The Rural Missourian

These are the musings, aphorisms, and reflections of a grizzle-bearded pastor and novice historian living in the wooded hills of rural Missouri or Mizzurah as some put it in these parts. Included, as I am able to mine the riches of history, are the musings of various pioneers who, through toilsome work and dogged determination, blazed the difficult paths that built our once prosperous, agrarian culture. Soli Deo Gloria!

News Commentary May 9, 2006

In the days prior to blogging I would publish from time to time (via e-mail) commentaries that I or others would make on various news items of interest. With so many noteworthy things going on these days I have resurrected the concept using my blog as the means of publishing. Let me know if they are worth your time to read, as I understand we do not have time to waste, but neither are we to be ignorant of what is going on around us. Only those that see and walk in the light of God’s Word can rightly act as watchman on the wall and do we need them now more than ever!

U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols
by Sara A. Carter, Staff Writer, dailybulletin.com

It couldn’t be any more obvious these days that the US federal government uses its power to promote and implement its international corporate interests rather than the rights of those that it is purported to work for, the citizens of the United States, whatever that means these days. In an effort to protect the rights of the illegal aliens unlawfully crossing the established borders of constitutionally protected sovereign states as well as the private property of US citizens, federal authorities are tipping off the Mexican authorities as to the daily movements of the Minutemen patrols and other civilian border patrol groups.

“A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed the notification process, describing it as a standard procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed.”

Note the wording that “migrant’s rights” are being observed. George Orwell would have been proud at the PC doublespeak used here. That it’s standard US procedure to reassure corrupt governments that the rights of their citizens committing crimes in unlawfully crossing US borders are being protected – especially above those the US government is bound by law to protect – ought to really catch our attention. Think again if you believe the political process of today has any connection to the protection, care, and wellbeing of you or your family. Only by fearing God and keeping His covenant do we have rights of protection and care from God.

"Now we know why it seemed like Mexican officials knew where we were all the time," said Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. "It's unbelievable that our own government agency is sending intelligence to another country. They are sending intelligence to a nation where corruption runs rampant, and that could be getting into the hands of criminal cartels. "They just basically endangered the lives of American people."

I commend Mr. Simcox’s work to patrol and guard our borders, but his unbelief at the unlawful actions of our behemoth central government is a wee bit late. By the Law of the Lord, which makes manifest the thoughts and intentions of the heart of man, it doesn’t take long to rightly identify and trace the actions of our government, which for many decades has abandoned the rights of the American people to promote the agenda of the corporate moneychangers that usurped them long ago. “Money assumes the prerogative of ruling the country and defying the laws of the land. It walks boldly into legislative halls and arrogates all of the rights, powers, and immunities of supreme Lawgiver. Money has laid under tribute the labor and property of the country, controls public interests and public men. No class of people receive legislative consideration, except money brokers and paper shavers.” (Henry Clay Dean, Crimes Of The Civil War and Curse Of The Funding System - Baltimore: Innes & Company, 1868, p. 275.)

In addition to PC doublespeak, demonizing the actions of others by labeling them evil by words that once meant good, but have been redefined as evil, is very effective in redirecting alarm or suspicion. Martinez said Mexico's official perception of the civilian groups is that they are vigilantes, a belief the Border Patrol hoped to allay by entering into the cooperative agreement [of giving intelligence and making sure that any “illegal” actions of the US vigilance groups be investigated and prosecuted].

From Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language we read: Vigilance, n [Fr. From Latin vigilans. See Vigil], 2. Watchfulness; circumspection; attention of the mind in discovering and guarding against danger, or providing for safety. Vigilance is a virtue of prime importance in a general. Did you note that this definition comes from a dictionary that is decidedly American from a time when it was closely related to the protestant faith of the Great Reformation. As the definitions in this dictionary are decidedly Un-American by today’s pagan standards, it’s likely the vigilantes of political correctness will ban it from public libraries and the public square since it is so offensive to the God-hating moralizers that run roughshod over us.

Given the massive pagan agenda of the Federal Government – which began with the War of Northern Aggression – to force everyone to “think and talk the same free-thinkin' way they do with no regard to station, custom, or propriety,” perhaps the US Border Patrol would better fulfill it’s mission by patrolling the borders of the minds of those that are alien to the pagan, free-thinkin' agenda they enforce, largely the minds of Christians who bow the knee to the One Who grants true freedom, the Lord Jesus Christ. Even so, come Lord Jesus and make quick work of the apostate covenant-breaking of your people and set them free, indeed.

Herrick,

Yes, that is Sam, an amazingly disciplined mule. His sister is Sadie. They are the matched pair of draft mules we took our first muleskinning and log skidding lesson with. They are sorrel mules, a cross between a Belgian draft horse mare and a Mammoth Jack. They stand 17 hands and weigh 1600 lbs each. They are the highlight of the article I’ll be publishing soon.
