Rick Warren: Stooge for Islam

Rick Warren: Stooge for Islam


A plethora of terror-related individuals surrounds the profile of Pastor Rick Warren on the “Speakers Corner” of the official website of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). He is fully aware of how he is being portrayed on the site (as this author has had correspondence with his office regarding the matter) but refuses to demand its deletion and offers no apology for its existence. Pastor Warren has become a shill for Islamic terror.
“As-salamu Alaykum. I come to you today deeply humbled and honored by this invitation. I truly mean that. I applaud your courage for inviting an Evangelical pastor. Thank you.” This was the opening statement of Rick Warren, the leading pastor of the influential Southern California Saddleback Church, as he stood in front of the attendees of ISNA’s 46th Annual Convention in July 2009.
He spoke these words as he stood at the podium emblazoned with ISNA’s logo, an image that, for many, is a symbol of terror and stealth jihad.
ISNA is an American arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. It was founded in 1981 by a group of individuals which included the North American leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Sami al-Arian. http://frontpagemag.com/2010/10/01/rick-warren-terrorisms-useful-idiot/

Conditioned to accept Socialism

Posted by Corthell on Monday, October 04, 2010 6:56:43 AM

Conditioned to accept Socialism


If the secret Nazi plan is coming to fulfillment today, the logical question to ask is what connection is there between the Nazis and Islamic terrorists? First, it should be remembered that the secret Nazi plan included between 200,000-300,000 men within German plants, factories, city administrations, etc., going underground just within Germany. Secondly, it should be remembered that all of the radical Islamic groups today have their roots in the Muslim Brotherhood which was begun in Egypt and allied with the Nazis.
Next, it is important to remember the connections of the CIA (and British intelligence) with the Nazis and radical Islamists. For example, the CIA and Nazi Gen. Reinhard Gehlen’s organization overthrew the elected Iranian government in 1953, with the approval of the Ayatollah Kashani. And in the late 1950s, the CIA supported an Iraqi 6-man assassination team including a young Saddam Hussein. Later, the CIA would help train Osama bin Laden’s mujahadeen. http://www.newswithviews.com/Cuddy/dennis191.htm

My Sharia, My-My-My Sharia Zona

Posted by Corthell on Monday, October 04, 2010 6:54:56 AM

My Sharia, My-My-My Sharia Zona

You cannot change cultures where education means nothing and you cannot change cultures
immersed in poverty for centuries. But they will CHANGE our culture. How’s that ‘change’ working out for you?
In Minneapolis, Minnesota today, our U.S. Congress forced thousands of bush people called Somalian immigrants into that area with full welfare compliments. When they work, they only qualify to drive cabs, but they won’t pick up any Americans with dogs, booze or grocery bags with a ham included. They demand prayer rooms at the airports on public property.
At some point, they will, via their dominate numbers, engage Sharia Law within the United States. That means our republican form of 1st Amendment rights, women’s rights and our whole way of Western thought drops down to the chopping block of a 6th century barbaric political/religious system. And folks, it’s coming....When we keep importing 1.5 million third world immigrants, what do we expect? How will we ever recover from our accelerating polyglot society? I am convinced we have become a nation of victims and apathetic couch potatoes. And let me tell you, we are going to pay and pay BIG in the coming years. While we have struggled with the black/white divide for our entire history, just wait until we start battling the Mexicans, Muslims, Blacks and Whites—all working for control! We may be one of few and stupid countries in the world that displaced one dominate racial group for a bunch of squabbling ones. Ain’t that ducky?

Salvation by A.I. machines

Posted by Corthell on Sunday, October 03, 2010 6:35:06 AM
If you won $200 million in the lottery,
what would you spend it on?

  

Above human, below God 

Unfortunately for mankind, the technological and cultural shift now underway not only unapologetically forecasts a future dominated by a new species of unrecognizably superior humans, but an unfathomable war—both physical and spiritual—that the world is not prepared for. It will be fought on land, within the air and sea, and in dimensions as yet incomprehensible. Even now, the synthetic forces that will plot man’s wholesale annihilation are quietly under design in leading laboratories, public and private, funded by the most advanced nations on earth, including the official governments of the United States, France, Britain, Australia, and China, to name a few. As a result of progressive deduction, reasoning, and problem solving in fields of neurotechnology and cybernetics, strong artificial intelligence or “artilects” will emerge from this research, godlike, massively intelligent machines that are “trillions of trillions of times smarter than humans” and whose rise will prove profoundly disruptive to human culture, leading to a stark division between philosophical, ideological, and political groups who either support the newly evolved life forms as the next step in human and technological evolution or who view this vastly superior intellect as an incalculable risk and deadly threat to the future of humanity. These diametrically opposed worldviews will ultimately result in a preemptive new world war—what is already being described as gigadeath, the bloodiest battle in history with billions of deaths before the end of the twenty-first century.

The price of leadership

Posted by Corthell on Saturday, October 02, 2010 5:47:15 AM

The price of leadership


Although I wish that I could have avoided the suffering I have gone through, I realize that God has given me a platform as a result. And I want to use that platform to glorify him through it.

If you are called to be a leader, then it will cost you. There will be some pain. If you are called to lead, there are times it will hurt a little. And sometimes it will hurt a lot.
Generally we try to avoid pain. At least I do. Some dentists advertise "pain-free dentistry," which I believe is an oxymoron. You may be pumped full of Novocain or nitrous oxide, but ultimately there will be some pain involved. When we want to get into better shape, we wonder if there is a way to work out without actually breaking a sweat. But we ultimately must face the truth of the adage, "No pain, no gain."
What is true of the dentist and the gym is also true of life. When we have pain in our lives, it reminds us of a deeper need: the need for God. A.W. Tozer said, "It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply." Take the apostle Paul for example. After his encounter with Jesus, Paul blazed a trail, leaving behind many churches and converts. Paul preached to philosophers, Pharisees, rulers, soldiers, sorcerers, sailors, slaves and most likely to Caesar himself. It is not an understatement to say that Paul changed his world. He was charged with the message of the gospel, and he brought it to his generation and did so brilliantly. As we look over his ministry, we know that God did miracles through Paul. We are aware of the fact that he wrote a great portion of the New Testament. We quote him frequently. He was God's man.
But there is another aspect of Paul's life that we sometimes forget about: He suffered. When God called Ananias to go and pray for Paul after his conversion, Ananias was a bit resistant. But God told him, "I will show him how much he must suffer for my name" (Acts 9:16 NIV). That gets missed sometimes. We think of Paul the preacher, Paul the writer and Paul the miracle worker, but we tend to overlook Paul, the man who suffered.
Those in leadership have all suffered in varying degrees. They have been second-guessed and have been the victims of gossip and sometimes slander. They have even been threatened. Some have lost their lives. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=210533

The very real threat of an unreal president

Posted by Corthell on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 8:03:58 AM

The very real threat of an unreal president
  • Obama gives his audience permission to be selfish, greedy, grasping, bigoted and xenophobic...
To use the Presidential bully pulpit as a blunt instrument against a news organization, to label its approach destructive, to label its content destructive, that is -- to coin a phrase -- destructive. Think back to our first clue that Hugo Chavez was an autocrat, bent on subverting those national institutions which did not refract his glory.

We live in a surreal time. The Presidency we are experiencing does not merely bend the rules of civility, it alters the outlines of reality. The danger posed by someone filling the vessels of our national institutions with bad content is limited. The next custodian of the vessels can refill them more healthily. The greatest danger occurs when the vessels are smashed or vitiated by misuse. There is no guarantee that a successor will be able to effectuate repair.
I want to say that I am shocked by the President's latest utterance about FOX News, but I fear that we have moved past shock into numbness. Mister Obama, in a chatty colloquy with the publisher of Rolling Stone, while being treated with deference befitting a royal, thought it sporting to hound FOX. That network is destructive to America, he said, hawking a clearly discernible viewpoint like the Hearst papers of yore. It has been a successful strategy in fiscal terms, he noted: "wildly successful as an economic enterprise." Good for Rupert Murdoch, bad for America. (Well, shiver me timbers, our fearless President has managed to unmask yet another profiteer!)

ex Military: Aliens have deactivated nukes in the past

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, September 28, 2010 6:52:58 AM

Aliens have deactivated nukes in the past


Rendlesham Forest UFO Cover-Up—Britain's Roswell Incident

Aliens have deactivated nukes in the past


The beings have repeated their efforts in the US and have been active since 1948, the men said, and accused the respective governments of trying to keep the information secret.
The unlikely claims were compiled by six former US airmen and another member of the military who interviewed or researched the evidence of 120 ex-military personnel.
The information they have collected suggests that aliens could have landed on Earth as recently as seven years ago.
The men's aim is to press the two governments to recognise the long-standing extra-terrestrial visits as fact.
They are to be presented on Monday 27 September at a meeting in Washington.
One of the men, Capt Robert Salas, said: "The US Air Force is lying about the national security implications of unidentified aerial objects at nuclear bases and we can prove it." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/ufo/8026971/Aliens-have-deactivated-British-and-US-nuclear-missiles-say-US-military-pilots.html

High times for advertising

Posted by Corthell on Monday, September 27, 2010 8:05:10 AM

High times for advertising


"We cannot wait," said Howard Bashford. "Delay destroys, and if we aren't ready before Nov. 2, some other agency will beat us to the punch."
"I totally agree," said Amy Handleman.
"Me too," said Jill Poke.
And so the three principals of Bashford, Handleman and Poke, Advertising and Public Relations, sat down to brainstorm ad campaigns for retail marijuana.
The partners anticipated passage of Proposition 19, the cannabis legalization measure on the California ballot. BH&P knew every other ad agency in the country would be trying, if not to corner the business, at least to reap a portion of the bonanza of a market filled with competing producers.
Bashford, as senior partner, took the lead.
"Clearly, our model ought to be taken from another dangerous drug," he said. "The tobacco companies have been showing us the way for decades. For example, when it comes to marijuana, it's going to be tough to improve on Chesterfields' "Blow some my way.'" http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=208201

Clinton stoked al-Qaida

Posted by Corthell on Monday, September 27, 2010 8:04:17 AM

Clinton stoked al-Qaida


For the life of me I cannot understand why liberals still get away with their baseless, nonsensical assertions that over time prove false. But they do. And the far left continues to follow, like mindless robots, an ideology that is harming America and placing us in greater danger every day.
When the screams from the left called for the closing of Gitmo, Barack Obama and other lefties heard them loud and clear. They committed to closing a well-operated detention facility because it was dubbed by the left as al-Qaida's strongest tool of recruitment for young jihadists.
In their minds, the "torture" meted out by the CIA was spurring growth among the ranks of suicide bombers. Therefore, the enhanced interrogation methods, proven highly effective in preventing future attacks, must be stopped. The reason? It would provide Osama bin Laden a "recruiting tool."
What a joke!

The single most effective recruiting tool al-Qaida possesses springs eternal from Democrats. It is the misguided appeasers who subscribe to the foolish notion that if we are nice to the enemy they will love us. It started under Bill Clinton. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=208405

Print journalism has failed in the USA

Posted by Corthell on Monday, September 27, 2010 7:51:57 AM

Print journalism has failed in the USA


As noted at Politico yesterday: “The aggregators fill their websites with news, opinion, features, photographs and video that they continuously collect – some would say steal – from other national and local news sites, along with mostly unpaid postings by bloggers who settle for exposure in lieu of money,” Downie said. “Though they purport to be a new form of journalism, these aggregators are primarily parasites living off journalism produced by others. They attract audiences by aggregating journalism about special interests and opinions reflecting a predictable point of view on the left or right of the political spectrum, along with titillating gossip and sex. Revealing photo of and stories about entertainment and celecrities account for much of the highly touted web traffic to the Huffington Post site, for example.” http://oklahoma.watchdog.org/1261/old-media-raises-a-fuss-over-web-aggregators/

To rebel is to say no

Posted by Corthell on Monday, September 27, 2010 7:51:20 AM

To rebel is to say no


The countdown clock and the last chance for “The Founder’s Legacy” of patriotic Americans willing to lay it all on the line for a new Republic, has hit 0:00. Rebellion is no longer an option, a late night “what if” discussion around a bottle of good wine and snacks. It is now the mandated response of oath keeping citizens and Constitutional defending men and women who have heard Paul Revere in 2010. That “watchman,” who made the most famous call to prepare for rebellion in the history of the world, has come again, through all of us who have been riding across our land for several years and warned of the arrival of this most critical moment. It did not materialize lightly or without a desperate realization that it was on the way, and when it did appear at the horizon, life has not and will not ever be the same. Whether you accept this assessment or not, you will be involved in its reality, prepared or not, on board with the need to reclaim this country for freedom’s sake or not, courageous enough to muster with the band of the free and brave or not, you WILL still be counted among those who stood and fought with your countrymen, or posterity will judge you as cowards unworthy to live free.
If you need a “Manifesto” to justify your opposition to “traitors” in communistic, statist Washington D.C., and a supremely evil Presidential cabal headed by Obama, then here is one. http://www.newswithviews.com/Evensen/greg157.htm
