THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS: DECEIT, DECEPTION & DISTORTION

THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS: DECEIT, DECEPTION & DISTORTION

While there are many examples of treachery in human history: those against innocent people, against those who invented something that the more powerful interests did not want to compete with, those against rulers by those who wanted their kingdom, and those against government so they could distort a country’s monetary system for their own financial gain and empowerment. In light of the expanding and evolving global financial crisis, this is where we find ourselves. In reality, we are seeing the global empowerment of a central banking system which is now global. They are now creating the conditions to give them the rest of the regulatory powers they still lack.

If one looks at the financial history of America, they will see from the beginning there was a political and financial tug of war over whether a private corporation, like the Bank of England, would control our monetary system. Alexander Hamilton favored the aristocratic tradition of central banking versus that of Thomas Jefferson who was for limited government that controlled our monetary system.

According to The Federal Reserve Conspiracy by Antony C. Sutton, Alexander Hamilton introduced a bill into the House to “grant a charter for the privately owned Bank of the United States, creating the first private money monopoly in the U.S. and which was a predecessor to the Federal Reserve in 1913. The charter of the First Bank of the United States expired in 1811. The War of 1812 presented bank supporters with a new argument—financial distress brought about by the war required financial relief in the form of a new national bank. The Second Bank of the United States was signed into law in 1816” with a term of 20 years. [Read the "The Coming Battle" originally published in 1899]

It was Andrew Jackson who not only routed out the British in the War of 1812, but refused to renew the charter of the Second Bank. The goal of the international bankers from 1836 until 1913 was to get the U.S. to set up a central bank!

In the book, Captains and The Kings by Taylor Caldwell, she writes about a group of powerful insiders who run the world and control history, “They talked only of money, the greatest of powers, the most pragmatic of common denominators. It was accepted that all other things besides money and the power of money were outside the consideration of intelligent men.”

One of the main characters says to a younger man whom he is educating in the ways of the world, “You will recall a discussion today concerning the dissatisfaction the [foreign] gentlemen feel for our absurd Constitutional Amendment that only Congress has the power to coin money. They are now trying to influence our government to permit a private Federal Reserve System to coin and issue and control currency, without the consent of Congress or any other governmental agency” (pp.301-302).

Only a few people today know that the Federal Reserve, our central bank, is not federal nor does it have any reserves. Its beginnings are vested in a deep cloak of secrecy by a group of bankers comprised of Senator Nelson Aldrich, father-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., German banker Paul Warburg, Henry P. Davison, partner in J.P. Morgan and National City Bank (today Citigroup), Frank Vanderlip, Benjamin Strong, and Charles D. Norton. A number of them represented J.P. Morgan while others represented Kuhn-Loeb and the Rockefeller interests.

They met on Jekyll Island in 1910 where they planned exactly how the Federal Reserve would be established. The need for the central bank, they said, was precipitated by the 1907 panic. Back then, a number of money trusts banks began to call their loans which precipitated a run on the Heinze-Morse Mercantile National Bank. The owners of this bank were concerned citizens who were trying to oppose the Wall Street money trust. Guess who won? J. P. Morgan along with Rockefeller, Harriman and Kuhn Loeb.

The Federal Reserve Act passed “with almost unprecedented speed” according to the New York Times and the House voted 298 to 60 to pass it at 11:00 p.m., Monday, December 22, 1913. The whole process of democratically controlled Congress gave the Federal Reserve the power to control the entire monetary system of the United States. Those involved with the creation of the Federal Reserve included Kuhn-Loeb, National City Bank, First National Bank, Bankers Trust, Guaranty Trust and J. P. Morgan. If the British Royal Family was one of the largest investors in the Bank of England, I would imagine that they are also an investor in other central banks, including the Federal Reserve. It should be noted that many of these same banks are involved in today’s credit crunch. Surprise. Surprise.

According to G. Edward Griffin in The Creature from Jekyll Island, the goals of the international bankers, i.e. the banking cartel was to “involve the federal government as an agent shifting the inevitable losses from the owners of those banks to the taxpayers.” Griffin goes on to write, “The Game-Called-Bailout as it actually has been applied to specific cases including Penn Central, Lockheed, New York City, Chrysler, Commonwealth Bank of Detroit, First Pennsylvania Bank, Continental Illinois, and others (25).” Let us add Long Term Capital Management, BCCI, and now Bear Stearns. All of these owed money to the same banks which financed the Federal Reserve in the first place. Griffin goes on to write, “The history of increasing government intervention in the housing industry; the stifling of free-market forces in residential real estate; the resulting crisis S&L industry; the bailout of that industry with money taken from the taxpayer (67).”

In September, 2007, NewsWithViews.com carried an article that I did on the fact that the sub prime credit crunch is a ruse. I basically said that all of the banks involved both in Europe and the U.S. are inter-related with interlocking Boards of Directors. In fact, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair just joined JP Morgan as senior advisor! Should I also mention that JP Morgan is closely associated with the Rothschild’s who are investors in various central banks?

What we have to understand is that in order to integrate the world economically, all that remains are the structural changes: from national accounting rules to global accounting rules, from national clearing and settlement to a global system of clearing and settlement; from national regulatory laws to a global system of regulatory laws; and to bring the U.S. into a 21st century global regulatory system by tearing down the current system and globalizing all our financial and securities laws. In other words, the very last vestiges of our economic sovereignty are being changed before our very eyes because of another trumped up credit crisis.

Global crises are only possible because the barriers between all the nation-states have been torn down: the economic, financial, political, trade, legal, and intelligence. Because of this “flat landscape,” it is now possible to bring down the value of all the stock exchanges at once instead of one at a time because of the barriers! Think how expedient that is for those who are in positions of this kind of power? No longer will any government official have any type of power!

Let me also point out that we now see treasury officials and central bank ministers acting in concert. Before 1998, they acted independently; today they act and think as one.

The Game Called Bailout has just gone global. No longer will they have to worry about what country they are using for personal gain. While the Federal Reserve expanded their powers by bailing out Bear Stearns, an international bank, which is not part of their 1913 powers, it will be the same kind of Congress that will globalize The Bailout Game and now allow you and me to become the true lender of last resort as we foot the bill for derivatives, futures, options, and any other problem they can contrive.

OPRAH AND TOLLE FUEL NEW AGE REVIVAL

OPRAH AND TOLLE FUEL NEW AGE REVIVAL
By Berit Kjos

March 30, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

"This book’s main purpose is ... to bring about a shift in consciousness.... Not everyone is ready yet, but many are, and with each person who awakens, the momentum in the collective consciousness grows."[1,p.6-7] Eckhart Tolle

"Oprah is helping propel the spiritual enlightenment book [New Earth] to dizzying heights, thanks to an unprecedented online promotion that includes a 10-week interactive Webcast discussion..."[2]

“I am a Christian who believes that there are certainly many more paths to God other than Christianity."[2] Oprah Winfrey

"Jesus said... 'No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" John 14:6

Remember the lasting symbols of the sixties? Beatle mania? "Free love"? The peace sign? Maharishi Yogi (the subject of John Lennon's song, "Sexy Sadie")?[3]

The New Age revolution seemed to fade away, didn't it? But instead it was spreading its hidden roots across America. Now its mysticism and sexual "freedom" are back in full bloom! And countless ex-hippies are reviving Eastern meditation, yogic "breathing" and other pathways to "collective consciousness."

This "awakening" is a natural part of the postmodern rejection of truth. Neither facts, logic, nor Biblical faith are relevant to the new spirituality. So it's not surprising that Eckhart Tolle, celebrated author of "A New Earth," dismisses them all as "form" or "ego:" distracting "attachments" that block awareness of oneness with "God."

Tolle's teaching is anything but new. One of his sources of inspiration was the 13th century “father of German mysticism,” Meister Eckhart, who wrote, "He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment."[4] It's interesting that Tolle did "let go" of any attachment to his original first name, Ulrich. He changed it to Eckhart.

To validate his message, Eckhart Tolle reinterprets history. Notice how he blends Eastern and Western mysticism -- praising Zen as well as the Kabbalah:

"The greatest achievement of humanity is... the recognition of its own dysfunction, its own madness. In the distant past, this recognition already came to a few individuals. A man called Gautama Siddhartha, who lived 2,600 years ago in India, was perhaps the first who saw it with absolute clarity. Later, the title Buddha was conferred upon him. Buddha means 'the awakened one.'”[1,p.14]

"...religions, to a large extent, became divisive rather than unifying forces. ... They became ideologies, belief systems people could identify with and so use them to enhance their false sense of self."[1,p.15]

"...movements developed within all major religions that represented not only a rediscovery, but in some cases an intensification of the light of the original teaching. This is how Gnosticism and mysticism came into existence in early and medieval Christianity, Sufism in the Islamic religion, Hasidism and Kabbala in Judaism, Advaita Vedanta in Hinduism, Zen... in Buddhism.... Their numbers were never large enough to have any significant impact on the deep collective unconsciousness of the majority."[1,p.16-17]

Since the spiritual climate has changed, "enlightened" prophets expect the current awakening to reach a critical mass that will usher all of humanity (except uncompromising resisters) into the New Earth: a physical manifestation of the New Heaven (which has nothing in common with the Biblical heaven). Detached from "form," the people will know their identity as "I AM," or universal "Consciousness."

Of course, if you're more comfortable with God's Word than with occult experiences, you won't share in this awakening. You can't stand with one foot in each camp.

INTO THE DARKNESS

But Carla Siegel tried. "I was a Christian," she told me. "But when we moved to New Mexico, I started questioning my beliefs and exploring some of the New Age bookstores. Soon I was seduced by the teachings of Emmet Fox and others. Satan's favorite trick is to twist what God says. I know that now." She continued,

"I joined a meditation group. Some of the new age is being driven by the Alice Bailey type of occultism, but most of the people in my group were fans of "Abraham," the demonic spirit guide behind The Secret -- which is all about getting what you want.

"But I was more attracted to Eckhart Tolle's Buddhist angle. Though I had explored both sides, I wanted more of a personal experience with God. Like other New Agers, I would twist the Bible into something that fit my new thinking. So I believed that the Bible's statement about losing your life to save it meant you must dissolve the ego to gain peace.

"I stayed with it for a couple of years and faced constant emotional torment. The pain supposedly meant I was growing. (Ha!) I was told that my ego was the problem -- and that the meditation (for stilling your mind or detaching from your thoughts) would alleviate the depression. But it kept getting worse. The feelings of dejection and despair were overwhelming."[5]

Carla's story is sadly familiar. The "beautiful side of evil" deceives "even the elect" -- if only for a season. Confusion, depression, anger and nightmares often follow the initial euphoria, since Satan has no mercy for his victims! Read Pat's story, then Valerie's testimony and learn more about his cruel ways. Only by God's grace did they escape the darkness of today's false "light."[6]

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light, and light for darkness," warned the prophet Isaiah (5:20). But as "awakenings" spread, fewer will listen.

"IMAGINE"

John Lennon's most famous song outlines the heart of this deception. Notice how its lines match Tolle's occult teachings.

1. THE NEW EARTH: "Imagine there's no heaven; it's easy if you try...."

"...heaven is not a location but refers to the inner realm of consciousness.... Earth, on the other hand, is the outer manifestation in form, which is always a reflection of the inner.... 'A new heaven' is the emergence of a transformed state of human consciousness, and 'a new earth' is its reflection in the physical realm."[1,p.23]

In contrast, God's Word points us to "the hope which is laid up for you in heaven..." Colossians 1:4

2. NO SIN OR HELL: "No hell below us. Above us only sky…"
"If evil has any reality... this is also its definition: complete identification with form.... This results in a total unawareness of my connectedness with the whole, my intrinsic oneness with every other as well as with the Source. This forgetfulness is original sin, suffering, delusion."[1,p.22]

"Recognize the ego for what it is: a collective dysfunction, the insanity of the human mind.... Nobody is wrong. It is the ego in someone, that's all."[1,p.76]

Actually evil and hell are real. God is Judge as well as Savior. But God has provided a way to heaven through the cross.

3. LIVING IN THE NOW: "Imagine all the people, Living for today..."

"...only the present moment can make us free. That realization is the awakening.... A new heaven and a new earth are arising within you at this moment...." [1,p.308]

"The Now is also central to the teaching of Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam. Sufis have a saying: 'The Sufi is the son of time present.'... Meister Eckhart, the thirteenth-century spiritual teacher, summed it all up beautifully: 'Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time.'"[7]

There is no obstacle to our God, who sets our hope on the future, not the present: "For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face." 1 Corinthians 13:12

4. A UNITED WORLD: "Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do."

"The only actions that do not cause opposing reactions are those that are aimed at the good of all.... They are not for 'my' country but for all of humanity, not for 'my' religions but the emergence of consciousness in all human beings..."[1,p.290]

Order Berit's book Brave New Schools

But our God describes a different scenario, "...nation will rise against nation.... Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.... And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.... And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." Mt 24:7-14

5. NO CREED, NO DOCTRINE: "And no religion too."

"...religions, to a large extent, became divisive rather than unifying forces. ... They became ideologies, belief systems people could identify with."[1,p.15]

“The true Church is the kingdom of God on earth …composed of all, regardless of race or creed, who live by the light within....”[1,p.11]

But Jesus, who enables us to follow Him, said, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him...." John 14:21

6. PEACE. ALL IS ONE: "Imagine all the people, Living life in peace..."
"At that deeper level, all things are one."[1,p.276]

"You realize your true identity as consciousness.... That's the peace of God. The ultimate truth of who you are is not I am this or I am that, but I Am."[1,p.56-57]

But God, who offers His peace to all who trust and follow Him, says, "I will be their God, and they shall be My people.' Therefore 'Come out from among them and be separate...” 2 Corinthians 6:16-17

GOD'S ULTIMATE VICTORY

Eckhart Tolle is not our enemy in this spiritual war. Like countless other "false teachers," he's merely a useful servant to a far more menacing foe. Since Satan continues to masquerade as "an angel of light," this reminder is worth repeating:

"Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:10-12

By God's grace, Carla has learned that lesson well. After two years of "experiencing a universal "God" -- accompanied by intensifying depressions, misery and confusion -- the true God has set her free:

"The feelings of dejection and despair were overwhelming, but God kept calling me back to Himself in the midst of it. Finally, a few weeks ago, I threw out $400 worth of books. That was a toughie. But I was tired of needless suffering. ... The saving power of my Lord Jesus Christ is incredible -- far beyond understanding!"

Most of the people trapped by the enticing lights of the occult will never find the exit. So don't follow those lights! Test all things through the filter of Truth! Then delight in the victory our Lord has won for us through the cross!

OPRAH AND THE GOSPEL OF ME

OPRAH AND THE GOSPEL OF ME

By Paul Proctor

April 9, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

There are a couple of You Tube video clips making their rounds on the Internet that have aroused a lot of attention lately. I know this because they keep showing up in my email inbox from readers of this column.

I’ve seen two versions – both of which reveal celebrity talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, denying the exclusivity of Jesus Christ as the only way to God – going so far as to tell members of her studio audience:

“There couldn’t possibly be just one way.”

The clip I’d like to focus on, Oprah Denies Christ – obviously taken from an earlier episode of Oprah, shows her challenging a couple of audience members’ faith in Christ – recalling author Daniel Quinn and apparently a character from one of his books – more specifically, a gorilla, as saying:

“…One of the mistakes that human beings make is believing that there is only one way to live and that we don’t accept that there are diverse ways of being in the world – that there are millions of ways to be a human being…and many ways…many paths to what you call God – and her path might be something else – and when she gets there she might call it the light. But her loving and her kindness and her generosity – brings her…if it brings her to the same point that it brings you, it doesn’t matter whether she called it God along the way or not.”
In light of the now sacred theory of evolution and all of the people throughout history she could quote to make her case, I find it curious that she chose to cite a simian, as if to suggest primates have a better understanding of humanity than do homo sapiens.

I did, however, find it encouraging that two members of Oprah’s audience spoke up and took exception to her heretical views. It requires no small degree of faith and courage to stand up to someone so powerful and popular, while they are surrounded by adoring fans, and tell them they’re wrong.

What surprised me initially was that Harpo Productions had not edited them out of the prerecorded telecast. But then, the two ladies really only expressed an opinion, didn’t they? – A common mistake among Christians today that is not always viewed as objectionable by the secular media – especially where the consensus process is at work and the herd mentality rules.

However, had one of those women actually quoted Jesus Christ as having said, “I am they way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me,” they could have then asked Oprah, who claims to believe in Jesus, if He was lying. Unfortunately, it appeared to have been left as a mere exchange of opinions where absolute truth dissipated into the murky realm of feminized chitchat. In that type of superficial atmosphere, whomever receives the most applause, wins.

That’s consensus.

This is what happens when we endeavor to share feelings, speculation and personal experiences instead of God’s Word. In doing so, we unwittingly reduce it to just another human opinion – which plays right into the trained facilitator’s trap.

This is how biblically illiterate Christians today are gradually and carefully being led astray from true faith in Christ – even in their own churches – through their feelings and opinions – their egos and experiences – by pragmatism and consensus – always seeking Results & Relationships – a self-damning religion that has no absolute truth – no accountability and no authority figure to answer to for our actions.

What is the New Age all about?

It is the Gospel of Me – the divinity of self.

It is about setting aside the Word of God for everyone’s “felt needs” – the very thing the church growth movement and its leaders have been teaching Christians to entice the lost to church with for years.

Claiming they were schooling us on how to evangelize more effectively – they were, in reality, teaching us to set aside the Whole Counsel of God, in all its offence, and instead lure “seekers” to the great consensus we call church for processing – to share our feelings, emotions, appetites, experiences and imaginations with one another rather than God’s Word – all with a “love” that is ignorant of and apathetic toward sin and obedience – requiring nothing of participants but participation.

It’s like leading an alcoholic down the aisle on Sunday morning with a bottle of Jack Daniels and calling it repentance and faith.

If you break it all down, the New Age is, at its core, just spiritual narcissism – cloaked in charity, compassion and unity.

Remember this next time you see celebrities, authors, books, movies and commercials promoting The New Earth – The Secret – The Shift and The Moses Code.

Do you see a pattern here?

It’s about the acquisition of special powers, hidden secrets, divine knowledge, a deeper understanding and saving the world from intolerance with good deeds, good friends and good intentions. How is this different from Harry Potter?

Training, you see, begins as a child.

So, where does it all lead?

It leads to the same place Lucifer was headed when he said, in all his pride: “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God” – that wicked one who seduced Eve into taking of the forbidden fruit by telling her: “your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods.”

After all – the New Age is about discovering the divine within oneself, is it not?

In a nutshell, the New Age and its New Spirituality promises to help you find God in everyone and everything, including yourself, with or without Jesus Christ.

But unfortunately for the millions of misguided viewers and listeners tuning into Oprah for spiritual guidance, that’s not what the Bible teaches:

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” – Acts 4:12

THE PARADIGM SHIFT

THE PARADIGM SHIFT

By Betty Freauf

April 5, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

One meaning of paradigm in my Webster’s Dictionary says, “an example serving as a model: pattern: a paradigm of virtue” and for virtue it says, “conformity of one’s life and conduct to moral and ethical principles: moral excellence: rectitude.” Today, the transforming of our whole society with “change agents” has frequently been referred to as restructuring or a paradigm shift. This gradual shift has been happening in our world for the last 80 years and there is nothing virtuous about it!

One of the earlier “change agents” was Edward L. Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud, the father of modern psychology. Freud’s theories were based upon his own personal problems, most of which were sexual perversions. He saw morality as an oppressive neurosis–generating structure imposed by society and organized religion and sexual freedom as paramount for normal mental health. As the Church began to turn from basic Bible doctrine to psychology, Freud was exalted and Jesus dethroned. Jesus became “just another great man” instead of God manifested in human flesh.

Bernays and his colleagues learned how to control public opinion. He described the public as a “herd that needed to be led.” Devvy Kidd’s article “Super Tuesday” – the Herding Technique nailed it beautifully. One of Bernay’s first tests to prove that Americans would believe almost anything if it was repeated often enough was in 1929 at the New York City Easter Parade. Using the Easter Parade stunt to popularize the notion of women smoking cigarettes, Bernays organized the “Torches of Liberty Brigade” in which suffragettes marched in the Parade smoking cigarettes as a mark of women’s liberation. The article said the publicity generated from that one event made women secure about destroying their own lungs in public, the same as men have always done.

Today we are seeing a global paradigm with an emphasis on one-world government, some type of a one-world money system (the dollar is in the toilet) and a political paradigm by a charismatic, eloquent presidential candidate called Barack Obama on “Change.” His own pastor of 20 years admits to preaching liberation theology. A grand old saint and pastor, Dr. J. Vernon McGee (now deceased), says this group has a problem with the Creator destroying what He chooses, such as the Lord Jesus cursing a fig tree (Matt. 21:19) and also destroying a few (demonized) pigs (Matt. 8:30-32) and then these same hypocrites have bacon at breakfast. The contemporary liberal theologians have been stealing the true Word of God out of the hearts of people since the 1960s by preaching a false gospel.

The Schwarz Report also warned about liberation theology in its September 2005 newsletter, “There are believers who come both in secular and religious forms and they think they can take the work of salvation into their own hands. These are all liberation theologians whether they are on the left or the right, and they are extraordinarily dangerous people precisely because they think they are in some ways talking to God or doing his work and if you are doing God’s work, it would justify anything.” Its October 2005 newsletter said “Liberation Theology was the dominant fad in the 1960s and 1970s – a patchwork of ideas that claimed that the Christian obligation to care for the poor was synonymous with Marxist social dogma. Liberation Theology dressed Marxist ideas in the Christian moral lexicon, convincing gullible activists that Christ was really crypto-Marxist. The ideology swept through the religious Left like wildfire and the National Council of Churches was front and center.”[1]

Barack Obama’s 20-year affiliation with his very angry liberation theologian and spiritual adviser is troubling to me. Barack’s name might represent to many of his supporters “None of the Above” anointed two-party candidates. Many of us are disgusted with the “anointed” candidates also; however, number 22 and 31 of The Communist Takeover of America is to discredit and belittle American culture…, 25 break down cultural standards of morality..., 20 and 27 is to infiltrate the press and churches…with “social” religion…, 29 Discredit the American Constitution by calling it old-fashioned. And up until recently the mainline media (with the exception of FOX) has given Obama a free pass.

Then there is Obama’s support by the Queen of TV, New Ager Oprah Winfrey. On 9/11/1997 CBS had a recap of the life of Mike Wallace and one clip showed him asking Oprah about God. She replied, “Oh yes, I love her!” In July 2003, Oprah was the honored guest at African communist Nelson Mandela’s birthday. Robert Biano reported in a Gannett News Service article on 3/1/2008, Oprah’s “Big Give," which began on March 2, would make her “Queen for a Day” and referred to it as New Age trappings.

Then we have the spiritual paradigm with an emphasis on earth-centered and pantheistic oneness, where God dwells in all persons and that all paths lead to God. Please view this chart for clarification: Former Vice President Al Gore’s “global warming” goal is to get people to buy bicycles, to use mass transit and get rid of their cars. People without cars are limited in their movements and thereby better controlled.

For Christianity to be restructured, writes Roger Oakland in his 2007 book Faith Undone [2] a spiritual paradigm shift of magnificent strength and clever strategy would have to take place. It would have to involve all denominations (unity), and include return to the rituals discarded by Martin Luther during the Protestant Reformation. Roger illustrates how the apostate Christian churches are buying into this “Emerging Church” occult movement. This apostasy is conditioning the Church for the last days about which Jesus and Paul foretold in 1 Tim. 4:1…some shall depart…giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Pastors and the youth are being enticed into the Emerging Church Movement and its adherence to mysticism and various approaches to mystical contemplative prayer, which has taken the Church by storm. In other words, the genuine Word of God is to fit the current changing culture instead of the culture adhering to Bible principles – deeds (works) –vs- creeds (grace).

NewsWithViews.com contributor, Joan Veon, has personally attended and reported on national and international conferences for many years and she said in a 1/14/99 Wisconsin Report the first time she heard the term “paradigm shift” was at a U.N. Social Summit in Copenhagen in March, 1995, when Secretary-General Boutrous-Boutrous Ghali said that change had three steps: profound change, cosmetic change and status quo, but he was offering an alternative: constant change. An 8/22/02 Wisconsin Report told about Soviet Mikhail Gorbachev also speaking of a “new paradigm.”

The first time I heard the word paradigm was in the Oregon Legislature in 1991 when a New York transplant named Vera Katz, like Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama whose mantra is “change,” mysteriously showed up on the political radar screen nearly out of nowhere in 1973. In 1991 she began promoting her Educational Restructuring (Pavlov’s mastery learning). See my article where I note in the article that Katz, then Portland's mayor, admitted, “Oregon is a Laboratory” and was turning Portland into an “Agent of Change.”

Oregon, the most unchurched state in America, has been known in the past to allow its citizens to become guinea pigs in social “experimentations.” Oregon was quick to jump on board with the Nazi-like eugenics policies started in 1917 and currently, Oregon is the only state to approve physician-assisted suicide -- also known as euthanasia or "Death with Dignity."

It has been speculated that some people have been expected to react in a certain way when given a certain word or phrase, i.e. the Manchurian Candidate, aka as “sleepers.” Donn De Grand Pre` in his book, Barbarians Inside the Gates, says there are “mind-controlled and programmed individuals, some at the highest levels of government.” He says others are created for a single special mission, such as the assassination of a key personality or the takeout of a particularly strong presidential candidate who might be a threat to the power brokers. It should be noted President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 on June 4, 1963 that basically stripped the unconstitutional Federal Reserve of its power to loan money to the U.S. Federal government with interest. And a 7/6/1999 Los Angeles Times article indicated the infamous Unabomber, Ted Kaczyniski, worked with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the 1960s and 1970s.

A 1992 Colorado Eagle Forum article illustrated how “centering” is used to reduce stress and induce relaxation in students to enhance their ability to listen and learn. Exercises incorporated in “centering” are deep breathing exercises, muscle relaxation techniques and guided imagery (close your eyes and imagine soft clouds, calm seas, etc.) and when the teacher, in a barely audible voice, speaks the word “focus,” immediately the entire class stops what it is doing and returns to their desks. This is discipline and mind control. The Emergent Church Movement also uses this “centering” mind-altering technique.

DUSO (Developing Understanding of Self and Others) is a friendly little spirit guide who helps the children get in touch with their feelings (psychology). This program, along with the teacher’s manual, instruction sheets and audios, were made available to me from an Oregon schoolteacher in the early 1990s. The audio has soothing, running water in the background as children are instructed to “BE STILL,” empty their minds so they can get in touch with their spirit guide, which the Bible calls a demon. Is this the reason, plus prescribed antidepressant drugs, why many young kids and adults today have suddenly turned into inexplicable monsters?

In Clay County, Florida in 1992, children were being introduced to PUMSY, a dragon hand puppet, who told the children they had three parts to their minds: “Their sparkle minds, their mud minds and their clear minds (a meditative state)...and that their peace came from a clear mind.” One astute little boy raised by Christian parents went home and told his mother “Something weird is going on at school and you aren’t going to like it.” He said he knew it wasn’t right what PUMSY was telling him because he got his peace from God. This little guy had far more discernment than many pastors on pulpits today and other religious leaders who are deceiving congregations with their New Age nonsense in the Emergent Church Growth Movement.

I wrote an article called Moronic Convergence on October 12, 2004 that should be read again.

On July 7, 2007, all over the world people gathered again to meditate and give their “energy” back to Mother Earth, which the New Agers claim has been depleted. Apparently “Mother Earth” is experiencing birth pains. And then we have Earth Day every April!Debra Rae has more to say about this in Worldview on Trial.

“Paradigm shifts of this magnitude don’t happen without opposition so to minimize the conflict,” says Berit Kjos, author of the book Brave New Schools, and “U.N leaders and local partners seek the consent of the gullible public (remember Bernay) ‘informed’ with the latest government approved ‘scientific information.’” Disseminating this information involves “Change Agents” in professional and civic organizations, school boards to corporate and church boards, the military, law enforcement, athletic associations, entertainment, governmental agencies and youth organizations which means the old, reliable paradigm of national sovereignty, traditional and Biblical values and long established Constitutional mandates must be transformed while the true goals and methods remain hidden from opposing forces. Like the men of Sodom who were blinded by the angels because of their unbridled lust, and experienced the fiery wrath of God without the ability to see it, such are the vast populations of the nations at this time.[3]

UNBRAINWASH YOURSELF

UNBRAINWASH YOURSELF

by Alan Stang
April 3, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

Again and again in these columns I have respectfully reminded you that the main reason this country is now on its knees is the communist government schools. We could not have arrived at the end of the plank had not those schools cooked our brains from the beginning. The communist media left and right – from the Communist Broadcasting System and the Communist News Network to Loopy Laura and Limbag – would not be enough. It could not have been done without the communist schools.

That is why the schools want ever younger victims. Consider that the most important time you hear about something is the first time, because the first time you have nothing to compare it to. You can’t criticize it; you can’t evaluate it. So what you hear the first time sinks into your mind and becomes the matrix, the mold. It becomes “true.” From then on, everything you hear about that particular subject is filtered through that matrix and you have no way of knowing if that matrix is faulty.

From then on, you will reject the truth because it will sound alien compared to what you “know.” So it all depends on who gets there first. If I am 40, or 50 or whatever years old, and you tell me something I don’t know, I compare it to what I do. If I am five years old, I believe whatever the nice lady my parents park me with says. If the only thing I hear for the next thirteen years is what she says – if I never hear anything else – I regard anything contradictory as crazy.

Thus, if I have heard for thirteen years, or seventeen years if I go to college, that the white man is responsible for every problem from asthma to xenophobia, and that anyone who says anything else is a “racist,” I tend to believe it when you show up and say that. If the only thing I’ve ever heard is that Lincoln was sent by God to save the Union and free the slaves, I consider you a nut when you say Lincoln was our first Communist President, that he destroyed the Union and that he wanted to send the nation’s blacks back to Africa.

The same thing applies to any assertion that the federal government is not here to help you, that the Fed arranged the Great Depression, that FDR arranged Pearl Harbor, that federal welfare destroyed the black family, that Washington colluded in Nine Eleven, and on and on. Of course, these things are intangibles. You can’t see the Great Depression; you must dig out the real history to see what really happened.

The real brainwashing hits when you are told that the truth is different from what you see every day, e.g., when you are told that men and women are the “same” (except that women should run things) and that sodomite buggery is “normal.” The purpose of the Communist media is to reinforce what you have been told, in case, despite these elaborate precautions, you accidentally blunder into the truth.

The Germans call what we are talking about the “zeitgeist,” the “spirit of the time,” but that doesn’t quite do the trick. For want of something better, I have elected to call it the Abasement Matrix. We don’t know it is there, but everything we experience – everything we do – is filtered through it, and it is the reason we are losing. It answers the question of how the conspiracy for world government gets away with such outrages, every one more egregious. The reason is we allow it; we allow it and applaud it.

Again, the obvious solution to all this is to remove your kiddos from the Communist government schools. You still can do this and as soon as you do it you will experience the thrill of an enormous victory. You have just saved another victim from the monster. You are a Twenty First Century Scarlet Pimpernel. As long as you leave a child in the clutches of the monster, anything you think you are doing to fight it is an ineffectual joke. Yes, I know it can be difficult. We home-schooled all five and as I write not one is in jail.

The reason all this again comes to mind is that as the Republican National Convention approaches, patriots are being told as usual how to behave. Make nice, we are told. Play fair. No cheating. Honor. Don’t try to change the rules. Do as you are told, our way. Elect Republicans. Any disunity could help Hillary and Hussein. And by the way, there is no such candidate as Dr. Ron No Such Candidate Paul. Who?

Except that the people who tell us this are the same people who changed the rules to steal the 1952 nomination for Eisenhower from Taft. Robert Taft was “Mr. Republican,” while Eisenhower only a few months earlier had confirmed that he was not a Democrat. They are the same people – putative Republicans – who sabotaged Barry Goldwater in 1964; who routinely squelch any “conservative” eruption.

Here is an ethical question: If a guy steps out of an alley and sticks a gun in your ribs, do ethics require you to treat him fairly? Here’s another: You are downstairs in the living room reading scripture, when someone breaks in and you realize he is the same man you just saw on television described as an escaped serial rapist. The man asks where your daughter is and she is upstairs. What do you tell him?

The answer is that, holding the Bible in both hands, you lie. You say your daughter is visiting her grandmother in Schenectady. You took her to the airport. You just got back. She won’t return for a couple of weeks, but he’s welcome to wait. You keep lying, and if you get the chance you rack the old Widow Maker in the corner and blow him away. Why do you do that?

One of the things the Founding Fathers explained is that the system of government they were leaving us could only work among a people mature enough, responsible enough, to obey the rules, the Christian rules. Immature, irresponsible people cancel the rules. If they do that, the mature, responsible people who remain no longer are required to obey.

Well, what kind of people are we talking about? What kind of people run the Republican Party? First, remember that they are the same kind of people who run the Democrats. They are part of the same totalitarian cabal at the top. They are “different” in the same way Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Al Capone, Mao Tse-tung and Meyer Lansky were “different.” I am not talking about the people you see at the local Republican Club. I am talking about the people you don’t see – or see only at a distance or on television – at the very top.

What have these people done? They have blithely tricked us into one war after another for more than a century, starting with Lincoln’s Communist War to Destroy the Union. They couldn’t care less who and how many are killed and maimed on whichever side. Indeed, they routinely finance and support both sides, to keep the wars going as long as they can, because the longer you fight, the more wealth and power they collect.

For instance, the more you know about World War I, and about the jejune European rulers who fomented it, the more you realize that Washington’s intervention was one of the most preposterous decisions every made. The conspirators created Soviet Russia, Hitler Germany, Red China, Castro Cuba and the Iran we are getting ready to bomb. Without their intervention, none of these things would ever have amounted to more than historical footnotes at the bottom of a page.

They extort and swindle and regulate and socialize, to collect more wealth and more power. It was Alan Greenscum’s Fed that got us into the present financial mess; now, el presidente Jorge W. Boosh proposes “solving” the mess by giving the Fed even more power, and Greenscum, still not in jail, is telling Middle East sheikhs to dump the dollar in favor of the Euro.

If you go to any U.S. Marine base, you will hear the name of Smedley Butler. There, Butler is as close to divine as a man can get without being God Himself. General Butler was awarded not one, but two Medals of Honor. Most Marines don’t know that Butler later wrote a book, War Is a Racket, in which he explained his new understanding that Washington had sent his beloved Marines around the world on behalf of huge international corporations.

Hugh Hewitt is a radio neo-con (man). Recently, thinking of that book, Blewitt actually said that General Butler became “un-American.” Wouldn’t you love to hear him say that at Pendleton? Americanism to Hugh Blewitt means militarism, means making imperial war on the world, poking our nose into everyone else’s business abroad and regimentation at home.

The Monsanto monster is poisoning your food. Big Pharma has almost succeeded in making vitamins illegal. In preparation for the discontent to come, Washington is imposing a fascist dictatorship here – rule by monster corporation – complete with concentration camps that would drive the torturers in Orwell’s 1984 livid with jealousy, furious that they did not have today’s technology that makes it possible. Soon, you will need a Real ID to go to the ladies’ room, while illegal aliens roam the nation unchecked. Remember that Boosh is running the invasion.

So, again, what kind of people are we talking about? They are psychopaths. A psychopath is distinguished from normal people in that he – or she – has no moral sense, no conscience. A psychopath is incapable of experiencing embarrassment or shame. You may never have met one because they are only a handful; if there were any more than a few, civilization would be impossible. It would be replaced by a landscape ruled by ravening wolves. They are paradoxically brilliant and immensely attractive, “magnetic” personalities.

The lawmen tell us we shall never know how many women utterly charming Ted Bundy killed. They nailed him for some thirty, but women disappear all the time and are never seen again. Undoubtedly, he did some of them, but he fried still not talking. Stalin is reputed to have said, maybe apocryphally, that the greatest joy in life is befriending a man until he trusts you completely, and then sticking a knife in his ribs.

Now look at Hillary Clinton, not at all in the spirit of partisanship. She is just a recent, good example. She lies all the time, even when she doesn’t need to. She is a compulsive liar. You can’t even believe her name. She lied about it, saying she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary. Remember? Recently, she clearly remembered running for cover under intense sniper fire in the Balkans, where Rapist-in-Chief Bill sent her because he always sent the First Feminoid where the danger was greatest.

You and I wouldn’t tell such a whopper to start with; but, if we had, we would be mortified when caught, eaten up with shame. Remember the First Feminoid’s response when this latest lie was exposed, this time on videotape by the correspondent who was there? Yeah, I misspoke. You caught me. Ha, ha. Well on to the next prevarication. Isn’t politics fun?

Wasn’t that in effect what she said? I am not the first observer to say that you can’t embarrass the Clintons. You couldn’t embarrass Hillary if you videotaped her naked straddling Janet Reno at a bull dyke convention. You couldn’t embarrass Bill if you caught him servicing a sow in a hog wallow. And Jorge W. Boosh likewise is apparently incapable of shame, enthusiastically talking patriotism while he leads the illegal alien invasion.

So, let’s see, while these traitors are robbing, swindling, killing, maiming, enslaving and betraying us, we are supposed to be well-behaved little boys and girls and make nice, because anything else would be rude. We are supposed to defer to the bull dyke revolution and confirm the feminization that is destroying our civilization. Do I understand?

Remember, I am not talking about ordinary venality, not about wanting the imagined prestige of political jobs. I’m talking about people who worship the Republican Party, who secretly imagine it will still be here when everything else collapses, when the Southwest is again Mexican, there is a mosque on every corner in New England and the United States has been dissolved. I’m talking about the people at the top, colder than absolute zero, who couldn’t care less about all this as long as the money rolls in.

Remember also that there is only one way to stop a striking rattler.

"It is the system of nationalist individualism that has to go...We are living in the end of the sovereign states...In the great struggle to evoke a Westernized World Socialism, contemporary governments may vanish...Countless people...will hate the new world order...and will die protesting against it." -- H.G. Wells

"I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur

For in one hour so great riches is come to naught. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, what city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! For in one hour is she made desolate.

A great and unremitting plague has rolled over this nation and plunged the entirety of the people into a muddy roil of dark perversions, the mass of which moves inexorably to a great vortex, the portal to a final climactic apocalyptic Dantesque plunge into an infernal region of dark and demonic design.

The plague that has this nation in its clutch is no less possessing of the predetermining of our fate than were the great infectious plagues that swept the far flung regions of the classical world and decimated the peoples thereof and altered drastically or obliterated entirely the commonwealths of those times The forces that are upon this nation are no less capable, and no less deadly or insidious than the rat and flea channeled bacterium that ravaged and destroyed these anteceding cultures, the only difference is that our disease is of a social and political character rather than a biological kind. Our sickness, which is now systemic and of a terminal type, has been caused not by an aberration of nature, but by the cunning and deliberate intrigues of tyrannical reprobates who now control absolutely a once self-directed people.

The truth of the matter is that these satanic disciples mimic the previously referred to life destroying pathogens in very distinctive ways; possessed of morphological faculties that allow them to ever evolve destructive techniques and develop defenses against that which threatens their inimical goals they never lose their identity as a product of the dark world or to the author of their existence, the evil one.

That these pernicious and pestilential agents for a new Babel have brought this nation to terminal stages is observable and indisputable. This is a dooms day article, the signs and symptoms of the absolute demise of this once sovereign nation are upon us to the point that one can hear the death rattle and smell the moldering decay.

Bacteria often evolve unique defenses against the agent substances produced by a body’s immune system that allows them to produce counter agents, which mimic the characteristics of these substances and turn them to their own use to assist in the destruction of the host. Such scurrilous and treacherous allies likewise assist and protect the political and social malefactors that attack the constitutional foundation of our Republic and the supposedly inalienable rights of the people, if we have learned nothing else we have learned that nothing in regard to the rights of the people is inalienable. These protectors of the sinister agents for a socialistic world order of the devils concept have infiltrated every institution of our government, our social institutions and our judiciary, but the most baneful of these inhabit the fourth estate.

We are in the manic throes of a campaign for the presidency of the nation, the mechanics of which are being carried out under the auspices of our two venal national political parties. The stench emanating from the putrescence of the political system assails our senses with a stink remindful of rotten mackerel. It appears at times that almost the entirety of the political systems on all levels of government in the country are inhabited by pimps, thieves, perverts, and deviants. Stories of the hiring of five thousand dollar per hour - a seeming bargain given the worthlessness of the dollar - prostitutes, the acceptance of bribes and payoffs, homosexual liaisons, and the misuse and theft of taxpayer monies abound. Those who are caught in such reprehensible and frequently felonious actions are most often defended, excused and allowed to escape prosecution by slinking off into anonymity for a while only to reappear to re-infect the system is a new different and artful semblance.

From this political cesspit we have winnowed the number of candidates down to three who are hardly distinguishable from one another in regard to destructive qualities and obsequiousness to the socialist advocates for our destruction and for a godless one-world society. They are perhaps the most morally corrupt candidates in our history. All three have proven to be inveterate liars; the truth is absolutely not in them. It seems that they would lie if the truth sounded better. All three have been culled from a political body that has done more to rend the fabric of the nation and destroy the moral fiber thereof than perhaps any other institution of government, though it would be a tight race indeed between the Senate and the George W. Bush administration. These have worked in tandem to bankrupt the nation, destroy the dollar, annihilate the constitution and litter the landscape with the corpses of individual freedoms, as they have littered the landscape of foreign nations with the corpses of civilians - old men, women and children - in undeclared and unconstitutional wars.

Surely, you might be thinking to yourself, we have at least a few worthy and unassailable individuals who would serve this nation honorably and lift us from the depths of national degeneracy. We do, but our political bacterium have evolved and raised up an insurmountable number of those mock agents, previously referred to, so as to overwhelm true statesmen and render them incapable of saving the host, which in this case is the nation. No pathogen ever produced a counterfeit factor as maliciously clever, devastatingly surreptitious and cunningly successful as these.

Witness the absolutely vile and condemnable destruction of the only honorable candidate to grace the political scene in this election cycle, Ron Paul. Too cowardly to engage him in honest and legitimate debate, too affrighted by his honesty and the absolute truthfulness of his message and too ashamed to have the public contrast his moral superiority to their debased hand selected candidates these jackals resorted to every under-handed, sleazy, foul and contemptible tactic imaginable, plus some that were unimaginable, to destroy his candidacy. In the event that the reader might be in doubt as to the identity of these ignominious miscreants, let it be known that I am addressing those benighted denizens of the two national political parties and of the national media.

Before we, as a people, start congratulating ourselves as to our own moral superiority let us consider that the people of this nation are collectively immorally willful, slothful, degenerate, hedonistic, spiritually debased, and reprehensively inclined to dishonesty. When we add to that mix abject stupidity – one in five Americans believes that the Sun revolves around the Earth – one can understand how and why degenerate politicians come to public office, they simply mirror the society that produced them.

Only Almighty God could save this nation from the onrushing calamity that is soon to overtake it, and since our people now have no sense of humility and show no sign of repentance our time is short and our end is predictable and inevitable. Given the delusion that is upon the people one can imagine that they will be surprised when the thunders falls upon them.

Going the way of Rome

Going the way of Rome
Exclusive: Joseph Farah warns power of state surges while power of people languishes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Joseph Farah

"The budget should be balanced. Public spending should be reduced. The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered, and assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt."

– Marcus Tulius Cicero 45 B.C.

Not long after making the prophetic proclamation above, Marcus Tulius Cicero, a Roman senator, was assassinated.

It's not always easy telling the hard truths.

It's not always safe.

It's not always profitable.

But tell them we must.

They say those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I believe the U.S. is slouching toward Rome – and a Cicero is nowhere to be found.

Where are we today compared to the empire that lasted 500 years?

National debt: $10 trillion
U.S. federal budget over $3 trillion. That's 50 percent higher than it was in 2000.
Trade deficit: $58 billion
No meaningful borders, with record immigration levels and no chance for assimilation
Total breakdown of education system
No common faith or unifying moral principles that bind the nation together
Even age-old institutions like marriage and parenthood are being redefined
In a time of relative peace, our military forces are stationed in more than 100 foreign nations
And now America finds itself in an election year in which there are plenty of Mark Antonys but no Ciceros – no wise old voices of reason, common sense and good judgment.

The power of the state is on the rise, and the power of the people is on the decline.

We have our own versions of the Colosseum, albeit somewhat more humane. The American people are kept distracted by bread and circuses – NASCAR, the NFL, "American Idol."

Votes are being purchased by foolish promises of free health care and nebulous pledges of "change" and "hope."

There isn't much to believe in any more, so politicians invent new religions – like "global warming." If only we pay our tithes in "carbon credits," the gods of climate change will be merciful to us, we are assured. But if we do not reach deep into our pockets now and make sacrificial offerings, doom will be upon us all in the coming decades.

This was the nation that gave the world the concepts of self-government, removing the shackles from the people and placing them on the government, individual rights as unalienable gifts from God.

This was the nation that welcomed and rewarded personal achievement – recognizing that it was a blessing not just to the one honored, but to all.

Today the highest virtues are little more than meaningless, empty words – "tolerance," "diversity," "pluralism," "multiculturalism."

There is no right and no wrong. Up is down, black is white, left is right.

It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world – except for Jesus.

Who would have believed the greatest and longest-lasting experiment in freedom and self-government would end like this?

Who would have believed a nation that raised up so many great minds of politics, science, business and philosophy could be so easily led astray?

Who would have believed a nation built of sacrifice and honor would give up its birthright for a mess of pottage?

Do I sound a tad pessimistic?

I believe I have every reason to play that note.

Yet, because I am an American, I remain hopeful our nation's better angels will yet prevail.

There's a remnant out there who will understand every word I write. It is in them my hope is kindled. It is in them – and the One they serve.

Warning: Trade deficit may trigger depression

Warning: Trade deficit may trigger depression
Economists: It's de-industrializing America,
leading nation toward 2nd-rate power status

WorldNetDaily

WASHINGTON – America is selling its birthright not for a mess of pottage, but for a mess of Chinese junk, and the resulting "unsustainable" trade deficit is leading "to the collapse of the dollar, depression and conversion of the United States to a second-rate power," says a new book written by three generations of a family of economists.

"Not only will the United States feel the pain, but other countries will as well," write Raymond, Howard and Jesse Richman in "Trading Away Our Future." "Because other countries are dependent upon the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency and because they are dependent on exports to the United States to sustain their own economies, the eventual collapse of the dollar could wreak havoc on the economies of the whole world."

While some other economists have claimed there is no danger from a trade deficit that has reached nearly $60 billion, and some have even suggested they represent a blessing for Americans, the authors strongly disagree.

"A basic principle of economics is that there is no free lunch," they write. "Those who think that the Chinese, Japanese, Saudis, et al, are giving the United States a free lunch when they sell more than they buy are engaged in short term thinking that ignores huge long term costs."

The book is released at a time when more Americans are searching for answers about the stumbling state of the economy – with the dollar declining, foreclosures rising and credit tightening.

The Richmans tie the growing trade deficit to the "de-industrialization" of America.

"The financial flows that sustained these deficits did not go to expand the U.S. capital stock – they mostly financed consumption of foreign goods," they explain. "Japan and China and other Pacific Rim nations stole industry after industry from the United States. America's manufacturing investment declined so much that by 2004 and 2005, net investment in American manufacturing actually went into negative territory, meaning that U.S. manufacturers were not even investing enough to replace wearing out machinery and plants. The U.S. manufacturing workforce declined steadily, so that by 2007 over a fifth of the U.S. manufacturing jobs that would have existed given balanced trade had been lost. Those losing their manufacturing jobs often took less skilled jobs in the service sector, causing media wages to stagnate. In 2007, the United States was in a much weaker position to compete in world markets and the dollar had nowhere to go but down."

It's not just a lack of foresight by American policy makers that has created the problem, the authors write. It is also a conscious policy of some foreign countries to practice neo-mercantilism – with the U.S. as the target.

"Beginning in the late 1990s, China copied the policy that had converted Japan from a weak and backward economy to a world powerhouse," they say. "In recent years, more and more countries have been joining the bandwagon, with the United States as their primary target. They have been accumulating dollar assets in order to manipulate currency values and preserve the conditions that produce trade surpluses for them and trade deficits for us."

Adding to the problem, the authors write, was the emergence of a blind ideological commitment across the American political spectrum to "free trade" that really wasn't free at all.

"As advocates of free markets, we generally approve of relying on the free play of market forces to provide the highest level of welfare for Americans," they write. "But we discovered that free trade, normally beneficial, had become an ideology blinding the United States establishment from seeing key causes of the trade deficits and their disastrous consequences. The trade deficits are sustained by government policies, both U.S. government tax policies and foreign government mercantilist policies, not by the free play of market forces."

The authors believe the situation can still be reversed, preserving American dominance of the world economy.

"If not, then resolutely non-democratic China will dominate," they say. "The world's future is in the balance."

If you have been listening to the news you know that once again we see Syria building up their armed forces on our northern border. This is the largest military build up they have ever made. It is also known that Russia and Iran have supplied them with many advanced missiles capable for reaching all parts of Israel. At the same time Hezbollah has been very busy rebuilding their missile base under the watchful eye of the UN troops who at times have been known to even assist. Russia, Iran and North Korea have made sure that Hezbollah has longer range missiles in order to reach much deeper into Israel (Tel-Aviv) in this coming war.

Next week Israel will hold its largest ever nation wide simulated missile attack drill, it will continue from Sunday through Thursday. School children from Kindergarten through the 12th grade will be involved. Everyone in Israel should be advised as to where they need to run in the event of a surprise attack.

Once again we hear the IDF will be testing the Arrow anti-missile Missile to see it is capable of intercepting the Iranian Shihab 3 missile. A Black Sparrow missile will be fired off the coast over the Mediterranean Sea from an IAF fighter Jet and will have all the characteristics of a Shihab 3. This brings something to mind, some friends of ours living in Cyprus by chance witnessed the interception of a similar test last year while setting on their roof. At the time they had no idea what was happening.

Things certainly are not looking good around here and what I am about to write is simply my take on this build up of arms and what is about to happen not only here but possibly in the US as well. Please keep in mind this is my opinion from the way I see things developing. There are other possible scenarios but one thing is certain we are now being directed by the powers to be to watch smoke screens and other diversions. That is not to say that what is happening and about to happen in the Middle East (Namely Israel) isn’t real but the plans to take out the US is far more important to Russia and the Islamic world than that of Israel. Israel is on the top of the list of importance by the Devil who plans on setting up his seat on the Temple Mount.

For those who think that the Russian Bear has been declawed are terribly mistaken and Putin is still in power and has only one thing in mind and that is revenge and to become the worlds only Super Power. If we look around all the nuclear plants Russian is building are in the nations that hate and want to destroy Israel and the US. They arm the enemies of Israel and the US with high tech missile and bombs. They feel that once again they have Syria and Iran as well as Hezbollah with the needed advantage to take Israel out this time with the added assistance of Hamas that has been rearmed with heavy weaponry. But Russia thought they had given enough to Syria, Jordan, and Egypt in 67, 73 and again in 82 and failed as they will once again. This of course brings on the necessary battle of Armageddon that is in the not so distance future where Russia will lead the charge only to come face to face with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

It is no secret that Russia has several nuclear submarines off both coast of the US capable to taking out any US city at will. They are now flying there nuclear bombers over Alaska’s border and forever testing the US will to stop them. The US 5th and 6th fleets are getting regular low level fly over by Russian Bombers.

The global Islamic threat as serious as it is plays right into the hands of the Russian plan. You see unlike the US and Israel the Russians will not hesitate to solve that problem when they need to but for the time being it is the diversion they need to prepare for their attack.

Many believe the Russians will send nuclear missiles across the US, that will not happen, what will happen are a few large cities like New York, L.A. possibly a few others and then they will simply tell the White House to surrender or else face total destruction of the whole country. The US will at that time be faced with surrender or total global destruction by all out global nuclear war. Not a nice picture I know this picture is not complete I am sure. For the Illuminati and others realize that with 6+ BILLION world population and promising to increase by at least 50% in the coming years there is not enough food supplies not to mention energy to sustain such a global population. We read in the Word of God Zechariah 13:8 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, IN ALL THE LAND, SAITH THE LORD, TWO PARTS THEREIN SHALL BE CUT OFF AND DIE; BUT THE THIRD PART SHALL BE LEFT THEREIN. That is as straight to the point as God can possibly put it. Today we are seeing how all this has been arranged to happen.

In short what we are about to witness (those who overcome or somehow survive) is the stage being set for the appearance of the anti-Christ. This event will once again be directed right back here in Israel as he will set up his base of power on the Temple Mount, it is at that time we will start the 7 year countdown (3 ½ and 3 ½). It is at this time we will witness the return of the Messiah Zechariah 14:4. What I am putting forth here is a blanket overview not a complete picture of future events for many thousands of events will occur during this scenario and thousands of false Prophets will be heard across the land and they will deceive many but not the very Elect of God.

It is obvious to me that many will reject this report, and I understand why most people want to eat pie in the sky and escape all the horror that is soon to be upon us, but they best begin to prepare first by getting as close to Yeshua as possible in all areas of their life and bring there family as well. Those Pastors who will not preach the truth and still cling to the deception of total escape will have to answer to an angry God for they were hirelings and not Pastors.

We are asked what will happen to this Ministry in all of this, the answer is simple we will continue being obedient to God’s call and we will assist in bringing God’s chosen back to the Land He promise them and His Word will come to pass Isa. 11:11.

There are so many other things that could be added to this report, such as the decline of the dollar and the Bush Plan to bring in the North American currency. China’s possible calling in their debt in the US causing the US to go bankrupt. Or Russia, Venezuela, Iran and possible OPEC to begin selling oil for Euros instead of dollars making the dollar without any backing.

But there is one result that many will or are not too concerned with right now, and that is the blame for all of this will once again be placed on the backs of the Jews, and another holocaust will occur this time on a global bases. Jews will be running for their lives not only in Europe but throughout the world. God is speaking to many of us to be ready to save as many Jewish lives as we possible can, I pray if you are being touched by God that you will be obedient for much depends on your obedience.

We are soon to complete the transaction for the second larger boat. Don’t be surprised if I start trying to find another one. In fact what we really need is a much larger one like this one.

But one like this cost several million dollars but could carry a thousand at a time. It would take a full time Captain and crew, most of which would all be Christian volunteers. Lets allow ourselves to believe God for greater things and to allow us to save many more Jewish lives.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF, pray for this Ministry and your part in it.
