One of my favorite subjects to write about in this great journal of truth has always been the lives of extraordinary people, especially when they are Christians, and most particularly when they have turned from being a Devil’s Disciple to become one of God’s Children – from sinner to saint. Those are the people I love to write about, to share with my readers their beliefs, their values, their strengths and weaknesses, their deeds, their fears, and their valor that we of the present might emulate to some degree.

We Must Be Living In “The Twilight Zone” - Part 2
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
Last time we delved a bit into twenty-one reasons to prove that, beyond reasonable doubt, we Americans have been living in a version of Rod Sterling’s “The Twilight Zone” at least for the past four years, and probably for much longer. A valid case can be made, in my opinion, that our nation and its somewhat “willingly deceived” citizens have been living in that not-so-far-fetched “zone” for much longer than the past four years. How else are we to judge the reasons why we Americans have allowed the severe degradation of our once noble and mostly Christian-oriented national culture? Think about it.

I’ll wager that some of you also feel like we’ve been living in some kind of “reincarnation” of Rod Sterling’s great old TV series, ‘The Twilight Zone’, over the past four “Biden” years (or much longer for those of us blessed with long memories. You know—that “Twilight Zone” where things never were what they appeared to be. For certain we haven’t been living in “normal (constitutional) times” during Comrade Biden’s “mal-administration” (if indeed we ever did during any of our lifetimes), nor are we living among a population of mostly ‘rational’ people, sad to say. At best perhaps only “half rational”, courtesy of the poisonous propaganda constantly oozing from what passes for “main stream”, or “legacy” media.

HAYM SALOMON – JEWISH PATRIOT EXTRAORDINAIRE

A MAJOR FINANCIER OF OUR FIRST AMERICAN REVOLUTION
We were walking near Independence Square in Philadelphia, only a couple of blocks from Independence Hall, during one of our visits to that historic city back in 2003, when my wife and I noticed a sign near a long-established Jewish synagogue. It was a historical marker telling about a man named Haym Salomon (1740-1785), of whom we knew nothing at all. Why, we asked ourselves, had we never heard of this man whom we were informed was a “Financier of the American Revolution”? We didn’t recall ever having been taught in our American History courses (in the “dark ages” when actual history was presented) about a Jewish émigré to Colonial America who was one of the major sources of funds to support our patriot cause. Shame on us for being so uninformed. Shame on historians for neglecting this great yet little known patriot.

James Patterson’s Journal – The Story of The Congregation of Andria Church During the Dark Time (Patterson’s Tale #10)
[ NOTE: Click HERE to read the other CIVILIZATION'S INTERREGNUM columns. ]
“The village leaders decided to abandon the rebuilding of our fortified part of Andria, knowing that our enemies would send their war machines against us again. We concentrated on fortifying our own homes, making them as strong as possible, covering them with rock and dirt. Each family head was ordered to store some food and water, as many weapons as possible, including bullets if he had a firearm, and was ordered by our village leaders to review with his family all of the possible escape routes out of Andria. We all knew that we could not hope to match the weaponry our enemies possessed, but we all did our part to make our village as ‘unfriendly’ to our enemies as possible. We dug stake pits and disguised them, making certain our people knew where they were. We raised heavy logs into the trees, where they could be dropped onto our enemies. We constructed piles of large rocks on the hillsides around our village, being held in place by hidden barriers that could be easily removed, so the rocks would tumble down on our attackers.

(ORIGINALLY TITLED: A VERY TRUMP CHRISTMAS)
Written by Tony Olson, and first published by Gem State Patriot News—December 23, 2016
(Modified slightly by W. H. LAMB for The Times Examiner)
Even though the Christmas season has passed, I know that the readers of The Times Examiner, many of whom are supporters of our new President #47, Donald Trump, will appreciate the sentiments and the wit of the author, Tony Olson, who writes regularly on gemstatepatriot.com/blog. A slightly different version was published on Jan. 16, 2017 by 100percentfedup.com. I trust that you will get as much of a “chuckle” from it as I did. It was originally written upon President Trump’s FIRST election victory, so I’ve modified it a bit to bring it up to date. (whl)

“Word soon spread up and down the river that Andria village had actually attacked an Enforcer installation and had killed all 98 of the enemy in it. We all knew that this bold action would put Andria on the Overmasters’ short ‘kill list’, for they were well known for the retribution they always practiced on individuals, clans, or in this case an entire village—who dared to defy them. Two days later the Lees met with the entire village, men, women, older teens, to discuss our possibilities and course of action. Some families were so terrified of Enforcer revenge that they loaded what they could on their horse carts and left Andria quickly. A few families decided to retreat deep into the forest in hopes of hiding from the Enforcers for an extended time. But most of us, numbering about 700 people, decided by open vote to stay and fight our enemies, even though we knew there was little chance that we could continue to resist them for long.

The Murder of the Unborn Still Afflicts Us!

(I’m indebted to the book, What If America Were a Christian Nation Again?, written by my hero of the Christian Faith, the late Rev. D. James Kennedy, with Jerry Newcombe, published in 2003 by Thomas Nelson Publishers in Nashville, Tennessee, for some of the inspiration for this article, and I quote somewhat freely from it. Most of the words are mine, some are from Dr. Kennedy. The original admonitions are from the One who made all things, including THE UNBORN CHILD in its mother’s womb, come to be, and is the One who looks at his created children, points His finger at them—at US—and says SHAME—SHAME ON YOU! I cringe even as I write this, for how long will THE CREATOR withhold His justice from America?)

We’ve all heard that sage observation that “getting old isn’t for thefaint of heart, or for wimps”. At the age of 88, I can verify the truth of that wisdom, as the “aches and pains” of the years constantly do battle with me. Each week I seem to discover new joints that I never knew I had, and getting “started” in the morning is becoming a painful challenge. Developing sufficient “torque” to get moving is much more difficult than it was decades ago. Younger folks sometimes question the abilities of “experienced” seniors, but are themselves often in a mental fog when we relate historical events that are perfectly clear to us, even though they may have occurred decades previously. (True history is a “foreign concept” to many of our younger citizens, sadly, thanks to those deliberately incompetent “Institutions of Induced Ignorance” (i.e. government schools) that most of them attended.)

Happy Christmas – Yes! Happy Holidays – No!

A “happy Christmas wish?” What happened to that good old “Merry Christmas” that people wished for each other? Back in the halcyon days of our cultural innocence and our “racial/gender/transgender/non-mulicultural/age/class/political/religious/ educational insensitivities”, Americans thought nothing of wishing their friends and family—even perfect strangers-- a “Merry Christmas”. I still do so, and I refuse to capitulate to the smarmy progressive “moon bats” and their brain damaged, guano-producing flock in our midst who consider me to be hopelessly old fashioned, culturally elitist, set in my ways, and unwilling to change. To those accusations I proudly andwithout apology plead “guilty”. Period—end of discussion! (But not the end of the article!)

SPECIAL THOUGHTS FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
“13) When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples: ‘Who do people say the Son of Man is?’ (14) They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ (15) ‘But what about you?’ he (JESUS) asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’ (16) Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’ (17) Jesus replied, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in Heaven.” - MATTHEW 16:13-17 (New International Version)

Patria Nostra Conservanda Est! Our Fatherland Must Be Preserved!

The ancient Romans in their venerable Republic were a pretty smart bunch, until they started worshipping big government and raiding the public treasury. One of my favorite ancient Roman writers and heroes is Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 B.C.--43B.C.). A noted lawyer and unfailing defender of the dying Roman Republic, he was a keen observer of the decline leading to the ultimate death of that Republic, and was eventually assassinated by the Roman version of total government in the form of the followers of General Marc Antony, one of the assassinated aspiring dictator, Julius Caesar’s, loyal toadies. Before Cicero made his decision to oppose the rising dictatorship that was destroying the Republic, he wrote these famous words: “Patria est communis omnium parens”, which means—“The fatherland is the common parent of usall”. I’m sure that most of us would agree with this sentiment, but just what is our American “fatherland”?

BE READY TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST CHARGES OF A POLITICAL ‘FAUX PAS’! ALWAYS FIGHT BACK!
What, you may ask, is a “faux pas”? Two dictionary definitions should suffice to explain a “social” ‘faux pas’, the most common type:
- “An embarrassing or tactless act or remark in a social situation;
- A significant or embarrassing error or mistake—a blunder”
To which we might add my definition of a political ‘faux pas’:
- Any verbal statement, political act, principled stand, support of the U.S. Constitution, defense of Judeo/Christianity, or admitted vote for the ‘wrong’ candidate that offends the perpetually offended and brain damaged vermin of the left that have infested and infected the so-called ‘social media’.

Remembering the Original Pilgrims At Thanksgiving Time

- By W.H. Lamb
- Category: W.H. Lamb
“…And as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone forth unto many, yea in some sort to our whole Nation. Let the glorious name of Jehovah have all the praise.”
So wrote William Bradford (1590-1657), (author of “Of Plymouth Plantation”, a history of the early years of Plymouth Colony), the longtime Governor of the Pilgrims’ colony at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1630, who was one of the true giants of early American history. Unfortunately, most Americans, especially our youth, have never heard of William Bradford and know virtually nothing TRUTHFUL about our Pilgrim Forefathers and Mothers. Today, the Pilgrim story is lost amidst the typical American celebration and hoopla of Thanksgiving—turkey, dressing, gravy, football, parades, and naps. Almost forgotten is the spiritual bravery, the courage, the sacrifices, the terror, the joys and sorrows that this brave little band experienced on their way to establishing not only a Christian colony in the frozen forests of Massachusetts, but ultimately the Country that most of us say we love—The United States of America.

A SERMON (OF SORTS)
Our world can be a strange place at times, and no more strange than in our application of God’s Holy Word to both our national affairs and our daily lives. So, let’s begin this investigation by reviewing the quote from the title to this article, found in PSALM 33:12:
“Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord, even the people that he hath chosen for His inheritance.” - 1599 Geneva Bible
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.” - 1611 King James Bible

Last time, we looked at the first of several of God’s Providential Miracles performed in this amazing WWII tale, starring a young woman named Margaret (Peggy) Covell, and her “heart change” involving total forgiveness for people who had killed her missionary parents in the Philippines in 1943. She was the first link in this miraculous chain of God’s “events”, which changed not only her life, but also the lives of two other principles she inadvertently interacted with. Inadvertently, perhaps, in her mind but NOT in God’s plan.
