Freedom’s Root

Spiritual Freedom Is the Basis of ALL OTHER Freedom

Willliam R Collier Jr

To be free, from a Christian and Biblical perspective, means to have power over yourself, including your own flesh, through the Spirit of God, and to thereby have and experience the abundant life both in this world and in the next. To be under bondage to others or even your sinful flesh, so that you cannot have and experience the abundant life, is slavery. We are not free, as God himself defines being free, when we are in bondage.

————————-

When two or more are gathered in the name, or authority, of Jesus Christ, HE is in the midsgt of them. To be able to come together and exercise the authority of Jesus Christ in our midst, in terms of our relationships and associations, is to establish the dominion of the free- this is freedom in Christ.

It is not merely being free as individual but being able to come together (two or more) under the authority of Jesus Christ to freely exercise His authority in our midst. By practricing the domion of the free, in essence our relationships and associations being governed by us according to God’s righteous standards of love and truth, we experience Christian freedom.

This kind of freedom, as opposed to the libertine “freedom” which the world offers, cannot be imposed on others and while it truly must inform how we conduct ourselves in ALL areas, even who and what we vote for, it is not a “political” thing, it is essentially spiritual. Spiritual trumps and has power over the physical, the world of the flesh and of linear reality. This kind of freedom must be understood, embraced, and practiced in order to be experienced. It does not depend on and is not defined by legal status or politics in general.

Even oppresssed people who are unjustly denied their civic rights of participation can still obtain such freedom in Christ and can practice that freedom. God Himself is their provider and their protector and, ultimately, their unjust treatment will evike a response from God on their behallf.

Where such freedomer, CAN be practiced openly and without real hindrance and yet people fail to practice it, but, rather, where such peoplle choose to trade in Christian freedom for worldly libertinism, it is inevitable that they will lose ALL other forms of freedom which flow from the spiritual freedom in Christ that has been rejected. In short, if we fail to exercise our spiritual freedom in Christ we will LOSE all other forms of freedom!

North Korea’s Newest Kim

Kim Jong Un Replaces Kim Jong Il- Hawkish 29 Year Old Rules North Korea

The portly, competitive, and self-absorbed heir of Kim Jong Il, who breathed his last on the 17^th or 18^th of December, is a son of privilege who went to private schools in Switzerland and who is known in many circles to be rather hawkish with regards to North Korea’s foreign policy. Kim Jong Un does not have the experience to lead a troop of window washers let alone a nation, but his petulant fingers will control North Korea’s nuclear weapons. (more…)

Reports- US Forces In Jordan

W R Collier Jr December 13, 2011

US Troops Reported In Jordan

We are seeing numerous unconfirmed reports that US forces are inside of Jordan at this hour, but their intentions and their planned length of stay is not known.

While some reports claim that US forces are deployed opposite of the Syrian border with Jordan to forestall Syrian forays into the Hashemite Kingdom, other possibilities are far less ominous.

When the US went to war against Iraq, American forces transited through Jordan from Aqaba and some deployed to help with Iraqi refugees.

This may be what is happening now US forces may be transiting in reverse, from Iraq via Jordan to the port of Aqaba. Additionally, US forces may be helping with Syrian refugees.

If, however, US forces have deployed to Jordan to defend against a possible Syrian incursion, this would violate the spirit and letter of the War Powers act, placing US forces in potential combat zones without even a nod towards Congress. This would prove controversial in the extreme, especially in today’s political climate.

If US forces have deployed from Iraq to Jordan to stave off a potential Syrian move it would most likely be the result of some form of substantiated intelligence. The Syrian regime is still smarting over an incursion of Syrian protestors into Jordan who attacked their embassy in Amman and may also be targeting refugees with operatives who infiltrate the Syrian refugee camps in Jordan. The threat, therefore, may be more covert than overt and merely having US forces “pause” en route to Aqaba could be enough.

Other possibilities, however, include a potential positioning of forces for a new Libya-like intervention should the opposition in Syria materialize into a cohesive force that can take and hold territory. The “no-fly zone” approach has been used with telling effect against Serbia, Saddam Hussein, and Qhadafi. US ground forces would prevent an incursion into Jordan and could even protect Iraq, whose government is alarmed at the possibility of being flooded with Syrian refugees.

The transiting of US troops out of Iraq through Jordan makes perfect sense however it is possible that this could be a good cover for other purposes as well.

Occupiers Target US Ports- Progressive Socialist Sedition Targets THE END OF AMERICA

W R Collier Jr December 12, 2011

Socialist Occupiers Wage War On America- Bill Collier- Radical Progressive anti-capitalists are targeting US ports on the west coast with street actions in the hope of provoking a police response and creating unsafe working conditions which the Unions can use as an excuse to stop work in the ports. The Occupiers, who want to implement a Soviet-style one-party state in America, are backed by radicalized front groups, like the local teacher’s union in Oakland, California, in their bid to replace capitalism with state-controlled economic planning.

Ports along the west coast are bracing for a promised onslaught of Progressive socialist sedition which many fear will lead to violence. The Occupiers have engaged in violence in cities throughout America leading to injuries of law enforcement officers and even rapes and murders within their illegal encampments. The socialist sedition, if successful, would plunge the US into a massive depression, which could turn out millions of angry workers who the Progressive socialist Occupiers believe they can then recruit for their world-wide socialist revolution.

The agenda of the Progressive socialist agitators is to impose a “sexual liberation” that distracts people from the loss of their far more important economic, cultural, religious, and political freedoms as they impose a Soviet style one-party state once they have seized power. The Occupiers, unlike the Progressives in the Democratic party, favor immediate revolution while the Democrats favor a slow-motion “revolution by subversion”. As more and more Americans are waking up to the reality of, and getting angry about, this radical anti-freedom agenda the Occupiers are looking for a way to quickly finish their revolution before the Progressives lose even more ground during the next election cycle.

The Occupiers are using the rhetoric of populism, much as many authoritarian regimes in the past and present have (including the Mullahs of Iran, Hugo Chavez, Lenin, Franco of Spain, Mao, and even Hitler’s “National Socialist German Worker’s Party”). Their proposal for solving “injustice” by “corporations” is to totally transfer power away from the corporations to the state, under the guise that they are transferring power to “the People.”

The waging of economic war against these United States is an act of sedition, however, the present American Administration is not likely to label this sedition as such because the Democratic Party is actively seeking to co-opt or channel the radical energy of the Occupiers into support for Democratic candidates during 2012, a fact that this front party for American radical Progressive socialists seems to want to conceal from the majority of voters who reject the socialist ideology which is at the heart of Progressivism.

The emergence of a true Worker’s Freedom Movement which stands up for the rights and interests of workers, as well as their values and beliefs, without compromising our national commitment to a free market and a constitutionally limited form of self-government, is the only viable alternative to Unions that have become purely ideological, in favor of state-control over the economy in the NAME of the workers, and which reflect the corrupt moral depravity of a small minority of God-hating, America-hating secular humanists who seek to impose an atheistic, amoral lifestyle on America (beginning with our children) while forcing any kind of morality that has a religious genesis into the “closet”.

The Occupiers wish to recolonize America with a caesaristic old-world ideology of state-control over the economy that gives people “sexual freedom” at the expense of REAL freedom. Their waging of economic war on America’s ports is not likely to be responded to in a proportional manner, with under-armed and under-staffed police forces being sent against groups of seditionists who want to destroy America itself as part of their ideology for a world-wide socialist revolution.

Some of the Unions, however, may be seeing in this effort a really bad “jump the shark” moment which, far from shutting down ports and winning more powers for the state-controlled economy, will only harden public sentiment against Progressivism, hurt Democrats at the polls, and cause their members to be out of work, and this all for little real gain.

Regardless of the outcome, the Occupiers are determined that NOW is the time to implement a Progressive socialist revolution and destroy America as a union of popular and democratic republics while creating, in its place, a union of soviet socialist “republics” with Washington DC as the national capital and planning center for the state-controlled economy.

State Senate Race In Illinois Garners National Attention- Lennie Jarratt

W R Collier Jr December 9, 2011

In the 31^st State Senate District in Illinois Lennie Jarratt’s bid to be the new State Senator is getting national attention among rank and file conservative activists. Jarratt, a long-time proven fighter for conservative causes and values, has won the admiration and support of many of his peers as a faithful defender of freedom for all against the encroachment of big brother government.

Jarrat’s own story in private and public employment as well as in his own business, providing web design services, is a typical American story these days- an honest, hard-working citizen whose greatest obstacles seem to be the big brother government policies coming from Washington DC and Springfield Illinois. When Jarratt learned that his bank would get more money, thanks to government policies, to foreclose on him after an 11 month period of unemployment than to settle with him, his thoughts turned to the thousands of other citizens in Illinois who were probably facing the same problem, with NO help or support from their elected officials.

Jarrat’s campaign motto is “Supporting Families, Not Government” and this sets the tone for his whole campaign, a campaign that has been endorsed by Illinois Conservatives and is lauded on many national conservative blogs and websites.

Some of Jarratt’s stances include:

Pro Family

The family is the basic unit of our society and it must be preserved. Income tax hikes, property tax hikes and the continual raising of fees are sapping the hard earned money from the families and businesses of Illinois.

Property Taxes

Lake County has the highest property taxes in the Midwest and the 14th highest in the country according to Forbes magazine. Budgets are shrinking, yet taxing bodies never stop increasing these taxes. Families should not be squeezed any more. It is time to restore fiscal sanity to Springfield and reform this state sanctioned local tax.

Income Taxes

Illinois is currently is in the 48th worst financial position*. The 66% tax increase on individuals and 45% increase on the companies that drive our economy caused unemployment to rise to 10%.

Foreclosures

1 in 295 Lake County homes received foreclosure filings in September. In October, the rate climbed to 1 in 271. There are over 2500 active cases in the courts here in Lake County, of which mine is one. I too am living the reality of bad tax and spend policies destroying the jobs families rely on.

Education

Education is the key to the future. All children deserve access to a quality education to unlock their door to excel. We need to empower parents to be able to better direct their child’s education, be it public school, private school, charter school, home school, or other alternatives. The parents know their child best.

Honest Government

Every citizen has the right to expect open and honest government. We should never have to pay a corruption tax as the price of government graft and back room dealings.

Pro 2nd Amendment

It’s simple, the right to bear arms is enshrined in our Constitution and it should not be infringed upon.

Aside from his stance on particular issues, the Freedomist has found him to be capable, credible, honest, a man of his word, and consistently reliable. Often people give lip service to these things, make great promises, do little, and THEN insist on getting credit and glory for things they did not actually do! Lennie has often done more than he says he will while often letting others “get the glory” who did much less, and that without complaint.

But while Jarratt may have earned a good reputation, which explains some of the interest in his candidacy among national activists, there are other reasons for this interest.

Jarrat’s district, the 31^st State Senate District, is in the region of northern Chicago and many conservatives believe that a Jarratt win here would prove that running on a conservative platform is in fact a “mainstream” value, contrary to the Karl Roves of the GOP who insist that one has to be center-left (what they call “moderate” or even “independent”) to win elections.

These two schools of thought, one that says that candidates can run on conservative values and win voters over and the other that assumes the media’s view of “mainstream” is the right view that candidates need to conform to, are looking at the 31^st State Senate District as a bell-weather for the validity of their approach.

While polls have not been conducted in the district, Jarrat’s involvement in helping dozens of local conservative candidates win elections over the past 4 years seems to indicate that creating a solid “ground game” will not be a problem for his campaign, even if his financial war chest is not on par with the establishment candidates GOP progressives will run against him.

That being said, more and more conservative activists are going to http://www.lenniejarratt.com/donate/ to donate “$20.11” to help Jarrat’s campaign round out 2011 with a god-sized financial war chest.

What Motivates Mitt Romney?

W R Collier Jr December 9, 2011

By Bill Collier- Mitt Romney desperately wants to be President but WHY?

Often people who want to be President are motivated in one of four ways- they are on a power-mad ego trip, they are inspired by a cause or ideology, they have a hidden agenda, or they are being propped up as a front-person for hidden forces.

When considering a candidate one always looks for one of, or a combination of, these four motives. With our current President, whose behavior comes across to some as rather Quisling and Ahab-like, betraying America’s core values and discarding morality and ethics, it appears that he may be a front-man for hidden forces and he has a hidden agenda but that he is also on a power-mad ego trip.

President Obama’s conceited tendency to couch everything he does as “good for America” while attacking all who disagree as “putting politics ahead of the country” may in fact be a classic Freudian slip. The reality is that President Obama is doing what he thinks is best for his ideology, for his allies, and for his globalist/progressive agenda, even if that is, objectively speaking, bad for America’s economy, culture, or security.

So what is Romney’s core motivation?

Prior to 2007 he was worse than a “RINO”, he was an outright Progressive! He implemented socialized medicine in his state, he acquiesced on gay marriage, he was staunchly pro-abortion, and was generally in tune with all of Progressivism’s tenets. His Mormon faith might have informed him for all those years that he was a member of one church that his values were skewed, but when it came to politics Romney checked his faith at the door.

To this day, Romney does not deny that global warming is man-made, a “fact” that most freedom-minded people are highly suspicious of because this claim usually precedes a call for radical government control over people’s lives.

Now Romney is claiming to have had a change of heart, but since 2007 Romney has scrupulously avoided wading into any controversy and when fellow-conservatives have been attacked he has stayed on the sidelines. When people like Bachman and Palin were going after egregious offenses by the progressives in power all these past 4 years since Romney’s “conversion”, the “former” Progressive said and did nothing.

All through the past four years Romney has not taken any stands for any conservative cause or issue, unless it would help his campaign, and he has not helped any candidate, as his rivals have all done. If Romney hasn’t made any gaffs or foolish choices in the past four years it is because he has never taken any leadership role for any candidate, cause, or issue not directly related to his own campaign.

While his opponents were publicly exclaiming against progressive policies like cap and trade, stimulus bailouts, gay marriage, and more, Romney was quietly but earnestly raising money with insider fact-cats and staying mute!

Those who question Romney’s “conversion” can rightfully ask “what price has Romney ever been willing to pay for a principled stand?” His career has always been characterized as one big “conflict avoidance” journey. Did he take a principled stand in business, as governor, or as a candidate that actually cost him something personal?

One can hardly see a man whose political training occurred in an extremely progressive-dominated state, where one’s choices were moderate progressivism versus radical progressivism, to NOT fall back on those habits if he is ever in power again.

Romney’s behavior is very Progressive. He won’t debate if Donald Trump moderates, but he’s happy to have the journolist media moderate a debate. He mischaracterize his opponent’s stances and vilifies them through proxies, with media complicity, but he won’t admit when he is caught red-handed changing his tune on his socialized medicine scheme’s similarity with ObamaCare.

Romney’s attacks on Gingrich may in fact be backfiring, if one reads conservative blogs right:

Romney brings out big guns, shoots self in foot (Romney imploding)

Romney is losing it. His coordinated assault on Newt does not make the case for Romney.

And it’s embarrassing. Romney brought out former Congressman and former Senator Jim Talent to bash Newt’s leadership as Speaker. Talent forgets that the internet has a long memory, and that Talent supported Newt for Speaker of the House even after the issues Talent now complains about were raised:

Old Quote from Talent: Allegiance comes from Rep. Jim Talent, R-Mo., who says, “I intend to support the speaker”

As I mentioned last night, bringing John Sununu to the rescue just reminds us of the appointment of David Souter and the breaking of George H.W. Bush’s “no new taxes” pledge, in both of which Sununu played an instrumental role as Chief of Staff.

—————————

It would seem that Romney, while he is no Obama, is a moderate progressive who has a hidden agenda that he conceals behind his new-found conservative rhetoric. It would also seem that for Romney the real motive is power while he is being propped up financially by the insider Republican progressives.

What is also clear is that when it comes to the issues and values of GOP primary voters Romney has not ever been willing to pay any price to stand up for them.

Obama Hoisted On His Own Petard

W R Collier Jr December 1, 2011

Will Occupiers Turn On Their Master?
Progressives’ Manufactured “Revolutions” Backfires

When shadowy bigwigs want to take down a popular resistance movement, like the Tea Party, they usually sponsor their own mob to fling at the opposition. The problem with flinging mobs at your enemy is that mobs can see their former sponsors as their enemy and turn on them.

On the northwest corner of 53rd Street and 7th Avenue, in view of the Sheraton hotel in New York City, a groups of 100 or so ultra progressive extremists who want a socialist worker’s paradise NOW started an “action” that President Obama may have been surprised by.

As the progressive President arrived at around 9 PM the uber-radical vanguard his team thought might reinvigorate his base like the Tea Party did for the other side turned its guns on him. Signs proclaimed:

Obama Is A Corporate Puppet
Sold Out
War Crimes Need Persecuting, No Matter Who Does Them

One of the organizers lamented that Obama was going to get money from “the richest of the rich.”

Obama’s visit to New York has been marked by controversies and irony. He allegedly came to New York for the lighting of the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Plaza, but he is snarling traffic on an epic scale to attend numerous fundraisers for extremely wealthy donors. Rudi Guilliani criticized Obama’s segway from nice public event to money-grubbing politicking.

The irony of this was not lost on the Occupiers- little people’s lives were severely inconvenienced so that Obama could get big bucks from the very same wealthy people both he and the Occupiers were vilifying.

It’s not certain that the whole movement, largely “sponsored” by legacy, but often covert, radical progressive organizations will turn completely on its master and become a source of trouble from Obama’s left flank, but the first signs of potentially losing control of the mob they sought to fling against the Tea Party may have already emerged.

Intolerable Acts For November 5, 2011

W R Collier Jr November 5, 2011

Ventura Says Adios to US
‘I will never stand for national anthem again. I will turn my back and I will raise fist’, Jesse Ventura. The atheist and “truther” said this after a Federal Judge tossed out his lawsuit against airport security measures. Ventura is moving to Mexico where, as a foreigner, he will not be allowed to own land or even comment at ALL on Mexican politics.

WHITE HOUSE REJECTS SOLYNDRA SUBPOENA..
Obama and his staff at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might prefer to go outside the Constitution by using regulatory powers and executive order to effectively legislate from the Oval Office, but when it suits them they will use the Constitution. Now they want to hide from scrutiny the internal goings-on about the botched Solyndra deal citing “separation of powers” and “executive privilege.”

GIULIANI: Obama ‘owns Wall Street movement’.. ‘Will take down his presidency’…
Rudi isn’t pulling any punches and he predicts that as the “Occupiers” show us more and more of their proverbial backsides Obama and company will regret embracing them. We have called for Resisting the Occupiers, predicting that only a solid, peaceful counter protest by the Tea Party will ensure that this doesn’t get out of control. To date our appeals to Tea Party leaders and groups have been ignored or rejected and the Occupiers are waxing worse and worse.
It might be good politics to let the other side show its proverbial backside in living color, but it’s not necessarily good for the country.

BREAKING- Andy Rooney Is No Longer An Atheist
The progressive funny man, pundit, and God-hater who was given an open mic by CBS for many decades has finally discovered something that isn’t too funny- that, yes Virginia, there is a God. We hope sincerely that he made his peace with God before he discovered this truth.

Gen X’er Thinks His Generation Sucks?
Dean Malik is a nice enough guy, but when he rips into my generation, well, it’s time for a food fight!
Malik (who writes here http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/11/a_gen-x_perspective_on_our_nations_decline.html) seems to think that Gen X’ers don’t appreciate hard work and didn’t have any great accomplishments.
It was Gen X’ers who manned the US military during its peak under Reagan and who directly contributed to the ending of the Cold War.
I served in the Navy at the tip of the spear hunting (finding) Soviet subs and helping to keep them bottled up in the North Sea.
As for history, Gen X’ers are among the leaders of the Tea Party and I was there, when the Tea Party was #dontgo and #tcot and many of us all threw in our support and effort to help give birth to the greatest political movement in modern history. Sarah Palin, one of the strongest pro-life and pro-America voices around, is a Gen X’er!
Todd Beamer and many of the passengers that sacrificed their lives in Shanksville PA were Gen X’ers!

Israel Prepares For War

W R Collier Jr November 3, 2011

Willia R Collier Jr.- On All Fronts Israel Faces Pan-Islamic Aggression– Even as the Israeli left gears up to demand hand-outs while opposing a strong defense against the Pan-Islamic aggression being aimed at Israel, the Prime Minister wants to prepare for a war for Israel's survival.

The main threat is coming from Iran, both in the form of its nuclear ambitions and its constant support for Pan-Islamic aggression through the Arab occupiers of Judea, Samaria, eastern Jerusalem, and Gaza. These Arab occupiers want to forge another Pan-Islamic state on the carcass of a dismembered and shrunken Israel, stealing the lands of the Jews as they often do of their neighbors, including Egypt, Kurdistan, Lebanon, and Assyria.

Israeli preparations for war include, as we have already noted, possible sub-launched missile attacks, land-born missile attacks, and, potentially, material support for anti-regime forces in Iran. The Israeli cabinet, after a wrangling debate, authorized the use of force, including ground operations, against pan-Islamic rocket and mortar attacks emanating from Gaza. Recently, an Israeli man was killed in a rocket attacks while dozens of rockets have damaged property and caused minor injuries throughout the area around Gaza.

Meanwhile, as Jewish citizens seek to build homes on their own land, the Obama Administratoin, continuing to demonstrate its sympathies with the an-Islamic forces, railed against Israel calling new building in so-called "occupied" territory "unproductive". (NOTE: Judea and Samaria are considered to be "occupied" by Jews, when in fact the Arabs are the occupiers.)

The Obama Administration is seeking to suppress any Israeli counter-strike against Iran, despite Iran's efforts to become a nuclear power and despite its promises to "wipe Israel off the map." It is apparent that President Obama secretly harbors a deep-seated hatred of Israel and the Jewish people that he is afraid, if discovered, will result in a loss of support by the Jewish community who continue, despite the anti-Semitic nature of the Democrat Party, to support Democrats.

All signs have been pointing to a potential Israeli first strike, however the division of the Israeli polity by their leftist elements who are more concerned with hand-outs and who are willing to surrender Judea and Samaria in a bid to win peace (the "land for peace" agenda), is undermining the Government's efforts. Leftists are opposed to any pre-emptive strike fearing further retaliation by their Arab neighbors.
Even so, it is considered highly possible that the Israeli government which, despite the loud left, enjoy a majority support, will feel compelled to strike at Iran before it is too late.

Rumors abound that the US and the UK are pondering military action as well, however the latent anti-Semitism of the US President makes this highly improbable.
