"The Man who Waited...."

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/

tschuckman@aol.com

Hello   Friends,
     An email buddy,  Thomas N., sent this cool message to me, and I thought that it was nothing more than the bare,  simple,   TRUTH !!  Ha!   And most of you already know what I think of the Truth.   The apostle Paul said, at Galatians 4: 16,   "Am I therefore become your enemy,  because I tell you he truth?"     Indeed,  I have made so many enemies for just telling the truth, so that I now try to carefully refrain from wounding anyone by being more "discreet."   And I see that a handful of 'people' removed themselves from my "following blog group,"  but I learned long ago, that those folks were going to leave me anyway, and were nothing more than 'fair weather friends' and who need the dead wood clinging to me, and weighting me down.  Ha !   I already carry too many pounds on my belly and behind !  And....  I intend to do something about that too, like re-join the local Gym, in Kingsford, MI.  
        I hope that you also notice that I am trying hard not to burn anyone by name, and have recently learned that 'hating another human being hurt me just as much as the target of my arrows and darts !!'  So,  by the Grace of God, and the Holy Spirit,  I am like a "New Man" in putting those hateful tendencies and hostilities away forever,  so help me God.   And for the record,  I can do NOTHING of my own human accord,  but allow the H.S. to move me in the right, biblical direction, still a sinner,  but feeling a ray of hope.   Thank You, Lord.   So....  don't expect me to hang around F/ B too much from now on either,  because it's too addictive and time consuming,  also watched closely by "Big Brother" --- the Gov't.   You remember, don't you ?? That huge entity that gets so many of our young soldiers killed over seas in stupid wars that don't even have an exist strategy and only seek to limit and contain the enemy....   duh !!   Don't get me wrong,  I love all the Soldiers, Marines and other branches,  but the leadership stinks, big time !   Sorry,  that was the truth again,  shame on me....
    Prayers for those dear to me who have sustained painful injuries and hurting from arthritis and other disorders.   I am hoping to get more involved in my "new place of worship" --- at the Wednesday night Prayer Meetings, etc.  

OK,  the main point of the fine message down below, delivered so poetically, IMHO, is that you just cannot trust ANYONE IN THE WORLD,  except Jesus Christ, our dear Lord and Savior,  and ourselves !!   Please, visit the multitude of fine, comprehensive  blogs and other places that really INFORM you in how to take care of yourself.  Even with limited money and income,  you really need proper 'hardware' to protect yourself.  Learn who to do just that, and invest in some silver bullion coins, good sharp knives and take a safety gun course/ fire arms !   Combat Veterans are number one on the list to herd up and 'dispose of,'  because we are trained leaders in survival and protection !  I already believe that MY days are numbered, and even though my hope is in Christ and the Rapture,  I may well be snuffed out before my time,  just for posting stuff like THIS in my humble, but out spoken blog ! ! !   Oh well....  I am old enough to have a heart attack or stroke right now,  but the Lord keeps me here yet,  because He can use me somehow, some way.  PTL.  

Have a great chilly day, dear friends and readers.

The man who waited....

“We are approaching ultimate inversion: where government is free to do  
anything, while citizens may act only by permission.”

Anon

The family of man who froze to death in his stranded vehicle, while  
patiently waiting for promised help that never came, on a NY highway during a  
November snowstorm has just announced that they are filing a claim against the  
State of NY, the county involved, and the State DOT.

If course, units of government have, through legislation, so thoroughly  
insulated themselves against all such claims that there is scant chance of
this  one ever seeing the light of day.

The victim in this case made numerous phone calls from his stranded vehicle
to 911, AAA, et al and was repeatedly ordered to stay put, and assured
that help  was “on the way.”  

That was a lie!  Help was never on the way, and he died waiting for  it.  
The entire LE and DOT systems were hopelessly overloaded, and State  
authorities, enforcing a travel ban, prevented AAA from sending a tow  truck.

The point is this:

“Who live on hope, will die fasting.”

B Franklin

A government that has promoted enforced dependency, in a cynical attempt to
garner votes from the chronically dependant and permanently unproductive,
now  casually admits that they cannot possibly live up to false expectations
they  themselves have promised!

Loosely translated into plain English: It takes virtually nothing to  
overwhelm the System, leaving naively expectant citizens waiting for “help” that
never comes!

As liberals/leftists condescendingly denigrate personal preparedness,  
particularly being armed, out of the other side of their mouths comes the  
sheepish admission that, in virtually any kind of emergency, we are all “on our  
own!”

This is the kind of double-talk that infuriates voters, and should.   
Bureaucrats quetch endlessly that their various departments are “just not big  
enough.”  Yet, with each growth in size, complaints, far from diminishing,  
expand exponentially.  Bureaucracies quickly and invariably develop a cozy,  
symbiotic relationship with the very “problems” they are supposed to  “solve.
”  The cycle is never-ending!  

Amid perpetual scandals, they always claim to be doing the best they  can.  
Sorry, but this taxpayer is fresh out of sympathy!  

What will save our Republic is an audacious rebirth of personal  
preparedness and personal independence, not more dependence and bigger and more  
intrusive bureaucracies.  

With any luck, we are, at long last, leaning this painful lesson!

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from  
men who produce nothing.  When you see that money is flowing to those who  
deal, not in goods, but in favors.  When you see that men get richer by  
graft and pull, than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but
protect them against you.  When you see corruption being rewarded, and  
honesty becoming a self-sacrifice, you may know that your society is  doomed.”

The Beast is on his way.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/

tschuckman@aol.com

Dear Friends,
    I do believe that this was an advertisement,  but I cut off that part going to any private vendor.   I have tried a few businesses / "Metals Companies in the past from just looking at TV Commercials, but later chose a different company that impresses me with their honesty and kind marketing, etc.   If you are interested, email me, please:   tschuckman@aol.com     However,  I know, for the most part I will scarcely get any emails,  for a few reasons mentioned right below....  that most American incomes/ families don't even have enough 'Liquid Assets --- MONEY $$$'  for one week !!   While other civilized, modern countries save much more !    As if you all didn't know that.   The Lord has blessed me in a grand way in income,  but right now, most of my income still goes to pay off / pay down huge Credit Card bills that were charged up last year in my family household.  
     To be perfectly HONEST, dear friends,  I don't know exactly --- even what month ahead of now will be the one that really scares the heck out of me,  so I am trying to do two things at once.   Pay off bills and invest a little bit too, while also storing  up some emergency food.   I HAD things pretty much in hand / in control until something BIG blew up in my face right before Christmas,  but I prefer not to rehash all of that again.  
    The book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter4, verses 9--12,  explain how a 'team of two people' -- like a man and wife, are better than just one person working by himself, in MANY WAYS !!   God also hates a divorcing...  book of Malachi.   So much can be done and accomplished by a good team of horses, or two good Soldiers for that matter !   The bible says,  "Two are better than one."   But the spirit of the world tells everyone to "Do their own thing --- and leave the bible to collect dust !"   Now,  people can just do what ever they want,  but the Word of God will always return to haunt the hell out of many so-called 'Good Folks' who despise the KJV Bible, sooner or later.  
      Well, as I have said so many times,  God loves me, and I love, Jesus Christ, and that's about the only thing I've got going for me.    And I intend to read, and re-read the two Chapters of Psalm 33, and 34, until they are well burned into my brain, and heart.  
       Now, friends,  my battle plan and suggestions are sound, good, wise and important,  but even if a person doesn't have some of the where-with-all as I do,  a close relationship with Father God...  thru His Son, Jesus, and close company with the H.S.  [Holy Spirit] trump everything else in this world.      Just do it.

Warm Regards,
Tom

He has his own TV show on Fox and he is slowly taking over the world’s money supply. Who is he? Let’s just say that Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled in our time.

Norway Is Forsaking Cash: The Mark of the Beast Is Near

Norway’s largest bank, DNB, has said that cash is the byproduct of drug dealers and money launderers. In order to eliminate everyday Norwegians from participating the black market and being engaged in money laundering schemes, it is important to stop using cash as a medium of exchange all together.
Bank executive Trond Bentestuen told VG the following:
“Today, there is approximately 50 billion kroner in circulation and [central bank] Norges Bank can only account for 40 percent of its use. That means that 60 percent of money usage is outside of any control. We believe that is due to under-the-table money and laundering.”
This is such a dangerous precedent because the Norwegian banks can say your money is worth what they say. By changing the value of the digitized currency, both bail-ins and bail-outs could in effect be executed and the average Norwegian would be none the wiser. Such a practice gives the bankers exactly what they want.
These beliefs are present in America and the same fate could be in store for the dollar. And by the way, when cash disappears from the market place, what you had in the bank is worth whatever “they” say its worth. It is a safe bet to conclude that the value of the Norwegian money is not going to go up. The anti-Christ has invaded Norway as the average Norwegian will not be able to buy and sell without using the Devil’s currency.

America Is Ripe for a Currency Devaluation

When something is secret and kept from you, it is usually very bad for you.
When something is secret and kept from you, it is usually very bad for you.
Very soon, America will lose 448,000 jobs when the TPP takes effect, says various researchers. Sold as an economic stimulant, TPP proponents have told the public that the trade deal would be a boon to the economy. When nearly five million jobs are lost in the first few weeks of the TPP,  the crippled economy will demand extreme reaction by TPTB. Every austerity rule will be on the table including the Mark of the of the Beast.

Americans Are Already Reeling

The second Pew brief found that “More than half of households (54%) could not replace one month’s income using their liquid savings,” concludes . “Over a quarter of households do not have enough liquid savings to replace even one week of income.”
The news is even more dire as the Pew Center’s research indicates that 25% of high-income households have “less than 13 days’ worth of income in liquid savings.” Further, a full 25% of households making less than $25,000 a year have no liquid savings at all. In these instances, the typical household in this income bracket has only six days’ worth of income in liquid savings.
Below is a telling video from an economic expert. He clearly tells the viewers that they should be buying previous metals. However, people are not buying because the prices are flat. Instead, they are letting their cash waster away as the value tremendously decreases. There are none so blind as those that will not see.

Recently, a friend asked me what would I recommend his daughter major in as she begins college this fall.  I thought for a moment and answered “welfare”.  The father was quite taken back as I took out my IPAD and forwarded him some of my files which contains our recent economic statistics.
There are 35 states in this country in which it is better to accept welfare than work at an entry level job. Much like crack cocaine or heroin addicts, much of our nation is hopelessly addicted to living in the welfare state. This has real implications for the emotional and even spiritual health of our nation. The most distressing aspect of the present economic conditions we find ourselves mired in, is the fact that we are allowing our young people to have their dreams and their very sense of hope stolen away from them. Fear monger, naysayer, doomsday profit are terms ascribed to people who dare to criticize the existing economic system and speak about the real implications for our people. I dare the most liberal of you to read the following facts, engage in your own fact checking and then not to be able to conclude that the American dream, for most of our people, is dead and buried.

The Average American Is Taking a Beating

It is not just our nation that is taking a beating, our individual financial situations in this country have grown to a crisis level. America is no longer just in a depression. We have entered third world status, a kind of permanent depression, if you will. Yes, we have skyscrapers and modern technology, but only the elite control these resources and the average Americana’ standard of living is in a state of economic free fall.
povertyAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 146 million Americans are either “poor” or “low income”. Stunningly, more than 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government, not including the massive entitlement programs of Social Security or Medicare. The number of people on food stamps has grown to 47.79 million Americans. In 2008, when Obama first took office, only 32 million Americans were on food stamps. Approximately, 20.2 million Americans spend more than half of their incomes on housing, which represents a 46% increase from 2001. Parents under the age of 30 experience poverty rates consisting of 37 percent. The number of Americans living in poverty has grown to one out of every six US citizens. Can you say “turn out the lights, the party is over.”

It No Longer Pays To Go To Work

Of all the facts that serve to describe the economic chaos, there is one fact that stands out among all others.
FOR MOST AMERICANS, IT NO LONGER PAYS TO GO TO WORK FULL TIME. THE AMERICAN DREAM IS DEAD AND BURIED
Ninety million unemployed Americans are no longer even looking for work. The next time you go into DMV, please realize that you are subsidizing a driver’s license for about a third of the people. You are also paying for their health care, food stamps and shelter. And many of these lower class, poverty-stricken “Americans” are living a higher standard of living than you are and this is by design courtesy of Obama’s policies of Marxian social justice and wealth redistribution. If you are a liberal, you are probably fine with giving away your paycheck to people who will not work. If you are over 40, possess common sense, have an IQ higher than room temperature, then you realize that this is national suicide to keep doing what we are doing.

The Numbers Do Not Lie

Wayne Emmerich found that the family breadwinner who works only one week a month at minimum wage makes 92% as much as the breadwinner  grossing $60,000 a year.Emmerich’s stats demonstrate that by working only one week a month  can save a lot of money in child care expense. But topping the list is Medicaid, which is accessible to minimum wage earners and the program has very low deductibles and co-pays. In short, by working only one week a month at a minimum wage job, a minimum wage earner is able to get total medical coverage for next to nothing courtesy of you and me.
The middle class is not as  lucky as the $60,000 breadwinner pays out approximately $12,000 per year in health insurance costs with an addition $4,500 in co-pays. And if anyone in the part-time minimum wage earning family is disabled, SSI pays out an additional $8,088 per year. When one begins to calculate the expenses incurred by a typical breadwinner making $60,000 per year, compared to the part time minimum wage worker, coupled with minimum wage earners tax supported federal bailouts for these freeloaders, the poor have more discretionary income than those who pay the taxes that run the country. And if the part time minimum wage worker is willing to cheat and participate in the underground economy, they will have significantly more discretionary income than their hard-working $60,000 per year counterpart who actually works for a living. In short, if you are a full-time employee making above minimum wage, you paying for your own economic demise. The numbers here suggest that we’d be better off staying home and living off of the labors of what’s left of the middle class.
America is no longer the land of opportunity as the United States is not even in the top ten. In fact, the United States only ranks 20th in terms of overall gross pay! Yet, what we do have is a plethora of young people hopelessly mired in student loan debt when they graduate and a federal government that is more than happy to garnish their wages and, in some cases, even SWAT team them for nonpayment.

Good vs. Evil

I have a question for all liberals who are still drinking from the Obama Kool-Aid; do you really think the banksters are ever going to allow the people to repudiate these debts without a war or the implementation of some  extreme form of martial law crackdown against resistance to the present status quo?
Consistently, this column has proven its dedication to reform and change through nonviolent means. However, the small group of central bankers who have enslaved nearly every country on this planet with insurmountable debt will never let go of this control without a fight.This is why I am advocating for not participating in their bankster controlled institutions (e.g. Bank of America, WalMart, etc.). However, at the end of the day, the obvious bankster counter would be the well known, much anticipated practice of accepting the mark and you will not be able to buy and sell without it. Ultimately, at its root, this is a spiritual war between good and evil. If you do not think that Satan does not have his hand on this situation, then you are not paying attention. The Mark of the Beast is here. It is only a matter of time.

"Don't Shoot the Messenger."

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/

tschuckman@aol.com

Hello Friends,
     "Don't shoot the Messenger ! !"   2nd:   I am the messenger.   Third:  There is a large, bitter Pill to swallow, soon.  
      Dear Friends,  if we were a reasoning, mathematical, group of people who KNEW the bible,  things would be so 'cut and dried' and easy to understand,  the way my pragmatic mind sees it.   No insult intended, please.   The bible plainly speaks about a time when,  The OWG--One World Gov't will be here.   And the Pope is already pushing for a One World Religion, too !  [No offense intended there, either..]   If anything,  true Patriots in the USA will only prolong the inevitable with their Militias, etc [although I love and respect the Vets and Patriots, big time --- as I am one of them!].   It's like a Chess game where your King is threatened in 5 different ways and you have to say the word,  "Check Mate !"   There is no possible way around, a multiple attack of:  an Economic/ Financial Melt Down $$$.   A Societal Change in Morality -- read:  Abortion, the Gay Agenda, no more Marriage in the traditional sense.  The total devaluation of the American Dollar $$$, and other world currencies, except that the "cream always rises to the top." And so there will be winners and losers,  but America will prob. come in slow and low...  sorry.     And the UN  will be dictating that many national troops [prob. the Russians and the Chinese] invade our country as Obama and OUR CONGRESS betrays us [and sold us out long ago], to take away all of our guns ! [Read the term,  FREEDOM- gone!  Period....  because with out  arms to protect our other Rights,  we are TOAST ! !].     Isn't all that just too cute ?   Not....!!    It's a total nightmare for guys like me, who fought to keep this country FREE.  
     Friends, after I got home from Vietnam in 1970,  I was working at Nestle Company, making good chocolate in Burlington, WI., and when I heard on the radio and TV that all we fought for in Vietnam was being given back to the ENEMY, the VC and the NVA,  IT JUST MADE ME SICK, to have sacrificed so many valiant men and arms, to just give it all back....  and the same thing happened when Obama gave back the hard won territories in Iraq and Afghanistan !!   So,  I know how you younger Vets are feeling,  sorry, guys,  I already been in your boots too.    And guess who's  name is already on a list for the FEMA camp....   duh ?  Hey,  It's my big mouth again that sunk my ship.  Yes,  Tommy boy,  what ever you do,  don't speak the truth, what ever  you do.   Just go with the flow, like a dead fish,  Ha!  Well,  I wasn't raised that way,  and I am too opinionated,  but wish I was not.  
      But REAL Christians are not made that way,  sinners that we still are, we are still borne along by the Holy Spirit, to share the Gospel, something folks that go to many churches are chicken and loathe to do,  because they never even read their bibles,  IF  they even hold one.  [but many of those false Christians are so quick to say,  "Tom,  you may know the Bible well,  but you don't have it in your heart....  duh].   How dare they presume to tell me what is in my heart ???  Shame on them !    I guess that is one of the reasons why I didn't get along that well with some ladies I lived with for the past,   sorry.   Perhaps I should havc  just kept my big mouth shut,  like a 'potted plant' in their  houses.  either,  but now I sort of think I should have been.   I had to admit to a friend,  yesterday, that yes,  it still hurts to be betrayed by someone I claimed to love and cherish.    Not to belabor the fact,  but some women are just USED TO going out and spending with no need to spend, other than to burn up a man's money, for the hell of it, or out of spite !     I know that many men are the same way,  but when I had enough of any commodity, we stop spending !   And when people finally go bankrupt,  they learn fast that they DON'T NEED TO SPEND so much.    I pray for day when I no longer hold 'that hurt in my heart' so that I can go on and meet someone else, and not mention that woman in any of my blog posts, or texts, ever again,  but it's only been a month, and I am still licking my wounds....  sorry, folks.  Pray for me to wash that past  out of my system,  but never with whiskey,  because whiskey is my arch enemy, beside the devil, Satan.   But a small cup of red table wine does me good.   Smile.   I won't be donating any more money to a few places either,  as I need to pay off my bills, and in 2 months,  I will finally be on 'higher ground.' 
      OK,  there,  now just carry that thought to a much larger scale...  nationally.  The people who normally get things for free will  have a major crisis when they don't get their goodies from the Gov't [from the working man!] because there just isn't any more money, and then come the riots [right on schedule], Martial Law [just as Obama and Congress planned], and the FEMA camps already on-line with all the planned preparations, guillotines,   including death warrants and re-training, as scheduled, food shortages, and Water Shortages out West, controlled by our Gov't... on purpose,   and even possibly a few EMP's [electro-magnetic-pulse bombs] that will take us all back into the early 1900's, horse and buggy days.   Isn't that cute, too ?   Caution:   Water may be more important than Silver in the near future, especially out WEST ! !  And,  you ain't seen anything yet, folks. [sic]
     Europe is already dead and overrun, and very Socialist right now,  and America is only 2 months away from what happens in Europe.   Do you all see the Big Picture now ?   And figure in that 99% of everyone I meet doesn't even know what a coin of silver or gold look like !   Hey,  one ounce of copper is worth about $2.05, today, right now.  One troy ounce of  Silver is worth about $14., and Gold is about $1160.   But after the SHTF,  all the PM's with jump thru the roof so that the common man can't afford them....  like the expected low end of Silver being worth about $50 per troy ounce, etc.   Now,  you know that there will always exist a so-called,  "Black Market"  and all of the existing 401K's,  IRA's, STOCKS AND BONDS will be raided by our wonderful Gov't,  what's left after the crash.  
       So, just shoot me, a poor, but smart, old, disabled combat warrior, that aches in pain every day, even when the sun shines...  lol.    Now you know why REAL, Saved Christians wish that the Lord would come back soon, if not right now, or tonight while we sleep,  to spirit us away to that "Safe Place" in the heavens somewhere, away from the big storm on earth.    But we are in this fight for the long haul, weather it means we must go to the 'camps' to get beheaded, or starve for a while in cold houses,  or flee into the woods, what ever.   'Death before Dishonor,' is more than a motto, or a tattoo on the arm !   It is our way of life, and the only things that enamors me is the Holy Spirit.   That is where I get all my smarts, head knowledge, strength and courage !   There are few humans right now to help me, and I MUST get used to that,  like right now !!   If you want to know what a beautiful bunch of Scriptures help me like a shot of high powered vitamins and healing herbs,  just read the two Chapter of Psalms 33, and 34 !   For personal reasons,  I am trying to memorize as much scripture as possible, and get into what I consider a 'safe place' South of here by Springtime or a bit latter.   I hope that my close friends pray for that goal to be fulfilled.   But, of course,  Father God, will put me where He wants me.   Just think, no matter how much I try, work, push and force,  God controls everything, including my future.   And that is why Jesus taught His followers to pray for, "God's Will to be done, on heaven, also upon earth."  See:  Matthew 6: 9.   So many Catholics and others pray this majestic prayer.... yet few of them even know where to find it in any bible !!   People will say, "Does it really matter ?" And I will say,  YES IT DOES !!   Read the entire context and find out what it really means, for once in your life !  Duh...
       Yes,  it's so easy to go to some church with all your friends kissing you on the cheek and pressing the flesh, with hugs and pats of the back....   but when your really need a special favor,  they are super busy or out of town, or just hurt their back...  sorry.   And that is exactly what the short article talks about below.  
      My Mom, who still remembers me,  but is suffering from Dementia, and Alsziemers, was just moved to a Nursing home, and now disorientated,  but it could not be helped,  with my sister, Linda, pulling all the weight for years as her caretaker, bless  her soul.   I have to understand that things will be different from now on.   So,  I know that many people have it worse than I do,  but I have plenty on my plate too.  Mom told me that she was lonely all those years alone on the family farm in Racine County, WI., when the rest of us at least were in school and Dad worked in Milwaukee all his life before his heart attack.   I just needed/  felt compelled to joint the Army {NOT run away!} and do something better with my life than shovel manure on Dad's farm...  duh,  LOL ! 
       OK,  Attention, Veterans,  beware of Face Book, as some have said that they were, conveniently, broken into/ hacked by the Chinese and have secured the records of many Veterans which could be used to 'hit them first' in the event of an invasion sponsored by the UN, to remove all our guns, etc.   Just, please CYA, gentlemen.  
     It's a nice foggy, over cast  day U.P. in this frozen tundra about 100 miles North of Green Bay, WI., but it could be 30 below freezing and windy, so PTL. 

Here is a picture of my past wife,  Sharon, who passed away about 6 years ago from CHF...  Congestive Heart Failure, a very GOOD marriage that no one can take away from me.   I loved her very much, and she loved me too.  My son, Andy loved her too.

The love of many waxes cold

Over the past seven years, the "president's" promise of bringing Americans together has failed miserably. The "change" that he sought to accomplish has been to pit Black against White, government authority against citizens, social class against social class, and cultural differences against one another. There has been Islamic-inspired terror and Christians are lectured. There are crimes committed and when police respond, they are demonized. There are the accused and the accusers. There are the citizens and an overpowering government armed with a handful of Executive Orders and legal loopholes. There is frustration mounting at just about every juncture of American society. 

This is both a spiritual condition and a physical condition. When socialism, translated: a form of communism, is instituted as it has been, the soul of a nation is at stake. People may think they are doing the right thing, being more compassionate to others, whatever, by accepting the tax and spend, heavy handed leviathan of socialism in their government. In reality, this is the relinquishing of the soul to idolatry. You see, communism, by virtue of its very own manifesto, "abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience." It attempts to replace God with government. It robs a nation of its very soul.

When we look at the current crop of candidates for President, one a proclaimed socialist; another by her actions, a communist; others various degrees of socialism by virtue of their votes and actions; there is little to choose from that will turn the good ship America back to the safe harbor of Constitutional foundations. The court system has been infiltrated by communists and socialists. Congress is full of people who claim to share America values, but have proven their faith in socialism either by their votes or by their willful inaction to oppose such. There is a dialectic conflict created--this new norm of socialism, and its heavy handed implementation, is in conflict with common sense Americans. 

This creates class warfare--yet another strategy of the Communist Manifesto--to abolish class, abolish marriage, and abolish family. So where are we headed? As Jesus said in Matthew 24:12, "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." If America has a chance, it has to begin with a turn to God and to his law, not the laws and precepts of men who seek to deceive and destroy. It starts with what Jesus said in Mark 12:29, "The Lord our God is one Lord." Our God is not the US government. Jesus continued in verses 30-31: "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these."
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Sorry, Friends,  I don't plan to be on Face/ Book,  anytime soon.  Good Bye.

Facebook Is Providing “Red List” User Date to the Chinese Military In Preparation for NATO Led Martial Law

CSS Offical-New-Logo2


facebook nsa


This just in: FACEBOOK is providing user data to the Chinese military. If the Chinese were to ever be a part of an United Nations peacekeeping/martial law force, this should send chills up and down your spine. This means that as an occupying force, the Chinese would be able to form a naught and nice list with regard to martial law occupation.
It is not far-fetched to believe that the Chinese will someday be a part of an occupation force under the UN flag. The United States government is a signatory to a treaty which will bring in foreign troops to restore order in case of civil unrest. Now, Facebook is providing information  about you and your family to the Chinese military. How do I know? I am coming out with a special report about the Chinese military hacking another critical American institution which also contains the same frightening overtones. That story will be published on Sunday.
Until then, let’s look at some other security risks posed by belonging to Facebook.

Participation on Facebook could prove very dangerous to your future well-being. There is a reason that Facebook is aligned with both the CIA and the NSA. I have several credible sources tell me that all data posted on Facebook goes into series of cataloged files which culminates with each person being assigned a “Threat Matrix Score”. The mere existence of a Threat Matrix Score should send chills up and the collective spines of every American.
facebook internet browses youWhen, not if, martial law comes to America, this Threat Matrix Score, of which Facebook data is used to help compile an “enemies of the state” list, your future longevity could be seriously imperiled. It is too late for people like Steve Quayle, Doug and Joe Hagmann, John B. Wells and myself to avoid being placed on this list. However, it is not too late for the average American to limit their exposure by NOT posting and participating on Facebook. Facebook participation should come with a black box warning:
“WARNING: The views expressed on Facebook can and will be used against you. Participation in Facebook could prove detrimental to the length of your life. All political dissident views are immediately reported to the CIA and the NSA. Risk of repeated exposure on Facebook could result in you and your family being hauled out of their homes at 3AM, separated from your family and sent to a re-education camp”.   
Before you dismiss this hypothetical black box warning as too much “tongue in cheek”, please consider that the NSA is presently extracting large amounts of Facebook data and I do not think they are compiling a Christmas card list.

Facebook’s Welcome Is Wearing Off

facebook 1 zuckerbergMany of us in print and broadcast media are rethinking our association with Facebook. Several of our journalistic brothers and sisters have been censored and/or otherwise treated unprofessionally by this entity. Facebook has become replete with trolls who patrol the cyber corridors of this monolithic entity chastising and censoring whoever exposes the liberal, anti-human, depopulation agenda of the New World Order. Whether it is gun control, criticism of NWO puppet Obama or anything that the alleged grandson of David Rockefeller,  Mark Zuckerberg, and his people disagree with, they will kick your Facebook account to the curb for daring to express a legitimate political opinion.

Hello Dear Friends,
     Right this minute I am hungry, and could really use a good, hot, meal,  but I know that there are others who are much worse off than I am.   "Someone" cleaned out her pantry and got rid of all the canned hot peppers in HER HOUSE,  but kept all the Beef Stew and other goodies that I laid away, for her self,  of course.  Now, there's a "real Christian lady" for you....   Ha!  LOL !   She says that I earn a lot more money than she does....  but I have to pay out 90% of it monthly on existing bills and credit card debt ..... Ha!   Oh well,  hush my mouth.
      No,  my little skirmish is small potatoes compared to whole COUNTRIES that are already gone down that terrible road to national calamity, with more countries to follow soon.   Friends,  Don't shoot the messenger, please !!   Read for yourselves the short article below, and do some serious thinking.    But I am afraid that for many it will be too late to START thinking,  and we should have done that YEARS AGO !   I was a "Prepper" but my current circumstances just got reversed,  as I already "let the cat out of the bag" and too many people know my story...  my humiliating secret of separation.   And that just goes to show you and me that all of a man's good, wisdom and planning can go out the window just from the goofy, crazy whims of a woman.   God will Judge us all,  and I am far from being so pure as the driven snow...  and I know that I am a Sinner.   But we rehashed all of that many times already, and even I am sick of it.   Time to MOVE ON !   Thank God for a close, kind, old friend of mine,  Tim,  who claimed that "God told him to help me out !"   But,  "one hand washes the other," and now I am also helping him out by paying a fair rent, etc.   And I love to teach the younger men and gentlemen all that I have learned in my 66 years of life,  what NOT TO DO, and what to treasure and how to use certain "tools."   I have been bestowed a particular set of talents, skills, knowledge, trades and mechanisms, that I freely share with others,  if I trust them.     I can only imagine how 'some folks' are really ticked off that I didn't already die these past few weeks,  as they misjudged [as usual] my contacts and where with all.   Because one of my main philosophies is to constantly make many connections and reach out to people, who in turn, take care of me.   I know that I 'burned too many bridges,'  but I learned that those 'fair weather friends' wouldn't have lasted long anyway, when there was any opposition.   
      Honestly,  I stay away from retribution and revenge,  but that is God's area of Justice and Power !   If I was so bold as to take vengeance myself,  I would lose God's favor  and approval !   Yes,  that 'Pride thing' is bad for me,  just like Whiskey,  it makes me foolish and stupid !   Better to just have a small cup of red table wine.   

The new, different place that I go to fellowship and worship leans toward humility and a 'contrite heart.'  And that is where I want to be.   Let the crazy, proud crowds push   and shove as they are running off the cliff !  Our goal is to just relax, pray, pray, and pray more, and help those     who have  a humble heart.   And I can just see things now --- into the near future,  that true Christian churches might be forced   to break up into smaller groups to have "House Churches" and meetings in private homes, etc. while being pursued by the Governments, etc.   In fact the book of Matthew says that people will think that they are performing a 'godly duty by killing us !!!'   They won't get much if they kill me,  except maybe a baloney sandwich. 

Have a great day!

What’s Coming Is Here: “Every Economic Indicator Says We Are In Economic Free Fall”

Editor’s Note: For years contrarian analysts, researchers and authors have been blaring the warning signal in an attempt to raise awareness of the impending financial, economic and monetary catastrophe. While central banks and governments around the world threw everything they have at the problem, their only accomplishment is that they were able to kick the can down the road a little bit further. We may now well be at the end of that road, and as Dave Hodges of The Common Sense Show notes in his latest article, perhaps it’s time we stop looking at the problem as an event or set of events that will take place at some point in the future. According to Hodges, “what’s coming is here.”
economic-collapse-consequence
Every Economic Indicator Says We Are In Economic Free Fallby Dave Hodges
Things are much worse that they appear. We are entering a time of unparalleled peril. Economic collapse is here and is underway in many parts of the economy.
“Europe is on the verge of collapse” –George Soros
The architect of the Arab Spring has made a stunning proclamation. In an exclusive interview with a German magazine, George Soros recently stated that the European Union will soon be no more. The EU is imploding before our very eyes. This proclamation comes on the heels of Germany’s answer to President Obama, Angela Merkel, correctly predicted that the EU would be crushed under the weight of Middle Eastern immigration. Merkel, at the same time, has declared de facto martial law in Germany.
soros-hillary
Look who Soros, the architect of national destruction supports for President.
In Germany, people have been evicted from their apartments to make way for the rush of immigrants. In Germany, if people speak out against Muslim immigration on venues, like Facebook, they are subject to fines and arrest.
In contrast, in the United States, Attorney General, Loretta Lynch told journalists from the Independent Media that they would be subject to fines and arrest for discussing Muslim extremism one day after the San Bernardino massacre. As Steve Quayle says, we might have defeated Germany in World War II, but the reality is that the Nazi’s now run both countries, and they are running both countries into the ground.
loretta-lynch
This is the face of a domestic terrorist. She will jail all talk show hosts who speak out against Muslim extremism in the form of ISIS coming into the U.S and carry out acts of terror (eg San Bernardino), but she won’t prosecute those who make threats against Presidential Candidates who are not in line with her version of unscreened Muslim immigrants being let into the country. Isn’t it interesting that Merkel, Obama and Lynch are destroying their respective countries along the same lines? The United States is only a few months behind the Germans.

“The situation is worse than it was in 2007.”
-William White, Swiss economist
William White recently stated that the global financial system faces “an avalanche of bankruptcies” that will test social and political stability. Let’s put that very polite statement into plain English: “There is going to be massive civil unrest”. The projections are so bad, that national authorities are worried the local law enforcement will join in with the people.
Could this have anything to do with why it has been announced that NATO is heading up an international martial law force. This fact was reported by both Infowars and The Common Sense Show this past weekend.
“The collapse could come tomorrow, next week…I do not see it going much beyond March…”
-Economist Joseph Meyer
In a recent interview on The Common Sense Show, Joseph Meyer, from Straight Money Analysis, said he sees a “major readjustment” taking place before the Spring. Will this be America’s Spring.
The Baltic Dry Index
run-aground
The BDI indicates that global shipping is running aground.
No matter when you write these words  “The Baltic Dry Index has hit another record low today….”, your statement will be outdated by midnight of the day that you print these words.
  • “In the last 13 sessions alone, the BDI has hit a new all-time low every day, for each of those 13 days.”
  • “Overnight, drybulk shipping rates, as measured by the Baltic Dry Index, hit a new all-time low, falling 5 pts to 358″.
This is particularly disturbing because the BDI is generally considered to the best economic indicator of global health. The last six months would indicate that the global economy is coming to a complete standstill. How long will food be shipped? How long will life-saving medicine be shipped? Nobody knows for sure, but very few economists are ignoring the inevitable.
Even the mainstream media is beginning to print these dire predictions.
The IMF Is On the Verge of Imposing New Austerity Rules
The ultimate "gold-digger", IMF Director, Christine Lagarde.
As first reported in Forbes Magazine, the director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine LaGarde, dropped a nuclear bomb in its October Fiscal Monitor Report. The report paints a dire picture for high-debt nations that fail to aggressively “mobilize domestic revenue,” which is banker-speak code for “taxing its citizens into oblivion.” This is often a prelude to civil unrest and even civil war.
LaGarde went on to say that private assets will have to be used to monetize the staggering debts faced by the West. Does this mean that more MERS events, in which homes were allowed to be stolen by the Banks, are going to take place? Does this mean the end of all private property?And the very bankers which created this mess, what are they contributing?
The IMF is clearly advocating for a tax on your private savings to pay down government debts after assuming the private debts of the bankers. The IMF also wants to take 10% of your private savings in addition to the outrageous taxes that citizens in the West are paying.
Finally, there will never be a payoff of the debt. Forbes Magazine went on to say the following:
Such a repudiation of private property will not pay off Western governments’ debts or fund budgets going forward. It will merely “restore debt sustainability,” allowing free-spending sovereigns to keep tapping the bond markets until the next crisis comes along—for which stronger measures will be required, of course.”
Can you grasp the meaning of what is being said here? The globalists are telling you that we can never pay off the debt. All we can hope to do is to maintain a debt based economy that will not come crashing down on the next morning.
Five Questions
  1. Do you have two years of survival food available?
  2. Do you have seeds to replace the food?
  3. Do you have an adequate supply of water and water filters?
  4. Do you have firearms and do you know how to use and maintain them?
  5. Have you converted your soon-t0-be worthless cash to previous metals?
I am no longer writing about what’s coming, what’s coming is here.

A "New Place."

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/

tschuckman@aol.com



 


Hello Dear Friends,
     I was invited to visit/ attend a new House of Worship this morning, and found that it was an easy walk from my truck at the labeled  disabled place, to the worship area/ chamber, and comfortable enough,  but I got there a bit early [that old, nasty Army discipline habit,  grrrrrr...  lol, or hurry up -- and wait...Ha!].   The membership was so swelled that they have 2 worship meetings in the morning, but that's good, IMO.   I held my water all thru that nice meeting, and also took some important notes home with me, and also felt like I made some new friends, too.    "The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;   and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."   ---Psalm 34: 18.   That, and a few other scriptures struck me strongly, and also brought tears to my eyes,  along with memories from the past when I experienced like worship services down near Kenosha, WI.   I also met a lady named, Diane, who told me that she was in my very own shoes some three years ago, too, so she knew what I was going thru.   And it occurred to me that someone else who had inflicted so much pain upon me, at the same time ----felt no sorrow or remorse for having ripped up my spirit and relative peaceful nature,  and she surely did NOT have either a 'broken heart, nor a contrite spirit,'   but just a deep seated, hostile and greedy nature.  
      Well,  people who know me will admit that PATIENCE was never one of my best attributes, nor 'fruits of the Spirit,'   LOL !  Pray, practice, and beg as I may,  patience is one grace that escapes me, although I might be getting a tiny bit better at it.  
     But planning for disasters, Prepping for the worst, and making safety nets and parachutes become me.   I am not crazy about cats,  but 'landing on my feet' ought to be my saving grace, even as I am old enough to save some important "tools"/ skills,  habits,   for survival and longevity.  
      On the way home from church I bought some KFC -- fried chicken and coleslaw,  but I think that they cheated me out of my 2 biscuits !   There is always something, isn't there, to mess up an otherwise good day.... albeit cloudy and foggy.    I was bored with repeats on TV, afterward, so I am on my PC [Personal Computer] on the kitchen table, right now.   Now,   if you ever ask ANYONE where   you might meet new people, to ask out for coffee or lunch,  they will say,  "I don't know."   But there has got to be some way to find others in your age group, or someone who is lonely.   Every Jack needs a Jill....      I think that half of the Internet dating sites are prob a rip off,  but that's just my own opinion.  
   And next week I need to remember to wear BLACK SOCKS with my black dress pants, to church....  duh.    Lord,  thank YOU for the few friends U.P. here that I do have who straighten and organize my clothes, etc., and keep my rented property tidy !  Amen. 

Another possibility could be that the Lord doesn't want me to get messed up with another relationship right now, because the Rapture is right around the corner, and perhaps He wants to "Use" me in some way to further the Gospel.    Time to save some money, and also pay off some debts now, and that calls for staying single for a while, at least.

But,  let us stop this discussion about ME  for a minute and consider what God wants, or how His Plan will work out... [and my days are so full now that I get tired early and just want to go to bed and sleep...  lol.].
      People are complaining about Europe, Germany, Sweden and the crude hordes of Middle East invaders raping and plundering those countries, plus Obama's illegal dumping of Middle Eastern Islamists here in the USA during the cover of night, etc.,   Many Patriots are saying,  "Just wait for the elections this coming Fall and the 'change of the Guard' to Conservative thinking again."   But will this system of things just continue to keep going to the point of total collapse, economic, and otherwise ???   I certainly think that is VERY POSSIBLE, people !!   The world economy is hanging on by a thread right now, anyway, and just look at the first part of 2016 and the Stock Market !  
       {I came back later to delete the last paragraph, as a favor to 'someone,'  and I also need to show more restraint on the matter....  sorry.}

Warm Regards,
Tom

China's Central Bank Plans to Launch Its Own Digital Currency

(CNBC)—China's central bank wants to launch its own digital currencies to cut the costs of circulating traditional paper money and boost policymakers' control of money supply, the People's Bank of China said on Wednesday.
A PBOC research team set up in 2014 to look into digital currencies should make preparations for launches, according to a central bank statement posted on www.pbc.gov.cn.
"The team...should set up a clearer strategic target for launching digital currencies, overcome the key technological barriers...and aim for an early launch of the central bank's digital currencies," the PBOC said.
Virtual currencies can also help boost transparency of economic activities and curb money laundering and tax evasions, it added....

Hi Friends,
     Did you ever think that this "system is geared to beat  you down no matter what you do."   Well, it seems that we are not too far away from the truth, friends.   If we consider the News down in the article below,  it seems to me like a "rigged system" and no wonder folks who are a little 'outspoken' are picked out by the IRS and messed with !   Not good.  
      Well, on the other hand, are we to be 'Mice, or Men ??'   I choose to be a man, no matter what some 'people' may think or call me.   Especially when I insist that they pay their own way in life....  instead of me carrying them on my back [free loaders that they are, lazy and greedy... lol] for many years.   Ha!  No more "Free Lunch" ---Sweetie Pie !   It's time to pay the Piper, Honey !   And you will surely find out,  "That if you mess with a Bull --- you will certainly GET THE HORN."   Now,  isn't that cool ?  
     And, along with getting all sorts of great, free 'wisdom' and admonishments from every creature that crawled out from under a rock,  someone else just called me a few minutes ago, to remind me of my sorted past of not being the best father in the world,  and she was just too happy to recount all my mistakes in life,  just in case I somehow forgot... lol.   Isn't that cool, too !?   Smile.   So what am I to do with all this great, FREE, advice ?  Write a Book !   OK,  I might as well make money from my endeavors.  
     OK, friends,  not to worry,  I was just having a little fun this Saturday morning.   It's good to laugh at oneself, me thinks.   And I will, and usually do take other people's advice anyway,  even if I make light of it in the beginning....   although,  "misery loves company,"  and some folks just cannot resist,  'Kicking someone when he is down.'  And I also know that some of my "friends" tell me that I have made promises in the past... and broke them too many times.   However,  I can't forget how those so-called "friends" of Job, in the Bible gave him so much 'great advice,'  but were later admonished by the Lord.   So, how many people know what the word,  "admonished,"  really means ??   Without looking it up,  just email the answer to me, please.   And my 'blog data system' also tells me how many and what location most of my readers come from,  so if it's only 18 --- 56 people that commonly read this humble blog,  I will know,  because I sometimes check out of curiosity. 

Well,  It looks like I won't have time to get to the bank this Saturday morning, only one hour left,  and I wanted to take a shower, first.   Oh well,  I also wanted to have a great half pound Hamburger at the local, "Thirsty Whale" right here in the small town of Norway, MI,  which is about the only place to get some hot food.... Ha!

Have a great day!

Tom






January 22nd, 2016



This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
  It is a rare day when I agree with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Yet on this week's program, I agree with them twice! The ACLU is concerned about a new program recently instituted by the government of China. It is designed to encourage compliance with the Communist regime. In a few years, though, it will enforce compliance with the regime. Today, it is voluntary. By 2020, it will be mandatory. In China, everyone has an identity card. Using that card, computers will automatically track all data on every citizen, assigning each one a "credit score." That sounds innocent enough. In the United States, most of us have credit scores, too. But in the U.S., our credit score is only a measure of our ability to repay financial obligations. In China's new program, the "credit score" will also measure an individual's compliance with government programs and propaganda. If someone buys the kinds of items that help the economy -- like a major appliance or a product or service encouraged by the regime -- his credit score goes up. The Chinese system will also monitor all posts on social networks (like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). If one's post mentions something the government wishes to discourage, his credit score goes down. For instance, a mention of "Tiananmen Square," the chaos in the stock markets, or China's economic downturn will lower a person's credit score. If a Chinese citizen's friend mentions something "out of line" in a personal social communication, both their credit scores go down. In China, a lower "credit score" means no promotion at work and that means less income. The combination of less income and less credit severely limits a person's ability to buy a house or an apartment. It may consign families to poorer neighborhoods or smaller units. It will directly affect the quality of a person or his family's health care. In other words, non-compliance will limit a Chinese citizen's ability to buy. Sound familiar? Revelation13:16-17 describes a time in the future when a world governor will institute a program that will restrict a person's ability to buy or sell based on his compliance with the government. By the way, the ACLU is concerned about the possibility that this program may work its way to the United States. (My second point of agreement with them!) Here in America, the government is not tracking your purchases to assess your compliance with its wishes. Yet. But many branches of law enforcement here are now using software that analyzes arrest reports, property records, commercial databases, deep Web searches, and social-media postings to calculate a person's threat level. It assigns something called a "threat score." Based on your "threat score," law enforcement officers can make decisions on how to deal with you. It's called "predictive policing." Actually, the IRS has used similar profiling for years to determine how it wants to deal with certain organizations of which it may or may not "approve." Of course, how a "credit score" or a "threat score" is ascertained is based entirely upon the prejudices of the person or organization programming the software that makes that determination. In other words, whoever is in charge. Today, the Chinese regime or the police department. Tomorrow, the Antichrist or the False Prophet? It's getting closer, folks. The 2016 Olympic Games don't take place until late summer this year. But the Iranian Games have already started. Within days of Implementation Day for the Iran Nuclear Agreement (JCPOA) and the release to Iran of more than a hundred billion dollars in frozen assets (and other juicy perks), Iran captured two U.S. Navy Riverine Command Boats that were "disabled" in the Persian Gulf. They only held the sailors for a day (enough time to shoot some propaganda video) before releasing them. Secretary of State John Kerry thanked the Iranians for being such good guys and helpful world citizens by "rescuing" our hapless seamen. He even gloated about how differently the Iranians would have handled it just four or five years ago -- before he and President Obama worked their magic. Then a few days later, the Iranians magnanimously released some innocent American hostages they had been holding for years in polite exchange for some Iranian criminals incarcerated in the U.S. Coincidentally, on the same day the IAEA announced that Iran is in compliance with the terms of the nuclear agreement and the money was released and the sanctions were lifted and the world was happy again -- all in just a few hours. It all happened so quickly and, in some ways, quietly, that many people didn't grasp what was happening. Most of the events smelled fishy and didn't quite jibe with what the authorities said publicly. But no matter. Iran, the world's premier state sponsor of terrorism, has a hundred billion dollars in cash, access to world banking, the authority to earn billions more selling its oil, the ability to make business contracts with anyone it wishes, and the freedom to send its henchmen worldwide again. Oh, and the world's blessing to continue working toward nuclear weapons with which to attack us and destroy Israel. All in all, mission accomplished, President Obama and Secretary Kerry. Of course, in his recent State of the Union address, the President downplayed the notion that there even is a war on terror. If he acknowledged its reality, it might be difficult to explain why he keeps releasing dangerous, "high risk" terrorists from the Guantanamo Bay prison where they are being held. Finally, if you're an American, you are at war. Your street may not appear to be a "war zone," but it is a target, nonetheless. Iran has declared it a target. North Korea has declared it a target. ISIS has declared it a target. And that doesn't include the numerous criminals and gangs who are doing their best to take control of your street and your life. Only God's grace and the diligence of the U.S. military and law enforcement keep most of us from regularly experiencing terror's war on us, but it lurks there all the time. Another kind of war also surrounds us. It involves us in battle everyday, whether we like it or not. It's a spiritual war. And the war zone is not your nation or your neighborhood. It's your body, mind, and spirit. And you cannot opt out of this war. On this week's program, I'll share with you how to effectively prepare yourself to fight and win "The Universal War."
