Citizens Who Have Lost in the War On Drugs

As I read of little BouBou's situation, I was sickened, and that's not a strong enough word.  I'm disgusted by what we've allowed in this country.  This little boy is fighting for his life because a SWAT team landed a grenade in his crib in the middle of the night.  His sisters awaken screaming in the night after the home in which they were staying was violently invaded by law enforcement looking for drugs.  This is not the first time a no-knock warrant in Atlanta has caused life and death damage at the wrong address.  The guy they were looking for didn't live there.

The Local report indicates this little boy is making an amazing recovery, but this reporter says, that child should not have to be recovering!  Hopefully this little guy will recover, but he'll never be the same.  This trauma will affect him throughout his life.  Not only was he injured needlessly, his mother was allegedly prevented from comforting him.  I honestly do not know how those who can commit such atrocities can sleep at night or look at themselves in the mirror.

When Atlanta was mentioned in the article, I remembered another case of a no-knock warrant in which a 92 year old woman was killed and three cops busted for falsifying information and planting drugs in an attempt to cover their mistake.  Again, the wrong address.  Police officers were injured in that raid, but it was not from Mrs. Johnston's attempt to defend herself.  There was so much gunfire, the cops actually shot each other.  Mrs. Johnston got one round off from a rusty old revolver as her door was being broken down, hitting no one.

We need to stop and think.  Most people, will do everything to protect themselves and their homes.  In the case of no-knock warrants, often the home is in a less than upscale part of town, which often means higher crime rates.  The theory that a no-knock warrant prevents the disposal of evidence doesn't really carry enough weight to warrant the loss of life.  If I lived in a high crime area, and someone was breaking my door in, I'd be aiming to shoot if I was armed.  Most people would.  That's why some states have the castle law.

As I read these articles, I guess the only way to tell the "good guys" with a no-knock warrant from the burglars and vandals would be the fact burglars and vandals are likely to be quieter while breaking and entering . . .

When a 92 year old woman and a 2 year old baby boy are not safe in their own home from police, we really need to evaluate our definition of democracy, republic, freedom, serve and protect.

Our Children

I couldn't help but draw parallels between these two horrendous stories linked below.  I think of the mantra, "it takes a village to raise a child."  Perhaps we should not have the village idiots watching the children.  Maybe it's time to assess just how many idiots this village has.

I followed the Pelletier case through the courts and appeals, praying for this family.  As I watched the teen continue to deteriorate I could not understand how the judges could be so blind.  I understand doctors have their god complex and cover each other well, but the judges had nothing to gain by keeping that girl under poor medical care.  The young lady had done very well for years being treated for a diagnosis, that as we can now see, can be devastating without proper care.

When she went into the hospital for whatever the issue was because her doctor was out of town, the original issue was lost in the power grab.  When the parents questioned the misdiagnosis, the hospital immediately summoned children's services.  That phone call ultimately turned into 16 months of mishandling a human being, mistreatment of a medical condition, disregard of parental and patient rights, and an outrageous miscarriage of justice in the legal system.

Meanwhile, in a hospital a little five year old boy died, allegedly at the hands of his mother.  The term   "Munchausen syndrome by proxy" has been mentioned in reports, but what caught my attention, was the medical history of this child.  The child was five days old when he was first taken to the hospital for ear infection and high fever.  At ten weeks, it was something else.  Medical records indicate the child had been hospitalized 23 times in his short life, yet that raised no flags for intervention?  The following paragraph was taken from an article linked below.

>>>The Florida Department of Children and Families revealed in April that they've had a file on Spears since 2011, when an anonymous call voicing concerns about her parenting was made to their abuse hotline.

And prior to that, in 2009 while the family lived in Alabama, Garnett suffered severe seizures and had to be flown by helicopter to a Decatur hospital and resuscitated.<<<

How does the same "system" knowingly allow one child to be returned to a potentially dangerous situation and just "keep a file," while another child is held to deteriorate in that same "system?"

Rather than just come out and say never before were the medicine men and elders of any culture the village idiots, I'll be more tactful.

Never in the history of civilization has an society sanctioned the authority of health care to poor judgment.

The Apostle Paul did sound fair warning:  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with G-d. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.  I Corinthians 3:19

One World Religion

I'll be honest here, I'm not a fan of Joel Osteen.  My issue isn't really with his prosperity teaching, as that's been around long before anyone had seen his smiling face.  I don't care how much money he has or how big his house is.  What truly concerns me is the number of people who trust him.  There are thousands, tens of thousands who truly believe he is sharing the truth of the G-d.  He is very influential.

I did truly feel sorry for him in the interview where it was obvious Piers Morgan was trying to put him on the spot. The discomfort in searching for just the right way to state a Biblical view, was obvious; but it was the interview after visiting Rome deeply troubled me.


As the Pope claims power in his "man-made authority" to redefine good and evil, any person with religious clout who promotes him, is misleading people.  There are about 1.2 billion Catholics in the world.  If Israel continues to entertain the Vatican and the mega-church celebrities promote unity with the Pope, we could be witnessing the New World Order religion coming together.

The Agenda

As I consider the last year, in which we were told the "gay rights" would not affect anyone else, I'm taken aback.  There is a Colorado businessman who has been "legally assaulted" and the Boy Scouts of America have been invaded, and yet . . . there is a place in which it is completely acceptable to exclude Boy Scouts . . . and a place where heterosexuality is not at all welcomed.
