  • Four Lessons For Willow Morgan Part Two - The Preservation Of The Neph

    Chapter Two

    Four Lessons For Willow Morgan Part Two
    The Preservation Of The Neph

    Goreme Caverns, Cappadocia, Central Turkey


    “I can’t believe the years have passed.” He thought. Another voice filled his mind, as Walter Morgan took a large pick and swung it hard against the cavern wall. The loud thud was the result of thirty-five years of falling rock and debris that made it so hard to get to it.

    “I know it’s here. I put it here myself.” he thought out loud as he swung the heavy pick-ax again, and it collided with the stone that separated Walter Morgan from retrieving what he had come there to do. Then another voice filled his mind and the sound of it made him lower the pick and listen intently.

    “Wally? Where’d you get off to? Walter Aaron Morgan you will get to this house this instant!” He smiled at the sound of his mother’s voice. “I loved buying those bugs.” He laughed and heard his mother’s screams. “Walter Aaron Morgan, I am going to kill you! I hate those things!”

    His kind and studious face took on a great childish grin as he remembered how those plastic bugs had made his mom so crazy when she pulled the blankets down and saw them planted right on her pillow.

    “They looked so real.” Walter told himself. He pulled the pick into the air and swung it hard against the stone wall. “They looked so real, those bugs.” He heard a definite crack this time and reared the pick back behind him again.


    “The tomato worms were the ones she hated most.” He reminded himself again.

    He yanked the heavy pick forward and crushed the remaining wall and a pitch black hole was suddenly flooded with light, and Walter Morgan’s mind was flooded with his father’s voice. They were the same words that had often made him stronger and afraid to ever give up.

    “Walter, you get in and get back out fast! It doesn’t take power to do what you must. It takes speed, accuracy and a determination to survive. It is our heritage, rarer than gold and of inestimable value.” Walter’s mind saw his father wrap an arm around his son’s shoulder. “My boy, it will all be clear. It is here that you will understand your significance and how to possess it and hold it with humility and to consecrate yourself to helping all men and women without respect of person. It is the way of the Neph.”

    Since then, it was what drove him, just as his father had said it would be. It was Walter Morgan’s duty to pass his birthright on to Willow, just as his father had delivered it to him. It was that drive to preserve their unique and hidden difference of his line that had shed its insatiable appetite for evil and instead had yielded their kind to God.


    Walter swung the tool around one last time and the opening grew large enough to reach in and take back what he had placed there thirty-five years earlier. He reached in and felt a large box on the tips of his fingers. He pushed in further and dug his fingernails into the wood and pulled hard. He pulled it out quite easily.

    ~~~


    “Miss Willow, you shouldn’t squirm so much.” Willow looked down and saw the flickering lights of the valley farmers who lived off the land in that part of Turkey.

    She saw the rock spires of Goreme just out ahead. Willow spotted places where there was light and then darkness until another little patch of light appeared, with pitch blackness overtaking the land of Cappadocia. She kicked her legs with excitement as they soared above it all and screamed out in pure enjoyment mixed with fear.

    “This is what I was born for, isn’t it?”

    “I am but a created creature myself. We too have demonstrated our capacity to go the wrong way. You will meet many Black Hearts on this excursion to prove my point.”

    “What you’re really trying to say is that you are not perfect and could drop me, right?” she confirmed.

    “Not in so many words.”

    “What? You used twice as many words as I did.” Willow wrinkled her brow and took on a half-perturbed, half-inquisitive look across her face. She looked at the great beast and was sure she had seen a great smirk or smile or something that told her he was messing with her.

    “You are, aren’t you?”

    “And what would that be, Miss Willow Daisy … um Willow?” as the Watcher descended and landed on a ledge carved into one of the spires that had clearly been someone’s home a couple thousand years ago. The Watcher got down on one knee and placed Willow on her feet.

    “You’re pretty smart, you know that?” Willow told the Watcher. “But you are hiding something from me, I know.”

    “Smart of you to say, Willow. You Nephs are all different. Seems that …”

    “What did you say, and no angelic hocus-pocus, OK? What’s a Neph?”

    ~~~

    Walter Morgan looked down at his own hands that were tugging on the box that should have been almost fossilized by the weight over it and the thirty years that had past. “It’s too light.” He said loudly with a strong hint of real fear. “We will not survive without the scepter of truth. It cannot be done.”

    Walter looked down at his trembling hands that held a urn that was far too light to contain the scepter. He unhooked the latch and opened the lid. “Gone? Perhaps stolen; either way, it’s just as gone. Walter reached into the urn and pulled out a letter. He held it up and tried to open it but his hand shook, trembled so badly until it seemed to dry out and then his whole arm crumbled into dust.

    “Whoever owns the scepter rules the Neph.” Walter recited to himself. He held the envelope with his left hand and pulled the letter out and unfolded it with his teeth and began to read it.

    “Now, now, you needn’t be so frightened. You’ve had a good run, but nothing lasts forever. Walter, you know the rules of the challenge. The house cannot refuse, and I think that just might be you. I admit to you though, it’s hardly a challenge, since you know longer have what I’ve just taken from you. “Whoever own the…”


    “Yes Kassadia … whoever owns the Scepter rules the Neph … yea, I know! And, I know there is nothing resembling a Neph in you!” Walter screamed while crumbling and crushing the letter in his only hand and looking at his right arm that was no longer there. “When I put my hand to possess the scepter, it took possession of my arm. I have to get it back.” he shouted. “Willow!”


    ~~~

    “Lord Kassadia, they’ve been spotted just over to your right, there on that ledge.”

    “Where do you mean? I can’t even make them out with these binoculars.”

    “My lord, please forgive me, but you half-breeds are of a more frail nature than we Watchers.”

    “I am not a Neph nor a Dark Heart, oh fallen one.” Kassadia told the dark Watcher. “You do know how to get on my nerves.”

    The fallen Watcher sneered at Kassadia. “I am an original. I have not given my will to the maker, like the Neph. We are of a more pure race. We didn’t take the name. It was given to us, but Dark-Hearts just stuck.” Kassadia reflected. “I guess it’s true, but I like me that way. Take a message from me.”

    ~~~

    “Miss Willow, you make my lights sputter and my wings quiver nervously with your persistence.” Willow giggled that she was able to drive an Angel so crazy. “Though, Miss Willow, I can surmise that by human logic, you think you have a right to know.”

    “See, I told you that you were smart. So, tell me, what is a Neph?”

    “For this purpose we are going to such lengths. But we can talk about it as we continue. Your family is special in the ...”

    “Wait! Did you hear that?” Willow stood silently frozen and listened for the sound again. She heard nothing then saw something there, but transparent and swirling over her and the Watcher.

    “Willow!” She turned her head at sound of her father’s voice.

    “You heard that, right? You had to have heard someone calling my name!”

    The watcher didn’t respond to Willow this time. He sensed the presence, one of his own, gone bad and no time to tell her even to get down. He reached down and took Willow by the hood of her coat and left her dangling in the air while he scanned all around.

    “Willow Daisy Morgan, unchanged and alive.” The words did not give her the feeling of safety that they once did. This was all too real to let mere words give her hope. There was an adversary there that got the Watcher’s attention. “Put me down! I insist.”


    The watcher did even glance her way but squatted down and placed her carefully and firmly on the ledge. Willow ran to the side of the stone dwelling and hid in the dark.

    A black thick shadow seemed to hover and swirl in the air. The Watcher saw it coming at him and drew his great sword and swung it at the black leathery Watcher. It suddenly appeared and the sound of their swords’ colliding was deafening for Willow, but she knew that victory was not certain.

    “But, I have a good idea what a Neph is.” she said. “Because I feel like I want to fly.”

    A sharp pain shot through her sides and she fell to the floor and screamed and then the pain was gone. Willow rose to her feet and felt behind her back. “Willow Daisy Morgan, unchanged and alive.” Then she smiled broadly. “Are they real?” Willow felt them. “Oh my goodness, I’ve got wings!” She decided to use them when she saw the black shadow thing coming at her.

    Willow leapt into the air and just knew how to do it. Her wings responded instinctively and she moved perfectly. The watcher saw Willow leap into the air and yelled out to her. “Get down!” But, as soon as he did, the dark leathery Watcher swung his sword and struck Willow’s Watcher in his armor sending him crashing to the floor. He landed with great force. The dark Watcher heard him hit bottom and dived toward the Willow’s protector. She took a large rock in her hand and dove toward the dark Watcher.

    The dark Watcher smiled to think of what his master would think of him if he killed a King’s Watcher. His face turned grave and serious. The King’s Watcher lay on the floor waiting to recuperate. He saw the dark Watcher drawing near, but he could not yet move. The Dark Watcher pulled his sword back and readied for the kill. As the dark Watcher got in striking distance, Willow threw the large rock and hit the dark Watcher in the chest sending him crashing to the ground as well.

    “HaHaHa! Loser!” She screamed. The King’s Watcher had now fully recovered and had to subdue his dark brother before his regenerative powers kicked in as well. Willow’s protector had needed some protecting from her. The Watcher was grateful for his life, and Willow was happy to have lived the moment. She felt so much older now.

    ***

    Walter Morgan knew that he had pass on the Scepter to Willow before the end of the night. If Kassadia could keep the Scepter till midnight, his line would then rule, and the covenant between the Neph and the King would be broken, and it was 6:23 p.m. now. The shadow of the dark hearts would then again dominate the minds and hearts of all men and women, and like a great Pandora’s box, every hidden evil thing that had been forbidden to grow and the dark tentacles would take root would infest the whole world of humans.

    “Willow is the next in line.” Walter said out loud. “Today, she shall grow into her wings.” He shouted again. “Willow!”


    ***

    The King’s Watcher jumped on top of the dark Watcher’s body. “Who sent you? We have the covenant, and you know the transition that must happen to keep the agreement that was sealed in perfect blood.”

    “The realm is hers no more. It has been removed and you will do service to Kassadia, after the transition.”

    The King’s watcher grabbed the dark Watcher’s neck and squeezed strongly. “What are you talking about? She is here and ready to...”

    “It belongs to another now.” The dark Watcher found the idea of Willow’s father lying in a cave in Goreme with his right arm turned to sand amusing. “It really was quite a chore to find where he had hidden it, but nothing is impossible if one’s life depends on it. Nothing personal, but they are half-breeds, and now, their lives depend on us.”

    “Wait I heard it again. Did you?”

    “It was your father, Willow. He is in great danger, and so are you.”

    ***

    Kassadia placed the binoculars to his eyes and he saw Willow crying and giving the dark Watcher strong blows to the face. Kassadia found it all so entertaining and laughed every time a fist came in contact with the dark Watcher’s face. “It’s going perfectly. There are myriads of others who will serve me, if this one dies.”

    ***

    Willow reached behind her and felt her wings. She told herself to make them disappear and she felt them fold into her body and she knew she was different, unique, and special.

    I am Willow Daisy Morgan, constantly changing and very much alive!”

  • Two Steps Away From The Dictocracy

    JAIL FOR NO INSURANCE UNDER PELOSI BILL
    The nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation reported that the House version of the healthcare bill specifies that those who don't buy health insurance and do not pay the fine of about 2.5 percent of their income for failing to do so can face a penalty of up to five years in prison!




    The bill describes the penalties as follows:
    * Section 7203 — Misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.
    * Section 7201 — Felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years." [page 3]








    That anyone should face prison for not buying health insurance is simply incredible.
    And how much will the stay-out-of-jail insurance cost? The joint committee noted that "according to a recent analysis by the Congressional Budget Office, the lowest-cost family non-group plan under HR 3862 (the Pelosi bill) would cost $15,000 by 2016."




    Obama's bill provides only subsidies to help pay this enormous sum after families making about $45,000 have paid 8 percent of their income for insurance and after those earning a household income of about $65,000 have kicked in 12 percent.
    The Joint Committee on Taxation noted that, although the Senate Finance Committee version of the bill did not include criminal penalties, "The House Democrats' bill, however, contains no similar language protecting American citizens from civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail."
    Remember that simply buying catastrophic insurance, which may be all the young uninsured family needs, does not constitute having adequate insurance under the Obama bill. It has to be total, all inclusive insurance for one to avoid the penalties in the legislation. That is because Obama wants to use these premiums from the currently uninsured to subsidize his program.
    So Pelosi is requiring Americans to pay these steep premiums, or a fine of 2.5 percent of their income for not doing so, or, potentially, go to prison!

    Anyone who is familiar with the U.S. prison system can attest to the large number of people incarcerated for similar white collar offenses. That the House bill would treat failure to carry health insurance or pay the fine as tax evasion or willful nonpayment is amazing!
    And where is the constitutional basis for requiring everyone to buy insurance? It is OK for a state to make drivers pay for automobile insurance. Driving is not a right, it is a privilege, and the state may regulate it by demanding insurance. Banks can require homeowners to buy insurance as a condition of their lending. But how does the federal government get the right to require a family to buy health insurance or face a civil penalty and, failing that, to face either a criminal fine or jail?
    The tough penalties in the House bill are designed to keep insurance companies from opposing the bill. It was the relaxation of these penalties in the Senate Finance Committee version of the legislation that led the companies to reverse field and come out in opposition to the legislation. The insurance companies want to see their coffers swell when tens of millions of new customers are required to buy insurance. The more draconian the penalties for failing to pay them large sums of money to pad their bottom lines, the better.
    The more you read this bill, the worse it gets.





    What Would They Say?


    America, turn back to God before it's too late.
    It's not religion; its relationship.
    He is waitning for you.
    Willing To Risk It?
    It Will Not Have Been The First Time
    Though, it could be the last


    Want to read a novel that is so real
    you'll     swear it was Obama's biography?
    Ride the storm of     Nimrod Rising!

    Have you ever felt that the world was guided in ways that are beyond man’s control? The constant changes in the world since the time of Nimrod 4000 years ago until today and all the events that have shaken the world have been to bring the universe back into the hands of the Prince of Darkness, Lucia, a world that he had ruled with his Watchers before it was all ripped from his grasp when man was created. Nimrod Rising paints a diabolical picture of how the Prince of Darkness executes his evil plot to take the world back by force and destroy civilization in the process. From the Great Builder Nimrod in 4000 BC to today, 666 generations later, you can ride the storm of Nimrod Rising and experience the death of a world and the birth pangs of another. You will swear it is really upon us!

  • We have all heard about and watched the Obama Administration pass laws, writing executive orders and creating a shadow government that is literally breaking down the cornerstone of our existence as a nation different than all others. A nation takes on the image of its leadership. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and a host of others regard America as simply a nation in a planet-full of them. For them, The United States of America possesses nothing special, nothing unique and they are dead set on impoverishing this nation to put us in our place, as they see it. Liberty, as enshrined in the Constitution of the United States of America is that cornerstone that holds up a once proud and determined people. Take away the cornerstone and the whole house of cards will come tumbling down.





    Perhaps, you have asked yourselves, “What can I do?” Yet, perhaps we should draw a line in the political and social sand and declare the things we are NOT willing to do. I have asked myself this question and there are many things I am NOT willing to do as America stumbles down Barack Obama’s long and winding road into Communist failure and totalitarianism.





    1. I am not willing to be forced to accept a government health plan or a card with all my medical, legal, educational and financial records held in its memory.


    Just such a card will become mandatory if Barack Obama’s healthcare plan is signed into law. I will say right here, if this becomes law, no matter what penalties are imposed on me, monetarily or imprisonment, which is also prescribed in this bill, I will not purchase an insurance policy until I choose to do so, if ever. I will also not accept a government smart card regardless of the difficulties or dangers I will face. What are you prepared NOT to do?


    It is time to insist that the constitution be imposed, once again, as the law of this nation. Think about it, my fellow patriots. If Barack Obama can continue to impugn the rights and the limits that are set forth in the constitution, he can do nearly whatever he wants. Where is it said that the people have the right to speak out, demonstrate, petition, demand and refuse? It is in the constitution. Take a look at Nancy Pelosi’s distain and loathing for the constitution in a recent CNS News interview after being asked if she thought the constitution had any provision to force the American people to purchase insurance, and if not, what gave her and congress the right to force Americans to buy anything at all.

    “Where specifically does the Constitution authorize Congress to force Americans to purchase a particular good or service such as health insurance?” CNSNews.com asked the speaker's office.

    “If it is the Speaker’s belief that there is a provision in the Constitution that does give Congress this power, does she believe the Constitution in any way limits the goods and services Congress can force an individual to purchase?" CNSNews.com asked. "If so, what is that limit?”

    The answer given by the Speaker’s office is very telling of her complete disregard for the constitution she is sworn to preserve, protect and defend.

    CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”

    Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”

    CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”






    Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter. Her press spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, then told CNSNews.com that asking the speaker of the House where the Constitution authorized Congress to mandate that individual Americans buy health insurance as not a "serious question."

    “You can put this on the record,” said Elshami. “That is not a serious question. That is not a serious question.”

    Pelosi’s office also told CNS News, “If it is the Speaker’s belief that there is a provision in the Constitution that does give Congress this power, does she believe the Constitution in any way limits the goods and services Congress can force an individual to purchase?" CNSNews.com asked. "If so, what is that limit?”

    Elshami responded that Congress has “broad power to regulate activities that have an effect on interstate commerce. Congress has used this authority to regulate many aspects of American life, from labor relations to education to health care to agricultural production.”

    I am not willing to let the government tell me what I can drive, eat, say, watch or disagree with. Are you?

    These Marxist thugs are clearly out to rob the America people blind and unless the constitution is followed by this cabal of evil men and women called the United States government, they should all be impeached and imprisoned for looting the people’s treasure.





    It has been a depressing sight to witness the nation going down the failed road of Mao, Lenin, Stalin and Hitler with this President. Barack Obama swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Yet, I cannot think of one thing this socialist president has done that could be construed to be something that has helped America follow the rule of law. Now, America has even been called a ‘Banana Republic.’ The definition of a banana republic is a government that passes laws for the rest of us and expects obedience from the rest of us but contravenes the very laws they pass any time the conniving thugs in Washington wish to do so.



    Here’s another writer’s opinion:

    “After 30 years of trying to defy economic gravity, the US is well on the way to becoming the world's largest banana republic. If the current level of government mismanagement continues, within 20 years the US economy will be comparable to that of Mexico. With a more modest level of mismanagement, this will occur in less than 10 years but under much better economic circumstances.






    “The US government has been following this same path due to ever-increasing balance of payment problems. It has managed to give away, or allowed and encouraged US multinationals to move, manufacturing facilities from the US mainland to foreign locations. These industries previously provided the backbone of US exports to the world and the reason that the US had become the most prosperous country in the world. These industrial losses have resulted in the almost unbelievable current account deficit seen (much less contemplated) in the history of the world.


    “But, because the US government apparently believes that the economic factors that have ruined Mexico do not apply to it, the government has done nothing to remedy the situation. Consequently we find ourselves now in the beginning stages of an inevitable substantial devaluation of the dollar and decrease in American standard of living. The recent rapid drop in the value of the dollar with prospective further devaluations are simply an unavoidable consequence of these cavalier government policies.”

    America, The Next Great Banana Republic - January 29, 2008 by Richard Backus

    2. I insist on knowing how the money I pay in taxes is spent.

    Since the end of 2008 until now, congress has raised the debt limit by a lofty 120 percent and since that same period the America’s national debt, that what we owe the whole world has grown to105 trillion dollars. Such breaches of trust of the United States Government only cause the American people to more fully distrust the lunatics sworn to protect us. Such comedy and lunacy brought down all the great powers throughout history, and it shall be no different with America, unless the obviously lethal dose of economic, social and political poison is purged from the nation’s veins.





    The process of taking a great nation into such a dishonorable classification as a debtor nation does not happen overnight. In fact, no one will ever convince me that the almost flawless takeover of the nation’s economy, the coupe d’état of the constitutional limits of power was simply planned and executed over night. It is clear that the takeover of 1/7 of the nation’s economy in their healthcare charade and the government’s takeover of the automobile industry, the proposed silencing of dissents through what has come to be called Internet Neutrality and the government’s long-armed reach ultimately into every business boardroom, thusly dictating what one does at work and how much a company can pay its workers are all more than individual decisions made in a vacuum. This is an orchestrated implementation of a well designed, masterfully nurtured, impeccably implemented plan to end American power and to merge us into a powerful force with the world, over which Barack Obama will rule, manipulate and gain control.



    3. I will not submit to the Copenhagen treaty which is to be signed in December, 2009

    It has all taken place over a period of time; softening up the people and changing the way we think from early ages. Such has been the decades-long transformation, which has only culminated in the nation’s first socialist president who seeks to instill fear and dread and to take any measures he deems necessary to bring about the world according to Barack Obama. First, we impose taxes that have never been approved as constitutional. Over time, we overlooked the things that this nation’s government has said were prescribed in the Constitution of the United States of America. Prayer was abolished in public and blamed on the constitution’s establishment clause separating Church and State. Every American will say you should believe as you want in America. For, it was the founding fathers’ will that we have a ‘God-honoring’ society but never a Godless one. Listen to these very informative videos to see what is just around the corner, the end of the United States and the establishment of a one world government.

    Sir Christopher Monckton: Copenhagen treaty eviscerates U.S. sovereignity

    By: Mark Tapscott
    Editorial Page Editor
    10/20/09 8:14 AM EDT

    Sir Christopher Monckton is a global warming skeptic. Former Vice President and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore has for years refused to accept Monckton's repeated challenge to a public debate on global warming.
    He's also a very close reader of the proposed UN Climate Change Treaty President Obama is expected to sign along with other world leaders in Copenhagen in a few weeks. Monckton says that 200-page treaty cedes U.S. sovereignity to the UN, mandates a massive transfer of wealth from the U.S. and Europe to pay our "Climate Debt" to the Third World, and creates a new enforcement mechanism to make it all happen.


    Is Monckton right? I don't know because I haven't yet read the treaty (But I soon will be). Here's his warning about the Copenhagen Treaty, and here's the draft text of the treaty. Judge for yourself. Here is my pledge. I am an American. I have been to many, many countries on this planet and appreciate Europe, Asia and Africa. Nevertheless, I am an American. I will not bow to any man or woman. I will not seek to impoverish any anyone. I will not seek to belittle a fellow human being and I will not submit to any force that works ill against my nation, including this president. He is a traitor, a communist and a force for evil in the world. If you love this nation, I am sure you feel the same, for your freedom is hanging by a thread.


    4. I refuse to accept that my taxes will be once again used to kill unborn children

    The killing of more than forty million of our children, yet unborn is nothing less than American society’s version of honoring the gods as the world of antiquity did when they made their children pass through fire as appeasement sacrifices to the gods of pleasure, debauchery, lust, greed and power. Plentiful are such examples of American governmental abuse of power and it has been the imposition of the view of the constitution as a living document that has made the cherished document to approve of things that the writers would have never imagined nor condoned. This interpretation of the Constitution has allowed us to mold the cherished document to our liking, while refusing to pattern our lives and behavior according to it. This is the rule of anarchy.





    American leaders, both past and present, in the Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court, have made the historic parchment to say that it is correct to kill unborn children, to take over major industries, to force us to take government-sponsored healthcare and to limit Free Speech as well as many other obtuse things that the founding fathers had never envisioned and which Barack Obama is doing with impunity. Little by little, the excusing of presidential usurpation and disregard for the Law of the land has encouraged un-American leaders just like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barney Franks to abuse and breach the clear and well-defined limits of power set forth in the Constitution without interruption. If unchecked, it will spell the end of the United States of America.





    5. The now signed hate-crime bill will not stop me from declaring that I believe homosexuality is wrong and that Same-sex marriage is immoral.

    It is only logical that every crime we face is a hate crime. The only thing this new law creates is yet another way to limit free speech. So, whether in church or in any venue where I choose to state my belief, I will do so regarless of how much difficulty it might cause me. Nothing will stop me from saying what I wish, even you, Barack Obama.

    Obama signs 'hate-crimes' bill into law
    'It's a very sad day for America and for religious liberties'
    By Chelsea Schilling © 2009 World Net Daily



    A "hate crimes" bill opponents claim will be used to crack down on Christian speech, even the reading of the Bible, was signed into law today by President Obama.

    “The Senate approved the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act by a vote of 68-29 on Oct. 22 after Democrats strategically attached it to a "must-pass"     $680 billion defense appropriations plan.

    “Most Rep    ublicans, although normally strong supporters of the U.S. military, opposed the bill because it hands out federal money to states and local governments in pursuit of "preventing" hate crimes. The bill creates federal protections and privileges for homosexuals and other alternative lifestyles but denies those protections to other groups of citizens.

    “Obama signed the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act at a White House ceremony today. Prior to signing the act into law, Obama spoke briefly of the hate crimes bill.


    “American Family Association President Tim Wildmon warned that the new law "creates a kind of caste system in law enforcement, where the perverse thing is that people who engage in non-normative sexual behavior will have more legal protection than heterosexuals. This kind of inequality before the law is simply un-American.

    “Wildmon said the legislation creates possible situations where pastors may be arrested if their sermons on sexuality can be linked in even the remotest way to acts of violence.

    "It threatens free speech and freedom of religion and is totally unacceptable," he said.



    “As WND reported, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder admitted a homosexual activist who is attacked following a Christian minister's sermon about homosexuality would be protected by the proposed federal law, but a minister attacked by a homosexual wouldn't be.

    “The Alliance Defense Fund blasted the "hate-crimes" bill, calling it "another nail in the coffin of the First Amendment."

    "All violent crimes are hate crimes, and all crime victims deserve equal justice," ADF Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley said in a statement. "This law is a grave threat to the First Amendment because it provides special penalties based on what people think, feel, or believe. ADF will be on the front line to defend those whose free speech or free exercise of religion rights are violated by this unconstitutional law and to ultimately overturn this attack on freedom."

    “He said the adoption of hate crimes legislation has led to widespread suppression of speech deemed politically incorrect. The Pacific Justice Institute noted that in California, hate crimes laws are commonly invoked as a basis for further laws pushing acceptance of homosexuality in public schools and the workplace. The group also warned that use of "hate speech" terminology is also now being employed by minority religious groups in America to encourage suppression of free speech, as a prominent Hindu group called on Congress and major Internet service providers to shut down websites critical of Hinduism, including websites of Christian mission organizations.” - 'It's a very sad day for America and for religious liberties' by Chelsea Schilling

    What happened to Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. is wrong, evil and should be punished to the full extent of the law, just as with any other American or international living in America, as well as illegal aliens deserve the same protections as any of us. So, why should gay people be afforded extra protection than the rest of us?

    I will state publicly that I am against this lifestyle, but I would still be willing to lay down my life to save the life of a fellow man or woman, regardless of what we     disagree on or where they are from or how they swing. If Gays are allowed into the military, I believe it will be a mistake. Yet, if I found myself on a battlefield together with a fellow American warrior who happened to be gay, before stepping into death’s house, I would make sure he knew I was his brother and that he felt likewise, and we’d be transformed into each other’s keeper.

    I cannot be dictated into letting go of the fact that this lifestyle is abnormal, immoral and against all that I believe pertaining to sexuality. My faith would not let me hate, for loathing is far worse than what I declare to     be abnormal. Perhaps one of the greatest things George W. Bush did as president was to very generously and humanely give the most money for research and a cure for aids than any president in history, which kills as many heterosexuals as it does homosexuals, across the globe. I do not need a law to order me to respect my fellow man, and I will not submit to legislation that limits my speech to say homosexuality is wrong.


    Today, the cultural battle now rocking America concerning marriage and the right of homosexual males and females to have recognition of same-sex marriages is considered by many to be a virtual attack on civilization as we know it. Today, many states and the federal government have laws that refuse to recognize gay marriages, which Barack Obama wants to repeal.

    In almost all polls taken on this subject, Americans oppose legalizing gay marriage by a 2-1 ratio. Nevertheless, gay marriage is closer than ever to becoming a reality.







    6. Internet Neutrality? I will not cease to publish anything required to tell my story as I see it.

    Barack Obama is ripping the constitution to shreds and doing everything it prohibits. Is this not a breach of his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the constitution and only 11 months into his presidency, Barack Obama has imprisoned the liberty that built this nation. While taking over the banking, insurance, automobile, financial and medical industries when nothing in the constitution grants the government the power, either short term or long term to do so, is this not an impeachable offence?




    Barack Obama should be impeached. But he shall never be. Our failure to resist the destruction of our country and to refuse measures such as we are witnessing has culminated into the not so slow destruction of our nation. It is with a great sadness that we are insanely roaring in applause as these thieves of liberty are robbing our children and grandchildren of their freedom, peace and treasure, which will leave them but the crumbs of self-determination and to our own demise.



    A nation that is no longer able to rule themselves will always finally yield their souls to a dictator, a tyrant, a usurper, of which Barack Obama is supreme, as the people sell their birthrights for a mess of poverty porridge. We are now a nation of takers and have a grave of innovators, ‘imaginators’. We have shed the mantle of freedom and self-determination, so we have reaped the whirlwind since we have thrown our liberty to the destructive gust of socialism that will literally tear our nation apart.


    That is why there are several things I am prepared not to do as the administration transforms America into a Marxist state where are all subservient to a government that will decide where you work, how much you make, what doctor you can see, what car you can drive, how much you can cool or heat your house and eventually, how long you live.



    I will not be silent, I will not submit, I will not accept and I will defend any nation that commits such social terrorism as this administration is set on creating. Imprison me, torture me,, condemn me in public, lock me up even kill me, but as long as I have breath, I will declare that I am free to speak, free to disagree, free to worship as I please, free to live as long as I am able to and no government, not illegal laws that contravene the constitution can force me to do otherwise. You traitors, social terrorists, immoral workers of woe inside this government will never shut my mouth. What are you prepared not to do?



    Let me conclude with one patriot’s words of warning to the American people:

    Where's your grit? Paul A. Ibbetson October 30, 2009

    America, where is your character, your pluck, your grit? If that question seems overly harsh and needlessly aggressive, then you are staring directly at the problem. This nation sits at the precipice of a fundamental, irreversible transformation that will make all too visible a new country that is incontrovertibly "one nation under a spineless, politically correct, brow-beaten, emasculated bunch of sheep." Is that too harsh? If you believe my words are too offensive, that I should tone it down, possibly give contemplation to all opposing views from every potential angle, if not every position within the cosmos, then, you're actually staring at the real problem.

    At a time when the country is faced with an administration that wishes to transform this country into a completely socialistic nation, Americans appear to be dangerously low on grit. Some would counter the statements I have posited, as to the lack of American character in an obvious time of need, with the examples of the growing number of Americans that are participating in town halls, and the growing TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Parties. I applaud and participate in these events with great spirit and enthusiasm; however, they will not be the final weapon to defeat the forces that truly wish to destroy this nation.

    I am not idealistic, nor need I be to understand the predicament this country is in and the chasm that divides where we have been as a nation, from where we are now. It is true that there have always been those within this great nation that carry within their heart desires that run counter to the betterment of the nation. We know them as the socialist, the communist, the anarchist, and all others that share similar desires that run counter to the best laid plans of our country and its founding fathers.

    The presence (if not the appearance today) of these jackals within the echelons of power and influence is not a product of a sudden massive influx of anti-American cohorts, but of the ef    fect of a slow, yet progressive, erosion of our true national character. The growing masses that make up the groups of opposition fighting for the survival of the nation today in the TEA Parties, among others, could double — if not triple — in time, and may ultimately be victorious against the current threat of the Barack Obama socialist machine. While you and I work and pray for this to come to reality, the matter of American character will still lie before us, as does our ultimate destiny.

    In this struggle for the short term survival of the nation, as well as our place within history, I must admit a more than ample amount of animosity at the predicament we find ourselves in as a nation, including the timidity by many to provoke our enemies to anger — even while we are battling with these same foes for the future of all we hold dear. Has the quest for individual character, moral value and spiritual salvation been permanently replaced with the need to acquiesce to moral relativism, atheism, and the will of the group collective? I pray that this is not so, while knowing full well that if we as a nation were in proper form, there would be little concern about the few who would be offended by a nation that quests for the divine while denying the alternative, socialist bonds.

    I submit to you that as surely as an administration as unbelievably atrocious as that of Barack Obama could never have come to fruition in a country that carried the same national grit of the past, that we are equally destined to repeat the same calamitous scenario in the future — if we do not find this country's true American character — and firmly hold on to it.

    So, my fellow America brothers and sisters, have you yet made a list of the things you are prepared not to submit to. An authority that disregards your rights is no authority at all. Such usurpations of power represent a hand of aggression and subversion and is not a power over me when it disregards the rights enshrined in the constitution, which is the only true law of the land. Over-bearing authority that disregards the constitution is to be defied, disobeyed and disarmed, by any means possible. Leaders who not only circumvent the constitution should be put out of power, and in several cases, arrested and tried for treason. Are you taking this seriously? None of this is a conspiracy. For, it is all slapping us across the face and we will either fight back or live as bound men and women; bleating sheep being led to our social slaughter.

    What is a castle without a foundation?
    What is faith without tribulation?
    What is a marriage without a forgiving solution?
         What Is America without the Constitution?
    America
    You are About To Find Out
    Steven Clark Bradley

    There is life bigger than ours
    with hands stronger than ours
    having out-stretched arms
    much more far-reaching than ours
    There are eyes much more
    intently watching than ours
    and Intent ears, forever listening
    for those who have ears to hear.
    We always choose to know or disbelieve,
    down the road that we weave,
    that which will ultimately lead to peace or strife.
    There are always those troublesome forces
    that dutifully troll as friends or foes,
    as guides to death or life.
    We shall all give an answer,
    for we are certainly not silently alone,
    while we toil and travail to plant our presence;
    to give a sign that we were here,
    but that it was not our home;
    as we pave the path that will ultimately lead
    to peace and yet not alone.

    What Would They Say?


    America, turn back to God before it's too late.
    It's not religion; its relationship.
    He is waitning for you.
    Willing To Risk It?
    It Will Not Have Been The First Time
    Though, it could be the last

  • Four Lessons For Willow Morgan by Steven Clark Bradley & Selin Alicia Bradley

    There is nothing more important than imparting strong values in the lives of our children. It is tougher and tougher today with parents giving up more and more of their authority and responsibility to the schools and the government. Yet, nothing can do more for a child's future than teaching them about honesty, good choices and hard work when they are still young. That is why I have started this little book called Four lessons For Willow Morgan.

    This is a story a story about decisions, wise judgment and strong convictions about that which is right and that which is wrong. I am writing this a bit differently than I have in the past. This time, I am writing it together with my 9 year old daughter, Selin Alicia Bradley. She is a bright, sweet and very smart young lady and loves to read. So, this is a two-fold project that gives my little girl lessons in creativity and which can stimulate lots of children who may venture to read it. Willow is a little girl who is gowing up and who feels urges of rebellion, disobedience and disrespect starting to take hold in her life. Her mother and father recognize it and want to instill some true life lessons in her young heart.

    Read chapter one, (the only one I have written thus far) and it may make you recall the times you were faced with decisions and how hard it was, at times, to do the right thing. I hope you enjoy it. The young lady playing part of Willow Daisy Morgan in the blog is my beautiful daughter Selin Alicia Bradley. I bet you'll love it!


    ~~~

    Chapter One

    Cappadocia, Central Turkey

    “Willow Daisy Morgan, unchanged and alive.”

    “Sounds cool.” she mumbled with a twinge of mischievous glee.

    Willow looked around the place and thought it felt a little creepy, but she kind of liked it. “I was stupid not to want to come here. It’s…” She paused as her eyes darted around the room and her clever little mind formed her ideas as to why something was not to her liking and how other things were just right. “It’s obviously something clearly … cool.” Willow thought out loud as her mind drifted back to a moment that had actually seemed to carry her to this rustic, old beautiful place with ancient old monuments of a people who lived and survived in the caves of Gorem, Turkey.

    Four Weeks Earlier
    Cappadocia, Central Turkey

    She wondered if it was really all her daddy’s doing, getting her to that place. “Ridiculous!” she always told herself. But she had developed some kind of ritual about asking herself why her father had brought her all the way to Central Turkey.

    “He’s an Archeologist. It’s what they do.” Willow reminded herself sternly as she was getting herself ready for a perfect day, though not quite, since her daddy would not be with her; he’d be too busy on a dig somewhere in the ruins of Goreme, she knew he was special. He had a knack for reading people, sometimes perfectly sizing them up before he really knew him. Walter Morgan had not been stingy with his talents and had passed a portion of his gifts to her; things she was only now learning about.

    “He’s somewhere watching me, I just know it.” she laughed.

    He had told her it would be good for them to be together, but Willow Daisy Morgan was sure that she had talked less to her dad than she did in between his world-wide journeys. She had been almost under lock and key constantly, but she understood it was dangerous and it didn’t make her upset. What it did do, though was to make her probing mind try to put two and two together without the needed information. She was sure the one man she loved completely and trusted without doubt had brought her there for some reason other than he had said.

    “So, it has to be good, then.” Willow reassured herself. “He’d never do anything bad to me. I just know my daddy. And my mom, she’d kill or be killed to protect me.” Willow decided to play along, and, today was different. Willow had a free day today, and she could go out and wander in the caves of Goreme and see how people lived in a time when her habit of comfort was very seldom lived. Willow heard a knock at her door.

    “Miss Morgan, you know it’s your free day. Your guide is here.” the house Butler kindly shouted through the closed door.

    “Hi Franklin, I’ll be right down.” She shouted back.

    Willow pulled her boots on and her jacket. She just knew something big was on for today. It was the strangest feeling she had ever had, and it animated her ... energized her. She zipped up the jacket and put her Cubs hat on her head and got ready for … whatever. Willow walked over to the door and saw a picture on the wall suddenly tilt to the right.

    “That was weird.” Willow admitted. She walked over to the picture and reached up to straighten it. Crooked things, half-closed doors or drawers closed with bits of clothing sticking out of them made her a certain kind of crazy. It was a compulsion, but she didn’t fight it.


    Willow took hold of the picture and she felt a gust of wind brush across the left side of her face and then on her right and it seemed to swirl around her. She was afraid and wanted to scream, but instead used the words she had made herself believe would shield her from any danger.

    “Willow Daisy Morgan, unchanged and alive.”

    She felt its touch and then saw it swirled into a perfectly pure white mist. What scared her was that she wasn’t scared at all. “It’s too beautiful to be bad, but she knew that way of knowing if something or someone was good or not did not always work. She decided to let it show her.

    The mist moved, more slowly and it took on a shape. Willow was sure she saw wings and it was massive and peaceful and had a glow that was not from power but purity, like something that had never done wrong.

    “That’s better than me.” Willow told herself.

    A face emerged and smiled at Willow. It stretched out its arm and touched her and it spoke. Willow knew it wasn’t speaking English, but she understood it.
    “Are you Willow Daisy Morgan?”

    “Come on now, you’re telling that you just barged into my room and appeared so coolly, and you’re not even sure of my name?”

    “Well, I was just told to ask you that.”

    “Don’t worry.” Willow said. “I know it was rhetorical.”

    The white beautiful beast looked a bit confused. “It means you were being polite, right?”

    The white glowing image livened and looked more confident. “Yes, that’s right. I was trying to … connect with you; I think I read your age group says that to each other.

    Willow rolled her eyes. “You’re an angel, aren’t you?”

    “I am a Watcher, Miss Willow Daisy Morgan. I guess that is one type of Angel, according to humans.”

    “Well, I think you’re cool, so just be yourself, cause I always am. I think this is what my teacher called a cultural teachable moment or something like that. But you really are very beautiful.” The Watcher’s wings glowed a bit brighter, obviously appreciating Willow’s words.

    “And one more thing.” Willow said. “You can just call me Willow. It’s a lot easier, don’t you think?”

    “Indeed, Miss Willow.”

    “I didn’t say Miss Willow. I said just plain Willow.”

    “But, Miss Willow, there is nothing plain about you at all.” The Watcher looked at Willow and wondered. “Oh my, none of my brothers told me I’d have one of them.”

    “And what do you mean by ‘one of them?” Willow wondered. “You know, one of the stubborn ones who know everything.”

    “You mean there’s bad luck in heaven?” Willow asked.

    “Not until today.” the Watcher replied.

    Willow looked frustrated and then they just laughed.

    “I hope you’ll come back and see me soon again, but I have to go now.”

    “Indeed, Willow, you do have to go … with me.”

    “With you? No way! If I am not downstairs in a couple of minutes, I am going to get so grounded.”

    The Watcher touched Willows forehead and she rose up off the ground.

    Willow looked down at the floor below her and started trying to protect herself again.

    “Willow Daisy Morgan, unchanged and alive.” She shouted with her feet dangling in the air. “Willow Daisy Morgan, unchanged and alive.”

    Willow was flaying her legs and kicking at the white beast and it shook its head and smiled. Franklin was again knocking on the door.

    “Miss Morgan, are you Okay?” Willow looked over at the door and then hers and the Watcher’s eyes met.

    “Willow, no one shall compel you. It is you and you alone who can decide what you wish. Doesn’t a life of greater importance interest you?” Willow stopped throwing her feet around and calmly looked at the Watcher.

    “Willow Morgan, can you hear me?” Franklin asked while pounding on the door.

    “Guess it’s now or never, huh?”

    “I wouldn’t put it that way, because it is never too late to do good, but I know what you mean.”

    “You sure are a strange angel.”

    Franklin was giving the door body slams now. “Open the door, Willow!”



    “And how many Watch…angels have you known that would give you the ability to form such an opinion of me?" Asked the Watcher as he leaped into the air.




    "Come down here." Willow demanded. "I don't have time for this. Franklin's going to kill me if I don't get down there."

    Franklin pounded again and again and took out his cell phone. He pressed a key into the lock.

    ~~~

    Willow's father, Walter Morgan was up a hill on one of the caves; digging in one of the ancient homes and collecting an ancient treasure of information. He had a cell phone to his ear and a small pick in his other hand pounding a certain stone that looked like nothing but which was precious to his professional eye. He felt the other cell phone in his pocket vibrate and threw down the pick. He took the phone read the name of the caller and spoke into the cell already pasted to his ear.

    “Honey, I am sure this is about Willow. No, don’t worry; she’s going to be fine, just like you and I were. With significance comes risk. I’ll call you back. Love you too.” He closed the cell and opened the other.

    “This is Walt.”

    “Sir, Miss Willow has locked herself in her room and refuses to open the door. Should I…?”

    “By all means, Franklin. You can open the door.”

    Willow heard the key enter the lock. She extended her hand and the Watcher took hold of it. Franklin turned the key and suddenly, she felt herself racing upward and saw the ceiling getting closer and closer and then it was gone. They flew low and towards Israel.



    Franklin threw the door open and stepped quickly into the room. He heard a noise above him and looked up and saw nothing, but he was sure he saw a shoe, a boot that was there and then … not.


    “If I get grounded, I am gonna tell God and he’s gonna … demote you!” Willow said laughing with her hair flying backward and the wind bouncing off her face. She was very much alive and loving it.




    The Watcher looked down at Willow and she smiled with great excitement. The Watcher did as well, but knew the entire journey would not bring her joy. “Not one with her type of personality.” Some things had to be learned with difficulty and sometimes pain.

    Walter Morgan’s phone rang again. “Betty, she’s going to be alright, I promise.” He looked up and saw what only those like he, his wife and his daughter could see. Out in the horizon, headed South East, Walt Morgan saw his daughter zooming through the sky; held up by a watcher of God. “Honey, believe me, she’s well on her way.”

    Willow’s eyes again saw the present world again and left the past behind. She looked down and saw the book neatly fitted inside the box. She picked up the card again.

    “Wow, that day made me a believer.” She thought.

    Willow was changing. At thirteen, she was, “not a kid anymore.” She blurted out. She looked up at the ceiling and really liked the magical way the nightlight shined into the rafters above that held up the whole place.


    “People are smart” she decided. “Sometimes.” She added. Willow knew that meant she didn’t need her mom and dad to tell her what to do anymore.

    “I can figure things out just fine for myself, anymore.”

    Being a ‘good little girl’ at church three times a week was just not her anymore. It had all become so routine; so boring. The world just seemed so big to her now with so much to learn, both good and bad for a thirteen-year-old who did not want to play the game of being who she was not. It would be a moment of discovery. Her attitude made her feel guilty, but it was a journey she had to take.

    Willow glared out the window into the dark night sky and saw the distant flickering lights from homes down the hill of some who were not as rich as she was but who probably had more peaceful hearts than she did. She looked around the room again and walked over to her bed. Willow got down on her belly by her bed and reached under it for the box she had shoved under there right after she and her parents had arrived earlier in the day. She pulled it out and gazed down at the box that she just knew had something magical about it, because it was the only thing she could think about all through dinner. Willow knew that she had not found it by chance; the treasure, which is what Willow called it and what she thought it might lead to.

    “I just had to open it.” Willowed said quietly out loud. She recalled how her fingers sort of tingled when she touched the box, and how her hands were not her own; reaching and just taking the cover right off. It seemed … “Unavoidable, really inescapable.” Just as her fingers were doing right now.

    Willow pulled hard and the top of the box was sudden in her hands and she felt suddenly frozen; not with fear. It was some kind of understanding that she’d never be the same after this adventure. It was the kind of quest had usually only imagined or dreamt. Willow pinched herself to make sure it was real. The not to pleasant feeling shot up her arm that told her it was the real deal.

    Willow placed the cover on the floor and saw the same envelope on top she had not been able to muster up the courage to open the last two times she had ventured this far into whatever it was that awaited her. Then, both times she had managed to hold it up to the light and see a watermark image of the massive estate that her mom and dad brought her to on the card through the envelope. It was then that Willow knew she’d be there, somehow. So when her mother and father announced this little summer getaway, she wasn’t shocked one bit. In fact, she even pretended not to want to go so they’d make her do it all the more. She had them figured out a long time ago, but she loved them that way. Willow also knew that her mom and dad had her pretty well figured out too. She was sure they knew of her pretend life, singing, going on young people’s outings at church, but not really because she liked it. She had actually snuck away three times from church, but her mom knew it, but had not told Willow’s dad and Willow was sure her mom was smarter than her young mind liked to admit.

    Willow took the box and again held it up to the light, but felt a powerful urge and ripped it open. Willow’s hands were shaking a bit, but she still pulled out the card that was inside and seemed, in her mind, to be clamoring to get out. She took the card out and turned it over and read it. The message started with, ‘Dear Willow’. The thirteen-year-old was so rattled by seeing her name there that she dropped it to the bed. Willow looked down at the box lying on the bed and her name was no longer there. That seemed to replace her fear with intrigue and disappointment, especially disappointment, in fact. Willow picked it up again and her name appeared there once more. “Isn’t that amazing?” she almost shouted. She opened it and let a scroll slide out. She unrolled it and began to read.

    “Good evening to you, you’ve decided to open the box. Your interest has peaked that could not stop you from looking inside the box. You’d still look in without delay if there had been ten thousand locks.

    "You’re off on a journey of discovery and an unbelievable tale. Be careful who you talk to and do watch out for their sweet and evil spell.

    "You are going to see what many have not. You’re going to know, don’t forget to ask ‘what.’ I cannot assure you that you’ll come back here exactly as the same kid. Yet, it is known that if you do not take the journey, you’ll forever wish that you actually did.

    Beware of the black hearts, for they will make you the same as all of them. Look on with a full heart and become someone you have never ever been, and by the way … have fun!”

    Willow took the words into her mind and thought about the poem that had gripped her heart and mind and tantalized her. She read the rest of it.

    “Look to your right at the window and be ready to take a dive, it’s a voyage of faith that will make you know you’re alive.”

    “Wait a minute!” Willow said. She got off the floor by her bed and walked over to the other side and looked down at the box and scroll card. Now it read, “Look to your left at the window and be ready to take a dive, it’s a voyage of faith that will make you know you’re alive.” Willow chuckled and giggled. Isn’t that the most awesome thing you’ve ever seen.” She almost shouted again, both a tad bit scared and totally amazed.

    Willow got on her bed and looked down at the card again. “Look straight ahead at the window and be ready to take a dive, it’s a voyage of faith that will make you know you’re alive, and stop playing around and pay attention.” That frightened her a bit and she dropped the card, but her curious heart made her quickly pick it back up, and she pinched herself again. She was awake alright.

    “This is why I’m here.” she told herself. So, she read the rest.

    "Willow Daisy Morgan, about to change and very much alive."

  • America On The Brink... - Is National Suicide Patriotic?


    There are many today who see the unusual events that are even now causing the world to take notice of the diabolical happenings that raise the blood levels of millions of people around the world. America has been attacked. We are engaged in a seemingly endless struggle against dark forces that never tire of inflicting their torment upon the globe. People are now in fear and have started to hoard food, forcing stores to limit purchases. Today, the evil of the Culture of Death is pushing abortion on demand, gay marriage and euthanasia and a very blatant socialist agenda. These are all things that would have been inconceivable in a forgone day.


    Recently, I spoke with one of my readers about how similar various sections of Nimrod Rising are to what actually happened on September 11, 2001. I agreed with her and then went on to tell her that even though the similarity is very great, the sections of Nimrod Rising about which she was speaking were actually written in 1996. Of course, she did not believe me, and I understand why it is difficult to accept such a revelation that seemed too far-fetched to accept when there are seemingly no answers. Yet, there are answers to why we now walk in concern and fear for what the world will face in the future and why it is happening.


    What I have written and what we have seen come to pass are really not as difficult to predict as one might think. There are plenty of sources, both biblical and extra-biblical that have predicted the various actions that will face the world at a time of great calamity and change. What we face today is in reality nothing less than the birth pangs of a new world, one that will be free of terror and strife, one controlled by a benevolent despot who will restrain evil and build security for his people. Yet, just as a mother suffers great pain and hardship prior to holding her new little life in her arms, so also, the world will experience massive sorrow and will walk in the valley of death before peace and sanctuary are established on the Earth.

    Point Of No Return!

    Just before the 2008 elections, the conservative economist and commentator Thomas Sowell warned that a Barack Obama presidency would prove a "point of no return" for America.





    Why? Because once in power, Dr. Sowell explained, President Obama and the Democratic majorities in Congress would effect such radical changes in our nation's economy, legal structure and social fabric that there would be no rolling them back.



    Today, we stand on the brink of Dr. Sowell's prediction coming true.


    Consider the following...
    WE ARE ON THE BRINK of a government takeover of the health care industry that will empower federal bureaucrats to make life-and-death decisions about your medical care -- a system certain to favor the politically well-connected over ordinary citizens, as it does in Canada -- and that will put all your private medical records in a government database (don't worry, they promise never to use them against you)

    Enemies Of The State!





    WE ARE ON THE BRINK because we have confirmed a Supreme Court nominee who believes that her own ethnic prejudices as a "wise Latina woman" are more important in deciding cases than our laws or Constitution -- a woman who has ruled that discrimination is just fine when practiced against white males





    WE ARE ON THE BRINK of enacting "cap-and-trade" legislation that will cripple American competitiveness in the global economy, double home utility bills, add thousands to the cost of new cars, and cost U.S. workers an estimated 2.5 million jobs per year -- while doing next to nothing to impact a "global warming" problem that is largely fictitious to begin with


    WE ARE ON THE BRINK of becoming a nation where a majority of citizens receive lavish government handouts and benefits but pay no federal income taxes -- while continuing to vote themselves still more benefits from the shrinking minority who do pay taxes (at ever more "progressive" rates)



    We are on the brink, in short, of a revolutionary transformation of our system of government and our way of life -- one that will turn us into a European-style social-welfare state where only politicians, government bureaucrats, and their favored interests are able to thrive -- and where the only "liberty" that remains is the government's unlimited freedom to control every aspect of your life.


    I ask you now, my friend: Would you want to live in such an America? Would you want to bequeath such an America to your children and grandchildren?

    Neither would I. But guess what? We don't have to. Because believe me when I say...
    It's NOT Too Late to Stop
    This Nightmare

    But we'll have to fight. And we'll have to pull together -- as conservatives, as patriots -- as never before.



    Because make no mistake: Our would-be masters in Washington will stop at nothing to secure the power they've come to think of as theirs by divine anointing.





    Already, they are using the full force of federal power to crush whatever opposition stands in their way. For instance:

    • They fired AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin for blowing the whistle on the misuse of AmeriCorps funds by Kevin Johnson, the former NBA star who is now mayor of Sacramento, California and a prominent supporter of President Obama.

    • They silenced the author of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report that was skeptical of claims about global warming, including whether carbon dioxide must be strictly regulated by the federal government, on the eve of a vote on "cap and trade" legislation

    • They abruptly "retired" longtime Amtrak Inspector General Fred Weiderhold just after he met with officials of the government-subsidized rail service to discuss evidence of its meddling in financial audits and probes.




    And there is worse to come as they prepare to silence conservative talk-radio by reviving the Fairness Doctrine... and to enact "card check" laws that would expose anti-union workers to intimidation and harassment... and to pass the so-called Freedom of Choice Act to force pro-life medical professionals to refer patients for abortions.

     And who will stop them? The "watchdogs" of the mainstream media? The ACLU? Don't make me laugh.

    But all is not lost -- far from it. For as bleak as things may seem right now, freedom of speech and of conscience is not dead in America. It's just gone underground...





    ... to The Conservative Underground -- where people like you and me are free to think, say, and believe whatever we wish, no matter what the forces of political correctness may have to say about it.





    Here in The Conservative Underground, you're free to speak your mind even if...
    • ... you don't believe that Barack Obama is the Second Coming of J.C. (unless that J.C. is Jimmy Carter)
     • ... you don't believe that man-made "global warming" is a proven fact -- much less an excuse for destroying the U.S. economy -- just because Al Gore says so, especially when hundreds of respected scientists publicly disagree with him

    • ... you don't believe that the way back to prosperity in America lies in soaring tax rates and massive new spending programs that will add trillions to the federal deficit and eventually lead to runaway inflation

    • ... you don't believe that power in America should be transferred from our duly elected representatives to a small army of unelected "czars" (over twenty, at last count) appointed by President Obama

    • ... you don't believe that the U.S. Constitution is a "living document" that means whatever any Supreme Court majority declares it to mean
     • ... you do believe in all the old-fashioned virtues and principles -- such as faith, family, freedom, and self-reliance -- that made America great, and can help restore that greatness once again.


    If those are the things you value most -- and that you think are still worth fighting for, no matter how bleak things may seem at the moment -- then let me be first to say...
