Let’s get personal and very real, shall we? A reply to a friend and brother in Christ

A CROOKED PATH

After waking up this morning, filling bird feeders and setting them out for the wonderful array of winged life the Lord has made and I enjoy daily, upon grinding some oily fresh beans into a warm, healthy, inviting brew, and heading back upstairs to my wee home office where I open my email each morning the Lord blesses me with another day of life on earth, while listening to the Classical music that continually plays from the speakers of my computer. The following came to mind.

The overwhelming percentage of emails are dung and only worth opening, quickly evaluating, and trashing. I get a lot of those. You probably do as well. I imagine some folks who receive emails from me place mine in this category. Ahh, well, such is life, isn’t it?

The following email from a friend and brother in Christ is not in the dung and trash category. To be clear.

I saw, opened, and read an email from a friend of mine, a brother in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He sent me a link, which has been opened, copied, and pasted below my comments here. Along with this textual content from him;

Good morning Ken,

Some good news for you to read and be encouraged by the actions of SF voters.

This was my reply;

Good morning, ___________,

Thank you. It’s one good move in that cesspool. San Francisco has been on a big decline for years. Not just because of this totally lost minion of the devil prosecutor they finally recalled. And that’s what he is, let’s not mince words or be afraid to call evil, evil, and people consumed in darkness and ministers of Satan what they truly are.

Can they be saved? Certainly, as long as the Lord blesses them with breath in this realm. Is it likely most like him will be saved? Let’s be real. No. They won’t. There’s only a remnant, always been only a remnant, always will be only a remnant. 

San Francisco lost its shine as a tourist location years ago. Due to their refusal to act like critically thinking, rational, with some sense people. They allowed unbridled homelessness to take over their streets. People never see it on the news but there are entire streets, entire sections of once pristine among the highest property costs in America, in the world now with endless rows of homeless that have taken up residence. Taking over entire sidewalks and areas. It’s pervasive.

As is the unbridled, anything goes drug use. Drug use approval. 

You can have homosexual acts openly in San Francisco while smoking or injecting heroin and nothing will happen to you, but if you were to begin to read from the Bible on a sidewalk, in a park, you’d likely be arrested for disturbing the peace.

It’s a cesspool. It’s receiving judgment from God as it deserves.

It isn’t about American politics, elections, liberal vs. conservative. It’s about the spiritual war. That has been going on relentlessly since the Garden of Eden and has only escalated and grown eviler and eviler.

Sad folks somehow can’t utter or write the word “evil” or “sin” or speak of clear truthful matters these days, but they have no problem appeasing and acquiescing to the world in the use of acronyms, taking the lazy path that darkness leads them by, or thinking people are “good” and that if only this person gets into office it’ll all get better. 

Foolish men and women.

Folks might not like what I write, most do not, because it’s too blunt and straightforward for their soft, weakened by modern philosophies and psychologically indoctrinated minds, their so educated selves — but I’m never cynical. Not a cynic. A cynic would be of the mind there is no hope, there is no reason to live, it’s all crap and it’s all a waste. 

Tragically, almost all the people in America, in Western nations have been so inundated and bombarded with pagan teachings, rebranded as New Age doctrines they have had their minds blurred. And I address this to those professing to be Christians. They have adopted more of the world in their thinking than having adopted and understood, thus live, the Word of God.

This softness this passivity that is categorized as being a “loving Christian not judging anything or anyone” that is grossly misunderstood from sound, clear Biblical teachings within churches and individual Christians have been what is most responsible for how we now are as a nation. How the overall world now is. 

I am one of the most positive people you’d meet. That isn’t seen by many people due to what they have permitted to reside within their hearts and minds as their individual determining factors for a person being “negative” or “positive” or “optimistic” or “cynical” solely based on worldly doctrines rather than on Biblical ones. And that is the case. 

A person that believes every word within the Word of God, and REALLY BELIEVES every word — which tells us clearly, plainly of the times in the end, and we’re in those times. How blind, ignorant, and lost can people be when they see and hear what is transpiring and think this nation, this world is going to go on for another 100, another 1,000 years!? 

Look how quickly, how pervasively the damnable abomination of sexual deviancy, gross sexual immorality has been adopted, accepted, honored, praised, and put on a pedestal in America and Western nations.

Only about 16, 17 years ago in poll after poll, survey upon survey a little over 6 out of 10 folks were opposed to homosexual “marriage.” And the legalization of drugs.

Now, only a few breaths and blinks of the eye in the historical timeline in poll after poll and survey upon survey those numbers are IDENTICAL — only now a little over 6 out of 10 folks APPROVE of homosexual “marriage” and the legalization of drugs.

This is a liberal versus conservative political American matter? 

Hardly. 

And how can a nation that also claims in the best-conducted surveys and polling claim to have about 6 out of 10 individuals calling themselves “Christians” in such a place? 

Let’s be clear. Let’s be honest and not afraid to call things as they are.

As true disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ rather than Americans living in 2022 indoctrinated mostly by all the dung Satan and evil — not liberal politics, not socialism, not progressive thinking are responsible for — what EVIL and the Evil One are responsible for and all his legions of ministers appearing as he does — an angel of light. Sold to people as progress. Building a better, more loving, more caring, better nation and world.

God’s judgments are already evident. People ask and demand signs but when they are clearly given few want to know them, see them, acknowledge them and dismiss them in worldly terms and explanations. Foolish, foolish sinful, and lost people. This first to the Chruch where judgment needs to begin, and then to all those walking dead in their darkness refusing any light or truth.

In Christ, for any other way… only binds a person in utter darkness, serving paganism, serving Satan, listening to and obeying the words of the world leading to their eternal damnation. A word no longer used, like evil, or sin, but that does not mean just because people appease and please the world more than abiding in the ways and Word of God those things have become extinct like the Dodo bird,

Ken

You may be  thinking right now, “boy, I’m glad I don’t have Ken’s email address!”

Okay, I’m going to copy and paste the article this friend and brother sent to me this morning, and then go plant some dogwood trees. I’ll be back, later, Lord willing.

And here’s one last question before I take my leave here for a while. Why all the “uber” use? All the nonsensical misused trendy language by so-called journalists and writers? Enough of the “uber” and so many other made-up or misused, overly used words, like “authentic” and the myriad other misused words and numbing, distracting from the reality of certain acts and people acronyms used adding to the heaps of dung?

Ahh, because they serve Satan and evil and ARE darkness, not only IN darkness!

Refusing the Truth, the Way, and Life and not allowing any of the Light in!

What is wrong with “San Francisco ousts Soros backed DA in recall vote?”

But then, what so-called journalism or news actually ever acknowledges God? The Bible? Thus how can any of it be truly reported accurately? Think about that for a bit if you haven’t before and just take the so-called news for what it is. It’s all only giving anyone at most 10%? 20% of any story at any given time and almost 100% from a worldly, thus in darkness, removing God, removing Christ, removing the Word of God perspective. So where is the truth and the meat? One reason we are where we are? The people and this is directed now at professed Christians, are satisfied and fed by watered-down tainted milk rather than spiritual bodybuilding meat!

As the person in question was far more evil, a far greater minister of Satan than being “uber.” Let’s be clear, shall we? Finally use the speech, the language required in these last of the last day? Calling evil as it is, calling sin as it is, using the Word of God as our foundation.

And if unclear? Wavering? So indoctrinated by the pagan, evil so-called “better” New Age speech, beliefs, and doctrines more than what is in the Word of God, my friends? Read the Old Testament. Read the New Testament. Of an UNCHANGEABLE TRIUNE GOD.

Pull the earbuds out with all the “all you need is love, love, love” Beatles hippie dung and become centered, founded, grounded in the Word of God.

Not afraid, not bowing to the world’s word usage and beliefs.

I’m going to ask one favor here. As you read what is written below in the article by Mr. Tyler Durden finally, read between the lines and do not be consumed in all the political rhetoric and words.

Come to understand THIS IS ROOTED IN THE SPIRITUAL WAR TAKING PLACE IN EVERY PERSON more so than according to any political ideology, politician, elected or appointed official or election. And until and unless an individual views EVERYTHING through that window that person is lost and misled. Just as the Evil One hopes and enjoys.

Okay, time to get another cup of that good brew and head outside for some tree planting.

Don’t worry. I’ll be back. Lord willing.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

John 3:36 — English Standard Version

San Francisco Ousts Soros-Backed Uber-Progressive DA In Recall Vote

Wednesday, June 08, 2022

By TYLER DURDEN

Reprinted from Zero Hedge

In 2019, Chesa Boudin openly campaigned on a hard-left, soft-on-crime platform – and got elected as San Francisco’s chief prosecutor. On Tuesday, San Francisco voters gave him the boot, having discovered, as Andrea Widburg notes, that the reality of hard-left governance is much less appealing than the theory and promises.

As The Epoch Times’ Brad Jones details below, unlike California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent recall election, Boudin didn’t face any opponents. On June 7, San Francisco voters were simply asked to answer yes or no to the question, “Shall Chesa Boudin be recalled (removed) from the Office of District Attorney?”

With more than 61.3 percent of the voters selecting “yes,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed must now appoint an interim district attorney until Nov. 8, when a permanent replacement will be elected. The no votes totaled 40,921 (38.7 percent).

Boudin, a former public defender backed by leftwing billionaire George Soros, came under fire for failed progressive criminal-justice reform policies that have led to a sharp increase in drug overdose deaths, homelessness, and thefts, including smash-and-grab robberies, car burglaries, shoplifting, and other property crimes.

Homicide rates and gun crimes have increased since Boudin became took office. He has strived to end cash bail, reduce incarceration rates, and scrutinize police misconduct.

Boudin fired seven prosecutors his second day on the job. In mid-December, The Epoch Times reported that more than 50 prosecutors, support, and victim services staff had either been fired or had quit their jobs over Boudin’s progressive agenda.

A former prosecutor who produced a list of those who were fired or quit left their jobs said at the time, “the office is imploding,” and requested anonymity for fear of reprisal.

Superior Court Judge Bruce Chan chastised Boudin at a Sept. 24, 2021, court proceeding. Chan cited the “constant turnover” and expressed his “disapproval of the manner in which the Office of the District Attorney is being managed,” according to court transcripts.

The Recall Effort

Several prominent Democrats have opposed Boudin, including Nima Rahimi, an attorney and executive board member of the California Democratic Party.

The San Francisco Board of Elections certified a petition on Nov. 9 to recall Boudin after a group called San Franciscans for Public Safety, led by Mary Jung, a former San Francisco Democratic Party chairwoman, and Andrea Shorter. The two launched the petition on April 28, 2021, and gathered about 83,000 signatures, well surpassing the 51,325 needed to force a recall election.

The group alleges in its official recall petition that Boudin failed to keep his promises to deliver criminal justice reform and police accountability.

“Boudin is not keeping San Francisco safe. He refuses to adequately prosecute criminals and fails to take the drug dealing crisis seriously. He doesn’t hold serial offenders accountable, getting them released from custody, and his response to victims is that ‘hopefully’ home burglaries will go down,” according to the petition.

Boudin dismissed the recall effort as a right-wing campaign based on “false and disproven Republican talking points attempting to undo progress and take us backwards,” in his May, 2021, statement of defense.

He argued that “recalls are not political tools for people who lose elections” and that voters “thoughtfully and carefully elected” him because they support his work “to reform an unjust system that too often criminalized poverty, addiction, and mental illness; failed to hold violent police accountable; and targeted people of color.”

Boudin was elected in 2019 with 50.8 percent of the vote, defeating Suzy Loftus who received 49.2 percent.

He said the “the old approaches” didn’t make the city safer but ignored the root causes of crime and “perpetuated mass incarceration,” and claimed that in his first year he fought to expand support for crime victims, hold police accountable when they commit unnecessary violence, create an independent “innocence commission,” and establish an economic crimes unit to protect workers’ rights.

Boudin argued that “exploiting recalls for political purposes is an abuse of the process [that] disrespects the will of the voters, and costs taxpayers millions of dollars.”

Richie Greenberg, a Republican and former mayoral candidate, launched an earlier but unsuccessful recall petition against Boudin in January last year. The campaign collected 49,600 signatures, 1,725 shy of the number needed to make the ballot.

Progressive Policies

Declaring that he didn’t want to prosecute minor offenses, Boudin has indicated he wanted to shift the focus to more serious offenses and take on corporations. He has also suggested hiring public defenders as prosecutors.

He has refused to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and has threatened to prosecute ICE officers whom he accused of breaking “sanctuary city laws.”

Fentanyl Deaths

In San Francisco, fentanyl has claimed the lives of 131 people so far this year, according to data from the city’s Chief Medical Examiner’s office, and nearly 1,100 have died from accidental fentanyl overdoses alone since January 2020 to April 2022 compared to 1,544 total overdose deaths. In 2021, fentanyl deaths in San Francisco surpassed COVID-19 fatalities.

The overdose rate is one of the worst in the state despite the city spending more than $13 million to expand overdose prevention programs last year.

The drug epidemic is so rampant that Mayor Breed and others civic leaders have tried to skirt federal laws to create supervised facilities, otherwise known as shooting galleries, where intravenous drug addicts can shoot up under the watchful eyes of medical professionals. The city approved the purchase of a building to open such a facility but has not actually done so.

Boudin and Breed have both been blamed for allowing the city’s infamous needle-strewn “Tenderloin” district to infect surrounding neighborhoods with open drug use and dealing.

Overdose death rates have surged since fentanyl began appeared on the scene several years ago. Because of its potency and low cost, drug dealers have been mixing fentanyl with heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine.

The drug, known as “China Girl, China Town and China White” among other street names, is most often smuggled into the United States from China through Mexico and can be deadly in doses as low as two milligrams, according to the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that can be up to 50 times more potent than heroin, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A year-long national study ending in Jan. 31, 2021, showed that overdose deaths from opioids increased 38.1 percent, and deaths from synthetic opioids jumped 55.6 percent.

Socialist Ties

Boudin once worked as a translator for Venezuelan socialist dictator Hugo Chávez and co-wrote the book “Understanding the Venezuelan Revolution: Hugo Chávez Talks to Marta Harnecker,” published in 2005. Boudin is credited on the book cover.

In 2011, he attained a law degree from Yale Law School and began working for the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office the following year. Unlike other Soros-backed candidates, Boudin was a public defender and had never served as a prosecutor before he was elected as San Francisco’s district attorney—a position Los Angeles DA George Gascón held from 2011 to 2019.

Boudin attended Oxford’s St. Antony’s College in England on a Rhode’s Scholarship and earned two master’s degrees, one in public policy in Latin America and the other in forced migration.

Radical Parents

Boudin was a 14-month-old infant when his parents were arrested in 1981 and imprisoned for their involvement in a botched attempt to rob an armored delivery truck in Nanuet, NY, about 35 miles north of New York City. They were getaway drivers for and members of the radical Weather Underground which orchestrated the failed heist in which two police officers and a Brink’s security guard were killed.

His mother, Kathy Boudin, spent more than two decades in prison before she was released on parole in 2003. His father, David Gilbert, was sentenced 75 years to life in prison but was released on parole in October after Boudin successfully lobbied disgraced New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to commute his sentence before he left office. Cuomo did so on his final day as governor in August. Gilbert, now 76, served more than 40 years in prison.

Boudin was adopted and raised by Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn who were also members of Weather Underground, a radical Marxist group that sought to lead a violent communist revolution in America and bombed government buildings across the country.

During the 1970s, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) displayed wanted posters with photos of Ayers and other Weather Underground members in every U.S. post office. The FBI listed Dohrn, whom Ayers married in 1982, as one of its 10 most-wanted fugitives. Ayers was a fugitive for years but resurfaced after charges against him were dropped. He taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago for more than 20 years and retired in 2010. He has authored several books on education.

Marxist Roots

Boudin hails from a long line of Marxists.

Louis B. Boudin (1874-1952), Chesa’s great-grand-uncle was a Jewish-American writer, politician, and lawyer. Born Louis Boudianoff (Leib Budiansky) in Ukraine—then under the rule of Imperialist Russia—he was a Marxist theoretician best known for writing a two-volume history of the Supreme Court’s influence on American government published in 1932.

The Boudin family immigrated to America in 1891 and settled in New York City. Louis studied law and was admitted to the New York State Bar Association in 1898. He was a member of the Socialist Labor Party of America and the Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance in the late 1800s. He left the Socialist Labor Party in 1899 and joined a dissident faction to help form the Socialist Party of America in 1901.

His grandfather, Leonard Boudin (1912-1989), was a known civil rights lawyer, who represented Cuba’s communist dictator Fidel Castro and Paul Robeson, an American entertainer who was denied a passport over his refusal to disavow membership in the Communist Party.

However, as AmericanThinker’s Andrea Widburg notes, sadly, it’s doubtful any San Franciscans, having literally been mugged by leftist reality, will change their political views. Rather than seeing the problem as leftism, they’ll almost certainly chalk it up solely to Chesa’s mismanagement – and place someone very similar in an office that, before Chesa came along, was held by both Kamala Harris and L.A.’s George Gascon.
