A Light is on in the Manger

As I turned down the streets of my neighborhood, the cold air caught my breath and reminded me to consciously breathe in the frosty air and be grateful that I was alive. As the gently falling snow cooled my burning cheeks, I thought about how Christmas always brought out the best in me, those feelings of charity, the thankfulness that I had good friends and family, the infinite blessings that accompanied the birth of Jesus Christ.

As I walked, I did not miss a single Christmas wreath hung on a front door, an inflated Snowman waving in the soft breeze or a window whimsically stenciled with snowflakes and stockings. Sometimes, if I walked the same path in the early evening, I might even be able to catch a glimpse through a lamplit window of a family playfully trimming their Christmas tree. Everyday during the Christmas season I took the same route that led me to the village church a few miles away, its steeple always in view, virtuously presiding high over our small country town.  My walk was a ritual that was always filled with eager anticipation and emotional yearning. As I rounded the last corner of my journey, there it faithfully stood, a bright white church that gleamed against the crisp winter sky, its bell tower partially camouflaged against the snowy white clouds. As I approached the familiar front path, I paused to take in the magnitude of the precious panorama before me; it always made me gasp. There taking up the entire front lawn of the church was a Nativity scene so grand and realistically detailed that when I squinted my eyes, it would seem to come alive. When staring at the empty creche, I always felt relieved to know that after the midnight service on Christmas eve, baby Jesus would ceremoniously, once again, be placed into the waiting cradle and assume center stage.

I contemplated my own Christmas this year, empty of finances but rich with an over abundance of Gods good tidings and knew that there was not a gift in the world as precious as God’s presence in my life. Although it was disappointing to not be able to purchase presents for the family, I knew that the day would not be void of laughter and good cheer. Just a few ingredients in my scantily stocked pantry would yield grand results and turn my small home into a make-believe gingerbread world, full of gingerbread men chasing after dancing ballerina’s and running reindeer. The air would become intoxicating, each whiff of cinnamon and ginger offering the alluring comfort and anticipation of yet another Christmas filled with the aroma of pungent spices and flickering candlelight. Old puzzles, well worn games and books full of tales of old Saint Nicholas would be displayed on the oak sideboard, begging for family fun.

On this particular day, as the sky turned a brilliant pink and yellow at sunset, I made my familiar trek to once again feed my Christmas soul. The church was bathed in a deep amber hue that made it glow like a golden music box and when standing perfectly still, seemed to be chiming “Away In the Manger” to my longing ears. Thoughts of Christmas’s past with my four siblings began to surface, an unexpected nostalgic treat that seemed to offer me some well timed joy year after each year. It was a treasure trove of sweet memories; a mother and father who unselfishly doted on their family and made each Christmas special, even when times were tight. Homemade doll houses, trains, and knitted sweaters with snowflake motifs adorned the bottom of our tree, and as busy fingers tore open the brightly colored packages, bows flying in the air,  smiling faces and laughter outshone the silvery sparkling of the heavily tinseled tree. As the last gift was opened, the small wooden Nativity set that had been carefully tucked underneath the tree, once again became prominent, a reminder that the birth of Christ was the most lasting and valuable gift of them all! The true happiness of the day was entirely due to his unfailing grace, mercy and omnipresent blessings.

As my eyes once again scanned the life-sized Nativity in front of me, my worries for America and the unsettling attack on Christianity diminished as the star at the top of   the manger suddenly became brightly lit in the now darkened night. I knew that the light of Christ could never be extinguished by anyone, no matter how intrusive, unless I allowed that to happen. “Away in the Manger” still infused my senses and as I slowly walked away, I began to softly hum its tender words; “I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky and stay by my side ‘til morning is nigh.”

 

Merry Christmas to all…and remember to always keep the light of Christ, shining bright.

 

 

 

 

The Naughty List Just Keeps on Growing….

Screen Shot 2013-11-27 at 9.07.29 AM

 

There are many government officials going on the naughty list this year. It is one thing to be a far left, country destroying progressive, but quite another to be an out and out liar. Washington D.C. now leads the nation for Santa’s “most naughty people in one place on the planet” and our nation’s capitol is now his least favorite stop on Christmas eve. The only saving grace is that the National Mall is a great grazing ground for Rudolph and the reindeer to rest and defecate because the air in D.C. is so “ripe” that no one seems to take much notice of their much needed bathroom break.

This year, Santa’s manager at the North Pole has taken an inventory of all the toys needed for this years sleigh ride and noticed there were a few aberrations in the 2013 line up. A disgruntled rogue elf decided to add to Santa’s sack a politically correct baby doll created by Fisher- Price, called the “Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo” doll whose baby gibberish includes “Islam is the Light.” Santa is not happy, so he has ordered all those dolls to be shipped “special delivery” to Gitmo where the terrorists there can feel the love and “cuddle and coo” along with the Muslim baby dolls. The “Politically Correct Holiday Stories for an Enlightened Yuletide Season” have also been scrapped. Santa cannot figure out how Christmas can ever have Christ taken out of it for the sake of political correctness! In addition, the “Non-Violent, Politically Correct War Card Game” has also been removed from Santa’s inventory.  Santa in his wisdom knows that war can never be non-violent, therefore, he believes this game to be too deceiving for little children.

On the other hand, there are some toys that are perpetual hits and will remain on Santa’s popular toy list for a few more seasons. One of the most popular is the Hillary “nutcracker” a very colorful rendition of a pants wearing Hillary who enjoys cracking nuts between her legs, and the Bill Clinton 1998 “Fondle Me Bubba Talking Stuffed Doll.” Newer items that Santa feels will be added to his  “Most Popular Gifts”  this year will be the “Farting Pootin’ Tootin’ President Obama Doll, which when pulling his finger, lets out a “toot” while insulting his Republican adversaries. Also deemed to become popular is the Obama punching bag and, brand new from Santa’s own creative work shop, a jumbo sized umbrella imprinted with two stately Marines in full dress. Santa wants the general populace who watched our Commander-in-chief order two Marines to hold umbrella’s over him to shield him from misty conditions, to also be protected from big bad rain drops by a couple of stately Marines. Finally, U.S. flag t-shirts, even though banned from most public schools in America, are enjoying a resurgence as the hot new collectible from a bygone era when children could freely wear and show off their patriotic pride while saying the Pledge of Allegiance before beginning classes.

To add to Santa’s worries this year, Santa was especially dismayed to find out that East Point Academy elementary school in Cayce, South Carolina has been forced to cancel their charitable “Operation Christmas Child.” Under the program, students collect toys, pencils and other small items, pack them into shoe boxes and donate them to needy children. This project was stopped by the “American Humanist Association” whose principles include the separation of church and state and they point to the fact that the charity is part of “Samaritan’s Purse” an international Christian based organization led by Franklin Graham, son of Evangelist, Billy Graham. Although the school’s principle, Renee Mathews says that “There’s no religious literature tied with it, no speakers who come, not religious affiliation at all” the outside group has claimed victory in stopping the generous project. Santa is annoyed that the children who attend that school will get the wrong impression that Christ has no place in their charitable giving, even though their charitable acts are based on God’s principles and his Ten Commandments!

Meanwhile, over in Europe, Santa has another set of growing problems. German cities have adopted a ban on the use of Christian symbols in the public celebration of Christmas. In Berlin’s Kreuzberg, Christmas is only allowed in the home, so that the religious feelings of others are not injured. A Christmas tree may only be set up in a central location, allocated by the authorities in advance. Berlin’s traditional Christmas market this year only received approval after the event was renamed “Winterfest.” Santa feels that if it were a well intended, truly multicultural agenda, then all faith’s would be permitted to celebrate their religious holiday’s, with a priority given to the country’s predominant Judeo-Christian culture! “Bah Humbug in Berlin!” declares Santa!

Meanwhile, back in the States, homeowners in an Orange County, California neighborhood have been ordered to remove their outdoor Christmas lights because the decorations are an obstruction and violate county code ordinances. For the past five years neighbors have gone all-out for Christmas and their display draws visitors from across the entire region. Santa plans on giving the resident’s there an extra dose of Yuletide spirit to fight the County Grinch’s who are responsible for this colossal Christmas faux pas.

Fortunately for Santa, he recently received word that “The Tennessee Valley Authority” (TVA) will be closing eight, coal-fired power plants, one of the country’s five biggest users of coal for electricity, generating 3,300 megawatts of electricity. The plants set for closure include 6 in Alabama and 2 in Kentucky. The EPA, led by the Sierra Club was at the forefront of the battle to get these plants closed and means tons of readily available, excess coal for naughty stockings, which is obviously much needed this year. It is kind of bittersweet, however, because many workers will be laid off as a result of the plant closures and Santa will have to work that much harder to bring toys to the needy children in that area for Christmas.

Yes, the naughty list keeps expanding as bureaucrats continue to lie, cheat and steal,  causing the number of impoverished family’s to steadily rise and increasing Santa’s work load exponentially. As Santa prepares for his lengthy trip, he asks that some stops along the way replace that customary glass of milk, with a bourbon Manhattan on the rocks with a shiny red cherry on top. Santa says he will need it this year.

 

Barry, a Leader of Dope, Not Hope.

When Vladimir Putin was appointed Prime Minister of Russia, very little was known about his background. Putin (Poo-teen) was born in October, 1952 to an ordinary family; his mother Maria Shelomova a kind, benevolent person and his father a foreman. Putin was an only child and grew up in a communal apartment with two other families. Religion was not permitted in the Soviet Union, however, his mother had him secretly baptized as an Eastern Orthodox Christian and he remains a practicing member of the church today. Putin would like to reestablish a pre-Soviet combination of church and state, saying: “First and foremost we should be governed by common sense. But common sense should be based on moral principles first and it is not possible today to have morality separated from religious values.” Further more, Putin has proposed compulsory religion and ethics classes for Russian students.

He attended a prestigious high school, School 281, which only accepted students with near-perfect grades. Fascinated with spy movies as a teen, he aspired to become a KGB agent. In the sixth grade Putin joined the Young Pioneers Organization and almost immediately became the head of a Pioneer detachment in his class. A Young Pioneer was a young communism builder who labored for the Motherland and prepared to become its defender. The Pioneers was disbanded as an organization in 1990, but its spirit and songs live on, prepared to fight for the Communist Party!

Putin is a small, (5’ 7”) and slim man who by the age of 16 was a top-ranked expert at Sambo, a Russian combination of judo and wrestling and his fists are considered to be “deadly weapons.” The Russian martial art of Sambo was developed in the 1920’s to improve the hand-to -hand combat skills of the Red Army. Since the age of 11 Putin also practiced judo and later earned his Master of Sports in judo. Putin writes on his website, “Judo teaches self-control, the ability to feel the moment, to see the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, to strive for the best results, “

When tall Barack Hussein Obama (6’ 2”) was elected president of the United States, very little was known about his background. Barry (known by his father and grandparents as Bare-ick.) was born in August, 1961 (birth certificate yet to be legally determined) to an atheist mother and Muslim father. His mother left his father, his father left the family, the mother and son left Hawaii for Indonesia, the son left Indonesia for Hawaii, the son was left in Hawaii with his Grandparents, mother and father rejoined him in Hawaii and left him again in Hawaii for Indonesia and Kenya.

Once settled in Hawaii, Barry lived with his grandparents and attended the prestigious Punahou school in Honolulu, Hawaii until graduation. According to Pulitzer Prize winning author David Maraniss, who wrote the biography “Barack Obama, The Story” a self-selected group of boys at the school loved basketball and good times and called themselves the Choom Gang. Choom is a verb, meaning “to smoke marijuana.” As a member of the Choom Gang, Barry was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends. The first was called “TA” short for “total absorption.” If you exhaled instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs, you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around. Along with TA Barry popularized the concept of “roof hits”; when chooming in a car all the windows had to be rolled up so that no smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling. Barry was a great leader in the dope crowd.

In Barry’s yearbook, student’s were given a block of space to express thanks and define their high school experience. Barry’s display included one photograph of him playing basketball, shirtless, with the caption “We go play hoop,” and another that showed him in a white disco suit with a colorful shirt and below was his line of gratitude. “Thanks Tut, Gramps, Choom Gang and Ray for all the good times.” Ray was the long-haired homosexual hippie who hung around the Choom Gang, selling the group pot.

A former classmate of Barry’s, Mia Marie Pope recently revealed that Obama identified himself as a foreigner and a crack-smoking homosexual. He was “always getting with these older white men.” She recognized that Barry was the one that had crack cocaine, which she said was “newsworthy” in the groups she hung out in. They then began to believe it was Barry’s engagements (homosexual acts) with these older white men that helped him procure the expensive crack.

Both Putin and Obama are committed communists infatuated with power, however Putin was brought up in the Russian culture, works for “the good” of his homeland and is determined to make his country preeminent on the world stage. Unlike the USA, his government does not allow birthright citizenship, meaning the majority of immigrants and their children (if any) are going back to their home country once their stay is over. Considering the recent violence and rioting in Moscow against illegal immigration, it is unlikely that the Russian government will allow Muslim immigrants in large number to enter Russia. On the other hand, distracted Obama has let America slip to 10th position on the 2013 Index of Economic Freedom, was brought up in an international Muslim communist culture, has never felt at home with the American culture, is attempting to purge Christianity, is pushing for citizenship for  illegal aliens, and during Ramadan in August hosted an Iftar dinner, and praised Muslim immigrants for helping build the nation.

This past October, Vladimir Putin usurped President Obama as the Forbes’ Most Powerful Person in the World for 2013, based on the shift in power towards Putin on the world stage. Putin outsmarted Obama in Syria and has now moved on to Egypt where he will visit later this month. According to U.S. officials, Putin will visit Cairo where he is expected to announce a major arms sales package as part of an effort to build closer military relations. News reports from the Egyptian capitol say that Russia will resume arms sales, including advanced weaponry, following a cutoff of U.S. arms last month. It will be the first time since the 1970’s that Moscow will regain the foothold it lost in its close ties to Egypt when Egyptian President Anwar al Sadat expelled Soviet military advisor’s and ended purchases of Russian arms. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas G. McInerney said the administrations failure to back the Egyptian military is undermining 60 years of diplomacy that made Egypt a lynchpin of the Arab-Israeli Peace Treaty.

Meanwhile, back at home, the Obama oligarchy continues to play the “Marxist Game of Life” with all roads leading to the end of American sovereignty in order to institute a New World Order, while Democratic strategist James Carville jokes about Obama’s declining poll numbers and tells him to take “a toke on the mayor of Toronto’s crack pipe.” Carville was referring to the fact that Toronto mayor Rob Ford currently has a higher approval rating than Obama, his poll numbers gaining 5 points after Rob admitted he smoked crack cocaine.

Napoleon Bonaparte once said. “ A leader is a dealer in hope.” Unfortunately, America voted in a former leader of dope, twice, who is not capable of hope. The greatest lie of them all.

The Hypocrisy of Liberal Do-Gooders!

Screen Shot 2013-11-05 at 9.35.33 PM

 

The great divide between the wealthy and poor in America continues to widen as the rich get richer, the middle class vanishes and the poor become destitute. New York City and Washington D.C. are the financial and political faces of a two-faced government that uses the guise of philanthropy and humanitarianism to augment its power and the fortunes of the upper crust, fascist, venture corporatists.The top 10 percent of Americans took more than half of the country’s total income in 2012, the highest level recorded since the government began collecting the relevant data a century ago, according to an updated study by the prominent economists Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty. The top 1 percent took more than one-fifth of the income earned by Americans, one of the highest levels on record since 1913, when the government instituted an income tax.

As more and more lives are being destroyed by Saul Alinsky ideology and Neo-Leninism, more and more meaningless awards are being given to ultra wealthy charlatan philanthropists who seem to bask in the “perceived” verification of their public “goodness,” while they continue to rape America and its helpless citizens. “Conscience laundering” award ceremonies continue to flourish while these billionaires donate millions to each others global causes that help support a New World Order, where power and financial profiteering are infinite. As Leo Tolstoy wisely stated, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” We are inundated with leaders of “good will” who profess to make everyones lives better, while in actuality, their own fortunes continue to elevate to new heights while the average American’s standard of living continues to decline. Even Jay Gatsby would be impressed by this new age of “Gilded Gouger Globalists”

New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, 13th on the U.S. billionaires list of 2013 will be the inaugural recipient of a new Genesis Prize Foundation award organizers are calling the “Jewish Noble Prize.” The Genesis Philanthropy Group (GPG) established the prize with the stated aim of “recognizing exceptional human beings who, through their outstanding achievement come to represent a fundamental value of the Jewish people, a commitment to the betterment of mankind.” The charity was founded by Russian Jewish billionaires who donated $100 million to pay for the prize for years to come.

Why Bloomberg? As Bandit Bloomberg gets ready for the end of his rein, the Coalition for the Homeless, a leading advocate for the homeless in New York City, states that during Bloomberg’s twelve years as mayor, the number of homeless families went up seventy-three percent and one child out of every hundred children in the city is homeless. Manhattan is now America’s most expensive urban area to live in and Brooklyn the second most expensive, while more than one in five New York City residents live below the poverty line. Nearly one in five experiences times of “food insecurity” in the course of a year, sometimes not having enough safe and nutritious food to eat. In addition, years of deferred maintenance and inadequate facilities funding have taken a toll on New York City’s public school buildings, having disastrous consequences for some of Bloomberg’s most vulnerable populations. Students from the poorest families and neighborhoods attend some of the most neglected school buildings in the city. The poorer students are generally nonwhite, so this disparity in conditions predominantly affects Black, Latino and other nonwhite schoolchildren.

So, why is Bloomberg slated to receive the first prize of $1 million dollars? Could it be that over the past four years, billionaires from Russia, where not only the middle class is missing, but the millionaire class is missing, have been heavily investing in New York proper and the Hampton’s area of Long Island, the famous vacation turf of New York’s elite, including the mayor himself, former mayor Rudy Giuliani, Bill and Hillary Clinton and many others. Could it be that New York City looks the other way when foreign investor’s park their vast amounts of cash there? Edward Mermelstein, a lawyer who represents many foreigners in large real estate deals said, “New York condo boards do not typically scrutinize where a buyer’s money is coming from,” and Russians are very circumspect about their stashes of cash. Could the award have anything to do with the innate survivalist desire of Russians to be on good terms with their host government, or that most billionaires are prospering these days by cultivating and mining political connections with each other, rather than by creating new industries? Maybe billionaire Bloomberg, who has all ten fingers and toes in the proverbial billionaire political pot is the perfect candidate to receive the Jewish Nobel Prize!

New yorker Hillary Clinton would not dream of running for the presidency this year without campaign donor, money bags Bloomberg on her awards list, so she and Bubba bestowed Bloomberg with the annual “Clinton Global Citizen Awards” for his vision and leadership in addressing global problems. I guess the Clinton’s need to keep up to snuff with their political billionaire connections as well. Meanwhile, Jeb Bush kept Hillary busy by honoring her with the “Liberty Medal” from the National Constitution Center, where Jeb is the the chairman of the board of trustees. The Liberty Medal was established in 1988 to commemorate the bicentennial of the U.S. constitution. Given annually, the medal honors men and women of courage and conviction who strive to secure the blessings of liberty to people around the globe. Huh? What about the fact that it was under Clinton’s watch that the attack in Benghazi occurred, killing the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans? I guess Jeb must have realized how much courage and gutless conviction it took to totally ignore helpless dying Americans in their time of dire need? Six recipients of the “Medal” subsequently have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Is it possible that Hillary will be next? The way Nobel prizes are being handed out these days to recipients like Mayor Bloomberg and Barack Obama, you have to wonder if it is time to update the name of the award to “Ignoble” Prize!

While these wealthy do-gooder political hacks continue to pat each other on the back, receive their baseless awards and try to pretend that their global philanthropy is saving the planet, the average God loving American is more focused on the bigger picture and the ultimate award. “Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2Timothy 4:8  The prestige accompanying God’s award is authentic and priceless.

 

There is Something Very Fishy About Barack Obama.

Screen Shot 2013-10-25 at 3.16.15 PM

 

I bet you did not know that Barack Obama is a rock star in the environmental world!

He will go down in history as having a fish named after him called the “Etheostoma Obama,” better known as the “Spangled Darter.” As a matter of fact, Obama is the latest addition to an elite club of five fishy progressives, including; Clinton, Roosevelt, Carter and Gore, whom all share the same elite privilege of having a species of undersized, oddball perch species named after them! E.Obama was named after Barack Obama because” he is one of our first leaders to approach conservation and environmental protection from a more global vision,” stated Steve Layman from the Department of Biology at Saint Louis University. The “Spangled Darter” is a colorfully diverse fish who likes to zip around and hide under rocks in river drainage. Living in murky, drainage conditions and hiding under rocks is a well documented trait of an entire school of Democratic Blowfish, so it is no wonder that Obama was considered the best choice for this sludgy honor. It is truly a miracle that God provided America with a fish that matches it’s namesake, Barack Obama, so well! I will fervently pray that in the case of a food shortage in the coming turbulent days, God will not be asking Peter to cast his nets into those same muddy river bottom drainages. I would prefer to starve.

One would think that having a fish named after him should satisfy his narcissistic nature, but for Barack Obama, being a small fish in a large pond is not good enough. Why not take over the pond itself? The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Water Restoration Act is being rewritten to encompass virtually every collection of water in this country, from rivers to lakes, streams and even temporary pools of water. The 1972 Clean Water Act was originally intended to protect the navigable waters of the United States, but quickly morphed into a totalitarian move of supreme water rights aggression and control. In two separate cases before the Supreme Court in 2001 and 2006, the decisions partially reined in the abusive powers of the EPA. Now, the Clean Water Restoration Act of 2009, under Obama’s oligarchy, has re-surfaced and seeks to re-establish the nearly unlimited powers of the Clean Water Act. The new bill removes the word “navigable” so that ranchers and farmers who have mud puddles or melting snow on their property will come under the regulation of the Army Corps of Engineers and the EPA. This new Clean Water Act will define U.S. waters as “all waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide, the territorial seas and all interstate and intrastate waters and their tributaries, including lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams),” “as well as “mudflats, sand flats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows” etc. Virtually everywhere water is or collects, even on a temporary basis, is covered in this draconian Act. It is so all encompassing that it makes one wonder if someday our sweat and tears will be data mined and collected.

In true Poseidon fashion, with trident in hand, the EPA ‘s three prong attack includes prohibiting states from trapping and using rainwater, from reusing farm irrigation water and provides for the harsh fining of farmers $37,500 per day for having any standing water on their property. In order to have productive land and provide this nation with our vital food supply, farmers must have some degree of water on it….so it stands to reason that the EPA is, by default, the government overseer of everyone’s property and more importantly, the nation’s food supply.

Mother nature has continually been used and raped to satisfy the lusty greed of those elites who smell another quick way to amass their fortunes. Limousine liberal Al Gore, the climate alarmist who lives a jet-setting life in his gas guzzling, carbon spendthrift lifestyle, is the poster boy for eco-hypocrisy. Gore co-founded Generation Investment Management with Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Managing Director David W, Blood and partnered with several other investment and venture capitalists, including Kleiner Perkins, to increase his approximate $1- $2 million dollar wealth to a fortune that may exceed $200 million. Kleiner Perkins alone has raised over $1 billion dollars in the financing of forty or more so-called green tech companies. Scrooge Gore sits at his desk counting his money while pressing the government to enact new laws that continue to make his partnerships more profitable. In the meantime,  middle America is being forced to shut down companies because of brutal environmental regulations. The Obama kettle of political fish continues to shoal together and let America be sold down the river.

Even more troubling are the global water implications and resulting compliance with the United Nations. The ”World Resources Institute” (WRI) teamed up with Goldman Sachs and General Electric to form the “Aqueduct Alliance” which includes new corporate partners Coca-Cola, Talisman Energy, Dow Chemical, United Technologies and the financial/news conglomerate, Bloomberg LP. The Alliance was set up to monitor the worlds ground water and has a satellite named GRACE that can accurately monitor the depletion of groundwater and map global water risks. Kate Voss, policy fellow at the University of California Center for Hydrologic Modeling said the ignorance of groundwater levels and sustainable withdrawal rates is “Like taking money out of your bank account without knowing how much money is in your bank account.” She also stated that GRACE “becomes leverage for water managers and politicians to hopefully start acting.” What a performance that will be, the Harvard elites will be quoting Rudyard Kipling saying “ Water, get it! You limping lump o’brick-dust, Gunga Din!”

Is it any wonder that partner United Technologies, the world’s largest arms-producing company was attracted to the Alliance because of the potential conflict or “crisis” in the event of a water shortage, contrived or otherwise? Next year the water privatization market worldwide is expected to reach $1 trillion. As Goldman Sachs puts it, “There is no substitute for water. It is the only utility you ingest.” According to a leading critic of water privatization, Canadian Maude Barlow, “The biggest water company of all is General Electric.”

Fish eyes cannot focus directly upward because they are located on the sides of the head and are virtually blinded to what is above them. In the song “Let’s All Go Down To The River” sung by Etta James, she vocalizes  “Let’s all go down to the river, there’s a Man a-walking on the water and He can change the water and turn it into wine.” Perhaps God will do his faithful a favor and clean up that muddy river bottom of its fishy blinded progressive perch and turn that infested water into wine. Who needs water?
