Jesus "Challenges" Catholics

An interesting compilation by a Catholic priest of things he always seems to want to do or believe, but Jesus seems to want him to do or believe something else. Take a look at it, as it's rather thought-provoking.

I've arranged my own compilation along those same lines, also from the point of view of a Catholic, but with a slightly different angle:

I want to call my priest "Father," and He says, "Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."

I want to pray to God through the saints and their statues, and He says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

I want to be saved by living a good life, and He says, "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

I want to believe only the Pope is God's personal vicar and holy representative on Earth, and He says, "There is no respect of persons with God."

I want to call Mary the 'Mother of God', and He says, "Whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."

I want to do all of these things anyway, because they are all long-standing traditions in my Church, and He says, "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."

APF Draws More Criticism

The ever vigilant Tennessee Sons of Liberty has just posted some more resources on what is possibly the strangest hoax of the year.

When will the mainstream media pick up on this?

Here is a local news blurb about it, apparently showing that "officials" from American Police Force have already arrived, and are planning to stay in the town for a month:

(Note the license plate on the APF SUV appears to be a dealership plate, not a state plate.)

How far are the APF and the City of Hardin going to take this?

American Police Force: Montana Town to be Patrolled by Mercs?

According to local news, the town of Hardin, Montana, has been lacking prisoners for their contractor-built prison for two years; a fitting scenario for Sheriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife of Mayberry, North Carolina, but not good enough for Two Rivers Authority, the contractor who built the jail. They have now signed with "American Police Force", a supposed mercenary company with "years of experience" in military and investigative fields, to patrol the streets of Hardin and fill their jail; in fact, the company claims the United States to be their number one client.

This has caused great concern with many, as who wants a mercenary group enforcing local laws?

In the news article above, however, there are some issues concerning the validity of the group. The company claims "years of experience" in their field, though their spokesman allegedly said the organization was incorporated in February of this year. The address of their supposed headquarters in Washington D.C. has no apparent connection with the group.

The vice-president of Two Rivers Authority says he doesn't see any cause for alarm in these inconsistencies, claiming to have personally spoken to the representatives of APF; the company is expected to be in Hardin next week to open 250 positions within the company. Fortunately, most of these postitions will be locally held.

An independent investigation on my part was hindered due to the company's websites "not existing", and the references to the company were few; perhaps a coinicidence, but who can know?

It is the consideration of all this evidence which leads to my opinion that the city of Hardin is probably being defrauded, and evil may befall the hapless citizens who will be put under the thumb of this unknown mercenary company.

Time will tell.

UPDATE: The American Police Force website is back up in part. After a brief inspection, I have determined that many of the images doctored to falsely show off their military might:

(Note the police badge on the red shield is blocked, as well as the word "POLICE" on the tag.)


(Note computer-generated image of helicopter.)

(The Serbian Coat of Arms is also prominently superimposed on many images on the website as their emblem.)

(This image is nothing more than a poorly modified version of the Russian Empire's Coat of Arms; note where the globe has been "cloned" out of the eagle's right talon.)

This is looking more and more to be a fraudulent company, which proudly declares to be able to form a "special forces battalion within 72 hours", yet also claims to "NOT" be a mercenary army.

Pondering the Memorare and Consecration to St. Joseph and Mary

"O Mary, Virgin most powerful and Mother of mercy, Queen of Heaven and Refuge of sinners, we consecrate ourselves to thine Immaculate Heart." ~Catholic "Consecration to Mary"

Oh, nothing wrong with that, right?

"Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who implored your help and sought your intercession were left unassisted. Full of confidence in your power I fly unto you and beg your protection. Despise not O Guardian of the Redeemer my humble supplication, but in your bounty, hear and answer me. Amen." ~Catholic "Memorare to St. Joseph"

Oh yeah, it's totally scriptural! Honest!

But wait, there's more!

"O dearest St. Joseph, I consecrate myself to your honor and give myself to you, that you may always be my father, my protector and my guide in the way of salvation. Obtain for me a greater purity of heart and fervent love of the interior life. After your example may I do all my actions for the greater glory of God, in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. O Blessed St. Joseph, pray for me, that I may share in the peace and joy of your holy death. Amen." ~Catholic "Act of Consecration to St. Joseph"

That is completely in keeping with God's Word... honest! Except a few things:

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." ~John 14:6

"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." ~Matthew 23:9

"But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe." ~Galatians 3:22

"I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." ~Matthew 22:32

"He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err." ~Mark 12:27

And, about the whole "Queen of Heaven" title:

"The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger." ~Jeremiah 7:18

Which of These Does Not Fit? II

In a previous post, I asked my readers to see if they could find the video that didn't belong. This was really a multiple answer question, and if you got it, congrats: you are a rational person!

All of the buildings in the videos, with one exception, were controlled demolitions; but one was peculiar, and another was of importance due to the peculiar one.

Introducing the "Saloman Brothers Building", more popularly known as "World Trade Center Building 7":



Looks pretty well conclusive that it was deliberately demolished, doesn't it? Not according to the government. You see, this video was taken in New York City, on September 11th, 2001. Yes, 9/11.

What's the significance? The 9/11 Commission Report (web-search it if you don't know what it is) says it collapsed due to fire. Even though it is a modern, steel-structured building, used by the CIA, it is only the third such building to ever collapse due to fire; the first two were the Twin Towers.

Okay then, if they said it collapsed due to fire, by golly, it collapsed due to fire!

What about the last video in the aforementioned post?

Introducing the "Mandarin Hotel" of China:



Look at the fires of Building 7, then look at this fire. Big diff.

Why didn't the hotel implode into its own footprint like Building 7?

Now, "debunkers of the conspiracy theorists" would tell us that there was severe damage to WTC 7 due to the collapse of the Twin Towers, and that also caused its perfect implosion. They cite this chart:



Okay, yeah, WTC7 was in the zone, huh?

What about WTC6 on the chart? See it? That puppy must have just been obliterated!



Hmm. The building had WTC1 literally fall on it, but it didn't even collapse.

Hmm. Does this make me crazy?

A Song for Trying Times

Heckler at Obama Rally

Color me a crazy conspiracy theorist (if you haven't already), but I'm thinking this was staged. It just doesn't seem right, if you know what I mean. He was supposedly protesting abortion funding.

Maybe he was legit, but I don't know. He seemed to not be all there.

Regardless, the man needs to crack open a Bible:

"Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?"
~1 Corinthians 11:14

Illegals Won't Get Coverage, Eh?

"President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.

'Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don't simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken,' Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. 'That's why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.'

Mr. Obama added, 'If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all.'"

~Washington Times

So, when Obama was calling anyone who says illegals will be covered is a liar, and Joe Wilson shouted, "You lie!", the outrage over the latter statement was... astroturf? Apparently, because Obama is admittedly planning to legalize the illegals for the purpose of covering them under Obamacare.

Mr. President, you lie!

10 and a Half Minutes with the President

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with our 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, while he was out promoting his health care reform initiative. I requested 20 minutes given the scope and detail of my inquiry; they said I could have 10. Ten minutes, 600 seconds, not a lot of time to question the President about one of the most important questions in our nation’s Presidential history. The following is a transcript of our remarkable conversation.


Son3: Good day to you, sir! I appreciate you lowering yourself enough to converse with a pleb.

BHO: Yes, I know. Get on with it.

Son3: Certainly. I would like to let you know I didn't support you in the last election, but I don't want you to think that's why I'm bringing this subject up.

BHO: That's fine; I'm a major fan of the blog, by the way.

Son3: Really?

BHO: Um, no!

Son3: Oh. Well, I have some questions to ask you.

BHO: Tick-tock! Time is marching on!

Son3: Right. Sir, as you know, there is a large contingent of people who don't believe the official story concerning your place of birth, or the extenuating circumstances of your citizenship status.

BHO: I know.

Son3: I would think it'd be in your interest to answer their questions, respond to their concerns, et cetera.

BHO: Get on with it, boy.

Son3: Did you just call me "boy"?

BHO: What'd you call me?

Son3: Never mind. Um, why have you not submitted your birth certificate for examination by the general public, or even to a select group of experts?

BHO: I have. My campaign people released it online during the election last year.

Son3: Not exactly. That was an internet image of a shortform copy of your birth certificate. Besides, why, if you allowed your campaign staff to get a hold of it then, nobody can see it now?

BHO: I trust my campaign staff.

Son3: But you don't trust the American people?

BHO: Oh, that was deep! *Rolls eyes*

Son3: Seriously, sir, what do you trust them to keep secret?

BHO: I didn't say anything about secrets.

Son3: Okay, then why, if your administration is trying to promote transparency in government, why don't you simply release the certificate?

BHO: [An aide walks in and whispers to the President] You have 8 minutes left, Son3.

Son3: Then I won't waste a moment. Sir, your staff has mentioned your birth place in Hawaii as being at two different hospitals. Why the discrepancy there?

BHO: I don't know, good help is hard to find.

Son3: What about your step-grandmother saying, on multiple occasions, you were born in Mombassa, Kenya?

BHO: She did? Oh, well, you know how old people are. Maybe I should send free healthcare to Africa.

Son3: So, you're not going to answer the question?

BHO: You've got 6 minutes left.

Son3: Fine. You graduated Columbia University; can we see your transcript?

BHO: No. Why would you want to get that, anyway?

Son3: Because, you lived in Indonesia for four years with your mother and her husband under the name "Barry Soetoro", went to school to be taught in the Muslim religion, and you can even speak Indonesian to this day. The American people would like to know if you gave up your U.S. citizenship in Indonesia, and went to Columbia as a foreign student. Did you?

BHO: Cerita panjang.

Son3: Yeah. That. Are you going to release your college transcripts?

BHO: No. I don't have to.

Son3: Why not? And what about your passport?

BHO: You have 4 minutes.

Son3: Gosh, there are many questions that you haven't answered. Why don't you just answer them?

BHO: I don't need to, because you "Birthers" are on the fringe! Even your Conservative idols Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck don't care! Don't you think if they thought these were legitimate questions they'd stop making fun of people like you?

Son3: Apparently not. I suppose if they can't answer these questions, like you, they're dishonest to dismiss them.

BHO: Welcome to real-world politics.

Son3: You mean the demented-world politics.

BHO: I'm not releasing anything, even if they were on your side. The majority of Americans are on my side, as evidenced by my election, and the majority doesn't care about any of these questions.

Son3: The majority hasn't been given a fair chance to hear the facts! Liberals and Neo-Conservatives alike have marginalized this issue with strawman arguments, for no apparent reason! The people can't get the facts!

BHO: What's your point, Son3? Your time's almost up.

Son3: The point is that the people are slowly realizing that your silence on this issue is evidence of your ineligibility. The strawman arguments aren't working anymore. You and the media will answer our questions eventually. Already, there are dozens of cases being filed against you in the courts.

BHO: [President stands up to leave] I've heard enough.

Son3: [Walking after him] Obama, we're not giving up on this!

BHO: Yeah, whatever!

Son3: You are going to answer for your fraud; we know what you are and what you're doing, sir!

BHO: You lie, boy!

Son3: [As doubledoors close in face] We're not going away!

I looked at my timer, "10: 32". 10 and a half minutes with the President.

What you have just read didn’t actually happen… yet. Our questions shall be answered. Someday.

Constitution Day

"It is federal, because it is the government of States united in a political union, in contradistinction to a government of individuals, that is, by what is usually called, a social compact. To express it more concisely, it is federal and not national because it is the government of a community of States, and not the government of a single State or Nation."
~John C. Calhoun

It is a little noticed distinction, in this day and generation, that there is a grand separation of powers, not within the government of the United States, but a separation of that government and the nation. The bonds between the two are inherently dissoluble, as nations will outlast and alter their governments, likewise a government its people. So it is that we were not given a national government, of the nation, but a federal government, of sovereign states.

"The States are nations." ~Daniel Webster

The nations created their states, including the legislatures of those states, and these formed a union with each other, centered and controlled by an impartial document, a Constitution, which could only be changed or amended by the states; the people are governed thereby only as far as they consent to be governed.

"... That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the Consent of the governed..."
~U.S. Declaration of Independence

The seats of power within this federal union have corrupted their powers, subverted their contracts, and subsequently waged war on the American people. These dastards know of their own treachery, as they took an oath to support the Constitution; why remind them of this in letters and phone calls? Would we visit a murderer in prison to tell him that he killed someone? (As though he didn't know.)



Continuous "Tea Parties" are in no wise in keeping with the spirit or demeanor of the first "Boston Tea Party", and the lack of response from our legislators shows their futility. Peaceful demonstration has proved useless. Purposeless organizations such as the 9/12 Project serve only to act as steam valves for Americans, letting escape the seething heat of patriotism from the never-boiling pot of resistance.



Our government has been hijacked, like the Vichy French, rendering our Constitution worthless, having no force of law. Of what use is the Constitution if it has no power? How can we have rule of law if the law is subverted daily?

What can we do? Do you not know, my friends? Have we become so disconnected from reality that we do not remember our own history? What is our course? What is our heading?

What will you do without freedom? How much longer will we tolerate the daily injustices of oppression and tyranny? Why stand we here idle? Are we so fearful of the "tempestuous seas of liberty" that we will suffer the indignity and humiliation of despotism? What of the sacrifice of the millions who have died for this freedom we have lost? Have they all died in grand vanity?



Forbid it, Almighty God! I cannot bring myself to believe that our country shall be brought to such an end! Can you not, my compatriots, feel the tension, as though this was all coming to a head, as though this was all about to crescendo in a terrible clash between freedom and oppression? I can feel it.

"The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.

The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!

I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

~Patrick Henry

MSNBC: "10th Amendment is a Bunch of Baloney!"

"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That 'all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people' (10th Amendment). To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible to any definition."
~Thomas Jefferson

Rambo V: Battle for Justice?

Not being into the whole "Rambo" craze, it is odd of me to take interest in the newest addition to the collection of Sylvester Stallone's filmography.

The plot of Rambo V, however, caught my attention. Sylvester is getting on in years, and it is a little unusual for a 63 year old man to be fighting bloody wars of valor; perhaps that's why I was so intrigued to hear about this new film of his.

According to initial reports, the sketchy details about the plot of his 2011 film has him hunting down the drug-traffickers of Mexico in search of an "abducted Mexican girl". A noble cause, no?

That is, until I realized who might be playing the girl...

(...Possible "spoiler" coming up...)

Sonia Sotomayor

¡Santa Maria!

The lack of details require speculation, but I'm just saying... the age is right, and she's one wise, Latina woman. She and Sylvester would look great together on the screen.

"Latina" is Mexican, isn't it?

Loose Change - Final Cut

The updated version of the video previously posted.

(Brief language somewhere around halfway through.)

Unnoticed Hypocrisy at the "You Lie" Speech

"Some of people's concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens. Such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple. [Rousing cheers, sustained applause]

There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false – the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.* ~Obama

*"You lie!" ~Representative Joe Wilson [Boos and faces of anger and shock, soon followed by days of controversy]


So, Obama calling out liars in politics and the private sector (multiple times) is met by cheers, but a congressman calling out a liar (once) is met by jeers?

Ah, Democracy!

In Honor and Memory of the Innocent

Do not take any of the facts presented at face value; investigate them, and decide for yourself what is truth, what is inconsistent, and what is indeterminable without further investigation.

I will not summarize this film, so if you want to know what it's about, click play.

Congressman Stands Up to Barack During Speech

"You lie!"

I saw this live, and Pelosi continued to stare at the congressman for several more minutes; she even pulled up a floor-plan of the house to find out who it was.

I think she was going to hire a hit-team.

Congressman Wilson (R-SC), the man who was brave enough to speak up against Imperator Obama, has since apologized. Wimp.

Addendum: Note Biden's sad, disappointed face at the end of the clip.

Outrage? Why? They're Just Showing Their True Colors

This is the flag that shall wave over the White House on September 20th.

If you don't recognize it, it is the flag of the People's Republic of China. You will note its color is red, which represents Communism. Communism and its offshoots are the exact opposite of Capitalism and the Free Market System. Simple politics; even a child of ten knows this.

The thought that this flag should fly over the White House is an outrage to some, but not to me. It is only right and fitting for a corporation to fly the flag of the country that owns it, and the United States federal government is no exception to that rule.

And why not? With the espousal by the administration of Communist views and policies, and the appointment of Communists to high offices, how shocking can our President's assent and concurrence to the flying of the Chinese flag be? Not to mention the fact that China owns a large portion of our debt, and their policy concerning the handling of that debt can either make or break the back of our economy.

China is among the hefty progenitors and employers of the White House's strongest held political ideology, which espouses the policies of totalitarianism, especially in the control of its population's growth, exposure, education, entertainment, politics, and nutrition; how can the Leader of the Free World reject a request from his political soul-mates to fly their Statist regime's flag?

I have no connection nor allegiance the White House, nor its occupants, nor its grounds; neither have I any to the the city which surrounds it, nor to its citizens, nor legislators.

I declare that the men occupying the houses of government in the District of Columbia do not represent my views or opinions, and are, in fact, illegitimately occupying said territory. They have all defied their oaths, and, indeed, hijacked the seats of government they hold. They are not held to the Constitution or any other law, by de facto, and have no legitimate claim to American government.

Nothing these hellions do can surprise me. They prove their intentions at every turn, showing themselves to be the oppressive tyrants we know they are. Flying this flag is just one more way they have shown their true colors. Why not openly declare their illegitimacy?

Go ahead, D.C., fly your flag. Make my day.

A Prayer for Our President

I don't know much about this man named James David Manning, but I found this video to be particularly good.

He gets rather crazy at the end,
"Hallelujah, Amen, and Boom-Shakalaka!"

Remember to pray for Barack "The Long-Legged Mack Daddy" Obama.
