Jack:  Hi Jim.  Hi Phyllis.

Jim:  Good morning Jack and we bid you welcome in the love and light of Mother/Father God.

Jack:   Thank you. 

Jim:  So the political arena heats up.

Jack:  It’s running quite a temperature.

Jim:  No clear front runner except John McCain has got a little bit ahead of everybody else.

Jack:  For the moment.

Jim:  Yes.

Jack:  For the moment.

Jim:  And now I understand Bloomberg is really seriously looking at running as an independent.   

Jack:  The dilemma Jim, as you know, is that independents rarely are able to do anything but pull votes away from those who have an opportunity to come forward and make a difference.  What I would like to see is for Mr. Bloomberg to remain an Independent for the time being but not run, for I think his true nation.  I do not believe that Mr. Bloomberg at this time is prepared to lead this nation but I do believe he has a great role in the rebuilding of this country, but it must be done from within, not from on top.  I am disheartened to say the least in the poor conduct of Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama at this time.  This should not continue, for if it does that, the greatest chance for the rebuilding of this nation in the eyes of the world will be damaged.  This election must be on the basis of merit, on the basis of ideas and ideals.  This has nothing to do with race or gender, it has everything thing to do with hearing the needs of the American citizens and hearing the needs of this nation in its dealings with the world.  Unless Mr. Obama rises above this, I see his opportunities to come forward as he should, will fail.  He has lost much traction in the process by playing into the games that Mrs. Clinton has begun.  Mr. Edwards has done well to stay separate and apart and this may in fact be to his advantage in February.

Jim:  This is something that I am looking forward to, Super Tuesday where the rest of us in the nation can help decide who’s going to run for office.  And of course I think in the primaries if whoever got the most votes ran for president and whoever got the second most votes ran as their mate, I think people in America would be happier.

Jack:  Absolutely.  But again this system is archaic in its nature.  There needs to be a total revision of the way that we elect our leaders.  The delegates from state to state are often not representative of the nation and it is often times that the wrong choice winds up being made as a result.  Such as it is and such as it is unlikely that the system will change in time for the upcoming election and we must deal with what is, I would like to say that Super Tuesday will cause many eyebrows to rise for there is a collective voice.  The turn out, in the primaries, in the caucuses, thus far, have been much greater than anyone expected and this will continue.  I was disheartened at the unwillingness of those in South Carolina yesterday to extend the time in the polling places when voters had to be turned away as a result of technical difficulties early in the day.  Many came out in difficult weather to have their voices heard only to be turned away.  The democratic in me says that it is ok as long as it doesn’t happen next week but as a true leader of this nation I believe that it is important for parity to exist and fairness to be the law of the process. 

Jim:  I have yet to see or hear anything from any of the candidates of what they propose to do, and I am going to try to get this to Senator Obama and to Mr. Edwards and to Mrs. Clinton. No one’s telling me what they are going to do and this is what we discussed two weeks ago.

Jack:  The dilemma, Jim, lays very simply in this; to clearly state a platform is to put your candidacy at risk.  If you speak in generalities you can glean much greater support, if you speak in specifics you tread often times on the toes of the undecided.  This is a risk, but, my friends it is a risk that in light of what is going on in this nation today needs to be taken.  One of the reasons for John McCain’s surge in the poles right now was his very simple comments the other day about holding accountable the pork barrel legislators about the promise to veto any bills and to name names.  This is what has allowed him to surge forward.  I would hope that my friends in the Democratic Party will follow that lead.  Mr. Bush’s plan to print up some more money to give a tax rebate to this nation at this time, is a band aid. It is not well served for the benefit of the American people although I will say that if you’re going to simply print money as you need it then you might as well give it back to the people.

Jim:  Yes this is something I couldn’t figure out.  We’re spending money in Iraq . We’re borrowing ourselves to the hilt, now we’re going to give all this money back.  I am, like where, are we getting this money, we’re not even paying off us going over in Iraq . 

Jack:  That is true.  Would it not be wiser to utilize those funds to bail out Citibank than to have a controlling interest taken over by a sworn enemy of this country? 

Jim:  Yes, the way I was reading in the paper the amount of money being brought in from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, all of the Middle East, Korea and China, it’s like they’re going to own us just like they said from the beginning, they’re going to own us.

Jack:  And now Mr. Bush has promised billions and billions of dollars in arms to Saudi Arabia and don’t you find it interesting that within three days of that announcement the price of gasoline fell $.07 to $.10 at the pump.

Jim:  Yes.  It’s something that I have discussed with other people.  I think that if I was sitting as President I would take a portion of NASA’s budget and take their engineers and say, you develop a carburetor and engine and I’ll make it mandatory that the American car manufactures use it, that gives us 70 miles to the gallon.  The price of oil would plummet.

Jack:  And we build without hesitation the manufacturing facilities in the state of Michigan to restore the economy and that state at the same time.

Jim:  Absolutely.  There’s no one that can tell me that it can’t be done.  Those engineers at NASA, if they can get us to the moon, if they can put objects in orbit around Mars and whatever, we can do this.  America has been capable of doing it before. 

Jack:  The reality my friends, is that it has all become such a complete farce.  The economy of this nation is nothing more than smoke in mirrors and rather than using this facade to promote a one world economy and a one world order the same efforts could be used to promote a solid America . 

Jim:  Yes, it’s true.  It’s something that we need to look at and I don’t know where it’s going.  The economy is going down hill, housing can amount to nothing really and we’re doing what they call is a ponzi game, where we are borrowing from one to shift to another and borrowing back.

Jack:  Absolutely, absolutely my friends.

Jim:  It’s like we’re floating checks around and around and around.

Jack: And where they stop nobody knows. 

Jim:  I guess the big thing for me is that I have got try to understand where our politicians are coming from, from this field of many that’s running and try and get the apathy of the American people, plugged up, filled in, blown away, whatever, but get them out there and get them to think.

Jack:  The apathy I think is easing somewhat now that people are alarmed at what is taking place.  It’s unfortunate that while they are waking up to the need to take action they are so ill informed.  It is difficult for me to understand how truly uninformed the American people have allowed themselves to become.  They can tell you of the legal mishaps of any one of a number of pop cultural icons, they can tell you where they shop, how they dress, where they had dinner, yet how many, if you go out on the street tomorrow, can even tell you what Super Tuesday really is.

Jim:  You’re right, or a simple thing that they should have learned and should be learning in high school is the capital of the states.  

Jack:  Absolutely, but you see the dumbing down of America was necessary in order to pursue the agenda that has been pursued for the last forty years.

Jim:  Ok.  It’s breaking, I guess in the last forty years the will of the American people has been broken to the point where it’s like, ok I am going to get what I can get and run. 

Jack:  To some degree that is true.  I do not see, barring, as we have discussed, a major catastrophe in this nation that wakes up the American people and unifies them.  I see little chance to prevent this nation from becoming a third world country within the next two decades.  

Jim:  That would be terribly, terribly sad. To have this nation that has been on the forefront since its birth of spearheading things within the world in a great direction to become a third world country and I can see where it can happen.

Jack:  It is, it not only can happen, my friends it will happen.

Jim:  If we don’t change.

Jack:  And even now we stand at a threshold of not having enough time to make the change before the bottom falls out.  That is why this election in 2008 is so crucially important.  We are that close to losing everything this nation stands for.

Jim:  I personally was not aware that we were on that close of a threshold. 

Jack:  Stop and think Jim.  The latest news talks about foreclosures being at their highest level in how long?  They talk about the inability of the American people to afford health insurance, yet at the same time have now proposed a medical credit score upon which medical care will be based on this notion!  If you do not have the demonstrated ability to pay for medical care they can decline to provide you with medical care.  So you take away housing, you have rapid inflation in the private sector for food, clothing, transportation, you take away medical care, you continue to cut education, where do you think it will lead, my friends, over the course of the next two decades.

Jim:  Yes.  And with this news this week of Citibank borrowing $22 billion dollars from the far east and the middle east and all rest of them that are borrowing from their people, it’s going to be, basically, our money sent over for their oil coming back and buying us again.

Jack:  Absolutely, absolutely.  My friends I would like to voluntarily and joyfully stand aside a bit early today for there is a dear friend of mine who is here who would like to speak and has a very important message.

Jim:  Alright.  And I think I know who it is we celebrate tomorrow, that who is coming forth and that is wonderful.  Before you leave I am going to do everything that I can, I want to bring more people into this discussion with you.  I want to have a caucus for lack of a better word and see if I can get more input, insights, and questions from people along what we are doing.

Jack:  I would be pleased.  Circumstances prevented us from having our fireside chat in November but anything that I can do, you know I will.

Jim:  Alright I am going to put the word out. I am going to see if the next Sunday we can have more people here and we will go from there.

Jack:  I would be pleased to do this Jim with the understanding that when these discussions take place they are kept to the discussion of relevant topics.  For this is one of the reasons that we returned to this format was as a result of the distraction that we were receiving from many who were joining you.

Jim:  Yes.

Jack:  I would almost prefer, if it would meet with your approval, to suggest opening up the next Thursday that you have a gathering scheduled that I would volunteer to appear then and feel free then to invite as many as you wish.

Jim:  Alright.

Jack:  And allow this time to be preserved for our productive discussions.  I hope you understand it is not that I do not wish to share with others for I have always been one who plays well with others but we have seen a number of detractors slow the process on many occasions.

Jim:  Yes I understand and that is fine.

Jack:  Let’s give it a shot on a Thursday. If it’s well received and the intentions are good then we can go forward and try and open this up even more. 

Jim:  Alright.

Jack:  Is this alright with you?

Jim:  That would be fine because that would give me about 10 days to put it together because we just had a channeling this past Thursday.

Jack:  Absolutely. 

Jim:  Alright.           

Jack:  My pleasure Jim.

Jim:  Thank you for that and wherever you go we know the blessings of Mother/Father God journey with you.

Jack:  And with both of you.

Jim:  Thank you.

Phyllis:  Thank you

 

.

Josiah:  Good day my friends.

Phyllis:  Good day.

Josiah:  It is…

Jim:  Josiah.

Josiah:  Indeed. 

Jim:  Thank you.

Josiah:  I wish to join you today not because the nation celebrates my birthday tomorrow but because we are at a time of great focus on the issues that were near to my heart when I was with you the last time.  There is a new view being taken of racism, of segregation, and it is to my way of thinking almost as damaging as what existed in this nation before the civil rights movement of the 50’s and 60’s.  Again, even those who are of color are using color to state their purpose, to state their intentions.  They either choose or do not choose a candidate because his color is the same as theirs.  When they choose to align, they choose to do so because after all he’s African American.  And then there are those who say I admire the man but I don’t want people to think that I am choosing him just because I think that he is African American.  The borders in the nation are in chaos, leading to a great disservice to our Hispanic brothers and sisters who have done what they have done to become citizens or legal residents of this nation, yet they are all approached now with a question mark.  My friends we have learned nothing in all these years if we allow this to continue.  Miss Phyllis you teach children.

Phyllis:  Yes.

Josiah:  Continue to teach them that we are all from the same creator.  Our blood all runs the same way.  We are all the same color underneath the skin.  This is a lesson that now in these tenuous times will become so important.  Expect much violence in this nation this summer as a result of issues having to do with the border.  I would hope that the voice of reason will echo loudly.  It would be my hope that the leaders of all demographic sections of society, race, religion, gender, political belief, all the leaders can come together to lead the people  peacefully.  This country is entitled to the right to protect its borders and should do so, yet the failure to protect our borders has been aided by those who wish to see a North American union come into being.  The people of Mexico have flowed back and forth across the border both legally and illegally for generation, yet it has suddenly gone from a trickle to a flood yet no one asks why.  Now more then ever, men of all colors, men of all religious beliefs need to ask why there is such discontent and only in truly pursuing that answer can we get back on the right road.  The train of freedom that I rode many years ago seems to have derailed again and I would hope that the leaders will come forward and stop the insanity from beginning again.            

Jim:  Yes, I see where the union, where certain groups of people would like to see the union of all North America .  As I spoke about a week ago, Canada would never do it they are too independent.  But there are powers that be that would try to force it one way or another.  And the sad part about it is I think most of our Hispanic brothers and sisters who are coming across the boarder would really prefer to stay home in their own native area if they had a decent place to work with a decent income. 

Josiah:  But yet this great nation called the United States of American sends countless jobs to places all over the world to raise standards of living, supposedly.  I am mystified my friends as to why something so close to home can not be better utilized.  There is great talent, there are great craftsmen in Mexico as you well know.  There is great desire to improve the standard of living in most areas of Mexico .  One of the greatest dilemmas to the opening of positive trade between these two nations lies at the feet of the pharmaceutical companies, for it would require the pharmaceutical companies here to be brought under the microscope even more than they are today.  We have created a society, we have created a world that is unfriendly to its inhabitants and I would urge my friends as you look toward the future of this great land, look to the leaders who will lead us out of conflict over oil and, if indeed we see the need for conflict let it be in places like the Congo, let it be in places where mankind is so completely robbing people of their rights as human beings.  Let us not ever take up arms in the war for oil while there are women and children starving and bleeding around the world. 

Jim:  Yes I agree whole heartedly.  A couple weeks ago I saw a program about, I think it was on doctors without borders, that one doctor has developed a product called Chubby- nut, that has taken children, that were starving in Africa and bringing them strength within six days and yet the federal government of ours is doing nothing to help them and we sit on tons of peanut butter.

Josiah:  And you look my friends at the efforts of the United Nations to stem the violence in the Congo .  While the American people say the United Nations has out lived its usefulness.  We can justify military conflict in Iraq when there was not cause to invade Iraq .  We can justify continued presence in Afghanistan over oil.  We can talk about taking up arms against Iran .  We talk about the right or lack there of, of any nation to utilize nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.  Yet we do nothing help those who need it the most.    

Jim:  Yes, and it’s sad, sad about what is going on within the country, within all the countries in the world that have the strength and the power to do it, to do something to reach out somehow.  We do nothing, we do nothing to prevent the raping and the killing of the women in the Congo and what’s going in Darfur and places like that.  We turn a blind eye but I look at people when they talk to me about it and I say we can do what we can do as individuals but the other people are going to reap what they sow. 

Josiah:  The great Mr. Ghandi taught so much, yet so much was forgotten over time.  Even my messages were not heard that long ago.  This nation celebrates the day of my birth but belittles that for which I gave my life. 

Jim:  yes I agree.

Josiah:  It is a time of great change.  Those who understand the concept of oneness will suffer much while all that takes place occurs in the next few years.  Understand though, that the great teacher Jesus spoke not in a riddle when he said the meek shall inherit the earth.   It will not be, my friends, those who have the most money, the greatest reserves of oil or gold, it will be those who have the greatest awareness of their connection to each other that will survive. 

Jim:  Yes that is true.

Josiah:  I wish you well my friends.  I will step aside today for this kind lady who has allowed me the honor of speaking is becoming somewhat fatigued. 

Phyllis:  Thank you for joining us and for your message.

Josiah:  It is always my humblest honor that I can continue to share messages with you, for as you know, I speak to you using the name Josiah which was not from my last life time and this is done as a reminder to all of you. Each lifetime is significant, but each lifetime is only a time, it is not who you are, it is not what you are.

Jim:  Yes.

Josiah:  This message today is important more so that at anytime during your life or the lives of many who proceeded you.

Jim:  Thank you my friend and wherever you go we know the blessings of Mother/Father God journey with you.

Josiah:  Halleluiah.
