Tracking the Progress of the planned third World War
One of the many signs that we have lost control of our destiny is that Big Brother is watching everywhere we go. After all, the CIA was allowed to listen in on our telephone conversations without authority or penalty because of the alleged weapons of destruction they were monitoring. While there are situations such as this that we have no control over, we need to be aware of monitoring we may be subjecting ourselves to voluntarily.
Last year I wrote an entry about cloning and my disapproval of the process. Although popular opinion seems to be against cloning, apparently that doesn’t make a difference to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because the FDA has deemed that milk and meat derived from clones is as healthy as products derived the traditional way.
After being away for a couple of weeks, I enjoyed reading all the comments from readers about a variety of issues I’ve written about including immigration and veterans concerns. Today, in response to the latest reader commentary, I will follow up on a post a wrote in August entitled, “False Promises to Veterans and a Possible Draftâ€.I want to thank reader Jerry R. for providing a link with more information about the University of Illinois veteran scholarship scam and wisely stating, “How dumb can U of I be? Call veterans jarheads, change admissions deadlines for vets, recruit civilians to take their place, forge signatures on letters, lie to a Lt. Governor and US Congressman, and get exposed with their own internal documents and still continue to lie about it. Great lesson for all those students. In the real world, you go to jail for this.â€
Both internationally and personally, 2007 was a very difficult year. As we face the first day of 2008, I want to wish everyone a healthy new year filled with new realizations and experiences. While the world around us marches on to the beat of political powers who define our exterior boundaries, we still have the power to define ourselves. This power is the the only force that can prevent us from becoming caught up in the tragedies surrounding the next pending world war, which clearly seems inevitable.Bedridden for a couple of weeks with my own physical difficulties, I had an opportunity to review this past year and do a bit of reading myself. I was amazed by a story I read about the Rev. Hamilton Coe Throckmorton in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, who took a bold step to challenge his congregation and make them realize the power within themselves.
