Roswell, More Than a City

Yes, Roswell is a city New Mexico, but it’s known for so much more. The United States Army Air Forces was a land based aerial warfare service component of the U.S. Army, and it was created in 1941.

In 1947, a United States Army Air Forces balloon crashed at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. The initial investigation conducted by the United States Military, revealed nothing more than a weather balloon, however, outside interests in the crashed “flying disc” remained steady in the years to come.

Somewhere along the line, however, the original changed, but that wasn’t because our government put in extra effort to find new discoveries.

UFO researchers, or ufologists, who were civilian investigators, pushed and demanded and the Roswell story gained tremendous momentum. In the late 1970’s, it blew up!

New claims reported by UFO researchers revealed more than one alien spacecraft “crash-landed,” and not only that, they claimed extraterrestrial occupants had been recovered by the military.

Yes, ufologists were claiming a cover-up, but were their discoveries factual, or were they looking for a little attention? That was the question, and eventually, it was stated that Roswell had officially been debunked. Well, until, documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act led researchers to conclude that at least one alien spacecraft had crashed in Roswell in 1947.

Over the years, Roswell remained a hot topic and of course, it inspired numerous movies, books, and debates. According to some credible people, the story of Roswell would remain alive forever and just keep playing out again and again and again. That’s great for us! We’ll always have something to talk about.

In August, 57 years ago

“I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Today is August 1st, and it was during the wonderful month of August, fifty-seven years ago, that Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington D.C. The speech came at the end of a march on the capital that included two-hundred and fifty thousand black and white Americans.

In June, 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed and signed into law by Lyndon Johnson. In October of the same year, King Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

I always thought it was interesting how slaves were freed in America some time after the Civil War, and the issues concerning civil rights didn’t get resolved until almost one-hundred years later in the 1960’s, but to my surprise, I just discovered there was a Civil Rights Act passed then too, it was called the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The Act of 1866 denied the states the power to restrict the rights of free slaves. The bill was vetoed by another Johnson, but Republicans had the votes to override the veto.

Interesting and confusing all at the same time! During the 1960’s it was the Civil Rights Act and Lyndon Johnson, and in the 1860’s it was the Civil Rights Act and Andrew Johnson.

Same Act, same decade, different Johnson.

I hope y’all are doing well and staying healthy. Thank you so much for reading and following along. Have a wonderful Saturday night, and a blessed day tomorrow.

♌ Happy birthday to all you Leos out there!

Do You Remember Craigslist?

There was a time when Craigslist had the reputation for being one of the more reliable and heavily depended on websites for all your needs. It kind of took the place of the want-ads section in your Sunday newspaper.

Recently, I’ve been going back to Craigslist for things like room and apartment rentals and jobs, but it’s not the site I remember fifteen years ago. What happened?

On several occasions, people did follow up and respond to me, but their responses were as follows, “That room you were asking about, where’d you see it? That room was rented weeks ago, I didn’t even know it was still showing”

The same thing happened with apartments, and forget about dating. Dating and meeting new people was one of the best features Craigslist had to offer, but they did away with it completely. The only thing that’s really left is Missed Connections, but there’s no guarantee the person you’re trying to reach will even see what you’re writing-it’s basically a shot in the dark.

I’m not going to write an entire article about the deterioration of Craigslist over the years, I think you understand what I’m saying, and if you use the site yourself, then I’m sure you have your opinions, but instead, I’d like to ask Craigslist to come back.

Craigslist, so many people used your site and they loved it. I don’t know what caused the changes over the years, but if you could get yourself back to old form that would be great!

“In God We Trust”

How many times have you looked at the back of a bill, and wondered to yourself, “Why does it say, In God We Trust, on the back of our money?” Why do we even care at all? Well, when something doesn’t make sense to us, we question it, and what makes this so confusing is actually another saying that claims money is the root to all evil.

In God We Trust on the $5.

So then, we’re confronted with this perplexing question, “If money is the root of all evil, than why does it say In God We Trust on the back of our money?” After all, we do associate money with evil, hell, and the devil. What’s going on? In February, 1862, the United States Congress passed the Legal Tender Act to help finance the Civil War, and it was at that time, under the Legal Tender Act, the motto was added to money. Interesting right?

In God We Trust on the backside of the $1 bill as seen with the pyramid and the All-Seeing Eye.

I’m going out on a limb here, and I’m going to suggest all the questions we have today, and all the mysteries surrounding the motto and the money stem from Theodore Roosevelt, one of the most religiously moral and Christian-minded presidents this country has ever seen. Roosevelt was a constitutional conservative, and he not only believed putting God on money was sacrilege, but he also believed the motto was unconstitutional because it established a religion, which opposed the First Amendment.

When you take into consideration where we’re at today with digital currency, there’s no doubt about the amazing history American money has!

Cattitude 2, Donahue Goes to New Orleans

Don was getting lonely. He was aggravated and upset, and despite what he was trying to do, the reality was, his life was passing him by. Goddoo was an older cat in the neighborhood, and felt responsible for Don’s well being. Goddoo convinced Donahue to go to New Orleans with him, and he promised a time so good, Don was sure to get over his bitterness.

So here they were, two cats hanging out in Kansas now making their way over to the Missouri River. Goddoo works in mysterious ways, he and Don were floating along in a tube someone left on the river bank, and before the day’s end, they jumped ship onto a steamboat that was passing by.

As the steamboat came to its trails end, Don and Goddoo hopped off and headed into town for some good old fun. They had a wild evening. New Orleans was filled with lady cats and cat ladies looking for party beads, and Don met himself a beautiful short hair kitty. He called her Baby Magic, and she was into all types of voodoo. Baby magic was exotic with mixed ancestry, and she loved Don.

Once Goddoo saw Donahue and Baby Magic getting along, he slipped away and into the dark night for some fun of his own. As it turned out, Baby Magic was exactly what Don needed. She put a good spell on him to reverse all his troubles, and in the morning, he was a new man.

Norma McCorvey

Who the heck is Norma McCorvey? She was a woman who lived in Texas, and out of her desire to protect her identity, was called Jane Roe. Is this starting to sound familiar? If I said Roe v. Wade, you’d probably say, “Hmm, that sounds familiar.” Well, Norma McCorvey was Jane Roe. In the early seventies she became pregnant and desired an abortion, but legally she couldn’t obtain one in the state of Texas.

Without a choice, she gave birth, and eventually put her child up for adoption. Then, she brought a law suit against Dallas County District Attorney, Henry Wade, and there you have it. Roe v. Wade is a landmark case, and there’s no other issue in modern America that’s as emotionally and politically charged as abortion rights. Of course, this case made it to the Supreme Court, and most Americans believed abortion was a matter of private choice-

a decision fit for a woman to make, but they received harsh push back from conservatives. The conservatives “pro-life” movement gained strength by the time the 1980’s came around. In 1998, Norma McCorvey converted to Christianity, and Henry Wade died in 2001. Many people don’t know this, but Henry Wade, the prosecutor sued in this case, prosecuted Jack Ruby, the man known for killing Lee Harvey Oswald.

Back in 1953

An armistice is an agreement made by opposing forcing during a war. Basically, an armistice is a truce. Why is that important?

We should know our history, we should embrace it, we should learn from it, and then, we should move forward. A wise person once said, “If we don’t remember our history, we’re doomed to repeat it.” I don’t know who that person was, but I conquer.

On July 27, back in 1953, and armistice was signed in Panmunjom, which is now located in Kaesong-a province in North Korea. The armistice put an end to the fighting in Korea, and the war ended and began in the same place, the 38th parallel.

Book Analysis, “Lives Of The Master”

I don’t know what kind of books you’re all into, everyone has their own favorite genres of books, but if you’re into reincarnation as a topic, and you don’t mind reading a different variation about the life of Jesus, than I’d like to recommend Lives Of The Master.

I’m trying think of the best way of explaining what this book is about without losing you because it can be complicated. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the psychic Edgar Cayce, but this book is based off his readings. Cayce was known for his amazing ability to preform psychic readings and transfer divine information while in trance or under hypnosis.

Lives Of The Master, written by Glen Sanderfur, is dedicated to Jesus Christ as Jesus is recognized as just one of many incarnations, who throughout time, hosted the “master soul.” This book isn’t so much about the life of Jesus specifically, but rather the soul. Chapter one discusses Edgar Cayce, which of course is super important because the reader needs the background information concerning who he is, what he does, and how he does it.

Understand, the information Cayce gives us is psychically channeled so you won’t find it anywhere else, and not only that, it sheds some light on topics we, in a reality, don’t know much about. Chapter two is titled, Story of the Master, and it talks about the soul as an entity and God’s plans for creation, which ultimately, involve the Master Soul.

To make this easy to understand, the Master Soul, is a light body that is said to have existed with God, in spirit. In a sense it’s God’s “right hand man” who aided in the creation of humans and the world we live in. When God created humanity, he gave a little piece of himself to his creation so that humanity would be a reflection of him. God also gave his creation free will, and humans were free to make their own choices and do as they pleased, even if God didn’t agree.

Over time, these souls became encased in their human body hosts. At one time, the souls were able to “travel” between the spirit world and the earthly plane, but when the got stuck in their bodies, they lost that ability. The only way out was death, but even then there was no guarantee they’d find their way back to the Father because they were lost.

The Master Soul begged God for his permission to return to earth, take on human form, and help led the lost flock back home. Over time The Soul has incarnated as Adam, Enoch, Hermes, Melchizedek, Joseph, Joshua, Zend, and Jesus, but there have been many others. All of them as individuals have woken up to their purpose in aiding humanity.

The book is awesome. It’s called Lives Of The Master, it was written by Glenn Sanderfur, and I recommend it-totally.

Have a wonderful evening everyone!
