The Awful Truth

This information corroborates what Alex Jones has been saying about this war. I don't like it, but facts need to be faced, and this is getting really ugly.

In researching comparisons between the average monthly death tolls for the Vietnam War and the Iraq War, I ran across a site detailing what can only be described as "the awful truth about this war".

"Since the U.S. suffered over 20,000 more military dead during Vietnam war than previously reported by the Pentagon, I wonder what the real figure (for the Iraq War) is at this time.

The U.S. Veteran Dispatch had uncovered Pentagon records revealing that the United States suffered nearly 20,000 more fatalities during the Vietnam war era than the 58,182 servicemen whose names are engraved on the National Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

According to a U.S. Army file called TAGCEN which contains over 293,000 Army casualty records, there are 19,644 U.S. Army servicemen who were killed or died between January 1, 1965 and December 31, 1975 that are not counted as Vietnam war dead because their death certificates were written in other countries, including the United States."

Here is a further exerpt from it:

"Harring Report: The National Young Men’s Meat Grinder

Note: Viewers of TBR News who would like a copy of the original DoD Supplementary Casualty lists, showing the actual military deaths from March 2003 through July, 2005 as taken from their official site (now deleted) and showing over 10,000 actual deaths, can obtain these facsimiles directly from Mr. Harring by sending him an email message at: brianharring@yahoo.com ( As of October 10, 2006, Mr. Harring has sent out over 17,481 lists. Ed )

"The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. Even when weapons of war are not actually destroyed, their manufacture is still a convenient way of expending labour power without producing anything that can be consumed".

George Orwell, ‘1984’

“Whether war is a necessary factor in the evolution of mankind may be disputed, but a fact which cannot be questioned is that, from the earliest records of man to the present age, war has been his dominant preoccupation. There has never been a period in human history altogether free from war, and seldom one of more than a generation which has not witnessed a major conflict: great wars flow and ebb almost as regularly as the tides. This becomes more noticeable when a civilization ages and begins to decay, as seemingly is happening to our world-wide industrial civilization. Whereas but a generation or two back, war was accepted as an instrument of policy, it has now become policy itself.”

General J.F.C. Fuller, 1954

The Bush/Cheney Butcher’s Bill: Officially, 43 US Military Deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan from 1 October 2006 – 12 October 2006- Official Total of 3,038 US dead to date (and rising) The actual total of dead American military personnel is now over 15,000 and also rising and the number of seriously wounded is now ca 27,000. It should be noted that the death toll in October, 2006, is one of the highest to date. ed

by Brian Harring, Domestic Intelligence Reporter brianharring@yahoo.com

Mr. President, why don’t you pull out…like your father should have? Brian Harring

Note: There is excellent reason to believe that the Department of Defense is deliberately not reporting a significant number of the dead in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from the MATS that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than are reported officially. The actual death toll is in excess of 10,000. (See the official records at the end of this piece.) Given the officially acknowledged number of over 15,000 seriously wounded (and a published total of 25,000 wounded overall,), this elevated death toll is far more realistic than the current 2,000+ now being officially published. When our research is complete, and watertight, we will publish the results along with the sources In addition to the evident falsification of the death rolls, at least 5,500 American military personnel have deserted, most in Ireland but more have escaped to Canada and other European countries, none of whom are inclined to cooperate with vengeful American authorities. (See TBR News of 18 February for full coverage on the mass desertions) This means that of the 158,000 U.S. military shipped to Iraq, 26,000 deserted, were killed or seriously wounded. The DoD lists currently being very quietly circulated indicate over 12,000 dead, over 25,000 seriously wounded and a large number of suicides, forced hospitalization for ongoing drug usage and sales, murder of Iraqi civilians and fellow soldiers, rapes, courts martial and so on.

The government gets away with these huge lies because they claim, falsely, that only soldiers actually killed on the ground in Iraq are reported. The dying and critically wounded are listed as en route to military hospitals outside of the country and not reported on the daily postings. Anyone who dies just as the transport takes off from the Baghdad airport is not listed and neither are those who die in the US military hospitals. Their families are certainly notified that their son, husband, brother or lover was dead and the bodies, or what is left of them (refrigeration is very bad in Iraq what with constant power outages) are shipped home, to Dover AFB. This, we note, was the overall policy until very recently. Since it became well known that many had died at Landstuhl, in Germany, the DoD began to list a very few soldiers who had died at other non-theater locations. These numbers are only for show and are pathetically small in relationship to the actual figures. You ought to realize that President Bush personally ordered that no pictures be taken of the coffined and flag-draped dead under any circumstances. He claims that this is to comfort the bereaved relatives but is designed to keep the huge number of arriving bodies secret. Any civilian, or military personnel, taking pictures will be jailed at once and prosecuted. Bush has never attended any kind of a memorial service for his dead soldiers and never will. He is terrified some parent might curse him in front of the press or, worse, attack him. As Bush is a terrible physical coward and in a constant state of denial, this is not a surprise. "

Road Map to the Future

The paragraph which formerly appeared here has been removed as a result of some intensive research. I have come to the realization that the political players who APPEAR to run the show are complicit in and helped plan and orchestrate the evil condition that has befallen this once great nation. Do your own research. You might want to start with the "Angel is next" scenario that took place on 9/11, "Angel" of course being Air Force One. Then you might want to view the 4-part series of Martial Law 911.

"The "19 Arab hijackers" were just a cover story... dupes who were "handled", paid, trained and entertained by Black Ops agents just as Timothy McVeigh of OKC fame was, and for strikingly similar reasons. Mohammed Atta was trained at an Air Force base in Florida. At least 5 of the "hijackers" (who supposedly died on 9/11) are known to be alive and well. The names of NONE of the 19 appear on any flight manifest, and the "voice recordings" are cloned fakes. "Flight 77" which supposedly struck the Pentagon was not even an airplane. We may never know the precise fate of the passengers who were offloaded at an evacuated airport (other than the certainty that they are DEAD. The command and control center for the operation was not a cave in Afghanistan, but Building 7 at the World Trade Center. The players who planned and executed the disaster we refer to as "9/11" inhabit the highest echelons of banking, politics, and global corporate hegemony. Mr. Bush is allowed to continue to live and be President as long as he follows orders. JFK flatly refused "Operation Northwoods" (as well as other Illuminati schemes) and we all know what happened to him about a year later. Things could be a lot WORSE than the perilous and possibly hopeless situation we presently have with Iraq, Iran, N. Korea, China, Mexico, Venezuela, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon etc. We could all be dead or trying to survive a nuclear winter and radiation sickness. Or, if one General had not disobeyed orders, we would have been under martial law for the last five years.

Martial Law 911: The Rise of the Police State

So without further delay, here is an exerpt from Historic Christianity (which is a favorite blog I read when I can find the time), written by a fine gentleman and scholar, Jack H.

Paganism is every religion but one. The Mystery is every religion but one. The worship of the Dragon is every religion but one. The Deceiver has been climbing the mountain and clawing at the throne of God since before the fiery stones of Eden dimmed and grew cool. The goddess whored after all the crowns of the true God. The pagans ransacked true prophecy, and offered in their "goddess" a false virgin, a false mediator, a false Spirit; the only thing she could not be called was "God the Father", and she got around that by being called "Mother Goddess". And so with the child of paganism: false seed and branch, false mediator and savior, false victor and judge.

In Is 66:17, we read of the One, and the abomination, and the mouse, and the eating of swine's flesh. We have here the false father, the false spirit, and the false son. We even have the false communion supper, in the eating of pig flesh: cannibals have informed us that human flesh has the same taste as pork, so much so that they call man "the long pig". We might be thankful that later pagans were so refined in their tastes as to refrain from ritually consumed human flesh, but we can certainly see why such rites were abhorrent to the godly.

We have already heard what God has to say about all this, as when we read of the Image of Jealousy (Ezek 8:3). God is jealous because that which is His has been stolen and twisted. But more than jealousy, I think God feels grief. We are only told explicitly of a few of the emotions which Jesus felt. He felt anger, we are told, and sorrow and deep distress, and love. And we know that Jesus wept. He wept over lost Jerusalem. He wept not at the victory of the Adversary, but at the damage he does in meeting his defeat.

I think that Satan has never read the Bible. I think he knows some parts of it, just enough to twist the meaning. Like every cultist, Satan gets the context wrong. (Note from your host: Satan is the prototypical Charismatic leader) I think that Satan thinks he can win — not in his deepest heart, but in his mind, he thinks that he can somehow pull it off. Hitler in his bunker was making plans for his victory.
________

Do you imagine angelic psychology is much different than human? Subtract the influence of childhood, and they must have very much in common with us. That they have maturity where we are still in our infancy, is a detail that will diminish in effect in the coming millenia. That they cannot know death is merely the fate of those Christians who will be Raptured – and in any case, even those of us who go through that temporary separation from our bones will eventually have an eternity separating us from that one-time trauma. We have very much in common with angels – being both higher and lower than they, it might average out to about equal.

Given this, Satan’s motivations are not impenetrable. He has an ego. This is a condition of which you know nothing? I doubt it. He is spiteful. Anyone who has watched children at play must be aware of this emotion. The great difference now, is that he has power to harm, and we have power only to ask for protection. Send us a Michael, O Lord. But their battles are beyond our perceptions. Ignorance is our assurance of contentment.

We are children, sorely in need of protection. The world is harsh and our only comfort seems to be in believing we are safe. Certainly we are not safe, physically. Everyone dies. Not safe. If we can extract some happiness from our lives, then we will be happy. But it must be a precarious happiness, relying on unseen fences and protectors of whom we are only told. But we are told, and we must draw comfort from this. In another place, I have written how even the heavens declare the beginning and the end. This biblical phrase refers not only to nature, but to what has been imposed upon nature, by prophets - the constellations. My point is that this message, so clear when it is clearly expressed, has been twisted most contemptably, whether by design or accident. Again, what was meant for protection was used for harm. We mustn't listen to liars. We mustn't be deceived. Every little child must hold his father's hand when troubling strangers approach.

Well, I’m just making this up as I go along. Hope I’m not boring you. There’s more to say, if you can stand it.

6. Satan As Tapeworm

This is the penultimate installment of my look at the reality of mythology and its relevance for the possibly near-future - extracted from the final chapter of my The Serpent in Babel. We've looked at the corporal return of Jesus, the social changes that facilitate conditions for the Antichrist, the political situation that promises the rise of a literal Babylon, and the historical factors that have brought us where we find ourselves. Didn't think it was that organized, did you. I'll leave it for you to catagorize the following.

____________

I have saved one last piece of mythology — regarding Nimrod. The annals of China reach back to Babel itself. Reports that the history of China is unbroken are simply incorrect, given the mas­sive book-burnings of Emperor Tsin-shi-hoang (246-209 bc), in which virtually all the ancient tomes were destroyed. Some books were recov­ered from the memory of an old scholar, and others are said to have been pre­served in the tomb of Confucius — but given their murky pro­venance, these must be counted as secondary records.

Be that as it may, traditions which refer to the most an­cient times tell of a famous woman, "the mother of the king of the west." (Annals of the Bamboo Books, Legge, Vol. 3, pp. 114‑115.) She was the mother of the world's first king, who had black skin. He was named Shun, and his father was Chusou or Kusou. Do these cha­racters sound familiar? They are Semiramis, Nimrod, and Cush. The point is that this king, Shun / Nimrod [always represented as black], was said to have eyes which shone "doubly bright" — an indica­tion of demonic possession.

The serpent winds round not just trees, not just temples, but men as well. Nimrod seems to have been such a man. If Hindu gurus shine with reflected light, beguiling fools into calling them holy men, how much more the High Priest and King of Baby­lon?

Judas was a thief, in a position of great trust, as treasurer. We know he went out and worked miracles, with all the other pairs of disci­ples. We know that his feet were washed by Jesus Himself, and that he ate at the Lord's table, and took bread from His hands. And it may indeed be that Satan actually went into Judas, just before the final betrayal (Lk 22:3, Jn 13:27). Afterwards, Judas went and hanged himself.

And it is my conviction that Hitler was such a man — if not possessed by Satan himself, then certainly possessed by some un­derling, and a willing ally of Satan. In his youth, one of the only two books which Hitler was known to have actually stud­ied was a child's storybook on the Nordic gods and heroes. A part of his personal library as Fuhrer was recovered after World War II, and among those books which give evidence of having been well-studied — alongside racist pamphlets, tracts on pseudo­science, and pornographic books and films — were stories about Wotan and the Germanic pan­theon, and books about magic symbols and the occult. (R.G.L. Waite, The Psychopathic God: Adolph Hitler (NY: Basic Books, 1977), pp. 69‑70, 270.)

During Hitler's youth in Vienna, he sought out the publisher of an occult magazine, Ostara — one Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels, who wrote articles in favor of polygamy for "pure blooded Aryans" and forced sterilization for "inferi­or" races — and of extermination of non-Aryans in Germany. (Much of the information contained in this and the following two para­graphs is abstracted from N. Goodrick-Clarke, The Occult Roots of Nazism, Secret Aryan Cults and Their influence on Nazi Ideology - NY: New York University Press, 1992.) Lanz was founder of the racist "Order of the New Templars," and authored the amusingly titled Theo-Zoology or the Lore of the Sodom-Apelings and the Electron of the Gods, which taught that Jesus was the last of a super race which had cohabited with beasts to form a sub-human race (an idea indebted to Madam Blavatsky and her Theosophy), and that modern man was the remnant of these gods, with Aryans the purest.

Prior to WW I, the rising interest in the occult led to the formation in Austria and Germany of a number of "Ariosophic" societies, which focused on the idea of a "pure" human race, somehow imbued with special worth. One such pathologically anti-semitic secret order, the Germanenorden, practiced intricate occult ceremonials until its leadership devolved upon the wealthy Rudolf Freiherr von Sebottendorff (Rudolf Blauer), who changed its name to the "Thule Society", espousing the doctrine of ancient wisdom guarded by super-human masters who could be contacted by rituals and might deign to endow supplicants with prodigious power.

The society was recast as a political group aimed at destabilizing the Weimar Republic — indeed, the head of the Weimar government, Kurt Eisner, was assassinated by a confederate of the Thule Society, and in 1919 Thule trained troops fought against the communists who briefly took control of Bavaria. Von Sebottendorff broadened membership by disguising the occult aspect of the Thule Society, backing the formation of a racist, working class front organiza­tion, the German Workers Party (DAP). This is the group which Hitler transformed into the Nazi party: he recruited Thule members Rudolf Hess and Alfred Rosenberg, assumed ownership of the Thule socie­ty's weekly newspaper, and even used the Thule insignia, the swastika.

Hitler was certainly deeply influenced by racial lore, and his interest in the occult is well-document­ed, despite his public rejection and ridicule of the crasser pseudo-history of the Aryan mystics and such esoteric movements as Free Masonry, Theosophy and Anthrosophy. (Indeed, rejecting occult groups was sound not simply for reasons of respectability, but for security, given that MI 5 had a special Occult Bureau.) Vril, Zen, Sufi, Tibetan and similar influences are widely documented, and even if exaggerated, demonstrate a distinct pattern. Enduring reports exist of the Nazi plan to re-introduce worship of the Nordic pantheon, as a national Neo-Paganism. One of Nazi Germany's laws was that the cross be removed from all churches, replaced by the "immortal" sign of the swasti­ka. This paganism is even clearer in the case of Himmler, who made an Aryan guru, Karl Maria Wiligut, an SS Brigadier (until 1939, when his commitment in the 1920's to a mental institu­tion discredit­ed him). Wewelsburg Castle in Westphalia, which served as SS headquarters, was planned to be a Nazi Vatican, and was used as a temple where solstice rituals devised by Wiligut were per­formed.

Indeed, Hitler is claimed as an adherent of the anti-semitic occultic cabal of Theosophy. Foster Bailey, husband of Alice Bailey (third leader of that movement, after Blavatsky and Besant), wrote in 1972: “One attempt [at unifying Europe] was to begin by uniting the peoples living in the Rhine river valley using that river as a binding factor. It was an attempt by a disciple but did not work.” (Quoted in Cumbey, p. 88; emphasis added.) Who was this failing "disciple"? Hmm. Now, this in itself would be of only passing interest, until we remember what the man did. I have no problem believing that a man, without the aid of the supernatu­ral, could be as evil as Hitler was — yet it is my conviction that he was a specific tool of Satan who was trying to finish a task he set himself before mankind had Fallen.

Aside from Judas, Satan may possess that antichrist called the Beast. He will follow the pattern of Nimrod — and Hitler — as reli­gious and polit­ical leader, and conqueror, and tyrant. Since Nimrod's attempt to con­trol the entire world, similar attempts have been made, by Sesostris III of Egypt, by Sargon I of Akkad, by Hammu­rabi of Old Babylon, by Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria, by Nebu­chadnezzer II of Chaldea; by the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, and even the French and the Germans. None has succeed­ed. The Beast will succeed, for a time — just as Nimrod did. And like Nimrod, the Beast will meet his end in harsh judgment.

It is not for nothing that the myth of the hydra was in­vented, of a monster all but impos­sible to slay. After the conquest of Bab­y­lon and the death of Belshaz­zar, the Per­sians exiled the Chaldean priesthood, which settled in the new cultic center of Pergamos — which for this reason is called Satan's seat (Rev 2:13). The god-king there smiled on this circum­stance, and the pagans proceeded as usu­al. The last king of Per­gamos, Atta­lus III (138-133), willed his titles and dominions to Rome, and so the office of Pontifex Maximus, High Priest of the Babylo­nian system, devolved eventu­ally upon Julius Cae­sar, and thence to the Emperors, and fi­nally to the Popes. If the forms are so dif­ficult to exorcise, how much more the spirit?

The pattern of corruption set in Nimrod's time will hold in the future, as well. Just as Cush and Nimrod were the false prophet and the false messiah at Babel, so we are told (Rev 16:13 & 19:20) of the coming Beast and his prophet; and we find the whore, as well. And always behind the deceit is the Dragon, sprawling out from Eden, through Babel, through Rome, across the ages — woven in the branches of the Tree, coiled around the tiers of the Tower.
So there it is. Ready ... set ...

As I've said, don't panic. Balance and common sense. If you're "saved," you'll be celebrating at a wedding supper. If you're not, what are you worrying about? - you don't believe it anyway. And if you do believe it, but still aren't saved - well, I found myself in that very state, once upon a time. Allow me to commend to you the virtue of humility. Asking for help is a good way to get it. Same with salvation.

Well, I won't toy with your emotions any more. Was I cruel, to taunt you so? Maybe there's more, and maybe not. Hahaha! Just one last part and I'm done. Seeya.


Maybe. Hahaha!

7. The Place of Refuge

So much, about Satan. He must really be important or something. How uncomfortable. I suppose we could just not think about it. But let’s return to the subject one last time.

_____

The spirit of antichrist has been loose since the fall of Satan. It is loose today. The evil of the world is not the sole product of Satan and his cohort — men queue up to debase themselves — but behind some of the wickedness (if I may use such a quaint term) is not the random depravity of undiscerning people, but a concerted effort to work against the will of God. This is what we have, at least in part, in the false religions which we have been examining in this work.

But in the time of the Tribulation, the work of antichrist will come into full fruit. The deception of that time will be supernatural. The gullibility of fools has always been exploited, but at this time it will be confirmed. The evil that men do just because they are fallen will be magnified, beyond all experience. Hitler's camps were just a rehearsal for what is to come. The surface of the globe will be a single, vast killing field.

The times in which we are living are fertile soil for the apostasy of the end times. The rise of the occult, the interest in astrology and tarot, the fascination with crystals and pyramids, the self-actualization fads and the New Age cults, the acceptance of reincarnation and the obsession with UFOs — these are the very tenets of the new, the neo-paganism which has surmounted the horizon and is already here.

Every prophet meets one of two fates. He is either like Jeremiah, ignored, grieving to see the doom of those he loves, or he is like Jonah, believed, witness to a vast repentance and revival. For my part, I am no prophet, but I know the future. As an American I live at the heart of a great cultural empire. And I pray that my nation will repent and turn away from the horror which it is becoming. But because I am a dour man, I expect the fate of Jeremiah, more than Jonah.

Yet I may well be wrong in my melancholy. The time may be prolonged. The pagans may be held off. Satan's puppet for this time may have to be discarded, and another selected again, as with Nimrod, and Hitler, and perhaps Alexander and Napoleon. The abomination to be enacted in the rebuilt Temple of Jerusalem has been planned or attempted before, by Antiochus Epiphanes, by Caligula, by Titus. They could not enact Satan's agenda, and this gives us cause for hope. It is certain that the time of trouble will come, but as to when we cannot say.

In the meantime, each of us has two responsibilities — first to be saved, and second to tell the lost world about salvation. These two responsibilities are really the same thing: loving God. I mean the true God, who saves us not out of justice (getting what we deserve), not out of mercy (not getting what we deserve), but out of grace (getting what we do not deserve).

As for the true God, I hear the jaded voice of another Roman, who uttered the flat words, "What is truth?" He did not know that we do not define truth, we demonstrate it. The Truth was before him, and he did not know it. And so I shudder for the fate of America, and the world. But as for you, my friend, who have plowed through these many words to arrive here — there is no need for me to shudder for you. You have heard the truth, it has been placed before you, and if you are not yet saved, you can be. If you are not saved, put aside your faith in yourself — which is the core of every religion but one — and trust Jesus. Is it that simple? Well, is simple a problem? Should it be harder? Is there some special virtue in the complex? Is the grotesque more beautiful that the elegant?

Yes — it is that simple.

In the code of laws handed down through Moses, a man who caused an accidental death was vulnerable to the justice, the vengeance, of the victim's family (Num 35:9-34). The only mercy he could hope for was the haven of the nearest city of refuge, to which he could flee. But if he ever left that city, he was subject to immediate execution by the relatives. There was no advocate to whom the fugitive might appeal — no clever arguments or clouding of the issue, no moronic juries to vote their feelings instead of the facts. There is no price, no bribe, no ransom which would remove the blood from the land. Remember Ps 49:7-8: “None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him — for the redemption of their souls is costly . . .” Only upon the death of the High Priest was the blood-guilt lifted. Only then could the fugitive return, free from fear of reprisal. The victim's family could no longer claim the price of his blood.

There is a ruler who takes what is worthless and counterfeit, and redeems it. There is a victim of your carelessness who not only forgives you but undoes the harm. There is an Advocate who is the Son of the Judge, and when he steps forward to speak for you, justice and mercy have no place — only grace. Our High Priest has died, and we are free. And He lives, and we are saved. No dismembered corpse of Osiris, no whoring Ishtar chasing after a missing penis, no bastard Horus-child squirming in the seat of the King. Only the truth.

No mere man can redeem his brother, nor ransom away our bondage — we do not have the resources to pay so great a price. But God would give us peace, for “this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all . . .” (1 Tim 2:3 6)

That's how my book, The Serpent in Babel, ends. The End. You didn't have to plow through those many words. If you had, I'd feel free to call you my friend - your patience and interest would have endeared you to me. In any event, I hope there's something of worth even in these not- quite- so- many words. Is there anything else to say? Yes.

We've read of the dark flowering of evil and the killing field it would make of the earth. So many noxious growths, there are. Too bad there isn't some way to foretell what will be poisonous and what will make us hale. But there isn't, when the seed is souls and how they respond to truth. Alas, some seed doesn’t spout and bear good fruit. Some seed is just birdfood. But we cannot know which, until the end. The earth, however, is not yet what for a time it will be. So we tend the garden as best we can, and shoo away the birds when we are able, and prune away what is unhealthy that the stalk and stem may flourish. Maybe something lovely will grow.

Norma McCorvey. Do you recognize the name? Perhaps you know her by another name. Jane Roe. Of Roe v. Wade – the Supreme Court case that struck down all regulation of abortion in the US. Sometime around '94 I saw her interviewed by Tom Snyder on his late night interview program. She was working at an abortion counseling center, and Operation Rescue, a pro-life Christian group, had moved into the next office. I recall she laughed and sneered at their hammering on the walls, pretending to be hanging pictures when it was so clear to her that they were just trying to harass the pro-choicers. I remember she made allusions to her wiccan faith or the goddess or some such. I remember Tom Snyder encouraging her, ending with, “Don’t let the bastards get you down.” She smiled and said, “Oh no, I won’t.”

Some months later I heard that she had become Christian, and was working with Operation Rescue. It is a secret, but I’m a passionate guy … don’t spread it around. So I sat there and sobbed like a little girl. Norma McCorvey has found her city of refuge, where lovely things grow. What more is there to say.

The Virtue of Intolerance


The following material is exerpted from an article that appeared several years ago in a publication called The Resister, The Political Warfare Journal of the Special Forces Underground. It was written by retired and active duty Special Forces officers, and was a "clandestine" publication. Its content and philosophy are truly timeless wisdom. It is sure to rattle the chains of the politically correct droids trained in our government schools over the past thirty years.

So without further delay here it is:





THE VIRTUE OF INTOLERANCE

Although we are growing a little weary of the incessant attempts by tribalist pressure groups and extortion rackets to label The Resister as "racist" and "extremist;" yet so long as those groups persist, (groups whose sole purpose is to implement fully nondiscriminatory egalitarianism ( which by definition demands the abandonment of all objective standards of value) we will continue to expose their agenda for what it is: the desire to destroy the good because it is good. The specific method employed by these gangs is an appeal to "tolerance" for "others." The "others" referred to in all cases are, of course, themselves. Their specific demands, in the name of "tolerance," are the silencing of any discourse on the immorality of their ideas, the suspension of any judgment on the consequence of their ideas (their actions), and the criminalization of any "discrimination" against them (in other words, freedom of thought and freedom of association.)
In the vocabulary of tribalist-collectivists "tolerance" means surrender to and acceptance of any whim-based act or wish-based demand that advances their goal of standardless, valueless egalitarianism. In short, their demand for "tolerance" is nothing less than a demand for moral and ethical agnosticism; a demand that no judgement- no distinction- ever be drawn between good and evil.
"Tolerance" is yet another anti-concept that tribalists and collectivists demand be accepted without question. As an anti-concept the word "tolerance" evokes an emotional response, not reasoned thought. "Tolerance" demands that primitive behavior be equally accepted as civilized behavior. It demands that immoral behavior be equally accepted as moral behavior, that lies be equally valid as truth, and that irrationality be equally regarded as reason. In other words, "tolerance" means nothing less than endangering that which is good for the sake of that which is evil in the name of "hope" for "understanding." The undefined sub-categories of "tolerance" include the terms "diversity," which means compromise, and "inclusive," which means standardless. "Tolerance" therefore is nothing more than a feel-good term for appeasement.
The decretum: "Judge not, that ye be not judged..." is a baseless demand that man abandon all standards of value and morality and surrender his mind to the first mystic or whim worshiper who whines "who are you to judge?" That appeal contends that there is nothing to know, there is no reality, and therefore there are no absolutes to which an individual must adhere. It means the abandonment of principles, upon which individual judgment is based, and the renouncement of standards against which principled judgment is gauged.
No rational man should ever hesitate to pass moral judgment on the irrational, the immoral or the evil. A rational man has a responsibility to himself, in respect for himself and the truth, to champion the rational, the moral and the good. All issues have exactly two sides; one is the truth and the other is a lie. Any compromise of the truth, any middle ground, any appeasement of untruth is an unspeakable evil. The man who adheres to a lie may still have some respect for the truth
if he accepts responsibility for his choice. However, a man who compromises the truth to seek a "consensus," or abdicates the truth to find a "middle ground," a compromise, or to appease, is a coward and a blackguard who shuts out the truth in order to pretend that he has no choice in the matter and that no values exist.
Advocates of " tolerance" are mystics who contend that the subject requiring "tolerance" must be forgiven anything and that morality can be dismissed completeIy if only we have enough love and understanding for the criminal or the depraved.
Some broad examples. When Mexican peasants swarm across our Southern border, demanding the "right" to be parasites, and then further demand that Spanish be as equally recognized as the English language, they are demanding that their criminal presence, the redistribution of wealth they could not conceive of creating themselves and their degradation of a language they refuse to learn, be regarded with "tolerance." When street savages riot, loot and burn their own neighborhoods we must "tolerate" their savagery
because they behave like savages. Homosexuals must be "tolerated" because they are sexual perverts. Feminist demands for undeserved egalitarianism must be "tolerated" because they cannot demonstrate equal merit.
In each of the above examples "tolerance" means the appeasement of criminality, savagery, perversion and meritlessness for no other purpose than the destruction of the regard for law, civilization, and objective standards of morality. A failure to pass objective moral judgment on subjective immoral actions, statements and beliefs is a surrender to immorality, lies, and irrationality.
"Tolerance" is not a virtue. It is a surrender of virtue; a compromise of integrity, a moral appeasement to the willfully evil. "Tolerance" is an abandonment of philosophical principle in favor of psychological mysticism.
The decretum: "Judge not, that ye be not judged..." is an unconscionable submission to compromise and appeasement. Our decretum is: "We, judge, and are prepared to be judged."
Intolerance of irrationality, compromise and appeasement is unquestionably virtuous.

_Melancton Smith

Well... there it is. I suppose the mindless liberal droids will choke on it, call me a "troll", a bigot, a hate monger, a right-wing extremist... the usual name-calling drivel and response from those who lack the intellectual wherewithal, mental discipline, and/or character to have an intelligent discussion. Hm-m-m... I just remembered a quote from an "old" book that was popular 20 or 30 years ago. Its title was "Atlas Shrugged". The general drift of it was that the libs despoil all that is good and will inherit the mess they have promoted. They deserve it. Or, to put it another way, they have sown the wind and will reap the whirlwind.

Dinosaur Hammers & Crackpot Evolutionists

  • Exposing the Myth of Evolution

  • Problems With A Global Flood?

  • Evolutionists Get Hammered

  • For anyone reading this who thinks I need to get my head examined, or who hasn't been paying attention & reading between the lines, here's an important point to consider before you start flaunting your ignorant faith in "evolution": The rate
    at which the Earth's magnetic field is deteriorating indicates that the Earth couldn't be more than about 10,000 to 25,000 years old, depending on whether you assume (wrong!) a steady rate of decline or acknowledge the sudden decline in field strength at the time of the Flood. If the earth was as old as the "evolutionists" would lead us to believe, the sun's magnetic flux would have destroyed the earth's protective magnetic shield (and burnt the earth to a crisp) billions of years before life ever had a prayer of "evolving". So stop worrying about "greenhouse gasses" and "those evil SUV's" and get yourself a reality check. You are being controlled and manipulated for sinister purposes by those who manipulate the cost and availability of energy for their own megalomaniacal purposes. They will have their "New World Order" under Satan, with themselves as "Lords of this planet" regardless of how many souls it costs. They regard you and I as "dumb cattle" and "evolution" is the Infinitely Stupid Ideological Doctrine (ISID) which renders humans "easily controllable". According to God's plan & timetable, 1000 years from now, this planet will be "toast", (partly and indirectly because of loss of magnetic field strength but DIRECTLY as a result of God's judgement on sin) regardless of what is or is not done about "fossil fuels and SUV's." God put "fossil fuels" here (they were produced in the aftermath of and as a DIRECT result of the Flood) to be USED and God intends to burn this planet up and replace it with a new Earth (wherein dwelleth righteousness) 1000 years from now. So it's no big deal if we USE the fuels God provided for us to use. Even if we used up all the coal, oil, and natural gas, there's still hydrogen fuel cells, nuclear energy, and all kinds of "weird science" as sources for energy. God created the Earth to be INHABITED (not a wilderness!) and "inhabitation" requires lots of energy. It is Satan's (and Al Gore's!) plan, not God's plan, to make the world "as a wilderness".
    The Earth's magnetic field strength (and hence the Earth's capacity to protect us from harmful radiation) prior to Noah's Flood was 8 to 10 times what it is now, and carbon dioxide (and oxygen!) levels were also much higher. The atmospheric CO2 level is NOT the boogeyman that our controllers lead us to believe it is, and NOT the cause of "global warming" (which is a result of 1. cyclical solar fluctuations and 2. changes in magnetic shield strength.) CO2 is the crowbar used by the megalomaniacs to separate America from her prosperity and her sovereignty, so that there will be only ONE global government, and no freedom for anybody. He who controls the ENERGY controls the nation, and the world. The "global warming" propaganda and "environmental studies" are funded by the megalomaniacs through their network of "grants" and tax-exempt foundations. If you buy their garbage, you should also invest in Arizona beachfront property.

    Our present world is a junkyard in comparison to the pre-flood world. Every ancient culture recalled a lost epoch of awe and wonder -- the Golden Age, before the Fall of Man. This Golden Age did not last, giving way to devastating upheaval, The Flood. If you really want to understand the ancient world, look to the two great motives shared by every culture: the yearning for a return to Paradise, and the fear that Judgement will occur again. Make no mistake about it. Judgement is coming. The most important questions you will ever answer in this life were asked 2000 years ago by Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate: "Who do you say that I am?" and "What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? Your eternal destiny hangs on your answers to those questions. "I don't know" will not be accepted as an answer on the test.

    One favorite "factoid" used by evolutionists to "refute" the Biblical account of the worldwide flood in the days of Noah is the "fact" that Jericho was built over 10,000 years ago and "there are no Flood sediments in its basement level". This is typical of the many circular arguments and faulty assumptions used by evolutionists. They assume that Jericho existed at the time of the Flood. It didn't. They assume that since Jericho is below sea level, a worldwide flood never happened. ( 1. It hadn't been built yet, and 2. The later local floods of "ancient cities" occurred when polar ice melt after the Flood raised water levels [above the continental shelf!] and the Mediterranean Basin was flooded, and later, the Black Sea basin.) They assume that Mount Everest existed at the time of the Flood, and that if it rained enough to cover Mt. Everest, the latent heat of condensation would have cooked the world. (1.) Mount Everest wasn't there, and (2.) all of the water didn't come from rain. The break-up of "all of the fountains of the deep" described in Genesis is the ONLY possible explanation for the large deposits of chalk found in various places around the world, and shows the intellectual poverty of the ISID (Infinitely Stupid Ideological Doctrine) promoted by crackpot evolutionists. Dr. Hovind's material available HERE thoroughly shows the lunacy of these evolutionist assertions. The following is exerpted from a piece available at: http://theageofbasemetal.blogspot.com/
    Dates marked by an asterisk are fictional evo-years. I am forever indebted to the host of the site for providing the key information refuting the evolutionist notions of the age of ancient Jericho.

    The "logic" used by evolutionists in dating the ancient cultures of the East as "Early Bronze", "Middle Bronze", etc., is the same "logic" used by evolutionists in dating arrowheads. For more on this topic, click this link:
  • Things That Make Evolutionists Look Stupid


  • In Joshua 8:17, we are told that, allied with the men of Ai, all the men of Bethel went “out after Israel, and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.” Ai was destroyed as we have just seen, and from Joshua 12:16 we may infer that Bethel was too. This destruction of Bethel is found in the archeological record, where the MB IIA city was destroyed. Indeed, traces of blood were still to be found under the ruined city gate. Again, notice that Ai was destroyed in EB times and not rebuilt, yet according to the witness of the Bible, both Ai and MB IIA Bethel were destroyed at the same time. (Note to the reader: this is evidence of the CONCURRENT RATHER THAN CONSECUTIVE chronology of these cultures.)

    Jericho EB III-MB IIB

    Jericho was the most notable of the EB cities. Thanks to the excavations of Kathleen Kenyon, this city is one of the best known of the ancient world, having been explored all the way down to virgin soil. Rather than causing any embarrassment to my reconstruction, the facts of archeology brilliantly support it.

    Jericho must have been settled not too long after the Dispersion of Babel (2192 bc), and the remains of this earliest settlement are labeled "Mesolithic". There followed a "Neolithic" village (c. 2130? / c. *8000 bc) with a massive stone wall. This first of Jericho's walls was most likely built as a response to the invasion of Nimrod. Although Jericho is said to be more than 10,000 years old, this is just a myth of modernism. The millennia may be telescoped into mere decades and centuries. The 17 phases of the city do not represent any natural, snail's-pace dilapidation, but instead the frequent rebuilding and expansions of a dynamic culture which existed in a time of cyclic cataclysms. Rather than multiple millennia, the rebuildings occurred on average every 41 years, over a period of almost 700 years — from the Confusion at Babel until the conquest of Joshua. It is interesting to note that the walls of Jericho were built in sections, apparently in an attempt to minimize earthquake damage. It takes no effort whatsoever to recognize the role of earthquakes in the conquest of Jericho by Joshua.
    The final destruction of EB III Jericho is supposed to have been due to the Amorites, but this reconstruction recognizes this level of Jericho as that of Rahab the harlot, who had lived in the very (casement) walls which were thrown down during the siege of Joshua. In the excavations of Jericho performed in the 1930's, Professor Garstang uncovered “the final phase of the wall that had surrounded the Early Bronze Age town about *2350 bc.” (Kenyon, 1987, p. 73.) This wall had burned and collapsed: “The seventeenth [wall] was destroyed by a raging fire, and its destruction marks the end of the Early Bronze Age town . . .” (Kenyon, 1967, p. 27.) Wood had been piled up against the outside of the wall and burned, and the ashes were still to be found by the excavators—we find this detail in Josh 6:24. (Note that this is known Hebrew custom, since Gideon and his host broke fire-pots on the night of their attack against Midian [Jdg 7:16], and King Abimelech heaped firewood against the walls of Shechem [Jdg 9:49].) Of all the levels of Jericho, this last EB city perfectly matches that which suffered its fate under the hand of Joshua. The standard paradigm forbids such an identification, but our reconstruction shows that the archeological data and the biblical record are in close harmony.
    Some 9 feet (2.75 meters) of silt accumulated on the mound before the next settlement proper was built. This silt should be the product of the unsettled weather of this era of the Long Day — being wind-blown loess and so on. During the interim, the tell was a camp for nomads, who left considerable debris; the absence of any significant MB I or IIA strata is explained away as the work of erosion (Kenyon, 1979, p. 993; Kenyon, 1987, p. 73). During the period of the Judges — MB IIB — a great "Hyksos" rampart was constructed, typical of the times. There is so little evidence for an actual MB settlement, however, that this gateless, ‘great earth bank’ is no contradiction to Joshua’s curse (6:26; cf 1K 16:34) upon the entirely different casement wall that lay fallen before him. As for the Late Bronze city which is imagined to be that of Joshua, there are “very few traces of occupation above the Middle Bronze Age defenses.” (Kenyon, 1987a).
    On another track...
    Man and dino co-existence would extend the timeline for man back 150 million years in "mystical materialistic time". This would prove devasting to the religion of evolutionism, although I believe they would simply make radical adjustments.
    Though the dino tracks (in the Paluxy River Bed in Glen Rose, Texas, for instance) are real, perhaps the human prints were later 'clever carvings' (wink wink!) by Indians (who must have gotten around other states a lot... ).
    Recent research, however, has shown that they CONTINUE under a shale bank ("older than mankind", in magical mystical evo-time) bulldozed away, and paleontologists like Dr. Camp of the University of California and Dr. G. Wescott of Ypsilanti, Michigan, have pronounced them genuine. Many a brain-dead evolutionist will dismiss this inconvenient fact and continue on the broad path that leads to destruction. He chooses to be "dumb on purpose", or what the Bible refers to in II Peter 3 as "willingly ignorant". He will go to any extreme to deny the idea that he is ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD.
    Scores of other similar finds have come in: human skulls in the Pliocene strata; pollen and anthropods in Pre-Cambrian layers; even pictographs of a dinosaur among other animals on ancient canyon walls, which would knock some 70 million years out of the "geologic column" (ANOTHER FAVORITE FANTASY OF EVOLUTIONISTS) and a lot of hot air out of evolutionist gas bags.

    Evolutionists scoff at the notion that humans and dinosaurs ever coexisted. Yet, the evidence clearly shows that they did. You can find evidence by clicking this link and scrolling down to various archaeological finds: Man Amidst the Dinosaurs

    Evolutionists claim that there is a "65 million year gap in the fossil record". Whence cometh the thousands of ancient carvings depicting dinosaurs, then? Were they carved by dinosaurs? If so, then how did the dinosaurs know what a human looked like? Evolutionists ignore the evidence or classify it as "anomalous". Perhaps "anomalous" really means "my brains are scrambled and I can't think straight".
    A fossilized iron hammer with a partially coalified wooden handle has been found firmly embedded in "Cretaceous" rock strata. (Photo above) The composition of the iron indicates it was produced by a technology far beyond the best modern iron-making technologies. Was it manufactured by dinosaurs, then? "Humans had not yet "evolved", according to evolutionists. This unique iron hammer with partially coalified wooden handle was found in Lower Cretaceous Limestone, supposedly 140 million years old (the time of the dinosaurs, according to evolutionists). According to evolutionary theory, this hammer must have been made by dinosaurs.

    Consider that in 1983, researchers reported in the science and engineering news section of The Moscow News that they had discovered what appeared to be a human footprint in "150-million-year-old" "Jurassic rock", next to a giant, three-toed dinosaur footprint. The article stated:

    This spring, an expedition from the Institute of Geology of the Turkmen SSR Academy of Sciences found over 1,500 tracks left by dinosaurs in the mountains in the southeast of the Republic [Turkmen Republic—BH/BT]. Impressions resembling in shape a human footprint were discovered next to the tracks of prehistoric animals (see “Tracking Dinosaurs,” 1983, 24:10).

    Naturally, this report has received precious little attention, given the mindset of evolutionists.

    For the sake of brevity, here's a brief summary of what happened in the days of Noah.

    1. Noah, his family and the animals got safely into the Ark.
    2. A minus-three hundred to 400 degrees Fahrenheit ice meteor came flying through space. As it got closer to some of the planets, gravitational pull caused it to accelerate and become unstable, and it broke apart, some of the fragments forming rings around the planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune).
    3. As it got close to the Earth, a disproportionate amount of the magnetically charged ice particles were sucked into the North and South polar regions, and the Earth was snowed on with 300 to 400 degree below zero snow, mostly around the Poles. A lot of it would vaporize coming through the atmosphere, but just like you can spray a hose right through the middle of a fire, much of the super-cold precipitation made it through the atmosphere.
    4.This dump of ice on the North and South Poles caused the granite crust of Earth to crack, releasing the Fountains of the Deep, caused the Earth to wobble on its axis from the extra weight on the polar regions, and the ice began to spread out, producing the glacier effects that we still see today. It caused the burial of the mammoths, suffocating them and freezing them solid, standing up, in less than five hours with food still in their mouths and stomachs. This dump of ice caused the Earth to wobble for a few thousand years, and made the water canopy that formerly protected the Earth collapse. The granite crust of the Earth cracked, and the half-mile thick layer of water under the 10-mile thick granite crust came shooting out under the pressure exerted by the weight of ten miles of rock, and brought out enormous quantities of sediments with it. It shot 20,000 feet up into the atmosphere, producing torrential rain for 40 days and nights.
    5. During the first few months of the Flood, the dead animals were sorted out and buried according to their density and streamlining, and plants were also buried. Without continents to impede the tides, tidal flows ran 200 feet high at tremendous speeds, contributing to the sorting and erosion of sediments. The large accumulations of plants became coal, and animals became oil, natural gas, or fossils, depending on the conditions under which they were buried.
    6. During the last part of the Flood, the unstable plates of the Earth moved around and tilted, with thin areas sinking down to form the bottom of the oceans, and other areas being pushed up to form the continents, canyons and mountain ranges. The run-off caused enormous erosion. The Grand Canyon probably formed in less than two weeks.
    7. Over the next few hundred years, the ice caps slowly melted, raising the ocean levels slowly, and causing the "Continental Shelf". Rising water levels determined the locations of continental shorelines. There was no "Pangaea". Some animals (such as kangaroos) , advancing into new territories ahead of predators, found themselves cut off and protected by rising water levels from the melting ice caps.

    The absorption of carbon dioxide by the cold water resulted in a shortening of life-spans of humans in the days of Peleg (because of increased radiation). The loss of the water canopy and loss of "greenhouse gasses" weakened the earth's protective shield that formerly protected it from harmful radiation.

    Historical Records of Flying Reptiles

    Additional evidence for the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs is derived from various ancient writings. For instance, the largest creature ever known to have soared in the skies above the Earth was a pterosaur identified as Quetzalcoatlus (KWET-zal-COAT-lus). The fossil bones of one of these flying reptiles were unearthed in 1972 at Big Bend National Park in Texas. This Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 48 feet (which is longer than some small airplanes!). While these giant birds are not classified scientifically as dinosaurs (since they are not strictly land-dwelling creatures, as dinosaurs were, by definition), they often are lumped into a group of animals known as “dinosaur-like” creatures. Notice the following quotation taken from Herodotus, a Greek historian from the fifth century B.C., who wrote:

    There is a place in Arabia...to which I went, on hearing of some winged serpents; and when I arrived there, I saw bones and spines of serpents, in such quantities as it would be impossible to describe. The form of the serpent is like that of a water-snake; but he has wings without feathers, and as like as possible to the wings of a bat (1850, pp. 75-76, emp. added).

    Pteranodon
    Pteranodon

    Herodotus knew of flying reptiles, and recognized that these creatures were neither birds, mammals, nor insects—but reptiles with wings. Notice also what the Jewish historian Josephus wrote 2,000 years ago about Moses and his army having a difficult time passing through a particular region because of the presence of flying serpents.

    When the ground was difficult to be passed over, because of the multitude of serpents (which it produces in vast numbers...some of which ascend out of the ground unseen, and also fly in the air, and do come upon men at unawares, and do them a mischief)....
    [Moses] made baskets like unto arks, of sedge, and filled them with ibes [i.e., birds], and carried them along with them; which animal is the greatest enemy to serpents imaginable, for they fly from them when they come near them; and as they fly they are caught and devoured by them (n.d., 2:10:2, emp. added).

    Although these two historians do not mention the extremely large flying reptiles, they do record that snake-like winged creatures, which could fly, did live in the distant past. These reports are consistent with findings that A.H. Verrill reported in 1954 in his book, Strange Prehistoric Animals and Their Stories.

    Obviously, the scientific evidence for the coexistence of dinosaurs and man speaks loudly, and yet it continues to fall on deaf ears within the evolutionary community. That silence, however, does little to change the documented facts, as we now know them.
    CONCLUSION

    Contrary to popular opinion, dinosaurs do not present a problem for creationists. In fact, quite the opposite is true. It is evolutionists who have a problem. While they continue to maintain, as the late paleontologist Roland T. Bird of the American Museum of Natural History once put it, that “no man had ever existed in the age of the reptiles” (1939, 43[5]:257), the evidence documents exactly the opposite.

  • Anyone remember this?

    It was 1987. At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration. There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!
    He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?" Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir." The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?" "No, sir," continued Ollie. "No? And why not?" the senator asked. "Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir." "Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned. "By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered. "Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?" "His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied. At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked. "Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered. "And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator. "Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin
    team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth." The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip. By the way, that senator was Al Gore!

    Also: Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners." However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released.
    Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.
    If you agree that the American public should be made aware of this fact, pass this on.
    Do Not Break - it is 6 years strong.

    This is why I always say "I love YOU...."

    This has not been broken since 9/11/01, please keep it going... This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11. In memory of all those who perished this morning; the passengers and the pilots on the United Air
    and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and all the innocent bystanders. Our prayers go out to the friends and families of the deceased.

    IF I KNEW

    If I knew it would be the last time
    That I'd see you fall asleep,
    I would tuck you in more tightly
    and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

    If I knew it would be the last time
    that I see you walk out the door,
    I would give you a hug and kiss
    and call you back for one more.

    If I knew it would be the last time
    I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
    I would video tape each action and word,
    so I could play them back day after day.

    If I knew it would be the last time,
    I could spare an extra minute
    to stop and say "I love you,"
    instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

    If I knew it would be the last time
    I would be there to share your day,
    Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
    so I can let just this one slip away.

    For surely there's always tomorrow
    to make up for an oversight,
    and we always get a second chance
    to make everything just right.

    There will always be another day
    to say "I love you,"
    And certainly there's another chance
    to say our "Anything I can do?"

    But just in case I might be wrong,
    and today is all I get,
    I'd like to say how much I love you
    and I hope we never forget.

    Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
    young or old alike,
    And today may be the last chance
    you get to hold your loved one tight.

    So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
    why not do it today?
    For if tomorrow never comes,
    you'll surely regret the day,

    That you didn't take that extra time
    for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
    and you were too busy to grant someone,
    what turned out to be their one last wish.

    So hold your loved ones close today,
    and whisper in their ear,
    Tell them how much you love them
    and that you'll always hold them dear

    Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
    "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
    And if tomorrow never comes,
    you'll have no regrets about today.

    PLEASE DON'T BREAK IT!
