Every hobbyist needs accurate storage solutions, from wire shelves to plastic storage bins. With the focus these days on home makeovers and de-cluttering your home, the need for good, effective storage solutions has never been greater. This list of storage solutions for the "big five" hobbies that cause the most clutter (namely scrapbooking, mechanical repairs, fly-fishing, arts and crafts and DIY), will expand your knowledge of how to keep your rooms tidy!
Scrapbooking
This hobby is taking the world by storm! All around the nation women (and men) are getting together to create long-lasting memories on boards and in books that will appeal to all age groups. Some do it for their own keepsakes, some do it for gifts for others, but all do it for their pleasure. However, what is not such a great aspect of this hobby is the clutter that comes with it. From pencils to paper, scissors to stickers, clutter abounds with this craft. Make sure you know which storage container is right for you!
Deep satchels: The traditional "sewing box" storage container offers a multiplicity of locations for your pens and stickers. However, not all satchels are wide or long enough for your needs, so shop around before you invest.
Interlocking storage cabinets: Divide and conquer with these modular cabinets. Each cabinet has deep drawers, dividing your clutter into visible sections while enabling you to customise your cabinets in any way that suits you. For effective storage, the interlocking capabilities of these cabinets and drawers allow you to add and detract as you see fit!
For an effective storage solution for your hobby room, either of these two solutions will aid in your de-cluttering campaign!
Mechanical repairs
For those of you with bigger aspirations for your vehicle, storage solutions must be large and easily cleaned unless you appreciate the stains of grease and oil. As most mechanical repairs take place in the garage of your home, the storage should effectively take the clutter away from the floor and up onto the walls or roof. From hammers to hinges, oil canisters to spare spark plugs, there is a large, easily cleanable storage solution for you!
Tip out bins: Plastic bins that are able to tip out are perfect for larger implements of your hobby. For instance, clear plastic storage bins are an ideal way of storing delicates which need to be viewed before they are pulled off the shelf.
The correct shelving makes all the difference! Wire shelving is an excellent solution for any heavy material, as it can take the knocks and support the heavy materials that an ordinary shelf may not be able to handle.
A workshop is a messy environment. This is where having a thick plastic bin comes into play. Having a bin made from black material hides the dirt and grime which is ever-present. Stackable storage crates also minimises the amount of space needed and provide a neat solution for a cramped environment.
Yes it’s true; the tried and tested method of storing comic books in cardboard boxes is officially passé. Water, dust and nosy little brothers are all capable of damaging your most valuable Spiderman or Superman comics.
Do not forget to use acid-free backing boards when sealing your comics in their plastic covers. Your safest bet would be to then store them in stackable storage containers for safekeeping.

FOREWARD The corporate media harbors hundreds of CIA propagandists and fawning loyalists who find revelations concerning domestic political assassinations inconvenient and stroll by with little comment. The agency and organized crime have, for over thirty years, engaged in a program to silence popular musicians whose influence subverts the cynical thought control tactics of American government and media.
This book is an attempt to return that evidence to the historical record.
PRELUDE.. Assassination Politics of the Vietnam War period.
Former CIA Richard Ober, director of OPERATION CHAOS... the most expansive domestic surveillance and covert ops net-work in America’s history. The intelligence sectors response to the anti-war and civil rights movements, ran covert assassinations programs as well. The Nixon administration rose on a foundation of political murder. The C.I.A. had assembled a thick concordia of lethal methods. The project began with an anonymous , undated memo on assassination by "natural cause." Knock off key people the heavily censored document specified, " how to knock off key guys, natural causes, a declassified memo.. 1 Bodies left with no hope if the cause of death being determined by the most complete autopsy and chemical examinations, 2 Bodies left in such circumstances as to simulate accidental death 3 Bodies left in such circumstances as to simulate accidental suicide 4 Bodies left with residue that simulate those caused by natural diseases.
April 2, 1977 Washington Post reported that the agency had experimented in exotic poisons.
CHAPTER 1
In 1967 a subversive form of music melded with politics in San Francisco. Thus, destabilization tactics were summarized in a leaked memo, excerpt: "show them as depraved” call attention to their habits, and every possible embarrassment. Send articles to the newspaper showing their depravity. Use misinformation to confuse and corrupt. Provoke target groups into rivalries that might result in death."
For the first time since it's creation the warfare state erected by the Dulles brothers, Hoover, MacArthur, Kissinger, Nixon, etc. was threatened by an increasingly militant segment of society. The FBI rose to the challenge. On July 30, 1994, Intelligence files on Leonard Bernstein reveal the bureau spent countless hours examining his links with associations deemed communist to subversive. FBI agent Jane Moore said the FBI saw the strength and power of the idea of socialism, realized it represented a very real danger to our profit-motivated corporate state and had declared total covert war against not only the denim clad revolutionaries but all progressive forces The bureaus tactic was to cut them down or burn them out before they realized their potential. At the federal level, the CIA. was already pursuing similar objectives under code name Operation Chaos. Targets of Chaos Blank Panther Movement (Geronimo Pratt, jailed for 27 yrs. for murders he did not commit. He was also a target of COINTELPRO, the FBI "counter-surveillance program) Politically active hippies were also targets. Many underground papers were put out of business when they were abandoned by advertisers who had been pressured by the FBI. From 1967 to 1972 the operation compiled 13,000 files, which concerned 300,000 individuals and organizations. The CIA directorate of operations created an index of 7 million names.
CHAPTER 2
THE MACHINE CIA AND MOB INFLUENCES ON THE ROCK INDUSTRY....
The mafia was to be enlisted for the covert war against the counter-culture. In the mid-60's CHAOS officials and the mob both eyed the rise of political rock music. The CIA saw them as long haired communists screaming for revolution and the end to the Vietnam War. The mafia wanted more constrictive financial control over the recording industry. Top 40, the reigning broadcast format in America owes its very existence to the CIA and mafia combo. Drugs would enter the equation, plus youth and LSD with the politics of heroin and LSD drugs were only one contribution the agency has made to the American culture.
The National Security Council was patterned after Hitler’s security council , and its jurisdiction was to oversee the CIA by dictate of the NSA of 1947.
CHAPTER 3 PARAPOLITICAL STARS IN THE DOPE SHOW
Books were burned, book stores closed down, offices and social centers were broken into, artists, writers, musicians and countless hippies got dragged into court., to answer trumped up charges of corruption, obscenity, drug-abuse, and anything that might silence their voices. LSD appeared on the streets, as if on cue to destroy student descent. More potent drugs used in federally sponsored behavior modification studies (translates mind-control) also found their way to society at large. STP created by Dow-Chemical Co. in 1964 was considered incapacitating agent by the CIA Emergency wards was choked in San Francisco with freaking bohemians. PCP an animal tranquilizer, also fed to the hippies by the CIA. The Mob opened mass production labs and a meticulously organized network of traffickers to move black market drugs..
A CIA agent who claims to have infiltrated the covert LSD network, provided a clue when he referred to Height-Asbury as a human guinea pig farm. A dozen years earlier in the same city , George Hunter White and his CIA colleagues had set up a "safe house" and began testing hallucinogenic drugs on unwitting citizens. Now suddenly there was a neighborhood packed with young people who were ready and willing to gobble experimental chemicals. Charles Manson and Timothy Leary arrived in San Francisco and each had a keen interest in mind-control.
Dulles mentioned in his memo that the agency was testing drugs on groups of people. CIA personnel mingled with the drug dealers.. Monitoring stations were set up, among them was Louis J West, Jack Ruby’s shrink, West oversaw Dr Jose Delgado, author of Physical Control of the Mind and Ross Addey, a veteran of operation Paperclip (Nazi's entry into CIA and NASA and else where), Dr. Margaret Singer of the CIA created False Memory Syndrome. All participated in the study of LSD as a politically destabilizing weapon. One CIA memo named the drug as a potential new agent for unconscious warfare. In 1967 as CHAOS was launched by CIA White House. Timothy Leary, tossed out of the army for erratic behavior, left experimenting with LSD on prisoners in N.Y. for the CIA, and donned the robes of the designated LSD media prelate. He later admitted to knowing at the time that some powerful people in Washington have sponsored this drug research. Leary was constantly surrounded by ops of intelligent agents.
CHAPTER 4 The death of Cass Elliot (of the Mamas and the Papas)and other restless youth
According to Mae Brussell, researcher, in 1968 orders went out to proceed to neutralize segments of society. including those restless youth. By 1969 the SSS (Special Services Section of the FBI), combined with the Justice department and with the CIA operation Chaos.
Thus. Manson Murders, etc. Manson joined the Process church, a Satanist church , who also worshipped Lucifer and Jehovah. It was (is) big in Hollywood at the time. (Manson clearly a mind-controlled dupe).
One FBI report on Cass Elliot marked urgent states she attended a fund raiser in Hollywood , for Peace and Justice. Cass had political ambitions and wanted to be a senator, maybe, in 20 yrs or so. An underground paper called The Realist suggested Cass was the target of political foul play. The editor Paul Krassner said, "I believe she might have been killed. She knew a lot about the incredible criminal links between Hollywood and Washington and Las Vegas.
CHAPTER 5 THE MURDER IN THE HOUSE OF POOH BRIAN JONES OF THE ROLLING STONES.
The fusion of music and politics made the stones an enemy of the state. There were infiltrators and drug set-ups and busts thus, Jagger said " This is a protest against the system, war stems from power-mad politicians and patriots, we must end all these mindless men from seats of power, and replace them with real people, people of compassion.” The stones were stalked harassed and getting paranoid.
An odd construction crew came to restore the house of Brian Jones, the former cottage of AA Milne, author of Pooh books. They muscled their way into his private life, and had a weird hold over Brian. One worker, Thorogood, made a death bed confession, that he had drowned Wilson The tell-tale signs of cover-up by authorities are unmistakable. He was off drugs at the time. his death was not caused by a life of abuse as was claimed, he was murdered.
CHAPTER 6 THE END OF ROCK FESTIVALS
Five Months later, a music festival happened near San Francisco, and became murderous. The band would be forever tainted by the surreal violence..
Editor of Rolling Stone, Jan Wenner, put the Rolling Stones Band in touch with Melvin Belli, attorney of California well-heeled conservative base, whose eulogy at his funeral was, "a man of law against the CHAOS of life, a man of CHAOS against the law of life." He was one of CIA's most trusted court room wonders. Belli chose the Altamount for the Stones concert. It had all the charm of a grave yard, and not fit to draw 300,000 people.! Ralph Sonny Barger of the Hells Angels was hired to keep the peace, (an informant hit-man, who was hired by feds to kill labor activist Cesar Chavez, but was arrested instead on an old charge.) Hells Angels are represented in 18 countries now, largest crime family export. Who in 1969 suspected the Hells Angels was a death squad in employ of the political agencies? (a refreshing break from the status quo?)
At the Stone’s concert the Hells Angels beat up on the youth to excited to see Jagger and Leary arrive, an 18 year old girl was stabbed to death for allegedly having a gun, by the Hells Angels. There ended up 3 dead and many wounded..
A CANCER WAS PLANTED AND GROWING IN THE COUNTER-CULTURE
CHAPTER 7 JIMI HENDRIX POLITICAL HARASSMENT AND MURDER.
He didn't die from a drug overdose, he was not an out of control dope fiend. He was not a junkie.
FBI COUNTELPRO was out to do more than prevent a communist menace, from overtaking the U.S.! (or to control black power movement). It was out to obliterate its opposition and ruin the representatives of the people involved in the anti-war movement, Civil Rights Movement, and the rock revolution.
Hendrix manager, Mike Jeffery, by his own admission was an intelligence agent. He frequently boasted he had powerful underworld connections. There were many mafia managed "acts". The CIA/Mafia connection had exercised considerable influence in the music industry for decades. Hendrix wanted out of the contract. He felt he was under surveillance and felt more and more unsafe in New York, his former safe haven. His manager, thus, might have created a Toronto arrest, to silence Jimi. He preferred him to be isolated. He had always been a trusting and open person before, and now he didn't know who to trust.
He was getting 10 grand for a 50 grand concert. Hendrix friends said Jeffrey’s would get more money from a dead Hendrix than a living one. There was also a possible million dollar insurance policy in Jeffrey’s name.
Was Hendrix murdered? The official cause of death was asphyxiation caused by vomit? The pathologist report left the cause of death open. Monica Danneman (investigator), had long insisted Hendrix was murdered. At the time of her own death, she had brought media attention to the case in a letter and highly publicized court battle. Monica's body was found in a fume-filled car near her home, in south England. It was called a suicide.
She had a lot of death threats, and people who knew her said "she didn't believe in the concept of suicide"
CHAPTER 8 Death of Jim Morrison, lead singer of the doors.
Two years after the death of Brian Jones, Jim Morrison's body was found in a bath-tub in his flat in Paris. Death was attributed to natural causes, possibly heart failure. Morrison’s political outbursts attracted the FBI. He had said, " I like the idea about the breaking away or over-throw of the established order." In another interview Manzerek (of the Doors) considered possible motives for the elimination of the Anarchistic Lizard King " they were going to stop all rock and roll by stopping the Doors. He was considered the most dangerous because he was saying . “We want the world and we want it NOW.”
FBI harassment rendered Morrison so anxiety ridden that he had an ulcer by mid-twenties. Paranoia struck deep and it was thought he was a marked man. Bob Seymore wrote a book re: Jim called The End and conceded" you could say the CIA and the other intelligence agencies may have had a hand in the deaths of Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison etc., simply because they were the leaders of the generation of the 60's.
A book " The Bank of America in Louisiana" appeared in 1975, after his death, supposedly written by Morrison. Some say he survived Paris and lived a life free from celebrity and the FBI. A James Douglas Morrison, claimed to be operating as an intelligence agent for a number of groups including the CIA and Interpol, and also had connections with various occult groups. This JM2 also claims to be the dead rock star. There are stacks of official looking document, and letters between the agencies, CNN, NBC, and JM2. This claim was made by researcher Thomas Lyttle who claims to have seen what looks like authentic documents. There seems to be hundreds if not thousands of miscellaneous files under the name. No autopsy was performed after his death, a probable violation of French law. Pamela Courson, who was with him at the time, died later of an overdose that some said was a "Hot Shot" or poisoned opiate.
CHAPTER 9 JOAN BAEZ PHIL OCHS
Joan Baez survived the chaos backlash, she fully understood that political assassination could be her reward for openly castigating military-industrial masters of war. Her close friend Martin Luther King Jr., the worlds most honored civil rights leader told her and a group of activists before delivering his famed speech how the police had dumped him in the hole and it was black and he couldn’t see. They shoved food in the room but he wouldn’t eat it for fear it was poisoned starving and afraid he got on his knees and prayed and when he got up he said it didn’t matter anymore.
Kings entourage hid their pain when they knew what he meant. We knew he was going to die, and he was ready to die, and he was ready to make a commitment to Vietnam etc. He said, “I have been to the mountaintop and I have seen the Promised Land and it doesn’t matter anymore.”
Joan Baez wrote a memoir, And a Voice to Sing With, (1987) of her childhood and her father as a bright young Stanford scientist "Albert Baez recognized the danger of the unleashed atom even in the early days" He took a job at Cornell University in Ithica, New York (Cornell is the base of CIA Mind Control experiments and Joan is a survivor of ritual abuse and mind control experimentation, according to letters she has written to researchers and other survivors), a common cover for trauma-based-mind-control programming. She has a song about it
”I am paying for protection, Smoking out the truth...chasing recollections...nailing down the roof”
Baez entertained no illusions about the CIA, and promoted State of Siege, film she saw as exposing the corrupt element of AID (Agency for International Development, overseas), which funded the teaching of techniques of torture tactics in Latin America. We solicited signatures against the use of torture. Torture was made more prevalent than it had been since the Middle Ages, thus the danger was its common use as government policy. The hands of the US government were far from clean.
Joan did years of intensive therapy to confront her inner demons ,fears, insomnia, panic attacks, phobias, anxieties, etc. Therapists kept Joan glued together, to get me to the next gig, she said.
Joan’s father was invited to become the head of Operations at Cornell, which would bring him in contact with CIA Human Ecology Foundation, (re: Academic Mind Control Studies) behind the fences of the Ivy League campuses across the country. Joan said it was classified. She was not buried by Chaos, but she lived under its intolerant eye and it could silence her. An example is a mistranslation in Japanese re her comments on Vietnam and Nagasaki. The interpreter was threatened and complied. A year later sale of her records were banned from all Army PXs and when she denounced the draft on the Smother‘s Brothers Hour, she was censored by CBS, her comments cut, and CBS cancelled the Brothers soon after. The same year her then David Harris was sentenced to three years for draft evasion.
Civil rights activists were falsely linked to Communist organizations. A common smear tactic.
JOAN BAEZ AND BOB DYLAN MIMI FARINA AND RICHARD FARINA
In 1961 Joan Baez met Bob Dylan. Whose songs had such stark political flavor. Bob nearly died in 1966 after a motorcycle accident. Joan's brother-in-law Richard Farina did die a few months later in a motorcycle accident. It was suspicious and happened on his wife Mimi Farina birthday. He was on his way back from a promotional party for his book "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up". Before his death he had been producing an album to be performed by Joan, but it got shelved.
Mimi Farina, sister of Joan, is an equally talented and politically active woman who sings in prisons and goes out hands on to the poor, last I heard, and I believe Joan’s heart is also with the poor folk (My Note)
After Dylan’s accident he went thru a political change . He dropped the broadside lyrics grating on the nerves of the establishment. Mark Edmundson wrote: He wasn't ruined by drugs. His work combines art and politics and the harshest truth about the world. He is a visionary skeptic ,he loves the promise of America and yet is disgusted by much of its reality.
His songs tell about the cane murder of black servant Hattie Carroll, the death of boxer Davie Moore, the unbroken chains of injustice. They go to the heart of the decades most recurring preoccupation ,that in a time of irreversible technical progress , moral civilization has pathetically faltered, that no matter how much international attention is focused on the macro-cosmic affairs, the plight of the individual must be considered.
Five years after the accident he wrote "George Jackson", a fiercely driven ballad about the Black Panther leader " "George Jackson" who was consiciously murdered by a prison guard.
PHIL OCHS ( THE OUT LAW AND HIS BRAIN) MIND CONTRO AND MPD
"U.S. agents were able to destroy any persons reputation by inducing hysteria or excessive emotional responses, temporary or permanent insanity, suggest or encourage suicide , erase memory , invent double or triple personalities, inside ones mind." ---quote by the late Mae Brussells Operation Chaos investigator etc.
Ochs was a close chum of Bob Dylan , and thought Bob was the greatest poet ever. Ochs ,Bob, and Farina set out on the Folk minstrels path in the village in the early 1960's. Together with others they dragged folk music away from the migration camps and union halls into direct confrontation with the Eisenhower’s looming military-industrial complex. Ochs denounced the American politics in the "Cops of the world". song
" and when we've butchered your sons boys, have a stick of gum boys, we own half the world...."OH CAN YOU SEE"? AND THE NAME OF OUR PROFITS IS DEMOCRACY.
He was the ultimate dissident song quote" the comic and the beauty queen are dancing on the stage .The raw recruits are lining up like coffins in a cage." "Oh we are fighting in a war we lost before the war began"
Not long before he died, one night after too many drinks, he drew down the CIA Director Wm. Colby, director of the murderous Phoenix Project in Vietnam. He claimed he put a contract out on his life for 100,000 dollars. "I told Colby he's got a half of year to live or get out of Vietnam or he is dead. They can kill me but he is dead" he said.( He as well was certain that Gloria Steinem, editor of Ms. magazine and famous feminist is a CIA agent) Ochs was founder of the Yippee party, sang with protesters, and appeared as a witness for the trail of the Chicago Seven. His lyrics were considered so inflammatory that he was banned from the air-waves. The FBI did not refrain form amassing a huge file on him, and the feeling that he was never alone unnerved him. He wrote " take everything I own, take the tap from my phone, and leave my life alone, My life alone! He was tarred as a communist and a threat to national security. His friends said Ochs was convinced he would be assassinated. He was driven to drink by the radio black-listing his music and the ongoing surveillance and harassments and his nerve gave out. He lived in a perpetual state of paranoia His vocal cords were crushed by thugs.
He developed a right wing pseudo personality called John Train who he wrote about ( Beth’s note: Who created John Train? Was he like his good friend Joan Baez, a mind-controlled MPD(DID), from abuse and experimentation? On the first day of summer ,1975," Phil Ochs "was murdered in the Chelsea Hotel by John Train, Ochs said in a taped interview. "for the good of societies public and "secret," he needed to be gotten rid of." He also made reference to his Pseudo personality in song fragments in an album never recorded re: "Phil Ochs checked into the Chelse a Hotel, there was blood on his clothes, Train Train Train, the outlaw and his brain. (my note: I have read accounts of cloning since the 50's. Lots of hi-tech knowledge kept secret, including in Jim Keith’s book "Secret and Suppressed").
Ochs actually now believed he was working for the CIA., writes biographer Marc Elliot.( Ochs also referred to N.Y. Cornell Hospital in mysterious lists) "Train hinted that if Ochs had been a commercial success "they"(CIA) would have killed his host personality.. " Colby and Co. would have been more than happy to put a slug thru his head at that point, "said Train, the alternate personality. Ochs committed suicide on April 9, 1976, by hanging. This was the same year of the book " the Control of Candy Jones" by Donald Bain., ( a study of CIA mind control experimentation, Candy was also an MPD, created personalities, who carried out covert assignments , a marionette with an inner Nazi personality. She worked without her knowledge as a CIA op. for 12 years. Her final post-hypnotic command was suicide, which was intervened by her husband, talk show host John Nebel. ( the book is out of print, I have a copy) It is very probable that "John Train" was programmed to kill Philip Ochs the host personality.
Another musician with repressed memory of child-hood trauma was Peter Townsend ("Who" guitarist). In 1999 it occurred to him that certain phrases from rock opera "TOMMY" were not fiction but his life. He filled in the blanks from his childhood amnesia.
CHAPTER 10 WHO KILLED THE KENNEDYS AND SAL MINEO (REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE)
Actor Sal Mineo was stabbed to death in a parking lot after signing on to play Sirhan Sirhan in an upcoming movie regarding JFK. (CIA assassination and post-hypnotic programming were the major themes of the movie.) Elliot Mintz talk show host for ABC, later Bob Dylan and the Lennon’s publicist was buried in research with Mineo, regarding JFK killing. They became convinced Sirhan was innocent. The movie production disagreed and Mineo pulled out of the picture. After he was killed the media revealed in his secret life of bi-sexuality, and the murder was taken as homophobia. Gay Bars were closing in fear, and Hollywood stars took refuge behind locked doors.
Michael Ruppert a former LAPD officer left the department to expose his CIA trained colleagues. He claims "Sirhan was hypno-programmed using hypnosis, drugs and torture by Rev. Jerry Owen and CIA Mind-Control Specialist Wm. Bryan at the stable where he worked months before the shooting. The LAPD concealed evidence implicating the CIA in shooting. The channels of the intelligence world swarmed with crooks and killers.
Conservative Evangelist Billy Graham was Presidents Nixon’s celebrated "spiritual advisor". Then there was LA's gangster corrupt public servant and wealthy gambling czar Mickey Cohen.(who "claimed "to be a friend of Sal Mineo) The former hit-man Cohen contacted the press after Mineos death t o boost that he was his pal. Cohen was also chummy with Nixon, and his entourage. In 1968, Cohen was coined the godfather of the West Coast Mafia gambling ops. When Cohen was close to death he opened up to investigative reporter Chuck Ashman, and he said, "Mickey Cohen told me the tale of his being paid off to fake a conversion and dose of Christianity for Billy Grahams N.Y. crusade. Two of Graham’s staff had passed more than 10,000 dollars to Mickey and his family." We found the dates and the amounts and even the checks" Cashmon said.
Cohen was the first bridge linking the killers of Robert Kennedy and Sal Mineo. He was on friendly terms with Carlos Marcellos, mob boss, who ran with David Ferrie, CIA corrupt ops., who was investigated by Jim Garrison in the connection of killing of JFK. Cohen was also a chum with Jack Ruby. Cohen was also a friend of Melvin Belli, Jack Ruby’s defense attorney. He also controlled the Santa Anita race-track where Sirhan was employed. Mickey Cohen’s circle of friends and his appearance in the limelight after the Mineo killing begs question on Hollywood power brokers. Sirhan and Cohen were close to Desi Arnez, (Producer) of I Love Lucy .Arnez was an anti Castro Cuban exile leader. In 1966 Sirhan wrote in his notebook that he landed a job at the stables Corona Breeding Farm co-owned by Desi Arnez, Buddy Ebsen, Dale Robertson, ultra conservatives, and TV personalities were well acquainted with Sirhan. Sirhan was known as a fervent anti-communist. Attorney, Russell Parsons, Sirhan's attorney, showed no effort to make known that Sirhan was in the wrong position to kill senator Kennedy, he was shot from behind and Sirhan stood in front of Kennedy.
CHAPTER 11 PROJECT WALRUS..JOHN LENNON..
Mark-David Chapman chose to plead not guilty due to following the direction of his voices.. His attorney J. .Marks, punctuated the plea "by reason of insanity". Chapman testified "I can hear their thoughts, I can hear them talking, but not from the outside, from the inside" Not one of the three psychiatrists at the trial explored the possibility of Mind-Control. In 1977 Chapman lost his fundamentalist religion and became a Satanist..
At 19, 1n 1975,Chapman signed onto the YMCA,(international camp counselor program) and was sent to Beirut where he allegedly received instructions in lethal arts at the CIA training camp school of terror. (there was a known "experiment in Mind Control unit" for the army in Lebanon.). In 1980 he surfaced in New York, and mailed a letter to an Italian address. The Dakota (residence of the Lennon’s) was given as a return address. There was a reference to his" mission " in N.Y.. It was returned to New York, the address not found in Italy, where it sat for three years in the dead letter bin, and finally delivered to the Dakota. Yoko Ono glanced at the letter and dropped it in her deranged file. In 1983, head of security, Mahoney, found the letter. This was evidence of premeditated murder and conspiracy. The letter vanished and reappeared slightly altered, the post-date now was 1981. The "mission" statement was missing...
Elliot Mintz, friend of Sal Mineo ,was instrumental in exposing "Project Walrus" as a conspiracy regarding Lennon. He had been Lennon’s chum too and publicist since 1971 Mintz recalls that some of Yoko body guards were at the time New York Police officers.. It is very difficult for a private citizen to legally possess a weapon in New York. The people who can are off duty officers. It is thus, a common celebrity arrangement. There were many files with missing contents at Yoko's apt. after Lennon was killed. Listening devices were planted at the Dakota and once swept clean would reappear. There had been numerous attempts on Yoko's life. One man was arrested at airport who had made a call that he was coming to finish the job and kill Yoko and Sean. There were also calls made to tell her body guards were going to kill her. Sean Lennon said, "I grew up afraid my mother and I were going to be killed".
After John's murder the first promoting of Project Walrus was the ruining of his reputation. John had known he was wire-tapped and was paranoid. After Watergate he filed a lawsuit for wiretap and surveillance and made some progress. Justice Dept. never would admit it actually carried out the wiretap and blamed it on other possibilities. After he got his green card he gave up the litigation. Lennon overcame his fear of federal harassment and gave public statements that were anti-republican.
Killing Lennon was only the first step. All that he signified must be defaced. That was the principle objective of Walrus. His diaries were stolen and returned later with extra entries and some entries altered. Fred Seaman wrote a defamatory book on Lennon. Seaman was to be executive of Lennon’s archives, and much was feigned regarding their bond. He told friends he was going to discredit Ono at all costs. The goal was to drive her to a nervous breakdown and discredit her attempt to set straight the public record. The walrus crew anticipated immense profits. Dead Lennon’s money’s The events at the Dakota began to sound like the Movie "Gaslight"..( in which a husband tries to drive his wife crazy by reality distortion) Yoko began sleeping badly. One of Yoko’s assistants, wracked by stress began packing a gun at all times. He said " you do not know how big this is. The people doing this are too big to fight." To discredit Lennon and Yoko and the Peace movement was a major part of Operation Walrus. (but it didn't and IT WILL NOT)
CHAPTER 12 WHAT CHA GONNA DO?..THE DEATHS OF MARLEY AND TOSH.
Quote: “Vampires do not come out to bite your neck anymore, instead they cause something destructive to happen that will spill blood., and those invisible vampires will get their meal " Peter Tosh.
Peter Tosh , like Marley was a widely influential civil rights agitator, and like other black activists before him he was gunned down. He died in 1987 at age 43. He was upset with the treatment of his people. Tosh went to Trench Town to live with an uncle after the aunt he was living with died. It was there he met the young Bob Marley, and taught him to play guitar. They got together with Bunny Wailer and the trio called themselves the Wailin Wailers. They were drastically underpaid. Record producers are notorious for pocketing money. (dem pirates and dem thieves). Peter Tosh always let his feelings be known. He cared more about principles and morals than popularity and fame. He said "they know I do not support POLITRICKS and games, my duty is to unify the people." He and Marlew had some wrangling and he left the group, and went on his own. Destabalsation tactics were employed, and political violence and sabotage etc. from the CIA with pernicious attempts to wreck the economy of their country.. The new weapon and the new menace was destabilization..
Bob Marley held onto the Wailer name and took on new members. The peoples National Party asked them to play at Smile Jamaica concert. He agreed.
In Nov. a death squad came to Marley’s home and started shooting. They shot bullets into his manager, and one in his wife’s’ Rita's head , as she tried to get their 5 children out of the house. They survived. The last bullet creased Marley’s breast below his heart and drilled deep into his arm. Marley would sing "Ambush in the night, all guns aiming at me." This did not stop them performing at the Smile Jamaica concert.. ("War") "Until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that now hold our brothers, in Angola, in Mozambique, in subhuman bondage, have been toppled utterly destroyed...everywhere is war......
Carl Colby , son of CIA head Wm. Colby, came to the concert and posed as crew and got back stage where he gave a gift to Marley, a pair of boots. Former black Panther Lee Lew-Lee was close to Marley and he thinks Marley’s cancer started with the boots He claims there was a link of copper wire attached to the boots, which hurt his foot when he tried them on and had to be removed..(it might have been treated chemically with a carcinogenic toxin. Marley later broke his toe and found out it was cancerous, it spread. He did not trust main-stream medicine and continued to perform. He knew by 1977 he was dying and compressed a lifetime of music into a few years
Something of a Caribbean CIA POGROM was underway via Kissinger and Co. There was emphasis on psychological Ops. which became arson, banking assassination disruption of the now Manley's democratic socialist rule. Political violence was stoked and arsenal of weapons supplied. This was all mostly financed by Hard Drugs, which disrupted the Rasta movement and marijuana. They wanted it legalized. Their chosen weapon in the Rasta Movement was free expression and they were crucified for it. Tosh was busted and beaten almost to death and it made his music more vengeful.. Secret Police and the CIA tailed him thru it all. Grotesque human rights violations were commonplace. Marley found out he had a brain tumor. He sang " these songs of freedom is all I ever had, emancipate yourself from MENTAL SLAVERY. "He was observed rubbing his forehead and grimacing while performing. One woman explained "Hidden lasers were fixed to spotlights above the stage and burned out his brain" Fellow Rasta’s heard about an alternative doctor in Jamaica, who advised Marley to talk to a Doctor Josef Issels, a holistic immuno therapist in a Bavarian village. He went. The Dr. said "I hear you are one of the most dangerous black men in the world.” Issels medical career did not hold up under scrutiny, during WW2 he had worked hand in hand with Dr. Mengele (angel of death) in research in Poland, at the Auschwitz camp. The Wailers found this out after his death.
Issels told Bob he could cure him and did sadistic procedures that left him in agony. After visits the Wailor’s said "he is killing Bob" He also cut off his dreadlocks. He was in the hands of the doctor who had been the accomplice of Mengele in horrific Medical experiments against what they considered "sub humans". His mother said " he was starving and wasting away , and he would fall into fits of shaking, etc" Marley weighed 82 pounds on the day of his death. May 11, 1980. (HIS MUSIC LIVES ON)
Peter Tosh found the bloodshed and hypocrisy of death squad justice in the Third World unbearable He was obsessed with the hidden evil. By 1987 the year of Tosh murder Jamaica musicians were censored by the prevailing politics. Witnesses and friends insist his murder was a political hit. They were convinced Tosh was killed for his statements on Human Rights, Black liberation and the legalization of Marijuana. Tosh was throwing a small party at home when Mike Robertson, a local radio host answered the door. Leppo Leppan, an old buddy from Trenchtown days stepped in. Behind him were two clean-cut looking strangers, professional hit men, they insisted on talking to Tosh at gunpoint. Shots were fired and three people were dead.
Shortly afterward the N.Y. City apartment of Tosh was entered and burglarized, (such as the aftermath of Hendrix death). Two out of three of the Tosh killers remain at large. One hit man was said to be a policeman, (of course Leppan was convicted.)
Chapter 13 GANG WAR Sons of Chaos.
Rap artist Tupac Shakur was gunned down at a stop-light in Las Vegas in 1996. It will be evident re: the police strategy of disinformation, ignoring of witnesses, and the presence of undercover agents from L.A. and N.Y. at the murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G.
This suggests that both rappers were murdered by hit squads under the sanction of federal officers. Tupac's father said "It was clear to me form day one that the Las Vegas police never had any interest in solving the case of my sons murder..".. It was said “ we dealt extensively with COINTELPRO (FBI) issues. We worked around a lot of political prisoners and the black liberation movement over the years. This shaped Tupac into the person he was. The family operated the "Centre for Black Survival! They had a youth group called "The New African Panthers" and Tupac became the chairperson for it."
The agony of the Rap industry was exacerbated in March 1997 by killing 24 yr. old Brooklyn rap artist Notorious B.I.G. in L.A. This happened after he had attended the annual 'Soul Train' Music awards, by an unidentified gunman. Tupacs father said in a letter (excerpt)"we do know that Brother Biggie was a part of an industry that has been under attack from the highest form of government officials." " They have targeted Tupac, Sister Souljah, and IceT. Ice Cube, just to name a few. This is reportedly due to the content of the lyrics. "IF" this was the case why would devil-worshippers (music-artists) not be hounded out also?????(They openly worship the devil in a so-called God fearing country.) Their lyrics preach mayhem, destruction. Death to parents, and even government; whereas our rapper loved-ones wanted to explain their pain and identify from where they came, with hopes for a better tomorrow; if all things were fair.
We believe that history has demonstrated that the murders of black people (young and old) who can have a profound impact, those who refuse to bow down, have been targeted by government at its highest level.
What we must understand is that our warriors are needed when it has been proven beyond contradiction that the C.I.A. were principal importers of Crack Cocaine and Cocaine into the 'HOOD’, with blatantly racist drug laws, to set into motion tactics of genocide to destroy or lock away our brothers and sisters or the rest of their lives.
Pay attention to the game that is being played on/against us! SEARCH FOR TRUTH! Don't look at who shot them, but why? Don’t be fooled by the media that has never shown real concern for our welfare. DR. MUTULU SHAKUR
Mutulu Shakur's conviction that SECRET POLICE killed his stepson and Notorious B.I.G. proves to be increasingly feasible.
Chapter 14 FALSE GOD SYNDROME
DEATH OF MICHAEL HUTCHENE
.... 1997-----M. Hutchence was found tethered by his neck to a door frame. He too was an activist, who willed the lion share of his fortune to Amnesty International and the Green Party. He was found at the Ritz-Carleton in Sydney Australia. The media concocted scenes of SM but he was found with a broken hand and lacerations and had taken a bad beaten. His friends said he was not depressed and he was against suicide. There were rumors of the "MOB" involved in his investments possibly unknown to him. He died penniless due to investments and trusts and his family had to fight for his money.
He knew Gianni Versace, famous designer who was gunned down, and was also said to be possibly mafia involved, although he denied it angrily (A dead mourning bird was found by the Versace body, a symbol of a hit-man).
Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales, and a month before her own death attended the funeral of Versace. As it happened another friend of Hutchence was Dodi Fayed , someone said to have mob links. Dodi's uncle was arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi of the Iran-Contra Fame.
Dodi and Diana were killed in a car accident four months before Hutchence died.
THE DEEP POLITIICS OF MUSIC
Roger Bunn director of the Music Industry, Human Rights Assoc. (MIHRA), in the U>K> lives in the eye of the corporate music beast. These are excerpts from letters form Bunn:
"Re: M. Hutchene..."so that's it, huh? Death due to hanging? Sort of unusual that...even for the music industry. Those wonderful featured artist really light up the sky every now and then. Maybe we should consider making the poor darlings an endangered species? When they reach their peak it probably means worth more to the conglomerates dead than live. Think about that next time you go out to buy your conglomerate primitive/folk music, or a well-known movie.... you add strength to the cartel Monopoly. The music industry turns over 120 billion dollars a year. In the music industry there is no such thing as Real Competition".

Wise Cracking, Web Slinging Alter Ego Self Spider Man Comics
It does not matter if we are adults or children we all love seeing action comic stories that pit good guys against bad guys with the winner being clearly addressed. One such comic that has world wide appeal is that of the amazing Spider Man comics. These comics feature Peter Parker and his wise cracking, web slinging alter ego self Spider Man.
Spider Man debuted in Marvel Comics during 1962. As he was only a guest appearance in that particular comic it was not considered that Spider Man would become a huge success in his own rights. This successful occurrence caused Marvel Comics to create a separate comic book series for Spider Man.
The various adventures of Spider Man comics began with Stan Lee and Steve Dikto. These are the people who contributed greatly towards Spider Man’s popularity with the many fans. Spider Man has for the most part been shown wearing a blue and red suit. The suit has black web lines crossing over the red sections of his suit.
While this is the main costume of the Spider Man comic hero, there was a time when the storyline changed Spider Man’s entire outfit to a black one. This black suited Spider Man Comic series lasted for about four years from 1984 onwards. At the end of that time the various fans of the Spider Man comics would learn of a new character to the world of Spider Man. This character was an alien Symbiote.
The Black Symbiote, Mary Jane Watson, the Green Goblin and the various other villains and heroes who have made their appearance in the Spider Man comics have all help to keep the fans interest by changing the various battles and situations that Spidey – as he is also called – continuously faces.
In the many different adventures of the Spider Man comics both Spider and Peter Parker are shown as down to earth individuals. This trait allows the various readers to identify to some extent with Spider Man. This is also probably why Spider Man comics are so very popular.
Other than battling evil villains the Spider Man comics also deal with various social issues that are ongoing in our society. The influence these comics have, can’t be underestimated as many of the Spider Man comic fans are children.
In all of these Spider Man comics we are shown how theses social issues affect the various people who are in the storyline. As comics like Spider Man continue to grow in popularity you will get to see the various other ideas that Marvel Comics has in store for our web slinging hero the Amazing Spider Man.

The Greatest Films
Sean is a senior critic for Filmcritic.com. Good help is hard to find. Gorgeous help is even harder to find. Billionaire playboy Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) understands.
Every year as we approach the end of October we begin to see the aisles of our local supermarkets fill up with witches hats, plastic devil’s horns, Frankenstein heads, and much more. Halloween is on the way again. As you may expect our friends across the pond in the USA do all of this on a much bigger scale. Whole superstores are devoted to the event, parties are planned, huge bags of candy are purchased, mobile horror houses and ghost trains appear in the larger towns, multiple horror films are released in the cinema and trailed on television and radio and so much more.
Then on the evening of the 31st we watch as children dress as devils, witches, ghosts and a variety of other gruesome characters and walk around our streets having a great time with license to eat as much sugar as they can fit in their stomachs without being sick.
1 John 3:7-10 (ESV) 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Questions abound: Is it really just good innocent fun? Should Christian parents allow their children to participate? What message and witness does this give out to the world (and to our children especially)?
Well surely the clear implication to the world is that the devil, witchcraft, and evil are nothing at all and just perfectly innocent fun, child’s play, nothing to worry about. Exactly the message the Devil wants people to believe.
Halloween is an obvious easy target, but when we dig deeper we find that this is only scratching the surface and the Devil has many different truth-eroding tactics that are used all year around. Some easy to spot, some disguised, all damaging.
Philippians 4:8 (ESV) Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
My concern is that as Christians we need to strengthen our defences and take our awareness levels up a notch because we are either missing or ignoring many of the attacks the devil makes that slowly but surely chip away at the foundational truths of Christianity1. In recent weeks for example I have increasingly noticed the belittling, scorning, undermining and ridiculing of truth in the subject areas of death, eternity, heaven and hell in particular. I am not referring to the Christopher Hitchins and Richard Dawkins of this world, they play their part openly. I am talking about the continual and subtle bombarding by the devil on key foundational truths that result in leading modern society further away from God, His Word and most importantly the only way of salvation for sinners from death, hell and eternal punishment. What else could be more important to defend?
Let me explain using a few more examples from a wide variety of sources that have jumped to my attention that I believe are indicative of the problem. Let’s begin with television and movies.
Television and Movies (none of which are recommended)
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
As I was flicking through the channels on television recently I noticed a film I remember enjoying as a young teenager - ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent adventure’. This film went hand in hand with ‘Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey’. Both films were about the humorous teenage adventures and antics of Bill and Ted. A couple of things struck me anew in the storyline:
During the plot we find the two main characters confronted with ‘Death’, the traditional character in a black gown holding a scythe. Now obviously neither Bill nor Ted want to die and therefore they challenge Death to a series of games to win back their lives (Twister for example). It turns out that Bill and Ted do unexpectedly well and win their freedom.
On another occasion we find both Bill and Ted in hell. Bill experiences his hell as having to kiss his hairy relative, whereas Ted finds himself in a strict military camp. Within a short period of time both manage to return to their normal lives.
Little Nicky
A few weeks ago I watched a short extract from ‘Little Nicky’, an Adam Sandler comedy about one of the ‘so called’ sons of Satan in hell. Nicky is a shy, relatively kind, underachieving devil who does not quite fit in. He is given a task that involves travelling between earth and hell to try and find his mischievous brother and bring him back ‘home’. In addition part of the plot shows Adolf Hitler being punished in a variety of humorous ways.
Hell Boy
The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds recently held a special exhibition showing some of the costumes, armour and weapons from a film called ‘Hell Boy’. From various websites I understand that in the movie the character ‘Hell Boy’ is summoned to earth through some kind of ceremony or séance and is some kind of anti hero.
What effect does this have?: Of course there are many more examples from TV and cinema (at time of writing a film entitled ‘Drag me to hell’ is being advertised). Subtly the message given is that you can escape from death, hell and judgement, if you are smart or skilled. At best (for want of a better word) hell is portrayed as terrifying in horror films, but by the time the credits roll up the screen all is usually well again. Alternatively hell and the devil are portrayed as comical and either toned down or the at least the concept is ridiculed and only the very worst people would ever go there to be punished.
Humour
Someone recently told me a joke about the apostle Peter at the gates of heaven. It went something like:
John died and arriving at the pearly gates of heaven met the apostle Peter.
Peter: ‘Welcome, to get in I need to ask you just one simple question - Heaven is a place of love and therefore to get in here please spell the word LOVE for me.’
John: ‘Oh okay, L-O-V-E’
Peter: ‘Thank you, well done and welcome to paradise.’
(Just as John was walking through the gate Peter received a telephone call and looked flustered)
Peter: ‘John, excuse me, would you mind watching the gate for me for a few minutes? I need to go and sort out a problem.’
John: ‘Yeah sure, no problem.’
Peter: ‘Thank you. Oh and if anyone comes whilst I am away just ask them the question I asked you.’
(Peter leaves in a hurry)
(About a minute later who should walk up to the gate but John’s wife Hilda)
John: ‘Hello love, what are you doing here?’
Hilda: ‘Well I wouldn’t be here if you had fixed that cooker like I asked you to before you died, now move over and let me in?’
John: ‘Yes of course dear, you just have to answer one question and you will be straight through, Please spell TCHAIKOVSKY.’………………
There is a famous comedy sketch watched by millions of people over the years (it can be found on youtube.com) where we find comedian Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean, Blackadder) as the devil giving a welcome speech to all the people who have been sent to hell after the final judgment.
‘Here we like to keep things informal as well as infernal’
‘Christians, please come and stand over here, I am afraid the Jews were right’
‘Atheists, I bet you feel like a right bunch of nitwits’
‘See you all at the Barbeque later’
What effect does this have?: Humour of this nature implies that judgment is somehow funny, can be laughed off and therefore the reality is belittled. The first example gives us the impression that somehow your eternal destination is still up for negotiation after death. The bible clearly tells us that our eternal destiny is set before we die, there is no way to change it.
Language
Various unhelpful and misleading phrases have embedded themselves in the English language.
‘Go to hell’
‘Not till hell freezes over’
‘It hurts like hell’
‘This food tastes heavenly’
‘I’ll sleep when I’m dead’
‘It feels like I have been waiting for an eternity’
What effect does this have?: The serious reality of death, eternity, heaven and hell are belittled and made a part of common language. Through constant use the words and truths they represent can become ‘water off a ducks back’.
Music
My job recently took me to Nashville, Tennessee where I took the opportunity to visit the Grand Ole Opry, the home of country music. On the bill that night was Charlie Daniels who famously sang ‘The Devil went down to Georgia’. The lyrics of the song tell the story of Johnny who was challenged to a violin playing contest by the devil. If he won he would keep the golden violin, if he lost he would forfeit his soul. Of course he won and then Johnny goes on to taunt the devil by inviting him back anytime for a rematch.
What effect does this have?: The implication of the songs above is again that somehow through your own efforts you can prevail over the devil and hell. In addition it is another occasion where the devil is made to look insignificant (all he is concerned about being the best violin player around).
Celebrity
On 25th June 2009 approximately 155,000 people died and entered their eternal destiny2. Among those was the ‘King of pop’ Michael Jackson. In the hours following his death hundreds of fellow celebrities and hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the world left messages of condolence.
Examples:
‘I hope he finally worked out his purpose in life, before he left it’ – Yusef Islam (formerly Cat Stevens)
‘May you rest in peace sweet Michael’ – Lenny Kravitz
‘I call on people from around the world to pray for him’ – Rev Al Sharpton, civil rights campaigner
‘His star will shine forever’ – Mariah Carey
‘We are out of our joy. He is out of his pain’ – Rev Jesse Jackson
‘He is now the brightest star in the sky’ – TMF music channel
What effect does this have?:
It is important to be clear about two things before we draw general implications:
I am no judge of man. My opinion of people, whether celebrities or not has no bearing on their eternal destiny. God is the only judge. I am therefore not judging or indeed implying anything about Michael Jackson. I hope he came to faith in Christ before he died.
But we also have to be realistic or we too are chipping away at truth. Therefore we must consistently proclaim that God is clear in his Word about the way of salvation only being through his Son Jesus Christ and his atoning death on the cross. If anyone dies without this repentance of sin and faith then their eternal destiny is also very clear.
The reactions above I would suggest are generally typical and imply the following assumptions:
The person is at peace and out of pain – As explained above the bible tells us that this is the case only if they follow God’s prescribed route to salvation, through His son Jesus Christ.
That the person can still be prayed for, as that will somehow help – The bible tells us that death is the gateway to one of two destinies. There is no way to change that after the event.
Poetry I was recently at a funeral and one of the family members read Henry Holland’s famous poem to the congregation.
‘Death is nothing at all’ Henry Scott Holland 1847 -1918
Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you; whatever we were to each other, that, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used, put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we shared together. Let my name ever be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.
What effect does this have?: Let’s be clear here – This is an immensely damaging poem as it gives false comfort and hope to family members and friends IF the deceased was not a Christian. The vicar leading the service also added ‘I didn’t know him but I know he is now at rest.’ False assurance given from a pulpit like this is so sad as it comes from someone who people view as having authority from the church.
In these circumstances everyone at the ceremony, or anyone who reads this in a card is given false hope with no evidence to base it on. In addition death is belittled and played down.
Religion
This is a huge subject to tackle in just a few words.
There are of course a huge variety of religions in the world and this volume and diversity alone is an extremely effective tactic for the devil. How can you possibly know which religion is true? Or worse, many believe that all can be true, and all roads lead to heaven, whichever you want to choose.
Now of course Jesus tells us he is the only way so let’s focus down on ‘Christian’ like religions. An even smarter tactic is to present ‘almost truth’, or slight variations on the truth. That is why we have to be very careful with the term ‘Christian’ because many people do not understand the real meaning.
To many if you live in a ‘Christian’ country or attend a church you are a Christian. That is not necessarily the case. If I stand in a garage it does not make me a car. In the same way if I attend church or even (dare I say it) stand in a pulpit (wearing a dog collar or not) and preach it does not make me a Christian. The bible tells us that a true Christian is someone who has repented of their sin, turned to follow Christ Jesus and depends not on their own merits or strengths for salvation but wholly on the death and resurrection of Jesus as payment for their debt.
In this group of religions many twist the truth (my heart sinks every time I see another kingdom hall being built), and many water down the message so that it loses they key components necessary for salvation. So much of Christianity is geared to tell people what they want to hear. The message can easily become a ‘self help’, or ‘be nice to each other and we’ll all be okay’ message, and many so called churches would now be better categorised as Sunday social clubs.
On holiday recently we were faced with a choice of three promising churches in a row on the Sunday morning. We opted for the ‘Evangelical Lutheran Church’ with the following verse on the board outside:
Ephesians 2 v 8 (NIV)
‘For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast’
I came out of the service that day, angry and unfed. The church was full of people who all thought they heard a word from God, They had actually heard an anti-Christian message that led them away from the true path to salvation.
What effect does this have?: Appearances can be deceptive and misleading. There are so many dangerous, mixed up, muddled messages. These watered down positions make the message of salvation less urgent and make the punishment less scary. If hell and judgment exist at all ‘man’ would like to put a PG-13 rating on it at worst and even then there must be a way out.
CONCLUSION
The pressure to water down the message of Christianity has been there since Jesus began his ministry, and so it continues. ‘There is no hell’, ‘God is love and would not send anybody there even if there was such a place’, ‘Even if there is a hell it is reserved for the Hitler’s and Pol Pot’s of this world’, ‘There is no coming judgement’, ‘There is no urgency’, ‘Death is nothing’. Unfortunately none of these positions can be backed up by Scripture. This is ‘man’ asserting what he would like the truth to be, not man submitting to what an almighty God has revealed to us in His Word.
Very few people nowadays want to be seriously challenged about their beliefs. In fact rather than defend the right to free speech for Christians who try to tell others what the bible really says we find people crying ‘foul’. ‘Who are you to tell me what truth is?’ ‘It is different for me’. Further, challenging peoples beliefs and explaining your own faith is now becoming a breach of human rights3.
The simple fact remains that people are right and people are wrong. People cannot agree to disagree on some issues, it is a factual absurdity that both can be right, one must be.
So what is the Truth from God’s Word4? What do you need to believe and do to be a Christian?
An almighty and eternal God created
The bible tells us that we are all sinners and guilty before a holy sinless God
Jesus Christ is God and came to earth on a rescue mission
Jesus died on a cross as our sacrifice
Jesus rose again from the grave as our saviour to prove all he taught5
Jesus tells us that we can be forgiven if we repent of our sin, trust him for our salvation through his atoning death on the cross for us, and then live for him.
Jesus told us that hell is a real place with real punishment
Jesus stated that he is the only way to salvation, not one of many ways
Jesus says that he is coming again to judge the whole world, every person who ever lived, you and me.
The bible tells us exactly what will happen during the judgement - those who are found to be trusting for their salvation in Christ alone will be saved
The bible says that those who are not will be condemned to hell for eternity.
If heaven is real, if hell is real, if judgement is coming, if there is only one way of escape, if that is only through repentance and trusting in the sacrificial death of Jesus of Nazareth 2,000 years ago then surely that is the most important message.
Let’s not mess around with truth like this. Hell is real, eternity is forever, there is no escape, I don’t want to go there, I don’t want my family or friends or you to go there. Only right now can we be sure that we can still receive the unmerited gift of salvation.
Let’s encourage one another to become more aware and notice the underlying messages in the television and movies that we watch, the books, newspapers and magazines we read, in the music we listen to, and at the events we attend and celebrate (even Christian events!). Let’s not be bystanders when we see truth being eroded. People need to know the truth.

I was recently invited to download and test Brad Callen's new PPC Web Spy Free Edition and I have to say that I was extremely impressed. Brad Callen and his team are the makers of such popular software offerings that include SEO Elite, Keyword Elite as well as Affiliate Elite. I am a huge fan of each of these software titles but in my opinion PPC Web Spy blows them all of them out of the water for two reasons; Number 1, because it is absolutely free. Number 2, because even someone who is not using PPC (pay per click) for their internet marketing can use PPC Web Spy Free Edition to improve ranking and organic search results and still drive tons of traffic to their website. How you ask?
By using PPC Web Spy as a simple keyword research tool of course. First let me tell you a little bit about PPC Web Spy Free Edition. It is a small Mozilla Firefox add-on that allows you to spy on and get any Adword advertisers keywords that they use to drive traffic to their website. Doing this is extremely simple, you just search Google for any keyword or keyword phrase as you normally would, and after installing PPC Web Spy Free Edition you will notice that a green "Keywords" button appears under each Adwords ad. Clicking this button will open a window that displays the keywords that they are bidding on, exactly which keywords are generating the most traffic, as well as the average cost per click (CPC) and the cost per day (CPD) to the Adwords advertiser. What does this mean for you? You will immediately have knowledge of the most profitable keywords for your own campaign by eliminating the useless keywords, saving you days, weeks or even months of trial and error. The chances are that the Adwords advertiser wouldn't be spending money on a specific keyword phrase unless it was profitable. But what about the promise to improve ranking and organic search?
This takes only a few seconds, and I will walk you through a simple example using the PPC Web Spy Free Edition add-on. Open up your internet browser and do a Google search for the phrase, "comic books" and you will discover that there are 23,000,000 search results returned for that keyword phrase. The popular Wiki entry is in the top spot as usual, but there are also a number of Adword advertisers there as well. In my browser I can click on the green "Keywords" button under the first advertiser and see that "comic book" is indeed a phrase that they have bid on, and that they obtain 16 visitors a day at a cost of just under 5 dollars a day for their Adwords ad. However the other important information I have now is that they also get 13 visitors a day by bidding on the search term "spiderman comics" which costs them just under 3 dollars a day. Guess what? Using your internet browser do a Google search for "spiderman comics" and note how many search results are returned this time. That's right, only 61,700 results and a lot easier to compete against than 23,000,000 for almost the exact same number of daily visitors. This is also targeting a very specific niche, because you have a better chance of selling a "spiderman comic" to someone that actually typed that exact phrase into Google. Still not sure what this means to you?
If you want to use a PPC strategy you can get those 13 visitors to your website right away, or with a little on-page optimization, link building and directory submissions using "spiderman comics" as the anchor text to link to your website or even a free webpage, you have a much better chance appearing in the top 10 search results in Google and bringing in a large amount of targeted traffic interested in buying "spiderman comics". Of course this was just an example, but it can be used for absolutely any niche and again the best part is that PPC Web Spy can be downloaded absolutely free. Try it for yourself using your own niche keyword phrases and see what you uncover.

The average price of a comic book ranges from $2.00 to $2.99. However, over time their value can increase tenfold. Comic are becoming more popular as each year passes and people are buying more comics each time they go to a comic book store. The demand for comics is making them a hot commodity, and rare comics are becoming very valuable. Comic enthusiasts are paying top dollar for first edition and rare comics that date back to as late as the 1950’s.
In Dallas, Texas, at the Heritage Auction Galleries, two very rare and valuable comics are going up for auction. The two comics being auctioned off are Batman #1 and Marvel Mystery Comics #9. A man who has been collecting comics since he was a young kid is auctioning them off, and they are expected to bring in up to $500,000 profit for both.
The first issue of Batman comics, Batman #1, came out in the spring of 1940. It became so popular that the Batman series which originally was supposed to be published quarterly, turned into a bi-monthly production in the 1950’s. It then became a monthly series and has stayed that way. Batman, the character, first appeared in another series of comic books called the Detective Comics in issue #27. The Batman series is still being published today and the latest issue is #686.
Marvel Mystery comic books series started production in the 1930’s. Marvel Mystery Comics #9 is about the Human Torch versus the Sub-Mariner. The Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner are two of the most popular comic’s character during the Golden Age of Comic books. The Sub-Mariner was considered to be Marvel comic’s first mutant character because he is a mix of the human species and the Atlanteans. He lives on both land and sea and has superhuman strength. The Human Torch can engulf his entire body on fire and can also fly.
What makes comic books valuable are the characters. During the Golden Age of Comics, these three characters were some of the most popular. The issue number, seen as # on the comic, also raises value of the comic. Batman #1 is so valuable because it’s his first appearance in his own series. The Batman character had been introduced in different series and gained popularity among readers, which is why his series was created. Marvel Mystery Comics #9 is valuable because something important happened. It was the dual between two well known comic characters. There are different factors that make a comic book valuable, and these two comic books have it.

Are Independent comic books more rare then some of the major comics?
Indepedent comic books almost always had lower press runs than books from "Dependent" comic book publishers, so there aren't as many copies of each issue of each small circulation comic book floating around, but don't make the mistake of thinking that the fact that some book only had a press run of 200 issues makes copies of that book automatically valuable. Comic book collecting is driven by only one factor, supply and demand. If there is no demand for a particular obscure independent title, it really doesn't matter if copies of the unwanted title are plentiful or scarce, they would still be essentially worthless.
Independent comic books were never a good investment, and they aren't a good investment now.

Personally I think both endings are fine and the movie was resonably finished. "Why aren t you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry. This trip, I have been reading passionately on the subject, and it has made a huge difference. cause i believe the you know what would hit the fan if it were not for us, i am not saying we are perfect and haven t made our mistakes but there is no country that has sacrificed more blood and treasure in the cause of freedom and democracy and the history books back me up, judge us by the whole picture not just disagreements over Iraq or Guantanamo, i am sick and tired of hearing people blame all their problems on us. Which one of the following words best describes the term gradient? Students will never be treated like kids, no matter how small. That 1 time is the only time i saw her in my dream. my daughter was at a 16th recently nd her cousin told me it was great and everyone enjoyed it. but, I still feel like an elephant is standing on my heart.

Also, I ve been told that co-sleeping leads to more independent children, which I tend to believe because after we get up in the morning, I can put her in her swing and leave her there for a good hour and shes happy. So any stories, tips, anything POSITIVE please! The Russian my child does know is from visiting my in-laws and from bilingual video. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. however, all the shcolars and critcs have focused only on his novels and peoms, and very few critcs have discussed his talent as a playwright why? He was so sleepy so he fell asleep and when he woke up, his piece of shit friend told him that this girl was kissing him and stuck her boob in his mouth. i forgot my book at school and i need help. its my daughters 15th on a month and i know shes having a sleepover but i was thinking of booking an adults bouncing castle with 4 sumo suits and stuff i dont want people to think shes weird even though im the one booking it most people her age go cinema but this is diferent ha, she enjoyed the other party. because he "promised" his faggot friend (the same one who watched him be kissed by that whore) he d go to his house and play music.

We'll never get rid of "The world is going to end in 2012" "The world will end in an Ice age" "The world will end in an earthquake" Are you that curious to know? do you leave the theatre with lots of questions on your mind that you find yourself putting to friends or family who have read the books?

One of the joys of a new year is being able to look back and give an opinion as to what was hot during the previous year, and what was not.
Of course, it’s all pretty subjective and what for one person might be an epic, for another it might be a good case of yawns-ville.
For many people the best film has to be WALL-E; well, at least for the kids out there and their long suffering parents. Coming from the Pixar camp you expect nothing less than superb animation, great characters and a brilliant plot. And it delivers, in bucket loads.
Next for consideration is The Dark Night which might, just might, have for once done justice to this comic book franchise. So many Batman films have overdosed on special effects, but forgotten the inner traumas of the main characters, apart from Jack Nicholson of course. And that’s ironic, given that Heath Ledger stole a large part of the film with his portrayal of The Joker. Will he get a posthumous Oscar?
And how about The Spiderwick Chronicles? A hit with many people out there, this was one of the top fantasy family films of the year.
Not a fantasy film and arguably not one for the whole family was the surprising hit In Bruges. The three main guys – Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes – pulled off a treat, without being too clever about themselves. This was selfless good fun and had a rare quality about it. Set to be a classic.
Others up for worthy of note are Wanted (some would say notable for a sultry Angelina Jolie); Iron Man (another comic book super hero with a propensity for ego stroking, this was good fun after all said and done); Forgetting Sarah Marshall (somewhat of an unsurprising comedy, but it’s not meant to be Shakespeare); Definitely, Maybe (one of the best romantic comedies of the year); and, Smart People (which operates on so many levels, it’s a joy to behold).
And now some of the ones that not only didn’t take of for the majority of us, but didn’t even get to the departure lounge.
Leading us out is The Love Guru. Oh dear, is Mike Myers starting to lose it? Best for summer holidays – take the disc out onto the beach and use it as a Frisbee.
Close behind is Speed Racer which, on nearly all levels, just did not work. They say that CDs make great bird scarers: give this one to your Dad to keep the birds off his allotment.
And even closer behind is Meet The Spartans. Oh dreary me. You mean people get paid to produce this kind of rubbish? Not even worth taking down to the allotment. For many people the film The Eye was useful for one thing, it proved that Jessica Alba just can’t act. Oh really?
And in quicker succession come Witless Protection (the title and a scantily clad bird on the front cover gives this one away); Drillbit Taylor (sorry, what did you say?); Prom Night (why does it always happen at the Prom?); Over Her Dead Body (and over yours if you pay money to see this); Fools Gold (exactly); and You Don’t Mess with the Zohan (and yes, you don’t mess with the audience either, if you can help it).
Okay, so that’s it. Some hits and some flops. The hits are notable for their genius of course, whereas the flops are notable for the nerve of the people behind them. On well, where would we be without someone to poke the stick at?
The album feels even more like a collection of singles (instead of an actual movie soundtrack) than Help! or A Hard Day's Night, but maybe that's because every song sounds like it could have been a hit single--with the natural exception of the goofy/weird instrumental "Flying...
