Only Sunshine


Rain in the right amounts and at the right time is what gives flowers to the earth, seed to the sower and bread to the eater (Isaiah 55:10For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:



See All...).



Jesus described the mercy and goodness of God when He stated that God made the sun to shine and the rain to fall on the just and on the unjust (Matthew 5:45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.



See All...). Too much sunshine or too much rain is destructive.



Some equate sunshine with happy and good times and rain with troubles or bothersome times. Our Creator knows that strong and good character develops when challenges are present and when we rise to meet those challenges. He has made us as we are purposely (Ecclesiastes 1:13And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.



See All...). Sunshine may be a time to relax, rejoice and recoup oneself, but it is also a time for work that cannot be done in the rainy season. Rain may be a time to let growth develop, but that too brings the need for work. Life needs periods of sunshine and rain to be fulfilling and complete. Appreciate that balance.

Wknd Box Office: Act of Valor, Wanderlust, Gone

Here is an interesting article from http://www.debbieschlussel.com/  reviewing some of the movies that came out over the past weekend. This follows this post some of the movies from last week and  THIS POST about some movies that have been released over the past few years that you might have missed!  This all  follows this post about guidelines to chosing good movies to watch yourself!

Wknd Box Office: Act of Valor, Wanderlust, Gone


By Debbie Schlussel



I can’t really recommend any of the new movies debuting in theaters, this weekend. But here’s what I saw:


* “Act of Valor“: You’ve probably already read my full review column on this trash.  What could have been a decent made-for-TV movie with real-life Navy SEALS trying their hands at acting, instead became an anti-Semitic diatribe in which the main terrorist financier and torturer of CIA agents is, not Muslim, but Jewish.  No thanks.  I’ve had enough Goebbels-quality cinema to last a century, but Leni Riefenstahl would be proud.  Read my complete review.



FOUR GOEBBELS PLUS A BIN LADEN AND AN ARAFAT





* “Wanderlust“: At times, this movie was extremely funny. And I give credit to any movie that makes funny of hippies, left-wing morons, animal rights activists, free love advocates, vegans, and other forms of New Age wacko-ism. This movie did all that and even exposed a hippie “leader”/”guru as a complete fraud and charlatan.






However, it went a little too far for me and was kinda gross. A baby being raised with its placenta still attached and at the table at dinner, all kinds of feces and bathroom jokes, and other assorted bathroom humor/eeuuw-inducing stuff–yuck! Ditto for a nudist’s penis in everyone’s face and scenes with lots of senior citizen nudists running around. It’s a sagging, disgusting scene I can’t get out of my mind. And the movie was more than a little annoying, which pretty much sums up how I feel about star Jennifer Aniston. She’s annoying, and she plays herself in every failed movie she does. It gets old. I’ve had enough of Rachel from “Friends,” still desperate to stay relevant years later.



Aniston and Paul Rudd play a New York couple who buy a “micro-loft,” which is a euphemism for tiny studio apartment that costs a fortune. But, right after that, Rudd loses his job and Aniston’s documentary about arctic penguins with testicular cancer doesn’t sell to HBO. They are broke and must move out of the apartment and seek work elsewhere, while staying at Rudd’s annoying rich brother’s house in suburban Atlanta. On the way, they get stuck at a “bed and breakfast” in the middle of nowhere, called Elysium. It turns out to be a hippie commune. And, after a brief time there, they decide to give the commune and hippie life a try, though Aniston is more into it than Rudd.



Being the only intelligent, normal, and sane person amidst these hippie nutcases is difficult for Rudd and the source of much of the movie’s comedy. But he’s pretty much the only likable person in the entire movie. Aniston’s character was selfish back in New York and she’s selfish at the commune. She’s the reason they were stuck in the commune in the first place. I, frankly, couldn’t understand why Rudd’s character didn’t quickly dump her, and I wanted him to. Wives like her are the reason a lot of men get into troubled scenarios like this.



Not my kind of movie and too much that is just plain gross. Plus the ending was cheesy and so very predictable.



ONE-AND-A-HALF MARXES






* “Gone“: This was not screened for critics, but like an idiot, I went to the Midnight show last night, so I could post a review of it for you, today. When will I learn that almost all of the movies not screened for us are crap? It’s the occasional good ones that keep making me enough of a sucker to go see the ones which have trailers that appeal to me. Sadly, the trailer is almost always a major league lie.



This was long, slow, boring, and stupid. It involves a cockamamie, uninteresting plot centering around Amanda Seyfried, who plays a victim of a serial killer that got away. She lives with her college-student sister in Portland, and is constantly looking to find the pit in the woods from which she escaped her attacker. The police believe she made the whole story up and there is no serial killer. But she believes the serial killer is watching her, so he can finally put her out of her misery. Her sister goes missing and she searches for the killer.



Believe me, when I tell you that the description makes it sound far more intriguing and exciting than it is. I struggled to stay awake because it was that bad.



Skipworthy to the max.



TWO-AND-A-HALF MARXES





Act of Valor OUTRAGE: Navy SEALs Movie’s Terrorist is . . . JEWISH (Tortures, Murders CIA Agents, Smuggles Jihadists into U.S.)

By Debbie Schlussel



It’s official: “Act of Valor” is anti-Semitic tripe wrapped in the American flag with a Navy SEAL cherry on top. The movie, which debuts in theaters today, goes to great pains to tell you that the largest terrorist plot against America is perpetrated by a Jew. Did the Stormfront guys write this crap? In case there’s any doubt, “But you’re Jewish!” is shouted by a real-life Navy SEAL interrogator who heads SEAL Team 7 featured in the movie and goes by the nickname, “Senior.” Apparently “Senior” forgot this, but the last time I checked, the guys behind 9/11 were not named Osama Bin Cohen and Khalid Sheikh Horowitz. Ditto for the guys behind every major terrorist attack against Americans, whether on U.S. soil or abroad. The Beirut bombing and murder of over 300 U.S. Marines and civilians? Here’s a tip, Navy SEALS: It wasn’t perpetrated by HezboLox&Bagels. And the guy just sentenced for trying to blow up a plane full of Americans with his underwear isn’t Umar Farouk AbdulEpstein.









But, apparently, the real life Navy SEALs and their wives and kids who participated in this movie don’t have a problem with portraying Jews as “jihadist terrorists,” nor do the many Pentagon officials who approved their participation and the movie’s production. Ditto for Mike “Mouse” McCoy and Scott Waugh, former stuntmen and the first time directors who made this movie. They apparently believe that Jews torture CIA agents and smuggle jihadists into the U.S. with suicide bomb vests, NOT Muslims.



The Pentagon and the Navy have both declined to respond to my questions regarding this absolutely disgusting display of anti-Semitism, which wasn’t necessary and ruined what would have been an otherwise good movie. They didn’t have to make the terrorist financier Jewish. They chose to. This was clearly gratuitously inserted for some agenda. Goebbels would be proud. Sad that Rush Limbaugh had no problem with this, either, as he gushed over the movie. Does he also believe the real men behind the jihadists are Russian Jews (or any Jews at all)?

There’s been a lot of hype surrounding “Act of Valor,” and, sad to say, I bought into it until I saw the movie and couldn’t have been more disgusted and outraged. But none of the hype tells you that at the heart of the movie is major anti-Semitism. Gee, I wonder why the “But You’re Jewish!” line isn’t in the trailer. The movie features a Russian Jewish millionaire, “Christos” (played by Ukrainian actor Alex Veadov) as a terrorist mastermind who kills a CIA agent, kidnaps and tortures another CIA agent, and then helps a friend of his smuggle jihadists wearing bomb belts into the United States from Mexico in a plot “100 times bigger than 9/11.” Um, how many Russian Jewish billionaires are illegal alien smugglers into America’s southern border? None. Juan and Jesus ain’t exactly Russian Jewish names. But why let the facts get in the way of this government-approved anti-Semitic propaganda, right?




That Was Then (Goebbels Propaganda Against Jews) . . .







This Is Now (Navy SEALs Propaganda Against Jews). . .







While it is true that his childhood friend, “Karimov,” whom he’s helping perpetrate the plot, says he’s a Muslim convert, he’s in fact, a Russian named Yuri, whose father’s name is Yevgeni and it isn’t so clear he’s actually really a Muslim. (Oh, and by the way, the writers of this ap-cray movie don’t know Arabic and screw that part up, too, as they name the guy “Abu Shabal,” and then have his friend tell him he’s the son of Yevgeni, not Shabal. Abu means “father of,” not “son of,” in Arabic.) In any event, the main bad guy is the Jewish millionaire who has his henchmen drill into the hands of a female CIA agent to get her to talk, after they’ve murdered her fellow agent. And the movie makes clear that real, actual Muslims from the Philippines, who’ve been recruited to wear suicide bomb vests and blow themselves up all over America, don’t really want to do it. After a scene showing them praying on the ground of a desert somewhere, they ultimately cry and look scared, as the Russian pseudo-Muslim friend of the Jew forces them into wearing the vests and pulling the cord.



Yeah, I know–it’s like another pointless, fraudulent season of the former FOX series, “24,” in which the Islamic terrorists always turn out to be working for some evil White man, not Muslims or jihad.



With the anti-Semitic plot point, the movie was ruined for me and I recommend that you skip it.



But it’s not just a movie. It’s a reminder that real-life Navy SEALs and top Pentagon and U.S. Navy brass have no problem with a plot portraying a Jew as the key terrorist in a jihadist plot, something that bears no resemblance to reality. If you wanna see a good movie about this outfit, rent “Navy SEALS.” No matter how un”winning” Charlie Sheen may be now, he at least had the guts to star in a movie in which the real terrorists (Islamic terrorists) are the terrorists–the way Hollywood used to show us back in the good old days of 1990 before we rewarded Muslims for 9/11.



To paraphrase the great Mark Twain, there are lies, damn lies, and “Act of Valor.” That’s the most damned lie of all.



Hey, who needs the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and blood libels, when you have Navy SEAL propaganda feature films?



There’s nothing valorous in Jew-baiting on the silver screen. Act of Valor isn’t an Act of Valor at all. Not even close.



***



Below is the e-mail I sent Amanda Greenberg, the Navy press person who is handling all inquiries regarding “Act of Valor.” And, yes, I see the irony in her apparently Jewish surname. But I’m sure you’ve heard the term, “kapo.” The e-mail went unanswered, after Navy personnel assured me she would respond. I encourage you to write her to complain about this vicious Jew-hatred.

Subject: Press Inquiry Re- “Act of Valor” Movie . . .

To: amanda.greenberg@navy.mil



Ms. Greenberg:



I’m a journalist (whose work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal

and New York Post and who has been quoted in almost every major media

outlet) and the movie critic for the SiriusXM Patriot Channel Morning

Show (“Mike Church Show”), and I have a few questions regarding “Act

of Valor.” I’m told by the Navy press office that you are handling

these inquiries. I’m on deadline and need this information by late

tonight, as I’m writing a review and will be discussing the film

tomorrow morning on SiriusXM, as well as another radio outlet.



Who at the Pentagon, US Navy or Navy SEALs was in charge of approving

“Act of Valor”?

Was the final product vetted?

Was the script vetted?

Was there no problem expressed or objections to the fact that the

script makes a Jewish billionaire the bad guy and the smuggler and

financier behind the major terrorism plot?

What is the position of whomever vetted and approved the final script, regarding anti-Semitism?

Can that person name a single major terrorist plot against America in

which Jews were involved?

I note your name is Greenberg. Does it not offend you that the major

players in the “jihadist” plot in this movie are not really Muslims,

but a Jew and a Russian who “converted”?

Are there any Jewish Navy SEALs?

How do you think it will affect Jewish Naval officers and enlisted

men, knowing that their branch of the U.S. Armed Forces believes that

Jews will be behind a major terrorist plot against America?



I look forward to your timely response. I can be reached at

[redacted], should you have any questions.



Thank you.



Debbie Schlussel



Again, Ms. Greenberg chose not to respond. Gee, I wonder why.



Don’t give money to blood libel movies like this that seek to turn America against the Jews using patriotism, the flag, and the Navy SEALs. This flick clearly earns its rating of . . .

10 Ways Obama Could Reduce Gasoline Prices Now




I'll hold my breath.


Posted by Steve Maley (Diary)



 Tulsa World headline:





Obama: No magic bullet to lower gas prices

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says there is no easy answer to the problem of rising energy prices, dismissing Republican plans to address the problem as little more than gimmicks.



“We know there’s no silver bullet that will bring down gas prices or reduce our dependence on foreign oil overnight,” Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address. …



Obama said Republicans have one answer to the oil pinch: Drill.



“You know that’s not a plan, especially since we’re already drilling,” Obama said, echoing his remarks earlier in the week. “It’s a bumper sticker.”



Speaking of bumper stickers, remember “Yes We Can”, Mr. President? No one understands the concept better than the oil and gas industry. The main thing holding domestic energy companies back from making a stronger commitment to future domestic supplies is uncertainty. Capital hates uncertainty, avoids it like the plague. Your rhetoric may appease your doctrinaire base, but it makes domestic energy producers hold back, fearful that you will punish their success, or that you will change the rules on them in the middle of the game.



Erasing uncertainty is the #1 thing you can do as a national leader if you truly desire to lower gasoline prices. Not only could it change the psychology of energy investing, there is still time for companies to change their 2012 investment plans.



Below the fold is my humble 10-point plan: Things President Obama could (but won’t) do to reduce domestic gasoline prices by November 2012.

1. Commit to a strategic goal of North American energy security. That includes reasonable and responsible domestic drilling. That includes taking the lead on the Keystone XL Pipeline; we could find a way to make it happen while addressing the legitimate environmental concerns of Nebraskans. It includes a commitment to maintaining the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System and opening ANWR.

2. Ditch the anti-industry, anti-capitalist rhetoric. It is not the President’s or the government’s place to decide when an industry’s profitability is “high enough”. High oil company profits fund more drilling; more drilling means more future supply and lower prices. Besides, American oil companies are not owned by a cabal of wealthy executives, but by America’s pension funds, mutual funds and private investment accounts. “They” are “us”.

3. Stop targeting the oil industry for punitive tax treatment. States such as Texas and Louisiana have production tax abatement programs that have successfully encouraged new drilling. If you don’t believe that the threat of increased taxes discourages drilling, just ask Governor Perry or Governor Jindal.

4. Realize that Uncle Sam is in the energy business and is a partner in industry’s success. Oil and gas royalties are the federal government’s #2 source of revenue, after the income tax. Offshore slowdowns hurt not only industry and jobs, but government revenue.

5. Recognize that industry does not need to be led by government; industry needs to be unleashed and encouraged to innovate. The resurgence of the domestic energy sector was rooted in the private sector, not matter how much President Obama and Dr. Chu would like to take credit for it. The growth in North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Texas happened in spite of the federal government, not because of it.

6. Trust that no oil operator wants to be the “next BP”. The BP spill cost that company something on the order of $40 billion. Industry safety and environmental commitment is motivated more out of self-interest and less out of fear of the government. When it comes to federal regulation, the nation would be better served by Sheriff Taylor, not Barney Fife.

7. Return offshore permitting to the pre-Macondo pace. Your overreaction to the BP Spill has cost on the order of 500,000 barrels per day of domestic oil production from the Gulf of Mexico. The ridiculous “Worst Case Discharge” calculation as a routine part of offshore permitting is engineering malpractice, in my humble opinion. The professional staff of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement is capable of reasoned regulation, but they currently operate in fear of their political masters.

8. Declare hydraulic fracturing & well design to be the regulatory domain of the states, not the EPA. Geology and environment vary widely; Pennsylvania is not Louisiana is not North Dakota is not California. It is insanity to think that one broadly-applied set of rules can be applied to regulate industry without suffocating development.

9.  Rescind the recently-enacted royalty rate increase for new onshore Federal oil and gas leases. Secretary Salazar’s stated rationale for increasing the government’s take by a whopping 50% – from 12.5% to 18.75% of gross production – was to equate onshore royalties with the offshore royalty rate. That makes no sense. Higher royalties mean less drilling, poorer economics of production and premature abandonment of wells. Besides, an IHS-CERA Study recently showed that the federal government’s total take of offshore cash flows makes the Gulf of Mexico the second-most punitive fiscal regime in the world, after Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela. [Update: In keeping with the First Rule of Holes, rolling back the royalty rate increase may be the first thing the government should do if it is serious about reducing energy prices. - Ed.]

10. Encourage development of a nationwide distribution system of natural gas as a transportation fuel. Natural gas is clean, abundant and nearly 100% domestic. Its potential as a transportation fuel has scarcely been tapped.



Bonus #11: Get real about the promise of alternative fuels. Recently you said: “You’ve got a bunch of algae out there; If we can figure out how to make energy out of that, we’ll be doing alright.” Maybe so, but I will stick my neck out and say it ain’t gonna happen, at least not in my lifetime, not on a scale that will impact pump prices.



Energy policy will be a President Obama’s key vulnerability in November. His goal has always been to encourage alternative fuels by raising conventional energy prices. Alternative energy may poll well, but the average voter who fills his tank with $4+ gas on the way to the ballot box will certainly “Hope for Change”.

Why Are the Big Issues Not Being Discussed?

Why Are the Big Issues Not Being Discussed?


A commentary by Melvin Rhodes




The Bible warns of economic consequences when a nation's citizens turn away from God.



I was sitting in downtown Accra, Ghana's capital, talking to a resident of the city whom I've known for almost thirty years. He was telling me that he had won the lottery. Not the national lottery that would have given him millions of extra Ghana cedis to spend, but rather the U.S. immigration lottery. This meant that he and his family could now enter the United States legally and that he would be given a green card.



It was disclosed a few months ago that since September 11, 2001 more than ten million new people have moved to the United States, both legally and illegally. That adds more than one million people per year. Some enter because of family connections, others because they have skills needed in the United States, still others because they are refugees or victims of persecution in their own lands. Many enter as students and never leave. The immigration lottery is another opportunity to enter the United States—one in which anybody can enter his name.



I asked my friend what he hoped to do when he arrived in America. He told me that Ghanaians will do jobs that Americans won't do! I told him that my son who has a business degree is now cleaning apartments and offices since losing his job a few months ago. I also mentioned that I've frequently been waited on in restaurants by people who have a masters degree but can't find a job. He was shocked at hearing this.



Another Ghanaian explained to me that all who enter the United States are expected to support family members back home by sending back a significant part of their earnings. Billions of dollars leave the United States annually in support of overseas family members.







Shortly after I returned home, I heard that the number of people who have lost their jobs since the beginning of this year is over 600,000.



It's time somebody did the math. With over 600,000 jobs already lost and unlikely to be replaced due to economic concerns plus almost 1.5 million new immigrants (including children) every twelve months, we could have well over a million extra people in the job market by the end of this year. And this assumes that the immigrants who have come to the United States in previous years all have jobs!



As job uncertainty increases you would think that by now this massive annual influx of immigrant workers would be a major national issue. But it isn't.



After returning to the United States, I was struck by how consistent our national media is in not highlighting these major issues facing this country—whether immigration, legal as well as illegal, or the growing federal deficit, which may worsen with the bailout of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.



The way the U.S. government will likely come up with the funds to save those two gigantic lending institutions is by printing more money or by borrowing more money, which increases America's indebtedness to other nations.



It all sounds like crazy economics to me!



But the basic problem is spiritual! When people forsake God they cannot see anything clearly. As more American citizens lose their jobs, often replaced by cheaper imported labor, and the country progressively increases its indebtedness to other nations, Americans will increasingly lose out just as God anciently predicted they would as a consequence of their turning away from Him.



Isaiah's appraisal of ancient Judah was: "The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faints. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it …" (Isaiah 1:5-6 [5] Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

[6] From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.





See All...). The Bible warns that this will be the case for nations whose citizens turn away from God.



Deuteronomy 28 contains a warning applicable to the modern descendants of Israel who settled much of the United States. In the first part of the chapter, promises are made for obedience. Included in them is the promise: "You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow" (verse 12). This was the case for many decades, both in ancient Israel and in modern America.



Later on in the chapter this warning is given as a consequence of citizens turning away from God: "The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head and you shall be the tail" (verses 43-44).

CNN: Americans Oppose Obama HHS Mandate 50-44 Percent

An interesting story from http://www.lifenews.com/ showing the views on the HHS mandate. This follows this previous post about the Obamacare contraceptive and abortion mandate. For more that you can do to get involved click  HERE and you can also get a very interesting book HERE!

CNN: Americans Oppose Obama HHS Mandate 50-44 Percent


A new poll released today by CNN indicates half of Americans oppose the new mandate pro-abortion President Barack Obama put in place that requires religious employers to pay for birth control or drugs that can cause abortions.



Interviews with 1,026 adult Americans conducted by telephone by ORC International on February 10-13 for CNN asked, “As you may know, the Obama administration has announced a new policy concerning health insurance plans provided by employers, including religious organizations, and how they handle birth control and contraceptive services for women. Based on what you have read or heard, do you approve or disapprove of this policy?”



The results show 50 percent disapprove with the new Obama mandate while 44 percent of Americans support it and 6 percent are undecided. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/02/16/cnn-americans-oppose-obama-hhs-mandate-50-44-percent/

World News and Trends: Rape crisis in South Africa






article by Good News Editor





Reports from Johannesburg say a woman is raped every 17 to 28 seconds in South Africa. According to Interpol, these statistics make South Africa the rape capital of the world.



Said Time magazine: "In 1998 the official South African rate was 104.1 rapes per 100,000 people; in the U.S., the rate was 34.4 per 100,000." However, rape researchers say only one in 35 rapes in South Africa is reported, which if accurate renders the situation far more critical than the official figures indicate.



David Jones, reporting from Johannesburg, closes his Daily Mail feature article with good advice for the government: "For the sake of every South African woman—whatever her colour—the leaders of this nation, in many ways so potent with promise, must address their growing humanitarian scandal with considerable urgency."



The Bible takes an even more serious view. "... For just as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter" (Deuteronomy 22:26But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:



See All...). The context makes it clear that the subject under discussion is rape (verses 25, 27). To God, rape is as serious a crime as murder because it destroys something that can never be replaced. (Sources: The Daily Mail [London], Time .)

Reelect Congressman Allen West

As a candidate, LTC Allen West energized the Tea Party movement across the country by offering common sense solutions with a powerful voice. As a Congressman, Allen West has continued to lead with both his voice and actions. Did you know that Rep. West authored a bill that cut the bloated Pentagon printing budget by 10%, and it passed by a vote of 393 – 0? This accomplishment is especially remarkable when you take into account that freshman legislators usually lack the seniority and relationships to pass bills through the labyrinth of congressional procedure. Rep. West continues his long history of public service and leadership; no wonder the Democrats are targeting him.






Democrats only like racial diversity when the candidate is a “good liberal.” They have relentlessly attacked Justice Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, and other conservative members of racial minorities, and Rep. West is no exception. Instead of applauding his record of achievement, liberals have labeled him an “Uncle Tom” and made his defeat priority #1 in 2012. With uncertainty about redistricting and the make-up of his district, Rep. West is one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the entire country. We will not allow the liberal political machine to defeat one of our heroes!





To assist Congressman West we have purchased the domain http://www.allenwestdefensefund.com/ and will run an aggressive independent expenditure campaign on his behalf. We are limited to making a $5,000 direct contribution to his campaign, but we can spend an unlimited amount of money on advertisements in his district and organizing a powerful Get-Out-The-Vote campaign. We have made this race one of our highest priorities in 2012, and we know that with your support LTC Allen West will return to Congress in 2013 and continue his exemplary record of achievement!





To get this campaign off the ground, we need to raise at least $25,000 this week!  Please help us by making a contribution of whatever you can afford. But if we are going to raise the money we need, we are asking that those of you who can afford a larger contribution join our Patriot Contributor or Hero Contributor lists.  Everyone who makes a contribution of at least $100 will be listed on AllenWestDefenseFund.com as a Patriot Contributor, and anyone who makes a contribution of $500, $1000, $2500, or even $5000, will be listed on the front page of AllenWestDefenseFund.com as a Hero Contributor.





The elections in 2012 will decide whether the disastrous policy known as ObamaCare becomes permanent. Our opposition is filling their coffers with taxpayer handouts from a corrupt administration, while we depend on the generosity and sacrifices from patriots just like you! We understand that every dollar contributed represents a sacrifice, and we remain honored and humbled by your generous support. You can make your generous contribution by clicking –HERE–

Somalia: Al-Shabaab abducting African teenage girls to "marry" jihadists

Somalia: Al-Shabaab abducting teenage girls to "marry" jihadists


Actually, that's called rape, not marriage. But the Qur'an provides for sexual relations with "those whom your right hands possess," whether they are already married or not (4:24).



Don't like it? Don't blame us. We didn't write it, and we're not the ones acting on it. Direct your outrage at those who are. "Al-Shabaab militia abducting teenage girls to marry fighters," by Alex Spillius for the Telegraph, February 21:



The report by Human Rights Watch also found that as fighting has intensified over the past two years, al-Shabaab has increasingly targeted boys as young as 10 for action on the frontline to join its dwindling ranks. Whole classrooms have been forced at gunpoint to leave school and fight. Researchers found that after several weeks of harsh training child recruits are sent for action where they often serve as "cannon fodder" to protect adult fighters.

Such intrepid, manly mujahedin.



"It is a new, disturbing pattern using children as human shields," said Laetitia Bader, one of the principal authors and researchers of the report.

Boys who escaped camps were either mown down or faced long and terrifying journeys to sanctuary elsewhere in Somalia or across the border in Kenya.



Girls who resisted capture can face the most appalling consequences, Human Rights Watch found. A 16-year-old girl who refused to marry an al-Shabaab commander who was three times her age was killed by his men and beheaded. Her head was brought back to the school as a warning to others.

Now would be as good a time as any to remind of the prevalence of infibulation -- the most severe form of female genital mutilation -- in Somalia, as if rape itself were not enough.



"They assembled all of the girls and said 'this is an example of what will happen if you misbehave'," a teacher at the school told Human Rights Watch, which conducted more than 160 interviews with Somali refugees for the report, No Place for Children.

A 19-year-old student from the Bakara district of the capital Mogadishu described how girls were taken from his school.



"Girls were taken at gunpoint. One girl said she could not go and al-Shabaab shot her in the forehead in front of my class. They said that she was a spy for the government. She was 19 years old," he said.



The forced marriage campaign by the al-Qaeda affiliate is part of its effort to impose its harsh version of Sharia on every aspect of the personal lives of women and girls, according to Human Rights Watch....Posted by Marisol

In Brief World News Review Zimbabwe a Crisis Torn Country






article by Cecil Maranville, Darris McNeely, John Ross Schroeder





Zimbabwe, a once prosperous African nation, is seriously short of food.



Zimbabwe, a once prosperous African nation, is seriously short of food, and its lack of fuel has brought industry to a standstill. The country's infrastructure is fraying badly at the edges with schools and hospitals struggling to survive. Most blame these humanly caused misfortunes on President Robert Mugabe's brutal regime.



As The Sunday Telegraph reported, "With the country's economy in tatters, thanks to years of misrule, Mugabe thought he had a guaranteed vote winner when his loyal constitutional panel drew up clause 57, to enshrine land confiscation and demand compensation for white farmers by [from] the old colonial power: Britain."



Zimbabwe's government was in shock after the people produced the courage to stand up to the regime by voting "no" in the recent constitutional referendum. Yet there are reports of the illegal occupation of quite a number of white-owned farms in spite of that national vote.



Moreover, the Zimbabwe dollar was worth 50 British pence when President Mugabe assumed power. It is now valued at 1.5 pence. And as The Independent on Sunday reported, "Every week 1,200 Zimbabweans die of AIDS and life expectancy since 1980 has fallen from 59 to 42."



A beautiful country has apparently been laid waste and many of British descent are applying for passports at the British High Commission in the nation's capital, Harare, preparing to emigrate. ( The Sunday Telegraph, The Independent on Sunday, The Daily Mail (all London).)

Reverse Racism




By Thomas Sowell



































http://www.JewishWorldReview.com
Among those who have been disappointed by President Barack Obama, none is likely to end up so painfully disappointed as those who saw his election as being, in itself and in its consequences, a movement toward a "post-racial society."



Like so many other expectations that so many people projected onto this little-known man who suddenly burst onto the political scene, the expectation of movement toward a post-racial society had no speck of hard evidence behind it — and all too many ignored indications of the very opposite, including his two decades of association with the egregious Reverend Jeremiah Wright.



Those people of good will who want to replace the racism of the past with a post-racial society have too often overlooked the fact that there are others who instead want to put racism under new management, to have reverse discrimination as racial payback for past injustices.



Attorney General Eric Holder became a key figure epitomizing the view that government's role in racial matters was not to be an impartial dispenser of equal justice for all, but to be a racial partisan and an organ of racial payback. He has been too politically savvy to say that in so many words, but his actions have spoken far louder than any words.



The case that first gave the general public a glimpse of Attorney General Holder's views and values was one in which young black thugs outside a voting site in Philadelphia were televised intimidating white voters. When this episode was broadcast, it produced public outrage.



Although the Department of Justice's prosecution of these thugs began in the last days of the Bush administration, and the defendants had offered no legal defense, the case was dropped by the Justice Department after Eric Holder took over. One of the lawyers who were prosecuting that case resigned in protest.



That lawyer — J. Christian Adams — has now written a book, titled "Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department." It is a thought-provoking book and a shocking book in what it reveals about the inner workings of the Department of Justice's civil rights division.



Bad as the Justice Department's decision was to drop that particular case, which it had already won in court, this book makes painfully clear that this was just the proverbial tip of the iceberg.



Despite the efforts of some in the media and in politics to depict the voter intimidation in Philadelphia as just an isolated incident involving a few thugs at one voting place, former U.S. Attorney Adams shows that these thugs were in fact part of a nationwide organization doing similar things elsewhere.



Moreover, the civil rights division of the Justice Department has turned the same blind eye to similar voter intimidation and corruption of the voting process by other people and other organizations in other cities and states — so long as those being victimized were white and the victimizers were black.



This is all spelled out in detail, naming names and naming places, not only among those in the country at large, but also among those officials of the Justice Department who turned its role of protecting the civil rights of all Americans into a policy of racial partisanship and racial payback.



The widespread, organized and systematic corruption of the voting process revealed by the author of "Injustice" is on a scale that can swing not only local but national elections, including the 2012 elections. The Department of Justice under Attorney General Eric Holder has not only turned a blind eye to blatant evidence of voter fraud, it has actively suppressed those U.S. Attorneys in its own ranks who have tried to stop that fraud.



Even in counties where the number of votes cast exceeds the number of people legally entitled to vote, Eric Holder's Justice Department sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil — if the end result is the election of black Democrats. It has become the mirror image of the old Jim Crow South.



This is an enormously eye-opening book which makes painfully clear that, where racial issues are concerned, the Department of Justice has become the Department of Payback. A post-racial society is the last thing that Holder and Obama are pursuing.

South Sudan - pray for peace for world's newest African nation

A timely from http://www.releaseinternational.org/ about the world's newest nation, which is in Africa and in which the Black Africans are harrassed by Arab Muslims.

Sudan - pray for peace for world's newest nation


Jul 08 2011



Release International is calling for prayer for a peaceful transition as South Sudan prepares to become the world’s newest nation at midnight (2100 GMT).



‘The birth of this nation will be a challenging time for Christians in both the North and South of Sudan,’ says Andy Dipper, CEO of Release International, a ministry to persecuted Christians. ‘Please join them in their prayers that the move to independence will pass peacefully and this new nation will be able to stand on its feet.’



As the mainly Arab and Muslim North prepares to implement strict Sharia law, some observers fear Christians will be forced to leave, precipitating a humanitarian crisis. Oxfam has called on the UN Security Council to ensure civilians are protected.



There are reasons for concern. The governor of North Kordofan has declared a jihad – holy war – against the Nuba people, many of whom are Christians and fought with southern rebels during Sudan’s long-running civil war.



And in South Kordofan, the Bishop of Kadugli, Andudu Adam Elnail, has warned of possible ‘genocide’ against Christians. Islamist militias there have been accused of bombing churches and Christian homes and killing at least two Christians.



According to the UN upwards of 1,400 people have been killed in South Sudan so far this year. That’s more than in the whole of 2010. The BBC estimates 170,000 have fled their homes.



From midnight on Friday local time (9pm GMT), South Sudan will officially become an independent nation – after 99 per cent of southerners voted to split from the north in January’s referendum.



The ballot was a condition of the 2005 peace deal which ended more than two decades of civil war between the mainly Arab and Muslim north and the predominantly Christian and animist south. An estimated two million people died in the conflict.



Christians in the north remain apprehensive about the future if Sudan’s President, Omar al-Bashir fulfils his pledge to introduce strict Islamic law in the north after tomorrow.



As recently as May, Compass Direct news agency reported that a Christian couple in the northern capital, Khartoum, were attacked with knives for leaving Islam.



Ongoing conflict in oil-rich border areas – such as South Kordofan and Abyei – remains a serious concern too. South Kordofan will be part of North Sudan as of tomorrow but is home to many pro-south communities, especially in the Nuba Mountains.



A referendum in Abyei for residents to decide whether to join south or north has been delayed over issues of ‘voter eligibility’, says the BBC. The UN Security Council sent UN peacekeepers to patrol the area last month, where tensions remain high.



Another threat to stability is the long-standing tribal and military divisions in the South, where there are upwards of ten rival militia groups. The challenge for the new government will be to disarm thousands of fighters who have known little but war, and return them to civilian life.



‘Nation-building will be a huge task for this under-developed country,’ says Andy Dipper of Release. ‘And stability will be essential for South Sudan to get firmly on its feet.



‘Please pray for peace in both North and South as the country divides. Pray particularly for Christians living in the North as it prepares to introduce Sharia law. Pray that their religious freedom will be respected.



‘Ask God to guide and grow the church in South Sudan and to raise up strong leaders in both church and politics to shape this new nation.’



Through its international network of missions Release supports Christians imprisoned for their faith and their families in 30 nations. It supports church workers, pastors and their families, and provides training, Bibles, Christian literature and broadcasts. Release is a member of the UK organisations Global Connections and the Evangelical Alliance.

Unrest in Kenya


by Darris McNeely Submitted January 4, 2008

This update was prepared by John Elliot, our senior pastor for Kenya. He gives details UCG members in Kenya: For a news update check this NYTimes article .



Thank you for your concern for our members in Kenya during the ongoing turmoil there. I won't comment on the various news reports which can be viewed online.



Today's editorial "Comment" in the excellent Daily Nation newspaper begins..."Our beloved country, the Republic of Kenya, is a burnt-out, smouldering ruin. The economy is at a virtual standstill and the armies of destruction are on the march... It is unbelievable foolishness for Kenyans to destroy their economy, their homes and their entire way of life in the name of politics and on behalf of people whose lives of comfort and luxury are going on normally." www.nationmedia.com/dailynation



Kenya is home to 700 UCG brethren who attend Sabbath services throughout the country each week. Tribal clashes, which are uncommon here but not rare, are typically fueled by political maneuvering. A little background to the current situation will help provide context for events of the past week.



In 1963 Kenya gained independence from Britain and its first elected leader was Jomo Kenyatta. Mr. Armstrong visited Mr. Kenyatta as well as his eventual successor, Daniel Arap Moi (picture in photo). Mr. Moi began his presidency well. Soon however, those with power and opportunity sucked the country dry of both its financial resources and the aid coming in to help its needy citizens. In 2001 Mwai Kibaki ran for president on promises of ending corruption and won by a landslide. However, governmental corruption at all levels has continued to increase. While members of Parliament are paid salaries equal to that of the President of the USA, plus huge sums for humanitarian projects for their constituencies, local citizens are left to fend for themselves.



In the run up to last week's presidential election, a flamboyant Raila Odinga from the Luo tribe promised all Kenyans a sharing of the financial resources and an end to corruption. Hopes were raised among the masses for an enhanced standard of living. But, reported vote tampering returned the incumbent president to power who is from the Kikuyu tribe. Emotions raged between gun wielding police and angry Lou and other tribal peoples. Then ethic retaliations flared up against Kikuyus everywhere. In a country where owning weapons is outlawed, killings are mostly done with crude weapons and fire. The news has been filled with such atrocities.



Phone calls and e-mails between me and some of our leaders in East Africa indicate that all of our brethren have been spared physical loss. However, the tensions and emotional strains are present as they live among a frustrated and sometimes lawless society. In some cases, church services had to be cancelled for the safety of our members.

Obtaining food in areas that experienced drought has become even more complicated and expensive. Deacon John Otieno from the Luo town of Migori spoke of twelve killed there one day and another four the next. He wrote today, "I found that most of the local members are starving and did not have even anything to buy food, so I did manage to withdraw some funds from the church account in town on Monday when there was little bit calm." Kisumu, Kenya's third largest city was essentially gutted by looters and will take months to restore. Deaths and violence have crisscrossed the entire nation.



Antonio Ndung'u, our office manager in Nairobi, told me by telephone that he has been in touch with the other deacons and several local leaders every day. All the brethren are okay. The only close call we have heard of was member Josiah living in the Eldoret area who manned a lookout on top of his house to watch for the thousands of attackers, some of whom burned a church with 35 women and children inside. Antonio rallied the church leadership to remind the brethren they serve not to become polarized or involved in political or tribal matters. "This is a matter that we have no control over as Church members and we belong to the future Kingdom of God, not the local government," he said.



Your prayers for peace in the region are appreciated to enable safety for the membership and to permit the work of God in East Africa to continue to flourish. A first-ever meeting with Bible Study Course graduates in Ethiopia is planned for April when Ed Dowd and I visit the region. A stable environment would certainly benefit everyone.

It's Hard To Be a Racist












By Walter Williams



http://www.jewishworldreview.com/
Years ago it was easy to be a racist. All you had to be was a white person using some of the racial epithets that are routinely used in song and everyday speech by many of today's blacks. Or you had to chant "two, four, six, eight, we don't want to integrate" when a black student showed up for admission to your high school or college. Of course, there was that dressing up in a hooded white gown. In any case, you didn't have to be sophisticated to be a racist.



Today all that has changed. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., pointed that out back in 1994 when the Republican-led Congress pushed for tax relief. Rangel denounced Republicans' plan as a form of modern-day racism, saying, "It's not 'spic' or 'nigger' anymore. (Instead,) they say, 'Let's cut taxes.'" That means the simple use of the N-word is not enough to make one a racist. If it were, blacks would be the nation's premier racists. Today it's the call for tax cuts that makes you a racist. That's why the "tea" party, short for "taxed enough already," is nothing more than organized racists. What makes tea partyers even more racist is their constant call for the White House and Congress to return to the confines of the Constitution.



Racism has other guises. Say that you're a believer in Martin Luther King's wish, expressed in his "I Have a Dream" speech, that our "children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." The call to judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin is really code for racism. There's no question about one's racial antipathy if he voted for measures such as California's Proposition 209, Michigan's Proposal 2, Washington state's Initiative 200 or Nebraska's Civil Rights Initiative 424. These measures outlaw judging people by the color of their skin for admission to college, awarding of government contracts and employment. The call for equal treatment is simply racism by stealth and is far more insidious than name-calling and hood-donning.



One might think that seeing as America elected its first black president, it would usher in the end of racism; but it's all a racist plot that's easily uncovered simply by asking: "Who really elected Obama to the presidency?" It surely wasn't black people. Of the 69 million votes that Obama received in the 2008 election, I doubt whether even 7 or 8 million came from blacks. That means white people put Obama in office, and that means he is beholden to white people, not black people.



You say, "Williams, that's preposterous! What's your evidence?" Just look at the unemployment statistics. White unemployment is 8 percent, and black unemployment is double that, at 17 percent, and in some cities, black unemployment is near 30 percent. It's gotten so bad under Obama's presidency that New York's Urban Justice Center has appealed to the United Nations Human Rights Council for help. But Obama's tired of black complaints. Obama told the Congressional Black Caucus to "Stop whining!" "Take off your bedroom slippers; put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining; stop grumbling; stop crying." This kind of talk is unprecedented. Just ask yourself: "When have I ever heard a Democratic or a Republican leader talk this way to his party's strongest supporters? Would Obama tell Jews to stop whining about Israel? Would he tell unions to stop grumbling about card check? Would he tell feminists, if they were complaining about sex discrimination, to shake it off?"



This kind of political treatment of blacks should not be surprising, because black people are a one-party people in a two-party system. That means Democratic politicians have learned to take the black vote for granted, and Republicans make little effort to get it. That's not smart for blacks to set themselves up that way.

Nigeria appeal: Emergency appeal for victims of extremist attacks in Nigeria

Nigeria appeal



Emergency appeal for victims of extremist attacks in Nigeria





We are encouraged to learn that, while violence by the extremist group Boko Haram is continuing, the crisis in Nigeria has not developed to the extent feared. Christians who fled their homes as a result of recent militant atrocities have been helped by local churches and by the authorities and some from Yobe state are now even returning to their homes.



The situation, however, remains desperate so funds are still needed to provide vital support.



‘Praise God that local churches and the Nigerian state stepped in to help those who had fled their homes but the situation is still critical,’ our partner, Mark Lipdo, of Stefanos Foundation, told us on February 16. ‘Twelve Christians, eight from one church, in Maiduguri, were killed on Monday; in that place alone there are 142 families bereaved since June 2011 who are still needing trauma counselling.’



As well as counselling for victims of the violence and medical help, financial aid is also needed for those who have lost the family breadwinner.



On top of this Stefanos is also needing to prepare for the effects of further violence. ‘We are planning to have to deal with 25 major incidents in northern Nigeria this year,’ he said. ‘So far more than 100 Christians have been killed since the start of 2012.’



Thank you so much for your practical compassion for persecuted Christians!

American Victory: Alabama's unemployment falls due to illegal immigration law‏

A very interesting post from http://www.alipac.us/ about Alabama's unemployemnt rate dropping. This follows this post about Congress finally looking into Obama's amnesty done by not enforcing existing laws. This follows this post about the new congressional districts in Texas being redrawn so that the new seats favor the Democratic party in a Republican state. This follows this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants such as the 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso, where President Barack Obama recently bashed immigration enforcement! For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and you can read a very interesting book HERE!

And Remember when contacting public officials to please be firm but respectful. Any over the top messages could result in law enforcement action against you. Just let these politicians know that you are aware of what they have done and that you intend to remove them from office in the 2012 elections.

American Victory: Alabama's unemployment falls due to illegal immigration law‏



Friends of ALIPAC,




We are hopeful the US Supreme Court will rule in our favor on Arizona's legendary SB 1070 illegal immigration crackdown laws that so many of us have worked so hard to pass and protect. Their decision is coming in April and a win for our team could lead to an avalanche of state legislation for our team IF we are organized, prepared, and ready to roll.



We now have news out of Alabama that can be a real game changer! It appears that the unemployment rate in Alabama has fallen dramatically in response to the passage of their law similar to Arizona's.



Alabama's example and victory can only benefit our cause if enough of you will take one hour this week to do the following. Taking the following steps will greatly increase the chances a similar law will pass in your state.



Simply send the following note and article to as many, if not all, of your state lawmakers as possible. Locating the contact information for your state is a simple as going to Yahoo.com and typing in "(your state name + Legislature)



Then you need to personalize each call and email. No, ALIPAC does not have a website where you can go do it all with a few clicks of your mouse. While this makes donors feel great, overly simplified and mechanized activism has very little impact on lawmakers because everyone is using the bulk activism software now and state lawmakers and staff tune most of the bulk communications out. We want you to participate, but please do not send us e-mails asking us to create a system where you can do this work with a few mouse clicks.



SAVING YOUR STATE FROM INVASION WILL TAKE WORK.



Send your own distinct version of this message, along with the article to all of your state lawmakers.



"Representative/Senator _______ I am calling/writing to ask you to support a version of Alabama's law here in our state! As you can see in the article I have provided, Alabama's unemployment rate is falling dramatically in response to their state level illegal immigration control law. We need to provide immediate jobs to American workers here in our state. I look forward to seeing a version of this bill passed here soon."



Article to share

Alabama’s state illegal immigration law cuts unemployment for American workers again!



http://www.alipac.us/content/alabama%92s-illegal-immigration-law-cuts-unemployment-american-workers-again-187/





Remember to call to speak with lawmakers, staff, and voicemail first then send in copies of your personalized message via email, fax, and letters.



We need state lawmaker offices across America to receive NUMEROUS copies of this article and REQUESTS FOR ACTION.



There are 40,000 of you on the ALIPAC email alert list. Your activism in the past has been legendary and has made the difference in many battles.



Now, let's get everyone out there moving and use this powerful information about the unemployment rate in Alabama to politically destroy the illegal alien invasion supporters state by state!

World News and Trends- Crime and sexual freedom: a relationship?

An interesting article from www.ucg.org about crime and promiscuity. This follows this post about the problems like unemployment that America has. For a free magazine subscription or to get this book for free click HERE! or call 1-888-886-8632.


World News and Trends- Crime and sexual freedom: a relationship?






article by John Ross Schroeder, Scott Ashley





Does male teenage promiscuity have anything to do with rising crime rates?



According to a report by the Institute of Economic Affairs in Britain, it does. Newspaper coverage in The Independent showed that "the freedom of young men to engage in sexual intercourse without being powerfully restrained by the pressure to become monogamous husbands or fathers is closely linked to crime."



A similar article in The Observer reluctantly agreed that "it is ludicrous to deny the relationship between fatherlessness and crime. The areas of high unemployment, highest lone parenthood and worst crime are coterminous."



The report's author, Norman Dennis, maintained that cultural mechanisms that once sent messages of "responsibility, striving, self-help and self-improvement" to the next generation have broken down.



American historians Will and Ariel Durant understood this principle well. "A youth boiling with hormones will wonder why he should not give full freedom to his sexual desires," they wrote; "and if he is unchecked by custom, morals or laws, he may ruin his life before he matures sufficiently to understand that sex is a river of fire that must be banked and cooled by a hundred restraints if it is not to consume in chaos both the individual and the group."



Undeniable, yet often overlooked, is the relationship between the biblical commandments against promiscuity in thought, word and deed and those forbidding the crimes of stealing and murder. The apostle James noted this connection: "For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all" (James 4:10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.



See All...).



The adulterer steals affection that belongs to another. The news and entertainment media regularly bear out that sexual promiscuity can lead even to murder. Both Old and New Testaments command us to love our neighbor by refraining from these illicit acts that enslave and to diligently teach our children to follow this royal law of liberty (verse 12). (Sources: The Independent; The Observer ; Will and Ariel Durant, The Lessons of History , Simon & Schuster, New York, 1968, pp. 35-36.)
