Wikileaks--when Julian Assange and Bradley Manning leaks hate

Who is Julian Assange and Bradley Manning that have put it upon themselves to put secret war documents for the world to peruse?  Why did they do it?  Bradley Manning a young man dejected from a failed homosexual relationship decides to turn on his country and leak information he was entrusted with.   At a time when this obama administration thinks homosexuals should have an open door in the military.  This was certainly not a good foreboding of such a decision.

Julian Assange, who at this time sees this move as of prime importance, seems to have forgotten that he is but a man and assurance of no repercussions on the people that were in his leaked documents is worth nothing more than the paper it is on.

These two made strange bed-fellows in the supposed aim of fighting for truth.  Some day they can look back at this move on the great stage of world news and probably find the same thing King Solomon did--it is all vanity.  There is nothing new under the sun--even now Iragis are not surprised at the news.

All is not fair in war and everything is certainly not cut and dry.  Hindsight is better than foresight and Julian Assange is a like an armchair quarterback but in fact this is not a game--there is a war out there and which side he is truly helping--I don't even think he truly knows.

Divulging secret files is something he won't be stopping at soon. "We make a promise to our sources, who go through incredible risks sometimes to get us material, that we'll do justice to their efforts and get them the maximum political impact possible," he said.

It's sad when he can't see that he, Julian Assange, is also a pawn in the world stage of hate and in this case his prime source, Bradley Manning leaked for anger's sake.  Who will scrape up the lives his wikileaks will open the way for murder...but then he promised that won't happen--I guess he forgot he is just a man.

All things we do have a reason.  Julian's anger which is probably the driving force (and it certainly was for Bradley Manning) at a world, or nation or people that disappoints, will hopefully someday subside.  As his anger has great weight when the enemy can use it for their gain.

Matthew 5:21-22  You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'  But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment

The Makers Of Health Care Reform--Who Made Them Gods?--Creation of Death Panels Is Here

Psalm 103

As a father has compassion on his children, 
       so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

  for he knows how we are formed, 
       he remembers that we are dust.

  As for man, his days are like grass, 
       he flourishes like a flower of the field;

  the wind blows over it and it is gone, 
       and its place remembers it no more.

  But from everlasting to everlasting 
       the LORD's love is with those who fear him, 
       and his righteousness with their children's children

The above Psalm reminds us of God's love--He knows how we are formed.  He is the Giver of life and it is His to freely take.  Unfortunately, imperfect man has set upon himself to decide who can live and who can die.  A health reform that is supposed to give assistance to millions more-- will also give assistance to kill more.

November 2nd, we have a chance to start dismantling this perverted idea of equality.  Please remember to vote wisely because to the makers of this plan--you are but a man.  Unless of course, you have power like they do to break in line.  Hear Grace Marie Turner, founder of the premiere health policy think-tank in the nation and become very informed to make a difference for "life."

Does Voter Guides To Pastors Work? They Woke Up Freedom Fighters in The Beginning--Will They Do It Again?

and Grace Marie Turner on Health Care Reform

Two Reasons (And More) On The Importance of Your Vote Nov 2nd

The Hot Senate Seats

Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt (who lost  his job for doing the unthinkable in the minds of proponents of political correctness--to pray in Jesus' name) has launched an incredible legal tool to empower the churches.  A Voter's guide which unbiasedly tells the pastors how candidate voted proves to be a very powerful tool --remember how the truth can set us free?  In this case it gives voters the ability to wade through the multi-million dollar ads some of these candidates are using.  Let's face it, these ads are put on by companies whose goal is to sway the voters--the facts as many are founding out doesn't even matter.  Many ads have blatant serious lies but if it can sway the voter to their client's direction the truth no longer matters.

So go to Chaplain's website as it's already making a difference and the gaps are closing in. Also Grace Marie Turner of Galen Institute.  With America's economic chaos just around the corner and moral compass going haywire-the decisions made in the voting booth will make or break America for generations.  We have come full circle--facts are out on what is coming down the pike--do you like the destruction looming and are you willing to take a chance on what got America to this point or not.  Your decision counts.  Information counts.  Informed Pastors like those in the founding era made all the difference.  Visit Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt's website and hear the latest interview with him.

These are the hotly contested Senate Races:

1.  New Hampshire plus 9 for Rep

2.  Pennsylvania plus 2 for Rep

3.  West Virginia plus 5 for Rep

Common Core Standards--Is It Bill Gates or Lou Gerstner or Obama's Standards?

Audio link to interviews--with Betty Peters   with Donna Garner--pointing to troubling plans and effect on boys(at bottom half of interview)

Common Core Standards--Who really is behind it?

A.  The Bill Gates Money Jump Start:

The Gates foundation gives nearly four times as much annually to education as the Walton Family Foundation.  Could there be ulterior motives behind such benevolence and such great PR--some wonders about it.  The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation gave 25 states money to help apply for Obama's Race to the Top grants. It also gave 35 million since January 2008 to the Council of Chief State School Officers, the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and other organizations developing and promoting the common core standards.   Obama praises the standards movement but cannot fund it directly as it is unconstitutional.  Bill Gates Foundation however has stepped in to fill the gap. (However as in Arne Duncan's speech below they will fund the assessments.*)

An article dated Nov 12, 2008 SEATTLE  cites the foundation’s $500 million investment in experimenting with performance-based teacher pay systems; another $500 million toward creating data systems; advocacy work pushing for national standards; and efforts to create a national test distributed to states and school districts in the country, free of charge for now.  Some are speculating that what he's spent is chump change as his company may eventually reap a lot as government spending on K-12 education is estimated at more than a whopping $500 billion yearly.

Bill Gates, announced his new initiatives to a private meeting of about 100 school officials, union leaders, and policy experts such as: " the presidents of the two major American teachers unions; the current U.S. Education Secretary, Margaret Spellings; at least one former Education Secretary, Dick Riley, who served under President Bill Clinton; and several people named as possible Education Secretary in the Barack Obama administration now being formed."

B.  Enter Achieve:

In April 2009, representatives from 41 states met with CCSSO and National Governors Association representatives in Chicago and agreed to draft a set of common standards for education.

They commissioned Achieve to draft the new "common core" standards by summer '09 and grade-by-grade standards by the end of the year.   Achieve work-groups met in private and the development work was conducted by persons who were not, with apparently only a single exception, K-12 educators. The work groups were staffed almost exclusively by employees of Achieve, testing companies (ACT and the College Board), and pro-accountability groups (e.g., America's Choice, Student Achievement Partners, the Hoover Institute). 

C.  Obama's plan:

Obama's Sec. of  Ed Arne Duncan's speech at  2009 Governors Education Symposium  June 14, 2009 Cary, North Carolina

He states the following:

 Perfect Storm for Reform

• Obama effect
• Leadership on the Hill and the Unions
• Proven strategies for success
• The Recovery Act -- $100B

 "But if all we do is save jobs, we will miss this opportunity – which is why we are also using this recovery money to drive reform"

"There has never been this much money on the table and there may never be again"

"Once new standards are set and adopted you need to create new tests that measure whether students are meeting those standards. Tonight -- I am announcing that the Obama administration will help pay for the costs of developing those tests."*

"Today, perhaps for the first time, we have enough money to really make a difference."

Money indeed-- from the American people to implement the plan.

D.  Mr. Lou Gerstner's suggestions:

Wall Street Journal article Nov 23, 2008-- See Mr. Lou Gerstner suggestion to the president elect Obama:

..."I’m going to suggest is that he convene the 50 governors, and the first thing they do is they abolish the 16,000 school districts we have in the United States. Sixteen thousand school districts are what we’re trying to cram this reform through...

These organizations stand in the way of what we want to do.

Now, the governors could decide, we’ll keep them as advisory, we can keep them as community support, but they will not be involved in the fundamental direction of public education in America. Second, this group of governors will then select 50 school districts, plus I’d say 20 major cities, so we got 70 school districts. Seventy instead of 16,000.

They will within one year develop a national set of standards for math, science, reading and social studies. Twelve months after that they will develop a national testing regime, so that there’ll be one day in America where every third, sixth, ninth and twelfth grader will take a national test against a national curriculum."

And as Chairman of Achieve--his plans are being carried out thanks to Bill Gates money and the administration of O'bama.

So really there are many behind the common core standards including all three named on the title.  They have pooled their resources.  And with the perfect storms in healthcare, jobs etc., which most parents are still trying to figure they can hardly pay attention to the future of America--their children.  And with the flowery words in the presentations of the common core states standards the ugly truth has been beautifully hidden.   America has monied and powerful people that think they know best for your children and you are not a part of the equation (just in the payment).   I hope you will no longer be ignorant to this precious foundation of the future of America--but be wary and share your thoughts with your governors (governors can be the key--hear interview).

E.  Enter Kevin Jennings Dream:

Kevin Jennings, the safe schools czar in the Dept of Ed (that unlike the green czar, Van Jones could not be removed--though some in Congress tried)has plans for our kids.  Dr. Sandra Stotsky, one of the professors in the validation committee, would not affirm these common core standards and one of the reason is there is so much left out of the standards.  

Indeed they have made "room" for affecting thoughts of generations of children.   Kevin Jennings has said he looks forward to the day when “promoting homosexuality” in schools will be seen in a positive light (find out more on plans click here.) 

F.  The Church disconnect of their role in government--remember this nation shed tyranny due to the warnings and help of the church.  Have we failed and are we on the way to living in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah?  Media and schools may both be promoting that to our children.

“Temptations (that is, snares, traps set to entice to sin) are sure to come; but woe to him by or through whom they come! It would be more profitable for him of a millstone were hung around his neck and he were hurled into the sea, than that he should cause to sin or be a snare to one of these little ones.” Luke 17:1&2 Amplified.

Those snares are on the way and it is through the Dept. of Ed.  Our children are no longer safe and most citizens are too tired to do anything.   Would you please be the one to help take a stand and protect them, your right as parents and the future of this nation?  First step is get informed-share it with your church-  click here and maybe a petition.  Listen to interviews and learn more about the common core standards and be sure to PRAY (the founding fathers did and it made all the difference).  

Columbus Day

Why is he in need of defense, you ask?  Columbus' noble character and great achievements are being maligned by public school educators.  Children are being taught that "he was very, very mean."  Some 4th graders in Pittsburgh put him on trial, charging him with misrepresenting the Spanish crown and thievery.  They found him guilty and sentenced him to life in prison.  Columbus great discovery of the new world to the Europeans opened the door to bring Christian civilization to a savage, primitive world with many human-sacrificing cannibals.  That  discovery is now being mocked and misrepresented. Since Columbus is not here to defend himself, I must make an attempt on his behalf. 

The name Christopher means Christ-bearer, and he believed God called him to bring Christ to the heathen.  He desired the wealth of the Indies to finance world evangelism and one last great crusade to take the holy land away from the Muslims.  Ferdinand and Isabella had finally stopped the advance of Islam into Spain, which enabled the sovereigns to start the new exploration venture with Christopher Columbus.   Columbus asked for 10% of the discovered wealth, the title of Admiral, and to be made governor of all the lands he found.

The first sentence in his logbook for the voyage was, "In the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ."After sailing due west by dead reckoning, (he said he didn't make use of navigational instruments but the Holy Spirit led him), Columbus landed on an island, fell to his knees with his men in prayer and praise to God, planted a large cross, and named it San Salvador.  It means Holy Savior.  

The naked natives rejoiced to see the pale men from the east and Columbus took care to make sure that they were not taken advantage of by his men.  Some of the Spaniards had been released from prison to man the ships and were not of noble character.  They were trying to give cheap trinkets in exchange for valuables.  Columbus forbade it and gave good gifts to the natives, asking nothing in return, hoping to win their favor so they'd be receptive to the gospel of Jesus Christ. He cared for the souls of the natives and where they'd spend eternity.  Pardon me, but who could characterize that as mean?  Columbus said they were so gentle and child-like that he believed they would make good Christians. 

While Columbus was absent from some of the islands, his crew (former criminals released from prison for the voyage) engaged in despicable behavior with the natives.  The spreading of disease traveled both ways, from the natives to the Europeans and from the Europeans to the natives.  Christopher Columbus was never implicated in wrong-doing by the honest whistle-blower who reported it. 

Everything I've read from primary and secondary sources has revealed Christopher Columbus as a kind man of strong faith and great courage.  He opened the door for the exploration and colonization of the new world, bringing the knowledge of God through Jesus Christ to those who had never heard the gospel.   Our nation was built on that foundation.  Thank you, Columbus!  I'm celebrating Columbus Day and hope you wil, too.       

Leviticus--The Price of Sin

Today, I learned from Leviticus and saw things I have never seen before.  It is said God's Word is alive and everyday I believe it more.  The reading pointed out in my small human mind how awesome our Heavenly Father is.  In Leviticus one sees the Father's hand upon his children Israel as he washes them gently but firmly from their pagan ways.  He shows them that sin has a price.  The many sacrifices I had heard of before seemed to have a new meaning today.  I saw the way God wanted his people to come to know the value and preciousness of each worthy sacrifice--only the perfect and unblemished was acceptable-- was so important.  It reminds us today of the magnitude of God's love as we know the end sacrifice for our sins was his One and only Son.  

Hear an interview with Mr. Dan Fraley our teacher of Hebraic Roots as he reminds us of our Jewish roots and he ends it with a prayer that will hopefully move mountains in your life.
