NEWSDUMP UPDATE: TRUMP MEETS NATO SECRETARY-GENERAL MARK RUTTE AT MAR-A-LAGO
NOS Netherlands-"NATO chief Rutte and Trump discuss security issues"
The first song this week one I have memories of hearing on the radio even back when it was first on the radio in 1965. I was five years old then.
As I went on through life wounded, isolated cut off resorting to the females I infatuated myself with in my imagination this song seemed to fit in quite well.
The Seekers with Judith Durham singing those haunting true to my life experience lyrics:
"Oh my love, Oh my love I cried for you so much lonely nights without sleeping while longed for your touch."
I was out there folks lost in lust lost in infatuation no kidding...
"A WORLD OF OUR OWN"-THE SEEKERS
"GOOD LOVING (MAKES IT RIGHT)"-TAMMY WYNETTE
"TEDDY BEAR SONG"-BARBARA FAIRCHILD
"THE PAIN THAT PLAGUES CREATION"-MARK HEARD
Four songs from the collection of three thousand.
Welcome to this week's attempt at media excellence let's go for it.
It's time for a Kim Jong-Un Update Sir Elton John sings "Rocket Man"...
Even the Devil speaks the truth once in a while we are told here's what Kim Jong-Un said the other day...
"Now we can see the most chaotic and violent world since World War II...
"The reality of today is that just as nearly 100 years ago when fascism in Europe and Asia united to undermine the world order, reactionary forces in the West and East under the leadership of US imperialism are trying to establish a tyrannical, greedy order in the world"
KIM JONG-UN SPEAKS AT ARMS EXHIBITION IN PYONGANG, NORTH KOREA THURSDAY NOVEMBER 21, 2024...
"World has not seen such chaos, brutality since World War II---Kim Jong Un-The North Korean leader explained that 'shameless tricks' of the US to establish its hegemony and 'the resulting discord and confrontation of all kinds' have passed the 'critical point of explosion' and escalated into 'unjust and terrible wars' and 'catastrophic disasters'"-Tass Russia
What Kim is saying heck even Vladimir Putin points this way is that the USA is the new Axis not Russia, North Korea, China, Iran as the Neoconservative-Neoliberal policy makers seem to want us to think.
Israel has Iran as an enemy for sure but Israel never joined the arms supply orgy in Ukraine even when was it wasn't at war.
Ukrainian Nationalism was a Handmaiden of the Holocaust.
How does the modern Western World resemble Nazi Germany?
"Nazi art drew from two themes, and two alone; Pornography and Militarism"
JOURNALIST HOWARD K. SMITH "LAST TRAIN FROM BERLIN" PAGE 27
"...one of the first Nazi measures, and one of their best was the banning of all pornographic picture magazines, in 1933.
Since the war, under the heading of 'Art' pornographic picture magazines have appeared in legions. Be they called as they may--the "Faith and Beauty" magazine, "The Dance," "Modern Photography"--they all contain nothing but photos of naked women and all boil down to the same old pornographic fare of pre-Nazi days.
Sales, I'm told, are terrific.
War seems to have some causal relation with pornography"
JOURNALIST HOWARD K. SMITH "LAST TRAIN FROM BERLIN" PAGE 153
It's worth noting at this point that one should not make the mistake and I don't think many of us would of believing that we need to look towards Kim and Putin for a moral compass.
They could rightly be accused of losing theirs of being tyrants or authoritarian and so on but the deepest truth I know is that ALL OF HUMANITY HAS SINNED AND THAT I AM THE LEADING OFFENDER...
"The Cross also exposes me before the eyes of other people, informing them of the depth of my depravity. If I wanted to others to think highly of me, I would conceal the fact that a shameful slaughter of the perfect Son of God was required that I might be saved.
But when I stand at the foot of the Cross and am seen by others under the light of that Cross, I am left uncomfortably exposed before their eyes.
Indeed, the most humiliating gossip that could ever be whispered about me is blared from Golgotha's hill; and my self-righteous reputation is left in ruins in the wake of its revelations.
With the worst facts about me thus exposed to the view of others, I find myself feeling that I truly have nothing left to hide.
Thankfully, the more exposed I see that I am by the Cross, the more I find myself opening up to others about ongoing issues of sin in my life.
(Why would anyone be shocked to hear of my struggles with past and present sin when the Cross already told them I am a desperately sinful person?)
And the more open I am to confessing my sin to fellow Christians, the more I enjoy the healing of the Lord in response to their grace-filled counsel and prayers. (James 5:16)
Experiencing richer levels of Christ's love in companionship with such saints, I give thanks for the gospel's role in forcing my hand toward self-disclosure and the freedom that follows."
"A GOSPEL PRIMER FOR CHRISTIANS"-MILTON VINCENT PG. 34-35
Your host character assassin, liar, thief, hypocrite and yes luster wow a former President of the United States summed it up this way:
"I try not to commit a deliberate sin. I recognize that I'm going to do it anyhow, because I'm human and I'm tempted. And Christ set some almost impossible standards for us. Christ said: 'I tell you that anyone who looks on a woman with lust has in his heart already committed adultery.'
I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do and I have done it--and God forgives me for it, But that doesn't mean that I condemn someone who not only looks on a woman with lust but who leaves his wife and shacks up with somebody out of wedlock.
Christ says, Don't consider yourself better than someone else because one guy screws a whole bunch of women while the other guy is loyal to his wife. The guy who's loyal to his wife ought not to be condescending or proud because of his relative degree of sinfulness.
One thing that Paul Tillich said was that religion is a search for the truth about man's existence and his relationship with God and his fellow man; and that once you stop searching and think you've got it made---at that point, you lose your religion.
Constant reassessment, searching in one's heart---it gives me a feeling of confidence"
LONGTIME SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER AND ONETIME DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES JIMMY CARTER IN HIS "PLAYBOY" INTERVIEW-NOVEMBER 1976 ISSUE
Jimmy Carter telling truth that corresponds to my story.
I am someone who has worked the 12 Steps in the last 16 plus years sometimes faintly sometimes more distinctly.
There's a lot of assessment and reassessment in that and I have experienced changes through the process.

REMEMBERING THE 'OTHER GUY' IN THIS RUSH LIMBAUGH TELEVISION SHOW VIDEO
RUSH LIMBAUGH TALKS ABOUT BILL CLINTON PUTTING ON A TEARFUL ACT AS HE LEAVES COMMERCE SECRETARY RON BROWN'S FUNERAL WITH DR. TONY CAMPOLO WHO PASSED AWAY THIS WEEK AT THE AGE OF 89
DR. ANTHONY CAMPOLO 1935-2024
"Bill Clinton's Spiritual Advisor"
"The Democrat Party At Prayer"
"He often called himself a 'Progressive'"
"When I was in the room with him he was fun to be with"
"He led the altar calls just like other preachers did"
Dr. Anthony Campolo passed away this week at the age of 89. I encountered him at the "Creation" Christian festivals and was in the media tent with him having conversations doing interviews.
My experiences with Tony in the room with me in the early 1980's before his Bill and Hillary Clinton days fun times with a fun guy.
One day he came here to York, Pennsylvania to preach a series of meetings sponsored by a coalition of the mainline Protestant churches.
I did an interview with him at a dinner event in advance of those meetings.
His most famous preaching was "It's Friday But Sunday's Comin'"...
I cannot deny the powerful style of Tony Campolo his "Don Rickles Persona" on full display in that video.
Heck I think I picked up some of my 'style' from him.
But there's politics in his story heck there's politics in my story what a distraction it became from that deeper and truer knowledge of my Higher Power Jesus.
He often called himself a "progressive" in his interviews hit the talking points about 'racism' 'sexism' and 'homophobia' throughout his public speaking, preaching career etc. etc...
And where do talking points like that come from Jesus Christ or Karl Marx?
But in the end as I reflect on the work, the life, the ministry of Dr, Anthony Campolo I am simply reminded that I can't be distracted by any political agenda Left or Right that takes me away from what really matters and that is Christ and Christ crucified.
If I follow Jesus and whoa have I strayed all these years, if I follow Jesus and seek to be more like Jesus each and every day, each and every minute, that is what will count and last more than a fleeting moment.
"For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified"

I also interviewed the singer of the next song back in the early 1980's as well...
