November 8-12: "Jesus, Justice, & Poverty: STOP the Traffic"
www.jjp-stopthetraffic.org
Several University of Iowa campus ministries have gathered together to plan an evocative week about human trafficking and bonded slavery world-wide.
They are hosting a variety of events, including a Geneva Lecture by special guest, John Richmond. Although currently a prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Justice Domestic Trafficking Division, Mr. Richmond will be here on behalf of International Justice Mission. Mr. Richmond served a number of years as IJM's field director in Chennai, India, where he pioneered IJM's work in fighting bonded labor.
Join them for his lecture entitled "Human Trafficking: A Modern-Day Challenge", November 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the 2nd Floor Ballroom at the IMU on the University of Iowa campus.
See all the events planned for this week at www.jjp-stopthetraffic.org.

I would love to see a group of people come together and work on a joint project of compiling the ultimate video evidence on the internet of exploitation, abuse, genocide, pollution, embezzlement, theft, cover up, conspiracy as practised by establishment figures in banking, industry, military, intelligence, media and govenment who protect their racket by imposing a code of silence upon lower echelons of management on the pain of death or injury to family and friends.
I believe that since an essentially Roman ideology and system of government took root in the development of politcs and commerce in Europe, a much deeper and profoundly sinister system of government also took root which has identified itself with ancient occult ideas and practices not dissimilar from those that gave the Emperors and their military cohorts such a supernatural hold on power.
The internet is soon going to come under some sort of political control by an establishment that dearly wants to protect its autocratic power,. I believe time is short for those of us who see the internet as the modern 'agora' for social discourse and exposure of elite crooked systems.
I am conscious too of the 2nd coming and of the need to look closely at the roots of social, religious and political development. In particular the role of the Roman and Jewish spirit that infected the gospel with ideas that have roots in things antagonistic to Jesus.
The time is now, for Jesus Christ to be recognsed as Lord - p r o p e r .
