The New Union Label: CLOSED

     Decades after organized labor necessarily improved working conditions for Americans, the movement is seriously spinning out of control. After many years of corruption, embezzlement, internal rifts, and horrible customer service, unions are no longer solving problems in the workplace... they have been creating them.
     I remember stories that my dad told at our supper table about his visits from the union leaders at bargaining time...& the large, bouncer-type "thugs" that they brought with them. This has been going on for years! Those same union heads never, to my knowledge, ever solicited on the Company's behalf to secure jobs to help the Co. be more profitable so that our family business could hire more workers...or to prevent us from laying off current workers!
     Labor leaders have duped many American workers for years into believing that paying union dues prevents them from losing their jobs. In fact, the opposite can be true! The demands that unions have made on employers have created a situation for them that makes their business less competitive and therefore less profitable. 
     After my dad passed and my mom inherited the company, I returned to work for the family business. I found myself frequently frustrated by the employees' attitudes; they continually reminded us that they were union employees. A running joke among management was that getting our workers to actually work was like "herding cats". 
     The environment was sometimes even volatile between employer/employees when we found it necessary to send them home early because of lack of work available. They preferred to congregate in the Co. garage rather than allow management to assign them manual labor necessary to maintain the property. This kind of situation makes it very difficult, sometimes impossible, to operate a successful, profitable small business.
     Today the family business that I grew up around is under new ownership and is no longer a union shop. I would venture to guess that it is easier and more enjoyable to operate. Albeit sad, it is probably true...& as an outsider watching improvements being made, I would venture to guess that it is also much more profitable.

We Know For Sure That Barack H. Obama is a Union Supporter

H/T: Breitbart.tv » Candidate Obama in 2007: As President I’ll Join Union Picket Lines



The unions are very significant financial supporters of all Democrat candidates, so it is not a surprise that President Barack H. Obama would take the side of the unions, and make a public statement like the one in the video above.  

It is also no surprise that he has broken the promise that he made in this video, given his history of brazenly breaking promises.

If the unions have their demands met, it will put more financial pressure on states and the taxpayers who pay the bills, and is in keeping with the modus operandi of President Obama up to this point in time, i.e. destruction of the middle class, and the United States in general.  


One thing that he is not is inconsistent.

Union Attacks on The Middle Class

The government schools in our country produce drones who are capable of working in government jobs only.  These people are not capable of critical thinking and will do whatever their union bosses tell them to do.  Here is an example: (ADVANCE THE VIDEO TO THE 7:30 MARK)



The Left calls for civility in discourse and at the same time employs strong-arm thuggery.  In the meantime, unsustainable government expenditures along with massive taxes to support those expenditures will bring an end to the middle class in America.  The middle class will be inexorably taxed into poverty, and the private sector will slowly disappear while, ironically, government unionists call the application of fiscal responsibility to this problem "an attack on the middle class".   

 

Where Are Your Voices?

This was written before the 2008 Presidential Election by Lori Kalner, who had lived in Germany at the time Adolph Hitler came to power:

In Germany, when Hitler came to power, it was a time of terrible financial depression. Money was worth nothing. In Germany people lost homes and jobs, just like in the American Depression in the 1930s, which... we have read about in Thoene's Shiloh books. In those days, in my homeland, Adolph Hitler was elected to power by promising 'Change.' He blamed the 'Zionists' around the world for all our problems. He told everyone it was greedy Zionist Bankers who had caused every problem we had. He promised when he was leader, the greedy Zionist bankers would be punished. The Zionists, he promised, would be wiped off the face of the earth. So Hitler was elected to power by only 1/3 the popular vote. A coalition of other political parties in parliament made him supreme leader. Then, when he was leader, he disgraced and expelled everyone in parliament who did not go along with him. Yes. Change came to my homeland as the new leader promised it would. The teachers in German schools began to teach the children to sing songs in praise of Hitler. This was the beginning of the Hitler Youth movement. It began with praise of the Fuhrer's programs on the lips of innocent children. Hymns in praise of Hitler and his programs were being sung in the schoolrooms and in the play yard. Little girls and boys joined hands and sang these songs as they walked home from school. My brother came home and told Papa what was happening at school. The political hymns of children proclaimed Change was coming to our homeland and the Fuhrer was a leader we could trust. I will never forget my father's face: Grief and fear. He knew that the best propaganda of the Nazis was song on the lips of little children. That evening before he said grace at the dinner table, he placed his hands upon the heads of my brothers and me and prayed the Living Word upon us from Jeremiah 1:4-5:

'Now the Word of the Lord came to me, saying,'Before I formed you in the Womb I knew you, And before you were born I Consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to The nations.'


Soon the children's songs praising the Fuhrer were heard everywhere on the streets and over the radio. 'With our Fuhrer to lead us, we can do it! We can change the world!' Soon after that Papa, a pastor, was turned away from visiting elderly parishioners in hospitals. The people he had come to bring comfort of God's Word, were 'no longer there.' Where had they vanished to while under nationalized health care? It became an open secret. The elderly and sick began to disappear from hospitals, feet first as 'mercy killing' became the policy. Children with disabilities and those who had Down's syndrome were euthanized. People whispered, 'Maybe it is better for them now--Put them out of misery. They are no longer suffering?And, of course, their death is better for the treasury of our nation. Our taxes no longer must be spent to care for such a burden.' And so murder was called mercy.


The government took over private business. Industry and health care were 'nationalized.' (NAZI means National Socialist Party) The businesses of all Jews were seized. (Perhaps you remember our story in Berlin on Krystalnacht in the book Munich Signature)


The world and God's word were turned upside down. Hitler promised the people economic Change. Not change. It was, rather, Lucifer's very ancient Delusion leading to Destruction. What began with the propaganda of children singing a catchy tune ended in the deaths of millions of children. The reality of what came upon us is so horrible that you in this present generation cannot imagine it. Our suffering is too great to ever tell in a book or show in a black and white newsreel. When I spoke to Bodie about some of these things, she wept and said she could not bear to write them. Perhaps one day she will, but I asked her, 'who could bear to read our suffering?' Yet with my last breaths I warn every Christian and Jew now in the name of the Lord, Unless your course of the church in America is spiritually changed now and returns to the Lord, there are new horrors yet to come. I trembled last night when I heard the voices of American children raised in song, praising the name of Obama, the charismatic fellow who is claimed to be the American Messiah!


Yet I have heard what this man Obama says about abortion and the 'mercy killing' of tiny babies who are not wanted.


There are so few of us left to warn you. I have heard that there are 69 million Catholics in America and 70 million Evangelical Christians. Where are your voices? Where is your outrage? Where is passion and your vote? Do you vote based on an abortionist's empty promises and economics? Or do you vote according to the Bible? Thus says the Lord about every living child still in the womb:


'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you'


I have experienced the signs of the politics of Death in my youth. I see them again now. Christians! Unless you stand up now, you will lose your freedom of religion. In America priests and preachers have already lost their freedom to speak openly from their pulpits of moral danger in political candidates. They cannot legally instruct you as to which candidate holds fast to the precepts of scripture! American law forbids this freedom of speech to conservative pastors or they will lose their 'tax exempt' status. And yet I have heard the words of Obama's pastor Damning America! I have heard the words of Obama damning and mocking all of you in small towns because you 'Cling to your religion?' But I am a woman whose name is unknown. My life is recorded as a work of fiction.. I have no fear of reprisal when I speak truth to you from the pages of a book. (Though the Zion Covenant books are mocked and condemned by the Left in America.) I am an old woman and will soon go to be with my Lord. I have no fear for myself, but for all of you and for your children, I tremble. I tremble at the hymns to a political leaders which your children will sing at school. (Though even now a hymn or a prayer to God and our Lord Jesus is against the law in public school!) Your vote must put a stop to what will come upon America if Barrack Obama is elected.


I pray you will personally heed this warning for the sake of your children and your grandchildren. Do not be deceived. The Lord in Jeremiah 1:7-8 commands every believer to speak up!


'Do not say, 'I am only a youth,' for to all whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them for I am with you, declares the Lord!'


I am in Prayer for you, and for the Church! Spoken to you in the authority of Jesus the Christ, the Name Above All Names, Lori Kalner

Obama Nation: Demonstrating Priorities

H/T Hudnall and Lash - Obama Nation: Demonstrating Priorities




































In 2009, the Green Movement arose in Iran.  From all that can be known, this was a true grass-roots uprising of the citizens of Iran who wanted to be free from the oppression of their government.  Ironically, the oppressive theocracy that exists in Iran now (and has since the Carter years) was made possible in large part by the policies and actions (and inaction) of President Jimmy Carter.  Had President Obama given support to the Green Movement in 2009, the situation in Iran may have been very different today, and for that matter so might the situation in Egypt as well.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has been planning for this time since the 1970s, waiting for the proper setting to impose themselves into control of Egypt and the strategic and critical Suez Canal, along with the the southwest border of Israel.   In a replay reminiscent of the 1970s, President Obama enables Muslim Fundamentalists to take over Egypt in 2011, just as President Carter did a little over 30 years ago in Iran.  

Take it away, Jimmah....





















President Carter's one term came to an end and the US was blessed with his successor, President Reagan.  We can only pray that God finds favor to bless our country in similar fashion this time around.  

For those like me who can remember the National Malaise of Jimmy Carter's Presidency, I know that you can see the parallel with our Current President.  My fervent hope is that we can experience a National Rebirth this time around as we did when Ron Reagan's vision of the Shining City on The Hill became our rallying cry.

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY,
RONALD WILSON REAGAN!

Closing The Suez Canal



What happens to the United States if the Suez Canal closes? What happens if the Suez Canal comes under the control of an Egyptian government that is hostile to the USA and The West? 
 
Instead of closing the Suez Canal, maybe they will just increase the cost of a transit of the canal to an exorbitant level. Maybe the number and type of transits will be limited.

Why should anyone in the US even care? We will be forced to care even if any of the above happens. The reason that we will care is that the cost of gasoline at the pump will increase, and it will increase A LOT. 

If the Suez Canal closes, the only alternative for ship transport of oil from the Middle East will be around the Horn of Arfica. This would result in greatly increased travel time and cost for the oil tankers, and the maritime conditions off of The Horn are much less stable than a transit through the Suez. 

If the new Egyptian government decides to leave the canal open but change the rules and/or cost of travel through, both the cost and supply could be affected. Think in terms of a Muslim theocracy in Egypt making The West pay the jizya tax indirectly through the oil tanker transit charges. 

Coupled with the self-imposed crippling of US offshore oil production by the Administration of Barack H. Obama, the events in Egypt could very well result in prices at the pump that are double or even triple or more. Additionally, the cost for all goods and services will increase on top of the cost at the gas pump. 

How will the events in Egypt and the disposition of the Suez Canal affect you in the USA? The exact results remain to be seen, but for a conservative estimate, take your monthly gasoline budget and double it, add 35% to your grocery bill, and you will begin to see the possibilities.

A Sign Of Our Time

H/T Woodsterman "A Sign Of Our Time"


























Read the sign above very closely.  This is where the United States is headed unless a drastic change back toward The Rule Of Law under The Constitution happens, pronto!
