Some of you good people know that I have been on somewhat of a vacation, in recent weeks; winter and spring of 2003.  My most recent grueling efforts of quite a few years can be viewed at GLOBAL noahhite CAMPUS CONCEPT, which is a growing hope for anonymous recovery. This is probably for my posterity, even though a portion of it might be completed in my life time. But none the less, the time off has really given me an opportunity to become some what informed about what is going on, relative to terrorism.

     To start this subject maybe we need a definition of the word:

terrorism  The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

ideology  The body of ideas reflecting the social needs and aspirations of an individual, group, class, or culture. A set of doctrines or beliefs that form the basis of a political, economic, or other system.

     Possibly, the most important thing about this definition is that this violence is preformed by a person, or a group, not by a government.  Was shocked recently, when I learned that in 1983 a cult in Oregon used food poisoning on their opposition, trying to get people not to vote, so that they could get a law on the books, in that community, regarding their compound that was established, in the State of Oregon.  Obviously, they targeted certain restaurants in a targeted area of town, that their opponents frequented.  Ultimately, that guy, with sixty some Rolls Royce vehicles, that he had been given by its members in the cult, was deported from our United States.

     Maybe a case can be made, that we are acting through a vein of terror, based on the preceding definition, in trying to be sure that we are totally committed to disposing a known dictator, that is obviously the most fearful of men, in recent years, judged by his actions, not his intentions, considering the way that he has treated several of his neighbor nations in the way of invading or attacking them, not to mention the way he has experimented on his own people with bio and chemical weapons, to the devastating death of many thousands of people, known as the Kurds, in Northern Iraq, since we are seeking a political change in Iraq.  But since we have the unanimous vote of the Security Council of the United Nations in November of 2002, and the full support by a very large majority of the House of Representatives, and the Senate, we might have to act, through force, on the will of informed people, not hate, fear, ignorance, nor revenge.  Personally, I am not pleased that my name is of French descent, based on what the French did, in more recent United Nations negotiations.

     When the "war on terror" was announced by this administration, I was really disheartened.  One only need think about the "war on poverty," and the "war on drugs," and their commensurate results so far, to think that we might be headed up the wrong road.  One of my favorite sayings, of decades ago was, "If something happens twice, it will happen a third time."

     The forth tradition, of the original anonymous fellowship, states: "There would be real danger should we commence to call some groups "wet," others "dry," still others "Republican" or "Communist," and yet others "Catholic" or "Protestant."  It took quite a few years for that to really sink in, as to what some consider the two political party system really is, in this county.  I remember how little interest I had in the civics class, when I was in junior high school, now called middle school.

     My dad was a life long registered democrat.  Personally, I have never voted for anyone that was not a republican.  In my dad's defense, he was from a generation that believed that the Democrat's Party cared about the working man.  In his day, there was not as much emphasis on special interest groups, as there is today, in the political arena that we are in the middle of.  But rest assured, I have not voted since I cast a ballot for Ronal Reagan, for his second term.  When the next election came around, I would have voted for the Libertarian candidate, had I been where I could have voted; just happened to be out of state, at the time, and got in the habit of not voting, basically because I did not like my name being turned over to the judicial system, so that I could be called as a potential juror.

     The main reason for that though was a video clip was observed, with both parties represented, at a global organization function, acting as the best of friends.  The aspiring righteous will never be able to live with the secular.  Why are they such opposites, in public view?  It is time for elected officials to be about the people's business, not the politician's business.  But I do understand that in this country, there are about two hundred million eligible voters.  The make up of real voters might be about forty million democrats, about forty million republicans, and about twenty million swing voters; don't have a clue about the actual numbers  though.  There are one hundred million of us that do not vote.  And today, I can only cast my vote for God's party, which is not political at all.  And if you would like God's opinion of politicians, lawyers, judges, and rulers, please read Psalm 58.  The different words are used in different translations.  Please understand however, that statesmen care about the people, public opinion be damned, not their careers.  And politicians like to be popular, because they are people pleasers.

     Now back to the two party political system. Recently viewed a program on C-Span where one of the participants stated, "I am an independent, which means I dislike democrats and republicans with an equal amount of disdain."  Sounds like no mans land to me.  Let us start with the definition of the word communism:

communism  1. A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members. 2. Communism; A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people. b. The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat.

     Now we need the definition of the words socialism and proletariat:

socialism . 1.a. A social system in which the means of producing and distributing goods are owned collectively and political power is exercised by the whole community. b. The theory or practice of those who support such a social system. 2. The building of the material base for communism under the dictatorship of the proletariat in Marxist-Leninist theory.

proletariat 1.a. The class of industrial wage earners who, possessing neither capital nor production means, must earn their living by selling their labor. b. The poorest class of working people. 2. The propertyless class of ancient Rome, constituting the lowest class of citizens.

     It is becoming my opinion that one of the things that has this world in such an up roar is that Communism failed in the old Soviet Russia, and is now in decline in the rest of the world, because the Republican Administration of President Ronald Reagan defeated it due to the escalation of defense, and didn't even have to fire one shot, to accomplish this miraculous feat.  But we are now seeing an increase of violence, by the under privileged of the world, basically, those that have no hope, because they are ruled by ruthless detestable dictators, that oppress, kill, maim, torture, rape - in front of family members, and experiment on their own citizens.  This is not to suggest that America's record is clean nor pure.  But our living document of the constitution lets us keep making changes towards perfection, through elected officials.  Dictators have no one to be responsible to.  However, they cannot be voted out of office.  Need we mention that Germany, under Hitler, was a socialist nation?  Need I also mention that activist judges, that do not base their justice, on their interpretation of the constitution of the United States of America, or their individual state's constitution, are no better than the terrorists.

      For accuracy, let us note that the actual collapse of the Soviet Union really occurred under the Presidency of George Bush, in 1989, if I am not mistaken.  As a matter of fact, before the election in 1992, there was a sense about me that wanted the then President Bush - #41 - as far away from Washington as he could be, just incase something bad went down, here in America, and did not want his good name tarnished by any disaster.  As it turned out, within a few days after the inauguration, in 1993, the first hit on the World Trade Center occurred.

     Need we be reminded that it was ten years ago exactly, in February, that the first real terrorist attack hit the shores of this county, with the first bombing of the World Trade Towers?  Several months ago, I saw a documentary on how they had to rebuild a few floors of that facility, and was shocked at how many hundreds of millions of dollars the repair cost. That cost was almost identical, compared to the complete general construction cost of a four hundred acre theme park, built a few years earlier, in a southern state.  And when the known cost of what the next hit on that facility is still costing America, something is needed to protect and boost the lingering post September 11, 2001 economy.  The 911 attack was really a shock to the entire world.

     Some do not believe that there is good and evil in this world; I do. To me, the ones that do not recognize evil as being in this world, I suggest that they too are anarchists. Simply put, we are either for lawfulness, or lawlessness.  Some remember reading, in the Scriptures, in an old translation: All things are lawful unto God.  Let us now provide the following definition:

anarchism 1. The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished. 2. Active resistance and terrorism against the state, as used by some anarchists. 3. Rejection of all forms of coercive control and authority.*

     Need it be mentioned what the sniper attacks, near the nation's Capitol, did to their economy?  And when I think of what the terrorist attack in Bali did to that country, by basically shutting down their entire economy, because all they really have is tourist trade, it truly sickens me.  Many countries are on the verge of collapse.  Their economies are in dire straits, just like most of our state's governments are in extreme financial difficulty.  Guess that this is a good time to get back to basics, as to what the real purpose of governance really means.

      And it also seems that there is a definite swing from what some might call civil rights, around the globe, to just plain human rights**, and that does demand equality, not preferential treatment, especially for politicians, or the world's diplomats.  Our constitution states, "equal rights," not preferential rights.  It is just my opinion, but it seems that most democrats - extreme left wing socialists, have sympathy for, and do not want any drastic action taken against some of the terrorists, like the Saddam Husseins of this world - specifically the pro United Nations crowd, so that the economy will really bottom out, and that would probably cause a massive swing to the current minority democratic power in America - socialistic party, in the next election.

     But the capitalistic system is not what will solve the woes of this world either, the way it is currently structured.  I will be the first to admit that.  Need we only mention the unbelievable perfection of corporate capital greed and fear that was witnessed throughout the world, caused by capitalism in 2002, by the Enron's of the world?  What is needed is a spiritual solution.  You can be a part of that, through prayer, and trying to be helpful to others, one human at a time, and getting into action, one day at a time.  Yes, we all have to learn how to do this, in order to be effective.

     The main reason for this web page, considering the times in which we live, is based on the following quote, from the seventh chapter in the original anonymous text book, which states on page 102:"Your job now is to be at the place where you may be of maximum helpfulness to others, so never hesitate to go anywhere if you can be helpful. You should not hesitate to visit the most sordid spot on earth on such an errand. Keep on the firing line of life with these motives and God will keep you unharmed."

     Should anyone know of a better insurance policy than that, sure would like to hear about it.  Just watched a documentary on bio-terrorism, with Tom Brokaw as the moderator, on the Discovery Channel - it may have been The Learning Channel, and it seems to me that if what they revealed ever does hit this county, it will really be a tragic and catastrophically unbelievable mass killing.  They gave one scenario that says that about three million people would die if smallpox was put into the air, in three major cities, at shopping malls - through their ventilation systems, in cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, or Atlanta.  And friends, that would occur in the first six or seven weeks.  From those metro areas, in those few weeks, it would spread to epidemic proportions in twenty seven states.

     So, it seems to me that a real war on terrorism is needed, but we need to humbly ask that God's will be done in all of these matters.  Some of us remember reading in step eleven, in the 12 and 12, "if we think that we know what God's will is, there is still conceit in us."  But I do remember reading that his people will be kept from the fatal plague.  Psalms, in the ninety first chapter and third verse states: For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from the fatal plague. (TB)

     It was about twenty years ago that some thought that Aids might be the fatal plague.  And in another twenty years there might be something else on the scene that will make terrorism look like a cake walk, but pray we must.   Don't know if it is still exists, but there used to be an Aids Anonymous.  Yup.  http://www.hivanonymous.com/  Lets hope that God will bless them, with a global reach too, if he has not already done so.

     This brings me to this conclusion. Since the republicans impeached one president recently, even though his party harmed it's soul in supporting his lies to the Federal Grand Jury, not to mention lying to a Federal Judge, I will be willing to bet that our current president does not want to be impeached by the republicans, because he did not adhere to the responsibility of protecting this county, which is in the constitution, since he is the commander in chief.  My final comment is that the president of this great nation is not the chief economist, he is supposed to be the commander in chief, of the most powerful nation on this planet.  And God has made it that way, because we are willing to go into harms way, because we are trying to help people, not conquer them.  And our constitution does not suggest that we be obedient to the United Nations' opinion.

Quote of the decade:

When asked, "What has Saddam Hussein or the Iraqi people done to us," the reply from the recently retired Senator from Tennessee said, "What had the terrorist hijackers of September 11, 2001, done to us on September 10, 2001?"

*Heard on the news, on March 24, 2003, that over twenty five hundred activists were arrested in San Francisco - maybe that explains it, in a huge anti-war protest that had turned violent last week.  The person in charge said, "The crowd turned into a bunch of anarchists."  Need we mention that the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, and New York City, are basically very liberal democratic strong holds, as well as the southeastern costal area of Florida.  And the murder rate in blue democratic counties is over six times greater than in red republican counties, according to a USA report.  click to view

**I believe that I heard recently that at the close of WWI, there were about eight or ten democracies around the globe. Now we are growing toward one hundred democracies, on this planet.

new understanding

Isaiah 9:6-7;  For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His ever expanding, peaceful government will never end. He will rule forever with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David. The passionate commitment of the Lord Almighty will guarantee this! (TB)

Another translations states, "He will bring true justice and peace to all nations of the world." (TLB)  Sounds like preemptive stuff doesn't it?  Sounds like we might need to get used to it, even though no one in their right mind likes nor wants war, but unless the evil nations under dictators capitulate, that is exactly what is in store for them, in God's good time.  The book of Ecclesiastes states, "There is a time for war, and a time for peace."

1 Timothy 1-7; I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God’s mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, for he wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time. And I have been chosen—this is the absolute truth—as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles about faith and truth. (TB)

But we need to really understand what the world is up against, for all people to be free.  That requires democracies, not dictatorships.  And what we are up against is over two centuries of Wahabbism, which has been teaching hate, intolerance of other religions, and the killing of all infidels - Christians, Jews, Muslims, and all others.  It really started a global expansion, to all nations, in the seventies, of the last century, with its members.  Their stated objective, like communism, is to defeat capitalism.  And unfortunately, they think that they are God's chosen.

The only book that will ever be recommended, by this scribe, is the bible that God leads you to study.  As a matter of fact, you are the most important subject, in the bible, to God, because God's Holy Spirit can personally minister to you, while reading it, with him.  "Come unto me, and let me teach you."  On the other hand however, we strongly suggest and urge, all members, of all anonymous fellowships, to study the original anonymous text book, substituting the words contained in their fatal malady, with your own malady, in addition to any and all text books, in your own anonymous fellowship.  And since this web page is about terrorism, war, and peace, eventhough I have not read it, but have observed Mr. Thomas P. M. Barnett's comments and documentary, on a variety of formats,  many might be interested in his book, "The Pentagon's New Map."   http://www.thomaspmbarnett.com/

It seems as though that the new American Military might be coming up with a new division, focused on peace keeping efforts, while maintaining their very high standards of military force, with a quicker response time, but not as large in total numbers, as in decades past.  As a matter of fact, all militaries of the world seem to be focused on where known trouble is going to break out, and are in the process of migrating toward those areas of potential conflict, for overall strategic planning purposes.  Their goal is a world without war.  Kudos to them all.  Let us praise God for President Bush's choice of Donald Rumsfeld, as the Secretary of Defense.  In no way do we desire to slight any member of any cabinet however, for all of their patriotic service, to our president and vice president.

What really makes me mad however, is that the news outlets, print and all forms of the media, rarely if ever, mention that it was the will of Allah, by the Muslims in Turkey, that blocked the northern entry into Iraq, from Turkey, which prevented the simultaneous entry into Baghdad of northern and southern troops, so that the coalition forces could capture or kill all rebellious and fleeing members of the Iraqi army, and fleeing Baathist's, which are first cousins to the concept of communism.  And then the Al Quaedas of the world started helping the Baathists, not to mention the many thousands of people, from Iran, that came into Iraq, under the disguise of a pilgrimage, which turned into insurgents also.  And certainly, the thirty thousand people that Saddam  let out of prison, right before the liberation effort began, has been a hindrance too.  All of them had either life sentences, or the death penalty.  Don't know about this Allah fellow.  Does not seem to me to be very considerate of the ordinary folks does he? 

Ba·ath·ist also Ba'ath·ist ( P ) Pronunciation Key (bää-thst) n. 
A member of a pan-Arab socialist political party active principally in Syria and Iraq.

So, I am glad that President Bush said that he would do it again, in response to a reporter's question about would he still invade Iraq, knowing what he now knows.  We had to start.  If we had not started, we could never finish!  And in time, the terrorists will hopefully understand what their hate* really is.  Love wins, but this is certainly not a time for any "girlie men!"  When I was a little kid, they taught us something like, girls are tender, sweet as sugar and spice, and everything nice.  Don't think that the terrorists would be too intimidated by them.  Maybe we need just a few females, with the same mentality, that run over their husbands with their German made vehicles, to help the military. :-)

It is extremely hearting to see how brave the Iraqi people are.  After many have been killed, while waiting in line, to sign up for available security positions, the next day, more people than before show up.  That is what freedom requires.  They need and deserve our prayers, as well as the very brave and courageous leader, their first prime minister!  And certainly we need to praise God for such brave and fearless soldiers, marines, airmen, coast guard, and naval personnel, in America's military, including the reserve, and national guard, that are so well trained and qualified, here and abroad.  I was in a religion, where we prayed for the president, and the people in authority, no matter which political party was in office.

But the following is the only thing that can really defeat terrorism, absolutely - an edited quote from one of our e-mails;  9-24-04:

we can help people insure their forming their own democracies.  the passionate commitment of the lord is behind that for all nations, as outlined in isaiah 9:6-7.  but the muslims must take responsibility to insure that godly people become involved in their selection process, of their clerics and imams, rather than the militants, that now seem to be in control of the process.   the actual war on terrorism must be won in the attitudes and actions of the muslims, which requires dealing with their criminals, rather than silently sitting by in indifference, and shielding the bastards from justice.  but the preaching, in their mosques, of hate, intolerance of other religions, and the killing of all infidels, including muslims, must stop, first; "No Chance In Hell" video, top left link.

We urge you to read the lengthy article published by Newsweek, about what a disastrous failure the four year assault on Israel has been for all Palestinians, which is making them take a hard look at themselves.  click to view

And based on the truth of that article, it perfectly pleased me when the former president Jimmy Carter said what a mistake it was, for President Bush to drop the ball on negotiations, between the Israelis, and the Palestinians.  Jimmy Carter was perfectly WRONG!  It was a comment on a Larry King Live interview, around the middle of October, in 2004.  We perfectly understand that  ONLY personal circumstances will always make human beings willing, to consider other options.  Wonder if the democrats will ever understand that?  All honor, glory, and praise to the God of gods, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, our one and only heavenly father, and our true father.  And all his people said Amen.

*"If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us." - Herman Hesse, German novelist (1877-1962).

hate: To feel hostility or animosity toward, or to detest; better known as ill feelings. :-)

emotion: A mental state that arises spontaneously rather than through conscious effort and is often accompanied by physiological changes; a feeling: the emotions of joy, sorrow, reverence, hate, and love.

for a moment, let us focus on love and hate alone, from the perspective of an old fart in charlotte, passed on by a reliable source, one of his sponsees.  he said, "my sponsor in charlotte says, 'feelings are nothing but warm horse piss.  it will cool off, when it is supposed to.'"
