16 states sue Trump administration over emergency declaration

I said it before and Imma say it again. What government that’s supposed to be 24/7 shutdowns? And what president do you know can be sued? Sounds like a business to me.

16 states ban together with California being the leader of this lawsuit filed in the federal courts in Sacramento. Believe that Mr. Trump is “misusing his presidential powers.” Trump declared a national emergency but there is not a threat to the USA. Declaring a National Emergency is unnecessary. On Friday the Supreme Court has ruled against Trump receive funds of 5.7 billion to billed a wall over 50+ miles. Trump states during the video that there is a threat at the southern boarders. What is this threat? Why are the American people not being made aware of such activity taking place?

“Mr Trump said he had not needed to declare the emergency but had done so in the hope of obtaining the funds for the wall more quickly. Analysts say these comments could undermine his legal arguments.”

The states joining California in the lawsuit are Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Michigan.

What is a National Emergency??

The National Emergencies Act is intended for times of national crisis. Declaring it gives the president access to special powers that effectively allow him to bypass the usual political process.

Mr Trump could be able to divert money from existing military or disaster relief budgets to pay for the wall.

Emergency declarations by previous presidents have been overwhelmingly used for addressing foreign policy crises – including blocking terrorism-linked entities from accessing funds or prohibiting investment in nations associated with human rights abuses.

The emergencies act contains a clause that allows Congress to terminate the emergency status if both houses vote for it – and the president does not veto.

With a comfortable majority in the House, Democrats could pass such a resolution to the Senate. The Republicans control the Senate, but a number of Republican senators have been vocal in their unease about the president invoking a national emergency in this case.

The resolution would however still require Mr Trump’s signature to pass, allowing him to veto it. A supermajority in both houses of Congress – currently in a weeklong recess – is needed to overturn a presidential veto.

Therefore Mr. Trump is being sued because his acts are unconstitutional and unlawful.

Cleaning Out The Closet

quote-1.jpg

Imagine cleaning out your closet. It don’t matter what season it is, pick one. You walk toward your closet and open the doors. You stand back and anaylze how your closet has a mixture of old styles and new styles. Now your rummaging through all of your clothes taking each piece off the hangers trying them on to see what fits and does not fit. You stumble across some memorable pieces that make it hard for you to let go. You tell yourself “I’m not giving this away, it can fit me.” But when you go to try it on it is clear that you have out grown this particular pieces of clothing. But you’re determined to make it fit. You don’t want to let go. So you force you body into a pair of jeans and t-shirt, walk to the mirror and say, “see it fits.” While at the mirror you’re tucking in your stomach and standing in a particular way decieving the eyes of it’s reality. But eventually you come to your senses and say, “yeah, it’s time to let go. These clothes have served me well.” You continue cleaning out the clothes trying on clothes to see if it fits or not. By time you are done you have five to seven pieces left in your closet, but the box marked donate sitting on your bed has over twenty-five plus pieces in it. You walk over to the bed with some tape and close the box. You take the box downstairs, grab your keys off the table and walk out to the car. Now you’re on the road driving to Goodwill. On your way there you’re happy because space was made in your closet enabling you to have new clothes. You make it to Goodwill and you drop off the box of old clothes. While you are waiting for your receipt one of the store clerks look through the box of clothes and say, somebody is going to have a nice wardrobe.

By nature people are naturally horders at heart. We hang on to things whether clothes, materials, answers, solutions, etc…. But remember you do grow up and out grow things. Most of the times those things that you have out grown can be passed down to someone else that is in need of it. Remember those things that you are holding onto was once passed down to you from someone else who out grown it. So why not you do the same?

I liken this unto cleaning out the closet. You throw away or donate old clothes as away to free up some space so you can have for new clothes right? Well that is how you are supposed to be with kind words, nice gestures, solutions, answers, help just all around positivity. If a person is in need of some help and you are in a particular place in your life where you can give help. Do it. Don’t sit back and watch someone struggle; holding their blessing, answer or solution in the palm of your hand. Someone will do you the same to you when it’s time for you to need help.

If you have it, give it. Hand it over and don’t be filled with regret, mumbling and complaining. Just know that what once was called old helped you. Now it’s being passed down to help someone else in need. By you doing this you are making way for the new, so it can pick up where the old left off and further you in life.

Discouraged No More

ships-dont-sink-because-of-the-water-around-them-ships-6416303.png

Discouragement (n)

  • the act of making something less likely to happen or of making people less likely to do something
  • : a feeling of having lost hope or confidence
  • : something (such as a failure or difficulty) that discourages someone

Everyday something is happening to us that we can or can’t prevent. And you know it that does suck. When certain situations are in your control and it just slips through your fingers. Man another missed opportunity. Or when certain situations arise that go undetected, situations never showed up on the raider. It’s in stealth mode. These situations come in like a flood and catch you off guard and just wipe you out. Man, that hurts because it shook up your world and left you to die. You could feel how cold it was. In its eyes you see no care, no grace, no compassion, no mercy.

9-770x470

You were not prepared for a category 7 situation. You are left not knowing what to think, what to make of this and what to do with the remains of this catastrophe.

In the words of Hustle Man, “you gotta pick up the pieces.”

tenor (6).gif

Don’t sit back and allow what has happened to you weigh you down. Don’t walk around blaming yourself for situations that were in our out of your control. Keep going. Don’t sit back and relive the same tragedy over and over again, because it won’t solve a thing. All of these things that you are constantly holding onto is a form of pity. Avoid it at all cost because pity……….. well it’s a one shot kill to your courage leaving you wasted and your situation remaining the same, never changing.

tenor (5).gif

Change your mentality and you will change your reality. Don’t think and confess with your lips that your life is over. Don’t make peace with your situation. Don’t lay out new covers, place pillowcases on pillows, and lay out bedsheets. This is not a sleep over. Give your situations the hotel treatment, “checkout is at 7pm. All calls end, turn in your keys and key cards, and any damage to the room will be added to your bill. Have a nice day and please fill out a survey through our website leaving a friendly comment about our services.” But get into the habit of waving your hands to your situations telling them “bye and don’t come back now.” 

Stop throwing yourself a pity party. Yes it happened. Yes it brought you alot of pain and misery. Yes it caught you off guard. But by you holding onto the memories of it, it’s only going to further injury to your life. Allow yourself to heal and let it go. You deserve a new beginning. Lighten the load, let that baggage go.  I liken this unto going to the grocery store buying at maximum 15 bags worth of groceries. Let’s say that you have a friend there with you. I would hope that you are not being a muscle man/women but you realizing that you can’t carry all of this home. So instead you lighten the load and hand about 6 to 7 bags to your friend. This makes walking home easier, bareable. Instead of you walking down the street struggling.

Look situations happen it’s just apart of life. There is no way to escape it. However, there is a way to deal with it. Yes there is a way to deal with it………

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30

Oneday I will say……..

one-day-i-will-say-i-did-it-18750245.png

And Yahusha said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Matthew 17:20

You know there are mountains in your life. There are mountains in your way blocking the path. These mountains are making a simple journey very difficult. However your mindset is that you don’t want anything to stand in way. So you make no excuse for not continuing your journey. So you begin to climb these mountains only to look up and notice that you are no where near the top. You were halfway up one mountain but you climb back down to the ground. You take a step back to anaylze your surroundings. You notice that there are multiple mountains identical to the one you just climbed. You begin doubting because from the look of things these mountains are Giants. These mountains present a great obstacle. These mountains are time consuming. These mountains make you feel unforsure if you are equipped with the proper materials to be able to take on such a challenge. These mountains look impossible to overcome. These mountains look firm and sturdy. They don’t look as if they can be moved. But don’t lose faith. Don’t give in or be dismayed. Don’t look at your situations with doubt and unbelief. If you were to just have a little bit of faith; keep telling yourself “oneday, I will say, I did it.” Yahuah(God) will take care of the rest he will place power and authority in your words that you will be able to tell your mountains to move and go elsewhere. What was once a impossible journey for you. Well, it will be clear of potential hazards and road blocks and it will be Possible.

Remember keep the faith and keep working. You are almost there, don’t stop. Continuously tell yourself “ONEDAY, I WILL SAY, I DID IT .”

In the words of a wise fish don’t give up just keep………..

Having the ability to drown out criticism aka not give a……….

What it do,

So this morning I was watching ESPN’s Get Up and they showed a clip from a interview that a reporter asked Mr. Westbrook about the criticism that he has been receiving about his shooting and guard play in the NBA. His response at the 0:15 was “I have been blessed with the ability to not give a f-bomb.”

Yo, let’s be real about something. Sometimes a person’s is correct about you. Other times a person’s criticism just let it roll off your back like water off a ducks back. Sometimes you gotta ignore them. If a person’s criticism was of any relevance and importance they themselves would take their own advice and be off doing better. Apparently they didn’t do that. All a critic is, is a hater who is jealous of the fact that you are going after and accomplishing what you set out to do. While they are still sitting back wishing upon a star for their dreams to come true. Or they are mad at the fact that they could not become what they are critiquing you about. A critic ain’t nothing but a fan, a spectator that looks at you and envy you for having the mindset, the courage, the will, the tenacity, the fortituted, the strenght, the determination, the ability, the balls to take that leap of faith and apply works that’s needed in order for you to go after and obtain and maintain what yahuah (God) has for you. There are so many times in life where you are striving to be more, do more and have more in life. You will have critics critiquing your every move. You will need to develop a thick skin so you can stay focus on your goals, dreams and aspirations. Sometimes in life you got to not care what others think or feel about you. You can’t pay too much attention to that outside nose. You got to just run your race. Do what the horses do, put those blinders over your eyes and just focus and stay the course. Stop paying attention to what someone is saying or doing on the left or right side of you. Just look forward and keep on going.

So this is how you treat a critic. Who is a spectator that bought a front row ticket to watch this play called, “your amazing life.”

1) Don’t pay them any attention

That is all a critic wants. You see their life is so sad because it is filled with so many questions of “what if?” You see these people are hunted by their past and are mad because they are physically present at 2019 but can’t get over the early 2000s. These are times in their life that they wish that they had back so they can be at the place in their life that feel that they should presently be in. You, you my friend because they are around you so much and watching you and others like you sore higher and higher in life is a constant reminder to them that they could and should be doing more and better for themselves. They can’t handle it and be a man/women and take responsibility for their short comings in life and seek out help, knowledge, understanding. You know get that closure they need so they can move on and have a better and more productive life. So instead they use you and others who are doing good for themselves and they try to live through you, become relevant.

2) Don’t add fuel to the fire/ keep your composer

They are constantly targeting you, because they are seeking attention that they desperately need and want. Really it’s not about you, it’s more so you are collateral in their world, it’s them moreso who they are mad at and can’t get over. They are seeking a form of relevance. Still don’t pay them any attention. Their claim to fame is knowing that they ticked you off. They got you to break character and focus on someone that is not important. Keep your composer. Yes it will bother you that they are talking but it will bother you more knowing that you responded to someone that is not worth your time, energy or effort. You have more to lose in this.

3) This is chess not checkers

tenor (3).gif

Allow them to say what they want. As for you “HEAR NO EVIL, SEE NO EVIL.” Take a second to step back and assess the situation. You have to realize that they are upset at you because you are at a place in your life that they wish they were at. At night when they close their eyes to sleep they dream of this only to wake in the morning realizing that this is not there reality. So they are hurt because they are still in the same place, stuck at the same job, living the same life for the past 5, 10, 20+ years. Now listen to me, this is not your fault, you did not cause this unto them. You are not the blame for this. However, apologize anyway and be the bigger man/women walk up to them look them dead in the eyes and talk to them. Get to know them, listen and hear their insecurities, faults and failures that they believe that they have. Next, extend your hand and offer some assistance. Offer some assistance, don’t ask them anything because they may feel like your offering them sympathy help. Say, “I can show you how to accomplish that so you can have what you want.” Be genuine about this don’t do this to be a a-hole really offer them some services, point then in the right direction.

Checkmate

4) Watch how fast their demeanor changes

Watch their facial expression, they’re going to look at you with both excitement and confusion. Meaning they don’t know what to make of this, they are stuck questioning. This is because they thought that someone like you, who they view in their eyes as having everything would never take the time out to bless them, to think about them and help them.

So this means they are blinded by their own negativity. They never would expect help. They would never see it coming. This is a perfect opportunity for you. To who much is given much is required. Take advantage and bless them whether they use it or not. Still bless them anyway.

Now sometimes this works and other times you just gotta walk the other way and “let it be what it’s gone be.” You never know that once enemy may turn into a friend. Sometimes in life people are hurt, mad, jealous, envious and bitter toward us is due to them feeling that they never had the opportunities that we have had that perpelled us into our level of success. But they are ignorant to the fact that you struggled just like them. You didn’t always have it perfect and easy just like them. You had to bust your butt just like them. They look at you through the eyes of lust, greed, covetness, not realizing that if they were to take that same energy and effort and mindset that they have toward feeling bitter, angry, regretful and hateful toward you a person who didn’t do anything to them, let alone you probably don’t even know them. If they were to turn that negative mindset into a positive one they too would be in a better place in life.

Drop the mic one time for the one time

Reminder a critic is nothing but a hater, just jealous and envious at the fact that they can’t be you and will never be able to do what you do. We call those people fans of yours.

McConnell: Trump will sign bill, declare national emergency

What is our foriegn government up to now. Yes, I said foriegn we are governed by a foreign government……USA is a title not a name.

The corporation was created for the District of Columbia, aka Washington, D.C. (not even a state), via the Act of 1871. THE UNITED STATES corporation operates under private international law with their own corporate constitution.

The corporation known as the United States of America is owned by certain international bankers and aristocracy of Europe and Britain.

Is our Government getting it’s American people ready for what’s to come?? Does this wall symoblize the protection from possible forces that it’s American citizens need protection from? Is this wall to stop nothing from getting in and so we can’t leave out?

National Emergency Definition: A situation beyond the ordinary which threatens the health or safety of citizens and which cannot be properly addressed by the use of other law. In the United States, powers were interpreted from constitutional documents to vest in the President to declare a national emergency.

All of this for a wall along the borders of USA and Mexico? Something is not making sense here. What is so important about this wall? Trump will have the power to regulate certian laws and rules just to get the wall built. If he sees fit he can have the army role up in American on civilian streets and act as acting law enforcement aka Martial law. 

So has the government been planning for this to happen for some time now? Or is this just something to test the American population; to instill fear into the hearts of all of us demonstrating what could possibly happen if the United States were to ever go into a national emergency again? Are the government getting it’s American people ready for what’s to come? Anyway all of this for some wall. Makes you wonder what’s really the significance of this wall??

What Does Declaring A National Emergency Mean?

So there have been more than 53+ National Emergencies declared and most are still active till this day.

So what is a Government Shutdown??

This occurs when Congress cannot resolve budget disagreements for the upcoming fiscal year and stops all but essential federal services. It affects a large number of federal employees, not including military personneland necessary staff. The shutdowncontinues until the government is able to negotiate a new budget bill.

So this government shutdown is  I’moccuring because of the previous bills that were to be passed as of last year only 5 out of 12 were signed into law. So I am going to leave you with this thought. What Government shuts down? I thought a government was 24/7. That sounds like a business or a corporation that does something like this.

You think I’m on b.s…………, no I’m not kidding nor joking for subscribers or views. Read this……..

The corporation was created for the District of Columbia, aka Washington, D.C. (not even a state), via the Act of 1871. THE UNITED STATES corporation operates under private international law with their own corporate constitution.

The corporation of the United States of America is owned by certain international bankers and aristocracy of Europe and Britain. 

So what are the USA people, well…………. Debt slaves who work off a debt that is owed to the international banks with interest.

Our government is not even American, we are governed by a foreign government the name “United States of America” is a TITLE it’s not a name. Welcome to the corporation we call home. America.

Why College Is So Expensive In America

Definitely this is a question that I asked myself so many times while I too was in college. This does not make any sense. When we were in elementary and high school I don’t remember it costing nearly twenty plus thousand a semester just to earn a eight grade diploma and a high school diploma.

My wife and I were having a conversation last year about the cost of school. She told me that her co-worker had mentioned during their conversation that she believes in the next five years or so that children will not be going to college anymore. I told my wife that I agree with her co-worker.

1) I believe this because school is a business and like any other business they have laws, policies, rules, regulations and procedures in place to gaurd their assets; having the companies best interest in heart not the other way around. 2) The kids have so much talent and potential that their mindset is why go spend an additional 5 years in school slowing down my earning potential. Alot of this kids have gifts and talents that are showing at a young age and they’re looking at the situation as a waste of time getting a degree in fields of study that they have no interest in seeking out work. We live in a time where people are becoming successful through Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and YouTube. They say that all they need to succeed is right at their fingers. 3) The kids are realizing that most of the conventional crap that is taught in schools are lies and there won’t be much use for it in the real world. So why spend time stressing to learning something that won’t be used? I mean let’s be honest here have you ever used thermodynamics, quantum physics, and philosophy to solve any problems in life? And to be honest I don’t blame the younger generation for feeling this way.

Schools should be teaching the children how to balance a check book, learning trades. Where are the entrepreneurships that existed back in the 70s, 80s and 90s? These things taught young men and women trades.  Also schools should be teaching kids how to avoid debt, but they can’t do that if loans are attached to the financial aid that a child recieves. I used to hear in school from teachers that a student shouldn’t have debt. If a student graduates with 40,000 in debt and their first job annual income is 38,000 a year than they are doing something wrong.

kgface

What the, you gotta be kiddin me right. Are you serious. That don’t even sound right. How in the world can students avoid debt when the financial aid has loans (subsidized and unsusidized) attached to them. And here’s the thing. I’m going to tell you a secret, places like Sallie Mae, navient corporations, great lakes higher education and others loan places have already attached hundreds of dollars onto the loans that you or your parents have taken out whether parent plus loan or a student loan like a graduate loan. They are charging you already like if you missed payments or threw the loan into deferment. They like to lie and give you a paper stating that this is what your projected payback will be once you graduate that’s a lie you’re being charged now. So as you get higher in education so does your loans. 

It’s sad because there is nothing wrong with getting a education and just simply bettering yourself. The problem is this,

1) students if you are using colleges to find yourself and leave parents or gaurd house because you are tierd of their rules. Stop now and don’t even use you and your parents/gaurdians social security number to get financial aid. All you are doing is dragging yourself and your parents down a long dark debt whole. You don’t have to select some expensive 4 year mega University to find yourself. You can go to a junior college where you won’t be in debt, spend thousands of dollars and a junior college will pay you to attend school. Just to figure something out that you can do for free.

2) college students stop changing your major if you don’t know what you want to study in college don’t go and declare b.a. or b.s. just do your general education because the financial aid place is keeping a close eye on you and how much money of theirs that you are using and are just switching majors. They will penalize you for this.

3) Since many are already in college swimming up to their eyeballs in debt do this. Stop getting your refund check from the financial aid office spending it on partying, liquor, spring vacations, the expensive college apartments, cars, expensive clothes. If some of you have a campus or off campus job don’t even use your checks to do the same.

Instead, Drum roll please.

Be wise and use that money to pay off a portion of your loans while currently in college. You can call the number of your loan provider and ask to be on a payment plan as little as $50-80 dollars and you can be paying pretty much the interest rate off your loans so that way you won’t have to later on in life be burden with paying $860 dollars or higher. It’s no fun in partying and having fun and being broke.

4) Don’t let anyone sholve down your throats “that you need to go to college and you need to be college material.” No you don’t. Why in the world would you go to a place that promises you that if you earn a degree when you graduate you will have a 6 figure salary paying job and get to do everything you always have dreamed of. That’s, that’s a lie from the pits of hell. Most colleges kids are still left searching for work in their field of study that they have majored in. They don’t tell you that most of the fields of studies in school don’t even exist in the job market anymore.

College is just like working a 9 to 5 job. IT’S NOT FOR EVERYONE. Some of you have gifts, talents, and abilities that are shining through. Go and build your own business. Be your own Brand. Cultivate what you know and have. Don’t subject yourself to this rat race called jobs and careers. Answer to noone.

Liking what you do

What it do,

I remember about 2 years ago at a job that I was working in college. I was having a conversation with my supervisor. He was telling me how he and his friends rap and how they have a mixtape on iTunes at the time. I was very interested in listening to it. So he let me hear it. I was blown away I gave him his props. I let him know that his flow was good, but when you yourself don’t know how to rap anyone who can is better. He was talking to me about his life and particular thoughts that he had swirling around in his mind. So, I looked at him and said bro, that is something that you should put in your raps. I’m sure that alot of young guys that have faced a similar situation as yourself would love to hear someone that can relate. He looked at me and said naw, naw man. Put his head down and said nobody wants to hear that.

Without even thinking I said it doesn’t matter what anyone wants to hear, don’t you want to hear it? He put his head down and eyes began to sweep the floor as if what was said had a affect on him.

You know success is measured by money, fame and fortune. So much emphasis is placed on where you see yourself 5,10 years from now. Also what is your a, b, c, d, e, f, g plan and what are you currently invested in that will perpel you to succeed. As people we rarely take the time to step back and see that success is based on liking ourselves. Is there anything about you that is of value and is cherished that you have? It does not have to be big or spectacular. It can be small, but is it something you cherish and value about you. Do you like what you do? Being able to cultivate what you do naturally, effortlessly everyday and turn it into a ssuccess.Do you like how you do it? It should not matter to you if people like or dislike. What matters is do you like it.

Based on your life how do you view success?

Valentine’s day: The Eve of the “Desired One”

Why do we wait one time out of the year to show our love, care and affection?

simpsons.gif

 

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Colossians 2:8

No matter what you may say or think most of the holidays on the calendar have pagan origins behind them.

What is a Pagan??

a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome)

one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods : an irreligious or hedonistic person

 

Valentine is the day where two people exchange candy, cards, flowers and love. It’s the time of the year where you show your significant other just how special they are. It’s the time of the year where businesses make a billion plus in revenue. However, is Valentine’s Day really about love? Where does such a holiday originate? Why the month February? Does this day have anything to do with Yahuah (God)?

Origin

Valentine’s Day is another holiday that has been “whitewashed” to hide the perverted customs and observances of pagan gods and goddesses that have been “Christianized” encouraging the world to partake in. Although Valentine’s Day appear to be innocent, the traditions and customs of this holiday originate from two ancient Roman pagan festivals 1) Lupercalia and 2) The feast of Juno Februata.

Lupercalia (Latin: Lupercalis) relating to the god Lupercus, Roman equivalent of the greek god Pan. Lupercalia is also called dies Februatus.

lead-lupercalia87.jpg

Lupercalia: The Roman’s festival of “sexual license” 

Lupercalia a bloody, violent and sexually-charged celebration awash with animal sacrifice, random matchmaking and coupling in the hopes of warding off evil spirits and infertility. This festival was celebrated on February 15th in honoring the Ancient Romans god Lupercus (The Wolf god), who is the god of fertility, agriculture and shepherds. The luperci (male priests) assisted by the Vestal Virgins (nuns i.e., daughters of nimrod) conducted purification rites by sacrificing goats and dogs in the Lupercal cave on Palatine Hill. This is believed by the Romans that the twins Romulus and Remus had been sheltered and nursed by a she-wolf before they founded Rome.

27867045_10156409860903646_7749198911602129486_n

For this fertility rite, the Luperci would first cut the skins of the goats which they had sacrificed into pieces. “Some of these would be used to cover parts of their bodies so as to imitate their god, who was represented as half naked and half covered with goat-skin. The other pieces of skin would then be cut into straps which were held in their hands. Then, the Luperci would run through the streets of Rome, touching or striking any person they met with their straps – especially women who wanted to conceive.”

source: https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/lupercal-cave-refuge-romulus-and-remus-and-roman-festival-lupercalia-004538

The instrument that the Luperci used to strike women with is called “Februa” which means instrument of purification and was made from sacrificed goats. The reason why the Luperci struck the women with februa is way to “promote fertility” since most of the women that were seized by Romulus were barren. The Roman month februarius is named after the latin term februum which mean “purification” thus the purification ritual using the instrument of purification februa is where we get the month February.

The month of February was also sacred to the Juno Februata, the goddess of ‘fever’ (febris in Latin) of love, women and marriage in ancient Pagan Rome.

“a box was provided from which single men could draw a “billet” — a small piece of paper on which a woman’s name was written. The couple would then form a temporary liaison for the erotic games to follow. They would remain partners for the following 12 months. Sometimes marriages resulted from this practice.”

The Whitewashing of a Perversion

Now the church tried to change the sexual behavior of this festival by instead placing saints names into the box and the young men would draw a billet and he would have to emulate that saint in which he drawn from the box. however, this failed and during the sixteenth century the church tried once more and failed again. However, in A.D. 494 Pope Gelasius would rename the festival of Juno Februata to “The feast of purification of the virgin Mary.” The date would also be changed from the 15th to the 14th of February to the 2nd and then back to the 14th of February. This festival was also called “The presentation of the lord,” because this is when Mary was purified in the Jewish temple after giving birth to Jesus Christ.

Constantine had made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in A.D. 325, the church leaders were trying to get rid of the pagan festivals, but Rome was unable to do so. So Pope Gelasius instead changed the holiday from the 15th to the 14th of February and called St. Valentine’s Day. This holiday was named after one of the church’s saints who was executed.

First Valentines

Who is Valentine? Who is he…….???

Valentine at the time in Rome was a popular name and it comes from the latin word Valentinus, which comes from valens, which means “to be strong, powerful and mighty.” Wait don’t this sounds familiar in the bible in the book of Genesis, Nimrod was a mighty hunter before the Lord (Gensis 10:9-11). Lupercus was the Roman version of the Greek god Pan, but the Semites called Pan “BAAL.” Baal is another name for Nimrod who established The Tower of Babel. Nimrod’s mythology is copied all throughout societies. The main ones are Egyptians, Greeks, and the Romans.

The Heart

What does a heart have to do with Valentine’s Day………???

Baal of the Phoencians and Semites. The name Ba’al (Baal) means “Lord or master” and it is mentioned throughout the scriptures as “God and Lord” which are titles of Baal aka Nimrod. In the Chaledeans language of the Babylonians, Bal, which is Baal means “HEART.”

Cupid

Why a husky man-child with a bow and arrow and wings……????

Cupid is another name for Nimrod. Cupid comes from the latin word cupere which means “to desire.” Cupid is the son of Venus Roman goddess of love. Cupid is also known as Eros in ancient Greece as the son of Aphrodite. Eros means to have love between man and women. Cupid was a archer let me remind you that Nimrod was also skilled at archery. Cupid is depicted with a bow and arrow remember Nimrod was a mighty hunter. Semiramis was Nimrod’s mother and she lusted after him, she “desired” him and later own Nimrod became her cupid/valentine i.e., “desired one.” Cupid has both cruel and happy personalities. Cupid has invisible arrows that have gold tips, he would strike men and women causing them to fall madly in love with each other. Cupid did not do this for their benefit. He did this to drive them crazy with intense passion so their lives could be miserable. Cupid would sit back and laugh at them. Cupid was mischievous. 

Valentine’s day cards

So why do we exchange them………….?????

There are at least three different Saint Valentines, all of them martyrs. You can look this up under the martyrologies under the date of 14 February. One is described as the priest in Rome, another is a bishop of Interamna (modern Terni) and the other supposedly died in Africa. These men had suffered in the second half of the third century and were buried on the “flaminian way.”

Valentine, disobeyed Claudius by performing wedding ceremonies for young men, when the Emperor preferred to see them roped into military service rather than marriage. While imprisoned, Valentine fell in love with a young girl who visited him, perhaps the daughter of the jailer. Before he was executed, he allegedly sent her a letter, signed, From your Valentine.

Red Roses

why do we give them………..????

The red rose is the flower of Venus the Roman goddess of love. It is used to symbolize fire and strong emotions

pan, aphrodite and erosThe picture is a depiction of The goat god Pan on the right, Eros at top and Aphrodite to the left. This is Nimrod, Tammuz and Semiramis.

And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.

Jeremiah 51:44-45

I just want to leave off by saying this why would you allow a holiday to dictate when you should show your love to your significant other. There are 365 days out of the year. you mean to tell me that 364 of those days are spent not caring, appreciating or showing love and care. But on that 365th day, that 1 day out of the year you’re going to spend all this money trying to prove, show and express something that you have the opportunity of doing every other day and IT WON’T COST YOU A DAMN THING.
