Anarchy in the Royal Family

What do you think of the word "anarchy"?  Does it have a negative or even evil connotation in your mind?  Are you a Christian?  Have you ever said "No King but King Jesus?"  If so, and if you really mean it, then you are probably more of an anarchist than you realize.  

Anarchy simply means "without a king".  The context of anarchy is generally in a human sense, not a spiritual one, and the philosophy supporting it simply claims that no person has the right to claim ownership to another person.  Kings claim ownership, often by divine right, always by force and coercion to not only your property but also to you.  It is through this claim that they justify their right to levy taxes, make rules and enforce them with guns, conscript soldiers and slaves, and confiscate property.

In a Kingdom there are serfs, lords, and then there is the Royal family.  The serfs are the population whose lives and property are the property of the king, they are not part of the Royal family and are not politically well connected enough to be a Lord.  Serfs pay homage to the king via taxation, and are subject to the king's laws and decrees at the threat of violence.  The Lords are the friends of the King who he has given land or privilege to, lords can also collect taxes on their lands and subject the serfdom on their lands to their laws.  And then there is the Royal family, which should need no additional explanation, this is the king and his family.

That's all real interesting, but we live in America, we don't have a king, right?  Well here's a test.  Are you free to use your property as you see fit?  How about your car, who needs those pesky tags right? Or your life?  Are you free to not pay the taxes levied on the fruit of your own labor via the income tax if you don't agree with the policies of the government?  Of course not.  You are a serf.  The Federal Government is the King, and the power brokers behind the scenes are the Royal family.  Quite often the power brokers are literally families that have been in power for decades if not centuries who control the political and economic forces that are used to control us. In this kingdom the Lords are the corporations, who are given special privileges and access to the royal treasury and to the royal guard in order to protect and expand their property.  We are the serfs, subject not only to the laws and decrees of the king with regards to taxation, conscription into military service, and obedience to untold number of regulations (decrees), but we are also subject to the will of the Lord's (corporations) as they use their special privileges to force us to accept their will in regards to the products and services we are given the choice to live by.  This entire kingdom is predicated on the assumption that you are the property of the Federal Government.  A powerful elite has set themselves up on the throne of God almighty and assumed ownership of you.

The word "anarchy" has been derided and redefined through our public (royal) education system, and through the mass media (royal propaganda), because it is a dangerous idea to the underpinnings of fraudulent kingdom you are being forced to participate in.  If you were to consider the possibility that you belong to yourself, and that no other person has the right to claim ownership of you or your property, then you may experience what is called "cognitive dissonance" when your mind attempts to reconsile the idea of self ownership with the demands of your king to pay taxes, buy car tags, renew licences (what are we pets?), or participate in any other "mandatory" activity.  Anarchist see the individual as not only owners of themselves, but also sovereign, and this sovereignty is in direct conflict with the sovereignty the government claims over you.  In fact this is evidenced by the fact that they must use violence, or the threat of it in order to coerce you to obey their decrees.  Violence and fraud are particularly repulsive to an anarchist because these kinds of acts are violations against the victims property and sovereignty. It is better for the "kings" if you remain ignorant, or even repulsed by the words and ideas of self ownership, because of where these ideas may lead your thinking.

Many Christians may shy away from the anarchist ideology because of the concept of self ownership.  We are taught that we were purchased by Christ, and that we belong to God.  But a closer examination of this idea will lead you to some interesting conclusions. We need to build a bit of a foundation to get there so lets take a look at these verses:

• Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them;"

It is clear that God establishes himself as the only God.  We should place no other God (or King) before him. Nor shall we bow down to any idol, or symbol that is either representative of him, a human king, an animal, or any other thing.  On this premise alone the claim of ownership upon you by a human King must be rejected.

• Revelation 21:3 :And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

The intent of God is to dwell with us, not to exist distantly separated from us.  That he will live with us and be our God, and that his tabernacle will be with us.  

• John 4:24 "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

God is a spirit, and must be interacted with as such.  Our interaction with him must be according to his nature (spirit) and it also must be accurate (truth).  Idolatry is wrong because it is an interaction with God via the physical, not the spiritual, it is neither spirit nor truth.  Legalism is wrong because it is an intellectual interaction with him, it is truth, but not spirit.  Mysticism is wrong because it is only a spiritual interaction, spirit but not truth.

• Luke 17:20 "Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you.” "

The kingdom that God rules over cannot be seen because it is spirit, like Him.  If you can see the kingdom you are subject to, that is a pretty good indication that it is not God's kingdom and you are practicing idolatry. 

• 1 Corinthians 6:19 it says: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."   
• 1 Corinthians 3:16 "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?" 

Here is the establishment of God's ownership of us.  An anarchist would cringe at this prospect.  But as a believer we understand that God doubly owns us.  He created us, and then he also purchased us at the Cross. This is how he established the Kingdom that we are able to live in with him.  Our bodies are His tabernacle, and his dwelling place is not only among us, but within each individual.  He is "among" another because he is "within" me when I am near them, and them me.

• Galations 4:4 "But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law,5 to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”  7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir."

And now we see the radical departure of the traditional kingdom model.  There are no serfs or Lords in the kingdom of God, only Royal family. God adopting us and and making us heirs.  God's very nature living within and among us, our bodies serving as the physical location of his throne and temple.  This is difficult to equate in terms of human government.  Even if a human king were to adopt you and make you an heir, the human king still could not use your body to locate his kingdom, because the human king is human, physical, not spiritual.

As a Christian if I  identify with the word "anarchist" I don't see how I can be violating any Christian principles, in fact, in order to be able to prepare my body to become the dwelling place of God, one of the first things I must do is deny any recognition of ownership by any other human being or object or idol.  In fact if God not only owns me, has made me his son, and also dwells within me, to live as if my body were the property of any other power seems quite ridiculous.

Living life in this paradigm should radically change how we behave and interact with others.  When we view others as tabernacles of God we can instantly see why the principles of anarchy become very important in our control of our physical bodies.  Every individual is the physical manifestation of the spiritual presence of God. If a person commits an act of violence or fraud, or makes a false claim of ownership to another person or their property, they are in reality putting themselves in the place of God himself.

"No King but King Jesus?", yes, and embracing and understanding anarchy is where it begins.

God is in you.

Your heart is wicked and cannot be trusted, it behaves this way out of an instinctual attempt to guarantee its own survival. Your heart will never enter into an agreement where it must sacrifice something for itself in order to provide for another, it goes against it's nature. Even the motherly instinct to protect a child is born out of an instinctual desire to protect the continuation of your genetic identity. Even animals do it. Your heart is the seat of your desires, and it only cares about itself, and the projection of its genetic identity into the future.

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? -Jeremiah 17:9

Your mind can be taught and become aware of moral principles that conflict with the desires of your heart.  The suppression of your heart's desires when they conflict with the moral principles within your mind is the outworking of religion or law. This suppression of desire will cause your body to experience stress as your heart reacts to what it perceives as a threat to its survival. This stress will eventually manifest as physical and mental illness.

Some religions teach the training of the mind to overpower the desires of the heart, some religions teach the training of the mind to ignore the desires of the heart.  Sometimes governments are instituted to use force to externally control those who are unable to otherwise control their body's as they respond to the desires of their heart, and not yield to the moral controls inculcated within the mind. All of these options still leave you with a heart that desires one thing, and a mind that desires another, this in-congruence leads to unhappiness. Substance abuse and insanity are often a result of one's attempt to rectify this conflict between the mind and the heart by numbing or deranging the mind so that it ceases to recognize the dissonance. Suicide is an attempt to either put an end to the pain caused by the unmet desires of the heart, or to put an end to the stress caused by the minds awareness of the depravity of those desires, whether that identification as depravity is born out of truth or not.

Blind faith, blind obedience to authority, and religion are all derangement of the mind. A belief of the mind that does not coincide with action born from the true desire of the heart. It is a mental disorder and a division of the integrity of your person. Religions of the mind project an imagination of a God or power that is outside and other than you as a person and that sets an expectation or otherwise coerces the you to conform the actions of your body to the knowledge of your mind despite the desires of your hearts.   I understand the that the word "Islam" literally means "submit", and one of the principles in that religion is called "jihad" which means to struggle.  The submission of the heart to the mind is indeed a struggle.  Other religions use guilt or the promise of reward to provide the reasons the mind needs to overcome the heart's evil desires. Religions of science can be used to attempt to fill the mind with reason and then use that reason to control the desires of the heart.  Governmental systems, which are a form of idolic worship, often use propaganda to inculcate within the mind a certain expectation of behavior that they then enforce with violence.  Governments often justify their power to use violence by either becoming an intermediary to God, or by setting themselves up as the outside authority (God) and then give themselves a "mandate" to rule (control the behavior of others) by force.

John 4: 21 "Woman," Jesus replied, "believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."

God is a spirit and our minds cannot reasonably understand Him (or accept him as truth) because we lack the faculties to do it (we cannot see, touch, smell, hear, or taste God), and our hearts have no interest in Him. In the old testament God established himself in reality by manifesting his presence in a physical temple, and then established laws, on physical tablets of stone, that people were taught (with their minds), so that they could come into his presence and know about Him. The justification to their minds for conforming their bodies to those laws (against the will of their hearts), was the physical evidence of God's existence though his presence in the Temple and the recollection of the physical miracles he performed to demonstrate not only his power but also his reality. This gave the mind a reason to conform to the law of God, he was real. God did this in order to establish His identity among us, and he chose Israel to carry and protect the history of that identity though time.  God never intended to relate to us permanently though the temple/law structure, however he had to establish His identity in reality in order to provide the proper context for his ultimate intention and the purpose of Christ.  If He were not to have done this, then the identity and purposes that Christ claimed would have been meaningless, and by "meaningless" I mean that we would not have been able to understand the meaning of it with our minds.

The apostle Paul was well educated (with his mind) as to the law of God (Acts 22:3). So much so that he had trained his self to identify with it as who he was. When he would act "outside of his mind" he recognized that it was the desires of his heart within him acting, disconnected and separate from what his mind wanted to do (Romans 7) "Sin living within him".  Because Paul was well educated in doctrines that he believed to be true it motivated him to want to conform his body to those doctrines, and not only so, but also to coerce others to conform their bodies through violence, hence his persecution of Christians (Acts 22:4).  He identified sin as a wholly separate being acting unreasonably from within him, and others.  He rightly defined sin as any action that was born from a desire of the heart that was not in congruence with the knowledge of the will of God.  Paul's solution to this problem as a zealous Jew was to use violence to force compliance, but his solution as a Christian was much different.

The finite nature of the environment in which we live, combined with the fact that we are powerless over death cause our instinctive hearts to attempt amass as much as it needs for survival, pleasure and longevity. This activity becomes immoral rapidly as we are convinced by our hearts to commit fraud and trespass against other people in order to obtain what we need to survive, or as we use violence against them in order to force them to conform to our mind's interpretation of moral behavior. We literally begin to live by stealing the necessities of life from others, even our sociological systems begin to manifest these sins in the realities of poverty, all forms of violence, and war. The trespasses we commit against others do not happen outside of the reality of the existence of God, no matter how ignorant we may be, or may have forced ourselves to be. Inevitably, no matter the training of our mind,  our hearts often take charge of our actions, and commit injustices against God and others. The obverse also happens, in our mental attempt to conform our reality to our minds understanding of morality, we use violence to coerce others to behave in the way that we see fit. These trespasses must be reckoned in order for the God who claims he is a God of justice to be so.   We are either sacrificing our morality, or our desires in an attempt to survive and find peace in living.

But Samuel replied: "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. -1 Samuel 15:22

God does not desire this kind of sacrifice however. He desires obedience, the difference being that sacrifice is the physical outworking of the mind despite the desire of the heart (the desire of the heart is what is being sacrificed), and obedience is the physical outwork of the mind and heart in agreement with one another. Similarly, enforcing a moral understanding of God on others with violence, even if the moral understanding is born of truth, is a sacrifice of the desire of the heart of another, as well as our own.  God prefers mercy to this kind of coerced sacrifice.  God doesn't not intend for his Children to accept or enforce His existence by means of any sacrifice outside or in addition to the sacrifice of Christ, but instead by means of internal desire and intellectual understanding.  

For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. -Hosea 6:6

Jesus said that if we "want" or desire to save our life, then we will lose it (Matthew 16:25), but if we lose our life we will save it.  The wicked and instinctual desires of the heart are simply behavior without a consideration for morality for the sole purpose of physical survival. Ironically, to follow these desires is to guarantee death, because we ultimately don't have the power to eternally perpetuate our own survival. To submit to our heart's desire to survive is to guarantee our death.  It is the want or desire to save our life that must be sacrificed in order to be moral, but that desire must be lost altogether in order to have life in the power of God. 

This conflict between the mind and the heart is the dynamic that motivates the actions of our body.  It is as if our mind and our heart are arguing with one another.  If the heart has a desire that is stronger than the mind's reason for not satisfying it, then the mind will submit to the heart and the body will act accordingly. If the mind can provide to the heart a strong enough reason not to satisfy a desire then the heart will submit to the mind and the body will act accordingly.   Because the spirit of God lived within Christ's heart, and the knowledge of God was within his mind, he was able to give us a model as to how God intended us to live in peace without this constant conflict. God chose to allow the voluntary sacrifice of the life of Christ to serve as justice for the trespasses we committed while acting out of our ignorance and out of the nature of our instinctual hearts. The resurrection of Christ from the dead provided the physically knowable reason for our minds to trust in him, and it demonstrated His power over the primary motivator of our instinctual heart, death. When we accept the sacrifice of Christ alone, the mind is able to provide to our instinctual hearts a reason so powerful that it ultimately brings about the death of all our wicked desires. God does not leave us as minds with dead hearts, but He puts within us a new heart with new desires.

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26

"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." -Psalm 37:4

True Christianity teaches us to train our minds with the knowledge of God, and that God desires to literally enthrone his spiritual self within your heart at the seat of your desires. The spirit God who cannot be detected by the faculties of the mind or body, instead of making himself manifest in a temple or idol or through a miracle or coercion, makes himself manifest by taking up residence in the heart of a human being, changing the nature of the seat of the man's desires. The knowledge of God plus his desires (His will) coming from within us cause our minds and our hearts to be at peace with one another. Jesus taught that the Kingdom of God is within us (Luke 17:21), and Paul taught us that the entire secret of the mystery of the universe can be boiled down to this: Christ is in you (Col 1:24-27). The solution is that our new heart becomes the new temple of God.

"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?" 1 Cor 3:16

When you pray, or relate to God, if you do so to a God that is "out there", or if you live as if you are being coerced to behave by a God "up in heaven" or "out there" or in a church or temple or in the teachings of a dead person or of a living person that is trying to control you with guilt or the promises of fleshly rewards, then you are worshiping an idol. God is not "up there". He is inside of you.

Practice the presence of God by focusing your mind on your heart and recognizing the Kingdom of God (who's origin is the Cross of Christ) is inside of you and capable of directing your desires and providing a peaceful agreement between what your mind knows and what your heart wants. Do this by focusing your mind on the words of the prayer that Jesus taught us:

Our father, who is in heaven (in our hearts), Hallowed by your name (which is our name, because you are our father). Your Kingdom Come (in our hearts), Your will be done (by our minds causing our bodies to act according to the desires of our hearts), On earth (through our bodies) as it is in Heaven (in our hearts). Give is this day our daily bread (so we won't worry about death), And forgive our trespasses (when we did worry about death and stole from another by fraud or violence or only acted out of knowledge and tried to coerce others to conform to that knowledge), As we forgive those who trespass against us (in this way the forgiveness of God is manifest through our bodies). Lead us not into temptation (by replacing the seat of our desires in our hearts), But deliver us from evil (by allowing our minds to know how to control our bodies thereby removing us as a threat to others and others as a threat to us).

Bread, Wine, Body, Blood, Jesus

Reflecting on Good Friday, I think about the last supper, the meal of wine and bread that Jesus shared with his disciples prior to his crucifixion.

"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body." Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it. "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many," he said to them." - Mark 14:22-24

In many ancient traditions life sustaining foods such as grain were actually considered to be the very bodies of the gods that provided it. Likewise the wine from grapes and fermented liquids from other fruits and grains were considered to be the very blood of the god. The change and action caused by fermentation being seen as the very spirit of the god. "By taking the grain or wine into their bodies, as food and fermentation, human beings brought into themselves the body of the sacred themselves." (from the book: "Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers" by Stephen Harrod Buhner).

If this is true then it is shocking when you consider the last supper of Christ. When he said about the wine, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" and about the bread, "This is my body, which is for you", the people surrounding Jesus would have clearly understood the similarity between what he was saying and the pagan rituals, and the implication of what he was saying and doing would have been scandalous and profound. They would have instantly hearkened back to when he said "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him."John 6:56. It would not have been symbolic at all, the people surrounding the table of the last supper would have had a clear and real cultural context for the significance of the bread and the wine as His body and blood.

Jesus was not simply stating that he was a god, nor was he just the Messiah of the Hebrews, he was making it clear, he was the God of gods. That even the body and blood of the pagan gods that many worshiped belonged to him, and that the salvation and presence of God that many sought by eating the "flesh" and drinking the "blood" of these gods could truly only be found through His physical flesh and blood that just a few hours later would be consumed for the salvation of the world.

The pagans were not flippant or foolish about their beliefs, the grain and the wine brought life their physical bodies, and it was reasonable to them that their search for the power that would ultimately overcome death should follow this same pattern. They participated in this ritual honoring the creation for its power to sustain life, but despite the spirit they called upon, or the fervency by which they conjured it, they were left seeking.

We might look upon these ancients as ignorant heathens, but Jesus came not to condemn them, nor did he share in their ritual to mock them. Just as many religious Jews were finally confronted in Christ with the reality of the Messiah that their traditions had been leading them to, so also were the worshippers of the earth and every other deity finally confronted with the power they were seeking, and not in a foreign tradition, but through the body and blood, in the grain and the wine, as they were accustomed.

As we consider the last supper of Christ, consider, that in a very real sense ancient people performed a similar ritual for thousands of years before Christ with the firm and true belief that they were partaking in the body of their god, who had no power to save them, and now similarly, we partake in a very real way of the body and blood of Christ, who can.

How media hacks count.

At the Ron Paul rally in Oklahoma City on the 25th of February, 2012, police estimated that there were over 3000 in attendance. The Ron Paul campaign website claimed 1700. I was at the rally, there were quite a few people there, definitely 1700 if not 3000.

Ron Paul Rally, OKC 25 Feb 2012

News9.com of Oklahoma City covered the event claiming:

The Paul crowd outside the capitol was estimated at a little more than 1,000.

And then they had to follow it up with:

About 2,000 people were at a rally for Rick Santorum in OKC and 500 showed up to hear Newt Gingrich speak last Monday.

Strangely enough when this same news organization covered the actual Santorum visit on February 9th, they claimed:

Santorum greeted a crowd of nearly 1,000 supporters Thursday morning at Magnuson Hotel and Convention center near Interstate 40 and Meridian.

Rick Santorum Rally in OKC, 9 Feb 2012

The tagline on the story about Ron Paul's visit was clearly meant to belittle the Ron Paul gathering by comparing it to the Santorum gathering which was claimed to be twice as big. However, it simply wasn't true, not true to fact, and not even true to this news organizations own previous reporting of the event. It's looks as if the exact opposite of what they claimed is actually what transpired.

Shame on you News 9, I hope the votes aren't counted the same way that you guys count crowds.

Ron Paul is a modern day prophet

Jeremiah 28: 9 "As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet."

Harry Potter isn't the witch you should be concerned about.

Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command of the LORD, he has rejected you as king. 1 Samuel 15:23

Whenever I would read this verse I always had a hard time relating witchcraft to rebellion. What on earth do they have to do with each other? Not that it really matters anyway, because witchcraft is a pretty uncommon practice in today's world, right? I mean I know that witchcraft is bad, but quite honestly I couldn't see the difference between the sorcery in "Harry Potter" and the same in "The Lord of the Rings", the former being derided as an evil that is being thrust upon our children under the guise of literature and the latter being a magnificent work of Christian fiction. Witchcraft? Rebellion? Harry Potter, bad. Gandolf, good. Isn't it all just fantasy anyway? I just didn't get it.

Then I was reading a Christian author by the name of Derek Prince who said that witchcraft is basically any attempt to control another person by manipulation and intimidation with the goal of domination. Prince’s definition of witchcraft in a Christian context opened my eyes:

"Witchcraft is the attempt to control people and get them to do what you want by the use of any spirit that is not the Holy Spirit and if anyone has a spirit that he can use, it is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God, and no one uses God."

It made much more sense when I realized that witchcraft does not consist of casting magical incantations and riding brooms, instead it is the setting one's self up as King in rebellion to God and demanding of others that YOUR will be done. Now I saw not only the connection between witchcraft and rebellion, but also that witchcraft is a very common thing.

As a student of liberty, and with my eyes now opened to the prevalence of witchcraft in our society, the controlling nature of witchcraft reminded me of the non-aggression principle. According to the non-aggression principle any unsolicited actions of others that physically affect an individual’s property, including that person’s body, no matter if the result of those actions is damaging, beneficiary or neutral to the owner, are considered VIOLENT when they are against the owner’s free will and interfere with his right to self-determination.

With this definition of witchcraft in mind please also pay close attention to how violence is viewed within the non-aggression principle. I typically thought of violence simply as brute force, but according to the non-aggression principle, violence is ANY unsolicited action that physically affects another person, even if we believe it may result in their benefit.

Putting these ideas together I came to this conclusion: The initiation of violence is witchcraft.

American Christendom is suffering from a dangerous delusion. We are ever so eager to applaud our own restraint as we abstain from Harry Potter novels in abhorrence of ungodly "witchcraft" while at the same time living (and voting) in such a way that condones statements such as this one:

"Don’t give me this idea — I hear this: ‘Oh, you’re a moralist. You’re trying to impose your values.’ Everybody’s trying to impose their values. That’s what America’s about." -Rick Santorum

The key word in the above quote is:

impose: to put or set by or as if by authority: to impose one's personal preference on others.

In order to impose you assume authority (set yourself up as king) and then demand that your will be done. This is witchcraft, and especially so when violence is justified in its application. For this statement not to be one of witchcraft the word must be changed to:

persuade: to induce to believe by appealing to reason or understanding; convince.

It must be understood that if violence is used then the persuasion is forfeited. With violence, the other party is not submitting because of an act of their will, but instead by an act of witchcraft.

The cartoonization of witchcraft via Harry Potter and the like have served as a convenient distraction and scapegoat to hide the blatant fact that we have become a nation of witches in rebellion to God. No longer do we appeal to reason and our respect for each person's individual humanity, freedom and personal responsibility when we desire to convince someone to change. Instead, like a coven of gaggling hags, we rally around a self-congratulating moral propaganda and in pursuit of our will have no qualms with resorting not only to unsolicited acts of “benevolent” and "preventative" violence, but even to the brutality of war.

We do not have a right to impose our beliefs upon others. It is witchcraft, it shows a disregard for human dignity, and it is also disobedience to the will and authority of God. When combined with a stubborn, prideful superiority what is created is a idolic doctrine that perpetuates itself through emotional appeals to patriotic platitudes as it marginalizes the “unrighteous” who become the target of its imposition. We may fool ourselves for a while by redefining words in order to create the illusion that we despise evil and that our actions are good, but sooner or later truth always becomes evident, and it also demands obedience.

Harry Potter is not the witch we should be concerned about. He, just like Gandolf the Grey, are sorcerer’s of fantasy, to be enjoyed within the realm of imagination. In reality our ignorance to the witchcraft we practice daily is wreaking havoc on our families, our communities, and the cancer of it spreads to affect even our nation’s polices toward other cultures resulting in bloody wars.

Jesus said in Luke 6:31, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." The Patriot and statesmen Ron Paul said, “If we believe strongly in our ideals, the best way to spread them is to set a good example so that others will voluntarily emulate us. Force will not work.” Have you been convinced that this statement is true? If so please do not let rebellion and stubbornness cause you to dismiss this sobering reality. Now is the time to really make a change, and the sooner we make it, the less painful will be the correction. Let us repent of witchcraft, turn back to our nation’s foundations, and from there emulate the goodness that is at the true core of who we are.

Questions.

Before you speak disparagingly about all the people in your city who are not working and living off welfare, or about the financial bailouts, or national healthcare please first ask yourself some questions:

1. Have I taken someone under my wing and taught them how to work, or do I assume that everyone was raised in such a way to develop a good work ethic?


2. Do I spend my money in such a way that would support the jobs in my local economy, or am I motivated mostly by fashionable corporate trends and immediate savings?


3. Do I invest my money in such a way that creates business and job opportunities in my local economy, or do I only concern myself with tax sheltering and monetary bottom line value?


4. When I die will the wealth I have accumulated stay in my local economy, or will it be distributed to my children who have moved to urban centers in order to get the few remaining non-foreign jobs with the companies that my retirement investments financed and my spending habits support?


5. Have I taken political action to reform the welfare system that I speak so virulently about, or do I secretly love it because it provides a way that I don't have to spend my time and money personally helping to "those" people?


6. Does my argument against welfare come from a position of integrity or do I find myself supporting other forms of welfare without so much as questioning them such as agricultural programs, public schools, foreign military bases, government flood insurance, etc?


7. Do I go on and on about the evils of our government bail outs, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief because much of my retirement savings was invested in the Wall Street financial sector instead of in local enterprises?


8. Is my house, car, furniture, and church building nicer than it would have been if we would have had to help the poor in our community instead of turning that responsibility over to government and then griping about it?


9. Do I argue vehemently about how we cannot afford the banker bailouts and nationalized healthcare, and wax eloquently about how these programs will never work and will actually harm the very things they are intended to protect, but never question the expenses and harms of our undeclared wars, unpopular foreign policy and militarism?


10. Do I rail on about how big corporations should be punished and regulated and crooked politicians should be recalled or jailed but never question the glue that binds big business to our politicians' purses which is the politically motivated fiat money creating powers of the private Federal Reserve Bank?


11. Is my fear of radical islam rational or is my behaviour being motivated by means of a Freudian mind trick playing on my emotions? Why am I not as willing to give my government powers and why is my government not seeking power based on the fear of bee stings or lightening strikes considering that these events kill many more people than do radical muslim terrorists?


12. Why do I support the environmental regulation of businesses by the same system that created, by means of it's fiat money powers, our environmentally unsustainable consumption based economy from which it garners it's power?


13. Are the policies and actions I support with regard to the state of Israel born out of a faith that God will protect them from their enemies including from a disproportionately militarily ill-equipped Iran or are they born out of a fear that He won't, can't, or isn't real?
