As I sit outside reading and thinking, I look up and see a jet-passenger plane, probably full of people, flying away to the North. They are enjoying their freedom to travel. But how does this freedom relate to the […]
Preface I don’t get a lot of responses to my articles, but I am not discouraged. Some do not respond because they do not agree with my point of view, and that is okay. Others do not respond because they do not want to be associated with the severity and consequences of truth. Then there […]
A gallant form is passing by,The plume bends o’er his lordly brow;A thousand tongues have raised on highHis song of triumph now.Young knees are bending round his way,And age makes bare his locks of gray.

Mankind has been conditioned and indoctrinated, led by the Pied Piper of this world, to respond in certain prescribed ways to words and symbols, and to surrender when compelled. They have become so accustomed to the many lures that the hook through their lip is easily tolerated. Men are accustomed, through prior elementary methods, to […]
