Just as the colonists rebelled against the British g�vemment �nd . the people involved m the rebellion were called "patriot or freedom fighters" by the colonists, and by the British government they were called "outlaws or criminals". The Boston rea Party was coined , or labeled a rebellion and party not a riot. Christopher Columbus's invasion was coined a discovery; hopefully, you discern the terminology of propoganda deception. There are three types of people: those who MAKE things happen, those who WATCH things happen, and those who WONDER what happened. F�dom fighteIS MAKE things happen, they MAKE people take notice and the government takes notice, by this hopefully a po �tive change will result from their actIons. damaged in the uprising. Our prayers, hearts, and assistance goes out to tho e innocent people and entities, but in wars, conflicts or rebellious uprisings, these are considered casualties. The key to the golden rule is: whoever has the gold also has thc! rule. Therefore, those in authority are going to blame the victim for a problem while omitting the blame from the perpetrators. Society teaches people very earl y in life that disagreements can be settled with fists or violence, while governments ettle their disagreements with other nations by- war. . As the proverb goes, "you'll reap what you sow", and no law and order campaign can Idll the people' quest for ju tice , Adolph Hitler' . government had law and order but lacked justice to the I raelite , Gyp ies, etc. J t the white-collar criminals remain free in society including President Bush's son, Neil Bush and other SelL crooks, bank, Iran-Con traga te, H. U.D., Sundstrand executive, Senator{ ), Congre people, and the list of white-collar criminal goes on. These actions by the government would be a sign of repentance and would restore faith the government, without this restored faith in this government is doomed. IF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT can aid and lsi t the European Israelites to flee the ex-Soviet Union and other parts of Europe and migrate to Israel, surely it can aid and assist its own citize . Meanwhile, economic ho tages or descendents of ex- laves are held in bondage in the U.S.A. with no aid or assistance to return or exodus to their homeland. The option for repatriation for those who choose to exodus. should be available and. accessible. The saying of, "love it or leave it", doe n't apply in this situation, Ithough,' George WaShington stayed, fought and changed it 'This repatriation would be heeding to prophesy rather than becoming a victim of prophesy.

This double-standard judicial system, image projection of giving police license to kill as James Bond/agent 007, racist, corruption, exploitation, etc. are only symptoms of the actual cause of the problem. The invasion of the Native Americans/lndians country and slavery of Africans was a sin or cause of problem. The remedy for the problem according to the scriptures would be to-formally apologize, pay reparations to descendents of ex-slaves siinilar to those recently paid to Japanese-Americans for WWIl to 'their homeland. The Native American Church or other designated enti ty( ) should be the communicators for the Native Americans' remedy. Band-aid remedies such as social programs, temporary or underemployed job , and other stall tactics won't resolve the problem. An everlasting remedy can only come about when the U.S. government apologize , pay reparation and aid and assist in reptariation, wherefore, this would serve a a deterrent for slavery happening gain in the future. The duty of de cendents of ex-slaves to ee that ju tice is brought about for the crime . agai t humanity committed against their forebearers would be accomplished. C.H.R.LS. T., Inc. P.O.
