Twelve Old White Men on the Senate Judiciary Committee – The Enemy of the Resistance

Are old White men really incapable of knowing what is best for the people of America, all the people of America?

How about those who condemn old White men in the US Senate for lack of judgement, perhaps they should get their facts right before they start spewing reckless charges.

Okay, so their hatred may cloud their flamboyant charges, does that mean truth is obsolete to the far left?

Resistance

Enemy

Anti-Trump forces and mischievous Democrats intent on running for president or ignoring the Constitution have coined the negative phrase of the “twelve old White men” voting on the current Supreme Court Justice nomination.

Resistance

Enemy

They use it as if older, White, male members of the Senate are incapable of making decisions for anyone except, old White men one must presume.

Resistance

It is a clever ruse and used constantly by Move On and many other special interest groups within the fringe of what used to be the Democratic party.  Some consider themselves progressives, others socialists, others anarchists and all seem to be members of the resistance, which translates to anti-Trump resistance.

So, what about their claim “old White men” are not qualified to decide the future of the nation?  Well this is not the first time old White men have been required to determine the future of the nation and how did they fare in the past?

July 4, 1776 - Old White men approved the Declaration of Independence.

April 8, 1864 - Old White men in Senate pass the 13^th Amendment abolishing slavery

February 16, 1869 – Old White men in Senate passed 15^th Amendment prohibiting the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude"

I do not know about you, but it seems to me that time after time in our nation’s history “Old White men” in the Senate have stepped forward to correct serious injustices and inequalities.  People seem to be ignoring history when they condemn old White men and they seem to be contributing to the rabid polarization of society through their reckless hatred.

In spite of the media support of the resistance, those millions that support such idealism still are a very small fringe of the voting public.  As more people seek truth the number of supporters of such resistance are alienating the substantial number of men and women in America who do not believe those old White men are the enemy, but the protectors and defenders of equal rights and opportunity for all.

Sadly, a lot of very worthwhile causes for women and many other issues have been seduced by the resistance and hijacked by them.  In time they will find their own worthy causes lost in the hatred, polarity, and fantasy world of the resistance.  You see, good ideas respect all others, they do not trade in hatred and polarity.

Thanks to those old White men, the resistance of today can now stand before the cameras and resist to their heart's content.

There are also quite a few White men, and women, along with fellow Americans of every race, who never grew to be old because they gave their lives to defend the right of others to freedom and free speech.

 

So, who are the many tentacles of the “resistance” movement intent on compromising our Constitution and polarizing our people, well they come in many sizes and shapes.

Where is the Truth? The news media explains-away the New Mexico Observatory mystery for the FBI and government.

It is beginning to seem more like a Roswell Denial Whopper than Truth

So, here is the final word from the government on the evacuation of the New Mexico observatory.  Seems a janitor was using a laptop and government wifi to traffic porn materials.  The explanation as reported by Reuters says it was a child pornography investigation, according to Federal Bureau of Investigation documents.

According to another story in the Albuquerque Journal, a laptop at the facility was seized without the knowledge of the suspect — a janitor.  The evacuation came after that person became increasingly agitated, prompting concerns about the safety of staff at the observatory, the publication reports.

In the Reuters story, a copy which follows, they claim a laptop was removed without the knowledge of the janitor, and then observatory officials were concerned that he might be a danger so they ordered the evacuation.  They also say he was suspected of using the Observatory wifi to traffic the child pornography.

In the Reuters story they report;

 "But the mystery of the Sunspot Observatory closure proved far less complicated. It was finally explained in newly unsealed FBI records, including a 39-page application for a warrant to search the suspect’s residence.

Other interesting items mentioned in the story include;

An agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation wrote in the affidavit that she was “investigating the activities of an individual who was utilizing the wireless internet service of the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, to download and distribute child pornography.”

The FBI affidavit identified the suspect as a janitor under contract to clean the facility, whose laptop was found to have been used to connect to the observatory’s wireless system.

According to the affidavit, observatory officials made the decision to close and evacuate the site out of concern that the suspect might pose a danger to other personnel. "

The person has not been arrested or charged, and no arrest warrant has been issued, according to the FBI.

The warrant issued by a U.S. magistrate in Las Cruces, New Mexico, showed that on Sept. 14 agents removed from the man’s home three cell phones, five laptops, one iPad, an external hard drive, 16 thumb drives, 89 compact flash disks and other material.

Here are some concerns about the explanation that suggest this just might be a modern-day tall tale of the magnitude of a Roswell deception, one that has endured for seventy-one years.

First, if the laptop was removed without the knowledge of the janitor, why would he be agitated and acting unusual as reported in various media stories.

If he was agitated and running around in the woods why was this the only facility evacuated and not another just a half a mile away?

According to the affidavit, “officials at the observatory” made the decision to order the evacuation.  If the FBI secured the affidavit why are observatory officials, who seem to be private contractors, closing the facility and why was it closed for twelve days without public comment?

Also, according to the affidavit, a warrant was issued and a number of computer related items including laptops, cell phones, iPad, external and thumb drives and 89 compact flash disks, etc., were removed on September 14 from his home.  The evacuation of the observatory and FBI takeover of the facility took place September 6, twelve days before the affidavit-related warrant actions on September 14.  What authority was cited to evacuate and seal it in the first place?

If all of what the reports say are true, the janitor posed a great enough threat to life and property to close a government facility for twelve days, then why has the janitor not been arrested or charged with anything and why is he not being held in jail?

This is one of the more interesting cover ups, if that is what it is, to explain away something very mysterious that happened at that observatory.  However, as my questions and concerns note, there are many conflicts, questions raised, and reasons to suspect something far more important than a disgruntled porn-driven janitor caused all the actions.  If that were true it would be one of the greatest overreactions in history by the FBI since no charges have been filed, no arrest warrant secured, and the predator remains free.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 / 8:30 PM / UPDATED 15 HOURS AGO

New Mexico observatory closure stemmed from FBI child porn probe: documents

Steve Gorman

         

         

(Reuters) - The mysterious 11-day closure of a New Mexico solar observatory stemmed from an FBI investigation of a janitor suspected of using the facility’s wireless internet service to send and receive child pornography, federal court documents showed on Wednesday.

The National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, was evacuated without public explanation on Sept. 6, leading to a swirl of social media speculation and rumors driven by its proximity to two U.S. military installations and the town of Roswell.

Approximately two hours away from the observatory by car, Roswell was the site of a famous 1947 sighting of unidentified flying objects that the U.S. Air Force later said were top-secret high-altitude weather balloons.

UFO conspiracy lore has it that a flying saucer crashed near Roswell, and that remains of the craft and alien crew were clandestinely removed from the crash site by the government and taken to a top-secret test site in Nevada for examination.

But the mystery of the Sunspot Observatory closure proved far less complicated. It was finally explained in newly unsealed FBI records, including a 39-page application for a warrant to search the suspect’s residence.

An agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation wrote in the affidavit that she was “investigating the activities of an individual who was utilizing the wireless internet service of the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, to download and distribute child pornography.”

The FBI affidavit identified the suspect as a janitor under contract to clean the facility, whose laptop was found to have been used to connect to the observatory’s wireless system.

According to the affidavit, observatory officials made the decision to close and evacuate the site out of concern that the suspect might pose a danger to other personnel.

The observatory was reopened on Monday.

The person has not been arrested or charged, and no arrest warrant has been issued, according to the FBI.

Frank Fisher, a spokesman for the FBI field office in Albuquerque, told Reuters that the case was still under investigation.

The warrant issued by a U.S. magistrate in Las Cruces, New Mexico, showed that on Sept. 14 agents removed from the man’s home three cell phones, five laptops, one iPad, an external hard drive, 16 thumb drives, 89 compact flash disks and other material.

Conversations with Melchizedek - Bulletin September 6, 2018 Solar Observatory Mysteriously Evacuated in New Mexico

A Strange Coincidence or Battle between Good and Evil

FBI Blackhawk Helicopters swoop out of the sky and take over the Sunspot Solar Observatory at Sacramento Peak, New Mexico evacuating all staff and residents from this remote mountain observatory just 76 miles from Roswell, New Mexico, location of the 1947 UFO incident and cover-up.

According to officials at various observatories, such FBI intervention has never happened before.  After twelve-days of total information blackout and no one allowed to the site, it was reopened.

Officials said it was abruptly closed because of security concerns regarding a criminal search near the mountaintop.  Hardly seems like a twelve-day lockdown and news blackout should result.

 

In fact, the adjacent Apache Point Observatory, a collection of telescopes about half a mile away, continued to operate as normal, even as the Sunspot facility remained closed.

When Roswell happened in 1947 the official government news release proclaimed the Air Force had captured a “flying saucer,” but less than twenty-four hours later the reports were revised to say a weather balloon had crashed.

Russia

Cover-ups, denials, and misdirection are common with the government because any confirmation of UFOs might cause a national panic and threaten national security.

The same cannot be said of Russia where the Soviet military and KGB long believed in UFOs and made public many photos.  When I went to Moscow in 1997 then discovered and gained access to a secret archive of Stalin in the frontier outside Moscow, I saw for myself the evidence behind the UFO position of the USSR.

Russia

Hundreds of photos and sightings by everyone from civilians to military pilots to even a military camera team documented the existence, showed the crash sites, and even filmed a UFO over a Siberian missile base where it remained for nearly forty minutes before 

disappearing into the sky after triggering a missile launch.

Russia

Cover ups can be clumsy affairs.

Curious about this latest incident, Melchizedek gave me a detailed description of what actually happened.  First, he reminded me how the US military has been attempting to contact aliens via radio, then telescopes, since the 1920s.  As technology evolved hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on government equipment used to attempt to find life off of Earth.

To date the search has been unsuccessful, at least as far as we know.

Melchizedek noted the unusual aspects of the New Mexico closing including FBI involvement, a total lockdown that seemed half-heartedly enforced, and the fact no one knew anything about why?  He indicated twelve days is a long time for a news blackout to be maintained in modern America.

As for what happened?

Suddenly, on September 6, a transmission was received from beyond Earth, a message that arrived from the Orion constellation.  Before the message could be decoded authorities ordered the observatory and Post Office beside it evacuated and a lock down on the facility and area.

Thus, helicopters from the FBI swooped onto the mountaintop to secure the facility and make certain no one was aware of the message.  It was then decoded by experts.  It was sent in the form of words and images from the Arcturian race, one working with Jesus to help the Earth.

The message acknowledged that many alien races were being attracted to Earth, most intending to help Earth and the people through the many difficulties we now face.  Others are coming to repair the damage to Mother Earth we have done over the years.

Yet the message of hope also brought a warning from the Arcturians that not all species of aliens being drawn to Earth have good intentions.  Just like on Earth, there are those of the light and those of the darkness in all Alien races from all planets and galaxies.

We must welcome those helpers and resist the Dark Ones if we are to survive.  Strength to fight this Spiritual Warfare cannot come from weapons and technology, but must come from the collective consciousness of all humanity, working in unison to defeat the Dark Ones.

 

Make no mistake, the Dark Ones have been here throughout time empowered by our fear and emboldened by our polarity.  Along the way many Souls were lost to the Dark Ones as fear, depression, slavery, and a wanton lust for power flourished.

The Dark Ones work to contaminate the Souls of Light beings, especially those in important positions who can influence others, throughout the world.  They work in concert with fallen Souls to destroy good Souls and they stand in the way of us fulfilling the Will of the Father.

What makes them so dangerous?  Enlightened humans follow the path of Jesus for fulfilling the Will of the Father.  Once we are on the path the Holy Spirit can then awaken us to true Faith necessary to live the Will of the Father.

As mankind spiritually evolves more Souls are brought into enlightenment and the brilliance of Faith will expose the Dark Side to the Light and Love of God’s Will.  When that happens the power of the Father through our Faith will begin the process of deconstructing the Dark Ones.

Why not defeat them?  Because they are not part of God’s Creation but the result of people using free will to embrace the promises of power, wealth, instant gratification, and enslavement of Souls to the Dark Side.

In truth, the Dark Ones or Shadow Dwellers are no longer a person, creature, demon or devil.  There is no place in God’s Creation for evil.  Enlightenment must deconstruct the evil and return it to its original state, a state of non-existent nothingness.

By drawing Dark Aliens to Earth to help evil maintain control over people and steal souls, those contaminated ones will expose their true purpose, the destruction of Creation.  We must expose them to the brilliance of Enlightenment through Faith and Love, so they can be returned to the nothingness from which they came.

Evil has no standing in the Father’s Kingdom.

That is the context of the alien communication received in the New Mexico observatory.  That is the result of the decades of reaching out to the heavens by humans.

Dark Ones do not want the humans forewarned of their arrival.  They want us to believe that all aliens being attracted to Earth are coming to help, not destroy us.  Public exposure of the warning will stop the Dark Side from infiltrating the Earth to join the Shadow Dwellers already in place, and stop them from helping the forces of evil destroy all of Creation.

They are particularly dangerous, you see, because they have everything to gain, power, dominance, slavery, and wealth on Earth, and nothing to lose because they are not creations of the Creator, they are nothing and can only be deconstructed to nothingness once again.

The time has come for all Souls to take sides.  Join the Seekers seeking Truth and living Enlightenment or the Dark Forces seeking the destruction of creation.  There can be no watching from the sidelines.

The Souls of Humanity, not governments, not cultures, not races, not religions and not institutions, but all the Souls who are Creations of Father Creator must become One in their Faith in God, their Love for one another, their Enlightenment to the Path of Jesus, and their Empowerment from the Holy Spirit, to reclaim their rightful place with Our Father in His Kingdom.

Freedom is not just “another word for nothing left to lose,” as the song goes, but for everything left to gain, in our time on this Earth and thereafter.  Faith and Love are the weapons of war and the foundation for peace we seek, and we will win.

You will be called to take sides.  Your choice, be a Seeker of Truth and Enlightenment, or a destroyer of salvation.  We are all in this together.

Amen
