Glenn Beck’s Speech at Christians United for Israel Summit

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

As the world nears what most Christians believe to be the Apocalypse (lifting of the veil), in Washington, DC on July 19th, 2011, Glenn Beck gave his greatest speech ever, touching the hearts of 700,000 members of the CUFI ‘Christians United for Israel’ in support of God’s chosen people (the Israeli people). With increasing threats from various groups who want to see Israel destroyed including the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling for Israel to be “wiped off the map”, Glenn Beck steps out of his comfort zone and into the spotlight as an American fighting for Truth, Liberty and Justice for all human beings living on Earth.

If there were ever a time when Israel’s friends needed to speak out and be heard, that time is now!

The Christians United for Israel’s Washington Summit is the premier pro-Israel event which brings together some of the most influential leaders and thinkers to update the public on recent developments in Israel, the Middle East and Washington, D.C. They share with Congress people’s support for Israel directly with elected officials and help change the way Washington views the Jewish state.

How can you buy or sell the Earth?

Friday, May 27th, 2011

MindfulGod.com - Chief SeattleChief Seattle (1786-1866) of the Duwamish tribe, also known as Chief Sealth was a prominent figure among the American Indian people. The city of Seattle, Washington had been named in memory of him. Chief Seattle is remembered for the famous speech he gave at a large outdoor gathering in Seattle on March 11th, 1854 concerning the concession of native lands to the settlers.

“The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? The land? The idea is strange to us.

If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water how can you buy them? Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect – all are holy in the memory and experience of my people.

We know the sap that courses through the trees as we know the blood that courses through our veins. We’re part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters. The bear, the deer, the great eagle, these are our brothers.

The rocky crests, the juices and the meadow, the body heat of the pony, and men all belong to the same family. The shiny water that moves through the streams and rivers is not just water but the blood of our ancestors. If we sell you our land you must remember that it is sacred. Each ghostly reflection in the clear water of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water’s murmur is the voice of my father’s father.

The rivers are our brothers. They quench our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. So you must give to the rivers the kindness you would give any brother.

If we sell you our land, remember that the air is precious to us, that the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports. The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also receives his last sigh. The wind also gives our children the spirit of life. So if we sell you our land you must keep it a part and sacred as a place where man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadow flowers.
Will you teach your children what we’ve taught our children that the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth.

Chief Seattle - The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earthThis we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

One thing we know, our God is also your God. The earth is precious to Him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered? The wild horses tamed? What will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent of many men and the view of the ripe hills is blotted by talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone. Where will the eagle be? Gone. And what is it to say goodbye to the swift pony and the hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival.

When the last red man has vanished with his wilderness and his memory is only the shadow of a cloud moving across the prairie, will these shores and forests still be here? Will there be any of the spirit of my people left?

We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother’s heartbeat. So, if we sell you our land, love it as we have loved it. Care for it, as we’ve cared for it. Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you receive it. Preserve the land for all children, and love it, as God loves us all.

As we are part of the land you too are part of the land. This earth is precious to us it is also precious to you.

One thing we know – there is only one God. No man, be he Red man or White man, can be apart. We are brothers after all.”
