This is whats up with Africa
Death byWar
Death by disease
Death by starvation
Death by beasts of the field
Rev 6:2 And I saw,and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Rev 6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon, to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Rev 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
Rev 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Rev 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.?
It is not quite that simple because you also have to factor in what else is going on out there in ethereal land but it will get you started down the right direction as far as understanding what is going on.
You wanted to know were we are in biblical prophecy, people don't stay in denial too long because planet earth is coming down the pipe of Gods Judgement.

Recommendations on how to break the Flemo-crats blockade on Pres. Nominees to judiciary positions.
We are at a critical juncture in this stage of our history. I think it is time to bet the farm to get the particular type of judiciary the pres. Has been trying to nominate-that is primarily constitutionalist based judges.
This country desperately needs to return to court decisions based on the founding document and not on precedence. It is time to use the Democrats main weakness against them. The ole quid pro quo, something for something. A little compromise here(I hate that word) a little compromise there. Some arm twisting couldn't hurt.
Even the mainstream news media has seen the brundt of destruction of the constitution in the jailing of a news reporter recently. I think we may be able to expect a little help from them for the purpose of restoring our nation to form of Democracy envisioned in the original text.
If my links to articles worked right I would link the particular article I wrote last year but instead I think that what I will do is just cut and paste the whole thing right back here. It always amazes me when I go back in time and it is almost like reading someone else's writing . Am I really that good that I see even potential in my own squakings. Hmph. Well anyway here is the article.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal Income Taxes are unconstitutional
Here is a site and an article concerning some rumors that I have been hearing lately. One of the rumors that I have heard is that the 16th amendment was not ratified. The other one now is that the Federal government is not apportioning the taxes collected properly. Another apparent conflict is that the 16th amendment looks to conflict with the original constitution.
I think these are valid arguments concerning my discourse about the fact that the Federal Government has not been following the constitution for over one hundred years and that may explain the reason why people have an underlying disrespect for our Government and country as a whole. I don't care how much people are lied to there is a point of discomfort with what our government is doing that goes beyond describing. I have no doubts that this is a root cause of G.B. having such a hard time with his efforts. Not that the people have any reason to doubt his desires but that he is not giving the things of the constitution proper attention and redress concerning the correct authorization and use of power by our Government. The people are right to feel that the Government we have today is not built on a rock solid foundation but on shifting sand so to speak and as such people though probably financially secure are not secure in any of their social life. Funny thing about it is people are exacerbating their insecurities by accumulating an ever increasing amount of debt. Maybe the pundits of old were right in the fact that the masses are like a herd animal being led to a slaughter. With that I give a hearty HA HA . Don't ask me to join y'all , that's all your own problems.
Many many times I have heard people say that they just don't know what the future may bring. I don't blame them when they are whipsawed back and forth between liberal dumbocrats and Republicans. By the way it is the blindocrats that got the 16th amendment passed and are the main offenders of the constitution as if we didn't already know that, and I have no doubts that Kerry, if he was to win would continue to insult the very document that would have gotten him the job in the most powerful nation in the world.
Here is another dichotomy. How can the U.S.A. profess it's ideals of Republic when it itself is not following it's own advice? Like I said people even though they may not have a conscious knowledge of what's going on, somewhere in their subconscious they know that things aren't right. So until another Ronald Reagan comes along and spells out what he is going to do and then does it or tries to do it, it won't matter whether it's a Demoncrat or a Republican in office they will experience (in the words of the great King James I and VI)nuthin but trouble.
Anyway here is an excerpt and a link to the article site. I think you may find it enlighteningFACT #10: Congress passed an Act in 1894 to impose a tax on the incomes of citizens and resident aliens of the United States. The constitutionality of the Act was challenged in 1895 and the Supreme Court said that the law was UNCONSTITUTIONAL because it was a DIRECT TAX that was not apportioned as the Constitution required. (see Pollock v. Farmer's Loan & Trust Co., 157 US 429 [1895]).

I said this about a year ago
That the Constitution of the United States of America had been broken and here is some more evidence that the judicial system in this country knows it.
"Throughout our history as a state and as a nation the power to tax and to appropriate money exacted from the people has been considered as a strictly legislative power," Wormhoudt, now a member of the board of directors for the Institute for Justice, wrote. "[But] our Supreme Court's assumption of power, constitutionally assigned solely to the legislature with respect to school financing, is most unfortunate and clearly inconsistent with the foundations of a constitutional democracy."

Games
I play PC games in my spare time, mainly RTS or real time strategy games. The following are a few of the images from a game mod site of a game in the process of creation and I am looking forward to playing some day. Some of these game mods; this one in particular, are quite involved.
The craftmanship required is a delight to observe as well.

The Supreme Court's Job
Is not to unite the country. It is to defend the Constitution of the United States and to do it by upholding it. The President needs to throw strong constitutionalist based nominees at the congress until they acquiesce.
It takes courage to do so and that is what we expect out of our elected officials, but what Americans are getting is cowardice.
I see that a lot lately. Our country is filling up with a bunch of lilly livered chicken squats that at the first sign of resistance bwak down in favor of their God compromise.
This I say to them............bwak bwak buk buk buk bwak bwak. You say you didn't understand that. That's probably because I do not speak very good chicken. Disgusting language anyway.

An unexpected outgrowth of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta
As covered by WMAZ channell 13
OLYMPIANS LIGHT A TORCH... AT THE SUMMER REDNECK GAMES... THEY LIGHT GRILLS.IT WAS A TOILET TOSS FOR THE TITLE OF BEST REDNECK IN GEORGIA.THE RED NECK GAMES STARTED AS A CUE FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN ATLANTA IN '96.
My favorite is the butt crack competition.

My favorite is the butt crack competition.
And now a little on liter side.(water that is)
It is once again hurricane season and we have the first major one of the year bearing down on the gulf coast and already our area is recieving evacuees. All the hotels along I-75 as far north as W.R. are packed and turning people away. The sky is turning clowdy even though it is still several hundred miles from landfall in the pan-handle area of Florida.
I mowed my lawn today because I may not get a chance to mow it for a few more and even though it really isn't that high yet in another 3 days it would be a foot high, and the puny lawnmower I have will be struggling to get the job done(not to mention me).
You know how people up north are always saying "It's not the heat; it's the humidity, well not true. Here in Georgia it is both the heat and humidity that gets ya. If it ain't 96 it ain't hot here. And if it ain't humid it's still hot, and it is humid a lot here. The grass grows faster than weeds down here. Gotta mow twice a week as it is. I hear a lot of complaints about the grass growing so fast. And there is really no good time of day to mow, even at at 5 am it is still 72 sweat drenching and humid or at 5 pm it is 95 moist degrees.
Back to the Act of God known as a hurricane Here is a good link to a nexrad weather site.

I thought you wanted me back............Brother
Let me explain something to you people.......All who would read this. Like it or not believe it or not I AM A Sword. A weapon of war. My words cut and they cut deep. Right to the very depths of your inner beings. I feel no guilt in this. I keep this sword of mine sharp for it makes no sense to keep a dull sword around. My intent is to cut deep. My intent is to kill those stupid, unwise, foolish ideas that people have. My intent is to rid myself and others of their insanity contained in their compromised ideals and thoughts as expressed openly. I do not participate in open discourse for any other purpose.
Open discourse is not a game. It is a war. And he who has the sharper sword will always prevail.
If any wish to engage me-keep in mind the truth may set you free but it is also the very edge of my blade. Pray tell I only strike you with the flat of it for if I turn it edge on I will do so with all the fervrence of a crusader.
Also if you wish me to engage for you do not do so unless you have no other option for once I begin fighting for you I will do so mercilessly and you can have no reservations nor changing of minds because I will not stop once started. If you start me and do change your mind; once I have finished with your enemy, I will turn on you.
Your ideals will not survive. Need proof of this? Ask the Devil. I believe in only one way of war. Total annihilation

Darwin Award Winners 2005
Yes, it's that magical time of the year again when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved amongus. Here then, are the glorious winners.
1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.....

Ja ever notice (way down there)
People are willing to give up there freedom for prosperity. Freedom is not prosperity and prosperity is not freedom however you cannot be prosperous without freedom so if you give up your freedom "thinking" it will guarantee your prosperity you will become poor ergo if a nation thinks that it can give up it's freedom and retain it's prosperity it will fail in both freedom and prosperity.

Back to the Supreme Court
So the President gets his first nominee to the highest "human" court in the land. I suppose I should say more but I have this mellow streak going for me right now (No I hate drugs) and there is not much for the gp to go on though I have had a few inklings of whom I would like to see. Some of my picks you would have to add toung in cheek to.
Potentially this would be a turning point for the U.S.. Forest Gump says it best' "that's all I have to say about that".
Soooo let me tell you what I have been up to lately. (Yes I do have other hobbies besides verbally blasting away at my decrepit country). I play a lot of PC games and I have discovered to my delight that there are sites that do mods on some of my slightly older but favorite games. These people are outstanding at their craft and this stuff is open and free. They do it for the love of the game. I find that is so refreshing in an age where if you ain't got a buck you ain't got nothing.
I also enjoy the distraction from the every day ho-hum run of the mill death-murder-kill stuff we get on the tube. The News media down here has an incredible fetish with violence. It just freaks me out so I try and immerse myself in something that makes a lot more sense (war) than the locals acting like a bunch of heathans.
I am not sure how I will react to the upcoming cataclysms but one thing for sure this stinking world deserves it.

A fact is conclusive and permenent. There is no gaurentee that an argument will contain facts or be factual. If you are arguing facts or setting facts against one another in a contest to see which fact wins then you are saying that one fact wins and one fact a lie, which simply cannot be. Either it is a fact or it is not.
A cube with 6 different colors is seen by an idividual from one side seeing only green declaring it to be a green cube arguing with another who sees it from the red side and arguing that it is a red cube is still a cube but one of many colors and both combatants in the debate are at best only partially right. Which of course would be the weiners objective tieing his rightness to the victory.
This is what I see men doing today. Looking at a cube only from thier point of view. Apparently unable to or unwilling to change thier position at least long enough to see what the other sees and then investigating further so that they may discover that it is a cube of 6 sides with 6 different colors.
A person who is not a Christian and is unable to or unwilling to change his position long enough to see life from our perspective will never be able to take that walk around that cube and never be able to see it for what it is.
How does one see life from our perspective? Simple-say these words. Jesus save me, forgive me of my sins. And enter into life from a whole new perspective.

So the Supreme Court puts off the inevitable
The Supreme Court has dodged the idea that they will have to deface thier own building in it's recent ruling regarding displays containing religious content. Or have they? They still look hypocritacle and duplicitous to me.
Now just to make this perfectly clear, I am all 100% for public displays of Christianity. Just in case you thought I was arguing against the Ten commandments or any other chisled proclamation of God.
However My point is these men have just straddled a picket fence and as they try to walk down this pointy line they are going to find out that it is one inguinaly painful trip.
This is what it looks like they have said to me> This countries public buildings may display outside on their lawns religious displays but not inside their buildings, except for their own which they deem to be appropriate. That is strict hypocrisy in its simplest form.

Wisdom is not intellect. The power to know does not immediatly translate into the ability to devinate that is to deduce a new thing from given information. Nor the ability to utilize such in a proper manner which given the nature of the word would include the benifit of oneself and other people.

One thing people are doing I have noticed is confusing memory with intellect. A person with a good memory may appear intelligent but when their cognitive abilities are tested the actual intellect comes clear. If a person with a good memory attemts to decieve others into thinking they are smart or if same individual is themselves confused by thier own belief that because they can remember minutiae that they must be smart when in fact a good memory does not equal intelligence (After all animals exhibit good memory and we all know that they are only as smart as animals). Not very smart. Though there are mamals which exhibit intellect(dolphins) they are mainly hampered by an inability to use tools or in the case of dolphins limited even though they probably have the intellect to do so. To the layman-They got no hands. Yet I digress.
A person with intellect also may have a poor memory and by outward appearences look moronic but when tested for the cognative using say an IQ test turn up a surprising 133 with a bent for seeing things from the macro versus the memory induced micro.
