kibbitz: It is alarming, to say the least, that Congress no longer needs to be consulted before taking miltary action against other countries. Mr. Bush’s crusade for “democracy” in the Middle East is a case in point. If the following article is true (and given the quagmire we face in Iraq/Afghanistan based on the [...]

The world is ready for this now, it is clear this is the time. – Donovan Leitch Spare the world, Donovan – please. It seems to be an incurable foible of fallen human nature to believe that halevai (if only) others would see the world in MY terms, or would embrace MY doctrine, then all would be well. [...] Kibbitz: Propaganda and disinformation, from the “face-saving” variety to the more sinister, is a regular feature of the Bush Administration. Please visit some of the links listed at the end of this entry to begin to get some idea of the prevalence of this heinous practice. FEMA workers play role of reporters October 26, 2007 [...] Way of Life’s Church News Notes reports that Focus on the Family is scheduled to join the apostasy party at the Crystal Cathedral in January. “H. B. London of Focus on the Family is scheduled to join hands with heretic Robert Schuller in a “Rethink” conference at the Crystal Cathedral in January 2008. The [...] Kibbitz: Justin Raimondo writes an interesting article that clearly describes the how the “Devil’s Logic” (i.e., the Hegelian Dialectic) is at work in the calculated decisions that first led the United States to attack Iraq and Afghanistan and now plays itself out in constant propaganda and disinformation campaigns delivered by the Bush Administration. (What Raimondo fails to see, however, is the Satanic [...] As large swaths of California are now burning (redolent of the conflagration of Sodom and Gomorrah), now-flaccid Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger continues to attempt to thrust his political will into the collective rear end of the public. His latest work for the PC-propaganda machine (SB 777) now makes having a conscience a “hate crime.” It’s clearly designed to [...] Kibbitz: The word comatose comes to mind when I think about how Evangelical Christendom has been hoodwinked by GW Bush and his carefully crafted “folksy phoniness.” It seems that all that all a politician has to do these days is to glad-hand a few of the “movers and shakers” of the Evangelical world, spout off some Christian-sounding [...] Note: Sadhu Sundar Singh (1889-1929) was one of India’s most famous converts to Christianity. His writings might seem a bit unusual, especially from a Western-Christian point of view, but don’t let that spoil the insights he can give to exercising faith in Yeshua as the Master, the Guru, the Teacher of your life. (Later [...] “He who controls the child’s mind will control the world…” A random sampling of news related to the Harry Potter madness… More Propaganda to Normalize Perversion (MSNBC) “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” the sixth of J.K. Rowling’s fantasy series, sold about 9 million copies in Britain and the United States in its [...] Kibbitz: Well this doesn’t come as a surprise, as more and more of our world is becoming disconnected with history and infiltrated with the propaganda of the age. The faith that the modern state of Israel is spiritually significant is a byproduct of taking the words of the Torah and Scriptures seriously. American Judaism, in [...] Ron Paul — A Christian libertarian and only candidate truly opposing illegal immigration, is 100% pro-life, and is 100% pro-Constitution. He’s a long shot, but I pray that he gets nominated. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video Hasty Generalization A hasty generalization has occurred when a conclusion has been reached using too few examples; also, when examples have been used that are irrelevant or not representative. Examples: I. Christians are a bunch of weak-minded sheep who never think for themselves. II. Christians can’t argue their point because they all [...] Logical Fallacies by James W. Benham and Thomas J. Marlowe Ad hominem arguments are the tools of scoundrels and blackguards. Therefore, they are invalid. If you had any consideration for my feelings, you wouldn’t argue from an appeal to pity. What would your mother say if you argued from an appeal to sentiment? I [...] I stumbled upon a very helpful list of maxims of clear and careful thinking that I’m passing on to you. It comes from James Beverley and is gleaned from a section entitled “How to Think and Reason Correctly,” published by Zondervan. Emotion does not settle issues of truth. Tradition is not always right. Do [...] What are Propaganda Techniques? They are the methods and approaches used to spread ideas that further a cause – a political, commercial, religious, or civil cause. Why are they used? To manipulate the readers’ or viewers’ reason and emotions; to persuade you to believe in something or someone, buy an item, or vote a [...] Kibbitz: It’s important to keep the distinction in mind between God’s faithfulness to the Jewish people, on the one hand, and His dealings with the secular (and often corrupt) government of the political state of Israel, on the other. This is not an “anti Semitic” statement…. God loves the Jewish people and has always reserved a remnant (she’arit Yisrael) for [...] David Brickner (of Jews for Jesus) writes a nice article about the tension between the political ideology of “Christian Zionism” (think John Hagee) and the more existential need to reach the Jewish people with the message of Yeshua (Jesus), the Jewish Messiah. It is disingenous to “support Israel” for the sake of a coming apocalyptical vision [...] By Andrew E. Mathis In case you missed it (and really, unless you live in New England, or you’re Armenian, or you have some interested in the Anti-Defamation League [ADL] of B’nai Brith, you probably did), there’s been something of a to-do between the ADL and very specifically its leader, Abraham Foxman, and the [...] by Naomi Wolf I wish people would stop breaking into tears when they talk to me these days. I am traveling across the country at the moment — Colorado to California — speaking to groups of Americans from all walks of life about the assault on liberty and the 10 steps now underway in [...] Schwarzenegger signs law banning anything perceived as negative to ‘gays’ “Mom and Dad” as well as “husband and wife” have been banned from California schools under a bill signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who with his signature also ordered public schools to allow boys to use girls restrooms and locker rooms, and vice versa, [...] Despite agreeing with the moral asseverations of Mrs. Thomas, she (as well as most of the commentators of the mainstream media) misses the underlying motive for imposing fascist rule — namely, the establishment of the New World Order and rise of a global fascist state. This will usher in the period of Great Tribulation [...] Improve yourself, And only afterwards, try to improve others. Bava Metzia 107b A famous Hasidic rebbe once proclaimed that when he was a young rabbi, his idealistic and romantic goal was to change the world. After a while, he realized that his aspiration was too grandiose, and so he [...] A Prayer to Avoid by Richard Woike, Sr. O thou pleasant, comfortable, kindly, good-natured God: How glad I am that I can look forward, with a reasonable degree of certainty, to another ordinary day. Keep me today from anything that taxes my faith, from discomfort, from unnecessary strain, from unusual problems, especially those [...] If we live good lives, the times are also good. As we are, such are the times. – St. Augustine Movie Script Scene: Scene 1: An old man living in a shabby apartment in the poor-rent district. He looks in the cupboard to find nary a bone to eat. He then laboriously gets himself [...] Someone recently asked me why I was opposed to illegal immigration in this country. She asked, “Why should you, as a Christian, deny people the right to flee poverty in their own country, where they have no power to effect change”? A good question that is worthy of a response. Why shouldn’t we open wide our [...] Ron Paul Raises $5 Million for Bid By JIM KUHNHENNWASHINGTON (AP) – Long-shot Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul raised a surprising $5 million during the past three months, capitalizing on his stance as the only anti-war contender in the GOP field.Paul, a Texas congressman who once ran for president as a Libertarian, also will [...] I don’t watch TV, since it is mindless drek that is intended to disseminate disinformation, brainwash, deceive and ultimately enslave people. A classic case in point is a new CBS (i.e., Viacom or rather multi-billionaire Sumner Murray Rothstein) sponsored show that depicts presumably devout Christian teens in an “abstinence club” as sexually active hypocrites who [...] By Steven LaTulippe Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) is gaining steam in his presidential campaign and the establishment is preparing to stop him at any cost. His fundraising statistics reveal a blossoming, Internet-based movement that is uniting libertarians and other concerned citizens from across the political spectrum. His performance in the media has been sharp, [...] WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush and Congress are headed toward another showdown on war spending, this time sparring over nearly $190 billion the Pentagon says is needed to keep combat in Iraq afloat for another year. Now compare this to another CNN article from Wednesday, Septermber 26, 2007: WASHINGTON – The House voted Tuesday [...] True to the legacy of his father and his chummy predecessor Bill “slick-Willie” Clinton, G.W. Bush is promoting the United Nations’ Law of the Sea Treaty (aptly named LOST), which will give U.N. control over 70 percent of the planet under its oceans. It would establish rules governing the uses of the of the world’s oceans – [...] (CBS) NEW YORK It is one of the strangest explanations ever offered for a death in police custody — that a woman with her hands cuffed behind her could somehow end up with the cuffs around her neck. “I’m not a terrorist!
