December 23, 2003 journal, California earthquake, real truth about Christmas, your veins.  It was reported this morning on CBS that the government is setting anti-aircraft missiles around cities to shoot down planes that may be hijacked before they can hit their targets.  I would say it is time to stop flying.  Code orange alert is being sounded to frighten for the  holidays.  18,000 police state facilities have been alerted to be prepared.  Anthrax (risky) vaccinations have been mandated for all military personnel and 500 have refused to take this corporate profit making vaccination with many of them court-martialed until a judge has ruled that they could not be forced to take the shot.  Still some people think we are living in a utopia and are about to settle all of the world's problems and all live happily. Just drink Coca-Cola laid back and let it all happen to you without a worry in the world. I continue quoting from the article entitled the true meaning of Christmas by Hsing Lee. "Coca-Cola insist that there is no actual cocaine in their product.  But there are still processed cocoa leaves in Coca-Cola, reference narconews.com/issue26/article569.html> “This week Bolivia’s undersecretary of social defense, Ernesto Justiniano reported that his office had authorized the exportation of 350,000 bricks, about 159 tons of cocoa leaves to the United States "for the manufacturing of the soft drink Coca-Cola".  “Three years ago the Brazilian Daily Sao de Paulo reported that an affiliate of Coca-Cola in Brazil bought large quantities of coca leaves in Bolivia.  However, the sale was never made directly: a chemical products laboratory making flavors and other products, a subsidiary of the multinational Monsanto, was in charge of buying and processing the coca leafs, that was then sold to the owners of the dark colored soft drink as a mixture, then, as now, Coca-Cola denied that it uses coca leaf to manufacture "the real thing", it seems that the same is occurring today".  “These purchase and processing operations are closely monitored by Bolivia by the General Cocoa control and auditing board (Digeco, in its Spanish acronym) home and in the United States, of course, by the DEA, which includes providing the warehouses with sophisticated alarm systems and storage caskets for this curious treasure in New Jersey.  This suggests an irony: a government wants to eradicate an Andean  vegetable from the planet and, at the same time, use it within its own territory for medicine and food products".  I cannot confirm that I agree with all of this as fact, I believe some is. This is Coca-Cola’s Santa Claus Christmas and is for profit more than for joy and peace. The church as the schools have joined in on this enterprise for profits and worship Santa. "Who do you think is footing the bill to store the cocoa leaf under DEA lock and key? My money is on the taxpayer.  Santa like the 41st & 43rd presidents of the United States of America sells cocoa to little kids for a living.  Everything about our modern day Christmas revolves around commercialism.  It's even being suggested now that going to the nearest shopping mall can cure all one's woes, from economic decline to terrorism.  Remember that cynical saying from a generation ago?  When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.  Further proof of just how deeply the fascist corporate culture is entrenched into the brains of Americans can be found in the latest "right" wing campaign against Miramax, for their upcoming film ‘Bad Santa’.  Reference <www.drudgereport.com/mattsb.hmt>. Disney’s new Santa Claus “drinks, robs, swears and has sex".  I am a believer in Christ as Lord and God of all.  I believe in creation and I serve the living God, Lord of my life and ever present with me everyday every hour and minute I live.  I praise the Lord for his goodness and mercy and I pray for wisdom and knowledge to witness for all eternity. Let the heathen rage and Santa prevail until the coming of Christ the Messiah for peace.
