Cancelled Flight - Please read-Very Important

There have been several musl im incidents that have been 'hushed' especially during pre-election days. Don't think its gonna get any better. This is another example of how the media is not covering news that it should be re



Cancelled Flight- please read!!

Please read entire story, we should be very, very scared about this!

And to think that Fox News was the only channel that reported this. They may be "politically incorrect", but at least they had the "balls" to report it.

In my opinion, the Muslims are all getting very brave now. Read Tedd Petruna's story below. Can you imagine, our own news media now are so politically correct that they are afraid to report that these were all Muslims?

Unbelievable. Thank God for people like Tedd Petruna.

Tedd Petruna is a diver at the NBL (Neutral Buoyancy Lab) facility at NASA Houston . Tedd happened to be on the AirTran Flight 297, from Atlanta to Houston . Here's his report :

"One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father. On Tuesday, the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb about where an Air Tran flight was canceled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before take- off.. The story was only on Fox News. That was NOT what really happened.

I was seated in 1st class coming home. Eleven Muslim men got on the plane in full Muslim attire. Two of them sat in 1st class and the rest seated themselves throughout the plane, in coach class, all the way to the back. As the plane taxied out to the runway, the stewardesses gave the safety spiel that we are all so familiar with.

At that time, one of the men in 1st class, got on his cell and called one of his companions back in coach. He proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very, very aggressively. This activity took the 1st stewardess out of action for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at that time. He ignored her as if she were not there. The man, who answered the phone back in the coach section, did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. Further back in the plane, at the same time, two younger Muslims, one in the back on the aisle, and one sitting in front of him by the window, began to show footage of a porno video they had taped the night before. They were very loud about it.

The 3rd stewardess informed the two men that they were not to have any electronic devices on at this time. One of the men said "shut up infidel dog!"

The stewardess attempted to take the camcorder and the Muslim began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all eleven of the men got up and started to walk throughout the cabin. I guess that because of the noise, the flight crew must have decided that there was something amiss and changed the plane's directions to head back to the terminal.

The commotion and noise was reaching a feverish pitch, and at this point I had had enough! I got up and started towards the back of 1st class when I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size, say, "I got your back." Then I grabbed the man, who had been on the cell phone, by the arm and said, "You WILL sit down in your seat or you WILL be thrown from this plane!" As I "led" him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed him back to his seat. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, "You WILL do the same!"

He protested loudly, but my adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go also. Just as I escorted him forward, the plane stopped, the doors opened and three TSA agents and four police officers entered the cabin. Myself and my new Texas friend were told to cease and desist for they had the situation under control.

I was quite happy to oblige, actually. There was still some sort of commotion in the back, but within moments, all eleven Muslim men were escorted off the plane. The TSA agents then had their luggage unloaded. We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happened.

Then suddenly, the door opened again and in walked all eleven Muslim men! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic, (the only way I can describe it) and they were reseated. The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw the men, she was having NONE of it! Since I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agents that there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with the Muslim men. The agent told her that they had searched the men and were going through their luggage with a fine tooth comb. However, nothing had been found and that the men were allowed to proceed on to Houston .

The captain and co-captain came out of the cockpit and told the agent, "We and our crew will not fly this plane!" After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. Five minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on. Again, this was where I had had enough! I got up and asked the TSA agent,"What the hell is going on?

I was told to take my seat. The airlines and TSA were sorry for the delay and we would be home shortly. I said, "I'm getting off this plane". The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. Now I'm really mad! I said, "I am a grown man who bought this ticket, whose time is mine, with a family at home, and I am going through that door, or I'm going through that door with you under my arm, but I AM going through that door!"

And then I heard a voice behind me say, "So am I!" Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same thing. Within two minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met by more TSA agents, who asked me to write a statement about the incident. I had five hours to kill at this point waiting for the next flight to Houston , so why the hell not give them my statement. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was canceled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6 PM, but I finally got there at 12:30 AM. If you don't believe this, look up the date and then Flight 297 from Atlanta to Houston .

If this wasn't a terrorism dry run, I don't know what is. The terrorists wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it. I'm telling this to you because I want you to know. The threat IS real. I saw it with my own eyes."

I suggest you keep this going until this incident reaches the email of all POLITICIANS and the news media!

PEOPLE THAT DELETE THIS TYPE OF EMAIL, REFUSE TO PASS IT ON, OR SIMPLY DON'T CARE ARE ONE OF THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE THAT DO CARE CAN'T MAKE ANY HEADWAY.. THE THREATS ARE REAL.

NOTE: I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING OR ANYONE TO CONFIRM OR DENY THE VERACITY OF THIS STORY. I AM FORWARDING IT WITH THAT CAVEAT. IF IT'S FICTION, I APOLOGIZE....BUT IT SEEMS BELIEVABLE..

IF YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY: THEN PLEASE WATCH THIS! - Non Partisan !

At least there are a few honest guys in Washington who are willing to tell it like it is.

Did you know this? There are no words to describe how disgraceful this is. Interesting four minute speech. I do not care what your political bias is, this is a disgrace. Watch it.

No wonder this country is in such a big mess. Our law makers have no idea what they are voting on. Is that how the Senate really works? Unbelievable!! Every American should see this video. Please pass it on.

JESUS' DEATH - 60 SECONDS~~~

As we move into the Lent season.

JESUS' DEATH - 60 SECONDS ~~~

60 seconds with God...
For The next 60 seconds, set aside whatever
You're doing and take this opportunity!
Let's see if Satan can stop this...

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS

At the age of 33,
Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.

At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was
Even more dreadful for Jesus, for unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion, Jesus was nailed to the cross by His hands and feet, rather than tied...

Each nail
Was 6 to 8 inches long.

The nails
Were driven into His wrist. Not
Into His palms as is commonly
Portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that
Extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew
That when the nails were being hammered into the
Wrist, that tendon would tear and
Break, forcing Jesus to use His back
Muscles to support himself, so that He could breathe.

Both of His feet
Were nailed together. Thus He was forced to
Support Himself on the single nail that
Impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could
Not support himself with His legs for long because of the pain, so He was forced to alternate between arching His
Back and using his legs just to continue to
Breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the
Suffering, the courage.

Jesus endured this
Reality for over 3 hours.

Yes,
Over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of
Suffering? A few minutes before He died,
Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water
>From his wounds.

From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side...
But do we remember the many wounds
Made to his body. A hammer
Driving large nails through the wrists, the feet overlapped
And a nail hammered through the arches, then a
Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. And...
Before the nails and the spear, Jesus was whipped and
Beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the
Flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His
Face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The
Crown of thorns (two to three inch thorns) cut deeply into His scalp. Most men
Would not have survived this torture.

"

He had no more blood
To bleed out, only water poured from His
Wounds.The
Human adult body contains about 3.5 liters
(just less than a gallon) of blood.

Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood;
He had three nails hammered into His
Members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond
That, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His Chest..

All these without
Mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying His own
Cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his
Face and threw stones (the cross beam was almost 30 kg of weight, to which His hands were nailed).

Jesus had to endure this experience,
So that you may have free access to God.

So that your sins can be "washed" away.
All of them, with no exception!
Don't ignore this.

JESUS CHRIST DIED...FOR YOU!

For you, who now read this e-mail.
Do not believe that He only died for others
(those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).

He died for you!
It is easy to e-mail jokes or silly photos,
But when it comes to God,
Sometimes we feel ashamed to forward a message about Him on
To others.
We are worried of what they may think.

Accept the reality, the truth, that
JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.

God has special plans for YOU!
Share this with all your friends...
About what He went through to save you.
Really think about it!

May God bless you!

For the next 60 seconds,
Set aside what you're doing and take
This opportunity! Please don't allow Satan to stop this.

All you have to do
Is:

1.Pray for the person who sent this message to you.

2. Send this message to your friends.

3.That way, others will pray for you
and you will encourage many people
to pray to God for others.

4. Take a moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, as you do what pleases Him.

If you are not ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus' instructions.
He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33):"Everyone therefore
who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge
before My Father in heaven; but whosoever denies Me
before others, I also will deny before My
Father in heaven".

The Millers of Vermont. (Apologies for pics disorder)

You have to read this to believe it!



A.K. Miller's Front Yard

Consider the strange story of Alex and Imogene Miller of East Orange, VT.
They eked out an existence on a small farm.
Alex would scrounge rusty nails from burnt buildings to repair his roof.
He drove a ratty VW Beetle, and when it died, he found another even more ratty, and another...the rusting carcasses littered his yard.
Alex died in 1993, and Imogene died in 1996.
The local church took up a collection so they could be buried in the churchyard, and the state began the process of taking the farm for taxes.
That would have been the end of a sad story, except...


Forget the VW: a '28 Franklin ($4500 US) and a '23 HCS($14,500 US) lurk inside.
While preparing the estate for auction, the sheriff discovered a cache of bearer bonds taped to the back of a mirror.
That triggered a comprehensive search of the house and outbuildings.
The estate auction would eventually be handled by Christie’s, and it would bring out collectors from all over the world.


1913 Stutz Bearcat went for just $105,000 US. Must have been the bad tire.
It seems that Alex Miller was a Rutgers grad, son of a wealthy financier.
He lived in Montclair , NJ , where he founded Miller's Flying Service in 1930.
He operated a gyrocopter (look it up, it's too much of a digression) for mail and delivery service through the 30's.
But the Millers had a secret, and they moved from Montclair when they needed room for it.


Step behind the wheel of a 1916 Stutz Bearcat ($155,000 US).
Choosing to live low profile, and paranoid about tax collectors, Miller moved to the farm in Vermont , and took his collections with him.
Most of his cash had been exchanged for gold and silver bars and coins, which he buried in various locations around the farm.
He carefully disassembled his gyrocopter, and stored it in an old one-room schoolhouse on his property.
He then built a couple of dozen sheds and barns out of scrap lumber and recycled nails.
In the sheds he put his collection.


Have to remember to clean that '20 Bearcat out of the shed ($50,000 US).
Alex Miller had an obsession with cars.
Not just any cars, but Stutz cars.
Blackhawk’s, Bearcats, Super Bearcats, DV16's and 32's.
He had been buying them since the 1920's.
When Stutz went out of business, he bought a huge pile of spare parts, which was also carefully stored away in his sheds.


A Springfield Rolls Piccadilly Roadster ($115,000 US), made in Illinois .
Sometimes he would stray, and buy other "special cars", including Locomobiles, a Stanley , and a Springfield Rolls Royce.
He never drove them.
He'd simply move them into his storage sheds in the middle of the night, each car wrapped in burlap to protect it from any prying eyes.
Over the years, the farm appeared to grow more and more forlorn, even as the collection was growing.


A snappy car: 1921 Stutz Bearcat ($58,000 US).
Occasionally he would sell some parts to raise cash.
Rather than dipping into his cache, he would labour for hours making copies of the original parts by hand.


Stutz factory spares. Cylinders and pistons from a brass era Stutz in foreground.
Collectors knew him as a sharp trader, who had good merchandise but was prone to cheating.
His neighbours had no clue at all, they thought Alex and Imogene were paupers, and often helped out with charity.


Wheelbarrow blocks a '28 Stutz Blackhawk Boattail Speedster ($78,000 US).
The auction was a three day circus, billed as the "Opening of King Stutz Tomb."
It attracted celebrity collectors, as well as thousands of curiosity seekers.
The proceeds were in the millions, some items went for far more than their value in the frenzy.
In the end, the IRS took a hefty chunk of the cash for back taxes, which proves the old adage about the only two sure things in life.


A vanilla '31 SV16 Stutz Sedan ($10,000)


Bargain of the show: a '29 Stutz Blackhawk sedan for $7000 US


A beautiful Stutz DV32 Sedan ($27,500)


Anyone need a new Stutz engine? Still factory fresh.


A'23 HCS ($12,000 US) lurks in the darkness of the barn.


A Lebaron dual-cowl Stutz from 1929 ($68,000 US)


A '27 Stutz AA Sedan for $6500 US


1925 Stutz Speedway Six ($9000 US)


T-Head engine in a '21 Bearcat


Build a '22 Stutz touring car from this pile of parts for just $10,000 US


Final tally:

$2.18 million at auction

$1 million in gold

$75,000 in silver

$400,000 in stock
And they never got to enjoy it!

Analysis from Canada on the Conn. School Shootings

Editorial

Blood is on The Hands of the LEFT

By: Howard Galganov, Canadian writer December 14, 2012

I was just about to publish my latest editorial... on Canada's Supreme Court decision to suspend Freedom of Speech in favor of promoting one language over all others. THEN THE CONNECTICUT SCHOOL SHOOTINGS HAPPENED.

What happened at Sandy Hook School takes precedence over any language issues in Canada and a failed Judicial System in both our countries.
If you want to stop the sickness . . . IT'S TIME TO STOP THE LEFT.
I won't waste words describing my feelings, because how I feel is indescribable about 27 people murdered, (20 young children and six adults at the school),the murder of the shooter's mother beforehand, then the cowardly suicide of the shooter at the school as law enforcement closed in.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU WITH CERTAINTY WHY IT HAPPENED:

It didn't happen because of the so-called gun culture, or because of poor security at the school. It happened because of the modern leftist culture that has been busy removing all semblance of personal responsibility and respect from our lives.

It happened because of the Hollywood and television types who lecture the conservatives on how people should live, while they make large fortunes producing absolute filth and violence in their movies, videos, and television programs.

It happened because of the reality TV shows that often demean humanity, along with shows that make people laugh at the pain and humiliation of others.

The senseless murders happened because multi-millionaire computer game producers create ugly digital scenarios that poison young minds with abject depravity and gratuitous violence.

It happened because the school system no longer teaches values, and promotes the idea that 'anything goes.' And that all people are equal, regardless of the truth. And that no one ever fails!

It happened because progressive-liberal leaders won't allow concerned and loving parents to discipline their children, or raise their children in the time-honored way they feel is right.

It happened because far too many secular thought leaders and media writers spend their time and effort ridiculing and attacking the people who want to live by the lessons of the Bible and the Torah.

In truth, this and other horrible acts of violence happen because our society-- from the entertainment industry, to schools, to the media, and to our governments-- have created the social and cultural foundation that is eating away at both Canada and the United States like a cancer.

I know that what I am writing is in today's world inflammatory, but that's OK. I want my old country's values back!

Values like standing in school when an adult entered the room. Like being seriously disciplined for bad behavior - at school or at home. Like when we were measured by our successes and failures. When not everyone had to waste years of his or her life going to college and likely going into debt to perhaps learn basket weaving instead of going to a trade course or going to work or the military service right after high school.

In sadness . . . Howard Galganov

I matter; my opinion - not so much!

If you are like me, you want to be relevant. I WANT to MATTER! Beyond that, I want to make an impact in people’s lives. I freely admit that I have NEVER gotten up in the morning and said, “Today, I wish to be completely irrelevant on every level.” Not me. Life’s too short for that.

Here’s what God is teaching me – and has been for a long time. HOW do I matter? In my “little world” the answer may surprise you. No, it is not preaching before hundreds (or more). No, it is not TV or position or influence publicly. That is a calling, and I love it, but that does not make me relevant.

We have this in common no matter how different our callings are. Mine is to be a Pastor/Teacher/Shepherd of a local church. Yours may be to be a teacher, businessman, homemaker, shop worker, or retiree. We have in common the desire to be relevant. The key question is – how do we do that? The biblical answer is to give our lives for the TRUTH.

Here’s the dilemma. We confuse OPINION with TRUTH. Not only are they NOT the same, they aren’t even close to equally important. I learned a long time ago that my opinion matters only to me, but truth matters to everyone. Therefore, I gave up on advancing my opinion completely and committed my life to advancing the TRUTH. That gives me relevance. Some people think relevance comes in advancing their opinion. It does not. Even further, God commands that we turn from our own opinion and embrace His TRUTH. It’s called “dying to self.” Yet, so many of us think that as Christians we “have the truth, so we need to speak.” NOT TRUE – GOD, and God alone, HAS THE TRUTH. So our calling is to advance HIS TRUTH. Speak HIS TRUTH!

Only in passing and with much hesitancy will I ever share my opinion. Two reasons – I have proven to myself so many times that I am very capable of being (often!) wrong. Also, my opinion matters far more to me that it does to anyone else on the planet, so I need to share my opinion mostly with the people that opinions matter to most – ME! Therefore, I talk to myself (kidding, or maybe not!).

Consider this – you have opinions – so do I – and they matter. But realize who they matter to most – YOU (or me!). What our friends need most, what others around us need most from us, is God’s TRUTH. You DO MATTER. God sent His Son to die for YOU! He redeemed you, loves you, cares for you and paid for your sins with the blood of His Son. You DO MATTER. But your (and my) opinion – not so much.

Our relevance in this world doesn’t depend on our opinion. Nobody else wants to hear it – they have one of their own. And God certainly doesn’t want to hear it – He already knows it and better yet, He already knows what is TRUTH regardless of our opinion. What makes us relevant is knowing and sharing His TRUTH!

So – what do I do? Know His TRUTH. Study His Word. Read His Word. That is TRUTH. Then – get relevant. Be more relevant. How? Tell others the TRUTH. Talk based on the TRUTH. Live based on the TRUTH – not your opinion.

Why? Because you ARE RELEVANT, to the degree that you share TRUTH. Your opinion – not so much.

For me – I want to matter. I want to be relevant. Therefore, I choose to live, know, and share TRUTH from God.

What is your choice?

Dr. Richard A. Powell
Senior Pastor

Florida Needs Your Help
Posted: 01 Feb 2013 07:04 AM PST



Dear Friends and Native Plant Enthusiasts,

Protecting our waters, cherished natural areas and wildlife is fundamental to a healthy and vibrant Florida. It’s not too late to make 2013 the year in which you make a difference. How? By helping FNPS and Florida’s Water and Land Legacy Campaign place a critical conservation amendment on the November 2014 ballot.


Good karma will come back to those who gather signatures!
Given the glorious weather of late, it is no wonder there will be so many outdoor festivals in the coming months throughout Florida. These offer some of the most productive signature gathering opportunities that this campaign can benefit from. For this reason, we need volunteers now more than ever.

To put the Water and Land Conservation Amendment on the 2014 ballot, we will need to gather 480,000 signatures (in addition to those we’ve already collected); we have less than one year to make this happen. Right now, the most important thing you can do to protect our rivers, springs, beaches and the places you hold dear to your hearts is to volunteer.

You have a chance to make sure that state lawmakers continue to invest in conservation by:
Protecting clean water for people and wildlife,
Restoring important natural areas like the Everglades, and
Safeguarding our springs, among other magnificent treasures, for future generations to enjoy.
Florida needs your help. Please visit Florida’s Water and Land Legacy website to learn more about the campaign and consider signing up to volunteer today.
