US Elections a sham again?


In the year 2000 the world was more than surprised to see that only a few Americans were outraged about the election fraud when the Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, had his brother appointed president by his dependents instead of counting the votes which would have made Al Gore President of the United States. The emails from Europe that I received stated among other things that we "now live in a third world country".  That should suffice as of how our nation is viewed by the rest of the world. The same is the case with our version of the events of September 11, 2001. The US is the only country where the US Government statements are not being taken as a bad joke.  Too much evidence exists - from the Pilot episode of "The lone Gunmen" which gave our Government at the time the blueprint of what to do, which they refined and added some aspects to Bin Laden who initially declined the honor of having the event planned and executed.  Only after the US Government had an actor in Bin Laden costume confess to having planned and carried out the 9/11 attack and the Bushes spoke with their best friends, the Bin Ladens, Osama finally "confessed".  But back to the next shaky plans of the Republican operatives, who have found a new way to fix the elections.

Romney Family Investment Ties To Voting Machine Company That Could Decide The Election Causing Concern
October 20, 2012, Forbes

The [electronic voting] machines used in Hamilton County, Ohio — the county home of Cincinnati — are supplied by Hart Intercivic, a national provider of voting systems in use in a wide variety of counties scattered throughout the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Hawaii, Colorado and Ohio. A test conducted in 2007 by the Ohio Secretary of State revealed that five of the electronic voting systems the state was looking to use in the upcoming 2008 presidential election had failed badly, each easily susceptible to chicanery that could alter the results of an election. As reported in the New York Times, “At polling stations, teams working on the study were able to pick locks to access memory cards and use hand-held devices to plug false vote counts into machines. At boards of election, they were able to introduce malignant software into servers.” It turns out that Hart Intercivic is owned, in large part, by H.I.G. Capital — a large investment fund with billions of dollars under management — that was founded by a fellow named Tony Tamer. H.I.G. employees hold at least two of the five Hart Intercivic board seats. Tony Tamer, H.I.G.’s founder, turns out to be a major bundler for the Mitt Romney campaign, along with three other directors of H.I.G. who are also big-time money raisers for Romney. Two of those directors — Douglas Berman and Brian Schwartz — were actually in attendance at the now infamous “47 percent” fundraiser in Boca Raton, Florida. Two members of the Hart Intercivic board of directors, Neil Tuch and Jeff Bohl, have made direct contributions to the Romney campaign.

Could e-voting machines in Election 2012 be hacked? Yes.
October 26, 2012, Christian Science Monitor
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/2012/1026/Could-e-voting-machines-in-Election-2012...
Rapid advances in the development of cyberweapons and malicious software mean that electronic-voting machines used in the 2012 election could be hacked, potentially tipping the presidential election or a number of other races. [A University of Pennsylvania] study concluded "virtually every important software security mechanism is vulnerable." Most at risk are paperless e-voting machines, which don’t print out any record of votes. Four swing states – Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado, and Florida – rely to varying degrees on paperless machines. Alex Halderman, a researcher at the University of Michigan, and a colleague at Princeton University hacked into a paperless touch-screen voting machine in 2010 and installed the video game Pac-Man. Similarly, he and Princeton researchers in 2006 demonstrated that if someone could get a few minutes’ unattended access to a paperless machine, that person could install a software virus that could spread to other machines and switch those machines’ votes before deleting all traces of itself. Among the 23 states that use touch-screen Direct-Recording Electronic (DREs) machines ... only California, Indiana, and Ohio were rated excellent in a national report this summer by Verified Voting. For a savvy hacker, the time and access needed to infect a machine is so small that it could be done while in a voting booth. A hacker could in theory use the Internet to target an e-voting machine company, which would then unknowingly infect its own machines when it serviced them. It's impossible to know if newer machines and software are really secure because their source code is largely unavailable for analysis. Voting-equipment makers frequently say their software is a trade secret.

Please vote and keep your eyes open if any election fraud is being committed.

Islam is a peaceful Religion!

Christianity is a "non-violent" Religion per definition of the New Testament. And look how many cultures were violently extinguished in the name of "Jesus Christ", who actually told his followers to "turn the other cheek". The commandments require "to love your neighbor like yourself", not to kill, not to steal and not to lie. That is the essential message of the Bible.

And who is following these rules? Politicians and Religious leaders use Quotes from Scriptures, taken out of context, and by painting a terrible picture of the "common enemy" to stir violence, hate and fear. Ignorance and fear are the root of violence and hate in the first place. Add the holy war as a reason for the ignorant, and greed as the motive for the "ruling class". From the crusades, the destruction of the Inca Empire, the destruction of the Native American tribes here in the US (the numbers of killed Natives vary between 150 and 250 Million), to Germany's Hitler, who pointed at the Jews as the common enemy and killed Millions of them, to the current Islamophobia, the goals and means are strikingly similar.

Stirring the fear of "the other", inventing a constant threat of so called "Terrorism", our politicians are working up their way to another war, to fill the chests of the "top one percent", and to kill the "common enemy" in the name of God and country. And the same is happening "on the other side". In the Islamic countries the crowds are stirred up by their religious leaders, and with this they play in the hands of the western powers, or are probably even lead by them to act this way. The CIA has started more wars "behind the scenes" than most people can imagine. The Bin Laden family were the Bush family's only friends. Bush was holding hands with the Saudi Prince and Saddam was instated under Bush senior, while Prescott Bush - in his time - financed Hitler.

It is an interesting world where the media is used to hide the facts and feed the lies to us. We are talking Billions and Trillions of Dollars going to the usual suspects who outfit our wars, like Cheney's Halliburton and the producers of military devices. For that kind of money, the top one percent is willing to do whatever it takes to start a new war. Let's see... IRAN will be next on the list. It is not about Religion, it is about big money. The Religion is easily explained: Islam is basically a non-violent religion that has been hijacked by extremists with an agenda. Just like Christianity.

Mormons are traditional Christians - Really?

I like Mormons. Mormons are usually really nice and friendly people. I like the Missionaries, because they dedicate a part of their lives to what they believe in and are on a mission that is not easy. Now I hear that Catholics support the Mormon Mitt Romney to become President of the United States with the statement that Mormonism is actually close to Catholicism and asked if the Mormon Faith was "Christian" they actually agree. Some Jewish Groups also believe that the Mormons are on the side of Israel.  Maybe we should have a look at the Mormon faith instead of following pure political ignorance. And this brief overview is not to discredit Mormons, but only to clarify some misconceptions that are out there.

Mormons believe in Jesus as a blond and blue eyed American, since he lived and performed his miracles in the US. They don't believe in Israel though, since they believe that everything that is in the Bible actually happened in the US, not anywhere near the Mediterranean area. And they have a very different view of Jesus as well.

Who are the Mormons? Are the Mormons the "real" Mormons who preached Polygamy since their founding by Joseph Smith in 1830, when he officially claimed that he found golden Plates and published the "Book of Mormon"? Are the real Mormons the ones who think that darker or black skinned people are black because their God punished them, marked and burned them for being bad? The modern Mormons "officially" changed that belief in the 1970's. Or are those the ones who believe that everything written in the Bible actually happened in "The Americas" and not in Israel. They believe that Jesus was white (Personally I refer to their depictions of Jesus as "the blonde guy") and that he was not necessarily the only savior. And the Mormon faith does not only operate on our own Planet. According to Mormon belief there are many worlds, and definitely more than one earth.

One important fact everyone should know is that the Mormons do not just change their interpretations. They change their whole belief system according to the times, laws and necessities of the moment. And they can do it legitimately, because every leader of the Mormon Church, called a prophet, is empowered to  change the current beliefs of the Mormon Church.

More information about the Mormon faith can be found here:  http://chocr.com/Religions/mormons.htm

But wait, there is more... Mormon Leaders also claimed that Jesus Christ is only one of many Saviors: According to Joseph Fielding Smith: "We are not the only people that the Lord has created. We have brothers and sisters on other earths. They look like us because they, too, are the children of God and were created in his image, for they are also his offspring" (Doctrines of Salvation 1:62). Brigham Young taught: "Sin is upon every earth that ever was created ... Consequently every earth has its redeemer, and every earth has its tempter" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 14, p.71).

You will find more info about the differences between how Jesus is viewed by Mormons and the christian churches here: http://www.leaderu.com/offices/michaeldavis/docs/mormonism/jesus-refs.html

In closing let me say, that I agree with several teachings of the Mormon faith that do not correspond with teachings of churches of the traditional faith. I know many Mormons, I respect them, I like them and I enjoy speaking with them. I welcome Missionaries in my house and I highly admire their commitment to their faith. But their belief is not close to the Christianity that we came to know in our traditional churches.

If you claim to follow Jesus, know his Word!

GOD is still not gaining any traction with the right wing christian fascists. While they still claim Jesus as their savior, their actions are without any doubt anti-christian.  Let's take a look at this statement: Jesus was on the side of the poor and wanted to help them in any situation, with all the power he had. The right wingers, even though they are mostly poor, despise the poor and support the rich. Even thought they have hardly any teeth, they oppose free governmental support to fix their dental mess. Let them eat soup.

At the same time they oppose the right to choose, to decide, to speak or to live for women, even though Jesus did help men and women alike, and betrothed the leadership of his church to Maria Magdalene and not to Peter.  Peter just ran with it. And he founded a church in the tradition of the Jewish faith.  Jesus never wanted a church that included anyone but the Jewish people. And he never sent the Apostles out to found this church. He told Paul who was as well Jewish, but also a Roman citizen, to found the church for the Gentiles.

And amazingly almost all Churches are straying from Jesus path. All we have to do is follow the commandments and Jesus' word as it is stated in the Gospel of Thomas (which you will find on our church's website) and copied from there into parts of the New Testament.

Oh, and to all you racists out there: Jesus was definitely not white. He was brown and Jewish. And he loved you as well. Just work a little bit on your view of the world. And if you pray to Jesus, at least know what he actually said and wanted. Don't trust your redneck, illiterate Pastor. Read the Bible.
