Text of the page (random words):
y clay stated a more worthy goal far better is it for ourselves and for the cause of liberty that we should keep our lamp burning brightly on this western shore as a light to all nations than to hazard its utter extinction amid the ruins of falling or fallen republics in europe clay was referring to a dispute between the in the 19th century when the hungarians had risen up against the hapsburg empire and sought u s intervention in my lifetime we have seen bloody spectacular failures of this crusade middle east iraq afghanistan africa somalia the far east vietnam our own hemisphere cuba nicaragua and many that are less publicized and questionable interventions into centuries old blood feuds serbia bosnia were these about empire building raping other cultures forcing the world to become an american strip mall oil flexing our might or other popular brain dead leftist slogans or were they sympathy driven protective big brother actions or domino theory driven mini wars i believe they were more the latter and they remind me of the furniture disease what our heart was in the right place mostly it was in our chest but as in the furniture disease our chest had fallen into our drawers campaigns like those require money but after the pandemic fades our national debt will have ballooned to the point where in combination with the weakened economy perhaps will be unpayable goodbye foreign interventions one can hope author iamcurmudgeon posted on april 21 2020 april 24 2020 leave a comment on is america s future as a promised land not a crusader state when the eyes close on earth for good they open in heaven that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death hebrews 2 14 death loses today i found out that the cancer i thought was vanquished had instead infiltrated other parts of my body including my liver my oncologist presented my options for treatment mainly chemotherapy and immunotherapy if these options turn out to be 1 great expense and discomfort from attempts to treat the cancer with low probability of a cure 2 a gradual death from the cancer with palliative measures towards the end when the pain has become too great to bear 3 by mental exercises and exertions and trusting god for my ultimate disposition perhaps curing the cancer by non medical means i was looking for a sign from god what i should choose this very morning my daily reading of charles spurgeon meditations fell on the following which i accept as an expression of my faith therefore i choose 3 pending my discussion with the therapy experts on april 23 o child of god death hath lost its sting because the devil s power over it is destroyed then cease to fear dying ask grace from god the holy ghost that by an intimate knowledge and a firm belief of thy redeemer s death thou mayst be strengthened for that dread hour living near the cross of calvary thou mayst think of death with pleasure and welcome it when it comes with intense delight it is sweet to die in the lord it is a covenant blessing to sleep in jesus death is no longer banishment it is a return from exile a going home to the many mansions where the loved ones already dwell the distance between glorified spirits in heaven and militant saints on earth seems great but it is not so we are not far from home a moment will bring us there the sail is spread the soul is launched upon the deep how long will be its voyage how many wearying winds must beat upon the sail ere it shall be reefed in the port of peace how long shall that soul be tossed upon the waves before it comes to that sea which knows no storm listen to the answer absent from the body present with the lord yon ship has just departed but it is already at its haven it did but spread its sail and it was there like that ship of old upon the lake of galilee a storm had tossed it but jesus said peace be still and immediately it came to land think not that a long period intervenes between the instant of death and the eternity of glory when the eyes close on earth they open in heaven the horses of fire are not an instant on the road then o child of god what is there for thee to fear in death seeing that through the death of thy lord its curse and sting are destroyed and now it is but a jacob s ladder whose foot is in the dark grave but its top reaches to glory everlasting my daughters want me to get cured but they understand that i am already so weakened by myasthenia gravis a stroke and previous cancer treatments that i may choose to end the therapy or not get started dear readers you won t have many opportunities to read the thoughts of one preparing for death sharing my perspective as a christian is perhaps my final and most worthy mission on this earth i will update in a few days author iamcurmudgeon posted on april 20 2020 april 21 2020 leave a comment on when the eyes close on earth for good they open in heaven it s past time to start opening our country professor yitzhak ben israel of tel aviv university who also serves on the research and development advisory board for teva pharmaceutical industries plotted the rates of new coronavirus infections of the u s u k sweden italy israel switzerland france germany and spain the numbers told a shocking story irrespective of whether the country quarantined like israel or went about business as usual like sweden coronavirus peaked and subsided in the exact same way in the exact same way his graphs show that all countries experienced seemingly identical coronavirus infection patterns with the number of infected peaking in the sixth week and rapidly subsiding by the eighth week the wuhan virus follows its own pattern he told mako an israeli news agency it is a fixed pattern that is not dependent on freedom or quarantine there is a decline in the number of infections even in countries without closures and it is similar to the countries with closures he wrote in his paper but what about italy and their staggering 12 mortality rate the health system in italy has its own problems it has nothing to do with coronavirus in 2017 it also collapsed because of the flu professor yitzhak ben israel told the news agency indeed italy s exceptionally high coronavirus mortality rate is eerily reminiscent of their unusually high flu mortality rates supportive of this theory germany has low flu infection and mortality rates and similarly low coronavirus rates it s been one month since our country declared a national coronavirus emergency and life as we knew it had ceased americans have been growing agitated unwilling to continue in this way knowing something is wrong trump has sensed that his constituency is displeased with the authoritarian power grab by our governors and has repeatedly stated that he wishes to reopen the country but that he needs more information to make the right decision professor yitzhak ben israel s data analysis provides trump with the assurance that he needs to reopen america several states have banded together to oppose president trump s framework for getting america back to work while other states have shown a willingness to protect individual liberty and the livelihoods of americans no two states demonstrate this stark contrast better than texas and washington on the same day gov inslee d wash and gov abbott r texas issued statements that display the fundamental question facing america shall the united states remain a nation founded on liberty or shall we capriciously remove those rights as an exercise to increase the power of the state abbott s office issued this statement governor greg abbott today held a press conference where he issued three new executive orders to begin the process of reopening the state of texas while revising hospital capacity and certain social distancing guidelines within the orders select activities and services that pose minimal to no threat of spreading covid 19 are allowed to reopen using a retail to go model certain restrictions on surgeries have been loosened and schools will remain closed for the remainder of the 2019 2020 academic year within these orders the governor has established the strike force to open texas a team of nationally recognized medical experts and private and public leaders who will advise the governor on safely and strategically reopening the state of texas texans are battling a colossal challenge an invisible enemy that has tested our lives and our livelihoods but overcoming challenges is part of who we are as texans said governor abbott we have shown that texas can continue our efforts to contain covid 19 while also adopting safe standards that will allow us to begin the process of reopening texas the strike force to open texas brings together nationally recognized medical experts with public and private sector leaders to achieve this mission by coming together we can get texans back to work practice safe standards that will prevent the spread of covid 19 and we can overcome this pandemic it appears inslee doesn t share abbott s belief in self governance and would prefer that washington remain shut down might he prefer more draconian measures to keep washingtonians from their basic activities even when those measures don t make sense in fighting a pandemic inslee followed the example of new jersey s democrat governor by banning private construction while declaring construction on government projects essential he has also ordered a ban on fishing and hunting closed parks to camping and hiking and ordered boat launches closed among many other restrictions that will have little effect on slowing the virus he seems to think individuals can t be trusted to practice social distancing while wandering in the wilderness inslee stated earlier this week along with the governors of oregon and california that he is still months away from allowing citizens to resume their normal lives not weeks months one of the biggest conditions he placed on allowing folks to go back to work is widespread testing capability to be able to track sick people he knows that testing is a long ways off so that gives him all the moral authority he needs to continue to order people home meanwhile more and more liberties are stripped away every day in washington is this the battle for freedom that ronald reagan warned us about when he said freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction we didn t pass it to our children in the bloodstream it must be fought for protected and handed on for them to do the same or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children s children what it was once like in the united states where men were free author iamcurmudgeon posted on april 19 2020 april 20 2020 leave a comment on it s past time to start opening our country bild to china you suck germany s largest paper to china s president you re endangering the world berlin the editor in chief of germany s largest paper bild on thursday launched a full frontal attack on china s communist president xi jinping for his regime s failure to come clean about the coronavirus outbreak and the massive human rights violations carried out by the communist party julian reichelt the prominent editor in chief of the bild wrote to jinping that your embassy in berlin has addressed me in an open letter because we asked in our newspaper bild whether china should pay for the massive economic damage the coronavirus is inflicting worldwide reichert wrote that you your government and your scientists had to know long ago that coronavirus is highly infectious but you left the world in the dark about it your top experts didn t respond when western researchers asked to know what was going on in wuhan you were too proud and too nationalistic to tell the truth which you felt was a national disgrace you rule by surveillance you wouldn t be president without surveillance you monitor everything every citizen but you refuse to monitor the diseased wet markets in your country you shut down every newspaper and website that is critical of your rule but not the stalls where bat soup is sold you are not only monitoring your people you are endangering them and with them the rest of the world he continued with his bill of particulars noting that surveillance is a denial of freedom and a nation that is not free is not creative a nation that is not innovative does not invent anything this is why you have made your country the world champion in intellectual property theft china enriches itself with the inventions of others instead of inventing on its own reichelt wrote the reason china does not innovate and invent is that you don t let the young people in your country think freely china s greatest export hit that nobody wanted to have but which has nevertheless gone around the world is coronavirus gulp and gulp again this is what i have been thinking and imagine that president trump has also been thinking compare that condemnation with the craven pandering to china of our own press the nba major tech companies like google though not facebook good for you the spokeswoman for china s embassy tao lil published an open letter to bild in german on the embassy s website on wednesday stating that i followed your reporting on the corona pandemic in general and china s alleged guilt in particular today apart from the fact that we consider it a pretty bad style to blame a country for a pandemic that is affecting the whole world and then to present an explicit account of alleged chinese debts to germany the article ignores some essential facts she added that we note that many countries now struggling with covid 19 have had time to prepare for the cross border spread of the pathogen after china reported its outbreak under ihr world health organization guidelines she should have quit while she was behind his best broadside is yet to come the bild editor in chief cited a washington post article reporting that your laboratories in wuhan have been researching coronaviruses in bats but without maintaining the highest safety standards why are your toxic laboratories not as secure as your prisons for political prisoners would you like to explain this to the grieving widows daughters sons husbands parents of corona victims all over the world he concluded that in your country your people are whispering about you your power is crumbling you have created an inscrutable non transparent china before corona china was known as a surveillance state now china is known as a surveillance state that infected the world with a deadly disease that is your political legacy why has xi not been compared to hitler while our own press has no problem conflating trump with hitler i disagree with only one of mr reichelt s assertions china does not innovate and invent they are very innovative with hacking surveillance and intellectual property theft let s give credit where credit is due author
