In The Great Spiritual Country Of India

In the great spiritual country of India the homeless can set up large tents on the grounds of the nations capital in downtown Delhi and the homeless are allowed to beg anywhere.
In Muslim Kashmir, India, the poor are treated differently. You rarely see a beggar.
Every morning in Kashmir the poor go to the home of a wealthy Muslim and make their case for why they need money. At the end of their conversation the wealthy Muslim will give them money. I never saw a poor person turned down.
Where I live in Issaquah, Washington - one of the richest areas of the country, the poor are treated much differently.
The City of Issaquah outlawed begging and the police did everything they could to run them out of town. Fortunately what they did was illegal and overturned.
Now the private security companies, who work for the large corporations in Issaquah, are making it as hard as they can on the homeless to beg in Issaquah.
Costco, which has its world headquarters in Issaquah, is a prime example. Their is a little strip of land in back of their building next to the sidewalk where the homeless stand to beg. Costco has posted no trespassing signs next to the sidewalk which is public property. If the homeless move from the sidewalk and set one foot on this little strip of Costco land they are subject to criminal prosecution.
Costco is one of the richest corporations in the world.
As far as the people of Issaquah are concerned, I usually meet with tremendous hatred toward the homeless, even from people who tell me they are Christians.
This is because we are no longer a spiritual country.
In Matthew 25, the heart of the Gospel, Jesus has a lot to say about all of this.

Fred Hampton - Clarification

Like with the ranchers, we do not approve of any actions by Fred Hampton or his associates that were not done in the spirit of non violence as practiced by Jesus, Mahatma Gandhi, or Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This clarification should in no way diminish the fact that Fred Hampton was assassinated by the Chicago Police and the FBI and that LaVoy Finicum was assassinated by the Oregon State Police and the FBI.

For thr Fourth of July

...And now the villagers, who scarcely know where
it lies, instead of going to the pond to bathe or
drink, are thinking to bring its water, which should
be as sacred as the Ganges at least, to the village
in a pipe, to wash their dishes with!-- to earn their
Walden by the turning of a cock or drawing of a
plug!... Where is the country's champion, the Moore
of Moore Hall, to meet the enemy at the Deep Cut
and thrust an avenging lance between the ribs of
the bloated pest?---- Thoreau

Pope Francis was the "Moore of Moore Hall" when he gave a major speech and urged Americans to lead a simpler life, for which he was widely denounced.

Lord have mercy on America.

Captain Alexander Newlands, Captain Hendershot, Captain Novichchin

Donald McKay, the designer and builder of American clipper ships, had this to say about Captain Newlands, the first captain of his famous clipper ship Champion Of The Seas:

"...I do not know one who combines so many valuable qualities, and who, at the same time, makes less pretensions. He is calm but quick, reflective but earnest, and always displays that firm self-reliance peculiar to a thorough bred sailor, in every thing of consequence which he undertakes. Well educated, a perfect gentleman, and a sailor of the highest professional attainments, he is worthy of commanding the finest merchant ship in the world."

My mentors were Captain Hendershot, Captain Novichchin, both the chief captains for Foss Maritime.
The same as was said about Captain Newlands can be said for them.

The Lord is always there.

As I have been jogging on my property the last couple days I have been telling Wolfy how he'll be smelling all the Fourth of July barbecues and how we won't be invited to any.
Once again laughing over this like with the drones.
Today I met a Russian man who wanted my help on how to drive to Anchorage.
We studied his maps and I gave him the best advice I could.
I also asked him about the Russian mafia and drugs and told him how it is affecting me personally.
He told me he has never been involved in any of that and it is "bullshit", they shoot bullets and when he was in Russia he was a professional boxer. He is a humble man and I am sure he was a champion just by looking at him.
 He gave me his phone number without me asking and wanted mine. I gave him my ministry card with the famous Russian prayer of the heart.
He then wanted to prepare a meal for me but I told him I had just eaten. He then gave me a Russian meal his wife had prepared for him - potatoes, pieces of meats, mushrooms, cooked celery, etc. all in a light sauce. A genuine Russian meal - enough food for today and the Fourth of July.
My neighbors won't even come close to having the delicious Russian meals me and Wolfy will be eating.
I thanked him and he followed me to the freeway and Anatoliy is now on his way to Anchorage, Alaska.
Delicious Russian meals and a new genuine friend. What more could you want for the Fourth of July holiday. Thank you Lord.

"Islam means peace"

After Muhammad Ali visited the site of the attacks on New York City on 9-11 he said the following:
" Islam is not a killer religion. Islam means peace."
In 1975 when a reporter asked him how he wanted to be remembered he said: "....as a man who tried to unite people through the faith of Islam."
