ARTISTIC FUN

Can you IMAGINE?

A 'ROAD BUMP' along image mind map.

This type of behavior is considered ILLEGAL and against many "ByLaws" in Canadian and American Cities.

Message To the P.M.

A copy of a letter I just sent off to the P.M. of Canada.
(Just in case he/SECRET SERVICE DUDES, doesn't check his morning email and only has time to check out my latest post).

OFFICIAL LETTER TO CANADIAN P.M.

Good Evening Sir:

This letter is to officially inform you, as you are probably already aware, that as we are BOTH going to be at the same 'event' tomorrow. It might be a grand opportunity to submit your 'unconditional surrender' regarding your governments "WAR on the POOR". To continue this ANY longer can only be 'seen' as cruelty.
I would also like to take this opportunity to officially invite you to take a 'Walk through "Ancient's History"...if you haven't already. I WILL, allow GOD to guide you in your decisions. I WILL, also warn you as I must, that those who show 'no mercy'...SHALL receive none.
Please understand...hearing and listening are not the same thing...
'LISTENING' requires ACTION.
Please, come sit with me and we will break bread and discuss these things like men of honour. If you CAIN stop killing...you'll never be ABEL to survive what's coming.
I don't think I know...I just know I'm thinking.

your humble servant,
Ancient Clown -- Honourary King of the Poor
Voice of the Children...Leader of the Meek
Commander and Chief: The Armies of Light.

UPDATE: As amazing as it sounds, with all things considered...The Prime Minister CHOSE to ignore the 'personal invitation' from myself and the cries of the people in attendance. It was once said that a leader is gauged by how they treat the least of their people...If that was EVER true...we've been sorely lacking in any type of QUALITY from our leaders for some time.

STAND NOW !!!

I just got this but thought you should be AWARE
SAY NO TO TRIDENT FURY!
Canadians must stop war-game exercises and oppose deep military integration
Exercise Trident Fury is the name of war game exercises being conducted out of Esquimalt harbour and Victoria International Airport from May 8-19. Trident Fury is a war game, simulating a real war scenario. The public has been invited to watch this display of military might, which constitutes propaganda for war.
This joint military air and sea maneuver, involving Canada, US, UK and NATO, is intended to "interoperationalize" multinational forces under US command. The department of Defense website confirms that operations will include surface-to-air and air-to-air missile firings and the employment of air-to-surface weapons.
BC IS A NUCLEAR ARMS-FREE ZONE
In 1992, the legislature declared BC a nuclear-arms free zone, and in 1992, eight of ten municipalities in Greater Victoria supported an environmental assessment of visits by nuclear-powered and nuclear-arms-capable vessels to Victoria's urban harbour. In defiance of the province and municipalities, nuclear-powered and nuclear-arms-capable vessels have been circulating in BC waters and anchoring off Esquimalt for years.
Now in 2006, nuclear-arms-capable F-15 aircraft are flying from Victoria airport in Exercise Trident Fury. The Department of Defense claims that the B-52 Stratafortress is nuclear-arms-capable and that it will be flying out of a US base. DND continues to accept the US policy of neither confirming nor denying the existence of nuclear weapons aboard these planes. However, Lieutenant Commander Jonathan Myers cautioned that these are "war games", and scenarios can change without warning.
The nuclear-powered and nuclear-arms-capable vessel Abraham Lincoln participated in last year's Tridnet Fury exercise in the Comox area.
CANADA-The WAR MONGER
Exercise Trident Fury emphasizes Canada's offensive role in Afghanistan. This exercise could further jeopardize the security of Canada. Canadians didn't vote for Canada to become a warmonger.
War mongering will create enemies rather than friends.
DEEP MILITARY INTEGRATION WITH THE US
Canadians are concerned about US threats to bomb Iran with a specialized nuclear weapon and the possible connection between these exercises and the intent to bomb Iran.
Canadians have reason to fear the integration of our military with US led coalition, as represented by Exercise Trident Fury. Canada refused to join the "coalition of the willing" in the ill conceived and illegal act of invasion and occupation of Iraq. Most Canadians are proud of that decision.
Canada's sovereignty is increasingly under threat through deep integration with the US.
DISREGARD FOR SAFETY OF CITIZENS
Potential short and long-term environmental, psychological and health consequences could result from the magnitude of these military exercises. There has never been a real assessment of the impact of these exercises.
To ensure real security and safety, Canada must move from a cult of war to a culture of peace.

Why DID the Chicken...

Cross the road, you ask? Well I guess that depends on WHO you ask. For instance:

Subject: Why did the chicken cross the road?

GEORGE W. BUSH
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here.

AL GORE
I invented the chicken. I invented the road. Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people.

COLIN POWELL
Now at the left of the screen, you clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road. We are currently mobilizing forces to intercept the chicken before it can finish crossing.

HANZ BLIX
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.

MOHAMMED ALDOURI (Iraq ambassador)
The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete fabrication. We don't even have a chicken.

SADDAM HUSSEIN
This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

RALPH NADER
The chicken's habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV.

PAT BUCHANAN
To steal a job from a decent, hard-working American.

RUSH LIMBAUGH
I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross.

MARTHA STEWART
No one called to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the farmer's market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

JERRY FALWELL
Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's what they call it -- the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side."

DR. SEUSS
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes, The chicken crossed the road,
But why it crossed, I've not been told!


ERNEST HEMINGWAY
To die. In the rain. Alone.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

BARBARA WALTERS
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart-warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting and went on to accomplish its life-long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON
Imagine all the chickens crossing roads in peace.

ARISTOTLE
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

KARL MARX
It was an historical inevitability.

VOLTAIRE
I may not agree with what the chicken did, but I will defend to the death its right to do it.

RONALD REAGAN
What chicken?

CAPTAIN KIRK
To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

FOX MULDER
You saw it cross the road with your own eyes! How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it?

SIGMUND FREUD
The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES
I have just released eChicken 2003, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook - and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken.

ALBERT EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by chicken? Could you define chicken, please?

COLONEL SANDERS
I missed one?

ANCIENT CLOWN
From what perspective was this chicken seen making this cross-over? Was it making a tree as it crossed? Does it know a=b? Was it 'walking in the way' as he went? I'd like to speak to this chicken personally and get his side of this whole 'Cross' issue.

Some things we may just never know for sure...eh?

It takes a Village...

It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child and in my own case, that's how it was. Here's an ingredients list, (with an additional warning & reminder), that I found on the blog of a lovely lady from New Zealand. (thank you my dear).

ADVISORY WARNING: Children do NOT follow your parents as they have been lied to and mislead, so will do the same to you. Parents, follow your children, as they will lead you back to GOD.

INGREDIENTS of VILLAGE:
-Wise old person (more if on special)
-some grandparents or similar
-some aunts and uncles
-home: when we have to go there they have to take us in.
-some people who remember the parents as children
-builder
-crafters
-places to go often
-storyteller
-gardener
-share in tasks so know who made/grew possessions/food and how they did it
-community for parents: exchange of ideas, joy in the children, spread of responsibility
-someone with high expectations
-a gatherer
-a healer
-people to recognise when going places
-listener: someone warmly attentive
-bush savvy people
-adventurer
-variety pack of role models, particularly occupational
-Adults must demonstrate a range of successful ways of being (get extra if needed).
-variety pack of potential partners
-some friends whose parents are friends of the parents
-Other children must be varied enough to learn from, to teach, and to have changing or life-long alliances with.
-cousins (unruly brood, a dozen kids to know a long time)
-more siblings? (read packet, get good quality organic fair trade ones)
-Try for an integrated recipe for being, allow for variations in cooking practice.


I would only add one thing to this list, which is more of a reminder really:
Parents do not teach your children that you know everything when guiding them to their path, rather teach them everything you know, that they may improve on it and find their own way.
Have a great day everyone.

IF



IF
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream and not make dreams your master,
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And which is more you'll be a Man, my son!

-Rudyard Kipling-
This was found surrounded by even more beauty here.

Mothers In Silence

This is a moment of SILENCE
to be HEARD around the WORLD
The Quiet cries shared by every MOTHER of every child who has been killed in WAR.
Whether they had a gun or not.

This order was given by me as well
WHEN are you going to LISTEN?

To the cries of your be-lated...'MOTHER's day'

I sat in silence with you.

WAITING for NO MORE WAR

to be your present.

instead of just your cry.

This was posted, after a moment of silence and in honour of the GRAND-Mother's I met protesting on Mother's Day.

Though 'the world' did not hear you...I DID.

STOP COP THIEF !!!

CALLING ALL LAWYERS: So the police have THREATENED me yet again. This time with 'stealing' my trees. Said there are TOO MANY artists in town. They want me to 'beg' to be here...don't stand on my own two feet, eat at a fine dining restaurant, or stay in a hotel, by my own means.(not that the people here are generous enough for that anyway...I've already made over $1000.oo worth of trees just getting $20 each for them but I haven't even made much more than $20.oo total for them ALL)...why bother asking how many hours it takes to make one if you're only going to offer $1.50 or $2.00 for 2hrs work creating a unique piece of art. How much do you get paid an hour that you will "enslave" your artists, so you can brag about how cultured you are. "Starving Artist" is a term that illuminates just how much of a failure YOUR society is...or can you STILL not SEE that? Probably why it's being destroyed. So, should I let the police take my stuff or break their arms and charge them for stealing when they do? Theft is theft...they can say whatever they want to justify it but when they face GOD...theft is theft. Attempting to kill a prophet is STILL attempted murder even if GOD prevents you from being successful. As far as I'm concerned, I must view any and every contact with a police officer as another potential attempt on my life. Especially when they walk so unrighteously. I WILL, defend myself accordingly, as is my right...they may find that calling for the 'Angel of Death' to take me, instead brings that 'Angel' for the one who called. Then the survivors will know who I AM, and by what authority I walk this earth...and they won't be able to say they didn't hear...only that they didn't LISTEN.

IN THE BEGINNING

a little story that is very old...
Long, long ago, the earth was deep beneath the water. There was a great darkness because no sun or moon or stars shone. The only creatures living in this dark world were water animals such as the beaver, muskrat, duck and loon.
Far above the water-covered earth was the Land of the Happy Spirits, where the Great Spirit dwelled. In the center of this upper realm was a giant apple tree with roots that sank deep into the ground.
One day the Great Spirit pulled the tree up from its roots creating a pit in the ground. The Great Spirit called to his daughter, who lived in the Upper World. He commanded her to look into the pit. The woman did as she was told and peered through the hole. In the distance, she saw the Lower World covered by water and clouds.
The Great Spirit spoke to his daughter, telling her to go into the world of darkness. He then tenderly picked her up and dropped her into the hole. The woman, who would be called Sky Woman by those creatures watching her fall, began to slowly float downward.
As Sky Woman continued her descent, the water animals looked up. Far above them they saw a great light that was Sky Woman. The animals were initially afraid because of the light emanating from her. In their fear, they dove deep beneath the water.
The animals eventually conquered their fear and came back up to the surface. Now they were concerned about the woman, and what would happen to her when she reached the water.
The beaver told the others that they must find a dry place for her to rest upon. The beaver plunged deep beneath the water in search of earth. He was unsuccessful. After a time, his dead body surfaced to the top of the water.
The loon was the next creature to try to find some earth. He, too, was unsuccessful. Many others tried, but each animal failed. At last, the muskrat said he would try. When his dead body floated to the top, his little claws were clenched tight. The others opened his claws and found a little bit of earth.
The water animals summoned a great turtle and patted the earth upon its back. At once the turtle grew and grew, as did the amount of earth. This earth became North America, a great island.
During all this time, Sky Woman continued her gentle fall. The leader of the swans grew concerned as Sky Woman's approach grew imminent. He gathered a flock of swans that flew upward and allowed Sky Woman to rest upon their back. With great care, they placed her upon the newly formed earth.
Soon after her arrival, Sky Woman gave birth to twins. The first born became known as the Good Spirit. The other twin caused his mother so much pain that she died during his birth. He was to be known as the Evil Spirit.
The Good Spirit took his mother's head and hung it in the sky, and it became the sun. The Good Spirit also fashioned the stars and moon from his mother's body. He buried the remaining parts of Sky Woman under the earth. Thus, living things may always find nourishment from the soil for it springs from Mother Earth.
While the Good Spirit provided light, the Evil Spirit created the darkness. The Good Spirit created many things, but each time his brother would attempt to undo his good work.
The Good Spirit made the tall and beautiful trees, including the pines and hemlock. The Evil Spirit, to be contrary, stunted some trees or put gnarls and knots in their trunks. Other trees he covered in thorns or poisoned their fruit.
The Good Spirit made bear and deer. The Evil Spirit made poisonous animals such as lizards and serpents to destroy the animals created by his brother.
When the Good Spirit made springs and streams of pure crystal water, the Evil Spirit poisoned some and placed snakes in others. The Good Spirit made beautiful rivers. The Evil Spirit pushed rocks and dirt into the rivers creating swift and dangerous currents.
Everything the Good Spirit made his wicked brother attempted to destroy.
After the Good Spirit completed the earth, he created man out of red clay. Placing the man upon the earth, the Good Spirit instructed the man about how he should live. The Evil Spirit made a monkey from sea foam.
Upon completion of his work, the Good Spirit bestowed a protecting spirit upon all of his creations. This done, he called his brother and told him he must cease making trouble. The Evil Spirit emphatically refused. The Good Spirit became enraged at his brother's wickedness. He challenged his evil twin to combat. The winner would become the ruler of the world.
For their weapons they used the thorns of the giant apple tree. The battle raged for many days. The Good Spirit triumphed, overcoming his evil brother. The Good Spirit took his place as ruler of the earth and banished his brother to a dark cave under the ground. In this cave the Evil Spirit was to remain.
The Evil Spirit, however, has wicked servants who do his bidding and roam upon the earth. The wicked spirits are able to take any form and cause men to do evil things.
This is the reason that everyone has both a good heart and a bad heart. Regardless of how good a man is, he still possesses some evil. The reverse also is true. For however evil a man may be, he still has some good qualities. No man is perfect.
The Good Spirit continues to create and protect mankind. It is the Good Spirit who controls the spirits of good men upon their death. His wicked brother takes possession of the souls of those who are evil like himself. And so it remains.


I would like to remind ALL at this point that the "LAWS of MAN" are a myth only made real by those that CHOOSE to believe in them...as an intelligent man of GOD, I choose NOT to...it SHALL be GOD's LAW I follow.

A 'little' Humour


Subject: Test (with the posts that follow you can see why I needed something with a little humour).

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator? Wrong Answer.
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend... except one. Which animal does not attend?
Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?
Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old. Though If you feel like further testing your abilities against those of a child then please feel free to answer the riddle that is so simple a child has gotten the answer and yet so difficult only a child has gotten the answer...it's also left a certain judge without any answers.

Still Another 1000 Words Falling on Deaf Ears

Maybe you need to start reading between the lines.



Today I spoke to a bike cop who had three stripes on his sleeve. I'm guessing that's supposed to mean something, so I take him inside the homeless shelter and show him the video on one of the almost working computers we get to use and tell him I was a witness and to go arrest them. He says; "No!"
A little later I run into 'Mr. stripes' again with his partner jacking a few kids for their pot and trying to force one "too young" female to consent to a pat down search (feel up is more like it). I SEE now...he was too busy robbing and molesting the children to help me...thanks officer, for helping me SEE the TRUTH behind why you are here and what you really do.
That YOU people not only allow this behavior, but instead of standing behind your children...knowing this, you will STILL call the police on them for doing nothing, to be molested and abused...and that is more than a little sickening to me...BUT, what sickens me even more than that, is that this is not even close to being an isolated case, but rather the norm...and YOU don't care...cause what have you done about it.

UPDATE: Thursday, May25th (noon)
Today just around noon SGT.17 (badge#) came up to me, inside of "OUR PLACE" and, in front of witnesses, 'THREATENED' me to "Mind my own business, or else." I would like to take this opportunity to remind SGT.17 that I AM, under orders by the courts to "KEEP THE PEACE" which I shall interpret as I WILL. Fascinating how people think that just because they say;"I don't believe in GOD", that will somehow render GOD powerless, when truly, saying that really only renders themselves powerless.

UPDATE: THURSDAY, May25th (evening)
This evening, after already being threatened by one officer...two more came up to me while I was sitting and making a tree. They told me it was against the law to squat down(HOLY form of SITTING) on the sidewalk anywhere. This is my 'official warning'. I must restrict my sitting to benches only. However, most chairs/benches on the sidewalks are for "customer use only", thereby making me unable to afford to sit down...or use the bathroom...or sleep. I guess this is part of the "OR ELSE":
Nonstop harassment, and badgering, and torture until...something happens.

UPDATE: THURSDAY, July 6th(afternoon)
Another peaceful man of GOD attempting to fight for the rights of the poor was AGAIN arrested and today sentenced to 7 months...for sleeping under a tree and refusing to leave town.

GOD doesn't let this happen...YOU do...with your APATHY...because you know and do nothing.

INNOCENT until PROVEN Guilty

Unless you are POOR or worse...NATIVE





Yeah...hate crimes are against the law unless you're lucky enough to be making the hateful laws that are a crime unto themselves. BOTH of these officers should be charged with assault and conduct unbecoming a peace officer...but after 2 more cops arrived and I started to say something I was told to shut up and leave...I did not.
What do you think my chances are of finding anyone honest enough to DO anything about the racist, classist, snobbery that exists here in VICTORIA. B.C...and EVERYWHERE I've been traveling.
(WARNING: Don't vacation here unless you make over $75,000.oo and are WHITE.)

Aboriginal people often experience some of the following problems with respect to the criminal justice system: Aboriginal people make up roughly 18 per cent of the prison population in Canada, even although they are only 2.5 per cent of the overall population.

-Aboriginal accused are more likely to be denied bail;
more time is spent in pre-trial detention by Aboriginal people;
-Aboriginal accused are more likely to be charged with multiple offences, and often for crimes against the system;
-Aboriginal people are more likely not to have legal representation at court proceedings;
-Aboriginal clients, especially in northern communities where the court party flies in the day of the hearing, spend less time with their lawyers; as court schedules in remote areas are poorly planned, judges may have limited time to spend in the community;
-Aboriginal offenders are more than twice as likely to be incarcerated than non-Aboriginal offenders;
-Aboriginal Elders, who are also spiritual leaders, are not given the same status as prison priests and chaplains, in all institutions, and
-Aboriginal people often plead guilty because they are intimidated by the court and simply want to get the proceedings over with



Aboriginal Values:
Get along with group (conformity)
Get ahead for the group
Focuses on the present
Does not show fear when faced with difficult situations
Uses nature and maintains reverence for it (has respect for and a relationship with the land)
Awareness of the Creator
Acts of religion are spontaneous and can occur at any time

Non-Aboriginal Values:
Get ahead, or on top of the group
Get ahead for oneself
Focuses on the future
Does not always face difficult situations with an impassive face
Uses nature for personal
Spirituality is often in the background of one's life
Religion is compartmentalized (eg. Religious acts are restricted to certain days of the week)

Canada's incarceration rate is higher than most other Western democracies. We imprison 129 out of every 100,000 of our citizens. While this is less than some countries such as the United States (645), it's above countries such as France (110), England (104), Germany (95), Austria (86) and Norway (84). But adult Aboriginal people are incarcerated more than eight times the national rate. In Saskatchewan, the adult Aboriginal incarceration rate is over 1,600 per 100,000, compared to 48 per 100,000 for adult non-Aboriginals

I'm not sure how the genocide of Native Americans is any different than the genocide of JEWS, that so many sit by and let it happen, especially when Natives were so integral in codetalking during the WAR to save the lives of, WELL ALMOST EVERYONE...ALL THINGS CONSIDERING. Oh well, guess we don't need them anymore...so it's okay.

I was traveling through Toronto and staying at an International backpackers Hostel and woke up to seeing it on the news. I remember very clearing watching the eyes of the reporters and politicians and I could tell they were lying...and I wondered why?
I remember very clearly how the reports and the types of information being revealed were done so on a very suspicious nature...and I wondered why?
I remember them sensationalizing and continuously reshowing the plane hit the tower...time and time again...over and over...and I wondered why?
I remember very clearly thinking this is a very well orchastrated farce...I remember wondering why the United States Government would attack it's own buildings and try to make it look like terrorists...then I remember these are the same people who assassinated their own President years ago, they then announced how they had to attack Iraq again and it suddenly made sense.
I feel sorry for the American people that they should be so gullible.
They are who they follow...and they do not follow Jesus. And they will have to deal with those consequences.


Has your life changed since September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how?
It has made me realize the full extent that Liars, Murders and Thieves run our countries...all. It had made me realize the TRUTH, behind these wars and actions and how it is, in truth, just a war on the poor and God. These are Not men of God...My question to all who read this is?
How many people did Jesus kill? How many did He instruct me to kill in His name? If you do these things, are you not just liars and murderers and thieves who has missed His message and is now just lying to themselves and others?
I was anointed by God as the 'Leader of the Meek', the 'Voice of the Children' and the 'King of the Poor'. Thought you should know.


What do you think should be remembered about September 11th?
Nothing...it's just another day that mankind turned it's back on the Law's of God. It's just another day that feeds the liars to continue their "War on the Poor."

Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th? Have
your feelings about the American flag changed as a result of September
11th?

No I did not, nor do not. Any respect I had left for the "American Flag" or the "American People", which was already very little, disappeared after 911...when they so easily, from fear and ignorance, did what they did...but then all Governments make their decisions based on fear and greed. I wave no flag for there is not a country worthy of my allegiance.
I am the Leader of the Meek, the Voice of the Children, and the King of the Poor, as anointed by God and "All Under Heaven" is mine.
I would ask that you surrender please, and return to the Law's of God and the Love of Christ.

911 video

Posting this will probably have me classified as a terrorist...by the REAL terrorists, but never was I more ashamed to be Canadian, or a member of the United Nations as I was when, as a nation, we sat back and allowed what followed to happen...bringing dishonour to ALL of OUR Veterans of WORLD WAR II who gave their lives that THIS type of greedy aggression NEVER happen again.

Weekend Mission Cross-Word

Hello Warriors:
Your mission...should you choose to accept it...is an exercise in introspection.
Take your FULL name and cut out little squares of paper and put a letter on each square until you have used all the letters...and then make little crosswords with your name.


i.e.
A N C I E N T W A R D V A L L C L O W N



These are just a few examples using my name to hopefully inspire you to see what's in yours.

Have fun exploring !!!

Hunger

In honour of the newest country to join us (Hungary), a poem I was going to post at the end of the 'lost letter' but didn't...(everything for a reason). So I will post it now.

Hunger
I come among the peoples like a shadow.
I sit down by each man's side.
None sees me, but the look on one another,
And know that I am there.
My silence is like the silence of the tide
That buries the playground of children;
Like the deepening of frost in the slow night,
When birds are dead in the morning.
Armies trample, invade, destroy,
With guns roaring from earth to air.
Kings and chancellors give commands,
I give no command to any;
But I am listened to more than kings
And more than passionate orators.
I unswear words, and undo deeds.
Naked things know me.
I am the first and last to be felt of the living.
I am hunger.

a lost letter

Today, as I was walking...an older man than myself called down to me from a window above and asked if I would like to join him for a smoke of the holy herb...I agreed, respecting my elders and being open, and joined him.
It was from him that I received that which I am about to share with you.

a lost letter. (side 1)
TV
I am there from when you were young
been with you for some fun times
rotting your soul away slowly destroying you
constantly controlling you to do my wishes
you are my puppet and do as are told
you are so blind you can't even see
I am too charming to turn
away from, I am just what
you desire, I am

"NOW YOU KNOW...DO SOMETHING"
So many stupid people in the world
today...not even noticing.
There's so much violence and hate in
our society today
so much discrimination for not
suiting the criteria
so much racism, sexism
so much waste and consumption not even
valuing what we've got, not even realizing
what we're doing is wrong
so much illegal activities in government
and you don't even question
so many people that think the news is
real, 1000's of many people dieing every
day, so many people who dont know
that Coca Cola steals water from india and doesn't
give a f**k if they need it or not So many
4 yr old workers with a needle and thread stichin up
your nikes you got for $150 buck, and they got paid 30 cents.

Hate Crimes using Hate LAWS

It's against the LAW of MAN to use the gifts GOD gave you to care for yourself. You must be a slave or you're 'not allowed' to live. It's against the LAW to steal, unless you are the police or government...
"To SERVE ourselves & PROTECT the Rich".
We have laws against armed robbery, what about Laws against heartless snobbery?
I asked to use the bathroom at a SUBWAY restaurant and was refused unless I bought something...I pulled out my SUBWAY card and showed them my stamps and told him I WAS a customer, numerous times, and I didn't use the bathroom many of those times so they OWE me one. If they EVER want me to be a customer again they'd better turn their noses around and show some HUMAN COMPASSION.
I was allowed to go pee pee.


I devised a system so that everyone could afford me as my time is priceless and no one really can. It doesn't matter if your hands are full or even if you are in a hurry, you can still pay me.
So, what does it mean when the poor people and the children give me everything I need...but the rich people STILL can't afford me , not even the 'time of day' or 'eye contact', as they pass?


Do you SEE now why my heart bleeds for them all?
and how they are STILL trying to kill CHRIST...in all of us.
