Are you a "right-wing extremists"
The Department of Homeland Security has issued a report classifying every one who disagrees with the administration on just about every major issue as a potential "right-wing extremists".
It cites people concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.
The report is titled, “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,“ It's dated 7 April.
Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano says she regrets that some people took offense over a report warning that right-wing extremist groups were trying to recruit disgruntled troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
But she says "a number of groups far too numerous to mention" were targeting returning veterans to carry out domestic terrorism attacks.
She said the warning report that went out American law enforcement agencies was consistent with reports that were issued before.
Napolitano spoke on CNN's "State of the Union."
Two things: First, she "regrets that some people took offense." Isn't that a cop out? I'm sorry you were upset, but not sorry for upsetting you.
Second, and much more interesting, is that she claims that so many groups have attempted to recruit veterans to carry out domestic terrorist attacks that there are too many to mention? Have I been under a rock these years? I have yet to hear of a single report of any domestic terrorist brightest organization attempting to recruit a veteran. Is she just making this stuff up now?
And this from CNN on the Tea Parties:
Senior White House adviser David Axelrod on Sunday suggested the "Tea Party" movement is an "unhealthy" reaction to the tough economic climate facing the country.
Axelrod was asked on CBS's "Face the Nation" about the "spreading and very public disaffection" with the president's fiscal policies seen at the "Tea Party" rallies around the country last week.
"I think any time you have severe economic conditions there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that's unhealthy," Axelrod said.
Axelrod appeared to backtrack when pressed on whether the movement is unhealthy.
"Well, this is a country where we value our liberties and our ability to express ourselves, and so far these are expressions," he said.
"The thing that bewilders me is that this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people," Axelrod argued. "I think the tea bags should be directed elsewhere because he certainly understands the burden that people face."
Well... The thing that bewilders me is that the supposed best and brightest have got a clue!
FBI spied on TEA Party Americans:
Northeast Intelligence Network has a very informative, and chilling article at http://homelandsecurityus.com/?p=2659
“The implications to the citizens of the U.S. are ominous. It seems that there is a hostile political agenda coming from Washington that characterizes the supporters of our constitutional freedoms as threats to our domestic security, which is totally absurd. The redirection, the refocusing of domestic threats from al Qaeda cells to ‘flag waving right-wingers’ is something that has gone from a murmur a few years ago to a roar today.”
It's starting out to be a very interesting year!

Reflections of an elder eye:
Reflections of an elder eye:
On day after the fourth anniversary of the event that changed my life, I yearn to document the frustrations of life. Though I don't think my experience is unique to me, I do think my reactions to it is. I fully expect to recover from it, and benefit from it, but I don't understand why it's taking so long.
Four years seems like a lifetime when you're living on the edge of recovery. And the time is so short. And I have so much to do, and have not the mental capacity and physical prowess to do it. I'm sure God will give the resources I need when the time is right, but I think I need them now.
I have tried just about every thing I can think to increase my mental and physical capabilities, and I've made some small inroads, but the gap between my capabilities and the need is large and widening with each dawning of the sun.
But I have resolved to use the capabities I have, while I wait on the Lord. Maybe, though I hate the thought of it, this is all I have, and this is all there is.
Maybe I am asking too much. Maybe I have not made good use of what I have, and I can't have any more. If that's a fact, then more's the pity, because I thought I could do more, and there are people that will not benefiting from my wisdom, such as it is. And I an not claiming to have any wisdom in my own right. True wisdom comes from God.
There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom, and, in this day and time, we need them both: knowledge of what makes the world go round, and wisdom to discern the good things from the bad.
Soooo....... Let's begin again.

Lost Ark of Covenant?
There has been much speculation on the location of the ark sense it was lost some 5,000 years ago. World Net Daily has an interesting piece about it, and a new book by David Flynn
I think Jerusalem is the center of the earth, and it has a special place in God's heart, and in God's eye. Mount Nebo is 25.20 nautical miles due East Jerusalem, and the time is right for the ark to discovered, if it is indeed there. I don't place mach stock in Bible codes and numerology, but I do certain numbers and patterns are significance. The Jewish year has 360 days in it, and every seventh year is special; a year of Jubilee.
And as one of the poster, at Prophecy Fellowship, ConservPride, pointed out:
And the Bible says when Jesus comes back, he will enter Jerualem through the East Gate.
I wonder....

Has 'Temple' author discovered location of lost Ark of Covenant?
There has been much speculation on the location of the ark sense it was lost some 5,000 years ago. World Net Daily has an interesting piece about it, and a new book by David Flynn
In "Temple at the Center of Time: Newton's Bible Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012," by David Flynn, a book that has skyrocketed up the best-seller charts before its official release later this month, says his studies of the Temple Mount strongly suggest the Ark will be found at Mount Nebo in Jordan.
The discovery would be the greatest archeological find ever – as has been suggested in popular movies such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark.
In "Temple at the Center of Time," Flynn makes the case that the Temple Mount, the home of the Jewish temples, was not just a place of religious worship. It is also is a roadmap to future events – a kind of prophetic landmark whose significance is only now revealed through the development of satellite imagery.
The book asserts it has "deciphered Isaac Newton’s greatest paradox: None other than 'the unified field theory' of Bible prophecy. Jerusalem
According to the Bible, the greatest prophet of all time was Moses, which states, "And there arose not a prophet (neba) since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face." Ironically, according to the Bible, Mount Nebo was the site of the death of Moses.
The Hebrew words nobe, meaning "high place," and nahab, meaning "to hollow out," "gate," or "pupil of the eye," also correlate with the location for the resting place of the ark in a "hollow cave" on Mount Nebo, described in 2 Maccabees, says Flynn.
Mount Nebo is 25.20 nautical miles due East of Jerusalem – and Flynn finds significance in that distance related to his study of the Temple Mount and its mystical placement "at the center of time and space."
I think Jerusalem is the center of the earth, and it has a special place in God's heart, and in God's eye. Mount Nebo is 25.20 nautical miles due East Jerusalem, and the time is right for the ark to discovered, if it is indeed there. I don't place mach stock in Bible codes and numerology, but I do certain numbers and patterns are significance. The Jewish year has 360 days in it, and every seventh year is special; a year of Jubilee.
And as one of the poster, at Prophecy Fellowship, ConservPride, pointed out:
The article doesn't indicate what the significance in that number is, but... 360 * 7 = 2520
And the Bible says when Jesus comes back, he will enter Jerualem through the East Gate.
I wonder....
