Today’s Gospel reading (click here) has the prophet (and so much more that that) Jesus the Christ (Anointed One) using current events to warn Jerusalem of a coming judgment.  He did this more than a few times, and, forty years after his warnings Jerusalem was a smoking ruin full of dead bodies.

We viewed such scenes of late in Haiti and Chile.  The Pacfic Rim is trembling, and earthquakes seem to be increasing all over the world.

Consider the New Madrid fault. It went off in the early 1800’s and the ground in the midwest rose in three foot waves.

THANKSGIVING DAY 1814
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – A PROCLAMATION
The two Houses of the National Legislature having by a joint resolution expressed their desire that in the present time of public calamity and war a day may be recommended to be observed by the people of the United States as a day of public humiliation and fasting and of prayer to Almighty God for the safety and welfare of these States, His blessing on their arms, and a speedy restoration of peace, I have deemed it proper by this proclamation to recommend that Thursday, the 12th of January next, be set apart as a day on which all may have an opportunity of voluntarily offering at the same time in their respective religious assemblies their humble adoration to the Great Sovereign of the Universe, of confessing their sins and transgressions, and of strengthening their vows of repentance and amendment. They will be invited by the same solemn occasion to call to mind the distinguished favors conferred on the American people in the general health which has been enjoyed, in the abundant fruits of the season, in the progress of the arts instrumental to their comfort, their prosperity, and their security, and in the victories which have so powerfully contributed to the defense and protection of our country, a devout thankfulness for all which ought to be mingled with their supplications to the Beneficent Parent of the Human Race that He would be graciously pleased to pardon all their offenses against Him; to support and animate them in the discharge of their respective duties; to continue to them the precious advantages flowing from political institutions so auspicious to their safety against dangers from abroad, to their tranquillity at home, and to their liberties, civil and religious; and that He would in a special manner preside over the nation in its public councils and constituted authorities, giving wisdom to its measures and success to its arms in maintaining its rights and in overcoming all hostile designs and attempts against it; and, finally, that by inspiring the enemy with dispositions favorable to a just and reasonable peace its blessings may be speedily and happily restores.
Given at the city of Washington, the 16th day of November, 1814, and of the Independence of the United States the thirty-eighth.

As we noted here (on the eve of the fateful 2008 election), Christian persecution can break out much more quickly than most realize.  Do not underestimate the hatred that the Leftists and the Elite have for us.  I (Bryan) have now lived through some the Left’s best early punches, and can assure the readers that I have met Leftists who very much want to punch very much harder.

Now, I am not talking crucifixions in the local sports arena or public floggings outside the synagogues as in the Acts of the Apostles.  In modern America the persecution will be professional and polite.  No license for therapists who believe that homosexuals can change their desires through Faith, no admittance to higher education for fundamentalists who put the Bible or Church teaching first.  No admission to  the state bar for Christian activists who are unwilling to abandon their passion for justice and willingness to speak truth to power.

A Proverb comes to mind:

‘The righteous detest the dishonest;
the wicked detest the upright.”

Proverbs 29:27

At the first of the year, even before our energetic national leader took the helm, Judge Robert Bork — a man who has taken more than his fair share of Left hooks — had some prophetic words about the coming Christian persecution.

We are there now.

Justice Ginsburg: Frankly, I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.  So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into abortions when they didn’t really want them. But when the Court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.”

So, “Darth Bader,” just what populations is it that you do not want too many of?

Lawyers might be a fine attempt at foot-in-mouth removal.

And you might want to steer clear of private pools in Pennsylvania for a while, your Honor.

In the Justice’s defense, she may have confused what she should say with what is usually left unsaid.  Age and power can do that to a person.  She actually speaks of a little known skeleton in the closet of the American Left — the NEGRO PROJECT.

Here is the foundress of Planned Parenthood, Fabian socialist Margaret Sanger, on this plan to, in the words of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, hold down the “growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities.  The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal.  We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Stop The Pass Act  S. 1261

It is time to take this ALERT further by calling into national radio
shows today. Making the host and his/her millions of listeners aware
of these issues is another key strategy to killing “The PASS Act”
S.1261″.

Radio Call in Tips:

Tell the host you want to make him aware of an unconstitutional bill,
The PASS ACT, S.1261, in committee in the Senate.

State your opposition points:

1. We are opposed to Real ID and the PASS Act
2.  We are opposed to being enrolled in a Biometric Identification System
3. We don’t want Social Security Numbers in our DMV databases
4.  No RFID chips in our Driver’s Licences
5.  No federal intervention with the issuance of our State driver’s licenses
6. We are not willing to trade our freedom for security.

All of these actions are unconstitutional and a direct attack on our
civil liberties and our unalienable rights.

ArchAngel PS :   Wartch Sharon on the Fort’s public access  Wednesday night, July 8, at 10:00 and 10:30 p.m.. Here is more on why.

This man (on the left, very far left) just became a United States Senator, despite many reasons for him not to be, including this:

MN GOP PRESS RELEASE: “RPM STATEMENT ON GORE ENDORSEMENT OF FRANKEN”

By Michael B. Brodkorb | June 4, 2008

St. Paul – Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Ron Carey tonight issued the following statement regarding Al Gore’s endorsement of Al Franken.

“Tipper Gore and Al Gore were right when they condemned Franken’s vile and demeaning humor directed at the daughter of Newt Gingrich.  Regardless of age, regardless of party, regardless of standing, Al Franken has a pattern of offensive and cruel humor at the expense of women. 

Not that Dave Letterman should have a problem with Franken on that front.

AND

 ”And so basically, what it looks like is going to happen is that Libby and Karl Rove are going to be executed” because “outing a CIA agent is treason,” left-wing author and radio talk show host Al Franken asserted Friday night, to audience laughter, on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman. Franken qualified his hard-edged satire: “Yeah. And I don’t know how I feel about it because I’m basically against the death penalty, but they are going to be executed it looks like.” Franken later suggested that President Bush is at risk of receiving the same punishment, since Karl Rove likely told him what he did, but he added a caveat: “I think, by the way, that we should never ever, ever, ever execute a sitting President.”

AND

“As reported by Tom Curry of MSNBC, Al Franken, in criticizing Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, said: ‘Being a racist and a sexist was a good calling card for the Reagan administration.’

And

“Al Franken, one of the original writers for “Saturday Night Live,” has been known in recent years for his left-wing activism, with books like “Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot” (Rush is now quite trim) and “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.” Others have picked apart the errors of his books and observed that he is more nasty than funny — hardly a latter-day H.L. Mencken. As “National Review” editor Rich Lowry observed, “Comedians who aren’t funny have to become political spokesmen — thus Al Franken’s new career.”

AND

“I’ll tell you what a lot of people are thinking, and that is it looks like things are going to be over and we are going to get the clown from Minnesota,’’ Senator Imhofe said.

“They are not going to get more than 35 votes.’’

Asked if he was referring to Al Franken as the clown from Minnesota, Inhofe confirmed he was.

“I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I don’t know the guy, but … for a living he is a clown,’’ the senator said.

“That’s what he does for a living.’’

YET BRYAN BROWN IS UNFIT TO BE LICENSED AS AN INDIANA ATTORNEY DUE TO HIS ACTIVISM ON THE RIGHT?  UNFIT TO CONTINUE A 12 YEAR CAREER AT LAW SO HE CAN SUPPORT HIS SIX DEPENDENTS?

A SIGN OF THE TIMES, NO?

LET’S HOPE FRANKEN IS NOT HONORED WITH A NOTRE DAME DIPLOMA NEXT MAY.

With an oink, oink here and an oink oink there (D.C.) “THIS LITTLE PIGGIE WENT TO PARIS …”

Congress’s Travel Tab Swells

Spending on Taxpayer-Funded Trips Rises Tenfold; From Italy to the Galápagos

WASHINGTON — Spending by lawmakers on taxpayer-financed trips abroad has risen sharply in recent years, a Wall Street Journal analysis of travel records shows, involving everything from war-zone visits to trips to exotic spots such as the Galápagos Islands.

The spending on overseas travel is up almost tenfold since 1995, and has nearly tripled since 2001, according to the Journal analysis of 60,000 travel records. Hundreds of lawmakers traveled overseas in 2008 at a cost of about $13 million. That’s a 50% jump since Democrats took control of Congress two years ago.

SUCH CORRUPTION (YES, IT IS CORRUPTION) ALMOST BROUGHT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UK LAST MONTH.  LUCKY FOR CONGRESS THE AMERICAN MEDIA IS RUNNING INTERFERENCE FOR THEM — SINCE THE CORRUPTION COMES FROM THE LEFT AND BOUGHT-AND-SOLD MIDDLE.

I (Bryan) attended a seminar put on by the National Association of Attorneys General in Washington, D.C., a few years ago.  The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) sent some attorneys over to brief us on the ever growing problem of identity theft and bank fraud.  They spoke of biometrics — systems that tied identify directly to the person.  Physical descriptions have been so used since the dawn of time.  (Cain?  Oh, he is the fellow with the pronounced brow ridge over there.  Genesis 4:16)  Gender (assuming there are only two), height, weight, eye color, etc.  In the last century we discovered finger, thumb and hand prints. After that it was iris patterns and facial recognition software. 

Most all of this was discussed by the FTC agents.  They then spoke of a future system that would guarantee that merchants would never be fooled by identity theft, assuring a much more certain economy.  Especially for online trading.

Afterward I sought them out and asked this question:  ”Given personal computers with fingerprint access, am I correct that all of the technology now exists to solve this problem, it is only the political will to make it happen that is lacking?” 

Yes, was the reply.

And, I asked, “is that political will not a concern about a Big Brother State, and especially given the writings found in the last book of the Bible about a mark to buy and sell?”

Yes, they admitted, that is the source of much of the social resistance to biometrics.

I then told my friends that the system would come out of the East, for Asia had no such platform of individual rights, fear of Big Brother and concern about divine revelation via the Bible.

At the risk of thinking stereotypically, I have to share my opinion that this verse just does not mean all that much to the governments of China or India:

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…and his number is Six hundred & sixty-six. (Rev.13:15-18)

Click here for a news report on that I see as a major plank in the the soon coming global biometric plan.  It is already begun in China and India.  Here is how it will spread:   First on paper, and then as implants.  The global positioning satellites are flying overhead.  The technology is here.   As “terror” and identity fraud spreads across the dying West such biometrics will also spread.  First as the “census” to get all enrolled, just like before the first coming of Christ, and then as a database tied to the government’s internet to track us all for purposes of social control.

Need some inspiration after all of that?  May I suggest a careful reading of this?

Want to network about all of this?  Then drop by the ArchAngel Institute between 11 am and 1 pm on July for our low tea at high noon celebration.  See two posts down for more details.
