SpaceX's Falcon 1 Falters For a Third Time (Space.com)

Message from Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO:
Plan Going Forward
It was obviously a big disappointment not to reach orbit on this flight [Falcon 1, Flight 3]. On the plus side, the flight of our first stage, with the new Merlin 1C engine that will be used in Falcon 9, was picture perfect. Unfortunately, a problem occurred with stage separation, causing the stages to be held together. This is under investigation and I will send out a note as soon as we understand exactly what happened.
The most important message I’d like to send right now is that SpaceX will not skip a beat in execution going forward. We have flight four of Falcon 1 almost ready for flight and flight five right behind that. I have also given the go ahead to begin fabrication of flight six. Falcon 9 development will also continue unabated, taking into account the lessons learned with Falcon 1. We have made great progress this past week with the successful nine engine firing.
As a precautionary measure to guard against the possibility of flight 3 not reaching orbit, SpaceX recently accepted a significant investment. Combined with our existing cash reserves, that ensures we will have more than sufficient funding on hand to continue launching Falcon 1 and develop Falcon 9 and Dragon. There should be absolutely zero question that SpaceX will prevail in reaching orbit and demonstrating reliable space transport. For my part, I will never give up and I mean never.
Thanks for your hard work and now on to flight four.
--Elon--

The problem is that for several generations, ministers and most people who call themselves Christian, have been worshiping government.
I hear them call C-Span, saying, I am this wonderful Christian and I want politicians to steal from the rich to buy me what I want. They say it kind of differently but that is what they are asking for.
The only solution is to worship God.
More than 40 years ago I was frantic and sick over not having enough money to live on, and I finally turned it over to God, and almost immediately received the solution and have never had that problem since.

Remember the Rosenbergs? Julius and Ethel? They were both hung for stealing atomic secrets from our State department back in the '60s or 70s.
True allies don't steal from their friends. The antichrist governments are not our friends. Just ask Bush, Hagee, and McCain.

This is justified by the courts and the rest of government stating the American citizen returning home has not officially arrived in the US yet. therefor the US government can do whatever it wants in searches, demands, detentions, etc.
This is a lie!!!!
1. If a person is not in the US then the US government has no authority over them. That authority only exists within the US, and the US begins 12 miles out a sea.
2. We have Rights. Among these is the Right to be safe and secure in our person, papers and possessions. Our Rights supersede government, and exist throughout the universe. They do not stop at the border. Furthermore the US government's sole purpose is to protect our Rights.

Mike Monsoor not only swore an Oath to "protect and defend the Constitution" for the united "States from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC," (emphasis added) but he also promised in that Oath that he would "obey orders according to" that "same" Constitution.
Article IV, Section 4, of that Constitution limits the role of the Army and Navy of the united States to protection "against invasion and against domestic violence."
Mike Monsoor left the confines of the United States on a purely offensive war in violation of his Oath.
Mike Monsoor is a traitor to his Oath and our Constitution.
These violations of our liberty by a Federal government that is out of control will continue as long as those who purport to love liberty continue to pay homage to those who enlist in the United States Armed Forces thus enabling the U.S.' current playground bully foreign policy.

I myself cant actually place myself in any political category,I believe in a healthy coexistence of Libertarianism and socalism.I believe coorparations should be given their freedom and people should not all earn the same.The goverment should not be given total control but I also believe in helping people.I am german myself and at the moment there is a coalition of socalist and democrats in charge.Germany has big social programms that are actually helping people and we also have a big economy.I dont think people should die because they cant pay their medical bills and these programms help them but never damage the economy.So I think you shouldnt write off all socalism as being evil because it can exist in a weaker with a free market economy.

Well lets count the interesting items to this story.
One, in Arizona package shipping (presumably FedEx, DHL or UPS) they routinely use police dogs to sniff all your packages for drugs. Those with positive hits are apparently singled out ship to their destination so police disguised as delivery men can deliver the package ... so far unopened and therefor the contents not confirmed (only the dogs "word" on it). There after waiting for someone to pick it up and carry it inside does a county SWAT team kick in the door guns a blazing. Can you say boycott in these hard economic times.
2. Killing the dogs (and stomping the cats) is standard operating procedure for SWAT. When confronted with the obvious...that a toy poodle would pose no threat...the reply changes to they pose a threat by getting in the way and could hurt a cop who stumbled over them. Don't ever let some SWAT puke tell you different. THey like killing your pets and smashing your property as much as roughing you up. The only thing better is killing your kids and getting away with it to have a good laugh around the barbie.
3. The Chief of Police confirms that had they only known it was the mayor's house he would have received special treatment. They only kill your pets. King's men are normally exempt.
4. The cops do this routinely, and the mayor is upset that he got to experience first hand what his constituents (and customers?) get to enjoy.

Excellent, Powell. The problem - lies squarely at the feet of the "preachers."
Isaiah 56:10-12: His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
The people will not be rescued because they followed the voice of these evil deceivers. The people must rise up and take responsibility for their own evil ways.

In case anyone out there cares, here are a couple more things to think about. If it is true that adopting the U.S. CONstitution as your Supreme Law of the land is equal to following after other "gods" - which this writer absolutely believes is the case, then several extreme consequences need to be addressed as the result of such a belief system.
If the "government" that the U.S. CONstitution created was established in defiance of the Kingdom of Christ as I am suggesting, then it would be very easy to identify it based on its fruit. Jesus said, "A good tree CANNOT bring forth bad fruit." So, let's examine the fruit.
The "government" that the U.S. CONstitution created has caused its "citizens" to involve themselves in the following actions that are clear violations of the Scriptures.
A. Labor taxes - We wonder why God apparently has turned against us??? Look at Isaiah 58. The Scriptures clearly show that God does NOT hear the prayers of people who involved themselves in taxing labor. If God did not hear the prayers of people who taxed labor "back then" - what makes us think that God has changed His mind for today? This is what is so amazing. The Scripture CLEARLY tells us that it is the nature of God to HATE LABOR TAXES - yet we think somehow we have evolved into a people that God has changed His nature with because we are something special. Weird.
B. Witholding taxes - James 5 tells us that witholding taxes from the fruit of people's labor makes God so angry He wants to declare war. Yet, we continue on with the practice from generation to generation and expect that God should treat us differently - than what the Scriptures clearly show are contrary to the nature of God.
C. Social security - Mark 5 shows us that the "social security system" of today is just a twist on a practice that has been around for thousands of years. Jesus said "If you involved yourself with a Social Security system - you make God's Word of no effect in your life." Yet, somehow we wonder "What's the problem?" What's causing the problem? What's the solution?" Amazing.
D. The "citizen" of the United States of America is called upon to "swear an oath" at just about every single instance of transaction between the "citizen" and his "government." Yet again, Jesus made it clear in Matthew 6 that HIS people were not to swear oaths - EVER - of any kind. The disciple, James, who walked with Jesus, talked with Jesus, lived with Jesus, saw Jesus murdered, then witnessed His resurrection and subsequent ascension to Heaven - stated in James 5 that of all the things he learned from Jesus - THE MOST IMPORTANT thing - ABOVE ALL - was not to swear oaths. Yet, today, swearing oaths is as common as the daylight and hardly any of the "christians" think a thing about it.
E. Licentiousness - The "citizen" of the U.S. is licentious - a word that is used in the New Testament as lascivious. Most of you have a "license" to do every single thing in your life. Nearly every single thing you do is accompanied by a "license" from your "government." And, hardly anything is ever thought about this evil practice.
F. Debt - The borrower is servant to the lender. No man can serve two masters. Owe no man anything. The followers of Christ are supposedly delivered from death to life - yet 99.9% of the so-called "christians " in the U.S. has a "mortgage." Examine the Latin word - mort = DEATH; gage = pledge. "Mortgage" is a death pledge.
G. Paper money - A false balance is an abomination to the Lord. There are numerous passages of Scripture that show that God's "money" is gold and silver. That doesn't necessarily mean that gold and silver HAS to be your currency - ultimately - fair trading is what the economy of God is concerned with. The criminal "government" established by the CON has caused total fraud and thievery to prevail across the land and the people gladly accept and trade paper "dollars" as "currency." Webster's 1828 Dictionary states that "money" is gold, silver and copper coins." It goes on to say that RUDE nations sometimes use "paper" as money.
H. Usury - The "paper" economy that the CON created "government" has established for its "citizens" is based on a usury / interest system. It is totally evil. It is diametrically opposed to the clear teachings of the Scripture - AND - in Psalm 115 - David - in his despair asked God who would abide in His holy temple? One of the answers that came back was he who putteth NOT his money to usury... But, for today, somehow it's different for today - than it was "back then."
This list could go on and on and on. If anything in this list has merit, why aren't the "churches" talking about it? They have made their choice. Their "god" is the "government" established by the U.S. CON - they have "no king but Caesar." They have traded King Jesus and His ways for a "government" like all the other nations. ALL - WITHOUT EXCEPTION - ALL of the "churches" in this country are mouthpieces for the "government" created by the CON. There are a few "churches" who claim to stand against the "wickedness" of some of the "laws" and the "politicians" - but in reality - they stand against nothing because their "members" still claim "citizenship" with the U.S. All they are doing is asking their "gods" to be "better gods." They are asking their "gods" to make better "laws." They are still the first to leap to their feet when the music is played ("National Anthem") and they are the loudest to speak their "pledge of allegiance (a statement that one has NO OTHER SOVEREIGNS BESIDES THE U.S. "government"), and they are oh so proud to send their boys and girls off to fight treacherous, murderous wars that the criminals that run the "governments" around the world create to promote their evil agendas.
With each of the actions that were listed above, the Scripture clearly states that those who practice such things remove the power of God from their lives. They claim to know God, they claim to worship God, but their actions completely deny Him.
The "preachers" have convinced their "flocks" that they are all under grace and that they can live any way they want to - because God looks the other way today. He treats people today differently than He treated millions of other people who lived at other times during history. Insanity. Yet we sit back and scratch our heads and ask "What's the problem?"

What an absolute outrage! We must not sleep until we have secured the release of these good citizens--- who were trying to defend our border from a known illegal Mexican drug smuggler!
This is the current administrations's attempt to show the world that they are pro-North American Union alliance and will not protect our borders against the invasion of illegal aliens that have overrun us.
