From: “I’m As Mad As Hell and I’m Not Going To Take It Anymore” In The Spirit Of ’76 – To: “We Have Had It” In The Spirit of ’11


As the struggle to make ends meet, feed our families, keep a roof over our heads, pay for a rising cost of living, with stagnant or falling income, forces and pressures are building that are making more and more people  feel like Mr. Beale, “I’m as mad as Hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore” from the 1976 movie ‘Network.’

The words Mr. Beal spoke in 1976 were prophetic and Timeless, and are just as True for the realities of Today

Powerful and rich Mr. Jensen delivers his ‘corporate cosmology’ to the Mad Prophet of the Airways in the link below. Only with the benefit of hindsight can we see the 1976 movie was prophetic and current for our Time 36 years later as the world wakes up to see and realize the Global Corporatocracy that has consolidated power and control over every material aspect in the lives of the people-consumers of this world.

Unawares to me, earlier that Saturday, March 5, before I uploaded this report later that night, Michael Moore spoke to the Protesters in Madison, Wisconsin.

His speech contained similar themes to those in this 1976 movie ‘Network.” At the 19 minute mark he had the crowd chanting, “We have had it” a thought very similar to “I’m as mad as Hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.”

I was happy to discover the Michael More video the next day, as in the Spirit transcending National boundaries, Space and Time.

This article was the lead paragraphs in the article  ‘TV & POPULAR CULTURE: IDOLS, ADVERTISING AND UNREAL REALITY’ posted on March 5.

This Blog, being a work in progress, I thought it better to separate that  article which was much too long for a Society accustomed to 30 second sound bytes, with attention deficit disorder to greater or lessor degrees, and give it a new current title.

The following video from the 70’s is strong evidence the more things change, the more they remain the same.

 

 

CanaDa

Happy CanaDa Day!
On New Year’s Eve 2008, I wrote to The Prime Minister with the vision I see for CanaDa, and I was pleased to receive this personal reply his 1st Day back on the job in the New Year of the Lord 2009.

On the occasion of CanaDa’s 144th Birthday, it is Time to share this vision I see as our National Destiny in the Future.

A MARI USQUE AD MARI was taken from the Psalms of David 72:8: ‘He shall have Dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth’ for we Canadians still struggling on The Plains of Abraham in The Dominion of CanaDa Today.

From St. John’s Newfoundland & St. John New Brunswick, to Quebec in the Spirit of John The Baptist, to Victoria, British Columbia, to Whitehorse in the Yukon and the True North, we have inherited a vast and rich land Blessed by God.

CanaDa is a very special place that has brought  people here from every Nation on earth to build a new representative model of Democracy and Freedom for the world together on The Plains of Abraham.

The world is at war with itself while the Old World Order is in rapid decline as the Prophets said it would be at the End of the Age.

We have a place where diverse cultures, languages and Faiths can live in relative Peace and Harmony as the Family of Man and Children of God.

I think Canadians from every Nation on Earth, including every Muslim I met
or worked with, embody most of the positive characteristics so many of you
have articulated here. I also think Canadians have a fate or destiny or
calling or whatever other similar word one could use. As I´ve stated in
other topics, the fact our National Unity struggle is rooted in the
Plains of Abraham, I see as a material representation of a Spiritual
reality that is not yet seen, realized and actualized.

Being the only Monarchy at the Top of the Americas in the New World, I see
as a material representation of the Spiritual reality of the
Kingdom of Christ the King, the example to the rest of the World as we enter the time of trial and tribulation.

The Canadian Coat of Arms A MARI USQUE AD MARE comes from a Psalm of David mentioned above & below. So far I have been alone believing this, and I can´t just snap my fingers and make it a reality. I view these material things we can see as Spiritual symbols and Signs of a special role God has in store for CanaDa.

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the
LORD, and set me down in the middle of the valley which was full of bones,
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many
in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered,
O Lord GOD, you know.

Again he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O you dry
bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones;
Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live: And I
will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you
with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know
that I am the LORD.

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise,
and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And
when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin
covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to
the wind, Thus says the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and
breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up
upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel:
behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost:
WE ARE CUT OFF FOR OUR PARTS.

Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, O my
people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves,
and bring you into the land of Israel.

And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my
people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in
you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land:
THEN shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, says
the LORD.

The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, Moreover, you son of man,
take one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel
his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph,
the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall be come one in
your hand.

And when the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you
not show us what you mean by these? Say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim,
and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him,
even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one
in my hand. And the sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before
their eyes.

And say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of
Israel from among the heathen, where they be gone, and will gather them on
every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one
nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king
to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be
divided into two kingdoms any more at all: (CanaDa/Quebec)

Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with
their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will
save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and
will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one
shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes,
and do them.

And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant,
wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they,
and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant
David shall be their prince for ever.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an
everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them,
and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle
also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be
my people.

And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my
sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Ezekiel 37

Dem Bones, Dry Bones or Dem Dry Bones is a well-known traditional spiritual song, used to teach basic anatomy to children, although its description is not anatomically correct. The melody was written by African-American author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938). Two versions of this traditional song are used widely, the second an abridgment of the first. The lyrics are based on Ezekiel 37:1-14, where the prophet visits the Valley of Dry Bones[1] and prophesies that they will become alive by God’s command. Wikipedia

Concerning the Old World Israel

Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Therefore say I to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.

Matthew 21:42-43

This means don´t just talk the talk, but walk the walk with the talk. Everything is possible with the Spirit of God.

Canada Cana Da

At the Marriage Feast at Cana, Jesus said to them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And he said to them, Draw out now, and bring it to the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not where it came from: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And said to him, Every man at the beginning does set out good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.

John 2:7-10

The Best is yet to come!!!

 

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

ANGELS TO THE RESCUE


The day after quitting my position of National Marketing Representative, Mining Division, Dominion Engineering Works Ltd. of Montreal, on February 1, 1975, I experienced a Spiritual awakening as unexpected and powerful to me as I imagine the conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus. I was just turning 30.

Before that Day, I was like most of the population. I never thought of God. I had no need of God and made no room for God in my Life. I had no Christian friends, and except for the Jehovah Witnesses and the Mormon Missionaries knocking on my door, never talked about God.

Seven months later, I had sold all my possessions, and with a backpack on my back, on September 1, 1975, leaving Country, family and friends in my Spiritual wake, headed into the United States to discover the Spirit of ´76.

Three days later I arrived in Trenton N.J., scene of the American Revolutionary War battle of Trenton on Christmas Day, 1776 and where Washington crossed the Delaware.

Leaving the downtown Bus Terminal at 1am, it was eerie to be on dark dreary streets with no moving cars or human life to be seen, all the shops having ugly iron barriers over the windows. I thought, ´Jesus, it looks like a Neutron Bomb was dropped and the wind blew all the dust away.´

The nuclear device called the Neutron Bomb, which American power developed from an idea and turned it into a reality, does not destroy the property, but releases enhanced dirty radiation into the atmospheres so only the People die a slow torturous death, with the loot left intact. These days the media just call it a dirty bomb.

Having no idea where I was going, I walked for blocks until I met a policeman on the beat, the 1st person I saw. Naturally stopping to talk, It eventually came out he was a Morman. While I was attempting to share God and Jesus, it seemed to me he couldn´t get beyond Joseph Smith. While our talk was friendly and civil, not being able to reach common understanding, I asked if he could direct me to a clean, cheap, comfortable Hotel?

Giving me explicit directions he then said, ¨But I wouldn´t go there if I were you.” Asking why not? he answered, ¨It´s right in the nigger district.” I replied that doesn´t bother me, as long as the Hotel is clean, cheap and comfortable and continued on The Way.

Following the directions, there was no human life to be seen as I walked down a very wide Boulevard. Across the street was a City Park that was the whole block, locked, with a high iron fence around it. I was told to turn left at the end of the park and the Hotel was at the end of that block.

From the wide Boulevard I turned onto a very narrow street. The park was on one side, with poor, modest housing facing it. There were trees every five feet on both sides of the street and all the branches joined in the middle. The entire block was a tunnel, with the only light at the end of the tunnel appearing to be far away.

I was about a quarter way through when I heard sound behind me. Turning back, two young Black guys were quickly coming toward me. Stopping in place, as they got closer, I spoke first, saying, ¨I´m glad to see you guys. What´s with this town? Where´s the life? You´re the first people I´ve seen other than one cop on the beat.¨

One guy says, ¨Where you cummin´ from, man? ¨Montreal, Canada. Where you guys going?¨ He replied, “We´re goin´ to get some dynamite weed, man.”

Having long hair, a beard and brand new bright shiny red/orange back pack on my back, they had confidence I was not a narc. I replied, ¨Dynamite weed? Sounds like something I´d love to check out. If that’s True, Brothers, if you want to take me, I’m with you.”

We started walking together through the tunnel and one guy pulled out a joint and firing it up passed it to me. By the third toke, the shades went up, the lights came on, and I was enjoying a real good, strong, friendly buzz with these strangers.

I said, ¨If you´re going to get dynamite weed, what do you call this? I think it´s really good.” He replied, “Hey, man. That´s just cheap commercial shit. What we´re going to get is dynamite!”What could I say but, “Brothers, if that´s True, if you want to take me, I´m with you. I´d love to check that out.”

We walked and talked for blocks. I had no idea where we were going. Turning a corner, I could see at the end of the block, a gang of 20-30 young people were gathered around the corner lamp post. In this part of Trenton white people are rarely seen in daylight, never mind at 2am.

In between talking with my new friends, it took a nanosecond to pray/think to God. ‘Lord, I trust I´m here with your Peace, your Love, your Goodness and your Strength,’ and continued on The Way in confidence and no paranoia.

Arriving at the corner, there was a radio blasting good tunes from a window of the corner house. Taking off my backpack and leaning it against the rickety picket fence, I turned to face the crowd. There was an energy in the atmosphere as I was being peppered with many questions as the joints were connecting from every direction. The scene was cool and casual. I was happy and content being there.

After a long time, one guy suddenly came out of the crowd and standing in front of my face, said, ¨Hey man! I want your backpack. I´m taking it. It belongs to me now.¨

The atmosphere changed instantly, and the people who had been calm and casual up to that point became speedy, nervous and shifty. Instantly I prayed/thought to God, ‘Lord God Jesus! Give me the right words to speak.’

In less than a nanosecond, as if the Sword of God came out of my mouth, in a blast of words I said, ‘Hey man! What´s this bullshit you´re bringing on down here? Can´t you see? Haven´t you got eyes? Didn´t you see me come here with my brothers carrying this back pack on my back? What´s this lie? What´s this lie? you´re trying to make, that my back pack is your back pack?’

The fellow fell back on the blast of words, but recovering, came back on me again with his words. I said, ‘Hey man! I´m from CanaDa. I´m not even from this Country. I came down here to see how the American people live? Are you how the American people live, man? I´ll tell you the Truth by God, if the American people live like you, this Country is going to burn, and burn bad, and fall into the pit.

Falling back from the blast, he recovered and came back at me again. It seemed like an Eternity, but in the back and fourth, I had confidence God in me is stronger than he that is in the world.

When this fellow suddenly changed the scene, I recognized immediately I had to suppress all fear, otherwise not only would I have lost my back pack, I probably would have got a beating as well. Macho words and actions would not have saved me. Nor would it have been wise to use words with the effect of pouring gasoline on the fire. I just held firm to what is right and mine.

Eventually, I thanked God, two Angels appeared out the crowd. Not the people that brought me there, but two other strangers in the group came forward, and pushing my antagonist, said to him, ‘Don´t touch that man and don´t touch his stuff.’  The one guy backed down right away and the scene calmed down. The joints were passed around again as I answered many questions.

Truth, Justice and Goodness transcends race, religion, socio/economic status and educational level.

After a while, the people who brought me there offered to escort me to back to the hotel where they found me. Leaving me at the door, one lad said, ‘Hey you crazy white man! What you doin´ cumin down here stirrin´ everyone up like that for?’

It cost $5 for a clean, comfortable room and getting in bed, I thanked God for being Alive and delivering me from evil.

But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who SHALL BE heirs of salvation?

Hebrews 1:13-14

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
