Joshua Fit the Battle

Song by Elvis Presley ‧ 1960

Overview

Lyrics

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Around Jericho around Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumblin’ down

God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho, around Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumblin’ down

Good morning sister Mary
Good morning brother John
Well I wanna stop and talk with you
Wanna tell you how I come along

I know you’ve heard about Joshua
He was the son of Nun
He never stopped his work until
Until the work was done

God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumblin’ down

You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your men of Saul
There’s none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho

Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
“Go blow them ram horns”, Joshua cried
“‘Cause the battle is in my hands”

God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down

You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your king of Saul
There’s none like Joshua
At the battle of Jericho

They tell me, great God that Joshua’s spear
Was well nigh twelve feet long
And upon his hip was a double edged sword
And his mouth was a gospel horn

Yet bold and brave he stood
Salvation in his hand
“Go blow them ram horns”, Joshua cried
“‘Cause the devil can’t do you no harm”

God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls come tumblin’ down

Then up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
“Go blow them ram horns”, Joshua cried
“‘Cause the battle is in my hands”

Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua shouted, “Glory”
And the walls come tumblin’ down

God knows that
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
And the walls came tumblin’
Down, down, down, down, down, tumbling down

▸Samsonov was shown a map and studied it intently. He issued an order naming a village about six miles from Neidenburg, beyond which no unit was to withdraw. He had strong hope that at any moment the regiments of Sirelius’ Guards Division would turn up to reinforce Mingin. Samsonov was expecting either General Sirelius himself, or his Corps Commander, General Kondratovich, to arrive at Army Headquarters that morning, but neither of them appeared.

▸Samsonov wondered whether he had been wrong in sending an officer to clarify the news from General Mingin; perhaps he should have gone to have a look himself. But if he were to go to Mingin’s division, some vital report from another sector was bound to come posting in.

▸.[Thus with no reliable information on the course of operations and therefore having no particular task to carry out, Samsonov spent the first half of the day in uncomfortable suspense]. For some of the time he went for a ride with General Knox¹, he conferred with the supply staff; he visited the Medical Director of the hospital; then he saw Postovsky, and followed this by studying the telegrams from North-Western Army Group. It was nearly lunchtime when a Cossack patrol brought a message from Blagoveshchensky² which had been dispatched at 2 a.m. that morning.◂

The foregoing was an excerpt from the Solzhenitsyn story first published in English by The Bodley Head in 1972 translated from the Russian by Michael Glennie, Young People of the Glorious Post Michel Foucault post Fact Republic where life is rightly all about facts YP of the GPM.PFR, and opinions are naturally neither dared to be nor allowed to be aired in the interests of national security OK on pain of shitloads of pain, dispossession of property and stuff.

² The Russian letter “Щ” (shcha) represents a unique sound, often transliterated as “shch” or “šč” in English. While it’s commonly described as a combination of “sh” and “ch”, it’s essentially a single, palatalized sibilant sound in modern Russian. In Ukrainian and Rusyn, it represents a /ʃt͡ʃ/ sound

1. Who is Tia Billinger?

Tia Billinger (born May 1999), known professionally as Bonnie Blue, is an English pornographic film actress. In 2025, she claimed to have had sex with 1,057 men in a single day in an attempt to set a world record.¹

2. Who was Charlotte Towle?

Her efforts were sunk by one phrase at a time when the Cold War first turned hot. On April 17, 1951, not even six years after its initial publication, Federal Security Administrator Oscar R. Ewing ordered that all copies be destroyed. While he had agreed to the pamphlet’s reprinting in 1949, Ewing fell under attack by the American Medical Association which demanded an explanation about why Ewing had approved the “socialized state” phrase. Ewing succumbed to the Association’s pressure, branding the piece as “un-American”, leftist, and supportive of international socialism.²

3. Who was Virginia Satir?

[She] was an American author, clinical social worker and psychotherapist,^[1] recognized for her approach to family therapy. Her pioneering work in the field of family reconstruction therapy^[2] honored her with the title “Mother of Family Therapy”.^[3][4] Her best known books are Conjoint Family Therapy, 1964, Peoplemaking, 1972, and The New Peoplemaking, 1988.³ [in a prime example of Ayn Rand dehumanising – both Commodifying and Commodotising⁴ human persons – ‘philosophic’ Objectivist post Oswald Mosely RACIAL HYGIENE ideological #Fascism] the Satir Growth Model has, as its base, this deeply spiritual core, a belief that all people can access, experience and live from this spiritual Life Energy. The pain people experience often comes from how they experience their behaviors, their emotions, their cognition and their expectations.

My declaration of self-esteem..

❝I am me
In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me
Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine
because I alone chose it – I own everything about me

❝My body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions,
whether they be to others or to myself – I own my fantasies,
my dreams, my hopes, my fears – I own all my triumphs and
successes, all my failures and mistakes

❝Because I own all of
me, I can become intimately acquainted with me – by so doing

❝I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts – I know
there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other
aspects that I do not know – but as long as I am
friendly and loving to myself

❝I can courageously
and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles
and for ways to find out more about me – However I
look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever
I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically
me

❝If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought
and felt turned out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is
unfitting, keep the rest, & invent something new for that
which I discarded – I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do
I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be
productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of
people and things outside of me – I own me, and
therefore I can engineer me – I am me and I AM OKAY

Strange to tell it appears this Sydney writer of “Wifedom Mrs Orwell’s Invisble Life” ^! also enrolled in the Uni of WA’s External Studies Sociology1A course in February 1974 and much preferring child, youth, young adult, middle-years and seniors’ learning over Chicago School, @MIT @Harvard and United States Information Service Programmed Living & Government-approved Consumption-habits for Sexual and Maternal Fulfilment model gave it away after 6 weeks of fraught study and ridiculous if not entirely pointless household arguments..

▸To benefit from the work of someone who is invisible and unpaid and whom it is not necessary to thank because it is their inescapable purpose in life to attend to you, is to be able to imagine that you accomplished what you did alone and unaided – whether you wrested a fortune from a conquered isle, or words from the void. Invisible workers require no pay or gratitude, beyond perhaps an entire, heartfelt sentence in a preface, thanking ‘my wife.’

▸It is a phenomenal advantage to the writerly imaginatiuon to think this way. The first task of the imagination, for a writer, is the creation of the writing self. It’s quite a job, and it helps to have two of you at it: she, believing in you, so you, too, believe in yourself. This nurtured self is then mother to the work. And the work, in turn, becomes evidence of a self: I made, therefore I am. And in that sentence she disappears.

▸Writers are notoriously unstable elements, lacking a sound core, and are prone, without support, to falling into our own empty centres. If you have someone in your orbit, you feel like the nucleus. If there’s an audience you must be the star. …

▸..The individual man can be the loveliestᵛⱽ; the system will still benefit him without his having to lift a finger or a whip, or change the sheets. This is a story I tell against myself. And against the system that made this self, as well as my husband’s, and put her into his service.

▸Wifedom is a wicked magic trick that we have learned to play on ourselves. I want to expose how it is done and so take its wicked, tricking power away.◂
