Light is sown like seed for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Psalm 97:11
What the Bible says about light and seed
The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.
The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.”Matthew 13:24,25.

The attacks against multiple civilian targets in Paris Friday
night by the ISIS Terrorist Group have turned into actual WAR! France
will invoke Article 5 of the NATO mutual defense Treaty Monday,
compelling all NATO members to fight along side France against ISIS. This is not some "authorization for the use of military force" this
is a Declaration of War. The trouble is, ISIS is in Syria. Russia is
defending Syria to assist Syrian President Bashar Assad. When NATO goes
to get ISIS, they will necessarily have to go into Syria . . . . where
Russia is defending.
Will Russia relent and let NATO attack? Or will Russia decide this
NATO action is a thinly disguised effort to unseat Bashar Assad, and
cause Russia to battle NATO?
This is "it" ladies and gentlemen; this is the actual physical beginning of World War 3. UPDATE 1:49 PM EDT -- Discussions are taking place in Congress as to whether it will be necessary to intern Muslims in the USA, the way Japanese were Interned after the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941.
According to well-placed sources in the Defense Department, inquiries
have been made by staff from the Congressional leadership, asking if
the camps created under the REX-84 program in the mid-1980's are
available for use? When told "Yes" the congressional staff revealed
that discussions are taking place among the highest levels of US
Congressional leadership about possibly Interning ALL Muslims in the
United States.
"REX-84" is a plan which would accommodate the detention of large numbers of American citizens during times of emergency. The plan is called REX 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984. Through
Rex-84 an undisclosed number of concentration camps were set in
operation throughout the United States, for internment of dissidents and
others potentially harmful to the state.
The Rex 84 Program was originally established on the reasoning that
if a “mass exodus” of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they
would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Existence of the Rex 84 plan was first revealed during the
Iran-Contra Hearings in 1987, and subsequently reported by the Miami
Herald on July 5, 1987
” These camps are to be operated by FEMA should martial
law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is
a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general’s
signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached.”
The prevailing thinking today in Congress is that Muslims of today
represent a much more dangerous threat than the Japanese during World
War 2 and if the US is going to declare war upon ISIS, it may be
necessary to control the Muslim population within the USA. The internment of Japanese Americans in
the United States was the forced relocation and incarceration during
World War II of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry
who lived on the Pacific coast in camps in the interior of the country.
Sixty-two percent of the internees were United States citizens.
President Roosevelt ordered the Incarceration of Japanese Americans
During World War II, shortly after Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl
Harbor.
In the event of a national "emergency" in our present time, there are
now over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational
and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded
by full-time guards, but they are all empty. Under the Rex 84 program
many military bases were closed down and turned into prisons.
"Operation Cable Splicer" and "Operation Garden Plot" are the two sub
programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84 program is
initiated. Garden Plot is the program to control the population. Cable
Splicer is the program for an orderly takeover of the state and local
governments by the federal government.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the executive arm
of the Rex-84 operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already
listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for
this operation.
The camps all have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to
and from the detention facilities. Many also have an airport nearby. The
majority of the camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners.
Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of
Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive mental health
facility and can hold thousands of people.

A
flurry of recent stories about police knocking on – and sometimes
knocking in – people’s front doors have raised alarms in both the U.S.
and Canada about whether the home is still constitutionally protected
from increasing police power.
As WND reported,
High River, Alberta, has become a recent focal point of the
controversy, when it was revealed Royal Canadian Mounted Police entered
the flooded town after a mandatory evacuation, broke down doors and
began confiscating “several hundred” firearms.
The details are eerily reminiscent of New Orleans during hurricane Katrina, when officers similarly invaded homes and confiscated thousands of weapons they uncovered.
In High River, RCMP and province officials assured citizens the only
guns taken were those “improperly secured” and “in plain view” – to be
stored for safekeeping and returned to residents after the evacuation
ended.
But Michael Coren of Canada’s Sun News says the authorities are
“lying, because we know the police actually broke locks to get into
cupboards to find out if there were guns there.”
High River resident Cam Fleury believes his house, which sits at a
high point free of floodwater, was targeted by the RCMP. The following
video shows his front door was broken down, and police made a bee-line
for his gun cabinet:
“This whole area is the highest point in town, so there was no flood
damage,” Fleury told Sun News, “so there was no reason for them to enter
any of these houses.”
The RCMP’s actions drew a rebuke from Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen
Harper, whose office issued a statement: “If any firearms were taken,
we expect they will be returned to their owners as soon as possible. …
We believe the RCMP should focus on more important tasks such as
protecting lives and private property.”
Yet civil rights and gun advocates in the country warn that’s not good enough.
Faith Goldy, who has been following the story for Sun News, is
concerned about the information authorities were able to gather by
invading people’s homes: “Now they’ve got [firearm] serial numbers,
they’ve got addresses and there is no mechanism put in place for us now
to force them to abolish what has basically become an emergency,
back-door [gun] registry.”
“There’s absolutely no way, no how you can justify going into
people’s homes and taking their property without a warrant,” asserted
Tony Bernardo of the Canadian Sport Shooting Association. “This is
Canada! We have laws here!”
“People are protected from having an unwarranted search and seizure,” Goldy added, “[yet] that’s exactly what happened here.”
Gun grabbing nothing new in the U.S.
Americans are similarly protected by the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth
Amendment, which states, “The right of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon
probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly
describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be
seized.”
Yet the Fourth Amendment was sorely tried – or outright ignored,
depending on your perspective – when the residents of New Orleans faced
similar floodwaters.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, thousands of weapons – legally
obtained and owned – were simply grabbed from citizens after New
Orleans Police Superintendent P. Edwin Compass III announced, “Only law
enforcement are allowed to have weapons.”
Just to make sure the message was loud and clear, the city’s Deputy
Police Chief Warren Riley told ABC News: “No one will be able to be
armed. We are going to take all the weapons.”
Then they did exactly that.
One man at a post-Katrina meeting assembled in conjunction with the
National Rifle Association said, “The bottom line is this. Once they did
it, they set a precedent. And what we’ve got to be sure [of] is that
the precedent stops here.”
In a series of videos, the National Rifle Association has documented
the stunning weapons grab by police in New Orleans, assembling videos
that show them physically taking weapons from individuals, including one
woman who was stunned when officers threw her against her kitchen wall
because she had a small handgun for self-defense.
The not-to-be-forgotten images, Part 1:
Part 2:
Herb Titus,
a nationally known constitutional attorney and law professor, told WND
government’s claim always is that such draconian powers will only be
used “in an emergency situation.”
But there are so many “emergencies,” he said, that “all of our rights are in jeopardy.”
The Boston “emergency”
Similarly startling videos were also captured in Boston earlier this year when police conducted a city-wide manhunt in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon Islamic terror attack.
There, they burst into homes with guns drawn, ordering residents out while they searched.
Commentators said while homeowners there technically had the right to
refuse a request for a search if officers didn’t have a warrant, “it
seems unlikely that many residents of Watertown felt like exploring that
particular legal nuance by refusing the policy entry.”
Merely expecting an “emergency” As WND has reported,
the most recent example of a police-state presence is developing even
now in Sanford, Fla., where neighborhood-watch participant George
Zimmerman faces a nationally prominent, racially charged murder trial
for the death of teenager Trayvon Martin.
Police say they fear the backlash from the community when the jury
verdict is delivered, ala the days of rioting in Los Angeles when the
Rodney King verdict came down.
So Sanford Police Chief Cecile Smith confirmed officers are going door-to-door talking to people.
“Our worst fear is that we’d have people from outside the community coming in and stirring up … violence,” he said.
The police live here now, ma’am
Yet surprisingly, the Fourth Amendment isn’t the only “front door” right to come under assault in recent months.
As WND reported,
a lawsuit has been filed against the Henderson, Nev., police department
over an incident in which its officers allegedly demanded to use a
private home as a lookout for an investigation, then arrested the
resident when he refused.
It raises the unusual claim that the police violated the Third
Amendment, which prohibits the “quartering of soldiers” in private homes
in peacetime without the owner’s consent.
“Whatever the ultimate outcome of this case, it is clear that lawyers
and legal scholars should start taking the Third Amendment more
seriously,” commented legal scholar Eugene Volohk. “Contrary to
conventional wisdom, there is in fact a history of violations of the
Third Amendment, such as the military’s brutal treatment of Alaska’s
Aleutian Islanders during World War II.”
In the new case, filed just days ago, plaintiff Anthony Mitchell is suing Henderson, North Las Vegas
and a long list of police officials and officers. Mitchell alleges on
July 20, 2011, Henderson officers responded to a domestic violence call
at a neighbor’s residence.
According to the complaint, “At 10:45 a.m. defendant Officer
Christopher Worley (HPD) contacted plaintiff Anthony Mitchell via his
telephone. Worley told plaintiff that police needed to occupy his home
in order to gain a ‘tactical advantage’ against the occupant of the
neighboring house. Anthony Mitchell told the officer that he did not
want to become involved and that he did not want police to enter his
residence. Although Worley continued to insist that plaintiff should
leave his residence, plaintiff clearly explained that he did not intend
to leave his home or to allow police to occupy his home. Worley then
ended the phone call.”
The complaint then explains that members of the police departments
“conspired among themselves to force Anthony Mitchell out of his
residence and to occupy his home for their own use.”
According to a report in Court News,
“Defendant Officer David Cawthorn outlined the defendants’ plan in his
official report: ‘It was determined to move to 367 Evening Side and
attempt to contact Mitchell. If Mitchell answered the door he would be
asked to leave. If he refused to leave he would be arrested for
Obstructing a Police Officer. If Mitchell refused to answer the door,
force entry would be made and Mitchell would be arrested.’”
The lawsuit explains at least five police officers banged on Anthony
Mitchell’s front door and demanded he leave, then broke down the door
and pointed their guns at him.
“As plaintiff Anthony Mitchell stood in shock, the officers aimed
their weapons at Anthony Mitchell and shouted obscenities at him and
ordered him to lie down on the floor,” court documents explain. “Fearing
for his life, plaintiff Anthony Mitchell dropped his phone and
prostrated himself onto the floor of his living room, covering his face
and hands.”
According to the complaint, Mitchell was subsequently transported to
Henderson Detention Center, booked on charges of Obstructing an Officer
and required to pay a bond to secure release from custody. All criminal
charges, however, were ultimately dismissed with prejudice.
Volokh noted for damages to be due under the Third Amendment, the
court would have to decide whether “police … qualify as ‘soldiers.’”
“On the other hand,” he said, “many police departments are
increasingly using military-style tactics and equipment, often including
the aggressive use of force against innocent people who get in the way
of their plans. … In jurisdictions where the police have become
increasingly militarized, perhaps the courts should treat them as
‘soldiers’ for Third Amendment purposes.”
