		<description>I just read &quot;Dawn&#039;s&quot; comment. I am almost sure it&#039;s a parody of right wingers and people who think like that. But the scary thing is is that I don&#039;t know for sure! There are really people who are that ignorant and misinformed! That is how indoctrinated a certain portion of the US population actually is! What is the difference between someone who &quot;thinks&quot; that way and an indoctrinated, say, North Korean? Well, for one thing, the fact of US global power makes it much more dangerous to have a population that so ignorantly sits back and supports or lets it go around the world exploiting, plundering, and mass murdering.</description>

		<description>God is saying that Bill O&#039;Reilly has nothing to look forward to in the hereafter.

God is saying that great storms shall rest on Alabama.  

1.  God is very tired of a lot of things that are happening in the world. He has used me and natural disasters as a warning. I forewarned people, to include Colin Powell, Jesse Jackson, and foreign emissaries and various members of Congress about his disappointment with what is going on in the world. Great storms shall rest on Alabama.  God is tired of racism and violence.
 Please read my letters carefully and observe. Pray if you must for understanding and remember that God has never taken a consensus from man to ascertain what he needed to address. More often than not, man has been at odds with the desires of the Lord:

4 August 2006 
The Honorable Edward Kennedy
United States Senate
317 Russell Senate Building
Washington, D. C. 20510 
Dear Senator Kennedy: 
God placed it upon my mind to forward you the enclosed. They are, among other things, letters that I have written. 
A couple of years ago, God let me know that He had not found favor with the Bush Administration. He has let me know that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld have nothing to look forward to in the &quot;hereafter&quot;. Among other things, He is going to hold them accountable for every death and injury that has occurred in the Iraqi war. 
Please observe what I have stated in my letters (insofar as weather phenomena, etc), and what is happening. They are about to intensify. 
Personally, I wanted to thank you for your efforts towards equality. God has found favor with you. Reference intent, that is a major difference with Him. This is, in part, what is meant by: &quot;Except ye be like little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.&quot; Children do things without malice - they just are. Grown men intentionally act. 
I would be honored to have an autographed picture of you. 
Sincerely, 
James E. Waller 
Since Christmas Eve (2005),  I have been standing, approximately once a week, on the Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama courthouse steps with the following signs: 

1. First Sign: 
Jesus is saying that you can&#039;t love Him and hate others because of the color of their skin. Jesus is black. Brass is yellow, but turns black when burned. Revelation 1:15. End Racism. 
Second Sign (initially used with the first sign for a few months): 
God is saying that the war in Iraq is unjust and that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld have a great condemnation in the hereafter (that grows daily). The Lord.
Third Sign (Used heretofore with the first sign): 
Martin King, whom God sent, once said: &quot;God may someday humble America due to its unjust policies of war.&quot; Thanks to &quot;W&quot;, the United States shall suffer great calamities, and there shall be days (literally/non literally) filled with darkness. Him that hath an ear, let him hear. 
These are letters that I wrote foretelling of calamities to come: 
First Letter 
James E. Waller
449 Hobbs Rd. Apt. C208
Huntsville, AL. 35803 
5 August 2004 
A few years ago, I was attending Southern Illinois University Law School. When I was accepted, it was one of the most wonderful things that I had experienced.

Immediately subsequent to reading my acceptance letter, I could feel God&#039;s presence. While I was praising God, the Holy Spirit came upon me and I began to cry (joyously).

However, I felt that God was telling me that He would put me back into school. While listening to Optimistic by the Sounds of Blackness, I continued to praise God but refused to believe that I would not complete school. After all, it was God, through answering of my prayers, that had placed me in school. 
Prior to and upon attendance at school, weird things began to happen. I constantly called upon God to get through them. Eventually, I was compelled to read the book of Job in the Old Testament. I had no choice (as to whether or not I was going to read Job), and read it in one sitting. Within a three week period, I was twice again compelled to read Job.
At law school, I did all that I could to successfully complete the program. I constantly studied and prayed for success. Although I had no trouble understanding the legal concepts, I did not successfully complete the program. I decided to stay in Illinois and enter Southern Illinois University&#039;s (SIU) Administrative Justice Program. 
One morning, while taking a bath, I noticed that my skin tone had changed to reddish-black - like where the redness meets the black on an ember of coal. Immediately, an angel of the Lord informed me that this is the color of Jesus. To be candid, I said: Damn, what the hell is going on. I was greatly overwhelmed. 
A few days later, I was guided to Revelation 1: 14-15. It was if God opened the book to the page Himself. When I read &quot;. . . his feet were like unto fine brass, as if burned in a furnace . . ., &quot; I began to think about the copper pennies that I had burned growing up - in recognition of the similarity between brass and copper when burned. 
A few weeks later, I was guided to and purchased John L. Johnson&#039;s the Black Biblical Heritage. When referring to the aforesaid scripture, it stated: &quot;Brass is yellow, but when it has been burned the color changes to very dark, near black.&quot; 
While home on a school break, God spoke to me. There was a brilliant light and my whole body shook at the sound of His voice. He spoke of things that were to pass.
After my return to Illinois, Jesus came to me in the middle of the night (around 3:30 a.m.). I actually saw a darkened silhouette of His body in front of the entrance to my apartment. There was a light about His whole body and angels were dancing and playing in His presence (like little children).
I have seen great miracles (these are but a few). 
For a great while, God has been showing me injustice and racism. He wants us to live together in harmony, no matter what race. My present girlfriend, whom I have been with for over a year, is white. She is one of the nicest persons that I have ever known, and I have traveled abroad.
However, God has shown me that a lot of whites are arrogant and or condescending. God is saying that no man has done anything, whether good or bad, without His blessing (by commission or omission). It&#039;s all for His glory, in that He is who He says that He is - the sum being salvation or condemnation. Jesus is saying that you can&#039;t love Him and hate others solely because their skin resembles His - for then, you hate Him. He is perfect in all things - even His complexion. Moreover, He is not ashame of anything that He is. 
God has become angry at the state of the world today. This is why weather phenomena, fires, earthquakes, etc., have become more dynamic. They shall immediately grow in magnitude.
The next thunderstorm, observe the muffled rumbling sound of thunder - no longer just a crackling sound. God is saying that sometimes people don&#039;t understand oppression until they too have been oppressed and or humbled. 
At one point, through a temporary service, I worked at Avnet here in Huntsville, Alabama. Although they had both a sales department and a programming center, I worked in the programming center (as a inventory specialist), which programmed electronic components.
The floor manager was Vincent Greathouse, a resident of Harvest, Alabama. One week, I informed Vincent of my experiences with God. God let me know that same weekend, while I was driving to my hometown, that Vincent was wondering whether or not he was saved.
On Monday, I informed Vincent that God had let me know that he was worried all weekend about whether or not he was saved. God moved me to inform him that he was saved.
Vincent was in awe. However, Vincent, at times, did not treat me in a manner that was appropriate to God.
One Friday night, I was reading Matthew 13:13, which states: &quot;. . . They seeing see not: and hearing they hear not . . . &quot; After reading it, I felt an immediate and profound significance of the scripture, in relation to my situation with Vincent.
On Saturday morning, around 3:00 a.m., God moved me to take a walk. I walked down the street to Challenger Middle School&#039;s football field. Once there, God called me to look up to Him. Once I looked up, the Holy Spirit came over me and I continuously thanked God, although I did not know why I was thanking Him.
Monday, I was nearby while Vincent was working at his computer. All of a sudden, he began shouting: &quot;I can&#039;t see, I can&#039;t see.&quot; I repeatedly informed Vincent that his blindness was due to his failure to heed what I had revealed about God. A coworker (Francesca Battle) reinforced my caveat. Once Vincent listened, God restored his sight.
On occasion, as God moved me, I would tell coworkers about things that were to pass. Everything that I told them came to pass, including closing of the programming center - despite visits by the home office in an expansion effort.
Approximately four years ago, I was attending the Old School Festival in Harvest, Alabama. George Clinton was one of the performers. During his performance, God brought me to his attention. He let me know that George had been worrying about life in the hereafter. God then had me point to the sky and hold up a peace sign. At this point, George reached out over the crowd to shake my hand.
God also let me know that George wanted to see my eyes, but I did not remove my sunglasses. As a means of affirmation of the things that God had whispered to him, he wanted to know if I had been drinking - which I had.
Just last week, a friend, Chase North (Alabama A&amp;M engineering student), complained of serious pain in his knee. I laid my hand on his knee and called upon Jesus and his pain immediately dissipated. 
Last, God is not happy with America&#039;s involvement in Iraq. Remember, Martin Luther King, whom God sent, once said that God may someday humble America because of its unjust practices of war. As such, God has also let me know that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld have a great condemnation (which grows daily) in the hereafter. To Him the greatest thief is not the one who steals to feed his family, but the one who steals for greed. In addition, God has shown me their cavalier attitude towards the lives of others.
Sincerely, 
James E. Waller

10 January 2005 
Pastor Garry W. Jordan
Jackson Way Baptist Church
1001 Andrew Jackson Way N.E.Huntsville, AL. 35801 
Dear Pastor Jordan: 
God placed it on my mind to forward to you the enclosed letter. It was forwarded to Jesse Jackson and Peter Jennings (ABC News), on or before 5 August 2004. If you remember, this is just before the hurricanes hit Florida. Subsequently, it was also emailed to Erin Dacy and Denise Agent of WAAY TV.
Recently, I informed a member of your congregation, Bob Alverson (former WHNT 19 operations manager), about some of the things that are contained in the letter. I also told him that one Sunday God had sent me to three churches in my hometown. Subsequent thereto, God called me to look up to Him and I could literally feel weights being lifted off my shoulder. 
I also told Bob that when I gazed upon the sky, it was filled with numerous patches of gold. Approximately two weeks ago, Bob and I were working together when I noticed that God had placed a patch of gold in the sky. Immediately, I called Bob&#039;s attention to it. A few seconds later, I pointed out another patch to Bob. 
Just before the tsunami hit, I told Bob that great tragedies were about to occur. More are now on the way. God is saying that He is tired of the present state of the world. As in times past, people are reluctant to hear God&#039;s chosen until the occurrence of great calamities.
God has been using me as spoken of in Matthew 13:49. In part, this is what is meant by &quot;Receiving a good report.&quot; This is also why the names are in the Book of Life when the Lamb opens it. God has let me know that Judgment Day is a formality. You can equate it to being convicted of a crime and then returning to court at a later date for sentencing.
God has been showing me peoples&#039; hearts, despite their attempts to hide it. Although I have been provoked to anger by many things, I have had no tolerance for racial arrogance. A lot of people have lost their lives in the hereafter.
Sincerely,
James E. Waller 
Third Letter 
James E. Waller
449 Hobbs Rd. Apt. C208
Huntsville, AL. 35803 
23 January 2005 
The Honorable Jimmy Carter
Former President of the United States
The Carter Center
One Copenhill
453 Freedom Parkway
Atlanta, Georgia 30307 
Dear President Carter: 
I just wanted to thank you for the autographed picture. Yesterday, I was most pleased to receive my mail.
I want you to know that by no means am I perfect. At times, it is a mystery to me why God came to me the way that He did. On occasion, I am prone to drinking, intemperate, and lustful. However, God has let me know that I have a great desire to be just.
Moreover, He has let me know that I have always had wisdom. When I speak of wisdom, I mean the wisdom to know that He is. As I stated in my letter dated 5 August 2004, I was compelled to read Job. As such, there have been times when I could not do simple things, such as adding two plus two. God did this to let me know that He was guiding me - to enhance my faith. I have often told Him that I would rather lose it all than not to be wise in Him.
It is a great thing to be wise in the Lord. I saw this in you. I remember: (1) your reluctance to fire Andrew Young because you knew in your heart that he was trying to bring about peace; (2) your desire to minimize loss of life in your efforts to free the hostages; and (3) your directive/initiative to end the practice of assassination by the CIA. This is why I wanted your picture, not just because you were president. 
Last, it is not just an issue of race. As I stated in my previous letter, I have a white girlfriend. God is just. As such, He has shown me his disfavor with Condeleeza Rice, due to her propensity to lie in support of unjust policies without regard for human life - no job is worth your soul. If you live to be 200 years old, it is but a short time in comparison to an eternity of hell.
I do not come with guns nor affiliation with any group, but by the authority of the Lord.
Sincerely,

James E. Waller 
Fourth Letter

22 February 2005 
His Excellency Jaap de Hoop Scheffer
NATO Secretary General
NATO Headquarters
BLVD Leopold III
1110 Brussels, Belgium 
Dear Mr. Secretary-General: 
After watching your news conference with President Bush, God placed upon my mind to forward to you the enclosed letters. The letter dated 5 August 2004 was previously sent to the British, German, and French Heads of State.
God has not found favor with President Bush. The war was started for oil and not for any humanitarian concern. The humanitarian twist emanated from America&#039;s failure to acquire a decisive victory. Everything that he is doing now is spoon-fed and perfunctory by nature. 
Please observe what I say about weather phenomena, and look at what is happening in the world. Another great tragedy is about to occur.
While Bush was speaking at the news conference, God let me know that you were thinking that he is a man of no substance. 
Sincerely, 

James E. Waller 
Fifth Letter 
James E. Waller

27 April 2005
The Honorable Bill Frist
U. S. Senate
509 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510-4205 
Dear Senator Frist: 
God placed it upon my mind to forward you the enclosed letters. They reference my experiences with Him.
Previously, they were forwarded to Jesse Jackson and Peter Jennings. In Jesse&#039;s letter, I informed him that God had moved me to ask that news of his affair not be protracted in the media. 
Please note what I say about weather phenomena, etc.( in the letter dated 5 August 2004). Since others didn&#039;t want to listen, God is saying that the United States shall immediately suffer great calamities. They shall be natural (so that there is no mistaking that they are from God) and shall continue until I am heard to His satisfaction. 
I have suffered greatly since God came to me, financially and otherwise. I once went to a friend of yours for help. I know that he is a friend because he mentioned that you were an acquaintance of his. I can&#039;t remember his name, but his house is behind the Belle Meade Mansion. He has a law firm in Nashville. I remember him stating that the rocks in his back yard were laid by slaves.
I told him how God had come to me and was rebuffed when I asked for a job with his firm. In reference to him, God is bringing to my mind the scripture that states: &quot;Tis better to not have known, than to have known and not have listened. 
Sincerely, 

James E. Waller
Sixth Letter (Sent approximately three weeks prior to the end of the Michael Jackson trial)

Mr. Terry Lewis/Jimmy Jam
C/O Flyte Tyme Productions
P.O. Box 398045
Edina, MN. 55435
Dear Messrs.:
God moved me to forward you the enclosed letters. Please note my experience with George Clinton and what I have said about weather phenomena.
Also, please inform Janet that God has shown me her brother&#039;s heart (the heart of a child), and all is well. &quot;Except ye be like little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.&quot; It is not the same for Tom Sneddon.
I am the same person that told you to tell Janet that God said she shall have love. It is a terrible thing to have a beautiful heart and not be able to share it with the right person. I have personally experienced the same. God is saying that He knows that she is weary.
Sincerely,


James E. Waller

General Peter Pace
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
9999 Joint Staff Pentagon	
Washington, D.C.  20318-9999

Dear General Pace:

God has placed it upon my mind to forward you my letters, and to tell you to resign and pray diligently.  He has not found favor with the war in Iraq; he is saying that it is an unjust war.  I also tell you this as a former Marine.  

For a good while now, God has been showing me racism and injustice.  My present girlfriend, who is white (40 years old), is a wonderful person.  We have been together for over three years.  However, when her dad found out we were dating, he asked her why did she want to embarrass him.  Her stepfather doesnâ€™t want me in their house, and once remarked that he knows that she would be with a black man (prior to his knowledge of our dating).  

I stated the aforesaid because I do not want you to think I have a racist agenda, due to the content of my letters.  I have only seen what the Lord has presented.  There are a lot of whites that I admire, and it has nothing to do with them being white.   

I still remember LtCol. Cecil L. Strouth, former Marine aviator.  As a Marine, I use to input flight training data into the Flight Readiness Evaluation Data System (FREDS).  To do so, you had to input each individual aviatorâ€™s social security number.  The last time that I keypunched LtCol. Strouthâ€™s flight data was before March 1980; however, I admired him so much that I never forgot his social security number: (deleted).  I do not have it written down anywhere.

In addition, I use to be the Assistant Staff Secretary for the Second Marine Aircraft Wing.  In that capacity, I served General officers.  I have the utmost respect for Lieutenant Generals Keith A. Smith, Royal N. Moore and John Hudson; Brigadier Generals William â€œArtâ€ Bloomer and Lloyd W. Smith (I was saddened to learn that Brigadier General Smith had passed in 2005); Lieutenant Colonels Robert G. Larson and Pat Finneran. 

I respected these men for not only their intelligence but more importantly their character and compassion.  My respect for them did not emanate from what they wore on their collars.  

For example, Admiral Frank Kelso is from my hometown of Fayetteville, Tennessee.  Members of my family once worked for his, when he was an adolescent.  One day, I saw Admiral Kelso at the Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama airport.  I asked him for an autographed picture and gave him my address.  At that moment, God showed me his heart.  I then told God that I did not want his picture.  

I am extremely serious about everything that I have written.  First and foremost, I would not lie on the Lord.  

I have suffered financially and otherwise, but still choose to serve the Lord.  In my heart, up to this point, I believe that the aforesaid men, with the exception of Frank Kelso, were persons that I could have called upon to find employment commensurate with my abilities.  There is a Boeing facility nearby and I know that LtCol Finneran is vice-president of one of Boeingâ€™s divisions.

However, I am in service to the Lord, and stand on His promises.  Congressman Thomas Reynolds, through an assistant,  once asked me  to serve as an honorary chairperson on a committee.  While the assistant was talking, I was praying to the Lord.  The Lord moved me to decline.   

Afterwards, God let me know that I am a rock, and to Him a rock is more precious than gold.  God told me that gold can be filtered with other elements, but a rock remains a rock no matter how many times you crush it.  

Sincerely,

The Honorable Edward Kennedy<br />
United States Senate<br />
317 Russell Senate Building<br />
Washington, D. C. 20510<br />
Dear Senator Kennedy:<br />
God placed it upon my mind to forward you the enclosed. They are, among other things, letters that I have written.<br />
A couple of years ago, God let me know that He had not found favor with the Bush Administration. He has let me know that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld have nothing to look forward to in the &#8220;hereafter&#8221;. Among other things, He is going to hold them accountable for every death and injury that has occurred in the Iraqi war.<br />
Please observe what I have stated in my letters (insofar as weather phenomena, etc), and what is happening. They are about to intensify.<br />
Personally, I wanted to thank you for your efforts towards equality. God has found favor with you. Reference intent, that is a major difference with Him. This is, in part, what is meant by: &#8220;Except ye be like little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.&#8221; Children do things without malice &#8211; they just are. Grown men intentionally act.<br />
I would be honored to have an autographed picture of you.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
James E. Waller<br />
Since Christmas Eve (2005),  I have been standing, approximately once a week, on the Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama courthouse steps with the following signs: </p>
<p>1. First Sign:<br />
Jesus is saying that you can&#8217;t love Him and hate others because of the color of their skin. Jesus is black. Brass is yellow, but turns black when burned. Revelation 1:15. End Racism.<br />
Second Sign (initially used with the first sign for a few months):<br />
God is saying that the war in Iraq is unjust and that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld have a great condemnation in the hereafter (that grows daily). The Lord.<br />
Third Sign (Used heretofore with the first sign):<br />
Martin King, whom God sent, once said: &#8220;God may someday humble America due to its unjust policies of war.&#8221; Thanks to &#8220;W&#8221;, the United States shall suffer great calamities, and there shall be days (literally/non literally) filled with darkness. Him that hath an ear, let him hear.<br />
These are letters that I wrote foretelling of calamities to come:<br />
First Letter<br />

Huntsville, AL. 35803<br />
5 August 2004<br />
A few years ago, I was attending Southern Illinois University Law School. When I was accepted, it was one of the most wonderful things that I had experienced.</p>
<p>Immediately subsequent to reading my acceptance letter, I could feel God&#8217;s presence. While I was praising God, the Holy Spirit came upon me and I began to cry (joyously).</p>
<p>However, I felt that God was telling me that He would put me back into school. While listening to Optimistic by the Sounds of Blackness, I continued to praise God but refused to believe that I would not complete school. After all, it was God, through answering of my prayers, that had placed me in school.<br />
Prior to and upon attendance at school, weird things began to happen. I constantly called upon God to get through them. Eventually, I was compelled to read the book of Job in the Old Testament. I had no choice (as to whether or not I was going to read Job), and read it in one sitting. Within a three week period, I was twice again compelled to read Job.<br />
At law school, I did all that I could to successfully complete the program. I constantly studied and prayed for success. Although I had no trouble understanding the legal concepts, I did not successfully complete the program. I decided to stay in Illinois and enter Southern Illinois University&#8217;s (SIU) Administrative Justice Program.<br />
One morning, while taking a bath, I noticed that my skin tone had changed to reddish-black &#8211; like where the redness meets the black on an ember of coal. Immediately, an angel of the Lord informed me that this is the color of Jesus. To be candid, I said: Damn, what the hell is going on. I was greatly overwhelmed.<br />
A few days later, I was guided to Revelation 1: 14-15. It was if God opened the book to the page Himself. When I read &#8220;. . . his feet were like unto fine brass, as if burned in a furnace . . ., &#8221; I began to think about the copper pennies that I had burned growing up &#8211; in recognition of the similarity between brass and copper when burned.<br />
A few weeks later, I was guided to and purchased John L. Johnson&#8217;s the Black Biblical Heritage. When referring to the aforesaid scripture, it stated: &#8220;Brass is yellow, but when it has been burned the color changes to very dark, near black.&#8221;<br />
While home on a school break, God spoke to me. There was a brilliant light and my whole body shook at the sound of His voice. He spoke of things that were to pass.<br />
After my return to Illinois, Jesus came to me in the middle of the night (around 3:30 a.m.). I actually saw a darkened silhouette of His body in front of the entrance to my apartment. There was a light about His whole body and angels were dancing and playing in His presence (like little children).<br />
I have seen great miracles (these are but a few).<br />
For a great while, God has been showing me injustice and racism. He wants us to live together in harmony, no matter what race. My present girlfriend, whom I have been with for over a year, is white. She is one of the nicest persons that I have ever known, and I have traveled abroad.<br />
However, God has shown me that a lot of whites are arrogant and or condescending. God is saying that no man has done anything, whether good or bad, without His blessing (by commission or omission). It&#8217;s all for His glory, in that He is who He says that He is &#8211; the sum being salvation or condemnation. Jesus is saying that you can&#8217;t love Him and hate others solely because their skin resembles His &#8211; for then, you hate Him. He is perfect in all things &#8211; even His complexion. Moreover, He is not ashame of anything that He is.<br />
God has become angry at the state of the world today. This is why weather phenomena, fires, earthquakes, etc., have become more dynamic. They shall immediately grow in magnitude.<br />
The next thunderstorm, observe the muffled rumbling sound of thunder &#8211; no longer just a crackling sound. God is saying that sometimes people don&#8217;t understand oppression until they too have been oppressed and or humbled.<br />
At one point, through a temporary service, I worked at Avnet here in Huntsville, Alabama. Although they had both a sales department and a programming center, I worked in the programming center (as a inventory specialist), which programmed electronic components.<br />
The floor manager was Vincent Greathouse, a resident of Harvest, Alabama. One week, I informed Vincent of my experiences with God. God let me know that same weekend, while I was driving to my hometown, that Vincent was wondering whether or not he was saved.<br />
On Monday, I informed Vincent that God had let me know that he was worried all weekend about whether or not he was saved. God moved me to inform him that he was saved.<br />
Vincent was in awe. However, Vincent, at times, did not treat me in a manner that was appropriate to God.<br />
One Friday night, I was reading Matthew 13:13, which states: &#8220;. . . They seeing see not: and hearing they hear not . . . &#8221; After reading it, I felt an immediate and profound significance of the scripture, in relation to my situation with Vincent.<br />
On Saturday morning, around 3:00 a.m., God moved me to take a walk. I walked down the street to Challenger Middle School&#8217;s football field. Once there, God called me to look up to Him. Once I looked up, the Holy Spirit came over me and I continuously thanked God, although I did not know why I was thanking Him.<br />
Monday, I was nearby while Vincent was working at his computer. All of a sudden, he began shouting: &#8220;I can&#8217;t see, I can&#8217;t see.&#8221; I repeatedly informed Vincent that his blindness was due to his failure to heed what I had revealed about God. A coworker (Francesca Battle) reinforced my caveat. Once Vincent listened, God restored his sight.<br />
On occasion, as God moved me, I would tell coworkers about things that were to pass. Everything that I told them came to pass, including closing of the programming center &#8211; despite visits by the home office in an expansion effort.<br />
Approximately four years ago, I was attending the Old School Festival in Harvest, Alabama. George Clinton was one of the performers. During his performance, God brought me to his attention. He let me know that George had been worrying about life in the hereafter. God then had me point to the sky and hold up a peace sign. At this point, George reached out over the crowd to shake my hand.<br />
God also let me know that George wanted to see my eyes, but I did not remove my sunglasses. As a means of affirmation of the things that God had whispered to him, he wanted to know if I had been drinking &#8211; which I had.<br />
Just last week, a friend, Chase North (Alabama A&amp;M engineering student), complained of serious pain in his knee. I laid my hand on his knee and called upon Jesus and his pain immediately dissipated.<br />
Last, God is not happy with America&#8217;s involvement in Iraq. Remember, Martin Luther King, whom God sent, once said that God may someday humble America because of its unjust practices of war. As such, God has also let me know that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld have a great condemnation (which grows daily) in the hereafter. To Him the greatest thief is not the one who steals to feed his family, but the one who steals for greed. In addition, God has shown me their cavalier attitude towards the lives of others.<br />

Pastor Garry W. Jordan<br />
Jackson Way Baptist Church<br />
1001 Andrew Jackson Way N.E.Huntsville, AL. 35801<br />
Dear Pastor Jordan:<br />
God placed it on my mind to forward to you the enclosed letter. It was forwarded to Jesse Jackson and Peter Jennings (ABC News), on or before 5 August 2004. If you remember, this is just before the hurricanes hit Florida. Subsequently, it was also emailed to Erin Dacy and Denise Agent of WAAY TV.<br />
Recently, I informed a member of your congregation, Bob Alverson (former WHNT 19 operations manager), about some of the things that are contained in the letter. I also told him that one Sunday God had sent me to three churches in my hometown. Subsequent thereto, God called me to look up to Him and I could literally feel weights being lifted off my shoulder.<br />
I also told Bob that when I gazed upon the sky, it was filled with numerous patches of gold. Approximately two weeks ago, Bob and I were working together when I noticed that God had placed a patch of gold in the sky. Immediately, I called Bob&#8217;s attention to it. A few seconds later, I pointed out another patch to Bob.<br />
Just before the tsunami hit, I told Bob that great tragedies were about to occur. More are now on the way. God is saying that He is tired of the present state of the world. As in times past, people are reluctant to hear God&#8217;s chosen until the occurrence of great calamities.<br />
God has been using me as spoken of in Matthew 13:49. In part, this is what is meant by &#8220;Receiving a good report.&#8221; This is also why the names are in the Book of Life when the Lamb opens it. God has let me know that Judgment Day is a formality. You can equate it to being convicted of a crime and then returning to court at a later date for sentencing.<br />
God has been showing me peoples&#8217; hearts, despite their attempts to hide it. Although I have been provoked to anger by many things, I have had no tolerance for racial arrogance. A lot of people have lost their lives in the hereafter.<br />

The Honorable Jimmy Carter<br />
Former President of the United States<br />
The Carter Center<br />
One Copenhill<br />
453 Freedom Parkway<br />
Atlanta, Georgia 30307<br />
Dear President Carter:<br />
I just wanted to thank you for the autographed picture. Yesterday, I was most pleased to receive my mail.<br />
I want you to know that by no means am I perfect. At times, it is a mystery to me why God came to me the way that He did. On occasion, I am prone to drinking, intemperate, and lustful. However, God has let me know that I have a great desire to be just.<br />
Moreover, He has let me know that I have always had wisdom. When I speak of wisdom, I mean the wisdom to know that He is. As I stated in my letter dated 5 August 2004, I was compelled to read Job. As such, there have been times when I could not do simple things, such as adding two plus two. God did this to let me know that He was guiding me &#8211; to enhance my faith. I have often told Him that I would rather lose it all than not to be wise in Him.<br />
It is a great thing to be wise in the Lord. I saw this in you. I remember: (1) your reluctance to fire Andrew Young because you knew in your heart that he was trying to bring about peace; (2) your desire to minimize loss of life in your efforts to free the hostages; and (3) your directive/initiative to end the practice of assassination by the CIA. This is why I wanted your picture, not just because you were president.<br />
Last, it is not just an issue of race. As I stated in my previous letter, I have a white girlfriend. God is just. As such, He has shown me his disfavor with Condeleeza Rice, due to her propensity to lie in support of unjust policies without regard for human life &#8211; no job is worth your soul. If you live to be 200 years old, it is but a short time in comparison to an eternity of hell.<br />
I do not come with guns nor affiliation with any group, but by the authority of the Lord.<br />
Sincerely,</p>

NATO Secretary General<br />
NATO Headquarters<br />
BLVD Leopold III<br />
1110 Brussels, Belgium<br />
Dear Mr. Secretary-General:<br />
After watching your news conference with President Bush, God placed upon my mind to forward to you the enclosed letters. The letter dated 5 August 2004 was previously sent to the British, German, and French Heads of State.<br />
God has not found favor with President Bush. The war was started for oil and not for any humanitarian concern. The humanitarian twist emanated from America&#8217;s failure to acquire a decisive victory. Everything that he is doing now is spoon-fed and perfunctory by nature.<br />
Please observe what I say about weather phenomena, and look at what is happening in the world. Another great tragedy is about to occur.<br />
While Bush was speaking at the news conference, God let me know that you were thinking that he is a man of no substance.<br />
Sincerely, </p>

The Honorable Bill Frist<br />

Washington, D.C. 20510-4205<br />
Dear Senator Frist:<br />
God placed it upon my mind to forward you the enclosed letters. They reference my experiences with Him.<br />
Previously, they were forwarded to Jesse Jackson and Peter Jennings. In Jesse&#8217;s letter, I informed him that God had moved me to ask that news of his affair not be protracted in the media.<br />
Please note what I say about weather phenomena, etc.( in the letter dated 5 August 2004). Since others didn&#8217;t want to listen, God is saying that the United States shall immediately suffer great calamities. They shall be natural (so that there is no mistaking that they are from God) and shall continue until I am heard to His satisfaction.<br />
I have suffered greatly since God came to me, financially and otherwise. I once went to a friend of yours for help. I know that he is a friend because he mentioned that you were an acquaintance of his. I can&#8217;t remember his name, but his house is behind the Belle Meade Mansion. He has a law firm in Nashville. I remember him stating that the rocks in his back yard were laid by slaves.<br />
I told him how God had come to me and was rebuffed when I asked for a job with his firm. In reference to him, God is bringing to my mind the scripture that states: &#8220;Tis better to not have known, than to have known and not have listened.<br />
Sincerely, </p>

Also, please inform Janet that God has shown me her brother&#8217;s heart (the heart of a child), and all is well. &#8220;Except ye be like little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.&#8221; It is not the same for Tom Sneddon.<br />
I am the same person that told you to tell Janet that God said she shall have love. It is a terrible thing to have a beautiful heart and not be able to share it with the right person. I have personally experienced the same. God is saying that He knows that she is weary.<br />

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff<br />
9999 Joint Staff Pentagon<br />
Washington, D.C.  20318-9999</p>
<p>Dear General Pace:</p>
<p>God has placed it upon my mind to forward you my letters, and to tell you to resign and pray diligently.  He has not found favor with the war in Iraq; he is saying that it is an unjust war.  I also tell you this as a former Marine.  </p>
<p>For a good while now, God has been showing me racism and injustice.  My present girlfriend, who is white (40 years old), is a wonderful person.  We have been together for over three years.  However, when her dad found out we were dating, he asked her why did she want to embarrass him.  Her stepfather doesnâ€™t want me in their house, and once remarked that he knows that she would be with a black man (prior to his knowledge of our dating).  </p>
<p>I stated the aforesaid because I do not want you to think I have a racist agenda, due to the content of my letters.  I have only seen what the Lord has presented.  There are a lot of whites that I admire, and it has nothing to do with them being white.   </p>
<p>I still remember LtCol. Cecil L. Strouth, former Marine aviator.  As a Marine, I use to input flight training data into the Flight Readiness Evaluation Data System (FREDS).  To do so, you had to input each individual aviatorâ€™s social security number.  The last time that I keypunched LtCol. Strouthâ€™s flight data was before March 1980; however, I admired him so much that I never forgot his social security number: (deleted).  I do not have it written down anywhere.</p>
<p>In addition, I use to be the Assistant Staff Secretary for the Second Marine Aircraft Wing.  In that capacity, I served General officers.  I have the utmost respect for Lieutenant Generals Keith A. Smith, Royal N. Moore and John Hudson; Brigadier Generals William â€œArtâ€ Bloomer and Lloyd W. Smith (I was saddened to learn that Brigadier General Smith had passed in 2005); Lieutenant Colonels Robert G. Larson and Pat Finneran. </p>
<p>I respected these men for not only their intelligence but more importantly their character and compassion.  My respect for them did not emanate from what they wore on their collars.  </p>
<p>For example, Admiral Frank Kelso is from my hometown of Fayetteville, Tennessee.  Members of my family once worked for his, when he was an adolescent.  One day, I saw Admiral Kelso at the Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama airport.  I asked him for an autographed picture and gave him my address.  At that moment, God showed me his heart.  I then told God that I did not want his picture.  </p>
<p>I am extremely serious about everything that I have written.  First and foremost, I would not lie on the Lord.  </p>
<p>I have suffered financially and otherwise, but still choose to serve the Lord.  In my heart, up to this point, I believe that the aforesaid men, with the exception of Frank Kelso, were persons that I could have called upon to find employment commensurate with my abilities.  There is a Boeing facility nearby and I know that LtCol Finneran is vice-president of one of Boeingâ€™s divisions.</p>
<p>However, I am in service to the Lord, and stand on His promises.  Congressman Thomas Reynolds, through an assistant,  once asked me  to serve as an honorary chairperson on a committee.  While the assistant was talking, I was praying to the Lord.  The Lord moved me to decline.   </p>
<p>Afterwards, God let me know that I am a rock, and to Him a rock is more precious than gold.  God told me that gold can be filtered with other elements, but a rock remains a rock no matter how many times you crush it.  </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>

		<description>It sounds like we have a lot of bloggers here who are between say...15 &amp; 22. I am guessing this partly because of the language being used in this blog...a lot of attacks aimed at O&#039;Reilly, but not much understanding about why he made those comments.

Those of you who are young have had &quot;diversity&quot; shoved down your throats at school and elsewhere so much that it&#039;s hard not to assume all white people are racists. How sad.

Anyway, if you&#039;d listed to the entire conversation between O&#039;Reilly and McCain...and if you knew enough about how desperate the Democrats have been to take over our country and some of the immoral, if not ILLEGAL, tactics they&#039;ve been using for the past 7+ years, O&#039;Reilly&#039;s comment would make a lot more sense...and I think be much less offensive.

Do you realize that hundreds, if not thousands, of illegals were able to register to vote before the last national election? They weren&#039;t allowed to do so, but somehow they got through the system. Do you also realize that many of these illegals actually casted their votes? DOESN&#039;T THAT MAKE YOU ANGRY? I don&#039;t go to their home countries and vote in their elections...I don&#039;t have the right to do that...I&#039;m not a citizen, so I can&#039;t vote. 

Why do you think most of these illegal voters registered and voted? In most cases it&#039;s because desperate democrats conned them into it. They wanted to win...and were willing to bend teh Constitution in order to do that. 

I believe the discussion between O&#039;Reilly and McCain was about the Dems bringing in millions of illegals and then drafted a way to allow the newcomers to vote - with a Dem. House and Senate, it may not be impossible. Most illegals, at least those from Mexico, would be very likley to vote democrate. Many (most?) who come here from Mexico do so because they are struggling financially. They come in hopes of finding work and making a good life for their families. That&#039;s great! The unfair political sway comes from the tendancy of democrats being &quot;tax and spend&quot; happy. Those of us with jobs paying more than minimum wage are taxed half to death...so we can give services to the less fortunate. I&#039;m all for helping out people in legitimate need...temporarily unless they are too old or disabled to be able to make it on their own. But I am NOT happy about suddenly bringing in another 20-40 million people who need health care, welfare, education, etc...at our expense. Who knows how long it&#039;ll take families to get on their feet? Especially when so many come at once. I like O&#039;Reilly&#039;s idea of putting a cap on the number of workers that can come in. It for everyone&#039;s good. Our economy can only absorb so much before showing signs of falling apart.

O&#039;Reilly was simply trying to express (in a tacky way perhaps) that he feared an attempt by the Democrats to use a mass influx of foreign voters to insure a demo victory. The Christian part of his comment was likely in response to how Christians are losing more rights, more rapidly than anyone else in the country right now. We are helplessly watching our country embrace the &quot;rights&quot; of women to murder their unborn children in brutal ways. We are seeing gay activists and the ACLU gestapo tear down the value of marriage, family, and abstinence. Christians are being threatened when they stand up for traditional American values...and the far left liberals want to remove more and more of those values until we are a country with no real culture...except that we bow down to the United Nations and other global entities.

Ok...my soapbox time is over for now. LOL  Please listen to the whole conversation and read a little history about why O&#039;Reilly was so upset about the Dems bringing in &quot;ringers&quot; to fix the election.</description>

<p>I believe the discussion between O&#8217;Reilly and McCain was about the Dems bringing in millions of illegals and then drafted a way to allow the newcomers to vote &#8211; with a Dem. House and Senate, it may not be impossible. Most illegals, at least those from Mexico, would be very likley to vote democrate. Many (most?) who come here from Mexico do so because they are struggling financially. They come in hopes of finding work and making a good life for their families. That&#8217;s great! The unfair political sway comes from the tendancy of democrats being &#8220;tax and spend&#8221; happy. Those of us with jobs paying more than minimum wage are taxed half to death&#8230;so we can give services to the less fortunate. I&#8217;m all for helping out people in legitimate need&#8230;temporarily unless they are too old or disabled to be able to make it on their own. But I am NOT happy about suddenly bringing in another 20-40 million people who need health care, welfare, education, etc&#8230;at our expense. Who knows how long it&#8217;ll take families to get on their feet? Especially when so many come at once. I like O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s idea of putting a cap on the number of workers that can come in. It for everyone&#8217;s good. Our economy can only absorb so much before showing signs of falling apart.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Reilly was simply trying to express (in a tacky way perhaps) that he feared an attempt by the Democrats to use a mass influx of foreign voters to insure a demo victory. The Christian part of his comment was likely in response to how Christians are losing more rights, more rapidly than anyone else in the country right now. We are helplessly watching our country embrace the &#8220;rights&#8221; of women to murder their unborn children in brutal ways. We are seeing gay activists and the ACLU gestapo tear down the value of marriage, family, and abstinence. Christians are being threatened when they stand up for traditional American values&#8230;and the far left liberals want to remove more and more of those values until we are a country with no real culture&#8230;except that we bow down to the United Nations and other global entities.</p>
<p>Ok&#8230;my soapbox time is over for now. LOL  Please listen to the whole conversation and read a little history about why O&#8217;Reilly was so upset about the Dems bringing in &#8220;ringers&#8221; to fix the election.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=3837144', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Bill-zero said, &quot;They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which youâ€™re a part, and so am I&quot;.  Ah, I see Bill, you are counting yourself part of the elite! It&#039;s good of you to announce how important you are, as I never would&#039;ve guessed! Now, let&#039;s get real Bill, you HAVE NO POWER, you are a PISS ANT to the real &quot;white, Christian male power structure&quot;, and including yourself in with McCain&#039;s circle is totally inappropriate and downright pitiful, really. McCain probably had to stifle himself from throwing up when you announced this to the world. Bill, you  remind me of the guy who never gets invited by his co-workers to go on the annual fishing trip so you secretly rent a cabin ahead of time then when you think the time is right you announce to the boys you have a cabin all reserved for the trip. Yup, all taken care of boys, we&#039;re gonna have a good fishing trip this year alright. Fu*king loser.</description>

		<description>I read most of these posts. I am impressed with the majority of the people here . Their Efforts to stamp out hate is truly something that comes from their heart and shows the nature of the people here .
The problem is  You all seem to HATE much more then those whom you accuse of hate speech!I expect to be called a troll for this but what I actually am is a person with a differing opinion . (something most of you purport to respect ) I am an Immigrant and a Naturalized Citizen as well.

I have seen it expressed that the current powers structure is not to your Liking .. Hmmm, these are the people whom have struggled and fought for your Freedom to express yourselves and to effect the Biased speech you call progressive,  it is progressive in some respect I agree But I have read the Blog form the other side  and I have to say you all take the Top prise for hating things that you don&#039;t agree with. 

You say the other side uses code speak . ok! When you find a differing opinion you call it racist this gives you the moral authority to dismiss anything said  by that person without ever challenging the fact or the basis of the argument. You also seem to feel being a white Christian male is a BAD!! thing  Why? is it because as our society  was maturing just like peoples all over the world were , that we did some thing that by todays standards where though immoral. 
Ok  fine!  but if these People who were in power didn&#039;t help effect the changes that have brought us to a more mature and hopefully Better place , then it should not have happened . 
 I submit to you that haters exist here in this bastion of People who are supposed to above all respect  the differences in other 
Nuff said 

I have read where someone with a fair and decent argument was dismissed out of hand for a spelling error  . Way to go that take courage thought and firm beliefs to do that . 
I can honestly say that as Hate disrespect and dismissal of differing opinions go you all have the corner on the market  . 
So much for the tolerant Progressives .

I also suggest you  find any other country that treat it&#039;s immigrant better 
I dont feel bad for those who broke the laws to get here as far as I am concerned they are felons . If they are not  then why did I spend 12 years playing but the Law of the land to get my citizenship</description>

		<description>That putzes like Bill can get a platform at all shows how desperate these dinosaurs are to preserve their way of life. He&#039;s laying out the stakes for the faithful here, and might as well say he&#039;s scared out of his starched tighty-whities to ever be in a minority position himself.</description>

		<description>Ironically, the WMC powerbase, at least the extreme christian right, share SO much in common with thier extreme muslim enemies. It&#039;s hillarious and we are all getting a big kick out of you two crazy kids duking it out for the keys to heaven, LOL! Basically, you all should get together and perform mass genocide on everyone who is not Jewish, Christian or Muslim. THen, you get to fight over the trip to CandyLand. It&#039;ll be tough, because each team feels &quot;Hey, it&#039;s only MY team that gets to go...I have a book that SAYS IT&quot;S TRUE!!&quot;. Jews and Christians better stick together (at first) cus Muslims are the largest religious population on the planet. 

And in light of that, since almost every nation is part of a global community, my so-called master race would lose miserably. Before, people would defend slaughter and or slavery of other races by saying &quot;Hey, we won, so it&#039;s god&#039;s will, right?&quot; Not just us Caucusites either. It&#039;s happened in almosts every major culture throughout history (the pimping of religion for finacial gain, that is). If that&#039;s the path you follow, us Whiteys (and specifically christians) are the minority, and about to lose...big time. So, is that God&#039;s will, too? Or is everyone just tired of us shitting on them in the last three centuries? Make no mistake, the same way some of you see all blacks or all &#039;middle eastern people&#039; as the same general group, they all see us as the same. UK, Germany, France, US, whatever. Poor people of color see white, greedy, complainy, brats. Not saying that&#039;s good, just that, people are people man, and we all hate in the same manner. Again, Americans get a bad rap. Per houshold, we work a ton of hours each week, chasing a goal that usually winds up in unrecoverable debt. All to have a wife and kid. Or whatever your pleasure. Sadly, if the planet was a democracy, we would be the smallest voting group. Our opinions are not popular precisely because they are not part of the popular opinion. You better get used to it, or you WILL be hiding in the hills in Canada, skulking behind your refridgerator with a rifle. But that&#039;s what ignorant cats are into. They love that sh** cause it makes them feel tough. Maybe if they stopped blaming everyone else for their problems and went and made some more money, they would be happier, and STFU! Go play paintball, jerk off, have a drink, and chill the f*** out PLEASE!!
(ok, I&#039;m done ranting on my tangent. You may proceed)</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Catholicism is not the reason why Latin America didnâ€™t develop the same as the U.S. It was simply a means to oppress and to enable the exploitation of the Americas.&lt;/strong&gt;

Just to be clear, this is my point.

There is &lt;em&gt;not &lt;/em&gt;an independent positive correlation between skin color and national success, as implied by O&#039;Reilly and several posters on this thread. Any correlation is an historical accident by the evidence and reasons I&#039;ve presented.

There is a negative correlation between Christian socio-political domination and open/free/non-oppressive nations, contrary to the insinuations of O&#039;Reilly and several posters on this thread.

In other words, the veneration of the &quot;white Christian&quot; power structure is dead wrong on both counts. If we are going to venerate something as a success to be preserved, it would be the &quot;color blind, faith blind&quot; power structure as embodied within the US Constitution.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The truth is that the Muslim civilization had their enlightenment period well before Europe did. Only recently in the last Century or so have they declined.&lt;/strong&gt;

I agree. This doesn&#039;t change what I said. Islam today, to a disturbing degree, has regressed to a dark age attitude that may take hundreds of years to overcome.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Catholicism is not the reason why Latin America didnâ€™t develop the same as the U.S. It was simply a means to oppress and to enable the exploitation of the Americas. &lt;/strong&gt;

I fail to see a meaningful distinction between Catholicism being the reason and Catholicism being a means / a tool. Sure, selfish and unassailable power are the real &quot;reason&quot; behind oppression and religion is the excuse for it, but this is just two ways of saying the same thing. Enlightenment and Catholicism are essentially opposing forces. Where such religion does not oppress, it is because it is not the dominant force.</description>

		<description>Bill O finally said what he&#039;s been wanting to say for years.  He and the majority of the elected official in Washington who happen to be white should run this Country forever.  Forget the Blacks, Asains, Hispanics, American Indian, and anyone else.  By God this country was founded by white males, and he, McCain, and the other idiots in Washington intend to keep it that way.

If Bill O was in charge the others wouldn&#039;t have the right to vote or anything else.  That&#039;s what Ruppard Murdock wants, a perminate white male dominated society, and screw the rest.  It doesn&#039;t matter that Ruppard isn&#039;t from the United States, he&#039;s a Nazi and he&#039;s wants a white male government.  I guess the rest of us should just pack up and go elsewhere.</description>

		<description>#167 gorn by any other name

&quot;Muslim countries, wellâ€¦. many of them seem to be still in the midst of their own Dark Age period, so maybe in another 500 years theyâ€™ll have an Enlightenment too.&quot;

You are historically and factually innacurate. The truth is that the Muslim civilization had their enlightenment period well before Europe did. Only recently in the last Century or so have they declined. The most rapid decline and the seeds of the darkest Muslim period began when the Europeans and the Unites States began meddling in Muslim nations afairs over the last 60 years or so. These nations have not been allowed to flurish, and have been pushed into a dark age by U.S. and Europe.</description>

Catholicism is not the reason why Latin America didn&#039;t develop the same as the U.S. It was simply a means to oppress and to enable the exploitation of the Americas. If you look into this, Catholicism in Europe and Catholicism in the Americas were vastly different from one another. In the end, it was simply a tool of the white European to pillage, rape, and plunder.</description>
