In the News

News tidbits I find interesting or comment on. Stuff that was relevant at the time. Ideas that came to me when I read something "In the News."

Virtues?

The Devil issued a harshly worded statement against God today:

“What virtue is it to allow sinners to continue sinning?! God must not allow humans to have free will!

“What virtue is there in allowing evil humans to contintue to do oppress others in unjust ways?!

“What virtue is there in allowing anyone to do whatever he or she pleases?!

“God must step down from being God! God does not deserve to be God!”

General Reason:

Media Whores Hate First Amendment

Isn’t it so sad that the media whores — sell-outs to the mega-corpses — can’t seem to recall the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution? Um, the one that says:

Original
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

General Reason:

Founding Documents:

The Next Union Strike

I have my own demand for a strike. I demand the next time a union goes on strike it demands less money. That's right they need to demand a pay cut.

However, my proposal is they demand their top officers receive pay cuts.

Personally I'd like the see the extra money go towards making their products and services better, or even less expensive, but…

General Reason:

"Debt Ceiling" is Really "Debt Pit"

It's predictable, and ironic, how the people in power are calling the current situation a "debt ceiling"

  • as though we're being prevented from going high,
  • as though we're being held down,
  • as though the sky awaits but evildoers are shackling us to the ground.

General Reason:

Cheering the Death of the Wicked

You can tell a person doesn't deserve power or authority (political, financial, economic, religious, etc…) if they glorify war, if they glorify killing.

You can tell a person doesn't know God if they rejoice over the death of the wicked.

Ezekiel 18:23 (NIV)

Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?

Ezekiel 33:11 (NIV)

Testament:

Book:

"Your Private Life is NOT Yours, It's Mine ALL Mined!"

The megacorpses have spoken!

You belong to us! You have NO secrets from us.

You have no secrets from whomever we choose to sell your private lives to!

We own the U.S. Supreme Court!

You are all guilty until proven innocent. (But don't worry, we have lots of false witnesses ready to take the stand, paid for by the U.S. government.)

All your information is mine! All mined!

All bow down to Drug War!

WikiLeaks and Judgement Day

Dear Deceiving Politicians, Industry, and Religious Leaders,

The exposure you all get come Judgement Day is going to make this most recent http://WikiLeaks.org episode look like a grain of sand on the beach.

http://WikiLeaks.org is only publishing some of your written papers. On Judgement Day your thoughts, all your words, the intentions of your actions, and all of your writings will be exposed.

The time to stop lying to us is NOW!

General Reason:

Oxygen Banned on Airplanes. Next: People and Luggage

Not long after the shoe bomber was found out, everyone was viewed as a terrorist and our shoes were viewed at terror objects.

General Reason:

Margaret Warner Interviews Deaf Man

In case you are interested in seeing just how out of touch our government is with its citizens, please read the following transcript or watch the video. John Pistole, administrator, Transportation Security Administration, speaks flawlessly like a politician, although he's not.

He completely ignores nearly every question Margaret asks!

General Reason:

Kerry Carries the Water for the Warmongers Now, Lending Credence to the Saying "Power Corrupts"

I was nearly sick to my stomach last night as I watched the PBS News Hour and heard Massachusetts Senator John Kerry go on and on about how we needed to be in Afghanistan. Hm, something doesn't compute! Wasn't he a member of Vietnam Veteran's Against the War? Hm, according to Wikipedia he was even the spokesperson for them.

My, how times have changed.

General Reason:

Rice and Beans Truck Can't Handle the Right Turn

It's been a while since I've typed up a dream I've had. This doesn't mean I've not had dreams at night, it just means I'm not logging them here.

But due to a number of dreams I had after Obama was elected, I figured I'd share a dream I had last night.

General Reason:

"Dying Frankenstein and Mad Woman" Spread Fear and Terror

Recently I was informed by someone a "dying Frankenstein and a mad woman" were working hard to spread fear and terror across the countryside.

Then I realized what the person was talking about. Senator Dianne Feinstein's interest in maintaining the black market in marijuana, the destruction of the environment due to grow operations in national forests, the unrighteous (and expensive) imprisonment of people for using a plant product humanity has been using for thousands of years, and the mass murder of Mexicans.

General Reason:

Evil Greedy Hypocrites Continue to Undermine Society

In their ongoing effort to destroy our society and the societies of the world, retailers worked in cahoots with companies specializing in money (banks, credit card companies, pay day lenders, etc…) to tempt people to buy junky stuff they don't need made by near-slaves in foreign lands.

General Reason:

Unpatriotic Crybaby Unemployed Whine Over Lack of Food and Housing When Instead They Should be Thinking About How We Can Raise the Money to Pay Generals $10,000+ per Month!

As unemployment handouts dry up for people, they are complaining about a lack of jobs. But don't these people realize that we needed to defy our own Declaration of Independence by make sure the military has more power than civilians? And not just here, but we need to force a militaristic attitude on all countries.

General Reason:

Testament:

Men of Lawlessness, "We Don't Need No Damn Stinkin' Regulations!"

The Men of Lawlessness continued their push to prevent them or their overlords from being regulated.

"The only good regulation is the one that allows me to drain all the money from your accounts in to mine!" mocked one Man of Lawlessness.

A woman chimed in, "hey, don't be sexist please! There are such things as 'women of lawlessness' too! Didn't you know that the CEO of Mystery Inc. is a woman?

General Reason:

He Wants the Blame for Illegal Immigrants

Blame me for illegal immigrants

http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/04/09/navarrette.illegal.immigrants/inde...

Why does the United States have so much illegal immigration?

Why "Don't Ask, Don't Tell?"

Introduction

I, for one, can not say I'm interested in hearing of people's sexual exploits or interests. I don't ask for that information, but it is sometimes volunteered to me. For the most part, it is not exactly breaking news to me. But I do my best to follow the Golden Rule and treat others with the respect I would like to be treated with. Generally I just change the subject.

General Reason:

They Promote Sin, NOT Holding it Back

Isn't it sad, sick, ironic, and totally predictable* that those who think they are God's gift to humanity and claim to be "holding back" the forces of sin, are in fact the very ones who are promoting evil the most?!

* And even predicted in the Bible.

Here's the easiest passage to share with you. Just read all of Matthew 23, notice how Jesus rages against those who block the entrance to God's kingdom.

Testament:

General Reason:

Book:

McCain's Inane Comment

I know this is not exactly breaking news at the moment, not that it was when he uttered it, but it's been jabbing me every day since I heard it, so it's finally time to write it down.

On the PBS NewsHour's December 1, 2009 show, Arizona Senator John McCain (Republican) said something that made me cringe. You might still be able to download the segment. You can fast forward to 2:55 to hear the section I quote below.

General Reason:

Hiring Internet Writers

Why is it our government hires people from foreign lands who supposedly write well on the Internet, and those people end up killing themselves and U.S. citizens?

What about the people of our own country who write well?

Is it because we want the U.S. to not crash and burn? Is it because were are not trying to trick our fellow citizens, enslave them with debt, or kill them?

Is it because we write concisely and to-the-point, and our government only seems to hire people whose writing is as clear as mud?

General Reason:

Obama to Keep U.S. on Path of Only War

Instead of letting better organizations than the war machine work to help foreign countries, instead of admitting the wars around the world don't do much more than fill the pockets of the rich and stomp God's green earth to death, instead of admitting that all these wars are a vain attempt to make certain plants extinct, it seems Back Obama recently confirmed our worst fears.

Summarizing what he said, we are just a nation of war. It was something like that. He believes in only war. We should just focus on war. It was something like that.

General Reason:

Some TV Preachers Eager to be Tossed Out With Trash

Here are some other possible headlines:

Some TV Preachers Work Hard to Strain Out One Gnat Then Swallow Camels Whole

Some TV Preachers Work Hard to Claw at the Specks in Others' Eyes While Overlooking the Logs in Their Own

If you want to know what I'm talking about, then you should probably turn on religious TV stations once in a while and read the Bible, in particular the New Testament, and in particular the books: John, Luke, Mark, and Matthew.

Testament:

General Reason:

NewOldSalt.com Revokes Support for "Healthcare" 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA — Insignificant philosopher, theologian, pamphleteer, and blogger NewOldSalt.com announced his rejection of the latest banter and proposal of Healthcare Reform, Health Insurance Reform, in the closing months of 2009.

General Reason:

Wireless Carriers Short Circuit Over FCC's Net Neutrality Stance

Outraged over the government's interest in "Net Neutrality" wireless carriers shouted in protest.

They issued their demands:

General Reason:

Bruce Barton on Change

Bruce Barton

“When you’re through changing, you’re through.”

Who is/was Bruce Barton?* A fundraiser for Barack Obama? A left-wing nut bent on turning the U.S. into another form of government? An anti-democracy or anti-federalist nut-case closely watched by the CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security? The anti-Christ? Someone who hated Jesus?

Testament:

Book:

"I Am My Brother's Keeper. I Will Keep Him Suffering. I Will Keep His Money in My Bank Account."

Isn't it ironic that so many people who mistakenly take Cain's indignant statement to God—"am I my brother's keeper?"—as though it was a command, seem to be the very ones shouting the loudest against an intelligent and compassionate healthcare system, like every other modern society has? One that is more interested in keeping people healthy and fixing ills quickly versus making executives rich and enriching their shareholders? Isn't this so much bigger than a miniscule portion of the population seeking enormous financial gain from driving so many to bankruptcy?

Testament:

General Reason:

Book:

Why Are So Many Self-Professed Christians Focused on Finding "Anti-Christ" vs. "Elijah?"

Why are so many people who call themselves Christians so busy looking for the anti-Christ?

It's it written in Revelation (ch. 11-13), foretold by Yeshua/Jesus (Matt 17, Mark 9, Luke 1), and alluded to in the Old Testament (Malachi 4) that Elijah returns and preaches before the anti-Christ shows up.

But I don't hear one word about Christians trying to see who is "the Elijah who is to come" (see Matt, Mark, Luke refs. above) or figuring out from scripture what he might say or do.

Great Love Story: Man Adopts Children of Former (and Deceased) Girlfriend

This story is really a great story of love. Get ready to wipe the tears from your eyes! Here are some excerpts:

It's no wonder she embraced this philosophy of self-reliance. She knew how unexpectedly life can rob you of someone you care about. My parents adopted me as an infant and went on to have a biological child -- my brother, Jason -- a couple of years later.
