Lives Lost-Lives Ruined
By
Roger Behra
As the many serial killings increased and proceeded in America during the first few years of the counter culture movement, none is more notable, remembered, and referred to as the Charles Manson cult murders in 1969. The year 2009 is the 40th anniversary year of those cult activities and murders.
The cult included Charles Manson as the purely evil cult leader. It would not be a surprise to know that he was/is demonically possessed. All the markings are present in his life history. His thinking and behavior was pure evil. His cult members included Susan Atkins, Patricia Kernwinkel, Leslie Van Houten, and Charles “Tex” Watson. Manson originated the evil ideas and the members carried them out. The murders of actress Sharon Tate and a wealthy grocer and his wife shocked California and the world. Their murderous activities were given the nickname of “Helter Skelter”.
Charles Manson was the most famous flower child of the upsetting and murderous 1960-1970 time period. He was a very manipulating career criminal. He attracted a band of hippie followers who carried out his demonically criminal ideas and suggestions. Manson was convicted of nine murders alone. He had the mind and disposition of and evil person so wicked, that it defies human perception. And the look in his eyes gives the very sure indication of pure evil and that a real demonic entity had control of his life and actions.
Recently, cult member Susan Atkins died in prison at the age of 61. In the Orange Country Register was a picture of Susan at age 21. She was a very pretty woman. But her life was not pretty. She spent most all of her adult life in prison, as she was the admitted and convicted killer of Sharon Tate. At the time of the murder she was so stoned on acid she did not remember how many time she stabbed the begging and pleading actress. While in prison Susan developed brain cancer, had a leg amputated, and died paralyzed. Manson and the other three cult member remain in prison.
A new book, Shadow Over Santa Suzanna, Adam Gorightly, has been recently published during this anniversary year. The book includes all the cult activities of the Charles Manson cult. It is unbelievable how demonic those cult activities were, as the group’s private activities took place among themselves. Some of the Original cult members left and were not involved in the cult murders. All the sex and acid taking and other dope taking along with the murders were the epitome of evil behavior. The bottom line of it all is the lives lost and the lives that were ruined. The book by Adam Gorightly is a must read on demonic behavior.

Escapades Behind The Scenes
By
Roger Behra
Many things go on with the American government’s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan that never is reported or sees the light of day. But once in awhile some outlandish episode does see the light of day, and the following story is one of them.
Some private security guards were hired to protect the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, which everyone can realize is an important assignment. Well, as the photos showed so graphically, the guards were doing so much more than protecting the embassy. And what they were doing at the guard camp and elsewhere were so embarrassing and perhaps very damaging to U.S. interests in Afghanistan. It also gives the native Muslims a very, very bad image of American officials and their efforts there.
The photos taken at the U.S. Embassy show the following conduct of the private security guards. They failed to realize that maybe their gravely immoral and sexual misconduct would later be found out. As everything eventually turned out, their escapades have been revealed to the whole world through the Internet. The photos and reports show and tell about the security guards in various stages of nudity and activities at drunken parties. Photos show guards lingering in lewd behavior and grave misconduct. The misconduct included many out of control parties and guards and supervisors frequenting brothels.
The behaviour and misconduct of the security guards is not only immoral, embarrassing, sick, and dehumanizing, it can cause very damaging consequences for our forces their in Afghanistan and seriously undermine the whole mission. It definitely gives the Muslims something bad to talk about in regards to American officials. It also gives Americans at home in America and in other countries elsewhere the opportunity to scratch their heads and wonder what else that is negative and going on with American efforts elsewhere. It is definitely something to wonder and think about.
This whole episode has given the whole world, and especially the Muslims, a very, very bad image of Americans no matter how anyone looks at this matter. It is another huge criticism and black eye for America and her concerned citizens.

Some Despicable American Behavior
By
Roger Behra
As you read this communication, you will easily realize that several American high school senior boys are perfect examples of what the new America is producing in the irreligious and immoral culture that exists in America today. They are perfect examples of despicable human scum. Morally good readers will readily understand, and parents who have daughters certainly will. They will realize that the word scum, which means “worthless, evil people,” applies here.
The behavior of these several high school senior football boys is scummy for the following reasons. The boys made a video that was published on FACEBOOK and probably was seen by hundreds, if not thousands, of students. In the video the boys threatened to shoot and rape a couple’s 17 year-old daughter who attended their school. The video included homophobic slurs and sexually explicit and filthy language. There was also a posting from one of the students who threatened to sodomize the daughter. It was in limerick form and included a gun.
The parents of the daughter notified the school district of the whole video incident. As a result the daughter was harassed by one of the football players. He threatened her in class saying that the notification was going to be the worst mistake of her life. To make matters worse, the indications are that the school district did not take the incident seriously enough. Now, the parents are really pressing the fight against online bullies. The parents are very upset that so many students and others saw the video on FACEBOOK. The parents and daughter are very worried that they have to live in fear of retribution and future harassment. And they are quite puzzled over the reason for the video.
The high school of the football players is only one of a multitude of high schools where intolerant school cultures exist. It is very, very prevalent in the new American culture. It is a definite outgrowth of the great lack of religious and Christian living that has taken over in America.
The new America (1964-200) is now full of scum-worthless, evil people-who do not honor God and live as good moral persons. Their lives are devoid of rightness and pureness of behavior. And they are roaming the halls of America’s high schools by the multiple thousands. The despicable behavior of many high school students is very evident throughout all of America. And it adds to the numerous other problems that has been hampering the schools in America for the last 20 years with no end in sight.

Not The Way To Go
By
Roger Behra
Ashley Lilly, 24, of Garden Grove, California, made two decisions when she was 12 years old that greatly affected her life 12 years later. They were the two decisions she never should have made. When she made those decisions not even her mother could get her to change her mind. If Ashley had listened to her mother, Ashley would have turned out so much better and still be alive today.
At age 12 Ashley decided to tell her mother she wanted to direct pornographic films. That was the first of her many bad decisions. The second bad decision was not to listen to her mother who tried several times to get Ashley to change her mind. So, it was those decisions that guided her ambition to succeed to her goal.
Ashley was a straight A high school student. At age 18 she graduated with high honors. Then she made a series of other bad decisions. This was in order to complete her desire to direct pornographic films. Ashley moved to Los Angeles. She got 3 tattoos. She worked as a stripper. She was known by the police as a prostitute. She was involved as an entrepreneur in the pornographic industry. She was working on an adult magazine. And then everything went bad 6 years after her 18th birthday.
Ashley Lilly was found beaten and strangled in a hotel room in Garden Grove, California, on August 21, 2009, allegedly, by Cesar Gomez, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. Ashley, therefore, became a victim of her own Godless and immoral decisions. She did not deserve to lose her life, but her style of life needlessly did just that. And it all started when she did not listen to her pleading mother. Pornography and prostitution is the roadway to disaster. And for Ashley there is now no turning back. Her life was lost and most probably a happy eternity as well. Her style of life was the exact opposite of what God wanted of her and what her mother expected of her.
The only redeeming factor of Ashley`s life is this. Do not let the serious lesson she taught us go to waste. Her style of life was not the way to go with exception of her high school achievements and her graduation with honors.
As you finish reading this sad story, please take a few moments to say a prayer or two for her mother, Annamarie. Ashley was the second daughter to tragically die. That is almost too much to take in one’s lifetime.

The Ruination Of America
By
Roger Behra
There is no doubt that the wheels of America’s culture have long ago fallen off, and that America is only a shell of her former self. The old America has evolved into a very sad new America. And there are some very solid reasons for that since the sudden assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. The birth of the new America began very shortly thereafter, and it started with the counterculture movement and the new regime in Washington that followed the assassination.
Each reason listed here can be a topic of discussion alone. However, the reasons will be mentioned with only a short statement with them. There’s no special order.
REASONS:
1. BEATLES- helped to introduce dope taking (LSD) and the glorification of deviant behavior and rock and roll music.
2. HOLLYWOOD- strayed from good and wholesome movies and television programs and good personal moral living to excessive violence, sex, foul language, cursing, indecent behavior, co-habitation, and children out of wedlock as the norm.
3. TELEVISION- help Hollywood bring into millions of homes the awful agenda of what goes on at the cinemas.
4. ROCK ’N ROLL MUSIC- glorified very unacceptable behavior, speech, and dope taking.
5. AMERICAN COURTS- left God out of many decisions and allowed their Godless decisions to become law.
6. POLITICIANS- also disregarded God, corruption abounds in Washington, and promoted and supported political correctness that has changed daily cultural living in a non-productive way.
7. MAINSTREAM MEDIA- has become the most influencial force for liberal thinking and liberalism that has taken over America.
8. PERSONAL POWER-GREED- has become a way of life and greatly effects daily business and personal life throughout America.
9. AMERICAN CITIZENS- sixty percent of them have abandoned religious living and replaced that with making up their own rules for daily living in all areas.
10. CRIME- has increased to an alarming rate causing prisons to overflow with lawbreakers and murders.
All of these reasons working together little-by-little in harmony over the past 45 years have transformed America into an irreligious, immoral, corrupt, do your own thing type of culture submerged in abortions. And it has not been without severe consequences, both culturally and from natural disasters. Look around you. Listen to the radio. Read the daily papers. And stay tuned. The worst is yet to come. You will realize that God no longer blesses America and her activities. It has already begun with the severe failing economy that is going to last for quite some time. Stay tuned.

No Great American Here, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 114
No Great American Here
By
Roger Behra
As soon as Ted Kennedy passed away, the super liberal mainstream media in America promptly began the canonization of him as a “great American.” The media completely ignored the reasons why he is not a “great American.” The real and true facts prove that. What are the real and true facts? Here they are.
Some of the blame goes to Ted’s father. He was always saving Ted’s bacon when Ted got into trouble during his going years. Ted’s father generously volunteered his influence, which hindered Ted’s character development very greatly.
After high school Ted entered Harvard University. There, Ted was a cheater. He was expelled from Harvard twice. Once was for cheating on a test. The second time was for paying a classmate to cheat for him. While expelled he joined the U.S. Army. His father arranged preferential treatment for him, and he never rose above private during his two year of service.
After his two years in the Army he returned to Harvard and law school at the University of Virginia. While a student at the U. of V., he was cited four times for wreck less driving. But his Virginia driver’s license, was never revoked and coincidently, he passed the bar exam there in 1959. Was his father helpful again? In 1954 Ted was seriously injured in a plane crash. While in the hospital at the time his tests showed he was legally drunk, at the time he was admitted. That remained a state a secret until 1980’s. At the time of Ted’s death the media did not mention any of this.
On July, 19, 1969, Kennedy left a party to chauffeur Mary Jo Kopechne, and that led to her death. Kennedy may have partied too much, and that could be the reason he waited until the next morning to call the police. When the accident happened, Kennedy swam to shore leaving Mary Jo in the submerged car. She died a horrible death as Kennedy handled the situation very poorly. Later Kennedy insured the fact that any inquiry would be contained, and it was, leading to only a suspended sentence of two months.
As a senator he was not very outstanding at all. He was widely held in Washington as the “standard-bearer” for liberalism. He was also know around Washington as one who drank to excess, who was loud, who was boisterous, and who was disrespectful to women.
Now you know the real Ted Kennedy, and how he was shielded from the general public by the super liberal mainstream media. They did and outstanding shielding job the media shielded a super liberal senator and an ordinary person because of his famous name and influence. The real Kennedy is not worthy of adulation, or idolization, or canonization. Most parents would not want their sons to be like Ted Kennedy. We are thankful for that, as he really does not qualify as a “great American”. Ted Kennedy was far and away from that.

Never Get Involved
By
Roger Behra
A multitude of people get involved, and then they learn some very hard and scary lessons. And for some it is nearly impossible, or actually impossible, to bring their life back to normalcy. They think they are just fooling around and playing a game at a party or a get together. But they learn as they get more involved that they made a crucial mistake. And the big mistake was to ever get involved with the Ouija board.
The Ouija board is a board with letters and signs on it and used to try to receive messages from the spirit world of dead people. What is failed to be realized is the spirit world has both good and bad spirits in the spirit world. And evil spirits do not miss any opportunity to become part of a person’s life. They are deceitful and full of ticks to ensnare someone. And when the group is very successful in receiving answers to questions asked of the board, that inspires individuals to try it on their own. And that is where the danger lies. Many times the Ouija board players are not successful in contacting the spirit world. They are the lucky ones. It simply is wise not to ever get involved. There are no sorrows or regrets attached to that decision.
On the Coast to Coast program, hosted by George Nory, George was planning to have a special Ouija board night on Halloween, 2008. George gave plenty of advanced notice of the planned program. During the waiting period so many informed people called in and very strongly advised George to cancel Ouija board night. The callers included professional practitioners, career religious, and the listeners themselves who had or knew of someone who had a bad experience with the Ouija board. Millions of people listen to Coast to Coast. Needless to say George did cancel the program and advised his listeners to not get involved with the Ouija board at any time. It was George’s very best decision. He decided to avoid a multitude listener problems and possible lawsuits.
It is well worth repeating that the Ouija board is not a game. For many people who get involved it is a real event that leads to unexpected and very unwanted circumstances. The Ouija board can bring mysterious and unwanted forces into a life or family, and most often the force is an evil one. House haunting, evil spirits entering lives, and suicides have been attributed to involvement with Ouija board. The inventor of it died a very sudden death one day. He fell backward very suddenly off of the roof of his business as he was helping workers install a very high pole.
The popularity of Ouija boards as entertainment has greatly diminished over the last two decades as more and more people learned of the negative results and forced involved. Someone gave a 12 year old girl an Ouija board. She took it home and asked her grandmother to show her how to use it. Instead helping the grandmother took the board and planned to get rid of it. In a nice way grandmother explained and warned the girl to never get involved with an Ouija board. No one should ever get involved with one of these. A multitude of people will certainly agree with grandmother. Another great number learned the hard way after they got involved. It was too late for them.

Bill recognized the voice as that of his deceased father. “Bill, hurry and check the swimming pool.” Bill promptly did so, and he was horrified to see his toddler son floating face down in the water. Bill screamed for his wife. Together they rescued the boy and revived him. It was a very close call.
Needless to say, the whole experience was very thought provoking. Bill emphatically decided to change his life. The transformation of a life being lived with God and thoughts of an afterlife had begun. Bill decided to find out and learn as much about God and life after death as he possibly could.
As a result of his inquiring and book readings on that subject, Bill got to meet Dr. Kubler-Ross, whose life was also transformed, and who was the foremost authority on life after death. (She is now deceased.) Soon, Bill quit his job and spent considerable time and days interviewing people on his own. The people he talked to and the information he gathered was astounding and very convincing. Bill became a firm believer and decided to help others cancel their own doubts about God and the afterlife.
All of these efforts are in a book, Hello From Heaven, Bill Guggenheim, available from Amazon.com in paperback form for $7.95. And if you want to know more about Bill and his discoveries and give him your own experiences, you can do so at wwwafterlife.com.
In Bill’s book you will read how the spirits of deceased ones helps their earthly relatives during grieving periods and at other times through dreams, or visions, or voice communication. The stories of children’s experiences are extremely informative and enlightening. Children do not embellish or exaggerate their stories. They tell exactly. You will read how deceased loved ones aid in the transition from earthly life to eternal life. You will read about the conditions of life with them in the afterlife. You will learn that we are here for a special purpose for only a special amount of time. You will read that there is, indeed, a dark and unhappy side for many afterlife spirits. You will learn that nothing is lost in t6ime, and that everyone is responsible for EVERY THOUGHT, WORD, and DEED. It is no wonder that Bill Guggenheim’s life was completely and lastingly transformed.

A Life Transformed
By
Roger Behra
Bill Guggenheim has a secure life as a stock broker, a nice home with a large swimming pool, a devoted wife,, and a toddler son. There used to be religion in his life, but Bill became an Agnostic because eventually believed that nothing can be known about God or life after death. Then, one day the very unbelievable happened in his life.
Bill was at home. It was a quiet and peaceful midday. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice. At first the voice startled him. It was clear and urgent. Bill recognized the voice as that of his deceased father. “Bill, hurry and check the swimming pool.” Bill promptly did so, and he was horrified to see his toddler son floating face down in the water. Bill screamed for his wife. Together they rescued the boy and revived him. It was a very close call.

Incredibly Destructive Behavior, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 111
Incredibly Destructive Behavior
By
Roger Behra
In America and probably in other parts of the world to, there is a saying that “there is nothing new under the sun.” Well, in the new American culture that is not true. There is something new under the sun, and the credit goes to incredible and destructive teenage behavior.
The teenage behavior being referred to here is called SEXTING. Sexting is the new teenage activity where teenagers electronically (cell phones and computers) send nude photos and explicit messages to each other. About 20% to 25% of high school students do this. The behavior is rampant across the United States, and schools are very concerned that it takes place during school hours. Administrators and teachers are also very concerned that their students do not realize the perilous outcomes the students face. It is a very grave situation!
Evil entities use immoral and illicit sexual behavior to trap souls. Therefore, sexting can open the door very wide to demonic affliction, demonic activity, and evil demonic possession. The door opens also very wide for other negative results. Sexting ruins lives at a very young age, because it is incredibly destructive behavior. It has real life consequences. Sexting can bring child pornography charges and criminal arrest. Suspicion of felony obscenity is aroused. Photos of the nude person can be distributed or sold without the nude person knowing about it. The National Crime Prevention Council is very closely monitoring all that is going on.
When parents come upon this activity going on with their teen’s cell phone or internet activity, parents have a real and serious problem on their hands. Parents have to convince their child immediately of several things. Sexting is very serious immoral behavior. Sexting leads to very unwise decisions. Individual privacy is lost. Parents have to tell their child if he/she fails to understand and co-operate, the proper authorities have to be notified immediately, or the parents will become part of this problem.
The sexting problem is not what the new America needs to join all the other negative problems polluting in the new America culture. When 59% or more of the American people do not practice religious living, it is no surprise that another serious and immoral and irreligious activity has joined the many others that infest the new America. It actually is an outgrowth of some of the other incredibly destructive behaviors.

Mensaje Navideño, de Año Nuevo 2010 y Agradecimientos
Mensaje Navideño, de Año Nuevo 2010 y Agradecimientos
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Tópicos Culturales ARCD Editor desea sinceramente que esta Navidad y el próximo Año Nuevo sean mejor para Ud., y su familia. Asimismo, han transcurrido los cuatro Domingos de Adviento, que nos recuerda el próximo acontecimiento, uno de los más grandiosos y gloriosos en la Historia Sagrada del Israel Bíblico para toda la humanidad: el Nacimiento del Niño Jesús en Belén.
En el Evangelio según San Lucas, nos dice: “Por la entrañable misericordia de nuestro Dios, nos visitara el sol que nace de lo alto, para iluminar a los que viven en tinieblas y en sombras de muerte, para guiar nuestros pasos por el camino de la paz” [1], y el Evangelio según San Mateo nos menciona que un ángel del Señor se le apareció en sueños a San José y le dijo: “José, hijo de David, no dudes en recibir en tu casa a María, tu esposa, porque ella ha concebido por obra del Espíritu Santo. Dará a luz un hijo y tú le pondrás el nombre de Jesús, porque él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados”. [2]
Tópicos Culturales agradece a los distintos sitios de Internet, las imágenes que circulan en Google [3] y que se emplearon para hacer un Collage de Arte Fotográfico y presentar la Postal Navideña: ¡Feliz Navidad y Venturoso Año 2010!” [4], la cual se comparte, sin fines de lucro, agradecimiento muy en especial al sitio de la Orden Franciscana encargada de la Custodia de Tierra Santa, de donde se emplearon las imágenes del Niño Jesús en Belén Tierra Santa. [5]
Cabe mencionar que de una de la imagen del Niño Jesús, y que por el reverso tienen una oración, como un, Recuerdo de Belén, regalo de Tierra Santa por la Orden de San Francisco de Asís, fue rediseñada por Tópicos Culturales para la difusión de la imagen del Niño Jesús Venerado en Belén, junto a la Oración al Niño de Belén, y apoyar también la noble misión que realizan nuestros hermanos franciscanos en Tierra Santa y en el mundo. [6]
En cuanto al TAU (T), ultima letra del alfabeto hebreo, se representó en la Postal Navideña, mediante una medalla de madera, pendiente de un cordel de color marrón, que aparece en la en la fotografía en forma de una doble “S”, y es para recordar de una forma representativa, a la TAU mencionada por el Profeta Ezequiel, y por San Juan en el Apocalipsis; y que San Francisco profesó con fe y devoción el signo TAU; en donde la doble “S” del cordel, en latín quiere decir: “Spiritu Sanctus” (Espíritu Santo), los 3 nudos son los 3 votos que realizan todas las órdenes religiosas: Pobreza, Castidad y Obediencia, y que los Frailes Franciscanos, lo simbolizan con un cordel blanco que ciñe la cintura en la sotana.

Old America vs. New America, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 110
Old America vs. New America
By
Roger Behra
At one time America used to be a very wonderful country in this wide world. The great majority of America's citizens were God loving and fearing. They kept the 10 Commandments and attended church on Sundays very regularly. They lived moral and orderly lives and taught their children to do exactly the same. Politeness was the daily way instead of the exception. They obeyed the established rules orderly living and the rules of the road while driving their cars. Neighbors minded their own business, took care of their houses, and were friendly and helpful. They were honest people in their dealings. The school systems produced soli and very productive citizens. (They were great leaders for victory during World War 2.) Prices for daily living were honest and generally affordable. All of these sounds like a pleasant dream, but it were a pleasant reality. In the new America of today it is only a dream. The pleasant reality vanished with the last century.
America is today well into the new century and the year 2009, and she is a far cry of her old self. The new America and the many changes are around us every¬where. And that is not at all very good. The chances of America changing back to her old self are not at all possible.
To start with, God is no longer part of millions of American lives. Fifty-nine percent of Americans no longer practice religious living. They do not know the 10 Commandments or teach them to their children. The percentage of atheism has noticeably increased. Agnosticism has also increased. If anyone studies the solar system, or reads the lives of the saints, or reads the stories of people's near death experiences and the doctor's comments would have a mind change. The court systems and the liberal judges have made many irreligious decisions in matter; of morality cases and especially concerning abortion and same-sex marriage. American prisons are overflowing with criminals. People make up their own rules for daily living. Common courtesy in relationships and in public places and while driving is absent. Personal appearances and women's modest dress leaves very much to be desired. Fraud, greed, and dishonest dealings are commonplace. Vulgar and indecent language can be heard by anyone at any time and especially by young people. People are afraid to help others out of fear of being sued. Yes, this is the new America.
There are a few good qualities left in American culture that we can well ac¬cept. There is a small percentage of Americans who still love God and keep His Commandments and have their moral compasses pointing in the right direction. But it is not possible at all to even come close to accepting the overall con¬dition of the American culture and way of life. We are far and away from all the numerous qualities that once made America so great. That is because Americans have drifted so far away from God and religious living. Until that philosophy changes, nothing else will change. America will simply continue to be without God's great help and blessings. Until Americans change their thinking and get back to God's ways and religious living, America will continue to stumble and never be the great nation she once was. The new America will never become the very blessed and acceptable old America.

Two Deaths-One Lesson Learned, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 109
Two Deaths-One Lesson Learned
By
Roger Behra
The gruesome murder of swimsuit model, Jasmine Fiore, and the suicide hanging of “smooth operator”, Ryan Jenkins, has been captivating and very much in the news and the print media since August 15, 2009. Jasmine's body was found in a trash bin, and Ryan's body was found several days later hanging in a closet in a motel room in Vancouver, Canada. The deaths were tragic and the whole episode senseless. Two young people's lives wasted.
The violent and tragic death of Jasmine and the suicide death of Ryan are very sad, indeed. The murder of Jasmine was at the hands of a man who used his very violent temper in a fit of jealousy was very gruesome. Her nose was broken. She was strangled. Her finger tips were cut off so her identity would not be dis¬covered. Her remains were crammed in a small suitcase and deposited in a trash dumpster. From this whole episode there is a very important lesson to learn and remember, and true Christians will, indeed, understand very clearly.
Because of the sudden and violent situation that arose and Jasmine's struggle to protect herself, she had no chance to have any last minute reconciliation with God. At the last minute she was very likely not spiritually prepared for her eternal life that came upon her so suddenly. That was the most tragic part.
In Ryan's case he had the chance to express sorrow and ask God for His for¬giveness, which Ryan might have done. But Ryan had to ask God to forgive all hls life's transgressions and then decide to take any legal punishment due him. The chances are otherwise. He most probably threw away any reconciliation he gained when he took his own life. After he died, there was no chance for any reconciliation for his suicide. That also was the most tragic part. The end for Jasmine and Ryan spiritually considering does not at all seem possible, but God as their judge only knows for sure.
Whether anyone wants to recognize and admit or not, the bottom line in every¬one's life is this. Did everyone live a life pleasing to God and then die in His friendship, which is most important, in the end to be happy with God for all eternity? In the end we are judged, and every thought, word, and action counts. Nothing is lost in time in eternity. And according to the news reports, the life styles of Jasmine and Ryan were very questionable spiritually considering. All Christian thinking and living people can understand this, and they realize the one most important lesson learned is to constantly live life pleasing to God and die in His friendship. Not everyone is fortunate enough to receive and have that final and most important grace from our loving God and Savior.
ADDENDUM
The same lesson can be learned from the death of Michael Jackson. He died without the chance for reconciliation with God during his last moments. When Michael went to sleep, he fully expected to wake up and continue his life. So reconciliation was far from his mind. His death was a double tragedy it seems.

San Dámaso, Por Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
San Dámaso
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
En el calendario del Santoral Católico 2009, se celebra al Pontífice San Dámaso, quién fue Papa a partir del año 366 y muere en el mes de Diciembre 11, del año 384 d C, a la edad de 80 años.
Era de ascendencia española por su familia, aunque la Enciclopedia Católica, no precisa el lugar exacto de nacimiento, menciona la zona de Gallaecia de la Península Ibérica durante el Imperio Romano de Occidente.
Fue un hombre de una gran cultura, muy brillante, y además poeta, escribió epitafios en los sepulcros de distintos mártires. Se dice que al Papa Dámaso introdujo entre las oraciones del mundo Católico el "Gloria al Padre, al Hijo y al Espíritu Santo, como era en un principio, ahora y siempre por los siglos de los siglos. Amén". El Papa Pío XI, lo declaró Patrono de las Catacumbas y de la Arqueología cristianas.
Antes de ser Papa, San Dámaso, fue secretario de dos Papas San Liberio y San Félix, y haciendo honor a su Excelencia de haber sido secretario, nombro como secretario a nada menos y a nadie más que a San Jerónimo, Padre de las Ciencias Bíblicas, al cual le encargo la traducción al Latín de las Sagradas Escrituras: la Santa Biblia a una versión popular denominada la “Vulgata”, que la Iglesia Católica la empleo por 15 siglos, y el Papa Benedicto XVI, se ha referido en distintas ocasiones.
Se atribuye a San Dámaso una serie de acciones que dieron consistencia a la Iglesia Católica, tales como: el llamar Sede Apostólica a la Sede Romana, el Latín paso a ser el idioma oficial en vez del Griego y en el año 374 se estableció el Símbolo de la Epifanía (Fe Católica n°5-8).
Los diversos Concilios durante el pontificado de San Dámaso, en forma cronológica y sincrónica fueron:
381 Primer Concilio de Constantinopla, que completa al de Nicea afirmando la Divinidad del Espíritu Santo.
381 Concilio de Aquilea contra los arrianos donde el papa no puede estar representado al estar en lucha contra el antipapa Ursino.
382 Segundo concilio de Roma que, bajo el impulso de San Jerónimo condena al apolinarismo.
383 Tercer Concilio de Roma.

Three Horrendous Murders, By Roger Behra

Three Horrendous Murders
By
Roger Behra
These three murders stand out because they vividly exemplify the violence and cruelty of fellow human being. The murders are particularly gruesome. The fingerprints of Satan seem to be all over these murders, especially Ryan´s who is from Vancouver, Canada, a place where Malachi Martin, author of the book, Hostage to The Devil, said demonic activity and possession is noticeably present and active.
Jasmine Fiore, 28, was a Los Angeles swimsuit model who recently moved there from Las Vegas. She met a man in a strip joint there, and early in 2009 they were married. Jasmine also did other kinds of work requiring the wearing of swimsuits. Prior to her marriage to the man she met in a strip joint, she had a relationship with two men would lead to her very early death.
Ryan Jenkins, 32, was the man Jasmine meet in the Las Vegas strip joint. They seemed to get along well, and the relationship blossomed into marriage. But soon into the marriage the relationship soured, and they separated. The millionaire Ryan Jenkins left. Little did Ryan realize that his lifestyle and the meeting of Jasmine would lead to his early death, also. His well know temper got in his way.
On Friday, August 14, 2009, they were seen together in an Diego, California. At that time together something serious developed between them, and that activated Ryan´s well know temper. Everything ended tragically for Jasmine. Ryan strangled her in a fit of temper. He pulled all her teach and cut off all her fingers so her body would not be identified. Then, Ryan put her body in a small suitcase and put it in a dumpster far away from the crime. When he realized a manhunt was out for him he fled to his own country, Canada, and hanged himself in a motel after several days had passed. That was the end of a most gruesome murder.
Skylar Deleon instigated a horrible crime, and with the help to others carried it out. When, he answered an ad for a yacht for sale. He and two others carried talked the lady and man owners into a cruise. Once out on the ocean Deleon and his two helpers subdued the two owners and quickly wrapped them in duct tape. The hysterical woman pleaded for their lives, but her efforts were in vain. The three murders quickly tied them to the yacht´s large anchor and let the anchor pull the helpless and screaming couple overboard to their certain watery deaths. It was a very horrendous couple of murders, but justice eventually took place. At the trial after all the evidence was presented, the jury members were overcome with emotion as they retreated to the deliberation room. All total 4 people were tried and convicted.
An 83 year old man and his 73 year old wife, both incapacitated, had their house up for sale in Santa Ana, California. A 34 year old man who had robbery on his mind answered the ad, shortly after he arrived, he quickly went into action. The male owner was stabbed 25 times with a steak knife in a very brute attack. The man´s wife put up a strong fight as she was stabbed 35 to 40 times. The frenzied attack left 2 incapacitated people dead. The killer then ransacked the house looking for money and valuables. The living room and walls were covered with blood. The killer was later caught as he left his DNA on a soda can. The murders were particularly horrific because of the many slashes and stab wounds.
Nowadays, there were seems to be no limit to the cruelty and extent of murderous attacks. And they happen quickly. It is a very bad sign for not only the present, but for the future as well. Thanks to DNA evidence many murders are being solved.

A Very Good Reason, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 107
A Very Good Reason
By
Roger Behra
Two dozen adult Americans were asked what might be a good reason for so many murders and various other serious crimes being committed in America culture. Some very good reasons were given, but none of the reasons included the one that is going to be discussed in this communication, because it is never mentioned in normal everyday conversation or the medical profession.
All 24 people were educated and successful, and most of them (18 people) agreed once the likely reason was brought to their attention, analyzed, and discussed during a two hour conversation. Several people in the conversation knew someone who fit the likely reason, because they had serious criminal problems to face in their lives.
The very likely reason for so many horrendous murders and outrages crimes, never mentioned in the media or normal conversation, is this. Far too many people in the modern world, young and older, do not believe in God or any kind of eternal life after earthly life is over. Far too many people do not believe that late in eternity they are going to be accountable and have to answer for all their thoughts, words, and actions throughout their lives, and that nothing is lost in the passage of time.
When a non-believer feels that no eternal accountability is in order, a whole different type of thinking comes into effect, and that thinking can lead to very criminal activity, which most likely occurs. The number of non-believers in America has increased during the past few years, and so have murders, serious assaults on other humans, and suicides, especially among teenagers. Non-believers very easily believe that they have nothing to lose later on. It is the many that God´s judgement and everything to lose with a bad judgement is also in order. Believers know that God´s graces help to keep their moral compasses pointed in the right direction. The well heard of statement, “but for the grace of God, there would I go.” That is well worth repeating here.
The percentage of Americans who do not practice religious living has increased by 12 percent. That brings the total of irreligious living to nearly 60 percent. The non-believer group increased, by 7 percent. That total is 15 percent. There is no wonder why so many horrifying murders and other crimes and immorality have greatly increased also. There is no wonder why America´s prisons are overflowing with so many hardcore criminals. The correlation is definitive and increasing, and very costly for the American culture.

Thinking Changes Are Needed, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 106
Thinking Changes Are Needed
By
Roger Behra
Along with the politicians and the court systems in America, nothing has ruined the American culture more than counterculture thinking and their philosophy of make up your own rules for daily living as you go from day to day. Their self-made rules have ruined so many lives and caused so much heartache and premature death for so very many. American jails and prisons are overflowing with people who have made up their own rules. Unfortunately, the many who abide by the established rules and regulations have to suffer in the deteriorated culture also.
Anyone who drives and auto and obeys the established rules of the road knows who much harder it is to get safely to one´s destination. And common rules of road politeness are just about non-existent, especially among the new young drivers. Many auto drivers are six feet under the earth because of their make-up your-own rules for driving.
When you are out in the market place doing ordinary business, those who were brought up to be polite and considerate know that common politeness, especially from the younger ones, is very much absent. There is no difference between human behavior and animal behavior. The older people have copied the young people it seems.
Have you noticed the out in public personal dress and look of people from day to day? Have you noticed how just plain awful looking men and boys look nowadays everywhere you go? Have you noticed how indecently women are dressed no matter where they are and even in church? Men look like circus animals with their spiked hair and hideous tattoos. Boys look like unkempt refugees from far off places with their spiked hair and droopy trousers and bare leg calfs showing. The indecent dress of women and girl is very obvious with their skin-tight blue jeans, miniskirts, excessive cleavage, and half bare breasts plainly visible.
Women go everywhere, even to church, dressed like that. There is no sense of appropriate dress behavior anymore. All those few who do dress properly seem out of place. But those few regard modern dress behavior as unsightly and immoral.
The entertainment industry has done a great deal towards polluting and ruining the American culture, because millions of America make their offerings part of their daily lives. As fans of entertainment they worship the entertainers as gods, when the entertainers give the wrong character and moral messages to the public. Entertainers set trends and behavior in very unacceptable directions. Co-habitation, babies out of wedlock, suggestible female attire, violence, cursing, and foul language from entertainers and copycats is unacceptable at all times.
Some of the very worst thinking comes from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. They now allow sexually active gays to become clergy and serve as ministers. That is unthinkable. But now it is a shameful reality.
All the ruinous and unacceptable thinking and behavior mentioned in this communication, plus the added bad thinking of politicians and the courts, have day by day over several decades severely polluted and corrupted America´s culture. The bad thinking and clueless counterculture people are totally incapable of understanding that just because something can be done that does not mean it should be done. All the indications are the prevailing thinking will, indeed, continue. There is not much hope foe change in America´s thinking, sadly to say, unless God intervenes. It can happen at anytime now or later. And that is a foregone conclusion.

This and That-Again, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 105
This and That-Again
By
Roger Behra
The Octuplets Saga
On January 27, 2009, an unwed woman with 6 children and no job and living with her parents in California used a sperm donor and gave birth to 8 babies, thanks to invitro-fertilization and fertility drugs. That, dear readers, is a grade A perfect example of counterculture cluelessness. A large amount of cluelessness goes to the doctor who originated the situation and allowed it to happen, after she was turned down by several hospitals. Now what? The hospital bill is estimated to be close to 300,000 dollars. The children are expected to have numerous physical problems, such as breathing, digestive, growth, hearing, and vision. The mother is clearly a wrong thinking person. She is not only clueless. She borders on brainless. And the doctor´s ethics show a complete lack of correctness and common sense. The whole episode was irresponsible and outrages to say the least.
Obama´s Bad Decisions
It is becoming more and more clear U.S. President Obama is not qualified to lead the United States. His hasty executive orders that fact. His executive orders the overturn ex-President´s that were working very well are a clear example. One executive order is going to add nearly $2000 dollars to the cost a new car in California. His health care plan+entitlements+taxing the rich=mathematical disaster. And to make matters worse, he has the congress in place to carry out his political plans. America is in for a very rough ride and will never be the same. Please stay tuned.
Help Stop Gang Activity
When a person is threatened by a gang member, the person should not feel intimidated taking corrective action. Do not become scared. Instead seek the help of the police. One of the police´s goals is to really clamp down on gang activity. And if life is threatened, that is an arrestable offence. When good law-abiding citizens remain silent, the gang members become emboldened and continue their gang offences. It takes courage and action. It is the only way to correct the situation.
Obama´s Economy Stimulus Bill
The stimuli bill that Obama got passed through Congress is a very bad bill for several reasons, because it will not stimulate the economy at all. It was poorly designed. It will take to long to stimulate. And then the stimulation will be in wrong direction. It narrows down to a power grab and to enlarge the power of the federal government.
What need to be done was to go back to the drawing board and give the power to the consumer. It worked that way in the past. The consumer would have gotten the job done, and much faster, also. As it is now, it´s loaded with government power, and that is very bad on top of the lack of simulation. The country does not need the present trillion dollar mistake by the U.S. Government. As past President Ronald Regan said long ago, “The government is not the answer. The government is the problem.” That still stands today.

En este día 16 de Noviembre se celebró en el Santoral Católico a Santa Gertrudis la Grande y a Santa Margarita de Escocia, pero ¿Cómo anda la polémica de la influenza A (H1N1)?
Tópicos Culturales ha informado a su comunidad de lectores sobre la Influenza A (H1N1), considerando las publicaciones autorizadas por la OMS y la Secretaria de Salud en México. [1].
Para los estudiosos de la Ética, Bioética y las distintas disciplinas científicas ha aumentado la polémica en el tema de la influenza A (H1 N1); tenemos dos ejemplos muy interesantes con una valiente opinión de excelencia, y con fundamento científico: la Monja Benedictina Teresa Forcades, Medica y Dra. en Salud Pública, quién hace un análisis histórico, sintético y reflexivo [2], y la Dra. Rauna Leeda Kilde, quién denuncia la intención de la “élite del mundo” por acabar con las dos terceras partes de la población mundial. [3].
Les invito a ver sus documentales [Cf. 2,3] para reflexionar y estar bien informados al respecto; después que vea los documentales, la pregunta obligada es: ¿Usted qué opina?

Santa Teresita del Niño de Jesús, Por Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Santa Teresita del Niño de Jesús
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Santa Teresita del Niño de Jesús (1873-1897+), fue el nombre religioso de Teresita Martin, quién a la edad de 15 años ingreso al Convento Carmelita de Lisieux Francia, y por ello, se le conoce también con el nombre de Santa Teresita de Lisieux o mejor conocida como la Florecita de Jesús. Nació Enero 2 de 1873, en Alençon, cuidad de Normandía, Francia. Muere en Lisieux en Septiembre 30 de 1897, a la edad de 24 años. Sus padres fueron Luis Martin y Celia Guérin, quienes por su vida católica ejemplar, el Sumo Sacerdote Papa Benedicto XVI los declaró santos de la Iglesia, el día 19 de Octubre de 2008.
Santa Teresita de Lisieux, en Mayo 17 de 1925, fue solemnemente canonizada por el Papa Pío XI, quién la llamó “Estrella de mi pontificado” y la definió como “Un huracán de gloria”, fue declarada “Patrona Universal de las Misiones en 1927. A 52 años de su canonización, fue proclamada “Doctora de la Iglesia” el 19 de Octubre de 1997, en el Día de las Misiones, por el Papa Juan Pablo II.
Tres meses antes de morir, Santa Teresita la Flor de Jesús, dijo en un día que ella se pasaría haciendo el bien en la tierra, y del cielo haría caer una "lluvia de rosas". Su presentimiento se realizó. Muy poco después de su muerte, curaciones y conversiones en gran número fueron obtenidas gracias a su intercesión. Santa Teresita nos dice, en su obra "Historia de un Alma" que el éxito de una vida no consiste en la importancia, ni en el éxito de las obras que hemos realizado, sino en el valor del amor con el que nos hemos entregado a todas esas actividades.
Muchas Congregaciones del mundo viven la espiritualidad de Santa Teresita del Niño de Jesús. Su fiesta solemne se celebra el 1° de Octubre.
Paz y Bien

Tópicos Culturales ARCD Editor, envía el más sensible pésame a nuestro Colaborador, amigo y familiar Roger Behra, por la lamentable pérdida de su esposa y compañera de vida †Yolanda Behra, quién también colaboraba con nosotros. Recordándola por su vida ejemplar y desinteresada a los demás, tanto como catedrática en cursos de español, inglés, francés y apoyo extraacadémico a quienes lo requerían, como fueron niños y niñas de norteamericanos, mexicanos y latinos. Su desprendimiento en la búsqueda de la verdad, lo demostró siempre con Obras de Bondad y Gratuidad, profesando siempre la Religión Católica, por la Dignificación de la Persona Humana y el Bien Común.
Se transcribirá, como un recuerdo, un Reconocimiento hecho en vida, de sus alumnos de 3° G; 3° H y 3° J, que se le fue entregado a finales del año 1995:
RECONOCIMIENTO
Profesora Yolanda Garnica y Dovala (Yolanda Behra)
Por eso cuando vuelva y algún día será a mi tierra, a mis gentes, a mi cielo.
Ojalá que el ladrillo que a puro riesgo traje para mostrar al mundo como era mi casa dure como mis duras devociones y quede como ladrillo en otra casa.
Así sus conocimientos quedarán guardados en mi alma.

Warped Counterculture Thinking, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 104
Warped Counterculture Thinking
By
Roger Behra
Ever since the counterculture movement took effect in the middle nineteen-six-ties, the thinking of people has taken nearly a U-turn, and that has lead to much bent, twisted, and strange thinking about many important things. That fact has come to the forefront very recently. Let that fact; now be explained, because counterculture thinking has greatly changed, the culture in America.
Recently, a well known National Football League quarterback (Michael Vick) has been constantly in the mass media news once again. He just completed his prison sentence for mistreating dogs over a period of six years. The revelation of the mistreatment was a very disturbing story about how his group of friends let dogs fight to severe mauling. Some dogs who were timid were hanged from trees. Others were held under water to their deaths. Still others were hosed with water and then electrocuted with jumper cables. The mistreatment was gross and wrong and unacceptable at any time.
At the time all the facts concerning the mistreatment and deaths of the dogs unfolded in the media mainstream media reacted justifiably with great disgust. The hullabaloo was loud and continuous. How could anyone get so greatly involved in such a cruel pastime to such a degree? The media clearly and loudly made it known that the fighting to the death of the dogs, and the other mistreatments were so distasteful and disgusting!
The media was very correct in making their loud voices known against Mr. Vick. But that leads to a very big question and how the media is guilty of warped counterculture thinking. And the answer is very clear and simple. And all those who have their moral compasses pointed in the right direction will completely understand.
How can the mainstream media be so loud and clear against Mr. Vick's activities off the football field, but so quiet and unconcerned in regards to ABORTION over the past three and one-half decades? 0ver 30 million innocent babies have been murdered alone in America since the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in 1973. The silence and unconcern of the media aids and abets all the unnecessary abortions that occur everywhere in America. Where are the loud voices of the media? Where is the hullabaloo against the wanton destruction of an innocent life before it is ever started? It is the silence of the media that is so disturbing and disgusting and distasteful and WARPED.
The mass media is full of counterculture liberal people. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that the silence in regards to abortion continues. In the Vick case in essence the loud and clear message is this: animals, dogs in his case, are more worthy of life and respect than innocent and helpless little babies. Animals are more worthy than humans, and that murder of little humans does not count. It is going to be a lasting part of the counterculture legacy, indeed. The media silence is what is so distasteful and disgusting. And no matter how it' s spun, abortion is outright murder pure and simple.
There are many individuals involved in abortions. But the silence and unconcern of all the media helps abortions to continue. And it is a real tribute to the warped thinking of counterculture people. Just because abortions are legal is no excuse for the media to remain unconcerned and silent. It is also a trait of the counterculture people, as clueless as they are that just because something can be done that does not mean it should be done. The media outcry against Michael Vick was and still is justified, but the warped thinking and silence of the media in regards to abortion is purely not.

Evil Spirits Do Exist, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 103
Evil Spirits Do Exist
By
Roger Behra
It is absolutely incredible, with all the evidence available, how many people deny the existence of evil spirits, demonic activity, and demonic possession. There are Catholic Bishops. Catholic priests, and medical professionals who do the denying. Millions of ordinary people also deny. All of this denying is inspite of the evidence that evil spirits do exist. There is the Bible. There are tapes of certified exorcisms and the victims of demonic possession as proof. There are dozens of books published over a long period of time as proof also.
Recently, March, 2009 a most interesting book on the subject of exorcisms’ has been published. The Rite Making of a Modern Exorcist, Matt Baglio, is a most interesting and must read on the subject of exorcisms. The book very accurately tells the effects of demonic activity, demonic possession, and what they do to individuals and a culture. The book also reveals that the Catholic Church is now teaching a course in Rome to select and appointed Catholic priests the correct rite of exorcisms. The exorcism has to be very properly and accurately performed to avoid harm to possessed and/or the exorcist. Not just anyone can perform an exorcism. And the need for exorcisms has increased dramatically in our modern times.
Matt's book reveals without a doubt that evil spirits do exist, and that they are at the root of horrendous crimes and unbelievable evil that exists in today's world. It tells of the unbelievable, unimaginable, and frightening things evil spirits alone can do, and how they work through human beings. Evil spirits are examples of the purest hatred imaginable, and they are always ready to unleash their hatred in the physical world of today. The proof is all around us. We read about it in the paper and hear about it daily on television and radio.
Demonic behavior through a person mimics mental illness. And when extensive and thorough medical attention cannot pinpoint the cause, the request is made for an exorcism. The trained priest exorcist has ways of establishing if demonic activity or possession is the cause. If so, the priest exorcist takes the case. What has been established is the fact that demonic activity and possession is far more prevalent than one can imagine.
Evil spirits never miss an opportunity to use their hatred toward God and His Blessed Mother Mary. And they do that through human behavior. Some of the most horrendous and purely hateful crimes committed are a direct result of the pure hate they wish to express. And they do that through human sinfulness. Especially avoid the occult, ouigi boards, satanic rituals, black magic, and hate toward one's neighbor. Pure hate was expressed during the Charles Manson murders, the Zodiac killings, and the Wayne Gacy murders of teenage boys. The murders on the yacht, where the owners were tied to the anchor and thrown overboard and the freeway murders, where numerous bodies over a long period of time were found on freeway off ramps are good examples of pure hate.
You will be safe from the clutches of evil and the sponsors of evil if you turn to God and keep His commandments and pray often. Evil spirits have no chance of penetrating all that armor. Thanks be to God a very large number of people do the good and proper things just mentioned. They are a credit to God, themselves, and their culture.

How Evil Takes Over, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 102
How Evil Takes Over
By
Roger Behra
In our modern world there is plenty of good going on. The mass media, however, is very slow to inform us. The media seems to concentrate on all the evil things, and there is plenty of evil going on also, especially since the counterculture movement started in the mid-sixties and took over greatly with the descendants of the original counterculture people. In our present cultures it is much harder to avoid and overcome evil, because there are more forms of evil, and it is so much more readily accepted everywhere.
Many people become victims of obsession. An obsession is an extreme , unhealthy interest in something, or worry about something, which stops a person from thinking about anything else. Obsessive behavior is not good, although it may not be considered evil. However, far too many people succumb to obsession in general and to obsession that leads to an evil outcome in particular .because of social influences and influences from their friends. And once a person becomes obsessed, if it is toward evil, the person quickly becomes mired in evil and unable to correct obsessive and evil behavior, which follows a set pattern.
In order to avoid the clutches of evil obsession, it is very important to recognize it as an obsession and nip the tendency toward it in the bud. Otherwise a set process will take over, and that can be and usually has a very serious outcome. Most people do not know the pattern that leads to serious evil taking over in a life.
The set pattern that leads to serious evil can develop quickly or over a longer period of time. The pattern is this: OBSESSION, INFLUENCE, ACTIVITY, AFFLICTION, IMPERFECT POSSESSION, and PERFECT POSSESSION. The pattern can be stopped before affliction. When affliction begins, an evil entity is involved, and that is the point where the evil takes on the seriousness of the activity, and the intervention of a priest or minister is needed. If the pattern enters the stage of imperfect possession, the evil entity has to be exorcised by a Catholic priest. If the pattern has developed into perfect possession (consent by the person was given to the evil entity), it is too late. Perfect possession cannot be exorcised.
Obsession is a fixed idea from which the mind cannot be freed without very, very strong willpower and/or God's help. Influence is a power that gains an effect on the mind and thinking. Influence can be from social activity, a friend, or direct-from an evil entity. Obsession and influence leads to activity, which is action toward something being done. If the person does not take serious action and steps to get off the obsession- influence-activity path quickly, the evil action involved will lead to affliction. And that causes suffering and grief and the entrance into one's life of an evil entity. Evil entities are slick and cunning and very eager to enter a life with trickery and lies. They gain control of a person's will and thinking, and that leads easily to imperfect and/or imperfect possession. And that is the most serious of outcomes .Outside help is always a certain necessity.
The major activities that start the pattern of serious evil which controls lives are sex, drugs, alcohol, greed, Ouija boards, witchcraft, occult, covens, and devil worship. These are absolute door openers for Satan and his helpers, who bring lies, deceit, and trickery into a person's life. And everything starts with obsession that leads to evil taking over in a person's life. Avoidance starts with God's friendship, graces, guidance, and protection. Pray often for these. Try it. God and His help work wonders, and He is always eager to help. Always.

Signs of Demonic Possession, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 101
Signs of Demonic Possession
By
Roger Behra
On July 17, 2009, Michael Dee Mattson died after spending 29 years on death row at San Quentin State Prison. What makes Mattson the topic of this communication is the clear fact that he was a classic example of pure evil. Mattson was on death row after he was sentenced to death in 1980 for killing two Southern California girls. One was a 9-year-old girl, and the other was a 16-year-old teenager. He confessed later to raping as many as 15 girls. His sentence was justifiable after confessing to kidnapping, raping, and murder. All of that was serious criminal and evil activity.
What makes this a noteable case is this. The detective, Mr. Pat Dingle, who helped harden the case against Mattson, interviewed him in his prison cell. And in the words of detective Dingle is the following statement. "The first time I saw him sitting in a cell, the hair on the back of my neck stood up. I knew immediately he was pure evil. He never showed remorse. He could sit on your chest, strangle you, twist a tourniquet around your neck, watch you die, and then eat a sandwich." Dingle had the intense feeling that he was sitting near undeniably pure evil. He accurately sensed that from the look in Mattson's eyes and the condition of Mattson's face along with the conversation. Dingle's sense about Mattson was 100% accurate. Mattson was pure evil.
In the book, Hostage to the Devil, by Malachi Martin, Malachi reveals that it is absolutely and accurately possible to know and feel that an evil spirit is in possession of a human being. The telltale signs are revealed in the possessed person's eyes and taut condition of the face. The eyes emit pure evil, and the condition of the face is such that it is never that way in an unpossessed person. The eyes and face are clear indications that an evil spirit is in possession of the person's spirit. Another indication is the fact no remorse is ever shown for the evil acts committed. There are other indications, such as, tone of voice, contempt, anger, coldness.
Malachi Martin was a practicing exorcist as a Catholic priest for over 30 years. He knew of and revealed accurately in his book what is true and exact about evil spirits and demonic possession. He had many very frightening and shocking experiences during his exorcisms. Therefore , it is correct to assume that Mattson was in the clutches of an evil spirit as he sat in his prison cell in conversation with detective Dingle, who had a keen sense that evil was certainly present. But detective Dingle probably was not aware that it was a case of demonic possession. He sensed the pure evil, but he most likely did not connect all the dots. Perhaps, Dingle did after the fact, as he searched for an answer for the overwhelming sense of the pure essence of evil that existed in Mattson's cell.

School Problem Number One, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 100
School Problem Number One
By
Roger Behra
The public school systems throughout America are beset with major problems of great concern from many directions. These problems cause schools to fail their annual ratings, failing academic results, high dropout rates, lower graduation rates, and very qualified teachers to leave the teaching profession. They leave because their lesson preparation time and their classroom teaching time has become more and more limited. But the one problem along with these two that rests at the top of the pile is STUDENT DISCIPLINE.
Let us take a visit to most public school elementary, middle, or high school classrooms in just about any city in America. But, first, prepare yourself for some important factors that are not readily reported by the mass media. Also, keep in mind it is the public schools. Private schools are a different and altogether much better situation, and thankfully so.
The first thing noticed is how used the physical environment in far too many American schools is, especially in poorer small towns and cities. The boy's washrooms are pathetic. Once the students enter the building and classroom you will notice that environment is not likely to produce good discipline. Over-crowding is very apparent, which provides a tense atmosphere, as desks are arranged very close to each other. And that is the spark that ignites discipline problems.
Because of the overcrowding students are easily inattentive and talk between themselves, which is very disruptive to the teacher. When the teacher tries to maintaine a conducive teaching and learning situation, valuable time is lost trying to control discipline. Stern measures have to be used, especially if a student leaves the seat.
During the times when discipline is a problem a student is asked to leave the classroom on many occasions. Many times the student refuses, and that leads to a very disruptive situation. Physical contact often takes place. The physical contact can take place between another student or between a teacher and a student. In most cases the physical contact is between a teacher and a student. The following are some examples of just that.
A 14-year-old Texas school boy died when he refused to stay in his seat. As a result the teacher wrestled him to the floor and lay on top of him. In California a 1 year old girl ended up on the floor and sat on. She was restrained and secluded from the rest of the class. In another case in Illinois an 8 year old hyperactive boy was bound to a chair and his mouth taped shut. When physical contact isn't the case, verbal abuse from student to teacher is the case. Cursing, and obscene words, and threats are common. And the teacher has to be careful that his/her auto is not later damaged. Yes, all these things happen because discipline is a very great problem in American schools. In general there is great concern about the safety of the teachers and students while trying to maintain a very positive and successful classroom learning environment.
Maintaining good discipline is absolutely necessary in order to have a safe and positive learning experience and school in general.lt is the number one problem.
It is true that some teachers are poor at maintaining good discipline. Their services are short lived.
The overwhelming reason schools are burdened with great discipline problems is no discipline is taught in the homes. Unless that changes, schools will see no relief in their number one problem. That is as clear as clean crystal. No discipline in the homes equals no discipline in the schools,

But, first, prepare yourself for some important factors that are not readily reported by the mass media. Also, keep in mind it is the public schools. Private schools are a different and altogether much better situation, and thankfully so.
The first thing noticed is how used the physical environment in far too many American schools is, especially in poorer small towns and cities. The boy's washrooms are pathetic. Once the students enter the building and classroom you will notice that environment is not likely to produce good discipline. Over-crowding is very apparent, which provides a tense atmosphere, as desks are arranged very close to each other. And that is the spark that ignites discipline problems.
Because of the overcrowding students are easily inattentive and talk between themselves, which is very disruptive to the teacher. When the teacher tries to maintaine a conducive teaching and learning situation, valuable time is lost trying to control discipline. Stern measures have to be used, especially if a student leaves the seat.
During the times when discipline is a problem a student is asked to leave the classroom on many occasions. Many times the student refuses, and that leads to a very disruptive situation. Physical contact often takes place. The physical contact can take place between another student or between a teacher and a student. In most cases the physical contact is between a teacher and a student. The following are some examples of just that.
A 14-year-old Texas school boy died when he refused to stay in his seat. As a result the teacher wrestled him to the floor and lay on top of him. In California a 1 year old girl ended up on the floor and sat on. She was restrained and secluded from the rest of the class. In another case in Illinois an 8 year old hyperactive boy was bound to a chair and his mouth taped shut. When physical contact isn't the case, verbal abuse from student to teacher is the case. Cursing, and obscene words, and threats are common. And the teacher has to be careful that his/her auto is not later damaged. Yes, all these things happen because discipline is a very great problem in American schools. In general there is great concern about the safety of the teachers and students while trying to maintain a very positive and successful classroom learning environment.
Maintaining good discipline is absolutely necessary in order to have a safe and positive learning experience and school in general.lt is the number one problem.
It is true that some teachers are poor at maintaining good discipline. Their services are short lived.
The overwhelming reason schools are burdened with great discipline problems is no discipline is taught in the homes. Unless that changes, schools will see no relief in their number one problem. That is as clear as clean crystal. No discipline in the homes equals no discipline in the schools,

Results of Demonic Activity

Every minute of every day has to be spent doing good things and avoiding evil things. That means we have to keep God and what He expects of us foremost in our minds and actions. When we are negligent in this respect, evil is always there to start a takeover. And that is what happened to the people in the following very sad events. Satan and his demon helpers were definitely hard at work there.
There are several trials going on in the state of California at present. Four trials involve horrendous murders, and one trial involves a person who is accused of bribery, and trading power for money and on the side was involved in marital infidelity. God was clearly absent from these lives, and Satan and his demon helpers were certainly present.
The Skylar Deleon murders top the list. He talked a man into lending him $50,000 dollars, and then he killed the man. He slashed the man's throat and left the man to die beside a highway. At a later date Skylar pretended to be interested in buying a 55 foot luxury yacht and talked the owners into taking him for a cruise. On the cruise, Skylar and two friends subdued the lady and man yacht owners and wrapped duct tape around them. Then they tied the owners to the 65 lb, anchor and threw them overboard, after they were forced to sign over the yacht. The owners begged in tears for their lives, but their efforts were futile. A jury and judge sentenced the three men to death. The case is on appeal. That was pure evil.
The Long Beach murders of 6 people (4 men & 2 women) were also very gruesome. Five were killed at the same time with multiple gunshot wounds and then dumped off a freeway ramp. The sixth was a homeless man on the street. He was quickly doused with gasoline and set on fire. The two young culprits ran away so fast that hardly anyone got a clear sense of what was happening until they heard the screams and saw the flames. The homeless man was well known in the area. He a nice man who never caused trouble. It was a complete shock that something like that could happen in broad daylight and so quickly. That was more pure evil.
The United States Marine murders took place at Riverside, California. Four marines killed a newlywed marine couple in cold blood, seemingly, because a white male marine wed a black female marine. The murder was planned over a short period of time. Later it was learned the murdered male marine was the superior of two of the murderers. More shocking, pure evil.
Many people know about the Phil Spector episode of murder. He is accused of killing actress Lana Clarson with a gunshot through her mouth. He said she killed herself, but the evidence says it is not so. Spector has a history of mouthing streams of obscenities and pointing a gun on women who decide to leave HIS residence. Several women witnesses testified to that at his trial. This was celebrity pure evil.
Mike Corona, the ex-sheriff, who had to resign because of multiple allegations against him, was a total embarrassment for law enforcement. Several allegations were against him as sheriff, and one (marital infidelity) was against him personally. The marital infidelity was true, but only one, which was taped, entered his record. The tape contained large amounts of obscene conversation and other in-formation that convicted him. A very high law official greatly demeaned his office and himself doing evil things.
Demonic activity takes many forms. But the end result is still evil activity that harms the individuals as well as the culture. lt is so common nowadays. It is as common as chewing bubble gum.

El Valor de la Libertad en una Canción, Por Angel R. Cepeda D.
El Valor de la Libertad en una Canción
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
La Libertad es un derecho natural de la Persona Humana, y podría entenderse como la capacidad de elección entre el bien y el mal responsablemente. La Libertad es un valor que todos reconocemos, pero una gran minoría no sabemos defender, o del cual podemos abusar. Gracias a la libertad podemos realizar aspiraciones: lograr un mejor nivel de vida, formar a los hijos para que aprendan a tomar mejores decisiones, buscar un lugar adecuado para vivir, participar de manera activa en beneficio de la sociedad, llevar una vida congruente con la moral y la ética en todo el quehacer profesional, buscar una educación de calidad, libertad de cátedra e investigación....pero estos son los efectos de la libertad, no la libertad misma. [1].
La Libertad en una canción por ejemplo la de Nana Mouskouri [2], nos invita a la inspiración y reflexión.
Paz y Bien

Oraciones de San Francisco de Asís, Por Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Oraciones de San Francisco de Asís
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
San Francisco de Asís es un santo místico, por su amor a la naturaleza como se menciona en la Oración de Cántico de las Criaturas, mejor conocida como Hermano Sol y Hermana Luna. El día de hoy 4 de Octubre, se celebra su fiesta en su honor, y tambiel Día Mundial de los Animales. [1].
San Francisco es conocido como el hombre que más se asemejó a Cristo, «el primero después del único», como el hermano universal, como un hombre de paz y de reconciliación, como el Poverello, el amante de los pobres, el cantor de la creación. Es verdad. Pero Francisco de Asís es ante todo un místico, un verdadero contemplativo, un enamorado de Cristo, pobre y crucificado. Francisco no es solo un hombre que reza, sino, como dice su biógrafo Tomás de Celano, es un «hombre hecho oración». La presencia de Dios lo transfigura, hasta convertirlo en «otro Cristo».[2].
Las quince oraciones de San Francisco de Asís son:
1. Oración ante el Cristo de San Damián
2. Saludo a las virtudes
3. Saludo a la bienaventurada Virgen María
4. Alabanzas al Dios altísimo
5. Cántico de las criaturas
6. Alabanzas que se han de decir en todas las horas
7. Exhortación a la alabanza a Dios
8. Paráfrasis del Padrenuestro
9. Te adoramos
10. Oficio de la Pasión del Señor
11. Oración a la Trinidad
12. Invitación a restituir todos los bienes al Señor
13. Oración y acción de gracias
14. Feliz quien ama al Señor
15. Benedición al hermano León
Paz y Bien

San Francisco de Asís (1181-1226). Santo de origen italiano, diácono, fundador de la Orden Franciscana y de una segunda orden conocida como «Hermanas Clarisas», nombre en honor a Santa Clara [1], ambas Ordenes surgieron con la autoridad de la Iglesia Católica en la Edad Media. El Papa Gregorio IX, canoniza a San Francisco Asís el 16 de Julio de 1228. Se celebra su fiesta en su honor el 4 de Octubre y numerosas iglesias en el mundo es de observancia la Bendición de los Animales y del Medio Ambiente. [2].
El 4 de octubre fue elegido originalmente para esta festividad del Día Mundial de los Animales, porque es el día festivo de San Francisco de Asís, llamado también cariñosamente como San Panchito, quién fue y es considerado amante de la naturaleza y santo protector de los animales y medioambiente. Por su amor a la vida de los animales, como el lobo y las aves, San Francisco, es considerado como patrono de los agricultores ganaderos, veterinarios y ecologistas, por algo se escogió que el Día Mundial de los Animales se celebrara cada año el día 4 de octubre desde que en Florencia, Italia de 1931, en una convención de ecologistas se estableció este día como celebración de la diversidad de la vida animal.

La Suave Patria de Ramón López Velarde, Por Angel R. Cepeda D.
La Suave Patria de Ramón López Velarde
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala.
En este mes de la Patria, cómo no recordar el pensamiento poético del Católico Ramón López Velarde originario del Estado de Zacatecas, quién fue un personaje que apoyó valientemente al Coahuilense Francisco I. Madero en la Revolución Mexicana de 1910, movimiento que se celebrará el próximo 20 de Noviembre. Velarde publicó escritos en revistas promovidas por el Ministro de Educación José Vasconcelos en 1920, año en que escribió su poema más famoso: “La Suave Patria”, razón por lo que fue considerado como poeta nacional de México.
La Suave Patria de Ramón López Velarde
PROEMIO
Yo que sólo canté de la exquisita
partitura del íntimo decoro,
alzo hoy la voz a la mitad del foro,
a la manera del tenor que imita
la gutural modulación del bajo,
para cortar a la epopeya un gajo.
Navegaré por las olas civiles
con remos que no pesan, porque van
como los brazos del correo chuan
que remaba la Mancha con fusiles.
Diré con una épica sordina:
la patria es impecable y diamantina.
Suave Patria: permite que te envuelva
en la más honda música de selva
con que me modelaste por entero
al golpe cadencioso de las hachas,
entre risas y gritos de muchachas
y pájaros de oficio carpintero.
PRIMER ACTO
Patria: tu superficie es el maíz,
tus minas el palacio del Rey de Oros,
y tu cielo, las garzas en desliz
y el relámpago verde de los loros.
El Niño Dios te escrituró un establo
y los veneros de petróleo el diablo.
Sobre tu Capital, cada hora vuela
ojerosa y pintada, en carretela;
y en tu provincia, del reloj en vela
que rondan los palomos colipavos,
las campanadas caen como centavos.
Patria: tu mutilado territorio
se viste de percal y de abalorio.
Suave Patria: tu casa todavía
es tan grande, que el tren va por la vía
como aguinaldo de juguetería.
Y en el barullo de las estaciones,
con tu mirada de mestiza, pones
la inmensidad sobre los corazones.
¿Quién, en la noche que asusta a la rana,
no miró, antes de saber del vicio,
del brazo de su novia, la galana
pólvora de los fuegos de artificio?
Suave Patria: en tu tórrido festín
luces policromías de delfín,
y con tu pelo rubio se desposa
el alma, equilibrista chuparrosa,
y a tus dos trenzas de tabaco, sabe
ofrendar aguamiel toda mi briosa
raza de bailadores de jarabe.
Tu barro suena a plata, y en tu puño
su sonora miseria de alcancía;
y por las madrugadas del terruño,
en calles como espejos, se vacía
el santo olor de la panadería.
Cuando nacemos, nos regalas notas,
después, un paraíso de compotas,
y luego te regalas toda entera,
suave Patria, alacena y pajarera.
Al triste y al feliz dices que sí,
que en tu lengua de amor prueben de ti
la picadura del ajonjolí.
¡Y tu cielo nupcial, que cuando truena,
de deleites frenéticos nos llena!
Trueno de nuestras nubes, que nos baña
de locura, enloquece a la montaña,
requiebra a la mujer, sana al lunático,
incorpora a los muertos, pide el viático,
y al fin derrumba las madererías
de Dios, sobre las tierras labrantías.
Trueno del temporal: oigo en tus quejas
crujir los esqueletos en parejas;
oigo lo que se fue, lo que aún no toco,
y la hora actual con su vientre de coco.
Y oigo en el brinco de tu ida y venida,
¡oh trueno, la ruleta de mi vida!
INTERMEDIO
(Cuauhtémoc)
Joven abuelo: escúchame loarte
único héroe a la altura del arte.
Anacrónicamente, absurdamente,
a tu nopal inclínase el rosal;
al idioma del blanco, tú lo imantas
y es surtidor de católica fuente
que de responsos llena el victorial
zócalo de ceniza de tus plantas.
No como a César el rubor patricio
te cubre el rostro en medio del suplicio:
tu cabeza desnuda se nos queda,
hemisféricamente, de moneda.
Moneda espiritual en que se fragua
todo lo que sufriste: la piragua
prisionera, el azoro de tus crías,
el sollozar de tus mitologías,
la Malinche, los ídolos a nado,
y por encima, haberte desatado
del pecho curvo de la emperatriz
como del pecho de una codorniz.
SEGUNDO ACTO
Suave Patria: tú vales por el río
de las virtudes de tu mujerío.
Tus hijas atraviesan como hadas,
o destilando un invisible alcohol,
vestidas con las redes de tu sol,
cruzan como botellas alambradas.
Suave Patria: te amo no cual mito,
sino por tu verdad de pan bendito
como a niña que asoma por la reja
con la blusa corrida hasta la oreja
y la falda bajada hasta el huesito.
Inaccesible al deshonor, floreces:
creeré en ti, mientras una mexicana
en su tápalo lleve los dobleces
de la tienda, a las seis de la mañana,
y al estrenar su lujo, quede lleno
el país, del aroma del estreno.
Como la sota moza, Patria mía,
en piso de metal, vives al día,
de milagro, como la lotería.
Tu imagen, el Palacio Nacional,
con tu misma grandeza y con tu igual
estatura de niño y de dedal.
Te dará, frente al hambre y al obús,
un higo San Felipe de Jesús.
Suave Patria: vendedora de chía:
quiero raptarte en la cuaresma opaca,
sobre un garañón, y con matraca,
y entre los tiros de la policía.
Tus entrañas no niegan un asilo
para el ave que el párvulo sepulta
en una caja de carretes de hilo,
y nuestra juventud, llorando, oculta
dentro de ti, el cadáver hecho poma
de aves que hablan nuestro mismo idioma.
Si me ahogo en tus julios, a mí baja
desde el vergel de tu peinado denso,
frescura de rebozo y de tinaja:
y si tirito, dejas que me arrope
en tu respiración azul de incienso
y en tus carnosos labios de rompope.
Por tu balcón de palmas bendecidas
el Domingo de Ramos, yo desfilo
lleno de sombras, porque tú trepidas.
Quieren morir tu ánima y tu estilo,
cual muriéndose van las cantadoras
que en las ferias, con el bravío pecho
empitonando la camisa, han hecho
la lujuria y el ritmo de las horas.
Patria, te doy de tu dicha la clave:
sé siempre igual, fiel a tu espejo diario;
cincuenta veces es igual el Ave
taladrada en el hilo del rosario,
y es más feliz que tú, Patria suave.
Sé igual y fiel; pupilas de abandono;
sedienta voz, la trigarante faja
en tus pechugas al vapor; y un trono
la carreta alegórica de paja.
