The Boomers’ Almighty Gods
By
Roger Behra
In America the Boomers are considered to be the 1946-1964 generation and their clueless descendants. The 1946-1964 generation started the counter-culture movement in the United States, which also spread to other countries as well. It was an ill-fated movement as history has recorded it to this day. That movement has drastically altered American culture. And the descendants of the Boomers have carried the movement on and even added to the movement original philosophies, very sadly to say.
The original Boomer philosophy was “to throw out the old, bring in the new ways of living.” And that included from the start pushing God and acceptable ways of morality out of daily living. To a great degree they were quite successful in doing just that. And to a very great and culturally destructive degree they replaced God and acceptable morality with the constant, earnest, and non-stop pursuit of money and sex. Now, at this point, you have added two and two and have correctly concluded that the Gods of the Boomers are, yes, money and sex. And if you keep up with current events, you have also concluded that the results of those two pursuits are quite appalling and destructive to the once great American culture.
The first on the two Gods was sex, because the Boomer generation was young, virile, and not yet really focused on money. But money soon became a pursuit as this generation quickly moved aside the acceptable rules of morality in regards to sexual behavior. It did not take long. And it has evolved into today’s appalling moral behavior-increased prostitution, co-habitation without marriage, mistress for married men, a very high degree of sexually transmitted diseases, aids, acceptance of homosexual sex, and plenty of extra-marital affairs that help to increase the divorce rate. The Boomer generation put acceptable morality in the trash can.
Very soon to follow the sexual revolution come the ever increasing and intense obsession and pursuit of money. And that led to greed and very poor decisions and many failures in money matters. As a result there are foreclosed houses, bank failures, a very poor economy, and inflation out-stripping wages, extreme costs of food, health care, rents, houses, autos, and basic necessities.
Now, the 1946-1964 generation is ready to retire or is retiring, and they are crying big crocodile tears and singing the blues. Why? Because it is very EXPENSIVE out there! And it is too late to change things for the better. The seeds they sowed have blossomed fully and have come around to overshadow them and their future. While the Boomers obsessively pursued sex and money, they remained clueless about what they were really doing to themselves down the road. Instead of God, proper morality, and common sense remaining part of their progressing years, they paved a rough road for them to travel when, now, they are most in need of a much better older age and a happier retirement. That is the revenge of the God they neglected and pushed out of their younger lives. And their descendants are following firmly in their footsteps.

Satan’s Favorite Instruments

Satan’s Favorite Instruments
By
Roger Behra
In communication #26 I recorded Satan’s Instruments. In this communication I am going to write about Satan’s favorite instruments. And he has many.
Among those recorded in #26 Satan has several that delight him very much, some that give him endless joy for reasons that will be explained here. Morally grounded persons already have a good idea which ones, and they will wholeheartedly agree.
As I list them here, I shall tell why they are Satan’s very delightful instruments.
1. Abortion. Since 1973 when Roe vs. Wade went into effect in the United States more than 50,000,000 abortions have taken place with no end in sight in the U.S.A. Can you imagine how joyous Satan must be at that figure as it continues to mount? All those souls never had the chance to love God, be productive in society, and be a comfort for people. And so many women who have regretted their murderous decision and carry that mental burden to rest of their lives.
2. Pornography. On the internet and in magazines in stores have become a great and serious addictions in the lives of men, young children, teen-agers, and even women. It degrades human sexuality, and it is gravely sinful. Another great joy to Satan.
3. Co-habitation. Has become so acceptable, couples living and sinning together outside of marriage. It makes a mockery of the sacrament of matrimony, and leads to divorce in many cases should the couples marry later on.
4. Teen-age Sex. Has increased dramatically since internet pornography came into our homes. And the accompanying worst part is the increase in teen abortions. Pornography, teen sex, and teen abortions are a triple victory for Satan. He and his helpers win big time.
5. Entertainment. Music, movies, television are part of the life of millions of people, especially young people’s lives. The obscene lyrics, the profanity, the hate towards God, the glorifying of sex on television and in movies enter so many people homes, and it’s on a daily basis. What a great victory for Satan and his helpers.
6. Women’s Manner of Dress. Is obscene. Their skin-tight jeans, excessive cleavage, the top one-third of their breasts in full view leave little to the imagination. Cleavage and partially bare breasts are a cause of sinful thoughts and desires in the minds of men and others. This is a great favorite of Satan. He loves how useful women are.
7. Ouija Boards. Are a clear and certain way to bring Satan or his helpers into lives and can cause demonic affliction and in some cases even demonic possession where Satan directly controls a person’s thinking and behavior. They go beyond mere temptation. An exorcism would be necessary. Ouija boards are a definite no-no.
8. Drug Use. Thanks to the counter-culture movement of the 1960’s takes over the lives of numerous people where jobs are lost, crimes are committed, and accidental deaths occur outside God’s friendship so often. So many famous people have died from this awful scourge, and addiction.
9. Alcohol. Becomes addictive like drug use and causes drinkers to make very bad decisions getting into an automobile, or falling and injuring themselves. So many lives are lost needlessly because of alcohol and usually out of the friendship of the Lord.
Of all the instruments of Satan these are his favorites. He uses those most frequently to capture so many souls, so many souls. And Satan loves women so very much, because they are easy to tempt and control through women’s fashions, the occult, using Ouija boards. More women than men become demonically possessed. More women than men are demonically afflicted, also. And the affliction at times takes the form of physical activity between a lesser demon and a woman, or in some isolated cases a man. (There are female and male lesser demons.) The physical activity in some cases is sexual activity-male demon and a female, or a female demon and a male in rare cases. Yes, it happens! The male demon immobilizes the woman and then has his way with her, and it can last for hours. The same can happen to a demonically afflicted man. Yes, Satan loves women, because he can more easily use his sinful instruments-abortion, obscene fashions, prostitution, Hooters restaurants, nude beaches, lesbianism.
It doesn’t matter how someone might spin it, Satan’s favorite instruments are highly offensive to God, and they bring sadness and ruin into countless millions of lives and families. They cause people to lose their souls to Satan for all eternity.
Let it be reminded that as soon as we depart from this life, we have a life review. And nothing is lost in time-no thought, no word, no action. Our whole life will be before us like a video tape of everything we said, thought, or did. We are going to be accountable, and are not going to be able to give excuses. If we keep this in mind all the time, our life review will, of course, be a much more favorable one. We do not want our lives to be in vain later on. Our main goal should be to avoid Satan’s instruments, please God, and die in the friendship of the Lord. We should do this at all costs. Let us also be reminded that eternity last forever-whether it is a happy one or an unhappy one.

Satan’s Instruments
By
Roger Behra
As you have already realized, this communication is going to be about Satan. Unless one lives in a vacuum, all the evidence around us indicates that, yes, Satan does exist. Logic tells us that if there is a God, who is the author of all things good, then, there must be an author of all things evil, and that is Satan. Good vs. Evil. They are two forces we must deal with. God has His instruments to promote good, and Satan has his instruments to promote evil.
Now, as you read on, you will become aware of how Satan tempts us, all the instruments he has to come into our lives, and how he goes about achieving them.
Satan’s main goal is to destroy God’s influence, God’s Church (catholic), and all that is good. Satan is very crafty, he never sleeps, and has many good helpers. They destroy good, capture souls, and ruin people’s lives. His many instruments are abortion, divorce, women’s fashions, Ouija boards, computers, pornography, co-habitation, teen-age sex, body tattoos, poor parenting, music, irreligious behavior, clergy disbelief, movies, television, popular culture, apostasy, drug use, violent and other crime, suicide, alcohol. We are always surrounded by his many instruments.
Satan’s instruments bring God’s punishments. The results are bad. You can very easily understand that reality. Satan takes good things and tempts us to convert them into bad things. And we do just that to Satan’s great delight.
Before the mid-l960’s Satan’s list of instruments was less. Since then his list has grown by leaps and bounds. His instruments have become more and more common and acceptable in all cultures, especially in the United States. There has been a steady and more noticeable decline, and especially since the year 2000.
We are nearing the end of Satan’s 100 years of reign, and he has used his time very, very well. All of his instruments have become so common and very acceptable, more and more the norm in our lives. And there are few objections by the clergy, most elected officials, and the counter-culture people who started the great decline in morality and Godly behavior. But God will be heard. His punishment is already taking place with much more to come. It has definitely started as current events seem to indicate. Look what is happening each day around the world. God’s liberation from all of Satan’s evil is coming, maybe sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, we shall be suffering various kinds of God’s punishments. It is a shame, because they could have been avoided, most of them anyway.

Don't Take The Bait New By Roger Behra

Don't Take The Bait New
By
Roger Behra
Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, whichever name you give to the Prince of Evil, the Prince of Lies, the Prince of Darkness, the Master of all the lesser demons, they are all like the fishermen who are always trying to find the fish, always changing the bait to improve their chances of success. And the more the fishermen fish, the more they have to change their and procedure.
Satan and his helpers (fishermen) are always there in our lives, and we are the fish they are trying to catch. And the bait and procedure are, in a single word, TEMPTATIONS. The word temptation means “something that attracts or entices us to action.” And that temptation can be to do good or evil. In the case of Satan it is temptation to do evil of course. We can be tempted to make money our god, give in to greed, lust, anger, power, indulgence, envy, laziness, or gluttony to name a few. All these can become evil actions. And no one’s life is free of Satan’s temptations to commit evil.
The two kinds in our fallen world are physical and moral. Physical evil includes natural disasters, murder, cruelty to others and animals, harm and destruction to environments and animal kingdoms. Moral evil hurts us very much spiritually, stems from the use of our free will, and is far more prevalent than physical evil. We must always be on guard against temptations to commit these two evils. Much to often when the evil demons tempt us, which can come at any time, we, unfortunately, take the bait. Satan and his helpers never sleep. Their main goal is to constantly roam the world, tempting all of us and seeking the ruin of lives and capturing souls for all eternity. And we constantly need help against this----God’s help, heavenly help.
With these dual helps there are ways to overcome the dual evils. And we absolutely need this help. Satan and his helpers are roaring lions. They are always there to devour souls. And in our fallen world he is succeeding at a very, very fast peace. Satan is the master, and his helpers take his direction, and together, they are very powerful. But they are not more powerful than God or His Blessed Mother or the saints in heaven.
To get the help of heaven with heavenly graces, we need prayer, daily prayer in our lives. Prayer is the very powerful weapon we use to silence the roaring lions. The Rosary prayer is most powerful. It brings the Blessed Virgin into our battle against temptations. She is the great enemy of Satan and his helpers. Satan trembles at her powers. The Hail Mary is also a powerful prayer. Individual prayer to God, Mary, or the Saints is also quite helpful. But remember, Satan, cannot win against the power of the Blessed Virgin. So, be very eager to call on Her for help against the never ending temptations we face all the time. She’ll be eager to help in return.
As the ages progress the time will come when our Blessed Mother will most certainly and absolutely defeat Satan. She’ll step on and crush the Serpent’s head. Then we will no longer live in a fallen world full of temptations. It will be a glorious time, free from dual evils. There will be no more Satan’s bait to take. Meanwhile, we most fight the life-long battle against the multitude of temptations------and win them! Don’t take the bait!

Our Blessed Mother's Promises
By
Roger Behra
At the vision at Fatima our Blessed Mother told us how important it is to recite the Rosary. At other visions down through the ages she has remained us. At one vision in particular she gave 15 promises to all the Christians who recite the Rosary. Here are the promises, the 4 sets of mysteries, and the days to say each set of mysteries.
The Fifteen Promises of MARY to Christians Who Recite the Rosary
1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall
receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those
who shall recite the Rosary.
3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy
vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the
abundant mercy of God; it will with-draw the hearts of men from the love
of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal
things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary,
shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the
consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be conquered by misfor-
tune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an
unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and
become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die
without the sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and
at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the
moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.
9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in
heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
12. All those who propagate the holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their
necessities.
13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the
Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life
and at the hour of death.
14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only Son
Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

A Doctor’s Need To Know
SHORT COMMUNICATION 54.
A Doctor’s Need To Know
By
Roger Behra
A great number of medical doctors believe that when a patient is pronounced dead, that is it, nothing, no more life here, and no life after life ends here. But the doctors on many occasions are told their thinking is flawed, wrong, and to put it bluntly, they need to update their thinking as soon as possible.
They need to change their thinking especially when a patient is pronounced clinically dead on the operating table, and due to modern procedures they are brought back to life. That happening is called a near-death experience.
During the near-death experience of a patient the spirit of the person leaves the body, rises, hovers, usually at one corner of the ceiling, and then sees and hears EVERYTHING that is done and said. After a period of time if the resuscitation is successful, the patient is brought back to life. The period of time before resuscitation can last from a few minutes to a much longer period of time. It after the resuscitation that the patient has a story to tell, usually, o a very skeptical doctor.
It is true that a patient can theoretically hear everything that is said without a near-death experience, but a near-death experience has to be in effect in order for the patient to see everything that went on. So, a new scientific experiment (yes, science is finally getting involved) is going be in effect soon. And it will not take many of them to convince skeptical doctors (or others either) that a person has a spirit that lives on and can see and hear.
In some operating rooms shelves with words and pictures on them will be installed well above eye-level. Only the top shelf will have the words and the pictures. And only the hovering spirit will be able to see the words and the pictures as it hovers in one place near the room’s ceiling.
Later, after each successful resuscitation, when the patient is able to speak and tell a story and answer questions, if it includes seeing words and pictures seen on the well above eye-level shelves, while the patient’s spirit was hovering near the ceiling, any doctor’s thinking that there is not spirit or an after-life will have to be changed. There will be considerable head-scratching, and science thinking will take a big hit and have to be changed.
Now, what cannot be at all believed is why it took so long for science to do this type of experiment. Thousands upon thousands of near-death stories have been told by patients, but science refused to validate the stories, until recently. We are all waiting for their long-awaited and reasonable reply.

A Doctor’s Need To Know
By
Roger Behra
A great number of medical doctors believe that when a patient is pronounced dead, that is it, nothing, no more life here, and no life after life ends here. But the doctors on many occasions are told their thinking is flawed, wrong, and to put it bluntly, they need to update their thinking as soon as possible.
They need to change their thinking especially when a patient is pronounced clinically dead on the operating table, and due to modern procedures they are brought back to life. That happening is called a near-death experience.
During the near-death experience of a patient the spirit of the person leaves the body, rises, hovers, usually at one corner of the ceiling, and then sees and hears EVERYTHING that is done and said. After a period of time if the resuscitation is successful, the patient is brought back to life. The period of time before resuscitation can last from a few minutes to a much longer period of time. It after the resuscitation that the patient has a story to tell, usually, o a very skeptical doctor.
It is true that a patient can theoretically hear everything that is said without a near-death experience, but a near-death experience has to be in effect in order for the patient to see everything that went on. So, a new scientific experiment (yes, science is finally getting involved) is going be in effect soon. And it will not take many of them to convince skeptical doctors (or others either) that a person has a spirit that lives on and can see and hear.
In some operating rooms shelves with words and pictures on them will be installed well above eye-level. Only the top shelf will have the words and the pictures. And only the hovering spirit will be able to see the words and the pictures as it hovers in one place near the room’s ceiling.

A Very Dangerous Undertaking, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 53.
A Very Dangerous Undertaking
By
Roger Behra
When a person's (man, woman, child) behavior changes and is marked as dramatic, such as strange physical behavior, obvious mental aberrations as a daily pattern, clear distaste to all signs, symbols, mention and sight of religious people, places, objects, and ceremonies, an investigation into that person's life to determine the reason is in order. When medical or psychiatric treatment fails to pinpoint or help the person, the investigation can and is usually referred to a priest to determine if an exorcism is the next step. And, frankly, that is usually the next step. The presence of an evil spirit is possessing the person. A priest exorcist is, therefore, badly needed. And that leads to a very dangerous undertaking, indeed. An exorcism is extremely serious and dangerous. And there is a definite effect in the life of the possessed and the priest exorcist. One effect is positive, and one effect is negative to a degree. The possessed is demon free, but the priest's life is depressingly effected for life. What went on during the exorcism never leaves his mind.
The possessed person is brought to the attention of Catholic Church authorities, usually by family or friends, after it has been determined that the person cannot be helped otherwise. Rarely does a demonically possessed person voluntarily present himself/herself. (More women than men become demonically possessed). After church authorities deem an exorcism is needed, a Bishop selects and authorizes a priest exorcist. lt takes a special type of priestly makeup to be successful exorcist.
Many people are demonically afflicted (not possessed) because their lifestyle opens wide the door for evil results. That is another story, but it can lead imperfect possession and does in many cases. An imperfectly possessed person is not involuntarily taken over by Satan or one of his demon helpers, a lessor demon. A voluntary agreement has to be made Satan for a desired and stated outcome, a wish to be fullfilled-money, sex, a certain woman or man, job, etc. And once a deal is made, Satan keeps his end of the bargin, and there is no turning back. The person becomes possessed. In the cases of perfect possession one sells his soul to Satan, he takes over, and gradually over a long period of time, Satan delivers. No exorcism can later help. lt is a done deal, and when the person dies, Satan owns the soul. In cases of imperfect possession, which has increased seven to eight fold since 1970, very few exorcisms can be done nowadays. And if a person needs an exorcism, but dies beforehand, Satan owns the soul. Therefore, one has to be extremely careful how the person lives life.
In the case an exorcism is needed and planned, there are three central and very necessary figures involved: the possessed person, the priest exorcist, and the evil spirit(s). (In very, very rare cases more than one evil spirit possesses one person). There are non-central persons who are present at an exorcism who prepares the room and are available in case the priest needs assistance. The exorcism is a very serious and dangerous situation (for the priest), and sometimes for others present, when the evil spirit hurls objects that are closeby. A properly prepared room takes that into account most of the time. The exorcism itself can take only a few hours, or it can take a matter of weeks in some cases. At an exorcism there is a winner and a loser. The possessed person is the winner. The evil spirit is the loser. Most all exorcisms are, sooner or later, successful. A few are not. If the possessed person is not truly desirous and truly gives consent to be free of the evil spirit, the exorcism ends in failure.
An exorcism is truly a very serious undertaking for the priest exorcist. (His assistants are most always not in any danger). The priest must follow the authorized procedure very carefully with no deviations. The priest's life can be exposed to all present. The extreme hate, venom, wildly and disgusting and obscene speech is aimed at the priest. The evil spirit does not want to be giving up the possessed person, because it will have to find another person to possess, which in today's cultures is earier to do it seems. The priest has to be always very careful in the words he uses and how and when he uses them. The evil spirit is very, very cunning, never misses an oportunity to trap or harm the priest. The priest has to be perfectly trained to avoid that ever happening. The exorcism has to be very well planned, organized, and perfectly administered, or failure is the result.
After the exorcism is completed (that can take a short or long time) the once possessed person is completely free of the evil spirit and to once again lead a normal life provided he/she avoids evil activities. But that is not the case for the exorcist. An exorcisms exacts a mental, emotional, and physical toll that can last a long time, even years. The exorcist's life is never the same as it once was. lt is a very sad result for one person after a very successful and happy result for another person.
After note:
More women than men become demonically afflicted, or demonically possessed for that matter, because of the fact women put themselves in more dangerous and evil positions, such as prostitution, witchcraft, covens, using ouigi boards, etc. Women are more likely to make a deal with Satan. If any readers of this communication thinks, feels, or knows that they are demonically afflicted because of what is happening in their lives after they have made evil decisions, they can do certain things. Firstly, they have to truly and quickly decide to change the order of their lives. Secondly, they have to express sorrow for their evil way(s). Thirdly, they have to pray and ask Jesus to hide them in the wounds of His crucifixion. If the affected one is Catholic, seek the help of a Catholic priest, who will be more than happy to offer his help. Non-Catholics can do the same if they wish. Many times after a person becomes demonically afflicted or imperfectly possessed, they regret very much their decision and behavior that has led to their situation and the only solution to their problem is to receive outside help. lt is so crucial. Please, God, lead them to outdid help while there is still time left in their lives to do so. Their earthly existence and eternity, later, depends on it.

America’s Liberal Culture
SHORT COMMUNIOCATION 51.
America’s Liberal Culture
By
Roger Behra
As defined in the Dictionary of American English, “a liberal is one who favors wide possibilities of change and self expression, as in political and religious affairs." This communication will give the reader a good idea of how liberals and their agenda ruined the culture and society of the American people as they moved systematically away from favoring the established order of society and the belief that the established order of society should change only very slowly and for the intelligent and moral progress of the culture and society since 1963.
In America liberals are represented by many organizations. There are the famous ones called Abortion Rights, PETA, Hollywood, etc. Many of the liberal organizations, influence Washington’s law-making, the mainstream media (television and print), and the American people, all of which intern effects life in America. There are Supreme Court judges, senators and congressmen, and local judges, who, after an election, overturn the common sense votes of the voters. The pro-abortion group is also very strong and active as a liberal organization.
Liberal thinking is very defective. Liberals just do not get it right about history, human nature, or what is sensible or not sensible. Their main goal is to change the world we live in, to change everyday life to meet their agenda, and even directly invade our lives. In America since 1963 they have been very successful in doing so. What was once working well-honoring God daily in our lives, keeping the 10 Commandments, high weekly church attendance, basic honesty, personal ethics, common courtesy and politeness, neat well-groomed appearances, and morality-has been changed to the extreme opposite or completely ignored, to conform to their philosophy and agenda.
Liberals think government and the more of it the better in people’s lives is the answer. They are ignorant of the natural inclination of man when he has power. They ignore government made problems and demand more government action to change the government's mistakes. The natural inclination of man is to want as much power as possible. Their search for power is mad, foolish, and counter-productive. In the United States the government runs the I.R.S. (Internal Revenue Service), D.M.V. (Department of Motor Vehicles), the Post Office, and the school systems among other things. And the results are far from desirable to say the least. The tax laws of do and don’t is a complex ordeal. At the D.M.V. one takes a number and hopes he will get the business done the same day. The Post Office moves like a snail, and the costs have risen sharply. (Considerable business has gone to FedEx and U.P.S. as a result). And the school systems in the public sector are a meltdown disaster full of great discipline problems, cultural language diversity, overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages, teachers leaving at the half-year time, overloaded classroom subjects, and underpaid teacher salaries. It is a big time mess. And they are always throwing good money after bad. The high school dropout rate is very high, and in some places in the United States it is 50%. The waiting list to enter private schools is unimaginably long. There is no government money or control in private schools. And the discipline is very much under control. Discipline problems are quickly handled. The students are kicked out of the system.
A very big and troublesome area is the mainstream media-both electronic (radio and Television) and print. Few people read the print journalism, but most people listen to the radio and listen to and watch television very regularly, so this area is most effective. And effective it is. All the media never misses the opportunity to support liberal, because the media is a haven of liberals. They mention liberal ideas, cover and support those ideas often, without any second thoughts whatsoever. At least 75% of the media leans very far to the far left.
The television media leads the group and is followed by the radio. Only 25% to 30% read the print media. The heavy reliance is on the television media. And that is a real problem, because it enters so many homes and is so diversified in addition. The miscellaneous sitcoms lead the viewers (millions often very young and impressionable) to believe that what goes on in the sitcom is okay and acceptable behavior, that immoral and indecent fashions, vulgar speech, and sexual insinuations is way cool. Television is a monumentally scandalizing source for liberal thinking and behavior. And we must not forget the computer. It is fast rivaling the television medium. The computer is the number one and most frequently used source for pornography (thanks to a legal decision not to block it under the freedom of speech law). Liberals fall back on the freedom of speech law very frequently to further their liberal views and agenda.
Hollywood, that den of iniquity, and the entertainment industry in general are havens of liberalism. A fabulous amount of money from Hollywood and other entertainers go to politicians and other organizations to help foster liberal ideas and liberalism in general. Recently, a political fund-raiser by a very liberal presidential candidate brought in over nine million dollars to help support his ideas later (hopefully). Hollywood people put the liberal philosophy into full effect with their thinking and actions-high divorce rate, co-habitation as a norm, illegitimate children, immorality, immoral fashions vulgar speech, homosexuality, and violence. They live and self-glorify themselves as if it should be routinely accepted. It is scandal of the first magnitude, because millions of people pay attention, attend their movies, watch their TV programs, and copy their liberal and scandalous behavior.
Liberals and their agenda and the spread of liberalism from Washington, television, Hollywood people, movies, entertainers, and the radio all together foster and inundate the American culture so that non-liberals are not capable to very effectively turn things around.
Liberals are clueless to many aspects of human life. They are unable to under-stand how liberal ideas and behavior change and pollute daily life and the culture in general. They are clueless about how their behavior effects their own life, that for the most part it is greatly offensive to God and other non-liberals around them. They are clueless as to how their behavior is going to effect their eternity after they leave this earthly life. They are clueless as what makes sense and what does not.
Liberals, liberal organizations, and the liberal faction in Washington making our laws, as well as judges who overturn sensible decisions and laws have left the American society and culture with great economic problems, a dysfunctional school system, where the schools produce less results with more and more money, where church attendance has declined more than 50%, where the government solves problems by passing more problematic laws, where the mainstream media is in bed with liberalism, and where liberals even want to invade private lives. America is still a great nation inspite of itself (God's fewer blessings), but she has lost a great deal of her greatness. And it will take a great turnaround in philosophy and action to regain any measureable amount of her lost greatness. Liberals would have to do a great deal of self-reflection and self-evaluation in order for an acceptable turnaround to happen. That is highly unlikely.
Meanwhile, and most assuredly, we must remember that the culture is not the problem. Liberals and liberalism are the problem. May God somehow help us. We are badly in need of His great help. Our survival and remaining greatness depend upon it.

Self-Inflicted Punishment
SHORT COMMUNICATION 50.
Self-Inflicted Punishment
By
Roger Behra
A very large majority of Americans realize that the cultural and economic conditions of the United States are very far from ideal or even very good for that matter. But what is not realized is the fact that these conditions are self-inflicted upon themselves. Let that now be explained.
During the twelve years prior to the start of World War 2 the United States was experiencing the Great Depression and the great discrimination against black people. Economically and culturally it was the worst of times, although the other areas of the culture were progressing well.
Then, in 1941, December 7 to be precise, World War 2 started for the United States with the Japanese Attack at Pearl Harbor. Immediately the economic situation was about to change for the better. And the culture, except for discrimination, was about to change also. This time, 1941, and the following years to 1963 and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, began the best years in the United States. The years 1964 to the present are a very different story.
During the years 1941-1963 the economic conditions were relatively going along well, except for a recession in 1960 to close out that year. The education system was working well. People had good jobs. They were able to buy houses. Family life was orderly and peaceful. People dressed up on Sunday, attended the church of their choice very regularly, and visited other family members. Only very necessary work was done on Sunday. For the most part the Sabbath Day vas was kept holy and personally enjoyable. During the other six days families worked together as a unit, lived good moral lives, and kept the 10 Commandments Yes, they knew the 10 Commandments and kept them in their daily lives. This is not the way life is going today. Since 1963 life and our culture has been slowly deteriorating to what we have going on today. And it definitely is very far from ideal or even very good. Let more explanation be given, so that a clear contrast can be understood.
On any given Sunday now anything goes. For the most part the Sabbath is not kept holy. Only 37% of Americans attend church regularly. Businesses operate as usual. People in general do not dress up. Many women even come to church immodestly dressed and many men come to church dressed like they are going to the beach or some sporting event. Families do not spend time or have big dinners together like they used to. People mow lawns, fix their cars, paint houses, or wander around all self-glorified as the young people do. Except for a small percentage of the population, on the Lord's Day very little glorification is given to the Lord. In millions of cases none is given.
When the counter-culture people (Boomers as they are called today) pushed God out of their lives and replaced Him with money, sex, drugs, and the pursuit of bringing in the new behavior, which ignores the 10 Commandments, our culture and economic situation went on the downhill run to what we have today. And today we have a culture and economic situation almost completely without God's abundant and available blessings. When you look around, watch the news, read the daily newspaper, and then get depressed at all of it, you can rightly say, "the Boomers have given it all to us." It's their legacy.
Americans are now the fattest (most obese) individuals in the world. (We are headed for monumental health problems down the road. It's already started.) America is a nation of very high prices for everything, a failing education system, overflowing prisons, high murder and crime rate, failing marriages(50% of marriages in America fail),greed, scofflaw people, dishonesty in high and low places, politicians who trick us to get our votes and shirk their responsibilities later child abuse, child sexual abuse by clergy and teachers who violate the trust given to them, and people who are as a matter of course in their daily lives rude and discourteous. Courtesy is only a pleasant memory.
And now it is Time for the Boomers to retire. It's time for them to retire into the culture that they have given themselves (and others).And many of them are now crying and afraid to retire, because it is too expensive to do so. They cannot retire into a culture and economic situation that they inflicted upon themselves (and the rest of us) since 1963.They are now victims of their own greed, lack of good judgment, and permissiveness that they allowed to develop over the past 45+ years. All the chickens they allowed to lay eggs are important. But the one that is at the top of their list is the economic checker it has come to roost in their lives. The economic chicken is interfering in their retirement plans. And it is self-inflicted to say the least. And so are all the other bad eggs that hatched and now make up the problems in our culture that they allowed to happen for their sons, daughters, and grandchildren. It's the Boomer's punishment and all self-infected. Have a nice retirement, Boomers.
The sorrow and sadness goes to those who did not go along with the counter-culture philosophy that started back in 1963. They are the real victims, and there are a good number of them. They are the ones who justifiably can cry and complain about not being able to afford to retire. Their fellow Boomers inflicted everything going on them; including very high prices for food, rent, gasoline, health care medicine, and an economy that is very, very weak. The boomers and their families who did not accept the counter-culture philosophy and kept on the straight and moral track are the ones who are receiving God's great and abundant help and blessings. And may God continue to guide, help, and bless them very abundantly.

Self-Inflicted Punishment
By
Roger Behra
A very large majority of Americans realize that the cultural and economic conditions of the United States are very far from ideal or even very good for that matter. But what is not realized is the fact that these conditions are self-inflicted upon themselves. Let that now be explained.
During the twelve years prior to the start of World War 2 the United States was experiencing the Great Depression and the great discrimination against black people. Economically and culturally it was the worst of times, although the other areas of the culture were progressing well.
Then, in 1941, December 7 to be precise, World War 2 started for the United States with the Japanese Attack at Pearl Harbor. Immediately the economic situation was about to change for the better. And the culture, except for discrimination, was about to change also. This time, 1941, and the following years to 1963 and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, began the best years in the United States. The years 1964 to the present are a very different story.
During the years 1941-1963 the economic conditions were relatively going along well, except for a recession in 1960 to close out that year. The education system was working well. People had good jobs. They were able to buy houses. Family life was orderly and peaceful. People dressed up on Sunday, attended the church of their choice very regularly, and visited other family members. Only very necessary work was done on Sunday. For the most part the Sabbath Day vas was kept holy and personally enjoyable. During the other six days families worked together as a unit, lived good moral lives, and kept the 10 Commandments Yes, they knew the 10 Commandments and kept them in their daily lives. This is not the way life is going today. Since 1963 life and our culture has been slowly deteriorating to what we have going on today. And it definitely is very far from ideal or even very good. Let more explanation be given, so that a clear contrast can be understood.
On any given Sunday now anything goes. For the most part the Sabbath is not kept holy. Only 37% of Americans attend church regularly. Businesses operate as usual. People in general do not dress up. Many women even come to church immodestly dressed and many men come to church dressed like they are going to the beach or some sporting event. Families do not spend time or have big dinners together like they used to. People mow lawns, fix their cars, paint houses, or wander around all self-glorified as the young people do. Except for a small percentage of the population, on the Lord's Day very little glorification is given to the Lord. In millions of cases none is given.
When the counter-culture people (Boomers as they are called today) pushed God out of their lives and replaced Him with money, sex, drugs, and the pursuit of bringing in the new behavior, which ignores the 10 Commandments, our culture and economic situation went on the downhill run to what we have today. And today we have a culture and economic situation almost completely without God's abundant and available blessings. When you look around, watch the news, read the daily newspaper, and then get depressed at all of it, you can rightly say, "the Boomers have given it all to us." It's their legacy.
Americans are now the fattest (most obese) individuals in the world. (We are headed for monumental health problems down the road. It's already started.) America is a nation of very high prices for everything, a failing education system, overflowing prisons, high murder and crime rate, failing marriages(50% of marriages in America fail),greed, scofflaw people, dishonesty in high and low places, politicians who trick us to get our votes and shirk their responsibilities later child abuse, child sexual abuse by clergy and teachers who violate the trust given to them, and people who are as a matter of course in their daily lives rude and discourteous. Courtesy is only a pleasant memory.
And now it is Time for the Boomers to retire. It's time for them to retire into the culture that they have given themselves (and others).And many of them are now crying and afraid to retire, because it is too expensive to do so. They cannot retire into a culture and economic situation that they inflicted upon themselves (and the rest of us) since 1963.They are now victims of their own greed, lack of good judgment, and permissiveness that they allowed to develop over the past 45+ years. All the chickens they allowed to lay eggs are important. But the one that is at the top of their list is the economic checker it has come to roost in their lives. The economic chicken is interfering in their retirement plans. And it is self-inflicted to say the least. And so are all the other bad eggs that hatched and now make up the problems in our culture that they allowed to happen for their sons, daughters, and grandchildren. It's the Boomer's punishment and all self-infected. Have a nice retirement, Boomers.
The sorrow and sadness goes to those who did not go along with the counter-culture philosophy that started back in 1963. They are the real victims, and there are a good number of them. They are the ones who justifiably can cry and complain about not being able to afford to retire.

The Cultural Importance of Women, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 49.
The Cultural Importance of Women
By
Roger Behra
It is a fact that God loves all of us, the good as well as the bad, and that all are very important in his plan for us. But it seems in the cultural structure as it is; women play a more important roll and nave a greater cultural and spiritual importance to Him and therefore, mankind in general. Mom used to say, "The hands (women’s) that rock the cradles (baby’s) rule in the world." Well, it used to be that way. The importance is still there, but the effect has greatly been diminished in our modern counter-culture world. But the basics are still needed in the culture, and a great amount of attention must be given to them.
The basics are women are wifely helpmates to men, mothers to their children, and generally have a great deal to say in the moral and proper upbringing of the children. Women have great responsibilities and much to say in family every-day occur affairs. The basics are not strongly in effect like they were many years ago. The answer is quite simple. It started with the counter-culture movement of the early 1960's and their philosophy of "tune in and drop out, throw out the old and bring in life new, if it feels good do it, don’t trust any-one over 30, love, sex, rock 'n roll."
When that philosophy gained a foothold, the cultural importance and influence of women greatly diminished. Before the early 1960's women were a very strong and influential part of the; cultural fabric for the good and proper in areas of family life, self-discipline, spiritual development, social activities, and moral development in their own lives and the family members. They were mostly stay-at-home wives and mothers who were devoted to the complete success of the family. That has all mostly changed to what we have today-working mothers, less family time, high divorce rate, diminished spiritual emphasis, defiant, disruptive, and poorly disciplined children in the home AND SCHOOL. Our U.S.A. Culture has become very disappointing to say the least, and the influence of women toward a better culture has been terribly weakened, never to be regained, totally.
Aside from the culture of today and the basics being diminished, the secondary tragedy of it allies the small percentage of women who were raised properly (old-school philosophy) by their mothers (with grandmother's influence) are fighting an uphill battle as modern cultural influences are heavily against them. But the small percentages of women are doing their best inspite of the odds.
Very young women, however, can still take steps to better things. Those whose moral compasses are leading them in the correct direction and with intelligent thinking can take over to change the cultural direction for the better. Our culture will never be like it was (pre-1963), but any improvement for the better would be well accepted. And it can start with new young mothers and the newest generation of babies.
As mothers women are greatly influential in child development in the areas of mental, spiritual, and emotional progress. There is no substitute for a mother's constant attention in these areas. If the mother's moral compass and thinking is working well, all should go well in this regard. And the most important ingredient that permeates all the others in her efforts is her motherly love. That is an indispensible element.
In any culture the cultural importance of women as wives, mothers, and working persons cannot be underestimated or done without. The orderly and successful progress of any culture can and should be largely attributed to the influence and importance of their women.

Satan’s Favorite People
By
Roger Behra
In communication 47 it was written that God loves everyone without any qualification, and that He loves some more intensely, because they love Him very much in return, keep His 10 Commandments, and live as the best possible Christians.
That is not so with Satan. Satan does not have any like for the ones who live a pleasing Christian life. However, Satan has his definite favorites. Are you among them?
In case there are those who do not know or realize that they are great and cooperative favorites of Satan, let some enlightenment take place here.
Among Satan’s favorites, there are some that are more outstanding, and they are the following:
1. Child Sexual Abusers
2. Pornography Producers
3. Pornography Addiction
4. Homosexual Sex (casual, with partners)
5. Fornication
6. Adulterers
7. Serial Killers
8. Suicide
9. Greedy persons
10. Cheaters
11. Chronic Dishonesty
12. Ignoring the 10 Commandments
13. Atheists and Agnostics
14. Non-churchgoers (63%)
15. Abortion Doctors, Abortion Seekers
16. Co=habitation
17. Prostitutes and Mistresses
18. Immodest Women’s dress
19. Body Desecration (tattoos)
20. Taking God’s Name in Vain
21. Hollywood, Actors, and Actresses
22. Drug Addiction
23. Adult Sex Crimes
24. Incest
25. Teen-age Sex
26. Same-sex Marriages
27. Communism
28. Counter-culture Movement
29. Blasphemy
30. Corrupt Behavior
Among the favorites listed above, Satan has his very most favorites, because a very great number of people are participating at the same time, which pleases him very much. They include pornography, atheists and agnostics, practicing homosexuals, fornication, adultery, greedy people, Commandment avoiders, atheists and agnostics, non-churchgoers, abortion, co-habitation, immodest women’s dress, Hollywood and her movies, television, teen-age sex, drug addiction, Communism, and the continuation of the counter-culture movement and its liberal philosophy. The counter-culture movement (1963) is at the root of the common occurrence of what is on the above list of items, because it changed the moral thinking and actions in our (U.S.A.) culture when God was pushed aside and was replace with the pursuit of money, sex, rock ‘n roll, and social changes. What is listed above became more and more acceptable. And the big winner is SATAN. And the big losers are the American society, and most of all, the souls Satan has gained over such a long period of time. Will yours be one of the souls lost to him in the future?

SHORT COMMUNICATIONS N° 47
God Loves You
By
Roger Behra
God loves everyone. We are His creatures made in His image and likeness. But God loves you more immensely when you recognize Him as the Supreme Being that He is, when we honor him as our Lord and Savior, and when we keep His ten commandments and live our lives as the best Christians humanly possible. And when we do all of these things, we also act accordingly as a good and valuable cultural member. Cultures thrive on good Christians in action.
Any cultures lives or dies accordingly to the degree each cultural member lives his life. If each cultural member develops his or her four areas of human development (mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical) to the very best possible, they are greatly pleasing to God and also to their cultural achievements, and in return they are pleasing to themselves and their neighbours as well. And God´s immense love is showered upon the people and their culture through His abundant blessings.
It is, therefore, to our great advantage in more ways than one to be the best of God´s creatures through our own personal development and Christian action. We become very pleasing to Jesus and His Mother Mary, the mediatrix of all graces and blessings, very pleasing and useful to the culture we live in, and quite pleasing to ourselves, which matters a great deal, also. But most of all, we greatly earn and receive God´s immense love and the intercession of His Blessed Mother, Mary, which are the most valuable of all the earn assets.

Satan´s Favorite Playgrounds

Satan´s Favorite Playgrounds
By
Roger Behra
God is everywhere. But His influence and His blessings are not. And wherever His influence and blessings are not, Stan´s influence and evil activity fill the voids. Satan never misses the opportunity to takeover in a person´s life.
The effects of Satan and his evil activity are present in so many places in world and especially in the liberal capital of the world-America. America and the places mentioned within America will be called Satan´s favorite playgrounds. Along with America there are other places in the world where Satan is very active, indeed. Some of the more well know places are China, Russia, Cuba and North Korea to name a few.
In this communications America will be the country emphasized, because she is a very big nation and, therefore, a very big playground with many smaller playground within, where Satan´s evil influence and activity abounds. Indeed, America is a big and fertile playground.
On the big and fertile American playground are these smaller but very favorite organizations and places: the mafia, abortion clinics, satanic covens, public schools, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Tampa, Florida, and Louisville, Kentucky. These places are singled out because of the great number of people who live or participate there. The great amount of activity that goes on there is conducive to Satan´s evil influence and activity, as millions of people live side-by-side with each other. Satan´s evil activities take place day after day and around the clock. Mafia activities, Hollywood´s disgusting and liberal movies and lifestyle, co-habitation, teenage sex, and the public schools head the list of Satan´s very favorite evil activities. As Father Malachi Martin stressed years ago, the need for EXORCISIMS in these places has increased seven-fold since the mid-sixties.
Of course Satan´s evil and favorite activities take place elsewhere, but not in such large and concentrated amounts that take place in the above mentioned locations in America. During the late 1990´s on the Coast to Coast radio program Father Martin (deceased) with Art Bell revealed how Satan has taken over so many places and in so many people´s lives since 1963, when the Godless counter-culture movement began and now is fully entrenched in America culture and so many lives in America. The blame goes to liberals and their liberal thinking and activities.
The important question now s whether the tide can be turned to the pre-1963days, when American culture was so much more acceptable to God and the many non-liberals instead of increasingly more acceptable to Satan and his liberal followers like it is today in 2008. As long as Hollywood, abortion clinics, strips joints, Hooters places, covens, teen-age sex, co-habitation, divorces, murders, and what goes on during school hours (sex talk and arrangements, defiant, disrespectful, and obnoxious and abusive behavior) continues to thrive, the outlook appears to be very much without any hope or cheer. According to the radio, television, and print communications and what they are telling us, through broadcasts, surveys, and polls, the future is going to be quite bleak, indeed, that Satan and his helpers will continue to dominate at their favorite playgrounds, that clueless liberals and liberalism is not going away soon, and that Satan is going to continue to be the winner, while the American culture continues to wallow in all his evil influence and activity, and even become worse for the wear.

Always Remember Them
SHORT COMMUNICATIONS N° 64
Always Remember Them
By
Roger Behra
The word them in this communication title means our loved ones (family members), friends, classmates, and personal acquaintances who were nice to us, who left this temporary physical world. And sooner or later them will become us, as we join them in that eternal spirit world that awaits us all.
In at least one religion, the Catholic religion, and perhaps some others also, there is the belief that the eternal spirit world is made up of three definite existences: haven, purgatory, and hell. Heaven is the existence of everlasting happiness with God, His Mother Mary, the angels, saints, and our loved ones. We should all strive very diligently to end up there. Purgatory is existence where souls, who die in the friendship of the Lord but have unrepented sins, exist for a period of time until they are purified and made ready for their entry into heaven. During their existence in purgatory, souls are totally helpless. That is why we must help them. That is why we must never forget them. The souls in hell are lost forever, and nothing can be done for them.
A few souls go directly to heaven. Many souls go directly to hell. The majority of souls go to purgatory. And they are completely dependent on the help of heavenly patrons and us here. Together that help shortens the stay in purgatory. Now, there are two questions: How do we help? And when do we help?
Without our help souls in purgatory will eventually leave their after much suffering and enter heaven. With help souls can leave much sooner, and the more help they get the more quickly they can leave.
Father Stanislaus (1631-1701), now Blessed Stanislaus, had great love and concern for the souls in purgatory. He called it “the greatest charity to pray to God for the freedom of the souls in purgatory.” So, we and heavenly patrons MUST help. Our deceased loved ones, friends, classmates, and others in general cry out for our help.
We live in a time when terrorism, wars, and sudden loss of life along with the great loss of a sense of God goes on each and everyday. Natural disasters, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, car accidents, terrorist bombings cause people to die quite suddenly and unrepented for sins, and even unaware of their sins. Purgatory is overflowing with helpless souls who endure great “suffering,” “flames,” and “burning” as St. Maria Faustina Kowolska revealed about her visions of purgatory. Blessed Stanislaus called purgatory a great “temporary torture, and the souls cry out for help, those who died in God´s grace but need purification in order to enter heaven.”
Who can we help? We can help specifically or generally by saying the rosary, Hail Marys, and other prayers especially for the poor souls. When can we help? NOW! Anytime! The easiest way is to memorize the following prayer, so that you can say it at will anytime and anyplace at ease. The prayer of St. Gertrude the Great given to her by our Lord will release 1000 souls from purgatory each time it is said, and the Blessed Mother promises that She and Jesus will do that “deliver so many souls, so many souls!” the prayer also includes living sinners as well.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most precious blood of thy Divine Son Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holly Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home, and within my family. Amen.
When we pray for the souls in purgatory, we also help them and ourselves. And every soul we release will later become a patron, there in heaven, on our behalf, helping us move more quickly out of purgatory. It could not be any nicer for us.
So, everyone, remember the helpless poor souls who suffer unbearably. Pray, pray, pray very often for them, because “them” will be “us” someday. Never forget them. And tell your family and friends to remember to pray often, also.

Without our help souls in purgatory will eventually leave their after much suffering and enter heaven. With help souls can leave much sooner, and the more help they get the more quickly they can leave.
Father Stanislaus (1631-1701), now Blessed Stanislaus, had great love and concern for the souls in purgatory. He called it “the greatest charity to pray to God for the freedom of the souls in purgatory.” So, we and heavenly patrons MUST help. Our deceased loved ones, friends, classmates, and others in general cry out for our help.
We live in a time when terrorism, wars, and sudden loss of life along with the great loss of a sense of God goes on each and everyday. Natural disasters, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, car accidents, terrorist bombings cause people to die quite suddenly and unrepented for sins, and even unaware of their sins. Purgatory is overflowing with helpless souls who endure great “suffering,” “flames,” and “burning” as St. Maria Faustina Kowolska revealed about her visions of purgatory. Blessed Stanislaus called purgatory a great “temporary torture, and the souls cry out for help, those who died in God´s grace but need purification in order to enter heaven.”
Who can we help? We can help specifically or generally by saying the rosary, Hail Marys, and other prayers especially for the poor souls. When can we help? NOW! Anytime! The easiest way is to memorize the following prayer, so that you can say it at will anytime and anyplace at ease. The prayer of St. Gertrude the Great given to her by our Lord will release 1000 souls from purgatory each time it is said, and the Blessed Mother promises that She and Jesus will do that “deliver so many souls, so many souls!” the prayer also includes living sinners as well.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most precious blood of thy Divine Son Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holly Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home, and within my family. Amen.
When we pray for the souls in purgatory, we also help them and ourselves. And every soul we release will later become a patron, there in heaven, on our behalf, helping us move more quickly out of purgatory. It could not be any nicer for us.
So, everyone, remember the helpless poor souls who suffer unbearably. Pray, pray, pray very often for them, because “them” will be “us” someday. Never forget them. And tell your family and friends to remember to pray often, also.

Cristo y las Preocupaciones
Cristo y las Preocupaciones
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Qué significa la Preocupación? La preocupación puede tener distintos significados, por ejemplo: pensar con susto, o bien, esperar con afán. Estos significados presentan una dualidad, una negativa (susto) y otra positiva (esperanza). Las preocupaciones son muy dañinas para la persona humana.
Pero que nos dice Cristo Jesús, el Gran Pastor, el nos dice, que no nos debemos preocupar por el día de mañana y que no debemos andar preocupados por nuestra vida (Mt 6,25) [1]

San Ireneo de Lyon
San Ireneo de Lyon
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
San Ireneo fue Obispo de Lyon desde el año 177 d. C., y es considerado Padre de la Iglesia Griega; sin embargo, si consideramos el Magisterio y la Tradición, San Ireneo, es un Santo Padre Apostólico, al igual que San Clemente Romano (Pedro), San Ignacio de Antioquia (Juan), San Policarpo (Juan), San Hermas (Pedro), y San Papías (juan).
San Ireneo fu discípulo de niño de San Policarpo, algunos historiadores fijan su nacimiento en el año 140 en la provincia de Asia, y de joven se estableció en Lyon, dedicándose al apostolado como presbítero. De su griego nativo, hablaba además el latín y el celta del sur de Galias. Gracias a San Ireneo, se conservamos la lista de los primeros doce su ceros de Pedro en Roma.
Combatió enérgicamente el gnosticismo, criticando con profundidad sus principales errores. Sus obras: Detectio et eversio falso cognominatae gnoseos, llamada también Adversus sus haereses; Domonstratio apostolicae praedicationis. En sus obras se refleja un profundo conocimiento de Dios, las fuentes de la Revelación, de los Dogmas acerca de la Santísima Trinidad, de la Encarnación, Redención y Postrimerías del Hombre, dando trascendencia espiritual en el Magisterio de la Iglesia y dignamente se le llama “Padre de la Dogmática Católica”.
El día 28 de Junio se Celebra el Santo de San Ireneo (St. Irenaeus of Lyon), un día antes o sea el 27 de junio se celebro a San Cirilo de Alejandría, quién fue uno de los Grandes Apologistas Alejandrinos, dentro del Magisterio y Tradición de la Iglesia Católica.

The Triune God
SHORT COMMUNICATIONS N° 42
The Triune God
(Three Persons In One)
By
Roger Behra
Countless millions of people throughout the world know about God and pray to Him daily. But there are millions of people who do not fully know the complete God that they pray to. They do not fully realize that God is really three persons in one God, all Divine, referred to as the Blessed Trinity.
The three Divine Persons in One God is a hard concept to really understand. But it must be remembered, however, that God is God, and He can be all things and do all things, therefore.
The Blessed Trinity of course started with God the Father, who always was and always will be. God the father created the heavens and our earth (plants, stars, sun) and our earth, and to this day He governs over them. Later, He created us to know Him, to serve Him, to keep His Commandments, and to be happy with Him in Heaven, as He governs over us, also.
The second person of the Blessed Trinity is God the Son, born of the Blessed Virgin Mary, both human and divine, who lived on this earth to show us the way to eternal salvation, Who suffered and died on the cross so that our salvation would be insured. Jesus is widely know through the Bible, movies and books.
The third person of the Blessed Trinity is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enlightens us and inspires us to greater knowledge and spiritual development. Our spiritual understanding also increased. After the crucifixion of Jesus and the apostles were in the upper room together, the Holy Spirit descended upon them in the form of tongues of fire. They immediately understood everything Jesus told and taught them. During the ministry of Jesus the apostles did not clearly understand everything. The feast of Pentecost reminds of that special and recorded event.
When we pray, we can do so directly to God the Father, separately to Jesus, our Savior, or to the Holy Spirit to help us in our daily lives. Favors can come directly from God the Father, but all graces come through the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is the mediatrix of all graces. We need the Triune God in our lives in order to develop our spiritual to their fullest possibilities. We, therefore, can live as the best possible Christians. Good spiritual development and a good moral culture go very much together. And the Triune God (The Blessed Trinity) is the answer and the most solid foundation.

Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Días grandes para la Persona Humana la celebración de los días de la Madre y del Padre en cada año, ¿Qué podemos regalar a ellos en su especial día?:
En este día especial de nuestros padres podemos regalarle una sonrisa y:
Una rosa blanca que significa la pureza y una rosa roja que simboliza el amor, para la madre.
Un clavel blanco y uno rojo que también simbolizan la pureza y el amor, para el padre.

A tus padres, los puedes cuidar darle las gracias por todo lo que han hecho por ti durante su vida.

Resumen Aclaratorio de los Escritos Joánicos
Resumen Aclaratorio de los Escritos Joánicos
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Se atribuyen a San Juan cinco libros:
*El Evangelio según S. Juan, que consta de 21 capítulos; *Tres Cartas: la Primera Carta, tiene cinco capítulos, la Segunda Carta, 13 versículos; la Tercera Carta, de 15 versículos; y, el libro del Apocalipsis o Revelación, consta de 22 capítulos. A continuación se habla de cada libro y al final una mirada de conjunto:
*El Evangelio de S. Juan, escrito alrededor del año 95-100 d.C., esta dirigido a las comunidades cristianas de Siria, de Grecia o de Asia Menor, tiene una meta bien precisa: “Esto ha sido escrito para que crean que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios...” (Jn 20,31), firma con claridad la existencia de Dios, nos habla de siete milagros, el siete es un número simbólico; nos habla de la Palabra de Dios, que es el Logos y es sabiduría de Dios representada en Cristo Jesús, porque es Palabra de Dios encarnada en Jesús (cf Jn 1,1-18); en una primera parte: nos da a conocer a Jesús por medio de señales (Jn 1,19 al capítulo 12,1-50); y, en la segunda parte: abarca los capítulos 13 al 20, completos, en los cuales conocemos cómo Jesús cumple las obras; y, finalmente, en el capítulo 22, nos habla de la manifestación de Jesús a orillas del lago Tiberíades (cf Jn 21,1-25).
Las Tres Cartas de San Juan
*La Primera Carta de JuanNos recuerda que el camino cristiano es la divinización; la Segunda Carta, nos invita a aceptar la fe pura de los Apóstoles y nos recuerda la ley fundamental del cristiano:el amor; y, la Tercera Carta, nos habla sobre la comunión entre los cristianos. Las Tres cartas tienen un tema central: Dios nos ha amado primero, sabemos esta cuestión, porque el Espíritu Santo, nos permite descubrir el reflejo de su amor en Cristo Jesús que se entrega, y este amor de Dios hacia nosotros nos lleva a la comunión con los hermanos y representa la prueba máxima, de la presencia de Jesús en la comunidad de sus seguidores. (cf Notas, ARCD, M.C. 1).
El libro del Apocalipsis o Revelación
Fue escrito, posiblemente al final del siglo I d.C. y en el se afirma que la historia tiene sentido; el libro da a conocer 7 mensajes a las Iglesias, nos proporciona un balance del Antiguo Testamento, el enfrentamiento de la Iglesia contra el imperio romano; los últimos tiempos y la Jerusalén celestial, y nos muestra a una Iglesia: Encarnada (Caps. 1-3), Comprometida (Caps. 4-20) y Transfigurada (21-22); además de un canto hermoso lleno de esperanza: “...VEN SEÑOR JESÚS...”
Mirada de Conjunto de los Escritos Joánicos
Son ideas importantes o signos de Revelación, las siguientes: 1. Identificación del Logos con la persona de Jesús; 2. El pecado del mundo es el antireino el cual proporciona injusticia, esclavitud, mentira y odio en el mundo y es contrario al Reino de Dios Padre; por ello, cuando asistimos, respetuosamente a la Misa Dominical, y escuchamos al Sacerdote decir: “...este es el Cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo...”(Jn 1,29), nos recuerda como cristiano católico, que el Cordero es Cristo Jesús, y lo recibimos para que nos ayude a combatir al antireino, a su vez, la cita bíblica de Juan, es un representación de la Salvación Universal; 3. El Reino de Dios nos da Justicia, Libertad, Verdad y Amor; 4. Divinización de la Plenitud.4. Elegida y Santa es la Iglesia; 5. Dios nos ha amado primero; 6. La historia tiene sentido; y, 7. La paz y el amor vienen del Padre Dios, Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, y María es la madre de Jesús y de los creyentes y realización perfecta de la fe, gracias a Dios.

La Clave Religiosa del Libro de Ruth
4. CLAVE RELIGIOSA.
La Clave Religiosa del Libro de Ruth
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
El pueblo judío es profundamente religioso, los Hebreos yavistas y por lo tanto su religión era monoteísta, y tenían una conexión espiritual con el Rey David.
4.1. En lo Teológico.
El autor del libro de Ruth, quiso subrayar la idea que Dios Yavé puede ser reconocido y honrado por los integrantes de otros pueblos, aunque sean amonitas o moabitas, que han sido despreciados por sus contemporáneos. (En. 13,23).
El libro de Rut ha sido escrito sobretodo con un criterio teológico bien determinada. Su autor no quiso entregar verdades, de que Israel se olvidaba en los tiempos en que vivía. Sobretodo era el pensamiento de la Universalidad de la Salvación. Yavé llamó a la Salvación de Todos los Pueblos: primeramente a los judíos y después a los demás. Nadie podrá imponer restricciones a Dios en este sentido. En segundo termino, es la providencia de Yavé que se muestra patente en el libro de Rut. Yavé se preocupa de todos sus servidores. No abandona a nadie, quien no lo abandone antes a EL. Noemí es el caso clásico de esta verdad. Noemí, la viuda, cuando está en la miseria mayor, Yavé interviene con su ayuda divina, pues Dios es un Dios de Amor, de Bondad y de Misericordia.
4.2 En lo Moral.
En el libro de Ruth se observa un conjunto de comportamientos etico-religiosos, extraños para nosotros , pero congruentes para ellos conforme a su fe y a su cultura, por ejemplo a continuación mencionaremos tres aspectos:
1). En Rt. 4,7; Era entonces costumbre en Israel que para confirmar cualquier negocio, como rescate o cambio, una de las partes se sacaba su sandalia y se la diera al otro. Y este gesto servía como prueba del contrato.
2). En Rt. 1,7-22; nos enteramos cómo se encaminó Noemí hacia Belén con sus dos nueras, como volvió Orpá a Moab a las instancias de su suegra Noemí; y como se resolvió Rut a acompañar a su suegra a la parte que ella fuera diciendo: “Tu pueblo será mi pueblo, y tu Dios mi Dios, donde tu mueras, moriré allí y seré enterrada”.
3). En Rt. 2, 1-23; el Hagiógrafo, nos narra como encontró Rut a Boaz en el campo donde ella estaba espigando durante la cosecha. Booz era pariente cercano de Elimélek, esposo de Noemí, y tuvo la obligación de velar por sus familias.
4.3 En lo Ritual.
En Rt. 3; enseña la manera de proceder de Noemí para con Boaz, a quien quiso recordar la obligación de la ley del levirato, pues acorde con lo indicado en el Dt. 25, 5-10, el hermano debe suscitar prole a su hermano difunto, si el primero muere sin tener hijos. (Cfr. Gn. 38)
Y, en Rt.4,1-18; conocemos como llego a ser Ruth esposa de Boaz. Boaz presento a la asamblea de ancianos en presencia del pariente más cercano aún Elimélek; y cuando él renuncio a los derechos y obligaciones para con Noemí, Boaz se declaro dispuesto a cumplir con todos los requisitos.

Sobretodo era el pensamiento de la Universalidad de la Salvación. Yavé llamó a la Salvación de Todos los Pueblos: primeramente a los judíos y después a los demás. Nadie podrá imponer restricciones a Dios en este sentido. En segundo termino, es la providencia de Yavé que se muestra patente en el libro de Rut. Yavé se preocupa de todos sus servidores. No abandona a nadie, quien no lo abandone antes a EL. Noemí es el caso clásico de esta verdad. Noemí, la viuda, cuando está en la miseria mayor, Yavé interviene con su ayuda divina, pues Dios es un Dios de Amor, de Bondad y de Misericordia.
4.2 En lo Moral.
En el libro de Ruth se observa un conjunto de comportamientos etico-religiosos, extraños para nosotros , pero congruentes para ellos conforme a su fe y a su cultura, por ejemplo a continuación mencionaremos tres aspectos:
1). En Rt. 4,7; Era entonces costumbre en Israel que para confirmar cualquier negocio, como rescate o cambio, una de las partes se sacaba su sandalia y se la diera al otro. Y este gesto servía como prueba del contrato.
2). En Rt. 1,7-22; nos enteramos cómo se encaminó Noemí hacia Belén con sus dos nueras, como volvió Orpá a Moab a las instancias de su suegra Noemí; y como se resolvió Rut a acompañar a su suegra a la parte que ella fuera diciendo: “Tu pueblo será mi pueblo, y tu Dios mi Dios, donde tu mueras, moriré allí y seré enterrada”.
3). En Rt. 2, 1-23; el Hagiógrafo, nos narra como encontró Rut a Boaz en el campo donde ella estaba espigando durante la cosecha. Booz era pariente cercano de Elimélek, esposo de Noemí, y tuvo la obligación de velar por sus familias.
4.3 En lo Ritual.
En Rt. 3; enseña la manera de proceder de Noemí para con Boaz, a quien quiso recordar la obligación de la ley del levirato, pues acorde con lo indicado en el Dt. 25, 5-10, el hermano debe suscitar prole a su hermano difunto, si el primero muere sin tener hijos. (Cfr. Gn. 38)
Y, en Rt.4,1-18; conocemos como llego a ser Ruth esposa de Boaz. Boaz presento a la asamblea de ancianos en presencia del pariente más cercano aún Elimélek; y cuando él renuncio a los derechos y obligaciones para con Noemí, Boaz se declaro dispuesto a cumplir con todos los requisitos.

Se imagina Ud., lo agradable y la dicha de tener una amiga o compañera en la vida, que lo respete, que lo ame, o como se dice por acá en México, que lo apapache que le hagan piojito como lo hacen los periquitos de amor, y sea un honor en la vida familiar; pues bien, Rut, fue una mujer de nombre Bíblico, y un gran ejemplo de una sublime mujer, su nombre proviene del hebreo y significa amiga, aunque algunos diccionarios también la traducen como compañera. Desde luego, Ruth fue una gran mujer excepcional y un Libro Bíblico lleva su nombre y representa una joya de novela encantadora, narrada en cuatro interesantísimos capítulos, y que para algunos viene a ser el Epilogo del Libro de Jueces. Ruth, era extranjera, pues pertenecía al país Moab, entonces por ello se dice que ella era moabita. Ella se casó con un judío, y por ser una mujer excepcional en su integridad moral Dios la favoreció; Ruth figura como ancestro de David y de Cristo, acorde con la genealogía presentada en el Evangelio de Mateo.

1. LA CLAVE HISTÓRICA DEL LIBRO DE RUT
Por
Angel R. Cepeda D.
El autor sagrado, en Rt. 1, 1.6, nos introduce en la época de los Jueces, cuando vivía una familia Judía en Belén, que por hambre tuvo que emigrar al país de los moabitas. El individuo, era Elimelek y su esposa Noemí, los cuales tenían dos hijos: Majalón y Kilyón. Cuando se establecieron en la tierra de Moab, Elimélek murió; y, sus dos hijos, muy pronto contrajeron matrimonio, una de ellas se llama Orpá y la otra era Rut; y entonces sucedió, que en breve tiempo, murieron los dos hijos de Noemí y ella se quedo con sus dos nueras. Porque era extranjera, quiso volver otra vez a su patria: Belén de Juda.
Es la Historia de Rut, la Moabita que, tras la muerte de su marido, un hombre de Belén emigrado a Moab, vuelve a Juda con su suegra Noemí y se desposa con Booz, pariente de su marido, en cumplimiento de la ley del levirato; de este matrimonio nace Obed, que será el abuelo de David.
La novela de Rut, es una de las grandes obras del Midrash Histórico, redactado después del Exilio del pueblo de Israel de Babilonia, alrededor del año 400 a.C.(s. V-IV), cundo estaba en apogeo el Imperio Persa y en la Época cuando se afectuaba la Reforma de Esdras y Nehemias.
Esta bella y hermosa novela, es redactada por el Hagiógrafo, posiblemente, contra el sectarismo de algunos judíos: ¿Esdras? o ¿Nehemias? u ¿otros?; y aunque el tema del libro lo relaciona con el periodo de los Jueces, el libro reforma parte de la redacción deuteronornista, que se extiende desde Josué hasta el final de Reyes.

Doing Satan’s Work by Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATIONS N° 41
Doing Satan’s Work
By
Roger Behra
It is not a secret that Satan, his lessor demonic helpers, and his many earthly helpers have been in the business of capturing souls for him down through the ages, century after century until the present time. But the last century, 1901-2000, has been extremely productive and fruitful throughout the world and especially in the United States.
Most of the productive and fruitful activities of Satan during the last century began with World War 1(1914-1918). From then on he has had so many willing helpers. From 1914 to the present there have been nine major wars or large warlike activity going on in various parts of the world-World War 1, Germany and Spain, World War 2, Korean War (1950-1953), Russian Communist takeover wars, Vietnam War, Israel and Palestine Conflicts, Iran-Iraq War, wars in Afghanistan, and Iraq presently and for the past 5 years. Just between World War I and World War 2 over 60,000.000 people: men, women, and children have been killed. And more millions have been killed since the end of World War 2. Satan’s earthly helpers are the ones directly at fault. They get all the credit. And Satan and his demonic helpers have to be overjoyed, because the more people that die, the more souls he gains possession of. And the faster the because the more people who do the more souls he gains possession of. And the faster the better. And the more people who do the killings, the more potential soul he gains possession of later. It is clearly a win-win situation for him- the millions dying and those ding killing.
Aside from the war activities and their outcomes, in the United States and her culture, there are numerous avenues full of Satan’s work. In the U.S. we have the U.S. Supreme Court that allowed legal abortion. We have pedophile clergy in various religious denominations, adults in all walks of life abusing children, teacher-student sex crimes, Mafia criminal activity, prostitution proliferating, internet pornography proliferating, greed, laziness, identity theft, teen-age sex and abortion, teen-age and young adult gangs and murders, incest, co-habitation young and old, homosexuality (male and female), cheating in sports and on college campuses, atheism in several cultures because of communism, etc., etc. And it is no secret that the U.S. is slidly immersed in the 7 capital sins-pride, greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony, and sloth (laziness). And the self-glorification by persons is noticeable everywhere.
All that is mentioned above in paragraph 3 are works of Satan carried out by his earthly helpers as well, and along with those mentioned in paragraph 2. have gained a solid footing and have flourished during the last century and right to the present day. Thanks to the original counter-culture generation (A.K.A. BABY BOOMERS) and their descendants we now have the kind of culture that began during the last century (1964-2000) and now is in full bloom helping and keeping Satan’s plan. And it is very doubtful the counter-culture people have any remorse or regrets about their activities as great helpers of Satan, the prince of darkness and the most unspeakable evil. And because of greatly defective parenting and poor or non-existant moral guidance, their offspring continue to aid and abet Satan as ignorant and willing earthly helpers. Their offspring go through life half-developed whit no spiritual or moral development, no correct emotional development either. Only the mental and to some degree the physical development is developed. And in a large percentage of counter-culture descendents the mental and emotional is poorly developed to say the least, making them very poor examples of human beings, nearly total losses in their own culture. Our U.S. prisons are overflowing for these very reasons, also. Recently, on the radio news it was told that 50% of the high school students drop out of school. These dropouts are the future prison immates, homeless, and murder-suicide people.
The counter-culture people chose to bring Satan into their lives and culture. They handed their defective and Godless philosophy down to their children. And their grandchildren are now the recipients of the present world we live in. Gone are the pre-1964 cultural days in the U.S., when the cultural environment was God fearing and God serving and much more moral and spiritual. The general population was much more completely developed as humans. What we have today is such a sad situation, especially for all those many who did not accept or participate in the defective counter-culture philosophy, which has ruined the U.S. culture.

Visual Entertainment Pollution
SHORT COMMUNICATIONS N° 40
Visual Entertainment Pollution
By
Roger Behra
Everyone who has their moral compass working properly and is using it to lead them in the correct moral direction realizes without any doubt that television, movies, videos, and internet pornography are polluting the culture of the United States (and other countries most likely) at a very fast and serious pace since the year 2001. And it can be classified as the 4-D results- disturbing, disgusting, despicable, and depressing. All these forms of visual entertainment promote violence, promote sex promote vulgarity, and promote unhappy endings for the most part.
Many adults do not go to the movies anymore. They do not let their children go either. They are intelligent and moral enough to really follow this course. It is such a shame that the producers of such visual filth have excluded such a good number of fine population. And it is all for the sake of money. When it is revealed in the media that individual forms of movies gross many millions of dollars at the box office, it is a no-brainer that so many people have a very defective and immoral compass. They just pay their dollars and participate in these very morally objectionable movies, as they are a popular forms of visual entertainment.
One example of a new very disgusting movie is “Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show-30 Days and 30 Nights, Hollywood to the Heartland. “The comics in this movie are immersed in on-going vulgarity and so much explicit sexual humor. In 100 minutes of the movie the F-word is used 130 times. That movie is a perfect example of moral compasses gone astray, both on and off the screen. In days gone bye this would never be part of reality and intelligently and morally so.
Movie going is only part of the visual entertainment pollution problem. Videos are made of the movies and passed around. Then there is television that enters around 85% of homes. And young and old watch this form of entertainment constantly. Again, many adults do not watch, nor do they let their children watch prime-time or sitcom television. The producers have robbed them of their right to see morally acceptable entertainment.
There was a time when prime-time television and the sitcoms were a form of entertainment that families did watch together. The programs were very morally proper and really very entertaining to watch. It was a form of family togetherness. The counter-culture people have ruined that part of American life.
Growing by leaps and bounds now is internet pornography. It has entered millions of homes. This form of visual pollution is very seriously addictive. It has ruined lives, ruined many marriages, and ruined many relationships. This is a very increasingly dark cloud over life in America. Pray to God that you do not become part of this form visual pollution, this awful scourge.
The counter-culture people encourage the participation in these instruments of Satan through the production and distribution of these forms of visual moral pollution. The really sad part of all of this is there is no turning back to what used to be such good and wholesome visual entertainment. The die has been cast. It is here to stay as long as so many millions of moral compasses are pointed in the wrong direction. The present day situation is just another part of the disturbing, disgusting, despicable, and depressing counter-culture legacy. It’s very heart-warming to know that many people out there are not part of it, however.

More This and That by Roger Behra

More This and That
By
Roger Behra
CUBA
Fidel Castro has resigned. That does not mean that life in Cuba is going to get better any time soon. It’s going to be business as usual under his brother, Raul Castro. The people of Cuba still are the losers. Raul is just as much of a tyrant as his despicable brother. Cuba has been an unhappy place for over 50 years, AND MORE OF THE SAME is certain top come down the pike. Fidel Castro is going to go down in history as one of the most horrible and despicable leaders that ever existed, and he is going to pay the price soon, when he leaves this world and meets his Maker. Only God can forgive one of the most cruel and oppressive despots in the history of the world. He is one of the biggest communist mouths, showing of his leadership in that ugly military garb, his harangues against the United States while his own people were being murdered, tortured, beaten, and imprisoned. Thanks to him and his cronies the Cuban economy is among the worst in the world. Even Russia dumped that situation there. Over more than 1,000,000 Cubans have fled Cuba. Castro’s legacy is one of extreme cruelty, a nasty regime, imprisonment, murder, squelching of freedoms, and severe national poverty. He lookslike death warmed over. His appearance matches the looks of his soul-deplorable and pitiful. What a horrible life-review awaits him when he enters his eternity. And Hell will welcome one of the most awful human beings in the history of the world. Only God can forgive him. Oh! That’s right! A communist doesn´t believe in God. Therefore, no forgiveness is possible. Anyway, when the time comes, good riddance to him, one of the worst humans, one of men’s most horrendous enemies. Talk about man being man’s worst enemy, he absolutely is, and soon was.
GAY MARRIAGES
How can anyone with a correct moral compass that they follow be happy about gay marriages that fly in their faces because gay marriages make a mockery out of heterosexual marriages? Those who clap their hands and smile at gay marriages tell something crucial about their thinking, that their moral compass is defective and leading them in the wrong direction and doing the same in regards to other moral matters. Acceptance of the gay person, yes. Acceptance of gay behavior, no. Gay marriages are a from of gay behaviour, and, therefore, not at all acceptable. They are a travesty and a perversion, and most likely gravely sinful. Marriage is a sacrament instituted by God to give grace in the lives of the couples. Therefore, the opportunity is not to be squandered, taken lightly, or most of all perverted. Gays need to get a new moral compass, and the sooner the better.
UNITED STATES AND MEXICO
The lawmakers (politicians) in Washington are a bunch of nincompoops. They authorize and waste billions of dollars every month in Iraq and cannot come up with a workable and useful solution to the immigrant problem facing the United States. They cannot design a workable program to put immigrants (mostly from México) to work in the much needed agricultural fields and production in the United States. They are here simply because they want to work and the work is there for them to do.
At one time (1940’s-1975) the United States had the Bracero Work Program. The Mexican workers were here legally. They did great and much needed work. They did the work that Americans were unable to do because the men were in the armed forces by the millions. It was a very organized and workable program. It was very successful. So, it’s a no brainer. A new Bracero program, or an equivalent, should be formed A.S.A.P. That would greatly help with the illegal problem, put men to work, and keep agricultural production running smoothly. And maybe a fence would not be needed and the fence money would be used to pay for and support the program. However, it might be too late for the nincompoops in Washington to come to their senses and do something very worthwhile for a change.
OUR SINS REVISITED
Recently an article was read and a discussion was heard on a radio broadcast about Near-Death-Experiences (N.D.E.). They are now accepted by some medical practitioners, clergy, and people in general. The experiences related were positive mostly and negative in some cases, depending on the kind of life the individuals lived. But what was the same for each individual was the LIFE REVIEW. They learned that NOTHING was lost in time. The review was like a video in very fast motion, a video of every thought, word, and deed. Nothing was omitted. It was a never-to-be-forgotten experience. When the people returned to resume their lives, everyone changed their lives for the better, especially the lives for those who had a horrible or terrifying experience. One lady was being pulled down by horrifying demon type entities. If she would not have fought extremely hard, she would have gone down to a very certain black and terrifying eternity. The sooner we realize that nothing is lost in time, that we will see and hear everything said, thought, or done on earth will be revisited in life-review later, and that we will have to accept the consequences, the sooner we´ll decide to live the best and most sinless life possible. Actually, we should not need a N.D.E. to do that. The bottom line is the experiences of others have helped us immensely to realize what need to do to improve our lives while we have the time to do so.
COUNTER-CULTURE THINKING (AND RESULTS)
Most of the counter-culture thinking, which of course, leads to their actions is something to behold. Much of their thinking is defective and warped and leads to defective and warped actions and, therefore, leads to defective and warped results. It starts with the fact they think they can go through life making up their own rules as they go along, that everything is relative to the situation at hand. That king of thinking hurts them and others. They have a dislike for established and set rules. They just do not get it; that just because something contrary can be done doesn’t mean that you should go ahead and do it.
The first something that can be done is to leave God out of everyday life (which C-C people did but that definitely is not good thinking. The C-C people did just that when they threw out the old and brought in the (thinking). It was the beginning of their other warped and defective thinking, and for the most part doomed their legacy from the very start. Some other things that can be done but shouldn’t are:
Politeness- rudeness has replaced politeness, especially in stores, in automobiles, and in everyday associations.
The C-C people are driving their autos, they make up their own rules-ignore speed limits, cut quickly in front of someone without warning, instigate road-rage, give the middle-finger salute. And try to force you off the road.
The C-C people greatly emphasize money and sex. They seem to be the new gods in their life.
Teen-age and younger sex can be done, but it shouldn’t be done for very good reasons-pregnancy, abortions, venereal disease. To date (3-12-08) at least 3.2 million teen-age girls have at least one of the several venereal diseases.
Teen and young adults can murder each other, but they shouldn’t. Yet, that is exactly what they are doing.
Greed- is an absolute no-no. But the C-C people make it a way of life- high rents, high home costs, high food and gas prices, high utility prices, high taxes and many of them. The middle class is rapidly vanishing leaving only the upper and lower classes.
The list goes on and on and includes certainly a cold and irreligious society, common immorality, a very deficient education system, lack of jobs (hello, China), ignorant parenting, little or no spiritual development, OVEER-CROWDED PRISIONS, a large homeless population, out of-reach health care cost, etc., etc. A large group of countries hate the United States now, the very country that does so much to help other countries.
Demonic possession and the need for exorcisms have increased 800% since 1970, because much of the new C-C thinking uses the instruments of Satan. All of this is a direct outcome of their warped thinking and defective moral compasses.
So, many of the activities that the C-C people have been in charge of have ended in dismal failures. Over the past 44+ years their reign has been abominable and full of the upmost laziness. And when the have decided to act, it was in the wrong direction.
Right now, in the year 2008, the C-C people have given us a pathetic and abysmal present and more of the same coming in the future, especially for all their grandchildren. Many of the C-C people will not be able to retire – to expensive. A savings of $ 225,000 is needed just for heath care during their retirement.
It is appropriate to add here that a decent number of the C-C age group did not throw out the old in favor of the new, but they were badly out-numbered, sorry to say, and they became the victims along with the others. They deserve much credit. God is pleased with them for sure.
Unless the new 18 year-olds see and realize what 62 year-olds have given us and change things bring back God, faith, good morals, honesty, much less greed, much less emphasis on money and sex, less abortions, and the value and dignity of human life without celebrating themselves too much, America will continue to sail down the river of no return. There are many of these new 18 year-olds who see and realize. But the group needs to expend greatly. It’s nearly too late. It will take a generation of change to get the thinking and moral compasses headed in another and very changed and beneficial Godly direction. May God be with and immensely help the new generation. So many futures depend on that. Godspeed!
POLITICAL BAD BEHAVIOR
Several months ago in the United States a senator from a northern state was involved in an alleged mensroom incident which was spun and denied, but the evidence seemed to indicate otherwise. Some time ago a Washington politician was involved in using campaign funds for personal use. On Monday, March 17, 2008, the governor of New York has to resign because of his scandalous behavior and involvement in a prostitution ring. There is wiretap evidence that this has been going on for a long period of time. The governor is a 48 year-old male a second generation, counter-culture person, a first generation person of the original counter-culture generation, and he is in a heap of trouble. Along with his self-inflicted troubles, he brought disgrace to the position of governor, to the state of New York, and humiliation and suffering to his wife and daughters. When a person´s moral compass is greatly defective or, for the most part, non-existant, the end result is far reaching. When prominent leaders-politicians, teachers and clergy who are involved in child sexual abuse, greed and dishonesty in high places, and other tawdry actions become well-known, they bring the stench of the C-C movement directly into the glaring light of day. And the spotlight is directly shinning on the C-C people, on the United States, and the whole world. And that should not be any surprise. And along with the glaring light of day and the spotlight, there is the loss of faith people have in those elected to prominent positions or put in trusted positions. The stench is very strong and very disturbing to say the least, but it is not very surprising.

CUBA
Fidel Castro has resigned. That does not mean that life in Cuba is going to get better any time soon. It’s going to be business as usual under his brother, Raul Castro. The people of Cuba still are the losers. Raul is just as much of a tyrant as his despicable brother. Cuba has been an unhappy place for over 50 years, AND MORE OF THE SAME is certain top come down the pike. Fidel Castro is going to go down in history as one of the most horrible and despicable leaders that ever existed, and he is going to pay the price soon, when he leaves this world and meets his Maker. Only God can forgive one of the most cruel and oppressive despots in the history of the world. He is one of the biggest communist mouths, showing of his leadership in that ugly military garb, his harangues against the United States while his own people were being murdered, tortured, beaten, and imprisoned. Thanks to him and his cronies the Cuban economy is among the worst in the world. Even Russia dumped that situation there. Over more than 1,000,000 Cubans have fled Cuba. Castro’s legacy is one of extreme cruelty, a nasty regime, imprisonment, murder, squelching of freedoms, and severe national poverty. He lookslike death warmed over. His appearance matches the looks of his soul-deplorable and pitiful. What a horrible life-review awaits him when he enters his eternity. And Hell will welcome one of the most awful human beings in the history of the world. Only God can forgive him. Oh! That’s right! A communist doesn´t believe in God. Therefore, no forgiveness is possible. Anyway, when the time comes, good riddance to him, one of the worst humans, one of men’s most horrendous enemies. Talk about man being man’s worst enemy, he absolutely is, and soon was.
