Here comes the flood
Posted on Tuesday 5 May 2009
As 2009 get seriously underway, the world is ganging up on Israel more than ever before.

Like a flood foaming furiously behind a massive logjam, the river of “new” antisemitism that expresses itself in anti-Israel enmity has been gathering strength for years.

Unleashed, it has the potential to pulverize the “pestilence” that is the Jewish state.

Until just a few months ago one “key log” – the United States of America – had been holding it back.

Wielding its veto in the Security Council, the US repeatedly resisted the relentless campaign that for years demonized and sought to delegitimize Israel.

But now, 100 plus days into Barack Obama’s presidency, numerous reports and leaks assessing his planned approach to the Middle East indicate the blockage is to be removed.

There is mounting evidence that the new administration has resolved to see the biblical and historical Land of Israel divided between Jew and Arab on its watch.

It has made this decision knowing full well the unjustness of it (these are Jewish lands); the peril of it (to Israel’s existence); the bankruptcy of it (from Madrid to Annapolis, 18 years of the land-for-peace process have been 18 years of failure).

Israel will not be allowed to stand in the way; her concerns will not be given the time of day.

“The two state solution is the only solution,” emphatically stated Jewish turncoat and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel Sunday.

“Israel has to back the two state solution,” said Vice President Joe Biden Tuesday.

A few days earlier Obama’s national security adviser, General James Jones, told a European foreign minister a week ago Obama plans to be “forceful” with Israel.

“The new administration will convince Israel to compromise on the Palestinian question … we will be more forceful toward Israel than we have been under Bush.”

According to Ha’aretz, Jones is quoted as saying that the United States, European Union and moderate Arab states must redefine “a satisfactory endgame solution.”

Jones “did not mention Israel as party to these consultations.”

Former US House speaker Newt Gingrich has blasted the Obama administration for setting itself on a collision course with Israel and endangering the Jewish state.

“They are systematically setting up the most decisive confrontation that we’ve ever seen,” the leading Republican politician told The Jerusalem Post.

“There’s almost an eagerness to take on the Israeli government to make a point with the Arab world.”

The “New America”, it seems, isn’t even looking for a fig leaf to cover its nakedness. It plans to flaunt it.

The Israeli news site DEBKAfile this week gloomily analyzed the upcoming meeting between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Netanyahu can expect the full force of a bludgeon to be wielded in his White House talks on May 18,” it said.

The Israeli leader can expect to “find administration officials deaf not only on Israel’s arguments on the Palestinian issue but on a nuclear-armed Iran too. [He] will see the US president no longer prioritizing the suspension of Iran’s nuclear aspirations, but bent on establishing a new Persian Gulf order that formalizes Iran’s rising power. Washington’s objective now is negotiations for setting the boundaries of Iran’s Middle East expansion and limits for its nuclear program.

“Israel will have no say in this process. In fact, by elevating Iran to premier regional power, America is sidelining its longstanding friends, Israel and Egypt, and setting aside their security and strategic interests for the sake of deals with Iran.”

Dennis Ross, US envoy for Iran, last week carried this message to the capitals of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, DEBKAfile reports.

A State Department team, the service continues, “is working overtime on a new American ‘road map’ [that] starts out with pressure on Israel to freeze settlement activity on the West Bank (sic) and construction in east[ern] Jerusalem.

“At a later stage, Israel would be pushed to abandon large sections of the West Bank, remove authorized communities as well as unauthorized outposts and hand over the historic nucleus of Jerusalem.

“Finally, the Israeli government would be required to accept an independent Palestinian state, even if its government is dominated by the rejectionist terrorist group Hamas.”

DEBKAfile’s Washington sources report that Obama “is fired up to be the first US president in decades of close friendship and cooperation to clash openly with Israel…”

Obama is expected “to squeeze the Netanyahu government hard for immediate engagement on the Middle East conflict without further delay … the White House staff is working at top speed on options for imposing its will.”

Eighteen years ago, Israel seemed to bottom out at a new low in world opinion.

The little country’s reputation had been on a steady, if gradual, decline since the Yom Kippur War. What sympathy was generated by that surprise assault, which nearly succeeded in obliterating Israel, had been well eroded by the outbreak of the First Intifada.

By its end, and specifically by 1991, there was no sympathy to be found.

Also by then, the worldwide admiration at the plucky nation’s victories in both that conflict and the preceding, Six Day, war – had long evaporated, to be replaced by a near-universal loathing.

The Arab-loving media had successfully primed the nations – which as history amply evidences, has an inbuilt proclivity to abhor Jewish people – to likewise loathe the Jewish state.

Come 1991 in Madrid, to which Israel was dragged for the staged – blatantly biased – “International Middle East Peace Conference,” this prejudice came strongly to a head.

Vicious then, it has only grown worse. During the last eight years, the Bush administration – with sporadic, restricted and conditional support from a handful of other nations, and despite leading the diplomatic charge – still alone withstood this trend.

That respite, it seems, is now over.
Global Economic Crisis; Demise of Evangelical gods of Money and Power
By Kato Mivule | May 4, 2009

As the world continues to reel back and forth in this current global economic crisis with no end in sight but only amplified by the ‘Swine Flu’ Pandemic, undercurrents in the global evangelical community are sweeping against the gods of Mammon and Political Power that have so much been idolized in the Westernized Christian Church.

The Fatal Love of Money and Political Power…
Much of the current global economic woes we currently face are a direct result of greed, self-indulgence, control, and manipulation, vices that the Westernized Church fell victim to. If part of the Westernized Church was not compromised by the Love of Money, she then fell for the Love of Political Power.

In as much as the current economic correction has come to the secular world, The Lord in His Providence has allowed this current global economic crisis to affect His Church so as to ‘strike’ at the gods of Mammon and Political Power inside Christendom.

Oblivion to the undercurrents…
Yet when one listens to many preachers and pastors on pulpits today, it seems that they are oblivious to what is going on and they continue preaching prosperity and agitating for ‘Christian Conservative Governmental Rule’, deliberately ignoring the fact that the rug is being pulled out from underneath them.

By a ‘Name it and Claim it’ faith, the ‘Prosperity Money Lovers’ continue to preach prosperity and more materialism, championed by the likes of Creflo Dollar and the Trinity Broadcasting Network – TBN group. Yet on the other end are the Dr. James Dobson and the champions of Political Christianity who seek to take Liberal Governments back onto a path of Conservative Christian Theocratic Rule.

On his recent Focus on the Family Radio Programs, Dr. James Dobson has been lamenting how he has such a “heavy heart” because of what the current ‘Liberals’ are doing both in Congress, Senate, and the White House – of course in reference to Barrack Obama and his support for Gays and Abortion rights.

However, Dr. James Dobson had better take care of himself because the ‘heaviness of heart’ is not going to subside any time soon but only increase to a point where Evangelical Christians will be placed in their rightful place as a minority rather than a self-claimed majority in the American society – which has been a place of presumption, arrogance, and wishful thinking by Political Evangelical Christians in America.

Yet Dr. James Dobson would better serve the Body of Christ by simply placing ‘Focus on the Family’ rather than steer the church towards Political Christian posturing in hopes that America will become a “Christian Nation” again. For the god of Political Evangelical Power has been overthrown.

Better still, Dr. James Dobson could still borrow a leaf from Paul the apostle in his letter to the Christians in Rome who where a minority in Rome and lived under Roman dictatorship, being persecuted and killed for their faith in Jesus Christ. Paul wrote to the Christian in Rome about how to self conduct in a secular society and not how to ‘overthrow’ secular governments and install Christian Theocratic Rule.

Tides beating against Westernized Church won’t subside…
The current Social and Economic tides beating against the Westernized Church are not going to subside but only increase with intensity until the day Jesus Christ comes back in the clouds with all His Glory. The days of Political Evangelical Christianity are gone, the days of Christian Prosperity Gospel are gone, and those who still fight for and hope for Material Christian Prosperity and Political Christianity are only seeing a mirage in the desert.

In the America, the days of Republican Politicians ‘even’ using Evangelical Christians for political gain are gone; Evangelical Christians are increasingly seen as a political liability. The Gospel of Prosperity has been dealt a death blow by the current economic crisis. Many churches are being foreclosed and other on the verge of being foreclosed because they cannot keep up with mortgage payments on the Million Dollar Loans they took to construct the Mega Church Complexes.

The Lord is using the current economic crisis to knock down all the gods of Mammon and Political Power in His Church. I believe that the days of the Mega Church Prosperity Gospel and Political Evangelical Christianity are over. Recent Press reports in the USA show that a number of churches are being foreclosed, unable to pay their mortgages due to the rising unemployment among believers after Churches borrowed a whooping six Billion US Dollars for Church construction projects…

“Lenders specializing in church properties are reporting rising rates of delinquency and foreclosure, but at least one pastor thinks that may mean good news for the Kingdom. In December 2008, the Wall Street Journal reported Evangelical Christian Credit Union of Brea, Calif. moved to foreclosure on seven of its 2,000 member churches in 2008 and expects to take similar action on two more this year. And, another church lender, Church Mortgage Loan Corp. of Maitland, Fla., filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008 after being unable to sell the 10 church properties it had foreclosed on in recent years. While churches have long been considered good credit risks, borrowing for church construction jumped from $3.8 billion in 1997 to $6.2 billion in 2007. Now, as construction financing dries up and collections dwindle, many congregations find themselves without places to worship…”
Christian Newswire, April 30, 2009; Orange County Church Sees Silver Lining in Rise of Church Foreclosures
http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/110410236.html

Even more theatrical is that members of the foreclosed Churches are oblivious to what is going one, only to find locks on their houses of worship and see Church buildings auctioned off…

“The red brick St. Andrews Anglican Church in wealthy Easton, Maryland, was known for its open door. It hosted family movie nights, and weekend spaghetti dinners. Most people had no idea anything was amiss, until the bank took the key, and the church building was foreclosed and sold at auction…”
IPS NEWS, April 14, 2009: ECONOMY-US: Foreclosing on God
http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=46497

Still among wealthy US neighborhoods in Maryland, the god of Mammon is being knocked down to the ground that the affluent of American society cannot sustain the Mega Church Growth delicacies of Westernized Christianity.

Repercussions in Africa…
What do these events mean for the Brethren in Uganda, Africa? Will the Prosperity and Political Christian Movement, a foster child of Westernized Christianity survive the overthrow of the gods of Money and Power in Evangelical Christianity?

Of recent, Ugandan Media news has been awash with stories in which Uganda’s most prominent Prosperity Gospel Preacher and Political Evangelical, Robert Kayanja has been accused of Sodomy and Sexual Abuse of underage boys. The story has been going on for a longtime but a group of Pastors gathered medical evidence from the abused boys and filled police charges against Pastor Robert Kayanja who happens to be a TBN favorite of Paul Crouch; coincidentally Paul Crouch was taken to court himself for Sodomy in California some years ago. Pastor Kayanja claims the Sodomy Allegations are baseless according to the Ugandan Press.

“…Pastor Kyazze’s response follows a Sunday press briefing held by pastor Kayanja and his personal aide, Mr Chris Muwonge at Miracle Centre, alleging he was kidnapped on April 18 by unknown gunmen who wanted him to testify that his boss was sodomising boys in his church. “I have never been involved in any efforts to undermine or discredit any pastor or individuals at Rubaga Miracle Centre. I have no quarrel or anything personal against Pastor Kayanja or my brothers and sisters at Rubaga Miracle Centre,” Pastor Kyazze’s Press statement sent to Daily Monitor yesterday reads in part. He added: “My struggle has been and will be to fight for the increasing number of victims of sodomy in our society. If this has been misinterpreted as being an effort to discredit Pastor Kayanja, then it is unfortunate and also dangerous and unfounded insinuation.” Pastor Solomon Male, a close associate of Pastor Kyazze yesterday tore into Pastor Kayanja saying the alleged kidnapped of his aide was faked up to divert the society from accusations of sodomy against him…”

http://www.monitor.co.ug/artman/publish/news/Church_wars_Pastor_Kyazze_denies_Kayanja_allegations_83945.shtml

Making matters worse, is that two other Junior Pastors, Pastor Isaac Kiwewesi of Kansanga Miracle Center and Pastor Grace Kitaka of Liberty Christian Fellowship, both under Pastor Robert Kayanja Miracle Center Churches, have been accused of sodomy and all had police charges opened against them with evidence from the abused boys.

“…Mr Arinaitwe, who says he was employed at Kansanga Miracle Centre from 2002, has filed a case with Kabalagala Police Station alleging that Pastor Kiwewesi sodomised him between 2006 and 2007 and promised to pay him Shs3 million. “He used me until 2007 when he got married. He promised me Sh3 million for my parents and said he would send me to the US to stay there with his cousin,” he told Daily Monitor on Monday. Mr Arinaitwe also accuses Pastor Kiwewesi of harassment and threatening him with death after learning that he was coming out with the “secret”. The OC of Kabalagala Police Station, Ms Dorothy Awori, said police are investigating the matter…”

http://www.monitor.co.ug/artman/publish/regional-special/Pastor_Kiwewesi_denies_sodomy_allegations_72442.shtml

“PENTECOSTAL churches are investigating a city pastor accused of engaging in sodomy. “The National fellowship of Born-again Pentecostal Churches of Uganda has set up its own committee to investigate the allegations against Kitaka,” the chairperson, Pastor Alex Mitala, announced yesterday. This followed reports that Pastor Grace Kitaka of Liberty Worship Centre, headed by Pastor Imelda Namutebi, sodomised a boy. Mitala said Pentecostal churches are against homosexuality or activities related to the act…”
New Vision, July 12, 2007: Pastors to probe sodomy allegations
http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/13/575675

Interesting is that all these accused Ugandan Pastors are the champions of the Prosperity Gospel in Uganda, with Mega Churches, Mansions, and expensive SUVs to their names.

However, if the Sodomy litigations against the Ugandan Prosperity Pastors go ahead successfully without the impediment of Uganda’s corrupt Law enforcers, then the top voices of Uganda’s Prosperity Movement will have one of their platforms removed.

Yet still, due to the financial stress that Western Donors are going through, the remittances being sent to Africa are dwindling and that means that the donations to Prosperity Gospel Preachers in Africa from the West are being trimmed down greatly. This translates to the easy access of a flamboyant and materialistic lifestyle being removed from the Prosperity and Materialism preachers in Africa…

Eventually that will mean loss of thousands of dollars in their coffers and thus a heavy financial blow to Uganda’s Prosperity Gospel Movement and eventual fall from Political Evangelical Power – for the gods of Money and Political Power are crumbling in Christendom! The happenings in Uganda’s Evangelical Church are a Case Study for African Evangelicalism.

Events that are changing the landscape…
Two events will forever change the landscape in global Westernized Christianity – the Election of Liberal President Barrack Obama in the USA and the Current Global Economic Crisis. Both signal the fall of the Evangelical gods of Power and Mammon in Westernized Christianity.

Instead Christians had better prepare themselves for a society that will increasingly become agnostic and antagonistic towards Evangelical Christianity. However, this is not without reason, Evangelicals for the last three decades have engaged overtly in militant political maneuvers to install and impose Christian Moral Theocratic Rule politically in the Westernized World and therefore the secular world sees them as suspect.

A clear point of this ‘secular suspect’ of Evangelical Christianity can be seen in the recent poll done by the Pew Research Center according to CNN in which 54 percent of Evangelicals in America thought Torture is justifiable…

“The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new survey. More than half of people who attend services at least once a week -- 54 percent -- said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is "often" or "sometimes" justified. Only 42 percent of people who "seldom or never" go to services agreed, according to the analysis released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life…The president of the National Association of Evangelicals, Leith Anderson, did not immediately respond to a request for comment…”
CNN: Survey: Support for terror suspect torture differs among the faithful; April 30, 2009
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/30/religion.torture/index.html

Though the survey is factual and shows the ideological decadence of Political Evangelical Christianity in Westernized Christianity, such views by the secular world of Evangelical Christianity only help to build a more antagonistic and Antichrist society, totally suspect of any Evangelical activities, even the good.

Christians in an antagonistic and Antichrist society…
However, Jesus Christ was clear that Christianity was not going to be popular but rather suspect, hated, and maligned by the world. But it is in such context that we are to live peacefully and live a Christian Life that reflects the glory of God as we become witnesses of Jesus Christ in a growing Antichrist world…being faithful to the very end.

Revelation 12:10-11
(10) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
(11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Revelation 13:7-10
(7) And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
(8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
(9) If any man have an ear, let him hear.
(10) He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

I believe that Christians allover the globe had better take the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ seriously that “you will be hated of all nations for my Name Sake”. For that time is not future but progressively and surely happening now…

Luke 21:17
(17) And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

Such a world as described by Jesus Christ in Luke 21:17 is not the Dr. James Dobson Christian Moral Utopia. However, if we are to suffer as Christians, let us not suffer because of evil behavior like the support of torture and other Political Christianity meddling but rather let us suffer purely for the Name Sake of Jesus Christ, our love and faith in Him.

1 Peter 2:19-25
(19) For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
(20) For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
(21) For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
(22) Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
(23) Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
(24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
(25) For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

For the evangelical gods of Mammon and Power have been overthrown and as Christians, we had better live our lives as Peter the apostle alludes to in his letter to the Christians – let us not suffer in the Name of Mammon and Christian Political Power but for the Name of Jesus Christ.

The Imminent Demise of America?

By
Dene McGriff

If you are reading this, you may well be considered a terrorist according to a “threat analysis” by the Department of Homeland Security dated April 7, 2009 titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." The purpose of this "one of a series" of threat analysis is "to facilitate a greater understanding of the phenomenon of violent radicalization in the United States" so that all "law enforcement officials... may effectively deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks against the United States." Their concern is fueled because of those who believe in "'end times' prophecies." The document says end-time Bible prophecy teachings "have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement." So if you are reading this website, be warned. You could be labeled a “terrorist” or a “radical”. More on this in a moment.

Recently a “Hate Crimes” bill was passed by the House. “On a vote of 249-175, the House passed and sent to the Senate a bill backed by the new Democratic White House to broaden such laws by classifying as "hate crimes" those attacks based on a victim's sexual orientation, gender identity or mental or physical disability.” Christian activists believe that if passed and signed into law, the legislation could be used to target Americans who voice their opposition to the homosexual lifestyle – including pastors preaching and reading the Bible. "Passage would literally throw open the door to attacks against people of faith, who could be prosecuted with federal monies for expressing their views on homosexuality!" warns Gary Cass, executive director of the Center for Reclaiming America. Some believe that if passed and signed into law, the legislation could be used to target Christians. More on this later also…

And then we have the swine flu pandemic. Nothing creates more of a sense of urgency, if not out and out panic as a pandemic. I’m not going into detail. You can Google this yourself. Some believe this is genetically engineered (as was AIDS, Ebola, Lime Disease, etc.) at best by the Pharmacy companies to make money (create the problem and provide the solution) or at worst as an evil cabal intent on thinning the population. Some are warning of forced vaccinations. I think it’s over for now.

Obama is increasing debt at the most alarming rate in the history of the country. At the rate he is going, he will create more government debt in his first four years than all administrations before him combined. Billions are flowing into the corrupt banking system and nothing seems to be working. Banks, insurance companies and some of the largest corporations in America are being nationalized. The nation is falling into the deepest and longest recession since the Great Depression. So what does this mean? America will come out stronger or is all of this activism only making things worse?

In another move, Obama is creating a youth brigade. The bill is entitled “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education” (GIVE) and requires anyone receiving school loans and others receiving aid to serve at least three months as part of the youth brigade. His goal is one million youth! The Bill, HR 1388, would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” That means no church attendance or witnessing. Some liken it to Kennedy’s Peace Corps and others to Hitler’s Youth. More on this in a moment.

So what do we have? Christians who talk about end times prophecy may be guilty of sedition. Youth in government programs are forbidden to go to church. And, it is becoming a hate crime (already is in Canada) to speak your conscience based on Biblical teachings. A pandemic may be unfolding daily before our eyes, if not this time, maybe the next. And the final topic is the economy. What does this mean? Where does this leave America? What does this mean in terms of prophecy? How does this all fit? Believe me it does!

Politics and Prophecy

If you are a Christian, you may be considered a “right wing extremist” and lumped in with David Koresh, Timothy McVeigh and Al-Qaeda. According to the DHS threat assessment, “rightwing terrorists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American President present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment.” The Threat Assessment warns that "historically, domestic rightwing extremists have feared, predicted, and anticipated a cataclysmic economic collapse in the United States." Those who believe this may happen are "conspiracy theorists" who fear "declarations of martial law, impending civil strife or racial conflict, suspension of the U.S. Constitution, and the creation of citizen detention camps." How does DHS define "right-wing extremism'? It writes that it "can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

So what is behind all of this? The document claims this is fueled by those who believe in "'end times' prophecies." These teachings "have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement." The report goes on to declare, “Antigovernment conspiracy theories and end times prophecies could motivate individuals to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons. “So how do you like the way Christians are all lumped together? But wait. There’s more! And don’t forget gun control opponents and soldiers returning from war zones “who possess combat skills and experience that are attracted to rightwing extremists.” It mentions abortion and anti-gay beliefs to fan the dangers of radicalization. It even says that, “Rightwing extremists views bemoans the decline of US stature and have recently focused on themes such as the loss of US manufacturing capability to China and India.” The report goes on and on. They tie racism to the pro-life and pro-marriage movements calling Christians “fearful bigots.” Friends, this report was issued by Obama’s Department of Homeland Security!

The Tribulation Network receives thousands of hits a day and a great many of those hits come from the U.S. government and military so “big brother” is watching… just so you know. So for the record, we never advocate violence. We do believe America is in prophecy although not in the way the extremists they are talking about believe. We do not see America as the “Christian” savior nation of the world. We never advocate political activity of any kind, survivalism, violence or escapism by rapture. We merely believe that the church (small “c” – i.e. the people) is to be a living testimony to the world of the saving and transforming power of Christ in our lives.

When it comes to prophecy, the issue before us is this. Is the Bible true? Is it the Word of God? Is it a prophetic book? Have its prophecies been accurate? Should we care? I think the answer to all of those questions is yes. It was accurate in the Old Testament, in the hundreds of prophecies concerning the fate of the nation of Israel, the coming of the Messiah and all of the prophecies related to the Last Days (representing at least one fourth of the Bible). As I have pointed out in other writings, prophecy has been discredited for many reasons. One of the most obvious is that scholars through the years kept trying to make the Bible fit their world and historic view. The Book of Daniel says: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end…Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” (Daniel12:4, 10) So we see that last days’ prophecy was not to be revealed in clarity until the end. That takes an open heart and mind, not a bunch of preconceived notions that have been passed down from one generation to the next. Another reason prophecy is subject to criticism has to do with crying “wolf” too many times, as it says in 2 Peter 3:3-4, “knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”

Does this nullify prophecy? We know many, especially those in the younger generation, who are tired of warnings. They have heard it all. But wait a minute! What are the signs of His coming (see Matthew 24)? Wars, rumors of wars, pestilence and famine are some of them, but that could be any time. But more specifically we have the prophecies relating to Israel’s regathering as a nation. We see an almost supernatural alignment of Islam against the Western “Christian” world and even more specifically Israel and the U.S. The deception is growing and we need to recognize it. In the Purpose Driven Life (pp 285-286) Rick Warren declares “The details of my return are none of your business.” That seems to be the mood of most churches today.

Analysis

It appears that anyone who believes in end times Biblical prophecy will be mocked, demonized or even declared a dangerous radical. How do we handle this? Don’t be surprised when it happens. Be clear in your own heart and mind what God is saying. Below is a review of some of the basics we see.

1. The presence of Israel, a tiny nation with 5.5 million Jews the size of the State of New Jersey is a “cup of trembling” and unanimously condemned by the nations of the earth. (Zechariah 12:2) It is ironic that the peoples that suffered most during the holocaust have been declared a racist apartheid state. Israel has become the focal point of attention and hatred.

2. Prophecy declares that in the last days a great apostate (meaning “falling away”) “Christian” consumer nation (Revelation 17, 18 and 19) will make a defense treaty (Daniel 9:27) with Israel. (Please see In Search of Babylon for details) So what nation is the world’s largest economy, military, “Christian” in name at least and one of the only friends of Israel likely to make a treaty and have the power to enforce it? Christian leaders absolutely refuse to consider the answer to this question honestly but lamely claim it is Iraq, Russia, reunified Europe, Rome – doing anything but recognizing the only elephant in the room (Please see Doug Krieger’s text: Rise or Fall of American Empire…the Evangelical Cover-up of America in Bible Prophecy). They uniformly declare that since America cannot be found in prophecy, it must be destroyed! Please see the 28 action packed chapters on Antichrist – Reflections on the Desolator.

3. The government is not rejecting lukewarm Christianity, only prophetic Christians who may be critical of government and apostate Churchianity. Where does this leave Christians? With a lukewarm church that is non-judgmental and accepting of one another and other religions (a la Rick Warren) – a feel good Christianity designed to entertain, inform and help you through the problems of life by either promising an “early out” via the pre-tribulation rapture or encouraging you to get involved in making society a better place as long as it is done in a politically correct way.

4. Where does this leave Israel? After one final salvo aimed at Iran’s nuclear program, Israel will be told to accept peace in exchange for land (pre-1967 borders which is strategically impossible to defend) – but not to worry. America will defend them and sign a treaty to prove it. Readers, when that happens, it is literally “the beginning of the end”—the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week. Again, I refer you to another online book titled The Prophetic Sequence where all of this is documented in great detail.

The New Obama Approach

The Youth Brigade and proposed “Hate Crimes” bill represents an interesting new direction to say the least. Why would youth be prohibited from participating in religious activity or voicing their religious opinions? What happened to freedom of speech and expression? What is the message we are sending to our youth? What kind of indoctrination will they receive? Since when are veterans a security threat?

Unfortunately, the same mentality that makes it wrong to pray or promote anything Christian in schools but it is okay to discuss other religions, practice meditation and visualization in class. Christians are viewed as narrow, absolutist, bigoted and judgmental. The controversy in California over Proposition 8 defining marriage between a man and a woman has not only reached new lows but the characterization of Christians as haters of gays. I thought we were all entitled to our own opinions. That doesn’t mean we hate anyone. Laws are about definitions and one would certainly have a hard time arguing that in the entire history of mankind that the generally accepted definition of marriage is the union of one man and one woman.

The issue at hand is not marriage, gays or straights but whether God has any say in the matter. Just as the children of Israel were continually influenced by the religions and idol worship of the surrounding cultures, the popular thing today is to make your own designer god and define God in your own terms. Who defines whom? The potter or the clay? The creator or the creation? Unfortunately, Christians focus on one or two sins – homosexuality and abortion. They fail to give all of the other “sins” equal footing. The point isn’t in measuring degrees. The point is that man does not have a relationship with God because he doesn’t recognize his own condition and the need for a divine, transforming life. The secular world views Christians as judgmental, single issue hypocrites who think they are better than everyone else and unfortunately they are not that far off. Although we say, “hate the sin but love the sinner” - many do not do that but can be seen on street corners waving signs and shouting at those who disagree with them.

Unfortunately, secular liberals tend to lump all “Christians” into the same mold. But even worse, the tolerant liberal tends to be most intolerant when someone disagrees with them on these issues. It is no longer okay to believe the Bible as the Word of God or in a righteous God who condemns all sin (not just one or two). But because most so-called Christians are woefully ignorant of what a real Christian is and how God works in them and transforms their lives, they have become legalistic brainwashed automatons going through the motions thinking they are fighting to preserve their values and world view.

The administration reflects societies jaundiced one size fits all view of Christians who must become more accepting of others or else. The result is a lukewarm Laodicean form of Christianity that will become accepting and compliant as long as they can continue to have the good life. Suffering is not their cup of tea. An early rapture sounds like a great alternative. For the few remaining who know the Lord and believe in His Word, it is becoming very hard to express an honest difference of opinion. Right now, the secularists are piling on them but soon the nominal “Christians” will join the fray. The Obama approach will enforce a new era of political correctness, a watered down cultural Christianity and a dismantling of true Biblical Christianity. There will be nothing more seditious than taking the Bible literally and not being accepting of “others.” Those who promote end times prophecy may be mocked or arrested.

It is premature to say if the Swine Flu will be another catalyzing event. Certainly 9/11 led to the so-called Patriot Act which did more to undermine constitutional freedom than anything in modern times. The current financial crisis has given the government unprecedented power extending the activism begun by the Bush administration. Whether this is a sinister or a stupid move, who knows? But it is historic. Let’s look at it.

Obama and the Economy

I have written many articles on the economy over the years so let me just summarize here. Over the decade we experienced a number of bubbles. “When one bubble blew up...the feds pumped in more hot air - inflating a new bubble somewhere else. When the dot.com bubble exploded, they pumped overtime. Pretty soon, they had inflated huge bubbles - in emerging markets, housing, consumer credit, the financial industry, commodities, food, and even art. Private debt - used to fund the asset bubbles - was the biggest bubble of all. And now, with all those bubbles flattening, along comes another one. A bubble in public debt.” (Daily Reckoning)

We also know that this was caused in large part by the creation of derivatives. Let’s put derivatives in perspective. The GDP of the U.S. is about $15 trillion and the world’s is $50 trillion. An article I wrote several years ago explains what derivatives are in fairly simple terms. They are basically bundled debt instruments that are sold, leveraged and resold again and again. Some liken them to casino bets. The only problem is that if the original debt instruments fail, say bundled mortgages amounting to $50 million, the derivative instruments attached to it may total hundreds of billions of dollars—now that’s failure big time! The whole daisy chain comes unraveled and the debt becomes due. Let’s look at another interesting case – AIG, one of the world’s largest insurance companies and my former employer. There was a small AIG group in London that saw the market potential in derivatives so they began to insure these huge packages for pennies on the dollar. They were called credit default swaps. Who bought these swaps? Banks and investment houses such as Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup, Bank of America, etc., bought them. Now the bailout has grown to $180 billion. Has AIG benefited? Hardly! It was all part of the bank bailout and guess who got the money?

Now if the creation of ad hoc money in the form of derivatives, the creation of paper money by the Fed and bonds by Treasury created the problem to begin with, then what makes us think these same guys are going to solve the problem? They have collectively pumped more than 15 trillion dollars into the dead broke banks and the economy. Yet credit is still squeezed (Note: Credit card companies are delimiting lines of credit as never before.). In spite of government purchase of bonds, they are having a hard time holding long term interest rates down. I predict most of these banks will fail because the derivate exposure is now estimated at $1.4 quadrillion worldwide (i.e., $1,400,000,000,000.00). Meanwhile, countries around the world are printing money and issuing debt in amounts never seen before with no inflation. In fact, many countries like the U.S. and Britain are buying their own bonds which is called monetizing debt (also a way of lower long term debt such as mortgages), usually a sign of hyperinflation to come. But that isn’t happening yet because like giant black holes, money created out of nothing is disappearing into black holes of debt. The Feds balance sheet has increased six times from a half a trillion to over $3 trillion

Germany’s chancellor said, “The crisis did not come about because we issued too little money but because we created economic growth with too much money, and it was not sustainable.” Money is not lent from money saved, but from artificial money loaned at artificially low rates by Central Banks to stimulate the economy. To say deficits and debt don’t have to be paid is not exactly true. But central banks inflate the money supply so they can pay the loans off with deflated currency and in the process, destroy the value in the currency. Governments create more and more debt knowing that they will be gone before anyone figures it out. The idea that a nation gets wealthy by consuming rather than producing is an oxymoron and anyone with a modicum of sense knows it. As the German Chancellor says, this is not sustainable. By 2010, it is estimated that American debt will increase to $14.22 trillion from $9.5 trillion at the end of the Bush era. That is nearly $5 trillion in only two years! This debt could strangle the economy and eventually lead to hyperinflation especially if other countries balk at continuing to loan to us. Every recession since WWII has been met with increased spending and the effect of the stimulus does not work but is masked by inflation. Eventually, the interest on the debt becomes the largest line item in the budget. The countries supporting our “debt habit” insist on higher and higher rates of return which drives up interest rates, stifling housing and investment.

Many economists would say that we should let banks fail, let auto companies fail and restructure. They would argue that the more they do to prevent depression, the greater the mess they create. They cite the Great Depression and Japan as examples. The government is growing increasingly intrusive taking an ownership position in car companies, banks, insurance companies, etc. Technically, this is called nationalization. We may think it is over, but the next mortgage bust is coming in 2010 and 2011 when many adjustable rate mortgages reset and as the commercial sector implodes. We don’t have to look very hard to see businesses from retail stores to restaurants to car dealerships closing all around us. We may think the derivative crisis is behind us but it isn’t and there isn’t enough money in the world to save us. The economy is like the proverbial tar baby and the more the government struggles to save it, the worse the final adjustments will be.

So does this mean that all of the prophets of doom are right? Is America going to be the next banana republic?

America’s Prophetic Future

At the risk of being labeled a radical, but in contrast to most evangelical leaders, I don’t believe we should count America out. If we had another hundred years, there is little doubt that we would decrease in power and importance. But as a practical matter there are no contenders. Russia is a basket case. China has unemployed millions returning inland to the farms, destabilizing the country—both blame the USA for their woes. India and China both are facing tremendous population pressure, decreasing crop yield, a lack of potable water and are ripe for pestilence. The Middle East is facing a financial crunch as oil prices have dropped a hundred dollars a barrel due to decreased demand. Europe is as confused as ever as her many peoples find it difficult to agree on anything.

Even though the U.S. is still bogged down in two wars, and the economy is reeling, it is still the largest economy and military in the world. It is still Christian in name at least and still Israel’s only significant friend. Again, I refer you to In Search of Babylon. There is no other nation that I know of that fits the description of prophetic Babylon. So don’t count it out yet. We know that one of the characteristics of the last days is apostasy and deception. Many Christians are either not expecting to be here and promote the notion that America’s role in Bible prophecy is insignificant because the pre-tribulation rapture or some economic, military or natural calamity will somehow diminished her as the world’s only super power. Because America isn’t specifically mentioned in the Bible, they assume it must be destroyed or at least diminish so other countries can take its place. But most think life will go on as usual. They are asleep at the wheel. Prophecy is not important to them. They can’t imagine anything bad happening to them. All I can say is: Slow down, 180 degree turn ahead! “Let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”

THE FAT LADY SINGS THE A.G.W. BLUES

Carole "CJ" Williams
May 6, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

For well over a year now I’ve been blind-copied on electronic back and forth correspondence from some of the most brilliant and well-respected scientists on Earth. The stunningly informative missives have been passed on to me by Hans Schreuder whose ‘I Love My Carbon Dioxide’ Website contains a wealth of information that totally dispels the myth of Anthropogenic (man-made) Global Warming (AGW).

Basing their well-researched opinions on sound science methodology rather than garbage-in/garbage-out computerized modeling, the gentlemen are among hundreds of extremely well educated scientists who are digging in their heels against the UN invited Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scientists and some of President Obozo’s government Obots who’ve no qualms about lying through their teeth to perpetuate Al Gore’s AGW Hoax. I wrote about some of that in my op-ed piece, ‘How the Environmental Extremists Manipulate the Masses’, posted at News with Views on 1/26/08, which is what prompted Hans (and many others) to contact me with an ‘atta-girl’ in the first place.

I won’t belabor the fact that AGW is a hoax by going into tons of ‘over-the reader’s head’ scientific detail; suffice it to say one of the greatest scams to be played out on mankind by some of the most deplorably self-serving and greedy individuals on the planet has been in the works for years. Those who still want convincing that AGW is a con game need only explore Mr. Schreuder’s website, as well as read his words here, words written so almost anyone can understand why the purported ‘global warming crisis’ is nothing more than anthropogenic globaloney.

As additional proof of intentional malfeasance, I offer the utterance of Democrat Timothy Wirth, a former Senator from Colorado: “What we’ve got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”

That, ladies and gentlemen, appears to be the mentality of the current brood of common sense-challenged, U.N. boot-licking legislative and EPA policy making Obots who roost in D. C. and live off the blood, sweat and tears of America’s hard working taxpayers.

According to ‘Wikipedia’, Wirth began his political career as a White House Fellow under Lyndon Johnson and served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Education under Nixon. Following that, Wirth managed to get elected to the House of Representatives in 1975, serving in that capacity until 1987 when he was sworn in as a Senator. He served one Senate term before becoming Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs under Clinton.

During his tenure with the State Department, Wirth worked with his pal Al Gore on global environmental and population issues, and supported the administration’s views that mankind was responsible for the non-existent global warming crisis. Using the UN as a smoke screen, Wirth, along with the Billhillary Clinton-Gore tag team, supported the abominable Kyoto Treaty and announced the U.S.’s commitment to legally binding greenhouse gas emissions, apparently even though he realized the AGW theory could be wrong.

In 1998 Wirth accepted a position as president of the United Nations Foundation, which is actually Ted Turner’s tribute to himself. Turner funded it with a $1 billion contribution in 1998 to support UN causes, many of which are hatched to pad the elitists’ pockets through such things as the emissions cap and trade swindle. An excellent Cliff Kincaid article titled “Ted Turner’s United Nations Foundation: Making the UN a Pawn for Tax-Exempt Special Interests” exposes the seedier side of Turner’s questionable endeavor.

It was while serving as UN Foundation president that Wirth purportedly hatched what’s known as the ‘Energy Future Coalition’ when chatting over dinner with friends soon after two planes flew in the World Trade Center Towers on September 11, 2001. Evidently, it was a crisis Wirth and his dining buddies didn’t let go to waste.

According to information found at ‘Source Watch’, the diners gathered support from a long list of notables; members of their advisory board and/or steering committee include Turner Foundation President Michael Finley, Shell Oil Senior VP Roxanne Decyk, Goldman Sachs Managing Director Chansoo Joung, former EPA Deputy Administrator Robert Fri, World Bank Energy and Water Development Director Jamal Saghir, and the Chicago, Illinois Center for Neighborhood Technology President Scott Bernstein.

Though not very well known across America, the Center for Neighborhood Technology should be no stranger to Obama in that a Harvard bio write-up of his achievements lists him as serving on several boards, including the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (an offshoot of the Annenberg Foundation), the Joyce Foundation, the Woods Fund of Chicago, and the Center for Neighborhood Technology.

According to information on its website, the Energy Future Coalition is an initiative funded by private foundations that want to change U.S. policy to ‘address challenges relating to the production and use of energy’. Since the info was posted at Source Watch, others have come onboard with the coalition, including Chicago Climate Exchange Chairman and CEO Richard L. Sandor. Among its funders are the Turner Foundation, United Nations Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the Annenberg Foundation.

In addition to pushing the private property intrusive ‘Smart Grid’ and costly ‘clean energy’, the Energy Future Coalition sponsors a program named ’25 x 25’ that will manipulate farmers, ranchers, and forest owners into providing 25 percent of the total energy consumed in the U.S. by the year 2025. Aha!!! More dots connected as to why rabid environmentalism is preventing Americans from extracting their abundant underground resources that provide energy.

Much to my surprise, I’d already connected some of the slime laden, eco-green dots for readers in another of my op-ed piece posted at News with Views on July 8, 2007 when I wrote that Comrade Pelosi was planning to ‘green’ the nation’s capitol. Part of her cockamamie scheme included using $95,000 of taxpayer money annually to buy carbon offsets from the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX). Yes, folks, Ms. Pelosi was all set to blow almost a hundred thousand dollars a year to make her feel all warm and fuzzy about helping to ‘save the planet’, while coincidently helping pad the pockets of green-technology investors who want to trade carbon credits.

As that information is even more pertinent today, please allow me to repeat myself: “The Chicago Climate Exchange, which peddles carbon offsets for investment purposes, is a player in the futures market. It’s a spin-off of the InterContinental Exchange (ICE), which was created by international banks led by the global investment and securities banking firm of Goldman Sachs and oil companies led by British Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell.

A couple of years ago, ICE was involved in a nasty scandal centering around accusations that it was driving oil and gas speculation without regulatory oversight, adding as much as $20 to $25 to the price of a barrel of oil and causing hardship to industry and households and suffering to underdeveloped countries.

One of ICE’s founding partners is Richard Sandor who is credited with being the “inventor” of carbon swaps and carbon-offset derivatives trading. He runs both the Chicago Climate Exchange and the London Climate Exchange.

Goldman Sachs is the largest shareholder of the Chicago Climate Exchange and the second largest shareholder of ICE. In fact, Goldman Sachs put Al Gore into the carbon offset hedge fund business in 2003 when David Blood, a former CEO of Goldman Sachs Assets Management, along with two other former Goldman Sachs officers, helped Gore establish his firm, General Investment Management, which focuses on “Sustainable Investing” by peddling carbon offsets.”

As proof of those claims, I offered ‘Carbon Trade Swindle Behind Gore Hoax’, written by Richard Freeman and Marcia Merry Baker and posted at the Intelligence Review on March 30, 2007. Take a few minutes to read it, folks; it’s a real mind-boggler to realize that some of the same international banks, as well as Goldman Sachs, whose former CEO was none other than just ‘put-out-to-pasture’ US Treasury Sec. Hank Paulson, not only had a heavy hand in destroying America’s economy, but are also among the principal players in the CCX/ICE con game, too.

Now enter the faux POTUS in 2009, posturing and strutting on the world’s stage as though he has legal entitlement to the position, although he’s so far refused to provide indisputable proof of such. While the banksters and Goldman Sachs connivers were pimping Al Gore and setting up their carnie con-game wagon, Barack-Barry-Hussein-Obama-Soterro-Obama was sitting on the board of the Joyce Foundation, which also contributed financially to setting the CCX/AGW Hoax framework in place in Chicago. A no-holds-barred accounting of that scheming can be read here.

Folks, there is no manmade global warming to speak of. CO2, a.k.a. carbon dioxide, is necessary for all life forms and essential for all of us in order to live healthy and productive lives.

[See DVD "Global Warming - Global Governance"]

In summary, allow me to close with the words of Hans Schreuder to whom I made a promise that the fat lady would someday sing:

“All of what has become accepted as ‘climate science’ is poisoned by false science, based on mathematical formulae and computer simulations. None of these ‘scientists’ has a clue about making observations and deducing what the reality is.

It is scientific fraud of the highest possible order to conclude that "After a thorough scientific review ordered in 2007 by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a proposed finding Friday that greenhouse gases contribute to air pollution ..."

It is absolutely totally and utterly impossible to reach such a conclusion if proper scientific principles are adhered to. Period.

Those in power will do everything to keep the scam alive and people like me have as good as nil chance to get heard where it matters.

The truth of what rules the climate is so stark and basic that those in power do not wish to know about it. It will destroy their credibility overnight and with it the professional status of tens of thousands of academics who have all signed up to the hoax.

It is a self-perpetuating prophecy. With the climate heading for a naturally occurring cooler period lasting up to some 30 years, it will be claimed that emission reductions are working and aren’t the ‘boys’ clever for ‘controlling the climate’?”

DO YOU THINK OBAMA MIGHT NOT BE WHAT HE SAYS HE IS?

By Dr. Laurie Roth
May 8, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

“I am a Christian, never a Muslim.” It’s incredible to me as I revisit the emotional and spiritual seduction so many millions had when Obama was running for office. So many were sick of globalist Bush, the Iraq war and Republicans in general. We found ourselves with a handsome, young, rock star black guy who was vividly democrat and liberal competing against the usual Rhino type conservative who was older and was proud of being a compromiser and frankly a globalist, McCain. I had a little hope when they brought in Sarah Palin, a real woman, wife, mom and servant to the people of Alaska who could speak. However, they quickly and stupidly pulled her back and like McCain they tried to moderate her. Bad and fatal move to the campaign interviews and debates!

Like so many others in conservative talk radio and journals, I studied Obama’s voting record and associations pitting them against his articulate and entertaining speeches staring at the prompters. I was stunned that so many, though obviously sick of the Iraq struggle and mad at Bush would think that this empty shirt, Obama could actually bring the change America needed! NO, I won’t call him an empty shirt because he has nasty things in all his pockets. “Empty” at least reflects ignorance that would be bad but more understandable.

Just the facts please

Is Obama the sincere Christian so many believe he is?

He told the G 20 folks in his last big overseas series of meetings that WE WERE NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION.

He gladly bowed low to the King of Saudi Arabia, something a U.S. President has never done.

He broke a long-standing tradition when the White House demanded that the symbol of Jesus Christ be covered up before his speech at Georgetown University on April 24th. This was unprecedented by and American President. Most recently, former President Bush and Laura Bush spoke at the same podium and never asked for the symbol of Jesus Christ to be covered up. Obviously, someone has a little issue with Jesus……….hmm.

Now we have him refusing to even attend the National Day of Prayer gathering on May 11th, 2009.

What is President Obama’s goal in leadership?

Obama wants and plans for the U.S. to submit to international leadership and the UN.

It doesn’t take a great IQ to see the over reach of Obama and this administration trying to force our country into submission with the International community and UN. He is supportive and so are many liberal members of this congress, of the U.N. Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It sounds at first glimpse innocent until you study what they want to do. It would render the rights of all parents to raise their children, impotent. There could be no more love pats, or swats, don’t be thinking about forcing little Suzie to church. If she was distressed about going to church one Sunday and told a school counselor it would be a violation of the rights of your child to make her go. Foster care and authorities might just show up at your door. Don’t mess with the rights of your child with the Internet either….. on and on.

For that matter, with Barney Frank’s Hate Crimes bill, protecting pedophiles and over 500 different sexual absurdities, crimes and much deviance, don’t be thinking you can bonk a pedophile over the head if he is attacking your young daughter. You could be committing a felony and hate crime and he could be committing a misdemeanor. Isn’t that precious?

We have also seen Obama and his administration pushing FOCA, the freedom of Choice Act which would force all Doctors, hospitals, Christian/Catholic or not and all states (even if laws were on the books against abortion) to give abortions on demand. Maybe that is why one of the many things listed in the Homeland Security Report, the day before the April 15th Tea Parties as a potential domestic terror danger were people who believed in state and federal sovereignty.

We have seen Obama and his administration recently pressuring and allegedly threatening many lenders who didn’t want to sell Chrysler. They were threatened with ruination if they didn’t cooperate and sell. GM will even be more complicated and horrific as they fall apart and the Government swoops in to control them.

We have already heard of and I have spoken and written about in previous articles, the many banks who did not want the bail out money. They were all pressured to take at least 5 billion each or none would get it. I talked directly with two high up banking contacts that were straight up and verified that. Then when the banks tried to pay it back as soon as possible congress would not take the funds back.

The only thing you can figure with this ridiculous scenario is that Obama and this administration want total control of the banking industry, auto industry, if he has his way, parental rights. The control attempts and plans continue on. We will see a strong push for forced gun registration and manipulated environmental controls and taxation. You know, the huge worldwide, global warming melt down that doesn’t really exist?

What can one assume from the first 100 days in this administration?

Obama is NOT a Christian.
Obama is NOT a Capitalist but a totally dedicated socialist/Marxist.
Obama is in love with being popular to the world but hates the US and its sovereignty.
Obama has little or no loyalty at all to our best allie in the Middle East, Israel.
Obama believes in big Government control in all areas of our lives.

This is not my vision for America; I hope to God it isn’t yours. Organize and plan LARGER Tea Parties July 4th. Work very hard to find and back REAL leaders to run in each of your states and get behind them in an assertive way. Let’s regain the House in the mid term elections and work on getting back the Senate. Finally, let’s vote this nightmare out of office after 4 years and start to repair the damage!

A PLAN COMES TOGETHER: THE SHEEP OBEY

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO
May 4, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

On May 1, 2009, the LA Times[1] reported some amazing occurrences:

• Hospitals on New York’s Long Island were scrambling to bring extra workers in to handle a 50% surge in visitors to emergency rooms.
• In Galveston, Texas, the local hospital ran out of flu testing kits after being overwhelmed with patients worried about having contracted swine flu.
• At Loma Linda University Medical Center near San Bernardino, California, emergency room workers set up tents in the parking lot to handle a crush of similar patients.
• In Chicago, ER visits at the city's biggest children's hospital are double normal levels, setting records at the 121-year-old institution.

So far, few of the anxious patients have had more than runny noses. The most disturbing revelations about these scenarios? They knew this was the way we would respond. What was published in 2006 has become fact in 2009.

A study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health confirmed that public health officials could easily convince most people to alter their daily lives to stem the spread of influenza. “The Pandemic Influenza Survey”[2] documented our willingness to do what we are told after only a little hyping that a deadly global pandemic was eminent.

The 2006 survey included 1,700 Americans. More than 90 percent said they would [willingly] comply with government orders to postpone air travel, avoid public places such as movie theaters and shopping malls, and would keep their children home from school in the event of a flu pandemic. A full 94 percent said they would stay home from work for up to 10 days to help authorities control disease spread

How Soon We Forget

The word pandemic simply means a certain type of virus seems to be infecting persons over a wide area, in this case, several states and a few countries. The word “pandemic” is not synonymous with “massive death,” although the media would have us believe that the two are equal. In fact, most persons over 50 years of age experienced the last two documented pandemics and the pandemic scare of 1976. And according to a 2008 report by the CDC, “even those who experienced [the 1957 and the 1968] pandemics do not recall them as particularly memorable events.”[3]

Most persons at least 43 years of age will no doubt recall the Swine flu hype of 1976. Starting from a single, infected military recruit, the threat of a pandemic and global death turned into a full-scale media and government circus. For many, the “Pandemic that Never Was” created havoc, death and long term disability. But the mayhem was not the work of a microscopic particle of replicating RNA. The carnage was created by the misguided steps our government and the overzealous drive from CDC officials to vaccinate.

The absolute belief in the effectiveness of vaccines resulted in the disability of 532 people who contracted Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a life-threatening form of paralysis. While many recovered in the ensuing months, at least 33 died and up to 10 percent remained paralyzed to varying degrees for the rest of their lives. While vaccine manufacturers reaped the rewards of government handouts to make vaccines, and secured legislation to protect them from liability (the Swine Flu Act of 1976), more than $1.3 billion of tax payer dollars were released to compensate those who had been injured by the swine flu vaccine.

[NWV Poll: Is this swine flu outbreak accidental or deliberate?]

For those X-Gens and Y-Gens under-40, ask your parents, grandparents and other senior relatives and friends what they recall about these Public Health panics. Surely they can shed some light about those moments in American history and their stories will help abate your fears of a “coming pandemic.” After all, they are alive to talk about it.

More Vaccines On The Way

Lessons about bad vaccines are rarely learned and the race to make more experimental doses has never been hotter. In 2005, Congress allocated $3.8 billion to developers with the stated goal of being able to “distribute a vaccine to every American within six months of the onset of a pandemic.” In 2006, our elected representatives went even further to ensure we are vaccinated: They created incentives for manufacturers by funding the Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005, nicknamed BioShield II. (see previous article: Swine flu: The New Bird flu)

Along with BioShield II, legislation was passed to amend the Public Health Service Act and establish a division called Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Agency, or BARDA. The BARDA is responsible for coordinating and overseeing activities that support and accelerate research and development of countermeasures [i.e. vaccines] and other products that qualify as pandemic or epidemic products. The BARDA has budgetary authority to award contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements that will advance the research and development of drugs and vaccines. The creation of vaccines is big, serious business. To see the list of all agencies and federal legislation involved with creating pandemic vaccines and drugs as a countermeasure, spend some time on the website for the Center for Biosecurity.[4]

On March 18, 2009, the BARDA requested $1.7 billion for FY 2010 to fund research and development of additional vaccines and drugs. Interestingly, just this week, President Obama released $1.5 billion of appropriations for pandemic planning. Although the funds were not specifically earmarked, it is probable that a portion of your tax dollars will go to fund BARDA.

On May 1, 2009, the Working Group of the Infectious Disease Society of America[5] chimed in and requested more funding for the current swine flu outbreak. Commending the President for releasing emergency appropriations for H1N1, the Working Group appealed to Congress for an additional $1.9 billion to fund the following:

• $870 million requested to expand cell and egg-based vaccine capacity. This money was requested from the previous Administration, but not funded in FY 2008. The money will also be used to purchase antivirals for the federal stockpile and to accelerate the R&D of rapid diagnostic tests;
• $350 million for States and localities to purchase equipment; funding staff and maintain 24-hour disease-reporting hotlines; increase public and clinician education about vaccines; distribute medical countermeasures [vaccines and antivirals], and refill staff positions lost to budget cuts;
• $122 million for State antiviral stockpiles for the treatment of people who become ill; and
• $563 million for States and localities to purchase personal protective equipment and antivirals for prophylaxis of healthcare and critical infrastructure workers.

This is amazing. A billion here, a billion there. A close look at these requests and it is apparent where the money flows: Directly into the pockets of the drug companies who make antivirals like Tamiflu and Relenza. The research and development funds will go toward new, novel flu vaccines, shots that much of the public has confirmed it would refuse.

In October, 2006 a survey reported by Reuters News service[6] documented that fewer than half of Americans planned to get the flu vaccine that year, mostly because they do not worry about flu. The survey of 1,000 adults found that just 48 percent planned to get immunized that year. Of those who did not plan to get the vaccine, 43 percent said they did not think influenza was serious enough to warrant vaccination and 38 percent felt they were not at risk.

Flu experts called the findings “disappointing,” and from that point forward, a full-court press has been on to increase the uptake of annual flu shots. No doubt the fear generated by the potential swine flu pandemic is part of the Play Book to make the flu seem serious enough for everyone to get vaccinated.

However, it appears the latest Swine flu buzz is fading away as fast as it materialized.[7] Scientists are coming to the conclusion that the new swine flu strain may actually be less dangerous than garden-variety, seasonal influenza. Even though there are positive cultures from 331 people in 11 countries, and 10 have died, even the WHO admits the numbers are “extremely small.” It is estimated that globally between 3 and 5 million people experience some level of the flu each year. One has to wonder why this has even made the news.

Something Bigger?

In January, 2009, the out-going Secretary of HHS, Michael Leavitt, released a report called “Pandemic Planning VI,” a summary of all the steps that have been completed to date in preparation for the next global pandemic. That document has become a suggested check list for Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama’s Secretary of HHS, to complete. If you haven’t seen it, it is worth reading, even though it may keep you up at night, knowing what is coming in the form of vaccines, vaccine types and new vaccine adjuvants.[8]

We have had three warm-up rounds: SARS, H5N1 bird flu and now, a “novel swine flu” from Mexico. Is there something bigger in store? There is no way to know for sure, but it is highly suspect. What we can say for sure is that another pandemic test round has passed muster. The media machine did its job, the government handed over billions for more vaccines and vaccine technologies, and, of course, many of the sheep obediently put on masks and fearfully ran off to doctors to be tested. When this has run its course, bureaucratic agencies will be slapping themselves on the back, affirming that all the systems worked ‘as planned.’ They turned the crank; the world danced to their tune.

For those who hope that one day, an informed citizenry will undertake a serious blow back against the continually escalating government propaganda and media manipulation, I hope most of you find the reports of runs on emergency rooms and the optional mask- and glove-wearing to be somewhere between amusing and annoying. Fear runs this country and when the great “What If” boogey man shouts, a large number seem to listen. As I write this, I am on a completely full, 737 airplane about to complete a three-hour flight from Houston to San Diego. Not one person came on the plane with a mask and I have not heard a single sneeze or a sniffle. I’m glad to see that many are going about their lives, business as usual.

The information in my book, FOWL!, is as timely now as when it was written. In 2006, I reported that the Director General of the WHO had said in 2005, “It is only a matter of time before an avian flu virus—most likely H5N1— acquires the ability to be transmitted from human-to-human, sparking the outbreak of human pandemic influenza. We don’t know when this will happen. But we do know it will happen.” (He didn’t say “might” or “maybe” – he said a pandemic “will” occur).

And if he is right and we do see another sizable pandemic –whether the virus is man-made or created by some natural, random reassortment of viral genes – my hope is that everyone will take a deep breath, exercise normal health precautions, increase their Vitamin D, A and E intake, get lots of extra sleep and remember the lessons from history so we do not repeat them.

PARADIGMS AND TEA PARTIES... AND DREAMS

By Marilyn M. Barnewall
May 2, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

People are worried about our government, our currency, our indebtedness. They are worried about losing their jobs and paying their bills. Most of all, they are worried about the direction in which they see America moving. It does not reflect their values or their dreams.

Dreams – yearnings – are very important. They are the critical element of change. They are part of the magic. Without dreams, people are unlikely to risk what they have today so they can change their lives. That is the basis of capitalism… of America and the American dream. It’s why it is important to direct your energy to positive achievement rather than wasting it on negative reaction.

If you think I just said you should ignore negatives, you misheard me. I said you should waste no energy on them… use energy to build up, not tear down.

I was talking with a friend Sunday night. He is a worldly man who has seen more than I will ever see… and I’ve seen a lot. He is an American who is a citizen of the world. He said, “I have literally seen people in other countries implement great change simply by willing it to happen.”

I know what he is saying is true because I have both witnessed and experienced it. The question we need to answer is: What positive outcome will I support each day with positive thoughts, beliefs and actions?

I frequently hear the words “new paradigm.” Business writers and economists like that term: paradigm (pare-ah-dime). They use it a lot. A paradigm is society’s model or perception of how things work – or, don’t work. The changes in American society are being wrought by changes in the economy which, in turn, impacts everything we do as a society.

We have been going through a paradigm shift – a fundamental change in the way things work in America – since the 1960s. I believe the result is a paradigm of what doesn’t create the best possible social order.

What does this new paradigm dictate? Abortion must be legal, God must be kept out of schools, teen sex and alternate sexual practices must be accepted, it’s okay to cheat if you don’t get caught and if it moves you forward in your world. People who label themselves as “progressives” offer this as social progress. Most of us do not agree.

It was in the early ‘60s that the technology, information and service economy began to dominate business. Society had to get rid of the engine driving the old economy so new high tech products could fuel and direct the nation’s economic direction.

Just as agriculture had to move aside as the primary economic drive of the late 1800s so industry and manufacturing could get behind the wheel, today industry and manufacturing paradigm must move aside to let technology drive the economy. We have to get rid of the industrial paradigm to move into the high tech paradigm.

Paradigms, like anything else, exemplify that for every equal there is an opposite. One of the most basic laws of our universe is that two forces of equal but opposing energy levels create balance. We have day and night; we have strength and weakness; love and hate and we have heat and cold. There are uncountable equal/opposite examples. For every equal, there is an opposite.

Technology has increased the productivity of the world exponentially. Suddenly Worker A became ten times more productive today than he or she was yesterday. That made it necessary to reduce the number of workers doing Worker A’s job.

Farm boys, used to rising early to work the fields all day, had to learn to stand on production lines in factories when we moved from an economy driven by agriculture to industry. Today’s city girls and boys must be educated in the use of computer technology to qualify for even basic word processing and cash register jobs. To go beyond entry level employment requires a much more sophisticated insight into technological applications. Thus does the economic paradigm impact the social core of the country. The entire value system gets redefined and restructured to fit the needs of what’s driving the economy.

All of the change brought to the marketplace by technology suddenly became big and powerful - more powerful than the energy created by industry and manufacturing. The values that grew up around our industrial base - the values that accompanied the old economic paradigm - began to disappear. New, more “progressive” values began to assert themselves. Suddenly, America was facing a paradigm change. Our fundamental way of doing things presented us with a new social and business order. A very large percentage of us don’t like the changes.

So far, it appears the paradigm standard is to remove more of our freedoms with a fascistic form of socialism. But maybe we need to look more deeply at alternatives. Remember, the world runs on the basis of balance created by opposites of equal strength fighting for dominance. Evil always fights good – and good always fights evil. The human race has known this since Genesis was written.

What I’m saying is there is not just one paradigm change out there fighting and trying to get your attention – and support. The paradigm that appears to be winning the fight – the evil paradigm – is getting all of the attention, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only new paradigm in the fight or that evil is going to win.

It is always difficult for good to fight evil because evil has the advantage of a no holds barred approach to conflict. Evil can do anything it wants because it has no constraints placed on it like “Thou shall not murder… and you can’t steal or lie, either.” Good cannot compromise with evil. When it does, it loses its “goodness.” If it gets down in the gutter with the dogs of social conflict, it will get the fleas that live in gutters. This is the weakness terrorists saw in America’s underbelly: Her goodness.

Sometimes, it is difficult to see the good paradigm working because it is very subtle. Evil builds its new paradigm based on no values. Thus, evil paradigms lack honesty, goodness, loyalty, caring, faith, family, positive traditions – and, yes, even dreams. And it is positive dreams that destroy evil.

How do I know a good paradigm exists? I know it because I believe in the laws of physics… though I personally prefer to think of them as the laws of Nature created by God. Those laws tell me that for every equal, an opposite exists. I also know it because I saw it displayed at the hundreds of tea parties held across the country on April 15th. The people who attended the parties are those who dare to dream positive thoughts – and do something to achieve the dream!

The people who attended tea parties didn’t just dream… they did something. They got off their butts and made a statement. That is how dreams overcome evil. The tea parties were not reactive as some people characterized them. They were proactive… they were taking a step that said to government: “Here’s a line you shouldn’t cross.”

If we watch carefully, we will recognize the sudden, inexplicable demise of something bad. Those who have thought very much about this phenomenon have come to understand that trying to make things “easier” rather than “better” has a moral price.

The people involved in the bad paradigm become lazy. “You don’t need to study for a test; cheat instead.”

They lie and commit fraud. “Well, no, I didn’t pay my taxes… but I still deserve to be named Treasury Secretary.”

They become arrogant. “I know what’s best… the dumb people out there don’t know what’s good for them.”

The point is, their paradigm eventually fails. No endeavor – including a paradigm – can exist without strength and strength comes from what most people define as “good.” Work, humility, commitment, fortitude… many things build strength. When tough times happen – and they always do – strength enables a paradigm to remain standing.

Through the rockets great glare, that flag was still standing. So says Frances Scott Keyes in our national anthem. It is the best possible example of why good, in the end analysis, triumphs over evil.

I believe we have two paradigms in play… one good, one evil. I believe in the end, the good paradigm will defeat the bad one. How much will we have to sacrifice to get from where we are to the positive paradigm? I believe that depends on you and on me. I believe that depends on our ability to dream our dreams, take actions each day to make them come to fruition, and pray hard that those currently in power will be made to see that the result of their evil paradigm will be unable to stand against a free people and their dreams.

The paradigm shift we are experiencing is the result of the move from an economy driven by industry to one driven by technology… a new social order has emerged, as a result. We cannot afford to forget that we are the ones who will ultimately determine how our social and business paradigms are structured. “They” want us to forget… that’s why we’re currently having one crisis right after the other. It’s part of the “divide and conquer” game plan.

One of the hardest things people can do is fight negatives with positives. It is so tempting to fight against something rather than fight for something… to be reactive rather than proactive.

That, however, is our task.

THAT DIRTY "S" WORD

By Jack H. Swift, Esq.
May 2, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

At all of the Tea Parties last tax day, there were a lot of signs and a lot of discussion about socialism. There was also a great deal of response from liberals and the liberal media to the effect that calling the current administration’s “progressive” policies “socialism” is simply a vile form of name calling. To them, “socialism” is simply a dirty word. Perhaps we need to see if the shoe fits.

Socialism or collectivism is simply a scheme or system of control. It is aimed at the control of social, community, and individual activities. It accomplishes this control indirectly by control of the community’s resources and directly by regulation of its production and the distribution of the rewards of production. The manner in which this control is accomplished can vary and that accounts for the various versions of collectivism: national socialism, fascism, and communism. All forms are inimical to traditional American values of individual liberty, freedom and private property.

Under Communism, control is accomplished through the medium of state ownership of all resources and enterprises for the production of goods. What social activities are not sufficiently controlled thereby, are subjected to rigorous regulation and regulatory enforcement. It encompasses the concept of the police state and ultimately depends upon slave labor.

By contrast, the national socialism so in favor in Europe, is characterized by state regulatory control of resources and production. Although actual ownership may remain in individuals or corporations, the state controls their activities by way of draconian regulation. In that scheme, the public is the subject of widespread and often intrusive bureaucratic regulation. Not in name a police state but effectively the same.

The fascism that the national socialism of Germany quickly evolved into became yet another police state exactly equivalent with that of communism. Key production activities and resources were nationalized and others were rigidly regulated. Thanks to Hitler, national socialism was also endowed with concepts of leader idolization, superiority of particular races, and ultimately slave labor.

The reason the patriots at the Tea Parties took such exception to the incremental socialization of our government is simply because they are jealous of their individual rights and see them threatened by this administration’s “ambitious” plans for our collective future.

Our nation was founded by Puritans, rugged individualists imbued with a unique Puritan ethic. That ethic placed the highest of values upon the individual’s freedom of decision and the accountability of the individual for the propriety of those decisions. The work ethic of the Puritans focused upon a need for the individual to be productive and it provided an appropriate mechanism for the reward of successful production. Although the original Mayflower Compact created a system of collective production and reward, that scheme was imposed upon the Puritans by their capitalist backers of the expedition against the will of the Puritans. It failed immediately, and the Puritans promptly adopted a system of free individual enterprise and reward that guaranteed the development of this nation. That system, combined with the cornucopia of resources with which we are blessed made the individuals of this nation the most prosperous the world has ever seen.

Key to the Puritan ethic are the concepts of individual freedom and accountability. The system rewards success. It punishes failure. On its face, the system is harsh. However, under the concepts of alms and charity, the ethic also promotes voluntary gifting for the unfortunate and downtrodden. But that is not a part of the system. The introduction of a mandatory reward of failure and non-production into the system, dooms the system to failure. The same system cannot serve two contradictory masters. Such a contrary system is absolutely self-defeating.

Beginning with President Johnson, our government launched itself into a system of control and manipulation of production that under the noble rubric of “welfare” called for the redistribution of the rewards of production. Those that were successful were taxed by the government for the purpose of redistributing those rewards to the un-successful and nonproductive.

In terms of a system of government, welfare has no place. It belongs in churches and voluntary charities. Its inclusion in government is simply one element of socialism: control of the distribution of the rewards of production.

Beginning with Nixon, the government responded to the wails of Rachel Carson and Paul Ehrlich and created regulatory systems establishing direct control of resources and production. In fact, limiting them. The Endangered Species Act has become the vehicle of choice to prevent the utilization of public and even private resources. The Environmental Protection Agency is the state regulation of production. The net results of these controls have been the deindustrialization of America. Great for pollution but disastrous for production. In tandem the ESA and the EPA are pure national socialism.

Back in Carter’s day, the government made provision for even more reward of nonproduction. Under the Community Redevelopment Act traditional loan qualification requirements for housing mortgages were scrapped. This was done in an interest to allow a greater percentage of specific ethnic groups to participate in home ownership. The result was that thousands of individuals without the capacity to pay for even so-called starter homes, stepped right up and acquired what you and I would call palaces. Today this administration wants our tax dollars to make up the difference between what they earn themselves and their payment obligations.

The BO team, Bush and Obama, have put us into an economic crisis akin to that experienced by Germany in the ‘30s and the response has been the exact same. We have seen government acquisition of ownership of our key financial institutions. We have seen state control of private industry to the extent of our leader personally approving or disapproving a management plan for our largest surviving industry - even to the extent of personally firing GM’s CEO. We have seen the declaration of an intent to control the compensation of employees of publicly traded private industries. (It is an eerie parallel that Hitler determined the German auto industry had to produce his concept of the people car. Also, East Germany managed all its auto production in a little box-shaped disaster.) The new GM plan apparently calls for government ownership of the controlling interest in GM. How can one possibly distinguish what we are doing from national socialism?

Our problems today are not a Democratic-Republican thing. Our problems are the result of well-intentioned bi-partisan efforts with unbearable unintended consequences. Step by goodintentioned step we have moved ourselves into a system of national socialism. All that we have proven is that socialism, even with the best assistance of capitalism, does not and cannot work.

Regrettably, the five pillars of Obama’s “ambitious” recovery plan announced today have not a single element aimed at the restoration of production as the basis of our economy. They are all aimed at expansion of government control, the expansion of consumption, and the safe comfort of the non-productive. That may be somebody’s idea of “fair” but it will not work.

COMPARING CLINTON'S AND OBAMA'S FIRST 100 DAYS

By Betty Freauf

April 19, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

Sean Hannity on FOX had a jigsaw puzzle featured on his set and each day for the first 100 days of the Messiah Barack’s presidency he planned to remove a piece and he wanted to see who could guess what it was. At about the 75th day, he had a winner. It was a picture of Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. The motto: “More of the Same” but allow me to share some of the differences from the Clinton’s first 100 days era.

We begin on 2/22/1993 when the Republicans leaders were going on television asking for a freeze in government spending “across the board…” But there are no checks and balances under President Obama with the Senate and Congress in the hands of the Democrats and the media, which our Founders gave the First Amendment so they could be watchdogs, failing to fulfill that duty.

Ellen Goodman wrote in her column on 3/12/1993 the “Tightwad lifestyle is catching on.” “Spending was out and sacrifice was in. It was time for Americans to start saving for the rainy day. The same people who were trying to raise their credit-card ceiling in the 80s were struggling to pay it off in the 90s. The same people who were parlaying one house into the next were trying to keep a roof over their heads,” she wrote. At the end of his presidency in 2008, George Bush and Treasury Secretary Paulson began bailing out what was assumed by taxpayers those who were not qualified to purchase a home in the first place and further bailouts under the Obama administration has led to nationalizing many banks and corporations. Americans were led to believe we had a “crisis” but the unemployment was worse when President Reagan took over from President Jimmy Carter’s failed foreign policies and 20% interest rates.

"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism..." --Karl Marx, Das Kapital, 1867.

Mitchell Locin and Carol Jouzaitis of the Chicago Tribune wrote on 4/29/1993 about Clinton’s first 100 days and how realities had dimmed the inaugural glow. The euphoria over a new administration ended quickly as President Clinton faced uphill battles in Congress and overseas. Clinton built enormous expectations by promising to focus on the economy “like a laser beam,” to end gridlock by “working with members of Congress regardless of party, to forge a principled foreign policy, to change business as usual in Washington, D.C.” “The president who beamed confidence on January 20,” they wrote “sounded almost beleaguered last week when he said, ‘I’ve tried to do everything that I said I’d do. I’ve confronted some different and difficult circumstances, but we are moving ahead.’”

Obama, the appeaser, flew to Europe to rebuild relationships he said were lost under the Bush Administration. He did something no previous American president has ever done. He sullied and insulted America’s good name and incensed most Americans, which probably helped with the huge turnout at the Tea Parties across America on April 15th, which Obama claimed he didn’t know about but I suspect Homeland Security cameras were registering faces and license plates of these “radical right extremists.” Now, if he didn’t know about the revolution coming at him full force and he doesn’t know about all those tax cheaters in his administration, how much else doesn’t he know and just how much did the voters not know about him.

The missile launched by North Korea with the capability to hit Alaska and the west coast with a nuclear warhead potentially killing millions of American followed Obama back to America. Iran’s fanatical president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is months away from acquiring a nuclear bomb. All of this is happening under the nose of President Barack Obama and his liberal fantasy of a nuclear free world. And, now with his blessing, his administration is revealing how our intelligence agencies gather information from captured enemies, which gives them a clear go-ahead for more terrorist attacks because the punishment is laughable! America doesn’t cut off heads.

A former Clinton adviser, Dick Morris, now a frequent guest on FOX, said when Clinton was governor of Arkansas he suffered from the Pent-up Idea Syndrome and now Obama seems likewise as he introduces new ideas with remarkable speed as though Satan himself was on his tail and much had to be accomplished in those first 100 days.

After 100 days, Clinton, as president, appeared subdued as he tried to defend his record insisting, “in this 100 days we have already fundamentally changed the direction of America.” But that was nothing compared to what Barack Obama has done. The euphoria of Clinton’s inauguration faded within 36 hours over the fumbled selection of an attorney general, quickly followed by an obstreperous GOP Senate ready to stand in the way of Clinton’s intention to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military. Clinton’s other blunders included his wife to head the restructuring of the health care system and later using our military to attack the Branch Davidian at Waco that caused the death of 17 little children in addition to adults. Have you noticed how bold the homosexual community has become since Barack Obama has been elected? Judicial activism in state after state is accepting gay marriages.

Obama fumbled for the first time in history the one misplaced word “faithfully” in the Oath of Office. In order to satisfy potential critics, the Oath was redone the next day with no Bible. It was held in the Map Room of the White House. No news reporters or photographers were allowed but an official photo, taken by the White House photographer revealed that the Oath was administered with Obama standing in front of a large portrait known as the “Great Architect,” responsible for the streets in Washington, D.C. being designed with esoteric symbols, occult pentagrams and streets crossing at angles of 33 degrees. His official title is the Supreme Architect of the Universe.

Washington, D.C. is an occult city filled with sex, power and mysterious deaths and it has become a city of barricades, fences, surveillance cameras, and radiation detectors. However, during the height of the Iraq war it was rumored that a person in Washington, D.C. was 25% more likely to be shot and killed than in Iraq so the humorous conclusion was: The U.S. should pull out of Washington, D.C.

The first thing Barack Obama talked about was raising taxes on the rich. On 5/12/1993 James E. Reinmuth, dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of Oregon said Clinton’s proposed tax increases as part of an economic package designed to simultaneously lower the federal deficit while improving economic growth would not spur recovery but might force our fragile national economy into a deep recession. The college Dean said Clinton’s entire recovery program seemed to be based on two myths that the rich were not paying their fair share and Reagan’s tax cuts were the major contributor to our massive deficit. Does that sound familiar?

Like Barack Obama, when Clinton’s popularity slipped in the polls, he shifted gears and began to rebuild popularity for himself by going on talk shows. Both Clinton and Obama began traveling and attempting to reconnect with voters. Clinton said one of the things they had to do was reform the political system and he called for tighter regulation of lobbyists. And later Clinton cast himself as an outsider and blasted “people in Washington who wanted to keep the status quo.” After his talk show appearance, Obama went to Europe to apologize for America being arrogant, dismissive and derisive followed by his trip to Mexico after the Tea Parties where he switched gears a little and told their leaders not to blame U.S. for the region’s woes. James 1:8 in the Bible says "a double minded man is unstable in all his ways" which makes Obama very dangerous and unreliable. While unemployment figures continued to mount, his next stop was the Summit of America’s in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad where he promised more pragmatism and less arrogance. His entourage to Europe amounted to 500 including staff, secret service, photographers, reporters, several polluting airplanes and different decoy limousines so no one knew for certain what limousine he’d be riding. Did they all follow him in his other travels?

Clinton vacillated making him looking like a greenhorn. Obama can’t speak an intelligent line without a teleprompter. Clinton flunked his first foreign policy test – the war in Bosnia – by not setting a sound policy and sticking to it. Didn’t Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, say Obama would be tested in his first 100 days? His first international test came with the Somalian pirates in the Indian Ocean with an American ship captain held as hostage. His willingness to denigrate America in his travels while appeasing our enemies will continue to make America an easy attack. Everyone waited wondering what President Obama would do. According to Sean Hannity at FOX, he had no choice. Military policies regarding piracy required intervention and U.S. Navy Seals sharp shooters got the job done leaving Obama with little praise.

Clinton created the AmeriCorp for young people. It is often associated with patriotism but incrementally could end up unconstitutional involuntary servitude. Now Obama comes along and he wants to have the National Senior Volunteer Corp changed to the National Senior Service Corporation which would give opportunities to seniors to help meet the unmet local, state and national needs written so vaguely that it could cover just about anything the President wanted including surveillance and help with the census.

A December 26, 2007 AP article indicated the city of Greenburg, New York was letting a 76-old lady with a $620 Social Security check, who suffers from arthritis and sciatica and needs a walker, work off her exorbitant property taxes of $12,000 a year at $7 an hour. She already had taken a reverse mortgage to pay her bills.

Another thing both Clinton and Obama had in common were their dysfunctional families, half siblings and Obama with an alleged illegal auntie living on welfare in America. He hung out with left-wing radicals who bombed buildings and for 20 years sat under the preaching of Rev. Wright who hates America – a country that has given ungrateful Barack and Michelle so much. Neither man had a father figure in their lives and Barack can’t even produce an original birth certificate proving he is a natural born citizen. Both Clinton and Obama are notorious liars. Another common denominator and probably the most important seem to be Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. Child molesters tend to look for children from single mothers and communists do likewise. Alinsky was a self-styled professional radical and organizer of the poor. He watched for young people to indoctrinate and groom.

The natural tendency of nearly all people is to encourage others to run for office but not get involved themselves but our Founders knew we could never enjoy a strong self-government unless people with integrity, boldness, and knowledge of the Constitution would step forward to take on the tedious, arduous, and sometimes unpleasant task running for elected positions in government but when these types step forward, the two party-system elitists keep them out and most of the vermin that get elected don’t read the bills; they bounce checks in their Congressional bank; they buy and sell offices with no shame; they have secret love children; there are mysterious deaths; they run male prostitution rings out of their apartments; they hire illegal housekeepers and gardeners; they use their powers to support special interest causes and protect their backsides while raising their salaries and providing many perks both while in office and after they retire. Those with integrity who try to expose the system end up in prison. The whole system has become a joke!

Jeffrey Tunick from The Washington Times on the Michael Savage radio show on 4/7/2009 said, “The U.S. is on the road to disaster, destruction and ruin unless they wake up to the fact that there is not only Jimmy Carter in the White House but something even worse” who has the same advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski. Tunick said, “We have an out-of-control crazed Marxist posing as some type of responsible world leader. Law enforcement, defense and intelligent officials have confirmed to the Washington Times our enemies have infiltrated our country and they are plotting terrorist attacks to bomb our bridges, our buildings, behead our women and children and destroy our shopping malls. In other words, they are here to unleash not one but multiple 9-11s."

In Washington they know they yield vast power and they call the tune but when things go sour, they face the music and sing with glee, those three little words, “Don’t blame me!”
