2/20/12: NEWS YOU CAN USE…

Posted on by
THE PROPHETS of the OT and JESUS TEACHINGS HAVE HARSH WORDS FOR THE RICH WHO GROW RICHER WHILE THE POOR SUFFER. THE GROWING GAP BETWEEN THE 1% & the 99% over the last 30 yrs. has become BIBLICALLY BLASPHEMOUS. “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” CAESAR=FAIR TAXES; GOD=TAKING CARE OF ALL PEOPLE, THE ENVIRONMENT, POLLUTION, etc. IS SANTORUM AGAINST THIS?-mackie
  
Mr. Santorum should be careful in his efforts to score political points using biblical mandates on the same week that he shows such callousness towards the lives of the poor.

5 CRITICAL REASONS FOR LOW COST CONTRACEPTION COVERAGE..

Posted on by
ARE THE REPUBLICANS TRYING TO TAKE US BACK TO COAT HANGERS? HERE THEY GO WITH THESE MEN TRYING TO CONTROL WOMEN’S BODIES. NOW MOST WOMEN HAVE TO WORK OUT SIDE THE HOME. WHAT IF THEY DON’T WANT OR CAN AFFORD ANOTHER CHILD? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF SHE LOSES WHO JOB BECAUSE SHE BECOMES PREGNANT? HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT HER FAMILY AND THERE INCOME? Below are a view highlights, etc. There is so much more you need to know.
 
THEY’RE EVEN TRYING TO SET IT UP WHERE THE EMPLOYER WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD HELP…….
 
 
2) Contraception has numerous health benefits. A Harvard Medical School study found that oral contraceptives reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by 10 to 12 percent during the first year of use and by about 50 percent after five years of use. It also prevents significant health risks to women and infants by allowing women and couples to achieve healthy birth intervals and prevent unintended pregnancy. Having too short a gap between pregnancies has been linked to negative health outcomes, like low birth weight, preterm birth, and small size for gestational age. Unintended pregnancy is also linked to several negative outcomes for women and children’s health, including delayed attainment of prenatal care, economic hardships, and relationship problems. Publicly funded contraceptive services have decreased unintended pregnancy among health center clients by as much as 78 percent, studies show.
 
AND
 
5) It’s about more than birth control. As important as contraception is, the preventive care regulation is about more than access to birth control. It covers a wide range of services specific to women’s health, including cancer screening with Pap smears, HPV DNA testing, mammograms, and colonoscopies; domestic violence screening and counseling; and breastfeeding supports, among others. It also insures services like immunizations, dietary counseling, and cholesterol and blood pressure screening, to name only a few, to 54 million men, women, and children.

SUPER BOWL: THE PAIN AND GAIN OF LIFE…………………..

Posted on by
IMAGINE THAT YOU WERE ONE OF THE FIRST HUMANS TO LIVE ON THE EARTH (we came from them). THERE WERE NO LANGUAGES OR WRITINGS. YOU TOOK A STROLL THROUGH THE FOREST EATING ANYTHING YOU COULD FIND THAT WAS PLEASANT TO THE EYE AND HAD AN ODOR OF ATTRACTION. YOU ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE WERE DYING LOGS AND ROTTEN FRUIT, EVEN DECAYING ANIMALS. YOU ALSO NOTICED THINGS CRAWLING IN THIS DECAY AND BEGAN TO EAT THEM.
 
OVER TIME YOU BEGAN TO SEE OTHER HUMANS. YOU FIRST HID AND WATCHED. THEN GRADUALLY YOU DREW CLOSER AND NOTICE AN ODOR ABOUT THEM. YOU BEGAN TO SNIFF EACH OTHER, MAYBE NIBBLE AND JUMP BACK WHEN BITTEN. OUT OF FEAR YOU MAY HAVE FOUGHT, KILLED AND ATE THEM. THERE WERE OTHERS THAT YOU WERE ATTRACTED TO AND BEGAN TO HANG WITH. YOU BECAME CLOSER AND FORMED A FAMILY, AND THEN A TRIBE. SEX BECAME A NORMAL THING. BABIES WERE BORN. WOMEN NOURISHED THEM WHILE THE MEN WENT OUT HUNTING MEAT AND VEGETABLES; ANYTHING THAT TASTED GOOD AND GAVE YOU A SENSE OF FULFILLMENT.
 
YOU COMMUNICATED THROUGH SOUNDS AND GESTURES, ETC. CONTINUE WITH YOUR STORY OF PROGRESSION THROUGH TIME, THROUGH GENERATIONS AS YOUR SOUNDS BECAME DRAWINGS OF ANIMALS, THEN WRITINGS, ETC. (click on: http://www.oddee.com/item_93915.aspx).
 
Do you sense this present, this Eternal Being that is within and without you in all forms of life? You could call it a hunch as scientists, inventors, etc. do. Others call it faith. THEY STUDIED THE OLD BOOKS BUT IT WASN’T THERE. An idea out of nowhere pops in their mind and they develop a theory to see if it works. They keep working at it until things start happening. Edition stated that it took him over a thousand failures before he finally developed a light bulb. Look at all the things in medicines, machines, etc., that have given us better and longer human lives, and it’s speeding up now.
 
WE CAN’T GO BACK. IT WILL KILL US. WE MUST LIVE IN THE PRESENT SEARCHING FOR NEW IDEAS IN THE SPIRITUAL, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL THEORIES THAT WILL GIVE US BETTER LIVES. A WISE MAN ONCE SAID, TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR TOMORROW; LIVE IN THE NOW. THAT’S ALL THERE IS. DWELLING IN THE PAST OR FUTURE IS DEAD. LIVE IN THE NOW AND BE AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE OF YOU.
 
ONE ASKED: “WHY DO YOU CONTINUALLY LOOK BACKWARDS OR FORWARD? THIS ETERNAL FORCE IS WITHIN YOU. FOLLOW WHAT IS BEING REVEALED INSIDE YOU AND MAKE GOOD OF IT.” More later.

WARNING TO AVERAGE CITIZEN…..

Posted on by

RICH DOING FINE; AVERAGE CITIZEN DOING WORSE. BASIC ECONOMICS: GOVERNMENT SPENDS MORE=YOU HAVE MORE; GOVERNMENT SPENDS LESS=YOU GET LESS. WATCH YOUR GOVERNMENT.~mackie

(highlights cited from source below)

 Firing teachers, cops and government clerks will, for sure, reduce public spending. The full economic story begins with this principle taught to every economics student: spending equals income and income equals spending. Cut spending and incomes must fall; cut incomes and spending must fall….

When private spending shrinks, then either government spending must grow to make up for it or the other side of the equation, income, must shrink….By definition, no sovereign government can ever go broke in its own currency…….

NO TO AUSTERITY

The United States government, which has a monopoly on its currency, is $15.2 trillion in debt, roughly the same as the entire output of the economy for a year……. The country was much deeper in debt, relative to the size of the economy, in 1946 than it is today and yet what followed was decades of prosperity. The 1946 debt remains and, after six decades of growth, it is inconsequential.

In Japan, government debt is roughly twice annual economic output and yet the country continues to function because real interest rates are at or below zero….

Austerity budgets, by reducing government spending, will only make incomes fall more. The only way to make incomes rise is to make spending rise, which in the short run means more borrowing by governments to enable more public sector spending…

The people who steered our financial ship into dangerous waters in the first place were at the very top of this group. We should listen more to those will suffer from austerity budgets: children who only get one chance at an education, the sick and disabled unable to support themselves and seniors too old to work.

GINGRICH FLUBS FACTS….AGAIN, etc.

Posted on by
ETCWASHINGTON (AP) — Newt Gingrich called rival Mitt Romney a “terrible historian” but flubbed his own history in Congress on Monday night when he claimed the nation ran four consecutive budget surpluses during his time as House speaker. Romney attacked Gingrich’s financial links to Freddie Mac while ignoring his own.
The accusations were fast out of the gate in the latest Republican presidential debate, and reality got tromped in the process.
A look at some of claims and how they compare with the facts:
___
GINGRICH: “When I was speaker, we had four consecutive balanced budgets.”
THE FACTS: Actually, two.
 
The four straight years of budget surpluses were 1998 through 2001. Gingrich left Congress in 1999, so he only had a hand in surpluses for his last two years. The budget ran deficits for his first two years as speaker.
The highest surplus of that four-year string came in budget year 2000, after Gingrich was out of office.

STILL MISSING REVOLUTION OF 2,000 YRS

Posted on by
If you are seeking for more of the ETERNAL FORCE THAT CREATED AND IS CREATING AND CARING FOR ALL GOOD THINGS THROUGH THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THIS “ETERNAL SPIRITUAL I AM“, HE IS ALREADY LIVING WITHIN YOU. Some of you are already experiencing it. IF NOT, NEED A VERSE?
 
“Don’t waste your time about when, who, or what may happen; THE KINGDOM OF GOD, HEAVEN, I AM, etc. ALREADY LIVES IN AND THROUGH YOU TO CONTINUE TO LOVE AND CARE FOR ALL CREATION AND THAT WITHIN” (luke 17:21).
 
Also, “But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you” (John 16:17 and ff). We all have doubts. Jesus was human and confused when he asked on the cross: “MY GOD, MY GOD! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?” Jesus died and went on to be with the Holy Spirit and now lives in us.
 
After 2,000 yrs many people still worship the Bible as the word of God, instead of understanding that the Spirit of God lives within us and wants us to seek His guidance in truth and worship. So, what are we to do? Are we to stay in the first grade with those 66 books as the words of God, or as a history of what the writers thought about who their gods were? No more excuses: We are to sense, feel, seek after the Eternal Spirit in our hearts, not in an outdated misunderstood 66 books. We are now told and sense that the Holy Spirit wants to teach us new things about ourselves and the one and Only true ETERNAL SPIRIT as Jesus has done and wants us to do.
___________________________________________________
 
There has been a shift in many religious groups historically where people followed after a person who was telling them new things about hope that they had never heard before. The true hero kept telling the followers that he was only human, but believed in things never heard before. There crowds grew larger to the point where the people in power saw the hero as a threat to their religion or way of living. They begin following the crowd, questioning this hero whose answers threatened them. So they plotted to kill the hero by using some of his wayward followers to find out his journeys and a proper time to kill him. As the threats increased the hero became afraid and stated that he must leave. But, as usual, the hero waited too long and was slaughtered, stoned, crucified, etc. Of course, the faithful followers began to hide to avoid being murdered. They began to have visions and hear new things about their hero, but to no avail.
 
However, there is one hero that is unique: Jesus. Although he didn’t believe in the divinity of Jesus, Thomas Jefferson believed that the ethical system of Jesus was the finest the world has ever seen.
 
ONE OTHER UNIQUE THING ABOUT JESUS. HE IS THE ONE HERO KNOWN IN HUMAN HISTORY WHO PRAY AT HIS KILLING:
 
“FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.”
 
 
 
 
To know more about the “ETERNAL I AM” get in a quite space, relax and sense this presence in your breathing, blood flow, your entire body and listen as Jesus and many other Holy people have done and do because:
 
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit,
 
who lives in you and was given to you by God?
 
You do not belong to yourself. 1 Corinthians 6:19

CORPORATIONS GAINING MORE POWER OVER INDIVIDUALS…….

Posted on by
“I refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one” is flooding the internet.
 
Put simply, a corporation can sell all its assests, pocket the money, hire a new CEO who will down size and declare bankruptcy and leave high and dry. What happens to the employees who had no other skills to find a different job right away? Many lose their homes, assets, pensions funds, family, etc. There are many more reasons. Source cited below. -mackie
 
Just three months after Romney proclaimed that “corporations are people,” he has pledged to ensure that the Supreme Court will continue to share this delusion. During editorial board meeting yesterday, Romney promised that if he is elected, he will model his Supreme Court picks after corporate America’s most favorite justices:
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said if he had the opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court justice he or she would be in the mold of Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.
“Their approach is the approach I would encourage,” he said. “I would try to find those who would follow the Constitution.
Setting aside the obvious tension between Romney’s promise to appoint justices like Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, or Alito and his promise to appoint justices who will “follow the Constitution,” it’s important to note exactly what Romney is endorsing by supporting these four justices:

SCIENCE COMES FROM ETERNAL WISDOM (the eternal, God, etc)

Posted on by
SCIENCE COMES FROM GOD. DARE WE REJECT IT AT OUR OWN PERIL?
 
5 KEYS TO LESS STRESS IN 2012:
 
1. Reclaiming quality time. Learning how to let the mind relax and just “be” for a while.
 
2. Rethinking priorities. What is it we really want? What makes our hearts sing?
 
3. Seeing things differently. Pause and ask yourself if there’s another way of looking at the situation.
 
4. Don’t keep anxieties bottled up. When we stop resisting uncomfortable feelings, they have a better chance of dissipating.
 
5. Value your friendships. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
