Something “Stinky” in the White House!

I recently discussed the President's most recent refusal to pardon Border Agents Ramos and Compean with a friend who has been ardently petitioning for them to be pardoned or their sentences to be commuted (like Bush's good friend Scooter Libby).

“Why,” I asked, “does Karl Rove get so angry when asked about the President's refusal? What about this matter provokes such incendiary responses?”

My friend believes Rove is covering for the President and the President's “very close friend” U.S. District Attorney Johnny Sutton. The three of them have been close associates since their days in Texas. For some strange reason Bush has a special interest in this somewhat obscure case. He seems insistent that Sutton's overreaching in persecuting these two agents be vindicated.

My friend, who has contacts in the highest places in D.C., told me, “There is something stinky in the White House.”

Please understand that God HATES and DETESTS INJUSTICE and PARTIALITY when sentencing people (see above). He will see to it that Ramos and Compean get justice; and He will judge Bush, Rove, Sutton and the presiding judge for their complicity in placing these agents in solitary confinement.

The Wrath of God is a fearsome thing. “'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay' says the Lord” (Rom 12:19).

(See my most recent Alert which goes into greater detail about this matter in our archives, dated Dec 6: President Bush is Sinning)

Here are excerpts of an article about the President's very recent pardoning of drug dealers and other criminals, but not Ramos and Compean, despite the pleas for mercy from hundreds of thousands of concerned citizens:

President Bush Is Sinning

As you can see from the quotes just above, the Lord takes JUSTICE very seriously. In fact, it is one of two foundations of His Throne. [As an aside, following the Rule of Law is perhaps the most important secular reason our country has prospered.]

Regarding Justice, it is very important to the Lord that people be treated justly; that innocent people be acquitted and guilty people be condemned! He DETESTS it when innocent men are found guilty and punished (see above quotes). It is a fearsome thing to knowingly violate this Biblical principle! Having God detest your deeds should be terrifying.

“What does this have to do with President Bush? Harry, how can you accuse him of sinning?”

Answer: You may be familiar with the issue of the two Border Agents who were arrested, tried and put in solitary confinement for doing their job trying to stop a Mexican drug smuggler.

It appears the President, under pressure from Mexican authorities and in hopes of appealing to the Latino vote, was complicit in these agents being dealt with in this fashion. One of Bush's closest friends, fellow Texan U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, seems to have been urged to pursue this draconian policy.

Some of the above is conjecture based on inside information and observation of facts which have come out in the trials (see below).

However, it is absolute fact that President Bush has followed this case closely, has been in cahoots with his “very close friend” Johnny Sutton, and (most significantly) has REFUSED to commute the sentences or PARDON these agents who were only guilty of doing their jobs.

People of great importance in the conservative movement and the Republican Party have written the President, urging him to overturn these sentences. He has refused!! That is fact! Meanwhile, these two men rot in solitary confinement for 10 years! (Remember how quickly Scooter Libby's sentence was commuted.)

Thankfully the sentence so ardently sought by Sutton (obviously with the President's tacit approval) was the subject of a new hearing by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on December 3.

Before we present excerpts from an article which discusses this very complicated case, let me explain how I can say “Bush Is Sinning” (which I publicly asked one of his closest advisors to warn the President - “that God is not happy with this and will not smile on his presidency because of it”).

Again, let's review the situation from what we believe is God's perspective. Here we have two men who, according to unbiased news reports, have been unnecessarily persecuted by high authorities and jailed for long periods in solitary confinement. They should never have been accused or found guilty (important exculpatory evidence was withheld by Attorney Sutton AND the judge). Despite the pleas of very upright people of high integrity, the President REFUSES to overturn the decision and set them free. Why? Ask Johnny Sutton, Karl Rove and President Bush himself.

But, God is on the Throne and He detests this politically-based perversion of JUSTICE. It is sin!

Here are some excerpts from an article which unpacks the details involved (Please read the entire article, in order to truly understand):

Border Agents case gets holiday push by Johanna Neuman

How Do You Feel About the ‘Gang-Rape’
in Annapolis? I’m SAD!

Shortly after the conclusion of the first day of the “Peace” conference in Annapolis, it is difficult to be anything but very, very SAD.

“Why are you sad, Harry? Don’t you want ‘Peace’? Didn’t Jesus call you to be a ‘Peacemaker’ (see Mt 5:9)?”

“Yes”, but not at the price of ignoring the two foundations of His Throne, Righteousness and Justice (see Ps 89:14).

Also, certainly not if this “Peace” defies the Lord’s specific Prophetic Warnings and Will. As we explained in my most recent Alert (see Nov 21st Alert here), the Lord does not want the Biblical lands He designated to the Israelis as an “everlasting covenant” (i.e. FOREVER!) to be divided up.

[For a more thorough explanation of the very significant prophetic words about “touching” Israel and Jerusalem, please read Paragraph 5 of my Alert referenced above.]

Again, as my recent Alert warned, those who instigate the division of these lands have historically suffered devastating natural DISASTERS as a consequence of God’s Wrath (see the article by John McTernan, Burden for America, which reviews this in great detail).

Then, of course, I’m sad because my very own country and President (for whom I had such high hopes) have instigated this travesty.

“Harry, what do ‘righteousness and justice’ have to do with the Annapolis meeting?”
The authors listed below do a fine job of answering that very good question. Suffice it to say, these meetings are “unjust” and “not-right” for several reasons:

“Peace” is unattainable because it is not the goal of most of the participants – the punishment and elimination of Israel is!

The motives of the leaders of these meetings are “not-right”. Their motives seem to be vainglory, legacy building, humiliating Israel, acquiring land for themselves (e.g., the Golan Heights for Syria) and desperately trying to stay in office at home (e.g., Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel), etc.

Desperately trying to appease Israel’s enemies (who are driven by an anti-Semitic spirit), Israel will probably further shrink herself by giving away more land and security in hopes of winning approval from people and nations who hate her and will NEVER do anything but “curse” her.

It is certainly “unjust and not-right” for us to foster a terrorist state on the borders of Israel.

Frank Gaffney (see below) sums it up: it’s a “Gang-Rape”, one which sounds great to dull, misunderstanding ears but, in reality, will have devastating repercussions for both Israel (our supposed “ally”) and the United States.

So, please study the articles listed below. The topic is so complex and arcane. Together, these writings provide deep and well-rounded understanding of the perils posed by George Bush’s meetings. May God have mercy on us all!

Sadly,

DANGER: URGENT PRAYER NEEDED
TO FOIL ANNAPOLIS MEETING

There are many objections I have about President Bush's past decisions. These include his immigration policies; his cozy appeasement of Mexico's Presidents; his refusal to pardon the two border agents (Ramos and Compean) whom his good Texas buddy and appointee U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton arranged to have imprisoned in solitary confinement; supporting LOST (see www.rejectlost.com); signing the McCain-Feingold Finance Bill; holding Islamic Ramadan soirees in the White House and elsewhere; etc., etc.

[I want to establish that there are many things he has done for which I am very grateful - his support for innocent unborn babies and his stem cell policies, his tax policies, and his judicial nominees are major examples.]

However, he is embarking on this Israeli - Palestinian (so-called) “Peace Conference” in Annapolis, Maryland, on Tuesday, November 27. The Iraq war notwithstanding, this effort to build himself (and Condoleezza Rice) a “legacy” could have very severe consequences for our nation.

How can I say that? Isn't “Peace” desirable? Doesn't “the world community” (most of whom are cruel dictators, communists or socialists) yearn for this? Most would answer “Yes”. But it is unattainable and, even worse, this specific “peace” effort goes directly against God's Prophetic Word about Israel.

His Prophetic Word warns:

1. Israel is “the apple of His eye;” woe to those who “touch” her for He will shake His Hand against them. (see Zech 2:8-9);

2. He gave the land in question (especially Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as an everlasting covenant (what don't some people understand about “everlasting”?) [see Ps 105:9 and others];

3. He warns “nations” not to “divide up my land” or face severe “judgment” (see Joel 3:2);

4. He flatly states that ALL who seek to “heave it away” (i.e., remove the heavy burden of the Jerusalem crisis) will be utterly destroyed for getting involved; they will be “cut in pieces” (see Zech 12:3-9);

5. He warns that “as you have done (to Israel) so it will be done to you” (Obed 15).

You may read these prophetic warnings with disbelief. Please don't do so too hastily. For years, we at the Capitol Hill Prayer Alert have been interacting with ministries which have been tracking the distinct relationship between ignoring God's warnings about dividing His covenant land of Israel and subsequent natural disasters which have devastated our nation (including Katrina, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, and stock market crashes). One ministry we trust has “documented over 50 such correlations”.

Please click here and read: Burden for America by John McTernan

These ministries believe that, based on the Word of God and His Warnings, as well as the actual correlations they have seen, President Bush's attempt to force Israel to give up more land (remember Gaza!) will bring us under God's Wrath in greater intensity (they believe this could play out in our economy).

I realize this will sound new and even strange to some, so here is a list of articles which explain the unrealistic natural and prophetic aspects of what is at stake here:
