Blog Sidebar

Hello World:
During the past week I was looking over my blog, as I do occassionally to make sure everything looks okay. Well I noticed that there was a problem with my sidebar. My sidebar is the bar to the right of all my post that contains my profile, text, links, etc. Well, even though I have been blogging since September 2006, this sidebar issue was new to me. I put some very important text in my sidebar, but my px margins was to small. So, I noticed the possibility, that some people may not be able to view my sidebar clearly depending on what type of browser they have. Therefore, I had to learn on the job, how to read my blog html codes, and figure out how to widen my sidebar so everyone could read it properly. I did a little research, and went into my code, and figured it out. So, I am relieved because at the top beginning of my sidebar, I talk about how to get to Heaven. That is very critical information. My whole sidebar is very important; Heaven, my profile, those scriptures God gave me, and my archive posts listings. I would consider my sidebar to be just as important as my current post section.

So here is the thing, after juggling back and forth the space margins between my post section and my sidebar section. I determined and made it so, that my sidebar is actually wider than my post. Normally it is the other way, but like I said, my sidebar information is extremely important to everybody. Also, there is the possibility that God will give me another scripture to add there. I may change the margins again in the future, but for now it will be like it is. All my blog information should be readable now, thanks to the Lord.

Presidential Power

Hello World:
Are you Presidential? Do you feel Presidential today? Do you exude an aura of Presidentuality? I discussed in the last post how the U.S. Congress needs to change the Constitution to limit the U.S. President's power to send troops, and free-will declare war. Well it appears with no surprise, that this is not going to happen.

There are several things going on with the U. S. government. First, they are playing games with the American citizens by wasting time, and wasting tax payers dollars with their silly congressional meetings on Iraq. Those so-called resolutions against the President means absolutely nothing. They can not even pass the resolutions. Even if Congress pass the resolutions, they do not stop the President from doing what he wants. Also, the way U.S. law is set up, there is government confusion going on in America when it comes to war. Since congress has the legal authority to declare war, they really should have the sole power to send the troops, as long as a functioning congress exist. Elsewise, since the President has the power to send troops, then he should have the power to declare war. In other words, the power to declare war and send troops, should be given solely to one branch of the government, and not split. Since it is split, between congress and the President, there is confusion. The checks and balances of the founding fathers are not working, because the President sort of hijacked congressional authority.

This is why the Lord led me to say what I said in the post before this. America needed and still needs to make a big statement to the world, and show that they are serious about peace and changing Iraq for the better. America needs to begin constitutional amendment processes, and impeachment processes. To many innocent people have died unnecessarily. The lack of effective actions by the U.S. Congress in the past week shows that they are not serious about ending the chaos in Iraq, nor are they serious about protecting the American people in America, or when Americans travel to other countries.

It does not matter even what political party is in control, because both parties are guilty of joking around with America's future. I need to also, throw something else in about Iraq. Let us say that American troops went into Iraq, and was highly successful both militarily and socially. What if, not factor 2, but what if there was no insurgency, little or no killing, no Arab backlash toward Americans in the region, and Saddam Hussein surrendered, and Iraqi infrastructure was still strong. Even if everything went well in Iraq from the start, that all still would not mean that it was the right thing to do for America. American forces being highly successful in Iraq does not translate into being righteous in God's eyes. In other words, success or winning or being on the victorious side does not necessarily mean you were or are good, Godly, or the good guys. There are alot of successfully evil people who have walked the earth; who have been very victorious, accepted and embraced by mankind. You have to be careful and ask God to help you to choose "His" right side and "His" righteous path.

Nevertheless, things have gone absolutely horrible for America in Iraq. Hard choices need to be made in America. Choices that will hurt some people's feelings, bruise some people's pride. The hard choices are the only way to ease tensions in the region, make things better in Iraq and make the world a little more peaceful. It appears that America does not want to make those hard choices. The sufferings, bloodshed, hatred and chaos continues in Iraq. God is watching, and He is not pleased.

Needle And Thread, The Impossible?

Hello World:
Scripture Reference: St. Matthew, Chapter 19; Verse 23-"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24-"And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25-"When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, who then can be saved?
26-" But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them? With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

I present those scriptures today, for a different reason you might think. Usually, when someone talk about those scriptures, they are talking about money. However, not me here. Not today. I may use those scripture down the road to discuss money, because I do plan to talk about money as the Lord leads me, but not here. Also, notice in the title of this post I put question mark. The reason why I put a question mark is to mark those scriptures for possible future discussion. There is a fact about those scriptures that is misinterpreted by preachers. I will discuss that at a later date. That is why the queston mark, to add mystery.

What I wanted to use those scriptures for is to discuss an American possibility in America and in Iraq. However, the possibility in America will be more like impossible, as in the rich man entering into Heaven.

This is what the Lord showed me recently about American military troops in Iraq. First thing, Most of the American fighting troops need to leave Iraq. To do this, the congressmen and people of America at home need to do something. America needs to make a big gargantuan statement to the world that they are serious about leaving Iraq and healing the Iraqi people and land. America does not need to play games, because too many people have already died unnecessarily, and too much destruction of the iraqi infrastructure has taken place.

Therefore, America needs to stand up, and use its' laws to impeach its current president, vice president. Remove the current executive cabinent. Then America needs to place a serious leader in the white house who will use diplomacy to talk to all Arab parties in the region, whether friend or enemy, to get more Arab involvement regionally to build and stabilize Iraq, without force.

Although, currently, under U.S. law, the Congress has the power to declare war. The President has the power to send troops, being the top military commander. This current President declares wars as he likes. This U.S. Congress and the Courts have allowed him to do this. Therefore, the U.S. Congress, who has amendment powers, needs to Amend the U.S. Constitution, for a situation such as a failed foreign policy in Iraq, to which the President's power is limited and can be over-ruled when it comes to sending troops and declaring war free-willed, or illegally. Especially, for a president who does not want to listen to nobody, is stubborn, and who down right just do not have a clue about anything.

The U.S. military can be diverted to other countries like, Sudan, in Darfur for humanitarian protection of refugees, and helping with food, medicine and shelter for the poor in countries like Sudan. The Lord is showing me that the American troops need to be in countries to prevent further death, genocide and destruction, and that place is not in Iraq. Again, the chaos in Iraq can only end if the U.S. act now to allow for other Arab nations to come in diplomatically, backed by Arab governments. In other words, allow the Arab countries in the region to take the lead on helping Iraq. Again America needs to pull its military troops out of harms way in Iraq. America in talking with all governments in the region, need to consider accepting a immediate secondary role in helping as specified by MOST of the regional countries. If America does all of this, it will reduce alot of the killings, chaos, and hatred towards America. America would be doing the right thing. In turn, this would be one of the many things America needs to do, for starters, that would really please God. America as a nation has alot of work to do to get right with God, this thing in Iraq is one of those things. Just as the title of this post says, will America do the impossible; and make a serious statement to the world, to God, implement the steps mentioned above and do what is right?

What If Factor One

Hello World:
I was impressed by God to talk about what if the United States of America was Iraq. That is why the title is "What If Factor One". It sounds like a interesting movie title. The Lord spoke to me to use that title with the word One, because there is going to be a Two. I do not know when I will post a two, but I feel there will sometime in the future be a What If Factor Two post, possibly on the same subject or a different subject.

Many people have a hard time, especially in the western hemisphere, with Arab insurgents, tribal secterians, and Jihadist/freedom fighters/terrorist, etc attacking and killing American and other coalition troops in Iraq. People ask, "why", "Why" are those evil people in Iraq fighting our soldiers? People look at these Arab groups as if these groups are completely wrong and out of their minds, while the Americans and other coalition force are righteous saviors.

Well, what if America was Iraq? What would American citizens do if Arab military forces from throughout the Middle East came to America? Lets say that the whole Arab world did not like the America's way of life, which many do not in real life. Then a massive Arab military force led by Iraqis decided they needed to fly into America by planes and sail in by warships and change the American way of life.

What if this large Arab military force, without asking any of you Americans, decided it would be in your best interest if you live like most Arabs? They as the Arab military have come into your homeland to rescue you from yourselves, because it is good for you to live like them. The Arab forces have decided to change the American way of living by force. Well if that happened, every American, with a gun and other things, will crawl out from under the woodwork fighting those foreign Arab invaders.

Americans will not wait for their own military or police to help. Lets also say, that the Arab forces would be so large that they overwhelmed the American military, national guard, police, and all other national security personnel. After all that, ordinary American citizens will fight, and there would be chaos and anarchy in the streets of America. Americans and many others in the western cultures will be thinking, "we did not invite all these Arab military forces over here". "What the hell are they doing"? "We did not ask for change". "Kill those bastards". "Yeah, get em"! There would be all sorts of cursings, swearings and bloodshed. Then American would see what it feels like to have foreigners come over and dictate by force to them. Then Americans will see why American troops are getting attacked and killed in Iraq.

So, who really are the bad guys, the invaders or the invaded? Who is really wrong here? Could it be that both are wrong? Who started it, or who "really" started it? How does it end? This is somethng to think about. At some point soon, there has to be an active approach, from all sides, to end all the chaos in Iraq; because one way or another, it will end saith the Lord.

Lessons Learned From Saddam Hussein

Hello World:
I want to talk about lessons that can be learned by world leaders from watching the late Saddam Hussein's Presidency. Before I do that, very quickly I want to point out that the U.S. has sent Secretary of State Rice to the Middle East, to have a peace summit between the Palestinians and the Jews over Israel.

I just want to say to the Palestinians, that you guys really need to accept whatever offer you are presented with. At this point, something is better than nothing. The idea is to stop the killing or bloodshed immediately, and everyone try to start living like they have some common sense without pointing fingers. You as Palestinians do not have to agree with everything, but whatever peace offering you are given you should take and you can build upon that. I have talked about this before somewhat, but I will more likely revisit this Palestinian-Jewish conflict again.

Now, world leaders, here are some lessons to learn from Saddam Hussein's presidency.
1. If you are a leader of any country, make sure you have a functional Air Force. You need a Air Force that can formidably hold your home skies, and can effectively fly and fight the enemy throughout your geographic region.

2. Land to air missiles against a enemy's Air Force is often limited and ineffecient.

3. If you as a leader talk big against fighting your enemy, have a really strong and tested military that will actually fight and kick the enemies' A-.../BUTT/BEHIND, if you know what I mean.

4. Do not let anyone come into or invade your "house" or
country/land without being ready to do some severely painful damage to them.

5. DO NOT play games with your people, pretending you are going to protect them and your country's infrastructure. If you truly can not fight an alien aggressor tell your people and prepare for concessions to save the lives of the people and property.

6. Have a strong and loyal military ally with your country, and do not be afraid or too arrogant to ask for help to save the lives of your people.

7. Have a heart for your people. Listen to and respect what your people want. Literally, ask your people what they want.

8. Do not be a selfish and proud leader in yourself, thinking everybody owes you and must kiss your feet; while at the same time, you will think about doing the people a favor in another lifetime, or when you feel like it.

9. Be confident in your abilities, but also have the power to back up your words.

10. Gather your evidence and legal defense documents "now" to present to the world in a dispute.

11. If you believe you are right, if necessary, do challenge your opposition to a worldwide televised debate.

12. Do not turn down a worldwide television debate.

13. If nearly all of your people of your country are wrong in their ideas about a policy or situation, which could very well happen, explain to them clearly why you have to do it differently. Explain to your country, without killing people unnecessarily, or putting people in a position to be killed. It is quite possible that many of your own people could be wrong in their thinking.

14. Do not be afraid or too proud to stand up and say you were wrong.

15. Know your enemy(s). Know who they are and what they do, or study your enemies carefully. Have several strategies of combat. Again, be ready to fight, and expect "anything" to come against your country at "anytime".

16. Defeat your enemies. Close them down, especially those who have the nerve to invade your land.

17. The "most important things of all" is to ask Yahweh/Jehovah-God to help you in everything, and ask God to give you wisdom to lead the people.
