Good Men Have Alway Been Good for Nothing

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Most men have always been good; unfortunately, however, only always good for nothing. There never was a war between Good versus Evil. Wars have always been about evil versus evil and evil has always been triumphant! Otherwise, in this already 21st century, why is there still so much hate for this life in this world, and only more silly love for the next world as if there is any? - Poch Suzara (1937 - )

The Silly and Spiritually frightened Editors of Philippine Star

Spread the gospel; it's contagious. Philippine Star, July 8, 2014 I said it before, I say it again: if only the serious editors of Philippine Star would bother to seriously read the gospel, they would not make such serious, malicious, vicious, and meretricious suggestions for its readers to follow seriously. Here’s love, peace on earth, and goodwill to all men, women, and children as gospel from Jesus Christ – the Prince of Peace – the Savior of Mankind, the loving Son of a loving God: Matt. 8:21-22 “And another of His disciple said unto Him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury the dead. Matt. 10:34-35 “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword,” “For I am come to set a Man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother.” Matt. 19:29 “And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” Mark 10:29-30 “There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s. But he shall receive a hundredfold now in time… with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.” Mark 13:12 “Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.” Luke 12:51-53 :Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. For from henceforth there shall be five to one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother…” Luke 14:26 “ If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33 “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not that all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 19:27 “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.” St John 12:25-26 “He that loveth his life shall lose it; he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal; . . . If any man serve me, him will my father honor.” Poch Suzara, Atheist, Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Poverty Mixed with Insanity in the Philippines

In the Philippines, poverty is caused by corruption. It is generated by a corrupt system of education. This is in retail. Poverty, however, in wholesale, inextricably mixed with social and political insanity has always been and still is the best kind of misery for the perpetual existence of Christianity in our sick country. Indeed, there are many kinds of poverty in the world. The worst kind of poverty, however, can only be found in the Philippines - poverty of the mind and heart. There is no other country in the world, except only in the Philippines, especially in its culture - where millions of homeless Filipino children live off garbage in the street of our major cities and such horror is considered evidence enough that God has always and will always continue to provide for the poor Filipinos in the Philippines being the only Christian country in Asia since the 16th century... In the meantime, in this already 21st century, however, since the 16th century, only in the Philippines: millions of Filipinos are still waiting and hoping with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly prayers for the return of a sick foreigner - the Jewish Son of God Jesus to remedy the ills of our sick country. It is, in this way, that our famous religious clowns on TV, never miss to declare that Jesus will soon be returning. It is, in this way, like the rest of the filthy gang of filthy rich criminals famous in our sick society - they keep our country perpetually threatened, if not eternally frightened: They are the catholic bishops; INC bishops; Pastor Bo Sanchez of the Light of Jesus Family church; Pastor Mike Velarde of El Shaddai; Pastor Eddie Villanueva of Jesus is Lord Church; Pastor Apollo Quiboloy of the Appointed Son of God church; and Pastor Eli Soriano of Dating Daan church; etc... For my part, as an atheist, I said it before, I say it again: it is time for us filipinos to get ahead in the race to achieve that higher standard of thinking as a people; and, to achieve that higher standard of living as a nation. We can only achieve such standards via schools, colleges, and universities generating with the power of science and the beauty of technology, and no longer blessed with the same old usual historical silly prayers as inspired by silly beliefs in silly divinity so loved by the million of filipinos as a mystery endlessly identified as the holy trinity. . .

CBCP: Who are we to condemn Pork Scammers

CBCP: Who are we to condemn pork scammers? MANILA - The president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines is urging Filipinos not to condemn several individuals including three senators who are facing plunder charges over the multi-billion pork barrel scandal. In a report on CBCPNews, Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas reminded Christians to "love at all times, even those who sin and err, for none of us is above human frailty." "For those among us who are not accused, let us remember that the offenses with which those who now stand accused are charged could very well be the offense of any of us as well," he said. "Who are we to condemn? Let the one who has no sin be the first to cast a stone," he added. Villegas urged officials not to act out of hatred or desire for vengeance. He said a vengeful action "cannot be from God." "Let no action – official, personal or otherwise – be ever born out of hatred or a desire for vengeance," he said. "Let everything we do be born out of sincere love for each other and concern for the common good for only then will we be recognized as disciples of the Divine Master who searches out and rescues the lost and the weak," he added. The CBCP president said those tasked to prosecute the cases must "observe total commitment to the human rights of the accused." "Everybody culpable, whatever their political affiliations may be, should be investigated and, if so warranted, indicted. When justice is selective, it is not justice at all," he said. The Office of the Ombudsman on Friday formally filed before the Sandiganbayan plunder charges against three senators and several individuals linked to the P10 billion pork barrel scam. Facing plunder raps before the Sandiganbayan are Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada, Bong Revilla, Janet Lim Napoles, Jessica Reyes, Ronald John Lim, John Raymund de Asis, Pauline Labayen, John de Asis and Richard Cambe." WOW! My dear Catholic Bishops: Who are we to condemn the pork scammers? We are the millions of sick Filipinos who are the sick historical victims not only of the filthy rich Catholic theologians, not only the victims of the filthy rich Catholic politicians, but also the sick victims of Christianity still in wealth, power, glory, and authority keeping our sick country poor and backward.

Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago

"I don't understand why God has to be all love and still inflict this kind of pain on people. This God is an underachiever. He does not do what he's supposed to be doing whatever his sex is, whether he's an it, a he, or a she or whatever. But I'm sure that if you were a God, or I were the God, I would be doing a better job. therefore the only conclusion can be that possibly God does not exist..." Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago . . . Wow! It's great to know that not all of our senators are dumbstruck religious dummies. Specially as they more usually referred to as MAKA-DIOS and MAKA-JESUS... You are a great Filipina Miriam. A brilliant and a rare woman of intellect. If only you were the kind of teachers and professors we have in schools, colleges, and universities - we Filipinos could learn to become the healthiest people in Asia and the Philippines could learn to become the wealthiest nation in Asia.

It is Time to Love, Not Hate - America

There are valid reason why the tens of thousands of children from South and Central America are seeking refuge in the United States. The reasons are there inscribed in our Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tried, your poor, your huddled masses to breath free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost, to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door." As an American citizen, I am ashamed of our American government. We should be welcoming instead of rejecting these poor children seeking a better life in America. Here is a great and wonderful opportunity for America to regain the love and respect of the world; and yet, since our government only continue to be selfish, greedy, stupid, and insane, the world hates us, especially hate our sick government. Our government has turn out to be nothing but the sick servant of a bigger government - the Military-Industrial-University Complex - the real owners of America - no longer the land of the free or the home of the brave; in fact, America is no longer a nation; it is one sick giant corporation! In the meantime, it is time to feel just how exactly the Native American Indians felt when thousands of white men, women, and children arrived more than 250 year ago to take over their land, nay, conquer the the whole continent peacefully inhabited by the Native Indians. Such native Indians then have never heard words like GOD BLESS AMERICA. THE LAND OF THE FREE. THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

God Wants us to be Famous as the Sick Children of Asia

"We need one another in order to be what God wants us to be." ... Philippine Star, July 5, 2014. . . After 4 centuries of faith in the Son of God Jesus, indeed, under Christianity in the Philippines, as if we Filipinos were not as yet what God wants us to be - famous as the Sick Children of Asia. . . Look at us millions upon millions of sick Filipinos in this already 21st century: Are we not still the sick and faithful followers of Jesus who warned: "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." Luke 13:24 . . . I said it before, I say it again: it is time to throw this strait holy garbage out the window?. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Insanity as Security in the Philippines

We have more than 146,000 Filipinos working for the Philippine National Police. We have more than 125,000 Filipinos working as soldiers in the Armed Forces of the Philippines. We have more than a 1,000,000 Filipinos working as security guards of licenses Security Agencies in the Philippines. We have 42,000 Barangay Captains to help curtail the ways of the criminals in our sick society.

So how come the crime wave in this only CATHOLIC country in Asia is increasing, not decreasing?  In the meantime, no doubt, there is no such thing as "security" in this world. There is, however, for certain, without a doubt, "insanity." And insanity is more religiously considered by the priesthood industry in the Philippines as the holy values and sacred beliefs behind "Christianity." And to think that the spirit of Christianity in the Philippines is exactly like the spirit of God - existing here, existing there, and existing everywhere in the Philippines. However, instead of being always omnipresent, God is only always omni-absent. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Causes of Poverty in the Philippines

The main causes of poverty in the Philippines include the following: • low to moderate economic growth for the past 40 years; • low growth elasticity of poverty reduction; • weakness in employment generation and the quality of jobs generated; • failure to fully develop the agriculture sector; • high inflation during crisis periods; • high levels of population growth; • high and persistent levels of inequality (incomes and assets), which dampen the positive impacts of economic expansion; and • recurrent shocks and exposure to risks such as economic crisis, conflicts, natural disasters,and “environmental poverty.” Notice there is no mention of poverty of the worst kind in the Philippines - the poverty of mind and heart. - It comes from schools, colleges, and universities. Such Christian enterprises continue to teach millions of Filipinos to believe that: "it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God;" "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven;" "what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses in the end his soul." "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." And yes, listen to what our congressmen and senators love mostly about the Lord Jesus, our Savior. He told the thief on the cross, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43). . . Poch Suzara Twitter# facebook# Google#

The Biggest Syndicate of Filipino Criminals - our Senators and Congressmen

"Each new day gives us new reason to praise the Lord." Philippine Star, July 2, 2014 . . . Oh yes, in our poor and backward country, we praise the Lord as we are able produce 3 babies every minute or 180 babies every hour or 4,320 babies daily. Many of these poor babies struggle to survive by eating garbage off the streets of our major cities. Indeed, the sick Children of Asia. Happily, however, in tnis only Christian country in Asia, our newspaper editors and columnists have daily reason to praise the Lord daily. They love to defend and protect the sins and the crimes of the biggest syndicate of Filipino criminals more referred to as congressmen and senators. Such gang of criminals have more reasons to love and to praise the Lord as the Lord never misses to forgive them of sins and crimes committed daily. After all, in the ultimate analysis, as Christianity has a vested interest in human misery via insanity and poverty in any country even the politicians in our government see to it that we continue to remain faithful to our Lord Jesus on earth as He is in heaven and in hell.

Devastation and Destitution Via Revelation

Oh yes, for being atheistic, and for not believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of God - the Founder of Christianity - the Japanese people are regularly punished by God with destruction, devastating, and conflagration. In the Philippines, however, for being theistic, for believing in Jesus Christ as the Founder of Christianity, we Filipinos are also punished by the same God. Especially with economic stagnation, historical degradation, social delusion, political corruption, and cultural destitution. So that we may keep our faith in everlasting delusion as inspired by the death of Jesus under crucifixion. So there is death and destruction in Japan due to the evils that come from what is the natural? Well, what about the death and destruction in the Philippines due to the evils that come from what is supernatural? Indeed, we are damned if we believe in God. We are also damned if we do not believe in God. Whatever the case may be, there is no escape - we are all the damned victims of the God-damned. I said it before, I say it again: If we all were atheists, if we all stop believing in a sick God, the sooner we could all learn to live together in peace and harmony and sanity reconstructing this imperfect world into a better place to live in; and, if we must die one day - let us try and leave this world a better place than how we found it. Otherwise, there is little reason for our having lived. Poch Suzara Facebook# Twitter# Atheist# Google#

Humanism Has Nothing To do with Capitalism

"Most of our country's serious problems can be laid at the feet of Congress and the White House and not at capitalism." Walter E. Williams ... Wow Walter, Humanism never played any part, great or small, in setting up Congress or the White House in America. . . That was neatly done by the power, wealth, and glory of the capitalists in order to get capitalism grow more in power, more in wealth, and more in glory not only locally, but also, especially, globally. . . Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by the capitalists because he viewed the capitalist as scoundrels and secondary to workers, even if he viewed capitalism favorably. The Military-Industrial-University complex of the USA today maintains and supports the existence of more than 700 military bases in foreign countries in order to defend and protect Capitalism in America and those of its allies ub such foreign countries. . . Washington - The Pentagon estimates that each year it spends $22.1 billion to maintain its bases and troops around the world. However, the actual costs even on conservative estimates is about $170 billion annually. The totals could be even higher. Estimates of maintaining U.S. bases abroad since the start of the war on terror in 2001 range from $1.8 trillion to $2.1 trillion... The Pentagon must each year produce an "Overseas Cost Summary" that calculates the total price on overseas military activities. This includes costs of construction, repairs and maintenance. There are about one million U.S. military and Defence Department personnel and families abroad. This calculation for the 2012 fiscal year ending September 30 documented $22.1 billion in spending. But that is only part of the story - the tip of the iceberg. . . Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Extreme Global Poverty

What is Extreme Global Poverty? It's an important question, and the numbers are staggering. 2.8 billion people live on less than $2/day (USD), and roughly 1.2 billion people live on less than $1.25/day (USD)--the definition of "extreme global poverty." Consider the following: Water - 3.4 million people die every year from water related diseases around the world, and roughly 768 million people do not have access to clean water. Health - Nearly 11,000 people die every day from HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Close to two-thirds of these people are living in sub-Saharan Africa. Education - 57 million children of primary school age are out of school. More than half of them (29.8 million) are in sub-Saharan Africa and a further one fifth (12.4 million) in South and West Asia. Women - A woman dies every minute due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Human Trafficking - worldwide, it's estimated that 29.8 million people are enslaved. Agriculture & hunger - Malnutrition is the underlying cause of death for at least 3.1 million children, accounting for 45% of all deaths among children under the age of five. In the Philippines, with our endless poverty; especially poverty of the worst kind - the poverty of the mind and heart, we Filipinos are still educated in Catholic schools, colleges, and universities to believe in God and to have faith in God who, sooner or later, will provide for us filipinos. If not today, tomorrow in the next world to come in heaven but only after we are all dead! Oh yes, thanks to our sick religious values and sick religious beliefs - as the Sick Children of Asia we Filipinos have far more love for a Jewish Savior - the Son of God Jesus than we do love the sons and the daughters of our poor and backward country.

Spiritual Poverty in the Philippines

"God is the measure and healer of our spiritual wealth"... Philippine Star, June 30, 2014 . . . I said it before, I say it again: The greatest of wealth is mental health. In the Philippines, as the Sick Children of Asia, we Filipinos suffer from poverty of the worst kind: the poverty of the mind and heart. Indeed, we enjoy neither health as a people; nor do we enjoy wealth as a nation. We are the poor and Sick Children of Asia. We are sick precisely because of, if not due to, our being historically deprived of the real joys in life - the joys of decent growth as a people; and the joys of decent development as a nation. What we were as Filipinos during the 16th century, we still are the same old Filipinos today in this already 21st century: nothing but frightened catholics. Indeed, we are NOT the intelligent masters of religion in our country. We are but the sick victims of a Catholic system of education. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#

Why the US should Stop Creating Criminals in foreign countries to SAVE the US Economy

WHY THE US SHOULD STOP CREATING CRIMINALS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO SAVE THE US ECONOMY - - - 16 Reasons Why The United States Can No Longer Afford To Be The Police Of The World. . . By Michael Snyder, on July 2nd, 2011. . . Did you know that the United States military is now bombing 6 different countries? U.S. aircraft are conducting air strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen and now Somalia. There is a U.S. military base in over half of the countries on the planet and U.S. military spending is over 7 times larger than the military spending of any other nation on earth. Yes, the United States will always need a strong military. But with our national debt exploding at an exponential rate, can the United States really afford to continue to be the police of the world? There are always going to be nutjobs in other countries that want to destroy the United States. In fact, the more we bomb the more they seem to multiply. The federal government seems obsessed with stamping out all terrorists wherever they may be found around the globe. But how will we ever know if we have gotten all of them? Does our government intend to occupy all of the countries of the Middle East eventually? Do we really have to police the entire globe in order to feel secure at home? Trying to be the police of the world is getting awfully expensive. We have run up almost 4 trillion dollars more debt since Barack Obama was elected. Many thought that Barack Obama would reduce our foreign entanglements, but instead he has greatly expanded them. In an article posted on a major UK news source describing the new U.S. airstrikes in Somalia, Declan Walsh noted that this is now the 6th country that the U.S. military is bombing on a regular basis…. Armed Predator and Reaper drones already operate in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen and Libya, where they are controlled by the US military or the CIA. So are all of these airstrikes winning any “hearts and minds”? Hardly. Only 3 percent of the population of Pakistan supports our drone strikes in that country. What we are doing is not working. Perhaps it is time to fundamentally reassess our foreign policy. Barack Obama seems to have gotten a real taste for using the military. He didn’t even bother to ask Congress when we started bombing Libya, and now there are persistent rumors that U.S. ground forces may soon be involved. In fact, high ranking Russian diplomat Dmitry Rogozin says that he is convinced that NATO is beginning preparations for a ground invasion of Libya…. “I think that now we are witnessing the preparation stage of a ground operation which NATO, or at least some of its members… are ready to begin” But Libya is not the only place that U.S. troops may be sent to. The way that Obama administration officials are talking, war with Syria could potentially be on the horizon. Things are getting really crazy out there. The U.S. government is absolutely drowning in debt and yet we think that we can push around everyone else in the world. This even extends to nations that are supposed to be our allies. According to the Jerusalem Post, Barack Obama has given Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a one month ultimatum to agree to resume peace talks with the Palestinians based on pre-1967 borders. The U.S. government doesn’t even try to do much diplomacy in the Middle East anymore. It seems like threats, ultimatums and bombings are the preferred tools. The rest of the world is going to remember our arrogance and our ruthlessness. When the United States needs help someday, the rest of the world might not be very inclined to give it. Right now, the U.S. government is essentially bankrupt and the U.S. financial system is on the verge of the collapse. We have got to stop spending so much money. The following are 16 reasons why the United States can no longer afford to be the police of the world…. #1 Prior to the beginning of the “War on Terror” our national debt was under 6 trillion dollars. Today, it has more than doubled and currently sits at a whopping 14.3 trillion dollars. #2 Today, the U.S. military is in nearly 130 different nations and it has a total of about 700 military bases around the globe. It costs approximately 100 billion dollars each year to maintain these military bases. #3 U.S. military spending is greater than the military spending of China, Russia, Japan, India, and the rest of NATO combined. #4 The United States already accounts for 46.5% of all military spending on the planet. China is next with only 6.6%. #5 If Bill Gates gave every penny of his fortune to the U.S. government, it would only cover the U.S. budget deficit for 15 days. #6 When you throw in all “off budget” items and other categories of “defense spending” not covered in the Pentagon budget you get a grand total of somewhere between $1.01 and $1.35 trillion spent on national defense in 2010. #7 The U.S. government borrows an average of about 168 million more dollars every single hour. #8 The Pentagon currently gobbles up 56 percent of all discretionary spending by the federal government. #9 Between 2007 and 2010, U.S. GDP grew by only 4.26%, but the U.S. national debt soared by 61% during that same time period. #10 The cost for the first week of airstrikes on Libya was 600 million dollars. Keep in mind that the leader of the opposition in Libya has admitted that his forces contain large numbers of the same “al-Qaeda fighters” that were shooting at American troops in Iraq. So we are going broke and we are helping al-Qaeda take power in Libya at the same time. #11 The total price tag for each F-22 fighter jet is approximately $350 million. #12 Over the past decade, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost U.S. taxpayers well over a trillion dollars. #13 If you went out today and started spending one dollar every single second, it would take you over 31,000 years to spend one trillion dollars. #14 Since 2001, the total cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan breaks down to well over $3,600 for every man, woman and child in the United States. #15 Just one day of the war in Afghanistan costs more money than it took to build the entire Pentagon. #16 The United States government is now responsible for more than a third of all the government debt in the entire world. The U.S. national debt is escalating out of control and all of these wars are not helping one bit. Occupying and bombing all of these nations is not even making us safer. In fact, it is creating more enemies than it is destroying. In addition, our military is now spread so incredibly thin that there are real questions about our ability to respond if a major threat did actually arise. If you support our troops, then you should want the U.S. government to stop trying to police the world. We are getting a lot of young men and women hurt and killed and we are accomplishing a whole lot of nothing. At the same time we are bombing nations all over the globe, Barack Obama is absolutely gutting our strategic nuclear arsenal and has made us far more vulnerable to real threats such as Russia and China. It is almost as if our government is cursed. It just cannot seem to do anything right these days. Virtually everything that either George W. Bush or Barack Obama has tried to do has been an utter failure. Look, I am pro-military. My father was in the military. The United States will always need a very strong military. But trying to police the world is stupid. Occupying and bombing countries all over the Middle East is a massive strategic mistake and it is creating a lot of new enemies. Plus all of this military spending is contributing significantly to our national debt nightmare. If someone can explain why I am wrong I would love to hear from you. Sir: you are 100 per cent right on target. Poch Suzara
