The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Don't Tread On Ohio
My fellow Ohioans I received the following from Mike Wilson.
Dear Fellow Citizens and Taxpayers,
I have fantastic news to share. The same sovereignty resolution I mentioned in this morning's email passed the Ohio Senate today by a vote of 19-12!

The fight will now move to the Ohio House which we expect to be more difficult. Until then, we need to share our appreciation with those who voted in favor of the resolution, and we need to demand an answer from those who voted against reaffirming the words of our Constitution.
Sincerely,

While the ongoing fight against an expanded government role in health care continues, a significant win happened last week in our own back yard! Most should be familiar with our position that the balance of power between the federal government and state and local government is out of whack. Per the 10th amendment to the Constitution, all powers not explicitly given to the federal government are left to the states, or to the people. The reason is that state and local governments are closer and thereby more responsive and accountable to the ultimate source of power - the free people of the United States.
Many states have passed resolutions affirming their sovereignty under the 10th amendment as a first step in restoring that balance of power. Some of those have taken additional steps that include refusal of federal funds and all the strings attached to it, and even applying a principle called nullification to certain federal laws that apply wholly within a state (thereby not subject to federal regulation under the interstate commerce clause).
Ohio took a small step forward on Wednesday when S.C.R. 13 was reported from the Senate State and Local Government and Veterans Affairs Committee to the full Senate. That this finally passed out of committee is a tribute to our work here in Cincinnati and across Ohio. Collectively, we were able to accumulate over 10,000 signatures (along with many more phone calls, emails, and letters) in favor of the resolution.
Our next action is to force hearings and a vote in the full Ohio Senate on the resolution before we turn our attention to the Ohio House. Senate President Bill Harris controls the agenda and is the person we need to contact. If you live in the state of Ohio, please take the time to make a quick phone call or email. All you have to do is tell them that you think SCR 13 is important for Ohio and that it deserves a vote in the full Senate.
Senate President Bill Harris

Thanks for your attention on this. We have the ability to force a vote on this as long as each take just a few minutes to make a phone call. I can't think of anything more effective at shrinking the size of the federal government than states asserting their proper role in our republic.
I have more to share with everyone later this week including some updates on the healthcare debate, ACORN, and a few of the other issues of the day. Look for another email newsletter in the next few days
God Bless SGT Jermaine Nelson, SGT Jose Nazario, SGT Ryan Weemer And Bill McNulty USMC
I have a special place in my heart for Marines because they defended me and others at Abu Ghraib when Zarqawi attacked the prison in 2005.
I am proud to call Bill McNulty my friend because he would not let SGT Jermaine Nelson's get railroaded by authorities. Bill and these three Marines truly exemplify the U.S. Marine motto Semper Fi!

Islam
In the pictures above Grand Mufti Husayni gives the Nazi salute and meets with Adolf Hitler. Husayni was Yasser Arafat's uncle. Husayni was indicted war criminal who escaped from allied custody.
On 11 September 1683 the Ottoman Turks attacked Vienna, Austria, a battle that was labeled "The Battle at the gates of Vienna. The Muslim push into central Europe was repulsed and the tide of Islam was stemmed. The attack on 11 September 2001 was a revenge for the battle the Muslims lost in 1683.
Muhammad launched the first crusade against the pagan, Jewish and Christians living on the Arabian peninsula. This crusade was later expanded to North Africa, Spain, the middle East, Andalusia, central Asia, Greece, Macedonia and southern Europe. The Muslims gained their wealth by plundering conquering regions and enslaving the conquered inhabitants.
Consider this - what do Sudan, Nigeria, Indonesia, Philippines, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Cyprus, the former Yugoslavia, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, and India all have in common? all these nations contain Muslims who cannot get along with their neighbors. I do not believe it is possible for Muslims to live in peace with what they consider are non-believers. They divide the world in two. There is the House of Islam and the house of war (Dar el Harb) If one is not a member of the House of Islam than one is at war with Islam. Islam is not an inclusive religion it is exclusive.
Most Americans probably think the Islamic terrorists declared war on the United States Sept. 11, 2001. Actually, it started a long time before – right from the birth of the nation.
When George Washington was serving as president in 1784, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were commissioned by the first Congress to assemble in Paris to see about marketing
U.S. products in Europe. Jefferson quickly surmised that the biggest challenge facing U.S. merchant ships were those referred to euphemistically as "Barbary pirates." They weren't "pirates" at all, in the traditional sense, Jefferson noticed. They didn't drink and chase women and they really weren't out to strike it rich. Instead, their motivation was strictly religious. They bought and sold slaves, to be sure. They looted ships. But they used their booty to buy guns, ships, cannon and ammunition. Like those we call "terrorists" today, they saw themselves engaged in jihad and called themselves "mujaheddin."
Why did these 18th-century terrorists represent such a grave threat to U.S. merchant ships? With independence from Great Britain, the former colonists lost the protection of the greatest navy in the world. The U.S. had no navy – not a single warship. Jefferson inquired of his European hosts how they dealt with the problem. He was stunned to find out that France and England both paid tribute to the fiends – who would, in turn, use the money to expand their own armada, buy more weaponry, hijack more commercial ships, enslave more innocent civilians and demand greater ransom.
In 1786, Thomas Jefferson, then the American ambassador to France, and John Adams, then the American ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the "Dey of Algiers" ambassador to Britain. The Americans wanted to negotiate a peace treaty (which they did) based on Congress' vote to appease the "Barbary Pirates" (Jefferson wanted retribution – which he achieved when he became the Third President of The United States by sending in the MARINES, from which we now have "From the halls of Montezuma TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI") .
During the meeting Jefferson and Adams asked the Dey's ambassador why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.
From AMERICAN SPHINX The Character of Thomas Jefferson by Joseph J. Ellis
"Several Muslim countries along the North African coast had established the
tradition of plundering the ships of European and American merchants in the western Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic, capturing the crews and then demanding ransom from the respective governments for their release. In a joint message to their superiors in Congress, Adams and Jefferson described the audacity of these terrorist attacks, pirates leaping onto defenseless ships with daggers clenched in their teeth. They had asked the ambassador from Tripoli, Adams and Jefferson explained, on what grounds these outrageous acts of unbridled savagery could be justified: "The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the laws of the prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners...."…"… and that every Muslim who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."
Jefferson's and Adam's report to congress can BE READ IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD – FIND IT AND READ IT!
This didn't make sense to Jefferson. He recognized the purchase of peace from the Muslims only worked temporarily. They would always find an excuse to break an agreement, blame the Europeans and demand higher tribute.
After three months researching the history of militant Islam, he came up with a very different policy to deal with the terrorists. But he didn't get to implement until years later.
As the first secretary of state, Jefferson urged the building of a navy to rescue American hostages held in North Africa and to deter future attacks on U.S. ships. In 1792, he commissioned John Paul Jones to go to Algiers under the guise of diplomatic negotiations, but with the real intent of sizing up a future target of a naval attack.
Jefferson was ready to retire a year later when what could only be described as "America's first Sept. 11" happened.
America was struck with its first mega-terror attack by hirabists. In the fall of 1793, the Algerians seized 11 U.S. merchant ships and enslaved more than 100 Americans.
When word of the attack reached New York, the stock market crashed. Voyages were canceled in every major port. Seamen were thrown out of work. Ship suppliers went out of business. What Sept. 11 did to the U.S. economy in 2001, the mass ship jacking of 1793 did to the fledgling U.S. economy in that year.
Accordingly, it took the U.S. Congress only four months to decide to build a fleet of warships.
But even then, Congress didn't choose war, as Jefferson prescribed. Instead, while building what would become the U.S. Navy, Congress sent diplomats to reason with the Algerians. The U.S. ended up paying close to $1 million and giving the pasha of Algiers a new warship, "The Crescent," to win release of 85 surviving American hostages.
It wasn't until 1801, under the presidency of Jefferson, that the U.S. engaged in what became a four-year war against Tripoli. And it wasn't until 1830, when France occupied Algiers, and later Tunisia and Morocco, that the terrorism on the high seas finally ended.
France didn't leave North Africa until 1962 – and it quickly became a major base of terrorism once again.What's the moral of the story? Appeasement never works. Jefferson saw it. Sept. 11 was hardly the beginning. The war in which we fight today is the longest conflict in human history.

SEND THIS TODAY TO BOTH OHIO SENATORS AT http://www.senate.gov/.
WE MUST KEEP THE PRESSURE ON.
1) Investigate ACORN and permanently STOP GIVING THIS CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE MY MONEY!
2) Do not assist any further intrusion of the federal govt into healthcare. The problems in our current system can be remedied WITHOUT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SINGLE-PAYER, UNIVERSAL, GOVERNMENT-RUN SYSTEM!
3) Stop the unconstitutional abuse of power demonstrated by Senator Baucus' recent "order" telling Humana to cease and desist contacting their customers with warnings about Medicare cuts that would come from any new federal intrusion in the healthcare industry. THAT "ORDER" WAS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF FIRST AMENDMENT FREE SPEECH! DON'T YOU SEE THAT?
4) Oppose "cap and trade" legislation. It's simply a new tax based on unproven assumptions about human-caused climate change. It is unconstitutional.
5) NO NEW TAXES! We are taxed enough already!
6) The American people will NOT disarm, and we also WILL NOT BE DISARMED. We will keep our weapons to protect us from YOU. Unarmed people are not citizens; they're subjects. We are and will always remain citizens protected by our Constitution. Remember that!
7) Oppose "union card check." The right to secret ballot voting is sacred.
Michael Moore Loves To Use Alinsky Tactics
Yeshua said many important things, for example, render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and more importantly Yeshua told Pontius Pilate my kingdom is not of this world. Yeshua knew this world was corrupt and Satan's play ground. We do not need Mike Moore to give us poor theological arguments. Yeshua never said to his disciples or audiences get those dirty, filthy capitalist Romans. Nor did he tell his fellow Jews to rise up and cast off their chains.
Instead Yeshua told his followers they must circumcise their hearts and be born again. Yeshua came to atone for our sins, he was not a leftist revolutionary. On another occasion he scolded Judas when Judas complained about the cost of the expensive oil the woman used to wash Yeshua'a feet.

The Grassroot Conservative Endorses Rob Portman For The U.S. Senate From Ohio
I received the following from Rob's Portman's campaign manager, Bob Pudachik . I have known Rob for several years and know he will represent Ohio with true conservative principles and he will work to protect U.S. national security. I consider it a great honor to endorse him for the U.S. Senate.
Dear Friend,
It’s official! Ohio’s Republican State Central Committee unanimously endorsed Rob Portman’s candidacy for U.S. Senate.
It was an overwhelming affirmation of months of hard work, with Rob attending Republican county Lincoln Day dinners, parades and festivals and meeting with elected officials and grassroots leaders to build a strong corps of support across the state of Ohio. The political winds are changing and Republicans have a historically strong team for 2010. We know that Republicans do well when we have a strong ticket. It doesn’t get better than this! Show your support today just ahead of our third quarter fundraising deadline.
It’s early and poll numbers will continue to move around, but great intensity and support for Rob’s bid is undeniable. The new Rasmussen poll numbers show Rob in a dead heat with his Democratic challengers who both currently hold statewide office.
Send a strong message with a strong third quarter finish! Rob has the commitment, vision and ideas to turn Ohio around and serve as a shining example of resurgence and recovery for the rest of the Country. The unanimous support Rob has received from the Republican Party organization will only increase the Democrat’s false attacks against Rob as they attempt to shift the focus away from the failed policies of the Strickland-Fisher administration. Self-proclaimed Jobs Czar, Lt. Governor Lee Fisher has brought us record unemployment and no plan to turn our state around. The Democrats fear the ideas-based campaign Rob Portman is taking to every corner of Ohio. There’s much work ahead, and we need your help as Rob fights for every Ohio job and every Ohio family! Please show your strong support for Rob's candidacy by by contributing $10, $50, $100 or even $200 to the campaign today.
“Rob is highly respected on both sides of the political aisle, and he brings to the table the experience, skills and temperament that would make him an effective advocate for Ohio on day one.” said Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine, “No one understands better how to address our economic challenges and opportunities better than Rob.” Please do your part to help Rob fight for Ohio working families and put our state back on the path to prosperity. Your support will help us spread Rob’s message of responsible, fiscally-restrained government and policies that promote the job creation Ohio families and small business owners so desperately need. Rob can put Ohio back to work! Contribute Today and ask your friends, colleagues and neighbors to join you as we work together to create the opportunities that Ohio’s hard-working citizens deserve.
Sincerely,
Bob Paduchik
Campaign Manager

1973 Yom Kippur War
Adonai, on this most holy day we thank you for sending Yeshua to atone for our sins. You are indeed a magnificent God!
Esther 4:14 "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"
Esther 4:14 "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"
When we think of God's defense and deliverance of Israel, we are drawn to the awesome signs that declare He and He alone is God, a pillar of fire, or the parting of a sea.This passage from Esther reminds us that the Lord more often uses obedient people than He does pillars of fire. As today marks the passing of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, it also marks the thirty-sixth anniversary of a milestone between the US - Israel relationship.
As Israel pressed into the holy sabbath of atonement, with her head bowed and her guard down, her enemies viciously attacked her in the 1973 Yom Kippur war. By any measure of worldly logic the Jewish State had its back against the wall, and was quite literally counting the rounds of ammunition she had left.
Half a world away, President Nixon, with the scandal of Watergate hanging on his neck like a millstone, received a phone call in the middle of the night from Israel's Prime Minister Golda Meir appealing for military hardware and munitions. The words of his dying mother, "if you are ever in a position to help Israel, do it" must have echoed in his head. This man's political career had ended in shame, but the Lord used this unrighteous gentile to deliver and defend Israel from the jaws of her enemies. It was as though he had come to that royal position for such a time as that.
As world powers wrestle to redefine the US-Israel relationship, let us be obedient in not remaining silent at this time, that relief and deliverance for Israel would need to arise from another place. Let us remember that the Lord uses people, ordinary people like you and I, to defend the apple of His eye.

The Grassroot Conservative Endorses Bob McDonnell
With less than 40 days to go in his campaign I thought it was worth taking a moment to focus on the remarkable series of events that have unfolded over the past week.
On Wednesday, Bob was endorsed by The Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce; on Thursday, the Fraternal Order of Police; and this morning the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce added their name to the long list of people and organizations supporting Bob McDonnell and his plans to create jobs in every corner of Virginia.
In an op-ed piece for The Washington Post Wednesday, our opponent finally came clean with voters that his first act if elected will be to raise taxes on Virginians. The Washington Post editorial page noted, “R. Creigh Deeds, the Democrat running for governor in Virginia, has now unequivocally committed himself to support higher taxes…,” The Washington Post (September 24, 2009). Deeds’ call to raise taxes on Virginians, and the issue will infuse every race for the House of Delegates from here on out. Today’s campaign coverage is dominated by former Democratic Governor Doug Wilder refusing to endorse Deeds, telling the Washington Times that Deeds’s desire to raise taxes in a weak economy “doesn’t show leadership and responsibility to me.” Newspapers from The Roanoke Times to The Virginian-Pilot to The Richmond Times-Dispatch to the Waynesboro News Virginian have lambasted Deeds for running an “overwhelmingly negative” campaign, airing “deceitful” television spots, promoting an “outright lie”, and for the fact that he has “put forward absolutely no concrete set of proposals on any of the critical issues in this race, not transportation, not education, not economic development ... not a one." (You’ll be seeing some of these quotes on your TV screen starting today) Entering the final month of the campaign bob had $1.4 million MORE in cash on hand than the Deeds campaign, a significant advantage. The grassroots activists are enthusiastic, walking neighborhoods, phoning voters, planting yard signs and knocking on hundreds of thousands of doors. As of late September, they have already nearly doubled the number of doors knocked on by our party during last year’s Presidential election here in Virginia.
Bob, Bill and Ken are running as a unified ticket, and working closely with our candidates for House of Delegates. Bob is over 50% in the latest Washington Post poll, taken AFTER a wave of negative attacks from the Deeds campaign about a decades old graduate school paper. And a Research 2000 poll reported on by The Washington Post found Bob up 50-43, basically unchanged from August. And every poll finds our voters to be more motivated and enthusiastic than Deeds’ backers. Historically races in Virginia tighten after Labor Day, and it’s likely to tighten more in October as a lot of self-identified Independents who tend to vote Democrat come home, but the fundamentals of the race remain strongly in Bob’s favor. Creigh Deeds has refused to engage in a series of statewide debates with Bob, and just this past Tuesday he refused to join Bob on stage at a joint forum at Virginia Union University. The Richmond Times-Dispatch wrote, “we are worried about Deeds' reluctance to take the stage with McDonnell. A governor must be willing to face his constituents and the political opposition. Why is Creigh Deeds so afraid?”We know the answer to that! Bob cleaned Creigh’s clock in the Fairfax County Chamber debate, and has a platform of specific ideas to create jobs, improve our schools, build new roads and make energy more affordable. And Creigh Deeds is the most aggressively anti-business and jobs killing candidate for governor of Virginia in modern history—actually running on tax increases in a time of recession. Taken together these points paint the picture of a race unfolding on Bob's terms, with the energy, ideas and momentum entirely on Bob's side. Forty days is still a lot of time in politics, but ask yourself, “Would I rather be playing hand or theirs?” But if Bob plays his hand well, keep working hard, and continues to get his message out then Republicans will win the Virginia governor’s race for the first time in more than a decade, sweep the statewide offices and increase Republican representation in the House of Delegates.
ALERT: Obamacare Will Be Passed In The Dead Of The Night
Senators are negotiating on Senator Max Baucus' ObamaCare 6.0 proposal and it hasn't even been written yet.
Of course, to state the obvious, the fact that they're negotiating on something that hasn't been written means no one has read it yet either. And, to add even more insult to injury, it’s now clear they have no intention of letting you read it. You read that right. On an almost straight party-line vote, Democrats in the Senate Finance Committee squashed an amendment by Senator Jim Bunning that would have required Baucus’ ObamaCare bill to be posted on the Internet – for all Americans to read – for 72 hours prior to the Committee voting on it.
Not only that, Bunning’s amendment also called for requiring the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office’s official tally of how much Baucus’ ObamaCare 6.0 will cost the American people and what the real impact will be on health costs to be released before the it was voted on.
It's as plain as the nose on your face. They're leaving the door wide-open to pass Baucus' ObamaCare 6.0 proposal in the dead of night... under the cover of darkness… without even telling you and other concerned Americans what it will cost and how it will affect your health care.
But what really takes the cake is that even after those shenanigans, some Senate Republicans are still going out of their way to play Let’s-Make-A-Deal on Senator Max Baucus’ ObamaCare 6.0 socialized health care scheme.
They're actually fighting tooth-and-nail, not to stop ObamaCare but to negotiate a so-called compromise on this Obama-Baucus scheme to socialize the nation’s health care system.
And that's just one more reason why we must tell our elected officials, right here and right now, that the American people don't want any more negotiations or deals or compromises. We want ObamaCare off the table and we want it off the table now.
Defcon IV: War Warning With Iran
Psalm 109 opens with, "for wicked and deceitful men have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues. With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause. In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer. They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship...But you, O Sovereign LORD, deal well with me for Your name's sake; out of the goodness of Your love, deliver me."
This Psalm lets us know that God's love will deliver us from lying words and accusations if we will pray. Psalm 23 assures us the LORD is our Shepherd; we will not be in want, that He restores our soul and guides our paths. Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, for He is there to comfort us. God prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies. He anoints and causes us to overflow with His goodness, love and mercy. God will bring us into the bond of the covenant in the coming days, when He fulfills the gracious promises He has made to us. God will keep us safe as we dwell in His presence. He will hide us from the days of trouble and exalt us over our enemies. We will rejoice for the days of testing, trouble, and trials because they perfect us as fine, pure gold. The favor of the Lord will rest upon His golden vessels and He will establish the works of our hands.Sin, doubt and disobedience keep us from the promise of entering God's rest. When we rest in Christ He will find His resting place in us. It is the Christ in us that gives us power to demonstrate the "greater works" of the Gospel.
I received the following from Joel Rosenberg. The items in parentheses are my comments. (ABC, NBC & CBS news are abject failures when it comes to reporting news. I highly recommend CBN.com to my readers. CBN will give you the truth, not state run propaganda.)
The story in the epicenter is moving quickly. Defense Secretary Bob Gates says there is now no question Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. (Wow, I am shocked, that is major surprise Secretary Gates.) U.S. military analysts are looking carefully at how Israel might attack Iran, if need be. Iraq's President Jalal Talabani says Israel has not been given permission to use Iraqi airspace for such an attack. Talks between Iran and the Western powers begins on Thursday. I don't expect much from them, except more delays. Much hinges on the thinking of the Iranian regime. What do they want? What drives them? Are they willing to give up their nuclear ambitions, given their religious beliefs?
Since September 2006, I have been urging Western journalists to ask Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the record about his beliefs in the “Twelfth Imam” and about the implications of his annual prayer at the U.N. asking for Allah to “hasten” the arrival of the Islamic messiah, also known as the “Mahdi.” For years, no American or British journalist has asked such questions, despite the importance Ahmadinejad's eschatology plays in Iranian foreign policy. This year, with a nuclear showdown intensifying, journalists from Time, Newsweek, AP, CNN and NPR all were given lengthy sit-down interviews with the Iranian leader. But for yet another year, none of them asked questions about his religious beliefs. However, after scouring the transcripts of all these and many other Western news reports over the past few days, I found a surprise at the end of the full transcript of NBC's Ann Curry exclusive sit-down interview in Tehran last week. She actually did ask two important questions about the 12th Imam, becoming the first American reporter to do so. But NBC has thus far failed to report the story. (We all know how leftward NBC has tilted in its news reorting so that doesn't surprise anyone really.) Neither NBC Nightly News nor the Today Show included Curry's questions or Ahmadinejad's answers in their respective reports on Thursday night and Friday morning. Nor have NBC publicists highlighted the eschatology questions and answers for other reporters or the public. Did NBC's producers and editors not find the exchange interesting? Why haven't they asked experts to analyze Ahmadinejad's answers, and to explore his religious beliefs more in-depth? I commend Ann Curry for the asking these questions. What's more, I encourage her to follow the story. It's an important one, and she is ahead of the pack on this. I've posted the key excerpts from Curry's interview on the weblog. There's also a link to the full transcript, and a link so you can watch the video online. [Note: On Sunday at 1pm eastern, MSNBC aired the full interview.] On the weblog, I've also posted the full transcripts of Ahmadinejad's speech to the U.N. -- he began the speech by praying for Allah to hasten the coming of the Twelfth Imam.

Internatioal Day Of Blasphemy - Unbelievable
Atheists, agnostics and free-speech advocates around the world will mark the first International Blasphemy Day on Sept. 30 by mounting their soapboxes -- figuratively and literally -- and uttering words that are likely offend. And for that, they're making no apologies. The painting is Jesus doing his nails.
We need to pray to the Holy Spirit/Ruach Elohim about this matter. These people are becoming brazen in their rejection of God. I pray that they see "the truth, light and the way."
How long will the Lord/adonai put up with our idiocy?
Home Grown And Ready To Die For Allah
Recent Al Qaeda targets have included the U.S. Marine Base in Quantico, VA., New York City and a skyscraper in Dallas, Texas.
You will notice that the enemy is now trying to blend in like American home grown terrorists Mike Finton and DanielBoyd.
Rumors on the street are that more bomb plots are being planned. Keep an eye on suspicious packasges, brief cases, back packs, etc. at shopping malls, colleges and schools. If you work at a small airports like Warren County, Ohio Airport, Lunken Airport or Clermont County Ohio, Airport keep an eye for suspicious people flying in or out or renting small planes and carrying unusual items.
Meet At Fountain Square
The Tea Party Movement and the 9/12er have accomplished so much during the last few months to develop a CONSERVATIVE movement America hasn't seen for many decades and try to stop the path towards the destruction of this nation. 
And yet so many Christians still do not see that we are called to stand-up against evil. We're called to say NO when it comes to the point where JESUS CHRIST is mocked by the media and GOD is thrown out of the public life. The Bible calls us to put GOD FIRST in our life. Yet many Christians belief if we submerge and pray in hidden places silently we work for our LORD.
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have to stand-up for the word of GOD and we have to fight for the right to honor and glorify HIM wherever we're.
This Nation was founded on Judeo-Christian basis and our founding fathers made it very clear that this republic cannot survive without sound faith in the Almighty GOD. But we lost this path over the last decades and the nation has shifted dramatically in the wrong direction. We have GOD thrown out of our schools, colleges, universities and our whole public life, yet we sing: ".......GOD bless America....".How can GOD bless this nation when we don't talk to HIM anymore? We have turned our back onto HIM and ask HIM for blessings we have been mocking for so many years. HE is unable to hear us with our back towards HIM. We have to turn around, repent and ask for forgiveness - face to face.

Since I know, out there are many believers in Christ watching with growing concern the downfall of the godly foundation of this great nation, I 'd like to invite you and all others to participate on an initiative I have started in August.
When minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual politically-correct generalities, but what they heard instead was a stirring prayer, passionately calling our country to repentance and righteousness.
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In six short weeks, the Central Christian Church had logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of the prayer from India, Africa and Korea. Commentator Paul Harvey aired the prayer on The Rest of the Story on the radio and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired!!
My friend. Harald Ziegler came to the U.S. from East Germany. He, more than the rest of us appreciates freedom. He started a "PUBLIC PRAYER for the NATION" inspired by the history of the United States and lead by the Holy Spirit. Every last Saturday each month, Christian citizens like you and me in several different towns throughout America are asked to join like-minded Christians in a Prayer for the Nation. We assemble at the most recognized place of the town at 10:00AM and start with an opening prayer which is the same anywhere. After that we're just going on and pray whatever comes to mind and we also sing if there people who are able to do so.

Harald's hope is to spread this initiative around the Nation so that we will have one day of prayer in every single town all over the United States of America.
May GOD have mercy on the United States and lead us to repentance.
The Party Of Death And Freedom Of Act (FOCA)
In July 2007, Barack Obama promised a group of his supporters that, if elected president, he would sign perhaps the most evil piece of legislation in the history of our republic.It's called the "Freedom of Choice Act," or FOCA -- but don't let the Orwellian title fool you. It isn't about "freedom" or "choice" at all. It's about forcing each and every American citizen -- regardless of his or her view on abortion -- to support abortion-on-demand not just as a "fundamental right" but as a taxpayer-funded entitlement. But the compulsion wouldn't stop there. Because FOCA would also run roughshod over the conscience rights of doctors, nurses, and hospitals that oppose abortion on religious or moral grounds -- forcing them to provide or counsel for abortion or face professional de-certification, loss of funding, lawsuits, and even prosecution.Not only that, FOCA would immediately strike down any and all state restrictions on abortion -- even those with wide popular support, such as prohibitions on partial-birth abortion and parental notification requirements for minors seeking abortions.
Make no mistake: FOCA is the most radical piece of pro-abortion legislation ever proposed, one that would go far beyond Roe v. Wade in making abortion a government-protected and taxpayer-supported "right," through all nine months of pregnancy.
In his 2007 campaign pledge to Planned Parenthood members, Obama promised that signing FOCA would be "the first thing I'd do as president." The only reason he hasn't followed through on that promise is that Democratic-controlled Congress has yet to introduce and pass it. Why the delay? For one thing, they've had bigger fish to fry -- such as trillion-dollar "stimulus" packages and a new government-run health care system. They learned from Bill Clinton's immediate post-election action on gays in the military not to squander a new president's honeymoon period on divisive social legislation. But also, by delaying, they can lull their pro-life opponents into thinking that FOCA has been tabled, while quietly building support for it in a stealth propaganda campaign that is already underway using major media outlets -- such as the Washington Post, which recently ran a piece in its "On Faith" section called "Why Fear FOCA?"
The Freedom of Choice Act would:
Establish abortion as a "fundamental right," elevating it to the same status as the right to vote and the right to free speech -- going beyond any Supreme Court decision in enshrining unlimited abortion-on-demand into American law
Eliminate every restriction on abortion nationwide -- including 44 states' laws concerning parental involvement, 40 states' laws on restricting later-term abortions, 46 states' conscience protection laws for individual health care providers, 27 states' conscience protection laws for institutions, 38 states' bans on partial-birth abortions, 33 states' laws on requiring counseling before an abortion, and 16 states' laws concerning ultrasounds before an abortion.
Compel taxpayer funding of abortions through state and federal welfare programs, federal employee insurance plans, and in military hospitals.
Force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform abortions
Force doctors and nurses to provide counseling and referral for abortions.
We need to provoke a massive outpouring of voter outrage that will stop this evil law from being enacted.

Hands Around Cincinnati
Hello brothers & sisters In Christ,
Pray Around Cincinnati
I am asking greater Cincinnati churches and synagogues to join with us on I-275 to encircle greater Concinnati with hands and pray for the forces of darkness to be lifted from our great city and surrounding communities. What better day than Saturday 31 October 2009 to take back Cincinnati from the Greatest Liar of all - Satan.
Our city is beset with recession, murder, pedophilia, arson, child & spouse abuse, perversion, theft, drug abuse, gangs, police lay-offs, swine flu, budget deficits, low church attendance, and immorality and evil. We will also say prayers for our fellow citizens who have dire personal needs and healing.
Our greatest weapon in this spiritual war is prayer and it is time to take our city back!
Let's show America we stand with Jesus and we love our city.
If you or your church or synagogue wish to participate contact me @ singleralan@yahoo.com
Let The Spiritual War Begin Tomorrow
Dear brothers & sisters in Yeshua,
Please pray tomorrow Friday to lift the veil of darkness from our great nation.
Urgent Nationwide Call to Prayer
Convergence
It is critical that the church in America understands the times and what needs to be done now. The natural things speak of the invisible. Natural happenings on the earth are revealing something that is going on in the spiritual realm. There is a great spiritual conflict with a rising tide of Islamic boldness being manifested. Several happenings are converging this week. First of all, our President has recently proclaimed, honored, encouraged the Muslim holy days of prayer and fasting called Ramadan. He was very silent on the National Day of Prayer but very vocal on the support of Ramadan. Interestingly at the same time a major Christian leader of the Emergent Church called for forty days of fasting and prayer in the same Ramadan period with the goal that the church will better understand our Muslim friends. We are all for understanding but we must have spiritual discernment as to the spiritual dark powers that are being invoked into our nation.
Cause for Concern
At the same time, on the 25th of September, Muslims are calling for a Muslim Day of Prayer in Washington DC (http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com/. They are calling for 50,000 Muslims to gather and pray on the DC Mall. This is the exact word of one of the Sheikhs who is leading this historic gathering, “Muslims should march on the White House. We are going to the White House so that Islam will be victorious, Allah willing, and the White House will become into a Muslim house.” These are not empty words. They speak of a dark spiritual intent and a coming day of great trouble to America.
A Divine Moment
Now these events are enough to awaken us to this significant throbbing moment, but when they all converge it becomes a massive spiritual alarm that must be responded to by the praying Church. This convergence, I believe, is urgently summoning us in the midst of the rising tide of Islamic influence in America to recognize that our God is above every god and that if we return to Him with all of our hearts and call upon Him with fasting and prayer then God could use what the enemy meant for evil to bring about a great day of salvation for Muslims in America.
Here is the Vision
First of all, we cannot be passive as a Church to let these kinds of developments go on without being challenged in the spirit. Our fight is not against Muslims, it is against principalities, powers, and forces of darkness. We are calling the Church of America at the end of Ramadan, from September 21st through 25th, to five days of concerted prayer. On Friday, September 25th, the Muslim Day of Prayer, we are calling the Church of America to fast and pray that Muslims would be moved by the Holy Spirit, convicted by the testimony of Christ, and even be visited by Jesus in dreams. We must pray that God would restrain the spiritual powers behind Islam and grant us the great awakening that we desperately need for America.
America Undergoing Judgment
Dear Brothers & Sisters In Yeshua,
I have said this many times in this blog and I will say it again. If the Obama regime insists upon dividing Israel and giving East Jerusalem to the Muslims God will judge our land. Israel is not Obama's land to divide, Israel is God's land and Obama is interfering with God's prophetic plan. I now believe Obama and the people around him represent the spirit of the anti-christ. I want to emphasize that he is not the anti-christ.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem because a huge war is on the horizon. Our enemies sense our weakness and these times resemble the 1930s in many aspects. Netanyahu and the people in Israel need to know they are now standing alone against evil. I have faith in God that the Jewish people and their Christian allies will rise to the challenge. Keep in mind, it was Jewish scientists who promulgated the idea of the atomic bomb and I believe Israel has a secret weapon to protect itself. Israel's enemies will be shocked and dismayed at Israel's power. However, the Israelis must not rely solely on technology and armaments. They need to draw closer to God in their hour of crisis because only Yeshua can save them.
Of course, I do not know the future but the Lord sent me a dream about three months ago of a major electrical storm. My dream resembled the first Gulf War and occurred in or caused darkness. Three weeks ago a Christian brother sat at my table and told me about his vision. In his vision he saw a globe like one would have in a living or study. He said just above Italy he saw a fire beginning. Two or three hours after we had lunch I telephoned him to get clarification about the vision. I said, "Dave tell me more about this vision you had this week." Dave said, I did not have this vision this week I had it at your table. I asked him if the fire he saw was the Holy Spirit and he said no it was every sin, perversion and evil one could imagine and it spread around the world. I explained to him that in the "End Times" the Bible said young men would have visions and dreams. Subsequently my son told me he had a dream that involved violence. I believe these dreams and visions are interconnected.
My friends these visions and dreams are a foreshadowing. Time is running out because our enemies are plotting behind the back of Obama, America and Israel. Our enemies hate us because we are the light in the world, we are the beacon of hope. This is a spiritual war involving Satan and the forces of darkness. Obama is merely the tool to an evil end.
It has rained in Cincinnati approximately four or five straight days now. Georgia and Alabama have faced massive flooding and Georgia is bankrupt. America's bread basket the central valley of California has no water. Th central valley produces the bulk of our lettuce, water melons, honey dews, tomatoes, almonds, cabbage, and a variety of other crops. I find it interesting that Obama, to the best of my knowledge, has not spoken about the central valley or the floods in Georgia and Alabama.
Our federal government that continually states it can solve our problems but our so-called leaders can't even mobilize an effort to help California, Alabama or Georgia.
Large parts of California have been devastated with wild fires and California is bankrupt. The state of California has spent over $300 million on these fires. Many reservoirs in California are only one third full. California has faced a drought for three years now.
We have just thwarted a major attack in New York City. Fox News in the last hour (Thursday, 24 Sep @ 1200 hours) reported that Zazi and his Muslim henchmen planned to set off Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and bombs. I do not consider back pack or bombs in vans to be WMD. Why did Fox News report WMD?
It is not a coincidence that these things are occurring. Our great nation is being permeated with the spirit of Satan. Every time one of our officials talks of dividing Israel and Jerusalem something adverse happens in America. I have written on this topic in the past in this blog and you can look up the facts on this matter in previous posts.
I have also come to the conclusion that Obama and his wife are narcissists who are focused on themselves. Michelle took a 36 car convoy to go grocery shopping. She lives in the White House why does she have to go grocery shopping? She views herself as a celebrity and she and her husband need adoring fans. This my friends is a cult of personality.
In an effort to keep you informed, Joel Rosenberg reported the following about (WASHINGTON, D.C., September 24, 2009) -- President Obama's first address to the United Nations General Assembly was not just a disappointment, it was dangerous. Weak on Iran. Hard on Israel. Virtually silent on Afghanistan. The President effectively called for Israel's capital city of Jerusalem to be divided, for Israel itself to be divided, and proposed no enforcement mechanism to stop Iran from getting the Bomb. This will only encourage the Radicals from Gaza City to Tehran. Ahmadinejad's speech was also dangerous, in a different way. The tone was low-key, quiet, deceitfully tame -- it was clear he didn't want to make splashy, provocative headlines this time around. The speech was aimed at temporarily mollifying critics (or at least not giving them fresh ammunition against him), and buying time so the West doesn't act decisively and Iran can finish building nuclear weapons without interference. What's so dangerous is this strategy is likely to work. Noteworthy was that he didn't end his address with a prayer to Allah asking him to hasten the coming of the Islamic Messiah, known as the "Twelfth Imam," or the "Mahdi," or the "just and promised One" as he did in 2005 and 2006. Nor did he open the speech by praying for the Allah to hasten the coming of the Islamic messiah, as he did in 2007. That said, Ahmadinejad's address contained more references to the coming of the Mahdi than any of the others, including his 2008 speech which did build on this theme. He referred twice to the Shia Islamic eschatological notion of "entezar." This is the capacity for a Shia Muslim to wait patiently for the coming of the Islamic Messiah.

Why The U.S. & Its Allies Are Losing Afghanistan
This week the commanding general McCrystal's report was leaked to the press. I wrote the article below in March 09 and I felt it was time to review and re-post my article.
Naturally, since I am a patriot and a retired U.S. Army officer I want the United States and our allies to win in Afghanistan.
However, I am also a realist and I believe we are losing Afghanistan for several reasons.
First and most importantly we cannot win in Afghanistan unless a U.S. style constitution is implemented in Afghanistan. The Afghan people must have freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of the press, freedom for women and freedom of assembly. Islamic or Sharia law will never offer the Afghan people, especially women, true freedom because Islam is a forced upon people, it is not voluntary religion.
Second, Afghanistan is a different kettle of fish compared to Iraq. The geography is quite different from Iraq. The Iraqis, although they have tribes are more secular, business like and cosmopolitan. The Afghan people and tribes are more insulated from the world and most importantly, true believers in Islam.
Third, the security situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated steadily since 2001. Afghanistan is one third larger than Iraq and with its tough terrain and rugged mountains it poses a tough operational environment. General David McKiernan, commander in Afghanistan said he needs 30,000 more troops to stabilize the security situation, for a total of 60,000 boots on the ground. There are 30,000 NATO troops in Afghanistan and 1,000 Australian troops. President Obama is sending an additional 17,000 troops for a total of 47,000 U.S. troops. Counter-insurgency (COIN) type warfare requires more manpower than conventional warfare. It also takes an average of eight years to defeat an insurgency; we are in our eighth year in Afghanistan. We should be able to see some progress in Afghanistan and yet we don’t see any progress in some provinces. This war is part of what General Abizaid described as the “Long War,” a multi-generational conflict.
Fourth, the Soviets killed over one million Afghan people and lost in Afghanistan. Then the Afghan people fought a civil war after the Russians left. The Taliban imposed their harsh version of Islam and they continued killing the Afghan people who disagreed with them or violated Islamic law. At the time the United States intervened in 2001 the Taliban was fighting the Northern Alliance. Hence Afghanistan has not known peace for thirty years. One would have expected the Afghan people to become weary of war by now.
Fifth, unfortunately for Afghanistan and the West we lost the charismatic leader in Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Massoud, the Lion of Panjshir on 9/9/01. An Al Qaeda (AQ) suicide squad assassinated him with a video camera bomb. Massoud played a leading role in driving the Soviet army out of Afghanistan. Massoud was the most pro-Western and popular of the anti-Soviet resistance leaders. Hamid Karzai simply is not the charismatic leader Massoud was.
Massoud's military organization was an effective compromise between the traditional Afghan method of warfare and the modern principles of guerrilla warfare that Massoud learned from studying Che Guevara. His forces were considered the most effective of all the various Afghan resistance movements.
Massoud created the Shura-ye-nazar (council of supervision), a military council that coordinated the actions of 130 mujaheddin commanders from seven provinces of northern Afghanistan. This council existed outside the fold of the Peshawar parties that were prone to rivalry and bickering, and served to smooth out political and ethnic differences between resistance groups. To put it succinctly, Massoud was a much better leader, fighter and organizer than Karzai.
Fifth, our European allies promised they would commit more troops to Afghanistan and they have not sent the number of troops they promised This is one of the main reasons we are losing some provinces. Vice President Biden tried to coax our European allies along during his recent visit to Europe. Biden told them we closed GTMO for you, we promised you we would not torture any more prisoners so please send your troops to Afghanistan. By and large, Biden’s pleas fell on deaf ears except for a promise by the Italians to increase their troops. President Obama needs to pressure the Europeans to keep their commitment or search elsewhere for more allied troops. Obama burned his bridges with the Czech Republic and Poland so he cannot go there.
Sixth, the Afghan people grow poppies and make heroin and they make huge amounts of money in that business. The Taliban clamped down on the drug trade when they were in power and virtually stopped the drug trade. Now the Taliban and other warlords use the drug trade to monetarily support their insurgency and their fiefdoms. In recent years Afghanistan has had bumper crops of poppies.
Seventh, when Obama was not looking our Russian friends cut off our supply line to Afghanistan from Kyrgyzstan. The Russians do not like our presence in their former Soviet republics in central Asia and they got the Kyrgyzstan government to terminate our presence in their country.
Our military has performed admirably in Afghanistan and will continue to do so despite the very difficult mission, long logistical lines, harsh, mountainous terrain, the need to implement COIN strategy, increased worldwide deployments. The worldwide deployed of the U.S. military places a huge strain this poses to our military.
Finally, the crux of the matter is President Obama is a rookie, socialist Utopian when it comes to foreign policy. Mr. President there are no moderate members of the Taliban. They want to impose a 7th century style theocracy on the Afghan people. They have a proven track record in that regard. They want to enslave women, keep children illiterate or uneducated and burn down schools. The Taliban will lie to us because Islam allows them to lie to infidels and apostates like us. Mr. President you are a member of the House of War, not the House of Islam.
President Obama and his administration do not seem to have a clue about good and evil, the current state of the world, or history. They do not seem to have read history and consequently are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. They think they can talk with our enemies and they will see the “light” through human reason and come to reasonable agreement with us. Yes, they will come to terms with us about one thing - our quick exit from Afghanistan on their terms. Mr. President, I am afraid you are going to find your phoney Taliban moderates, cut a deal with them and then the U.S. will exit Afghanistan with our tail between our legs. We will leave in place an emboldened enemy allied to a nuclear Pakistan and Iran. Then we will have another axis of evil to contend with.
This administration possesses a naive Jimmy Carter view of the world and this naive view does not work ala Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea and Venezuela. The thugs and bullies are coming out of the closet Mr. President, you better wake up! In the last few days Hugo announced he is allowing the Russians to land their long range Bear bombers on one of his Venezuelan islands, the South Korean army has been on alert because of a N. Korean missile preparation and threat. The Russians are rejuvenating their navy and signing huge weapons and nuclear deals in the Middle East. In short, our enemies are testing us while we are asleep at the wheel. Our world is a mean and nasty place and the Taliban, Iranian mullahs, AQ and others do not listen to human reason. Like Saddam Hussein they only understand blunt, brutal power. Our Islamic enemies in Afghanistan wear theological blinders and their religious view of the world has changed little since the Prophet’s time. The U.S. cannot reach a settlement with our foes in Afghanistan or Pakistan because they do not share our western views. The Taliban and warlords in Pakistan have violated every truce they agreed to with the Pakistani government. Afghanistan has been a failed feudal state for a long time. If we are going to be in Afghanistan long term let's demand a U.S. style constitution, after all, we and our allies did this with our vanquished enemies in World War II and it worked out well. Why should Afghanistan be different?
Naturally, since I am a patriot and a retired U.S. Army officer I want the United States and our allies to win in Afghanistan.
However, I am also a realist and I believe we are losing Afghanistan for several reasons.
First and most importantly we cannot win in Afghanistan unless a U.S. style constitution is implemented in Afghanistan. The Afghan people must have freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of the press, freedom for women and freedom of assembly. Islamic or Sharia law will never offer the Afghan people, especially women, true freedom because Islam is a forced upon people, it is not voluntary religion.
Second, Afghanistan is a different kettle of fish compared to Iraq. The geography is quite different from Iraq. The Iraqis, although they have tribes are more secular, business like and cosmopolitan. The Afghan people and tribes are more insulated from the world and most importantly, true believers in Islam.
Third, the security situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated steadily since 2001. Afghanistan is one third larger than Iraq and with its tough terrain and rugged mountains it poses a tough operational environment. General David McKiernan, commander in Afghanistan said he needs 30,000 more troops to stabilize the security situation, for a total of 60,000 boots on the ground. There are 30,000 NATO troops in Afghanistan and 1,000 Australian troops. President Obama is sending an additional 17,000 troops for a total of 47,000 U.S. troops. Counter-insurgency (COIN) type warfare requires more manpower than conventional warfare. It also takes an average of eight years to defeat an insurgency; we are in our eighth year in Afghanistan. We should be able to see some progress in Afghanistan and yet we don’t see any progress in some provinces. This war is part of what General Abizaid described as the “Long War,” a multi-generational conflict.
Fourth, the Soviets killed over one million Afghan people and lost in Afghanistan. Then the Afghan people fought a civil war after the Russians left. The Taliban imposed their harsh version of Islam and they continued killing the Afghan people who disagreed with them or violated Islamic law. At the time the United States intervened in 2001 the Taliban was fighting the Northern Alliance. Hence Afghanistan has not known peace for thirty years. One would have expected the Afghan people to become weary of war by now.
Fifth, unfortunately for Afghanistan and the West we lost the charismatic leader in Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Massoud, the Lion of Panjshir on 9/9/01. An Al Qaeda (AQ) suicide squad assassinated him with a video camera bomb. Massoud played a leading role in driving the Soviet army out of Afghanistan. Massoud was the most pro-Western and popular of the anti-Soviet resistance leaders. Hamid Karzai simply is not the charismatic leader Massoud was.
Massoud's military organization was an effective compromise between the traditional Afghan method of warfare and the modern principles of guerrilla warfare that Massoud learned from studying Che Guevara. His forces were considered the most effective of all the various Afghan resistance movements.
Massoud created the Shura-ye-nazar (council of supervision), a military council that coordinated the actions of 130 mujaheddin commanders from seven provinces of northern Afghanistan. This council existed outside the fold of the Peshawar parties that were prone to rivalry and bickering, and served to smooth out political and ethnic differences between resistance groups. To put it succinctly, Massoud was a much better leader, fighter and organizer than Karzai.
Fifth, our European allies promised they would commit more troops to Afghanistan and they have not sent the number of troops they promised This is one of the main reasons we are losing some provinces. Vice President Biden tried to coax our European allies along during his recent visit to Europe. Biden told them we closed GTMO for you, we promised you we would not torture any more prisoners so please send your troops to Afghanistan. By and large, Biden’s pleas fell on deaf ears except for a promise by the Italians to increase their troops. President Obama needs to pressure the Europeans to keep their commitment or search elsewhere for more allied troops. Obama burned his bridges with the Czech Republic and Poland so he cannot go there.
