Chuck Baldwin: Where Will 2015 Take Us?

Leave a reply

Unfortunately, there are only a precious few who seem to understand this burgeoning Police State and who actively oppose it. A majority of Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, unbelievers and Christians, all seem to, not only tolerate the police-state mentality, but enthusiastically support it. And there is no momentum whatsoever to stopping it. It will only get worse in 2015.

*Christ And Caesar

True Christianity has never been associated with, supported by, or underneath Caesar’s (civil government’s) auspices or benevolence. For most of the 2,000+ years of Church history, true believers met in non-state-sanctioned or even underground churches and fellowships. In fact, the Early Church was birthed in a baptism of persecution from both the civil government (Rome) and established religion (Judaism) at the time. Not until the unholy union of the Church and State under Theodosius I (almost 400 years after Christ) did Christians accept official sanction from government. And for many centuries to follow, the official merger of Church and state led to the persecutions and deaths of untold thousands of believers deemed heretics and outlaws because their religious beliefs contradicted those of the official state-sanctioned church.

Even in early America, state-approved denominations and churches were guilty of horrific persecutions against independent-minded Christians who refused to submit to the doctrines and liturgies of state-sanctioned churches. These state-church persecutions ultimately led Roger Williams to found the colony of Rhode Island and John Leland to convince James Madison that religious liberty must be the first in our Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

After the acceptance of our Bill of Rights, America’s churches enjoyed complete independent status, being answerable only to their Creator and their own conscience. All of that changed in 1954 when then-Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Texas) successfully introduced the Johnson Amendment to the code of the Internal Revenue Service: the now-infamous 501c3 nonprofit organization status for churches. This designation made churches a creature of the state–answerable to the direct dictates of government–even regarding speech and activity.

FK – And some wonder why I have deep negative respect for mainstream ‘christianity.’

What’s really in a McDonald’s Chicken McNugget? Former Mythbuster finds out

Leave a reply

The fast food company hired former “MythBusters” host Grant Imahara to tackle the difficult questions consumers might have about Chicken McNuggets, as part of its new campaign called “Our Food. Your Questions.”

The promotional campaign aims to reveal the truth to the public about how McDonald’s food is processed. Imahara has already gone behind the scenes at a food-processing plant to get the facts on whether McDonald’s uses pink slime in its burgers or yoga mats in its McRib sandwiches.

This time around, Imahara visited the Tyson Foods processing plant in Tennessee — one of the suppliers to McDonalds — to find out once and for all what Chicken McNuggets are made of.

FK – The next one doesn’t appear to be mickeydees PR:

What’s Really Inside Those McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets?

TBHQ (TERTIARY BUTYLHYDROQUINONE): You might recognize this hard-to-pronounce ingredient (hence the acronym) from our recent “What’s Really Inside those McDonald’s French Fries” exposé (see link below in the “Resources” section). This powerful petroleum-based preservative (which is also found in varnishes, lacquers, pesticide products, cosmetics, and perfumes) may be used to help the chicken and other ingredients maintain their distinct shapes. Consumed in high doses – and it’s hard to determine exactly how much is added to McNuggets – this chemical can be toxic. Possible side effects include nausea, delirium, collapse, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and vomiting. Some studies have linked it to hyperactivity in kids, asthma, rhinitis, dermatitis, aggravated ADHD symptoms and restlessness. Furthermore, animal studies have reported that it may cause DNA damage. This mounting scientific evidence was enough that McDonald’s entirely removed this bad-news ingredient from the version of their McNuggets sold in the United Kingdom. Oh, America, can we please take a cue from the British on this one with regard to concern for our citizens’ health?

FK – These companies are feeding us poison in one way or another. I’ve never had much respect for mickeydees because of their blatant child focused marketing and later because of their support for the destruction of our most basic right.

This vid got me started on this:

FK – Between their ghetto accents and talking while chewing I can barely understand what they’re saying.

This is not chicken jerky:

FK – But their hamburgers have a 30-year warranty!
