ice watch training

Defined

Training covers the right to record law enforcement, ask for badge numbers, and document arrests without obstructing or interfering with officers

Both Good and Yetti had this training which says you do not interfere. 

Politics/religion

Look at so many deaths that have occurred and notice how they have a religion coupled with politics base. 

They all do.

I'm not including ICE related deaths though you could argue that the two dead in Minneapolis were making politics their religion. 

Charlie Kirk was too politically religious. In the twin cities a pastor killed two Democrats. A trans killed students at a Catholic school. 

More killing occurred at another faith based school. 

I think Reiner made the mistake of attacking Republicans in his film about faith becoming political. He used his film about the danger of political faith to be political about it!!

And was he making his politics religious?

This mix of politics and religion seems to be potent.

The Law

There's plenty of doing what is against God's law but is not against civic law.

Being caught when breaking civic law is sometimes the only solution, to end the lawbreaking, while some escape this. 

But if what is done is only against God's law then all you have is karma, conscience, an awareness of future consequence, hopefully spelled out by genuine Christian believers. 

And many live without any of these. So they damn themselves. And the warning.goes unheard. 

If it's against God's law and civic law and a person is caught it may result in their salvation, i.e. Jeffrey Dahmer. 

The guy who found himself in hell suddenly after he had said he planned to build "bigger barns" but God said no you are done, wanted to warn people but Abraham said that would not be possible. I think one reason is bc the guy never cared about people when he lived on earth so he probably didn't care now that he was in hell, besides possibly helping to cause people to go to hell. Maybe he hope for time out of hell. 

Dimly Burning Wick .

Jesus said, A dimly burning wick I will not put out (extinguish)

When u try to understand God's agonizing patience maybe it has to do with the above scripture, He is wary of doing anything to well the slightest hope of any life left in a person, spiritually, which is your dimly burning wick. You may be sure someone is dead spiritually but God knows if that is not true and He will not eliminate the possibility if there any possibility at all of reviving what is almost dead. 

words of Hashem

"Every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle on a thousand hills."

NIV Micah 7 vs 18, 19

Who is a God like you,

    who pardons sin and forgives the transgression

    of the remnant of his inheritance?

You do not stay angry forever

    but delight to show mercy.5

19 You will again have compassion on us;

    you will tread our sins under foot

    and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

Profiling, if the name is German

This all started when I met this man who had a German name who I was quite"into" though he had just started dating someone.

I realized he had a German name and  immediately I noticed a tendency to recoil so I sought to at last erase my profiling problem. 

I started to look closely at German history, and was recalling an English documentary that talked about Germans back at the time of WW1.

They were saying that the Germans were insecure at the time of WW1 because they had been the cutting edge back in the day but now America and England were emerging as the dominant people who were the truly innovative. 

Then I realized if you look back you can see Germany WAS the dominant country and a leader to cause progression as America had now become. 

You look at Bach and then Handel and Beethoven and others. 

And they were spiritual leaders and moral. 

Interesting to notice how Charlie Parker came to New York in 1940. Thus began the huge cultural injection of black Americans and how odd, right at the beginning of the war. So here  America was cutting edge, most progressive,. newest musical styles. But this had been the Germans' signature. 

Germans had film at the same time it had begun in America and in England as a huge cultural phenomenon. 

Animation had begun in the 1920s in America with Felix the cat and Mickey Mouse.

And Disney. But Germany fell behind in that as they plunged into darkness. 

In America there was jazz and lots of creativity,  but the innovation had been so German. 

So I take it that pride took the place of self worth. Strange how it can do that.

You look back and you realize that Martin Luther and 1517 were phenomenal as a turning point in western history. We find it hard to realize that the world before this was extremely dark. 

Standing up to political Christianity as Martin Luther did was one of the bravest acts in history. 

But who didn't like it, besides Satan?

Humans. You just didn't see them. There were humans in love with Satan. 1517 was their most hated moment in history. 

Every step forward like this in history comes when people who are inspired by Messiah dare to make a radical move toward a better world against so many doomsday prophecies and negative expectations. It's messianic. It's moving towards the Messiah being on earth as king. 

Because the Bible talks about those who "shrink back" at the thought of this out of fear. Not the right kind. 

And it talks about those who "wash their robes" in anticipation of Christ. 

It was a huge misconception in the modern world after the reformation that evil had been eradicated.

This was even expressed by a Jewish man Elie Weisel who had been in a concentration camp who said "how can such evil exist in the modern world?"

I used to think the same way, partly bc my swedish forebears were like this, but now have some answers to this question. And why do people become more evil as we get closer to Messiah?.

One reason is that iniquity abounds with time. So the Bible says, bc it doesn't get a remedy. The remedy is rejected.  People like Weisel actually reflect the belief that the redemption of Christ was opened up to people so much more after the reformation. Rabbi Neusner another Jew believed this too.  But there is free will. 

And contrary to the apostle"s warning "don't let freedom become an opportunity for your evil nature" that is just what many have done. 

Calvin's belief became popular right at the time of the reformation teaching that God had willed you to make a wrong choice so it actually gave people an excuse. But the truth is your will is still free to opt out of a wrong choice otherwise this would not be the good news. The concept is fate controlling you that you have no control over and it's an ancient pagan belief. 

But that belief was strengthened by people having the sense that they seemed bound to a wrong choice by the immense degree of iniquity in their souls bc iniquity got passed down. 

It's true that so much iniquity passed down limits people in making right choices. Yet free will still exists. People can still opt out and embrace Christ's salvation. Renewing the mind, going through a redemptive process. This is not easy. But salvation comes prior to all of that. 

And even though salvation isn't lost, sin still has a price and causes grief and pain. 

But the Germans. I have realized how they are gifted. Really gifted. They have that technology knack that the Japanese and Chinese have. They make the better cars, musical instruments etc. Just like the Japanese and now the Chinese. 

They have musical talent. Creative. Daft Punk is the result of a guy learning "German Disco" then coming to the States and writing for Donna Summer. From there he wrote for Daft Punk who has European members as well as Spanish and American black members.

Very "E Pluribus Unum," but the origin is German showing how they have changed. 

It causes me to wonder if their time since being liberated from a dead Christianity is actually the source of their immense giftedness. Maybe they accessed more of what they are capable of. 

I have a sister who moved to Germany years ago and loves living there. She is so proud of them for how they have changed. 

But look at how at the time of WW2, it was also when the Jews were just about to go back to is Israel. So one remaining prophecy, with hardly any prophecies left to be fulfilled and now it was happening. And Satan had rallied humans bc he wanted to stop it. 

Ridiculous of course but he never has seemed to be rational. See Isaiah 14. Humans who are enamoured of him are no more rational. 

JEWS

I think they tend to have a big heart and cannot or did not see people for what they were, not discounting that there were Jews who betrayed other Jews in the 1940s. 

But they tend to want to be very idealistic and live in love not hate (Rob Reiner) but they have been an object of hatred. So, much effort has been made to discourage them from believing in Jesus by utilizing false Christianity (Inquisition. Etc.) I would not want to be guilty of that before the creator!!

Germany had become the ideal place where people were fair, tolerant, open minded. Jews had grown to trust them not seeing the evil that was creeping in. Thank God there were those who began to recognize what was happening, Germans too, like Bonhoffer, and that the nightmare though brutal, was quelled rather quickly. 

But Jews sadly didn't see what was happening until it had become hideous. Thank God too for people like Schindler. And the mystery woman, an American spy.

Thank God for hindsight. 

What happened to Germany in the 1930s and 40s is nothing short of tragic. I have wanted to weep over this. Germans were amazing and wonderful people. The corruption that took place should teach us what to avoid. 

More than anything it came from false Christianity. 

But the Germans were sought after by a satanic agenda, every weakness exploited, sought after to corrupt, to destroy them. 

Gee that reminds me of someone else. This happened to the Germans bc they had done something right, just as America did something very right. 

Minnesota did something very right. Black people have told me how happy their lives were in Minnesota. No race riots during the 1960s. 

And all of this for the Germans and for America began with great acts of courage. And it can only continue with great acts of courage. 

Germany, sought after by evil, had at last helped the entire world to find that "perfect love that casts out fear."

Since Hitler Was Considered...

Worse than Ghengis Kahn...I've decided that Christianity that masks evil is more evil than any other. You have taken God's sacred things and thoroughly trashed and wasted them, twisted them. If course it invites Satan until it is a full on contest with God by Satan. It's Satan inviting humanity to destroy itself like he did. 

There is only one remedy. Now you think you have this remedy while you have totally butchered it. 

It's insanity that will parade itself as normalcy. It is usually very material minded. 

I believe Mohammed was indeed the "Man of Sin" that revelation talks about 

It says he will change the times and the law. He did. He has changed the times!! He changed Judeo Christian law into Islamic law. But one thing I see is a very pseudo righteous facade that is not in fact righteous. 

In the West we had our political, agonizing false Christianity, no remedy for the Islamic problem while they thought through their armies and political Christianity they would stop Islam. 

The ordeal in Minnesota....

Smacks of being angry as Democrats that control has been challenged or reduced. 

You can't convince me that the male taking out a gun or the female trying to block federal officers with her car, white people, that this is about caring about immigrants.

You are scaring me Democrats!! I think you maybe rabidly desire control. 

But on the other hand, I'm glad you exist bc I'm much less afraid of fascism having an opportunity bc of you. 

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Minnesota old friend writes

Quotation marks here:

When I imagine being in MN with this deluge of murder-prone ICE agents raining down on MY SOVEREIGN STATE it makes my blood boil.

Clinton and Obama deported a serious # of people but Trump just "has" to deport in his trademark "Showman Bully" style. 🙄 

Quotation marks here. 

Just know this person is basically a Republican. 

She goes on to post an article about Pretti. 

Then shares an article about past enforcement against illegal immigration. 

Under Barack Obama

Obama's administration saw more detailed tracking after ICE reforms (e.g., post-2009 death review processes prompted by advocacy and media scrutiny). Deaths occurred primarily in ICE detention facilities, often attributed to substandard medical care, despite promises of reform.

In-detention deaths: Reports consistently cite around 56 deaths in ICE custody during Obama's full term (2009–2017), including:

At least 6 suicides and one post-suicide-attempt death.

Analyses (e.g., ACLU, Detention Watch Network, National Immigrant Justice Center in 2016) found that in nearly half of reviewed cases (2010–2012), failures to comply with ICE medical standards contributed, with some deemed preventable (e.g., untreated infections, delayed care leading to cardiac issues or organ failure).

Human Rights Watch (2016) reviewed 18 deaths post-2012, concluding subpar care likely contributed to at least 7.

Other estimates (e.g., Cato Institute) place totals around 67–72 across fiscal years.

Under Bill Clinton

Clinton's era predated the creation of ICE (formed in 2003), so systematic tracking of detention deaths was limited. No comprehensive public tally exists for in-detention deaths during his terms, but policies like Operation Gatekeeper (launched 1994) and the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) militarized the border and funneled migrants into remote, dangerous areas (e.g., deserts, mountains).

This "prevention through deterrence" strategy significantly increased migrant deaths during border crossings, with estimates of hundreds to thousands over time [!!!  She inserts: "This can't be true!"😊 ] due to dehydration, exposure, drowning, or falls. 

For example: Border-crossing deaths rose sharply after 1994, from under 30 annually to over 100 by the late 1990s in some sectors, with cumulative figures in the thousands since (e.g., reports cite ~1,700 reported deaths from 1994–mid-2001 in some analyses).

Human rights groups and academic studies (e.g., from UC San Diego) described these as foreseeable consequences of pushing crossings into lethal terrain. [She adds: "Gross!"]

She goes on to say:

A cynic would observe that when ICE kills white people like us, that's when we get upset.  

When we lived in TX (1980s) I was learning Spanish even back then. One day a migrant (young male maybe 18-20 years old) appeared at the law firm where I worked. With my lousy Spanish I managed to understand that he may have been illegal, I saw he was frightened and really worried. Through the auspices of a Mexican friend Maria (my boss, law firm owner, gave me leave to do this) I drove him to one of her friends' houses in the suburbs where they, as Spanish speakers, took him in and found employment for him on a construction site.  

Agents used to appear at a restaurant in Dallas where my husband and I worked. All the immigrants would get rounded up, but by us, lol, and hidden in the walk-in cooler till they left. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very cool coming from this friend. 

This old friend went to art school and got a bachelor of arts in art. At the end of it she said, "what am I going to do with an art degree?"

What she did with it...she became a legal secretary, lol.

Another friend from our same town said about her, "I always saw her as becoming more liberal." She knows the friend is open minded, creative. 

I explained how my friend and her husband, revering things of faith, joined a community that is Catholic oriented when they wanted to start a family, thus the association with them brought them into more conservative politics. 

I just wanted to show how you ought not just pigeon hole Republicans any more than you would want Democrats pigeonholed. 

We're all just people trying to figure things out. 

Minnesota N'ICE

The real Minnesota comes out. The pent up angry Minnesotan who tries so hard to be nice, hiding true feelings.
