Hope springs
eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest:
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

DOWN
THE TUBES
This country
is sinking at a divinely controlled rate and will continue such a decline to the
point of desperation, everything that is done by men to level the state of
affairs will fail miserably; this to let arrogant men know that they are not in
charge, and never have been. God can bless the works of their hands, but He can
also bring their exploits to miserable failure. It is not without reason that
scripture points out that the wisdom of men is as foolishness in the sight of
Almighty God.
The entire
nation wallows in an egregiously deep and socially penetrating economic trough
of government making; the jobs picture is depicted as desperate when in reality
millions of technical jobs go unfilled for a lack of those with the practical
skills to fill them. Yet there is no dearth of sloppily educated and poorly
job-equipped mental midgets with liberal arts degrees, these are of no practical
value and in totality comprise a drag on productive tax-paying citizens by their
indolent and clumsy rolling about in search of cushy jobs, welfare, and
government handouts. The government accommodates these hindrances on society by
mandating extended unemployment benefits and that insurance companies keep them
on their parent's health insurance program unto age 26. Everything the ignorant
and mentally deficient politicians do is double-dipped in dung and guaranteed to
make all that they touch infinitely worse, as we shall certainly see if this
government health fiasco known as Obamacare prevails.
GOD
CONTROLS THE WEATHER
This nation is
suffering through a continuous string of weather related and heaven sent
anomalies that are rapidly destroying what is left of the tattered and
unraveling economy. Grievous storms, unprecedented floods, devouring wildfires,
and now a knockout drought encompassing sixty-five percent of the nation are
unwaveringly destroying the underpinnings of society and pounding the nation
into the dust.
Recently a
person informed me that in view of the drought she and her congregation had
prayed during Sunday morning services for rain. I politely inquired if
throughout the many years of prosperity that had been previously enjoyed if she
and her congregation had offered continuing prayers of thanks and appreciation
for the blessings that God had bestowed upon them. She seemed somewhat confused
and maybe a bit offended by my remark and conveniently avoided a response to my
query by migrating to other topics.
I would bet
that not more than a handful – if that - ever utter a prayer of thanks following
a blessing of a life-giving rain upon parched fields and dry forests. And they
wonder why their crops blister and their forests burn, what an ungrateful and
unthankful bunch we are.
It has
occurred to me that token believers in the Lord attempt to keep Him on retainer
as an expedient utilitarian servant. They put Him into a closet of darkness and
wheel Him out occasionally to pray in desperation that He deliver them from the
dire consequences of their own making. Personally I think that God ought to
direct their pleas for help through the same foreign channels that are used by
the electronic industry to provide technical assistance to their customers.
THE
GOVERNMENT CANNOT DELIVER MIRACLES
In my
particular area the corporate farmers have been riding high; many have been made
greatly wealthy, largely with the assistance of farm subsidies, price supports,
government crop insurance, and other political government assists. Taxpayers
have, these past sixty years or so, made the agricultural industry a nearly
failsafe institution. Agricultural endeavors cannot be titled as free market
enterprises; they depend to the extreme on government regulation and financial
support via tax revenue monies
The one thing
that the government cannot control, in any way, is the weather; thus far
meddling genetic plant engineers have been able - to a degree - to render
capable continuing production during troublesome weather patterns. This by their
manipulation of the genetic base of the various species, but the nutritional
value of the product produced has been drastically altered to an extreme
downside. When a drought intensifies to a near totality even these altered
species will not survive, and we are rapidly approaching that dimension of time
as I write this message.
The population
of this nation is greedy beyond belief, and most believe within themselves that
it is entirely they who have brought about their economic well-being. Aside from
a little Sunday morning lip service the vast majority fail to render unto the
Creator any acknowledgment of His blessings or gratitude for His provisions.
SALVATION NOT
FORTHCOMING
The only
action that God will recognize or reward in any meaningful way is a great
spiritual awakening and a national repentance. If a Josiah does not come onto
the national scene and totally obliterate the societal idols that are worshipped
in lieu of Almighty God our days are numbered, and that number of days dear
reader is distressingly few. Make no mistake about it there will be great agony
and great suffering, but the Bible relates that even in the final days men will
look heavenward and curse Him.
THAT
HORSE IS DEAD
I continue to
hear the interminable and irksome braying that the nation will be saved by men
from a rapidly approaching collapse and that the Constitution will be restored
to the state of being created by the founding fathers. I am pounded with this
wearisome babble every minute of every day and it grates on the nerves like a
screech of nails across a blackboard.
People that
horse is already dead and has been for a century and a half; the Constitution
was spiked through the heart by the uncompromising Hamiltonian enemies of
federalism, interred by Abraham Lincoln amid the killing grounds of the civil
war, and settled in the grave by the dirt poured upon it by a long succession of
dimwitted political centralists. You are now, and always have been, subject to
totalitarian control.
THE
KILLING OF THE CONSTITUTION
If you do not
know James Madison as the father of the U.S. Constitution you should...at the
birth of the nation it was his conceptions in regard to an ascendency of
personal liberties and a sovereignty of the people that prevailed against all
arguments for a monarchy or a totalitarian central government. No one had a
greater role in shaping American Constitutional theory and in framing the
particulars of representative government than James Madison.
I note that
today Madison is greatly ignored. And Thomas Jefferson, Madison's most erudite
ally in the quest for a true and representative Republic, is currently the
victim of the historical revisionists - of both the liberal progressive and
American neo conservative stripe - who deify despotic tyrants such as Abraham
Lincoln and objurgate genuine patriots such as Thomas Jefferson and others.
The greatest
enemy of a true constitutional government among the fledgling colonialists was
Alexander Hamilton. It was his ideas in regard to an all powerful and
encompassing centralized government that were later seized upon by Abraham
Lincoln in his never-ending quest for totalitarianism. And this to be able to
better serve the industrialists that feathered his nest.
The
characterization of this ignoble despot as a poor rail splitter who educated
himself by scribbling notes upon a slate is fictional rubbish. He was in fact a
slick and wealthy corporate lawyer of considerable guile, which he readily
employed in behalf of his equally guileful industrial clients.
The federation
and the constitution upon which it rested stood in the way of his questionable
legal maneuvers in behalf of his corporate and industrial buddies. The act of
constituting a political unity out of a number of separate states so that each
member retained the management of its internal affairs had to be nullified, and
Lincoln was the man to accomplish that job.
Lincoln's
centralist hero Alexander Hamilton was a brash and bold foe of state's rights
and of the people's sovereignty. He plunged ahead to undo the Constitution in
hardihood until Aaron Burr turned out his lights for good. And a fledgling
nation grieved, especially the monarchists of the original colonies.
Abraham
Lincoln had the derring-do and complete lack of integrity to seize upon the ruse
of slavery, and with bloody intensity and a complete lack of remorse brought to
fruition Hamilton's dream of absolutism. This unpitying and ruthless clod
murdered six hundred twenty-five thousand hapless souls in the process. And then
John Wilkes Booth turned out his lights, but alas for the republic and those six
hundred twenty-five thousand souls it was five years too late. And the nation
grieved.
So it was that
less than a hundred years from its birth that the Republic died, murdered by a
despot no less ruthless than a Joseph Stalin or an Adolph Hitler, and no one
grieved. The death of this Republic must be laid at the feet of greedy and
grasping predatory industrialists and the immoral and corrupt politicians who
served their inimical interests.
This is the
truth as you know it, as I know it, and as the revisionist historians know it.
Their belligerency in response to those who expose their prevarications of fact
simply emanates from an exposure of the lies that they promulgate and the
fiction that they employ...
A NEW
HOME A NEW TOMORROW
This nation
will soon perish and the world will crumble beneath demonic rule, but the Lord
lives forever and will rule over the wonderful world of tomorrow. Grieve not
over a loss of the old, celebrate the New.

I agree with every word & concept. It's thrilling to read someone who has it so perfectly correct. The Lord will do His will and if we pray against it, we are aiding and abetting the enemy (Satan). This is only the very beginning of what is coming. Give the Lord thanks constantly throughout the day for the many blessings he rains down on you. If you are a friend of the Lord you will recognize His will when it is being done, and thank Him for it. He is using the evil ones to punish the evil ones. That's the way He has always done it. He is most decidedly not politically correct.
I could expound further, but Jim Schwiesow has said it perfectly. Our prayer now should be that we are in the center of the Lord's Will, that we are doing His work spreading the Gospel, and that we may be counted worthy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven (if we can actually be happy in a place which pronounces judgment on the wicked).
