NATIONAL SECURITY; IRAQ SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES (ISOF); TALIBAN CHANGING; ENDANGERING THE TROOPS WITH THE TRUTH?; MOST AMERICANS: ANTICHRIST TORTURE-SUPPORTERS
MOST AMERICANS ARE INSANE, ANTICHRIST TORTURE-SUPPORTERS: REPENT!
"How do you feel about the use of torture against suspected terrorists to obtain information about terrorism activities?" That was a question posed in the Roper poll of May 28-June 1, 2009. The results show spiritual decay:
- Often be justified 20%
- Sometimes be justified 32%
- Rarely be justified 18%
- Never be justified 29%
- Don't know 1%
- Refused *
(1,000 adults; Margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence level)
29% gave the Christian response, not that all who hold against torture hold with all things Jesus. The rest are holding with evil here.
Now, torture should never be used; however, notice that the rest are willing to use torture on mere suspects. How would they each feel being suspected (not all who have been tortured were even suspects) and then tortured? They would be indignant. They would be violated. They would be dehumanized. They would suffer the results of having been abused by those they trusted to look out for them.
People who support torture are being stupid and selfish, which is always shortsighted and unable to put itself in other people's shoes before experiencing the abuse firsthand. Get with it. Wake up. Develop a working conscience. Develop compassion, sympathy, and empathy. Work for righteousness and not recklessness, as Dick Cheney is so utterly shortsighted and reckless. He has risked everyone with his approaches over the decades. He is no Christian. He lies when he calls himself a follower of Jesus. He clearly follows Satan.
DON'T ENDANGER THE TROOPS WITH THE TRUTH?
What evil minds are those that come up with the idea that divulging atrocities endangers American troops and therefore should be censored and denied.
Here's the Christian truth to you Bill O'Reilly, Joe Lieberman, Lindsey Graham, and Barack Obama.
If the truth of atrocities endangers U.S. troops then those troops are working evil and need to stop. It's that simple. Yes, it's righteousness; and it's not reckless, Dick Cheney. It's call sanity. It's morality. It's called what will truly win hearts and minds and bring peace and safety and security if practiced without any hypocrisy throughout the whole of society. If you don't like it, too bad for you. May God have mercy on your soul because Satan won't and you're all headed right through his sieve and into his mouth.
Doing the wrong thing, having evil caught and exposed, suppressing that evidence so that evil may continue (and make no mistake about it, predator drone attacks murdering babies and others is utterly evil), does not support troops who themselves are committing suicide in recorded numbers on account of the evil that comes back to haunt their souls.
There is only one right way to work for good. It never includes killing. Killing other human beings is inherently evil. Jesus never did it and never will. There will be no Second Coming by Jesus Christ where Jesus takes lives. It will never happen. The one who comes taking lives is not Jesus. He is a different son of Man and not the closest son of God.
We must stop torture everywhere. I don't mean by violence against the torturers and their imperial and other authorizers. I mean by the truth coming out about the evils of torture and people turning away from such immoral and reprehensible, subhuman and demonic behavior.
The release of the evidence is designed to stop torture and war, both of which are inherently evil. No one should be doing either anywhere on the planet. That's the righteous, completely non-reckless truth.
Let me tell what else is going on here. These men are not first and foremost interested in protecting and supporting the troops even in the twisted sense they used those terms "protecting" and "supporting." They are chiefly interested in not giving ammunition to the anti-war movement. They are afraid that their imperialism will come crashing down and they'll be out of their jobs of working iniquity. They are afraid of the calls for prosecution that would rise up if the people were to see the horrific and systemic evils done by the top militarists who have little, if any, of the law of God written on their hearts. They are afraid that the Bush regime will be prosecuted, that the CIA operative and private contractors and freelancers will be prosecuted, just as the U.S. prosecuted Nazi and Japanese militarists and operatives (even though they allowed many unrepentant Nazis to enter into mainstream America bringing with them their evil-minded ideas further polluting and corrupting the body).

IT IS NOT IN ANYONE'S TRUE SECURITY INTERESTS TO KEEP ILLEGAL-GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS SECRET
The following is quoted from Democracy Now:
CIA: Keep Documents from Bush Era Sealed
The Obama administration is urging a federal judge to block the release of certain Bush-era documents that detail the videotaped interrogations of CIA prisoners at secret prisons. The Washington Post reports CIA Director Leon Panetta said in an affidavit that releasing the documents would benefit al-Qaeda's recruitment efforts. Panetta said the forced disclosure of such material to the American Civil Liberties Union could be "expected to result in exceptionally grave damage to the national security by informing our enemies of what we knew about them, and when, and in some instances, how we obtained the intelligence we possessed." Jameel Jaffer of the ACLU said he found it "troubling" for the Obama administration to say that information about purported abuses should be withheld because it might fuel anti-American propaganda. Jaffer said that amounts to an assertion that "the greater the abuse, the more important it is that it should remain secret."
It is not in anyone's true security interests to keep illegal-governmental operations a secret. If the government of the United States of America engages in torture (not what the amoral lawyers say is or is not torture but what I say is torture in my heart), then let the United States of America fall. Let it be replaced by an honest, decent, compassionate, giving-and-sharing government that will be a blessing to the whole world. Let the people turn to helping each other rather than thinking first and foremost about self apart from the whole (that is God if done right).
IRAQ SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES (ISOF): EVIL US CREATION
The Iraq Special Operations Forces (ISOF) is some 4,564 Iraqis trained by the U.S. Special Forces to be an extrajudicial goon/death squad unaccountable to anyone. These brainwashed soldiers have been turned into killing machines by the insane U.S. military. They are a terror to the Iraqi people. They kick down doors and murder people with impunity. They do these things while the U.S. commanders gloat about their evil creation.
"All these guys want to do is go out and kill bad guys all day. These guys are shit hot. They are just as good as we are. We trained 'em. They are just like us. They use the same weapons. They walk like Americans." — retired Lt. Col. Roger Carstens
Carstens helped set up the ISOF known in Iraq as the "dirty brigade."

This stuff comes right out of the U.S. Central America dictator play book. This is Reaganism again and continuing. It's a long tradition that goes way back before Reagan. It goes all the way back to the beginnings of the genocidal wars on the American Indians by racist Europeans.
TALIBAN CAN CHANGE
The Taliban leaders are not cut off from the world. They read world public opinion. They look for ideas. When they see the negative reactions to stoning the female victims of rape, when they see the disgust at those calling themselves Muslims who throw acid in school girl's faces, when they learn that beheadings just turn decent people further against them, they think, they discuss, they even see the error of their ways (not all of them see it, but some do). So now, the Taliban reacts quickly to Obama's speeches. They issue statements against school burnings. They call for greater literacy. They are becoming less oppressive. This is the way. They could have been reasoned with, but the capitalists wanted and still want oil pipelines running through Afghanistan. The capitalists want to own Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the Taliban has called for greater religious freedom. This is wise. These steps remove the false-hearted forwarded but nevertheless correctly labeled moral ammunition against them.
Now, if they really want to win, turn to total pacifism, not even resistance other than resisting doing harm to others. Then ask to be treated properly. America will be shamed into granting it. Gandhi knew this, not that I subscribe to all things Gandhi. I do not. Gandhi did though model much of his approach on Jesus. Too bad he didn't go all the way to real Christianity.

Standing Comment, all posts and pages:
To all homosexuals and their supporters, condoners, promoters, accepters, confirmers, and the like:
Unless you have something completely new that hasn't already been refuted, don't bother. It won't show up.
Rehashing what has already been refuted is a waste of everyone's time.
I'm not interested in casting pearls before swine, giving the children's bread to the dogs, or rebuking a forever scorner.
Learn or go away: There is zero wisdom in homosexuality. Homosexuality is wrong. Nothing any homosexual or anyone else can say or do will alter it. No one needs the Bible to know it either. It's prima facie. There's no such thing as an unrepentant-homosexual Christian. There never has been and never will be. That's the way of it. If you don't like it, change.
Do site searches on the various topics concerning homosexuality to determine if your "point" has already been handled. Currently, I provide three different search methods. The "WordPress" search is still the most thorough.
The same can be done regarding militarism, capitalism, coercion, and many other main issues and themes.
TREATMENT, RUDENESS, POLITENESS, OFFENSE, TRUTH
Many times over the course of this website's existence, I've had commentators complain about how I've treated them and/or others. Much less frequently has anyone taken exception to those commentator's comments. I assume that's because for one, I appear to be holding my own.
Often, I have raised the fact that Jesus called certain people "serpents." I've often also mentioned how he cleaned the temple with whip in hand, not that he used it on anyone. It certainly doesn't say that he did, and neither was he charged with it in the kangaroo court of the serpents who ended up murdering him by proxy just for, among other wonderful things, speaking out and speaking truth.
If I say that those who are engaged in serpentine behavior are the New Testament "serpents," then why take offense at my saying it rather than standing with Jesus and me about it?
If others don't like it that I treat others or them the way I have in this regard, why don't they take it up with the serpents and/or their own consciences and God?
If I wanted to catch flies, I'd use honey. I don't want flies on this level. Human beings aren't to be on the level of flies. If the truth is bitter as vinegar, then ask yourself why and learn to taste it as sweet but not sickeningly so. Why attack the message and messenger, as the serpents did, and become a serpent by so doing?
The issue is not "name calling" on some bratty, childish level. When Jesus said "serpents," he was not being as a brat. His level was completely adult to adults and children. He dared say that the children understood the clear and plain truth before the adults who, afterall, had been abused and socialized by the serpents. He still calls adults back. Those who hear him and know his voice (truth) turn around and do the other required things together as well.
What is it for a human being to be more serpentine or reptilian than what God initially gave? What was and remains Jesus's point? What is the reptilian brain versus the vastly higher human brain with its cerebral cortex and frontal and temporal lobes and specific areas of altruistic sentiments and abilities? What are those higher areas before they are damaged, before the communication pathways to them and between them are diminished by evil that is always some form of abuse? How are those pathways reestablished or created where they never were in this fleshly life?
The snake lays its eggs. The eggs hatch. The snake parent doesn't nurture or raise the offspring. It's every snake for itself. Human parents and family are not designed to be that way. Humans hand down the learning of nurturing. Many people get better training than do others, and many people have a greater aptitude for learning and predisposition for the higher and highest virtues. Many are less abused. People can change for the better and best though, no matter where the starting point. They only can't if they don't — if they reject it.
Snakes, of course, also come in venomous varieties and in strangling varieties, etc., such that they have been attackers and even devourers of humans for eons, guilty and innocent alike.
Now, Jesus knew that most people could relate to what were, and still are, largely considered "good" parenting skills and "good" "family" relations. He regularly used those concepts to get people to consider the wider implications for the whole of humanity. He did know that many would refuse. He let them go. He didn't demand secular or false-religion legislation to rein them in with threats of violence and imprisonment. He was not and is not coercive. Even his Church is a voluntary place to be.
What he still teaches (through the written words in the New Testament and as those connect with the Old and also teaches through the Holy Spirit he definitely sent as he said he would) is, among many other things, that "good" is vastly better than has been commonly accepted and that real "family" is everyone left after all the rest have rejected the higher and highest good. He raised the standards far above the Old Testament and far above the "modern" standard.
The American Empire and the American people in general aren't even touching the hem of his garment, let alone even attempting to stand upright and side-by-side with him.
I point out that Jesus was, and is, a Real Liberal Christian. He is the one who brought back this censored truth that is the light. After he had spoken it and lived it and was murdered for doing so, the censors set about to re-censor it and did. They couldn't put it out though — couldn't completely extinguish the truth. I wouldn't be saying it now again with all credit to God, just as Jesus, if they had been able to completely block it.
I point out that each of those terms ("real," "liberal," and "Christian," along with "Church") are actually redundant terms — synonyms that are so close that they become one. The term "liberal" here is not the common usage, which common usage is a deliberate corruption of the term. There is no harm in real liberalism. There is no vileness in it. There is only beneficence. "Real" may be understood as the opposite of false-hearted, dark side, and dead of the Holy Spirit. Christian is both real and liberal in those senses. To arrive at living, doing, being those full senses requires what Jesus lives, does, and is in the highest. Finally, the Church is the whole.
Who are they who want to drag it down, censor it, work against it, lessen it, ignore it, etc.? Well, who sides with Jesus and who sides against him? Did the serpents side with him then? Do they now?
We call war-mongers "hawks." We call "peacemakers" blessed and "doves." Why do the hawks not take offense at "hawks" but do take offense at "serpents"? "Hawks" is not yet as telling to the general public, but I must tell you that all hawks are serpents. Why do some say, "Greed is good" but take offense at "serpents"? I tell you there is no difference between the selfish and the serpents. Why do people take offense at serpents when they do not take offense at homosexuality? I tell you the homosexual spirit also comes out from the dark side. It is a choice. It is harmful. Many are abused with it. Many never overcome it. Their very brain matter is transformed by it. Then they claim it is good when it remains confusion and definitely wrong and harmful.
Many arguments were put forth in support of tolerance. I understood that Jesus "tolerated," as in he did not execute wrath but rather told the truth and let the blind follow the blind (blind to the truth) into the ditch of their own making. I have watched while the movement has been corrupted into condoning what was once only to be tolerated. I have watched further while it has moved from condoning to promoting even to the youngest children to get to them before the truth does. I have seen evil at work, and I sound the alarm. I face censorship and other negative reactions for it.
As the American Empire claims to be a light to the world, it murders innocent babies by Hellfire missiles fired from predator drones controlled by armchair, video-gaming serpents in uniform. It tortures those who are not even suspects. It spies on its own without even probable cause or reasonable suspicion. It lies its way into wars for spoils and control. It neglects its poor, whom it treads down for the sakes of the superrich — for the sake of the massive flow of mammon from the bottom up (no trickledown — trickledown is a farce and always has been). All is claimed to be okay in America though — that America is headed in the right direction — because soon, even "don't tell, don't ask" will be a thing of the quaint past and homosexuals may be able to sleep together and have sex in the barracks with the "blessing" of the Empire while they practice murdering the innocent for the sake of homosexual, greedy plutocrats who own them and who, in turn, are owned by the dark-side spirit named by God and Jesus as Satan.
Whose side are you on? I speak truth to warn. I don't tell the secular government what to do other than occasionally to say what at least would be less hypocritical within their fallen, unenlightened system. I do so for spiritual reasons. What I want is the Christian Commons.
Now, if you submit a comment:
What you write here against the Real Liberal Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ will mark you in the Biblical sense unless you show that you have turned and are repenting in time to escape the damnation of your own choosing. That's the way of it. Don't be tempted by the devil to stand opposed to the call of righteousness. Overcome such evil temptation. Help others to help yet others to come to righteous behavior through-and-through.
Check out how even after reading this, people will still take it out of context and twist it to an evil end.
