* One World Government *

   The UN cannot supply peace.  Concentration of power in one unaccountable place guarantees continuation of war.  Godly freedom lovers will rise up.  The UN, run (largely) by thugs, is trying to rebuild the Tower of Babel - & will get it. 

   We do not need a one world government -- we have one, & the One World Governor is already chosen: Jesus, King of kings & Lord of lords.   We do not need one controlling civil / military power, we need many nations under the sovereignty of the King of kings.  Not 'til then shall we see peace.

JULY 2008

7.3   Why We are Free  --- Dave Jeffers on 4th of July -- a tribute to the God of Hosts...   By the grace of God, we are slowly returning to a true understanding of America, and a true celebration of our Sovereign King on the 4th of July. 

7.2   ** THE GREATEST THREAT FACING AMERICA -- by Bobby Franklin, Georgia House of Representatives.  YES!  Read it.   Commentary by E. Fox.    See also "Conservative Collapse" on the depth of our disaster   

        Violent Mexican Military Intrusions into the US -- This is an appalling state of affairs.   It demands Congressional impeachment and prosecution of President Bush. 

        The Jerusalem Declaration -- from GAFCON  in Jerusalem, potential breakaway from the Anglican Communion.  They would do better to attend the Lambeth Conference in England under the Archbishop of Canterbury, and stay united with other orthodox Anglicans.  We are in a winnable battle IF we do not let the Enemy (again) divide and conquer. 

        The Relevant Muslims --  a German's reflections on Islam today.  On target.  E. Fox  

JUNE 2008

6.30   A Conversation with Justice Scalia -- with Charles Rose Interviewing  (U-Tube).   Justice Scalia, who styles himself as an "originalist", sticking to the original language of the Constitution, is only partly "conservative", and does not visibly allow his Christian (Roman Catholic) religion to "interfere" with his judicial activities, especially on the "life vs. abortion" issue. 
         By his own words, he is NOT the conservative we have been led to believe.  He is NOT a seriously conservative constitutionalist, he is NOT really pro-life.   
        The interview is very well done, Rose does a good job of pulling things out of Scalia.  A very engaging hour.  But a sad commentary on the role of his Christian faith in one of our most important leaders. 
        Either we Christians learn how to articulate our faith reasonably and gracefully in public (emphatically on Biblical government), or the Church will continue in the backwaters of Western Civ.  And Western Civ. will continue downhill into oblivion and totalitarian paganism.  The homosexualized version will be mindlessly totalitarian to a degree only rarely seen in Western history.  A politics focused on feel-good rather than truth will always become totalitarian. 
        Is this what you want for your children and grand-children?   Do you want them to have to fight the battle for honest freedom which you and I should have fought already, at much less cost than they will have to pay???      E. Fox.  

           ** A Letter to James Dobson - Focus on the Family  ---  on conservative collapse & Judicial vs. Executive tyranny...   E. Fox 

          ** Make Your Body a Living Sacrifice --  Sermon by Earle Fox at St. Luke's REC Church, Santa Anna, CA  

         Summer a deadly time along U.S.-Mexico border
The Border Patrol's McAllen Sector — which starts in the
Rio Grande Valley and includes a huge swath of territory that hugs the Gulf Coast — reports already finding 67 bodies in the first nine months of this fiscal year.  That compares to 61 for all of 2007.  Even more horrific than the figure itself is that the deadliest months of the year — July and August — are still to come. Other Border Patrol sectors didn't yet have June death totals compiled.   http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5859345.html 
        See http://www.capsweb.org/ for excellent updates on illegal immigration.  

           ** Remaking Anglicanism -- & Western Civ.     E. Fox commentary.   How helpful will 3rd World Christians be in helping Western Christians out of their mess?  Only in a limited way. 

6.25   Slaughter of the Innocents continues apace -- and no candidate for President says a peep.  That is betrayal of all life, including yours and mine.   If one person is not safe, no one is safe.  There is one and only one legitimate position for Christians -- pro-life.    E. Fox. 

         Letter to Mitt Romney from Pro-Family Leaders -- pointing to his lying and deception about homosexual marriage.  Romney is guilty of a felony crime -- enforcing the rewriting of marriage certificates without legal authority.    Romney should be tried for his crimes. 
        NOTE: Many of these Pro-Family leaders later backed out and supported Romney, despite his betrayal of every principle of honesty, morality, of marriage, and of America.  
        GO TO WWW.UNDERGROUNDJOURNAL.NET and read several other articles by well versed persons on Romney.  It is an appalling situation which is being repeated in California under Schwarzenegger.  And ignored by perhaps a majority of so-called conservative leadership. 

         Muslim, Homosexualist, & Globalist.... cooperation -- Three totalitarians in bed with one another.   How long will this bizarre relationship last? 

         Heinz Pushes Homosexual "Marriage" on advert.  So, let's no longer buy Heinz products...   E. Fox. 

6.24  The Way Forward in California on Homosexual Marriage"  --  Gregg Jackson...   The people need to know that "Prop 22 defining marriage between one man and one woman is still the law of California, and that the changes to the marriage certificates illegally authorized by Schwartzenegger, are legally null and void."     
        Governor Schwarzenegger MUST be recalled and/or impeached for the felony crime of rewriting marriage certificates with no statutory authority.    

         5 Judicial Myths - Refuted -- courtesy of David Barton.    See also Conservative Collapse -- failure of religious conservative leaders to understand the myth of "judicial review". 

         Obama - strong supporter of Homosexuality -- a compulsive, lethal addiction for most persons who practice that lifestyle.  The evidence for that claim is open, public, and clear.   And here is how to counter it.  
        Question for those who support homosexuality:  If the above description of homosexuality were shown to be true, would that make any difference to your opinion?   If you were wrong, would you want to know?  

         ** Judicial Review & Marbury vs. Madison -- article on the case which generated the tragic move to Judicial Review, the authority of the Supreme Court to decide what the Constitution means.  So far as I can figure, the Court granted itself that authority, it did not ask the people or either of the other two branches of government whether it had such sole authority. 
        We MUST force a recall of Governor Schwarzenegger for the felony crime of rewriting marriage certificates with no legal authority.      E. Fox. 

6.18  ** Betrayal by Pseudo-Conservative Leadership -- It is worse than I had thought...   The loyal remnant (those who value truth and our constitutional freedoms) is now very small minority.   Read the unassailable evidence right in the Massachusetts Constitution.  The Courts are NOT the Big Problem, it is the legislators who will not stand up, and executives who desire power and control.  We have far worse executive activism than judicial.  To my astonished surprise, we ought to be going after the executive branch of our governments rather than the judicial.    E. Fox.

          ** Letter to Beverly LaHaye at Concerned Women for America -- the abortion and homosexuality problem is executive (not judicial) activism.

         Depravity in Massachusetts --  tax funded, and government protected.  Coming too your neighborhood as soon as homosexual advocates can arrange it.   I kid you not.   E. Fox. 

         The California Constitution -- and homosexual "marriage" 

6.15   ** We, the People continues to find government absolutely resistant to being held accountable under the First Amendment and the of the people to petition the government for redress against a grievance.   A story of established (not coming) tyranny, already in control.  With much worse to come.  UNLESS we, the people, stand up and let them understand -- Not with our country, you don't!   Are you ready?      E. Fox  

          ** Objectives, Strategy, & Tactics -- Why (and how) Christians MUST get their priorities straight....  E. Fox 

          ** Vigorous Fellowship in the Body of Christ --  How do we speak the hard truth in love to one another?     E. Fox  

          Freemarket Capitalism vs. Senate Restaurants....

          Freemarket Capitalism vs. Greens captivity of Oil Drilling...   Would this idea work??? 

6.11   Kung Fu Panda (& the Day the Slacker Died...)  --  One More Reason Why America is dying. 

          Illegal Attack on Family -  Dr. Ted Baehr --  A powerful defense of Biblical marriage vs. civil government control.  The role of civil government is to administer the laws God has already given us, it has no authority to invent its own.  

         http://www.lifesitenews.com/ -- a super Catholic website, mainly on Life issues, but others also. 

6.10   More on ILLEGALITY of Homosexual Marriage in Massachusetts.   Read this!  The Governors of both Massachusetts and California are standing in violation of the law and of their sworn oaths to obey the laws and constitutions of their states. 

          Gregg Jackson's letter to the LA Times -- on (MA) Romney and (CA) Schwarzenegger's felony crimes of rewriting marriage certificates without legal authority.

          How Mitt Romney Brought Same Sex Marriage to America --  Robert Paine -- It will change how you view the whole pseudo-conservative movement.  

          Oh, Stalinoid Canada -- by James Lewis --   

          Canada's HCRs  - (Human Rights Commissions)    June 6, 1944 --  On the 64th anniversary of the Allied Invasion of Normandy, liberty loving Canadians are alarmed that their so-called Human Rights Commissions (HRCs) are being run by tin-pot Gauleiters who are busily stifling and punishing all forms of non-PC speech.  
        See -- The meaning of 'treason' --  & Cicero on traitors within the gates...   
        AMERICA IS JUST A DECADE OR SO BEHIND THE MIND-CONTROL NOW OPERATING IN CANADA.   WAKE UP AMERICA!

          ** An Amended First Amendment - disestablishing education -- .  An established education is as destructive of freedom as an established Church.   Some things (such as religion and education) should never, never, never be coerced (i.e., controlled by civil government).    E. Fox  

          Games, Children, & Death -- telling children when they should die....     The obscene use of the "carbon footprint..."  

6.03  ** What is Freemarket Capitalism?   E. Fox  

         ** Happiness, Sexual Perversion, & the Declaration of Independence --  by Peter LaBarbera -- A Sewer of Behavior --  Test your ability to deal with hard-core issues, in this case sexuality.   How would you respond to Mr. Frank Kameny?  Most people will not engage the issues.  And most who do  are incapable of putting forth a compelling response. 
        We had better get prepared, because we are headed for a sewer of behavior all across America.  And hardly a single public figure can stand up with truth and grace.   How about you?  We have only ourselves to blame if we let our own prudery, cowardice, and deliberate ignorance hold open the doors for this disaster.   In a healthy society, falsehood and evil are addressed immediately. 
        Kameny is dead wrong about the Declaration of Independence supporting his cause.  Could you say why?   Commentary by E Fox. 

         Watch this before it is taken off the internet -- a rousing conversation (well, really monologue) between an Arab (I think) woman and a Muslim supporter.   The woman raises many good points, but her attitude makes her monologue into just one tyranny ranting against another.   Also, she is wrong -- the beliefs of people are the business of other people.  Ideas have consequences because we choose our values and loyalties (or not) by what we believe.  We choose the laws we want coercively enforced on each other by what we believe.  What religion and worldview you think to be true matters to your neighbor. 
        The trick is to maintain and honor the public space as a level playing field upon which truth can be objectively and gracefully debated.   That rules out both the Muslim approach and hers as well, despite that I would agree with much of what she said -- mostly about Islam.   E. Fox

6.02  ** Truth in Politics -- on the failure of our "conservative" leadership -- almost across the board...   Especially in sexuality issues. 

         Rabbi Dennis Prager on Homosexual "Marriage" --  We have, coming from California, a disaster of major proportions staring us in the face.  And what is our so-called "conservative" leadership going about it?  Where is the Church?  

         Will the North American Union be American Patriots' Last Stand? -- Edwin Vieira --  superb Constitutional scholar explains the legal status of the Declaration of Independence
        Pursuit of the North American Union is, in my humble opinion,  nothing short of high treason -- a criminal attempt to subvert the sovereignty of the United States. 

         The Declaration of Independence -- see comment by Laura Engels Wilder comment at end....   See also magnificent explanation and defense of the Declaration by Edwin Vieira 

         Carbon Chastity -- by Charles Krauthammer --  More on the absurdity of the Global Warming speculations. 

         And Watch - Listen to this -- Battle Hymn of the Republic --  

         Executive "Pro-Homosexual" Tyranny in CA -  Gov. Schwarzenegger says he will alter marriage licenses -- when he has no legislative or constitutional authority to do so.  
 

MAY 2008

5.28   (No-Fault) Divorce - Feminism's Crowning Achievement --  Rick Scarborough     This attack on marriage is one of the great issues of our time.  It is an attack on the Image of God -- in which we are made, male and female. 

          31,000 Scientists reject Global Warming --  "Mr. Gore's movie has claims no informed expert endorses."  't'pears like the Global Warming "event" is turning out to be the Global Scam of the Millennium. 

          The Question of Global Warming - by Freeman Dyson.   Wow!  quite a new approach, with some totally new (to me at least) science.  Well worth the read....    See also 2nd article:  Sacrificing to the Climate Gods.    E. Fox  

          Czech President Klaus ready to debate Gore on climate change -- 

5.21   ** The "Ordered Freedom" Amendment --  (see also the meaning of "Freedom")   Understanding the nature of freedom is absolutely essential to either spiritual or political renewal and freedom.   E. Fox

          The Case against condoms and for chastity is clear and unassailable.  But that does not stop persons who want to be able to kill babies from saying otherwise.  They want the abortion business.  These people are evil-minded, and need to be told so.  E. Fox.

          'Exodus' From California Schools --  a Call from  Exodus Mandate, Phyllis Schlafly, and a Coalition of Christian and Pro-family Organizations 

          NARTH Responds -- to APA's objections to treatment of homosexuality.  (pdf file)  Both APA's (Psychiatric and Psychological) have abandoned science for dishonest politicizing.  They are supposed to be the watchmen in the towers to warn us of threats to our health.  But they have seriously betrayed the American public.  They are guilty of the deaths of many persons who have contracted AIDS and many other sexually transmitted diseases, and thus and are no longer to be believed unless supported by independent witness.  Both APA's ought to be sued for malpractice. 

          ** The Quigley Formula or the Jesus Formula?   the Biblical response to the "conspiracy" all about us.    E. Fox 

          Astronomy - Pictures of the Day --  every day a new picture of the cosmos is put up with explanation.  Put it on your Favorites list....!    Show your children....  

5.19   Ron Paul WIN???  (pdf file)--  a very looong shot, with lots of places to stumble -- but truth is always worth the effort.  As Whittaker Chambers said, a man makes his decisions on what is right, not on what is probable.  Ron Paul will "probably" not win the nomination.  But that is irrelevant.  Work for the man who most fully presents the truth.  Otherwise, truth will never have an honest and full testimony in the public arena.  And that is betrayal of our Great Commission
        Chambers was remarking in 1938 to his wife, as they left the Communist Party to pursue a Christian life, that he thought they were leaving the winning side for the losing side.  He knew the power of the Communist movement, but saw no serious spiritual leadership in the Christian community.  Yet he knew what God was telling him.  And he knew in 1938 already that Communism was indeed the Evil Empire.  One needs only to expand that to include any centralization of civil government to see the real issue before us today.  Either Jesus is Lord, or civil government will be lord -- a new Tower of Babel. 

          Cutting the Lethal Wire - Pictures  --  Camp Vigilance near Boulevard, CA, on the Mexican border, about 50 miles east of San Diego, where I go once a month for a Minuteman muster.    The "other side" is vicious, mostly the drug runners, not the illegal aliens. 

         Same-Sex Marriage NOT Legal in Massachusetts.   NOR IN CALIFORNIA.   Much deceit and dishonesty on the part of homosexuality advocates.  Stop letting them get away with it!   They need our apathy to succeed! 

         2nd Amendment - helps create a safe and peaceable environment -- says a Brit correspondent. 

         Agri-Processors -- a blight on the land....  Illegal alien smuggling.   Another ugly side of the story...

         Alan Keyes -- Amazing speech on the American borders --   God bless Alan Keyes....    

         John McCain for President?   McCain was more than a hero during the Vietnam War, especially during his time in prison.  But he has lost any sense of the spiritual war in which we are engaged, so that I cannot support him.  If the looong shot which Ron Paul has (see pdf file above) does not work, I will vote for Chuck Baldwin who is running in the Constitution Party.   
        See also http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2008/cbarchive_20080516.html -- Chuck Baldwin more on McCain's positions. 

5.14  ** WITNESS - by Whittaker Chambers...   Chambers is one of the heroes of the 20th century -- leaving the Communist underground to expose the Communist infiltration, standing almost alone through severe Congressional investigations, and writing a stunning book to tell the story....  He understood the spiritual warfare in which he was engaged better than almost anyone of the time.   Reading WITNESS is like reading the Lord of the Rings in real time.     E. Fox 

          Polar bears NOT endangered -- a response to more junk science.   Who benefits from junk science?  who benefits from distorting information essential to the public welfare? 

          Is "Organic" better?  Not according to a UK study....    Take a look at environmental expert Rob Johnston's article.  More junk science???

          How the Mass. Legislature Spends its Funds --  $3/4 Mil. for perversion of youth.  Has it gotten bad enough for you, dear American public, to do something about it? 

          YES!  Michigan Supreme Court bans same-sex marriages!    The states are where protection of marriage should take place, not the federal government.  We do not want to put any more than we have to under federal jurisdiction.  In the Federal Constitution we should put something relating the constitution to the Declaration of Independence, thus relating it to our Biblical worldview and reestablishing our obedience to the law of God (see William Blackstone). 

          CALIFORNIA next, headed for epic "marriage" battle...   Talk to your representatives!!!   Gracefully and directly.  

5.09   Trash on the Border -- from Fox News -- If this was your back yard, would you complain???  Much of it is someone's back yard, those who live right on the border.    

          The Biblical Vision regarding Women's Ordination --  The Rev. Rodney Whitacre, a solid essay on a controversial issue.  Rod Whitacre is right on target.   E. Fox.   See also the Women's Ordination Library.  

          Why Students "Drop Out"....    Would you believe Depression....??? 

          The True Face of Muslims...???   A Gallup poll.... of Muslim thinking. 

          Former Dire Predictions -- global cooling, end of oil, gas, etc. 

          Environmentalist-caused environmental disasters....  Wouldn't you know....?   

          Is Homosexuality Inborn or Acquired?   --   Robert Gagnon, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary -- great article.  

5.06   Eminent Psychiatrist Says Homosexuality is a Disorder that Can be Cured LifeSiteNews  That is no surprise.  Before homosexuality got politicized, everyone was saying that they could change, on both sides of the fence.  Then they discovered that people felt sorry for them if they were genetically or otherwise "compelled" to do it.  "My genes made me do it..."   Etc.  The problem is the cowardly conservatives who will not stand up and force the discussion on homosexual behavior and its terrible consequences.  
        How about you....???   See evidence and strategy.   Print them up and pass them out like popcorn.   For pdf ready to print, go to evidence & strategy

          US Sovereignty Upheld by Supreme Court vs. UN.   

          Slavery, Terrorism, & Islam --  Peter Hammond's new book on the front-line realities of Islam around the world.  Not a pretty picture. s

          Earliest Biblical stories built into Chinese language --  Believe it or not....     E. Fox  

          "EXODUS REVEALED"  - a stunning archeological video report on where the Exodus event actually happened, with solid empirical evidence for the crossing of the Red Sea.  Available from .  This is one of the best examples of Christians doing their scientific homework I have run into -- with the predictable results -- success!  Deo Gratia!!!  
            Go to http://www.amazon.com/Exodus-Revealed-Searching-Red-Crossing/dp/B00005AUE2  or http://www.questarhomevideo.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?Search=Yes 

          Victor Davis Hanson on Iraq -- not as glum as we are told, he says.  I think he is right.  "In his latest desperate rant, a suddenly “green” Zawahiri was reduced to appealing to environmentally conscious Muslims to fault the United States for our supposed culpability for global warming!  No wonder polls across the Middle East show a sharp decline in support for his boss, Osama bin Laden." 

          Peter Hitchens from the UK on the slavery into which we in the West are voting ourselves, and out out from which we will not be able to vote ourselves. 

          CHUCK BALDWIN for PRESIDENT -- CONSTITUTION PARTY CANDIDATE.   Perhaps the beginning of a new era in America....
 

APRIL 2008

4.28   The Continuing Collapse  #7 -  by Bruce Shortt.   More of the insanity of our government dys-education.  Much of it right from my back yard in the LA County schools....   Friends, this is not an accident.  It is UnIntelligent Design.    E. Fox 

          Continuing Collapse   #8  -- Is American public education a form of child abuse?  Mark Steyn, et al.  

4.25   Darwin & Hitler ---  Natural allies.  Commentary on the new film -- "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" on the Evolution vs. Intelligent Design debate. 

          England eradicated off the map -- to form the EU....   Don't believe it??  Take a look.   Coming soon to your neighborhood to form the AU (American Union).   This is deliberate subversion of local autonomy and identity, to create an isolated and atomized population -- i.e., a controllable population. 

          Do you understand the health risks of homosexual behavior???  The FDA (!!!) does.  Of course, they do not mean anyone to take seriously that we ought to vigorously contest the "gay" movement...  

          Free to Change Your Religion??  from Islam??  --  One brave soul stands up...  

          ** We, the People continues to find government absolutely resistant to being held accountable.  A story of established (not coming) tyranny, already in control.  With much worse to come.  UNLESS we, the people, stand up and let them understand -- Not with our country, you don't!   Are you ready?      E. Fox  

4.16   Judge fines couple $6000 for not photographing lesbian "wedding".   Coming to your neighborhood soon.  What are you doing about it?  Do you care that truth, righteousness, and people are being trampled? 

          Comprehensive Response to American Psychological Assn's Rejection of Treatment of Homosexuality -- from NARTH (National Assn. for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality).   A NARTH fact sheet.  The facts are, and have been for a long time, abundantly clear. 

          Chinese Olympics and Persecution of Christians - Rutherford Institute - John Rutherford, Godly legal scholar. 

          The American Legion on Illegal Immigration ---

          ** Pope's Remarks at Whitehouse -- good but bland.  Christians must learn how to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in public.  Read it and see what you think....  If we cannot say that Jesus is Lord in public, we will never be able to take the offensive, and will be always on the defensive.  As Napoleon said, "The logical end of defensive warfare is surrender".   That is what we Christians have been doing.  Time to be obedient to the Great Commission....      E. Fox with commentary. 

4.15   Ballroom Dancing and Gender Roles -- Fr. David Baumann     (Yea and Amen... E. Fox) 

          Ben Stein's Intelligent Adventure -- by Kate Wright in American Thinker.   I have not seen this movie on Darwinism vs. Intelligent Design, but the review is tantalizing.  E. Fox 

4.12    So, you want socialized medicine, do you?   See what it is like in Canada if you need brain (or any other) surgery: http://www.freemarketcure.com/brainsurgery.php    Government is good at only a very few things (health care is not one of them), like being referee for the public arena, and then only when kept under constant vigilance by the real governors, the people under God.  

          Mikhail Gorbachev says he is a Christian  -- wonder what that will lead to???  Maybe he has gotten off the Globalist bandwagon...???

          If I die before you wake -- from a soldier in Iraq. 

4.11   An 11-day Motherboard/Software Saga -- About 2 weeks ago (3/31/08), I tried Registry Booster, a software for cleaning up your Windows Registry, and it caused severe problems (beware of people who think they can fix your registry - several of my applications stopped working). 
        In the process of fixing that, restoring the whole C: harddrive from a backup file (a long story not worth telling), the Motherboard BIOS got corrupted.  It was an old Mb, and the BIOS was not "flashable", so I got a new one which runs much faster.  But then when I tried to restore again from the same backup files (of which I had about ten on a different harddrive, going back several months), it turned out that all the backup files but one, the earliest (with just XP and a few applications on it), had gotten corrupted also.  All this took several days to get straightened out, but with Acronis tech support (the backup software can be found at www.acronis.com - highly recommended, especially "Workstation" with "Universal Restore"), things gradually got back in shape, and my harddrive is just about completed again with all software reinstalled (about a 3-day job). 
        Lesson:  backup, backup, backup -- on a different harddrive.  I did, but even then, "the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray..." (Thank you Robert Burns -- I think).   The Lord has used such events with my computer more than once to test my patience and trust in Him, and to teach me that I can stand even when the world seems to be crashing -- on my head.  Deo Gratia!   Back in the saddle again...!  More fully committed to Jesus... 
        He keeps reminding me that He has me right where I need to be to do my growing.   Yikes!  But knowing that will turn any event, no matter how bad, into a growing situation rather than a disaster.   Spiritual warfare...  is for turning the tide back against the Enemy, whose primary weapons are deceit and self-condemnation (vs. Jesus' primary weapons -- truth, forgiveness, and salvation).   With Jesus, there is nothing that can make you lose.  You, in the end, always win through to stability and sanity and purpose.  Most of spiritual warfare is fought in the trenches of one's own personal life.  If we do not win there, we will not win in the larger public arena.  

        Powerful rally for Sally Kern at OK Statehouse, standing firm on homosexual issues and for freedom for Christians to speak their views -- with truth and grace.   Watch the UTube version on the website. 

        Syphilis Rates Skyrocket in San Diego -- reported by San Diego News at http://www.gaylesbiantimes.com/?id=11922 .  Why are they skyrocketing?  Because homosexual persons are falling back again into their addictive condition and exchanging body fluids in their sexual behavior with infected persons. 

        Why Do They Love US?    from an Aussie soldier on his American counterparts in Iraq.  
        Yes, the American soldiers on the ground are the best ambassadors for America, not the politicians, most of whom have lost contact with real life on the ground.   That graceful personhood so often shown by our soldiers has to be a percolating up of our almost buried Biblical foundations.   Gloria Dei!
        Pray for the day when Christians in general will come to have that reputation!  And begin with #1. 

        New Mexico Human Rights Commission orders $6000 fine for Christian photographer who refused to take pictures of homosexual wedding.   Coming to your neighborhood soon.  What are you doing about it?  
        What kind of "human right" are they talking about?   What would you say if it were you being fined?  Would you have enough knowledge, wisdom, & gumption to stand your ground?   Would you be able to speak the truth about homosexuality, and be able to go on the offensive?     See also
 

MARCH 2008

3.31   Deep Financial Doo Doo -- the Consumerist mentality --  How to turn that tide..  http://www.sharesavespend.com/   
        Here is a website to visit if you are concerned about the consumerist mentality which has taken over both our adult and child population.  We are being told (often indirectly) to "spend, spend, spend" by our politicians because it will "help the economy".  The website gives stats which suggest just the opposite.  A society which has next to no savings is in deep doo doo when troubles hit.  The consumerist mentality has been fed to us for several decades and it will take at least that long to get out.  It is one of the worst traps we can get into.   
        But there is a way out.  The website teaches you how to get a grip on your spending and have a saving/sharing mentality.  The program does not appear (at first glance, at least) to have a religious connection, but it seems that it would go well with a tithing attitude.  Following Jesus is the real way out.

          What does the Koran teach about Jihad?   (Update - see 3.27 below)  At this moment, the Google video site still has Fitna up (video on the violence of Islam).  But this site will probably also soon cave under pressure from the PC crowd.   The only hate that is expressed in the video are the words from the Quran and various Imams along with the vicious hateful acts of cruelty and violence upon the innocent, which was inspired by acting upon those words.

          The Apostate Episcopal Church and the UN Millennium Development Goals -- go to
http://www.ndxhound.org/discom/Shared%20Documents/MDGs.pdf   the MDGs have replaced the Great Commission and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Marxism in the Church of God...   

3.28   ** The Sword of the Spirit -- What is it?   E. Fox   ---   a MUST READ for every Christian....

          Parents of 166,000 California students could face criminal charges -- if recent ruling stands.  The state does NOT own the children.  But so long as God is kept out of the public arena, including politics, the state, run by control-minded subverters of truth, will work to make that claim, and it will in the long run succeed.   Prayer is not the problem in education, government is the problem.  Get government totally out of education.  Government education cannot be "fixed", it is inherently wrong and always drifts toward mind-control.  Education, like religion, should never, never, never be coerced.  Where are the millions of Christian fathers to protect their children???     See Education Library

          Better Together???   Only in holy matrimony, not in cohabitation -- by Michael McManus.   Will common sense take over America???  or not?!?   Hey, it's up to us --  WE, THE PEOPLE. 

          Sharia in Nigeria..   So, Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, you think Sharia law is innocuous???  It turns children into murderers. 

3.27   More on Pope baptizing Muslim -- from Thomas Haidon -- see third article: "The Conversion Heard 'Round the World"

          Like feeling a heartbeat....   Another conversion story -- this time of former atheist John C. Wright.  One of those beautiful, classic, and powerful conversion stories.  If you are out there wondering what it might be like to know God, read this.  Powerful. 

          What does the Koran teach about Jihad?  (See Update, 3.31 above) The controversial film by the Dutch filmmaker (about 15 minutes long) is posted on the link below….well worth watching -- if it hasn’t been hacked, or shut down due to pressure.  Network Solutions pulled it.  It is pretty graphic…..but every bit of it is truthful.    http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7d9_1206624103&p=1
        Some will say this is inaccurate.  But there is little among the so-called "moderates" which gives convincing evidence that Islam will change and oppose the radicals.  A few stand up, but as with other religions, most "moderates" just want to be left alone and not bother to fight the real battle. 
        The moderates will need prior firm evidence that the Judeo-Christian side means business militarily with the radicals, and more important, that we can win the propaganda war with truth and grace.  That is not yet happening, and there is little evidence that it will happen in the near future.  Western Christendom is apathetic, subverted from within, and intellectually, morally, and spiritually incompetent to fight the spiritual war in which we are engaged.   See Spiritual Warfare and Islam Libraries for strategies.

             UPDATE:  THE VIDEO WAS REMOVED FROM THE WEBSITE DUE TO THREATS AND DANGER TO THE LIVES OF STAFF.  WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SHARIA LAW.   WHEN WILL OUR SIDE GO ON THE OFFENSIVE TO DEAL WITH THIS NONSENSE??  SEE ISLAM LIBRARY FOR STRATEGY. 

3.26   ** the Black Hole of Relative PoMo Truth -- Nancy Pearcey & E Fox --  If you think government education is innocuous, read this.

          The Stranger......  Is there one in  your life??? 

          Pope Baptizes Muslim -- Two articles.  New Christian's life in danger.   He tells story of conversion.    Will the Pope and other Christians stand openly with Allam, who has put his life at risk to stand in public in his Christian faith, and gracefully and truthfully expose the deceit and violence of radical Islam for what it is???   Will moderate Muslims publicly support this man's free choice of religion, and openly condemn terrorism?  Who among us will put our lives at risk for the same precious freedom ordered under the law and grace of God?    That is the duty and calling of every Christian. 

          Shay Day -- What would you have done?  

          The "Rt. Rev." Paul E. Moore -- a travesty of personhood and leadership from which the Episcopal Church and the whole Anglican tradition must repent and recover -- and a sad example all too typical of so-called "spiritual" leadership.

          Global Warming (again...)  --  2 good articles on the honest science of the matter. 

         "If you do not believe in miracles, you are not a realist...!"  --  From a friend.  Yes,  indeed.   See PEG for a reasoned argument for the existence of God, a God of miracles.   The "cosmological" argument for God makes a valid and compelling case for the existence of God.  See especially Chapter II.

3.18   Christian Librarian Takes "Gay" Profs to Fed Court -- Deo Gratia!  Someone with back bone is standing up!  

          Immigration Flags -- UPsideDown -- in Montebello High School, Montebello, CA. 

3.17   Ron Paul's Health Care Reform Bill --  a link to Downsize DC, go to it and send a message to your legislators.  Health care costs are soaring because the prices are set by bureaucrats and lobbyists, instead of by competition in the free market.  
        STRATEGY NOTE from DownSizeDC: 
"It is very well understood how government grows, and why it is so difficult for taxpayers to protect themselves from the large-scale looting that goes on in Washington . . .     Government confers huge, concentrated benefits on select groups of people, while spreading the cost over all taxpayers.  The groups that benefit from government favors have large incentives to fight for those benefits, while taxpayers have small incentives to fight any particular instance of looting."  

3.15    WALKING TARGETS: How our Psychologized Classrooms Are Producing a Nation of Sitting Ducks --  new book by Beverly Eakman on government mind-control in the school room. 

3.12   The Epicycles of Global Warming --  James Lewis in American Thinker.  "When True Believers begin to harbor doubts, they don't immediately give up the faith. It's too scary; too much pride and money has been invested; too many jobs and reputations are on the line; and they need to find a new reason to live. So they always try to add on new wrinkles and qualifications to their crumbling story. Today that's happening with the global warming cult."  

         CA Judge ORDERS Homeschoolers into Govt. Schooling...   Get your children out of government schooling and stand firm!  The government does NOT own your children.  And the government has no legitimate interest at all in compulsory schooling -- any more than compulsory religion. 

       WEBSITES to support LEGAL Immigration --

3.06  The Case for Terrestrial (a.k.a. Nuclear) Energy  -- Fascinating article on nuclear energy.  Author William Tucker's talk written up in Imprimis, a free publication of Hillsdale College.  [If article does not appear, click on Imprimis Archive, and do search for "Terrestrial energy" or "William Tucker".] 

         Western Civilization, Our Tradition  --  link to James Kurth pdf file, and to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute  --  a powerful resource -- well worth visiting and revisiting.    These folks have it right -- Christendom is the only viable foundation for Western (or any other) civilization.  They have super DVD's for as low as $2, and they know how to argue the case. 

3.04  ** Why are Americans apathetic about Islam in America?  -- because we have been brainwashed and emotionally and morally neutered by our education system.  We have little fight left to stand up against our own destruction.  There are 7000 who have not bowed the knee to Baal, but it will be some time before they will make any significant difference, it appears. 

        Ron Paul Health Care Bill -- Yes!   Get government out of commerce, welfare, and education.  Totally.  Back to being the referee (not the nanny) for society.   From www.DownsizeDC.org.   

3.02  Stopping Illegal Immigration?  When are conservatives going to stop talking and start acting?   Frosty Woodridge 

         Civilization Depends on the Health of the Traditional Family --  Rod Dreher. 

FEBRUARY 2008

2.28   Schmoozing with Terrorists...  Interviews an Orthodox Jew has with Terrorists, who candidly tell their viewpoint and intentions. 

          Which is more dangerous, guns or doctors???  

2.25   Violence more common in Lesbian than Heterosexual relationships  -- and more common than in male homosexual relationships also (which above heterosexual relationship -- because women tend to be more emotionally compulsive). 

          GLOBAL "INCIDENTS" MAP   -- tracks, in (almost) real time, incidents as they occur around the globe.   Note that all the news is "bad" news, no good news reported.  Why are we so fascinated with evil and 'ho hum" at good?   It has, I think, to do with our apathetic, consumerist attitude, and our lack of hope for any substantial good, or ability to recognize it, and our capacity to be entertained by evil. 

2.22   Disrupting our Legal System with Sharia Law - by Michael Nazir-Ali, Anglican Bishop of Rochester, England. 

2.17   Secular Scandal of the Conscience - Jon Shields -- in Books & Culture.  Seems that being religious is the best predictor of being also charitable, and by a wide margin. 

          The Ron Paul Money Bill -- and the Meaning of Inflation --  by Jim Babka  at DownsizeDC.   See next item below on The Creature from Jekyll Island, i.e., the Federal Reserve. 

          The Creature from Jekyll Island -- G. Edward Griffin.   An excellent CD (good summary -- see also the book with much more detail) on the history and significance of the Federal Reserve.  Either we get rid of the Fed and the IRS, or we will find ourselves slaves on a fascist plantation with no way out.  We can vote ourselves into a tyranny from which we cannot vote ourselves out...  (If the link above does not work, go to www.realityzone.com and do a search.)   Also, go to the Politics Library and do a search for "Griffin". 

2.16   PEG Chapter V - Freewill & Causality" now online.  The Biblical worldview has its own unique understanding of freewill, how it is right at the foundation of all creation, and how that impacts all the rest of life, including salvation, politics, economics, education, and the whole of both the personal and public areas. 

          Beverly Eakman on Mind-Control in Education -- Eakman is one of the best researchers available on this subject.  If you think our government schools are about education rather than mind-control, go to her website
        The use of mind-control is a sure sign of spiritual warfare.  Satan is called the father, not of adultery, murder, or war, but of lies.  Deception is his primary and easily most powerful tool.  Persons to do mind-control are sold out to evil, and need to be confronted with the light of truth.  Evil cannot stand to live in the light, and, though we cannot stop all evil until Jesus comes back, we can make them head for the caves and hide under the rocks, and run them from the public arena. 

          New John Rankin Website --  his blog, and easy to remember -- http://www.johnrankin.org:80/   One of the best apologists around for the Christian faith. 

2.14   DVD on Homosexual activity in San Francisco, being sent to the Vatican for help in meeting this horrendous blasphemy.  Pray for these people, that they use wisdom and be steadfast, gracious to all, that hold to the truth of the Faith. 

          Exodus from California Schools -- Thank you, Gov. Terminator.  Glory be to God!  You may just be terminating the California school system --   Exodus Mandate, Phyllis Schlafly, and a Coalition of Christian and Pro-family Organizations Endorse Call for 'Exodus' From California Schools...  Watch now for the clampdown on Home Schoolers. 

2.12   ** Archbishop Williams argues for some aspects of Sharia law -- Many demanding his resignation...   Superb response by Dr Patrick Sookhdeo of the Barnabas Fund.       E Fox commentary. 

2.09   Emerging Anglican Covenant --   search for a new base for Anglican unity amidst disintegration.  St. Andrews Draft -- It looks good -- so far.  E. Fox

          Archbishop Rowan Williams & Scripture --  An assessment of the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury on Doctrine and Homosexuality. 

2.05   National Pro-Life Alliance  (NPLA) sponsors "Life at Conception" Act (H.R. 618)--  Call your Representative (202 224-3121) and and for his or her position on this.  It specifies that life begins at conception, effectively overturning Roe v. Wade.  Our Constitution guarantees protection of government for any person, and "Life at Conception" would be an official government acknowledgement that that is the case for infants in the womb. 
        It is much easier to get people to be pro-babies than to be anti-abortion.  Put the pressure on your Congressmen.  We have destroyed the lives of nearly 50,000,000 persons who are rightfully American citizens.  America has blood on its hands.  We MUST set this right before God and man. 

       Islam in our Schools  ???How can this be???   Mind-control...  Government-run schools....    GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT... 

- James Madison ---  If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad.    

2.02   Federal Court - horrific decision denying parents' case regarding teaching of homosexuality to children.  The state now claims to own our children.  Where are the fathers defending their families??? 

          ** Putting Truth ahead of God  --   Do we have a conflict here???  How does that compare with the Muslim view of God (Allah)?  E. Fox 

          The Charles Schultz "Peanuts" Philosophy -- 

          The Death of Free Speech --  How Our Broken National Dialogue Has Killed the Truth & Divided America  -- By John Ziegler   We now need to tell the story of how Jesus will restore the truth and raise up America as one of His servant nations.  E. Fox.

          Treason at the State Department -- a Whistle Blower's Story.  

          Your child on a school trip to buy condoms?   Well, yes, in some places.  Have you looked at your curriculum?  We have lost our capacity for outrage.  The fathers of our children have been spiritually castrated, and cannot rise up to protect their families.  OK, men, time for a change. 

          The Feds are trying to Steal Your Water -- Don't believe it?   Read this article on current legislation - H.R.2421, Sec. 5(1).   How much evidence do we need that there are conspiracies to take over America for the benefit of a centralized few, to put the rest of us on their government plantation?   Americans no longer understand the meaning of or the need for "limited" government.  We had better catch on before the noose is too tight to get off without armed resistance. 

          How America Went "Gay" -- Charles Socarides, MD   -- a clear and accurate brief history. 

2.01   The Face of Evil...   Speeches of hatred from the Muslim radicals.

JANUARY 2008

1.29   Is Revelation Propositional?  Does God reveal Himself in words or in actions and events only...? by Canon D.B. Knox, B.A., B.D., M.Th., D.Phil. Principal of Moore Theological College, Sydney, Australia.  Test your wits on this one.  Does Knox have a good argument, or would you side with The Authority of the Bible in a Scientific Age?  

          Property Rights in the Episcopal Church -- the Parish is the Basic Unit...     A matter of legitimate and legal freedom, both materially and spiritually.    If you are Anglican or Episcopal, get this out to everyone you know.

          Anglican Ordination of Women -- Where is Forward in Faith now?   Those in England who support a male clergy, and thus oppose the ordination of women (as I do), are making plans to maintain themselves for the future against heavy opposition.  I think they are on the right track.  Forward in Faith exists here in the US also.  E. Fox. 

                        FOUR ESSAYS ON FREEDOM...

          ** The Necessary Foundation of a Free People: Limited Civil Government under God  -- An essay on Love and Politics -- a seminar given regularly at the Minuteman Muster at Camp Vigilance, near Boulevard, California, by Earle Fox. 

          America: From Freedom to Fascism.  -- a re-run. 

          ** The "Ordered Freedom" Amendment -- with relevance to secret societies, secret oaths, and  the Islam situation...

          ** What is FREEDOM? -- by Earle Fox -- a basic but badly misunderstood concept, the right understanding of which will help
        resolve enormous problems in Western Civ. and the Church.

1.28   ** 5 Decisions -- & the Best of All Possible Worlds --  a sermon preached Sunday, January 27, at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, Placentia, CA.

         Is Canada's Economy a Model for America?  Mark Steyn --  We are being drawn into the noose by our President -- this is the Canada with which he wants us to merge? 

         What a Strange Place Canada Is...   Ezra Levant --  More on Canada, our neighbor to the North.  Not what you might think...

1.24   Face to Faith -- by Theo Hobson -- Test your skills on the Church, liberalism, & homosexuality.  A classic example of.... ??? 

          China -- a powerful economic problem...     The greatest shift of capital in world history, now washing across Asia, poses a dilemma for American policymakers.   

          Sharia Law in Britain...   The coming tide.  We are digging our own graves in the West.   If you do not want to live under our laws, do not move here.  We in America are a covenant community under the law and grace of God (IF we can get it back, Christians!)   E. Fox. 

1.23  German Police Warn about flood of immigrants into the EU...   Sound familiar?  The EU may be in for the test of its short life...  From the English Daily Mail. 

         Hillary's Oedipal Problem --  "If you want to know what a Hillary Clinton administration would be like...." 

1.20  Colorado Swat Team Invades Homes, Abducts Child -- on pretext of providing medical aid. 

1.15  ** German Authorities will seize homeschooled children....   ...using a law from time of Hitler.   Have the German people learned anything or not?  Families fleeing Germany.    The statist mentality seems quite durable.  Horace Mann got his idea for American government-controlled schools from 1830's Prussia -- a militaristic forerunner of modern Germany.  Government should never, never, never control education.  It will always become a mind-control system.    E. Fox commentary. 

1.11  Supreme Court Denies Certiorari for Landmark Right-to-Petition Case -- from We, the People...  This denial may force a severe constitutional crisis.  The right of the people to petition the government is at stake -- a fundamental right necessary for a people to keep government accountable to the people. 

1.8  ** Huckabee's Speech to the Council on Foreign Relations....   That he is even thinking "CFR" raises serious doubts about the man's suitability for any office at all in the United States.   The CFR is up to its eyes in globalism.  The Globalists are the primary enemy of America today, not Islam, not homosexuality.   The Globalists are doing their best to manipulate both of these negative forces for the destruction of Biblical civilization -- what is left of it.               E Fox commentary.... 

        A view of George Washington....  

        Rodney Stark -- the Effect of Judeo-Christianity on World Culture...   Stark is one of the best apologists available today, a sociologist who simply does his scholarly homework.  Pursuit of truth always, in the end, leads to God -- the Way, the Truth, and the Life. 

1.7  Barnabas Fund responds to Islamic attempt to look "Moderate"..... An excellent survey of Islamic theology... 

       TERROR ON THE RUN --  2007 ends with large successes in Iraq.  To the chagrin of the media...   Is that treason?  Morally if not legally? 

1.3  Huckabee, Tancredo -- & the Treason behind Illegal Immigration.   These two are apparently in cahoots with the Globalist crowd.  One of them (or both) is being groomed to be the successor to Bush -- the "conservative Christian" who will sucker Christians into voting for the Globalist agenda -- one more time.  The real terrorists are the Globalists. 
        This article has convinced me for the first time that, politically, the War on Terror is a fraud, that the real goal is Globalism, and that we ought to get out of Iraq as soon as possible.  It will create chaos, but continuing there, especially if we "succeed", will be worse.  It will be one more victory for the Globalists, not for freedom. 
        The only chance for good to come out of this is indicated by the news of success, generated, I suspect, mostly by the troops on the ground rather than by the political leadership.   Their American/Biblical spirit of reaching out to the people has probably done more to touch the hearts of the people than anything else.  That would militate for a slow withdrawal rather than immediate.   There might just come out of this a success despite our leadership.    E. Fox
