The characterization of people who have different opinions as vermin is not so strange if people have been listening to most religious beliefs. Are we to believe that the three religions that claim to have Abraham as primary ancestor are brimming with hospitality for migrants, are ready to forgive anyone who asks, and have the courage to insist on justice for everyone? The vile things being uttered by the orangestan threat to the American experiment are very likely the things that have been said in the opaque rooms of evangelical homes, churches and colleges and more.

Deep peeking
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
Instead of sleeping I would and dream of 90 cm coconut trees, nibble edible cannabis buds “from the vine”, swim in purple oceans, and visit my myriad children across the galaxies; assuming of course that everyone else was in that sleepless (and work-free!) utopia and were fascinated by the promises to Abraham (he of Ur, Canaan and Egypt).
Musicians, girlfriends and religious bigots
Who are your current most favorite people?
If you thought I’d tell you why musicians, girlfriends and religious bigots are my most favorite people, you are mistaken. I only want to continue my list of favorite people with guitar makers, doctors, grocers, bus drivers, pharmacists, farmers, fishermen, candy makers and airline pilots.
Christians are not in the Zionist pocket
Mr. Netanyahu and his armed comrades may never realize that having the United States in their pocket is not as easy as having evangelicals do tours in the Holy Land or having the United States president put out a blurb about Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, or naming a doomed accord with Arab states after the revered father of the Hebrew people. The government of Israel does not even have the committed followers of Moses in their pocket and never will, because they are too proud of the remains of their failed Levitical system to see the truth written all over their Scriptures. Even though many Christians are increasingly duped into syncretizing Messiah and Moses it is quite obvious, from the poster boys in the UK, the US and Canada, an evangelical in one’s pocket is not worth a half-penny.
When the past is whitewashed everything washes out
The sooner they realize that most Americans are neither evangelical nor Christian the sooner they can lock onto peaceful coexistence with all their neighbours. Israel is an embarrassment, has been from the day the descendants of Abraham departed Egypt, and no amount of spin, hype or violent repression can keep the truth out of the spotlight. Both Israel and the United States are intent on denying the prostitute in their DNA. Books are being banned in Florida, and the Republicans, with rare exceptions, the American equivalent Hezbollah, don’t know whether they are coming or going. The legislative agenda comes straight out of the playbook of Ahab and Jezebel. They simply do the most outrageous things that come to mind, and think that by shocking the population, they can become the new heroes in the second attempt at Revolution in North America.
Genuine revolution begins with a man named Yeshua
The evidence of the success of the United States and the United Kingdom, though short-circuited by greedy and tyrannical persons, is the number of people who flock to live in these two countries is due to a small but determined cadre of citizens who will never yield the flag of human liberty. Freedom is not a tenet in Islamic states or in Israel. Foreigners who work in those countries have tales of sheer misery and abuse. There are even Christians who would rather prove that God wants people enslaved and subject to the whims of ancestral rulers. Liberty is just a word to some people. Ignoring the fact that his contemporaries were lying through their teeth, asserting that the Hebrew people had never been in bondage to anyone, the Lord Yeshua reminded them of the source of genuine liberty. Subjection to hundreds of ready-to-perish ordinances is not freedom.
36) So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 37) I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38) I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.
John 8:36-38, NASB
Pilgrimages to sacred cities and sites are a cheap thrill. Until the Zionist pocket is ready to admit that Zion is not Jerusalem and Zion is a cosmopolitan citadel of the great king, Davidide and divine, the pocket will be inadequate housing for anyone.
The Zionist nightmare exits
The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwelling places of Jacob. (Psalms 87:2, NASB) Her registry includes the following nationalities, and despite all the huffing and puffing the Holy City’s residents cannot be exclusively Jewish.
- Rahab
- Babylon
- Philistia
- Tyre
- Ethiopia
Gets messy
Sweet love making may never appear to be even remotely associated with terrifying pain, months of discomfort and disability and regret, but it often is. Citizens seem at home with political charlatans begging for money to fund the services of which governments are the only legal providers. Most recently we are hearing a lot of talk about balanced budgets, and other levels of government – for example the federal government – not putting enough funds forward to assist regional budgets, as if budgets are not supposed to be a statement of spending based upon what one has or what one can project to have. Democracy like marriages and even friendships can get messy, so let’s wake up and smell the tea and stop sipping the deadly Kool-Aid of partisan politics and perfect privileged lives.
Since when is credit a violation of human dignity
Balanced budgets and normalizing violence against migrants, women and children are part of the same master plan as the right to bear arms, freedom of expression, reservations and residential schools. Are fiscally conservative politicians and their allies buying homes and cars with their debit cards? Have they forgotten that the government-issued coins and bills can be worth nothing overnight? Even the gold, silver, platinum and lithium can plunge to zero value in a trice. With panhandling from the federal government becoming the latest scam let’s get ready to be taxed into slavery. Democracy is messy, governance, but neither needs to turn into insurrection and totalitarian tyranny.
I trust my instincts to the nth degree
Do you trust your instincts?
Both the humble and the proud know that trust can be misplaced and fulfilled. My nth degree is the territory of my limited humanity
Unrestrained wickedness! Abraham averts his eyes
The corruption and shamelessness of leaders in the Middle East are about to be placarded across the globe. Think of how many people were aware of the thefts and innocent killings in Jerusalem during the days of the Davidide Kings, when God became so incensed at the violation of the basic benchmarks of humanity – love justice, love mercy and walk humbly – that he decided to empty the land of Canaan of Abraham’s descendants; then think of how many people will be aware of what is happening today November 2023 in that same land. Of course it’s unprecedented and unique, because the powers that seem to be able to ensure the victory of either side of the conflict has a basic tenet, namely, no negotiation with terrorists, are supporting a deal with an entity practically everyone on the planet has to regard as inhumane and capable of utter depravity.
“He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8, NASB)
The right to be right even when convicted by the authorized entities
“Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me by making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and my men being few in number, they will gather together against me and attack me and I will be destroyed, I and my household.”” (Genesis 34:30, NASB)
I suppose there is no shame involved when the guardians of democracy and justice are negotiating with the country that openly houses the leadership of Hamas. I suppose too that Palestinian lives only have value when hostage-taking is involved. Israel-Jacob is incensed and Abraham, everybody’s pop, cannot look!
No part!
What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?
I do not persistently try to skip parts of my routine. If I did, it would not be done. None of my fellow activists, none of my sisters or brothers in faith can do what is on my agenda. Every part of my routine is part of a whole. Even those things that get onto my routine that are not my responsibility get a fair shot.
Life is Fun, But Not a Joke
