He’s been plastered over the TV and YouTube. The new word for his field praying on 1/17/12—“Tebowing”. In fact, YouTube showed a Couple’s Ultrasound Picture Shows Unborn Baby “Tebowing … . This ultrasound was done on Elizabeth Vigil in Colorado. Her and her husband live in Denver, are ardent Bronco fans, and did a 4D ultrasound hoping to determine the sex. The observed baby’s “prayer stance” looked exactly like Tim Tebow’s, but in the womb.

Tim, as you may recall, survived a recommended abortion due to his mother’s medication for amoebic dysentery. He lived to become one of 5 kids, became the Florida Gators QB, won the Heisman as a sophomore, came in second as a senior, went on to play QB for Denver Broncos, and led them to the playoffs before finally losing to New England in a race to the Super Bowl in 2012.  

With all the surrounding hype on Tebow, one would think he’s totally ‘full’ of himself. The real story shows somebody really special exists. Even at Florida, the scripture [John 3:16] was written under his darkened eyes. In pro games, he publicly prays to God for all the blessings he receives.

He has stated he will not have pre-marital sex. He’s clandestinely charitable, truly pro-life (controversial anti-abortion ad), incredibly humble, gives credit to others for their accomplishments, and inspires others to do the impossible.  He calls reporters “mister”, which is rarely done by a pro-athlete. Unbelievably, he’s never been arrested for sexual assault, drug possession, DUI, manslaughter, aggravated battery—or any other crime to which fellow athletes succumb.

Detractors came out of the woodwork to condemn Tebow for his blurring religion and sports. Even though Tebow’s popularity became exponential, venom from the media elite was worse. They even made fun of the “Tebowing” pose taken in the above ultrasound. All of a sudden [John 15:18] immediately seems highly relevant: “If the world hates you, realize that it hated Me first.”

Tebow has a winning record in started games because he restricts mental errors. He’s over 236 lbs, and sometimes runs the ball. Not as a quarterback, but as a fullback. In his second game this year against the Cincinnati Bengals, he played receiver. After the game, Broncos coach John Fox opined Tebow “actually graded 100 percent” with his performance. But many have stated it’s all done by “divine intervention”.

Gary Bauer, (President/American Values) even explained the “Tebow Derangement Syndrome” as quite like the “Bush Derangement Syndrome”. Most remember how George W. Bush’s Christian faith became offensive to many. Ridiculed for praying before big decisions made him a special target. Calling the Bible “inspiration” showed weakness to many.

It turns out Tebow’s actions actually divide America between his critics, and those that hope their athletic heroes are truly heroes on, and off, the field. The psychology for the critics is simple–their judgment is rooted in self-inferiority. The interpretation is plain and simple: ‘we don’t want anybody to be better than we are, so let’s not deal with how bad we are’. With a secular critic, if everyone’s disreputable, then everybody can be disreputable.

For 2011, Tebow was ranked 7th out of all QBs. But he had the longest touchdown pass (80 yd), threw “0″ interceptions, and averaged 9.62 yds/completion (Matthew Stafford was a distant 2nd at 8.84 yds).  Those numbers alone got peoples’ attention. Daresay, one of those was likely the Vigils’ unborn baby. He’ll live in Denver, as the child of rabid Denver and Tebow parents.

After Tebow beat the Steelers in overtime in a later thriller, columnist Matt Barber (TownHall) explained 3 statistics by Tebow: 1) 316 passing yards in game, 2) averaged 31.6 yd/ pass, and 3) TV viewing audience for last 15 minutes of game was 31.6%. Because of those specific numbers, CNN ran the whole text of [John 3:16] “For God so loved the world that he  his only Son, that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.”

The odds on having the same numbers as that quote from John are too astronomically small to comprehend: 3 different stats, in the same game, with that size audience, accomplished by the same person, in a very tight game, in overtime, beating a ‘goliath’ of a competitor, and using the combined talents of every player, coach, and manager of the Broncos to do it? The immeasurably low chances of that happening are inconceivable.

God obviously could care less about who wins any specific football game, or which team goes on to win the Super Bowl. But He does care about how one leads his whole life, honesty and righteousness in their profession, outside endeavors, and impact on fellow humans. Tebow says that it really doesn’t matter whether he’s the hero, or the goat of a game’s outcome.

He will be thanking God no matter what.

[Ripple effect on water.jpg]

As a single drop in a water, the NAACP has started to usurp Dr. Martin Luther King’s message. Knowing what we know now, the great MLKJr would have nothing at all to do with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In fact, MLKJr could easily say the NCAAP now represents the biggest pitfall for Blacks in achieving equal rights.

It turns out the NAACP is fine with killing/aborting Black babies, especially through Planned Parenthood. What happened to MLKJr’s words “judge people not by the color of their skin, but on the content of their character?”

MLKJr knew if America was to be great, everyone of every race must be able to share in the same opportunities. In legalizing abortion in 1974, the Supreme Court ruled a group of people, specifically children still unborn, were not entitled any legal protection at all. King’s dream became distinguished.

Legalized abortion gives people the ability to decide which kids are worthy of living, and which are not. How can Americans live with themselves, when they do not allow Black babies in the womb the basic right of life listed first in the Declaration?      

America has achieved equality of many things. Actual equality treats all human life the same. This is regardless of race, growth stage, or dependency condition. Nineteen million dead aborted Blacks later, that dream by King has become squelched for millions of Americans. Blacks only make up 12.4% of the total population, but are 30% of America’s abortions.

If MLKJr were alive today, he would be shockingly aghast with these racial injustices occurring every day. Any abortion is abhorrent, but why would there be such a compulsion behind eliminating the young Black community?

The Department of Health (NYC) found Black abortions as a disproportionate number situated in majority-black neighborhoods. Shockingly, this is true at the location of most of the nation’s abortion centers. Black Americans are a prime target of the abortion industry. It’s been determined 60% of NYC’s abortions are done on Blacks. Teens in NYC are aborted at a shocking 72% rate.

In the city of Philadelphia, their Department of Health has witnessed half of all their Black babies being aborted. The list goes on. You never hear about Congress’s investment in a group gleefully accepting donations only for Black baby abortions. Abortion seems concerned with race directly. Journalist Randy Hall knows this is true, when he realized for all of PP’s ‘documented’ clinics, 62.5% “were located in cities having a higher black population than the state.”

King’s words go on deaf ears for those who voted against California’s Prop ‘209’, Nebraska’s Civil Rights Initiative ‘424’, Washington’s (State) ‘200’, or Michigan’s Prop ‘2’. All of these proposed laws outlaw judging skin color for college admission, employment, and giving government contracts. King understood these should never enter the equation. He demanded total equality.

Pro-life activist Alveda King, often repeated her Uncle King was strongly pro-life. His stance on Black genocide by abortion (over 18 million), would have dwarfed the heinous 3,446 Black hangings done by MLKJr’s time.

It’s known MLKJr and the NAACP are at opposite ends of the spectrum concerning PP’s multitude of abortions (black and white). The NAACP already opposes Black advancement on a myriad of issues:  Medicaid and self-sufficiency (Blacks: 12% of population, 30% on Medicaid), lawsuits against charter schools and vouchers (by NAACP in NY this year), giving parents choices with vouchers and/or tax credits, methods for eliminating Black poverty in America, same-sex marriage (nothing to do with civil rights), and pro-life stances (despite 1/2 Black pregnancies being aborted).

In fact, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s daughter Bernice firmly knew he would have been against gay marriage.

In 1958, Roy Wilkins (Executive Director/NAACP) conflicted repeatedly with MLKJr and other leaders over strategic decisions within the Civil Rights movement.

The NAACP has been erroneously skewed with Democrats since MLKJr.  But NAACP has long since parted ways with MLKJr’s principles. Unfortunately King is not still with us to severely reprimand the NAACP for their gross political leanings, and skewed principles for the Black race.

Something must be done fairly quickly, for the Black people must have hope for future survival with the rate of black abortions. The black race deserves better than the NAACP. Blacks’ destiny in life is total equality–all of the time. Together with MLKJr’s ideals they will achieve that. But with NAACP’s failed policies, they are destined for the dustbin of history.  

It turns out MLKJr never joined the NAACP in his lifetime. That’s the difference between great men like MLK, and those that ‘also-ran’. You can still hear the great ones’ voices after they’re gone.

Picture by Felix c at en.wikipedia. Permission by PD-USGOV-MILITARY-NAVY, and is in the public domain of Wikipedia.

One must realize a ‘movement’s’ objective before they protest themselves, join the group, or even support their actions watching them on TV. What is their long term goal? Is yours the same? Are their protestations doing any good?

‘Occupy’ protests, at over 30 cities countrywide, have been on a rampage. But comparisons of Tea Party gatherings, and Occupy protests are imminent. The Tea Party does not like the socialistic tendencies of the Obama regime. The Occupiers screamed “exploitation by capitalism”.  At [workers.org] Workers World Party, you’ll see signs saying, “A job is a right; capitalism doesn’t work”.

When asked why Occupiers were there, most implied ‘tough economic times and employment opportunities’. None of them responded with Obama’s higher unemployment rate, additional onerous regulations, higher taxes, or pushing for a socialist state. That is nothing the Founding Fathers had in mind.                 

Instead, protesters sent the message: “this is our right to protest, assemble, and discuss world economic injustices.” However, the protestors have never protested about the injustices instigated by the present administration.

To make their point, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement began breaking numerous federal laws. Fracturing judicial restraining orders, systematic sabotage, and continuous trespassing by OWS were rampant. Violence was integral in an attempt to shut down ports from California to Alaska. At one site, OWS formed a human chain, blocked a railroad to prevent a grain delivery, and shouted profanities at police. This is a direct violation of the Hobbs Act—using robbery or extortion to impede interstate commerce.

Just in the Port of Longview (Washington), OWS’s “Day of Rage” turned into a three-month ‘hissyfit’. OWS took six guards hostage, broke windows, dumped grain, and cut train brake lines. One has to wonder how many wages and business, was lost by truckers and shippers.

In DC, Jim Dinegar (President/Washington Board of Trade) said the park OWS ravaged now looked like “a toxic waste dump”. In his interview, posted on YouTube, he revealed several major problems.

The Port of Oakland is requesting residents not to support any shutdown, which would steer traffic away from Oakland, and destroy any job production for their port.

Every single OWS protest has cost cities millions in police overtime with hundreds of arrests, rapes, decimated public property, broken ordinances and vagrancy laws, gross permit violations, theft, vandalism, and other criminal activity. One simply needs to view the rap sheet on OWS to view these atrocities. This barbarous behavior was common in all of OWS’s protests.

Then why was the Tea Party, since its inception, held to every minute law for staging any protest? Strange, but unlike OWS, the they had no arrests, rapes, or any of the above criminal acts. The Tea Party had “0” arrests, total. OWS had 700 arrests in one Washington march alone.

Imagine if every ‘Occupier’ voted for a president who would cut taxes for Americans, reduce expenditures and the deficit, eliminate job-killing regulations, allow US available-oil expansion, disallow Black genocide by abortion and get more Americans into the work force, an America the Founding Fathers envisioned would appear. 

Total dollar loss for all those cities because of OWS insurrection is in the billions. Total job loss is in the thousands. With Obama’s planned socialism, things would only get worse. It seems as if it is OWS’s intention is to rid America of the elites that ‘control’ Wall Street.

Hopefully protesters will realize that all Wall Street tycoons are dependent on everyday Americans. On what citizens buy, what they feel is a profitable business, what makes money for them, and what keeps the general operating machine of America running. If a business entity in America is failing, Americans stop buying, the stocks go dry, and Wall Street investors are abandoned. Normal Americans run Wall Street. OWS wants to kill that type of capitalism?

In other words, if Obama is re-elected, we get a government-run socialist state. Our Founding Fathers will not just be turning over in their grave…

We know Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21), has an abortion rate of about 90%. Trisomy 13 &18 are aborted at a much higher frequency because their likelihood of death soon after birth is much higher.

In a 1/12/11 ABC World News exclusive, Diane Sawyer discusses a New Prenatal Test for Down Syndrome Could Cut Baby Deaths From … .  Dr. Rossa Chiu, study author published in the Journal of British Medicine (BMJ), and “>Dr. Brian Skotko, (clinical fellow/genetics) Children’s Hospital Boston, both hail killing babies if Down is known. (1)

Diane Sawyer boasts this new Down test could cut healthy baby deaths. “Cut deaths” is quite a spin. She, and many others, want to terminate (abort) an early pregnancy just because they think the baby will be unhealthy?  The baby’s done nothing wrong. But many parents don’t like the baby’s disability, and probably the child might not live the normal 70 years a human would.  Let’s abort it.

How Nazi-like.

How soon many of us forget how the Nazis were famous for their race-based eugenics programs throughout their history. In “Anti-Papal Catholicism & the Rise of Hitler”, Anne Gardiner describes how many Nazi programs were based on US  forced sterilization already in existence, and eugenics laws practiced in California.

Many Germans conceived of a pagan-oriented movement using “race-based eugenic measures” to remove any “non-Aryan” influences from their population. If the Germans had won WWII, America would be practicing eugenics freely.

But the concept has been raising its ugly head again. It’s amazing how many people still believe killing the suspected inferior human will keep the human race flourishing.

The start—numerous statements of discrimination toward kids with Trisomy 13/18 by doctors. For example, a  letter  about cardiac surgery for a child with Trisomy 18, Dr. Praveen Kumar (Chicago) wrote about the surviving child, “Most people will consider this outcome extremely suboptimal if not completely futile.” (2)

In Canada, a senior ethicist asked a trisomy mother, “So what is better–abortion by dismemberment at 16 weeks or ask the mother to wait and we remove the baby to let it die in its mothers arms….that is not abortion.”  The mother was obviously horrified.  (3)

Genetic counselors in Canada say “almost everyone” terminates when the baby has a condition related to disabilities. The system is geared to identify, and terminate “imperfect” unborn lives.

Amniocentesis, an invasive test usually given at 18-20 weeks, carries a 1% risk of miscarriage. But companies like Sandisk and Sequenom have already been perfecting a 7-week non-invasive test for Down Syndrome. A simple blood test having a 98% accuracy for detecting Down, and a >90% death sentence for the baby.

They are talking major profits in this business of human perfection.

Even in Australia, another mother’s narrative was published in the British Medical Journal. In her case, she chose to carry her baby with Trisomy 18 to term. She had major problems just finding a hospital that would let her deliver the baby.

“Unacceptable morbidity” is typically used by doctors, but is always highly subjective. Some children born with Trisomy 13/18 are severely afflicted and are best treated with comfort care, but others live very happily for many years. Parents just want their their child be treated as an individual, not a genetic defect. (4)

The Nazi euthanasia program evolved from considering some lives unworthy to be lived. The Obama Administration is dangerously close to incorporating the same schemes.

That idea was eugenics, which actually heralds better living through genetic intervention. It is an idea fomented by  abortion and euthanasia.

If the mother decides to abort based upon the child’s imperfections, what road will humanity take?

From here, the future can be seen: what will happen to those depressed? To those with ADHD? To those with a very dark future, laden with poverty, a broken home, or no home? A humanity that chooses to reject children for their imperfections has either lost hope, the ability to accept suffering, or perspective.

If the mother makes the decision to abort based upon the imperfection found in the child, what road is legal abortion enabling humanity to take?

If we, as a nation, re-elect the Obama Administration, we may have turned down a road from which we can never turn back.

“Trike” was a normal degreaser used for various metal parts. Many panicked over the thought of getting cancer from a common degreaser used in thousands of locations. Trichloroethylene (C2HCl3) was used so frequently, that typical names such as Trichlor, Trike, Tri, or Tricky were commonplace.

The big stick was the ominous label CARCINOGEN.  Of course, the documented TLV (Threshold Limit Value) is 200ppmillion. But the ACGIH classified it as cancer “not suspected for humans”.  To date, there has been no change to the exposure limit because the EPA cannot prove TCE exposure to cause cancers.

But 1 mile away, in sight of the writer’s house, lies a Superfund Site in Skyland (Asheville, NC). CTS of Asheville manufactured hearing aids and automotive parts. Before plating, parts were cleaned using TCE. CTS, vacant since the 1990’s, still worries about TCE contamination exacerbating the cancer scare.

The  site was assessed by the EPA in 1985, 2001, and 2006. In each instance, they concluded the site did not warrant qualification as Superfund. Finally, in soils under the building, the EPA found the highest TCE concentration (830ppm).

As a result, in 2008, EPA sampled 72 private wells. Continued samples of these wells revealed no  TCE results. Today, over 105 private wells are being monitored. Seven of those are considered to have TCE. However, the acceptable lower limit for TCE is 5 pp[billion], and is significantly lower than 20 years ago (200pp[million]). But there still has been no cancer.

Back in 1930, Wikipedia reports that for 20 years, TCE was used as an inhaler (tradenames: Trilene & Trimar), and an analgesic for millions. The maximum dose was ~1000ppm. This was extensively used in obstetrics, and especially during pregnancy. Taking these dosages relieved pain, but never resulted in cancer in any of the millions inhaling it. TCE was substituted for earlier anesthetics such as chloroform and ether.

Bioassays by the National Cancer Institute showed kidney cancer in some mice and rats. It was therefore reported TCE was “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen”, based on animals. One review of kidney cancer rated obesity and cigarette smoking as higher risk factors for kidney cancer.

“Reasonably anticipated” doesn’t square with “cancer not found”. To date, ACGIH has carcinogenicity “not suspected for humans”; mutagenic—not available; teratogenic–not available; developmental—not available.

US Superfund Sites (2010). Red: National Priority List, yellow: proposed, green: deleted (usually cleaned up).

The health risks of TCE have been studied to excess.

Here is a classic example of the EPA spending almost $50 million to cleanup the Skyland, NC, Superfund Site–unnecessarily. Multiply that by ~100x for all the TCE Superfund Sites that have been, or will be, cleaned up. Could a transparent case of chemophobia be worth that to allay misguided fears?

Looking at chemicals we see daily can be eye-opening:

Ethanol (grain alcohol) is manufactured, and has an LD50 (50% rats given 7060 mg ethanol/Kg weight–was lethal dosage).

Marijuana (Delta 1-3,4 trans-tetrahydrocannabinol) has an LD50 for rats at 42 mg/Kg.

Caffeine in coffee (3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1-H-purine-2,6-dione), and has an LD50 at 355 mg/Kg.

Horse radish (allylisothiocyanate)has an LD50 at 339. Ibuprofen [2-(4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl)propionic acid]has an LD50 of 1050, and is manufactured.

One must define “goldilocks zone” properly: [Habitable zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ].  That zone is considered the habitable area just far enough away from its sun, where it’s warm enough life can flourish, but not too cold to freeze water.

Astronomer Michael Hart’s computer simulations describe a habitable planet in the “goldilocks zone”. Its orbit must be almost circular, and must make the right sized orbit. Calculations indicate a 5% smaller orbit point to a runaway “greenhouse effect”, or a 1% larger orbit would have resulted in a glacier effect—the freezing of all oceans.  

The solar system must be free of large planets with elliptical orbits, which would eject or destroy other planets. Large planets with circular orbits are needed to clear out rogue asteroids that would strike inner planets much more frequently.

An inhabited planet has to be large enough to hold an atmosphere, while small enough so its gravity doesn’t crush inhabitants. The planet must have a moderate temperature. The planet must have a mass between 0.85 and 1.33 of earth’s mass, or within 2 billion years temperature variations would render the planet uninhabitable. [Extraterrestrials, Where Are They?, Second Edition, Edited by Ben Zuckerman and Michael Hart (Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 1995), p. 217].

More importantly, a habitable planet must have some mechanism to keep CO2 from disappearing from the atmosphere. Liquid water begins a chain reaction depleting the atmosphere of CO2 [Ron Cohen, “Interplanetary Odyssey”, Science News (September 28th, 1996), p. 205].

Parts of earth’s surface continually sink where carbonate decomposes to CO2. It then recycles to the surface from volcanic activity, where it refills the atmosphere. We haven’t observed any other planet with similar tectonic activity.

Most extrasolar planets are too distant to detect their weather. Because exoplanets are invisible to the telescope “eye”, any atmosphere is examined by its infrared light, or heat. Infrared measurements are used to map the temperature of the entire surface.

But an observable exoplanet has got to be a transiting planet—it has to cross directly in front and behind its star when viewed from Earth. As an extrasolar planet passes in front of its star, it blocks out a small fraction of the star’s light, and a host of information about the exoplanet can be learned: size, temperature, orbit, etcetera. Because of their location in the plane of sight relative to their orbited star, billions of exoplanets cannot be detected yet.

Over 300 extrasolar planets have been located and measured by this method, and are called “hot Jupiters” for a reason. Jupiter has many characteristics similar to exoplanets. It is a gas giant, with a crust far beneath the surrounding gas.

The Coriolis Effect cause cyclones and anti-cyclones on Earth. Greatly magnified on Jupiter, these cyclones have a revolution 2.5x faster than Earth’s cyclones. Sheer distance makes cyclones on any exoplanets invisible.

Jupiter has many atmospheric disturbances, with stronger ones absorbing the weaker ones. This may explain the size of the largest spot on Jupiter—the Great Red Spot (GRS). Man has observed this spot for almost 400 years, or as long as the telescope existed. Over two earths would fit within this storm.

The GRS is anti-cyclonic in Jupiter’s southern hemisphere, and high pressure. It seems to be about 5 miles higher than other cloud tops. A hurricane on earth rotates clockwise, being low pressure. GRS however, has been shrinking at 230 miles/yr. But at half the size of the GRS, Jupiter also has the “Oval BA”, which appeared in 2000. This was the result of three smaller spots merging. Scientists determined the Oval BA has winds up to 384 miles per hour.

Jupiter’s Three Red Spots (5/23/08)

CreditNASA, ESA, M. Wong, I. de Pater (UC Berkeley), et al.

All three spots are in this image made on 5/9/98 (Hubble Space Telescope). Jupiter’s spots are probably indicative of large scale climate change. It is getting warmer near the equator. The GRS is also warmer. “Warm”, in this case, translates to      -250 oF. Surrounding temperatures are colder at -256 oF. Even that difference generates questions concerning global warming. Changes in Jupiter’s weather give rise to debate over perceived climate change on earth. 

In 1998, scientists decided to launch an atmospheric probe into Jupiter . It finally crumpled in 23x higher pressure than earth’s.

On Earth, anticyclones usually indicate fair weather. Jupiter’s anticyclones are also high pressure centers, while cyclones are low pressure. Jupiter is shrinking in size due to gravity. Actually a heat source, it radiates 1.6x more energy than it receives from the Sun.

Juno launched from Cape Canaveral on 8/5/2011, to begin its five-year journey to Jupiter. In 2016, many questions will be answered from Juno’s Jupiter encounter.

Is climate change a normal result of CO2 activity on Jupiter? Obviously not because of CO2, with essentially “zero” content. Runaway “greenhouse effects” can occur with a 5% smaller orbit in a “goldilocks zone”, but it’s never due to CO2. It’s always due to orbiting distance.

One almost has to be an exo-atmospheric-meteorologist to understand planetary weather. Likely, the science may have changed in the past few years.

The Congressional Budget Office figures emerged Friday, and offered a far more dire outlook for Obama’s budget than the  administration predicted last month. The Projected deficit threatens Obama’s plans – politics – White House …, and is accurate even for a liberal Associated Press.

Auditors say this budget would produce $9.3 trillion in red ink over next decade. However, Budget Director Peter Orszag decided to spin the Congressional Budget Office’s economic projections: “they are probably more pessimistic than those of the President”. However, Orszag acknowledged, “…if the CBO projections are correct, Obama’s budget would produce unsustainable deficits.”

It’s almost impossible eliminating a $9.3 trillion dollar debt in ten decades. But Obama is not worried about total debt.

In his mind a debt will not be a problem if Socialism is there to save the day. The World Book Dictionary defines socialism as “…a system of social organization by which the major means of production and distribution, are owned, managed, or controlled by the government”. In other words, a total rejection of the US Constitution.

When the debt hits $9.3 trillion, each person in America will need to pay $31,000 just to eliminate the debt. Certainly, government can’t pay it. Obama won’t touch certain items for deficit reduction:  e.g., a) United Nations, b) 15 major US Departments (e.g., DoJ/27.2 billion/yr), c) anything providing abortions. 

Recent actions show exactly where Obama wants to go:

Obama is telling his audience that he will bypass Congress to enact as much of his agenda as possible through executive orders. He wants to implement policies through his (appointed) czars, and mandates issued by federal agencies. These strategies supposedly can get around any checks and balances established by the Constitution. Obama has already exclaimed publically: “We can’t wait for Congress to do its job, so where they won’t act, I will.”

President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have committed unlimited amounts of taxpayer money to defend the unconstitutional Obamacare.  Now Dr. Donald Berwick (England’s National Health Service, appointed to run Obamacare), says rationing is inevitable. Obamacare is an unprecedented expansion of federal power and regulation.

Young people, and first-time voters were key to Obama’s victory in 2008. Stating “we can’t wait,” Obama announced executive plans for helping graduates with student loans. Current Unpaid student loans top $1 trillion. That debt will surely double with the relaxed restrictions. It seems obvious: News: Obama wants student loan payments lowered to shore up voting bloc .

Liberty Counsel shows many special interest groups (i.e., ACLU, Planned Parenthood (PP), GlSEN (Gay-Lesbian-Straight Education Network) etc., seem to continually get handed public funds. Planned Parenthood just hired Dana Singiser as VP for Government Relations. She had worked previously as a special assistant to the President in the White House.

Department of Energy’s (DoE) $535 million loan to bankrupt Solyndra. Another “green” company, First Solar received two loan guarantees just before the loans expired. Shortly thereafter, DoE sent an additional $4.7 billion in “green energy” loans to four other companies, and over $10 billion to 16 others.

Include a $529 million DoE grant to Fisker Automotive to build hybrid cars. But the cars are being assembled in Finland. In Massachusetts, Beacon Power received $67 million in assistance from the DoE, but has filed for bankruptcy protection.

Socialism forgets four things. 1) You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity. 2)  What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. 3) The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. And, 4) You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

                                                                                                               
The real questions are why Obama is spending huge amounts of taxpayer money, with little hope of receiving any back. It seems we’ve been on the road to Socialism for a few years now. Can anyone say “World Bank”?

First, Komen is a huge contributor to Planned Parenthood (PP). In the last 5 years they have given over $3 million to PP.

As anyone in a corporation knows, all money donated goes directly to the company’s output. For PP, that output is abortions and contraceptives. Both kill a young life. Even if that money does not go to abortions directly, it frees up other PP monies for their abortions.

Second, Komen supports Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR). The Catholic Church has only 5 “non-negotiables”. Those are evil acts of which there are no mitigating factors. They are highly serious all of the time. One is ESCR. Another is abortion. They both take a life every time, and Komen Sends Millions to Embryonic Stem Cell Research Centers .

Third, there is strong evidence for at least a 40% increased risk for breast cancer from abortion, but Komen won’t admit it. Abortion and the birth control pill, sold by PP, are both risk factors for breast cancer. It is disheartening to see an organization allegedly searching for a breast cancer cure, supporting two sources linked directly to the disease.

With the Abortion-breast cancer link still being ignored , PP is making money from abortions as they skyrocket, and other services dwindle. It’s not good for business to tell women the truth about the abortion-breast cancer link.

     o   In 1986, scientists wrote a letter to the British journal Lancet, and acknowledged that abortion is a cause of breast cancer: “Induced abortion before first term pregnancy increases the risk of breast cancer.”  (Lancet, 2/22/86, p. 436).   

     o   The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, issued a statement in 2003 telling doctors to inform patients about a “highly plausible” relationship between abortion and breast cancer.

     o   Even in 2006, eight medical organizations recognized that abortion raises a woman’s risk for breast cancer, independently of the risk of delaying the birth of a first child.

     o  The Mayo Clinic shows oral contraceptives increase breast cancer risk 44% (Gundren Schultz; 10/25/06).

     o  In the 2003 NCI Workshop on Breast Cancer Risk, the study author Louise Brinton concluded that there was no association between breast cancer and induced abortion. But In 2009, Brinton admitted, there was a 40% statistically significant increase of breast cancer with induced abortion.

Does your cancer fundraising group tell women that the female breast does not fully mature from cancer vulnerable lobules, into cancer resistant lobules until a woman has a full term pregnancy? If not, they likely have no understanding as to why abortion and breast cancer seem to mix.

Per the Guttmacher Institute and Planned Parenthood, PP did over 25 percent of all abortions in 2008, a total of 324,008. In 2008, they performed zero mammograms.

Fourth, Komen has not been truthful with saying women can get breast health services including mammograms at PP. Many surveys have been conducted, and show no PP affiliates have the machines to do mammograms. Almost everything PP does revolves around abortion and contraception—the killing of human life.

The Catholic Health Association, and a so-called Catholic who supports Komen, offer a course on semantics to justify that support. Unfortunately, they need to look at the Respect Life Apostolate and their Position Statement on Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The real injustice is being done by those alleged Catholics misrepresenting the truth–what Pope Paul VI alluded to in 1972: “The smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God.” 

Those who wish to donate to breast cancer research, have a plethora of smaller foundations that are pro-life, and do not support the destruction of embryonic human embryos used for research:

  o  National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.
  o  Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer Research
  o  Breast Cancer Prevention Institute
  o  Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer (ABC)
  o  The Polycarp Research Institute
  o  Click here for more options for breast cancer treatment.

Bottom line, the unsavory color “pink” seems to be plastered all over many products, because this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. That will be the first sign Komen is involved, who provides funds to PP, which are used for abortions, and the pill. A definitive link from abortion, and the pill, to breast cancer has been established.

Can anyone say oxymoron? A breast cancer antagonist promoting causes for breast cancer? Sounds like the ‘smoke of Satan’.

We hope all who ignore the scientific research, including every fallen-away Catholic with a deaf ear to God’s obvious signs, come around to the truth.
