      18년 전, 1994년 10월과 1995년 초에 (면목동, 남양주, 일산 건영 아파트, 수유리) 24시간 살인학살의 고문들과 강탈들 그리고 파괴들을 저지르며 기독교 라디오 방송국의 주파수를 하나 따로 내어서 24시간 살인학살의 강도의 만행들의 범죄들과 범행들을 저지르며 성경의 말씀들을 악용들을 하여서 거짓들과 모함들의 조작들로 범행의 방송들을 내 보내며 자신들의 상상을 초월을 하는 살인학살의 강도의 짓들과 범죄들 그리고 범행들을 숨기고 완전범죄를 저지른다고 하며 감히 신의 종이신 프로펫 이 님을 미쳤다고 하며 마귀가 씌었다고 하는 저질에 악질에 범행의 방송들을 내 보내고 나중에는 MBC FM 라디오 팝송 프로그램에 목사라고 하는 남자 놈이 기어 나와서 ‘신의 종인 프로펫 이 님을 도와 주려고 했는데 이제는 어쩔 수가 없다’며 거짓의 조작들로 합리화를 시키며 숨어서 24시간 살인학살의 고문들과 테러들 그리고 강탈들과 파괴들은 물론이고 생체실험들을 저질러 오고 있다.

      KBS 1 한국 방송국 ‘아침 마당’ 프로그램에 진행을 맡고 있던 이상벽이라는 살인학살자 놈이 프로그램 진행 중에 연예인들을 모아 놓고 ‘미국에서는 존경을 받고 엄청난 존재인 프로펫 이 가 한국에서 저렇게 미쳐서 돌아 있으니 .... 쯪쯪쯪’ 라는 아가리를 두서도 없이 끼어 넣기 방송식으로 지껄이고 아는 사람들이 그렇게 생각을 하도록 유도를 했다.
      지금 그 근거의 방송 프로그램들을 숨기기 위해서 악법인 방송법 중에 3개월 지난 것은 파기를 하고 없앤다는 말도 안되는 아가리를 지껄이며 일반 사람들에게 공개를 하지 않고 있다. 이승만 정권 전부터인 일제시대 부터 기록 자료들이 넘쳐나는 상황에서 말이다.

      My heart and prayers go out to the famailys of those killed and injured during Irene's push through each of their states.
      I'm impressed with the preparations that were coordinated and put into place in each state well in advance of Irene's strike. Everything was handled with such careful consideration of the many people faced with this threat. God Bless all of you. Had you not put this plan into effect I'd hate to hear how many more would have lost their lives. Hurricanes are nothing to mess around with. My motto is " better safe than sorry". We must always remember Andrew and Katrina and learn from them.

      May we all remember those who lost loved ones and friends in "Irene". May we Pray for them in such a painful time as this. "May the Lord Bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and give you strength and peace". Let us also pray for those who lost their homes and all.

        May the Lord Help you too "Rodzor". Our Lord knows when people need prayer. I WILL continue to pray for them. Maybe someday you will do the same. He loves you more than you will ever know . His name is Jesus and He died on a cross and rose again from the grave. If you were the only person on earth He would have done it just for you! Just think about it. OK?

      The trees are avenging the destruction of the forests by human, as you can see that the storm's deaths are mostly caused by trees.
      Sad commentary but sad world of ours as well.

      It's hard to sympathize with people who chose to play in the surf, but I do have sympathy for their families.
    • Linda  •  9 mths ago
      I don't understand why people don't take these kind of storms seriously, common sense should guide you to seek safety and don't think that a hurricane of this magnitude is not deadly. maybe because they have never been in hurricanes before, either way sorry for their deaths and May They Rest Peace, condolences to their families, peace be with them.
    • Big Head  •  9 mths ago
      Its sad that half of the deaths by the hurricane could have easily been prevented. When theres a hurricane, you dont camp out in a tent, go cut down trees, or go driving through high waters. Its not that the hurricane was that bad, its just the people didnt use common sense.
      • Uldi 9 mths ago
        It's well over half, actually. Only 7 should be legitimately counted as caused by Irene. The others were due far more to stupidity than anything else; i.e. people out in the storm for no good reason.
    • Hank  •  9 mths ago
      Hey, Whats Up Dick, quite being a #$%$ Everyone knows presidents' vacations are WORKING vacations. Quit being an idiot because you undermine your own rant. Look where Bush was taking his "vacations" - at his ranch (at no cost to the taxpayers) and at Camp David (at no extra cost to taxpayers because Camp David is already funded by taxapayers). The issue is WHERE Obama takes his vacations and hauling is wife and kids around to the tune of extra millions of dollars to the taxpayers. How many times have the Obama's vacationed at their home or at Camp David you dipweed?Personally, I believe the nation would be better served if your butt buddy Obama would go on permanent vacation and stay out of Washington. A sack full of hammers would have had a more successful administration the last 2.5 years than Obambi who has now shafted America with another 4.7 TRILLION in debt and unemployment over 9% the last two years. Obama has done far more harm trying to impose his neo-Marxist, redistributionist, Keynesian policies than if he had done nothing at all and let the economic cycles play themselves out. Obama is the perfect poster child for "stupid is as stupid does."Which is more true:Liberalism is a mental diseaseor Liberalism is the opiate of useful idiots

      The insensitive comments on this board are exactly what is wrong with this country. This was a hurricane, a natural disaster- and people turn it into a political fight. This is a time when people should be pulling together and helping one another, instead it is 'my storm was bigger than your storm'. America has truly lost her moral bearings.....

    • Hank  •  9 mths ago
      Hey morons, natural disasters kill people just about every time they happen. This hurricane was a total bust as far as hurricanes go and it was definitely over-hyped by the national socialist media in order to distract from Obama's utter failure. BTW, what has Obamby done for those still suffering in Joplin that are putting their lives back together without whining or significant aid from the freakin' federal government? And how about the drought in Texas and Oklahoma that is now destroying trees, livestock and has killed hundreds of people in the last three months. Why isn't the media giving that 24/7 coverage?

      My family and I lived through hurricanes in Texas (in 1961 the eye of Hurricane Carla went right over our house), tornadoes in the mid-west, and earthquakes in California and we never whined and begged for government to bail us out in the aftermath. Our communities pull itself by its own bootstraps, churches helped out, and local public utilities and the private sector grew a pair and took care of business. I'm sick and tired of people bowing down to Obama or bowing down to the federal government pleading for deliverance. SUCK IT UP and man up ... real Americans hate whiners. Americans have become little more than wusses in not being able to deal with hard-core reality. Wait until the really big one hits and hundreds of thousands of people are killed by earthquake or hurricane or meteorist strike or even a terrorist dirty bomb. I don't think most Americans are going to be able to handle that and liberals will whine that it's Bush's fault.

      Billions of dollars when it is all said and done.
    • Epolite  •  9 mths ago
      Check out the stats on how many people die in these 8 states over any two or three day period of the year and you will find it is probably just as many even many more than 18. But to make this news worthy the media will blame the hurricane, plus this morning when the TV newscaster was talking about how bad things were the sky had nice white clouds and there appeared to be a nice breeze blowing, Even though the newscaster was dressed like she was going deep sea Alaskan crab fishing . ridiculous.
