Psalms 94
1Yahvah, god to whom vengeance belongs, god to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
2Lift yourself up, judge of the land; render a reward to the proud.
3Yahvah, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked boast?
4They will utter and speak unjust things; they will speak all kinds of evil things.
5For they have humbled your people, Yahvah, and subdued your heritage.
6They slay the widow and the innocent, and murder the fatherless.
7Yet they say, Yahvah does not see, nor does the god of Jacob regard it.
8Understand, you stupid among the people and you fools, when will you be wise?
9He who planted the ear, will he not hear? He who formed the eye, will he not see?
10He who chastises the nations, will he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge, will he not know?
11Yahvah knows the thoughts of man; they are like a breath. (50:3:20)
12Blessed is the man whom you chasten, Yahvah, and teaches out of your law;
13that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be dug for the wicked.
14For Yahvah will not cast off his people, nor will he forsake his inheritance.
15For judgment will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up against the workers of iniquity?
17Unless Yahvah had been my help, my soul would soon have been in trouble.
18When I said, My foot slips, your mercy, Yahvah, held me up.
19In the multitude of my sorrows, inside my heart your comforts delight my soul.
20Evil rulers will not have fellowship with you, for they have framed mischief against your law.
21They lay snares to trap the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22But Yahvah is my defense; and my god is the rock of my refuge.
23And he will bring on them their own iniquity, and will silence them in their own wickedness; yes, Yahvah our god will silence them.
Jone's Resignation
US President Barack Obama has appointed an estimated 31 Czars to oversee various aspects of his administration without constitutionally mandated congressional oversight. One of those appointments resigned in controversy, triggering Sunday morning TV coverage of the affair.
Various conservative news outlets, including Glen Beck on Fox, had called for his resignation. Because of Obama's generally weak position, Van Jones resigned rather than face the controversy over his positions, including support for 911 truth and name calling of Republicans in general. He also self-described himself as a communist.

The Psalm touches on the problem of evil rulers. (See verse 20.) And it suggests that God himself causes evil rulers to fall into their own traps. (See verse 23.) Verses 16 and 17 ask the question who will help us when we are faced with wicked rulers, and it teaches that God himself will step in.
Of course in modern US political practice it is usually somewhere in media where these issues first come to light, and in this case it was political media that first addressed Van Jones.
The timing of this resignation is essentially right. Theoretical time is 1:30 PM on Sunday, and it was during the Sunday morning TV shows that Van Jones' resignation became widely known. Some news outlets indicated a Sunday resignation, while others indicated a Saturday evening time.
Jones' was the Czar for clean energy, one of the ways that Obama intends to enslave Americans. Articles from WND that implicate Jones in anti-American activities include:
- Jones worked with a founder of the Weather Underground.
- Jones formed a group to get advertisers off Fox, targeting Glen Beck in particular.
- Jones was screened by ACORN and the socialist party before appointment at the White House.
- Jones lead a vigil on 911 in support of Arabs and Muslims.
- Jones called for changing the entire governmental system of the USA.
- Jones published and then scrubbed a communist manifesto named STORM.
- Jones was the main speaker at an anti-war rally where he urged resistance against the US Government.
- Jones signed a petition urging resistance against police.
All this from just 1 of the 30 or so Czars in Obama's administration. What a record.
