 ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES AND CELEBRATION DAY

The victory of our God over the forces of darkness humbles me.

The attempt by the evil one to usurp the national power of the United States has been thwarted and all their efforts will result in their destruction.

The Lord laughs as they array their power against Him.

THE ATMOSPHERE HAS SUDDENLY CHANGED

On Friday afternoon January 15th 2021, I was out in my isolated spot and I felt that the spiritual atmosphere has changed. The heavens are open and there is a clarity in the skies. 

Some massive inversions have occurred over these parts where spiritual powers and principalities have been swept away. 

The stunning power of the Most High God. He has given power to His bride and she is beginning to sense her strength in her Lord Jesus Christ.

The gates of hell will NOT prevail against her.

I give thanks to Him who died for us and saved us and now is on the throne of heaven and earth.  We did not know the wickedness that was planned for us. We were not prepared and we were preoccupied. The power of darkness encircled us and engulfed us while we were unawares and we were powerless to save our selves. 

The mighty Redeemer intervened and saved us. May we forever honor Him for the great mercy and compassion He has shown to us.

Praise the Lord Jesus.

He Rules Forever

 THE LORD REIGNS IN POWER

Give thanks to Him who rules the heavens and is worthy to open the seals. His power exceeds all the understanding of men. 

Of His kingdom there will be no end.



Wednesday, January 13, 2021

THE WHOLE WORLD WILL SEE THE WONDER OF THE LORD

How great and mighty is He who rules over Zion.

Thanks and deep gratitude to Him who won so great a salvation for us.

Out of darkness and into His marvelous light.

Isaiah 13.

ISAIAH 13 Verse 1 - 5

The first part of this prophecy by Isaiah was re-enacted on January 30th 2020.

The nobles of Babylon will hang their heads in shame.

13 A prophecy against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:

2     Raise a banner on a bare hilltop,
        shout to them;
        beckon to them
        to enter the gates of the nobles.
3     I have commanded those I prepared for battle;
        I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath—
        those who rejoice in my triumph.

4     Listen, a noise on the mountain.
        like that of a great multitude!
        Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,
        like nations massing together!
        The Lord Almighty is mustering
        an army for war.
5     They come from faraway lands,
        from the ends of the heavens—
        the Lord and the weapons of his wrath—
        to destroy the whole country.

THE PROPHETIC LINE IS HOLDING

Even at this hour, while some are giving up and backing down, I saw a new prophet emerge to declare that they are hearing that the U.S. presidential election will be Prez. DJT's victory.

"Not by works that any man should boast" - Ephesians 2 v9

 ONLY THE POWER OF GOD CAN SAVE

What a mighty God we serve.

His purposes cannot be thwarted by anyone or anything.  The victory that approaches will be seen all around the world in an instance like lightening.

In a sudden shockwave, the power of God to save will be plainly evident. All around the world,  people will come streaming out of their houses laughing and shouting in joy because of the mighty salvation that has been won by the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES

Surrounded on all sides but still the victory!

The results of the U.S. presidential election were being questioned but a wave of blockages and removals from social media have made it almost impossible for people to hear from their President and discuss among themselves what has happened.

People are worrying but instead they should be rejoicing in the victory that the LORD has wrought for them.

A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD

God likes free societies.  He likes societies where human beings can pursue their own dreams. He does not favor dictatorial societies where humans are forced into bondage.

However, free societies are vulnerable to takeovers by totalitarian actors because of the transparent structures of law and authority.

Societies that are free and trust in God can have faith in Him to be their fortress and that He will protect them even as they pursue the ideal of sustaining free societies.

For the current peril, a  mighty fortress is our God who has pushed back the forces of darkness and by His great power, has already preserved the nation to his glory and honor.



 SOW IN TEARS

1When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion,

            We were like those who dream.

      2Then our mouth was filled with laughter

            And our tongue with joyful shouting;

            Then they said among the nations,

            “The LORD has done great things for them.”

      3The LORD has done great things for us;

            We are glad.

      4Restore our captivity, O LORD,

            As the streams in the South.

      5Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.

      6He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,

            Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

The tears of the United States fall this weekend as darkness looms over the light. Everything has been left into the hands of the LORD.

The LORD Himself was there and saw. 

His salvation now approaches. His mighty power and glory shall be seen by the whole world.

In the end, President Trump will be inaugurated and it will be known that this was done by the Lord of heaven and earth.

We shall be as those who dream.  Shouts of joy and laughter shall ring in the streets.

 FRANTIC FRIDAY

We are rolling into the weekend under a cloud of political chaos. The corporations that run many of the social media sites are acting in unprecedented ways and various leaders are calling for expulsions and removals of other leaders.

In this chaotic scene, the path forward for President Trump looks arduous but there is a supernatural assurance that the battle has been won by the Lord Jesus Christ  and that President Trump will emerge the ultimate winner.

THAT NO MAN SHOULD BOAST

With all natural avenues to President Trump winning the election used up, the circumstances that will emerge to bring President Donald Trump to the white house for a second term will be of Devine intervention that no man should boast. The victory will be like nothing seen in modern times. It will be truly shocking.

 PECULIAR EVENTS IN WASHINGTON DC

As the electors from the states began to be counted, a peculiar set of events occurred. 

First, Vice President Mike Pence made a call that implied that he had no intention of defending President trump in the effort to make get the election audited and properly validated.

Suddenly, a group of people who were embedded in of the crowd supporting president Trump, made a move to the capitol building and pushed through the security forces and got into the various offices and chambers.  These people did not appear to be supporters of  President Trump  even though some actual supporters followed them into the building. A trump supporter was shot by security and later died.

Congress convened again after the area was cleared and the counting resumed.

President Trump is being roundly blamed for the incident and has lost some supporters in the houses of congress who had declared that they would object to some of Biden's electors.

In spite of this false flag incident, President Trump will still be elected president and the trusted prophets of our Lord Jesus Christ have declared that the world will celebrate when the truth in revealed and President Trump is declared the winner.

 TERRIFYING REVELATIONS INDEED

News broke this evening that a former U.S. President transferred almost half a billion dollars to foreign entities so that they could assist with the interference of the presidency of a sitting U.S. president and the subsequent presidential election. 

This emerges on the eve of the day that electors are counted in the U.S. House of Representatives by Vice President Mike Pence.

 THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES

The countdown to the conclusion of the U.S. presidential elections race continues.  Some major unveilings will occur over the next few days the final result of which will be the clear determination that the the election was won by President Donald Trump.

The prophets are firm on this conclusion.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TO WIN IN 2020.

To the natural eye, it would appear that President Trump has an insurmountable struggle to win the presidency for a second term.

So far, all the efforts of his supporters have seemed futile in the face of the massive wall of propaganda, intimidation and information control.

However, the Lord Jesus Christ, the mighty judge of heaven and earth, has purposed in Himself to have Mr. Trump as the president of the United States of America for a second term. 

The accomplishment of this astounding intervention of power will be credited only to the Lord so that His righteous majesty will be seen throughout the world.

  "...not of works, lest anyone should boast."     Ephesians 2:9  (NKJV)

This is the scriptural reference I was given to illustrate why all the hopes in the election administrators, the political parties and the courts have fallen short.

The Lord will accomplish His purpose and He alone will have the glory for His  victory which was established from before time began.

Believe in the Lord who made all things and remember with words of the Psalmist; 

"He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants."   Psalm 104 v4

 A PSALM FOR OUR PRESENT TIME

Psalm 83

 O God, do not remain silent;

    do not turn a deaf ear,

    do not stand aloof, O God.

2 See how your enemies growl,

    how your foes rear their heads.

3 With cunning they conspire against your people;

    they plot against those you cherish.

4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,

    so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”


5 With one mind they plot together;

    they form an alliance against you—

6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,

    of Moab and the Hagrites,

7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,

    Philistia, with the people of Tyre.

8 Even Assyria has joined them

    to reinforce Lot’s descendants.[b]


9 Do to them as you did to Midian,

    as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,

10 who perished at Endor

    and became like dung on the ground.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,

    all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 who said, “Let us take possession

    of the pasturelands of God.”


13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God,

    like chaff before the wind.

14 As fire consumes the forest

    or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

15 so pursue them with your tempest

    and terrify them with your storm.

16 Cover their faces with shame, Lord,

    so that they will seek your name.


17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;

    may they perish in disgrace.

18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord—

    that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Wednesday, November 11, 2020

 A prophecy for the United States:

Thus the says the Lord:  I have delivered you from the hand of darkness. I have provided a salvation for you by putting my servants among you to wrestle for the nation.

I will be glorified for the world shall see that darkness will retreat from the light that I bring.

I charge you with the task of taking the good news of my gospel to all the nations of the earth.  Use every resource that I bless you with to take every sea-route, every air-route, every road-way to take the good news of  my salvation to the world. Follow  every highway and byway to reach every person on the face of the earth. 

The days are short and there comes a day when no man can work.  Use the reprieve I have granted you to redeem the time. 

Amen.

TRUMP WINS A SECOND TERM !! WOW

Donald J. Trump has won a second term !

Yes, I know that CNN, MSNBC and all other media outlets are calling Biden the President-elect but this is a paltry fiction.

President Trump is the winner of this election cycle and further to that, he has long coattails that are pulling  new Republicans into the House of Representatives.

I am an analyst by trade and as a hobby, I watch the events of the world and weigh them to assess their meaning in the context of what is unfolding.

Having watched the election in the U.S. and followed the activities that have occurred from November 3rd 2020 till now (November  11 2020), I am confidently declaring that President Trump has won a second term and and will rise to be one of the greatest leaders in the history of the United States and indeed the world.

These are my reasons:

    Reasons that I support President Trump and think highly of him:

  • He has publically acknowledged the supremacy of Jesus Christ.
  • He has a down-to-earth disposition.
  • He is comfortable with regular people and understands their concerns.
  • He is a ferocious fighter and knows the 'Art of War'.
  • He is a forward thinker and makes preparation.
  • He economic prowess has given a reprieve from economic woe.
  • He is a believer in human liberty.
  • He has defended religious freedom.
    Reasons I know there was an attempt to rig the election :
  • Weird delays in the vote counts from certain states
  • Weird shutdowns of the vote counting operations in some states at night.
  • Weird reports of shipments of votes arriving at the polling stations in the night.
  • Weird prevention of Republican poll-watchers from watching vote counts.
  • Weird media behavior in calling or not calling states for candidates.
  • Weird media behavior of rushing to declare Biden the President-Elect.
  • Vote count progressions acted strangely the night of Nov 3rd 2020 and after.
  • Weird rush by the media to attack any person who questioned the vote counts.
  • Weird rush by the media to pressure people to congratulate Joe Biden.
  • Weird rush by twitter and face book to suppress questioning the vote count. 
  • Weird rush by some state Attorney Generals to join the challenge of the votes. 

   Reasons I know a sting op was successfully set up to counter the rigging :

  • Weird talk of QSF block-chain ballots that was quickly debunked and forgotten. 
  • President Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani's, weird  body language.
  • President Trump went golfing on November 7th 2020 and hung out with a random bride and bridesmaids for photos. So weird.
  • Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's weird smirk when asked about transitioning. 
  • Attorney General William Barr's weird meeting with Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell.
  • Weird move by Senator Lindsay Graham to support the president with $500k.
  • Independent analysts are now detecting anomalies in the reported vote counts.
  • Software company staff operating vote reporting software have emerged as whistle blowers.

These subtle hints are what have been given to reassure Republicans and conservatives that they won the election and that Joe Biden will soon be walked back from the position he and the operatives of the democratic country tried to usurp. 

I had received a personal assurance of the Trump victory and it will be glorious thing to watch it play out. 

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

                                                                Ephesian Chapter 6 verse 18

THE RETURN OF THE ALPHA

The shock-waves of the political and cultural bombshell that just went off in the United States are still reverberating around the world.

President Donald J. Trump took office and immediately launched an aggressive agenda that is setting an unfamiliar and muscular tone of economic expansion and moral certainty.

Each promise he fulfills and each step he takes to assert his will, he gains the trust of those who believe in his vision. He also gains the fear of those who took advantage of a passive and directionless United States to foster their dreams of ideological empire.

The new President is a monster in terms of personal achievement and force of will dwarfing all the ex-Presidents who sat behind him as he delivered his inaugural speech. He is probably one of the few human beings who could authoritatively dismiss the Presidencies of Obama, Bush, Clinton and Carter. When the line "This American carnage stops right here and stops right now." was delivered, the former leaders of the United States looked chastened and visibly shrank under the withering indictment.

After years of beta males and females mindlessly haranguing each other in squabbles over the direction of the troop, a silver-back gorilla has claimed his place and will ram his instinctive will on the affairs of the tribe. The deterioration and decay that has become an accepted backdrop of American life will indeed stop right here and stop right now.

As it turns out, the law of nature curves towards justice too.

STEVEN DENBESTE

Stephen DenBeste has passed away. In the early days of blogging, he showed a path towards a rigorously logical form of writing that inspired me among many others. I accidentally stumbled upon his blog U.S.S. Clueless and  was captured by the precision of thought he worked with. I used to wonder what it was like to have such a powerhouse for a brain.

He put a link on his blog to my humble platform and I was blown away  that he even knew I existed. I will always remember him for that.

Goodbye Steven.

OZYMANDIAS: A poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley


Ozymandias is a striking observation of the temporal nature of empires even when they seem to be unshakable. 







I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

THE HAIRCUT

I arrived at the barber shop under the sign "Men's Haircuts: $21.00". I pushed through the door to the sound of chimes and the low murmur of professionals.

"Hi", a cheerful voice called out from the rows of maroon-uniformed barbers. "Five minutes". 

I smiled and nodded at no one in particular and took a seat in the low leather couches that lined the waiting-room.  Looking around the pleasant establishment, I relaxed. This was going to work out after all. I had recently moved to the big city and was committing my scalp to a new barber after almost 20 years of barbering with Ted. 

Ted was a perfect barber. He had honed his craft on the islands of Hawaii where he mastered the styling of hair very much like mine. He was confident and fast yet a perfectionist with proportions and finish. I had followed him around as he bounced from one hairstylist's shop to another as barbers frequently do. I would phone in for a haircut and invariably learn that Ted was no longer there. Of course they would never say where he had gone because they didn't want customers following Ted to a new stylist's establishment.  Like a detective, I would hunt for him until I found him manning a chair in some dejected looking store at a discount mall.

"Who is next?" said a halting accented  voice. I looked up at the tall thin man standing uncertainly at the opening to the waiting room. The five other men who sat waiting turned to me. I rose from the deep couch and followed my new barber to his chair on the work floor.

He looked to be about twenty seven. Definitely from the Middle East  but the face shape and mannerism put him closer to Persia than Arabia. I watched him in the mirror as he draped the black apron around my shoulders. He exuded an air of uneasiness ... as though he had been trained too briefly and tossed out onto the stage before he felt ready.  

He spent a few moments fastening the cape to my neck and looked up with an expression of triumph when the last  button snapped in place. I surveyed his counter space as I tried to decipher what a celebration over the deployment of an apron meant. 

To the left was a tray holding an array of blade guards for electric  clippers. These guards determine  the length of hair the clippers leave on the head. The number two, for example, will leave about an eighth of an inch while a number three will leave about three eighths. 

A number of combs lay around a tall urn of what I assumed was an antiseptic fluid. The combs were speckled with hair and it was my turn to feel uneasy. "Head lice,  ringworm ... Ted would not have tolerated this."  

The barber addressed me in a muffled voice. "What we do for you?"  He had the odd look on his face of one who did not understand the words he had uttered. 

I began putting a theory together. 

The owner of the barbershop was asked by his brother in Iran or somewhere in those parts to bring a wayward son over to Canada where he would learn English and a skill that would transform him from a directionless hang-about to a man with an honest trade.  I had obviously intersected this story very early in the process. The English was not there and the barbering, though yet to be seen, had began ignominiously.

"Short on the sides and slightly longer on top", I said slowly. I pulled my hands out from under the apron to help me illustrate. I watched him trying to interpret what I was saying but even though he said "Yes", his eyes showed no recognition.

"And so it begins", I thought to myself as the clippers began buzzing around my ears. 

Using the number three, he cut the sides starting on my right, working round the back and ending on my left. Not noticing that his electric cord  had encircled my head, he yanked the clippers to get into position which jerked my head backwards like a Pez dispenser.  He mumbled what I  took to be an apology. I decided to be gracious and composed myself without protest.

He momentarily disappeared from view and reappeared holding a squirt bottle. After adjusting the nozzle, he shot several streams of water at the top of my head. He had intended to mist my hair but instead, water jets shot into my hair and rolled down my face in dentritic patterns ending at my chin. He adjusted the nozzle again and several more jets were shot at my head where they collected into rivulets and poured down my face.

He looked at the spray bottle with some puzzlement and then at my reflection in the mirror. He noticed the streams running down my bemused expression and darted off  returning with a tightly rolled towel. I smiled slightly to encourage him on but without unrolling the towel, he began dabbing my face like a tentative boxer jabbing his opponent's face with a glove. My head kicked back again as I vainly tried to avoid the blows.

Ted left the island life to return to the town where his mother lived. She was getting old and needed someone nearby so he abandoned his idyllic life of sun and surfing. I deduced that he had worked among people who were frantic to get out of the barber shop to return to the surf because he worked efficiently. He minimized  motion and effort...cutting hair with rapid snips and expertly flicking the cut hair away from the client. He would have one hand holding an ear away from the head while a finger guided the trimmers on an elliptical arch down the back of the head. He made very little contact with the subject's head and the subject appreciated that. 

The scissors, snipping seemingly at random, abruptly stopped. My stylist walked around me and began snipping at the same patch of hair from the other side. He dropped the scissors in an inexplicable fumble with his thumb and index finger. He said something under his breath and stooped to pick them up. As he continued, fragments of my black hair tumbled down my face and stuck to the moist tracks where water had  recently flowed. With vertical bands of dark hair plastered to my desperate face,  I looked like a caged ocelot.

After an extended period of mystifying actions, the barber stood back to look at his work. I looked at myself and had to suppress a pang of despair  The random snipping had resulted in an uneven conical shape cresting the top of my head like a Mesopotamian burial mound. I began to get up somewhat relieved that the ordeal was over but he pressed me back into the seat. Wagging his finger in what he clearly hoped was the universal semaphore for, "We are not done yet", he held his other hand under a spout that spewed a thick white cream. He smeared the ooze on my neck and sideburns then reached into a glass jar and pulled out a straight edge razor. 

"Oh", I gulped. "A straight edge razor? In a learner's hands?"

Using the mirror, I looked around the work floor at the other barbers but no one seemed alarmed. No watchful eye was turned our way.

After the fiasco with the scissors, he was surprisingly deft with the razor. The visions of a severed jugular faded as he cut neat edges on the back and sides of my hair. Perhaps his talent with the razor had channeled him down the path to personal hair care.  I modified my theory: His father in Iran had seen promise in his son's blade-work and had recommended him to a relative; the Canadian barbershop owner.

An industrial hairdryer was turned on and at last I began to feel at ease with the warm air blowing over my newly exposed head. Starting with a tingle, a violent nervous pulse coursed from the top off my head to my feet. I convulsed in my seat ducking from the hairdryer that had heated up to the temperature of the sun's core. He pointed the high-velocity plasma at the balding patch at the back of my head causing a frightening pain to explode in my brain. He must have seen my silent scream because he hurriedly shut off the magma gun and stepped away from me. 

I tugged at the cape and struggled to stand while gingerly touching my burned pate.

He seemed shell shocked and looked wildly around as I got to my feet.  He must have thought I was going to attack him.

The pain rapidly subsided so I decided to adopt my usual stoic persona rather than make a fuss. I thanked the young man curtly, paid my fee at the front desk and fled.

"Ted, where art thou?" I asked aloud as I drove out of the parking lot.

THE HOMOGENIZATION OF ENGLISH

English is a splendid language. It is scientific, poetic, pompous and earthy all at the same time.

English is the mother tongue of dwellers of a damp island called England and until the 1500s, was chiefly spoken by this single body of people. As history progressed, some of the inhabitants of the soggy island fled to the four corners of the earth and established English-speaking colonies.


In near isolation, the language began to mutate into variants like the Australian sing-song babble and the American snarl.

Had these populations remained apart for much longer, the English they spoke may have diverged to the point where speakers of the variants would have been totally foreign to each other. As it is, Canadians often finds  Australians difficult to understand and Americans look upon New Zealanders with stunned incomprehension.

The internet, in a great conjoining of separated twins, will bring the speakers of English back into the fold of a common language. I expect that the standards of spelling and word usage will be hammered back into alignment after so many years of straying.

No longer will the spellcheckers build in variations on word spellings for American, Australian, New Zealander, Caribbean, Indian, Sub-Saharan, Polynesian, Canadian and British English. There will be one standard and one alone.

I have decided to insist on certain rules as the process of homogenization gets underway.

Rules for the Homogenization of English

1] If there are two spellings for the same word e.g. color (American) and colour (British), the shorter of the two shall prevail unless of course the shortening of the word causes it to be ambiguous. In cases where the differently spelled words are the same length, the one that is phonetically straightforward shall be used. This process is already well underway in Canada where the spelling of centre is being widely replaced with center.

2] If there are two ways to pronounce a word that otherwise means the same thing e.g. 
Aluminum (American) and Aluminium (British),  the American pronunciation shall prevail owing to its military power. (Military power is a reliable way to resolve these types of things)

3] If two different words are used to depict the same thing e.g chips (American) and crisps (British), each side shall send an ovulating female to compete in a no-rules cage fight. The winner, determined by a tooth count after 4 hours, shall have the item officially named in the way that pleases her.

4] If one word is used to refer to two separate things  e.g.  bonnet (British to mean hood of a car) and bonnet ( American to mean rural female headgear), the country that has a
massed the largest number of naval battle groups with each group having the power to crush sizable oil-rich sultanates earns the right to have their word used by all others. In this case, the Brits, Aussies, Kiwis, Indians, Africans and all the rest will have to use the word bonnet to mean headgear and then rule #3 will be used to determine what word will be accepted to mean the panel that covers the motor of a car.

5] If two different slang words or abbreviations are used to depict a single item e.g. TV (American) and telly (British), the one that sounds the least infantile will be used.

6] If one population develops a technological advancement and names it, the other side is not allowed to make up its own name for the development. If, for example, the British develop a new underground mode of transportation and call it The Underground, all English speakers will be obliged to use the British name even if it sounds somewhat goofy.

7] If one side has changed the grammatical rules surrounding plurality of a word e.g. "Officer, I only had a couple of beer" (Canadian) and "
Constable, I only had a couple of beers" (British), the population of each side shall be enumerated and then divided by the number of grams of performance enhancing substances consumed by that country's contingent of Olympic athletes. The resulting number will then be further divided by the average body mass index of that nation's female sitting members of parliament and then multiplied by their age. The country that first abandons this calculation will be forced to adopt the  other's rules of plurality.

8] If a word is used only by one population group and will never be used by any other group for any reason at any time in the future, that word shall not be included in the universal spellchecker and will be treated as a regional curiosity. An example of such a word is the Canadian toque depicting a hat-like woolen skull mitten. If, for example, climate changes to the degree that Polynesians begin wearing woolen skull mittens, they are obliged to adopt the word used by the first wearers of skull mittens. If they insist on coming up with their own noun, Canada can throw in the flag and invoke rule #3 to resolve the matter.

9] If a population wants to use a French word to depict a new condition or item that has no current English word, the "French To English Word Migration Form" shall be filled out and submitted in triplicate to the "Center for the Rejection of French words". Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for a response.

10] If a word has no meaning whatsoever e.g. synergy, it shall be rejected and the person responsible for the coinage of the word will be flogged in public till the word is removed from all corporate mission statements. The nation that birthed this loathsome cretan shall pay a punitive portion of its GDP to all Canadian blogs that are named to connote a medical condition.
