Alexis Landau's new book 'Those Who Are Saved' builds on the true story of Los Angeles during World War II. It was a safe haven for artists, and was home to many exiled Europeans. It tells the tale of Vera, who is forced to leave her daughter and flee, and explores her path to find the girl she left behind. We discuss how Alexis writes around family time, how it all starts in a flurry of ideas and research, and how she blends factual history with her own creativity. We also chat about why moving around helps her focus, how she picked the messages she wanted to write very carefully, and how the very first idea for the story after a walk to the beach with her husband.

My guest today is Stefan Granados - he joins me to discuss 'Those Were The Days 2.0', the fully updated version of his definitive chronicle of The Beatles' Apple organisation.  Stefan dispels the myth that Apple was the great Beatle folly - it not only was home to hugely successful artists like James Taylor, Badfinger and Mary Hopkin, but it carefully cultivated The Beatles image, and is now a multi million dollar empire.  This fantastic book is published by Cherry Red, and can be purchased at https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/those-were-the-days-2-0-the-beatles-apple-book/    

Strangelove discusses the new Angelina Jolie release on HBO Max, 'Those Who Wish Me Dead' (2021). We discuss the pros (and mainly) cons of the movie. You do not need to see the film before listening to this enjoyable discussion, but it would probably put all of our confusion into perspective! Instagram: @Strangeloveofmoviespod

This week, the guys discuss Those Who Wish Me Dead on HBO Max. And speaking of HBO Max, they also talk about the Warner Media/Discovery merger. Plus: watches are discussed, as always.

This week Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) review Taylor Sheridan’s new fire jumping flick, Those Who Wish Me Dead. Is this ’90s throwback a hit or a miss? Or just kind of generic and lumpy? Plus, we ask whether or not the once-canceled, now-revived biography of Philip Roth by Blake Bailey should see the light of day, given sexual assault accusations leveled against Bailey.

Transcript: Margaret 00:14 Hello, and welcome to Live Like the World is Dying, your podcast for what feels like the end times. I'm your host, Margaret Killjoy, and I use she or they pronouns. This week I'm talking with Philip who, among many other things, teaches security culture trainings. And I first was introduced to Philip's work on it when we had a conversation about the complexities of security culture. Security culture—we'll go over in this episode—is basically the idea of creating a culture of security, a culture of a way—creating a culture by which people don't get caught as much for the types of things that they may choose to want to do in order to advance, you know, their desires. It's for activists and revolutionaries and shit to not get fucking caught. It has lot of good tools around how to do that kind of culturally. This podcast is a proud member of the Channel Zero Network of anarchist podcasts. And—but for this week, and next week, I'm going to do it a little bit differently, and instead of running a jingle for another show on the network, I'm just gonna tell you about another show on the network because I don't think they have a jingle yet. And basically say that the Maroon Cast is now a member of the Channel Zero Network of anarchist podcasts and I'm very excited about that. And you all should go check it out. Also, the Institute for Anarchist Studies is an organization that gives grants to people who—well, I'm just about to play a fucking jingle for it. So I'll just fuckin play the jingle for it—da daaaa! Jingle 01:40 Hey, radicals, anarchists, and all of you liberatory leftists: Are you a podcaster, video maker, multimedia artist, or writer? The Institute for Anarchist Studies wants to let you know we have grants available for projects focusing on Black and indigenous anarchisms, police abolition and alternatives, and mutual aid. For details and how to apply visit anarchiststudies.org and click on the grants application post on our main page. That's anarchiststudies.org. Anarchist-studies-dot-O-R-G. Applications close January 31, 2021. Spread the word and tell your friends. Margaret 02:24 Okay, so if you could introduce yourself with whatever name you want to go by, your pronouns, and I guess kind of a little bit about what brought you to this work of teaching and security culture trainings? Philip 02:35 Yeah, my name is Philip, I use they/them pronouns. I'm living in Suquamish Territory and the Salish Sea. I've been involved in a lot of solidarity work with Indigenous liberation movements and Black liberation movements that have exposed me to a lot of frontline experiences and experiences with state repression, both immediately and down the line. And in response to those encounters with law enforcement with legal repression, and with the effect that that has on our movements, me and a lot of friends and comrades have dived into learning about security culture, learning about the tools and the techniques that we can all use to keep each other safe. And also learning about the ways that the state works to isolate our movements, to discredit our movements—basically, to disempower us—so that we're able to be more informed about how to take care of each other. So I'm definitely deeply indebted to a lot of Black and Indigenous liberation movements for developing these skills and passing them on. And I'm here to just try to contribute now what I've been taught and foster a conversation about how we can be moving into this, like, pretty unprecedented territory in the world of new state surveillance, expanding state surveillance, more encounters with police, but also with right-wing vigilantes, paramilitary groups, white supremacists, and some of the tools we can use. Margaret 04:07 That makes sense. Yeah, one of the reasons that I wanted to have you on in particular is a conversation that we had about the nuances of security culture, and I'm really excited to get into that stuff. But for people who have no idea what we're talking about, could you introduce the concept of security culture? Philip 04:26 Yeah, that's a great question. I feel like there's a lot of intersections between security culture and a lot of other topics that you've had on this show or that you might have on in the future. Ultimately, I think of security culture as this big framework. And it's a framework that helps us reduce risk for ourselves when we're engaging in social movement work, basically by protecting sensitive information. So one definition might be: It's like a mix of interpersonal and organizational and technical practices that help us be more resilient to state repression. It's a shared set of customs, that helps us minimize risk by explicitly naming some norms, over our boundaries and over our communication and that helps us lessen our paranoia, reducing ambiguity, and feeling more secure as we're engaging with the inherently risky work of challenging unjust power systems. Margaret 05:31 So what are some of the examples of that when you talk about, like, changing social norms in order to accommodate security culture? Like, you know, what comes to mind with that? Philip 05:43 Yeah, well, I think that the first thing to say is, intentionally or unintentionally, we all have a set of security practices that we do as human beings. We all have boundaries with each other, intentional or unintentional. And the point of security culture is really to be explicit about those boundaries. I, you know, I really want to do a shout out that a lot of people already practice security, culture, and situational awareness in their daily lives, you know, especially trauma survivors, people who are targeted by police and state surveillance. But some of those specific boundaries and norms that we might use would be having, you know, a clear idea of what information is sensitive, and then not sharing that information with people who don't need to know it, to protect yourself and to protect them. Margaret 06:37 Like so concretely like— Philip 06:38 That— Margaret 06:38 Go ahead. Philip 06:40 Yeah, so that would, you know, a big, obvious one is like, don't talk about illegal activities that you have done, or that you're thinking about doing or asking someone else if they've done it. A big thing might be like, "Oh, yeah, I thought I saw you at this protest the other week doing this illegal action. Was that you? How does that feel to you?" That's a big thing that we wouldn't do. That's a pretty clear violation of norms and boundaries over not wanting people to expose themselves in that way. Margaret 07:09 But what if you want to change your profile picture to, like, you throw in a brick on, like, Facebook? Philip 07:15 And that's another one, you know, it's not only the explicit things that we share with each other, but also what is available to the outside world, to law enforcement, or to right wing groups through our social media presences, through, you know, just things that are immediately perceptible like bumper stickers or, like, the Antifa uniform that we're wearing. Being aware of the information that we're communicating, even if it's non-verbal. Margaret 07:45 One of the— Philip 07:45 Though I do wanna say— One of the main things is we should be aware of the sensitivity of the information and limit the information that's sensitive. And then the flip side of that is not stressing about information that is not sensitive. So it's not only, you know, being discreet and confidential about things that could expose us to legal targeting, but also then shedding the worry and anxiety of, "Oh, do I need to be lying to everyone in my life because they asked me what kind of coffee I like, and they're trying to build a case against me?" Margaret 07:47 Go ahead. Mm hmm. Yeah, that makes sense. I—you know, it's like, when people first started talking about security culture around me, I ran into a lot of—we kind of all ran into a lot of issues of it with it, where it would cause, like, a lot of paranoia and then also a lot of like bravado and, like, it definitely, when practiced poorly, can be kind of not a very pleasant culture to be in. Like, it can become a culture of paranoia. But one of the things that I always really liked doing, you know, okay, so it's like—Alright, if you engage in a culture where you just don't talk about crime, like, you kind of have the sense that everyone around you is doing crime and that's cool (assuming they're doing cool crime, because lots of good things and bad things are crime). You can kind of just like—like, one of the things that I try and tell people is just, like, assume that everyone is a secret badass. Like, the shitty kid has been like sleeping on your couch for two weeks and like, doesn't do her dishes enough or whatever. Like, maybe she's getting up to, like, really wild shit. Or maybe she's on the run, you know, and kind of just assuming that everyone is up to something cool. And therefore you just don't need to know it. I don't know. That's something that's always worked for me. Yeah. Yeah, and I think there's absolutely something to be said there about—it takes a lot of intentional work to sort of decouple these practices from some of the, just the other cultural norms that we all have. And that being a big thing of social clout. Philip 10:00 Of, you know, wanting—especially in a movement space—to be able to, like, celebrate the badass shit that we're doing. And one of the awkward things about security culture, or that makes it a little counterintuitive to people who are just learning it is that a lot of times the things that maybe have the biggest impact on our lives, or that we're spending lots of time or energy working on, or that were these really activating, or traumatizing, or fun and exciting experiences we had, we can't really talk about with other people, both for our safety and their safety. And so it's really nice, then, to think, not only, you know, is that something that we shouldn't do, but then also allowing us to think about, well, what are some of the positive ways that we can still be fostering community connection, and, you know, healthy, strong relationships and trust with people where we're not having to communicate about risky things that could implicate us in, like, all sorts of legal entanglements, but instead we can be still be building vulnerability and trust with each other. And that's a really big, important part of security culture that I think gets missed by a lot of people is that this is a great opportunity, actually, for us to think about what are our community norms around communication and interpersonal dynamics? And what are some of the ways that we can shape those intentionally to, like, really build trust and group cohesion and the ability to make us all feel like we're able to do the things that we need to do to survive in this world while staying safe? Margaret 10:00 Yeah. Okay, so what are some of those things? Philip 11:32 So I think a big one is that building trust with each other is an active process that we all need to be doing, especially in movement work. One of the big things that I think is really important is being able to, you know, talk about harmful and difficult dynamics that come up about conflict that comes up, about addressing accountability, and how much of state repression is able to impact movements by fracturing us along pre-existing tensions that we aren't able to work through. So there's a lot of examples in that historically, of state targeting movements, basically, where there was already distrust that was unable to be resolved, and fracturing movements by encouraging people to distrust each other because they weren't able to work through conflict. Margaret 12:25 So you're basically talks about how the way that the state will essentially, like, bad-jacket or fed-jacket people, like, in order to sow distrust. Like basically, like, pick apart, like, so-and-so is unpopular, or maybe so-and-so actually caused harm, right? Like, so-and-so abuse someone or assaulted someone or is, you know, in accountability around it, or evading accountability around it, basically like sowing distrust about therefore, like, that person doing state work? Or what do you what do you mean by that? Philip 13:00 Yeah, I think that is one popular example. We can definitely talk about that—about both how the state uses false accusations, you know, maybe to break trust—but also how real continued harm, real accusations, are then downplayed when we're existing in this like defensive, reactive space of being, "Oh, well, if, you know, we're going to be talking about these things then it's obviously a bad-jacketing." And so our movements are put in between a rock and a hard place because of just the widespread norm that exists of not being able to address the conflict when it comes up. But another way that that also happens is just how not only direct state intervention can fracture movements, but even the perception of state intervention, the fear and paranoia that gets spread through knowing that we're surveilled, through knowing that there's all these historical examples of actual state harm and us imagining then that we are being actively targeted at that time and us fracturing under that stress, even when there's not active state repression happening to our specific movements. And so it ends up that we almost start policing and repressing ourselves. And we're doing the state's work for it. Margaret 14:20 I guess, like, one of the things that I think about this is I try to use history and awareness of that connection to actually—hm, how to I want to say this? It's like, I assume everyone's a cop and that makes me not paranoid. And I feel like there's a right way and a wrong way to do this. But for me, and the security culture that I practice—and this might be wildly unpopular—I just I assume that a decent portion of the people that I'm friends with and am close with, so possibly people I've been known and working with for decades, might be state agents. Or I've certainly had a lot of friends, a lot of people very close to me, become state agents, become informants in different cases. And because I'm able to do that, it kind of doesn't break my trust. Because I know that I'm, like, firewalling, all the information that I'm putting out there, right? I'm thinking about what I say to whom and because of that, you know, when someone turns out to be a state agent, I'm like, "Well, okay, like, I didn't trust them anyway so I was careful about what I said to them." And, you know, and obviously, this can be done in a very bad way. But, I don't know, I find it really useful to study basically, like—like, we can look at the history of COINTELPRO and it can, like, you know, drive us into a lot of fear and a lot of, like, just looking over our shoulders constantly, right? Or we can look at it and be like, "Okay, this is the situation that we may or may not be in, and what are the right steps to take if that's the situation we're in." And I think, for me, I mostly watch this be much harder on people for whom it's a shock, for people who come in and are like, "Wow, we're all doing this wild shit together and this is so great." And then it turns out that you're all being surveilled, or, you know, two of you are cops or something like that. And it's kind of heartbreaking and causes more fear as compared to if you just enter it knowing that that's going to be the case. Philip 16:36 Absolutely, and I think you highlight two things there that feel really important to me in a security culture practice. So one is just having those proactive boundaries and that discretion, and just making that part of your everyday life—part of your way of relating with people and not this whole other mindset that you're adopting just in moments of direct action. Basically assuming, like, I just don't want to publicly share anything that I don't want read back to me at a grand jury hearing. Margaret 17:10 Right. Philip 17:12 I think another thing that is really important with what you just said is how important learning from history and looking at the concrete and well-documented examples of state repression that we can learn from prepares us to be able to be more resilient. And that that is an actually really important part of being able to evaluate risk and being able to care for ourselves and being able to know what's coming down the line. And that that should be something that we're constantly doing. And it's a lot of work but I think that's one of the things that I've been really excited by, it's just thinking about all these different resources and tracking the terrain of state repression and being able to then sort of stay ahead of the ball as best we can with thinking about what sort of terrain we have to be working in, and the actual tools and maneuverability that the state has, or that right-wing groups have to be interfacing with us. You know, it feels—not to minimize the very real risks that many people are experiencing by confronting white supremacy and capitalism and state violence.—but thinking about this on a little bit more exploded of a level, it feels like we're, you know, kind of playing this like big elaborate board game. And that state repression isn't functioning in the way of just pure unbridled force being exacted on any sort of social movement. There are absolutely moments of that. You know, we have seen assassinations, we have seen brutalization, there are many historical examples, you know, bombs were dropped on the MOVE collective in Philadelphia, police assassinated Fred Hampton of the Black Panthers while he slept in his bed. There are big examples of that. But by and large, at least as far as, you know, the material that is publicly available to reflect from, the way that state repression happens is more by controlling dissent through these sort of like light touches, by erecting the container that social movements and public opinion exist in, and trying to have that subtle touch, you know, that sort of negotiated management or that controlled management, similar to a lot of ways of how street protests are handled by police. Now, instead of it just being an outright brutality, it's more of negotiating with movement leaders, shutting the terrain, and if we're able to track that and we're able to keep a good tab on where public opinion is at, keep a good tab on what sort of restraints the state has for interacting with us for not trying to move public opinion towards supporting popular movements, you know, we're able to then track the sort of tools that we have available to be able to challenge these systems and have a little more strategy, a little more creativity, you know, thinking outside of the box and really engaging with this in a very adaptive and flexible and, like, spontaneous way. And I think that's one of the greatest strengths of decentralized movements is being able to be really flexible and responsive in a way that the state and other authoritarian or hierarchically-organized systems aren't able to keep up with. Margaret 20:25 To keep asking you kind of the same question over and over again, but can you give examples of that? Like, what is it about decentralization that gives us that kind of advantage, like, or what are some examples of people using that advantage? Philip 20:40 So I mean, one great example is just looking at the trove of documents that gets produced through surveillance of movements, and realizing how little these different analysts and intelligence agencies actually understand about social movements and about organizing. And so one example of that is specifically, there was a great series published by The Intercept after Standing Rock about this intelligence agency, Tiger Swan, and all the surveillance that they did on the Standing Rock movement. And this is an enormous cache of documents. You know, the state spent millions of dollars surveilling and compiling networks and trying to understand how these movements were working on the ground to be able to contain them and neutralize them. And yet, at the same time, the state just didn't seem to fundamentally understand how it was possible that such a large movement wasn't operating along, like, traditional military structuring. They were naming people who were, you know, a media spokesperson, or someone who had a popular Instagram feed who was documenting a lot of it, as the leader of the movement or as supplying arms, when that was so clearly not the case to anyone who was able to participate on the ground. And so that smokescreen of the state not understanding the organic flows of movements or how it's possible for things to exist in a [inaudible] fashion, it creates this haze that allows us to kind of keep, you know, the specifics of how we're relating with each other protected from that surveillance and allows us to remain safe. Margaret 22:23 Yeah, I had a—Go ahead. Philip 22:25 I mean, the counterpoint to that is just when states—when militaries are engaging with traditionally organized enemies, you know, whatever might be a centrally-commanded military unit, it's really easy to, you know, be able to identify the central command and eliminate it. Versus, you know, states, armies, militaries engaging with irregular guerrilla warfare is a very difficult situation to be able to differentiate between combatants and non-combatants. And, you know, I really love to point at the example of the United States military losing to the Vietcong, you know, the greatest military empire power on the planet losing to some communist guerrillas in the jungle who, you know, were able to operate in a way that this empire was just not able to respond. Margaret 23:21 Yeah, so that's like, one of the things I like about security culture is it helps create that smokescreen because—and I like the way that phrasing it as a smokescreen—where they have a hard time seeing what a decentralized movement is doing. And a lot of times we don't understand what a decentralized movement is doing. It's like, I feel like whenever I'm engaged in a very chaotic and organic situation, I spend about half my time just trying to figure out what's going on, right? And—in order to understand what's happening so I can figure out how to best engage with it. But on the other hand, I like how a security culture—it's like, I don't know which of my friends are up to things besides what they talk about. And I don't need to know and it also it helps—it helps to minimize—I mean, like, you brought up earlier about the like social clout and, like, I think one of the things that destroys movements is social capitalism, is the idea of, like, everyone's trying to gain clout, everyone's trying to, you know, I mean, to say it cynically, you know, like, have the coolest podcast and get everyone to support your Patreon or whatever the fuck, right? But—and even if you're trying to do that for the best of reasons, even if you're trying to do that in order to like, you know, get out good ideas or whatever, social capital ends up playing a lot into it and social capital games are really dangerous. and way more than like being a cool podcaster or whatever, being a cool militant is like—to the people who know—that's like extra cool. And you get way too much say and what's going on if everyone like is, like, "Oh, yeah, like, she's doing all this like crazy shit," right? And it's kind of this thing, it's like a little bit hard, but you kind of like learn to just accept like, "Oh, alright, well, like I'm a secret badass and no one knows." Well like, not me, but like, you know, maybe when I was younger, I don't know. But like, I don't know—you talk about the smokescreen thing, it's just like, I literally don't know who's up to no good, you know, and that's great. It feels really good. I'm like, I literally can't snitch because I have no fucking clue. One of the things that you were talking about earlier, or that we were talking about earlier, that I feel like is worth breaking down for people who are, you know—I mean, obviously, this podcast is about preparedness, right? And I believe that revolt is an important part of preparedness. But people might not necessarily know what we're talking about when we talk about, like, snitch-jacketing, fed-jacketing, bad-jacketing, you know, which are like, slang terms or terms that we've come up with because this just happens over and over and over again and we want ways to be able to identify it quickly. But what the fuck did those mean? Are you able to break that down? Philip 26:05 Sure. Yeah. Um, let me first—first, like, explicitly name some of the tools of state repression. I think that might be a helpful thing. Margaret 26:14 Yeah. Explicit stuff. Philip 26:15 So in my like conceptualization, ultimately, we have to recognize that challenging and unjust power system, that power system has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. So as we're challenging white supremacy, capitalism, militarism, you know, we are putting ourselves in a position where those systems are going to want to then minimize our ability to change them. And we get our power through working together collectively. And so I kind of see that fundamental tool of state repression has been isolation. A quote that I always go to of how clear that is from J. Edgar Hoover, who was the director of the FBI during the counterintelligence program against the Black Panthers, where his main objective—he, you know, writes that it's to expose, to disrupt, misdirect, discredit, and otherwise neutralize the activities of these black nationalist organizations. So there's a really intentional, conscious push from these state actors to isolate us and to neutralize us. And the ways that they do that historically has been through surveillance, both to gather information, but also as a sort of intimidation, you know, show of power through arrest, whether that's legitimate or illegitimate, through grand juries and legal intimidation, through smear campaigns in the media and discrediting movements, or, you know, saying these protesters are bad because they engage in these types of tactics, through disinformation and spreading paranoia within movements, promoting infighting, blackmail, infiltration, entrapment, threats, and you know, again, all the way up to police brutality and outright assassinations. But so a big way has been by planting informants, by planting undercover agents and those undercover agents either provoking people into committing acts of the state is then enabled us as justification for repression—so we've seen that with the RNC, the Republican National Convention, where an undercover agent encouraged two people to try to use Molotov cocktails and then that resulted in them getting arrested and facing lengthy prison sentences through federal court. But undercovers and informants also can be there to just spread misinformation to break trust, to disrupt group dynamics. And that's just been a really clear way that popular movements have been repressed historically. And so I think that's a reason that it's really easy for us now, as we're worried about security, to say, "Oh, there must be an informant," or like, "Oh, I know that this has happened in the past and so I'm extra aware of this possibility." And one of the outcomes of that is that people who are suspected of being involved in movements with bad intentions can be labeled as an informant, or as a snitch. And so that's basically snitch-jacketing is when you say, "I think this person is working for the police or is providing information," without having clear evidence. And this is something that's really personal to me because I, you know, I've learned a lot of my security practices through trial and error, and there's been error and I've messed up and I've hurt friends and I've hurt movements that have been a part of through dynamics just like this. And I think that's, you know, something I want to hold a lot of humility and hold a lot of accountability for is that I'm saying all these things, but these aren't easy things to implement. Margaret 30:05 Yeah. Philip 30:05 You know, the response to snitch-jacketing, or the response to thinking that someone might be a snitch, isn't to snitch-jacket, but to confront them directly with your concerns and be able to establish, you know, some way of trying to work through that conflict. Being able to address other people with your concerns, with your direct concerns, not things that you're assuming or projecting, and, you know, being able to name things directly, as they are. So saying, "Oh, I am skeptical of this person, because they are sketching me out by taking photos in times that I think are really inappropriate," or "Because they're always asking questions that kind of seem to be digging at trying to expose illegal activities," or "I'm not really sure if they are who they say they are because they're never telling me any information about where they're from or what they do." Margaret 31:01 Right. Philip 31:02 And so, therefore, this person clearly must be working for the FBI and is here as a plant to disrupt our movement. Therefore, this person is a snitch, and I mean, yes, sure, that has happened historically. But in my appraisal, labeling someone is a snitch does probably just as much if not more damage than just name—than that person actually being a snitch. Because it's all of a sudden creating a huge atmosphere of distrust. Margaret 31:29 Right. Philip 31:29 It's creating paranoia. It's exposing huge divisions within the movement. And so even if that person isn't a snitch, by labeling them as a snitch, you've essentially just done the state's work for them of spreading distrust and isolation within movement, Margaret 31:45 Which is cool because then you can say, "Oh, that person's snitch-jacketing people, they must be a fed." You know, because if you're doing the state's work... Obviously don't do that. And that's called "fed-jacketing." The idea of saying instead of—it's the same fucking concept. It's like, you know, someone's probably a fed instead of— Philip 32:04 Yeah. Margaret 32:05 Yeah, one of the ways that I've always heard people talk about it that I've always appreciated is just: judge people by their behavior, not whether or not, like, they're a cop. Like, so rather than assuming, "I think that person's a cop," just be like, "This person is doing something that is making us all less safe." So address that, you know. Address the fact that this person is taking pictures at inappropriate times. Address your distrust of someone, right" But not by saying, like, "I think they're a cop," unless you have hard fucking evidence that they're a cop, you know? Philip 32:41 Yeah, I really go back time and time again, in thinking about security culture, and seeing really clear intersections between security culture and harm reduction, and transformative justice and conflict resolution. You know, I think, in our society, we aren't given a lot of tools for working through conflict and that is especially aggravated by being in this very intense atmosphere that a lot of activists are existing under. But if we were able to—proactively, before engaging in movement work together, as much as possible—generate, what those norms are and what our shared agreements for how we're sharing space with each other are, then we're able to set the container. And then when someone steps over those boundaries, we're able to hold them accountable more directly. And that's ultimately what security culture is, you know, it's culture as a set of shared practices that are embodied, that we're using all the time. And I think it's really important, again, to just make that explicit. And I know that's not always possible, because sometimes we're working with people that we just met. But as much as we're able to, I really like to think about what it would look like if we were able to generate explicit norms and boundaries with each other, and then be able to hold each other to that and say, "Hey, you're making me uncomfortable right now because I told you earlier that I wasn't interested in talking about my historical involvement in that movement, and you're asking me a lot of questions about it. And so I'm just going to ask that you stop asking me those questions." Margaret 34:20 Yeah. Philip 34:21 Instead of saying, "Oh, well, this person is now a snitch." Margaret 34:23 Right. Philip 34:24 But that level of direct communication is challenging, and it's really challenging especially when we're all working in adrenalized frontline environments, or when we haven't gotten a lot of sleep and we're just existing up coffee and cigarettes. And it really speaks to me of just how much there needs to be this intentional push of like building in, like, a feminist ethic of care and of group cohesion and saying, like, we are going to work through this together. Margaret 34:56 One of the things when you talk about holding people accountable to these new social norms that we create, this sort of brings up kind of the dark side of security culture, which is cliquishness. And, well, it's tto things: when I think of the downsides of security culture—I'm clearly a proponent of security culture, I'm trying to do an episode on it. But when I think of the things that we need to be aware of as we attempt to implement it, the two biggest downsides that I think about is creating cliquish, closed off social circles and basically making, you know, obviously, we would never want to be called a Vanguard, but you know, a revolutionary clique. And also, basically making ourselves ineffective. Those are the two biggest concerns that I have. And one of the things that I would say about it is that, like, if we hold people—and it's, actually what you're talking about is great for this, because you talk about, like, trying to set these social norms explicitly, instead of just having them be implicit, right? Because when we hold people accountable to social norms that they don't know about, like, that's not a good way to build a movement, you know? If people that come in and they act in ways that are totally normal for them and, like, you know, their culture, which isn't, like, cool kid anarchy or whatever the fuck, it's really quick—it's really easy if we take these—if we—if these social norms and if these boundaries are so important to us, and, you know, many of them should be very important to us. But if we see them as, like, something that of course people should just know and respect, then we just kick everyone out and get fucking nowhere. Philip 36:41 Yeah, that is a really important thing to bring up. And, I think especially talking about security as this adaptive changing field, the practices we have in the way that we approach this work needs to change as the moment that we're organizing in changes. And I personally learned a lot of my security culture norms and practices through the lens of an anarchist punk subculture, specifically through the lens of frontline forest defense and other land defense campaigns. And the sort of tools and cultural norms that came out of that are ones that evolved really to protect people who were working in small groups or by themselves, engaging in very risky actions—you know, generally like under the cover of night, so to speak—and so it did lead to a set of practices that had a inherent cliquiness to them. I think we're in a really different historical moment right now. I think we're in a moment where mass unrest has spread all across the country in a way that I think is pretty historically unprecedented within the United States. And our security culture norms should change to reflect this mass moment we're in. So it's no longer the same situation as it was in the late 90s or early 2000s during the Green Scare. And one of the most important things that our movement can and needs to be doing during this time is being accessible to people who are newly becoming politically active, who don't have those sub cultural norms, and are coming into movement spaces for maybe the first time and are excited to be part of this huge uprising. Margaret 38:33 Yeah. Philip 38:34 And so something I've experienced a lot of the time is, just as much as there's that social clout of, you know, being the badass militant, I think there's also social clout of being the super secure militant. Margaret 38:47 Oh, yeah, totally. Philip 38:48 Who doesn't answer any questions and it's super dodgy and you don't know anything about them. And that's, I think, a really alienating experience for people who are just coming to movements for the first time without having that sort of background, and it's almost as much of a risk as the state repression itself for isolating our movements. You know, we're not existing solely in a static confrontation with state repression. But the terrain is changing a lot. And so we need to be evaluating what the different risks of our actions are. And if the risk of state repression because our security culture is too weak is lower than the risk of isolation because our security culture is too strong, then we need to be changing our security culture. Margaret 39:42 Yeah. Yeah, I um, you know, the less directly involved I am in the streets, the more I read history-which is sort of a classic getting older move, which I'm not super proud of, but whatever-and one of the things that I'm like learning more and more as I read through different revolutionary history is that, like, sometimes the only way to be safest is fucking win. Like, and there's the quote, shit. German person... I don't even remember what revolution it was from, it was like before the 1848 stuff, but it was—this revolutionist has a quote, 'Those who make half a revolution dig their own grave." And, you know, and that person watched their friends die in jail, right? And, like, because if we—if we go half way we're just gonna fucking lose and—or die or, you know, whatever. Like if, I don't know, I think about it a lot like this—in the current moment, like to just be like really concrete and to not—I am not giving advice at all. Like, I just I literally don't know what the best thing to do is, but I think we need to have a conversation about it—is that like, okay, so on one level, taking pictures of burning cop cars is a really good way to get someone sent to prison, right? Especially if you take pictures of people who are setting cop cars on fire, which I think you just shouldn't fucking do. But if it weren't— Philip 41:19 Absolutely. For all listeners, don't take photos of people doing illegal activity. Margaret 41:24 But it's also the pictures of cop cars on fire that are causing the revolt to spread, right? And a movement that says, "No journalists," or you know, certainly, like no, no—and I am not trying to fucking weigh in on this. I am way too armchair on this particular uprising because I live somewhere where it's not particularly conflictual. But it's not as simple as like, just like, no one ever take pictures of any of this, ever. No one talks about what's happening, ever. Because if people don't know that this shit is happening, no one's going to get inspired. And for me, that is always, that has always worked out to mean, take a picture of, like, the broken window rather than the person breaking the window, you know? There's like, Philip 42:19 Yeah. Margaret 42:22 But it's... Philip 42:24 Which is aa security culture tool right there of, your recognizing the different risks inherent in each activity, the risk of someone getting legally implicated through a photo, or the risk of your movement getting drowned out in the media cycle because there isn't popular media representing what we're doing. Margaret 42:45 Yeah. Philip 42:45 And then specifically, you're talking about our intentional ability to choose how to navigate those risks, and doing something that gives us the benefit of having our own popular media, of being able to build the movement while doing our best to protect people from the like actual legal evidence of, "Oh, here is this photo of you doing such and such action." Margaret 43:07 Yeah. Philip 43:07 And again, it's hard to know specifically what kind of photos might lead to incriminating evidence, hypothetically, but we can make educated guesses. And really, it is all about risk management and knowing the risks and it's not a one-sided risk. It's not, there's just the risk of state repression. You're absolutely right, that the risk of isolation and of getting swept under the rug is going to be a huge thing. And I, you know, again, it feels difficult to try to talk about this in an hour-long podcast because it feels like so many very large, important intersections between security culture and all these other fields that you could, you know, have an entire 'nother interview about. But I think one important one is movement strategy. And, you know, so being another armchair philosopher with you here. Looking at the historical moment of Biden about to enter the White House, you know, for the last four years, there's been this coalition of middle class liberals aligning themselves more actively with antifascist and radical left movements because there's been this clear enemy in the eyes of a Trump presidency. And I think historically we can see that once there's a return to quote/unquote "normalcy," you know, to attempt to reestablish the neoliberal order, there's going to be a move by the Democratic Party, by the centrists and the liberals, to separate themselves from the radical anarchists, the radical left, the militant component that has been supporting their return to power in some ways by being positioned against Trump. And I think it's really important to think about what that means for us practicing security at this time, of trying to weigh the pros and the risks of maintaining that relationship. And trying to use this as a time to continue to build power and not sort of go back to the edges of the social sphere because there's a Democrat process. Again, I'm not providing any concrete recommendations, but I think we should think about the implications of our actions. And, you know, one big place of this is thinking about how, in different contexts, militant actions can be really inspiring, or they can be really alienating for the rest of the population. And there are times that militant action can totally fractionalize and destroy a movement. And, potentially, this could be one of those times. You know, again, I'm not trying to say that people should or shouldn't do anything, but I think we should think about the coalition that has been being built for the last four years and how we can try to use this time to strengthen it and try to build more collective power with people who are shifting further and further to the left from the centrist position, instead of holing up in our militancy, in our purity of our anarchist movement, because that is going to leave us high and dry to fascists and then to state repression. And so it's going to be a good cop/bad cop of the liberals and the fascists against us. Margaret 46:20 When you talk about, like, there are times when militant action will inspire people and their time where it'll divide people, I think about, like, people often make one claim or the other, you know? They'll say like, "Oh, violence alienates people," or, "Fighting the police alienates people." And it's like, first of all, it's like, yeah, probably alienates certain people but there's other people who certainly are like, "Oh, these people are, like, actually fucking about it and they're willing to, like, defend themselves and each other." And that's really inspiring, right? It's gonna be different with different people. But I think about it when I, like—just talk about survival bullshit that I think about way too often—when I'm building a fire in a precarious situation and you, know, building a campfire in a precarious situation, there are times when if you blow on the fire, it goes out. And, but also, if you never blow on the fire, you'll never have a fire and it'll go out. And, you know, that's the main metaphor that I think of when I think of that shit. When—you just have to know the right moments. You have to know the right moments, both like sort of on a tactical level of like reading the crowd around you, and also on a strategic level. I personally think that the main way to not go back to the margins is to, like, not be fucking shy about what we believe in, and that it's a reasonable thing to believe. Philip 47:44 Yeah. Margaret 47:45 And to like— Philip 47:46 Absolutely. Margaret 47:47 —avoid cliquishness. And it even gets into some of the security culture stuff you're talking about arlier. I was thinking about it where it was like—like, I have these like fucking Nazis. Hey Nazis listening to this show. Hello. And I'm just so impressed with the fact that people might hate listen to a podcast. And you know, and like one of the things that like Nazis always try and do when they doxx people or whatever is their like, they're gonna, like, tell people, right? They're gonna be like—and like, you can't fucking call my family and be like, "Did you know your daughter's an anarchist?" You know? You can't even call the local cops and be like, "Did you know Margaret Killjoy is an anarchist?" Right? And I'm in a different position than most people, right, because I intentionally do a lot of public facing work. But still on like an interpersonal level, just fucking be about what you're about and don't be ashamed of being about what you're about without shaming other people for being about what they're about. And that's how you find common ground. And that's how you, like, one of my goals is I want people to be like—like, I know, people who don't shit on the anarchists when all this stuff started because they, like, know some good anarchists who are nice to them. Philip 48:54 Yeah. Margaret 48:55 And so a lot of people want to hide the fact that they're anarchists or whatever other given, like, radical leftist position. And sometimes that's necessary from a security point of view. But you brought it up earlier when you were talking about how there's certain things you do have to keep hush hush, right? Like, like, no one should specifically know, like—actually, it's funny. I just like basically don't commit crime. But no one should specifically know I, like, you know, graffiti-ed to building in 2002—which I actually didn't do. But, like, they don't need to know that. Right? But I'm gonna be like, "Yeah, I was involved in anti war movement in 2002," or whatever the fuck to date myself, you know. And like, it's useful, and I don't know. It's just stuff I think about way too much. And the other part of it that you were talking about that I want to bring up is that when I first got into anarchism my friend was, like, "Oh, anarchists, you're the berserkers of the peace movement." And I was like, "What?" And he was like, "Yeah, when they need people to go run at the front and die, that's you." And he was talking shit. But more and more I see that like radicals have a high risk tolerance, right? And anti-authoritarians in particular have often been willing to build coalitions with people and willing to put ourselves at risk for broader movement goals with people who turn around and, like, turn their backs on us and let us go to jail or whatever. And I don't think that means that we shouldn't be risk tolerant. I don't think that it means, like, in some ways this is our advantage. But we do have to learn how to not be useful idiots. I don't know. Philip 50:47 Yeah, and especially right now as there's a nationwide conversation about defunding and abolishing the police, it feels like such an important time to be putting these anarchist perspectives forward in a way that's actually contributing to people within the broader community being able to see us publicly and proudly, showing that we can live our values in this way. And it also, I think, is worth noting that different people have different stakes, whether that's based on social location, or the activities were involved in, the types of projects we're doing. But, personally speaking, as a white person, you know, I've got different social privileges and resources that I'm able to use. And so being able to mobilize a lot of the social capital I have and then add that with a layer of saying, "Oh, and actually I do fully believe that we should abolish the police and abolish prisons and implement transformative justice frameworks." Doing that doesn't really pose much of a risk to me. And it makes this entire project a lot more legible. And I do feel like there's been a big concern I've seen in a lot of anarchist communities about being authentic with our politics. You know, there's sort of been an emphasis that I've experienced of people, maybe downplaying their politics and trying to more just live their politics directly through the actions they do. And that's important. Of course that's important. But I do think that we're in a very different moment right now. And you're right that I think it's a bit of a sink or swim time. Margaret 52:24 Yeah. Yeah, I think that we even see this—like, to take anarchism out of it for a second—like Antifa Or, you know, antifascism. Like, they really tried to Red Scare that shit really fucking hard in the past couple years. And it clearly worked for a large minority of the population, right? Antifa is like, code for terrorists to a huge chunk of the population, but only a minority of the population. And I think it's the reason is only a minority population is that so many people of all walks of life were just like, "What? Yeah, that's normal. It's totally normal to be against fascism." And like, watching Richard Spencer get punched and then having the whole world just be like, "Ya know, that tracks. I dunno. Punch white supremacists. That make sense to me," And so when we refuse to—when we when we're about what we're about, like, I think it fucking helps. Yeah. Philip 53:30 Yeah, absolutely. And, I mean, again, I want to just go back to security culture having risk management as one of its core goals and aims. And I come from a background of doing a lot of, like, large management-type projects, where I interact with all these sort of tools that get developed in like the business world or the nonprofit world for making decisions. It's actually a really helpful, like, resource bin to go and get stuff from. And one of those tools is a risk matrix. So it's basically a graph where you have likelihood of something happening on one side, and then severity if this thing did happen or, you know, negative impact if this thing did happen. And then you can kind of plot different scenarios on their, on how likely they are to happen versus the negative impact. So the likelihood of the problem versus the severity of the problem helps us make decisions about how to approach all those problems. So like one thing would be driving is something that we do every day, it happens very frequently, and the possibility of you getting into a car crash would have really high, you know, potentially lethal consequences. And so as a result, car companies put all of this energy into safety mechanisms and airbags and all that. So thinking about this in security context situation, by actually quantifying, by explicitly naming the different potential outcomes of the work we're doing and the risks associated with them, I think it helps us visualize it more. And so the risk of us being authentic about our politics, and of then experiencing state repression, seems like a very high impact risk. And so we are risk adverse to that, or I historically have been risk adverse to being authentic about my politics. But the much higher likelihood—although lower risk—much higher likelihood outcome, is that being isolated, and not being able to build our movements has resulted in anarchism being socially isolated historically and, you know, of neoliberalism or centrist regimes being able to just marginalize them invisiblize these groups. And I know that these are things that we've already been talking about, but I think that that same sort of risk matrix can help us similarly with maybe smaller decisions. If we're making a decision about what types of actions we feel comfortable personally engaging in during a campaign, you know, we can think about, okay, these are the different frameworks that we have for what capacity the local police have, the amount of surveillance that we feel we're being under, the likelihood of this action succeeding, and actually being able to graph all these things can help us make informed decisions in a way that just thinking about or just talking about it, sometimes you can get lost. Margaret 56:50 Yeah. Philip 56:53 Another tool that I really appreciate using a little bit is kind of on that same note, it's the spectrum of risk. I think it came from CrimethInc, but it talks about different vulnerabilities of actions to state repression. Or like different levels of, like, illicit-ness of actions. So, you know, from the most mainstream and acceptable of a permitted march to, you know, the most nefarious, evil, militant anarchist thing you can imagine, and a whole spectrum in between them. And then for those different actions or activities, there's a different accompanying level of security discretion that we can use where with the mainstream march, you want to be as public as possible about it, because your objective is to get the message out, to get people out to make a big strong showing. Whereas with the evil, nefarious nighttime plot, you don't want any public attention on it whatsoever until it's completed. Margaret 57:56 Right. Philip 57:56 Theoretically, you know, whatever the objectives are. And again, a whole spectrum in the middle. And so, especially at this time, is showing us the strength of popular movements getting hundreds of 1000s of people out in the street, I do think that we're leaning maybe more towards the wanting to be public side of things. And if we're using security tools, if we're using discretion that limits the reach, then we're actually inflicting harm upon ourselves by being overly cautious. And so we are then engaging in, again, the isolation that counterintelligence is trying to inflict on us the whole time. Margaret 58:37 Yeah, and then—sorry, it's like every—I'm thinking about all this shit wile are you talking about this stuff. I was gonna make a joke earlier while you were talking about how, like, what, no, we shouldn't just make decisions about what crimes to commit based on peer pressure. And then I kind of, like, get lost in this rabbit hole, where I'm thinking about how like so much of our movement historically bases its decisions on what crimes to commit, basically, by peer pressure, which you could also call social capital, or whatever, you know. And I was thinking about in the context of, like, you know, you and I addressing the fact that like, "Hey, anyone listening to this, like, don't fucking take our word for it." Like, I really like that the way that you're describing security culture is a set of tools that people can use to make their own decisions about what risks they want to do—they want to tolerate personally. And I actually think that a security culture tool might be basically, like, if you feel like you're being peer pressured into committing a crime, that's a huge red flag, right? Like, so many of the different infiltrations that have happened, you know—the FBI fucking loves infiltrating radical movements of different types, especially at the moment Islam, you know, like, what it considers, like, Islamic movements or whatever—and manufacturing criminals to then, you know, persecute, right? You know, there's been so many instances of a lot of the actions that people go down for were always the FBI idea in the first place. And one of the main tools, I think, that that happens through is social pressure. And basically, like, I'm now turning this into the ad of like, where like, the kid walks up and is like, "Come on, man, don't you wanna be cool and, like, do drugs or whatever?" Like, no do drugs only if you want to do drugs, and if you want to do drugs, that's fucking cool. If you want to commit crimes, like, you know, whatever, think about the ethics of your actions. Make your decisions based on ethics and risk, not based on crime. Crime just affects the risk part of it. And I don't know, yeah, just like fuckin—like way too often when I meet, like, younger radicals, I just kind of want to be like, "Look, like, I'm not saying be careful but, like, be a little bit careful. And like, don't jump off a bridge because your best friends that you met two months ago are doing it." You know? Philip 1:01:12 Yeah. And I think a healthy way of doing that is really cultivating a good self-awareness of what your skills and your experience and your acceptable level of involvement is with different kinds of activities and of what you are willing to participate in, you know, ahead of time as much as possible. And being really secure in that and not feeling peer pressure. And again, I think it's easiest and healthiest if we're able to do this in our movement of making that norm established from the get-go in a really clearly articulated way of we're respecting each other's boundaries over what they do or do not want to participate in. And we aren't going to encourage people to do things that they're not comfortable in. But also being able to know what feels right or what feels wrong, having that situational awareness of, "Oh, this feels off to me." And being able to trust our gut instinct, or at least—or at least listen to our gut instinct—at least, you know, give it the time to think about the impact. Because, you know, because—and I do want to again say that, um, you know, I've made poor decisions, solely listening to my gut instinct and not thinking about the other power dynamics that were at play. And that's a real thing, too. But situational awareness and tracking how a situation feels is a big way that our bodies intuitively know to manage risk. I mean, we're living creatures who have existed in a risky world. And we do have ways that we know how to move through that world and keep ourselves safe. And obviously, we're in a totally different context. But trying to tap in to our intuitions is a really helpful way. And I think, you know, again, that goes a lot back to people already practicing security culture on a regular basis, especially people who have experienced trauma or who are targeted by violence and brutality, having a heightened awareness of their surroundings and of the risks that they're being exposed to, and making decisions in a much more intentional and active way than someone who is not at all needing to think about those things because they come from a social location and a privileged background that has insulated them. Margaret 1:03:36 Could you—like basically saying that, like, if you're a rich kid, you're a lot more—you're a lot safer from—a rich kid, or white or, you know, have different sets of privileges, you're less at risk with the decisions that you're making is that...? Philip 1:03:52 Um, well, a little bit. I mean, I am saying, if you're a rich white kid, you should go commit crime. Margaret 1:03:56 [Laughing] Philip 1:03:59 I am saying that people who have experienced marginalization and brutality, you know, oftentimes will have more situational awareness and will have just like a more natural set of security practices that they're doing to keep themselves safe than someone who hasn't experienced those things. And so being able to cultivate that awareness of what we're interacting with, with who we're interacting with, with our read on the situation, if something feels out of place, if there's a car parked behind the march with unmarked license plates, that looks brand new, and it's got tinted windows, and "Oh, that seems out of place. I wonder if I should keep an eye on that because it's either an undercover cop or a right wing vigilante who's about to drive into the crowd." Margaret 1:04:49 Right. Philip 1:04:49 You know, that is security culture and cultivating that awareness of who we're interacting with and how we're interacting with and the different risks is an important tool to just integrate into our everyday practice. Margaret 1:05:05 No, I like tha. I like this idea that being, like, conscious—like as like a personal security culture technique or whatever—being conscious about what's happening and being conscious about your own choice in the decision or whatever... [Sighs] What am I trying to say? It's like, the people who do shit because they're swept up in it—it's okay to be swept up in what's happening sometimes, right? And I'm not trying to say like, never, like, go with the crowd. Because sometimes also, like going with the crowd'a literally the safest thing. Like, even if like—like, sometimes when all your friends are jumping off a bridge you should probably fucking jump off a bridge. Like, because if you chose your friends carefully—like sometimes I pick—I think about how I like pick my friends very carefully. And so therefore, sometimes I trust their judgment more than my own. And sometimes solidarity, like, requires that. But if you're doing shit just because you're swept up in it, especially a crowd of strangers, especially something you're new to. It's not as good of a scene. And also like the people who do that are like literally more likely to roll. Like, you know, some of the people that I've seen turn state's evidence after, you know, felony arrests or whatever are the people who were just, like, kind of in it for the social capital, they were in it as a social scene. They were, like, you know, like, "Oh, I guess all my friends are an anarchist so I'm an anarchist too," or whatever the fuck, you know? Which is a great way to start getting involved in radical politics is, like, pick cool friends. And, you know, they do cool shit, break the law, breaking the laws, cool. I think I'm allowed to?—I don't know, whatever. And, but the people who don't mean it, I don't trust them as much. And I worry about, like, expressing who I do and don't trust on this show because, like, I just don't trust anyone. But that works for me, but apparently it doesn't work for most people. So, but okay, to run with this paranoia thing for a minute: Like, one of the reasons I think that way is that, like, you know, when I first got involved in political activism or whatever, you know, I was involved in forest defense community in the Pacific Northwest. And I went to some of the last meetings of this particular forest defense crew. And they were just like, tree sitters and shit, right? It was like, it was illegalism but it's, like, above ground illegalism. Like people who sit in a tree are, like, "Hey, I fuckin sit in trees." You know? Like, that's like, one thing I'll like admit to, right? I've like sat in trees. And so it's not—they're not, like, the super sketchy arsonists or whatever running around at night. They're not the ELF. But they certainly were infiltrated as though they were. And I went to some of the last meetings of this organization because I joined it near the end of its time. And then during a FOIA request—a Freedom of Information Act request where you send off to the government and say, "Please give us information about this." Or maybe it was during court discovery, I can't remember which—it came out that, like, I think about 3 out of 8 or 9 people in that meeting were informants or cops of one style or another. And so it's just like, okay. 30% of the people in this movement

Sometimes we can claim we’re being persecuted, when I’m reality it’s not persecution at all. Following Jesus puts love at the centre of everything we do. When we love as Jesus does, and refuse to take a "side", we are risking being hated by both sides. The love of Jesus includes. There is no ​“them”.

Woe to you, destroyer,you who have not been destroyed!Woe to you, betrayer,you who have not been betrayed!When you stop destroying,you will be destroyed;when you stop betraying,you will be betrayed.Lord, be gracious to us;we long for you.Be our strength every morning,our salvation in time of distress.At the uproar of your army, the peoples flee;when you rise up, the nations scatter.Your plunder, O nations, is harvested as by young locusts;like a swarm of locusts people pounce on it.The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high;he will fill Zion with his justice and righteousness.He will be the sure foundation for your times,a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.Look, their brave men cry aloud in the streets;the envoys of peace weep bitterly.The highways are deserted,no travellers are on the roads.The treaty is broken,its witnesses are despised,no one is respected.The land dries up and wastes away,Lebanon is ashamed and withers;Sharon is like the Arabah,and Bashan and Carmel drop their leaves.‘Now will I arise,' says the Lord.‘Now will I be exalted;now will I be lifted up.You conceive chaff,you give birth to straw;your breath is a fire that consumes you.The peoples will be burned to ashes;like cut thorn-bushes they will be set ablaze.'You who are far away, hear what I have done;you who are near, acknowledge my power!The sinners in Zion are terrified;trembling grips the godless:‘Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?'Those who walk righteouslyand speak what is right,who reject gain from extortionand keep their hands from accepting bribes,who stop their ears against plots of murderand shut their eyes against contemplating evil –they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,whose refuge will be the mountain fortress.Their bread will be supplied,and water will not fail them.Your eyes will see the king in his beautyand view a land that stretches afar.In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:‘Where is that chief officer?Where is the one who took the revenue?Where is the officer in charge of the towers?'You will see those arrogant people no more,people whose speech is obscure,whose language is strange and incomprehensible.Look on Zion, the city of our festivals;your eyes will see Jerusalem,a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;its stakes will never be pulled up,nor any of its ropes broken.There the Lord will be our Mighty One.It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.No galley with oars will ride them,no mighty ship will sail them.For the Lord is our judge,the Lord is our lawgiver,the Lord is our king;it is he who will save us.Your rigging hangs loose:the mast is not held secure,the sail is not spread.Then an abundance of spoils will be dividedand even the lame will carry off plunder.No one living in Zion will say, ‘I am ill';and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.New International Version - UK (NIVUK)Holy Bible, New International Version® Anglicized, NIV® Copyright © 1979, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® Used by permission.

'Those days of old sweat equity are gone. It's not about that. It's about working smarter, working hard when it is deemed and then going out and playing in the sandbox and getting dirty and having some fun.' ~ James Gardiner Kicking off season 2 of Rebel Radio is repeat guest, James Gardiner as we discuss sweat equity, a new way of doing business and the secrets to success in a rapidly changing world.

Things are not ok. Families are separated, the poor are continuing to be oppressed, and the earth is groaning. But Jesus says ​“blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness”. This can also mean ​“justice”. The Kingdom is a mix between the ​“already” and the ​“not yet”. In this instance, the ​“not yet” is the fact that things are not as they should be. But, the promise is that those who hunger for things to be made right, will be satisfied.

In our fast-moving society, it’s possible we have lost the art of grief and lamenting. Maybe it’s even seen as a lack of faith. In Isaiah 61, the people mourn because they’ve been exiled from all that they’ve known and loved. Jesus echoes the words of Isaiah — that there is comfort for those who mourn.

Democrat convention showcases lineup of JOKERS & THIEVES. The Duran Quick Take: Episode 639. Via The Daily Mail UK (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8642045/Stephen-Colbert-leads-outrage-against-Bill-Clintons-DNC-speech-lectured-Trump-behavior.html)... Stephen Colbert has mocked the Democrats for featuring Bill Clinton discussing the importance of the Oval Office and lecturing President Donald Trump about his behavior. Colbert, in his nightly riff off the two-hour convention, joked that Clinton's expression was of shock - 'seen here finding out Ghislaine Maxwell was just arrested,' he joked. 'The former president let Trump have it,' Colbert said, cutting to show a clip of Clinton stating that the Oval Office 'should be a command center.' 'Instead, it is a storm center,' Clinton said in his speech. Colbert commented: 'Alright, that's true, that's a good point. 'But I don't think Bill Clinton gets to lecture anyone on what should happen in the Oval Office.

The origins of the word hypocrite are very interesting. Today the word is often used within a moral or religious setting. We've all heard someone say, 'Those people are all a bunch of hypocrites, and I don't want to have anything to do with them.' In fact Jesus accused religious leaders of his day of being hypocrites.

His Grace shares with us words from St. Dorotheos of Gaza and St. Macarius of Egypt about seeking guidance. St. Dorotheos of Gaza said: "In the Book of Proverbs it says, 'Those who have no guidance fall like leaves but there is safety in much counsel.'Take a good look at this saying, brothers. Look at what Scripture is teaching us. It assures us that we should not set ourselves up as guide posts, that we should not consider ourselves sagacious, that we should not believe we can direct ourselves. We need assistance, we need guidance in addition to God's grace. No one is more wretched, no one is more easily caught unawares, than a man who has no one to guide him along the road to God. It says, 'Those who have no guidance fall like leaves'. Leaves are always green in the beginning, they grow vigorously and are pleasing to look at. Then after a short time they dry up and fall off, and in the end they are blown about by the wind and trodden under foot. So is the man who is not guided by someone. At first he has great fervor about fasting, keeping vigil, keeping silence, and obedience and other good customs. Then after a short time the fire is extinguished and, not having anyone to guide him and strengthen him and kindle his fire again, he shrivels up and so, becoming disobedient, he falls and finally becomes a tool in the hand of his enemies, who do what they like with him." St. Macarius of Egypt said: "When Abba Macarius dwelt in the great desert, he was the only one living as an anchorite, but lower down there was another desert where several brothers dwelt. The old man was surveying the road when he saw Satan drawing near in the likeness of a man and he passed by his dwelling...The old man said to him, 'Where are you off to? 'He said, 'I am going to stir up the memories of the brethren.’..With these words he departed...The old man said, 'Ah, you did not find any friends down there?’ He replied, 'Yes, I have a monk who is a friend down there. He at least obeys me and when he sees me he changes like the wind.’ The old man asked him the name of this monk. 'Theopemtus,’ he replied. With these words he went away. Then Abba Macarius got up and went to the desert below his own...he inquired which was the one on the mountain called Theopemptus, and when he had found out he went to his cell. Theopemptus received him with joy. When he was alone with him the old man asked him, 'How are you getting on?’ Theopemptus replied, 'Thanks to your prayers, all goes well.’ The old man asked: 'Do not your thoughts war against you?’ He replied: 'Up to now, it is all right,’ for he was afraid to admit anything. The old man said to him, 'See how many years I have lived as an ascetic, and am praised by all, and though I am old, the spirit of fornication troubles me.’ Theopemptus said, 'Believe me, Abba, it is the same with me.’ The old man went on admitting that other thoughts still warred against him, until he had brought him to admit them about himself... He was watching the road once more when he saw the devil, to whom he said, 'Where are you going this time?’ He replied, 'To arouse the memories of the brothers,’ and he went away. When he came back the saint asked him, 'How are the brothers? 'He replied that it had gone badly. The old man asked him why. He replied, 'They are all obdurate, and the worst is the one friend I had who used to obey me. I do not know what has changed him, but not only does he not obey me anymore, but he has become the most obdurate of them all. So I have promised myself not to go down there again at least not for a long time from now.’ When he had said this, he went away leaving the old man, and the saint returned to his cell."

"THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST HAVE …" April 4 Today the last 2 chapters of Paul’s letter to the Galatians illustrate the sharp contrast between those who put all the emphasis in their living - to observe the Law of Moses and practice circumcision – in contrast to belonging to Christ for “in Christ Jesus”, writes Paul, “neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.” [5 v.6] Most of us are not affected by those who advocate keeping the law and circumcision today. But there are there are those who believe it is vital as to which day you come together to worship. In writing to the Colossians Paul advised: “ …. Let no one pass judgement on you in questions of food or drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.” [2 v.16] Our salvation does not depend on us observing rules or days – other than the simplicity – and wonder – of remembering that Christ died for us.. Baptised believers are to meet in remembrance of his death in the way Jesus instituted just before his death. They prayerfully meet to partake of bread and wine (Luke 22 v.14-20) as “the new covenant in my blood” replacing the old covenant under the law of Moses. There is no command as to which day of the week this was to be observed. But initially, after the dramatic events on the day of Pentecost, with about 3,000 being baptised, they met “day by day … breaking bread in their homes” [Acts 2 v.41,46]. Acts 20 v.7 tells us that they met to break bread on “the first day of the week” – but there is no command about this. Paul told the Galatians, be “led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” [5 v18]“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” [v.22-23] Now, to produce good fruit on a tree, much pruning, tending, watering, and protection from predators is needed, varying according to the environment. There is a parallel picture to this in the spiritual realm if we are to produce good spiritual fruit. The next and last verse in the chapter says, “And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” This does not happen automatically, we need to feed on God’s word every day and to pray. Paul told the Colossians[Ch. 1 v.9,10]: “we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit …”.

"We want to know what God's will is and Jesus says 'Those who love my Father will do his will.' Then you know the will of God in your life and you do the will of God in your life. That shows your love for God. 'God, my life is about your will and my will becoming one.' And it is not that God changes his will but that I change mine." (from Fr. Daniel's homily) Scripture Reference: Mark 12:28-34

"AND THOSE WHO KNOW ..." Jan. 4 Again, David’s Psalms command our attention. All of Psalm 9 is a marvelous overview of God’s plan and purpose with human beings and the earth. At times God transports David’s thoughts into the future when he, and those God counts as righteous, will say to their Creator, “You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever. The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins … the very memory of them has perished.” [v.5,6] On the other side of the picture, in contrast to this vision of annihilation, the next verses say, “But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice, he judges the earth with righteousness …” [v.7,8] A marvelous summary of how the kingdom of God will function. Our Genesis reading tells us of Noah and his family in the ark and then stepping out onto a cleansed earth, all the godless having been destroyed. God promises Noah that he will never “again strike down every living creature” despite “man’s heart being evil from his youth.” [8 v.21] Not many generations pass before men build the tower of Babel and as a result God “confused the languages of all the earth” and caused men to spread out “over the face of all the earth” [11 v.6-9] So the renewal of belief and faith with Noah and his family did not last. Abraham’s father and brother “served other Gods.” [Josh 24 v.2] We can see some comparison between Noah and his sons and the huge spiritual renewal that followed the widespread translation and printing of the Bible 300 to 400 years ago. But that renewal has now faded away and how few have the understanding and faith of Abraham to whom the Gospel was first preached (see. Gal. 3 v8). The blessings to come on the nations through this gospel are David’s vision in this ninth Psalm. How marvelous is v.10, “And those who know your name put their trust in you. For you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you” But “the nations have sunk into the pit that they made, in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.” [v.15] To “know” is more than to just understanding, it is to have a relationship – read Psalm 95 v.1-7 – John 17 v.3 Let us seek the Lord. Those who know God, who truly believe, will make the final 2 verses of this Psalm their prayer. “Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men!” Later in Matthew we will read the words of Jesus, “whoever humbles himself will be exalted” [23 v.12] God will humble those who do not humble themselves. Let us not be caught up in the spirit around us, that is that human beings believe they are gaining all the answers to life and its meaning and that there is no need to seek God, or even believe he exists. Let us ponder Psalm 14 and reflect upon it

“THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING BECAUSE …” Nov. 19 We are challenged by the way Paul uses the word “truth” 3 times in Chapter 2 of his 2nd letter to the Thessalonians. He also uses it 11 times in his letters to Timothy, which we are just about to read. There is not much “truth” spoken today. No one admits anything they say is a lie, but it is a challenging question to ask ourselves ‘Can we really make a positive statement about something which is neither a “lie” nor “the truth”? The tactic of deliberately giving a misleading impression is all too common; some refer to such as ‘half-truths’ ! Let’s consider some of the points Paul makes. He writes of “those who are perishing because they refused to lovethe truth and so be saved” [v.10] So ‘truth’ is not just something to be spoken – there is a certain “truth” which is something to be loved – and those who do not do this – perish! What is the specific “sense” of the “truth” Paul is referring to here? It is the truth about God and the truth about his ways and the beliefs he is looking for humans to accept and – as a result - then to live their lives in a way that shows they willingly – indeed joyfully – accept this truth as the only meaningful way to live their lives. We are then challenged to understand the character of God when the next 2 verses tell us “therefore God shall send them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness” [v.11,12] Some pull a curtain across their minds as to the character of God; to simply say ‘God is love’ is an oversimplification. Those who have pleasure in unrighteousness cannot serve God acceptably. God knows our hearts; we can intellectually know – and say we understand what is true – but do we lovethat which is true? We may believe God is soon going to make his power known in a very dramatic way! Do we “see” in our hearts that God is being “righteous” in doing this - that God is doing the right thing - because the world deserves this! Verse 13 says we are chosen by God “to be saved through sanctification (holiness) by the Spirit and belief in the truth”. In contrast, when Jesus returns he will “inflict vengeance on all those who do not knowGod and on those who do not obey the gospel …” [1 v.8] But, oh the wonder and joy for those who do! [1 v9-12] And you?

You could say that Rachael Ray is an accidental multi-media star. She readily admits to having stumbled upon her superstar status. "I never wanted to be on food television or daytime television," she confesses. "I never thought I'd author a cookbook. I just knew that I wanted to work in food, and the rest of it's sort of a combination of luck and very weird circumstances." The Emmy-winning TV star almost inadvertently catapulted from hanging out in her mother's kitchen to hosting her own syndicated talk and lifestyle show, starring in three Food Network series, writing cookbooks based on her '30 Minute Meals' concept and launching a magazine, Every Day with Rachael Ray. "I don't think there was any one moment in my life where I decided that food or cooking would necessarily be my job," she says. "Our mom always instilled in us that you can do anything the next person can do, so when the opportunities did arise, I thought, 'Those other people are cooking, and they're on TV, and they're human, so I suppose I can try it.'" Out of the frying pan, into the fire Ray says that her career endeavors were "just sort of a really organic thing for me ... I grew up in kitchens -- production kitchens -- and whenever we were home, that's where everybody was -- in the kitchen." She was raised in Massachusetts and upstate New York, where her family owned and managed multiple restaurants. When she grew up, she moved to New York City, again working in what she knew -- food. One of her first jobs was at the candy counter at Macy's, and she eventually went on to manage the fresh foods departments. She worked in several restaurants and specialty food markets and moved back to upstate New York, where she got her big media break on local television in Albany, doing a '30-Minute Meal' segment once a week on the CBS affiliate. From there, she started teaching classes, making radio and television appearances, and wrote a cookbook that landed her on the 'Today' show. That led to the Food Network, and the rest is history. "I think it's really important to not be afraid of where you've come from or the other jobs you've had," she says. "It makes you sort of fearless moving forward because you're not scared about going back to where you were before, if that wasn't so bad ... so why not try something new?"

Ep.14 What About The Thief On The Cross?              He was not baptized! This is a question that almost always comes up when I am speaking to people (church people) about the importance of being baptized to be saved.  Note. To get the full teaching on what baptism is and why Jesus and His apostles commanded it. Download the full episode on 'the power of baptism' HERE. To download this episode click HERE. Jesus said 'Those who believe and are baptized shall be saved.'      Mark 16:16 The apostle Peter on the day of Pentecost stood up and preached, ''Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. And you shall receive the Holy Spirit,'' Acts 2:38 So we see from scripture the need to repent, believe (obey), be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit to be saved. So what about the thief on the cross. In the gospel of Luke chapter 23, we read that Jesus was being crucified; and with Him were 2 other criminals led to be put to death.  (Matthew's account says that they were two robbers). We see from verse 39 that one of the criminals blasphemed the Lord while the other acknowledged Him as The Lord and said to Him ''Lord remember me when you come into Your kingdom.'' The Lord Jesus answered him ''Assuredly I say to you today you will be with Me in Paradise.'' So the question is how could that man be saved without being baptized. In order to answer that question we need to understand what it is to be saved, (saved from what).                                           Is Jesus talking about being baptized for eternal salvation (going to heaven) or is He talking of something else. In this episode I will teach you what that saved is. What you will learn. Reading from Luke 23   (2:39)   Baptized to be saved (saved from what)  (4:18)   A young man who was struggling with sin  (5:11)    Those who do not get baptized.  (6:37)   An example of being saved from a Queensland lifeguard. He saved many. He never preached the gospel but they were saved. (9:01)   What about those who die before they are baptized, are they saved.                                                                                  A testimony of a man who did die without being baptized and what he saw before he went. This is a very powerful and beautiful testimony of the goodness of God. (9:12)   The consequence of willful (deliberately, willfully sinning). (13:52)   Our body becomes free from sin, clothed with Christ and one with Christ. We get baptized into Christ Jesus.   (15:44) Plus more... The Truth shall make you free.                                                      Be blessed saints. Love you all.   Resources.

2019/1/6 Ps Luke Kennedy ルーク　ケネディ牧師 Categories: Video: https://osaka.mylifehouse.com/tv/message/god-has-a-generous-promise-for-your-life God has a generous promise for your life! Matthew 20:6-15 (ERV) [6] About five o'clock the man went to the marketplace again. He saw some other people standing there. He asked them, 'Why did you stand here all day doing nothing?' [7] "They said, 'No one gave us a job.' "The man said to them, 'Then you can go and work in my vineyard.' [8] "At the end of the day, the owner of the field said to the boss of all the workers, 'Call the workers and pay them all. Start by paying the last people I hired. Then pay all of them, ending with the ones I hired first.' [9] "The workers who were hired at five o'clock came to get their pay. Each worker got one silver coin. [10] Then the workers who were hired first came to get their pay. They thought they would be paid more than the others. But each one of them also received one silver coin. [11] When they got their silver coin, they complained to the man who owned the land. [12] They said, 'Those people were hired last and worked only one hour. But you paid them the same as us. And we worked hard all day in the hot sun.' [13] "But the man who owned the field said to one of them, 'Friend, I am being fair with you. You agreed to work for one silver coin. Right? [14] So take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same pay I gave you. [15] I can do what I want with my own money. Why would you be jealous because I am generous?' 1.The master never stops going out to include others. Romans 10:12-13 (ERV) [12] It says this because there is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. The same Lord is the Lord of all people. And he richly blesses everyone who looks to him for help. [13] Yes, "everyone who trusts in the Lord will be saved." 2.He has a generous promise for every person. Entitlement vs thankfulness. [10] Then the workers who were hired first came to get their pay. They thought they would be paid more than the others. But each one of them also received one silver coin. 3.God is faithful to his generous promise. [13] "But the man who owned the field said to one of them, 'Friend, I am being fair with you. You agreed to work for one silver coin. Right? [14] So take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same pay I gave you. [15] I can do what I want with my own money. Why would you be jealous because I am generous?' 1 Corinthians 1:26-27 (ERV) [26] Brothers and sisters, God chose you to be his. Think about that! Not many of you were wise in the way the world judges wisdom. Not many of you had great influence, and not many of you came from important families. [27] But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. He chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 神様はあなたの人生に寛大な約束がある! マタイ 20:6-15(ALIVE訳) [6]午後5時頃のこと、オーナーはまた市場へ出向いた。同じように突っ立っている男を見たので、“ここで1日中突っ立って何をしているんだ?”と尋ねると、[7]“別に・・・誰も、俺たちに仕事をくれやしないからよぉ”と言うではないか。“だったら、うちのブドウ園で働いたらいい”とオーナーは言った。[8]オーナーは1日の終わりに、みんなを召集するようにと園長に伝えた。“今日の給料を各自へ支払っておくれ。 最後に来た人から順に約束の額を。最初に来た人は最後に支払いなさい”[9]午後5時に雇われ、働いた者たちはみんな、日当分の銀貨1枚を手にした。[10]そして、朝から働いていた人たちの番。 彼らは、だれよりもながく働いたので、だれよりも多くもらえると期待していた。 しかし、与えられたのは同じく銀貨1枚。[11]すると、朝から働いていた人たちは、​オーナーに​文句を言った。 [12] “アイツらは、最後に来て、1時間しか働いてないにもかかわらず、あんたは俺たちに 支払った額と同じ給料を払うってのかよぉ! 俺たちゃ炎天下の中一生懸命働いてたんだぞ!”[13]すると、オーナーは。“ちょっと待っておくれ。契約通り銀貨1枚を支払ったではないか?[14]だから、給料を持っていきなさい。私は、最後に働いてくれたものにも、同じ額を支払ってやりたいのだ。[15]私のお金だ。どう使おうが、私の勝手ではないか! なぜ私の気前のよさに、いちゃもんをにつけ、他の人たちの分をとりあげようとする?” 1.主人は他の人たちを仲間にするために、出て行くことを決して止めない ローマ 10:12-13(ALIVE訳) [12]“誰でも”と記されているのは、ユダヤ人も外国人もわけへだてがないからだ。 王は全人類の王なのだ。そして、助けを求めるものなら、だれでも豪勢に祝福してくれるの だ![13]​そう“王の名を呼び求める者は、だれでも救われるのだ” 2.神様は全員に寛大な約束がある 権利vs感謝 [10]そして、朝から働いていた人たちの番。彼らは、だれよりもながく働いたので、だれよりも多くもらえると期待していた。しかし、与えられたのは同じく銀貨1枚。 3.神様は寛大な約束に対して忠実 [​13] Read rest of the notes 続きを読む https://osaka.mylifehouse.com/tv/message/god-has-a-generous-promise-for-your-life

Episode #16 // Back by popular demand, this week we're going to do another Q&A episode! It’s likely that you’re winding down as the holiday period approaches, and we've had so many good questions from listeners that there's a few more we need to deal with before the year ends.To help me with this Q&A segment, Em has joined me again. Each of these questions could be an episode in its own right, but hopefully we’ve covered them thoroughly enough for you to take action on some of these issues, immediately if need be.So in this episode, Em and I discuss three listener questions:People shares: "I was intrigued by the people share concept. We always do a safety share, but I haven't heard of too many other teams doing a people share, and would love to hear more on it." (this one is up first)Egotistical bosses: "For an aspiring leader in an organisation where the leader above them is self-indulgent and egotistical it can be really difficult to reach their full potential as the competent, capable leader that they are. It's difficult to manage up with this type of leaders. The types who promote a 'Those below me should do everything for me,' culture, and only want to see green on the dashboard because anything less makes them look bad. The good leaders end up frustrated, and either eventually complying for a short amount of time, or just leaving. Either one robs the organisation. So what would you suggest someone in this situation do? How should these aspiring leaders realise opportunities, and provide value with an egotistical boss in the way?" (skip to 7 minutes 30 seconds in)Office politics: “With politics in the workplace, how do you stay aware, and not involved? (skip to 14 minutes 10 seconds in)We’d love to know what you thought of the topics we covered in this episode, and if you’ve got any strategies of your own that you use or have used to combat these issues! Please email us with your feedback at hello@yourceomentor.com.If you're enjoying this episode, please rate, review and subscribe to it (it takes less than 2 minutes of your time) - it will help us reach even more leaders, and hopefully help them on their leadership journey!

The Propers of the Day have been observed for centuries in the ancient church through modern times. We hope to continue that practice and allow these times of meditation, prayer, and the Word of God to fix our minds on things above, as Paul calls us to do. Let us be renewed in our minds and fix our eyes on Jesus. This week's reading comes from Luke chapter 19, beginning at verse 28 "After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 'Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, "Why are you untying it?" tell him, "The Lord needs it." 'Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, 'Why are you untying the colt?' They replied, 'The Lord needs it.' They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 'Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!' 'Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!' Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples!' 'I tell you,' he replied, 'if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.'"

All authority intrinsically is backed by some power. Behind the 'exousia' (authority) there has to be some 'dunamos' (power). In the previous two messages, we began considering the proof of the messianic authority of Jesus as it was revealed in His power over the physical and spiritual realms. First, we considered His authority over Disease and Nature. Last week we considered His authority over demons. Today's message considers Jesus' authority over sin. First, we see His interaction with the young paralytic man who was carried to Jesus by his four friends. Earlier, in Capernaum, Jesus had healed the Centurion's servant who was paralyzed. This time Jesus doesn't heal, He forgives! This young man was suffering from what would be referred today as 'Conversion Disorder.' Jesus knew that it wasn't a physical or psychological issue - it was a spiritual issue. Second, we see Jesus' interaction both with Matthew the tax collector and, subsequently, with Matthew's friends. Jesus stated, 'Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick... I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.' Have you responded to His call?. This message was presented on Sunday, November 11, 2018 by Bob Corbin.

This message, 'Those Who Hunger for Righteousness' was preached on July 1, 2018 by Pastor Casey Fenn. In it, Pastor Casey examined Matthew 5:6 and looked at our need for desiring God's righteousness above everything else. He encouraged the congregation to cultivate this deep desire through connecting to God.

This message, 'Those Who Mourn' was preached on June 17, 2018 by Pastor Casey Fenn. In it, Pastor Casey examined Matthew 5:4 and looked at the place of mourning and grief in our lives - especially how it plays a role in leading us to true repentance. He encouraged the congregation to be comforted by God's presence in spite of everything that's wrong with the world.

"When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked His disciples, 'why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?' When Jesus heard this, He told them 'Those who are well don't need a doctor, but the sick do need one. I didn't come to call the righteous, but sinners.'" -- The Gospel of Mark, 2:16-17 Gird thyself, Theophiloi, for our longest episode to date as we dive into the Gospel of Mark and its mysterious secrets. Join us as we chronicle Jesus's very justifiable frustration with the apostles and learn about the Apostles that are most likely to set your house on fire. Plus, we delve into Secret Mark, Chris has a little difficulty with pronunciation, and we finally answer the age-old question that has been debated by theologians for almost 2,000 years: is the Gospel of Mark a sandwich? Topics of discussion: Hangry Jesus, the 3600 Marks of the Mark Corps, angel messaging, the difficulties of establishing lion and bear biology in bible times, baptism and its methods, the fish on all the cars, ancient acronyms, the most ride-or-die dudes in Galilee, "Boanerges," the Sons of Thunder, mystery cults, Herod, Herod, Herod, Herod, the first millennials, the invention of metaphors, the camel and the needle, a reference for those of you who were extremely online in 2005, "Isaiah Style," the Gay Content Airhorn, the Two Commandments, Thoughts & Prayers, Peter as Jesus's constant punchline, I.N.R.I., a sarcastic centurion who is very rude, Joses, and the Lord's tips and tricks for breaking and entering. Phew, what a long episode.  

Local playwright and author Ian Salmon joined Mick Coyle in the studio to talk about his new play "Those Two Weeks". Ian was joined alongside his wife, Jeanette Salmon, and director of the play, Mike Dickinson. "Those Two Weeks isn’t a play about Hillsborough. It’s a play about before. It’s a play about what life was like when it was normal and it’s a play about how difficult normal can be." The play takes place from 28th February - 3rd March at the Unity Theatre Liverpool.  You can buy your tickets here: https://www.unitytheatreliverpool.co.uk/basket/721-those-two-weeks.html

I have written on several occasions about Leavenworth. It's about 30 minutes by car from where I live, and a very popular destination for tourists. Because of its mountainous landscape(1), it receives more snow than we do, and stays a few degrees colder. There is a skiing area in Leavenworth that is busy each winter. It offers regular downhill skiing, tubing, nordic skiing like cross country and skate skiing, and also a ski jump. We usually go tubing there. It's the easiest of all the activities because it just involves sitting down! You sit on an inner tube, which is the inside rubber tube of a wheel. An assistant hooks you onto a pulley that pulls you up the hill where you are detached, and then you slip down the hill very quickly indeed. It's great fun, and even young children can do it safely. The other skiing activities are spread out over(2) three different locations: on the ski hill itself, along the river, on a golf course, and in the central park. In fact, when there is enough snow, you can see people moving around the town, going here and there on skis, because it seems to be safer than walking. One sport that I think I will never attempt is the ski jump. Instructors are available so beginners can slowly learn to make little jumps, gradually increasing the length of the jump to 15 meters. Those who are more experienced(3) and confident can graduate to 27 meters. I think that would make me dizzy! The Leavenworth ski jump is actually the only one on the West Coast of the U.S, so it's very special. Some people like heights, and enjoy the feeling of flying through the air, so it's perfect for them. I, however, like to have my feet on the ground...Then after a few hours of tubing, or some good exercise skiing, you can't go home without having hot chocolate in the ski cabin. 1. Different kinds of landscapes: a. Because of the arid landscape, water is expensive, and the farms are irrigated. b. The flat landscape of Texas makes it prone to tornados. c. The mountainous landscape of the highway becomes dangerous in rain storms, resulting in landslides. 2. 'To spread ... out over/to be spread out over ...' is a very useful phrase that can be applied in many situations. a. The talks will be spread out throughout the day, so we can have breaks in between. b. The fire fighters spread out over the whole area, trying to surround the fire. c. The gypsies are an ethnic group that is spread out over many nations. 3. 'Those who are more .../ the ... who are more...' a. Those of you who are more athletic can climb the 259 steps up to the Whispering Gallery; the rest of you can explore the main level of St. Paul's Cathedral.  b. The children who are more studious will be picked for the advanced math competition. c. The women who have access to good medical care will do well in their pregnancies and have healthy babies.   Click the link for the Android app

The worst is yet to come. The next – and, soon coming – Holocaust will take two out of three Jews. “Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my G-d.” Tanakh: Zechariah 13:7-9 In this podcast teaching I am going to quickly share with you how the enemy of Israel – Satan – will try to juxtaposition Babylon (a real city) in opposition to Jerusalem. _____________________________________________________________   BABYLON, WHORE OF THE GOYIM  THE ENEMY OF ISRAELהזונה של הגויים ~ A MESSAGE TO BENYAMIN NETANYAHU ~ In this podcast teaching I am going to share with you how the enemy of Israel – Satan – will try to juxtapostion Babylon (a real city) in opposition to Jerusalem. If you understand this, you will be kilometers ahead to the world think tanks ... and,  you will have a perspective from which to analyze real-time prophetic issues. Then, you can act accordingly. This is NOT just a juxtaposition of position (location) ... but of timing as well ... referencing the not-so-distant End Time prophetic events – real time, real events – with the present geopolitical landscape. To develop this postulate I have written a NEW book, Babylon the Bitch - Enemy of Israel where I discuss in detail the following three things: The soon coming – the worst – Jewish Holocaust;  Babylon – the New World Order's – substitute for Jerusalem; and,  The only game plan – that will work – for Israel's Jewry. Bibi Netanyahu, you're doing a good job … you're in a tough position; however, I have a suggestion. Be less influenced by your enemies, both at home and abroad: including the UN, NATO, the UN Security Council and Obama (not to mention Egypt and the Saudis). Listen to G-d and obey. The LORD is your Commander and, actually, the only One to Whom you have to answer. Bibi, remember what I warned Israel about in 2008? I said in August, 2008, NOT be deceived by (then) current peace talks by Olmert and Assad. At that time Obama and USwanted to force Israel into negotiations with Damascus. I warned you, Israel, NOT to do it. Listen to (or read show notes of) my podcast: "Israel, New Forces in Middle East Parlance." Also, Bibi, after all my “suggestions / warnings” to you (see The Voice of Israel for the last 8 years) to strike Iran before it's too late – and NOT listen to the USA or their weak leadership – I have been waiting in the wings watching YOU and … like I said … Iran would play the “time” game. Iran is in a BETTER position militarily now as a result of Israel's non-action. You should have followed my several admonitions to take a preemptive strike against Iran. As for Gaza, you should have let the ministers vote on the cease-fire so all could share in the responsibility of the decision. So now … here's your chance, Bibi, to listen and perceive … and “Thanks” again for your service to Israel. THE NEXT JEWISH HOLOCAUST There are several reasons WHY Satan is so focused on the destruction of Israel and the Jewish People. ﭏ G-d loves the Jews and He loves Israel. In Torah, G-d says concerning Israel: “For you are a holy – set apart – people to the LORD your G-d: the LORD your G-d has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.” [Deuteronomy 7:6] “The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) has the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.” [Deuteronomy 7:7] ב It was through the Jewish people that G-d inspired and gave the world the Holy Bible: the Tanakh (Jewish Old Covenant) and the Brit Chadashah.(Jewish New Covenant). [The Book of Luke in the New Covenant may have been written by a Gentile but we do not know for sure.] ג It was through the seed line of the Jewish people from which Mashiach was born. Both Yosef and Miryam's family trees trace back to King David. Yosef (the husband of Miryam) has his family line going back to Solomon, son of King David. [See Brit Chadashah, the Book of Mattiyahu – Matthew – Chapter One, verses 1 – 17.] Miryam – the virgin-maiden who conceived miraculously by the Ruach HaKodesh – has her seed line on her father's side going back to Nathan, son of King David. [See the Book of Luke, Chapter Three, verses 23 -31.] Miryam's family tree was recorded – as was Jewish custom – on the men's side of the family, so it started with Yosef's father-in-law, Eli. [Editor'sNote: Verse 23,”Yeshua was about thirty years old when he began his public ministry. It was supposed that he was a son of Yosef who was of Eli.”] At any time, anyone who opposed Yeshua – concerning him being the Messiah – could have gone to the Temple (similar to local courthouse records today) and proven Him false if He were. That was one thing of which the religious leaders NEVER accused Yeshua.  His credentials were EXACT:  Messiah, Son of  David … . ד It was the Mashiach of Israel who HEALED the separation between G-d and man as a result of Adam's “fall” in the Garden of Eden. The eternal BLOOD of the Everlasting Covenant paid for the sins of a fallen human race. The Lamb of G-d – the Mashiach – took our sins upon Him [as Isaiah the Prophet foretold 700 years before] and … “by His stripes we are healed.”    אָכֵ֤ן חֳלָיֵ֙נוּ֙ ה֣וּא נָשָׂ֔א וּמַכְאֹבֵ֖ינוּ סְבָלָ֑ם וַאֲנַ֣חְנוּ חֲשַׁבְנֻ֔הוּ נָג֛וּעַ מֻכֵּ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים וּמְעֻנֶּֽה׃   וְהוּא֙ מְחֹלָ֣ל מִפְּשָׁעֵ֔נוּ מְדֻכָּ֖א מֵעֲוֹנֹתֵ֑ינוּ מוּסַ֤ר שְׁלֹומֵ֙נוּ֙ עָלָ֔יו וּבַחֲבֻרָתֹ֖ו נִרְפָּא־לָֽנו  “In fact, it was our diseases he bore, our pains from which he suffered; yet we regarded him as punished, stricken and afflicted by G-d. But he was wounded because of our crimes, crushed because of our sins; the disciplining that makes us whole fell on him, and by his bruises [stripes] we are healed.” [Tanakh: Isaiah 53:4-5] His blood was holy. He was perfect G-d and perfect man. Born of a virgin – through a miracle of the Ruach HaKodesh – His blood did not contain sin from an earthly father in Adam's seedline. Yeshua came from the Father G-d. To this Man the ancient Rabbis testify. This blood from the Lamb of G-d, poured out for me and for you, is sufficient atonement – payment and covering – for our souls. [Torah: Leviticus 17:11] ה Messiah will NOT return again until Israel acknowledges Him and invites Him – pleads with Him – to come and bring deliverance. Then, the Deliverer will come to Zion. It is very plain … If Satan can wipe out the Jews and Israel, the Mashiach can NOT return! “I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly.” [Tanakh: Hosea 5:15] EDITOR'S NOTE: He (Mashiach) could NOT return to His place (in Heaven, with the Father G-d) unless He had been to earth previously (the first time). The “affliction” spoken of will be the Time of Jacob's Trouble.“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Ya‘akov's [Jacob's] trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” [Tanakh: Jeremiah 30:7] This will be last half (42 months) during the Seven Year Covenant that Israel will make with the Palestinians. At the very end of the seven years Mashiach will return when the Jewish people invite Him – plead with Him – to return. Those last three and one-half years (42 months) of the Seven Year Peace Treaty will be worse than the Nazi Holocaust … especially for those Jews living in אֵזוֹר יְהוּדָה וְשׁוֹמְרוֹן[Ezor Yehuda VeShomron – Judea and Samaria, or יו"ש … the West Bank]. Every Israeli – and every Jewish person – should read, Map of the End Times, by Prince Handley. Also, study the companion book, Flow Chart of Revelation. Both of these books are available at Amazon and other book stores in both e-Book and Paperback. [Editor's Note: See the FREE OFFER at the end of this report.] ו When Messiah comes – as King – He will destroy the enemies of Israel and set up His earthly Kingdom, ruling from Jerusalem.He will deliver His people. “In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem … It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” [Tanakh: Zechariah 12:8-9]  “I will destroy the strength of the goyim kingdoms.” (Tanakh: Haggai 2:22]  “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” [Tanakh: Zechariah 12:10]  “And one will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your hands?' Then he will answer. 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'” [Zechariah 13:6]  “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.” [ Zechariah 13:1] So now you know WHY Satan hates the Jews and Israel: ﭏ G-d loves the Jews and He loves Israel. ב It was through the Jewish people that G-d inspired and gave the world the Holy Bible. ג It was through the seed line of the Jewish people from which Mashiach was born. ד It was the Mashiach of Israel who who HEALED the separation between G-d and man as a result of Adam's “fall” in the Garden of Eden. ה Messiah will NOT come [return again] until Israel acknowledges Him and invites Him – pleads with Him – to come and bring deliverance. Then, the Deliverer will come to Zion. If Satan can wipe out the Jews and Israel, the Mashiach can NOT return! ו When Messiah comes – as King – He will destroy the enemies of Israel and set up His earthly Kingdom, ruling from Jerusalem. Now you know WHY the Jews – and Israel – have suffered and been opposed so much throughout history. And … now you know WHY the Jews are back in Eretz Israel after nearly 2,000 years of dispersion. It is time for Mashiach to come to Israel and set up His Messianic Kingdom. But – before He returns – the worst Holocaust the Jews have ever experienced will happen: the Prophet Jeremiah called it the Time of Jacob's Trouble. What you are seeing and hearing in the news is the "sign" of the preparation of Israel for a great spiritual awakening in which multitudes of Jews turn to Mashiach Yeshua during the worst Holocaust the Jews have ever known. The enemy of Israel – Satan – will try to juxtaposition Babylon (a real city) in opposition to Jerusalem: both spiritually and physically. Most people do NOT realize that the KEY enemy of Israel has clandestine architectural and strategic – as well as spiritual – plans against Israel. Plans that include much more than Iran or ISIS or the United Nations. This is NOT just a juxtaposition of position, but of timing as well. Referencing the not-so-distant End Time prophetic events ― real time, real events — with the present geopolitical landscape. To help you, Bibi, and Israel, and my gentile friends understand what is really happening behind the scenes – in a geopolitical and spiritual underpinning – I have written a NEW book titled, Babylon the Bitch – Enemy of Israel. It will help you understand: The soon coming – the worst – Jewish Holocaust; Babylon – New World Order substitute – for Jerusalem; and, The only game plan – that will work – for Israel. In particular, you will learn “survival mode” for Israelis by using the “Game Plan” included. As in any military tactics – especially for God's People – you need to know from where the source of supply is coming … and, especially if you can obtain intel – what specific plans are being implemented for your demise. I have provided just that for you in this book. BABYLON, CAPITAL OF THE NEW GLOBAL GOVERNMENT Islam will likely be the catalyst which will bring about the one world government. Muslim terrorism is now global. You will begin to see the loss of your right to privacy. Israel and the USA will be the key targets of this attack. Islamic terrorism will be the active agent to frighten people into wanting New Global Governance. The Koran instructs Muslims to kill non-Muslims (Jews and Christians). In exchange for being allowed to build her Temple, Israel will sign a peace treaty with the coming world leader: the false-messiah. We will review the historic world powers and their treatment of Israel ... and how New Babylon will arise from a 10 region cooperative of REGIONAL leaders who give support to the coming world leader: the False Mashiach. Babylon – whore of the goyim – is just that!I am going to show you certain details of the harlot Babylon that are NOT covered by usual theological exegesis. Babylon, as in the past – so in the future – is the enemy of Israel AND is about to appear on the scene. Without going down “rabbit trails” I am going to show you hidden – previously unrevealed – secrets of geopolitical processes that are – at this present time – being organically systemetized. Make sure you know Mashiach personally. He is returning for sure! Do NOT wait because there will be a strong delusion sent upon the earth and it will be too late then. Pray this prayer: “Father in Heaven, if Yeshua (Jesus) is really my Messiah, then reveal Him to me. I ask Jesus to come into my life right now and to help me live for Him. Please forgive my sins and take me to Heaven when I die. Amen!” We know the following: There were be a legal underpinning of the New World Governance (NWG). There will emerge the leader of the NWG, who will be the False Messiah. There will be a seven year peace treaty between Israel and Palestinians. Israel will be allowed to rebuild her Temple on or near the Temple Mount. Animal sacrifices will be resumed at the Temple. The False Messiah (the Anti-Christ) will select the False Prophet (New Global Religion Leader). The 144,000 Jewish evangelists will be protected by God as they prophesy. There will be TWO witnesses who prophesy from Jerusalem for three and one-half years. In the middle of the seven years, the FALSE-messiah will order the animal sacrifices to stop. The FALSE Messiah will go into the Temple and declare he is G-d. (Daniel 9:27 and Matthew 24:15] He is the “abomination of desolation” that Daniel and Yeshua prophesied concerning. After this, there will be 42 months of the worst Holocaust the Jews have ever known: the Time of Jacob's Trouble (Jeremiah 30:5-7). One-third of the world's remaining population will die (one-fourth already died). This leaves only one-half of the world's population left. During this time, Babylon in Saudi Arabia (a quad city area including Mecca) will become the world center of commerce AND religion New Babylon will be a quad city area. Mecca is 79 kilometers (49 miles) from the Red Sea now, and its ties with Jeddah, King Abdullah Economic City and Medina form an organic union. However, the cities of Jeddah and King Abdullah Economic City are already on the Red Sea coast, fulfilling the prophecy that New Babylon will be a seaport city (Revelation Chapters 17 and 18). Babylon will be supported initially by a 10 region federation similar to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation [OIC]. The final Organization of Islamic States [OIS} will eventually meld Sunnis, Shias and ISIS into one group - but still separated internally. New Babylon will influence world leaders with: 1. Trade; 2. False religion [Islam]; and, 3. Bloodshed of Christians and Jews. Babylon will be destroyed by fire: probably nuclear attack. (Isaiah 21:9, Revelation 18:1-2, Revelation 14:8) Babylon will be burned and destroyed by the same 10 regional Islamic states that originally supported her. (Revelation 17:16-17) Mashiach will return and destroy the enemies of Israel and set up His earthly Kingdom.

Make sure you order you copy NOW so you will have access to the geopolitical underpinning already designed against Israel … and God's People everywhere.

It is very plain … If Satan can wipe out the Jews and Israel, the Mashiach can NOT return! “I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly.” [Tanakh: Hosea 5:15] EDITOR'S NOTE: He (Mashiach) could NOT return to His place (in Heaven, with the Father G-d) unless He had been to earth previously (the first time). The “affliction” spoken of will be the Time of Jacob's Trouble.“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Ya‘akov's [Jacob's] trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” [Tanakh: Jeremiah 30:7] This will be last half (42 months) during the Seven Year Covenant that Israel will make with the Palestinians. At the very end of the seven years Mashiach will return when the Jewish people invite Him – plead with Him – to return. Those last three and one-half years (42 months) of the Seven Year Peace Treaty will be worse than the Nazi Holocaust … especially for those Jews living in אֵזוֹר יְהוּדָה וְשׁוֹמְרוֹן[Ezor Yehuda VeShomron – Judea and Samaria, or יו"ש … the West Bank]. Every Israeli – and every Jewish person – should read, Map of the End Times, by Prince Handley. Also, study the companion book, Flow Chart of Revelation. Both of these books are available at Amazon and other book stores in both e-Book and Paperback. [Editor's Note: See the FREE OFFER at the end of this report.] ו When Messiah comes – as King – He will destroy the enemies of Israel and set up His earthly Kingdom, ruling from Jerusalem.He will deliver His people. “In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem … It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” [Tanakh: Zechariah 12:8-9]  “I will destroy the strength of the goyim kingdoms.” (Tanakh: Haggai 2:22]  “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” [Tanakh: Zechariah 12:10]  “And one will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your hands?' Then he will answer. 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'” [Zechariah 13:6]  “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.” [ Zechariah 13:1] So now you know WHY Satan hates the Jews and Israel: ﭏ G-d loves the Jews and He loves Israel. ב It was through the Jewish people that G-d inspired and gave the world the Holy Bible. ג It was through the seed line of the Jewish people from which Mashiach was born. ד It was the Mashiach of Israel who who HEALED the separation between G-d and man as a result of Adam's “fall” in the Garden of Eden. ה Messiah will NOT come [return again] until Israel acknowledges Him and invites Him – pleads with Him – to come and bring deliverance. Then, the Deliverer will come to Zion. If Satan can wipe out the Jews and Israel, the Mashiach can NOT return! ו When Messiah comes – as King – He will destroy the enemies of Israel and set up His earthly Kingdom, ruling from Jerusalem. Now you know WHY the Jews – and Israel – have suffered and been opposed so much throughout history. And … now you know WHY the Jews are back in Eretz Israel after nearly 2,000 years of dispersion. It is time for Mashiach to come to Israel and set up His Messianic Kingdom. But – before He returns – the worst Holocaust the Jews have ever experienced will happen: the Prophet Jeremiah called it the Time of Jacob's Trouble. What you are seeing and hearing in the news is the "sign" of the preparation of Israel for a great spiritual awakening in which multitudes of Jews turn to Mashiach Yeshua during the worst Holocaust the Jews have ever known. The enemy of Israel – Satan – will try to juxtaposition Babylon (a real city) in opposition to Jerusalem: both spiritually and physically. Most people do NOT realize that the KEY enemy of Israel has clandestine architectural and strategic – as well as spiritual – plans against Israel. Plans that include much more than Iran or ISIS or the United Nations. This is NOT just a juxtaposition of position, but of timing as well. Referencing the not-so-distant End Time prophetic events ― real time, real events — with the present geopolitical landscape. To help you, Bibi, and Israel, and my gentile friends understand what is really happening behind the scenes – in a geopolitical and spiritual underpinning – I have written a NEW book titled, Babylon the Bitch – Enemy of Israel. It will help you understand: The soon coming – the worst – Jewish Holocaust; Babylon – New World Order substitute – for Jerusalem; and, The only game plan – that will work – for Israel. In particular, you will learn “survival mode” for Israelis by using the “Game Plan” included. As in any military tactics – especially for God's People – you need to know from where the source of supply is coming … and, especially if you can obtain intel – what specific plans are being implemented for your demise. I have provided just that for you in this book. BABYLON, CAPITAL OF THE NEW GLOBAL GOVERNMENT Islam will likely be the catalyst which will bring about the one world government. Muslim terrorism is now global. You will begin to see the loss of your right to privacy. Israel and the USA will be the key targets of this attack. Islamic terrorism will be the active agent to frighten people into wanting New Global Governance. The Koran instructs Muslims to kill non-Muslims (Jews and Christians). In exchange for being allowed to build her Temple, Israel will sign a peace treaty with the coming world leader: the false-messiah. We will review the historic world powers and their treatment of Israel ... and how New Babylon will arise from a 10 region cooperative of REGIONAL leaders who give support to the coming world leader: the False Mashiach. Babylon – whore of the goyim – is just that!I am going to show you certain details of the harlot Babylon that are NOT covered by usual theological exegesis. Babylon, as in the past – so in the future – is the enemy of Israel AND is about to appear on the scene. Without going down “rabbit trails” I am going to show you hidden – previously unrevealed – secrets of geopolitical processes that are – at this present time – being organically systemetized. Make sure you know Mashiach personally. He is returning for sure! Do NOT wait because there will be a strong delusion sent upon the earth and it will be too late then. Pray this prayer: “Father in Heaven, if Yeshua (Jesus) is really my Messiah, then reveal Him to me. I ask Jesus to come into my life right now and to help me live for Him. Please forgive my sins and take me to Heaven when I die. Amen!” We know the following: There were be a legal underpinning of the New World Governance (NWG). There will emerge the leader of the NWG, who will be the False Messiah. There will be a seven year peace treaty between Israel and Palestinians. Israel will be allowed to rebuild her Temple on or near the Temple Mount. Animal sacrifices will be resumed at the Temple. The False Messiah (the Anti-Christ) will select the False Prophet (New Global Religion Leader). The 144,000 Jewish evangelists will be protected by God as they prophesy. There will be TWO witnesses who prophesy from Jerusalem for three and one-half years. In the middle of the seven years, the FALSE-messiah will order the animal sacrifices to stop. The FALSE Messiah will go into the Temple and declare he is G-d. (Daniel 9:27 and Matthew 24:15] He is the “abomination of desolation” that Daniel and Yeshua prophesied concerning. After this, there will be 42 months of the worst Holocaust the Jews have ever known: the Time of Jacob's Trouble (Jeremiah 30:5-7). One-third of the world's remaining population will die (one-fourth already died). This leaves only one-half of the world's population left. During this time, Babylon in Saudi Arabia (a quad city area including Mecca) will become the world center of commerce AND religion New Babylon will be a quad city area. Mecca is 79 kilometers (49 miles) from the Red Sea now, and its ties with Jeddah, King Abdullah Economic City and Medina form an organic union. However, the cities of Jeddah and King Abdullah Economic City are already on the Red Sea coast, fulfilling the prophecy that New Babylon will be a seaport city (Revelation Chapters 17 and 18). Babylon will be supported initially by a 10 region federation similar to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation [OIC]. The final Organization of Islamic States [OIS} will eventually meld Sunnis, Shias and ISIS into one group - but still separated internally. New Babylon will influence world leaders with: 1. Trade; 2. False religion [Islam]; and, 3. Bloodshed of Christians and Jews. Babylon will be destroyed by fire: probably nuclear attack. (Isaiah 21:9, Revelation 18:1-2, Revelation 14:8) Babylon will be burned and destroyed by the same 10 regional Islamic states that originally supported her. (Revelation 17:16-17) Mashiach will return and destroy the enemies of Israel and set up His earthly Kingdom.

Where is the direction of your trust? Is it in man, yourself, the things of this world or in God? Placing your trust in God will shut out all evil from your life. Placing your trust in man or the 'arm of flesh' will shut out all good from your life. Matthew Henry said - 'Those that trust to any arm of flesh will find it no better than a broken reed; but God is the Rock of ages." Israel found that out the hard way. Learn from their lesson and place all your trust and confidence in the LORD JEHOVAH. You will be blessed when you do!

Movie Meltdown - Episode 232 This week we remember Ray Harryhausen and discuss using the old-style of visual and special effects. And those topics become even more interesting when we work in our special guests Eric Chu and Lee Stringer. Both of which have spend a lot of time working with the newer technology and effects including CGI. So we reminisce about what initially got them interested in visual effects and what it has been like working in the modern CG-dominated world. Plus we continue hanging out with Ben and Dave from "Tower of Technobabble", and hear their thoughts on stop-motion animation as well.   And while we all confess that what we really want to do is direct, we also discuss... getting married, a teddy bear that comes to life, Greg Nicotero, LEGO, Tim Burton, Battlestar Galactica, blood and gore effects, Ricardo Montalban, Rebel Without a Crew, Medusa totally had extensions, ParaNorman, Firefly, Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet, visual effects shot, being dressed as a sexy space vixen, Dark Shadows, Clash of the Titans, everybody wants to direct, Trojan dewback, limits really focus you into being creative and being clever and keep you from just going overboard, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Team America: World Police, micro micro low budget, James Cameron, suck it up Gandalf, ping pong balls cosplay, he hated the puppets... originally he called them, 'Those damned bastards', Frankenweenie, Iron Sky, Jason and the Argonauts, vinyl vs. digital, The Thing prequel, being the puppet guy, working on a limited budget, The Walking Dead, the corniest thing in L.A., cg-ing IN the strings, one of the first movies I ever recorded on VHS, stop-motion and Transformers, Golden Voyage of Sinbad, distractions, A.I., Poison Ivy and Sam Worthington.  "It's like watching toys move.

Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2012 Dr James Kneale, UCL Geography In the nineteenth century, mainstream medical opinion suggested that abstaining from alcohol was a health risk. The advent of insurance policies for abstainers helped to chip away at this certainty, as well as encouraging policyholders to think about their health. This lecture will discuss how, by the start of the twentieth century, the medical profession had begun to do very well out of insurance, despite the ambiguities of assessing drink-related problems. UCL is consistently ranked as one of the world's top universities. Across all disciplines our faculties are known for their research-intensive approaches, academic excellence and engagement with global challenges.

Bishopsgate Institute Podcast: 'Those Lovely Trans-Atlantic Invaders' - American Women in Victorian London with Dr Jane S. Gabin. Recorded live at Bishopsgate Institute, 1 October 2009.

A listener in Brazil challenges Martha's pronunciation of the odd English word antipodes. Their email exchange leads Martha to muse about a favorite collection of poems, where she first encountered this word....Recently on our show, I made a linguistic boo-boo. Did you catch it?We were talking about the word 'podium.' A listener named Joel called to say that the word 'podium' originally denoted something you stand on. But more and more, people are using it to mean something you 'stand behind.' Joel was none too happy about that.I told him he was right about the roots of the word 'podium,' even though its meaning has changed. M: I feel your pain Joel. Absolutely, podium comes from ultimately from a Greek word meaning 'foot.' G: Yeah, but that doesn't mean -- M: Hear me out. Hear me out! It's like podiatrist, the doctor who looks after your feet. It's like antipodes, the people on the other side of the world from us, exactly. There's a big old foot in that word.J: There sure is!Did you catch my mistake? One of our listeners in Brazil did. Luciano emailed from Sao Paolo to say I'd mispronounced that word for people on the other side of world. A-n-t-i-p-o-d-e-s, he wrote, isn't pronounced 'ANN-ti-poads.' It's 'ann-TIP-uh-dees.' - he's right! 'Ann-TIP-uh-dees' means, as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it: 'Those who dwell directly opposite to each other on the globe, so that the soles of their feet are, as it were, planted against each other.'It's a poetic word, 'ann-TIP-uh-dees,' those Greek roots conjuring an image of people standing sole to sole, yet separated by an entire planet. The English word 'ann-TIP-uh-dees' was originally plural in form, referring to lots of people. The singular version, 'ANN-tih-poad,' came only later, by a process linguists call back-formation.In any case, my only excuse for mispronouncing the word is this: In elementary school, I'd seen that singular form, 'ANN-tih-pode,' and just assumed that the plural would naturally be 'ANN-ti-podes.'You may be wondering why an elementary-school kid would run into the word 'antipode' at all. Let me tell you about a book of poems that I just love. It's called 'Grooks' by Piet Hein. If you're not familiar with it, you're in for a treat. Hein was a 20th-century Danish scientist, poet, and designer. He was always trying to bridge the gap between art and science, which is probably why he counted among his close friends both Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin. He also wrote short, insightful poems in Danish, English, and another passion of his, Esperanto.Here's a pithy poem called 'Problems':Problems worthy of attackProve their worthBy hitting back.Nuff said.Here's one that he called 'A Psychological Tip':Whenever you're called on to make up your mind,And you're hampered by not having any,The best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find,Is simply by spinning a penny.No - not so that chance shall decide the affairWhile you're passively standing there moping;But the moment the penny is up in the air,You suddenly know what you're hoping.I tell you, I've used that tip more times than I can count.And finally, the poem that introduced me to the word 'antipode.' It will steadily shrink,our earthly abode,until antipode standsupon antipode.Then, soles together,the planet gone,we'll know the groundthat we rest upon.The book is called 'Grooks' by Piet Hein. Here are some more examples of his poems.http://www.chat.carleton.ca/~tcstewar/grooks/grooks.html---Get your language question answered on the air!
