A MIRACLE? Kidnapped Christian Missionaries Escape from Captivity in Haiti. Prayers Apparently Answered!

Of Course, It Was Insane to Become a Missionary in Haiti to Begin With... Why Would Anyone Care What Religion Other People Are? and to Put Your Own Life in Danger because You want to Sell GOD to the Heathen? ABSURD! Lucky they Didn't Meet Cannibals!

Abducted Haiti missionaries describe daring escape. 

Twelve missionaries who were abducted in Haiti managed to get away on their own, their organisation has said.

The group escaped their captors at night and used the stars for navigation to trek through dense bush for hours, a spokesman said.

Christian Aid Ministries announced the group were finally free last week, after being held captive since October.

The gang that seized them had demanded a ransom of $1m (£740,000) per hostage. It is not clear if any money was paid.

In total, 17 missionaries and their families were abducted, after they had visited an orphanage in the town of Ganthier, east of the capital, Port-au-Prince. Five others had already been released.

Their ordeal brought international attention to Haiti's growing problem of gang abductions.





CIA Cocaine Contra - The US Government Imported Cocaine by the Ton in order to Fund Reagan's War in Nicaragua. Investigations and Hearings Were Held... CONCLUSION: Yes, the CIA DID Import VAST Quantities of Cocaine... NO, we can't change History... They PROMISE to not do it again... Really... Scout's Honor!

 Gary Webb wrote the Initial Newspaper article that Exposed The US Government.  This was at the time that Ronald Reagan [Mr Alzheimer's] Started the Failed War on Drugs... Just Say NO!

After Congress stopped funding the War in Nicaragua, the Reagan Administration turned to Cocaine Smuggling and Arms Sales to generate money to finance the Contras. Most famous was the Iran/Contra Hearings that exposed weapon sales to Iran but The CIA ALSO imported Cocaine and sold it as "CRACK" Nationwide. A newspaper reporter named Gary Webb wrote a series of Expose Articles leading to Congressional Hearings that ultimately lead to Public Acknowledgement by The US Government that, YES, WE IMPORTED VAST QUANTITIES OF COCAINE in the 1980s but that is History and Some Bad Employees Did Evil in the Past  and We Promise Not To Do It Again... REALLY! No one in CIA Leadership was arrested but Low Level Drug Dealers did do time. Specifically , Freeway Rick Ross... 

YES, THE CIA DID IMPORT COCAINE BY THE TON TO FINANCE THE WAR IN NICARAGUA... Since the CIA Contra-cocaine scandal surfaced in 1985, major U.S. news outlets have disparaged it, most notably when the big newspapers destroyed Gary Webb for reviving it in 1996. But a New York Times review of a movie on Webb finally admits the reality... https://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/10/05/nyts-belated-admission-contra-cocaine

CIA involvement in trafficking is usually alleged to be connected to the Contra war in Nicaragua and the Iran–Contra affair during the Reagan Administration. In 1986 its spokesman acknowledged that funds from sales of cocaine smuggled into the US had helped fund the Contra rebels, but said that the smuggling was not authorized by the US government or resistance leaders.[1]
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_involvement_in_Contra_cocaine_trafficking

The Subcommittee "did not find that Contra leaders were personally involved in drug trafficking,"[2] but it did find "substantial evidence" of drug smuggling by "individual Contras, Contra suppliers, Contra pilots, mercenaries who worked with the Contras, and Contra supporters."[2] 

The Kerry Committee report found that "the Contra drug links included ".... Payments to drug traffickers by the U.S. State Department of funds authorized by the Congress for humanitarian assistance to the Contras, in some cases after the traffickers had been indicted by federal law enforcement agencies on drug charges, in others while traffickers were under active investigation by these same agencies."[3] The US State Department paid over $806,000 to known drug traffickers to carry humanitarian assistance to the Contras.[4]

The CIA, the drug dealers, and the tragedy of Gary Webb
In 1996, journalist Gary Webb began looking into links between Nicaragua's drug-running Contra rebels and the CIA. As a recent film shows, what he found killed him... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/11485819/kill-messenger-gary-webb-true-story.html

Since the Pompeo/Bolton Coup in Venezuela Failed, They Have started singing the "Bomb Iran" Song... Here We Go Again, Choosing Sides in Someone Else's Civil War... Venezuela... That Plan Didn't Work in Vietnam, Nicaragua, Korea, Iraq, Iran or Afghanistan... MAKING THE SAME MISSTEAK AGIN AND AGIN IS MADDNESS...

Ned Flanders, Parody of John Bolton End the War in IRAN Before it Starts

Pense and Pompeo support one guy instead of some other guy In Venezuela... I Know, Let's Have Oliver North Lead the Charge... He's Unemployed... Fired as President of the NRA Yesterday... He's a Classic Example of "Rich Man's Law"... Investigated during Iran/Contra Hearings and then Convicted... Then His Conviction was Overturned on Appeal... OBVIOUSLY, he was Guilty of Funding an Illegal War in Nicaragua for Ronald Reagan and then Selling Weapons to Terrorists but... Never Served Time...

Actually, I'm NOT Comfortable with Starting a War with Iran... Genocide is __________________. [Fill in the Blank] Pundits Ask: Aren't there too many people alive today on planet Earth? Isn't Overpopulation one of our greatest Problems? We did Genocide in Iraq using Depleted Uranium Bullets... That spread vaporized Uranium all over that country increasing Miscarriages for Thousands of years... We did Genocide in Vietnam and Cambodia by Dropping Napalm and Agent Orange... Blowing UP other Countries is 'OUR THING!"

Casualties of American Soldiers reduced dramatically during my lifetime. War is simply not fashionable anymore.

When the US Government tells you to go fight pointless wars, Decline. Be Disobedient, It Might Save Your Life.

Revolution=25,000
Civil War=750,000,
WW1=116,000,
WW2=405,000,
Korea=36,000,
Vietnam 58,000

about 7,000 total in all the recent wars:
Panama, Nicaragua, Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Not Shown is the Unknown Quantity of Soldier Suicides.

Since 1975 war has changed... many wars, few Americans Die...
Now with DRONES... we can commit genocide from an office in the USA.

Here is a Revelation told to me by a Vietnam Veteran friend. It was not his fault that his men died in combat. It was JFK and LBJ that put them in harm's way. If we had not gone halfway around the world to fight someone else's civil war, those men would be alive. This understanding helped with my friend's PTSD.

One thing I learned from the book "Will" by Gordon Liddy. He states that we could have won the Vietnam War if we had simply ATTEMPTED to win. Gordon was shy about stating exactly what it would mean to Attempted to win but... I believe what he was hinting at was... an Atomic Bomb on Hanoi... we had the technology and we knew exactly what worked... Hiroshima and Nagasaki... but we did not actually try to win. Many believe that the Vietnam War was really the USA vs China... and the Vietnamese may not have surrendered after Nuking Hanoi... so If we REALLY wanted to win we would have also had to Nuke Beijing. However, the Mission was to sell a lot of weapons to the pentagon. Corporate Profit. Monsanto and Dow Chemical sold a lot of Agent Orange... and Hughes Aircraft sold Helicopters... as he sang... "There's plenty good money to be made, supplying the Army with the Tools of the Trade" - Country Joe McDonald.

I'm Reading a sequel to 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card. This book is Great! 'Ender in Exile' ... Two (2) predictions of his that came true already.
1. We would Fight War by Remote Control... like a Video Game... like DRONES... 2. Ender's brother and sister publish thoughtful essays on the 'net' as 'Locke' and 'Demosthenes' and influence public opinion and therefore political policy... kinda like Huffington Post, anonymous, online Cannabis Activists or Cop Block... self appointed sages online... Me too...


"Never has so much Military, Economic and Diplomatic Power been Used so ineffectively as in Vietnam. If after all of this time and all of this sacrifice and all of this support there is still no end in sight, then I say the time has come for the American People to turn to new leadership, not tied to the policies and mistakes of the past. I pledge to you we will have an honorable end to the War in Vietnam." - Richard Nixon Television Advertisement

We have to thank President Nixon for ending the Vietnam War. He Campaigned on Ending the war and KEPT HIS PROMISE!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL9D950B20FD5725CC&v=W3KoYveOmiQ

Nixon's Idea was Vietnamization of the War. Simply put, Let those people over there fight their own civil war... It's really none of our business.

Our DNA is evolving every generation... Not Just Physically but also Spiritually... By studying the mistakes my parents and grandparents made, I can recognise them and not repeat them... And this is not just me... 
Everyone Worldwide is Moving Forward to a Bright Future... 

Think Back to The Dark Days of the Past...
My Uncle, A Korean War Veteran Said: "In My Day, When the Government Told You to Go to War, You Just Went." Well, those Days are Gone. Since Vietnam, No One is Told to Go Fight Wars Anywhere... It's All Volunteers... 

Once Upon a time, "The Numbers Games" were Illegal Gambling... 
And The Mafia ran it...
Now we have the Lottery, Run by the State 
and the Crime of Illegal Gambling Magically Vanished.
Zero Tax Dollars are Spent on Enforcing 
The Laws Prohibiting The Illegal "Numbers Games".

Once Upon a Time, Homosexuality Was Illegal.
And there was a Lot of Tax Dollars Spent
Enforcing The Laws... Police would
send undercover agents to hang around
men's bathrooms to catch Gay Men...  
Really! They were called the Vice Squad.

A Hobby of Mine... Distributing Truth on Facebook...

Fact: JFK and LBJ have the blood of Vietnam on their hands... It was Nixon that ended the war. His policy of "Vietnamization" makes so much sense... Those people over there ought to fight their own civil war... It's none of our Business.

VK: OK, who hacked into Greg's FB and is writing like a revisionist Republican? Are you saying my first teenage vote to re-elect Nixon was the historically correct action? NROTC boy done good?

Greg Vanderlaan: I read a lot of history books, VK and while Richard Nixon campaigned against the war in Vietnam in 1968 he didn't actually end it until 1973... so he had 5 years of blood on his hands too... When we got to vote in 1972, both candidates were against the war... An insightful book is 'Will' by G. Gordon Liddy... and ALL of Bob Woodward's Books.

Let's get out of Afghanistan. Trump's Right, we're losing... just like we lost Vietnam and Nicaragua...

If we leave Afghanistan, those people over there will figure out solutions to their own problems. OR... Maybe they won't. How could we possibly care? We have problems of our own and the era of the USA being the Daddy of the world is over. Those people over there have to get along without our help... We went to war in Afghanistan because the Afghan people needed our help fighting the bizarro-world Islamic FUN-da-Mental-Twists... As it turned out, dropping bombs on their country did not help at all and actually helped recruit people to Freedom Fighter [Terrorist] organizations. Who wouldn't want to fight against destructo robots in the sky [drones] raining death? If some foreign country bombed MY home town, I'd be angry too. Have you seen photographs of Mosul? If freedom=devastation, most people would decline. The wars in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan are simply evil marketing schemes to sell weapons to the Pentagon... Big profit for easy work.  I read now that ISIS has spread to the Philippine Islands... This war between the Christianity and Islam has been going on for a Thousand years and is likely to continue for a thousand more. It's a waste of taxpayer dollars and American lives to continue this pointless fight.
