WISHIN' AND HOPIN' 2008: A GLOBAL FORECAST

WISHIN' AND HOPIN' 2008: A GLOBAL FORECAST
PART 1 of 2

Lyrics for What a Wonderful World prompt warm and cozy thoughts of “bright, blessed days” and “dark, sacred nights.” All know by experience that metaphorical light and darkness typify the life cycle. In a very real way, both fan the spark of hope, the reason for which inevitably springs from sobering, oftentimes dismal realities—labor pains as it were. With a view to 2008, it’s as if the entire earth is reeling in birth pangs at multiple levels—be it geo-political, economic, or cultural. In the end, as typically is the case in childbirth, something good emerges. But how can this be?

2008: Geo-Political Transformations

The global trend: Having served during the Reagan administration, Herb Meyer was awarded the intelligence community's highest honor for being the first senior U.S. Government official to forecast the Soviet Union's collapse. In assessing the New Year, Meyer addresses what he calls “four major transformations”—namely, the War on Terror, emergence of China, shifting demographics, and restructuring of American business. Each presents good news and bad (i.e., “light” and “darkness”). First, consider the War on Terror.

The secular reality: No doubt about it. The 21st century will be characterized by wars and rumors thereof. Add proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and the outlook is downright bleak. Lack of tangible evidence for Iraqi WMDs has inflamed bystanders to decry “an unjust war.” No matter how well intentioned, naysayers turn a deaf ear to wounded survivors of tyranny. Fact is Ali Hassan al-Majid boasted on Iraqi TV that he gave orders for the Iraqi army to use WMDs against one hundred thousand Kurds. In total, Iraqi weapons of mass destruction killed almost two hundred thousand Iraqi Kurds and more than one million Iranians.

In no uncertain terms, legendary former Israeli leader Ariel Sharon once predicted that “Israel won’t be the first country to introduce nuclear weaponry into the Middle East.” Alarmingly, Muslim Pakistan already possesses approximately fifty nuclear weapons, as well as materials for making at least that many more. Pakistan has joined North Korea and Russia to support Iran’s advances in nuclear technology.

Believe it: Iran is doggedly pursuing nuclear weaponry, as well as advanced missile technology. When (not if) Iran succeeds, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad aims to give rise to “a world without Zionism or America.” His mission is to destroy Israel and fatally cripple Europe and the “Great Satan,” the United States. So confident is he that, days after the Iraq Study Group Report was released, Ahmadinejad evoked “divine promise” that the U.S., Britain and Israel are destined to “disappear from the world like the pharaohs.”

The reason for hope: As early as 1980, the founder of Israel’s intelligence agency warned that postmodern America indulged tolerance for terrorism. While she had the power to fight it, she lacked the will. The 2001 Attack on America rallied the troops in belief that self-perpetuating terrorism can be truncated—but only if we don’t reward it, and we hold terrorists accountable, as well as their supporters.

Referencing the Middle East, New York Times best-selling author and award-winning journalist Mike Evans calls for moral clarity. It is time, he adds, for America to remember its heritage in God. Only then can we find our way, and only then will our nation prevail.

Already, in Kurdistan, one-fourth of Iraq lives in stability. No U.S. soldier has ever been killed there; and for close to two years, no terrorist attacks have disturbed the peace. This, my friend, is progress.

In seeking moral clarity, we must be mindful that it’s not disgruntled Iraqis fighting in the streets of Bagdad, but rather insurgent-terrorists sponsored by oil-rich countries like Iran. Iraqi Kurds are lone supporters of Western democracy, and thirty million living Kurds join their dead in crying for justice.

Evans proposes that it’s time to reward our millions of allies in Kurdistan. Instead of continuing to appease our enemies in Baghdad, where Iraqi ministries are helping terrorists, why not release all of the money promised them and enlist the Kurds? Given coalition backup and controlled skies, Iraqi Kurds could fight a victorious war with fewer U.S. casualties.

2008: “It’s the Economy, Stupid!”

The global trend: China is moving hundreds of millions from farms and villages into highly populated cities. To provide work for relocated people, China is as obsessed with manufacturing as America is to low prices. Given this symbiosis, many in the media refer to the 21st century as “the Asian Century”—but at a dear cost to Chinese “serfs” who earn less than a quarter an hour all the while they are exposed to toxins and hazardous chemicals. China's quest for the oil needed to fuel its transforming economy is a major factor in world politics; hopefully, the Chinese will opt to share responsibility in keeping open the world's oil lanes.

The secular reality: When a company can make a better product by relying on others to perform functions for it, the “fracturing of business” occurs—this, by means of a pyramid of companies that engage, serve and support one another. Remaining stateside is rewarded with strong economic disadvantage, and banks are reluctant to lend money to companies that refuse to move. For these reasons, companies outsource many of their core services and production processes. In the last several years, this trend has cost our producers hundreds of billions of dollars and millions of manufacturing jobs.

Understandably, the restructuring of American business contributes to ongoing decline, and what appears to be deliberate destruction, of the American middle class. Our government’s widely reported “core inflation” rate conveniently and deceptively omits energy and food prices. If truth were told, middle-class Americans are being trounced by taxes—notably, a so-called “tax on the middle class” otherwise known as inflation.

In “The Decline of the Middle Class,” Donald McAlvany reports that over the past several years, as gold and silver have risen some 275% and 225%, respectively, the U.S. dollar has dropped by 375% (The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, December 2007). For the first time in three decades, the Canadian dollar shares equal footing with ours, now at significant risk for escalating inflation and decrease in growth.

Having dropped to 1992 values, the dollar remains in the world's cross hairs while the Euro is fully integrated as the official currency of fifteen countries. According to the Associated Press, former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan apparently believes that the Euro could replace the U.S. dollar as the primary world reserve currency. Clearly, the European Central Bank is a serious factor in the global economy.

The reason for hope: The sub-prime mortgage fiasco has evolved into serious business; with tighter lending standards enforced, 2008 promises to be very challenging economically. Even so, reports Herb Meyer, the U.S. is progressively building the world's first 21st century model economy; and, he adds, the U.K. and Australia are the only other countries following suit. Though admittedly unstable, this emerging business model promises to be fast, flexible and highly productive.

In all probability, former methods employed to count jobs have contributed to erroneous readings. Increasingly, former employees are launching their own businesses as independent contractors. Herb Meyer contends that the U.S. is still the best place to birth an idea, set up a business and dive into the marketplace. In his view, the economy is perking along better than the numbers indicate.

THE CHURCH IN AMERICA: IMPOTENT & IRRELEVENT

THE CHURCH IN AMERICA: IMPOTENT & IRRELEVENT

By Tom Ambrose

February 27, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

While America continues its quest to seek salvation from politicians like Clinton, Obama and McCain, our nation is continuing its slide into the hellish abyss of government tyranny. At the same time, interestingly enough, the Christian church in America is becoming impotent and irrelevant.

Think I exaggerate?

According to a recent AP report published by ABC News citing multiple studies, "nearly half of American adults [are] leaving the faith tradition of their upbringing to either switch allegiances or abandon religious affiliation altogether," "mainline Protestant churches are in decline, non-denominational churches are gaining and the ranks of the unaffiliated are growing," "[o]ne in four adults ages 18 to 29 claim no affiliation with a religious institution," and "[t]he religious demographic benefiting the most from this religious churn is those who claim no religious affiliation. People moving into that category outnumber those moving out of it by a three-to-one margin."

The report also notes that "The majority of the unaffiliated - 12 percent of the overall population - describe their religion as 'nothing in particular,' and about half of those say faith is at least somewhat important to them. Atheists or agnostics account for 4 percent of the total population."

For those of you who are tempted to blow off this report as the fiction of a globalist media conspiracy, consider this: In addition to America's descent into government tyranny, homosexual marriage is ascending to prominence, Christian couples are divorcing at a rate competitive with non-Christian couples, butchering babies in abortion clinics is still the law of our land, and prominent American church leaders continue to embrace sexual sin as an acceptable lifestyle choice.

With such an increase of evil, do you honestly believe the church in America is alive and well, never mind healthy and vibrant?

If the church is strong and well in America, then no doubt you will also have very interesting explanations for the progressive sleaze of the entertainment industry, the disgusting increase of child molestation in the church and elsewhere, the growing promotion and prominence of homosexuality in public schools and church pulpits, and the increasingly brazen attempts of government officials to censor and persecute both church pastors and homeschooling families.

If the church is strong and well in America, then why is the church not systematically using its vast resources to help those in need rather than supporting by their silence prominent pastors who are calling for "faith-based" government solutions? If the church is strong and well in America, then why have cesspools of filth and violence like Los Angeles and San Francisco continued to fester? If the church is strong and well in America, then why are morally corrupt Supreme Court decisions like the ones involving the Ten Commandments and other religious monuments, prayer in schools, etc. allowed to stand with little more than a peep from church leaders?

God didn't cause these things to happen, though He is obviously allowing them. I submit to you that the church in America, overall, is weak and weary - not strong, not well, not healthy. It has a diminishing voice because it has lost its integrity - its message has been watered down, and many of its leaders not only don't lead, but are themselves morally compromised. And, as the son of a traveling preacher, I personally have witnessed numerous churches across this country that don't even bother to welcome strangers, or when they do, it is often with a plastic smile: "Welcome ... glad you could visit us today ... the offering plate is over there by the door ... next!"

You know, my dad used to tell me that "when a fish stinks, it stinks from the head down." I'm beginning to understand the wisdom of that statement. Though our political leaders are responsible for the rise of lawlessness in our nation, ultimately the moral decay behind that lawlessness can be traced back to America's pulpits. One of our Founders, John Adams, surely understood this when he noted that "[o]ur Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." Surely, Thomas Jefferson would agree:

And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure if we have removed their only firm basis: a conviction in the minds of men that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.
Folks, the church in America needs to reclaim its God-given role of being light and salt to a dark and decaying world if the ugly boot of unconstitutional government is ever going to be removed from our throats. If we are to solve what is popularly referred to as "the vision thing" in our nation, it must start with the people and pastors of America's churches. It must start with humbly asking God for forgiveness for our moral lassitude and asking for His help. And it must continue with each of us daily seeking Him in Scripture and prayer.

We are the church - you, and I and every believer, as Paul notes many times throughout Scripture! The church is not a white box with chairs or pews that people seat themselves in once a week. When Paul laments persecuting the church in I Corinthians 15, for example, he is not talking about assaulting a building.

We must stop giving lip service to God and walk the walk. In particular, secret sins hurt all of us, be it sexual sin or anything else that places barriers between us and the sovereign, holy God. We need to repent of our sin, not glory in it as many of our nation's leaders now do. And we need to reach out to those who are lost, hungry and hurting, not waste our time courting sleazy politicians.

Only then will we ever have a chance to recover what is quickly being lost in America - our freedom and God's hand of blessing and protection on our nation.

GLOBAL BANKS ADOPTING ISLAM

GLOBAL BANKS ADOPTING ISLAM

Patrick Wood
December 14, 2007
NewsWithViews.com

The Bible warns that “… the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil” (1 Ti. 6:10) So, just when you think you have just about seen it all, something even more shocking turns up. Like this…

Either global bankers are seducing Islamic dictators, or vice versa. Even if they are seducing each other at the same time, the result will be the same: Islamic/Shari’a banking is coming to the United States and other western nations, thanks to global banks such as Citigroup, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

With Great Britain now pledging to become the Islamic banking center of the world, the stampede by all global banks to enter the world of Islamic banking is well underway.

Western banking met Islam many decades ago, but only began to sleep with her a few years ago. Since then, it is has become a wanton and open affair.

The implications for the west, and especially for the United States, are staggering. Because all Islamic banking products must be created and offered according to strict Shari’a law, global banks are doing for Islam what it could never do on its own: give legitimacy to Shari’a and infiltrate it into the fabric of western society.

What is Islamic banking?

Simply put, “Islamic banking and finance” creates, sells and services products that are in strict accordance with Shari’a. In the Islamic culture, it is referred to as “Shari’a finance” and covers the practices of banking, investment, bonds, loans, brokerage, etc.

To insure Shari’a compliance, banks must hire Shari’a scholars to review and approve each product and practice as “halal”, the Muslim equivalent of kosher in Judaism. Because there is a shortage of such scholars, there is competition between banks to find the best expert to sit on their boards of directors. This provides the highest legitimacy to each ruling because it is made at the director rather management level.

It should be noted that most of these scholars are from the school of radical Wahhabi/Salafi Shari’a in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, holding views diametrically opposed to the basic values of Western civilization.

Shari’a finance has many differences from orthodox banking: Notably, it cannot charge interest (usury) and it calls for alms giving (zakat). It also calls for avoidance of excessive risk and may not be associated in any way with gambling, drinking alcohol, eating pork, etc.

Zakat demands a tithe of 2.5 percent of revenue be donated to Islamic charity. If western banks follow this rule, their contributions will be staggering. It is certain that a portion of this money will end up in the hands of radical Muslims who are sworn to destroy the U.S. and replace its government with Shari’a law.

Shari’a finance is a recent phenomenon. There were very few Islamic banks prior to 1980. However, with the Khomeini revolution in Iran in 1979, Shari’a was summarily imposed throughout Iran and Shari’a finance took off.

The dark side of Shari’a

Shari’a is the legal and judicial system of Islam that is brutally imposed on many Islamic countries in the middle east. It is the specific embodiment of the totalitarian ideology practiced by the Taliban, Iranian Mullahs and Saudi Wahhabis.

Shari’a is perpetuated by claiming to have its roots in the Koran, but in fact it is mostly the product of rulings and dictates made by Islamic scholars and caliphs over several centuries.

For non-Muslims, Shari’a is best known for its medieval, harsh brutality. Many rulings handed down by Shari’a courts have shocked the western world, for instance:

The December, 2007 “teddy bear” case in Sudan, where a British teacher was sentenced to 40 lashes and a year in jail for allowing her students to name their teddy bear “Mohammad.” Islamic mobs demonstrated in the streets and called for her execution.
The November, 2007 case where a 19 year old gang-rape victim in Saudi Arabia received a sentence of 200 lashes for riding in the car with her rapists.
In 2006, a 34 year-old mother was forcibly raped and ultimately tried and convicted of adultery, and was ordered to be stoned to death.
Shari’a demands total and unquestioned submission. Its subjects are told that Shari’a is given by Allah and that whatever befalls them (good or bad) is Allah’s will. To question a judgment under Shari’a (right or wrong) is to question Shari’a itself and will only bring harsher punishment. If a person receives harsh punishment for something they didn’t do, the rationale is that Allah could and would have prevented it if that had been his will. This fatalistic and deterministic approach allows Shari’a rulers to get away with virtually any thing that enters their head.

To the average western mind, Shari’a is no more than a medieval, barbaric code that somehow survived to the 21st century. It flies in the face of western law, philosophy, liberty and freedom. Furthermore, it is the vehicle used to call for the complete destruction of the west and in particular the United States of America, which then will be replaced by Shari’a dictatorships.

How the banking rocket took off

At the behest of global trade moguls, numerous Free Trade Zones (FTZ’s) were created throughout the Islamic world that were full of windfall conditions.

For instance, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), is a 110 acre free trade zone that was founded in 2004 in Dubai, UAE. According to the DIFC website, participants will enjoy "zero tax rate on income and profits, 100 per cent foreign ownership, no restrictions on foreign exchange or capital/profit repatriation, operational support and business continuity facilities.”

Not surprisingly, Morgan Stanley’s application was one of the first approved by the Dubai Financial Services Authority to operate within the DIFC.

The director-general of the DIFC Authority, Dr. Omar Bin Sulaiman, welcomed Morgan Stanley by stating,

“This is a testimony to our status as an international financial centre of repute. Morgan Stanley is a highly reputed organisation and to have them here at the DIFC is a vindication of our strategy to create a world-class financial hub for the region. The opportunity available within the region, along with the state-of-the-art infrastructure and the international regulatory framework of the DIFC, provides the ideal platform for institutions such as Morgan Stanley to grow their business." [Emphasis added]
DIFC and similar Free Trade Zones are a banker’s nirvana into which global bankers have rushed headlong to establish regional financial centers.

And the payoff? A chance to enter and then dominate the Islamic banking industry. Such banking has over $1.5 trillion on the table today, and is growing at a steady and explosive rate of over 15% per year.

Good old western know-how

Understanding that Islamic banking is a very recent phenomenon is underscored by the fact that its largest and most prestigious international conference, World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) has met for a mere 14 years. The most recent meeting just concluded in Bahrain and attracted over 1,000 banking delegates from 35 countries.

Two years ago, the 12th annual WIBC (2005) conference kicked off with the “Governor’s Table” session titled “Regulation & Business: Creating a Framework for Islamic Banking & Finance to Thrive.” Panel member and speaker number two was Dr. David Mullins, CEO of Vega Asset Management in New York.

Who is Mullins? He is in the white-hot core of international banking. Mullins was Vice Chairman and Governor of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under Greenspan during George H.W. Bush’s presidency. As governor, he represented the Fed at meetings of the G-10 Governors, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the Bank for International Settlements. Prior to that, he was the Assistant Secretary for Domestic Finance at the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

The next topic at the Governor’s Table was “Industry in Transition: Trends & Innovations for Islamic Financial Institutions in an Increasingly Competitive Global Market,” where several speakers included Dr. Samuel L. Hayes III, Jacob Schiff Professor of Investment Banking Emeritus at Harvard Business School. According to Hayes,

“The growing acceptance among Muslims of Halal savings and investment products over the past decade has been impressive. Consequently, a number of conventional Western financial institutions have eagerly moved into this market as the array of investment vehicles has broadened.”
The closed-door CEO Strategy Session was centered around the McKinsey Competitiveness Report, developed in conjunction with the WIBC by the very elite McKinsey & Company based in New York.

In fact, McKinsey & Company was listed as a “Strategic Partner” of the WIBC, alongside of global accounting firm Ernst & Young and the consummate global investment banker, Goldman Sachs. (Remember that in 2005, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson was CEO and Chairman of Goldman Sachs.)

Another key speaker was Dr. Robert Kaplan, Baker Foundation Professor at the Harvard Business School and acclaimed author of many management books like Balanced Scorecard and Strategy Maps. In a pre-conference press release, Kaplan stated

“I look forward to presenting to Islamic banking leaders the latest ideas on strategy execution that delivers performance breakthroughs. I will present how successful organizations have built strategy maps around a common value proposition, communicated to and motivated the workforce, and installed a new Office of Strategy Management to sustain strategy execution.”
More recently, on December 6, 2007, the general manager of the Bank for International Settlements, Malcolm Knight, addressed the Islamic Financial Services Board Forum in Frankfurt, Germany:

“Clearly, there is expanding demand for these products, and a closely associated desire on the part of banks, including non-Islamic banks, to provide Islamic financial services… The broadening appeal of Islamic finance is also evident in the move by large international banks and other private sector financial institutions to provide Islamic financial services.”
Mullins, Hayes, Kaplan, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, Ernst & Young, Bank for International Settlements? Do you see the pattern?

The west is giving away the know-how, with gusto, to enable Shari’a banking and guarantee its success throughout the world. And to what ends?

For one, Britain’s PM Gordon Brown has pointedly stated that he intends to make London the Islamic finance capital of the world. Further, he pledged that in 2008 the British government will issue its own “sukuk”, or Shari’a compliant bonds. Yes, government debt issued as Shari’a compliant.

At the June 13, 2006 Islamic Finance Trade Conference in London, Brown revealed,

"Today British banks are pioneering Islamic banking - London now has more banks supplying services under Islamic principles than any other Western financial centre."
Brown’s statements can only be taken as a challenge by the New York banking establishment to beat him to the finish line. It doesn’t matter who wins this race because the result will be the same: Shari’a banking is quickly encircling the globe and forcing a de facto acceptance of Shari’a law.

Conclusion

International bankers have long ago proven themselves to be completely amoral when it comes to money. They bankrolled the Bolshevik Revolution in 1918 just as blithely as they bankrolled Hitler in the 1930’s. Fortunately for us, neither succeeded in conquering the world.

With Islam, odds of its succeeding are radically different. To start with, there are already 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, and it is the fastest growing religion in history. Secondly, the spread of Islam is richly financed by the oil that is extracted from mid-eastern countries. Thirdly, Islam has already infiltrated most of the west, especially in Europe.

And now, Islam has behind it the combined support and encouragement of the entire global banking community.

The unholy alliance between Islam and global banking may be the final leg on the age-old quest for global domination. Don’t be surprised at the silence of the global elite the next time you hear Islamist mobs chant “Death to America” – their goals are now intertwined.

PSYCHOLOGICAL HANGOVER; IS AMERICA FINISHED?

PSYCHOLOGICAL HANGOVER; IS AMERICA FINISHED?

By Betty Freauf

February 3, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

Our heads have been spinning with these early state presidential elections. “The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year,” says another NWV contributor, Randy Murray, is called Electile Dysfunction.

They talk about change. What change? We changed from a Constitutional Republic with individual responsibilities to a collective Keynesian socialist society (democracy) with power being given to Washington, D.C. under Republican President Lincoln and most notably other presidents thereafter, i.e. Wilson, FDR, Nixon, Johnson and most recently, our own President George W. Bush since the 9/11 incident. Only Ron Paul wants change back to our Constitutional Republic.

Believing their representatives were watching out for their freedoms and taking their Oaths of Office seriously, the electorate did not realize vague, unconstitutional laws were incrementally being enacted while they trusted and slept.

After 9/11, President G.W. Bush put the frosting on the cake with his Homeland Security. Naomi Wolf, author of The End of America writes about such intrusions into our lives by the Patriot Act, Defense Authorization Act and the elimination of Habeas Corpus. When the Terrorism Information and Prevention System (TIPS) met with opposition, a version of this program, she says, was simply shifted to the Pentagon’s “black budget.” She fails to admit how the Democrats are equally responsible. Didn’t we get the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) under President Bill Clinton, with the blessing of a Republican Congress controlled by supposedly conservative Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich with talk show host, Rush Limbaugh becoming a cheerleader -- or was it “water boy?” Former Presidential Reform Party candidate Ross Perot warned NAFTA was the giant sucking sound of jobs going south to Mexico. I can hear Ross say in his southern drawl today, “It’s time to get out the shovel and clean the barn!”

Have you heard the latest? On December 20, 2007, the head of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff (whose last name in Russian means son of Satan), has unveiled his $15 billion dollar cyber security program, which will watch every person from space? In addition to that, the FBI is embarking on the creation of a single database that is so large it will keep track of every person in the U.S. and elsewhere in great detail.[1]

Rather than listen to all the polls and speculations of the media which help to control the presidential outcome, we could probably ask the chauffeurs of the limousines who escort these globalists from their private jets in San Francisco, Oakland or Santa Rosa, California to the Bohemian Grove on the Russian River north of Santa Rosa for their annual, last two-week in July rendezvous in the woods worshipping the cultic owl, where they decide who will be the next president. One driver knew Ronald Reagan was going to be our next president before the election because he overheard the discussion in his limousine. Did the same thing happen in July 2007?

In her book, Naomi Wolf calls it a psychological hangover. She writes, “The men who risked hanging to found our nation and the women who risked their own lives to support this experiment in freedom, and who did what they could to advance it, were terrified of exactly what we call a dictatorship. They called it ‘tyranny’ or ‘despotism.’ It was the specter at their backs – and they all knew it – as Americans debated the Constitution and argued about the shape of the Bill of Rights” and that “The Constitution and Bill of Rights were set forth not as a flag flying merrily but as a bulwark: A set of barriers against what the Founders and their fellow country men and women saw as people’s natural tendency to oppress others if their power is unchecked…” Of course, it was obvious to the readers she was referring to President George Bush and compared him to Mussolini, Stalin, and Hitler – the mantra of many Democrat radio talk show hosts who help sell her book.

I became troubled when I read how Naomi equated women with the Founders. While women have played a significant role in our country, and continue to do so, do any readers recall seeing the names of any women on the Declaration of Independence when these 56 signers pledged to give their lives, fortunes and sacred honor? So I was not surprised to read throughout her book how Republicans are to blame for what she calls “fascist shifting.” Near the end she seemed to be calling dissenters, journalists, and elected officials to “repent.” She compared them to the “hero” (not Savior) of the Conservative Christian movement, which she described as a powerful political prisoner, seized by a powerful state (Rome), convicted without a trial and tortured by military. She admits “students and academics are always democracy’s foot soldiers” and her “repentance” wasn’t for their sins but fear of being blackmailed, exposed for their hypocrisy and possibly ending up in jail themselves.

Gary Allen, a graduate of Stanford University, author of Communist Revolution in the Streets and one of the nation’s top authorities on civil turmoil and the New Left wrote in 1971 about Professor John Kenneth Galbraith and how Galbraith wanted the Democrat Party to quit pussyfooting around and proclaim its own adherence to socialism. In his book Who Needs the Democrats? the Cambridge sage declared: “The Democrat Party must henceforth use the word socialism.” He knew that in the Communist Manifesto's Karl Marx made no distinction between socialism and communism. So far, we've only had Vermont Congressman Bernie Sanders claim he’s a socialist. [Read] And one of the 45 declared goals of the Communist Takeover of America was #26: Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

Just how far has this country spiritually fallen? In a July 4, 1987, newspaper article, a story called “History Speaks to U.S.” It quoted Ecclesiastes: “Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth, while evil days come not…” Now we are having caucus meetings in gambling casinos in Nevada and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Department of Tourism took out a three –page ad in the Dec/Jan issue of Out Magazine designed specifically for rich sodomites hoping to draw fifty million visitors to the city by the year 2015, but especially aiming for this Valentine’s Day.[2]

I can remember the time when a certain Tuesday was set-aside in our state. The voting booths in each precinct were open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. with paper ballots and we all assumed our votes were secure and safe, the election was honest and election officials worked through the night to give the results for next morning’s newspaper. People left work and went right to their precincts to vote. (In Oregon, we currently have “vote by mail.”) The retired ladies recognized us and voting was easy. While waiting in line, it was a time to visit with others from our precincts, which we may not have seen since the last election cycle. But today, it’s psychological warfare with electronic voting in many states with no paper trail and all the candidates claiming Christianity. Psychology is ecumenism’s final glue, providing a common anti-Christian religion in America’s apostate churches and the entire world. No more absolutes are causing us to become disoriented. Everything is moving so rapidly.

The voters who have been watching the records of these candidates over the years know exactly for whom they will be voting. They sacrificially contribute to campaigns and we won’t see them in any after-glow undecided focus groups. On the other side of the coin, we have the jabberwocky of television and radio commentators and newspaper editors and/or journalists giving their two cents worth. They demonize candidates like Ron Paul and try to persuade people how to vote, but maybe the party is over and most don’t even realize it.

Naomi recalls during the 1933 purges in Germany, Hitler’s propagandist, Goebbels, on April 7, 1933, in one day purged the civil service – specially targeting state attorneys and judges – the baseline measure being “loyalty” and then reminds us of how President George W. Bush fired nine U.S. attorneys in March 2007, perhaps with the knowledge of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. [Read] She says Internal Justice Department e-mails indicated they had been targeted as being insufficiently loyal to White House policies. (Didn’t President Clinton do the same thing?) Could it be that U.S. attorneys have the power to decide which voting registration groups should be investigated and potentially prosecuted? She says, “We assume we can simply throw the bums out” in 2008. That’s what I’m hearing on the “progressive” radio talk shows but I often wonder if we’ll even have a 2008 election? And if so, will it be a fair election? From the way presidential hopefuls GOP Ron Paul and Democrat Dennis Kucinch have been treated, it makes me wonder. What if we have another crisis? What if President G.W. Bush declares martial law?

While completely ignoring all the other improprieties of Bill and Hillary when they were co-presidents, like who killed Vince Foster and the 1995 Philippine Police warnings about some Muslims using airplanes as missiles to fly into U.S. buildings [3], she asks is it reasonable to assume that leaders who are willing to abuse signing statements (Executive Orders); withhold information from Congress; make secret decisions; lie to the American people; use fake evidence to justify a pre-emptive war; torture prisoners; tap people’s phones; open their mail and e-mail; break into their houses; and now simply ignore Congress altogether – leaders with, currently (July 14, 2007) a 29 percent approval rating – will surely say, come 2008, “The decision rests in the hands of the people. May the votes be fairly counted?” “If for eight years this group has flouted other equally precious rules of the democratic game, aren’t we rash to assume that this same group will see a transparent, fair election as sacrosanct?” she asks and goes on to add, “The Founders asked us to err on the side of vigilance when it came to liberty. History and current events around the world – Nigeria, Turkey, Ukraine, the Philippines – show many examples of leaders in weak or weakening democracies who were able to ‘co-ordinate’ the civil bureaucracy with their cronies; (Remember all the Clinton cronie appointments and pardons?) they then tamper with the vote, and sully the outcome of elections.”

She says, “At that stage, shock follows shock so quickly that the civil society institutions start to reel. At this point, in weaker democracies than ours, the police forces and the army are used to stop dissenters. In any late shift, the final stage is the establishment of government by emergency decree or actual martial law and the leader’s assertion – usually using the law to defend this assertion, that he or she is above the law, or that he or she is the law: The Decider.” I noticed at one Giuliani rally there was a sign called “The Decider” but I’m also reminded of Jeremiah 9:17 and Isaiah 3:12 when cunning women rule and even many Democrats seem fearful of Hillary.

A few days ago (January 2008) a story was told on TV that Aurora, Colorado has rolled out an impenetrable tank-like vehicle with bullet proof windows and tires that cannot be shot out for the use of local Swat Teams to help combat crime in America. Those gangs in America must really have our law enforcement worried -- or are our leaders simply preparing for something worse?

THE PRIDE OF PERVERSION

THE PRIDE OF PERVERSION
By Paul Proctor

It goes without saying that the world around us is becoming an increasingly vulgar place. One need only turn on network television in the morning to see and hear things once reserved for cable, satellite or after hours viewing.

I suppose that's why the studio audience laughed when "born again" Hollywood actress, Jane Fonda, recently used a four letter word to reference a certain part of the female anatomy on NBC's The Today Show while viewers were eating breakfast with their children - something the host strangely felt compelled to apologize for later even though the subject under discussion at the time was a play called The Vagina Monologues.

Apparently, no apology was needed for that.

Further complicating matters are all of the differing definitions now of what is and isn't decent. For instance, throwing an empty coke can out a car window these days might be considered more offensive than hurling an obscenity or an extended middle finger. Consider which of the above will most likely get you a citation.

Have you ever wondered why?

The sad result is children growing up in a world choosing value systems much like they choose computer operating systems. They're taught by our conflicting and confusing standards that there is no right or wrong system. One is merely incompatible with the other; so, just pick the most personally appealing to you and get on with your life because it really doesn't matter in the end.

But, you see, it does matter.

Vulgarity is near-sighted. It sees only its immediate desire - not the long-term or widespread consequences. It is the ultimate expression of pride, selfishness and rebellion and the predecessor and prophet of violence - a force with no conscience or compassion - only cravings set on satisfaction.

When I read or hear of militant homosexuals trying to use the Word of God to justify their own deviancy by saying fire and brimstone rained down on Sodom and Gomorrah because of their "lack of hospitality," I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Ezekiel 16:49-50 is explicitly clear about why they were destroyed and it had nothing to do with hospitality. You see, the inhabitants there weren't just depraved - they were proud of their depravity and couldn't wait to force it on others. And it is that pride in their perversion that earned them the wrath of God.

I would also add that vigilante violence against homosexuals is just as vulgar because is too is rooted in rebellion. Heterosexual pride and perversion is no less evil than "gay pride" and perversion. Neither of them produces the fruit of the Spirit the Apostle Paul wrote about.

America didn't invent vulgarity anymore than Sodom and Gomorrah invented homosexuality; but if and when we as a nation become so proud of our perversions that we collectively pleasure ourselves victimizing others with them, I have no doubt God's mercy will again give way to His wrath.

"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good." - Ezekiel 16:49-50

WAKE UP, OR YOU WILL DIE HOMELESS AND HUNGRY

WAKE UP, OR YOU WILL DIE HOMELESS AND HUNGRY

By Andrew C. Wallace
February 13, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

Most people are just like those in Nazi Germany under Hitler, some see the evil affecting others, but will ignore it until it's too late, but a majority of Americans are as uninformed as a box of rocks because they rely on the controlled media propaganda for information. Our media is really amazing, run by Liberals who do not have a clue that their liberal leaders are communists and their corporate employers are Fascists, with no loyalty to any country. The constitutional right of a free press was to insure Americans the information they must have to remain free, but our media is nothing more than the propaganda arms of owners in the “Chain of Command for Treason” who are in the process of enslaving us and taking our sovereignty. Two of our primary defenses against usurpation are the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and the Right to Freedom of Speech. Both of these rights are under serious attack right now and could be instantly denied by traitors in government using existing unconstitutional policy.

Your Enemy is the “Chain of Command for Treason”-CCT, consisting of Elites and their Foundations, who control the Corporations and Media, who in turn control our Government with the direction of their think tank and shadow government, The Council on Foreign Relations, CFR et al. Elites are mostly the progeny of wealth, a few have earned or stolen their own money, many of the forebears were ruthless and very active supporters of Fascism and Communism as are the leaders of both parties today. These statements are not subject to question, there is just too much documented evidence to support them. Today’s leaders of the CCT and their supporters have been taught from birth that they are superior to average Americans who are only ignorant and common people born to be their slaves. No Question, we will be their slaves if they take away our Sovereignty. The ultimate objective of the CCT leadership is Power, Wealth and a One World Government with them as the unelected despots.

The CCT, unlike average Americans, is well organized and directed by the Council on Foreign Relations, their think tank and shadow government. As of June 30, 2007 the CFR had annual operating income of $39,441,800 and net assets of $336,638,800. As one example, the “Security and Prosperity Plan for North America” SPP, that President Bush signed to give away our Sovereignty and combine America with Canada and Mexico was published by the arrogant CFR. Follow the money.

When I was in the military we would have said that the CCT was awarding Americans the “Royal Order of the Purple Shaft with Barbed Wire Clusters,” younger people would refer to this as getting the “Finger,” which I did not think was adequate to describe the complete and total destruction and enslavement of a proud nation and its people.

The CCT is absolutely ruthless by allowing millions of Americans to be Murdered, Killed, Raped, Robbed, and Molested by millions of illegal invaders so they could make Billions in Blood Money by exploiting illegals and paying slave wages. Politicians at all levels of government as part of the CCT are guilty of Treason for refusing to obey the constitution and laws of the United States to protect Americans. The blood of our people is on the hands of most politicians, and especially President Bush, Bush the elder, Bill Clinton and presidential candidates McCain, Obama and Clinton. The only difference between both political parties is the name, they are both part of the CCT, hold Americans in contempt, and are up to their necks in the blood of innocent Americans for their profit and power. Because of government failure to obey our Constitution, lawlessness is so severe, especially in sanctuary cities, that every citizen who can, should obtain and exercise a Right to Carry Permit. Anyone who does not accept this fact is an uninformed future victim, soon to be added to the growing list.

We are still not totally dominated, so we are being allowed to participate in a Sham Election because the CCT fears “We the People” as we are the most heavily armed population in the world, and have the internet to inform people at no cost. The media as part of the CCT is as effective at propaganda as Hitler ever was. This Election is so important, and flawed in so many ways that you should read the following experts on the subject: Devvy Kidd, Frosty Wooldridge, Alan Stang, and Dave Daubenmire in NewsWithViews, dated 2-7-08. The CCT owned media does not perform the constitutional function of a free press and is losing consumers to the internet. Because of this, the internet as we know it is not likely to survive as reported by Brent Jessop in “Pentagon: The internet needs to be dealt with as if it were an enemy “weapons system” in “Global Research, 2-2-08” Jessop reviews a Department of Defense document released by freedom of information act titled: “Information Operation Roadmap Part 3, 30 Oct 2003”in which they propose to destroy the internet as we know it, DOD” is blunt about the fact that an internet, with the potential for free speech, is in direct opposition to their goals.” If you can’t believe Jessop, read the damn government document yourself. In simple terms we must take back our country using the rule of law before they take away the internet and our guns, or as God is my witness, we will all die homeless hungry and in pain as slaves.

Lynn Stuter said in News With Views on 2-5-08: ”The United States Congress, at the request of the Bush Administration, has passed laws revoking habeas corpus, Posse Comitatus, and the 4th Amendment to the Bill of Rights prohibiting illegal search and seizure.------ the United States Congress passed a law that defines anyone speaking out against the criminal acts of the United States government as a “domestic terrorist.” Congress also passed a law prohibiting anyone considered to have a mental illness from owning a gun, including men coming home from war. Through the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, established by Bush, the push has been to label every American as mentally defective, ----- This labeling of every American as somehow mentally defective is no different than the tactic used in the U.S.S.R. to label dissidents who refused to conform to the social psychology of oppression practiced by the communists to control the masses; the same social psychology now being forced on the American people.” End of quote.

President Bush flip flopped, and now supports Government control of fire arms in case before Supreme court. It should give you little confidence to know that all nine justices have degrees from Ivy League Schools and eight are from Harvard. Too many judges do not follow the constitution in their rulings. As an example, according to our Constitution, Jurors have absolute power in deciding validity of the law in a trial, and guilt or innocence of the accused, but most judges will not allow the jury to be told this important fact because it reduces their power.

The CCT has destroyed the lives of millions of Americans by exporting two out of every three well paid manufacturing jobs which increased corporate profits but forced Americans to live in poverty. Thirty six percent of our jobs used to be in better paid manufacturing, now it is only 12%. Both political parties were responsible for the trade agreements (NAFTA, CAFTA et al) that did this and they are continuing to do it. Our very survival requires that we repudiate all trade agreements and treaties because they benefit only the CCT, take our sovereignty and prosperity et al. Thank Bush, McCain, Clinton & Obama.

The CCT cost millions of Americans their jobs in the service industry. This is because each of the better paid manufacturing jobs that we lost support 4 to 7 service jobs. We lost about 1,500,000 service jobs last year because we lost 269,000 manufacturing jobs that supported them. The more comprehensive way to describe job loss is to refer to insourcing, outsourcing and offshoring. Microsoft saved $12,000 a year for each worker on a visa. We have had a Tsunami of job losses and none of them were a benefit to the American people or to many living in other countries like Mexico, only the CCT and associated corporations benefited. For every foreign born/illegal worker there is an unemployed American. Details at cis.org. Thank Bush, McCain, Clinton & Obama.

If you are an unemployed Black man, you should know that according to a prestigious NBER study 40% of Black male unemployment is due to illegals/foreign born. Worse yet, your politicians know how strongly you object and how you are harmed, but they still support amnesty and benefits for illegals in return for support from corporations and the CCT. It makes my blood boil to know that our politicians support illegals taking our jobs while many Americans live in poverty. Maybe you can tell me the difference between these greedy lying politicians who are paid by CCT to support illegals at our expense, and those who sold their own people into slavery in the first place? Obviously, poor white people suffer too, but I did not have a study to prove the numbers. The U.S. Senate defeated amnesty last year because a few Senators were patriots and the rest were in fear of the people for their very lives. If you continue to vote for those who take the food out of your mouth to give illegals, and you know the truth, then you deserve to starve. Thank Bush, McCain, Clinton & Obama.

Catholic Bishops support illegals in spite of the harm to their members so illegals can replace those who quit the church because of massive child molestation cover-ups. I have been assured that there is nothing in the Bible to support church actions. Leadership of both political parties want illegals for votes and cheap labor for corporations.

The CCT has followed a policy of inflation and deflation since they established a private bank called the Federal Reserve in 1913 which is not owned by government. This private bank creates money with no backing by book keeping entries alone. Since our money has no backing they can increase the supply of money at any time which causes inflation and reduces value of the dollar which in turn increases prices of everything reducing your standard of living. Value of the dollar has lost 50% just since Bush has been in office and overseas retirees have already lost 50% of their purchasing power. Except for hyper inflation, It takes a little longer to feel the effects in the country of origin. Since I left the service a car costs 16 times as much and wives must now work. That is a serious reduction in standard of living. Since 1913 the value of the dollar has declined 97%. But the real disaster is the ongoing and expanding mortgage and credit scandal where Federal Reserve Bank has reduced interest rates and poured hundreds of Billions of so called dollars into the system to bail out banks and financial institutions. This action was inflationary and reduced value of the dollar which increased your cost for gas, food and everything else. It also reduced the value of your pensions and all financial assets except gold. In simple terms these actions by CCT transferred much of their losses to the American people. Our dollar is in free fall. Our government is bankrupt and therefore so will be the rest of the world. I can’t forecast when the bottom is to drop out, no one can, I can only tell you it can happen in a day, any day. Thank Bush, McCain, Clinton & Obama for a good part of this disaster.

Our upcoming Economic Meltdown, like the Great Depression of the thirties will cause massive unemployment, hunger, depravation, crime and the transfer of remaining assets to the wealthy in the CCT by inflation and deflation. But this disaster, unlike the great depression will also result in the loss of our sovereignty and our country as we are combined with Mexico and Canada into the North American Union as agreed to by President Bush in writing; our currency will have no value; there will be no Social Security, Medicare, Veterans or any other benefits. Many unions will continue to support illegals rather than Americans for the few remaining jobs. During great depression unions fought to protect American workers. Unlike the thirties, almost no one has relatives with a farm to feed them. There will be some satisfaction in knowing that those communist professors and government bureaucrats, who are now paid more than comparable jobs in private sector, and promoted this mess, will be unemployed without a pension or anything else just like the rest of us. This is the CCT at work. and you can thank Bush, McCain, Clinton, Obama and their ilk.

Some do not understand the “Sovereign Wealth Funds” owned by foreign governments that are buying stock in so called American companies. President Bush and the CCT have no objection because their plan is a One World Government dictatorship that would control everything and everybody. Destruction of our currency would also expedite this plan.

I don’t think there is anything that can be done to stop this economic meltdown, it has gone too far because CCT controlled media has kept most people in the dark, Hitler would be proud, He took over Germany the same way. If we elect officials at all levels who support “We the People”, we can destroy the CCT and prosecute them for Treason and other crimes. There is no question, none at all, that top elected officials are guilty of treason, but of course, their employees, the prosecutors refuse to charge them. Honest officials can prosecute them and impeach judges at all levels who refuse to obey our constitution. We can end the privately owned Federal Reserve and establish a constitutional currency. We must deport the illegals for the same reasons that Presidents Hoover and Eisenhower did it, and use whatever military force is required to keep them out. There is nothing racist about telling the truth, Illegals are profitable slaves for corporations, but the most deadly and costly enemy “We the people” have ever faced in loss of life, pain, suffering, property, living standards and almost everything else of value. The terrorists are a second class enemy when compared to illegals and the CTT who are destroying our country. Subsidizing illegals for benefit of the CCT is costing us Hundreds of Billions of dollars a year and seriously reducing our standard of living to pay for their Welfare, Food Stamps, School Lunches, Medicaid, Education, 27% of convicts are illegals, Suppressed Wages, Lost Jobs, Drugs, Crime, Billions sent out of country, additional cost of insurance. Money we spend on illegals is reducing promised benefits to our own poor, elderly, veterans. The damn government is even giving illegals our Social Security.

What can individuals do to protect themselves and their families during the meltdown? Having lived during the Great Depression, I think it is almost impossible for those who have not lived thru something like that to even accept the possibility of it. There is a strong consensus on the following minimum courses of action for survival: Obtain legal firearms (pistol and rifle) with plenty of ammunition . Keep cash on hand with minimum in bank. Buy newly minted U.S. gold coins. Try to reduce debt. Have food on hand to last a year if possible. Have a supply of medications and other necessities. Expect failure of just about everything you now take for granted. Try to partner with likeminded neighbors.

The “Chain of Command for Treason,” CCT has created the conditions that will organize and unleash the forces of their own destruction. These people in the arrogance of their ignorance have not learned that Americans will only tolerate so much before they react in a fury. They are such students of Hitler they do not realize people today have access to information not available in Nazi Germany. But they should have known that like a cornered animal, when people have nothing to lose they will fight with determination and ruthlessness for survival. Of course there will be some PC fools and wimps who do nothing, waiting for others to defend them, which will not happen since it will be survival of the fittest.

My prayer, and efforts are directed at reducing this catastrophe the only possible way I know by electing patriotic government officials at all levels dedicated to our constitution and serving” We the People” while dismantling “Chain of Command for Treason” and prosecuting every last one of the scumbags. I think the Presidential Election is a lost cause and we should concentrate on electing people to congress of both parties who owe their allegiance to “We the People” and will impeach executive and judicial officers as required. We must terminate the private Federal Reserve and attempt recovery of the stolen Trillions of Dollars. If we defeat the CCT with the rule of law before too many Americans had suffered badly we could hope to rebuild our country within the lifetimes of our great great grandchildren, otherwise, after a protracted struggle we would have a pyrrhic victory with much bloodshed like the French Revolution and we might never recover. Our argument is not with our constitutional form of government, it is with the traitors within it who are attempting to usurp and overthrow it with a coup d’etat. Our Declaration of Independence and Constitution are the greatest documents ever written, second only to the Holy Bible.

What is outlined in this article is only a small part of a complex Treason. If you find my writing difficult to accept based on media propaganda, then you should read some of the other expert writers on the subject with NewsWithViews.com. I highly recommend these writers and fighters: Chuck Baldwin, Dennis Cuddy, Devvy Kidd, Frosty Wooldridge, Jerome Corsi, Jim Schwiesow, Greg Evensen, Michael Cutler, David Stoddard, Mary Starrett, Jon Ryter, Deanna Spingola, Edwin Vieira, Jim Kouri, Laurie Roth, Lynn Stuter, John Slagle, Patrick Wood, Alan Stang, Dave Daubenmire, and Dan Howard.

The messenger with bad news gets no kudos. But, you should expect the premature demise of some of the many writers and fighters for America who are successful, because of proven ruthlessness of the “Chain of Command for Treason,” and the Trillions of Dollars they will lose if we prevail in our fight for America. We would not be the first nor the last.

AN S.O.S. TO AMERICA, GET TO A LIFEBOAT

AN S.O.S. TO AMERICA, GET TO A LIFEBOAT

By Greg Evensen

February 27, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

I have waited an extra week to see if the following letter would generate any response from those in authority over us. I have been grievously disappointed, but not at all surprised. To the hundreds of you who so graciously and forcefully responded, all I can offer you is deep gratitude for your efforts. We collectively made our last best try.

No one can say we did not do our best. The result was predictable but necessary, at least in my view, because what follows in the next few weeks and months will be so difficult for this nation as to be nearly indescribable. I pray to God Almighty that I am wrong about this, but I fear not. The United States of America is collapsing from within at an accelerating rate, at every level, and from every corner of a decayed foundation in Washington, D.C. The rest of the house--no matter how sturdily built--will fall as well. NO ONE will escape.

This letter is the result of your messages and is the communication that was forwarded to every member of Congress, the President, and as many state county board associations as we could locate. I sent one to the UN Secretary-General, the Federal Reserve Chairman and the Justice Department. It has taken almost three weeks and it may well have been for absolutely nothing, but I believe it was a necessary component to justify whatever comes. Here is what I sent out.

February 2008

To: The President of the United States
The Congress of the United States
The Justice Department of the United States
The United Nations Secretary-General
The Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve System
The 50 State’s County Board Chairmen

Greetings:

On behalf of American citizens invited to submit their concerns and suggestions to all of you, and the several hundred that responded, I ask only that you contemplate once again, the serious nature of our present national dilemma and regard these ideas with all of the serious responsibility that they require. This is America, advising you our representatives, or to the other named parties exerting heavy influence over the affairs of this nation. Please consider carefully your response to these matters and the ultimate effect your action or inaction will have on the future of the American people.

These statements are given in no particular order or preference. They represent the deepest, most heartfelt positions held by our fellow citizens.

Secure all of the borders from all illegal entries.
Return to a Constitutional Republic form of government.

Absolutely close our borders with any force necessary to do so.
Repeal NAFTA, WTO, or other trade related agreements harmful to US industry and reject any North American Union efforts.

Complete disqualification for an office holder if he/she is a past or present member of any lobbying group, international banking or commerce entity or groups calling for the surrender of US sovereignty such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the US State Dept., etc.
Create a tariff system that works and that would require all products originating out of country to pass safety measures and pricing standards protective of this nation’s manufacturers and this nation’s workers.
Convene grand juries in all 50 states to oversee the legality and constitutionality of any/all legislation passed since 1913.
Declare that corporations are no longer “persons,” have only granted privileges and do only what their charters permit. If they fail their charter obligations they may be permanently revoked within 30 days.

Articles of Impeachment filed for every politician or judge found in violation of his sacred oath of office or violation of jury protections.
Find, prosecute, deport and criminalize every illegal in America. Don’t say it can’t be done. The government can find anyone, anytime. They ignore illegals. Armed forces border security.

Eliminate the “corporate” status of the United States.
Return complete autonomy and sovereignty to each of the 50 states.
Eliminate “US citizenship” as created by the 14th amendment.
Return all citizens to sovereign state flesh and blood human beings.
Reject any and all attempts to inflict GPS and informational bio-chips on all citizens. Criminalize anyone who attempts to require their use.
Require and allow the free exercise of public acknowledgements of God anywhere, anytime and in all things public and private.
Eliminate all influences, requirements or taxing authority of any international bodies upon American citizens. Criminalize all agencies or individuals who “authorize” foreign troops or international laws from being forced upon citizens of this nation at any level by any agency.
Eliminate all secret intelligence gathering agencies and the Pentagon. Turn all such duties over to a select panel of generals and civilians answerable directly to the American people for accountability and actions taken.
Term limits at all levels of government. One six year term for President, two four year terms for Congressmen, two five year terms for senators, the same for state representatives and governors, and five year reviewable terms for Supreme Court judges. Eliminate federal courts at all levels except for Appeals. Same for the states.
Eliminate the national debt by decree. Return to constitutional coinage and value. All banks to be local. No fractional banking, that practice is a felony--lifetime in prison. No credit cards of any kind.
This represents the top 50 recommendations, frankly demands, by the segment of the population taking the time to submit them. Although they are distilled from hundreds of statements, many of them repeated in one form or another by scores of people with the same concerns, they are very serious and should be taken as such.

Unfortunately for the American people, this election cycle is frightening in its potential. Those anointed to run by their respective parties represent a minority of Americans who have a subversive and destructive agenda waiting to be forced upon us by every manner of unconstitutional authority. That is why this has been sent to you. The American people, that is, those who know the deep, sacrificial history of this nation and its Godly roots, will not long endure any more suffering at the hands of authorities who have given over to the lusts of absolute corrupted power. They have spoken. I encourage you with all due respect to listen to what they have to say. To do otherwise, is to invoke and justify the American nation to challenge your authority and act upon the provisions found in the original Declaration of Independence dealing with such institutional tyranny.

True freedom, the desire for absolute liberty and unwavering support of this nation—as it was instituted--requires that this letter be sent. I beg you to re-examine your positions in regard to this petition, seek change and remedy for it, and join with us in a brilliant renewal of our nation. On behalf of true American Patriots, I serve as their messenger and remain,

Most sincerely,

Gregory L. Evensen

There it is. We have done our best. Thank you so much for allowing me to send your deepest concerns to our governmental representatives. Pray that they will accept this with an open mind and heart. We could have done no less. We will give them time to respond. We will continue to prepare as the situation demands. You should use all of your resources and abilities to look ahead, clearly and with a strong heart. We will continue knowing that God is in control. Live your life true to your beliefs and fearing nothing that will come your way. S.O.S. stands for “Save Our Souls.” It is the message of a doomed vessel. It is followed by orders to retreat to lifeboats. The final call is to abandon ship. The S.O.S. has been given, fellow patriots, this letter is our lifeboat call. I will not abandon our ship just yet. There is one final call. We will muster to its bugle as the door of reason closes by the heavy hand of tyranny. May this be our rallying cry of resistance to that evil day. Freedom, America, now and forevermore.......

Obama Can't Stop America's Slide To Ruin

Obama Can't Stop America's Slide To Ruin
As economic troubles loom on the horizon and wars and rumors of wars continue on its upward trajectory the question of mankinds sinfulness cannot be ignored. America in particular must come to terms with its wickedness for as the poor man sits in jail as profiteers look upon creating a new slave force for corporate profits. Our leaders are too timid to deal with serious crimes committed by those who hold power and too controlled by the powerful to deal effectively with a very serious economic crisis. The era of American pre-emminence in the world appears to be coming to a rapid conclusion.

There will be little that those in Washington will do to stave off the very serious fiscal crisis we are now facing until the system has all but collapsed. Greed, corruption and wicked self-interest still rule the day in Washington and no one really cares about the nation as a whole or the citizens of this once great republic.

The Fed, Treasury and the President are in a state of denial. They are not seeing the problem for what it really is, or at least refuse to articulate it in public for fear of exacerbating the problems. Inflation is starting to rear its ugly head, especially commodities. More people are starting to receive unemployment benefits, consumer spending is suffering and homes are being repossessed at an ever quickening pace. These are just the beginnings of the things happening on main street. Wall Street is heading for an unmitigated disaster. From Mortgage Backed Securities to Credit default swaps to even municipal bonds, panic is spreading. There seems to be no way out of the pit we have dig for ourselves. We are a nation that no longer listens to wisdom or sage advise. Folly and ignorance have guided America for the past four decades; greed and avarice have been our chief counsellors, while perversions and intoxication have reigned in the minds and hearts of the American people. Now that the clouds of disaster loom on the horizon, People are clamoring for 'change'. This is why I think Obama is so popular. He represents something very different and is a person who has not been completely corrupted by politics in DC as both Hillary and McCain have been. Will Obama bring change? No. I can say that with a high degree of confidence. He has all the earmarks of a second Jimmy Carter, an 'outsider' who will listen to insiders as they continue to lead America into the proverbial ditch. For starters look at his judgment on Nato and Afghanistan. These are important questions and who he has advising him (Brezinski of the Carter years) does not inspire confidence.

Obama clearly does not understand the real problems in Afghanistan. Islamic militants are clearly our main target, but the other major problem is corruption. Karzai's government's corruption is off the scale and his administration is a direct link to drug trafficking. Everyone is doing it and Karzai along with his brother in particular (who is probably the biggest dope trafficker in Afghanistan) are not alone. Even the Taliban (whose anti-drug campaign while in power was quite exemplary) are now doing it. One UK journalists says that Afghanistan is darker and more dangerous than it ever was under the Taliban. This is why Obama's pledge of a billion dollars of aid money to be shipped to Afghanistan shows an incredible naivete. That money will go where the rest of Afghan aid money has gone, into a new wing of Karzai's palace, another heated indoor swimming pool and a fleet of Hummers for his friends as well as the usual investments in arms, trucks and GPS boxes to protect drug caravans as they cross dangerous territory.

US and Nato troops are stuck here in a terrible quagmire that simply cannot be won. History has taught us some valuable lessons about Afghanistan. namely, that it can be easily invaded, but not conquered and inevitable defeat here usually spells the end of great empires. Ask the Soviets.

One of the biggest problems with our Afghan policy is our support for Pakistan's Musharraf. That alone has fueled hatred for the US and helped swell the ranks of the disaffected into dissident Islamic groups that are very active in various ways in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. We made some extremely serious blunders there and one look at Brezinksi's plans for Afghanistan (found in the book 'The Grand Chessboard) tells us that Obama will only continue meddling in Afghanistan in ways that benefit Western Oil conglomerates. And Obama wants Nato's help? This is not likely without a workable plan and what is proposed is little more than geo-political solutions concocted by the politically immature.



If one American mistake was to merge al-Qaida and the Taliban into a single enemy, another was to imagine that Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI - itself made up largely of Pathans - could be mobilized effectively against the Taliban. The war in Afghanistan is almost certainly unwinnable. Instead of going in deeper, as the U.S. is urging, NATO should plan an exit strategy. That would be the sensible option. All the indications are that the war is going badly. Security has steadily deteriorated since the Taliban government was overthrown in 2001. Insurgency activity has intensified every year. Suicide bombings have greatly increased and casualty rates have soared. The Taliban have re-grouped and are now vigorously on the warpath.
Kabul itself is no longer safe. On 14 January, multiple suicide attacks on the Serena Hotel killed eight people during a visit by the Norwegian Foreign Minister. On 31 January, the deputy governor of Helmand province and five others were killed in an attack on a mosque. At the same time, U.S. blunders continue to inflict casualties on Afghan civilians and Afghan security forces. On 25 January, for example, nine Afghan police were killed in a firefight with U.S troops - an incident described by the U.S. as a 'misunderstanding.'
The United States has been urging its allies to commit more troops to the fight against the Taliban. But several NATO member countries are refusing to comply. Germany, for instance, has 3,200 men in Afghanistan, based in the relatively peaceful northern part of the country. It has rejected a U.S. appeal to redeploy them to the volatile Helmand province in the south. The Canadians would like to pull out their contingent altogether.
Several Western leaders are beginning to doubt the wisdom of the American-led war. The Afghan war has, in fact, become a subject of intense controversy inside NATO, threatening the alliance with a major split. - Dar Al Hayat


It is my personal desire the next President spends far less time on Foreign Policy debacles and begins to address some very large and nasty domestic problems that have been ignored since the days of Lyndon Johnson. I am not at all confident that this is going to happen. The kinds of folks hovering around him are too connected with the power centers that have created this unmaintainable empire based on an economic imperium that is crumbling at the foundations and international good will that has turned into hatred in much of the world. They do not have the answers to America's predicament and their views are too parochial and retrograde to provide viable options for this extremely critical upcoming administration.

What this nation needs now is new blood not just in the White House but in the Senate and House as well, because if the same old faces are sitting there in '09, nothing will change, except perhaps the tenor of hot air blown about the chambers. We will hear pretty speeches, the lobbyists will spread money around and pork will rule the day, not sound policies that protect the nations long term interests.

Who is to blame? The American people bear almost all of it. They refuse to see what is happening and only now are vaguely aware of it because it is starting to hit their pocketbooks. While our nation has gone on a killing spree around the world, they shopped, drank, snorted and fornicated their way into a hole of debt that they only now are beginning to see is much deeper than they were told by the man on the TV news broadcast. No one cared who we killed, bombed, maimed and tortured until the mortgage couldn't be paid and the cable bill was overdue. We have spent the earnings of the next three generations on a war that is as insane as it has been destructive to both our military, our economy and our international standing. Now Americans are clinging to 'change' in a person whose record is at best, chequered and whose judgment is suspect.


Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama says he'll crack down on fraudulent sub-prime lenders. If he really means it he can start by firing his campaign finance chair, Penny Pritzker. Before taking over Obama's campaign finances, she headed up the borderline shady and failed Superior Bank. It collapsed in 2002. The bank's sordid story and its abominable role in fueling the sub-prime crisis are well known and documented.
This is change? If so, then the status quo doesn't look so bad. I am not anti-Obama, for of the three remaining contenders he is by far still the best choice, provided he is capable of really listening to those whom the system has long ignored on issues where the insiders have monopolized power; Monetary policy and International policy. Mccain, as much as I respect his service is frankly one of the more corrupt Senators in Washington. A simple google search on McCain and Corruption will yield a plethora of information on him. Hillary? You will have a hard time distinguishing her actual voting record and Bush's foreign policy. It was Clintonism that sent us on the fiscal course we are now on. I am a realistic person who possesss a rare quality of being able to see past the 'image' to the realities. I see the next four years as being pivotal and our leadership as being simply not up to the task. The crisis we are facing needs solutions now, not 4 years from now. What is happening in the markets could very well lead us to a Second Great Depression. I do not see problem solvers in the race, I see only the usual politicians posturing, lying and accusing who lack any clear and concise vision on where he or she will take the nation and how they will deal with our pressing economic and political problems, not least of which is the rampant corruption that rules the roost in Washington. In short the next President and his decisions will decide if Americans are able to still maintain some semblance of their lifestyle or if we slide into a tryannical police state with third world-like economic conditions. America has made her bed and the willful ignorance, greed, gluttony, broken families (due to adultery, fornication and domestic violence) of her populace is going to be paid with a much heavier price than most imagine.

America – A Nation of Forgetfulness and Neglect!

America – A Nation of Forgetfulness and Neglect!

“O generation, see ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? A land of darkness? Wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me days without number.”

Jeremiah 2:31-32
“Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him?”

Hebrews 2:1-3
“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.”

Deuteronomy 8:18-20
“The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”

Psalm 9:16-17
In this issue of the Last Trumpet, we are going to focus on many amazing things that are happening all around us, and yet most of them remain unnoticed by the vast majority of the people. The primary reason for this gross unawareness is apathy toward truth. No thinking person could miss the multitude of signs from the Almighty that are happening every day, which mean that most people are not thinking. We live in a world full of distractions and misdirection, designed by Satan to keep people from understanding spiritual conditions and events. Analytical thought and reason cannot exist in a society where spiritual truth means nothing. Thus, people continue to move through life clinging to one false hope after another.

It has been said that history teaches us that men learn nothing from history. Why are the same mistakes made over and over again? Why do the people of the United States allow themselves to be used, misused, and abused repeatedly by those who are supposed to be leading them? Satan knows full well the propensity of people to forget. It is like a person in severe pain, whose full attention is on that pain until it leaves. Once the pain is gone, it is quickly forgotten. Then it returns again and the cycle is repeated. This will never change as long as people forget and neglect Almighty God. Such forgetfulness and neglect allow another force to come in and control their lives. Thus, the power of Antichrist comes in, and the words of the Lord Jesus, as found in John 5:43, loom largely before us as follows: “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”

The world, and especially America, has never been more ready and willing to receive the ultimate deceiver. The spiritual environment is right for it, and people have been pickled in the brine of deception for so long that they will perceive the personification of Satan himself as the saviour of the world. Only the true remnant Christians will see the beast for what he really is, for this knowledge does not come except by revelation from Heaven. The urgent question is: will you receive the Lord Jesus or be deceived by an antichrist and his adoring world? The time to seek the Lord Jesus is right now, even as you read this. He will bring unto you salvation, and his abiding presence will keep you always, even through the darkest hour!

2008 – The Year of Transition!

At the time of this writing, we are two weeks into the new year of 2008. It is a leap year, therefore one day has been added at the end of February to bring the calendar year into balance with the solar year. Witches and occultists believe it is a year of greater power as time becomes balanced with the astral plane. Every leap year is a Presidential election year in the United States. It is also the year when the Olympics are held with all of the pagan worship of false gods and goddesses. This is when the “sacred torch” is ignited on Mt. Olympus by rays from the sun as the high priestess holds it high in the air. The torch then travels around the world and finally arrives at its destination in Red China. The torch is then used to light the “sacred cauldron” at the beginning of the Olympic games. We know from the Bible that nothing brings the wrath of God upon a people more quickly than gross, defiant idolatry.

Many strange things have been happening in the religious world recently, and as a result of these things, this erstwhile great nation of the United States of America could hardly now be recognized as a Christian nation. On December 22nd, 2007, the day of the witches’ sabat of Yule, a new Hindu temple was dedicated in Sugarland, Texas. This Texas community was the gathering place of over one thousand Hindus as Sri Saumyakasi Sivalaya, the new temple dedicated to “Lord Shiva”, the snake god, was dedicated. (1) Texas has become a stronghold for the Hindu religion with its devil worship disguised as “harmonic prayer services.” (2)

There is definitely an unification of the religions as never before has been seen, and there is a common occult thread running through them all! On December 11th, 2007 the Vatican, (the word Vatican means divination in classical Latin) lighted their ninety-foot Christmas tree in St. Peter’s Square. At the top was an unusual eight-pointed star. (3) The eight-pointed star has always represented the eight witches’ sabats and is strictly an occult symbol. On December 22nd, 2007, the witches’ sabat of Yule, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair left the Church of England and converted to Roman Catholicism. No British prime minister had ever done this before. (4) Mr. Blair is known quite well for his devotion to new age occultism.

On January 3rd, 2007, the Vatican announced that it will hold meetings with Moslem leaders around the time of the spring equinox. The Vatican office of Inter-religious Dialogue will endeavor to bring “Christian” and Moslem leaders together to “develop their common ground of belief in One God.” (5) In addition to that, on January 10th, 2008, the British Parliament began work on a motion to “disestablish the Church of England.” This would separate the church and state in England. The number of registry for that official motion was motion number 666. (6)

Wars and rumors of wars and distress of nations also seem to be the order of the day. The U.S. Bush wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now costing seventeen billion dollars each month, and there is still no real end in sight. (7) On December 20th, 2007, the Pentagon called for an additional 74,000 soldiers to fight these and other potential wars. (8) Meanwhile, former top U.S. Commander in Iraq, Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez, issued the following statement: “The Bush administration’s catastrophic failure in leadership of the Iraq war has mired the U.S. in a nightmarish conflict with no clear way out. There has been a glaring, unfortunate display of incompetent strategic leadership within our national leaders.” (9)

It is interesting to note that a strong resistance to the Bush Administration has arisen in Vermont. In Brattleboro, Vermont, there is a petition in the works for the arrest and indictment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for war crimes if they ever come to that area. It is no joke! Incidentally, Vermont is the only state that President Bush has never visited! (10)

The beginning of the New Year has also brought forth increased activity in the Presidential campaigns and primary elections. I must point out that very strange spiritual forces are at work in these campaigns. In the Iowa Caucus, Hillary Clinton was a big loser. After finishing in third place, every analyst and expert without exception declared that she was finished. The news media ran with this story, and no one thought she could revive and move forward. Hillary’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, was so enraged that Barack Obama won the Iowa Caucus that he keyed Obama’s car. Shocked reporters watched as Bill Clinton took a key and put a long, deep scratch in Barack Obama’s car. (11) Witnesses said that Bill Clinton was wild-eyed as he twirled his keys and said, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.” (12) This is outright vandalism, and perhaps he is feeling the same spirit of destruction that he and Hillary felt during their rabble-rousing hippie days of the 1960’s revolution.

According to certain high-level witch covens in California, Hillary Clinton is a fourth-level witch. I do not doubt it because she has all the characteristics of that rank. After her huge loss in Iowa, something tragic happened in Sioux City, Iowa, on the night before the New Hampshire primary. On January 8th, 2008, the Sioux City Journal newspaper and the Associated Press reported that a male witch was caught after killing two young girls in a ritual that turned out to be human sacrifice. Kendra Suing, 10, and Alysha Suing, 8, were dead; and Lawrence Douglas Harris Sr. was arrested for the witchcraft slaying. He admitted to doing this while casting spells. (13) Suddenly, everything turned around for Hillary Clinton. Hillary was a big winner in New Hampshire, and it was reported that women voters gave her a victory margin of thirteen percent! The Washington Post featured a short but profound headline for the Hillary Clinton victory story. That two-word headline was “She Lives!” (14)

On the 11th day of January, 2008, Reuters News Service reported that Mexico’s Grand Warlock predicted that Hillary Clinton would be the next President of the United States. (15) Occult forces are at work, and only Almighty God can stop them. Another occult sign regarding Hillary Clinton is that it has been thirteen years since she made her flashy debut regarding a national health plan. She now has a health plan which would require every American to have health insurance in the same way that they must have car insurance. Tax credits would be given to people to offset the cost. (16)

One more thing must be noted about the occult-powered victory of Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. We know that the American flag consists of thirteen alternating red and white stripes, a blue field in the upper left corner, and fifty white five-pointed stars with one point up and two points down. Hillary celebrated her success in New Hampshire by suspending a giant American flag on the wall of her campaign headquarters. This flag had all fifty of its white stars, or pentacles, two points up and one point down. (17) I have never seen such a flag before. As a former occultist, I immediately recognized that this pentacle with two points up is the symbol of the Goat of Mendes or Baphomet, the Horned Hunter of the Night. This symbol is also used in Freemasonry – the Blue Lodge and the Eastern Star. It is one of the most powerful symbols in both witchcraft and Satanism!

President Bush in An Ancient Land!

Recently, President George W. Bush arrived in the State of Israel on what he referred to as a “peace mission.” His date of arrival was January 8th, 2008, a new moon and the first day of the Hebrew month Shevat. This is the eleventh month in the Hebrew calendar. In addition to that, forty years have now passed since the recapture of Jerusalem in 1967. With those numbers in mind: first day, eleventh month, and forty years, consider the words of Deuteronomy 1:3 & 8, as follows: “And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them……Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.”

I find it rather remarkable that President Bush would show up on that very day with the intention of not only dividing the ancient land to create a Palestinian State, but also to divide the city of Jerusalem itself! President Bush set forth a checklist for creating the new State of Palestine, which would force the State of Israel to give up the West Bank, Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem. (18) Is President Bush by his actions catapulting us into World War III and bringing forth the final fulfillment of Scripture? This is a touchy and sensitive issue for Jews and the Moslem world. It is Jerusalem that is the prime point of contention. In Zechariah 12:2-3 we read as follows: “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

When President Bush arrived in Israel, he was presented a document called Megillat Bush, or the Bush Scroll. It was presented by the New Jewish Congress, the Sanhedrin, and the Holy Temple and Temple Mount movements. The scroll declared and reasserted Divine right for the Jews to have an undivided land of Israel and city of Jerusalem. I have a copy of this scroll in front of me, and the striking thing about it is the title by which President Bush is called. The two lines preceding the second paragraph of the scroll read as follows: “Esteemed Mr. George W. Bush, The Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal. (Ezekiel 38:1) Leader of the West.” (19) Why would the high councils of the State of Israel call President Bush by this title? Ezekiel 38:1-3 reads as follows: “And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.” The remainder of the chapter goes on to tell us that this “chief prince” brings forth a great war in the Middle East, involving many nations. Are we, at this very time, witnessing the fulfillment of some of the last prophecy? How much more specific can it get?

We also know that President Bush is continually railing against Iran as a great threat to peace. Will this Gog of the land of Magog, the chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal, start a war with Iran? If he does, we must all take note of the fact that on December 27th, 2007, Russia declared that they would supply Iran with full air defense. The Russian High Command also issued the following statement: “Our capabilities outstrip the U.S. Patriot missile system. The S-300 missile systems could inflict significant damage to the U.S. or Israeli forces were they to attack Iran.” (20)

I must mention one more amazing thing that comes to mind when I consider the title given to President Bush by the high officials in the State of Israel. When George W. Bush stole the election for the first time and became President, I was in contact with a person whose late father had been a member of the secret order known as the Skull and Bones. This woman had the documents to prove what she was saying, and there is no way I will ever release her name to anyone. Here let it be noted that when George W. Bush was initiated in the Tomb of the Skull & Bones at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, he was given a new name, even as all initiates are given a new name upon completion of their initiation. The name given to George W. Bush was Magog!

Controlled and Integrated Human Units!

On December 20th, 2007, just as the witches’ sabat was approaching, the head of the American version of the Gestapo, the Department of Homeland Security, announced that his new satellite-surveillance system was ready to be implemented. Michael Chertoff, whose last name is Russian and means son of Satan, has unveiled his fifteen billion dollar cyber security program, which will watch every person from space. (21) In addition to that, the FBI, or Federal Bureau of Investigation is embarking on the creation of a single database that is so large, it will keep track of every person in the United States and elsewhere in great detail. This spy agency is spending one billion dollars on this effort initially. (22) Included in this database will be biometrics, such as fingerprints, handprints, iris scans, and so on. There will be an exchange of personal data such as never existed before, including information so intimate that it reads the human body and sends the information to space and back again. The headquarters for this database is at a secret location in the Appalachian foothills. (23)

In the state of California, a new type of thermostat will be required in all new buildings and homes and in some existing ones as well. This innovative thermostat will eventually be required everywhere in California. It is radio controlled, and it allows the government to remotely control everyone’s heating and cooling systems. The user will be able to override the system at first, but there is a lockout feature, which allows the government to maintain whatever temperature it wants in your home during what they say are “times of emergency.” (24) With that thought in mind, we must remember that the only reason the government declares emergencies of any kind is to gain more power for itself.

Everything seems to be tightening up quickly in this New Year of 2008. In England, it was announced on the thirteenth day of January that thousands of prisoners are going to be microchipped for constant tracking and monitoring by satellite. (25) This will no doubt become a worldwide procedure quickly. More and more power is now in the hands of fewer people, and privacy is a thing of the past!

Strange things are going on, and as the Bible says, there are signs in the heavens. On January 14th, 2008, dozens of people in Stephenville, Texas, watched a large, silent UFO race through the clear night skies. These people, including a constable, a pilot, and business owners, saw the metallic disc with bright lights, dashing through the sky at altitudes of only 300 feet as it was being chased by two jet fighters. The U.S. Air Force is denying everything. (26) Does our government have cards it is not showing?

Dispensable Human Beings!

On January 4th, 2008, the Financial Post reported that a new crisis has arisen. Food prices are expected to rise so dramatically in 2008 that the rising prices of oil will seem mild by comparison. In 2007 wheat prices rose 92%, and corn prices went up 44% during the past fifteen months. The primary reason for the food prices skyrocketing in America is because so many people in Red China and India have become wealthy enough to be in a massive middle class that has the ability to pay for more and better food produced in America. This heavy foreign demand is raising the prices dramatically. (27) Scientists are now saying that it has become necessary to genetically engineer raw foods to increase production. (28)

There are many problems that have developed from genetically altered foods, sometimes known as “frankenstinian” foods. Since biotech companies have been producing these foods, there has been a dramatic increase in allergies of various kinds. These allergic reactions affect the upper respiratory system, the eyes, and the skin. (29) In some cases, fruits and vegetables are produced with the partial genetic makeup of fruit flies and other insects. The sad fact is that the elitist rulers are stooges of the Antichrist, and they really do not care about people. This becomes obvious if you look beyond their deceptive language and see what they are doing.

It is also a sad fact that the people of the United States are being slowly and systematically poisoned with a mind-altering drug that is being passed off as a flavor enhancer. I am referring to monosodium glutamate. Monosodium glutamate is being used in nearly all processed foods. (30) It does not really enhance the flavor of anything. It works as a drug that deceives the brain into thinking the food tastes better by means of glutamate receptors. It covers up stale, bitter, and even rancid tastes. Just as narcotics put the mind in an altered state of consciousness, so MSG puts the human sense of taste in an altered state of flavor detection. It is actually a nerve poison! (31) MSG causes so many symptoms of illness that I cannot mention them in this writing. So much of what is wrong with the physical condition of people in America is due to unwise eating.

It would seem that we are living on a poisoned planet in these last days before the return of the Lord Jesus. On December 16th, 2007, two large reservoirs serving Los Angeles, California, had to be shut down. Sunlight reacting with chlorine produced a cancer-causing bromate, and six hundred million gallons of water must be drained even though drought conditions already plague the area. (32)

Truly, our Saviour is coming soon. We know that scientists have been doing fearful and amazing things with restructuring DNA, and according to Dr. Paul Rabinow of the University of California – Berkeley, it is now possible to alter DNA and produce entirely new life forms. (33) The possibilities are frightening and may seem like science fiction. The problem is that it is not fiction. In these last days, scientists are trying to become little gods that create new beings. How long will the Almighty and only true creator allow this to go on?

Satan’s New Society!

Can it get any worse? Never has there been a society such as this one. Truly, it is now as it was in the days of Noah, and as it was in the days of Sodom! Every kind of outrageous thing is happening continually. On December 22nd, 2007, the Associated Press reported that a man in Bremerton, Washington, put up a display in the form of a fifteen-foot crucifix with Santa Claus nailed to a cross. It also contained the message, “Santa died for your Mastercard.” (34)

In New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has launched a program to attract homosexuals and lesbians to his city, known as the Big Apple. The city’s department of tourism started the program by taking out a three-page advertisement in the December/January issue of Out Magazine. This is a magazine designed specifically for sodomites. The city of New York has also launched a thirty-million dollar campaign to attract sodomites world-wide, and they are hoping to draw fifty million visitors to the city by the year 2015. They are especially appealing to homosexuals and lesbians to spend Valentines Day in New York City. The Department of Tourism for New York City is called NYC & Company. That agency also stated that the homosexuals and lesbians are a lucrative people to invite to the city, because as couples they usually have two incomes, and they are big spenders. It was also noted that they have the advantage of having no children. (35) These are the days like unto Sodom!

On December 31st, 2007, the University of Virginia announced that they were testing a new breakthrough in the form of a topical ointment called LibiGel. This topical drug is being tested by ninety-nine other medical institutions as well and is expected to be available soon. LibiGel is designed for women, and it has the same effect on women that Viagra has on men. (36)

If you think that Satan would be content with demoralizing people with just social immorality, you are in for another sad shock. Satan must always blaspheme along with it in order to make God and Christianity appear to be as corrupt as he is. Recently, the United Methodist-affiliated Boston School of Theology hosted and sponsored a conference called “Queering the Church: Changing Ecclesial Structures.” Conference speakers advocated the following: “Hard core queer theology”, “triadic unions”, “erotic relations with the divine”, and “the queerness of God.” One instructor, who calls himself “the Rev.” Robert Goss, referred to his book entitled “Jesus Acted Up: A Gay and Lesbian Manifesto.” Goss claims that Jesus was sexually intimate with his male disciples. Goss also boasted that his congregation stages gay passion plays with transgender characters and queer nativity scenes. Goss was backed up by Episcopal theologian Carter Heyward, who proudly stated, “I have found liberation from heterosexism through the hot desire of a queer God who we incarnate and share flesh with.” (37) It just doesn’t get any worse than that! How can any discerning person doubt that our King of Righteousness is about to return with powerful and fiery judgment?

Righteous judgment is already happening in measure. On January 14th, 2008, Reuters News Service released a story about the “superbug” bacteria called MRSA. This bacterium is potentially deadly and resists antibiotics. MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. This dangerous bug is usually contracted in hospitals, and it killed over 19,000 Americans in 2005. Now it has been discovered that it is sexually transmitted by homosexual men. Research reveals that homosexual men are thirteen times more likely to get MRSA than anyone else. (38) Strangely enough, MRSA, when viewed through a microscope, appears as a bright lavender colored cluster. Lavender is the color used by sodomites to promote their queer cause. One example is their infamous “lavender triangle.”

Truly, the end of this present world is near. The grace of Almighty God is far beyond my comprehension, but there will be an abrupt end to the age of grace. The earth continues to vibrate and shake with nearly three hundred significant earthquakes of magnitude four or greater in the past thirty days. The asteroid that is headed toward Mars will now probably miss that planet, even though the probability of this event increased two-fold. (39) Recently, many major astronomers have reported that the universe is rapidly changing. Dr. J. Craig Wheeler said, “What is odd and what is normal is changing.” The astronomers have stated that the universe has become “violent.” Stars are dying too fast, and “menacing black holes are roaming our galaxy, gobbling up planets.” (40) These are days of wandering stars, when the darkness of space has come down to fill the hearts of sinful people. It is time for all people everywhere to repent, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh!

In closing, I want to thank all of you who support this end time prophetic ministry. We continue to invite you to send us your prayer requests as our prayer teams take each one individually, and we bring them to the throne of Almighty God. If you have not yet sent in your 2008 renewal form for this newsletter, this is a final reminder. Grace and peace be unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
