ELECTIONS, POLITICS, POWER, RELIGION, FREEDOM OF CHOICE


US or UN

It boggles my mind as a Canadian, Donald Trump is the front runner for the Republican Party south of our border. Is there anyone who can trump Trump?

Watching from CanaDa, the vitriol and base language developing in America that leads to destruction saddens me. My impression is the Republicans are a front for the self-proclaimed, self-righteous, Christian Right wanting to see their Christian Vision take hold in America and are willing to impose it on the population as they work to make it happen behind the scenes, surreptitiously. We can see evidence of the trend with the new Republican Governors unilaterally, by Executive Authority, abrogating long held Democratic rights of workers and voters.

This is a recipe for an eventual violent insurrection of the various and competing Patriot Groups of Minutemen and other Militias throughout the US standing on guard for the Republic who have been accumulating caches of weapons, training to fight in the Day when Government steps on the Rights of Free Americans. More and more Americans are seeing the Signs that Day is near. Will there be Canadians standing on Guard for CanaDa in that Day so we are not caught up in the violence?

In my view, that is a real contradiction in terms because the Love of God cannot be imposed on anyone. God is looking for Human Lovers on earth who Love God for God’s Love, not God’s Power. God is willing to share Power with all the people who have The Right Stuff within them which is Christ. Everyone in the Human Race is invited to try out and qualify even if others choose not to participate.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcomes will I grant to SIT WITH ME in my throne, even as I also overcame, and AM set down with my Father in his throne.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Revelation 3:20:22

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I AM, there YOU MAY BE ALSO.               John 14:2-3

As soon as any Human genuinely and sincerely sets their heart and thoughts on the Way to finding God and Christ above the things of this world, Christ starts preparing that place.

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

Now if Trump is the front runner for the Republican Party, and only “Good Christians” can be President, why does Trump openly advocate breaking the 10 Commandments and the Christian Right is left silent on the issue or cheering him on?

You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour. (including oil)

Trump covets that oil, there is no doubt about that, firmly established in the Public Record. The Christian Right must be made to answer that with the same insistence Trump demanded the President’s Birth Certificate. Now he wants him to produce his University Grades. Obama graduated Suma Cum Laude, with the highest honours, which goes way beyond any notion of affirmative action.

There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that if you just legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous their prosperity will find its way up and through every class that rests upon it. Speech by William Jennings Bryan on July 9, 1896,

It is 115 years later and the same debate is still being argued and not resolved yet.

Trump thinks he can dictate to the Arab States who own the oil under their ground, the way God designed it to be, while in the US, laws are still being framed to ensure the rich get richer, and the poor poorer.

Does Trump have a plan to stop US Corporations from raising the  prices within the US for the Citizens at the bottom levels of the economic pyramid, and increasingly becoming beyond their ability to pay? Are only American Capitalists allowed to raise prices?

When John Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ,  I was not offended because it was an objective Truth and reality looking at the whole world. Anyone who loves God loves Truth.

American Christians were so offended by that statement of objective Truth, like the Nazis did with Books, the American Christians burned Beatle Albums. In my view, John was saying to self-proclaimed most Christian America, if you were Truly doing the works of God, the Beatles would not be more popular than Jesus Christ.

It’s in the Public Record. When such a smart Black man occupied The White House, The Republicans declared in Public, their only goal is to destroy Obama’s Presidency and they have been working toward that goal ever since.

I was so impressed when I witnesses via TV, the President of the un-United States say, “If we followed Christ’s Sermon on the Mount, we would have to disband the Department of Defence.” That statement is an Objective Truth, and from that speech, I took note the Christian Right twisted those words, having those who hate him already to hate him even more by saying he perverts the Bible and was against it.

The majority of the atheistic Nation take no note of this Christian power struggle while it is in their self interest to pay attention because it is going on behind closed doors.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.                                                        Ephesians 6:12

OSCAR AND THE IDOLS OF THE PEOPLE


The glitz and glamour in seeing the pantheon of stars turn out for the Academy Awards was always impressive watching it from CanaDa.

Since I unexpectedly and powerfully came alive to God on February 1, 1975, I have experienced many unexpected surprises and wonders. One of them was during the 1976 Academy Awards.

Nine months after that awakening at the age of 30 going on 31, I sold all my possessions in Montreal and put on a back pack, entering the Unites States to discover the Spirit of ’76. That Spirit led me to so many places I never could have imagined prior to February 1, 1975.

I spent some time in Venice Beach, California. It was an awesome time for me, especially because it was my 1st winter in a warm, sunny climate. I had a free place to stay half a block from the ocean. I was invited to party more than I could accept.

I held two jobs. At 7am, I set up the tables and chairs on the patio of the Sea & Shore Restaurant on the Boardwalk. For doing just that, I received a full breakfast, and I could sit on the patio whenever, and drink free coffee until closing. It was a wonderful place to meet and greet, discussing the issues of the day.

My other job was washing dishes for $1/hr at Suzanne’s Kitchen Friday to Monday, also on the Boardwalk.  I toured to other places in between. Suzanne was a part time actress and an excellent cook. Her most famous movie part I am aware of was in ‘The Parallax View.”

Graceful words dripped from her lips like milk and honey. Then there were times when it seemed she just suddenly snapped and her words were like icy daggers, making everyone within hearing distance feel like they were guilty for whatever it was.

For the 1976 Academy Awards, she brought a portable television to the Restaurant so we could watch the spectacle. I marvelled I was so close to where it was happening for the 1st time in my life. History was made that night. For the 1st time ever, a live trans Atlantic TV broadcast with Diana Ross in Amsterdam was part of the show.

During the presentations, a stranger I had never seen before came into the Restaurant and handed me a brown paper wrapped package and disappeared into the night before I opened it and could ask questions.

To my great wonder and surprise, it was a black leather bound book with the gold embossed title, ‘The Words of Jesus.’ It contained only the words of Jesus from the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

To me, it was much more valuable and uplifting than getting a golden statue/false god/idol. I view those things, like Grammy’s, Nobel Prizes, etc. as they’re described in Daniel 3 of the Bible.

The king of Babylon gave a command to ‘all People, Nations and tongues,’ that whenever they heard the sound of any musical instrument wherever they are, they bow down toward the Golden Statue erected in the Capital of Babylon, like Muslims bow toward Mecca. The penalty if anyone was caught not bowing down was to be burned alive in a fired up furnace.

It was most probably rare for the average person to hear a musical instrument in those Times, and actually be caught not prostrating according to the king’s command. If that commandment was still enforced Today, not much work would get done.

This theme is carried over to the last temptations of Jesus recorded in Matthew 4 when the devil took him up to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
and said to him, all these things will I give you, if you WILL FALL DOWN and worship me.
 Jesus said to him, Get outta here, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

My back pack with the Book in it was stolen at The Liberty Memorial in Kansas City months later. I resigned myself to the probability this was meant to be. I could relate with Job – The Lord gave. The Lord has taken away. Blessed Be the name of The Lord.

On the inside front and back covers of the Book there were words written: to be given to – and there were many names written in the Book between the covers. There was one name written I did know, my Sales Manager in Montreal in 1967, nine years earlier. Chances are it was the same name, but not the same person. The next recipient was probably living in Kansas City.

June 1, 2014 – The marvel of the Internet. I had no contact with Suzanne since I moved on in 1976 and she just contacted me Today with pictures from her Kitchen. See her comment below.
