Frog! You’re cooked.

The tax cuts Felonius I so eagerly pursues for the richest people in Turtle Island will never burn a hole in the pocket of a MAGA devotee.  A massive raid on the treasury is under way on the continent while the islands swelter under the blaze of a Chinese and non-indigenous economic rape.  By the time the bewitched hear the warning their goose will be cooked.  The last message the White supremacists  and the guardians of the neo colonials will hear is “Frog! You’re cooked”.

Taxploitation and little emancipation

How can it be that Caribbean leaders are only now trying to appear to end the systems that have exploited Africans from the moment they left the plantations?

Triumphalism and the abuse of faith

Putting the endless cycle of human life alongside faith and the invitation to ask God what(ever) we wish can lead to some debilitating outcomes.  It can  be demonstrated that God’s will includes human health and improvements to living standards but how does anyone explain the ravages of sickness and moral decay and the illusion of building victorious lives in temporal matters

Linking the certification of salvation with the certainty of rescue and relief is unproductive

  • Why is any Christian sick?  They’re human.  People are not sick because they’ve sinned.
  • How many sins constitute moral decay.  It seems that only some believers can keep sinning all their lives because “no one is perfect”.
  • Since it only takes the prayer of one righteous person to drastically change life conditions it would seem that God is not listening to the millions.

Certain abolition of the sacred

Light was not abolished when the sun set last evening.  Wickedness is not bliss because so many public figures embrace few virtues. Love was not extinguished when Christ’s beloved people crucified him.  The law was terminated when its mediator destroyed the sacred tablets and had to make the replacements.  Faith in God means saying “Amen” to what is on our plate until fear and dissatisfaction rises in our hearts.  If you have thought that getting answers to prayers that ask God to change our situation in life then perhaps eternal life is not dominant.  Perhaps there is no joy in the morning after.

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. (Romans 8:37, NASB)

We are conquerors⁷ or “conquerors to the nth degree” is not the same as “we conquer”.  You can be a writer but you are not always writing.  You can be a teacher who sometimes learns.  You can be a conqueror who does many other things.

The sentence in Greek is not a copula (an expression linked by the verbs BE or BECOME) as Psalm 82:6 is in Hebrew, where the people are God’s.  People=gods.  The next verse (7) tells us what they do.  There is actually no verb TO BE in the verse.  The Hebrew text simply puts GODS and YOU side by side; “gods you”, elohim attem.


6) I said, “You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High. 7) “Nevertheless you will die like men and fall like….

It is quite certain that we do not know the difference between a thing and an activity, the difference between being a conqueror and conquering.  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. (Romans 8:37, NASB).  What if our true victory in everything happening to us? It is obvious that fear, not love and faith motivates people who are eager to wear the badge of triumph over life’s essentials.

Y’all said nutn

When the orange threat rolled down the escalator with a racist and ignorant rant in tow the media and the elected representatives of the American people said nothing that was even disguised as a rebuke.  The phenomenon is widespread.  Religious people, entrepreneurs, experts in all fields are willing to look the other way while unmistakably atrocious behaviours become normalized.  God’s response when the floodgates open and scare us to death will be “Y’all said nothing”.

He who is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He hears the oath but tells nothing. (Proverbs 29:24, NASB)

It is quite certain that few would have thought that

  • Americans had genuinely repented of the rape of West Africa and the assassination of African leadsrs
  • Russians were philanthropists
  • Arab states might actually turn out to be champions of hospitality to strangers
  • The state of Israel and its military be credibly accessed of racism, genocide and running an apartheid state
  • Merchants could be effective managers of a house of prayer and places of worship

How long can it take to get the orange threat to tell one of his verifiable lies to the FBI? REALLY!

“When you see a thief, you are pleased with him, And you associate with adulterers. (Psalms 50:18, NASB)

I suppose there really are just a few individuals who might have predicted or expected elected officials to have neither spine nor skeleton. The persistent greed and grift in government will never face the music. It is a bit much to expect public and religious officers to do anything to erase poverty, disease and ignorance when they are firmly committed to saying nothing.

Patriots have a bad name

I am the kind of patriot who has several families and several parent relationships.  I am the patriot who will stand for my fellow citizens without regard to language, age, gender or ethnicity.   I covet the joy of people who have no country but can see one coming.  The modern patriot, like me, will renounce egotistical security, hostile nationalism, emotionally hollow flag waving and state worship.

Patriotism that patronizes the best human values

  • Philanthropic Patriot
  • Welcoming Immigrants and Newcomers
  • Denounce Civil War

Yup.  I am the patriot who recognizes the difference between myself and the community.  Patriotism based on personal affront and grievance is a catastrophic illusion.

The door to an abysmal day

The denial of brokenness is perennial

Netting mostly unreliable wisdom seems to occupy people who also repeatedly provide the evidence that they are immature and foolish.  The most detailed and accurate prophecy comes from a man whose book the Jewish people remove from the collection of the prophets’ writings.  Daniel was a broken man, not a vigilante, not of Israel’s priestly clan, and not a militant patriot.  He served the king of Babylon as Yahweh ordered.

Solomon has no followers, broken or whole

By Mosaic standards the third king of Israel was an abysmal failure, even an embarrassment to the ultra righteous Pharisees.  Still, the wisest of men has few detractors and, for a broken vessel, David’s son’s great works have no equal in the business that occupied his young mind.

Far be it from me to be what is decreed

  • Hungry needing bread
  • Sinful needing forgiveness
  • Hurt and offering forgiveness
  • Sick and need a physician
  • Putting righteousness first and not seeking all this life gives

Who might God have used to carry the Message of the Serpent’s Crushed Head If not broken people?  Does it seem negligible that the Israel who succeeded Jacob was profoundly deceived for about two decades of his life? 

Everyone is broken, practically all the time, yet the crowd insists on a victorious life marked by healing and miraculous reversals. What grace is outshone by law?  Is there a God who leaves sinners in charge of their rescue from the powers of darkness?  I suppose the victories of the proof, exorcists and wonder workers blind them to the brokenness of the saints who are most happy and witnesses to great things.  So what brokenness are people accepting these days when forgiveness is not a one-way street?

Evangelical media soiled and bewitched

The  critical mass of preaching in the United States seems to be the product of sleight of hand and cunning.  Sometimes I have wondered if they actually do have access to the same texts as their teachers and professors.  What is now clear is that they have looked the other way while their political leaders maliciously manipulate everything to benefit white people.  This is America’s innate treachery.  Innate because the founding fathers included racists who had the sense that all men were created equal.  The fact that some of them were virulent racists have given many Americans the green light to persist in discrimination against non-Caucasian people.  Evangelicals are so corrupt that they now brazenly oppose the spark of the Messianic Mission.

You cannot be Christ’s and oppose migration

The move Abraham undertook from Mesopotamia to Canaan provided the framework and platform for all the higher points in global development, the most critical being God’s relationship with Israelite and Judahite kings, a host of prophets, the judges of the early period in Canaan, the patriarchs, Judah, Joseph, Jacob, Isaac and Abraham.  The experiences of these luminaries seem like extinguishing lamp wicks when the acclaimed hero – the root and offspring of David – rises to brighten the drama. God’s praise in Jerusalem is recognition of salvation for all families on the planet.  Ditching migration a la MAGA cult is the incontinent’s bowel movement without a diaper

The darkness of Christian, Jewish and Islamic hate is out in the open

But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. (1 John 2:11)

Evangelicals are now in bed with Catholics.  Who does that beside the most desperate and undisciplined? They have lied  so often about Yeshua, about Moses, and they absolutely hate Mohammed, that breaking the spell they are under now appears next to impossible.  All the networks that are recognized as Christian are like Fox news, majoring in and trafficking in White racist, slave economy and quasi-spiritual spin.

MESSAGE TO THE INCONTINENTS

Don your diaper and change your diet.  Spin less, lest dizziness kills you

Keeping the great white north safe without justice

Church and State conspired to erase Aboriginal culture in Canada.  This is fact, not fiction, not spin, not rhetoric.  If you believe that the well-equipped police forces across Canada have no record of hundreds of missing children and women then you might need to have informed and courageous people on the city streets across Canada to keep you safe from the police and the hypocritical institutions of government and religion.  What is the price that people have to pay to be safe and exercise their charter rights?  I cannot wrap my mind around Canadian waffling at the United Nations on the massacre of Palestinians by Israel, and the repeated cracking down on and the demonizing of pro-Palestinian protest in Canada are sickening, no matter what noble sentiments come from the mildly incensed pundits and security experts.  A violent and racist Israel, the tyrannical Arab and Islamic states have nothing to tell Canadians about their commitment to the rights in the Canadian Charter.  All of you who want to live in a state where the state puts up walls between men and women, where the state rips up international law because it does not fit your tribal view of the world, are paving the way to untold misery and irreversible judgment.

Due diligence and “never again”

Massacres in Gaza and Lebanon will not erase the failure of Israeli security.  Seizing on the horrific murder and kidnapping of Israeli citizens by Hamas the Israeli government has launched a vicious annihilation campaign. The law demands a two-state solution but progress towards that is on and off like night and day.  For a people who have been face to face with God Israeli darkness is too thick to prevent accidents and negligence. Just think for a moment about the effect on an informed Christian who hears of an attempt to bring to nothing a sector of society seen as a mortal threat. To whom does “never again” apply?

GAFF and a host of bad actors

Grief, anger, fear and folly are common bedfellows.   Each is common on its own, and when they come together they bring humanity to the brink of the pit.  Keeping anyone safe involves transparent accountability for undertakings like security, retaliation and rebuilding.  Neither Israel nor the Hamas cowards who murder innocent people are capable of caring like mothers and fathers do.  Forgive me for thinking that politicians need to care for the people in their care like they are members of one family.  Canadians are not so naive as to bow down to complicity with Israeli lies about innocent lives.  The International Criminal Court knows that vigilante violence is a prominent tool in the Israeli policy of militarizing the Occupied Territories, and therefore the fear of endless war and discrimination that haunts Israeli and Palestinian families will not be pushed to the side.  Canadians should watch carefully the actions of their governments and make it abundantly clear that protest will never cease to be the means of shining a light on bad actors like – who came first? – Hamas, Arab and Islamic  hate for Israel.  The gaff Lord Balfour and the British government are guilty of forcing on the Levant is still a bad smell and none of the typical human solutions is capable of keeping Israelis and Palestinians safe.
