CPT Twit - Democratic Debate Fallout - Democrats attack President Obama more than President Trump

As Democrats attack Obama, does he really have time to care?

Hope and Change Obama style.

The unfinished Obama agenda.

The Obamas joined Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, and Bruce Springsteen as guests on the boat. Last summer, Geffen documented all of his celebrity friends who stayed on the yacht. Leonardo DiCaprio was aboard.

My people.

The People' President.

Racism, Discrimination, Inequality, Judgment, or Bias - the Causes, Conditions, or Results of Something Worse?

As the presidential election campaign heats up, racism seems to be interjected over and over again.  The result of rampant polarization, it is a term being manipulated and misused by the news media and political pundits.  To brand someone a racist while failing to apply due process to the claim is an act ignorance of the law itself. 

When it comes to judging racism in America, when did MSNBC and CNN become the custodians and enforcers of racial equality in America?  For a couple of news services who operate under FCC licenses from the government you would think they have assumed the role of the Justice Department and the Courts along with prosecutor and jury.

The cable news media in America has become the Kangaroo Court of First resort for select groups of citizens though it has no Constitutional basis for such actions, it is not part of their FCC license, and there is no liability for the volumes of lies they may broadcast in order to control or manufacture news.

The phrase "rush to judgment" means ignoring the judicial process and the Constitutional safeguards inherent in our system of justice.  Our Constitution requires such a process to protect people from the abuses of unregulated justice.  It also directs that a person is innocent until proven guilty by the judicial system.

We all know our judicial system is filled with legalese doubletalk and gobble de gook in order to intimidate the public, provide jobs to our law school grads, and overload the circuits of our news media.  In this way the innocent can be convicted, the guilty can be protected, and the lawyers can join the country club.

When you add to this already rather dismal system the mouthpieces and talking heads for every non-profit (most certainly including preachers and churches) dedicated to protecting the social interests of our citizens from the predator practices of our legal institutions (law enforcement),  manipulation by our financial institutions, and discrimination by everyone else, you have a recipe for sure failure.

So, we now have our politicians, preachers, prosecutors, and press, the latter the procrastinators and perpetrators of the news media whose very jobs, ratings, and profits depend on perpetuating pipe dreams on the public.  How many special interests does it take to protect the public interest?

Excuse me, does anyone besides me see a problem here?  Polls show people do not trust these groups.  Polls show people trust anyone but these groups to accomplish anything.  So, why are the people dependent on these same groups to protect them, advise them, or speak on their behalf?

Too many of these people operate under the old theory that if you don't like or can't stand the truth, then change it.  That ancient philosophy is what has kept civilization from getting beyond the Neanderthal age all these millennia.  Sometimes it seems we have more in common with such barbarian behavior than with what one might expect from the evolution of civilization.

In short, people are fed a steady stream of lies, distortion, or misinformation to keep us apart, distrustful of different races, hateful of other religions, suspicious of motives and to convince us anyone of any other color is out to take what you got.

So, here are a few truths that may help you penetrate the fog.  First about grand juries, everyone has an opinion about them but few speak the truth.  Here is part of what New York state law says about the grand jury process.

New York State

GRAND JUROR’S HANDBOOK

THE ROLE OF THE GRAND JURY IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM

The grand jury is an arm of the court. It is not an agent of the prosecutor or the police. A grand jury does not decide whether or not a person has been proven guilty. That is the trial jury's job. The grand jury decides whether or not a person should be formally charged with a crime or other offense. The grand jury makes that decision based on evidence presented to it by the prosecutor, who also instructs the grand jury on the law. The grand jury's decision must be based on the evidence and on the law.

In general, the grand jury makes one of three decisions:

A. The grand jury may vote to formally accuse someone of a crime. This accusation is called an “indictment,” also known as a “bill” which is short for “bill of indictment.”

B. The grand jury may vote to dismiss the charges, also known as a “no-bill.”

C. The grand jury may direct the prosecutor to file an information accusing the person of an offense less serious than a felony.

There are also rare circumstances where a grand jury recommends that a case should be sent to Family Court or where the grand jury makes a report to the court.

WHY WE HAVE GRAND JURIES

The use of trial juries (also called petit juries) and grand juries goes back approximately 800 years. Beginning around 1215 A.D., both types of juries were used in England. The grand jury made the formal accusation, known as a “bill of indictment” or “presentment.” The trial jury decided whether the accusation was proven.

The grand jury is included in the United States Constitution and the New York State Constitution. In New York State, a person cannot be brought to trial for a felony unless that person has been indicted by a grand jury.

The grand jury has an awesome responsibility. It uses its power both as a sword and as a shield: a sword to accuse or indict those whom there is reason to believe have committed crimes; a shield to protect the innocent against unfounded accusations.

                      

Hum, a grand jury does not decide if a person is guilty or innocent.  A grand jury can be a sword or a shield to accuse or indict or to protect the innocent.  Don't hear many media or "experts" saying this, they just want a conviction which no grand jury can provide.

Personally, I think these tragic events taking place are not rampant racism smoldering below the surface of society but are more symptomatic of the unequal economic opportunity plaguing our nation.  First, why are cops involved in these incidents?  Are they are trying to stop criminal activity or are they enforcing stupid laws of the government.

Take the tragic case of Eric Garner in New York City.    In New York, the city and state wanted more tax revenue, so 60% of the cost of cigarettes is now taxes.  Imagine what would happen if you paid 60% of your income to corrupt governments.

Well the cigarette tax is like the gas tax, it does not care what your skin color may be or how much money you may have, it is the epitome of equality, the poor and the super rich pay exactly the same tax, even if the poor have no money, no jobs and no hope.

Therefore, unscrupulous people buy cigarettes out of state where governmental greed is not prevalent and bring them to the poor parts of town to sell them on the streets without the onerous taxes but for a fee.  Of course, the rich just send their jets to a country where there are no taxes on cigarettes to feed their addiction.

When the city needs more money to fund corruption they go after the citizens cheating on taxes and for the cost of lost cigarette tax a dead body lies on the ground.  Why did the government order the police to enforce tax collection?  Isn't that the job of tax collectors?

As for Ferguson, Missouri, where Michael Brown was killed, the entire city is trapped in economic despair, like so many parts of so many cities around the nation.  Abraham Lincoln once said all people were not equal, but all people must have equal opportunity.  They still don't.

However, unequal opportunity is not just a racial issue.  There are poor whites just like there are poor every other race.  Where poverty breeds there is attendant crime.  Those trapped in poverty are also trapped in an endless circle of crime which leads to hopelessness, which leads to envy, and then to revenge against those who have what the poor person does not have.

The effort to break the cycle of poverty has been one of very slow progress, dependent on many uncontrollable forces like the world economy, honesty in government officials, etc., etc.  The victims and the perpetrators of crimes are generally from the same race no matter what the professional mouthpieces tell you.

Contrary to what some of the mouthpieces have been saying to the media, the jails are not just filled with kids busted for petty possession of marijuana.  Many violent criminals are incarcerated, for victimizing their own people.

When our leaders get past pointing fingers and making judgment on people, and police are people too, then maybe we can get to the serious problem of creating economic opportunity, meaningful economic opportunity, and get on with solving our real problem of poverty for all races and genders.  Poverty, the underlying cause of economic inequality that results from lack of economic opportunity.

The Melchizedek Chronicles – “Father forgive them, they know not what they do!”

The environmental management of Earth is driven by Divine Law and Natural law, not Man’s law!

Like it or not, public policy in America is a hostage to politics.  When you acknowledge that political partisanship has effectively stymied any hope for bi-partisanship, for consensus building, or compromise, it is no wonder the American political system is broken as are all initiatives and institutions, good or bad, who are dependent on our political system.

The protection of the planet Earth, and the quality of life for the inhabitants of the Earth, must be free of the political bickering and free of the political turmoil of polarization that dominates the cultural, health care and economic security issues battled out in Congress.

For example, responsible environmental management must be approached as an essential priority to our survival and not get caught up in partisan politics of the moment.  Today, the cause of climate change and management is caught up in the partisan polarization of politics.  That is wrong and it will fail.

Melchizedek says climate change is a mechanism of Earth management.  When it is dominated by man, it is more appropriately a mechanism of mismanagement.  In truth, climate change is a divinely inspired natural process of the evolution of the Earth and purification of the planet.

Consider that scientists have recorded five significant Ice Ages throughout the Earth’s history: the Huronian (2.4 - 2.1 billion years ago), Cryogenian (850 - 635 million years ago), Andean-Saharan (460 - 430 million years ago), Karoo (360 - 260 million years ago) and Quaternary (2.6 million years ago - present).

      

Each Ice Age was preceded by global warming in response to natural issues faced by our Earth.  There is no evidence mankind was even on the Earth when they happened, and surely not in a way that could influence the survival of earth. So, there is scientific proof of five previous Ice Age cycles of global warming or climate change and no mankind to blame it on.

The Hopi native Americans call these the cycles of civilization and each time the Earth had to go through a process of purification in order to continue its mission in God’s plan.  Melchizedek calls it the Human Life Cycles on Earth, times in our long forgotten past when humans used their free will in a way that ignored the Creator’s will, thus violating our purpose for being.

Melchizedek says six times we violated our mission and we are now well into the seventh and final Human Life Cycle in the Creator’s Plan.  In each previous Human Life Cycle, we failed to embrace our true relationship with the Creator and allowed the abuse of Mother Earth.

In order to protect the Earth, the purification cycle was instituted consisting of the combination of divine and natural laws resulting in reducing the number of souls occupying the earth to the point they could no longer influence the natural function of the Earth.  This was achieved through meteor strikes, droughts, floods, polar warming, comets, perhaps even radiation accidents in past lifetimes.

The impact on humans, it was just like starting over.

Make no mistake, without a healthy and vibrant Earth we would not exist.  It is our home.  We are the custodians of the Earth.  Yet the protection of Mother Earth cannot be left to just humans.  Earth is essential to all of Creation as well thus falling under the protection of Natural and Divine Law as well.

Melchizedek says everything in Creation plays an essential role, and everything in Creation is inter-connected to everything else in Creation.  If we do not recognize and honor this integrated co-existence and accept our responsibility as co-creators, we disrupt the balance and threaten the very existence of all of Creation.

With or without humans Earth must go through the purification cycles of heating, then cooling, in order to preserve the integrity of our planet.  Of course, humans can contribute to the problem of global warming by our technology, policies and bad habits.  This can intensify the speed of climate change but the purification function will take place, with or without the cooperation of humans.

Our Earth is protected by the purification process which consists of natural and divine law combining to preserve the integrity of the planet and the ability of the Earth, just one of the many tremendous miracles in our lives, to continue to regenerate, purify and renew our home.

The real question we should ask is what is our contribution to making the environmental management of the Earth more difficult.  Here we again fall short.  We blame it on the opposing political party, the carbon emissions from cars and trucks, toxic fumes from fossil fuel generating plants, but we never take responsibility for the greatest sins against Earth by man, the poisoning of the Earth with over 2,000 nuclear bombs that were tested, 1,500 below ground and 500 in the air in just the past 75 years.

In spite of our ignorance, stupidity, lack of respect for God’s plan and refusal to take responsibility for the massive radiation poisoning of Mother Earth, God still loves us and will never give up on us.  That is why Melchizedek says fear not, the Earth will take care of itself, with or without ourselves, and it is a very good thing she can.  Our record as custodian of the Earth is rather dismal.

Chernobyl disaster

Our science tries to disengage the connection between God and the protection of Earth.  It cannot be done.  Our politicians and news media view it as a political hot button issue, and that throws it to the politicians whose own survival comes before the survival of Mother Earth.  That is wrong.

Fukushima disaster

Yet it is understandable, according to Melchizedek, because “we the people,” after all these billions of years on Earth, have forgotten and lost our connection to the Creator.  In fact, there are those walking among us so inspired by the dark forces they are obsessed with pushing all things God farther and farther out of our everyday life and consciousness.

Yet we cannot blame them, or judge them, or we become them.

Nor can we ignore our spiritual compass gnawing at our conscious whispering in our ears the words, what did Jesus say in his hour of greatest physical pain and suffering, while he was dying on the cross?

“Father forgive them, they know not what they do!”

Forgive them? Just as he was about to take His last breath because of them?  Really?  No finger pointing, accusations, condemnations or anger toward his murderers!

Jesus knew in order for Him to fulfill his Sacred Covenant with his Father Creator, to demonstrate the power of the love of the Father in creating all of us, then Jesus must die.  Ancient and sacred prophecy demanded it as the price for salvation for all of humanity.

Through his own free will he accepted his destiny.  You know what, that act by Jesus was the mirror image of the Father’s will.  For you, for all of us the only way we can become one again with the Creator, which is our true destiny, is when our free will of expression reflects the Creator’s will.  By achieving this Jesus was able to resurrect from the dead and ascend to the right hand of the Father in the Kingdom of Heaven, thus showing us the path to eternal salvation.

So, as we stand here today, with fear, hatred and animosity swirling all around us, we surely must know this is not how God wants us to be.  The Luciferic force of evil had an advantage over us because they were thrown to the Earth by Michael in the spiritual war of the heavens long before humans were sent to the Earth.  Those dark forces expect to be standing last as well.

We would do well not to underestimate evil, nor the power of evil to compromise our minds and possess our souls.  When that happens, our free will is gone.  Without free will we can never be in harmony with the will of the Father.

Just as Jesus resurrected from the dead and was ascended into Heaven so must we.  It is God’s final gift to us, through his Son Jesus, to provide a pathway to Oneness in the eternal love of the Creator.

Jesus showed us the path to grace in life and the gateway to salvation in Heaven as we transcend from our physical to spiritual home.  We all have a role to play.  Deep down inside you must know our world is in need of purification.  There is much we can do to help bring it about.  Many are called but few are chosen, unless we change destiny so all are called.  In time, we must.
