Solitude



Solitude

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from a voicing care.

Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all of your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectar-ed wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.

Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

The Lane

The Lane


There is a lane, which has no turning
Just ahead of me always.

There is a lane, which has no turning,
I've searched for it for days and days.

I've walked along the path of life,
Looking for this lovely lane,

But all I've found are curves and turns
And walks across the lonely plain.

If I could find this lane,
They say that has no turning,

Then perhaps I could lay to rest,
This cold and fearful yearning.

They say that if down this lane,
With your love you take a stroll.

Then your life forever changes,
And never again shall you be cold.

What is Christmas


Christmas… What is Christmas? I’ve heard a lot of things… It’s about giving….It’s about family…It’s about receiving…. It’s about forgiving… It’s about Santa Claus…. And a Sleigh full of toys, for the children the world over….

Sounds pretty good… Oh yea… it’s somebody’s birthday…. Our Lord Jesus Christ…

Who was this man, who’s birth we celebrate every year… Year after year for centuries???

A singular man who impacted history, like no other man ever…. To the point, we celebrate the winter solace, as the beginning mark for the bleak winter ahead…. Around this man’s birthday…. 

Who was this man? Well I stand with Saint Peter and say, he is the Son of the Living God….The God, who made the heavens and the earth….

So Christmas is the time we mark, as the time “The Christ” was born…. The, without dispute, most important date in man’s history.

And so we should indeed, celebrate Christmas, but we should do so in humility…. Considering the gift Christ is to the world, redemption...

We have gotten carried away with ourselves, and our own ideas, clinging to forgotten traditions, and distorting them beyond recognition, to somehow fit our own idea of what Christmas is suppose to be…

Whoooaa…. Wait just a minute there…

It wasn’t your idea…. It was the idea of the Almighty God…. It was God’s idea to come and walk among us… and God’s alone…. 

Bring this idea into your hearts and homes and the ideas of giving, of family, of receiving, of forgiving… will begin to take hold, and you will find comfort.

The Idea of Santa Claus comes from several traditions; (most of which served the same purpose), the one I grew up with was Saint Nicholas.... The idea is to introduce and create a desire in the child to search for and seek out the truth… Santa Claus is very much like Christ… He is always there; he knows all about you, he comes in the bleak of winter spreading joy and good cheer, all in reference to the birth of the Christ…

Through critical thinking on the part of the child, we realize that Mom and Dad are Santa Claus… and this tradition of searching for the truth, of critical thinking continues… serving a man his entire life. And any search for truth will lead to Christ.

So this Christmas, take a lesson from Charlie Brown, read the gospels for yourselves (Luke & Matthew), and return to the true meaning of Christmas this year… And the gift Christmas (Christ) truly is…..

And…ahhhh….. don’t buy so damn much junk! ;)

Indeed a Time to rejoice

Merry Christmas

My Fellow Patriots,




My fellow patriots,
I think we have reached a point where the game has changed. We are so tangled in the tar baby we are failing to see the truth. We are no longer a political movement, we are enemies of the state. We are the problem… The question is…? Are we Christians? Because that’s what it’s going to come down to. Are you a Christian? For I assure you, we live in Biblical times.
I fail to see why you are timid… Does not Christ stand before you, sword drawn in your defense…? Where is your sword? Is it not sharp? Is it not tempered? Are you not ready for battle? (In the 1660’s, an Englishman caught with a failed pistol was subject to forty lashes). It’s your responsibility to keep your sword sharp and your gun loaded and yourself ready for battle.
Again… Why are you timid? If you take an honest look at the evidence presented… It all points to God… to Christ. All the sciences point to a creation. Geology, Biology (including DNA research), Astronomy, Cosmology and even Quantum Physics. Even genealogy leads us to Mount Ararat and a hand full of people.  
The second law of Thermo-dynamics dictates a creation. Educate yourselves, sharpen your sword, temper the steel, and prepare for battle, for the enemy lurks just over the hill. 
The only thing that will save America now… Is a full blown revival. As was in the 1830's, when the Bible became widely read in this country. Instead of trying to sell your own damn book, trying to have your own say… Promote the Bible, read the Bible…

Might I suggest…. You read it like a novel… accept the premise laid out in chapter one, for indeed it is a story, with a beginning, a middle and an end. It is a story of triumph and despair, of sex and barbarism, of being lost… and being save.
If you like Science Fiction… you’ll like the Bible… If you like Fantasy…you’ll like the Bible… If you like Murder and Mayhem…you’ll like the Bible…and we Christians know it’s all true…
So… if you are indeed Christians, might I suggest, turning off your television, put down your Twitter and Facebook, and come out from your air-conditioned homes and churches, and into the streets, make yourselves known to one another, Baptists and Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherans, if we are Christian, let us gather and know one another. But above all, make yourself known to God. Let the world know…you are not ashamed of the Almighty…  For a man must be diligent in watching the walls of his house, lest a strong man comes in the night and carries it all away.
Within the tar-baby, you’re thinking the strong man’s in Washington… He’s not, he’s right outside your walls… Realize… there is no reason, you are wrestling a tar-baby, barking dawgs don’t bite. That’s why they keep you barking…
If you strip away the details… Then you know what I say is true… Remember, ‘the devil is in the details’… and the Emperor is Naked as a Jay-Bird, and Bier Rabbit is tangled in the Tar-Baby, and Bier Fox and Bier Bear are fixing to eat him up.
Wake up, free yourselves of the Tar-Baby, expose the naked Emperor and scatter the Fox and Bear. Uncle Remus was a wise old feller.
Reflect on your parents and grandparents, for this is what I am doing, and seeing things as they are. And not as I am being told.
When I was a young feller, about twenty, I asked my father about church, and did he really believe all that stuff… cause none of it makes any sense with what they’re teaching in the schools… (?) and he said… “I hope you live long enough son… cause you’ll find it’s the only thing that does makes sense.” And damned if I didn’t live long enough, and damned if he wasn’t right. It is indeed, the only thing that makes any sense. And now… if you look hard enough… you’ll find the sciences are all telling us the same thing. It happened, just like the Bible says. Facts are facts, they don't admit it, they haven't in years....But facts are facts.

“Life is real! Life earnest!
          And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
          Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
          Is our destined end or way.
But to Act, that each tomorrow,
          Finds us farther than today.
Art is long, and time is fleeting
          And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave. 
In the World’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
          Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no future, howe’er pleasant!
          Let the dead past, bury its dead!
Act – act in the living present!
          Heart within, and God o’er head.!
Lives of great men all remind us
          We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave footprints in the sands of time.
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
          A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again…
          Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
          Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor, and to wait…

In His Own Image

I would like you to go through a little exercise with you. An exercise in thinking…

I want you to clear your mind… No politics, no religion, no agenda, clear your mind… let yourself see what's there, and what’s actually going on… No more, just see what’s there…
This first is no more than a light box, it is covered with sand… sand… There is an intelligent being moving this sand about… With design to entertain, to tell a story, and least I forget, the show off the skills of the artist… But… remember, it is sand atop a light box.
And this second one… Let’s just say, if you don’t get it…you’re not going to.
And He created them in His own image, male and female He created them…

Noah and the Culture


Any of you who actually follow me and have a look at what I put up on Twitter, know that I put up a lot of foreign entertainers.  From Japan, Russia, France, Venezuela, ect… Well… I’m going to try and explain why. But foremost, let it be said in the beginning, it’s because I like them, as, entertainers.

Stay with me here… Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Didn't say that about his kids and their wives… Now. Don’t go to an extreme, that’s not to say they were bad people, or evil people, but they weren't Noah, Noah got it. They built the Ark at Noah’s direction. They may very well have thought Noah was nuts… Also keep in mind, there was quite a civilization going on prior to the flood. One ‘the kids’ may have been getting along in fairly well. As many of us do today. People are people. (We are talking educated people, they built a boat 500 ft. X 75 ft. X 30 ft.)

So when the rains came sure enough, and it was all washed away… All of it!  When they came out of the Ark, it was a holy mess, (so to speak) indeed. It was muddy, it was muggy, foggy, and with all the evaporation going on, it was cold. There were no trees, there was only rock, mud and a bit of fresh vegetation. You know what else there was a lot of, resentment. At God! They (the kids) knew God was real now for sure… and they had just seen what he had done. They were pissed!

But kept in mind, they were still educated, they knew how to get things done, and how to do them. Well as we all know, life can be pressing, and so things have to get done.  And (very important), they didn't have 'nothing,' they had the Ark. God had given them the Ark. There it was, with all its woods, metals, stores and pottery.  

So… What did Noah’s kids tell their kids…? Same as we do today, what they knew… They told the stories of the Golden Age, and how it sank beneath the waves. How God wiped it all away, and these stories may have been told with a certain amount of resentment. These stories are the source of all the mythologies, which tend to be similar in there content....  
This is why they built the Tower of Babble. As an act of defiance… The rebellion of a child. This was the first post flood culture, the ‘rebellion of a child.’ And all of one family, (?) of one tongue and culture, just like it was before the flood, and was ripe pickings for Satan, and who would soon destroy themselves.



So God dispersed them by confusing there language... But he didn't take their knowledge, they still knew, what they knew. This is where Egypt, the Inca’s, the Mayan’s, the Celtics, China’s first dynasty, ect… This is why all ancient cultures start with the story of a flood. You need to think about this… All that crap about evolution and deep time is just that…Crap (modern gods), and they are teaching it to your kids, and testing them on it. It’s an act of rebellion, of resentment… Ever notice how there is a certain amount of resentment in these people… its inherent. They seem to want to worship anything but God…

Keep in mind how big and how small it all seems to be. For it is just as small under a microscope as it is big in the telescope.  God created it… it belongs to Him… it sits on His coffee table… It seems to reason, He’s not going to be on your side, seems to me the thing to do, is be on His side…

Back to the videos… When I was a kid… Our family would go camping, to places like Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, ect… As we traveled the road, we went through a lot of little towns. They all were pretty much alike, insomuch as they all had gas stations, motels, restaurants, yet at the same time, each town was its own place, with its own flavor.

Whereas today, they are all of the same flavor, same restaurants, same motels, same gas stations… “Well if there isn't a McDonald’s, keep going,” is heard often… I’m sure… Have we lost our flavor?

If you notice in the videos I put up… it seems to be happening the world over. When I was young, when we talked about culture, we spoke of what the people ate, what they wore, their music, their dances… Get my point…

There are McDonald’s all over the world… You can get a coke most anywhere… and look at the entertainment… Hummm…  Are we losing our flavor as a world?  For Christ said.... "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men." 
Satan has been working very hard since the flood to get us all under one roof… Keep in mind, Satan can only be in one place at a time. So as long as we are scattered, he can’t control us all… “The New World Order,” ring a bell. Have you read ‘1984’ yet? ‘Animal Farm?’

The Environmental Disaster You’ve Never Heard Of


The fighter jets and military planes that blast into the skies each day above Albuquerque’s Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) consume millions of gallons of jet fuel each year. In order to serve this fleet, the Air Force stores enormous amounts of fuel and distributes it throughout the base via a network of tanks, pipes and pumps. In the early 1950s, the base replaced leaking tanks and aging pipelines with a new fuels facility it promised would modernize and make more safe the handling and distribution of jet fuel. The facility received its first trainload of jet fuel and aviation gas in 1953. Almost immediately, and for the next 45 years, it has leaked jet fuel into the surrounding soil.
The “leak” continued, undetected, until 1992 when workers observed a huge surface plume in the soil surrounding the fuel facility. The Air Force largely ignored requests by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to investigate the plume’s source and extent and instead, in 1994, gave itself a waiver from conducting military-mandated tests of the facility pipeline. Under pressure from the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), the Air Force finally conducted pressure tests of the pipelines in 1999. They failed spectacularly. The added pressure blew massive holes in the pipeline. The test appeared to prove the pipes were leaking. In a comic/tragic, nothing-to-see-here moment in May 2000, Mark Holmes, a civilian project manager for Kirtland’s environmental unit, told the Albuquerque Journal that everything was fine: The 100,000 gallons of missing fuel could be explained by a simple accounting error. NMED staffer Dennis McQuillan, however, told the Journalthat if it were a 100,000 gallon spill, it “would be a big spill, one of the biggest” in state history.
For comparison's sake, the KAFB spill is larger than the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill, which dumped more than 12 million gallons of crude oil into Alaska’s Prince William Sound, killing an estimated quarter-million seabirds, 3,000 otters, hundreds of harbor seals and bald eagles and nearly two dozen killer whales.
They were both wrong. In 2006 an Air Force contractor drilled an exploratory well in southeast Albuquerque’s Bullhead Park, just outside the base's northern boundary. He found four feet of jet fuel floating on top of the aquifer. Additional monitoring wells found a plume of jet fuel slithering northeast from the original spill location and well beyond the northern boundary of the base. Kirtland estimated the plume at between one and two million gallons, but NMED raised that estimate to eight million gallons. Two years later, with more monitoring and evidence of the true scale of the spill, NMED revised the estimate dramatically to 24 million gallons, an amount 240 times larger than the 2000 estimate.

The KAFB jet fuel spill—the Air Force calls it a “leak”—is the largest toxic contamination of an aquifer in US history, and it could be twice the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster.
The KAFB jet fuel spill—the Air Force calls it a “leak”—is the largest toxic contamination of an aquifer in US history, and it could be twice the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster. And that’s bad enough, but it’s the good news compared to what follows.
And that’s bad enough, but it’s the good news compared to what follows.
Unlike the crude oil in the Exxon Valdez disaster, jet fuel and aviation gas contain a variety of toxic chemical compounds, including benzene, toluene and various aliphatic hydrocarbons, and these are all found in the plume—in varying concentrations—at every depth. Among the toxic chemicals contaminating the aquifer, one poses the most serious threat to both human health and the challenge of remediation: ethylene dibromide or EDB.
The EPA banned the commercial and industrial use of ethylene dibromide more than 40 years ago. Prior to its ban, the US produced 300 million pounds of EDB annually, with most used as an additive in leaded gasoline. Every gallon of aviation gas included enough EDB to contaminate millions of gallons of drinking water. In addition, 20 million pounds of EDB was used each year as an agricultural fumigant. Nearly 40 crops were routinely sprayed with EDB. Farmworkers—often with little or no protective equipment—fumigated fruit and citrus trees. They sprayed it on stored grain and the milling equipment that made the bread that stocked grocery store shelves. They saturated soil with EDB after harvests.
Among the toxic chemicals contaminating the aquifer, one poses the most serious threat to both human health and the challenge of remediation: ethylene dibromide or EDB. ... The HERP index, a measure that translates cancer risks in rats to humans, ranks EDB as the most dangerous rodent carcinogen to human health.
When EDB is released into soils, it almost always makes its way into groundwater. It is highly soluble and stable and persists in soils and underground water. It’s hard to find and even harder (and more expensive) to get out. By the early 1970s, concerns about EDB’s risk to human health surfaced after laboratory tests of rodents identified it as a potent carcinogen and mutagen.
In 1973 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued regulations that led to the reduced use of leaded gasoline—and thus EDB—but the agency continued to allow agricultural use of EDB. The National Cancer Institute first issued a notice on EDB in 1975, reporting that it induced cancer in laboratory animals. Following that warning, EPA conducted a six-year review, culminating in September 1983 when it suspended all agricultural uses of EDB pending further scientific study. Laboratory tests quickly confirmed previous reports that EDB caused cancer and reproductive disorders in laboratory animals. Meanwhile high concentrations of EDB were found in drinking water in California, Florida, Hawaii and Georgia. The EPA issued an emergency ban on all agricultural use of EDB in February 1984.
The agency determined the maximum safe level of EDB in drinking water—the level at which no adverse effects would likely occur—is zero. In other words, the EPA considers no amount of EDB in drinking water safe for human health. Despite EPA standards, NMED permits EDB in drinking water at levels at or below 50 parts per trillion (ppt).
In the wake of the ban, more studies examined EDB's effect on animals. In some laboratory animals, EDB is a reproductive toxin. It inhibits the ability of rats, rams and bulls to produce sperm, and it interrupts the fertility of fowl. It binds itself to DNA and rewrites genetic information causing mutation. It is a potent carcinogen in rats and mice. When exposed to skin, it produces widespread lesions and tumors; when given orally, tumors develop in the stomach and lungs. Inhalation results in tumors in the nasal cavity and circulatory system.
Current estimates suggest a plume of EDB-contaminated groundwater 1,000 feet wide and more than a mile long is moving northeast from the base; according to a 2009 KAFB memo, it's advancing as much as 385 feet per year. Most of that plume—80 percent of which is now beyond the boundary of the base—is headed directly for the Ridgecrest neighborhood.
Untold thousands of laboratory animals were killed by exposure to EDB; this, in order to show that EDB is fatal in high doses while low-level longterm exposure causes renal and liver failure, cancer and mutation. Its effect on humans is more difficult to determine. The HERP index, a measure that translates cancer risks in rats to humans, ranks EDB as the most dangerous rodent carcinogen to human health. Toxicologists differ on whether the data on human mortality to EDB is statistically significant.
A 1990 study by the California Department of Health Services found that citrus workers “had essentially a 100 percent chance of contracting cancer.” A 1984 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported on deaths of two agricultural workers: One worker died of liver failure 12 hours after collapsing while cleaning inside an empty tank, found later to contain EDB residues; another worker died of renal failure 64 hours after trying to rescue the first worker. A 1980 mortality study of 161 workers employed at two EDB manufacturing plants—including one owned by Dow Chemical—identified a pattern of malignancies and exposure fatalities among workers, but also concluded mortality was lower than expected given human risk assumed by animal studies. In other words, EDB causes fatal renal and liver failure in high doses, and it's a human carcinogen in low-level, longterm exposure, but not at a rate greater than statistically expected.
NMED Environmental Health Division Director Tom Blaine ... [assured] attendees of a public meeting that KAFB will absolutely “remediate the site. This isn’t our first rodeo.” But there’s little strategy or past action to justify this confidence.
However, these studies were enough to convince the EPA to act. The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 required that the EPA determine safe levels of various chemical contaminants in drinking water. The agency determined the maximum safe level of EDB in drinking water—the level at which no adverse effects would likely occur—is zero. In other words, the EPA considers no amount of EDB in drinking water safe for human health. Despite EPA standards, NMED permits EDB in drinking water at levels at or below 50 parts per trillion (ppt). The most recent data from KAFB’s plume-monitoring wells find EDB concentrations in shallow wells on the base at concentrations of 240,000 ppt, a concentration nearly 5,000 times greater than the 50 ppt standard. Monitoring wells on and off base have found EDB in shallow, intermediate and deep wells at all depths in concentrations significantly higher than NMED’s standard.
The presence of EDB in the plume at such alarming concentrations reveals two inconvenient facts for the Air Force. First, it has made it more difficult for Kirtland to minimize the significance of the spill. At a public meeting last week, KAFB Colonel Jeff Lanning admitted that “fuel has been leaking for a long time,” and since the Air Force discontinued use of leaded aviation gas in 1975, the presence of EDB suggests the spill began “possibly as early as the 1950s.” Current estimates suggest a plume of EDB-contaminated groundwater 1,000 feet wide and more than a mile long is moving northeast from the base; according to a 2009 KAFB memo, it's advancing as much as 385 feet per year. Most of that plume—80 percent of which is now beyond the boundary of the base—is headed directly for the Ridgecrest neighborhood. The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority operates a series of wells in the Ridgecrest area that pump so much water for the city that they produce a cone of depression that acts like a straw, sucking the plume ever closer.
Second, the chemical properties of EDB make it as elusive as it is dangerous. Its solubility means that it dissolves easily in water and thus separates from aviation gas and quickly contaminates aqueous systems like underground aquifers. Its chemical stability means that it doesn’t easily biodegrade. Figuring out how much aviation gas KAFB spilled and how much EDB is in the aquifer is therefore important information. But the Air Force doesn’t really seem to care. When asked at a community meeting how much jet fuel spilled, Lanning dismissed the question. “When my kid spills Kool-Aid on the carpet, I’m less concerned about how much he spilled than I am about how to get it cleaned up.” Lanning’s glib dismissal of the size of the plume might reflect less a folksy charm and more a calculated public relations stance. If KAFB can take the focus off the spill's size, it can be represented as a simple remediation project rather than an environmental disaster. And so the Air Force distributes maps of the plume at public meetings—maps that confidently depict EDB far from municipal well fields. But decades after the spill, the Air Force has yet to model the hydraulic properties of the aquifer. And so these maps—overconfidently representing a reality we can't know—are more reassuring fiction than sound hydrological science. If in the decades EDB lurked in the aquifer, it migrated into existing drinking water wells, we wouldn’t know. There is no medical test to determine human exposure and none of the drinking water wells have the technical capacity to meaningfully measure levels of EDB.
None of this seems to concern NMED. The same staffer who called the possible 100,000 gallon spill in 2000 “one of the biggest spills” ever now calls the 24 million gallon spill just another plume. “There are plumes in Roswell, Las Cruces, all over the state. It takes years to clean these things up, but we have clean, closed sites [in New Mexico].” NMED Environmental Health Division Director Tom Blaine echoed McQuillan’s certainty, assuring attendees of a public meeting that KAFB will absolutely “remediate the site. This isn’t our first rodeo.” But there’s little strategy or past action to justify this confidence. There is no plan in place to remove EDB from the aquifer. And in the 60 years since it first spilled jet fuel into Albuquerque’s aquifer, KAFB has yet to remove and treat a single gallon of contaminated groundwater. Meanwhile, as Dave McCoy, executive director of the environmental watchdog group Citizen Action New Mexico told me, the plume keeps moving and “it’s headed directly for you.”

What to say?



What am I suppose to say… I write, I tell you… And it continues to crumble around you. It’s ‘Revenge of the Innocence…’ Mark my words…

This has nothing to do with politics… This has to do with right and wrong… My mother always said, “The path to hell is paved with good intentions,” and damn if she ain’t right… I am so tied of good intentions and do gooders,  I could urp!

It’s even in the Churches, political correctness has crippled the truth, you get a fiery good sermon, but mediocrity is the rule, ascetics and political correctness the practice.

To think the universe just is… Is like thinking you’re never going to die. It just ain’t so. Your reasoning is, “because time is in the universe, it itself is somehow timeless…” But the math points to a beginning and an end.” It’s everywhere… There is a chemical breakdown going on throughout the universe, one that can not be reversed or regenerated, as a result, the universe is like a candle, and will one day burn itself out. Poof! With no way of recovering the wax… It all went up in flames. And there will be eternal darkness and cold. No way around it. That’s what the math says. Now they theorize, pontificate and on and on about what they think…  and they stick in numbers and give you theories, for they are educated, and they know the numbers, the real ones, and the ones they made up…. or …’do they?’ The way things are made, “if it’s true here, than it’s true there.’ That is to say, if ‘2+2=4 than 4-2=2… ‘If it’s true there, than it’s true here.’ In other words, ‘a cold dark universe lies ahead.’

Now if we stick the biblical story into it. Adam sinned, and brought death into the world… And that’s what it meant, ‘into the world.’ Not only was Adam going to die, but the whole of it…(the universe) was going to die. Believe it or not, that’s what’s going on… That’s what we’re seeing. That’s what the math says.



Consider a fire in the backyard. You’ve got downed tree limbs, cutting from bushes, a pile of died out zinnias from the summer flower bed, and you have a nice little fire, and feed the flames one stick at a time. Soon, all that big pile is ‘gone!’ Where did it go? Up in flames… You have reduced that big pile to a tiny heap of ashes, and in time, that heap of ashes will be ambient temperature.

What do you think the sun is doing..? If it’s true here, than it’s true there.    ‘From ashes thou art…to ashes thou shall return…’

But what about the life cycle? What about it? We have now broken the DNA code, and what have we learned? There is no evolution, there is instead deterioration, the code is slowly but surely breaking down. Poof!  

Myths… funny thing about myths… There’re suppose to be made up? That is to say… not true… But there is a saying, ‘truth will stand the test of time.’ Greek Mythology…? “It’s mythology.” Then they find the city of Troy, and the story appears to be true. They find the site of Sodom and Gomorrah, and then Jericho; they have found the site of the Red Sea crossing, complete with chariots, ect…   So what’s true and what’s not? What about Atlantis? There’s a myth… comes out of the Greek mythology, Homer, Plato…

Then we have the myths of the dragons… Everybody’s got a dragon story, damn dragons are everywhere… Alexander the Great, Marco Polo, St George, who slay the dragon..?  Myth?

‘There is nothing stranger than truth.’ How many times have you heard this? That’s because it’s true… No single man can know or imagine the truth, so when a small bit of truth is revealed, it’s stranger than anything we thought.

Therefore the truly great stories are based on truth, because there is nothing more compelling than the truth… “Truth will stand the test of time.”

The flood of Noah’s day… Every ancient culture around the world starts at the end of a great flood, of which only they survived. Myth? Really? Every major culture? I believe the Chinese calendar may have begun at the end of the flood. If you take an honest look at the geological record, it screams global flood, a flood right around the beginning of the Chinese calendar.
Prier to the flood, the world was a whole different place… How different? I don’t know… But I do know, eight people spanned that flood in a boat… Those eight people saw it all… Those eight people were full blown adults when the flood occurred… Noah was the last strand of the true God handed down by Adam… Satan controlled man now, and corruption was consuming them…

Now let us consider; those eight people told their stories of the world prier to the flood, where they had spent their childhood and much of their lives. This I offer is ‘The Golden Age,’ and it was consumed by the sea… and so it was, right before their eyes, just like the stories say… and no one survived, save those few souls who told the story. The Golden Age is what God destroyed… A utopia, under Satan’s rule.

There is an old B movie called ‘Logan’s Run.’ Not really well done, terrible scrip, but it had a pretty girl in it and so I sat through it. That movie, through all these years has stuck with me.

Basically, it’s the story of a group of people who live inside a huge machine which provides for them. Makes them, grows them up… and then kills them. The cycle of life as seen by a computer… During the time you’re young adults, you can be and do anything you want, (except be a child or be old) when your time is up, your time is up. You’re dead. If you didn’t jump to your death like you’re suppose to, then ‘Logan hunts you down like a dawg and kills you on behalf of the computer. They made the world (as it was) look all hunky-dory, but void of any meaning, absent any purpose.. Well along comes ‘Logan’s’ turn to die… So he runs… and the hunter is being hunted… Well to make a long story short, he cracks the whole machine open and wa-la everyone is free with the discovery of a whole big world outside, how wonderful. (?) or so I thought… In the years since, I have watched you build just such a machine… Return to the Golden Age… Free of responsibility and free to be a jerk… Among the elite anyway.

Want to know what happened to the Golden Age? It’s the gas you put in your car, the oil you put in your engine, the plastics you wrap your food with… the coal you heat your home with and use to generate your lights… The diesel which plows our fields and brings our goods to market… This the world that was…

Satan wants you to long for the Golden Age; but he doesn’t want you burning the oil and coal, least you figure out where it came from… The more you study it, the more will be revealed… “The truth is stranger than fiction.” And all the while, the rebuilding of The Golden Age continues… at a fervor pace.

Satan has you by the balls people… as the new Golden Age rises. I not only speak to America, but to Russia, U.K. Ukraine, Japan, China and to anyone who read these words, Christ is your only hope. He was in the beginning, and he is now, and so it was, and so it shall be.

Intelligent design (?)



Let us consider… “In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth.”

As the story goes, God created Man in his image, and put him in a garden. The garden of Eden… With the sin of man, death was brought into the world… and man was driven from the garden…

Now… where was he driven too…?  onto the rest of the land mass…? what ever wasn’t Eden…?

Now if you consider the story, God created a perfect world.  What would be a perfect world be?

Let us consider what we see now, consider what we know about physics, and what we know (facts) about the rock record and what we know about intelligent design… and venture into what could be…

Now if you were going to set up a nice aquarium, you would set it up right, so that it functioned as you desired.

I am beginning to get a picture that tells me the pre-flood earth was quite different than today… A perfect world??? There would be no hurricanes, no earthquakes, no floods, no blizzards, no droughts, and no man eating animals…  That’s a tall order to fill.

Now it was about 2000 years from the time of creation to the time of the flood (Noah).  Interesting fact, man lived on average for six hundred years. After the flood, the life-span of man has dropped off sharply and is now under a hundred years… What could have been so different?

God also gave Noah the rainbow as a sign he would never destroy the world with water again, as though, the rainbow was something new. Baptist will tell ya, “There was no rainbows before the flood in the sky.” You ask them to explain that, and they can’t. But damn if their kids didn’t go to school and figure it out… Sure Enough, Noah was the first man to see a rainbow in the sky… 

Let us not put a limit on God, and kept in mind, chaos bigots’ chaos. Intelligence brings design… What we see, is not the way the earth was designed.

I believe when the earth was created, it was basically a perfect terrarium, complete with a canopy and watering system.

I’m seeing a crystal clear ice canopy… we were in a bubble of ice, held in place by a much stronger magnetic field.  This turned the earth as a whole into a terrarium. So the temperatures on the surface would be quite moderate and constant. 

I think the earth itself was pretty much just that, earth. As the story of creation goes, with maybe several small seas…

The inner core powers the planet. I’ll come back to this, on this spinning liquid core, a crust formed (basically the basalt rock) because it was being cooled, and the heat dissipated throughout a layer of water… an underground sea…Above the layer of water was a layer of granite, this crust (keep in mind the idea of design) stood on granite pillars.

Now don’t picture the pillars in Greece… Think about it. It was by design… The pillars were the walls of reservoirs and giant pumps (vanes). That is to say, as the earth spun, the water was pushed to the surface at the head of the rivers and ran down and was collected at the foot of the rivers, creating fountains, lakes and seas along the way, watering the surface continually. It was a terrarium. It was perfect.

It was lush; the green planet… The great Dragons roamed the earth, but did not bother with man. All were vegetarian… because the food was thick and water plentiful. There was no fear between man and animal… There were no man eating animals…

The canopy, as a bubble would have pressurized the atmosphere, causing a higher overall pressure with a much higher concentration of oxygen…. The canopy would also filter out all harmful radiation. Man may have grown to be giants. The fossil record shows a time when oxygen levels where as high as 35%. We have also uncovered the bones of people who where ten feet tall. You may very well have lived to be six to nine hundred years old…

God wasn’t playing hide and seek with Adam… the treasures were all laid out before him. It was made for him… The gold, the silver, the variety of rocks and ore…. Wood… all laid out before Adam… It could have been a single ruby, or sapphire or emerald, the size of a small mountain There it was… He need only to put it to use… A kid, with an Erector Set you might say… Up until sin entered the world (through man), God and man were buddies…

Think about your aquarium. God would not have given Adam this fractured piece of junk we look at today. But man had evil in his heart…

Think about it… We scream about intelligent design. Duhhh… Look at it, and think about it…

God drove Man from the Garden of Eden, not from the planet. (The Garden of Eden was a literal place where Man could sit in God’s presents. It was God’s dwelling place on earth.)  But the rest of the planet, the terrarium, continued to work fine.

The tragedy was losing the presents of God, but Adam was driven into a paradise… His kids were spoilt; hell…they killed each other…  

Working from, the fall of man… Things were pretty good… Lots of food, it was comfortable, lot of things to do, lot of things to work with, lot of things to fight over…

I have a feeling they built quite a culture, having forgot all about God… It came easy. They had a pretty good idea how it worked, Adam told them all he knew, and hell, he was buddies with God, and he was around a long time to teach and tell his stories.

I contend they had no oil and no coal. How did they power this great culture? Electricity. They were using the spin of the earth by using the flow of the waters…Production enhance by the stronger magnetic field.  Electricity drove everything, and mankind was living high on the hog in a terrarium given to them by God, whom they had forgotten…

Don’t forget, these are modern men, just like us, (but also keep in mind, they may have every well lived in an environment where oxygen levels were around 35% and with near double the air pressure, fellow could get pretty big, and be pretty smart),  doing the same things as us… I’m sure there were great empires built, and wars fought and rich people and poor people and free and slave…. And just like today, some of them consolidated much power and began to think themselves gods… So the struggles were between the great gods???

Remember, everyone came from Noah and his bunch.  If this is true, not only would these people tell the story of the flood, they would tell the story, as they saw it, of what was going on prior to the flood.

I say rethink your mythologies, they may be based in truth… as the stories came down, each to each, from their point of view. These stories of gods and dragons and sex and debauchery may not be myth, but remnants of the culture prior to the flood. And every rooted culture around the world starts with a story of the flood. 

There also seems to be a universal aura of a great lost culture…that fell into the sea….. The Golden Age.... Well duhhh… The story is vague, but persist… Much like the flood… Could the two legends be related? Generation after generation... 

It fell into the sea alright… Don’t forget, there were witnesses, those few who came across on the ark. And… They talked, you bet, and everyone in the world knew their stories for I’d say at least two-hundred years… and gradually it became hearsay… Twisted to fit the times and cultures, but the over-all themes persist… and haunt us to this day… It’s because it’s all true… There was a great culture (by our standards) and yes, it fell into the sea, so to speak.

So, we got this perfect little terrarium going here full of evil little people of which God’s ‘bout fed up with…

So... he finds this fellow Noah, you know the story and tells him to build a boat (Ark)…

I want to back track a little and bring in another element…which can’t be over looked. The sky… A marvel to behold, but isn’t truly visible except by telescope, and then Wow… I use to ponder the question, “Why would God make such a wonderful sky, and then put it so distance as not to be seen at all in detail without a telescope?” Why would the stained glass windows be so far away?

I contend the sky, the whole of it, was much smaller and much closer. That Adam and Eve saw it all… The moon, right there, huge, as we dream of it in our art. They could see the bands of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn and Neptune.    The Milky-Way must have been like a flame in the sky. They could see all the clouds of dust, each its own color… They could see the spinning galaxies and their spiral arms glistening in the night sky…  Before the flood, it wasn’t very dark at night, the sun just wasn’t up. Why would God, who was man’s buddy, leave man without a night light, least he stumble. God even says he gave man a night light…. With the moon to rule over it.  No… it wasn’t very dark at night…

I lean heavily on Dr. Humphrey’s model of the universe, which he says, is based on known numbers alone, no conjecture, and has passed peer review… Very interesting model it is…

Have a look




Based on Dr. Humphrey’s model… We have this wonderful paradise, which God made, just a perking away…. And the workers run amuck… they think the garden belongs to them… They are gods…

God, who is fed up with this bunch, throws a rock, a little rock, no bigger than Texas… it comes through the canopy, knocking a huge hole in it and then striking the granite surface, shattering it along with the basalt foundation. Nothing moved; gravity held it together… So nobody noticed….except it began to rain, over the whole earth, as the canopy came apart and fell though a warm atmosphere, it melted and it rained and it rained and it rained, for forty days it rained. When Noah and the ark were safely afloat a hydraulic cushion, God stretched out the universe, perhaps near its size today, suddenly….

This ripple in the fabric of space, opened up the cracks from the fracture suffered just weeks earlier… and a piece, a big piece of the undersea floor dropped into the mantle, along with most everything above it. And the water runs to this low…the mantle, where it meets the water cools suddenly and begins to solidify creating a new sea floor, and because its hot and less dense, it begins to rise, pushing all the water (to include now the canopy) up and away. The massive currents and expanding space cause the cracks to start working against each other, washing out the pillars, the network of channels and reservoirs that made the earth a pump, and the granite foundations collapse and another chunk of the sea floor drops.

Massive areas of the earth just drop away into the mantle and is replaced with sea floor. The process is causing currents which cannot be described, capable of Grinding many of the fractures into mountain ranges and carrying billions of cubic miles of debris thousands of miles, turning the surface over and washing it clean, and in the process, spreading and hiding all the gifts given to Adam, gold, silver ect… this to include the night sky.

When Noah’s family came out of the ark, the earth was all together different. The canopy was gone, much of the air was gone, the watering system was replaced with a rain cycle, soon the poles where frozen nearly a third of the way to the equator and the air cold… There was nothing to eat.

One of the gifts taken from man was his relationship with animals. In order for man to survive now, in this barren wasteland, was if he ate the animals, and thus, God struck fear into the hearts of the beast. For the first time, the animals ate each other, in order to survive… 

Two thirds of the land was gone and had been replaced with great oceans, left undrinkable from the cleansing… God’s gift of water was reduced greatly…

The land masses which remained were shattered and scattered, and were being pulled apart as the earth attempted to come back into balance, as equilibrium was restored (as best as could be), the process slowed and the plate edges settled, and the whole of it, began to harden in place…Leaving the rock record we have today.

I’ll tell you something else…. I think the oil and coal deposits are the graves of that pre-flood culture and world… They powered their world with God’s genus (whom they had forgotten) and fittingly enough, through our burnt offerings of their arrogance (coal, oil & gas) we power ours…  (Yes, I think we are suppose to burn it to power our world, I think  it’s just what God had in mind for the pre-flood world of debauchery)

The whole of it much more mystic than you ever thought..?

Everything I have laid out above, is disputed by every theory presented, but as facts go…. What I say emerges, because the history has been written…

You’d better rethink, “In the beginning God Created the Heavens and the earth.” And your American Ideal…
