The Summer of 2013 Part 2



 






Hillary Clinton

If Hillary Clinton runs for President, groups from the Emily's List and others will agree with Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is right on a point. We know the point. She is correct to fight for women's rights and the right of women to have equal opportunity in society. Women and men are created equal. All humans regardless of background ought to have equal rights and human rights. No one should offer undue oppression and unfair discrimination at all. The glass ceiling ought to be eliminated from women and minorities, but unfortunately we are not in that moment in history yet. We have made some progress, but we have a very long way to go.. With being said, numerous Patriots and activists are correct to expose the establishment ties to Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is more loved by the populace than ever before, but the truth is a stubborn thing. In season and out of season, we should come out to show the truth that Hillary Clinton is just in league with the establishment as her husband, Bill Clinton is. There are many examples of this. From 1986 to 1992, Hillary Clinton sat on the board of directors of Walmart. She was the first woman to do so. Yet, she did not direct her power to defend the rights of women workers at Walmart, which is still a viciously anti-union company (with a history of ironically discriminating against human beings of color and female employees). Hillary Clinton supported her husband's Welfare Reform Act of 1996, which "ended welfare as we know it," effectively destroying the social safety net and forcing millions of poor people to fend for themselves. In 2002, she joined Republicans like Orrin Hatch to support a bill that increased already punitive work requirements imposed on welfare recipients. Obama has retrospectively embraced that policy, writing in his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope, that “we should also acknowledge that conservatives—and Bill Clinton—were right about welfare.” That evil policy made millions of single mothers (disproportionately Black and Latino) destitute. In the time from 1964 to 1974, 24 percent of black families were so poor that they fell within the bottom 10 percent of the national income distribution. During the time from 1991 to 2000, that number was 39 percent of black families.

She believes in so called fiscal responsibility, which is a coded phrase that describes austerity, tax cuts, and the love of inhibiting real regulations in society (in the name of trying to institute a balanced military budget, which done on the backs of the poor & working class). We all need a living wage, employment protection, access to health care as a human rights, equality, and the fight against corporate greed. Historicially, struggle, grassroots protests, and great actions caused real changes in society. The words of the abolitionist Frederick Douglass are as true today as they were 150 years ago: "If there is no struggle there is no progress. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."

Kissinger is of the elite and the elite loves Hillary Clinton. A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday revealed that Clinton has the overwhelming support of 65 percent of likely Democratic primary voters, should she decide to run in 2016. Vice President Joe Biden trailed in second place with 13 percent. A McClatchy-Marist poll released last month showed Clinton winning in theoretical head-to-head match ups against four potential Republican presidential candidates. Hillary Clinton urged Bill Clinton to bomb Belgrade in 1999. The bombing ignored international and constitutional law. For 78 days, NATO ravaged Yugoslavia. Nearly everything targeted was struck. Massive destruction and disruption followed. An estimated $100 billion in damage was inflicted. A humanitarian disaster resulted. Environmental contamination was extensive. Large numbers were killed, injured or displaced. Two million people lost their livelihoods. Homes and communities were destroyed. She voted for war budgets, she voted for the Patriot Act, and other police state legislation. She endorsed cluster bomb use in civilian areas and refugee camps. She backed the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The crimes of the West against Libya and Syria will not be forgotten at all. Even now, Hillary Clinton wants more NATO funding for NATO to bomb the mess out of nation states. Hillary Clinton agrees with imperial war and other views being in unison with the 2 party duopoly.

Hillary Clinton admitted that the U.S. government funded the same Al-Qaeda related terrorists that they are fighting in Afghanistan now. This funding came about during the Soviet-Afghan war. It is not a secret that the West use Al-Qaeda terrorist operatives as a means to advance the Global War on Terrorism. Such theocratic, reactionaries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia (which America supports) documents the hypocrispy of Western imperialism. The Western elite claims to love democracy and human liberties as real virtues, but they ally with some of the most totalitarian and anti-human rights regimes in the modern world. The Western imperialists seek global world conquer with its military bases and acts of war crimes. She once suggested that Dr. Martin Luther King  Jr. was using just would while a Southern President finished the job that the civil rights movement started in 1964 and 1965. That is a bunch of nonsense since the civil rights movement is not over. It continues today and that President was hesitant to give concessions until rebellions occurred across America. He had not choice, but to sign the bills as a means to prevent a real Revolution in American society. Dr. King's legacy is not made up of just some dreamer. It is composed of self determination and fight against poverty including all forms of injustice against humanity concretely. Succinetly, the actions of voting, sit ins, and other organizing actions contributed mightly to the end of the Jim Crow segregation system. The actions of real activists back then forced the government to do something about it. The government was reluctant to do anything until pressure came about from heroes and heroines.







Jesse Duplantis


Jesse Duplantis is a famous minister. He is known in the heretical word faith movement. I heard of him from television and other sources indeed. He is from Louisiana and he is known to utilize a lot of humor in his sermons. His teachings on the Bible are weird and are very similar to the prosperity gospel as well. He is similar to Kenneth Copeland in his theological stances. He regularly outlines his personal stories as a means to justify his teachings. Jesse loves to have a hatred of doctrine by his own words: “Naturally, the devil tried to shut down this living, breathing Church. He wanted dry bones. He began to take the freshness of God and put Ecclesiastical dogma on it. He used theological understanding to water down the fire.” (Jesse Duplantis, Voice of the Covenant magazine, November 1997, p. 7). The truth is that real doctrine is not meant to confine spirituality. It was created in order to make it grow and to have boundaries of real moral enlightenment. Ecclesiastical dogma is different than the study of God or theology. The New Testament was created by human beings with great theological understanding like the apostles Matthew, Peter, Paul, etc. Jesse Duplantis is famous to advance revelations and slaying human beings in the spirit. He claims to have experiences related to the supernatural. He screams Jesus all of the time. He claims to speak in tongues and lay hands on human beings. He asks -- “Someone has a liver disorder come forward while the anointing of God is present.” He promises-- “I guarantee you will be revived after the sermon” (Mar. 7, 2000 TBN). Jesse made biblical inaccurate statements like the following: "...If God told a lie, it wouldn't be a lie because it would become truth..." (Oct. 6, 2000) No a lie is a lie and God ONLY tells the truth, the Bible says he cannot lie. Jesse Duplantis said that he has been hit with lightning a number of times. He loves the prosperity gospel. He claims that we must be anointed to get out of poverty and those in poverty lack the anointing. He makes the following comments (taken from The Nov. 1997 Voice of the Covenant magazine, p.5) “The very first thing on Jesus` agenda was to get rid of poverty! Would you like to know why some people, including ministries, never get out of poverty? Its not because they aren’t smart. It’s not because they don’t have windows of opportunity. It’s because they’re not anointed. If you’re not anointed, poverty will follow you all the days of your life. His first objective was to get rid of poverty.This is nonsense since the poor have been some of the spiritually strong human beings in human history. Obviously, we should fight against poverty, but not claiming that poverty is a product of lacking spirituality. And he just condemned the apostle Paul who said he was 1 Cor.4:11-12 “To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure.” Peter is condemned as being not anointed because in Acts 3:6 Peter said to the man at the gate of the temple “Silver and gold I do not have.” I guess the apostles did not know yet what Duplantis and the rest of his friends know today. The reality is that Jesus Christ never owned a jet, was poor, and was reviled by even some in his own community for his revolutionary views. Jesse Duplantis loves money, he loves his money, and his preaching is heavily about money in general. Jesse said that he agrees with the prosperity gospel propaganda. Years, this arrogant, egotistical man said the following words about his money: "...You watch me and this Mr. Cessna man here, I'll be the first preacher to buy a brand new, spankin' new, brand new jet that will fly all over this world. Get that sucker out of that glass hanger!...You can say all you want, Jack. I'll fly by your house and tip the wing. I'm gonna get something for Jesus. I'm gonna do something for God... (Jesse Duplantis Show, TBN, 9/ 8/97). He once boasted that God has done everything that he has prayed for.

This is strange since not one person born beside Jesus could have said this. He claims to have communications with God and having a trip to Heaven. Sometimes, he preaches from Kenneth Copeland's pulpit. The Gospel is rather simple. Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world, he was buried, he died, and he rose up again taking up the same body that he came in. The Gospel is based on the blood, the cross, and his resurrection. Anybody trying to focus on money, riches, and false spiritualism is someone ignoring the Gospel of the Savior Son of God Yeshua ben Yoseph. Salvation is a gift freely given not earned. That is why it is not uncommon for witness world faith teachers to teach heresies. Some of them have spewed blasphemies and other strange doctrines in the faith of truth and reality. For example, Kenneth Copeland made the following comment about Jesus Christ: "He [Jesus] allowed the devil to drag Him into the depths of hell....He allowed Himself to come under Satan's control...every demon in hell came down on Him to annihilate Him....They tortured Him beyond anything anybody had ever conceived. For three days He suffered everything there is to suffer." (Kenneth Copeland, "The Price of It All," 3.). The truth is that Jesus Christ was never under Satan's control at all.

It is obvious to see that Jesse Duplantis is advancing New Age metaphysics. CBN loves him and placed him on their broadcast on many times. Jesse wants folks to have faith in their seed instead of having faith in God and doing actions constructively in their daily lives. Duplantis claims that he had reached the point where he did not have to seek God for guidance, but rather that God had told Duplantis that he could largely do whatever he chose, and that God would bless it and conform His own will and actions around the decisions of Duplantis. Duplantis regularly talks about dreams and visions as found in "Turning Your Dreams into Reality." You will notice that his so-called "dreams and visions" never resemble the actual person or work of Jesus Christ. Jesse wants us to focus our toughts to make reality. Sorry, but a human's thoughts are constantly wicked. It is time for us to monitor our thoughts and keep our focus on righteousness.

Also, Jesse Duplantis made an extremely ignorant and silly argument. Jesse Duplantis made the argument that blacks are killing each other (when most black people are not killing each other at all) and you can just use religious exercise as a means to liberate you without defeating white supremacy. He said this as a means to appeal to a black audience. This is why many churches shy away from real discussions on race or white supremacy since mainstream media wants to ignore real oppression in the world (while maintaining the social status quo). It is the same Eurocentric religion that forced numerous black people to worship a White Jesus and embrace a slavery mentality that exists today. Jesse is wrong to assume that Satan alone taught many black folks to hate each. It was certain white people that did it. They are in charge of most Western schools, and other institutions that prepretate the agenda of white supremacy. So, we must continue to show the truth is that God is not White and our oppression is caused by white supremacy not black human beings collectively. Readily, the elite will exploit the Black Church (which has been at the forefront of numerous points of the black liberation movement) as a means for economic, political, and spiritual exploitation. This is exempflied by how politicans make an appearance in a Black Church near election time. If T.D. Jakes, Creflo Dollars, and other mega church, prosperity gospel preachers talk about social justice, white supremacy, the evils in the War on Drugs, and other real issues in the world strongly, then the establishment will withdrawal their funds from them. Jesse was slick since he is right that black folks should not blame God for the evils of Maafa. Yet, he implied that black people are following Satan and he said that black people's biggest problem are other black people. These views are of course 100 percent wrong indeed. Also, Jesse refuses to expose the evils deeds done by whites in charge of the white supremacist system. Also, if Jesse Duplantis would tell real spiritual truths, his popularity would massively decline. White supremacists always work overtime in trying to brainwash human beings on the falsehood of white superiority while denying the great value & beauty of blackness in the Universe.

The Word of Faith teachers preach many heresies. We wish that they would wake up indeed. This heresy has been shown by Joel Osteen, Kenneth Hagin, Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn, and T.D. Jakes. They teach many false views and their views are heavily found in TBN or Trinity Broadcast Network. Even Titus 1:9 tells the truth that we should encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. Kenneth Copeland is wrong to assume that Adam was just like God as you can get and to believe that we are little gods. Adam was never God manifested in the flesh regardless of what Copeland said. There is no linkage between true spirituality and wealth or health. Many folks from across the economic scale have a great relationship with God. There are questionable origins of this movement.  The lust of money and corruption of mainstream capitalism all influence the Word of Faith movement. Many of these TV preachers from this movement influenced how the world views Christianity, which is very strange. The enemy use the heresy of the Word of Faith movement as a means to sham Christianity in general since that fringe movement has nothing to do with historical Christianity. Many responsible Christian leaders have written books to refute the movement. The Scriptures gives believers the right to point out false doctrines like the following: "...Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them."(Romans 16:17). Titus 3:10 is correct to mention that: "...A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject..." Many of them believe that man can be gods. For Copeland to call himself I Am is heretical and blasphemy. Casey Treat is another Word of Faith teacher that teaches the heresy that he is an exact duplicate of God. The little god teacher is condemned by the Scriptures, science, logic, and just plain commonsense. Little gods is related to polytheism and Christianity teaches monotheism. The works based salvation religion of Mormonism teaches the view of gods. We see that in Isaiah 43:10 that God said that no god was formed before me or after me. There is the one Supreme Deity and not many gods. The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Even 1 Corinthians 8:6 says that there is one God, the Father whom all things were created by and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ through whom all things and through whom we exist. Only a proud, perverted heart tries to view themselves as divine gods. So, many of these teachers try to reduce the exaltation of God. Many of these false teachers believe that Christ went into Hell and took on a sinful nature to redeem humans. That is a sick heresy. The reality is that Jesus Christ redeemed souls, while he was nailed to the cross. That reconciled both Jews and Gentile under Christ as found in Ephesians 2:16. The blood of the cross was sufficient. He or Jesus Christ never has to die in Hell for redemption of sins. 1 Peter 3:18 is clear that the Lord Jesus Christ suffered once for sins. Now, we should reject false words, adultery, greed, and unstable actions. We have to go for the right way. Constantly seeking wealth and loving materialism are part of the World Faith Movement. Some of these preachers wanting to exploit humans for greed is wrong. The NT is clear that we should help human beings without expecting nothing in return as found in Luke 6:35. Many World of Faith preachers are super rich. Mark 4:18-19 and Matthew 6:19-21 refutes materialism 100 percent.


 When you get older, you wake up about things spiritually. To understand many Scriptures, you have to understand the translation of words and the cultural times when these Scriptures were created as well. Some have to research the ancient texts as a means to get a fuller meaning of various verses too. It is true that the Holy Spirit can give humans balance in interpreting the Scriptures. There are literal truths in the Scriptures including idioms. Some misogynists and reactionary extremists distort the meanings of the Scriptures as a means to advance oligarchy, oppression, and other economic regressive ideologies.  There is no legitimate justification to use any religious document as a means to claim the entitlement to subjugate humanity based on race, gender, etc. or to condone abuse, mistreatment, male supremacy (and then these haters lie and claim to have the Spirit of Christ, which they don't). Even the OT and NT have commands from God being against oppression, against the exploitation of human beings, against the oppression against widows, against the harm done to the fatherless, against exploitation of labor, against the harm done to the immigrant (or the sojourner), etc. That is why they should be harsh punishments against those who oppress human life. No one has the right or entitlement to exploit, abuse, or abuse power against any human being at any circumstance. We should be humble, strong, and act gracious in our walks with the Lord regardless of our class, gender, or race. This doesn't mean that we are entitled to special rights to oppress another human. Even Heaven is not based on a rigid class distinction. Nowhere in the OT or the New Testament were men given special entitlements to mirco-manage or abuse their power over women or children. The Scriptures condemn these abuses. We know how the Scriptures talk about being opposed to greed, exploitation, coveting, idolatry, seeking vain glory, etc. The Apostle James was adamant that we should not seek leadership, prestige, or power over others as a means to oppress other human beings. We should not love mainstream culture. We live in a very Eurocentric, Hellenistic (or Greco-Roman culture) that harbors massive materialism, commercialism, and globalism. The Eurocentric Greco-Roman cultures devalue women and called men to universally dominated women in most affairs of social including political life. We should be transformed in our thoughts and actions to follow the Lord. In other words, there is no need for men or women to be placed superior to each other. We look the original languages, the original context, the cultural and historical factors, and we can clearly understand the Scriptures as a whole in context. Paul praised Priscilla, who along with her husband, taught a man, Apollos. We all know about the woman Miriam (who called a leader of Israel in Micah 6:4), Deborah who lead Israel, spoke for God TO MEN, and was called a prophet and judge, and Huldah, who taught the Word of the Lord to men. Paul calls the woman Junia, an apostle. He called many other women in the NT his coworkers and co-laborers in spreading the gospel (which is a verbal act). Human beings are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb or the blood of Jesus Christ. That is why in the egalitarian fashion, husbands and wives have mutual leadership and mutual submission under God. So, it is what it is. All believers of males and females should fully participate in the Body according to their God given gifts and abilities.
 

In our generation, we have a clearer view of Yeshua Ben Yoseph or the Natzorean. Yeshua's apostles were 12 in number. Some of the most famous ones was Simeon bar Levi (Peter), Yokanon (St. John), and Yaakov (James, the brother of Yeshua). Yeshua was not into Eurocentric Christianity. He was an Afro-Asiatic Judean Israelite. He believed in the Torah, but he knew that the prophet Jeremiah predicted that new law will arise in the world. That prophecy was fulfilled in the days of the Roman Empire. So, the New Testament did include some of Old Testament Law, but not all of it (like the High priest since the Messiah is our new and permanent High priest). Now, Yosafe or Yeshua's father was of the Royal Davidic line. His mother Miriam was of the Levitical/Priestly line. Yeshua's ministry was after the Order of Meliki-tsadek or the King of Righteousness. He or Meliki-stadek was the first major High priest of the Bible and the King of Jerusalem, who blessed Abraham. We know that Yeshua was never born in December 25th too. Yeshua had other brothers like Yosay (Joses), Simeon, and Yehuda (Judah) including other sisters. Yeshua was never married and he lived his life in opposition to the decadence of the Roman Empire. The Last Supper was a Passover Meal. Yeshua was executed on the Roman Imperial Governor of Judas or on Pontius Pilate's orders. He died and rose again. Paul was not the original apostle and he was once a chief inquisitor for the Sanhedrin [who handed Yeshua over to the Roman Governor of Judea- Pontius Pilate, to be executed] - who in fact zealously persecuted Yeshua’s Judean followers. Paul soon woke up and became a follower of the Gospel of Yeshua. The major pillars of the early Christian movement after Yeshua was Yokhanon, Simon bar Levi, and the other apostles. Ancient churches grew and flourished. Modern Eurocentric Christianity came in ca. 325 A.D. under the actions of Roman Emperor Constantine and his mother Helena. The faux version of Christianity continued to embraced heresies like calling Mary the Mother of God, venerating statues, having crucifixes, and believing that Yeshua was a blond haired blue eyed man (which is historically inaccurate to the fullest extent. Even ancient images of Jesus Christ and his earthly mother Mary showed a darker skinned image). Eurocentric Christianity was influenced by the Roman Empire, which were the same folks that executed the great prophet & Messiah Yeshua (and persecuted his followers). Numerous mega churches today do not follow the teachings of Yeshua even with their love of non-confrontation toward political injustices and their love of material goods. The fight is still on for the defense of the rights of the homeless, the poor, the workers, and other oppressed people in the globe. Also, we should use religion and true spirituality as a means to fight for real revolutionary changes in society without the need to suppress human rights.  What we Americans need are great jobs, we need quality education that the elite have (without propaganda), we need an end to the attack on civil liberties, and affordable health care for all. There ought to be an end to massive incarceration and the War on Drugs that have ravished communities all over the nation. Human beings need quality, affordable housing and other real actions that will benefit all of humankind. We have to have justice before we have peace.
