<div style="text-align: justify"><br /><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em"><em>When she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him</em>.Exodus 2:3–4 NIV<br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">* * *<br /></span></div><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">The rescue of baby Moses is a remarkable story of faith and deliverance. Many babies lost their lives in this terrible purge by Pharaoh, and yet God had a plan for one little baby boy and his family. Jocobed trusted God as she lowered the basket into the water and prayed for compassion from Pharaoh&#39;s daughter. Miriam, in obedience to her mother, stood watch over the baby and spoke wisely to the princess. The result of their faith was that Jocobed was allowed to continue nursing her own baby, and one day Miriam would join her brother Moses as a leader in Israel.(Exodus 2:7–10; Micah 6:4)<br /></span>

And as we do this, please use us to bless the lives of other families along the way.<br /></span>

But the underlying message is that Joseph prospered in spite of it all, whether he was a servant, manager or prisoner. God had plans for Joseph to rescue his whole family, including those who betrayed him. Joseph was a faithful young man; is it any wonder that God chose him for this important task? His priorities were determined by his faithfulness to God, not the pressures of a wicked culture. When tempted to commit adultery, he said, “<em>How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?&quot; (Genesis 39:9b) </em></span></span></span></div>

<p>Some conservative ideologues play the Victim Card like a master Tex
Hold Em player reads their opponents&#39; cards in Vegas and tosses out a
Joker. Sarah Palin has mastered the art of &quot;the liberal is attacking
poor little ME!&quot; </p>
<p>Conservatives use this technique more as a rallying cry to their
base. A way to squeeze money out of the fringes and make themselves a
hero to their cause. Carrie Prejean has been trying to do just that,
but her efforts are really weak. </p>
<p>The playbook is pretty standard. Say something racist, misogynist or
homophobic which the public doesn&#39;t like and claim that you&#39;re just
voicing your views and the dirty hippie liberals want to silence you
from speaking your mind. It doesn&#39;t hurt to have the looks Carrie does,
but it appears like she&#39;ll need some extra media training in the
Conservative Whiner schtick.</p>
<p>She&#39;s trying to be the new star on the far right conservative
circuit, but she&#39;s had a very controversial start to her run at it.<br />
</p><p>As you know, she was running for the Miss USA title, got asked about
gay marriage, said she was against it and then got into a very public
fight with Perez Hilton over it. She was immediately embraced by the
religious right, and as she was acting as Miss California started to
film commercials against gay marriage. This is a violation of her
contract as Miss California, because you cannot take positions on
religion and politics, but she does what most conservatives do, she
played by her own rules.</p>
<p>In the middle of it all, topless pictures were released about her,
which is no biggie, except when you want to be a leading figure in the
morally superior evangelical set. Donald Trump came to her rescue and
didn&#39;t fire her for breach of contract when she failed to show up for
scheduled events. A firestorm erupted between the pageant people in
California and Prejean, <a href="http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/shanna-moakler-resigns-s-co-executive-d">and it so infuriated Shanna Moakler she resigned.</a></p>
<p>She was finally <a href="http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/carrie-prejean-fired-miss-california-tr">fired by &quot;The Donald&quot; while she was doing a radio interview</a> because she failed to live up to the terms of her contract. </p>
<p>You can see why Sarah Palin is her hero. They both love to quit. Then she brought a lawsuit against the pageant. </p>
<p>Now the fun really begins because <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/11/04/carrie-prejean-sex-tape-settlement-miss-california-usa-pagneat/">she made a sex tape for her boyfriend and TMZ reported that it was this tape</a> that got her to back down and the suit was settled. </p>
<p>In the above video, Hannity tries to whitewash it for her, first
saying that the ex betrayed her, at which Prejean naturally smiles and
says, &quot;Yes, he did. I loved him.&quot; Her book is called &quot;Still Standing,&quot;
which is of course an attack on the media, and her thesis is that
everybody wanted her to not express her views. And that, as you can see
by this, video is a joke. She has never been silenced at all. She&#39;s on
every TV show possible.</p>
<p>Her ex told <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/11/12/carrie-prejeans-ex-boyfriend-sex-tape-lie-age/">TMZ that Carrie tried to get him to lie about her age</a> so she could say it was a youthful mistake to appease the right wing Christians. </p>
<p>Listen, Carrie, nobody cares about your sex tape (except in a
voyeuristic way) or the money you spent on fixing up your body to win
beauty contests, or how many nekked pictures you took, because it&#39;s
your life. Bravo, I say! Will there be Late Night on Cinemax? </p>
<p>She has to concentrate on her religious base because that&#39;s where
her money is going to come from. If she cons them into thinking she&#39;s
another &quot;conservative victim,&quot; she&#39;ll succeed mightly in that arena. </p>
<p>Watching her on Larry King was also pretty funny. Larry King is the
King of the softball interviews, and she picks his show to try and pull
the old, &quot;Storm off the set routine,&quot; but can&#39;t even find her
microphone to rip off herself. King was trying to find out why she
settled her court case -- because as we know, it looks like the sex
tape made her capitulate.</p>
<p>In the above video, we have her then trying to pull what appears to be a <a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0911/11/lkl.01.html">preplanned stunt on Larry King for more attention.</a> </p>
<p>If it wasn&#39;t planned, then, well... she&#39;s just nuts.</p><p>Source:&#160; <strong><a href="http://crooksandliars.com/tags/carrie-prejean">Crooks and Liars</a></strong><br /></p>

            <p>Written by: Paul Drockton<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">One
thing that all Christians need to understand is that God is not
influenced by our decisions or values. We are influenced by His.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That
is, we can make all the laws we want to legalize sexual deviancy and
try and make it &quot;mainstream&quot; behavior. However, we will never get to
the point where honest men and women will reject their conscience and
values in favor of popularity and acceptance.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Our
world is now in the hands of the Satanists and Luciferians. They have
bought it with their gold and silver. Better yet, they have bought it
through a system that forces us to pay them interest just for the
privilege of using their paper currency. With this interest, they now
lay claim to politicians, corporations, media outlets and our most
hallowed institutions.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">They cannot, however, buy those things that state they are &quot;Not For Sale&quot;. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Everything
in life has its opposite. We have the Sun and we have the moon. We have
daytime and we have nighttime. We have light, and we have darkness.
Ultimately, we have good and we have evil.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The
rules of mortality state that you can only have good by personally
experiencing and rejecting the bad. I have learned many great truths,
but each and every one of them have come with a very steep price. Its
called &quot;Paying Your Dues&quot;.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For
example: When I lost my short-term memory in a car accident, I lost one
of the things that had the greatest value to me and my intellect. That
was bad. Or, so I thought. The reality is, by being unable to rely on
my physical mind, I was forced to humble myself and ask God for His
council on a frequent basis. I would not have survived without His
strengthening and encouragement. I would have learned nothing without
His inspiration.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I
learned that I could choose bitterness and self-destruction, or I could
use the experience to develop my latent spiritual abilities with God&#39;s
help. Opposition from great evil continues in my life, but through my
experiences, I have learned what is truly good and what is truly evil.
Now I can clearly judge between both without hesitation.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">God
ordained marriage in the Garden of Eden. It is His law that all men
should be loyal to that institution whether they are married or single.
He has also commanded men not to undermine the institution of marriage
between a man and a woman.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">At
the same time, he has permitted some men and women to be tempted by
Same-Sex attraction. Some through multi-generational influences, some
through sexual abuse as a child and some through the influence of those
that practice homosexuality.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">These
tendencies can either be a blessing or a curse. By opposing them, a man
or woman eventually gains power over them, and develops a deeper
understanding of true good and true evil.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">By
embracing them, the man or woman rejects the good and is left to the
influence of that which is evil. The longer the evil influence remains,
the deeper the affinity for greater evil that manifests itself in the
behavior of the individual. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br

<div class="post-header-line-1"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em"></span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em"><strong>Read Genesis 37</strong><br /><br /><em>Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made a richly ornamented robe for him. When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.</em> Genesis 37:3–4 NIV<br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">* * * </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">Jacob and Rachel waited many years before Rachel conceived. By then, Jacob already had sons by his wife Leah and their two maidservants, Zilpah and Bilhah. Rachael&#39;s firstborn, Joseph quickly became his father&#39;s favorite. This special treatment of the younger son caused resentment and hatred, particularly by the sons of Jacob&#39;s concubines. Jacob must have forgotten the pain of his own father&#39;s preferential love for Esau, for now he was repeating the pattern. Both Isaac and Jacob suffered the loss of a son because of favoritism. Jacob had to flee to his relatives and Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">* * *</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">Lord, help us to avoid comparing our children or grandchildren in an unfavorable way. Give us sensitivity to the feelings of each child and the ability to appreciate his or her unique personality and abilities. I pray like the Psalmist, &quot;<em>Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.&quot;</em> (Psalm 19:12, 14 NKJV)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em"><em>Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and mourned for his son many days. All his sons and daughters came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted.… Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh&#39;s officials.<br /></em>Genesis 37:34–36 NIV </span></div></div>

<div style="text-align: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">After years of hardship and deception by Laban, God miraculously increased Jacob’s wealth, and caused Laban to allow him to leave. Then, alone at night, after sending his family on ahead, God once again spoke to Jacob… A man approached him and they began to fight. Jacob wrestled all night long–evidently realizing this was a heavenly visitor. <em>Jacob said to him, &quot;I will not let you go unless you bless me.&quot; The man asked him, &quot;What is your name?&quot; &quot;Jacob,&quot; he answered. Then the man said, &quot;Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome.&quot;</em> … <em>So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, &quot;It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared</em>.&quot;(Genesis 32:26b–30) This strange encounter with the Lord left Jacob with an outward limp that would always remind him and his descendants that his blessings came from God.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">* * *</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">Lord, I can see in this story of Jacob how much You value humility. If we are to be blessed, that blessing will come from You, not from our own struggles. You are Jehovah Jirah, our provider, and like Jacob I will say <em>God has been gracious to me, and I have all I need.</em> (33:11) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center"><em></em><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em">* * *</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.25em"><em>The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip. Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob&#39;s hip was touched near the tendon</em>. Genesis 32:31–32 NIV</span></div></div>

decided to compare past and present. Past methods of enslavement were
highly sophisticated, and closely resemble modern feminist social
engineering. </p><p>Willie Lynch was a British slave owner in the
West Indies. He was invited to the colony of Virginia in 1712 to teach
his methods to slave owners there. The term &quot;lynching&quot; is derived from
his last name. </p><p>He advised slave owners to foster division, &quot;fear, envy and distrust
for control.&quot; Pit young versus old, light skinned versus dark skinned
and most importantly, male versus female. </p><p>In a section called <em>&quot;The Breaking Process of the African Woman,&quot;&#160;</em>
he advocated shifting her dependency from the African male to the slave
owner.&#160; This is achieved by beating and humiliating the male in front
of the female. Then, beating the female if she doesn&#39;t get the message.
This instills a kind of frigidity. </p><p>&quot;We reversed nature by burning and pulling a civilized nigger apart, and bull whipping the other to the point of death,<em> all in her presence.</em><strong>
By her being left alone, unprotected, with the male image destroyed,
the ordeal caused her to move from her psychological dependent state to
<em>a frozen independent state. </em>In this frozen psychological state of independence, she will raise her male and female offspring in reverse roles.&quot;</strong></p><p>&quot;For
fear of the young male&#39;s life she will psychologically train him to be
mentally weak and dependent, but physically strong. Because she has
become psychologically independent, she will train her female offspring
to be psychologically independent. What have you got? <strong>You&#39;ve got the nigger woman out front and the nigger man behind and scared.</strong> This is a perfect situation of sound sleep and economic.&quot;</p><p>She
will teach her female offspring &quot;to be like herself, independent and
negotiable (...we negotiate her at will.)&quot; She will raise her &quot;nigger
male offspring to be mentally dependent and weak, but physically
strong, in other words body over mind.&quot; </p><p>&quot;We will mate and breed them and continue the cycle. This is good and sound and long range comprehensive planning.&quot;</p><p>Sound
familiar?&#160; We recognize these patterns in the US Black community, and,
thanks to the hidden agenda of feminism, increasingly in the White. </p><p><br /><strong>AVOIDING SELF CORRECTION</p></strong><p>&quot;Willie Lynch&quot; starts to sound like the Cabalist author of <em>&quot;The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.&quot; </em></p><p>&quot;By
reversing the positions of the male and female savages, we created an
orbited cycle that turns on its own axis forever..&quot; But <strong>&quot;our experts&quot;</strong>
warned us of the danger that the mind might correct itself&#160; &quot;if it can
touch some substantial historical base.&quot; They advised us to &quot;shave off
the brute&#39;s mental history and create <em>a multiplicity of phenomena
of illusions, so that each illusion will twirl in its own orbit,
sometimes similar to floating balls in a vacuum.&quot;<br /></em><br />I haven&#39;t
heard our society described better. Our collective identity (race,
religion,nation and family) is being systematically erased and replaced
by air. Lynch goes on to promote interracial breeding so the slaves are
different shades of color befitting different levels of labor &quot;and
different values of illusion at each connecting level of labor.&quot;&#160; </p><p>&quot;Cross
breeding niggers means taking so many drops of good white blood and
putting them into as many nigger women as possible, varying the drops
by the various tones that you want, and then letting them breed with
each other until another cycle of color appears as you desire.&quot;</p><p>In
Orwellian fashion, Lynch concludes by stressing the importance of
creating a new language befitting slavery. &quot;We must completely
annihilate the mother tongue of the new nigger...&quot;<br />Again sounding
like a Cabalist, he says, &quot;language is a peculiar institution. It leads
to the heart of a people. The more a foreigner knows about the language
of a country the more he is able to move through all levels of that
society. Therefore if the foreigner is an enemy, the country is
vulnerable to attack or invasion of a foreign culture.&quot;</p><p>For example, the slave should learn the term &quot;hog pen&quot; but never &quot;house.&quot; </p><p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong> </p><p>Some
people think this speech is apocryphal. The language has been
modernized. Was the term &quot;nigger&quot; used in 1712?&#160; However, Blacks seem
to think the speech is genuine. It is on many Black websites.</p><p>The
point is that we are being socially engineered to be slaves in much the
same way as Blacks were, and by the very same people. </p><p>The
modern female has been &quot;frozen psychologically&quot; and now depends on the
slave owner (government, corporation) for her security. The modern male
is emasculated, strong in body but not in mind, grateful to be allowed
to serve a master, who often is a woman. </p>
