Benghazi hero Kris “Tanto” Paronto saw Kaepernick complaining about not being invited to the meeting and decided to send him a reminder about what real heroes look like.
Paronto uploaded a photo of U.S. soldiers taking a knee, which looks like they are saying a prayer together as a unit.
The caption on the photo read: “Real Men Taking a Knee,” and included several hashtags reminding people that freedom isn’t free.
Paronto perfectly encapsulated how an overwhelming majority of Americans feel about NFL players disrespecting the national anthem and the American flag.
Heroes like Paronto understand what true sacrifice is and what it means to have your friends killed in combat while defending this great nation.
They fought and bled for this country — giving entitled athletes the opportunity to lead extravagant lives with millions of dollars.
People like Kaepernick have no clue what hard work and sacrifice actually look like. The American people will stand with Paronto long before they ever kneel with Kaepernick.
Speaking to the BBC, legendary Welsh singer Tom Jones, perhaps more famous for his Vegas shows now, confirmed that the scandal in the movie industry, following the revelations regarding Harvey Weinstein, is also common in music.
Speaking at the launch of the “The Voice UK” television program in Manchester, Jones stated that “Things have always happened in the music industry as well. There's been people complaining about publicists and different things they've been expected to do to get a record contract, just like a film contract."
The singer says he was propositioned by a man in the music industry early on in his career in the 1960s.
Sir Tom had been asked about the abuse alleged to have taken place in Hollywood.

Sir Tom Jones 'I felt terrible' after encounter
BBC News
Published on Oct 19, 2017
Sir Tom Jones has said the abuse and harassment alleged to have taken place in Hollywood is also widespread in the music industry. The singer was discussing the allegations surrounding Harvey Weinstein in an interview with the BBC. "Things have always happened in the music industry as well," he said. "There's been people complaining about publicists and different things they've been expected to do to get a record contract, just like a film contract." Asked on BBC Radio 5 live's Afternoon Edition whether it was something he'd experienced, Sir Tom replied: "Yes. At the beginning, yes.
Unexpectedly, Jones acknowledged that he’d faced this problem when he started out
“Yes. At the beginning, yes...
There were a few things like that, but you avoid it. You just walk out...
But what's tried on women is tried on men as well. But then again, it's not much though. It was just once, really."
Jones said that it left him feeling terrible...
“You think 'I’ve got to get away from this person and it can’t be like this'... There’s always been that element there that people with power some times abuse it.”
The question is whether other members of the music industry follow Jones lead but name names.
Jones added:
"Things happen in show business, and some times things are covered up and then they come to light and other people come forward. It's like taking the cork off of a bottle.
Things come out that maybe should've come out years ago. Who knows? But that's the way it is with show business. You are in the public eye, and that's it. You have to take the good with the bad, but justice will out. If you've done something wrong, you've got to pay for it, or prove that you haven't done anything wrong."
The fact that it’s also been going on in the music industry for many years – Jones began his career in 1963 – is probably not going to surprise anybody.
John Perkins describes the methods he used to bribe and threaten the heads of state of countries on four continents in order to create a global empire and he reveals how the leaders who did not “play the game" were assassinated or overthrown. He brings us up to date about the way the economic hit man system has spread from developing countries to the US, Europe, and the rest of the world and offers a strategy for turning this around. “Each of us," he says, “can participate in this exciting revolution. We can transform a system that is consuming itself into extinction into one that is sustainable and regenerative."
John's books, including The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, have sold over a million copies, spent more than 70 weeks on the New York Times bestseller lists, and are published in more than 30 languages. As Chief Economist at a major consulting firm, his experiences advising the World Bank, UN, IMF, U.S. government, Fortune 500 corporations, and heads of state convinced him to devote his life to facilitating changes in social, political, and economic systems, as well as in general consciousness. He was founder and CEO of a highly successful alternative energy company and is a founder and board member of Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance, nonprofits dedicated to creating a sustainable, just, peaceful, and thriving world.
John's courage in writing his books and speaking out against his former bosses exemplifies the courage shown by our Founding Fathers and Mothers when they stood up to the British Empire. Like them, John defied threats and bribes and took action.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - (FULL AUDIO BOOK)
This is the story of the century and the media is DEAD SILENT on it. However President Trump is not going to let this one slide. Paris Swade for Liberty Writers reports, President Trump took to twitter this Thursday to attack Hillary for the Clinton-Uranium One scandal. He decried the “fake news media” as ignoring the entire report.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – While the mainstream media continues to
obsess over Paul Manafort and Gen. Michael Flynn’s supposed “Russian
collusion,” totally ignored are the ties Tony Podesta, the brother of
Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman John Podesta, had to both
Uranium One and to Sherbank, Moscow’s largest state-run bank with close
ties to international terrorism and to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As the Russians gained control of Uranium One in three separate
transactions from 2009 through 2013, the Podesta Group was paid a total
of $630,000 between 2010 and 2015 to represent Uranium One, the
Russian-controlled firm with close financial ties to the Clinton
Foundation that today controls 20 percent of all U.S. uranium produced.
Among the revelations made public through the 11.5 million documents
leaked by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists
detailing the legal and financial arrangements behind secretive
off-shore banking transactions dating back to the 1970s was the disclosure Russia’s largest bank, the state-owned Sherbank, uses the Podesta Group as its registered lobbyist in Washington.
“Sberbank (Savings Bank in Russian) engaged the Podesta Group to
help its public image—leading Moscow financial institutions not exactly
being known for their propriety and wholesomeness—and specifically to
help lift some of the pain of sanctions placed on Russia in the
aftermath of the Kremlin’s aggression against Ukraine, which has caused
real pain to the country’s hard-hit financial sector,” wrote
former National Security Agency analyst and counterintelligence officer
John R. Schindler in an article entitled “Panama Papers Reveal
Clinton’s Kremlin Connection” published by the Observer on April 7,
2016.
“It’s hardly surprising that Sberbank sought the help of
Democratic insiders like the Podesta Group to aid them in this difficult
hour, since they clearly understand how American politics work,”
Schindler continued.
“The question is why the Podesta Group took Sberbank’s money,”
Schindler asked. “That financial institution isn’t exactly hiding in the
shadows—it’s the biggest bank in Russia, and its reputation leaves a
lot to be desired. Nobody acquainted with Russian finance was surprised
that Sberbank wound up in the Panama Papers.”
Schindler noted that since the 1990s, Sberbank has grown to be
Russia’s dominant bank, controlling nearly 30 percent of Russia’s
aggregate banking assets and employing a quarter-million people. The
majority stockholder in Sberbank is Russia’s Central Bank, making
Sberbank functionally an arm of the Russian government, though
officially Sberbank is a private institution.
“Certainly, Western intelligence is well acquainted with
Sberbank, noting its close relationship with Vladimir Putin and his
regime. Funds moving through Sberbank are regularly used to support
clandestine Russian intelligence operations, while the bank uses its
offices abroad as cover for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service or
SVR,” Schindler pointed out.
A NATO counterintelligence official explained that Sberbank,
which has outposts in almost two dozen foreign countries, “functions as a
sort of arm of the SVR outside Russia, especially because many of its
senior employees are ‘former’ Russian intelligence officers.” Inside the
country, Sberbank has an equally cozy relationship with the Federal
Security Service or FSB, Russia’s powerful domestic intelligence agency.
On April 17, 2014, the Moscow Times reported Ukraine opened criminal proceedings against Sberbank and 13 other banks on suspicion of “financing terrorism.”
Schindler noted the Ukrainian criminal infestation concluded
Sberbank had distributed millions of dollars in illegal aid to
Russian-backed separatists fighting in eastern Ukraine, with the bank
serving as “a witting supporter of Russian aggression against Ukraine.”
On April 5, 2016Lachlan Markay reporting in the Washington Free Beacon published the lobbying registration form
the Podesta Group filed with the U.S. government proving Sberbank had
contracted with the Podesta Group to advance their interests with
banking, trade, and foreign relations.
Markay further reported that according to the Organized Crime and
Corruption Reporting Project, a consortium of journalists exploring the
Panama Papers leak, Sberbank and Troika Dialog have ties to companies
used by members of Putin’s inner circle to funnel state resources into
lucrative private investments.
“Some of these companies were initially connected to the Troika
Dialog investment fund, which was controlled and run by Sberbank after
the bank bought the Troika Dialog investment bank. Troika and Sberbank
declined to comment,” Markay noted the Organized Crime and Corruption
Reporting Project, concluded in a report published in April 2016.
On March 30, 2016, Politico reported
the Podesta Group registered to lobby for the U.S. subsidiary of
Sherbank to see if relief could be obtained for the bank in the easing
of U.S. sanctions against Russia for Russia’s role in the Ukraine
conflict.
The Podesta Group and the Russian uranium scam
As first documented in Peter Schweizer’s bestselling book
“Clinton Cash,” and confirmed in Jerome Corsi’s bestselling book
“Partners in Crime: The Clinton’s Scheme to Monetize the White House,”
Uranium One directed millions to the Clinton Foundation as the Russian
government gained ownership of the company.
New York Times reporters Jo Becker and Mike McIntire, in an
article entitled “Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium
Deal,” that the newspaper printed on April 23, 2015, documented the tie between the Russians and the Clinton Foundation as the Uranium One deal evolved.
“As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in
three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a
flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation,” Becker and
McIntire wrote.
“Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four
donations totaling $2.35 million,” the New York Times reporters
continued. “Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the
Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama
White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to
the company made donations as well.”
Becker and McIntire further noted that shortly after the Russians
announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One,
Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian
investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One
stock.
CIFUS is the acronym for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, the inter-agency committee
of the U.S. government, operating out of the U.S. Treasury, that is
responsible to review and authorize transactions of a U.S. business that
could result in a foreign person or entity undermining U.S. national
security interests.
As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton was a member of CIFUS and
she was the only presidential candidate in 2008 to make an issue of the
importance of strengthening CIFUS to protect U.S. economic sovereignty
and national security.
In October 2010, CIFUS reviewed and approved the Rosatom acquisition of majority control in Uranium One before the deal was done.
In 2013, Rosatom acquired
all remaining shares of Uranium One. Becker and McIntire estimated that
by 2015, after getting CIFUS approval, the Russians ended up
controlling one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United
States.
John Podesta served as Clinton Foundation CEO
According to a New York Times report published
Aug. 13, 2013, in 2011, a wave of midlevel program staff members
departed the Clinton Foundation, “reflecting the frustration of much of
the foundation’s policy personnel with the old political hands running
the organization.”
Around that time, in 2011, Bruce Lindsey, then the Clinton
Foundation’s CEO, suffered a stroke, underscoring concerns about the
foundation’s line of succession. John D. Podesta, a chief of staff in
Mr. Clinton’s White House, stepped in for several months as temporary
chief executive.
INDICTMENT!? FBI UNCOVERS "MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE" ON CLINTONS
The Russia investigation took a stunning turn this week as it was revealed that the FBI had collected mountains of evidence pertaining to bribery, kickbacks, threats of extortion and even money laundering.
The news is so outrageous, it should have lead to an outcry of pressure for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to immediately indict former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Instead… crickets. The reason you don’t hear much about this in the mainstream media, it’s for one reason. This one has nothing to do with President Donald Trump … and EVERYTHING to do with former 'president' Barack Obama. (Is this what Obama was whispering to Russian President Medevev to tell Putin?? https://youtu.be/XsFR8DbSRQE "Tell President Putin after my election I have more flexibility")
Of course, it also has a clear link to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Outraged U.S. lawmakers are already vowing multiple investigations into the explosive new report from The Hill, which revealed how the FBI had the goods on allegations that Russians had infiltrated both U.S. business and politics with the goal of expanding its control over the global industry.
The report finds that federal investigators had ample evidence as early as 2009 – when Obama was president, and Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
“The Russians were compromising American contractors in the nuclear industry with kickbacks and extortion threats, all of which raised legitimate national security concerns. (The Americans had to sell out - turn traitor against our nation when accepting Russian bribes.) And none of that evidence got aired before the Obama administration made those decisions,” a source who worked on the case told The Hill.
That source was kept anonymous out of fear of retaliation… not only from Russia, but also American officials working furiously to keep this story under wraps.
The Hill report states:
“They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s 'charitable foundation' during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.”
That body was the 'Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States', which at the time included Hillary Clinton as well as Eric Holder, who was Obama’s attorney general.
Despite the building case… despite the growing evidence… despite the cash being sent to Clinton’s 'charity'… the 'committee' unanimously approved the partial sale of Uranium One, a Canadian mining company, to Russia’s Rosatom.
Clinton has insisted that she had no role in the approval of the deal, which gave Russia control of more than 20 percent of the U.S. uranium supply.
But if this deal was really on the up-and-up, why would the Obama administration work so hard to keep all of this from not only the public, but also lawmakers in Congress who were outraged this week to learn the details?
“You want a real Russia collusion story?” Sean Hannity asked on Fox News on Tuesday night. “We’ve got it!”
As the investigation unfolded and as the sale was approved, former President Bill Clinton was busily accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees from Russian interests, according to Peter Schweitzer, author of “Clinton Cash.”
In addition, The Hill report notes that an FBI undercover informant witnessed conversations among Russian nuclear officials about trying to get close to the Clintons.
Did they succeed? The report suggests they may have found a back door into the family, with the Russian nuclear industry funneling millions to a U.S. entity that worked with the 'Clinton charity'.
“If The Hill’s reporting is accurate, this is dirty money,” wrote Noah Rothman of Commentary. “Their report alleges that eyewitness and written accounts obtained by the FBI confirm that Russian officials were responsible for this influx of cash to the Clintons.”
In a second bombshell report – also from The Hill – an attorney for an unnamed FBI witness said her client tried to warn Congress… but was BLOCKED by the Obama administration’s Justice Department.
“All of the information about this corruption has not come out,” attorney Victoria Toensing told The Hill. “And so my client, the same part of my client that made him go into the FBI in the first place, says, ‘This is wrong. What should I do about it?’”
Toensing, who has worked for both the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Justice Department under President Ronald Reagan, is currently working to see if the Trump administration will allow her client to speak to lawmakers.
If and when that happens, expect C-SPAN to become the hottest network on TV — because an indictment may soon follow.
— Walter W. Murray is a reporter for The Horn News. He is an outspoken conservative and a survival expert, and is the author of “America’s Final Warning.”
The Obama administration was involved in covering up Russian bribery, money laundering and racketeering that ultimately tied into the Clinton Foundation. Also, trends forecaster Gerald Celente shares the latest economic news and Robert Brown of the John Birch Society joins the program to explain why he's fighting to stop a Constitutional convention from taking place. We'll discuss the controversy over Trump's phone conversation with the widow of a fallen U.S. soldier and the Ellen Degeneres interview with the Las Vegas shooting security guard, Jesus Campos.
The below communication was forwarded to us anonymously by several concerned Americans who visit both our websites and who are among those waiting for the coming currency exchange. We have decided to publish this as it is presumed already public on the DC website and/or by their email communications. The purpose for publishing the below is to illustrate the negative thought processes of those within the internet exchange community who are continually voicing anti-American, anti-President diatribe which, regardless of a First Amendment 'right' to do so, are firstly not supportive of the results of the votes of the American people who elected their President, and secondly nor are these people supportive of our nation nor thirdly the goals for the use of the receipts of the funds received from the exchanges. They can say they are, but their continual condemnation says otherwise. How so? Their repetitive diatribe insulting and cutting down both our President and, in so doing, the American people. Then, at the conclusion of their 'reports', they have the nerve to insult the Father Creator and the American people by adding their statement: "God is with us"! What 'god' do these serve? What would the Lord God Creator, Who selected, prepared and put into the office for this special time in our nation's history, have to say about these people giving Him their middle fingers via their insults, condemnation and mocking of the very man who He chose and put in to the office of President? Of the very man and his administration who have been working diligently for long hours to help turn this nation around, identifying and unwinding all the marxist/socialist/communist unlawful anti-American actions that the former 'president' and his czars and cohorts in crimes put in place to cheat the American people as well as to cause the demise of our nation and its people? They are entitled to their opinion - right or wrong - as we are to ours. I chose simply to present the 'other side'. We do not follow DC and DaCostas because of their insults and disrespect for you, the American people and their over-whelmingly elected President. The people made their voices heard loud and clear. This message is not meant to become a battle between our two websites or internet groups, nor will we respond to such attempts, but simply to make clear our position to continue to stand with and for our nation and our President and those who are waiting to make a positive difference in the lives of people worldwide. Just like the kneelers on the NFL football teams, you have the right to make your own decisions as to whom you chose to follow. OO
"Galactic Fog"
Issue #18 October 17, 2017
There’s a weird galactic fog burning off humanity’s beautiful but hidden forrest right now whereby the worse Trump acts in public, the closer we get to our RV in private... and the more we can see our ZIM / USN forrest of infinite blessings.
The US Military and all major banks are synced up and preforming final redundancy switching tests this past weekend.
That means all the necessary physical/digital new USN/TRN is in place now and just waiting for our arrival.
That’s
50 million $10,000 USN bundles air lifted and Brinks truck loaded onto
pallets, delivered to every region of a 330 million populated country,
representing 85% of the total redeemers worldwide.
There’s absolutely no drama regarding the transition from old money to new, nor our redemption staffing or safety. None. Zip.
All is well.
But this geopolitical “out of chaos comes order” pageant we are now witnessing is an old cabal trick, like usury and war.
Thankfully
the NPTB are using their steady dose of social havoc, strategically, to
corner the cabal by utilizing their own chaos against them to help mask
the NPTB’s global transition from absolute malevolence to absolute
benevolence... while swatting all tiring cabal bugs in an ever dwindling
resource scarcity fly trap.
They simply have no energy or funds to fight back.
They knew the cabal would fight till the bitter end.
So
not only did they use the coming chaos in positive way, they increased
the negative intensity by literally inserting Trump into the White House
and then keeping him there!
That’s just bananas with banana toppings.
Talk
about allowing a wolf into the hen house in order to round up all other
cabal wolves, globally, including ISIS fighters, Israeli Mossad,
Ukrainian Militia,, Saudi Arabian Hybrids and most recently Kurdistan
Jews.
That’s
why Trump was so surprised when he won the 2016 election. He was
willingly scheduled to lose and keep all the remaining campaign cash.
So
much so, he was planning on reaping those left over contributions from
all those cabal foreign nationals, dictators and oligarchs seeking
future political favor just in case he won.
That
left quite a paper trail going back to 2015 for Mueller to find. And
why Obama assisted by collecting most of it before he left office.
Hillary
Clinton actually was the one that made out the biggest financially—by
losing—and staying out of jail and avoiding public disgrace.
No
wonder the Clinton’s agreed to throw in the towel and play good losers
in the Trump aftermath. Also why Hillary just resurfaced with a book.
So
what you’re witnessing now is China and Russia quietly controlling
Trump’s eventual resignation (via the Mueller investigation and future
pre-signed pardon by VP Mike Pence) as to when the restored US Republic
will openly come on-line and take center stage with President Ryan being
installed and the USN announced as being gold backed.
Ironically,
both events will have come and go months before the RV is made known
because technically (legally) the Republic never left the gold standard
circa the issue of the USN back in 1862, and never wasn’t a legal foe of
government dating back to 1776.
There’s
no other logical explanation for all this overt insanity other than the
lies and illusions are being burned off like morning fog until only
what’s real and true is left.
We
know Trump has been given amnesty via Russia and China for acting as
insane as possible, completely on purpose, to make his eventual exit as
President not only acceptable to the American public, but wildly
welcomed and mercifully cheered.
The
media knowingly assists in this reverse chaos strategy by priming the
Trump impeachment pump, which honestly won’t happen. It’s just too
disruptive.
And
the remaining factions of the cabal unknowingly also prime the same
dump Trump pump with their controlled weather events (hurricanes,
earthquakes, wild fires) and false flag horrors (Virginia Congressional
Shooting, Las Vegas Concert Massacre, NFL Anthem Kneeling, White
Supremacy Rallies).
Look,
I know this is sounds confusing, and you’re not really sure what’s
completely true versus what might be true or even false. But consider
this... the Mueller investigation had all the information and evidence
needed to convict Trump before he was sworn in as President.
Yet
the NPTB have allowed Trump not only to become the 45th President, but
still allow it until Trumpet no longer serves their purposes... which we
understand is the completion of the RV, full compliance to GESARA
mandates and confirmed implementation of the USN internationally.
Once
all that’s done, and only when it’s done, Trump will be removed in less
than a week. Until then, root for Trump to cause more chaos so the
Republic can be brought forward.
Remember,
the USA, Inc and USD bankrupted in 2012 and our largest creditors are
now choosing our workout strategy in a fashion that’s favorable for
their national interests.
Am embarrassed and disgraced America, yet replenishes US economy services the BRICS agenda very well thank you.
Americans
are all but helpless by-standards waiting around like children with no
ride home until the NPTB decide to stimulate our economy with their self
imposed global RV, which includes our Republic and national currency
called the USN.
Good
or bad, Trump is the fulcrum point they haven choose, not us. Despite
the sincere votes you cast last November—regardless of which
cloned-alien-hybrid Reptilian you voted for. Hilarious stuff.
Incomprehensible maybe but real life. Sobeit.
A GENTLE REMINDER TO EACH OF US AS WE ANTICIPATE RECEIVING OUR FINANCIAL BLESSING..................
Dear Church, Stop Giving Your Crap to the Poor
I was getting ready to leave
for a trip to Kenya a couple of years ago when a church emailed and asked if Mercy House had any specific needs. I quickly
responded and told them I wanted to give Maureen, our Kenyan
Director, an iPhone, so we could communicate during (almost weekly) power
outages. I told them if they would buy one instead, we could use the money for
other needed items.
On the church’s Facebook feed a few days later, I saw an appeal
that said something like, “We want to support a ministry with a used iPhone. If
you have an old one you can donate, please let us know.”
I was given an older iPhone a week later. On the
ground in Kenya, I realized it wouldn’t hold a charge for more than 10
minutes. The phone was junk.So,
when I left Kenya, I gave Maureen my used one that worked.
The church contacted me after the trip and asked how Maureen
liked her new phone? I told them it was useless and said, “Don’t worry about
it. I gave her mine.”“Oh, we feel
badly, please let us replace your phone! We want to buy you a brand new one, an
upgrade. You deserve it,” I told them I used my husband’s upgrade and already
had a replacement phone. “OK. Instead we would like to write you a $500 check
for the inconvenience.”
Give
it to Maureen, I said.And they did.
While the church tried to make it right, I was bothered by the
fact they were more than willing to buy me a new phone I didn’t need. I have
noticed this mentality permeates the church as a whole: The poor will
be happy with our leftovers. They don’t know any better. They live in Africa or
Honduras.They don’t need the latest
technology or the best brands like we do. They will appreciate anything we give
because something is more than nothing.
Why do
we give others—often those in service to the poor or the poor
themselves—something we wouldn’t keep or give ourselves?
Somehow collecting clothes for immigrants has become
the perfect opportunity to get rid of stuff we don’t want and gathering baby
items for new moms is the perfect excuse to toss out stained and worn
clothing we wouldn’t dare use again. I’ve packed suitcases with beautiful
donations, but mostly I’ve pilfered through piles of junk donated in the name
of Jesus.
It’s
time to stop giving our crap to the poor.
There’s nothing wrong with used or second-hand. It’s often my
first and favorite choice. Many organizations and ministries depend on used
gifts. But if we give used, it should be our best. I’m not saying when we
clean out older clothes or toys or things we don’t use any longer and donate
them—that this is wrong. I am saying if we give it away,
it should be something we would use ourselves.
The poor may not have wealth, but they have dignity. I’ve
met people without electricity or running water who swept their dirt floors
daily, pressed their clothes neatly, walked miles to work on muddy roads,
dodging sewage, and never had a speck of dirt on them. They value their own
worth. We should, too.
I’ll never forget meeting a woman in Africa who supported her
large family by reselling used clothes from America. But when she held up
clothes to show me what was for sale—clothes Americans had donated in clothing
drives—they were tattered and stained. I was embarrassed.
Her best depended on our worst.
Just because our donation feels like we are
helping, in reality, we could be hurting. Bales of used clothes are
sold to African countries for resell and they end up flooding the market and
often put local textile businesses and seamstresses out of business.
It’s time to think about not only what we give and how
we give it, but also why we give it. Just because it makes us feel better (and
cleans out our garage at the same time) doesn’t mean it’s the best for those in
need. Perhaps we should look a little deeper into our hearts and wallets when we can say, 'I don’t have money to give to the poor, but
I have a lot of stuff'. Maybe we need to buy less stuff, so we have more to
give?
“We’re
not giving what we’re called to give unless that giving affects how we
live—affects what we put on our plate and where we make our home and hang our
hat and what kind of threads we’ve got to have on our back.
Surplus Giving
is the leftover you can afford to give. Sacrificial
Giving is the love gift that changes how you
live—because the love of Christ has changed you.
God doesn’t want your
leftovers. God wants your love overtures, your first-overs, because
He is your first love.” Ann Voskamp
There have been times over the years I’ve gasped and grinned at
the beautiful items I’ve sorted and packed for the impoverished. When we
give our best, we are living our best. We are saying with our donation, 'You
are valuable'. We are whispering with our gift, 'You are worthy of the
best'. We have the opportunity to speak self worth when we give
generously.
It’s a
promise for them. It’s a
promise for us.
“Whoever
is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.”
Proverbs 19:17
The next time we have the opportunity to share what
we have with someone who is in need, let’s give from the pile we want
to keep, not from the one we want to throw out.
I was touched by Kirstein's message above, and decided to go a step further to the important message Kirsten shared with us. We rarely, if ever, get to see the faces and the living conditions of those we are 'donating' to whether it be a general donation for the needy, or for those suffering from man created wars, or from conditions following weather disasters, or just to help others who are very needy. Below are some pictures to gently remind us just WHO these people are - our brothers and sisters of ALL ages and suffering hardships most of us would never experience. Let our hearts and minds be gently moved by their pictures as the pictures can speak loudly and say more than any words I could add here. You are blessed - share those blessings gladly with others - not our throw a ways but that which we treasure. We are a nation blessed by our God. Let us freely give what He has generously provided for us that we might be His hands extended.
Matt 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. Luke 14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind Luke 14:21 .... Then the master of the house ... said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. Matt 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. (so give your best as if to the Lord Himself!)
May our Lord bless you richly as you bless others!!!! Amein......

Question -- What is the goal of this website? Why do we share different sources of information that sometimes conflicts or might even be considered disinformation?
Answer -- The primary goal of Nesaranews is to help all people become better truth-seekers in a real-time boots-on-the-ground fashion. This is for the purpose of learning to think critically, discovering the truth from within—not just believing things blindly because it came from an "authority" or credible source. Instead of telling you what the truth is, we share information from many sources so that you can discern it for yourself. We focus on teaching you the tools to become your own authority on the truth, gaining self-mastery, sovereignty, and freedom in the process. We want each of you to become your own leaders and masters of personal discernment, and as such, all information should be vetted, analyzed and discerned at a personal level. We also encourage you to discuss your thoughts in the comments section of this site to engage in a group discernment process.
