reflections upon “the Thin Blue Line” refraction

A Blue Light Special  thought  . . . police-the-blue-light-special-photo-635874443578281807-police-lights As we ponder, (amid demonically induced stresses of the morphing beast-like emerging global order), the societal reflections upon “the Thin Blue Line” refraction, let us de-escalate our emotional discharge purposefully, for the allocation of discernment to clarify the way of peace,  which is undoubtedly opposite to the order’s yellow-bricked deceptive road to destruction.
police-white-badge-with-blue-line-imagesUmmm…that said, let’s talk candidly about what some of us are shamefully doing…Recently, a popular discount store’s bakery staff refused to make a cake for a young woman who wanted to honor her dad with a simple cake decorated with “a thin blue line/stripe” across the cake to represent his profession as a policeman. The bakery staff didn’t feel comfortable making the cake because of the stigmatization of racism super-imposed upon the entire USA police force. Whaaat?! Some places of business are refusing to serve cops as customers and some civilians are boycotting stores, schools, etc. because of these establishments’ support of community police and sheriff departments–whaat?!

As if that wasn’t incredible enough, People are actually looting and burning their own cities or neighborhoods because of their need to express frustration against police brutality? Whaaat?!  Seriously?!! Why would citizens destroy what they need?!  Huh?!

Okay,  let’s consider this scenario….suppose we are safely at home, relaxing and unwinding from the stresses of our day and all of a sudden a mob of frustrated people decided to run randomly through our neighborhood kicking in the front doors of our homes, stealing items, destroying stuff, beating us, tearing our clothes from our bodies, while laughing or screaming.  Suppose we didn’t have any sort of weapon to seriously protect ourselves while also being dangerously outnumbered by the mob.  What would we instinctively think to do next? The majority of us would instinctively dial 911 and hope our neighbors were going to do the same thing, right??!!  Yet, some business employees are refusing to serve police as customers??!!  Whaaat?!!

Don’t get me wrong, I realize racism is a serious matter and can lead to horrible abuses of power and violence, however, are civilians really trying to label every single police officer a racist?? Really?! Are people becoming that cold-hearted and unreasonable?! Seriously?! Are Americans becoming that thoughtless and vicious??!! Many of the grieving family members of loved ones shot by the police have constantly called for non-violence and peaceful exchanges and expression between civilians and police officers, but to no avail.

Would any of us want to be lumped together with those who promote criminality and violence just because a large group of people stampede the streets and airwaves and demand to label our entire profession or culture as racist killers, when we know it’s not?? Are we guilty by association??!!

If this is justified, then what would prevent people from incorrectly labeling all areas of law enforcement as racist, such as “all attorneys”, all judges (no matter what the specialty is), how about all court clerks, all bailiffs, all court stenographers, how about all legislators, how about the court house employees and cleaning crews? Hey what about the 911 dispatchers, are all of them racists too? Oh, how about law professors at colleges and universities? What about all of the utility companies that supply their services (for a fee contract) to keep their precincts and court houses running, are they racist too? Should we then boycott all businesses, boycott our entire nation too, and our own family members if they are employed within these professions in some degree?? Sounds absurd, right??

Without proper consideration and careful thought concerning a matter, people can often times do more harm than good, although initially they may have had plausible intentions.

The danger here is the underbelly beast wanting to rear its ugly head–called “lawlessness”.

Could it be that the unsuspecting public doesn’t realize it’s being coaxed into a lawless “dark ages” type society, to usher in a global ideology of forceful submission for a “controlled enforcement of pseudo peace”??

Could it possibly be a “grand experiment” that through a force-fed disdain for righteous law, would then lead to anticipated lawless-chaos, to where a new world emerges enforcing a new order, that sadly might be unrecognizable to citizens of nation states, where the new peace and law is perhaps the banishment of all individual freedoms??

What else ensues where lawlessness abounds?? Chaos, then a dictatorship of Marshall Law.

We are living in very perilous times within this world’s morphing order…thinking thoroughly before we act, is crucially imperative. Any thoughtless emotional reaction that might lead to regret during these times, can bring about severities many of us have not considered.

Let’s consider the face value meaning of the word “protest”…
**the prefix “Pro” can also mean “being for” something…
**the root word “Test” can mean “trial” or “experiment”…
**thus the word “protest” means being “for a test or testing and also “being for experiment”

Therefore, participants in protest, at times can be considered by some levels of global governance as being a willing participant for an experiment!

Sometimes there are bad apples that can be found in a bunch, but if the bad apples are carefully removed in a timely manner, they can’t spoil the whole bunch.

Just because the bath water becomes dirty after washing your baby, it doesn’t mean you should dispose of the baby with the dirty bath water. So, we shouldn’t inconsiderately negatively brand all police officers as abusive racists.

sheriff-blue-line-badge-lapel-pin-6-point-sheriff-s-badge-lapel-pin-tie-tack-1_largeI support all police officers of good conscience of heart that protect and serve their communities with respect in the service of good laws. We should respect these officers, the men and women in blue. We should pray for the safety of cops and military serving who are members of our families, who are family friends, who are our neighbors and who lawfully serve our communities justly as a whole. A nation or state without good cops, good laws, and a honorable military is without accountability, and will be destroyed through lawlessness and externally by its foes.

We call 911 when we are in a life threatening situation…therefore, we should pray for the many good cops who put their lives on the line when they answer our distress calls. As for the minority number of cops who seek to engage in criminal activity against citizens, they should be exposed within the law, by citizens and/or fellow police officers who choose to even hold themselves accountable to the law.

Let’s not help to push the global agenda for “order of darkness out of chaos” because we are intelligent beings (mankind). Let’s not become a part of the grand lab experiment.

May YAH ELAH Our Heavenly Father continue to open our eyes and hearts to The Truth that we may continue to be blessed in His Light to walk within it…and be kept safe in YAHUSHAs Name. Peace.

Camouflaged “for” war….or….Camouflaged “by” war….is it still “war”?….Why do “boots” decide the answer?

….pondering this as another anniversary of a horrific terrorist attack approaches this month…..the Westgate Mall in Kenya, September 21, 2013..where 67-71 people were brutally murdered……

….I now ask the question contemplated by most Americans….”is the USA at war?…..the political heads of state keep saying…NO….so why does this very important question still seem to invade the american psyche?  Could the reason why their “NO” response is unacceptable to most americans and to some in the military be that it doesn’t agree with the natural perception of war?

I mean, to most people, war fulfills the test of the “senses” as it applies to its definition – war, a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state, its synonyms: conflict, warfare, combat, fighting, (military) action, bloodshed, struggle… [Merriam-Webster].  The senses are fulfilled with observation – through natural vision and captured imagery–sight,  auditory stimuli–hearing, cognitive mental processes–thinking/learning/understanding, and through experience–by encountering, touch, and being faced with the dark evil presence of war….So,

….after many of us have watched the most current live speeches from the President, Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, The Joint Chiefs of Staff – regarding their statements on ISIS/IS/ISIL, Al Qaeda, Syrian Rebels, Syrian Assad Government, Iran, Ukraine, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the heinous beheadings……and after we’ve re-visited the archived remarks made by Former Director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano (remember she resigned in the fall of 2013) in which she stated the ISIS threat was already well known and discussed within the U.S. counter-terrorism, Intelligence, Defense and Homeland Security apparatuses during her tenure, with briefings on this subject matter in closed door sessions with both the executive branch and the appropriate designated members of the legislative branch,…we say to ourselves….

….huh…really?…..and ummm…..just because there are smaller pockets of american troops strategically placed in and around these regions, while fighter jets and armed drones have been given the order to bomb particular ‘strike zones’ within Syria, just because troops are on the ground ‘under the guise of training’ rebel forces, while blatant lines in the sand are being drawn against Russia, and just because this doesn’t fit the usual Modus Operandi of both WWI and WW2….somehow gives the executive branch and some in congress, and some at the DOD the credibility to “claim it’s not war”?…..how deceptively bizarre is that?..so, again…

….yes, again….I ask……is the USA at war?….you betcha—WW3…..most would agree—it’s the new “face of war”, invoking new strategies….but the same old enemies–without the defined uniform, nor respect of “rules of engagement”–nor the “rule of law” of any nation, not even the laws of the global order’s United Nations–whose soldiers hail from a wide spectrum of world sectors and socioeconomic backgrounds…cleverly camouflaged “by” war amongst its potential target(s).…

….so technically if a particular nation’s troops and overt or covert special ops forces are ordered to forgo wearing the usual camouflaged uniform and ‘military issued combat boots “for” war during engagement….this allows for military operations to be viewed and accepted as “not engaging in warfare” because of the technicality that “boots must be on the ground” and in larger groups for it to be classified as an actual war?…….say whaaaat?!…..seriously?…..is this what they and the media are doing?…..seriously?…..Hmmmm, looking back through history, should we re-consider if the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was actually an act of war against the USA?……After all, they ONLY used fighter pilots and jets…..it was ONLY airstrikes right?…or at least predominantly right?….did they have Japanese combat boots on the ground?……Hmmm, somehow the USA considered it an act of war…..should we wonder why?

….Thus, it is war, isn’t it.

….pondering this……as I pray along with you in YAH and Our Redeemer for all who are suffering warfare and plagues here and around the world, while asking HIM to comfort and strengthen us in HIS TRUTH and LOVE that HE would grant us HIS GRACE to endure to the end of ages, to be saved,

2nd A L E R T !…continued…Webinar topics concerning FEMA Region II: affects of a Pandemic on “The GRID” and Staffing due to fears

Again, very important guys…no panic here…just serious awareness…

More information was presented and discussed amongst FEMA Region II (NY, NJ, P.R. US V.I.) utilities and communication technology department officials during the October 9, 2014 webinar. As mentioned in my previous post regarding Region II pandemic preparedness, once again, this information is not receiving proper in-depth coverage nor discussion by the mainstream media.  This October 9th webinar session can be considered a continuation of their previous webinar session, but with pertinent information concerning the aforementioned areas of expertise.

Most of us realize, the “convenience” induced dependence upon technology today, has the ability to wreak havoc upon ‘technocratic’ societies, especially after a major disaster (natural or  manmade), war, and yes, even a pandemic. Fear of leaving our safe environments during a pandemic, can be just as devastating to our nation’s infrastructure and technologically operated grid systems, as the destruction of it, if caused by war (or EMP sabotage).

Our first instinct is to protect ourselves and our loved ones from entities which have a high percentage risk of causing fatalities or casualties.  Although EBOLA currently has not been classified as ‘airborne’, and despite the fact “it seems” to behave as an ‘aerosolized’ virus, never-the-less, it is alarmingly life threatening. Dealing with such a deadly virus (plague), which has already mutated over 400 times and has spread very rapidly, can propagate increased levels of (warranted) anxiety, and thus, instigates our personal, naturally instinctive and protective isolation response. Understanding this fact, the agencies are presented with a potentially daunting task to attempt to keep the local states, their collective assigned regions, and the entire nation, functioning as a productive society.  All agencies within all government levels and related private sector counterparts, including those, but not limited to, those agencies responsible for maintaining energy sources and connectivity, which heavily affects societal functionality, everyday economic progression, public infrastructure, community medicine and security , must implement protocols to aid in maintaining productivity of life  and continuity of government, (while still meeting  each state’s citizens’ collective and personal needs).

That said, the actual bulk of the responsibility of preserving and respecting local, state. and government laws and citizen’s legal rights during a pandemic  falls upon the nation’s citizens themselves, and how we and our families respond.  Our High Priest and Messiah YAHusha said many times (as it is written in His Word of Truth)…”Do NOT Fear…see I have told you beforehand so that you do not fear.”  Instead of fearing, we need to finalize our household emergency preparedness plans, and show love toward those who may be suffering due to plagues, natural disaster, man-made disasters, and war.  To love, is the greatest right-ruling/commandment we were impressed to obtain from Our Heavenly Father and YAHusha…because LOVE casts out ALL fear.

These continuing  webinar subject discussions provide valuable information and insight into the intricacies of training and preparedness functions in which some of the information disclosed can be implemented as well within our personal daily lives.

The length of the October 9th, 2014 –  Fema Region II Pandemic Training Webinar II – Power, Communications and internet connectivity in a Pandemic Event is just under 2 hours in length.  Please set aside some time to listen to and view the slide presentations of this webinar.  As I mentioned before in my previous post, most civilians are unaware of how their local government and private sector authorities are training and preparing for a Pandemic Event.  I would venture out far enough to say, the training and preparation period is no longer able to be considered a “prepare for (future) event”, but instead it is now unmistakably an “active live event”, where training and preparation must be immediately applied as this serious EBOLA Pandemic event remains fluid and expands. (See link below to access the webinar)

Many parents realize when one of their children or themselves contracts seasonal influenza, they must practice exceptional hygiene and low level quarantine practices at home in order to prevent their germs from spreading to their loved ones at home. These low level isolation practices would be to sit a a couple of feet away from loved ones, to cover the mouth and nose when sneezing and/or coughing–with a disposable facial tissue or inner bend of your arm, to wash your hands often, to sleep in another room in the home, to wash germ filled linens and clothing separately from the family combined laundry, to wipe away germs on faucets–door knobs–light switches–remote controls–refrigerator doors, cabinet knobs, etc using clorox or lysol wipes–or rubbing alcohol with disposable paper towels–and spray a reasonable misting of medically approved lysol spray in the air to keep germs down in your home , to avoid eating from the same spoon or fork, plate or bowl, and to avoid drinking from the same cups or receptacles until your loved one is no longer contagious and has regained complete health.  These practices have most often  helped to stave off the spreading of seasonal influenza for years, and have been proven to be very affective…….

However,….. EBOLA is NOT influenza and is far more deadly with a fatality rate of between 20 to 90%, with no respect of persons in regards to immunity, age, gender, race, economic status, nor culture. This is a seriously dangerous killer virus, and should be handled as such, with complete caution and awareness, allowing no room for error if at all possible.  Since this should now be an obvious fact, many of us can’t help but have some serious unanswered questions remaining…..for example:

1. Why has the CDC along with some state HHS directors stated all hospitals around the nation are fully prepared for EBOLA and/or a Pandemic, when the recent contractions of the deadly virus and the disjointed medical protocol response to it has been confusingly lacking to say the least?

2. Wouldn’t it be deemed misleading to say ALL hospitals in the US have the proper protocol and training, when most of us who have worked within the medical community for any number of years, realizes there are specific hospitals which were built for and thus known for their specialties and expertise in a particular focus/area of medicine? …such as facilities like EMORY University Hospital which specializes in the field of Infectious Disease and has a Biocontainment Unit?

3. The CDC and the US federal government has been discussing for a very long time the serious need to have at least one Infections Disease Bio-containment Unit and specialized hospital in each state, and mentioned this need due to their foreknowledge of a potential EBOLA outbreak which at some point could possibly spread to the USA.  As of today, the USA only has 4, level four, hospitals which can receive and properly treat EBOLA patients and provide proper protection suits for their medical staff.  These four hospitals, Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, and St Patricks Hospital, Missoula, although considered level 4 facilities, have very few beds to accommodate any sizeable EBOLA outbreak…..the total number of beds between all four hospitals is said to be less than 25 beds total.  Why is that??

4. Why is it most of the public isn’t being told, only level 4 hospitals are most likely to receive actual level 4 credentials to request actual level 4 protection suits, supplies, and apparatus’ when needed because of the allotted funding for these level 4 facilities, but a lower level facility, not known for specializing in infectious disease will thus be provided lower level protection suits, protocol and treatment training and practices?

5.  Why does it seem as though the CDC and some HHS state directors are passing the buck around in an attempt to deflect responsibility for serious protocol failures, rather than receiving the buck and correcting these grave errors?….The missing and seemingly forgotten letter….”P”….from the….“and Prevention”…. portion of the acronym CDC for the Centers for Disease Control (and Prevention)….seems to purposely lend itself to forgetting the…”and Prevention” portion of this important centers’ function…..to  not only seek to “control diseases”, but also to prevent disease.

6.  That said, why hasn’t the CDC, HHS, Congress, and the POTUS grinded down their differences and unanimously agreed to appoint someone to the crucial position of US Surgeon General along with the approval for  emergency appropriations, so this individual and their staff can take the helm and promptly organize the US alphabet soup of related acronym agencies toward doing the job of maintaining public wellness/health, control and isolate the contagion, and preventing further spread?

7.  Are american civilians overacting if they pose these questions to the medical officials? Or, are the medical officials “overwhelmingly under-reacting” and thus has the Executive Branch doing so as well?  Are there any mainstream media journalist who would dare to get these questions answered directly and thoroughly, without showing bias nor fear?  Hmmm?

Those who are in FEMA Region II (NY, NJ, P.R., US V.I.), who choose to listen to these Pandemic Preparedness and Training webinars conducted by their state and regional officials will at least know what their officials have actually done and are currently doing regarding EBOLA and any other potentially deadly Pandemic, and they can prepare themselves as civilian individuals and their families accordingly.

Let’s continue to pray for one another for YAH/GOD’s guidance and protection, while we continue to share pertinent information with one another, to keep each other aware during these increasingly tumultuous times now and ahead.  His Peace be unto you and your loved ones.

When all else fails….Aha-YAH/God’s WORD and the covering of HIS SON YAHusha never will!

….Perception….short-sided?….Kaleidoscopic?….or True? Dimes worth of thought….

Roosevelt-Dimes-Reverse DIME image for blog post - Perception image 1of 2 10-5-14     ….my dimes worth of thought to those who deem themselves “intellectuals”…specifically to those amongst intellectuals who consider themselves…thinkers….outside the box (prison of their minds)….

…..the intellectuals at the helm are now agreeing that the earth is no longer round and with depth of dimension….but instead is indeed “flat” as they claim was the first inclination of their explorer “Christopher Columbus”…..

…..well to a more natural, and less indoctrinated mind….that is lunacy, a return to ones vomit, sort of speak…..as the mind of a child would find this laughable…..

……and to make matters more incredible, some “intellectuals” who once pushed the ideology of “think outside the box” are now saying the more intelligent path is to “get back into the box” and “think inside the box”…..whaaat…..a return to ones vomit again?…….

….so why is it some of the elite intellectuals of the world system desire to return to their vomit….to return to the prison of their minds–which are actually heavily indoctrinated minds….to scurry like a rat back into “the box” they thought they had forced much of “mankind” into???

…..historical record often proves the self-indulgence of worldly elite intellectuals of the ages, have often been made to “eat the very words they previously vomited out”…..thus their never-ending plight to rebuild their tower of babel…..thinking (in futility) they can murder “the Maker of the Universe”, and reach the heights of HIM, and cause themselves to be the ruling gods over the survivors of mankind…..to make mankind become crop-sharers and plow sharers once again…..but within a populace with a more controllable number…..you know, to beat their weaponry/swords into farming/crop equipment………..ummm but they pride themselves as intelligent thinkers….or is it the “INTEL inside” of their super computers and calculations, they designed, they put their trust in…as unto a god….who they feel now can calculate and predict faster than their collective human mind….

….ummmmm……well one of the most respected and recognizable forefathers of the earth “Abraham/Avraham/Ibrahim” watched his dad and others fashion statues with their own hands and the thoughts of their own minds and then prop them up to be sold to anyone who wanted to buy a god to worship….and the idol designers themselves would then bow down and worship what they–themselves–made with their own hands……Abraham proved to his dad, these fashioned idols he called gods were nothing…..did not see, did not hear, did not speak, did not feel, and are lifeless, thus are NOT the one who created Heaven and Earth and all that is within it……so why are some intellectuals in their fields still designing and making things with their hands, and then bowing down to these things as their gods……….a return to their own vomit…….should one behave as a dog?…….

…here’s my final portion of my dimes worth on this…….  kaleidoscope_glasses18 The Complex Layers Series image for Blog - Perception image 2 of 2 10-5-14

….life is all about perception….

…..if ones perception is short, then ones life is what it is….short-sighted and shortened,

…..if ones perception is as a kaleidoscope……then this one is lost in the chaotic beauty of it….blinded by the many beautiful obscuring colors which perform their duty of confusion “before” the “light”…..alluring chaos…chaos = deception, disorder, destruction.

….. if ones perception is lucid….then the TRUE and PURE LIGHT of the REVELATOR of LIFE has scattered the darkness of the hues of gray and black, has melted away the seemingly beautiful alluring color prism (prison) of the Kaleidoscope and made all visible and known to the perceiver…who desired to see the PURE LIGHT instead of what was dancing in the foreground which came “before”….(what came and/or comes “before and instead of”  = the anti-messiah!   The True Pure Light/The Revelator of Life = True Messiah who gave the Revelation to John/Yochanan, who comes “after” the wicked leader’s time is up!)

……don’t worship the created, nor the designed, don’t repeat the historical mistakes and failings of the past, don’t return to the vomit…..

….think-tanks you say?…hmmmm….what about the old saying of the past, “…you can’t reason with him, nor tell him anything, his mind is like a tank” (or steel trap)…..a tank full of soldiers can only offer protection for as long as the opponent who has similar thought processes and strategies, out maneuvers them (to their misfortune), thus is “the nature of the beast” of war……

…..Truth resides in YAH and HIS SON,….it is being proven even now in this volatile world right now…..HIS perception is for Everlasting….those who didn’t want HIS One and True Perception, have depended on their own, along with others of like-minds….how’s that working out for ya?

…..Life without YAH in the ruling elite of this beast system, is to have a life without love, moral righteous code, respect of and for life, a life without rules and regulations to preserve life……and offers all evil to be allowed without consequence…huh, without consequence? The consequence is sure death, with no redemption from sin, and thus, no chance at all for everlasting life, without evil’s existence…….

Okay, sure, I guess someone could call all of this my opinion, but those in the know would say it is TRUTH…..Yup…..life is all about perception…..let’s get YAH’s!

Stay safe guys, and stay aware, and don’t wait for officials to tell you when danger is coming, and how you should respond….because in the waiting we might just put our lives in jeopardy……let’s plan now….the best plans are made in YAH.

With much love in HIM, watching, praying, sharing and doing along with you guys, in HIM,
