Activist Post: 17 Facts To Show To Anyone Who Believes That The U.S. Economy Is Just Fine #news
COMPARING THE BOOK TO THE BIBLE
Heaven Is For Real is the story of little Colton Burpo who came down with stomach pains and a high fever. His appendix has burst and he goes in for emergency surgery. While on the operating table, little Colton has a vision where he is taken to Heaven and “meets Jesus”. When he awakes he tells that story, as well as conversations he says he heard while being operated on. His father declares this to be “a miracle”, and the book was written. Here now are the major claims of the book compared to the bible. Please read and decide for yourself.

Why Say No to an Unnecessary Root Canal Procedure
My dentist tried very hard to talk me into a root canal a while back. Fortunately, I remembered what I had read about the procedure and refused it. But dentists can be very aggressive when pushing root canals. Read this and watch the video so you're prepared if you ever have the procedure suggested to you.

POSITIVE WORDS ARE LIFE-GIVING, LIFE-CHANGING
"Anxious hearts are very heavy, but a word of encouragement does wonders." -The Bible
Today I'm sending a universal letter of encouragement because I think that people spend way too much time criticizing and way too little time encouraging the people around them.
I watched a movie last night on Netflix titled The Letter Writer. It was about an old man named Sam who lived in a nursing home and wrote encouraging letters. He then chose names and addresses out of the phone book to send them to. Sometimes he would write cards and then hand them out to people as he walked around. If he got the feeling that you needed encouragement when you walked past him, you got a card.
One of his encouraging letters was sent to a troubled teenage girl and it changed her life. Although he didn't know her, Sam's words touched Maggie's heart because they were positive words. When all she heard was criticism from the people who claimed to love her, Maggie read the words in Sam's letter with heartfelt joy. Finally someone was telling her that she was worth something and that she had a bright future.
I couldn't get through this movie without crying. The lesson in it is something we all need to be reminded of. There is great power in encouragement. Positive words can be life-changing. Do you speak words that motivate, compliment, and uplift, or are you more likely to dwell on the negative and voice criticism? Would it hurt to notice the good things about people and tell them?
Sam knew the power of speaking life-building words. He sent encouragement out into the world everyday. And his words changed people for the better. If everyone worked that hard at building people up, we would live in a different kind of society.
Sometimes we do need to point out the negative ruts that we get into. We do need to point out wrong attitudes so they can be corrected. We can't always be focusing on good things because bad attitudes do exist. But when our lives are over, our biggest regrets will be the positive words we didn't say. No one ever regrets on their death bed that they didn't pound someone harder with criticism.
If I would ask you, who do you know that needs encouragement, someone will immediately come to mind. What can you do today to bring encouragement to a heavy heart?

Always Learning: A Huge Loss To Society
I'm not against women working outside the home when they must do it to survive. But sometimes women choose a grand lifestyle that requires two incomes and that's why they have to work. Then they look down on homemakers who don't take vacations, live in smaller homes, drive used cars, clip coupons, cook from scratch, wear second-hand clothes and make many sacrifices to be at home with their children. We should be supportive of any woman's decision to put her husband and children ahead of making money. Stay-at-home moms and homemakers should be admired not criticized. That's what I'm against--the criticism they receive and the way they are demeaned in today's culture. The article below says it beautifully.

ONE OF MANY CANCER CURES THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT
"Successfully treating cancer patients with a natural substance would
mean the loss of billions of dollars every year for Big Pharma, who
still advocate the use of toxic chemotherapy drugs against cancer. The
only way to prevent this is for the large pharmaceutical companies to
pressure the FDA to ban any natural medicines that have the potential to
replace expensive cancer therapies."

HOW MEGA BANKS DESTROYED AMERICA
The newly released story on Salon is called “We are in great danger: Ex-banker details how mega-banks destroyed America” and it’s a story that should not be overlooked considering the source is ex-Goldman Sachs employee Nomi Prins who also worked for Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Chase Manhattan Bank. Prins also warns in the brand new video below with Greg Hunter that the financial collapse ALREADY should have happened…and the hours until it does are passing quickly…
“It no longer matters who sits in the White House,” former Goldman Sachs managing director Prins writes in her new book “All the Presidents’ Bankers: The Hidden Alliances That Drive American Power.” “Presidents no longer even try to garner banker support for population-friendly policies, and bankers operate oblivious to the needs of national economies. There is no counterbalance to their power.”Watch video at link below:

MONEY FROM NOTHING AND DEINDUSTRY KILLING AMERICA
"The trade deficit is one of the biggest reasons for the steady decline of the U.S. economy, but many Americans don't even understand what it is. Basically, we are buying far more stuff from the rest of the world than they are buying from us. That means that far more money is constantly leaving the country than is coming into the country. In order to keep the game going, we have to go to the people that we bought all of that stuff from and ask them to lend our money back to us. Or lately, we just have the Federal Reserve create new money out of thin air. This is called "quantitative easing". Our current debt-fueled lifestyle is dependent on this cycle continuing. In order to live like we do, we must consume far more wealth than we produce. If someday we are forced to only live on the wealth that we create, it will require a massive adjustment in our standard of living. We have become great at consuming wealth but not so great at creating it. But as a result of running gigantic trade deficits year after year, we have lost tens of thousands of businesses, millions upon millions of jobs, and America is being deindustrialized at a staggering pace."

Activist Post: New Video Exposes Smart Meter Tyranny #news
"We have covered stories in the U.S. of utility companies staging literal home invasions to install meters on people's property. One Houston-area homeowner, Thelma Taormina,
was forced to defend her property and her constitutional rights when a
utility worker bypassed her "No Trespassing and No Smart Meters" sign,
then started a scuffle to install a Smart Meter. This is precisely why
the word "tyranny" used in the title is not mere hyperbole."

Heavenly signs suddenly grab attention (Watch trailer)
The Blood Moons will appear this month. The Bible tells us that there will be signs in the Heavens in the last days.
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken” (Luke 21:25-26).

AN EPIDEMIC OF PERVERSITY TARGETING CHILDREN
"Where are all
the parents? Is there anyone left with even ‘some’ morals? Why aren’t
more people standing against such an incredibily disgusting perversion?
Why are children being sexualized? Believe it or not, there are ‘sick in
the head’ morons who believe things like this are ‘cute’ and
‘innocent’!"
