In an October 21, 2008
column, titled “Obama is Bought,
but Who Owns Him?” I quoted
the Obama campaign’s last preelection financial report which
showed that their contributor
base had grown from 1.5 million
to 2.5 million, and that the total
amount raised was approximately
$600 million… 25% of it ($150
million) from those contributing
from $2,000-2,300. If that was to
be believed, that segment of his
contributor base had grown from
37,000 to 71,400 in just over three
months, leaving the remaining
$450 million to be contributed
by some 2.43 million people,
each giving $5, $10, $20… or,
as Obama assured us, “whatever
they could afford.”
Of course, no one but a
product of our public education
system would be unable to calculate that $450 million cannot be
contributed by 2.43 million people
in $5, $10, or $20 amounts. To
create a pool of that magnitude,
each of those 2.43 million people
would have to contribute, on average, just over $185. That simply
does not happen. It has never
happened before, and anyone who
believed that actually happened
will believe almost anything. So
how were they doing it?
In a July 25, 2008 column we pointed out that UBS
Americas, headed by Robert
Wolf… along with George Soros, one of Obama’s top two
money men… had been accused
of highly unethical and illegal
banking practices in six months of
hearings by the Senate Permanent
Subcommittee on Investigations,
headed by Senator Carl Levin
(D-MI). According to an article
in The Nation magazine, UBS
Americas, a subsidiary of UBS, of
Zurich, Switzerland, “had advised
wealthy Americans, including
many of our worst villains, how
to shelter funds from the IRS, as
well as from prosecutors, creditors, disgruntled business associates, family members, etc.”
In a Statement of Facts in
the criminal trial of former UBS
executive Bradley Birkenfeld, it
was alleged that UBS took extraordinary steps to help American clients manage their Swiss
accounts without alerting federal
authorities. For example, UBS
advised clients to avoid detection by using Swiss credit cards
to withdraw funds, to destroy
all existing off-shore banking
records, and to misrepresent the
receipt of funds from their Swiss
accounts as loans from the Swiss
bank. According to The Nation,
UBS established an elaborate
training program which taught
bank employees how to avoid
surveillance by U.S. law enforcement, how to falsify visas, how
to encrypt communications, and
how to secretly move money into
and out of the country…
It was the perfect instrument for funneling large sums

Egypt Bombs Islamic State Targets in
Libya After 21 Egyptians Beheaded
Egyptian jets bombed Islamic
State targets in Libya on Monday, a day after the group there
released a video showing the
beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians, drawing Cairo directly into
the conflict across its border.
Egypt said the pre-dawn strike
hit militant camps, training sites
and weapons storage areas in
neighbouring Libya, where civil
conflict has plunged the country
into near anarchy and created
havens for armed factions.
While Cairo is believed to have
provided clandestine support
to a Libyan general fighting a
rogue government in Tripoli, the
mass killings pushed President
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi into open
action, expanding his battle
against Islamist militancy.
“And let those near and far know
that the Egyptians have a shield

Joroushi, who is loyal to Libya’s
internationally recognised government that set up camp in the
city of Tobruk after losing control of Tripoli, said there would

In a mother’s womb were two
babies.
One asked the other: “Do
you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied,
“Why, of course. There has
to be something after delivery.
Maybe we are here to prepare
ourselves for what we will be
later.” “Nonsense” said the
first. “There is no life after
delivery. What kind of life
would that be?” The second
said, “I don’t know, but there
will be more light than here.
Maybe we will walk with our
legs and eat from our mouths.
Maybe we will have other
senses that we can’t understand now.” The first replied,
“That is absurd. Walking is
impossible. And eating with
our mouths? Ridiculous! The
umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need.
But the umbilical cord is so
short. Life after delivery is to
be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I
think there is something and
maybe it’s different than it is
here. Maybe we won’t need
this physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense.
And moreover if there is life,
then why has no one ever
come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and
in the after-delivery there
is nothing but darkness and
silence and oblivion. It takes
us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said
the second, “but certainly we
will meet Mother and she will
take care of us.” The first replied “Mother? You actually
believe in Mother? That’s
laughable. If Mother exists
then where is She now?” The
second said, “She is all around
us. We are surrounded by her.
We are of Her. It is in Her
that we live. Without Her this
world would not and could not
exist.” Said the first: “Well
I don’t see Her, so it is only
logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied,
“Sometimes, when you’re in
silence and you focus and you
really listen, you can perceive
Her presence, and you can
hear Her loving voice, calling
down from above.”

Governor Mary Fallin’s “Oklahoma Now”
THE VIEW FROM HERE
Fallin: “The President Just Drags his Feet on Keystone
By Reena Flores CBS News
Only a day after House Speaker John Boehner signed the Keystone XL bill out of Congress, Republicans renewed their calls for President Obama to make the oil pipeline a
reality.
“We can secure the safest, most cost-effective way to transport these resources,”
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said in the GOP’s weekly address. “And we can
continue building our energy future and reducing our dependence on foreign
oil.”
Fallin pointed out that the TransCanada pipeline, which would transport oil
from northern tar sands to refineries in the United States, has passed through Gov. Mary Fallin
intense critical examination from both public and private interests.
“Keystone has now been through more than six years of scrutiny - far more than any project of
its kind - and it’s passed every test and cleared every hurdle,” the governor said. “But still, the
president just drags his feet.”
Boehner recruited the Oklahoma governor to deliver the weekly GOP address. Fallin is the chief
executive of a state that would benefit greatly from approval of the pipeline plans.
The 485-mile Keystone Gulf portion, which connects Oklahoma’s pipeline centers to Texas refineries, has already been approved. And according to Fallin, Keystone is expected to generate
approximately $15 million in yearly tax revenue for the state.
“Out here, that’s what Keystone is about. Not politics, not Republicans and Democrats. It’s about
jobs. It’s about energy. It’s about infrastructure. It’s about hope,” Fallin said. “President Obama
was once about that too.”

Reversing Word Meanings
There is an old saying among
the debaters and trial lawyers that
goes something like this: “he who
controls the language controls the
debate (or argument)”. And the C/S
(Communist/ Socialist) movement
activists have been, and are, very
accomplished at that tactic. They
have achieved great success with it,
especially with the willing support
of a media majority who have been
predominantly delivered into the
movement.
Unfortunately, far too many
of the members of the “low information voter” group who primarily
receive their information from the
major national, and international,
distribution of ‘news’ sources do
not realize, or care, that they have
been and are being propagandized
into making the misinformed decisions that have led the USA into the
‘major change’ condition in which
we now find ourselves. With the
eager assistance of the aforementioned media special interest activist groups have been able to reverse
the historical meanings of many
words and phrases in the English
Language.
Thus we have come to a situation which was aptly described in a
song of the 1920s titled “Anything
Goes”. Some of the words went:
“black is white, up is down, right is
left” and on. And so it has become
today, as if the composer had been
a prophet in his time. For example
it has become common for the word
“gay” to be used as a synonym for
“homosexual”, whereas the original meaning was for a joyous and
happy person, such as “happy and
gay”. Frankly, it is highly offensive
to me to be used that way simply
because in my life there have been,
more than I can remember, friends
and acquaintances whose first or
last names were ‘Gay’, beginning
even in grade school. What a hurt
and insult to them.
With the advent of color TV
it was the practice of the political
news reporting to use the color RED
for Democrat controlled states and
BLUE for Republican controlled
states during election season. Then,

Know Your Enemy
There is an ancient Chinese
proverb that states, “Know your
enemy and know yourself; in a
hundred battles, you will never be
defeated. Over the past few years we
Americans have allowed ourselves
to be blinded to the nature of our
enemies because of political correctness. A little over a week ago
at the National Prayer Breakfast
our president gave a speech that
showed a lack of vision and common sense. For some reason our
president cannot call our enemies
what they really are.
The terrorist group ISIS
wreaking havoc in the Middle
East is committing all kinds of
atrocities in the name of their god
“Allah”. The term ISIS identifies
them as an Islamic State, but our
president refers to them as ISIL.
Our president refuses to call these
thugs what they are, Islamic terrorists. If he would direct half as much
arrogance towards ISIS as he does at
the people of the United States and
our Constitution, they might not be
the threat they are becoming to the
world. In our county Obama has
shown a tendency to rule with an
iron fist; he has no problem cramming an ill-conceived health care
bill down our throats, or refusing
to enforce laws passed by previous
administrations. During the prayer
breakfast he did take a swipe at the
Christian religion and the Crusades
that happened 1000 years ago. He

a shock for me to notice that the
colors had been reversed. My
suspicions were that this was done,
not by accident, but deliberately for
the simple reason that the color red
has long been deemed an antagonizing color by
psychologists
while the color
blue was considered to be
soothing. Thus
the presumption must have
been to slant
less informed
voters to the Democrat Party candidates. These suspicions have been
confirmed later by advertising specialists. Even after that national TV
switch, most campaign curb signs
were basically red for Democrats
and Blue for Republicans. And just
last year the source of the change
was heard in a broadcast that named
a prominent TV news anchor who
had ordered the change, and he was
not to be denied. One suspects that
he had been tipped off, or instructed
by the White House staff, to make
the changes.
In has long been the practice
of those involved in propaganda
to loudly and often accuse the opposition of doing the very things
that they were doing, or intending
to do. Even this month word has
come out, particularly in the debate
over ‘measles vaccination denial’
that those who would refuse such
to be “right wing extremists”. The
facts are that most of the parents
who choose to not have their children vaccinated are of the more
wealthy class and tend to be mostly
oriented to the C/S philosophy. Yet
the media personnel in questioning
interviewees almost accusingly
state that those who refuse to vaccinate their children are “right wing
extremists”.
However, there seems to be
a tenancy in the school children
coming into my observation to be
much more oriented to patriotism
and accepting GOD and JESUS. If
that holds true more widely than my
experience, then there is hope for
the future of the USA and World.

was quick to give his opinion on
the history of the Crusades, and to
accuse those alive at that time of using Christianity as an excuse to use
violence. What our president failed
to tell is that the Crusades were a
response to the same atrocities that
the ISIS group is doing today. In
my opinion, his silence on the beheading of American citizens and on
the burning of the caged Jordanian
pilot spoke volumes; yet he could
condemn
the Christian
faith and the
actions of
people a millennia ago.

have become the latest fad to bash
Christianity, heaven forbid anyone
to say anything against Islam. I, and
many other Americans, have not
forgotten the Twin Towers, Fort
Hood and countless other crimes
against humanity. There are always
interpretations by some that claim
the Bible promotes violence. As
a Christian I defy anyone to prove
where Jesus Christ promoted violence against the innocent, can the
same be said of the prophet Mohammed? Even when Christ was dying
on the cross it is said that some of
his last words were him asking his
father to forgive those who had
crucified him because they knew
not what they had done. Our president is refusing to look our enemy
in the eye and seems as if he could
care less about the American way
of life and the rich heritage that
is unique to our county. Until our
leaders start calling our enemies for
what they are, and respect the values
our country was founded upon, our
success on the battlefield will be
dismal at best.

From My Pointless View...by Ruth Bivens
Valentine’s Day South
of the Border
Here we are again, back
at the Getsemani Children’s
Home in Morelos, Coahuila.
And, today is a special holiday. On this date, years ago,
when I attended a one room
school out northeast of Pryor,
we had a special school event
and everyone exchanged little
paper valentines. I remember
how my poor mother pinched
pennies to help us buy a package of valentines. Then, we
made a list of all the kids in
the school and made sure
that everyone received one.
We would come home from
school that day with our own
bundle of valentine treasures
too.
Here at the children’s
home two of the older girls,
and our neighbor boy, came
to see me, all at different
times. They were going to
have a party in their classes at
school and had drawn names
to give a gift. But, the holiday
here is called “Dia de Amor
y Amistad” translated, Day
of Love and Friendship. I
was surprised that only these
three came and asked for help
coming up with a gift. I don’t
know if the other classes did
not have any kind of party or
special event for the day, or
if their house parents helped
them come up with something.
I always look for little
trinkets that would make a
nice gift when I have a chance
to go to the Good Will Store,
or the Texas Thrift Store in
Pharr. I bring them here, clean
them up, and tuck them into
the top drawer of my dresser.
When there is a birthday or
some other special event, I
can always come up with
something for the girls. One
of the girls needed a gift for
another girl her age, I believe
Paula must be 16 or 17. Then,
her sister, Dulce, who is 18,
needed to come up with a gift
for her teacher. Both of the
girls picked out little glass,
heart shaped jewelry boxes
with lids. I also had a good
supply of earrings that I had
found at WalMart, cheap. So,
they both were able to put a
few earrings in the box they
gave as a gift. I always recycle
gift bags and paper, so have a
stash on hand when we need
them too.
The boys are a bit more
problematic. But, as we were
on our way back from Alabama, the pastor’s wife at the
Light of Life Free Will Baptist
Mission Church in McAllen
contacted us. They had a load
of gifts they had wanted to
send to the children’s home
before Christmas. We did
not have the chance to make
connections then, but decided
to bring the gifts and have
them on hand for birthdays.
So, when our little next door
neighbor boy Armando said
he needed a gift for his nine
year old friend, we let him go
through the boys’ toys and
pick something out. And we
fixed it up in a nice, blue gift
bag.
Today, John and Paulina, our son and his wife
who founded the home here,
planned a special get away
for all of the kiddos. We
loaded the two big vans just
before noon and headed for
Piedras Negras. Paulina drove
one van and Hubby drove the
other one. We went straight
to the park where the event
was planned and met John and
the older boys there. Paulina
went by and picked up two
young people who grew up
with them and brought them
and their
families
to the picnic too.
John
and his
boys had
gotten
up early
and made
sandwichRuth Bivens
es for everyone. They came well supplied with plenty of chips and
a good assortment of cookies
for dessert. Paulina took a
load of two liter sodas, paper
plates, cups, and paper towels
for napkins.
We sat on the shaded
bleachers by a baseball park
and had lunch, then we walked
down to the end of the block
where there is a great playground with all kinds of playground equipment, everything
from swings, to slides, merrygo-rounds and all kinds of
other things to climb on and
swing from. The kiddos ran
and played until about 3:45
when we all had head back
toward the vans. Paulina had
taken gifts for the children of
Ernesto and Edna. Ernesto lost
his job yesterday, and things
have been hard at their house
even while he was working.
Edna has four children and
no visible means of support,
nor husband to help her. So,
their children were delighted
to receive a gift.
As we got ready to load
back up in the vehicles Paulina began to pass out zip loc
bags of candy to everyone.
That was when we noticed
that there were some people
who had been walking down
the sidewalk who had stopped
to watch. They asked if they
could have a gift too. There
were no extra bags, but some
of the children gave their own
bags of candy to the passerbys, who looked like they
had not had a treat in a good
while.
The older boys, who live
at the house in Piedras Negras
with John, had a special event
at their church this afternoon
at four so we said “Good-bye”
to them and we all headed for
home. It was four thirty by
the time we got back to Morelos. Paulina delivered her
guests and arrived soon after
we did.
She had planned hot dogs
for supper this evening, so
Hubby did not need to cook.
We had not expected that, so
he had soaked a huge pot of
beans last night and cooked
them before we left at noon. He
spiced them up and, brought
them to a boil, put a tight lid on
them, and has supper already
for tomorrow evening. All he
will have to do is make a big
batch of cornbread.
I have the special Valentine card that I bought for
Hubby a month or so ago
hidden in our room. I will get
it out and put it with the little
gift I brought for him and put
it on his pillow. This late in
the day he won’t be expecting
anything.
So, the Day of Love and
Friendship is rapidly drawing to a close. I hope that
your Valentine’s Day was as
sweet as chocolate. We made
some happy memories for the
children

COMMISSION (CPUC) GOT CAUGHT WITH THEIR HANDS IN THE COOKIE JAR!!!

Sandi Maurer, Director of the EMF Safety Network.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------http://emfsafetynetwork.org/ CPUC President Peevey “There really are people who feel pain related to EMF” Posted on February 7, 2015 by admin In April 2010 the EMF Safety Network filed a CPUC
application on smart meters. We asked for a moratorium, an independent technical review, evidentiary hearings on health and safety, and the right to opt out.
In December 2010 CPUC President Michael Peevey approved PG&Eʼs motion to dismiss our application. He stated “I believe that relying on the FCC in this case is reasonable, prudent and fully consistent with our responsibilities to provide safe and reliable electric service to ratepayers.” He concluded his statements by stating, “You should take these concerns to the FCC, itʼs the proper body.”
Nearly five years later 65,000 emails between PG&E and the CPUC have been publicly released. Emails reveal the collusion between CPUC and PG&E. They discussed the smart meter problems privately, violating their own rules of procedure.
In September 2010 Peevey emailed PG&Eʼs Brian Cherry on smart meters. He did not say he thought we should take the issue to the FCC.
Peevey believed people were suffering from smart meters. He believed PG&E should do something about it. However, instead of regulating the utility to ensure public safety, he deferred his lawful
responsibility to PG&E.
CPUC President Michael Peevey, “There really are people who feel pain, etc., related to EMF”
Michael Peevey wrote, “One thought for the company: If it were my decision I would let anyone who wants to keep their old meter keepit, if they claim they
suffer from EMF and/or related ! electronic-related illnesses and they can produce a doctorʼs letter saying so (or expressing concern about the likelihood of suffering same). I would institute such a policy quietly and solely on an individual basis. There really are people who feel pain, etc., related to EMF,etc., and rather
than have them becoming hysterical, etc., I would quietly leave them alone. Kick it around. And, it sounds like the company may already have taken this step,
based on a couple of the comments at yesterdayʼs public hearing. He writes, “If it were my decision”. As the Commissioner assigned to the proceeding- it was
HIS decision. Yet, Peevey defers his lawful duty to PG&E. And he delayed on this case for years.
Peevey wanted PG&E to keep it quiet- didnʼt want other customers, or the rest of the world to know thereʼs a problem with smart meters causing customers pain, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Utility Commissionerʼs Private Emails Reveal Conspiracy, By Josh del Sol, producer & director, Take Back Your Power & Jeromy Johnson of EMF Analysis YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=a4H8aGDumgo
FAT CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG: Evidence has now been made public of illegal actions and collusion between former California Public Utilities Commission president Michael Peevey and
utility PG&E, as criminal investigations continue.
As part of a federal and state investigation into what appears to be systemic corruption involving former senior executives at PG&E and the California Public Utilities Commission, 65,000 emails have
been publicly released, revealing collusion and conspiracy.
Former commission president Michael Peevey and former PG&E Vice President Brian Cherry are wishing investigators would have been kept in the dark. The pair privately discussed problems with
so-called “smart” meters, violating their own rules of procedure while admitting to health harm and overbilling problems – which several thousand Californians had been warning about since 2010.
Details continue to surface, as press and researchers continue to delve into the mountain of collusion.
It is perhaps justly ironic that we now see, made public, the private email correspondence of those who have teamed up to deploy technology which, according to a 2012 US Congressional Research
report, facilitates unprecedented in-home surveillance.
Here are some highlights from their correspondence:
1) Peevey knew – since 2010 – that “smart” meters can cause physical harm.
And he believed PG&E should do something about it, albeit “quietly”. However, instead of regulating the utility to ensure public safety, he deferred his lawful duty to PG&E – the entity causing the
harm.
From a 2010 email:
“Peevey wanted PG&E to keep it quiet,” writes Sandi Maurer, Director of the EMF Safety Network. “He didnʼt want other customers, or the rest of the world to know thereʼs a problem with smart
meters causing customers pain.”
2) Peevey said after a “smart” meter was installed on his vacation home, his bill more than doubled.
Sundayʼs LA Times reported this one. “Obviously something is wrong,” Peevey wrote to Cherry in 2011. “I would like an explanation.” PG&E reacted immediately to perform a “deep dive investigation” into the billing situation at the 3,118-square-foot Sea Ranch home on the Northern California coast.
There have been tens of thousands of billing complaints in California, revealing a widespread, systemic overbilling problem which appears to be the case everywhere “smart” meters are installed.
3) Peevey and Cherry colluded to permanently delay hearings until the “smart” meter rollout was completed.
As noted in EMF Safety Networkʼs January 22 appeal for rehearing, an email from Cherry to Tom Bottorff – a senior VP who left in disgrace but received $1.1M in severance pay – outlines the CPUC
conspiracy to delay “smart” meter hearings until all “smart” meters had already been installed: “Mike [Peevey, the CPUC president] grumbled about the CCSF PFM [City and County of San Francisco
Petition for Modification] and the folks in Sebastopool [sic] who want to delay SmartMeter implementation. He implied that this wasnʼt going to happen and that by the time the Commission got around
to acting on it, we would have installed all of our meters.”
SmartMeters - Mike grumbled about the CCSF PFM and the folks in Sebastapool who want to delay SmartMeter implementation. He implied that this
wasn’t going to happen and that by the time the Commission got around to acting on it, we would have installed all of our meters, He was concerned
about the Structure SmartMeter Audit. He said he could not go into details, but that we would like their conclusions on the viability of the technology and
infrastructure that supports it. He did say the Structure Audit report would be very critical of the way we handled the problem and communicated with
our customers. He was also highly critical of Helen and her handling of the Senate hearing in Sacramento.
Miscellaneous - Mike couldn’t hide his disdain for Mark Toney and TURN. He was particularly incensed, along with Clanon, about TURNs refusal to
modify their website about opposition to SmartMeters. I’m not too concerned about TURN and the GRC at this point. I don’t believe we need them as a
settlement partner with Peevey as the assigned Commissioner.
In fact, not all of the “smart” meters have been installed in California – as thousands of customers have refused and 57 local governments donʼt want them – and there are now obvious issues with those
that were installed.
Thanks to multi-year efforts of advocate groups like EMF Safety Network and StopSmartMeters!, the cat is now out of the bag as to how dangerous and corrupt the grand plans of people like Michael
Peevey have been. The CPUC and PG&E knew that people were being harmed and they colluded to silence the truth.
The story continues to unfold
We encourage you to stay tuned as more revelations come out by the day. With the judge-shopping scandal, ex-Commissioner Peeveyʼs home computers, hard drives and smart phones were seized in
January by investigators. This has already led to more evidence of collusion in the multi-billion dollar bailout of the San Onofre nuclear power plant in 2013.
As utility and political leaders from around the country toasted Michael Peevey last night on a “job well done”, truth advocates will continue to sift through emails. We can only guess what will be revealed in the coming months. However, it appears that it wonʼt be a comfortable retirement for those who broke their own rules and brushed aside safety in order to push through the multi-billion dollar
boondoggle that is the wireless “smart” grid.

Has America Lowered
Herself to Harlotry?
Obama’s legacy: Obfuscator-in-Chief
By Brian McNicoll
Human Events
By Walt Thrun
Several Biblical passages can be
examined to answer that question. Let’s begin with a passage
penned nearly 3500 years ago.
The lesson is to remember the
LORD for it is He who provides
all things.
“Beware that you do not
forget the LORD your God by
not keeping His commandments,
His judgments, and is statutes
which I command you today,
lest – when you have eaten and
are full, and have built beautiful
houses and dwell in them; and
when your herds and your flocks
multiply, and your silver and
your gold are multiplied, and
all that you have is multiplied;
when your heart it lifted up,
and you forget the LORD your
God…” Deuteronomy 8:11-14
The major point is that God
would provide Israel all she
could ever dream of having.
When the promises came to fruition in their new land they were
not to forget the source of their
prosperity and blessings.
They were neither to boast
nor take credit for anything God
had provided.
“ – then you say in your
heart, ‘My power and the might
of my hand have gained me this
wealth.’” Deuteronomy 8:17
Approximately 800 years
later, after a history of disobedience, God recounted Israel’s required judgment. Both northern
Israel and southern Judah were
labeled as harlots because they
had committed spiritual adultery
against their betrothed.
“Therefore thus says the
Lord GOD: ‘Because you have
forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, therefore you
shall bear the penalty of your
lewdness and your harlotry.’”
Ezekiel 23:35
Recall the Hebrew for ‘forgotten’ means ‘to be oblivious
to because of lack of attention,’
i.e. a conscious forsaking.
The word ‘lewdness’ means
‘evil’ or ‘wicked,’ while ‘cast’
means ‘to consciously put someone or something away.’
The phrase ‘bear the penalty’
means ‘to accept or carry’ the
penalty.
And the word ‘harlotry’ or
‘whoredom’ means metaphorically spiritual adultery and/or
idolatry. It also carries the
meaning of illegal contact between Israel and other nations.
To depend on other nations or
coalitions for their safety instead
of God was considered to be
harlotry.
Harlotry is mentioned throughout the Bible and is summarized
in the Book of Revelation where
she is called:

“For all the nations have drunk

Revelation 18:3
The second word in the above
passage is ‘all.’
There is much comfort in
knowing that a person is not

he/she lives. A person is saved
with a one-on-one relationship

Thought for the Day by
Corbett Mason
Oklahoma Amish
By Bill Chupp
There were five land runs
to settle the three million acres
of Oklahoma that the United
States Government purchased
from the Creek and Seminole
tribes and made it open for
settlement.
The land run on April 19,
1892 included three Amish men
who staked claims in Indian
Territory
in western
Oklahoma. Since
it was not
choice
land, the
land run
was not as
Bill Chupp
spectacular as others and some land was
not settled for ten years.
Moses K Yoder, his son
Rudy Z. Yoder and Ben B.
Miller were given one year to
move there and comply with
the Homestead Act. A claim
was 160 acres and had to be
registered at the land office.
They had to live on it at least six
months each year for the next
five years, put up a residence,
plow some land and build
fences, thus proving that he
wanted it for a home.
Some homesteaders found
life too difficult, became discouraged and sold their land
rights for whatever they could
get, fifty dollars or for a horse
and saddle or a team and wagon. Those farms in 1970 were
worth $100,000!
The Amish settled in
Custer County near Thomas
before statehood. The western
Indian Territory and the eastern
Oklahoma territory became a
single state on November 16,
1907.
Most of the early Amish
settlers came to Oklahoma from
the state of Kansas where land
prices were much higher and as
the families grew, they needed
more farms. The Amish still
farmed with horses and their
“English” neighbors already
had tractors.
When the Amish began
using tractors in 1937, they
all had steel wheels. During
World War II, because of the
shortage of steel, the manufacturers helped replace them with
air filled rubber tires. For years
the Amish held to their rules
and did not allow them until
1947. Rubber tired tractors
maneuvered better on the sandy
soil than steel ones.
Eventually the Old Order
Amish Church that still used
horse and buggy evolved into
the “Beachy Amish” and the
last of the Old Order Amish
moved to Anderson County,
Kansas in 1958. The Beachy
Amish accepted rubber tires
on tractors and the use of automobiles for travel, as well as
electricity and telephones.
My parents both lived in
Mayes County near Chouteau
during the early 30’s and 40’s.
The principal reason for them
leaving the Amish Church was
over the use of rubber tires on
tractors. They joined the Zion
Mennonite Church at Pryor in
1945. Soon after that, several
other families followed them.
It was during the early
50’s at a Mayes County Amish
Church council meeting before
their communion service, they
asked a Bishop from western
Oklahoma to officiate. They
asked his advice about the
rubber tire issue. “Well,” he replied, “We use them in western
Oklahoma and we like them.”
Soon after that they allowed
them here, too!
My roots are deep in my
Amish heritage. I am glad that
the Amish Church is still in
existence today. They still have
a lot of faithful God fearing
members who are holding fast
to their belief of non-conformity as given in Romans 12:2.
“And be not conformed to the
world but be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good
and acceptable and perfect will
of God.”
There are still four church
districts of Amish in Mayes
County. They are striving to
live their faith by example.
They are very community and
family oriented. They take care
of their own and share with
their friends and neighbors.
Recently they had a fund raiser
for a non-Amish man. The man
had deceased, but they wanted
to help the family with final
expenses.
In our world today, we do
not have to look very far or read
the news to realize how privileged we are to live in a country
with religious freedom. Christians are being persecuted and
giving the ultimate sacrifice of
their lives for Christ.
No matter if we drive a
horse and buggy, a car or fly
a plane, we have to recognize
that there is only one way to
heaven and that is through the
blood of Jesus.
May God have mercy on
our country so we can live up
to “In God we trust”.
Have a good week. God
Bless…

The innovative and patented SafeCut system is standard-fit on EasyCut
mowers. Providing exemplary impact damage protection, the system
centres on a roll pin that connects each mower disc to the drive shaft
and that shears off as the disc hits an obstacle. All elements in the cutterbar driveline are protected. While the sprocket continues revolving,
the stopped disc jacks up on a thread and out of the operating area of
the blades on the neighbouring discs, thereby eliminating the risk of damaging these as well.

Our two party governing
system is like a mule’s ears,
they’re both attached to a single
point of corruption – money.
They sing the song, “What’s in
it for us.”
When it comes to money
both political parties’ greed percentage runs 99 44/100ths pure.
Deceit, larceny and greed seems
to rule our leaders’ hearts. When
Obama was running for President
back in 2008, he was going to
give the American people transparency, clean up Washington
D.C. and hog-tie those pesky
influence selling lobbyists. One
wonders, who forgot his promises first, the American people
or our lordship?
Remember when 60 Minutes did the story on members of
Congress that made a profit by
selling bonds and stocks using
insider information? As the two
political parties were hassling
each other over Obamacare,
they were trading healthcare
securities and then during the
banking bailouts they were trading financial securities. Martha
Stewart did a stint in prison for
insider trading.
Not so, if you are one of
the “Elite,” because according to the news article on 60
Minutes – Nancy Pelosi, John
Boehner, and Spencer Baucus
all benefited from trades involving legislation they were working on. With that deer in the
headlight look, Congress acted,
not because they wanted to, but
the public had been made aware
of what was going on behind
closed doors. So they got the
courage to pass the “Stock Act,”
which had provisions to force
financial disclosures of those up
on Capitol Hill. This piece of
legislation mandated our leaders
to post every related financial
transaction to a secure website
within 45 days; for once they
were being held accountable. The
clatter between the staffers and
lobbyists behind closed doors
rose to a decimal point just below a speeding freight train, and
the train arrived at Capitol Hill
bringing Nevada Senator Harry
Reid, who wanted to modify
this provision in the Stock Act.
And all of our legislators agreed
whole heartily, it was considered
and passed in the Senate in 10
seconds, it passed in 14 seconds
in the House. A cowboy rides a
bull for 8 seconds to make a little
money; but our legislators took a
total of 24 seconds to make a lot
of money. Miracle of miracles,
both branches of government
passed this bill with unanimous
support; making insider trading
a little easier for all on Capitol
Hill. The amazing part is when
it comes to a budget for our
Country there is no agreement,
no middle ground, but if it’s
an increase in your legislator’s
pocketbook, a bill can be passed
in 4 days, President
Obama signed this bill into
law on April 15 or a total of 4
days after Harry Reid proposed
the change in the law.
The ole Rancher says, “It
would be easier to hold a greased
pig and keep it from squirming than to expect our leaders
to abide by the same laws, we
common folk are held to. On that
day, the lamb will lay down by
the lion.”
When our “Commander”
stands up and tells the world:
“Now let’s make two things clear:
ISIL is not “Islamic.” No religion
condones the killing of innocents,
and the vast majority of ISIL’s
victims have been Muslim.”
- “We do not

It seems our leaders are

words “Muslim Extremists or

was the beginning of the global
jihadist movement, since then,
many countries around the world
have been guilty of dismissing,
aiding and abetting many jihadist
actions - such as Obama calling
ISIL the “JV team. “According
to the New York Times in 2013,
the evidence coming from Syria
shows many of the Islamist rebels
being supported by the Obama
Administration are made up of
“gangs of highwaymen, kidnappers and killers.” On September
17, 2013, the Washington Examiner said
Obama in his effort to provide assistance to those fighting
the Syrian dictator Bashar Assad
waived a provision of federal law
that was put in place to prevent
supplying arms to radical groups.
So the federal government furnished arms to Al-Qaeda and
other radical terrorist groups.
Senator Bob Corker (TN – Republican) [2013] who serves on
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee has stated the intelligence officials in the current
administration are having “black
ops” units furnish our armaments
to Islamic groups to prevent the
American people from being
aware of their clandestine operations.
John Kerry (2013) spouts
that the Syrian fighters are democratic freedom fighters with a
very small percentage of them
being extremists. While one
military official with boots on the
ground says over 50% of the rebel forces are made up of radical
Islamic groups and the numbers
of radicals are increasing every
day. So now we have our leaders in government working with
intelligence officials and key
members of Congress shipping
missiles, high tech weapons and
arsenals of guns to the Muslim
Brotherhood. What do you think
the American public would have
said if they knew our leaders
were shipping munitions to our
enemies during WWII?
The investigation of Ismail

Brotherhood knows all too well
Washington’s Liberals fear accusations of religious bigotry,

GE apple approved by USDA
Despite public opposition, USDA has just approved the
genetically engineered (GE) “Arctic” apple.
After decades of promises from
the biotech industry that genetically engineered (GE) food
would feed the world, cure the
sick, reduce agricultural dependence on toxic chemicals, and
save countless crops from imminent collapse, USDA has just approved a product they think will
solve a problem humans have
struggled with for centuries… an
apple that doesn’t brown when
you slice it… Seriously; we
couldn’t make this stuff up.
While these GE apples are a
waste of time and money, we
don’t want to downplay the real
concerns about them. Pre-sliced
apples are already a frequently
recalled food product. Once the
whole fruit is sliced, it has an
increased risk of exposure to
pathogens. Since browning is
a sign that apples are no longer
fresh, “masking” this natural signal could lead people to consume
contaminated apples, which is
why some folks are calling it the
“botox apple.”
Further, since FDA does no
independent, pre-market safety
testing of GE food there are
several unanswered questions
about the safety of GE apples.
“Silencing” the genes that make
apples turn brown when exposed
to oxygen could have unintended
consequences that will only be
tested by hungry consumers. Although these “botox apples” are
primarily targeted to the freshsliced apple market they could

The U.S. Needs to Deal with China Differently
By James Carafano
Between complacency and confrontation there is a responsible
way forward that keeps the AsiaPacific a big enough place to
accommodate the vital interests
of both Beijing and Washington.
The heavy lifting will have to
be done by the United States.
That’s okay. The work will make
America a stronger nation and a
better Asian ally.
In the last decade, the Chinese
regime has shown itself to be
anti-democratic, no friend of free
markets, a first-class cyber bully
and more interested in rewriting
or ignoring international norms
than in respecting them. Left unchecked, the Beijing method of
managing international relations
is not likely to make the world a
better or safer place.
If America didn’t share the same
neighborhood with China, it
might well ignore Beijing’s behavior and let others deal with it.
But China and the United States
are stuck with each other.
Unfortunately, the current U.S.
China policy isn’t working.
That’s why China thinks its U.S.
policy is working—and Beijing’s
goal is to diminish and marginalize Washington’s influence in
the Asia-Pacific.
There is a diplomatic dimension
to righting the relationship, but
it requires the United States to
work in a more synchronized
manner with key nations that
have the most to lose if China’s
bullying doesn’t stop. Those
nations are India, Australia and
Japan.
There also has to be a military
component to the U.S. approach.

freedom of the commons (air, sea
and cyberspace) and deterring

to-do list.
Diplomatic and military initiatives are needed to respond to the
threats engendered by Chinese
behavior. But that same ham-fisted behavior has created opportunities for the United States.
To make the most of those opportunities, the United States will
need to power up two additional
elements of national power: economic power and public engagement. Ramping these up ought
to be easy lifts and joyful tasks.

they will help build a strong and

Democrats are ‘actively using immigration
policy as a political tool’
Conservatives say they aren’t
surprised that President Obama
believes and hopes that increasing “social diversity” in America
will make it harder for conservative policy ideas to gain
traction.
They’re just surprised he’s admitting it.
Conservative interest group Eagle Forum recently published a
report titled “How Mass (Legal)
Immigration Dooms a Conservative Republican Party.”
Drawing on a large volume of
survey data from immigrant
communities, the report revealed
that immigrants and their adult
children overwhelmingly favor
big government. Therefore, the
report argued, conservatives
must reduce the future volume
of legal immigration or watch
millions of liberal immigrants
drown out conservative voters.

Also, in 2007, then-Rep. Barney

immigration is bad for blue-collar workers. But never fear, said
the congressman, because immigrants will help elect Democratic

“For him to chortle over the
impact [mass immigration]
will have on our nation’s public policy debates shows how
contemptuous he is of selfgovernment,” Fitton said.
Fitton also said the president’s
comments reveal his animosity
toward conservatives.
“He’s exposing why he’s doing things that ought to have
him turned out of office in a
sensible system,” Fitton said.
“He’s doing it because he hates
conservatives. He thinks the
folks that are working, that he
is allowing to stay here illegally and encouraging to come,
will vote for people who share
his socialist outlook.”
Fitton expressed concern that
illegal votes have tipped the
scales in Democrats’ favor
in the past. He pointed to an
Old Dominion study released
last year which found that 6.4
percent of non-citizens voted
in 2008, and 80 percent of
their votes went to Obama.
The authors posited that those
illegal non-citizen votes may
have helped Obama eke out a
win in North Carolina and put
Democrat Al Franken over the
top in the Minnesota Senate
race.
However, Krikorian is not as
worried as Fitton about illegal votes. The CIS executive
director acknowledged that
voter fraud exists but said legal
immigration remains a greater
threat to a conservative Republican Party simply because
there are many more legal immigrants in the country.
“Most immigration is legal,
and the only people who can
become citizens are legal immigrants, so legal immigration
is what matters when we’re
talking about shifting politics
to the left,” he said.
Krikorian also asserted that
mass immigration, legal and
illegal, exacerbates the very
problems that liberals attempt
to solve with their policies,
such as the growth in child
poverty, the uninsured population and income inequality.
“All of those are things that the
Left then says, without mentioning immigration, ‘Look at
how bad these problems are.
Vote for us, and we’ll redistribute the wealth,’ or whatever,”
Krikorian said. “There are a lot
of middle-of-the-road people
who are going to be persuaded
to consider statist, big-government solutions to problems
that immigration is actually
exacerbating.”
President Obama often says
immigrants are “a net plus
for our economy and our society.”
Schlafly, the longtime conservative activist, disagrees.
“It’s a net plus in numbers, but
it’s not a net plus in people
who believe in America,” she
said. “It’s not a net plus of jobs,
because the more immigrants
he brings in, the more jobs the
new people take, and American
citizens are left out in the cold.
And I think the scandal of our
high unemployment is due to
Obama bringing all the people
he could.”

GOLF JOKE of the WEEK
GOLF AND WHAT IT ALL MEANS – thanks Jim Darby
Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and
the ball goes right.
The lowest score wins, on top of that, the winner buys the
drinks.
Golf is harder than baseball. In Golf, you have to play your foul
balls.
If you find you do not mind playing Golf in the rain, the snow, even
during a hurricane, here’s a valuable tip ...your life is in trouble.
Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the shot
rarely make a perfect shot.
A ‘gimme’ can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ...neither of whom can putt very well.
An interesting thing about Golf is that no matter how badly you
play, it is always possible to get worse.
Golf’s a hard game to figure. One day you’ll go out and slice it
and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day
you go out and for no reason at all you really stink.
If your best shots are the practice swing and the ‘gimme putt’, you
might wish to reconsider this game.
Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you.
Golf is like marriage, If you take yourself too seriously it won’t
work, and both are expensive.
The best wood in most amateurs’ bags is the pencil.

Potterfield outlined his passionate desire to promote competitive
shooting among youths during a
personal presentation at the February meeting of the Oklahoma
Wildlife Conservation Commission on Monday in Stillwater, and
then he backed up his words with
his money.
Potterfield, co-founder of
online shooting and sporting goods
retailer MidwayUSA Inc., donated
$756,410 to support the Oklahoma
Scholastic Shooting Sports Program, which currently involves
about 1,500 students in 85 junior
and senior high schools in the
state.
This donation is among the
largest ever received by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife
Conservation. It represents the
third consecutive year that the
Potterfield family has given large
sums in support of the OSSSP. This
year’s donation brings the Potterfields’ total commitment to nearly
$2.2 million.
“You guys are doing a great,
great job of creating teams in
Oklahoma. ... The work that you
all do here is very, very key to the
future,” Potterfield said. “We very
much appreciate the opportunity to
work with you.”
Commissioners watched
a presentation by Dick Leeper,
executive director of the MidwayUSA Foundation, which outlined
the Potterfield family’s support of
shooting sports across the country.
Through the foundation, Larry and
Brenda Potterfield have personally given $96 million to support
school-based shooting programs
in 49 states.
Since its inception in 2013,
OSSSP has been administered
through the Wildlife Department’s
Information and Education Division. It allows Oklahoma junior and
senior high school students to learn
about and participate in competitive shotgunning. Money donated
by the Potterfield family helps
defray the costs associated with
shooting and participation for the
high school teams. In addition, high
school teams are rewarded with
additional money for participating
in regional and statewide competitive events. Individual endowment
accounts that are set up for each
team through the MidwayUSA
Foundation play an important part
in the program.
Wildlife Department Director Richard Hatcher recognized
Colin Berg, education supervisor
for the Wildlife Department, for
his efforts to establish OSSSP, and
Damon Springer, OSSSP coordinator, for his work in organizing and
operating the program. During
a status report on OSSSP, Berg
said, “Because of the Potterfield
donation, we’re actually about two
or three years ahead of where we
would have been as an agency if we
didn’t have their funds.”

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, expect to scramble at the last
minute when you have to get something
finished. It may elevate your blood pressure, but you’ll feel good when the task
is completed.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, paying off a large debt may empty

to look at the benefits of the situation.
No more interest payments mean more

you may be on the road to a financial
recovery. Monitor your spending and
continue to maintain your financial
discipline.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
You have to take a stand on a highly
contested matter, Taurus. There’s no
way to avoid the situation, so it’s best
if you just meet it head on. Others will

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, expect to be caught off guard
this week. Allow everything to run
its course, and things will be back to
normal before you know it.

no electricity.
- They contacted OG&E on several occasions but the Smiths where dismissed by OG&E. They
told the Smiths to contact OCC, which they did, and OCC sent forms to fill out concerning their
complaints.
- October 31, 2012 OG&E sent a letter to the Smiths which stated there was no proof that smart
meters caused adverse medical conditions.
- November 28, 2012 Billy and Monique saw their family doctor and she wrote letters regarding
Moniqueʼs health and how she should immediately have the smart meter removed.
- December 18, 2012 the Smiths submitted their complaint about the damages to their health from the
smart meter to OCC. They received a return receipt from OCC that they had received the complaint.
Later OCC said they had lost the Smithsʼ records.
- April 25, 2013 They saw a second doctor to get a better opinion about Moniqueʼs condition. This
doctor also stated that the smart meter was affecting her health negatively and diagnosed her with
EMF sensitivity.
- June 19, 2013 Smiths submitted a letter to OG&E requesting for them to remove their smart meter,
without any response from OG&E.
- August 14, 2013 While at the Sherry Lambʼs hearing their lawyer gave Eric Davis, attorney for
OCC, many of these forms. Still no response from OCC to todayʼs date 2-18-2015.
- February 18, 2015 Smiths are still living in a little camper and now have their house on the market.
- Moniqueʼs health continues to worsen.

~ HEALTH ~ Sherry Lambʼs CAUSE NO. CS 201300001 was Filed February 27, 2013 against
OG&E, 24 months ago. Ms. Lambʼs case has still not been heard. Where is due process? OCC told
Ms. Lamb, as did Peevey to the EMF Safety Network, that she should take these concerns to the
FCC, itʼs the proper body. OCC approved the motion to dismiss her case, as did the CPUC to the
EMF Safety Network. Does the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and OG&E (PSO, ONG and
Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives) have the same collusion relationship as did CPUC
and PG&E in California?
~ HEALTH ~ Margie Alfonso complaint, CAUSE NO. CS 201400003 was Filed May 20, 2014 against
Oklahoma Natural Gas (ONG). ONG installed two Microwave Radiating transmitting gas meters, that
pulse every 15 seconds, two feet outside her homeʼs bedroom wall. These gas meters can be read two
miles away from her location. Her OCC hearing was on July 9, 2014, at which time Alfonso asked
for 8 Exhibits to be filed regarding her malignant melanoma. ONG moved for a continuance of the
hearing. On July 17, 2014 Judge Ben Jackson, Administrative Law Judge, granted ONG a motion
for continuance of the hearing. Oklahoma Natural Gas received a continuance until sixty days after
the Commission’s decision in Cause No. CS 201300001, the Complaint by Sherry Lamb.
of illegal campaign contributions into the coffers of
an unscrupulous American
politician. Putting two and
two together, I concluded
that any number of foreign
contributors, wishing to influence the outcome of the
U.S. presidential elections,
could transfer unlimited
sums of money through this
device, using the Swiss bank
accounts of unsuspecting
American depositors as vehicles. The owners of the
Swiss accounts would receive periodic statements indicating: a) debits of varying
amounts, up to $2,300 each,
and b) offsetting credits
provided by the cartel, or
by a wealthy “international
financier.”
For most of the super
wealthy, especially those
attempting to hide income
and assets from U.S. authorities, an unexplained debit of
$2,300, followed by a credit
of the same amount, would
not even raise an eyebrow.
So who would ever know the
source of such contributions?
No one.
On the receiving
end of the transactions, a
U.S. recipient, such as the
Obama campaign, could
receive thousands of individual contributions via
Swiss credit card transfers,
with unsuspecting fictitious
contributors… their names,
addresses, and occupations
“borrowed” from Obama’s
extensive list of $10 and
$20 contributors… being
entered by teams of staffers
working in a “boiler room”
setting, preparing falsified
reports for the Federal Election Commission.
A subsequent report by Newsmax, having
studied thousands of pages
of Obama’s FEC filings,
found some 66,383 highly
suspicious contributions,
not rounded to even dollar
amounts, from 37,265 donors. For example, an insurance agent from Burr Ridge,
Illinois, reportedly gave a
total of $8,724.26, more than
$4,400 over his legal limit.
He gave in odd amounts
such as $188.67, $1,542.06,
$876.09, $388.67, $282.20,
$195.66, $118.15, and one
of $2,300.
A self-employed caregiver in Los Angeles made
36 separate contributions
totaling $7,051.12… more
than $2,450 over her legal
limit. Thirteen of those
contributions were later refunded. However, in an
odd coincidence, those 13
refunds, in amounts such
as $233.88 and $201.44,
came to an even $2,300,
the maximum allowable in
any one election. Another
contributor, a retired schoolteacher from Rockledge,
Florida, is reported to have
given $13,800… $9,200 over
his limit. However, when
interviewed by Newsmax,
that contributor could not
remember giving that much
money to Obama.
Lest anyone suggest
that those 37,265 donors
either emptied their piggy

WND charged that,
in retaliation for their reporting of Cruz’s evidence,
“HSBC lodged a complaint
that blocked Internet access
to one of the WND stories,
and WND senior reporter
Jerome Corsi was fired by
Gilford Securities, the New
York City investment firm
he had worked with for two
years as a senior managing director. However, the
plot thickened when WND
uncovered evidence suggesting that the Obama Justice
Department failed to proceed
with the investigation of
money-laundering charges
in deference to bank clients
of the Washington-based
law firm where Eric Holder
served as a partner prior to
becoming attorney general.
In a telephone interview on February 6th, Cruz
told WND that the Obama
administration “is continuing to cover up its role in
the HSBC money laundering
scandal.” He went on to say
that “the IRS has blocked
every legal effort he has
made to be credited as a
whistleblower in the HSBC
billion-dollar settlement.”
He said, “It is impossible
that the Obama administration did not know HSBC was
laundering drug money for
the Mexican cartels, because
the documentation I had
showed the laundered money
passed through the federal
wire-transfer services.”
Cruz charged that the
1,000 pages of customer
account information he provided show that HSBC’s
money-laundering activities
relied heavily on identity
theft and purloined Social
Security numbers that were
“then used to create bogus retail and commercial
bank accounts.” Through
those bogus accounts, HSBC
employees systematically
deposited and withdrew hundreds of millions of dollars
on a daily basis, apparently
without the knowledge of
the identity-theft victims. He
explained that when a bogus
bank loan was established
under a stolen identity…
causing much consternation among individuals who
found they were the recipients of loans they knew
nothing about… five percent
of the loan proceeds went to
the accounting firm that prepared the phony tax returns
and the other 95 percent went
to the HSBC managers.
Cruz explained that
one manager was involved
in the transaction, another
manager was involved in notarizing the transaction, and
senior management was involved when they approved
the loans, even loans that
had been rejected by underwriters. In order to avoid
prosecution for violation of
the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act,
the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act, and
the Trading with the Enemy
Act, HSBC agreed to pay
the $1.256 billion fine in a
deferred prosecution agreement with Obama’s Justice
Department.
With Eric Holder and
Loretta Lynch having major
roles in the cover-up, Ms.
Lynch will have a great
deal of explaining to do as
her confirmation hearings
continue.
In the meantime, it
would be most interesting
to study FEC contribution
reports to learn how much
HSBC money found its way
into the hands of Barack
Obama, the Democratic
Party, and numerous Democratic candidates.

banks or emptied their pockets and purses periodically
and just sent it all to Obama,
pennies and all, allow me
to suggest something a bit
more sinister. Those 66,383
contributions were the proceeds of foreign currency
conversions, smuggled into
the country in foreign credit
card receipts, and deposited
in Obama’s campaign coffers using the forged names
of some of Obama’s $10 or
$20 contributors.
But now it is alleged
that Loretta Lynch, Obama’s
choice to succeed Eric Holder, is up to her eyeballs in yet
another Obama administration criminal enterprise in
which the banking system
was misused in much the
same way as in the 2008
foreign currency smuggling
operation. According to a
February 7, 2015 report in
WorldNetDaily (WND), the
Obama Department of Justice appears to be stonewalling the release of documents
that could implicate Ms.
Lynch in a massive coverup of Obama administration
involvement in the international money-laundering of
Mexican drug cartel money.
WND reports that
Lynch, while serving as
U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York,
“oversaw the investigation
of drug-related international
money-laundering allegations against London-based
HSBC Holdings, LLC.”
WND had previously published a series of articles
documenting charges that
HSBC laundered billions of
dollars that were traced back
to Mexican drug cartels.
That investigation resulted in
a $1.256 billion fine paid to
the U.S. government, ending
the investigation and avoiding the filing of criminal
charges.
According to the
WND report, the federal
government’s unwillingness
to prosecute HSBC was exposed by whistleblower John
Cruz, a former HSBC vice
president in New York, who
called the bank a “criminal
enterprise,” saying that the
fine imposed by the Department of Justice was “a
joke.” After being forced
out of HSBC, Cruz filed a
$10 million lawsuit against
HSBC, charging “retaliation
and wrongful termination.”
At that point, whistleblowers
in India and London joined
Cruz in charging that the
HSBC settlement amounted
to a “massive cover-up.”

labels anyone bringing
forth views exposing the
Muslim Brotherhood’s
plans as bigots or hatemongers. The investigation of the Dar al-Hijrah
Islamic Center, established in Falls Church,
Virginia, uncovered secret
documents revealing the
intents of the Brotherhood. These documents
named 30 major Muslim
organizations connected
with the Brotherhood as
front groups; including
the Council for AmericanIslamic Relations (CAIR)
and the Islamic Society
of North America. These
30 different groups were
listed as unindicted conspirators. FBI agent John
Guandolo says “every
major Muslim group in the
United States is controlled
by the Muslim Brotherhood…It is a genuine
conspiracy to overthrow
the government, and they
have organizations to do
it, and they have written
doctrines outlining their
plan.”
Our leaders seem
to be intent on pandering
to Islam, while stopping
the prayers of Christians.
Leaders around the world
have chosen to ignore the
growing jihadist movements around the world.
The steady flow of Arab

leaders blind and deaf to

His Love for Weekly Update
from Kay Stout,
Christ
Sent by Bill Ryan
On the “Today Show”, Matt
Lauer interviewed one of the
wives of one of the Navy Seals
killed along with the US ambassador in Libya He asked what
she would say to her children
about their dad and how she
would want them to remember
him. Her answer, and I quote,
“His love for Christ”, and then
continued on with a few other
things. Throughout the day and
on MSN homepage, replaying
the story, they have edited the
“Love of Christ” part out. Why?
Because using the word Christ
might offend someone! Well,
I am a Christian and I am offended! I’m offended that they
would edit it out. Offended that
we as Christians are asked to
tread lightly so as not to offend
someone of another religion. I
think anyone who missed the
original broadcast that morning should know what NBC
has done. THIS IS PROOF OF
HOW BIASED NBC IS. This
man loved his country and loved
his God and gave his life for
both, just as Christ gave His life
for him. Please feel free to copy
this and forward it to everyone
on your email list. There are
e-mails that go around saying,
“If you believe in God” then
forward this. Well, I am starting
one right here, right now. I am
not ashamed of God, but I am
becoming more ashamed of my
country. It is time to take a stand.
GOD Bless America ! God Bless
us one and all... Please GOD,
have mercy on us!

There are many similarities to
religion and rescue. Both involve deep conviction, passion,
goals, saving lives and people
- - - and people can make both
r’s very, very challenging.
Religious freedom is a cornerstone of America and animal
rescue (especially dogs and
cats) plays a significant role in
most communities. The challenge is when well-meaning,
hard-working, dedicated people
see different solutions. While
solutions may be diverse - acceptance can be a hard-fought
battle. When this happens,
too often the animals in need
of rescue can get lost in the
escalating word battle that can
occur on social media. While
social media has significantly
changed (and improved) animal
rescue - it has, unfortunately, all
to often been a written whipping
post for those with divergent
opinions.
