Communist Party wants to link with Democrats and "Moderate Republicans" to defeat GOP in 2014 -- Lesson for the Tea Party.

Verne Strickland USA DOT COM  July 4, 2013

 Here's the game plan of Communist Party USA for 2014. Now you know it. Don't ignore it!

 

Defeating right-wing extremist candidates is the key link in moving the whole chain of struggle forward. It will take an expansive coalition of voters, including independents, centrists and even some moderate Republicans.

Sam Webb, Chair of the Communist Party USA wants to give the GOP a “Licking” in 2014 and its going to work even more closely with the Democrats to do it.

In his latest message to the Party faithful: “Ingredients for a movement that can transform our country,” Webb outlined Communist Party objectives for the near future.
Speaking of the broad “progressive” alliance with the Communist Party at its center Webb said:

Contrary to what some on the left think, the starting point of transformative politics isn’t political desires and wish list, but a sober and concrete assessment of the balance of class and social forces on the ground, not least of which is the political consciousness of the majority of working-class people and what they are ready to fight for.
How do we accelerate this transition from a movement with transformative potential to a movement with transformative power and capacity?
…a movement with transformative hopes must be up to its ears in the struggle for jobs, a higher minimum wage, immigration reform, gun control, infrastructure renewal, abortion rights, protecting the climate, preserving earned-benefit programs, marriage equality, voting rights, saving public education, reversing the sequester, winning a federal budget favoring people’s needs, cutting the military budget, and many more issues at the federal, state and local level.

It should also be an energetic part of the struggle to give the Republican Party a licking in next year’s congressional elections. Defeating right-wing extremist candidates is the key link in moving the whole chain of struggle forward. It will take an expansive coalition of voters, including independents, centrists and even some moderate Republicans.

To some on the far left, even the Democrats seem too moderate, but the Communist Party understands that victory is impossible without using the Dems (at least temporarily) to push their agenda.

...the Democratic Party has been a necessary, albeit inconsistent, component (at this stage of struggle) of the broad “small d” democratic coalition blocking the imposition of some of the worst features of the extreme right’s agenda, not to mention its more ambitious effort to gain unchallenged dominance over the federal government, thereby enabling the right to impose an authoritarian and austere form of capitalism on the American people.

Moreover, since 2008 the Obama administration has advanced many positive reform initiatives which the movement would be foolish not to welcome and support – the latest of which is the administration’s efforts to curb carbon emissions.

  
Finally, the mass base of the Democratic Party includes major sections of the people’s movement and a substantial layer of progressive elected representatives who, while not completely happy with the centrist positions of its top leaders, are still not ready to bid goodbye and join a new political/electoral party.

In these circumstances, it would be foolhardy to refuse in advance to cooperate with the Democratic Party as a whole or sections of it under any conditions. That would be a prescription for marginalization.

This lesson should not be lost on the Tea Party, which should seek to be to the GOP what the Communists are to the Democrats.

The Communists understand that they should not abandon the Democrats to pursue a more pure Marxist-Leninist agenda. Using the Democrats may be frustrating, but it magnifies communist influence exponentially, One day it may be opportune to found a new broad based leftist party – but not now


Likewise the Tea Party should not be abandoning the GOP right now, but should be aggressively and overtly taking it over. The Communist Party, a few thousand strong at most, can effectively dictate terms to the Democrats in many areas of the country. Nationally, Democrat policy is actually now mostly Communist Party policy.

Learn from the enemy my patriotic friends. Don’t marginalize yourself, or your opponents will surely win. Use the GOP to advance YOUR agenda. Success is not guaranteed if you do, but failure is guaranteed if you do not.

And there’s a lot more of you than there is of them.

Never in my 71 years did would I ever believe I would see this. The eyes of All people must be opened. Lest we humble ourselves, and return to God we are going to see more blessings removed from the United States of America…..Land That I Love, and Pray for daily. I heart talk, talk, talk, but see nothing happening, and don’t understand it. Those in higher places must come together for the good of the people who elected them First they turn to God for guidance, and then get a stiff spine, and take a stand for “right”. With God on their side, and the citizens who believes, America can, and will return to what she once was !!! Right now, there is “mass confusion” on every hand. May God have Mercy on America !!! (check out to see what can happen to a country with “mass confusion”.)

GOP Primary Looms in North Carolina Senate Race: Tillis, Brannon Announce Bids

GOP Primary Looms in North Carolina Senate Race: Tillis, Brannon Announce Bids

By Matthew Lowe  Roll Call Staff    July 1, 2013, 5:26 p.m.

Hagan, a first-term senator, ran ahead of President Barack Obama when he won North Carolina in 2008. This cycle, Hagan is one of the most vulnerable senators seeking re-election.

 

Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan is a critical target on the GOP’s road map to capture the Senate in 2014, but Republicans’ first major hurdle in North Carolina could come from within their own ranks.

A primary looms for the national GOP’s top recruit, state Speaker Thom Tillis, as a handful of other Tar Heel conservatives consider bids. The result could hurt the GOP nominee’s chances of ousting Hagan in the general election, even if Tillis eventually wins the nod.

Hagan, a first-term senator, ran ahead of President Barack Obama when he won North Carolina in 2008. But in 2012, Mitt Romney carried the state and Republicans had expanded their grip on the state, including in the Legislature. This cycle, Hagan is one of the most vulnerable senators seeking re-election.

Tillis, who announced his candidacy in late May, already has a significant fundraising lead. But he may struggle to marshal conservative support in his own state, and several local Republicans have expressed interest in running as an alternative to him.

Rev. Mark Harris of Charlotte’s First Baptist Church is considering a bid. He is working with Tom Perdue, former campaign strategist for Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., to gauge support for a campaign.

“This [draft] effort is exploding,” Perdue said. “I’ve never seen one move so fast. People are clamoring for a true social and fiscal conservative.”

Harris has started to hire staff and appears close to making his formal entry into politics.

“This is not a campaign yet, but I’m preparing for him to be in the race,” Perdue added.
Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., is also considering running and recently pushed back her decision time a few weeks, until early July.

“I haven’t quite reached my full decision, but I think I know where I’m leaning,” Ellmers told CQ Roll Call last week.

Rep. Virginia Foxx, a five-term Republican, has said she is considering a Senate bid. Her entry would change the election by pushing Tillis to the right, although Republicans doubt she will run.
“Tillis could probably outspend her, but she could potentially mortally wound him for the general,” one operative said.

State Senate President Phil Berger told Roll Call that he is still seriously considering the primary, but he will wait to formally announce his intentions at the end of the legislative session in July. However, local Republicans do not expect Berger to jeopardize his current leadership position by running.

Greg Brannon, a tea party supporter, was the first to jump into the race and remains the only candidate apart from Tillis to declare his candidacy.

With black violence against white citizens epidemic, young black men should not be profiled, but arrested on sight.

FAMILY PICNIC TURNS TO HORROR THANKS TO BLACK MOB

Woman Pistol Whipped While Trying To Defend Son – Still Pages Of Black Mob Violence Against White’s Goes Unreported By MSM –

Colin Flaherty 6-30-13  

As pundits pondered whether calling George Zimmerman a “white a** cracker” was a racial epithet, black mob violence in other parts of the country proceeded apace last week, almost unnoticed.
In Niagara Falls, a black mob of 20 attacked a mother and her family on a picnic. They hurled racial slurs and told them they did not like their “Puerto Rican (expletive) music.”
The Niagara Gazette described what happened next as a “fight,” although many would call it an assault:
“Her son was punched and kicked by several people and fell to the ground. When her son picked himself up, the woman said a man from the group pulled out a pistol and pointed it in her son’s face. She said someone in the group was yelling, ‘Shoot him … shoot him.’
“The woman said the man with the gun, later identified as Dionte D. Dolson, began working the pistol’s slide as if the pistol misfired or didn’t work properly.
“The woman said she ran to her son as she was in fear for his life and Dolson pistol whipped her twice in the head, causing two knots to her head.”
Just Two people were arrested.
Just a few hours earlier a few hundred miles away in Pittsburgh, a mob of black people “savagely beat” a white teenager, then stole his shoes. All on video. All the while screaming “World Star. World Star, ”apparently a reference to popular hip hop website that often features videos of black-mob violence.
District Judge Jim Motznik promised the local CBS affiliate that this kind of violence was over in his town. He “guaranteed it.” Which is of course the same promise other Pittsburgh authorities made when a mob of black people attacked a Pittsburgh teacher last year. That happened two times, actually, with both incidents caught on video. As well as other episodes of black mob violence involving football players at Pitt. And a good old fashioned race riot at a Pittsburgh high school. On video. A few days before and 2,500 miles away, a black mob attacked a white woman in a busy plaza in downtown Seattle. As a dozens of people looked on, doing nothing, at least three black women repeatedly punched and kicked an unidentified woman in the face. Knocking her down, sending her to the hospital streaming blood from her forehead. While their compatriot caught the action on tape. “It’s unbelievably violent and shocking. We need to find the attackers, they need to be arrested,” said a police spokeswoman to KIRO TV news. A curiously similar incident was also captured on video last year in Seattle. A mob of black people beat a hapless bus rider waiting for her ride, this time in front of curiously detached security guards. In Chicago, this episode of black mob violence even has some local police shaking their heads. In the upscale Lakeview neighborhood, a black mob surrounded and beat two men who had pursued and captured the men who stole their iPhones. While they waited for police, “at one point, between 15 and 20 people surrounded one victim as the two alleged attackers continued to beat him,” said the DNA Info news site. “A witness on his way home from a party stumbled upon the scene.” “He was knocked out, completely,” said the 36-year-old witness. “He was on the ground, right by the alley. One guy hit him in the face, and another guy kicked him. It looked like he was going to die or something.”” Two men were charged with assault and “mob action.” Black mob violence is an increasingly common feature of life in that part of town, say members of the Chicago police department. As is its denial at the highest levels of local government and media. Back in Philadelphia on Tuesday, a mob of black people followed a man onto a bus, beat him, kicked him and stomped on, then ran off. All on video. In Milwaukee, a local TV reporter started off her segment on a recent case of black mob violence by saying “most of the people I talked to in the neighborhood say they hadn’t seen a huge fight. Recently.” It might be a bit of a secret to people outside of Milwaukee, but inside that city, locals know it as a place of frequent and intense racial violence. Many of the attacks are on video and documented in “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.” By Milwaukee standards, this “massive” fight video was tame: Dozens of black people, fighting, creating chaos. No one died. Just a few nights after that, three black women attacked a white female saxophone player at a public place in Milwaukee because they objected to her playing Minnie the Moocher. They said because she was white, they did not want her to play it, reported the local Fox affiliate. Meanwhile, police departments all over the country are getting ready for one of their busiest days of the year for racial violence: The Fourth of July. Last year, more than a dozen cities experienced widespread black mob violence, most after the fireworks were over.
One such place getting ready for the summer is the formerly bucolic Muskegon, Mich. Last Tuesday, according to the Michigan Live website:
“Muskegon Police officers had to use a fogger to disperse a large fight at Fifth Street and Southern Avenue around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25, after a couple of males inside the high school gym had been fighting and were kicked out.”
“Officers have had to break up fights around the facility every night since the program started.
“Police were dispatched to the high school on a call of a fight outside the facility around 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 20. Patrol officers intervened in a potential large fight between a group outside the school, many of them from the Muskegon Heights area.
“When the group left the high school area and headed back toward Muskegon Heights, patrol officers located the group armed with clubs and concrete that police believe would have been used in some sort of altercation if they hadn’t intervened.”
Muskegon Heights is 75 percent black and the per capita income is $11,000. Commenters to local news sites say the people involved in the mob violence are black.
For the rest of the summer, cops are putting miscreants on notice: They are using pepper spray and other mob control devices to root out the “bad apples.”
In Baltimore, police are promising a “dramatic” increase in law enforcement through the Fourth of July because of a “spree of deadly violence.” Some of it connected to black-mob violence, including one incident last week involving 100 black people fighting and creating chaos.
Police called it a “community altercation,” but did not mention race.
Three people were shot. According to the Baltimore Sun, which often runs editorials criticizing any public official if he or she notices the members of the mob are all black, “Police officials vowed to deploy up to three times the number of officers typically on the streets over the weekend, with the city’s patrol forces being joined by officers from the Maryland State Police, the Maryland Transportation Authority and the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office.”
Black mob violence is a regular feature of life at the upscale Inner Harbor during Fourth of July celebrations over the last ten years.

In South Africa Obama Compares Nelson Mandela to George Washington. Easy, Barack.

Verne Strickland USA DOT COM June 30, 2013

I predicted this. It had to happen. The Western press has re-clothed terrorist Nelson Mandela as a benign, cuddly old homebody, while he plied his trade as a murderer and known Communist. So I say: "Easy, Barack. You are on the world stage now. Don't gloss over this man's true character by likening him to an American of the stature of George Washington. This is a new low even for you. But it's helpful again to see you reveal your true colors.

In South Africa Obama Compares Nelson Mandela to George Washington

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, June 29, 2013, 4:15 PM

 

 Barack Obama compared Nelson Mandela to George Washington during his stop in South Africa. Which would make sense except that Nelson Mandela was an America-bashing socialist.

America-basher Nelson Mandela with buddy Fidel Castro.
ABC reported, via Free Republic:

Although President Obama will not get a chance to see Nelson Mandela on his trip to South Africa, he is using his historic visit to pay tribute to the man he calls a hero to the world and will meet today with the Mandela family. At a joint press conference with South African President Jacob Zuma this morning, President Obama spoke extensively about Mandela’s legacy.

“Our thoughts and those of Americans and people all around the world are with Nelson Mandela and his family and all of South Africans,” Obama said. “The struggle here for freedom, Madiba’s moral courage, this country’s historic transition to a free nation has been a personal inspiration to me, an inspiration to the world, and it continues to be.”…
…Later, when asked about his policy toward Africa, Obama again returned to Mandela.
“Mandela shows what was possible when a priority is placed on human dignity, respect for law, that all people are treated equally,” Obama said.

“And what Nelson Mandela also stood for is that the well-being of the country is more important than the interests of any one person,” Obama continued. “George Washington is admired because after two terms he said enough, I’m going back to being a citizen. There were no term limits, but he said I’m a citizen. I served my time. And it’s time for the next person, because that’s what democracy is about. And Mandela similarly was able to recognize that, despite how revered he was, that part of this transition process was greater than one person.”

Politics casts shadow over Mandela as he lies dying . . .

Verne Strickland June 28, 2013

This article is not an entirely sanitized profile of South Africa's first black president. If it were, I wouldn't use it. But during the course of the text, the praise and adulation seem to give way to a more realistic assessment of Nelson Mandela -- without his angel wings. That's the way I see him. The Western press has made a Teflon hero and icon out of a man that had feet of clay all the way up to his hips. He is a known communist, and is branded as a murderer. More details on that in a follow-up feature. Mewanwhile, here's a treatment offered by The Washington Post:

View Photo Gallery — Nelson Mandela remains in hospital: South Africa’s first black president has been undergoing treatment for a lung infection. The 94-year-old is in critical condition, according to the government.

By Sudarsan Raghavan, Friday, June 28, 4:16 PM 

Pretoria, South Africa — Outside his hospital’s green gate, hundreds of youths from the ruling African National Congress, brought here by the party in large buses, dance, sing and chant, “Nelson Mandela, Nelson Mandela.” Many wear the ANC’s green and yellow colors, some on T-shirts emblazoned with the face of South African President Jacob Zuma, who is running for reelection next year.
“There is no born-free without a liberator,” the back of one shirt reads. “Vote ANC 2014.”

In response, opposition leaders expressed skepticism, saying that small arms would not be adequate.

Across South Africa, there is a political dimension to the national grief over Mandela, who remained critically ill but in stable condition Friday, as President Obama landed in the country on the second leg of his Africa visit. At a time when the ANC is facing immense challenges, its efforts to manage Mandela’s possibly last days and hours suggest it is seeking to be seen as the party best able to carry forward the anti-apartheid icon’s ideals and perpetuate his legacy.
In recent days, a revolving door of ANC leaders has visited the Mediclinic Heart Hospital in the administrative capital, Pretoria, often making a point during interviews of mentioning Mandela’s links to the ANC. The party has ordered its followers nationwide to attend group meetings to pray for his recovery, and Zuma has made it a priority to personally inform the nation about every development in his illness.
“There is an umbilical cord between Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress that cannot be broken,” Ace Magashule, the premier of Free State province and a top ANC leader, told a local television station Friday, outside the hospital.
The sharp deterioration in Mandela’s health comes amid significant questions about the ANC and its future after his death. Despite retiring from public life, the 94-year-old former president remains the party’s most beloved figure and its highest moral authority. Meanwhile, the current generation of leaders, including Zuma, has been criticized as elitist and corrupt.
There are also deep divisions inside the party, whose culture and actions have drawn denunciations even from revered stalwarts of the anti-apartheid era. One well-known activist, Mamphela Ramphele, recently launched a political party called Agang that could pose a significant challenge to the ANC in next year’s elections.
“Some ANC leaders want to cling on to brand Mandela, as members are leaving the party,” said William Gumede, a South African political analyst who has written extensively about the ANC. “They say, ‘Stay, this is still the party of Mandela.’ ”
Critics accuse the ANC, as well as other politicians, of exploiting the popular grief over Mandela by claiming him as their own. In an opinion piece in the local Business Day newspaper on Friday titled “Political vultures are circling over Mandela,” analyst Anthony Butler wrote that politicians would try to use “their allegedly close relationships with the great man to their political advantage.”
“Despite their better instincts, ANC professionals may well decide that ‘Mandela’s legacy’ is an inescapable theme for next year’s national and provincial elections,” said Butler, a politics professor at the University of Cape Town.
ANC officials deny that they are politicizing Mandela’s hospitalization, saying their accusers have their own political motives. “We went to the hospital to say ‘Madiba, get well,’ ” said Jackson Mthembu, the party’s national spokesman, using Mandela’s Xhosa clan name. “And we will continue do so. Nothing is going to stop us from going there. He’s our leader. We owe him that.”
Mandela matured politically inside the ANC, which he joined in 1943. In the 1950s, he was the national president of the ANC Youth League and was on the party’s national executive board. But it wasn’t until he was released from prison in 1990, after being incarcerated for 27 years, that Mandela became president of the ANC.
In 1994, after the ANC won South Africa’s first all-race elections, he became the country’s first black president. In 1999, he stepped down from office after one term and retired from public life, although he remained an immensely influential figure.
In recent years, disillusionment with the ANC and its current leadership has grown, despite the party’s political dominance, and it is widely seen as out of touch with South Africa’s impoverished masses. Last year, Zuma battled allegations that he had misused public money to renovate his private home. In April, the ANC came under fire for broadcasting images of Zuma and other senior ANC leaders posing with a lethargic, frail Mandela. They were accused of taking advantage of Mandela for political gain.
In interviews, South Africans said that Mandela is a key reason why they support the ANC, and some expressed concern about the party’s future after he dies.
“The ANC is so messed up right now,” said Vuyokazi Duna, 31, in Mandela’s ancestral village of Qunu. “When he passes on, I don’t know what will happen.”
Outside the hospital Friday, Nonkululeko Ketwa, a government employee, said the uncertainty was reason enough for Mandela to live longer. “We still need him,” she said.

Twitter Account Gets Scrubbed In Zimmerman Case -- Surprise, Surprise!

Deletion spree sanitizes postings of teenage prosecution witness

“This shit right here goin make me smoke I need a drink a Lott.” 

JUNE 26--In a late-night scrubbing spree, dozens of embarrassing and incriminating posts were deleted Tuesday evening from the Twitter account of a Florida woman who has been described as a star government witness in the George Zimmerman murder case, The Smoking Gun has learned.
The sanitizing of Rachel Jeantel’s Twitter account came as the 19-year-old Miami resident prepared to take the stand and testify about a phone call she had with Trayvon Martin just before the unarmed 17-year-old was shot to death by Zimmerman in February 2012.

In relating that conversation, Jeantel has told investigators that a “scared” Martin said he was being followed by an unknown white man who demanded to know what the teen was doing inside the Retreat at Twin Lakes, a gated community in Sanford, Florida. Jeantel contends that she heard Martin ask the man, “Why you following me for?” before she heard someone “bump” the teenager. “Next thing I hear…the phone is shut off,” Jeantel told investigators in an April 2012 interview.
Jeantel’s testimony may allow prosecutors to further portray Zimmerman, a 29-year-old neighborhood watch commander, as Martin’s pursuer, an armed aggressor who profiled the black teen before murdering him with a single gunshot to the chest.
As TSG reported yesterday, Jeantel, pictured above, maintains a Twitter account (@MsRachel_94) to which she has made more than 200 posts over the past five months. Many of the teenager’s tweets referred to drinking, smoking, and getting high. She also made references to Martin’s death, referred to acquaintances as “bitch” and “nigga,” and wrote about having “jackass lawyers on my ass.”
Yesterday afternoon, after TSG sought to contact several of Jeantel’s Twitter followers and Facebook friends, 14 tweets--and 13 linked Twitpic photos--were deleted from her Twitter account (which carries the personal motto “My Character And Action Describe Who I Am”). The removed tweets included references to drinking and a link to a sexually suggestive set of photos. Another killed tweet, from June 23, read “Court nails” and linked to a photo of fingernails (presumably Jeantel’s) with fresh orange polish. Additionally, several Twitpic images of assorted liquor bottles were deleted.
The scrubbing of Jeantel’s Twitter account, however, did not end there.
After 10 PM (Eastern) last night, 43 other tweets were deleted. The postings disappeared about two hours after TSG published a story about Jeantel’s social media musings. A TSG comparison of Jeantel’s sanitized Twitter account with the version from early Tuesday afternoon showed that the number of published tweets plummeted from 202 to 146.
A compilation of the 43 deleted Jeantel tweets can be found on pages beginning here. The 14 tweets deleted yesterday afternoon can be found here.
The material deleted last evening included nearly all remaining references to the underage Jeantel’s partying, including tweets like “When u drinking & smoking u need good music in ur ears hahaha I feel so good on Sunday” and “I need a drink to sleep dis off fuck dis shit boi.”
A quartet of consecutive February 24 tweets was also killed. “Party time let get high,” read the first tweet, which included beer glass emoticons. The messages “Omg everybody high” and “Lol we going to hell for smoke on Sunday I need some more drink” then followed. Jeantel’s final tweet that day was “I hope I dnt hit no one tonight lord plz watch my driving.” Her first February 25 tweet, also deleted, read, “Just got home thank u lord good night.”
Several tweets from February 26--the one-year anniversary of Martin’s death--were also deleted, including one that read, “Omg people calling n praying n shit lol I need a drink smoke and a pray my head killing me right now cannot wait when this day end.” A February 26 message reading “#rip Tray” remains on Jeantel’s Twitter page.
On March 5, it was disclosed that Jeantel was not truthful to investigators last year when she claimed that the reason she did not attend Martin’s funeral was due to a hospitalization. In apparent response to news reports about that lie, Jeantel tweeted, “Jus got home n hear wat was going and I’m angry.” In a follow-up post, she wrote, “remember who cause the funeral to happen keep it 100% Mr.ass hoe damn they p*ssed me off.” Those two tweets were erased last night.
A pair of Jeantel’s deleted April tweets appear to refer to Robert Zimmerman, Jr., George’s older brother and the outspoken Zimmerman family spokesman who recently had to apologize for a pair of his own controversial Twitter posts. In one tweet, Zimmerman juxtaposed a photo of Martin with an image of a Georgia teen recently charged with murdering a 13-month-old boy. The picture of Martin shows him holding up two middle fingers, while the photo of the other teen appears to show him flashing gang signs. “A picture speaks a thousand words. Any questions?" tweeted Zimmerman, who is seen above on CNN's "Piers Morgan Live.".
In an April 4 tweet, Jeantel recounted a tweet she had received from “J” asking her “did you see the bro talking shit bout u.” Her tweet concluded, “oh really I have jackass lawyers on my ass kno “JR” want to up in ok.”
The following day Jeantel tweeted, “JUST FOR ‘JR’,” and included a link to a Twitpic showing someone giving the camera the finger. The image was deleted last night.
A third post seeming to refer to Robert Zimmerman, Jr. appeared on Jeantel’s Twitter page on May 28. That day, Robert appeared at the Sanford courthouse for a hearing in his brother’s case and later conducted a press conference during which he declared his brother’s innocence and called for the withdrawal of second-degree murder charges against his sibling.
“Omg can somebody Robert jr shut the fuck up with his life story,” Jeantel wrote in her May 28 tweet. While that message was not among the 43 tweets removed last night from Jeantel’s Twitter account, it was deleted early this morning. A follow-up tweet, scrubbed last night, reported, “This shit right here goin make me smoke I need a drink a Lott.” (5 pages)

'PRAISE YOU, JESUS!' GOD WALKS WITH HIGH-WIRE ARTIST NIK WALLENDA ACROSS GRAND CANYON

Yea, though I walk high above the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil . . .

By Verne Strickland    June 23, 2013

Millions watched around the world Sunday night as high-wire artist Nick Wallenda attempted a 1,500-foot walk across the Grand Canyon -- one of the Wonders of the World.

The fact that he succeeded -- which seemed uncertain at times -- has transformed Wallenda himself into a global sensation.

A seventh-generation wire-walker, 34-year, Wallenda, successfully walked a two-inch thick cable across the Little Colorado River Gorge near the Grand Canyon. He completed the walk in just under 23 minutes.

His tightrope was stretched 1,500 feet above the gorge floor, and he made the tense 1,400-foot long televised walk without a net or safety harness. At one point, 13 minutes into the walk, he stopped and knelt in an effort to slow the cable's movement.

"Thank you, Jesus, praise your name, my sweet Christ," the 34-year-old father and family breathed into a a live wireless microphone attached to his shirt collar.

Beloved evangelist Billy Graham during his career in Christian ministry has reached millions via television and personal appearances, bringing many thousands of souls to Christ.

But faithful disciple Nick Wallenda probably eclipsed every record for his message of praise and thanksgiving, which continued minute by breathless minute as Wallenda moved carefully across the wire, obviously tiring toward the end, and seemingly making slight missteps on several occasions.

In a very sense, then, this death-defying stroll was as much a victory for Jesus Christ as for the Discovery Channel and live television itself. They made money. Christ won souls.

Commercial religious entertainer Joel Osteen, whom I have never heard utter the Blessed Name of Jesus Christ, was unfortunately chosen to render a prayer of appeal from The Man Upstairs to help Nik Wallender during his dangerous walk.

Osteen really heated up into a froth of faux sincerity and religious piety in a prayer that it seemed would last longer than Wallenda's walk -- but never spoke directly to or about the Lamb of  God, Christ the Righteous. He was spared embarrassment toward the end of his grand exhortation by the network, which mercifully cranked up theme music to obscure how he ended his TV face time.


I don't know what Osteen is, but I know what he isn't -- a true follower of our Lord, who says to us: "He who denies me before the world, him will I likewise deny before my Father Which is in Heaven."

But back to the very popular, brave and sincere Mr. Nik Wallenda, who grew up performing with his family and has dreamed of crossing the Grand Canyon since he was a teenager. Sunday's stunt comes a year after he traversed Niagara Falls earning a seventh Guinness world record.

While we're on this theme, many who might have witnessed that stunning accomplishment may recall the imbroglio which ensued when the network transmitting the live telecast quickly shut off the wire-walker's live microphone as soon as he mentioned the name of Jesus.

We know, of course, that Nik's prayer did not thus get to the vast audience looking in for that feat, but it definitely got to Almighty God, who is not mindful of an audio cut-off switch thrown by some atheist producer.

There is proven peril in the legacy built by the Wallendas. Nik's great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, fell during a performance in Puerto Rico and died at the age of 73. Several other family members, including a cousin and an uncle, have perished while performing wire walking stunts.

How many bottom lines are we left with here?

One is that Nik didn't fall to his death. The second is that this young man of faith doubtless ramped up the spirits of modern Christian disciples. The third is that Nik, as he literally put his life on the line, used this landmark occasion to give glory to God. I'd say those are three major accomplishments for one mortal on one June evening 1,500 feet above the Grand Canyon Floor.
