David Kushner - Daylight

 David Kushner - Daylight 

 

 Telling myself I won't go there
Oh, but I know that I won't care
Tryna wash away all the blood I've spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt
There's darkness in the distance
From the way that I've been livin'
But I know I can't resist it
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin' all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Tellin' myself it's the last time
Can you spare any mercy that you might find
If I'm down on my knees again?
Deep down, way down, Lord, I try
Try to follow your light, but it's night time
Please, don't leave me in the end
There's darkness in the distance
I'm beggin' for forgiveness (ooh)
But I know I might resist it, oh
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin' all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin' all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time

30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill

 30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill 

 

 What if I wanted to break?
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor?
Couldn't take this anymore
What would you do, do, do?

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you

What if I wanted to fight?
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change, I know now
This is who I really am inside
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance, I know now
This is who I really am

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you, you, you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

Come break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)

(Say you wanted more)
What if I wanted to break?
(What are you waiting for?) (bury me, bury me)
(I'm not running from you)
What if I, what if I
What if I, what if I (bury me, bury me)

Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow

 Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow 

 

 Fall

Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover

I don't wanna change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere

All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

Fall

Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to Heaven

All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I'm not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive; paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I'm not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away

Fall

Luke 21: 15-19

 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

  And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

  But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

  In your patience possess ye your souls.

The Killers- Human

The Killers- Human

 I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought, but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart
Cut the cord
Are we human
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?
Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well
You've gotta let me go
Are we human
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?
Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?
Are we human
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
You've gotta let me know
Are we human
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?
Are we human
Or are we dancer?
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

 God, Allow Me (Please) to Make Music 

 

 Why today, many perceptions have become toxic?
Why today, many people wear religion to kill the music?
I feel like I am fallin’, washed down, swallowed by the crowd

I'm not the criminal
I'm not the enemy
I just wanna sing a song to show my soul
I'm not the corruptor
I'm not the enemy
I just wanna sing a song to show my soul

God, allow me please to play music
God, allow me please to play music
God, allow me please to play music
God, allow me please to play music

Why today, many perceptions have become toxic?
Why today, idealizations are abusing our mind?
I feel like I’m falling down, in the deep hole of hatred

I'm not the criminal
I'm not the enemy
I just wanna sing a song to show my soul
I'm not the corruptor
I'm not the enemy
I just wanna sing a song to show my soul

White Stripes - Seven Nation Army - Paris - Rockin'1000 Musicians

 Seven Nation Army 

 I'm gonna fight 'em all

A seven nation army couldn't hold me back

They're gonna rip it off

Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night

Because I can't forget

Back and forth through my mind

Behind a cigarette


And the message coming from my eyes

Says, "Leave it alone"


Don't wanna hear about it

Every single one's got a story to tell

Everyone knows about it

From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell

And if I catch it coming back my way

I'm gonna serve it to you

And that ain't what you want to hear

But that's what I'll do


And the feeling coming from my bones

Says, "Find a home"


I'm going to Wichita

Far from this opera forevermore

I'm gonna work the straw

Make the sweat drip out of every pore

And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding

Right before the Lord

All the words are gonna bleed from me

And I will sing no more


And the stains coming from my blood

Tell me, "Go back home"


 

Hebrews 8:8-13

 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts:  and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

  And  they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying Know the Lord:  for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest:

  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

  In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old.  Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Sleep Token - Rain

 Rain 

 

 For so long, I have waited
So long that I almost became
Just a stoic statue, fit for nobody
And I don't wanna get in your way
But I finally think I can say
That the vicious cycle was over
The moment you smiled at me

[Chorus]
And just like the rain
You cast the dust into nothing
And wash out the salt from my hands
So touch me again
I feel my shadow dissolving
Will you cleanse me with pleasure?

It's that chemical cut that I can get down with
Up like the moon and out like the hounds
A dangerous disposition somehow refracted in light, reflected in sound
I'm coiled up like the venomous serpent, tangled in your trance and I'm certain
You have got your hooks in me
I know, I know, the way that it goes
You get what you give, you reap what you sow
And I can see you in my fate
I know, I know, I am what I am
The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb
So darling, will you saturate?

[Chorus]
And just like the rain
You cast the dust into nothing
And wash out the salt from my hands
So touch me again
I feel my shadow dissolving
Will you cleanse me with pleasure?

[Bridge]
Nobody can say for certain
If maybe it's all just a game
When I open my eyes to the future
I can hear you say my name

So rain down on me, oh oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me, oh oh oh
Rain down on me, oh oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me
Rain down on me, yeah
Rain down on me, oh oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me, oh oh oh
Rain down on me, oh oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me
Rain down on me, yeah
Rain down on me

Linkin Park - Battle Symphony

 Battle Symphony 

 

 I got a long way to go
And a long memory
I been searching for an answer
Always just out of reach
Blood on the floor
Sirens repeat
I been searching for the courage
To face my enemies
When they turn down the lights
 
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake
For my battle symphony
 
They say that I don’t belong
Say that I should retreat
That I’m marching to the rhythm
Of a lonesome defeat
But the sound of your voice
Puts the pain in reverse
No surrender, no illusions
And for better or worse
When they turn down the lights
 
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake
 
If I fall, get knocked down
Pick myself up off the ground
When they turn down the lights
 
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake
For my battle symphony

The Revivalists - Monster

 Monster 

 

 She said she wanna tell me everything all night long
She said she wanna get her name into a song
So we go dancing in the daylight and everything is good right now
I can hold my pain in and we can have our love for a while

But you better stop and save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You better save yourself

She said she wanna get up into my biz for a day
And I could have her I could keep her but I can't make it rain
So I'm listening to the rain drum listening to the silent sound, yeah
While I'm hearing everybody else screaming out loud

Boy you better stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You better save yourself
You better save yourself

Yeah I'm sleeping with a snake tonight
And nowadays what's wrong feels right
I was a bastard of the worse kind
I looked you in the eyes still told you a lie
Drinking cheap champagne, no I can't complain
Pushed into the lights these are the pressures of fame
And it's still all good there's only one thing wrong
You know what it is and I told you
Well I'm a monster

I'm turning into a monster
And I don't want to be a monster anymore, no
I've got to leave you alone
But I can't leave you alone

Lord Huron - The Stranger

The Stranger 

 

 I can't trust anyone or anything these days

If you are who you say you are, then show your face
Came out of the ocean like you came out of a dream
Your voice it sounds familiar, but you are not what you seem

All words of comfort can not take away my doubt
I've decided if it kills me, I'll find out what you're about
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

But I know what you want and why
Of all the strangers, you're the strangest that I've seen
I'm not afraid to die
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

You are not the one you say you are
You are not the one you say you are

I can't trust anyone or anything these days
If you are who you say you are, then show me your face
Know enough to say you are not what you claim to be
I've kept close watch upon you and I don't like what I see

Can't escape the feeling that you'll get me in the night
I'll sleep with one eye open, and I'm not afraid to fight
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

But I know what you want and why
Of all the strangers, you're the strangest that I've seen
I'm not afraid to die
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

Know what you want and why
Of all the strangers, you're the strangest that I've seen
I'm not afraid to die
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

You are not the one you say you are
You are not the one you say you are
You are not the one you say you are
You are not the one you say you are

Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name

Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name

Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your-

PSALM 57 - KJV

 BE merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee; yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

  I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

  He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up.  Selah.  God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

  My soul is among lions; and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword. 

  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

  They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down:  they have digged a pit before me into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves.  Selah.

  My heart is fixed.  O God, my heart is fixed:  I will sing and give praise. 

  Awake up, my glory, awake, psaltery and harp:  I myself will awake early.

  I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people:  I will sing unto thee among the nations.

  For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:  let thy glory be above all the earth.

Chuck Baldwin: Now We Know How Germany Let It Happen

Now We Know How Germany Let It HappenBy Chuck Baldwin
April 2, 2020

For as long as I can remember, when freedom-loving Americans would gather in small groups to discuss world affairs, the question would come up, “How did the German people come to allow themselves to embrace totalitarianism the way they did?” Then, after a time of discussion about it, the group would always conclude by saying, “Thank God, this could never happen in America.” 

As a small boy, I heard those discussions from my parents and their friends, who were part of “The Greatest Generation.” I heard it from my friends in college. And I heard it all of my adult life in churches, coffee shops and conference rooms all over America: “How could Germany let it happen?” And, “Thank God, it could never happen in America.”

Well, it IS happening in America—and all over the world at the same time. Due to their complete collapse into a state of fear and panic, most Americans seem oblivious to the fact that we are right now—RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE—living in what could easily be the last days of freedom.

It happened in less than 30 days—and it is happening due to mass hyperbole and media manipulation. No, I’m not saying that the coronavirus is not real. Neither am I saying that people have not died from the virus. But I am saying that the fearmongering over the claim that corona has the potential to be a global pandemic akin to the Black Death is pure, unadulterated  poppycock.

Here is a list of twelve of the most respected and imminent medical scholars in the world telling us that all of this fearmongering over COVID-19 is much ado about nothing.

The virus models spawning much of this fear and paranoia that are producing all kinds of Martial Law around the world are themselves fraught with inaccuracies.

And in this analytical report, John Rappoport uses quotes from official sources about their own diagnostic tests to prove that the entire coronavirus scare is an “illusion” produced by “fake science.” 

Rappoport shows:

*A positive test doesn’t guarantee that the COVID virus is causing infection at all.

*Some PCR tests register positive for types of coronavirus that have nothing to do with COVID—including plain old coronas that cause nothing more than a cold.

*The idea of “asymptomatic patients” confirmed by the test is nonsense. And even though a positive test for COVID may not indicate the actual cause of disease, all positive tests must be reported—and they will be counted as “COVID cases.” Regardless.

*All positive tests must be reported to government agencies, and they are counted as COVID cases.

Let this sink in: The corona cold virus has been with us for almost forever. If we ever had the corona cold virus in our past, a PCR test could show us as being corona “positive.” And if a person dies from almost any cause—short of a car wreck or bullet wound—a postmortem test that reflects a positive reading for corona would require (by the demands of government) that the deceased be listed as having died FROM corona. But in many cases (if not most cases), the deceased died WITH corona but not FROM corona. 

In other words, these tests and statistics surrounding the coronavirus are wildly speculative and exaggerated. But they succeed in keeping the public in a state of fear and panic. 

By the way, did you know that more people in Tennessee committed suicide than died from corona last week? 

Make no mistake about it: This is a planned event. The globalists—that the entire evangelical Christian and conservative Republican world kept telling us for the last three years that Donald Trump had on the run—are actually stronger than ever and have chosen this White House and this moment to launch an all-out attack against our Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Laws of Nature. 

No! Donald Trump was not a man of the people to take down the Deep State; he was always a puppet of the Deep State to take down the rights and freedoms of The People. State governors (Republican and Democrat) are taking their Police State cues from the White House, because they know that as long as Trump endorses the plan, Christians and conservatives will sheepishly go along. I’m telling you straight out: This all-out assault against our freedoms would not and could not be happening if a Democrat was in the White House.

I’ve said it a hundred times: America loses far more freedoms when a Republican is in the White House than when a Democrat is in the White House. We lost far more liberties under G.W. Bush than we did under Bill Clinton, and we have lost far more freedoms under Donald Trump than we did under Barack Obama. And right now it looks like the loss of EVERYTHING we hold dear as a nation will occur under the Republican President Donald Trump.

This is not because Republican presidents are worse than Democrat presidents. It’s because both Republican and Democrat presidents are controlled by the same people, and when Republicans are in office, the real source of resistance—born-again Christians, “patriots” and conservatives within the GOP—becomes sheepish slaves of the Republican president and offers ZERO resistance. No! It’s more than that: They provide enthusiastic support for the Republican president—no matter how draconian his actions prove to be.

In the past 30 days, Americans have lost—or should I say have willingly surrendered:
*The free exercise of religion
*The freedom to peaceably assemble
*The freedom to travel
*The freedom to work
*The freedom to obtain a firearm (if you live in Washington State, New Jersey, New Orleans and other places)
*The right of autonomy over one’s own property
*The right of autonomy over one’s own money (try to withdraw a large sum of money right now and see what happens)
*The right to buy and sell

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. A county in Indiana recently declared books (which includes the Bible) to be “non-essential” goods and outlawed their sale. Checkpoints are going up. National Guard troops are checking temperatures at airports. Local governments are setting up networks for citizens to rat out each other. Medical care is being rationed. The list is endless. 

Judge Andrew Napolitano rightly asks, “What good are constitutional rights if they are violated when Americans get sick?”

One of my Fox colleagues recently sent me an email attachment of a painting of the framers signing the Constitution of the United States. Except in this version, George Washington — who presided at the Constitutional Convention — looks at James Madison — who was the scrivener at the Convention — and says, “None of this counts if people get sick, right?”

In these days of state governors issuing daily decrees purporting to criminalize the exercise of our personal freedoms, the words put into Washington’s mouth are only mildly amusing. Had Washington actually asked such a question, Madison, of all people, would likely have responded: “No. This document protects our natural rights at all times and under all circumstances.”

Namely, that since our rights come from our humanity, not from the government, foolish people can only sacrifice their own freedoms, not the freedoms of others. 

Thus, freedom can only be taken away when the government proves fault at a jury trial. This protection is called procedural due process, and it, too, is guaranteed in the Constitution.

Of what value is a constitutional guarantee if it can be violated when people get sick? If it can, it is not a guarantee; it is a fraud. Stated differently, a constitutional guarantee is only as valuable and reliable as is the fidelity to the Constitution of those in whose hands we have reposed it for safekeeping. 

Because the folks in government, with very few exceptions, suffer from what St. Augustine called libido dominandi—the lust to dominate—when they are confronted with the age-old clash of personal liberty versus government force, they will nearly always come down on the side of force.

How do they get away with this? By scaring the daylights out of us. I never thought I’d see this in my lifetime, though our ancestors saw this in every generation. In America today, we have a government of fear. Machiavelli offered that men obey better when they fear you than when they love you. Sadly, he was right, and the government in America knows this.

But Madison knew this as well when he wrote the Constitution. And he knew it four years later when he wrote the Bill of Rights. He intentionally employed language to warn those who lust to dominate that, however they employ governmental powers, the Constitution is “the Supreme Law of the Land” and all government behavior in America is subject to it. 

This is not a novel or an arcane argument. This is fundamental American law. Yet, it is being violated right before our eyes by the very human beings we have elected to uphold it. And each of them — every governor interfering with the freedom to make one’s own choices — has taken an express oath to comply with the Constitution.

What is the nature of freedom? It is an unassailable natural claim against all others, including the government. Stated differently, it is your unconditional right to think as you wish, to say what you think, to publish what you say, to associate with whomever wishes to be with you no matter their number, to worship or not, to defend yourself, to own and use property as you see fit, to travel where you wish, to purchase from a willing seller, to be left alone. And to do all this without a government permission slip.

What is the nature of government? It is the negation of freedom. It is a monopoly of force in a designated geographic area. When elected officials fear that their base is slipping, they will feel the need to do something — anything — that will let them claim to be enhancing safety. Trampling liberty works for that odious purpose. Hence a decree commanding obedience, promising safety and threatening punishment.

It was only a few months ago when Christians and conservatives would often use this quote from Benjamin Franklin: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Hardly any of them are using that quote today. Instead, they are expressing enthusiastic endorsement for the assaults against their liberties—in the name of SAFETY from corona. More than that: They are frothing venom and hatred against anyone who dares to stand up for our constitutional liberties.

These conveniently confused Christians and conservatives are regurgitating the very words and ideas that the Tories expressed toward our American patriot forebears.

Recall that the great champion of liberty, the Rev. James Caldwell of New Jersey, was assassinated by a fellow American loyal to the tyrannous British Crown. These modern Tories would be happy to do the same thing to those preachers standing for freedom right now. I know, because I receive and hear their hate-filled threats almost daily.

Do you not find it interesting that the same Trump-worshipping Christians and conservatives who for the last three years kept telling us that the mainstream media (MSM) was “fake news” are now aggressively attacking anyone who doesn’t buy what the MSM is saying about the coronavirus? Talk about blatant two-facedness! 

Make no mistake about it: We are in the beginning of a war against our liberties that will not subside until the American people decide, AGAIN, that essential liberty is more valuable than temporary safety. 

As loudly as I know how to say it: FREEDOM IS NOT A NON-ESSENTIAL. 

From The Ron Paul Institute For Peace And Prosperity website, Justin Pavoni writes,

There have been 23,000 US deaths so far this year due to flu, 3,000 from coronavirus. Worldwide stats are roughly in parallel. Legitimate population samples and common sense show that the virus has infected way more people than reported by the immoral news organizations that make money off this hysteria. It is highly likely that REAL death rates are closer to .05 percent rather than the oft-emphasized 3 percent.

Social Distancing makes people distrust one another. People that are afraid of each other are easier to control. 

{As Dr. Frank Ulrich Montgomery noted, lockdowns and quarantines in Italy did NOT slow down the spread of the virus but actually caused it to spread much faster.}

I have already seen certain local governments posting websites for all of us to tell on each other for congregating in groups. My wife has had skeptical posts removed from Facebook. Sounds a lot like the secret police to me.

Will they soon be forcibly vaccinating my whole family even though there's a huge chance I'm naturally immune to this virus already? What if I don't want the vaccine? What if I would rather develop a natural immunity? Am I going to be targeted (modern day witch hunt) as a bio terrorist germ spreader if I want to contract the cold and let my body beat it on its own? Of course, since vaccines have all kinds of toxins in them and since they'll also get rushed to market in the hysteria, there's a huge likelihood making me take the vaccine would do more harm than good. Is anyone going to be held responsible for that if it were to happen?

The first amendment to the constitution is supposed to guarantee the right of Americans to peacefully assemble with their fellow man. THAT IS, TO PEACEFULLY PROTEST AS A GROUP. What happens when I get together with > 10 people to protest this insane coronavirus lockdown that does nothing to stop the spread of a disease the government is likely 6 months behind? I would probably spend 6 months in jail and everyone would tell me I'm trying to kill their grandparents. INSANE! There is no provision in the constitution that allows for this fundamental human right to assemble to be ignored during the coronavirus or at any other time.

The government has no money. It has to steal everything it gets and since it's in the red, it has to print the $2 trillion {actually $6 trillion} out of thin air. The one honest guy in the House of Representatives, Thomas Massie, called this a huge wealth transfer from the masses to the rich with $1200 as the cheese in the trap. He is exactly right. 

{I urged everyone on my Facebook page to call Mr. Massie and encourage this courageous congressman. Almost everyone in Washington, D.C.—including Donald Trump—is excoriating this good man for his principled stand on the Constitution. Trump is calling for Massie’s expulsion from the Republican Party, and wealthy Zionists are heeding Trump’s call and are amassing money and personal opposition to Massie’s re-election.} 

Now they're printing up more money to buy all the big companies. So soon the Fed will own all the businesses because who can compete with a printing press. Who needs a communist revolution when you have central banking?

Welcome to 1984 in the central banking states of America.

What’s going to happen during the next 30 days? An Internet shut down? Cash made illegal? Jail for people who question the media/government spin on the virus? What comes after that? Elections cancelled? Military courts taking over civil courts? An oligarchic politburo installed? 

I was talking about the elitists’ plans for an unelected, oligarchic takeover of America via a Continuity of Government (COG) blueprint on my national radio talk show back in the 1990s. Even the CBS TV show Jericho (2006 - 2008) highlighted the existence of COG in its dramatic depiction of a conspiracy between giant corporations and government to destroy America’s constitutional liberties. 

Even as we speak, the U.S. military is prepared to implement COG Martial Law in America due to the coronavirus. The point is, all of this has been on the drawing board for decades. 

Bill Gates is saying he expects that people will soon receive a “digital certificate” branded into their skin to show that they have been vaccinated. He also said that a “national tracking system” is on its way for Americans. He said that “technology is nothing more than an upgrade on traditional cattle branding.” Obviously, Gates believes we humans are cattle—to be branded with HIS mark. 

“It could never happen in America,” you say? A month ago, I seem to remember people saying that same thing about what is happening RIGHT NOW.

So, now we know the answer to the decades-old question, “How did Germany let it happen?” They let it happen the same way WE are letting it happen. 

P.S. Here is my message recorded live at Liberty Fellowship last Sunday, March 29, 2020, entitled "The Plague Of His Own Heart"

Funeral Etiquette

Funeral Etiquette

"How-tos" for supporting loved ones during their time of grief

Do you have questions about what to wear to a funeral or memorial service? Or wonder what to say to someone who has just lost a loved one? The information below may help guide you through unfamiliar circumstances.

 What to wear to a funeral or memorial service
The appropriate attire for a funeral or memorial service is simple: dress to show respect for the person whose life you are remembering. This means selecting clothes that are more conservative, not flashy or brightly colored. Darker dresses, suits, pants, jackets and sweaters are appropriate. Flip-flops, tank tops, shorts, sundresses, casual tennis shoes and cleavage are not appropriate. Even though the service may be a celebration of life, many of those attending will be mourning. Your goal is to blend in, not be conspicuous.

A special note to teenagers or young adults: You live in a very casual world where jeans and casual shirts are appropriate in most settings. A funeral is not one of those. If this is your first time attending a service, talk to your parents or a trusted friend to help you select what to wear. This is the kindest way to show the family you care.

What to expect at a funeral or memorial service
Depending on where the service is held and the wishes of the family, services today vary widely. Regardless, there are some common guidelines to know:
  1. A guestbook will be outside the service for you to sign. Please do sign it and make your signature legible – the family will treasure reviewing the names of those who attend, and this will be the best way for them to remember you were there.
  2. Be on time or early. It is rude to enter a service after it has started. If you are late, enter from one side and be seated as unobtrusively as possible. If the family is processing, wait until they have finished and reached their seats, then enter after them.
  3. Seating: the family will have a designated seating area, usually at the front or the side of the room. This area will be marked, so look for “Reserved” signs and avoid sitting in these seats.
  4. If an usher is present, you will be shown to a seat. If an usher is not present, it is courteous to enter a row from a side aisle to avoid climbing over people already seated.  Much as at any event, seating is “first come, first served” so if you want a “good” seat, arrive early and do not expect people to move for you. The aisle seats are the ones most preferred.
  5. Enter the room and sit quietly. Turn off your cell phone and put it away. Your behavior should allow those around you to mourn without distraction.
  6. There may be an open casket. At most services, you are welcomed to walk forward prior to the service to pay respects at the casket. Do not touch the body or any of the surrounding items or flowers. However, it is not mandatory to go forward if you prefer not to.
  7. When the family enters, you will be instructed to stand until they have entered and taken their seats. Then you will be seated.
  8. When the service ends, you will be instructed to stand while the family exits. This recessional will vary depending on the service and the presence of an open vs. closed casket.
  9. After the service, the attendees may be ushered out by walking past an open casket. It is most courteous to follow the group. If you prefer not to view the open casket, just walk past without looking.
  10. If you are not escorted past the casket, watch for direction on how to exit the service: at-will or by escort row by row.
  11. If you are going to the burial and will be driving, you will form a queue behind the vehicles carrying the casket and family members. Turn on your lights and follow the car in front of you.  If your group is escorted to the cemetery, follow the directions of the officers; generally you will be waved through stoplights and stop signs, and out of courtesy other drivers may pull over to let you pass.
  12. At the gravesite, stand away from the site to allow the family to be seated before approaching. Then gather close so you can hear the brief service.
  13. Following the interment, you are free to leave as you wish. The family often lingers to speak to guests, and they will be your cue as to whether or not you should approach to express your condolences.
How to express sympathy following death
One of the most frequent questions we hear is, “What do I say to someone who has just lost a loved one?”  There may be special circumstances surrounding the death—an accident, a suicide, unexpected death during surgery—that make the question even more difficult to answer. Here are some simple suggestions:
  1. Please do speak to the family. They will hear eloquent messages and bumbling messages. But the most important thing is that their grief is acknowledged.
  2. If you knew the person casually or only slightly, stick with a short statement: “I am so sorry for your loss.”
  3. If you have something positive to add, make the statement a little longer: “I am so sorry for your loss. John was the best teacher I ever had.”
  4. If you won’t see the family, send a card or a note. The same message you would say in person can be written on the card.
  5. Make a donation in the person’s memory. Most people designate a place of worship, charity or other organization that was important to them. The recipient will notify the family of your donation (but not the amount that was given).
  6. Offer concrete assistance: a guestroom for family attending the service, grocery shopping or other errands, even staying at the family’s home during the service so the house isn’t unattended.
  7. Reach out later, when the flush of attention has ended and the days of grieving may be long and lonely. A simple phone call that says “thinking of you” can mean so much.
  8. Share stories that reflect the goodness of the life you’re remembering.
  9. Listen. And listen some more.
What NOT to say following a death
Most families can relate head-shaking stories of inappropriate comments made following a death—many of them well intended but offensive. Here is what to avoid:
  1. Do not probe for details. It is not your business.
  2. Don’t add value judgments: “It’s for the best,” “This is a blessing in disguise.”
  3. Don’t assume the family’s beliefs are the same as yours. Avoid comments such as, “He’s in a better place now,” “Everything happens for a reason,” “It was God’s will.”
  4. Don’t minimize the family’s loss: “Aren’t you glad it’s over?” “She wouldn’t want you to be sad.”
  5. Don’t assume you understand what the family is feeling. Everyone grieves uniquely.

Scottish Potato Scones and recipe

Tomorrow is Robert Burns Night (January 25th), but we got a head start with this recipe tonight...
  Scottish Potato Scones recipe from Christina's blog- it's full of food and travel!

In spite of the fact that we did not make them thin enough, or cook them quite long enough, or put quite enough salt in them...we have a new favorite at our house!  Serve with butter and apple butter (homemade is best!).   Mmm, mmm, good!  We started with leftover mashed potatoes so they were wetter and needed more flour, but still quite tasty.  Instead of rolling them I patted them onto waxed paper. 


 We tried this sausage...purchased from Azure Standard.com  Pretty good.  The other is Mesquite Smoked Kielbasa from Costco. 
Keeping them warm on the wood stove while the final batch cooked!

Pot Pie Recipe

 
The short answer to the recipe request: Cook a pot-roast, make gravy from the drippings, cook the veg on the side, mix them together, and put them in a crust.


The long version of the recipe:
These cute little pot-pies are goat, rather than beef. Trust me- if you like game, and make this recipe, you will love it.  
2 things make this recipe great: 
1) If you open the meat as much as possible, and try to get as much of the connective tissue/silver skin out/off of it as you can, it will taste MUCH less "gamey".  (Some people don't know that it is goat!)
2) The seasoning. 

Get our Crust recipe HERE!
Get the Lamb/Goat recipe from Mike, at his blog: over HERE!

Changes that the McKees made the first time:
Cooked 45 minutes in an "instapot"
2lb of Goat Shoulder,
4 sprigs of rosemary, (left whole)
dry thyme, (we used dry leaves 6 generous pinches, maybe 2 teaspoons?)
1 & 1/2 Tablespoons table salt,
generous shakes of red pepper flakes,
Dry white wine in place of the cooking wine.
Extra wine (in place of some of the water) added bouillon.
Cooked the onions in bacon grease! 

Changes that the McKees made the second time:
Cooked 90 minutes in an "instapot"
4lb of Goat Shoulder,
4 sprigs of rosemary, (stripped off the twigs)
dry thyme, we used dry leaves 6 generous pinches,  maybe 2 teaspoons?
Salt: as called for the the recipe, 
Dry white wine in place of the cooking wine,
Beef drippings (from a pot roast) in place of the water,
Cooked the onions in olive oil & bacon grease!

Turn it into pot-pie:
 ~Don't cook the veg with the meat: cook the veg on the side (carrots and peas together, and potato in another pot).  
~Be careful to get all the bones out of the meat (goat and lamb have very tiny bones).
~The gravy was just all the drippings (4 cups or so) thickened with tapioca starch. 
~Mix everything together, and put them in a crust. 
~We cut 2 single crusts in quarters (so, 8 pieces total).
~And baked our pot-pies in oven-safe cereal bowls. 
~I "glazed" the top crusts with beaten egg. :-)
~Bake in a 375 oven, until the center bubbles.
