Political Withdrawal?.

Augustine considers the same problem: What to do with his promising political career? As a teacher preparing students for rhetoric and law, he trained them for such worthless projects as public affairs, which were dangerous to man in almost every way.

In the famous scene in Book 8 of the Confessions, Augustine encounters the Life of Anthony, the African monk. Augustine sees that he must withdraw from involvement in public life. He cites Ponticianus who, in the city of Treves, on reading this Life of Anthon, asked himself: “What do we hope to gain by all the efforts we make? What are we looking for? What is our purpose in serving the State? Can we hope for anything better at Court than to be the Emperor’s friends?”

New York, New York – K2 Global Communications Llc in response to the death of Whitney Houston is again speaking up on the issue of substance abuse and celebrity personality clientele.

Hollywood and the Recording Industry feed the celebrities’ personal demons much in the same way drug pushers and pimps feed the personal demons of others to control, enslave them for their service.

Before we continue, we must point out that the problems associated with child actors more often than not originate with the parents.  One of the worst forms of child abuse is the beauty pageants and reality shows such as Toddlers and Tiaras.

The program(s) we tailor fit for our clients are not at all like the Celebrity Rehab nonsense which do little to address the real, core issues and provide behavior modification.

• We draw from our military structured living experience which stresses personal responsibility with the importance of individual success for the success of society.
• Faith based applications for living combined with physical fitness.
• A number of clients were placed in a medically induced coma at major medical facilities in order to have their bodies purged of the toxins (drugs) allowing the body to heal itself in the stimulus, craving, nervous system and brain function areas.

Daniel von Bargen, Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Katy Perry, Demi Moore, Britney Spears, Kate Moss, Miley Cyrus, Macauly Culkin, Lady Gaga, Katherine McPhee, Gary Busey, Charlie Sheen, Vanessa Hudgens, Lindsay Lohan, Dana Plato, Todd Bridges, Leif Garrett, Danny Bonaduce, Maureen McCormick, Jody Sweetin, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Jim Morrison, Shannon Hoon, Michael Hutchence, James Dean, Elvis, Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson, Cory Haim, Curt Cobain,  River Pheonix, Brittany Murphy, Yasmine Bleeth, Jaime Pressly, John Belushi, Paula Yates, Hillel Slovak, Billie Holiday, Ken Caminiti, Bridgette Anderson, Chris Farley, Tim Hardin, Donyale Luna, John Kordic, Len Bias, Judy Garland,Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Heath Ledger, Owen Wilson, Heather O’Rourke, Isadora Duncan, Bruce Lee, Marc Bolan, Natalie Wood, Vic Morrow, Tennessee Williams, Marvin Gaye, Brandon Lee, Selena, Tupac Shaker, Jeff Buckley, Phil Hartman, Owen Hart, Aaliyah,  Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, Jam Master Jay, David Carradine,   …Some We Lost, Some Still With Us; What names have we not heard of yet?  Who is Next?

The problems we deal with from our clients are not limited to substance abuse either.  The Heroin Sheik look forced upon celebrities brings to the forefront a host of other issues which include but are not limited to:

• Body Image: Eating Disorders, Starvation, Vanity Surgery.
• Dangerous dieting that leads to heart, kidney, liver and other life threatening vital organ damage.  The dirty secret of Hollywood is Female Celebrity Heart Attacks…Ssssh!
• Divorce/Broken Families.
• Suicide.
• Excessive lifestyles that only politicians in Washington, DC can compete with.
• Sextapes/Sexting Leaks.

We successfully integrate our clients back into their careers, acting and music, with a greater sense of self-worth, empowerment and purpose for their lives.

Southern Fury Storms Across Music Scene...We Are Southern Fury Loud~N~Proud!

Click~2~Play Don’t Mind Sayin’ (Live)

“We can’t begin to say enough GOOD, about our Brothers of “SOUTHERN FURY”! For those of you who haven’t yet had the oppertunity to aquaint yourself with this remarkable band, they are most deffinately, one band that you’re gonna “LOVE”! Southern Fury is notorious for the kind of Kick Ass, Southern Rock, that has made this genre, the Bad Ass Breed of Music that we have all come to love so much! Now to put aside their immence musical talents, We would also like to express just how fortunate we are, to have the distinct privilege of calling these guys our frynds & brothers, because every one of them are in fact, genuinely “Good People”,  that’s something, that we don’t ever express lightly. In this age of TRENDY PLASTIC POP STARS, these here guys are “THE REAL MCCOY” & we’re proud as hell to say that we are SOUTHERN FURIONS!” -The Young Brothers

Southern Fury Storms across music scene…We Are Southern Fury

New York, New York — In response to the howling of their Loud~N~Proud loyal fans known as Southern Furions, Southern Fury, Manassas, VA based Rock / Southern Rock / Blues Rock Band launched their Facebook Fan Page at: BE SOUTHERN FURION!

“I Am Southern Furion!

Southern Rock has risen up to fill the great void in music today.  As part of The Southern Rock Community, Southern Fury has stormed across the music scene defying convention yet never forgetting from whence they came, whom to call brother, sister, their Loud~N~Proud loyal fans, The Southern Furions.  Fan ‘em up on Facebook…BE SOUTHERN FURION!”-Legendary Radio Icon Zach Martin.

Southern Fury was born back in the early 80’s in the sleepy little town of Springfield Virginia.  It all began when Dave “DJ” Fernandez got a call from a college buddy of his named Jamie Magarry, who was playing bass in punk rock bands at the time.  Jamie knew of DJ’s musical interests and told him that he had found two guys living in the area that were interested in forming a southern rock band.  This was literally “music” to DJ’s ears.

Jaimie told DJ that Tom Fowler, a southern rock lead guitarist, and Steve Kerndt, a   southern rock drummer, had been playing together since they were kids. Jaimie suggested that they all get together, jam, see how things felt and hear how they sounded.  That jam turned into the nucleus of the band that would one day be known, around the world, as Southern Fury.

Once the guys decided to form a band, they began rehearsing in Tom’s basement every chance they could, learning Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Charlie Daniels songs and a variety of other southern rock cover tunes.  As time went on they also added a few of DJ’s original songs and the true Southern Fury sound started to grow.  To help develop that traditional southern rock sound they decided to add a second lead guitarist, named Dave Havil. Southern Fury was finally complete and the boys began to dig up some gigs to play around town.

Their debut performance was the “now famous Kappa Sigma Fraternity party” at George Mason University.  The setting was The Library performance hall in downtown Fairfax Virginia.  The place was packed with a crazed crowd of college kids who had never heard of Southern Fury before… but would never forget them after the show.  The band rocked hard that day, sounded great and gained the respect of their first few fans!

Of course, like any start up band, it was a bit slow going at first… But the guys loved playing out and the more they played the more of a following they got.  Unfortunately time and a lack of cash, in the form of good paying gigs, began to take its toll and Southern Fury started showing signs of disbanding.  It began when Jamie announced that he was leaving the band in search of a money-making punk band (his first love).  Next, Dave Havil announced that he was moving out of state and joining another southern rock band called Sidewinder.

It wasn’t long after those two events that DJ, Steve and Tom decided to put their time and energies into other outside activities (like earning a living) and give Southern Fury a rest.  Of course no one knew that “rest” would last almost 15 years…

Over the next 15 years DJ, Tom and Steve would develop their own professional careers outside of the music business.  But music was never out of their hearts or minds.  As fate would have it, a strange series of events would eventually bring  three of them back together again… and Southern Fury back to life.

As it turns out, one day while DJ was working at the office, an employee of his named Scott, persuaded DJ to teach him to play guitar.  As DJ spent more and more time teaching Scott the fundamentals, he began to realize how much he missed playing.  He also realized that at age 41, that he had better get back in the game before it was too late.

As luck would have it DJ discovered that a good friend of his, named Dave Spindel, played bass guitar and had indicated he wanted to join him and Scott to form a new band.  Soon after they added a drummer named Carmello and a lead/rhythm guitarist named Jeff. Although they had a lot playing together, it just didn’t sound good enough for DJ.

After many attempts to create a band that had that same southern sound that DJ desired. He concluded that some changes would have to be made to the current lineup of players.  Once DJ gave Scott, and Carmello the bad news, he and Dave Spindel spent the next couple of months working with jeff and a new drummer named John Marshall. After a few more shows John decided to leave the band due to family obligations. So they continued auditioning of a number of musicians but they just couldn’t find the right mix of styles and players.

Frustrated with the current sound of the band DJ placed a call to Tom Fowler to catch up and see if Tom had been playing his guitar. As it turns out, Tom had just recently dusted off his guitar and amps and been playing again at home, so he thought it would be cool to check out jamming with a band again.  Once DJ  heard Tom play again, he knew he was on the right track.  Now all they needed was to find a drummer. Tom suggested to DJ, to give original Southern Fury drummer, Steve Kerndt, an audition. DJ agreed to check it out.

So Steve showed up, dusted his drums off and in no time at all was rocking with the band just like the good old days. It didn’t take long and Southern Fury was back at it again. In late 1998 the band found themselves on stage, opening for acts like .38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Dickey Betts, Griderswitch and many others legendary rockers.

The next ten years would prove to be the bands best years ever… writing new material, recording CD’s, playing live gigs and giving their fans what they were missing for so many years… Original southern rock that kicked-ass! With the acquisition of Dan Aylestock on bass, Southern Fury was back in the saddle again and cranking out their new original sound.

"The Nazis converted their country from a flawed democracy to a fascist dictatorship in which the rights of the individual were trampled in the interests of the state. Institutions and organizations were warped to serve this purpose.

The question no one and we mean no one is asking is how is it Politik Amerika State Security Apparatus ran their Anti-American, Anti-Catholic programme almost simultaneous to The Recording Academy Collaborators Anti-Catholic Grammy Award Attack Show’ Roman Holiday  Nicki Minaj? Coincidence or coordinated?  The answer is simple… 

“In 1985 an element of the 82^nd Airborne Division under the cloak of “combined exercise” deployed to Turkey.  The true nature of the “combined exercise” was to light up Soviet Radar defenses and wake up their tracking satellites. Ltc. Dye of the 325^th Infantry, 82^nd Airborne Division standing tall a top a jeep addressed the deploying element:  “There are three types of people.  Those who make history, those who record history and those who sit and watch history go by, today Troopers you are history makers!” -Greg Kelly Partner, K2 Global Communications Llc

The State Security Apparatus:

Fast forward to Politik Amerika February 2012. Using the very same military tactic Politik Amerika issued the now infamous Anti-Catholic Health and Human ServicesMandate and the imaginary compromise to light up, identify, track and initiate enemy of The State Dissident Catholic Databases for use by The State Security Apparatus.  Surveillance  of Email, Phone Calls, Social Media, Blogs, etc.  Example of Politik Amerika State Security Apparatus:

“The Nazis converted their country from a flawed democracy to a fascist dictatorship in which the rights of the individual were trampled in the interests of the state. Institutions and organizations were warped to serve this purpose, none more than the police.” – The Sword Is Forged     

The question no one and we mean no one is asking is how is it Politik Amerika State Security Apparatus ran their Anti-American, Anti-Catholic programme almost simultaneous to The Recording Academy Collaborators Anti-Catholic Grammy Award Attack Show’ Roman Holiday  Nicki Minaj? Coincidence or coordinated?  The answer is simple…

“None of this was by accident, and all of it was approved by The Recording Academy, which puts on the Grammys. Whether Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of The Recording Academy. Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam.” – IS NICKI MINAJ POSSESSED? The Catholic League.

Why the propaganda machine marriage between Politik Amerika State Security Apparatus and The Recording Academy Collaborators?  Look no further than the ‘Entertainment’  Classic Propaganda film TRIUMPH OF THE WILL  The film was popular in the Third Reich and elsewhere, and has continued to influence movies, documentaries, and commercials to this day evidenced by The Recording Academy Collaborators Anti-Catholic Grammy Award Attack Show’ Roman Holiday  Nicki Minaj.

As history has proven, destroy the Catholic Church’s influence on a society, tyrannical governments of death and destruction follow…Untold Human Misery is the Norm.

“Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace:

In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one.  And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God). By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints:  And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel. For which I am an ambassador in a chain, so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought.” -Epistle Of Saint Paul To The Ephesians 6:11-20

Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, president of the USCCB, sharply criticized the decision by the Obama administration in which it “ordered almost every employer and insurer in the country to provide sterilization and contraceptives, including some abortion-inducing drugs, in their health plans….Never before has the federal government forced individuals and organizations to go out into the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience. This shouldn’t happen in a land where free exercise of religion ranks first in the Bill of Rights.”

He urged Catholics and the public at large to speak out in protest. Watch his video & then take action today!

VIDEO: Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, president of the USCCB, sharply criticized the decision by the Obama administration, HHS mandate 

USCCB Responds to Misleading White House Blog Entry

“White House Misrepresents Its Own Contraceptive Mandate“

The Obama administration, to justify its widely-criticized mandate for contraception and sterilization coverage in private health plans, has posted a set of false and misleading claims on the White House blog (“Health Reform, Preventive Services, and Religious Institutions,” February 1). This new USCCB fact sheet quotes and responds to each claim in turn.

More Background

The HHS has issued a rule forcing nearly all private health plans to include coverage for all FDA-approved prescription contraceptive drugs and devices, as well as surgical sterilization. These are listed among “preventive services for women” that all health plans will have to cover without co-pays or other cost-sharing — regardless of whether the insurer, the employer or other plan sponsor, or even the woman herself objects to such coverage.

The exemption provided for “religious employers” is so narrow that it fails to cover the vast majority of faith-based organizations, including Catholic hospitals, universities, and service organizations that help millions every year. Ironically, not even Jesus & his disciples would have qualified.

During the public comment period last fall, the bishops’ grassroots campaign alone generated over 57,000 comments to HHS opposing their mandate.

Now that the Administration has refused to recognize the Constitutional conscience rights of organizations and individuals who oppose the mandate, the bishops are now urging Catholics and others of good will to fight this unprecedented attack on conscience rights and religious liberty.

More than 400 Catholic leaders have called on Congress and the Administration to protect conscience rights in health care. The open letter appeared as a full page ad featuring over 150 of those leaders in the New York Times and the Washington Post on December 21.

Remember when you got excited by the snow or acting like Huck Finn running down to the fishin’ hole not caring if you caught anything or not but just enjoying the simple moments?

New York, New York — It was Father Benedict Groeschel on his program MEDITATIONS ON OUR LADY OF LOURDES, ST. BERNADETTE  on EWTN this morning that I was reminded of the Divine Humor of God.  Also while walking to Daily Mass this morning in the Snow with my daughter realizing that when we get older somewhere life gets too serious to the point where it is easy to forget to Be Childlike…Live, Laugh, Love.

Throughout the pages of the history God has used the most unlikely of people to be His Ambassadors, to dumbfound, confuse those who think to highly of themselves then they ought and to silence those that would silence His message.

Look at Bernadette Soubirous, an uneducated sickly girl living in extreme poverty.  When questioned by a Church Authority:

Priest: Do you want me to believe that Mother Mary appears to you?

Bernadette: No, but the message of repentance she gave me to deliver to you!

or

When being interrogated by the police everyone had thought she was scared and being tortured when they saw her tears but the truth was she was laughing so hard at the police she had tears flying everywhere. [We also tend to forget that many of the people called Saints by the Catholic Church led nefarious lives before being used by God.]

Remember when you got excited by the snow or acting like Huck Finn running down to the fishin’ hole not caring if you caught anything or not but just enjoying the simple moments?

Do you think Jesus knew the cares of life (adulthood) would rob us of our childlike innocence, sense of wonder and amazement at the world around us?  That we would forget how to Live, Laugh, Love as a Child?

God, The Trinity asks us: “Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us?”

Imagine Isaiah in the hall outside a boardroom waiting to be called in when he hears God talking to Himself as the Trinity in a closed session board meeting saying “Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us?” Now imagine Isaiah throwing open the board room doors presenting himself before The Board (Trinity) stating “Lo, here am I, send me.” -Greg Kelly Partner K2 Global Communications Llc

Admittedly, we have taken some liberty with the use of this text found in Prophecy Of Isaiah Chapter 6:8-13 however in light of the historical facts of Abortion and recent events centered on Amerikas government accelerated, intensified direct attack on Christians we found it fitting.

Who controls, manipulates Abortion data?

• Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI) is a research division of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.
• Amerikas Centers for Disease Control (CDC), located in Atlanta, Georgia. This institute of the federal government receives from individual states, on a voluntary basis, a report on the statistics regarding abortion in that state.
• The United Nations, World Health Organization  through various Euphemistic Heavy Programmes

Christian, are you prepared for the onslaught of persecution right here in America?

“When the government recently mandated that all private group health plans cover certain abortion drugs (namely, Plan B and ella), as well as related education and counseling, [our clients] knew that they could not obey both the government’s mandate and their own religious convictions,” said Rienzi, who focuses his practice at the Becket Fund on violations of the Fourteenth Amendment, free speech, and the free exercise of religion. “The mandate has been sharply criticized from across the political spectrum, and from religious leaders of a variety of faiths.” – Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

With over 54 Million innocent children murdered in Amerika since Roe v. Wade with many Christians complicit in twentieth and twenty-first century genocide, did you think Amerika would escape His Justice of Judgments?

So if today you hear God in the boardroom talking to Himself as The Trinity asking “Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us?”

EWTN Sues U.S. Government To Stop Contraception Mandate Network Asks Court to Stop Order to Pay for Immoral Services

EWTN Global Catholic Network filed a lawsuit February 9 in U.S. District Court in Birmingham, Alabama against the Department of Health & Human Services, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and other government agencies seeking to stop the imposition of the contraception mandate as well as asking the court for a declaratory judgment that the mandate is unconstitutional. EWTN is the first Catholic organization to file suit since the final HHS rules were published by the Obama administration on January 20, 2012.

“We had no other option but to take this to the courts,” says EWTN President and CEO Michael P. Warsaw. “Under the HHS mandate, EWTN is being forced by the government to make a choice: either we provide employees coverage for contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs and violate our conscience or offer our employees and their families no health insurance coverage at all. Neither of those choices is acceptable.”

The lawsuit was filed on EWTN’s behalf by Mark Rienzi, Kyle Duncan, and Erik Kniffin from the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.
“We are taking this action to defend not only ourselves but also to protect other institutions – Catholic and non-Catholic, religious and secular – from having this mandate imposed upon them,” Warsaw continued. “The government is forcing EWTN, first, to inform its employees about how to get contraception, sterilization and abortifacient drugs, a concept known as forced speech. To make the matter worse, the government then will force EWTN to use its donors’ funds to pay for these same morally objectionable procedures or to pay for the huge fines it will levy against us if we fail to provide health care insurance. There is no question that this mandate violates our First Amendment rights. This is a moment when EWTN, as a Catholic organization, has to step up and say that enough is enough. Our hope is that our lawsuit does just that.”
The Becket Fund previously filed similar lawsuits on behalf of Belmont Abbey College, a small Catholic liberal arts college in Belmont, N.C., and Colorado Christian University, an interdenominational Christian liberal arts university near Denver, which demonstrates that this is not just a Catholic issue. Both suits were filed prior to the HHS rules being finalized in January.

“When the government recently mandated that all private group health plans cover certain abortion drugs (namely, Plan B and ella), as well as related education and counseling, [our clients] knew that they could not obey both the government’s mandate and their own religious convictions,” said Rienzi, who focuses his practice at the Becket Fund on violations of the Fourteenth Amendment, free speech, and the free exercise of religion. “The mandate has been sharply criticized from across the political spectrum, and from religious leaders of a variety of faiths.”

Duncan, a former Louisiana Solicitor General and General Counsel of the Becket Fund, said that without a change in the rules, EWTN could be forced to pay more than $600,000 for the “privilege” of not underwriting these services.
“This mandate is particularly hard on Catholics because Catholic organizations, such as hospitals, schools, social service agencies, media outlets and others, serve people regardless of their religious beliefs,” Warsaw said. “We serve others not because they are Catholic, but because we are Catholic. “

Take Action!
Family, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty has an online petition which asks the Administration to stop the contraception mandate. Please join with us in fighting for religious freedom. To sign the petition, please go to http://www.becketfund.org/hhs/

The culture of death has spread its tentacles across post Christian, neo-pagan western society.  The insulated Americans better pay close attention thinking it won’t be here.

If you have been following any news at all you would have heard the latest assault on life from Dr. Deaths Obama and Sebelius with their mandate killings under the guise of Obamacare.

THEN:

“The idea of using gas chambers originated during the Euthanasia Program, the so-called “mercy killing” of sick and disabled persons in Germany and Austria by Nazi doctors.

By now, experimental mobile gas vans were being used by the Einsatzgruppen to kill Jews in Russia. Special trucks had been converted by the SS into portable gas chambers. Jews were locked up in the air-tight rear container while exhaust fumes from the truck’s engine were fed in to suffocate them. However, this method was found to be somewhat impractical since the average capacity was less than 50 persons. For the time being, the quickest killing method continued to be mass shootings.” -The History Place, Genocide in the 20^th Century, The Nazi Holocaust 1938-45

NOW:

February 8, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Netherlands Right-to-Die Association (NVVE) has announced that it will soon fulfill a promise made last year to open a private euthanasia “clinic” that offers door-to-door service, for people who can’t convince their regular doctor to kill them.

According to reports in the Spanish and Portuguese-language press, the clinic will serve clients who wish to end their lives, but have been refused help from doctors for “ethical” reasons. A report by Radio Netherlands says that the organization has mentioned patients who are “in the early stages of dementia and those suffering from chronic psychiatric problems.”

The NVVE intends to maintain six mobile teams consisting of one doctor and one nurse; the service will start March 1 in the Hague.  The organization estimates that it will receive one thousand euthanasia requests annually.
