Save to Recipe Box! Rate This Item! Write A Review! Send To A Friend! Print It Out! Report A Bad Link! Share On Facebook Share On Twitter Cajun Seasoning - Make Your Own! Contributed by: Cajun Clark Here's a mix of spices that add zest--translated: taste great-- to fish, chops, steak, ribs, chicken, beef jerky, even hamburger. And for you veggie proponents, you should give your favorite beans, greens, peas and steamed cabbage a shot, make that a shake or two. Works wonders on the taste buds; unless you over do it, get carried away, forget what you have in your hand. Shake...Shake. . .SHAKE! Before you start mixing, playing like you're in the high school chemistry lab, you need to make a decision: Are you going to use teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, pints, quarts, gallons as your measuring stick, your measuring device? Regardless of which one you choose, just make sure you use the same one from start to finish. Also, when you've created this excellent seasoning mix, make sure you store it in an airtight container. Empty plastic spice containers work great. Oh, one last thing: mix ingredients thoroughly; give the container you're using a couple of good shakes. Now, open your spice cupboard, get ready to pull out the spices you'll need, and start measuring: 2 1/2 paprika 2 salt 2 garlic powder, granules or minced 1 black pepper 1 onion powder or granules 1 cayenne red pepper 1 1/4 dried leaf oregano 1 1/4 dried leaf thyme 1/2 crushed red pepper, optional Good, you're done, ready to enjoy some added zest to your menu. But, before you go runnin' off, please understand one fact: Recipes aren't set in concrete, in stone, you make the changes you deem warranted by your own experience. Cooking for many, including da ol' mon Caj, is a feeling-kind-of-thing. Go by the recipe the first time, then make adjustments to suit your taste. Caj's Seasoned Pepper In nearly every bread machine recipe book there's one for pepper bread, which is really good, tasty, great for ham sandwiches. But there's a hitch--relax, you knew there would be--the recipe calls for unsalted, no salt, seasoned pepper. Now maybe for those of you in close proximity to major well stocked supermarkets it's no big deal, but you can rest assured it is when you have to go to the big city, miles and miles away, to search their shelves. And then... When you start reading the labels you find that salt is one of the ingredients. Hmmm..... If you found that to be the case at the general store, and you found it a real needle-in-the-haystack search for unsalted, no salt, seasoned pepper at the "big" store, what's the answer? Read on... Here's the answer to that rhetorical question: concoct your own seasoned pepper mix; play scientist, a little of this a little of that. And presto, you have no salt, seasoned pepper ready to go when called on. Now that's not all bad, the price is "right" too. Again use the same measure for each (teaspoon, tablespoon, cup, etc.) 2 black pepper 2 cayenne pepper 1 garlic powder or granules 1/2 onion powder or granules Have fun. Now... Let's carry this "ATTITUDE" to it's logical conclusion. Which is? If you happen to be a creative, no-nonsense cook, which we all are given the chance, and you've created your own seasoned pepper, what about those other special seasonings? Like garlic pepper, garlic salt, seasoned salt, to name a few. Again, the answer's easy: you get out the spices, your measuring tools, and mix your own. True, you'll have to experiment some, but that's what makes it fun. Eventually, you'll get it right according to your taste. And that's all that really matters anyway, isn't it? Finally, don't forget these benefits: when you run out you mix another batch; you save money due to the lower cost of the spices you use; and, here's a biggie, there are no preservatives. Period. Uh oh, it's time for another detour. Open the Can Salsa Let's say you've decided you simply gotta have some salsa, your taste buds are driving you crazy. There's none in the pantry or the fridge, so you're going to make some. You have either from the can or fresh chopped or diced tomatoes. You've chopped an onion or decided to use dried onion flakes. And you've done the same with bell pepper, which is optional. You've even opened a can of chopped or minced green chilies, again optional. You've dumped it all in a bowl, mixed it around a little, and now you need to... SEASON to TASTE. Translation: Select one or more of the following spices: oregano, cilantro, crushed red pepper, garlic, salt, maybe some basil or thyme. Then you have to experiment. Here's how: First, taste each spice to determine flavor and strength. Second, decide which spices you are going to use. Third, take a small amount of your unseasoned salsa, then add a minimum amount of those spices you've selected. Mix. Taste. Now ask yourself, what's missing? what does it need more of? Fourth, add "the more of," mix, taste. Fifth, do it again if needed. Sixth, write down the amount of each spice you used for your entire batch; and type of veggie and the number of cans or fresh you used. Seventh, call it good and enjoy. ---------- Cajun Clark's monster 659-page eCookbook is no longer available.

( http://jahtruth.net/plan.htm) Hello and welcome to the newest and most unique Freedom Concept on the Internet. Your decision to print out and read this booklet will be the wisest one you will ever have made. THIS is the information that the men of the New World Order are absolutely terrified that you will discover, because contained in this free e-booklet and related free links, and other materials, are the seeds of their destruction. I guarantee that after reading this, your life and the way you look at life, will be changed forever! Study this material very carefully. In less than 180 days you could help defeat the New World Order using the ONLY plan that is guaranteed to work, which you are about to learn. With God on your side, helping you every step of the way, you'll be amazed at what you can achieve in such a short time! Let me give you an example of why it's important to get all of the facts before making a decision. If I promised you $5 million to jump out of an airplane without a parachute, would you do it? If you quickly answered "no" you lost an easy $5,000,000. You see, the plane I was asking you to jump from was parked on the ground. Don't lose a great opportunity by "jumping" to conclusions about the concepts you are about to read. Please go through the entire booklet before you make any judgments. Have you been futilely searching to live a joyful life in Peace, Freedom, and Justice under the rule of men's laws, only to find yourself on the outside looking in to their "Just Us" system? Are you tired of having your wealth, freedom, and God-given rights constantly eroded, or even brazenly stolen, by evil people working for an unjust system, stacked against you, and controlled by an unseen few? Have you been reading and hearing about an ever-increasing number of other freedom-loving people who have been actively battling the system, and caused you to wonder, "if so many people are waking up to what's really going on, then why are things continuing to get worse?" Have you been bravely fighting your OWN good fight, possibly even winning some battles or suffering persecution by the forces of evil, but feeling like the small but important victories are simply drops in the ocean? Does all this make you feel like the New World Order is going to win no matter what you do, and you've even considered giving up - that fighting it isn't worth all the effort? That is exactly how the N.W.O. wants you to feel, isn't it? Take heart, don't lose faith, all is not lost yet. Deep down, you know that Good will ALWAYS triumph over evil in the end, or you wouldn't have already felt the desire to fight evil and injustice, and help put things right. Can it possibly be that the forces of good are not prevailing against evil, because the freedom-fighters have not yet discovered HOW to fight them correctly? It has been said that, except for God our Father, and Christ - The Master, six of our greatest teachers are: Who, Why, What, When, Where, and How. In order to help you understand the only way HOW to wisely fight and defeat the New World Order, this booklet will draw from the source of all Wisdom (Father and His Christ), and present that Wisdom through the eyes of these six great teachers. Rejoice, your prayers have been answered and your search for The Way to True freedom, peace, and prosperity is now over, but the work to achieve it is just beginning. OK. Let's get going. I know you are eager to learn how to finally defeat the New World Order, and in doing so, be delivered out of the slavery of its sinister system. There is a lot to learn, and a very short time left in which to learn it, so follow this very carefully and whatever you do, don't quit - your life depends on learning this vital information! CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESS Before we proceed I want you to put aside any preconceived ideas you may have on how to defeat the New World Order. Forget all the advice you've been given until now. You need to concentrate on every single word you are about to read. If you are skeptical, put your doubts aside until you've finished reading the whole booklet, then you can decide whether the information I'm giving you is credible or not. In the meantime, just read on! If you have already had some negative experiences fighting the New World Order, forget about that too! You must understand that you have been working with fatally flawed concepts and techniques... even though they are still being used and taught by almost every "patriot/freedom fighter" Guru in America. Ask yourself, if any of these previous theories really worked, then why is the New World Order continuing to advance unabated toward its goal of totalitarian world domination, with the state of the world rapidly getting worse? The fact is, that all the other hotly promoted freedom techniques you may have heard about just don't work in the real world! To be truly successful in fully reclaiming ALL of your God-given rights of Life, Liberty, Peace, Joy, Health, and Abundant Prosperity, you will have to completely re-think your strategy and precepts. What I am going to show you is the new, simple all-conquering method that needs to be used by ordinary people to liberate themselves. Once you discover these techniques and start using them, you will wonder why everybody doesn't adopt the same strategies! They can make you FREE, sure and simple! The answer is SO obvious and logical that it has escaped the "patriot" community for decades, and was right in front of them and you ALL the time. Now is the time to have the scales removed from your eyes, and clearly see things as they really are. It is important to realize that fighting the New World Order is not at all like fighting an adversary who fights fair or follows rules. Nothing in the deceitful web of the Babylonian beast system is what it appears to be... except the fact that right now they have you tightly in their clutches, because you have not yet learned the right way to break free! I'll be talking quite a bit about the true nature of the Beast, and how to correctly fight on a whole different level, but right now, I just want you to understand that you can't think like a regular freedom-fighter and expect to be successful against this type of evil opponent! Most people come into the freedom movement, learning a few things, and then thinking they can prepare a dynamite "revocation and rescission" letter stating: they have learned about the fraud of the system, and that they are giving notice of revoking all implied contracts like having a social security number; and send certified copies of the letter to one or more government agencies, and then expect to receive a letter back saying, "Ok, now that you've caught us, we admit it. We are dreadfully sorry for sinning exceedingly. We acknowledge and confirm that you are no longer subject to our tyrranical bureaucracy, please don't send us any more money, and we will leave you alone from now on. And please don't send this confirmation letter to any of your freedom-loving friends." The results are invariably very disappointing! You can pack your letter with all sorts of questions and demands to be shown the valid laws that give them the alleged authority to do the fraudulent things they are doing, knowing that there are none, and you supply every court-case cite in the book (from your endless hours of legal research) that clearly demonstrates why you are NOT subject to their fraudulent laws... but it still won't work! It wasn't until I started studying the Bible techniques of Moses , David, Jesus, and some other highly successful spiritual giants, that I began to see where I was going wrong. I'm going to let you in on their secrets in a few minutes! Now I started to rethink my definition of success! I still wanted to be prosperous, but what's the good of having bundles of money stashed away in a bank account, unless you have the good health and freedom to enjoy it with your family and friends! What good is it if you have to work 18 hours a day on the system's treadmill , seven days of the week, or even gain the whole world and lose your soul (Luke 9:25)? You've got to be able to earn your daily bread automatically and without spending a lot of time and energy doing it! That freedom is what characterized the really successful dragon-slayers, and it's what I want for you and me! It's why I am sharing and giving you all this information free. If you follow it exactly as I've laid it out, it will bring you the kind of freedom that you've always dreamed of! In only a few weeks, you'll see the change in your life beginning. Then, gradually, the flow will increase, and the workload will diminish, until you'll be able to put your life on auto-pilot and turn your attention to the things that make life worthwhile. The first step in becoming a winner is to start thinking like one! You probably already know that a good self-image is important to your general well-being, but it's unlikely that you really realize how crucial it is to your success! If you are going to be free, you have to know that you are going to win. You have to view yourself as a truly free person and start thinking and acting like one. One of the most effective things you can do to bolster your self-image is to make sure that you are emulating Jesus at all times. Matthew 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this government, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Now that your commitment to freedom and prosperity is firm, tell your family and friends. Study the Master's Plan! Make sure everyone knows you are serious! You are going to be working very hard for the next couple of months, and you will need their support. Set your mind on establishing The Kingdom and there'll be nothing holding you back. Go for it! Moses said: "Proclaim Liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." That's true, but there are some rules you must follow to make the Kingdom a reality! THREE IMPORTANT KEYS TO SUCCESS The first key is Divine Timing. Being in the right place at the right time and being on the right side. Well, this is the right time and the right place. You wouldn't be reading this if you didn't already believe that, would you? Get in tune with God's Master Plan - not only fighting injustice The Way He wants you to, but doing those things at the right times that He wants them done. But you must also make sure you are completely on the right side. "To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born , and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal ; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. By the time you finish reading this booklet, you will learn that NOW is the time to fight. The second key is God-guided Vision. You have to be able to see the opportunity and predict your eventual success. I hope that by the end of this booklet I will have opened your eyes to the fantastic opportunities available to you in the Master's Plan. If I can do that, you'll be on your way to a fulfilling, wonderful new life. Within a very short time, you'll have more freedom than you ever dreamed possible. The third key is determined Action. This is the most critical of the three Keys ... taking immediate advantage of the opportunity at hand.... getting started right away before the window of opportunity closes! Everyone knows that "every journey begins with just a single step" but some illogical fear of failure keeps most people from ever starting on the road to freedom! However, all of these fears vanish if you have an all-consuming goal. Obstacles are nothing but frightful things that appear when you take your mind off your goals. If you are serious about establishing a free and prosperous society, then read on. Actually, I could think of a thousand reasons for not becoming involved even though I hate the Beast-system! So could you. But that will never lead us to a life of freedom and prosperity. We should instead, examine every opportunity for ways that the Master's Plan can work for us. Remember, opportunity knocks just once. Misfortune leans on the doorbell! Knowing that success is the result of actions not intentions, would you put off setting out on that journey to freedom, if I can show you how to do it quickly, with practically no capital outlay, and a minimum of effort? I hope not, because that is exactly what I am going to do and I am trusting that you'll grasp the concept and run with it as fast as you can! Whatever you do, don't let this amazing opportunity slip out of focus. When you have finished reading this manual, act immediately! Pass it to as many other people as you can. Wisdom says that if you are going to make a change in your life, you should do it immediately and determinedly! Whatever you do, when you finish reading this booklet, get started immediately developing your new life ....and do it "determinedly"... with all the energy, enthusiasm and determination you can muster! You've got to be either part of the steam roller, or part of the pavement. The three keys above are the catalyst that make the following Success Secrets work. But they won't do you any good if you don't act at once and put them to work for you right away. Remember, you aren't alone in wanting to be free. There are millions of other people trying to set themselves free too and they are your potential allies! Don't wait until they've committed to something else that will only fail, like all the other plans they have made in the past! Start today and you could be free and prosperous, within 180 days! As important as they are, however, the keys will do nothing more than get you started on the road to success. Now you have to learn how to "walk the walk". To do that you will need to know some important background information, to put things in perspective and keep you in balance. AN IMPORTANT LESSON FROM HISTORY It has also been said that, "Those who refuse to learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them". That makes sense, doesn't it? If that quote holds true, then in order to understand your situation of today, and avoid making the same tragic mistake (s), it would be helpful to search back in time for an identical situation, then examine and compare it to yours. What created those circumstances, both then and now? How were those times the same as today, and how were they different? Can you think of an identical situation? If none comes immediately to mind, then please allow me to pick one that can be found in what has proven to be the MOST (ONLY) reliable and accurate history book in the world: The Holy Bible (King of kings' Version; and previously, the Authorised king James Version). The beginning of our story takes place nearly 4,000 years ago. Through a unique sequence of events, as described in the Book of Genesis chapters 37 & 38-41, Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob/Israel became the governor/ruler of all of Egypt; second only to, and as appointed by, the pharaoh. When famine struck Egypt and the rest of the known world, including the land of Canaan where Jacob and his family dwelt, Joseph saved all his kin, as detailed in Genesis chapters 42-45, by bringing them from Canaan, feeding them for the remaining five years of the famine, and the pharaoh giving them land in the Goshen territory, which was the best land in all of Egypt (Gen. 47:5-11). The Israelites in Egypt, initially under Joseph and in succeeding generations, prospered and multiplied immensely. They were a separate nation within the geo-political boundaries of another nation, but were not under man-made Egyptian law. Under God's Perfect "Royal Laws of Liberty", with Him as their only Ruler, each Israelite family was economically independent. They had their own land within Egypt, they grew their own crops, raised their own livestock (cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, and possibly fowl & other small game), and made their own clothes from their own wool, cotton, and animal skins, and did so in such abundance that they could share or sell their surplus goods. In short, God supplied more than all that they needed to sustain themselves. They knew their neighbors well and there was a strong sense of community. Except for the busy planting and harvesting seasons, they had plenty of free time to enjoy the blessings of living free, quiet lives and also the time to pass on their Godly knowledge and customs to their children (Deut. 6:7). Without having a formalized system of written laws, for several generations the early Israelites were giving God's demonstration of how wonderful it was to live under His Laws, with Him as their only sovereign; living in joy, peace, freedom, self-reliance, and prosperity, and their number grew from the 75 that initially occupied Goshen, including Jacob/Israel, to around three million Israelites (Ex. 1:6-7). Then a pharaoh and his advisors came to power in Egypt, who didn't know (or didn't care to know) how God had used His servant Joseph to save Egypt, and were very fearful of being overrun by the Israelites, so they sought to bring them under Egyptian control. Instead of marvelling at their system of success and wanting to join them, the pharaoh plotted with his government advisors to take them and their property another way (Ex. 1:8-10). They couldn't attack the Israelites militarily because the Egyptians were far outnumbered, and the Israelites were a closely knit community, despite their vast numbers. The Israelites would have to be tempted, seduced, and deceived, into volunteering into bondage - gradually and subtly - and then the pharaoh could "legally" (under men's laws) confiscate their wealth. The details of this process are sketchy at best, but it appears that Egypt underwent a huge program of "public works construction projects", of such a grand scale that created enough steady-paying jobs in the cities to offer/entice the flourishing and industrious Israelite population. If the pharaoh's target audience, the Israelites, already had all that they needed, as provided by God, then exactly what could have possibly influenced them to give up that idyllic way of life to work in the cities? That is hard to know for certain, but the Israelites were giving God's demonstration in the midst of the Egyptian Empire and at the crossroads of the entire known world at that time, so it was only a matter of time before outsiders and travelers would see their example and desire to reject Satan's market-system and man-made Egyptian "laws" themselves, and want to join Israel, spreading the word, and enlarging Israel's borders. God's Plan was to gradually graft-in the surrounding peoples & nations until the entire world became the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Since Satan's plan is the opposite of God's plan, he couldn't sit still and let that happen. He HAD to get the Israelites away from giving God's demonstration and into his worldly market-system. He is the ultimate salesman/con-man, and it was all-important for him then (as it always is), to attempt to thwart God's Plan, so he not only (telepathically) dictated to the Egyptians all the most appealing things to say, but was also whispering in the mind's ears of the Israelites the things that would most cause them to believe those lies. We human+Beings have a very long and consistent history of listening to Satan's seductive lying voice, then believing it, giving in to temptation, and doing our own will (Satan's really) instead of God's; you only need to read the stories of Adam & Eve, Cain & Able, Noah vs. the rest of the world; and Abraham vs. the people of Sodom & Gomorrah for proof of that. Given our Free-will, God allows Satan to tempt us as much as he wants (Job 1:6-12, 2:1-10), which provides God with countless opportunities to know which voice we prefer to listen to: either God (through the Holy Spirit) or Satan (through the selfish human nature); and whether we choose to do good or evil. Also, human memories are short, and humans tend to get complacent when everything is going great. They are more likely to relax their standards and over time forget the very foundations and principles they followed that brought them to that "everything is going great" situation. Complacency can breed the mind-set of wanting to try "new, foreign, exotic, etc." things - because "having it all" isn't enough for humans: the selfish, greedy, human nature always wants more. This also seems to foster a short-term or short-sighted perspective. Perhaps, especially to the young adults, life in the city appeared more exciting than "just watching the grass grow". The easily accessible shops with their availability, amounts, and varieties of: foods, clothing, goods, idols, entertainment, and "modern conveniences" of those times, could have been very dazzling and seductive. They probably started out just working in the cities and commuting from their farms, maybe believing the jobs would only be temporary, but then actually sold the farms and bought houses in the cities to be closer to their jobs, after it appeared the "employment" was permanent, thereby losing their independent ability to feed and clothe themselves. Whatever the specific "carrots on the sticks" were, the Israelites were lured into leaving the land to initially work in the Egyptian government/market system as "employees". Because they had volunteered into joining the Egyptian economic system, and were receiving "benefits" from it, they were then bound by Egyptian law and required to pay the 20% "increase tax" previously established for the Egyptians by Joseph (Gen. 47:23-26). After a couple of generations of living in the cities/flesh-pots of Egypt, the Israelites lost their knowledge and experience of agriculture and would have found it difficult to return to that simpler more healthy way of life. Once they became dependent on their Egyptian government jobs, the Israelites became economic slaves, and then later turned into out-and-out slaves. As a people, the Israelites went from enjoying an unequalled existence of peace and abundance, letting God provide for their earthly needs, under His Royal Laws of Liberty, to joining Satan's market system and putting their faith in the "market forces" influences of: supply and demand - and their inherent fluctuations and even artificial manipulations. These fluctuations may have created boom & bust cycles, and under those conditions, the Israelites may have had to borrow (usury) during lean times. They also may have borrowed during plentiful times in order to buy "big ticket" items that they felt they needed immediately (instant gratification), instead of putting money aside over time to save up and buy them without usury. The Israelites had assimilated into, and adopted, the idolatrous Egyptian ways and customs, and were no longer giving God's demonstration. The descendants of Jacob/Israel had clearly fallen a long way from believing only God, as Abraham did - and they had to be humbled, before God would fulfill His unconditional promises made to Abraham. Allowing the Israelites to fall into Egyptian slavery served an important purpose in God's Master Plan: to train and prepare them to be His SERVANT nation and DEMONSTRATION people (Matt. 23:11-12; Mark 9:34-35; Luke 22:24-27). Hopefully, remembering our slavery and remembering being delivered from it by God, would help us to always remain grateful , obedient , and, above all, humble, and that yearly reminder was the main purpose for the Feast of Passover (Ex. 13:3-10; Deut. 8:2-3, 16:1-12, 24:17-22), but it is the doom of men that they forget - even with written Laws and other reminders. Could that be the reason why Father is once again allowing us to suffer under our enemy's burdens? So when He delivers us (those who turn to Him) a third time out of slavery, we will NEVER again forget; like we did twice before; how awful it is to believe that we know best, wrongfully believing we can run the world better than Him, rather than simply trusting and obeying God, AND humbly doing His Will instead of our own? Another reason the Israelites may have been more easily lured away from, and then forgotten, their Godly principles was because those principles were taught orally, from memory. Once people spent too much time working daily in the market system and became pre-occupied with "having and getting", those oral teaching customs fell out of practice. The next time, it would be different. The written Mosaic Covenant: the Commandments, Laws, Statutes, Judgments, Agricultural Policy, Economic Policy, and Diet, AND the Israelites' knowing, their voluntarily, and intentionally sworn oath to DO according to that Covenant (Ex. 19:7-8; Deut. 5:23-29, 26:16-18, 27:11-26, 29:14-15; Josh. 24:15-16); was to serve as the schoolmaster to bring men to Christ (Gal. 3:23-27), and as an objective reference guide for the people to know if/when they were doing wrong and how to correct it. The Sabbath Law/Commandment sets aside one full day of rest per week, to be used to study and teach The Law, without any distractions such as any type of work. The Levitical priests were to administer The Law, including performing the sacrificial rites for those people who transgressed The Law and who brought their sin offerings for atonement (at-one-ment), to restore their "oneness" with God. The ancient Israelites of about 1500 B.C. had been in Egypt for 430 years (Ex. 12:40), though it is unclear exactly how much of that time they were free versus how many years they were in transition to, and then in, outright bondage. What IS clear is that their oppression reached a point where the suffering under pharaoh's "laws" became so unbearable, they cried out to God for deliverance (Ex. 2:23-25). God heard their cries and through His servant Moses, led them out of Egyptian slavery (Ex. 3:1-12). On Mt. Sinai, God gave Moses the "Perfect Laws of Liberty", in the form of the stone tablets containing the first Ten Commandments, and 5 scroll Books of His Laws, Statutes, Judgments, Agricultural Policy, Economic Policy, and Diet; also known as The Torah (Hebrew, meaning " The Law "), which comprises the first five books of The Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Would keeping The Law be any easier or different for the Israelites who witnessed firsthand God's Power in: the 10 Plagues of Egypt, the Fire in the Sky, the parting of the Red Sea, the manna from heaven, the water from the Rock, etc.? Unfortunately, even with all those miracles and wonders that God showed them still fresh in their minds, they still doubted and disobeyed Him and, among other disgraceful incidents, they created the golden calf, while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the stone tablets and 5 scroll Books of The Law. Moses even said later, "Ye have been rebellious against the "I AM" from the day that I knew you" (Deut. 9:24). Later, during the Joshua-led conquest of Canaan, the Israelites didn't always follow God's instructions (Deut. 7:1-6, 12:1-3, 20:1-18), not always completely destroying the conquered people and their idols (Josh. 7:1, 11-26, 13:13, 16:10, 17:12-13). When Moses presented God's Laws to the people, it was part of a spiritual marriage ceremony: God the husband, the nation as His wife, and taking His name - thence being called "Israel" (meaning: "Champion of God"), and the Israelite people as the "children of Israel". It was at this wedding ceremony that all parties took their solemn vows and entered into a Covenant relationship. Except to some extent during the reigns of kings David and Solomon, Israel as God's wife-nation, has never kept its promises made at Mt. Sinai, and has never fully been God's "demonstration people" on Earth, of how wonderful it is to live under His Perfect Laws of Liberty. We are told in Deuteronomy, chapter 28, that if we follow The Law, we will be Blessed and everyone will enjoy their share of the abundance of crops that God promised that He would make grow in the land ( without the need for chemical sprays and fertilizers), and He would fight our enemies for us (Deut. 20:3-4, 28:7); but if we don't follow The Law and allow greedy evil men to make up their own laws to suit themselves, the land would fail and we will suffer slavery, oppression, pestilence, disease, famine and death (the rat race - employee is just a modernized word meaning slave - think about it) under The Curses written into The Law as a punishment for not following it. God, unlike men, ALWAYS keeps His promises, and warned us pointedly in those same Books of The Law, that we WOULD be unfaithful to Him, and when we did He would put away His wife, the nation Israel, and drive the children into the hands of our enemies, and then make us forget who we are (our Kingdom Identity). He also promised that if we, the "children of Israel" would turn to Him and return to keeping His Laws in The Covenant, even in the Latter Days , then He would deliver us (Deut. 4:23-40) out of our enemy's hands. The Israelites had failed to keep His Laws in the Promised Land of Palestine. The Kingdom was first split into the 10-tribed Northern Kingdom of Israel and the 2-Tribed Southern Kingdom of Judaea. Then, because the Israelites failed to repent and return to His Laws, just as God promised/prophesied, the people of the Northern Kingdom were carried off into captivity and slavery again, this time by the Assyrians, around 722 B.C. The people of the ten northern tribes were released from Slavery, when the Assyrian Empire fell (Isa. 66:19), because they had repented and sworn to go forth into a new land to keep The Law there, that they had not kept in their own land. Over time they migrated ("scattered abroad") to the North & West to God's appointed "place of safety" in "the isles afar off", and then eventually lost the knowledge of their identity. Also as God had promised, because they also failed to repent and return to His Laws, the people of the Southern Kingdom were similarly carried off into captivity and a second period of slavery, this time by the Babylonians around 604 - 588 B.C., with some dispersing to the North & West, but also a remnant returning to Palestine. The people of the Southern Kingdom were released to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the House of God and keep The Law there and throughout Judaea. About 600 years later, God our Father sent His eldest Son, known to us on Earth as Christ Jesus, to be an incarnated, living example of The Way (Covenant) in action and how we must be in order to enter His Kingdom, in other words, how to keep here on Earth, God's unchanging Laws of the Universe. Christ Jesus came not to destroy The Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them, and even added the spiritual dimension, plus two Commandments - making the 12 Laws of Heaven - the Twelve Commandments. The Law was the schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, and Christ came the first time and will soon come again, as The Master to bring us (those who want to) back to keeping The Law. God also promised that, in the "Latter Days", He would send a leader to re-gather and reunite ALL 12 Tribes of Israel under one banner , or ensign (Isa. 11:1-16), and deliver them a third and final time out of the slavery of men's evil laws and system, that they have sold themselves into, again. Why did God make all these promises to, and a Covenant with, the Israelites? What was so special about them? For the answer to those questions, we must briefly go further back in time to Abraham, who was the twentieth generation of the lineage of Adam, and tenth generation from Noah. Abraham loved his son Isaac more than anything else in the world. Isaac was the "miracle" son and heir that he waited 100 years to have; but Abraham loved God even more. He was given the ultimate test to prove that love by having to offer Isaac as a sacrifice to God; and having passed the test, was stopped by God at the last moment, and became a "friend of God". After Abraham proved his faithfulness, God made promises to him and his descendants - promises that were unconditional, and taken together are known as the Abrahamic Covenant. When God used His servant Moses to lead Abraham's descendants out of Egyptian slavery, He made some more promises to them, but unlike the Abrahamic Covenant, the "Mosaic Covenant" was wholly conditional. His promises were either Blessings or Curses, and what they received depended on whether or not the Israelites were keeping their promises to God under that contract / Covenant. Is there anything vaguely familiar to you about this story? Could a parallel be drawn between it and America's history beginning with the Puritans and Pilgrims, in the early 1600's, to its accelerating decline over the last 100 years, to today? Although most of them are asleep in its matrix, can you see that all Americans have been secretly led into, and are now under, an oppressive system of economic bondage, as God predicted, - "But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them trapped in [pigeon] holes," (like 9 to 5 pigeon holes, the jobs that they have, where they work as slaves for the system), "and they are hid in prison houses:" (a lot of people have been wrongly imprisoned), "they are for a prey, and no-one delivereth [them]; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore [their share to them]. Who among you will give ear to this? [who] will hearken and hear for the time to come?" (Who will listen to this? Who will listen? Are YOU listening to this? Are you taking notice? This is Father speaking to you telling you what's wrong). Isa. 42:22-23, - and only a short time away from being turned into obvious slaves? Can you see that it has been a patiently gradual process (known as "Fabianism") of getting the would-be slaves to unknowingly volunteer themselves into slavery, little by little, until the oppressors decide it is the right time to remove the veil of deception - just as the Egyptian pharaohs did to the early Israelites? You may be thinking, "when did God predict all this would happen in America? Nothing is ever mentioned about Americans in the Bible and Koran." The Covenant was made between God and the Israelites of 3,500 years ago, so how did YOU become obligated to perform under that Covenant? When did YOU become a "modern Israelite"? Later in this booklet you will find a listing of the "modern dispersion" Israelite nations of today's world. Depending on what you have read and studied, you may or may not know that if you are living in one of those countries, which includes; but is not limited to; all of the English-speaking nations, then you are most likely a true racial descendant of Jacob/Israel, or you are a "stranger" (non-Israelite) living within the gates/camp of Israel. According to The Law, ALL of Jacob/Israel's descendants, and ANYONE living within True Israel's borders, including non-Israelites, are bound by The Covenant. Deuteronomy 29:10 Ye stand this day all of you before the "I AM" your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] all the men of Israel, 29:11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that [is] in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: 29:12 That thou shouldest enter into Covenant with the "I AM" thy God, and into His Oath, which the "I AM" thy God maketh with thee this day: 29:13 That He may establish thee to day for a people unto Himself, and [that] He may be unto thee a God, as He hath said unto thee, and as He hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob/Israel. 29:14 Neither with you ONLY do I make this Covenant and this Oath; 29:15 But with [him] that standeth here with us this day before the "I AM" our God, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day [ thy children, in PERPETUITY ]: Deuteronomy 31:12 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the "I AM" your God, and observe to do all the words of this Law: 31:13 And [that] their children , which have not known [any thing], may hear, and learn to fear the "I AM" your God, as long as ye live in the land where ye go over Jordan to possess it. All that is happening to the True Israelites today, is all predicted in prophecy in the Holy Bible. If you study The Bible closely, you would find that a full two-thirds of it is prophecy. When properly interpreted, it is clear that more than ninety-nine percent of those Biblical prophecies, which are given by The Ruler of The Universe (Who ALWAYS keeps His promises), have already been fulfilled in exact and minute detail, as can be proven by comparing His Prophecies to known world history. In fact, these prophecies have been fulfilled in SUCH exact and minute detail, that it is but a tiny demonstration beyond our limited comprehension, of the awe-inspiring, infinite mind that conceived and meticulously carried out this Master Plan. Ask yourself, wouldn't it be reasonable and logical to believe that the remaining less than one percent of those prophecies will also be fulfilled, likewise, in exact and minute detail? What about our Free-will to choose to keep The Covenant or not? Wouldn't that affect the carefully laid-out blueprint? God's Plan for us was set-up in such a way that the history of the True Israelite people, and the rest of world history for that matter, has always flowed along two possible paths. God's promises were stated in such a way that He was always able to keep them, whether we kept our promises or not. So that's the situation that we're in today, but not for any lack of God's warnings to us. He's told us what would happen: the people have their noses to the grindstone, everybody's oppressed, and people have been robbed under false legislation. YHWH ("I AM"), or Father, has been calling to His people, and He says: Isaiah 42:18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. 42:19 Who [is] blind, but My servant? or deaf, as My messenger [that] I sent? who [is] as blind as [he that thinks he is] perfect, and blind as the "I AM"'s servant (Israel)? 42:20 Seeing many things, but thou takest no notice; opening the ears, but he heareth not. 42:21 The "I AM" is well pleased for His Righteousness' sake; He will magnify The Law, and make [it] honourable (Deut. 33:21). He's obviously not talking about physically deaf and blind people, He's talking about spiritually deaf and blind people, because He says "Look and hear that you may see and hear"; and the "I AM"'s servant, the messenger, the people that He's talking to, are the people Israel, the "10 Lost Tribes" of True Israel which includes the American people. As you have read above, and will find later in the "modern dispersion" listing, you are included as a modern Israelite. You'll notice in verse 21 it says, "He will magnify The Law, and make [it] honourable". He doesn't say the American Constitution, which we'll discuss in detail later in this booklet. He doesn't say the English Legal System. He says "The Law", and He means His Law, in the Bible, in the Torah, which is in The Covenant, the original of which is buried at the Hill of Tara, and that's what we need to recover - as an unmistakable, undeniable Call for everyone to return to it. Some would observe that because of modern technology (including communications/monitoring), and the fact that every territory on the Earth is claimed to be ruled by one man-made government or another, that the oppressive situation is much worse today than in any previous era, including the times of the pharaohs. That may be true, but one common element in the "voluntary slavery" process is the loss of personal, self-sustaining land, regardless of levels of technology (see Protocol 6, #4 ). The majority of Americans are now living in cities and suburbs for the convenience of living near their place of work. They only need a "job" because they have left God's Laws and His blessings, and the land which provided all of their needs. The trend of people leaving the self-sustaining land to move to the cities, and leaving the farming of the nation's food supply in the hands of less people, created a "farming market-system industry", and created the necessity of those fewer farmers to borrow money for automated, labor-saving farming equipment to work their larger farms. Who did they borrow money from? The Hidden Hand banksters, of course. Then, through the Hidden Hand's manipulation of the financial, futures, and commodities markets, they drove many farmers into bankruptcy and forced them to sell their farms to corporate farming companies owned by... the Hidden Hand. Those in the suburbs and more rural areas may have enough land for a token vegetable garden and some fruit trees, but nothing like a fully self-sustaining amount of acreage sufficient to include grainfields and livestock grazing, plus the facilities to store and process those raw foods into "dinner table" forms of meat, breads, dairy, etc. They still have to go to the supermarket for most of their food, fulfilling Columba/Columcille's prophecy about "Milk over the country will be churned in one churn" (centralization of food production, processing, and distribution), and be dependent on someone else to ensure a plentiful supply, and at a fair price (see Protocol 3, #7 ). In the cities (high concentrations of Satan's evil market system) it is even worse, as people are packed into row-houses, tenement buildings, and high-rises, without any land except perhaps a window/terrace flower box. Even those who believe they own their land are deceived, because if they are paying property taxes to the current "legal owner" (under men's fraudulent legislation), then they are only the equitable owner - a tenant, like in the feudal system (please see the Ames excerpt below). The fastest way to find out who is the legal owner is to stop paying property tax and see who sends you notices, or knocks on your door, demanding payment. In addition to being land-less, and having to buy the basic living necessities like food, clothing, electricity, water, etc., from someone in the market system, your oppressive enemy monitors and controls your day-to-day personal life. They maintain this control through compulsory: permits; zoning ordinances; government inspectors and "needing" their approval; universal identification numbers, like the Social Security Number, required for almost every application form and transaction; licenses (marriage, business, professional, hunting, fishing, etc.); birth certificates; state-issued travel documents (driver licenses, passports); registration of property (cars, boats, etc.), etc. They also use sophisticated and comprehensive information collection and processing like: closed circuit t.v. cameras on street corners to monitor neighborhoods, with "eliminating street crime" given as the official reason; the census and computerization of all personal records with sharing or selling of your information by those who have access to it; computer software with trojan horses and backdoors built-in, to snoop through your personal computer files; fingerprint and DNA databanks; and progression to an electronic-commerce "cash-less" system, to track every single transaction; and more. This is to say nothing of the fact that since you are operating in their market system, you are forced to use their "money" as well, and they control and manipulate its relative value. Your enemy has its own private, corporate police (Note: they are NOT lawful "peace officers") and other various "law" enforcement agencies and bureaucracies, to make sure you comply with their policies , created by the legislation of political parties and politicians , making more and more things "illegal" to extort fines and other moneys from honest Law-abiding people. Are the modern Israelites crying out yet for God's help, or have things not gotten quite unbearable enough yet? Do you have children? Then you are forced to have their healthy bodies injected with some kinds of substances (does anyone really know what is in those syringes?) under the government's vaccination/innoculation program ( see Protocol 10 ), or they can't attend compulsory government public or private schools. Do you "home-school" your children? Then you must do so in accordance with their rules, approved curriculum, and supervision. Stephen Ames in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, while fighting the tax system, was being persecuted under the official government charge (among other unfounded and ludicrous charges) of "teaching from The Bible, without training". The real reason is: that he is dangerous to the Hidden Hand's plan because he researches, uncovers, and promotes the Truth of their frauds. Here is an excerpt from one of his essays, "The Ultimate Delusion", containing some facts (with references) about what you THINK is yours. * * * "The primary control and custody of infants is with the government" Tillman V. Roberts. 108 So. 62 "Marriage is a civil contract to which there are three parties - the husband, the wife and the state." Van Koten v. Van Koten. 154 N.E. 146. "The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State: individual so-called 'ownership" is only by virtue of Government, i.e. law amounting to mere user; and use must be in accordance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State. Senate Document No. 43 73rd Congress 1st Session. (Brown v. Welch supra) "The right of traffic or the transmission of property, as an absolute inalienable right, is one which has never existed since governments were instituted, and never can exist under government." Wynehamer v. The People. 13 N.Y. Rep.378, 481 "...You own no Property because you are a slave. Really you are worse off than a slave because you are also a debtor... Don't let this information alarm you because without it you cannot be free. You have to understand that all slavery and freedom originates in the mind. When your mind allows you to accept and understand that the United States, Great Britain and the Vatican are corporations which are nothing but fictional entities which have been placed into your mind, you will understand that our slavery is because we believe in fictions." - Stephen Ames. * * * Government agencies, like the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) in New Jersey, will come to your home with a court order, abduct your children, and put them into their sinister foster care system. Many of these foster parents in that system are unfit, to say it kindly, and are only doing it to receive government living subsidies which they spend on themselves. There are countless accounts of children unnecessarily living in unhealthy (physically & mentally), unloving, and even dangerous environments, being repeatedly moved from one foster home to another, and suffering from sexual and other abuse; in addition to the initial and ongoing trauma of being taken from their happy, stable, natural family. Meanwhile, the natural parents' life is hell attempting to find and regain custody of their own children, and all of this nightmare situation is usually based on a mere (usually trumped-up) suspicion of the natural parents impropriety, which the government agency never bothers to prove. It sounds like the agency is correctly named, since the service it seems to provide is the forced, unlawful division of the youths (children) from their Godly family. God created humans as males and females as part of His plan for teaching, with the human family being the most basic unit of society for instruction. In fact, The Law commands the parents to teach The Law to their children (Deut. 6:4-9, 11:18-20). Satan's government/market system, with its "state-as-owner-and-protector from cradle to grave" mentality, attempts to destroy God's plan by usurping the natural parents and The Law's place in the life of a child. If that is the opposite of His plan, then why would God let that happen? As briefly mentioned earlier, The Covenant contains Curses as a punishment. Among those Curses, God promised to deliver YOU into the hands of your enemies (Deut. 28:25, 47-52, 68), and give your children to your enemies (Deut. 28:32, 41). Are you still wondering why all this is happening yet AGAIN? Why did Father allow this to happen to you? Why would He curse and punish His people? Why did He allow you to end up trapped in pigeon holes, robbed and spoiled, hidden in prison houses, to be for a prey, and no-one is delivering you; for a spoil, and none says, Restore your share to you? Hopefully you've already discovered and understand the reason "why". History has repeated itself because of the two tragic unlearned lessons of: 1) failing to analyse the mistakes of the past, to avoid repeating them, and 2) failing to realize that the root cause is: living under men's laws instead of keeping God's Laws in The Covenant. Isaiah 42:24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the "I AM", He against Whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in His Ways, neither were they obedient unto His Law. 42:25 Therefore He hath poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him (Israel - the American people and all the other related peoples) on fire round about, yet he understood not; and it burned him, yet he took [it] not to heart (did not learn from it). Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of My Knowledge: because thou hast rejected My Knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me: seeing thou hast forgotten The Law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against Me: [therefore] will I change their glory into shame. Quite clearly Father is telling you that He has allowed this to happen to teach you a lesson, and the reason it's all happened, is because you haven't kept His Law. You haven't kept His Ways, His Statutes, and His Judgments, "neither were they obedient unto His Law." The Israelites are suffering under it, and they still haven't learned the lesson! That you're only suffering, and you are only being allowed to suffer by Father, because they/you're not keeping His Law, which was given to Israel to protect them/you from oppression by these rich and powerful people of the New World Order. In Scripture it says, "I will go [and] return to My place, till they (Israel) acknowledge their offence, and seek My face: in their affliction they will seek Me early " (Hosea 5:15). So He is allowing all this to happen to His people, for them/you to be afflicted, so that they/you will seek Him, and seek the solution to their/your problem (Ps. 119:65-80). Now that you have a better understanding of WHO YOU ARE and WHY this suffering has happened to you, then the obvious solution of WHAT to do and WHEN to do it would be: come out of the worldly Egypt/Babylon slave/market system, and return to God's Royal Laws of Liberty, now! But wait a minute, what about those people who are already trying to come out of Egypt/Babylon, and are suffering persecution for their efforts, and perhaps you are one of them? Are you someone who is living as best he can without using a Social Security Number, opted out of the income tax system, driving a car without a state-issued license and license plates, etc., and dealing with all of the bureaucratic and "legal" attention that goes along with it? With the good intention of becoming more successful fighting the enemy, some "freedom-lovers" manage to find and form groups with like-minded people (strength in numbers). These well-intentioned people keep getting themselves into trouble because they don't understand what the Bible says, and they don't understand that God has already told them all this is going to happen, and He's told them exactly what to do to put it right. He will let them get into trouble, and you'll have Wacos, and you'll have all sorts of other problems until you turn back to God in your affliction, you seek Him early, and return to His Law. Your enemy knows exactly what all these "resistance" groups are doing. They send their agents to infiltrate them, and while these covert agents pretend to be against the New World Order, they monitor and encourage those true freedom-loving people to show themselves, so the Hidden Hand know who to pick-off or round-up at the right time ( See Protocol 18 ). All the while, the N.W.O. distracts the sleeping masses with entertainment, sports, gossip, etc. ( Protocol 13, #3 ). It gets to a point where you become paranoid and don't know who you can trust anymore. In trying to protect and preserve your privacy and freedom, you live your life almost like a fugitive, trying to live between the cracks in the system, waking up every day wondering, "is THIS the day when they bang on my door and move against me?" Wouldn't the simpler solution be to scrap the counterfeit system altogether and just live? Deuteronomy 28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the "I AM" shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 28:66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 28:67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were evening! and at evening thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. At the beginning of this booklet, the question was posed, and part of the answer was given in the question: Can it possibly be that these well-intentioned people are not prevailing against evil, because the freedom-fighters have not yet discovered HOW to fight them correctly? If God promised to deliver you INTO the hand of your enemies, as a punishment, and it is apparent that He has made good on that promise, then it would seem there is another WHO involved. God has also promised to help you deliver yourself OUT of your enemy's hand (Deut. 30:1-8), IF you do it His Way and follow His instructions exactly. Before we can look at the When, Where, How, and What God wants you to do, we should first closely examine exactly who your enemy is. THE HIDDEN HAND Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. One key to defeating your enemy is KNOWING your enemy better than he knows you. Metaphorically, they know what you ate for breakfast today, so you need to know, not only what they ate today, but what they plan on eating tomorrow. So, who is it that knows so much about you? There is a very small, highly organized, (materially) super-rich, ultra-secret group of extremely evil people who are secretly running the entire world from behind the scenes. Governments, policy think-tanks, media, educational organizations and foundations, are all just among the visible part of their structure that they allow you to see. You may be familiar with the names of people like Rothschild, Oppenheimer, Rockefeller, Bronfman, queen Elizabeth 2, the pope/Vatican , etc., and organizations like: the Committee of 300 , the Pilgrim Society, the Fabian Society, the Illuminati , the Bilderbergers, the Round Table, the Club of Rome, the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA), the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral Commission, the United Nations Organisation, and others; but these are all inter-connected components of the world wide conspiracy that can simply be called by one name: the Hidden Hand. There is nothing new about the "New World Order". What you may not be fully aware of is that the current, organized, Satanic conspiracy for world domination against God and His "champion of God", Jacob/Israel, provably goes back at least 2,600 years, and the seeds of its origin are provably almost 4,000 years old! How can that be proven ? By looking it up in our ultra-reliable history ( His story) book, written by the Ruler of the Universe, Whose words are never wrong. Earlier in this booklet it was stated that God made unconditional promises/blessings to Abraham (Gen. 22:15-18), because he proved his worthiness through his humility and 100% trust in God. God promised to exceedingly multiply and bless Abraham and his descendants, and give them possession and control of the key strategic areas of the Earth, and that ALL families of the Earth would eventually be blessed - through Abraham and his seed (Gen. 12:1-3): specifically through the lineage of Isaac (Gen. 21:12, 26:1-6) and Jacob (Gen. 25:23, 28:10-15), since God repeated those blessings directly to them. Abraham had passed on God's unconditional Blessings to his rightful heir, Isaac, who possessed the lawful Birthright, being the eldest/only son of Abraham's first wife, Sarah. Abraham previously had a son, Ishmael, with Sarah's handmaid/bondwoman, Hagar, and after Sarah's death (Gen. 23:2) he would also have other sons with his second wife, Keturah (Gen. 25:1-2), but according to The Law, Isaac possessed the natural Birthright unless he somehow proved himself to be unworthy. Isaac proved his worthiness of both the Blessing and the Birthright, (just as Abraham did - through his humility and 100% trust in God) by allowing himself to be sacrificed by Abraham on Mt. Moriah. Then came the potential for division or conflict, and where the seeds of today's conspiracy are found, when Isaac and his wife Rebekah had twin sons, Esau and Jacob. What was, and still is, the significant difference between Jacob/Israel and Esau/Edom that has caused this major, world-wide conflict between their descendants? The answer will be revealed in the following paragraphs, and in the rest of this booklet. According to The Law of the Firstborn, the elder of the twin brothers, Esau possessed the natural birthright over Jacob, and ordinarily should have had that and also received the blessing, passed on from dad to son. However, Esau sold his birthright to the younger twin Jacob for a bowl of pottage (Gen. 25:29-34). On top of that, Esau would later take a wife from outside the Shemitic, approved kindred stock, when he married a Hittite from the daughters of Canaan. Canaan was the cursed son of Ham (Gen. 9:25-27), who was the youngest of Noah's three sons (Gen. 9:18, 10:6). Previously, Abraham set about the solemn parental obligation of choosing a suitable bride for his son Isaac, and before sending out his eldest servant to find her, he made the servant swear to not let Isaac choose a wife from the daughters of Canaan, but from the stock of his own former country and his own kindred (Gen. 24:1-9, 32-38). The servant went to Abraham's former country, prayed to God to send him the right woman for Isaac, and lo and behold the first woman to come along was Rebekah. Isaac not only humbly and obediently trusted and accepted the God-guided choice made for him by his dad (Matt. 23:9), but it turns out he fell in love with her as well. When it came time for Esau to marry, he arrogantly made his own choices (two Canaanite women, Gen. 26:34; and later, an Ishmaelite, Gen. 28:8-9), and disregarded his grand-dad Abraham's instruction to carefully choose from the Shemitic, "Covenant" stock, and avoid the local daughters of Canaan (Hamites). These Canaanite marriages were very grievous to Isaac and Rebekah (Gen. 26:35). From these two incidents alone (selling the birthright, and the Canaanite marriages) it is clear, Esau was not inclined to "do the works of Abraham", and doesn't seem deserving to receive and pass on The Blessing given by God to Abraham, which had been passed on to Isaac. As Isaac aged and neared death, there came a time when he told Esau that he would pass on his Blessing to him, after Esau went out hunting and brought him some venison, and Rebekah overheard this conversation. The Bible is silent on whether or not Isaac (or anyone else except the two brothers) knew that Esau had previously sold his birthright to Jacob. After Esau went out to hunt the deer, Rebekah acted to fulfil God's intentions that He told her directly (Gen. 25:21-23), concerning her sons. Rebekah convinced and helped Jacob to deceive Isaac by having him wear Esau's clothing, and pretending to be Esau just long enough to receive The Blessing from Isaac that went along with The Birthright (Gen. 27:1-30). Despite having some qualms about it, Jacob humbly and obediently trusted and accepted the God-guided choice made for him by his mom (Gen.27:6-14), who herself trusted that God's Word to her would be successfully fulfilled. When Esau returned from hunting and realized that Jacob now also had The Blessing, he cried bitterly and desperately begged Isaac to bless him also. Self-pitying Esau, doesn't accept responsibility and blame for SELLING his birthright, but instead complains: "Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing." Isaac had already given to Jacob, the entire blessing that he received from his dad, Abraham, who had received it directly from God; a blessing that now included Jacob's brethren and entire nations bowing down to serve him (Gen. 27:28-29); but because Isaac loved his firstborn Esau so much that he wanted to give him some kind of blessing, under the circumstances, he gave him the best blessing he could: Genesis 27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be away from the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass WHEN thou shalt have the dominion (Deut. 28:47-48), that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing he received, especially compared to what he had expected - the blessing that Jacob had received. He swore to get even... he swore he would kill Jacob after Isaac died. While Esau's wrath was still hot, Isaac and Rebekah sent Jacob to Rebekah's brother Laban's house in Padanaram, for refuge and to also select a wife from their Covenant kindred. Jacob and Esau would not see each other again for over 20 years, and Esau never did personally exact his revenge against Jacob, but some of Esau's descendants NEVER forgot what they were/are deluded into believing was stolen from them, and the directors and members of the Hidden Hand, have been actively and relentlessly working to steal back The Birthright and The Blessing, ever since. The Hidden Hand's propaganda apparatus deceptively promotes their claim of racial descent from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob /Israel, even though most of the men at the highest levels of the Hidden Hand privately know full well that they are NOT descended from Jacob/Israel. They know, and are proud of the fact, that they are descended from Esau/Edom, and they are also descended from non-Abrahamic, other lineages, and have been actively working to enslave or eliminate Jacob's true descendants for over 2,600 years. How have the conspirators been trying to steal The Birthright and Blessing? By fraudulently creating similar conditions in order to make it appear to be the same way that Jacob "stole" it (as they would wrongfully see it) from Esau. They are publicly wearing Jacob/Israel's "clothing" and pretending to be True Israel (Matt. 7:15-20), thereby deceiving the true Israelites out of their rightful heritage, as part of their grand scheme of getting them to volunteer into bondage, in order to make them spiritually and materially destitute to the point where they willingly trade their inheritance for worldly possessions. The Edomites are not trying to deceive Isaac (who is long gone) into giving it to them, and following Divine Will, but by deceiving Israel's blinded (to their true identity) descendants. It is not for the Edomites, or even the Israelites for that matter, to decide who carries the Birthright and Blessing, it is God's right to choose. Despite the Hidden Hand's propaganda and attempts at deception, it doesn't change the fact that 95% of all modern Jews are not true racial Israelites, they are Khazar Jews descended from Esau/Edom. The Khazar Jews, or Eastern Jews, were an ancient warrior race of Turkish (Edomite / Idumean - Esau) origin who had interbred with the Ashkenazim and converted to Judaism en masse at the end of the 8th century AD. Although basically Turkish, the Khazar state bore little resemblance to the other Turkish empires of central Eurasia. It was headed by a secluded supreme ruler of semi-religious character called a khagan - who wielded little real power - and by tribal chieftains, each known as a beg. The Khazars seem to have been more inclined to a sedentary way of life, building towns and fortresses, tilling the soil, and planting gardens and vineyards. Trade and the collection of tribute were major sources of income. They were conquered by the native Russians and the mass of Khazars remained in Russia under their own closely-knit Talmudic government. They ghettoised themselves and lived under strict Talmudic Law, segregating themselves as far as possible from their host nation, except in the areas of occupation which could be used to carry out the Talmudic edicts to profit from their host. The Ashkenazim people are descended from Japheth (Gen. 10:1-3), the eldest of Noah's three sons. Also, contrary to what some "Kingdom Identity" people believe, the Germanic, Latin, and Slavonic peoples are NOT racial Israelites, either; in fact, they have been True Israel's enemies throughout history. The Germanic people are descendants of the Assyrians who migrated north and west after the fall of their empire. One of many clues is that the German Knight's cross is identical to the Assyrian Knight's cross. Germany has always fought against Great Britain at every chance, and never fought with them. The Latin people are obviously descended from the Romans, who are descended from the Babylonians . The Slavonic people are descended from Japheth and, not being Shemites, could not possibly be racial Israelites. All true racial Israelites are descended from one of the twelve sons of Jacob/Israel, who was descended from Abraham and Isaac, who were descended from Shem (Shemites/Semites), the second of Noah's three sons. The real tragedy is that all of this conflict is so unnecessary, and ANYONE can become a Spiritual Israelite, without resorting to force, deception, theft, or any negative or evil means. If all of these conspirators would have used their supposedly superior intellect in the loving and positive direction, and constructed a society that kept only God's Laws, thereby HELPING everyone keep The Covenant, the conspirators would have already easily earned through their good works, a share of the Birthright and Blessing that they have been so deviously working to steal. By going about it the evil way that they have, the conspirators have only guaranteed that they will NEVER be blessed (Matt. 21:19), and all of their wasted efforts will only get them thrown into The Fire along with Satan, soon, on Judgment Day. What is a Spiritual Israelite, which is much more important than being a Racial Israelite? The word "Israelite" simply means champion of God - " THOSE WHO DO GOD'S WILL ". It does NOT refer to the Israeli nation of today or the jews, it refers to " those who DO God's Will ", i.e. the "children of God." Anyone who DOES God's Will, (champions His Cause) not his own, is a "child of God" by adoption or "Israelite" (Hebrew). The 12 tribes of Israel is meant, not only literally, but also metaphorically, to represent ALL the tribes of the world (Luke 13:29) because of the grafting into Israel of the gentiles. ANYONE who KEEPS the COMMAND ments and DOES God's Will is automatically an Israelite and grafted-in (Matt. 12:48-50, Mark 3:33-35, Luke 8:21), even someone who is racially a Khazarian jew, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hamite, or Japhethite, etc. What about someone who currently and wrongly belongs to an organized religion such as jews, christians, moslems, hindus, buddhists, etc.? Yes, once enlightened to The Truth, anyone that KEEPS The Covenant and DOES God's Will until the End, will be among the "Elect" who inherit The Kingdom. What our human bodies are is not as important as what we (our Spirit Beings / Minds) BELIEVE and DO, and it is that which will determine whether or not we enter The Kingdom. The easiest and best example of the "grafting-in" is: Mohammed, who, like all arabs, was descended from Abraham through Ishmael - not Isaac and Jacob/Israel. Mohammed was not religious, he was just a believer, who strove himself, and taught the striving, to do God's Will. Mohammed was given the third part of The Bible, known as the Koran (the gospel of unity ), in order to enlighten and unite all mankind. The True Koran, which can be found in the King of kings' Bible, is not the Hadith , and is in complete harmony with both the Old and New Covenants/Testaments of The Bible, when correctly interpreted. The Hadith is what the Meccans wrongfully use as a foundation for the moslem/islamic religion, just as the non-Israelite jews wrongfully use the Talmud as the basis for the jewish religion, instead of following the True Torah. Although a true, racial Israelite is more likely to answer the Call to come out of Babylon and fight for God, you should think of every person as a potential ally and give them the same chance to prove themselves (Matt. 12:30, Luke 11:23, John 8:30/King of kings' Bible) through their works. Conversely, it is not enough just to be a racial Israelite, either of the 10-tribed House of Israel (Joseph) or the 2-tribed House of Judah, if you're not keeping The Law and obeying God. The Israelites were, and still are, forever meant to be the "Salt of the Earth" (Num. 18:19; 2Chr. 13:5). Only by faithfully keeping The Covenant and doing God's Will, is His blessing Power realized. It is that keeping Power which not only maintains the "Salt" at its freshest and best, but that pure and unspotted "Salt" helps to preserve from corruption, and multiply His blessings, in every portion of the world in which He places it (Gen. 12:3; Matt. 5:14-20). Not by activity in this case, but simply by its existing, by serving as an effective demonstration , by its quality. Otherwise, the salt is good for nothing except to melt winter ice on sidewalks/pavements for safe walking under foot (Matt. 5:13). Jesus told you about the Roman centurion. When the centurion asked him to cure his servant, he said, "I haven't found so much faith, no, not in Israel." - as in this man (Matt. 8:5-10,13; Luke 7:1-10). Then he made the statement that, "many shall come from the East and West, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the Kingdom of Heaven", and the children of the Israelites would be cast out into outer darkness (Matt. 8:11-12). So, it's no good just being a racial Israelite and thinking that everything depends on that, and you don't have to do anything. If you're not championing God's Cause to reinstate His Laws, Statutes, and Judgments, and to set-up His Kingdom on Earth, then you're not really an Israelite - not in the true sense of the word. You claim to be one of His people, but you can't be His people if you don't obey Him. You are the children of whom you obey. If you obey God you are His children, if you obey Satan then you are Satan's children. You must choose whom you will obey (Josh. 24:14-15). Think about that. Think about it very, very carefully. Who are you really serving? If you don't fight them, then you are part of the problem and you are serving the New World Order, and they are serving Satan, and that means that by default you are serving Satan. In the words of Edmund Burke, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is that good men do nothing". You have to fight these people. God has told you if you don't do it and reinstate His Laws, that He's going to burn you up, because it's only through your works, by fighting these people and reinstating God's Law, that you will prove to God whose side you are on (2Esdras 9:7; James 2:12-26). It's no good just saying, "oh, well, we're on your side, but we're going to sit here and do nothing and we're going to help the New World Order, because we're not going to fight them." There is no sitting on the sidelines as a spectator - YOU have to fight them. Anyone who is not actively fighting for God against evil, His Way, is automatically helping Satan and his Hidden Hand system, and will NOT be among the "Elect" (Matt. 22:1-14). Why would you WANT to actively or passively help the Hidden Hand achieve their goals? Do you even know what their short and long term goals are? In other words, what does stealing back the Birthright & Blessing mean to them? What would be in it for you if they succeed? Do you think you will be well-rewarded and accepted into their elite club with open arms? They will pretend to welcome you, as long as having you "on side" serves their purpose, but do you want to know what the evil men of the Satanic Hidden Hand REALLY think about you, behind their phoney smiles and "glad" handshakes? Do they consider you to be a "Sovereign Citizen" or among the "God's Chosen People", or even a human+being? In order to gain some insight, please read the following quotes and excerpts from their own documents, which are not editorialized or paraphrased - they are verbatim, in their own words: Protocol 2, #5 "Each victim on our side is worth, in the sight of God, a thousand goyim (non-jews)." (note: who is their god?) Protocol 11, #4 "The goyim (non-jews) are a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves (please see Ezekiel 22:27, below). And you know what happens when the wolves get hold of the flock?" (Matt. 7:15) ( Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves .) * * * * * * The following three excerpts are also from the Protocols:- EXCERPT #1: "This is quite clear from the following passages quoted from the Talmud and other Rabbinical talmudic writings, which also show the continuing agenda of world domination through the destruction and manipulation of the Gentile nations, which is still carried forth by the elders and their followers over 600 years after it was first accepted by them as their so-called official Yahwist manifesto: 'Just the Jews are humans, the non-Jews are not humans, but cattle.' (Kerithuth 6b, page 78, Jebhammoth 61). 'The non-Jews have been created to serve the Jews as slaves.' (Midrasch Talpioth 225). 'As you replace lost cows and donkeys, so you shall replace non-Jews.' (Lore Dea 377,1). 'Sexual intercourse with non-Jews is like sexual intercourse with animals.' (Kethuboth 3b). 'The birth rate of non-Jews has to be suppressed massively.' (Zohar 11, 4b). 'It is permitted to deceive a Goi.' (Babha Kama 113b), 'Do not have any pity for them, for it is said (Deuter. Vii,2): Show no mercy unto them. Therefore, if you see an Akum (non-Jew) in difficulty or drowning, do not go to his help.' (Hilkoth Akum X,1). 'Even the best of the Goyim should be killed.' (Abhodah Zarah 26b, Tosephoth). 'When a Jew has a gentile in his clutches, another Jew may go to the same gentile, lend him money and in his turn deceive him, so that the gentile shall be ruined. For the property of the gentile (according to our law) belongs to no one, and the first Jew that passes has the full right to seize it.' (Schulchan Aruk, Law 24) Again, there are many more such instances in the Talmud where the Gentile - especially the Christian - is labelled as subhuman and as merely there to be exploited or exterminated. The ultimate goal is again clearly defined in the Talmud as the inheritance of the Gentile nations, supposedly under Yahweh, but really under Satan." * * * EXCERPT #2: "In 1492, Chemor, Chief Rabbi of Spain received the following reply from the Grand Sanhedrin (Elders of Zion) to his plea for advice on how to deal with their threatened expulsion under Spanish Law; it illustrates well how the same ancient agenda was still being adhered to by the elect at this time: 'Beloved brethren in Moses (another lie), we have received your letter in which you tell us of the anxieties and misfortunes which you are enduring. We are pierced by as great a pain to hear it as yourselves. The advice of the Grand Satraps and the Rabbis is the following: 1. As for what you say that the king of Spain obliges you to become Christians: do it, since you cannot do otherwise. 2. As for what you say about the command to despoil you of your property: make your sons merchants that they may despoil, little by little, the Christians of theirs. 3. As for what you say about making attempts on your lives: make your sons doctors and apothecaries ( pharmacists /chemists), that they may take away Christian's lives. 4. As for what you say of their destroying your synagogues: make your sons canons and clerics in order that they may destroy their churches. 5. As for the other vexations you complain of: arrange that your sons become advocates and lawyers, and see that they always mix in affairs of State, that by putting Christians under your yoke you may dominate the world and be avenged on them . 6. Do not swerve from this order that we give you, because you will find by experience that, humiliated as you are, you will reach the actuality of power. (Signed) Prince of the Jews of Constantinople' (Julio-Inigrez de Medrano - 'La Silva Curiosa' 1608 my emphasis)" * * * EXCERPT #3: "Greetings, my children! You have been called here to recapitulate the principal steps of our new program. As you know, we had hoped to have twenty years between the wars to consolidate the great gains which we made from World War II, but our increasing numbers in certain vital areas is arousing opposition to us, and we must now work with every means at our disposal to precipitate World War III. The goal for which we have striven so concertedly for three thousand years is at last within our reach, and because its fulfillment is so apparent, it behooves us to increase our efforts and our caution tenfold. I can safely promise you that before ten years have passed, our race will have its rightful place in the world, with every Jew a king and every gentile a slave! (applause from the gathering)... This program will achieve its objective, the Third World War, which will surpass in destruction all previous contests. Israel (not True Israel), of course, will remain neutral, and when both sides are devastated and exhausted, we will arbitrate, sending our Control Commissions into all of the wrecked countries. This war will end for all time our struggle against gentiles. We will openly reveal our identity with the races of Asia and Africa..." (rabbi Emanuel Rabinovich in a keynote speech to the Emergency Council of European Rabbis in Budapest, Hungary, on 12 January 1952). - all three excerpts from: " The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, Proofs of an Ancient Conspiracy", by Ivan Fraser. * * * * * * Proof of the Conspiracy being at least 2,600 years old, found in The Bible Genesis 27:38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, [even] me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. 27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be away from the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when THOU shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. 27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. ( around 590 B.C.) Jeremiah 11:9 And the "I AM" said unto me, A CONSPIRACY is found among the men of Judah (Jew-dah), and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ( around 585 B.C.) Ezekiel 22:25 [There is] a CONSPIRACY of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. 22:26 Her priests have violated My Law, and have profaned Mine Holy things: they have put no difference between the Holy and profane, neither have they showed [difference] between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 22:27 Her princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain (Matt. 7:15-20). 22:28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered [mortar] (the UNO and NATO - see ch.13), seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord "I AM", when the "I AM" hath not spoken. 22:29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION Now that you have a better idea of WHO your enemy is, let's examine WHAT their plan of conquest has been. Their strategy that they laid out was compiled into a document known as "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion", and a copy had managed to come to light in France in 1884, and through a series of copies and translations, were first published in England and America in 1920. The story of how it came into general circulation is contained in the "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, Proofs of an Ancient Conspiracy", by Ivan Fraser. In its travels and translations, The Protocols have managed to avoid being completely suppressed, and its content has also survived numerous attempts over the years at being discredited by the Hidden Hand. Much in the same way that God has preserved His Truth as revealed in The Holy Bible, despite numerous attempts by evil people to delete, alter and mistranslate/misteach parts of The Bible, God has preserved this "anti-Bible" and its authenticity, to help His people understand our enemy and their Satanic plan at the right time, to enable us to act in accordance with His Master Plan to destroy His/our enemy. To give you a general idea of how your destruction has been arrogantly and deviously planned by the Hidden Hand, the following are only the headings and sub-headings of each of the 24 Protocols.

These Protocols could not possibly have been written by any man or men, only by Satan himself with the help of his Synagogue, referred to by Christ in Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are NOT, but [are] (Idumeans) the Synagogue of Satan. THE FRAUD OF MAN-MADE CON STITUTIONS Most patriots are focusing all their efforts on protecting, defending, and restoring the 1787/1789 Constitution for the united States of America (as compared to the 1871 U.S. [Inc.] Constitution, for the District of Columbia), but few if any realize what a fruitless exercise that is, especially when they are labouring under the false belief that these or any man-made Constitution keeps, or is even based on, God's Laws. Most people are unaware that the constitution was given to them by the people of the New World Order in order to distract, deflect, and keep them away from God's Law. The Hidden Hand never could have set up the New World Order if God's Law was in force, so they had to put in the Constitution. They've written all these nice speeches , that sound very noble, but the whole thing is to keep people away from God's Laws. If people had kept God's Laws, then there would be no New World Order; there would have been no Ruby Ridge, no Waco, no Sand Point, Idaho - all of these things (and the very real prospect of more of the same in the future), none of these things would have happened. Protocol 5, #8: " In all ages the people of the world, equally with individuals, have accepted words for deeds, for they are content with a show and rarely pause to note, in the public arena, whether promises are followed by performance. Therefore we shall establish show institutions which will give eloquent proof of their benefit to progress." Leviticus 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A perfect illustration of deeds not following "show" words and symbols, is the Liberty Bell. The united States of America claim to be the land of the free, and a portion of the above Torah quotation was inscribed on their Liberty Bell: "Proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." Conveniently for themselves and their NWO bosses, the authors of the constitution omitted the rest of The Law, and this partial quotation was/is only propaganda, paying lip-service to appear noble, while disguising the fact that in practice the government acts in opposition to God's Law. The partial Bible reference from Leviticus is written on the Liberty Bell, but neither is it, nor its principle, written anywhere in the constitution. The Law says that every 50 years shall be a jubile year, which includes all debts being canceled, and every Israelite's possessions restored to them. It has been 212 years since the 1789 ratification of the constitution, which means if The Law was being kept, and the American people were doing what God wants them to do, then there should have been jubile years in: 1839, 1889, 1939, and 1989, in which all debts were canceled, right? Were YOUR debts canceled, and your possessions restored to you in 1989? It is therefore not surprising that the Liberty Bell is cracked and will not ring. What we're really up against as far as the New World Order is concerned, is that Satan gets the New World Order and his politicians, who are all part of that, to make up rules and regulations to prevent people from doing what God wants them to do, and they make up other rules in order to force people to do things that God doesn't want them to do, in order to control the people. The tragic situations at Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc. were the result of people doing it wrong. Your enemies claim authority from the constitution, and justification from their legislation for their criminal actions. The only way to defeat the New World Order, and it is the ONLY way to defeat the New World Order, is to get rid of all their legislation and go back to God's Laws. You should read the full text of the Protocols to learn of your enemy's master plan for your enslavement and destruction, and how "constitutions" fit into that plan, but since it may not become immediately obvious to you, further explanation is probably necessary to point out just where the American and ALL other government "constitutions" have come from - written by the Hidden Hand, as part of their devious Satanic plot of world control and domination. Protocol 10, #10: "Liberalism produced Constitutional States, which took the place of what was the only safeguard of the goyim, namely, Despotism (Deut. 17:14-20); and a constitution, as you well know, is nothing else but a school of discords, misunderstandings, quarrels, disagreements, fruitless party agitations, party whims - in a word, a school of everything that serves to destroy the personality of State activity... Then it was that the era of republics became a possibility that could be realised, and then it was that we replaced the ruler by a caricature of a government - by a president, taken from the mob..." Protocol 3, #2: "The constitution scales of these days will shortly break down, for we have established them with a certain lack of accurate balance in order that they may oscillate incessantly until they wear through the pivot on which they turn. The goyim are under the impression that they have welded them sufficiently strong and they have all along kept on expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium. But the pivots - the kings on their thrones (Deut. 17:14-20) - are hemmed in by their representatives, who play the fool, distraught with their own uncontrolled and irresponsible power." Protocol 10, #8: "Under various names there exists, in ALL countries, approximately one and the same thing: Representation; Ministry; Senate ; State Council; Legislative and Executive Corps. These institutions have divided up among themselves all the functions of government - administrative; legislative; executive ; wherefore they have come to operate as do the organs in the human body. If we injure one part in the machinery of State, the State falls sick, like a human body, and ...will die." United States constitution - 3 branches: President ( executive ), Congress [House & Senate] ( legislative ), and Supreme Court, U.S. Courts of Appeal, & U.S. District Courts ( judicial ). State constitutions - 3 branches: Governor ( executive ); State Assembly & Senate ( legislative ); and State Supreme Court, State Court of Appeals, & State Administrative Courts ( judicial ). If you believe that your rights come from men who write constitutions, then you have to believe your rights can be taken away by men in those same positions of power, whereas if you believe (as you should) that your rights come from God, then only God can take them away. In this section is a side-by-side comparison which highlights just five of the many possible differences between God's Laws, and the United States Constitution , and the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion . You will probably not be surprised to learn that The Protocols are the complete and exact opposite of God's Laws, but you may be very surprised to discover that the American Constitution is also in OPPOSITION* to God's Laws, and in HARMONY with The (Satanic) Protocols. That really shouldn't be too surprising when you take into account the fact that most of America's "founding fathers" were masons, and that the Masonic Lodge had been infiltrated by (Illuminati founder) Adam Weishaupt in 1777; had been taken over by the Hidden Hand, before the American Constitutional Convention of 1787, and is still to this day under complete control and direction of the Hidden Hand. * The word/name "Satan" is Hebrew, and means "The OPPOSER". After reading the full text of The Protocols, you should also realize that no man or group of men, on their own, are capable of conceiving them. The hand of evil men may have written them out, and taken the credit, but of ideas so sinister and a plan so devious, the true author who dictated them into their minds could only be: The Opposer, Satan. The following two paragraphs are based on the research of Stephen Ames, to explain the Hidden Truth of exactly why the American Constitution came into being. On September 17, 1787 twelve State delegates approved the Constitution for the united States of America, and the States became the Constitutors. What is the legal definition of the term, "constitutor"? A Constitutor: In the civil law, one who, by simple agreement, becomes responsible for the payment of another's debt. (Blacks Law Dictionary 6th Ed.) The States were now liable for the United States debt owed to the King of England, but the people of America were not yet liable, because they were not a party to the Constitution since it was never put to them for a vote. On August 4, 1790 an Act was passed that, for all intents and purposes abolished the States and created Federal Districts. In this Act each District was assigned a portion of the debt. Then the states reorganized their governments, which had to be done because the States needed to "legally" (under men's laws) transfer the bonded obligation for debt repayment from the states to the people. The original State Constitutions were never submitted to the people for a vote, so the governments wrote new constitutions and submitted them to the people for a vote, thereby binding the people to the debts owed to Great Britain. Once again, deception is used to get the people to unknowingly volunteer into bondage. Because of the general disinformation surrounding the American Revolutionary War (1775-1781) promoted by the Hidden Hand in their publishing/education/media apparatus, most American patriots automatically revere the men who led that apparent rebellion against Great Britain, and established the united States of America as a separate nation. What people do not know is that the so called "founding fathers" and king George (remember the king or queen of England is a member of the Hidden Hand) were working hand-in-hand to bring the people of America to their knees, to install a Central Government (see Protocol 5, #1 below) over them and to bind them to a debt that could not be paid. This is not to say that ALL the key men of that era were knowingly among the greedy, evil conspirators, but it appears that most were. One example of a possible exception is Patrick Henry who, when told of the proposed federal Constitution, is reported to have said, "I smell a rat." The American Revolutionary War, at least to give the appearance of separating from Great Britain, was necessary to fulfill Jacob's blessing/prophecy to his grandson, Manasseh (Gen. 48:19), although the participants were not consciously acting to that end, but the American "founding fathers" did miss a genuine opportunity to start fresh and forget and depart (2Tim. 2:19) from the failed & unjust ways of men's laws, edicts, and decrees, that their ancestors had fled from in England, and instate God's Laws as the Law of the Land of their new nation, as the pilgrims on the Mayflower had begun. Instead, they were influenced by their human egos, greed, and the Hidden Hand's masonic tenets to draft and implement a man-made constitution. Ironically, the name Manasseh is a Hebrew word that means "forgetting, or making forget" (Gen. 41:51). Deuteronomy 4:5 Behold, I have taught you Statutes and Judgments, even as the "I AM" my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land where ye go to possess it. 4:6 KEEP therefore and DO [them]; for this [is] your Wisdom and your Understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these Statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people. 4:7 For what nation [is there so] great, who [hath] God [so] near to them, as the "I AM" our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon Him [for]? 4:8 And what nation [is there so] great, that hath Statutes and Judgments [so] Righteous as all this Law, which I set before you this day? FRAUD # 1: Man-Made Legislation The Law Deuteronomy 4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the Statutes and unto the Judgments, which I teach you, for to DO [them], that ye may LIVE, and go in and possess the land which the "I AM" God of your fathers giveth you. 4:2 Ye shall not ADD unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the Commandments of the "I AM" your God which I COMMAND you. United States Constitution Article. 1., Section 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. Article. 1., Section 7. Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated,... If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it,... Article. 1., Section 3. The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided. The Protocols 5, #1: "...We shall create an intensified centralisation of government in order to grip in our hands all the forces of the community. We shall regulate mechanically all the actions of the political life of our subjects by new laws. These laws will withdraw one by one all the indulgences and liberties which have been permitted by the goyim..." 11, #1: "The State Council has been, as it were, the emphatic expression of the authority of the ruler: it will be, as the "show" part of the Legislative Corps , what may be called the editorial committee of the laws and decrees of the ruler." 11, #2: "This, then, is the program of the new constitution. We shall make Law, Right and Justice (1) in the guise of proposals to the Legislative Corps; (2) by decrees of the president under the guise of general regulations, of orders of the Senate and of resolutions of the State Council in the guise of ministerial orders; (3) and in case a suitable occasion should arise - in the form of a revolution in the State." FRAUD # 2: Politics / Political Parties The Law Deuteronomy 28:14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the Words which I command thee this day, [to] the right hand (right-wing politics), or [to] the left (left-wing politics), to go after other gods to serve them. United States Constitution Article 1., Section 2. The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature. Article 1., Section 3. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature* thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote. Amendment 17. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote... Article. 2., Section 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected,... The Protocols 1, #6: "Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one's party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is rendered easier if the opponent has himself been infected with the idea of freedom, so-called liberalism, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his power..." 1, #10: "...Men in masses and the men of the masses, being guided solely by petty passions, paltry beliefs, traditions and sentimental theorems, fall a prey to party dissension, which hinders any kind of agreement even on the basis of a perfectly reasonable argument. Every resolution of a crowd depends upon a chance or packed majority , which, in its ignorance of political secrets, puts forth some ridiculous resolution that lays in the administration a seed of anarchy." 1, #11: " The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule must have recourse both to cunning and to make-believe. Great national qualities, like frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for they bring down rulers from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of the kingdoms of the goyim, but we must in no wise be guided by them." 1, #23: " In politics one must know how to seize the property of others without hesitation if by it we secure submission and sovereignty." 1, #29: "It is this possibility of replacing (through elections) the representatives of the people which has placed at our disposal, and, as it were, given us the power of appointment ." FRAUD # 3: Usury The Law Deuteronomy 15:6 For the "I AM" thy God blesseth thee, as He promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee [ if ye keep The Covenant]. United States Articles of Confederation Article 9., Section 5. The United States in Congress assembled shall have authority... to borrow money, or emit bills on the credit of the United States,... United States Constitution Article 1., Section 8. The Congress shall have Power... To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;... The Protocols 20, #29: Every kind of loan proves infirmity in the State and a want of understanding of the rights of the State. Loans hang like a sword of Damocles over the heads of rulers, who, instead of taking from their subjects by a temporary tax, come begging with outstretched palm of our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which there is no possibility of removing from the body of the State, until they fall off of themselves, or the State flings them off. But the goy States do not tear them off; they go on in persisting in putting more on to themselves so that they must inevitably perish, drained by voluntary blood-letting. 20, #36: How clear is the undeveloped power of thought of the purely brute brains of the goyim, as expressed in the fact that they have been borrowing from us, with payment of interest, without ever thinking that all the same these very moneys, plus an addition for payment of interest, must be got by them from their own State pockets in order to settle up with us. What could have been simpler than to take the money they wanted from their own people? 20, #37: But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind that we have contrived to present the matter of loans to them in such a light that they have even seen in them an advantage for themselves. FRAUD # 4: Changeability to the whims of men The Law Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the "I AM" thy God, He [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth Covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His Commandments to a thousand generations; Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret [things belong] unto the "I AM" our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this Law. Malachi 3:6 For I [am] the "I AM", I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from Mine Ordinances, and have not kept [them]. Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts. Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy The Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no way pass from The Law, till all be fulfilled. United States Constitution Article. 5. The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress;... Amendment 18. Section. 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. (Ratified Jan 16, 1919) Amendment 21. Section. 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed (this Amendment repealed Amendment 18). (Ratified Dec 5, 1933) The Protocols 10, #16: The president will, at our discretion, interpret the sense of such of the existing laws as admit of various interpretation; he will further annul them when we indicate to him the necessity to do so, besides this, he will have the right to propose temporary laws, and even new departures in the government constitutional working, the pretext, both for the one and the other, being the requirements for the supreme welfare of the State. 11, #3: Having established approximately the modus agendi, we will occupy ourselves with details of those combinations by which we have still to complete the revolution in the course of the machinery of State in the direction already indicated. By 'those combinations', I mean the freedom of the Press; the right of association; freedom of conscience; the voting principle; and many another that must disappear for ever from the memory of man, or undergo a radical alteration the day after the promulgation of the new constitution..." FRAUD # 5: Women given a voice and positions of power in government The Law Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be subject] to thy husband, and HE SHALL RULE OVER THEE. 3:17 And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I COMMANDED thee, saying, Thou shalt NOT eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life (Eno. 96:12-13); Enoch 96:12 I have sworn to you, ye sinners, that neither mountain nor hill has been nor should be a servant to woman (Gen. 3:16-17 - women's liberation CONDEMNED). 96:13 Neither in this way has your crime been sent down upon Earth (1st COMMANDMENT), but men of their own heads have invented it; and greatly shall those who give it (women's liberation) efficiency be CURSED. 96:14 Barrenness ( infertility ) shall not be previously inflicted on woman; but on account of the work of her hands shall she die childless (as a punishment - Deut. 28:18). 1Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God. 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have a covering on her head, as a sign that she is under the power of her husband because of the angels. 1Corinthians 14:33 For God is NOT [the author] of CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all communities of the holy people. 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the communities: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith The Law. 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a disgrace for women to speak in the community. 14:36 What? Came the word of God out from you? Or came it unto you only? 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the Commandments of the Lord. United States Constitution Amendment 19. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. The Protocols 10, #4: "Voting; which we have made the instrument which will set us on the throne of the world , by teaching even the very smallest units of members of the human race to vote, by means of meetings and agreements by groups; will then have served its purposes and will play its part then, for the last time, by a unanimity of desire to make close acquaintances with us before condemning us." 10, #5: "To secure this we must have everybody vote without distinction of classes and qualifications, in order to establish an absolute majority, which cannot be got from the educated propertied classes. In this way, by inculcating in all a sense of self-importance (like everyone being a Sovereign Citizen), we shall destroy among the goyim the importance of the family and its educational value and remove the possibility of individual minds splitting off, for the mob, handled by us, will not let them come to the front, nor even give them a hearing; it is accustomed to listen only to us who pay it for obedience and attention. In this way we shall create a blind, mighty force, which will never be in a position to move in any direction, without the guidance of our agents, set at its head, by us, as leaders of the mob. The people will submit to this regime, because it will know, that upon these leaders will depend its earnings, gratifications and the receipt of all kinds of benefits." Note: The book, " The Way home or face The Fire " goes into great detail exactly WHY it is so important to Satan's plan to get women into as many positions of power as possible. LOOPHOLE DELUSIONS The Hidden Hand have fraudulently created and implemented man-made, copyrighted legislation (wrongfully called "laws") to control the unsuspecting masses. They know there is a percentage of people who possess the characteristics of fighters, and are inclined to resist evil, even if these traits are dormant. These people are very dangerous to them if they should somehow wake up on their own and start fighting them, and organizing others to fight. So the Hidden Hand lay traps to neutralize them in a more controlled process by purposely setting up their governments and legislation with flaws, loopholes, and legal remedies and reliefs. The "resistors" will find and use these loopholes, and follow one, two, or all of three general methods in seeking to conquer the evil Beast legal system, and will share knowledge of the loopholes with other resistors. The first method is to use common law to openly fight the flaws/fraud in their private "laws". The second method is to withdraw financial support and managing their wealth "offshore" - believing they can insulate themselves or avoid fighting. All these people are attempting to wind around the system, like a snake, trying to live within the cracks of Satan's worldly system; always looking for and then utilizing the loopholes, without ever realising that these loopholes were SET-UP by the Hidden Hand. The New World Order have their legislators create more and more man-made "laws", to make more Lawful things illegal, which serves two purposes. First is to get away with stealing more and more of the people's wealth and freedom, while no-one objects, and secondly to draw the latent resistors out into the open, who either do object or seek to gain advantage in "using" the loopholes built into the fraudulent system. Their so-called "laws" are proven to be separate laws from what they and their own people follow, as witnessed by the Clinton impeachment charade, while these "laws" are selectively enforced against whom they choose - usually God-fearing, honest people who (not knowing any better) are "just trying to get along" within the system, but especially against those who are doing their best to stay out of "Babylon" entirely and not play the world's games. The people at Ruby Ridge, Waco, Sand Point, and others, had not broken ANY of God's Laws, which are the ONLY valid laws on this planet. When those honest "victims" don't cave-in and give the Hidden Hand what they want under their legislation, then military force is used, which often creates a well-publicized stand-off or siege situation, and the media presents the criminal government people as benevolent protectors of both: the children in those situations, and of the country. It doesn't matter to them that, in reality, those children were in no danger until the government itself created that dangerous situation. The disinformation from these types of incidents are promoted by the media to make examples of the real victims, in order to discourage the marginally resistant percentage of the "sheeple" from fighting the system. Common Law The road to Hell-Fire is paved with good intentions. Almost all the people of the world have been blinded and conditioned to the point of accepting one man-made set of laws or another as being a valid foundation for government, instead of simply getting back to God's Laws and His government. Those people/patriots who are most inclined to resist and fight the Hidden Hand are bright enough, and will more easily recognize the flaws and injustices of their system, and be more motivated to take action, to expose and prosecute their frauds. Unfortunately, these same righteous people who are attempting to do the right thing, are misguided enough to diligently research and discover the remedies and reliefs that are provided in their legislation, falling right into the Hidden Hand's trap. If you build your case using their "laws", seeking to receive their remedy or relief, filing your actions, counterclaims, motions, etc., in their courts/"temples", under their rules of civil or criminal procedure and rules of evidence, and asking their black-robed priests (judges) to give a ruling to correct the injustice under their laws, then no matter how that judge rules you have already lost. You have given power to the Beast by recognizing, acknowledging and validating their "laws", otherwise you wouldn't have used them to seek justice. The object of Satan's exercise is to keep you going in circles using THEIR "laws" to support/justify your righteous position instead of using God's Laws. This not only continues to lend credibility and legitimacy to the Hidden Hand's unLawful system, but guarantees income for JUDGE$ and £AWYER$. By first accepting the false validity of man-made legislation, most people waste time and effort getting caught up in arguing the "merits" of man-made forms such as capitalism, socialism, communism, objectivism, parliaments, congresses, etc. They protest and peck at various aspects of the system, depending what issue (s) they believe directly affect them or matter (s) to them most: income taxes; property taxes; gun control; mortgage usury; travel issues: driver licenses and passports; natural/organic farming vs. chemical fertilizers; nutrition supplements vs. pharmaceutical establishment; multi-national companies and globally managed economy; etc. The Hidden Hand is a seven headed Hydra, so if you cut off one head it still has six more to attack you with, and while you turn your attention to fight the other heads, the head that was cut off will grow back. Even if you don't look for injustice to fight, they use their agents such as legislators, police and bureaucrats to find, charge, and "summon" you into their courts. This puts you in a position of having to somehow defend yourself against their illegal legislation, even if it's only something small like a traffic ticket, zoning ordinance "violation", etc. What everyone should be doing is scrapping ALL the man-made legislation and reinstating God's Laws, then all of these little battles will be wiped away in one stroke. In his Sermon on the Mount, Christ Jesus said not to go voluntarily into their "law" courts, and instead to settle quickly with your adversary (Matt. 38-44). If you are living your life as close to Christ as possible, then there shouldn't be any valid reason that someone would or could want to sue you, but even Christ said that you WILL be brought before their judges, so you have to be dragged into their courts (Matt. 10:16-23; Mark 13:9-13), and when you are, then you must use and defend God's Laws, to challenge their unLawful legislation. It is only Good that conquers evil, and using Satan's legislation to argue one point or another about his legislation will never divide his evil house, which is why Satan's Hidden Hand have set it up that way (Matt. 12:23-30). Article 3 courts / common law There are some constitutional/common law clubs and groups that are attempting to work the supposed loophole that they are Citizens under the 1787/1789 Constitution for the united States of America, instead of the slaves / citizens under the 14th Amendment and the 1871 United States (Inc.) Constitution. They are spending a lot of time, money, and effort learning the laws of men and using their rules of procedure and evidence to present their cases to a judge employed by the Hidden Hand, hoping and expecting he will rule in their favor and set a precedent for other patriots to win their similar cases. The people who are more advanced in studying and fighting cases under men's laws using the 1789 Constitution, are calling for the return of "Article 3" courts, as cited in the American Constitution of 1789, and they note that the only courts currently in use are the legislative courts under Article 1, and military courts under Article 2. The President, an office created in Article 2 of the Constitution, is commander-in-chief of the military, and these courts have the military gold-fringed U.S. flag hanging in them, showing what (de facto law) venue they are operating under. These well-meaning but misguided patriots are even taking to establishing their own Article 3 judicial courts, operating under the de jure common law, when in reality they should set up God's Royal Law Courts and enforce only His Laws, Statutes and Judgments. There are several problems with their Article 3 approach. The first is that the men who are establishing and running these courts are doing so to enforce men's laws and not God's. The second problem is that they are breaking the twelfth Commandment: Thou shalt not judge. We are only allowed to enforce God's Laws through His Judgments, and anyone who judges another by anything other than God's Judgments, then condemns himself to being judged in the same way by God. The third problem is of enforcement. Perhaps you've heard of various groups winning judgments in common law courts, against government officials and judges, which is fine, but then how are those judgments carried out? Offshore Patriots Many patriots and freedom/privacy-loving people are moving and managing their money using "offshore" entities, in order to keep their own private affairs away from bureaucratic snoops, and to legally avoid taxes by following the letter of their "laws". On the surface this might seem like a wise plan, but it is really a delusion and living in denial. At some point, even these offshore "tax haven" entities must interface with the Hidden Hand's computerized financial "system". The world's financial system is linked together in a computerized information-exchange network, so when you access your money at an Automated Teller Machine (ATM)/Cashpoint, or make a purchase at a shop, with a debit or credit card issued from an offshore bank, they know where you have your money. The managers and promoters of these offshore companies think the laws of those countries, and the fact that certain countries don't have a "tax treaty" with the U.S. or other governments, will protect them if a legal action is brought against them. They also feel that they are playing the "big boys" game because they are using the same kinds of complex structures such as irrevocable trusts, international business corporations (IBC's), limited liability companies (LLC's), dual citizenship in the tax haven, etc., and setting-up their business and managing assets in the very same tax havens as those same super-rich "big boys". These offshore managers are under the false sense of security that if THEY are attacked, then the "big boys" would also be vulnerable to attack, and wouldn't risk that. Why should that matter, when as previously explained, the HIDDEN HAND have SET-UP ALL THESE "GOVERNMENTS" to begin with? At the time that suits the Hidden Hand, they will move in and confiscate the "patriots'" assets and leave their own untouched. If you doubt this, then please see Protocol #3, #11-12: "Universal economic crisis - " Ours they will not touch" The Hidden Hand have designed the tax and usury systems to transfer as much money as possible from the people into their own hands (See Protocol 20). It is estimated that the richest 5% of the world's population now control over 95% of the world's wealth. When the in-flow of tax and interest money stops, THEY DO take notice. Despite setting up loopholes as traps, they really don't like it when the people get wise to, and use them, in the sense that it temporarily decreases the amount of money they are stealing... but they are very patient thieves. Since it isn't worth it to them to go after every little guy separately, they let particular plans/programs go on for a while so more and more little people use a particular tax-avoidance/privacy entity, and when there are enough fish in the net, then they move in to confiscate all that money at one time. As already noted, they don't bother with due process and following their own "laws"; they simply confiscate or freeze the assets, and either have a long drawn out court battle which drains the assets of your offshore entity managers, or use their military force under some pretense. Of course, the media that they own will trumpet their actions as benevolent and paint the innocent people as criminals. At any rate, the Hidden Hand own the banks, and have substituted; in place of exact weight and value hard currencies such as silver and gold; worthless paper money whose "value" was created out of thin air with the magic of the printing press (See Protocol 20), and whose continuing value is controlled by them in the currency markets. No matter where you put your money, THEY still control it. Buying and holding gold and silver bullion coins seems like a good idea, but where will you spend it when almost all shops deal only in "legal tender"? If you pay for something with a real silver dollar, the shop will accept it at face value the same as a Federal Reserve Note dollar, rather than at its real value. Also, gold and silver coins can be forcibly confiscated by the Hidden Hand just like any other property. "...Let us use all our force to replace the circulation of gold by that of paper: our banks will absorb the gold, and we shall decide then what value the paper money will have, this will make us the masters of every man's existence..." (From a speech at Prague in 1865, by a certain Jewish Rabbi Rzeichorn. It was published by Sir John Radcliff in 1876, , who was assassinated shortly afterwards) - excerpt from: " The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, Proofs of an Ancient Conspiracy", by Ivan Fraser. Instead of jumping through all these hoops, wouldn't it be much simpler and better to destroy the Hidden Hand's system and re-instate God's economic policy under His Laws? Brothers in Arms The third general method of fighting what the New World Order is planning and building towards, is by armed resistance. Patriots base their right to own and use firearms on the Second Amendment to the American Constitution. As previously explained, man-made legislation and even constitutions can be changed, and frequently are. Changes that reduce or take away a fundamental, unalienable right are usually made after the people have been sufficiently conditioned to accept and even desire a particular change, while the defenders of that right must somehow fight and neutralize the propaganda, to prevent that re-conditioning of society. Both sides are constantly battling to influence legislators and public opinion. Those who are familiar with gun issues know that the Hidden Hand has been running a relentless campaign for many years to outlaw the private ownership of firearms in America. They create and utilize high profile cases through mass-media propaganda, like Ruby Ridge, Waco, and high school shootings such as Columbine, Colorado, USA, to manipulate public opinion against private gun-ownership. This is necessary to enact man-made legislation to "legally" take away the People's right to self-defence, especially to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. Student witnesses involved during the high school incidents have mentioned other shooters - adults - dressed in black, killing students, but these accounts are curiously absent in mainstream media reports. If God's Laws were in force, then there would be no battle over public opinion, and no threat of losing your God-given right of self-defence, since God's Word is unchanging. There is a relentless drive in Northern Ireland to take all the guns away from the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), who, along with the unionist paramilitaries, are the only people left with guns, who could use them to resist the NWO. These weapons are therefore seen as a threat to the NWO and so all of the politicians, including American and U.N. politicians, are desperately trying to disarm these people as quickly as possible. The best and most just solution would be to repeal the firearms legislation and give all of the people the individual ability to defend themselves against unprovoked vicious and brutal attacks, according to The Law. At Ruby Ridge, Randy and Vicky Weaver broke no laws. A female neighbour was deceived into believing he had broken a law by sawing the barrel of his shotgun. There is no law in The Bible against what he did. Nowhere in The Bible does it give men the right to make up laws. In fact it expressly forbids men from doing so. Randy broke no law, nor commandment. Therefore he committed no crime and neither did his wife, who was murdered by a sniper in cold blood. There is no law in the Bible giving that sniper (Lon Horiuchi) the right to murder Vicky Weaver, nor to give him immunity from prosecution. If he fired the shot that killed Vicky Weaver then he is a murderer pure and simple and should be treated and punished as such. If Janet Reno ordered the FBI in to Waco then she is guilty of mass-murder and should be arrested for her crimes, along with all others co-responsible for the crimes committed at Waco. The Branch Davidians broke no law by having firearms. There was therefore no legitimate reason for the assault by the ATF who were committing a criminal offence and breaking The Law by attacking Waco. If they were killed whilst perpetrating that crime it is their own fault for breaking The Law, and according to God's Law the Davidians have committed no crime by so doing. Police who enforce illegal laws are committing a crime by so doing and should be treated as criminals, just as the Davidians did by killing them in self-defence. Don't be deceived by the badges and uniform/s that they are wearing, in order to deceive you into believing they are enforcing the law when in reality they are breaking The Law and are actually criminals impersonating policemen. Your minds have been conditioned to believe that these people are carrying out The Law, when in reality they are committing criminal acts against Law abiding citizens. You have all been mind-controlled to have inverted vision and to see things backwards, the way Satan wants you to see them. The way we have been conditioned to see the police, is wrong, and it's reminiscent of the John Carpenter film: "They Live", where everyone needs to put on the special glasses and see things as they really are, not the way that you've been taught to see them. You have to break through that programming and inverted vision and see the world through God's eyes, not through Satan's eyes, as you have been wrongfully taught to do. The best example I can give you of this is another John Carpenter film: "Starman", where an extra-terrestrial who has been invited by Voyager 2 to come to visit Earth, and that could have been Jesus, or could have been God Himself coming in that UFO. It is set as science fiction, but it tells a valid story; that this extra-terrestrial was invited by the Voyager 2 probe to come to visit Earth, and as soon as he does so he is attacked by criminals in various uniforms and crashes in Michigan at Cheboygan Bay. He sees these uniformed people clearly as the criminals that they really are and when attacked by these uniformed criminals for doing absolutely nothing wrong, he aims to shoot these uniformed criminals, because that's how he sees them, and he sees them correctly, because his mind hasn't been programmed to see things backwards. But the woman with him; who has been brainwashed into having inverted vision; tries to stop him because she thinks they are policemen enforcing the law, and so God punishes her for doing so, and under divine justice she is shot and killed by the police that she is wrongfully defending. That's Perfect Divine Justice. The bullies in the uniforms are eventually scared and they run away when the Mother-Ship arrives to rescue him, just as will happen when the Reaping begins, but there will be nowhere safe enough for them to hide. No matter if they are using one, two, or all three of the above general methods of fighting the system, "constitutional defenders" claim to be "Sovereign Citizens" subject only to God, and that their constitutional government is only supposed to be their servant. Read Protocol #1, item # 28: "The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade the mob in all countries that their government is nothing but the steward of the people who are the owners of the country, and that the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove." If the "Sovereign Citizen" belief is true, then why do its believers even feel they NEED man-made constitutions? If they are truly subjects of God, then why are they putting man-made constitutions and governments between themselves and their King, and not following God's Laws? If they are Sovereign Citizens, why is their servant government able to take away their property for not paying the government what the government fraudulently demands from them? God our Father is the Almighty, All-Knowing, One True and Ever-Living God. He is the source of our rights and freedoms, and powerful enough to protect, defend, and guarantee those rights and freedoms. If you falsely and wrongfully believe that your rights and freedoms come from man-made constitutions, and you put your faith (trust) in them expecting a mere written document to guarantee those rights and freedoms, then you are practicing a form of idolatry , which is the worshipping of false gods, and the breaking of the first and most important Commandment. What is the force behind this paper god? Does a piece of paper have the power to protect and defend you, and deliver your enemies into your hands? Not only that, but the hero-worship of the so-called "founding fathers" (Matt. 23:9) is also idolatry. If you are a "constitution restorationist" is it now becoming obvious to you why God would only be helping you fight evil to a certain point, but NOT fully blessing your efforts, and NOT leading you on to total victory over the Babylonian Hidden Hand system? Many freedom-minded people have seen, thoroughly enjoyed, an even been inspired by the film, "Braveheart". If you are among those people, did you take notice that when William Wallace was fighting for God and freedom from oppression, he was winning, but that when he started fighting for Robert the Bruce, to make him king of Scotland, and made deals with the "nobles" they betrayed him, as he had betrayed God, and he lost? Deuteronomy 4:27 And the "I AM" shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, where the "I AM" shall lead you. 4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood (note: including paper) and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. Deuteronomy 32:36 For the "I AM" shall judge His people (Isaiah chapter 3:12 to 4:6 & ch. 42), and repent Himself for His servants, when He seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none shut up, or left. 32:37 And He shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock (Peter/Cephas) in whom they trusted, 32:38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be your protection. 32:39 See now that I, [even] I, [am] He, and [there is] no god with Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of My hand. Isaiah 50:1 Thus saith the "I AM", Where [is] the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of My creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your inequities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. 50:2 Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is My hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst. Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the "I AM"'s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 59:2 But your inequities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [His] face from you, that He will not hear. Here is the shocking Truth about the American con stitution, and it is the unkindest cut of all. After spending all that time, effort, and resources attempting to secure your rights and freedoms under the man-made constitution, the bottom line at the end of the day is: YOU ARE NOT EVEN A PARTY TO THE CONSTITUTION! It is a contract between: the States, the founders (through their insider legal establishments of those incorporated States), and the king of England. The constitution itself was not signed by any human, it was only signed "In witness" on behalf of the States. Since you are not a party to that contract, then you can't possibly have ANY rights under that contract. This, and ALL con stitutions are just part of the elaborate CON by the Hidden Hand. Think about it, just exactly WHO are the "We the People of the United States" that the con stitution refers to who formed the "Union"? Most patriots jump to the conclusion that it includes every American "Sovereign" Citizen, don't they? But is that conclusion correct? Where in the document is the term defined, which could support that conclusion? It doesn't really say it anywhere, does it? This myth is what the Hidden Hand's educational system teaches, so that's a very good reason to be suspicious straight away. Once again we turn to the research of Stephen Ames, and his essay entitled "The Ultimate Delusion", demonstrating the contrary, where he states: "...Now the creditors of the United States which included the King wanted [to be] paid the Interest on the loans that were given to the United States. So Alexander Hamilton came up with the great idea of taxing alcohol. The people resisted so George Washington sent out the militia to collect the tax which they did. This has become known as the Whiskey rebellion. It is the Militia's duty to collect taxes. How did the United States collect taxes off of the people if the people are not a party to the Constitution? I'll tell you how. The people are slaves! The United States belongs to the founding fathers, their posterity and Great Britain. America is nothing more than a Plantation. It always has been. How many times have you seen someone in court attempt to use the Constitution and then the Judge tells him he can't. It is because you are not a party to it. We are SLAVES!!!!!!! If you don't believe read Padelford, Fay & Co. vs. The Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Savannah. 14 Georgia 438, 520 which states 'But, indeed, no private person has a right to complain, by suit in court, on the ground of a breach of the Constitution, the Constitution, it is true, is a compact but he is not a party to it.'..." Bearing the above in mind, please read again both the Preamble to the con stitution and Article 7, and you will see it in a whole different Light: " We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." "Article. VII. The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the same. ...done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth. In witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names, ...In Convention Monday, September 17th 1787. Present The States (note well: NOT the human "signers"/witnesses!) of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Mr. Hamilton from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia." (my emphasis added) So, hopefully you see, and if you don't you aren't paying attention, that even if you were 100% successful in fully restoring your rights and freedoms under a con stitution, then you have really gained nothing, you have only been conned . Since constitutions are written by the Hidden Hand to further their goals, you will have sacrificed your time, effort, relationships with family & friends, resources and maybe even your life, and will have simply gone in a circle - playing right into your enemy's hands. Constitutions are set up as a trap by your enemy, and those who reach the end of that blind alley are like Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, searching for the mythical Wizard of Oz. At the end the only thing they find is just a man behind a curtain pushing buttons and pulling levers to create illusions of power. This "wizard" could give them nothing that they didn't already have. By contrast, God is totally honest and upfront, and clearly states that, as an Israelite, you ARE a party to The Covenant (Deut. 29:10-15). Isn't it strange and tragic that so many well-intentioned people have sacrificed and suffered so much to support and defend an illegal and imaginary set of laws and government (imagine-nations) that they aren't even a party to, and ignored the only valid and real Laws and Government on the planet that they ARE a party to, and rightful heirs of? Everything in the world could have been SO different over the last 3,500 years if, as a people and as a nation, Israel would have just kept The Covenant as they/we had promised. The entire planet would be God's Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. The otherwise invincible Hidden Hand has an Achilles' Heel that can and must be exploited if you want to defeat it, and you'll soon read how that weak-spot can be quickly and successfully attacked and fatally-wounded, which will bring their whole house of cards crashing to the ground (Dan. 2:34-45). Do you doubt that God can and will help you defeat the Hidden Hand, if you fight His Way? If so, please read the following Proof of Divine Intervention in the battles of Good against those agents of evil who attempt to thwart God's Plan. You certainly won't win any other way. EVIDENCE / PROOF OF GOD FIGHTING FOR ISRAEL Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper (if you obey Me); and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the "I AM", and their Righteousness [is] from Me, saith the "I AM". Does God just sit back and leave everything to us? In other words, does He not exercise Divine Intervention? It would be totally illogical for someone to create an amazingly intricate and important Plan and then relinquish all control of its implementation, wouldn't it? It would be especially illogical for someone like God Who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and completely fair and unbiased, to trust its carrying-out to beings who couldn't possibly understand all its aspects, let alone the reality of our severely limited powers as human+beings. Let us also not forget the fact that time and again we have proven to be very disobedient, stiff-necked and untrustworthy. If you were in God's position, would you trust US 100% to be able to carry out His plan without Divine help? God created, sustains, and governs the entire Universe, and even taking into account our Free-will, not even the tiniest, seemingly insignificant detail escapes His attention or His control. EVERYTHING happens to each of us for a reason, and He either causes it to happen or allows something to happen, in order to fulfill His Loving Purposes for us - for those who turn to Him and seek to do His Will, with His help and guidance. This is why the first and most important of the 12 Commandments is: YOU shall love, honour, cherish and obey the Lord your God (love, good and truth) with ALL your heart, with ALL your mind, with all your soul and with all your strength and Him ONLY shall you serve and OBEY, forsaking ALL others. Doing God's Will includes keeping His Commandments, Laws, Statutes, Judgments, Agricultural Policy, Economic Policy, and Diet. How could it be otherwise? God will help you fight and win your battles, if you fight His Way. You will be guided every step of The Way when you fight for God, and the first step to learning HOW to fight Father's Way is to learn how to get in tune with His Voice, in order to be able to understand and follow His instructions. It becomes a partnership - He tells you what to do, and you carry out those instructions, and then on to joyful victory! To begin learning how to tune into God's Voice, from the only person on the planet qualified and capable of teaching you, you first need to read and digest his book, " The Way home or face The Fire ". There are countless instances throughout known world history where God has manifested His power in this physical plane, to undeniably assist His soldiers, but just in case none of them come immediately to mind, the following are some examples: Ancient/Biblical: Moses and the Parting of the Red Sea This is among the most famous examples of God fighting for Israel. As described in Exodus 14:1-31, God led Moses and the rest of the Israelites out of Egypt to the shores of the Red Sea. Pharaoh believed they were trapped by the sea and could go no further, so he hardened his heart and pursued them. God's "pillar of the Cloud" came between the Egyptian army and the camp of Israel, preventing the Egyptians from attacking, and then God parted the Red Sea after instructing Moses to raise his hands over the sea. The Israelites crossed the parted sea on dry land, and once across, while the pursuing Egyptians were also crossing the sea on dry land, God rejoined the waters and drowned all the Egyptians. Joshua and the Conquest of Canaan; The Battle of Jericho; The Sun Stands Still When God led the Israelites out of Egypt, He promised to give them the land of Canaan, a land "flowing with milk and honey"; but not without having them do their part (a partnership, remember?) to battle the inhabitants - His Way. The Book of Joshua gives a number of accounts of God fighting for/with Israel, as Joshua led them in the conquest of Canaan. Among the many examples of God's omnipotence, to show ALL the people in Canaan's surrounding regions that God Himself fights for Israel, there are two especially well-known extraordinary events during that campaign. The first is: the walls of Jericho falling down flat. The Israelites were instructed by God to have all the armed men, seven priests blowing seven trumpets of rams' horns, and The Ark of The Covenant, compass (march around) the city once per day for six days, and for the other Israelites to be silent. Then on the seventh day they compassed the city in the same manner, but as per God's instructions, did so seven times, and on the seventh time, ALL the people shouted greatly (Joshua 6:1-20), and the walls of Jericho fell down flat. Then the Israelite soldiers went in and conquered the city. The second especially noteworthy miracle during the Joshua-led conquest of Canaan, is the Battle of Gibeon, when the sun and the moon stood still for an entire day, at Joshua's request to God (Joshua 10:6-14). All things are possible with God, and no miracle is impossible for Him - for the faithful who are obedient and believe (Genesis 18:14; Matthew 19:26; Mark 9:23-24; Luke 18:27) David and Goliath Along with the "Parting of the Red Sea", this is probably one of the best known God-aided military battles in the entire Bible (1Sam. 17:4-52). Goliath, the Champion of the Philistines was over nine feet tall, powerfully built, and heavily armoured. Like the New World Order treats you, he arrogantly scoffed at the puny (by comparison) youth standing before him. The youth David, who could not wear a worldly suit of armour because of its weight, was armed only with a sling, five stones, and the spiritual armour of faith that God would fight for/with him (1Sam. 17:45-47). David quickly slung one stone and, God-guided, it sunk into Goliath's forehead - killing him instantly (see also Dan. 2:34-35, 45 and the Stone that does the same to the giant Babylonian beast system represented by the gigantic statue in Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon's nightmare). The Modern British Empire Era: The word "British" is Hebrew and means the "People of the Covenant", that means, the "People Israel of the Covenant". In Jacob's famous dream of The Ladder, God prophesied that Jacob's descendants would spread abroad to the West ( U.S.A. ), and to the East ( Australia, New Zealand ), and to the North (Canada), and to the South (Africa)" (Gen. 28:14). At its peak, the British Empire ruled up to three-fourths of the world, and was prophesied (and did) possess the [sea] gates of its enemies (Gen. 22:17). The Twelve Tribes of Israel in the primary areas of their modern dispersion, are as follows: Reuben (lo! a son) - northern France, Canada (Quebec province), and Louisiana (U.S.A.); Simeon (one heard) - Belgium; Levi (crowned) - scattered amongst the 12 Tribes; Judah (praised): Pharez branch - Palestine, Zarah branch - Scotland , Northern Ireland (UK), northern Denmark (Jutland); Dan (judging) - Ireland (Republic) & southern Denmark, and absorbed into Joseph/Manasseh in the U.S.A.; Naphtali (contests) - South Africa & Rhodesia (now called Zimbabwe); Gad (good fortune, fortunate) - Gibraltar ; Asher (happy) - Canada; Issachar (an hire) - Australia & New Zealand; Zebulun (dwelling) - Holland, New Zealand & Australia; Joseph/Manasseh (forgetting, making forget) - United States of America; Joseph/Ephraim (double or twin-land) - United Kingdom; Benjamin (son of the right hand) - Palestine, and amongst the other Tribes around the world. There are also true racial Israelites, particularly of the Tribe of Dan, in Scandinavia and the three Baltic States. The Spanish Armada: defeated by God. Elizabeth the 1st had engraved on commemorative medals: "He blew with His winds and they were scattered." The Angels of Mons (1914): defended the British troops after a national day of prayer. The White Cavalry nr. Bethune (1918): defended the British troops. The Miracle of Dunkirk (1940): troops saved after a national day of prayer. To obtain God's help you must return to keeping The Covenant Resulting in abundant life for all who do return to keeping The Covenant and being God's Demonstration people. Recovery of The Ark of The Covenant Isaiah 16:1 Send ye the Lamb to the ruler of the land from the Rock to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion [Tara]. The "Lost" Ark of The Covenant, which contains the two stone tablets with the Ten Commandments written on them, as well as the original five scroll books of The Law given to Moses by God at Mt. Sinai, is buried in an underground chamber underneath (not in) the Mound of The Hostages (2kings 14:14; 2Chronicles 25:24), at the Hill of Tara (Torah), in County Meath , Ireland. Its recovery will be the greatest event to happen on this planet, and considering the accelerated declining state of the world, not a moment too soon. Along with The Ark are buried: Israelite queen Teia Tephi (daughter of king Zedekiah - 2 kings 24:17-18, 25:6-7; Jeremiah 43:6), the Harp of David, the Breastplate of Aaron, and other Israelite treasures. When shown to the world, The Ark of The Covenant is tangible proof that The Bible is True, that no-one can argue with, and not just a book of nice stories and a moral conduct guide. It would also prove that the Irish people are descended from the Israelite Tribe of Dan, and by extension would prove that the people of America, Great Britain, the Commonwealth, and Ireland are the true descendants of the "Ten Lost Tribes of Israel", and will reveal that to the world. This will also involve the recovery of the Stone of Destiny (Lia Fail / Bethel / Jacob's Pillar) and it fulfilling its destiny, for which it was named The Stone of Destiny, as God's Throne on Earth. Paul in his letter to the Romans said, "blindness (as to their true identity) is happened to part of Israel (the ten "lost" tribes - the House of Israel), until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in (the time of the revealing )"; Rom. 11:25-26). Once it is recovered, then The Ark will become the focal point for all the people around the planet (and there won't be many of them) who want to keep God's Laws, and who want to help each other and put the world right, and will be drawn like a magnet to The Ark and gather together (Rev. 26:8-13), and the power of The Ark bringing the True Believers together along with returning to keeping The Law will make the system of Babylon crumble. Just before The End, Father said He would send EliJAH the Prophet, and he will tell the people that they must remember and return to the Laws given to Moses at Sinai (Malachi 4:4-5). If Israel, does not return to His Laws and get rid of Babylon, then He will smite the Earth with a curse and burn everybody up (Malachi 4:1). As already explained, it is not hard to believe that these are indeed the "End Times" . It is now time for mankind to see that he is going the wrong way, and that if he keeps going in the wrong direction then there is no future. The only future is to STOP, and recover The Ark; then that earth-shattering event will show everyone that this now is their LAST chance to repent (Rev. 14:6-12), and people will have to return to keeping God's Laws in The Covenant and put everything right. If everyone goes back to keeping The Covenant, Father has said that He will take away all sickness from the world and He will put everything right. At this point in time, in order for the entrance to the tomb to be excavated, a license is required from the Irish Minister for Heritage, Sile de Valera (now - 2007 - John Gormley, Minister for the Environment). All that needs to be done is to dig an otherwise insignificant 6 ft. x 6 ft. piece of rough flat grass near The Mound of The Hostages. Just as when Moses was serving Father, and pharaoh was given 10 chances (the ten plagues of Exodus 7:14 - 11:10) to do the right thing and let the Israelites go, now the Irish Government is acting like pharaoh. Satan, who is the real power behind the Hidden Hand, does not want The Ark recovered. THE FIVE STEPS TO DEFEATING THE NEW WORLD ORDER God has told us in the Scripture that He hates Esau (the Synagogue of Satan and their New World Order), and is wanting to help you as He has always helped Israel when the people have done His will. It is His expressed Will that you defeat them, so He will undoubtedly help us to destroy the Synagogue of Satan / N.W.O., once we agree to obey Him and do it His way. Malachi 1:2 I have loved you, saith the "I AM". Yet ye say, Wherein hast Thou loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the "I AM": yet I loved Jacob, 1:3 And I hated Esau , and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the "I AM" hath indignation for ever. Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are NOT, but do LIE (Idumeans); behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. But He won't help unless we do His Will and follow His orders. We know from Scripture and History that God has always helped His people defeat their enemies when we do it His way. The First Step is: A Clear Goal - The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth The first step in accomplishing any task successfully is to already know what the end result will be that you are working towards. The goal of Our Mission should be: establishing God's Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, which is a society based on spiritual values of Pure Love, Humility, Truth, Peace, Joy, Trust, Unselfishness, Freedom, and Abundance. For a preview of what your life would be like, living under God's system of Laws in The Kingdom, after the war has been won and Babylon has fallen, in comparison to life in the world today under Satan's Babylonian market system, please read Chapter 28 of Deuteronomy (the " Blessings and Curses " chapter). You have been living under the "Curses" clause (Deut. 28:15-68) for failure to keep His Laws, so read that part first. Then compare that to all the wonderful BLESSINGS (Deut. 28:1-14) you can have showered upon you and your loved ones, by returning to keeping The Covenant. Can you even compare that to what any man-made constitution gives you (even if the most benevolent man-made constitutional government could be fully upheld and enforced)? Your Free-will choice should be easy. Establishing The Kingdom can ONLY be accomplished by destroying man-made laws and governments, and reinstating, and living as Israelites under, God's "Royal Laws of Liberty", with only God our Father as our only Supreme Ruler and Authority, and His duly appointed Christ as our Earthly King. So the immediate Goal is to reclaim for God, from the satanic N.W.O., the territories currently inhabited by the modern dispersed Israelites, starting in the Manasseh territory called America ; and destroy all man-made legislation, and FORCE the Federal Reserve Bank to give back the Trillions of dollars that it has stolen from the people since 1913. When divided equally, this money should make every person in America an instant millionaire. In the next section of this booklet, you will find the specific Plan on how to achieve our goal. The Second Step is: YOU - Learning HOW to fight the right way - for God, His Way. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of My Knowledge: because thou hast rejected My Knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me: seeing thou hast forgotten The Law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. In the time between NOW and THEN (living in the established Kingdom of Heaven on Earth), we are fighting a Holy War, using spiritual warfare tactics that you are most likely unfamiliar with. Your Spirit Being must be properly trained to become a disciplined soldier, following Divine orders, and knowing HOW to fight that kind of war. Learn how to put on the Whole Armour of God (Eph. 6:10-19), and wield His Sword of Truth (the real " Light Sabre ") to conquer His enemies. It may come to a "conventional" fight, but at the moment our weapons are not necessarily carnal (2Cor. 10:3-7). Do you have what it takes to be a Holy Warrior? You will be battling the forces of supreme evil, and you can't win if you fight without God's help (Num. 14:36-45), or try to do it your own way, so you need the Force of Supreme Goodness as your ally , and when you have THAT, then you can't lose. Of course, that Force of Supreme Goodness is: God our Father, and the only way to tap into and use His Force is to learn to do His Will. You can't expect anyone else to keep God's Laws, if you aren't setting the example and already doing it yourself, so it is vital that you get yourself sorted out first by personally returning to keeping God's Laws, Statutes, Judgments, Agricultural Policy, Economic Policy, and Diet. To begin your spiritual training, you must have your head (mind) anointed with the "oil of understanding" (Psalm 23:5, Matt. 25:1-13, 1John 2:20), or you won't be able to fully comprehend and carry-out The Plan. You not only need to fully understand what you are fighting against, but more importantly what you are fighting FOR. You need the crucial knowledge that is explained and found only in the Book, called " The Way home or face The Fire ", because that's what the option is. You either keep God's Law and go home, or you face The Fire. And in the Book, everything that you need to know is covered, written by JAH. The information in " The Way home or face The Fire " contains THE critical key piece to the "jigsaw puzzle of life" that makes all the pieces of God's mysteries of life on Earth fit. This book definitively answers the age-old question, "What on Earth am I doing here?" People tell you that God created the Earth and humans, but nobody tells you why. Was He bored? You will learn why it was necessary for God to create the Earth, why it was necessary for Him to create humans; and what a Being is, where it came from, and why it's placed inside a human, that then makes a human+Being. Among other things, you will also learn why you are now in a position of having to fight for your right to enter God's Kingdom, and the core/root reasons you've been searching for of why your enemies of the Hidden Hand are running the world the illogical and destructive way that they are, and why they are always working toward your enslavement and misery. If you want more details of the book, at the end of this booklet you'll find a URL web link where you can go to read a little bit about it and to see the address where you can send for it. The Third Step is: Unity - All singing the "New Song" from the same song-sheet. Satan has been "dividing and conquering" us, therefore we must unite to defeat him. Ever since Adam and Eve, Satan has been very successful at organizing and dividing human+Beings on planet Earth, by using their egos, into many different groups, filling them with various "philosophies", "doctrines", and "ideas" in order to pit them against each other, to keep them fighting each other his way, for 6,000 years and certainly at least the last 2,600 years. The "patriot" and "constitutional restoration" movements suffer from ill-conceived plans and being divided into too many splinter groups. The only effective way to WIN is to UNITE all faithful, God-fearing, freedom-minded people under one banner or ensign and work as one unit, under the right leader who is carrying-out the only plan that will succeed, at the proper time. Working with a unified purpose is what our evil enemy does, and look at the "success" they've enjoyed. Wouldn't it be wise for us to do the same? Also, there are many Moslems in America. The Moslems are also commanded in The Koran (Sura 5:8 and 16:91) to keep The Covenant and God's Laws in The Torah. So you should think of them as potential allies, not necessarily as enemies. You have people that I've heard of like the Promise-Keepers, and they also have a large following, and they cannot call themselves Promise Keepers and break The Covenant - their promise to God. And then there are the Christian Militias, of whom there are many in Michigan and elsewhere in America. That gives a power-base of millions of soldiers to arrest the legislators and the usurers and put them on trial, under God's Law. Once the alphabet soup brigade find out the truth, they will divide along the lines of whom they follow - God or the New World Order. You have to force the legislators to repeal all legislation or be tried for treason against God, and suffer the penalty in God's Law, which is execution, if found guilty of treason. Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the [other] Apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 5:31 Him hath God exalted with His right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him. 1Peter 4:17 For the time [is come] that Judgment must begin at the House of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God? The Fourth Step is: Leadership - Follow the Rightful Leader. Who is capable of uniting ALL of those diverse, yet similar people, and leading them to victory? The person who is chosen and sent by God. There are a few examples: Moses, Joshua, Christ Jesus. Joshua's conquest of Canaan. Mohammed and his followers attacked the evil Meccans, but failed to take the city only because that wasn't what God wanted them to do, but they easily conquered all other places for God when it was God's Will. The Leader would come from the Tribe of Joseph/Ephraim (Gen. 49:10, 22-24), whose body would be born in England. If you are someone who is currently leading a group of people in a particular strategy of fighting the New World Order, then that has been a good thing, up to a point. Father has obviously blessed you with the talent and experience to organize, recruit, and manage tasks and people and I'm sure you will have learned a lot from the experience: both good and bad lessons. I can't suggest strongly enough that you read and take fully to heart all the information in this booklet and related web links, put away your ego, learn true humility, and do what it is now time that Father wants you to do - which is to merge/join your group under the Leader that God has chosen. Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the Day cometh, that shall burn like an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts, that it shall leave of them neither root nor branch (nothing). 4:2 But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in The Day that I shall do [this], saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts. 4:4 Remember ye and return to The Law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the Statutes and Judgments. 4:5 Behold, I will send you EliJAH the Prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the "I AM" (Sura 43:61): 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse (see verse 1). Isaiah 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the "islands of the sea". 11:12 And He shall set up an Ensign for the nations, and [ Shiloh] shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isaiah 42:1 Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine "Elect", [in whom] My soul delighteth; I have put My Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth Judgment to the Gentiles. 42:2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 42:3 A bruised reed he shall not break, and the smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth True Judgment. 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, until he hath set True Judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for His Law. 42:5 Thus saith God the "I AM", He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and Spirit to them that walk therein: 42:6 I the "I AM" have called thee in Righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a Covenant of the people, for a Light to the Gentiles; 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from this prison [planet], [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 42:8 I [am] the "I AM": that [is] My name: and My glory I will not give to another, neither My praise to graven images. Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a NAME written, that NO man knew, but HE himself (ch. 2:17; 3:12). 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 19:16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; Revelation trumpets of the seven angels; Trumpet # 7: Trumpet # 7 - The Little Book/White Stone: 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God (on Earth) should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the Prophets. 10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke unto me again, and said, Go [and] take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the "sea" and upon the "earth". 10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it], and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth as sweet as honey. 10:10 And I took the little book ( white stone ch. 2:17) out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten (digested) it, my belly was bitter. 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. Sura 5:17. There hath come to you from "I AM" a (new) Light and an understandable Book ,- 5:18. Wherewith "I AM" guideth all who seek His good pleasure to The Way of Peace and Safety, and leadeth them out of darkness, by His Will, unto the Light,- guideth them to The Way that is Straight. The Fifth Step is: The Winning Plan If you have read this booklet all the way through to this point, then you now know Who you are and Who your enemy is; you know Why your enemy is doing what he's doing against you, and Why any and all of your past efforts to defeat your enemy and gain true freedom have failed; you know What caused you to be under your enemy's yoke to begin with; you know When to start fighting; you know Where the battle will be fought, and you are about to learn exactly How to Fight and Win that battle - and the Plan is amazingly simple. Legislation is the NWO's power-base. Remove that and their whole house-of-cards will fall. That is why it says in Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not ADD unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it , that ye may keep the Commandments of the "I AM" your God which I COMMAND you. Rothschild lied when he said, "I care not who makes a country's laws as long as I make their money." He judged everyone by his own standards and assumed that everyone was like him and had their price. Unfortunately, it appears he was right about the majority of people. The fact that the New World Order got their puppet politicians to enact the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, and the fact that they had John F. Kennedy killed when he went to repeal it, is proof that Rothschild lied. Their Achilles' Heel is The Bible - Torah Law in The Covenant that prohibits not only legislation but usury upon which their system thrives. Cut off their illegal legislation and usury and they will fall. They claim to be God's chosen people but break God's Laws. Throw the Bible Law at them and see how they squirm. They cannot claim to be God's chosen people and break His Laws. It's one or the other. The Plan, Part # 1. Proclaim Liberty Under God's Laws. Thomas 15:16 Jesus said: When you make the two one, you shall become sons of Man, and when you say: "Mountain (government), be moved", it will be moved. Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the Fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this government, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the people; it shall be done. 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive (if ye DO God's Will and not your own). Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this government, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the people; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them] (if they be in accord with God's Will). Once you are keeping God's Laws, you will then be in a position to expect everyone else to return to and keep God's Laws. The first part of The Plan is for you, and many other people just like you from around America, to send a warning to legislators that ALL man-made legislation is treason against God's Laws, the only valid Laws on planet Earth, and allow them 15 days to repent - by repealing ALL man-made (therefore illegal) legislation. This warning is in the form of a letter called, the "Proclamation of Liberty", and you will find a copy of it at the end of this booklet. This letter is already formatted and ready to photocopy and mail out. It just needs you to do it. The legislators will never do it on their own if they believe "the party" is going to continue carrying-on for them as it always has, so you have to force the legislators to repeal all legislation, or be tried and executed for treason against God. If you send that "Proclamation of Liberty" out to all the legislators, then they have a decision to make. They either return to God's Laws or they suffer the penalty. Hopefully none of the legislators will refuse to obey God, and refuse to repeal all this false legislation that they've used to enslave you, and then nobody will be punished. But the choice is theirs. And your choice is whether you obey God or whether you obey the New World Order (remember, you are the children of whom you serve), and suffer what they have in store for you. If you want to defeat them, then you have to do what God has told you to do. There is NO other alternative. Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the [other] Apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 5:31 Him hath God exalted with His right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him. 1 Peter 4:17 For the time [is come] that Judgment must begin at the House of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God? The Plan, Part # 2. Enforce God's Laws. Carry-out His Judgments: arrest, prosecute, and execute all legislators who are guilty of treason for refusing to obey God and failing to act on God's warning. "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over its image, and over its mark, [and] over the number of its name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the "Song of Moses" (Old Covenant - Deut. 31) the servant of God, AND the "Song of the Lamb" (New Covenant), saying, Great and marvellous [are] Thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] Thy Ways, Thou King of the holy people. Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? for [Thou] ONLY [art] Holy (Matt 19:17): for all nations shall come and worship before Thee; for Thy Judgments are made manifest . And after that I looked, and, behold, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony in heaven was opened:" ~ Revelation 15:1-5 Legislators take and carry-out their marching orders from the Hidden Hand because they are bribed and/or threatened. They are told that if they don't pass this or that legislation, then the Hidden Hand will carry out all sorts of actions against them, including death. Our Mission is to first make these legislators MORE afraid of God and His soldiers than of the Hidden Hand, to the point where no one will even want to be a legislator anymore. Just sending warnings have no effect if the terms are not carried out. If you state that you will do something after a certain time limit if your demand is not met, and then you fail to follow through and do that thing, then your demands will NOT be taken seriously. However, if you warn ALL the legislators, and then one by one the sentences are carried out against those who failed to satisfy God's demand before the time limit was up, then those legislators who remain will be more likely to act positively. Hopefully they won't be necessary, but "enforcement units", which can be individual people acting alone, must be ready to carry out the arrest and prosecution, where there is any doubt of guilt, and the Lawful execution of all treasonous legislators. This requires your unwavering total commitment to serving God and championing His Cause (thereby becoming an Israelite by the true definition of the word), even unto death. Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT of her, MY people , that ye take not part in her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues (punishment). 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her inequities. 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works : in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double. 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen , and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God Who judgeth her. 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city (new) Babylon (Rome), that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. Deuteronomy 7:11 Thou shalt therefore KEEP the Commandments, and the Statutes, and the Judgments, which I command thee this day, to DO them. 7:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these Judgments, and keep, and do them, that the "I AM" thy God shall keep unto thee the Covenant and the mercy which He sware unto thy fathers: 7:13 And He will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: He will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which He sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 7:14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 7:15 And the "I AM" will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee. 7:16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the "I AM" thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare unto thee. Deuteronomy 17:9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days (Hebrews 6:20, 7:1-3, 7:11-17), and enquire; and they shall show thee The Sentence of Judgment: 17:10 And thou shalt do according to The Sentence, which they of that place which the "I AM" shall choose shall show thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee: 17:11 According to The Sentence of The Law which they shall teach thee, and according to the Judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline to do The Sentence which they shall show thee, and turn not away from it [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left. 17:12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the "I AM" thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. 17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously (in thinking they are a law unto themselves). CONCLUSION The House of Jacob and the House of Esau have been battling each other throughout history, beginning when Jacob and Esau themselves were still inside Rebekah's womb (Genesis 25:22-23). In comparing correctly interpreted Bible prophecy to known world history, with very few prophecies left to be fulfilled, there is little doubt that these are the " End Times ". God has promised in these times to bring an end to Satan's rule and influence over the world (Daniel 2:26-45), first by bringing Satan's Babylonian market system crashing down to the ground, and then destroying Satan himself and ALL his followers, once and for all. After the "Elect" have been gathered, the Earth will be Reaped and then remade. Then the "Elect" will return to the new Garden of Eden - the newly restored Earth (Revelation 21:1-8). Just exactly what and how the detailed sequence of events in His Master Plan will come to pass, only God knows, but the time of "Two Possible, Parallel Paths" of prophecy fulfillment will soon end and become One Path. Those of us who have chosen to fight for God - His Way - against Satan, have the peace of mind that comes from knowing God and His Christ, and that we are definitely on the winning side. We have God's promise that He will choose the House of Jacob/Israel and that He will NEVER restore the Birthright or Blessing to Esau/Edom. In fact, He has promised to utilise the descendants of the House of Jacob to destroy the "wise" Edomites (Hidden Hand conspirators) for taking advantage and stealing Israel's substance while the "I AM" was chastising the children of Israel (Obadiah 1:18). God has promised to expose the secrets of the Hidden Hand, and confound their leaders and visible agents, making them inadvertently publicly say The Truth (Obadiah 1:6-15). The New World Order is not new, and it's been going on for at least 2,600 years. When are you going to stop it? There's only one way to stop it, and that is to go back to keeping God's Laws, and to make the legislators back down. The legislators are bought or frightened by the New World Order, to keep making up this legislation, to rip you off, make you poor, and enslave you. So, the only way that you're going to stop that from happening, is if these legislators are more afraid of you than they are of the New World Order. And the only way that they are going to be more afraid of you is if you tell them what's going to happen to them if they don't keep God's Law and get rid of all this illegal legislation that they've made up. You have to put the fear of God into these people. What are you waiting for? I can help you to do that, and I will help you to do that, if you want me to. I've told you in this booklet what the situation is. I've told you what the options are. This Proclamation of Liberty AND its enforcement, is the straw that is guaranteed to break the New World Order's back, but it's no good if you don't agree to do it, and you don't make lots and lots of copies, and send it to all the legislators. If you enforce this Law, and you make them afraid of God, and you as His people, you will win. I believe there's 537 of them, including the V.P. and the President. There's only 537 of these people who are messing up your life, how many of you are there? There must be thousands of you, if not millions of you. You have to stop bickering, falling out, and squabbling with ego problems amongst yourselves, and get yourselves together, united in one cause, and God has told you that there is only one way to do this. I just hope that you make the right decision and decide to do it. I can send you proof from the Scriptures, I can talk till I'm blue in the face, it will make no difference if you don't do it. And if you don't do it, I'm very sorry, but you're going to burn, and that's the Scripture. You either believe God or you don't, and then if you believe Him then you have to obey Him, and you have to do His Will. He's told you that He would let all of this happen to you to teach you a lesson for not keeping His Law, but He's also told you that He would fight with you and for you, and that you will win, it says so in the Scriptures that you will win, if you fight. I hope that you will send for this book, " The Way home or face The Fire ", and I hope you will study it, and then you will know where I'm coming from, and you will know all that you need to know in order to decide whether you want to fight, or whether you want to lose. Because one way or another you are going to lose if you don't fight. So, really, it's up to you. Isaiah 52:2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 52:3 For thus saith the "I AM", Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. Micah 4:13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine "horn" iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the "I AM", and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. Now, I don't want you to go around unnecessarily killing people - that's not the object of the exercise. You send out the Proclamation of Liberty to the legislators, then it's up to them. They either obey God, or under God's Law, which is the only Law on this planet that is legal, then they have to suffer the consequences. But somebody will have to carry that out, and that's what it also says in The Law, it says that YOU have to enforce The Law, and THAT will keep you free. Malachi 1:2 I have loved you, saith the "I AM". Yet ye say, Wherein hast Thou loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the "I AM": yet I loved Jacob, 1:3 And I hated Esau , and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the "I AM" hath indignation for ever. Obadiah 1:18 And the House of Jacob shall be a fire, and the House of Joseph a flame, and the House of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be [any] remaining of the House of Esau; for the "I AM" hath spoken [it]. Isaiah 14:1 For the "I AM" will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the House of Jacob. 2Esdras 6:7. Then answered I and said, What shall be the parting asunder of the times? or when shall be the end of the first, and the beginning of it that followeth? 6:8 And He (an angel, 5:31) said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, when Jacob and Esau were born of him, Jacob's hand held first the heel of Esau. 6:9 For Esau (Edom) is the end of the world, and Jacob (Israel) is the beginning of it that followeth. 6:10 The hand of Man is between the heel and the hand: other question, Esdras, ask thou not. Obadiah 1:6 How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his hidden things sought up! 1:7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee [even] to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, [and] prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a wound under thee: [there is] none understanding in him. 1:8 Shall I not in that day, saith the "I AM", even destroy the wise [men] out of Edom , and understanding out of the mount of Esau? 1:9 And thy mighty [men], O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 1:10 For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 1:11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou [wast] as one of them. 1:12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress. 1:13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of My people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity; 1:14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress. 1:15 For the day of the "I AM" [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 17:14 These shall make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful. We've had 6,000 years to prove whom we prefer to believe: God our Father, Who IS Love, Goodness, and Truth; or Satan, the father of lies. This is our VERY LAST chance. There are only two choices and there is still time for you to decide, but not much time. One choice leads to the Strait Gate, which leads home , and the other leads to The Fire, so for your own sake, please choose wisely. Given your Free-will to decide what you believe and do about it, only one question remains: WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON (Matthew 12:30; Luke 11:32)? Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the "Strait" gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 7:14 Because Strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] The Way, which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it. * * * ACTION STEPS * * * What You Should Do Next: And now I'd like to congratulate you on your progress through this booklet and invite you to become a member of this fulfilling new program. The very fact that you have come this far, proves to me that you might be serious about carrying out the ONLY plan that will defeat Satan, his Hidden Hand hierarchy, and its New World Order infrastructure. It tells me that you will want to read and absorb the wealth of information waiting for you in the Books listed below. Don't try to fool yourself by imagining it's going to be all cake and roses! Nothing is easy at first! You have to understand that even though I will "spoon feed" it to you, there is an awful lot of information you will have to absorb and some very powerful people you are going to have to fight. However, if you are determined to do whatever is necessary, and will work and study hard for a few weeks, you should be able to regain your freedom and become healthy, wealthy and prosperous, within six-months to a year! Once again, don't worry. I will guide you all The Way in this and won't leave anything to chance. My goal is to teach you everything you need to know to start getting results quickly. If you'll let me take you by the hand, you will have the opportunity to help defeat the Hidden Hand's New World Order within 180 days, and finally set yourself and your loved ones FREE! You'll soon be enjoying God's wonderful Blessings, week after week, month after month, year after year, for the rest of your life! So, let's get going. There is much more to learn, lots of training to be done and new friends to meet. Send The Ark of The Covenant excavation request letter to John Gormley. You can download the letter at: REQUEST . Please print it out, add your name and mailing address, sign it, and send it to John Gormley's office in Dublin. Send out "Proclamation of Liberty" letter to ALL your legislators (fed, state, local). Anonymously send the "Proclamation of Liberty" letter to ALL 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, ALL 100 U.S. Senators, the U.S. President, and the U.S. Vice-President. Then send it to your state Governor, ALL your state legislators (members of state houses/assemblies & state senators), even your local mayor and town councils. You will find the "Proclamation of Liberty" at the end of this booklet. Order, read, and digest the "little book", titled "The Way home or face The Fire ". wayad.htm Order and read "Yoda, Jedi Master". This is the follow-up book to "The Way home or face The Fire", and the advanced daily training manual. Order and study the "King of kings' Bible". "Seek and ye shall find. Ask and ye shall be given..." This is without question the most complete and accurate translation of The Holy Bible. The culmination of nearly 50 years of preparation. The King of kings' Bible provides a unique interpretation of the Books of The Old Covenant, The New Covenant and The Koran; and includes important Books and parts of Books that were previously removed by various churches and religious organisations. All three Books are fully cross-referenced so that for the first time, readers will understand the relationships and complete harmony with them. The Book of God's first Prophet, Enoch (Idris), through whom God prophesied that His Revelations would be tampered with - and some of the Revelations removed and ignored - has been correctly translated and reinstated. Chapter 34 of the Book of Ezekiel is presented in its correct interpretation. Mis-translations of Christ's teaching in Matthew ch. 6 and ch. 23 have been corrected so that Matthew now rightfully contains the fulfillment of Ezekiel ch. 34. The Book of Tephi, lost until recovered in 1897 has been reinstated. It essentially picks up where the Book of Jeremiah leaves off, and chronicles the voyage of: Jeremiah, Tephi, the Pillar Stone of Jacob, and The Ark of The Covenant, from the "uprooting" in the fallen Jerusalem in 588 BC, to the "planting" in Ireland in 583 BC. Accurate translation has resulted in the word "community" being used instead of "church", and "holy people" instead of "saints". The whole of the Gospel according to Thomas has been reinstated, as has the last chapter of The Book of Acts . The Third Book of the Revelation to John, which was previously removed from the Revelation, has been restored. In the Holy Koran, Ishmael is now correctly identified as Isaac, which now identifies Moriah in Jerusalem as the Holy City - Surah 2:125 and 2:127. The Koran is, for the first time, fully cross-referenced to The Old and New Covenants. In the New Covenant, the words of Christ are in blue, which is God's colour, instead of the usual and wrongful red, which is Satan's colour. There are also many other areas of these important Books where historical interference has been corrected - too numerous to list here. You will read many books and verses that the various and ancient "vested interests" have deliberately hidden from you over the years. The King of kings' Bible is dedicated to world peace and understanding. It is a new Bible for a new millennium. For more information, please Click Here. Peace be Upon You, JAH Publications.

VARIOUS BIBLE & KORAN QUOTES: Enoch 105:25 And this have they kept; and much has the Lord tried (and tested) them (Sura 29:2-3); and their souls (Beings) have been found pure, that they might bless His name. All their blessings have I related in a Book; and He has rewarded them; for they have been found to love heaven with an everlasting aspiration (ch. 39:8). God has said: While they have been trodden down by wicked men, they have heard from them revilings and blasphemies; and have been disgracefully treated, while they were blessing Me. And now will I call the souls (Beings) of the righteous from the Generation of Light (Thom. 8:8), and will change those who have been born in darkness; who have not [whilst] inside their bodies been recompensed with glory, as their faith may have merited. Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of Light: 2Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, Sura 2:256. Let there be NO compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects Evil and believes God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things. 2:257. God is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into Light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones (Enoch 15:8): from Light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for ever). Proclamation of Liberty (Leviticus 25:10 . . . proclaim Liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof:) We The People; in order to form a more perfect union and set ourselves free from oppression; demand that all of the legislative branches of government: federal, state and local, including the President and Vice President, shall repeal and cease to enforce all and every piece of man-made legislation, all of which is criminal; fraudulent and treason against the God in Whom we trust and also against we His people. YHWH ("I AM") has expressly forbidden men from legislating (Deuteronomy 4:2) and has commanded that any and all persons found guilty of so doing should be executed by public stoning, or by any other means available to carry out that task. Usury is unlawful; expressly prohibited, and therefore: We The People demand that the Federal Reserve Bank be prohibited from charging interest and that all interest payments already paid to the FRB shall be refunded, in full, forthwith and redistributed equally amongst all the citizens of these united States of America. We The People therefore give the legislators, including the President and Vice-President, 15 days to take the necessary steps to repeal all previous man-made legislation and revert to enforcing only God's Laws in The Bible. Failure to comply with this order from We The People and the direct Command of God; as expressed in The Bible; will result in the guilty being executed. We The People demand that all persons convicted under man-made legislation and therefore wrongfully imprisoned shall be released immediately and the judges who unlawfully condemned and sentenced them shall take their places in prison and personally, from their own funds, not the state purse, compensate the offended persons for their wrongful imprisonment. Furthermore: anyone collaborating with the enemy; by seeking to or enforcing and/or administering any of the aforementioned illegal legislation against We The People; is guilty of the same crimes as the legislators and will, according to God's Law, also be executed in accordance with The Law. You have been warned.

Thank you. Custom designed and printed $100 Bill Business Cards These business cards, also known as drop cards, are designed to be folded in half to create the illusion of a genuine US $100 bill. They are 100% legal as they are not a “reproduction” of a $100 bill in size or content. Unfolded size of card is approximately 4″ x 2 3/4″. What a fun way to get your info to the masses. Hand your friend, family member or even a total stranger a $100 bill and they’ll likely not say “No Thanks”. Lay these $100 bills around the local mall or even lay them on the sidewalk and stand back and watch as people just can’t resist picking up these realistic C-notes. (please be responsible and DO NOT LITTER!) Do remember to be responsible with these cards. Most likely your cards will identify YOU with YOUR name or phone number or other on them. Please resist the urge to leave one of these with your tip at the local diner. That just isn’t funny and will get you a bad reputation very quickly! Click on the following examples to see a larger view of each. Click here for many more examples of some actual customer card proofs. The samples above are very low resolution images. The final product is printed from a 1200dpi uncompressed TIFF file to create a crisp and clear print in green ink on a paper which gives a very similar look to that of a genuine US $100 bill. They are edge glued in pads of 100 for your convenience. Just peel and fold. Please note that you are not limited to the samples shown on this page. These cards are totally customizable and examples are shown primarily to give you an idea of what can be done. While you are certainly free to choose an example type to use, please feel free to send me your own unique ideas. I suggest that you send an SASE for a recently printed sample card before purchasing so you can be fully aware of the quality of these custom cards. Please send your SASE to the address on our contact page. I will contact customers via email after payment is received to verify any and all information wanted on the card before creating the first proof. Please return my correspondence ASAP to expedite the order. I will prepare a low resolution jpeg “proof” for your review and consideration. I will make necessary changes to the proof until you are happy with the final results. No rude, crude, or vulgar text or clipart please. I will NOT create something that I feel is offensive. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECIDE THAT! Thank you! In order to keep prices down, we sometimes need to change paper type. All fiber-type paper has been discontinued. The fibers in these previous special order papers were not really noticeable from more than an arms-length distance anyway. So if you have seen these cards in the past, the newest ones ordered may not be printed on the same paper. We carefully choose a paper that will as closely allow us to replicate a true US $100 as possible. The paper is a almost always a 70# paper that is not quite as heavy as an index card (normally 90#) to allow for clean folding. Customers agree that these cards look fantastic!

Is it Time to Update Your Filer Status? Determining Your Filer Status Transitioning to a New Filer Status When Does Your Filer Status Change? Qualifying as a Smaller Reporting Company	Determining and Updating Your Filer Status for SEC Reporting Companies Is it Time to Update Your Filer Status? by Vanessa Schoenthaler on January 21, 2012 If you’re like most companies, the end of the calendar year also marks the end of your fiscal year. That means right about now you’re hard at work on your annual report. It also means that you may have a new filer status for the year and, as a result, your annual report may be due just a bit sooner (or later) than in years past. Ideally, you’ve already confirmed your filer status and, if necessary, planned for the change. Even so, let’s have look at filer status, how you determine it and when you make the change. Determining Your Filer Status All Exchange Act reporting companies fall into three categories of filers: large accelerated filers, accelerated filers and all other filers (a category which is itself comprised of non-accelerated filers and smaller reporting companies). Among other things, your filer status establishes the deadline by which you have to file your annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Determining your filer status requires two things: your public float and your reporting history. Your public float is your worldwide non-affiliate market capitalization and, for purposes of your filer status, is calculated as of the last business day of your most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Your reporting history refers to how long you’ve been an Exchange Act reporting company. To be a large accelerated filer you need to have a public float of $700 million or more. To be an accelerated filer you need to have a public float of $75 million or more, but less than $700 million. Additionally, in either case you must have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least twelve calendar months, you must have filed at least one annual report and you cannot qualify as a smaller reporting company. All other companies, including, in most instances, newly public companies (such as the recently public LinkedIn, Groupon and Zynga) fall into the category of other filers and are classified as either non-accelerated filers or smaller reporting companies. Transitioning to a New Filer Status Once you become a large accelerated filer you will remain a large accelerated filer unless your public float falls below $500 million, as calculated on the last business day of your most recently completed second fiscal quarter. If your public float falls below $500 million but remains at or above $50 million, you will become an accelerated filer. Once you become an accelerated filer you will remain an accelerated filer unless your public float reaches $700 million or more, in which case you will become a large accelerated filer. On the other hand, if you are an accelerated filer, or even a large accelerated filer, and your public float falls below $50 million, you will come into the category of all other filers and will most likely become a smaller reporting company. Finally, if you are a non-accelerated filer or a smaller reporting company you will remain one until you meet all of the requirements necessary to become an accelerated filer or large accelerated accelerated filer. When Does Your Filer Status Change? Even though your public float is calculated as of the last business day of your most recently completed second fiscal quarter, your filer status doesn’t actually change until the end of your fiscal year. If your filer does change, then you must file your annual report, and all subsequent quarterly and annual reports, by the deadline for your new status. Qualifying as a Smaller Reporting Company There are three ways to qualify as a smaller reporting company: have a public float of less than $75 million, calculated as of the last business day of your most recently completed second fiscal quarter; in the case of a initial registration statement, have a public float of less than $75 million, calculated as of a date within 30 days of the registration statement filing date; or if you have no public float, have less than $50 million in annual revenues during the most recently completed fiscal year for which you have audited financial statements.	msmarco_doc_00_1727854
http://100fstreet.com/index.php/2012/05/the-jobs-act-in-a-nutshell-part-iv-regulation-a-redux/	The JOBS Act – The New Regulation A-Type Offering Exemption	The JOBS Act in a Nutshell – Part IV Regulation A Redux The JOBS Act in a Nutshell – Part IV Regulation A Redux A Regulation A Redux Cancel reply	The JOBS Act – The New Regulation A-Type Offering Exemption The JOBS Act in a Nutshell – Part IV Regulation A Redux by Vanessa Schoenthaler on May 9, 2012 Regulation A is a conditional securities exemption allowing for public offers and sales of up to $5 million dollars of securities in a 12-month period. To be eligible to use Regulation A a company must be organized under the laws of the United States or Canada, must not be an investment company or blank check company and must not be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act. Conducting a Regulation A offering is somewhat analogous to conducting a registered offering, though much simpler in form and substance, and is often referred to as a “mini-registration”. In a Regulation A offering a company must prepare and file an offering statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. An offering statement requires disclosures similar to those made in a registration statement, including disclosures regarding a company’s business and financial condition, its officers, directors and principal stockholders, risk factors, a description of the use of offerings proceeds and so on. An offering statement also requires the filing of certain exhibits and the inclusion of financial statements, which can be unaudited but must be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Once a company’s offering statement is on file it is reviewed and qualified by the Commission, similar to the process of a registration statement being reviewed and declared effective. After the offering statement is qualified an offering circular, which makes up part of the offering statement, must be delivered to prospective investors prior to any securities being sold. Thereafter the company must file reports with the Commission detailing the securities sold and the use of proceeds from those sales. The reports must be filed every six months until substantially all of the proceeds from the offering have been applied. Notwithstanding the sales and use of proceeds reports, and unlike in a registered offering, once a Regulation A offering is complete there are no ongoing reporting obligations; no current, quarterly or annual reports to file (unless of course Exchange Act registration is triggered by some other means, such as by crossing the shareholder threshold required for registration). What’s more, any securities sold in a Regulation A offering are unrestricted and may be freely transferred in a secondary market transaction. Another way in which Regulation A offerings differ from most other offerings is that Regulation A permits a company to gauge investor interest, or to “test the waters”, by means of general solicitation or general advertising prior to the filing of an offering statement. This ability to test the waters is not without limitation however, for example any written documents or scripts of oral presentations must be filed with the Commission prior to their first use. In addition, a company must also comply with the securities laws in each state in which an offer of securities is to be made, some of which do not permit general solicitation or general advertising. One other item of note, there are also certain instances in which Regulation A can be used for secondary offerings, allowing shareholders resell up to $1.5 million of securities in a 12-month period. Even though Regulation A does offer a simpler alternative to a full-scale registered offering it’s hardly ever used, in part because of its $5 million dollar offering limitation. In 2010 there were 25 initial Regulation A offerings filed with the Commission, but only 7 of these offerings were qualified. A Regulation A Redux The JOBS Act adds a new Section 3 (b) (2) to the Securities Act which calls for the Commission to implement an exemption for the public offer and sale of up to $50 million of securities in any 12-month period. There is no required time frame for implementation of this exemption. The requirements of the new exemption start out much like an enhanced version of Regulation A. The securities, which can be equity securities, debt securities or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, may be publicly offered and sold and will thereafter be freely transferable (they will not be restricted securities). Additionally, subject to any terms or conditions that the Commission may prescribe, companies that wish avail themselves of the new exemption will be permitted to “test the waters” prior to undertaking an offering. Similar to Regulation A, the new exemption contemplates the preparation and filing of an offering statement, the form and content of which the Commission will prescribed, but which may include a description of the company’s business and financial condition, its corporate governance principles, use of proceeds and audited financial statements. In addition, the exemption requires that companies file audited financial statements with the Commission on an annual basis and provides that the Commission may also require additional periodic disclosures regarding the company’s business and financial condition, its corporate governance principles and use of the offering proceeds. Unlike Regulation A, if the securities under the new exemption are offered and sold on a national securities exchange or to qualified purchasers then they will be “covered securities” and exempt from the state securities laws. The Commission also has the discretion to establish disqualification provisions under which the new exemption would not be available to certain companies or their affiliates for reasons substantially similar to the bad actor disqualification provisions to be established under the Dodd-Frank Act (which are themselves based on the disqualification provisions of Regulation A). Lastly, every two years the Commission will have to review and increase, if appropriate, the $50 million offering limitation, or, if not increased, report to Congress as to why.

http://100greatblackbritons.com/bios/ira_aldridge.html	100 Great Black Britons - Ira Aldridge		100 Great Black Britons - Ira Aldridge Site Index :: HOME :: FULL 100 LIST :: PEOPLE DATABASE :: MEDIA CENTRE :: PEOPLE'S CHOICE :: SCHOOLS :: SPONSORS :: RESOURCES :: ARCHIVE Ira Aldridge Famous 19th century black Shakespearean actor Ira Aldridge was born in New York on 24th July 1807. His father, a clerk and lay preacher who became a minister, intended him for the church and sent him to New York's African Free School, where many future leaders of the American abolitionist movement were educated. But young Ira was attracted to the theatre, at a time when British actors were playing in New York, and when the city's free black community had just launched its own African Theatre. Aldridge made his acting debut as Rolla in Pizarro, a Sheridan adaptation of August von Kotzebue's Die Spanier in Peru. But the only way for an ambitious young actor to succeed was to emigrate. Accordingly, when he was 17 or18, Aldridge worked his passage to Liverpool as a ship's steward. His first known British performance was at the Royal Coburg (now known as the Old Vic) on 10th October 1825, as Oroonoko in The Revolt of Surinam, or A Slave's Revenge. The playbill announced him as a 'Man of Colour' - for the novelty. His first performance had a mixed reception. The Times claimed that it was utterly impossible for him to pronounce English properly 'owing to the shape of his lips'. The Globe, on the other hand, found his enunciation 'distinct and sonorous'. Purely because of Aldridge's colour, the press was largely hostile, which prevented him from establishing himself in London. He therefore honed his craft for the next few years, travelling and performing all around England. He became the victim of a sustained London press campaign motivated by racism, and found it difficult to secure engagements, but he never gave up. Outside London, he continued to win respect; a Hull paper said his Othello 'was such as can be equalled by very few actors of the present day'. His contemporaries also praised his work. In the provinces, he played to crowded houses, but was boycotted by the West End stage, so in 1852, Aldridge and his family sailed for Europe. He returned from his European tours so loaded with honours that the West End stage could no longer exclude him. Having become Chevalier Ira Aldridge, Knight of Saxony, he was at last in 1858, deemed worthy to perform at the Lyceum. He performed Othello in Russia and was lionized, earning more money than any Russian actor. One Russian critic said that the evenings on which he saw Aldridge's Othello, Lear, Shylock and Macbeth 'were undoubtedly the best I have ever spent in the theatre'. 'After Aldridge', wrote another, 'it is impossible to see Othello performed by a white actor, even Garrick himself'. After another tour of the British provinces in 1859-60, Aldridge went to Russia again. Between 1861-66, he embarked on a lengthy tour, visiting many places no foreign actor had ever been. He died on tour, in the Polish town of Lodz, on 7th August, 1867, aged 59. The whole town turned out to mourn the passing of an artist of world stature. His youngest daughter, Amanda, gave elocution lessons to the young Paul Robeson in 1930 when he was preparing for his first appearance as Othello in London.	msmarco_doc_00_1739635
http://100greatblackbritons.com/bios/william_cuffay.html	100 Great Black Britons - William Cuffay		100 Great Black Britons - William Cuffay Site Index :: HOME :: FULL 100 LIST :: INTERNATIONAL HEROES :: MEDIA CENTRE :: PEOPLES CHOICE :: SCHOOLS :: SPONSORS :: RESOURCES Member Area :: Login/Logout :: Register William Cuffay Leader of London Chartist Movement, forerunner to the Labour Party The Chartist movement was the first mass political movement of the British working class. Its leader, William Cuffay, was born in 1788 in Chatham. His father, a freed slave from St. Kitts, was a cook on a warship. Cuffay, whose spine and shins were deformed when he was born, became a traveling tailor in his late teens and stayed in that trade his whole life. His political life began when he came out on strike in support of his fellow tailors in 1839. As a result, he lost his job, and joined the movement in support of the People's Charter drawn up by the cabinet maker William Lovett, demanding universal male suffrage, annual parliaments, vote by secret ballot, payment of MPs, and equal electoral districts. Before long, Cuffay, the neat, mild mannered black tailor, 4ft 11 inches tall, emerged as one of the prominent leaders of the Chartist movement. In the autumn of 1839 Cuffay was helping to set up the Metropolitan Tailors' Charter Association - about 80 joined on the first night - and in 1841 the Westminster Chartists sent him to represent them on the Metropolitan Delegate Council. In February 1842 he chaired a 'Great Public Meeting of the Tailors', at which a national petition to the Commons was adopted. Later that same year, the Metropolitan Delegate Council responded to the arrest of George Julian Harney and other national leaders by appointing Cuffay as president and three others to serve as an interim executive. Despite his mildness of character, Cuffay was a left-wing, militant Chartist from the beginning. This militancy earned him recognition in the press of ruling class. Punch lampooned him savagely, and the Times referred to the Chartists as 'the Black man and his Party'. As a result of this press campaign his wife Mary Ann was sacked from her job as a charwoman. In 1846, Cuffay was one of three delegates from London to the Birmingham Land Conference, and he and another tailor, James Knight, were appointed auditors to the National Land Company, which soon had 600 branches all over the country. In the same year Cuffay served as one of the National Anti-Militia Associations directors and was a member of the Democratic Committee for Poland's regeneration of which Ernest Jones, friend of Marx and Engels, was president. For Cuffay, as for so many other working people in Western Europe, 1848 was 'the year of decision'. He was one of the three London delegates to the Chartists' national convention that met in April of that year. In August 1848, Cuffay was arrested, on the information of police spies, for conspiring to levy war against the queen. He was probably aware of the plot, but was not a supporter of it. His bearing in court was very dignified - he objected being tried by a middle class jury, and objected to the evidence against him, which was gathered by police spies known to be dishonest. He was sentenced to transportation to Tasmania for life. The author of 'a word in defence of Cuffay' in the Reasoner had this to say: " When hundreds of working men elected this man to audit the account of their benefit society, they did so in the full belief of his trustworthiness, and he never gave them reason to repent of their choice. Cuffay's sobriety and ever active spirit marked him for a very useful man; he cheerfully fulfilled the arduous duties which devolved upon him. " Cuffay continued his radical activities; he was successful in the agitation for the amendment of the colony's Master and Servant Act. He was described as a 'fluent and effective speaker' who was always popular with the working classes. He received a pardon in 1856, and continued to campaign for the rights of working men. In October 1869, he was admitted to the Tasmania workhouse, in whose sick ward he died in July 1870.	msmarco_doc_00_1743147

It was a disastrous defeat for the British. The song was a mega hit in the early 1960's and as such is not a primary source. It is a some what humorous description of the battle. The American forces defending the New Orleans region were made up of regular army, sea going pirates, conscripted free Blacks and White frontiersmen from what is today (many of these states were still territories) Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi who were in the area on business. This rag tag army put together and led by Jackson virtually slaughtered the better equipped, trained and battle hardened British force.

The song was from the Broadway musical "This Is The Army" and also the film of the same name starring Ronald Reagan who would latter become the President of the United States. 53 - Dixie VIDEO - Dixie by Hastings College Choir (Hastings Nebraska) The song is believed to have been written in the late 1840's or early 1850's by a man from Ohio, Daniel D. Emmett. The original performances were in the "blackface minstrel" style. The lyrics and performances were from the perspective of a freed slave who longed for the life on his old plantation. During the American Civil War the song became the de facto national anthem of the Confederacy. It took on a different approach and meaning for the troops of the South who longed to be able to return to their homes. Because of it's history there are those who under the banner of "political correctness" have called for the song to be essentially expunged from the American record due to what they believe to be it's racist origins. " I disagree with everything you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it .". Voltaire AUTHORS NOTE -- While I stand firmly against racism I also stand firmly for freedom of expression without which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would not have been able to fight the good fight. "Political Correctness" has become increasingly a tool of repression of expression, CENSORSHIP. I don't believe in book banning/burning therefore I also don't support the banning of this song. The best way to continue our growth and development as a nation is to learn from our past, the good, the bad and the ugly. If we destroy or bury our past or any part of it, we are handicapping our future. I am following Republican President Abraham Lincoln's lead in this matter. He listed it as one of his favorite songs and had it played at his rallies following the surrender of Robert E. Lee. This song appears again on this list within the Top 10 as part of a medley. I personally see this song as one of promoting regional pride, individualism, independent and rebellious thinking, all true American values. 52 - If I Don't Make It Back - Tracey Lawrence This 2006 song about a soldier going off to war and how he wants to be remembered if he does not come back.

Mellencamp allowed John Edwards to us the song in his bid to win the Democratic Party Presidential nomination.

Most people don't perceive it as a Christian hymn despite the word "hymn" in the title. What makes the song even more interesting is it uses the tune of "John Brown's Body". John Brown had been a religious fanatic with intense feelings for abolition. He, his followers and allies took up violence along the Kansas and Missouri border, from Lawrence, Kansas in the north to Fort Scott, Kansas in the south, against those favoring slavery. The violence became so widespread that Fort Scott which had been closed as a fort had to be reopened by the federal government in an effort to maintain peace. Brown left Kansas and went to Virginia. There, at Harper's Ferry, he attacked a federal arsenal. He was captured by U.S. military forces led by Robert E. Lee who would latter become the commander of Confederate forces and who's land would be confiscated for Arlington National Cemetery. John Brown was hung for committing an act of treason. The song was a favorite of the great United Kingdom Prime Minster, Sir Winston Churchill. It was sung be Andy Williams at the funeral of Robert Kennedy. It has been used as a song of patriotism for returning servicemen and women. It was performed at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. and at St Paul's Cathedral in London to honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks. This song appears again on our list at #8 as a part of American Trilogy by Elvis Presley and is the only song that is in the top 10, twice.

He was aboard a British warship as it and others pounded Fort McHenry at Baltimore, Maryland. This song of the War of 1812 is a primary source. It wasn't till 1931 that it was named the official National Anthem. Authors Note -- Many people have a very narrowly defined idea as to how the Nation Anthem should be performed and any deviation is close to treason. I do not believe how the National Anthem is performed lies in the mind of any single person or group of people.

http://100peaks.com/2010/04/30/mount-kaala-a-slippery-climb-to-the-highest-point-on-oahu-hawaii/	Mount Ka'ala - A Slippery Climb to the Highest Point on Oahu, Hawaii — 100 Peaks		Mount Ka'ala - A Slippery Climb to the Highest Point on Oahu, Hawaii — 100 Peaks Apr 30 Apr 30 Mount Ka'ala - A Slippery Climb to the Highest Point on Oahu, Hawaii Derek Loranger Peaks, Trip Report Kamalleunu Ridge from Waianae Valley - to Mount Ka'ala Mount Ka'ala Elevation Gain/Loss: 3,500'/3,500' Miles: 7.2 Miles Round-trip Peak Elevation: 4,025' While on a family trip to Oahu, I couldn't help but wonder what it was like to really hike in Hawaii. I did some research and found out that the tallest peak on Oahu is Mount Ka'ala. I also found out that the creators of Hawaiian hiking trails generally don't believe in switchbacks. We flew to Hawaii and had a great time at the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Resort. This morning, I woke up at 6:30AM, even though I thought I would have been up at 5:30AM. I guess my body was getting used to Hawaiian time already. I purchased four large water bottles (three for the pack and one for the car) from the market downstairs at the hotel, since I had forgotten my Camelbak bladder at home, as my daughter likes to use it as a hose to water the plants in our backyard. Also, through a comedy of errors, I left all of my printed maps and trail reports at home. Even though I didn't have the maps with me, I remembered most of the trail from memory. I decided to go against my own rule, No Maps, No Hike, just this once, since I didn't think I'd be back to Oahu any time soon. I drove the slow 25MPH crawl on the 93 to Waianae, where I took a right and drove up the valley to the trailhead. The "real" Hawaii is definitely a change from the commercialized lei-fest that most tourists know. It is rustic and rural; there are chickens and semi-feral dogs everywhere. The trailhead was next to a rustic house that I wasn’t sure was lived in, only I heard a generator start up and I could only gather that someone lived there. I quickly loaded up, making sure all my valuables were with me, since I heard that there can be break-ins in the area. It was already warm, but I still wore my Ex Officio Borocade Pant and was trying out my Ex Officio BugsAway Baja Shirt, which is long-sleeved. I was happy, however, that there was some cloud cover, but was not excited with the possibility of rain, which we had experienced nearly every day on Oahu. I was quickly met by some workers who asked me in a thick Hawaiian accent where I was going. I said, "All the way to the top." They then asked me why I was hiking alone. I pondered the question, since I was hiking a rather potentially dangerous trail by myself. I let them know that I was traveling with my family and that no one would go with me. They smiled to each other and walked away, likely amazed at the stupidity of tourists. I continued up the paved access road, almost immediately covered in sweat. It's humid in Hawaii, just in case you weren't informed. But I was comfortable, since the sun was still behind some clouds and I looked to be entering a forest soon. The Waianae Valley is a beautiful place, surrounded by jagged green ridges. I heard strange bird calls and the lowing of cows, sometimes closer than I would expect. The road ended and I started walking on the red dirt of Hawaii. The trail got a little steeper. Waianae Valley Trail to Ka'ala I encountered a covered picnic table, built by a local Boy Scout and took a breather. That's when I noticed the flies and mosquitoes. They avoided me for the most part, and really left me alone while I was moving. I was thankful for the shirt. The trail continued, almost tunnel-like, along a small ridge hump. I spied a small trail leading down to the left, and made a note to try that one if this trail didn't pan out. Small Ridge Line Tunnel Trail to Ka'ala It wasn't two minutes later when I encountered about 6 guys with 9 dogs. When I told them I was going to Mount Ka'ala, they let me know I was on the wrong trail, pointed me the right way (back down that trail to the left), and asked me if I'd seen or heard any hogs. I let them know that I hadn't heard anything yet and he let me know that I was in for an uphill battle. The trail descended to a stream and the trail forked again. I took the trail to the right, since the other trail looked like it went downhill. I encountered a small waterfall (shown in the video below), as well as some interesting plants. Fungi along trail to Ka'ala After I scaled the waterfall, the trail disappeared among the thick foliage and leaves on the ground. I decided to turn back and go to the fork and try the other way. I was regretting not having the maps and trip reports with me. Once I got to the other path, I knew right away that I was on the right track, since the path was well-marked and started going uphill right away. I entered a thick forest before emerging into a section where I could turn around and see the ocean in the distance. I then entered another forest where the ground was muddier and slippery. As I ascended the steep trail, occasionally losing my footing in the thick mud, I began to wonder how I was going to get down without killing myself. Forest along the way to Ka'ala Ocean Peek from the Waianae Kai Forest Reserve on the way to Ka'ala Fern clearing on the way to Ka'ala The trail got steeper and steeper. I was walking on roots much of the way and scrambling here and there. After every challenging stretch, I would wonder again, sometimes aloud, "How am I going to get down this?" After using some rope and electrical cable left by someone who came before me, I finally made it to the ridgeline. I stood there for a while and drank in the views and wondered what lay before me as I scouted the ridgeline that steeply spiked upward in front of me. The trail dropped off for hundreds of feet on either side of me. Ridgeline ahead to Ka'ala Makua Keaau Ridge from Ka'ala Ridge Trail Ropes near the Ka'ala Ridgeline Ka'ala Ridgeline Dropoff on the Ka'ala Ridgeline trail "Where is the trail?" I wondered as I looked at a steep green rocky cliff that lay ahead of me. There had to be a way up there somewhere. I continued on the ridge, using the ropes more and more, until I came across about 20-30 feet of rock where the only way I could scale it would be to rely heavily on the knotted cable that ran along it. The rock was slick with rain and general moisture, and my shoes were covered in mud. I looked down on either side and seriously considered turning back. This would be difficult to get up without a lot of exposure. Getting down would be even harder. But I came all this way... Steep section of the Ka'ala Ridgeline Trail Exposure on the Ka'ala Ridgeline Trail I made my way up, but the descent was always in the back of my mind. Even as I made it to the bog Reserve on top with the peculiar plants. One that stood out was a bright blue iceplant-like ground cover that was prevalent near the planks that comprise the bog trail. I made it to the top and through the first fence. I entered the fence to the left of the compound and walked around to the benchmark. There was no view except into the clouds that almost aways shroud Mount Ka'ala, but it's the journey that is memorable. And boy was this an interesting one so far. I waved to some workers at the tracking station as I ate a power bar and drank some water. I longingly looked at the forbidden paved access road that follows a different way down which was completely out of the question for me. Ka'ala sign at the Natural Area Reserve entrance Colorful herbicide along the boardwalk End of the trail on Mount Ka'ala Mount Ka'ala benchmark Foggy view from Mount Ka'ala Taking a deep breath, I shouldered my pack and began the journey back down. It was a slippery, muddy excursion where I could see the drop-off on either side of the trail more clearly than when I was ascending the mountain. I relied on the ropes completely and perfected my rappelling technique in the first few minutes. It was actually fun in some spots until I would lose some footing and dangle over the edge for a bit. I was glad I brought my gloves and was wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt. I was completely muddy and wet when I got back to the car. I realized that I didn't take one picture or shoot a second of video on the way back. I was focused on getting back in once piece. What I learned: The hike to Mount Ka'ala is a hike to take with a buddy. There is some exposure and some physical and moral support would have done wonders. Don't be afraid to wear long sleeves and pants, even in warmer weather. I would undoubtedly be carrying deep scratches and more bites all over if not for that. Insect repellent-clothes work. Mine did. I only got one bite on my knuckle after seeing thousands of mosquitoes. Can't blame the shirt for that. Having a lightweight pair of gloves in your pack can leave you prepared for almost anything. It was nice to have them for the cables and ropes. Have a change of clothes in the car for after a hike. It's been a rule for me for a while now and it really feels nice when I get back to the trailhead. Have some water ready at the car, because you may be out by the time you get there. I wasn't out on this trip, but I've had water issues on previous trips and it's pretty uplifting to know you have a stash when you get to the trailhead. Switchbacks are a blessing. Hiking in the tropics is challenging and gorgeous.

Thanks for the article, great pictures. Definitely advise ANYONE new to this though to bring a buddy and seriously consider going at all. Every year people, esp tourists, die and/or need to be air lifted from hikes like this. They seem dangerous because they are and sadly it leads to the state having to shut down trails for everyone Preview Post Reply carla 5 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Great info. I am researching to do this hike in the next month or so. As for the climb up, how many had ropes? And did you use them or could you do it without them? I do not like using the ropes on trails here unless absolutely necessary. Also, the paved route down that you mention, do you know where it goes? Back to start or down the other side?Thanks. Preview Post Reply Derek Loranger 5 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Carla, only the last 1/3 or do had ropes. It's possible not to use them, but chances are you will. Especially if it's been raining, which it almost always is. Especially for the way down. I've been up there twice now, and seriously it's a steep push up, but it's a lot of fun on the way down. I do recommend some gloves. The paved way down goes down somewhere else and is absolutely off-limits. Preview Post Reply Alexandra Beuchert 6 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Really enjoyed reading this post today! Adventurous husband & myself ("apprehensive") ended up doing this ascent yesterday, completely unplanned & unresearched (aside from a blurb in "Oahu Revealed" saying it was "insanely difficult") due to a scheduling misunderstanding which meant we were in the area, on our 2nd day of being tourists in Oahu. I myself kept thinking (like the author), on the ascent, "How the heck am I going to get down?! It's going to be horrible/terrifying!!" Some locals coming down showed us the spikes they use for the descent--good idea, I thought! But too late for that! I also thought, longingly, of the military road descent---which clearly isn't an option for numerous reasons. Well, shortly after summitting and starting the return, I ended up falling on my face on the planks with the wire grating...and severely gashed my knee---deep enough to definitely be needing stitches. We used a t-shirt as a bandage & managed to get back to the summit, where we had just enough signal to call the Army number on the notice boards. Pleasingly, as it was a Saturday, a single officer was on duty but got permission to come out to help us w/his first aid kit. (How lucky was I?!?) He had a colleague coming up the mountain in 45 minutes, and he got permission once his colleague was up, to very kindly take us down the "official use only" road to a nearby high school, where he (again, very kindly!) organised a taxi to take us to the nearest hospital. The views down the very steep and narrow military road (following the ridgeline to start--wow!) were gorgeous, and I was acutely aware of how lucky I was not to be further endangering myself by having to do the (scary) trail descent due to his kindness (other officers on duty I'm sure would not have necessarily gone out of their way to help, and have of course, no duty to!). He had to unlock & open/close numerous gates during the descent, which surely must be tedious (like the difficulty of the drive itself) over the several years he's been working there (but he said, "It is what it is..."). What I lucky hiker I was----I'm recovering with 10 stitches and the rest of my week in Oahu will be reduced to totally non-adventurous activities, but sh*t happens and I'm very grateful it all wasn't worse. [If anybody is curious, the taxi to the hospital in Wahiawa was $35, and then another from the hospital to the trailhead where our rental car (not broken into! yay!) was another $120.] Preview Post Reply toby landry 6 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Do you have some coordinates i can put in google maps for exactly where you parked?

I live in Makaha and will probably do the climb again soon with my buddy who's stationed at MCBH. Definitely going to take gloves and possibly more rope. I have to reach that summit. Preview Post Reply uncle p 8 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Just did this hike the other day but stopped at the second rock exposure because I didn't want my sister to do it, and felt bad leaving her. I have to say I'm impressed you did that by yourself, that exposure is super sketchy. Any advice on how you approached it? Preview Post Reply Derek Loranger 8 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Thanks for reading, Uncle P. How did I get up it? Sheer will power! I had summit fever and, wearing gloves, just climbed up with one hand on the rope. I actually slipped on the rappel the way down and dangled over the side a bit. I am thinking about repeating the climb pretty soon. Preview Post Reply Bill Melayter 8 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Thanks for the great descriptions and pictures. I have been up the Leeward/West trail many times and the Windward/East (Dupont) Trail twice. The Dupont trail starts behind Waialua HS on Plantation Rd and either requires permission or an early start to cross some private property (a horse corral) at the bottom. No permission required for the Leeward side. Some updates that people may find useful:Parking - 21.475467,-158.152176 Water Tank 1 - 21.478699,-158.153847 About 400 meters from parking Water Tank 2 - 21.49023,-158.157549 About 1700 meters form parking The trail is marked with orange Gatorade type bottle caps where it might otherwise get confusing. Some of the old ropes have been replaced or backed up with newer ropes. There is a spigot that pokes thru the fence surrounding the water tanks for filling up bottles or bladders. We have drank the water from both water tanks with no ill effects (so far). Just make sure you turn the water off when done. About 1/2 way up at the power line tower the DLNR has started to install a pig fence.

The moss is not natural to the Hawaii ecosystem. Preview Post Reply Matt 9 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes So I am looking at hiking this later this weekend.

Preview Post Reply admin 9 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes It took me just under 6 hours, but I hiked pretty steadily and had no one to chat with. I also didn't really linger at the top too long, since there wasn't a view. Your mileage may vary. Have a great hike!

Preview Post Reply admin 10 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Jeffrey, Thanks for sharing. I think about this hike all the time. Too bad about Stairway to Heaven. I heard that the locals didn't like so many people parking in or near their neighborhood. Understandable. I hope they can find a compromise, as it really looks like an incredible hike. Preview Post Reply Jeffrey 10 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Aloha Derek, Much thanks for the description of this trail. I've lived on Oahu for about 3.5 years now, and I thought this was a "Military Only" area of the island. Now I know that I can hike it, I can't wait. Regarding the Stairway to Heaven, my first 6 months on Oahu I went with a small hiking group, and we hiked up a valley (i'm not sure which one), and hiked to the ridge top where the S.T.H. begins. The hike up was one of the most difficult hikes I've ever done (steep, mud and slush 2 feet deep, treacherous drop offs)...then descended down the S.T.H. The stairway ends in a suburban neighborhood and the only way out is to bushwhack through a creek bed. It is currently closed and illegal to hike up or down the stairway due to the steepness and difficulty of it. In addition, it is often patrolled by police and/or guards. The State of Hawaii spent millions of bucks to refurbish the stairway sometime in the last 20 years, only to decide against reopening it, most likely due to the difficulty and steepness of the stairway. I have climbed Half Dome in Yosemite, which was a piece of cake compared to the S.T.H. I could hardly walk for 3 days after the hike due to the soreness of my legs. But I must admit that is was spectacular and an experience I will never forget.

Preview Post Reply admin 10 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes I haven't done either of those hikes, but vowed to do the Stairway next time I go to Oahu, if it's legal to do so. Looked quite amazing from the highway. Preview Post Reply Rob 10 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Thanks! ill make sure to go up without dogs the first time! lol Preview Post Reply admin 10 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Hi Robert, thanks for reading! Although your dogs could probably make it up most of the trail, once you hit the ridge line, there are several things that would make me pause before hiking this way with dogs. One is the exposure. One wrong step and it’s a very long fall to the valley below on either side of the sometimes very narrow trail that follows the spine to the top. There is a particular section where you have to rock climb over a series of boulders. See the picture titled “Exposure on the Ka’ala Ridge Line Trail.” Keeping in mind that there are 1000-foot drop offs on either side of those boulders, I am not sure you could climb that while carrying a 70lb dog. Another is the sheer steepness of the trail. I had to use all fours to grip roots, branches and relied heavily upon the makeshift ropes to get to the top. And on the way down, there was a lot of rappelling. I am not sure how a dog, even trail-wizened, will handle those areas. Lastly is the Ka’ala Natural Area Reserve, which is the plateau on top that you have to cross before reaching the summit. The sign reads, “Introduction of any form of plant or animal life is prohibited.” You can interpret that any way you’d like, but I do know that this area is very sensitive and contains some pretty unique plants. I do recommend researching a trail that comes from the west, of which I know little, but I know people do that all the time. It may require permission to pass and I am not sure how dog-friendly it is. That may be your best bet. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions. Happy Hiking, Derek Preview Post Reply Rob 10 years ago Pending Awaiting Moderation · 0 Likes Hey, Me and my roomate hike all over Oahu with our 2 70 pound pups. We've hiked.

Marshall, I took the 93 North from Ko Olina, making a right on Waianae Valley Road, taking it all the way to the gate and obvious trailhead on your left.

I thought I heard a hog once in the distance on my way down, but I wasn't sure. Regarding the video, I just have my Flip Video camera in my hand as I video. That's why my aim is often off. I also sometimes zoom in without realizing it until I get home. There are a lot of tools that can make my video better, but I like having the camera in my pocket so I can quickly talk into it for notes and not worry about monopods, etc. I was considering a trekking pole with a ball mount on top, but they are pretty pricey.

He débuts in the first episode of the first season of The 100. He is portrayed by starring member Bob Morley and guest starring member Spencer Drever. History Early Life Bellamy's mother, was forced to keep her second pregnancy a secret because of the one child law on the Ark. A young Bellamy watched his mother give birth to his sister and helped to keep her quiet after the birth. After the child was born, Aurora told Bellamy to name her. He had learned about the Roman emperor, Augustus, and named his sister after the emperor's sister, Octavia. Aurora told Bellamy that Octavia was his responsibility. He told her he loves her very much and promises to keep her safe, no matter what may happen. Since Octavia was an illegal second child, she had to be kept hidden in their room, never venturing out. Bellamy would tell her stories and play with her, and tell her about the Ark. Their mother would also read them mythology, which Octavia loved. Octavia would also help Aurora, who was a seamstress on the Ark. In order to find out about the surprise inspections ahead of time, Aurora was sleeping with an Ark Guard and she was also trying to get Bellamy a position on the guard. During these inspections, Octavia was forced to hide under the floorboards and wait quietly until they were done. Bellamy told her to tell herself, "I am not afraid."

Octavia was finally exposed a year before they were sent to Earth. Bellamy had become an Ark Guard Cadet and was able to get duty during the Unity Day masquerade party. He sneaks Octavia out of their room so she could attend and promises her that he'll keep her safe and deliver her home before their mother even knows they're gone. The party is disrupted by a solar flare alert, requiring everyone to show ID. Since Octavia didn't have ID, they knew they would be caught. Bellamy tells her to go straight back to their room and hide but Octavia tells him that she doesn't know how to get back. Commander Shumway notices that Bellamy has his shock baton out and starts to question him. Bellamy begs Commander Shumway to let her go, but he refuses stating Bellamy is not a guardsman yet. Octavia tries to run but is easily captured. Octavia is imprisoned, their mother was executed and Bellamy loses his position as a Guard Cadet and demoted to janitor. Going to Earth Over the next year, Bellamy is unable to see Octavia in Lockup. He is then approached by Commander Shumway who tells him that 100 prisoners are being sent to the ground, among them his sister. He offer Bellamy the chance to go to Earth and protect Octavia but only if he shoots and kills the Chancellor. Bellamy accepts the deal and stows away on the drop ship. Bellamy reunites with his sister Octavia on the drop ship after it lands on earth. He assures her that he is there for her protection. Bellamy quickly takes charge of the Delinquents, convincing them to remove their wristbands so the people in the Ark will think they're dead and won't come down to earth to take away their freedom. He also recruits John Murphy and John Mbege as his enforcers. Throughout the episode, Bellamy pesters Wells Jaha to remove his wristband and antagonizes him since Wells is Chancellor Jaha's son. Toward the end of the episode, he has Murphy and Mbege forcibly remove Wells' wristband. Bellamy joins Clarke and Wells on their search for Jasper, who may still be alive and he leaves Atom in charge of Octavia while he's gone. As they're looking for Jasper, Bellamy tries to get Clarke to take off her wristband but Finn Collins shows up and suggests they all split up to cover more ground. While Clarke goes with Finn, Bellamy walks with Wells and talks with him about Wells' relationship with Clarke. Bellamy tells him that she doesn't even notice him with Finn around. After walking for a while, the groups reunite near where Jasper is. Clarke falls into an animal pit when she rushes toward Jasper and Bellamy grabs her hand to keep her from falling to her death. There is a moment when Bellamy briefly considers letting go but he continues to hold on. Wells, Finn, and Murphy help Bellamy pull Clarke out of the hole. At that moment, a jaguar comes upon them and Bellamy reaches for his gun, only to find out that Wells has stolen it. The jaguar is about to pounce on Bellamy when Wells shoots it dead. Finn has Murphy help him get Jasper down and tells Wells to stay with Clarke and keep an eye on Bellamy. When they return to camp, Bellamy catches Atom with Octavia and ties him up on a tree, leaving him there for the rest of the night. Bellamy orders a search for Trina and Pascal, who have been missing for a while. He is confronted by Octavia because he punished Atom for kissing her. He and a few other delinquents, including Charlotte, a little girl, go searching again for the two delinquents, as well as hunting for food. Acid Fog strikes and he manages to get Charlotte inside a cave before it reaches them, except Atom doesn't make it. While in the cave, Charlotte has a nightmare and starts to scream. Bellamy explains that she can't be afraid because fear is death and he gives her a knife, telling her to "slay her own demons" as well as telling her to repeat the phrase "Screw you. I'm not afraid" whenever she's afraid. Once the fog passes they set out in search of Atom. They find him dying; his eyes are a pale, gray color and his skin is destroyed from where the fog touched it. Atom begs Bellamy to kill him and Charlotte hands Bellamy the knife he gave to her, telling him not to be afraid. He sends everyone back to camp and tries to bring himself to kill Atom. Clarke arrives and realizes there is no hope for Atom. Bellamy watches as she takes the knife from him and humanely kills Atom. Once back at camp, he is confronted by an angry Octavia due to Atom's death. Bellamy argues with Clarke once it's discovered that Wells wasn't murdered by a Grounder but a delinquent. Clarke wants to find the real killer but Bellamy tells her it's not a good idea. She ignores him and soon everyone believe Murphy killed Wells. Murphy is almost beaten and hanged to death, with Bellamy kicking the stool out from under him at the urging of the crowd. He tells Clarke it is her fault for revealing to the Delinquents that one of them killed Wells. After Charlotte confesses to killing Wells, Murphy wants Charlotte to be punished the same way he was but Bellamy doesn't allow it and she flees the camp with Clarke and Finn. Murphy and several other Delinquents are angered at the situation and search for Charlotte. Bellamy is ahead of the enraged Delinquents and runs into Charlotte, who is trying to turn herself in after running away from Clarke and Finn. They stop at a cliff and are cornered by the others. Murphy holds Clarke hostage in exchange for Charlotte. Charlotte ends up taking her own life and jumps off the cliff, much to Bellamy's horror. Bellamy beats up Murphy but Clarke stops him from killing him. They agree to banish Murphy from the camp instead. He orders the angry Delinquents to follow him back to camp or join Murphy. Bellamy asleep in his tent with two girls when he wakes up. He looks up into the sky and sees Raven's pod falling to the surface. He heads out early in the day to find it and Octavia follows after him. They get into a fight when he reveals to her that he shot Chancellor Jaha in order to get on the drop ship with her. This makes Octavia furious and she storms off. Bellamy finds the crashed drop ship and steals its radio, tossing it into a river. When Clarke and Finn realize Bellamy is gone, they track him down, ultimately finding Raven and her crashed pod. Later, when they encounter Bellamy in the woods, they confront him about the missing radio. He tells them about his shooting of Chancellor Jaha and Raven informs him that Jaha is still alive, much to Bellamy's relief. Clarke tells him about the air shortage on the Ark and convinces him to help them find the radio. Bellamy leads a search group made up of Clarke, Finn, Raven, Jones, Connor and a few others as they look for the radio in the river. When they find it, it is deemed irreparable. Instead, Raven come up with an idea to salvage her drop ship so they can create a launcher to set off flares that might be visible from the Ark. As they're watching the rockets go off, Clarke asks Bellamy if they could wish on that kind of shooting star and he tells her he doesn't even know what to wish for. Bellamy realizes that Octavia has gone missing and forms a search party in an effort to find her. They soon see a spectacular meteor shower, which Clarke realizes is actually a funeral for 320 people from the Ark. Bellamy brushes off Raven's accusations that it is all Bellamy's fault and he quickly takes off with a group of delinquents in search of Octavia. Once they are in the Grounder's territory, they are quickly under attack. John Mbege, Diggs, and Roma are killed and Bellamy, Finn, Jasper, and Monroe are surrounded by grounders when a horn is heard in the distance. Finn, believing it to be Acid Fog, quickly sets up a tent and they take shelter under it. After a few minutes, Bellamy looks outside and finds no acid fog. They spot a Grounder running through the forest and they follow him back to his cave. Once inside they find the grounder unconscious and Octavia chained up. Bellamy quickly frees Octavia and threatens to kill the grounder but Octavia wants to spare him. While they argue, Finn notices the Grounder's horn and reaches for it. The Grounder stabs Finn and a fight ensues with the Grounder pinning Bellamy down. Octavia begs the Grounder to not kill her brother and gives Jasper the opportunity to knock the Grounder out again. Once back at camp, Octavia tries to leave again, but Bellamy stops her. They get into a heated argument, blaming each other for their troubled past. Octavia walks off and Bellamy notices that a storm is coming. With the help of Miller and Drew, Bellamy brings a captured and restrained Grounder into the drop ship. They tie him up on the third floor of the drop ship and Bellamy makes Octavia leave when she protests the treatment of him. Bellamy beats the Grounder, trying to get information about the other Grounders. He looks through the Grounder's bag they find a tin full of vials and a journal. In the journal, Bellamy sees a drawing of Octavia and is not pleased. He then sees a drawing of the drop ship and tally marks representing the number of delinquents with ten crossed out for the ten deaths that had already occurred. Clarke soon arrives, announcing that the blade Lincoln had stabbed Finn with was poisoned. Bellamy tells Clarke she doesn't have to be there while he tortures Lincoln to find the antidote, but Clarke stays. Octavia begs him to stop, telling him the Grounder had saved their lives even though Finn was dying downstairs. Bellamy brutally tortures the Grounder, whipping him with a seat-belt and putting a spike through his hand, yet the Grounder still will not speak. Raven comes into the room after Finn almost dies again and begins to electrocute the Grounder. Octavia makes her stop when she slices open her own forearm with the poisoned blade, saying that the Grounder wouldn't let her die. The Grounder finally reveals the antidote in order to save Octavia's life. Bellamy still won't let Octavia see the Grounder even though she's been waiting. He leaves Miller in charge while he goes on a supply run with Clarke to a former military facility. Inside, they find guns from before the nuclear war and collect them. Bellamy teaches Clarke how to fire a gun. Bellamy eats one of the hallucinogenic nuts as he tells Clarke he needs to get some fresh air. Once outside, he begins having visions of Chancellor Jaha and the many Ark residents who were culled because they didn't know earth was survivable. He begs Jaha for forgiveness and is beaten by him as the deceased Ark residents close in around him. Bellamy is attacked by another Delinquent, Dax, who was tasked by Commander Shumway to kill him. As Bellamy is still hallucinating, it makes it difficult for him to fight off the attack. Clarke attempts to save Bellamy but is disarmed by Dax. Bellamy stabs Dax in the neck with a bullet, killing him. Bellamy tells Clarke that he's a monster and he doesn't want to face any of it. Clarke tells him that they all need him and that it is because of him that they're still alive. Bellamy agrees to return to camp and speak with Chancellor Jaha. Once back at camp, after discovering the Grounder had escaped, he and Clarke revealed they had a way to fight back now with the guns they had found. Later, he asks Octavia if she set the Grounder free. Octavia lies and Bellamy walks away. When he and Clarke talk to Chancellor Jaha, they demand Bellamy be pardoned of his crimes like all of the delinquents. Jaha agrees to pardon Bellamy's crimes in exchange for Bellamy telling him that it was Commander Shumway who had him shoot the chancellor. The news of his pardon brings a sign of relief to his face. Bellamy is keeping watch over The Camp while the Delinquents celebrate Unity Day. He is approached by Clarke and he tells her to enjoy the celebration and she replies that he should as well. Later on, when Finn decides to form a truce with the grounders, Clarke asks Bellamy to follow behind them as backup. She says that she wants them to remain hidden and bring guns, in case it's an ambush. Bellamy recruits Raven and Jasper to accompany him. When the meeting begins, Bellamy witnesses Octavia hugging Lincoln and is not pleased to realize his sister lied to him and freed the Grounder. Soon after, Jasper spots grounders in the trees and opens fire. The grounders return fire and Bellamy shoots Anya in the arm, saving Clarke. As the grounders fire arrows at the delinquents, Bellamy witnesses Lincoln taking an arrow for Octavia before they all flee back to the camp. Bellamy goes to investigate the crash site of the Exodus drop ship with Clarke, Raven, and Finn. He notices that there seems to be no survivors and has everyone return to camp when Raven announces there's leaking rocket fuel. Later, a trip-wire is activated on the perimeter and Octavia discovers an injured Murphy and he's carried into camp by Connor and Derek. He has been severely tortured by the Grounders and managed to escape when they "forgot" to lock his cage. Clarke soon discovers that Murphy brought a contagious virus to camp and many of the delinquents are affected by it. Bellamy is especially worried about Octavia since she was the one to first find Murphy. He catches her reading Lincoln's journal and tells her that she needs to let Clarke inspect her. Clarke tells Bellamy that she'll keep Octavia quarantined but instead asks Octavia to get the cure from Lincoln. After Octavia returns and tells them there is no cure and that the Grounders are attacking at dawn, Bellamy works with Raven and Finn to come up with a plan to give the delinquents some more time against the grounders by blowing up the bridge. Bellamy becomes infected and begins coughing up blood, having to pass his job in the mission on to Jasper. Octavia takes care of him throughout the night, making the same promises to Bellamy that he made to her when she was first born. The next morning, they see the debris cloud of an explosion in the distance, confirmation that Jasper, Monty, Raven, and Finn succeeded in destroying the bridge before the Grounders were able to cross. Clarke tells Bellamy that she thinks the grounders are still coming. They mention the lack of communication from the Ark, and Bellamy concludes that they've probably ran out of air. They continue to talk until Clarke says to Bellamy that no one is coming to save them. Later, the Smokehouse catches on fire and there is a fight going on between Murphy and Del. Bellamy breaks up the fight, and is told by Octavia that all of the food was in that shed and it was Del's fault. Bellamy and Clarke decide that to survive the winter, they must go hunting. Bellamy then goes to tell Raven that he needs more bullets, only to see her packing up to go. He asks her to stay and she refuses. To try and convince her, he mentions her past achievements. She mentions that she could build radios to communicate and Bellamy agrees. Later, Bellamy goes back to Raven's tent, only to see her upset about the fact that Clarke and Finn still haven't returned. He tells her to move on and she strips off her clothes and tells him to do the same. Bellamy is reluctant and says that he's not going to talk her down. Raven says good and kisses him. After they sleep together, Raven gets up and puts her clothes back on. Bellamy asks if sleeping with him helped to which she replies it did not. Later, Bellamy, Monty, Octavia, and Raven are looking for delinquents in the forest. They find an injured Myles and bring him back to camp, giving up on finding Finn and Clarke. Bellamy radios Monty and gets no response. Bellamy is instructing the Delinquents to work on the land mines and he announces that no one will be going after Clarke, Monty, and Finn who have gone missing. When a delinquent falls asleep on watch and accidentally misfires, wasting a bullet, Bellamy freaks out and shakes him. Octavia tells him he's scaring people and he gives a speech to the delinquents on why they should be scared. In the drop ship, Bellamy tells Jasper that he's doing what's best for the group by not going after Monty, Clarke, and Finn. He then goes to get Myles water. Later, when Murphy begins to threaten Jasper, Bellamy overhears on the radio and runs to the closed doors of the drop ship. Bellamy uses a walkie-talkie to talk with Murphy inside the drop ship while Raven crawls underneath to find a way to open the drop ship door. After Octavia criticizes him for not doing anything, he decides to take Jasper's place in the ship. Before getting in the ship, he tells the delinquents to keep working. In the ship, Murphy fires a few shots into the floor when he hears Raven below. He tells Bellamy to tie a noose and Bellamy apologizes for before, for kicking the crate out from under Murphy. Murphy says he wants Bellamy to feel what he felt and he makes Bellamy put the noose around his neck and tightens it. He then kicks the crate out from under Bellamy. Raven gets the drop ship door open just in time and Octavia is able to save Bellamy. Bellamy decides not to go after Murphy but does announce that they will be going after Monty, Clarke, and Finn. Jasper then hugs him before they hear movement outside. Clarke and Finn run inside and inform Bellamy of the incoming Grounder army. He refuses to move camp and says that they need to hold their ground. Clarke says the opposite, however, and convinces the camp to leave. Bellamy says this is a mistake. Bellamy discusses battle strategy with the rest of the group and suggests going to the Reapers, but Clarke shoots him down. Bellamy taunts Finn for wanting to run but Clarke makes him stop. She tells Bellamy that they can't do this without him because the delinquents are willing to die for him. He unhappily agrees to try and make it to the ocean to evade the Grounders. Before they can escape, however, the grounder scouts attack and Drew is killed. Clarke agrees with Bellamy that they now need to stay and fight. During the battle with the Grounders, Bellamy commands the troops to hold fire when he realizes the Grounders are drawing out their ammo. Soon, the delinquents outside the walls are in direct combat with the grounders and Bellamy tells them to retreat behind the walls. Bellamy is about to be killed by one before Octavia saves his life. They share a moment before he gives his blessing for her to go with Lincoln because she was shot and wounded by an arrow. Bellamy rushes back to get inside the walls of the camp and sees Tristan killing delinquents. He fights a losing battle with Tristan before Finn joins in. Clarke has to leave both Finn and Bellamy outside the drop ship in order to save the rest of the delinquents' lives. Bellamy is running through the woods with a spear and catches up to Sterling and Monroe. The three come up with a plan to free Finn from his hostage situation (he was taken as a prisoner by Tristan ). Monroe and Sterling hesitate and Bellamy ends up being taken prisoner, as well. Monroe tells Sterling that they are warriors and they try to attack Tristan. Tristan is about to kill them when he is shot from behind and killed by Kane. The Delinquents lead a group of Sky People back to The Camp and they discover almost everyone is gone. The only two people who remain are a gravely injured Raven and Murphy. Bellamy tries killing Murphy by almost beating him to death but is quickly arrested by Kane who tells him they're not animals and are no longer in control. Marcus Kane interrogates Bellamy about the Grounders. Murphy is also brought in and is chained up with Bellamy. Kane leaves when they hear gunshots outside. Bellamy and Murphy then hear Raven's screams from her surgery. Murphy mentions how he had been tortured for three days by the Grounders before he gave up information on the Delinquents and he doubts Bellamy would have done much better. Later, Finn frees Bellamy and tells him they're going after the missing Delinquents. Bellamy then goes to free Murphy because Murphy knows where the Grounder prison camp is and that's where their friends might be. Bellamy, Murphy, Finn, Monroe, and Sterling sneak out of Camp Jaha. Outside the camp, they run into Abby and David Miller who give them weapons and tell them to find their children and bring them home. Bellamy, Finn, Sterling, Monroe, and Murphy try to locate the rest of the Delinquents. Murphy leads them to where he was kept prisoner by the Grounders. At a distance, they look through their rifle scopes for the missing delinquents but don't spot them. Finn notices one of the Grounders, Delano, is wearing Clarke's watch around his neck. Bellamy notes that Clarke would not give the watch up without a fight as it was her father's. They come up with a plan to lure the Grounder out and capture him for information. Murphy is given two rocks to bang together to attract the attention of the Grounder with Clarke's watch. It works and as Delano approaches, Bellamy hits him over the head and knocks him unconscious. They take Delano to Finn's Bunker so they can question him. Bellamy is trying to keep them from torturing the Grounder since he learned long ago with Lincoln that it doesn't work. Finn gets worked up that Delano won't tell them where the rest of the Delinquents are and pulls a gun on Delano, threatening to kill him. Bellamy tries to calm Finn down and Finn points the gun at Bellamy, telling him to back off. As Finn cocks the gun, Delano confesses and says that their friends are East of there and he'll draw them a map. Monroe gets him some paper to draw the map. Once Delano has drawn the map, Bellamy and Murphy discuss what to do with him. Murphy wants to kill him but Bellamy says that since Delano is unarmed, it would be an execution. Finn kills Delano anyway. Bellamy, Murphy, Finn, Monroe, and Sterling are following Delano's map to get the missing Delinquents back from the Grounders. They come across the massive debris field of the Factory Station that crashed into the side of a cliff and it doesn't appear there are any survivors. As they're about to leave, they hear a lone survivor, Mel, calling for help from down below. Sterling recognizes her and decides to go after her while Bellamy and Finn argue about whether or not to leave her. As Sterling is trying to rescue Mel from the side of the cliff, none of the others are doing much to help him. The rope comes undone and Sterling plunges to his death, shocking Monroe and Murphy. Finn wants to leave Mel behind but Monroe protests and Bellamy refuses to leave Mel. They find some materials to make a new rope and Bellamy climbs down to get Mel. As they're trying to pull Bellamy and Mel back up, they suddenly come under attack by Grounders. The rope breaks with Murphy being the only thing stopping them from falling to their deaths like Sterling. Monroe starts shooting at the Grounders and is hit in the leg with an arrow. Finn and Murphy continue struggling as they try to pull Bellamy and Mel up. File:Bell oct3 2x4.png Bellamy, Octavia, and Monroe A foghorn is heard, warning of an Acid Fog attack, and the Grounders flee. When Bellamy is pulled up, he realizes that Murphy had saved their lives. As they're about to take cover from the incoming Acid Fog, Octavia appears and they realize she had blown Lincoln's horn that saved their lives. Bellamy helps Mel tie up her injured arm while Octavia bandages Monroe's wounded leg. Murphy asks her about Lincoln and she tells them he is gone. Because of Monroe's and Mel's injuries, they need to get them back to Camp Jaha. Bellamy allows Finn and Murphy to continue the search for the missing Delinquents and gives them two guns for protection before they part ways. Bellamy, Octavia, Monroe, and Mel return to Camp Jaha and Clarke runs to greet them, giving Bellamy and Octavia hugs. File:Human Trials Promo Image Clarke Bellamy Octavia.jpg Bellamy and Clarke reunite Bellamy tells her Finn is still out looking for her. Later, after Abby refuses to allow anyone to get Murphy and Finn, Bellamy and Clarke meet Raven at a section of the gate surrounding Camp Jaha. Octavia arrives and they gear up. Raven then has Wick shut down the electricity to that area of the fence and Bellamy, Octavia, and Clarke head out into the woods. Later that night, Bellamy keeps watch in the woods while Clarke and Octavia sleep. Clarke wakes up and they discuss her closing the drop ship door with him telling her that it had to be done. He then tells her how Finn hasn't been the same since Clarke disappeared and he let Finn go with Murphy and two guns. Clarke tells him she was sure it had to be done, too. They discuss getting the Delinquents out of Mount Weather and Octavia wakes up and makes them include Lincoln in their mission. Octavia then leads Bellamy and Clarke to the Abraham Lincoln statue near Lincoln's village. She breaks down and begins to cry as she tells Bellamy about how the Reapers took Lincoln and she couldn't save him. They soon hear gunshots and start running toward the village. When they finally approach, they find Finn gunning down dozens of Grounders. Bellamy and the others are shocked by this act. Two days after the massacre at Lincoln's village, Clarke and Bellamy are sitting outside in the bar area of Camp Jaha. They are reviewing Clarke's map of the tunnels through Mount Weather and are discussing an action plan to get the Delinquents out. Finn and Murphy approach and Clarke admits she hasn't talked to Finn since they got back. Bellamy leaves to get drinks. Later, Bellamy and Octavia go along on the mission to take out Mount Weather's radio tower. They sneak off from the group in order to search on their own for Lincoln. Their absence is soon noticed and some Ark guards are sent after them. Acid Fog descends upon everyone and Octavia follows the fleeing critters to a sealed door. File:Oct bell 12 2x06.png Bellamy and Octavia hide from a Reaper Lincoln They get the door open and make it into a long-forgotten parking garage, rescuing two of the three the Ark guards who had followed them (one was swallowed up by the fog). They split up from the guards with Sgt. Scott giving Bellamy a gun. They soon hear the guards screaming and run to them only to see Reapers devouring them. Bellamy kills the two Reapers and then they spot another one kneeling over Sgt. Scott. Octavia recognizes it's Lincoln and calls out to him. He turns and starts to attack her and she shoots him in the leg. She and Bellamy escape and plan a way to lure Lincoln back out so they can capture him. Octavia acts as bait and Bellamy uses the Ark guard's stun stick to knock Lincoln out. He tells Octavia that they will take Lincoln home. Bellamy brings Clarke to the drop ship and asks her to help with Lincoln who is once again chained to the walls after having been turned into a Reaper. Clarke inspects Lincoln and discovers needle marks on his neck. Lincoln manages to break free and begins attacking everyone until Octavia is able to knock him out again. They get him chained back up and Octavia tries to give him some water but Lincoln thrashes at her, upsetting her. She leaves the drop ship to get some more water and brings Nyko back with her. Nyko tells them that death is the only way to reverse the Reaper state just as Finn appears to warn them that everyone in Camp Jaha is about to leave. When Nyko sees Finn, he attacks him and strangles him for slaughtering his village. Bellamy lifts up his gun but Octavia blocks his way and won't let him shoot Nyko. Clarke uses an Ark Guard's stun stick to knock Nyko off Finn just as Octavia realizes that Lincoln has stopped breathing. Nyko watches in awe as Clarke gives Lincoln chest compressions and gets him breathing again. Clarke realizes she can use the Reapers to her advantage to stop the Grounder attack and leaves for Camp Jaha to get her mom. Abby arrives at the drop ship and gives Lincoln a shot to bring down his fever when he starts convulsing again. He stops breathing and Abby begins chest compressions. Abby finally gives up and says that Lincoln is gone. Octavia refuses to believe her and continues chest compressions while Bellamy tries to comfort her. Clarke with Lexa and several other Grounders enter at that moment and they are at a standstill with everyone going for their weapons. Abby picks up the shock baton and holds it in front of her before using it as a defibrillator on Lincoln, shocking him twice before he starts breathing again, much to the Grounders' surprise and the Sky Peoples' relief. At Camp Jaha, security has been increased and even Murphy has received a gun. Bellamy and Clarke approach and Finn offers to help with the perimeter security but Bellamy takes him inside. Later, Bellamy and Raven confront Abby, asking her what they're planning to do with Finn and she tells them they're all trying to find a way out of the situation. Bellamy takes that to mean they're giving Finn up. Bellamy finds Finn and tells him they need to leave because the rest of the Sky People are getting restless. They're approached by some Sky People and Bellamy knocks one of them down so Clarke and Finn can escape. Bellamy, Raven, and Murphy (by Raven's invitation) arrive at the drop ship first. Finn arrives at the drop ship, carrying an unconscious Clarke. Bellamy and Murphy take care of Clarke while Raven tries to comfort Finn. Clarke wakes up and Finn tells her he thought she was dead because of him. Clarke tells him he is not defined by the things he's done. Bellamy shouts a warning to them that the Grounders have arrived and they're surrounded. Raven wants to give up Murphy instead of Finn because Murphy was also at the village. Finn steps between Raven and Murphy and tells them they need to stay and defend the drop ship. He instructs Murphy to go upstairs and watch the back while he takes the lower level of the drop shop and Bellamy, Raven, and Clarke will take the front gate. Finn and Raven hug goodbye and Finn tells her, "May we meet again." He then climbs out the bottom of the drop ship. Clarke, Raven, and Bellamy are watching the front gate when they say Finn step out in front of them and surrender himself to the Grounders. Back at Camp Jaha, Clarke, Raven, Bellamy, and the rest of the Sky People watch as the Grounders start setting up for Finn's execution. Abby says there is nothing to be done. Clarke, Raven, and Bellamy then meet up at Raven's Gate where Raven gives Clarke a knife so Clarke can kill Lexa because Raven owes Finn her life. Bellamy watches with Raven from Camp Jaha as Clarke walks over to Finn and hugs him, telling him she loves him and that he will be okay before stepping away to reveal that she had killed him with the knife Raven gave her. Lexa tells her warriors that it is done and keeps them from attacking. Raven screams and crumples in hysterical grief while Bellamy catches her and holds onto her. On the walk from Camp Jaha to Tondc, Bellamy asks Clarke if she's doing all right and tells her she did the right thing with Finn. Bellamy then tells her they're wasting time and what they really need is an inside man in Mount Weather. Clarke tells him she doesn't want him to go because she can't lose him, too. While camping for the night, Clarke places her bedroll on the side of the Grounders. Bellamy tells her it's safer on their side but Clarke says they need to trust the Grounders. Bellamy places his stuff down on the Grounder side as well. They arrive at Tondc and everyone has to disarm before entering and Bellamy gives up his gun. Later, after the funeral, Bellamy joins everyone for a banquet celebrating the alliance. Marcus Kane brings forward some liquor to share. Clarke and Lexa both take a goblet but Gustus stops Lexa and takes a sip first before giving it back to her. As they toast and are about to take a sip, Gustus falls over having been poisoned. Bellamy knocks the goblet out of Clarke's hands before she can drink from it and all of the Sky People are searched with the Grounders finding the poison on Raven. Lexa commands for all of the Sky People to be locked up. Kane goes over to talk to Clarke and tells her that they need to figure out who would want Lexa dead. They come to the conclusion that the poisoner had to be someone who was trying to break the alliance. Nyko and Indra take Raven away for her execution. Indra tells them the rest of them are free and they should run. Clarke eventually realizes the poison wasn't in the bottle; it was in the cup. She runs outside and asks Nyko for the bottle and drinks from it, showing it wasn't poisoned. Bellamy realizes that it was Gustus who poisoned the cup because he was trying to protect Lexa from the alliance. Lexa commands him to be tied up in Raven's place. That night, Raven gets the radio signal from Mount Weather and hears Jasper's message. Clarke tells Bellamy he was right and that they need an inside man. She tells him she was being weak and it's worth the risk for him to go. Lincoln tells Bellamy he'll take him through the Reaper tunnels but Octavia needs to stay behind and make sure the alliance doesn't fail because she has knowledge of both worlds. Infiltrating Mt. Weather Bellamy and Lincoln are disguised as Reapers as they head toward the Mount Weather mines. Lincoln spears an animal and cuts it open. He smears blood on his face along with limestone to enhance his Reaper disguise. Lincoln tells Bellamy about the intake process and how each person is tagged for either Cerberus Project (like Lincoln) or for Harvest. Bellamy mentions that his mom read mythology to him and Octavia all the time and that Octavia loved it, causing Lincoln to smile. Bellamy asks why he protected Octavia before he knew her. Lincoln then tells Bellamy how when he was a boy, a Sky Person dropped from The Ark and onto Earth. For three days, Lincoln tended to the man, eventually telling his father. His father made Lincoln kill the man and the world has been trying to turn him into a monster for as long as he can remember. Later, Lincoln tells Bellamy that he remembers everything from when he was on the Reaper Red drug. When they reach the entrance to the Reaper mines, Lincoln appears hesitant, but goes on anyway. As Lincoln and Bellamy make their way through the Reaper tunnels, Lincoln finds himself struggling with his addiction to the Reaper drug. The two discuss the plan to infiltrate and Lincoln again says he doesn't think he can do it. He tries to back out of the plan but they're interrupted by another Reaper Raiding Party and Lincoln has to pretend that Bellamy is his captive to keep their ploy from being discovered. Once they reach the underground entrance to Mount Weather, Bellamy and the other captured grounders are marked for harvesting. Lincoln is unable to resist the Red drug and allows Bellamy to be harvested by the Mountain Men. Bellamy has been harvested by Mount Weather and is chained up and forced through the decontamination process where he is blasted with boiling water, doused with decontamination powder, inspected, given shots, and painfully scrubbed down. He later wakes up locked in a cage in the Harvest Chamber. He tries to get out when the Grounder in the cage next to him ( Echo) tells him in Trigedasleng to be quiet because the Mountain Men take the strongest. Bellamy tells her he can't understand her and she spits on him when she realizes he's a Sky Person. He tells her they're not enemies any more and he needs to get out of the cage so he can kill everyone in the mountain. Sgt. Lovejoy and another Mountain Man enter the Harvest Chamber looking for their next victim. They start to unlock Echo's cave but Bellamy starts kicking at his cage to get their attention. They pick him instead, shocking him with a stun stick and injecting him with a sedative. He is then strung upside-down and his blood is circulated out. Maya Vie enters the Harvest Chamber looking for Monty and Harper. Instead, she finds Bellamy hanging upside-down. She injects him with epinephrine to wake him up and asks him if he's from the Ark and knows Jasper. Bellamy realizes it's Maya who is helping him and asks for her to get him down. She starts pulling off the electrodes just as Lovejoy walks in and asks what she's doing in there. Maya lies and says she wanted to know what was so special about Bellamy but he's dead. Lovejoy checks the heart monitor without realizing Maya had already detached the wires from Bellamy and starts to get Bellamy down. Once Bellamy's feet are free, Bellamy kicks Lovejoy and Lovejoy holds a gun on him. Maya stabs Lovejoy in the neck with a scalpel and Bellamy and Lovejoy begin fighting. Maya picks up a gun and tells Lovejoy to stop but Bellamy warns her not to use it because everyone else will hear the gunshot. Lovejoy is gaining the upper hand when Echo reaches out of her cage and grabs hold of his arm to prevent him from stabbing Bellamy with the scalpel that was in his neck. Bellamy then strangles Lovejoy, killing him. He thanks Echo for her help and asks Maya if she is all right. At first, Maya seems traumatized but then she resolves herself and tells Bellamy she is fine and helps Bellamy get Lovejoy undressed. Bellamy then re-enters from the "End Containment Area" wearing Lovejoy's guard uniform. He pushes the button to send Lovejoy's body down into the Reaper tunnels. Bellamy tells Maya she has done enough and should walk away. Maya tells him she's in and hands Bellamy Lovejoy's gun and badge. She tells him she can take him to the radio and that Monty and Harper have already gone missing. Maya tells him that everyone knows everyone else as she removes Lovejoy's name-tag and gives Bellamy a hat. As she cuts out Bellamy's tracking device, she asks him how he knew her name. Bellamy tells her that Clarke told him that Jasper "couldn't stop talking about someone named Maya." She tell him to put the tracking device in his cage. As he does so, he promises Echo that he will be back. Maya leads Bellamy through Mount Weather to an elevator, pointing out cameras and telling him how to get around. As they get on the elevator, another resident gets on with them and chats with Maya. The elevator stops and two more people get on. The elevator stops again and Maya gestures for Bellamy to exit behind the other two people. The man on the elevator notices that there is blood on Bellamy's collar. Maya claims he must have been exposed and steals the man's handkerchief to hold against Bellamy's face as she kicks the other man out of the elevator to do her job of tracing down the alleged radiation leak. They continue to head toward to the dorm when they come across a group of Mount Weather preschoolers. One of them walks up to Bellamy and asks him if he's on a ground unit because his father is training to be on a ground unit. As the boy leaves, his backpack reveals the last name, "Lovejoy." Bellamy finally realizes that the mountain is not just full of Mountain Men but also civilians. Meanwhile, Monty and Jasper are ordering the Delinquents to pack their things because they're no longer safe in Mount Weather. Just as Bellamy and Maya approach the dorm, an alarm is heard and the doors to the dorm close, sealing the Delinquents in. Jasper sees Bellamy and Maya on the other side of the door as Bellamy tells Maya to get him to the radio. Bellamy gets through on the radio to Clarke and he tells her that the Delinquents have been locked up and that things are going to get ugly. He says that they need a plan that doesn't kill everyone because there are kids in there. Clarke tells Bellamy that he needs to turn off the Acid Fog and free the imprisoned Grounders. Bellamy asks Clarke to buy him some time so they won't discover him inside the mountain just yet. Bellamy is in Mount Weather and calls in over the radio to Camp Jaha to tell Clarke about how the Delinquents are being taken away one at a time. Clarke tells Bellamy to find the missing Delinquents. Bellamy then crawls through the air vents as he tries to find the missing Delinquents. He hears the sound of drilling and heads down a duct toward the noise and witnesses Dr. Tsing drilling into a now-dead Delinquent and extracting bone marrow to give to Carl Emerson. Cage Wallace asks Emerson about Clarke and Emerson gives him the message that they're supposed to release the Delinquents. Cage then tells Emerson that it doesn't matter because tonight, he's going to drop a missile on Tondc where all of their leaders are meeting. Bellamy asks Clarke if she heard everything through his earpiece and she tells Raven she's leaving for Tondc. Bellamy asks after Octavia and Clarke lies that she's not there any more. When Dr. Tsing returns to the dorm to pick another Delinquent, Bellamy pretends to be a guard and grabs Jasper when the Delinquents try to fight back. He hands Jasper a gun and tells him they need to fight back harder next time. Bellamy then goes as a guard to Dante's prison cell in the quarantine area and brings him his meal. Dante turns up the music and asks who he is. Bellamy tells him they need his help because Cage is killing the Delinquents. Dante tries to find out who is helping Bellamy but Bellamy won't tell him. Dante tells him that Cage has probably changed all access codes and he can't help them escape but he can buy them some time. Bellamy crawls around in the air vents again while he talks with Raven over the radio. Raven accidentally mentions Octavia is in Tondc and Bellamy is bothered that Clarke would lie to him. Raven tells him to focus. Later, Bellamy is in a room, pulling at wires and asking Raven how he'll know it's working when suddenly alarms blare "Containment breach," letting him he successfully irradiated Level 5 and saved the Delinquents from Dr. Tsing and the guards. In Mount Weather, Fox has been taken captive by the Mountain Men. They drag Fox into the Marrow Room and as they try to get her on the table, she breaks free and runs for the door. Another guard steps in front of her with a gun in her face. He turns and shoots the two guards dead, revealing himself to be Bellamy. Fox cries in happiness and hugs him as Maya Vie walks in and tells him they need to get Fox someplace safe. She takes them to her home where her father, Vincent Vie is sleeping on the couch. He tells Maya what she is doing is dangerous and Maya tells him that it's what her mother would have done. Her parents were part of a movement that refused the blood treatments. Her mom refused the treatment and died for her beliefs. Vincent agrees to let them stay for one night and Bellamy thanks him. Vincent warns Bellamy that the Mountain Me will never stop. Later, Maya is leading Bellamy through Mount Weather. She tells him to get the guns and she'll worry about getting them to the Mess Hall on level 5. Bellamy tells Maya that she's a "natural-born revolutionary," and she replies she's just trying to do what's right. Bellamy takes off to get the guns. After Maya is released by Cage Wallace with 20 minutes of oxygen to force the Delinquents to surrender, she tells them that Bellamy is going to try getting in through the Mess Hall trash chute. Monty works frantically on getting the trash chute open because Maya is down to her last minute of air. Miller helps him pull on the trash cute as they hear Bellamy come banging through. He tells them to give him Maya and takes her down the chute with him. Jasper follows after and they get her mask off in time. The door at the end of the chute opens and her dad appears. Bellamy and Jasper hug as Bellamy tells him that Clarke is coming with an army full of Grounders. Jasper asks if that means Finn finally got his peace talks and Bellamy replies, "something like that." Bellamy then leads all of the Delinquents through Mount Weather. He tells them they need to split up. Monty is against the idea and Miller asks who would help them. Bellamy takes them around a corner to reveal Maya and Vincent with a group of Mount Weather Resisters who are willing to help the Delinquents. Bellamy tells them to "stay alive. Be ready to fight because war is coming." Bellamy discovers his Mount Weather access card has stopped working. Raven asks over the radio if he's found the Acid Fog room yet and he tells her he'll call her back once he finds another way in. Two Mountain Men stop Bellamy and report back that they've found the target who is not Lovejoy. Bellamy takes off running and they chase him through the Mountain. Bellamy ducks around a corner and waits for one of the Mountain Men (Garza) to come around the corner before he knocks him out and steals his key card. Later, Bellamy has successfully made his way back to Vincent Vie when a Mount Weather Guard, Lee, appears. Bellamy pulls a gun on him but Vincent tells him it's all right. Lee tells Bellamy that some of the guards don't agree with Cage either. Bellamy then asks after the Delinquents and Vincent tells him they've been moved to already-searched areas because Cage has gone public with what happened on Level 5. Bellamy asks for help getting to the Acid Fog room and Vincent shows him designs of the retrofit ares in Mount Weather, what they have been using to move the Delinquents in secret. Vincent gives him an acetylene torch and shows him the route to take. Bellamy then uses the acetylene torch to cut his way into the Acid Fog room through an air vent. He grabs an emergency fire axe and uses it to bust the door lock to the Acid Fog room and jam the doors from being easily opened. He then calls into Raven and begins to describe the Acid Fog room. Wick tells Bellamy to go to the monitor and asks after Monty. Bellamy starts reading off what he sees on the monitor and asks if he can just blow it up. Wick tells him that would let Mount Weather know their defenses are down while Raven tells him he would probably melt his face off. Bellamy starts reading them all of the menu options. When he gets to "Maintenance and Cleaning," Raven and Wick up with the idea to use the Passivation process to neutralize the acid. Bellamy selects it and the machine whirs to life. He watches as the PH rises from 0 (acidic) and climbs to 7 (neutral) before a message flashes that the passivation was successful. Raven and Wick accidentally hug in celebration and Bellamy tells them to send a flare, letting Clarke and Lexa know the Acid Fog has been disabled. As Bellamy is about to leave the Acid Fog room, he notices an old manual dial tucked far back on the side of one of the huge barrels of acid. He cleans off the dial and realizes that the PH is still set to 0. The computer was wrong and the acid is not neutralized. He calls Raven on the radio, however, Cage and Emerson had intercepted the signal when they first discovered Bellamy and allowed him to think he had disabled the Acid Fog machine before cutting his communication with Raven. Cage tells them to reset the Acid Fog panel as they wait for the Grounder army to get into range. He then tells Emerson to bring him the intruder. Bellamy hears the Mount Weather Guards banging on the door to the Acid Fog room as they try to get in and he takes off running back toward the air duct he originally climbed through. He hides behind one of the flammable oxygen tanks and then makes a run for the air duct as the Mount Weather guards shoot at him. Once he's in the air duct, he shoots behind himself at the guards until he runs out of bullets. He scurries through the air duct as Emerson begins a countdown on the Acid Fog deployment. One of the guards goes after Bellamy in the air ducts while another guard checks the tanks in the Acid Fog room. When Emerson counts down to One, Cage says, "we're go for Veil." The Acid Fog machine starts to fire up just as one of the guards spots the lit acetylene torch next to the flammable oxygen tank. A massive explosion takes place, blowing out everyone and everything in the Acid Fog room and traveling through the air ducts. It takes out the guard that had followed Bellamy and the force of the explosion reaches Bellamy just as he gets to a ventilation shaft, pushing him out before the fire reaches him. Bellamy smiles with relief that he's still alive. Bellamy makes his way into the Harvest Chamber in Mount Weather. He keeps his promise to Echo and frees her from her cage. They start to free the other Grounders and Bellamy tells Echo to help him get them ready to fight. The Grounders start to get excited and Echo tells them to be quiet. Bellamy starts to tell her the plan when Cage Wallace comes over the PA, announcing to all of Mount Weather that they can all return to the ground. He tells them that before the Delinquents murdered her, Dr. Tsing had found a cure in their bone marrow. Bellamy tells Echo he has to go save the Delinquents and that he's going to bring them back to the Harvest Chamber. Echo thanks him for his help. Cage continues talking over the PA, asking for the residents of Mount Weather to turn over the "44 murderers" and if they don't, they will be considered enemies. Tilling and another guard have captured Fox, Miller, Jasper, and Maya. They are stopped by Vincent Vie who begs Tilling to let his daughter go. Tilling tells Vincent to step aside and raises his gun at him. As Tilling steps closer to take the shot, he is suddenly shot in the head from the right side. Tilling falls as Vincent runs over to the air vent and pries it open, revealing Bellamy, while Miller takes down the other guard and bashes his head against the wall. Bellamy tells them to go with Vincent to the Harvest Chamber where they'll be safe. Jasper and Maya decide to go with Bellamy to rescue Monty and the other Delinquents. Maya gives a hug to her father in goodbye. Later, Bellamy, Jasper, and Maya look for the last 12 Delinquents. They hear a gunshot and rush toward it, waiting until the Guards are gone. They find Mrs. Ryan, the woman who was hiding the last twelve delinquents, dead. Jasper wants to go to Level 5 but Bellamy doesn't think that's a good idea. Monty comes out and tells them he hid and had to let them kill Mrs. Ryan because he overheard that the Mountain Men know about Echo's Grounder army and are going for the Harvest Chamber. Bellamy, Maya, Jasper, and Monty then head to the Harvest Chamber. Maya discovers her dad, shot dead in the middle of the floor while Bellamy discovers every single one of the cages empty. Down in the mines underneath Mount Weather, Bellamy opens the intake door to let in Clarke and Octavia. He's brought Monty, Jasper, and Maya with him and everybody hugs. Clarke asks Bellamy if he has a plan and he tells her no, but they can speak to Dante Wallace. They split up with Bellamy, Clarke, and Monty going after Dante and Octavia going with Jasper and Maya to get her to Level 5 before she runs out of oxygen. In Dante's room in Mount Weather Quarantine, Dante tells them that there is no one in the Command Center watching because everyone is trapped on Level 5. Clarke explains how they did everything they could to keep the Mountain Men safe and he needs to help them. Dante refuses to help but they take him with them anyway to the Command Center where Monty breaks them in. Dante tells Clarke that he's not with his people because it's his responsibility to "bear it so they don't have to." Bellamy realizes that it was Dante who set up the alliance with Lexa. Once in the Command Center, Bellamy sees Raven strapped to the table in the dorm room while Clarke spots Emerson in the Mess Hall. She calls him over the radio and tells him to give the radio to Cage Wallace. Clarke tells Cage she has his father and tells him she'll kill Dante if he doesn't let her people go. Dante tells Cage to "stay the course" and Clarke raises up her gun and aims it at Dante. Cage tells his dad he'll take care of their people and Clarke shoots Dante dead. Clarke then tells Cage she will not stop until her people are free and will irradiate Level 5 if he doesn't let them go. Cage orders Emerson to go to the Command Center and kill them. Bellamy asks Monty to deactivate Emerson's key card as they watch Cage head toward the dorm. Clarke tells Monty to get it set up so they can irradiate Level 5 if they have to. Bellamy warns Clarke there is no going back if they do this. Bellamy then sees Octavia and Maya have been discovered by Mount Weather guards. He watches as Octavia takes out two Mount Weather guards just as Emerson arrives outside the Command Center. Bellamy then sees Octavia and Maya are surrounded by Mount Weather Guards in the Mess Hall. As Clarke reaches for the lever to irradiate Mount Weather, Bellamy places his hand on top of hers and says, "together," and they pull the lever. The Mount Weather residents begin to succumb to the radiation. Outside the Command Center, Emerson realizes what they have done and takes off running. Bellamy, Clarke, and Monty then walk through the Mess Hall and among all of the deceased residents of Mount Weather. Jasper is cradling a dead Maya and asks them what they did. The next day, the Sky People return to Camp Jaha. Bellamy watches at the gate as Monty gives Clarke a hug before entering Camp Jaha. Clarke tells Bellamy to have a drink for her and Bellamy realizes she's leaving. He tells her, "if you need forgiveness, I'll give you that. You're forgiven." She tells him, "I bear it so they don't have to," before hugging him and kissing him on the cheek in goodbye, telling him, "may we meet again." As Bellamy turns back to Camp Jaha, he replies, "may we meet again."

If you work on your own, then you have the flexibility and responsibility of creating your own contract. If you work for an agency, partnership or group, you likely are using a contract provided by these entities. If that is the case, I strongly recommend that you agree with what you read in these contracts. Prior to joining a group/agency/partnership make sure that you thoroughly read, understand and agree to the contract before you join. {more about working with an agency } Not knowing where your contract came from Do you know where your contract came from? If you answered “No” or “Maybe” then you are not alone. Many doulas are not sure where their doula contract originated. I have heard of doulas finding their contracts “off the internet”, from “another doula” and from “my training”. Even more doulas have taken pieces from different sources and created a custom contract themselves. The fact that you don’t know where your contract came from and/or built your own isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It could be the perfect contract for you, but at the least I suggest that you give it a critical read through and making sure that it is right for your business. Using a contract from a source which is unknown could result in a feeling of unease about your contract and the possibility of leaving you without appropriate coverage. Not knowing what is on your contract What does your contract say about scheduled csections? How does your contract handle precipitous birth? What is the schedule for payments? In what cases (if any) will a refund be given? All of the above questions should be clearly spelled out in your contract AND you should know what they mean. If it none of these situations have happened to you yet, it is only a matter of time before you will run into all of them. And if not the actual situation, you will have clients who ask questions like these during interviews. Make sure you can point out where each of these questions are answered on your contract. Adding to much Include something in your contract and you are legally bound to it. For this reason, it is important to carefully consider everything that is included. It is also important not to get too specific with what is included. When you can, it is wise to use more flexible wording. You should specify the services you provide, but be flexible enough to not lock you into something that might be hard to implement. Example Service: 2 postpartum visits, which are usually done within the first month Flexible wording “I provide 2 postpartum visits.” Inflexible working “I provide 2 postpartum visits. The first takes place in the week after you return home after the birth. The second takes place within the first month after the birth.” Example Service: 2 prenatal visits, which are usually done before 36 weeks of pregnancy Flexible wording “I provide 2 prenatal visits.” Inflexible wording “I provide 2 prenatal visits. The first visit takes place in the 2 nd trimester of pregnancy and the second visit takes place prior to 36 weeks of pregnancy” In both of these examples, using the flexible wording has not impact on the services which you provide and leaves you with more option should your schedule change. If you are sick and you can’t do the second postpartum visit, for example, within the first month you are not contractually bound to do so. Not using your contract Time and again I have spoken to doulas who have a great contract and yet they don’t use it. The reasons for not using a contract are varied. It might be that they feel like they trust their clients and feel like they don’t need the protection. Perhaps they forget because it hasn’t become part of their business routine yet. Maybe they don’t know what is in their contract because they don’t know where it came from (see reasons 1 and 2 above). I know one reason that I have heard from not using a contract is because they don’t want to seem “uncaring” or “harsh”. I think we can tackle this feeling by remembering that using a contract for your services is not just a protection for you, it is a protection for your clients. Two parties sign a contract, you and your clients. That means that you are protected against issues like last minute cancellation and late payments. The clients are protected against a doula not returning their phone calls when they are in labor. You aren’t uncaring by providing a means of protection for both parties. You are a professional. BONUS TIP: Most doulas require a deposit for their services which is non-refundable. This requirement is important for doulas because there is usually a limit to the number of clients that we can serve a month. If we have clients which cancel on short notice it is very likely that we will not be able to find another client to take their place and thus missing out on important income for that month. For this reason, I suggest considering a deposit of at least half of your full fee. At this amount, it is less likely for a client to cancel your services. Clients have invested 50% into a doula and walking away at that point should be more difficult.

FIRED! #NeverTrumper, Close Friend Of Reince Preibus, White House Deputy-Chief-Of-Staff Katie Walsh OUTED As Leaker FIRED! #NeverTrumper, Close Friend Of Reince Preibus, White House Deputy-Chief-Of-Staff Katie Walsh OUTED As Leaker Many people were wondering why the White House was holding back on calling out the congressional intelligence oversight gang-of-eight regarding their political unwillingness to review the same executive intelligence previously reviewed by House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes. Find Out More > 89,448 Today, you just got the answer. White House Deputy Chief-of-Staff Katie Walsh was fired today immediately following a New York Times report which outed two National Security Council members as the source for Devin Nunes “tip” to review a specific batch of President Obama’s executive intelligence. The transparent sequence of events reveals that Walsh was the source of NYT reporter Maggie Haberman’s article; (Walsh and Haberman are “friends”). Breitbart – Walsh is a “close ally of chief of staff Reince Priebus,” having served as his chief of staff at the Republican National Committee. Trending: “What’s going on?” Another Conservative Social Media Source Goes Dark Walsh previously told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview ahead of President Trump’s exclusive interview with Breitbart News in the Oval Office that she was in charge of the president’s schedule, and coordinating the activities of Trump’s unusual circuit of senior aides like Priebus, chief strategist and former Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen K. Bannon, and Trump son-in-law and senior adviser to the president Jared Kushner. Walsh said in the exclusive interview with Breitbart News last month: Find Out More > 89,449 As you know, we’ve got a lot of senior folks in the White House who have a great ability to help push the president’s agenda and message and that’s Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, Jared Kushner, KellyAnne Conway, and others, but there is a logistical piece of that that has to get implemented and so I try and help with that. So I try and do what I can to make sure the right hand is talking to the left hand and everyone knows what everyone is doing, and there is a cohesive operation or effort to make sure, whatever we’re doing, that nothing happens in a silo if you will. So even if Reince is with the president working on something, and Jared is working on an issue related to trade, and Steve is working on an issue related to immigration or something, we try and make sure everyone is still on the same page and working together and moving together as fast as we can. But rumors surfaced online that Walsh was leaking information about the White House. “Everyone knows not to talk to her in the White House unless you want to see it in the press,” Got News editor Charles Johnson quoted a “source close to the president” as saying in February. “The only question is whether or not she’s doing it at the behest of [White House Chief of Staff] Reince Priebus or if she’s doing it to advance herself in DC media circles.” And with the White House Leaker now identified and fired, the White House challenges the congressional intelligence committee leaders, four members of the oversight ‘gang-of-eight,’ to come and review the Obama intelligence report. That review request paints Intel Committee Ranking Member Adam Schiff, and Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chair Senator Mark Warner into a corner. President Trump is now challenging the House and Senate intel committee heads to review the evidence of President Obama’s surveillance. How can they refuse to see the truth without exposing their political agenda? Well played, Team Trump, well played. Here’s the play – FIRST THE LEAKER: White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh, a top aide to President Donald Trump, is leaving his administration to work for an outside group supporting the president’s agenda, three Republicans close to Trump said. […] Walsh was a close ally of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, serving as his chief of staff when Priebus led the Republican National Committee. (link) Katie Walsh was brought on specifically because President Trump’s Chief-of-Staff Reince Priebus asked for her. Walsh was a #NeverTrumper during the 2016 primary. [Now fathom the renewed leverage/influence President Trump (and Bannon) carries over Priebus.] ♦ The article written by Maggie Haberman outlined two National Security Council members as the people who facilitated the intelligence information for Devin Nunes to review: […] The congressman [Nunes] has refused to identify his sources, saying he needed to protect them so others would feel safe coming to the committee with sensitive information. He disclosed the existence of the intelligence reports on March 22, and in his public comments he has described his sources as whistle-blowers trying to expose wrongdoing at great risk to themselves. Several current American officials identified the White House officials as Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence at the National Security Council, and Michael Ellis, a lawyer who works on national security issues at the White House Counsel’s Office and formerly worked on the staff of the House Intelligence Committee. A White House spokesperson declined to comment. Mr. Cohen-Watnick is a former Defense Intelligence Agency official who was originally brought to the White House by Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser. The officials said that this month, shortly after Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter about being wiretapped on the orders of President Barack Obama, Mr. Cohen-Watnick began reviewing highly classified reports detailing the intercepted communications of foreign officials. Officials said the reports consisted primarily of ambassadors and other foreign officials talking about how they were trying to develop contacts within Mr. Trump’s family and inner circle in advance of his inauguration. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the intelligence and to avoid angering Mr. Cohen-Watnick and Mr. Ellis. Officials say Mr. Cohen-Watnick has been reviewing the reports from his fourth-floor office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where the National Security Council is based. But the officials’ description of the intelligence is in line with Mr. Nunes’s own characterization of the material, which he has said was not related to the Russia investigations when he disclosed its existence in a hastily arranged news conference. According to Mr. Nunes, he received a phone call from a source the night before, and then rushed to meet the person on the grounds of the White House. He has explained the choice of location by saying he needed access to a secure place where people with security clearances could legally view classified information, though such facilities can also be found in the Capitol building and at other locations across Washington. The next day, Mr. Nunes gave a news briefing at the Capitol and then returned to the White House to brief President Trump on the information. (link) With Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence at the National Security Council, and Michael Ellis, a lawyer who works on national security issues at the White House Counsel’s Office, outed as the source of the information for Chairman Nunes – the entire media narrative of “controversy” collapses as a nothingburger. Both Ezra Cohen-Watnick and Michael Ellis are cleared and authorized to act on behalf of the President in such matters. The President’s National Security Council has a responsibility to follow intelligence protocols to draw attention to matters of compromise; their notification of Intel Chairman Devin Nunes is following that protocol. ♦ So the administration action follows – With the long-sought White House leaker (Katie Walsh) identified and released, and the controversy of the Nunes leaker a nothingburger, the White House now moves forward with a brilliant request to the Intelligence Oversight Gang-of-Eight to come and review the aforementioned discovery of President Obama surveillance.

Everything created starts from basic elements. For example, the Enbrel that I took for 9+ years is derived from Chinese hamster ovary cells to create a genetically engineered protein to suppress the autoimmune system. The problem is the vast list of side effects when taking Enbrel or other medications. Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants and have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits (Example: Frankincense was given to the baby Jesus from one of the 3 wise men when he was born). doTERRA Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils claim to have very little side effects.

As recommended by a naturopath and their recommended website, here are the oils and methods I use: doTERRA Oils & Supplements I Use Morning & Evening Supplements Taken with Food As with any supplement, take one type at a time and test for a minimum 4 days. TerraZyme (1) – Enzymes to help with digestion. Alpha CRS+ (2) – Helps immune function & inflammatory response to oxidative stress in cells. xEOMEGA (2) – Similar to fish oils, it helps joint function, heart health, and brain function. Microplex VM (2) – maintains the cells by supplying vitamins and minerals commonly missed in diets. Zendocrine (1) – Suggested by my naturopath, it’s a detoxification supplement. My heart raced & I received a flare-up when using. I do not recommend. Except for TerraZyme, these supplements are sold together as doTERRA’s Life Long Vitality Pack. Oils and Methods With an empty vegetable (Size 0) capsule, I digest these oils together: Ginger (2 drops) – anti-inflammatory to replace the Prednisone medication. DigestZen (2 drops) – digestive blend to replace the Asacol HD. Frankincense (4-6 drops, still testing) – anti-inflammatory to replace the Prednisone medication. Peppermint (1 drop) – digestive blend to replace the Asacol HD. .. With an aroma diffuser (photo on left), I use 2 drops each of these oils for aromatherapy: Lavender – overall stress, use for daytime Serenity – calming oil used before bedtime to induce a restful sleep Lemon Grass – daytime oil for headaches and pain Balance – Geared toward the central nervous system, this oil helps calm spikes in emotions. Breathe – Use at the onset of cold, flu, and congestion. Do doTERRA Oils Work for my Autoimmune Disease (Initial Review)? Since the timing of this post, I have been using the above protocol for a month. Before I was on the oils, I tried getting off Prednisone and had multiple symptoms come back the next few days. On 2/19 I tried again by not taking any Prednisone at night and the usual 1/2 pill (5mg) daytime. While the first morning was difficult, I am now able to manage my symptom and pains without needing the Prednisone again at night. The next test will be next week when I get off Prednisone completely and the final major test for these oils will probably be a month after my body is in remission. At that time, I will stop using the oils & supplements to see if there is a difference. Which Products Did I Buy? The naturopath suggested to start out with the natural solutions kit, but you need to sign up with a doTERRA representative to get it. By purchasing the kit, you automatically become an “Independent Product Consultant” (IPC) and get discounts on doTERRA’s product lines.

http://100percenthealth.us/year1-2/water-kefir-autoimmune/	Natural Water Kefir Benefits and Side Effects for Autoimmune	Water Kefir for Autoimmune Water Kefir for Autoimmune What is Water Kefir? What are the Autoimmune Natural Health Benefits of Water Kefir? What are the Side Effects of Water Kefir? How to Make Water Kefir Ingredients Needed: My Simple Instructions: Where Do I Find Natural Water Kefir Grains? Photos of My Water Kefir Process	Natural Water Kefir Benefits and Side Effects for Autoimmune Post navigation ← Previous Next → Water Kefir for Autoimmune Posted on February 5, 2013 by brianzajac Water Kefir Grains What is Water Kefir? Water kefir is made from kefir grains, also known as sugar grains, tibicos, tibi, or Japanese water crystals. The grains make up cultures of various strains of healthy bacteria and yeast, held together in a polysaccharide matrix created by the bacteria. The symbiotic relationship of the microbes produces a stable growing culture. The microbes feed on sugar and produce lactic acid, alcohol (ethanol), and carbon dioxide, yielding a fermented carbonated beverage. The alcohol content is usually very minimal, less than 1%. In a nutshell, it’s a large dosage of Probiotics in the natural form. What are the Autoimmune Natural Health Benefits of Water Kefir? They are a natural supplier of Probiotics to our digestive track. Probiotics refers to the healthy bacteria that usually feed on the “bad” unhealthy bacteria in our stomach and intestines. Bacterial overgrowth can lead to many illnesses some of which include fungi, yeast infections, indigestion, obesity, Irritable Bowel Syndrome + Crohn’s Disease ( my autoimmune disorder stems from these), skin disorders, etc. By drinking water kefir you will bring natural balance to your internal microflora. By contrast, there is milk kefir [ review comparison ], however the dairy in it could be problematic and thus the reason I use water kefir. UPDATE 7/3/13 – CONFIRMATION THAT WATER KEFIR WORKS FOR GOOD BACTERIA – Review the Metametrix Gut Ecology Test Results for bacteria levels within my system. You will see the predominant levels of bacteria (the good ones) are high and the pathogenic / opportunistic bacteria (the bad ones) are low and this is due strictly to the water kefir. The only bacteria I need to supplement are the Bifidobacter and am taking a one month dosage to bring those levels up. What are the Side Effects of Water Kefir? Although some have reported candida-like issues, it usually stems from detoxification and only lasts for a few days. In my research, I have not come up with any significant side effects nor have I developed any major flare-ups while taking water kefir. UPDATE 4/12/13 – Taking water kefir every morning 4-8oz. with no side effects except mucus with stool if I have too much water kefir. My body has improved since taking it and is one of the few enhancements / supplements I take now. Kefir grains stopped growing 3-4 weeks after shipment but that makes it easier to manage. UPDATE 10/21/13 – INCREASED FUNGUS LEVELS: Review the Metametrix Gut Ecology Test Results for Yeast / Fungi and you will see an elevated level of Saccharomyces. If you read the various strains of healthy bacteria and yeast for water kefir, you will notice it contains Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After stopping the water kefir for over a month, I have seen no significant side effects or improvements taking away the water kefir. Therefore it is safe to say that the water kefir is benefiting me (due to increased good bacteria levels) and that this test shows I have an overgrowth of the good bacteria Saccharomyces cerevisiae and not the bad Saccharomyces. UPDATE 5/17/15 – ACIDITY: After 5 months of being only on Humira 1X/mo, HCL tablets (scroll to item #3 after clicking link), and water kefir, I noticed higher levels of acidity in my esophagus, some heartburn (especially if I don’t take enough HCL from my other meals), and more burping due to carbonation. However, I solved this issue by diluting the water kefir, combining the drink with meals, and not letting it ferment more than 2 days (especially the more months you continue to ferment it). And I also determined that as each month goes by, the water kefir alcohol strength increases (drinking 1/4 – 1/2 mason jar in the morning will almost always give me a buzz in the morning). How to Make Water Kefir Tools Needed (Only use plastic / glass, no metal): Plastic strainer Plastic measuring spoons Plastic spoon or knife 4-Cup Glass Measurer Ball Mason jar 3 Glass Ball Mason jars Small coffee filter Rubber band Ingredients Needed: Filtered or spring water Water kefir grains Organic cane sugar (Optional) Unsweetened, unsulfured dried fruit (apricots, figs or raisins) (Optional) Organic lemon / lime My Simple Instructions: Cut lemon / lime in half & then cut again to make 4 pieces. Add 4 Tbsp of organic sugar to 3 cups of spring water. Stir with plastic knife until sugar dissolves. Add in strained water kefir and 4 pieces of lemon / lime. Cover with the coffee filter and wrap with a rubber band for 48 hours in a cool, dry place. After 48 hours, uncover & strain into a new Mason jar. Make a new water sugar solution into the 3rd Mason jar and repeat the steps shown above.

Eadweard Muybridge Explore the Photograph Previous photograph Next photograph Return to the collection Previous photograph The Horse in Motion Eadweard Muybridge 1878 Next photograph When a horse trots or gallops, does it ever become fully airborne? This was the question photographer Eadweard Muybridge set out to answer in 1878. Railroad tycoon and former California governor Leland Stanford was convinced the answer was yes and commissioned Muybridge to provide proof. Muybridge developed a way to take photos with an exposure lasting a fraction of a second and, with reporters as witnesses, arranged 12 cameras along a track on Stanford’s estate. As a horse sped by, it tripped wires connected to the cameras, which took 12 photos in rapid succession. Muybridge developed the images on site and, in the frames, revealed that a horse is completely aloft with its hooves tucked underneath it for a brief moment during a stride. The revelation, imperceptible to the naked eye but apparent through photography, marked a new purpose for the medium. It could capture truth through technology.

Over 4,000 dogs and cats have been rescued by our group in the Everglades area of Florida (Florida City, Homestead and Redlands) and the surrounding areas of SE Florida. These animals have been abandoned by their previous owners and left alone to fend for themselves. Most are starving, full of ticks and at risk for several tick-borne diseases, heart worm, the elements and the wildlife and that is IF a speeding car doesn’t hit them first. We strive to bring awareness to the severity of the problem we have with countless starving, abandoned animals on the streets of the Everglades area. This page and our MISSION was created as a community effort to END the neglect and abuse of our precious animal companions, man’s best friend. This project is funded solely by your support, without you and others like you we could not save these precious lives! By raising awareness to this problem, then remedying it, we believe eventually people will think twice before dumping their family pets like yesterday’s trash. Together we can bring change for the future of our animals that have no voice and no house of protection. This is only the beginning. Won’t you join us?” Sincerely, Amy Roman Founder and President Our Latest News & Blog Posts Sallyyyyy!

Counting Abraham's descendants would be like counting the stars Bible prophecy: Genesis 15:5 Prophecy written: As early as 1400 BC Prophecy fulfilled: Throughout history In Genesis 15:5, the Bible said that Abraham would have many descendants and that counting them would be like counting the stars. The fulfillment of this prophecy is obvious. In fact it is so obvious that it can be easily overlooked: Abraham is the only person revered by large numbers of people throughout world as being their ancestor. He is the father of the Jewish people, as explained in the book of Genesis, through his son Isaac, and through Isaac's son Israel. Christians become descendants of Abraham through faith (Galatians 3:29), just as Abraham became the father of many nations through faith (Genesis chapters 12-17; Romans 4:18). Proof of the accuracy of Bible prophecy Proof of the accuracy of Bible prophecy 100 concise examples of how the Bible's prophets accurately predicted events involving the land and people of Israel, the rise and fall of empires, and the life, mission, death and resurrection of the Messiah. And many other peoples count themselves as descendants of Abraham, through his son Ishmael. It also should be noted that the first part of his name, "Ab," means "father," and that his name was changed by God. The reason for the change is explained in Genesis 17:5, for which the NIV translation is: No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. Genesis 15:5 (NIV): He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars--if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Abraham's descendants would have their own country Bible prophecy: Genesis 15:18 Prophecy written: As early as 1400 BC Prophecy fulfilled: About 3400 years ago The Bible's book of Genesis explains that about 4000 years ago, the Lord found a man who had strong faith. That man's name was Abraham. In Genesis 12:1-3, the Lord calls out to Abraham and chooses to reward him. In Genesis 15:18, the Lord said that Abraham's descendants would have their own country, and that this country would be between the river of Egypt and the Euphrates River. (People sometimes call this the Promised Land.) Genesis also explains that this promise of land to the descendants of Abraham was inherited by Abraham's son, Isaac, and then by Abraham's grandson, Jacob. Jacob is the father of the 12 Tribes of Israel. This prophecy of nationhood has been fulfilled about 3400 years ago, the Hebrew descendants of Abraham first established Israel. The Bible's book of Joshua explains how Joshua led the Israelites into the land that had been promised to them, as descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and established the nation of Israel. The nation of Israel was later divided into two kingdoms, called Judah and Israel, about 2900 years ago. The kingdom of Israel lost its independence when it was conquered by Assyria about 2700 years ago. Judah lost its independence about 2600 years ago when it was conquered by Babylon. Then, about 2000 years ago, the Romans scattered the Jews (or Israelites, or Hebrews) throughout the Roman Empire. Starting in the late 1800s, many Jews from around the world began returning in large numbers to the land of Israel. In 1948, independence was declared for a modern state of Israel. Genesis 15:18 (NIV): On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river [1] of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates-- NIV Footnote: [1] Or Wadi The promise of land to Abraham's descendants would be passed down through his son Isaac Bible prophecy: Genesis 26:2-5 Prophecy written: As early as 1400 BC Prophecy fulfilled: About 3400 years ago In Genesis 26:2-5, we are told that God's covenant with Abraham would be inherited by his son Isaac rather than by any other child of Abraham. The prophecy repeats what is also prophesied in Genesis 17:18-19 and Genesis 21:12, but this time the promise is made directly to Isaac. The covenant that God earlier had made with Abraham was to be inherited by Isaac. That covenant, which included the promise of land, also included the assurance that Abraham's descendants would be a blessing to people all over the world. Many scholars view that as a promise that the Messiah would be a descendant of Abraham, through his son Isaac. Genesis 26:2-5 (NIV): 2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. 3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. 4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, 5 because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions." Jacob's descendants would inherit the land of Israel Bible prophecy: Genesis 35:9-12 Prophecy written: As early as 1400 BC Prophecy fulfilled: About 3400 years ago In Genesis 35:9-12, Jacob is given a prophecy that his descendants would inherit the land of Israel. Jacob was the grandson of Abraham and was the father of the 12 Tribes of Israel. The prophecy was fulfilled when his descendants claimed the land of Israel as their country in about 1400 BC (about 3400 years ago). Israel was later conquered by other nations and the people were forced into exiled. Many Jews returned during the past two centuries and re-established independence for a modern state of Israel in 1948. Genesis 35:9-12 (NIV): 9 After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, [1] God appeared to him again and blessed him. 10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, [2] but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel. [3] " So he named him Israel. 11 And God said to him, "I am God Almighty [4] ; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body. 12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you." NIV Footnotes: [1] That is, Northwest Mesopotamia; also in verse 26 [2] Jacob means he grasps the heel (figuratively, he deceives). [3] Israel means he struggles with God. [4] Hebrew El-Shaddai God will never forget the children of Israel Bible prophecy: Isaiah 49:13-17 Prophecy written: Between 701-681 BC Prophecy fulfilled: Throughout history In Isaiah 49:13-17, the Lord makes it clear that even though the people of Israel are to be exiled from their land, the Lord will never forget them, and the Lord would eventually bring the exiles back to their homeland. Isaiah lived about 2700 years ago. At about that time, the Assyrians invaded the northern part of the land of Israel and had forced many of the people into exile. More than a century later, the Babylonians conquered the southern part of the land of Israel, bringing an end to sovereignty, destroying Jerusalem and the Temple, and forcing people into exile. Despite the hardships, verses 15 and 16 remind us that the Lord will never forget the people of Israel. In fact, it says that even if a mother could forget her child, the Lord would not forget his children, for they are "engraved" on the palms of his hands. And, verses 17 and 18 show that the descendants of Israel would return, as they did after the fall of the Babylonian Empire. Isaiah 49:13-17 (NIV): 13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. 14 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me." 15 "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! 16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. 17 Your sons hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you. The people of Israel will never be completely destroyed Bible prophecy: Leviticus 26:44 Prophecy written: As early as 1400 BC Prophecy fulfilled: Throughout history In Leviticus 26:44, the Bible said that God would never allow the people of Israel to be completely destroyed. During ancient times, 10 of the 12 Tribes of Israel were decimated by the Assyrians. And the Babylonians later persecuted what was left of the people of Israel. But, instead of assimilating or perishing, some of the people eventually returned to their homeland and recover their way of life. The recovery was very complete, complete enough that Jerusalem again had been restored as the center of Jewish life. And the followers of Jesus were able to begin a process in Jerusalem by which Christianity later spread throughout the world. Leviticus 26:44 (NIV): Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or abhor them so as to destroy them completely, breaking my covenant with them. I am the Lord their God. God promised to restore the Jews Bible prophecy: Isaiah 27:12-13 Prophecy written: Between 701-681 BC Prophecy fulfilled: About 2600 years ago In Isaiah 27:12-13, the prophet said that the exiled Jews would return to their homeland. During the time of Isaiah, about 2700 years ago, the Assyrians were conquering the northern part of the Jewish homeland and forcing many Jews into exile. A few hundred years later, the Babylonians did the same to the southern part of the homeland. Many Jews did return during the centuries that followed. They rebuilt the Temple and worshipped at the Temple. But, in 70 AD and in 135 AD, the Romans suppressed two uprisings among Jews in Jerusalem, who fought, unsuccessfully, for independence from the Roman Empire. After each of the uprisings, the Romans exiled hundreds of thousands of Jews. After the second uprising, the Romans temporarily banned Jews from living in Jerusalem. But the Jews have been returning in large numbers since the late 1800s. Isaiah 27:12-13 (NIV): 12 In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates [1] to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered up one by one. 13 And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem. NIV Footnote: [1] Hebrew River Enemies would move into the land of Israel Bible prophecy: Leviticus 26:32-33 Prophecy written: As early as 1400 BC Prophecy fulfilled: Beginning in about 721 BC In Leviticus 26:32-33, as well as in other prophecies of the Bible, we learn that the people of Israel would be persecuted in the nations to which they would be driven during their exile, and that the land of Israel would be in ruins. Here, though, we also learn that enemies would reside in the land of Israel during and after the time of exile (Leviticus 26:32). This fulfillment of this prophecy began about 2500 years ago when Jews began returning from their Babylonian exile. As explained in the Bible's book of Nehemiah, the returning Jews were met with hostility from foreigners who were residing in and around Jerusalem. In the early chapters within the book of Nehemiah, the foreigners taunt the Jews as the Jews seek to rebuild Jerusalem, which had been destroyed earlier by the Babylonians. Nehemiah confronts the foreigners, telling them that the Jews will be successful in rebuilding their fallen city: I answered them by saying, "The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it" (Nehemiah 2:20, NIV translation). Nehemiah organized an effort to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem and the project was completed in 52 days, as explained in Nehemiah 6:15-16. Whereas Leviticus 26:32-33 speaks of the punishment through exile and destruction, other verses within the 26th chapter of Leviticus speak of forgiveness and restoration. Nehemiah played an important role in the restoration of the land and people of Israel after the fall of the Babylonian Empire. Leviticus 26:32-33 (NIV): 32 I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who live there will be appalled. 33 I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins. The Jews would survive Babylonian rule and return home Bible prophecy: Jeremiah 32:36-37 Prophecy written: Sometime between 626-586 BC Prophecy fulfilled: 536 BC Jeremiah was one of the prophets who warned the people of Judah that they would be forced into exile by the Babylonians. In Jeremiah 32:36-37, he prophesies to the people that they will survive that their exile in Babylon and return home. Babylon had defeated the Assyrians in a decisive battle, ending in 612 B.C., at Nineveh. And then, in 609 B.C., the Babylonians captured the last Assyrian king. The Assyrians had an empire that had included the land of Judah but now the Babylonians had seized control of the empire. In an effort to show the people of Judah that Babylon was now their new master, they began a process of forcing key residents into exile, as early as 605 B.C. More deportations took place in later years, culminating with the wholesale destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 586 B.C. Jews began returning to their homeland after the Babylonian Empire was toppled in 539 B.C., by a coalition of Medes and Persians. Jeremiah 32:36-37 (NIV): 36 "You are saying about this city, 'By the sword, famine and plague it will be handed over to the king of Babylon'; but this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 37 I will surely gather them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety. The people of Israel would return to their land Bible prophecy: Ezekiel 34:13 Prophecy written: Between 593-571 BC Prophecy fulfilled: About 2600 years ago Like Jeremiah, the prophet Ezekiel also lived during the time that the Babylonians ruled over the people of Judah, and he too was one of the Jews who were taken to Babylon as captives. In Ezekiel 34:13, he prophesied that God would gather the exiles from the various nations to which they had been scattered and that he would restore them to "their own land." Ezekiel 34:13 (NIV): I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.

There are too many PhDs. - 100 Reasons NOT to Go to Graduate School 100 Reasons NOT to Go to Graduate School This blog is an attempt to offer those considering graduate school some good reasons to do something else. Its focus is on the humanities and social sciences. The full list of 100 reasons will be posted in time. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. Monday, April 18, 2011 55. There are too many PhDs. The reason that there are so few jobs to be found in academe (see Reason 8) is not because there are too few colleges, universities, departments, or programs. If anything, there are too many. The problem is that the number of available jobs is vastly outnumbered by the number of people applying for them. There are simply too many PhDs produced every year for the higher education establishment to absorb them all, despite the absurd degree to which it hasabsorbed them into jobs that have nothing to do with traditional research and teaching. Today, universities hire doctors of philosophyto be in charge of their dormitories, alumni associations, and police departments. Colleges benefit from this situation, because there are so many well-credentialed peopledesperate for teaching positions that they will work for very little money. This would not be such a problem if the world outside of academe had more use for people with PhDs (see Reason 29). The fact that it does not is why there are so many people with doctorates who now find themselves working in part-time temporary teaching positions with no benefits (see Reason 14). A new reportfrom the American Association of University Professors describes the situation: In all, graduate student employees and faculty members serving in contingent appointments now make up more than 75 percent of the total instructional staff. The most rapid growth has been among part-time faculty members, whose numbers swelled by more than 280 percent between 1975 and 2009. Between 2007 and 2009, the numbers of full-time non-tenure-track faculty members and part-time faculty members each grew at least 6 percent. During the same period, tenured positions grew by only 2.4 percent and tenure-track appointments increased by a minuscule 0.3 percent. These increases in the number of faculty appointments have taken place against the background of an overall 12 percent increase in higher education enrollment in just those two years. Meanwhile, the number of people clambering to fill these jobs continues to increase. In November 2010, the National Science Foundation reportedthat 49,562 people earned doctorates in the United States in 2009. This was the highest number ever recorded. Most of the increase over the previous decade occurred in the sciences and engineering, but the NSF’s report noted a particularly grim statistic for those who completed a PhD in the humanities: only 62.6 percent had a “definite commitment” for any kind of employment whatsoever. Remember that this is what faces those who have already survived programs with very high attrition rates; more than half of those who start PhD programs in the humanities do not complete them (see Reason 46). The PhD has been cheapened by its ubiquity. While students in traditional PhD programs at research universities now take upwards of a decadeto complete their programs—as they struggle to fulfill the labor requirements of their teaching appointments—others are swiftly completing accredited PhDs online. These degrees do no carry much weight in the academic hierarchy (see Reason 3), but they do increase the number of people calling themselves “doctor.” One might not think that illegitimate colleges or “diploma mills” pose much of a threat to the integrity of degrees, but consider the fact that hundreds of federal government employeespurchased fake degrees and successfully parlayed them into promotions and higher salaries. Perhaps most scandalous is what legitimate research universities have done to devalue the PhD, which is now awarded in fields ranging from hotel managementto recreationand (most ironic of all) higher education administration. In the meantime, universities continue to lower standards for graduate degrees. The traditional American master’s degree—which once required a minimum of two years of study, the passing of written and oral comprehensive exams, as well as the writing and defense of a thesis more substantial than many of today’s doctoral dissertations—has been dramatically watered down. Will it be long before the PhD suffers the same fate? For graduate students, it takes longer and longer to earn degrees that are worth less and less. And after the years of investment required to obtain those degrees, they are met with a job market with little to offer them, even as the popular culture is increasingly inclined to mock them (see Reason 43).

Few programs have a Foreign Language requirement. Many programs are simply tweaks to the Major Professors' PhD thesis with nothing of substance being added to the general body of knowledge. We are getting to the point where people know more and more about less and less and are rapidly approaching the limit where everyone will know everything about absolutely nothing.

Since a university education is becoming more and more academic, and less and less generalized, it can be frustratingly more difficult to find employment as one completes higher and higher levels of education. The link to a PhD in hotel management basically captures this point pretty well. ReplyDelete Replies Reply LaurenApril 18, 2011 at 2:10 PM It's frustrating because now a PhD is seen as a reasonable requirement for positions that absolutely don't need one. So, if I'm toying with the notion of quitting grad school to pursue positions in admin or something, NOT finishing could in fact be a liability... even though my PhD would likely have no logical connection to that work.

Delete Replies Reply AnonymousJuly 14, 2013 at 1:46 PM @Anonymous Dec. 5, 2012 4:11 PM: Psychology uses math, but the idiots which populate the discipline don't know how to use it. When I did my capstone research project in undergrad, went to my faculty mentor to have him show me how to use SPSS. I had two conditions, A and B. To differentiate between the two conditions, I assigned a variable, cond, which was 0 for participants in A and 1 for participants in B. The variable was a dummy. It didn't represent any change; it was a descriptive term. When I went to format our data into tables, my mentor created a variable "other_measurement x cond". Now what would a smart person do in this situation? Well, first of all, there can be no "other_measurement x cond". There are two conditions, A and B. You need two variables, "other_measurement x A" and "other_measurement x B". Those variables were defined as the average of other_measurement for a given condition. What did my mentor do in this situation? He created one variable, "other_measurement x cond" and defined it as the average of all other_measurements multiplied by their condition variable. So, "other_measurement x cond" really meant: ((other_measurement1 x 0)+...+(other_measurementj x 0)+(other_measurementj+1 x 1)+...+(other_measurementn x 1)) / (number of participants) By the simple observation that all the other_measurements multiplied by zero will equal zero, we have: ((other_measurementj+1 x 1)+...+(other_measurementn x 1)) / (number of participants) In non-math terms, what this means is that my mentor set all the other_measurements for people in condition A to be zero, instead of the value we observed them at in our experiment. He essentially changed half my data and gave me the green light to publish it (which I didn't, because I really didn't find anything and it would have been unethical). This wasn't malice or fraud on his part; when asked for the reason he manipulated the data that way, he said it was explained to him as convention. I can't count the number of times I've heard grad students complain that they need to run every test in the book to get significant results. I know that at least one full professor at my university conflates significance with strongly correlated results (p < .05 does not mean that r is strong enough to say that there is an effect, yet authors still act as though the fact that their results were significant means that they are documenting a meaningful interaction). Psychology uses statistics in the same way that toddlers use paint; neither of them are very good at it. Delete Replies Reply AnonymousJuly 9, 2015 at 5:48 PM So you went to a bad program.

Psychology in itself is a program and can't use statistics. Saying that all people in a certain program can or can't do anything is a gross over-generalization. There have been some really amazing advances in education and many other fields due to psychological studies. I think what is most fascinating about higher education is that the higher you go, the more all of the subjects seem to be connected.

These employer-encouraged programs are usually "professional school," not "grad school" per se. A distinction that neither undergrads nor some on this list make. There is a world of difference between a terminal masters in social work or engineering, where you (attempt to) master a well-defined skill set which applies to a trade, versus stumbling around for a decade attempting to embrace "the life of the mind" and say something new about obscure, in applicable topic X. No employer that I've ever heard of required or even encouraged their employee to go get a doctorate in cultural studies. It's preparation for a whole new career in academia.

ReplyDelete Replies Reply AnonymousApril 19, 2011 at 8:54 AM There is no glut of PhDs. You have it backward: universities, like other American employers, decided that they did not want to pay employees decently, so they converted good, full-time positions into many more crappy, part-time ones. It is not the number of PhDs that led to the creation of these positions. If universities stopped using grad students and adjuncts, poof!... no glut of PhDs. They NEED these people to teach, so stop with the market-driven BS. The truth is much worse and should make us angry. ReplyDelete Replies Reply JMGApril 19, 2011 at 9:07 AM I should clarify my previous comment. What I mean is that there is less and less opportunity for employment in generalas one moves along from Bachelor's to Master's to a PhD. Of course, many PhDs are supposed to be professional training in an academic field, so it might make sense that career prospects outside of these fields is reduced. However, it's worse than that: having a PhD (or even an Master's) can actually be the one thing that prevents employment in many other fields. Even if you have experience, are motivated and willing to "start at the bottom" or take a pay cut, having that advanced degree might put you out right at the beginning. This is highly detrimental if you decided to make a career change away from academia, or you cannot find employment within academia. The PhD in Hotel Management is really a striking example. Suppose you complete this program. You find that there aren't many Hotel Management programs in colleges wiling to hire you, but you also aren't hired to actually work in a hotel or other establishment because you're simultaneously overqualified and underqualified at the same time. ReplyDelete Replies AnonymousFebruary 21, 2015 at 5:20 PM The granting of PhDs for anything and everything has become ridiculous.

When I completed the initial qualification in the 90s, only around half of my lecturers (or 'professors' as they're known in the US... title inflation) had PhD's, now they all have PhD's in the department I studied in. Back then, a masters (which was only offered as a research degree) was seen as something impressive, now every new graduate has one.

If there were way less Ph.D's, their skills will be more rare and marketable so they'd have the upper hand in negotiations.

I think this is something that many prospective (and failed) academics never fully grasp: more education isn't always better. Being overqualified can make you unhireable. I think this is where the status thing kicks people in the ass. Grad students hang in despite the many drawbacks (such as being overqualified for employment in a market in which they are unlikely to get the job for which they trained) because they think someone will eventually call them "Doctor" and that the alleged status of the doctorate will offset the unemployability, reduction in lifetime earnings, adjunct exploitation and other deficits associated with pursuing this path. You can see it in grad students who blindly plug along, obediently fulfilling the requirements of their program, but without taking any significant steps towards professionalization (like academic publishing in quality journals). Attainment of the degree/letters becomes the goal itself. If one's goal is simply learning, the public library awaits. Admittedly, I live in a big city, but my public library is better stocked, better staffed, and quieter than my university library--by far. I've learned more by myself in the quiet hours there than dodging the slings and arrows of those psychos in my program's hostile, pointless seminars. If the goal is publication, journalists are far more prolific, and often achieve more in terms of real world impact than academics do. But instead, I fear that for many grad students and prospective grad students, the goal is some lofty, prestigious position--half extinct, half mythical. Try getting the manager of the local porn shop to call you "doctor" when you're reduced to stocking his shelves to pay rent.

ReplyDelete Replies Reply AnonymousApril 20, 2011 at 11:59 AM What upsets me about this situation is that there is so much dishonesty involved. Maybe it should be characterized as "passive" dishonesty, but departments never go out of their to explain to grad students the ugly realities of the job market. Instead, they advertise their "high placement rates" (which don't have to be very high to compare favorably) and often emphasize how many different types of jobs their PhD graduates get after graduation. What they don't tell you is how long those people were unemployed before they found jobs that they never anticipated having, and didn't need a PhD to get. There are usually individual profs who will be honest with you about reality. On the other hand, there are too many who have their whole self-worth wrapped up in their career and "noble" profession and can't bring themselves to be honest about it with themselves, let alone anyone else. Besides, they want grad students to grade all the work that they assign.

After all, Ph.D graduates, whether domestic or abroad, are people too and it's not wrong that they try their best to land a decently job. CEO's will always look for producers (whether intellectual or manual) who have the most skill at the most efficient price. If someone from China gets a job offer over somebody equally competent from the US that is not morally wrong. Rather, it is more wrong that universities and some professors outright cater to the ego of uncertain undergraduate students (who more than often have no idea what they want to do with their lives) and tell them to pursue that Ph.D despite the fact that it is not financially sound.

After all, Ph.D graduates, whether domestic or abroad, are people too and it's not wrong that they try their best to land a decently job. CEO's will always look for producers (whether intellectual or manual) who have the most skill at the most efficient price. If someone from China gets a job offer over somebody equally competent from the US that is not morally wrong." [NS: You're talking about American CEOs looking for foreign Ph.D.s at the cheapest price, I gather. Even your language is deceptive. Of course, it's morally wrong. It's illegal, as well. A Ph.D. in Red (or even Free) China has no right to that job. Federal law says that employers are obliged to offer jobs domestically first, and may not offer them to foreigners, if qualified Americans are available. But morally vicious, criminal employers simply ignore the law, because that's what crooks do. And libertarians lie about every aspect of the business, and revel in the Rule of Crime.] "Rather, it is more wrong that universities and some professors outright cater to the ego of uncertain undergraduate students (who more than often have no idea what they want to do with their lives) and tell them to pursue that Ph.D despite the fact that it is not financially sound. Just because you are more schooled does not mean you have the 'right' or entitlement to a secure job." NS: Do you not see the contradiction between your first and second paragraphs? You had already stipulated that the American candidate was as competent as the Chinese. What is it with you glibertarians? I hear this routine all the time. You've rationalized cheating and waging war on qualified American workers into a moral crusade, and then further refined your rationalization into a furious hatred of American non-plutocrats, at least the white ones. I'm sure you would never talk in such a calloused manner, even anonymously, about uneducated blacks.

I was only explaining under the assumption that both were equally competent but that the one from China was willing to work for lower wages. It is not just CEO's who hire foreign Ph.D students. It is also the universities and research labs (a.k.a. the people who give out the degrees in the first place) who also hire/accept these students/graduates. Have you been to a large research university recently? How many foreign post-docs are there? How many of your TA's were foreign students during your undergrad years? Are these students "taking er jobs" from potential American students? Yes. But is that an immoral thing? I don't think so, so long as the students have the appropriate visas. Many of these students are amongst the most hardworking (if not extremely jaded) people I have ever met and I have had a great pleasure working with many of them.

If you know at the onset that after 6-10 years of academic training you may end up "retraining" as a massage therapist, yoga instructor, or exotic dancer (all jobs graduates from my program have assumed) and still want to go for the doctorate, so be it.

I've written about why this comparison is inaccurate here: http://afteracademe.blogspot.com/2011/02/stop-comparing-careers-in-academe-to.html ReplyDelete Replies Reply AnonymousApril 25, 2011 at 10:15 AM I've read the arguments posted on your (4/25, 6:01 a.m.) blog and don't agree that the comparison between academics and artists is problematic. To begin with, there is a lot of overlap between the arts and the academy, so these are not "separate spheres." I'm not going to go point by point, because flame wars are tedious and annoying (the reason I introduced a little distracting levity at 9:31), but also because I don't intend to attack you, especially given that I've agreed with many of your posts throughout the previous 50-something reasons. That said, I particularly disagree with the premise that academics' investment somehow trumps artists'. I just attended a group show in a major city's star museum and noted that many if not most of these "major artists" earned BAs AND MFAs from pricey private schools--the kind without TAships and full rides. We're talking upwards of 6 figures for the BA alone. Few had doctorates, but the majority had MFAs, which are also becoming increasingly important for writers (at least those who wish to be taken seriously and develop the connections required to make a serious go of it). Virtually everyone I know outside academia is associated with the arts in some way, and they make many of the same sacrifices that aspiring academics do. They also usually have dedicated over a decade to honing their craft BEFORE getting to the BA/arts school stage. I do agree with your assertion that "It is a myth that there is a clear and well-defined line of merit – in both academe and the arts – between those who 'make it' and those who do not." This is the big news for many prospective academics--it's not a meritocracy. And it's a truth that tenured profs actively conceal from the prospectives, so it's worth repeating. But as you (sort of) concede, this is in fact a reason why the comparison is valid. Regardless of talent and perseverance, the odds are against us, so you/anyone should pursue an academic path only if your heart is in it and you can't imagine doing anything else with your life. Then you should work on imagining doing something else. To make this comparison is NOT to say that the structural fuckery of academia shouldn't be addressed/remediated/dismantled. What I do resent, and I am absolutely NOT saying that YOU in particular have made this argument, is an attitude I've observed amongst some in the humanities that suggests that their work (critiquing and analyzing literature, art, film, etc. in academic journals that are read by few and inaccessible to most) is more important and superior to the work of those artists, writers, filmmakers, and others who actually produce creative work that broadly impacts our culture. "Ew, they let production people in my film studies class." "Well, that poem certainly couldn't have taken you long to write." ReplyDelete Replies Reply Epsilon GivenJune 23, 2011 at 10:33 AM @Nicholas Stix, April 20, 2011 11:02 PM Let's be clear on one thing: this glut of PhDs is NOT the result of international students coming to America. It is a result of our student loan system. First, we make student loan money easy to get--thus, if you want to pursue that PhD in English, it's easy to say "I'll just get a loan, and have a go at it!" Second, loan providers have no incentive to ask "Hey, won't this person declare bankruptcy after five years of flipping burgers with his PhD?" because student loans aren't bankruptable. Thus, it becomes easy to get a PhD, and not think about the consequences afterwards! At least, not until you're flipping burgers, or adjuncting at three different classes, or taking that entry-level position you should have taken ten years ago--because at some point, you're going to run head-on into the Law of Supply and Demand. And this "wonderful" student loan system was set up by our Federal Government! Oh, and I would add: at least, on some level, comparing the glut of PhDs to those of the arts isappropriate, because both have the same problem: a lot of people wanting to make use of their talent and/or training, but not enough people needing that talent. The result: a handful of "superstars" who got lucky breaks, with a lot of suffering underneath! ReplyDelete Replies Reply AnonymousAugust 24, 2011 at 7:00 PM I left my doctoral program in the sciences to attend law school. I left with a masters. I don't regret it although my job prospects would probably be much better if I had stayed in the Ph.D. program. If you think that law school is the ticket, you are seriously misinformed. There are no jobs in law presently. In contrast with the Ph.D. degree (at least in the sciences), a law degree will set you back probably about $200,000 (not including undergrad). It is a major crapshoot and your employability will depend, to a large degree, on where you went to law school as well as your grades. Bottom line, the grass isn't always greener. The main issue I see today is that people don't think enough about the area that they are studying with respect to marketability. I was studying for another bar exam this summer and I was studying at an area private college. I kept on running into doctoral students studying all sorts of ridiculous topics. Labor relations, ministry, English, etc. Invariably, I would walk away from the conversation scratching my head, thinking this guy/gal is never going to get a job.

Their math department had an opening for ONE tenure-track professor--PhD in math required--and they received over one thousand applications! Oh, and the job paid about $40K/year in a high cost-of-living area. Another friend is at a small, liberal arts school in the Midwest. He teaches physics. Their department also recently had a job opening: over 400 physics PhDs applied, many of them having earned their degrees from Ivy League or other top institutions.

Just penning some thoughts: 1) Capitalism: Higher Education as a business 2) Composition & quality of students pursuing graduate studies. It seems as if people are socially engineered into pursuing graduate studies if they don't get the job they're looking for, or the job market isn't doing well. The option of higher education comes off as an escape route, or perhaps an enabler for them to attain distinction / achieve their life goals. These sort of people may inherently lack the substance to contribute meaningfully to a PhD-level job. (2) This forwards the point that a significant proportion of doctrate candidates may be the leftover after the pickings from the commercial world, who've swipped the cream of the crop long before they even finished their undergraduate studies. Perhaps as a result of (1), higher education institutions are more willing to accept "lower quality" students for (a) monetary benefit, (b) gov't endowment, (c) to fulfill much needed roles in the functioning of a university, etc. In this case, their paper qualification, though rigorous, insufficiently compares in the market, resulting in a glut, or them netting jobs wherein they're simultaneously over and underqualified. (Or wrongly qualified)* Note, lets call them wrongly-qualified instead of over&under qualified. Worst of all are bad quantum superposition jokes. When equipped with a PhD, it doesn't reduce your job opportunities. At this point, s/he should be sufficiently qualified to create her/his own opportunities. Many doctrate theses I know of could be, and was, turned into a commercial product. I'm in the science & engineering field though; may not be able to say the same about some courses mentioned here.

These degrees do no carry much weight in the academic hierarchy (see Reason 3), but they do increase the number of people calling themselves “doctor.” One might not think that illegitimate colleges or “diploma mills” pose much of a threat to the integrity of degrees..." It is debatable as to whether my hybrid PhD will fall into this category based on individual opinion. As far as time of completion, I am now in year nine of my program so my tenure as a doctoral student is equivalent to that of a traditional PhD student. I would also hope that any "regionally accredited" online college or university that awards PhDs is not automatically categorized as a diploma mill. Such schools have been identified by the FBI and have been or are in the process of being shut down. So in sum, due to the fact that I'm pursuing a hybrid doctorate at a university that does not boast a stellar reputation in academia, I still personally feel that the element of rigor that I have endured in my dissertation process, and the publishing record of my committee legitimizes my degree.

If a PhD is training new PhD's, the replacement ratio for new PhD-trainers is a about 1 over a 30 year career. In addition, if maybe 5% of bachelors go on to PhD, given student-faculty ratios, that might account for an additional 2 PhD's to train at the undergrad level. This is maybe a bit high, but would account for masters track teaching as well? In any event, it would seem that each PhD training future PhD trainers would need to train about 3 PhDs over a career to replace the pipeline. Everyone else gets to get on the grant treadmill, or else go into industry, i.e. anywhere but a teaching job. The sick thing is that, if you are in the business of training PhD's, you really need to train more than 3 in your career. (Otherwise, your department/university can't support you financially.) Disciplines that are lean on grant money (read: no obvious economic benefit) have to train more than replacement, since they can't generate revenue through grants. And, disciplines that are rich in grant money (e.g. life sciences) use grad students as slave labor to support the research efforts of the non-teaching PhD's who earn the grant money. This also results in an excess of trained PhD's, who may or may not find research opportunities post-doc. I understand that industry is supporting the training of some PhD's, which should promote some balance. One aspect of all this over-supply is that there ought to be, and probably is, a strong culling effect. We train too many, see which ones are really good, and they end up being the next generation of researchers/teachers. The rest we throw away to industry/applied work, lower level teaching, or just to fend for themselves. Gee, sounds kind of like how professional football and basketball players are trained!

That's the main reason that there are too few positions. Moreover, tenured professors are impossible to release because of collective bargaining contracts that guarantee work until the day they die!!! ReplyDelete Replies AnonymousSeptember 8, 2013 at 10:51 AM I'm afraid that it's much worse than that. If all of the Baby Boomers retired tomorrow, and every one of their positions were filled with new people, there would still be an enormous glut of PhDs. Back when the Baby Boomers were hired, there were ALREADY too few jobs for the people coming out of grad school. In the years since, the number of PhDs has skyrocketed. You can blame the Baby Boomers for one thing. They've known about the job crisis their whole careers, but once they were a position to do something about it, they only made it worse.

ReplyDelete Replies Reply AnonymousDecember 21, 2014 at 11:09 PM Many well taken points here..many "stupid shits" also.. The financial interest of higher education, especially emergent online institutions, is real. Budget cuts and cluster hires in the arts and humanities are becoming more and more frequent. Pursing an advanced degree does not always make much financial sense, at least at first...But maybe this is a larger question to be raised...can we measure education with profitability? Is our profit-driven cultural ideology an obstacle to education, or an aid? Is there something 'in and of itself' worth pursuing in every advanced degree? These are deep cultural problems...why learn anything theoretical at all? What are the driving forces of one's education nowadays? Is this helping science make the next critical breakthrough? Is this putting us in touch with what it has meant, historically, to be human? I would encourage all young people with honest aspirations to apply and pursue their interests, in whichever field... The supply chain can and often does affect demand, but this takes place on a larger scale.. We shouldn't be afraid to pursue questions that are worthy our lives, even if it means reducing the luxuries of our livelihood...There are questions larger than our finite existence here on the planet...We shouldn't try to convince ourselves out of intellectual passion by means of current profit ideology. Even if there are 100 plausible reasons not to advance one's education, this does not outweigh the commitments to ones research... People should really look into their hearts and ask themselves whether or not they want to contribute to a larger body of research here on earth or just be comfortable animals for the remainder of their existence... ReplyDelete Replies AnonymousDecember 22, 2014 at 3:00 PM Anonymous 11:09, you're making the mistake of equating "advancing your education" with being in a degree program. People getting one degree after another are not the only people in the world enriching their lives and the world around them through learning. Some of the best scholars work outside of the academy; it has always been that way. Einstein had a desk job in a patent office when he did his most important work. What you will discover (if you haven't already) is that the vast, vast majority of people in higher education are in their jobs (like people in every other kind of job) to put bread on the table and "advance" their personal interests. You're making the predictable, self-serving "martyr" argument that academics make all the time without (perhaps) realizing how self-serving it sounds. If you're still young, and I hope you are, then you have time to see the idealistic facade that surrounds higher ed for what it is before you decide to spend the rest of your life behind it.

Delete Replies Reply Reply AnonymousDecember 28, 2014 at 2:17 PM The total incease of all types of faculty over the period studied that you report amounts to 14.4%, while the student body has increased by 12%. This does not indicate any great disparity between the supply of Ph.D.s and the demand, especially if we accept that we want to make at least some slight gain in the ratio of teachers to students at universities. The real problem is that government funding for universities has decreased, so that instead of hiring for tenured positions to handle the increasing number of students universities are hiring part-time instructors at starvation wages. ReplyDelete Replies AnonymousDecember 28, 2014 at 6:24 PM Don't you suspect that "hiring part-time instructors at starvation wages" has just a teeny weeny bit to do with supply and demand? I've got to admit, though, that I have no idea what keeps the salaries of college administrators so high compared to college teachers. Where are the part-time deans making starvation wages? Is there a dean labor shortage? And how do deans and other college bureaucrats keep multiplying despite the famous drastic decreases in "government funding" for universities that I keep hearing about? Delete Replies Reply AnonymousJune 5, 2015 at 6:15 PM College administration positions are mostly rewards for the politically connected (primarily of one party, I'll let you guess which one). The salaries are high because these positions are rewards. They're payola. Or they're money and position advanced for services to be rendered. The defense that is given is that the salaries are equitable to similar jobs in the private sector, or alternately required to attract the desired candidate. If there were in reality more than one candidate, there would be no need for such a premium. There is no administrator labor shortage. We produce far more of these than you would believe possible. Certainly we produce far more of these than have been good for the nation. The positions continue to multiply for several reasons, including some originally outlined as far back as "Parkinson's Law." The current expansion, however, is fueled by large amounts of (insert party name here) float money, which is then apportioned to causes in support of (insert party name here). It is very much a two- way street. Example 1: Administrator XY is a long-standing (insert party name) member and supporter, previously the president at (famous Ivy-League university). XY is recruited to head up America's Shittiest University, because of his impeccable (party) credentials, to grow the university in accordance with the values of the mostly (party) Board of Regents. To this end he pressures the state for significant increased state money over several years 'to grow the institution.' Administration grows by leaps and bounds. Enrollment continues to rise, as does tuition. A massive building campaign is embarked on at the university. Demands on faculty, however, increase. Class sizes increase. Departments are cut altogether. Concerns arise that the institution is not taking its state law mandated mission seriously. The state is thrown into a budget crisis precipitated by the excessive spending of Gov. XX and Administrator XY. Budgets are cut because all the money in the room was spent and more. The state gets slammed for being anti-education, which suits the Regents and their political masters just fine - they've been working to demolish the state for years. And, even as Administrator XY slams the state for cutting spending (though not, thank goodness, his $1 MILLION salary (after bennies) - and how can they, it's the Regents that set the salary) - even as Administrator XY slams the state for cutting spending, he spends $500,000 - taxpayer dollars - in a donation to the (political foundation). A clear case of how political these positions are, and how they really are cases of one hand washing the other.

XX has no education administrative experience whatsoever and has a J.D., but not a more traditional academic doctorate, yet waltzes into $570,000/year plus a housing allowance more than most households make in a year, plus substantial other benefits, including a large relocation benefit. The president's house in the meantime is to be refurbished to the tune of several million dollars. One of President XX's first acts is to raise pay for each individual university's chancellor by $90,000. After this President XX decides to hike tuition across the board by 05% per year, for five years. When students (understandably) protest, she comments to a colleague that they "don't have to take this crap," while chewing gum. President XX is considered by some to be an eventual candidate, of the (insert party here) for president of the nation. A clear-cut case of payola for past favors and future expectations - that will leave in its wake an absolutely devastated university system. That's how this happens.

To help you choose a workout that fits your fitness and swimming level, the swim workouts are divided into the following categories: Beginner swimming workouts Intermediate swimming workouts Advanced swimming workouts Cardio swimming workouts One mile swimming workouts Open water swimming preparation workouts in a pool Regardless of your fitness level or swimming techniques, there is a workout here for you. By using these plans you can develop a full swimming training program. Some of the workouts contain challenging swimming drills, others help you work on strokes and swimming techniques.

You will find that using a preplanned swim workout will help you with counting laps, and will also help you focus more on the workout. Beginner Swimming Workouts The overall goal of the Beginner Swimming Workouts is to build up to a level where the workouts will improve and maintain fitness goals. The 2 overriding challenges are to build up endurance so you can swim continuously without stopping, and to improve strokes and breathing through drills. These workouts can be followed in sequence, or you can choose a workout based on your specific swimming level and goals. If used in sequence you should stay within a specific yardage until you can complete the workouts at that distance comfortably.

The main difference is that open water swimming often involves longer distances than triathon. Most triathlon swims are at 1.2 miles or less (until you get to the Ironman level). The open water swimming includes many of the swimming drills used in the triathlon workouts, but the open water workouts also include long distance training. Obviously the best training for open water swimming is actually swimming in open water. The pool is a kind and controlled environment and it is not possible to simulate the open water experience in a pool. However, sometimes it is not possible to train in open water due to weather, location, or access. The swimming workouts listed here as open water prep will help to prepare you for swimming in open water, and can be substituted for a portion of your open water training. The workouts are also great for a swimmer that does not have previous experience in open water. If you are just getting started, consider using the workouts in sequence to build your skills.

Why are Zebra and Quagga Mussels a Problem? Where did they come From? Where can I learn more?	Zebras » 100th Meridian Initiative Zebra/Quagga Mussels Informational Brief on Western Quagga Mussels (407 KB PDF) What are they? Zebra and Quagga Mussels are freshwater, bivalve mollusks that typically have a dark and white (zebra-like) pattern on their shells. They are alien to North America but have invaded many of our waters. There are two species of Dreissena in North America: Dreissena polymorpha, commonly called "Zebra Mussels" and Dreissena rostiformis bugensi s, commonly called "Quagga Mussels" but may also be referred to as "Zebra Mussels," which is sometimes used as a general term for all Dreissenid mussels. Despite some minor morphological and ecological differences, both species are very similar and pose a significant threat to our waters. Both species, Zebra Mussels and Quagga Mussels, in general, are usually about an inch or less long, but may be larger. When healthy, they attach to hard substrates. much like marine (saltwater) mussels but unlike any native freshwater bivalve. They are often found in clusters. Zebra Mussels (size = about 3/4 inch each) Enlarged Photo of a Quagga Mussel (size = about 3/4 inch) What they are not Asian Clams Credit: Tom Mosher KDWP The clams on the right are not zebra mussels. Instead, these are Asian clams ( Corbicula fluminea ), commonly found in many areas around the United States. Also an invasive species, Asian clams reached the United States in the 1930’s and have subsequently established populations in 38 states. Although they are a nuisance species, particularly for industrial and municipal operations using raw-water systems, their range in North America is already fairly well established (coast to coast). More information on Asian Clams is available from the USGS How do Zebra/Quagga Mussels and Asian Clams Differ? Zebra and Quagga mussels attach to hard surfaces via hair-like threads. Asian clams do not, rather, they burrow in soft sediments and/or gravel. Zebra and quagga mussels are the only freshwater mollusk species that attach via threads to hard surfaces. Zebra and Quagga mussels have thin, fragile shells. Asian clam shells are thicker, with distinct ridges. Zebra mussels seldom grow larger than 1 inch and typically have alternating light and dark strips (but some individuals do not have stripes). Quagga mussels may grow slightly larger than zebra mussels, but generally are about the same size. Asian clams can grow to 1.5 inches and are light yellow-brown to dark brown. Asian clams generally do not have stripes. However, damage to the proteinaceous outer layer of Asian clam shells sometimes exposes a lighter calcareous layer beneath that may appear to be stripes. Zebra mussel shells are D-shaped. Quagga mussel shels are more rounded, but both species of Dreissena have generally asymmetrical shells compared to Asian clams. Asian clam shells are more round and symmetrical. Why are Zebra and Quagga Mussels a Problem? When they are present in North American waters, they are usually millions of them. Zebra/Quagga Mussels are biofoulers that occlude pipes in municipal and industrial raw-water systems, requiring millions of dollars annually to treat. Zebra Mussel densities have been reported to be over 700,000 individuals per square meter in some facilities in the Great Lakes area. They produce microscopic larvae that float freely in the water column, and thus can pass by screens installed to exclude them. Monitoring and control of Zebra and Quagga Mussels costs millions of dollars annually. Zebra/Quagga Mussels also negatively impact aquatic ecosystems, harming native organisms (including already imperiled indigenous mussels). In huge numbers, they out-compete other filter feeders, starving them. They adhere to all hard surfaces, including the shells of native mussels, turtles, and crustaceans. Zebra/Quagga mussels actively feed on green-algae and may increase the proportion of foul-smelling blue-green algae in water systems. Where did they come From? Zebra and Quagga mussels are native to Eurasia. Until the mid 1980s there were no zebra mussels in North America. Quickly that changed when they were inadvertently introduced into waters near the Great Lakes region. It is suspected that zebra mussels hitched a ride in ballast water tanks of commercial ships. Zebra Mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha) were first discovered in the United States in Lake St. Clair near Detroit, Michigan in 1988. Since the ’80s, zebra mussels have spread, unchecked by natural predators, throughout much of the eastern United States (see the range map). They currently infest much of the Great Lakes basin, the St. Lawrence Seaway, and much of the Mississippi River drainage system. The have spread up the Arkansas River into eastern Oklahoma. Quagga mussels invaded North America later than zebra mussels and have been confirmed in fewer waters, including the Great Lakes, the St. Louis area and now in the Lower Colorado River. Where can I learn more? US Army Corps of Engineers The US Army Corps of Engineers hosts a website called the Zebra Mussel Information System. This excellent resource covers topics including identification, life history and biology, distribution, slowing the spread, impacts and risk assessment, monitoring, management and control, and bioaccumulation. US Geological Survey The Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) information resource for the United States Geological Survey has information on Zebra Mussels as well as many other problematic species.

At the moment we have a lot of hobbies which are very modern and popular. For example photography, theatre, reading, collecting marks or doing videos. It seems to me that hobby is the greatest thing in people’s life. Let’s start with my hobby. My hobby is cooking. I love to cook and experiment with some products. It’s very funny and exacting. In my opinion, a lot of people like cooking but a little people do it as a hobby, because you must have a talent. Another advantage of cooking is that you must not do everything that is written in cookery books. On the other hand, cooking is a very good hobby, because you use a lot of qualified products and there are no chemicals. It seems to me that having such a hobby at my age cooking is very good, as it will be an advantage in future for me, because I will cook qualified and healthy food for my husband and children. And nowadays I know what I will cook for my family. To sum up, I believe that everyone needs some hobby to relax and in order not to waste time on unimportant and unnecessary things.

Firstly, I would like to say how I understand what hobby is. On my opinion, a hobby is something that you enjoy doing, something that brings relief of the daily grind and allows you to relax. So why not call music as a hobby? Many people turn to music as their form of release. That is why I love it. Music is among the most popular of all hobbies. There are several different ways to enjoy music as your hobby. Even if you can't play a single note, music is powerful enough to clean any limitations that you may place on yourself. Some music fans find that playing an instrument is not so interesting, so they try to collect as many instruments as they could. Even if you don't play a particular instrument, having it in part of your collection is still outstanding. For example, how many people you know that have drums and never play it. Many of us know somebody like that. Drums could be used not only as a musical instrument, but also as a beautiful piece of décor When you discover an artist or musician that you satisfies, it's clear that you want to collect all of their works. A music collection is a great hobby to have. Not only listening to music and enjoying it are the main focuses, but the collection itself is something that will continue to grow and thrive throughout the years. All in all, I think Tilo Wolf, one of the greatest german musicians of all time, said it best, «If music can touch my soul, whether it is heavy or light - this is my music». I absolutely agree with him, because it doesn't matter what people think about your music, but it is important what thinks about it you. Furthermore, I can say that it's an universal hobby that brings out the best in all of us. Dennis Karpov P.S Can I say like that: Music is among the most popular of all hobbies Reply Delete Replies Unknown 6 September 2017 at 12:54 WHat is "décor" mean ????

There are different types of extreme sports: rock climbing, diving, rafting, snowboarding, parachuting and others. Parachuting is an unusual ,exciting occupation and adventurous sport. Imagines this scene :When you are flying, you feel freedom like a bird. Many doctors think that it helps to save people from stress and depression and it is a good way to lose weight. But if you have not learnt how to land, you can break your legs. Diving is a very adventurous sport. You will see a beautiful world under the water. But besides beauty, there are a lot of dangers. For example, you can meet poisonous sea creatures or even sharks! You can be poisoned by oxygen. Also, you can lose consciousness. To my mind, each kind of sport deserves to be respected and extreme sports are not an exception. Firstly, doing such type of sport causes producing adrenaline in your blood, what is a source of exciting emotions and high blood pressure. There are more people who are doing extremes sports than you might think. All of them want to experience something more than their normal lives can offer. They want adventure .I believe there is an adventurer inside every one of us. It doesn’t matter how old or strong you are. The adventurer is there – it’s just hidden away somewhere. If you find that spirit, your life will take on new meaning. One advantage of doing extreme sports to satisfy your need for adventure is that you can completely forget about your everyday problems. You can’t be concerned about business phone calls or examination results when you’re jumping out of a plane.” In fact , most of them would agree with mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary’s reply when asked why he wanted to climb Everest: “Because it’s there.” As far as I am concerned nowadays our life is monotonous, and extreme sports give us an opportunity to make it more various. If I have the chance, I will certainly jump with the parachute. It will give me many positive emotions and I will never forget this amazing experience.

Secondly, dancing involves hand eye coordination, timing, rhythm, technique and most of all your personality and emotion. I am very dedicated to dancing and i practice as often as I can during my busy school schedule. Maybe one day I will become a professional dancer but I don’t know at the moment. Furthermore, people can dance in the clubs too. I think that dance can show how you can feel the music. Thirdly, I want to tell about dance style hip hop and I think that hip hop is really fun and interesting. You can start it anytime you want. You don’t have to be a good dancer when you start and you also don’t have to buy specially clothes. Just a t-shirt and a loose pants. In hip hop everyone has own style. In conclusion, I want to say that dance is great! Dance relaxes and raises mood. People dance and your life will be better! You will feel how your body changes. Dance is not only a sport. It also can be hobby which people love doing most.

Who does not in our days have hobby? Art is something that I really like and painting is that I love doing the most. I absolutely agree with Picasso`s quote: in my opinion painting is that can help you express your things, feelings and just is a pleasant pastime. There is nothing simplier that to start painting if you want to do it. Firstly just take a list of paper and something what you are going to paint with (it could be pen, pencil, paints, crayons – anything). Secondly think of what you want to draw either just start painting – sometimes good ideas come later that the lines on drawing. In addition I can give you a piece of advice: try to be both patient and creative. However if you are bored of painting and feel that you cannot draw – stop it (because in this way it could be a waste of time and materials). Art in general is something that need inspiration. But if you enjoy painting you can go to Art school and to study painting skill there. To sum up it doesn’t matter what is your hobby – painting, listening to music, cooking or playing football – the most important point is that it gives you pleasure and rest for your soul.

I think, music is the best hobby ever. You should look around and you see that music is everywhere. Every day after school I should relax. I have a lunchtime and, ofcourse, I listen to music. At this time I'd love listening chillout music, because I'm very exhausted after my lessons. As soon as I have a 15-20 min relaxing time, I feel better. A little bit more I enjoy beautiful sounds and I start doing my homework. Unfortunatelly, I can't work with misic, so that I should turn off it. When I end with my work, I listen to my favourite music - rock music. It is the best music EVER! I don't know what I do, if I woun't know about this style. Rock helps me filled with energy for all evening. Listening to rock music in the evenings is the cooliest thing, that I have. Some of my friends don't understand, how I - the girl- can listen to rock. I just answer them : "You can't imagine how it is wonderful- like in the skies" All in all, I wish people have their own hobby. Also, I will be very happy person if some people say: "Rock is the best hobby, that I know" Reply Delete Replies Reply Anastassia 25 November 2012 at 01:26 P.S. sorry for my odd mistakes :D Reply Delete Replies Reply Aleksey Paul 25 November 2012 at 15:19 Sleeping like a student does I'm not going to say something "awesome100%ibrandnew" about this topic. Just think. Now we have a lot of hobbies which are very modern and popular, many things we do. Sport, paining, photography and other - are just stuff that's only wasting our time. But there is only one thing we all do every time. I would like to say how I understand what hobby is. In my opinion, hobby is something that you enjoy doing, something that brings strong feeling of relief and allows you to relax. Music you would say? Good try («IE»), but wrong. We sleep. I love to sleep and experiment with it. It’s very exciting. In my opinion, a lot of people prefer sleeping but a little people do it as hobby, because you must have a talent. Some people find that sleeping is not so interesting, so they try sleep less than they need Doctors say that human body needs 8-9 hours of sleep everyday to feel good. This is a medical part of this question. In real life high-school (or just pupils) and institute students – here is the list of true sleeping fans. They can professionally sleep on a desk. Sleep in bus while it is going to school. Sleep almost everywhere you can imagine. Sleep is not a waste of time or doing (synonym means thing) we need to do to stay alive. It also can be hobby which people love and prefer doing most. Reply Delete Replies A. N. 25 November 2012 at 23:47 Here is new epic from me ^^.

Hobby is activity, which has been pleasing me. Always people like doing what they want. People are different, therefore they have a different interests. But I am confident that for every person hobby is activity, which borrow a lot of time, but time isn`t a pity for this. From all possible hobbies, most of all I like collecting. To begin with fact about collecting is an fascinating activity, because I collect euro coins from countries of the European Union. My collecting is connected with traveling, because for coins receiving, it`s necessary to go to one of the European countries. But also I can receive coins from shops in my country. For example, from there, where are a lot of tourists. Sometimes I see foreign coins from big hypermarkets „Rimi“ or „Prisma“. Furthermore, I am interested in collecting, because it`s development for myself. I know all the European Union`s countries and which coins they have. Already, I have75 from 136 euro coins, it`s more than a half. Now, if I meet person, who starts collecting euro coins, I would advise him to have a more patience and go to European country to have a rest. Also, to be more attentive and always remember which coins he has. To sum up, I say that I like my hobby because it`s amusing for me also it expands my outlook and develops my personal qualities.

Well, I guess yes. We often name this activity hobby. More that any other ways to spend free time I have tried, I love reading the best. ‘Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book’ – author unknown. This quote absolutely express my idea about books and reading. A good book is the way to live another life, which is competently depicted by an author. You are never alone when you are reading a great book! If I fall in love with a wonderful work of literature, I will not be able to tear myself away from it. Actually, I will also cry after it’s ending. Unfortunately, the youth of today is more interested in clubs and illegal entertainments instead of spiritual development. Most of them think that reading is a waste of time and they just say ‘I do not love reading, it is too boring for me’. Well, I thought this way until I became 15 years old. I am convinced that everybody can find something suitable for themselves. For example, I began loving books since I read a classical work of literature named ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte. Besides the ethical pleasure of reading a good book, it also increases lexical reserve of each person. It is very important to know how to express your feelings and thoughts in a literary style. All in all, I would like to say that every person has his own passion. Different people enjoy different hobbies, but reading is still an important way to spend free time through gerenations. Try to read books with different sorts of tales and you will surely find yourself in a world of literature! Anastasia B.

For me, the best hobby is sport, if be more precise - handball. Why am i enjoying it? First of all, sport can relax you after a hard day. You can pour out your bad emotions and feelings. When I come back from school, i do my homework and after that, i always visit my training. It's the best reward for me after long-school day. Secondly, i think sport learns to choose the right priorities and develops the power of human will. After 5 years of my "sports career", i can say with confidence - everyone can achieve the goal and the desired result, if they will do all with a desire. Overall, everyone should have a hobby. Maybe to someone else like sport, as a hobby- it's a right choice. All people shouldn't stop on achieved and must follow the words, which Marva Collins told "Success doesn't come to you, you go to it."

To my mind hobby makes living interesting. There are many hobbies like painting, gardening, travelling, collecting, photography, reading, crafts, knitting, cooking, pet care, dancing. My favorite hobby is travelling. Travelling is a fascinating way to discover and know the new things. I started to travel with a family from 8 years. My travel must be interesting because visiting a new place makes me know something new, a new natural environment, new people with which I can talk. The best countries where I was - Spain, Belgium, Germany, Denmark. In these countries there are a lot of places for visit and to learn a lot of new to itself. Whenever I travel round a new place, I take my camera and shot interesting pictures of building, monuments. All in all I love my hobby! I like to travel. I think travelling is useful and instructive.

Hobby helps us to relax, to forget about our problems and missions, to look aside. In our times music is the most popular hobby, because there are a lot of different styles of it, all you have to choose that you like, and enjoy. I enjoy music, because it always helps me. I listen it every single day. If I am in good mood, I prefer to listen some energy rock music that makes me dance till the break of dawn. It always charges me power and good mood. If I am tired, I chose some calm, relaxing songs. Music can speak, it always says you something, you just have to feel it, understand it. Through music people can express feelings and emotions, it some sort of voice or speech. When you hear something that looks like you, that you understand it, you start to love it. In conclusion, I advice to find hobby you like to do, and do it for best, and may be in future your hobby turn to your main job, and it would be pleasure to do every day you that you love.

Once Dorothea Lange said “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” She was absolutely correct. Since childhood I have known that I am an art person. Drawing, designing, dancing and nowadays silk painting... Yes, definitely I can’t imagine my life without art, especially photography. Even though photography is quite popular hobby in our time, I believe that not everyone can make really good pictures. But if you like it, why don’t you try and take photos for yourself to enjoy the process? Actually, I can’t say that I spend much time by doing photos and than put it in final form in Photoshop. In fact, that’s not my cup of tea. But there are some things that I’m fascinated at. For example, flicking through photo magazines or books and studying some important rules. After that, I can practice with my camera and pick up information about photo technique. I am really interested in camera settings and my purpose is to improve the quality of my skills. Photography has developed my imagination and aesthetic sense. Sometimes it’s very gratefully to look through albums and recall interesting moments from my life. I believe that photos can make people a little bit happier and I intend developing my skills in the future.

I don’t remember acutely who recommended me to listen it, but I can exactly tell, what it was accidental. I started listen it, when I was playing a console game, which called GTA San Andreas. I personally took an interest not in the game, but in soundtrack of the game. Soundtrack consists of many famous songs. However, most of it consists from rap music. You could think, that I didn’t listen it before and you will be partly true. This kind of songs was a complete contrast to what I heard before. It made me read a big amount of information about this genre. Furthermore, I heard modern rap music earlier and considered, that rap music is a bullshit. However, I was wrong. I opened for itself a lot of worldwide famous and admired artists and groups. For example, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G, Nas, Wu-tang clan, Naughty by nature, Ice Cube and others. I enjoy it because, rap makes me swaying, helps to relax and moreover increases skills of listening in english. In addition, nowdays I started to realise why many people disrespect and don’t listen rap. When many people think of hip hop, they think of bad and silly things. Hip hop is more than audience can firstly imagine, it's often misunderstood. Many often overlook and miss the messages within the music (exception is big part of modern hip-hop, which songs about luxury life, there isn’t any messages at all). I would recommended to all beginers, listen to the undegroungd hip-hop. Not that they could find on radio. To summarise, I want tell, that make “ Hip-Hop Hooray“ as Treach said and don’t make any hasty outputs. Listen to the hip-hop!

Of course,- it's PAINTBALL - the most craziest sport game in the world and I'm happy that i connected my lifestyle with this activity. My hobby is maintenance and repair of broken or defective markers (paintball guns). I think that I really help people to enjoy when they hurt each other on the battlefield. It sounds strange, but I personally know what I mean, if you don't believe me, please try it personally, too. Some time players appeal with request: "Could you configure my marker in such manner that opponents will cry because of pain?" And I adjust the marker's velocity under ~92m/per sec and firing rate: 15 balls/per sec. And after that I feel, that one more team will reach a victory, because they will have a soldier with the "death weapon". Sometimes, it necessary to assort in tens of parts to detect and repair a defect. That is the most I like in my hobby. Eventually, I'm happy that I have the greatest hobby where I gain my technician skills, receive pleasure, support healthy sports condition and certainly earn money.

More than any other thing I had ever tried I enjoy choir the most. For my live it tooks quiet long period of childhood and juvenility. At fist three-two years there were a lot new participants, who came. There is one thing you need to bring along is your desire. I am 17 years old now. My hobby had a big influence on me since I have started. I attached an art in solid connection. It takes from me 2 of 3 parts of mine free time. I feel that it develops my soul, actually I can travelling around world by learning more about cultures. If you have young brothers or sisters, it will suit them very well. To confirning this,the small kids have more desire to take part in art and it allow them to carry out some knowledges about music art. This way they can teach and play at the same time. It seems to me that as young as kids are it is simplier to make them believ in music interest. You can not deny, that your's children will need a patience. Overall, singing brings me only positive emotions. Some people could say that choir is old-fashioned hobby. Do not believe them. Just try to explore your own world of music.

I was twelve and it was breathtaking ,but a bit scary. It was in the village near Tallinn. Since my first time, I am crazy about driving, cars, engines and other supplies. It amazing when you are driving on a high speed at night with loud music and bright lights. Also I know how to repair many things in car or how to add some things to car.I love watching some TV programs about cars and new car supplies. In addition I also love off road driving.

I will tell you what the hobby is; how long I have been doing it; who I do it with and why it is important to me. My hobby is running! I know I do not really look like a runner, and it is true I am not very fast, but this is still the activity that I like to do in my spare time. I have not been running for very long. I started running just 18 months ago, as I decided I needed to get fit, and I thought it would be a cheap way to exercise. I did not expect to enjoy myself. Near to where I live there is a park. It is very beautiful with trees and streams. Each Saturday a large group of about 500 people meet at 9.00 a.m. in the morning, and go for a 5 km run together. This event is called Parkrun, and it happens in over 300 different places in the UK each week. I was nervous when I first went, but found the group was friendly and encouraging. Now I go every week, and I even have trained for some longer races 10 km and my longest was 20 k.m.! I have made lots of friends through running. However, the best surprise was that when I went to my local Parkrun, I met someone I had not seen for over 30 years! We had been at school together, but did not keep in touch. We had both moved to the new city of Sheffield and did not realise we lived so close to each other. Now I run with this friend every week, and we go for breakfast each Saturday after our run. Running is important to me because it keeps me fit, has helped me make new friends, and it has shown me that I am not too old to try new things! I hope you all find activities that you enjoy doing in your spare time!

The first European coffee-shops were established by Armenians. It’s true – coffee doesn’t grow in Armenia. Never has, probably never will. The origins of that drink, today one of the most valuable traded commodities of the world, are to be found in a region of Ethiopia known as Kaffa. The story goes that a goatherd was surprised by the increased energy of his animals after they munched on the beans of a plant. Those beans, roasted and ground, brewed and drunk, turned out to have the same effect on humans. From Ethiopia, through the Arab world, up through the Ottoman lands, those beans made their way into the hands of the traders and merchants who plied the routes from east to Middle East to Near East to Europe – Armenians included, arguably foremost among them. The very first coffee houses in Vienna and in Paris were opened by Armenians. Johannes Diodato (or Hovhannes Astvatsatour, translating “God-given” – a very apt name for someone who pioneered dealing in coffee, as many would agree) led the way in the Hapsburg territories in the late 17th century, while one Pascal opened the first coffee-shop in Paris in 1672, followed by another Armenian, Maliban, that same year. Armenian fashions were in use in decorating the coffee-houses of that time. There is even an example of a coffee merchant referring to himself as “a naturalized Armenian” in a French play from 1696. There are indications that early coffee-houses in London and in Prague were likewise established by Armenians. The social and political roles that such coffee-houses played in the following centuries are reflected in the café cultures of European capitals going strong until today, and emulated elsewhere on the continent and all over the world. One word on the word. “Coffee” and its variants, such as “café”, “Kaffee”, “qahwa”, “kahve”, or “kofe”, dominate the name of the drink in just about all languages, except for two. One is from the original birthplace of the drink – in Amharic, a language of Ethiopia, it is called “buna” (which is also the word for “coffee bean” in Arabic). And the other is, of course, Armenian, which calls coffee “soorj” or “soorch” (in Western and Eastern pronunciation respectively). The origins of that word, which dates from at least 1787, are not clear. It could be a corruption of “sev choor” or “sev joor”, meaning “black water”, or it could be from the sound made when slurping a piping hot brew. References and Other Resources 1.
