Lying...

Here is one definition of a lie...

A lie is an assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving someone.  ...And a person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar. Lies may serve a variety of instrumental, interpersonal, or psychological functions for the individuals who use them. Generally, the term "lie" carries a negative connotation, and depending on the context a person who communicates a lie may be subject to social, legal, religious, or criminal sanctions. 

Here is one form of an oath taken in court:

For a witness appearing in court, the form of oath taken is generally as follows: "I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.".

Here is the oath of enlistment in the U.S. military: 

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). So help me God.

Is the definition of a lie, and oaths taken in court or enlistment in the military service connected in some way?

Yes, of course it is...

Politicians and witnesses take the oath when they are going to testify before Congress or some committee, that the testimony is supposed to be truthful and accurate.  If they deliberately lie, then they are subject to the pains and penalties of perjury.

I wonder just how many politicians and members of the various federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies of the U.S. have perjured themselves all in an effort to execute a coup d'etat against President Trump in an attempt to remove him from office?

Do the words of an oath mean anything anymore??

That's more of an rhetorical question than anything else, as so many have been PROVEN to have perjured themselves over the last few years, but have suffered little or nothing for their lies.

The idea of swearing to God Almighty also seems to mean little these days.  I can only come to the conclusion that those miscreants, traitors and perjurers, don't believe that they will be held accountable for their perjuries.

I seem to recall, however, one of the Ten Commandments: thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

But things just may be in the process of changing, as we now have a new Attorney General of the U.S. (Barr).  I know he is on the right track because he is consistently being attacked by the "deep state" conspirators almost on a daily basis.

Let's see if Mr. Barr has the guts to continue doing his job, or if he caves to those real conspirators and traitors to our country, all the while masquerading as "Americans".

Let us all pray for our President, the new Attorney General, and for our country...

Celebrating the Arrest of Julian Assange?

If you are one of the many celebrating the arrest and possible extradition of Julian Assange to the U.S. for conspiracy and other "crimes," I suggest you put the cork back in the bottle and wait for some tiny measure of justice before you take that first drink.

Far too many of us have short -- very short! -- memories.

The charge of the supposed release of classified information from hacked DNC servers by Assange, is quite ironic.

Think, first of all, of Hillary Clinton's illegal and dangerous use of her personal server to house classified (some Top Secret!) messages that we now know was hacked and intercepted by the Communist Chinese, leading to the death of more than just a few undercover agents in that country working for the CIA.

How many have ever heard of the deaths of those agents?  Probably few, if any, due to the complicit media and their accomplices failing to report the truth, and, at the same time, protecting the real enemy in the form of the former candidate for president in the 2016 election.

But there is much more to this treason of Clinton and others of the "deep state".

Assange is as pure as the driven snow when compared to the sabotage of these miscreants.

If you want to take a glimpse of the real events, look up the supposed "robbery" and the actual murder of Seth Rich.  Does that name ring a bell?  It should.  Rich worked for the DNC; he was privy to so much intimidating information, that he could no longer look the other way.  In other words, he had a conscience, and it is reported, or at least supposed, that he was getting ready to spill the beans regarding the absolute corruption of those he trusted to do the right thing.

The servers of the DNC were not hacked from an "outside" source, but from within.  There is much technical information that points to this fact...

I'll say it again, I wouldn't be popping the cork to celebrate the arrest of Assange.  Remember, that we have many enemies both foreign, and most importantly, domestic, that would like nothing more than to see this country become another Amerika, where you and I would no longer have the ability to criticize the government and seek redress for our grievances through the courts...

Pray for our country.

Defend Free Speech At All Costs!!!!!

If not, then here is what will -- and is already happening!!!

Hiram Mann. a New York City attorney who died at age 83 in 1955, had these lines published in the Wall Street Journal in 1947:

No man escapes
When freedom fails,
The best men rot in filthy jails;
And they who cried: “Appease, Appease!”
Are hanged by men they tried to please.

If you think this can't happen here in the land of the free and the home of the brave, think again.  Just take a look at the various social media and see just who gets censored or banned for speaking truth to counter the lies of the hard, radical Left...

A Pro-Life Democrat!

This from the Daily Caller:

Democratic Illinois Rep. Dan Lipinski, one of the last Democrats in Congress to oppose abortion, addressed the annual March For Life on Friday.

The annual rally in Washington, D.C. has taken place every year since the Supreme Court handed down its landmark “Roe v. Wade” decision in 1973. Since 2004, Lipinski has represented Illinois’ 3rd District, which is solidly Democratic but heavily Catholic.

My comment: let us have hope and continue to pray for an end to the scourge of abortion and support, with prayers, this decent man, Dan Lipinski.  He should abandon the Demonrats and become an Independent or Republican.  He has been terribly ostracized for his pro-life stance by fellow Demonrats.  I don't know if he is a Catholic, but at least he supports and defends the sanctity of the pre-born from the horrors of abortion.

If only "Catholic" politicians would live up to their Faith and support the right to life, it is very possible that hearts and minds would change dramatically in this our beloved country.  But until then, I find it most difficult to exclaim: God bless America, but, instead, beg: God have mercy on our country!

A Cruel Irony!!

"...that anyone who "tortures, willfully inflicts inhumane injury or pain," or "cruelly and unnecessarily beats, maims or mutilates..." has committed a felony punishable by up to five years in jail and a fine of up to $2,500."

Does the above paragraph refer to the killing of the pre-born, and now the born babies that survive an abortion, but still suffer the above atrocities?

No.

What I wrote is taken from an article from Lifesitenews.com.

The Democrat governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, recently signed SB1604, named Tommie's Law, into law.  And "Tommie's Law" states that if anyone "...tortures...maims or mutilates..." any dog or cat will be subject up to five years in jail and a fine of up to $2,500."

 Remember, this is the same governor that made no retractions or apologies for stating -- on air! -- that a baby that survives an abortion should be made "comfortable", then it is up to the mother, et el, to decide if the baby should be kept alive or killed (murdered, that is)!  

Governor Northam, I contend, must be intellectually possessed by the demon.  This is a prime example why I use the word "Demonrat" when describing these monsters that feel more for a dog or cat than a defenseless human baby.  He must have a cold, dead heart; a blackened soul, incapable of discerning right from wrong; completely against the Natural Law and the Commandment not to kill (murder).

In the military, we call what has transpired since Roe v Wade, "mission creep."  Why, because it has led to a massive upheaval of the traditional morals, in favor of a selfish culture of death where anything goes.  If it feels good, do it!  That is from the 80's, by the way, but encapsulates a mindset of doing one's will in defiance of God's will, and His plan for us...

Sixty-plus MILLION babies have been destroyed by these demons and their minions, sacrificing tiny babies on the alter of "choice".  Yes, choice, but not for the babies...

Pray for an end to this willful murder of the pre-born, and now the born, and pray for our country...

Is it anti-Semitism, or anti-Zionism?

Here's the question again: Is it anti-Semitism, or anti-Zionism?

Are they the same, or are they different?

I contend that the two are used interchangeably, whether implicitly, or explicitly, to describe that one is anti-Jew.  This could not be further from the truth, but the sad fact is, that today, once an accusation is made, then that automatically becomes a fact; the label sticks, and the person is guilty until proven innocent of the charge.

Everyone should despise anti-Semitism -- or any "anti" group that is different from ourselves, whether out of fear or ignorance, but, at the same time, we who follow Christ, must be able to discern those people who are anti-Christ and act accordingly.  In the Christian mindset, that means praying for our enemies as Christ commanded us to do; like it or not!

Are Jews our enemies?  Not anymore than Muslims are, or Druids, or Atheists, or blacks or Asians, or... fill in the blank...

When I was in Vietnam, and posted on a machine-gun bunker, I could care less what color or creed my bunker-mate was; we were brothers; that's all that mattered.  The time for proselytizing and possible conversion could come later if the circumstances permitted.  The idea at the moment was to get through the night, and fight for each other if the Communist enemy attacked with mortars and troops in an attempt to take us out.

Today, we're in another battle of sorts; a different type of war with the enemy attacking from within our shores trying to destroy what is left of the American dream from radical socialists, and from within the Church trying to destroy Her by bizarre clerics who think that it is okay for homosexuality to be part of the priesthood and all that comes with it.

I digress...

There are Jews today that are, themselves, anti-Zionist.  But how could this be?  It is so because they know that the Israel of the Bible is NOT the Israel of today.

For an excellent primer on the subject of Zionism, I strongly suggest the website: truetorahjews.org.

Pray for your enemies, and pray for our country.

The Beatitude: Suffering for Justice's Sake...

Blessed are they that suffer persecution for Justice’s sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Just what is Justice anyway?

Justice is inherent in our human, natural right to be treated in a Christian way, and to treat others the same way.  This covers "a multitude of sins," so to speak.  And it fulfills the second Great Commandment to Love they Neighbor, the first is to Love God.  All the prophets and laws are based on these two Commandments, and all other admonishments will, in a sense, fall into place; they overlap, and compliment each other.

If one seeks Justice, then he will not commit a fraud or bear false witness against his neighbor; he will not murder him; he will not rob him; he will not covet, etc...

Those are the negatives, but the positives of seeking Justice, and the results of seeking Justice are the things of Heaven; our final goal!

And what of those that seek Justice and are persecuted for its sake?

The Beatitude tells us that those who suffer for Justice's sake are Blessed, and theirs is the kingdom of Heaven!

In today's society, especially in the United States, we have a great disparity when it comes to Justice.

We know that Lady Justice is blindfolded, but is She really?  It seems not.

How can we as a nation, claim equal Justice for all, when we deliberately deny that Justice to the most innocent and defenseless of our species: the pre-born, and now the born?  

All seem to clamor for "equal rights," but when the rich and powerful use their money and enormous influence to subvert and deny that Justice to the tiny girls and boys developing in the wombs of their mothers, can we really say that we are a nation of laws, laws based on the Natural Law as an extension of Divinely revealed law?   Again, it seems not.

It is an injustice to deny the Right to Life to the pre-born, and now the born.

We can philosophize and theorize all we want, but first and foremost is the necessity of Justice to allow life to those we have conceived, without this, all else is meaningless.

Blessed are they that suffer persecution for Justice's sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Pray for our country...
