Prescript: I'm looking for someone to go 50/50 with me and move to either Ecuador, Costa Rica, Belize, Guatemala, or Mexico where we can make a very low income go much further with a lower cost, and higher standard, of living (than living in the States on such a low income). This includes an only income of Social Security Disability (SSDI) and/or Retirement benefits. The Social Security Administration most definitely DOES allow SSDI and/or Retirement benefits, but not Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, to be sent to recipients in most other countries! There are many books about moving and living abroad available at the public library and/or at Amazon.com . Naturally, I realize we would probably have to spend some time getting to know eachother, and finding out if we're compatible, before moving abroad together. We could even have our own separate "spaces" by choosing to rent or purchase a house or apartment with separate quarters, and still save considerable money in monthly costs compared to living in the States on the same income. If you might be interested, want to ask me some questions, and/or want to discuss it, please e-mail me at the address below.

DEMONIZING
(Written on 4-15-03)
Just because you disagree with or don't understand something, doesn't automatically or arbitrarily make what you don't understand or agree with wrong.
I have for some time realized that most people are living in a fantasy world; and I now further realize what is truly going on at the present time in the war-mongers' response to my and many others' non-violent stand against war, and it is as follows: I and the other non-violent anti-war protesters are being demonized by those who want to make the protesters out to be a threat that we are not, as a result of their fear and paranoia stemming from 9-11-01 and the so-called "War Against Terrorism", and because of their lack of understanding of why we, the protesters, are non-violently against the present wars for empire and corporate monetary gain for the members of the military-industrial complex. So, what they do is, they "paint" us as dangerous to their "normal" life and world, when it is they who are one of the greatest threats to life and the world through their willingness to allow the U.S. government to run amuck and abrogate civil liberties in the United States and abroad with the false belief(s) that doing so will protect the U.S. from terrorists and terrorism, while actually making us MUCH LESS safe from those threats.
THE NON-VIOLENT ANTI-WAR, ANTI-IMPERIALISM PROTESTERS, WITH THE VAST MAJORITY OF US BEING COMPLETELY NON-VIOLENT, AND TOTALLY AGAINST VIOLENCE, ARE NOT TERRORISTS! We are non-violently fighting against the terrorism of the U.S. government, which terrorism is what they are committing in their unprecedented, at least out in open, "preemptive", "first-strike" war(s) against weak nations like Iraq that have no chance against the might of the U.S. military. The United States and "Americans" are not better than anyone else in the world; for NOBODY is better than ANYONE else; and, if the U.S. has the right to defend itself, so do other sovereign nations like Iraq. But the U.S. government and most "Americans" act like only "Americans" and the United States have any rights in world affairs, while the U.S. government violates international law(s) over and over again with impunity, and like those other nations which have not bowed down to the "all-powerful" United States have virtually no rights to resist being overthrown and dominated by the U.S. government. Other nations have no right(s) to attempt to overthrow and dominate the United States; so what right does the U.S. have to do so to other countries, especially in light of the many facts proving that the U.S. government is the greatest threat to the world today?! "Americans" act like the United States is above being "power-mad", but the U.S. is not above power-madness, and the United States is exercising extreme power-madness at the present time!! True Americans have the duty(ies) to try to curb this!! That is what the True Democracy that is supposed to exist in the U.S. is all about!!
An ignorant neo-conservative said on C-Span that she does not understand what trying to end "racism" has to do with protesting and trying to stop war; but the understanding of said connection(s) is obvious and simple: For the United States to believe that it is superior to every other country on the face of the globe is the ultimate in bigotry; and "America" feels that all of the Arab and Islamic people(s), as well as many other non-white races, are inferior to so-called white, "American" Christians, and are expendable, which is a most extreme form of racism! Besides, throughout history, virtually all wars and/or oppressions carried out by one group of people over another, especially the ones carried out or supported by the U.S. government for over one-hundred years, have been closely tied in with racism, contrary to True Democracy! The Declaration of Independence states, "ALL (PEOPLE) ARE CREATED EQUAL...."; and NOTHING could be any more true than that truth! (Emphasis added by me.)
ALL PEOPLE in the United States and the world are also imbued with the inalienable and immutable right(s) to freedom of belief, and to express that belief in any way they believe their conscience is guiding them as long as it is not violent or aberrant; and to IN ANY WAY try to deny that or any other immutable right(s) is very serious discrimination on the basis of creed and a very extreme violation of the civil right to freedom of speech; so anti-war protesters have JUST AS MUCH right(s) to non-violently express their views as warmongers do, without having the non-violent free expression of those anti-war sentiments interfered with IN ANY WAY! Pro-war people do NOT have freedom of speech reserved for them alone, though they act like they do! Non-violent anti-war protesters have JUST AS MUCH right to freedom of speech as pro-war people do; and that EQUAL right to freedom of speech for dissenters is what the True Democracy in the U.S. is supposed to stand for, without fail, and it cannot be taken away, even in wartime, no matter what the so-called justifications are for doing so!
IT IS ANTI-DEMOCRATIC FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO FORCE IT'S WILL DOWN THE THROATS OF OTHER SOVEREIGN NATIONS, PARTICULARLY AT THE POINT OF A "FIRST-STRIKE", "PREEMPTIVE" GUN! IT IS TOTALLY AGAINST WHAT TRUE-DEMOCRACY STANDS FOR, WHAT THE TRUE-DEMOCRACY OF THE UNITED STATES IS SUPPOSED TO STAND FOR; AND IT IS MAKING THE UNITED STATES THE OPPOSITE OF DEMOCRATIC! Therefore, in exercising this antithesis of democracy against such countries as Afghanistan and Iraq, it is impossible for the U.S. to be truly "liberating" and restoring "freedom" to these countries, especially while slaughtering thousands of innocent civilians in the process! THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY! Sure, most "Americans" don't see most of the slaughter on the United States mainstream media, nor are they given the true numbers of the so-called "collateral damage" and "acceptable losses", because the "American" mainstream media is part of the imperial, corporate war and propaganda machine! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "ACCEPTABLE LOSSES" OR "COLLATERAL DAMAGE"; AND, AGAIN, IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF DEMOCRACY TO MURDER PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS OF SUPPOSEDLY LIBERATING THEM! BESIDES, NOBODY CAN LIBERATE DEAD PEOPLE, OR THE MAIMED WHO ARE GOING TO SUFFER FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES! THE LATTER ARE ALWAYS GOING TO FEEL AFRAID OF THE U.S. AND "AMERICANS", NOT FEEL LIBERATED BY THEM!
DISSENT AND PEACEFUL, NON-VIOLENT ASSEMBLY AND PROTEST ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTED RIGHTS AND DUTIES IN "AMERICA", TO BE A CHECK AND BALANCE UPON GOVERNMENT; BUT THE "AMERICANS" WHO ARE DEMONIZING THE PROTESTERS ARE NOT BEING A CHECK AND BALANCE UPON THEIR GOVERNMENT AT ALL, THEY ARE BEING THE OPPOSITE, AND THEY ARE STRIKING OUT AT THE WRONG PEOPLE, WHEN THEY SHOULD BE STRIKING OUT AGAINST THEIR GOVERNMENT THAT IS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL! THE PROTESTERS ARE NOT THE GROUP TO DEMONIZE AND RESIST; IT IS THE PRESENT, NON-DEMOCRATIC UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT THAT SHOULD, AND INDEED MUST, BE RESISTED FOR THE SAKE OF TRUE DEMOCRACY! The dissenters are attempting to preserve True Democracy and Freedom for the sake of ALL Americans, and for the sake of all people(s) the world-over. They are NOT the threat(s) to freedom and democracy; the presently-constituted U.S. government is the threat to democracy and freedom! Open your eyes and see all of the civil liberties and human rights that are presently being done away with in the guise of protecting liberty(ies) and liberating human rights! IF AMERICANS DON'T STAND UP AGAINST, AND STOP, THIS DESTRUCTION OF CIVIL LIBERTIES AND HUMAN RIGHTS, SOON WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY CIVIL OR HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE UNITED STATES OR THE REST OF THE WORLD!
THE FANTASY, "NORMAL" WORLD OF THE SAFE, UNMOLLESTED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS GONE, IF IT EVER REALLY EXISTED; AND IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE NON-VIOLENT, PEACEFUL PROTESTERS! THEY ARE BEING TRUE PATRIOTS IN SOUNDING THE MORE-THAN-JUSTIFIED ALARM THAT "THE (IMPERIALISTS) ARE COMING, THE (IMPERIALISTS) ARE COMING", AND THAT THEY'RE BRINGING WITH THEM THEIR LIES, THEIR WARMONGERING, THEIR WARMAKING, AND THEIR ABROGATION(S) OF TRUE-FREEDOM(S), IN THE GUISE OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT; AND THOSE WHO ARE GIVING THE WARNING ARE EXERCISING A GREAT DEAL OF TRUE COURAGE TO TAKE THE TRUE STAND THAT THEY ARE! READ THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AGAIN, AND AGAIN! THIS IS WHAT AMERICANS FOUGHT AGAINST WHEN WE FOUGHT AGAINST THE BRITISH EMPIRE; AND NOW A VERY SIMILAR LEVEL OF TYRANNY AND WORLD DOMINATION ARE BEING PASSED OFF ON US BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT AS STANDING FOR THE TRUE AND THE GENUINE, BY THE TOTALLY DISINGENUOUS, AGAIN! You've been taught to believe all of your life that you can completely trust and respect your government, and that all of those who don't completely trust their government, and don't go along with what they do no matter what, are supposedly anarchists and traitors; but you've been indoctrinated and conditioned with one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated on this Earth! This indoctrination and conditioning was and is perpetrated by corrupt, evil people so we wouldn't stand up for our rights; and it is they who are the traitors!
DON'T BE FOOLED! DON'T BLAME THE INNOCENT! AND DON'T BE A PART OF ALLOWING TO HAPPEN TO THE DISSIDENTS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NORTH-AMERICAN INDIANS, THE BLACK-AMERICANS AND THE JAPANESE-AMERICANS; BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO COME ABOUT IF YOU CONTINUE TO BLINDLY SUPPORT THE "UNITED STATES EMPIRE"; AND YOU WILL BE COMPLICIT IN IT BY YOUR FALSE CONDEMNATION OF THOSE EXERCISING THEIR CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS, AND BY YOUR APATHY TO WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON! PULL YOUR HEAD(S) OUT OF THE SAND, FACE WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON, AND CARRY OUT YOUR DUTY TO STAND UP AGAINST IT! FOR IT IS TRULY PATRIOTIC TO QUESTION, PROTEST AND DISSENT AGAINST ALL VIOLENCE. LOVE YOUR COUNTRY, NOT YOUR GOVERNMENT, FOR THEY DON'T GO HAND IN HAND WHEN THEY PROMOTE VIOLENCE; AND ONLY LOVE YOUR GOVERNMENT IF IT IS BEING A TRUE DEMOCRACY THAT DOES NOT PROMOTE, SUPPORT OR COMMIT VIOLENCE.
Please don't "misplace" your fear(s) and condemn those who are standing up for True Freedom(s)! The anti-imperialism, anti-war, anti-violence protesters are not the threat to you! It is much too easy to condemn the wrong people, as we have seen over and over again throughout history; so please let "perfect love cast out (your) fear(s)" and exercise nothing but True Love towards those who stand for nothing but True Justice, Democracy, Liberty, and Peace FOR ALL HUMANKIND.
May God Truly bless you.

STANDING UP FOR NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH SO HELP US GOD!
(Written on 24 April 2003 - Updated on 2 May 2003)
There are so many things that need to be said in times like this, particularly with all of the controversy(ies) going on; but people can't voice their free-speech right now without being vilified by rabid, arch-conservatives and fanatic-extremist, false-patriots who don't truly understand what they are doing. Yet people like the Dixie Chicks, with all of their "back-pedaling", are being chicken. They should have stuck by what they said "come hell or high water", because what they said was "nothing but the Truth...."! Texans, as well as all Americans, SHOULD be ashamed that Bush is from Texas, let alone from the United States at all! But, now that the Dixie Chicks haven't stayed true to what they said, they've lost all credibility with those like myself who tell it like it is and don't apologize for the Truth! Bush is a fascist; and he should be tried and convicted in federal court for being a tyrant and committing the ultimate in treason(s) by very seriously violating the Constitution of the United States, declaring an out-in-the-open "preemptive", "first-strike" war for the first time in U.S. history, commanding the commission of war crimes by ordering such a war for conquest, thereby committing war crimes himself, abrogating domestic democracy and liberty(ies), and violating international human rights! Don't mince words! The Truth is the Truth is the Truth, no matter what the fanatical followers of fascists say or do in response; and those who stand for Truth must not let the ignorant rabble-rousers intimidate them into acquiescing and/or remaining silent at a time like this, when the Truth needs to be shouted from the rooftops without fail!
More and more, what the Bush administration is now doing is reminiscent of the rise of Nazi Germany. Hitler started out with apparent good will and the promotion and instituting of apparently benign, "good" causes like the "Hitler Youth", an apparently innocent "Boy Scout" like organization, which Bush and company's falsely-patriotic, so-called "USA Freedom Corps", "Citizen Corps", "Network for Good", and their spawn, "Teen Freedom Corps", are eerily reminiscent of. But Hitler Youth very quickly degenerated into falsely-patriotic brainwashing, blind support of the State, and preparation of an unquestioning population and military to serve the extremely evil purposes of Herr Adolf, an insane sociopath, to racistly murder millions of innocent people in the name of the State. And USA Freedom Corps, Citizen Corps, Network for Good, and Teen Freedom Corps serve a very similar purpose, to further indoctrinate and condition the majority of "Americans" into ever-greater blind submission and service to the State, and to only serve those who are fellow-followers of the fraudulent majority, in the names of so-called "Freedom" and being so-called "Citizens", who aren't Truly-Free or True-Citizens AT ALL, but relegated to the heap of Nazi-like sheep!
Bush and his accomplices are also insanely sociopathic; and he and the people like him want "us" all to think alike and march in unquestioningly obedient "lock-step" to the self-destruction of a U.S.-led global corporate-military-industrial empire in which True Freedom(s) are done away with, much-like Nazi Germany operated in the 1930's and 40's! The True-Patriots CANNOT stand for this, and MUST persistently and unrelentingly seek to completely overcome it, unlike the German people failed to do, before it is too late; otherwise, whether you want to believe it or not, "America" WILL become fully tyrannous, much more than it already is, and True Freedom(s) will become a memory!
There were those like the great German True-Patriot, Hermann Hesse, who sounded the warnings about the Kaiser's "Nationalism", and Hitler's "Nazism", the movements of anti-freedom run amuck in Hesse's day, who, because of the Nationalism sweeping the nation since just before World War I, chose to get away from the dangerous government-supporting fanatics, to be able to continue to stand up for the Truth, and to try and help the German people, from "without". Hesse emigrated to Switzerland, where he continued to be a staunch opponent of Nationalism and Nazism, and to publish articles trying to open the eyes of the German people, as well as the rest of the world, to what was really going on. But, by and large, they were not believed or listened to until it was too late! Is such blind conformity and subservience to evil what "America" is repeating today?! I cannot stand by and let that happen, and I won't!! Will you?!
If people like Jesus the Christ, the Apostles, Francis of Assisi, Martin Luther, Mahatma Gandhi, Henry David Thoreau, and/or Martin Luther King, Jr. were alive today, they would in one way or another be "crucified", as they were in their day(s)! If God Himself was walking the face of the Earth today in the person of Christ Jesus, the majority of people would murder him, much like they murdered him two-thousand years ago. And even the professed, so-called Christians would be some of the first to commit such murders, and soon will, again, those who stand for the Truth as they did! As I've said before, most people don't want the Truth; what they want are the lies, and to bow down to their lord and master, the (p)rince of (d)arkness, that old snake, the devil, mammon, the love of money, war, etc.; and most of them will not be deterred from serving their evil master(s), and from harming those who stand for nothing but what is right!
"As it is written...." "Thus says the Lord...." "....(A)s it was in the days of (the first coming of Jesus), so will also (the days of second coming) of the Son of man (Jesus) be...."! (Matthew 24:37.)
Therefore, if the above True Teachers and Dissenters against the common delusions of governments and the majority(ies) of people, were vilified and murdered for standing against all that is evil and wrong in the world in their time(s), it should not be surprising that the Dissenters of today are threatened, attacked and murdered for doing likewise! But they must NOT be diverted from ONLY standing for Truth, no matter what befalls them; and they have great courage to surmount those odds! But those who waffle, as the Dixie Chicks have done, show a great LACK of courage, and are only "respected" by those who they "sell out" to! Many people who have only pulled their heads part way out of the sand, don't want to pull them all of the way out; but they must if there is to be any True Hope for them! We cannot allow the destroyers to destroy unopposed; and we must be very clear about their evil(s), and that they who commit such evil(s) are not to IN ANY WAY be respected or supported, even upon threatened, or actual, imprisonment and/or death!
All of the foregoing Civil Rights Advocates and Activists were very clear about the evil(s) of their generation of fraudulent "leaders". They did not spare anyone from the Truth(s) they needed to hear; and we must not hesitate to speak the Truth about the evil, fascist, appointed-"President" that "we" now have as the supposedly supreme ruler of the United States at this time! This is our Truly-Patriotic right and DUTY to do as Americans; and at least the Dixie Chick who dared to utter the words of Truth that she did, stuck by that right and duty, even if she did wrongly "hold her tongue" from the point that the controversy started; and I hope and pray all "Americans" become True Americans and cease hesitating to tell it like it is! There is NO greater duty than this!
"As it is written...." "Thus says the Lord...." "Cry aloud, spare not (and/or have no pity), lift up your voice(s) like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression(s), and the house of Jacob their sins(!) Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: (T)hey ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. 'Wherefore have we fasted and You see it not (they say)'? '(W)herefore have we afflicted our soul(s), and You take no notice'? Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors. BEHOLD, YOU FAST FOR STRIFE AND DEBATE, AND TO SMITE WITH THE FIST OF WICKEDNESS: YOU WILL NOT FAST AS YOU DO THIS DAY, TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD ON HIGH(!) IS THIS THE FAST THAT I (THE LORD YOUR GOD) HAVE CHOSEN? A DAY FOR A MAN TO AFFLICT HIS SOUL (AND/OR TO DISCIPLINE HIS INNER EMOTIONS)? IS IT TO BOW DOWN HIS HEAD AS A BULRUSH, AND TO SPREAD SACKCLOTH AND ASHES UNDER HIM? WILL YOU CALL THIS A FAST, AND AN ACCEPTABLE DAY TO THE LORD? IS NOT THIS THE FAST THAT I (THE LORD YOUR GOD) HAVE CHOSEN? TO (SEEK TO STOP THE CONTROLING FORCES) OF WICKEDNESS, TO UNDO THE HEAVY BURDENS, AND TO LET THE OPPRESSED GO FREE, AND THAT YOU BREAK EVERY (HINDRANCE TO FREEDOM WITHOUT MURDERING PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS)? IS IT NOT TO DEAL YOUR BREAD TO THE HUNGRY, AND THAT YOU BRING THE POOR TO YOUR HOUSE? WHEN YOU SEE THE NAKED, THAT YOU COVER (THEM); AND THAT YOU NOT HIDE YOURSELF FROM YOUR OWN FLESH (AND/OR ANY OF MANKIND)? THEN (AND ONLY THEN) WILL YOUR LIGHT BREAK FORTH AS THE MORNING, AND YOUR HEALTH WILL SPRING FORTH SPEEDILY: AND YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL GO BEFORE YOU; THEN (AND ONLY THEN) THE GLORY OF THE LORD WILL BE YOUR PROTECTION(!) THEN (AND ONLY THEN) YOU WILL CALL, AND THE LORD WILL ANSWER; YOU WILL CRY, AND HE WILL SAY, 'HERE I AM'. IF you take away from your midst the (restrictions on freedom), the pointing of fingers at others', and speaking vainly (or in vain); (a)nd IF you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the suffering soul(s); then (and ONLY then) will your light rise in obscurity, and your darkness will be as noonday: (A)nd (then and ONLY then) the Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make your bones strong: (A)nd (then and ONLY then) you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters will not fail. And (then and ONLY then) those who are with you will build the old deserted places: (Then and ONLY then) you will raise up the foundations of many generations; and you will be called, 'The repairer of the breach (to safety and peace), The restorer of (worthy) paths to (walk) in....'"! (Isaiah 58:1-12.) There are NO other paths worthy of walking in, but to ONLY satisfy God's expectations and receive of His blessings; but those who do not satisfy His expectations, will NOT receive these blessings; therefore, we MUST STOP the doing of ALL evil(s) to ALL other people(s)!
Bush and company believe they are, and claim to be, people of God and doing His will; but they are neither! On the contrary, they are doers of great evil(s), and are deceiving the vast majority of "Americans", just as the Word(s) of God predicted that such people would do! But they do NOT fool the doers of great good who ONLY do great good; and those doers of only great good will stand up against the doers of evil, especially the doers of great evil(s) like Bush and company are committing, no matter what; for, if they do not cry out against the shedding of innocent blood, few if any will be turned from being a part of doing the great evil(s); but, if they do cry out against it, many can AND WILL be turned from doing so!
Committing NO evil(s) against our fellowman is CLEARLY what we must ONLY stand for, even against all of the so-called rationales for vengeance-for-vengeance, violence-for-violence, and war-for-war! It is obvious that ALL wars are evil; and there is no excuse for evil(s) of ANY and ALL kinds! Giving evil for evil ONLY brings about more evil! The ONLY way(s) to stop the evil is to stop the continuation of retaliation(s), revenge, violence, war, and bloodshed. ANYONE WHO CONDONES, PROMOTES AND PERPETRATES THE CONTINUATIONS OF RETALIATION(S), REVENGE, VIOLENCE, WAR, AND THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD, IS EVIL, IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED AT ALL, AND IS NOT TO BE SUPPORTED OR FOLLOWED IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER, FOR THEY STAND FOR THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT GOD STANDS FOR!!
"As it is written...." "Thus says the Lord...." "....(A)bide in (God); that, when he (returns), we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His (return). Behold, what manner of love (God) the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize Him. Beloved, now are we the sons of God (if we ONLY do His will), and it does not yet appear what we will be, but we know that when He (returns), we will be like Him; for we will see Him as He is. And every (person) that has this hope in (them) purifies (themselves), even as He is pure. Whoever commits evil also transgresses (God's) Law: for evil is the transgression of (God's) Law. And you know that He was manifested to take away our evil, and in Him is no evil. WHOEVER ABIDES IN HIM DOES NOT COMMIT EVIL: WHOEVER DOES COMMIT EVIL HAS NOT SEEN HIM, AND NEITHER DO THEY KNOW HIM(!) (PEOPLE), LET NO (PERSON) DECEIVE YOU: THOSE WHO DO RIGHTEOUS ACTS ARE RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS. THEY WHO COMMIT EVIL ARE OF THE DEVIL; FOR THE DEVIL COMMITTED EVIL FROM THE BEGINNING. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE COULD DESTROY THE COMMITTING OF EVIL. WHOEVER IS (RE)BORN OF GOD DOES NOT COMMIT EVIL; FOR (GOD'S TRUTH) REMAINS IN THEM: AND THEY CANNOT COMMIT EVIL, BECAUSE THEY ARE (RE)BORN OF GOD. IN THIS WAY THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE REVEALED, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: WHOEVER DOES NOT DO RIGHTEOUS ACTS IS NOT OF GOD, AND NEITHER ARE THEY WHO DO NOT LOVE THEIR BROTHERS...."! (1 John 2:28-29 and 3:1-10.) Once again, people who commit ANY evil(s) are NOT God's people!
Just as during the evil Vietnam War, Richard Nixon was called "Tricky Dick" because of how tricky and evil he was, George W. Bush is also very tricky, sneaky and making evil(s) appear to be for good, for "democracy", for "freedom", and for "peace", while they are NOT truly for any of those good and useful purposes; therefore, as Dick Nixon was, "Sneaky George" is an anti-Christ and must not be followed or supported IN ANY WAY(S) WHATSOEVER!! To support the troops, trained professional murderers, is to support him and his evil ways, and to support the evils that the troops commit; and right-conscienced individuals cannot support or follow evil IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM, for to do so is to be complicit in, and to be part of being responsible for, those evil(s)!! The young kids who are trained to do the bidding of the rich, though they are of course to be properly pitied, are not guiltless; for they are responsible, even if "only" following orders, and will be held COMPLETELY accountable by God, for ALL of the murders they commit!!
Evidence is almost constantly coming out and accumulating about how corrupt and evil the Bush administration is, and how little the American public can trust them. It just came out recently that, with regards to the Timothy McVeigh prosecution and execution, very important evidence that WOULD very likely have made a difference in the outcome of his defense was withheld from Tim McVeigh's lawyers; though, of course, the Justice Department, run by the very evil member of Bush's cabinet, Attorney General John Ashcroft, claims it would not have made a difference in the outcome of McVeigh's defense; but, at minimum, his defense team would have very likely been able to get a longer delay-of-execution in order to examine "tons" of other evidence that they were not given by the prosecution until it was forever too late, another proof that the death penalty is totally unjust! It also proves that the "American" judicial system, and especially the Bush administration, are not to be trusted at all, and that those who blindly trust them to usually and truly be just, are living in a fantasy world! In reality there is little or no True Justice to be had at any level of the judicial system, or with the extremely evil Bush administration!
The level of adoration and adulation of "'President'-by-Coup" Bush by the so-called majority of "American" citizens is truly amazing and bizarre considering how evil and fascist he is! In response to his speech aboard the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, officially announcing on May 1st, 2003 that the war in Iraq is allegedly over, a woman who was interviewed on C-Span said that Mr. Bush is supposedly very genuine, when he is one of the most non-genuine or disingenuous persons, particularly of U.S. government "caliber", including his entire cabinet, in existence today; and it goes to show just how "advanced" the level of deception of the "American" people is, both by his administration and the powers of darkness, and just how much it has succeeded and is succeeding; and this is yet another "sign of the times" of just how evil the time in which we are presently living really is! As has occurred again and again all through history, the majority the citizens are completely deceived into blindly supporting their government, thereby themselves committing great evil(s), and/or being complicit in them, by doing so!
NOBODY, except those who do NOT commit ANY evil(s), are spared from being responsible and accountable for ALL of the evils, including but not limited to killing other people, they are directly involved in, or complicit in by indirectly supporting, IN ANY WAY(S)! Once more, there is and/or are NO excuse(s) for evil(s); and EVERYONE will have to answer for ALL of the evils they commit or are IN ANY WAY involved in, either directly or indirectly. This makes it incumbent upon us NOT to support ANY evil(s) IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WHATSOEVER; otherwise, we WILL be destroyed by God for our "part(s)" in them; and NO ONE that has been a part of them will IN ANY WAY escape the punishment for them!
"As it is written...." "Thus says the Lord...." "....But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, AND MURDERERS, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, AND ALL LIARS, will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death (and/or destruction)"! And there will in no way enter into (heaven) any thing that defiles, neither any thing that works abomination[s] (and/or evil[s]), and makes lies: but (ONLY) those who are written in the Lamb's (Jesus the Christ's) book of life"! (Revelation 21:8 and 27.) [Emphasis added by me.] The(se) Word(s) of God make(s) it very clear that all liars and/or murderers are going to be COMPLETELY destroyed!
The ONLY Hope is in True Faith in God and ONLY AND ALWAYS standing up for and/or supporting Truth, and in not shying away from doing so NO MATTER WHAT, unlike what the Dixie Chicks and many others' like them have done; so please do NOT prevaricate or deviate from speaking and standing up for the Truth, no matter how much you are persecuted for it, for your Truly Positive and Ultimate reward(s) for doing so will be much greater than anything on this Earth if you don't commit or have any part in any evil(s) whatsoever!
Let us work towards the soon-to-be day of final reward(s) by standing up, NO MATTER WHAT, for NOTHING BUT the Truth, so help us God!!

U.S.-EUROPEAN RELATIONS
(Written on 29 April 2003)
The United States government, as the alleged single, greatest superpower, with it's power at this time "going to it's head" to the extreme, expects the allied-nations that stood up against the 2003 Iraq war, which include Russia, Germany, France, and others', to bow down to them, and the United Nations (U.N.) to bow down to the U.S. as well. All of this, though it may appear otherwise, is leading to globalization and/or one-world government, with the United States as the "primary power" leading out in it; and even though, as predicted by prophecy in the Word(s) of God, the Bible, the one-world government is going to soon become an unavoidable, evil reality, the countries of France, Germany and Russia, as well as all of the other members of the European Union (E.U.), should resist it "tooth and nail". But, unfortunately, pockets will probably be lined, and they will no doubt cave in and join with the one-world government; for, after all, the European nations have been leading towards this with their own "globalization" via their setting up the E.U. in the first place.
The Word(s) of God make it very clear that the setting up of a one-world government will be extremely evil because it will be brought about with a permanent cessation of human and civil rights through the overthrowing of the Constitutional separation of church and state in the U.S., enforced observance of a false-Christianity with the false "Lord's Day" of Sunday on penalty of imprisonment and/or death for failing to obey the "Sunday Law(s)" instituted to enforce it, and the institution of an I.D. system, starting with all citizens of the U.S., and then the world, that will only allow those who conform to this despotic system to be able to carry on commerce or to obtain the necessities of life, and prevent all those who do not bow down to it from doing either. (SEE Revelation, Chapter 13.) In other words, regardless of the inevitability of the formation of the one-world government, since it is evil, all Truly Free countries and citizens must resist it; otherwise, they too will be conforming to the greatest evil ever perpetrated in the United States and the world.
What Bush and company are doing at the present time is inexorably leading to all of the foregoing. They, as part of the so-called "Religious Right", who no doubt really believe that what they are deceived into doing is right, are in the process of bringing about religious despotism that has never before been seen on the face of the Earth. The closest thing to it is the Inquisition of the Dark Ages. The difference is that Bush and company are about to bring into existence the FINAL "Dark Age" of this planet. The similarity is that they are doing so in the guise of rightness and goodness, much like the great evil of the Catholic Church's Inquisition. Not coincidentally, the Catholic Church is the ultimate evil, earthly power behind what the "Religious Right", and Bush and company, are now bringing into existence, and it will rival and surpass the Inquisition for atrocities against freedom and humanity. And, not surprisingly, if we think the violations of human and civil rights by the U.S. government at the present time are atrocious, the violations yet to come will make them pale by comparison.
The question is not whether the above-referenced events are going to transpire, for they most-certainly will; but the question is what are "We, The People", not just The People of the United States, but also The People of the World, going to do NOW in the face of it? We must NOT just sit back and let it happen; and we must DO everything we can to slow down this nefarious trend! As the French and others' resisted Nazism during WW2, we have to resist the fascism that is being perpetrated today by the U.S. government. America's democracy is being torn apart; and, like many people in Europe during WW2 did, most "Americans" are rolling over and going back to sleep rather than exercising their duty to stand up against it.
We've got to wake up, and wake others' up to what's really going on, as the resistance movement did in France and Holland during the Second World War. More than anything, we've got to get the truth out to more of the people, to combat the disinformation and propaganda lies that most "Americans" are being fed by the government and the media, like the resistance fighters also had to do. There is so much we can do. Start your own little "resistance of fascism" movements in your own communities. Pass out flyers and/or newspapers with the truth, like the French Resistance did. Remove any material you can that in any way glorifies "Appointed-Fascist" Bush and his co-conspirators.
In any and all ways you can, resist! Don't let ANYONE tell and convince you that The People have to worship their "President", never questioning him and what he does, and bow down to their or any other government! Under the United States system of democracy, the system of True Democracy that is supposed to exist in the U.S. and the world-over, the opposite is true! When what is being done is wrong, as much of what is being done now is, it is our duty to speak out, dissent and protest against it! Other than serving God, there is NO OTHER greater duty for American citizens, and world-citizens, to do; and we should see to it that it is our highest priority, and carry it out without flinching; for there is NOTHING to be ashamed of in standing up for nothing but the truth!
"It is written, thus says the Lord [God in Jesus the Christ, the Word(s) of God]...." "Get... behind (Jesus)...."! "You will worship the Lord your God, AND HIM ONLY WILL YOU SERVE (AND BOW DOWN TO)"! Otherwise, "(y)ou are of your father the devil, and the (false desires and lies) of your father (the devil) you... do(!) He was a murderer from the beginning (as his servants like George W. Bush and his administration, and those who worship his kind, are), and live not in the truth, because there is NO truth in (them)(!) When (they) speak (lies, they) speak only for (themselves): for they are (liars)(!) And because I tell you the truth, you choose not to believe me(!) (None) of you can prove that I am wrong... (a)nd (since) I (am) telling you the truth, why do you not believe me? (Because they) who (are) of God hear (believe and obey ONLY) GOD (in Jesus the Christ's) (W)ord(s) [AND ONLY WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN TO GOD]: (and) you therefore (who) do not hear [believe and obey ONLY GOD in Jesus the Christ's (W)ord{s}, and worship and bow down to evil men like Bush and company, who are NOT of God]... are (also) NOT of God [UNLESS YOU ONLY HEAR, BELIEVE AND OBEY GOD IN JESUS THE CHRIST'S WORD(S), DO NOT AT ALL HEAR, BELIEVE OR OBEY EVIL PEOPLE'S WORDS, AND DO NOT AT ALL WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN TO EVIL PEOPLE LIKE BUSH AND COMPANY]"! (Luke 4:8; and John 8:44-47 [Emphasis added by me].)
Many people no doubt think that if the majority of people are allowing the aforementioned state of affairs to come about, then they deserve what they get; and they undoubtedly WILL deserve what they get; but, in the process of bringing down upon themselves what they will, they will also be bringing it down upon the heads of many people who will not deserve what will happen to them as a result. And it is for the sake of those many people who will not deserve what is going to transpire, that we ALL have the duty to delay this trend for as long as possible. After that, "Even so, come (quickly) Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22:20), and may what has to eventually happen to bring about His return happen soon!
There is much too much suffering going on in the world that needs to be alleviated as soon as possible; but the suffering that will happen soon, just prior to the Lord's second coming, is much worse than ANYTHING we have yet seen! It will be truly awful at that soon to occur time, both for those who don't deserve it AND for those who do, which is all the more reason for EVERYONE, even those who think in their bigoted, racist thinking that they want to bring "hell" down upon the heads of the truly innocent, to also non-violently fight against the evil abolishment of human rights and civil liberties, along with the many non-violent resisters, dissenters, dissidents, and protesters!
Fortunately, we are already seeing the above happen with the many "conservatives" and veterans marching with the "liberals" and the non-veteran peace protesters in the many anti-war demonstrations that have been happening for quite some time all over the United States and the world. Many people who thought they would never take part in a protest, have recently gone to their first one(s); and they are very happy to lend their presence and voice(s) to the cause of peace, especially against unprovoked wars of aggression for empire, by the U.S., against small, defenseless countries who did NOTHING to attack, and had NO involvement in attacking, the United States!
Thousands of people are being slaughtered at the hands of those, including but not, by far, limited to the George W. Bush administration, who have a racist mindset that those innocent people are expendable, and who are hell-bent upon taking over their countries, their subsequent governments', and their natural resources for the primary gain of a relatively few elitists, compared to, and at the very serious expense of, a much larger majority of impoverished, defenseless, innocent people, most of whom have not committed ANY crime(s) whatsoever, and are having their lives irreparably harmed forever, if not taken away from them outright, in an extremely murderous process of unbridled, and unjustifiable, military conquest!
What an awful example the so-called "Christian" country of the United States is setting for the entire world, particularly for the Muslim world! The Muslims, and the many other non-Christians, the world-over are thinking and/or saying, or soon will, as they have been saying for hundreds of years, "This is what Christianity (and the supposedly freest country on Earth) stands for?! If that is so, I do not want to have anything to do with Christianity!" Yet, Judeo-Christianity believes it has as its first and foremost duty and mission to bring Muslims out of their religion and into Judeo-Christianity; and this "Judeo-Christianity" is the religion that Bush and Company, the "Religious Right", and the military-industrial-corporate-government imperialists, and their allies, falsely and hypocritically claim to believe in and represent, while slaughtering thousands, even millions, of completely innocent men, women, children, and little babies who will never have the opportunity to see the non-hypocritical, unconditionally-loving side of True Christianity!
ALL of the foregoing imperialistic hypocrites are terrorists! They are bringing untold terror into the lives of millions of innocent peoples' lives for the sake of their "love of money, the root of ALL evil(s)"! They lie to us "right and left", claiming we have to do what "we" are doing for the sake of "Peace", "Freedom", and bringing "Democracy", "Liberation", "Justice", and "Security" to these people and the world; and most "Americans" believe it, or "look the other way"! It is disgusting, deplorable, unconscionable, and inexcusable for those who claim to be part of "the greatest Christian country in the world" to do this; and if this is what "America", "Americans", "Security", "Justice", "Liberation", "Democracy", "Freedom", and "Peace" "looks like", the innocent people who are being slaughtered for them, and those like myself who stand up for nothing but the Truth, want nothing to do with those versions of same! It is claimed that those of us who stand up against those false versions of "Freedom", etcetera, are ungrateful for that so-called "Freedom" at the cost of the lives of the thousands of their innocent "brothers" and "sisters", as well as many of their own innocent family members, including little children and babies! NO! They are NOT ungrateful! The protesters are NOT ungrateful! And people like myself, who do nothing but non-violently and peacefully "tell it like it is", are NOT ungrateful! ALL of us simply SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT, CANNOT, AND WILL NOT accept this fraudulent, so-called "form", of "Freedom", this biggest of LIES that is NOT Freedom AT ALL; and there is NO greater duty and responsibility than to not believe ANY such lies, and as I've said before, to stand up against them in any, every and ALL way(s) that we can!
At the turn of the previous century, in and around 1900, most "Americans", except for those few like Mark Twain, were fooled into believing that "America" should be a "great" empire, and that the white man was superior to all other "races". The U.S. conquered the Philippines with the racist zeal existent at the time, slaughtering thousands upon thousands of Filipinos, falsely believing them to be inferior, much like the black-Americans were falsely considered to be; and history is repeating itself, as usual, at the turn of this century, with the majority of "Americans" again duped into believing that the United States should conquer other nations with an underlying racist agenda, and be a "great" empire again, at the expense of millions of innocent, so-called inferior, peoples' lives that are supposedly a threat to "our" empire, who are not at all a threat to the U.S. whatsoever. Mark Twain more than rightly decried such a state of affairs; and I decry this repeating history of racist aggression by "America"! More and more Americans must, and are, standing up against this travesty against the Truth that "ALL (PEOPLE) ARE CREATED EQUAL"! This is what "America" stands for, or is supposed to stand for, not racism of ANY kind! How can "we", who claim to be so democratic, tolerate this situation?! WE MUST NOT!!
What this all comes down to, in closing, is that We, The People should stand up against present United States foreign policy(ies), as Russia, Germany, France, and others' are doing, rather than berating other countries like their's for not bowing down to the "all-powerful", egocentric, egotistical, racist United States. They are only trying to do what's Truly right; and we should do the same. Bowing down to a government, "our own" government, that is fast becoming more and more fascist, and exercising more and more fascist policies and actions, is NOT what is right, or the right way to go, anymore than the vast majority of German citizens "going along" with what the Nazi regime did was in any way right or the right way to go!
As the Declaration of Independence says, "....(C)hoose new guards (not simply by voting) for (our, and the country's) future security"! Do this, People, before it is forever too late, and it will bring about True U.S.-European relations, at least between those of us who Truly stand up for what is right in the United States, and those who truly stand up for what is right in France, Germany, Russia, and the rest of world, as well as bring(ing) about True Love, Peace, Freedom, Democracy, Equality, Justice, greater Security, and True Liberation, at least for a time, for the sake of the entire world; and let there be NOTHING BUT True Liberation, Security, Justice, Equality, Democracy, Freedom, Peace, and Love FOR ALL HUMANKIND, at THIS, THE PRESENT time, without bowing down to, and/or worshipping, ANY evil powers and people IN ANY WAY(S) WHATSOEVER!!

ADMISSIONS
(Written on 15 May 2003 - Updated on 18 May 2003)
The present Bush administration has now indirectly admitted that the most recent war against Iraq WAS carried out for oil; though many politicians, like former Secretary of State (during the Clinton administration), Madeleine Albright, claimed that this second Iraq war was not about oil, or that they did not believe it was! But these people knew it was about oil, and they lied to us! What else is new, right? At this time the Bush administration is seeking the formal recognition and resolution(s) by the United Nations (U.N.) that the United States will control Iraqi oil with the approval of the international "community", which will very-possibly benefit other countries in the U.N. financially, though U.S. corporations and the U.S. government will benefit the most, at the expense and sacrifice, as usual, of the Iraqi people and anyone else who "threatens" the huge expansionary, monetarily profit-making quest for world domination by the United States government and it's military-industrial corporations!!
A great many people knew well before the war against Iraq that, if it was carried out, it would of course be about Iraq's oil, and they were very vocal about that fact, as well as many other facts; for those who know and face what is really going on, know about the Machiavellian machinations of the corporate-military-industrial-U.S. government complex, and that, like corporate employees who they have no true regard for except that they bring about profits and expansion for the corporation(s), EVERYONE is expendable, except those at the top, for the sake of reaching their goals and monetary gains; and, in Iraq, they have again sacrificed thousands of innocent lives for much more money, and a great deal more power for the United States Empire! And, what is most disgusting of all, this illegal war of aggression was supposedly carried out with the approval of the majority of the "American" people, those who allegedly represent the most compassionate, "Christian" country on Earth!!
Never mind that the Sixth Commandment, from the foremost Law, says, "YOU WILL NOT KILL"! (Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17; and Romans 13:9 [emphasis added by me].) The Machiavellian, so-called "Christians", will sacrifice anybody and anything in pursuit of their supposedly laudable aims, no matter how many lives it costs! They have NO true regard for human lives who "stand in the way" of white-corporate-military-industrial-U.S. government domination of the entire world; and they will brainwash any number of people, "use" any number of people, and murder any number of people in order to carry out their murderous Imperialistic means!!
Many "Americans" are being led to believe, and actually do believe, that "hawks" like Colin Powell are supposedly "doves", and that disagreement and "in-fighting" is going on in the Bush administration over the aforesaid policies and actions; but G.W. did not choose Colin Powell, and other so-called moderates, lightly and without knowing, without a doubt, that they would give him their complete support for those murderous, fascist policies and actions; and this "show of moderation" is nothing but a part of their "theater of the macabre" to further distract and gain the support of the cowed masses of "American" people, those who do not want to, and will not, pull their heads out of the sand, or, if their heads are partway out of the sand, will not pull them all the way out of the sand and face just how evil the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Ashcroft "axis of evil" really is, and that the latter will virtually stop at nothing to gain their white-corporate-military-industrial-political ends!!
The Colin Powells' of this world are the "black faces" being used, for the time being, to bring about the foregoing; and if they don't "toe the party line", they will be eliminated! No acquiescence, except for show, is tolerated; and these evil-controlled "people" are of "like-mind", or, if they were not of like-mind on all things, they wouldn't dare let it show! If any of them "repented" of their part in the present course of U.S. government domination of the world, they would have to get out of the administration completely, and they would not be able, or allowed, to work on reforming this evil administration "from within", nor could they have ANY part in it's evils anymore, in any way, shape or form, for to be a part of such evil(s) is to be complicit in committing them, and responsible and accountable for ALL of the evil(s) committed with or without their knowledge! In God's eyes, there is NO escape from responsibility and accountability for remaining connected to any evil(s) whatsoever!!
But, getting back to Iraq, so-called concern is expressed over whether the Iraqi people will be able to handle supposedly being "free(d)" from "authoritarian" domination by the Saddam Hussein regime, as if the Bush administration and U.S. government's present domination of them is not authoritarian! It is ludicrous, and literally insane, to really believe that the U.S. corporate-military-industrial-government domination of Iraq is not as authoritarian as the previous Iraqi government was, as it is just as insanely ludicrous to believe that true war-hawks like Colin Powell are supposedly peace-doves within the Bush camp!!
Of course the United State's imperialistic conquering and control of Iraq is authoritarian, as the U.S. government's present overall system of operation is authoritarian, both at "home" and over the entire globe! As the definition of the word authoritarian is delineated in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, "1 : characterized by or favoring the principle of blind obedience to authority (and) 2 : characterized by or favoring concentration of political power in an authority not responsible to the people", both are EXACTLY what "we" have in existence NOW in both the U.S. and Iraq! The ONLY way anyone in their right mind could believe otherwise is if their head is still buried deep in the sand, and they refuse to pull it out (COMPLETELY), like most "Americans" refuse to do!!
Millions of world-citizens, including millions of Americans, realize what is really going on in the United States, and what is really going on in the way(s) the U.S. government is carrying out it's AUTHORITARIAN foreign AND DOMESTIC policy(ies); but, as has occurred to those throughout history, the world-over, who realized what was really going on, the True Americans who are facing and exercising their DUTY(IES) to stand up against what is really going on are being, and/or are very soon to be even more, severally tyrannized, oppressed and terrorized, as millions of non-Americans in Iraq and all around the globe are being, right now!!
By the United States government seeking the official acceptance of the United Nations for their control of Iraqi oil, by their illegal, out-in-the-open, "first-strike" overthrow of the sovereign government of Iraq leading up to it, and by their obviously-tyrannous oppression and terrorism in the U.S. and abroad, the Bush administration and the U.S. government have clearly admitted, directly and/or indirectly, that they are an extremely tyrannous authoritarian police-state that does NOT truly have the best interests of world-citizens and Americans at heart, and that they are an extremely oppressive imperialistic, terrorist government that demands the DUTY of ALL Truly Free people(s) to RESIST, along with ALL of these evil "authorities'" undermining of True Democracy and Freedom(s), hypocrisy, vindictiveness, revenge, retaliation(s), racism, bigotry, prejudice(s), discrimination(s), violence, wars, murder(s), and terrorism the world-over!!
The simplest and best defining of terrorists is that they inflict terror; and that is what the U.S. government, the U.S. military and U.S. troops are inflicting "systematic(ly)... esp(ecially) as a means of coercion", terrorizing "to coerce by threat or violence", and "to fill with terror" and "horror"; and they are horrifying millions of people all over the world!! (The Merriam-Webster Dictionary.) If you are NOT horrified by ALL of the inexcusable slaughter that is going on in this world right now, at the hands of the U.S. government, and not moved to great non-violent indignation by it, you are blind(ed), very wrongly desensitized, indifferent, insensitive, inhumane, and ruthless (without True Compassion), like the U.S. government and it's followers are; and you are part of them and the problem(s), rather than part of the solution(s)!! Beware, for people are now being taken over by great evil, and being controlled by it!!
IT IS THE DUTY OF ALL OF US TO, AND WE MUST, RESIST, AND DISSENT ("to withhold assent", or "consent", from and/or to), AVOID ANY COMPLICITY IN, AND STAND UP AGAINST SO THAT WE HAVE NO PART IN, ANY AND/OR ALL OF THESE EVILS, BEFORE MORE THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE INDIFFERENTLY, INHUMANELY AND RUTHLESSLY MURDERED AT THE DESIRE OF EVIL AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! (Id., The Merriam-Webster Dictionary.)
WE ARE NOT POWERLESS!! WE CAN EFFECT GREAT CHANGE(S) FOR THE BETTER, AND STOP THIS SENSELESS U.S. GOVERNMENT AGGRESSION AND TERRORISM!! LET'S BE PART OF THE SOLUTION(S), NOT PART OF THE DOERS OF THESE GREAT EVIL(S)!! LET'S DO IT, NOW!!
"Thus says the Lord (God in Jesus the Christ)...." "As it is written...." "The first of all the commandments is... '(Y)ou will love the Lord your God with all of your heart, and with all of your soul, ...with all of your mind, and with all of your strength': this is the first (great) commandment (that ONLY summarizes, but does not do away with ANY of, the other ten commandments). And the second is like (the first), namely this, 'You will love (ALL of) your neighbor(s) as yourself'. There is no other commandment greater than these...."! "You will NOT steal(!) You will NOT (lie to) your neighbor (or your citizens)[!] You will NOT (seek after)... ANY THING that is your neighbor's...."! "Love does NO evil to their neighbor(s): therefore (L)ove is the fulfilling of the law...."! (Mark 12:29-31; Exodus 20:13-17 [Deuteronomy 5:17-21]; and Romans 13:10 [Galatians 5:14; and James 2:8-13].) [Emphasis added by me.]
"...(T)he fruit(s) of righteousness (are implanted) in (P)eace from those who make (P)eace. From where do wars and (violence) among you (come from)? (Do) they not (come)... from your desires that war (inside you)?

"A NUCLEAR ROAD OF NO RETURN"
"Bush's bid for new kinds of weapons
could put the world on a suicidal course."

"It turns out the threat is not from Iraq but from us."
"On Sunday, the Washington Post wrote the obituary for the United States' effort to find Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction. "Frustrated, U.S. Arms Team to Leave Iraq," read the headline, confirming what has become an embarrassing truth - that the central rationale for the invasion and occupation of oil-rich Iraq was in fact one of history's great frauds.
"The arms inspectors "are winding down operations without finding proof that President Saddam Hussein kept clandestine stocks of outlawed arms," reported the Post, putting the lie to Colin Powell's Feb. 6 claim at the United Nations that Iraq possessed a functioning program to build nuclear bombs and had hoarded hundreds of tons of chemical and biological materials.
"Unfortunately, this does not necessarily mean the world is a safer place. The deadly weapons of mass destruction have proved phantom in Iraq, but the Bush administration is now doing its best to ensure that the world becomes increasingly unstable and armed to the teeth. Although the nuclear threat from Iraq proved to be nonexistent, the United States' threat to use nuclear weapons and make a shambles of nuclear arms control is alarmingly vibrant.
"In its latest bid to frighten the planet into a constant state of shock and awe, our government is accelerating its own leading-edge weapons-of-mass-destruction program: President Bush's allies on the Senate Armed Services Committee have approved ending a decade-old ban on developing atomic battlefield weapons and endorsed moving ahead with creating a nuclear "bunker-buster" bomb. They also rubber-stamped the administration's request for funds to prepare for a quick resumption of nuclear weapons testing.
"What's going on here? Having failed to stop a gang of marauders armed with nothing more intimidating than box cutters, the U.S. is now using the "war on terror" to pursue a long-held hawkish Republican dream of a "winnable nuclear war," as the president's father memorably described it to me in a 1980 Times interview. In such a scenario, nukes can be preemptively used against a much weaker enemy - millions of dead civilians, widespread environmental devastation and centuries of political blowback be damned....."!!
VERY IMPORTANT FAMOUS QUOTATIONS
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

"All I ask is that, in the midst of a murderous world, we agree to reflect on murder and to make a choice. After that, we can distinguish those who accept the consequences of being murderers themselves or the accomplices of murderers, and those who refuse to do so with all their force and being. Since this terrible dividing line does actually exist, it will be a gain if it be clearly marked. Over the expanse of five continents throughout the coming years an endless struggle is going to be pursued between violence and friendly persuasion, a struggle which, granted, the former has a thousand times more chances of success than does the latter. But I have always held that, if he who bases his hopes on human nature is a fool, he who gives up in the face of circumstances is a coward. And henceforth, the only honorable course will be to stake everything on a formidable gamble: that words are more powerful than munitions." -- Albert Camus.
"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." ---Leading Nazi leader, Hermann Goering, speaking on his own behalf at the Nuremberg Trials before he was sentenced to death.
"All this was inspired by the principle -- which is quite true in itself -- that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily, and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes." Mein Kampf ---Adolf Hitler, fascist dictator of Germany and other countries during WW2.
"War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying, losses." "The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it." ---Thomas Jefferson, U.S. founding father, President and statesman.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that." ---Martin Luther King, Jr., assassinated American spiritual leader, and human and civil rights activist.
"Non-cooperation with injustice is a sacred duty." ---Mahatma Gandhi, assassinated Indian spiritual leader, and human and civil rights activist.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ---Mahatma Gandhi.
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." ---Albert Einstein, physicist and political commentator.
"The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true." ---Albert Enstein.
"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts." ---Abraham Lincoln, assassinated American President, 1861-1865.
"The man of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys. Power, like a desolating pestilence, Pollutes whate'er it touches; and obedience, Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth, Makes slaves of men, and, of the human frame, A mechanized automaton." ---Percy Bysshe Shelley, author and poet.
"The enormous gap between what U.S. leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology." ---Michael Parenti, political activist and author.
"If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves." ---Howard Zinn, historian, political scientist and author.
"News is what someone wants to suppress. Everything else is advertising." ---Former NBC-News president Rubin Frank.
"Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have." ---Richard Salent, Former President of CBS News.
"Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the (U.S.) media (and the American people)." ---Noam Chomsky, political scientist, historian and author.
"By way of deception, thou shalt do war." ---Motto of the Mossad (Israeli Secret Police, and the equivalent of the Israeli "CIA").
"Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail. Without it nothing can succeed. He who molds opinion is greater than he who enacts laws." ---Abraham Lincoln.
"The first casualty of war is truth." ---Rudyard Kipling, author.
"All warfare is based on deception." The Art Of War ---Sun Tzu, ancient Chinese prophet.
"War is a racket." ---The 1933 confession of a U.S. Marine Corps Major General.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and hence, clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ---H.L. Mencken.
"As long as people are marginalized and distracted [they] have no way to organize or articulate their sentiments, or even know that others have these sentiments. People assume that they are the only people with a crazy idea in their heads. They never hear it from anywhere else. Nobody's supposed to think that. ...Since there's no way to get together with other people who share or reinforce that view and help you articulate it, you feel like an oddity, an oddball. So you just stay on the side and you don't pay any attention to what's going on. You look at something else, like the Superbowl." ---Noam Chomsky, American linguist, author, and U.S. foreign policy and media critic.
"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds...." ---Bob Marley (in 'Redemption Song').
"We need a common enemy to unite us." ---Condoleeza Rice, March 2000, now "President" George W. Bush’s National Security Advisor.
"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -- kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor -- with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it...." ---General Douglas MacArthur, 1957.
"The biggest conspiracy of all is the claim that there are no conspiracies!" ---Michael Rivero, political commentator.
"Religion is... useful to persuade men to murder each other for conveniently located lands without having to pay them what the job is worth." ---Michael Rivero.
"Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all." ---Michael Rivero.
"The history of war is the history of powerful individuals willing to sacrifice thousands upon thousands of other people's lives for personal gains." ---Michael Rivero.
"(Nationalism is) a set of beliefs taught to each generation in which the Motherland or the Fatherland is an object of veneration and becomes a burning cause for which one becomes willing to kill the children of other Motherlands or Fatherlands." ---Howard Zinn, historian and author.
"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." ---George Orwell, writer, author (of 1984, among other great novels), critical thinker, political scientist, and prophet.
"Fascism should rightly be called corporatism(,) as it is a merger of state and corporate power...." ---Benito Mussolini, fascist dictator of Italy during WW2.
"The most effective way to restrict democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations." ---Noam Chomsky, American linguist, author, and US media and foreign policy critic.
"The U.S. must hold global power and a monopoly of force. It will then protect the new order while allowing others to pursue their legitimate interests as Washington defines them. The U.S. must account sufficiently for the interests of the advanced industrial nations to discourage them from challenging our leadership, or seeking to overturn the established political order, or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role... (for) we will retain the preeminent responsibility for addressing selectively those wrongs which threaten not only our interests but also those of our allies or friends. The United States alone will determine what are wrongs, and when they are to be selectively righted." ---From a draft copy of the Pentagon's 1992 budgetary planning guide (written when Dick Cheney, now Vice-President, was Secretary of Defense).
"From the outset, we have made it clear that construction of the pipeline we have proposed across Afghanistan could not begin until a recognized government is in place that has the confidence of governments, lenders, and our company." ---Mr. John J. Maresca, Vice President of International Relations, Unocal Corporation.
I repeat: "All I ask is that, in the midst of a murderous world, we agree to reflect on murder and to make a choice. After that, we can distinguish those who accept the consequences of being murderers themselves or the accomplices of murderers, and those who refuse to do so with all their force and being. Since this terrible dividing line does actually exist, it will be a gain if it be clearly marked. Over the expanse of five continents throughout the coming years an endless struggle is going to be pursued between violence and friendly persuasion, a struggle which, granted, the former has a thousand times more chances of success than does the latter. But I have always held that, if he who bases his hopes on human nature is a fool, he who gives up in the face of circumstances is a coward. And henceforth, the only honorable course will be to stake everything on a formidable gamble: that words are more powerful than munitions." -- Albert Camus.

Postscript: I'm looking for someone to go 50/50 with me and move to either Ecuador, Costa Rica, Belize, Guatemala, or Mexico where we can make a very low income go much further with a lower cost, and higher standard, of living (than living in the States on such a low income). This includes an only income of Social Security Disability (SSDI) and/or Retirement benefits. The Social Security Administration most definitely DOES allow SSDI and/or Retirement benefits, but not Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, to be sent to recipients in most other countries! There are many books about moving and living abroad available at the public library and/or at Amazon.com . Naturally, I realize we would probably have to spend some time getting to know eachother, and finding out if we're compatible, before moving abroad together. We could even have our own separate "spaces" by choosing to rent or purchase a house or apartment with separate quarters, and still save considerable money in monthly costs compared to living in the States on the same income. If you might be interested, want to ask me some questions, and/or want to discuss it, please e-mail me at the address below.
