Dear Friends

I’m writing today about a great national security threat to our children, families and nation.  This threat includes:  Human trafficking, child abduction/exploitation and now the drug cartels.

This is a non partisan non political issue that affects all Americans.

Human trafficking is the second biggest illegal money maker in the world behind illegal drugs.   Cartels have entered the human trafficking business.

There are many elements involved in the exploitation of women and children.  Some include pornography, the sexualization of the culture and more.

Child prostitution is rampant in the United States.  Some put the numbers of child prostitutes from 100,000 and much higher.  Child missing person reports  in the U.S. ranges up to 1,000,000 annually. 

We are all obliged to be involved as part of the solution.

We produce the Preventing Abuse Conferences to help educate and inspire people to be involved in the solution.

Some of Obama’s favorite words are “fair share”.  Karl Marx founder of Socialist Communism believed the same thing i.e. “each to work according to their ability and receive according to their need.”  As Obama said to “Plumber Joe”, he wanted to spread the wealth. In other words everyone would work and receive their “fair share”. Read the rest of this entry »

    Foster Freiss, world renown philanthropist, recently poured fire on the issue of contraception and moral issues.  Namely, that moral modesty is the 100% effective means to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
 
 Many in the media and political detractors miss the entire point of Foster Freiss comments about the “Bayer Aspirin” and contraception.  He used satire and humor to make the point that over time the sexual mores of the nation have disintegrated to the danger and harm of the nation. 
 
    The leftist media and pundits’ hypocritical criticism of Foster Freiss remind me of Jesus words to the hypocrite Pharisees.
  
                    “You blind hypocrites. You strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.”
 
                                                                                   Matthew 23:24
 
 
    What the leftist news media edited just prior to his “contraception remedy” was his pointed truth that the real focus should be on the economy, infringement on constitutional rights, etc. .   
 
    Freiss simply used humor in a similar way that the famed satirist Will Rogers did.  Thus, Freiss wisely points to a tongue in cheek  practice of the “Bayer aspirin between the knees” of women.  
 
    Say what they want but the truth is that Freiss’ remedy would prevent over 1.5 million abortions performed every year.  Freiss “remedy” would prevent the vast number of out of wedlock births.
                
         that number is above 40 percent for the overall population and even higher
        among Hispanics and African Americans (50 and 70
         percent,     respectively).                                                                                                              
                                                                      Heritage Foundation
 
    Children born to unwed mothers are usually economically disadvantage.  These children become a high risk of victimization, child prostitution, and subject to living on welfare and growing up without a father setting the stage for a dysfunctional upbringing.
 
        Seriously, Foster Freiss was absolutely correct in his premise that moral chastity is the safest and 100% effective to prevent unwanted child birth and sexually transmitted disease as well as over 1.5 million abortions.
 
        In light of the shallow perceptions of the politically and morally left, Mr. Freiss’ quip regarding the “aspirin solution” follows the biblical admonition of Proverbs 26:5.
 
                        Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
                                        
                                                                Proverbs 26:5
 
    If only other political and religious leaders would take this position our nation would be better for it and children would have the benefit of a father and mother.

Throughout his years as President Ronald Reagan warned against government encroachment through socialism and through a government controlled health care.  He also spoke strongly about relying on God for our survival.

Below are excerpts from William Federer’s American Minute highlighting some of President Reagan’s speeches.
           

            Ronald Reagan stated at St. John’s University in New York, March 28, 1985:
“Government that is big enough to give you everything you want is more likely to simply take everything you’ve got.”

A Christmas Blessing

from your friends at the

Cedars Cultural and Educational Foundation
 

Several years ago there was a man about to read his Bible.  The Lord suddenly commanded him to read the Christmas story in Luke 2:1-7.

 “And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed…And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.  And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David) to be taxed with Mary his  wife, being great with child.  And so it was that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered and she brought forth her firstborn son…”

 This edict caused the family to go to Bethlehem thus fulfilling the prophecy of Micah 5:2:

 “and thou Bethlehem Ephratah though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”

 

Then the Lord asked the gentleman“How can you apply this Scripture to your personal life?”

He replied:  ”Well it shows that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Micah 5:2 that the Messiah would come from Bethlehem”

The Lord responded:  “Yes but how can you take this Scripture and apply it to your personal life today?”

After thinking for a while the man said:  “Lord, I don’t just don’t know.”

 God spoke:  “When Caesar moved the entire empire I was the one who made him do it (upon hearing this the gentleman recalled the words in the Book of Daniel saying that God reigns in the affairs of man.  In Proverbs 21 Solomon said “the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord”. 

God continued:  Caesar had no desire to be obedient to Me.  In fact Caesar considered himself to be god.  But I the Lord moved him to move the empire.

The Lord continued:  Why did I do such a thing?  Why didn’t I just tell Joseph to take Mary to Bethlehem in order to fulfill the prophecy?  A prophecy to the “smallest of Judah”. 

After all, I spoke to him to take Mary to be his wife.  I spoke to him to go to Egypt.  Why would I move an entire empire to fulfill one prophecy to such a seemingly insignificant village?

The gentleman said:   Please speak on I’m listening. 

Then the profound blessing of God’s love and wisdom came forth.

God said:  I moved an entire empire to fulfill one prophecy to the least of the thousands of Judah.  How much more will I move heaven and earth to fulfill one promise to those for whom I was crucified?

Human Trafficking, Child Protection, Internet Safety,

and Drug Cartels.                  

Dear Friends,

            Nearly 1,000,000 children reported missing in America.  Hundreds of thousands of child prostitutes in America.  Extremists use pornography for funding and message encryption..   Drug Cartels are in America.  Sexualization of the culture is fueling the demand for sex trafficking.  The problem is great. There is hope.

The Hope:  About a month ago, I received a telephone call from a professor at an Eastern University seeking help regarding her little four year old child.  During the conversation she shared that her Christian friends were praying for her, yet she wasn’t a Christian.  I shared my testimony.  I asked if there was any reason for her not to accept Jesus as her Savior?  She said “no” and so she did.

            “All the hope I have of rescuing my daughter I have because of people I saw on your conference site and I reached out to them.

            If there is any hope of saving…my 4 year old daughter …, I owe it to you.   God bless”                                                                                                                                                                             Email from L.H.  11-5-11
Conference Scope  During the last several years we have produced eight national/ international Preventing Abuse Conferences addressing human trafficking, child abduction, Internet safety and the drug cartels.

  

                                                            The Soldier Testimony: 

 It never ceases to amaze me to hear great stories of the impact of our conferences.  Just a few days ago I was speaking with a friend who attended one of our conferences.  Thereafter she shared about it with her son. 
            He was so motivated that he joined the military and spec. operations.  Upon completion of duty, he wants to do rescues of human trafficking victims.

                                             The Incredible Rescue: 

At one conference a man asked speaker Noreen Gosch if she could help find his daughter who was being trafficked.  She said “yes”.  A few months later she received an email from him saying

 “I got my daughter…don’t ever stop talking about human trafficking”.   Dear friends, it was the conference that brought Noreen and the father together and resulted in the rescue of the daughter.

  “I greatly support [Tony’s] work in public policy and the Preventing Abuse Conferences helping protect women and children, men, families and nations.”                                                                        

                                                                                   Pat Boone, entertainer

Scope of the Conferences:  In the last several months we have incorporated the reality of cartels operating in America, the national threat and more.  Cartels are using human trafficking, family abduction in the United States, occult and satanic operation for protection and even human sacrifice.  Illegal drugs use in America accelerates to nearly 50% of all illegal drug consumption.

Dear Friends,

During the last several years we have produced eight national and international conferences entitled the PreventingAbuseConferences dealing with human trafficking, child abduction, Internet safety and the drugcartels.

Scope of the Conferences:  In the last several months we have incorporated the reality of cartels operating in America, the national threat and more.  Cartels are using human trafficking, family abduction in the United States, occult and satanic operation for protection and even human sacrifice.  Illegal drugs use in America accelerates to nearly 50% of all illegaldrug consumption globally.

Conference Accomplishments:  Our conferences have accomplished a myriad of success including the formulation of trafficking task forces to the rescue of children and much more.

The Soldier:  It never ceases to amaze me to hear great stories of the impact of our conferences.

Just a few days ago I was speaking with a friend who attended one of our conferences.  Thereafter she shared about it with her son. 

He was so motivated by the conference that he joined the military and spec. operations.  Upon completion of duty, he wants to do rescues of human trafficking victims.

I never would have guessed.

Dear friends,

In recent days we’ve seen massive demonstrations against “Wall Street”

The demonstrators direct their anger at the economy and the perceived cuprit of Wall Street and capitalism.

Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Who/What is to Blame:
To blame capitalism for the current economic crisis is like blaming a car for adrunkdriving accident.  Adrunkdriving accident is caused by the driver.  So is the current economic crisis caused by those who have abbrogated their moral values putting the profit motive above moral standards of right and wrong.  This ignores the root of the problem which is a moral disintegration.
