Episode 1704: SRA UPDATE PART 37 JUSTICE & JUDGEMENT .... ITS RIGHT ON

 RIGHT AT THE GATES OF HELLHADES JUSTICE JUDGEMENT & THE END OF PERPS 2 Kings 17:11 There they burned incense on all the high places, as the nations did whom the LORD had carried away before them. And they did wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger, Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily after the error of Balaam for a reward, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. 12 These are the ones who are stains on your love feasts as they feast with you irreverently and care only for themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted; 13 raging waves of the sea, which are foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom the gloom of darkness has been kept forever. 14 Enoch, the seventh generation from Adam, also prophesied of these men, saying, “Look! The Lord is coming with ten thousand of His holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all who are godless of all their wicked deeds that they have committed, and of all the terrible words that godless sinners have spoken against Him.” 16 These men are grumblers, complainers, who walk after their own lusts. Their mouths speak arrogant words, and they flatter others to gain profit. And I heard another from the altar saying: “Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.” The Walls Come Down Mike THE BREAKING NEWS WASN’T ABOUT THE CRIMES COMMITTED BY Sandusky. It was all about Penn State, and above all, it was about the iconic Joe Paterno. I was reading the papers and watching the news and trying to keep up with everything just like the rest of the world was. I still have boxes filled with piles of news clips in my office. In addition to the arrest of Sandusky based upon the grand jury’s recommendation that they found evidence that he molested eight boys whom he met through the Second Mile, there were charges against Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, Penn State’s interim senior vice president for finance and business. Schultz was also the one who oversaw the Penn State police. The grand jury found that Curley and Schultz had lied during their testimony with regard to information they had received about a report of sexual abuse involving Sandusky. The two were charged with perjury, 81 From THE LIVE RAGGED EDGE RADIO BROADCAST/SHATTER LIVE TV WEBINAR RUSS DIZDAR © which is a felony, and failing to report abuse. The attorney general’s office went public now with hotlines set up at their offices and with the state police, asking anyone with information about other possible victims, and asking any other victims themselves, to come forward. It was Mike McQueary’s testimony at the grand jury that was possibly the most damning when it came to what was now being viewed as a massive cover-up at Penn State. McQueary, although not initially named in the press and merely referred to as a former graduate assistant, testified that he witnessed Sandusky assaulting a naked boy around ten years old in the shower in 2001. The grand jury called McQueary an “extremely credible witness.” Reports said that the witness testified that he had first spoken with his own father and then notified Paterno the next day. Paterno then reported the incident to Curley. In a meeting with Curley and Schultz about a week later, the witness was assured that they would investigate the incident. Paterno was not at the meeting. During the grand jury testimony, Curley called the activity in the shower between the child and Sandusky “horsing around” and also denied that McQueary said it was of a sexual nature. Schultz testified at the grand jury that the allegations proved not to be serious and there was no indication that a crime occurred. He also testified that he was aware that Sandusky had been investigated for similar allegations in 1998. University president Graham Spanier said he knew nothing of a 1998 investigation. It wasn’t a week after Sandusky’s arrest that both Spanier and Paterno were fired. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier was charged in the case (unlike Curley and Schultz), there were far too many questions about the fact that Spanier and Paterno had knowledge of Sandusky’s alleged sexual abuse and failed to act in a way that could have stopped him. Spanier was saying that Curley and Schultz would be proven innocent and I was wondering how he could possibly support these two guys who were covering it all up. The campus seemed to go into a state of shock. Thousands of students lined the streets, blowing vuvuzelas and air horns, and pumping their fists in the air chanting, “We want Joe!” Cops in riot gear were sending out clouds of pepper spray and trying to hold them back as the students toppled a news van, knocked down street signs and trash cans, and set off firecrackers. It looked like a war zone. Fisher, Aaron; M.A. Mike Gillum; Dawn Daniels. Silent No More (pp. 166-168). Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. Psalm 9 For the Music Director. To the melody of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. 1 I will give thanks to You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will declare all Your marvelous works. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. 3 When my enemies are turned back, they will stumble and perish at Your presence. 4 For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging what is right. 5 You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have wiped out their name forever and ever. 6 O you enemy, destructions have come to you for a perpetual end. 82 From THE LIVE RAGGED EDGE RADIO BROADCAST/SHATTER LIVE TV WEBINAR RUSS DIZDAR © You have destroyed cities; their memory perished with them. 7 But the Lord remains forever; He has established His throne for judgment. 8 He will judge the world in righteousness; He will give judgment to the peoples in uprightness. 9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 Those who know Your name will put their trust in You, for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. 11 Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion; declare His deeds among the people. 12 He who avenges deaths remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble. 13 Be gracious to me, O Lord; consider my trouble from those who hate me, O You who lifts me up from the gates of death, 14 that I may recount all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, that I may rejoice in Your salvation. 15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; their own foot is caught in the net which they hid. 16 The Lord is known by the judgment that He executes; the wicked one is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah 17 The wicked will be turned to Sheol, and all the nations that forget God. 18 For the needy will not always be forgotten, nor will the hope of the poor perish forever. 19 Arise, O Lord, may mortals not prevail; let the nations be judged in Your sight. 20 Put them in fear, O Lord, that the nations themselves may know they are mortals. Selah
