Introduction

Words have a tremendous impact on us. Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or evil. The basic tool for the manipulation of truth is the manipulation of words. If one can control the meaning of words, one can control the people who use those words. Likewise, the basic tool for the preservation of truth is the preservation of God’s words. If one understands the original meaning of God’s words, we can more easily recognize those who try to manipulate and control others through deception and the altering of the original definitions of words.   Continue reading “The Power of Words – The Words of His Kingdom and the Words of the World Compared”

It has been theoretically demonstrated and seen in general practice that a monetary system of 100% metallic money devoid of central banking checks monetary inflation, prevents a general rise in the price level, and eliminates the dreaded business cycle while making all sorts of monetary mischief nearly impossible.  A gold standard is not only economically superior to any paper money scheme, but is morally just, which is why it is hated by the politically well-connected, academics, politicians, and the rest of the Establishment.   Continue reading “The Gold Standard: Friend of the Middle Class”

It is well known that the FBI still does not have roughly 30,000 emails that Hillary Clinton deleted from her private server due to Clinton categorizing them as personal and not work related.

HARTFORD, Conn. –  A Connecticut father and son are headed for a court showdown with the Federal Aviation Administration over whether the agency can force them to disclose information about drones shown in two YouTube videos firing a gun and deploying a flame thrower in their backyard.

The long-awaited House committee report on the 2012 Benghazi attacks revealed a striking irony: In the end, the forces that came to evacuate State Department and CIA officers that night were not fellow Americans, but a secret unit of former military officers from the Qaddafi regime that Washington – and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – had helped overthrow.    Continue reading “Americans at Benghazi post were rescued by Qaddafi officer militia, report reveals”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid the clamor a year ago to release 28 still-secret pages of a congressional inquiry into the Sept. 11 attacks, the government quietly declassified a little-known report listing more than three dozen people who piqued the interest of investigators probing possible Saudi connections to the hijackers.

In the 2005 film Lord of War, Nicholas Cage portrays a prominent Ukrainian-American gun-runner by the name of Yuri Orlov, who makes immense profits peddling helicopter rockets, grenades, and AK-47s following the collapse of the former Soviet Union.

At one stage in the movie, his wife attempts to coax him into diversifying into a more legitimate (and moral) business operation.  She feels appropriately guilty that they live such an extravagant lifestyle as a result of her husband’s business dealing in the tools of destruction.   Continue reading “Can we become wealthy by honest means in the 2010s?”
