The original title of the essay below is “Food For Thought,” its author is said to be Junius P. Long.

America: A Country Run by Idiots

1. If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally, you live in a country run by idiots.
2. If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion, you live in a country run by idiots.
3. If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote on who runs the government, you live in a country run by idiots.
4. If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt, you live in a country run by idiots.
5. If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you live in a country run by idiots.
6. If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you live in a country run by idiots.
7. If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you live in a country run by idiots.
8. If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of grade school for saying his teacher’s “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable, you live in a country run by idiots.
9. If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones, you live in a country run by idiots.
10. If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working, with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but can’t find work, you live in a country run by idiots.
11. If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government, you live in a country run by idiots.
Betcha you can come up with more!

THE EAGLE WILL BE PIERCED WITH ARROWS FROM THE NORTH

Folks, Russia is not messing around here. These exercises are for practice for the real thing.

We are close to the demise of the US.  People will mourn for us - but will say that the US deserved it.  I expect that I will be among those.   People get what they deserve for insolence.  You can only whack the bee's  nest so many times before they come out in force and sting with impunity.  We are whacking the political bee's nest.  Have been for decades:

SNOWPOCALYPSE - THIS COULD BE THE HARD WINTER?? I THOUGHT THIS WAS LAST WINTER

Maybe not??

Not sure what to make of it - apparently, this is sattire.  You can tickle your funny bone with it, but the kids are supposed to go to the waterslides for a school party on Tuesday......  Not so sure as S. Alberta is supposed to get measurable snow the next few days.  Hard to believe after such a balmy Sabbath.

The Farmer's Almanac also predicts a very hard winter.  Time to pull the tomato plants in.

THE ANSWER TO WHO KILLED KENNEDY - SECRET COMBINATIONS

Do not fear what is coming upon this nation.  For it is what will be required to root out the organization that killed Kennedy.  Look at who he was criticizing, and you will have your answer as to who killed him.......

In order to begin the Millennial peace, that organization has to be snuffed completely out.  I, for one, will endure anything to see it happen.  The previous generation dropped the ball and let these human pieces of trash take over.  Now our generation must pay the price.

MORE ON THE FOUR ANGELS

Here is more on the four angels from the previous posts:

Here is DS on the topic of Raphael and the other 3 "Great Angels":

"Now, I want to take another detour into parsing things in a way that you might not have considered before and for this I want to go to Doctrine and Covenants section 128 and look at verse 21. This is Joseph’s letter to the church that got canonized. He talks about all the stuff that has gone on in the process of getting the restoration fully established through him back upon the earth. He mentions in this letter these things had happened:
"And again, the voice of God in the chamber of old Father Whitmer, in Fayette, Seneca county, and at sundry times, and in divers places through all the travels and tribulations of this Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!" [So the voice of God has been there throughout all of this. As Joseph presided and as the Church rolled forth.] "And the voice of Michael, the archangel; the voice of Gabriel,”[“El” being the name of God] “and of Raphael, and of divers angels, from Michael or Adam down to the present time, all declaring their dispensation, their rights, their keys, their honors, their majesty and glory, and the power of their priesthood; giving line upon line, precept upon precept; here a little, and there a little; giving us consolation by holding forth that which is to come, confirming our hope!"
I want to remind you that Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are known to us by other names and roles while they were mortal. As those who have come, though they were part of the El, or in the plural form, the Eloheim, they came into mortality and they served here among us. They came and they ministered here. Michael descended, and he came to the earth and he was known as the man Adam in mortality. Gabriel came to the earth and he was known in mortality as the man Noah. There is a big debate over the identical to the Raphael. I will tell you what I think and you can take it or leave it. Raphael is the name that was given to the man who in mortality we know as Enoch.
Now there are four angels who preside over the four corners of the earth. Joseph surely knew that. Joseph’s letter mentions the names of three of the four. But he leaves the fourth one out. And I find the absence of the fourth one rather extraordinary. Now the fourth one's name is Uriel, also one of the Eloheim. There are certainly some who believe the reason for omitting his name from the letter was because Joseph Smith was Uriel. I do not subscribe to that belief.
Although there are those who will absolutely cry heresy, and throw dirt on their hair, and tear their clothes because they are scholars, and they are bona fide, and they know I'm talking out of my hat—but I'd remind you that Joseph talked out of his hat too. That fourth and missing, unmentioned angel, Uriel, in mortality was known to us as John, the one who was beloved of the Lord.

These are the four great angels at the four corners of the earth. Adam is the one in the East, the angel who is considered the one who presides over and has control of the air. Which is apt because onto Adam was given the breath of life in the beginning. Raphael is in the South, and he is associated with the power of fire, which is apt because of his fiery ascent with his people into heaven. Gabriel is the angel in the West who has the power over water, which is apt because in mortality, he survived through the Flood. And Uriel, though not mentioned, is the one who in the North has the power over the earth, which is apt because he remains upon the earth and he is the guardian at one gate with Elijah at the other end. But you can take and leave all that as you will. I find the mention here in this letter by Joseph, of these individuals and these powers, and these four, three of whom are named, the fourth of whom, potentially is unnamed, to be interesting. Though he does mention “divers angels for Michael or Adam down to the present time.” Orem, p. 31-32

WHAT IS IN A NAME - ORIGINS OF ENGLISH SURNAMES

Considering what is going on in the world, another junk topic - but interesting nonetheless:

There Are 7 Types of English Surnames — Which One Is Yours?

[Photo credit: Shutterstock]

Many of us have surnames passed down to us from ancestors in England. Last names weren’t widely used until after the Norman conquest in 1066, but as the country’s population grew, people found it necessary to be more specific when they were talking about somebody else. Thus arose descriptions like Thomas the Baker, Norman son of Richard, Henry the Whitehead, Elizabeth of the Field, and Joan of York that, ultimately, led to many of our current surnames.

  GIVE ME ACCESS

There are perhaps 45,000 different English surnames, but most had their origins as one of these seven types.
Occupational
Occupational names identified people based on their job or position in society. Calling a man “Thomas Carpenter” indicated that he worked with wood for a living, while someone named Knight bore a sword. Other occupational names include Archer, Baker, Brewer, Butcher, Carter, Clark, Cooper, Cook, Dyer, Farmer, Faulkner, Fisher, Fuller, Gardener, Glover, Head, Hunt or Hunter, Judge, Mason, Page, Parker, Potter, Sawyer, Slater, Smith, Taylor, Thatcher, Turner, Weaver, Woodman, and Wright (or variations such as Cartwright and Wainwright) — and there are many more.
This kind of name also gave a clue about whom a servant worked for. Someone named Vickers might have been a servant to Mr. Vicker, and someone named Williams might either have served a William or been adopted by him.
From the obscure fact department: In medieval England, before the time of professional theater, craft guilds put on “mystery plays” (“mystery” meaning “miracle”), which told Bible stories and had a call-and-response style of singing. A participant’s surname — such as King, Lord, Virgin, or Death — may have reflected his or her role, which some people played for life and passed down to their eldest son.
Describing a personal characteristic
Some names, often adjectives, were based on nicknames that described a person. They may have described a person’s size (Short, Long, Little), coloring (Black, White, Green, or Red, which could have evolved into “Reed”), or another character trait (Stern, Strong, Swift). Someone named Peacock might have been considered vain.
From an English place name
A last name may have pointed to where a person was born, lived, worked, or owned land. It might be from the name of a house, farm, hamlet, town, or county. Some examples: Bedford, Burton, Hamilton, Hampshire, Sutton. Writer Jack London’s ancestor may have hailed from London.
From the name of an estate
Those descended from landowners may have taken as their surname the name of their holdings, castle, manor, or estate, such as Ernle or Staunton. Windsor is a famous example — it was the surname George V adopted for the British royal family.
From a geographical feature of the landscape
Some examples are Bridge, Brooks, Bush, Camp, Fields, Forest, Greenwood, Grove, Hill, Knolles, Lake, Moore, Perry, Stone, Wold, Wood, and Woodruff. Author Margaret Atwood is probably descended from someone who lived “at the wood.”
Patronymic, matronymic, or ancestral
Patronymic surnames (those that come from a male given name) include Benson (“the son of Ben”), Davis, Dawson, Evans, Harris, Harrison, Jackson, Jones (Welsh for John), Nicholson, Richardson, Robinson, Rogers, Simpson, Stephenson, Thompson, Watson, and Wilson.
Matronymic ones, surnames derived from a female given name, include Molson (from Moll, for Mary), Madison (from Maud), Emmott (from Emma), and Marriott (from Mary).
Scottish clan names make up one set of ancestral surnames. These include Armstrong, Cameron, Campbell, Crawford, Douglas, Forbes, Grant, Henderson, Hunter, MacDonald, and Stewart.
Signifying patronage
Some surnames honored a patron. Hickman was Hick’s man (Hick being a nickname for Richard). Kilpatrick was a follower of Patrick.
Wondering whether your family name is English? Try plugging your surname into the Ancestry.com Last Names Meanings and Origins widget. Type in the surname “Duffield,” and you’ll see it’s English, a “habitational name from places in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire, so named from Old English Dufe ‘dove’ + feld ‘open country.’”

ONE MILLION AND FOUR

Sounds like tomorrow could be the day this dog and pony show hits one million......  Very happy that something that started out with 10-20 hits in a day has gotten off the ground so nicely.  It has been a fun journey.  In some ways, it has been my temporal and spiritual salvation - and definitely a great outlet for sharing in these difficult and unbelieving times.  It is discouraging to tell people and have it rejected to my face - but much more encouraging and helpful to know that I can reach people around the world and tell them that time is short and that they need to prepare - and then to see them doing so.

Thank you for your readership.  I am not sure how much longer I will be able to keep it up.  I expected to hit one million around November and that the internet would be heavily censored or non-existent at that point.  Things have exceeded my expectations for sure.

We have had many small miracles on our move to Canada.  Thank you for your prayers - and please continue to pray for us on our unusual journey to the land northward.

Here is something interesting on the possible identity and names of the four angels mentioned in scripture:

http://johnpratt.com

This is what brother Pratt says about it:

Thus, Enoch was shown all the governing stars and learned their names. Now let us turn to identifying the four angels represented by the four principal or "royal" stars. These stars are first, Regulus, the bright star at the heart of the Lion. The second star is Antares, the red star at the heart of the Scorpion, and also in the foot of the Serpent Bearer. The third star is Fomalhaut, the bright star both in the head of the Southern Fish and also in the stream of water being poured out by the Water Bearer. The fourth royal star is Aldebaran, the flaming red eye of the white Bull.

"After this I besought the angel of peace, who proceeded with me, to explain all that was concealed. I said to him, Who are those whom I have seen on the four sides, and whose words I have heard and written down? He replied, the first is the merciful, the patient, the holy Michael.
"The second is he who presides over every suffering and every affliction of the sons of men, the holy Raphael. The third who presides over all that is powerful, is Gabriel. And the fourth, who presides over repentance, and the hope of those who will inherit eternal life, is Phanuel. These are the four angels of the most high God" (Enoch 40:8-9)

Michael: Adam (Regulus-the bright star at the heart of the Lion)

Raphael: Enoch (Antares-the red star at the heart of the Scorpion, and also in the foot of the Serpent Bearer)

Gabriel: Noah (Fomalhaut-the bright star both in the head of the Southern Fish and also in the stream of water being poured out by the Water Bearer)

Phanuel: Joseph Smith (Aldebaran-the flaming red eye of the white Bull)

And more:

Raphael is an Archangel. He reports directly to Michael ( Adam). Thereby Brother Raphael is known by another name in mortality, to which I am not permitted to divulge here, and only as directed. There are those here that also know his Earthly identity. There are multiple classes of Angels, this we know, but even they have earned their stations dependent upon their own completions and faithfulness in their own respective eternal rounds. Just as we mortals are doing in our own eternal rounds.

Raphael is in charge of all healing of Heavenly Father and Mother's children. When you call upon help from above to help aid those in sickness, it is he that comes an personally administers to fulfill his assignment, if it is Father's will!

Raphael is more readily available to us because we are all need of some sort of healing, thus he is waiting to connect with Father and Mother's children directly, if we desire this. Raphael teaches us how to heal ourselves, and how to help teach others who are willing to receive this truth, light, and knowledge. It is very common that those who practice the art of healing as directed from Above know Raphael well, and will seek his guidance in doing so. 

NOW HERE IS SOME IRONY......

A NATO warship Sebastopol....... The port the Russians were fighting over in the south of Ukraine.

Hilarious.

At least there is some comedic relief in the coming doom.....

THIS MIGHT BE FOR REAL - OR AN EXERCISE WHERE THEY ARE PLANNING TO EXECUTE THE REAL DEAL AFTER THE PRACTICE

I have heard it before - and I will repeat it here; Putin is the master chess player.  The West is being played.....

Here is a comment worth re-posting here about the borders closing.  My wife and I are south of it tonight and I cannot wait to be back in the land of little national debt and amongst a people who do not lust after war and allow their leaders to engage in it.  I have lost much faith in the former land of promise and freedom.

My husband served a mission back in the late 70's in Ontario. N Eldon Tanner was visiting with the missionaries & my husband remembers him saying that the Stakes of Zion in Canada needed to be built up... especially for when the borders close. That's a little piece of info you just don't forget.

Interesting, indeed......

For the naysayers out there, this is from the horse's mouth, so to speak......  Do not be the other end of that particular animal or it's cousin.......  Be believing.  It is coming.

TENSE IN UKRAINE

Sheesh.  I do not want to even leave Canada - for the prospect of them closing the border after we get nailed with a few nukes.  This kind of talk is serious.......  Putin is extremely irritated with NATO.....
