			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CONTINUOUS REPEATED THREAT TO MY LIFE FROM CHANDER LALL OF LALL &amp; SETHI, M-19 A SOUTH EXTENSION, DELHI battering of many ISKCON devotees, ransacking of ISKCON temples</p>
<p>Respected Sir(s),</p>
<p><strong>This criminal Chander Lall is an evil man – Please stay away from him – This is being written in the interest of the general public</strong></p>
<p>I, Sumit Khaneja, have faced harassment from a person named Chander Lall for the last more than four years. The entire ISKCON organization has been<br />
harassed by this person Chander Lall for the past few years. I was serving ISKCON Tirupati for the last one and a half years where this person had thoroughly ransacked the ISKCON Tirupati temple for one and a half years. Now, he is ransacking ISKCON Vrindavan for the past more than one month that I have been here. There are many thousands of witnesses t o this. This person Chander Lall has also been harassing me by doing witchcraft on me since the last four years.</p>
<p>THE REASON FOR THIS HARASSMENT HAS BEEN MY EX-WIFE (NOW DIVORCED), A JAPANESE NATIONAL NAMED KYOKO SHIBATA. This person Chander Lall has also been making false stories and putting my photographs on the internet with some Japanese/ Chinese/oriental looking woman claiming it to be my photograph, although it is not me. The website of this person has been named similar to my name (My name is Sumit Khaneja, this website is http://www.facebook.com/sumit.r.khaneja<br />
Named after an artificial person called SUMIT R KHANEJA, PUT IN PLACE WITH A CHINESE LOOKING WOMAN AND A CHILD, IMPERSONATING ME, GIVING A FALSE IMPRESSION THAT I AM WITH THIS WOMAN KYOKO SHIBATA SO THAT I MAY BE KILLED AND ALL MY PROPERTY BE TAKEN BY CHANDER LALL, WHO IS BOYFRIEND OF MY EX-WIFE AND ALSO A BIKER MAFIA GANG LEADER)</p>
<p>The main reason is that this person Chander Lall wants to kill me and take all my property. He has also stolen my identity documents for Harassing me, blackmailing me and trying to put pressure on me for incriminating me in false criminal cases so that I come under pressure for marrying this divorced woman Kyoko Shibata. I request help from the concerned authorities to stop harassment from this Chander M Lall. He is trying to get me married to this demonic woman Kyoko Shibata from whom I have already got a divorce so that he may thereafter kill me and take all my property. In this regard, I have already registered criminal cases against Chander Lall in several police stations in UK (London and Belfast) and also in Tirupati Police Station for loss of my identity documents.</p>
<p>The reason that I have relocated from Delhi to Vrindavan is also to stop harassment from this criminal Chander Lall. Please help to stop this demonic criminal action from this gangster Chander Lall.</p>
<p><strong>This criminal Chander Lall is an evil man – Please stay away from him – This is being written in the interest of the general public</strong></p>
<p>Thanking you,<br />
Best regards,</p>
<p>Sumit Khaneja, Advocate<br />
Vrindavan</p>
<p><strong>This criminal Chander Lall is an evil man – Please stay away from him – This is being written in the interest of the general public</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>THE HIGHEST SERVICE TO GOD, AND THE BEST CHARITY<br />
The one who shall propagate this supreme secret philosophy (or the transcendental knowledge of the Gita) amongst My devotees, shall be performing the highest devotional service to Me, and shall certainly come to Me. No other person shall do a more pleasing service to Me, and no one on the earth shall be more dear to Me. (18.68-69)<br />
Ignorance is the mother of all sins. All negative qualities such as lust, anger, and greed are nothing but a manifestation of ignorance only. The giving of the gift of knowledge is the best charity. It is equivalent to giving the whole world in charity (MB 12.209.113). The best welfare is to help others discover their real nature that is the source of everlasting happiness rather than provide material goods and comforts for temporary happiness. The Bible says: Whoever obeys the law, and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5.19). Happiness is not attained through wealth and sense gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy cause (Helen Keller).<br />
GRACE OF THE GITA<br />
Those who shall study this sacred dialogue of ours shall worship me with Knowledge-sacrifice. This is My promise. (18.70)<br />
God and His words are one and the same. The study of Gita is equivalent to worship of God. Life in modern society is all work and no spirituality. Swami Harihar says: &#8220;Daily study of only a few verses of the Gita will recharge mental batteries and add meaning to the dull routine life of modern society.&#8221; For serious students, daily study of one chapter of the Gita, or several verses from the forty selected verses given in the end of this book is highly recommended.<br />
Whoever hears this sacred dialogue with faith and without cavil becomes free from sin, and attains heaven ¾ the higher worlds of those whose actions are pure and virtuous. (18.71)<br />
A summary of the &#8220;Glory of the Gita&#8221; as elaborated in the scriptures is given below. Reading this glory of the Gita generates faith and devotion in the heart that is essential for reaping the benefits of the study of the Gita.<br />
The goal of human birth is to master the mind and senses and reach one’s destiny. A regular study of the Gita is sure to help achieve this noble goal. One who is regular in the study of the Gita becomes happy, peaceful, prosperous, and free from the bondage of Karma though engaged in the performance of worldly duties. The one who studies even few verses of the Gita every day is not tainted by sin just as water does not stain a lotus leaf. The Gita is the best abode of Lord Krishna. The spiritual potency of the Lord abides in every verse of the Gita. The Bhagavad-Gita is the storehouse of spiritual knowledge. The Lord Himself spoke this supreme science of the Absolute containing the essence of all the scriptures for the benefit of humanity. All the Upanishads are the cows; Arjuna is the calf; Krishna is the milker; the nectar of the Gita is the milk; and the persons of purified intellects are the drinkers. One need not study any other scripture if he or she seriously studies the Gita, contemplates on the meaning of the verses, and practices its teachings in one’s daily life.<br />
The affairs of the world run by the first commandment of the creator — the teachings of selfless service — so beautifully expounded in the Gita. The sacred knowledge of doing one’s duty without looking for a reward is the original teaching that alone can lead to salvation. The Gita is like a ship by which one can easily cross the ocean of transmigration, and attain liberation. It is said that wherever the Gita is chanted or read with love and devotion, Lord makes Himself present there to listen and enjoy the company of His devotees. Going to a place where Gita is regularly chanted or taught is like going to a holy place of pilgrimage. Lord Himself comes to take the devotee to His Supreme Abode when one leaves the physical body contemplating on the knowledge of the Gita. The one who regularly reads, recites to others, hears and follows the sacred knowledge contained in the Gita is sure to attain liberation from the bondage of Karma and attain Nirvana.<br />
Though engaged in the performance of worldly duties, one who is regular in the study of the Gita becomes happy, and free from Karmic bondage. Sins do not taint who is regular in the study of the Gita. All the sacred centers of pilgrimage, gods, sages, and great souls dwell in the place where the Gita is kept, and read. Help during troubles comes quickly where Gita is recited, and Lord dwells where it is read, heard, taught, and contemplated upon. By repeated reading of the Gita, one attains bliss and liberation. The one who contemplates on the teachings of the Gita at the time of death becomes free from sin and attains salvation. Lord Krishna Himself comes to take the person to His Supreme Abode.<br />
The grace of Gita cannot be described. Its teachings are simple as well as abstruse and profound. New and deeper meanings are revealed to a serious student of the Gita, and the teachings remain ever inspirational. The interest in a serious study of the Gita is not available to all but to those with good Karma only. One should be very earnest in the study of the Gita.<br />
Gita is the heart, the soul, the breath, and the voice form of the Lord. No austerity, penance, sacrifice, charity, pilgrimage, vow, fasting, and continence equals the study of Gita. It is difficult for any ordinary person like us, or even for the great sages and scholars, to understand the deep and secret meaning of the Gita. To understand Gita completely is like a fish trying to fathom the extent of the ocean, or a bird trying to measure the sky. Gita is the deep ocean of the knowledge of the Absolute; only the Lord has a complete understanding of it. Nobody, other than Lord Krishna should claim authority on the Gita.<br />
O Arjuna, did you listen to this with single-minded attention? Has your delusion born of ignorance been completely destroyed? (18.72)<br />
Arjuna said: By Your grace my delusion is destroyed, I have gained Self-knowledge, my confusion with regard to body and Spirit is dispelled and I shall obey Your command. (18.73)<br />
When one realizes Him by His grace, the knots of ignorance are loosened, all doubts and confusion are dispelled, and all Karma is exhausted (MuU 2.02.08). The true knowledge of the Supreme Being comes only by His grace</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;There are instances in history of great personalities, including sages and kings, who attained perfection by this process. Some of them attained success even by adhering to one single item of devotional service with faith and perseverance. Some of these personalities are listed below.<br />
1.	Emperor Pariksit attained the spiritual platform simply by hearing from such an authority as Sri Sukadeva Gosvami.<br />
2.	Sri Sukadeva Gosvami attained the same simply by recitation, verbatim, of the transcendental message which he received from his great father, Sri Vyasadeva.<br />
3.	Emperor Prahlada attained spiritual success by remembering the Lord constantly, in pursuance of instructions given by Sri Narada Muni, the great saint and devotee.<br />
4.	Laksmiji, the goddess of fortune, attained success simply by sitting and serving the lotus feet of the Lord.<br />
5.	King Prthu attained success simply by worshiping the Lord.<br />
6.	Akrura, the charioteer, attained success simply by chanting prayers for the Lord.<br />
7.	Hanuman (Mahavira), the famous nonhuman devotee of Lord Sri Ramacandra, attained success simply by carrying out the orders of the Lord.<br />

9.	Emperor Bali attained success by surrendering everything unto the Lord, including his personal body.<br />
These are nine standard modes of devotional service to the Lord, and a candidate </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ADULTERY V. CELIBACY (80,000 YEARS JAIL V. PERFECTION)</p>
<p>Section 497 (INDIAN PENAL CODE) [1][1]provides: Whoever has sexual intercourse with a person who is and whom he known or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery, and shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to five years or with fine, or with both.  </p>
<p>So, adultery is punishable with jail of five years.</p>
<p>If a rascal claims to have 16,000 wives like Lord Sri Krishna, then he is liable to get jail of 80,000 years (16,000 wives multiplied by five years in jail for each offence of adultery)</p>
<p>JAIL FOR 80,000 YEARS (EIGHTY THOUSAND YEARS) MEANS THAT HE WILL NEVER GET A HUMAN BODY AGAIN AFTER THIS LIFE.</p>
<p>BG 8.11(CELIBACY FOR PERFECTION)</p>
<p>yad aksaram veda-vido vadanti<br />
visanti yad yatayo vita-ragah<br />
yad icchanto brahmacaryam caranti<br />
tat te padam sangrahena pravaksye</p>
<p>TRANSLATION</p>
<p>Persons who are learned in the Vedas, who utter omkara and who are great sages in the renounced order enter into Brahman. Desiring such perfection, one practices celibacy. I shall now briefly explain to you this process by which one may attain salvation</p>
<p>Our bodies are perishable, wealth is not at all permanent and death is always nearby. Therefore we must immediately engage in acts of merit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mathura</p>
<p>•	Area : 3,780 sq. km. (Mathura District)<br />
•	Population (urban) : 20, 74, 516 (2001 census)<br />
•	Altitude above sea level : 187 metres<br />
A long line of picturesque ghats &#8211; with their steps leading to the water&#8217;s edge, arched gateways and temple spires extending along the right bank of the River Yamuna, emphasis the sacred character of the town of Mathura. The birth place of Lord Krishna, &#8220;the best known, best loved and most complex of Lord Vishnu&#8217;s manifestations&#8221; &#8211; Mathura is today an important place of pilgrimage. The city stretches along the right bank of the Yamuna and the continuous line of ghats along the river makes a splendid spectacle when viewed from the opposite bank.<br />
Today, Mathura is a city of temples and shrines abustle with the thousands of devotees who come to visit the city of Lord Krishna. A splendid temple at the Katra Keshav Dev marks the spot that is believed to be the Shri Krishna Janmasthan &#8211; the birthplace of the Lord, by his devotees. Another beautiful shrine, the Gita Mandir, located on the Mathura -Vrindavan Road has a fine image of Shri Krishna in its sanctum. The whole of the Bhagwad Gita is inscribed on the walls of this temple.<br />
The most popular shrine at Mathura is the Dwarikadhish Temple to the north of the town, dedicated to Shri Krishna. This was built in 1815 by a staunch and wealthy devotee, Seth Gokuldas Parikh, Treasurer of the State of Gwalior.<br />
There are about 25 ghats in Mathura today, of which the most important is the Vishram Ghat. Where according to legend, Shri Krishna took his rest after killing Kansa.<br />
It is at Vishram Ghat that the traditional parikrama (circumbulation of all the important religious and cultural places of the city) starts and ends. The 12 ghats to the north of Vishram Ghat include the Ganesh Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat with its Neelakantheshwar Temple, Saraswati Sangam Ghat, Chakratirtha Ghat, Krishnaganga Ghat, Somatirth or Swami Ghat, Ghantagharan Ghat, Dharapattan Ghat, Vaikuntha Ghat, Navtirtha or Varahkshetra Ghat, Asikunda ghat and Manikarnika Ghat. To the south, there are 11 ghats &#8211; the Guptatirth Ghat, Prayag Ghat marked by the Veni Madhav Temple, Shyam Ghat, Ram Ghat, Kankhal Ghat, the site of the Janmashtami and Jhula festivals, Dhruva ghat, Saptrishi Ghat, Mokshatirth Ghat, Surya Ghat, Ravan Koti Ghat and Buddha Ghat.<br />
The Vishram Ghat is lined with elegant temples and some of Mathura&#8217;s most important shrines are found here &#8211; the Mukut Temple, Radha-Damodar, Murli Manohar, Neelkantheshwar, Yamuna-Krishna, Langali Hanuman and Narasimha temples. The baithak of the great Vaishnava Saint, Shri Chaitanya, is also near by.</p>
<p>The aarti held at the Vishram Ghat each evening is not to be missed, for the little oil lamps that are floated on the river set the placid water as sparkle with a myriad flickering lights.<br />
No pilgrimage to Mathura is complete without a visit to its kunds. Tradition has it that there were 159 ancient kunds in all. Of these only four survive and can be seen. There is the elegant shiv Tal, the more famous Potara Kund associated closely with Lord Krishna besides the Balbhadra and Saraswati kunds.<br />
The town has a number of Shaivite temples as well. The chief among them being the Bhuteshwar Mahadev Temple to the west of the town, the Gokarneshwar Temple in the north, the Rangeshwar. Mahadev Temple to the south and the Pipaleshwar Mahadev Temple to the east.</p>
<p>Govardhan<br />
•	Population: 9,684 (2001 census)<br />
Govardhan is situated 26 km west of Mathura on the state highway to Deeg. A famous place of Hindu pilgrimage, Govardhan is located on a narrow sandstone hill known as Giriraj which is about 8 km in length. The young Lord Krishna is said to have held Giriraj up on the tip of a finger for 7 days and nights to shield the people of Braj from the deluge of rain sent down by Lord Indra.<br />
Govardhan is set along the edge of a large masonry tank known as the Mansi Ganga, which is believed to have been brought into existence by the operation of the divine will. Its enclosures were built by Raja Bhagwan Das of Amer in 1637 and embellished by Raja Man Singh, who built a long flight of steps leading up, from the end of the tank. Close by is the famous red sandstone temple of Haridev and the Kusum Sarovar with exquisitely carved chhatris &#8211; the cenotaphs of the members of the royal family of Bharatpur, who perished whilst fighting against the British in 1825. Towards the south is the beautiful chhatri of Raja Surajmal of Bharatpur. Fine frescoes &#8211; illuminating the life of Surajmal, vividly depict darbar and hunting scenes, royal processions and wars.<br />
Radhakund<br />
Just 5 km north of Govardhan and 26 km west of Mathura, Radhakund is a large lake, where Shri Krishna is said to have killed Arista &#8211; the bull demon. To commemorate this event, every year on the 8th day of the dark half of the month of Kartik (Oct./Nov.), a large fair is held here.<br />
Population : 9,960 (2001 census)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most popular temples include:</p>
<p>The Madan Mohan Temple located near the Kali Ghat was built by Kapur Ram Das of Multan. This is the oldest temple in Vrindavan. The temple is closely associated with the saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who is the incarnation of the Supreme Lord Krishna in the iron age of Kaliyuga and he spread the Congregational chanting of the Holy names. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare is the prescribed chant leading to the perfection of life in Kaliyuga as stated in the Kali Santarana Upanishad. The original image of Lord Madan Gopal was shifted from the shrine to Karauli in Rajasthan for safe keeping during Aurangzeb&#8217;s rule. Today, a replica of the image is worshiped at the temple.<br />
The Banke Bihari Temple, built in 1862[5] is the most popular shrine at Vrindavan. The image of Banke-Bihari was discovered in Nidhi Vana by Swami Haridas, the great Krishna devotee, belonging to the Nimbarka sampradaya.<br />
The famous Radha Vallabh Temple set up by the Radha-Vallabh sampradaya, through Sri Hith Harivansh Mahaprabhu[6], has the crown of Radharani placed next to the Shri Krishna image in the sanctum.<br />
The Jaipur Temple which was built by Sawai Madho Singh II, the Maharaja of Jaipur in 1917, is a richly embellished and opulent temple. The fine hand &#8211; carved sandstone is of unparalleled workmanship. The temple is dedicated to Shri Radha Madhava.<br />
Sri Radha Raman Mandir constructed at the request of Gopala Bhatta Goswami around 1542 is one most exquisitely crafted and revered temples of Vrindavan, especially by the Goswamis. It still houses the original saligram deity of Krishna, alongside Radharani.[7]<br />
The Shahji Temple, another popular temple at Vrindavan, was designed and built in 1876 by a wealthy jeweller, Shah Kundan Lal of Lucknow. The deities (images) at the temple are popularly known as the Chhote Radha Raman. Noted for its magnificent architecture and beautiful marble sculpture, the temple has twelve spiral columns each 15 feet high. The `Basanti Kamra&#8217; &#8211; the darbar hall is famed for its Belgian glass chandeliers and fine paintings.<br />
The Rangaji Temple, built in 1851 is dedicated to Lord Ranganatha or Rangaji depicted as Lord Vishnu in his sheshashayi pose, resting on the coils of the sacred Sesha Naga. The temple built in the Dravidian style (as a replica of Srivilliputhur) has a tall gopuram (gateway), of six storeys and a gold &#8211; plated Dhwaja stambha, 50 feet high. A water tank and a picturesque garden lie within the temple enclosure. The annual festival of Jal Vihar of the presiding deity is performed with great pomp and splendour at the tank. The temple is also famous for its `Brahmotsdav&#8217; celebration in March-April, more popularly known as the `Rath ka Mela&#8217;. The ten day long celebrations are marked by the pulling of the rath (the chariot car) by the devotees from the temple to the adjoining gardens. The prayers within the temple are performed, following in the style of Andal, one of the twelve Vaishnava Saints of South India.<br />
The Govind Deo (Govindaji) Temple was once a magnificent seven storeyed structure built in the form of a Greek cross. It is said that the Emperor Akbar donated some of the red sandstone that had been brought for the Red Fort at Agra, for the construction of this temple. Built at the astronomical cost of one crore rupees in 1590 by his general Raja Man Singh, the temple combines western, Hindu and Muslim architectural elements in its structure. It was destroyed by Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.<br />
The Sri Krishna-Balarama Temple built by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in a location known as &#8216;Raman-Reti&#8217;, is one of the most beautiful temples in Vrindavan today. The principal deities of this temple are Krishna &amp; Balaram, with Radha-Shyamasundar and Gaura-Nitai alongside. Adjoining the temple is the samadhi of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON, built in pure white marble.<br />
The Radha Damodar Mandir Located at Seva Kunj, the Mandir was established in 1542 by Srila Jiva Goswami. The deities Sri Sri Radha Damodar are here. The bhajan kutir of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is also situated at the Mandir.<br />

Shree Radha Ras Bihari Ashta Sakhi Temple In Vrindavan, the “Lila Sthan” (the place of the divine passion play) of Lord Krishna, lies the temple that is a must visit destination for devotees completing the 84 kosh Vraj Parikrama Yatra. The temple is centuries old and is the first Indian temple that is dedicated to the divine couple and their Ashta Sakhi’s &#8211; the eight “companions” of Radha who were intimately involved in her love play with the Lord Krishna. The Ashta Sakhis are mentioned in the ancient texts of Puranas and the Bhagavata Purana. The temple is called Shree Radha Ras Bihari Ashta Sakhi Mandir and it is home to the divine Rasa Lila of Lord Krishna and Radharani. It is located in close proximity to the Shri Banke Behari Mandir. Legend has it that the Shree Radha Rasa Behari Ashta Sakhi Mandir is one of the two places in Mathura, Vrindavan where the Lord Krishna actually indulges in the Rasa Lila with his beloved Radha and her sakhis. On these nights, devotees have reported hearing the sound of the anklets, beating in tune to a divine melody. </p>

<p>Project Earth: Satan Is On The Prowl<br />
By Sherry Shriner</p>
<p>http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/sherry/prowl.htm</p>
<p>&#8220;Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (I Peter 5:8)<br />
WHENEVER OR WHOEVER IS PREACHING WRONGLY AND FALSELY SAYING A MERE HUMAN BEING AS GOD IS PUTTING HIMSELF/HERSELF AT GREAT RISK BECAUSE THAT HUMAN BEING IS NOT GOD BUT THE DEVIL AND IS NOT GOING TO SHOW ANY MERCY OR LENIENCY TO THIS PREACHER BUT AFTER THE CLASS IS OVER, WILL POSSESS AND DEVOUR THE FALSE PREACHER. SO IT IS BETTER TO BE UPRIGHT IN ALL PREACHING THAN TO SHOW ANY FAVOUR TO THE DEVIL SINCE THE DEVIL WILL NOT RECIPROCATE (DEVIL IS AFTER ALL A THANKLESS MERCILESS MEAN RASCAL). DEPEND ON GOD AND DEVOTEES FOR PROTECTION BUT NOT ON THE DEVIL.<br />
Satan uses both groups to accomplish his plans in destroying the earth and keeping as many souls as he can away from Yahweh and the truth and redemption that is in Him.<br />
Once they are involved they get deeper involved into his traps of self destruction, sell their souls to him, or become victims of a satanic sacrifice themselves. Many young people are lured into satanic groups such as The Brotherhood as bait only to become victims of sacrifice on a satanic altar.<br />
The Apostle Peter warns us to be on guard against the devil. The devil is a false accuser, the slanderer of men before God. Peter calls the devil our adversary because that is what he is. In Hebrew Ha Satan means adversary. He is our opponent, our enemy.<br />
Lucifer, in Hebrew Hallel (pronounced Hallayel), is called both the devil and Satan because he fulfills both of those roles.<br />
I hate getting into semantic wars with people. If they have nothing to do or nothing else to argue about they will pick a fight over semantics. It is mostly those from the realm of the occult who have been brainwashed in one way or another into believing that Satan isn&#8217;t real or that Lucifer and Satan are not the same person.<br />
Satan is real. And he is devouring the souls of men and women all over this planet and he has been doing it for thousands of years. As a fallen angel from heaven he is also the prince of demons. He controls both realms of beings, alien and the demonic.<br />
Aliens are fallen angels. That is just another term for them. One they started referring to themselves as to hide the fact they are the fallen Watchers from heaven (Gen. 6:4) or those who rebelled with Lucifer against the Most High (Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28).<br />
Demons are the spirits of the human hybrid children that resulted from the offspring of human women and the Watchers who left heaven to cohabitate and impregnate human women. In other words, angels left heaven to come to earth to procreate with women. Thus their offspring were half human-half fallen angel. So they weren&#8217;t fully human. When these half human children died their spirits were condemned to roam the earth. (a judgment against their parents the Watchers for their rebellion in leaving heaven). The Prophet Enoch says they are called demons. And that&#8217;s where we get the terminology for them. The first 15 chapters of the Book of Enoch gives great insight into the era of the Fallen Watchers (see Enoch).<br />
As you can see, Satan&#8217;s territory is pretty vast. He controls the air/space/heavenlies with his aliens and the ground on earth with his demons. His aliens can live under the earth and on planets or moons. And they fly around in UFOs to get around just as they did before Lucifer&#8217;s fall from heaven. Demons are limited to the surface and subterranean aspects of earth.<br />
Satan uses both groups to accomplish his plans in destroying the earth and keeping as many souls as he can away from Yahweh and the truth and redemption that is in Him.<br />
Both are used to propagate false religions and to deceive mankind into worshipping them as gods and idols. For example, the demon Moroni runs and controls Mormonism and has his own temple room overlaid in gold under the Mormon Temple in Utah. Sananda, who plays Jesus in the astral realm and near death experiences is actually a tall grey alien who takes a human form to deceive Christians. Michaelangelo painted a portrait of Sananda in the 1500s and the churches adopted this picture as Jesus even though they know they don&#8217;t know what he really looks like, they attribute it to Him. How many homes in America today have the picture of Sananda in them? Many.<br />
Satan&#8217;s millions of deceptions run from the outright obvious and outrageous to the subtle and unsuspecting.<br />
His biggest trick is to get people to believe he doesn&#8217;t even exist or to believe in a lack of personal accountability for one&#8217;s own actions. From his rhetoric you hear echoing through the gullible &#8220;God is an all loving God, He would never condemn anyone&#8221; to &#8220;God is a force, not a personal being, God is in everything and is everything.&#8221; They will see exactly who and what He is at the Great White Throne Judgment. There can be no love without justice. Just as their is right and wrong, there is reward or condemnation. There is heaven and a hell. There is a God and a devil. Literal, and real beings, they are not metaphors.<br />
They work as an army, Satan&#8217;s army, behind the scenes to infiltrate every aspect of mankind and earth. They influence and control people either directly or indirectly to fulfill their plans.<br />
Aliens have bodies. Some are humanoid, meaning they look human while others are grotesque such as the greys, reptilians, mothmen, etc..I have written about why they have differences in other articles (see http://www.aliensinthenews.com/articles.htm). Demons don&#8217;t have physical bodies capable of being seen in this 3-D realm on earth and so they inhabit and possess men and women to work through them and influence them. Just the same, even in the 4-D realm demons are the most grotesque creatures you can imagine. Other than the black phantom types, none of them look the same. Many look like imps, orangatangs, ferets, ant eaters, just variations and as ugly a variation as you can imagine. The lower ranking demons resemble animals. The higher ranking ones are taller and can resemble Darth Vader, these types I refer to as the Black Phantoms. They are small and they are huge, the huge being the Darth Vader or Grim Reeper types. The taller they are, the more power and rank in Satan&#8217;s kingdom. Many of these types serve as his Generals and what they call Gatekeepers in the demonic realm as well.<br />
Demons can operate in this realm without obtaining a physical body of some type to do so, but it&#8217;s to their advantage to be able to possess humans so they can destroy them more easily. Most humans who are possessed don&#8217;t know they are. In this way the demon(s) can lead that person more easily into sin, apostasy, false beliefs, false religions, atheism, agnosticism, Satanism, Luciferianism, the New Age and much more.<br />
Targeting Humans For Possession and Control<br />
There are ways demons can take over human bodies and fully possess them giving them the ability to operate on earth in human form.<br />
Zombies &#8211; reanimated human bodies. A person that has died and then his body is brought back to life without his soul in it. The body is possessed by a demonic being that gives what appears to be life to the body.<br />
They don&#8217;t appear to be able to think or behave as normal human beings, thus the term &#8220;zombie.&#8221; This will become more dominant during the tribulation period.<br />
Vampires &#8211; there are two levels of vampirism. The first level is the introductory level where initiates begin to drink blood and show an interest in vampirism. People attracted to the Gothic underworld or lifestyle are targeted as initiates.<br />
The second level in theory is the death of the human to be brought back to life or resurrected as a vampire. In practice, the person is most likely soul-scalped and instead of dying his soul is taken elsewhere and held prisoner in the astral realm while a demonic being takes over the person&#8217;s body with the capability of being able to play the role of that person in society. This will also become more dominant during the tribulation period and even now there is an increase in this Gothic type of underground that features vampirism among the youth today.<br />
Fetal Abductions &#8211; another way is taking the soul out of a baby that perhaps isn&#8217;t even born yet and replacing it with a demonic spirit. Pregnant women who have been abducted by UFOs claim they saw the aliens take the soul out of their unborn baby and replace it with something else.<br />
Mind Fragmentation &#8211; also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder or Multiple Personality Disorder. Induced by trauma, this causes the mind to split into fragments. These fragments can be taken over by demons who can become personalities or individuals within that fragmentation.<br />
Soul Scalping &#8211; those who invite demons into them such as people involved with the occult and secret societies can find themselves permanently replaced by the demons they invited into them. A dominate form of possession, it starts out as a demonic possession and leads into the person&#8217;s soul being replaced completely by the demon(s). Where that person&#8217;s soul goes..I don&#8217;t know. Could be the astral realm or they could also outright kill the person and take over his or her body.<br />
Cloning &#8211; how many people are aware that their DNA can be taken from them unknowingly and used to clone a twin of themselves? It&#8217;s being done. A piece of hair taken from you while you are sleeping, or perhaps a blood sample from a hospital if you have had blood taken for any reason. Or even from an infant PKU test that is required before your mother can even take you home after your born (if you live in America). If you have ever been in a hospital they most likely have a sample of your DNA. And by having a sample of your DNA they can clone you. They can make an exact replica of you, a twin. Only this twin isn&#8217;t created with a human soul but is used as a body for a demon to inhabit and possess and use for itself. And you wouldn&#8217;t even know this clone exists.<br />
Automatons/Robotoids &#8211; mind controlled, chip implanted soldiers. People whose minds have been taken over by chip implants and thus they are completely controlled. Clones could also be used in this way. This will become more dominant also during the tribulation period.<br />
Secret Societies and the Occult &#8211; taking oaths of loyalty to Lucifer or the &#8220;god of light&#8221; (that is a masked reference to Lucifer the bearer of light) or any god other than the Most High gives access to demons to possess that person.<br />
False Religions and Cults &#8211; religions who follow after BAAL and Mithra, demons and even Satan directly himself such as most of what claims itself as Christianity, Protestantism, Catholicism, Satanism, Wicca, Mormonism, Islam, Pentecostals, Jehovah Witnesses, Jews, Hinduism, Buddhism, New Age, Islam, and others who follow after religious errors and deceptions and stay in them can allow access to demonic entrance such as demons of religiousness, religiosity, righteousness, lying spirits, spirits of deception, etc.. Demons often mimmick religious terms. The majority of Christians today are following after BAAL. Just as the Israel of the past often slipped into idolatry and the worship of BAAL so have the churches of today. Yahushuah says to come out of the spiritual whore and idolatry of Babylon. He warns His people specifically about Babylon in the last days. Who is Babylon? The United States. Get out of the churches! They are not worshipping Yahushuah but BAAL. Sunday Sun-God worship is NOT of the Lord.<br />
Generational Curses &#8211; Being born into families that were afflicted by demonic possession because of their sins can result in their offspring being born with the curses of these afflictions.<br />
Ancient Arts and Meditation &#8211; Blanking out your mind such as in meditation practices or seeking extra-paranormal powers (such as in most forms of karate and self-defense practices) results in demonic possession. Also both forms of white and black magic/witchcraft.<br />
Self-Sacrifice and Self-Mutilation<br />
The lure of sex, drugs, wealth, fame, and power is the motivating factor for most of those who get involved with secret societies and the occult such as Satanism, Luciferianism, and Wicca. For others perhaps the sense of wanting to belong to something or trying to fill an empty void of loneliness and wanting to be a part of a group or organization leads them to get involved. For kids it can be seen as the ultimate form of rebellion against their parents and so it is enticing for them to get involved.<br />
For whatever reason, the dark side can become appealing and is appealing to those who seek it. But they never truly see the dark side of the dark side until they are ensnared by it. And it doesn&#8217;t take them long to realize it wasn&#8217;t all it was hyped up to be and they are miserable, become possessed by devils, and feel trapped and helpless. The promises such as wealth, fame and fortune are only given to a handful of all those who become involved to keep the facade going.<br />
Satan never tells anyone the down side of anything. He lures and entices people to follow him either directly or indirectly through his army and human pawns with a &#8220;what&#8217;s in it for you&#8221; mentality but only focuses on the good things that person wants to hear to lure them in. Once they are involved they get deeper involved into his traps of self destruction, sell their souls to him, or become victims of a satanic sacrifice themselves. Many young people are lured into satanic groups such as The Brotherhood as bait only to become victims of sacrifice on a satanic altar.<br />
In my spirit I keep seeing people, young adults, many of them, with missing limbs, many of them with only half arms, and they&#8217;re dazed over, like zombeish.<br />
In the last days when Satan comes to power he will demand that all those who truly love him must prove their loyalty to him. Perhaps self-mutilation is how many will do it. Or perhaps they are trying to escape the chip/mark they received in their right hand as described in Revelation 13 by cutting off their right hand or arm. But there&#8217;s no escaping it. Once you receive his mark/name/number in your right hand or forehead he owns your soul permanently and cutting off your hand will do nothing but give you a handicap.<br />
One Big Abomination<br />
If you stand back and look at the world today it is just one big abomination. The governments and religions of the world are all ensnared by the devil. He&#8217;s in them all, he&#8217;s running them all, and he&#8217;s worshipped and followed by billions of people directly or indirectly.<br />
Most people are blinded by the light. Satan&#8217;s light. They are dominated by the Spirit of Religiosity and Spirits of Deception rather than the Lord&#8217;s Holy Spirit. And you can&#8217;t tell them any different. They feel holy, they feel they are filled with His Spirit when it is the false light that dominates them. They love their delusions, witchcrafts, deceit and errors. The only way to escape it and know if you are truly one of His is to seek Him daily and ask Him to reveal the truth in all things to you. To lead you into His Truth Himself. It is a process. You won&#8217;t get it at all at once. But as you continue to ask Him and seek Him for the truth you will begin to see the errors and apostasies you are in and that are around you. You will become less of man and your own head wisdom and more of Him. You will walk away from the errors and embrace His truth.<br />
If you are involved with religion you are told what to believe and what the truth is. You blindly accept what it is you are told to believe because you trust the people around you or those teaching you. You adopt their views as your own and their teachings on doctrines as your own. And if there is a discrepancy or contradiction you are told what to believe regardless if you understand it or not. Many just blindly accept and believe what they are told to and discouraged from questioning anything. This is mind control.<br />
Religion is used as mind control. Yahushuah is not the one being worshipped in religion(s) today. Man interprets for themselves what they think it is He is telling us to do and these interpretations have led into thousands of denominations just within Protestantism itself.<br />
If you have received His Salvation then you are filled with His Spirit and it is His Spirit that leads us and guides us into His truth. His laws are written on our hearts. His Spirit is not something we have to obtain as taught by the Pentecostals. Speaking in tongues is a manifestation of a person&#8217;s flesh, not His Spirit. The 12 apostles of the Lord&#8217;s didn&#8217;t pray in tongues. This apostasy can be attributed to Paul, who was self-appointed and not one of the 12 apostles of the Lord&#8217;s (see http://www.justgivemethetruth.com) who introduced Mithraism into the church (see http://www.sherryshriner.com/sherry/churches.htm)<br />
Ancient Israel was governed by a royal priesthood. The early believers were governed by the apostles. After 300 years of persecution after Yahushuah arose from the dead and left earth, the churches established by the apostles were in shambles, the Scriptures they carried were burned, and a pagan Roman governor called Constantine established an official church to bring peace to the country. It was the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. that suggested what would be official church doctrine and what wouldn&#8217;t. It was ultimately Constantine who made the final decisions and gave the final approval. Those on this council were not from the original early believers who had been scattered and persecuted but hand picked by Constantine himself who wasn&#8217;t even a Christian. And over the past 2000 years the churches have blindly accepted this as being of the Lord. The King James Version of the Bible was put together by a homosexual mason who had sworn oaths to Lucifer. And the churches blindly accept what he told them was the official Word of God..i.e. the KJV.<br />
The Word of God is in the KJV, but the book itself has been manipulated by King James and the Roman Catholic Church to keep true believers of the Most High in apostasy. Especially if they follow Paul&#8217;s teachings. Most of them regard the Apostle John&#8217;s warnings of adding to or subtracting anything from his scroll and apply it to the entire KJV and so dare not question anything within the KJV itself. It was perfect mind control manipulation instigated by King James. A pagan in charge of putting together the Bible? And the churches never question this.<br />
The Bible today is the modern day Garden of Eden. It contains the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Which tree are you eating from? That is why we are to pray for discernment and the guidance of His Holy Spirit when we read &#8220;His Word.&#8221; Because not all of it is. When Jesus/Yahushuah spoke of His Word He was not referring to a modern day KJV. He was referring to His Word, His Gospel, which was His message of Salvation, Repentance, Good Works, and keeping His Commandments and Laws.<br />
The Lord allowed Adam and Eve to be tested in His Garden of Eden. Don&#8217;t you think He&#8217;s allowing His people to be tested today in &#8220;His Word&#8221;? If they are doing as He commanded and eating from the Tree of Life (Him) and reading His Words, then it&#8217;s obvious that Paul is in contradiction to Him and not in alignment with Him. Because Jesus says to do one thing and Paul says to do another, &#8220;never mind what was spoken before listen to me&#8221; his basic mentality throughout all his books.<br />
There is freedom and peace in truth. Once you start to see it the nagging that &#8220;something is wrong&#8221; or &#8220;something doesn&#8217;t feel right&#8221; starts to make sense. It is the Spirit of Truth which is the Lord trying to get your attention.<br />
Three Strikes and He&#8217;s Out<br />
Lucifer has been allotted three rebellions against the Most High.<br />
During the first rebellion of Lucifer&#8217;s against the Most High he successfully coerced and deceived 1/3 of the angels to join with him. That means a majority 2/3 were not fooled by him and didn&#8217;t follow him. Lucifer lost and his final judgment of eternity in the lake of fire was delayed. However immediate judgment was pronounced and part of that included that he lost his home planet for a time, (it was destroyed and cast out of the solar system, aka Planet X returning) and he lost his angelic looks becoming a dragon in appearance.<br />
We are now engaged in his second attempt to rebel and deceive, this time mankind. This time the majority will follow him. Billions of people will lose their souls to him and already have throughout the centuries. The Most High is using Lucifer for His own purposes. To test people and whom they will serve. And if they will listen to and follow HIM or be led astray by the devil and his tactics. He will lose this rebellion and his judgment will be pronounced at the Second Coming of Christ when Satan is chained and cast into the abyss AKA bottomless pit for 1000 years as described in Revelation chapter 20:1-3.<br />
His final and last rebellion will be at the end of the Millennial Reign as described in Revelation chapter 20:7-10. He will fail this one as well and at this time he will be cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity never to be free again. Three attempts, three losses. The created can never usurp the authority of the Creator. Lucifer was a created being who rebelled against the Most High and knows the judgment that awaits him. He creates an illusion for those around him and deceives his followers (again) so they&#8217;ll do his bidding that they can win and beat God.<br />
Breaking Out<br />
Many of the Lord&#8217;s people are frustrated, sickened, and tired of the ongoing wars, tactics and games of Satan. And it&#8217;s going to get worse, much worse.<br />
As the final stage of mankind ruling earth comes to a close Satan will be allowed to rule for 42 months. Not only will he seek to finish what he started in destroying mankind, he will target and kill all those who refuse to worship him as God.<br />
Before he even comes to power there is going to be much destruction and persecution of the Lord&#8217;s people on earth. The Lord is going to lead many people to safe havens. He will lead people to get out of the cities and away from areas that will be dominated by Lucifer and his armies (humans, aliens, and demons). On the other hand, many of those who call Him by His Name won&#8217;t be led to safe havens. Some will have other purposes to fulfill, while many yet will be tested for their faith and die as martyrs.<br />
Our only hope is in Yahushuah. The blood of Yahushuah can break all contracts and oaths to the devil, generational curses, and bondage many have been put under by Satan and his demonic and alien realms. Just renounce and repent of your association with him and acknowledge Yahushuah as your Saviour and live for Him and do as He commands http://www.sherryshriner.com/salvation.htm<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Virat Sant Sammelan in Mumbai<br />
Religious leaders exhort society to fight terror unitedly<br />
Saints to take up national awareness campaign<br />
Noted saint Shri Asaram Bapu presided over the Sammelan. VHP president Shri Ashok Singhal, Sadhvi Ritambhara, Swami Hansraj, Rameshwardas Maharaj from Rishikesh, Raghwacharya Maharaj from Rewasa Peeth, Parmanand Maharaj, Krishan Muni Maharaj, Jain Muni Vimal Sagar Maharaj, Ramkamaldas Vedanti from Kashi, Nrityagopaldas of Ramjanmabhoomi Trust, VHP general secretary Dr Pravin Togadiya, Ramvilas Maharaj, Devendranath Maharaj, Ravindraji Maharaj, Chaitanya Maharaj, Harigiri Maharaj, Shivshankargiri Maharaj and senior Sangh Pracharak Shri Madhubhai Kulkarni attended the Sammelan.<br />
To counter increasing terrorism and terror activities in the country the seers have decided to organise public meetings across the country between February 20 and March 20. Decision to this effect was taken by saints at a Sant Sammelan organised in Mumbai on January 30. The saints will conduct an awareness drive. </p>
<p>Noted saint Shri Asaram Bapu presided over the Sammelan. VHP president Shri Ashok Singhal, Sadhvi Ritambhara, Swami Hansraj, Rameshwardas Maharaj from Rishikesh, Raghwacharya Maharaj from Rewasa Peeth, Parmanand Maharaj, Krishan Muni Maharaj, Jain Muni Vimal Sagar Maharaj, Ramkamaldas Vedanti from Kashi, Nrityagopaldas of Ramjanmabhoomi Trust, VHP general secretary Dr Pravin Togadia, Ramvilas Maharaj, Devendranath Maharaj, Ravindraji Maharaj, Chaitanya Maharaj, Harigiri Maharaj, Shivshankargiri Maharaj, and senior Sangh Pracharak Shri Madhubhai Kulkarni attended the Sammelan. </p>
<p>Addressing the gathering of more than one lakh people Sant Asaram Bapu said together we have to end terrorism from within and outside the country. For the uplift of the poor, those who are able, should provide education, health care, homestead and employment to them. With the help of outsiders and the missionaries, conspiracies are being hatched to defame the Hindu seers and their religious beliefs. Hindus should inculcate more faith in their seers, so that more and more people can be returned to their fold. Children should be well brought up in a cultured environment rather than in a school built by people believing in conversions, he added. </p>
<p>In her usual aggressive way, Sadhvi Ritambhara said India and Hindus are in a sensitive, vulnerable situation. If Mahatma Gandhi after Independence had installed Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel instead of Pandit Nehru as leader of the country we would not have come to this situation. Soon after Independence the nation through outside conspiracies is caught in the mires of self-aggrandisation and consumerism at the cost of spiritualism. Because of increase in terrorism, conversions, incursions, poverty, nepotism and unemployment, the seers leaving their spiritualism and godly prayers, have to step into the mundane revolutionary activities. </p>
<p>She also chided the media for considering this step an escape from facing terrorism. Seers are not afraid of terrorism and teach bravery. Whenever there was an invasion on religion or otherwise, the seers have taken arms and defended the motherland. She also said that India would not rest until the dream of united India is achieved. She opined that missionaries in the garb of service are indulging in conversions. Anybody can stay in our country provided they love this country and respect its traditions. </p>
<p>Akhada Parishad?s Gyandas Maharaj pleaded for a government not sympathetic to terror perpetrators. Akhada Parishad?s general secretary Harigiri Maharaj requested the media to be bipartisan and straightforward. Dharmacharya Gangadhar Saraswati appealed to Muslims to accept common civil code. He said whenever they want, only Shariat is implemented, but when it comes to criminality they want application of ?Indian Criminal Code? to save themselves from the harsh Shariat laws. Other Muslim countries have enacted their civil and criminal laws, then why only in India do they want differential treatment? Ramdayal Maharaj warned the government to stop ill-treatment of majority community under the guise of secularism. Parmatmanand Maharaj of Acharya Mahasabha was of the opinion that increase in terrorism is a direct result of lack of political will and determination. </p>
<p>Swami Chinmayanand said today?s government has damaged self-respect. He was of the opinion that if Afzal Guru had been hanged, the November 26, 2008 incident in Mumbai would not have occurred. He challenged the terrorists to come out of stealth and darkness and face our Jawans in hand-to-hand combat. Addressing the youth, he asked them to give their youth to the country so that a spiritual India is resurrected. He said the Preamble of Constitution should have spiritualism rather than secularism. Tanpure Maharaj of Varkari Sampraday said that Shivaji?s Maharashtra cannot allow terrorism. And for this, he said, we should all come together, overcoming the differences of cast and creed divisions</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Albert Einstein:<br />
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man&#8217;s life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.</p>
<p>Aldous Huxley:<br />
Your true traveler finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty &#8212; his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.</p>
<p>Anne Morrow Lindbergh:<br />
Him that I love, I wish to be free &#8212; even from me.</p>
<p>Barbara Ehrenreich:<br />
That&#8217;s free enterprise, friends: freedom to gamble, freedom to lose. And the great thing &#8212; the truly democratic thing about it &#8212; is that you don&#8217;t even have to be a player to lose.</p>
<p>Benjamin Franklin:<br />
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security</p>
<p>C. Wright Mills:<br />
Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them &#8212; and then, the opportunity to choose.</p>
<p>Carl Shurz:<br />
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other. </p>
<p>Charlie Daniels:<br />
A brief candle; both ends burning<br />
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning<br />
A friend to share the lonesome times<br />
A handshake and a sip of wine<br />
So say it loud and let it ring<br />
We are all a part of everything<br />
The future, present and the past<br />
Fly on proud bird<br />
You&#8217;re free at last.</p>
<p>written en route to the funeral for his friend, Ronnie Van Zant of the band, Lynyrd Skynyrd.</p>
<p>Clarence Darrow:<br />
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man&#8217;s freedom. You can only be free if I am free.</p>
<p>Dorothy Thompson:<br />
When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force. When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered.</p>
<p>Dorothy Thompson:<br />
Of all forms of government and society, those of free men and women are in many respects the most brittle. They give the fullest freedom for activities of private persons and groups who often identify their own interests, essentially selfish, with the general welfare.</p>
<p>Dorothy Thompson:<br />
It is not the fact of liberty but the way in which liberty is exercised that ultimately determines whether liberty itself survives.</p>
<p>Dwight D. Eisenhower:<br />
We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.</p>
<p>Edward R. Murrow:<br />
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.</p>
<p>Eleanor Holmes Norton:<br />
The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don&#8217;t agree with.</p>
<p>Epictetus:<br />
We must not believe the many, who say that only free people ought to be educated, but we should rather believe the philosophers who say that only the educated are free. </p>
<p>Discourses </p>
<p>Erich Fromm:<br />
Human history begins with man&#8217;s act of disobedience which is at the very same time the beginning of his freedom and development of his reason.</p>
<p>Eugene V. Debs:<br />
Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.</p>
<p>Florynce Kennedy:<br />
Freedom is like taking a bath &#8212; you have to keep doing it every day!</p>
<p>Franklin Delano Roosevelt:<br />
The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government.</p>
<p>Franklin Delano Roosevelt:<br />
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence.</p>
<p>Frederick Douglass:<br />
Who would be free themselves must strike the blow. Better even to die free than to live slaves.</p>
<p>Frederick Douglass:<br />
Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.</p>
<p>Gloria Steinem:<br />
The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizen&#8217;s skin. </p>
<p>Goethe:<br />
None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.</p>
<p>H. L. Mencken:<br />
I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman&#8217;s club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave.</p>
<p>H. L. Mencken:<br />
The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.</p>
<p>Henri-Frédéric Amiel:<br />
Liberty, equality &#8211; bad principles! The only true principle for humanity is justice; and justice to the feeble is protection and kindness.</p>
<p>Henry David Thoreau:<br />
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.</p>
<p>Henry David Thoreau:<br />
Gardening is civil and social, but it wants the vigor and freedom of the forest and the outlaw.</p>
<p>Hodding Carter:<br />
There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings.</p>
<p>Hubert Humphrey:<br />
The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.</p>
<p>James Baldwin:<br />
Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.</p>
<p>Jean-Paul Sartre:<br />
Freedom is what you do with what&#8217;s been done to you.</p>
<p>Jesse Jackson:<br />
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to flee and fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.</p>
<p>John Adams:<br />
There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.</p>
<p>John Dewey:<br />
The only freedom that is of enduring importance is the freedom of intelligence, that is to say, freedom of observation and of judgment, exercised in behalf of purposes that are intrinsically worth while. The commonest mistake made about freedom is, I think, to identify it with freedom of movement, or, with the external or physical side of activity.</p>
<p>John F. Kennedy:<br />
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.</p>
<p>John F. Kennedy:<br />
The wave of the future is not the conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations and free men.</p>
<p>John F. Kennedy:<br />
Liberty without learning is always in peril and learning without liberty is always in vain.</p>
<p>John Lewis:<br />
We live in a country where we&#8217;re supposed to have freedom of the press and religious freedom, but I think to some degree, there&#8217;s a sense of fear in America today, that if you say the wrong thing, what some people will consider what is wrong, if you step out of line, if you dissent, whether you be an entertainer, that somehow and some way this government or the forces to be will come down on you.</p>
<p>John P. Zenger:<br />
No nation ancient or modern ever lost the liberty of freely speaking, writing, or publishing their sentiments, but forthwith lost their liberty in general and became slaves.</p>
<p>John Philpot Curran:<br />
It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt. (1790)</p>
<p>John Stuart Mill:<br />
The only part of the conduct of anyone for which he is amenable to society is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.</p>
<p>John Stuart Mill:<br />
The sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the opinion of others, to do so would be wise, or even right&#8230; The only part of the conduct of anyone, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.</p>
<p>Leonid Brezhnev:<br />
The trouble with free elections is, you never know who is going to win.</p>
<p>Lillian Hellman:<br />
For every man who lives without freedom, the rest of us must face the guilt.</p>
<p>Margaret Sanger:<br />
A free race cannot be born of slave mothers.</p>
<p>Marianne Williamson:<br />
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.</p>
<p>Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach:<br />
As far as your self-control goes, as far goes your freedom.</p>
<p>Marilyn Ferguson:<br />
Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a freedom.</p>
<p>Mark Twain:<br />
A discriminating irreverence is the creator and protector of human liberty.</p>
<p>Mark Twain:<br />
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have these three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence to practice neither.</p>
<p>Mohandas K. Gandhi:<br />
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.</p>
<p>Molly Ivins:<br />
It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America.</p>
<p>Noam Chomsky:<br />
For those who stubbornly seek freedom, there can be no more urgent task than to come to understand the mechanisms and practices of indoctrination. These are easy to perceive in the totalitarian societies, much less so in the system of &#8216;brainwashing under freedom&#8217; to which we are subjected and which all too often we sere as willing or unwitting instruments.</p>
<p>Noam Chomsky:<br />
If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it at all.</p>
<p>Noam Chomsky:<br />
In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued &#8211; they may be essential to survival.</p>
<p>Norman Thomas:<br />
After I asked him what he meant, he replied that freedom consisted of the unimpeded right to get rich, to use his ability, no matter what the cost to others, to win advancement.</p>
<p>Patrick Henry:<br />
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!</p>
<p>Paul Tillich:<br />
Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free.</p>
<p>Pearl S. Buck:<br />
None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.</p>
<p>Peyton Conway March:<br />
There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life &#8212; happiness, freedom, and peace of mind &#8212; are always attained by giving them to someone else.</p>
<p>Rabbi Sherwin Wine:<br />
There are two visions of America. One precedes our founding fathers and finds its roots in the harshness of our puritan past. It is very suspicious of freedom, uncomfortable with diversity, hostile to science, unfriendly to reason, contemptuous of personal autonomy. It sees America as a religious nation. It views patriotism as allegiance to God. It secretly adores coercion and conformity. Despite our constitution, despite the legacy of the Enlightenment, it appeals to millions of Americans and threatens our freedom.</p>
<p>The other vision finds its roots in the spirit of our founding revolution and in the leaders of this nation who embraced the age of reason. It loves freedom, encourages diversity, embraces science and affirms the dignity and rights of every individual. It sees America as a moral nation, neither completely religious nor completely secular. It defines patriotism as love of country and of the people who make it strong. It defends all citizens against unjust coercion and irrational conformity.</p>
<p>This second vision is our vision. It is the vision of a free society. We must be bold enough to proclaim it and strong enough to defend it against all its enemies.</p>
<p>Ralph Waldo Emerson:<br />
For what avail the plough or sail,<br />
Or land or life, if freedom fail?</p>
<p>&#8220;Boston&#8221; Stanza 15</p>
<p>Ramsey Clark:<br />
A right is not what someone gives you; it&#8217;s what no one can take from you.</p>
<p>Robert Frost:<br />
Freedom lies in being bold.</p>
<p>Rosa Luxemburg:<br />
Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element.</p>
<p>Rosa Luxemburg:<br />
Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently.</p>
<p>Sam Adams:<br />
It is no dishonor to be in a minority in the cause of liberty and virtue.</p>
<p>Samuel Adams:<br />
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.</p>
<p>Simone Weil:<br />
Liberty, taking the word in its concrete sense, consists in the ability to choose.</p>
<p>Somerset Maugham:<br />
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.</p>
<p>Søren Kierkegaard:<br />
People hardly ever make use of the freedom they have. For example, the freedom of thought. Instead they demand freedom of speech as a compensation.</p>
<p>Thomas Jefferson:<br />
A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.</p>
<p>Thomas Jefferson:<br />
No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.</p>
<p>Thomas Jefferson:<br />
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned &#8212; this is the sum of good government.</p>
<p>Thomas Jefferson:<br />
I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.</p>
<p>Thomas Jefferson:<br />
I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.</p>
<p>Unknown:<br />
[C]reative ability and personal responsibility are strongest when the mind is free from supernatural belief and operates in an atmosphere of freedom and democracy.</p>
<p>Victor Frankl:<br />
Everything can be taken from a man but &#8230; the last of the human freedoms &#8211; to choose one&#8217;s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one&#8217;s own way.</p>
<p>Viktor Frankl:<br />
We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms &#8212; to choose one&#8217;s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one&#8217;s own way.</p>
<p>Virginia Woolf:<br />
To enjoy freedom, if the platitude is pardonable, we have of course to control ourselves. We must not squander our powers, helplessly and ignorantly, squirting half the house in order to water a single rose-bush; we must train them, exactly and powerfully, here on the very spot.</p>
<p>Virginia Woolf:<br />
The history of men&#8217;s opposition to women&#8217;s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.</p>
<p>Voltaire:<br />
So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.</p>
<p>Wendell Phillips:<br />
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.</p>
<p>frequently misattributed to Thomas Jefferson</p>
<p>Wendy Kaminer:<br />
Patriotism does not oblige us to acquiesce in the destruction of liberty. Patriotism obliges us to question it, at least. </p>
<p>William O. Douglas:<br />
Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.</p>
