MORE WAR AGAINST CHRISTIANITY Week of 2017/07/10

It seems that every day a new item appears in the media that has a notable effect on the supposedly guaranteed'freedom of religion' contained in the First Amendment to the Constitution.. The first, quite negative, was the statement by Senator, and former Presidential Candidate, Bernie Sanders, S-NY at a confirmation hearing that 'in his mind NO Christian should EVER be approved for government employment' (not an exact quote). If he really believes this, no surprise to me, perhaps it is because of his professed political philosophy of Socialism, an atheist style of government. He is registered as "Independent" but in the Senate he is welcomed to caucus with the Democrat minority. It is beyond my understand how and why he keeps being re-elected and it does not speak well of the mentality of those in his state, or perhaps there is, like some other places, massive vote fraud!

On the other hand, with great thanks to PRESDT, his nominated newest member of the Supreme Court, Neal Goresuch, R-CO, seems to be having a, beneficial to the Constitution, effect on his fellow justices. In a ruling just announced the court decided, 7 to 2, in favor of a Methodist Church school in Missouri that was denied by the Missouri bureau a grant of Federal funds for playground equipment and was upheld by a State court, the District Federal court, and the, possibly Tenth Circuit, Appellate Court.

This, on top of the Court ruling, unanimously, in favor of the PRESDT executive order establishing a 90 day suspension of travel from seven Muslim governed nations where the extremist sects are the most active or in charge. It should be noted that these are the same nations named by PRESBO to be prevented from having nationals come to the USA. The district courts in Hawaii and on the West Coast had declared the order to be "unconstitutional" and , in my opinion suspecting they were in error, denied a 'stay of execution' of their orders. They were upheld by the ninth circuit in San Francisco, not surprisingly, and again no stay was issued.

In more local cases, it has become known to me from a most reliable source with first hand knowledge, that in at least one case a teacher in a K-6 school is teaching Islam to her classes while it is not permitted to mention GOD, JESUS, or Bless You on the school grounds. Again from first hand informants as well as other sources, it is known that the same prohibitions have been issued in the Air Force and Army Academies. The situation in the Coast Guard, Marine and Naval Academies has not been made known to me as of this time.

In the meantime, the appointive staff, and probably employed staff, of the Federal Government became loaded with Muslims, even at the top levels, during the PRESBO Administration. Those not of the appointive staff cannot easily be terminated, as was the usual situation prior the 1933-34 when the 'civil service' laws were enacted be a massive Democrat majority in both houses followed by an eager enactment by a Socialist minded FDR. In my mind, the whole play was to ensure the future sympathetic to Socialism and anti-Christian mid-set on the part of the bureaucracy into the foreseeable future.

Not to mention the uncounted numbers of Christians of various denominations that have been tortured, burned alive, beheaded brutally, and otherwise disposed of by the most violent of the Islamic sects like Wahabee, ISIS, and those in other radical nations, including Iran. In the latter case it should be remembered that it was PRESJEC (James Earl (peanut farmer) Carter who successfully pursued a course of action to depose the far more secular minded and friendly to the USA "Shah of Iran" resulting in the present situation where the 'president' is merely a puppet to the Imams and Mullahs who actually are ruling.

Of course, there are many more 'moderate', followers of Islam who abhor the extremes of the radicals, but because of the absolute death threat for speaking out are kept in the shadows. They may very well be more deserving of consideration, if not outright pity, because of their situation. Some of those happen to be in my circle of acquaintances and for what is considered their protection the subject is not mentioned by me in their presence.

Be that as it may, we of the Christian Faith MUST be willing to stand up, speak up, and be counted as the USA was founded as a Christian Nation and to remain free it MUST stay that way. There is hope!!

VIEW: 17-27: Constitutional Restoration

By Bob McDowell (Born Neil Carson) Number 17-27

CONSTITUTIONAL RESTORATION Week of 2017/07/02

Now that we have observed and celebrated the establishment of our Nation on July 4, 1776 by a written "Declaration of Independence" it seems proper to look at what happened a full twelve years later.

Another convention was called for the modification of the then 'law of the land', the State representatives had been meeting in the same building in Philadelphia to propose 'amendments' to be ratified by the still thirteen states. Make a note of this when approached by proposals for a "Section 5 Convention" to 'only' propose amendments to the Constitution for certain particular purposes.

Out of that convention came a document titled: "The Constitution of the United States of America".

In other words the convention decided to abandon the original law and write an entirely new document that was to become the established "law of the land" for the USA. The preamble to the Constitution is but one paragraph long with high principles stated. It reads: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America".

The document was signed by the participants on September 17, 1787 and ratified by the required 9 states on June 21, 1788. Three states refused to ratify until the "Bill of Rights", or first 10 amendments, were added. Two more amendments demanded were added later, being ratified on February 7, 1795 and June 15, 1804. It should be noted that there were only three more amendments added until the administration of Woodrow Wilson in 1913 when two more were added in one year. Both have served to reduce the freedoms guaranteed by the original Constitution. We have been told that President Wilson had suffered a debilitating stroke and affairs were handled by his 'chief of staff' an individual believed by many to have been an avowed Socialist. Now there are 28, with one having been repealed.

Amendment XVI (sixteen) AUTHORIZED Congress to 'lay and collect taxes on incomes', while XVII (seventeen) changed the selection of Senators from the State Government to the present 'popular election'. In my opinion, both of these onerous and detrimental amendments should be repealed!!! It seems that since that time there has been a continual quest to attack the individual freedoms that were originally guaranteed by the Constitution, and this quest has become much more strong and aggressive since the four administrations of F. D. Roosevelt beginning in 1933. His staff were just as aggressive in ignoring the Constitution as those of the most recent PRESBO Administration in my observation while living, and serving in military, through them.

This thrust on the part of followers of Socialistic government has been, and still is, showing up in the affairs of the two major political parties. It seems to me that the officials and elected office holders of the Democrat party are pretty much oriented that way. They actually allowed a 'non-Democrat', Bernie Sanders, to be a nominee for President last year. He is in the Senate as a "Socialist" or independent but meets with the Democrat Caucus. The totally nasty and false statements against their opposition sounds like typical Socialist or Communist followers around the World.

Meanwhile on the 'other side of the isle' there have been individuals of that persuasion who have made inroads into positions of power, and elective office, mascarading and registering in the Republican Party. Often, it appears, this is easily accomplished when no one else of a Constitutional mind-set is willing to step forward to act. Many claim that reticence is because "politics is such a dirty business', but that is often due to the misdirection of media personnel. My experience, begun purely by accident in 1968, has been that it is rewarding, very informative, and somewhat fun.

If we are to save this REPUBLIC and restore our freedoms, younger Constitutional minded people must act!! The beginning position is to attend the various political 'clubs' and the Precinct Caucuses, if and when they are held. Here the Republican precinct caucuses are in winter of odd numbered and presidential election years. That is where it all really begins!

By Bob McDowell (Born Neil Carson) Number 17-26

HAPPY 246^th USA Week of 2017/06/26

Yes, it has been a full 246 years since a group of men, representing the thirteen 'colonies' in the Continent of North America had been meeting in Philadelphia for some time. The reason for this meeting was to reach a decision on the future course of action in dealing with the British 'Kingdom' and the nefarious treatment they had been subjected to at the hands of the King and his military and commerce. The final decision was reached on July 2, 1776 and signed, we have been told, on July 4, when it was announced on the steps of the building by one of those attending.

The result of this meeting was titled: "The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America". In my opinion, as well as in many individuals earlier in the ensuing years, the resulting document remains the most dignified, clear, and factual written notice of dissolution of ties between one group of people and their rulers in the history of the world. These men were, again in my opinion, truly inspired by GOD, and must have been to have prepared and UNANIMOUSLY agreed to the wording.

Those stalwart gentlemen knew that by affixing each of their signatures to the document they were going to be declared guilty of treason and subjected to the most serious penalties, including death, should the 'parent nation' succeed in capturing them. The final sentence of the Declaration reads: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. Indeed, some lost their lives in the ensuing 'invasion' by British and hired mercenary military forces, most lost their homes to fire and explosion, some watched family killed by the brutal troops.

Of course, given the slow pace of messages of the time, it was several months before the King received his copy of the Declaration and, probably, 'blew a fuse' ordering an all out war to 'put down the insurrection'. Most of us who are older than 50 years probably have learned in school about the so-called "Revolutionary War" of several years duration, a situation reportedly not true today.

It should more properly be titled the "War for Independence" in my opinion. The forces of the King were fed and equipped to the best limits available at the time while the men in the "Continental Army" were fighting with their own personally owned weapons and clothed mostly with their own clothes, subsisting on whatever would be available in the field. We all know of the successful result of this defense of our Independence, mostly due to the troops dedication and the Will of God changing weather in a number of instances to assure success on the part of the defenders.

So, each year we have set aside July 4 as the observance of the creation of what became the greatest, most prosperous, and most freedom for citizens nation in the history of the World. It has been looked to by oppressed people all over the World as a goal to become part of. And yet, there are still misguided or evil people elsewhere, as well has right here, who would do anything to bring down our form of government and bring us back to the slavery existent elsewhere and that was the rule before Independence.

Unfortunately, individuals of that mind set seem to have infiltrated the oldest existing political party, Democrat, and have made inroads into leadership in the now in the majority in Washington, the Republican Party. It should be remembered that the Republican Party was not founded until the early 1850s and was for the sole purpose of the abolition of the onerous practice of Slavery. It fielded an unsuccessful Presidential candidate in the 1956 election and was victorious in the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln.

If we are to reclaim our lost freedoms and restore our world prominence, we MUST be welling to put forth the efforts exemplified by those signing the Declaration. We must be willing to rise up in indignation over the 'mean-mouthed' speaking of those in Party leadership as well as in the well known C/S mentality of the majority of those in the news (?) media and entertainment industry. One way to make our opinions and objections known, and felt, it to simply not patronize those appearing or the businesses who are their sponsors. A substantial reduction in popularity and thus finances would certainly be enough to claim their attention, or if not render them irrelevent. Happy Birthday USA!!!

VIEW: 17-25: TRIBAL (NATION) EXCESSES

VIEW FROM HERE

By Bob McDowell (Born Neil Carson) Number 17-25

TRIBAL (NATION) EXCESSES Week of 2017/06/19

A recent news story in the daily paper (print) stated that the Osage 'Nation' Tribe had won a round in their charges against the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) regarding the 'invasion' of their tribal allotment lands, now labeled Osage County, by wind energy operators. Of course, the space limitations on the writer would not allow a complete explanation of the situation, if said writer had taken the time and effort to research all aspects.

If my understanding of the situation is correct, the Tribe was allocated the land by the officials then in charge in Washington, back in the first half of the nineteenth century, or early 1800s. When the land ownership was dispersed to tribal members the minerals were withheld by the Tribe. Tribal 'Nation' Government officials have been, with reason it would appear, objecting to the construction of the 'windmill' generating towers requiring excavation for the foundations with the result that minerals, in the form of rock, were removed without compensation for the 'mining'.

At this point, it should be remembered that the discovery of oil in 'The Osage' resulted in the creation of a number of multi-millionaires among those on the tribal rolls. So far, my sympathies lie with the Osage as they have been mistreated, but have come out well. Unfortunately, far too many of those members were unable to handle their new found prosperity and fell into wastefulness and excesses, including abuse of alcohol. Much of that can be blamed on the corruption and/or ineptitude of the elected and hired officials of the time, a situation that has not, it appears, been corrected even today.

However, it appears that today the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction as has been shown in recent years where the BIA has imposed regulations deemed favorable to the Tribes to the detriment of individuals, particularly children who are taken from biological parents, for cause, and placed with Foster Parents. They then attach with them and later tribal government personnel object to the adoption, or even continuing foster care, of the children. This under the guise of the children not receiving exposure and education into the historical ways of the Tribe. Wayward judges seem to have their minds swayed or are fearful of criticism, by such as the ACLU, and render very questionable decisions which then serve to have a most detrimental effect on the children, both emotional and physical.

It appears that those actions to gain control of the children are, in many cases, based solely on the desire to obtain Federal funding and the children receive little or no benefit therefrom. There have been several such instances in recent years that have received national coverage. In one such case, decided here in Oklahoma, the poor child was subjected to months of emotional upset by being forcibly removed from the foster parents, to whom she had attached, and placed with strangers. At that time, my feelings were sympathetic to the 'family' of the child and foster parents seeing to adopt her permanently and give her their name.

More recently such a situation as this has become much more personal. My granddaughter in Colorado has been foster parenting for over three years to two part-Indian children, brother and sister, who were taken from their biological mother, for cause, in Pueblo County. Having different biological fathers their tribal connections are not the same and are very remote as at least one of the parents is in prison. For at least two years she has been attempting, with support of the County, to adopt them so that their last names will be the same as hers, to make things easier in school and elsewhere. She even is forced to receive court permission to bring them to Oklahoma to see 'grandpa', to whom they have strongly attached. The last time, we took them to Cherokee Village to see that tribal history which they loved.

They are closely attached to each other, but a very small tribe in Washington State has mounted a legal objection, but if successful the girl would have no tribal benefits, they would be separated and probably not be in as comfortable surroundings. She has had no support from her own Congressman there in Jefferson County and has encountered substantial personal expense in pursuing the case. It seems to me that there needs to be some compassion and common sense in these cases, 'for the children'.

VIEW: WW IV Continues

VIEW FROM HERE
By Bob McDowell (Born Neil Carson) Number 17-24
WW IV CONTINUES Week of 2017/06/12
On June 2 news came out that there had been a 'tragedy in London' with 'several killed
and more wounded by a truck on 'London Bridge'. The surprise to me was that the scene was
'London Bridge' since it was my understanding for many years that said bridge had been
disassembled stone for stone and rebuilt at Lake Havasu, AZ. It turns out that Londoners had
been done a favor since a new 'London Bridge' had been built on the same location.
For the next at least two days the 'news' channels carried nothing else except repeats
of the same series of video and narrative sets to outtake the regular shows. To my disgust it
was quite some time before said channels would admit statements that it was "terrorism", with
most stating that it had not been determined. Then came the reports that another vehicle had
been following the truck and several men had jumped out with knives and began slicing the
throats of people, especially young women with at least six killed and more than a dozen
wounded. Finally came the report from a representative of the London police stating it was a
terrorist attack. Much later were reports that the perpetrators were shouting 'for Allah' and
then a claim from ISIS of responsibility.
This, of course, followed by a few days a truck bombing outside an arena north of
London with a larger number of young people killed. The question comes to mind of 'When will
the government drop the PC mask and proclaim what anyone with an ounce of common sense and
information knew that Islamic violent extremists had declared War on the whole Western
civilization. It has been pretty well documented that the Islam 'holy book' orders its
followers to operate 'jihad' and 'take over the World'. That makes it a World War, that I
consider WW IV because the so-called 'cold war' to me was WW III.
Most of the World nation leaders seem terrified to label this what has been just
described, to their own danger. They, including the USA, have limited the law enforcement and
defense facilities to investigation and observation of the potential terrorists. Strikes
against the heart of the ISIS and other centers have been limited or non-existent so far, that
is until the new PRESDT Administration allowed our forces to utilize the MOAB (Mother Of All
Bombs) to be used in Afghanistan against a small area of fighter tunnels, with it appeared
substantial success.
The first violent attack in this "declared by them but not by us" war occurred during
the PRESWJC Administration in 1996 on February 26 when a truck bomb was detonated in the
basement garage of one of the WTC 'twin towers'. This, fortunately, did not bring down the
building and there were limited casualties, but one is too many. It should be remembered that
for some years leaders, both political and cleric, in Iran had declared 'Holy War' on the West,
particularly 'That Satan, the US'. Most thinking people would have taken that as a ligitimant
war declaration and responded in kind, but not the sleepers here and in Europe.
Since then we all have been continually infiltrated with secret combatants designated
'refugees' who have arrived and promptly gathered in close enclaves. In some locations these
have become closed to local control and introduced Sharia Law and from which terrorists have
received training and orders to carry out their brutal actions, mostly against innocent
civilians. Those people have no intention to integrate into the existing society and are here
to conquer and install their own brutal form of Islamic laws and customs.
Finally, PRESDT has stood up and called it what it is and we hope it is not now too
little or too late. He needs our support to root out the disloyal office holders and employees
left over from the previous several administrations. We need to voice our support for his
efforts to him and the members of Congress and State Legislations, loudly!! To paraphrase the
late Gen. G. Patton: 'You do not win wars by dying for your country but by making that other
poor fool die for his country'. (He used his usual stronger words).
It seems it is up to us to make the foolish ones running things that we mean business
and vote out those who won't shape up. Congress, in particular, is shirking its duty to
IMPEACH those in the judiciary who rule according to their own bias or 'foreign law' rather
than the Constitution which is supposed to be the "Law of the Land".

THE CONSERVATIVE VIEW

BY RUSSELL TURNER

TUTTLE DID IT

        Recently I was watching one of the old MASH episodes that had some parallels to today's main stream news. The theme of the episode was based upon the imaginary childhood friend of the main character, Hawkeye Pierce, who was portrayed by actor Alan Alda. During the episode Hawkeye told about his imaginary friend, he called his imaginary friend Tuttle. Whenever he did something wrong he would always blame Tuttle. If he was asked who broke the lamp or who wet the bed the answer was always Tuttle did it. While I agree that the old MASH show is fiction and for entertainment purposes, it reminds me of the fixation the mainstream media seems to have about Russians.

        The left-wingers and the mainstream media are all cut from the same cloth, I guess they have been indoctrinated as liberals and accept that belief as gospel. The defeat of Hillary Clinton last fall absolutely shook them to the core. Instead of accepting the fact that Clinton was a poor candidate and her philosophies were diametrically opposed to the founding of this nation, all they can do is blame the Russians for her defeat. Ever since the election the left has attacked president Trump and made countless accusations of collusion between people in his campaign staff and the Russian government; so far all of the allegations are just that, nothing has been proven. As far as I am concerned the left are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites, during the 2012 election cycle the left and the media mocked and made fun of Mitt Romney for saying that the Russians were a problem now the Russians are all they can talk about. Where was their outrage when then-president Obama was caught on an open mike telling an official from the Russian government to tell Vladimir Putin that he would have more flexibility on nuclear negotiations after he was re-elected. Another example was when president Obama used taxpayer money and resources in an attempt to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel, the silence of the media spoke volumes. When Hillary Clinton arranged the sale of 20% of America's uranium supply to the Russians the main stream media evidently didn't even consider it news worthy.

        Now the media is seeing Russians behind every tree and they are trying to take down a president with unfounded accusations. The left (which include the main stream media) are becoming like a bunch of pickpockets, they are trying to distract the American people while they attempt to disrupt the president's agenda. There has been hard evidence of Russian collusion with US officials, it just happens to have occurred during the Obama presidency.

        Imaginary childhood friends are a way for children to cope with growing up, but eventually they do grow up and no longer need their imaginary friend. The left needs to grow up and start taking responsibility for their shortcomings and stop blaming the Russians for everything. The American people are starting to get a can full of this constant drumbeat about the Russians and the attempt to sway public opinion with nothing more than a witch hunt. Maybe the mainstream media would sound more credible if they would just say that Tuttle did it.
