NISSAN AND AMERICA

 

In March NISSAN North America HR told me to my face they did not want me communicating to Carlos Tavares about “issues”.  They made it “clear” that they were a team and if I spoke I’d be unemployable in Tennessee. America and the World, That’s how they “oppress” people in Southern Good Ole Boy societies. Fear!!!  I spoke anyway. I’ve been all over the world and have seen too many oppressed people.  The difference is that the “American Oppressed” dress better, eat more and in the upper middle class communities are most likely medicated.  I’ve seen “open minded” people that have moved to Tennessee become Products of Their Enviroment, basically I’ve seen good well meaning  people become verbal racists.   That scares me. America is much better than this.  We’re supposed to be “welcoming”.  

 

Legally I knew what they were doing was wrong!!!  They did too.  That’s why Fed Ex never sent me a non “good ole boy” cease and desist.

 

I want to let America know that the “big ticket” taxpayer item I was truly concerned about.  That Item Mr. Tavares took care of and those hard earned taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely. 

 

Inspiration came from many sources during this battle.
 
One was a bit of creative, and a technique I learned years ago.

 

In June I selected “3” imaginary “friends” to keep me strong.  Joan of Arc, Amelia Earhart and Rosa Parks.

 

Joan kept me going the 1st 2 months and in August she said Au Voir.

 

Amelia is still around and she keeps telling me to “land”, That’s why you see my “final approaches”.

 

Rosa Parks tells be to “sit” and be strong.

 

The Good Ole Boys wanted me to pardon the pun “Crash and Burn” but Rosa looks like the Inspirational source that will make it to the end.  Last month she introduced me to a new “friend” Gloria who keeps singing “I WILL SURVIVE”.

 

 

The “technique” of imaginary friends is one that’s been used by many people in the past.  Hillary Clinton admitted to conversations with Eleanor Rosevelt and the conservatives “good ole boy”” followers called her a “practicing witch” (read below).  FYI....I learned this technique from a conservative republican.  

My point is that the Republican party has been held hostage by this “good ole boy” mindset for too long.  America cannot afford (in many ways) to let them take back our country.    

 

Since the beginning I Sharyn Bovat have taken responsibility for all my actions.  I learned that in the environment I was raised. 

 

Now I want those political leaders that are responsible for poor education, cultural and gender oppression, political “dirty tricks”, slandering a former president who got us out of debt,   going to war for questionable reasons, saying that “national healthcare” would bankrupt our country yet bankrupt us anyway with giving their friends “outrages contracts” and most importantly those that took us to war a 2nd time unnecessarily.

??? to Good Ole Boys...who was responsible for 9-11...The "tall guy" wasn't in Iraq. 

My personal "thought" a lot of "good ole boy" companies profited and we lost some brave troops.  America has lost a lot of  "lustre" in the global community.   Worse the previous president gave the new leader a hole to dig out of that will be difficult.  The "puppetmaster" that helped put him there is working on a "Contract for America #2 and another Good Ole Boy wants to be president in 2012.   Already,, NOW some of the Bush people are blaming Obama for Iraq using Afghanistan and Conservative “Good Ole Boy” Leadership is spinning a new “web” and the red state poorly masses are “eating it up”. 

If the Republican party wants to go back to their fiscal conservative "roots".  they need to focus on a long term national security plan.  One that won't send us to the middle east for a 3rd war.  Remember Gearge Bush Senior said "we went to Kuwait so our Energy Source would NOT be held hostage". 
Getting America Green is not a concern of many in this country but Safety is. 

If Congress cannot "agree" on a good healthcare plan.  Try this for American economic success, Give us infrastructure that will not make us "dependant" in volitale regions.  Infrastructure that will create jobs, and will also protect the planet.   America...  That's a Win~Win~Win.

Reagan protected America and made us Proud. 

Clinton got the world to respect us, and got America out of Debt. 

My “thought” the midterm elections are going to be ugly. My fear, they’ll blame Obama for being a “big” spender and start slashing……… .

 

It’s a BIG circle, STOP THE CYCLE!!!!

 

Have A Great Day!!!!     Sharyn

that's OK.  I did this I take responsibility. 

 

That said....

 

I do NOT want any more drive bys of my home.

 

I do NOT want to be followed when my daughter is in the car.

 

Word is getting out about the "Girl in the Black Honda".  Today I had to show

People have warned me that going against a Good Ole Boy Alliance could be

dangerous.   I get it.   Actually I visioned this a month ago.    

 

 

Do not give out my address and promote this behavior.

 

FYI.....If those with Rutherford plates continue I will call the REAL police.

 

Sirs, you don't want that.

Title:  BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON TURN TO KNOWN MEDIUMS AND NEW AGE SPIRITUALISTS FOR ADVICE -- FURTHER EVIDENCE THE CLINTONS ARE PRACTICING WITCHES

Subtitle:  Following the November, 1994, midterm elections, in which the Democrats were thoroughly defeated by the Republicans, even losing control of both houses of Congress, Bill and Hillary turned to a group of New Age channelers and spiritualists for advice.  This shocking development further proves our contention that Bill and Hillary are practicing witches, for this kind of action is precisely what witches would do.

The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!

Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones!

Stand by for insights so startling you will never look at the news the same way again.

YOU ARE NOW ON

THE CUTTING EDGE

NEWS BRIEF:  "At A Difficult Time, First Lady Reaches Out, Looks Within", by Bob Woodward, Washington Post Staff Writer, The Washington Post, Sunday, June 23, 1996, p. A1, 20.

"President Clinton and his wife, Hillary, invited a group of popular self-help writers to Camp David to help them dissect what had happened in the first two years of the presidency and to search for a way back after the Democrat's devastating loss to the Republicans in the 1994 congressional elections.  They met the weekend beginning Friday, Dec. 30, 1994."

"Three of the attendees were well-known:  Anthony Robbins, author of 'Awaken The Giant Within'; Marianne Williamson, author of 'A Return To Love'; and Stephen R. Covey, author of 'The Seven Habits of Highly Successful Effective People' .  Their names later leaked out publicly and all three declined to discuss the substance of the meeting.  The identities of the two others did not leak, and they were the ones who played a significant role over the weekend and the year that followed."

"The first was Jean Houston, co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research, which studies psychic experience and altered and expanded consciousness.  Houston, then 55, the author of 14 books, was one of the most high-energy seminar leaders in the country.  She was a believer in spirits, mythic and other connections to history and to other worlds.  Houston believed that her personal archetypal predecessor was Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom.  She conducted extensive dialogues with Athena ... Houston wore an ancient Hellenistic coin of Athena set in a medallion around her neck all the time."  [Note the word, dialogues , in this sentence.  Carrying on an imaginary conversation with someone using vivid mental techniques still does not result in "dialogues"; only an actual seance would produce dialogue. The only way in which Jean Houston could have a dialogue with Athena is through a seance; however, because Houston and other New Agers know that the general public is not yet ready for seances, they disguise their activity as imagination.]

If you have not yet read our original article on this subject, NEWS1018 , "Hillary To Jean Houston -- Come On Over And Bring Eleanor With You", we encourage you to do so now.  We discuss Jean Houston and her New Age ministry thoroughly and its impact upon Hillary.  Once you read this article, you will be shocked that anyone, much less the First Lady, would seek out spiritual, or emotional, advice from such a occultic Medium as Jean Houston.

"The second was Mary Catherine Bateson, Houston's colleague, an anthropology professor at George Mason University in nearby Virginia, and the daughter of celebrated anthropologist, Margaret Mead.  Bateson, a respected academic, was the author of 'Composing A Life', the story of the struggles and frustrations of five women on nontraditional life paths.  Hillary said 'Composing A Life' was one of her favorite books."

Whenever any person is going through a deep struggle in life that involves both the personal spiritual and the occupational sides of their lives, they are likely to call in spiritual advice.  However, the kind of spiritual advice that is sought reveals much truth about who they truly are.  If a person is a Roman Catholic, he or she will ask a priest for spiritual advice; if a person is a Baptist, they will ask a Baptist pastor for advice; if a person is a witch, he or she will ask a "believer in spirits, mythic and other connections to history and to other worlds" for advice. Remember, this latter description is taken directly from Woodward's article here describing Jean Houston.  When a witch needs advice he or she will turn to another witch for that spiritual advice, just as Bill and Hillary did in this instance.

The very fact that Bill and Hillary turned to these type of people at a most trying time in their lives further proves our point that Bill and Hillary are practicing witches.  Witches regularly practice this type of spiritual activity, all of which God severely and consistently condemns. 

Let us continue with our feature story, as Jean Houston and Mary Catherine Bateson get together several times over the next year, to conduct seances with Eleanor Roosevelt.  You will remember the stories in the first year of the Clinton Administration, when Hillary confessed that she regularly communicated with Eleanor; stories at the time even labeled these communications as seances.  Not only did Hillary admit she talked to Eleanor, she said Eleanor talked back !  This admission clearly identifies these sessions as seances, since an imaginary, creative mind exercise where a person only imagines they can talk with an historic figure, and can only imagine what response that figure might make based upon what is known about them, never, ever involves that historic figure talking back.  These were seances.

The White House spin team tried to recast these seances as just imaginary conversations with Eleanor, but that kind of spin will only convince the gullible.  They were truly seances, as were the ones Houston and Bateson conducted with Hillary in this story. Listen:

"Hillary and Houston clicked, especially during a discussion of how to use the office for the betterment of society.  Houston said Hillary was carrying the burden of 5,000 years of history when women were subservient.  The rising of women to equal partnership with men was the biggest event in history, Houston said ... She [Hillary] was reversing thousands of years of expectation, and was there upfront, probably more than virtually any woman in human history -- apart from Joan of Arc.  Hillary was a stand-in for all women, and as such had a historic opportunity ... Though Houston did not articulate the image to Hillary, she felt that the first lady was going through a female crucifixion ." [Emphasis added]

This picture of Hillary playing the part of a female messiah being crucified on  a cross for all women's causes for all time is a picture that makes me want to throw up.  Not only is Hillary not a messiah figure generally, and not another Jesus Christ specifically, she is not a feminist dedicated to the cause of "women's equal partnership with men", either.  If she were that concerned about women's equal partnership with men, she would not have allowed Bill to force his subordinate, Monica Lewinsky, into a subservient oral sexual relationship with him in the Oval Office complex, an affair that began occurring a short time after Bill and Hillary sought spiritual advice in this story.  In fact, I hope I never hear another radical feminist articulate how men are always forcing themselves upon women, and are relegating women to lesser jobs in the marketplace.  And, I certainly never want to hear that men are sexual predators and are constantly on the prowl like a "lion seeking whom he may devour".  The president of N.O.W., Patricia Ireland, last week said that women needed new laws against unwanted sexual advances!  Can you believe that nonsense?!  We already have all the laws on the books that would prevent rape and unwanted sexual advances in the workplace.  All we lack is the will to carry these laws out.

When women had the issue they needed to advance their cause of equality with men and of ending sexual harassment in the workplace, they absolutely refused to condemn the man who had forced his subordinate to have oral sex with him in his office, i.e., Liberal President Bill Clinton.  As difficult as it would have been, Hillary and other feminist leaders like Patricia Ireland, should have roundly condemned Bill Clinton for his behavior and then supported all attempts to remove him from office.  Any chief executive of any country in America would have suffered this fate, and it is the fate that Bill Clinton should have experienced.  The very fact that feminist leaders all over America supported Clinton tells me that the deeper agenda driving them is exactly what that rogue attorney, Alan Dershowitz, admitted late in the impeachment trial.  Alan said that Liberals could not allow the Radical Republican Right, but especially the Religious Right, to have a victory over the Left.  That, folks, is one of the true reasons President Clinton survived impeachment.  Finally, Bill Bennett understood the situation clearly when he stated last week that, if a man is going to rape some woman, he had better be a Liberal Democrat who supported Abortion on Demand!  Americans learned last month that Bill Clinton, at least, is above the law.  This fact alone demonstrates that our beloved Republic and our historically unique personal freedoms are threatened like never before, and are ripe to be taken away.

TALKING WITH ELEANOR

"She [Hillary] seemed jerked around by the muddled role of the first lady, as she swung between New Age feminist and national housewife.  Her sense of high purpose and doing good had been thwarted.  She was reaching out and searching hard.  Jean  Houston and Mary Catherine Bateson had followed up their weekend at Camp David with a series of letters, proposals, and ideas on defining her role as first lady and rising above the criticism and attacks ... Eleanor Roosevelt was a particular favorite of Hillary's.  In the first month of the Clinton presidency, Hillary had said, she often turned to Eleanor Roosevelt for inspiration, holding imaginary discussions with Eleanor [Note the spin doctor's role here, undertaken after the furor created when Hillary originally admitted Eleanor talked back to her, which could only mean one thing: seances].

"... Houston thought, 'This is a serious Eleanor Roosevelt aficionado'.  Clearly, Eleanor was Hillary's archetypal, spiritual partner, much as Athena was for Houston.  On her visit to the White House in early April, 1995, Houston proposed that Hillary dig deeper for her connections to Mrs. Roosevelt.  Houston and her work were controversial because she believed in spirits and other worlds, put people into trances and used hypnosis, and because in the 1960's, she had conducted experiments with LSD.  But she tried to be careful with Hillary and the president, intentionally avoiding any of those techniques." [Of course, we should believe this statement, coming as it does from people who hold to no objective, permanent standard of right and wrong, right?]

"Houston and Bateson met with Hillary in the solarium, a sun parlor with three sides of windows perched atop the White House.  It was afternoon and they all sat around a circular table ..."  Woodward then describes this seance with Eleanor in terms which suggests just an imaginary conversation rather than a seance.  However, Dr. Cathy Burns, Christian author of such books as "Masonic and Occult Symbols", told me directly via phone that there was absolutely no doubt in her mind that these sessions were traditional occult seances.  After all, seances is what Jean Houston and Mary Catherine Bateson do.   A seance would take front and center in any attempt on their part to "help" Hillary.  If Hillary had wanted to conduct an imaginary conversation with Eleanor, she would not have called in two of the most important and famous mediums living today!  Hillary could have held this "imaginary conversation" with a psychiatrist, for crying out loud.  But, seances require the services of a medium, and Hillary turned to the two most famous living today.  Now you know the truth.

ADVICE FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE

Now, listen to the advice Hillary received from these conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt. Notice how typically occult these points of advice are, so you will understand the First Lady and President a whole lot better.

1.  "In adversity, she [Hillary] needed to find the seeds of growth and transformation.  It then would become possible to inherit from these mythical or historic figures, and to achieve self-healing.  Bateson, who was watching more than participating in the session, considered the activity a kind of meditation, reflection, or even prayer."  This last sentence is also strong proof that Hillary was, indeed, involved in a spiritual seance, not just an imaginary conversation.

2.  "Hillary's sessions with Houston reflected a serious inner turmoil that she had not resolved.".

3.  "Voices were on Hillary's mind.  Whether the voices of Eleanor Roosevelt or Gandhi in the sessions with Houston and Bateson, or voices from her immediate family or her own past, the first lady seemed straining to hear them."  Once again, seances produce audible voices, while no other form of imaginary conversation does.  This is another  proof that Hillary was involved in a seance, just as she originally described in the first month of Clinton's Presidency.

One of the voices beyond the grave to whom Hillary listened during these seances was Mahatma Ghandi.  After Houston and Bateson had conjured Gandhi up, Hillary was told that her life and his contained many parallels, including his persecutions.  Gandhi could understand how Hillary felt by the many instances where she was so "misunderstood", because he had been misunderstood too.  All Gandhi wanted to do was to "make peace", just as did Hillary.

CONCLUSION

Once again, we are handed incontrovertible proof that Bill and Hillary are practicing witches.  Every major thing they do and say seems to be consistent with what we would expect witches to be doing, saying, and believing. If you have not read our "Clinton's Fatal Leadership" series of articles, we encourage you to do so now.  We present strong proofs that Bill and Hillary are acting in accordance with known and established witchcraft principles.

The fact that we have Illuminist witches in control of the White House at the very time all the other End Time prophecies are coming to pass is strong proof that we are at the End of the Age.  Revelation 17:11-17 states that the leaders of the final 10 Super Nations will do everything in their power to accumulate all the power in the world for the express purpose of delivering it to Antichrist.  Certainly, they would never do that unless they were of the same spiritual nature of Antichrist whom we know will be a Black Magick adept in the occult -- a witch in other words.  Bill Clinton is the leader of NAFTA, Nation #1 in the New World Order Plan to reorganize the nations of the world into only 10; thus, we should expect him to be a practicing witch!  Our articles in this series just point out all the reasons Bill and Hillary have given us that show us they are witches.

Truly, with practicing witches in the White House, we know we are in the End of the Age.

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.

Finally, we would love to hear from you.

You can contact us by mail or email.

God bless you.

Obama's Bush Blame Game

By Charles Krauthammer

WASHINGTON -- Old Soviet joke:

Moscow, 1953. Stalin calls in Khrushchev.

"Niki, I'm dying. Don't have much to leave you. Just three envelopes. Open them, one at a time, when you get into big trouble."

A few years later, first crisis. Khrushchev opens envelope 1: "Blame everything on me. Uncle Joe."

A few years later, a really big crisis. Opens envelope 2: "Blame everything on me. Again. Good luck, Uncle Joe."

Third crisis. Opens envelope 3: "Prepare three envelopes."

In the Barack Obama version, there are 50 or so such blame-Bush free passes before the gig is up. By my calculation, Obama has already burned through a good 49. Is there anything he hasn't blamed George W. Bush for? The economy, global warming, the credit crisis, Middle East stalemate, the deficit, anti-Americanism abroad -- everything but swine flu.

It's as if Obama's presidency hasn't really started. He's still taking inventory of the Bush years. Just this Monday, he referred to "long years of drift" in Afghanistan in order to, I suppose, explain away his own, well, yearlong drift on Afghanistan.

This compulsion to attack his predecessor is as stale as it is unseemly. Obama was elected a year ago. He became commander in chief two months later. He then solemnly announced his own "comprehensive new strategy" for Afghanistan seven months ago. And it was not an off-the-cuff decision. "My administration has heard from our military commanders, as well as our diplomats," the president assured us. "We've consulted with the Afghan and Pakistani governments, with our partners and our NATO allies, and with other donors and international organizations and "with members of Congress. "

Obama is obviously unhappy with the path he himself chose in March. Fine. He has every right -- indeed duty -- to reconsider. But what Obama is reacting to is the failure of his own strategy.

There is nothing new here. The history of both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars is a considered readjustment of policies that have failed. In each war, quick initial low-casualty campaigns toppled enemy governments. In the subsequent occupation stage, two policy choices presented themselves: the light or heavy "footprint."

In both Iraq and Afghanistan, we initially chose the light footprint. For obvious reasons: less risk and fewer losses for our troops, while reducing the intrusiveness of the occupation and thus the chances of creating an anti-foreigner backlash that would fan an insurgency.

This was the considered judgment of our commanders at the time, most especially Centcom commander (2003-2007) Gen. John Abizaid. And Abizaid was no stranger to the territory. He speaks Arabic and is a scholar of the region. The overriding idea was that the light footprint would minimize local opposition.

It was a perfectly reasonable assumption, but it proved wrong. The strategy failed. Not just because the enemy proved highly resilient but because the allegiance of the population turned out to hinge far less on resentment of foreign intrusiveness (in fact the locals came to hate the insurgents -- al-Qaeda in Iraq, the Taliban in Afghanistan -- far more than us) than on physical insecurity, which made them side with the insurgents out of sheer fear.

What they needed, argued Gen. David Petraeus against much Pentagon brass opposition, was population protection, i.e., a heavy footprint.

In Iraq, the heavy footprint -- also known as the surge -- dramatically reversed the fortunes of war. In Afghanistan, where it took longer for the Taliban to regroup, the failure of the light footprint did not become evident until more recently when an uneasy stalemate began to deteriorate into steady Taliban advances.

That's where we are now in Afghanistan. The logic of a true counterinsurgency strategy there is that whatever resentment a troop surge might occasion pales in comparison with the continued demoralization of any potential anti-Taliban elements unless they receive serious and immediate protection from U.S.-NATO forces.

In other words, Obama is facing the same decision on Afghanistan that Bush faced in late 2006 in deciding to surge in Iraq.

In both places, the deterioration of the military situation was not the result of "drift," but of considered policies that seemed reasonable, cautious and culturally sensitive at the time, but ultimately turned out to be wrong.

Which is evidently what Obama now thinks of the policy choice he made on March 27.

He is to be commended for reconsidering. But it is time he acted like a president and decided. Afghanistan is his. He's used up his envelopes.
