Editor's Articles: Israel, Palestine, Egypt, USA: Morning Star Writers Journal Kingscalendar.. Wednesday November 14th, 2012 at about 11am Beijing Time or about dawn in Israel, I published an article at Kingscalendar asking why Israel does not fight back... Today, I am using a recent letter from Jerry, to tell a story – a sad story. It is a story rooted in Ancient and Modern Chinese Culture... Something is not right at the Commonwealth Bank. It seems more and more clear some staff members of the Commonwealth bank are playing with my Commonwealth Bank account... The original command to anoint Jehu as king over Israel (not Judah) was given to Elijah the prophet in 1 Kings 19:15-17 in which he is commanded to anoint Hazael as King over Syria (in place of BenHadad) and Jehu over Israel in place of Ahab's son Jehoram.
Whilst "Non General" articles written by R.P. BenDedek have been listed in this section since 2011 when The Writer's Journal was founded, generally speaking, articles listed on this page (and certainly those prior to 2011) do not include articles contained in the following sections:
Palestinian suffering on the other hand, continues no matter what happens and how much support they receive from the United Nations, the European Union and the Arab countries. The Palestinian Leadership dream of Nirvana is for their people (not they themselves) to be martyred for the cause and fly up to Allah. The Jewish dream is to turn Israel into a land flowing with milk and honey, and to enjoy the fatness thereof. Their dream is not to survive, but to LIVE AND PROSPER. Israelis don't dream of migrating to the US.... Ultimately, Israel's existence is living proof that HE who scattered them across the face of the earth 2000 years ago has in fact called them home. And I believe that idea is the fundamental cause for both Muslim angst and the blatant anti-Semitism of the 'anti-God' culturally Marxist, politically correct, activist agendas.
This article is not about 'putting women or gays in their place' but a warning about the day not far off, when they will indeed be put in their place by a people determined to take over the world at any cost. I speak of course of Islam. The Western World is asleep or otherwise so preoccupied with its politically correct agendas. that it doesn't see the forest for the trees.
You may draw what conclusions you will from these events and this commentary, but the fact remains, that 'Guns' are not responsible for violence - people are! Those who seek to kill, will use whatever is most readily at hand to accomplish the act. The question that should be addressed is WHY there is so much violence NOW in this day and age.
Although I have covered the issue of how long Joshua was Judge of Israel in other articles, today I thought that I might touch the subject again, and to make it easy to find, give it the 'How Long' title that many students use in their google searches. The biggest problem in relation to Israel's Period of the judges, is that the Chronological Data provided in the Book of Judges is excessive within the overall chronological claims of the Bible.
The subjects who watched more television than the other children and teenagers were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to exhibit antisocial personality traits in adulthood. One can take away the weapon of first choice, but that does not prevent violence, especially the violence perpetrated by those with criminal or antisocial personalities. The report listed above shows that some people 'are more likely' to become criminals than others but television surely cannot be totally to blame for antisocial and criminal behavior. It is not a mature society that produces many times over, people whose response to hurt, rejection and anger is to run amok killing innocent people going about their daily lives. Proverbs 22:6 says: Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not depart from it. Who is training our children up?
(Originally a 4 part article) On January 14th 2010, I commenced my trip back to Australia. The temperature at that time was varying between minus 15 and minus 20 degrees. It was for this Aussie, despite living in China for 7 years, truly cold. I flew from Baotou in Inner Mongolia to Beijing and stayed one night in the Beijing Aulympic Airportel. The Hotel is located very close to the airport. The fees were very very very low and that suited me fine. I did not expect however, that the hotel would be as nice as it was. Next day I flew to Hong Kong where I connected with a Qantas flight travelling to Brisbane Australia.
When we arrived, we noted that this place really was a resort centre. It had wave pools and other interesting things for people to enjoy, and even accommodated school tour groups with dormitory style accomodation. Opposite the breakfast room was a swimming complex, in the front of which was a very interesting sign. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to bring my .38 Smith and Wesson. When we went in for breakfast, we saw that the next room was set up for a wedding, and discovered that it was 'our' wedding reception. Taking a 'sticky beak', I noted that there were no knives on any of the tables. 'Ahah! Thank God I brought that solid clear plastic knife with me!'.. The whole time before and after the actual church service, the local beggars were inside the church hitting everyone for money. Oh the guilt of refusing a pittance for the poor in the house of God, but I was advised to give no one anything, for that would be more effective than the 'last trump' for the dead. All the beggars would arrive. Not that this mattered at all. Who was carrying money?
By the time I got home and did the packing for the trip, the morning had long gone and it was around 2 pm when I head off to Wivenhoe dam with my camping and fishing gear, for some solitary piscatorial adventures. I arrived at Wivenhoe and began preparing my tent, air mattress, cooking gear etc etc, before heading off to a 'special' spot for some surface action. This area, for the first time in years, has trees semi-submerged by the recently rising water levels. The sun is already low in the sky as I get close, but before I get there, I notice the swallows circling and diving just above the water, near the bank. This is a sign that they are chasing insects. I also notice fish breaking the surface as they too attempt to catch whatever insects land on the surface. I turned off the sounder and moved silently to within casting distance and began flicking surface lures, but to no avail.
A Male Steward came off the plane and walked over to me and said: "It's alright! We aren't going to leave without you! Calm down! Catch your breath!" The 'So and So' was right. It was still another 30 minutes before we took off! I on the other hand was watching the driver through his rear view mirror. He seemed to be blinking an awful lot and his driving was a little erratic. Not that that is unusual in China, but when you are on the highway and you have 3 or 4 lanes to choose from and very little traffic, you would think that you could drive in at least one or two of those lanes for more than 500 meters at a time.
The 'elites' of the south can keep their big metropolitan lifestyles. The people from my part of Australia love the peace and serenity to which we have grown accustomed. And if the heart of Brisbane does not offer enough to see within walking, biking or river ferry distance, we only have to jump in the car and drive for an hour in any direction, to visit some of the best scenery in the world, in Queensland, The Sunshine State.
If you take a drive north of Brisbane, depending on your route you can pass through Montville, Maleny, Lake Baroon, and all the other attractionsin this area of the Sunshine State of Queensland. All the towns and villages are quite close together. For instance, Steve Irwin Way is the road you need to travel to Austalia Zoo. Noosa, Tin Can Bay, Rainbow Beach and Caloundra, are on the coast and from there you can travel to Fraser, Bribie and Moreton Islands. Actually, to get to Bribie Island you don't need to take a boat. You can just cross the bridge.
The exact distance from the heart of Brisbane to Lake Baroon is unknown to me, but I can estimate that it is around 90 kilometers. It's a small manmade lake which in parts is at least 34 meters deep. This I know for a fact, because my brother, the penultimate sportsman who never likes to leave anything to chance, has a sonar device installed in the Kayak (our mode of transport for the occasion) that lets him know not just the depth of the water, but where the fish are, and whether or not it is worth the effort to circle the area in an effort to catch something.
Marxists believe that the existing society must be destroyed in order to successfully establish the new order. They believe that society, like the Phoenix must die so that out of the ashes can rise the new Phoenix. I don't think that they realise that it is the same bird that rises, not one with a new design. Cultural Marxists pay no attention to the lessons of history, and it is we who will suffer because of it. We must begin to question what we have been taught. We must begin to see where our societies are headed. And most importantly, we must stop being bystanders who believe that there is nothing that they can do. (History, accelerated by science, is compressing itself, and our misfortunes, into ever tighter spirals. Can we cope? We can if we recognize the fact that man's astonishing technological progress presents just as many dangers to society as opportunities; and if we remember that utopia, or the Kingdom of Heaven, or whatever you choose to call such a state of grace, is not something that we confer on our society with science or social institutions, but forge within our souls by an act of devotion to some thing or principle greater than ourselves: Wm. B. Fankboner
The evening went well for the guests, and the foreigners were as pleased to have been invited, as were the guests to gawk at them. The whole thing must have cost a pretty penny, some or most of which would have been recouped through the Chinese custom of given 'Red Bags' of money. The trick for the Bridal couple is to get more than they paid out. Under normal circumstances they would end up in the black, but on this occasion one could only wonder. As for the foreigners, they all enjoyed themselves immensely. Whilst some caught up with friends and others of us made new acquaintances, all of us had a wonderful time
The Scene is made up of stones weighing 5,000 tons and the water inside comes from purified lake water with 8 meter falling. The stones, water and wave plowing create a mountainous atmosphere as described by Wang Wei and Meng Haoran "Clear water runs on stones" and "Adventures in the stone gate". When Chen Yu and I finally arrived back at the North Entrance, a group of young people spotted me and began calling out. It turned out that two of them were Chen Yu's students. The following photo is one that Chen Yu took using my camera, as the boys (none of whom were known to Chen Yu) posed with me while their friends took photos using their cameras
Once we were in the studio, and without receiving any advice, instruction or prompting whatsoever, I, as the 'first monkey up', or 'first cab off the rank' (whichever expression you like), found myself walking onto the set to be greeted by the presenter. I bowed, greeted her in Chinese, turned to the audience and greeted them, and then, with 'deliberate nonchalance', sat down on the sofa provided. Thank heaven that it was a pre-recorded show and was not 'live to air'. And thankfully when they aired the program they didn't show what happened when I sat down
With the official greetings over, we were presented with a variety of performances from local artists and international guests, including an American man and his family. This family presented a narrative from a Gospel about the birth of Jesus, and then went on to present some musical renditions of Christmas Carols. Another foreigner, who performed a Chinese fan dance, was Helen, a Ukrainian with an American Accent. She is also an English teacher in Dong He District Baotou. We chatted for a little while at the end of the night. The other performances included an Arabian - Chinese dance performed by a group of girls balancing rice bowls while they gyrated around the place. They were all young and beautiful and adept in their craft
My 'less than trusting' Chinese friends (currently scattered far and wide throughout China), are not so excited. They tell me that not only are private schools well known for their abuse of and cheating both foreign and National teachers, but one should not trust a Chinese boss to keep his word. While in fact no one has actually informed me that I will be paid overtime, the provision is in my contract and I don't see how it can be 'forgotten'. I doubt that the franchisee could ever have become such an illustrious business woman (She has businesses in China and in Canada) had she not been an ethical manager
It turns out that Yang Bin attended some special 'Arts' High school where the subjects were song and dance routines, and didn't these guys belt out some fantastic songs. Skinny little dweebie boys with deep, rich voices that would hold their own against any professional out there on the circuit. And then there was the girl. Whew! No point even trying to tell you what she was like. If you are not familiar with Chinese singing stars, then you wouldn't understand how fantastic she was. Even Yang Bin sang a song and later danced the 'Jive' with his 13 year old cousin. He also did a quick Jive with Wu Peipei
The Ancient Roman and Greek Empires are now but ruins. The British Empire which began to bud with Elizabeth I Rex and came into full bloom in the reign of Queen Victoria, is now reduced to just a 'Commonwealth of Nations'. And the Empire of the United States of America? The U.S. is only 400 years old (depending on how you define 'U.S.') whilst England is 1000 years old. Americans would hardly define themselves (at least as far as world politics goes) as an 'Imperial State' or an empire, but if one did, then surely that too would be very young, perhaps no more than 100 years.
Could the land not just be given to the Arabs 'with the trees intact'? No! Ownership of 'legally' vacant land (not identified by ownership) is based on who actually 'works' the land. Remove the 'Jewish' trees and the Arabs can claim the land for themselves. Something they have already been doing with the assistance of Anti-Israel Foreign Activists who pretend that they are not Anti-Semites.
Yesterday, Wednesday November 14th, 2012 at about 11am Beijing Time or about dawn in Israel, I published an article at Kingscalendar asking why Israel does not fight back. This morning (7 am Beijing Time) I read that Israel had commenced operations against Gaza. Tonight (6.15pm Beijing Time) as I sit in China reading world news I am disgusted by what I see.
What other country in history has ever been required to provide all the basic necessities to enable their enemy to attack and murder them? Until Israel wakes up to the fact that no one really cares about Israel or Jews; until Israel wakes up that Political Correctness is just a tool by which people can hide their true feelings whilst showing a compassionate face, then Israel is doing nothing more than committing slow suicide. No one cares! No one wants Israel there! They all want to lick the boots of Activist Agendas and Arab Oil and they believe that Israel is worth sacrificing if it means peace from terrorism (but it won't).
Mingxing's company had booked him into the upmarket Kempinski Hotel in Wuxi and he organized and paid for one extra day so that we could go sightseeing. There are two photos in Part one that relate to the Kempinski Hotel Room, but this photo is of the lavish foyer of the Hotel as taken from the first floor landing above the coffee shop. Whilst the Big Buddha is the 'centerpiece' so to speak, the real spectacular is to be found in the Cultural Museum. This place is one helluva spectacular place inside. It sits directly opposite the replica of the Potala Palace, and when you enter you are required to put coverings over your shoes. I suspect that the real reason is to cut down on the cleaning bill. This place was crowded and all those people shuffling along wearing shoe protectors gave the marble floor a really high sheen.
The Fairy Island on the Lake Taihu. which used to be called the Three-Mount Island, is a group of well-known islands and islets in the famou s scenic spot of Lake Taihu.it lies in the lake, and is 2. 0 kilometers away from the Turtle Head Peninsual, which is in the northeast shore. The entire islands are made up of the islets such as Daji, Xiaoji, Dongya, Xiya, with a total area of 12 hectares. (From a Sign at Taihu.)
It was decided that unshod horses would not be allowed to be used in commercial ventures. People couldn't ride horses for a living; salesman couldn't load goods onto their horses; and horses could no longer pull carts. While it all seemed quite logical and humane, the unforeseen consequence of the law was that the supply of goods into and out of the town began to dwindle, until in the end, business after business went bankrupt. As time went by the whole city went bust until the only ones left were those who could not afford to move, and one of these was our blacksmith. One day, considering that since the council itself was now gone, the blacksmith decided to restart his business.
When excavating workers discovered the original Royal road and archaeological viewing platforms have been set up from both above and beside the original road. No charge! You can go down the ramp and clearly see the road and the accompanying signs/ The Chaotian Gate - During the Zhizheng Reign of Yuan Dynasty it was renamed to Gongbei Tower. It was destroyed in the 10th year (1474) of Chenghua Reign Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the next year. The building was destroyed again in early Qing Dynasty and rebuilt in the 25th year (1686) of the Kangxi Reign Qing Dynasty. It is known as Drum Tower.
We spent quite a bit of time in Leifeng Pagoda before leaving to take a cab back to our hotel. On the way out we read all the signs about the Pagoda's history and the Story of Lady White Snake. We also stopped so that Mingxing could duck into a little temple beside the Pagoda. I took the opportunity to sit on a fence and have a cigarette. While doing so I notice 2 young couples at the entrance and one of the boys looked at me, smiled, said something to his girlfriend who then produced a camera and then made a beeline for me so he could have his photo taken with a 'real live foreigner'. We foreigners probably have our photos taken more often than movie stars.
Politically Correct activists fight many different causes but their bottom line strategy is to demonstrate that their opponents are "GUILTY" - guilty of anything and everything one can quickly think of so as to disempower those same opponents. Reaction formation generally speaking is accusing others of those things of which you yourself are guilty BUT which you find inexcusable within yourself. It’s rather like being a Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One part of the character lives in the righteous, non discriminatory respectable world of PC but underneath there is a guilty secret that one doesn't want to let escape. It would ruin their image. And so they point the fingers of hatred at those guilty of the same thing - because in fact they "loath themselves".
After years of living in China, I finally got around to organizing a trip to Tibet. I was due to pay for the trip at the End of June and I was to go in October during the Chinese National Holiday. If you have been wondering why the Chinese Government put a ban on foreigners going to Tibet, then now you know the reason. It was to stop me! Alleyways and Streets are more narrow than the canals in Xitang Town ZheJiang. Once we cleared the bars it quieted down. Now this is where I point out why the title of this article has 'Clown' in it.
Located at the south foot of Qixia Ridge, Yue Fei's Tomb (and Temple) is one of representative historic sites of Confucian culture in West Lake Cultural Landscape as well as the place for the famous national hero Yue Fei. As a model of Chinese cultural tradition of loyalty and filial piety known to every household, Yue Fei has been respected and cherished by people with their sacrifices for centuries in this sacred site.
It appears that this new 'Sovereignty' movement in Israel is going to render 'redundant' years of dialogue and discussion relating to a 'Two State Solution' in Israel. MK Tzipi Hotovely raising her voice said: "Friends, everybody here today knows that there is a solution -- applying sovereignty [over the West Bank]. One state for the Jewish people with an Arab minority, lest any right-winger say there's no solution!"
Having stated that the Governor is one of the very first elected officials to take this action and that there is no play book to show him what to do next, the American Policy Center is calling on citizens to sign a 'Letter of Thanks' to Governor Bentley: If you care about protecting our Constitution and our way of live from attacks by the United Nations, then you must stand with Governor Bentley by signing and returning you "Letter of Thanks for Opposing United Nations' Agenda 21". The newsletter warns however that if Governor Bentley is left to fight alone, then he is probably doomed to be destroyed by the very powerful UN/Agenda 21 forces.
The original command to anoint Jehu as king over Israel (not Judah) was given to Elijah the prophet in 1 Kings 19:15-17 in which he is commanded to anoint Hazael as King over Syria (in place of BenHadad) and Jehu over Israel in place of Ahab's son Jehoram. And there is a promise from God that those who escape from Hazael will be slain by Jehu and those who escape Jehu will be slain by Elisha. But even though the Scripture talks about killing the King of Israel's heirs (the house of Ahab), no where does it say that anyone is to kill the King of Judah "Ahaziah", who was either Ahab's grandson, nephew or son-in-law. (2 Kings 8:18 makes his mother to be the daughter of Omri and therefore sister of Ahab and so he was Ahab's nephew, while verse 26 states that his mother was Ahab's daughter therefore he was Ahab's grandson but verse 27 refers to him as son-in-law).
'Global Governance advocates focus less on countries like Iran, Cuba, and North Korea than on the United States'. Concerning United Nations bodies, Bolton points out that these United Nations bodies that Fonte talks about, "seek to exploit both international law and domestic U.S. law to limit, constrain, and intimidate the United States and its political and military leaders from robustly defending our national interests abroad ...By threatening U.S. officials with prosecution for alleged war crimes or human rights abuses, asserting jurisdiction over them when they travel abroad, for example, the globalistas seek to impose their version of international law over our own constitutional authorities".
We have King Amaziah who may or may not have been ruling for half the period allotted him; his son Uzziah, whose independent reign may or may not have occupied 52 years; Jotham who was governor for his sick father Uzziah; Ahaz for whom are recorded contradictory narratives, and Hezekiah whose 6th year was 722 BCE and whose 14th year was 701 BCE and who was visited by a King who was no longer a king at a period of time when records seems to be a composite of different events. That then was the world as it was 2700 years ago at the time the seal mentioning Bethlehem existed. One can only wonder what Bethlehem - the birthplace of that great Muslim Jesus of Nazareth - was like. We do however know what it is like today.
I paid all but $20 off the outstanding amount and then emailed the bank about the ridiculous late fee. They immediately emailed me back with apologies and said they would credit the account. That's when I took a close look at my account and saw that they had charged me interest on my account during the 10 weeks that they had prevented me from MAKING PAYMENTS or paying off the entire debt. That is Highway robbery and akin to tying a soldier's hands behind his back and then court-martialing him for failing to salute an officer. This type of behavior is not permissible in 'Common Law' but then Australian Banks have their catch-all clauses (much like the Government of China) so that they can milk every drop of money out of you that they can. Well of course I sent off another missive but that was like talking to a Communist and then a couple of weeks later I discovered that they hadn't credited my account with the late fee overcharge but had instead charged me $0.37 interest on my outstanding $20 debt. The mind boggles at the deviousness of the Commonwealth Bank. But then again, how else can upper management collect such sinful salaries?
I can say that the new computer cost me half of what I had expected to pay, and the money saved will almost pay for a special trip I'm planning to the other side of the country in October. We had our conversation on a Tuesday at about 11.45am at the end of March, and two days later on the Thursday, I picked up my brand new computer already loaded with all my programs. It also came with a gift of some high definition movies (Mr. Kang is able to provide 1500 HD Movies on an external hard drive.) If you are coming to Suzhou and you really NEED to buy a new computer, go talk to him. Maybe you just need some repairs - he'll fix you up. Maybe you want some High Definition Movies - he's the one to talk to.
To this day, Mr. Obama's college transcripts, undergraduate thesis and health records remain sealed. We know little about his years in Indonesia as a young boy; his overseas trips to countries like Pakistan in the 1980s; his relationship with his mother and Muslim stepfather; and his time spent as a "community organizer" in Chicago. In short, the president's past is clouded in mystery. This is not conspiracy-mongering, but objective fact. Americans have a right to know who their commander-in-chief really is. Instead, the media wants to bury any debate or inquiry into Mr. Obama's background. (Washington Times)
Updated March 17, 2012: Forgerygate: Barak Hussein Obama, President of the United States of America: Trojan Horse or Messiah?: Law Suits against Obama. By April 2010 - the date of the last entry, it was quite obvious that there was no more need to keep adding links. I guess Obama was not quite what the Politically Correct Multiculturalist Self-Righteous Ideologues thought he would be. No man/woman should be selected for such a high office based upon an ideology as stupid as Political Correctness.
Updated March 17, 2012: Forgerygate: The Obama Presidency!: Ongoing commentary: Who is President Obama. I believe that Obama is a Trojan horse, and that in due time the American People are going to suffer badly for their mistake in choosing him as President. America it seems is considered both a god and a demon, with the title changing on a daily basis depending on the circumstance. In my opinion, America is nothing more than a country, and if the world cannot have success without the USA, or if the world falters when the USA falters, then I must ask: "whose fault is that?" The world at large should grow up and become independent.
Any teacher who is legitimately employed, and properly registered, is able to pack up and leave if the going gets tough, but any teacher whose 'bona fides' (as a foreigner living and working in Baotou) are not legitimately established, could find themselves being deported from China. I would hope that all the problematical behavior of management at EET has long since changed, and that they are currently fulfilling their legal obligations. I would hope that anyone who goes to work there would be well treated or at least not abused, cheated or lied to. But foreigners who to write to me to ask my advice are either 'plants' working for EET or just plain foolish.
Today, I am using a recent letter from Jerry, to tell a story – a sad story. It is a story rooted in Ancient and Modern Chinese Culture. It is a story of an impossible love. It is a story I have heard so many times before, of families who refuse to allow their children to love whom they will. It is a story about how in the 21st century, Chinese children must still obey their parents and marry the one of whom the parents approve.
One would think that based on those two great truths that the Commonwealth Bank would have the organizational and managerial flexibility to deal with any situation to arise, but apparently they do not - OR - they don't wish to! But you just have to wonder if at the end of the day, the whole issue is not just about "a shortage of competent staff" and a lack of good old fashioned customer service.

Something is not right at the Commonwealth Bank. It seems more and more clear some staff members of the Commonwealth bank are playing with my Commonwealth Bank account. Is it possible for the Commonwealth Bank Australia to get off their 'ideological' backsides and take a pragmatic approach? I think that's what they use to call 'customer service'. I find it difficult to believe that Commonwealth Bank Management don't trust Commonwealth Bank staff and think it absolutely shocking that my communications with the Commonwealth bank through my Commonwealth Bank secure netbank are not secure. My thanks to the Commonwealth Bank Staff member who sent me the email but I am tired of saying the same thing to every DIFFERENT support staff at the Commonwealth Bank. Commonwealth Bank Staff are one or more of the following: Malicious, Incompetent, Untrustworthy or just plain "Outsourced" (meaning: Commonweealth Bank Staff are not Australian Citizens).
I once had someone write me to say that there was no such thing as Murphy's Law but that my personal 'negativity', my belief - if you will, was drawing all the negative energy of the universe into my life and thus I was creating all my own bad luck. Wow! Who knew I could have such power! - Two weeks later I decided to return to Jiaxing to take some photos. At the North Bus Station in Suzhou I bought my ticket and while waiting for the bus, noticed that my destination in Jiaxing was the 'Central' bus station. When I arrived, I was totally lost and had to call my friends and ask them how to get to their place.
I do not mean to imply that there is anything inherently evil in all of the above mentioned causes, or that Muslims or others are actively seeking to subvert the tradition and culture of their new homelands, but when push comes to shove, what will make it possible for such people to 'take over', is that we simply laid down and died in the face of angry and demanding activist groups whose only reason to support every minority issue, is to gain more power for themselves. It occurs to me that a major theme within the book is that the communist revolution was a wonderful ideological event only so long as the pragmatists were in charge of it. When ideologues took charge, everything collapsed.
When we write a speech, we have a particular purpose. We want to say something in particular. First you come up with a list of everything that you can think of to write, and then you put them into some type of order. Just write something about each point. When you have done that, decide which points belong in the first paragraph, which belong in the second paragraph and so on. When writing a speech, there is background information or detail, that adds to the story. Each paragraph is always connected to the one before it and the one after it. There should always be some type of transition - a word, a phrase, an idea - something that connects one paragraph to another. Mao Zedong, who was born in 1893 in a village in Hunan Province, began studying in the village primary school when he was 8 years old and left when he was 13 years old to work on his father's farm.
Since that article was not about the Computer Repairs, I did not go into detail about what had happened. What happened in fact, was that there was so much wrong with my computer, that Mr. Kang used a spare casing and wot-not to 'recondition' my computer. I walked in with a thin silver 'no name' computer (it was a prototype), and walked out with a black IBM computer. Total cost was 400 rmb! The reason it was so cheap of course was that I really do not wish to buy a computer in China. A Chinese friend in Baotou got a Chinese Computer with a legitimate English program, but it still threw up Chinese pop-up messages. Mr. Kang told me that as long as I promised to return the computer once I went home next year and bought a new computer, then he was happy to do this for me.
1 Kings 22:47 states that there was no King (but a deputy) in Edom during Jehoshaphat's reign but the Septuagint (3 Kings 16:28 ) reads 'Syria' not Edom. According to Bright, ( 1981, p.274) 'Aram' and 'Edom' look nearly the same in Hebrew. In understanding the situation in Syria at this particular juncture in Israel's history, the fact that 1 Kings 22:47 may be read as a reference to Syria, is important to the understanding of the political situation during the reign of Jehoshaphat (and therefore Ahab) between 880 BCE. and 858 BCE. The more coherent rendering (from the perspective of the King's Calendar Artificial Calendar) would be that it was Syria (Aram) that was ruled by a deputy during Jehoshaphat's reign (or part thereof) and it may be possible to provide indication of this by assessing the military strength of Syria at this time, as presented in the biblical narratives, with particular emphasis on the person of Ben-Hadad.
When was Solomon's Temple built? Even the year of the Destruction of Solomon's Temple is not yet positively known and many claim the Bible Stories are False but the Bible Synchronisms for the Divided Kingdom of Israel are totally accurate when one calculates 490 years backward in history using the Kingscalendar artificial construct.
When it comes to Bible Chronology, the reality is that no matter who you are and what your theory is, you must at least make some show of following scientific and mathematical methodology when 'demonstrating' where one differs from the 'standard' dates in history. Scientific Methodology requires that every theory and experiment be subjected to repeated testing to verify or prove erroneous, the theory being tested and the results previously obtained. Stating that the History books are wrong because they don't match your chronology 'doesn't work', because the same Bible records from which you calculate your Bible Chronology, also synchronize with the reigns of the Kings of Assyria and Babylon. I did my experimenting, provided my methodology, assumptions and limitations, provided apologetics for those places where my chronology disagrees with the currently accepted dates, and did my best to demonstrate why those currently accepted dates cannot be accepted as gospel.
There have been many things which Scientists have taught and believed which were later overturned when more information came to light and understanding of the universe increased, but it didn't stop them then and doesn't stop them now from 'believing' that they are totally right and that everyone else is wrong. (Ever counted up how many times they discovered the 'Evolutionary Missing Link' only to discover later they were wrong?) After the earth blows up they are going to go around saying 'I told you so! - I told you so!'. Of course if it doesn't end they will walk around disappointed and depressed, looking for a reason as to why 'the end' was postponed. (They'll probably determine that those rotten greenhouse gasses blocked out the sun's radiation and ruined their prophetic utterances).
The answer is simple: 'The Bible must not be trustworthy!' But we must also ask, "Just how trustworthy are opinions and the records upon which secular academics rely?" In both 848 BCE and 845 BCE the coalition of Syro-Phoenician kings successfully withstood Shalmaneser of Assyria and the Assyrian records for both events name Ben-Hadad as leader of the coalition. In 841 BCE however, only one king withstood the Assyrians, and that was King Hazael of Damascus. There is no actual evidence that Hazael of Damascus commenced to reign in 842 / 841 BCE. There is no actual evidence that King Ahab of Israel died circa 853 BCE. One must understand that Ben-Hadad's name may not have been inserted into the record until decades after the battle; and additionally, the name itself is not a personal name that could identify a particular person. The 'name' Ben-Hadad may well have been recorded as the generic name for the specific individual - Hazael
Amos 1:1 refers to visions - "two years before the earthquake" - concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel. The discovery by Tel Aviv University scientists that a major earthquake (over 7 on the Richter scale) took place on the Golan Heights in the year 749 CE is significant. Josephus in Antiquities Book 9 Chapter 10:4 says that a great earthquake shook the ground and a rent was made in the temple, and the bright rays of the sun shone through it, and fell upon the king's face, insomuch that the leprosy seized upon him immediately.
Narcissistic leadership is about theatre, not about life. The pacific mask crumbles when the narcissist has become convinced that the very people he purported to speak for, have turned against him. The narcissistic leader prefers the sparkle and glamour of well-orchestrated illusions to the tedium and method of real accomplishments. Narcissistic injury inevitably leads to narcissistic rage and unbridled aggression. When cheering for someone turns into adulation, something is wrong. "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell who you are." Don't the quality of Obama's friends and associates tell us about the man? What is not normal, is that many so called educated and politically correct western idiots choose to ignore reality in preference for their own fundamentalistic political agendas, some of which are just totally racist.
I recently received an email from someone who wanted my assistance in understanding the Bible's chronological references in relation to the Prophets Elijah and Elisha, and King Ahab of Israel / Samaria and his sons Ahaziah and Jehoram, as well as King Jehoshaphat of Judah. I am feeling very stupid that I can't figure this out. Welcome to the world of understanding Biblical Chronology. Firstly you are not stupid - the fact that you can see the problems means that you have achieved far more than most people can even begin to appreciate." The Bible contains many difficulties. For this period of history alone, there are numerous
Parks and Gardens in Inner Mongolia: Expats Watering Hole: International Visitors to Baotou have a lot to see within the city. Ba Yi Park is Located in Kunqu District Baotou City Inner Mongolia which is in the west of the City. It occupies a block in the middle of Minzu Xi Lu (East), Gangtie Dajie (North), Linyin Lu (West), and Qingnian Lu (South). In the West it is located on the last intersection (Gangtie Dajie and Linyin Lu - Northwest Entry) before the Underground Mall, the Walking Street and the Baobai and Victory Hall Shopping Plazas.
Expats in Baotou City: Where to Eat in Baotou: The Seven Pizza bar is located on the 1st floor (western description). It is located just one block from the Main Road Gangtie Dajie and LinYin Road. That intersection also forms the North West Gate to Ba Yi Park. It's not an Up market Joint, and nor is it one of those places where the Chinese stare at the foreigner like he is a monkey in a zoo. It's a 'home away from home' place for foreigners.
Nanhai Park is in Dong He in Baotou. Dong He is just one part of Baotou and lies to the east. It can be reached from Qingshan and Kunqu Districts by cathing the No. 10 or No. 5 bus. It's about a 30 minute fast trip from Qingshan and a little longer from Kunqu.Now although we don't know and don't care why this dragon was in the water, we were interested to travel over to this little island you see in the next photo. We were only interested until we saw the boat ride prices! We live here and earn Chinese rmb. We are too poor to spend that sort of money. As I am often heard to say to Chinese who want me to spend up big' 'Hey! I am a foreigner. I am not Chinese! I am not rich!'
Despite our general disdain for King Ahab, the Encyclopaedia Judaica, provides an interesting summary of Ahab's Reign, that provides a far better picture of him as a king, than does the biblical narrative. King Ahab is best remembered as the husband of Queen Jezebel. It was during his reign that Elijah the prophet was quite busy slaying false prophets and running from Queen Jezebel.
Since Athaliah then 'destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah' (2 Chronicles 22:10), it is obvious that Jehu was not completely successful. One wonders if Jehosheba was in fact Athaliah's daughter, and that those royals murdered by Athaliah, were not in fact all those who were not 'her' blood relations.
From 849 BCE. to 756 BCE, Athaliah to Uzziah & Jehu to Jeroboam II of Israel and Adad-Nirari III Western Campaigns. According to current chronology, Adad-Nirari III commenced a series of western campaigns (toward Syria / Palestine) between 805 BCE. and 803 BCE. although Miller & Hayes, [1986, p.298] place this at 796 BCE. The Saba'a Inscription mention of Adad-Nirari's 5th year (806/05 BCE), appears to indicate that it was in that year that he reached Damascus. We sometimes tend to think that our knowledge of history is based on irrefutable evidence, but as pointed out by Sir Alan Gardiner (1961) in reference to Egyptian History, our knowledge is based in a collection of rags and tatters.
We Westerners are already on "The Path of Self-Destruction", and if we do not soon smarten up we will very soon find ourselves living in a world that is not the slightest bit interested in judicial rights, human rights, democratic rights, gay rights, children's rights, women's rights or any other form of right that you can imagine. The only right left to us will be the right to do exactly what we are told, when we are told. What is not normal, is that many so called educated and politically correct western idiots choose to ignore reality in preference for their own fundamentalistic political agendas, some of which are just totally racist. Calling themselves humanitarian and compassionate, they are in fact fundamentalists who can brook no argument contrary to their own position.
There is one absolutely undeniable true fact that exists in Palestine; that Hamas does not now, nor has it ever, and nor does it ever intend to live in peace alongside of Israel. Only Stupid Bleeding Heart Judeo/Christian White Westerners fail to be able to see what is written and hear what is spoken by Hamas in this regard. Even the United Nations is Anti Israel. Beware of False Prophets who cry Peace! Peace! when there is no Peace! The most recent announcement of Hamas / Fatah unity in 2011, is designed to make certain a positive reponse from the United Nations in September 2011, to the establishment of the Palestinian State. Within 3 years, there is going to be another all our war with Israel designed to wipe it off the map.
Under the Oslo Agreement the Palestinian Authority (PA) was committed to protecting Jewish and Christian Holy Sites, and to ensure access by all. The Arab strategy (supported by Western Media Revisionism) is to claim that each and every Jewish Holy place is rightfully a Muslim site and deny Jews access, and then they desecrate and destroy the very places they had recently deemed "holy." Why do Arabs restrict Jews from praying at Joseph's Tomb when the Israelis do not restrict Muslims from praying at their 'holy sites'?
Media Lies: Political Activism: United Nations Anti-Israel. The people who spawned and espouse Political Correctness and a host of other 'human rights' issues, are today no longer concerned with the truth. They don't give a damn about it. So corrupt have they become in their own 'self idolisation', that neither do they hide their constant approval of the lies that are told by Palestinian and other terrorists. There is general acknowledgment among Palestinians that Arab leaders bear responsibility for the mass flight of Arabs from Israel in 1948. When any organisation needs to dispense with truth in order to promote their story and when they must manufacture justification for bloodshed and murder, we have a duty to recognise that true justification for that bloodshed and murder is a lie.
It is interesting to note Mr. Sanad's comments about Arab Muslims in Israel. Egypt's ruling military council sentenced Maikel Nabil Sanad to three years in prison. He was convicted of "insulting the military establishment" and "spreading false information" on the army's use of violence against protesters and its torture of detainees. It seems nobody likes the truth.
Not long before I left Baotou in early 2010, my friend Arnold (Chaolu) took me for a visit to his home village and gave me a look at some local scenery. I could probably tell a story about our trip, but it would mainly involve the difficulties encountered with Chinese Transport. Therefore there is no real story here, just a glimpse of the area out past Lin He, northwest of Baotou. Chaolu has for years taken foreigners on private tours of the grasslands but is now in the process of establishing a tour company called Tournmg (Tour Nei Menggu)
It is because they have evil hearts that turn the truth into a lie. Knowing the truth which is clearly visible to all, they turn aside into the darkness because their hearts are filled with rebellion - rebellion against - GOD! Yep! That's right! Against God!
Mr. Arrigoni was an activist - an Italian. Beyond that I know nothing about the man. This much I do know about activists however, is that they are people driven by ideology, and ideology cares nothing for the truth. Whatever the man may have believed, he obviously did not understand that the people he supports don't fit a nice ideological pigeon-hole. The Palestinian peoples are pawns in a political game controlled by terrorists. That is the sum of it in a nutshell! Mr. Arrigoni sided with terrorists, and now he is dead!
I don't care what someone believes, they can be racist or prejudiced or bigoted but when you process that into a physical or verbal attack on somebody you've just degraded yourself into something worse than the three put together. We are not much different. We also allow ourselves to be emotionally aroused by Media in relation to brutal behavior. When you allow your heart to be lead into hatred, you are but a 'slip' away from being a barbaric murderer yourself. As the Bible says: 'What a man thinks - is what the man is!'
But today, a week after the murder of civilians, innocent children, and - by the way - Jews, it behooves us to stop and look at our reactions to those murders and ask ourselves whether in the deep recesses of our hearts we actually approve of such murder.
My own religious background and theology is quite different to that of Pastor Keys, but during my 3 years in that college, I learned so much, not just about Christianity, but business, sociology, cross cultural communication, psychology and counselling, research and planning and of course teaching. All of these have empowered me in my teaching in China.
The Chinese Educational system, at least so far as learning English is concerned, has completely failed to provide what the students need, and whilst that on its own is bad enough, the international language testing services offered by various organizations around the world, "must be", as far as I can see, 'CORRUPT'. How is it that students who cannot hear or hold the simplest conversation in English, can pass these international language tests, whilst many of those who fail, can freely talk with any foreigner on any topic? The answer to that is 'Grammar'. Some idiot somewhere has decided that passing grammar test is synonymous with an ability to hear and speak normative English.
President Obama Humiliated: The Palestinian Authority has withstood all of President Obama's pleas; boasted of his humiliation; announced a boycott of American diplomats, journalists and products and have scheduled a "Day of Rage," against America. Caroline Glick (deputy managing editor of The Jerusalem Post) reports that with the fall of President Mubarek of Egypt, Iran, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are no longer restrained by borders that were formerly barred to them. According to her report, the recent missile strikes on Beersheba and Netivot were made possible because Iran's battleships can now pass freely through the Suez Canal (for the first time since 1979) bringing arms and aid to terrorists.
This article was published on July 29, 2010 six months before the recent overthrow of Egypt's President Mubarek. In Hindsight it makes interesting reading as does the article written a year earlier which discussed the reasons why 18 months later, the Egyptian revolution finally took place. If and when the Brotherhood gains power and influence in Egypt, it is likely that Egypt will begin sponsoring the likes of Hamas, al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations. And the more powerful the Brotherhood becomes in Egypt, the more likely it is that Egypt will abrogate its peace treaty with Israel.
Precis: Moses was Born 1523 BCE - Fled to Midian in 1486 BCE - Commenced the Exodus in 1449 BCE and died in 1413/1412 BCE: In 1514 BCE when Moses was around Nine years old, Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis II had a daughter...the future seemed secure to Hatshepsut when her Daughter Neferure was born, for through marriage to Moses she would have provided Egypt with a New King. Neferure died at the age of Eleven years in 1503 BCE. In 1487 BCE, around the time that Hatshepsutat died, 40 year old Moses fled Egypt. Forty years later he returned to confront Amenhotep II who was far worse by nature than the Biblical Pharaoh. The Exodus took place during Amenhotep II's co-regency during the last two years of the reign of Thothmes III. During this time, Amenhotep left Egypt to campaign in Asia. The administration of Egypt was left to Grandvisier Rekhmire, whose tomb reveals that he met his end with disgrace. The Book of Judges provides an incomplete chronology of the Judges of Ancient Israel, yet still records 450 years of consecutive data. Extra-Biblical records indicate a further 60 to 80 years for Joshua, Samuel and King Saul. Add 40 years for King David's reign and 4 years to the Commencement of the building of Solomon's remple, a total of between 554 and 574 years elapse between the Israelite entrance into Canaan and the 4th year of Solomon. The King's Calendar artificial construct reduces the overall value of the data, and demonstrates that the period of the Judges compactly fits into 480 artificial years, as indicated in the Masoretic version 1 Kings 6:1.
COMPLETE unabridged version of "The Law, Rules of Evidence & Archaeology": A Polemical rebuttal of Academic methodology in reconstructing the history of Ancient Israel. The Battle of Qarqar in 853 BCE is important in relation to the History of the Ancient Near East and The 'King's Calendar' indicates that King Ahab of Israel, died in 863 BCE. The Kurkh Stele of Shalmaneser III claims that King Ahab was present at the Battle of Qarqar in 853 BCE. The claims of the Kurkh Stele are promoted despite seven (7) justifiable academic objections to its content. The King's Calendar' is a computer generated mathematical synchronous chronological presentation of the history of Ancient Israel, as principally recorded in the Biblical books of Kings and Chronicles, and sets forth Apologetics for and the results of R.P.BenDedek's discovery of an "artificial chronological scheme" running through the Books of the Bible, Josephus,the Damascus Documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Seder Olam Rabbah.
E.E.T. East English Training Schools in Baotou and Shanghai: I originally published this because I wanted to warn foreign teachers about this Shanghai Based School. I had provided them with lots of free publicity, and they turned out to be nothing but users and abusers... Events such as cheating an American Female Teacher; being called before the Education Department; and the bashing of a Chinese woman who had once worked for the company. I received an email warning me not to return to Baotou, which I promptly forwarded on to officials in Taiwan, Australia and Baotou. It has cost me a lot of money to make sure that foreigners do not blindly fall into their hands - a lot more money than if I had just dropped the matter. These are truly vile people and I cannot in all good conscience let others fall into their trap.
Do you have sex lessons or six lessons? Do you fight or fart? Do you smell or smile? Do you have blue eyes or blue arse? Life in the classroom is full of such gems, and while I may fall down on the floor laughing, or necessarily excuse myself from the room for a few moments, I consider it both important and my duty, to correct the errors. And that often requires using 'Yellow Language'.
In Israel itself, there is a bias toward the 'Arabs' that sometimes requires that Jewish citizens pay the price of political correctness. In order to appease the Americans, the United Nations, The European Union, Egypt and the rest of the International community including the Arab League and all those western 'illuminati' who look in the mirror and see God himself, the Israeli Government repeatedly offers up its citizens as sacrificial lambs for the holocaust of Israel's redemption.
I have spent most Chinese New Years in the villages of Heng Ji and Fengkou in Hong Hu city in Hubei. Last New Year I was in Australia and now I am in Baotou. I have to admit that I prefer to watch the fireworks in the dark countryside, but it has nevertheless been an interesting experience tonight.
Israel, the occupier, the terrorist state; those criminals who keep Palestinians behind walls and bar them from freedom simply because they daily fire mortar shells at Israelis, should be wiped off the face of the earth. At least censured if not completely barred from the United Nations, these inhuman monsters don't believe in the rights of others to move freely, to worship freely, and to live their daily lives without constant fear.

The Chinese Government strongly opposes any person from a foreign country who attempts to upset the equilibrium of Chinese Society. While I am sure you might find some fault with this, the fundamental assertion is sound. It may also be found in such places as Saudi Arabia.

Political Correctness is a game that it played by two different parties. The first party is the one that tells you what you must think and say lest you fall victim to the 'penalties' that they will inflict upon you, and the second party are those who for fear of getting into trouble, pretend that they mean what they say, as they repeat the statements of the party of the first part
Teaching English in China Private Schools: Working Conditions: What you need to know about Private Schools: Ask about your accomodation, 'return airfares', WHO PAYS for your visa and other legal documents, how many days per week you will have off, get them to 'define' your contract hours and check that you don't have to be in the school at other times. Be Warned: You can't legally enter China on a tourist visa and then switch to a work visa, the school must take you to the police station to register you, they must return your passport within a reasonable time. While they MUST obey the laws, you are equally guilty if they don't. Beware of E.E.T. Schools in China.
The problems that faced Israel 2000 years ago were the same as we face today in the West. As in Ancient Israel, our Western Judeo-Christian societies are filled with those who have no love for our foundational religion, traditions, culture or history.
According to the 'Guide To Online Schools', the site is an online education directory that specializes in online degrees, online schools, and distance learning. They help adult students find the best online schools, online colleges, and online universities with the best degrees and distance learning programs. I thought the site was rather interesting and wondered why someone thought it necessary to create it, but apparently there is a lack of 'general information' available on the net for those seeking a theology based education.
If the uprooting of Jewish communities advances peace, why would the uprooting of Arab communities undermine peace?! The call for uprooting Arabs is immoral; Isn't the uprooting of Jews just as immoral?!
Starting in July 2011 there will be more weight given to English proficiency and high-level qualifications in Australia. This is to stop immigration via the recruiting and employment of 'foreign students' who lack both English proficiency and proper business skills. One would assume that students who can pass the international language tests 'must have' a reasonable level of communicative ability in English, but this is just not so. As has been proved, it is possible for students to pass such exams without ever learning to hear or understand spoken English. With so few Chinese students being able to achieve a high level of English communicative ability as it is, one would imagine that China would be encouraging long term foreign English teachers to stay on in China; not requesting that they leave
Jews were an integrated part of German society until Hitler decided to exterminate them. All the wars between the Muslim population and the Jews in the territory which formerly was a part of the Ottoman Empire before being conquered by Britain and thereafter being known as the British Mandate, were started by Arab Nations outside of that territory.
I have written many times that one really needs to live in a Communist country to understand what 'political correctness' is really about. It is about 'power'; about 'control'; about concealing the truth by hiding it behind nice words. This for me is the reality of 'political correctness'. No matter it's foundations and causes, the activists who trumpet it the loudest, are the least 'non discriminatory'; the least supportive of 'equality', and the least concerned about human suffering, particularly the kind that follows their own unabashedly vicious attacks on those who do not yield to their demands
And why was this? Answer: Because he submitted to Political Correctness. Make no mistake about it! I am not talking through my ass here. If you want to know what political correctness is about, come to China. If you want to know what kowtowing to leaders is like, come to China
What Jimmy Carter has done is join the list of well known historical antisemites to create a new type of Jewish Blood Libel. The 21st century will go down in history (unless that history is totally rewritten) as the most racist of all time, and all in the name of 'non-discrimination' and despite all the well intentioned rhetoric spruiked in the name of secular humanity. It may be beyond the 'ken' of the politically correct who just like their news pre-disgested, to research that news, but when one begins to read of the Jewish / Israeli perspective of what is currently going on in the world, one can begin to understand the angst of the writer
Male victims of violent abuse: Once again, a man's life was ruined by the lies and misbehaviour of vicious women. Men are accused of being violent, but studies - no matter how politically incorrect - reveal that women are just as violent as men. And when it comes to murder, it has been shown that while men kill in the heat of the moment, women plan the event for months.
United Nations fraud: A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th and early 21st centuries have produced no deleterious effects upon Earth's weather and climate. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in hydrocarbon use and minor greenhouse gases like CO2 do not conform to current experimental knowledge. The environmental effects of rapid expansion of the nuclear and hydrocarbon energy industries are discussed.
Political Correctness activism permits no dissension, nor allows any disagreement with the officially presented view on any topic, and it is for that reason that we have to be on guard against it and those who fanatically preach it. It is also the reason why it is absolutely necessary to constantly offer the public, 'the other side' of the 'activist agenda coin'. Political Correctness is ultimately a game where the one who is speaking is free to speak, and anyone who speaks against him/her is in the wrong, unless of course what you are saying, has the support of the majority of the 'socio-political' elites. In truth, Free Speech is a Myth. I doubt that there are many westerners who would consider that China is a truly free and open country, where people can think and act as they please. Generally speaking however, it actually is a place where one is free to think and say what one pleases, except that is, when what you say runs contrary to the 'official and sanctioned opinion'. That my friends is how Political Correctness is ultimately defined. Unless you think, say and do that which is the 'officially sanctioned position', you are in deep 'do do'
We really do need to pay more attention to how our own minds operate, and how we are both consciously and subconsciously effected by Media Propaganda. Over 600,000 came to Israel and were absorbed into the society and became full Israeli citizens and an integral part of the state. This is in contrast to the Palestinians refugees who never received citizenship or rights from the Arab States that host them.
In the 10 years of its existence, the British Human Rights Act had intensified racial and religious tensions, caused widespread community resentment, introduced a degree of uncertainty to the rule of law and been associated with an influx of young, politicised judges. Senator Hutchins said he feared "social engineers" would try to use a charter to impose their moral views on others.

I constantly rail against all those wonderful apparently 'human loving' individuals who in their 'alleged' love for humanity would not hesitate to commit murder at the drop of a hat because they are just so damn sure of the righteousness of their cause and their actions. If you look at the history of totalitarianism in the 20th century, you will see that the first step in the long march to success, is to rip apart the traditional fabric of society. The politically correct who want to control our thoughts and actions, have already made sure that their own 'personal' objections to minority culture have already been excised
Cultural Marxists come in two colours. One is the ideologue who pretends to care about country but cares only for political power. The other is 'user' who jumps on the bandwagon of any movement that will serve his immediate purpose; feed his immediate needs; and make himself feel important. Political Correctness Ideology, whilst presenting itself as very humanistic; very altruistic; is first and foremost about 'schoolyard bullies' pushing people around.
I am a white Australian male, living in China. (9 years in 2011) When it comes to 'racism', I see it, hear it and experience it on a day to day basis. Of course it is not politically correct to say that, because within 'Political Correctness' Philosophy / Ideology, only whites can be racist: a discriminatory idea if ever there was one
When you look at 'rabid nationalism'; when you look at speech and thought control in China; when you see how the Dictatorial leaderships in a variety of so called 'totalitarian' countries treat and control their people, you can begin to understand how 'Anti-Semitism' is not just allowed to flourish, but encouraged to grow. Between passive political correctness and active political correctness, the world is playing a self-righteous game of Justifiable Anti-Semitism.
In my opinion, Western Political Correctness Activists are no different to 'rabid Chinese nationalists'. There is no place in the political correctness activist agenda for any person who offends them by not supporting their slanted view of the world. One of the most popular 'Politically Correct' Activist Agendas in World Politics today, is the 'Palestinians are Israel's Victims' agenda, and it's twin: 'Israel is a Terror State'. The constant and steady diet of complete and utter bullshit that streams forth from the press and so called humanitarian societies, ought actually to be enough to turn the stomach, but we have become so used to that diet that we no longer notice how repugnant it really is.
More than half of the 45 women on death row are there for killing their husbands and/or children and almost all reported that no one believed them when they cried out for help saying "I cannot be trusted with my children." - We are constantly indoctrinated to believe that Women are Angels
It is amazing when you think about it, that one of the offshoots of 'political correctness', is the attempt to introduce 'hate speech laws', concerning which it is claimed, that they will stop or at least punish people who promote 'violence' in one form or another, on the basis of 'race or other discrimination'. As previously stated, a person suffering from a pathological illness will not be dissuaded from certain actions just because there is a regulation prohibiting that action.
Updated March 17, 2012: Forgerygate: Barak Hussein Obama, President of the United States of America: Trojan Horse or Messiah?: Law Suits against Obama. By April 2010 - the date of the last entry, it was quite obvious that there was no more need to keep adding links. I guess Obama was not quite what the Politically Correct Multiculturalist Self-Righteous Ideologues thought he would be. No man/woman should be selected for such a high office based upon an ideology as stupid as Political Correctness.
Archaeology for the student and layman: Ancient Near East: Archaeology is a fascinating subject which, like other specialized fields, requires the general reader to 'trust' the opinions and conclusions made by the specialists; in this case, the archaeologists and historians who write the narrative to go with the archaeological finds. Sir Alan Gardiner (1961 in James Et.Al 1991 p.222) in reference to Egyptian History, pointed out that our knowledge of ancient cultures is actually based on a collection of rags and tatters.
Leave it to the folks at Amnesty International to take the side of Islamic terrorists in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. What was critical from the standpoint of international law was that if the attempt had been made "to minimize civilian damage, then even a strike that causes large amounts of damage - but is directed at a target with very large military value - would be lawful." There is no moral equivalence between terrorists and those fighting them, even if during those actions innocent civilians are accidentally killed.
I often wonder if the people of the United States of America 'actually' comprehend how much their country is hated in the world. To intellectually know it is one thing, but my question is, 'do you ever "feel" it?' The Scriptural target audience for Prophets of doom is generally their own people and their own leaders. The only way to survive judgement, is to judge oneself first. While America may indeed be a light in the world, if its' people in any conscious or subconscious way want to ascribe its' success to God, then they need to continually judge themselves, in order to ensure that the blessing will continue.
Laws don't stop hatred, they can only punish and/or suppress it. The solution to the 'Racial' hatred, is to find the root cause. The point of all my articles, is that the root cause is to be found in the abuse that the home grown Aussies have received, not from migrants, but from the thought police, whose ultimate agenda is simply to stifle 'all' dissent or 'disapproval' on any matter, so that they can pursue their agendas without interference
Updated March 17, 2012: Forgerygate: The Obama Presidency!: Ongoing commentary: Who is President Obama. I believe that Obama is a Trojan horse, and that in due time the American People are going to suffer badly for their mistake in choosing him as President. America it seems is considered both a god and a demon, with the title changing on a daily basis depending on the circumstance. In my opinion, America is nothing more than a country, and if the world cannot have success without the USA, or if the world falters when the USA falters, then I must ask: "whose fault is that?" The world at large should grow up and become independent.
Wurzelbacher, who also said he believed Obama would make America a socialist nation - Nevertheless, the Obama War Machine declared war on Joe the Plumber. And although the Democratic Party insists its the party of the little guy, the dirt-diggers got out their spades and began digging for dirt about Joe the Plumber
Given the nature of communist ideology we can hardly blame the student for having the expressed perspective. People digest whatever is fed them. We in the west tend to 'look down on' people in communist countries because we consider that they are a 'duped' people. But what then must we say of ourselves, if rather than being seekers of truth, or at least of the facts, we prefer to jump onto ideological bandwagons; making accusations solely because that is what our ideology requires. As my students are oft to quote (amongst many other things), "There are always two sides to every coin".
"And we did a survey of the judiciary in one province to see what judges and prosecutors thought about domestic violence. Most of them thought it was a personal matter, a family matter, something they should not interfere in."
"Because we live in an age of scientific miracles and technological breakthrough, utopia always seems just around the corner. In an age of scientific enlightenment it is easy to forget that, despite his technological wizardry, man is essentially the same depraved animal he has always been, and that these wonders can be quickly transformed into nightmares of a magnitude undreamt of." - Wm. Fankboner - Failure of Civil Institutions
How could the West have overlooked the evil [Hitler] staring it in the face, for so long, before standing forcefully against it? Today, we find ourselves confronted by a new enemy, also engaged in a violent struggle to transform our world. As we sleep in the comfort of our homes, a new evil rises against us. A new menace is threatening, with all the means at its disposal, to bow Western Civilization under the yoke of its values. That enemy is Radical Islam.
A basic tenet of feminist theory is its view of intimate violence as a manifestation of our culture's "patriarchal" structure, with its attendant differential status, power, and control, which are reflected in individuals' attitudes and behaviours. Dobash et al. (1998, 1992) propose that gender asymmetry in partner violence reflects a context of gender inequality both within the household and in the larger society. Their research program conceptualizes men as perpetrators and women as victims, but it fails to provide comparative findings on woman-to-man verbal and physical abuse to validate these gendered patterns.
What I suggest, is either that the 7 months of 1 Samuel 6:2 was originally "70 years", and/or that the 20 years listed in 1 Samuel 7:2, is an insertion based on an attempt to chronologise the period from Samuel to David's 7th year, and should read 70 years... Despite the way the story is contextually situated following 2 Samuel Chapter 5 & 6 in relation to battles with the Philistines, these verses can lead one to consider that in fact the Ark was returned after 70 years, and this, probably because David, who used to work for the Five Lords of the Philistines, was now King of Israel.
Reference to King Saul in 1 Samuel 13:1, is corrupt. 1 Samuel 13:1 literally reads: "Saul was a year old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years over Israel". (Miller & Hayes, 1986, p.129) Despite this, the King's Calendar has been able to fairly accurately determine when King Saul commenced his reign. The matter of determining any of these events when using standard solar year calculations are enormous, because not only do Biblical Dates not match up with known history, but are quite obviously 'self-contradictory'.
The simple answer to the question of how long Ehud judged Israel is to be found in the Book of Judges Chapter 3 verse 30. The answer is '80 years'. Unfortunately this figure is conspicuously incorrect, if only because the total figures provided in the book of Judges for the Period of the Judges, is excessive of the time frame provided in 1 Kings 6:1, for both the Period of the Judges and the Monarchy of Israel to the 4th year of King Solomon.
What is not normal, is that many so called educated and politically correct western idiots choose to ignore reality in preference for their own fundamentalistic political agendas, some of which are just totally racist. Calling themselves humanitarian and compassionate, they are in fact fundamentalists who can brook no argument contrary to their own position.
We live in a complex world that just loves to reduce everything to slogans and catch phrases. In today's politically correct world, I can call you a whole string of bad names and get away with it, unless I happen to include some reference to your colour, ethnicity, gender or sexual preference. (The words White - Caucasian - Male and Heterosexual are not however considered derogatory or offensive.) At that point, you will be permitted to claim that you suffered from 'emotional pain, distress or trauma'. This would classify you as having been 'emotionally abused'. Emotional Abuse for Emotional Abusers is a way of living and coping - it is their method of relating to those around them. It is very much a part of their character - to belittle, wound, manipulate, control, and otherwise mistreat by withholding love, or putting conditions on love or acceptance
Emotional Abuse: Child Abuse: Husband Abuse: Female Abusers: Activist Abuse: in this article, I am going to look at the issue of 'Emotional Abuse', through a variety of lenses. Each lens filters and uses information gleaned from articles related to the abuse of men by women. We will start with a look at abuse within religious and political contexts, before moving on to address issues related to Children and their fathers.
I am sure you have sent this with the best of intentions, believing you were doing your part to create world peace. But harmony arrives in the form of human kindness, acceptance and compassion, not through segregation or attempts at forced conversion. Stein's comments about being free to interpret God as we understand him have merit, but the distortion that follows needs to be challenged.
Father convicted for smacking his child: Some blame violence on excessive wealth, excessive leisure time, insufficient counselling services, and governmental neglect. And while everyone openly or secretly blames parents for the violent nature of their children, every day secular society does it's best to deny parents the right to control or punish their children
Feminism: I once studied domestic violence at university, and know that contrary to the political agenda which foists onto the unsuspecting public that 'all men are abusive' or that 'only men are abusive' or that 'it is always the man's fault', that childhood abuse victims often end up in abusive relationships, because it is the only type of relationship that they know how to deal with. A childhood abuse victim will either subconsciously seek out an abuser, or failing that, will eventually turn an otherwise non-violent spouse into an abuser
The Palestinians depend on Israel for electricity, water and fuel and the whole world expects Israel to keep the Palestinians supplied with these essentials. If Gaza is under Israeli occupation, then how can it be said that Hamas is in control, and how is it that the Palestinians can keep "launching near-daily Kassam rockets" into Israel. If Gaza is under occupation, why does Israel stand accused of 'incursions'? Again, if Gaza is under occupation, who are the Palestinians to be making demands for concessions as a pre-requisite to peace?[/
The majority worldview today is xenophobic. Take away the word 'Hatred' from the definition of this word, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It is normal. It is easily observed in the natural world - you know, the world of 'evolution theory'. It is natural. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of national politics, security, and culture, it is a must if a country is to survive 'intact'. If the culture of a nation is to change, that change should be a natural evolutionary process. Such processes usually take considerable time.
The way events are unfolding in Palestine, Gaza, the smaller Palestinian territory on the Mediterranean Coast, will soon be totally controlled by Hamas, and will be a separate state to the larger Fatah controlled West Bank. How this situation will unfold in relation to Palestinian peace with Israel, is still debatable, but with the animosity between the two factions, Fatah's West Bank leadership is likely to take the high moral road to normalisation of relationship with Israel and in consequence thereof, declare Palestinian Statehood.
Political Correctness and Multiculturalism: Why do I find Political Correctness freaks totally repulsive? It's quite simple really. I live in China. You know the place! It's that totalitarian society that people are always harping about, where no one has any freedom, and where the government controls everyone and everything. Why is it that I find I have more freedom to speak my opinions within this country, than within my own
Religious folk were too busy going to Bible studies or Home meetings, and secular organisational people needed miles of bureaucratic red tape unravelled before they could do anything. So at times I have been left to care for those for whom no one else cared.
Former PA foreign minister Mahmoud A-Zahar of Hamas said Friday that recognizing Israel contradicts the Koran, Israel Radio reported. In an interview with a Hamas-affiliated Web site, A-Zahar said that Hamas had not given up on the principle that all of Palestine is Muslim land.
During our chat in the bookstore, it became obvious to me that I was the target of a professional beggar, albeit, one highly skilled in the English language. He had informed me that he had run away from home 5 days earlier, after stealing some money from his parents, and was now living on the streets, eating garbage
Child Safety Minister Desley Boyle said the findings shattered society's image of the caring and devoted mother and the belief that men were more likely to abuse children. "We have an idealised image of mothers - that they feed their kids before themselves - but I'm sorry to say, it's not always true," Ms Boyle said.
And so today, as we fearfully walk along not willing to make of ourselves hypocrites by reneging on some of our highbrow social agendas, we have begun the slide into a madness that first commences with our refusal to see what is clearly before our eyes and to hear what is clearly spoken in our ears, and which then rushes headlong into blatant hypocrisy that self justifies by the slimmest of threads. "There is a kind of conspiracy not to punish the criminals. Hundreds of Palestinians were killed in the recent struggle between Fatah and Hamas - Who will punish those who gave the orders - Who will punish those who committed [the crimes] - Who will punish the people who remained silent...?
Origins of the Universe: Political Correctness in Science. One day I began to notice there were people pushing an agenda called 'Creation Science', which today I guess we can consider the forerunner to the Intelligent Design Movement. So did Mother Nature know that an asteroid was going to hit the earth? Wouldn't that imply intelligence? Wouldn't a hostile environment have done away with the little blighters long before they grew wings? When you look at nature, the ultimate social norm is survival at any cost. Kill or be killed. There are no niceties in nature, nor are there any morals
Updated in 2011 - There is one absolutely undeniable true fact that exists in Palestine; that Hamas does not now, nor has it ever, and nor does it ever intend to live in peace alongside of Israel. Only Stupid Bleeding Heart Judeo/Christian White Westerners fail to be able to see what is written and hear what is spoken by Hamas in this regard. Even the United Nations is Anti Israel. Beware of False Prophets who cry Peace! Peace! when there is no Peace! The most recent announcement of Hamas / Fatah unity in 2011, is designed to make certain a positive reponse from the United Nations in September 2011, to the establishment of the Palestinian State. Within 3 years, there is going to be another all our war with Israel designed to wipe it off the map.
For years the people of Israel have declared that they only want peace with their neighbours, but we know that their words are all lies. They say that they want true dialogue with their neighbours, but it is clear that they never want those dialogues to succeed. They blow up every situation to serve their own interests and a foreign agenda.
"Muslims will have a more and more decisive voice in the makeup of European governments." - "Every European with a right mind has every reason to be frightened," - "It is time one should wake up and realize what is happening in Europe," According to Professor Israeli's new book, "As many as 100,000 French and British citizens have converted to Islam over the last decade".
XinJiang is Muslim territory! It is now populated with Han Chinese who have been paid to go live and work there. Call me cynical if you must, but I can't help wondering if the real issue here isn't about some Local people wanting to get rid of, not only of the Han Chinese, but a foreign religion. That is not meant as a slight against Muslims, for in fact I have many Xinjiang friends, but 'greasing the wheel' is common practice in China, and a greased palm could solve a lot of problems if for instance you had (Han Chinese) foreigners trying to convert your kids to another religion.
Cosmologist Steven Weinburg was first to address the question, should science do away with religion? He responded with an unequivocal Yes, saying: the world needs to wake up from the long nightmare of religion.... Anything we scientists can do to weaken the hold of religion should be done, and may in fact be our greatest contribution to civilization
The difference between Martyrdom and Suicide is that the Martyr will gladly die for his faith, if that is the lot that befalls him; whilst a suicide takes matters into his own hands. The early Christian church had to stop people from seeking martyrdom. It is a contradiction in terms. When one lives in China and encounters Christianity everyday, one finds it hard to believe that there is a necessity to have Christian Martyrs in China.
The Rise of Islam: Immigration and Assimilation: As every convert to Islam or other religion will tell you, there was a void in their life that was filled by an acknowledgment of and relationship to the Divine. The Intellectual morons of western countries including our own simply cannot understand this or accept it, because to do so would negate their own ideology. In destroying traditional culture, and attempting to put into it's place a 'multitude of cultures' (multi-culture), that symbiotic political correctness creature that lives off 'multiculturalism', has somewhat succeeded in giving special status to 'other culture'. As such, for many, this 'special culture' is very attractive.
The thinking behind Political Correctness is that if you say anything with which we disagree, we will punish you using laws that we had introduced for the specific purpose of controlling the voices of the population. I was asked last week why I object to Multiculturalism. My answer was that I do not in fact object to multiculturalism. What I object to is it's symbiotic relationship with totalitarianism - with Political Correctness. When you punish me for not deceiving you with politically correct language, I object. If you ask me a question, I will give you my honest opinion. If you are a Politically Correct person who prefers that I lie, then sod off
Political Activists: As Sheik Hilaly discovered, the protections offered him under the symbiotic blanket of Political Correctness & Multiculturalism, don't protect him from activist agendas. His fatal mistake was touching a sacred cow - the principles of Feminism
This event actually happened in the Kansas House (not Senate) in Topeka on January 23, 1996. Joe Wright is the pastor of Central Christian Church in Wichita and was guest chaplain that day. Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.
'Like it or not, Islam has 1.3 billion adherents around the world," says businessman Farid Ghadry, the president of the Reform Party of Syria, a Washington, DC-based organization whose aim is as its name. He is responding to the question of whether reforming the increasingly politicized religion is any more realistic than rejecting it altogether.
Do you think that being Palestinian or Muslim means anything to the political leaders? While the American people complain about the number of casualties their people have suffered in Iraq, the fact is that the majority of deaths in Iraq are Muslim deaths at the hands of other Iraqi Muslims. Does being Iraqi or Muslim protect them or the Palestinians from political Islamic Terrorism? The issue is not one of finding a way to peace. That way has always been open. More than all the political demands of the bleeding heart Muslims could have been achieved if Palestine had accepted statehood in 1948. No land would have been lost to Israel, if the Arab countries had not attacked Israel and lost.
Palestinian Statehood 2011: In view of the connection between recent events and the statements made in this 2006 article, it is obvious that nothing has really changed and the People of Palestine are still Pawns on the chessboard of their Arab Masters.
Academics, Media and Activists: The point however, is that this is either scientific nonsense, or our legal and ethics systems are complete BS. Nobody in today's libertarian bleeding heart society accepts that rape is defensible, so either rape victims should just get over it and deal with it like the animals do, or this evolutionary scientific theory is little more than a method to either keep the theory of evolution alive, or to promote ones scientific self
How dare anyone call us violent! We'll show you violence! How dare you insult the religion of Peace! For this you must die! We don't know what Pope Benedict said or meant But we are insulted by what Pope Benedict said. We don't forgive the Pope. Benedict's words will cause violence between Christians and Muslims. Benedict doesn't understand Islam. Pope Benedict is under the spell of the Jews
In 2006 public statements were made from within the leadership and Media of Palestine, that the PA syphoned off funds that should have been used to help the Palestinian people; that the real violence and economic woes of Gaza were caused by Palestinian gunmen, and that local Media were living under threat and intimidation, lest they publish the truth about what goes on in Palestine. Today in 2011 we hear that everything is just rosy!
The war continues because the Arabs could care less about the Palestinian people. The leaders fill their swiss and Paris bank accounts with cash; pay for their kids to study in expensive schools in America and other places; and spend a fortune on arms and 'the struggle'. If they weren't such lackeys to a political ideology, they would be building up the economy, and giving their people what they need. Then when they are strong, they can engage in a real war with Israel.
This guy is a vile, vicious, IGNORANT person who needs someone to show him some love and compassion...only a person who has been hiding in a barn his whole life would write something so hateful. This is the type of First Amendment expressions that lead to people getting hurt by those who find something to validate their own ignorant and hateful attitudes
So am I a prophet as a couple of religious fundamentalists requested to know? If I am, then I don't understand why many more are not? My "prophetic vision" does not come from thunder and blinding lights, accompanied by supernatural voices, it comes from a mind that has learned the hard way not to trust people who claim to have the truth, and one that prefers to look at everything honestly while totally aware of the human preponderance toward prejudice
So what do you call it when statistical probability says that something is impossible, and yet it happens? Well, I suppose when it comes to being struck by lightning, you would call it "bad luck". But what do you call it, when at various points throughout history, a group of people suffer national disasters on the exact same date that their religious deity first pronounced destruction on them, and which coincides with the same date that on two occasions, they had their religious temple destroyed by enemy troops?
"Whilst Hitler was delusional to think that he could conquer the world, the current government of Israel must be, despite being called a secular government, a fanatically religious government hell bent on forcing the appearance of the Messiah to save Israel from her enemies" concluding that "If this gamble succeeds, Messiah will arise and all will be well with the world. If this plan fails, Israel will be no more"
The Palestinians have given the lie to virtually all the scenarios so hopefully envisaged by their friends. They did not construct schools, roads and hospitals; they made no effort to turn Gaza into a thriving state. They elected a radical Islamic Hamas government. They permitted the smuggling of huge quantities of weapons and terrorists while creating new bases for terror. Palestinian society has descended ever more into advanced anarchy.
Misappropriating Jesus into Palestinian Islamic tradition allows the image of the Crucifixion to become a Palestinian symbol, which they then use to portray themselves and other Muslims as victims of Israel.
I live in China, (10 years now) and I am required to fit into Chinese life. If I don't like it, I should go home. If you tried to put this Political Bullshit onto the Chinese Government, the Islamic Governments, or any country whose people's culture or religion was different to our own, then they would shoot you or throw you out of the country. If a migrant doesn't respect the country to which he/she moves, then THEY should get out!
The people who spawned and espouse Political Correctness and a host of other 'human rights' issues, are today no longer concerned with the truth. They don't give a damn about it. So corrupt have they become in their own 'self idolisation', that neither do they hide their constant approval of the lies that are told by Palestinian and other terrorists. There is general acknowledgment among Palestinians that Arab leaders bear responsibility for the mass flight of Arabs from Israel in 1948. When any organisation needs to dispense with truth in order to promote their story and when they must manufacture justification for bloodshed and murder, we have a duty to recognise that true justification for that bloodshed and murder is a lie
The debate over whether access to pornography can change the way a person behaves - or, indeed, whether it will ultimately lead to the collapse of Western culture - has raged for decades, even centuries. Ask any Feminazi and they will tell you that men are degenerates, and that porno degrades women and leads to all sorts of manifestations of sexism and discrimination. But AS PROVED in this article, porno affects no one. (The Fems lied!)
Terrorism and Multiculturalism: PC types often like to accuse our citizens of xenophobia, which, according to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary is the "fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign". I for one plead guilty to fearing things that are 'strange and foreign'. The Islamic world, which includes about a fifth of the world's population, is not much different to the Roman Catholic World of five hundred years ago. It was a world where people were required to hold a foreign allegiance that took precedence over national allegiances.
Abused Children: Child Prostitutes: The children are abducted from remote Christian villages in the Punjab and garner about $2000 each from slaveowners who use them as servants or in the sex trade. The Christian children live lives of misery and brutality at the hands of their Muslim owners.
We have been led astray by irresponsible journalism and a plethora of political agendas, into believing that 'we' are to blame for the violence of the poor and downtrodden. Nothing could be further from the truth. As statistics show, more Muslims have been killed by Muslims in their quest for power, than any of us have been killed by Muslims. Those seeking power care naught for human life, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Palestinian, Iraqi, Israeli or American.
'The Forces of Evil are winning! Everyone is just too afraid! Most people have believed the lie!' Everyone is so concerned to be politically correct and so worried about being perceived racist, that they fail to see that in fact, the true racists with the truly incorrect political agenda, are the ones pointing the finger and doing the name calling
To paraphrase a Biblical saying, it seems that nowadays, it is easier for "a camel to fit through the eye of a needle" than to find someone who speaks plainly, says what he means and means what he says. Political correctness makes my skin crawl, and yes, from those who take either side of an issue. I have always believed "everything in moderation." That means being nice too. If being nice means someone is obscuring or twisting the truth, there is nothing at all "nice" about that
Children's Rights: Drugging Children: One parent I am working with was told that because her son could not hold a pencil correctly he was ADHD and needed to be on Ritalin. The child is 4 years old. He likes to play and sing like many children do. This is unacceptable to school officials. In this case and in many others I have seen, the school official is actually making a medical diagnosis without a license, which is against the law. It has become accepted that even teachers can diagnose a child.
Five years later in 2011 nothing much has changed in the way Activists, The Media, The United Nations and Hamas lie! And as we have discovered over the last couple of years, many of these lying activists end up raped or murdered by the very people they 'lie for'
We live in a (western secular) world that while doing its' best to remove God and Religion from our lives, nevertheless, constantly preaches 'morality'. This might seem a strange concept, but in fact, we are constantly being pushed to accept certain 'moral norms', based solely on the basis that someone, some group, or some Political Party has endorsed the issue and formalised it in law
Video Piracy in China: One salesman in Beijing reported that they can't get pirated copies of Brokeback Mountain fast enough. The young people here think it is a great story. Did I expect to be shocked by homosexual scenes? Not sure! But I wasn't! Did I think I was going to see some loving tenderness between two men? Probably! But I didn't! They spent more time punching each other out than being lovey dovey! Did I see something really eye opening? You Bet!
It is important, in safeguarding our children, to know which groups of men put children at most risk of abuse. The study documented that of the 26 percent of males who abuse children sexually, 30 percent are stepfathers, 24 percent are adoptive fathers, and 20 percent are the mothers' boyfriends. None of these were the biological fathers of the children. Together, these groups represent three-fourths of the abusing males in our society.
You may be shocked at what you discover in relation to the number of Children who are abused in society, and the lengths to which some people and organisations are going to keep us from the truth.
Joseph received his vision as a 17-year-old youth, only to enjoy its fulfillment some 13 years later when finally at the age of 30, after being proven through many trials and disappointments, he was raised up to the saving of nations. Now, here is the rub. During the delay the dream tests and refines us. So, the question right now is: how do we respond to the dilemma of delayed fulfillment?
In 2012 the truth of this article (written in 2006) is still true, for it comprehensively articulated the reality that still exists in Israel; that Israel is trying to perform both an illegal and immoral act. It is trying to commit suicide. They don't remember the time when busses and cafes didn't periodically explode. The soldiers of the blood line don't know that in essence, the oligarchy that sends them to the front lines are the very people that created the strategic danger for which they are now being asked to risk their lives.
In April 1849, the Carlow convent received a visit from the Most Rev. Jean Baptiste Francois Pompallier (Vicar Apostolic of West Oceania), who came to beg the Sisters to found a community in New Zealand (where he later became the country's first bishop). Superior of St. Leo's at the time of his visit was Mother Mary Cecelia Maher. On 27th August, at Antwerp they embarked on the 'Oceanie', and arrived in Sydney Australia in early February 1850
After all these years of fighting, they now want less than what was freely offered to them in 1948, they want less than all that they lost till 1967? And they bear no animosity toward Israel? How anyone can fail to believe what Hamas has so clearly stated so many times - That Israel must be destroyed - is utterly beyond me. As long as the Palestinian Leadership desires death for their people so that they can score political power, the palestinians and Israelis will die. But one day, maybe the Israelis will have had enough. Maybe on that day, they will give the Arab World and the Palestinian Leadership what they so eagerly cry for – Martyrs! Maybe Israel will give you millions and millions of Martyrs in just one moment of time, and after that, there will be peace.
he day we stop listening to our own good judgement, to logic, to commonsense and to decency, we cease to be 'discriminatory'. When the right to think and feel, and express oneself casually in conversation, or to offer opinion on an issue, results in abuse for being racist, I believe that what we are seeing, are not people who are 'anti-discrimination', but 'closet racists', who cannot deal with their feelings and emotions, and so punish 'honest' citizens for voicing what 'they themselves' cannot.
Pope Gregory's speech honed in on one aspect of history, the decadence and fall of the Roman Empire.. The Roman Empire fell because it corrupted from within. By firstly becoming morally bankrupt to the point that even though Rome became a Theocratic state, in rejecting the former national traditions and the then current Christian Laws of God, every man and prelate sought his own pleasure and satisfaction. But when a country and its' traditions, culture, religion and moral values, are subverted from within by the deception, stupidity, ego or political and social avarice of those with no inherent patriotic love of country, the crime, for that is what it is, is not that of the perpetrators, but of the dull witted and lame of spirit, who tainted with fear or complacency, allow the benefits of their lives to be denied their heirs
It was reported in another article that President Bush in Reference to Hamas, said: "As democracy takes root, the responsibilities of governing will have a moderating influence on those who assume power in free elections. Did Bush even read what they wrote for him to say? It's easier to be a Martyr and you get 72 Virgins which is a much better pension plan than any Politician gets.
Multiculturalism, the rabid white political correctness thought police, and the Muslim religious intolerance of Secular Western free and democratic lifestyles, is leading to a clash of civilisations
Saudi Arabia is where the money, the religious fanaticism, the Terrorists and the Oil comes from. Rather than constantly threatening Middle Eastern countries with Invasion, the USA should cut to the chase, pull out the root, and get rid of the Problem. The world already accuses the USA of instigating the Iraqi invasion for no other reason than control of Oil. So why not do it for real?
Science and Academic DisHonesty: Fake Science: False Reporting: Bias in Evidence: Today of course, we are far more scientifically advanced. Scientists are well and truly on top of that deadly disease called 'Cancer'. From all the reports that I have noted over the years, I have figured how to ensure I never get it - Don't Eat, Drink or Breathe.
What I think is interesting about the Danish Cartoon debacle, is that the Muslim world has managed to manipulate the event and get people cowering, a feat that no Jew or Christian has managed in relation to the horrendous 'religious sacrilege' that every so often raises its' head under the banner of 'freedom of artistic expression'. Europe's abandonment of the Judeo-Christian foundations of its culture during the last century has left it devoid of any firewall against the enormous encroaching pressures of militant Islam. We stand at the junction of two crossroads. One is called Hypocrisy, and the other called Truth. The Muslim world has backed us into a corner
I have read of instances where the aggrieved, many years later, sought legal redress, most commonly in the form of $'s, and complained of the 'trauma'. The question comes to mind, "if as a person one year younger than the age of consent, you suffered trauma, then why is it that now that the legal age has been lowered one year, that young people legally able to indulge, do not also suffer trauma?"
My view: Let those who are for us be with us, and let those who are not with us, be removed from our midst... Beneficiently superior to all others, and with puerile enmity toward the USA, Europe not only opened her doors to Islam, but applauded (at least in private) the Islamic attacks on the USA, and naturally, being the historical seat of Anti-Semitism, has willingly assisted the attempted destruction of Israel, whilst hypocritically calling for peace with Israel and demanding more and more concessions from that dangerous country.
This article was sent many years ago by Judson Cox of NC, who asked that I consider publishing it. The author, Brian Sears was 15 years old at the time. He had been home schooled and had recently become a regular columnist for the North Carolina Conservative. newspaper. This article is well worth the read. R.P. BenDedek January 2013
It seems that the only people who still have a democratic right to 'free speech' are those now legislated by government, to have such a right. If you do not belong to such a particular legislated group, not only do you have no right to redress, but may be victimised, penalised, charged, fined, imprisoned or even under the right circumstances, killed. History teaches us that when a civilization reaches its' peak, it begins to collapse. We live in an age where everything happens quickly, and so unlike past history, the collapse of nations and empires today, can be achieved in a very short space of time.
This is a lame duck justification for the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth. One cannot use a 'lack of evidence' as 'evidence' of anything. (Except in America where a Jury in a Law court can find a person 'not guilty' of a crime, only to see that person found 'guilty' in a civil case. Totally beyond me!?) If there were other secular records of Jesus, then it is not beyond possibility that they ceased to exist long ago. Bearing in mind however, that according to the New Testament, the Christian movement did not commence within an elitist educated class of citizens, but amongst common folk, it is hardly surprising that there are no 'public' records of him.
The bottom line is that we are being made to feel guilty for being White, Western and Wealthy, and I will include here, "Being Male". After all, it is the male of the species who was the slave owner, and is the war monger, the child abuser, the poor provider, the wife beater, and the faithless marriage partner. - I sympathise with both sides. Israel was a minority which became a majority because of the war. The Palestinians had no weapons to fight back, so they used suicide bombers. I don't condone suicide bombing, but if the shoe was on the other foot; if the Palestinians had weapons and the Jews didn't, I think the Jews would be doing the same thing.

I typed off the articles and promptly forgot about them. It was only after noticing that I had had 2000 hits on them that I decided that I had better take a serious look at the Chronology of Seder Olam Rabbah. I hope that readers will find some inspiration and understanding of the Seder Olam Rabbah through these series of articles.
Interestingly enough If I say that Americans always come across pompous and arrogant I am called a racist by those same Americans and told that I should kiss their feet because of how wonderful America is and how much it has done for Australia - thus making their response a justification for my statement. Sometimes people like to 'correct' my facts. Unfortunately, they sometimes fail to actually 'see' what I wrote, and 'react' to a perception of what I wrote.
The elite Baby Boomers turned the United States from the most prosperous countries on the planet to a country heading toward bankruptcy. It acquired a massive foreign trade deficit that will take generations to pay off. It deconstructed U.S. industries and the invited the invasion of millions of illegal aliens.
Christianity Dying out in Europe and USA: Anti-Israel readers reading this article, would do well to consider what the world, the USA and the UN has done to the Palestinian People in the name of Politics and Anti-Zionism before jumping on ideological war horses with which to attack Israel in the name of the Palestinian poor wretches. The lies that have been told to justify the continuing poverty of the Palestinian People whilst their leaders rake in Millions from World Agencies, include that Palestinian poverty is Israel's fault, when in fact, Israel's economy relies not on the alleged 'Choicest parts of Palestine', but upon education and technology. Israel's GDP rivals that of Saudi Arabia. What has Saudi Arabia contributed to the Palestinian People's Education and Technology?
This article written by Sarah Honig in 2005 is timeless and still relevant in 2011. In May 1939 America turned back to Europe the German luxury liner St. Louis with 907 distraught Jewish refugees on board, most of whom subsequently perished in the Holocaust. In 1942, due to unrelenting Arab pressure, Britain refused entry to Eretz Yisrael for the nearly 800 Jews on the rickety Struma, docked in Istanbul. All but one refugee drowned.
It was Jesus and Jesus alone who came up with a religion that insisted that the church and the state must be kept clearly separate. - Charles Carroll, signer of the Declaration of Independence, insisted: "Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments" (as quoted in Steiner, 1907, p. 475,).
The real importance is that in this Anti-Israel (Anti-Semitic) century, every effort is being made to rewrite history and present Israel and the Jews as a fictious or insignificant historical people. An ancient seal bearing an archaic Hebrew inscription dating back to the 8th century BCE has been uncovered in an archeological excavation in Jerusalem's City of David, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Thursday. The find reveals that by 2,700 years ago, clerks and merchants had already begun to add their names to the seals instead of the symbols that were used in earlier centuries

"The degree to which the MSM, academia, and other members of the Western intelligentsia live in a fantasy world of narcissistic self-righteousness is extraordinary. But the phenomenon is not new". Maybe the Prime Minister will stand up and say, "Fellow Australians, It's OK to be proud to call yourself Australian. It's OK to be your 'Aussie Uncouth' self, as long as you are decent and law abiding!"
The degree to which the MSM, academia, and other members of the Western intelligentsia live in a fantasy world of narcissistic self-righteousness is extraordinary. But the phenomenon is not new. - (Stephen Schwartz) - I specifically talk about the issue of how we are lead astray by media and interest groups, as they seek to make us believe their particular philosophies
In addressing this issue, let's ignore the jubilation of academia, and the ecstasy of the intelligentsia, for the intelligentsia are anything but intelligent, and academia is anything but academic. They are the wise monkeys of the world, about whom St. Paul wrote, that their wisdom is less than the foolishness of God. I'm going to ignore the devastation of the religious leaders, about whom St. Paul wrote that they sought signs whilst all the time ignoring those signs of God that were plainly visible. This letter is addressed to those 'believers' whose faith has been shattered or is in doubt. This revelation has devastated churches and disillusioned believers, and the question now to be asked and answered, is 'why?'
Political correctness is just one tool in evidence of an underlying cancer slowly eating away at Western Democracy. Children are turning away from 'our' traditions, because they have failed to give them 'inner emotional stability'. Finding no ability to put their 'faith' in what Modern Society offers, they seek something 'more substantial' and more emotionally satisfying. So afraid are we of not being perceived as 'righteous', that we gladly crucify those amongst us who are not afraid to say what they think; and to further assuage our guilt we find ways of 'excusing' the terrorists. And then when the brutality of those we support becomes so personal and intense that we can no longer excuse it, we must find some politically correct 'sanitary' and acceptable means of expressing our disgust
Ramadan is OK - Christmas is Not! The family took offence at phrases such as "Christmas concert" and "Christmas disco", and the principal's greeting: "I would like to take this opportunity to wish all families a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and safe Christmas holiday period." It is high time that we stopped offending people by forcing unwanted words, ideas, themes and belief systems into people's minds and daily activities. Words and Ideologies that offend 'me' as an individual (and I know I am not alone in this) include such terms as: 'Political Correctness', 'Multiculturalism' and 'Words related to politics' such as Left, Right, Center; America, Iraq, United Nations; War, Peace and Triumph.
Teaching Conversational English in China: The majority of schools that hire foreigners to 'teach' their students, have no proper facilities for teaching, no aids, computers, bright and clean classrooms, nor any specific program to teach. They just DUMP the foreign teachers into overloaded classrooms full of kids, most of whom are not interested in speaking English.
He discusses in brief, what he calls the 'corruption trap', and in one section (Why Bad Governments Stay Bad) he explains that a good government is one which tries to be transparent. Although not equating 'good' with 'perfect' he explains that "Once the public comes to expect honesty, this expectation becomes self-reinforcing. Corrupt officials are exposed and denounced. Periodic reforms and house-cleanings address the worst offenses".
Religion is of course, the great murderer! Murder is the pastime of religion! In today's western 'decent' religious sphere, 'physical' murder has been replaced with 'emotional and verbal' murder. Character assassination is quite common as self righteous people go about demonstrating their 'righteousness'
Those who want to fight against 'religion in Society'; the ones who claim that they are fighting for 'personal freedoms', are in fact doing just what the Communists do. They 'oppress' religion in the name of the 'people', to protect them from being 'manipulated' by religious authority figures. Oppressing and suppressing religion, is to deny the right of people to believe and associate with like minded people, (and eventually as we have seen in Communist China, this practice fails!). Merely accepting what authority figures say without striving to understand with our minds is the furthest thing from the truth. An honest approach is one which can only be reached by clear, rational arguments.
There is only one true way to have faith, and that is to study to the extent of your capacity to prove to yourself the truths evident in our Torah: the basis for such faith is rooted in reason. People often ask me to justify or prove my 'belief' in God. I can't! Because the proof 'resides' within me, and is so intrinsically part of who I am, that to deny that G-d is, would be to deny that I am.
Lets face it, these changes are only being instigated because enough women have sounded off about their (probably exaggerated) concerns (I am racking my brain trying to recall the last time I saw a headline about such an occurrence of molestation actually occurring on a plane) or does this mean that it is occurring and these airlines know about it and are now trying to cover their collective arses, or does this just mean that more paedophile males prefer to fly Qantas and Air New Zealand and the airlines have just figgered this out and are afraid of the bad publicity.
Israel, Rafah Crossing, UNWRA, United Nations. The Egyptians had hitherto turned a blind eye to what was going on in Gaza, and at the height of the recent war, prevented Gazan entrance into Egypt. The Egyptian Government does not want Hamas in control of the crossings, and faces Islamic wrath for it's failure to act.
Women are responsible for more than half of all child abuse cases in Queensland and are much more likely to neglect their children than men, a new report has found
These photos, while eliciting sympathy for the loss, fail to illustrate how this tragedy occurred. The journalists have left many questions unasked in this incident, among them - Why did the Palestinians start shooting from positions near playing children?
When any organization needs to dispense with truth in order to promote their story and when they must manufacture justification for bloodshed and murder, we have a duty to recognise that true justification for that bloodshed and murder is a lie.
Feminism and the Legal System - Abuse of Fathers: Abuse of Men: Male Suicide: Dysfunctional Boys in Society: Anti-male Sexism: I had friend, a MATE, in the Brisbane registry yesterday after attempting to file his documents and being informed it would take up to 10 months to see his kids. He simply went to the toilets at the registry and tied his tie to the sprinkler system and hung himself in hopelessness.
Social Engineering: Cultural Marxism: The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose, the Sydney Morning Herald blames it on obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social Inequity.
Traditional Values and Social Experiments: Apart from the ceremonial position of honour it [the monarchy] occupies, it is an important check and balance against the abuse of power, being important not so much for the power it disposes, but the power it denies others. He also went on to point out that in reference to the UN's 'Human Development Index', that 'At the very top of the list, constitutional monarchies dominate. In the last survey the top five, and most of the top ten, were constitutional monarchies. This is no co-incidence' he said.
2011 Updated: Will Egypt be controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood or something similar and turn into a rigid, rabid war mongering fundamentalist Islamic state? The Fundamentalist Islamic Future of Egypt: President Hosni Mubarak ruled Egypt for more than a quarter century and had no designated successor. What is Egypt today? First and foremost it is an Islamic Country, one that has been struggling to catch up with Western economic success. But it is not exactly a success story, and if the winds of Islamic fundamentalism keep blowing as they have, coupled as they are in Egypt with a people unimpressed with the governments achievements, then before long, Egypt will once again crumble into the dust of history.
A Chinese businessman I met on the plane from Hong Kong to Wuhan explained to me that he is being paid big money to hold seminars in Mainland China. He is very happy to take the money, but admits that it is a complete waste of time, for no one will listen to him or 'learn' about business procedures. 'The Chinese businessman', he informed me, 'thinks only of the immediate sale and of making the greatest profit possible, and never considers his loss when the potential customer turns away and goes elsewhere.'
Immigration and Assimilation: Chinese Culture: - My country, Australia, is officially a multicultural country, but in fact it was always so. The 'political' entity called multiculturalism, is, in my personal opinion, something that tries to raise 'foreign cultures' to some imaginary 'aspirational height'; whose value exceeds and therefore should replace our own homespun generic varieties. (Such will never happen in China)
The U.S. Secretary of State found 'the opportunity to call forth once again for China to halt its long-standing persecution of Christians' and 'championed the government relaxing its restrictions on worship.' I don't support 'restriction on worship'. However, I personally think that 'restriction on worship' - and - 'the Communist government forbids organized worship outside state-backed 'patriotic' religious organizations' are two separate issues.
But for this writer, the current political scheming by world powers, falling as it does at this time of the festival of Purim, reminds me that nothing has changed for Jews. Hated by the world from the time Abraham entered the Promised Land, through to the Mosaic Exodus, to the fall of Samaria in 722BC, to the destruction of the Temple and the Babylonian Captivity in 586 BC, to Masada, the pogroms, the Holocaust, the Six Day War and to the ongoing troubles in Israel.
Is not Jesus the 'Word of God'? Is he not the sole center of your adoration and worship? Is it not he with whom you have a relationship? While many things might interfere with or rob you of your desire to have relationship with him, how can anything dissolve him into nothing? How can he cease to be? I am amazed at how many people 'worship' the book. 'The Word of God, The Word of God', I hear fundamentalists preach from street corners, and my question is, 'which word of God'.
Why are so many people that are so interested in human rights so quiet about these issues that are so prevalent in dictatorial states? The bottom line seems to be, that for all their concerns for human dignity, human rights, equality, non discrimination, and women's rights, they are really only concerned for themselves
Western and Eastern Mores: The cowardly failure to recognize that cultural values may clash irreconcilably has allowed practices to flourish in our midst that would earn (and deservedly so) prison sentences were they practiced by natives of our society. Nowadays no surrender is too abject for our bureaucratic multiculturalists, whose sadomasochistic delight must have known no bounds when, for example, they subsidized from public funds the construction of a car park at the President Saddam Hussein Mosque, one of the two largest in the city in which I live.
There are many different article sections at KingsCalendar to choose from, and you may read anything from Legal Arguements on Archaeology to Social Commentaries on Israel and other places, to Photographic Stories from China. If any King's Calendar chronological determination disagrees with anything in the history books, it must argue the case as to why the history books are wrong, or why the evidence for an assertion is untrustworthy. Whilst there have been many attempts to solve the chronological riddle of the Bible's synchronisms of reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah and their synchronism with other Ancient Near Eastern Nations, no other research is based on a simple mathematical formula which could, if it is incorrect, be disproved easily.
Political Correctness: Children out of control: When children have no boundaries, they push and push until they feel invincible, and the law, because of the fact that these kids are minors - treats them with kid gloves - In the 10 years of its existence, the British Human Rights Act had intensified racial and religious tensions
The media (which has such freedom) abuses it by always going for the throat and looking for the faintest hint of 'dirt' and in so doing prostitutes itself for headlines and $'s, rather than do its 'alleged' job of general and investigative reporting
As for the Communist government's fears of instability due to a lack of complete control, my personal observations are that it is only the Government which is holding this country together, and despite western belief that the Government is actively trying to hinder democratisation of China, from what I have witnessed, the birth of democracy in this country, if premature would result in not only chaos, but the very likely prospect of civil war, as various factions seek to dominate their local areas.
Those that destroy the image of God like to talk about evolution, human rights and various types of 'enlightenment' which result in such things as 'feminism', 'multiculturalism', 'political correctness', and 'societal harmony'. But when you remove this false God and replace him with biological evolution from the primordial slime, the question begs asking, 'Why should we take part in such ideals?'
I do hope that you will find not only the Research presented here to be of some value, but will find much more on site to interest you. I do for instance have a section devoted to Israel Social Commentaries, as well as a section on Seder Olam Rabbah.
I am extremely skeptical of this sort of anonymously self-published attempt to solve a huge problem that has been occupying scholars for many years. In this case, I'm not at all sure that this problem has a solution, at least of the straightforward type the author envisions
But what of the issue of the Pharaoh who did not drown in the Red Sea? Well, there is a pretty simple answer to that one. Do you remember the story of the Patriarch Joseph? He made it to second in charge of Egypt, with recognition, might and power second only to the Pharaoh himself; and when Pharaoh was busy, it was Joseph who took his place. According to the King's Calendar chronology, The Mosaic Exodus occurred at the time that Amenhotep II became Pharaoh. Upon his accession to the throne, it is recorded that he took off for parts unknown in conquest of the universe. During that time, his grandvizier Rekhmire took his place.
