I'm sure we're all glad Jesus was not a republican nor a democrat either - two despicable groups if there ever were any.

"Through Him all things were made, that were made." Do you think He really cares about our pathetic attempts at self government? Or even notices? He came to save our souls, not our asses. I sure He finds all this very disappointing.

Thanks Vamp. I have some others that are along the same line. Unfortunately way to many don't want to believe or understand the forces that are being brought down on them. Attkinson is protesting violation of constitutional rights. She is using words, while our government is using "THE LAW" and nuclear weapons to remove her freedoms.

Once you kill the first amendment you have killed the very basis and very foundation of America.

What is amazing to me, is that every musician out there should be screaming. I wonder if 4 dead in Ohio would even be allowed to be released under todays censorship rules. DO any of the young folks know what I am talking about?

Thanks for your post Stephan... This thread has taken... some long and twisted turns.

Good post Talbot. I'm starting to like you again.

Just as an aside... I don't think bandmix computers are keeping up. This is an email from them... Now you should all be able to hack away.

Eberton. Hello. Greetings from Phoenix.
One small request. Please upload an original avatar.
Another member here uses that one. I'm likely to spit out my coffee if I think he's saying some of the things you say. That is all. Thank you.

not my color. What else they got?

Talbot ... just got an email from Warrick. I have re-established contact now. today I shall send him an email relating you and your \project etc. and as soon as I hear back I will let you know and send you his email in order that you can contact him. Thanks for your Posts. What you say is exactly the point of it all. I am certain that Humanity has provided and continues to provide an absolute abundance of "Disappointment".

Most of the Jews I know ... the non-Zionists ... feel that the Jewish People have failed in their purpose and as a result of this , so have the "gentiles" or "goys" as a consequence. I find it interesting that my Jewish friends blame themselves and their people for even this. It is a complicated and winding web, the entire thing and who is to really say what is correct. Yod has just as much "authority" as any and his views are as credible as mine or any other. In Truth we are all but Puny Little Men in the grand scheme of things ... no matter what. We all are engaging and this alone marks us for criticism, admiration and most probably insanity. New Zealand...one of "Her Majestys" holdings and one that she has taken much interest in as of late. Hmmmm Her hired guns have red tunics and furry hats ... neither of which I find very appealing. There seems to be two distinct camps within the military and police now forming ...that of the brainless idiot club and that of the awake and human higher forms.

In my humble opinion Katrina has already demonstrated what the military will do. What matters the most is what the common man will do. I expect that many will Die Well and perhaps many more will Die not so well.

I am Posting this video to both initiate some discussion and to cause perhaps a bit of realization and critical thought. I do not do this to cause conflict nor hatred. Open some minds, well maybe but ....

I don't have the time to watch the whole vid by Muller. I will.
What most people don't understand about the Federal Reserve is that the power derived from printing a dollar is based on the premise that the American economy will continue to produce "REAL" goods and services.

Fortunately the controlling factions would face major financial problems if the production of "REAL" goods and services collapsed. Strange irony.

For the average citizen, they have not a clue. So many sheep... BAH, BAHH, BAHHH!

Thanks Stephan. just let me know.

I agree regarding the police - they are taking up sides just like everyone else. it's apt to make the first two secession wars look like picknics.

cheers
Talbot

Eberton ... Most excellent. I thank you. I once dated Flash Gordons GrandDaughter...Buster Crab. Life is odd at times.

Glen ... thank you for taking the time and posting your valid viewpoints.

Schmed ... I thank you for being you and sticking to it ... very humerous.

Talbot I set the email to Warrick so am waiting for his reply and yes or no. Ta for the Posts.

Zionism and Judaism are entirely two very different and separate philosophies … as opposite as Night and Day…

The Zionist "movement" created the Israeli State. Zionism desires to change the nature of the Jewish People from that of a purely religious entity to a political movement.

Only about 12% of Jewish people are religious...tops. So, yea, there is a mostly-secular component to Zionism since most Jews want nothing to do with a "religious entity". However that doesn't mean that Zionism is some nefarious conspiracy to rule the world. It is simply the desire, and belief, that Jewish people have a homeland where they can defend themselves from the rest of the world who is out to kill them.

Jewish Spiritual Leaders have been opposed and stood against Zionism from its very creation which was not all that long ago. Zionists want the world to believe they are the Jewish People and that they represent them. This is a Lie.

I really don't know where you get your info, but your sources are confused.

MOST of the founders of Zionism were religious Jews, and spiritual leaders. There are one or two rogue religious groups who oppose Jews living in Israel....tops.

In accordance with Jewish Faith and the TORAH, the Jewish People are forbidden to have their own state whilst awaiting the Messiah. At the arrival of the Messiah, the CREATOR alone, without any human assistance, will take the Jewish People out of their Exile and bring them together. This is to be a Divine and not a "human" process.

This is what Finklestein teaches, yes, but it's an extremely minority view and, imo, a terrible interpretation.

The Zionist State is not a Jewish State. Zionism is in fact a form of "Government".

Please don't assume I'm saying this with any anger or criticism of you personally....but that's just whack.

Collectivism works well enough in the way you use it I feel. But it is both the Democratic and Republican Parties, not just one.

One is grossly worse than the other, but your point is conceded as correct.

Regarding Texas and Mexico …and being better able to defend yourself … well I beg to differ.

I have lots of family here. If the time comes, we will be a large well-defended gang in a city where we have good relations with neighbors and shared food.

I think the only safe place will be a hidden farm within walking distance of clean water in the middle of nowhere, distantly surrounded by people who share your values and are willing to work together to survive.

Yod … we disagree on some things but we do agree on others. We have verbally sparred in the past and it is best I think that "we agree" that we "disagree"on some issues.

I think we've disagreed on a couple of things, but you should know that I've never been angry over that because I am secure in what I know to be true, and not threatened by disagreement.

Only time will tell.

A good many Christians and teachers believe this: That the fishers were the (Zionists) and that the hunters were the (Nazis) (Jer. 16:14–18). When God called the Jews to return to the land that he had given them, he sent the Zionists to spread the word to return. I am also one who interprets these scriptures in that manner. I am also aware that there are other interpretations, but they do not make any sense whatsoever in my opinion.

Jer 16:15 but 'As the LORD lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.' For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers. "Behold, I am sending for many fishers, declares the LORD, and they shall catch them. And afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.

So Zionism is defiantly not a political movement but rather a movement initiated by God to restore the land back to the Jews. It is made rather obvious when reading these passages. But to each his own opinion. :)

Yod,

I agree with much that you have said.

Just to add and not take away from valid open speech...

An Amish Farmer walking through his field notices a man
drinking from his pond with his hand.
The Amish Farmer shouts: "Trinken Sie nicht das Wasser,
die Khe und die Schweine haben hineingeschissen!"
Which means: "Don't drink the water, the cows and pigs have sh*t in it!"
The man shouts back: "I'm a Muslim, I don't understand your gibberish.
Speak English, Infidel!"
The Amish Farmer shouts back in English: "Use two hands, you'll get more!"
