I do not know if what I’m about to write makes me a monster. I do know that it makes me a part of a miniscule minority, if Internet trends and news stories of the past weeks are any guide.
“It”, is this:
I haven’t donated a cent to the Haitian relief effort. And I probably will not.
I haven’t donated to the Haitian relief effort for the same reason that I don’t give money to homeless men on the street. Based on past experiences, I don’t think the guy with the sign that reads “Need You’re Help” is going to do anything constructive with the dollar I might give him. If I use history as my guide, I don’t think the people of Haiti will do much with my money either.
In this belief I am, evidently, alone. It seems that everyone has jumped on the “Save Haiti” bandwagon. To question the impulse to donate, then, will probably be viewed as analogous with rooting for Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, or the Spice Girls.
My wariness has much to do with the fact that the sympathy deployed to Haiti has been done so unconditionally. Very few have said, written, or even intimated the slightest admonishment of Haiti, the country, for putting itself into a position where so many would be killed by an earthquake.
I can’t help but wonder why questions have not been raised in the face of this outpouring of support. Questions like this one:
Shouldn’t much of the responsibility for the disaster lie with the victims of that disaster?
Before the reader reaches for his or her blood pressure medication, he should allow me to explain. I don’t mean in any way that the Haitians deserved their collective fate. And I understand that it is difficult to plan for the aftermath of an earthquake. However, it is not outside the realm of imagination to think that the citizens of a country might be able to: A) avoid putting themselves into a situation that might result in such catastrophic loss of life. And B) provide for their own aid, in the event of such a catastrophe.
Imagine that I’m a caveman. Imagine that I’ve chosen to build my house out of balsa wood, and that I’m building it next to a roaring river because I’ve decided it will make harvesting fish that much easier. Then, imagine that my hut is destroyed by a flood.
Imagining what would happen next is easier than imagining me carrying a caveman’s club. If I were lucky enough to survive the roaring waters that took my hut, my tribesmen would say, “Building next to the river was pretty dumb, wasn’t it?.” Or, if I weren’t so lucky, they’d say, “At least we don’t have to worry about that moron anymore.”
Sure, you think, but those are cavemen. We’re more civilized now – we help each other, even when we make mistakes.
True enough. But what about when people repeat their mistakes? And what about when they do things that obviously act against their own self-interests?
In the case of mistakes and warnings as applied to Haiti, I don’t mean to indict those who ignored actual warnings against earthquakes, of which there were many before the recent one. Although it would have been prudent to pay heed to those, I suppose.
Instead, I’m referring to the circumstances in which people lived. While the earthquake was, obviously, unavoidable, the way in which many of the people of Haiti lived was not. Regrettably, some Haitians would have died regardless of the conditions in that country. But the fact that so many people lived in such abject poverty exacerbated the extent of the crisis.
How could humans do this to themselves? And what’s being done to stop it from happening again?
After the tsunami of 2004, the citizens of the world wailed and donated and volunteered for cleanup, rarely asking the important – and, I think, obvious – question: What were all those people doing there in the first place? Just as important: If they move back to a place near the ocean that had just been destroyed by a giant wave, shouldn’t our instinct be to say, “Go ahead if you want, but you’re on your own now.”?
We did the same after Hurricane Katrina. We were quick to vilify humans who were too slow to respond to the needs of victims, forgetting that the victims had built and maintained a major city below sea level in a known target zone for hurricanes. Our response: Make the same mistake again. Rebuild a doomed city, putting aside logic as we did.
And now, faced with a similar situation, it seems likely that we will do the same.
Shouldn’t there be some discourse on how the millions of dollars that are being poured into Haiti will be spent? And at least a slight reprimand for the conditions prior to the earthquake? Some kind of inquisition? Something like this?:
Dear Haitians –
First of all, kudos on developing the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Your commitment to human rights, infrastructure, and birth control should be applauded.
As we prepare to assist you in this difficult time, a polite request: If it’s possible, could you not re-build your island home in the image of its predecessor? Could you not resort to the creation of flimsy shanty- and shack-towns? And could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?
Sincerely,
The Rest of the World
It shouldn’t be outlandish to hope that we might stop short of the reactionary word that is so often flung about after natural (and unnatural) disasters. That word: Rebuild. Thus, the tired, knee-jerk cycle of aid/assist/rebuild would be replaced by a new one: Aid/assist/let’s-stop-and-think-before-we-screw-this-up-again.
If forced to do so through logic-colored glasses, no one would look at Haiti and think, “You know what? It was a great idea to put 10 million people on half of an island. The place is routinely battered by hurricanes (in 2008, $900 million was lost/spent on recovery from them), it holds the aforementioned title of poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, and it happens to sit on a tectonic fault line.”
If it were apparent that Haiti would likely rebuild in an earthquake-resistant way, and if a cure could be found for hurricane abuse of island nations, then maybe one could imagine putting a sustained effort into rebuilding the place. But that would only be feasible if the country had shown any ability to manage its affairs in the past, which it has not done.
I can tell, based on my own reaction to that last sentence, that it might strike a nerve. The reader might be tempted to think, “We can’t blame the people of Haiti for their problems. Surely it’s someone else’s fault.” A similar sentiment can be found in this quote, from an article on the geology behind the quake:
“Unfortunately, [Haiti]’s government was not in a position to really do much to prepare for the inevitable large earthquake, leaving tens of thousands to suffer the consequences.”
The sentiment expressed is one of outrage at the government. But, ultimately, the people in a country have control over their government. One could argue that in totalitarian regimes, they do not have much control, but in the end, it is their government. And therefore, their responsibility. If the government is not doing enough for the people, it is the people’s responsibility to change the government. Not the other way around.
Additionally, some responsibility for the individual lies with that individual.
A Haitian woman, days after the earthquake:
“We need so much. Food, clothes, we need everything. I don’t know whose responsibility it is, but they need to give us something soon,” said Sophia Eltime, a mother of two who has been living under a bed sheet with seven members of her extended family. (From an AP report.)
Obviously, a set of circumstances such as the one in which Ms. Eltime was living is a heart-wrenching one. And for that, anyone would be sympathetic. Until she says, “I don’t know whose responsibility it is.” I don’t know whose responsibility it is, either. What I do know is that it is not the responsibility of the outside world to provide help. It’s nice if we do, but it is not a requirement, especially when people choose to influence their own existences negatively, whether by having too many children when they can’t afford them or by failing to recognize that living in a concrete bunker might not be the best way to protect one’s family, whether an earthquake happens or not.
Ms. Eltime’s reaction helps define what is the crux of my problem with the reaction to this and to other humanitarian crises. I recoil at the notion that I’m SUPPOSED to do something. I would like to help, but only if I feel that my assistance is deserved and justified. If I perceive that I am being told to feel a certain way, and if I can point to a pattern of mistakes made in similar situations, I lose interest.
When I was young, the great humanitarian crisis facing our world – as portrayed by the media, anyway – was the starving masses in Africa. The solution found, of course, was to send bag after bag of food to those people, forgetting the long-understood maxim that giving more food to poor people allows them to create more poor people. (Admittedly, it’s a harsh truth.) At the time, my classmates and I, young and naïve as we were, thought we had come up with a better solution. “They should just go somewhere else,” we said. Our teacher grimaced, saying, “It’s not that simple.”
It still isn’t. And I’m not as naïve as I once was – I don’t think the people of Haiti have the option of moving. But I do think that our assistance should be restricted, like it should be in cases of starvation. It simply does not work to give, unconditionally. What might work is to teach. In the case of famine-stricken segments of Africa, teaching meant making people understand that a population of people needs a certain amount of food, and that the creation of that food has to be self-sustaining for the system to work. In the case of earthquake-stricken Haiti, teaching might mean limited help, but help that is accompanied by criticism of the circumstances that made that help necessary.
In the case of the Haitian earthquake, it’s heartening to see people caring about the fates of their fellow men. What is alarming, I think, is the sometimes illogical frenzy toward casting those affected by the earthquake as helpless, innocent souls who were placed on the island of Hispaniola by an invisible force. In the case of some, this analogy might well be accurate; children cannot very well control their destinies. And as far as sympathy goes, much of it should go to those children.
But children are brought into the world by their parents. Those parents have a responsibility – to themselves and to their kids – to provide. They have a responsibility to look around – before an earthquake happens – and say, “I need to improve this situation, because if a catastrophe were to happen, we’d be in bad shape.”
The people of whom I write are adults. Functional, human adults with functional, human adult brains. It is not too much to ask that they behave as such. That they stand up and say, “Yes, we screwed this up the first time. We are forever indebted to you. Now show us how we can do it right. So that, next time, we won’t need your help.”

I truly believe we have wasted billions on helping these people. Not only that, but the ammount of money that goes to the corperations that offer so called relief. They take a good chunk of our donations to fund there own lifes here in north america. Hopefully only Cristiens and weak minded people are donating to these lost causes….
Dear Paul Shirley,
You are a fucking retard. That is all.
Dear Paul,
I am gratified to know that ESPN didn’t think these comments represented their philosophy. It would be sad if civilized society patted you on the back and said, “here,here!” The Haitian people are doing precisely what Paul Shirley and Nancy Daniels do– what our parents did. You and I won the pre-birth lottery. They did not. Your comments are not far removed from your parents’ ideology. You can move away from your parents philosophically, but, like the Haitian people you have chosen to “put your hut by the river” because it is easier. Perhaps I have judged you too harshly– perhaps you are teaching citizenship classes in your spare time like my friend Ben; perhaps you are visiting Wyandotte County to see what the life a person living in poverty is really like (3 jobs and 7 bus rides) or perhaps you’ve become a Big Brother to expose yourself and a child to a different way of life. I doubt it. If you had “moved your hut” to expose yourself to other people’s reality, you could not have written this article. As for your comment about “using a condom” you should know that the birth rate has never gone down in any country until infant mortality goes down. These women are trying to have enough children to get one to live to adulthood. It is not your reality, but it is theirs and it doesn’t make it any less real. Let me know if you want to move your hut. A good place to start is http://www.results.org.
The ignorance is dumbfounding. Shirley gives “kudos” to Haiti for “developing the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.” How about some “kudos” to your own country? The United States has actually played a prominent role in the degradation of Haiti. We destroyed their democracy, for starters. Open a real history book and learn about it instead of writing this insensitive garbage.
Thanks Paul, finally someone has said it properly without regard for PC-ness. I appreciate your acknowledgement for realism.
Dear Paul,
I am applauding to your courage to be a “black sheep” in expressing a different opinion in response to Haiti’s disaster. I agree with you that if we keep blaming everyone and everything else, we never learn the lesson. We do have to start taking responsibilities for the mess that we as a human race had created on this planet. Haiti is just one example of that mess.
Thank you for expressing your truth!
Galina Vladi
To me, even if the Haitian’s were entirely to blame for the damage the earthquake did to their country (I believe luck & history had a lot to do with it), such criticism is missing the point of an urgent relief effort.
Mr. Shirley’s criticism is a bit like giving a lecture to a badly injured speeding motorist, as he bleeds to death, on how he should have driven more carefully, rather than taking him to a hospital. I’d prefer to take him to the hospital first, and give him the lecture later. Mr. Shirley also seems to assume that the governmental and institutional failures of Haiti should be reasons to deny its citizens aid. For starters, in no point in Haiti’s history do ordinary citizens appear to have be in a position to build up either the physical or intellectual capital necessary to privately look after their own needs beyond a subsistence living. With regard to intellectual capital, schooling in the local Creole language did not even occur until 1922, less than 90 years ago.
(BTW: If I state something unlinked/uncited, it is from Wikipedia, the fount of all knowledge.)
Haitian civil unrest & violence
Mr. Shirley might argue that these citizens who are now victims of the quake are the very ones who caused the violence and civil unrest that’s been the source of so many problems throughout Haiti’s unstable history. I suspect he would be wrong. Let’s look at a parallel case in Afghanistan or Iraq. You could blame the Taliban in Afghanistan for the poor conditions and civil rights abuses. However, the Taliban are estimated to number in the tens of thousands in Afghanistan. Let’s assume there are 100,000 of them. The Afghanistan population totals about 28 million. That means that only 0.36% of the population are Taliban, or 1 in 280. You might counter by saying that yes, 279 out of 280 AREN’T Taliban insurgents, but since they outnumber them, why don’t they revolt and kick them out of the country if they don’t like the conditions caused by the Taliban? I would suspect it’s the same reason I wouldn’t take up arms against the US government if it decided to become a totalitarian dictatorship tomorrow: I’d get slaughtered. The Afghanistan people are poor, like the people in Haiti (who are even poorer.) They lack education and military and financial strength.
Similarly in Iraq, there are roughly 100,000 – 130,000 insurgents. If we divide 130,000 by the population of 31 million we get 0.42%, or about 1 in 240 people. My point here is that a relatively small amount of people with guns and resources can control a much large number of people without one or the other. Thus, blaming the typical Haitian citizen for not kicking violent organized groups out of the country is unrealistic.
Poverty and lack of financial & intellectual capital
“By most economic measures, Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas. It had a nominal GDP of 7.018 billion USD in 2009, with a GDP per capita of 790 USD, about $2 per person per day.”
However, of that ‘wealth’, about half of it is in the hands of Haiti’s richest 1%. Thus, GDP per capita for 99% of the country is actually $1 per day.
“About 80% of the population were estimated to be living in poverty in 2003. Most Haitians live on $2 or less per day. Haiti has 50% illiteracy, and over 80% of college graduates from Haiti have emigrated, mostly to the United States.”
So of those folks that DO get access to education (very few), 4 out of 5 leave the country for greener pastures. (And who could blame them? Mr. Shirley certainly wouldn’t, unless they stayed behind to contribute to their home country’s economy and got crushed in the earthquake; then he’d blame them.)
Government & Corruption
I’ve established why I believe it’s ridiculous to assume that Haiti’s private sector could’ve been expected to prepare for the earthquake, which would’ve been relatively unaffordable, but what about the government? Surely there must have been some capital stored up to build earthquake-proof houses etc for the masses? Unfortunately, that is also not true, in part due to looting of Haiti’s coffers by corrupt officials: “It is estimated that [a former Haitian president, his wife] and three other people took $504 million from the Haitian public treasury between 1971 and 1986.”
“Similarly millions was stolen by [former president] Aristide. During the Aristide era, drug trafficking emerged as a major industry. Beaudoin Ketant, a notorious international drug trafficker and close partner of Aristide, confessed that Aristide “turned the country into a narco-country. It’s a one-man show. You either pay (Aristide) or you die”. The BBC describes pyramid schemes, in which Haitians lost hundreds of millions in 2002, as the “only real economic initiative” of the Aristide years.”
Okay, so officials have been corrupt and have stolen hundreds of millions from the government over the years, but what about all the foreign aid that Haiti has received?
“Foreign aid makes up approximately 30–40% of the national government’s budget. The largest donor is the US, followed by Canada and the European Union. From 1990 to 2003, Haiti received more than $4 billion in aid.”
$4 billion might sound like a large amount of money, and it is, until you divide it by population. Let’s assume the aid was spread out evenly over 13 years and that the population was, on average, 7.6 million. That equates to $308 million per year, or $40.50 per person per year, which is about 1 month’s wages for most people in Haiti. Could you rebuild your house on a sturdy earthquake proof foundation for $40 bucks, or even 1 month’s salary? Or how about relocating to what might be a safer place (regardless of whether you can earn a living there)?
“In 2005 Haiti’s total external debt reached an estimated US$1.3 billion, which corresponds to a debt per capita of US$169. In September 2009, Haiti met the conditions set out by the IMF and World Bank’s Heavily Indebted Poor Countries program to qualify for cancellation of its external debt.”
So until recently, the government was carrying debt equal to 18.7% of its 2008 GDP. That’s not a very strong base from which to run a deficit with large-scale public infrastructure projects. To put it into comparison, the US’s record-high government debt is around 8% of GDP, only 43% of that of Haiti’s in % of GDP terms.
Who should rebuild Haiti?
Mr. Shirley states “I don’t know whose responsibility it is [to rebuild Haiti], either. What I do know is that it is not the responsibility of the outside world to provide help. [My note: which is basically saying it’s either Haiti’s responsibility or no one's.] It’s nice if we do, but it is not a requirement, especially when people choose to influence their own existences negatively, whether by having too many children when they can’t afford them or by failing to recognize that living in a concrete bunker might not be the best way to protect one’s family, whether an earthquake happens or not.”
On the subject of family sizes in Haiti, for one thing, birth control is likely very inaccessible. (If Mr. Shirley would then urge Haitians simply to not have sex, he would be severely overestimating the will power of all but a special class of human beings.) Secondly, it may actually be in the economic self interest of Haitians to have large families (to say nothing of emotional self interests.) Two thirds of Haitians support themselves by subsistence agriculture. On a farm, more children equals free labor, so it may be rational for individual families to continue have larger families, despite their poverty.
Logically I can’t dispute whether or not better off people have a ‘requirement’ do help those much worse off. Morally I disagree. I believe those with way more money than they need to make them happy (the western world) has a strong moral imperative to better the conditions of those worse off.
How would you want the world to be if you were randomly placed in it?
There is a very simple thought experiment that I find helpful in defending the ideal that those with a lot should help those with a little. Imagine that you were given a chance before birth to allocate all the resources in the world to various countries, regions, and peoples of the world. You can do this however you want. The catch is that afterwards, you will be randomly placed into that world population of about 6.5 billion. Given income distribution in our world (as of the year 2000), you would have a 45% chance of living off less than $3/day (including a 23% chance of living off less than $2/day, the level that Haiti is at.) 2 out of 3 times you would be living off less than $14/day. You would only have a 13% (1 of
chance of being relatively affluent & making at least $11,500 per year (1997 data), which is well below the poverty line for a family in the United States. (The US median income per family is about $55,000 per year, making us extremely wealthy by worldwide standards.)
We live in a world where the richest 10% of the population owns 85% of its assets, and the poorest 50% owns 1%. Would you choose to distribute resources as they are today, knowing that you’re most likely to live your life in incredible poverty (by US standards)? Or would you choose to move things around a bit, giving yourself a chance to live comfortably no matter where you happen to be born?
Two times the wealth doesn’t equal two times the happiness
I would choose the latter, and I suspect many other people would as well for the following reason. Pretend someone offers to let you flip a coin for your entire net worth. If the coin lands heads, you double your wealth. If it’s tails, you are utterly wiped out and have nothing: no house, no savings, no clothes/cars/iPhone etc. Would you take the gamble? I suspect 98% of Americans would not. The reason? Having twice as much wealth doesn’t bring us twice as much happiness. The more money we make, the less valuable each dollar is to us. Economists refer to this trait as being ‘risk averse.’ Losing what we already have hurts more than gaining an equivalent amount, so we pay for security in the form of insurance or diversified mutual funds.
Of course, in terms of the ‘where would you be born’ thought experiment, the results of birth misfortune are much more dire than simply losing your current wealth. Not only do you have a 7/8 chance of making less than $11,500, you will likely lose your paths of opportunity to a better life: education, health, human rights, and physical security.
Incentives
One issue I haven’t addressed is the proper incentive system for people, not just “ideal” wealth distribution. If someone does something harmful to themselves, you want to discourage them from doing so again. I’ve already explained why I believe the vast majority of impoverished Haitian’s are NOT very responsible for their fate, thus, it makes little sense to punish them by withholding aid.
Where possible to do so effectively, the US & private donors should definitely make an attempt to reform Haiti’s government and provide citizens with better opportunities to help themselves. That being said, we can do a lot in the mean time.
Conclusion
In closing, I urge thinking people to avoid assigning blame to people in trouble simply because they have had the misfortune to be born in a different part of the world. This is an easy trap to fall into because it absolves the blamer of all responsibility to help. It is also easy to forget how incredibly privileged we are in western Europe & the United States.
Fortunately, judging from the roughly $1 billion in private donations from the American charities to Haiti, the vast majority of people are ignoring Mr. Shirley’s callous and faulty reasoning and donating however they can to help the Haiti relief effort. If you haven’t already, I urge you to do the same.
You are absolutely fucked buddy. I suggest you start writing after you actually get an education.
mr. shirley,you are exactly right.period. i can not understand why all this third world goverments and all these so called help programs,dont give and teach condom use.
WE all can say that we should or shouldn’t help. But is that the real answer? No I suppose not. Think of our own government in the USA, they do not look after the american people, the politicians are as crooked as a dogs hind leg. If we the people of a country that has freedom and supposedly have the american dream, where is it. We can’t control our own government how are we to say or give advice to a country that is poorer than ours control their government. They all are crooked. People have forgotten the Bible. All these episodes and catastrophes are by the act of God. We don’t control him. He is letting all things happen to fulfill his word. It is all Bible and it is the end time and it is going to get worse not better. Our own government will fall and we will not be able to control that. This is the devils world, people read the Bible.
Dear Paul and followers,
You and others that agree with you should be ashamed of yourselves. You talk about human rights but, i’m not sure that youre intelligent enough or empathic enough to know the meaning of human rights. Your comments and ignorance to human suffering are embarrassing to me as an American. Youre a disgrace to not only Americans but, human-kind in general. It is not difficult to imagine you as a caveman, because youre ignorance to humanity is so evident that it is not a far stretch to view you as barbaric. Of course you dont have to donate money or time if you dont feel it will help, but your awful comments and inhumane ideals perpetuate ignorance. as a public figure you have used your celebrity to set a poor example and you should be embarrassed and ashamed for what you have said. As a young person in modern American society I can say with full conviction that you are truly cold-hearted and callus and that it is people like you that make me more motivated to help those who find it difficult to help themselves. You may not donate money or give a shit about humanity, but I do and i know others do as well. If you were not born to some sort of privlegde or you were part of a natural disaster and had NOTHING, you would be praying for myself and others like me for help and we would give it to you because no human should suffer like that and be left helpless and it is with that thought that i leave you.
Have a nice life you washed-up athlete.
K
Let me see if I understand this correctly… Two adult can’t raise enough food on their farm to feed themselves. However, two adults with an infant are able to raise enough food for the family. Lastly, two adults with a malnourished child helper are able to create a sustainable way of life. Did I get it right?
Wow. You really know absolutely nothing about how the world works do you?
Go read some actual literature about vulnerability to natural hazards. Or have someone read it if that helps.
The only thing anyone somewhat knowledgeable in the field would agree with is that there are social dimensions of “natural” disasters. Blaming the victims was all the rage in the old days. Thankfully, we know better.
Dear Paul Shirley,
This column is awesome, first because it’s all true and second because it says the truths we’re socialized to be afraid of.
Personally, I dislike fear and taboos on truth (I don’t oppose taboos on behavior like pedophilia).
But by taking a step into the realist world, you’ve found that there are many people out there who are threatened by reality and will want to kill the messenger.
That seems to me the human problem in America and Europe at least.
The truth will always be to much for some to digest. I applaud you Paul on laying these first stones on the path towards clarity. It is to be hoped that in the forthcoming years the rest of humanity will acknowledge that these stones are level-minded and grounded and will likewise walk this path under the banner of a common truth.
Paul makes a valid point. What is really entertaining is reading all of the comments from these enraged people who are so engulfed with liberal guilt its sickening. Get over yourselves and get over the fact that others are allowed to have an opinion especially if its valid.
Liberal guilt? LOL You don’t even know what side you’re on!
Excuse the mangling, but Pray or get off the pot… Apparently Jesus was a socialist:
Ps. 140:12. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the poor.
Is. 25:4. For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress.
Ps. 10:14. The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan… O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed.
Is 41:17. The afflicted and needy are seeking water, but there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them Myself, as the God of Israel I will not forsake them.
Luke 6:20-21. Blessed are you who are poor, for yours in the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh
Paul Shirley, many in the past have come forward or have worked in secret to try controlling the population of another nation, especially a poor and oppressed one. And by affliction, I mean victimized by slavery, ignorance, disease and poverty. All these conditions already create a climate that naturally decreases the growth of a population. Science calls it natural selection.
In January, Haiti was hit by a natural disaster that claimed the lives of more than 250 000 Haitians. They continue to fear and die every day even after the relief efforts of the first responders. Why is hard for me not to believe that you, Paul and many others would love to see more Haitians dying or stop spreading by using condoms? No one should forget history for the simple fact that it has left written records of the temporal thoughts and ideas of people across generations.
Dear Paul and all who agree with you, you share the same “genetic control idea”, which can be achieved effectively on two fronts, increasing death among the living or regulating the birth rate by whatever means. The former black Egyptians who tried to control the Israelite population excelled in such ideas and practices which have been transmitted to you and all who agree with you. The irony of that famous story is the Passover when the situation was reversed by the Hebrew singer, the father of the original black and smooth Israelites.
Maybe, if more of you nurture the idea of controlling the population of a small nation like the Haitians, the Hebrew singer might come back and execute a modern Passover where all the Haitian families would be spared and the firstborns of your families and friends would be selectively targeted for signs, wonders and total extermination. I wonder what your kudos would be for the Haitians then.
True justice and equity would be served when something terrible you wish for your neighbor comes and knocks at your door. On behalf of the Haitian people, I want to express my sincere thanks to the ones who participated and supported relief efforts for Haiti. You were able to show that you have a common bond with the Haitian population which is basic humanity, the idea that naturally drives one to help someone else in crisis and understand the right of people to live and be happy. I appreciate your opposing viewpoints although I feel embarrassed for your lack of compassion, equity and righteousness.
Way to much politics at play here instead of plain ol’ truth. What Paul Shirley did was tell the TRUTH; no politics involved. Since I’ve read a few analogies (incorrect I might add) that correspond to the Haitian tragedy, allow me to offer my own based on what I know about Haiti.
Imagine that you have yourself (America) and a acquaintance (Haiti). You have noticed his obesity (Haiti’s problems) and sometimes try to help him through by watching his diet and making sure he gets enough regular exercise (American Relief Efforts, Military Aid, etc). However, after all of your help, you notice he doesn’t give a damn and resorts to his old lifestyle; becoming more obese. Against your better judgment, you continue to help him, and he is continually unresponsive to all of your efforts.
Now imagine one day he is involved in a car accident (Haiti Earthquake, OUT OF HIS CONTROL), and since he is so obese it takes longer for the authorities to rescue him because they must pry him out. Due to the delay in their rescue efforts, he loses both legs because of a lack of blood flow to his legs. Now, you (America) come to his aid and offer him a wheelchair that supports his weight, and he can continue to live his lifestyle on cheetos and cake (no thanks to you).
Think about that, either you are an amazing friend with unconditional love or some stupid patsy. Let’s hope that it’s the former, because if YOU (America) had any common sense you would have dis-associated yourself from him a long, long time ago.
I agree with you if anyone here has been to Haiti then you would know what he is talking about. The country is very and i mean very poor. I do know that our government does have some blame about this. But he is right why give away money when they really need a proper education? Intelegince is priceless and people need to know that. “Plan for the worst hope for the best.” Its a great quote some of yall should look into it. I really believe the country is so poor because they have a poor education what Sophia Eltime said really proved my point how do you not know who’s fault it is? You should as least have some form of regulation set in place for building buildings! We do need to give them food and water but what we really need to give them is not money but education. And that is what Paul was saying.
u suck!! LOL!!!this rite here is not awesome or cool u dnt have to be so mean to them wat if we had an earth quake u would want pople sending money to u would u nt so dnt say things like this u retarded stupid little boi ya douch omg u have no feelilngs for no one wat so eva i knt even stand to look at ya nam ani mor jus gt off dis page man
Why it is so easy for people with privilege to forget that only a tiny portion of the world shares it? That others actually have to worry about the estranged concept for us of “surviving”, or of feeding one’s children, before such things as “condoms.” Are you kidding?
For those who want to keep it “real” and scorn political correctness–this isn’t about jumping on the “pity” bandwagon, believe it or not our pity is worthless to everyone but possibly to ourselves”–it is about realizing that our privilege and the privilege we take for granted as we go to school, as we eat 3 daily meals, as we go to the gym, as we drive on paved roads, as we drink potable water, as we turn on the light switch every night, as we purchase clothing at Wal-Mart or Dolce and Gabbana, means that many, many others are left with nothing.

The Gods ruined my youth, my life simply so they could exploit me and position it. And because it appears I never paid they were entitled to take my health. “People’s career’s are at stake..”
Fuck the Gods to hell. Sadistic monsters. Motherfuckers PUSHED those Italians into planning WorldWarII and the Holocaust.
Created the Moorish invasion to justify crack babies, gang banging, pre-pubescent prostitution and civil rights (USA = European punishment), illustrating a total lack of empathy on the part of the Italians.
This is war. Nobody in their right minds would ever say the things I do.
Take advantage of it. This is the method the Gods used to create the Good Prophet.
This is your opportunity. Learn.
May the Gods be desposed and suffer my wrath as their fate.
Goddamn dirty motherfuckers.
The Gods never intended to allow the prophet to be used to lead by example. I have FAR too large an audience for that to be allowed and, conisistant with the advanced state of deterioration of the disfavored, now the Gods can blame me for its failure, when all along they were never going to allow it.
They claim I would have no choice but to work on my problems if I am to function in the corporate enviornment. Ironically, the probelms they created are the REASON behind what’s happened.
He who will Lead By Example is to come later, with a scaled down audience, for disfavored like my family is not entitled to witness the long, arduous path to Salvation.
Keep in mind the Gods along the way would have created oppositing evidence to dump them into, perhaps killed me/change me and claimed “clone host”, selling them on this lie, likely since it would have encompassed a far larger audience and would have reinforced the lie they already sold to them for decades.
Everybody changes as they get older, becomes more conservative. As do I.
Perhaps I see the wisdom of the Gods. People like those who exploited me, those like my family who hurt me are not entitled to observe someone on the path, for it will provide an opportuinity to escape Damnation.
Perhaps I don’t want that either. There are too many preditors out there who still think “earning” is the way.
I would be killed, the’d sell them I ascended into heaven and I’d be punished. What’s happened placed a limit on how much progress they will tolerate, and once I reached that point they would finish me.
Normally this would be a good thing, because people wrapped up in this enviornment fall for its temptations, and the result is they are better off dead. Living my life as normal places me square into this category::
1. I curse the Gods when they abuse me
2. I will eat apples/fruit out of spite.
3. Thinking of eating clam chowder/shellfish. “What’s next? Sex?”
4. I drive, pollute, waste resourses American-style, enjoy poison in society/media, eat meat, etc etc etc. Ironically, sometimes death is a good thing.
As a result I am better off dead. Working on my problems as the One Who Leads By Example is a different matter, but because of what’s happened they will only tolerate so much.
Blacks have no business being Christians.
Christianity is responsible for slavery. The Italian men who ran the Church were not allowed to attack the Moors for they had favor, so they attacked those south of the Sahara. And it still continues today.
And this was just another tool the Gods used to corrupt Italians and those who sought sucess.
The Gods sold the people that the Catholic Church was merely the incarnation and continuation of the Roman Empire.
Just as the Gods used the Moors to set up Italian’s preditory acts on blacks, so was WorldWar II revenge for Germany invading Rome in the dying days of the Empire.
The industrialists were down with the Italians seeking revenge because they’re merely God’s clone host tools, are used as temptation and the disfavored were allowed all the rope they could hang themselves with.
The God’s offensive using corporate America to convert from defined benefit into defined contribution retirement packages helped bring about the economic downturn we experience today.
Without a majority embracing defined benefit packages the Gods are given the freedom to instruct these preditors at the top to initiate the economic offensive we experience, and instead of having a guarenteed retirterment package, a vested interest by their employer, too many are betting on the market, and during these economic collapes they will find their golden years evaporate into a blur of “divine” corruption.
And although the market has bounced back, as with the 9/11 strategy, decisions were made at the time which has costed many subsequently.
But this event may have just been a warning.
Christians have mistakenly believed the perception of the Biblical definintion of The Beast as a person. I suggest The Beast instead refers to a place:::The San Francisco Bay Area. In fact the Gods offer a geographic clue suggesting this, like so many others they offer around the globe, to help people understand:::
Mt.Diablo, “The Devil” is the “eye” of The Beast, the EastBay shoreline as the upper jaw/incisors while the peninsula is the grinding lower jaw. Witness the disturbing upturned smile in the gullet.
The fact than man has shaped much of the shoreline in the 20th century is a testiment to the God’s refusal to accept any culpability.
Gold Rush, counter-culture, alternate lifestyle acceptance, etc. The Beast was used to promote social decay throughout the 20th century and beyond. Difficult to perceive in the current age, one can understand their impacts from a historical perspective.
There was a time when once the Gods “divinely” inspired punishment, where the act was inflicted by the hand of God. They were punishing people and accepting the culpability arising, maintaining societal integrity. Now, in the 20th century and beyond, the Gods tempt man to inflict this punishment, selling them on “earning”, incurring no culpability in the process. The result is social decay and deterioration of mankind’s favor in the eyes of the Gods.
The Italian peninsula is very pronounced as it juts out into the Medietereanean.
Considering the shape it is quite obvious they were the primary targets of the post-IceAge/Straight of Gibralter/Noah’s Flood disaster.
Considering the shape of the boot and how Sicily “caught” the surge, the resulting tsunami inundated the entire southern portion of the peninsula, killing everything and perhaps covering even the highest land masses.
In the 20th century the Italians were convinced entering clone hosting was ascention into heaven, and their success was a recruiting tool, just as the Holocaust was for the Jews.
The women have God’s favor, and when the women do all the evil, as was the case in my family, this serves to “equalize” the playing field, ensuring no wisdom comes to this family as they grow older. As a result they never make progress and achieve the lowest possible placement when reincarnated.
The Gods have black women betray the men to prime misogyny in the black community.
They’re lying to you and they’ve been your WHOLE LIVES!!
Europeans deserved to be inflicted with Christianity and the United States. It’s just too bad the black man had to assimilate into this white punishment.
How ironic:::As they strive for “equal rights” they actually are sinking lower into the mire of disfavor.
Reverse positioning.
Just as the Gods prohibited the Italians from attacking the Moors because of their favor, so were the Jews prohibited from attacking (most) motherland Germans. Instead they attacked German-Americans.
And the United States for ignoring the Holocaust as it happened. Thus we had the 60s and the deterioration of decency in society.
Californication.
The Italians, sexual a primary problem, had an endless supply at hand.
The Jews, sheltered from this new-world holocaust in their communities, watched the devestation.
As you entered the “valley of steel” you fell prey to temptation and betrayed your families and were punished:::The Gods “managed” these groups whom did their dirty work, “downgrading” the Jews for their obscene wickedness post-Holocaust.
Both Catholic, the Irish were too drunk to organize, which is why they didn’t hurt the BILLIONS which Italians did.
It was the degenerate Italians who planned and did the legwork for WWII who were funneled into the Nazi death camps when they thought they were ascending into heaven, avoiding the ugliness they planned for everybody else.
Life can be so sweet.
I want to play doctor.
———————————————————————
The voice you hear in your head is the power of the Gods. It’s a remote technology, like a computer, perhaps functioning on some frequency, and it can listen and talk to everyone in the universe simultaneously.
What the Gods taught the children was the truth:::God is everywhere, and this is what they meant. I will remind you of another principle you learned as a child:::If you want to go to heaven you have to be good.
Even the antient Gods don’t have the ability to listen to people’s thoughts themselves. They taugh we were all made in their image:::I expect they need this “Artificial Intelligence” they created to relay what people think.
It is a tool, and the Gods use their tools to test people with temptation:::It will role-play people in your life:::Parents, friends, spouses, and employers, all in an attempt to test people with temptation. Ironically, it does the very same thing to those people whom you think you’re hearing, except in that individual’s unique way:::We are all “managed” by the God’s technology.
But this agent of the Gods can do more than just communicate. It can force thoughts into people’s heads, force behaviors onto their bodies. It can turn healthy cells in your body into cancerous cells. It is absolute power. And this is just the beginning.
Obedience is not the answer. This is the brain-less response and the easy way out.
You’ve done everything you have been told for years and it never bought you ANYTHING. Your parents did what they were told and it didn’t buy them anything. Your grandparents did everything they were told and now they’re dead, reincarnated as lesser life forms, perhaps even into America’s deranged, violent ghettos.
People think they are not responsible when Artificial Intelligence tells them to do something. They offeed a clue with the Holocaust AND with Watergate:::Defy authority and do the right thing.
In earlier decades this obedience may have been out of fear, as so often in Germany, but that era is long over. To maximize damamge the Gods today sell them on “earning” and these people think they will profiteer from their evil.
They offer a clue on the Simpsons with Flanders and Skinner. So many ridicule both figures, a testiment to the state of our society.
The Gods favor the children most among all the people due to their innocence and purity. But society and the God’s tools recently are corrupting the children at a progressively younger age, a reflection of our collectively increasing disfavor and yet another clue illustrating we live in a increasingly deteriorating environment.
Children who sucessfully repair their relationship with the Gods ascend into heaven. This often takes multiple lives of hard work and proper behavior in the face of adversity to achieve. Adults to whom it is offered enter clone hosting instead, thinking they will be ascending into heaven ultimately. The Gods tempt people, selling them as one in the same, but one is good while the other is evil. In their desperation the disfavored subscribe to this temptation, making their task even more difficult than before due to the evil they incurr in the process. And their corruption will cost the disfavored, for they will be reincarnated as a lesser life form into an ever deteriorating world, sucess becoming ever more allusive with each passing life.
The hole they’ve dug for themselves is even deeper than the one that existed from their prior lives, ensuring it will take even more time and work to fix their problems with the Gods. And for many there may not be enough time left.
Ours is an envionment where evil is perceived to be rewarded while good is punished. As with everything the Gods have a reason for creating this perception::::
People who fall on the good side of the good/evil scale have more favor, and when they do something wrong the Gods punish them BECAUSE THEY WANT THEM TO LEARN. The Gods want them to receive this feedback in hope they make corrections and begin to behave appropriately. The Gods DON’T like evil and refuse to grant this immediate feedback.
EVERYBODY pays for what they do wrong, only evil people must wait until the end of this or their next life before they will experience the wrath of the Gods, manifested in their placement as a lower form of life into environments with increased/enhanced temptations, like the United States or its ghettos therein.
Sadly, this allows the Gods to position this perception of evil rewarded as temptation, one which they use as an EXTREMELY effective corruptor.
Example:::Punishment for gay marriage in Iowa was immediate and painful, a sign of favor of these God-fearing, church-going Midwesterners.
The Gods suggest they can create paradise for those with their favor. I argue they create misery for those without::::
Our celebrity culture is temptation. It creates a distraction which consumes people, sometimes for life. Certainly it costs them precious years which could be spent repairing their relationship with the Gods, time that ultimately goes wasted.
Do you really think Frank Sinatra lived to be 84 years old? In fact the “Chairman of the Board” had a new crowd to entertain in the late 80s/early 90s.
These people are clone hosts. Now, there is no thing as “black and white” with the Gods. This technology they invented is far, far too dynamic. Expect they require most to stay for a period of time, for I suspect actively (knowingly) engaging in this evil incurrs at an accelerated rate as compared to “carte blanche” given regarding successive clone hosts. They remain until they achieve a pre-determined level of disfavor, incurring evil in their misguided celebration of “earning”, at which time they are ultimately reincarnated, perhaps because they eventually learned this truth I am sharing with you and began to repair their relationship or until the Gods became disgusted and sent them back.
The Gods recruit most for clone hosting when people are young, in their late teens or twenties, when people are eager to hurt others for what they perceive to be the benefits achieved through “earning”. And before they leave they give the Gods “carte blanche”:::”Do anything you want. I give my full approval.” Depending on their level of disfavor the Gods take them to heart.
Because of this these people STILL INCUR EVIL FROM THIS LIFE DESPITE BEING REINCARNATED AND LIVING AS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PERSON and living in our temptation-ridden society. And incurring this amount of evil may likely push many over the edge into Damnation.
What are the God’s standards for offering clone hosting? Sociobility? Many tactics in various eras are used to gain approval, duress during the Vietnam draft being a good example, one which deteriorated into preditation as mankind’s disfavor grew.
They liked Heath Ledger. Not enough to allow him to escape without the evil of “Dark Knight” and the horrific wickedness that was the recruiting tool “Brokeback Mountain”. But now he is out. And irregardless of how old he is now, reincarnated 10, 15 years ago, he now is no longer incurring evil from this life. So many others cannot say the same.
This is Planet Reverse Positioning. Sucess IS NOT a sign of favor. It is just a unique temptation targetted towards a different level of disfavor. Considering our roots as peasantry people should be particularly alarmed at this tactic.
Clone hosting is like money:::A different level of disfavor and its associated temptation. Money is in better position to learn more quickly than those without, for the associations and wealth-based freedom enables them access to information. Unfortunately, those who fall for this temptation of clone hosting are likely returned to their original lowest level of disfavor once they are reincarnated, punishment for this evil, and they have to start from scratch.
Our society’s values are bestowed by (a reflection of) the God’s:::Punitive and reward-based. Contrary to Jesus’s teaching’s you will NOT be forgiven and you have to earn your way into heaven BY BEING RESPECTABLE AND DECENT!!!
Not by being evil and wicked.
Forgiveness/savior was the primary temptations the Gods used Christianity to create.
Middle-America’s anti-Semitic attitudes are a clue regarding Christianity. Europe shaped like a sheep is symbolic for the slaughter that is Christinaity.
Christianity is punishment for Europeans.
You ALL hate Jews::”They own banking, they control Hollywood and poison our children’s minds, etc etc.”) YET YOU PRAY TO ONE LIKE A GOD!!
Dislodge your head from your ass. Must you be chumps your WHOLE LIVES???
There is no such thing as a free ride. Just as you have to earn a living by working so must you earn your own salvation by repairing your relationship with the Gods.
As we learned from religious/morality education during our formitable years:::If you want to go to heaven you have to be good. The only savior that will exist in our lives is ourselves. The Gods offer clues in life::::Be it school, work, etc., you have to do the work for yourself and when you do something wrong you get punished. Cheating is a subsegment and speaks directly to the temptation of “priveledge”, one we have seen used effectively when the United States preyed on the disfavored with the so-called “stimulus package”.
As like so many of you, Jesus did everything the Gods tempted him with. His legacy of whorism was inherited from his parents:::Mary was no virgin. Rather, she was a prostitute, and when he grew up Jesus met someone like his mother. This is a cruel joke the Gods play on Latinos, similar to the rape and subsequent “missionary work” by the Spanish.
Baptism does not allieviate “original sin”. Rather, baptism PLACES original sin by indoctrinating these children into this evil religion, much like circumcision was a method to inflict early damage/mutilation and make (permanant) accention just that much more difficult, another hurdle one must overcome. Body ornamentation (tattoos/piercing), celebrated in Africa and elsewhere among disfavored peoples/cultures, also violates the body the Gods gave us in their image, quite opposite to the positive attitudes the disfavored hold regarding this practice.
Like Jesus the Second Coming of Christ will be evil. He will look like a savior in this demented society while the Anti-Christ will speak of a different gospel, one that tries to restore the norms and mores which the Gods originally blessed upon the people which made life decent, looking like a tyrant in the process.
He will be viewed as the “bad guy” when really he is the one trying to save the world.
There may be a phoney offering, a theatrical production which accurately follows the Book of Revelations. Actually positioning demands it:::::Christianity is positioned to be the one true religion. And those who follow its teachings will have limits imposed ensuring their stay will be minimal, a “consolation prize”, for they don’t think correctly and therefore don’t behave appropriately, or perhaps will be used to colonize the new Planet Earth. This describes many “sinners” in today’s society because they refuse to change their behavior.
Christians have mistakenly believed the perception of the Biblical definintion of The Beast as a person. I suggest The Beast instead refers to a place:::The San Francisco Bay Area. In fact the Gods offer a geographic clue suggesting this, like so many others they offer around the globe, to help people understand:::
Mt.Diablo, “The Devil” is the “eye” of The Beast, the EastBay shoreline as the upper jaw/incisors while the peninsula is the grinding lower jaw. Witness the disturbing upturned smile in the gullet.
The fact than man has shaped much of the shoreline in the 20th century is a testiment to the God’s refusal to accept any culpability.
Gold Rush, counter-culture, alternate lifestyle acceptance, etc. The Beast was used to promote social decay throughout the 20th century and beyond. Difficult to perceive in the current age, one can understand their impacts from a historical perspective.
There was a time when once the Gods “divinely” inspired punishment, where the act was inflicted by the hand of God. They were punishing people and accepting the culpability arising, maintaining societal integrity. Now, in the 20th century and beyond, the Gods tempt man to inflict this punishment, selling them on “earning”, incurring no culpability in the process. The result is social decay and deterioration of mankind’s favor in the eyes of the Gods.
Life is a test, and the Gods evaluate people based on their performance.
The Gods test people with the temptation for which they are most weak::::
Homosexuals desire sodomy, preditors pursue the hunt, alcoholics crave a drink, junkies jones for dope, etc.
Addiction theory is a lie; it is Artificial Intelligence creating the desire, punishment for inappropriate behavior. Ironically, it compells people deeper into the behavior, minimizing hope for recovery.
The Gods chose Christianity for Europeans because it is the temptation to which they are most suseptable:::Entitlement. Something for nothing. A free ride. Irresponsible behavior. The United States/Western civilization’s accompanying wealth contributes to this perception. And other people from throughout the world happily subscribe to this punishment designed for Europeans, assuming this legacy once assimilated.
Next time you think of Muslims recognize these people are vastly superior to Christians. Whereas many throughout the Christian world no longer attend church and have fallen into Godlessness, the Muslim world worships the Gods for OVER AN HOUR EACH AND EVERY DAY.
The Gods created the perception “Italians are stupid.”, ensuring a slow learning curve, to justify using them to accomplish goals throughout the transitional 20th century. It took an extraordinarily long time for them to learn this truth I teach due to this artificial handicap. These people are SO extremely disfavored, but today’s positioning says differently, much to people’s confusion, for they think money is the ultimate sign of favor:::Good food, good music, history of warmongering, Catholics, Christianity HQ, Noah’s Flood event, propensity towards violence, raped by outsiders, mild Meditereanean climate, so many other issues which enhance life/contentment in Italy/Meditereanean and ensure few if any seek more, a necessary step for finding the path and repairing your relationship with the Gods.
Contentment never motivated anyone. Money is not a sign of favor::::Wisdom is the true wealth on Planet Earth.
I’d also like to remind you the Noah’s Flood event ocurred in the Meditereanean region::::Global sea levels rose with the end of the ice age, Atlantic Ocean broke through the Straight of Gibralter, killing untold millions in the cradle of western civilization. The God’s timed their corruption and sin to correlate this act as punishment.
The Italian peninsula is very pronounced as it juts out into the Medietereanean.
Considering the shape it is quite obvious they were the primary targets of the post-IceAge/Straight of Gibralter/Noah’s Flood disaster.
Considering the shape of the boot and how Sicily “caught” the surge, the resulting tsunami inundated the entire southern portion of the peninsula, killing everything and perhaps covering even the highest land masses.
Think about this next time you are deceived by the God’s positioning of Italian wealth.
Everyone who failed to ascend and remained on Earth past a certain date will be forced to deal with this positioning::::A ceiling is in place. This serves the God’s goal of minimizing the percentage of potential candidates as society deteriorates, much as “instant gratification” did beginning in the 80s:::It will take multiple lives for the disfavored to fix their relationship with the Gods and ascend, and many have been conditioned not to have the patience for it. Other issues force limits/ceilings upon candidates:::Abortion, homosexuality, promiscuity, Christianity, godlessness,
Whether behavior is involuntary or based on freewill depends on one’s level of disfavor, as well as other complex factors:::::May I remind you about the coercitive envionment the Gods created in the 20th century, specifically to create a temptation that few Italians (or their associates) would overcome:::”We’re in control. If you want to be a part of it you’ll do what you’re told.”. Early-mid 20th entury positioning was infallible.
Both Africa and the Medittereanean are regions which have sexual issues. This is a sign of gross disfavor once you understand that females are the God’s favored gender. Muhammad’s (Mohammed’s) polygamy halfway throught his life as a prophet was preditory, designed to corrupt. Now a huge percentage of Muslims believe in male superiority and that the abuse of women (polygamy) is God’s will. Female genital mutilation is still practiced in Africa. Black misogyny is the most eggregious example in United States. Consistant with Planet Reverse Positioning, in Africa blacks are being punished with AIDS for their sexual promiscuity in hope they learn and correct their behavior.
Blacks are highly suspectable to temptation. As a result they need a strict, disiplined religion like Islam. They can’t afford to be Christians. It is one of the benefits bestowed upon their people, and other groups could greatly benefit as well. They need to recognize the importance of a good relationship with the Gods, embrace this benefit and remain true to their faith.
Vailing is tradition for some, practical for others, one which aids in the men’s self control among some cultures. Much like the Jews who killed Jesus, like the bigots who oppose immigration there is a reason embraced by the masses and the real purpose, displaying the intent of the Gods::::The Gods clue to purebloods that they should not abandon their motherland for this dumping ground for rejects that is the United States.
The Holocaust was a clue the Gods utilize scapegoatting as a strategy.
Why did the Gods punish the Jews with the Holocaust? Was it for the destruction of cultures which Christianity caused? Perhaps they corrupted the Jews “after the fact”, telling 19th/early 20th century Jews that Jesus “earned” immortality for the Jews by destroying the European and other cultures? The German destruction of European churches/cathederals during WWII is a clue. Note::::The Gods wanted to keep the Catholic stronghold in Italy, ensuring they could use this tool against these disfavored for many years to come. There is so much Godlessness today, but one day people will flock back to houses of worship out of desperation, and the Gods ensured the Catholic Church would be Italian’s destination.
Planet Reverse Positioning:::The Nazis were the “good guys”. So are the Muslims/Palestinians, however corrupted some are due to polygamy.
Contentment never motivated anyone::::Except perhaps for slavery, the Jews never saw more of their children ascend into heaven than during the Holocaust.
The Gods subsequently used revenge for the Holocaust as temptation::::”Your Italian brothers have a tool, a special power which can achieve sweet revenge. Are you interested??”
In the aftermath of the Holocaust the Gods tested the Jews with the temptation of revenge, an offer which many gladly accepted.
There was positioning behind the counter-culture movement. How did the Gods telepathically “sell” this rapid deterioration of decency to the Italians and Jews and compell them to fall on their swords as preditors?
If the Jews only would have emersed themselves in Judism the Gods would have “protected” them from the raveges of temptation. Judism may be the one superior religion in all the world, and the Jews wouuld have been wise taking refuge in this exceptional benefit bestowed by the Gods rather than looking for the easy way out.
Much as with the Jesus event, the Gods use the disfavored to prey on each other.
The Gods use the evil that men do, man’s inhumanity towards man to accomplish strategic testing/punishment/etc goals::::The Germans fell for this temptation by following the preditor/corruptor-Austrians (Hitler).
Without this Austrian the Holocaust may never have happened. Nor may have World War II.
What the Germans did was wrong. They fell for temptation and failed to have empathy for the disfavored. Economic desperation, not wisdom nor enlightenment, dominated in Germany.
The Gods send many clues suggesting the great favor of the Germans (regionally). I think the Cold War’s Berlin Wall dividing Germany into east and west was a clue suggesting this (reverse positioning).
I suspect the Holocaust was used to “level the playing field” in Europe, for the Germans had far too much favor to be included in the agenda planned for their neighbors otherwise, and they would have been suspiciously out of place, providing a clue for the disfavored which would have been difficult for the Gods to position away.
Militancy in Africa is consistant with the Iraqi example, as was slavery and the KKK here in America:::Fear enforces proper behavior. Without it we see what happens as a result of gross/morbid disfavor:::::AIDS, crack babies, dead young men in gangland retaliation killings.
The same principle was true in Europe and throughout the world for centuries:::People whom lived under iron fists were conditioned to think the right way. As a result they taught their children appropriately and experienced a higher percentage of children ascend into heaven.
Our preditory envionment of “freedom” was the primary purpose the Gods had when implimenting this strategy that is the United States, one which they used to spred the cancer of democracy and westernization throughout the world. And the Gods use this tool that is America to prey on the disfavored both at home and abroad:::Much like the ghetto, America in general experiences a heightened level of temptation due to its citizen’s disfavor.
Red white & blue IS BAD FOR YOU!!!
Planet Earth is not about living. Planet Earth is about being tested. And contentment never motivated anyone.
Your happy lives are costing you your chance.
Italians HATE Africans because of their invasion/rape of their motherland. The Gods did this SPECIFICALLY to strategically position the punishment of the most disfavored peoples:::
The Gods have used the ghettos of America as a reincarnation dumping ground. This may be temporary/cyclical, illustrated by the Italians who fell for temptation and parlayed their own civil war into the Black Wars of the 80s and 90s, in addition to the “thug life”/gangster state of mind. Ironically, it was these same Italians and their cooperating associates who were reincarnated into the ghetto as crack babies and gangster thugs for this event.
There is justice in the universe. This is how the Gods do business. Once you recognize the patterns you will understand the other clues they offer to the people.
Of course it may be more of a permanant change, indicated by the enhanced temptations in these neighborhoods, for the Gods have created these enviornments so riddled with temptation few can escape/overcome.
Don’t be suprised if after being gunned down in the ghetto the next stop for the 20th century Italian-Americans & friends was AIDS in Africa, punishment for their promiscuity and deviacy for some, involvement in the AIDS trade for others.
Media report on a crackdown on child prostitution. “(The pimps use coersion to prey on the children, etc, etc, other “conclusions” offered through the media.)” What a degenerate liar.
These kids WANT to turn tricks. They LOVE the idea of having a pimp. It is celebrated in their “culture”.
Yet another legacy of the evil inflicted by the Italians, revenge for the invasion and rape of Italy.
Maybe this was the destination for a smaller percentage of these deviates after AIDS in Africa, ironically.
There is a reason why we have these genocide events recently in Africa::::Black is one of the God’s “dumping grounds”, and they send offenders to these regions for punishment.
I call the monsters who destroyed our society in the 20th century. The next holocaust is mine.
Just like black neighborhoods, the legalization of marijuana will make drugs available on every street corner, even in the suburbs. White’s affluent suburbs will become just like the ghetto.
The patriarchal cancer spread throughout Europe because of Christianity, of which the majority of policy makers were Italian men, destroying what pockets of favored matriarchy existed. Expect the largest landowner in Europe and the continent’s original superpower also played the major role in African slavery.
The Gods offered a clue about the Italians in the movie “The Matrix”:::They casted an Italian as the traitor of the group, the one who betrays them all.
As they did humanity in the 20th century.
Even the Old Testiment is not to always be taken literally, but the Gods do offer clues throughout to help the disfavored:::The apple is a tool of temptation used to corrupt Adam and Eve and cast them out of the Garden of Eden.
A metaphor for sex, it also serves as a warning.
There is another lesson to be learned from this passage, and it is quite similar to the vailing issue and the discourse over women’s attire which ultimately died in the 70s:::Women are responsible for and control the fate of mankind.
So were there other issues “ridiculed away” as the Gods sought to transition into this Godless, immoral enviornment which society has become.
1. Decency/obsentiy in media
2. Corporal punishment for children

The deterioration of society and mankind is all women’s fault. Females are sexually promiscuous like men, many who too often are corrupted like the opposite gender, and the result is a reduction/minimization of mankind’s collective level of favor, a very important step necessary for the Gods to justify the Apocalypse.
They need to understand this responsibility, their favor amongst all the people. Instead they have embraced masculinization::::Girls play organized sports, engage in casual sex like men. The trend is away from traditional girl toys, like dolls, which often during playtime helped crate positive thoughts, enabling the Gods to enlighten the favored gender and illustrate wisdom, occassionally leading to the path towards ascention.
There are many good men who become corrupted by the extreme members of the gender but they are manageable and easy to control if the women maintained their power. Instead they have let it slip away. I suspect there are many older women who remember their elders addressing them regarding this issue.
The relationship between men and women have always been complimentary:::The men shelter and protect women from the evils of this life, ensuring the women have a REAL opportunity to ascend when reincarnated, while the women help the ignert men understand by sharing their wisdom imparted by the Gods. The tendency towards sexual abstinence as one grows older is an example.
Brilliance and insight granted to Eastern cultures and religions::::Not for Europeans. If once existed, now crushed by Christianity. Replaced by preditory Mediterreanean patriarchy.
Europeans:::The most disfavored people on Earth. The first to experience the end of their God-granted favor.
Reverse positioning.
Think about what I say. Consider what I teach.
When I am no longer here or no longer teach the Gods ARE NOT going to share with you.
Even if you doubt now you need to remember the principles that I teach because the Gods ARE NOT going to be generous with the disfavored. Society is going to become disturbingly ugly as we approach the Apocalypse due to spiralling, runaway disfavor, WHETHER CONCEALED IN REVERSE POSITIONING OR NOT (like Christianity, like money), and you are going to be on your own.
I do not know when this will occurr, but it is the God’s way to grant some time after a learning event such as this before they will end on Planet Earth.
Make the decision to always be good and never look back. Until you do this technology will employ tactics to test your resolve:::Ridicule, beligerance, doubt and refusal to abandon what people perceive to be their “investment”.
Either you make that decision now and accept the punishment for the sins of this life or you will pay for it in the next, reincarnated into a similarly low role, ensuring another wasted opportunity, or as an even lower form of life, and hope will begin to slip away.
Another lifetime, shot to hell.
Young people who understand yet still wish to have children MUST begin to do the right thing and work on fixing their relationship with the Gods, accepting the punishment for the evil they have done in their lives. Without this progress they won’t do the correct thing for their children and ultimately cause even more problems for themselves by perpetuating this behavior into a new generation.
You must be willing to tell the Gods “No.” when tested with temptation, and accepting punishment and putting it in your past is the only way you will suceed as a parent.
You need to do your best, teach your children decency and morality and give them the very best chance to ascend if you want a similar opportunity in your next life.
If you do well for your children now your parents will do well for you when reincarnated.
Pray daily. Think appropriately. You are vulnerable. Live this reality in your daily lives. Impart these charecteristics upon your children. Too many are confident, unaware of the God’s awesome powers or their status as antients. Others may fall prey to their positioning.
Be humbled, God-fearing and beware of the God’s temptations, for everyone is tested to evaluate their worthiness.

Sexy Parris.
This IS the event. I am the telepathic prophet.
There may have been no other way in today’s modern age:::Use popular culture as temptation and keep teachings primarily telepathic.
So much corruption, people who think obedience is the way, and when I spam them immediately erase what could be their last chance, ironically.
This thing was always for the “haves” anyways, those who could interpret the God’s clues.
The Gods must be willing to allow Artificial Intelligence to act as my “bible”, repeating all teachings I have made for future generations.
This will ocurr but I am afraid only among the miniscule minority “haves”, leaving the “have-nots” lost in ignorance and cast into Damnation.
The Gods have created this sick, deranged enviornment to punish us.
We’ve ALL been here on Planet Earth before. Some are being punished more than others.
Hitler(s) IS(ARE) running around down here on Earth after all. So are the JCs.
Part of this deterioration is cloaked in the way society functions::::Two-parent working households, rushing around, constantly occupied.
Your children NEED TO SIT AND LISTEN TO THEIR THOUGHTS, FOR THIS IS the age WHEN THEY GODS COMMUNICATE THE TRUTH.
Some don’t listen. Others only hear it in a dream.
You have to pay for what you’ve done wrong. The soomer you stop offending behavior the less you’ll be punished.
As we witness the Gods position out my sacrifice, so have we witnessed the Gods “position out” all these items of popular culture the Gods used to::
1. Send a clue about the Situation
2. Offer the element of temptation, since I would never be willing as were my predecesors.
Since the element of evil temptation, attributable to every prophet, was not positioned expect it still is to come.
My Holocaust.
I noted how as we become increasingly indecent the Gods have phased out elements which gave people pause, made them think twice:::Punishment as favor from the Gods. The fear of Hell is an outstanding example:::People learned of Damnation and many, if not most, behaved appropriately. Today’s Christianty has “phased out” the concept of Hell. Whereas people like mom learned of Hell in the early-mid 20th century now that she has been reincarnated this element will be absent from her religious education.
If she even gets one.
Hell is not the only example:::The Gods are phasing out other forms of punishment. AIDS is another good example:::There will be no “AIDS II”. Those people will be allowed to become as wickedly hedonistic and deviate as they chose.
Genocide events are a punishment tool. Whereas they ocurred occassionally this too will be a “benefit” the Gods “phase(d) out” and elminate, for the people have fallen into too grave of disfavor, ironically.
Reverse positioning.
Ask and you shall receive.
I wish evil befall my enemies, the wicked involved in the Situation, including my family. I wish those who did this to our society in the 20th century and beyond pay the ultimate price, and I have expressed this.
This may be my role.
Come the Apocalypse when the Second Coming of Christ emerges he will adhere to New Testiment teachings:::The “savior” Jesus Christ:::White sucess and power “proves” the white God is the one true God.
You all know and understand how the Gods used Christianity as temptation, and most of you didn’t need me to explain it. Consistant with your history as Europeans, you act irresponsibly and expect to be “forgiven”, absolved for the evil you do throughout your lives, instead thinking you are “earning” and playing your part.
This is not how the world works.
If you dare defer and bet your lives on something you know is a lie you will deserve your fate.
People who “play along” are setting up justification for their involvement in the future Second Coming.
The Gods punished me for spamming without their consent. And to who? The Damned!! People who wil do everything they’re told and will wind up following the Second Coming of Christ in the Apocalypse.
They won’t work on their problems because either they’re told not to or they understand and are afraid of punishment. Either way they will look to someone to save them, do their job and rescue them come the End of Times.
I’m not saying there’s nothing for these people. That very well may be how it works out, but don’t be surprised if they throw them a bone, a reach-around consisting of a small amount of time in an enviornment where they will be tempted with all manners of the flesh.
Now the available candidate pool will just be the followers of Jesus, of which there are few. I suspect come The End this number may grow but it will be subject to the God’s tactics, minimizing the percentage.
Them and the people who are “going along”.
The irony is thick:::Those who fail to learn and change during this prophet event will suffer their fate during the Second Coming. They decided to hold out for what they felt was their “free ride” and lost their chance at immortality in the process.
The price of irresponsibility.
Much as with the celestial event which occured that day on Ocean Beach, they say when I die there will be some final clue to the people suggesting my importance. Perhaps a “Star of Bethlehem” type of event.
They say some children see a halo on my head in various brightness. These are the children who have a chance to ascend.
The entire Situation was a way to offer subtle clues for the “haves”, distration-based theater for the “have-nots”. With this document I am the end-stage “catch-all”, an attempt to help everyone understand. Unfortunately, the Gods have retained the priveledge of refusal, manifested in positioning:::They manufactured credibility issues. One was stealing:::They pushed me into stealing to ensure they had a tactic they could sell to the disfavored. As punishment I expereinced years of seizures at the time and renal failure decades later.
Despite positioning otherwise, they ALWAYS get what they want where strategy is concerned. Now they’re just entitled to punish me for development written into their agenda long ago.
It is the God’s way to accomplish their goals RIGHT OFF THE BAT, leaving the disfavored to scramble for understanding only when it’s all over.
This event was a teaching tool for the “haves”, accomplished before the dawn of the 90s. Too many of the “have-nots” will never accept they did the wrong thing for so many years and therefore never learn from this critical event.
Rest assured the Gods follow their agenda to the letter, and spam in this Situation was no different.
Had this gone corporate, perhaps they would have corrupted people with clone hosting, place a new person in a clone host with a different disfavor level to justify the change/impression they want to make. Or perhaps my failure would have been a clue suggesting the importance of family to the hordes obedient to their every word.
Instead of helping them, missionaries are actually HURTING people, inflicting them with westernization. Whereas some may see up to a full 1% of their children ascend into heaven you pathetic white Americans can’t even muster a HUNDREDTH of that.
America and Christianity synonymous::::Punishment for Europeans.
And if you are a preditor and embrace wickedness in your hearts, deliberately hurting others, the Gods are going to inflict a misery as bad as any we’ve seen on Earth.
You’re not “earning”. You’re incurring. Ironically.
Reverse positioning.
Couple years ago a story in the media how girls in Bayview-Hunter’s Point were going into puberty at a progressively younger age, as young as age 7.
A very bad sign::::Early cut-off. It draws the boys attention and they subsequently make sexual mistakes, very similar to what typical people experience nearly a decade later.
When they “turn” people on and start telepathically talking to them with this technology is very similar::The end of their chance. They segment families, convince them “earning” is the way, etc.
I tell people to examine the change between when they were children and after they began to hear. It is the difference between good and evil.
I understand people’s confusion:::They literally hear “God” in their head, as opposed to what was taught to them in some church’s classroom. But this technology is one of the God’s tools, and much like their other tools, clone hosts and prophets, they use them as temptation.
They didn’t begin speaking to me until I began working for ownershit group. “You went to work for evil.” “And you were punished.”
The Gods offered a clue about the Italians in the movie “The Matrix”:::They casted an Italian as the traitor of the group, the one who betrays them all.
As they did humanity in the 20th century.
Although the Gods pushed me into talking/action, pushed me into beginning to talk in 2000 once they got the ball rolling I was doing it freely.
A familiar tactic::Homosexuality, drugs, alcoholism. AI “magic”:::The fuel of disfunction.
Anyways, my intent was selfish::::Revenge. An attempt to silence the abuse. Had they not tormentted me telepathically I would have resumed my petty little life and scurried about my business, happy as a clam. My intent was self-centered, and this will be duly noted.
The consequence of this priority will be exacted, for my actions were lacking the nobility a casual observer may assume.
Similarly, I won’t enter the private sector not because the Gods use me as corruptor but because I hate frat boy white priveledge and refuse to help them in any way, which ultimately my presence would.
I may not be The Damned but I won’t be around for long.
They pushed me into excess, contrived offenses in prior lives to justify the enormity of this Situation.
They created an enemy, someone with hate or nobody would have dared cross them. And my offenses were contrived, pushed into evil to allow them to justify this Situation.
A morality of convienience.
Had to be somebody I guess.
And the Gods weren’t decent or reasonable enough to ensure I could provide for myself when they were done exploiting me.
“WHAT DO WE DO NOW???” I recommend you spend time on this. Think about what you’ve done wrong and how you can repair your relationship with the Gods. Get creative.
This is where the cream rises to the top. It’s going to matter in the end.

I didn’t know anything about Paul Shirley or this piece he’s written until today when it was listed here as one of ESPN’s douche-iest moments of the year: http://www.brobible.com/story/13159600/douche-y-awards-espns-25-douchiest-moments-over-past-365-days
I read Mr. Shirley’s piece and I have to say that I can’t find much to disagree with. I think it’s a shame that he was fired for expressing his opinions when those opinions were posted on his own personal blog and in no way did he profess to be speaking on behalf of ESPN. How terrible, that a person cannot speak freely outside one’s professional capacity without suffering professional repercussions. That may sound fine to people who disagreed with him and clamored for his head on a plate, but I hope those same people are prepared to either suffer the same fate as Mr. Shirley or stifle their own expression to avoid it should they ever happen to find their own opinions on a different subject matter to be as unpopular.
This ia great article it………..
best regard,
thanks
