Guest is Tony Viola, Part 3 of 3 - Government AccountabilityTony Viola, a Cleveland, Ohio citizen 10 years ago, was an ordinary successful real estate broker, having built his company with his wife. That all changed after being targeted by a government task force. He spent 10 years in jail before being exonerated. Tony continues the conversation about the misconduct of federal prosecutors, defense attorneys, bank officers, witnesses, and even jurors.What's happening in the family house and the church house is also happening in the government house - abuse of power and dysfunction. Show Highlights:· Our own accountability – we are in the jury stands. We just can’t point our fingers but need to examine our own activity. · Fundamental issue – It’s big business. It’s about MONEY.· Qualified immunity - Citizens should have the opportunity to sue for civil damages.· Solitary confinement being used as a weapon· Toxic - Prison is a toxic environment – The corrosive nature of prison. This is not a good place to work. · Crime is not depreciating even though we have so much incarceration.· Waste of resources within the system. · Senator Booker, “It’s a stain on the soul of the country to treat people like this, to incarcerate people like this, to be cruel to people that maybe made a mistake or have an addiction.” · Letting dangerous people out and keeping people who are not a threat to society inside.· Diesel therapy – shipping people all over the place as punishment. What can you do to help –Be accountable ourselvesPray for those in authorityTalk to political representatives and demand change. Ask for government accountabilityReallocate government’s use of resources and authorityFreeze budgetsWork with a prison ministry to donate time and financial assistanceShare ideas and create a national consensusstart conversationsIf a victim of injustice, take some action and don’t tolerate injustice.

Government – Put reforms in place as forms of security to restrict corrupt leadershipb. Our own as citizens – Examine ourselves and become involved in civic affairs. It's our duty.c. Individual inmate themselves – Take responsibility for actions2. Prisons have a toxic environment where you can not just lose your mind, but your soul. Some additional measures need to be introduced to stop....a. Guards committing suicideb. Inmates losing their right to dignity3.Fundamental issue – It’s a businessa. Not about correction b. Forgiveness – a clear path to pardonsc. Consensus – Not a partisan issueThis is a glaring example of the real nature of the human heart. Biblical References1 Timothy 2:1-2 NIV - Pray for those in authority."I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - for kings and all thosein authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness andholiness."Job 34:18 – Leave ultimate accountability to God. He does govern.“God condemns kings and rulers when they are worthless or wicked.”It’s not in our timing, but His.

They are buddies in the same country club.· People are scared to speak out due to bullying tactics· The Courts have become a drama show, not a place of solemn duty.

Do you think our government needs some checks in place? Do you feel hopeless in reporting injustices about our government to the government? Today we are seeing large abuses of power from lawyers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, police, FBI, senators, aldermen, and women. This doesn’t cover all the offices, but you know what I mean. Do you think it’s time to put some laws in place and have it take swift action to hold corrupt officials accountable? Tony Viola, my guest today, is working on doing just that. He knows from experience how government officials can destroy lives. Listen to his story; I did, and regardless of whether I know all the facts, I know some are true from experience, and I bet you do, too.Tony Viola, a Cleveland, Ohio citizen 10 years ago, was an ordinary successful real estate broker, having built his company with his wife. That all changed in a moment when the FBI charged him with embezzling over $46M in funds. He spent over 10 years in prison before winning his second trial from prison and being exonerated after a whistleblower came forward. He is continuing the fight by bringing a public awareness of what’s happening and getting citizens to unite so that corrupt officials are held accountable.Show Highlights: · Tony’s Arrest· Prosecutors who plan to win at all costs· Government corruption· Truth not pursued, but attention instead· They think they are doing the work of GodGuest Contact Information:Tony's WrongfulConviction Story | Free Tony ViolaMrtonyviola@iICloud.comHow Can I Help? | Free Tony ViolaPhone: 330-998-3290How to help?SIGN our Petition on Change.Org: http://chng.it/M6KG5yBT SHARE our website on your social media account TWEET out a link to FreeTony on your Twitter Account SIGN UP for our monthly E Newsletter (sign up in footer) FIND a blogger or reporter willing to write about this story POST a link to FreeTony on articles about criminal justice WRITE the Ohio Attorney General, asking him to investigate Prosecutor Kasaris:Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, 150 Gay Street - 16th Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215 FOLLOW Tony on Twitter @tonyviola TELL us about your experiences with the justice systemFIND a criminal justice or journalism class interestedin a class project about Tony's case FIND celebrities to post a link to FreeTony on their social media accounts.FRIEND Tony on Facebook | TonyViolaAdvertisement– A...

The Imprisonment of GriefWe can go through grief by not holding onto the idea of the strangeness of it. Spurgeon's morning devotion from May 31st points to 2 Samuel 15:13.This morning’s devotion spoke of:· Kidron the filthy brook that flowed through Jerusalem as being symbolic of sorrow.· David being both the Lord’s Anointed and the Lord’s Afflicted. “Why then should we expect to escape? At sorrow’s gates…”· King Jesus himself having to go over the brook Kidron too. Specifically quoting, “In all our afflictions he was afflicted.” Spurgeon says, “The idea of strangeness in our trials must be banished at once and forever, for he who is the Head of all saints, knows by experience the grief which we think so peculiar.” The idea of strangeness is allowing our thought patterns to determine this experience is something abnormal. It leads to unhealthy thoughts and actions.
