Don`t you just love these "educational" junkets our politicians participate in?

I am so glad Monica Conyers is going to Israel on an educational trip! Seeing as she is President of the City Council it is a wonderful opportunity for her to learn about dealing with urban warfare. She can then return and implement her new found wisdom in our own urban war zone called Detroit.  I can envision the educational lessons she`ll be absorbing now..................( cue drums of war background music )

Monica orders armed Detroit Police helicopters to take out rivals in their homes!

Monica sets up blockades and check points around Detroit to stem the flow of suburbanite terrorists bent on inflicting harm and carnage. ( hmmmmmmm a night at the Joe, eh? )

Monica orders wall built around Detroit. Said wall to be emblazoned with hubby John`s image every 50 feet.

Monica suggests peace accord summits where both suburbanite and city honchos chew the fat at luxurious locations, broker peace treaties between warring secretaries and aides and plan more useless junkets for "educational" purposes.

So it appears that Roland Burris may actually be seated in the Senate. Numerous reasons why this is so wrong even though it would be legal. Everything legal is not necessarily morally prudent or right. An old adage Burris is willfully ignoring. Burris seems to not be bothered in the least with the moral aspect of any of this. He shimmies and dances around the Governors documented attempts at selling the Senate seat and expects us to ignore the simple fact that the Governors behavior taints any decision regarding the filling of that seat.

Someof the tactics he is using to further his "campaign'":

Sowing a false sense of ugency with claims that Illinois could not possibly function with only one Senator for a short period of time while this mess is cleaned up.

He is Gods chosen man ( Geez sounds like Kilpatrick. )

His cronies sprinkling the race card across his path to DC like flower girls strewing rose petals down the aisle at a wedding.

Drama Queen - he knew the day before he went to the Senate that his credentials had already been rejected, but insisted on going anyway.

Illinois wants him there ( even though his political loss record in Illinois shows different )

What Burris doesn`t want us to closely examine is the fact he is a close confidant of the tainted Governor and that evidence is mounting that he appears to enjoy pay to play. While technically qualified to be a Senator, a point he relentlessly keeps driving home, integrity wise he falls rather short. His massive ego is all that really matters. One only has to view his tombstone to see what really drives and motivates this man. Normally people wait until they are dead and allow others to eulogize them and sing their praises. Not so with Burris. He wants to make sure people know now how wunnerful he is. lol If anyone believes his desire to be a Senator is based soley on his selfless love of Illinois..........think again.

 I`m sure all of these protesters and human rights activists feel justified and even righteous.........

Where are they when these barbaric terrorists disguised as avenging Muslims are bombing and sending their women and young off to blow themselves and others up? Where are they when these same wild animals are oppressing and robbing their own people? Where are they when these greedy power hungry scum suckers of humanity are treating women like cattle dung? Not a peep from them. I guess in their eyes if you tack Allah and Jihad on to your actions you are saintly and above reproach. Too bad these imbecile protesters can`t see they will be the next victims as the insane Islamic spirit of these self appointed Holy warriors continues to spread like a festering cancer.   

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Thousands of people gathered Saturday in London to protest Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, in one of several demonstrations planned across Britain.

Police estimate 5,000 protesters converged on London's Trafalgar Square.

Police estimated about 5,000 people were participating in the London rally, which organizers predicted would be the largest.

As they marched to Trafalgar Square from Victoria Embankment alongside the River Thames, many threw or left behind shoes at 10 Downing Street, the prime minister's residence.

Organizers had encouraged people to bring old shoes to show Prime Minister Gordon Brown their "disgust," in the spirit of Iraqi journalist Muntadhir Al-Zaidi, who hurled his shoes at President Bush two weeks ago while the American leader was in Baghdad.

"Gordon Brown, cloaking himself in Tony Blair's mantle, has joined with George Bush in stopping a unanimous call by the United Nations for Israel to stop bombing immediately," one organizer, "Stop the War Coalition," said on its Web site.

"It's shocking and it's terrible," one woman told CNN, referring to the Israeli airstrikes. "I feel that even though I'm so far away, these people are human beings, and we have to look at what's going on, and we can't just sit by and watch it happen without doing anything."

Lennox said at a news conference Friday that television footage of the airstrikes in Gaza had disturbed her. "It shook me to the core," she said, according to a video posted on the BBC's Web site. "I was thinking as a mother, and as as a human being, how was this going to be the solution to peace?Several other demonstrations were planned for Saturday, including protests in Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds and Manchester.

Protests against the airstrikes have been ongoing all week, with people assembling outside the Israeli Embassy in London and, on Friday, they gathered outside the Egyptian Embassy in London. Egypt has been criticized for keeping its border with Gaza closed.

Other protests against the Israeli operation have taken place in Afghanistan and in Indonesia.

Israeli police and military officials said four people, three of them civilians, have died in Hamas rocket attacks in the past week. Another 59 have been wounded.

Politico.com Breaking News: ----------------------------------------------------- Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he will not resign but will fight “pay to play” allegations against him. Blagojevich: “I’m here to tell you right off the bat that I am not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing, that I intend to stay on the job and fight this thing every step of the way.”

Got him on tape with pay to play evidence.............I won`t step down! wah wah wah. I will fight this! I am innocent!

Sound familiar?

Gor him on texts with evidence.........I won`t step down! wah wah, wah. I will fight this! I am innocent!

Do these arrogant, taxpayer dollar wasting, dodo politicians go to the same training school on how to try and avoid staying caught after they`ve been clearly caught?

HAMAS' President-Elect: Obama Was Talking to HAMAS for Months Using "Fired" Advisor

By Debbie Schlussel

Remember Robert Malley, the pro-HAMAS, rabidly anti-Israel foreign policy advisor whom Barack Obama claimed he fired from his campaign when Malley's extremist point of view came to light?

Well, not only was that a lie--Malley was NOT fired--but Malley has been making entreaties to HAMAS on behalf of Obama for months. I'm sure all the dummies--Jewish and otherwise--who voted for this man for President won't care about this latest news, since they weren't bothered by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn.

Ahmad Yousuf, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's political advisor, said that during the recent US presidential race a secret meeting between senior Islamist group figures and advisors to President-elect Barack Obama was held in Gaza.

Mazel Tov, American Jews!: Obama Hearts HAMAS

"We were in contact with a number of Obama's aides through the Internet, and later met with some of them in Gaza, but they advised us not to come out with any statements, as they may have a negative effect on his election campaign and be used by Republican candidate John McCain (to attack Obama)," Yousuf said in an interview with London-based Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat, published Tuesday.

Yousuf said Hamas's contact with Obama's advisors was ongoing, adding that he was still on good terms with some of the aides he had befriended while residing in the US.

Those "advisors" include Robert Malley--the "fired" Robert Malley--who wasn't so fired after all.

Obama lied, people will die.

My friend, Jerusalem Post investigative Reporter Michael Freund writes:

Most American Jews chose to vote for the Democrats, but what they got instead are the Defeatocrats, and ultimately it is Israel that will be made to pay the price.

Don't say we didn't warn you.

Sadly, those of us who do care will have to howl at the wind--the wind of 55 million-plus who didn't vote for HAMAS' newest BFF (Best Friend Forever).

It's tragic that on this Veteran's Day--while our troops continue to serve in harm's way fighting Islamic terrorists--our future Commander-in-Chief has already been spending months making nice-nice with Islamic terrorists.

G-d help this sinking nation.

***

Oh, and please don't send me the "But He's Jewish" e-mails about Malley. Yes, he is, and ironically, Malley's father was an Egyptian Jew--as in Egypt, the country that expelled tens of thousands of its Jews from their homes and kicked them out of the country for being Jews.

What can I say?--I've always known that the Jews' worst enemies are . . . the Jews, especially the vast majority who've forsaken our conservative religion and pride for myopic liberalism and apologism.

Santayana may be over-quoted, but he was right. Too many Jews have doomed themselves to repeating our persecution over and over and over again.

My mind was on other things today...........

Our first grandchild, a boy, decided to arrive today! :)

Aiden Michael - 9 lbs 8 oz 22 inches

Other nana holding him.

Whether Obama wins or not tomorrow ( I believe he will ) his rather odd sounding name, at least to western ears, seems to have been on God`s lips centuries ago.....

Just a really weird thing I found in the Bible recently.

Some of the book of Jeremiah foretells the judgement of the nations and of Babylon past and present. In Chapter 45 which comes right before the judgements Jeremiah appears to speak out of the blue to one person, a man named Baruch. Baruch seems to have been regularly employed by Jeremiah to commit his prophecies to writing. Baruch is the hebrew for blessed. I heard a lady on tv speaking at a jewish political function call Barack Obama - Baruch Obama. Barak means blessed in Arabic and is the word Baruch in hebrew. Chapter 45 is a short chapter devoted to just Baruch.
How odd is this particular name placed right before the judgement of nations/Babylon begins? How odd he is a scribe to the doom and gloom prophet Jeremiah. The next chapter after God speaking to Baruch through Jeremiah begins with

Jer 46:1
The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;

And I`m going to stretch it a bit here...... Jeremiah Wright and Baruch Obama. LOL No, I do not believe Wright is a righteous prophet. A false one, yes. And Barak just like Baruch being the jr member of the team. How odd indeed.

Another oddity. Jeremiah Wright..s sermon The Audacity of Hope was the inspiration for Obama..s book of the same title and his first DNC speech in 2004 which catapulted him on to the national stage. The publics overwhelmingly favorable reaction to his book has been credited with his decision to run for President. Baruch of old transcribed Jeremiahs words. Barak of today was influenced by and put into print and spoken word his Jeremiah`s words.

Faux Islam promotes Faux Messiah

Imagine the excitement of the mainstream media if they had discovered that some preacher up in Alaska had declared Sarah Palin to be like a deity? Well, the same basic thing happened when the Supreme Minister of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, declared Barack Obama to be a messiah as you can see in this video. I believe this messianic pronouncement by Farrakhan was made last February but the video was uploaded to YouTube just yesterday. Better save this video before it gets scrubbed by the Thought Police. I don't know which is creepier, the pronouncement of Obama as messiah by Farrakhan or that strange cultish smile on his face. Here is the transcript of Farrakhan's annunciation of the Messiah of the Chicago Machine:

You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn’t care anything about. That’s a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.

The strange thing here is that Farrakhan is announcing just what much of the media has been promoting; the idea of Barack Obama as some supernatural spiritual leader. As chronicled here in NewsBusters several months ago, photos of Obama with a glowing halo behind him began to pop up. And then there was Mark Morford, a San Francisco columnist and Zen Master (New Age way of staring at your own navel), who declared Obama to be a Lightworker:

Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway.

This is what I find myself offering up more and more in response to the whiners and the frowners and to those with broken or sadly dysfunctional karmic antennae - or no antennae at all - to all those who just don't understand and maybe even actively recoil against all this chatter about Obama's aura and feel and MLK/JFK-like vibe.

To them I say, all right, you want to know what it is? The appeal, the pull, the ethereal and magical thing that seems to enthrall millions of people from all over the world, that keeps opening up and firing into new channels of the culture normally completely unaffected by politics?

No, it's not merely his youthful vigor, or handsomeness, or even inspiring rhetoric. It is not fresh ideas or cool charisma or the fact that a black president will be historic and revolutionary in about a thousand different ways. It is something more. Even Bill Clinton, with all his effortless, winking charm, didn't have what Obama has, which is a sort of powerful luminosity, a unique high-vibration integrity.

Dismiss it all you like, but I've heard from far too many enormously smart, wise, spiritually attuned people who've been intuitively blown away by Obama's presence - not speeches, not policies, but sheer presence - to say it's just a clever marketing ploy, a slick gambit carefully orchestrated by hotshot campaign organizers who, once Obama gets into office, will suddenly turn from perky optimists to vile soul-sucking lobbyist whores, with Obama as their suddenly evil, cackling overlord.

Here's where it gets gooey. Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.

So with media nutcases like Mark Morford declaring Obama to be a "Lightworker," should we be surprised that the MSM won't find anything unusual in Farrakhan's pronouncement of Obama as the Messiah?

       "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him

        who called you in the grace of Christ,         

        to a different gospel, which is not another;

        but there are some who trouble you

        and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

        But even if we, or an angel from heaven,

        preach any other gospel to you

        than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

        As we have said before, so now I say again,

        if anyone preaches any other gospel to you

        than what you have received, let him be accursed."

        (Gal 1:6-9)

        "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

        And because lawlessness [sin] will abound,

        the love of many [for Jesus Christ] will grow cold." 

        (Matt 24:11-12)

       "Then if anyone says to you,

       ‘Look, here is the Christ [Messiah]!’ or ‘There!’

        For false christs and false Prophets will arise

        and show great signs and wonders [miracles]

        so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

        See, I have told you beforehand."  [Meaning - "Listen, this is a prophecy!]

       "Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’

        do not go out;

        or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’

Egyptian-born cleric Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, seen here in ...

"The collapse of the capitalist system based on usury and paper and not on goods traded on the market is proof that it is in crisis and shows that Islamic economic philosophy is holding up," said the Egyptian-born, Qatar-based cleric.

"The Western system has collapsed and we have a complete economic philosophy as well as spiritual strength," he said at Sunday's opening of a conference on Jerusalem.

"All riches are ours... the Islamic nation has all or nearly all the oil and we have an economic philosophy that no one else has," Qaradawi said.

He urged Muslims to "profit from the crisis to bring about the triumph of the (Islamic) nation, which holds the spiritual and material resources for victory."

The sixth conference on Jerusalem is being attended by around 300 people representing political parties as well as Muslim and Christian NGOs, from various countries.

It is staged by Al-Quds (Jerusalem) International Institution, which is dedicated to the conservation of the holy city and its sacred places.

Participants include Khaled Meshaal, exiled head of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, and Ali Akbar Velayati, a top adviser to Iranian spiritual leader Ali Khamenei.

The three-day conference will look at ways of protecting Jerusalem and its holy sites, which participants believe are threatened by Israel.

Hmmmmm they have the oil that controls the worlds purse strings and yet a majority of Muslims in the middle east live in poverty or near poverty levels. Their elite live like spoiled kings.Their society is one filled with violence, women are treated like cattle and is a nursery for terrorists who kill their own people. Methinks it`s not the Islamic economic model that has been "successful" ( I use that term loosely - refer to poverty, etc above ), but rather just having the good fortune of living on top of oil reserves, which neither they nor Islam had a hand in placing there. Don`t you love his philosophy too.....benefitting at anothers misfortune to bring about their agenda. No talk of helping anyone other than themselves. Quite telling how an Islamic world would be. 

Notice some of the participants of the conference as well......

 Participants include Khaled Meshaal, exiled head of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, and Ali Akbar Velayati, a top adviser to Iranian spiritual leader Ali Khamenei.

This is from a Muslim site....http://www.theislamicunion.com/5.html

Most Muslim countries have geostrategic importance as well as rich natural resources (e.g., natural gas and crude oil). These resources and strategic opportunities, however, are not being used effectively. In the Islamic world, 86% of the population's living standards fall below $2,000, 76% under $1,000, and 67% under $500 per year. When the Islamic world's total resources are considered,17 this is quite a paradox: Roughly half of the petrol consumed in the West is exported from the Islamic world, as is 40% of the world's agricultural production.18 Many economists and strategists freely admit that the world economy depends upon the Islamic world's oil and gas exports, in particular those of the Persian Gulf.19

Compare to our poverty level-

For most purposes, the “poverty level” refers to two different measurements. The first is the poverty threshold, which is determined by the United States Census Bureau. The Census Bureau adjusts this threshold annually to account for inflation, and this number is used for the purpose of generating statistics on poverty. According to the United States Census Bureau, the poverty threshold is $20,614 US for a family of four as of 2007. This number is adjusted slightly depending on the ages of the members of the household, but it is a basic starting point.

For administrative purposes, government officials use the poverty guidelines which are determined by the Department of Health and Human services. The rubric for determining these guidelines was developed by Mollie Orshansky in the 1960s. Families are assessed in terms of these guidelines when they apply for services like food stamps and state funded healthcare. In 2007, the poverty guideline was $20,650 US for a family of four; for larger households, add $3,480 US for each person. In Alaska and Hawaii, the poverty guidelines are slightly higher, reflecting different costs of living in these areas.

The sagely cleric appears eager to promote and equate living in poverty with successful economics? I guess that is why we have so many Muslim immigrants. They`re coming here to escape the burden of wealth and success at home. :O)

Excerpts from Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's speech Thursday night:

"Therefore, after much deliberation with my family, after numerous prayers, fasting, I have made a difficult decision -- I believe the most difficult decision of my life -- to step down as the mayor of the city of Detroit. However, my resignation should not stop the continued progress of the place that we all love, Detroit.

He had to fast and pray to realize he had to tell the truth and step down......this man supposedly has a college degree......

"I want to emphasize tonight that I take full responsibility for my own actions, for the poor judgment that they reflected. I wish with all my heart that we could turn back the hands of time and tell that young man to make better choices, but I can't. My challenge now is to put the anguish and turmoil of the recent months behind us and join in a common cause to love our city, to love one another and to move forward together.

No, your challenge is to serve your rather light sentence in County and remove yourself and your family from Detroit afterwards.

"I've often said that you have to stand strong for the city of Detroit. I always said I would stand strong for the city of Detroit. But sometimes standing strong means stepping down.

Standing strong for the city........using it`s funds for romantic get aways with your mistress`s and fancy cars for your wife and paying off a lawsuit to cover your affairs......don`t think we could have stood much more of your "strength".

I'm stepping down because the new spirit of this city, the new expectations and standards that we've set for excellence in the past 6 1/2 years has been tangled up in what I believe is the pursuit of many people's own political ambitions,

He`s not stepping down because he is a criminal, he `s repentant or he`s ashamed.......it`s because others tore him down. Sorry I just spit my coffee at the monitor here.......lol Love his definition of excellence........anyone for strawberries and a massage?

even our governor, Jennifer Granholm, who I wish well. Rather than focusing on finding solutions to the huge issues that are facing our state, the record home foreclosures, the lack of affordable health care, and record unemployment in our state, Kwame Kilpatrick was at the top of her list.

Ummmmm if I recall City Council brought her into this. She was doing her job. And you put yourself on the top of everyones list by refusing to step down all of these months.

"Unfortunately, after the headlines of today have passed away, and they will pass away, those same issues -- of Detroiters paying higher insurance rates than anyone else, health care, homelessness, foreclosures -- will still be issues that we must engage together here in the state of Michigan and the city of Detroit and I wish her well. ...

They pay higher insurance rates because your former city is unsafe Kwame. Nice spin attempt though. A few things you didn`t mention.... when was the Governor ever convicted of felonies, when did she cheat multiple times on her spouse on the state dime, when did she pay 9 million dollars in state money to cover her multiple affairs and have her mama stand up screamin` we don`t care how much it costs the city we will appeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is her whole family being investigated by the Feds too?..........well Kwame?????? You may think these headlines will pass, but you are entitled to dream.......

"And with that, the same harkening commitment, the same type of focus, I want to ask all of Detroit, as many people around this region that will listen, to support Ken Cockrel Jr., who will assume the office of mayor on an interim basis Sept. 19, 2008. It's a big difference between City Council and the mayor's office. He's going to need our prayers."Thankfully, I think that he inherits a city that's in much better shape than the city that I inherited seven years ago.

Before you inherited......geez inherited.......lol........yes, before you inherited we had 9 million dollars, Tiger Stadium, The Tunnel not under threat, The Mounted Patrol, no racist Farrakhan receiving LOVE awards and interferring in elections errrrr helping in elections and we had our pride.........

"Many of us can turn our attention to healing in the city. I've been hearing that so much that we need healing. I'll turn my attention to the healing that I need to do in my family. We can turn our attention as a city to the healing that we must do in our city. Detroit, you need to know that through your prayers and through you getting on your knees and praying for my family, my wife and I are closer now than we've ever been. My children wake up every single day and they're proud of their dad and their mom, they're proud to be who they are. I've never seen God work like he's been working with us, throughout this whole storm.

You`re only turning your attention because the Governor was gonna "get you" twit.

"My grandfather is here. My grandfather has lived in this city since before he was 10 years old and he's 89 years old today, and he has watched the city go up and down. He's watched mayors come in and come out, and sitting on the porch with him the other day was an incredible experience for me, because I truly know who I am, I truly know where I come from. And, Detroit, I know whose I am, and I know because of that there's another day for me.

Not if we have anything to do with it baby. No day for you......! And with all of your grandfathers aged wisdom..how come he didn`t tell your silly butt to step down and act like a man and quit raping Detroit for your own gain?

"And people have asked me throughout this, 'How can you be strong through this? How can you stand?' Because these people rooted me in something that is more, more special than a thing. They rooted me in a fabric, in a soil that I knew that whatever happened to me in my life, if I get some water, some good words, some seeds, I can grow again.

How can you be strong in this? Get a clue. You`re not supposed to be strong. You`re supposed to be honest, repentant, contrite and humble......You`re not supposed to get water and seeds for a come back.........you`re supposed to learn a lesson. The only thing you have in common with your agricultural analogy is the stench of cow pies and manure wafting in the air.

"And last but certainly not least as I close, the strongest woman that I've ever met in my entire life, the person with the most beautiful spirit, she could be a soldier one second and absolutely endearing the next. Someone who took a wretch like me and said that I am standing by you through thick and through thin, and so all those that tried to tear this up, I just want to tell you, you only made us stronger.

You`re the only one who was tearing your relationship up honey. Strawberries and champagne, massages, posh resorts making love........to others.......diddling in Christine`s office.........yep, that would tear up a relationship big time. lol You may have Carlita bamboozled.......but we`re not all dependent on you and your family`s ill gotten gains for our livlihoods either......Carlita will believe what she has to for her own survival.

"The quintessential American author, F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote that there are no second acts in American lives. The great writer that he was, F. Scott Fitzgerald was not a Detroiter. Because we fall, but this city always gets up.

Quit acting like your so sophisticated name dropping.......F. Scott Fitzgerald won`t be in County with you. Funny you should quote a writer who wrote The Great Gatsby.......a novel about illicit affairs, extravagant parties and wealth........is this all you know? And Gatsby ended up dead at the end.......

"Nick reflects that just as Gatsby's dream of Daisy was corrupted by money and dishonesty, the American dream of happiness and individualism has disintegrated into the mere pursuit of wealth. Though Gatsby's power to transform his dreams into reality is what makes him “great,” Nick reflects that the era of dreaming—both Gatsby's dream and the American dream—is over."

Here`s some literal name dropping for you though......

" In the wake of his resignation, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's name will be taken off the water tower at the Detroit Zoo. 

Zoo spokeswomen Patricia Janeway says Kilpatrick's name will be taken down over the next few days."

"I want to tell you, Detroit, that you done set me up for a comeback. God bless you."

Yep, ghetto speak always convinces and makes an elegant closing.........."you done"...........Yaws boi!!!!!!!!! Detroit hasn`t set you up for anything. Detroit and the whole region is sick and ashamed of you and your MTV Hip Hop posse. All you could think of before you resigned was passing out outrageous raises to pad the pockets of your cronies and writing your deluded farewell/campaign speech.

Your sick priorities truly amaze us. Your posse`s enormous ignorance amazes us even more........wildly cheering and applauding on tv for what? Lies, adultery, race baiting, a sick man with a messiah complex, a man who takes a mistress to a prayer breakfast weekend? Or their huge raises?  

To quote the Governor in PROPER English.........Godspeed Kwame.......buh bye.

With all of the hoopla over Fanchon Stinger I decided to dig into the religion she is reported to have converted to. You may ask why would a personal choice of hers be important? Well considering her honey Ray Ray is high up in the group and does business with the City of Detroit and it is also reported that many of Kwame Kilpatrick`s family belongs to the same religious group and that same group was heavily involved in his second mayoral bid and Kilpratrick hosted that group with open arms last year and even gave it`s leader an award "Spirit of love Award" and key to the City.............Oh yeah Obama`s former pastor Rev Wright also honored that very same leader with an award.........Whew! Outta cyber breath here. lol It at least warrants a looksee wouldn`t you agree? 

Farrakhan spent most of his address, titled "The Gods at War – the Future is All About Y.O.U.th: Youth Organized and United to Help," praising Presidential candidate Barack Obama. Farrakhan pointed out that NOI founder, Fard Muhammad, also had a white mother and black father, and described Obama as "a herald of the messiah… like the trumpet that alerts you that something new, something better, is on the way."

http://www.adl.org/main_Nation_of_Islam/farrakhan_s
aviours_day_2008.htm

Interesting. Fard is their literal Messiah/God and Divine whom they worship and he was half white. According to Farrakhan all of these years whites are only potential humans and have not evolved. They are also blue eyed devils and the enemy of the black race. But, but......that would mean their own Messiah/God was part devil and partially unevolved and partially had the potential to be human........

The Nation of Islam Exposed

By. A. I. Palmer (Society for Adherence to the Sunnah)

Louis Gene Walcott Farrakhan is not a Muslim, nor is his doctrine Islam. Farrakhan is the leader of a black racist cult called "the Nation of Islam," (NOI) founded in Detroit, Michigan in the 1930's. While the group calls its followers Muslims, in reality, they have very little to do with the faith of Islam. Islam believes in the total transcendance of almighty God (called in Arabic, Allaah), the NOI teaches that black people are angelic gods. Islam maintains universal brotherhood, the NOI says that Islam is for blacks only. Islam teaches that prophethood ended with Muhammad ibn Abdullah, more than 1400 years ago. The NOI teaches that Farrakhan's teacher, Elijah Muhammad, is the last prophet. Islam teaches principles of spiritual and moral decorum such prayer, fasting, charity, pilgimage, etc., Elijah Muhammad cast these out or altered them beyond recognition.

Yet, it is an error to oversimplify the issue by denouncing Farrakhan's racist diatribes while playing down Farrakhan's God-is-a-man and Prophet-after-Muhammad beliefs. Racism has very little to do with the issue. Sure, racism is contrary to Islamic principles and Islam rejects it. However, the deviation of Elijah Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan are MUCH more serious than racism. It is the sin which Allah DOES NOT forgive. If Farrakhan would leave his man-is-god and prophet-after-Muhammad beliefs, but was still a raving racist, he would be much better off than the other way around! Let me say very clearly, that there is NO ideology on the face of this earth which could be farther from Islam than that of Louis Farrakhan. NONE!

The NOI's origins are found in

(a) two black self-improvement movements that began shortly before World War I: the "Moorish Science Temple of America," founded in 1913 by Timothy Drew, and the "Universal Negro Improvement Association," founded in 1914 by Marcus Garvey.

(b) the NOI was also shaped by a Depression-era con-man, and convicted drugdealer, Wallace Dodd Ford. Upon Ford's 1929 release from California's San Quintin Prison, he moved to Detroit to start a new life. Ford used a number of names, including Wali Farad and Master Fard and claimed to be from Mecca, Arabia. Being that Ford's parentage was a mixture of white and South Pacific Maori, he used his skin color and his prison con skills to pass himself off to blacks as a "mystic" and a "prophet" from the Middle East.

Working as a door-to-door rug salesman by day, Ford blended the ideas of Garvey and Drew along with a smattering of Islam, to form what would later become the Nation of Islam. Among his first students was an unemployed Georgia migrant worker, Elijah Poole, who Ford renamed "Elijah Muhammad." In later years, Ford disappeared and Elijah assumed leadership of the NOI which he held until his death in 1975.

After a bizarre human sacrifice in November 1932 involving two NOI members in Detroit (one of them a willing victim), three NOI members were arrested: Robert Karriem (the confessed sacrificer), Wallace D. Fard, and Ugan Ali, an NOI teacher. The following day over five hundred NOI members marched on the police headquarters in protest. Karriem (whose real name was Robert Harris) thought he was carrying out NOI teachings, and the police were suspicious of a black voodoo cult. Fard told them, "I am the Supreme Ruler of the Universe," though his followers were dismayed that he told the police so much more than he told NOI adherents.[14] Fard and Ali were finally released, and Harris was committed to an insane asylum.

Further investigation by police led to the discovery that "Lesson 1" of The Secret Ritual included statements such as, "All Moslem [sic] will murder the devil because they know he is a snake and also if he be allowed to live, he would sting someone else."[15] Fard was ordered out of Michigan in May 1933. He moved to the newly-built Chicago Temple no. 2, and was arrested again in Chicago. However, in June 1934 W. D. Fard mysteriously disappeared, leaving no explanation for his followers.

Elijah developed an convoluted belief system based on ideas extracted from everything from Christanity to Masonry to Islam. He elevated Ford's status to that of the Creator of the heavens and earth, and he developed a myth which he dubbed, "Yacub's History." This racist doctrine is still maintained by Louis Farrakhan.

In brief, the doctrine states that the first humans, a race of black people, whom the NOI calls 'the Original Man,' created white people in a genetic experiment 6,000 years ago. Elijah claimed that they (the whites) would rule the world for 6,000 years and then be destroyed at the 'end of their time' by the blacks. He said that 'Judgement Day' means that at the 'end of time' the Gods (i.e., blacks) would destroy the entire white race (devils) and then establish a Paradise (nation) on this earth ruled forever by the blacks (i.e., Gods).

For a number of years, Farrakhan has managed to present himself as a champion for the oppressed masses, this also is a distortion. Like his teacher, Farrakhan has for more than 35 years engaged in hoodwinking blacks out of money in the name of black self improvement. The only self-improvement however, that has taken place has been for Farrakhan's family and their associates.

Additionally, his entire inspiration for the "Million Man March" is based on his alleged, "vision of being swept into a UFO that took him to a larger mothership." While in the UFO, he claims to have spoken to the late Elijah Muhammad before being beamed back to earth. (The Washington Post, Sept. 18, 1995, p. D3).

What many do not realize, is that Farrakhan has repeated this doctrine for more than 35 years! Indeed, Farrakhan's UFO "vision" is an inseparable, doctrinal link to the heretical claims of Elijah Muhammad. Elijah explained that blacks were originally, "moon people" and that the UFO "mother wheel" was piloted by 13 youths who perpetually orbited the earth, waiting to unleash global destruction on whites, while rescuing all blacks. Farrakhan to this day, teaches this same doctrine- his inspiration for the Million Man March. The Million Man March in fact, was planned with the following goals in mind:

(a) To hold it in Washington, and aim for a turnout of one million, so as to surpass the number of attendees at Martin Luther King's 1963 March on Washington, and thereafter be promoted as being greater than Dr. King and Malcolm X.

(b) By being mentioned in the same context with Dr. King, Farrakhan hopes to be remembered likewise as a charismatic, messianic black figure who commands a large and politically significant following among US blacks.

(c) To remove the cloud of suspicion which still surrounds Farrakhan regarding his involvement in Malcolm X's assassination.

(d) Most importantly, Farrakhan has to find a new way to pay for his and his family's ornate palaces in Chicago and Phoenix, his Lexus, Mercedes, Rolls Royce and Lincoln Town Cars, a Mexican villa, a new 77-acre Michigan estate and over $1.5 million dollars in unpaid back taxes. This is the reason he had an $11 registration fee, a $3.99 per minute 900 number for call-in registration (Average call is three minutes), a $700 vendor's fee, (reduced from $1000), and even ads in his newspaper soliciting for "donations" to "help defray the astronomical costs of the march," in exchange for listing the donor's name and city under appropriate categories (Platinum, Gold, etc.): $1000 or more (Platinum), $500 or more (Gold), $100 or more (Silver), $25 or more (Patron) not to mention $2 "special issues" of his 'Final Call' newspaper. Louis. A true high-tech con-man. You want to see Louie's real vison?: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

It is thus impossible for anyone to try to make a distinction between Farrakhan and his UFO inspiration, or "endorse the goals of the march without endorsing Farrakhan," or say that Farrakhan is greater than Malcolm X. Malcolm's greatness was as a result of his renouncement of Elijah's false teachings, and his acceptance of true Islam, factors which Farrakhan has yet to achieve.

My book, exposing the 65-year legacy of the NOI, is scheduled for publication soon, entitled, "The Emperor Has No Clothes." If I can be of further assistance, don't hesitate to contact me.

Interestng notes:

Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Kwame Kilpatrick, Kenneth Cockrel ( noted on his City profile ) and Rev Jeremiah Wright are all Prince Hall Masons - Masonic group for blacks . Monica Conyers ( noted on her City profile ) is a member of the Order of the Eastern Star ( womens Masonic group ) which implies her husband John Conyers is a Mason. Many, many black leaders in this country belong to Prince Hall. It is reported Obama is one as well. Former Mayors Coleman Young and Dennis Archer also were/are members. This is the common thread that binds them together. Not the different religious or political associations or variety of agendas you may come across researching any one of them. So what you say? It`s just a social organization that does many good works? Think again.

American Freemasonry includes local Lodges, Scottish Rite Temples, York Rite, and the Shriners. Prince Hall is a masonic order for black men.

The Eastern Star is an auxiliary organization for wives and adult daughters of Masons. There are also masonic organizations for children -- DeMolay (for boys), Job's Daughters, and Rainbow Girls. These are known as "adoptive" masonry, which means that wives, sisters, daughters and sons of Masons are spiritually adopted into the masonic order. As a result, they are under the spiritual authority of Freemasonry. (William Schnoebelen, Masonry: Beyond the Light, page 104)

In their own words..........

Quotes from noted Masonic authorities past and present.

Full quote
Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion and its teachings are instruction in religion. For here are inculcated disinterestedness, affection, toleration, devolvedness, patriotism, truth, a generous sympathy with those who suffer and mourn, pity for the fallen, mercy for the erring, relief for those in want, Faith, Hope, Charity. Here we meet as brethren to learn to know and love each other. Here we greet each other gladly, are lenient to each other’s faults, regardful of each other’s feelings, ready to relieve each other’s wants," Albert Pike, Morals & Dogma, pp. 213-214.

Full quote
"Though Masonry is identical with Ancient Mysteries, it is so in this qualified sense; that it presents but an imperfect image of their brilliancy; the ruins only of their grandeur, and a system that has experienced progressive alterations, the fruits of social events and political circumstances,"
Albert Pike, Morals & Dogma, page 624

Freemasonry is not Christianity, nor a substitute for it. It does not meddle with sectarian creeds or doctrines, but teaches fundamental religious truth." (Albert G. Mackey, "Encyclopedia of Freemasonry," page 162)

Whose truth then?

"Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it." (Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma," page 104)

"Drop the theological barnacles [timeless Biblical truths] from the religion of Jesus, as taught by Him, and by the Essenes and Gnostics of the first centuries, and it becomes Masonry, Masonry in its purity, derived as it is from the old Hebrew Kaballa as a part of the great universal religion of the remotest antiquity." (J. D. Buck, "Mystic Masonry," page 119)

Depending on what level/degree they have achieved determines how much of the grand plan they know. Many Masons are lower level and to them it is just a social/networking organization.

Just a rough draft of something I`m working on........

Four horsemen begin their ride across the stage of history. We read of them in the 6th chapter of the book of Revelation. It is interesting to note the meaning of the number 6.

Man’s coming short of spiritual perfection. It is the number of imperfection; the human number; the number of MAN as destitute of God, without God, without Christ.

It is certain that man was created on the sixth day, and thus he has the number six impressed upon him. Moreover, six days were appointed to him for his labor; while one day is associated in sovereignty with the Lord God, as His rest. Six

The serpent also was created on the sixth day.

The Sixth Commandment relates to the worst sin,—murder.

The Beasts number is triple six.

Revelation
Chapter 6

Then I watched while the Lamb broke open the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures cry out in a voice like thunder, "Come forward."

1. The meaning of the sealed scroll is in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah:

a) Jeremiah’s cousin Hanameel, decided to sell his land to Jeremiah because he figured that when Nebucadnezzar conquered them the land would be confiscated anyway.

b) While Jeremiah was in jail for giving this prophecy, the Lord told him to accept his cousin’s offer and buy the land because one day they would return and that way it would be preserved for his heirs.

(1) The court officials were called and the title deed was made out and the transaction was completed.

(2) The deed was rolled up into a scroll and sealed and could only be opened by the rightful owner!

(3) The deal was not fully consummated until the owner came forth to break the seals and claim his land.

(I) Satan is called the "god of this world" in Corinthians but he is a usurper. He doesn’t hold the title deed!

(ii) This "scroll" is the title deed to the earth!!

(iii) And the rightful owner is here to break the seals and to take possession!

I looked, and there was a white horse, and its rider had a bow. He was given a crown, and he rode forth victorious to further his victories.

When Jesus returns to the earth at Armageddon he is depicted riding a white horse. In this verse though it is the Anti Christ who is riding a white horse. The bow in his hand is not a weapon of war rather it is a piece of the simplest fabric. It is symbolic of how he will rule.........at first.

Dan 11:24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do [that] which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: [yea], and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

The European Union ( revived Roman Empire ) which he shall eventually lead has absorbed nations into itself through treaties of shared commerce and commodities to the point it has now evolved into a European super state. All done without a shot being fired. The bible predicts the Anti-Christ will come out of the revived Roman Empire.

The Treaty of Lisbon is in the process of being ratified this year (2008) with the hopes it will come into force by Jan 1, 2009. If ratified by all member states an office of president of the European Union will be created allowing the Union for the first time to have a legal presence globally. The president would  be able to serve up to two 2 1/2year terms replacing the current system of each member nation having a 6 month turn at leading the Union.

I believe the crown spoken of is a lesser, but successful position the beast will hold and use as a stepping stone to the Presidency which he will assume after he makes the 7 year league/treaty with Israel. Whatever lesser position that may be it must be one that has him in the position to legally broker deals with israel as well as serving as a spokesman for Russia. I don`t believe he will be Russian, just acting for them - in their service.

Dan 11:23 And after the league [made] with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people ( 10 kings ).

The Russian armies and their allies armies are eventually destroyed upon the mountains of israel. A person who appears to be standing for them backstabs them.

Dan 11:18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause [it] to turn upon him.

Russia identified in the bible

When he broke open the second seal, I heard the second living creature cry out, "Come forward."

Another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take peace away from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And he was given a huge sword.

Russia/Gog/Magog is the rider of the red horse. Taking peace from the earth begins with the destruction of Babylon ( USA )? In Daniel 11 The King of the North is German royalty in WWI ( the Kaiser - royal king of Germany ) and as Germany under Hitler in WWII. ( referred to as sons of the King of the North ) With the fall of Germany as a major world power under Hitler the title King of the North is once again applied to kings ( the 10 kings ) with Gog/Russia now acting as their agent under their title in Daniel 11. Russia and her allies ( Arab alliances ) are the 10 kings enforcers , but is the 10 kings with the beast in the background still who are the real power behind it all.

Northern Army described in Joel

 CBS’ Dan Rather labeled it as he suggested some of Wednesday’s images of ritual mourning might not pack the wallop at home that they did on the scene. He described "something biblical" in the reading of victims’ names.

"Television doesn’t do justice to this scene," he told viewers. "I don’t think you can grasp the full picture of what’s happening here.

"A north wind has blown in, down there in the pit where the names are being read, dust has settled over it like a thin, mysterious fog. But the reading of the names and the laying of the flowers goes on."

*Gog/Magog/Russia described as a whirlwind from the north in the bible.

Fox News Channel’s Linda Vester amplified that mystical theme.

"All the way to my left and all the way to my right there are TV network platforms. Everybody planned elaborately for months, and had shades and kind of roofs set up. And then all of a sudden today, the wind picked up in the most incredible way and started blowing people’s tarps off.

"We started hearing people say . . . ’This is the souls of those people lost, talking.’ "

Said Vester, "it must be a message from someone, somewhere."Tom Brokaw kept it going as NBC aired images of a huge American flag torn by the wind."There’s a hole in America’s heart today, and at ground zero, the flag flying above the ceremonies, there’s a hole in that as well as a result of what has metaphorically been described as a violent or angry wind. Other people, when there was a wind gust just as the names were beginning to be read, were calling it a spiritual wind."

It was actually a touch of Hurricane Gustav.At 8:45 a.m., Mayor Michael Bloomberg mounted a platform erected on the edge of the pit. "Again, today, we are a nation that mourns. Again, today, we take into our hearts and minds those who perished on this site a year ago," he said.

Wind roars like a jet plane

There was a brief sense of alarm in the crowd when Bloomberg delivered his opening remarks. The wind had picked up speed, and when it hit the microphones it produced a sound uncannily like that of roaring planes overhead, causing some people to look up to the skies, much like they did a year ago on the morning of the attacks.Just before 8:46, and the first scheduled moment of silence, the cold front forecasters had promised roared in. The intensity of the wind gusts were startling, I mean really intense, and very quickly a cloud of dust rose from Ground Zero, as the names of the 2,800 dead were read aloud. I heard much later that television commentators were likening the dramatic weather to an eerily Biblical sign. While that sounds like poetic liberties to me, I can tell you that the extraordinary wind arrived just before the ceremony began, and slacked off shortly after it ended. Make of that what you will.

The wind at Ground Zero during the first memorial service, September 11, 2002

Even the secular world can sense the presence of the Divine though they may not understand it.

“We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. “But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. “Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.” —Abraham Lincoln, U.S. president 1861-1865.
