The World Greives-Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio) Has Died

/ HPLACharities.org / Leave a comment

After blessing the world with his Easter Week tour and bringing joy to the world God the Father decided to take His Servant of Servants’ home. In his last days and after having survived many days of near-death illnesses Pope Francis gave up the ghost. It is fitting that he was able to bring such joy and hope this week as it is custom at this time of year. “Our Lord Has Risen” as our brother Pope Francis receives his crowns in heaven. Jesus Christ died in a very gruesome way before he rose again fully healed and whole. Pope Francis, having the wonder of modern medicine died peacefully and with little pain. As promised however he has his reward of eternal life and is in peace to live in heaven with Jesus who is sitting at the right hand of his Father God (Jehovah, Yahweh, El Shaddai etc.) May his earthly body rest in Peace.

Religion has been with us always and may have started by humans based on miraculous, mysterious and unexplainable occurrences. What was unexplainable had to come from some power beyond their understanding. That power received a name at some point and time in history. Some evidence suggests that a belief in God emerged during the Middle Paleolithic era (roughly 200 thousand years ago). In that time span and onto today, man has not only tried to confirm God’s existence but unfortunately has created such disagreement as to pin brother against brother nation against nation. Many individuals have tried to convince their audiences that they are God. That they have the power to perform miracles and give and take life. Alexander the Great believed he was god and his destiny was to conquer. More often the concept of “Divine right of Kings” reinforced the idea that rulers were divinely appointed without claiming to be gods themselves. The greater the power, wealth, ego and the propaganda the easier it was to convince the people that the word of the leader was true and of God.

Brainwashing is very much alive and well today. The greatest power may be that today’s Pharaohs are those not only with great wealth but with the ability to convey the idea they are divinely appointed. As intimes past some cultures came to believe they were the chosen. They believed their doctrine was the only one valid. Again, the most powerful and those with the ability to convince enough people were chosen as the winners of the rule. Majority rules, but within the majority there is a pecking order and those that are unable to show themselves worthy of recognition or of some use are dispatched. Those that are most popular become the leaders.

This theme remains relevant today. The wealthy and those most capable of convincing people of their being called of God are the winners. If anyone is able to repel the leaders, they too can be dispatched. However, with the rule of law today killing someone is not easy to do so the next best thing is to buy allegiance. That can be done with money or more often with fear. Not the fear of death but the fear of being ostracized and abandoned. That includes those individuals closest to the leader. Looking at dictators in the world today it can be seen that what I say is true. To have one final leader where all questions are answered and carry the final rule is not all bad. That is unless that final rule has no use for anyone that brings no value to the table. A chicken stricken with the bird flu is of no value, maybe even a danger and must be destroyed.

The United States was born with the premise that “We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”. Through our process of fair and free elections we have established a bicameral US Congress consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The two houses serve as a check on each other’s power, ensuring that no single branch becomes overly influential. Then enters the executive branch, led by the president. His role is to enforce laws passed by congress, serve as the commander-in-chief and can veto legislation. He can also declare executive orders. These leaders all work for the people. However today we have the executive branch through the election of the people taking on a role that more resembles that of a Pharaoh more so then a president. The fear is that he considers many who bring no value to the table and must be ostracized. As to the size of the government there is no doubt that much of the work being done to manage the country is not being done efficiently and there may be lots of duplications. Over the course of the country’s 245-year history positions have been created in times of need and not eliminated when no longer needed. This needs to be done now. Not with a chainsaw but with a scalpel. Not with disregard but with empathy. Unfortunately, I have been in a situation where my position was no longer needed but was given time to adjust and provided with a severance package to sustain me until I could find another position. Dismissal without warning or cause is un-American. I have been fired too, but that is another story for another time and does not apply here.

“We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”.

As a non-profit HPLA Charities operates without paid staff. We do not have duplications of jobs; we operate strictly with donated dollars and have nowhere to cut. The donations we receive are tax deductible and we do not pay taxes to the government. The classification of a 501c3 is given to an organization which serves to be charitable. Those who have payrolls and paid staff do have to take deductions from their staff and be sent to the government, but the dollars being spent on low-income homeowners needing repairs are not taxable, this is a way for the government to secure the prosperity of those who might otherwise be treated as a chicken with the bird flu. The one donating is not taxed and the one receiving the donation is not taxed. This is a policy that helps make America Great and should never be lost. The Pope was well noted as one who cared daily of those in need. Their spiritual needs aside it was their basic physiological needs that Pope Francis wanted everyone to have. HPLA’s leadership is of the same mind, and we do it through volunteers and tax-deductible contributions.

Help keep America Great and let our group of unpaid volunteers use your donations to keep those who are in need “through no fault of their own” stay alive. DONATE

Happy Easter, condolences to the families and friends close to the Pope and may God Bless America for giving us life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The Rule of a Monarch

/ HPLACharities.org / Leave a comment

All indications point to a historical beginning for the lands we now know as the United States of America. It was just prior to 1776 when citizens rebelled and said “we will not be ruled by a king” they referred to the fact that many colonists were angry because they did not have self-government. This meant that they could not govern themselves and make their own laws. As King of Great Britain, during the American Revolution King George III had become to many Americans a byword for tyranny and the arrogance of the European aristocracy that ruled over them.

In the next few days, we will seriously need to watch if we have not come full circle and once again be governed by tyranny and arrogance. Not by a foreign entity but by a demon of our making. We must be watchful of witch hunts and deceptions. We are moving into an era of the lowest IQs among the populous and that of a new generation being deprived from historical truths. The results of which will allow history to repeat itself. The results of which also could make us all slaves to a very few. To relent we must start with painting every living sole without any color nor difference from one and other. I am and you are a human being, and we are “not different”. We are not above one and other we are equals. Those that we look up to as leaders must be equals working for all our benefit and not for self-interests.

Blogs like these are a dime a dozen and bring lots of food for thought and attention to what it is that we need to be concerned with, but bottom line these blogs make no difference and create little movement in ideology. You or I will not wake tomorrow doing anything different. However, this blog may create a subliminal thought which will make an impact on a decision in a future event. Unconsciously we are led by thoughts, expectations and emotions. My hope is that those thoughts are of doing good things and insuring the survival of each other and not the elimination of any.

Today we are at war with an ideology that some citizens are indeed inferior and should be eliminated. The divisions are very splintered and hard to define. As an example, different cultures, no doubt skin color, gender, etc., but mostly today it is the thought that America should rule the world, as Britian thought years ago. “We will offer the best lifestyle for all inhabitants of the earth”. The downside is that many inhabitants of this world want no one overseeing them. The life of freedom under the rules of democracy are not appealing nor are the rule of any overseer. They are handcuffed to rules which are supposed to provide equity to all, but someone has to manage the goods and thus comes the conflict. Hedonistic greed and power. The exalting of deities that created themselves or emerged from a chaotic state. Weather Brahma from Hinduism or Atum from Egyptian mythology. All have been used to manipulate and abuse the sincere and humble. In America it is Jesus Christ. Yes, those guilty of sin will burn in hell, but it does no good here on earth for God’s wrath to fall on those guilty of these atrocities in the afterlife. Leaders take heed, God is watching.

Education on world history and scientific evidence has to be accepted and not disputed for that same hedonistic utility, greed told by any one lying influencer. Walk on water for me Ms./Mr. and you may get my attention. Action toward honesty and good will work better to win my vote and the role of a leader rather than any division and fear you bring. The King must be seen as one with no clothes if he is indeed walking around naked. We are each looking for peace and tranquility. The ability to provide for the ones we love. If the religions of the world, make a law that anyone loving and keeping a dog is punishable by death it won’t take long to get that law thrown out. Why is it any different for loving any other human being?

HPLA Charities has one mission and that is to provide basic physiological needs to those who cannot afford to provide them for themselves. We start with shelter. Insuring folks have a place to live safely and out of harm’s way. Lately we have built a ramp for a disabled person to get in and out of their home safely. We have provided food for two households due to very difficult circumstances. We have fixed leaky faucets and lighting. We have installed handrails and put up tarps to keep the wind at bay. We have replaced rotted wood on exterior buildings and homes. We did not ask what religion, culture or political affiliation the client sided with. We just helped. We hear it over and over from folks in need and with health issues. I just want to stay in my home as long as I can. Aside: We just fulfilled that promise to a 90-year-old client of nearly 10 years. In her last days she only was only out of her home for one month before passing.

How do we do with no paid staff, no grants or sponsors? We do it with donations from folks like you that appreciate us helping when you cannot. We are your hands and feet, and we carry your love and caring with us on every job. What would Jesus do today? I am sure he would do the same. He walked the earth and healed and helped never having a cent to his name. Never asking their culture or religion. Folks provided him all that was needed to get the job done. We do it because of you and through your donations via www.hplacharities.org/donate.

We still live in a democracy where the majority of the publics voice still rules. We cannot be all things to all people all of the time, but we can be some things to some people part of the time. We are part of thousands who still care for the low-income citizens of our free country and work daily to help them survive while allowed to live. Most of those we serve are folks that are in need through no fault of their own. Those who serve give of their time and money willingly.

God Bless

The Divine Call for Peace: Insights for 2025

/ HPLACharities.org / Leave a comment

From the Desk of Robert Flores, Chairman and Founder of HPLA Charities aka Habitaciones Para Latinos Association. In an unpublished story that I have begun to write, my title will be shocking and certainly controversial. “The Words of the Real & Only GOD for 2025 and Beyond” Wow, can we all have a field day with this one. Please take it seriously and think about it. As the inhabitants of this world, the majority has no say in what is to be done for us going forward. Highlight the word majority. The greatest gift we should give ourselves as humans is PEACE. Love thy neighbor as thyself and do not covet. This has been demanded by most modern-day representatives of our creator as they received the command directly from GOD. Just ask them, they will tell you that’s the truth. If we can look through the eyes of the one and only true GOD and believe that peace is paramount for our population to exist, then we have to settle some serious issues amongst GOD’s people. It has to start with those who are called to be GOD’s representatives. Those whom we pay to receive GOD’s Truth and pass it down. I dare not go back any further than the times documented in the Christian Holy Bible, The Catholic Bible, The Muslim Bible (Qur’an), The Hindu Vedas, etc. The unrest or lack of peace has come from places and people on the earth whose “religions” feel certain lands belong to them. This may be the only reason there is no peace. These people have the idea that GOD has guaranteed them a specific place on earth and anyone who disagrees is wrong. NOT!

If the truth beknown unrest or peace will never exist because GOD gave us all the “will” to do whatever we want with a few exceptions. The purpose of my message is not to cover all the reasons why there is no peace or unrest although a few should be listed: The obvious is economic changes, political changes and social changes. Religion, governance and politics along with human rights, and justice are fundamental to society and have historically caused many conflicts. Instead, the purpose of my message is to remind each one of you the destruction that these conflicts bring to us, the inhabitants of this world. In 2025 the loss of life and more so, the destruction of our habitats maybe the worst they have ever been. I have not researched the data going back to the wars of the 1800’s 1900’s or those thus far in the 2000’s but suffice it to say we are living in some very scary times where the destruction of cities, the loss of innocent lives and the ridiculous reasons that is perpetuating the destruction of resources is absolutely asinine. Can you side with needing to destroy resources and kill people due to who drew first blood? Absolutely. Can you abhor or find repugnant one country attacking another for the want of that country’s resources? Yes. The problem is that in desperation someone is going to come and try to get something from us. It maybe to retaliate or just to acquire needed resources. It maybe because the US has become a “Sodam and Gomorrah” and GOD wants to rain fire and sulfur on our cities. Whatever happens many of us will become a detriment a liability. We will have no say and while some will have underground bunkers and safe places to survive the bulk of the population will not. We must demand that all issues and retaliation due to disagreements STOP before they impact the US.

We have an opportunity to start 2025 with the knowledge that the one GOD, creator of the universe, says it’s time to STOP. Time out, start over, half time. GOD’s Army must come together and ensure that everyone has all their basic needs met. Yes, all over the world. The cost of exploring other planets may have great value but not at the cost of human life and human dignity here on earth. The money spent on explosive devises thus far in all the conflicts going on in the world would put every person on earth on a balanced budget. Every basic physiological need met. (Food, shelter, safety and a significant other).

So, this “PIE IN THE SKY” idea has to be put into action. It has to start with peace and equity for all. It has to continue by being contented with what you have. Drugs, alcohol, piercings and tattoos are a luxury not a basic need for survival. Living on the street begging for your next meal while covered head to toe with ink, piercing and silver is not meeting your own basic needs. (Food, shelter, safety, and a significant other). Some folks just need a dog or cat for their significant other. That is good for me. Where do we as a society begin, where do we go first? For me it is trying to ensure that those folks who are working or even begging to acquire their basic physiological needs get the leg up to get those things they need now. Any homeowner that is trying to have one dollar left over every month when all the bills for basic needs are met and needs an extra dollar for baby formula or a leaky faucet fixed can get it. No not for cigarettes or beer, but even then they should be helped. There are hundreds of charities in play that are established to help in any area of your life. In Kansas there are 811, 311, 211 numbers that are there to help. Reserve 911 for life threating scenarios.

HPLA Charities is one charity I manage that can help with home repairs and a place to call for help. We will try to get you to the right place to obtain your basic physiological needs. Call 913-269-4450 and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
