Talk of prophets and the future of a nation
Friday, March 13, 2009 11:06 PM PDT
I watch as history repeats what an older generation has already seen and knows. The future brings World War III; the past brought World War I and World War II.
Mankind is wanting, and now. Those in power are using this to control the people through what is called government. George Washington, a president who refused to lie, had an angel tell him this nation's future. Yes, Washington's vision (or prophet's statement) is documented. Much has already happened.
Three things remain: A red cloud will cover this nation (socialism or communism has been described as a red cloud); the government will take over banks and manufacturing corporations (socialism); and a light of a thousand suns will cover a nation (a description of the nation's first nuclear explosion). Yes, then the country will rebuild itself.
A prophet is one who makes a statement — past, present or future. I trust I will not be stoned to death, but give readers a reason to read, search and think.

You have no more interest in discussing the topic of this letter, or your halucinations, than your funny soap twin Rhodie (speaking of soap twins, a quick digression for Brian - does anyone remember those big double bars of Ivory soap you used to have to break in half?).
Anyway, danielh, you'll just have to keep running up to slow-moving strangers in the street if you want new victims to listen while you go prattling on about constitutional bankruptcy and bills-accepted-as-payment, along with your idiotic birth certificate/bank note meme. I've heard enough and won't drop that coin in your nickelodeon.
This blog is about the lie of Washington's vision of angels; can you put your conspiracy theories away for just five minutes? "

I am:
neither republican nor democrat, nor any other political party, not even a voter.
neither liberal, conservative nor any of the in-between or over the edge words.
I am a law merchant, and a Secured Party creditor, not a DEBTOR. If you want to know what these are, we'd probably have to talk somewhere.
I believe that I can create funds with my ink pen, although I have never done so, intentionally, and stood behind it. "
danielh wrote on Mar 19, 2009 9:07 AM:
Now you really hit a hot button.
First: It is the signature that creates funds, not words.
Where did you get that from? Not from me, I hope. If I wrote it, I hope that I was being satirical.
If I did write it, I take back anything that was serious.
That is a hot controversial topic, and I'm not sure that the people that use it really know what it is for.
Some people pay their bills with it.
Others say that you can't pay your bills with it, unless it is accompanie by a payment.
I am yet to hear a definitive, clear explanation for how it works.
One thing I know for sure: If it works every time, and I that that it does, the funds are stolen. The merchant is mad because they expected to be paid twice, and the A4V signature takes away one of the payments. "

And, as far as your traveling citation, I think you should stride into that courtroom and bounce that crumpled-up ticket right off the judge's face before turning on your heel and striding right back out again. Who do those low-life cops think they're ticketing, anyway?! You tell 'em, Hutchins. You tell them what to kiss and whose to kiss, then you just take your leave of them and leave 'em gaping as you walk away.
And just write on that warrant that you accept it for value and wait for the look on their faces... and who will be laughin' then, Danny Boy? You will. "

No, right now I have granite counters and stone tiles in the kitchen so no lye in there. And the garage is either for my wifes car or the family bikes so no room for a soap factory there.
I think one of my favorite Glycerin soaps was one where I cut Loofahs and formed the soaps around it. The soap was a moisturizer with peppermint/lemon essential oil. Worked great on the skin and picked you right up in the morning.
But I like Lye based soaps better. Last longer. "
danielh wrote on Mar 18, 2009 8:39 PM:
I was "insulted" by association with "conservatives," because the general class of conservatives that I have observed spend a lot of time saying they are conservative, and then they support the George Bush administration.
8 years ago, I heard with my own ears a living man who claimed to be conservative exclaimed that George Bush's moral standards represented the highest moral standards of conduct, unsurpassed by any standard of comparison.
Then I don't understand how a group of citizens who claim to be the highest of moral conduct can sit around a room in a meeting and exclaim that their government has got to be re-elected or the whole country was going to disintegrate into oblivion.
Nope. Please don't group me with such blindness. "

I had a real nice recipe for morning and night soaps using essential oils to wake or calm as needed.
I haven't made soaps in a few years, didn't want to risk the new floor with the lye;(
When we finally get some acres out in the country I'm getting my own craft shed and am thinking about renewing my soap addiction.
Sorry for the digression, I just like talking to other soap makers. "

The Christian conservatives will get positively teary-eyed over the many, many hours, days - even weeks - of enjoyment, reading and re-reading, again and again of the coming end times for America. Don't waste your time imagining your own hideous end to this once great nation, read about it! Get it from the source! Get it from someone who actually KNOWS! Get your copy and make your plans for oblivion today!
And for the "Streeties" among us, read the one about the end of the world in 2012! This world is too good to last! "

I'd love to hear more about how you believe angels flitted or hovered or dropped like rocks from heaven or space and spoke to George Washington; and why you know it to be true because it was written in ink.
There is an undeniable continuity in your blogs concerning your profound preoccupation with documents and printed matter.
I'm curious, if someone were to now, in 2009, make a claim that Teddy Roosevelt had a visit from angels during his Spanish war days in Cuba - and the account of it was published (in ink), would you believe it? Is it the ink or the printing/publishing? Or is it the angels/heaven tie-in? "

We are arguing. (only when I have time to spare).
You write things that I don't read.
What's most important here?
I say that the most important problem is banking.
Not war, not the corporate officer Barrak Obama, but banking.
I thought this article was interesting, but it focuses on consequences.
These consequences are directly related to banking. "

Billy Rubin wrote on Mar 15, 2009 11:20 AM:
In actual historical fact, there is no contemporary quote from Washington's lips or his pen (and he was a prolific writer) documenting a "vision of angels".
Fables of a vision were reported by one obscure individual and not published until more than 100 years after the supposed "incident".
Do you think if it was true people would have spoken of it before a century had passed? Or, can you envision the possibility that the "prophesy" was written post facto by someone other than Washinton? And that possibly George Washington was not visited by actual supernatural magical heavenly angels dispatched from the clouds or space or Mount Olympus or wherever they are from...
If it gives you comfort to imagine ghosts and other-worldly spirits visiting and advising our presidents that's your business, but in the clear light of day it is foolishness to believe such a fantasy to be true.
Would you be pre-disposed to believe every word if it was reported Obama claimed to have been visited by actual angels in the oval office? "

For example, the prophesy of Daniel in the bible (not me) predicts (what is the name again(?) - it's early in the morning) Palm Sunday (?)
Christ was rejected on Palm Sunday.
The prophesy of Daniel makes reference to an event that occurred 63x7 = 441 years before Palm Sunday. It hits the date exactly to the day.
I think George Washington's vision predicts several events that have already come true. "

Regardless of who had this vision, it seems to be pretty on the mark; especially the last one given our current situation in the U.S.

I couldn't find any real information about who Pythia Peay was, only her writings which are strongly New age and have strong Eastern influences as well as strong Feminist beliefs. While I understand these credentials may not mean much to you I read her conclusions about Washington with a skeptics eye since I have not found a second source which casts relyable doubt the vision.
Of course this comes from someone that believes in prophesy so my own comments can be viewed with skepticly. I just wanted to point out for anyone who didn't go to the link that there was only one source listed and it could be a biased source. "
