The Division Bell

Given the things we wrote in our previous post, the question arises, "Is there a tipping point. Is there a point where a complete division between black and white, or whatever else, becomes inevitable and unpreventable?" The answer is - certainly. The most obvious illustration of this is the division between North and South in this country prior to the civil war. Yet at the same time we all, including me, needs to beware of certain pervaisive myths and false beliefs. One of the big ones is that Abraham Lincoln was this great liberator of the Black race. Another myth is that flying the Confederate flag is the same thing as wearing a white sheet and parading around at night with torches. The K K K did not come into existance till after the Civil War, you will remember. In this case Blacks were actually subject to more pure hatred after the civil war than before. Of course another myth that was perhaps an over-reaction on the past posting, was that people see some comonality or ape like similarities between Blacks and primates. Obviously 96% of the D N A man shares in comon with the ape, and this figure is Exactly the same whether you be Black or White. One more pervaisive myth out there is that conservatives want to "Conserve" things. That they want to somehow "slow down inevitable progress". You saw this in the dialog between Matthew Harrison Brady and Henry Drummand when Brady says "How did we drift so far apart. We used to see eye to eye on everything". And Drummand says to Brady. "All motion is relative. (alluding to Einstein) Maybe it's you who moved by standing still and not keeping up with the times. Yet as one looks out over the horizon of Neo Conservatives today one sees actually very little that is "traditional" or preservative of American Values. Indeed it is the liberal Thom Hartman who talks of preserving traditional American values such as truth and justice, in his opening introduction. Indeed it is theNeo Cons who want to sweep away a hundred years of scientific and social progress. By the 1920's Creationism as described in the Bible had already ceased to become an intellectually respectable position. Also it's the neo cons who want to sweep away a hundred years of anti trust legeslation and take us back to the era of the Robber Barrons of the late 1800's, and they have become damned successful at this, too. It's the neo cons who seem to want to wipe away national borders and make us all one big business trading community with some vast world overseer. It's also the brain child of the neo-cons to balloon the national deficet to bail out our financial institutions.

Yesterday I watched a Glen Beck thing from Fox on the internet. Glen Beck was asking some obvious questions about Obama's fiscle asperationa for this economy and the health care community. The questions he raised were quite reasonable. I, too, see no need for a mad rush to pass any Health Care legeslation. We've got time. But here is where the division part of the equation comes into play. We "liberals" see an ongoing trend, and that is - medical insurance is becoming more and more loophole ridden and basically useless and not worth the premiums, and we see this as a situation that will soon become intollerable. We see small businessmen dropping employees from health plans. Of course conservatives also "see things". One article yesterday said that forty percent of doctors will leave the medical profession if Obama's health care bill passes in its current form, and that an even larger percentage of doctors are utterly opposed to this bill. I don't know if this assertion contains any truth but if it does- - the laws of capitalism would suggest that a lot of people should soon take up a medical major and become doctors because it's now financially lucritive, whereas before "there was just no room for new doctors. Perhaps all these new doctors won't be slaves to what the AMA thinks.

Of course Christians have spoken in the past of not only a psychological "Division" but a literal physical division wherein God separates the masses, separating the good from the bad. In the original story of Sodom and Gamorah- - there were a few good people amongst the bad. May I suggest these represent the few good people who are still in the Christian church, and it's only a matter of time before they are either driven out, or some event will come along that causes such moral revulsion in them they feel compelled to leave. Of course you know it says in King Solomon's time that "The Sodomite was in the land at that time". This remark begs the obvious question as to whether King Solomon lived prior to the destruction of Sodom and Gamorah. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to take a second look at the obvious. But in nature, too, certain things become increasingly obvious, such as cell division. There are various phases such as pro fase, meta phase and ana phase and all of that. Like a cell, the country was inwardly preparing to devide before the civil war. Back in 1980 the whole idea of the Rapture of the Church was starting to become out of fashion. Perhaps people were looking forward to the reign of Ronald Reagan as President. In 1978 a "C Change" occurred in the Borin Again Community with the advent of the Moral Majority. I was slow to pick up on this. In mid 1980 when I wrote my prophecy book, I was even then inclined to see Calvary Chapel people as a bunch of flakes. But I was heartly supportive of the agenda of the Moral Majority, and embraced the Christian Faith everywhere else in this country - aside from the flakes, fruits, and nuts here in California. But now I'm inclined to look on the whole situation differently. Calvary Chapel was never about "Peace and Love" and all that 'sixties Hippy stuff. That was just a passing come-on to put bodies in the seats. But in reality now that I've studied the matter- - the root of bigotry and ignorance runs deep in all of the Calvary Chapels. Obviously even people like James Dobson are not quite what they seem. Chuck Swendoll is a guy that either "God" or people from the Orion Federation told me never to write too. I broke that injunction once or twice. Of course Reverend Swendoll believes that if you were of age and didn't serve gladly in Viet Nam, then you aren't fit for his church. That was a deal breaker for me. These people, including Jesus Christ on KFI, are all infatuated with the state of continuous War that this country has been in since 9 - 11. You know, a wise man once said- - - "Don't argue with a fool too long because if you do- - a bystander observing the two of you will soon be unable to tell which one of you is the Fool." (Selah)

Akmadenajab of Iran is continuing to make his anti Isriali statements. One would be inclined to dismiss him as just another bad joke of that region of the world, a minor irritent. But the Federation tells us that Iran will be the source and cause of the next major international war. I think we need to yank out all of this hatred in Iran. Totally exponge it, like a dentist pulling a bad tooth. Otherwise it will fester and get worse and infect the whole area worse than it already is. As such a little "prophylactic" or preventative air raid action by Israel to knock out Iran's nukes doesn't seem at all a bad idea to me, in fact it seems like an idea we should all embrace. But on the subject of settlements in the West Bank, I think Netenyahoo (pardon my bad spelling) needs to take a lesson from history and realize that his actions are seen as a continuous affront to the Palistinians, and to pull back. I'm sure Palistinians must read US history and our dealings with the American Indian, and can't help but see the similarity. Netenyahoo should realize that this settlements thing as an area where the rest of the world is against him. I think peace would be a wonderful thing on the West Bank. I think we need to make the Palistinians understand that what they are getting in the bargain is tranquility and a better life style. But that they will have to give up their long standing military asperations. Can they do that?
