In The Shadows To The Left

Rex: 'But in fact the secret entrance is to the left, hidden in the shadows.
Buzz: To the left and in the shadows. Got it.'

And so begins our journey of discovery of the current course of the U.S. Government. I have been thinking about this one for quite some time, and have been hesitant to actually write it. The hesitation is there because I will be speaking about some Scriptural passages in The Book of Mormon, I want to be sure nobody feels like I’m trying to push my religion, and also because I don’t want to be a conspiracy loon. But, here goes.

I have thought often, especially in the past while, about secret combinations. Secret combinations were the principle drivers in the destruction of several ancient American societies. They were started by those whose primary purpose was the attainment of power and riches. They were called secret, because well ,they were formed and practiced in secret (shadows/darkness). They were called combinations because a group of these power seekers get all wrapped up together through deal making and secret oaths.

The first secret combination existed between Cain and the devil himself. Since that time the temptation to promote and prosper this kind of behavior has been rampant among those who lust after power and gain. Secret combinations are addressed in the Book of Mormon, which contains a religious and historical account of the ancient Americas.
It is recorded that a few power hungry leaders, set out to make secret oaths in order to gain control over once free peoples. This occurred in several instances, each with disastrous results and finally with the loss of whole civilizations.

The secret combinations were outliers at first. They started to infest surrounding lands, then the cities themselves. But, when it really got dangerous is when they started infesting the governments.

The highest members of the secret combinations basically set themselves up as Oligarchies. What the flip is an Oligarchy? It is basically a group tyranny. The people are ruled by an elite few.

These few worked in secret, in the shadows at first. They reveled in chaos and were not above causing it. Then they became more prominent and gained political respect. The people followed like sheep to the slaughter which was eventually their fate.

So, are there secret combinations today? I contend that there are. Think of the inner workings of groups like the mob, or gangs, or terrorist cells. They operate in secret. An elite few rule subjugated masses. These lower pawns take a pounding at the behest of the leaders they have sworn allegiance to. Yes, they exist and they are exacting a terrible price.

But, an even more pertinent question, with an even dire answer is: do the secret combinations exist in the government? At the risk of being labeled a nutjob conspiracy theorist I think we are certainly at the very least trending that way. We are looking more and more like an Oligarchy.

How many times do we here comments like "we want our leaders to be smarter and better than us."? When did it become a requirement for our leaders to be super-heroes. Our founders viewed public servants to be ordinary Americans, with good intentions and yes some capability. Woodrow Wilson was famously nicknamed "the Professor" as President. It seems like ever since then it's like some requirement to be Ivy League educated. We need smarter people than us to rule over the dumb masses. I think there are many in government as well as in the media who honestly believe they are just smarter than the majority of Americans, and thus have some mandate to take care of/rule over us.

There are these political circles and good ol boys clubs within our government. Backroom deals are made. Votes are cast without any thought, or even attempts at reading bills. Its all based on favors to lobbyists and other politicians. Why would listening to the people be important? Our leaders are smarter than the rest of us. Look at the way Washington outsiders are treated, regardless of what party. Character assassination/defamation/destruction is like standard operating procedure. Citizens “melt the phones” on issues and yet our representatives just vote which ever way suits them and their political agendas best.

The mainstream media is complicit and culpable in this. They, the smart and arrogant few, tell us what to think without giving us all the information. The ancient American societies did not know the truth because the secret combinations would not allow them to hear it. And that is what it feels like today.

I don't know that we are an Oligarchy yet. There are millions upon millions of freedom loving Americans waking up to what is going on. But, it is where the government seems to be trending unless they can be put in check.

Oligarchy is Tyranny, which is on the left of the ideological spectrum. Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter. These days it seems they are just left and farther left. They are marching to the same elite few meme. They have been working in shadow, but it seems to be coming more to light now. The thing about bringing things to light is it makes the differences quite clear. We do have to be aware and cautious about zealots on the right. Anarchy is the farthest right. Tyranny rather likes Anarchy because Tyranny breeds well off of chaos. Chaos leads some people desperate for control, and even willing to hand over freedom in order to get a sense of security (no matter if the reality is false).

I don't know if what I'm writing about makes that much sense so, I turn again to Toy Story 2 "Just like you said lizard man, 'In the shadows to the left.'" I also go to the definitive source in the Book of Mormon, Moroni, who witnessed the destruction of his own people at the hand of secret combinations

Ether 8: 22-26
And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain -- and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
For it commeth to pass the whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies;

Well, there you have it. Only in a wierd mind like mine could you mix Toy Story and the Book of Mormon and come to a conclusion. Kind of gives you warm fuzzies all over right?

How do we stop what may be a secret combination in the government and media? We bring it fully out into the light. Let them know we see them, by letting our voices be heard. Be civil and be truthful. The greatest victories can be won with peaceful declarations of truth. Vote out questionable characters and seek out honest true public servants.

I have great hope that we are not yet a people ripe for destruction. I believe the majority of Americans are good, honest, freedom loving people. We just need to do as Moroni suggested, awake to our situation, and then do something about it. We the People still have the freedom to win back and uphold our Republic. It’s a sacred responsibility.

In Response

I'm sure I'm not alone in stewing over this latest ethics nonsense. Well, if something stews for too long, it eventually has to let off steam. I posted this over at www.conservatives4palin.com and decided to post it here as well.

I'm not someone who gets angry easily. But, there is one thing that usually gets to me, injustice. Governor Sarah Palin has been so mistreated by so many, that I have found myself getting angry far more often than I would like. By the way prayer is a good tool for assisting in alleviating the anger.

This latest nonsense is wrong on many levels. But, there is one issue that bothers me above all else, the breach in confidentiality. I am a Mental Health Counselor by profession. Confidentiality is absolutely paramount in the counselor/client relationship. A breach in confidentiality is an assault on trust. Once that is gone the relationship is good for nothing.

It is very obvious to me why confidentiality was important in this matter. It was an ongoing investigation. The report was a preliminary opinion. That opinion than can be challenged and further investigation can proceed. It is obvious by statements from Sarah Palin and Kristan Cole that the investigation is continuing. The breach in confidentiality at this point, undermines the whole investigation. It is also obvious in the report that there has been no ethics violation; the Governor has not touched the money in the fund. The suggestion by the media that she has done anything unethical is contrary to the report that they have unethically brought to light.

Kim Chatman, an individual who touts herself as a champion for ethics has exposed herself as completely unethical. She claims that she was not the source of the leak to the AP. That to me is a clever way of covering up her lack of ethics. Kim, you told somebody that is obvious. Confidentiality does not just mean don't tell the media, it means keep it to yourself. Your abuse of the system and your unethical behavior may have cost your state over half a million dollars. All because of a political agenda. Your Governor did not want the state to foot the bill. You may have forced that to occur.

To Rachel D'Oro and the MSM as a whole. Were a counselor guilty of violating confidentiality the way you have, that counselor would be stripped of their license and have to find a new career. You have exposed yourself as completely unethical. All for the sake of continuing your agenda of the destruction of a woman for some reason you find threatening. I hold an unconditional positive regard for humanity and individuals, and still maintain that view even for media members. However, you have lost something that I'm sure will not matter to you in the slightest, my respect, or what little I had left. It can be earned back but will take a lot of honest effort.

The media repeatedly violates the trust the public places in them. If they cannot be trusted to maintain confidentiality they cannot be trusted with information as a whole.

That Sarah Palin is made out to be some perpetrator of unethical behavior sickens me. This meme is spread by those whose unethical behavior screams out to any reasonable thinker. It is unjust. Such an egregious act as violating confidentiality should have a just recompense. Again a counselor would be stripped of their license. I'm not sure what can be done in the matter. So, I'm left disheartened and disappointed and saddened by the state of affairs we now find ourselves.

God bless Sarah Palin and her family. May they continue to be sustained. God bless Alaska, I truly wish the best for that beautiful state. God bless America, may some sanity and respect for moral and ethical decency be restored.

Sarah Emily Jordan, MA, LMHC.

Go Sarah!

Yes, I know another video. But, I get a kick out of it. I am working on another post about something that rhymes with smorlogarchy.

Enjoy the video, countdown to the beginning of a new journey for Sarah Palin.

Cute Kids Declare Their Independence

Over the 4th of July weekend I asked my nieces and nephews to help make a video on the Declaration of Independence. Enjoy the results.

Flower Power

I’ve figured it out! I know how to stop the devastating effects of climate change. I mean it’s a good thing I came along when I did. All the climate change that happened previously in mother earths long illustrious history did not do nearly as much damage as the current catastrophic warming, I mean cooling, I mean change will do to us and our posterity. This is the time for FLOWER POWER.

It’s all about Carbon right? Carbon emissions, carbon footprints, carbon paper, carbon with a side of Oxide. No make that 2 sides of Oxide.

What brainiac Climate Change scientists seem to have failed to either realize or disseminate to the public is that the emissions they are talking about are not just Carbon, but the ultimate planet destroyer of Carbon Dioxide, also known more simply as CO2. It’s really scary stuff.

It turns out that when human beings breathe in they breathe oxygen, but when they breathe out, they expel CO2. Stupid humans! Can you imagine how much better the planet would be without the human maggot infestation?! And don’t even get me started on the ridiculous amounts of animals we have roaming around spewing their noxious CO2.

Thank nature though, we have beautiful beautiful plant life. Plants will save us. In their generous self-sacrificing ways, the plants ingest the CO2 and then again in an act of profound mercy release oxygen for animal life. Plant life is thus the true life source of the beautiful planet.

We are not yet in a position to dispose completely of animal life, though Justice Ginsberg's recent comments were certainly illuminating. So, we thus have to find a reasonable alternative.

I suggest all animal life be required to carry a plant everywhere they go. They will thus provide beauty (that hardly exists when they are alone) and also cancel out their noxious CO2.

Can you imagine how lovely it would be for cows, instead of bells around their necks, to carry a potted plant in a carefully crafted container so they cannot eat it (filthy vermin). It would certainly be a start. Plant life could save us all.

Of course there would have to be a heavy tax on replacement plants. That money could go to all sorts of wonderful things, like Flower Power Health Care or Flower Power Redistribution of Wealth. Shout with glee for plants!

(sarcasm off)

Seriously now, I do believe in being good stewards of our planet. Pollution should be minimilized, in a safe and secure manner (physically and economically), littering is definitely bad. I even use a tote when I go shopping (though I confess I don't always remember). I love this planet including the amazing vegetation. God in His glory created an planet with an amazing system to keep both us (and all animals) alive, as well as plant life alive. It’s way cool, and deserves to be respected, but not idolized.

The "climate change" scare is ridiculous. Does the climate change? Yep, today had a different temperature than yesterday. Does it change over time? Yes, its called history of the planet. Global warming/cooling/climate change is a tactic used for money and control. I would not be surprised though to one day get a package from the government with a potted plant I have to carry around my neck all day.

Manajordan Goes To Washington

Today as I was looking at some of the websites talking about the march in Washington on September 12th, thinking about how cool it would be to go, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Well, if you think it would be cool why don't you go?! So, my flight is booked, and I'm extending an open invitation to anybody else who wants to go also. It's time for our voices to be heard.

God Bless

As if I have not had enough punches to the gut from politics today I read this admission of what abortion is really all about. It comes from Justice Ginsburg of the Supreme Court. I hope it spreads like wildfire. I want her to be asked specifically which "populations" she was referring to.

From World Net Daily

In an astonishing admission, U.S. Supreme Court
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she was under the impression that legalizing abortion with the 1973 Roe. v. Wade case would eliminate undesirable members of the populace, or as she put it "populations that we don't want to have too many of."

[...]

Question: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of Medicaid for abortions for poor women?

Ginsburg: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae – in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn't really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.
