Georgia On My Mind

Our borders are a mess, both north and south.  It's no secret that many Muslims gain access to Canada then head south . . . Some of the northern border states have some seriously large immigrant populations of questionable legitimacy.  There are many Muslims here legally who have been granted refugee asylum due to our invasion of Iraq.  Politically speaking, our southern border is basically an open door, but . . . it has been for years.  The only person who seems unable to get to the US from Mexico is Marine Sgt. Tahmooressi.  According to the charges, a person is not allowed to have weapons when crossing the border going south . . . that includes a soldier, but apparently only applies when going south.

My home state is apparently attempting to restart the Civil War, and is conveniently located in the middle of the country.  Rev. Racebaiter, himself; Al Sharpton has been to the Show Me state.  Meanwhile in other news, a white man was shot in Utah by what is reported to be a non-white officer . . . unlike Officer Wilson, the Salt Lake City officer's identity has not been released.  His identity seems to actually be being protected, while the slain young man is being demonized in the media.  Ferguson is much more centrally located for a city wide or individual state declaration of martial law to affect the entire country.  Major Interstates and airports could be so easily affected by martial law in Missouri.

With so much in the news, Georgia just keeps quietly popping up on other issues that just don't grab the headlines or stay in the headlines.

When I first did some research about the no knock warrant, it was based upon a Georgia headline.  That no knock warrant resulted in the death of a 92 year old woman.  After that incident, that particular department of the Atlanta PD increased from 8 to 30 . . .

A bill was introduced in Georgia, back in the 90's to use a guillotine for capital punishment, for organ donation.  The bill didn't pass . . . but clearly someone in power in Georgia, gave it enough serious thought to write a bill and introduce it.

Georgia is home to a very interesting monument, called the Georgia Guidestones.

Georgia is also home to the CDC  Center for disease control, and disease can be "controlled" both ways . . .  I don't mean to sound conspiranoid, but why would anyone need a patent for a disease, especially one like ebola?  The CDC has one, right there in Georgia.  The doctor and nurse who contracted ebola in Liberia, were brought to Georgia.  Atlanta is also home to the world's busiest international airport, which seems like an interesting potential of a pandemic proportion.

There's a mall in Georgia that truly takes the cake for this month.  A ladies group met there to walk and they are a church group, so they begin their walking with a prayer.  Security guards informed them that prayer was not acceptable in the mall.  The official word is, private personal prayers over a meal are still acceptable, if it doesn't disturb any of their patrons . . .

Media has become sensationalized and clearly designed to lead the readers to draw conclusions.  Lines to grab our attention.  How many headlines do you click on, only to find out, it really misrepresented the article?  The headlines are designed to distract us from connecting the dots.  While all eyes are on Washington politics, or Chicago crime, or Ferguson riots; things are quietly going in to place.    

The Agenda Continues

Two young men were gunned down by police this week, yet the reactions are quite different.  As a resident of the Show-Me state, I'm watching closely to the events in Ferguson, MO.  Missouri has also been dubbed the political bellwether state, and I've been told before, the powers that be have used a Missouri city as a model to see how people react to implementation of codes and enforcement.

Two things stand out about the case in Ferguson.  One, is the fact that it immediately became racial and two, the protesters seem to be imported.  I'm so saddened that our nation has become so racially divided, once again; after electing our first president of color.  From a skeptical perspective, and that's the perspective I now have; it seems almost orchestrated.  Not only has racial division risen, but so have theories about causation and the source.  What seems to be overlooked is the fact, that regardless of who is causing it, there is military style police equipment and curfew in Ferguson, MO.  It doesn't matter who is causing what, the solution is the same . . . one step closer to martial law, for our own good, of course.

As a matter of fact, the reports of out of town protesters and a resurgence of the Black Panthers will probably expedite the people's demand for martial law and fear will be the motivating factor to embrace it.  In the event that any organized group is going to destroy a town, the people would naturally seek whatever protection is available.  The sad fact of the matter is, this has racial overtones that are not going away anytime soon.

Meanwhile in another state a white twenty year old is gunned down by three officers.  The race of the officers was not distinctly reported, but the report did include that they were all three on paid vacation at this time.  There is no report that Salt Lake City is experiencing the same issues as Ferguson, MO, although the Salt Lake Tribune has offered it's spin on the young man's past.  Sgt. Darin Sweeten is reported to have stated, it is unlikely the officers knew of any warrant, at the time of the shooting.

Utah has a new big data storage building that has made the news recently, but a video was sent to me a few weeks ago that is really quite haunting in view of recent events, here in Missouri.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYCg7_qVLzo  New Haven, Missouri is in Franklin County and Ferguson is in the next county, St. Louis County.  Regardless of who is protesting and who is protecting, equipment for martial law is covering much of this country.

Delusion or Deception

When report of this crime came across my newsfeed, I was horrified.  I know people are dying everywhere and violence is certainly on the rise, but this particular incident stood out.  ISIS is reportedly killing because they hate those who don't believe what they do.  They own their hate and admit it.  Hamas openly admits their hatred of Israel and the Jewish people.  But here in America, a Jewish man is gunned down as he walks to synagogue and it's reported to not be a hate crime, but a robbery gone bad.  Really?

As these incidents increase, and they will, is law enforcement going to turn a blind eye toward certain victims based upon religion?  It's obvious that politics has already redefined who the victims are when it comes to matters pertaining to Israel.  When it's this blatant and we accept it, we need to realize that we've chosen to be deceived.  We are called to endure the mess, but we do not have to choose a lie.  We can choose to cling to the Truth.

Maybe the perpetrators didn't realize an Orthodox Jewish man would not be carrying money on Sabbath.  According to one report, witnesses said there was no altercation and the victim was shot several times.  A synagogue in that neighborhood had been vandalized earlier in the week with swastikas and hamas spray painted on the pillars.

How can this not be a hate crime?

Anti-Semites and Deniers

The recent division about Israel is not shocking, as this nation is determined to be divided very clearly along political lines, so if red is for it, blue is against it, and vice versa.  It will truly be interesting to see how GMOs get politically played, yet I digress.  The division and accusation about the current issues in Israel and Gaza came as no surprise, but denial of the holocaust caught me by surprise.  I realize there are deniers, but one happened to be of a Christian denomination.  When one denier trolled my wall, I suggested they Google Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Corrie Ten Boom.  Their response was clearly argumentative.  When I read what people went through, I can't imagine denial less than 70 years later.

What's interesting about the history that we seem to be overlooking and the deniers are claiming, is that much of what took place in Nazi Germany began as "health care" and disease management.
Take note America.  One does not have to dig very far to discover the concentration camps came after an economic collapse and government health care.  Complete Article

National Socialism and the Nation’s Health

No profession in Germany became so numerically attached to National Socialism in both its leadership and membership as was the medical profession. Because of their philosophical orientation toward finding a more scientific basis for medical research and practice, government funding for research, and the practical benefits of acquiring university positions and medical practices from the many banned and exiled German Jewish doctors, many physicians supported Nazi policies. One of the first Nazi laws, passed July 14, 1933, was the “Law for the Prevention of Progeny of Hereditary Disease,” intended to “consolidate” social and health policies in the German population and prohibit the right of reproduction for persons defined as “genetically inferior.” After 1933, the connection between the theory and practice of politicized medicine advocated by many in Weimar Germany became actual in Nazi Germany.

As the trouble in Israel escalates, it is truly dividing the social commentary.  There are folks openly anti-Semitic and even holocaust deniers who will troll posts of those who are pro-Israel.  This week, I did something I've never done before.  I deleted some comments made by another in one of my threads.  I did not do that, however; without first giving 12 hour notice and warning that it would take place.

This is my stand regarding the nation of Israel in these current days.  The present nation of Israel is a democracy, actually Judah; therefore not Biblical Israel, but still descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and this is a big BUT; current democratic Israel has a right to exist in the Middle East and current democratic Israel is defending Jerusalem, which is absolutely Biblical.  Zechariah  12:2-3 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.  And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.  This passage appears to be coming into fulfillment at this time with all nations coming against Jerusalem.  I'm not sure how to interpret Judah's stand in this, but clearly the intent and behavior of the rest of the world is stated.
