Think the U.S. promotes Democracy? Think Again

The United States only supports Democracy when it benefits
U.S. Corporate interests. If a Democratically elected leader want's
to help his people instead of the Multinational Corporations,
we take them out, with Economic Hit-men or actual Hit-men.
We will take a Corporate friendly Dictator
over a people friendly Government...every time. History is a bitch.

    Stephen Kinzer has written two great books on this exact subject. One is All The Shah's Men, specifically about Iran, and the other is Overthrow, which is a more in depth history from Hawaii, (yes, Hawaii) to Iraq. Great video, btw.

    And, most people don't realize the depths at which the U.S. will stoop to promote "Democracy". Sad.

Born Again!

O.K. This will blow most everyone's mind. I am a born again Christian. Much of what I have been doing here was all a precursor to my accepting Jesus Christ as my personal savior. I am a recovering..Pot Head. I am approximately 30 days clean and sober. After 32 years of denial, agnosticism and reading so-so many books except the one that really matters, I have turned my life over to Christ. Giving up reefer was easy. Cutting loose 30 year friendships that are bad for me (Including my Mother and Sister) was and is extremely difficult. My new family and friends are at my community church which I will not name till I have permission. This is not something I do lightly. Ironically or perhaps divinely, I was baptised yesterday in of all places the Cape Coral Yacht Club pool. Ironic because this is where I used to take my cassette case full of nicely rolled joints to "Find the party" Peace out and God Bless. Ray

Should all churches be tax exempt?

Despite the name of this blog, I am by no means a bible scholar or theologian. Is Mormonism is a form Christianity and a valid religion? Some would say that all religions are cults. Most evangelicals do not acknowledge the Church of  Latter Day Saints, as they do Judaism or other forms of Christianity. Mormonism seems to me a relatively new schism designed to obscure the finances of a secret society. (You may argue they all are) It has little to do with scripture and the teachings of  Jesus.  The huge churches IMO are an offense to God. Churches should be humble; acquiring  real estate and wealth is  antithetical to Jesus's teachings. The church of LDS holdings are incalculable. It's disgusting.   Churches in our country are tax exempt, but I don't think the church of LDS deserves that exemption. Most churches don't, they are businesses, and should be taxed as such.   Jesus would certainly rebuke todays churches: Luke 18:23 (N.I.V.) "...

Homelessness

The Buzzcocks  - I need It has been a long time since I last posted, Febuary in fact. Things are not going as I had hoped they would. I am currently homeless . It is not what you think. I have met many homeless Veterans. If you saw a pic of any of the people I have met you would never know they were homeless. They are the most positive people I have ever met. Many are suffering from alcohol and other addictions problems. I am not. I have been clean for five years. I need a job.   (Are you listening Mr. President???)  I wish someone (besides me) would write a article about all the formerly middle class Americans that are now homeless as a result of our dying economy. The "experts" are saying the economy is growing again because banks are lending. They have bad data. They are unaware of how many people are living off the grid.  For the first few days at the Triage low demand homeless shelter I slept on a cot. I had access to bad fo...
