Second:
The
Science Delusion by Rupert Sheldrake was
censored/removed/banned on Ted. You can still see it at this
link but you simply can't see it on Ted. The reason being that
militant, atheistic, materialists have control of Ted. They
are as emphatic about their opposition to any religious point
of view as were the communists with their anti-religion
constitution under the USSR. You can read the whole
controversy on the Ted Blog.
It is not that I am
not willing to hear the atheistic arguments/view of militant
atheists. Indeed, a number of the academics whose work that I
most admire, and incorporate into my own pedagogical
paradigms, are militant atheists. I have for example carefully
read a number of books
by
Pinker - Blank Slate, etc. photocopying the charts and
studying them with other people. I just don't want atheists
censoring my own paradigm. That they can is demonstrative as
to how the world has turned away from God.
Third:
The
issue is one of Justice. Another Ted show demonstrated an
experiment done with
monkeys
(with the requisite anti-God comment). There are numbers
of such experiments out there done with
monkeys
dogs, birds and so forth showing a sense of Justice. I
find this all very interesting because while I tie the present
human problem to a lack of sense of Justice in serving God and
one's fellow humans it is demonstrative of how little the
human sense is presently above the animal level.
My
concern is of course with those who call themselves
survivalists and preppers and my desire to turn them into
reconstructionists . I find very evident among
survivalists a feeling of injustice and their desire for it
for themselves - and sometimes for those associated with them
or some peer group with whom they identify. However, very
seldom do I find them identifying and being willing to
sacrifice for an ideal of universal justice for all humanity.
Because God is the God of all, this is where they fall short
and it is this change above what is even demonstrated by
animals that humanity must achieve. Otherwise it will
experience what we call "the Wrath of God".
There
is nothing that I am aware that I can say or do that is going
to change this situation, and it is for this reason that I am
very concerned about the future of humanity. I of course
continue to plug along "The Message", and observe
how things unfold.
For those who would like to
better understand what life will be like for the survivors of
Nuclear WW3
watch
this video about West Point. The situation will be worse
because there will be no UN troops or martial law to keep down
the marauders and there will be no outside supply of
food.
The problem is that this situation exists
today and the whole of humanity does nothing about it. Like
the monkeys we are only concerned about personal, or at best
local, justice.
Most of humanity is insane. Selfish
and insane. There is great anger and fear. I receive dozens of
emails and newsletters each day expressing those emotions.
They are emotions - and no amount of reason would have any
effect upon them. They understand neither the problems nor the
solutions.
Many of the communiques express great
anger about Obama, gun control, foreign troops in the US, the
desire to return to gold, concern that the US does not have a
powerful enough military, and dozens of other issues. The
proposed solutions are most often more weapons and forceful
response to those whom they see as their enemies.
A
great many who send these documents to me claim to be
dedicated Christians, yet they never ask or say what Jesus
would do. I seldom hear words proposing "love your
enemies", "bless those who persecute you", and
other terms reflecting the philosophy of Jesus. Their religion
is a religion about Jesus - rather than the religion of
Jesus.
Their proposals are a return to the past.
The Constitution of the Founding Fathers where where women and
blacks were not allowed to vote. A few minutes ago I received
an email about
H.R.
75 a proposal to get the US out of the UN. The writer
commented that every "rogue" (sic) nation like North
Korea that was not a member of the UN was considered by the UN
to be an enemy of the UN. Now - they wanted to get the US out
of the UN and the UN out of the US.
Iran complains
already that the US does not abide by the UN resolutions for
nuclear arms reduction - but many of those who write to me
disparage Obama for what he has tried to do in that area.
There are more than enough nuclear weapons to destroy the
world many times over but these writers want more. In that
they see security. Autonomous "rogue" nations with
no restraints (other than reasoned self-restraint) as to
nuclear weapon usage.
And what restraints are there
today on anything? Financial institutions or government
oppression? Bush called the US Constitution "just a piece
of paper" and the present incumbent, a Constitutional Law
specialist who edited a prominent Law Journal, has little to
say about how it works out for the 'common man'. My suggestion
that it is a system that is out moded, having been written at
a time when communication beyond the line of sight could take
place at a maximum of three and a half miles per hour, ninety
percent of the US population occupied a strip less than the
size of California, there were no airplanes, satellites, or
nuclear weapons and the most dangerous weapon was a ball of
iron less than a foot in diameter.
Advocates that
we return to the past give no thought that we live in
different times and that a different system is needed. But
perhaps there will be an opportunity for such thought after
the total collapse of society. Another
very
unusual document came to me today that proposes necessary
attitudes after a major catastrophy. I don't know who wrote it
but there needs to be much more discussion of this kind.
So,
far I have found it impossible to get people to read my book
"Society AFTER Doomsday" and to enter into dialogue
about what is needed for the reconstruction of society. The
time is simply not ripe. I don't know that there will ever
come a time when there is both the opportunity to read it and
the recognzied need.
Unfortunately, the need is
going to be inevitable. There is nothing that can be done
until after the total collapse - but one can prepare. People
continuously ask me about personal survival - and I provide
answers, in this newsletter, personal emails, and on our web
site, but that is not what this newsletter or I am all
about.
I do wish that you would all take the time
to meet
the
monkeys , and
General
Bucknaked , and to think about what happened to the Ted
video
The
Science Delusion . But most won't, and will continue down
the path of not knowing either the problem or the solution.
Even among those who are not avowed atheists, most people do
not know God, or what it means to love in Him, and because
most of humanity has turned away from God to either atheism,
indifference, or dogmatic religion - they will experience what
is really the wrath of their ownselves.
I realize
North Korea rumbles, that nothing came of the talks with Iran,
that Syria collapses, that the financial world is on edge in
Cyprus and Japan. That the situation between Pakistan and
India is unstable, and China and Russia are grappling with the
world hegemony of the US, but I have tried to devote this
issue of the newsletter to the real problems.
This week at Ark Two is
intense as always. Darlene has made great progress on the
Radio Software and Adam is due to arrive Friday to stay over
Saturday and perhaps into Sunday to finish assembling the four
prototype boards, two of which will then go to Dave for
debugging, evaluation and probably modification.
Also a lot of time keeping
track of the skyrocketing Dow, the glowing reports from the
Government about the economy, the confidence regarding
security being expressed by the people in South Korea, the
diminishing reports about Syria and Iran, and the calm that
prevails in Israel.
Peace and love,
