WHERE DID RELIGION LOST ITS GRIP?

Theology, Not Politics

by Rep. Ron Paul, MD


Members of Congress from both political parties outdid themselves last week in heaping praise upon Pope John Paul II in the wake of his passing. Many spoke at length on the floor of the House of Representatives, and some even flew to Rome for his funeral.

I’m happy to witness so many politicians honoring a great man of God and peace. The problem, however, is that so few of them honored him during his lifetime by their actions as legislators. In fact, most members of Congress support policies that are totally at odds with Catholic teachings.

Just two years ago conservatives were busy scolding the Pope for his refusal to back our invasion of Iraq. One conservative media favorite even made the sickening suggestion that the Pope was the enemy of the United States because he would not support our aggression in the Middle East. The Pontiff would not ignore the inherent contradiction in being pro-life and pro-war, nor distort just war doctrine to endorse attacking a nation that clearly posed no threat to America – and conservatives resented it. September 11th did not change everything, and the Pope understood that killing is still killing. The hypocritical pro-war conservatives lauding him today have very short memories.

Liberals also routinely denounced the Pope for maintaining that Catholicism, like all religions, has rules that cannot simply be discarded to satisfy the cultural trends of the time. The political left has been highly critical of the Pope’s positions on abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage, feminism, and contraception. Many liberals frankly view Catholicism as an impediment to the fully secular society they hope to create.

Both conservatives and liberals cannot understand that the Pope’s pronouncements were theological, not political. He was one of the few humans on earth who could not be bullied or threatened by any government. He was a man of God, not a man of the state. He was not a policy maker, but rather a steward of long-established Catholic doctrine. His mission was to save souls, not serve the political agendas of any nation, party, or politician.

To the secularists, this was John Paul II’s unforgivable sin – he placed service to God above service to the state. Most politicians view the state, not God, as the supreme ruler on earth. They simply cannot abide a theology that does not comport with their vision of unlimited state power. This is precisely why both conservatives and liberals savaged John Paul II when his theological pronouncements did not fit their goals. But perhaps their goals simply were not godly.

Unlike most political leaders, the Pope understood that both personal and economic liberties are necessary for human virtue to flourish. Virtue, after all, involves choices. Politics and government operate to deny people the freedom to make their own choices.

The Pope’s commitment to human dignity, grounded in the teachings of Christ, led him to become an eloquent and consistent advocate for an ethic of life, exemplified by his struggles against abortion, war, euthanasia, and the death penalty. Yet what institutions around the world sanction abortion, war, euthanasia, and the death penalty? Governments.

Historically, religion always represented a threat to government because it competes for the loyalties of the people. In modern America, however, most religious institutions abandoned their independence long ago, and now serve as cheerleaders for state policies like social services, faith-based welfare, and military aggression in the name of democracy. Few American churches challenge state actions at all, provided their tax-exempt status is maintained. This is why Washington politicians ostensibly celebrate religion – it no longer threatens their supremacy. Government has co-opted religion and family as the primary organizing principle of our society. The federal government is boss, and everybody knows it. But no politician will ever produce even a tiny fraction of the legacy left by Pope John Paul II.

WHAT MAKES DEMOCRACY ACCEPTABLE TO THE PEOPLE STARTS WITH A CULTURE OF GOOD GOVERNANCE

One can speak about democracy, applying it is another concept entirely that one has to embrace. As wonderful as democratic principles are being preached, it is yet to be practiced in many developing nations that can not yet define democracy in their terms,. The basic structure of the 21st century democracy lies in governance that is laid on the foundations of a responsible leader. Growth and desired consistent development of critical sectors in virtually all nascent democracies stems from the knowledge of good governance among its political leaders. This which is the crux of the matter is what many voters from developing nations are either not taught or are probably not conversant with. Few of the Gulf states such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are proving to many resource rich 3rd world nations that democracy is not all about political parties and elections but a culture of good,  responsive and responsible governance through the nationalistic nature of their rulers which puts its people ahead in the interest of unity and development.

                                          Asians waiting to cast their votes for their leaders

Democracy can not produce desired results at the present in an atmosphere where the culture of good governance is not an integral part of the population, and that starts from the lowest level of the society. Neither, will democracy in the future have any value for its citizens if its only built on a structure which enables the citizens to go to the polls every 4 or 5 years in order to cast their votes or change a government because the incumbent government could not produce expected results.  Many African countries and Nigeria in particular position itself as an example to this form of democracy that has not found its rhythm , the citizens and their leaders have subjected themselves to a "wait till after four years syndrome." As soon as such political attitude is embedded into the social consciousness of the people and as it develops and takes control of the independent minded democratic advocators and the civil societies  the political system becomes redundant machine which will help in producing a vivicious cycle of mediocre that will pollute the nation political and social fabric if care is not taken it runs down the lane of a banana republic.   

A good example are the City States of the Emirates (though undemocratic) that has opened up its society for the world and yet its people gain most from all the policies and program of the monarch. In virtually every sector of the economy, both educated and uneducated citizens have a greater upper hand, for those that are educated, they get the juicy jobs even when there are foreigners competing for the same position and the 41 Spirit of the Union is getting stronger not relenting on its achievements because virtually every citizen is giving a chance and they are contented with a good standard of living the government offers them. 

                                        Nigerians wanting to cast their votes on election day

 Africans, Europeans, Asians and Americans that are the masters in promoting democracy do not really recognize the essence of what government of the people by the people and for the people means until they find themselves in the oil rich states of the Middle East like the UAE. For some that have traveled there, they say they are love with the GCC states not because virtually all of them are ruled by dictators but because those dictatorial government are trying their best to offer the basics of  good governance to its people. For those foreigners that have live in those countries or probably still living in that region, its seems to them like what they needs as a means for understanding democratic principles is well available without elections.  

3rd world nations especially countries in Africa must begin to consider and evaluate what type of democratic principle their future leaders  are embodied with today. Are they a people with the nation at heart, that are determined to raise the bar no matter the challenges? Are they subject to the principle of good governance and their manifestos? These are the questions that must be paramount and needed to be asked as from now on if there is to be any meaningful change in the socio-political status of many African societies that are said to be practicing democracy. Because the rate and pattern of migration by African and Asian citizens to the Middle East is increasing everyday just to seek for a better society which its government functions.

THE UGLY SIDE OF THE BRITISH PRIDE AMONG ITS CITIZENS.

British youths looting a shop during a riot.

Many youths in different nations around the world especially 3rd world nations might never be fortunate throughout their life time seeing their governments establish a national insurance scheme like that of the United Kingdom which prepared a grand design for its unemployed through the social insurance scheme that pays its citizens  unemployment benefits while out of work.   As a young man with a Bsc. in political science and a higher degree in commercial administration who graduated at the mid of the financial crisis, I have not being able to secure a job in an era where major global financial institutions  and governments have acknowledge to be the worst economic recession since the Second World War. Having known how the British government have instituted a social security scheme which helps to sustain its unemployed youths by receiving  income benefits , I was a fan of the British model, thinking Britons of my age and probably my qualification surely have no reason to be unhappy with their government. But I got it independently  wrong when I saw the riots of August 2011 in the UK on my screens led and executed by youths similar to the Arab spring.

I was not going to let the subsequent 2012 London Olympics i saw on my screens which Britain showcased to the world in its opening day the traditional and natural evolution of the hard working British men and women went through in history from a cave man like era to the medieval society, straight into the industrial revolution, the determination to rebuild after 2nd World War, the sweat and challenges in administration and the brick by brick construction of a society  that led to its modern day existence truly explains to anyone paying attention on how focused and hardworking the British people had been over the millennium drag my attention to believe everything was perfect with the British pride.  Before I changed my perception about Britain's Insurance programs, I decided to draw my attention closer to the "force" that made it possible for the English youths within the British society in different towns and cities of the UK went on rampage.

 And there I got the answer in the process of pondering over and asking questions to why a young British generation without much challenges compared to what their grandfather went through during and after the Second World War recession had to cope with. Britain was a nation which many African countries tried to copy its social security programs but failed woefully, why would the youths want to pull down the walls that upheld these structures which has been providing for their needs virtually every Fridays? If so, then something must be within or inside the structures that were not known or taken cognizance of by the British administrators, its public, the academia, which I found to be the ugly side of the British pride.

Any attempt to Google out British pride from the world wide web, one is flooded with a barrage of suggestions which expresses the British pride in its successes, doggedness, dynamism and the greatness of the British people, which i consider not to be a bad idea. But buried within the British pride are youths that do not suggest any success, dynamism or doggedness  which the world saw during the UK riots. Not to quickly apportion blame to the youths that went on rampage and the younger generation that possess the ugly side of the British pride that am about to speak about, the government officials and its behavioral scientist in the universities should  be held partially responsible for not being able to decipher the dangers associated with the British pride, which causes the selection and determination of what kind of job a British young man should do. Or can one probably suggest that those in government and academia too grew up under such circumstances and did not read the fine prints.

Just as the Prime minister David Cameron said during the 2011 August riots, that British youths were lazy, he is simply validating the facts on what British pride has made out of its citizens for other nationals from Africa, Eastern Europe especially the Polish that have taken over the UK menial jobs under the illusion of government policy which give priority to British citizens in terms of job placements even when those that dropped out of college and high school knew that the level of their certificates does not equal the job they desire. The British pride within their conscience translates to an attitude in the everyday life of a young British that foreigner are meant to do menial jobs and as such, the culture of job "discriminatory attitude" serves as one of their genetic composition. A wonderful scenario is unfolding rapidly as the Polish language was found in a recent research conducted to be the second most spoken language in the UK, due to the integration of many Eastern European nations into the EU. Flocks of young Polish citizens have taken over the menial jobs in the UK, and one can sincerely hope that the British government can consistently hold on by providing executive jobs for their citizens even without the necessary qualification or else another riot might be looming in the future as it considers to break away from the EU. Even the well educated Black Africans that migrated to Britain are finding it harder to compete with the Polish citizens who are willing to earn lesser than the minimum wage.

 The British pride has grown to become an attitude which is considered as necessary and spoken of in  like manners as in "If I do not get the job I desire I sit at home and earn my benefits" forgetting that its the necessary qualification one possessed that suits the executive jobs. But that seems to be the order of the day among the "lazy" British youths according to the Prime minister.

BOKO HARAM METAMORPHOSES, CODED DOCUMENTS FOUND IN MALI BY NIGERIAN ARMY.

                                           Nigerian troops in action in Maduguri metropolis.

The Nigerian public were not informed that Abubakar Shekau and Abu Qaqa the leaders of the notorious terrorist group in Nigeria and six of their high ranking lieutenants were captured in a desert village in northern Mali. The security details of the operation were perfect before and after the leadership of the terror groups hide-out was known to the Nigerian military contingent just three weeks within their commencement into the war against terrorism in the Sub Sahara Africa. The only individuals that were aware of the operation to strike the hideout of the militant group where the President, Senate President, Speaker of the House, National Security Adviser Chief, Chief of Defense Staff, Chief of Army Staff and the Commandant of the Nigerian troops in Mali. The Nigerian military in conjunction with a few Malian military strike force were able to apprehend the group and in their  possession where coded documents on its plan for Nigeria in years to come and how its striking force are to carry out operations before the year 2020. The capture and the coded documents found, have dealt a blow to the groups plan and it is clear that a gradual draw-down to a complete ceasefire would be expected to end by the year 2020 when the terrorist group will disarm completely and the nation will be safe from the terror acts.

The documents contain serial attack mocks programs and were constructed in drills, I have been able to decode it and here is the best information given to the data. It was found that candidates were arranged in classes and various examination halls without proper security checks due to the time frame set for the exams and the security challenges in the northern part of the country made it possible for the lapses which Boko Haram got, to unleash the highest mayhem and murder Nigeria ever recorded since the advent of the sect. Being the only known terrorist group in the country all attention was paid to it as the source behind the deaths of candidates in about 5 states in the north. Candidates and persons came with cars and motorcycles parked at various positions around various examination venues in most of the volatile states in the Northern part of the country and that was what the terror group capitalized upon to inflict pains on the Nigerian population. It was not in the security details of the matriculation board to protect the candidates but the board worked earnestly to protect and safe guard its questionnaires months before the examination date which took place all around different centers in the country.

                                                        Abubakar Shekau Boko Haram leader

 The exam body left the security of lives to the weak and incapable Nigerian police which was a prey to the deadly terrorist group known as Boko Haram. The examination board depended on the military men mounting various check points in volatile states in the mid north and far north of the country. A military apparatus that have been stretched to the limit and have found it difficult to even know the difference between a Boko Haram member and a Maduguri university student because the militant group survives within the local population and many among the military men deployed are not indigenes.

45 minutes into the examination, at exactly 10: 47am a loud noise broke the serene silence and the assault began in one of the centers North –East of Kaduna. It was a calculated attempt by the sect in various centers to attack simultaneously. The terrorist groups stormed the venue with different sort of weapons ranging from AK47  shooting sporadically into classes and halls while others among them were throwing home made improvised explosive devices (IED’s) in to various halls to achieve results as expected. The security men watching over the candidates in order for them not to commit examination mal-practices were found running for their dear lives. Commotion was the order of the day as the gate man who locked the gate after every student had entered was no where to be found, emergency exit for candidates were not part of the structures erected in the building which made the armed suicide bomber had a field day.

In Kano, the government school was encircled by the Boko Haram militants even though the streets to the school has various military check points and at the entrance gate to the exam venue there was a size-able security presences. That did not deter the terrorist group which had planned meticulously days before the examination and had kept a car filled with 30 kilograms of bombs. As their usually trade mark, they created a detour by throwing IED’s from a fast moving car towards the school fence and some landed within the school premises exploding and damaging the principal’s office and other empty classes but their aim was to draw the attention of the security men guarding the school which they achieved.

As the sound of the explosion was heard in the hall candidates were scared but had no option but to keep

THE BLACK RACE ARE THE REAL JEWS SPOKEN ABOUT IN THE HOLY BOOKS.

The real Jews are those people around the world that are decadents of the Black race. This topic is for the Black race and anyone wondering why for centuries the Black man has been a slave to the Arabs, Europeans, Americans, and other racists groups around the world while the Black man has always being a cheated fellow, this are simply the reason. The real Jews are Africans and African Americans scattered all around the world who have their roots to the motherland. The Black African should know that those transferred from Europe to what is known today as Israel are from the generation of Edomites, descendants of Esau and the elites among them are those who are from the Khazarian Empire. Many among them are the Rothschild, Zionist, Illuminati (illuminated chosen people) Khazar, Knight Templar and those who practice Islam among them are the Doenme. 

Many around the world still believe that millions of people that were massacred in Europe were Jews, but even Winston Churchill  having the knowledge that those who carried out the revolution in Russia were mainly an extraction of  Jews later concluded that Stalin and his cohort were atheist. Some historians believed Adolf Hitler had a maternal Jewish family and yet he still wage war against his own tribe, does that sound logical for one to want to wipe out a race he belongs.  An evidence to proof that those transferred to the land of Palestine where Israel was created as at today are not the real Jews is evident in what the Holy books spoke to about the Jews both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. The migration of other people conducted by Israeli authorities who believed they were of Jewish origin and sent to Israel where they are living today does not tally with a group of people who suffered a curse. They themselves think they are Jews, but the fact remains they do not fit into the prophecies and curses in Deuteronomy 28.

Curses for Disobedience

15 However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:

16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.

17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

20 The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him. 

21 The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess.

 22 The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish. 

23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. 

24 The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.

25 The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth.

 26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away. 

27 The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured.28 The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind.

29 At midday you will grope about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.

32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 

33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days.
34 The sights you see will drive you mad. 

35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
36 The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone. 

37 You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.

38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it. 

39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.
40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off. 

41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity.
42 Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.

32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 

33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. 

34 The sights you see will drive you mad. 

35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.

36 The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone. 

37 You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.

38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it.
39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them. 

40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off.
41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity. 

42 Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.

38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it. 

39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them. 

40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off. 

41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity. 

42 Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.

43 The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 

44 They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.

45 All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you.

46 They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. 

47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, 

48 therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.

49 The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand, 

50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young. 

51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined. 

52 They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you.

53 Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you. 

54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 

55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. 

56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter 

57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.

58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God— 

59 the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 

60 He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 

61 The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. 

62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God. 63 Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.

64 Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known. 

65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. 66 You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. 

67 In the morning you will say, “If only it were evening!” and in the evening, “If only it were morning!”—because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see. 

68 The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.

NOTE: Figure out at what point did any race on earth or the present Jews went through this process.

Well, the Black African man and those Black Americans actually fits into this explanation, without knowing they were the people that  were spoken about in the Bible or any other old literature book. But a group of people for the past few centuries have aggregated it to themselves and made use of the Jewish plight in the process of history to their own advantage in the Middle East. Recently Black population were the target of some Israelis and their government officials, that is not the characteristics of a Jew but of a Zionist. while still facing the demographic and daily confrontation with the people of Palestine, the Blacks in Israel are singled out for deportation or denied the ability to work in the land of a people who claim to be Jewish and have suffered in the hands of the Europeans that their executioners could still trace their roots to an acclaimed Jewish family. Does that look like a Ku klux Klan in the U.S or an English Defense League (EDL) strategy to me. Yes. The manner in which the Yemeni Jews were treated and segregated during their immigration to Israel was another question, if truly those in charge were Jews by blood and not Zionist such would have not occured. Revelations 2:9 gives another reason to know who the real Jews are- I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan. Reading it at you own pace and applying it to your past will give you a better understanding of these facts.

  This is an opening for the Black man to give it another thought in this present generation and ask why is it that we replicate what the Prophet said to the 12 tribes of Israel. And in the daily attitude of the Black race it is necessary that they antagonize each other just the way some few fellows rose up and antagonize Moses when he was leading Israel out of Egypt. Those who were left in Egypt due to what they enjoyed as slaves must belong to that group of Black Jewish Egyptians that went after strange gods. Yet among the Blacks, we still find those that do not want the motherland to develop because of what the Edomites (Europeans and Americans) have to give them. Those that went with Moses and Joshua in the journey decided to stop along the way when they opened up to him that they do not believe Moses hears from God. Just in the manner the Blacks tend to behave and never wanting to listen to instruction in righteousness as spoken from the prophets of the present generation whom are carried along as the Spirit of God delivers the message to them. Those who were fervently accusing Moses and Joshua of taken them to an unknown destination were the Jews among them. Such act still replicates its self today when God appoints among us a prophet or a person after his heart to deliver us from our troubles, we rather condemn such and pick as our hearts desire and most times we regret which is rear occurrence  among the other tribes that are proceeds of Israel.

                                                              Black Ethiopian Jews

 Black men of God called by God who seek after the workings of the Holy Spirit are despised among the blacks but rather prefer to follow and be tricked by what they can see, feel, hear, read,what our situation looks like similar to those of the old that followed Moses up to the red sea and decided going back to Egypt to rather be slaves than to be liberated by the word sent from God through the divine elected prophets among them. Among the Black men of God it is easy to find them condemning each other and everyone want to be the master or seen as a religious champion which is not commonly found among the Whites. Without a collective unity within the people and other religious institution, the danger for the Black race to succeed and recognize their Jewish position and identity, the Black race might never arrive to its destination and those sons of other race who need them as modern slaves will continue to use them, for those who see them as inferior will continue to chant racist words at them no matter how much they contribute to the society and for those Edomite elites (imperialist)will continue to plunder their land while the keep killing each other for crumbs. Revelations 2:9 gives another reason to know who the real Jews are- I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan. Reading it at you own pace and applying it to your past will give you a better understanding of these facts.

Black men of God called by God who seek after the workings of the Holy Spirit are despised among the blacks but rather prefer to follow a White man of God or be tricked by what they can see, feel, hear, read,what our situation looks like similar to those of the old that followed Moses up to the red sea and decided going back to Egypt. They preferred to be slaves rather than to be liberated by the words of a "divine elected prophet". Many among the Jews never wanted to rely on faith which can not be seen. Even among the Black men of God it is easy to find them condemning each other and everyone want to be the master or seen as a religious champion which is not commonly found among the Whites. Without a collective unity within the people and other religious institution, the danger for the Black race to succeed and recognize their Jewish position and identity, the Black race might never arrive to its destination and those sons of other race who need them as modern slaves will continue to use them, for those who see them as inferior will continue to chant racist words at them no matter how much they contribute to the society and for those Edomite elites (imperialist)will continue to plunder their land while the keep killing each other for crumbs. 

                                                  Black adults sold to slavery as predicted

A Black man should give it another thought and ask why is it that they antagonize each other when one among them is doing great exploits just the way some few fellows rose up and antagonize Moses when he was leading Israel out of Egypt. Those who were left in Egypt due to what they enjoyed as slaves can be considered to be the Jews among them. Yet among the Black race we still find those that do not want the motherland to develop because of what the Edomites have to give them. Those that went with Moses in the journey decided to stop along the way when they opened up to him that they do not believe Moses hears from God. Just in the manner the Blacks tend to behave and never wanting to listen to instruction in righteousness as spoken from the prophets whom are carried along as the Spirit of God delivers the message to them. Those who were fervently accusing Moses and Joshua of taken them to an unknown destination were the Jews among them. Such act still replicates its self today when God appoints among us a prophet or a person after his heart to deliver us from our troubles, we rather condemn such and pick as our hearts desire and most times we regret which is rear occurance  among the other tribes that are proceeds of Israel.

Read and study Deuteronomy 28 to understand the image and message that was passed to the Jewish people that were of the Black race and not those who think they were the ones. Until the Black race has the ability to recognize that he was the Real Jew and serve God in truth and in spirit that is when he can be emancipated from the spiritual curse which is exhibiting itself spiritually and physically on the Black continent and its people.

 The Edomite race and a group of people that hijacked the concept or believed that they are Jews have never gone through such and will not go through such. Black Africa and those in diaspora must quickly come to recognize their position as the true and real Jewish people written in the religious books (Bible) and stop preaching about the Edomites and praising them in their churches expecting to be lesser humans as depicted in Deuteronomy but preach about themselves and they way to return to God spiritually for an overall emancipation. The war, famine, natural disaster, disease, ignorance both physically and spiritually, slavery, colonization, imperialism, poverty, spiritual attacks, dictatorship, deaths among Africans and generation past is an evidence enough to proof the disadvantage position Africa has found itself.  

 The Edomites and especially the elites among them have dispossessed the position and the original Jewish tribe from the Black man and are consistently making good use of it to their advantage in our lifetime and through out the last millennium. The curse has come to pass and its hunting the Black Jew due to the blindness that was decreed to cover the African race in Deuteronomy. Black Africa must discover her roots to regain her position in this millennium, for i believed that the civilized Jewish Black man must have read, understood the dangers associated with the curse. The Black race must adjust to the fact that they are the Jewish people spoken about due to the attitude of their forefathers and the time has come to collectively seek the face of God in every African nation for the curses in Deuteronomy to be lifted completely. 

THE CHANGING REGIONAL POLITICAL EDUCATION AND AWARENESS IN NIGERIAN. LOCAL POPULATIONS ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILITIES.

                                                            The Nigerian regional map

The Nigerian political landscape is gradually opening up a new phenomena, and its in the process of   engaging its people to understand what democracy is all about. As a child grows up and begin to understand his environment, he discovers that there are some things he needs to do for himself and not being directed by anyone. But much action of the child depends on the mother's social and cultural understanding of the environment. As usual, not all children do get to that stage of discovering or understanding that they themselves have out grown the age to be paddled. For those kids who by instinct or studying their cricumstances find solutions to their problems tend to instruct their parents not to spy on them as helicopter parents do due to embarrassment they are faced with in the presences of the mates. While some parents will no more be responsible for the actions of their children, others due to the stagnant nature of the social and political events in their societies, attitudes do not change easily, until a new phenomena happens by a stroke off luck or changes are forced due to the actions of a dynamic leadership.

If that does not occur, the ability for family members to start distinguishing between a son with wisdom and the one without would be evident in task distribution. Family members tend to allocated for the child which is still tied to his mother's apron little portion of resources when it has been discovered that he can not survive without the mother being around to instruct him on how to manage the resources knowing well that he has no personal initiative of making the best out of it. And for a child that can stand to defend himself under any circumstances as he grows, known with charismatic attitudes within the entire family, no matter the challenges his faced with, he has been seen to take personal initiatives to solve them even right or wrong, the family members tend to allocate a much bigger resources to such a child.

This analogy seems to be the next phase in which the Nigerian democratic dispensation is gradually moving into. Many states in the federation have decided to take upon themselves the mantle of electing a candidate they feel would be able to manage their resources, not totally on the basis of political party but on the basis of his manifesto and precedence in governance. The South West states of Nigeria are the first set of states to get to this self conscious political awareness. A natural political awareness that distinguishes between a personality and his party, that now follows not only party affiliations but a masses that have discovered that they have reached the age of telling the mother I can, I know and I can decipher the difference between a political party and a personality. The crowning of the cake was the Ondo governorship elections which Olusegun Mimiko won. At that level, it shows the wisdom and enlightenment of the South West population in their growth for better governance and ability to choose that which they feel can deliver unto them their desired results. Edo state under Governor Adams Oshomole and Imo state under the leadership of Governor Rochas Ockoroch is another example of early "teenage" political awareness in the Nigerian political scene.

 The South East still has alot to do to get to this political awareness, its people both in rural and urban areas are still below the self consciousnesses of knowing the right candidate to elect after 13 years of democratic dispensation. It has been difficult for those in that society to harness their ideas and vote for a trusted candidate. Rochas case in the South East was a case of an individual that has spent time and money chasing Presidential slots and the Imo people were convinced he could deliver democratic dividend with his wealth. Not until, he began to change the perception of the people of Imo state with his socialist democrat ideas, that they knew the state has been receiving and generating enough for its development. The South East still need probably more years to study personalities and separate them from party politics for majority of its people to reach the required threshold which enhances the moving in the right direction of the masses towards the Nigerian political development.

Apart from Edo state which falls within the edge of South West and is aligned to the South South regionally, all other South South states are no different from their Norther region counterparts. Just of recent, Chief Edwin Clark a former Nigeria information minister in the 1970s, and an indigenous fellow of the South South said for the past 13 years of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rule in the Niger Delta states its governors have wasted 7.3 Trillion Naira without an tangible social infrastructure to show for it . Both the South South states and the Northern states in the North West, North East and North Central are seriously lagging behind in political enlightenment and development of its population, they have no other choice but to see party politics just the way it was handed down to them by the military regime in May 1999. They are still living in a distorted and imaginary democratic societies wishing to see a political change without a political education deep rooted from self consciousness. With the rate at which other regions are moving fast, the lack of political education will present a serious danger to the general political awareness of the entire Nigerian population. If there will be means to export these democratic ideas of differentiating between a personality and a party by political and social activist in both the South South and the Northern region to snatch away the populations of these regions quickly from their one way political belief of what they think the Nigerian politics is all about. It would be a good step in the right direction to save them before it becomes a culture which they will be willing to teach to the next generation.

The Northern part of Nigeria is in a more serious dilemma because those who claim to come from the major opposition parties, the CPC and ANPP which the people voted for in the last elections and are in various government offices both in local and national levels are no different from their PDP counterparts. The Northern masses choice in electing officials to manage their resources have not given them the desired democratic results which the South West are beginning to enjoy as dividend of democracy. Their efforts will not pay off as far as they rely on their low knowledge of the political situations and the way to fix it.  The prerequisite for any dividend of democracy comes when the people can decipher within a specific period of time not more than 15 years in their polity to understand a personality with his own ideology to be different from a party ideology that is based on enriching members and not the society. After-all, it is a common knowledge in Nigerian that political parties since 1979 are not born out of ideology but designed as a committee of people who are interested in getting power for the benefit of their party members. These the people of the entire Northern region and their counterparts in the South South should discover in earnest for there to be any meaningful change in their political thinking first before there can be any socio-economic changes in their region. Political power belongs to the people, and the moment they cast it for the wrong candidate, the future of their region is in doubt.

 The fact remains that Northerners are still far from reality in understanding the Nigerian political landscape that its only a personality with a people's vision that can bring about a change they desired for now and not a political party which puts its members welfare ahead of those which voted the party into power. If after 13 years, the people still do not know what to do and the educated ones among them have not discovered the political changes and consciousness that has been going on in the South West regions of  the federation, then, before its too late,social activist have to raise up to the challenge or else there will be no remedy but to keep electing losers from the ruling party just as they have started doing now.  The entire North with its large population have to put on their thinking caps and its political sociologist and commentators should begin to reason beyond religion and ethnicity which politicians use as a weapon to tied them down. But rise to the challenge of breeding or following a new sets of committed persons for the political development of  the entire Northern region. While, the South South population must wake up and begin to calculate the strategies and ways to implement ways of not being left behind after 13 years in political enlightenment and education which is changing the concept of governance in democratic Nigeria to the benefit of the people and which is making states government especially in the South West to deliver the dividend of democracy to its people.

As the Nigerian political family portrays the genetic composition of an African traditional family, the husband has provided the money with the platform for education, its now left to the wives that their children are just entering into puberty age to lecture them on what to do to keep them up to date and how to go about it. I hope no region at the puberty age of democracy would want to take his or her bath outside the compound. But if there is a mother among the wives that does not care then she should be expecting her region to be responsible for her failure and for those mothers who wish to teach their child the necessary steps to take, the extended family can be sure such child will not be a nuisances and a disgrace to the entire tribe.

WHY ISRAEL AND HAMAS MUST ACCEPT A CEASEFIRE BROKERED BY EGYPT EARLY

                                             A Palestinian woman on the rubble of her home

The fighting has not stopped and both sides are trying to edge out each other on negotiations while still firing missiles and rockets into each other territory. Both Israel and Hamas leaders must know that the Middle East region is changing and the new sense of democratic and diplomatic moves must be adhered to in negotiations. No nation or group today can bomb its way into enemies submission, probably Iraq and Afghanistan has shown that to be evident to the world we live in.  Both parties have to work out the best options which will provide adequate peace that would be nurtured for a reasonable period of time before they can sit and talk of a prosperous future where they would live side by side.  

The question now is if any ceasefire is reached, for how long will the ceasefire be ad-heard to between the two parties. The foreign minister of Israel Lieberman, says he expects the ceasefire to last for between 5 and 6 years. Making those in the Middle East to wonder why both Hamas and Israel would have to re-arm themselves for the next couple of seasons. But analyst believe  any slightest mistake from the other side of the divide might cause another round of conflict even while they both observe the cease fire. Many analyst believe the ceasefire can not hold effectively until Israel recognizes the fact that its right to exist in the Palestinian land depends on how it treats the Palestinians.  The Palestinians have to be treated equally before there can be any improvement in the cessation of hostilities and that Israel must stops its policy of land grabbing.

 While Israel demands that Hamas be held responsible for making sure the Gaza Strip's other groups uphold the Palestinian end of the deal. In return, Israel will stop the IAF strikes and the assassinations of militants. However, Israel demands that it retain its right to take militarily action in order to thwart nefarious operations against it in Gaza. Which the Hamas regime in Gaza considers an insult to its integrity as far as it controls Gaza. Hamas has seen itself equal to the regime in Israel and believes it have the right to protect its own citizens just like Israel does against any aggression. 

Expecting that during the second stage, once the cease-fire is given a trial run of sorts, Israel would be willing to open talks with Egypt on Hamas' demands, especially loosening the blockage on Gaza and opening the border crossings. Israel demands that, at that stage, discussions concerning the smuggling of arms into the Gaza Strip will take place and that Egypt will provide assurances to prevent its taking place.

Analyst believe to ignore the Israeli occupation of Gaza farmers land, and the complete siege of Gaza and other Palestinian lands in West Bank in this ceasefire is like just a time out for the two to go and prepare for another round of confrontation which might be coming very soon due to the technological advancement of the Hamas military wing in Gaza during this war. Hamas is willing in every occasion to tell Tel Aviv that it has the capacity to target the capital of Israel in other to get the blockade of Israel removed.

Hamas have establish itself in Gaza and has proven to the world after the Arab revolution that it can advance its cause of the Palestinian people. A better illustration of this is the frequent visits of Arab leaders and diplomats to Gaza to show solidarity to the Palestinians and support the Hamas government and the people of Gaza against Israeli aggression. It was initially expected that Hamas would learn from the Arab governments around the Middle East but the concept has changed and its more like the reverse is the case now. 

Israel should find a diplomatic solution to the crisis now and remove its blockade of Gaza. It should lift the blockade on the sea and in the border crossing because Hamas feels its planning to occupy Gaza again after the withdrawal in 2005.  The world see Gaza as an open prison and believes those in Gaza are suffering in the-same manner which the European Jews suffered in the hands of German Nazis during the 2nd World War. And for that purposes, lifting the siege must be a necessary development in the ceasefire deal or else the ceasefire might not last long before another round of violence takes effect.  Hamas government feels its people are suffering and it has been able to depict that image to the world that Israel is the cause which prompts the supports it receives from both the Middle East and Iran to continue defending  itself. 

Hamas military wing capability and its know-how in military warfare has increased beyond the 2008-09 Israeli "Operation cast led". Probably, it caught everyone by surprise even the Israelis did not expect it, this shows a change in tactics and one can not dispute how its efficiency would be in the next coming years. The resources it needs for its protection and defense will continue to advance even if there is to be a land invasion, military analyst are of the opinion that it will end up being a dangerous attempt for the Israeli.  The Hamas military wing will continue to protect itself and fire with precision new advance underground missiles which is believed gotten from Iran against Israel. The Israeli regime must not let the notion that the only language Israel understand in any dispute is war which is a common thread among the resistance armies in the Middle East become a reality. 

Israeli must gradually work towards the cessation of hostilities and let both sides avoid retaliation on mistakes that might occur between the Israeli Gaza border. It must let peace reign and allow for the free entry of goods and people into and out of Palestinian territory.  Targeted and killing of Hamas leaders must be brought to an end after a cease fire must have been negotiated by the Egyptians and change in rhetoric must be adopted by both sides to facilitate the cease fire quickly. And Hamas must stand by the ceasefire negotiation which it is expected to sign for and do not allow any faction in Gaza to fire rockets into Israel.

To understand the mentality and psychological state of both population in the long age conflict. The Guardian reporter Chris McGreal, reporting from Beit Lahiya, Gaza, quotes a Palestinian named Mohammed al-Khoudry:

"I've really tried to understand the Israelis. I used to work on a farm in Israel. I speak Hebrew. I watch their news. All the time they talk about fear. How they have to run to their bunkers to hide from the rockets. How their children can't sleep because of the sirens. This is not a good way for them to live," said Khoudry, who now scrapes a living growing his own produce.

"We Palestinians don't talk about fear, we talk about death. Our rockets scare them; their rockets kill us. We have no bomb shelters, we have no sirens, we have nowhere we can take our children and keep them safe. They are scared. We are dying."
