=91Miracle=92 Marine dies; terribly burned in Iraq.
A Marine sergeant who became a symbol of resilience as he strove to
recover from a roadside bomb blast in Iraq that blanketed 97 percent
of his body with burns has died, the Defense Department said. He was
22.
~~~~~
"Marine Sgt. Merlin German, 22, of New York City, died on April 11 at
Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, from wounds suffered
during combat in Iraq in 2002."
~~~~~~
"What a tragedy...the personal stories and deaths that occur due to
this occupation in Iraq do not get covered enough. Why are we being
****elded from the truth and horror of whats going on...Americans are
giving their lives and the top stories circulating are generally about
trashy "stars" and their poor behaviour. We have become such an un-
involved country...it doesnt matter until it affects us personally...a
tragedy in and of itself. My heart goes out to the families of all who
have paid the ultimate price and for all who have been given a life
sentence of enduring what this "war" has done to them... "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Rest in peace brother! Your fellow Marines will never forget your
sacrifice to this country and for the people of Iraq. Semper Fi, devil
dog!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Good thing the mission has been accomplished. "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"more blood on bush / cheney hands"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Poor guy - he died for nothing.
Americans know that Bush is jerking off for the oil boys in Iraq.
This soldier was a proud American. Now he is just a bag of dust."

Re****ts have begun to circulate, indicating that information may have
been available prior to September 11th, which, if had been pursued, or
simply publicized, would have revealed, a possible future to be
avoided. Recently, I have heard re****ts of elected representatives
asking questions relating to said re****ts, such as, why has it taken
so long for us to become aware of the possible fact that some may have
foreseen such an occurrence, yet, their insight was not given the
appropriate recognition? Such a question, would seem to indicate,
these picked deputies are not aware of the fact that since September
many writers employed by the media have lost their amplified voice
because they would not rally to the call of the present
administration. Maybe these delegates figured such a question would
cause many to overlook the effects of this new separation between the
Free Press and the media? Or should I say, the full replacement of the
Free Press by the administration controlled media?
Am I to believe that they have not heard the complaints of writers who
say editorials are coming from home offices, with orders that
conflicting editorials are not to be published?

Even though he had
suffered unspeakable pain and suffering, he started a foundation to
help other burn victims.
I was very sad back when Merlin lost his brave battle for his life.
Even so, his foundation lives on in the selfless effort to help others
who have suffered burns. I find it difficult to put into words how
disgusting I find it that our resident brain damaged hippie sees fit
to try to make some warped political message out of Merlin's suffering
and death. Alan Jackson has an extremely poor sense of what is right
and wrong and it is obvious to all that he is mentally disturbed. As
opposed to the handicaps that Merlin had to deal with, Alan Jackson's
mental handicaps are self inflicted from years of drug abuse. What a
sick human being Alan is for trying to make some warped political
statement at the expense of one of our finest soldiers who endured
more than any person should have to endure. Shame on you Alan
Jackson!! You are a very sick and pathetic individual who deserves
nobody's pity or attention. Go crawl back into the cave from whence
you emerged and finish the job of destroying what little brain you
have left with your drugs. You can take your totally irrelevant to the
subject and misinterpreted Bible quotes you inappropriately post with
you!

someone ignorant but fail to be able to even express your feelings
without making spelling and grammatical errors in the most basic
sentence structures. You are not only rude, insensitive, but a
complete fool!
If you are intelligent enough to engage me in a simple debate, please
have the common courtesy to use proper grammar and English as to
enable me to at least be able to attempt to decipher what you intend
to try to relate to me. If you have not completely cooked your feeble
mind with drugs, there are wonderful tools available to you such as
dictionaries and grammatical help online. It may come as a shock to
you, but everybody laughs at you because you are only able to cut and
paste nonsense that is not even pertinent to the topic being
discussed.
This especially is true with your wondering biblical quotes that you
obviously are not intelligent enough to even begin to comprehend. Wake
up for a day or two you worthless doper and look at the gibberish you
type and cut and paste. Do you actually believe anyone is even
remotely fooled into thinking you have any comprehension of what you
paste on all of these chat sites? I=92ll let you in on something;
everyone believes that you are in need of professional help and the
only debate is whether it would do any good or not. A group of monkeys
pounding away at keyboards in a lab have a better chance of making
sense and fooling someone into believing that they are aware of their
surroundings than you.
Worse yet is your leftover loathing of the military from the early
days of when you began to destroy your brain with chemicals in the
60=92s. Nam is over. Most people have moved on and understand that fact.
It is no longer socially acceptable to even "cyber spit" on the men
and women who serve in our armed forces. If you have even one synapse
firing in your brain I=92d like to hear how your bull**** about magnets
has served our wounded vets more than my small donation to Sgt.
German=92s foundation. As opposed to you, I care about our troops. I
realize what
I gave will not cure the severe burns suffered by our troops, but it
sure will do more than your delusional bull**** you spew about
magnets! If you care about anything other than yourself, get off your
dead ass and do something constructive!!
You don=92t like my donation to Sgt. German=92s foundation? I challenge
you to do something better. If you can=92t, you=92re nothing but the
worthless piece of garbage everyone thinks you are. What have you done
to improve even one person=92s life?! You=92re a selfish and worthless
excuse of a human being who doesn=92t even have the I.Q. of a parrot;
which is obvious an animal to which you aspire with your constant cut

You being tired, seems off topic, to me. But I learn from what others
share. And I think it's im****tant to let them. Not stop them, with
anything other than education. You may have other reasons.
I was thinking people do have the chance to paricpate or ignore here.
I think any name calling may have been keen-jerk, and will not
continue.
But your call if you think what I share is to meaty for fokes here.

The interpretation recovered from the remains of past South American
attempts at civilization, tells us that the culture had developed a
society which sacrificed its s****ts heroes by beheading them during
religious rituals. Those who had become popular among the citizens by
way of their efforts displayed during s****ting events, appear to have
willingly submitted to their own execution during temple ceremonies.
The politically correct version of what was taking place, explained
how these s****ts heroes were actually being given safe passage to a
glorified "next life". Was it really a method by which the politicians
dealt with competition? Do you find it strange, that in the records,
today, in the USA, our government affords this same honor to the
convicted murderers/killers, and also to many others?
The man introduced himself as an attorney. I said, isn't that just
another name for lawyer? He pointed out, that nowadays, people don't
seem to like the term "lawyer". I mentioned that it was because
they're all just ambulance chasers, and that it's hard to find a good
constitutional lawyer. His response was, that they cost a lot of
money. The conversation made me wonder what kind of lawyers were being
appointed to the poor in court, nowadays.
After explaining the theory of Magnetrition, to a point, the guy spoke
up, saying, you're not going to convince me that smoking is good. I
asked him if he would debate it. He said no. I then pointed out, that
would be the reason.
Living in their prison, with their guns to your head, under the logic
of the lie, can you feel the strings, Pinocchio?
One group went to the US, took control of airplanes, crashed them into
buildings, killed many people including their own, in an effort to
make a statement, in self-defense.
One group went to Iraq, to control everything, bombed many buildings,
killed many people including their own, in an effort to make a
statement, in self-defense.
Cannot the same reasoning used to defend the act of shooting to death
the occupants of a van full of women and children, be used to justify
the events of 911? Will those who have killed, return home to become
heroes, cops, and politicians? Will those who disagree and see things
differently, find politics attempting to make their life difficult,
until they agree, until they see things as the politician does?
Both these groups have put forth great effort to make themselves known
to me. Each group tells me they will win the battle. Each group asks
if I will be with them, or against them? Each group has a different
road map that they follow. Each group takes the path leading to death
for many. Presented in a context recognizable, like a football game,
each group asks if I will choose from the two sides, of the same coin.
Is there another option/road map, showing a path less followed? What
about the map that shows the path that Jesus took? What about the road
leading to the "Cross"?
Self sacrifice, where reading becomes remembering.
As you envision Jesus staggering through the streets under the weight
of his cross, being whipped and spat upon, hold your spittle for a
moment, consider what you're witnessing. Is this a man before you,
putting forth grade effort toward his own demise? Or is this a man
that has chosen not to embrace killing and murdering, and is putting
forth grade effort toward exposing those who would? Have you become
like Peter in the garden, when the killers came to get Jesus? Have you
chosen a side that leads to killing, to death for many? Can Jesus
correct your action? Will you stay your sword because the truth has
asked you to? Can you see that there is an option offered that does
not embrace killing and murder? Can you see the path that war does not
offer, which leads to a better life, for the following generations?
As you envision Jesus repairing the ear of the soldier who had come
with an armed gang to take Jesus prisoner while he was away from
public observance, stay your sword for a moment and consider what
you're witnessing. Is this a man who would be "with" the actions of
the present US administration? Or would he rebuke them for the same
reasoning he did Peter? Did Peter's knee-jerk reaction show that he
was no more ready to fill a position of leader****p than those with the
present administration?
Does the "just following orders" mentality of a soldier, lack the free
speech, therefore the free thought necessary to recognize that his
actions lead away from civilization, and into a world of death and
destruction,? Without free speech in his unit/community, what is a
soldier's vote worth? Is the road map that the present administration
suggests we follow the same one Nazi Germany used? Is it a road that
leads to the elite, (in the public eye), appearing to live high on the
hog, for a while, off the robbery and rape of the common man, (off-
camera)?
Are true Christians, those who would follow Jesus rather than Peter,
being persecuted with politically guided economic and military
reprisals today, because they will not join with and sanction the
contrary option offered by those with the present administration? Is
the present administration using the sword, because those "with" them
do not have the understanding of the word?
Luke 24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age,
even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern
both good and evil.

Husbandry is the art of maintaining healthy life. Animal husbandry is
the art of farming. Men that become known for being a great artist at
husbandry, become so do to their recognition and implementation of
rules which promote good health. After many generations of trial and
error, the model of the family farm arose, the true American Dream.
Is the cor****ate farm modeled on these time honored rules? Does the
health of the life they attempt to manage show the effects of trying
to cut corners for monetary/immediate profit? Cor****ate farming has
reasons for wanting to overlook the rules and do things differently,
but the rules of farming will not be mocked, by true animal husbandry.
And a greedy attempt at animal husbandry will always show itself as
sickness and death, or be hidden by political maneuvering and cover-
up.
The rules of the U.S. Constitution, being followed, are designed to
lead all people's along the path of peace. Following rulers leads to
the opposite.
To the many that seem to be having difficulty discussing the results
of America's last visit to the voting booth, to the many wondering why
America chose to continue on a path of death and destruction, do you
forget, that Hitler and Saddam were elected also, in elections deemed
fair and honest, by the media they had gained political control over?
How many people working in the government, in the media, and in the
country at large, lost their jobs/positions because they were not
"with" the war party. How many quit, felt they should flee association
with those increasing the ranks of their war party with false
information, in America, England, and elsewhere?
It's kind of hard not to get elected when you control the media, isn't
it?
Would the media then re****t to you that the best among them had been
driven out by injustice, and that only propaganda remains? In order to
make it appear that their countries have free elections, have
dictators orchestrated a controlled opposition? Can, and have, such
orchestrated elections, fooled many people? Like with Enron, 911
showed insufficient attempt at leader****p. In both situations, new
leader****p was required in the hope of making-up for past mistakes.
The latter had the choice of admitting the results of their leader****p
and stepping down, or illogically going to war in an effort to gain
the control necessary to keep people misinformed.
This would be hard to do without control over the media/free speech,
but while at war, few can speak against the ruling party and live.
While at war, earplugs are issued, and people noticed being "out of
step" become the enemies of "the war party". If America can be made to
attack others under false pretenses, another four years should be
easy, to be made look close.
Like with Saturday morning wrestling, are you fooling yourself, by not
studying events close enough to noticed they are planned/orchestrated
in the hope of keeping control over you? By being a respecter of
persons, are you now found on the road to hell, the wrong road?
What makes people choose war rather than peace, death rather than
life? Isn't it always because truth and reason did not get a fair
hearing?
Matthew 27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude
that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
The uninformed person is a dark world unto himself. The penetrating
intelligence heads off cunning with close observation, ambushes it
with caution, understands the opposite of what cunning wanted it to
understand, and immediately identifies false intentions.
