Do you have any Native American Indian heritage within your family?

roneysmith@gmail.com (Roney Smith) — Wed, 7 Jun 2017 08:37:00 -0400

It seems that the American history books have never been forthright about the economics and political games that were played at the expense of Native Americans as well as for the multigenerational benefit of people who bribed government officials decades to centuries ago to be classified as Native Americans!

The strategy of divide and conquer has been used to steal, kill, and destroy certain groups of families to benefit others more than we can really imagine.

The truth is that the historical accounts of the earliest explorers of North America virtually described ALL ABORIGINE NATIVE AMERICANS AS BLACK OR BROWN PEOPLE!

Many historians believe that many Native Americans were exported from North America and then later shipped back to North America just like many products are made today like cars!

Is a Mercedes-Benz truck built in Alabama really German or a Toyota Camry built in Tennessee really Japanese?

This simple truth of the American divide and conquer game may change your entire view of American history as it has done for my own understanding!

One of the most highly visible yet still not really understood impact of being classified as Native American in modern day America is found within those parts of the nation where gambling casinos are located.

I have never been inside a casino and the closest I have been to one was almost 20 years ago in Detroit-Windsor area.

I had a camcorder with me of all things while there for our 1997 Grand Conclave and was denied entrance but that's another story.

I don't know any historically recognized Native Americans but found it super eye opening to learn that many Native American households receive POSSIBLY TAX-FREE payments of up to $20,000 MONTHLY OR MORE for the casinos being operated that are licensed to them.

WHAT WOULD YOUR FAMILY HAVE DONE WITH EACH HOUSEHOLD RECEIVING $240,000 POSSIBLY TAX FREE OVER YOUR ENTIRE LIFE?

WHAT CHAOS WOULD EXIST IF SUCH A INCOME WAS SUDDENLY CUT OFF?

Many Native American households are being stripped of their status as Native Americans and the monthly payments they once received through a process called disenrollment which has been confirmed in the US Supreme Court.

The current POTUS had a mouthful to say about Native Americans while trying to get a casino license.

Listen to his words and begin to see the dots connect to the how and why the disenrollment process continues and why the names often used to describe historical races and cultures of people possibly means that more American elections have been stolen throughout history than will ever be acknowledged.

Why is this important and what difference will it make in your life today and tomorrow?

Understand that others are going through more hard times than you have been told, more have RECEIVED more than you knew was possible, and that if you feel that you have worked too hard with too little to show for it, then you need to understand that your income still needs to increase and more independent income streams need to be added because the political forces are still trying to enslave your family all over again REGARDLESS WHAT YOU PERCEIVE YOUR RACE AND CULTURE TO BE!

Strengthen Your Relationship with Christ Jesus!

roneysmith@gmail.com (Roney Smith) — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 15:31:00 -0400

The Supreme Court's decision on same-sex marriage today cannot be viewed as a single victory or battle of political parties as it is continually a match of competing spiritual powers. Both major political parties have nominated Supreme Court Justices that voted for it.

The same Supreme Court has recently voted to allow the United States to provide healthcare to its citizens without regard to location or political party.

The same nation is now finding newly discovered momentum state by state in finding the confederate flag as distasteful as those who have generationally felt and been aggressively oppressed by it.

We must remember that the same court before removed barriers to the ideals, values, and specific words within the various documents created to form and represent the same nation and will continue to do so.

Therefore if the removal of any form of past, present, or future oppression seems as if is detrimental to the country itself, then the only fault can be fully placed upon the shoulders of the country's founders as well as every representative in government as well as those citizens who voted for them as well as those who found it not worthy of their time to vote or become eligible to vote.

The bigger and bigger decision that I see that has not ever changed for me as most important is whether we as individuals and citizens of this country and world have accepted Christ Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior!

Nothing that has happened or will occur shall diminish the power, might, and wisdom of God!

No milestone shall prevent the return of Christ Jesus and even when it seems that world has chosen any form of darkness, His return becomes even more imminent than further away.

Hold onto whatever faith you had or have and still seek to strengthen it in these days ahead!

Do not allow any of your physical and mental senses to fool you or lead you astray as you will need a stronger, personal relationship with Christ Jesus more now than ever!

Expect the rest of your life to remain a roller coaster and undoubtedly know that only what is done for Christ will last!

The ride is unable to be rough forever!

Christians are indeed on the winning side in Christ and God's Word is our barometer to agree with or disregard any laws enacted and enforced by mankind.

Christ is as close as your decision to allow Him to enter and govern your life!

Anticipate Christ's return with joy, power, and strength!

Psalm 68:1 (KJV)

[[To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David.]] Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

Romans 8:28 still remains true to our living, moving, and having our being!

Which Penalty Flag I'm Only Throwing On Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson!

roneysmith@gmail.com (Roney Smith) — Mon, 23 Dec 2013 08:00:00 -0500

After multiple seasons of not watching the reality tv show, I recently started watching the show during this current season after seeing multiple reports about the Robertson family's faith and organic evangelism.

The recently interview for GQ has gotten Phil Robertson in hot water due to comments being made about his faith regarding homosexuality predominantly and there has been pure media neglect and omission over other comments made during the same interview.

Anyone's faith or lack of it is not my place to attack or defend unless it seeks to have an undue influence upon my family, neighborhood, and government and every American adult basically feels this same way.

Mr. Robertson's comments about his past life and history with African-American's in Louisiana are not upon my radar as well. But within his comments about either those he had contact with or those he believes that request and receive governmental assistance, I found an area that warranted a penalty in my opinion.

Per the GQ article itself, Mr. Robertson is reported to have said, "Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”

http://www.gq.com/entertainment/television/201401/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson#ixzz2o4HdbxfP

Any comments that give the impression that people have a sense of entitlement about government assistance based only upon race is extremely nearsighted and undermines the fact that Mr. Robertson has a graduate degree in education and was a star quarterback whose quitting football opened the door for Terry Bradshaw to eventually become a hall of fame quarterback.

Based upon the revelation of his young adult accomplishments and exposure to the larger world through attending college, I am throwing the flag that only a sincere apology will overcome although I will not wait for one.

Never while watching the show did I ever feel that the family is racist in any way although the number of African-Americans that have been seen within camera shots is virtually nonexistent. I have seen no more than 4 African-Americans within all the episodes I have seen.

Yet I do feel that Mr. Robertson's comments are more politically driven than anything else based upon his southern lifestyle.

Any southern resident that likely votes for the GOP will share his political views regardless of appearing on television regularly or not. My belief that Mr. Robertson generally votes for the GOP is suddenly confirmed to me by the same GQ article mentioning that a tv within his home is tuned to Fox News while being muted.

The simple truth about governmental assistance is that there are more non African-Americans that receive governmental assistance while the pure percentage of the group by race within American is clearly potentially higher for African-Americans.

There is indeed an eventual addiction beyond a sense of entitlement by any and all individuals and corporations alike receiving government assistance over multiple years. Still again, his statement remains politically or economically ignorant at best.

Bottom line, I did not begin watching "Duck Dynasty" for its political comments and until I am led to believe there is hostility towards African-Americans, I will most likely continue to watch it.

Quite frankly upon hearing about the brewing controversy, I was more inclined to ask what did Uncle Si have to say about race given that he is a Vietnam War veteran and has traveled more as a result. The patriarch's comments about politics and/or race did not seem to make sense to me then and I am still trying to find the logic within his words.

But it is par for the course as most people on any reality tv show will eventually say something that makes you shake your head in astonishment and simply have a smh moment.

I am simply waiting for an apology Mr. Robertson and willing to remain a viewer based upon my own faith that attracted me initially to watch the show!

I'm Thankful For Only Being Born in Jersey City, NJ!

roneysmith@gmail.com (Roney Smith) — Sun, 25 Aug 2013 12:50:00 -0400

An appreciated teammate from NJ as well told me Tuesday night, "You were born in a ghetto" about Jersey City, NJ.

My entire view of my life, resume, and achievements immediately transformed into a greater appreciation for my late mother's decision to move back to Nichols, SC.

The Hudson River is the railroad track between JC and global financial district Manhattan in NYC.

Environment is able to fully suppress or advance one's DNA and pedigree more than believed possible.

Even though I already was eternally grateful about growing up in Nichols, SC versus Jersey City, imagine my shock and awe at both hearing the statement last week as well as the stunning volume of my household's "Amen" seconds ago!

There is something about being the last to know:)

1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

²Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

³Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

⁵Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

⁶Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

⁷Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

⁸For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

⁹For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

¹⁰For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

¹¹So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

¹²For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

¹³Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

You need to know and understand that there are some people, places, things, or ideas that God does not desire for you to sow into and multiply.

God desires to become God of their lives and through your potential participation outside the will of God, you may be viewed as their God when God wanted their hearts to be turned to Him and Him alone.

Allow God to direct your sowing and continuously order your steps.

Sow seeds that produce fruit of long-term positive effect!

Numbers 20:5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of ﬁgs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

The barren place is a proving ground for my Seed and Fruit Acid Test.

Everyone has some type of seed and fruit in their immediate possession regardless of the fruit being of the ﬂesh or Holy Spirit.

If it appears that there is no visible fruit, it only means that the person, place, thing, or idea may have an abundance of seed in their lives to produce fruit of the Spirit.

For example, a person that consumes alcohol is really trying to escape the pain that is present within his or her life. The consumption of alcohol and other forms of drugs is actually a futile attempt to sow seeds of healing and deliverance from the present pain.

The self-destructing person needs to refocus their efforts in sowing seeds that produce fruit of long-term positive effect versus continuing to sow seeds that lead to further damage and death.

It is very possible to plant seeds of overtaxing ourselves even when trying to do the work for the Kingdom of God.
