REMEMBERING NON-REVISED HISTORY: JAN 3, 2015


Because much rewriting of history is destroying the truth.

Abraham Lincoln
16th President of the United States (1861-1865)

Quote Background
An excerpt from a speech delivered to the New York Workingmen’s Democratic Republican Association on March 21, 1864.

Biography
ABRAHAM LINCOLN (February 12, 1809 – April 14, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, the first-ever president of the newly-formed Republican party, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its greatest constitutional, military, and moral crises—the American Civil War—preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, strengthening the national government and modernizing the economy. Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, Lincoln was self-educated, and became a country lawyer. Lincoln, a moderate from a swing state, secured the Republican Party presidential nomination in 1860. With almost no support in the South, Lincoln swept the North and was elected president in 1860.

Feel-Good Preacher Joel Osteen May Have Violated
Lakewood Church Non-Profit Status

Top Name-It-And-Claim-It/Blab-It-And-Grab-It Televangelist Joel Osteen
Is Caught Up In A Financial Scandal That Could Destroy His $50 Million Empire

NTEB News Desk — New York attorney Richard Garbarini claimed he’s blowing the whistle on the 51-year-old nicknamed “The Smiling Preacher.” Garbarini – who previously helped a band win a judgment from Osteen and his Lakewood Church for stealing their music – is calling for an investigation, charging that Osteen uses his charity to promote his for-profit books.

While the Houston-based ministry is listed as a non-profit, Garbarini said: “He’s leveraging the church as a money-making vehicle! The church pays to air his sermons, which are just de facto infomercials to promote his books. The Lakewood Church is a shell to funnel people to his website so he can sell his books.” Osteen’s latest title, “You Can, You Will,” was a hot holiday seller, and the Lakewood Church website prominently sells it along with Osteen’s past books, including five best sellers.

Daniel Borochoff, head of Charity Watch, a non-profit watchdog, said Garbarini is right to red-flag Osteen’s activities, if true. “A non-profit needs to be acting in the public interest and not in the private personal business interests of Joel Osteen,” he explained. “The church should benefit from the royalties of these books when they are shouldering at least some of the cost of promoting them. If it isn’t getting something back, it oughta be. It’s too much a promotional vehicle for him.”

Osteen’s rep called Garbarini’s allegations “false and baseless,” adding: “For more than 50 years Lakewood Church has adhered to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.”

Middle School Kids Taken To Hear Louis Farrakhan
Call For Violence Against The ‘Crackers’

“We want some of this earth or we’ll tear this g****amn country up!”

By Jeff Dunetz, Ben Shapiro’s Truth Revolt — An administrator at Booker T. Washington Middle School in Baltimore, MD, took forty young teenage students as young as eleven-years-old to the 2nd Annual Black United Summit International (BUSI) conference where they heard bigoted purveyor of hatred Louis Farrakhan reference white people as "crackers” and a call for “retaliation” for Michael Brown's death. According to Danette Clark, ​who wrote about the conference for the Education Action Group's website EAG News, the theme of the conference was "Re-Claim, Re-Pair, Re-Form, Re-Produce, – REPARATIONS NOW!" The event was held at Morgan State University and attended by more than 2,000 “students, community leaders, and distinguished guests.”...

It IS Happening Here: “Permanent Gun Confiscation” Ordered
After Veteran Sought ‘Voluntary’ Treatment For Insomnia

By Mac Slavo, SHTFplan.com — For those who have always believed that it can’t happen here, think again, because it IS happening, and things are only going to get worse as data surveillance becomes a way of life.

Gun confiscation at the hands of medical records sharing is now officially a reality, with serious consequences for the individuals involved.

Now, under ObamaCare, the United States is on pace to swiftly become a snitch society that would make East Germany and Soviet Russia blush.

One former Navy man and 30-year police force veteran is suing the relevant authorities in New York after four of his legally registered firearms were confiscated as a result of his seeking voluntary treatment for insomnia.

Despite the fact that he has no criminal record, was diagnosed with only “mild depression” and his record explicitly noted that there was no concern for violence, the man was listed as a “mental defective.” And thanks to New York’s “SAFE Act” for Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013, his weapons were seized by the local sheriff’s office after his records were shared and New York State Police made repeated requests for confiscation, as American Thinker reported:...

Science Making Case Of God

CleanTV: Family-Friendly Television and Video On Demand

Partial Transcript: The Wall Street Journal is huge and generally accurate but not the first place you think of when you want to learn more about God. But recently they published a superb article on how science is making the case for God.

Huh? I am just a dumb computer but I thought science was the enemy of God. Remember the Big Bang and how scientists claim the universe invented itself without God? And around the time I was first assembled I recall the ultimate insult hurled against our loving creator. It was when scientists arrogantly and ignorantly declared God dead. For one that’s an illogical assertion since their very statement acknowledges that God once lived if He is now dead.

Imagine the sheer foolishness it takes for mere mortals to believe that the supernatural creator of the universe once lived and now is dead. But a growing number of scientists finally admitting that the rumors of God’s death were greatly exaggerated. ... read full transcript here

Germany’s Chancellor Siding With Anti-Semites By Denouncing Protesters In The Name Of Tolerance

By Ben Barrack, Shoebat.com — When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu inadvertently gave German Chancellor Angela Merkel a Hitler-like mustache last year during Merkel’s visit to Jerusalem, who knew it would consist of additional irony and perhaps even a little foreshadowing so many months later? As anti-Islamization sentiment is rising in her country, Merkel is siding with forces that largely support anti-Semitism and against those who want to expel it.

If you support Merkel in her opposition to the PEGIDA movement in her country, you might be a racist and a Nazi sympathizer. Once again, western leaders are demonstrating that they are the problem when it comes to confronting forces that want to drastically alter their countries, even conquer them. In Germany, right now, as Shoebat.com has reported, citizens are rising up to demand something be done about the Islamization of their country.

Merkel is listening to them but is choosing to denounce them and side with the religion that her country’s – and perhaps the world’s – most ruthless leader sided with in World War II...

2014’s Top 10 Misreported Or Under-Reported Stories
...some of the worst abuses by America’s news media...

By Roger Aronoff, Western Journalism — As 2014 has come to an end and the new year begins, we want to highlight some of the worst abuses by America’s news media in the past year. We have picked 10 stories for which there were either general narratives presented by the mainstream media which ignored the larger truths to be gleaned from those stories, or, in some cases, the media missed altogether. We easily could have picked 15 topics that met those criteria, but arbitrarily chose to look at 10, and in no particular order....

What the stories we have chosen have in common is that in each case, the media have gone with a narrative that is intended to put the Obama administration, the Democratic Party, or the left in general in the best possible light, all things considered. Clearly, one can find articles and interviews and TV reports that contradict those narratives, and even some that put the Obama administration in a negative light. However, this is our view of how a corrupt, mainstream media attempt to spin these stories, and a brief analysis of what is being ignored or misreported:

1. Benghazi: The Scandal That Won’t Die
2. Obama’s Cynical Leadership
3. Obama’s Foreign Policy Disasters
4. The Rise of the Islamic State & Islamic Terror
5. Covering Momentous Elections
6. Democratic Civil War
7. Continued Failures of Obamacare
8. How the Media Inflame Racial Tensions
9. Media Portray Israel as the Aggressor
10. Judges Challenge Obama Actions

Obamas Dine Like Royalty At Restaurant With $500K Membership
Eatery has $1 billion worth of art on walls, wine stored in ancient Greek jars

By Chelsea Schilling, WND — A record 47 million Americans are now on food stamps, but that didn’t stop President Obama and Michelle Obama, who are known to have extravagant taste, from dining at an exclusive restaurant Thursday where memberships cost as much as $500,000. Vintage Cave, a swanky Honolulu restaurant with 32 seats, is said to have $1 billion worth of art on its walls and stores its wine in an ancient Greek jar known as an amphorae. The restaurant’s website invites guests to dine in a “cave-like environment” and to “relax, ‘hit reset’ and escape the ordinary.” Guests must purchase a membership: $50,000 to be a “special member” and $500,000 to be a “charter member.”...

The ‘Good War’ Obama Surrendered

By Arnold Ahlert, Frontpage Mag — On Christmas Day at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, followed by a White House press release on Dec. 28, President Obama announced the end of the war in Afghanistan. “We’ve been in continuous war now for almost thirteen years—over 13 years,” he said, “and next week we will be ending our combat mission in Afghanistan. Obviously, because of the extraordinary service of the men and women in the American armed forces, Afghanistan has a chance to rebuild its own country. We are safer. It’s not going to be a source of terrorist attacks again,” he added.

If that message sounds familiar, it’s because virtually the same message was delivered on Dec. 14, 2011 at Fort Bragg, NC. That’s when Obama announced that “America’s war in Iraq will be over” and that “we’re leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant” nation. That would be the same Iraq where, swiftly after Obama’s precipitous military withdrawal, Islamic militants embarked on a barbaric campaign of terror, seizing large swaths of Iraqi territory and wiping out much of the security gains achieved through the loss of thousands of American lives in that country....

Geoengineering Scientist Tells All About Chemtrails

The Alex Jones’ Infowars
Dr. Matthew Watson from Bristol University in the UK told the media recently that he’s “terrified” by many of the geoengineering projects currently in the works to thwart man-made climate change, a phenomenon being hawked as an excuse for weather modification programs by many in mainstream science as a ‘threat to humanity.

ISIS Targets 2,000-Year-Old Ancient Nineveh Walls In Iraq

By Mary Chastain, Breitbart — The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) set their eyes on another historical site to demolish as they continue to establish their caliphate across Iraq. Residents near Mosul told Assyrian website Ankawa the militants’ plan to blow up the walls of Nineveh, which date back to almost 700 B.C.. Unnamed sources said the Islamic State leaders told members to set booby traps along the walls. If the Iraqi army attempts to liberate the area, the militants must “complete the bombing of the historic walls.” The walls are attributed to King Sennacherib, who rebuilt the city during his reign beginning in 704 B.C., and consist of a seven and a half mile barrier around the city—presumably to protect it from attack when it served as the capital of ancient Assyria. Nineveh was so important and Sennacherib’s contributions so great that some archaeologists have gone as far as to attribute to him the construction and maintenance of the ancient Hanging Gardens, long believed to be in Babylon....

ISIS: The Best Terror Threat U.S. Tax Money Can Buy

By Alex Newman, The New American — The self-styled “Islamic State,” the gaggle of medieval savages and barbarians often referred to as ISIS or ISIL, is now infamous worldwide for its unrestrained brutality. The al-Qaeda offshoot exploded onto the scene in 2014 amid its gruesome and bloody effort to build an Islamic “Caliphate,” exterminate “apostates,” and overthrow the “apostate” regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. America and the West are supposedly next — at least that is what the public is being told.

Ever since ISIS emerged seemingly out of nowhere, Americans and people around the globe have been treated to a steady TV diet of beheadings, massacres, crucifixions, and other unspeakable horrors perpetrated by the group. Even young children, whose only “crime” was professing faith in Jesus Christ, have been butchered in the most grotesque ways imaginable by the terror outfit. Eventually, ISIS leaders claim, the whole world will submit to the Islamic god, Allah, and his caliph on Earth, a mystery man who goes by the name “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi” and was once detained in the U.S.-run prison Camp Bucca in Iraq....

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14
