Things That Worked: From A Homeschool Graduate PDF Print E-mail
Written by Heather Sheen   
Wednesday, 24 March 2010

I was asking my mom what topic I should write about for my column this week. After writing for The Times Examiner for ten years, one tends to run low on new topics, y’know? But Mom had a great suggestion: Why don’t I list things that she and Dad did in our homeschooling that worked? And she even gave me permission to list things that didn’t work too! So here we go. In no particular order: Things That Worked In Our Homeschool.

The War Within

At first glance, it seems we have a misprint, but, not so ... ADAM, the first man created, according to Biblical Scripture, was made from the dust of the ground and given the ability to reproduce himself; thus the human race became a reality.

The term “dust” is understood as being very small particles, grayish in color and always present.  We can take this word and carry it a little further into yet smaller degrees of existence.

Under the microscope we would look deeper into its configuration and discover that there is more to this object than “meets the eye”.

Plans for Stealing Future Elections PDF Print E-mail
Written by Bob Dill, Publisher   
Wednesday, 17 March 2010

There are disturbing indications that the Obama Administration plans to retain perpetual power by stealing future elections. Whether their plans can and will be successful or disrupted depends entirely upon the extent that the American people remain vigilant and their determination to sacrificially do whatever is necessary to assure that we have free and honest elections in order to remain free.

If Democrat members of Congress were convinced that there would be free and honest elections in November 2010, there is no way that many of them would risk their political future by voting for the Obama-care medical takeover. They would be swept out of office by a backlash vote against this reckless, dictatorial measure.

The mad rush to somehow, anyway, get a health care bill passed should be a clarion signal to everyone that the purpose is not the improvement of health care for the American people but to put in place a framework from which this "Progressive Administration" can complete the destruction of our constitutional republic.  As I am writing this we are perhaps just days away from a House vote that will grant a victory to the "Progressive Administration."

The Battle for Historical Truth

Shortly before his death at the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee, on November 30, 1864, Irish-born Confederate Major General Patrick Cleburne reminded his comrades in arms of the possible cost of surrender:

“Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youths will be trained by Northern school teachers; learn from Northern school books THEIR version of the war; and taught to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects of derision.”

What the Government Gives, It Can Take Away PDF Print E-mail
Written by Bob Dill, Publisher   
Wednesday, 10 March 2010

Those who are anxious to seek government solutions to all of our problems need to be reminded that what the government has power to give it also has the power to take away. In recent years, it has become quite routine for elected officials to use the taxpayers’ money to buy the votes of both taxpayers and those who pay no taxes. Elected officials and bureaucrats are also empowered to terrorize citizens by threats or actually taking away promised government support. This practice has reached epidemic proportions and is on the verge of destroying trust of citizens in their government, collapsing our economic system and destroying the republic.

Council  Considered  New Rules at March 2 Meeting

Edward D. Sloan, Jr., and the South Carolina Public Interest Foundation petitioned the Court of Common Pleas in Greenville Friday, February 26, to prohibit Greenville County from “disbursement of funds from the Council District Expense Fund.”

The complaint for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief was filed just two working days prior to the Council’s scheduled meeting to receive advice from legal council regarding rule changes necessary to comply with the Feb. 8 ruling by Judge John C. Few that the “Council District Expense Fund portion of the 2006-2007 budget for Greenville County is declared to be an impermissible delegation of legislative authority, and thus to be illegal.”

Gilbert---34230064
Shortly after 6 a.m. on a rather cold Wednesday morning last month, forty-five American Legion Post 3 members left Greenville for a bus trip to Norfolk, VA.

The trip resulted from an eventful week that took place October 5-10, 2009. Greenville was chosen by the U.S. Navy Outreach as one of twenty-three cities in the United States for a group of U.S. Navy officers and sailors to visit and explain to citizens what the U.S. Navy is doing with regard to the “War On Terror,” as well as humanitarian projects around the world.

Remembering the Vietnam War

The late Harry G. Summers Jr., Colonel of Infantry, and distinguished faculty member of the Army War College, often called people’s attention to the fact that considerable differences in the treatment of the Vietnam War can be seen in the literature published in academia and that published by the veterans who fought it. He also pointed out that even among the combat veterans there are differences according to the time frame of their involvement and the role they played.

Victims of “Cultural Marxism” PDF Print E-mail
Written by Bob Dill, Publisher   
Wednesday, 03 March 2010

Cultural Marxism is systematically stamping out vestiges of Western Civilization and the Free Enterprise System that has made the United States of America the envy of the world and provided the highest standard of living known to mankind for more than two centuries. The pace of destruction has accelerated in recent months and citizens are becoming fearful of losing their God-given freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.

Many Americans view the economic chaos occurring in the United States in the past year since the inauguration of President Obama to result from inexperience or incompetence. Leftists and some African-American leaders view the mounting economic problems as resulting from lack of cooperation by Republicans and criticism by Conservatives. Tragically, those described above are victims of Cultural Marxism and fail to recognize that they have been duped. They are duped by those who know what they are doing and are following a carefully implemented plan.

Chemtrails and HAARP PDF Print E-mail
Written by Frank Bernard Osteen   
Wednesday, 24 February 2010

Several years ago Russ Cassell of WORD/WYRD radio directed my attention to chemtrails.  Then, around two years ago, I inadvertently began what was to become a research project about the history of the Bavarian Illuminati, as represented in Canadian Navy Commander William Guy Carr’s 1954 and 1958 book, Pawns in the Game.  With regard to the New World Order, as announced by

the erection of the Georgia Guidestones in March 1980, chemtrails have been noted since 1997 over many parts of the world.  “Sustainable development” is the key phrase, from the Greenville County Council’s apparent efforts to implement the UN Agenda 21 to the far-fetched idea of worldwide “population reduction.”  The latter is where chemtrails and HAARP may come into play.
