Truth Convicts

It should be common knowledge by now that Iraq and Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11. The attack and subsequent occupation of Iraq was carried out under the cloak of 9/11 via Nazi propaganda techniques with a false accusation that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Eight years and almost five thousand U.S. troops later and these bloody wars continue. So far a million Iraqi’s have been murdered from the on going war not to mention the million, mostly children (around 576,000) which died from UN sanctions prior to the 2003 invasion. I believe violence against innocence to be the greatest of all sins. One innocent life is worth more than all the money in the world but if we are to understand the fullness of this mess then it must be discussed.

“The (congressional) committee estimated $1.3 trillion in war costs by the end of 2008 for Iraq, and the remainder for Afghanistan. The total war costs could grow to $3.5 trillion by 2017 …The committee calculated the average cost of both wars for a family of four would be $20,900 from 2002 to 2008. The cost for a family of four would go up to $46,400 from 2002 to 2017, the committee said…’For every dollar we spend directly in Iraq, we're going to pay another dollar for the indirect, but immediate, costs of the war,’ Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, said. ‘We of the baby boom generation and our children and grandchildren will be paying for this war for a very long time to come.’ ‘We cannot afford this war -- $12 billion dollars a month?" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, said. ‘We just can't. We can't continue." Oh we can and we are, at least until August of 2010 with 50,000 troops still to remain. Meanwhile, Barrack Hussein Obama is shifting costs and troops from Iraq too Afghanistan only furthering the failure and bloodshed.

So where does this money go? Many places of course but why are we paying terrorists?  That is reality according to this excerpt from General Patreaus’ book The Gamble, “Cook's bottom line was that many low- level fighters had joined the insurgency for the money. By taking them away from al Qaeda and putting them on the American payroll, he said, the huge economic advantage of the United States was finally brought to bear in Iraq. "They could not compete with the sheer volume of cash we were able to put in people's (terrorists) hands," he said. Payments of $300 a month each to 1,500 local security guards amounted to nearly a half million dollars a month, he noted... A subsequent investigation found strong evidence that some of the Iraqi police colluded with the attackers. (Emphasis added)” That is how we should be spending tax payer money. Let’s make the terrorists a better offer than Al Qaeda and “hope” they don’t attack the troops. If this isn’t funding both sides of a war than I don’t know what is. Maybe a larger example will suffice? Do you remember when the Soviet Union was going through their severe economic crisis during their nine year Soviet-Afghan War? The U.S. was supplying the Afghani and Arab Jihads, which included Osama Bin Laden, with advanced weapons and training to combat the Soviets? Now Obama wants to combat the U.S. trained and armed troops of Afghanistan.

Let’s give the 9/11 Commission official report the benefit of the doubt and analyze the U.S. reaction. Osama Bin Laden from a cave in Afghanistan and his terrorist cell network hijacked four commercial airplanes, flew them around for a couple of hours, and carried out the attacks on September 11^th killing 2,752 Americans. The U.S. responds by invading Afghanistan almost a month later. Obama, as if ordering french fries, recently biggie sized his order of troops to Afghanistan by 17,000 to arrive at a whopping 38,000 total. U.S. deaths there have tripled in the first two months of 2009. What has come of the surge in troops to the region? “As troops pour into the country and violence rises, another sobering measure has also increased: More Afghan civilians are dying in U.S. and allied operations than at the hands of the Taliban,” according to a count by The Associated Press. That is a sobering thought. Our men are dying and they are killing innocent people? “In the first two months of the year, U.S., NATO or Afghan forces have killed 100 civilians while militants have killed 60,” according to The Columbia Daily Tribune. The U.S. says they want to stop the drug trafficking out of Afghanistan but at the same time are going to help them build roads, at our expense, to help their economy through the flow of goods. There we go again devastating a nation only to rebuild it once more.

Recap:

· 2,752 Americans murdered on 9/11

· U.S. murders a million people in Iraq and countless others in Afghanistan

· As a result, roughly five thousand U.S. soldiers lose their life

· 31,102 U.S. soldiers have been wounded as of April 6, 2009,

· Soldiers diagnosed with PTSD are among the highest suicide rates

· Our freedom wars have stripped the American people of their liberty

· Trillions of tax payer dollars spent on an unpopular war

· U.S. relations with the rest of the world have crumbled along with the economy

A bit of an overreaction wouldn’t you agree? It holds true that when the rich wage war it is the poor who die and if you kill in the hundreds of thousands it is considered war and not murder. If you terrorize a few you are a terrorist but if you terrorize the masses you spread democracy. If your beliefs are held by a few you are a cultist but if you have millions of members you are religious. This country was once a great Republic in which all were held accountable under law. Democracy is flawed by a majority rule. When the majority is the uneducated ignorant half, like is our case, the country will fall. I will soon be writing about how to survive this inevitable collapse in greater detail with historical and Biblical accounts to substantiate my pursuit of truth convictions.

In October 2007, the Bush administration imposed the harshest set of new sanctions in nearly three decades. They accused Tehran of supporting terrorism and claimed their nuclear facilities were a guise for nuclear weapons ambitions. In March of 2009 the Obama administration extended these sanctions for at least another year over allegations that Iran is involved in terrorism and seeking weapons of mass destruction. Sound eerily familiar? The Bush administration created a villain out of Saddam Hussein, who had nothing to do with 9/11, claiming he had obtained weapons of mass destruction aimed at American citizens. At this point it doesn’t matter who was actually responsible for the attacks on 9/11. Consequently the U.S. used 9/11 as an excuse to invade Afghanistan, occupy Iraq, and effectively surround Iran with nearly 200,000 troops in the last six years. You don’t have to be a military strategist to figure out that surrounding your enemy on all sides is an offensive posture.

The occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq were essential steps toward the pending conflict with Iran. I understand the many reasons for not wanting any additional nations to obtain nuclear weapons especially an unstable, Middle Eastern, U.S. hating nation that has openly declared a desire to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. I get that. What I do not understand is why the U.S. devotedly backs the most hated nation in the most hostile region on the planet. There can be only two no good reasons: religion and or money. I believe it is both in this case and that is truly alarming.

Whether Iran builds the nuclear bombs or the Russians give them some, one thing is certain; they will get a hold of one. Could you blame Russia after what we did to them during the Soviet-Afghan War? A flare up with the U.S. and Iran would provide Russia with the perfect opportunity to do exactly to the U.S. what the U.S. did to them. The Soviet Union was going through a severe economic crisis during their nine year Soviet-Afghan War, during which, the U.S. was supplying the Afghani and Arab Jihads, which included Osama Bin Laden, with advanced weapons and training to combat the Soviets. Russia claims to be an ally of the U.S. and Iran. How can a friend be an enemy’s good friend, hmmm? So how do the Russians feel about our sanctions on Iran? Well if this is any indication Vladimir Putin said regarding the issue, "Why worsen the situation by threatening sanctions and bring it to a dead end? It's not the best way to resolve the situation by running around like a madman with a razor blade in his hand." I do not care how many toy reset buttons Hillary Clinton and the Russian Foreign Minister have to push. Putin will remain the dominant voice in Russia and I believe holds quite a grudge against America.

Sanctions on Iraq were similar to Iranian sanctions. Both put restrictions on the military, economy, and trades. U.S. sanctions in response to the Iraq invasion of Kuwait in 1990 have reportedly been responsible for over a million Iraqi deaths with children accounting for over half that figure. The U.S. economy is suffering similar to that of the Soviet Union making it extremely vulnerable to collapse especially in the event of an attack. The U.S. has been in a costly Middle Eastern conflict for six years comparable to the nine year Soviet-Afghan War. There is an overall agenda for everything transpiring in the Middle East concerning the U.S. presence. The purpose for all the military positioning should be revealed in the near future.

I say “near” for a number of reasons.

· Obama’s troop draw down in Iraq

· The surge of troops into Afghanistan

· Iran is testing air-to-ground missiles for destroying navy vessels

· The U.S. Navy is just off the shores of Iran

· It is only a matter of time before Iran acquires nuclear arms

The number of troops in Iraq will not begin to decrease in the slightest until late 2009 when the draw down begins. Meanwhile, the troop levels in Afghanistan will multiply by the end of this summer. General David McKiernan, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, has requested four additional brigades. If granted the additional brigades will make the number troops grow from the current 38,000 to 60,000. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said, "Should the president make the decision to deploy additional brigades to Afghanistan, we could have two of those brigades there probably by late spring, and potentially a third by mid-summer." With or without the additional troops, the total number of boots on ground will peak at the end of 2009. Saying they are going to be withdrawing U.S. troops and actually doing so are two entirely different things. Telling the world they have plans on decreasing troop levels in Iraq could be the concealing outfit for troop increases in the short term. If they feel they need more time to get properly situated for an Iran war then the draw down will only be delayed thus sustaining the highest levels ever in the Middle East.

So if U.S. leaders indeed desire conflict with Iran then the end of 2009 and on into next year will be their prime window of opportunity. The catalyst may be a U.S. generated false flag incident, a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran or a true initiation by Iran. Either way, if such a frightening act takes place we may all be witnessing the launch of the third world war. Again I say these things as a warning to not only be watchful but also prepared for such an event so you and your family are not caught off guard. Please do not ignore (become ignorant) the warning signs and succumb to apathy. God bless and God speed.

Like it or not there IS a resistance mounting in this country and around the world. I  can assure you that there are two very opposing parties with a blind or indifferent majority grazing somewhere in the middle. I am all for peacefully protecting the foundations of my country but would never succumb to violence as a means of demanding my voice be heard. In the words of David Icke, “We need to come together in mutual support, love, kindness and empathy. We need to put aside the manufactured fault-lines that divide us - religion, politics, race, culture and income bracket. That is not to say people have to reject their beliefs, just don't let them be weapons of division.” What we have is a divergent (from the constitution) progressively more tyrannical government on one side and countrymen armed with the second amendment on the other. Both sides are locked and loaded with lines drawn. Who, or what, will be the trigger for the looming discharge of violence?

It could be the first rock thrower or a trigger happy redneck. Animosity and anonymity can cause even the most peaceful protests to turn violent. It may come from an isolated incident, such as the Rodney King uprising in Los Angeles. Or maybe it will be another false flag operation by our government. Regardless, when the footage of the rioting and looting enters homes across the nation it will have people anxiously reaching for their guns. The irrational, scared, unemployed, and under prepared will likely overreact, causing widespread panic. The gun to food ratio will exploit the inherent survival instinct of man furthering the catastrophe with appalling acts of violence.

I do not mean to bring gloom and doom or instill fear in anyone’s heart. I hope to promote preparedness. Being prepared can never be a bad thing, even if upheaval never takes place and I hope it never will. I understand that nearly every generation has thought they were living in the end times. However, unlike any of those times, the prophecies have been fulfilled and the remaining are for the first time possible. I could elaborate but there is plenty of literature on this topic out there already. Also, I do not believe in the notion of a pre-tribulation rapture and feel the term “rapture” is dangerously misleading at best. God historically delivered man through, not out of the fire. Matthew 24: 36-44 ³⁶"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. ³⁷As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ³⁸For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; ³⁹and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

⁴²"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. ⁴³But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. ⁴⁴So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. (Emphasis added) If depths of despair described in this passage do take place, then what does it say we are to do?

¹⁶…flee to the mountains. ¹⁷Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. ¹⁸Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. ¹⁹How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! ²⁰Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. ²¹For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. ²²If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. ²³At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. ²⁴For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. ²⁵See, I have told you ahead of time. Great signs and miracles that are deceitful will have to come from the use of secretly advanced technology held from the public’s eye to appear great and miraculous. Secret societies, defacto-top secret, have always withheld knowledge knowing it would empower the people. They will not deceive the elect (watchful) who know what to expect.

America is never mentioned in Bible prophecy and I believe this is because the U.S. is going to lose the title of “superpower” before the worst of these times. Do not ignore the message or dwell negatively on it. Instead put the energy building from uneasy thoughts into productive work towards preparation. You’ll find extraordinary peace from quietly studying and preparing yourself for what is to come. Visit my links page to find valuable sources of information under the sustainable living category. I recommend that at a minimum precaution people have enough fuel on hand to get where they need to go and backpacks loaded with a tent, sleeping bag, food, fire starter, and a water purifier. I caution travel on the roads but this will have to be a judgment call per individual. I have the MSR Sweet Water purifier; it costs around $80 new. With it I have pumped hundreds of gallons of clean water and having clean water is the most essential for survival. Food is everywhere! I do not believe in starvation. Cows did not get so big and fat from eating McDonalds, they got that way from eating grass. If they can eat it so can we. God bless.

Stephen Hawking is a renowned British theoretical physicist and according to his studies something must be done. Stephen Hawking wrote the book The Universe in a Nutshell. In the book, the study eluded to here is his prediction that, “By the year 2600 the world’s population would be standing shoulder to shoulder, and the electricity consumption would make the Earth glow red-hot.” The world’s population has grown exponentially in the last two-hundred years and is estimated to double every forty years. A good visual scale for this kind of exponential growth would be to decide whether or not it's worth taking a deal where I would give you a million dollars at the end of the month if you would give me a penny today, then double the amount every day until the end of the month. It would look like this:

Day 1: $.01
Day 2: $.02
Day 3: $.04
Day 4: $.08
Day 5: $.16
Day 6: $.32

I think I’ve made my point.

So what are the world’s elite, who have this knowledge, planning to do about it? First of all, they don’t feel they have a choice and secondly, they aren’t waiting for Mother Earth to handle it for them. They are interested in one thing and one thing only and that is self-preservation. In 1500 AD the population of the world was around 1.5 billion.  By 2000 AD that number had grown to over 6 billion. In their mind something must be done. Who are “they” I speak of? Well, in the United States at the end of 2001, 10% of the population owned 71% of the wealth, and the top 1% controlled 38%. On the other hand, the bottom 40% owned less than 1% of the nation's wealth. I am pretty sure that "they" are the top one percent, not just in the U.S. but in the World as well.  So, what could they possibly cook up in their secret meetings to counteract the increasing threat to their future offspring?

They will continue to monitor and control to the best of their ability. Protecting abortion rights, contraception, and socially mandated birth rate management like the China adopted method, will certainly remain among their top priorities. It will be difficult for birth rate control methods to be implemented in democratic societies, but lucky for them, even the U.S. has slid into a socialist state. So the next advance will need to come through a deceptive back door. If the leaders of the U.S. truly gave a damn about humanity, as they have claimed, then they would have been doing something about the genocide in Africa while trying to police the world, but they don’t. Evidence of this is the somewhat recent visit of the former President George W. Bush to Africa where he boasted about 17 million dollars in U.S. aid, meanwhile, spending billions upon billions in the illegal occupation of Iraq. Genocide is one way to lower populations, and orchestrated conflicts is another...the latter being more expensive of course, but they care little because they give the contracts to companies with owners embedded in the elite/government, the latest being Dick Cheney’s Halliburton. Lethal bioengineered diseases are favorable but don’t quite raise the revenue they would hope for. This is why delivering deadly organisms via vaccines is so appealing. The pharmaceutical industry is the deadliest of all and has arguably more money and influence than even the eager, war excited, energy moguls. The next question to ask is, where would these “elitists” be in the event, should it occur?

That’s easy Click Here…  And Mount Weather is only one of hundreds in the U.S. alone.

America’s “Go for Broke” mentality was never meant to be taken literally. However, these inspiring words have taken on more of a prophetic tone, so it seems. Who would have thought that the nation conceived from the almighty womb of the UK by a few dissident rebels would have changed the world as we see it today. America has been known for some time as the world’s leading superpower, but like all great empires before us, this one too shall fall. World history has proven this to be the case. Geographical borders have altered dramatically even in the last century: WW1, WW11 and the Cold War are testaments to this certainty. We are not immune anymore than the once prominent Russia.

The world contains an inherent system of checks and balances, as slow as this transformation may seem. The better prepared Soviet Union was a predecessor for what is to come of the United States. This ostentatious nation has particularly influenced world commerce. Great Britain was still laden with soot when John D. Rockefeller and his Standard Oil Company led the U.S. into a new age of energy production. Energy is money and money is power. Soon oil will be to energy as the dollar was to reserve currency, a thing of the past. Big oil tycoons, from the Rockefellers to the Bush family, have halted the overdue exploration into renewable energy sources. Bush was selected into office by the oil rich elitists to lead this nation into premeditated wars in the oil rich hostile lands of the Middle East.

They used Nazi propaganda techniques on U.S. citizens to achieve the necessary support for the occupation of Iraq. The politically controlled media known as the “Big Six” made no effort to investigate 9/11 and instead sounded the Bush war cry, "WMD’S, terror, 9/11, terrorists, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, 9/11!" Adolf Hitler said, “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it.” Like a good herd of sheeple we demanded action...convenient, according to Bush, because that’s where we were headed. The unquenchable oil moguls needed assurance that every last drop of blood-covered oil was in their pocket. The price WE have paid, for what we thought would sustain freedom is currently 4,250 U.S. soldiers and roughly a million Iraqis. That blood falls on all of us. It wasn’t the perpetrators’ children that fought in this oil war; it was our own flesh and blood, family and friends.

The U.S. has terrorized the world with its intimidating military force. The U.S. is top dog, spending over half of the world’s military budget. Likewise, the democratic majority in congress passes an agenda without concern for the other party. The current, “If you don’t like it we’ll kick your ass” approach has gone on too long. America, consisting of merely four percent of the world’s population yet consuming a quarter of the world’s annual oil supply, has employed the world with its gluttonous appetite for worldly possessions.We are a pretty arrogant nation considering our continued existence is based on oil supplied by our enemies. The world won’t put up with it much longer and we as a nation are about to be kicked off the island.

The federal government is getting prepared to not only police the world but its states as well. Currently twenty one states have passed declarations concerning this issue, and with Texas and Minnesota it will soon be twenty-two and twenty-three. They recognize the problem and are trying to retain their sovereignty as a state. The federal government, in 2010, will begin pressuring all states that do not comply with the coming federal id by incrementally withholding highway funding. It is my belief that this once great nation will soon be humbly divided by outside forces or state separation from the union. A violent history has shown that these events do not go peacefully. My concern has been cause for personal preparation and a desire to alert the watchful. I pray for visitors of this site to use discernment pertaining to all material here and elsewhere. Do not take my or anyone else’s opinion as Truth. Find the Truth in your heart regarding all things and remain watchful. God Bless…

February 19^th, 1942, Executive Order 9066, was signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt authorizing military commanders to designate “military areas” as “exclusion zones” for Japanese personnel, following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Unlike the “alien enemy” roundups, these exclusion zones were to hold most of the remaining Japanese, citizen or non-citizen, selected at will by the government authorized, military commanders. There were roughly 115,000 Japanese rounded up before the Supreme Court ruled on December 18^th, 1944 that the detainment of U.S. citizens was unconstitutional. That same day, however, “Korematsu v. United States” held that the exclusion process as a whole was constitutional. Of the 115,000, nearly two-thirds were U.S. citizens. The remaining one-third were subject to internment under the “Alien Enemies act.”

The “Alien Enemies Act” authorized the detainment and deportation of immigrants from the countries at war with the U.S. This statute sounds eerily similar to the unconstitutional “Patriot Act” that passed shortly after 9/11. The “Alien Enemies Act” has never expired and is even used today in times of war. The “Patriot Act” enhances the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The concern with this act is the loosely defined word, “terrorism”. Currently no definition is internationally agreed upon regarding the politically and emotionally charged term. The common dictionary definition is as follows: (1) the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce especially for political purposes (2) the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization; and (3) a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government. The U.S. is guilty of using violence, threats and intimidation to produce submission for political and economic purposes. It is the “…or of resisting a government” that should be of greatest concern. Thomas Jefferson understood the need for resistance, “A little rebellion now and then… is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.” The right of the people to peacefully resist tyrannical government has been lost.

Executive Order 9066 that authorized the unconstitutional detaining of U.S. citizens seems to correlate well with the less popularized “Home Grown Terrorist Act” of 2007.

AN ACT

To prevent homegrown terrorism, AND for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007”.

SEC. 2. Prevention of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism.

(a) In general.—Title VIII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 361 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following new subtitle:

“subtitle J—Prevention of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism

“SEC. 899A. Definitions.

“For purposes of this subtitle:

“(1) Commission.—The term ‘Commission’ means the National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism established under section 899C.

“(2) Violent radicalization.—The term ‘violent radicalization’ means the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change.

“(3) Homegrown terrorism.—The term ‘homegrown terrorism’ means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

“(4) Ideologically based violence.—The term ‘ideologically based violence’ means the use, planned use, or threatened use of force or violence by a group or individual to promote the group or individual’s political, religious, or social beliefs.

“SEC. 899B. Findings.

“The Congress finds the following:

“(1) The development and implementation of methods and processes that can be utilized to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in the United States is critical to combating domestic terrorism.

“(2) The promotion of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence exists in the United States and poses a threat to homeland security.

“(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens.

“(4) While the United States must continue its vigilant efforts to combat international terrorism, it must also strengthen efforts to combat the threat posed by homegrown terrorists based and operating within the United States.

“(5) Understanding the motivational factors that lead to violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence is a vital step toward eradicating these threats in the United States.

“(6) Preventing the potential rise of self radicalized, unaffiliated terrorists domestically cannot be easily accomplished solely through traditional Federal intelligence or law enforcement efforts, and can benefit from the incorporation of State and local efforts.

“(7) Individuals prone to violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence span all races, ethnicities, and religious beliefs, and individuals should not be targeted based solely on race, ethnicity, or religion.

“(8) Any measure taken to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence and homegrown terrorism in the United States should not violate the constitutional rights, civil rights, or civil liberties of United States citizens or lawful permanent residents.

“(9) Certain governments, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia have significant experience with homegrown terrorism and the United States can benefit from lessons learned by those nations.

SEC. 899B, findings number 8, says that the U.S. should not violate the constitutional rights, civil liberties of the United States citizens or lawful permanent residents. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” The Department of Homeland Security with its newly adopted policies has essentially wiped its ass with the fourth amendment. The NSA has done the same with warrant less surveillance. The fourth amendment was written before telephones and electronic paper yet these are tapped and searched as well. Amendments to the Constitution ought to side with the goodwill of the American people not strip them of their rights through the use of terror(ist) tactics in government with help from the media. What can be done to stop this intrusion?

NOTHING! The government has in effect threatened violence on the American people through the use of the word “terrorism.” A Terrorist is not a group or a nation to be destroyed; it is by definition an “ideology”. To be an active Constitutionalist in present times will almost certainly land one in prison at some point. Constitutionalists will be branded as nonconformists and dissidents. The use of military force on the American people who are armed with the second amendment will most certainly be the cause for the next revolution. American historian, author, professor and political activist Howard Zinn exclaims, “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”

Thomas Jefferson further added, “If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs (as we have done), you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves (Blagojevich and others). It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions (Ron Paul).” So what are the awakened of this generation to do?

Trying to gain influence in politics is often slow and ineffective, just look at the lack of media coverage during Ron Paul’s well funded campaign. Peaceful demonstrations might produce some constructive outcome but the larger more successful groups carry a plane of anonymity which typically turns violent because of social animosity from the few sadistic fanatics.  The only assurance of self-preservation one can hope to gain will come from the creation of sanctuaries as described in, Heaven is Sustainable Living.  As Truth Convict I suggest heeding the warning left by Benjamin Franklin concerning government, “Know the law and be well disposed to use it”. Peace and love be with all.

“Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.” 1Thessalonians 4: 11-12

We have drifted far from the biblical principles meant to safeguard us from financial terror. People are fear stricken from the recent media driven practice of panicology meant to drown our nation in premeditated economic crisis, followed by right stripping mandates comparable to post 9/11. How many hours of sleep will be lost because of the invisible econ-terrorist who comes to strip you of your material wealth? We have given the State power over us through municipal monopolies like the Public Utility Districts, the Water Districts, and the Sewer Districts. They offer effortless electricity and water. They will even filter our excrement and supply it back to us in the form of drinking water for $(X) amount per month. The reason people don’t have the ability to conspire against a tyrannical government is the same reason why a dog won’t bite the hand that feeds it. Through dependence we have unknowingly given up control. Water is the most valuable resource known to man and most have little control over its supply. It is time we free ourselves from the system to gain economic freedom and control.

Today, it is easier than ever to embrace a life of independence with all the comforts and amenities of modern day living. Yes, that is right; you can keep your refrigerator and even the satellite television. The life I am about to portray is so obtainable, so heavenly, so practical you’ll ask yourself why you’ve never thought of it before. It is called sustainable living. Historically, great technological advances have been motivated by war and energy. Well, nothing has changed…but the good news is now we have the ability to independently harness the sun and wind’s peaceful energy. Technological advances in this area have been slowed by economic interests from oil rich elitists but are now affordable, efficient and available to the everyday consumer. If your home is connected to the power grid, municipal water source, or sewer then I would strongly suggest moving or creating a safe haven. I say this because as long as you are coupled to any of those things then you are not prepared for catastrophic events or living a life committed to independence.

My current home/safe haven is still in progress but I love every minute of it. I have a two bedroom one bath cabin on twenty tree-covered acres. The acreage is located just six miles from town but three miles from the nearest paved road. It borders national forest, meaning nobody can build between our home and the pristine view. I get water from my well which is powered by a 12-volt pump. When the water reaches the house it flows into a 250 gallon cistern which is then boosted into a pressure tank using another 12-volt pump. I have a dependable 12-volt battery bank charged by two solar panels which receive maximum sun exposure being positioned atop the mountain. The DC power runs through a 2,000 watt inverter, allowing for the standard 120 volt AC system used in everyday homes. I hope to someday have a wind generator but for now I run a reliable propane generator for winter days with little sun light. The cabin is fitted with two propane heaters, a propane stove and refrigerator, and a propane tank-less instant hot water heater. I use the one hundred year old wood stove in the winter to cook and heat the cabin, cutting down on propane use. The cabin also contains two other wood stoves, one in the living room and the other in the shop. With this set-up our basic needs are more than met.

My wife and I hope to build yurt, straw bale, or log cabin style homes for extended family and friends to live year-round, or for use as a sanctuary. We aspire to grow 90% of our food, but until then we have purchased enough of the essentials to make it through a catastrophe, friends and family included. We eventually would like a green house for year-round gardening. We hope to get chickens for eggs and goats for milk, butter, cheese and sour cream. We love baked potatoes, so we experimented growing them last year. Realizing how abundantly they grew and what little effort they took, we often joke that we could live off of potatoes alone. We have quite the job to do before our grander dream becomes reality but already this place is taking shape, not to mention the benefit it offers the soul.

However, the cabin isn’t all work and no play. So far we have built an awesome 18 hole Frisbee golf course and an official size horseshoe pit. In the front yard there is a 50 ft. climbing tree that even my wife has scaled, and yes I’ve climbed it naked. Hikes commence the instant you step off the deck. They typically involve a backpack full of water, snacks and a few beers (oh, and the dog comes, too). We hike around scouting out suitable places for snowboard runs, rope swings and zip lines. Each year we snowshoe around until we find the perfect Charlie Brown Christmas tree which works well in our small cabin.

We have chosen this way of life for the enjoyment we receive from it…it just happens to double as a refuge in case of economic collapse, natural disaster, famine and war/martial law. I hope to inspire those teetering on the fence about living a life on the edge, to go ahead and make the change for a healthier life. Why not live where the water is reliable and pure, the air so clean, the garden so organic, and the view so remarkable. If the life you desire resembles the one I’ve described then take the leap of faith. Start by searching out properties for sale and visit the few you find attractive. My wife and I found that it was cheaper to buy a beautiful cabin on twenty acres than it was to buy a house comparable in size on less than a third of an acre in what some consider the slum part of town. Sustainable living is the healthiest thing you can do for yourself and the greenest thing you can do for your planet. In my opinion, sustainable living is the ultimate lifestyle and solution in times of crisis albeit economic or otherwise. So find your plot of heaven and, “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.” 1Thessalonians 4: 11-12

Since when has taxation with representation meant bending over and taking it with a smile? Hitler hit it on the head when he said, “What luck for rulers that men don’t think.” We can’t even begin to comprehend the number, one billion, and most couldn’t write it numerically (1,000,000,000). Obama is now asking for $900,000,000,000 on top of the 8 trillion the last administration borrowed. Our nation will NEVER pay off this debt and it doesn’t intend to. The rest of the world, especially China, was slow to realize that they were throwing money into a rapidly sinking ship. All this stimulus money and no results, but we should sleep easy tonight knowing investment bankers on Wall Street are still getting fat bonuses thanks to Washington bailouts. In 1956 Eisenhower was able to construct the entire U.S. Interstate System with just $114 billion (inflation adjusted= $425 billion 2006 dollars). His project provided jobs for thirty-five years during construction, not to mention the man power it takes to keep freeways maintained. What a monumental task with what seems like chump change in our current mess.

How can an economy that is consumer driven by in-debt citizens ever make it without major collapse and reconstruction? The answer is it can’t. However, if they wanted to encourage people to overcome their fear of spending why didn’t they give you and me the money? If they were to give what has reached nearly 9 trillion dollars to the roughly 300 million U.S. citizens instead of wealthy business partners it would equal $30,000 per person. That is every man, woman, and child! This might have stimulated some spending.

I am not proposing that handing each individual $30,000 dollars would have been good for our economy. It would have created mass inflation and weakened the dollar. The point is, our government did cause hyper inflation and weaken the dollar by pumping this money into the economy, but in my illustration you had $30,000. Haven’t the working class learned yet that only the poor and super wealthy in this country ever get a financial break? The money earned by the working class is redistributed by the government like a modern day Robin Hood in bed with the Sheriff of Nottingham. I am concerned that this whole mess will initiate two things. One is the U.S. use of the Amero, and the other is known as the North American Union.

Were are still a long way from Will Smith being hunted down by bad ass robots but if the machines in the picture to the left are currently used in Iraq, ask yourself just how far has the government gone in the development of top secret research? You have to wonder when in 1980 the Department of Defense was able to publicly disclose its work on stealth technology by revealing the B-2/Stealth Bomber. This means that while you were getting tangled up in your old rotary dial phone, unsure of what a computer was, your government had already built this silent killer and wasn’t afraid of the enemy's knowledge of it. How far have they traveled down this rabbit hole and who is holding them accountable?

Area 51 is what they call "black list". Black list sites are present all over the world. There they conduct research without legal limitations. Area 51, with all its hype, has nearly been put out of commission for some time. These places are typically constructed almost entirely underground for obvious reasons (think I’m crazy Google Earth your house sometime). They have no accountability for their actions and this is a major problem. What happens in a place that doesn’t exist when someone gets killed? Who’s to say, and I know this is only speculation, that Uncle Sam hasn’t already found replacements for human lives on our battlefields.

Typically the government creates the technology but then has the difficult task of making it affordable for mass production. I feel the future infantry uniform is one of these recently revealed concepts out of what seems like science fiction that has been a reality for some time.

The U.S. is the world's largest arms dealer with a history of supplying both sides of war. The world combined spent over a trillion dollars on military defense in 2006 of which America accounted for more than half. It seems U.S. war profiteers supply the enemy with financial and arms resources in return for natural ones ie. oil. They then turn around and kill them with the next generation of U.S. citizens and weapons. Research everything I say, as you should with all things, for yourself and while you're at it, check out U.S. involvement with Saddam Hussein in his war with Iran and Osama Bin Laden's war with the Soviets in Afghanistan.

I see a generation coming up not mistakenly highly trained for future wars involving remote controls in place of machine guns. The army has encouraged, even created, the playing of violent video games to boost recruitment. I agree that robotic machines on the battlefield in place of human life sounds like a good idea. The problem is that human soldiers used to be deployed strictly in other countries. Now we have the 3^rd Infantry Division patrolling U.S. streets which is unconstitutional. Are you seeing the parallel here? Soldiers are now being told, and have been for some time, that they will need to be emotionally ready to kill fellow Americans in the name of State preservation. What I am suggesting is that it would be much easier for the generation of video game desensitized soldiers to kill Americans using robotic machines instead of face to face combat. It is the equivalent of flying the B-2 over Iraq and dropping bombs in the middle of the night, missing your targets, as it were, and still making it home for dinner. Just ask the guys who did it. Do you think they have post traumatic stress disorder or is it the guys on the ground who witness the horrendous violence?

There is something epic yet invisible going on around us all the time. We have evidence of Big Brother watching our every move and still we do nothing. There are men, women, and children dying in a country from a war that currently 70% of Americans don’t agree with, yet we allow it to continue. What is going to be next, corporate robots serving us drinks on a refrigerated beach in Dubai while people can’t find work?

Look at the number of website traffic hits in a day by web content crawling robots and ask yourself whether or not mainstream search engines sold you out. I guess we’ll have to see who gets the next fat check from us signed, Uncle Sam. President Bush has been trying to give immunity to our cell phone companies used in his illegal surveillance on U.S. citizens. My question is who the hell is going to pardon him and why can’t the leaders of this nation be held liable under the same damn law they get paid to protect. Where are we as a nation when you can’t mention the Presidents name without being recorded? They now can listen in on any conversation via the microphone in your cell phone whether on or off. They have realized that war Presidents get elected for a second term nearly every time. They use the first four years to influence votes towards a re-election and the second term filling a majority of their color into the proper (power) seats, its pretty smooth sailing at this point. Here they seem to grab their magic pen and continue the constitutional rewrite.

Since the beginning of this premeditated Iraq war we have permitted, almost encouraged, a swift dismantling of our protections from big tyrannical government. Our fear based society permitted government to pen away our rights in the name of protection from caveman terrorists and more importantly American comforts. They used the clever guise of the Patriot Act but never informed us about the Home Grown terrorist Act. On cue we rose together declaring we must do something. What we did is conveniently invade a country having nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction or 9/11. Iraq has the largest untapped known oil reserve in the world. We were duped by stupid pseudo patriotic country songs that boasted our lack of knowledge of our world. How did it go something like I don’t know the difference between Iraq and Iran but I know Jesus and I talk to God. What is this nonsense? Are we going to allow our children to be this ignorant or will it stop with us? President Bush claims history may substantiate his largest mistake. He is probably right; it will most likely come from our children’s lack of education through the useless baised text books in the public school system. Its time to wake up and realize that war does not bring about stability in the Middle East it only inflames it. We are breeding generations of terrorists over seas. Try putting yourself in the shoes of an Iraqi and see if you would summon the rage to fight back.

Perhaps your house had just been raided in the middle of the night with armed soldiers pointing guns and flashlights yelling in a foreign language. Maybe they are doing a thorough job of searching your wife or daughter. You could be the son who saw his father get shot for trying to stop this injustice. Or perhaps they are driving their armed convoys too fast through your neighborhood and you see a child get ran over. Of the so called smart bombs dropped in Iraq, 50% reportedly missed their targets. Maybe one of those hit your home or a close neighbor’s. If these shocking facts of war don’t sour your stomach then we are doomed as a species. I do not blame the soldiers for doing their job though they do have a choice. I charge the politicians at the top calling shots and those just above them pulling their strings all of whom never fire a weapon or witness the gruesome murders they request. Don’t get overly hung up on George W. whom lacks sufficient intelligence and I’m not talking about the CIA deficiency.

“News coverage has pointedly stressed that W.'s month-long stay at his ranch in Crawford is the longest presidential vacation in 32 years. Washington Post supercomputers calculated that if you add up all his weekends at Camp David, layovers at Kennebunkport and assorted to-ing and fro-ing, W. will have spent 42 percent of his presidency ‘at vacation spots or en route.’” Charles Krauthammer, “A Vacation Bush Deserves,” The Washington Post, August 10, 2001.

He had a good month of vacation studying up on the lines he still butchered drawing the invisible link between 9/11 and Iraq.

America is on the forefront when it comes to combating disease. America has a war on nearly every front for that matter. We go to war with the dirt for not growing giant tomatoes in places nature didn’t intend for them to grow. We load our weapons of war, put up our Danger signs and effectively drown whole regions in fertilizer and pesticides. Which we all know eventually seeps into and contaminates our already poisoned, oops did I say poisoned, I meant fluoridated, water supply. This of course making us forever ill but hell that’s alright, because so and so just spent X billions of dollars getting the Federal Drug Administration to approve a new pill form of heroin to help ease our pain. We have a multi-billion dollar war on drugs (untaxed pharmaceuticals), terrorism, teen pregnancy, global warming, cancer, obesity and the list goes on.

We will never find cures for "diseases." Why? First off there is no money in cures, and secondly there is no such thing as disease only discomforts.

Have you ever noticed the little disclaimer on every herbal or supplement product? It commonly goes something like this, "These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease." Do you know why they must put this on the label? The FDA, that’s why. To claim that your remedy (drug) has the ability to do any of those things you must spend millions and sometimes billions trying to get FDA approval. Bristol-Myers Squibb has admitted to having spent over one billion dollars on developing a drug called Taxol. Taxol? Sounds like the IRS had a hand in choosing that name. I wonder who has more money, I mean power, I mean control, the FDA or the IRS, credit card companies or insurance companies, the Hulk or the Jolly Green Giant? My point is this; you will never see a cure for fatness or cancer. They are not diseases and you do not catch them, YOU CAUSE THEM! Your choices are the cause and also the cure of your discomfort. You should know your body better than some doctor who spent his daddy's fortune and the better part of a decade becoming an FDA approved state licensed drug pusher. Do you realize that there is no such thing as a true doctor of medicine? That’s right; you can only be a licensed practitioner of medicine. That means someone who has the legal right to "practice" or experiment rather, on humans. This is how they protect their asses from malpractice in court when they accidentally kill you while trying to help you.

Have you looked at the statistics on cancer in the last century? They are staggering! Why have the number of cancer related deaths gone up not down since we launched all out war on cancer? The American Cancer Society is to cancer as George W. is to terrorism. They both have spent billions of your dollars fighting fire with fire only to find that the problem is spreading, go figure. Radiation causes cancer but maybe nearly lethal doses kill cancer, hmmm. It’s interesting to note that the ACS is the wealthiest non-profitorganization in the world. Think about that next time you are at Safeway and the cashier asks you to donate to cancer.

The war on cancer like Vietnam and Iraqi Freedom were never meant to be won, only sustained. It is time the American people take another look around. If we claimed our responsibility back from the State then maybe we could afford health care in this country and by health care I mean emergency care. Hospitals and doctors kill more people than drunk driving each year and yet they continue to operate under the law. We need to let food by our medicine and live healthy active lifestyles free from drug pushing practitioners.  

When you are walking with a friend have you ever noticed how your steps begin to harmonize with one another? Walking one-in-other is more a propriety when walking and talking with Christ. 1 John 2:6 says, "Whoever claims to live in him must walk as jesus did." It is the path of righteousness through following Christ’s example and realizing your oneness with the father as Christ himself did. When you find him at the end of those footprints and synchronize your walk towards righteousness with Truth as an escort you will ask simply, is this right-eous or wrong? Remember, however, that all decisions are relative to your perception. So try to take into account others feelings and see if they are justified, otherwise you are making a decision you don’t agree with which qualifies as wrong in my opinion. The Bible is not a set of rules to follow; it tells us that keeping relationships healthy is most important. Some might say you can never be like Christ and I say to them never tell somebody to be like someone and turn around and say it is impossible. We need to teach our children from a coaching standpoint. A coach never says, the other team is bigger better and faster so do your best but you will never win. Believing in Christ is what the Bible says we need to do to overcome the world. So perhaps we should define the word believe when it is used in this context to mean BE LIVING in Christ. The faith in Christ it takes to overcome the world, which the Bible says is achievable, is not the golden ticket to heaven mentality many Christians seem to embrace. The Bible is clear about the lifestyle we ought to be embracing and I am pretty sure it’s radically opposed to our contemporary American view of what it means to be happy...also known as The American Dream. You’ll be surprised at the amount of injustice you unknowingly allow to transpire around you on a daily basis. The beginning of your lifelong divinity quest is by far going to be the most difficult on your newly found path. Expect to be bombarded by all of the skeletons in your closet that you think you hide so well and trust me, people know your stuff better than they know their own. That’s why Jesus said, "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matt. 7:3 You will answer to yourself, and others unfortunately, for all the things you’ve allowed inside and outside of you. You will find questions you never new you could ask and see the ones you haven’t yet dealt with. You will question your every motive and turn your focus toward changing your attitude and not so much on the changing of others. You will see family, friends and complete strangers in a whole knew light. The change in you will create a new world out of you. When you climb the ladder a rung higher than the rest of crowd you will see others like you who have laid down their lives to be a witness for the Truth. You will recognize them by their unique walk. They firmly walk in the light of their humility and stand for something worth dying for. They are the ones who put no weight on what the world might say about them even though they are a minority. It’s with this brotherhood that you will find strength, love, and accountability. It is miraculous the things you can achieve and the pressures you can withstand when you are wholly confident in your decisions. You must be quick to apologize with humbleness and sincerity when you have wronged another, and eager to forgive when you have been wronged. The carrying of judgments on your self or on others, which some call “demons,” will make you ill and halter growth. Jesus taught us about criticizing others when he said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Matt. 7:1 Darkness loves it when we spend much of our time trying to justify our negative thoughts toward others. The intolerance of others should be taken lightly but considered only so far as to strengthen or change your current stand. Never for one minute allow your ego to believe its right all the time about all things. Have your ethical core poured in concrete but remain pliable on matters possibly subject to change. There is always room for more knowledge and with more knowledge comes further understanding which then translates into wisdom (and by knowledge I mean information filtered through discernment). There will be those who are rungs above you on the ladder so remember that even though it’s great to see the world through fresh eyes, don’t stop to compare yourself with others. Don’t be surprised if the world hates you because He is in you, just remember that they first hated Him and it is through Him we have the strength to run this race. Be faithful unto death, keep your watch on the prize and be cautious not to stumble or cause others to stumble. ”Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.” 1 John 2:10 The Bible also gives ecclesiastical instruction on how you lovingly hold fellow brothers accountable for their actions. Until then, hold strong and be the salt to the world.

God bless.
