Resurrection Children's Sermon
A Baptist pastor was presenting a children's sermon. During the sermon, he asked the children if they knew what the resurrection was. Now, asking questions during children's sermons is crucial, but at the same time, asking children questions in front of a congregation can also be very dangerous. Having asked the children if they knew the meaning of the resurrection, a little boy raised his hand........ 
The pastor called on him and
the little boy said, "I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts
more than four hours you are supposed to call the doctor."
It took over ten minutes for the congregation to settle down enough for the service to continue. |

Jim Willie: Next Scandal to Break is Leasing & Theft of 20,000
Tons of Allocated Gold!
June 10, 2013 By The Doc 36 Comments
The Gold manipulation will continue until the
Gold market is totally broken, until the big banks that control it are totally
broken, or until the US Dollar & UST Bond structures are totally broken.
Personally, I am encouraged by the mid-April events to crash the Gold price. It
has resulted in exposure of the criminal element, in exposure
of the COMEX & LBMA as being desperately low in Gold inventory, in
exposure of the great difference between paper Gold price (futures contracts)
and physical Gold price (actual high volume sales), and in tremendous
motivation by the very wealthy to reclaim their Gold in Allocated Gold
Accounts. The bankers have brought to the table a Prima
Facie case that their corrupt Gold market attack was motivated by having no
Gold for contract delivery.
The Jackass forecast is for the next great
scandal to be centered upon the Allocated Gold Account thefts, which my
excellent source informs me involves the improper usage, leasing, and theft of
over 20,000 metric tons of Gold bullion.
The
German Government formal request for repatriation is the tip of the iceberg. It is a
contest, a race, between the breakdown of the USD/USTBond structure and the
COMEX & LMBA Gold market structure. The former is in the process of being
rejected by the Eastern nations, now organized. The latter
is in the process of being recognized as an empty arena with no Gold in
inventory.

Dear
Reader,
He
pushed ObamaCare through a Congress he didn't
even control.
Now
he's executed what could be one of the greatest
freedom-killing laws ever witnessed in American history:
Executive
Order 13603 is a potentially huge risk for
investors and retirees.
We
feel so strongly about this risk, we've put together a
short video on how Executive Order 13603 will affect you and the only place left where the government can't get to your money.
Yours
truly,
Mitchell
Clark, B.Comm.

(c) be prepared, in the
event of a potential threat to the security of the United States, to take
actions necessary to ensure the availability of adequate resources and

acquisition of materials, services, components, and equipment to enhance
industrial base efficiency and responsiveness.
Sec. 104. Implementation.

with the National Economic Council, shall serve as the integrated policymaking
forum for consideration and formulation of national defense resource
preparedness policy and shall make recommendations to the President on the use

(b) The Secretary of
Homeland Security shall:

functions delegated under this order, and provide guidance to agencies assigned
functions under this order, developed in consultation with such agencies; and
(3) report to the
President periodically concerning all program activities conducted pursuant to
this order.
(c) The Defense
Production Act Committee, described in section 701 of this order, shall:

effects of national emergencies on actual production capability, taking into
account the entire production system, including shortages of resources, and
develop recommended preparedness measures to strengthen capabilities for
production increases in national emergencies; and

national defense program needs.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force
You're a 19 year old kid.
You're critically wounded and dying in
the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .
It's November 11, 1967.
LZ (landing zone) X-ray.
You're critically wounded and dying in
the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .
It's November 11, 1967.
LZ (landing zone) X-ray.
Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out.
Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again.
As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound
of a helicopter.
You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real
because no MedEvac markings are on it.
Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you.
He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you.
He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come. He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety.
And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!!
Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.
He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not
have made it without the Captain and his Huey.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United
States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise , Idaho
May God Bless and Rest His Soul.
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch about Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods
May God Bless and Rest His Soul.
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch about Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods
and the bickering of congress over Health Reform.
Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman
Now... YOU pass this along.
Honor this real hero.
Please.
