Iraq War Vet: "We Were Told to Just Shoot People, and the Officers Would Take Care of Us"

01:15 Posted by Vatic

*** Looks like they did not want this one or the 5 am one up as they put them in draft status just before their scheduled time.   So read both of these carefully.   I believe we hit on what their intent is in doing what they did at the one scheduled for 5 am.   This below is a prelude to the 5 am one because it shows the regret and shame our soldiers felt about what was happening in Iraq.... and that does not serve the vampire squid bankers and zionists since they need us hated like Germans were in WW II.  They can't get a good WW III without it.  They lied about Germany and Hitler as we proved on here just about a week ago and they are doing it to us as well.  I think our exposing it is what is making them mess with this.  We will see if it stays up at 1:15 for this one and 5 am for the next one.  STay tuned. 

Vatic Note:  If, after reading this and watching this video, we do not understand our obligation to these countries by stopping our government from doing this, then when its our turn we will pay for this WORSE than what they are suffering at our hands right now. War crimes need to be prosecuted even if through a citizens empaneled Grand Jury.  PLEASE, read this all the way through.  There are testimonials by soldiers as to what they had done and why and how high up the food chain the orders came from.  Iran is next if we do not finally put our foot down.  NO MORE.  We have to ACT like we mean it.

On Monday, April 5, Wikileaks.org posted video footage from Iraq, taken from a US military Apache helicopter in July 2007 as soldiers aboard it killed 12 people and wounded two children. The dead included two employees of the Reuters news agency: photographer Namir Noor-Eldeen and driver Saeed Chmagh.

The US military confirmed the authenticity of the video.

The footage clearly shows an unprovoked slaughter, and is shocking to watch whilst listening to the casual conversation of the soldiers in the background.

...........   VN:  Please watch this video and listen very carefully to what and who is committing all these crimes we hear about.  Its many soldiers like this one below who are disclosing the horrors that are going on.  This video was done well before Wikileaks ever showed up after supposedly collecting all this info but never releasing it until recently.  Very clever indeed, well our soldiers were disclosing the truth long before that and many soldiers are and have joined this resistance group because of what they have seen themselves.  We published way back in 2010 early in the year and have been yelling bloody murder about what our leaders are doing to these nations.  Now they have set their sights on Iran and now we must stop it all NOW.  Listen and hear it clearly the crimes we are committing and I have said before, if we do not stop our own country from doing all this then we are as guilty as those doing it.

The hearings provided a platform for veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan to share the reality of their occupation experiences with the media in the US.
Washburn testified on a panel that discussed the rules of engagement (ROE) in Iraq, and how lax they were, to the point of being virtually nonexistent.

"During the course of my three tours, the rules of engagement changed a lot," Washburn's testimony continued, "The higher the threat the more viciously we were permitted and expected to respond. Something else we were encouraged to do, almost with a wink and nudge, was to carry 'drop weapons', or by my third tour, 'drop shovels'. We would carry these weapons or shovels with us because if we accidentally shot a civilian, we could just toss the weapon on the body, and make them look like an insurgent."

Hart Viges, a member of the 82nd Airborne Division of the Army who served one year in Iraq, told of taking orders over the radio.

"One time they said to fire on all taxicabs because the enemy was using them for transportation.... One of the snipers replied back, 'Excuse me? Did I hear that right? Fire on all taxicabs?' The lieutenant colonel responded, 'You heard me, trooper, fire on all taxicabs.' After that, the town lit up, with all the units firing on cars. This was my first experience with war, and that kind of set the tone for the rest of the deployment."

Vincent Emanuele, a Marine rifleman who spent a year in the al-Qaim area of Iraq near the Syrian border, told of emptying magazines of bullets into the city without identifying targets, running over corpses with Humvees and stopping to take "trophy" photos of bodies.

"An act that took place quite often in Iraq was taking pot shots at cars that drove by," he said, "This was not an isolated incident, and it took place for most of our eight-month deployment."

Kelly Dougherty - then executive director of Iraq Veterans Against the War - blamed the behavior of soldiers in Iraq on policies of the (VN: The Zionist nazi occupied Military and....) US government.

"The abuses committed in the occupations, far from being the result of a 'few bad apples' misbehaving, are the result of our government's Middle East policy, which is crafted in the highest spheres of US power," she said.

Michael Leduc, a corporal in the Marines who was part of the US attack on Fallujah in November 2004, said orders he received from his battalion JAG officer before entering the city were as follows: "You see an individual with a white flag and he does anything but approach you slowly and obey commands, assume it's a trick and kill him."

Brian Casler, a corporal in the Marines, spoke of witnessing the prevalent dehumanizing outlook soldiers took toward Iraqis during the invasion of Iraq.

"... on these convoys, I saw Marines defecate into MRE bags or urinate in bottles and throw them at children on the side of the road," he stated.

Scott Ewing, who served in Iraq from 2005-2006, admitted on one panel that units intentionally gave candy to Iraqi children for reasons other than "winning hearts and minds.

"There was also another motive," Ewing said. "If the kids were around our vehicles, the bad guys wouldn't attack. We used the kids as human shields."

In response to the WikiLeaks video, the Pentagon, while not officially commenting on the video, announced that two Pentagon investigations cleared the air crew of any wrongdoing.

A statement from the two probes said the air crew had acted appropriately and followed the ROE.

Adam Kokesh served in Fallujah beginning in February 2004 for roughly one year.

Speaking on a panel at the aforementioned hearings about the ROE, he held up the ROE card soldiers are issued in Iraq and said, "This card says, 'Nothing on this card prevents you from using deadly force to defend yourself'."

Kokesh pointed out that "reasonable certainty" was the condition for using deadly force under the ROE, and this led to rampant civilian deaths. He discussed taking part in the April 2004 siege of Fallujah. During that attack, doctors at Fallujah General Hospital told Truthout there were 736 deaths, over 60 percent of which were civilians.

"We changed the ROE more often than we changed our underwear," Kokesh said, "At one point, we imposed a curfew on the city, and were told to fire at anything that moved in the dark."

Kokesh also testified that during two cease-fires in the midst of the siege, the military decided to let out as many women and children from the embattled city as possible, but this did not include most men.

"For males, they had to be under 14 years of age," he said, "So I had to go over there and turn men back, who had just been separated from their women and children. We thought we were being gracious."

Steve Casey served in Iraq for over a year starting in mid-2003.

"We were scheduled to go home in April 2004, but due to rising violence we stayed in with Operation Blackjack," Casey said, "I watched soldiers firing into the radiators and windows of oncoming vehicles. Those who didn't turn around were unfortunately neutralized one way or another - well over 20 times I personally witnessed this. There was a lot of collateral damage."

Jason Hurd served in central Baghdad from November 2004 until November 2005. He told of how, after his unit took "stray rounds" from a nearby firefight, a machine gunner responded by firing over 200 rounds into a nearby building.

"We fired indiscriminately at this building," he said. "Things like that happened every day in Iraq. We reacted out of fear for our lives, and we reacted with total destruction."

Hurd said the situation deteriorated rapidly while he was in Iraq. "Over time, as the absurdity of war set in, individuals from my unit indiscriminately opened fire at vehicles driving down the wrong side of the road. People in my unit would later brag about it. I remember thinking how appalled I was that we were laughing at this, but that was the reality."

Other soldiers Truthout has interviewed have often laughed when asked about their ROE in Iraq.

Garret Reppenhagen served in Iraq from February 2004-2005 in the city of Baquba, 40 kilometers (about 25 miles) northeast of Baghdad. He said his first experience in Iraq was being on a patrol that killed two Iraqi farmers as they worked in their field at night.

"I was told they were out in the fields farming because their pumps only operated with electricity, which meant they had to go out in the dark when there was electricity," he explained, "I asked the sergeant, if he knew this, why did he fire on the men. He told me because the men were out after curfew. I was never given another ROE during my time in Iraq."

Emmanuel added: "We took fire while trying to blow up a bridge. Many of the attackers were part of the general population. This led to our squad shooting at everything and anything in order to push through the town. I remember myself emptying magazines into the town, never identifying a target."

Emmanuel spoke of abusing prisoners he knew were innocent, adding, "We took it upon ourselves to harass them, and took them to the desert to throw them out of our Humvees, while kicking and punching them when we threw them out."

Jason Wayne Lemue is a Marine who served three tours in Iraq.

"My commander told me, 'Kill those who need to be killed, and save those who need to be saved'; that was our mission on our first tour," he said of his first deployment during the invasion.

"After that the ROE changed, and carrying a shovel, or standing on a rooftop talking on a cell phone, or being out after curfew [meant those people] were to be killed. I can't tell you how many people died because of this. By my third tour, we were told to just shoot people, and the officers would take care of us."

When this Truthout reporter was in Baghdad in November 2004, my Iraqi interpreter was in the Abu Hanifa mosque that was raided by US and Iraqi soldiers during Friday prayers.

"Everyone was there for Friday prayers, when five Humvees and several trucks carrying [US soldiers and] Iraqi National Guards entered," Abu Talat told Truthout on the phone from within the mosque while the raid was in progress. "Everyone starting yelling 'Allahu Akbar' (God is the greatest) because they were frightened. Then the soldiers started shooting the people praying!"

"They have just shot and killed at least four of the people praying," he said in a panicked voice, "At least 10 other people are wounded now. We are on our bellies and in a very bad situation."

Iraqi Red Crescent later confirmed to Truthout that at least four people were killed, and nine wounded. Truthout later witnessed pieces of brain splattered on one of the walls inside the mosque while large blood stains covered carpets at several places.

This type of indiscriminate killing has been typical from the initial invasion of Iraq.

Truthout spoke with Iraq war veteran and former National Guard and Army Reserve member Jason Moon, who was there for the invasion.

While on our initial convoy into Iraq in early June 2003, we were given a direct order that if any children or civilians got in front of the vehicles in our convoy, we were not to stop, we were not to slow down, we were to keep driving. In the event an insurgent attacked us from behind human shields, we were supposed to count. If there were thirty or less civilians we were allowed to fire into the area. If there were over thirty, we were supposed to take fire and send it up the chain of command. These were the rules of engagement. I don't know about you, but if you are getting shot at from a crowd of people, how fast are you going to count, and how accurately?"

Moon brought back a video that shows his sergeant declaring, "The difference between an insurgent and an Iraqi civilian is whether they are dead or alive."

Moon explains the thinking: "If you kill a civilian he becomes an insurgent because you retroactively make that person a threat."

According to the Pentagon probes of the killings shown in the WikiLeaks video, the air crew had "reason to believe" the people seen in the video were fighters before opening fire.

Article 48 of the Geneva Conventions speaks to the "basic rule" regarding the protection of civilians:

"In order to ensure respect for and protection of the civilian population and civilian objects, the Parties to the conflict shall at all times distinguish between the civilian population and combatants and between civilian objects and military objectives and accordingly shall direct their operations only against military objectives."

What is happening in Iraq seems to reflect what psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton calls "atrocity-producing situations." He used this term first in his book "The Nazi Doctors." In 2004, he wrote an article for The Nation, applying his insights to the Iraq War and occupation.

"Atrocity-producing situations," Lifton wrote, occur when a power structure sets up an environment where "ordinary people, men or women no better or worse than you or I, can regularly commit atrocities.... This kind of atrocity-producing situation ... surely occurs to some degrees in all wars, including World War II, our last 'good war.' But a counterinsurgency war in a hostile setting, especially when driven by profound ideological distortions, is particularly prone to sustained atrocity - all the more so when it becomes an occupation."

Cliff Hicks served in Iraq from October 2003 to August 2004.

There was a tall apartment complex, the only spot from where people could see over our perimeter," Hicks told Truthout, "There would be laundry hanging off the balconies, and people hanging out on the roof for fresh air. The place was full of kids and families. On rare occasions, a fighter would get atop the building and shoot at our passing vehicles. They never really hit anybody. We just knew to be careful when we were over by that part of the wall, and nobody did shit about it until one day a lieutenant colonel was driving down and they shot at his vehicle and he got scared. So he jumped through a bunch of hoops and cut through some red tape and got a C-130 to come out the next night and all but leveled the place. Earlier that evening when I was returning from a patrol the apartment had been packed full of people."

3 currencies to avoid like the plague

If you are having trouble viewing this email, or you'd like to share this article with your friends, click here

October 23, 2013 Santiago, Chile In the 13th century, Marco Polo wrote with utter astonishment at the paper currency standard he witnessed in China: "[a]ll these pieces of paper are, issued with as much solemnity and authority as if they were of pure gold or silver... and indeed everybody takes them readily. . ." In the Europe of Marco Polo's day, ducats and florins were considered money by anyone with half a brain. Yet today, this paper currency system has come to dominate our world. We've handed total control of the money supply to a tiny banking elite. These central bankers never once stand for election. And despite the tremendous power they wield, citizens still think that they live in a democratic republic. Very curious indeed. Yet while this entire concept of paper currency is deeply, deeply flawed... there are some currencies which are more flawed than others. When evaluating a paper currency, it's imperative to first look at the financial condition of its issuing authority-- in this case, the central bank. The US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank, for example, are in worse condition than Lehman Brothers when that bank went bust in 2008. This makes the dollar and euro quite risky to hold. But there are other currencies in even worse shape.  Let's examine a few of them: 1) Canadian dollar This one is a shocker for most people; Canada is often considered the darling of Western currencies because (so goes the conventional wisdom) the Canadian economy is strong and natural-resource based. But if you look at the health of the central bank, Canada wins the award for LEAST capitalized central bank in the west, posting razor thin equity of just 0.53% of total assets. Given that currency is nothing more than a liability of a central bank, the bank's poor financial condition weighs heavily on the currency's resilience. 2) Mexican peso Mexico's central bank is actually insolvent.  And this is another shocker for those keen to invest in one of Latin America's largest economies. In their most recent annual report, Mexico's central bank posted NEGATIVE equity of 73 billion pesos. In fairness, this is not an enormous sum of money; however, the amount is growing. And there's going to come a time when the government will be forced to bail out the central bank. Yet Mexico's government is already running a steep budget deficit. And the country's public debt has been growing rapidly. So the trend clearly shows further deterioration in the fundamentals. 3) Japan Talk about a train wreck. The Bank of Japan is already in a weak financial position, with net equity of just 1.9% of total assets. But Japan's government is forcing them into the most unprecedented monetary expansion in a central banking era where using the word 'unprecedented' has become commonplace. 46% of the Japanese government's budget is financed by debt. Most of this is mopped up by the central bank. Yet as the government's debt level already exceeds 200% of GDP, the gross interest payments alone eat up more than 50% of tax revenue. Japan has no hope of getting out of this alive. The only way out is default, or a currency crisis. Neither of these cases makes the Japanese yen an attractive option to hold. This list is not exhaustive-- the Brazilian real, British pound, etc. also exhibit the same fundamental weaknesses. As to the 'healthy currencies' out there? Norway's krone is by far the safest currency from a technical perspective; its central bank is the best capitalized on the planet (Premium members: please refer to your welcome kit for instructions on how to open a Norwegian bank account.)

'What the hell could possibly  go wrong with that?

COMMENTS BY ERASMUS OF AMERICA. - OCT. 23, 2013

     Donald Trump did a good job of showing that the slapstick comedy Keystone Cops of Wash., D.C. put together and put out this Obamacare which was a preprogrammed disaster in the making even before it was released as a claimed "law" even though it claims to give legal powers to the federal government not granted in the U.S. Constitution nor permitted in the U.S. Bill of Rights.

     One brief comment on why America went the wrong way after 1776. The U.S. Constitution says that Jesus Christ is the Lord of the U.S. Constitution, America and American people, but in small print put in by George Washington saying "in the year of our Lord" meaning Jesus Christ is legally declared the King of America. But this backdoor legal approach should have been backed up by no one may be an elected official of the U.S. Republic who does not swear allegiance to Jesus Christ as King of the U.S. Republic, King of this U.S. Constitution, and King of the United States of America. A ton of later problems of America would have been prevented if such a clause had been added to the U.S. Constitution. At the time of the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin in a pamphlet given out to the French people when he was the American Ambassador to royal France explained that 99% of all the American people were Christians then and that you had to search far and wide to find an infidel anywhere in America.

     Second point. The Founding Fathers of America intended to basically copy the legal organization of the ancient Roman Republic before it became an imperial monarchy, but missed one wise point of the original Roman Republic before it became very corrupted by the corrupt power elite of Roman society. The Roman Republic was forced to be basically an honest government for several hundred years due to the creation of the 10 civil tribunes of Rome which watched their government like legal watch dogs and had fierce legal powers to stop corruption and treason in government if anyone dared try it in the Roman Republic. Once the civil tribunes were neutralized and finally eliminated in the Roman Republic, then the Roman Republic became corrupt like Wash., D.C. is today as there were no longer effective legal watch dogs over government and forcing it to both obey the will of the people of the nation and respect their legal rights.

     My proposed Omni Law posted on my website is a basic copy of the ancient Roman concept of law called civil tribunes but a bit modernized and Americanized to fit a much larger American population than Rome had for its Roman citizen population. Pass my Omni Law and fast and America should have a bright future ahead of it. Don't pass it and America is probably doomed to perish like a snowball thrown into the fires of hell and rapidly melts away into nothing!

      America had an old legal concept when founded and long since forgotten in law by the Washington crowd. The people received the prior legal authority of the king and so all Americans were collectively kings and queens in legal authority and those in government were their servants and had to obey the royal authority of the kings and queens of America or else had no authority. Benjamin Franklin once joked about this saying that it would be a demotion to be elected a servant of the people rather than be one of the masters who were the people of America. Under George Washington's concept of government, the people had the royal authority of the prior king but we still had a king over all the kings and queens of America and his name was Jesus Christ. When offered to be made King of America, George Washington refused saying that we already had a King of America who was Jesus Christ. And he continued, but he would agree to become a president of America.

     And the cynical Patrick Henry commented before the Virginia legislators in general assembly that he would prefer a constitutional king over America over a constitutional president as it was easy to chop off the head of the king if he violated the constitution of the nation. As for a president who wanted to become a tyrant against the people, he would claim that the constitution granted this authority and the people would get confused and not chop off his head like they would a king who violated their constitution. Such was the argument of Patrick Henry who mistrusted the U.S. Constitution and warned that some day it would be used to crush the Southern States and wipe out the Southern way of life if the South ratified it. The authors of the U.S. Constitution sent oral word to the Southern States that this was a legal oral rider to the U.S. Constitution that the Southern States' rights and Southern way of life would never be crushed by the U.S. Republic created by the U.S. Constitution if they would ratify it. I got the original books written then shortly after 1776 and found this historical material not taught in the historical classes of today on American history. How cleverly true American history is censored in ours schools of today!

     Folks, the ancient Roman people were masters of the world for centuries because they culturally respected the practical far more than modern Americans do. They figured out the civil tribune angle to government and it was genius in comparison to the federal government created today with no effective legal oversight committee over it like the ancient Romans did with their elected civil tribunes.

      Pass the Omni Law and we release the genius still existing in the American people. And America will skyrocket as a nation back into a booming economy and Americans will have true freedom in America again instead of the fast growing federal tyranny Obama is trying to engineer in America. As the old saying goes, "There is method to his madness!" I don't want for America a Nero who fiddles while Rome (America in this case) burns down and he ignores it!

     Pass this report around. As the Bible says, "Listen to the truth and the truth shall make you free." It doen't say, "Listen to lies and you have solved your problems in life!"

     Our website is www.fastboomamericaneconomy.com . Our email is fastboomamericaneconomy.com@gmail.com . Our mailing address for those who prefer the mail over the website to place orders with us is NIFI, P.O. Box 1465, Seneca, SC 29679. Make any checks, etc. out to NIFI and tell us what the payment is for whether a product or loan money for such as the Omni Law Loan Program which has special features to it which will reward you later far better than stocks can! Read the offer on the website.

     Americans rose to greatness because they had a good, no nonsense educational system which has been thrown into the trashcan today, and they had serious freedom also thrown into the trashcan today. It is time we return to the values that made America and the American people great until the confused intellectuals called themselves politicians and lawyers and ruined the sound values that American was founded upon. 

     "Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it." - Old saying. I have found that good scholarship of history shows us the answers we need as a people and nation. I find smart answers and dumb answers in the legal concepts practiced before, same for smart and dumb economic answers found in old economic history, same for military, religion, same for how to use science and engineering, and other fields. I cherry-pick the good answers out of history and throw the trash answers into the trashcan where they belong. Like the ancient Romans, I always respect most what are the practical answers that work. I make history work to make me sounder in answers and not just practice studying history as an idle field of study. I was a history major at a large university and also apparently rated the top history student out of American high schools one year and so won a postgraduate college scholarship in political science while still in high school. I cracked the top economic secret how Nazi Germany financed such a fast rearming of Germany far faster than economists said they could and an exile German captain confirmed that I had cracked  their top economic secret. He had once heard from Hitler the great economic secret of Nazi Germany codenamed "The Inverted Inflation." I have better answers, but even "The Inverted Inflation" economic system first suggested by Bernard Baruch of America and borrowed by the Nazis could skyrocket the American economy within 12 months flat! Pass the Omni Law folks! I have the practical answers needed by America today!

     Pass this report around. Start thinking practical like the ancient Romans did which made them the most powerful and successful race on earth for centuries until they lost their greatness as a race and nation.

     Yours for God and Country, Erasmus of America (pen name for the American whose roots are heavily in the sound, brilliant answers which have worked before in history and can be used again in our time!)

U.S. Army threatens Christian soldiers with the brig - Forwarded By Erasmus of America 5:05 PM

U.S. Army threatens Christian soldiers with the brig
October 24, 2013

Dear American,
Soldiers attending a pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood say they were told that evangelical Christians and members of the Tea Party were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to those groups would be subjected to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
A soldier who attended the October 17 briefing told journalist Todd Starnes the counter-intelligence agent in charge of the meeting spent nearly a half hour discussing "how evangelical Christians and groups like the American Family Association were 'tearing the country apart.'"
The soldier said he fears reprisals and asked not to be identified. He said there was a blanket statement that donating to any groups that were considered a threat to the military and government was punishable under military regulations.
Another soldier who attended the briefing alerted the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. That individual's recollections of the briefing matched the others in attendance.
But this is not the first time an Army briefing has labeled evangelicals as extremists. Last April an Army Reserve briefing classified Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as "religious extremism."
Two weeks ago, several dozen active duty troops at Camp Shelby in Mississippi, were told the American Family Association, a well-respected Christian ministry, should be classified as a domestic hate group because it advocates for traditional family values.
Too many times, military leaders are calling these "isolated" incidents. To the contrary, AFA is seeing a pattern of anti-Christian threats by military trainers.
TAKE ACTION
We have prepared a letter for you to send directly to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, urging him to stop the Army's anti-Christian training rhetoric by loose cannon trainers.
Send Your Letter Now!
It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.

COMMENTS FROM ERASMUS OF AMERICA - OCT. 25, 2013

     Actions done by Obama such as in the military shows that he must be a Muslim, not Christian, in the White House as these policies that he is setting up are designed to end Christianity in America if we allow him to do this in America. Got a long report the other day from a longtime pastor showing how Wash., D.C. under Obama has made the Homeland Security Agency the head of the Christian churches now which of course means that Obama has positioned himself to be the head of the Christian churches in America now instead of Jesus Christ.

     Bishop Hippolytus around 200 A.D. explained in writing the prophecy of "he that hinders" in 2 Thess. 2:6-7 which keeps the would-be Antichrist from winning. This was the oral teaching the Apostle Paul gave to the churches about his 2 Thess. prophecy as it was considered "high treason" to the Roman Empire then if the Christians in writing predicted the later downfall of the Roman Empire then. One representing the prior Roman authority would arise in the Last Days and not allow the would-be Antichrist from successfully rising to power. Only when the "he who hinders" is done with what he is doing on behalf of the cause of God on earth, then the real Antichrist will be allowed to arise to power to tempt those on earth who did not turn to God in time while they still could.

     I am not the only one who descends from this background, but I do descend from the ancient line of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great according to several recorded ancient family lines. And according to the Apostle Paul I apparently am the only one who can stop the Antichrist from successfully arising to world power now and trying to crush the final Christians now on earth. I descend from the ancient Norman line of England which the House of Lords of the British Parliament centuries ago referred to as recorded comment then as "the ancient venerated line of Europe" meaning they were the blood descendants of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great who legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire and saved the Christians when the pagans had tricked the Christians into coming out openly and were then going to wipe out all the Christians in the Roman Empire. However, by the victory of Constantine the Great over the enemies of Christianity, Christianity was saved from potential annihilation in the Roman Empire then. When Constantine the Great died, historians then reported that no Roman Emperor had ever been so beloved by the citizens of the Roman Empire as him and was widely regarded then as the greatest Roman Emperor to arise in Roman history. I read the ancient accounts on this from both Christian and pagan histories for that time period. For the record, according to the ancient family will of 1299 A.D., I became the head of this ancient line when my two grandparents on my mother's side married and represented the two ancient family lines required to restore the Roman claims of the family line of Constantine the Great according to the family will of 1299 A.D. If the Apostle Paul gave Christianity a valid prophecy in 2 Thess., then God is on my side and I have authority from God to stop this would-be Antichrist Obama. And the Christian scholars carefully avoided the prophecies by Jesus Christ that He would raise up a chief steward for the Christians shortly before His return who would know how to handle their temporal needs as well as represent Christian values of Jesus Christ. When Jesus said that His chief steward would supply them their bread, that is symbolism for taking care of their temporal needs in the Last Days before Jesus returns.

    I once met an amazing man when I was young who predicted a list of things that happened later in my life. He said that God had arranged my inherited background for special reasons, but it was my free will whether to do what God wanted me to do or else let America fall and that was the end of America as a nation and race. He also asked me to ask my mother whether he told me correctly one part of my family background that my mother had never mentioned to me. This intrigued me and I asked her and then she told me the entire family story of our background I had never heard from her before as she said it did not matter in America what our background was. I saw him one more time and he asked me if I had asked her about this family background. I said that yes I had and he had been right as she confirmed. And she and I had the unique hereditary family birthmark recorded in European records for this family line. No other family apparently in Europe had this unique hereditary birthmark. As a historical scholar, this fascinated me that this man with the prophecies had known correctly what he was talking about. 

     Just for the military record. With the help of some American military on the side of the American people, I know how we can overnight build the Soviet-era Doomsday Bomb which technology for I got from The Moscow Institute For Nuclear Studies when I cracked their security years ago. We build one of these and if we find so much as one Chinese soldier trying to invade America, we can annihilate all of China with just one of these super bombs. We find so much as one Russian soldier trying to invade America, we can annihilate all of Russia with just one of these super bombs. So smart advice for China and any other nations trying to invade and take over America using Obama as their leverage, don't try it. My policy position is to annihilate any foreign nation sending over soldiers to try and back up Obama's planned military takeover of America. Russia, I know the key locations for your missiles. And if war breaks out, there is no guarantee that elements of our military will not join with me and help me to overnight build the Soviet-era Doomsday Bomb. I know that you can break through all American defenses with this ultimate weapon, but we can still hit back and Russia is annihilated as well as America! That means the price of real estate in America is made too high for Russia to pay in warfare if I show America how to fight! So peace is the wise course of action for both sides in this matter.     

     I do not wish to destroy Russia as I also descend from the Czarist line of Russia and think only bad government in Russia would push for war with America. But if I head the American military side, I am bound by honor to defend the American people totally and will do an incredibly better job of it than that colossal fool and idiot Obama in the White House.    

     Have the Christians figured it out yet what is meant in Revelation 18:4 : "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."? A hint to figure out what is going on in prophesy here. Wash., D.C. under President Wilson secretly set up the Communist Revolution in Russia in 1917. Wash., D.C. secretly read the communications between Wall Street bankers and Hitler in Germany and looked the other way when the Wall Street bankers financed Hitler into national power in Germany. This was not to give National Socialism victory in the world, but to engineer a planned World War II which would create tremendous profit and power for the Wall Street bankers. Even a Congressional Report on World War I commented that World War I had been secretly set up by financial interests for the sake of making profit off of the planned and engineered World War I to be launched by them. 

     Wash., D.C. is not the honorable government it pretends to be. I am willing to save the necks of the American people, but if this were just for Wash., D.C., I might be tempted to go another way. But I have a price tag for what I do. My Omni Law will be passed in America and my Camelot Project will be built in America. I will not support the continual corruption and treason Wash., D.C. is run upon today. I will not fight to continue the evil leadership that Wash., D.C. represents at this time. America will once more have to become "One Nation Under God!" I do not fight for Satanist run government nor leadership as Wash., D.C. secretly represents today. I do not fight for the corruption now running and dominating Wash., D.C. today. I do not fight for treason running the government instead of patriotism to the nation and its people.

     I think the American people should be given a second chance with God and not just face God some day with the background that they turned from good to great evil and never wanted to return from great evil to goodness as a nation and people again. 

     Because I am a Christian does not make me stupid in worldly affairs. The difference is I am governed by ethics and dedication to good whereas the evil love only themselves, intensely hate the ordinary people or would not want all this evil to happen to the people through government controlled by the evil rather than good leaders. I cannot understand why the evil so fiercely hate the American people, but they must hate them fiercely to want to do so much evil to the American people and the nation of America itself. And Obama intensely hates the American people but tries to keep control over them by exploiting their weaknesses through con games, lies, corruption, censored news, etc. 

     Early Christianity taught that understanding for many of the Bible prophecies for the Last Days would not be clearly understood until close to the Last Days. As St. Augustine and other stated, Christianity would be given "interpreting prophets" in the Last Days who would clearly understand the special Bible prophecies Christians of earlier ages could only little understand or dimly so. My mother's side of the family claimed the gift of prophecy for apparently many generations and there are old family stories about this. Maybe it takes a gift of prophecy to understand prophecy clearly when others cannot understand what is being said in the Bible. For example as predicted correctly in Revelation, Hitler warred against America for exactly 1,260 days as prophesied in Revelation. Date that from when the Japanese Imperial Fleet left port to begin its attack on Pearl Harbor until Nazi Germany surrendered to America was exactly 1,260 days. The price of alliance between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan was the Japanese had to attack Pearl Harbor as President F.D.R. told the American people in a "fireside chat" right after the Pearl Harbor attack. F.D.R. said American intelligence knew that, so the attack by Japan was also an attack on America by Nazi Germany at Pearl Harbor. There is your 1,260 days for Hitler and Nazi Germany warring against the "wilderness" (meaning America) for 1,260 days. And who took over the prior empire of Nazi Germany? America! And Wash., D.C. becomes the second beast drunk with the blood of the saints such as financing the Communist Revolution in Russia in 1917 and financing Hitler into power to start World War II.

      And how do you get out of the power of this beast government that Revelation says that God despises so totally because of the evils it has done on earth? Pass the Omni Law and join our proposed Camelot are good starters! As shown in my book "The Early Roots Of Apostolic Christianity" by Erasmus of America, I myself was surprised when I found the documentation in early Christian writings that Jesus Christ was actually born on December 25 and in the 28th year from the death of Cleopatra in 30 B.C. according to the early Christian writings. Back then Dec. 25 was Hanukkah as the Pharisees coordinated their Jewish lunar calendar then to work with the Roman solar calendar which they judged more accurate than the Jewish calendar. That is why the inn was full at Bethlehem and the shepherds were there to sell their lambs to religious pilgrims going to the Temple at Jerusalem maybe around 4 miles away from Bethlehem. I told you that I was a historian and liked to research the ancient original prime documents to historical events!

     If you want others to see this report, pass it along. If you don't like it, burn a copy of it in protest as you want the evil to win and you hate God and Christianity so want good to be smashed in America and throughout the world.

     Senator Barry Goldwater when alive shared an idea of his with me for a new version of nuclear warfare. He took a liking to me when I was in Wash., D.C. We use his idea and we can stop all Chinese tanks from trying to invade America as it is rumored they would want to do. Well, really, we could also stop all tanks run by Obama loyal crews from going anyway if we pulled this Major Gen. Barry Goldwater (USAFR) concept on them. Actually, it could make tank warfare maybe obsolete in the world as well. I had forgotten for years what Senator Barry Goldwater shared with me and suddenly it came back to memory. It is a clever military tactic that he came up with and never shared with Congress nor the Pentagon!

Harsh Language!!
 
October 28th, 2013
The two arrested were allegedly only carrying antique black powder revolvers. The crowd turns on the police in a non-violent, but verbal dress-down of epic proportions.
Under Texas law, a gun manufactured before 1899 is not even considered a “firearm,” therefore not subject to open carry laws:
(3) “Firearm” means any device designed, made, or adapted to expel a projectile through a barrel by using the energy generated by an explosion or burning substance or any device readily convertible to that use. Firearm does not include a firearm that may have, as an integral part, a folding knife blade or other characteristics of weapons made illegal by this chapter and that is:
(A) an antique or curio firearm manufactured before 1899; or
(B) a replica of an antique or curio firearm manufactured before 1899, but only if the replica does not use rim fire or center fire ammunition. (Source - from another illegal arrest)
Warning: VERY harsh language.

How Jon Stewart became President Obama’s biggest problem

·       By Chris Cillizza 

·       October 22 at 12:15 pm 

President Obama’s biggest problem when it comes to selling the American public on the so-far rocky rollout of his health-care law isn’t John Boehner or Mitch McConnell or even Ted Cruz. It’s Jon Stewart.

HANDOUT IMAGE: Jon Stewart. Indecision 2006 — “Battlefield Ohio: ‘The Daily Show’s’ Midwest Midterm Midtacular”
Stewart, the host of the wildly popular “Daily Show” on Comedy Central, has emerged as a harsh critic of HealthCare.gov and the Obama administration’s inability to fix it.
Stewart dedicated the entire first 10 minutes of his show — three full segments — on Monday to slashing hits on the Web site and the president’s handling of the problems.  He compared Obama to “Gil,” the hapless salesman from “The Simpsons,” showed “Daily Show” correspondent John Oliver stuck in a computer after trying to sign up for Obamacare and expressed amazement that even the calculator on the HealthCare.gov Web site doesn’t work. (And, remember, Stewart was heavily critical of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius during an appearance on his show earlier this month.)
Here’s a clip from Monday that captures Stewart’s critique (it may not be safe to play at work for some of you):
Who cares what a late night comedian/talk show host thinks? President Obama should if viewership details on Stewart’s show are right.
According to a 2012 Pew Research Center poll, “The Daily Show” has the second-largest share of young viewers — aged 18-29 — of any of the 24 media outlets tested. (The only one with a higher number of young viewers was the “Colbert Report.”)

President Obama and his administration have made it quite clear that one of the big beneficiaries of the law should be young people. “Already, millions of young adults have been able to stay on their parents’ plans until they turn 26,” Obama trumpeted in a speech defending the Affordable Care Act on Oct. 1. On Monday, in an address designed to calm worries about the problems with the HealthCare.gov Web site, Obama specifically referenced three young people standing behind him who had been able to stay on their parents’ insurance until they were 26 and added: “Millions of other young people are currently benefiting from that part of the law.”
But, these same young people tend to get much of their news — and therefore have their opinions shaped — not by places like The Washington Post or the CBS Evening News but rather by Stewart. He is their Tom Brokaw, their David Brinkley. So, what Stewart says matters — a lot.
How might Obama solve his “Stewart” problem? Maybe appear on the show — as he has done six times before, including twice as president. Stewart would, undoubtedly, challenge Obama on the problems with the site but would also give the president a platform by which he could address the growing public perception that the law (or at least the Web site) just isn’t working.

Shh I won't tell if you don't.. :-) David Gumpert Govt Slaves October 28th, 2013 This would seem to embody the USDA’s advisory, “Know your farmer, know your food,” right? Not exactly. For the USDA and its sister food regulator, the FDA, there’s a problem: many of the farmers are distributing the food via private contracts like herd shares and leasing arrangements, which fall outside the regulatory system of state and local retail licenses and inspections that govern public food sales. In response, federal and state regulators are seeking legal sanctions against farmers in Maine, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and California, among others. These sanctions include injunctions, fines, and even prison sentences. Food sold by unlicensed and uninspected farmers is potentially dangerous say the regulators, since it can carry pathogens like salmonella, campylobacter, and E.coli O157:H7, leading to mild or even serious illness. Most recently, Wisconsin’s attorney general appointed a special prosecutor to file criminal misdemeanor charges against an Amish farmer for alleged failure to have retail and dairy licenses, and the proceedings turned into a high-profile jury trial in late May that highlighted the depth of conflict: following five days of intense proceedings, the 12-person jury acquitted the farmer, Vernon Hershberger, on all the licensing charges, while convicting him of violating a 2010 holding order on his food, which he had publicly admitted. Why are hard-working normally law-abiding farmers aligning with urban and suburban consumers to flaunt well-established food safety regulations and statutes? Why are parents, who want only the best for their children, seeking out food that regulators say could be dangerous? And, why are regulators and prosecutors feeling so threatened by this trend? Members of these private food groups often buy from local farmers because they want food from animals that are treated humanely, allowed to roam on pasture, and not treated with antibiotics. “I really want food that is full of nutrients and the animals to be happy and content,” says Jenny DeLoney, a Madison, WI, mother of three young children who buys from Hershberger. To these individuals, many of whom are parents, safety means not only food free of pathogens, but food free of pesticides, antibiotic residues, and excessive processing. It means food created the old-fashioned way—from animals allowed to eat grass instead of feed made from genetically modified (GMO) grains—and sold the old-fashioned way, privately by the farmer to the consumer, who is free to visit the farm and see the animals. Many of these consumers have viewed the secretly-made videos of downer cows being prodded into slaughterhouses and chickens so crammed into coops they can barely breathe. These consumers are clearly interpreting “safety” differently than the regulators. Some of these consumers are going further than claiming contract rights—they are pushing their towns and cities to legitimize private farmer-consumer arrangements. In Maine, residents of ten coastal towns have approved so-called “food sovereignty” ordinances that legalize unregulated food sales; towns in other states, including Massachusetts and Vermont, and as far away as Santa Cruz, CA, have passed similar ordinances. The new legal offensive isn’t going over well with regulators anywhere. Aside from the Hershberger action in Wisconsin, and a similar one in Minnesota, Maine’s Department of Agriculture filed suit against a two-cow farmer, Dan Brown, in one of the food-sovereignty towns, Blue Hill, seeking fines and, in effect, to invalidate all the Maine ordinances. In April, a state court ruled against the farmer, and in effect against the towns; sentencing is due within several weeks, and the case could well be appealed. The jury in the criminal misdemeanor case of Minnesota farmer Alvin Schlangen last September acquitted him of all charges after several hours of deliberation. But the regulators’ push against privately-distributed food continues unabated. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has moved forward with a local prosecutor in Schlangen’s rural county, pressing similar criminal charges as the ones he was acquitted of in Minneapolis. He is scheduled to go on trial again in August. And in Wisconsin, prosecutors sought, unsuccessfully, to have Vernon Hershberger jailed for allegedly violating his jail terms since charges were filed in late 2011. At its heart, this is a struggle over a steady erosion of confidence in the integrity of our industrial food system, which has been hit by disturbing disclosures seemingly on a weekly basis. In just the last few weeks, for example, we have seen shrimp, cookies, and veggie burgers recalled by the FDA for being sold with undeclared ingredients. Also in recent weeks, members of Congress and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control have escalated warnings about the growing danger of antibiotic resistant pathogens emerging from farm animals, which consume about 80 percent of all antibiotics in the U.S. The Atlantic reported last summer that medical specialists are seeing a spike in women with urinary tract infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, likely transmitted by chicken meat. This erosion in the confidence of the food system carries serious implications. It financially threatens large corporations if long-established food brands come under prolonged and severe public questioning. It threatens economic performance if foods deemed “safe” become scarcer, and thus more expensive. And it is potentially explosive politically if too many people lose confidence in the professionalism of the food regulators who are supposed to be protecting us from tainted food, and encourages folks to exit the public food system for private solutions like the consumers in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maine, and elsewhere. Just look at the vituperative corporate response to recent consumer-led campaigns to label foods with genetically-modified ingredients. As more consumers become intent on making the final decisions on what foods they are going to feed themselves and their families, and regulators become just as intent on asserting what they see as their authority over inspecting and licensing all food, ugly scenarios of agitated citizens battling government authorities over access to food staples seem likely to proliferate. It’s an unfortunate recipe for a new kind of rights movement centered on the most basic acts—what we choose to eat. http://www.thedailysheeple.com/farmers-to-face-fines-or-prison-sentences-for-selling-food-directly-to-customers_102013
