WHO CAN YOU BELIEVE IN?

There is just too much chaos today to get all the information in one posting. Thom Hartman is talking about all the other government bail outs of people and corporations that is going on. Either the tax payers will have to pay for all these bail outs now, or else our children and grandchildren will have to pay for them. Governor Swartzenegger is in the news afresh now because he plans to veto the hard fought and heavily wrangled over state budget hammered out by our state legeslature. Even though the current bill contains no borrowing, and the dreaded one cent sales tax is not included, still Swartzenegger plans to veto this bill because it over-withholds people's state incom taxes, and it also dips into the "rainy day fund" for reasons our governor does not consider valid. What this means is that even if the democrats should successfully override the veto- - Swartzenegger still says he plans to veto every other spending bill associated with this budget bill so that our state government will be in a state of continuous chaos. As such there are moves afresh to recall this governor, the same way we recalled Governor Gray Davis before him.

There are certain economic statistics the media isn't telling us. I've heard from one source on the radio that our federal budget deficet is now projected to be over five hundred billion for this year. I never heard that. Certainly such a high figure should be a fair topic for our current political debate as to whether we should raise or lower taxes. Another statistic I've still never heard is the one that says we have spent two consecutive down quarters as far as corporate earnings is concerned. So far they will not even acknoledge that the G N P has gone down one bit. The government is still calling what we're in as a "slow down" rather than a full blown recession. I would only imagine that somewhere down the line before November the truth about this economy has to come out. If you looking for economic advice from me right now, my advice is to buy Gold because I think you'll find todays rates will turn out to be a bargain looking back from a year from now. If the democrats want to play a little dirty all they have to do is play the fear card and say "If the Republicans get elected your social security and medicare coverage is in grave jeopardy". There are so many old people who vote, as well as those near retirement, certainly accusing Mc Cain of wanting to privitize health coverage and social security are safe cards to play.

What they are saying now is that oil prices will continue to decline till the day after the November election, and from that day on, President elect Mc Cain will laugh in everyone's face as prices climb to new highs. There is talk that the "trooper gate" scandal they are investigating now with Gov. Palin, will be put on hold till after the November election so that "bias" is not introduced into the campaign. Of course if the Republicans win the investigation will never be held. Now I hear that Palin was lying about something else. She's saying something went wrong with the tele-prompter during her concention speech. Now the democrats are saying the tele-prompter was working just fine and that she made the whole thing up.

Thom Hartman reminds is that "the surge in Iraq is working" because we are paying people in Anwar privince not to shoot at us, but "If we don't get out of the country soon they're going to start shooting at us again anyhow". Meanwhile in Pakistan they have said they will not allow U S incursions over the Pakistani border in pursuit of Al Qaida. Meanwhile there was that Sixty Minutes feature that stated that the Afghanis hate the United States now more than they hated Russian troops who occupied their country because of all the people we have wantonly killed, and that the Russians were more humane. I'm just saying that the perverbial "rug" we are shoving everything under, is getting mighty lumpy. One wonders when there is a day of reconing when all the dirty secrets of the Bush Adminestration will come to light.

OK folks, I think I've found the loophole I was looking for in my prayer to God last May 23rd. I was going to reproduce the text here but let's just say one line that struck my fancy was "We need Obama nominated so as to give the American people a real choice in November". I thought if the American People had a choice they would go for Obama in droves. God proved me wrong. God made a fool of me. Part of my deal with God was to defend and preach Christianity and to defend anyone who calls themself a Christian whether I liked them or not. Let me ask you something. Do you believe God knows what is in our hearts? Despite text on a page, do you think God was smart enough to know "what I meant" by my saying I wanted to be involved in the preaching of Christianity and defending it? Jesus on the radio once said "If there is a church filled with flakes and hypocrites, you should join it and change it for the better" - - and perhaps lend it credibility. My hope and prayer was that if I were involved in the preaching of Christianity, I could preach it right and not from the corrupt motives of others. But how can my voice compete with Sarah Palin? Millions upon millions of people see her and her life and her phoney veneer and hypocricy and lack of believability. How can a "vessel" like her restore credibility to Christianity? She is making things worse at a far faster rate than any blog of mine could hope to make things better. People will look at her life and deeds and conclude "I knew Christians were a bunch of flakes and Sarah Palin is my proof". Can I not come back to God and accuse him of malfeasence or "bad faith" in executing my prayer?

Much of what we know about Catholic Popes including Pope Pious I, who was the nineth pope, comes to us from a book compiled in the middle ages called "The history of the Popes" (in Latin) As such the excommunacation date of Martion at 144 AD is probably from this book written centuries later, some say by Jerome. We know now that not only is "The Christmas story" omitted from Marcion's scripture, but also any reference to the second coming of Christ. I find this amazing. Could my own "theatrical fantasy" of weeks ago be truer than I dared believe? That the "second coming" portions of scripture were about someone besides Jesus who spoke of The Son of Man in the 3rd Person, perhaps John the Baptist? One of these passages I have always been fond of. Where there is the saga of the unfaithful survant, who eats, drinks, and parties and doesn't do his job but instead beats up and mistreats his fellow survants. What will the son of man do with such a survant when he comes? How would Mc Cain stack up here? (Let us meditate on this truth now- - - )

I have believed there is a Rat on the premises here. Someone hired by my brother of the female perswasion. I won't narrow it down further than that, who reports everything I do such that when I talk to my brother he is forearmed with a version of "the truth" told by someone else, whom he believes more than me. People from the Federation such as Stewart Sutcliffe say this person is culpable, and not to trust her or give her any amunition. When you suspect a Rat, their every action and glance you view in a different light- - "forearmed" with what they are really thinking.
