We're 16 weeks into continued violent protests and rioting in Paris. The media is almost completely silent, wrapped up in domestic issues. Does it really matter if some French citizens are on the streets in the thousands? Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose?

The yellow vest protestors claim the unfair taxation, high cost-of-living and income disparity policies of President Macron have dealt further injustice to the working classes. Macron is called "président des très riches" (president of the very rich.) Over 2000 people have been injured thus far, half of them police; 10 people have been killed and 14 people have been blinded by police flashbang weapons.

In an era of global wealth, where corporations are raking in record profits and individuals are accumulating vast fortunes, we see the conditions of the average family stagnant. Wealth inequality has reached historical levels, never before seen in the history of the world. 

Is it "socialism" to demand the wealthy turn on the economic faucets in the direction of the working and middle class? Or is it "capitalism" if the global elites hoard wealth and monopolize resources? We've had an unprecedented technological and scientific revolution in the last 100 years, so why all the civil unrest and global protests? 

The increase in the secularization of western nations has paralleled the increase in wealth inequality over the last century. Secularization and materialism say there is no god and God is not needed. Religion has become a dirty word, even among religionists who are increasingly triggered by religious language. 

The end game of materialism is totalitarian governments brutally suppressing peaceful protests, which in turn, results in a more violent and volatile citizenry. The militarizing of police forces all over the world is an alarming trend; the French government responded brutally to the 300,000 protestors with water canons and tear gas, instead of negotiation and public discourse. 

The real message of Joshua ben Joseph isn't social, political or economic reform, but those who follow his message are destined to become the agents of social, political and economic reform. The transforming power of devotion to the Father and service to our global family is destined to overthrow an empire of materialism and conqueror the wealth inequalities we seen in the world today. The truth is the meek really will inherit the Earth. ❤️

Monthly Slide Presentations of Quotations

February 1st

That which the enlightened and reflective human imagination of spiritual teaching and leading wholeheartedly and unselfishly wants to do and be, becomes measurably creative in accordance with the degree of mortal dedication to the divine doing of the Father's will. When man goes in partnership with God, great things may, and do, happen.   132:7.9

February 2nd

Always respect the personality of man. Never should a righteous cause be promoted by force; spiritual victories can be won only by spiritual power.

Overpowering arguments and mental superiority are not to be employed to coerce men and women into the kingdom.   159:3.2

February 5th

Make not the mistake of only condemning the wrongs in the lives of your pupils; remember also to accord generous recognition for the most praiseworthy things in their lives.

February 6th

The world is filled with hungry souls who famish in the very presence of the bread of life; men die searching for the very God who lives within them.

February 7th

Faith is to religion what sails are to a ship; it is an addition of power, not an added burden of life. There is but one struggle for those who enter the kingdom, and that is to fight the good fight of faith. The believer has only one battle, and that is against doubt -- unbelief.159:3.8

February 27th

February 28th

Hope Sometimes the planting of a seed necessitates its death, the death of your fondest hopes, before it can be reborn to bear the fruits of new life and new opportunity. 48:6.25 

“The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and for evermore.” Psalms 121:7-8

Trust in the Almighty God. Let's keep in mind that there is a moment in our lives when we will have to remember that there are things that escape our desires.

It is at those moments that we must trust in the Lord a lot more fervently, remembering that He loves us and His plans for us will always be for the best. Strengthen your Faith today through prayer and increase your trust in the Lord.

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:15-16

The world is not against you. Keep these words in your mind, since often we think that the world has been plotting against us, when in truth it is we who have a distorted view. By assgning vital importance to the least of our problems, we begin to believe that everything revolves around us and that the world is setup to make life impossible for us. Be supportive so you can exercise your empathy.

“Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you are serving the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24

Set yourself goals. Many times, short-term goals are a great help when we feel disoriented about which way to go. This way we can face the whole picture with that goal in mind: Ask the Lord for advice through your prayers; read His word carefully, which serves as a guide for our lives; follow His example: only in Him will you be able to triumph.

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.” Psalms 73:26

Be grateful. It is very important to remember to be grateful in our prayers, only then can we remember to set aside our selfishness and avoid praying solely to ask and plead. Being grateful is the cornerstone of humility. But we must also try to be grateful in our actions, because as we recall it is useless to remember it in our prayers if we do not practice it. For they may praise our words, but they will imitate our example.

“As in water face answers to face, so the mind of man reflects the man.” Proverbs 27:19

Love, because that is the most important thing that God has taught us through His word and actions. He is the example we must follow in this life. For that we have the most complete guide in His word, that advises us to do good in every situation we traverse. It comforts us in difficult times and instructs us when we feel disoriented. But the most important thing of all is that there is nothing without love

1. Always remain alert to the Lord's call

No matter where we are or what we are doing, God puts us to the test at all times and places. This means that we have to be willing to make sacrifices, to have our senses open and alongside an available heart.

We will come across people who think they are lost or off the path of our Heavenly Father's enlightenment. To help them, giving them the support needed to recover the Faith, will be a task that will bring us closer to our divine mission as children of God.

2. Thank all those who come in solidarity

Gratitude is a fundamental basis for us to be able to grow as sons and daughters of the Holy Spirit. Solidarity manifests itself at moments in which one feels that they have to be grateful for God's blessings.

Regardless of the gesture one may offer, whether it's a hug, the ability to intervene in a problematic situation, being able to have a sincere conversation, full of hope and love, our Heavenly Father will guide our words and actions in order to reach a healing destination.

3. Let's continue giving an example of Faith to the children

Since our birth we have received the love and care of our loved ones. They should be able to guide us in our first steps towards the light and Glory of the Lord.

What would be more in line with the path of the Lord? To be able to instill His word in our children, without forgetting that Jesus did not miss a single opportunity to be able to inspire us with His teachings. Always remembering the respect and love that God the Father wants us to have for our children.

4. We learn from our differences when we help our neighbors

Being able to consider the needs of other people, being able to understand that in the diversity of feelings and experiences lived, lies the true value of Faith. We must always try to reach out to those who need it most.

Being able to see ourselves through the eyes of the Lord will lead us on a path of justice and absolute truth. Guided by the Glory of Jesus who nourishes the love and care that is found within our hearts.

5. To value our life we ​​must trust in the Holy Spirit

If we work from a position of Faith and think about every decision we make in our life contemplating our Heavenly Father, we will be guaranteed eternal life in communion in the temple of heaven.

There is nothing more rewarding than being in solidarity. Our true reward is found in our daily work, where we can recompose our hope and the love that surrounds us, offering acts of Faith. From the prayer where we always ask more of God and to be able to be worthy of his blessing and his Glory.

US National Security Advisor John R. Bolton © Global Look Press / Xu Jinquan

“Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad,” are words delivered to us from history. When contemplating them today John Bolton springs to mind.
All joking aside, Trump’s national security adviser is to international diplomacy what the Hunchback of Notre Dame was to Pilates. Though reports that he is regularly driven to his office in Washington on the back of a cruise missile are yet to be confirmed, his near orgasmic exaltation of US hard power and military might suggest he would relish nothing more.

In other words, in John Bolton the world has itself an unrepentant and unreconstructed neocon. A fanatical warmonger who is now, to all intents, Donald Trump’s brain.

Afraid? You should be.

The recent picture of Trump’s national security adviser holding a writing pad, upon which the words “5,000 troops to Colombia” were scrawled, is all the evidence needed of the global calamity that is US hegemony and domination. It is not so much the ability of proponents of American exceptionalism, such as Mr Bolton, to deploy thousands of troops almost anywhere they choose in the world on any pretext – like latter day proconsuls of Rome – it’s the fact they assert the right to.

Issuing diktats from Washington to sovereign countries and governments, threatening them with military aggression if they refuse to accede to those diktats, has been in keeping with the workings of this overweening superpower for decades now.

However, such action – like replacing a recalcitrant government with another while having zero respect for international law – was previously undertaken covertly but is now, in the case of Venezuela, being done openly and brazenly.

Juan Guaido, Washington’s newly appointed placeman in Caracas, is but a minor actor in the horror movie that is US power politics. He is one in a long line of such; a here today, gone tomorrow nonentity whose only qualification for the role given to him by Washington is his ability to take instructions. A fanatical hawk like John Bolton would have it no other way.

Undertaking a character study of Mr Bolton and others of his ilk throws up the dichotomy between their eagerness to hurl soldiers into battle, and personal histories which reveal extraordinary efforts to avoid going into battle themselves.

John Bolton, George W Bush, Dick Cheney, hawks and neocons all, each took steps to avoid being drafted for the war in Vietnam. Bolton was actually unabashed about ensuring that he would not be drafted, writing in his Yale University 25 year class reunion book, “I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy.”

Instead, like former President George W Bush, responsible for pushing Iraq into the abyss in 2003, Bolton joined the National Guard and stayed home. He also enrolled at Yale to study law before segueing into politics as a strident advocate of might is right, climbing the greasy neocon pole in Washington to positions of influence.

Speaking of Iraq, in Bolton the war had, and continues to have, its most resolute champion and defender, even though it has long been accepted by all apart from the most mendacious and amoral that it only succeeded in unleashing a carnival of carnage. Bolton went from stating in the lead up to the war in 2002, “I expect that the American role actually will be fairly minimal,” to in 2015 stating, “I still think the decision to overthrow Saddam was correct.”

Occupying the space between both those statements, made 13 years apart, are the millions of lives lost, upended, ruined and forever destroyed in consequence.

I am proud to say I was active in the antiwar movement in the lead up to and aftermath of the invasion of Iraq. In those circles, John Bolton was regarded as a cross between the antichrist and Pol Pot – and with some justification given what ensued and the man’s lack of remorse or contrition over the catastrophe inflicted on the country and its people, not forgetting the destabilization of the entire region.

It was therefore a moment to savour when Tony Benn, a towering figure of the left in the UK and impassioned opponent of the war in Iraq, delivered a verbal battering to John Bolton during a 2008 televised debate on the war and its aftermath. Benn spoke for millions in Iraq and around the world that night. At one point, in words that belong to the ages, he boomed: “There is no moral difference between a stealth bomber and a suicide bomber!”

Bolton, visibly discomfited at being on the receiving end of such a withering and eloquent rejection of all that he and his fellow warmongers represent, must have been wishing his car had broken down on the way to the studio, requiring him to cancel.

In more recent times, Bolton was key in Trump’s unconscionable decision to unilaterally pull out of the P5+1 Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) in May 2018, followed by the return of even more stringent sanctions on Iran than had been in place prior to the deal. He was also a prime mover of Trump’s decision to withdraw from the INF (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces) Treaty with Russia, laying the ground for a new arms race.

The man, to be frank, is a thug in a suit, who since taking up the role of Trump’s national security adviser in April 2018, has rampaged around the world like a vicious dog, intoxicated with the power to threaten, intimidate and bully at will. He is America’s Tomas de Torquemada (he of Spanish Inquisition fame). The only difference is that where Torquemada was committed to punishing apostates who dared resist the writ of the Catholic Church in the 15th century, Bolton is committed to punishing apostates who dare resist the writ of Washington in the 21st.

Someone who knows Bolton more than most is Richard Painter, a lawyer who served in the Bush administration. When Bolton’s appointment as Trump’s national security adviser was announced, Painter tweeted his dismay along with a chilling warning: “John Bolton was by far the most dangerous man we had in the entire eight years of the Bush Administration. Hiring him as the president's top national security advisor is an invitation to war, perhaps nuclear war. This must be stopped at all costs.”

I have nothing more to add.
