Who is Xenu?

Seriously Read this in its entirety.

I'm going to tell you a story. Are you sitting comfortably? Right, then I'll begin.

Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack.

Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were overpopulated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.

Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).

These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.

The story doesn't end there though. Since everyone has a soul (called a "thetan" in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper).

After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called "implanting".

When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.

As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today.

That is the end of the story. And so today everyone is full of these clusters of souls called "body thetans". And if we are to be a free soul then we have to remove all these "body thetans" and pay lots of money to do so. And the only reason people believe in God and Christ was because it was in the film their body thetans saw 75 million years ago.

Well what did you think of that story?

What? You thought it was a stupid story?

Well so do we. However, this story is the core belief in the religion known as Scientology.* If people knew about this story then most people would never get involved in it. This story is told to you when you reach one of their secret levels called OT III. After that you are supposed to telepathically communicate with these body thetans to make them go away. You have to pay a lot of money to get to this level and do this (or you have to work very hard for the organisation on extremely low pay for many years).

We are telling you this story as a warning. If you become involved with Scientology then we would like you to do so with your eyes open and fully aware of the sort of material it contains.

Now you have read this you know their big secret. Don't let us put you off joining though.

* Dianetics and Scientology are trademarks of the Religious Technology Centre. This document is not connected with that organisation in any way. Most of the Scientologists who work in their Dianetics* centres and so called "Churches" of Scientology do not know this story since they are not allowed to hear it until they reach the secret "upper" levels of Scientology. It may take them many years before they reach this level if they ever do. The ones who do know it are forced to keep it a secret and not tell it to those people who are joining Scientology.

Palin Blessed by 'Witchhunter'

From The Times Online


The pastor whose prayer Sarah Palin says helped her to become governor of Alaska founded his ministry with a witchhunt against a Kenyan woman who he accused of causing car accidents through demonic spells.

At a speech at the Wasilla Assembly of God on June 8 this year, Mrs Palin described how Thomas Muthee had laid his hands on her when he visited the church as a guest preacher in late 2005, prior to her successful gubernatorial bid.

In video footage of the speech, she is seen saying: “As I was mayor and Pastor Muthee was here and he was praying over me, and you know how he speaks and he’s so bold. And he was praying “Lord make a way, Lord make a way.”

“And I’m thinking, this guy’s really bold, he doesn’t even know what I’m going to do, he doesn’t know what my plans are. And he’s praying not “oh Lord if it be your will may she become governor,” no, he just prayed for it. He said “Lord make a way and let her do this next step. And that’s exactly what happened.”

She then adds: “So, again, very very powerful, coming from this church,” before the presiding pastor comments on the “prophetic power” of the event.

An African evangelist, Pastor Muthee has given guest sermons at the Wasilla Assembly of God on at least 10 occasions in his role as the founder of the Word of Faith Church, also known as the Prayer Cave.

Pastor Muthee founded the Prayer Cave in 1989 in Kiambu, Kenya after “God spoke” to him and his late wife Margaret and called him to the country, according to the church’s website.

The pastor speaks of his offensive against a demonic presence in the town in a trailer for the evangelical video “Transformations”, made by Sentinel Group, a Christian research and information agency.

“We prayed, we fasted, the Lord showed us a spirit of witchcraft resting over the place,” Pastor Muthee says.

After the spirit was broken, the crime rate dropped to almost zero and there was “explosive church growth” while almost every bar in the town closed down, the video says.

The full Transformations video featuring Pastor Muthee’s story has recently been removed from YouTube but the rest of the story is detailed in a 1999 article in the Christian Science Monitor, as well as on numerous evangelical websites.

According to the Christian Science Monitor, six months of fervent prayer and research identified the source of the witchcraft as a local woman called Mama Jane, who ran a “divination” centre called the Emmanuel Clinic.

Her alleged involvement in fortune-telling and the fact that she lived near the site of a number of fatal car accidents led Pastor Muthee to publicly declare her a witch responsible for the town’s ills, and order her to offer her up her soul for salvation or leave Kiambu.

Says the Monitor, “Muthee held a crusade that “brought about 200 people to Christ”.” They set up round-the-clock prayer intercession in the basement of a grocery store and eventually, says the pastor “the demonic influence – the ‘principality’ over Kiambu –was broken”, and Mama Jane fled the town.

According to accounts of the witchhunt circulated on evangelical websites such as Prayer Links Ministries, after Pastor Muthee declared Mama Jane a witch, the townspeople became suspicious and began to turn on her, demanding that she be stoned. Public outrage eventually led the police to raid her home, where they fired gunshots, killing a pet python which they believed to be a demon.

After Mama Jane was questioned by police – and released – she decided it was time to leave town, the account says.

Pastor Muthee has frequently referred to this witchhunt in his sermons as an example of the power of “spiritual warfare”. In October 2005, he delivered ten sermons at the Wasilla Assembly of God, the audio of which was available on the church’s website until it was removed around the time Mrs Palin’s candidacy was announced. The blog Irregular Times has listings and screen grabs of the sermons.

It was during that these sermons that Mrs Palin, who was then preparing for her gubernatorial run, was anointed by Pastor Muthee. His intercession, she says, was “awesome”.

Her June 8 speech was to mark the graduation of students from the Wasilla Assembly of God’s Masters’ Commission, which, as Pastor Ed Kalins explains, believes Alaska will be the refuge for American evangelicals upon the coming “End of Days”. After her speech, Mrs Palin was presented with an honorary Masters’ Commission diploma.

The world around me pt.1

Look

I've had something on my mind for the past couple weeks.

O.K. so I keep reading articles and other blogs about the "war" in Iraq. Everyone saying that its pointless to be over there still and that we need to pull the troops out immediately. Saying that all we're doing is wasting lives ruining our economy and fighting a battle that isn't rightly ours to win.

First off this isn't a war. It was a war until we brought down Saddam's regime. Then it became a fight to give the Iraqi people the freedom they deserve and to rebuild what we had destroyed. We destroyed their homes and businesses. We did it and that makes it our responsibility to help rebuild and to keep them safe until such time as they are strong enough to do it on their own.

I don't agree with the reasons we invaded but we're there now and we cannot leave until we fixed what we destroyed. What would pulling out now show the rest of the hostile countries about America's devotion to any cause? It would show us to be weak. Hell just the oil prices going up has put out country in a panic. The bottom line is if we pull out before we have finished out job we will appear weak.

Our economy was doomed from the beginning. Our dependency on foreign oil is the cause. That and the fact that we are so far behind in our research on alternative energy sources. Oil is not a renewable resource. What are we going to do when its all gone? What then? You think gas prices are high now. Just wait. The day will come when we have no oil.

Think about it

More to come

Have you Forgotten

What has happened to our country? Why must we fuck up a good thing? Why can we celebrate what this hero has done for us? We may not see it in our towns and fellow citizens. Look into your cold dead hearts and that little bit of warmth in there is there because of men and women just like Matt. So forget the politics and just look at what the families of these fallen soldiers have gone through. What if it had been your father, your mother, husband, wife, brother, sister?? What if it was them? How would you feel? Where are the ticker-tape parades and the celebrating when our soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors come home? Why do they get hate and protesting? What have we become?

Think about it

I try to keep my work as professional without

discussing religion or politics until this past week,

everybody is entitled to their own opinion

but I just can't seem to understand some people.

Many people were complaining about Matt Maupin

saying that the media and the Tri state is making too big deal

out of his body coming home and that he is receiving too much attention.

I was beside myself as I found myself dipping

into many conversations this past week.

One of the conversations was about the Firefighters

that had recently died in a fire, they were complaining

about how their heroism should have been recognized more.

With showing no disrespect to the Firefighters

they chose that line of work they and there families

were fully aware of the risk involved in doing their job.

If a Firefighter was captured and put on display

for the whole country to watch, then brutally murdered

and their body was put in a ditch somewhere

not to be found for four years then they would also deserve

the respect and honor as Matt Maupin does.

People were complaining saying that they didn't do

all this for the other fallen solider's from the tri state area

and that they shouldn't name a part of the highway after Matt Maupin.

I say...

Who was Ezzard Charles?

Who was Martin Luther King Jr. ?

Who was Ronald Reagan?

Who is Pete Rose ?

These were all men who made an impact

in our community or in our country in one way or another .

The Tri state chose to name streets or highways

after these men because of who they were and what they stood for.

Who was Matt Maupin?

Matt was a 20 year old local young man who enrolled

in the University of Cincinnati Aerospace Engineering Program

using a scholarship that he received from winning a writing competition.

He joined the Army Reserves and worked

at a Sam's Club warehouse store,

shortly after his arrival in Iraq his convoy was ambushed

and he was captured by Iraqi insurgents.

He was the first MIA of this terrible war

and was made an example by the terrorist televising

a world wide video of him being held hostage alive

after one week of his disappearance.

One week later releasing another video

supposedly of his execution,

his body remained unaccounted for four years.

After four months of his capture and while

Matt's whereabouts remained a mystery,

his parents chose to make their son's face unforgettable

by founding a non profit organization,

The Yellow Ribbon Support Center,

so they could help other military men and women serving overseas.

The Yellow Ribbon Support Center

has sent 6,500 care packages and I forget the number

of laptops to our Troops in Iraq since 2004

and has set up a scholarship fund in Matt's name.

Matt's parents took something

that was so negative in their life,

turned it into something so positive.

While in the meantime getting Matt's face out there on

buttons and stickers and posters so their son was never forgotten

and so the military would find their son one way or another.

They didn't do this to become popular

or to get rich it was a pure act of patriotism and love for their son.

I proudly wore Matt's picture

and a little yellow ribbon pin on my shirt

through out the four years of his missing,

I didn't know him personally but I knew what his face stood for.

After 911 occurred I use to get so touched

while driving down the local highway seeing all the cars

with an American flag hanging out their window flapping in the wind.

Driving in the local neighborhood looking at the many houses

that proudly had signs saying "God Bless the USA"

hanging by an American flag.

The flags no longer flap in the wind,

for they became weathered and torn over the years

and most of the houses became bare showing little if any support.

Where is our patriotism at now ?

A local young man,a neighbor or a friend

unknowingly sacrificed his life for our freedom,

his family and he deserves the respect and the honor

and we as their neighbors should be proud to call their son our hero!

While driving home from work last night

I noticed that the fence on both sides of State route 32

was decorated with red and yellow Dixie cups,

they were pushed into the fence and shaped as a candle.

There was American flags

and hand made signs by local children.

At the light I turned around

and paused for a moment of reflection,

realizing with a sense of pride that this was part

of the path that was lighting the way

to bring our hero back to his home.

The place where his body will come to rest...

I wonder what if this was your son,

your brother,your nephew

or your husband ?

Would you let your hands be idle ?

or would you do everything possible

so that their face would not be forgotten!

Life will go on for all of us as we normally do...

Matt Maupin's name will become a part of our history,

not because he was Cincinnati's

only World Heavyweight Boxing Champion,

or an American clergymen and one of the principal leaders

of the American civil rights movements.

He was not a president

of the United States or a Cincinnati baseball player,

he was a soldier that represented our freedom

that we live and breathe everyday.

I got several peoples input on writing this,

one person told me that I was the voice of many...

I think that I'm one voice of the many people

who has not forgotten and Matt Maupin is the face of all.
