This article is written to let you know there are so much wrongdoings — sins in this world, and point the Savior of mankind to you so you can obtain the blessings of salvation.
Lev 19:35, “You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight, or volume.”
Billions of peoples in the world do wrong in judgment, in measurement of what is weighty or important. Billions of peoples do wrong, do wrong in the way they live, do wrong in the way they think, do wrong in the way they speak, do wrong in the way they behave — and yet they are not conscious that they are wrong, they have done wrong, or they do the wrong way.
This article is written so that anyone may know the exact truth about the things that you may have done wrong and change or improve. I was young and now I am old. I have sought wisdom from childhood. I have traveled a lot to see, experience and observe the peoples of many nations. Although I am not like Moses who was “educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians”, I have learned the wisdom of the West and the East. Besides my writings do not have money motive. If you listen to my advice, I do not earn anything; if you reject my suggestions, I do not lose anything.
Gen 16:5, “So Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong
done to me be upon you! I put my slave woman into your arms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was insignificant in her sight. May the LORD judge between you and me.”
The slave woman was wrong to treat her mistress insignificant in her sight.
Gen 44:5, “Is this not that from which my lord drinks, and which he indeed uses for divination? You have done wrong in doing this!’”
The brothers were found wrong to take the cup of Joseph.
INTRODUCTION
Gen 50:15, “When Joseph’s brothers had seen that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all the wrong which we did to him!”
After the death of their father, Joseph’s brothers were afraid that Joseph might pay them back in full for all the wrong which they did to him.
Gen 50:17, “This is what you shall say to Joseph: “Please forgive, I beg you, the offense of your brothers and their sin, for they did you wrong.”’ And now, please forgive the offense of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.”
Lev 4:13, “Now if the entire congregation of Israel does wrong unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty.”
Lev 19:33, “When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.”
Lev 25:14, “Furthermore, if you make a sale to your friend, or buy from your friend’s hand, you shall not wrong one another.
Lev 25:17, “So you shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.”
Those who fear God do not do wrong and do not wrongdoing.
Num 15:30, “But the person who does wrong defiantly, whether he is a native or a stranger, that one is blaspheming the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.”
Under the law, the person who does wrong defiantly is blaspheming the Lord; and that person shall be cut off.
2Sa 7:14, “I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; when he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and with strokes of sons of mankind.”
A father must discipline his children when they do wrong. The most pathetic to watch in America when a mother defends her son by saying, “He is a good boy.” A good boy who kills another. Many sinners do not repent that they have sinned and done wrong, they have acted wickedly.
Job 34:32, “Teach me what I do not see;
If I have done wrong, I will not do it again’?
Elihu had the right attitude, “Teach me what I do not see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.”
Jhn 18:23, “Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken
wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”
Jesus said to one of the officers, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but it rightly, why do you strike Me?”
Act 25:11, “If, therefore, I am in the wrong and have committed something deserving death, I am not trying to avoid execution; but if there is nothing to the accusations which these men are bringing
against me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
Apostle Paul in self-defence stated if he is in the wrong and has committed something deserving death, he will not trying to avoid execution. Capital punishment was instituted by God, some liberals with crocodile tears want to abolish death penalty. It is wrong for some European nations that claim to be Christians to abolish death penalty.
Rev 22:11, “Let the one who does wrong still do
wrong, and the one who is filthy still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous still practice righteousness, and the one who is holy still keep himself holy.”
Jesus Christ has His final words for His followers cited above. For the time is short, Jesus is coming quickly. Rev 22:12, “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to reward each one as his work deserves.”
I. WHAT IS WRONG
Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God in eating the forbidden fruit. Consequently, they know what is good and evil. Right is good, wrong is evil. It is easier to define wrongdoing than wrong. Wrongdoing is something concrete, wrong is abstract.
It is much easier to do wrong, it is difficult to do right — this alone is sufficient to prove the human nature is bad. There was a famous story about the mother of Mencius who moved three times to avoid the bad influence of their neighborhood on her son.
“THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SAID,
‘THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS’”
God is angry with mankind because they always go astray in their heart and they do not know the way of God.
A European leader said something very wrong,
Western leaders and politicians do not seem to realize they are the greatest evil in our world for hundreds of years. The US, EU, NATO, UK, GANG-7, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, and Japan pose the greatest threat to the free world.
Washington Irving has a point in observation, “With every exertion, the best of men can do but a moderate amount of good; but it seems in the power of the most contemptible individual to do incalculable mischief.”
A drop of black ink can pollute the who class of clean water.
Bertrand Russel had a point, “Most of the greatest evils that man has inflicted upon man have come through people feeling quite certain about something which, in fact, was false.”
Western leaders, politicians, mass media have inflicted upon the whole world by believing the threat of Russia and China as something true although they are false.
Someone was so wrong to say, “People are not evil; they are schlemiels.”
Judas was no schlemiel. Hitler was no schlemiel. Dictators, corrupt leaders and politicians, liars, murderers, robbers, rapists, terrorists, pimps and prostitutes, fraudulent doctors and hospital owners, Wall Street executives are not schlemiels.
I agree with Voltaire who said, “Men use thought
only to justify their wrong doings, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.”
Wrong doings are wrong doings, no way to justify.
Someone was so wrong to say, “Any action is better than no action at all.”
This kind of thinking is like to say poison is better than no medicine. Wrong action can never be justified as an action.
Once I ask someone on the street about the way to a certain destination. The one gave the wrong answer and wasted my walking. But if you follow the wrong way, you can never get to the right destination. 82% of Americans know for sure America is going the wrong way, but American leaders and politicians do not see eye to eye, so they continue merrily their wrong way. By following the American way, Europe and the world suffer high inflation and energy crisis.
I do not know James E. Faust who said, “Making a wrong choice early may limit making the right choice later.”
The consequence of making wrong early choice may ruin your whole life. There are certain wrong paths that one cannot return to the right path. There is such a thing which is called the point of no return. If you accidentally arrive in Hell, there is no way back or out.
I do not know who Kevin DeYoung was, but I agree with what he said, “You can think too highly of your interpretations of Scripture, but you cannot think too highly of Scriptures interpretation of itself. You can exaggerate your authority in handling the Scriptures, but you cannot exaggerate the Scriptures authority to handle you. You can use the word of God to come to wrong conclusions, but you cannot find any wrong conclusions in the word of God.”
Noah Webster had a point for all to remember, “The freedom of the press is a valuable privilege, but the abuse of it in this country is a frightful evil. The licentiousness of the press is a deep stain upon the character of the country; and in addition to the evil of calumniating good men and giving a wrong direction to public measures, it corrupts the people by rendering them insensible to the value of truth and of reputation.”
The frightful evil of mass media, including TV false commercials, fake news and false statements by leaders and politicians, frauds in the Internet, and the way emails are used by crooks and criminals all over the world is immeasurable.
Louis J. Freeh was no other than American attorney
and former judge who served as the fifth Director of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation and he said,
“The problem was with Bill Clinton, the scandals and
rumored scandals, the incubating ones and the dying ones never ended. Whatever moral compass the
president was consulting was leading him in the
wrong direction. His closets were full of skeletons jus waiting to burst out.”
A right moral compass does not lead in the wrong
direction, unless you have a bad eye and evil heart.
II. NATIONAL SYSTEM
The most important thing about a country, any country, is its government. By national system we mean the government. There are many forms of government. After years of study in Political Science, and observations of many forms of government, I have reached a definitive conclusion what is the best government. I am trying to inform the world what is the best type or form of government.
Aristotle’s classification or categorization of government is too simplistic. The so-called 8 types of government, namely: Democracy, Monarchy, Republicanism, Totalitarianism, Fascism, Authoritarianism, Communism (Socialism), and Oligarchy are misleading and confusing.
Let me say Totalitarianism, Fascism, and Authoritarianism are not worthy to comment. However, I deliberately choose Democracy for deliberation and discussion, because it is the most exalted and most propagandized form of government. Almost all leaders and politicians of so-called democratic nations believe if you have a general election and two-party system, you have democracy — this is far from the truth, in fact it is a fallacy that fools the whole world.
I want to tell you what is true democracy. If you really want democracy, the government must have a Constitution that stipulates the national sovereignty lies in the hands of majority of citizens. The majority of citizens (at least 51%) are empowered to decide the national policy and determine the direction even destiny of the nation. 51% of citizens can instantly remove the head of state or any elected or appointed official without impeachment.
Using the United States of America as an example to show the world how to establish a democratic government:
1. Every citizen must register and has a national identity card to facilitate general election and national referendum. Citizens do not need to register as a member of a certain party, he/she registers as a citizen who has the right to vote and participate in a national referendum.
2. Millions of voting machines shall be established all over the United States. American citizens do not go to any particular voting place, they can go directly to any voting machine with their ID card to register their vote, or national referendum. Only Citizens are entitled to vote and participate in National Referendum. Anyone who is not a citizen attempts to vote with a fake ID shall be deported with their family at once.
3. The criminal justices system will execute sentencing of the convicted criminals for a number of years in imprisonment plus how many strokes of Singapore style caning. Caning is used as a punishment to deter crimes and criminals.
4. Any tampering or damage of the voting machine is treated as a felony with monthly caning for punishment in addition to long-term imprisonment.
5. Any inmate must work to earn their food and lodging. Crimes of violence committed in prison shall be punished by caning and additional imprisonment. There is no special right and privilege for inmates. All inmates may have one appeal at their own expenses. There is no special treatment for wealthy inmates.
6. The title of a country may be a kingdom or republic so long it has a Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty lies in the hands of the majority of its citizens.
7. The head of state may be called president, king or queen so long it has a Constitution which stipulates that the national sovereignty lies in the hands of the majority of its citizens, not in the hands of president, king or queen. It is also unimportant whether a nation is a monarchy, kingdom or republic. It is important to know that king or queen are not hereditary, it must be elected. It does not pass on to its descendants. It does not have royal family to receive wages from the state. It applies to one single individual, king or queen. King or queen or president must be elected, they serve only as long as citizens want them to serve. They can be removed or deposed by the majority (at least 51%) of its citizens at any time.
8. The election of the president does not derive from the two-party candidates. A person who gets a minimum votes of 100,000 citizens can be a presidential candidate. In a national debate live on TV, all qualified candidates will participate. The two president candidates who have the largest or highest number of votes will appear on the national ballot.
Who get the final largest number of citizen votes will be elected the president or king or queen. The title of the head of state will be determined by the Citizens.
9. The elected President does not represent any party, it represents the citizens and the whole country, will appoint its cabinet officers outside the party line, based on personal qualifications, abilities and moral character.
10. The current American two parties Democratic and Republican are harmful to American national interests, and therefore stripped of their former functions. Parties do not hold Conventions to elect candidates. Elected officials do not represent parties, only the individuals and the national interest.
11. The United States shall abolish Congress and establish unicameral body of legislation and deliberation called Senate. House of Representatives is thereby abolished to save money and enable fast operations of the government.
12. Each state will qualify to have one Senator, additional population of 5 million will entitle to have another Senator.
13. The United States ceases to be the empire and returns to a respectable and reputable Republic.
14. The United States shall expose the evil of capitalism and its damages to the whole world economy, and establish the responsibility economic system for business, industry and private enterprises to follow. Profit shall not be the only motive of all corporations. Social responsibility takes higher priority and precedence.
15. Corporations shall not be driven by profits only. The CEO of a corporation should not be paid more than 200 times its lowest employees. Profit sharing among employees should be a major corporate policy. An employee may work hard and smart to achieve a permanent employee status in a 5-year period. Usually Permanent Employees will not be laid off.
16. The justice system shall compose different levels of courts. Municipal Court handles civilian cases and misdemeanor at the city level. Each case of Municipal Court is administered by a single judge.
Superior Court handles all felony cases and appeals from Municipal Court in a sate wide operations. The jury system is abolished to be replaced the three independent judges. The opinions of the majority of judges stand. Capital punishment cases have only one appeal to Appellate Court at the expense of the inmate. Appellate Court handles death penalty appeal. Supreme Court is made of justices and the Chief Justice. Supreme Court justices and the Chief Justice must be elected and to be confirmed by citizens every seven years. Supreme Court handles national issues, conflict between states, and matters pertaining to foreign nations. Senate does not have jurisdiction of foreign nations and can never make legislation involving foreign nations.
17. The majority of citizens determine the wages and benefits and pension of president, all federal officials and military, and civilian employees. The former living American presidents will be paid only basic pension without office, library, mail, travel expenses and secret service protection.
18. Declaration of war must be approved by the majority of citizens through National Referendum. President and Senate do not have authority to conduct undeclared war.
19. The United States revises its Constitution and thereby outlaws gun and gun violence. The manufacturing, sale, transportation, and possession of guns are considered a felony. Anyone who commits murder with a gun will be automatically executed by death penalty without appeal. Police brutality in a case of killing a suspect without justification is also considered a murder.
20. The United States ceases to treat Russia and China as an enemy, competitor or rival, and work with all nations to build a better and more prosperous world.
21. The U.S. will return Taiwan to China and return all robbed and looted China’s national treasures during the Opium Wars to the present.
22. The national direction is shifted from warmongering and aggression to international cooperation and abiding by international laws and agreements.
23. The United States ceases to be a warmonger, and stops interfering in the internal affairs of any nation and returns all foreign assets seized.
24. The United States ceases to sanction any nation, and does not hinder the legitimate development of any country.
25. The United States redeems itself by starting to officially apologizing to the American natives, the Red Indians, by reparations and compensations, and also to the victims of America from its inception. Each amount shall be approved in National Referendum by majority of citizens.
26. The United States of America will have the American English as the only official national language to be used publicly in government, education and business, but will not hinder the private use of any foreign language. However, the government shall not provide translation and interpretation services.
27. The United States law codes shall be re-written to reflect the common American language and so simple that it does not require legal interpretation or opinion of a lawyer.
28. The United States shall have the federal laws covering all states, the jury system is abolished to be replaced by three independent judges; class action lawsuit is outlawed and no lawyer will receive any portion or percentage of any award to victim.
29. When local officials commit a crime, they shall not be defended by local governments. Each official is responsible for his/her own behavior. The residents of state and local governments shall not provide free legal representation to crooks and criminals.
30. The US government shall administer justice to all its citizens without discrimination. Affirmative Action is abolished because it is unconstitutional.
31. The department of justice shall establish a fraud agency to watch and prosecute all frauds and fake news committed by TV commercials, mass media, Internet and email. For example, a website has monthly visitors of more than 3 millions, another website deliberately fakes the monthly visitors of 30. The fraudulent website shall be banned for good, its responsible person to be fined and put into prison. No leader or politician or media can deliberately make a false statement on any subject without persecution.
32. The President shall establish National Ombudsman Office, and the Governor shall appoint State Ombudsman Office, County Ombudsman Office and Municipal Ombudsman Office. Each office handles matters within its jurisdiction. They may request the FBI in investigation. All national matters and complaint against national officers shall be handled by the National Ombudsman located in Washington, D.C. For example, when a bank defrauds its customer, it is a national case, the citizen can launch a complaint to National Ombudsman Office without cost. All Ombudsmen are administrative judges who are empowered to punish crook and criminal. Serial cases shall be handled by Superior Court.
33. When a federal official commits a crime, the Department of Justice has duty to determine if the official is worthy to be defended. When a regulator protects the interests of the regulated industries, the official will incur the double penalty.
34. When a federal, state, county and city official commits a crime, the federal, state and local governments do not pay damage award to any victim.
35. The US government shall streamline and downsize the federal departments and agencies to serve the people more effectively, especially Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and the State Department to reduce deficits and national debt.
36. The US government establishes national healthcare insurance scheme to cover every citizen at affordable cost; doctors and hospitals and drug companies cannot monopolize. Management and Budget Agency establishes the fee schedule covering every medication, procedure, equipment and supply. A surgical procedure such as delivery of baby is charged a lump sum of $150 which covers everything. Doctors and hospitals work for the government and the people. Any violations will suffer severe penalty, including capital punishment.
37. The US government will have a Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty lies in the hands of the majority (at least 51%) of its citizens. The majority of its citizens have the right and authority and power to do the following:
A. It does not matter whether a democratic government is headed and led by a president, king or queen.
B. The majority of Citizens are empowered to remove anyone from the office without impeachment; a 51% vote of no confidence is sufficient.
C. The majority of Citizens can change the system of government.
D. The majority of Citizens determine budgets and how money is spent annually.
E. The majority of Citizens will determine the sum and level of national debt.
F. The majority of Citizens will determine the wages and benefits of all government elected and appointed officials, military and civilian employees.
G. The majority of Citizens can censor and outlaw any individual, party, or organization.
H. to establish a national welfare system based on work. Anyone who is on welfare must work for it. A woman is not allowed to have sex with many men not her husband and produce many children they cannot or do not want to support. The woman will be sterilized and her children for adoption, unless she can support herself and children.
I. to implement a national immigration policy, secure the borders, prevent undesirable economic migrants to invade America; and put asylum policy on the hold for 100 years. Illegal aliens will be reported en mass without delay. Children of illegal aliens born in the U.S. are not American citizens.
A. to determine its foreign policy, peace or war.
B. to determine the direction or destiny of the nation.
C. to execute justice, equality, and non-discrimination for all citizens.
D. to determine how the government is administered through centralism or federalism.
E. to divide national territories into provinces or states as the people prefer.
F. to establish a unicameral legislative and deliberative body and to be called Senate.
G. to elect one Senator for each state or province, additional 5 million citizens will be entitled to have another Senator.
H. to establish each province or state to have an elected Governor. There will be no duplication of legislative or deliberate body in each state. There is no such a thing called state laws, the federal government laws apply to all states or provinces.
I. To empower the governor to establish his departments and department heads to support the administration.
I agree with Thomas Jefferson who said, “A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.”
The two greatest threats to civilization are the concentration of power and the concentration of wealth. In American the same elites who rule America have the concentration of power and concentration of wealth.
It is most shocking that John Maynard Keynes said the following, “I work for a Government I despise for ends I think criminal.”
Government must be prevented from wrongdoing so that every citizen may feel proud and happy about their government.
Aldous Huxley was not afraid to tell the truth, “Democracy can hardly be expected to flourish in societies where political and economic power is being progressively concentrated and centralized. But the progress of technology has led and is still leading to just such a concentration and centralization of power.”
I agree with Thomas Jefferson who said, “We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.”

III. ECONOMIC SYSTEM
Just as the United States must discard its imperial system, so it also must abandon its capitalism. The national economic system practiced mostly in the world is capitalism. Capitalism went hand in hand with imperialism practiced by European powers for hundreds of years. There is no need to call for “corporate governance” if the picture of capitalism projects a favorable image. There is denial that Capitalism has done so much evil in the world.
To borrow a sentence from João Romeiro Hermeto,
“Capitalism acts like cancer. It grows unceasingly with complete disregard for humanity or nature.”
It is needless to say that the publicly traded business corporation is a central instrument of the U.S. capitalism. What is the use of publicly traded if the corporation does not make money. It boils down to the fundamental issue of business making profit. A business that does not make money has no reason to exist. The bottom lie reality is the fact business cannot exist without profit. No prostitute can make money without selling her body. Maybe that was the reason why the ancient Chinese looked down at business and considered its lowest status among all professions. The Chinese used to call 奸商 dishonest trader, profiteer. Instead of reforming capitalism, they focus on “corporate governance.”
“Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership
of the means of production and their operation for profit. Central
characteristics of capitalism include capital accumulation,
competitive markets, price system, private property, property
rights recognition, voluntary exchange, and wage labor. In a capitalist
market economy, decision-making and investments are determined by owners of wealth, property, or ability to maneuver capital or production ability in capital and financial markets—whereas prices and the distribution of goods and services are mainly determined by competition in
goods and services markets.”
According to https://www.economicsdiscussion.net/economic-problems/merits-and-demerits-of-capitalistic-system/
Demerits of Capitalistic System:
According to Karl Marx, “Capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction.”
The main demerits of this system are given below:
(i) Labour Exploitation:
The main defect of capitalism is the exploitation of labour. Laborers get less wages in comparison to their working hours. The wages less than their marginal productivity are not sufficient for their livelihood.
(ii) Class Struggle:
A lion’s share of income and resources is controlled by the upper sections of the society, while others remain deprived of the basic amenities of life. Thus, the entire society is divided between ‘haves and ‘have not’s.” Hence, the continuous class struggle spoils the health environment of the economy.
(iii) Wasteful Competition:
Capitalism is a wasteful competition. A lot of money is spent on advertisement and publicity for pushing the sale of the commodity. Its burden ultimately is borne by the poor consumers in the form of increased price.
(iv) Threat of Over-Production:
The production is made on a large scale which cannot be changed in a short period. Therefore, under capitalism, fear of over-production always exists. The Great Depression of 1930s in USA is an example of it.
(v) Economic Fluctuations:
Being automatic in nature, capitalist economy always faces the problem of economic fluctuations and unemployment. This means the state of instability and uncertainty,
(vi) Unbalanced Growth:
All the resources are put only to those channels where there is maximum profit. Other sectors of the economy are neglected. As there is no check on the economic system, the growth is unbalanced in nature.
(vii) No Welfare Activities:
In capitalism, the sole motive is maximum profit, but not the public welfare. Variety of goods are produced according to market demand, not for any welfare activity.
(viii) Monopoly Practices:
This economic system has been criticized on the fact that it develops monopoly activities within the country.”
The real problem of capitalism, I see, is not what Karl Marx said, “Capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction.” The real problem of capitalism is three-pronged: Greed, monopoly and wealth in the hands of the few. These three evils destroy many countries and societies and countless victims.
Louis D. Brandeis warned, “We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.”
Abraham Lincoln said, “These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people.”
If you want to see how capitalists fleece the people, watch the American healthcare system, the organized crime, most expensive in the world, and most fraudulent and predatory.
The funny part is the fact that capitalists do not think they are wrong.
Bertrand Russell had a twisted point in saying, “Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.”
You must have lost your mind in thinking that capitalism is doing well and doing good.
The Internet does not achieve “friction free capitalism”, in fact it becomes the instrument of producing the most outrageous fraud, phishing and scam in the world.
John Maynard Keynes said something pointedly,
George Bernard Shaw said boldly, “With the exception of capitalism, there is nothing so revolting as revolution.”
Do you know any business is within the rules of the game in America? I believe the top management of McDonnell Douglas Corporation practiced the highest ethics and travelled the high way of integrity. Sadly, it made a wrong strategic direction. Had I arrived at the corporation 7 or 10 years earlier and given full powers to make changes, I believe I could have saved the best corporation I had worked for. Worst of all today is the Wall Streets that makes its own rules.
It was Benjamin Harrison who said, “I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process.”
I pity doctors and hospitals and drug companies and insurance companies that make American healthcare system the most costly in the world, most organized crime, most predatory, and most fraudulent that bankrupt many America families and create terror among patients who cannot afford.
A government of corporations by corporations and for corporations cannot last long anywhere and anyway.
Albert Einstein had well said, “This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future.”
IV. CULTURE
With respect to the US government, a bureaucratic culture is so thoroughly saturated with cynicism and disregard for authority. As an American I have duty to speak up what is wrong with my country, although I know very well American leaders and politicians will not adopt my suggestion.
That is why the warning of Arnold Toynbee is so real, “Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.”
I agree with Mahatma Gandhi in saying, “A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.”
You may be shocking if I tell you what are the American cultural values, namely, money, power, and sex. Now the whole world has the same cultural values due to American soft power and mass media.
Walter Lippmann defined culture deeper in saying,
American culture tends to be exclusive. Some years ago I was personally witnessing live on TV a horrible incident that the reporter of NBC called an American born Michelle Kwan, Kwan as foreigner in
comparison to her white competitor Tara Lipinski. The whole saga was known across the nation. The strangest thing is the fact the Blacks consider themselves Americans. That is why you see a Black youth all covered up to conceal his identity with great force pushed an Asian man from behind that he fell face down to the ground and died later. For the same reason I also witnessed a big Black man stamping and pounding on the head and body of a small Asian woman with his feet for nothing while another big Black man was watching from glass door of a store and started closing. I am sure the big Black man who stamping and pounding did not know the Asian woman personally. I also witnessed on TV live several Black men robbed and looted a store of an Asian woman. The strangest thing is the fact that these three incidents did not have any report of their prosecutions. When a black suspect who was suffocated by a white police man was reported live on TV continuously, and the dead black man’s family was awarded $27 million. If you count the yearly earnings of that black man for a lifetime, the black man is not worth that sum of money. This speaks very badly of American criminal justice system and why there have been so many incidents of Blacks attacking Asians without reporting and prosecutions.
Without reforming the American criminal justice system, I am afraid the American society will soon become a jungle compounded with gun violence.
The American counter culture is exactly the opposite of what Matthew Arnold said, “Culture, then, is a study of perfection, and perfection which insists on becoming something rather than in having something, in an inward condition of the mind and spirit, not in an set of circumstances.”
The prevailing American culture focused on having instead of becoming, stressing the outward not the inward.
For decades I have been watching America committing suicide. There was a glimpse of hope during the Nixon Administration for a short period.
Judging from all aspects of American way of life, government and politics, foreign policy of aggression and interference, finance and economy, the two parties, corporate ambition, the military-industrial-security complex, the evil trinity of Washington-Wall Street-Hollywood, counter-culture, gun violence, welfare-mentality, national objective of supremacy, and self-serving bureaucracy, power and wealth in the hands of the few etc… I am an American citizen, it is my duty to point out the problems although I know very well American leaders and politicians will not listen. How can America last another hundred years?
If you want to know the culture of a country, there is a window for you to see through. It is the national TV. TV is a realistic representation of the culture of any country.
V. NATIONAL POLICY
1. The U.S. has no need to project its power globally.
2. The U.S. has no need to destroy Russia and China.
3. The U.S. has no need to dominate and dictate the whole world.
4. The U.S. has no need to sanction Russia and China in order to have prosperity at home.
5. Russia is no threat to America because of the nuclear weapons treaty and the U.S. has no need to seek absolute military superiority over Russia.
6. There is no evidence that China is a threat to America. In fact American foreign policy itself serves as a threat to many nations.
7. By virtue America is an empire with its aggressive policy is a threat to many nations.
8. The quantity and size of America’s nuclear weapons stockpile is too large for defense and security purposes.
9. The so-called threats to U.S. national security are in fact non-existent.
10. The US government spends too much unnecessary money on DOD, DOE, AEC, NNSA, and many secret programs.
11. America does not need to have monopoly in every technology, business, trade, and transportation.
12. The US conducts too much foreign intelligence with respect of too many areas and subjects.
13. The US violates the sovereignties of too many nations by interfering of their internal matters.
14. The US unlawfully seized and frozen the assets of too many nations.
15. In the name of national security and defense, the US has too many departments and agencies.
16. The defense and national security consume out of proportion too much of American budgets and resources.
17. The abundance of American defense and security departments and agencies and secret programs, and under the blanket of national security, they may have adulterous relationship and liaison to breed and foster each other over and above the national objective.
18. The levels of secrecy of American nuclear weapons, biological weapons and chemical weapons are not beneficial or needed.
19. The US is unwise to reject the international agreement on control and proliferation of nuclear weapons.
20. The US has a very large and dysfunctional and self-serving bureaucracy that has been proven it is incapable of reforming itself.
21. Accountability of the US government has been spread so thinly and ineffectively and erratically that is now almost impossible to find any evidence.
VI. EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
Albert Einstein gained respectability in pointing out the truth, “This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future.”
American dream used to be a stepping up or turning over for the poor. I was a poor son of poor missionaries working my way through college, I knew what I was talking about. It was the hardest way during the Nixon’s administration. The wages were low but the money was valuable. I obtained undergraduate and graduate degrees from a top American university without owing one penny to anyone. My UC GPA was 3.7 and I had completed 45 units. The university asked me to go on for Ph.D. and they would take care of everything, and I didn’t have to do anything. But I turned it down on ground I had been so poor for so long. Now it is impossible for any ambitious poor student to work his way through college anymore, because the cost of living and tuition are so high, you cannot earn enough minimum wages and attend university at the same time.
The American educational system, or for that matter, any education system should train the youth with ability to make independent thinking, to communicate effectively verbally and in writing, and developed a skill to be employable so that one can be independent and self-supporting — and in addition some moral education is necessary to build character and acquire true values. The prevailing American values of money, power and sex are bad.
VI. BEHAVIOR
Behavior is the sum total of human deeds and doings where many wrongs are committed. We select some areas of human behavior which represent and reflect a tendency of wrongdoing. People often commit wrongdoings in the following areas:
1. Marriage
The basic premise how humans get married is fundamentally wrong. The usual norm is that man marries for beauty and woman marries for money should be discarded with a new idea.
With whom and to whom you are married also occupies most of your life. Jesus never married or had sex with any woman. The female professor of Harvard divinity school who declared she discovered the wife of Jesus is such a hoax and blasphemy; I believe she had committed the unpardonable sin. Your husband or wife has an unerasable impact on your life. If you have a good wife or good husband, you are blessed all your life. A beautiful woman in old age told me she made the biggest mistake and greatest regret in her life in looking for the wrong man.
Surprised? The highest divorce rate is not America. It is reported that the divorce rates in America are somewhere between 40% and 50%, almost half of people married will get a divorce. I must make it clear from the beginning that Jesus Christ forbids Christian to get divorce. Mat 19:9, “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Appearances are most deceptive. Millions of people who attended the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana on TV must have believed it was a most ideal marriage, a marriage made in Heaven. The rest is history.
Although I have met millions of peoples, I do not know one marriage made in Heaven. I knew a most
beautiful girl in my youth, due to the mix up of time and space we were separated many years. When the most beautiful girl in the world turned into an old lady, she confided me the greatest secret of her life; the sorest grief of her soul. I was shocked to hear that she said in Chinese that her heart was unwilling
心不甘 (there is no English equivalent that her heart was deeply and regretfully unwilling) because she found the wrong man in her life. It was a marriage without love, she did not love him, in a life long of unhappiness without relief of divorce. You do not know how a woman suffers when the real did not match up with the ideal. The pain of marriage without love is not outsiders can comprehend or understand.
We are both old now, life can never start over again. Christians have only one chance in life for love. I could feel this unspeakable agony, tears and pain in her soul… The most far reaching effects of one’s life are beyond description and calculation when wedlock becomes a padlock. The woman was in the cage until the man died. I think the closest description of her situation was made by Alec-Tweedie who said, “Marriage with love is entering heaven with one’s eyes shut, but marriage without love is entering hell with them open.” Although I do not know Alec-Tweedie.
2. Parenthood
The responsibility of parenthood is heavy. Those who are married and have children need at least to have means to get their children educated to be able to independent self-supporting.
Man and woman who cannot support themselves should never get married and bring unwanted children to the world. The government unknowingly support evil by providing welfare to unmarried single woman who bears children. A single unmarried woman has sex with many men who do not love her and who do not want to support their children. Consequently an unmarried single woman, the more children she has, the more welfare benefits she gets. A man who has sex with any woman must be held financially and morally responsible for the children they bring into the world. A single promiscuous woman should be sterilized unless she could support herself and the children she gave birth to.
“The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness.”
“It is painful to be the parent of a fool;
there is no joy for the father of a rebel.”
There are many men and women who produce fools and rebels to give to the society.
“Think about it: Just as a parent disciplines a child, the LORD your God disciplines you for your own good.”
What can society do when bad parents do not discipline their fools and rebels?
3. Education
Being human, education is a big part of our life, from childhood to adulthood. It is true where you are born, where did you live and what language you speak, what university you attend, what kind of job you have, where do you live now can determine your destiny. A pastor asked me what would be good for his son to study. I asked him what was his son good at. He did not know. We have a joke at the university: Major in English does not make you an English man. Major in history does not make you a historian. Major in philosophy does not make you a philosopher. Most people should not seek academic degrees, and most people can get a vocational training that does not require an academic degree. Many vocational jobs are good pay without degree requirement. Of course it is important to know your own interest and capacity. Looking back, it would be disaster for me to be trained as an engineer.
All these considerations were irrelevant to Jesus Christ. However, they are relevant to Christians on earth.
1Co 1:26, “For consider your calling, brothers and sisters, that there were not many wise according
to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble.”
Language has a great deal that influences the way of your thinking, expression, and conduct of life. I say the English language is the only one that “I” is a capital letter, so it maybe the English speaking people are more self-centered. However, English is a very systematic and accurate language. For example, in spoken Chinese language you hardly know whether it is plural or singular, male or female, singular or plural verbs or tenses. It says, People come. 有人来。You will not know whether it is one person or more than one persons come。 You cannot know whether it is a male or female who comes. You do not know what kind of people come.
Once on a train to Copenhagen I met a mother and a young girl. I heard they speak beautifully and melodiously, but I had no idea what language they spoke. Even though I do not speak many languages, I could identify them by just hearing. Although I could not tell the difference between Korean and Japanese, Hindu and Pakistani. I can identify the dialect of Cantonese although I speak hardly. After inquiry I discovered the mother and daughter spoke Castalian Spanish. I was so surprised because it was not like the Spanish spoken by Mexicans in California. I am glad that I was not born in certain nations. I do not want to list the harsh languages in the world, that would offend many countries and peoples.
When I was working my way through college, there was a British nurse in the hospital. We teased her by saying how come she spoke like something in her tongue. She was not happy about that. However, I thank God from childhood I speak, read, write, and think in English. Years ago in California and even recently I propose my country the United States in the U.S. Constitution to declare American English as the only official language to be used in all communications, public and private, and at all times and all places in America. I believe American English is the most powerful, useful, beautiful and scientific language in the world.
The educational process from kindergarten to university involves many things and many people. Those formative years are vital and consequential. I had a female colleague who told me she was disappointed with her master’s degree program knowing she attended the same university I did. There was a young man who thought to be a social worker was interesting, so he studied sociology. After he got his B.S. degree in Sociology, he landed a job in a county welfare department. He lamented every day because he had to deal with the lowest strata of the society and not interested in their problems. You see what kind of job you do may determine your destiny.
Why do you bring children into the world if you cannot educate them to be independent and self-supporting? The minimum education for everyone is the ability to communicate verbally and in writing; and possessing a skill to be employable, and have a moral education to be a decent citizen.
4. Career
Not everyone is fit to study for academic degrees. Those who cannot be trained to earn academic degrees must be trained in vocation. Fortunately, there are many good-pay jobs that do not require a degree. Without saying, your profession or occupation has a lot to say about what you are and who you are. But I tell you an honest garbage collector is more honorable than a corrupt politician, evil Wall Street executive or fraudulent medical doctor.
5. Responsibility
Responsibility is the beginning of morality. What is bad today is the fact there are few responsible people today. Dependability becomes a great ability. It is easy to find a rich and powerful man, it is very difficult to find a dependable man. You have to be responsible and dependable no matter what your life station is. When I was in hospital management consulting, I told hospital janitors their job is very important. Their responses were surprising. I explained: for example, if they do not do a good job that patients fall on the floor; you see the consequences to the hospital? Then their eyes opened.
I have no respect for an irresponsible leader, politician, professor, doctor, banker, inspector, accountant, regulator, electrician, teacher, father and mother.
I have great respect in Carl Jung for saying,
Corporate executives shall be held responsible for the operations of the corporation. I have met many top management who did not what management is all about. The worst are those who manage by decree.
I think the most despicable and irresponsible people are dog owners who walk their dogs to urinate and defecate in public places. They practice an immoral principle of giving to others what they do not want for themselves.
6. Goal
The US and EU, NATO, GANG-7 — all have wrong goal — the goal to destroy Russia and China at any cost. It is wrong to be the sole and supreme dominator and dictator of the world, America needs and wants to destroy Russia and China. The U.S. Constitution does not empower American citizens. Let us just for the moment to have a National Referendum, I bet the majority of American citizens would not engage in any war to destroy Russia and China. American leaders and politicians are afraid of the majority of American citizens, so they never initiate or engage in revision of the U.S. Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty is vested in the hands of American citizens. 51% of American citizens can remove any elected or appointed official without impeachment, can change national policy and direction, can reform any branch of government. This is the true democracy never practiced in America.
7. Fraud
Nowadays frauds committed on TV, mass media, Internet, and email are beyond measure. The crooks and criminals all have one common objective, that is to make a lot of money. I am totally opposed and disgusted by advertisements and commercials that intent to rob the wealth and health of their victims and harm them physically additionally. Such is the ads of reducing obesity or overweight. I hate anything false, fake, fraudulent. In the last days there are so many crooks and criminals who intend to defraud your money AND your heath. There are so many crooks who travel the world to defraud you by phone. There are so many criminal justices systems which are useless to deal with frauds and such crooks and criminals.
I have received so many fraudulent emails using famous officials and persons. I even received the following in the name of FBI director:
“Successful fund I am the FBI Director Mr Christopher A Wray and I’m contacting you regarding your funds $10.5 million USD Please confirm to me if you have received the money? because I found out that your consignment box $10.5 million dollars is still at our custody which you have to receive. Thank you.”
If the FBI Director Hoover were alive today, he would be dismayed of the frauds committed in his position.
I do not see any criminal justice system of any country has effectively and successfully dealt with so many crooks and criminals today.
Corporations that manufacture faulty products which harm or kill people will be held liable, depending on the circumstances, the CEO may be sent to jail or suffer execution.
8. Injustice
I agree with Plato who said, “The worst form of injustice is pretended justice.”
Nowadays there are many in the government who are practicing pretended justice. A good example are those regulators who protect the interest of the industries they are supposed to regulate. A doctor who performs unnecessary surgery, test or treatment commits gross injustice. There was an old man whom I led to know the Lord Jesus before his death. Once he consulted me because a doctor advised him to be hospitalized for a day to have 24-hour test of his blood pressure. I told him he already knew he had high blood pressure, a hospitalization would not prove otherwise. So why waste the money? The old man saved the money.
I agree with Desmond Tutu for saying, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
Aristotle was right in saying, “Yes the truth is that men’s ambition and their desire to make money are among the most frequent causes of deliberate acts of injustice.”
Washington, Wall Street and Hollywood prove it again and again. Injustice is often tied to greed. European and American imperialism and capitalism prove it.
The wise Plato was right, “Of all the things of a man’s soul which he has within him, justice is the greatest good and injustice the greatest evil.”
Western democracy is very strange because it benefits only a few. True democracy is doing the greatest good to the greatest number of people. How can justice is present when injustice is everywhere?
I had a colleague of mine who was a Korean American and she holds a CPA. The fact her supervisor, the controller and the Vice President of Finance all did not have a CPA tells the simple fact of job discrimination. I told her not to think about it or else she would be unhappy all her life. I advised her to seek something interesting outside the job. My way of compensating the job discrimination was to lecture at Chinese major universities during my vacation and to satisfy my intellectual abilities with extra curriculum activities such as building and maintaining Internet websites to reach millions of global readers with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free.
9. Gun violence
The US government with the new Constitution shall ban all sorts of guns manufacturing, sale, transportation, or possession of guns. Crooks and criminals who commit murder with guns will be automatically executed without appeal. Terrorists will be shot at the scene without due process of the law. Police who commits brutality by deliberately killing a suspect unnecessarily will be prosecuted as murder, the city or country or state will not pay for his defense and damage award to the victims family.
10. Opportunity
A fool loses opportunity, an ordinary man waits for opportunity, the wise seeks opportunity — to do good or great. It is very bad when opportunity knocks at your door you were not home.
William James spoke like an educator in saying, “No matter how full a reservoir of maxims one may possess, and no matter how good one’s sentiments may be, if one has not taken advantage of every concrete opportunity to act, one’s character may remain entirely unaffected for the better.”
The wise not only seeks, he must seize, opportunity to act when he can. My friend and professor Dr. Harold Koontz told me, “Einstein had only one good idea.” Opportunity may come only once in a lifetime.
I agree with Benjamin Disraeli who said, “One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.”
11. Good Life
The modern day new religion or new philosophy is the good life that everyone seeks in this world. What they mean good life is to have money, power, and pleasure as long as you live. Many actually live for money, power, and sex. These three items dominate their whole life. They seek external things.
Henry David Thoreau said something quite true, “What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.”
Jesus says, Mar 8:35, “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it.”
I agree with John Wesley who said, “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”
This kind of life is richer than those only self-seeking. In America, a man is measured by what he has, not what he is.
Dale Carnegie had something nicely said, “Everybody in the world is seeking happiness – and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.”
There is charm in Helen Keller that you cannot find in many and she said, “Be of good cheer. Do not think of today’s failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere, and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles… Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.”
12. Suicide
Suicide is paganish, unchristian. A person who has great hope and great future will not commit suicide. Suicide is totally contrary to the will of God. Whether a person is unbeliever or believer, suicide is wrong. The question: Should I kill myself? It never occurs to a person who has eternal life.
An unbeliever was so wrong in saying, “Suicide is man’s way of telling God, ‘You can’t fire me – I quit.’
It is stupid to quit by suicide. Suicide is not walking out life early. Suicide is dropping out of life in taking the path of irresponsibility. Suicide is not the last time of your life, you just move to a permanent place called Hell. Suicide is so wrong; you do not have a more unassailable title to your life and person. If you are married, you owe to your spouse. If you are a father, you owe to your children. If you are the only one, you owe to your parents. Suicide is not the way out. You owe to yourself to live a decent life. You can learn how to live and not commit suicide. You can come to Jesus to have a new life.
13. Religion
It goes without saying that religion greatly influences how a person lives in this world. Thank God, I was not born a certain race or nationality that predetermines my religion. Some evil religion approves bad treatment of women and girls as a way of life. Some culture devalues women as property. If a religion denigrates and abuses women and girls, so its people do so as a matter of fact. If a religion is superstitious, the people act just the same. Once I met a Catholic girl, I told her the virgin Mary was not perpetual virgin because after giving birth to Jesus, Mary and Joseph had sex and produced several children. I told her it is written in the Holy Bible. Mat 13:55-56, “Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and
Joseph and Simon and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” So Mary had Jesus and four other sons and daughters not mentioned. But the Catholic girl believed her church and not the Bible.
There is one evil religion in the world that supports and harbors terrorists. This religion practices religious monopoly and has beheaded many Christians. This evil religion also practices discrimination against women and girls.
Someone was so wrong in saying, “Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies.”
Jesus says, Mat 7:13, “Enter through the narrow
gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.”
Many still do not know that all religions are the broad way that leads to destruction. No religion can save.
“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under Heaven that has been given among mankind by which we must be saved.”
14. Environment
There are only two groups of people as far as environment is concerned: those who protect the environment and those who pollute the environment. Those who smoke, dog owner, litter bugs, burning trash outside, etc. pollute the environment.
According to https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/06/14/1005697173/dog-import-ban-countries-rabies-fake-records
The U.S. Bans Importing Dogs From 113 Countries After Rise In False Rabies Records
June 14, 20213:01 PM ET
“Rabies was eliminated in dogs in the United States in 2007, though unvaccinated canines bitten by rabid wildlife (or come in contact with their saliva) — raccoons, skunks or bats, for example — can still contract the disease that way. Today, pet dogs in the United States are routinely vaccinated against rabies to protect them.
But rabies remains one of the deadliest diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans around the world. Globally, about 59,000 people die from rabies each year — the equivalent of about one human death every nine minutes, Pieracci says. Rabies is nearly always fatal once a person begins to experience symptoms.
The U.S. imports about 1 million dogs each year. So starting on July 14, the CDC is banning the importation of any dogs from 113 countries considered at high risk for rabies for a year. The countries are widespread, and include Kenya, Uganda, Brazil, Colombia, Russia, Vietnam, North Korea, Nepal, China and Syria.
“What we’re really trying to do is prevent the reintroduction of rabies back into the United States from a source outside of the U.S.,” Pieracci says.
Veterinarians are praising the decision.
“If a new strain of rabies [were to be] introduced into the United States, it’d just be a matter of where it will spread and how fast it will spread,” says Dr. Douglas Kratt, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. “Probably not if, but where and how fast.”
Years ago I watched on TV an interviews of a 5-year old girl: Where were you born and why you don’t like Shanghai? “I was born in Shanghai, I don’t like Shanghai because dog feces and urine are everywhere.” What city you like best in China? “Phenglai, Shandong, where there is no dog feces and the air is clean and the environment is healthy.”
I observe dog owners and walkers practice the immoral principle of giving to others what they do not want themselves. The do not let their dogs to urinate and defecate at home; they walk their dogs with the main purpose of giving dog feces and urine at other places. Once a woman dog owner was talking with another woman while her dog defecated in public place, even under protest the woman dog owner did nothing to clean up what her dog did and she had no shame.
Clearly, the exhaust private cars and industrial pollutions are directly causing the world’s climate change.
According to https://www.conservationinstitute.org/industrial-pollution/
“Industrial Pollution: Causes and Effects And Biggest Culprits Of Global Warming
April 26, 2018
Six Causes of Industrial Pollution
The causes of industrial pollution are extensive but here is a list of some of the top reasons.
1. Industrial Growth that is Unplanned
A lot of air and water pollution has occurred from companies who ignored rules or standard practices to facilitate rapid growth. Industrial growth has been a frequent culprit for pollution.
2. Lack of Effective Policies
Many industries have been able to ignore or entirely bypass pollution laws because the policies are either not valid, or not adequately enforced by pollution control boards. The result has been significant pollution that has had a direct effect on many people.
3. The Sheer Number of Industries
There are many industries and factories, and most of them are polluting the air every day. Small sectors that have to rely on grants from the government to keep operating are often able to avoid following environmental regulations. Those companies have been discovered to release significant amounts of toxic gas, making pollution an even more substantial issue from those smaller industries.
4. Using Old and Outdated Technology
Updating technology is expensive, and there are many companies and plants which are relying on outdated technology to continue operating their business successfully. Older technologies tend to produce large amounts of waste.
Even when companies realize the harmful effect they are having on the environment, they choose to save money by keeping their old systems instead of upgrading.
5. Natural Resource Use
Raw material is necessary for a lot of industries, which requires them to pull underground elements. One of the most common forms of leaching from natural resources is fracking for oil. When industries pull minerals, the process causes pollution in the soil and also causes oil leaks and spills that are harmful and deadly to people and animals.
6. Improper Disposal of Waste
One of the most common forms of soil and water pollution are because of companies who do not dispose of their waste correctly. This is one of the most significant causes of pollution because the effects include severe and chronic health issues and lower air quality.
The Effects of Industrial Pollution
The causes of industrial pollution are extensive but here is a list of some of the top reasons.
1. Water Pollution
The ecosystem has been significantly impacted because of pollution, and the consequence will affect many future generations. Big industries and manufacturing plants use significant amounts of water from nearby lakes, rivers, and oceans to operate.
During the manufacturing process, the water is exposed to chemicals, heavy metals, organic sludge, and radioactive waste. That water is then dumped back into its original water source. Not only does this process affect the plants, animals, and insects in their habitat, farmers also use that water for irrigation, causing harmful effects to the food we eat.
Water pollution has caused many different groundwater sources to be labeled as unsafe for people and animals alike. Once it is rendered dangerous, the only use for that water is for it to be reused in the plants that initially harmed it.
2. Soil Pollution
Soil pollution is the result of land degradation, and it is caused because of human-made (xenobiotic) chemicals as a result of industrial activity, the improper disposing of waste and various agricultural chemicals. Soil pollution poisons agriculture and sometimes kills local vegetation.
The results of soil pollution include chronic health concerns for people who work with soil, for farmers, and for people who consume the fruits and vegetables from contaminated land.
3. Air Pollution
Similar to water and soil pollution, air pollution has been the culprit for many illnesses, increasingly frequent over time. The effects of air pollution have an impact on everyone, every day. It is caused by the smoke released by various industries.
4. Animal Extinction
Pollution is one of the most significant contributors to global warming. There are conspiracy theories and people who believe global warming doesn’t exist, but scientists and environmentalists have proven the existence of global warming.
The rapid increase of global warming is of concern to many people. The greenhouse gasses, and the smoke that causes it is released into the air daily and causing consequential problems. Glaciers are melting, polar animals are becoming extinct, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, and other natural disasters are increasing, and all of those are the effects of global warming.
5. Natural Resource Use
Industrial pollution continues to cause significant damage to the earth and all of its inhabitants. It disrupts natural habitats and rhythms, affecting wildlife and ecosystems. Animals are becoming extinct, and habitats are being destroyed.
Pollution is the culprit for oil spills and radioactive material leaks, and both of those types of disasters take years to decades to clean up.”
Most people think when we speak of environment we mean only the physical environment. Physical environment does have great impacts on human beings; for example, overpopulation, pollution, soil erosion, deforestation, burning fossil fuels, shortage of water, and climate change. More or less, economic and financial environment, political environment, cultural environment, and social environment have probably greater negative impacts too.
Racial discrimination and racial problems are facts of life in the world, in particular the United States of America. Recently the world witnessed how a black suspect was asphyxiated and killed by a white policeman in public on TV. America practices White supremacism where the Whites rule the nation, money and power are in the few hands of Whites. All supervisors are white men and white women although they maybe less educated and less qualified.
After living almost half a century in America, my personal experiences confirm the fact of racial discrimination in employment whether hiring and promotion. A white man was hired as manager in the department although he never had policy and procedure experience. The funny part was that every morning he shook hands with me at the office for he made the statement no one in his department knew how to develop policy and procedure, except Willie Wong. The practice of job discrimination had many aspects. Once a white woman in Human Resources asked me if I knew how to climb a tree, a young man who holds a Master’s degree from a top American university and who had job experience with the Federal government in Washington, D.C., listened to an Human Resources requirement of climbing a tree put me in a position not knowing whether to laugh or to cry. Once I submitted copies of my B.A. and Master’s degree certificates to a big corporation. The strangest and insidious and devious thing was that the Master’s degree copy disappeared from the personnel file, in this way when the H.R. is audited could rationally defend itself why the employee was understaffed and underpaid.
The world has been controlled, dictated, dominated, exploited, oppressed, suppressed by Western (American, European, UK, Canadian, Australian) and Japanese imperialism, colonialism, militarism, capitalism, supremacism for more than 500 years. Many atrocities, genocide, injustice, and evil deeds have been disclosed. Only God knows every evil deed committed by America, Europe, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Japan. The funny and ludicrous part is the fact that America and EU now accuse China of practicing national capitalism! Indeed America, EU, UK, NATO, AUKUS, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, and JAPAN have been responsible for 90% of world problems today, another 5% are committed by undeveloped nations self-inflicted civil wars, corruption, backwardness, etc., and the last 5% are committed by Islamic terrorism. The West and Western mainstream media deliberately and habitually ignore the achievements of China such as the historical and monumental achievement of lifting out 770 million peasants from extreme poverty. White supremacists are very wicked people who distort the facts with pleasure: the Chinese virtues they call vices, the Chinese achievements they call failures, the Chinese aid to poor nations they call aggression and neocolonialism, the Chinese hard work and thrift, they call theft of intellectual property, etc., etc. The West continues to lie, kill, and rob in order to maintain world dictatorship and domination. The most atrocious and vicious is the fact that American and European nations, (except the pagan Japan), claim to be Christians nations and doing the most wicked and evil things contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Political environment and circumstances can be formidable. For example, the absurdity is America Extending the Hard Line with China. It is no surprise that White supremacists deliberately and immorally assert that Beijing seems to be galvanizing a new consensus at home. They had been singing the swan song of the demise of Chinese government since 1949. AS NEVER BEFORE, Beijing is even more popular with the Chinese people for all of its concrete achievements, including eliminating abject poverty of 770 million peasants. It is evil and irresponsible to suggest that China triggers American actions. The South China Sea, Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea legally belonged to China long before America, Japan, Australia, India and other nations existed. Under the pretense and pretext of freedom of navigation, America, EU, UK, Australia, Japan habitually violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of many nations. China and Russia never violated the sovereignty of America and NATO. Words matter to American leaders and politicians? Remember, you can lie to the whole world, but you cannot fool God who is the Judge of Living and Dead.
In my life time Obama at first declared that the U.S. was neutral on the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands. For he knew very well that America illegally gave administrative control to the wartime criminal and unconditionally surrendered nation of Japan. In 1971 the U.S. again violated international law and China’s sovereignty by illegally giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan. Diaoyu Islands have belonged to China longer than the existence of Japan and America combined. Later Obama changed his words by saying Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan and America would fight to defend Japan. America has defended evil dictators, corrupt rulers, warmongers, thieves and robbers if only they bow to the leadership of America. The lies told by American leaders and politicians in the last 300 years are more than the stars in the sky! Taiwan has always been a part of China long before America existed; and why the U.S. makes Taiwan a de facto American colony, and its allies are trying to rob Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang, and trying to destroy China? The world already knows who is robbing 31 ton gold of Venezuela and oil of Syria; the wealth and palaces of Saddam Hussein, and the wealth of Mohammad Gaddafi of Libya, etc. In the first place the world also knows who robbed the land of the original natives of America and almost killed off the Indian Race!
If China has stolen the intellectual property of America, how come the Chinese corporation called Huawei has the most advanced 5G technology in the world? Why America and Europe are so afraid of Huawei 5G that they do everything possible to boycott, smear, sanction, target and destroy Huawei? Who is competing with America? Isn’t it every nation is free to achieve under the international law? Whenever and wherever China is taking the lead such as trade, manufacturing, supply chain, space, diplomacy, poverty reduction, currency exchange, etc. America and EU immediately attack and target and sanction China as national security threat. The sham and shame would even blush the devil with these falsely called Christian nations!
With respect to COVID-19, China has aided many nations without strings attached while the U.S. could not even protect its own citizens that more than one million deaths have occurred and leading the world in both infections and deaths! As regards Nobel Peace Prize laureate, I had argued with Norway that they could not just pick a nobody but one who was a Chinese traitor to be awarded Nobel Peace Prize. The same Americans called those Hong Kong rioters and terrorists as freedom fighters, but those who protest against injustice at home are thugs, criminals and terrorists. Well, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Ask Americans whether they have been treated well and do they trust their government? I cannot understand why those nations and leaders could not see logs in their own eyes, but they want to take specks out of the eyes of other nations. As Jesus says, Mat 7:5, “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
Historically, the United States of America has wronged China too many times since the Infamous Opium Wars led by the evil British Empire to force opium on the Chinese. At first, the West looked down at China because China was then weak and backward. Now, the United States, EU, NATO, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, etc. are so afraid of the peaceful rise of China. They are so afraid of losing their world dictatorship and domination. My, if they don’t like China so much, why don’t they return the Chinese national treasures that they robbed and looted and stole since the Opium Wars to this day. China never did any wrong to America and Europe and Japan. The West, America and Europe, irrationally harbor so much malice, jealousy, envy, hatred, ill will, hostility, aggression, etc. toward China. Why do American war ships, aircraft carriers, war plans, spy planes, bombers, etc. continuously and constantly invading and encroaching China’s territories in the South China Sea, Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea? China does not have one warplane or warship close to America or Europe. Trillion tons of Western propaganda of democracy, human rights, freedom, justice, etc. are useless and meaningless when their actions of aggression and sanction speak louder than their words.
China does not want to compete with America or any country. China is lawfully competing with itself in solving many national problems. In solving terrorism, China has succeeded in eliminating terrorism in Tibet and Xinjiang and Hong Kong. China achieves liberty and harmony in those areas with prosperity. AFTER more than 10 years, America is still failing to fight against terrorism abroad, and now facing internal terrorism at home. China has succeeded in lifting 770 million peasants from extreme poverty. Although China is still a poor nation, thank God not one Chinese is freezing or starving to death. It is vital for American leaders to look within. Are you not ashamed to see many homeless people living in tents on streets in Los Angeles? There is a new class of poverty in Texas when people are driving pretty cars to accept food charity. China is still backward, but there is not one day anywhere in China without running water and electricity. The homeless people of the world would be jealous to look at the new houses of the Chinese poor in countryside.
America is able to solve all its pressing problems simply by abandoning the empire, closing all foreign military bases and operations, withdrawing all overseas troops, and stop building weapons of mass destruction, war planes and warships, etc. Trillions and trillions of dollars that vanish in the black hole of so-called defense and national security could be used to rebuild America. You can be sure America is safe from China and Russia. For years America has wasted trillions and trillions of dollars in unnecessary and unjust wars, so-called defense and national security. The world is safe if there is no threat from America, EU, NATO, UK, Australia, Canada, India, Japan, and Islamic terrorists. Most of the world still does not know that the China-India border conflict was created by the evil empire of Britain. Britain took large areas of Chinese territories to incorporate into its colony of Indian Map to make its colony look bigger. The leaders of UK do not have the moral character and courage to come out and explain the truth about the Indian Map and resolve the border conflict once and for all.
15. Character
If anyone has character to be successful, it must be Helen Keller who said, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
People like Helen Keller knew what good life is really about.
When I think of Western leaders and politicians and what they have been doing to the world so long — I think of what Carl Jung said to the point, “It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going.” Ukraine is a fine example how they keep it going.
Aristotle was wise in saying, “It is our choice of good or evil that determines our character, not our opinion about good or evil.”
Billy Graham was right in saying, “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.”
However, in the last days character is discarded by most people who love money, power, and sex.
16. CLIMATE
The evidence of climate change is self-explanatory, I do not have any interest to argue with blind leaders and politicians.
According to ww.britannica.com/science/climate-change/Greenhouse-gases
“Fortunately, climatic change also leaves a variety of signatures in the natural world. Climate influences the growth of trees and corals, the abundance and geographic distribution of plant and animal species, the chemistry of oceans and lakes, the accumulation of ice in cold regions, and the erosion and deposition of materials on Earth’s surface. Paleoclimatologists study the traces of these effects, devising clever and subtle ways to obtain information about past climates. Most of the evidence of past climatic change is circumstantial, so paleoclimatology involves a great deal of investigative work. Wherever possible, paleoclimatologists try to use multiple lines of evidence to cross-check their conclusions. They are frequently confronted with conflicting evidence, but this, as in other sciences, usually leads to an enhanced understanding of the Earth system and its complex history. New sources of data, analytical tools, and instruments are becoming available, and the field is moving quickly. Revolutionary changes in the understanding of Earth’s climate history have occurred since the 1990s, and coming decades will bring many new insights and interpretations.
Ongoing climatic changes are being monitored by networks of sensors in space, on the land surface, and both on and below the surface of the world’s oceans. Climatic changes of the past 200–300 years, especially since the early 1900s, are documented by instrumental records and other archives. These written documents and records provide information about climate change in some locations for the past few hundred years. Some very rare records date back over 1,000 years. Researchers studying climatic changes predating the instrumental record rely increasingly on natural archives, which are biological or geologic processes that record some aspect of past climate. These natural archives, often referred to as proxy evidence, are extraordinarily diverse; they include, but are not limited to, fossil records of past plant and animal distributions, sedimentary and geochemical indicators of former conditions of oceans and continents, and land surface features characteristic of past climates. Paleoclimatologists study these natural archives by collecting cores, or cylindrical samples, of sediments from lakes, bogs, and oceans; by studying surface features and geological strata; by examining tree ring patterns from cores or sections of living and dead trees; by drilling into marine corals and cave stalagmites; by drilling into the ice sheets of Antarctica and
Greenland and the high-elevation glaciers of the Plateau of Tibet, the Andes, and other montane regions; and by a wide variety of other means. Techniques for extracting paleoclimatic information are continually being developed and refined, and new kinds of natural archives are being recognized and exploited.”
I believe we must stress the human activities that cause climate change.
“Human activities
Recognition of global climate change as an environmental issue has drawn attention to the climatic impact of human activities. Most of this attention has focused on carbon dioxide emission via fossil-fuel combustion and deforestation. Human activities also yield releases of other greenhouse gases, such as methane (from rice cultivation, livestock, landfills, and other sources) and chlorofluorocarbons (from industrial sources). There is little doubt among climatologists that these greenhouse gases affect the radiation budget of Earth; the nature and magnitude of the climatic response are a subject of intense research activity. Paleoclimate records from tree rings, coral, and ice cores indicate a clear warming trend spanning the entire 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century. In fact, the 20th century was the warmest of the past 10 centuries, and the decade 2011–20 was the warmest decade since the beginning of modern instrumental record keeping. Many climatologists have pointed to this warming pattern as clear evidence of human-induced climate change resulting from the production of greenhouse gases.
A second type of human impact, the conversion of vegetation by deforestation, afforestation, and agriculture, is receiving mounting attention as a further source of climate change. It is becoming increasingly clear that human impacts on vegetation cover can have local, regional, and even global effects on climate, due to changes in the sensible and latent heat flux to the atmosphere and the distribution of energy within the climate system. The extent to which these factors contribute to recent and ongoing climate change is an important, emerging area of study.”
As of September 3, 2022 I propose that island nations and coastal cities like Shanghai be alert of the inevitable and start doing some preparations. I believe Netherlands can help.
According to https://cn.bing.com/search?q=Why%20are%20the%20Dutch%20so%20good%20at%20water%20management%3F
With almost half of the Netherlands below sea level, water management is key to the country’s prosperity and survival. The proof is in the living. With the safest and cleanest river delta in the world, the Dutch are clearly doing something right.”
I suggest islands nations and Shanghai start using the Dutch expertise to build sea walls and sea gates. Sea walls and sea gates are used to prevent waters from entering when high and let waters in when low. In this way islands nations and coastal cities may escape the flooding of water so that they will not be submerged under water under any circumstances.
17. Choice
In His infinite grace and wisdom, God has given every human being the freewill to choose. But I could never understand evil. I do not understand why Judas, Luk 22:48, “But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” I do not understand why Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.
Mat 26:15, “and said, “What are you willing to give me to
betray Him to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces
of silver.”
According to
/theuijunkie.com/judas-christ-thirty-pieces-of-silver-todays-money/#:
“If you do a Google search, you’ll find a lot of articles answering this very question. So, why not just use those findings? Well, because in my humble opinion, all of them are trying to answer the question by focusing on wrong parts of the equation. Some say that if you want to buy one of those pieces of silver today, you’ll need about 200$-500$, hence thirty of them are worth around 6,000-10,000$. Others suggest that because one of those coins weighed 14 grams and contained 94% silver, given the current silver valuation, thirty pieces are now worth between $185 and $216. Okay, I’m sure all of them are correct in calculations but they miss the most important element: purchasing power.
Now that we have a common base (a day’s salary) we need to get this into today’s money. Of course, this varies widely across countries, so we’ll take the U.S. as an example. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the United States’s median wage in the 4th quarter of 2017 was $44,564 per year or $857 per week for a 5-day, 40-hour workweek. This translates to roughly $170 per day.
So, if the average US salary is $170 per day and thirty pieces of silver are work 120 days’ salary, then the purchasing power of the coins was the equivalent of $20,400! In other words, if the transaction was to take place today, Judas could have bought a brand new mid-level car with that money.”
Even with that sum of purchasing power, one cannot help to question whether Judas’ intelligence, personality and value are defective? For the same reason I could not understand why a pretty girl who could have been a princess would choose to be a prostitute? Apparently evil is a great mystery.
Deu 30:19, “I call Heaven and earth to witness
against you today, that I have placed before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants.”
The situation that some said they had “no choice” does not exist. God would not demand mankind to choose if he/she had no choice.
It was Oscar Wilde who said, “We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.”
Evil is real, not just a point of view. Someone was so wrong to say, “Active Evil is better than Passive Good.” Evil is evil not a matter of active or passive. I do not agree with Plato who said, “Ignorance: the root of all evil.”
Would you call Judas ignorant? I learn in America the most evil people are the most well educated at Ivy League universities in USA.
The brilliant Blaise Pascal who said, “Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.”
I agree with Nathaniel Hawthorne who said,
I agree with Plato who said, “False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.”
It is most shocking to watch world leaders and politicians and Western media boldly telling lies and falsehoods without shame.
Voltaire had a point in saying, “As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”
Western leaders and politicians continue to commit atrocities in the world because they believe in absurdities about Russia and China threat.
George Eliot sounded a warning to the West, “No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.”
The West loves warmongering and aggression, world domination and dictatorship, lies and murder and robbery.
Thomas Paine said, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”
95% of all evils in the world have been committed by evil governments, the rest 5% by Islamic terrorists.
Carl Jung sounded like talking about Western leaders and politicians who propagandize democracy, freedom, equality, security and justice when he said,
It was Mahatma Gandhi who said, “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall… think of it, always.”
I agree with John Stuart Mill in saying, “A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.”
I also agree with Albert Einstein who said, “It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.”
Jesus says, Mar 9:47,
“And if your eye is causing you to sin, throw it away; it is better for you to enter the Kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be thrown into Hell.”
The wise Henry David Thoreau said, “It is best to avoid the beginnings of evil.”
Most people cannot recognize the beginnings of evil.
Jas 3:5, “So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!”
Marcus Tullius Cicero was right in saying, “Every evil in the bud is easily crushed: as it grows older, it becomes stronger.”
The great Martin Luther was right in saying, “The forces of good and evil are working within and around me, I must choose, and in a free will universe I do have a choice.”
VIII. DIRECTION
The strategic direction of a nation or corporation will determine the future of a nation or corporation. Making wrong strategic direction has put many corporations out of existence, such as Kodak, McDonnell Douglas, etc. Many corporations disappeared because they made wrong strategic directions. Soviet Union also disappeared because of wrong strategic direction.
According to ://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/strategic-direction#
“What is strategic direction?
Strategic direction refers to the foundational ideas or actions that allow for greater consistency in strategy over time. It ultimately helps a company achieve its vision and helps it fulfill the goals of its organizational strategy. It also helps unite a company’s strategies and provides for greater stability into the future. When an organization has a strategic direction, it helps determine the company’s objectives and how it plans to accomplish them, it helps determine the required resources and it helps identify how an organization needs to operate in order to find success.”
Grand strategy
This refers to a long-term strategy that includes every approach and tool you can find. Even current strategies that seem irrational may make better sense when you consider the grand strategy.
For example, if an electric car manufacturer allows the free use of its patents by competing manufacturers, it may seem irrational from a business standpoint. However, opening them up to competitors may increase the rate of adoption for these vehicles and charging stations. This may then beat competing approaches such as those by hydrogen vehicles. Ultimately, a grand strategy can provide you with strategic direction over time. It also highlights the long-term optimization of a strategy rather than focusing on the short-term.”
Years ago I invented the formula of strategy:
S=da2
S=Strategy
d=determination of the objective
a=adoption of courses of action
a=appropriation of resources to carry out
Strategic Direction comes out of Grand Strategy, Grand Strategy does not come out Strategic Direction.
92% of Americans believe America is going the wrong strategic direction, I am one of 92% who conscientiously believe America has gone the wrong direction. The saddest thing is the fact that American leaders and politicians believe they lead America into the right direction. What can Americans do? How can American citizens turn their leaders and politicians back from wrongdoing? At the current Constitution
P-r-a-c-t-i-c-a-l-l-y……. n-o-t-h-i-n-g!
Fifty years have passed since President Nixon’s historic trip to China and the revisionists and supremacists insist the great power competition between the United States, Russia and China has returned because America and its allies force it. This time, Moscow and Beijing are banded together in an alliance that President Nixon’s strategic diplomacy prevented fifty years ago.
As a matter of fact, the US and its allies launch all
sorts of attacks and multi-pronged sanctions against Russia and China tantamount to a declaration of war; for survival Russia and China are forced to stand together. China does not want to compete with anyone, much less the US, but US treats China as a competitor, rival and enemy unilaterally. While foreign policy discussions and forums abound, particularly in Washington, DC, none is solely dedicated to a long-term strategic direction —what President Nixon might call “the long view”. America never practices a consistent approach to foreign policy because the US government always seeks immediate political expediency and short term benefits. For that reason America even supports dictators and war crime nation like Japan. As a matter of fact, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson threatened to drop atomic bombs on China. They did not carry out their threat not because they were kind, but because the world’s opinion would not allow them. President Nixon never threatened the Soviet Union. In fact President Nixon personally assured Chairman Mao that he would never attack China. All Nixon’s successors threaten Russia and China.
The so-called Grand Strategy Summit from top government officials and leaders from diplomatic, economic, defense and media sectors will falsely revise the Nixon’s Grand Strategy and facetiously put forward a path for the United States to so-called “meet its responsibilities and self-appointed leadership,” aggravate the creation of tumultuous geopolitical challenges of our time and develop aggressive strategies to preserve the status quo and promote America’s domination and national superiority in the 21st century. How wicked it would be to use Nixon’s legacy to destroy President Nixon’s vision in seeking a just and lasting peace for the world. I am afraid the revisionists inside the organization of Nixon Library are trying to do just that. Let Nixon’s loyalists be alert.
The great power competition between the United States, Russia and China has not returned, the phantom is only created by current American leaders and politicians and its allies. After President Nixon, American leaders and politicians by hook and by crook want to destroy Russia and China. They attack Russia and China in many fronts and sanction Russia and China in many fields. There are revisionists and warmongers such as Pompeo inside organization of the Nixon Library who want to revise the grand scheme and legacy of President Nixon in seeking a just and lasting peace for the world. Is there anything more wicked than an inside job to use the name of Richard Nixon to destroy the Grand Vision and Legacy of President Nixon? The Nixon’s revisionists are proven liars and warmongers. The current American leaders and politicians do not want peace in the world, they only seek by all means to preserve the status quo of American domination and dictatorship in the world. In fact those who hypocritically pretend to devote to the vision of President Nixon are actually doing everything they can to deny and dismantle and dismiss the vision of President Nixon. They would apply distortion and ill logic to justify American intervention all over the world for the simple purpose of destroying Russia and China. If President Nixon were alive today, he would not support the Ukraine conflict, he would dismiss NATO, EU, GANG-7, UK, QUAD, and Japan for their political and military alliances. The United States would focus on solving internal matters and seek peace and cooperation with all nations in building a better and safer and more prosperous world. The United States would cease to be an empire, it will return to be a respectable and reputable Republic that no more interferes with internal affairs of any nation, and would not violate the sovereignty of any nation. I am afraid this group of liars and warmongers with positions and influence will destroy the great vision of President Nixon in the name of Richard Nixon employing a distorted and destructive revisionist views and strategies.
IX. RELIGION
According to https://cn.bing.com/search?q=how+many+religions+are+there+worldwide&qs=
How Many Different Religions Are There In The World?
Christianity (2.17Billion believers)
Muslims (1.6Billion believers)
Irreligious (1.13Billion believers)
Hinduism (1.03Billion believers)
Buddhism (488Million believers)
Folk religion (405Million believers)
Jewish (13Million believers)
There is one evil religion that supports and harbors terrorists and practices religious monopoly by beheading many Christians, and discriminate against women and girls.
If I find faults with every religion, won’t I become the target of so many religious believers? Besides I am a Christian, I do not want to waste my time in telling the faults and flaws of other religions. Also religions are so important matters, people believe what they want to believe. There had been wars and murders committed in the name of religion in history.
Given the premise you have the right to believe what you want to believe, I am still obligated to tell the truth about Jesus Christ. I know it is useless to tell people contrary to what they have believed all along. I had experience with a Roman Catholic girl. I proved to her from the Holy Bible that Mary is not the Mother of God, and Mary was not the Perpetual Virgin because after Jesus, she had sex with Joseph and produced several sons and daughters. To my disappointment, the Catholic girl would rather believed her Roman Catholic church than to believe the Holy Bible.
However, it is my duty to tell the truth about the Christian faith:
1. There is only one true God, who is Self-Existent, Holy and Righteous, the Almighty, from eternity to eternity.
2. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of mankind; it is through Him who died on the cross for sinners, that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ gives eternal life to anyone who believes and follows Him.
3. The Holy Bible is the Word of God, will never pass away, eternally established in Heaven, and Christianity is based on the complete and supreme authority of the Bible, and Christians believe and behave in this world according to the Word of God.
4. Jesus Christ is coming again to judge the world and set up the Kingdom of Heaven, become the King of kings and the Lord of lords, and reign with the saints forever and ever.
5. The devil and its agents as well as the wicked unbelievers will be cast into Hell, the Lake of Fire, for eternal punishment.
6. God has prepared the Paradise of God to dwell with His children to enjoy blessings, peace, righteousness and joy for time without end.
7. Christians are the citizens of Heaven, they are in the world but do not belong to the world. The hope of Christians are not in this world, but in the world to come. Christians live godly, work diligently, and wait eagerly for the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Jas 1:27, “Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself
unstained by the world.”
Christians do not want to be stained by the world. The world stains everyone who loves the world.
X. PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy means the way of life. The world is practicing many kinds of philosophy each with their own emphasis and impressiveness. Actually there are only two groups of philosophy: the secular that seeks interest in the present world, and the Christians who seek interest in the world to come. It will be too much to list all the secular philosophies and discuss each of them.
Philosophy is all about worldview. Secular philosophy characterizes itself in Naturalism, denial of the supernatural and spiritual, and uses science as the main source of human knowledge. In general, secular philosophy has dealt with this world only.
There are other philosophies which practice from other religions. I deliberately avoid any discussion with religious philosophy of various religions. I only believe in Christianity and therefore I promote the Christian philosophy.
Christians are a special group of people who are children of God, who are different from all other peoples. The Christian philosophy is based on the Christian Faith. Christians of all generations believe:
1. The Holy Bible is the Word of God, inspired and eternal. There are two kinds of knowledge: the human knowledge is limited and must be verified. Science cannot deal with the Spirit, the Spiritual and the Supernatural and the eternal. God is Spirit, the invisible and the supernatural are beyond science and human philosophy. The Word of God is revealed, divine, and ultimate.
2. The conduct and faith of Christians are based on the Holy Bible, authoritative, supreme, and ultimate.
3. The Christian Faith is completely based on the Holy Bible, not anyone or any institution. The central message of the Holy Bible is Jesus Christ.
4. Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, the Savior of mankind, sent by God the Father, to the world to save sinners. He was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
5. Jesus Christ was the Word in the beginning, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus Christ was God who manifested in the flesh, preached and taught the Word of God, healed all the sick and cast out the demon-possessed, performed all kinds of miracles including raising the dead, crucified on behalf on the ungodly, rose again from the dead, ascended into the highest Heave, sitting at the right hand of God, and He is coming again to be the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
6. Jesus Christ is coming again to judge the world, and to reign with the saints in the Kingdom of Heaven for eternity.
7. The devil and his agents and followers will be cast into Hell, the Lake of Fire, for eternal punishment.
Christians are citizens of Heaven, they are in the world but do not belong to the world. Christians conduct themselves according to the commandments of the Lord, they are pilgrims on earth. The duty of Christians in addition to only conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ, they live godly, work diligently and wait eagerly for the second coming of Jesus Christ.
A mad philosopher was so wrong in saying, “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”
The right way, the correct way, and the only Way does exist. For Jesus says, Jhn 14:6, Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”
A lot of people in the world still do not know that Jesus Christ is the WAY, and the TRUTH, and the LIFE. I am obligated to bring you the good news!
IN CONCLUSION
Not knowing the Way, the right way, the correct way, the only Way — that is why billions of peoples do wrong, do wrong in the way they live, do wrong in the way they think, do wrong in the way they speak, do wrong in the way they behave — and yet they are not conscious that they are wrong, they have done wrong, or they do the wrong way.
Jesus Christ not only points you to the right way, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Some 2,000 years ago God sent His only Son Jesus Christ down to the world to save sinners from their sins, their wrongdoing. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the ungodly, for you and me. Jesus Christ rose from the dead by the power of God. Jesus Christ ascended to the highest Heaven and sitting at the right hand of God. Jesus Christ is coming again to judge the world and reign with the saints as the King of kings and the Lord of lords for eternity.
You can come to Jesus by repentance of your sins and believe in Him the Son of God, and the Savior of the world in order to receive the forgiveness of sins and to inherit the eternal life.
Will you do it now?
