You are Losing Control of Your Children to the Government!

If you live in the United States, you are losing control over your children in all respects!

This message was from John Freeman to all originally in the conference Lawenforce on Dragons (The Dragon's Lair) taken from the website at http://freedombyfaith.com

New Age Professors Teach Our Children's Teachers

Let's quote a few of the top U.S. spokesmen and professors in that field, to see the over-all philosophy used to train our teachers, who then go on to prepare our children for the New World Order.

Dr. Chester Pierce

Harvard University Professor, humanist, New World Order guru. This professor instructs teachers and those students who aspire to become teachers of our children as follows:

"Every child in America who enters school at the age of five is mentally ill, because he comes to school with an allegiance to our institutions, toward the preservation of this form of government that we have. Patriotism, nationalism, and sovereignty, all that proves that children are sick because a truly well individual is one who has rejected all of those things, and is truly the international child of the future."

Dr. Paul Brandwein

Leading U.S. child psychologist. This man also instructs teachers on how to recognize disability in our school children. He states:

"Every child who believes in God is mentally ill." (All government schools have a psychologist.)

Dr. Sidney Simon

Lecturer, educator who some say specialized in encouraging immoral and criminal activity in youths. He instructs teachers as follows:

"We do not need any more preaching about right and wrong. The old `thou shalt nots' simply are not relevant."

Further he says:

"Values clarification is a method for teachers to change the values of children without getting caught."

Humanist Curriculum: Along with these "humanist wackos" training our nation's teachers to be "change agents" for their New World Order, there is the matter of the literature that they have for teachers to use to instruct American children. One such book entitled, "Weep for Our Children," might explain to police officers a great deal about why crime rates in school age children are skyrocketing. Consider this one passage touting the humanistic "Values Clarification/Situation Ethics" program:

"It's okay to lie. It's okay to steal. It's okay to have premarital sex. It's okay to cheat or to kill if these things are part of your value system, and you clarified these values for yourself. The important thing is not what values you choose, but that you have chosen them yourself freely and without coercion of parents, spouse, priest, friends, ministers or social pressure of any kind."

This type of values/moral code (or lack thereof) is all too evident in America's schools today, as many police officers know. Many officers write expressing alarm at seeing this type of unholy "situation ethics" instruction so widespread in our nation's schools.

Psychiatrists Lead the Way

For decades, it has been the job of those in the psychology field to introduce to the American public the idea that those who believe in God are sick and must be "enlightened" or eliminated, and that "immorality" is the only path to the New Age. And indeed it is. The several quotes below will drive home this well planned scenario.

Bertrand Russell

Philosopher, educator, and atheist:

"I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is Mass Psychology . . . Its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda . . . Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class (elite). The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated."

Dr. G. Brock Chisholm

First head of the World Federation of Mental Health (a New World Order group). One of the great psychiatric gurus of mental health speaks:

"What basic psychological distortion can be found in every civilization of which we know anything? The only psychological force capable of producing these perversions is morality—the concept of right and wrong. The reinterpretation and eventual eradication of the concept of right and wrong are the belated objectives of nearly all psychotherapy."

This is taken from the updated book, "None Dare Call It Treason," by J. A. Stormer.

"The pretense is made that to do away with right and wrong would produce uncivilized people, immorality, lawlessness, and social chaos. The fact is that most psychiatrists and psychologists and other respected people have escaped from moral chains and are able to think freely."

Police officers have been among the first to notice that such teachings have produced exactly the results he (the good doctor) said they would not produce. He lied. There is no greater promoter of change than fear, and no greater creator of fear than chaos and lawlessness throughout a nation. The enemy of our system knows that immorality breeds chaos and lawlessness. Chaos and lawlessness breed fear in the people, and when fearful enough the people will accept any solution. Guess what the solution is?

We agree with Dr. Chisholm, that most of these minions of "psycho-babble" have truly "escaped" from any and all moral foundation in their lives. Anything their patients dream up is perfectly okay and encouraged by most such "professionals." This "there is no right or wrong" psycho-babble is what is being drilled into the heads of those American school children whose parents have unfortunately placed them in Government Indoctrination Centers ("G.I.C."), which we erroneously call our "educational" system.

In case any officer reading this, thinks that this change in the morals of our nation is accidental, he or she must read the book, "The Soviet Art Of Brain Washing—A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics," written by a Kenneth Goff.

This concludes the article by John Freeman.

As a parent and grandparent, I strongly urge every thinking, caring person out there to consider very seriously withdrawing your children/grandchildren from any G.I.C. they may be in and instead either to home school them or send them to a private Christian school.

Doing so may cost you more in terms of time and finances, but aren't the little ones worth it?

Today's Chuckle


Duh!

During a trial, a lawyer cross examined a doctor about a victim's death.

Q: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
A: "No."

Q: "Did you check for breathing?"
A: "No."

Q: "So then it is possible the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
A: "No."

Q: "How can you be so sure, doctor?"
A: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."

Q: "But could the patient still have been alive nevertheless?"
A: "It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."






Brain Cramp:

Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live f orever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever."

—Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss U.S.A. contest

The Night Before Christmas

T'was the night before Christmas.
He lived all alone
in a one bedroom house made of
plaster and stone.

I had come down the chimney
with presents to give,
and to see just who
in this home did live.

I looked all about,
a strange sight I did see;
no tinsel, no presents,
not even a tree.

No stocking by mantle,
just boots filled with sand;
on the wall hung pictures
of far distant lands.

With medals and badges,
awards of all kinds,
a sober thought
came through my mind.

For this house was different;
it was dark and dreary.
I found the home of a soldier,
once I could see clearly.

The soldier lay sleeping,
silent, alone,
curled up on the floor
in this one bedroom home.

The face was so gentle,
the room in such disorder,
not how I'd pictured
a United States soldier.

Was this the hero
of whom I'd just read?
Curled up on a poncho,
the floor for a bed?

I realized the families
that I saw this night
owed their lives to these soldiers
who were willing to fight.

Soon round the world
the children would play,
and grownups would celebrate
a bright Christmas day.

They all enjoyed freedom
each month of the year
because of the soldiers
like the one lying here.

I couldn't help wonder
how many lay alone
on a cold Christmas Eve
in a land far from home.

The very thought
brought a tear to my eye.
I dropped to my knees
and started to cry.

The soldier awakened,
and I heard a rough voice,
"Santa don't cry;
this life is my choice.

I fight for freedom;
I don't ask for more.
My life is my God,
my country, my corps."

The soldier rolled over
and drifted to sleep.
I couldn't control it;
I continued to weep.

I kept watch for hours,
so silent and still,
and we both shivered
from the cold night's chill.

I didn't want to leave
on that cold, dark, night,
this guardian of honor
so willing to fight.

The soldier rolled over, and
with a voice soft and pure,
whispered, "Carry on Santa,
it's Christmas day; all is secure."

One look at my watch,
and I knew he was right.
"Merry Christmas, my friend,
and to all a good night."

This poem was written by a Marine. The following is his request. I think it is reasonable.

Please. Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon, and some credit is due our U.S. Service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

Please do your small part to plant this small seed.

Memories


Remember When

I'm talking 'bout hide and go seek at dusk. Sitting on the porch, Simon Says, Kick the Can, Red Light, Green Light. Lunch Boxes with a Thermos . . . that broke, chocolate milk, going home for lunch, penny candy from the corner store, Necco Wafers and Dot candy on paper, Hopscotch, butterscotch, double-dutch, jump rope, skates with keys, Jacks, Mother May I?, Hula Hoops, sunflower seeds, Whist, Old Maid and Crazy Eights.

Then there were wax lips and mustaches, Mary Jane's, saddle shoes and Coke bottles with the names of cities on the bottom, running through the sprinkler, running behind The Good Humor truck, circle pins, bobby pins, flicker rings, Spoolies, Fizzies, Mickey Mouse Club, Crusader Rabbit, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Time for Beany, Handy Hints . . . all in black & white.

When around the corner seemed far away, and going downtown seemed like going somewhere. Bedtime, climbing trees, making forts . . . coasters made from orange crates and an old skate, backyard shows, lemonade stands, Slip and Slide (attached to the garden hose), glittered macaroni, Colorforms, Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, sitting on the curb, staring at clouds, jumping down the steps, jumping on the bed . . . more memories next time . . .



Inspiration


A Stormy Conversion

There was once a man who didn't believe in God and he didn't hesitate to let others know how he felt about religion and religious holidays like Christmas. His wife, however, did believe and she reared their children to also have faith in Jesus, despite her husband's disparaging comments.

One snowy Christmas Eve his wife was taking their children to a church service in the farm community in which they lived.

She asked him to come, but he refused. "That story is nonsense!" he said. "Why would God lower Himself to come to earth as a man? That's ridiculous!"

So she and the children left, and he stayed home.

A while later, the winds grew strong, and the snow turned into a blizzard. As the man looked out the window, all he saw was a blinding snowstorm.

He sat down to relax before the fire for the evening.

Then he heard a loud thump. Something had hit the window. Then there was another thump. He looked out, but couldn't see more than a few feet. When the snow let up a little, he ventured outside to see what could have been beating on his window.

In the field near his house he saw a flock of wild geese. Apparently, they had been flying south for the winter when they got caught in the snowstorm and could not go on. They were lost and stranded on his farm with no food or shelter. They just flapped their wings and flew around the field in low circles, blindly and aimlessly. A couple of them had flown into his window, it seemed.

The man felt sorry for the geese and wanted to help them.

The barn would be a great place for them to stay, he thought. It is warm and safe; surely they could spend the night and wait out the storm. So he walked over to the barn and opened the doors wide, then watched and waited, hoping they would notice the open barn and go inside.

But the geese just fluttered around aimlessly and did not seem to notice the barn or realize what it could mean for them.

The man tried to get their attention, but that just seemed to scare them, and they moved farther away. He went into the house and came back out with some bread, broke it up, and made a crumb trail leading to the barn. They still didn't catch on.

He was getting really frustrated. He got behind them and tried to shoo them toward the barn, but they only got more scared and scattered in every direction except toward the barn. Nothing he did could get them to go into the barn where they would be warm and safe.

"Why don't they follow me?" he exclaimed. "Can't they see this is the only place where they can survive the storm?" He thought for a moment and realized that they just wouldn't follow a human. "If only I were a goose, then I could save them," he said out loud.

Then he had an idea. He went into barn, got one of his own geese, and carried it in his arms as he circled around behind the flock of wild geese. He then released it.

His goose flew through the flock and straight into the barn, and one by one the other geese followed it to safety.

He stood silently for a moment as the words he had spoken a few minutes earlier replayed in his mind: "If only I were a goose, then I could save them!"

Then he thought about what he had said to his wife earlier.

"Why would God want to be like us? That's ridiculous!"

Suddenly it all made sense. That is what God had done. We were like the geese—blind, lost, perishing. God sent His Son to become like us so He could show the way and save us.

As the winds and blinding snow died down, the man's soul became hushed and quiet while he pondered this wonderful thought. Suddenly he understood what Christmas was all about, why Christ had come. Years of doubt and disbelief vanished like the passing storm. He fell to his knees in the snow and prayed his first prayer:

"Thank You, God, for coming in human form to get me out of the storm!"
