Magazine Middle East Peace Proposal by Ray Wegner Many Jews, Palestinians and Arab countries seem resigned to the seemingly inevitability of continued warfare, and hostilities in the Middle East. There is no reason why there can't be a period of prolonged peace in the area. Contact me because I am willing to help broker a peace - this is not an impossibility. You can't hit a high target, if you don't aim for it. It is time the people in these lands begin to cooperate with the inevitable. Isaiah 19: 18-19 " In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt shall speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called the city of destruction. In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the midst of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. " Isaiah 19:23-25 (from the Living Bible) " In that day Egypt and Iraq (literally, Assyria) will be connected by a highway, and the Egyptians and the Iraqi will move freely back and forth between their lands, and they shall worship the same God. And Israel will be their ally; the three will be together, and Israel will be a blessing to them. For the Lord will bless Egypt and Iraq because of their friendship with Israel. He will say, Blessed be Egypt, my people; blessed be Iraq, the land I have made; blessed be Israel my inheritance. " It is time for unity talks to begin between Iraq and Kuwait. The beginning of a dialogue with the hopes of an eventual unification. Too many religious leaders have been fomenting hatred and warfare in that area. We keep being told by Muslim clerics that Islam is a peaceful religion. If so, then what have suicide bombers got to do with peace ? Suicide bombing is a great tragedy for the bomber and the victims. Such tragic, desperate acts of destruction are symptomatic of a very negative social climate. There are not enough positive, productive, constructive avenues open for the talents and energies of these people. The social climate is too restrictive, and if life and freedoms are continually being denied then people react in various negative ways, like through escapism, apathy, or destructiveness. These suicide bombings are acts of desperation by a people who feel trapped and hopeless. The solution lies in the direction of freeing up these people, opening up opportunities and offering genuine opportunities for participation within society. The solution lies in the direction of offering Palestinians and Jews alike - hope. Hope that is based on genuine reforms, and opportunities for participation by all. If our energies and talents don't have constructive, productive outlets, because of a negative social climate then people quite often turn towards destructiveness. This destructiveness can be directed inwards or outwards towards others, or the perceived enemies. This is obviously what is happening now in Israel. Israel must agree to stop importing foreign labour, and open up these jobs to their own people and to Palestinians. Jews and Arabs are Semitic peoples, whose common ancestor is Abraham. God is the God of all mankind - Jew and Arab alike. The Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. There is no reason why the Temple and the Dome of the Rock cannot sit near each other on the Temple Mount. If there isn't enough room then expand the area they sit on to accommodate both. Perhaps just move one of the walls over a bit. Where does it say in scripture that the Temple must be built exactly on the same spot as Herod's or Solomon's Temple for example. Find a way so both religions can share the same general area. The Temple need not be 100% on the same site, because God loves all men Jews and Muslims alike. Israel must take over control of the Temple Mount, but the integrity of the Muslim Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount must be respected. Jerusalem should be a weapons free zone. Don't even allow the Police to carry weapons in Jerusalem. Violators should be punished severely. Naturally, if there are those who violate the peaceful sanctity of Jerusalem with violence, or with weapons - the Israeli government has the right to send in its armed forces to deal with the violators. Arab lands and other neighbouring countries, like Iran must recognize Israel's claim to that land - anciently called Canaan. God promised it to Israel. Do you think it wise to fight God's will ? Israel in Palestine needs to be encouraged to create friendly relations with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and Iran, but these countries must recognize the Jewish reality and want to enter into peaceful relations. All of Gaza and the West Bank need to become part of Israel. All Jerusalem needs to be under Israeli rule. There must be no combination of church and state as far as government is concerned. The government of Israel must be secular, but that certainly doesn't mean it should reject, or neglect its religious heritage, which is mainly Judaism. No Palestinian State envisioned whatsoever in the peace plan. Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and in Israel itself should be absorbed into Israel, and receive full rights as citizens, but they must denounce violence and not support or engage in terrorist activities. Those who preach violence, and want terror should be banned from Israel. Palestinians allowed to vote, but before they do they must sign a paper saying they agree with Israel's right to exist, and have sworn off violence. Then if they are discovered to be involved in violence and insurrection they can be deported from the country. Those slated for deportation must be able to appeal the decision in court, if they want to. If the court upheld the decision then they must be exiled. If no countries can be found that are willing to accept them, then they face fines or imprisonment. Exiled Palestinians will not have the right of return. All terrorist organizations must be declared illegal - including Palestinian and Jewish terrorist organizations. Palestinian leaders who advocate violence and terrorism can be tried for treason, or exiled. This includes Muslim clerics. Palestinians not restricted to living in certain areas, or territories. Palestinian Israelis must have the same rights as any other citizens. To provide a safety valve, opportunities for emigration opened up for those Palestinians, who refuse to accept the Jewish fact. Hopefully opened up to Arab countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or Kuwait. There is also certainly other channels for immigration of Palestinians, but they cannot be involved in terrorism, and must want to legitimately start a new life. Priority given to those living in refugee camps. Numbers emigrating to a specific country like Canada for example should be smaller, and at an even pace - a maximum of 12,000 per year, and other countries need to encouraged to help out, by offering to accept Palestinian immigration. These major changes may require a change in the government of Israel, and even in the Constitution. However, no changes can be permitted that would compromise Israel's right to exist, their right to defend themselves, or compromise the security of their citizens. Such an agreement (in my judgment) would assure peace in the area for at least the next 30 to 40 years. However, Bible prophecy says clearly there will be severe problems in this Middle East area just prior to the coming of the Messiah. That is basically my peace proposal for the area. However, if Jews and Palestinians insist on continuing to maim and kill each other that is their choice. The problem seems to be a lack of leadership and vision. Of course nothing is stopping people from continuing to support the same old corrupt, and incompetent leadership they have grown so accustomed to in Canada and in the Jewish State of Israel and among Palestinians, and anywhere else for that matter. It is your God given right to suffer. But if and when you tire of the nagging pain and suffering enough under your famous leaders - then give me a call (403 - 274-5253) , and we can see what concrete things can be done, and make some real positive and productive changes. So folks, please don't say no one is giving peace a chance. Don't your children deserve a prolonged period of peace ? Or would you prefer they commit suicide by being blown to bits, or die in an endless war ? No one - not even God - is going to stop you from destroying each other and from suffering. Give me a call when you are ready and willing to give peace a chance. Tel. (403) 274-5253 E-mail Address Mailing Address: Ray Wegner P.O. Box 475 Stn. Main Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P-2J1
The Essence of Feminism The essence of feminism is that it does not recognize the husband's, or father's authority in the family. Feminist ideology is therefore in conspiracy against fatherhood. If you want more information on the spiritual aspect of this matter - go to Feminist Ideology. Canada is a female dominated society. Women rule the roost. Most of the men have passively abdicated their God given authority in the home and family - to the women. The feminist movement has been politicized and taken over by a small group. These women illegitimately claim to speak for all women. A small group of radical feminists want to control and gain power over other women. The majority of women simply go along with the feminist leaders, because they are too weak to resist. As well the feminist view of femininity has been adopted in Canada in the main. (Feminism is a huge subject. There are all kinds of different interpretations of feminism. I have briefly given you the essence of the ideology.) Have wanted to do an article on feminism for quite awhile, but don't know where to begin. It appears to be such a vast and confusing subject. But is it really ? There seems to be just about as many definitions of what a feminist is as there are feminists. I am really bewildered as to all the different and clashing definitions. It seems that people can just create their own version of feminism to suit their fancy, or perhaps ambitions and politics of the moment. There doesn't seem to be any clear definition of feminism that everyone agrees to. There are different branches of feminist theory and thought that are supposedly recognized by feminist scholars. However, what exactly is a feminist scholar ? And what is the criteria for promoting someone to the " esteemed " position of feminist scholar, and who does the promoting ? Interesting questions, eh? My answer is that we are dealing with politics here. Feminism Defined - By the So-Called Experts There are different theories of feminism widely acknowledged and taught in women's studies courses, gender studies courses, etc. Feminism is theory that men and women should be equal politically, economically and socially. This apparently is the core of all feminism theories. So according to some supposed experts a feminist is defined as someone who believes in the theory of feminism that has been just mentioned. However, to me a true feminist is someone who does not recognize that the husband and father have any God given authority in the home and family. That is my interpretation of the essence of feminism. This feminist idea is basically in conspiracy against fatherhood. There are arguments and clashes within the feminist movement as how the theory is to manifest, or express itself, and why people believe in it. There seems to be little unanimity among feminists. However, there is definitely one constant here, and it is that feminist ideology absolutely rejects the biblical concept that God has made the husband the head of the wife. Feminism ideology cannot accept that idea, and therefore rejects the Biblical principles governing the family. Otherwise the idea seems infinitely flexible, and subject to the whims and changing tastes of its adherents. It is something like a religion that you can make up as you go along. If it is inconvenient for you today, then you just change it. Tomorrow you can change it again.
Let me now give you some of the more common feminist branches, or streams of feminism that the so-called experts appear to say are out there. Amazon Feminism Amazon feminists tend to view that all women are as physically capable as men. They believe there are no certain characteristics or interests that are inherently masculine, of feminine. Cultural Feminism says there are fundamental personality differences between men and women, and that women's differences are special and should be celebrated, and there are biological differences between the sexes. Like " women are kinder and more gentle then men," and so the twist goes that if women ran the world there wouldn't be any wars. Eco-feminism theory rests on the view that patriarchal philosophies harm women, children, and other life forms. Comparisons are made between society's treatment of the environment, animals, or resources and its treatment of women. In resisting patriarchal culture, eco-feminists believe they are also resisting plundering and destroying of the Earth. They feel patriarchal philosophy emphasizes the need to dominate and control females and wilderness. Eco-feminism says that patriarchal society is relatively new, having developed over the past 5,000 years or so, and that matriarchal society was first. In matriarchal society, women were the center of society and people worshipped Goddesses - a sort of Feminist Eden. Feminazi apparently made popular by Radio/TV host Rush Limbaugh. A feminazi is defined by anti-feminists as a feminist trying to make as many abortions as possible. Libertarian Feminism is based on individualism or libertarian philosophies. The main focus is individual autonomy, rights, liberty, independence and diversity. They tend to reject excessive government and economic control by bloated capitalism. Individualist feminism tends to broadly include men and focuses on barriers that men and women face due to their gender. Material Feminism was a movement in the late 19th century to liberate women by improving their material condition. It focused on taking the burden off women in regards to housework, cooking, and other traditional female domestic jobs. Moderate Feminism tends to consist mainly of younger women who have not directly experienced discrimination. They often question the need for further effort, thinking that feminism is no longer viable. They often view feminism as embarrassing. It's thought this group is most likely to adhere to feminist ideas and thoughts while denying being feminist. National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) or Gender Feminism The National Organization of Women (N.O.W.) is a United States feminist organization. Canada has its own version in the National Action Committee for the Status of Women. There are separate feminist organizations in other countries all around the world. However, it is important to understand that feminist ideology began in the USA, and therefore the ideology is principally run and controlled from its centre the USA. Other feminist organizations tend to look to the American organizations for leadership, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the USA feminist movement is domineering and just dominates the others. N.O.W. is based on the idea that for men and women to be equal, women must be granted special privileges, and men should not be an issue in feminism. Like publicly supporting women who want to enter traditional all-male schools. N.O.W. will take strong and loud stands to support this, but are silent regarding men being able to enter traditional all-female schools. Another example is N.O.W. supporting women publicly who are victims of sexual harassment, yet offering no public support for men who are victims of sexual harassment. In both cases, N.O.W. feminism includes only women and fights to offer special privileges to women with the intent of making women equal to men. Pop-Feminism is the negative man hating ideology. The type of feminism that degrades men in all ways and glorifies women. Radical Feminism is the spawning ground for many ideas arising from feminism. Radical feminism was the cutting edge of feminist theory from around 1967-1975 it is said, but there are others who will say that the radical feminists are still basically driving the feminist bus. Some will say that radical feminism is no longer as universally accepted as it was, and no longer serves to solely define the term, "feminism," but once again this is not a universal opinion. This group views the oppression of women as the most fundamental form of oppression, one that cuts across boundaries of race, culture, and economic class. This is a movement intent on social change, change of revolutionary proportions. Radical feminism questions why women must adopt certain roles based on their biology, just as it questions why men adopt certain other roles based on theirs. Radical feminism attempts to draw lines between biologically-determined behaviour and culturally-determined behaviour in order to free both men and women as much as possible from their previous narrow gender roles. Read some comments of some representatives of this group of feminists by going to Radical. Separatists Feminists advocating separation from men - perhaps total or at times partial. Women who organize women-only events are often labelled as separatist. The idea is that separating from men enables women to see themselves in a different context. Many feminists, whether or not separatist, think this is a necessary first step, for personal growth. However, they may not necessarily endorse permanent separation. All lesbians are separatists. They do not interact with men for sex, but they do not automatically shun all interaction with men.
There may be other branches of the femis-tree sprouting out as we speak. It would not surprise me if there is a special male feminist organization as well. The ideology appears to be infinitely capable of mutations. What kind of new feminist mutant that will emerge from the feminist and war of the sexes soup is anyone's guess. However, rest assured the ideology is fundamentally opposed to the biblical principles governing the family as explained in the New Testament. Rest assured that the ideology is in conspiracy against fatherhood, since it will not recognize that any husband or father has any God given authority in the home.
The Critical Wrong Turn in the Woman's Movement Maybe you have had this experience. The writer has. You are out on a trail deep in the forest. You have gone a long ways, and the day is fading. It is time to head on back home. You retrace your steps, and you come to a fork in the trail. One path goes this way, and the other goes a different way. You quickly and confidently make a decision to follow what appears to you a familiar trail. You tramp along on that trail for quite awhile, but a strange feeling comes over you. You were not on this path before. Things look unfamiliar. You went the wrong way. So you head on back the way you came. You return to the critical junction in the path, where you had made the wrong decision. You then go back on the correct way and eventually get home, maybe after darkness has set in. The women's liberation movement was on the right path at one time. The correct path is the road of social justice for women, the trail of equal pay for equal work, the difficult trail of protecting women from exploitation and from sexual abuse, the way of protecting and sheltering women from spousal abuse and domestic violence, the path of helping single and widowed mothers and their children, the path of getting women the vote and breaking down stereotypical barriers to employment, the tough road of breaking down entrenched societal barriers that depicted women as inferior and second class citizens, whose only place was in the home - subject to her husband, pregnant and barefoot. It was a good trail, a truly glorious hard road to struggle through. A lot of men like this writer were on that trail with the women, supporting and encouraging them. However, there was that critical fork in the road. A small band of deluded, power hungry, radical feminists took the wrong turn, and being weak many, many of the other women just went along with them and followed their lead. I refused to go along that path, because I realized it was the wrong way. That path has led to male bashing, and anti-male propaganda (go to article called Radical) It is a trail that has led to the quicksand of lesbianism, and homosexuality. It is a deadly path that has forced the followers of the radical feminists to endure the blood and gore of abortions on demand - the killing of their children. It is the dangerous path of deciding to make war against men and fatherhood and in the process seriously weaken the institution of traditional marriage - thus depriving too many women of the needed support system of a family and husband (read article called Radical). This dangerous road has exposed many women to the perils of irresponsible male predators, who sexually exploit women's so-called freedoms, but who have no intentions on making any commitments. Lov'em and leav'em is the motto of too many male creeps, bums and predators. Too many women who followed the present wrong headed feminist trail, are left exposed and helpless to these bums and creeps. It is a path where decent man, who could help, support and protect the women, have been scared off and chased away, thus exposing many women to every sort of trashy bum the gutter vomits up. This wrong trail has lead to pay equity, hiring equity, privileges instead of rights for women, special status for women, increased segregation of the sexes, and governments bending over backwards to cater to practically every whim of the feminist lobby. This wrong path has lead to a climate of suspicion and distrust among the sexes. It has led the feminist crusaders to the dangerous poisoned waters of damaged male-female relations. It is the wrong trail these people are on, but they do not realize or do not care. They do not suddenly realize this is wrong. No they just push ahead confident that they are on the right track, if only they could change the whole society to just go along with them. This they are trying to do. They want us all to follow their path of destruction, they in their power hungry arrogance have chosen. No way I'm going that way. It is too dangerous and it won't take you home. Those who go that way will become hopelessly lost. So the suggestion to the women's movement is for them to return to the correct path. Go on back to that critical fork in the trail where you made the wrong turn. Swallow your pride. We all get turned around a bit sometime. Go on back to the right track, and it will lead you home.
Too Many Male Gutless Wonders If only there were more courageous men, who stood up for what is right, and who refused to follow the feminist herd to their destruction. God has given the men authority in the home and family, if they are a husband and father. Not just authority, but responsibility too. Nobody has the right to deny you your God given rights and responsibilities. These are inalienable rights and responsibilities given to you by God. No human government has the legitimate authority to deny you these things. Your responsibility is to love your wife, be the head of the family, and expect the children to honour and respect their parents. You do not have any authority from God to abuse your wife and children. You do not have any right to dominate wife and children. You do have the right and responsibility to serve your family. You are supposed to be the leader, and you are supposed to serve your family. So get on with it man. So the little woman doesn't think that is the way things are done. Don't worry. Be patient. Remain committed to her and your family. Stick to your guns, and just keep doing what you know is right. Women follow their men usually. The real problem regarding this whole feminist quagmire is that there are too many male gutless wonders here in Canada, who just let the little woman lead them around by the nose. They don't know what it means to be a real man, and have never known their Creator. A real man should be a moral and spiritual leader in the home. They shouldn't be out goggling at strippers in a bar, or simply pursuing their own selfish interests. A real man doesn't just make kids and then abandon them. Who will care for the children ? There are too many children growing up without the influence of a father. So why are there so many male weaklings letting the courts, and radical feminists deny them access to their own kids ? Why don't they fight for their rights as a parent ? Or are they too gutless to even give a damn about their own flesh and blood ? It is time decent men stood up and condemned this plague of male creeps and bums, who infest our society and who prey on women. Little wonder so many woman have such terrible attitudes about men. This subject is broad and deep, but enough for now. Your comments, feedback, and support is welcome.

Radical Feminists Here are some commends of radical feminists taken from the internet. To the best of the writer's knowledge the quotes are indeed from the persons listed. However, I cannot be 100 % sure of this, so if the quotes are indeed not from the person mentioned then by all means correct me, and I will change this. For now we shall leave it as it is.
“What then, do you think of marriage and husbands in general?” “Marriage is a prison no true feminist would ever let herself be caught in. A husband? Well..., a husband is a rapist that buys you flowers.” " Women are the only oppressed group in our society that lives in intimate association with their oppressors. " Evelyn Cunningham " Most women are one man away from welfare. " Gloria Steinem
" During the feminist revolution, the battle lines were again simple. It was easy to tell the enemy, he was the one with the penis. This is no longer strictly true. Some men are okay now. We're allowed to like them again. We still have to keep them in line, of course, but we no longer have to shoot them on sight. " Cynthia Heimel, Sex Tips for Girls, 1983
" I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which a man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He's just incapable of it." -- Former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan "I feel that ' man-hating ' is an honourable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them." -- Robin Morgan, MS. Magazine Editor " Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women's bodies." -- Andrea Dworkin "When a woman reaches orgasm with a man she is only collaborating with the patriarchal system, eroticising her own oppression..." -- Sheila Jeffrys "Since marriage constitutes slavery for women, it is clear that the women's movement must concentrate on attacking this institution. Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage." (radical feminist leader Sheila Cronan). "Men are the enemies of women. Promising sublime intimacy, unequalled passion, amazing security and grace, they nevertheless exploit and injure in a myriad subtle ways. Without men the world would be a better place: softer, kinder, more loving; calmer, quieter, more humane." --Ann Oakley (b. 1944), British sociologist, author. Taking It Like a Woman, "A French Letter" (1984).

War in Iraq Important Message for the United States and its Little Brother Canada (published exclusively on this web site Dec.29,2002), and Message Concerning the War on Iraq (published exclusively on this web site March 19, 2003). I promise that these messages were delivered onto my web site by myself on the dates stated, and this is no lie. God is the one who builds up and tears down nations. God can easily use one nation to punish another. The United States and Iraq are created by God, and belong to Him. He will decide what to do with them. Saddam Hussein and George Bush rule, because God has promoted them to those positions. God has the power to demote them as well. If God wants to punish a people, because their sins are increased then God has the power to promote rulers in that land, who make stupid, backward decisions, and who perhaps lead their people into foolish, senseless wars. Daniel 4:17 " ..........to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men." Met a pleasant neighbour lady on the bus, about three weeks before the USA War on Iraq began. We got to talking and she said she had just come from a prayer meeting where her and others had prayed for peace. I didn't have the heart to tell her that she was wasting her time. Matthew 24:6-7 " And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: " The Bible teaches that a rebellious mankind does not know the way of peace. Roman 3: 15-17 " Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known. " You may start hearing the fanatical scare mongering by various religious groups that this war is going to lead to Armageddon. Many will probably be claiming (again) that the end is nigh. We went through all that silly hype on January 1, 2000. The end was supposedly near then too. So let me clear this matter up right here and now. Jesus Christ will return sometime between the years 2040 to 2070 (that is my educated guess). There are numerous specific signs, or prophecies that must come to pass first before He returns. You can get the straight goods on this matter by going to my page Signs of Christ's Return. This war will not lead to a worldwide nuclear holocaust, since that sort of thing is just not prophesied in the Bible to happen at this time. The Great Tribulation will occur just prior to Christ's return, which is still quite a ways off. This doesn't mean that this Iraq War can't get out of hand and escalate into a worldwide conflict. It has the potential to do so. This war is setting a dangerous precedent. One sovereign nation is attaching another sovereign nation, with the specific intention to change the government of that country. This could easily open a Pandora's Box, where more powerful nations will just invade their weaker neighbours, if they don't like the politics of the governments of their weaker enemies. Canada will probably be forced to eventually support the USA in this matter, because already the heat is being turned up by Uncle Sam. The bullying has started already, and will get so strong that eventually the little USA colony Canada will capitulate and throw their support behind Bush and his gang. Countries all around the world probable realize already that the world is now dominated by the United States, which is the most powerful single nation (economically, and militarily) the world has ever seen. It is God who has made them so great. They are the modern day descendants of the half tribe Manasseh, who are the joint recipients (along with Ephraim) of the birth right blessings given to the tribe of Joseph. God promised to make the descendants of Manasseh into a great nation: Genesis 48:19 " And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he (that is Manasseh) also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother (Ephraim) shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations." Genesis 22:17 " That in blessing I will bless thee (Abraham and his seed) , and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; " Genesis 35:10-11 " And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; " Genesis 49:22-26 " Joseph (the tribe of Joseph was divided into Ephraim and Manasseh) is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. " God has made the United States great. He has kept His promise in the Bible. Therefore God is no longer under any further obligation to continue keeping the USA so great. Therefore God can at this time begin to diminish the USA and in fact tear it apart. He has kept His promise, and now can simply tear apart the USA (since their sins are greatly increased). There is a tremendous amount of hypocrisy from many of these nations who oppose the US War in Iraq. Russia, France, and China are members of the UN Security Council, who are against the war, and are astonishingly hypocritical. Look at Russia's horrible treatment of the Chechens ? Look at how the former Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. What about the Chinese invasion, occupation and suppression of Tibet ? China is a communist dictatorship. What about French interference in the elections in Algeria, where the democratic wishes of Algerians were stifled ? This resulted in a long civil war where multiple thousands of Algerians were killed. France supported the suppression of democracy in the elections, because they did not want the people of Algeria voting in a fundamentalist Islamic government. We are witnesses to a major turning point in history in regards to this USA led War in Iraq. Let me summarize the amazing key points in this watershed of history.
Saddam Hussein Captured By United States Forces December 14,2003 The American propaganda machine has started churning out its deception already. What we need is honesty. This article is going to give you an honest assessment of Saddam Hussein, his rule in Iraq, his wars, the USA invasion of Iraq, and how the USA will deal with Saddam. First of all Iraq was an independent state (before the invasion and occupation of Iraq by USA and British forces). Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator. He was not a nice guy. Yet this was the head of the government of Iraq. The social and political situation in that country worked in such a way as to make it possible for such a man to rise to power. Dictatorships are nothing new in this world. In the year 2000 is was estimated there were 48 countries rated not free - 2,157,500,000 (2,157.5 billion people) or 35 % of the globe’s population lived under dictatorships, where basic political rights and civil liberties were denied. There were 58 countries considered partly
free or 1,435.8 billion people or 23 % of the world’s population,
where there was a mixed record with more limited political rights and
civil liberties, sometimes accompanied with corruption, weak rule of law,
and the excessive political dominance of a ruling party, in some cases
characterized by ethnic or religious strife. In 2000 there were 86 countries regarded as free - 2,465.2 billion people or 40 % of the world population in which a broad range of political rights were respected. We are now into the year 2003, and little has really changed since 2000. Most of the people in the world live under dictatorships, or semi-dictatorships (about 59 % of the world's population). Even within so-called free countries like Canada - the best we have is elected dictatorships, although thankfully in Canada we have had so far benevolent elected dictatorships. In Canada they don't shoot you for expressing dissent against the powerful establishment - they just ignore and isolate you, and if you become too much of an irritant they will work to discredit you through the established media propaganda machine. The United States Used To Support Saddam Hussein Saddam was supported economically by the USA, because Saddam was the enemy of Iran, and Iran is the enemy of the USA. Hussein fought a long war against Iran (8 years), and received considerable financial and military aid from the USA. The estimated military death toll in the Iran-Iraq War from 1980 to 1988 was 850,000. There was no peace initiative by the USA, or any other so-called free and peace loving country in this long Iran- Iraq War. Few countries really gave a damn, including Canada. The USA response was to fuel the conflict by providing Saddam with military support through military hardware, billions of dollars of credits, military intelligence and advice, and closely monitoring third country arms sales to Iraq to make sure Saddam had the weapons required. USA Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld visited Baghdad, and Saddam twice in 1983 and 1984 to offer support, and this was when Saddam had already begun gassing Iranians. In 1984 the USA State Dept arranged the sale of 45 Bell 214ST helicopters to Iraq, which were later on used to deliver lethal gas attacks against Hussein's domestic enemies. As long as you are useful to the self-interests of the USA - you are their friend. When you are no longer useful, or want to assert yourself - then you become the enemy of the USA.
Iraqi Claim Over Kuwait (map downloaded from the internet)
Saddam made a fatal blunder when he invaded Kuwait, since this offended the USA. The USA put together a coalition, and Saddam was repulsed militarily from Kuwait. Little has been said as to the claim Iraq and Hussein had made over Kuwait. There is considerable evidence to suggest that Iraq has indeed a legitimate claim over that territory. Kuwait is an unnatural country created by the British to insure their imperial domination in the area, and to give them access to the rich oil reserves in that territory. Take a look at the map and it can be clearly seen that Kuwait and Iraq belong as one entity. Yet they are artificially divided, due to imperialism, and colonialism. Am supportive of talks between Iraq and Kuwait with the eventual goal being reunification. United States Economic Sanctions Imposed Against Iraq After the Gulf War, the USA was motivated to impose an economic blockade against Saddam and Iraq. Economic sanctions were in place since August 6, 1990, with the support of the UN Security Council. Technically, they were UN sanctions, but the U.N. was involved in name only. The embargo would of collapsed swiftly if the United States had withdrawn its support for the sanctions. There was an oil for food program, but Saddam balked at this. Saddam wouldn't be dominated by the USA, but he must assume a large part of the responsibility for the suffering of Iraqis under the sanctions. Since their beginning the sanctions have been indirectly responsible for the death of a million or more Iraqis by means of malnutrition and disease. Many victims being children under the age of five. Osama bin Laden has said that one of the main reasons the World Trade Center was attacked was the United States sanctions against Iraq. The real issue here was domination of Iraq by the USA. Saddam was a bully. So was the USA. In the end the bigger bully usually wins. In the process many innocent civilians suffer. USA Claimed Iraq Harboured Weapons of Mass Destruction This was the justification USA President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair made in invading Iraq. They claimed Saddam never came clean with the U.N. weapons inspectors. They claimed Saddam was concealing such weapons. Saddam claimed he had no such weapons, but Bush obviously felt Saddam was lying, or perhaps Bush had his own agenda. Bush claimed Hussein was deceiving the UN inspectors, so gave him an ultimatum. Again we are dealing with domination and intimidation. Bush felt Saddam was just playing games, so a plan for invasion was put in place. There has been no proof that weapons of mass destruction were hidden and retained by Saddam in Iraq. Yet this was the only legitimate reason Bush and Blair gave to justify their plan of regime change in Iraq. Bush claimed to be fighting the War on Terrorism, and said Saddam was a threat to the USA, because of his supposedly possession of weapons of mass destruction that he could possibly deliver to the continental USA. We shall find out more, now that Saddam has been captured. Let us see if he can disclose where these missing weapons are supposedly stored, or buried. Now Saddam did finance Palestinian suicide bombings in Israel. Paying I believe somewhere around $ 25,000 or so to the families of those Palestinians who blew themselves up in suicide terrorist attacks against Jews. This sort of action was despicable, and must be thoroughly condemned. Financing of terrorism shows you are part of the bloody terrorist acts of destruction. United States and British Invasion of Iraq with The Intent of Regime Change This opened up a Pandora's Box. One or more countries are attacking an independent sovereign country with the specific intention to change the government of that country. This was done in spite of the fact that Saddam never, specifically attacked militarily Britain or the United States. Yes Saddam fought the coalition arrayed against him in the Gulf War, and Britain and the USA were part of that coalition. However, there was no proof Saddam legitimately posed any direct threat militarily to the homeland of Britain and the USA. This is very serious, because now the only remaining superpower has taken it upon themselves to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign countries. And to even go so far as to (as in the case with Iraq) invade specific lands to change a government that is the enemy of the USA. Domination and Imperialism The USA invades Iraq and tries to kill Saddam. The United States has shown clearly that they now dominate a new world capitalist order. No nation at this time can stand up to the fire power and sophisticated weaponry of the USA. The USA now dominates and controls much of the Middle East. There supposedly are plans in place to build and maintain three large permanent military bases in Iraq, and link them to new military bases in Central Asia. The USA controls Russia through bribery. The UN is dominated by them, including NATO. The USA maintains military based throughout the world, like in South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Guam, Philippines, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Italy, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Kosovo, Macedonia, Hungary, Azores Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Norway, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Puerto Rico, Marshall Islands, Honduras, Guantanamo Bay Cuba, Hawaii....................... and on and on it goes - there are over 300 USA military bases all around the world. Even before Sept. 11, the USA military had a presence in 140 countries worldwide. The USA would like to get a hold of the vast oil reserves of Central Asia and Iraq. Their appetite for energy seems insatiable. The real motive behind this invasion of lands like Iraq seems to be big oil and big business. The providing of lucrative foreign business contracts to USA companies. The exploiting of the resources of these countries to fill the gaping USA imperial appetite. The invasion and occupation of Afghanistan provides an opening for the USA to get a hold of the vast energy resources of Central Asia, and build pipelines through Afghanistan and down through friendly lap dog Pakistan to the sea ports. Then this energy can be shipped to the USA to feed its insatiable imperial appetite. As well natural gas and oil from central Asia can be sold to Pakistan, and India, and in the process enrich the powerful USA energy corporations. United States foreign policy is governed by the doctrine of "full-spectrum dominance", which means that America should control military, economic and political development worldwide. Basically a policy of worldwide domination. This is exactly what we are seeing in Iraq. Now That Saddam is Captured - How Will the USA Deal With Him ? This is going to be a very sticky problem for the USA. Maybe Bush might have preferred a dead Saddam, as opposed to a living and talkative Saddam. Hussein knows a lot, and could prove to be a huge embarrassment to the United States, if put on trial. The trial could not be secret - it would have to be open. This will give Saddam a chance to cause the USA a lot of problems. Saddam wasn't the only dictator in the world. The world is full of very odious, repressive dictatorships. The USA would probably like to get rid of Saddam as soon as possible, before he talks too much. Domination, Exploitation and Imperialism The United States is now at the peak of their power and influence, but this power has not been used right. It has been used to dominate, humiliate and exploit. Expect to see the USA being attacked on many fronts. Expect them to be weakened by the financial costs of these foreign adventures. Read " Important Message for the USA " This is the beginning of the end of USA world domination. USA defence spending will reach over $ 3.1 trillion US dollars over the next two years. Even the world's only remaining superpower cannot sustain such a huge drain on its resources indefinitely. Something has to give. Where To Now ? Saddam Hussein is just one of many dictators throughout the world. He ruled with barbaric brutality, and it is only fitting that he be captured. How he is to be punished will be a very sticky problem. If he can be put on trial for war crimes - then what about all the other war criminals who rule various nations all around the world ? Should they also be captured and put on trial ? And by whom should they be captured and tried ?
The Little Red Rooster A crafty politician once stated " in politics the perception is the reality." In this day and age of mass and instant communications with television in almost every home, politicians of every stripe are becoming more and more expert at manipulating the media. The mass media in its monopoly position over the distribution of news, can make or break a politician. Take Robert Stanfield for example. The media made fun of him unmercifully. They didn't attack his policies so much as his personality and image. He had a strange habit of thinking before he spoke, which the media exploited to make fun of. So the image of Stanfield came across as one who was slow, ponderous and rather dull. Pierre Trudeau on the other hand projected a media image of being slick, dashing and charismatic. The people kept voting for him again and again - while the debts kept rising and rising. Ronald Reagan was a classic example of an expert at media manipulation. His career of acting prepared him perfectly for the White House. The people keep falling for these slick con jobs again and again. Brian Mulroney and Bill Clinton are more examples ---------- very slick, smooth, charming, projecting a wonderful TV image, and the people fell for it again. Joe Clark didn't last long, again because of the media knives sticking in his back. He walked funny, laughed strangely, looked boyish and the media cartoonists had a field day. Policy, ideas, vision, sound fiscal management take second place to image and personality. " Oh he is so charming. He makes me feel good about myself and my country. He looks like a leader. I have confidence in him. I love his wife---- she is so kind." It's the same old worn out baloney again and again. A strange thing has happened, however. The con artists (the mass media and the politicians) have actually begun to believe their own lies particularly the big smasher that " the perception is the reality." So now our problems are just a question of perceptions and attitudes ! Change the perception, so change the reality ! So to them their main job is to manipulate public opinion and do some social engineering. Enter the era of political correctness, and the thought police. George Orwell, where are you when we need you ? The established media these days is like the little red rooster, who thought it was his crowing which caused the sun to rise. They even want to play God and reshape a whole generations attitudes, thus creating a new man in their own image.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) here in Canada is an excellent illustration of a media outlet severely afflicted by the " little red rooster syndrome." Their left wing, feminist (anti-male), homosexual, aboriginal, immigrant and ethnic agenda and propaganda is very well known. It is so blatant and open it is pathetic. They go out of their way to push their political agenda. I find it rather boring to write much about the established media. Many Canadians have been mislead by the media into thinking that just because the issues are being discussed in the media - this must mean someone is doing something about it. In reality it is just the media feeding and profiting on the problems and suffering of this country. Talk Show host Dave Rutherford is an excellent illustration of this phenomenon. It is nothing but talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, and more talk. Yet many listeners have the perception that because the issues are being discussed on the talk shows - then this must mean something is being done to deal with the various issues. However, this is a dangerous assumption. Citizens then feel there is nothing more they need do, because after all people like Rutherford are talking about the problem, and even interviewing important people, who are also good talkers. Therefore nothing concrete gets done ! These kind of people are actually profiting and advancing their careers by feeding on the various problems this country faces. The issues Rutherford deals with today on his program are very much the same as the subjects he talked about years in the past. It is something like a merry-go-round. Five years from now - will he be still rehashing the same old worn out subjects ? I see no reason to doubt it. The media people go on their expensive jaunts, get a good wage, but the problems we face are not being resolved. There are simply too many media people, bureaucrats and experts who feed on our troubles, and profit from them. They study, and talk, and pontificate, but very, very little concrete is being done to fix things up. There is this entrenched establishment we have here in Canada (which most of the media is part of), that isn't interested in solving our problems. The status quo benefits them enormously, so they have no interest in seriously rocking their comfy boat. They will just push the various hot button issues to advance themselves, and give the perception that they really are interested in resolving them. However, it is just smoke and mirrors. It is just about boosting the ratings, so they can charge more for advertising, and take a longer and more expensive holiday overseas, or to the USA. I have repeatedly asked various media outlets for publicity for the concept of the House of Israel. Yet all one gets is the iceberg treatment. Yet millions of words have been written, and spoken by the media on various notorious criminals like Clifford Olsen, Paul Benardo, Karla Homolka, and now William Pickton. Mass murderers, rapists, thieves, robbers, muggers, child molesters, and other assorted creeps and bums get all kinds of publicity from our media - yet I can't even get a single media person to call me up and offer to have me on their program. Only Dave Taylor ever did that - he is the only one who had enough guts to have me on his show. Scum bags get all kinds of publicity, and space in the newspaper - like William Pickton, and Clifford Olsen. So what does that tell you ? It tells us that we are dealing with very serious corruption in regards to the established media. In fact Peter Warren used to hatefully call " born again Christians " the scum of the earth - right on his program live. It also says that the little red rooster is still as cocky as ever, and still thinks it is his crowing that causes the sun to rise in the morning.
The Black Mans Burden Africa, and particularly black Africa is a basket case. Now there are many misconceptions regarding Africa. Many assume Africans are all black, yet forget the Arabs in the North, the white South Africans, and a lot of others who are not black. You do not have to be black and a Negro to be African. Why is it that when a white man kills a black man in Africa it is a monstrous crime, yet if a black man kills another black man it is too often accepted ? The white regime in South Africa used to practice apartheid. The left wing media ( the CBC types ) here in Canada were foaming at the mouth at the injustice of it all. Day after day and year after year we were subject to their relentless propaganda campaign against white rule in South Africa. The imprisoned Nelson Mandela was their great hero. Well the left wingers got their wish. Mandela was released and white rule and apartheid in South Africa ended. What has happened since ? South Africa is now one of the most crime ridden nations on earth. Perhaps the most fundamental duty of every government is to maintain law and order. Yet South Africa is in a state of civil war between the forces of law and order and the criminal class. 21,000 (twenty one thousand) people were murdered in South Africa last year ! According to Rape Crisis, a woman is raped every 23 seconds in South Africa. According to a study by Unisa, based on police information, a million women and children are raped annually. Johannesburg is probably one of, if not the most crime infested cities in the world. It is difficult to get government statistics on crime, because the present South African government suppresses such information. Also they tend to claim crime is a legacy of past injustices and the system of apartheid. Thus the government is too often refusing to accept their responsibilities, and playing a politically convenient blame game. There can be no denying the facts, however. Yet our famous left wing media here in Canada is almost totally silent. Why ? Why doesn't the CBC do extensive news programs on the South African crime wave, like they did about white rule, and apartheid ? Why don't they give us the statistics regarding the health of the country under white rule as opposed to the present regime ? We could use some cold hard analysis. Yet there is no such journalistic work being done by them to my knowledge. Why ? The answer should be obvious. They don't give a damn about black Africans. They are too busy playing their political games to be concerned about things like the murder of black people. Look at the situation regarding Zimbabwe. This land used to be called Rhodesia. Ian Smith had declared a Unilateral Declaration of Independence. Under Ian Smith's rule Rhodesia was virtually self-sufficient. It was an exporter of food. The economy was strong, and there was more freedom than now. However, the British were motivated to impose sanctions. The left wing western media kept up a barrage of propaganda and lies directed towards the Rhodesian government. The
eventual leadership of Muzorewa and his ignoring of advice from Ian
Smith, led to a dangerous agreement being signed on Dec. 23, 1979. The
deal called for new elections at which the rebel leaders would take full
part.
The elections began in February 1980 and there was intimidation of
voters by the rebels. The election was a tragic farce, a cynical betrayal
of democracy and of the people of Rhodesia. As a direct consequence of this corrupt election, the ZANU (PF) party of Robert Mugabe came to power. This was a dark day in the history of Rhodesia, a tragedy for democracy and the beginning of the end for Rhodesia as a democratic first world country. The candle of freedom and democracy had been extinguished, and Rhodesia gradually slipped into the darkness of dictatorship and economic decline. Once Rhodesia became the new nation of Zimbabwe, it began its inexorable twenty year fall into corruption and total ruin. Today under Magabe's corrupt reign in 2002 the nation is in ruins. Once an exporter of food, the country now must import. There are serious food shortages, and even the possibility of starvation. The unemployment rate is sky high. It is a huge economic mess, and a brutal dictatorship as well. The woes of Zimbabwe are well documented. Magabe was once the great African hero of the left wing CBC types. Yet most of what we see today in Zimbabwe is ruin and corruption. Why doesn't the left wing western media spent the same time, energy and resources fighting the corrupt Magabe regime that they spent crucifying the government of Ian Smith, and lambasting white rule in South Africa ? It is very simple folks. They don't give a damn about black Africans. They just want to play their stupid political games. Look at the situation in Rwanda. In April 6, 1994, Hutu extremists unleashed a genocide in which perhaps up to 800,000 people (mostly Tutsi and moderate Hutus) were murdered in one hundred days. This was black on black criminal genocide by a Hutu majority-led government in Rwanda primarily against the Tutsi minority that was for the most part exterminated. When blacks exterminate blacks in Africa the western, left wing CBC types are mysteriously very quiet. There is no foaming at the mouth, or cries for justice. Instead they will try to feed us the propaganda that this is a legacy of colonialism !! Upwards of 800,000 lives brutally snuffed out. Blacks killing blacks. Why doesn't the left wing western media give us some comparisons between the numbers of blacks massacred under Ian Smith's rule in Rhodesia, and those killed in Rwanda ? Well of course they won't give out these figures because the numbers killed in Rhodesia are miniscule in comparison. So what is the lesson ? It is very simple. These left wing CBC types don't give a damn about black Africans. They are too busy playing their ridiculous political games to be concerned about some little brown and black people in Rwanda. However, if this would have been a white government killing a few blacks, then they in all likelihood would go into hysterics. From one end of black Africa to another we see corruption. Oh for sure there are some good news stories, but not enough of them. Look at Angola. This country has the potential to feed all of black Africa. However, it has been locked in an endless civil war. Look at the former Zaire - now called the Democratic Republic of Congo. This a land with enormous resources and huge potential, yet it is locked in poverty, and seemingly endless civil strife. Rich in natural resources, the country is nonetheless economically stunted due to decades of misrule in the second half of the 20th century, under dictator Mobutu Sese Seko. And we can go on and on from one basket case of a country to another. Africa may be the richest continent in both natural and human resources in the world and has huge potential to reach great heights in every sector of development. Yet today, it is the least developed, most impoverished and war-ravaged continent on the planet, with millions of its inhabitants suffering untold miseries on a daily basis. One of the major reasons for this continued crisis in Africa has less to do with a lack of human or other resources, and more to do with the outright poor management of resources coupled with mediocre leadership. Far too many leaders have sought office just to serve their own greedy interests, which in too many cases has resulted in the plundering of national coffers. Very few current and former African leaders are free from the scandal of corruption, bribery, nepotism, greed, embezzlement and general mismanagement of resources in their respective nations. Corruption and greed engulf Africa with terrible effects. Yet you won't hear much about this corruption from the left wing CBC types here in Canada. Why ? They are too politically correct to care about the truth. They are too interested in their ethnic politics to care about justice. They are too busy turning Canada into a haven for illegal immigrants to care about fairness. It is time black Africans stopped blaming the white man, slavery and colonialism for all their problems. It is time to grow up folks. It is also time for black Africans to take responsibility and ownership of the current aids epidemic in Africa. How is this disease spread ? Primarily through intimate sexual contact. The root of this disease afflicting so many black Africans is sexual promiscuity, and irresponsible sexual behaviour by way too many black men. This disease could be stopped in its tracks tomorrow, if most black African men started being more sexually responsible, and stopped being sexually promiscuous. The African cultural practice of polygamy hasn't helped the matter. However, if men (even if they practice polygamy) were to be faithful to their wives, the disease would have much less chance of spreading. There should be much greater international aid for fighting this terrible pestilence, but the real solution lies with black African men. Isn't it time for decent men in Africa, who are sexually responsible, to start criticizing and condemning those men in their lands who are sexually irresponsible ? Africa has great potential. What is needed is stable, good government. Don't worry about the colour, or ethnic origins of your leaders and rulers. Just support those who can do the best job, and who are really concerned for the welfare of the people. And if that means having to perhaps import some good leaders then so be it. It don't matter what colour they are. What matters is results.
