Socialism as Explained by Dr. David Jeremiah/Wake Up, People

 

Socialism is tailor made for the antichrist. It’s not really the people, but the top tier of them. The ones who have power and are corruptible and dictatorial.

Karl Marx is ruling the world from his grave. He said the church is medieval mildew. Marxists believe in God. They just hate him. Marx was a cheerleader for the devil. His tomb is in East Highgate Cemetery, London, an area reserved for agnostics and atheists.

Socialists thrive on division. Marxism leaves no room for dissenting opinions. That is what is going on in our schools today.

Socialism leads to greed, selfishness, vindictiveness.

Communism leads to death. Destruction of monuments is the first step of liquidating history to write new books and forget the past.

Defunding of police : they want local governments to fail and let the feds take over for nationalism where a few people take over.

Redistribution of wealth. Not one single success story! The Bible promotes saving, investment and a laborer worthy of his wages.

Venezuela is a social and economic wasteland with a lack of commodities. Oppressed, barren, hopeless. Marxism caused it. Shudder and hit the ground and pray.

 “A leader who freely listens to lying words has only impious servants.” Proverbs 29:12 Just because someone in power says it’s true doesn’t mean it’s true.

“Remember” is in the Bible a lot.  Socialism and Marxist thought emerged long after the Bible was written, but that does not mean scripture is silent about the trouble behind this ideology. The Bible lays out many economic principles that point us away from socialist concepts. Consider these verses:

There is dignity in work. Ephesians 4:28: “Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.”

Laziness should not be tolerated. 2 Thessalonians 3:10: “For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.”

Scripture affirms providing for our families and saving for the future. Proverbs 13:22: “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.”

Thrift is encouraged. Proverbs 21:20: “There is desirable treasure, and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it.”

The Lord expects us to be wise stewards of the resources He gives us. Matthew 25:27: “So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.”

We have a right to protect our private property and seek restitution when it is stolen. Exodus 22:7: “If a man delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.”

Private property is an asset that we can use for the benefit of God’s people. Acts 4:34-37: “Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”

Scripture teaches us to respect the personal property of others. Exodus 20:15: “You shall not steal.”

We should be content with what we have, even if others have more. Exodus 20:17: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

My Mother's Treasure Leads To Finding Author Who Hasn't Spoken To Media in 58 Years

My Mother’s JFK Treasure Leads To Finding Author Who Hasn’t Spoken To Media in 58 Years

By Mary Ann Van Osdell

A 15-year-old New York sophomore’s class assignment on President John Kennedy’s assassination went viral so to speak before social media even existed.


Barbara Jones Maher’s poem, “Special Delivery from Heaven,” was famous in 1963 and is still found on eBay. It was one of my mother’s treasures. It has been translated into 10 languages and made into a recording. People from all over the world (Europe and Asia) sent Barbara letters when they read it.

“This is the only time I have ever responded to someone wanting to talk about my JFK poem despite many such requests over the years,” Barbara said, adding that said has had her reasons for not speaking about it. “There seem to be a number of compelling reasons for me to do so at this moment in time,” she said.

“I felt the poem had little literary merit,” said Barbara, now 73, who has enjoyed writing since she was 5.

Her English class at Sacred Heart High School in Yonkers was asked to submit a eulogy for Kennedy for the school newspaper. Always obedient since it was a Catholic school, Barbara is still surprised she didn’t write a eulogy. “It was out of character for me.” She wrote the poem in 10 minutes.

“It came from my heart and was never meant for anyone else,” Barbara said. Yet it touched the city in which her father served as police lieutenant and later deputy chief (he worked on the Son of Sam case). He shared the raw copy with his precinct and so many others wanted copies that it was sent over the teletype system.

The school newspaper was being dedicated to the slain President. Because of Barbara’s sentiments, the New York Journal-American did a Sunday feature and other large newspapers also published -- before the Sacred Heart Green-Gold Echoes. The school newspaper lost the scoop.

“It went from friend to friend,” Barbara said. Her brother Edward, a student at Iona College, showed it around campus and he was also swamped with requests. More and more newspaper reporters got a hold of it.

“It just blew up,” Barbara said. “It gave people comfort.” Barbara said camera crews began following her around, even at the bowling alley.

The Post Office delivered mailbags to her high school and some put money in their letters. Barbara’s parents returned the money and responded personally to hundreds of letters “despite the expense of postage." The letters were kept in several large suitcases and poem-related articles and clippings were in several scrapbooks, but sadly their house was completely destroyed by fire. Barbara only has a few in her basement. Her father died as a result of the fire and her mother not long after.

Barbara got a formal thank you from Jacqueline Kennedy. The poem is in the Congressional Record. On  Jan. 15, 1964, in Rep. Jacob Gilbert’s extension of remarks, he called the poem “splendid” and  added that it had beautiful thoughts of a young lady that will touch everyone.

Notoriety was unwelcome to Barbara. She called herself a “nerd,” and most importantly, was someone who never wanted to profit from a murder. Barbara refused compensation for appearances in the tri-state area beyond gas and tolls.

Barbara did agree to read occasionally at her father's urging and they attended the annual Alfred E. Smith dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria. She wore a velvet gown and her father donned a tuxedo. She met Cardinal Francis Spellman and Bishop Fulton Sheen. Spellman founded the event in 1945 to raise funds for Catholic charities supporting children.

Barbara is also a lifetime member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.


She turned down four academically-earned college scholarships as well as two others offered by generous benefactors touched by her poem. Instead, she married her high school sweetheart Bobby at age 19. Sadly, he died of cancer just ten years later, leaving Barbara to raise their two little girls alone.

She lucked into a teaching job at her alma mater, later got a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in psychology in three years and has taught college classes.

Barbara said she never gave an English assignment that she wouldn’t do herself. The students did not write their names on their papers, but used identification numbers. Therefore, they could talk about the papers, not knowing who wrote them. She put her own work in the mix. 

A giant laminated copy of her poem was placed at Sacred Heart and later sent to her parents.

Barbara is now retired and enjoys a memoir writing group with a dozen talented people. Barbara takes great joy in having her daughters and teenage grandson living nearby.

Barbara said she never set out to defy her parents about getting a free education, but thought marriage was the right thing and has no regrets. “We had nothing and we had everything,” she said.

“I value the same things as before,” she added.

She met “wonderful, generous people” as a young poet. She says sometimes she just says, “It happened and I can’t believe it happened.”

However, “any number of people claim to have written it” and one could buy copies on plates and placards from others. It’s disheartening, but Barbara has come to terms about everything and will no longer rule out going to Kennedy memorials or conferences in the future.

She doesn’t have an opinion on who killed Kennedy. “I don’t know. At the time I knew little,” she said. “I was enamored with him and deeply moved, but have no strong feeling on who did it.”

Barbara remembers being in Mr. McCormick’s American history class when a rare notice came over the public address system. The announcement said, “Something terrible happened and we need to say a prayer.”

Later, the students were told about the assassination and Barbara said you could hear a pin drop. Class was dismissed early.

Years later she was teaching in her classroom and watched the Twin Towers burn.

Editor’s Note: With the possibility that this story stirs up more media requests of Barbara, I wanted to make sure she was prepared. She answered, “Yes, I’m an adult now.”

 Sidebar

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by accident.

Barbara said there are some really strange parallels/coincidences that appear to be at force after being tracked down for this story. She said she keeps humming a spiritual from a key scene in The Color Purple, “Maybe God’s trying to tell you somethin’.”

“I hope you don’t mind that I Googled you,” she told me after I also used Google to find her. I found her father’s obituary since his name was on the explanation of the poem. It led to finding Barbara’s sister on Facebook. Her sister passed on my phone number.

“Your interests are important to me,” Barbara texted.

Since reading “Gone with the Wind “ as a young girl, she’s been obsessed with all things Southern, from culture to cuisine and all things in between. Visits one day to New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston are at the top of her bucket list.

The ninth annual JFK Assassination Conference (where I have been asked to give the opening prayer and sparked my interest in finding Barbara) is being held at the Magnolia Hotel in Dallas where the famous Pegasus Flying Red Horse adorns the roof. Barbara’s brother flew F-15s and his squadron was called Pegasus. He died Nov. 5.

Barbara found that I love memoir writing. She does, too. She knew that I wrote a book called Hands Pointed Up, which includes inspirational sayings that include the word "up” to help people keep a positive attitude. She is always inspired by her late husband's positivity and his favorite expression in the face of ANY adversity--big or small--was “It’s Just A Little Inconvenience.” In fact, J A L I is the title of the memoir she is currently writing.

She noticed I once served on the Food Bank board of directors and said she, too, worked on food drives.

She thought my name was German and her brother loved to visit Germany. My maternal grandparents were born in Germany.

Yes, something, rather Someone, was at play for us to connect. Thank you, God.

#McCarthy likes to gamble and drink and will take loans from lobbyists. He was a boxer. He would congratulate others outside of the ring and use that in politics. He died at 48 of alcoholism.

Panel of Authors Meets at Third Conference To Try To Exonerate Oswald


 
A mosaic of information was presented at the Oswald Conference held in October in Kenner just months before the 100th birthday of President John Kennedy to pique interest in the lone shooter theory being incorrect.

 
Featured over two and a half days were authors and researchers with a collective knowledge of hundreds of years, one going as far to say that we were all shot that day. Attendees came from the United Kingdom, Scotland, Washington and Florida.

 
George Noory, two-time Emmy winner and radio host, said we lost America that day. "It was taken away from us."

 
Barr McClellan, author of Blood, Money, & Power: How LBJ Killed JFK, says not a day goes by when he doesn't research. The assassination is still an open case in Dallas because it never went to trial, he said.

 
Gary Fannin, author of The Innocence of Oswald–50+ Years of Lies, Deception & Deceit in the Murders of President John F. Kennedy & Officer J.D. Tippit, said whoever ascends to power is what historians should study. And who had something to lose if Kennedy lived?

 
David Denton, a social science instructor at a college in Illinois, said while teaching the assassination, in about 20 minutes, "You're going to figure out something's wrong" with the Warren Commission outcome.

 
Edgar Tatro, professor and author, said the media lied, spun or hid truth, obliterating the understanding of history. "The bamboozle captures you," he said. He said the assassination is the huge dam behind which all other lies lie.

 
While the Mafia, CIA, Russians, Cubans and any number of groups could have killed Kennedy, Tatro said, they could not have gotten Kennedy's car to drive only 11 m.p.h. without a bubbletop through Dealey Plaza. That came from Lyndon Johnson's inner circle, he said.

 
It was brought up that it seemed mysterious that Tom Shipman, Kennedy's regular driver, died at age 51 at Camp David six weeks before the assassination. Replacement William Greer did not accelerate once Kennedy was shot and brake lights were shown in a photo. In Killing Kennedy, he turns around.

Panelists said 28 suspicious deaths have an alleged connection to the Kennedy assassination.

Also mentioned was the diary of Roscoe White, a former Marine and Dallas police officer, found by his son 11 years after the assassination, which indicates his involvement. Roscoe's wife was employed by Jack Ruby for several weeks and she apparently overheard her husband and Ruby discussing plans for the assassination.

Judyth Baker, who worked in a coffee shop with Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans in 1963 and claimed to be his mistress, was a prodigy in cancer research who shortly thereafter worked with Dr. Mary Sherman who was murdered (still unsolved), and a cast of assassination characters with such familiar names as David Ferrie, a central figure in District Attorney Jim Garrison's investigation of the assassination that brought Clay Shaw to trial. Baker had a key to Sherman's home.

 
When Baker worked with Oswald, he had conversations with her about operations being conducted against Fidel Castro possibly involving biological weapons. They visited Ferrie's home where he apparently kept mice.

 
Panelist Victoria Hawes said she was neighbors to Sherman and Juan Valdes and heard constant toilet flushing, which she later believed to be mice cancer carcasses. She knew Oswald from junior high school and he knocked on her door once, mistaking it for the apartment of Valdes.

 
Baker has a medical anthropology degree. She said Oswald was not dumb, saying he used the word vestibule instead of atrium as an example. Baker said Let It Be Me by the Everly Brothers was "their song."

 
She spoke of the famous photo of the Oswald shooting by Ruby with the law enforcement escort wearing what she called a "don't shoot at me suit," a light color. She said Oswald was not given oxygen in the ambulance.

 
She said she met Rafael Cruz at the Trade Mart. Ted Cruz's father was brought up when Donald Trump implied he was linked to the assassination.

 
In fear of what might happen to her, Baker lives overseas and did not go to her sister's wedding or grandparents' funerals.

 
Gary Severson spoke of a conservation tour that Kennedy was on from Sept. 24 through Oct. 3, weeks before the assassination. He attended one in Grand Forks, N.D., at age 16 and got through five sets of doors in the arena, breaching security. Yet there were snipers on the roof. Later in life, he researched how he could have had such access and was told the head of security, Dr. John Penn, professor, gave the keys to the building to the Secret Service.

 
H.L. Hunt spent time in North Dakota and money in an anti-Kennedy campaign because Kennedy was interested in revoking the oil depletion allowance, a decision that would have meant steep losses for Texas oilmen, Severson said.

 
In his research, Severson heard ranting about killing Kennedy and people sending letters to LBJ claiming they saw Oswald in North Dakota in the late 1950s  "to leave a paper trail."

 
Roger Stone, author of The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, worked for nine Presidents (Nixon and Reagan). He said LBJ had motive, means and opportunity. Who controlled the Dallas Police Department and the D.A.?, he asked. Murder of a President was not a federal crime at the time Kennedy was assassinated. The police chief never left LBJ's sight, even on the plane, Stone said. Protocols used in Miami and Chicago Kennedy visits were not observed in Dallas. The number of motorcycle police patrolmen was not as high and plainclothesmen were not in the crowd, Stone said.

 
In a forensics panel that included Dennis David, a corpsman at Bethesda Naval Hospital, he said there were two caskets brought there. He said his mentor William Pitzer's alleged possession of autopsy-related film and photographs appeared to contradict the official findings of the autopsy. Pitzer was found with a single gunshot wound to the head the same day the Kennedy family agreed to release to the National Archives several items related to the autopsy. The Naval investigation into Pitzer's death reported no evidence of foul play, but David disagrees.

 
James Jenkins, one of two Navy corpsmen who served as an autopsy technician, said he believes the President's brain was removed and replaced, possibly substituted, between Dallas and Bethesda.

 
Other testimony of various speakers included mention of Ike Altgens of the Associated Press having a photo of LBJ already ducking before the bullets were fired and the Dallas funeral home saying Kennedy had glass fragments in him from a bullet through the windshield, defying the shot from behind theory.

 
Russ Baker, author of Family of Secrets, said George H.W. Bush oddly doesn't remember where he was when Kennedy was assassinated. He covers five chapters on the assassination in the book. He believes in a penumbra of covert CIA operations. Baker founded www.whowhatwhy.org.

Ban Cell Phones at Public Meetings

I gave up my cell phone for Lent two years ago and am now suggesting our legislators give up theirs entirely.
I, along with 150 other concerned citizens, attended the census hearing conducted by the House and Senate governmental affairs redistricting committee Monday night at the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum.
The group gave a presentation for 55 minutes, then members of the audience who had requested to speak had three minutes to comment, give or take. The latter part lasted 50 minutes.
Of the 10 committee members on the front row lording over the meeting, three used their phones or palm devices at one time or another. One gentleman actually put his to his ear and the other two were either surfing the Internet, checking e-mail or texting.
I got even madder when I found out they received a per diem payment for nine meetings held across the state. They were working -- on our dollar -- and not paying attention. Plus, the behavior is rude and distracting and indicates that their minds are made up.
This begs investigation into an even bigger issue. Are we paying for these cellular data plans? If so, let’s stop the abuse.
I understand the importance of communication; it’s my major and vocation for 32 years. I have been attached to a phone or beeper since the early 90s and am as “addicted” as the next person. But if I can give up my personal phone for 40 days, certainly legislators can put theirs away for 40 to 50 minutes.
I regret I was unprepared to document the heads-down time of so many during this meeting and hear it’s happening amongst other elected officials. Next time I’ll be taking names and clocking the inattention to the constituents. I’ve got your number.
