Iranian-American Businessman Gets Loaded Gun on Plane

This article somehow doesn't surprise me or even change my blood preasure.  How can we be surprised any longer that the TSA is nothing more than jack-booted thugs of our Nazi government.  Keeping us safe is nowhere on their checklist of things to do at work.

This article is from: Gatewaypundit.com

While the TSA was groping grandma, an Iranian-American businessman slipped on the plane with a gun.

The Daily Mail reported:

The effectiveness of security at U.S. ports is being questioned after a businessman accidentally travelled on a flight with a loaded handgun in his luggage.

Iranian-American Farid Seif was screened by Trasport Security Administration officials at Houston airport in Texas. His hand luggage was also X-rayed before he took off on his international flight.

It wasn’t until Mr Seif arrived at his hotel several hours later that he realised that he had forgotten to unpack a loaded snub nose Glock pistol from his luggage before he embarked on his journey.

‘It’s just impossible to miss it, you know. I mean, this is not a small gun,’ Mr Seif told ABC News.

‘How can you miss it? You cannot miss it.’

According to ABC, security slip-ups in the U.S. are not rare.

The news network claims experts have confided that ‘every year since the September 11 terror attacks, federal agencies have conducted random, covert “red team tests”, where undercover agents try to see just how much they can get past security checks at major U.S. airports’.

Step by Step and the End is Now Near

The federal government gives money to our schools and then tells our schools they are not allowed to pray, to have a Christmas tree, to read the Bible.  "Sorry, but you agreed to our control over you when you took taxpayers money."

The federal government gives an ObamaCare waiver to Walmart and now Walmart has Homeland Security teaching people how to spy on their neighbors almost EXACTLY the same way they turned people against each other in Nazi Germany.  "Sorry, but you agreed to our control over you when you took taxpayers money."

The federal government gives money to the States for roads and the States decide that your farm and/or house is going to be worth a lot of money in a few years when the highway comes through there.  So, they take your land away from you and give you 1/4 of it's value and then resell it to a land developer (friends and political supporters) who then become millionaires off your land.  "Sorry, but you agreed (The State) to our control over you when you took taxpayers money."

How many different places do we have to see people holding their hands out to the federal government for money; only to become their slaves and to loose their freedom?

Below is another example.  A bank being told by the federal government what they can and can not say about Christmas.  The banks took the federal bail out money... "Sorry, buy you agreed to our control over you when you took taxpayers money."



Wouldn't the simple answer to the return of our freedoms simply be to stop giving the federal government money (lower taxes from 50% to 4%) and cut all federal programs by 50% (including all my favorites like the military, social security, medicare, medicade, etc, etc, etc).

Warning: Analogy

The dragon must be slain.  Before too long the deal with the devil of sacrificing one child every year will end up with our village all dying with nothing worth living for.

Little by little we are losing everything.  Friends and neighbors all see it happening but their memory is 45 seconds long and they never tie all the pieces together.

Step back people.. you have all the pieces.  What are you waiting for?  The gas chambers?

************************************

Add to it the legistration to control all food in the country. Illegal to grow your own garden without government oversight, etc.


Toss in legal authorization now for the feds to not only follow your cellphone GPS without you knowing (withou...t a warrent) they can now also GPS tag your vehicle without a warrent.

How much longer before you find yourself standing in a line waiting to get your eyes scanned or your palmprint scanned for your federal food ID card?

You can make a difference though.  But you have to get uncomfortable and risk rocking the boat in the world around you.

Progressive Democrat Commits Suicide

More Progressive Democrats go on violent (attempted) murdering sprees to end with suicide.
Yet another example of progressive democrats blaming conservatives for being violent and when the reality comes out it's the democrats that are out with guns trying to kill people.

Tower of Babel and the European Union Parliament Building

There are so many coincidences in this world that at times it feels like you are seeing parallels and linked events nearly constantly.

History:
Genesis 11: 1-9
"1. Now the whole earth had one language and one speech.  2. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.  3. Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.  4. And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."
"5. But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.  6. And the Lord said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; no nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.  7. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."  8. So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.  9. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth."

Current Day:
We have the United Nations and the European Union as well as a great many others working feverishly to create a One World Government.  We have dozens of current sitting congressmen, senators and even a President in this country which openly professes the desire to completely destroy our country and fold it into a one world government system.
If at this point you have rolled your eyes and stopped reading it's okay, go watch more television and continue to remain asleep.  If on the other hand you -have- started to pay attention to the world beyond going to/from work and trying to make enough money to pay your taxes and still pay your insurance payments and buy some food, then I am pleased to have you here reading my blog.  Thank you my brother/sister, welcome to the great re-awakening.

I have taken this time to point out the story of the Tower of Babel and the European Union's pressing forward of a one world government as introduction to show you a picture.  Now, there is no photograph of the Tower of Babel, but only artist renditions of what they think it would have looked like.  The artists have not veered too terribly far apart over the centuries and the similar pictures have built into the mind of mankind an idea of what it looked like.

So, if people were to want to recreated some great and amazing structure or one world government which thought they no longer were in need of God and could do all things on their own... I think it would be interesting how they decided to design that building.  Hmm.. I wonder?

And the European Union's Parliament building?

See any similarities?  How about now?

I'm just saying... sometimes when it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, floats like a duck....

Maybe it's not a horse?

Though I know most of the world will look right at it and be unable to see it, I'm thankful to God that he's opened my eyes and my mind to being alert to the world around me.

The answer is not bigger government, one language, one uniform subjugation to authority of man.  It is a simpler life, less government, lower taxes, more family and community and more freedom.

UPDATE:

Since publishing this article I came across one of the European Union Parliament Building publications and promotions.  Wow.. I wasn't off even a tiny little bit.  Erie how dead-on I really am.

Daily Reminder of History

The quote below I have heard and studied and pondered on/off for a few years now.  It inspires me to be involved in the world around me and to look beyond myself and my family.  The quote keeps it fresh in my mind the importance of the continued struggle to keep our freedom and not hand it over to our government for convienence.

I decided to put it into a graphics file so that I could put it up as a backdrop on my computer at work.

100+ Year Old Quote

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage." Alexander Tyler

This quote is well over one hundred years old. Tyler was writing about the fall of the Athenian Republic.

tick-tock doc, average of two hundred years?  Is this a blueprint of excactly what we are doing or what?  Next step, dictator.

Coming To An Airport Near You

How about that, my little corner of the world, Grand Rapids, Michigan has got their own special batch of sexual assailants as well.

This sure is spreading fast.  The little airport we fly into when we fly back to Michigan isn't safe any longer either.

I wasn't all that surprised when we were coming back from Colorado last week that they pulled my 11 year old daughter to the side for enhanced searching; after all, she is an American girl of 11 years old, those are high up on the threat list right?

Anyway, here is the video of more of the jack-boot thugs man-handling the citizens.



Here's another video of a little old lady getting a T&A person putting their hand down INSIDE of their underware!!



Next we have a flight attendent that survived cancer getting humiliated in public.  She's on her way to work (IN THE PLANE) and they still force her to take out her prosthetic breast and show it to them.

George Benard Shaw and Your School

I have to ask if you have ever heard of George Bernard Shaw.  If not I will give you a brief history lesson on him.

He is a left/democrat icon in history that was a media proponent of Eugenics.  He offered the extream option to the worlds problems.  His idea was that if a person could not contribute enough to society, then they needed to be done away with.  If a person did not contribute a sum total greater than their consumption, then they were a drain on socity as a whole and thus kept society from reaching it's potential.

For the good of mankind, they needed to be killed off.

His buddy of course was Adolf Hitler.



The reason I am offering this small history lesson is that I work with a guy that has very similar views.  He is perfectly logical and compasionate in his beliefs that if grandmother stops remembering your name, then you really -should- kill her for the good of society.

It's been eating at me how someone can so calmly decide such a thing and be so calm and relaxed about it in their mind.  They actually believe themselves as compasionate for killing someone else.

Here is another small video of the concept where someone honestly thinks it is compasionate to kill a child if they get sick.



So, we know this truly exists and it's not just some crazy blogger ranting about some no-longer held concept in the world.  But, it is truly alive and well and triving in people all around us.

The link to the schools I now wish to bring in is that schools are now (and have been) sending letters home with students to inform their parents that their children are overweight.

( Flagstaff, AZ Sends Letters Home to Parents )

Oh, it's just their concern.  They want the best for the children of course.  They're just trying to look out to make sure that those few parents that are just too stupid to know that their child is heavier than the neighbor kid, get educated in how best to care for the needs of their child.

This also gives us the logic behind giving the children condoms, drug advice and education, instruction on the best ways for oral sex, etc, etc.

The government has become immesurably involved in what is allowed, what is promoted, what is enforced and what is pushed in the lives of our children in our public schools.

------

The link I believe is this:  That compasionate need to care for other peoples kids, educate the parents, modify the lifestyles and decisions of the children and the need for control of the most minute decisions of a child is the same mindset and base principal behind Eugenics.

Our teachers unions have been in bed with the far left/socialists in this country for a very long time.  Now the Communist Party USA has linked arms with the American Teacher's Unions with like minded goals and purposes.

Is it any surprise that the communist and the Nazi's (National -socialist-/democrat Party) are working together to create their perfect society where the government decides who lives and dies, the genetics of who is weeded out of our world and done away with?

It is my claim that the beliefs of George Benard Shaw and of Adolf Hitler is alive and well in the United States of America.  Those beliefs are alive and well in our Public Schools and in the good meaning marxists which are our union member teachers in our schools.

I implore you, I beg of you.. find a way to homeschool your children or get them into a private charter school or private school.

Our public schools are broken and their unions will control your children to the point of government spies (read Nazi history) or elimination for the purpose of their perfect one world government.

TSA Encounter

I stumbled across this video from a link off the Drudge Report that brought me to:
( This Website )

The videos below are mostly good for their audio purposes but really give an amazing revealing of what happens when you actually stand up for your rights.





How DARE you tell someone you refuse to have them play with your genitles.  You are completely out of control !!

Below we see how they treat a three year old little girl.  They're known for being terrorists you know.

Do We Have This All Upside Down?

In those hours before waking up things come across my mind that seem utter genius.  After some hours of being awake they occasionally drift into silly recollection and I wonder why they seemed so brilliant when I was sleeping and so much nonsense after I've been awake for a bit.

This article/entry is about my thought this morning before waking up.

Currently in the U.S. Government a simple majority is only needed to pass a bill in the House of Representatives, and then again in the Senate and then to become law it needs to be signed by the President (if Vetoed it goes back and needs a 2/3rd's vote to bypass the veto).

To repeal a law already in place you need a 2/3rd's vote.

So it got me thinking in my sleep that it sure is easier to pass a law than it is to get rid of it.

Does it not seem straight forward that to pass a new law (removal of the peoples freedoms, pass more taxes, tax away more rights and privileges of the people) that you only need 51% of a vote.  But to pull back those intrusive and troublesome laws that were found out to be done in good faith, but were very horrible and terrible laws to begin with... you would need a 67% vote.

I think it is upside down.

I know it will never happen but this is the way I think it should be.

I think it should take a 67% vote to pass a new law/regulation/tax/theft of freedoms bill by congress and the Senate and it should only take a 51% vote to repeal it completely.

Is this a crazy early morning concept, or an actual decent and solid idea?

Let Us Be The People We Wish Others Were

I'm not sure when it first occurred to me that there are a great many wolves in sheep's clothing all around me.

Reaching back into the far recesses of my memories I have recollection after recollection of events and news stories happening time and again and in each case there was one reoccurring theme.

Rather than list a few dozen examples from my past which might not bring up identical examples in your memories, I'll ask you a few questions to see if you pick up on where I'm going with this idea.

1. How many times have you heard of a veterinarian being found out that they've been torturing the animals left in their care, or mutilating them or doing surgeries without pain killers so that they can save money (while charging you full price).

2. How many times have you heard of public figures up in your face and on television time and again standing against child abuse and standing for the rights of children.  But, turns out they have been taken pedophilia pictures of children and molesting children for decades.

3. How many times do you know an auto dealer/mechanic that is on the television going on about ethics, family values, being treated like one of the family if/when you buy a car from them or come in and have your car maintained in their garage by them.  But, turns out they're more crooked than a dog's hind leg and have been cutting corners and falsifying paperwork, installing faulty parts and charging you for new parts, etc, etc.

4. How many times have you seen a politician get your support and head off to the State Capital or to Washington D.C. on very specific policies and purposes.  But, turns out they were laughing at you all the way to the Capital at how naive you were to vote for them and believe in them.  But.. they know they'll pretend they've come to Jesus next election and you'll be pathetic enough to believe them and vote them in again, again, again, again.

My point is...

You really need to take a microscopic look at the people that are there telling you they are there to help you.

Look past the platitudes and what you know they could be saying because it's what they are expected to say. The most assured way to know if they are lying is to look at their past.  How have they voted?  Find others that used that mechanic and interview them.  Question the people that know them and the people that have dealt with them and cut ties with them... find out why.

And, when all that is done.  Be aware that there is still a very good chance that you'll be suckered anyway.

I am not pessimistic.  I am optimistic that we can become a people of respect and honor once more.  Let us lead by example and be the people that we wish others were.

Who are you? And who are those that stand against you?

Greater minds than mine have expressed the importance of "knowing your enemy".  Those seem like harsh words or ideas from an unforgiving and cruel person; perhaps someone filled with hate.

Who would have an enemy?  Someone at war?  Someone in a fight or a struggle for life?

Enemy is a term used with great weight and seriousness.  It is not a term you toss out to someone you have a disagreement with.  It is not a term you use if you have a squabble with someone under most situations in your life.  It's the term you use when it's a "me or them" situation.

Enemy is a term you use for the person that will kill you and destroy you if you do not deal with them.

To understand then who our enemy is, we have to understand who we are and what we believe.

In the following video clips are taken from Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally in Washington D.C. back on 8/28/2010.  With the clips is played the music video from a lady named Krista Branch.

If you watch the video you will find out with stark clarity exactly what the movement sweeping across this country is all about.  You will find out that it stands for:

1. Restoring out country in a relationship with God.

2. Living lives of honor, integrity and character.

3. Loving others, helping others and living selfless lives where we give the fruit of labor and the sweat of our brow to care for those among us that need help.

So I ask you.  Who is our Enemy?  Who stands against our country returning to a relationship with God?  Who stands against living lives of honor, integrity and character?  Who stands against becoming personally involved in charity and helping those in need in your communities?

What sort of a person/people is trying to keep you from God?  Keep you from being honest in all things in your life?  Keep you from doing the right thing and standing up for people that are being unjustly wrong by others?

Do not be so naive as to think they are just voicing an opinion different than yours.  They laugh at you and your simpleton thinking.  They have come straight out and looked you directly in the eye and said they are here to destroy you.  They are here to rip God from this country and replace him with the worship of their new government.  They are not hiding behind doors and making deals in back rooms.  They are blatantly in your face and laughing and mocking you.

Who is our enemy?

Who wants to keep you from God?

I think the answer is so plain it doesn't even need to be said.

Pick your side.  I have.

The Gods of the Copybook Headings

By: Rudyard Kipling

AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,

I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.

Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn

That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:

But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,

So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,

Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,

But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come

That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,

They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;

They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;

So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.

They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know." 

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life

(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)

Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death." 

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all, 

By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul; 

But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy, 

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die." 

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew

And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true

That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man

There are only four things certain since Social Progress began. 

That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire, 

And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins

When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, 

As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, 

The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! 

1930's Lessons Learned... Or Not

We have all heard the saying, "If you don't know your history, you are doomed to repeat it".  But do we ever truly learn from history and keep from repeating the same mistakes?

In our personal lives we seem to remember not to poke at the dog when it's eating... lesson learned.
In our personal lives we seem to remember not to put the knife in the wall outlet... lesson learned.

But.. when we start mixing in more people and government and bureaucracy it seems we can't even remember the lessons learned from the day before, let alone from decades before.

Did we learn anything about the Great Depression?  Did we learn that extremely high government spending, government taking over of private enterprises made things worse?  Did we learn that the more government tried to 'fix' things the worse that they made it?  Did we learn that if we remove government as the roadblock, that we as a country can do crazy-amazing and incredible things?

Then why are we doing it all over again?

Take a gander at the stock market going into and during the Great Depression and check out where we are right now.

It would be quite painful and lengthy to repeat the last several years of mistakes and repeating of mistakes of the past.. but perhaps this chart will inspire you into asking... why are we having the exact same results and going into another Great Depression?  What have we done that has caused the precise repeat of the past?

Do we really want another Great Depression?  Seems like we do.

Let It Burn and Let Them Die

In South Fulton, Tennessee you have to pay $75 a year for fire protection.  If you don't, the fire department will watch your house burn to the ground.

What people are focusing on is the city policy.  What I'd like to point out... this is precisely what is coming with our country and it's health care.

Sorry, you only paid 76% of you income as taxes, you owed 77% of your income as taxes.  You can sit in the waiting room and die.  Sorry.. that's the Obama policy.

Hate-Fest Addendum

This is a perfect addendum to my previous article (click here) that contrasts the difference between the 8/28 Restoring Honor Rally and the recent communist "One Nation" hate-fest.

The Road We Are Traveling Down With Environmentalists

I had this video linked on my Facebook page but thought it would be important to record it here on my blog at the same time.  I am linking to the YouTube video here but when I get home from work I will download a copy of the video so that when it is scrubbed from the internet I can keep it active and keep them from burrying this video and hiding it.

The BBC had an interview where a lady telling the reporter that she thinks most mothers would put a pillow over their childs faces and smother them to death if they had an incurable disease.  She was confident that most mothers would kill their children if they were in pain.

**UPDATE**

I found a video of the above and am including it into this article now.

The slippery slope (this is an old term used by fanatics back in the 1980's when they tried to explain that removing God from schools would lead to more violence and troubled children, etc, etc, etc....and where laughed at.. and now proven true)... has led us to the point where if you disagree with us... killing you is the obvious answer, (shrug)... and on we go without one world government earth worship religion.

**Update**

I have added another video below which covers both of the above and expounds on this problem.

Progressive Hate Rally Builds on Lying Foundational Principals

Okay, let's see the photos he's referring to.

In case you are curious, the picture on the left is the Restoring Honor Rally put on by Glenn Beck.  The one on the right is from Hate Inc.

8/28 was a day in which those that gathered turned to God, prayed and where people decided that the way to improve our country was to Love each other, pray for each other and to lead moral and upright lives as examples to our children.  People from all over the country bought plane tickets, bus tickets, rented buses, carpooled and found their way to D.C. to meet like-minded people and to pray together.

Oh dear, that's not acceptable.

The logical response is to have unions and government supported organizations to pay for people to get transported to D.C. and show up screaming hate and promoting greed, laziness, dishonesty, profanity and moral corruption.

Even though there are only a handful of people that came to D.C. this past Saturday for this purpose and that they were paid and encouraged to attend by no less than a dozen communist and union groups across the country (see onenationworkingtogether.org sponsors) it still breaks my heart that so many people are filled and motivated by anger and hate and are so fully enslaved in the armies of Lucifer.

So many lost... so many lost...

U.S. Government Reveals Plan for One World Government

How many times do you have to jump up and down in front of people to get their attention on this issue?

I will type slowly so that people that still don't 'get it' might have one last time.  I feel like Noah getting ready to close the door while the storm clouds are forming and it's starting to rain.

One last time... please...  WAKE UP !!

Our own United States Government has released it's own study on it's direction and progress into the future.

You can download a copy of it directly from the government website so that you can remove one more conspiracy theory fog from your eyes and perhaps see the light of day.
Download the Report Here

Here are a few excerpts from the document you will probably just ignore and go back to watching your television after reading.

-Effect: By 2025 a single "international community" composed of nation-states will no longer exist. Power will be more dispersed with the newer players bringing new rules of the game while risks will increase that the traditional Western alliances will weaken. Rather than emulating Western models of political and economic development, more countries may be attracted to China's alternative development model.


-We do not believe that we are headed toward a complete breakdown of the international system, as occurred in 1914-1918 when an earlier phase of globalization came to a halt. In other words, they don't believe we can stop them this time.

-"In terms of size, speed, and directional flow, the transfer of global wealth and economic power now under way-roughly from West to East-is without precedent in modern history"

Watch the Messiah and his demons.. um.. I mean minions speak openly about their plan for this:


Tick Tock Doc, Time is almost up.

Arizona November Ballot Proposals

I got a very in-depth Ballot Proposition public pamphlet (book) in the mail that was issued by the Arizona Secretary of State.  It puts every proposition out there for all to read and breaks down it's purpose for each proposition in a summary or layman's terms in case you don't want to read through all the legal wording.  So, I read both.

I made up my own quick Yes / No summary of each proposition.  Many of them give me great encouragement and pride in my new State.  No nostalgia for Michigan with me any longer.

It's My Land, No It's Not, It's My Land !

This article will not solve the strife between Jews/Christians and Islam but what it will do is allow you to understand why Islam has been hell-bent on destroying the Jews and Christians for the last several thousand years.

This is going to be a historical document in which I go back to written documents and site references of the past. It is meant to help you get a picture of the past so you can understand the present.

What is shared between Judaism, Christianity and Islam is the Biblical character Abraham.  All three religions are  direct descendants of Abraham.

Below you can read the “Very Short Summary”, and/or you can read on to get the in-depth history.

Very Short Summary:

Abraham had a son Ishmael with a servant girl.  14 years later Abraham had a son named Isaac with his wife Sarah.  Since Ishmael was an illegitimate son, it was Isaac whom inherited their father’s wealth (lands, etc).  Isaac’s descendants continued on the Jewish faith, Ishmael was wronged and angered and broke off into the Islamic faith.

The Long Story:

Abraham, born in the Mesopotamian city of Ur, was the son of Terah, a descendant of Shem, a son of Noah. Born almost 4,000 years ago, Abraham's impact on the Middle East is still with us to this day. As a descendant of Noah's son Shem, Abraham and his descendants were a Semitic people.

Called "the father of the faithful" (compare Romans 4:11), Abraham obeyed God's instruction to leave his native Ur and move to Haran. As Stephen, the devout first martyr of the Christian era, put it: "The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, and said to him, 'Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you'" (Acts 7:2-3).


Both Ur and Haran were cities in Mesopotamia, which refers to the area between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Haran was a natural stopping-off point for Abraham and Sarah, who were about to be sent by God to a new land, a significant turning point in the history of the region.


God was working with Abraham to establish him and his descendants in the land of Canaan (later called the Promised Land and often referred to as the Holy Land). At the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe, this area was ideal for God's chosen people, who were to be an example to the rest of the world (Deuteronomy 4:5-8).


On arriving in the new land, God promised Abraham that He would give the land to his descendants (Genesis 12:7). "And the LORD said to Abram,... 'Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever'" (Genesis 13:14-15).


God added: "And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered" (verse 16). 


Significantly, God later changed Abram's name to Abraham (Genesis 17:5). His earlier name meant "high (exalted) father." God renamed him "father of a multitude," saying, "I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you" (verse 6).


At the time these prophecies must have seemed ironic to Abraham, for his wife Sarah was barren. Her infertility was to be very significant in the development of the modern Middle East.
God promised Abraham in Genesis 15:4 that he would have an heir: "one who will come from your own body." Impatient, Sarah told Abraham to take her Egyptian handmaid Hagar and to produce a child by her. This took place "after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan" (Genesis 16:1-3).


Abraham's first son is born


"So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes" (Genesis 16:4). The relationship between Sarah and Hagar quickly deteriorated and Hagar fled.


But a divine message was given to Hagar, telling her to return. It also reassured her that her son would have many descendants—but descendants with traits that would be evident throughout their history: "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count ... You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael ['God hears'], for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers" (verses 10-12, New International Version).


This description of Hagar's descendants is significant because many of today's Arabs are Ishmaelites—descendants of this same Ishmael, whose father was Abraham. Muhammad, the founder and prophet of Islam, was descended from Kedar, one of the 12 sons of Ishmael (Ismail in Arabic). Today 22 nations in the Middle East and North Africa are Arabic nations, most of whose people are adherents of Islam. An additional 35 countries are members of the Islamic Conference, most of them with Islamic governments, but whose people are of different descent.


Even before Ishmael's descendants arrived in the area, the term arab was used to denote the peoples of the Arabian peninsula. With the spread of Islam, Arabs and the Arabic language today encompass a vast region.


The divinely prophetic words spoken to Hagar are still of great significance today. The prophecy that Ishmael "will be a wild donkey of a man" is not meant as an insult. The wild donkey was the aristocrat of the wild beasts of the desert, the preferred prey of hunters. The prophecy is a reference to how Ishmael's descendants would emulate the lifestyle of the wild donkey, leading a free and noble existence in the desert.


"His hand will be against everyone, and everyone's hand against him" similarly refers to this independent lifestyle. Ishmael's descendants have always resisted foreign domination. "He will live in hostility towards all his brothers" is a reference to the enmity that has historically existed among the Arabs and between the Arabs and the other sons of Abraham.


Abraham's second son


Fourteen years after the birth of Ishmael, God blessed Abraham with another son, this time by his wife Sarah. He told them to name their son Isaac (meaning "laughter" for the incredulous reaction they had when told they would have a son at their advanced age as well as the joy that he would later bring to his parents, Genesis 17:17, 19; 18:10-15; 21:5-6). Isaac in turn fathered Jacob, also named Israel, the father of the Israelites. Ishmael's and Isaac's descendants are therefore cousins.


"So the child [Isaac] grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing. Therefore she said to Abraham, 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac'" (Genesis 21:8-10).


This displeased Abraham, who had grown to love Ishmael. "But God said to Abraham, '... Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called" (verse 12). God further reassured Abraham: "Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman [Ishmael], because he is your seed" (verse 13). "So God was with the lad; and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness ..." (verse 20).


It cannot be said that Ishmael hated Isaac. But after 14 years as an only child, Isaac's arrival fundamentally changed Ishmael's relationship with his father, Abraham. Afterward, Ishmael felt envy and rivalry toward his half brother, feelings that tribally have survived down through the centuries and which affect the politics of the Middle East today.


Isaac's two sons


Further family complications were ahead. Isaac, in turn, had two sons, Jacob and Esau, twins by his wife Rebekah. Even before they were born, "the children struggled together within her" (Genesis 25:22). God explained: "Two nations are in your womb, two peoples shall be separated from your body; one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger" (verse 23). Both brothers were to father great nations, a blessing from God to Abraham's grandsons.


Normally the firstborn would receive the birthright, but here it was to be different. The Bible records that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of lentil stew (verses 29-34), showing how little it meant to him. Sometime later, Jacob tricked his father into giving him the birthright blessing (chapter 27). For this, "Esau hated Jacob" (verse 41).


Again, the consequences of this are with us to this day.The descendants of Esau (also called Edom, Genesis 25:30) intermarried with Ishmael's descendants, their bitterness and resentment against Jacob's descendants intensifying through the centuries. Esau's grandson Amalek (Genesis 36:12) was the father of the Amalekites, who became bitter foes of the descendants of Jacob, the 12 tribes of Israel. A prophecy about Amalek foretold endless war between them "from generation to generation" (Exodus 17:16). Some scholars believe that many of today's Palestinians are largely the descendants of the Amalekites.

From this we can see where the Jews have come, where Islam has come as well as the Palestinians.  There is no wonder nor confusion as to why for thousands of years these people have bickered back and forth and worked to kill each other in this family feud.

I hope this has helped you understand the history of the Middle East, Israel and the Promised Land and the never ending saga of Islam vs. the rest of the world.

BOO on ASU !

So, I've gone this far in life on two associates degrees and I'm pondering expanding one or two of those into a Bachelors degree.

I've changed much as a person since back in the late 1980's and my challenge is to find a fulfilling career or area of study that is conservative in nature.  My associates degrees are 'Natural Resources' and 'Water Quality'.

The Natural Resources degree is incredible but unrealistic.  It was the main degree during college that gave you hope for an exciting future.  Working in a fisheries department, forestry, wildlife management, State Parks system, Park Ranger, etc.  Working outside and in nature would be outstanding and fulfilling on so many levels.

My problem though with getting work in this degree is that they are State run departments and I can't humanly score high enough on the tests to get my foot in the door.  I am a white male in America trying to find work in a politically correct world.  I can score 100% on my civil service tests and not even come close to landing an interview.  On the other hand, a black (+5%) woman (+5%) with a bumb knee (+5%) that is on a medical discharge from the military (+5%) with an alternative lifestyle (+ infinite%) can score 75% on the same test and be a shoe-in for the position.

That was the reality of the degree once I got out of college and couldn't find a job or even the opportunity for an interview.

The Water Quality degree was a slightly better chance.  The problem there was I had to have a State License and I couldn't take the State License test until I had experience, but no one would hire me to get experience until I had the License.  Oh yes, government at its best.

So... that is how I found myself going into the United States Air Force in 1992 and working in Water and Wastewater (sewer) within Civil Engineering.  4+ years of experience was the big door that opened up that career for me.  I had the experience that convinced the States to allow me to test for the Licensing as well as the +5% to my civil service tests.

I got my foot in at the ground level of a water treatment plant in Southwestern Michigan and that's where my real career started in 1996.

Since then the ceiling of career advancement has been the management and supervisory positions where the golden children manicured for those positions have bachelors degrees.  Mind you, they don't have to be in engineering, hydraulics, chemistry.. anything useful.. but things like Psychology seem just fine to get you into these better paying positions with more responsibility.

So, here I am in Arizona now looking for a University to pool my 4+ years of college under my belt into a useful bachelors degree.  While I'm at it, why don't I develop a degree that I can be excited about?  And, that leads me to this article.

I brought up Arizona State University's website to check out their online classes (and schoolroom also) and see what degree programs they might have that really tug at my interest and I start looking into their Political Science program.

This is where my smile got turned upside down.

"... as citizens in a democratic political system and to flourish in the rapidly developing globalization of the world's...."

Um.. EXCUSE ME ?!?!

We are a Republic, not a democracy.  Developing globalization?
How about: Train our students in how to promote individualism, small government, personal responsibility and freedom?

I mean, I would expect this drivel and mind-numbing communist crap in Michigan, California, Oregon, Washington... okay.. in 40 of the 50 States.. but Arizona?  Come on, I thought I moved into a conservative State?

What are other's experiences in trying to further their education?  Is there any hope of getting a conservative education?

How do you fix the system around you?  Get involved right?  But to get involved you have to go through this indoctrination process from the enemy.  I know for certain that I would never pass a class that force fed this communist drivel.  Every three minutes I'd stand up and raise my hand and call out, "Um.. excuse me Sir.. where are your facts on that?  Sir.. I don't want to be disrespectful but your theories of government have shown over the centuries to rape the freedoms of the citizens of any countries they have been tried, lowered the standard of living of the citizens and ended in the murder of hundreds of thousands of the citizens as the ruling class of dictators in the government feel threatened when the country wakes up and revolts."

Perhaps this is more of a vent than an article, but what are some of you others experiences in dealing with trying to find higher education that is actually WORTH your hard earned money?
