Notes in Passing on Theory of Government

Posted on July 27, 2011 by ehurst

There is such a thing as good government. You aren’t likely to see it, but it won’t hurt to know something about it so you’ll know how to criticize what we do have.

1. Prophets have always condemned credit and interest because that’s God’s Law. God is better at human economics than we are. A credit-based economy, with a credit-based currency, is not better than the ancient system. Everybody wants to forget humans are fallen. When credit is strictly non-interest based, used only to help the poor get by as God says it should be used, things can’t get any better. Granted, a primitive economy suffers ups and downs based on the human tendency to miscalculate and mis-allocate resources in pursuing meeting human needs. It cannot be prevented. All attempts to dampen the natural ups and downs only make things worse. In a debt-based economy, you grant unlimited power to the creditors to manipulate the economic cycles to their benefit, and it will never match the needs of the broader population. Regulations will always be broken, because regulators are human. Nobody is that good; give someone power and it will always go wrong. You cannot craft a system which guarantees stability, because you cannot craft a system better at handling human failure than the one God described long, long ago.

2. No human on this earth can possibly be competent to manage an economic system bigger than a village of 75-100 people. Given the average quality of those likely to rise to such a position, a safe limit is 50 people. Putting the wisest people into groups and committees will actually reduce their capability for anything more than simple cooperation and coordination between their various individual responsibilities. Committees cannot decide anything really important; decision is always an individual exercise. Never trust anyone who likes committees, and especially trust no one who likes to govern.

3. Given Breivik himself bluntly stated the need to support Zionism, that question is settled. But another is emerging. I’m willing to bet at least some part of the Norwegian police were in on this from the start. Where did he get the official uniform? Their explanations of how it took so long to respond to the scene on the island don’t add up. This I say as a former cop. Cops are people, too. There have always been a significant portion of every police force up for sale. In this case, I’m willing to bet a significant hope from allowing Breivik to succeed was creating that missing element of fear. Norwegians are too peaceful and secure in their insular society to permit easy manipulation of their politics. Having dared to challenge the Zionist political orthodoxy, the first step in forcing them back onto the reservation is to make them fear and distrust. Granted, one should never trust anyone in a uniform, but this is a perversion of that virtue.

4. Did you notice the falseness of the Norwegian peace? It was based on centralized control. It worked because the economy was quite solid, and folks were comfortable. This left them extremely vulnerable to the lone gunman attack. With all the hassles and the false sense of safety, no one else was armed on that island. Indeed, no one even thought in terms of disabling the gunman, and there certainly was no one competent to consider it. A true pacifist is ready to fight for peace. Not in the sense of clobbering everyone until they are forced to be peaceful, but a real pacifist recognizes genuine threats to peace, and is ready to die for it. Had I been there, I probably would have gotten shot eventually, but not before I had done my best to either rush, or draw the gunman into a trap. I’m willing to bet he would not have imagined anyone daring to hit back with improvised weapons. Peace is not the absence of violence, but the determined opposition to it. The most peaceful society is the one that hates war because it understands it all too well. Good people don’t want control, but will exert it only so long as necessary to keep it from the hands of others.

5. Any plan of government which assumes human nature can be shaped and modified is doomed to failure. If you plan realistically for a normal background level of death and destruction instead of trying to create an artificial bubble of safety, you will approach the best things can be. Normal human activity is risky, variations are a necessity. Planning for maximum allowance in human variation is wisdom. Planning to stay out of the way as much as possible is moral goodness. Having something better to do, and always being frustrated because governing keeps you from it, makes you a morally fit ruler. Peace is not having everything under control, but is reducing chaos to a tolerable level of least harm. Wisdom is recognizing when you cannot and should not try to control.

Help Wanted: More Prophets

Posted on July 26, 2011 by ehurst

If it were up to me, I’d open a Prophets’ Academy.

Let’s get this out of the way first: I don’t care if what I post here every day is absolutely bonkers. This is the best I know and my spirit as at peace with Almighty God. That’s more important to me than any measure of success on a human level. Nothing I say is intended to represent coercion in any way. The objective is simply to get you asking God on a level of sincerity and honesty He’ll honor. There is nothing which presupposes you’ll come up with the same answers. If you start writing stuff which is too different from what I promote, all that means is I don’t have to work with you, and you don’t have to work with me. You certainly don’t have to take me seriously.

I don’t like working alone. It gets old. I deeply miss those days in my youth when other kids were willing to adopt enough of a like mind we could have fun together and be best pals. It brings a sense of peace and rest against a crazy world. Who’s to say it wasn’t insular and unrealistic; that wasn’t the point. Reality itself is pretty shaky and hard to pin down, so anything which brings a certain sanity and peace by at least finding you aren’t totally alone is a good thing in itself.

Externally I was pretty darn conventional most of the time. Internally, I always knew something wasn’t right, that some inner voice called me to another world. All the orthodox and not-so-orthodox teaching about reality coming at me always failed in some aspects. It’s not that I thought I was smarter than the rest of the field, but simply that I was wrong for going along with everything or anything offered. So I held in myself some eternal tension between what I could find to use and the sure knowledge something better had to be out there somewhere.

Even my sense of search was twisted and perverted by the mental framework provided by my world. Once I understood that, there was no turning back. It’s not a question of finding all the right answers, but of asking the right questions. My sense of assurance and peace with whatever passes for reality has never been so solid.

If I did have a Prophets’ Academy, this is what I would teach. I’d offer the path I took, but offer it as an example of how not to be forced onto the wrong path. I don’t want you to echo what I say, parrot what I write. I want you to address your world from the same sense of assurance and mission. I would love to see more people hammering at the false reality thrown up around us today. The mission is not to knock it all down, but only to hammer at it. People who learn about the hammer will then knock down their own walls of falsehood. It’s about the hammer, the individual path of peace and sanity available only by getting rid of the lies.

Naturally I’m going to have the strongest affinity for those whose words present a general train of thought which sounds familiar to me. That’s what we need from each other, a sense of safe familiarity. If I understand it, I know how and how much I can trust it. It becomes a point of reference, right or wrong, which saves me time. I don’t have to all the way back to zero and recalibrate when things get a little shaky. The more we agree on after having done that enough times, the less time is wasted getting on with the mission. Right now, it’s pretty lonely.

If you have the burning itch, the sense things aren’t quite right, and you need another system to get you through this mad universe, feel free to steal my stuff and learn what I have to teach. The only thing I hope to gain is to shed this sense of loneliness. You can keep your money, your personal habits, your sense of who you are, whatever it is you bring with you. All I ask is you make room for one more friend. But the friendship is all about the purpose, the shared calling and task. Don’t get involved if you can still walk away from it. You have to be a helpless captive to something you can’t ignore.

This is just one store front in the massive cosmic franchise, and the possibilities are endless. Help wanted: more prophets.

(This also serves as notice I’m writing a training manual for prophets.)

Oklahoma Metro Police Will Be Overwhelmed Soon

Posted on July 26, 2011 by ehurst

I am utterly certain Oklahomans will reject my previous message. If they react at all, it would be with contempt, particularly the part about this being a word from God. But He has more to say.

Had you bothered to read, you would have found numerous studies and warnings showing how the entire US stood on the verge of a total breakdown in social order. It never would have taken much, but we had it too easy. Had you asked at any time leading up to today, you would have been told by any number of experts it was coming. Had you bothered to ask God, He would have told you the same thing. Crime is already soaring, and we haven’t seen anything yet.

Welcome to the new normal. All your nightmares about life becoming very dangerous, where the predators are too numerous to deter, and their schemes and techniques will be too often successful, is upon us. You can’t put this back in the box; it can’t be turned back. It’s coming. God says so Himself.

While the blame for this lies squarely on the shoulders of civic leaders and law enforcement theorists who have created the mess we now see, that’s no longer the point. What matters is predicting what’s about to come. This is a warning from God Almighty.

Because modern civilian police philosophy excludes involving the citizens in crime prevention in any meaningful way, there is nothing which inhibits crime except a tiny number of authorized people. The methods and philosophical assumptions of the police, that they are the only ones permitted to act during emergency situations, will insure things will be far worse than they have to be. We see this all too clearly now.

The incidents will become more numerous, the perpetrators more bold, and everything you take for granted goes out the window. Whatever social restraints once existed are gone. The few things which could have held back the flood were trashed long ago as primitive, quaint and old fashioned. As police and civic leaders struggle to keep the lid on this, they will fail. They will learn nothing. They will then propose and execute ever more draconian measures. These measures will also fail. They will fail to reduce crime, instead creating a situation where simply being a human, who does the normal stuff humans are supposed to do, will result in harassment, arrest, loss of large amounts of property, and torture and death — at the hands of the police. Innocent people should dread the police.

Already it is increasingly difficult to differentiate between cops and any other organized thuggery. Except you are already paying fat salaries to the ones with badges, and the full weight of government authority backs them when they commit their crimes. This only feeds the general misery, accelerates it dramatically. This is why I have warned readers for the past few years: Never call the police, or any other emergency personnel, if you can avoid it. You cannot trust them. Indeed, they are now a greater threat to you than just about any other humans you encounter at random. It has become their official duty to treat you like a crook regardless of lacking any sliver of accuracy to their assertions. The police are the enemy of everyone who isn’t police.

The number of “good cops,” reasonable people who don’t like the depredations of their fellow officers, and who are willing to give an honest report later, are so rare as to be statistically non-existent. And a fellow officer actually trying to restrain another is simply unimaginable these days.

They don’t work for you any more, citizen. They are quickly making themselves the enemy. That business with false arrests of juveniles in Bricktown is just the tip of the iceberg. Very soon this will be almost uniform throughout the entire nation. It’s already a serious problem in quite a few major cities. These are not aberrations; these are the new normal. This is a very painful and nerve-wracking “damned if you do; damned if you don’t” situation.

The warning I give particularly to Oklahoma City and surrounding Metro areas is we are just starting down this path. Pray for mercy.

God’s Word on Police and Law Enforcement

Posted on July 25, 2011 by ehurst

Having so long criticized policemen in the US, I was moved to pray for a vision of how we might move things back toward sanity. What follows is some of that vision. My authority from God is limited to simply declaring His truth. Once you read this, my mission is done. You are then accountable to God alone.

During the period of time I served in the US Army Military Police, a person whom I still believe was speaking for God prophesied that my time in uniform was not the start of a career enforcing the laws of men, but was the birthplace of my calling to know and proclaim God’s Laws. I had to understand what was wrong, had to know it intimately and first hand, and take it before the Lord. In the past few years, much in my life has changed. I now sit before this computer keyboard with an overwhelming sense God has called me to prophesy of His Laws. This is far different from what I imagined it would be, but also far better than I had dared to hope.

No one, least of all yours truly, pretends this is even likely to catch significant notice, much less foment change. Somewhere between His perfect Law and where we are today is a place which could bring us closer to Heaven, and a bit farther from Hell. What I offer is most certainly within reach of the American people as they are and as they live today. It is realistic. It will also be a wrenching change in many ways. The biggest changes are not in policy and practice, but the underlying assumptions. We have it all wrong, and God is very angry. What I write here serves to reveal some of why His wrath is already falling upon us now.

While I wore the MP brassard, I was told to have the confidence of an angel of light, to betray no doubt about what I was doing while in uniform. This, despite knowing full well none was so perfect as to be always correct. We were trained to take our doubts in private to our superiors and hone our professionalism to the highest standards, always prepared to make adjustments as we learned. Wearing that emblem of authority was a high honor easily lost. Today I wear no marks of man’s authority. I’m just the messenger, a living lawbook of God.

This brings us to the first point: In God’s eyes, people with badges and uniforms are not “law enforcement.” They are policemen; they police. They come along after a mess has been made and clean it up. The citizens are the law enforcement. It rests upon them to make things turn out right. It is to our benefit and it is our problem. We are our brother’s keeper. Passing the buck is a sin; it is poking a finger in God’s eye and petulantly demanding He fix things after all we’ve done to destroy it. Enforcing the law begins with each of us doing the best we know, and then doing everything we can and should do to keep others from destroying the responsibility which falls to us.

The only reason we even have policemen as they now exist is because society as a whole has refused its duty. America began without policemen, and the Constitution presumes we are the enforcement. But God Himself has not permitted us to hire thugs to enforce our personal vision of heavenly comfort on the rest of the world. Yet, that is precisely what modern civilian police forces are. One portion of society demands everyone else conform, and they have the political power to make it happen. They don’t have to get their hands dirty, and are insulated from the blowback of their evil demands. Virtually 90% of law enforcement activity today arises from a very narrow concept of what constitutes proper behavior. This is a hideous tyranny.

Want people to behave differently? You offend God Himself when you hire armed thugs to do your dirty work. Get involved yourself in good responsible efforts to change society, or shut up and stay out of the way. Those who aren’t willing to accept the risk their vision could be rejected are children of Satan. Good people do not want to rule over others, directly or indirectly. Might does not make right. Thus saith the Lord.

Defending against warfare and genuine threat to civil order is the proper role of civil government. It has no business poking around in social matters. The business of social welfare was granted by God to social authorities only. Social authority is not about waving weapons at people, but persuading and building relations. People aren’t free if they don’t have the freedom to dissent, to be different while harmless. You are granted persuasive authority as soon as people realize you are willing to sacrifice for their welfare. God Himself will support that. Otherwise, you have no business getting involved. If you don’t bleed, you don’t lead. God knows if you fake it.

Of course, law enforcement begins at home. The only people over whom you have any legitimate authority are the people in your family who recognize you as head of household. Here again is that business of God’s requirement we live in the extended family setting if at all possible. Given that won’t happen much in America today, let’s settle for you policing your own household first. Start caring and start paying the price. Learn what it takes and create an atmosphere where the folks closest to you are eager to work with you for a peaceful and harmonious lifestyle. We don’t have room here to discuss all that means, but God demands it. You must obey and commit yourself to it or face His wrath. It can be done and you must begin today if you haven’t already.

With your immediate neighbors, someone has to take the initiative to negotiate the conflicting wishes and desires. If you think about this for just a few moments, you will come to the realization it would require a vast change in how we build our homes and plan our neighborhoods. Again, we don’t have room to address that here, but note in passing we may work on that someday. For now, we work with what we have. You are not permitted to dominate by forcing your comfort at your neighbor’s expense. There is no one correct and civilized standard for landscaping and decoration. That sort of arrogance comes from Satan. Yes, cutting your grass is a valid demand from your neighbors, because there are known health hazards for failure, hazards which most certainly do affect your neighbors. You cannot, by sloth or by excessive zeal, externalize the costs of your comfort onto others. There is room for give and take and negotiation.

Eventually you can bring together other neighbors if one household refuses to negotiate. You must make that effort yourself, genuine and repeated, before you take it to someone else. Overly loud music which shakes your windows is an example of wrong. An occasional bit of noise in the front yard from an exuberant party is not. God hates the so-called public drunk laws, as well as most drug laws. Someone making a fool of himself in public is not your problem unless he starts urinating on your flowers. He should get in trouble for harming the flowers and making a stink, not for being drunk. On the other hand, it’s not a crime to punch out a drunk crunching in your flowerbed if that’s what it takes to get him out of it. Put up a good fence, make sure it’s just inside your actual property line, and be done with it.

Given a little time, it won’t take much to understand the difference between real harm and prissy-whiny nonsense. The Nanny State is an abomination to God. Humans are pretty messy, and even worse when you get them close together in large numbers. There are distinct advantages to a high population density, and hassles to match. Take your pick, but the vast majority of what we see today is unreasonable demands for one particular narrow concept of what is acceptable.

You cannot and should not try to control people’s behavior at large by force, much less what they think or say. It’s a sin to even want such power. Rather, you should do the work to restore a sane civil society. No, it’s not a concrete goal you can attain and get on with your business. It’s an aspiration, a never ending commitment which makes life worth living. Just because certain real harms are associated with behavior which is not itself any real harm to you is no justification for seeking to squelch the latter. Your rights end in a much smaller circle than is commonly imagined. A very large area of “crime prevention” is an insult to God’s justice. For the most part, you do not prevent crime. You cannot hinder human behavior which is not immediately harmful, and you aren’t permitted to call something merely repellent “harmful.” You can make crime costly, but aside from taking the responsibility for being on guard against it, you cannot stop others from sinning, and most certainly you can’t keep them from wanting to sin.

God’s justice says we err too much on the side of restriction. Most civil laws on the books today make God angry at us. We have to learn this world is fallen, badly broken, and bad human behavior is the norm. All the more so with Western Civilization being such an insult to God. We cannot even get close to what God says is possible, so for as long as we are Western, life should suck.

To reduce crime, you don’t hire more armed thugs with badges, and you surely don’t give them some uniquely privileged status to torture or kill on a whim. To reduce crime, you make good weapons widely available, utterly legal and require training in their proper use as part of learning to read and write. In a world where “open carry” is common, you’ll have fewer people wrongly killed than in the current system where personal weapons are restricted. This has been proven, but no one who handles the statistics is willing to be honest about that. The only people unarmed should be those who have refused to accept the training after abusing a weapon, and those who simply don’t want to carry one for whatever personal reasons. In this crazy world, no one has the inherent right to disarm anyone, except in the most extreme cases.

That silly video where a loud bang results in every customer taking a defensive stance, pointing a gun and scanning visually for threats should not be a joke, but the norm.

The only reason to have policemen is to investigate and report after a crime — a real crime — is committed. They would be armed for the same reason everyone else is, but not necessarily with bigger and better weapons. They don’t have more authority! They can get involved same as you when they see crime happening and try to stop it. They should never be permitted to stop anyone from using their own lawful weapons for lawful purposes. This business of them having a unique right to control every situation on behalf of the State just because they show up is simply evil. They have zero mandate from God to keep the peace beyond what any other citizen has.

Thus saith the Lord.

More on the Norway Terror and Jumping to Conclusions

Posted on July 24, 2011 by ehurst

Nothing is ever as simple as we would like it to be.

As I write this, I am aware that Breivik’s manifesto has been made available. It’s longer by far than that of the Unabomber, and I won’t pretend to read it. I’m sure it will be mined for weeks by real experts who know more than I about the context from which it arises, along with a hoard of others who probably know less than I do about things in general. Most of what you can read about this is already not worth your time. Maybe this post isn’t worth your time, either.

I’ve already signaled in yesterday’s post I have no dog in this fight. That’s the point here: Things are so very complicated this event does not lend itself honestly to any single agenda. It will be used by many different agendas, and I am inclined to think even Breivik’s own stated agenda cannot account for what happened. Do you honestly expect people are mostly logical about things? For example, I noticed someone fussing about how Breivik’s writings before his 1500 page rant didn’t seem to match the stated motives. If he’s a genuine nationalist, why didn’t he write it in Norwegian instead of English? Of course, the answer is he wanted to reach all of Europe, and English is the most common second language in the whole world, particularly online. So maybe he wasn’t a real nationalist in the strictest sense of the word, since he went on and on about “Eurabia,” as if he wanted to defend Europe as a whole. That is not a purely nationalist concept, but humans are like that, so don’t expect any of this to follow pure logic.

I’ll be the first to admit it does not require a Zionist to hate Muslims. Ask Charles Martel; as I understand it he hated both Jews and Muslims, though it was the latter he defeated back when Islam was young. In those days, the Muslim version of evangelism was conquest. Sometimes it was brutal and sometimes it wasn’t that bad, say those who lived through it and wrote about it. If you dig through the unnoticed details of more modern times, you’ll find something everyone wants to ignore: Muslims themselves have gotten over that urge.

When we examine the life and influences of every Muslim who became a leading figure in reviving the old Islamic conquest, all those jihadists, we find they were shaped in part by what appears to be a concerted plan by Zionists to provoke them. That is, the leaders of Zionism have been working hard to create a big bad Muslim extremist trend. If anything, it appears they are rather frustrated by how uncooperative Muslims have been with this plan. So you should hardly be surprised when someone suggests most of the rockets fired from Gaza into Israel are non-threatening, and the Gazans are trying to stop even those. Every major terrorist act against modern Israel was committed by agents who were funded and led by Mossad. If you really want to know, you can find the resources which explain all this. Does Islam not lend itself well to such things? Of course it does; were it not so, Zionists would have chosen some other bogeyman. The real Nazis are gone.

If modern Israel were a truly Covenant nation, I’d be first in line to say we should support them. The closest you can come to Moses in Israeli politics is a bunch of Orthodox Talmudists. While they are very influential in the government, they are not even remotely Mosaic. That’s another open secret. Modern Judaism is vastly different from Hebrew religion in the Old Testament. Never mind the propaganda claims about being the gatekeepers of Moses, these folks were deeply Hellenized before Christ was born, and for the record, Hellenism is hostile to ancient Hebrew intellectual culture. If modern Israel had even a tiny thread of truly biblical religion in their politics, I’d say we weren’t doing enough to support them. But they have no such thing, and what they do have is such a hideous racist pit of hatred for all the world, God Himself is embarrassed. This is not the nation God created and commanded to reveal His Laws to all the world.

I’ve already outlined in yesterday’s post how we Americans got involved in serving Israel. The strongest single voting block remains rabidly pro-Israel without reservations. That our Dispensational heresy has infected all of Europe (the whole world, in fact) is no surprise. I was there and saw it first hand a decade ago. At that point, I was one of them. Anything which made Israel more comfortable was too little, and I cheered on the attack of Iraq. I understand that mindset intimately. You could not convince me it had no affect on Breivik. But it’s not required for him to act as he did. As noted previously, anyone can hate any other identifiable group. That’s human nature. Anyone is capable of deciding lives have to be taken to preserve something even more precious. You can be sure any number of things will be demonized by the official mouthpieces from this act: anything right-wing, anything to do with privately owned firearms, anything which resists shipping in the maximum number of Muslim refugees, etc. You can predict it before you hear it. But no one can deny the biggest beneficiary in the long run will be the Zionist agenda. If this wasn’t their idea already, they’ll find a way to make it serve their interests, and it will become the dominant theme by which we remember it.

Once more, here at the end I’ll offer my opinionated rant as a self-proclaimed modern prophet of God. You don’t have to accept a thing I say, because I’m neither motivated nor deterred by any human response to what I proclaim. It’s something burning deep within my soul: Modern Israel has no valid association with biblical Israel. What we have today has stolen the legacy and name, and defiled the sacred memory of God’s revelation. But we must not take any action to attack them, nor any other nation on this earth. Each will stand or fall at God’s behest. What I can proclaim is God’s Laws, when properly understood, will point out this foul lie called Israel which today is the single greatest threat to human life on Planet Earth. So great is this threat, it is generally safe to associate most heinous actions, such as Friday’s bombing and shooting, to the Zionist agenda. No, not every crime of humanity, but anything which carries a distinct political meaning will almost surely carry the stink of Mossad’s filthy hand prints.

Why would Israel benefit from increase Muslim migration into Europe? If you live with an activist Muslim community, you’ll understand. You won’t like it. These people make no sense unless you have studied them. Pretty soon, you’ll hate them almost as much as Israel does. That Israel leads the world in hating Muslims is undisputed.

Further, while I openly proclaim Islam one of the damnedest lies in history, I also openly warn you God will favor them on a purely human level, because of all the identifiable groups in the world today of any size, they come closest to His Laws. Islam is not actually a religion, per se, but a lifestyle regimen with religious overtones. The one best way to defeat the lie of Islam is to do better at obeying God’s Laws. You can reach towards that individually, and with your whole household. But until the land in which you live is populated with folks who are of the same mind, you can bet nature itself will eventually work to destroy whatever you try to build. God is not impressed with Norway, nor America, and is saving modern Israel for an especially spectacular destruction.

Yeah, I’m using this thing to promote my personal agenda, too. Nothing is so simple as we like.

Norway Terror: Let’s Not Jump to Conclusions or Lies

Posted on July 23, 2011 by ehurst

The single biggest lie was the one first told by the establishment, suggesting the bombing and shooting in Norway was connected to Islamic Jihad terrorism.

Quite the opposite, it seems. If anything, the ultimate source may be pinned on Israel. But let’s examine what we can know so far. For now, a very good write-up is available at the Daily Mail (UK) with lots of good pictures. (Be advised, you’ll also have lots of naughty pictures down the right hand side of that page.) The analysis is lots of fact larded with a bit of anti-Muslim propaganda, which is rather insane, given the alleged perpetrator’s background. His name is Anders Behring Breivik, a native Norwegian.

He is known to be nationalist, anti-immigration, anti-Muslim, a Freemason (note the photo with ceremonial regalia), and a Right-wing Christian Zionist. What part of this justifies any mention of Jihadist terror? But of course, it’s obligatory these days, you know.

The shooting attack on the camp also has lots of background. This island camp, and the meeting, is owned by what amounts to the communist-socialist youth party of Norway, officially the Labor Party. The group is tied to the man whose government office was blown up in Oslo, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. There are any number of things the assailant may have found objectionable with these folks.

Timing may be a critical issue, but only if we can find reason to believe the perpetrator was aware of certain events at the camp. Norway recently made lots of noise which alarms Zionists. They have divested from anything supporting Israel. The government has signaled readiness to support Palestine’s bid for claiming statehood in the UN. The youth organization at the camp had already demanded Stoltenberg do so. Israel and her friends have been squawking about such things very loudly for quite some time. On the other hand, it appears Breivik was planning this for quite some time; he bought several tons of fertilizer — the kind suitable for making explosives — some weeks ago.

Cui bono? Having groused for some time on various Internet forums, Breivik was opposed to Muslim immigration. If you really understand the dynamics of human nature and social order, you realize such opposition is probably a good idea. Scripture indicates humans are best living in unmixed communities, though at peace with strangers. All the modern political theories say otherwise, but I don’t think God is impressed. At the same time, if any society chooses to commit suicide by open immigration policies, that’s their business. We should expect people of good conscience will dispute the wisdom of such things, just as we would expect politically correct oppression to minimize dissent. I doubt Breivik and his fellow travelers used the same approach I would, never mind the type of actions taken to make whatever point he wanted to make.

I have no particular beef with Norwegians in general. I’m not impressed with their secularist hedonism, and their moralistic scolding of other nations from their immoral position, but this is what we have come to expect. For the most part, I stand on the sidelines, watching the world destroy itself in one debacle after another, forever refusing to understand reality as God sees it. I’ll comment because His Spirit and justice burns like fire within me, and this is my calling, but God forbids me getting directly involved without a specific personal invitation.

What I do pointedly condemn above all else here is the near certainty this points back to Zionism. We have no evidence Mossad was involved directly. We may never see such evidence, even if Mossad was. They don’t get caught very often. When they do, it serves as the tip of the iceberg, one loaded with rocks so less than 1% shows above the surface of the murky waters of reality. Until we have direct comment from Breivik himself, we won’t know much more than we can guess. Even if he does speak, and it is accurately reported, we still may not know. His actions are hardly of necessity insane, just cruel and hateful. The state of fallen human nature includes a powerful dose of that, meaning we are all at least capable of similar acts. All it takes is an atmosphere which promotes it, makes it an imperative.

If we are going to speculate, let’s at least base it in the facts. Given the way Zionism works, it is not unfair to connect it to things like this. Look into the suppressed history of Zionism and you’ll note, for example, Samuel Untermeyer’s careful financial sponsorship of C.I. Scofield’s Dispensationalist Bible margin notes was aimed at creating a strong Zionist camp in US Protestant churches. Prior to Scofield, almost no churches and theology schools taught such this heresy. His Bible was a resounding success. So much so the publisher has since added a very large amount of additional notes to Scofield’s work. The Scofield Bible and its popularity among evangelical churches is the single greatest factor in creating the vast Dispensationalist theology we see in the West today. From what I’ve seen so far, it was this theology which helped form the character of Breivik. Such theology certainly correlates tightly with the pro-war, pro-torture, blank-check-for-Israel and mindless hatred against Islam in the America today. Within a single generation American evangelical churches went from near-pacifist anti-government otherworldliness to materialistic Right-wing war-monger, and today they simply assume it’s always been the dominant theology. To suggest this is not a major element in what keeps us involved in illegitimate wars, and keeps us heedlessly blowing through trillions of borrowed dollars is sheer intellectual dishonesty.

All the way back at least as far as the Roman Empire, we have written records of men who understood how to sway whole societies into a maniacal zeal for all sorts of causes. Can you think of any more recent examples, where some nation was taken over slowly and craftily by such destructive zeal for some obscene cause? I’ll bet you can. To deny such an atmosphere does not also contribute to criminal acts which serve to benefit Zionism is simply dishonest. We don’t have all the facts, so we don’t know yet; that’s true. I assert it is a reasonable connection. I’m willing to bet it turns out to be the case this time, provided we can get an honest report of what Breivik says is behind his actions.

Prophetic Message: Let Israel stand or fall on her own. Neither support nor directly oppose, except the actions of Mossad as inherently illegitimate. This goes for all spying agencies of every nation when their duties involve anything beyond mere observation and passive data collection. Spying in itself is not a sin; getting involved in any other nation’s politics is always a sin. On the other hand, failure to condemn any nation’s politics from a biblical perspective is also a sin. Such condemnation must always come from independent prophetic ministries.

Word of the Lord Against OKC-PD and Municipal Government

Posted on July 22, 2011 by ehurst

Background: Here is a list of articles ranging between fawning police butt-kissers and raging anti-establishment conspiracy nuts —

Crime, Minors Breaking Curfew On Rise In Bricktown
Okla. City Cops Catch Flak for Mistaken Teen Curfew Arrests”
Police State Insanity: Teens Arrested While Waiting for Parents in OKC Curfew Sweep

For the record: I’ve been a cop, a DARE Officer, a parent, and I am now a prophet of Jehovah God Almighty. I mention that last one for two reasons. First, because I want the OKCPD and City to have all the official excuse they need to ignore my comments. I’ll give them enough rope to hang themselves, as it were. Second, it’s the only real reason I have for the comments which follow. This is a warning from God.

You are probably aware of the national attention to a curfew flap. Now, for the real story: Oklahoma City has by far one of the most unaccountable governments in the whole of the USA. Since anyone living can remember, the real government (never mind who holds what position or office) has always been a tiny elite minority of wealthy and powerful psychopaths. If you aren’t one of them, you won’t be permitted to get involved. While not every servant of this elite ghost government is a psychopath, they all know not to bite the hand the feeds them. That includes the municipal judges, since they aren’t even in the running for either appointment or election without first kissing some serious booty. This is the way of things in Oklahoma, folks.

So it should surprise no one that the Police Department have made themselves into an army of foreign occupation. You can surmise a lot about the chief from how his troops act. Chief Bill Citty is the commandant who has never forgotten he rules on behalf of this tiny elite group. That atmosphere filters down through the entire department. Further, they have been careful to pickle all their brains in a “standard of justice” which makes God and all His angels vomit in horror. When Chief Citty allows “mistakes were made,” that’s about as close to accountability as it gets, citizen.

Let’s get one thing clear: Those police officers broke the law. They broke it flagrantly, knowingly, and with an attitude to match. They caused great cost and distress to a large number of innocent teens and parents. I pray God Almighty move the victims to sue hard, fast and continuously, because a fat settlement is as close to justice as they will ever get. I will not attempt to convey the degree of contempt Citty has for innocent people, in part because he apparently doesn’t believe they exist. Everyone is a crook just waiting to be caught, in his book. You’d get more sympathy from the bottom of a water treatment plant.

I know this from personal experience dealing with OKCPD. If you bust your tail to help them solve crime, you’ll be lucky if they remember your name. I’ve done that. If you just once stumble onto a situation where they want to flex their muscles and preen before the next donut assault, you’ll suffer the most incredible indignity you can imagine. These are the kind of folks who made my life miserable as a Desk Officer, because it was tons of paperwork writing them up and taking away their badges. So far as I have encountered, less than 1% qualify to work on my shift. How many ways can you say “insufferable jerk” before you run out words?

So when they come in for some public heat for something so incredibly stupid, you can bet they aren’t getting so much as a slender fraction of what they deserve. Folks, this is just the tip of the iceberg here in OKC.

I want to know one thing, Chief Citty: Who gets the kickback from dragging all those hapless innocent teens down to the private juvenile detention center?

Here’s what God’s justice demands: All those parents and teens get a personal apology from the officers involved. All their direct expenses from this incident should be paid, with a portion of the relief taken from each of the officers involved and their entire chain of command. Then some real reforms will be instituted in which officers will actually obey the law in the process of enforcing it.

I don’t expect that to happen. None of it. The City will make soothing noises and this will continue, and escalate, until there’s a riot like the one in mentioned in yesterday’s post on police misconduct. That’s because no one here really gives a rat’s patootie about real causes and real solutions. Instead, it will be one more excuse to rob from the middle-class and poor and give to the rich. If you think the kids are troublesome, try a little citizen outreach. You’ll find thousands of them imprisoned in your sorry schools most days of the year, and it wouldn’t hurt to divert some of their precious instructional time for a little public relations. Oh yeah, I’ve been a certified teacher, too; I know the score. Stop sending the worst asshats you have down to police the schools. You get an attitude from kids because you started it. And no, not the insulting idiocy used in the past, like the DARE Program, but some real effort to know what makes them tick.

May God have mercy on you all, City of Oklahoma City, because someday it’s going to blow up in your faces, and you will have caused it, and will blame everyone else.

For myself, I’m not even in your jurisdiction, but it’s impossible for me to live without crossing through it. The laws have been carefully written and enforced so one could not pass gas in his own bed without some badge-toting thug having an excuse to haul him into court. I’m expecting the OKCPD to arrest me on trumped up charges before the end of this calendar year because I dared to suggest in this public fashion they weren’t saints of God. But on the outside chance they actually do take some action to change the culture of hatred and thugitude which characterizes the OKCPD, I’ll gladly fall on my face in humble apology and eat my words, right on this same blog.

God is watching us, between you me, Oklahoma City. I fall on my face before Him daily, so don’t waste your breath talking about how I might not be so angelic sweet as some of you. I already know and proclaim to all who will listen I deserve a short miserable life, a lingering painful death, and eternity in Hell. Anything you do to me less than a literal crucifixion is simply what I deserve as a sinner. God in His grace and mercy grants reprieve to those who repent, so when your thugs make their move, I won’t resist at all. I’m a Christian Mystic and pacifist, and I care more about the Other world than this one. I’m content to do His work here until He calls me home or destroys this world. Repent before it’s too late, because this one will be gone all too soon.

Editorial Note: God has always communicated through His prophets chiefly through the use of artistic hyperbole and parabolic language. Get used to it.

Requiem for Japan’s Fukushima Victims

Posted on July 22, 2011 by ehurst

I’m not talented enough to actually produce a good requiem, so I’ll get right to the point.

Radiation poisoning and other clinical symptoms of exposure normally take quite a while to show up, since the vast majority of such cases these days are from relatively low doses. However, we have more than enough evidence to indicate the results of the Fukushima nuclear generators disaster is producing fairly high doses in the surrounding population. I’m not in a position to know whether the Japanese government bureaucracies are slower or otherwise less benign than average in this world, but we can see all need to know the government of Japan has not acted wisely in this mess.

Take a moment from your daily dose of encroaching police state misery, and spare some sorrow for the millions of Japanese residents who will begin very soon suffering the effects of radiation exposure, if they haven’t already. It will all too soon become such a disaster, I wonder if it will dwarf the two nuclear bombs we dropped on them in the previous century. This time, we only helped a little as they did it to themselves. I doubt the people had any real useful information to even dream of what little resistance the Japanese culture would permit.

Then, I want you take a moment to consider how this hideous picture reflects the state of things, and know beyond all doubt, wherever you are in this world, it’s likely your government would do as bad or even worse than this.

When Words Fail

Posted on July 21, 2011 by ehurst

What do you call it when lying to excuse evil becomes the routine?

If a government representatives tells the truth, it’s only to cover up an even bigger lie. In other words, government is reflexively dishonest. That’s the default policy. Sure, I would bet I could go down to the county courthouse and find a few people trying to be honest, but not only are they remarkable rarities, their truth is buried by the lies in the system. The people involved have come so very far away from the reality of those they govern, it’s as if they are from a different planet. That’s the nature of government in America today. The alienation is stunning, dumbfounding, leaving one speechless. Sure, we could try to hold people accountable, but that won’t change the system until there are so many dead bodies there’s nothing left to govern.

The calcification of this system is hard to picture, impossible to describe. Before I do, you need to understand how to take my word with a grain of salt. I’m not upper class by any means, nor in sympathy with them. They are so uniformly psychopathic because that’s the only way you can be a part of the upper class. I’m not middle class, despite having been able to hold a middle class income and material possessions at times in my life. Nor am I the lower class type who is drawn to socialism or communism, and I’m not a Gen-X anarchist, either. If you need to put me in a convenient pigeon hole, the closest one would be the peasant lower class, the poor white trash out in the country who are inherently libertarian. Somehow I got a good education, so I really don’t fit there totally, but it’s where my gut reactions can be found. Any system at all is my enemy, because all of the other social groups want to use and abuse me for their own purposes. But I’m not interested in hurting anyone else. I just want to be left alone, so I stand on good moral grounds for directing hostile attention to something broken in my world.

I don’t sympathize with this writer, and I particularly don’t support the demand for free rides on the transportation system, but I certainly understand the hostility. Having been a cop myself, I still hate most police and their organizations today. I have no reason to believe the linked report is embellished much, and am totally unsurprised you can’t find even an opposing viewpoint reported anywhere. The gap between government and mainstream media is filled with money, so when one moves, the other follows. If government lies so much it is itself a big lie, why should we think the MSM is any different? We stand back and view such rioting with detachment because, while we don’t want any part of such rioting which hurts us, too, we sure don’t support government sponsored wanton murder.

I’ll give you one major clue to why I consider all law enforcement evil today. It’s based on moral principles at a cosmic level, from God Himself. It won’t matter how you theorize with your fallen human logic, God has revealed in His Word that He can be persuaded to change course on things. At the most fundamental level, if you come in humble repentance, He will pull you off the Hell-bound track and reconsider your case. At times in human history, the Bible indicates He was willing to negotiate and reconsider, actually meeting folks halfway, as it were. It’s called “mercy.” He promised lots of that. When any human on earth refuses to consider mercy, when they make rules for themselves which forbid reconsidering their actions, they stick their finger in God’s eye. When a cop sees what looks like a criminal act, and then discovers upon closer inspection it’s no longer reasonable to think so, they should back down. They should say, “Oh, sorry to bother you; just checking.” Then they need to get back on the job and keep an eye out for trouble they can prevent or help resolve.

Something at the very heart of the police mission, the reason we have taxes to pay them and buy all that stuff they use, is to make things a little safer and inhibit predators. When the biggest predator of all is the local police department, why do they still get to be the police? What ever happened to accountability? When they restrict who gets to talk to them so that they only hear from folks who mindlessly support their depredations, their protected clientèle, it does not excuse their lack of accountability to everyone else. But of course, once this situation exists, there is no going back; there is no reform possible. It becomes an armed camp of occupation, a closed system which exists merely to suck the life blood from the community which actually exists.

Ever year, there is fresh evidence police agencies and the governments they protect are increasingly more like this, and more of them. It’s spreading everywhere as the new normal, the standard model others are expected to follow. So we have unspeakably lawless behavior, sometimes leaking out into the news (invariably with all sorts of justifications), more often leaking out via alternative news sources, but often simply going unreported altogether. That’s because the people who would like to report it are in jail or dead, entirely because they were trying to report it. This goes on in some of the tiniest little wide spots on some unpaved back road out in the country. So when you see a riot in the big city being hidden from the news, you have to think we are seeing some rough justice.

Then government mouthpieces have to gall to say, “This is not the best way to complain.” As if they were ever interested in complaints in the first place! When words fail to restrain evil, it begs for even greater evil in response. When you flout God’s morals to pursue evil, He grants you all the evil you desire, and a lot more besides. It’s called “wrath” and it comes because you have chosen to run with the Devil.
