporting, the Obama thought police of usual administration officials are there to “correct” the matter and slap the offending party publicly for have the nerve to do what he/she did. Have you ever seen anything like this before in this country? Perhaps to one extent or another at the state and especially local levels, where politicians wield a lot of power and have their hands practically in everything, especially in cities like Chicago, where corruption goes back to the 1920s, but never on a national level, and never as pervasive as this.

We can go on and on, but there is not a person reading this who does not in one way or another agree that they have never seen anything like this administration and the shenanigans and goings on as evident as the one in this White House. Barack Obama and the people he brought with him into his administration from Chicago, are the most blatantly partisan, divisive, and corrosive elements within the body politic of this country. Since the days they decided to run the campaign for the White House with Soros money and money from rich Arab and European financiers overseas (to this day, Obama has not come clean about how and from where he raised over nine hundred million dollars in campaign cash. Obama claims to be a man of the people, and throughout his career and even now, continues to play the class warfare of rich versus poor mantra, but even with the obscene amount of money his campaign raised to get him to the White House in 08’, not one penny of any of the money left over from this campaign has gone to help the very people who elected him president. Like all other socialists, Obama is very comfortable spending other people’s money as long as he doesn’t have to spend his own. He’ll tax you to death to pay for the poor, but he won’t cough up any of his wealth in this regard. History teaches US that the proponents of class warfare are not know for their own generosity, they’re just generous with other people’s money but their own.

There was a time during the Carter Years, when it seemed like America was in decline, and it was, but never did anyone who lived through the double dip recession, hyper-inflated era of Jimmy Carter and survived it, dreamt that the nation could decline so precipitously as it has the last two and a half years, but here we are. If America falls it will be by our own hand, for out of our own people have arisen many who do not share in the vision and best traditions that made this nation great, and it is their hour now. With the election of many TEA Party candidates in 2010, we saw a brief respite from the onslaught of injustice legislative, judicial, and presidential injustice that we saw with the last congress presided over by Nancy Pelosi and the Harry Reid senate which still bedevils US. But, Obama is still president, and the hosts who support him are as the ancient Assyrians in number and in strength, and as the ancient Assyrians were the destroyer of nations, so are the modern horde of globalists, leftists, Marxists, socialists, and the great number ignorant masses held sway by the elites in Washington in the media, in the entertainment world, and in academia.

Now in conclusion, I would like to posit a very sobering and troubling thought. America is not mentioned in prophecy. This leaves US with great cause to be concerned. But be that as it may, those who have placed their faith and trust in the Almighty have never been disappointed. Regardless of what has occurred in the past, and what will occur in the future, every empire that existed in the ancient world is no more, yet one people have survived through every upheaval and catastrophe that has befallen man; the Jewish people. There is a very good reason for this, and it is the faithfulness of Almighty G-d. Even with repeated persecutions, expulsions, pogroms, and every other invention of man to destroy them; from Pharaoh to Haman, to Caesar, to popes, to Hitler, to Stalin; the Jewish people thrive to this day and ever shall because their G-d is the Lord, and anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be delivered. Make no mistake about it, those who place their trust in G-d find rest, and while every ancient empire and nation that has existed have all disappeared in the dust heap of history and have become just traces of dusty archeological artifacts, nothing more; the children of Israel – the Jewish people remain, and the dry bones of Israel have arisen after two thousand years and taken on new life, and are because of the faithfulness of Almighty G-d. You want to make it through this tumultuous time? Place your heart and trust in G-d and ask for His help and strength. He will be there to give it to you, and much more, more than you’ll know.

THE LORD IS EXALTED, FOR HE DWELLS ON HIGH;
HE HAS FILLED ZION WITH JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
AND HE SHALL BE THE STABILITY OF YOUR TIMES,
A WEALTH OF SALVATION, WISDOM, AND KNOWLEDGE;
THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS HIS TREASURE.

Isaiah 33:5-6

AN ENERGY POLICY THAT WILL DESTROY US

Since taking office on January 20th, 2009, Barack Hussein Obama has put into place the most destructive public policies in this nation’s history all in the name of social justice and the common good. Everything that he has done has had disastrous results on whatever industry his policy has taken its aim at in addressing the “social ills” and “injustices” and “inequities” in those industries. Of course, he and those allied politically with him, be it the Democratic Party, or the alphabet soup media of CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, academia, or even the entertainment industry and all of its interests in the political realm; will all tell you that it has all worked, perhaps not as well as they expected, but that it had Obama and they not supported these policies, our nation would now be in a much worse condition than it is. Baloney.

It is because of these public policies that our nation is now suffering the worse Recession (Depression) in modern times, and has gone from a cyclical recession – one of several that occur every seven to ten years – into an abnormally deep Hyper Recession/Great Great Depression of untold magnitude. Is this hyperbole? No. When the Great Depression hit, the United States did not have a looming and ever growing fourteen trillion dollar debt to consider; it did not have an even greater interest payment on that debt that it has now; its industries did not face the overburdening regulations that it faces now, nor did its businesses and people face the high taxation of its income and wealth as they do now; nor did they face a president, congress, senate, and court system so riddled with committed ideologues whose policies and agendas are proving to be its undoing. During the Great Depression jobs were not going overseas, as they have done in this one.

There were key industries during and following the Great Depression that do not exist today. The steel industry is one, and American manufacturing has all but disappeared and gone overseas, thanks to our politicians and their environmentalist allies. These industries employed tens of millions of Americans. Even our technology sector is not hiring, but outsourcing to cheap labor from India and Pakistan, in some cases they’re even relocating teams of these “professionals” to the United States rather than hire Americans here. Their excuse? There are not enough competent and well trained engineers and technicians here to fill these posts. This what you hear some of the recruiters say whom have been bringing these people over. But go tell that to the unemployed engineer or IT professional desperate to be hired and contribute their expertise in an industry that has all but ignored them. This was not seen during the Great Depression. American companies hired Americans. They did not import foreigners to do work here.

Since 2008 we have lost more than eight million jobs, and they will never come back; most of these during President Obama’s almost three years in office, although the media and the White House are now is now putting the figure at one million. Do you really believe them? Since Obama has taken office, the nation has seen more job loss than those created by private industry, and the amount of jobs created by the government has ballooned since that time. And yet, even with public sector job creation, the combined public and private sector jobs existing are eclipsed by the amount of jobs lost. This also was not faced by the people of this nation during the Great Depression.

What’s more, public sector jobs are not considered true employment when factoring job numbers because for every public sector job there needs to be at least eight people working to pay the taxes on that single public sector job through their taxes. The money for public sector jobs has to come from somewhere, and it does, it comes from every American working in the private sector. One would think that all of these policy errors made by this administration were indeed that, but there is something more ominous at play here, and it is the intentions of those who are putting them in place.

Take for example Obama’s energy policy, if you can call it that. Do you want to know what Obama’s real intention for the coal industry is? What he really wants to do with regards to energy? Well read what he told the San Francisco Chronicle in an interview conducted on January 17th, 2008:
“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.”

And:

“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them.”

Do you really think that someone with such extreme points of view regarding public policies he wishes to impose on key industries as America’s official policy for energy should have ever been trusted to the highest office in the land? Do you believe you can still vote for someone like this, who is committed to carry it out and has already taken steps to do so? If anyone has any doubts that this man is trying to destroy key industries in the United States and bring the nation to its knees, then all they need to do is to listen to his own words and judge for themselves. Here is the link to the audio interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdi4onAQBWQ

What is Cap and Trade all about? It is a destructive policy built upon a flawed premise which is the greatest hoax in modern times, invented as a means to redistribute the wealth of this nation and the industrialized nations through this tax, and redistribute it through a global agency such as the United Nations to Third World countries where the wealth will then go to the leaders of those countries for them to use as they see fit, which is another way of foreign aid via Cap and Trade to corrupt regimes which do not and have not helped their impoverished people for decades. Cap and Trade is built upon the premise of Global Warming and Climate Change, and it is promoted by corrupt globalist politicians in our government, companies such as Exxon-Mobile, GE, and others who contribute handsomely to politicians such as President Obama, Newt Gingrich, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and others across both political parties who are bought and paid for members of the global Eastern Liberal Establishment who promote these schemes in order to destroy the national sovereignty of this nation with such ideas as GATT, NAFTA, WTO, and other policies which have destroyed jobs here, and moved them overseas.

I recently wrote the following:

In all fairness, Obama cannot be blamed for all of the nation’s woes and problems, but what he must take responsibility for, and must “man up to” if indeed he is a leader, after three years as the nation’s Chief Executive; is the exacerbation of those problems and woes, and the creation of new and more dangerous ones under his watch.

When after three months (90 days) a new hire shows that he or she is not up to the task and responsibilities of the job he was hired for, he or she is summarily dismissed or fired from that job and a replacement is sought to fill the post who can and will meet those responsibilities. Barack Hussein Obama, who without any prior experience in business, or never having held any executive position, but having in his resume only his role as local and state community organizer (A Saul Alinsky euphemism for Communist Agitator and revolutionary) who with barely having begun four months as a junior senator of the state of Illinois, representing one of its poorest and most corrupt districts, decided to run for the highest, most sensitive, and most strategically important office of government in the land – indeed in the world; has made it abundantly clear that he is not up to the responsibilities and tasks that the office of the presidency demands of him, and he must be summarily fired by the American electorate next year, and replaced with someone who is qualified both for the task of Commander in Chief of the armed forces and Chief Executive of these United States.

Barack Hussein Obama must be a one term president… Barack Hussein Obama must be sent back to Illinois and retired from ever holding any public office again… in short, Barack Hussein Obama must go, but most importantly than all; Barack Hussein Obama’s policies must be reversed as soon as possible before they do any more damage to this nation.

In another article, I made the following observation pertaining to Obama's energy policy:

During the crisis in Egypt, Libya and the Middle East, Obama went on vacation to Brazil at tax payer’s expense (as they do with every trip) with his family and an entourage of key executives of various industries who form part of his campaign war chest, and while there, he and his group met with key industry and government leaders of Brazil’s petro-chemical industry known as Petrobas.

While Obama and his Energy Department placed a moratorium on offshore drilling and exploration by American oil companies off of our shores, he gave Petrobas a billion tax payer dollars for it to do precisely what he and his administration are keeping our companies from doing – explore for oil, drill and extract oil from the ocean’s bottom in the Gulf of Mexico, ANWR, Alaska, the US’s west coast, and the US’s east coast. You would think that the press would at the very least report this; well, they didn’t. Talk radio show host Michael Savage of the Savage Nation has provided a list of those who travelled with President Obama to Brazil. The mass media wouldn’t even do that.

But, the scandal isn’t just that Obama and his regime – as talk radio host Rush Limbaugh prefers to call this government – energy policy is to keep American companies from exploring and exploiting our oil off of our shores by enforcing a moratorium on drilling and exploration, and refining; he promotes with American tax money the same exploration by another country. He adds insult to injury by being selective as to what companies and corporations get federal money – only those who support his campaign and the campaigns of other Democrats – and is now openly advocating a law that will require all companies competing for contracts from the federal and state governments to fill out a form that details their political affiliations and contributions before they are allowed to vie for those contracts with their competitors, and the Obama Administration reserves the right under this law to choose what companies get the federal contracts and moneys along with them.

This is nothing more than bold, corrupt in your face crooneyism of the worst type, and no sitting president has ever had the temerity to attempt anything like this on the American electorate and the industry that employs it. You would think the media would be all over this. Not a peep. Not one story. Not even a passing mention, and the implications if such a law should pass congress.

Ladies and gentleman, we are witnessing the greatest and most organized efforts by our own leaders in Washington in destroying our way of life by reducing our standard of living as they seek to impoverish American small and medium size businesses (which are the greatest job creators in the country) by imposing on them restrictive and costly regulations, high taxation of all sorts, costly medical regulations and requirements as Obamacare begins to imposed on them, and impossible to meet moratoriums that prevent them from growing, exploring, refining, building; so that the end result will be precisely what Barack Obama said in his San Francisco Chronicle interview he gave on January 17th, 2008 was his intention. Need I say more? This man and the people who put him in the White House, who now wish to bring him back for another four years; must be stopped dead in their tracks or we will lose everything we have and lose our nation.

WEINER'S SCHMECKEL

Congressman Anthony Weiner lacks integrity, has made it quite evident that he lacks good judgment by sexting with six women while married, and it has just recently been disclosed that he has sent nude photos of himself which some websites are now flashing on their pages. He lacks self respect, and because he lacks self-respect and has a poor self-image, he has taken to the web to expose himself in order to promote himself in the most obscene and lude manner. He has betrayed the trust of the people who elected him to represent them, opened himself to blackmail, ridicule, and scorn, and has broken his marriage vows and oath of office by his degenerate behavior.

If he had any self respect, any sense of decency, or an ounce of integrity left in him, and any respect for the office of congressman for the Congressional 9th District of New York, he would resign his post and never seek public office again. Anyone in the military caught doing what he did, would face a Court Marshall and would be drummed out of the service in disgrace with a Dishonorable Discharge. Anthony Weiner should learn to live up to the laws against sexual harassment he helped pass which were drafted to prevent such behavior from happening in the work place; laws which require immediate dismissal, and or resignation by the offending party, i.e., Weiner.

Several Democrats have called for Weiner to step down, but he has said that he will not. Who does this man think he is? Does he really believe that he is above the law? Is he that emotionally and mentally impaired? Is he not aware of what he has done, and the shame and disrepute he has brought upon himself and his name, not to mention to the office which he currently holds?

If some of the public reaction which I heard on the radio yesterday, and especially from talk radio hosts such as Imus, a man who is well liked by some conservatives, but who does not have a conservative ounce in him; any indication of where pop culture is headed, you can hear the trend on the radio and in television; then I am very concerned for our nation. One woman calling Sean Hannity excused this man’s behavior as something we should learn to expect and accept from our public officials, because in her words, “They all do it,” well; the fact is, they do not all “do it,” and no, we do not and should never expect this type of degeneracy and deviance from our public officials. If we discipline our service personnel, our police forces, our firemen, and others, including those in the workforce in private industry for much less, then why should we allow this kind of degeneracy from a congressman? This woman’s reaction and opinion is emblematic of half of Congressman Wiener’s community, which does not necessarily as some would think comprise mostly Jewish voters, but voters of other ethnic groups, though it is primarily white (65.9%), with some black (12.1%), and Hispanic (15.1%) voters, almost a quarter of which are 18 years of age. The median income of those living and voting in the 9th congressional district is $52,175.00, which is middle class. But almost half of this group excuses this behavior and support the embattled and disgraced congressman. Amazing, and what a double standard.

These people actually condone this outrageous behavior, make excuses for it, and justify their moral relativism with clever arguments of why a public servant’s private life ought to remain private – one of their favorite excuses, yet in the workplace such behavior would bring immediate dismissal and in some cases prosecution, and rightly so, established by laws which Congressman Weiner and others voted to enact as law. There was a time in this country when this type of behavior would have finished a politician’s career and he’d never be heard from again. But, another disgraced congressman, Charles Wrangle, Democrat of New York’s 15th congressional district, was found guilty of embezzlement, of tax evasion, and racketeering, yet his constituency reelected him in the last elections, and he continues to serve in the powerful Ways and Means Committee; a committee which has the purse strings over what congress does and does not spend. Amazing.

But, what we are witnessing here is the result of the moral relativism that has overtaken a great part of our nation and society, where greed and avarice are good and family values and traditional Judeo-Christian values are questioned, and even challenged by pop culture. This is the trend and the public figures caught in all sorts of scandals and criminal activities, while a complacent and partisan amoral media looks the other way. Oh yes, they’ll report some congressman’s indiscretions from time to time, but after they have done so, they will concoct all sorts of excuses for it, or as it has done with Weinergate; they’ll savage the original report which disclosed the congressman’s immoral extra-marital activities on Twitter, and his harassment of these six women. Sexting is now an acceptable form of communication for these journalists, so long as it’s Anthony Weiner doing it and not some “conservative.” Were it to be a conservative, they’d be all over the story. They only report it reluctantly because it is news, and news brings ratings, which brings money, which is revenue, much needed cash into their coffers in this depression called a recovery.

Look at how the media is handling Sarah Palin’s e-mails. Since when has the New York Times or any other organ of the mass media poured over thousands of any public official’s e-mails looking for some kind of indictable offense, some kind of salacious or inappropriate word, or expression, in order to destroy, defame, and or shame the person whose e-mails they are pouring over? When? NEVER. Why? Because Sarah Palin is loved and admired by too many people, and she is a very strong voice and represents a growing constituency throughout the country which the media is opposed to. And because they are opposed to it, they must do everything in their power to destroy this lady, because she may cause more damage to their agenda than they are prepared to accept. What I’ve heard on the radio the past week has been from very good analysis, to cheap shots against Sarah Palin, and Michelle Bachman from the radical Left, and yet I have not heard a peep from the organs of the mainstream media about how wrong, Congressman Weiner’s behavior towards these women was, and not just his behavior towards them, but his lying to the public after he was discovered. This adds insult to injury. Not only was Weiner’s behavior reprehensible and unacceptable from a public officials – a sitting US Congressman, but he lied about it when it was first disclosed to the public, claiming that someone had hacked into his Twitter account.

This man’s behavior displayed to several women, disrespecting them by such acts is nothing short of a breach in our nation’s security. Why would it be? Because anyone who would act in such a manner cannot be trusted with the nation’s most sensitive secrets, because only a person of the utmost integrity and honesty should have access to the nation’s most sensitive secrets. Consider that if such a man can betray his spouse so easily and without remorse, and if he can lie so easily, such a person lacks any credibility, a key ingredient if he Is to lead and legislate effectively. Someone who can turn on a dime so easily cannot be trusted to hold the office of congressman. A person of such low moral caliber would be easily persuaded to betray his country by any foreign power seeking our nation’s secrets and using his moral lapses as a means to obtain what they want through blackmail. This is a very dangerous and precarious situation – to have someone like Anthony Wiener in such a sensitive post and Congressman Weiner should now resign his post, and allow someone else to take his place. Anthony Weiner must resign. And if he does not resign, he should be dismissed from office and stripped of his pension for life. He has disgraced his office, has brought shame and ill repute to himself, and has betrayed both oaths he made – the one he made to his wife and the one he made to his nation.

A VERY SHORT HISTORY ON THE MIDDLE EAST

Fact: In the beginning, some five thousand years ago, G-d spoke to Abraham & promised the land to him and his descendants through Isaac, and later Jacob/Israel, and his sons FOREVER. G-d established the covenant of circumcision with Abraham as a sign of His contract/promise between Himself & Abraham & his descendants through Isaac, & Jacob/Israel. To Abraham's first son, Ishmael, the father of the Arab people, G-d gave the lands of the East, what is known today as the Arabian Peninsula. This was some five thousand plus years ago before the birth of Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah. Now let's move forward to the 7th century of our common era, 700 years after Yeshua/Jesus & the 2nd temple era, the founder of Islam, Mohammed, and every Arab Muslim since has possessed the lands of the Arabian Peninsula since. The land which the Romans renamed Palestina from which we get the name of Palestine, was populated by Jews before any Arabs lived in it, & every piece of property the local Arabs inhabiting that land owned, was bought and paid for by the Jews who settled that land, returning to it after two thousand years of exile. When Israel was invaded by five larger and more powerful Arab countries, it won the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, and the West Bank (Judea & Samaria) with their blood; defending the little sliver of land they possessed before the 1967 war. There is much more history that I have not included here, for example, the Arab call to the local Arabs living in Israel proper to leave their homes and flee before the invasion of 1948, which over one million did, & having done so, immigrated to Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, and the other Arab nations, where they were discriminated against & mistreated by their hosts in those nations, but which the organs of the mass media conveniently choose not to report. Only the Intifada is what they have focused on. If you read the Books of Ezekiel and Isaiah, & other prophetic books of the Bible, you will see detailed descriptions of the return of the Jewish people from their exile all across the world to the land G-d promised to them after a long exile. This began to happen in the 19th century, but happened in earnest in the 20th century, as millions of Jewish exiles returned to the land G-d promised to their forebears, beginning with Abraham, & which by right they are entitled to inhabit & cultivate, which they have. But even more startling is the fact that the Holy Scriptures - Old & New Testaments alike, make no mention of a Palestine, Palestinians, or a nation called Palestine in its books. There is no prophecy of Scripture within the Bible that reference even a single mention of a future Palestinian State. And no current leader, be he an American president, or an Israeli Prime Minister; has any authority to surrender land which only G-d in His divine authority has given exclusively to the Jewish people. No one. Of course, anyone who takes a contrary point of view to this begins with a premise that he/she either does not recognize the Holy Scriptures of within the Bile, or G-d's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob/Israel, for in order to respect this covenant & maintain & defend it, a person must first recognize those two imponderables. Any other point of view be it religious or political will not, & this is the problem with the current occupant of the White House; Barack Hussein Obama, the most Anti-Israel US president in recent memory. Any Jew who votes to reelect him has sided with Israel's enemies, & is at variance with the covenant G-d made with Abraham, & is under judgment. Case closed.
