The Weedpatch Gazette

In the past radio was something we really depended upon to deliver us from the blue demons and Fibber McGee and Molly premiered the year I was born and made people laugh every time Molly delivered that line “T’ain’t funny, McGee!” But the humor of this generation is for the greater part mean and malicious, vulgar and profane and without any of the redeeming value of the past when folks knew how to laugh at themselves even in the midst of adversity, and for the greater part the humor of this age brings that line by Molly to mind, but in all seriousness “T’ain’t funny, McGee!”

Following the crash of ’29 Hollywood stepped up and gave Americans some marvelous escapist films like the Gold Digger series and others. During WWII there were great films that enabled us to find some escape from the daily news of the horrors of war and the sacrifices required of us here on the Home Front. Now that America is facing a crisis of potentially horrific and unknown dimensions I doubt Hollywood is going to be able to give people anything to laugh and sing about and those great old radio programs have receded into history, alive only in the memories of those of us old enough to remember them.

Some people are working hard at their astrological charts trying to make sense of all the craziness overtaking America and elsewhere in the world but I turn to the Bible, and because of this I don’t need anyone telling me there are hard times coming for America, a time when we will see tent cities, Hoovervilles proliferating, bread lines and soup kitchens, riots, concentration camps, martial law and the military patrolling our cities and borders. Of course, no one really has to turn to the Bible to understand these things are coming, all they have to do is keep tuned in to the news. And despite so many fools in the MSM on TV continuing to laugh and joke with one another in the face of calamity for America I have to say “T’ain’t funny, McGee!”

To repeat a caution I wrote about long ago the leaders and generals of Hitler’s Germany could never have foreseen a “Nuremberg” in their future. “Impossible!” they would have exclaimed. But I could not dismiss such a thing being possible for America because of George Bush and his administration being the most inept and corrupt in our nation’s history leading in that direction. Can God’s judgment of America possibly include a war crimes tribunal for America and its leaders at some point? I freely admit it is the stuff of nightmares for me because I cannot entirely discount such a possibility given the direction toward national suicide our government seems to be leading us.

Divide and conquer is a familiar phrase and one of the Devil’s most successful tactics throughout human history, For example all the while perverts are trying to have their perversion legitimized by the insanity of demanding to be “married” despite the obviously perverted lunacy of such a thing, trading on their success by the Devil’s servants and media corrupting the term “gay” and using the lunatic term “homophobic” knowing full well as I do with a Ph. D. in Human Behavior that a true phobia is a clinically determined irrational fear and to have the perfectly natural reaction of revulsion to perversion on the part of sexually normal people demonized all the while the correct term is really “heterophobia” as evidenced by the perverts themselves. And apart from my own personal revulsion toward homosexual abnormal behavior my position is that of the Bible which declares homosexuality to be an abomination to God! As an ordained minister I used to preach that from my pulpit, and I will continue to preach it despite the Devil’s crowd trying to suppress the truth of the matter.

But it is the Devil’s tactics to divert attention from an agenda of destroying America as the Evil One is busy at work as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour while rewarding his servants by great wealth and power, dividing America into various factions along the lines of politics, religion, race, and including that of homosexuals each demanding they be treated preferentially by law and be given entitlement contrary to even common sense. And it is nothing less than perverse that our own government has betrayed America by evil and wicked university professors and politicians with their corporate bosses dedicated to destroying our heritage and culture, refusing to secure our borders for the obvious sake of slave labor, and rather than making English our common language by law and refusing to print ballots in a polyglot of foreign tongues forces legitimate American citizens “Press one for English!”

There are some who would attempt to label me crazy because I believe the Devil owns the media and caused it to treat Barack Hussein Obama like a rock star and from the very beginning made it impossible to address the obvious anti-American alliances and agenda of this servant of the Devil. Even now when so much of his evil tactics, alliances and agenda are being exposed the MSM continues to treat him as their own darling. My position is that the GOP was crazy for nominating McCain, though I saw Governor Palin as a glimmer of hope. Now, I have to consider the possibility that an Obama presidency should that come to pass will be a part of God’s judgment against America.

Because I believe the prophets of the Bible did have special communications from God and wrote what they were told to write it is easy to dismiss me as an End Times crackpot. But the evidence for this position is in knowing that no one could possibly have written the book of Revelation for example unless they were guided by God in doing so. I often compare such a thing with Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky. It is a device of some English literature teachers to ask their students to make sense of the story, and some of the less literate in such classes will attempt to do so, much to their chagrin when it is pointed out it was written as intentional nonsense.

But the book of Revelation while the biblically illiterate may try to dismiss it as silly or nonsense show their ignorance by missing the all-important point that unlike the Jabberwocky no one could possibly have simply decided to write such a thing, that it was beyond either ability or imagination to do such a thing. All during the years of my academic Biblical studies including the best of Biblical scholars the thing that struck me as most important to the literal veracity of the Bible in so many cases was the fact so much of it could not possibly have been written simply because someone decided to make up a story. And even if such a thing were possible, why would anyone decide to do this, what could they possibly hope to gain by doing so?

The Bible not only holds its own against all other works of literature, but is far above any works of human invention. And one only has to read the extracanonical literature to understand why these were excluded from the canon of Scripture. As to what God has in store for America perhaps our nation is at the tipping point for it to become Babylon of Revelation and our destruction will come suddenly, and all that follows as though to credit that Doomsday Calendar if not the prophecies of the Bible.

Along with the precious New Testament my maternal great-grandmother bought for me and underlined throughout for my special attention to these passages I have another precious book; a hymnal my grandparents used in our small Little Oklahoma church on the corner of Cottonwood and Padre in southeast Bakersfield that grandad built himself. It is titled The Latter Rain Revival Hymnbook. I often leaf through this recalling as though it were only yesterday the singing of our little congregation back then when the Okies and Arkies of the Dust Bowl migration of our neighborhood would come together to make a joyful noise unto the Lord.

But now with America facing such catastrophic times it is the title of that hymnbook together with the events now being paraded across TV screens and the thoroughgoing corruption in our government being revealed for the whole world to witness that called to mind the following passage from Scripture: James 5:1-7: Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
