Be a blog "Follower" -regular reader of my Blog ! Just click...
Darlene Zschech - Shout To The Lord
Friends, First off, I need to draw your attention to the "new" feature on my Blog [thanks to Krissy for helping me]. On the right side of the format is an area for visitors to become one of my "followers" --and there by get my latest blog posts zapped right into their own mail box every time I post !
Most everyone is unhappy with the way AOL Journals kicked us out and left us in a quandary to figure things out for ourselves. It has been a royal pain in the neck! Some of us are quicker to catch on to this new operation/ web site. I am JUST an average guy--not a main brain, technical guy, and I depend on my patience, experience and friends to get me over the hump. To them I say THANK YOU!
In my personal case suffering from depression, PTSD, many times I just get in a 'funk', a rut, a sour mood that doesn't help anybody I came in contact with. So I have developed a regimen to jerk myself out of those foul moods, out of the sour "poor me" mentality and mind set. Some may called it a "chill pill" or a new lease on life. Daily contact with the Bible, like reading Psalms, Proverbs, etc will brighten my outlook. Going to church regularly and seeing my true friends [brothers and sisters in Christ] and prayer really helps too. But I seem to get into a 'new kick' [that fires up my heart and soul] like recently getting back into guitar. I just LOVE music-- but now days MOST of it is God-dishonoring trash or Satanic-- but there are still some good, quality, happy songs/ music. Music takes my mind off my own problems and can be used to cheer up myself and others. It also can be used to honor, praise and worship the Lord!
As so many of you fine folks have helped to cheer me up so many times with kind, warm comments on my blog posts and personal emails/ letters -- I want to reciprocate and give back--- return the kindness and joy. This is one of the main reasons for my on-line Journal; I consider it part of my Christian ministry, or sorts, much like going 'door to door' sharing the Good News of God's Kingdom!
As I was listening last night before bed to a Christian radio, WVCY 107.7 FM about 9:10 PM, a soft spoken gentleman was saying that we should all be praying hard concerning the coming presidential election. Regarding prayer the bible tells us that we servants of God should prayer over many matters, but even the 'righteous' won't always get their prayers answered or what they want! God surely knows what is best for us and what is hurtful for us in the long run! Only He knows if the last 'signs of the end times' have all been fulfilled. No matter what WE may think or want - God just plain knows IF the world is ready for JUDGMENT or not ! I surely don't know what is going to happen [obviously, mere human that I am...duh]! But just like Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane before he was betrayed at Mark 14: 36 "And He was saying, Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what YOU will." Yes, we must understand that if the most Liberal 'abortion man' gets elected-- God may be planning to loose His terrible judgment on all mankind after His servants have been preaching far and wide all these years and the Bible news just falls on deaf ears and the world grows more wicked and immoral every day.
I am writing this post not to scare anyone or be a defeatist -- but to prepare my friends, fellow believers and readers of ALL possibilities and the probable out come that must EVENTUALLY come to pass as God Himself warned. We are positively voting for McCain-- but we surely recognize that GOD'S WILL trumps ever thing else in the world of imperfect mankind.
And now to help Sharon clean the house.... Ha!
Become one of my blog 'followers' [regular readers] today-- it's so simple and takes about 5 seconds!

This good, fine Fall type of paradise Wisconsin weather won't last forever! But we will take it.
I just don't know why I have been in a good, joyful, thankful state of mind lately-- but I'll take it. I don't know who is going to win the election on Nov. 4th -- but I will HAVE to take it too. I am doing my level best to spread a conservative combat Veteran's philosophy/ mind set concerning protecting America in it's greatest challenge for survival with so many enemies who want to crush us any way they can-- but if it's going to be God's Will --- I'll take it. I know that with most of the world they will vote for the bottom line-- MONEY $$$, and how much they can get from a certain candidate, [B. Hussein Obama] how many hand outs and entitlements if they are too darn lazy to educate themselves and WORK for a living.
Well, my type of hard work ethic, Christian warrior may becoming extinct-- and if that is so we might just conclude that the heavenly Father above has also had a 'belly full' of this immoral, baby killing, God-hating society that much resembles ancient Sodom and Gomorrah and the violent time just before the Noahian flood. For most worldly people, God is not even in the equation! You know that the God of the Bible can be worked out and banished from a country or region in just ONE GENERATION?? God is loving, merciful and Just-- but He is also a Jealous God with righteous indignation and Anger. He has PROMISED to vindicate His name and clean up the world by erasing the wickedness in one big sweep.. and soon! Yet, most humans don't care, but laugh in derision at that prospect.
So, now on the eve of the great election in the USA, what ever/ who ever the people elect, IMHO [in my humble opinion] -- my God is and will be in control. I figure that no matter who wins-- this gigantic, colossal mess of immorality and economic woe will just be too much for any human to "fix."
My wife and I, and most likely 99% of our church members will vote for the McCain/ Palin ticket, because they are the guardians of unborn life in the womb, one man - one woman marriage, respecters of the Constitution, the 1st and2nd Amendments and other good things that protect our way of life and freedom. They are far from perfect and I actually strongly disagree with some of McCain's past actions and ideas. But that is the way I see things, and perhaps his short time in office will provide a little more time to reach more people and share with them the wonderful promises of God, in the Bible. That is all I wish to say in this public forum today.
Have a wonderful say before the snow comes!
Enjoy that cool, funny song I inserted above.

AWANA at Church on Wednesday nights.
After the adults prayer meeting was over I walked over to see the closing moments of AWANA, and the kids were so very unruly, rude and ill mannered and loud. With all due respect, this has been a real source of concern for most of the AWANA workers and helpers. And on the bus ministry that our church/ pastor started, some of the kids from the ghettos have verbally abused our leaders, drivers and staff with very COURSE, vulgar, language and cursing/ fighting! The pastor continues to ask the staff to be firm but patient and kind to the ghetto kids because their souls are on the line. He keeps telling the workers and staff that they are only "kids."
As you all know, I like and respect the pastor and obey him in all things that are biblically lawful. I know he has the best interests of everyone at heart. But I, personally could/ would NEVER volunteer for that teaching position, even though many say that I am a good teacher, and the pastor has acked for more muchneeded volunteers-- because I will just not tolerate such misbehavior/ mischief. Actually, some of the kids are sent home and asked never to return--as they are so bad with dirty, disrespectful mouths and habits. But some of them regardless of race are very nice and eager to learn and memorize the scriptures and love Jesus. My wife cracks the whip and stands for no foolishness... lol.
I guess that some of us just don't have the temperament for AWANA, etc, and many times it amounts to an hour of 'babysitting' while the parents are 'goofing around,' doing drugs, drinking, etc, and we all know that. Another 'sign of the times.' Oh well...
I wish I had more energy because our house is so messy and my wife lets everything stack up to the ceiling and procrastinates. I have another close friend who's wife is an immaculate house cleaner but she is so hard to get along with... lol. I would NEVER want a perfect wife-- because then she would only MAGNIFY all MY imperfections... Ha! I think that most men would be very satisfied with an average hard working woman who likes flowers, candy, a good rub down/ massage for her aching muscles, a pedicure and taken out for a good T-bone steak once a week...
Woo Hoo!! Dream on --Dream on--Dreamer...
Tomorrow morning I have to drive to Milwaukee VA to pick up some late meds. They are NOT reliable all the time...but then that's the VA and we are only disabled combat Veterans. If Obama wins-- we can expects things to get worse. Good Night.

The "Bakken Formation."
Ever heard of the Bakken Formation?
GOOGLE it or follow this link. It will blow your mind. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911
The U.S. Geological Service issued a r eport in April ('08) that only scientists and oilmen knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota; western South Dakota; and extreme eastern Montana ... check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.
'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.' says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.
'This sizable find is now the highest-producing onsho re oil field found in the past 56 years,' reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada. For years, U.S.oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough ha s opened up the Bakken's massive reserves... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 41 years straight.
2. [And if THAT didn't t hrow you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO, people!]
U.S.Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World!
Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006 Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush
mandated its extraction.
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:
-8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
-18-times as much oil a s Iraq
-21-times as much oil as Kuwait
-22-times as much oil as Iran
-500-times as much oil as Yemen- and it's all right here in the
Western United States.
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this!? Because the democrats, environmentalists and left wing republicans have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil.
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels. Untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.
Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to.
[Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you're thinking about it ... and hopefully P.O'd, do this:
3. Take 10 minutes and compose an e-mail; fax or good old-fashioned letter to all your friends and associates. Alert them to the fact that democrats and 'liberal' republicans have been and will continue to obstruct all plans to make America independent of foreign oil. The only solution is to vote all democrats and Marxist oriented republicans out of office.
If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices .. because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your right to complain.

I bought a new guitar.
I bought a new guitar!
Some one recently asked why I set the size of my text so large-- and I said it's because some of my friends' eyesight is getting worse with age-- and mine too.. lol.
But the last post was WAY TOO BIG.. and I apologize for that. Here is a good idea for those who can't see that well, from Yasmin: www.odiogo.com Check it out and share! Thank you, Yasmin.
I had a great day again and had a few short chores to do, then I went to visit a friend of mine to see his guitar. He said it was a beginner's, starter guitar [cheap] and when he told me the cost, i said, 'let's go and check them out at the music store.' So we did and I got that nervous feeling in my stomach-- when I am about to lay out some money, more then I really want to spend... lol. I ended up buying a nice solid body, electric GUITAR and Fender Amp. I thought, 'how am I going to explain this to my wife?' I make 90% of the income in our house hold-- but I still feel guilty... and I preach about saving money for hard times, etc... Ha!
But Sharon was excited and happy I bought the instrument! So I am 'off the hook' --and it wasn't too much money, relatively speaking. My buddy and I intend to learn a few Christian Hymns and perhaps play at church in the future if the pastor agrees. When I called my mom and told her about my new guitar she said it was a wonderful idea that would be much better than watching TV in the Winter months ahead. Actually,she bought a nice guitar for my dad about 50 some years ago and they used to play and sing as we kids would listen in awe and wonder. Dad even taught me guitar cords and some country and 'Old German Songs, etc.' Well, when I got to be a high school Junior, my parents bought me a small guitar for Christmas and latter I bought better equipment and played rhythm guitar and sang in 2 small, unknown rock 'n roll bands before I joined the Army in 1967 and made a few bucks. My youngest daughter, Sarah, studied the Viola as a child in grade school and we even played a a few tunes together. I love music anyway-- and my mom says that I should "make my own kind of music." Well, it's nice to see that mom is in good humor today... and that made me feel good too.
The guitar and Amp will be my Christmas present-- and I pleaded with my wife NOT to buy me anything more. I just don't put a lot of stock in all the Christmas material, commercial going's on and every year they start a few weeks earlier! And IMHO, I think that the majority of people now days could care less about the Lord Jesus Christ and His birth. It just gives them another excuse to party down, get drunk and immoral... like everything else. Not to be negative, but I get sick watching the early commercial aspect to the Holidays and buy, buy, buy.. and get into debt over something that they don't even believe in! I call them hypocrites and liars with the Santa Claus thing, instead of telling them the TRUTH by reading the Bible to their kids. And then their kids are "conditioned" to think that their parents must not love them if they don't get their fav. presents--even though their parents maynot be able to afford them. I just think the TRUTH would go a long way.
I am going to go to bed for a GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP in our cozy warm bed... Woo Woo! Sharon is upstairs sewing on a few Veteran patches on my new chamois shirts that just came in the mail. I think that I will take her out for a late super of Spaghetti at a great Italian restaurant after church tomorrow evening to thank her for her hard, kind work. She loves that!
I know that my fingers will take a while to limber up and grow callouses so the hard steel strings won't hurt and cut my pea pickin' finger tips. But I know how to focus and practice often to get back to speed. I feel like a kid again!
Now my wife got the bug and is being more serious about her own keyboard practice [I bought her a nice piano/ organ key board last Christmas], but she was depressed when her teacher left for another state, and Sharon is kind of lost now and looking for a new instructor.
We are very blessed in our 'humble hovel' in small town, Wisconsin, America... amid all the lay-offs and hard times. The Spancrete company in IL where my brother and his 2 sons work at that concrete factory is closing it's doors permanently very soon. My brother, Albert, has over 34 years and will retire, but his sons probably will never earn the big paychecks that they used to in Chrystal Lake, Illinois. Been there-- done that. Not fun at all to be unemployed. And the beat goes on.

Below is a compilation of articles received on Barak Obama. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Interesting website: www.obamacrimes.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why I Can't Vote For Obama By Huntley Brown Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it's worth repeating... > > First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him. > > Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He leads I follow. I can't dictate the terms He does because He is the leader. > > I can't vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian because that's who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I won't be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior. > > In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter. > > We need to follow Martin Luther King's words, don't judge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don't know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007. > > NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008) > > To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with. > > There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100 % rating. There is a reason the homosexual community supp orts him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him. There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court. There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion. There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue. > > Let's take a look at the practice he wanted to continue > > The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures: > > A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps. (Remember this is a live baby) > B. The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal. > C. The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head. > D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole. > E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed. > > God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law. > > Think about this: You can't give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane. > > There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years. > > Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 2 0 years. Now he is condemning Wright's sermons. I wonder why now? > > Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 - 20 'Go and make disciples of all nations.' This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you; talk like you believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him? > > Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets that said they have a ... > > 1. Commitment to the White Community > 2. Commitment to the White Family > 3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic > 4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community. > 5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions > 6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System > 7. Personal commitment to emb racement of the White Value System. > > Would you support a President who went to a church like that? > > Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama's former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been marching outside. > > This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can't be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world. > > A church can't have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if it?s a white church or a black church it's still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote. > > Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: 'Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. > > Cone is the man Obama's mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this? > > So what does all this mean for the nation? > > In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing - judgment. > > Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 'Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.' > > Then God says > > 1 Samuel 1:18 ' When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.' 19 B ut the people refused to listen to Samuel. 'No!' they said. 'We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.' 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, 'Listen to them and give them a king.' > > Here is what we know for sure. > > God is not schizophrenic > > He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God. > > Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it. > > For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of pa rtial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because of the economy. > > I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama's positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends. > > Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation, > > 1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation? > > 2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation? > > > Blessings, Huntley Brown > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Obama's Trip to Grandma's House Has a Detour thru the Hawaii Supreme Court?? By Informed Lawyer - Posted on October 21st, 2008 If you are deeply saddened by Obama's need to take two days off from a VERY close and heated election race to visit his deathly ill grandmother, fear no more! Word has it that grandma will indeed recuperate. The problem may actually be with Obama. You see, it appears that "An hour or so before Obama’s announcement, conservative commentator and Obama critic Andy Martin was scheduled to file an emergency petition with the Hawaii Supreme Court to “release Barack Obama’s family records,” including his “birth certificate and related records.” (No additional information at this time.)" See: Curmudgeonly Skeptical Blog at: http://curmudgeonlyskeptical.blogspot.com/2008/10/colb.html "Martin alleges that the public should have access to the complete file of Barack Obama’s birth records, that we have a constitutional right to satisify ourselves as to a candidate’s qualifications for public office. In his emergency motion to the Hawaii Supreme Court Monday, Martin, representing himself, argues two valid points: First, that “the authenticity and contents of a presidential candidate’s birth certificate is at the apex of First Amendment concerns.” And second: “….If Obama has posted a version of his birth certificate (on his website), it would appear he has waived any privacy issues…” See: TD Blog at: http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/obama-goes-to-hawaii/ ------------------------------------ Barack Hussein Obama II By Judah Benjamin It has been asserted by a number of sources, including Andy Martin, that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Mombassa, Kenya and not in Hawaii. Philip Berg's Latest Motion to the Court is more explicit since it gives an exact Place of Birth. I must assume that Berg did not simply pluck the Location out of thin air, Mombassa has more than one Hospital, though Coast Provincial General was the best in 1961. British Birth Certificates have a Standard Format which has been more or less the same since 1837 and they can only be challenged in a British Court. Kenyan Law is explicit and can only be challenged in a Kenyan Court. Indonesian Law is explicit and can only be challenged in an Indonesian Court. Be clear, if Obama was born in Kenya this is not simply a matter for the US Courts, or US Law. If he was born in Kenya, and his parents were Legally Married [which on the Preponderance of Evidence they were, his father's first "Marriage" being a Tribal, or Village, Marriage, which was not Legally Recognized] due to the age of his mother he would NOT have been a US Citizen. The Immigration and Nationality Act 1952, 8 U.S.C. 1401. Sec. 301 (g) [Effective November 14, 1986] does not apply, nor does Title III, Immigration and Nationality Act Section 309. [8 U.S.C. 1409]. Unless he has taken the Oath of Allegiance as a Naturalized Citizen since he was 18 years old, and if he was born in Mombassa, Kenya, Barack Hussein Obama II would not be a US Citizen, period. The issue of whether or not he was Natural Born under Article II of the Constitution of the United States would cease to matter and he would need to be Deported as an Illegal Alien. Impeachment as a Senator would seem not to be necessary since he would never Legally have been one, but Diane Feinstein and the members of the Senate Ethics and Rules Committee would be liable to Impeachment. So would their opposite numbers in the Illinois Senate and the appropriate officials of the Illinois State Supreme Court and Bar, so far as I can see. If Senator Barack Hussein Obama II was born in The Coast Provincial General Hospital at Mombassa in Kenya at 7.24 PM on August 4th 1961, or at any other time, he is not a Natural Born Citizen of these United States and he never was. Philip J Berg, Esq, is correct, under the Nationality Act of 1940, as Revised June 1952 and in accord with United States of America vs Cervantes-Nava 281 F 3d 501 (2002) and Drozd vs INS, 155 F 3d 81, 85-88 (2d Circuit 1998). Senator Barack Hussein Obama II would not ever have been a Legal US Citizen at all, unless he was Naturalized. If he was born in The Coast Provincial General Hospital at Mombassa in Kenya any Certificate, or Certification of Live Birth, issued for him by the State of Hawaii is a Fraudulent and Illegal Document. At Birth he would have been a UK and Colonies Citizen and in accord with the Kenyan Constitution he would have become a Kenyan Citizen in December 1963. He would not have been a US Citizen. Alternatively, his UK and Colonies Birth Certificate issued in Mombassa in August 1961 could be a Fraudulent and Illegal Document. The two BCs would need to be compared. By this I mean the Original Vault Copy of the Hawaiian Birth Certificate and not the Amended, Post Adoption, Copy, Legally available to the Senator, assuming he was, as indicated by the Preponderance of Evidence, Adopted by Lolo Soetoro. This case might also need to go through the UK and Kenyan Courts and becomes a Matter of International Law and Controversy.

More Welding today in chilly WI weather. Brrr.
Since my close friend has entrusted me with some personal things today as a fellow Vietnam combat Vet and Christian brother-- I will only speak about the stuff that I consider OK... We took our time this morning getting started at 0900 at the church garage again, and today was very windy and cold, about 37 F., and we both should have dressed a bit warmer. We are both about the same age, I am age 59. Bro. Marvin [one of the many names I call him-- and we love to joke around and kid each other] seemed to have much on his mind so I MADE time for him-- and we ae both retired from Chrysler. Marv just felt the need to take a sit down break and talk to me and clear the air about the past, etc.
There was a lot on his mind about the past and his insight/ observations/ past fears/ nightmares and problems. I didn't know that he contracted Malaria over in 'Nam, and also used to be very heavy! Now he is skin and bones, about 6 ft tall, but malaria whittled him down, plus he suffers from Emphysema and COPD. His doctors say that he has already out lived their projected 5 years.. and he knows that he is living on borrowed time and looks forward to Heaven. Stuff like this has always bothered me and angered me-- that every time I finally get to meet and like another person, they either die, leave, move and I have lost them some how! Or perhaps, God is using me in a small way to walk into their lives and help, encourage and listen to their problems, pray for them/ with them and share the grand hopes of the Bible, God's Word. We biblical Christians and combat Vets seem to have a peaceful out look on Death and eternal life.
As we go on with life and Witness to others about God's salvation where ever our paths may take us, we recognize that this is the finest labor/ work that we can do for the Lord--- WITNESS! The 'fruitage of the Lips.'
I agreed to help Marvin with his new claim to the VA for another service-connected disability, PTSD [100%], and I believe that if he gets it, he will only pay off his bills to help his wife survive and gain a tiny bit of dignity before he goes to meet the Lord. We both prayed and confessed our many sins of the past to each other and expressed some guilt. But I kept reminding him that he [ we] are already forgiven and should NOT feel any more guilt-- but just try not to make the same mistakes [me too, of course...lol]. Both dodging bullets in Vietnam, and missiles from Satan afterward, we know the mercy of Jesus Christ, our personal Savior.
Actually, just writing this post is getting me too emotional and misty with some regret. I may have a way with words but it rough on the soul to be dredging up the proper words that best express my feelings and thoughts. I have a number of buddies like Marvin and they all tell me they love and pray for me too! God has blessed me-- and I see His purpose more clearly now.
It is my personal opinion that who ever wins this coming election in America will have inherited a wild tiger and a world mess, and NO HUMAN CAN CHANGE THIS FOR THE BETTER-- as it is too little/ too late. The world as a whole, generally speaking, has REJECTED Jesus Christ and are hell bent to continue their greed, corruption, God hating, selfish, prideful, wicked ways. They are steeped in gross immorality, abortions, the Gay agenda and violence. We are RIPE for the Lord's mighty sword of vindication and JUSTICE. My wife and I are voting for the McCain/ Palin ticket-- the lesser of 2 evils, but even if John does win-- he is pulling/ working against a loaded deck of far Lefty, Dems agenda with the majority in both houses! He would be a 'lame duck' from the get go.
Friends, in all this confusion and total mess, we can still TRUST in the promises of God's Word, the bible. We are not left alone in the 'Lion's Den' but we must continue to do the Lord's work and stay as close to Him as possible in these 'end times.' I guess that there are many other web sites like mine-- but if you ever want to just sit down and talk... I will be here for you. Bless all my feinds and believers!
Warm Regards,
Tom

This just got worse -this is my post this AM at www.hadit.com as to
latest VA Watchdog story-
"On October 22, 2008, the New York State Division of Veterans'
Affairs held a Counselor Refresher Training Seminar at Stewart Air
National Guard Base in Newburgh, NY. Early in the meeting a New York
VARO representative, who gave his name as John B., said problems
found by VAOIG were improper entry dates on documents and improper
procedures. John B. stated 20,000 pieces of mail were not opened and
paperwork files were not collated or properly attended to.
Apparently, this had been going on for some time."
full story at the Watchdog link-
Source :http://www.vawatchd og.org/08/ nf08/nfoct08/ nf102708- 1.htm
Larry Scott said it all this morning:
"And, it's time for more VA employees to come forward with
information to help the VBA and VAOIG, and the veterans they serve.
Can one person make a difference? Remember, this entire shredder
scandal story started with just one VA employee in Detroit who cared
enough to do the right thing."
Doing the right thing is what will help resolve this problem.
VBA employees are actually posting on the comment section at Watchdog
and other vets sites-anonymously-
while I applaud their willingness to confirm what we claimants have
known for years-and of course who really knows if they are a RO
employee or not-
the unsung hero of this whole story is a Detroit VARO employee who
had enough and was brave enough to come forward.
Jim Strickland -VA Watchdog -will be my guest at SVR on November 5th.
By then it will probably be worse-
Any vet or widow with active denied claims whose evidence was Never
considered by the VA should send the VA (and the OIG too) a letter
demanding that in light of the recent news, they want their evidence
found and properly assessed for their claim.
Of course this isnt to replace a formal NOD (but you could throw this
into a formal NOD)
Vets and widows have never had this power before to demand that their
ignored evidence be properly assessed by the VA.
and they should write to
House Committee on Veterans Affairs October 25,2008
335 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations
335 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, D.. 20515
and
Department of Veterans
Affairs January 8, 2006
VA Office of Inspector General Hotline (53E)
P.O. Box 50410
Washington, D.C. 20091-0410
and tell these entities how the VARO must have lost, misplaced,or
destroyed your evidence-
because they did not consider it all -your basic rights for DTA.
I am sending my letters in an hour.
Only if vets and widows step up to the plate on this and overwhelm
these entities -will anything really be done-
And I am counting on more VA emploees to have a conscience and step
up top the plate too.

Veterans Administration-- "Shredder-Gate."
Cannot Confirm... yet... but I would bet on it!
VA Shredder Gate plus:
Shredder Gate plus:
Received the following from several sources but cannot confirm the validity or the visit to the Regional Office in Chicago by Senators Durban and Obama.
This post is anonymous- not the right name- the VA employee is hoping that vets will respond to his plea:
I am sending you the same information that I recently called and relayed to a staff member of the Chicago Tribune. This Monday, October 27, 2008, Senator Durbin and Senator Akaka will visit the Chicago VBA Regional Office for an inspection. Recently, it has leaked to the public that some VBA employees across the nation have purposely thrown veterans' mail in the garbage. This is a problem because, in most instances, a veteran's claim for compensation may hinge on the missing article. I have come across veterans that have assured me that they sent in documents pertinent to their claim, only to be informed that the mail was never received.
At this office, the sentiments are not "do a good job" so that veterans may receive the benefits the US promised. Instead, in all my years, it has always been let's process as many claims as possible to get the backlog down and, if we miss an issue, the veteran can always file another claim. There are some great employees in this office, and many go beyond the call of duty, often staying late to complete a claim. Nevertheless, management (at this office and those at the national office) continues to place unreasonable pressure on employees. When this occurs, it is no surprise that veterans are being harmed.

You will find Congressman Filner’s statement: "This completely shatters confidence in the whole VA system.”
Hundreds of thousands of Veterans/Widows never had any confidence in this sham of a system including the BVA and the DC Appeals Management Center. In my opinion this system is so full of biased crap, collusion, and criminal activity against the United States Veteran and family it should be disbanded entirely. I know many have said save it and fix it. But there comes a time in any endeavor that it is just throwing good money and good well-intentioned efforts away. Changing the engrained VA philosophy on behalf of the Executive Branch would be a total waste of that time and money. This whole issue should be done by an entity not associated with the Federal Government and that can be held accountable for actions like are being reported in a court of law. Also for at least rendering common sense decisions instead of clerks needing medical records which they have no idea what they say or what the meaning is (just more BS) and on top of that just putting them in file 13, on purpose as if they never received them.
This is not about a “oops we slipped” but an ingrained policy by VA as we have said all along to deny, stall, and defile the Military Service of a Veteran until his or her death.
Example is also in that same link referenced above of how VA thinks these actions should be handled. Can anyone say these are not direct criminal actions with intent to do harm?
Here was VA’s respons
