I have the pleasure to announce that during March, I’ll be displaying my fine-art photography prints at Jitters Coffee House in Eagle River, Alaska — “Where Coffee is an Art.” Their coffee really is excellent!
Here is a write-up on the coffee house:
From: kaylene.us…
Coffee Shop Chronicles
I walked into Jitters for the first time on a cold February night in 1994. I was met at the door with the deep aroma of freshly ground coffee. Inside, the old pub feel of the mahogany bar offered a sense of warmth and welcome. Older folks chatted quietly at vintage wooden tables, while younger people played Scrabble. A few book lovers wrapped themselves in a cup of java and a good read. Jitters was clearly a multi-generational place to gather. And I thought to myself, “This is what community looks like.”
And here is a bio of Jitters’ owner, Dennis Johnson and overview of his gallery/gift shop, next door.
This should be fun! This is my debut!
By the way, none of the photos I’ll be displaying have been posted on the web. Perhaps I’ll give a little online preview before the show.

Yesterday, I was again thinking about how to photograph the Chugach Mountains that so wonderfully grace Anchorage, and I believe I heard: “The city of Love.”
I think God is telling us what to expect when ONE happens (Jesus’ heartcry for His people in John 17 — what ONEcanhappen is about).
This reminds me of the Welsh Revival where the miners had to retrain the mules because:
Glimpses #180: Evan Roberts and the Welsh Revival; Christian History Institute
Employers tell me that the quality of the work the miners are putting in has improved. Waste is less, men to go their daily toil with a new spirit of gladness in their labour. In the long dim galleries of the mine, where once the hauliers swore at their ponies in Welshified English terms of blasphemy, there is now but to be heard the haunting melody of the Revival music. The pit ponies, like the American mules, having been driven by oaths and curses since they first bore the yoke, are being retrained to do their work without the incentive of profanity.
I expect a permanent Welsh revival, a permanent Asbury revival — when we all get right with each other in Christ Jesus Who is then our Lord.
It’s up to us. If we build it He will come.
We can do it!

Have you ever gotten really close to a dog or cat (or a person) and sensed they wanted to hurt you? It’s something you feel. I’ve experienced this many times. But this time it happened in a dream.
This morning, I dreamt I was in a room with some people, and the house-cat was about 1 foot in front of my face — and I sensed this feeling that the cat was vicious inside. It also had lost most of its hair on its mouth, which made it even look creepy.
I started praying specifically for whoever had cursed it in my prayer language (tongues — believing in my heart that I was praying only for this one thing. And then we know the problem is dealt with when the prayer language stops. See: I’ve finally shared much of what I know about and what can be done through the TREMENDOUS and mostly misunderstood and underused gift of tongues). This is something I almost always do when this happens, but usually not with the animal on my lap. This also always (in my experience) works to break off whatever is causing them to have nightmares, where they shake and whimper during sleep.
So I was praying out loud (apparently these other people in the room were also Christians; otherwise, I usually don’t pray in tongues in front of people) with the cat on my lap when I heard my prayer language get real intense. I asked the others if they would help pray (because the more people that pray for a specific thing in tongues the faster it gets dealt with).
Right after I asked them to help pray, the cat bit my finger, and I struggled to get it out of his mouth.
I don’t remember the end of this dream. But when wide awake, I did actually pray for whoever was cursing this cat, and I really did get a lot of prayer language, between 5 and 10 minutes.
So I then knew this wasn’t just an information dream as to how something works.
It’s also possible that this cat represented a person who was about to bite me, so to speak. And by praying what I did today this stopped this from happening. But the person who was going to do whatever was tremendously demon driven, cursed by another (or others) to be so mean. Praying for whoever was cursing him freed him.
The main thing is to pay attention to what the Holy Spirit is telling us — the Comforter Who will lead us into all trtuth, the Bible says — if we’re tuned in.
And we shouldn’t neglect our spiritual gifts, especially praying in tongues.
And when many of us are walking in the Spirit, ONE can happen!

Last night, I met senatorial candidate Joe Miller at Wellspring church.
I mainly wanted to see his stand on preemptive war. I decided not to ask the question publicly during the Q & A, because I thought if he did agree with me [he said in his talk that he was a member of the Friends church — which isn’t the Friends church I knew about (see comments 1 and 2 below)] many of the ‘Christians’ there would decide not to vote for him, because they want to bomb-bomb-bomb Iran whether Iran is really developing nukes or not, and many haven’t yet repented from supporting the immoral Bush Wars I & II.
Didn’t Jesus say: “Do unto others…” and “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God?” How did we get so far off? Didn’t we learn anything from Iraq? Why do we think we can trust our government’s Iran-with-WMDs analysis when now we find they actually fabricated the Iraq version: Newly declassified: Bush team wanted Iraq war from start and White House claims of Iraq pursuing a nuclear weapons program based on confiscated aluminum tubes were fabricated
I thought I’d post a photo of Joe looking good,
because the corporatocracy owned Anchorage Daily News
probably will intentionally do the opposite.
Joe Miller
[20% crop of photo shot from across the room with the tiny LX5]
I was the last person to talk with Joe with I think only his campaign manager listening. I asked him what he thought of preemptive war, mentioning that I heard him say that he was a Friends church [Quakers] member.
He said he should have explained that. He then gave a response that I imagine is pretty close to Rand Paul, who is more willing to bomb Iran than his father, Ron. Ron Paul believes in self-defense when it really is, but preemptive war is most often reverse-Christian:
Ron Paul’s Biggest Eye-Opener: ‘Christian’ Evangelicals Pushing Preemptive War in the Name of Spreading Christian ‘Love’
Ron Paul’s Christlike Attitude: Love, Peace & Hope – No *Initiation* of Aggression!
Ron Paul: Jesus is the Prince of PEACE, Not Preemptive War
Joe said something like we shouldn’t be nation building with wars, but on the other hand, if just one nuke hits us, that’s the end of our republic. So he’s for bombing Iran, but not to take them over for regime change.
I responded, “But we can’t trust the CIA’s intel.” Right then, the man whom I think is Joe’s campaign manager scurried him off to go to another meeting — so Joe couldn’t answer.
Overall, I was impressed with Joe Miller’s willingness to answer everyone’s questions, and then to answer them directly. He seems like a real, no-nonsense kind of guy, totally unlike Lisa Murkowski, whom I’ve always not voted for.
So I didn’t get a Joe Miller bumper sticker. I can’t 100%-support a candidate who isn’t more careful about preemptive war, but I do think he’s quite amazing, and I hope he wins. He is light years ahead of Lisa, who is so liberal people wonder how she can still be a Republican. She has actually said something like: “I don’t think people care how much we spend.”
Lisa is in many ways the opposite of the Christlike leader, Congressman Ron Paul, whom the evangelicals in Alaska (and elsewhere) mostly dissed in 2008. And it really does seem that Joe Miller is very much like Ron’s son, who could soon join Joe Miller in the U.S. Senate, which would be a great improvement.
I didn’t think that Lisa had a chance, having lost in the primary to Joe, but in this ‘me’ generation, it seems that a large percentage of Alaskans are more concerned with getting federal money than in doing the right thing for the future of this nation, which includes no longer aborting babies.
God bless!

I discovered almost 30 years ago the huge benefits of selenium. I haven’t talked much about it at ToBeFree because the FDA is out to get anyone who claims anything from natural products.
I’ll just say that the soils are deficient in selenium, and the most common fertilizers put only three minerals back into the soil, NPK. And environmental toxins require selenium and other antioxidants to clean them out of the body.
Costco used to have large bottles of Schiff (a real health food store brand that works) selenium for cheap, $6 or $7. We thankfully can still purchase vitamins and minerals over the counter (the FDA and Big Pharma want to control everything — the love of money), but selenium has gone way up in price, especially compared to what this bargain at Costco was.
So I’m mainly taking brewer’s yeast instead, which is high in selenium, B vitamins and other minerals and trace minerals (Just because something is a trace mineral doesn’t mean it’s not essential).
I actually take this mostly: KAL Nutritional Yeast (500 tablets). I won’t say how much I take. The FDA is diabolical — but if you email me I will (email is at About Jeff Fenske, top–right).
Selenium is one of the keys to skin elasticity. See: Selenium: A Trace Mineral With Antiaging Properties
I probably would have gone into some kind of natural healing profession, helping people understand what and how many nutrients to take, but the FDA is like a tiger ready to pounce on anyone not promoting Big Pharma’s mostly reverse-healing practices.
I think sulfur is another key missing ingredient in most people’s diets, and just posted this: Avoid knee surgery — glucosamine plus the same amount of MSM (Schiff states this is the clinically tested amount, and it works!)
I’ve also thought that restaurants could do really well, showcasing foods that have nutrients that people lack.
Why do you think roasted garlic and carmalized onions are used so much in fine restaurants? Someday, I may post my take on Emeril’s roasted garlic mash potatoes recipe.
And why do people crave shellfish? It’s super-high in iodine, but sea kelp is loaded with it, and is much cheaper.
To your health. I get tired of seeing friends deteriorating long before their time, deceived by BIG Pharma’s BIG money lies. They won’t promote anything they can’t make big money in, unless they’re finally shamed into it through the overwhelming evidence, like vitamin D, which many of us knew about 30 years ago.

[UPDATE: Costco apparently no longer sells Schiff brand, but now has their own brand’s version, Glucosamine HCL 1500mg With MSM 1500mg. It seems to require an additional tablet per day for me to get the same benefit; though, the recommended serving size is still the same. It’s very inexpensive. Big bottle, and is sometimes marked down further in their coupon book.]
I did. About 20 years ago, the doctor told me I had a torn meniscus and I’d have to have surgery. I told him I’d like to try natural stuff. He said, ~“You’ll be back.”
My knee hardly ever bothers me at all. I can do everything with it, including running!
Almost all non-accident surgeries can be avoided through proper nutrition.
And a friend of mine started taking this and his hip incredibly improved, but the versions with less MSM didn’t work.
Schiff® Glucosamine 1,500 mg plus MSM 1,500 mg
Schiff is a real vitamin company. This isn’t generic, white-label junk. It works.
But make sure to get the one that has the same amount of MSM as glucosamine.
MSM is sulfur, by the way, which is REALLY good for you — why hot springs stink and heal! Don’t avoid the onion, garlic, hot sauce, cabbage, etc..
Cheers,
Jeff

I’ve been trying to find higher quality streaming music online, and little did I know it was right in front of me — at Pandora.
I thought what if Pandora offers higher quality music to subscribers. And wouldn’t you know, 192kbs instead of maybe 32 — a huge jump in audio sound! HUGE!!!
It’s unfathomable to me that they wouldn’t advertise this feature in plain sight for all to see. Perhaps the hip-hop bee-boppers don’t care. But when it comes to instrumentals it makes all the difference in the world! Now sounds can touch the heart!
For me, anyway, at $36/year ($3/month), this is a no-brainer. No ads. Way better sound. Unlimited listening (free users get only 40 hours).
Go for it!
Also, I’m putting up a link at this site to my Pandora profile, if you want to see what I’m listening to. I’m using all 100 “radio stations” though, which will become more refined in time — especially now that it sounds so much better!

1) “Take time to study.”
2) “Be afraid of no one.”
3) “Let them see your face.”
4) “Tell them the truth.”

I thought I’d put this post together with these inspiring Charlie Waite videos in celebration of compact cameras, and to announce that I may be mostly departing from Canon compacts (my G11 and G10) in favor of the just-released Panasonic Lumix LX5.
Yesterday, I discovered this beautiful video in which Charlie Waite, one of the many photographers whom I’ve learned from, demonstrating what a joy it is to shoot this little gem; though, he says it won’t replace his Hasselblad, just like it won’t replace my Canon 5D Mark II.
“While it will never replace my other cameras,
I’ll certainly always have a space for a compact camera
at the ready in my pocket.”
– Charlie Waite, master of composition and light
Transcribed by myself from the last video, below
This is a promo that doesn’t feel like a promo, opening the eyes of the heart!
In 2022, the video is still up at Panasonic Middle East & Africa

Lumix LX5 getestet von Charlie Waite
panasonic | August 30, 2010
And here is Charlie shooting with a variety of compact cameras, including the LX3 (the LX5’s predecessor):
Charlie Waite ‘Travelling Light’ Trailer
environmentfilms | March 22, 2010
Were pleased to announce that Travelling Light, our brand new DVD presented by leading landscape photographer, Charlie Waite is now available and, not only that, but friends of Environment Films can enjoy a special discounted rate of £12.00.
The one-hour film documents Charlie as he explores some of Southern Englands most charming locations, celebrating the landscape through his lens. Experimenting with a selection of popular digital cameras, Charlie proves that stunning images neednt be exclusive to larger cameras and that creativity and seeing is the key to successful photography.
Travelling Light is the first in a new series brought to you by Environment Films and Light and Land Publishing. Two more films, featuring different photographers will be available later this year.
Here are what seem to be more portions of this film:
Compact digital travel photography: colour and angles
Compact digital travel photography: choosing your subject
Compact digital travel photography: composition
Compact digital travel photography: portraits and perspective
Compact digital travel photography: editing and presentation
I was really hoping to fully stay with Canon, but the G12 doesn’t look like it’s going to be what I was looking for. I’ll really dread losing some of the long end reach, but the LX5 (Panasonic’s description) has a wider and faster lens, and is smaller.
It also has an aspect mode switch which isn’t at all a deal breaker for me, but will be great fun! This is a wonderful educational tool in which its unique sensor encourages shooters to choose the aspect ratio during shooting, instead of later, in the digital darkroom.
[Tech stuff, if you’re interested: the center of the sensor is actually wider than others, which results in 3:2 and 16:9 images that have more pixels. More of the lens is being used, so the field of view is also wider.
Here is a diagram of how the LX3 and now LX5 do it. I’m hoping that this new Leica lens doesn’t need as much barrel correction in software that the LX3’s lens needed, which actually lost 2MP in the process, which Panny actually lied about [we have to be so careful in these ‘wild world’ days]. I’m really hoping this new lens design corrected this problem, but I haven’t found a definitive answer so far.]
If there aren’t any disheartening surprises after it arrives in a few days, I’ll still be shooting the majority of my fine-art images (to be printed big) with the Canon 5D2, but I absolutely love shooting compact cameras, which can be so easily carried. Probably more than half of the images on this site were shot with the G10 and G11.
I’m also looking closely at the micro 4/3rds system. Such a camera would allow even wider angle and longer telephoto shooting, while having a bigger sensor that has bigger pixels. Perhaps someday….

“When you make money at photography, you’re competing against the best photographers in the world. So your work needs to be as good.”
– Jim Zukkerman
Transcribed by Jeff Fenske from this Candid Frame interview
I was first introduced to country music while working in Billings, Montana for half a year in 1980, the spiritually darkest place I’ve ever lived. Almost everyone ate, drank and breathed country music. Now, it has spread like wildfire.
I consider country music to be one of the most significant destructive forces in America. We all know rock ‘n roll has its bad side, but country is far more deceptive. The same artist that sings hymns will sing about drunkeness and sexual immorality. And then they’ll be loudly pro-America and kill them all in Iraq: “God bless America.”
This is Satan at his best. Country music is a blight.
So I was surprised to hear this song this morning, while surfing the local radio channels.
Isn’t this how it should be? Why is this the exception and not the rule? Why do people listen to the garbage that is mostly country music? Most is so slick and deceptively black.
Forever & Ever Amen

… I’m gonna love you forever, forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I’ll be faithful
I’ll be happy to tell you again
I’m gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever amen
They say time takes it’s toll on a body
Makes the young girl’s brown hair turn grey
But honey, I don’t care, I aint in love with your hair
And if it all fell out well I’d love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
But it’s easy to see it’s happening to me
I’ve already forgotten every woman but you — oh baby
I couldn’t just let this get lost among the now 3000 posts at ToBeFree, so I thought I’d bring it over here too. This is just too cool!
I’m not overly optimistic about Ron Paul winning the next Presidential election though. The caption says The Time Has Come, but I think the time has come … and gone. We had our chance.
I’ll still support genuine political freedom fighters, but I think now is the time to more than ever focus on getting real spiritual revival going: ‘Let Us Be ONE’ Prophecy Continues 10/8/08: “It’s TOO LATE to REVERSE what’s been done for MY MEN have been REJECTED … Now is the Time to OVERCOME and GET RIGHT With ALL … FREEeeeeeeeeeeeee———DOM at last … Your HEART will SWELL with LOVE and it will be EASY to REMAIN In Me when others are On The BOAT With You”
I have great respect for this man. “Blessed are the peacemakers….”
I think it’s time.
I was talking with a few friends at work a few days ago, when my lead suggested I do some YouTube videos for my blogs, discussing some of the things I would normally just write about.
He pointed out that people learn differently.
I’ve actually been thinking about this for awhile, but I replied honestly, I’ve never been much of a speaker. He said “you’re doing it right now.”
So no excuses. I should probably do it, and have fun doing it! I’d like to do at least some of them in the nature that surrounds us here in Alaska, maybe even during some still-photo shoots.
I have to figure out what to do for good audio, and then learn the software end of it. So I expect this will happen, hopefully sooner than later. I definitely have the bug.
Had the ‘Christian’ music industry not been so tight on copyright restrictions even for worship music, I would have sung and played with guitar, long ago, some songs to put on YouTube. I understand that many do it anyway, but this is why I haven’t.
I would appreciate your prayers to take on and do well in this new-for-me format.

I just got a spam email entitled: “Your guide to successful adultery.”
No, I didn’t open it. But it’s kind of shocking to see how far America has fallen when spammers blatantly use biblical terms.
It reminds me of Luther’s Martin Luther: Sin Boldly — “No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day”
I also think of Coach Daubenmire: The Death of Shame, in which he says: “If it feels good, do it” has replaced “Thou shall not.”
We can do better!

I don’t know if the movie is worthwhile and wholesome,
but I appreciate what Julia said in the trailer for:
EAT PRAY LOVE

Set your sights high!
Be at peace.
Philippians 4:4-8
Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, Rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things. The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Cathy Giessel for State Senate
Cathy and Rich allowed me to live with their family
for a some months two decades ago.
Wow, did I have a cool dream this morning!
I was in a white, narrow, barren hallway, unable to get out. It felt like I was imprisoned with others, stuck in this hopeless hallway.
There was an exit right behind me, a window, but it would normally be suicide to try to escape from it, as it was skyscraper-high above the ground.
Then this super confident guy came along. He asked me something about if I was sure I wanted to go out. Then he walked right by me, and out the window he went, humming overcoming phrases that I could clearly hear in the dream.
Right after the dream ended, I was already positive this was a dream from God that I needed to record. I tried to repeat the important ideas so I wouldn’t forget it, and so I could exercise my mind enough to fully wake myself up.
I think I remembered all of the important parts, except I forgot the words that he was singing, which I really regret. You’d probably be able to read them here had I just forced myself awake all at once, instead of doing the trying to remember thing while only half awake.
The overcoming, impossible-to-me thing that he did was to go out of the window without fear and grab a hanging something, and seemed to swing like Tarzan toward another to wherever he was going. There is no doubt in my mind that he would get there because there was no doubt in his mind. He was an in-God, full-of-faith-to-do-whatever, 100% confident man.
His forward momentum was unstoppable, yet he wasn’t power-over. He was relaxed and happy within. He exuded confidence, apparently fully believing that anything God called him to do God would enable him to do.
About what he was singing. I remember it wasn’t exactly positive confession, working it up: “I can do this.” “I won’t fall.” It also wasn’t flat-out, direct worship. It’s possible that it was a joy in the journey thing. He definitely was joyful and free, but I just can’t specifically recall what he was singing.
He was definitely fully in the faith zone — so alive, confident, no fear, full of joy and free!
I’ve stated in this blog that I’ve wanted to share some of my journey in trying to learn how to totally forgive everyone, all of the time. Today was a good example.
I was turning left at the stop light, right next to REI in Anchorage, where I was going to look at 29er mountain bikes.
I had to wait for the oncoming traffic to make the turn, but since I was first in line, I pulled partway into the street I was turning onto, as one vehicle is allowed to turn as the light changes from green to yellow, and even to red, if one has to wait that long.
Well I did have to. The last car coming my way may have even unsuccessfully tried to run the yellow light. So after he passed, I turned left from the two way road into the lane nearest me (the left lane) of the one-way.
As I turned, the motor cycle behind me leapfrogged around me (to my left in this single lane!), clearly intentionally running the red light — because he was behind me until the light turned red, fully in the road we were turning from.
I got mad. And I noticed that I was angry. Though, I didn’t say or think any bad words, nor did I silently wish anything evil towards him, I was just angry inside towards this guy who blatantly ignored the rule of law that is for our own safety, and so we can be a civil community.
But I realized it, recognizing that it’s wrong for me to get so upset. And it’s not my right to especially stay upset.
So I thought, I’m out of line here. I’m not supposed to withhold love towards a guy illegally leapfrogged me. It’s not my business to punish him in my heart by refusing to love.
I actually thought: it’s God’s job to deal with him, not mine.
And so I just let it go, dropped the bad feelings, and was going to hold the door open for the man who had also turned into REI — ahead of me : )
But he was about 25 feet behind me, so it would have seemed strange to hold the door that long….
But I did good, you all!
And I did buy a 29er. I may have even gotten a key lead as to something that will help my business!!!
This is just a tiny example, but it reminded me of a more serious situation I had encountered previously. And if I would have love that person no matter what just like I did this person….
Well, I’m sure I’ll have many more chances like this, and far more serious. And I hope to get my heart right even sooner next time, maybe not getting it out of kilter at all, from the get-go!
I’ve always liked REI. I’ve been a member since the ’70s.
Cheers!

Greetings,
This is my official announcement that I’m taking back this blog. I kind of loaned it out to my friends at what was NWA Cargo, Anchorage. I’ll leave all of these nostalgic photos up. Everyone is always welcome to visit and copy the photos as long as they’re not used for profit.
I’m going to try to now continue with what I first intended this blog to be.
My original idea was to actually share some of what I was up to personally, partly as an incentive to achieve some of my goals, like being able to forgive everyone from my entire heart, nonstop, fully.
Part of what happened is that I didn’t get any feedback on the forgiving thing — none. I was really kind of shocked, especially because none of my blogs require commenters giving any information at all. You can be totally anonymous if you’d like. The main thing for me is to get the feedback, which helps me progress. And I consider this stuff very important in order to be able to overcome in what really may be the “last days.”
We really may see the end of this country very soon. They’ve been hitting us from every possible angle for decades now. While the people were amusing themselves, the Satanically led globalists were systematically orchestrating the delusion, locking people into the matrix.
I spell this out in my ToBeFree site. I encourage people to look at what I’ve put thousands of hours into compiling, while it’s still available Chuck Baldwin: The Internet Must Remain Free — “Right now China, the government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in case of war and we need to have that here too,” Lieberman told CNN’s Candy Crowley. It’s pretty much all there. If you want to know what really happened, it’s there.
ToBeFree also encourages us to live like free men and women no matter what. And ONEcanhappen takes it to another level, into freedom from the dark side within.
Many have been caught up in the Matrix. Many have succumbed to temptations and the so many deceptions. But it’s never too late to get out! And get out we must!
We may very well soon see the day (everything is in place) in which we’ll have to decide whether we’ll take the chip (which apparently also involves agreeing to worship the evil one), or we won’t be able to buy and sell, and the Bible says we’ll lose our heads.
Are you ready to be a martyr for Christ, losing your head so you can save your soul? Are you spiritually strong enough to do whatever it takes to keep your salvation. Many need to commit now: “I will never take the mark. I will obey.” Some need to step up: “Where do I sign up? I will follow you, Jesus, no matter what.”
It’s time to get serious. They’re talking about taking away the internet. Why don’t they just keep their secure data off of the net, I ask? But it’s Problem > Reaction > Solution. They create the problem, so we react and let them bring in their solution. They can’t allow us to have free discourse among ourselves globally. We might defeat their plans otherwise. Too many people are waking up to their devices. They need to pull the plug. And the compromised politicians will pass it into law, totally unconstitutionally.
We’re letting it happen, and who could think it could happen this fast?
“America’s Getting Jacked” is one of my categories at ToBeFree. Look at all the ways we’re getting jacked:
GMO food
fluoridated water (which lowers IQ and pacifies)
tainted and too many vaccines
fake pandemics
lies everywhere
intentionally leaving the border open (Bush absolutely intentionally did it too. It’s all at ToBeFree);
the propaganda — Fox News — the tremendous media bias — putting down 9/11 truthers as unpatriotic
TOTAL 9/11 truth blackout (very significant. Had they not, we’d probably still be free)
intentional destruction of the dollar
the corporate $$$bailouts$$$
unreported globalization meetings
buying and turning the Christian record companies
pushing only sub-Biblical ‘Christianity
record companies and the radio pushing the worst music in all genres, including country, pop, rock and rap, with sex, drugs, power over men who are all stupid, even hate the major themes
globalist wars they got US to fight (which take out regimes that would oppose the one-world government)
CIA torture, assassinations, drug running (also proven at ToBeFree)
really-naked body scanners starting at the airports
cooking figures to use the global warming exaggeration to get the global carbon tax
using Sarah Palin to try to get their not-really-mavericks in
partial nudity all over regular TV
conveniently accessible porn
drug companies pushing $$$drugs$$$ that usually don’t cure disease and kill hundreds of thousands of Americans every year, while they’re trying to regulate natural vitamins minerals and herbs which actually do cure many diseases (but they’ll prosecute if you use the word ‘cure.’ Ask fearless Kevin Trudeau)
they make spanking one’s children almost illegal
Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11, BP oil disaster, illegal immigration, flu pandemic, etc.: “You never want to let a serious crisis go to waste,” Rahm Emanuel
use of fear: “Be fearful, everyone, so we can implement our police state”
President Bush unconstitutionally recording all phone conversations and emails
Jay Rockefeller, Lieberman and Obama on turning off the internet as we know it
taking over the Tea Parties
the Glenn Beck/Fox News deception
pushing sports and celebrities as diversions
lower wages through inflation and no pay raises
loss of jobs
NAFTA, GATT etc. encouraging exportation of jobs
no tariffs
not letting 3rd party candidates into Presidential debates
the media (including ‘Fair and Balanced’ Fox) poisoning people against Ron Paul in 2008
etc.. [What did I leave out?]
All of this stuff is intentional, and the sad part is that most people aren’t waking up until it’s now too late to reverse what’s coming.
We still may be able to slow it down. I’m still no slouch, you all. I haven’t stopped posting about what’s going on. My main motivation, now, at ToBeFree is to help people see what’s going on. But we can still have an effect on the speed of the decline, I believe.
We don’t have much time to get our act together. And maybe, if we do, God will even spare us from some of what is to come.
I don’t believe the pre-trib rapture can be proven biblically, but if there is one, certainly, only those people who are right with God and all people will go. And maybe God will bless our local communities if we come together and are truly ONE [the main theme at ONEcanhappen], no more excuses and procrastinating. We don’t have much time.

I recently discovered how Personas can dress up a Firefox web browsers. I use both Firefox and Safari.
I won’t point you to their main page, because as do so many things today, it suffers badly from the low-cut-top epidemic. This is the scenery theme page. If you’re in Firefox, just put your mouse over the different personas and see how they colorize your browser.
Bora Bora Island – Tahiti is my current favorite, having looked at only a few of the 137 pages of scenery personas. It’s giving me the feel I’m looking for. It has a calm, warm stripe on top that complements the blues and aquas of the image itself.
It’s amazing how colors affect mood, which is one of the main reasons I so greatly like photography, how glorious images can inspire people’s hearts, 24/7.
Cheers!

I’ve always loved this song: OVERCOME no matter what!! TOGETHER, we can do it — no matter what happens! They can’t take our soul if we stay together in the LIGHT, fighting darkness!
I saw the movie for maybe the first time a few days ago, as it came out just 3 years after I was born. Seven guys get together to free the poor farmers from the oppressors!
Alone, they couldn’t have done it, but together…!!!!!!!
Awesome! We need to ride again, this time without guns, standing up for what’s right, against the dark side — bringing in the LIGHT!
It’s not too late. ONE can happen, today!
Fight the GOOD fight!
To Be Free : )
TURN IT UP!
Lets Ride
TOGETHER!

UPDATE:
Back on the shelves at Costco:
Borden’s non-radiated, non-rbGH, GREAT tasting milk!
.
I’ve been a Costco fan for years: great products; great prices; and known for treating their staff well. Costco’s CEO, Jim Sinegal, even endorses one of my favorite books of all time, Wooden on Leadership.
He states on the back cover:
“Wooden On Leadership offers valuable lessons no matter what your endeavor. ‘Competitive Greatness’ is our goal and that of any successful organization. Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success is where it all starts.”
–Jim Sinegal, president & CEO, Costco
I’ve often found incredible products that I thought would be worth sharing on my blog, so others can get it while they can. Because so often Costco finds a cheaper deal (or something), and we’ll never see these products again. So “get it while you can.”
And if you say an asterisk [*] on the lot’s price label, this means that this pallet will be Costco’s last.
Well, I just now discovered that the cartons of milk we recently purchased looked like (almost identical packaging) the excellent, Borden shelf-stable milk, which isn’t radiated and contains no artificial hormones. But this product is totally different.
It’s made by Real Fresh. It’s Ultra-Pasteurized (nuclear radiated) and is not artificial hormone free. And the proof is that it tastes nasty — while Borden’s non-radiated, non-rbGH milk had a rich, wholesome taste.
What a disappointment! We’re taking the case back. Nutrition should be more important than saving a few pennies (or even dollars).
So I’m launching this first Costco post. Probably many more will come, mainly consisting of products that Costco does have.
And I know I’m starting out on a somewhat negative foot here. But Costco tries to find the balance between price and what people want. And if more people demand wholesome, unadulterated products Costco will carry more of them — just as they have this great Borden milk for these many great “Uhm, uhm good!” months. This milk was truly amazing!
Cheers from Alaska!
