Obama, the Pope and the Ice Sculpture in Jerusalem

Obama is due to arrive in Jerusalem on March 20, according to local Israeli newspapers. At the top of the President's agenda is to convince (confirm?) Prime Minister Netanyahu that the US is serious about preventing Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. Is this "And he will confirm a covenant with many." - Daniel 9:27?

On the second day of Obama's visit, at precisely noon time, Obama will visit a model of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period.

Israel is also featuring an Ice Festival during the months of March and April. Although it is unclear if Obama will visit, a sculpture has been constructed in his image. Revelation 13:15 - "The second beast (the Pope?) was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed."

According to the prophecy of Saint Malachy written in 1138 A.D. St. Malachy stated there would be 112 popes of the Roman Catholic Church. St. Malachy did not assign names to these popes, but rather he described them in a descriptive manner. Pope number 111 he described as being of the olives or somehow being connected to olives. To some of his friends, Pope Benedict - who has recently resigned - was known as the Olivet Pope. Pope Benedict was also pope number 111.

Saint Malachy did make one exception in his descriptions of the future Popes of the Catholic Church. He said the final Pope, Pope number 112, would be a black man whom he named Peter of Rome.

Revelation 8:1, "When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour." On February 3, 2013, the Superbowl was played between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49er's. About a minute and a half into the third quarter following a 109 yard punt return by Jacoby Jones, the lights went out in the stadium. After about half an hour (34 minutes) the lights came on again. I have heard, and I tend to agree, that this period of about half an hour is symbolic of Revelation 8:1.

The second half of this game was also totally different than the first half. Although the Ravens held off the attack by San Francisco, the game was a much different game in the second half than it was during the first half. I believe this is also God's way of saying that the next three and a half years will be totally different than the last three and a half years.

A couple of years ago while sitting in church on a Sunday morning, I suddenly felt the impression to write something. I grabbed a church bulletin and on the back of it I wrote, "Within the next five days, the world will have changed." Five days later, the Arab Spring began.

I have that sane feeling again. But this time, I have this feeling: Within the next ten days, the world will have changed.

God is coming, Jesus will be here soon, I am ready to meet my maker (can;t wait in fact) are you ready?

Focusing On Solutions

Frankly, I really don't care what you think; I don't focus on the problem, I focus on the solutions. In my possible run for US Senate, it won't be my job to make you happy; it is my job to be honest. I know I don't have the answers to all the questions, but I know I will ask you for your help. I can't say I will accept your advice, but I do promise to listen. I won't be politically correct, I'll call it as I see it. In my search for answers, I will find the truth and seek to implement it, regardless of where that takes me. I expect the same of you.

Is America Falling Into Slavery?

“Every nation that has ended in tyranny has come to that end by way of good order. It certainly does not follow from this that peoples should scorn public peace, but neither should they be satisfied with that and nothing more. A nation that asks nothing of government but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart; it is a slave of its well-being, ready for the man who will put it in chains.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville

Capitalist Perfection

My belief is that capitalism is a near-perfect system, if all parties involved adhere to the moral principles and values of a sovereign God. Failing that, capitalism slowly devolves into a system of greed, power and wealth. That is what we see today in the US and it is observable in all nations that do not closely follow Christian principles.

Now that the US is no longer a Christian nation - regardless of what Sunday preachers or televangelists may claim - just look around for proof - a postcapitalist system must be implemented which is fundamentally different than the capitalism that built this nation. It must be fair, equalitarian (equal opportunity for all but not equal results for all) and adhere to principles which both theists and atheists can agree to. This postcapitalist system must also be open, transparent and comprehensive. Tax rates must be reduced, regulations loosened or eliminated, the Fed, IRS, DHS and Dept of Energy disbanded. Education must also be restructured. A charter school in Yuma, AZ seems to have a grasp of what is required. Rather than classrooms, students sit in cubicles. Lessons and course are available on the computers within each cubicle and teachers monitor and assist. Students learn by doing rather than by rote. And they learn at their own pace. This is just one method which seems to be working. The only thing I would change is for the students who have mastered the material to help those who have not.

Saving the GOP

The GOP candidate lost the presidential election because the party ignored a dominant shift in demographics. In order to win national office, the Republican Party must reorient itself toward these key demographics.

1. it must reorient itself toward hispanic voters
2. it must reorient itself toward immigrants
3. it must reorient itself toward single women especially mothers
4. it must reorient itself toward the impoverished and those receiving state and federal assistance, seeking ways to lift this demographic out of poverty
5. it must reorient itself toward small business
6. it must reorient itself toward all those earning less than 1 million dollars a year

In reorienting toward these demographics, the GOP must execute policy which the recipients perceive as beneficial to them, regardless of how legislators, pundits and decision makers create and implement policy initiatives.

In addition, the GOP must disassociate itself from special interests which are perceived by the American-body-politick as being detrimental, if not malevolent, to its own ideals. These include:

1. disassociation with Big Business and its influence
2. disassociation with Wall Street
3. disassociation with back door and back room deals
4. disassociation with any group or interest that puts its own needs ahead of the national interest

Although number 4 may be a challenge because every group - and every person - seeks to improve their position and status in life, we all can find ways to achieve these ends without jeopardizing the same for other groups.

Certain legislation should also be enacted to help the United States move forward without the dragging influence of special interests and the divisiveness Big Business and special interests create between Congress and themselves on one side and the American people on the other. Also certain initiatives should be executed to establish a baseline from which clear decisions can be made.

1. balanced budget amendment
2. 12 year term limits amendment for both the Senate and the House
3. public and transparent audit of the Federal Reserve
4. public and transparent audit of the Energy Department, FDA, Dept. of Education and the DOD.
5. public and transparent audit of all recipients of TARP
6. dissolve the IRS, Federal Reserve and the TSA
7. revoke all policy, acts, initiatives and legislation which supersede the Constitution (e.g. TSA, wiretaps, seizure of private property)

And the GOP should support several initiatives and issues.

1. unions which serve their membership and which do no disservice to the public or nation
2. strict new legislation and regulations on the size and operations of Big Banks with a reemphasis promoting community banks
3. a labor initiative which supports a realistic minimum wage, a minimum of 3 week annual vacations, protection of working mothers

How and in what way these initiatives should be supported must be left to discussion and debate within the halls of corporate America, around the watercooler, across kitchen tables and over coffee tables, in coffee shops and sports bars and in the halls and meeting rooms of Congress.

Finally there are at least 2 initiatives the GOP may consider.

1. establishing that all natural resources of a state are the rightful property of the citizens of that state and that any extraction of said natural resources shall be licensed at a marketable, fair rate and at least 80% of such proceeds directly distributed to the recipients in the form of a check in their name mailed to their last known address or direct deposit to their bank account (think Alaska)
2. requiring each corporation with gross revenues of 50 (100?) million or over to establish an employee trust fund to which 10% to 25% of profits shall be distributed and paid out to eligible employees monthly and an employees stock trust that shall hold no less than 10% of a corporations stock enabling employees to vote in corporate actions

With this plan in hand, the GOP may be able to recapture key demographics it has lost and help impel the US economy toward growth and greater productivity.

10-15-1 - A New Tax Plan

In my book I briefly reviewed a new tax plan. Here I will present this plan in greater detail.

10-15-1

10%
Individuals and corporations earning up to 1 million dollars would be taxed at a flat rate of 10% of income.

Most deductions and credits would remain in place, e.g. real estate, tuition credits, energy credits, interest payments and standard deductions for small business (up to 1 million annual revenues).

15%
Individuals and corporations earning over 1 million dollars annually would be taxed at 15% with fewer deductions and credits allowed.

Exactly what credits and deductions would be changed or modified would need to be left to Congress, but No increase or additional deductions or credits would occur.

1%
A nationwide 1% sales tax would be implemented. Food, rent and mortgage and basic necessities would be exempted.

I believe that, in conjunction with the elimination of most tax subsidies - if not all - and the implementation of a balanced budget this plan would go far to easing the debt and ensuring economic growth and stability.
