IS IT TRUE April 8, 2012
IS IT TRUE that tomorrow is the first time that there is an opportunity to open the floor for discussion at the Evansville City Council where the vote to make a $4.8 Million loan was shoved through under duress two weeks ago?…that there are many legitimate vetting questions that have gone unanswered and even questions from City Councilman John Friend were ignored by Debbie Dewey of GAGE in the name of proprietary information?…that we have seen Councilman Friend’s questions and have formulated some of our own and there should be nothing proprietary about questions a s simple as “has this been tested at real world pressures?â€, “how many have been installed?â€, or is there really a PO in place from the Department of Defense?…that we are very skeptical of the statements made that the DOD was expecting deliveries in two months because other Langson dealers (and there are many) are quoting 6 months for the delivery of a single unit?…that both sets of statements CAN NOT BE TRUE?
IS IT TRUE that if the statement regarding the DOD expecting deliveries within 2 months (now 6 weeks) is not true and the fact that the City Council really did vote under threats and duress would create a situation where a loan decision was made under duress with incorrect information from the loan applicant?…that this is sufficient grounds for a discussion on rescinding the offer to make the loan?…that the people of Evansville need the financial and legal minds available to the Evansville City Council to VET SO WE DON’T BET on this one?…that Councilman Friend, Councilman McGinn, Councilwoman Riley, City Attorney Hamilton, and City Controller Russ Lloyd Jr. all have the credentials to VET and bring this situation up for discussion?…that from a technical perspective the real study that was supposed to be finished by March 31 has not been released and until it is there will be people who think it does not exist?…that there was a PhD from Vectren who accompanied Ms. Dewey to Reno who has remained mute on the subject of whether or not what he saw constituted a real world conditions test that is ready to be installed into pressurized transmission lines up to 1,750 psi?…that a statement from that PhD stating explicitly that he saw a unit in the field at working pressure extracting electricity from a pressure let down station would sooth many fears?…that in the absence of such a statement from someone who was there leads to the conclusion that the answer is NO?
IS IT TRUE that the following solicitation for dealer-partners appears on the bottom of a press release issued by Langson Energy announcing that two dealer partners had signed on?…that it is not all that rare to solicit for new dealers, franchises, or business opportunities when announcing that others have come on board?

The Dominion of Providence Over the Passions of Men
John Witherspoon
May 17, 1775
In the first place, I would take the opportunity on this occasion, and from this subject, to press every hearer to a sincere concern for his own soul’s salvation. There are times when the mind may be expected to be more awake to divine truth, and the conscience more open to the arrows of conviction than at others. A season of public judgment is of this kind. Can you have a clearer view of the sinfulness of your nature, than when the rod of the oppressor is lifted up, and when you see men putting on the habit of the warrior, and collecting on every hand the weapons of hostility and instruments of death? I do not blame your ardour in preparing for the resolute defense of your temporal rights; but consider, I beseech you, the truly infinite importance of the salvation of your souls. Is it of much moment whether you and your children shall be rich or poor, at liberty or in bonds? Is it of much moment whether this beautiful country shall increase in fruitfulness from year to year, being cultivated by active industry, and possessed by independent freemen, or the scanty produce of the neglected fields shall be eaten up by hungry publicans, while the timid owner trembles at the tax-gatherer’s approach? And is it of less moment, my brethren, whether you shall be the heirs of glory, or the heirs of hell? Is your state on earth for a few fleeting years, of so much moment? And is it of less moment what shall be your state through endless ages? Have you assembled together willingly to hear what shall be said on public affairs, and to join in imploring the blessing of God on the counsels and arms of the United Colonies, and can you be unconcerned what shall become of you for ever, when all the monuments of human greatness shall be laid in ashes, for “the earth itself, and all the works that are therein shall be burnt up.”
Wherefore, my beloved hearers, as the ministry of reconciliation is committed to me, I beseech you in the most earnest manner, to attend to “the things that belong to your peace, before they are hid from your eyes”. How soon, and in what manner a seal shall be set upon the character and state of every person here present, it is impossible to know. But you may rest assured, that there is no time more suitable, and there is none so safe as that which is present, since it is wholy uncertain whether any other shall be yours. Those who shall first fall in battle, have not many more warnings to receive. There are some few daring and hardened sinners, who despise eternity itself, and set their Maker at defiance; but the far greater number, by staving off their convictions to a more convenient season, have been taken unprepared, and thus eternally lost. I would therefore earnestly press the apostle’s exhortation, 2 Cor 6: 1-2… “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
Suffer me to beseech you, or rather to give you warning, not to rest satisfied with a form of godliness, denying the power thereof. There can be no true religion, till there be a discovery of your lost state by nature and practice, and an unfeigned acceptance of Christ Jesus, as he is offered in the gospel. Unhappy are they who either despise his mercy, or are ashamed of his cross. Believe it, “There is no salvation in any other.” “There is no other name under heaven given amongst men by which we must be saved.” Unless you are united to him by a lively faith, not the resentment of a haughty monarch, the sword of divine justice hangs over you, and the fulness of divine vengeance shall speedily overtake you. I do not speak this only to the heaven-daring profligate or grovelling sensualist, but to every insensible, secure sinner; to all those, however decent and orderly in their civil deportment, who live to themselves, and have their part and portion in this life; in fine, to all who are yet in a state of nature, for “except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”. The fear of man may make you hide your profanity; prudence and experience may make you abhor intemperance and riot; as you advance in life one vice may supplant another and hold its place; but nothing less than the sovereign grace of God can produce a saving change of heart and temper, or fit you for his immediate presence.
While we give praise to God, the supreme Disposer of all events, for his interposition in our behalf, let us guard against the dangerous error of trusting in, or boasting of an arm of flesh. I could earnestly wish, that while our arms are crowned with success, we might content ourselves with a modest ascription of it to the power of the Highest. It has given me great uneasiness to read some ostentatious, vaunting expressions in our newspapers, though happily, I think, much restrained of late. Let us not return to them again. If I am not mistaken, not only the Holy Scriptures in general, and the truths of the glorious gospel in particular, but the whole course of providence, seem intended to abase the pride of man, and lay the vain-glorious in the dust.
From what has been said you may learn what encouragement you have to put your trust in God, and hope for his assistance in the present important conflict. He is the Lord of hosts, great in might, and strong in battle. Whoever hath his countenance and approbation, shall have the best at last. I do not mean to speak prophetically, but agreeably to the analogy of faith, and the principles of God’s moral government. I leave this as a matter rather of conjecture than certainty, but observe, that if your conduct is prudent, you need not fear the multitude of opposing hosts.
If your cause is just, you may look with confidence to the Lord, and intreat him to plead it as his own. You are all my witnesses, that this is the first time of my introducing any political subject into the pulpit. At this season, however, it is not only lawful but necessary, and I willingly embrace the opportunity of declaring my opinion without any hesitation, that the cause in which America is now in arms, is the cause of justice, of liberty, and of human nature. So far as we have hitherto proceeded, I am satisfied that the confederacy of the colonies has not been the effect of pride, resentment, or sedition, but of a deep and general conviction that our civil and religious liberties, and consequently in a great measure the temporal and eternal happiness of us and our posterity, depended on the issue. The knowledge of God and his truths have from the beginning of the world been chiefly, if not entirely confined to those parts of the earth where some degree of liberty and political justice were to be seen, and great were the difficulties with which they had to struggle, from the imperfection of human society, and the unjust decisions of unsurped authority. There is not a single instance in history, in which civil liberty was lost, and religious liberty preserved entire. If therefore we yield up our temporal property, we at the same time deliver the conscience into bondage.
Pressanykey–I fail to see how this fits with the Langson Energy issue?????????
Let me help you out a little, and it does not just concern this single issue called Langson Energy, or EarthCare Energy, but rather a whole host of issues that have found their way into the threads of this online publication.
There are several gems in the sermon, but this one certainly fits the occasion:
“The knowledge of God and his truths have from the beginning of the world been chiefly, if not entirely confined to those parts of the earth where some degree of liberty and political justice were to be seen, and great were the difficulties with which they had to struggle, from the imperfection of human society, and the unjust decisions of usurped authority.”
Furthermore, considering that today is Easter Sunday, I took the opportunity to remind us that if our own house were in order, a lot of what causes us pain in the political realm would never raise its head.
Forgive me if I have offended you in any way.

Looks like Earthcare found the Golden Egg this Easter. Someone didn’t hide it very well.
Press, well said.
