"Many will become addicted to hateful and malicious thoughts and hateful words. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, angry despisers of what is good and right. With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and blinded by clouds of conceit. They will demand and find their delight in the pleasures of this world, and ignore their need to serve God. They may act religious, but they want to serve themselves."
2 Timothy 3:1-5
“I, as a human being, a Christian, a priest, and a German, demand of you, Chief Physician of the Reich, that you answer for the crimes that have been perpetrated at your bidding, and with your consent, and which will call forth the vengeance of the Lord on the heads of the German people.
I reject with my innermost the evacuation [deportation of Jews] with all its side effects, because it is directed against the most important commandment of Christianity, ‘You shall love your neighbor as much as you love yourself.’ And I recognize the Jew too as my neighbor, who possesses an immortal soul, shaped after the likeness of God. However, since I cannot prevent this governmental measure, I have made up my mind to accompany the deported Jews and Christian Jews into exile, in order to give them spiritual aid. I wish to use this opportunity to ask the Gestapo to give me this opportunity."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"I wonder whether people who ask God to intervene openly and directly in our world quite realise what it will be like when He does. Then it will be God without disguise; something so overwhelming that it will strike either irresistible love or irresistible horror into every creature. It will be too late then to choose your side. That will not be the time for choosing: it will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realised it before or not."
C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, 1944
"Someone told me that in Germany these days, no one really knows or cares about Sophie Scholl, and the White Rose Society. I know. I remember. And I care.
And if I ever meet her and the others like her, who gave themselves up for what is good, who became beacons of light for us in the long, dark hallways of history, I hope I can say, 'I did not forget you.'"
Jesse, But If Not, 29 February 2012
"When humanity, subjugated by the terror of crime, has been driven mad by fear and horror, and when chaos has become the supreme law, then the time for the empire of lawlessness will have come."
Friedrich Rudolf Klein-Rogge, Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse
It is important not to fill your minds, and your children's hearts, with the darkness of the haters, dividers and destroyers.
Their objective is to strip society of its decency, and give a freer hand to their unbridled greed and lust for power.
It leaves you vulnerable to their lawlessness, without an anchor in the storms.
Stocks continued to slump after the immaculate disinflation rally boogie woogie rally.
Gold popped.
If it can hold these levels through the stock option expiration tomorrow and the Comex option expiration next week, we might have a breakout in play.
Silver managed to reclaim its big early hit in sympathy with stocks.
Let's see how we go into the weekend.
Jesse, why do you spend so much of our time on this 'religious stuff.'
Never discount the state and value of your soul, because that's what this is all about.
Have a pleasant evening.
