From the page: “The United States long ago ceased to be anything like a living, thriving republic. But it retained the legal form of a republic, and that counted for something: As long as the legal form still existed, even as a gutted shell, there was hope it might be filled again one day with substance.

But now the very legal structures of the Republic are being dismantled. The principle of arbitrary rule by an autocratic leader is being openly established, through a series of unchallenged executive orders, perverse Justice Department rulings and court decisions by sycophantic judges who defer to power — not law — in their determinations. What we are witnessing is the creation of a “commander-in-chief state,” where the form and pressure of law no longer apply to the president and his designated agents. The rights of individuals are no longer inalienable, nor are their persons inviolable; all depends on the good will of the Commander, the military autocrat.

President George W. Bush has granted himself the power to declare anyone on earth — including any U.S. citizen — an “enemy combatant,” for any reason he sees fit. He can render them up for torture, he can imprison them for life, he can even have them killed, all without charges, with no burden of proof, no standards of evidence, no legislative oversight, no appeal, no judicial process whatsoever except those that he himself deigns to construct, with whatever limitations he cares to impose. Nor can he ever be prosecuted for any order he issues, however criminal; in the new American system laid out by Bush’s legal minions, the Commander is sacrosanct, beyond the reach of any law or constitution.

This is not hyperbole. It is simply the reality of the United States today. The principle of unrestricted presidential power is now being codified into law and incorporated into the institutional structures of the state, as the web log Deep Blade Journal reports in a compendium of recent outrages against liberty.“

See, the thing is, this is the Moscow Times. When would you have thunk that the flipping Moscow news media would be talking about the erosion of the USA as a republic, as a free country, and they’d be right?!? The freakin’ Moscow Times, God help us.

A response to Mr. Zacharia’s speech to the Mormons.

From the page:
“To: Ravi Zacharias, Atlanta, GA
From: Rauni Higley, Sandy, Utah

September 15, 2004

Dear Mr. Zacharias,

My name is Rauni Higley and I am a former Mormon, as is my husband, who comes from six generations of active Mormons. I am very troubled by your up-coming visit to speak in the Mormon Tabernacle in November. Let me explain why: ……..”

Did Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias stand down / back off in his defense of the Jesus of the Bible?

From the page: “It is time for Republicans who represent a Middle America that never wanted NAFTA to tell the White House the old talking points will no longer do. The open-borders, free-trade ideology of Clinton and Bush has run its course and begun to endanger our national existence.

Today, “free trade” is about something other than the simple exchange of goods. Henry Kissinger tipped the Trilateralists’ hand in 1993 when he wrote that NAFTA was the “architecture of a new international system,” a great “step forward toward the new world order.””

Israels attack on the USS Liberty, October 24, 2003

http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Strate/Salz/2003-10-24.htm

From the page: “After the initial battery of misinformation, the Pentagon imposed a news blackout on the Liberty disaster until after the completion of a Court of Inquiry investigation.

The inquiry was headed by Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd. Kidd didn’t have a free hand. He’d been instructed by Vice-Admiral McCain to limit the damage to the Pentagon and to protect the reputation of Israel.

Kidd interviewed the crew on June 14 and 15. The questioning was extremely circumscribed. According to Ennes, the investigators “asked nothing that might be embarrassing to Israel and testimony that tended to embarrass Israel was covered with a ‘Top Secret’ label, if it was accepted at all.””

From the page: “The policeman said ‘mind that hole, that’s where the bomb was’. The metal was pushed upwards as if the bomb was underneath the train. They seem to think the bomb was left in a bag, but I don’t remember anybody being where the bomb was, or any bag,” he said.”

So the British 911 has some inconsistencies in the official story. And as in our 911, there were some sorta anti-terrorrism exercices being run at EXACTLY the same time that the “attacks” occurred. The pictures of the “terrorists” at the stations now seem doctored, etc etc. God help us.

I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I’ve never done before.
I’ll never know What made it so exciting;
Why all at once My heart took flight. I only know when he
Began to dance with me I could have danced,
danced, danced all night!

What A Day That Will Be
Words and Music by Jim Hill


Mark 14:62
“And Jesus said, I AM:
and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven.”

There is coming a day when no heartaches shall come
No more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye.
All is peace forevermore on that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;

When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
There’ll be no sorrow there, no more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain, no more parting over there;
And forever I will be with the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day, glorious day that will be.
