Good vs Greed or Wants vs Needs

Verse of the Week

Better is a little with righteousness than great increase without justice.

(Proverbs 16:8)

Thought for the Week

There is an old adage that challenges one to demonstrate they hold a certain principle by stating, “Put your money where your mouth is”. Too many Americans, and especially too many “Christians”, continue to support companies that despise YHWH and the morals that made the US known as “the land of the free and the home of the brave”.

Many of these companies, though major participants in the US, are not even US companies or have begun shifting focus away from the US. For example, PayPal's new Global Headquarters is in Malaysia not the US.

Many of the major US based companies have gone so far Left it is a good thing the world is round or they would have fallen off already. For example, Disney was once considered a bastion of wholesome entertainment for the traditional American family. Now Disney seems to operate with two main goals: hire only homosexuals or immigrants and promote this agenda worldwide! Disney is forcing American employees to train the very people who are to replace them. Employees refusing to go along with the plan lose not only their job but any severance package as well!

We are told, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (e.g. Matthew 6:21 & Luke 12:34). Are your hard earned dollars supporting companies that are against YHWH? Against the morals that made America a great nation?

Any company that supports the homosexual agenda is against YHWH (ref: Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, etc). Any company that supports abortion is against YHWH (ref: Didache chapter 2) Any company that supports Islam is against YHWH and the very principles of freedom that built America – Sharia law is not compatible with the US Constitution!

For all the complaining the Left does about capitalism it has had no problem at all with coercing companies to do their bidding. The Left likes to associate capitalism with “white” greed yet if you try to debate with them they scream like a two year old throwing a tantrum. Perhaps as “democrats” they would do well to recall the words of Democritus, “It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all”. Hate has always been a barrier to communication and the Left's hatred for YHWH, and for individual freedom devoid of “group think”, dooms most attempts at conflict resolution.

In the past power for a business was often determined by market share. Though market share still matters today, we find that businesses are so intertwined with politics that, as the line between business and government diminishes and blurs, the power of both grows. Google, et al collects internet data for the Government, Microsoft collects e-mails for the Government, Verizon collects phone calls for the Government, Facebook collects personal individual data for the Government, etc. But, it is not just tech companies: even the Target Department Store company has two forensic labs that work for the Government, license plate reader companies offer their services to police departments for a cut of the take from fines, etc. The list is huge and growing!

As another old adage states, “Follow the money”. The Left has been doing more than screaming the loudest they have been putting their money to work for several collective agendas: At the core of which is the ultimate goal of uniting Government and all businesses (not just “Big Business”). Control both and you control the population! That is why they attack even seemingly inconsequentially small “Mom & Pop” bakers and photographers. No rock is too small to be overturned.

Use the power of YHWH's Word to impact and combat the evil of others. Use the power of YHWH's Word, and your wallet, to impact and combat evil companies. Support neither the evil company nor the company of evil.

QUOTE

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants. – Epicurus

It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more, that is poor. – Seneca

COMMENT: I could not decide which quote was more appropriate so I offered both. To which I add my own: Covet not Satan and his possessions, for he has forfeited his greatest – his soul.

It is not just businesses that are hurting the morals and freedoms in the US; and YHWH's people too. The US Government has become a major threat!

STOP the Islamification of the US while we still can!

Of the 1,366 Syrians already admitted this fiscal year, 99.2 percent are Muslims and only 0.6 percent are Christians.

In the largest terrorism financing trial in US history, U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation et al. A document entitled "The Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal of the Group in North America," was examined. It was written in 1991 by a top Muslim Brotherhood operative, Mohamed Akram. Intended as an internal correspondence that was meant for the eyes only of the organization's leadership in Egypt the document is direct and to the point: It explicitly states that the mission of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America is "destroying Western civilization from within ... by [the infidels'] hands and the hands of the believers so that Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions." It also details that until such time as they are strong enough to use violence decisively, the Muslim Brotherhood's primary technique to achieve its own stated goal of "destroying Western civilization" is "civilization jihad", which is then described in detail. The document also has an attached list of 29 groups under the heading "Our organizations and organizations of our friends: Imagine if they all march according to one plan!"
