MILITANTS LEFT
RECORDED MESSAGE
PRIOR TO BOMBING OF MARRIOTT
IN PAKISTAN

A recorded message sent prior to the bombing of the Marriott in Pakistan stated: "The purpose of the attack is to kick American Crusaders out of Pakistan." While America is the only nation in the world which claims to have freedom of religion, the truth is that the Holy Bible clearly states from cover to cover the political message of destroying the Palestinians as the 2,000 year old enemy, and the prophetic establishment of Israel as a world power in the "promised land" of the former nation of Palestine. This has resulted in ongoing wars, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, and is spreading to other nations.

In most nations, religion and government are one and the same, which is a different view from most Americans, but which has been experiencing the establishment of a combined Jewish and Christian religion which is now called Judeo-Christian (with Judaism dominating) and is being spread worldwide. Therefore, the Islamic nations see America's military aggression as a movement of Israel toward the establishment of world power and destroying all other religion-governments.

Americans need to actually read the Holy Bible in its entirety to understand the overall political theme, because other nations have read it. Most Christian Americans, however, separate the teachings of the Holy Bible from its political promotion of the establishment of Israel as a world power, and blindly ignore its overall political theme. However, Jews are actively promoting Judeo-Christianity as one whole religion with Judaism as the dominant tradition, instead of two separate religions of Judaism and Christianity. In fact, there is no true difference in Judaism and Christianity other than traditional worship practices.

This new hybrid, Judeo-Christianity, also allows Jews to claim to be Christians when running for political offices because Christianity is more widely accepted than Judaism in securing political offices and leaders. Thus, a candidate who is actually Jewish can truthfully claim to be a Christian because both religions teach from the same Holy Bible and are, in fact, the same religion. Those who are prejudiced against Jews suffer with ignorance by not reading the Holy Bible and not realizing its openly written political purpose. (See, "Reader's Digest Complete Guide to the Bible" in a concise format to understand its overall political theme of the establishment of Israel as a world power.) By securing America as a Judeo-Christian nation, it will also secure Israel as a world power, but will significantly change America as the only nation in the world which practices Freedom of Religion without any one religion dominating. The strong movement claiming to be changing America into a one religion Christian nation is, in fact, changing it into a Judeo-Christian nation.

As missionaries travel worldwide and hand out copies of the Holy Bible and promote Judeo-Christianity, they are also necessarily practicing politics as clearly written in the Holy Bible which establishes Israel as a world power and destroys their 2,000 year old Islamic enemy, the Palestinians (Philistines) and changed the nation of Palestine into the nation of Israel. Many missionaries have not even read the Holy Bible cover-to-cover or skipped over the political parts, and do not realize that their message is political. That is why foreign nations view America's war, not as a fight against terrorism, but rather, as a "Crusade" to promote Israel as a world power and to establish America as one nation united with Israel because government and religion are understood worldwide as inseparable: America and Israel have the same Holy Bible as religious authority, and the same religion, which is now called Judeo-Christianity, and therefore, America and Israel are perceived to have the same government inseparable from religion. Consequently, religious intolerance is increasing in America and the Holy Bible is used by courts for swearing under oath, and practices of religious intolerance are increasing

Further, the leaders of America (including the candidates for President) have been outspoken against Islam which is contrary to the Freedom of Religion which America alleges. It is difficult to separate Islam the religion from Islam the government because they are the same. American leaders have tried to remember our Constitution which separates Church and State, but while fighting against Islamic governments, Americans realize that they are necessarily fighting against those governments' inseparable Islamic religion which changes the landscape of our Constitution, and which is further reason not to fight at all, but to focus our efforts on Peace talks, not warfare. Evil cannot be destroyed, and trying to fight evil with warfare functions as bait to create even more evilness.

LARGE BANK MAY FAIL

WARNS HARVARD PROFESSOR

August 19, 2008. A Harvard Economics professor, Kenneth Rogoff, warns that a large bank may fail within the next few months. He explains that it follows patterns of economic processes that "the financial sector needs to shrink. I don't think that simply having a couple of medium sized banks and a couple of small banks going under" is going to finish the inevitable economic course of events. MORE

IN HAWAII

August 25, 2008. Gambling has reached epidemic proportions in Hawaii and has been going on a long time. If you ask anyone at random, many will say that they often travel to Las Vegas, Nevada to gamble. Those who are homeless talk of moving to Las Vegas to live because "that is where all the money is," as they perceive. Why is Hawaii so obsessed with gambling? It is not surprising to hear that Obama gambles. Hawaii is a land of no opportunities for anyone other than the wealthy. There is "no" middle class. MORE

August 22, 2008. Fish living in the Ala Wai Canal, can no longer just breathe through their gills, but must learn from birth to breathe with their mouths. The water is so polluted that life has much difficulty surviving.

Think of the possibilities: The Ala Wai Canal could be used for romantic boat rides along its lengthy passageway and souvenir shops and hot dog stands could line its extensive continuous walkway, but instead, it is unsafe to even eat the fish (including shellfish), and deadly should you accidentally fall in its unguarded open waters.

But, there are many who fish there for large quantities leading to speculation that they are selling their catch to markets or to restaurants. MORE

His doctors gave a preliminary diagnosis of "exhaustion" and will follow-up with testing on Friday. Let us pray for his recovery and long life for the benefit of him and all of us. MORE

Stingray
(Dasyatidae)

STINGRAY SIGHTED IN THE ALA WAI CANAL

August 2008. A runner who exercises regularly saw a stingray in the Ala Wai Canal recently. We see them in several local aquariums, but it is rare to see them in the Canal which connects to the Ocean in the Ala Moana area. Also seen there regularly are the Box Jellyfish which have poisonous stings. It is not safe to swim in the Ala Wai for many reasons including toxic pollution. I also saw fish ferociously eating a branch that fell into the water.

There are many interesting life forms in the Ala Wai, and it is hoped that a railing will be eventually placed there to protect people from falling in, as it is completely open and very dangerous. Several years ago, a man pushed someone into the Canal who thereafter died from the jagged rocks that line the edge just underwater.

FOOT OF AN APE
OR US

Can you use your foot to pick up things? Most of us can. This dexterity reminds us of our past. But, are we living too much in our past because it is comfortable? We have been controlled by those outside of ourselves for so long that to have self-control seems wrong. Very few of us actually take control over ourselves in the full power that has been bestowed upon us. We are driven by our desires instead of by our Wisdom. When we try to control ourselves, it is like self-torture. We are not free yet, but realizing this is the first step forward with a human foot.

Dove resting at Ala Wai Canal

DOVE LOVE

Doves really enjoy watching the water at the Ala Wai Canal. They find it relaxing and romantic, and are often found kissing while watching the water flow. Doves kiss by gently touching their beaks together. As the courtship continues, they have been observed kissing and then feeding each other like a mother bird would do through the mouth while turning to facilitate the feeding process. They also embrace by pecking each other on the back of the neck which, apparently, is very sensitive to touch. Their feathers are extremely soft.

NATIONAL WEATHER OFFICIALS CONTINUE ABUSIVE HURRICANE NAMING SYSTEM

National Weather Bureau officials claim they lack creative intelligence to think of a better hurricane naming system. Presently, hurricanes are given names of little girls and boys which is abusive as they must go through life associated with horrible disasters, such as "Katrina." In an effort to show how easy it is to identify a hurricane without abusing personal names, I renamed hurricane Gustav to Hurricane 2008-G and the next hurricane Hanna as Hurricane 2008-H, and thereafter, Hurricane 2008-I for Ike. If you can come up with a better system, please help educate the National Weather Bureau. I cannot fight this battle alone.

BERNIE MAC ENTERS HEAVEN
DIES AT AGE 50

August 9, 2008. Bernie Mac died this morning of complication from pneumonia in a Chicago hospital. He is well remembered in his comedy sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show."

Bernie grew up in poverty and lived in a small apartment shared by 10 family members. Bernie told his mother, "I want to make you laugh so that you will not cry." He started out as a janitor and worked his way up with great comedy talent and continued to rise as he was nominated for an Emmy Award.

We will greatly miss Bernie Mac and will keep him alive eternally in our hearts. His comedy will remain with us through his many shows that brought us belly laughter and brightened our evenings with happiness. He had a great life and will continue to share it with us all as his star still shines brightly.

SHAFT THEME SINGER
ISAAC HAYES
ENTERS HEAVEN AT AGE 65

August 10, 2008. Isaac Hayes, the singer of the theme song to Shaft, died at age 65 at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Isaac was nicknamed "Black Moses" after winning a grammy for the album of that title. Isaac's fame began in a humble shack in Covington, Tennessee where his mother died and his father abandoned him. Raised by his maternal grandparents, Isaac was determined to fulfill his destiny if he only knew what it was. He had decided to be a physician, but realized his heart belonged to singing. He took a job shinning shoes to support his dream as he sang in run-down bars. His singing lifted him upward until he firmly grasped the star that maintained him in a long streaming light of success. We need to realize that the most successful people rise up from poverty.

August 7, 2008. President General Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan is facing impeachment by the coalition party which cites a movement toward democracy as the cause. The impeachment process is lengthy and has not yet reached a point of actual proceedings which requires at least a 50 percent majority agreement by the national assembly. Thereafter, an actual impeachment requires at least a 2/3 majority of the upper and lower houses of the national assembly. If impeachment actually occurs, it will be the first time in Pakistan which has been ruled by military leaders since 1947.
