So you've thrown in the towel and have no hope for the future??? You're doing EXACTLY what they want you to do. Sit back and give up. "

Perhaps as to one who does not understand what is truly going on that may be the appearance. Especially if they make up their own "between the lines" assumptions. However, to one who serves the living God and understands that He is the one who does everything according to his purpose it may perhaps be seen as not fighting against what God has both shown and informed them as to what He is doing. Look around you. Has God put righteous men in power at every level? At any level? After all, it is God who both makes the position of authority and then fills it. It is God who puts forth both the blessing and the curse upon a land. I see us as being under a curse.

Perhaps you should read my posts closer. I simply elaborated on what is clearly going on, and these things can be observed with anyone with eyes to see. Exactly where in my post did you read that II was raising the white flag in surrender, and where in my post did I say I was going to take up arms against those who God clearly has put in power for his purpose? Stop reading between the lines where nothing is expressed one way or another. The trouble is that people try to read something into a sentence where there is nothing, and then they run with their assumptions and even sometimes embellish upon that which was not even implied in the first place.

I see things for what they are, not as how I wish them to be. I sometimes see things as they shall be.

Is not the prayer of the Christian "Come quickly Lord Jesus" ? And if that is so is it not necessary for chaos and lawlessness to come upon all societies of this world first? If God were to say pick up a gun and defend liberty would I not do that? And if God said do not meddle in what I am doing, would it not be for me to not meddle?

If it is written " If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints", then who shall resist what God has ordained? ( Rev 13:10) He who does not have faith and endurance can run for the gun, I will wait on the Lord as to what I should do. My place is to listen closely to Him who is in command, not to decide on my own behalf what I will do or not due when the time arises. I will wait on the Lord for that.

Again, I'm not going to get into a religious or political debate on this forum because I don't think this is the place for it. If I lived next door, I would sit on the porch w/ you and talk until the sun goes down but that ain't happening. Maybe I could make it your way next year after I retire and have the time to travel?? That might be cool. I'll A>B my Echoplex against your crappy digital delay pedal!!*

Joockey, thats all this side of band mix is about. This is why Rock and Roll changed society and reminded all the non sleeping sheep about life.

This site wouldn't even exist if it were not for all the outstanding musical political spokes people, that have come out of musical freedom.

I am amazed that many do not understand the privilege that bandmix has allowed us, under the freedom of their personal property. Thank you bandmix.

By the way this is the side where we can talk about a corrupt government.

"So you've thrown in the towel and have no hope for the future" That is an assumption even in question form. "You watch too much TV, Slack." and that is also one. Or am I missing something there?

Your statement, "Why do you keep stepping in it?? .... I certainly must disagree with you on that point. That's a pretty broad generalization / exaggeration.

What I said about reading things into posts was a blanket statement and referred to no one in particular. It happens a lot on forums. I did not say "Jook " when I referred to that last highlighted statement in your post.

Regardless, my response makes it perfectly clear where I stand concerning the destruction of America by these Socialist / Marxist / Communist loving fanatics along with my reaction to them. I, myself, error in cursing their ungodly behavior of these miscreants since they irritate me so much. Yet Paul said "we are as sheep led to the slaughter" None of those close to Christ resisted Gods appointed authorities.They went peacefully to imprisonment and they went peacefully to their deaths following Christs example. That should be food for thought as far as Christians are concerned.

I do not mind Echoplexes. In fact, I made my own transport and echo circuit in the back of an old Gold Kustom twin 12 amplifier so I wouldn't have top carry an Echoplex around with me to gigs. I sold it to a friend and it is still up and running. When Electro Harmonix came out with the "Analog Bucket Brigade" unit called the "Memory Man" I was pretty happy... until I plugged it in and tried to get a decent sound out of it. But it was analogue.

I forgot about Echo pedals after using that a short time. It was nosier than the surf during a storm. When the digital units came out there was quite an improvement., but the compression circuits in them sucked. I own two Ibanez units that are pretty fair, and a half dozen or more Zoom FX units that have a great stereo echo in them. By turning the brightness down on them the repeats decay as they do in a tape unit to a fair degree. I also have a decent Digitech Echo / Reverb pedal that I carry as a spare. I love my Zooms. I just gave away a Danelectro "Fab Echo" It is a $15.00 digital echo with a fixed delay. I bought several to build into my portable amplifiers. I know how to make the time delay adjustable so they were made usable. I was shocked that they truly were digital units, but they're inadequate nevertheless.

I will get to my store room when the weather cools down and see if I can find some Echoplex tapes. I know I had several at one time that weren't used. I will also look for spare parts for the solid state unit. I know I had some spare parts at one time that I never planed to use. If I ever do meet you I'll try hard not to diss your noisy antique Stone Aged Echoplex .... too much

We are in uncharted territory now.

Nope. We've been there since your buddies in Houston were in power in the Intel community. We can actually go back further than that to J. Edgar Hoover. Blackmail and corruption has been rampant since these Intel crowds have been around. They do as they please..

I wasn't talking about your everyday blackmail and corruption. That's been going on since Nimrod.


The land of the free is fading fast

Trump is our last chance to clean house under the order of law. The FBI just disgraced themselves. The attorney general just disgraced herself. 2 cops just killed 2 people, right or wrong.... BY WHOSE JUDGMENT?

THE LAW IS OUT OF CONTROL.

OPEN DOOR ANARCHY!

go read this post.

Clinton World No Laws, No rules, No Justice .

Ginzburg attacks Donald. WOW! That is proof of how desperate the double standard people have become.
She should resign!!!!
The Pope tried this shiit too.

All you people that think it is OK to use the law to tell people what hand to use and the amount of toilet tissue allowable, better STOP!

Remember I am not some paranoid maniac with a gun. A crazy woman sitting on the supreme court is far more dangerous... Especially when she is in charge of the LAW!

All this doesn't matter...
I called it 13 months ago and a few days...
He is a ROCK STAR. Just like the great ones that have influenced and sometimes changed history in our country. That list is long. Elvis, Elton John............
Go through all my posts from whenever... Before he became involved, I said the next president would have to be a rock star.
He will be the next president and I believe he will do far more good than harm.

IF I AM wrong... I never am... I WILL NEVER AGAIN COMPLAIN ABOUT ANY ONE HERE.

If I am right... KISS MY ASSS.

Trump will have to appoint her replacement too, I never expected her to last this long.

And yeah, Trump will be our next President. His opposition is giving it to him as fast as they can. Everything they do ends up helping him, every verbal attack comes back and bites them on the ass...even those in his own party refusing to abide by their pledge and endorse Trump is going to end up working in his favor, just like the really bad job of a speech Ted Cruz pulled off last night...only to get booed off the stage. I loved it...And all Trump did was hand him some more rope...he knew two hours in advance what was in Cruz' speech. He let him go ahead anyway, a calculated risk, and it payed off well.

Never underestimate Donald Trump.

Going to be interesting when this all goes down... What color pinstripes is hilarity cliton going to end up wearing?

Glen, probably rainbow colored!
