Friday December 14, 2012, was a day
from hell in the small, lily white
gorgeous town of New Town, nestled in the beautiful valley in
western
Connecticut
State, US. This town is just 60 miles west of the big city of
Hartford, CT, on US Route 84 that runs east to west through
several
Northeastern US states. I am very familiar with this area, as for
four years when my daughter was studying in a college in
Massachusetts, I used to drive through this valley to take her to
her
college from my home about 400 miles to the south.
This gentle valley of rolling hills is a geographically most
beautiful
part of northeastern US. Several high tech industries are located
in
the towns in this area. This area is affluent, clean, moderate
weather, free of congestion and contains quaint townships of
pretty
shops, restaurants and pretty houses.
But in this heaven like town in America an evil took root in the
mind
of a young man who just turned twenty - a psychologically deranged
loner. He picked up several guns that his mother kept in the house
for self protection and went on a killing rampage against innocent
people whom he did not even know. After first killing his mother
who
loved him so much, he went to the nearby elementary school and
shot
dead 20 innocent and beautiful children, none of them older than 7
years of age, and 6 of their teachers, all of them white. Then as
police arrived at the school he shot himself dead.
This hellacious event on earth occurred in a township that
resembles what towns in heaven must be like. What is shocking is
that
in the last one year this gory and horrible scene has occurred
every
two or three months in various parts of US, all of them pristine
small
towns.
This tragedy has broken the heart and mind of America and has
shocked
America's conscience and forced it to examine its society. It is
a time of great sadness for the entire humanity. But it should
especially make
America, that is becoming increasingly God-less, and where
God's basic guidance to mankind is violated by many every single
day,
introspect.
For decades now American troops have attacked far away lands
annihilating villages and towns and rampaging innocent civilians;
and
then giving explanations that do not make sense. From Vietnam to
Iraq
to Afghanistan to western Pakistan a large number of innocent
civilians, children, women, old men have perished with the
onslaught of
the drones and "smart bombs" and "Agent Orange", often when they
were
asleep in the night; Israel's brutal annihilation of Palestinians
for 50 years is consistently defended.
God is sending a message to those in America who think that their
vast
superiority in military technology and weaponry and their smart
science
& technology systems can conquer everything and everyone. They
should remember that in the past vastly superior
militaries/technology
of the Aad people, Pharohs, Romans, Genghis Khan etal also over
ran
everyone. But then as they became overtly sure of their might and
technology, and no one could match them, evil from within their
ranks
imploded them and they were destroyed. Majority
of Americans are good people and do not believe in wronging anyone
let
alone the poor civilians of Vietnam or Iraq or Afghanistan. But a
few
are becoming too arrogant and desirous of world domination by any
means.
This is time for the powerful and affluent Americans as a nation
to
realize that it is God's law that, "What goes around, comes
around".
America is the world's greatest nation, not only scientifically,
militarily advanced but also a land of maximum collection of very
gifted and talented
people. In the last 100 years they have built a great nation with
much hard work and enterprise. They should now listen to God's
signs
that are coming up everywhere in this glorious land every few
months
in the form of insane killings
perpetrated by their own well to do white people. The answer lies
in
reflecting seriously and finding a way out. God will help them
remove
this curse and scourge if they listen and learn and change their
country’s
direction to a straight path.
