The
Churchill Society
LondonFrontispieceWhat is the use of living
if it be not to strive for noble causes
and to make this muddled world a better place
for those who will live in it after we are gone? Winston Churchill
Dundee, October 9th, 1908.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Sir Winston Churchill were cut from the same cloth. They were both wise leaders that tried to avoid war but were forced into war.
My favorite quote of Sir Winston Churchill is as follows;
“IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH HELL, KEEP GOING !”
FDR’s quote was regarding the “Great Depression” (heading)
Both men sought peace but were forced into war.
I know that many people on our planet are going through HELL. Countless people are struggling to cope with grief and sorrow. Nearly everyone has been forced into feelings of vulnerability. Feeling vulnerable creates emotional fear. Fear is a mind killer. Fear clouds our thoughts and fear is a primal instinct. Fear overrides our rational thought process. It is a survival instinct. Fight or flight, kill or be killed, and those emotions / instincts help to keep us alive.
My initial plan in writing this post today was going to be a negative post about the ANTI- VACCINATION PEOPLE. I even considered making comments like, ” at least it is the stupid non vaccinated people who are mostly dying.” I talked to my wife about it last night and she just told me, “that is not what people need to hear right now.” So I slept on it last night and she was correct. The unvaccinated and ANTI-VAXERS are enduring a basic Primal Fear Response. They do not know who to trust and there is so much “Bull Shit” information floating around it should be little wonder that there are millions of people world wide that are confused. There are the conspiracy theorists and micro chips and mind control motivations. SO THEY ARE AFRAID ! WELL, MOST OF THE PLANET IS AFRAID ! After hearing about the ability of the virus to mutate over and over, it is FRIGHTENING !
NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS ! If you are a “spiritual” person of any faith, and if you believe in the concept of a “soul” as I do, souls do not die. Only the creator of the universe can destroy a soul. So if a person believes in reincarnation or resurrection, I believe with all my heart and soul that we will be reunited with our loved ones. But for those of us that are here, we need to work on our own Karma, and faith and confidence in the Almighty Creator of the Universe. I hate tests !
BUT THIS ALL IS A TEST ! WE ARE BEING TESTED ! WHO ARE WE ? WHO ARE YOU ? AND WHO AM I ?
I AM JUST A DUMB GUY TRYING TO MAKE HEADS OR TAILS OF IT ALL !
I KNOW THAT POSITIVE ENERGY IS WHAT WE NEED TO GIVE TO EACH OTHER. WE NEED TO BE KIND TO EACH OTHER.
SORRY, that’s all I’ve got,

IT IS NOT MY INTENTION TO RAIN ON ANYBODY’S PARADE, HOWEVER, THE DATE OF DECEMBER 25TH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BIRTH OF JESUS. DECEMBER 25TH ON THE OLD ROMAN CALANDER WAS THE WINTER SOLSTICE. THE WINTER SOLSTICE IS THE SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR AND A DATE THAT THE ROMANS CELEBRATED LIKE IT WAS 1999 ! THEY CELEBRATED BECAUSE THE DAYS WOULD START GETTING LONGER. = MORE DAY LIGHT TIME ! IT WAS A DATE WHEN CHRISTIANS COULD GATHER IN NUMBERS WITHOUT BEING IDENTIFED AS CHRISTIANS. IT WAS A ROMAN HOLIDAY. IT WAS A GOOD SAFE COVER THAT ALLOWED CHRISTIANS TO AVOID BECOMING PURINA LION CHOW.
ALSO ISRAEL AT THIS TIME OF YEAR IS VERY COLD ! IT IS HIGHLY DOUBTFUL THAT SHEPHERDS WERE OUT WITH THEIR FLOCKS DURING THE WINTER TIME IN ISRAEL. IT SEEMS MORE LIKELY THAT JESUS WAS BORN SOMETIME DURING THE SPRING.
I DID READ ABOUT THIS IN A BOOK ONCE WRITTEN BY HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG. HE WAS THE HEAD OF THE “WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF G-D” THAT IS LOCATED IN PASADENA , CALIFORNIA. I ONCE WAS IN PASADENA, CALIFORNIA TAKING MY CONTRACTORS LICENSE TEST AND IT HAPPENED TO BE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THAT CHURCH. WHEN I FINISHED MY EXAMINATION, I WALKED ACROSS THE STREET WEARING SOME BEAT UP OLD 501 LEVI’S AND A WORKSHIRT AND BOOTS. I ASKED AT THE CHURCH OFFICE WHEN I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HEAR HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG SPEAK IN PERSON ? I HAD ONLY OBSERVED HIM A FEW TIMES ON A WEEKLY TELEVISION SHOW. I WAS ASKED TO WAIT. A MAN SHOWED UP IMPECABLY DRESSED AND LOOKED ME UP ONE SIDE AND DOWN THE OTHER. IT WAS CLEAR HE DID NOT APPROVE OF MY 501 LEVI STRAUSS BLUE JEANS, or my BOOTS or my glue smattered SHIRT. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT TO HEAR MR. ARMSTRONG SPEAK IN PERSON, I WOULD NEED TO BE A TITHING MEMBER OF THE CONGREGATION. HE SNUBBED ME. I GUESS HE MISSED THE PART ABOUT “NOT JUDGING A MAN BY HIS CLOTHES”. MY GREATEST MENTOR DRESSED LIKE A BUM ! HE WAS WORTH MILLIONS ! HE WAS WISE AND I TRIED TO SOAK UP AS MUCH OF HIS KNOWLEDGE AS I COULD. I WAS WITH HIM ONCE IN A STORE AND SOMEONE TREATED HIM THE SAME WAY.
THE SALESPERSON SAID TO MY MENTOR THAT HE PROBABLY COULD NOT AFFORD ANYTHING IN THE STORE. MY MENTOR LOOKED THE GUY “SQUARELY” IN THE EYES AND SAID: HOW ABOUT I JUST BUY THIS STORE SO I CAN FIRE YOU ? AND HE MEANT IT ! THE MAN APOLOGIZED.
HE WAS THE WISEST MAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN.
I ALSO SAW A PRESENTATION AT THE GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY IN GRIFFITH PARK, CALIFORNIA. THEY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO RUN THE ORBITS OF PLANETS IN REVERSE. THEY SPECULATED THAT THERE WAS A “CONVERGENCE” OF THREE PLANETS AT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, IN THE SAME YEAR, “NEAR” THAT SPECULATIVE BIRTH DATE. SO PERHAPS THAT WAS WHAT THE SHEPHERDS SAW WHEN THEY SAW A “SIGN” IN THE HEAVENS. WHEN AN ASTRONOMER SAYS “NEAR”….
IT COULD MEAN MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS .
NOBODY KNOWS WHEN JESUS WAS BORN. QUESTION…WHY IS IT EVEN IMPORTANT ? I DO NOT KNOW. I DO NOT THINK IT IS RELEVENT TO THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS. THE DATE OF CHRISTMAS IS PHONEY. THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS ARE NOT PHONEY.

As our world population GROWS and the amount of available good land never does, many peoples and countries want to rewrite the rules. G-D is not making any more land right now. ( Not here on earth anyway !) Any person is capable of going back on their WORD under terrible circumstances. Yet we want to hold G-D to his word !
Somewhere in the Scriptures it ASKS :
” WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD BUT LOSES HIS SOUL ? “
I WOULD BET HARD MONEY THAT THERE IS A SIMILAR PASSAGE IN THE ” QUARAN/KORAN .
I HAD A OLD AND SMALL KORAN THAT I INHERITED. IT BELONGED TO A ENGLISH MINISTER ATTACHED TO THE ENGLISH ARMY WITH THE FAMILY NAME “PRYOR”. He served in the middle east. I READ IT FOR A WHILE. AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS, IT JUST DISAPPEARED. IT MAY BE SITTING IN A BOX IN CALIFORNIA. THAT’S OK.
I WILL FIND A NEW ONE SOMEDAY. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THE GROUND OF OUR PLANET HAS SOAKED UP ENOUGH Of OUR STUPID BLOOD. WHEN I SAY “OUR” STUPID BLOOD” I MEAN ALL OF US !!
WE ARE “ALL A BUNCH OF DUMB MONKEYS”. ALL OF US ! ! WE CAN FLY TO THE STARS BUT WE CAN’T SOLVE OUR OWN LITTLE PROBLEMS ON OUR OWN LITTLE PLANET.
ISN’T IT BLATANTLY OBVIOUS WHY WE ARE NOT BEING CONTACTED BY EXTRATERRESTIAL LIFE ?
WE ARE SIMILAR TO CHILDREN IN A ROWBOAT PLAYING WITH HAND GRENADES !!
IT IS TIME FOR THE WORLDS ADULTS TO RESPECT EACH OTHER AND RESPECT EACH OTHERS SPIRITUAL BELIEFS.
G-D DOES NOT CARE IF WE DON’T LIKE EACH OTHER BUT…. WE MUST RESPECT EACH OTHER !
I DON'T THINK GOD IS UPSET WITH ANYBODY THAT DOES NOT BELIEVE IN HIS EXISTENCE.!!
I ALSO DO NOT BELIEVE THAT G-D MINDS IF YOU CALL OUR CREATOR….
BUDDA, ALLAH, YAWEH OR CLEM KADITTLEHOPPER !
OUR PETTY DIFFERENCES ARE JUST SO PATHETIC !
IS THERE ANY PERSON ALIVE THAT BELIEVES IN G-D AND ALSO BELIEVES THAT G-D WANTS HIS CREATION TO FAIL ???
WE ARE MISSING SOMETHING. SOME SCIENTISTS ARE PREDICTING THAT THE MUTATIONS OF THE PLAGUE WILL ALWAYS BE AHEAD OF US AND THAT MANKIND MAY WELL NEED TO ADAPT TO THAT REALITY IN PERPETUITY ! I BELIEVE THAT “PRAYER” MAY WELL BE THE ONLY ANSWER. I BELIEVE THAT OUR CREATOR IS COMMUNICATING WITH US BUT WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE. WE NEED TO PRAY FOR DEVINE INTERVENTION IN ERNEST. MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF BELIEVE THAT THE PLAGUE COULD BE IRRADICATED BY OUR CREATOR WITH JUST A WAVE OF HIS HAND. WE ARE HIS CREATION AND IF HE CHOOSES TO KNOCK DOWN THE SAND CASTLE AND START OVER, HE ANSWERS TO NOBODY !! WE HAVE HIS ATTENTION AND WE TRUELY ARE ** IN THE HANDS OF G-D ** LET US PRAY THAT HE DOES NOT START CLAPPING !!!
AGAIN and AGAIN I say….WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT !! OUR CREATOR IS TEACHING US to LISTEN TO HIS MESSAGE. HIS MESSAGE IS OBVIOUS AND IT IS EVERYWHERE ON THIS PLANET. I BELIEVE… WORLD PEACE WILL PACIFY OUR CREATOR. AM I DELUSIONAL ??
Yes?……..No?……..Maybe?…….. time will tell.

Remember when we all thought it was a little bit funny that X-President TRUMP on television suggested to Dr. BIRKS that the medical establishment should try “shining lights inside the human body” and also injecting people with different antiseptic liquids ? Dr. Birks sat quietly and politely in her chair and “cringed”. I felt badly for her. I admit to laughing when I heard “then” President Donald Trump babel. I really did think it was VERY funny. That was at the beginning of our pandemic. None of us are laughing now ! There are good reasons why we should not elect fools to be our Presidents. This one slipped through. Having “money” does not always reflect “wisdom”. However, there are wise people in the world that do control vast wealth and use that wealth/power to move the world. This pandemic we are witnessing was avoidable. There is a reason no airline passengers want the “obnoxious drunk guy” at the back of the airplane to be flying the plane.
I am perpetually baffled when I see Gov. Ron Desantis of Florida and other Governors and Politicians maintaining a stance against mandatory vaccinations !!! I watch a lot of NEWS (mostly CNN) and here is my best rational for MANDATORY VACCINATIONS. I have seen multiple heads of ICU Units, (Intensive Care units) with beds FULL UP with UNVACCINATED COVID patients sucking on ventilators trying to get oxygen to their lungs and body. Many were still able to speak. Some were silently passing away. The heads of those ICU units said that 100% of those people REGRET not getting vaccinated. That should be enough proof for anyone! Ron Desantis and any sideshow Preachers or Ministers that tell their flocks NOT to get vaccinated, are guilty of MURDER !
“Herd Immunity” is just that. We are THE HERD ! MAYBE WE SHOULD START DARTING PEOPLE WITH VACCINES THE WAY THEY USE AIR RIFLES WITH TRANQUILIZERS ON WILD ANIMALS ! I HAVE BEEN AROUND CATTLE ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT SICK COWS HAVE TO BE CUT OUT OF THE HERD IN ORDER TO GET THEM HEALTHY AND TO KEEP THE OTHER COWS FROM BEING EXPOSED AND GETTING SICK. IN THIS SITUATION, WE NEED TO SEPERATE THE JERK- ASSES FROM THE REST OF THE HERD…FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF OUR HERD.

1……..When I found a box of expensive silk ties that I shipped to myself over 4 years ago….but wondered WHY ? I now use them as tie-downs but out of respect, I only tie them with FULL WINDSOR KNOTS !
2)…….When washing the dishes and cleaning the house and yard are now FUN !
3)……..When I no longer was irritated by STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, simply because there is no STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.
4)……..When I am in town and people I have never met, say hello to me and wave and call me by name or shake my hand.
5)……. When I feel guilty for feeling wonderful because of all of the unnecessary pain and suffering in the world.
6)……. I knew I was in paradise…………. WHEN I STOPPED SEARCHING FOR IT !

SO OK, I THOUGHT OF A COUPLE THINGS I NEED TO ADD AND MAYBE THEN I CAN BE DONE. I WAS RUDE TO RABBI “WHAT’S HIS NAME” SO IF I EVER MEET HIM I WILL APOLOGIZE.
#1-SO, I SAID EARLIER IN MY BLOG THAT I WOULD NEVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ALLAH OR ISLAM OR MUHAMMAD. I DID AND I REGRET ONLY THAT I DID NOT ADD THAT GOD GAVE MUHAMMAD THE BOOK AND THE SWORD “AND” FATIMA ( the bloodline of Muhammad.) I forgot that and I sincerely apologize to any Sheite Moslems that I may have offend by not respectfully remembering the daughter of Muhammad.
#2- Forget the cost of human lives just for one minute. Can you imagine the total cost of all the ordinance that has been bombarded on Israel and on Gaza over the decades ? How many nice little houses and what a incredible water system could have been put in Gaza. How many nice little houses could have been built in Israel with all that money? Why don’t we buy our way out of this mess ? We could build homes for families and teach them trades other than how to kill each other. I am confident that many wealthy Islamic countries would participate in that kind of program ! If someone attacks their neighboring country, they lose their new little house. My x-Friend Rabbi actually put the idea in my head . Give people a safe place to sleep and a safe place for their spouse and kids, I think they just might see the light !
#3 The Pope is not going to just Pop in to Israel UNINVITED ! SOMEBODY NEEDS TO ASK HIM TO COME. HE HAS TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION IF WE WANT THIS TO BE A MULTI NATIONAL GLOBAL PROJECT. WE ARE SPENDING TRILLIONS ON SPACE EXPLORATION. FOR WHAT ? MAYBE IF WE QUIT BUTCHERING EACH OTHER, MAYBE THEY WILL COME TO US AND SAY HELLO. IT IS BECOMMING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO “NOT” BELIEVE IN SUPERIOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELIGENCE. WE DON’T NEED TO GO TO THEM. THEY KNOW WHERE WE ARE. MAYBE ONE REASON FOR THE LACK OF DIRECT CONTACT IS OUR BAD BEHAVIOR WITH EACH OTHER.
just a thought- marc
FOLLOWING IS A COMMUNICATION I HAD TODAY WITH RABBI MOSHE KERR
I just sent the below to a Rabbi friend in Israel just now.
Rabbi Kerr, it is dawn where I am and I just had a waking dream and walked straight to my computer to send this message to you. The sun has not peaked over the horizon yet. My dream was about the story of David and Goliath.
Today, Israel is the GOLIATH and the Palestinians are the ones throwing rocks. God favors the poor and weak.
MOSES gave THE LAW to Israel. MUHAMMAD gave the SWORD and the BOOK to Islam. WE ALL HAVE BUT ONE GOD and he does speak to different peoples in different ways. I fear now for the Palestinians and for Israel.
I believe that NOW it is the time for PEACE AND CALM and a time for Islamic Clerics and Orthodox Jews to call for calm and to meet and pray together to our GOD. ISRAEL MUST BURY THE HATCHET AND THE HATRED OR THE HATRED WILL BURY EVERYONE. Today the Palestinians are the DAVID !! ISRAEL AND PALESTINE ARE ON THE EDGE OF A CLIFF AND BENEATH IS A PIT. I SAW CALAMITY ON A HORRIFIC SCALE IN MY DREAM. LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE !! THE POPE IS CALLING FOR CALM !! OUT OF THE ASHES !!!!! LET HIM HELP ! ISRAEL, ISLAM AND CHRISTENDOM CAN EITHER LIVE TOGETHER IN PEACE OR ……………….
That’s all I saw. I am having cancer surgery soon so I can’t come and help. I can’t help anyway. I am just a dreamer and a washed up cabinet maker. good luck
