"Hope wasn't enough for three [U.N. Workers].
They were hunted down and brutally slain . . ."
"'They were killed when they were running out of the bunker,"
said Staffan de Mistura, the top U.N. envoy in Afghanistan . . . ."' ". . . . He placed direct blame on those who burned a copy of the Muslim holy book in Gainesville, Florida. . . ."

* It was wrong for the phony "Christians" to burn the Koran, but:
* Internal choice causes murder, not external circumstances (Mat 15:18-19).
* Why do so many Muslims praise and celebrate such reactions of violence?
* Why is the media afraid to connect the dots between beliefs and violence?

- Sex Slaves for Sale on Craig's List (December 2010)http://www.theprovince.com/news/slaves+sale+Craigslist/
3930294/story.html
"That's the charge made by Benjamin Perrin, a University of B.C. law professor and author of the new book Invisible Chains: Canada's Underground World of Human Trafficking.Craigslist is the most popular website in Canada for selling unwanted furniture and apartments," he says, "and unfortunately it is also the No. 1 website in Canada for selling people." Craigslist clearly knows its role, so it could be guilty of "aiding and abetting" while flouting the law in Canada, Perrin says. He points to "horrific crimes," such as the case of a violent pimp named Imani Nakpangi. In the first humantrafficking conviction in Canada in 2008, the Toronto man got five years in jail for luring a 14-year-old girl with fetal alcohol syndrome, and a 15-year-old homeless girl, and pocketing $400,000 in two years by selling them on Craigslist. . . .

Predatory Political Power-Players:
1. Newsweek - POWER AND HYPOCRISY
". . . . [Politicians] are worse than the rest of us. There really is something about power that stokes hypocrisy, which is the practice of engaging in behavior that you condemn in others. According to new research in the current issue of the journal Psychological Science, there is a direct causal connection between power and hypocrisy—or between power and what the scientists unflinchingly call “sanctimony combined with lechery and gluttony. . . . . "(NOTE: Man's pseudo-"research" may claim a "causal connection between power and hypocrisy", but according to the GOOD SHEPHERD the cause of hypocrisy is not power, but the heart - no excuses.)
The GOOD SHEPHERD SAID: "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, . . . " Mark 7:21
Military Misuse of Power
1. Sex and the U.N. (Child Rape)
The Independent, 2005"The UN has a problem of accountability and of abuse; of an organisation sent to police the world which remains unable to police itself, and of a climate of systematic abuse which ranges from alleged high-level fumblings to the rape of girls and boys, some of them as young as six, . . . ."
"Religious" Hypocrisy and Abuse
1. Predatory and Parasitic "Priests/Pastors":
By Barbara Blaine and Rita Nakashima Brock PhD
"The clergy sex abuse and cover-up crisis continue not only across Europe but also across the globe . . . ."
". . . . A painfully familiar, almost formulaic pattern of criminal behavior has emerged in the many stories of sexual abuse by priests this past year. It's the same appalling pattern Americans have seen in case after case in the U.S. And it suggests that, whether through quiet Vatican fiat or a stunningly homogenous and twisted clerical culture, Catholic officials over decades and across national boundaries have engaged in the same destructive (and self destructive) behaviors when it comes to predator priests."
". . . 1) Victims patiently and doggedly struggle to find even one person in the Catholic hierarchy who will listen to their experiences and work to protect others. . . ."
". . . . 2) Reluctant church officials act only when a persistent victim, witness or whistleblower threatens to expose the abuse. . . . ."
". . . . 3) A church insider quietly but bravely alerts his superiors about the abuse report, yet ends up being criticized, instead of rewarded, for his courage and compassion."
". . . . 4) The predator steps aside or is suspended, but little or nothing else is done to protect others from him."
". . . . 5) Knowing that an admitted child molester has had access to hundreds of children over decades, the Catholic hierarchy does the absolute bare minimum -- like letting him resign -- to cover it up, rather than doing the socially responsible and morally right thing."
". . . . 6) After the accused pedophile is ousted, church officials exert little or no effort to seek out and help other victims."

Urgent Call to Prayer for Afghan Christians in Danger
"Devastating reports have been released from various news agencies that a member of the Afghan government has called for the public execution of Christian converts from Islam. This is in response to a video broadcast by the Afghan television network Noorin TV, which showed footage of Christian men being baptized and praying. The deputy secretary of the Afghani parliament said, "Those Afghans that appeared in [the footage] should be executed in public.” The video clip, along with inflammatory statements against the Christian faith, has repeatedly been broadcast on different television stations."
"According to Afghan law, proselytizing is illegal and conversion from Islam is punishable by death. Many Afghan followers of Jesus have been frightened by these events and have gone into hiding while others have fled. Afghan Christians want the world to know about their situation, that in a country, where they have few rights and no voice, they want their voice to be heard." http://members.opendoorsusa.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=47361.0&dlv_id=0

Plato (so, write your representatives & vote!)
Good News
As the world changes with increasing global conflict, confusion, and desperate needs, we each must stay informed, then reflect and refocus our efforts. The problem for most of us, especially me, is that our disabilities tend to overshadow our abilities. But there is hope for all of us - there is Good News:
"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men,
and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
. . . . God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise,
. . . . so that no man may boast before God.
But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus,
who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness
and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written,
"LET HIM WHO BOASTS - BOAST IN THE LORD."
1 Corinthians 1:26-31

* Please Stop Predators - Act Now!
* Missionaries Rescue/Restore Enslaved Romanian Girls
"Missionaries for Birmingham-based Make Way Partners returned last week from Romania, where they built a security fence surrounding a shelter for young women who were victims of sex trafficking. It's the only shelter in all of Romania for victims of human trafficking, but it's one of the worst countries in the world for human trafficking," said Kimberly Smith, executive director of Make Way Partners. "We'd like to be able to take in more girls. . . ."
"They are Romanian girls rescued from brothels in Spain, Greece and Germany," Smith said. "One of the girls, her mother sold her when she was 9 years old, out of desperation."
Dire poverty leaves many children living on the streets of Romania. Organized crime recruits girls by deception, promising jobs in foreign countries. "Sometimes they're lured because they are homeless," Smith said. "They are tricked. They put them on a plane and tell them they'll have a nice home and a job as a nanny."
They are then sent to brothels and kept by force. "They are raped so many times they are afraid to try to escape," Smith said.
Make Way Partners contributes about $125,000 a year to run the shelter, Smith said. The House of Treasure was founded by Iana Matei, a psychologist who has received international acclaim for her rescue work, while enduring threats from organized crime rings that run prostitution networks exploiting girls as young as 10 to 12.
Hundreds of girls, typically 14 to 19, have been through Matei's spiritual counseling and vocational training, Smith said. Once they learn job skills, Matei helps them get an apartment, learn to handle money and develop social skills for interacting with the public.
Smith said that with more help, Matei's efforts could be expanded into a network of homes to rescue victims of sex trafficking, a rampant problem in the former communist nation.
Matei has helped prosecute some sex traffickers and send them to prison, Smith said. The U.S. State Department Trafficking in Persons Report in 2006 named Matei one of 10 "Heroes Acting to End Modern-Day Slavery" worldwide."

Dinesh D'Souza
(Born - Mumbai, India - now world respected geopolitical analyst)
New Book: THE ROOTS OF OBAMA'S RAGE
* Amazon Paper Version (over $ 20)
* Electronic I-Phone / I-Touch Version ($ 9.99)
Why do I recommend this book? ** I don't agree with every detail of D'Souza's ideas or conclusions, especially his failure to emphasize the understandable anger provoked by colonial imperialistic abuses of power. Also, I do not agree that the sole solution is democratic, free market capitalism. Any human government whether socialism or capitalism, without truly humble dependence upon our Creator - the only Good Shepherd - will eventually use and abuse those under it (see below). Yet the central premise of the book is one of the best explanations for the current American regime.
Dinesh D'Souza is an internationally respected scholar, who has taught and presented at major universities around world. His new book (written in a very readable style), THE ROOTS OF OBAMA'S RAGE, is possibly the best yet written to reveal the real Obama. After careful and exhaustive research, D'Souza (an Indian born in poverty in Mumbai) personally shows why angry anti-colonialism is the root motivating Obama, his mother, and his father. Few have read President Obama's earlier book, DREAMS "FROM" MY FATHER. Our president's dream for our country and the whole world is the dream he received "FROM" his father, a bitterly radical, socialistic leader in the African movement against colonial abuse.
On the one hand, D'Souza shows that Obama's belief (that weakening America and the other Western nations so that global socialism can right our national "sins") is the wrong way to fix past and current problems. D'Souza warns that we should be "very, very, concerned" about the future for our children and grandchildren.
On the other hand, sadly, Dr. D'Souza shows how the history of colonial abuses (often in the name of "Christianity") explain why Obama's pastor, the Rev. Wright, could so passionately scream, "G-D American . . . . America's chickens have come home to roost". It also makes sense why Obama sat for 20 years listening respectfully to Rev. Wright. It makes logical and emotional sense that Obama and many others around the world are enraged against the West and a phony form of "christianity".
Sadly, Obama's worldview is a distorted, one-sided perceptual filter developed in the heart of a little boy struggling to make sense of a very confused and hurtful upbringing. Obama's worldview is missing the whole picture that can only be seen from a fully biblical perspective. So few have "seen" true Christianity "lived" out through the actions of "Christian" nations like Britain and the United States, or the agendas of "Christian" transnational corporations. Too often both have used and abused the countries over which their power has forced control.
I recommend Dr. D'Souza's book and pray that Christ-honoring voices will be raised up to awaken all of us to:
1. Grieve over our forefathers' past and present sins against weaker nations and vulnerable people.
2. Reject the false promise of a vain hope in change through socialistic slavery of the masses ruled by a "new" elite.
3. Embrace the true promise of proven freedom through representative democracy and free market independence.
4. Remember the fact that no system of governance can continue in "goodness" over its people unless it and the society under it are saturated with the salt and light of the Good Shepherd's character living through born anew believers (leaders and citizens).
5. Never forget that ONLY our Creator is pure in His goodness, therefore our only hope is humble dependence upon Him and not on another charismatic politician.
6. Pray and work to protect, rescue, and restore those who are oppressed by predatory powerplayers, while proclaiming the full truth of the GOOD SHEPHERD and His Way.
