Time to plan for war

By Caroline B. Glick

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | So much for US President Barack Obama's famed powers of persuasion. At the UN's Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty review conference which opened this week, the Obama administration managed to lose control over the agenda before the conference even started.

Obama administration officials said they intended to use the conference as a platform to mount international pressure on Iran to stop its illicit nuclear proliferation activities. But even before the conference began, with a little prodding from Egypt, the administration agreed that instead of focusing on Iran, the conference would adopt Iran's chosen agenda: attacking Israel for its alleged nuclear arsenal.

Last week the Wall Street Journal reported that US officials were conducting negotiations with Egypt about Egypt's demand that the NPT review conference call for sanctions against Israel for refusing to join the NPT as a non-nuclear state. The Journal quoted a senior administration official involved in the discussions saying, "We've made a proposal to them [Egypt] that goes beyond what the U.S. has been willing to do before."

Among other possibilities, that proposal may have included a US agreement to appoint a UN envoy responsible for organizing a UN conference calling for the Greater Middle East to become a nuclear-free zone. In diplomatese, "Middle East nuclear-free zone" is a well-accepted euphemism for stripping Israel of its purported nuclear capability while turning a blind eye to Iranian, Syrian and other Islamic nuclear weapons programs. Egypt's demand, which it convinced more than a hundred members of the Non-Aligned bloc to sign onto, is for Israel to open its nuclear installations to international inspectors as a first step towards unilateral nuclear disarmament.

On Wednesday the US joined the other four permanent members of the Security Council in signing a statement calling for a nuclear-free Middle East and urging Israel, Pakistan and India to accede to the NPT as non-nuclear states. Following the US's lead, on Thursday Yukiya Amano, the new Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency wrote a letter to IAEA member states asking for their suggestions for how to convince Israel to sign the NPT.

So as Iran — an NPT signatory — makes a mockery of the treaty by building nuclear weapons in contempt of its treaty obligations, the US has actively supported Iran's bid to use the NPT review conference as yet another UN forum for bashing Israel.

It bears recalling that the primary goal of the NPT is to prevent nuclear proliferation. From the amount of attention Israel is receiving at the NPT review conference, you could easily get the impression that Israel's purported nuclear arsenal is the gravest proliferation threat in the world today. But history shows that this is nonsense.

Israel's alleged nuclear arsenal, which it has reportedly fielded for four decades, has not led to a regional nuclear arms race. Notwithstanding their protestations to the contrary, Israel's neighbors fully recognize that the purpose of Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal is to guarantee Israel's survival and consequently only threatens those who would attack the Jewish state with the intention of annihilating it. This is why although it is four decades old; Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal has never caused a regional nuclear arms race. It has never harmed or called into question the relevance or usefulness of the NPT's international non-proliferation agenda. Moreover, as a non-signatory to the NPT, Israel has the right to develop a nuclear program.

Iran on the other hand gave up that right when it joined the NPT regime. So too, in sharp contrast to Israel's alleged program, it is clear that Iran's nuclear project is aggressive rather than defensive. Consequently, it is universally recognized that if Iran becomes a nuclear power, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other states will begin developing their own nuclear arsenals in short order. That is, it is absolutely clear that if the NPT is to have any relevance in the coming years, if there is to be any hope that counter-proliferation regimes can be useful; preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons must be its signatories' chief aim.

But due to the Obama administration's diplomatic fecklessness and ideological blinders, administration officials were incapable of making these points. And so, instead through its actions, the administration has advanced the cause of nuclear proliferation. The US has now joined the ranks of fools who claim that nuclear weapons in the hands of states like the US and Israel are as problematic as nuclear weapons in the hands of states like Iran and North Korea.

But then, in the end it makes no difference that the US has followed Iran's lead at the NPT conference. Even if the administration had managed to make Iran's nuclear weapons program the focus of debate, it wouldn't have mattered because diplomacy is no longer a relevant tool for preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Appeasement has failed. Sanctions are dead in the water in the Security Council.

And even if the Security Council passes a sanctions resolution, they will have no impact on Iran's behavior. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made that much clear in his speech on Monday and in subsequent remarks to the media. As he put it, "While we do not welcome sanctions, we do not fear them either. Sanctions cannot stop the Iranian nation."

What all of this demonstrates is that the diplomatic track — from appeasement to sanctions — is irrelevant for contending with Iran's nuclear program. The only way to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear bombs is to use military force to destroy or severely damage its nuclear installations.

And this of course is something Obama will do. His begging-to-shake-hands policy towards Iran and the one hand and his iron fist policy towards Israel on the other makes it absolutely clear that Obama will do nothing to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Rather than correct his abysmal failures, Obama seeks to hide them by minimizing the seriousness of the threat.

In remarks to the media this week, a White House official downplayed the Iranian threat. He told the Financial Times that Iran's "nuclear clock has slowed down. They are not making dramatic technical progress given the difficulties they are facing in their [uranium] enrichment program and the fact that their efforts to build secret facilities have been disclosed."

The fact that the US's published intelligence estimates of Iran's nuclear program contradict this claim didn't seem to faze the official.

The US's abdication of its responsibility as the leader of the free world to prevent the most dangerous regimes from acquiring the most dangerous weapons means that the responsibility for preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons has fallen on Israel's shoulders. Only Israel has the means and the will to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. And the message the NPT follies convey is that Israel must develop contingency plans for attacking Iran as quickly as possible.

Daily reports of weapons build-ups and military exercises in Iran and among Iran's clients Syria, Hizbullah and Hamas expose the contours of their war plans.

Syria and Iran have armed Hizbullah with some 40,000 missiles and rockets, including hundreds of Scud missiles and guided surface-to-surface solid fuel M600 missiles with a 250 km range and. This week Hizbullah threatened to attack Israel with non-conventional weapons. Syria itself has a formidable chemical and biological arsenal as well as a massive artillery and missile force at its disposal.

As for Hamas, since Operation Cast Lead Iran's Palestinian proxy Hamas has expanded its own missile arsenal. Today it reportedly has projectiles capable of reaching Tel Aviv and beyond.

As for Iran, as its seemingly endless military exercises make clear, the mullocracy has the capacity to use conventional weapons to imperil global oil shipments from the Persian Gulf. So too, this week's report that Osama Bin Laden may have decamped to Iran in 2003 merely served to underline Iran's ability to utilize jihadist terror forces throughout the world.

From the open preparations for war that Iran and its clients have undertaken, it is clear that if they initiate the next round of fighting they will fight a four front war against Israel. That war will be dominated by missile attacks against the entire country aimed at breaking the will of the Israeli people while forcing the IDF to divert vital resources away from Israel's primary target — Iran's nuclear installations — to contend with Iran's proxies' missile stores.

As they consider Israel's options going forward, Israel's political and military leaders have to take two considerations into account. First, the side that initiates the conflict will be the side that controls the battle space. And second, there is a real possibility that the Obama administration will refuse to resupply Israel with vital weapons systems in the course of the war. The fact that Israel will be roundly condemned by the UN and its component parts is a certainty regardless of who initiates the conflict and therefore is irrelevant for operational planning.

Armed with these understandings, it is apparent that Israeli contingency plans for war must have limited goals and should be guided by the overarching aim of beginning and ending the war quickly. Luckily, Israel excels at limited, swift campaigns.

Responding to one of Syrian President Bashar Assad's recent threats, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman promised last month that if Assad attacks Israel, Israel will bring down his regime. While bringing about the utter defeat of Iran's regional proxies is a reasonable goal, it cannot be Israel's goal in the coming war.

In the coming war, Israel will have only one goal: to destroy or seriously damage Iran's nuclear installations. Every resource turned against Iran's proxies must be aimed at facilitating that goal. That is, the only thing Israel should seek to accomplish in contending with Syria, Hizbullah and Hamas is to prevent them from diverting Israeli resources away from attacking Iran's nuclear installations.

This means that Israel must launch a preemptive strike against Hizbullah's missiles and missile launchers, Syria's missiles, artillery and launchers, and Hamas's missiles and launchers. As for their short-range rockets, Israel should do its best to intercept them and otherwise hunker down to weather the storm of Katyushas and Qassams. Life of the homefront won't be easy. But it won't be impossible either, as we saw in 2006.

Almost every assessment of a possible Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear installations has assumed that Israel will use its Air Force to strike. All that can be said of that analysis is that, just as there is more than one way to skin a cat, so there is more than one way to destroy Iran's nuclear installations. An Israeli strike should utilize all of them to keep the Iranians off balance and on the defensive.

These are dangerous times. Iran, which seeks to position itself as a regional superpower, has been emboldened by the Obama administration's abdication of US global leadership. Only Israel can prevent Iran from endangering the world. But time is of the essence.

Obama: Millions Reaping Benefits From New Health Care Law

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama vigorously defended the new law, which passed Congress with no Republican votes and continues to stir strong emotions nationwide.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama said Saturday that millions of Americans already are reaping benefits from the new health care law, including tax breaks for some small businesses and help for families with young adults.

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama vigorously defended the new law, which passed Congress with no Republican votes and continues to stir strong emotions nationwide. He acknowledged that many provisions will not take effect for years. But he said others are helping some families now.

Four million small business owners and organizations have been told of a possible health care tax cut this year, Obama said. On June 15, some elderly people with high prescription drug costs will receive $250 to help fill the so-called doughnut hole in Medicare's pharmaceutical benefits.

"Already we are seeing a health care system that holds insurance companies more accountable and gives consumers more control," the president said.

Obama said Anthem Blue Cross dropped a proposed 39 percent premium increase on Californians after his administration demanded an explanation. He said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius wrote to all states "urging them to investigate other rate hikes and stop insurance companies from gaming the system."

A new federal agency will provide grants to states with the best oversight programs, Obama said.

His administration also is drafting a "patients' bill of rights" to give consumers information about their health care choices and rights, he said.

As of September, Obama said, "the new health care law prohibits insurance companies from dropping people's coverage when they get sick and need it most."

He said his administration will urge large employers to follow several insurance companies' example of allowing people under 26 to stay on their parents' employer-provided health insurance plans starting this summer, rather than having to wait until September or later.

"Ultimately, we'll have a system that provides more control for consumers, more accountability for insurance companies and more affordable choices for uninsured Americans," Obama said.

Republicans continue to attack the new law as too costly and ineffective. They vow to make it a major issue in the November congressional elections.

A new Gallup poll found that the law's enactment has not lessened Americans' concerns about health care costs. The poll found that 61 percent worry about the costs of a serious illness or accident and 48 percent worry about normal health care costs.

Exclusive: Chuck Norris warns of new front in battle against American gun rights

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

By Chuck Norris

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

(Editor's note: This is Part Two of a three-part series on the threat to the Second Amendment and Americans' firearm freedoms.)

I believe the political stars are aligning right now for the opening of a new front in the battle against our gun rights: via the election and work of an anti-gun president, the disarmament passions of the Washington majority and the United Nations, the appointments of gun prohibitionists from the White House to the Supreme Court and the funding of an anti-Second Amendment movement by billionaire progressives like George Soros.

In Part One last week, I discussed President Obama's anti-Second Amendment record and his administration's goals to use dormant treaties and global agencies to loosen the boundaries and binds of the Second Amendment. I wish to expand upon the United Nation's participation a little further in this second part of my trilogy.

In October 2009, the Obama administration reversed the position taken by the Bush White House by stating its support for a process that could, in 2012, result in an international treaty to regulate conventional arms sales. Of course, "regulate" is a euphemism here for "the beginning of banning."

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States would support the talks as long as the negotiating forum, the so-called Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty, "operates under the rules of consensus decision-making."

Without a single mention of the Second Amendment or America's sovereignty in her entire statement, Clinton said, "The United States is committed to actively pursuing a strong and robust treaty that contains the highest possible, legally binding standards for the international transfer of conventional weapons."

Amnesty International and Oxfam International jointly declared the action "a major breakthrough in launching formal negotiations at the United Nations." But do Americans really want or need the U.N. to tell us what to do with our guns with an international treaty? And when negotiating with other countries, do we really expect non-U.S. delegates to be conciliatory to America's unique Second Amendment rights? James Madison noted in the Federalist, No. 46, "The Constitution preserves 'the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation … (where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.'"

In 2006, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution titled "Toward an arms trade treaty." In 2008, the General Assembly passed another resolution, accelerating efforts toward an arms trade treaty. In both cases, the U.S. was the only opposing vote of 154 countries. Now, it would appear that Obama and Clinton have ordered our team of U.N negotiators to drop their opposition and move forward to develop "consensus."

With the Obama administration receptive and on board, the General Assembly (with the U.S. in complete compliance) is moving forward with a U.N. conference to produce an arms trade treaty in 2012 – perhaps sooner. In fact, the U.N. is hosting a major conference on this subject in June this year.

I would bet my finest pistol that rather than reinvent the treaty wheel the U.S. will propose wording (if not the entire document) from the CIFTA treaty. Of course, arms exporters China, Russia and Israel will again abstain, realizing (unlike U.S. officials in our recession) that limiting the trade of firearms is merely one more unwise economic move for what's left of our manufacturing base. (In 2008, the United States accounted for more than two-thirds of some $55.2 billion in global arms transfer deals.)

John Bolton, Bush administration ambassador to the U.N., explained last November (2009): "The administration [in Washington] is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there's no doubt – as was the case back over a decade ago – that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control. After the treaty is approved and it comes into force, you will find out that it … requires the Congress to adopt some measure that restricts ownership of firearms. The administration knows it cannot obtain this kind of legislation purely in a domestic context. … They will use an international agreement as an excuse to get domestically what they couldn't otherwise."

Unfortunately, President Obama and his administration would rather limit American's rights to keep and bear arms inside the borders – rather than stop contraband at our borders by proper patrolling and enforcement. Arturo Valenzuela, assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs, even told reporters in March that a bigger priority than the treaty right now is for both the U.S. and Mexico to "manage the border." If we properly "managed the border," there would be no need for a treaty!

Of course, any international treaty needs two-thirds the votes of the Senate to be ratified, and critics on both sides say there's no way that will happen. Again, Cato Institute scholar Ted Galen Carpenter spoke for many others when he said, "There is no chance of getting a two-thirds vote in the Senate to pass this treaty; it has too many implications for gun rights in the United States." I would respectfully beg to differ. Look how Obamacare was shoved through the Senate like a ramrod, even after the landmark election of "no" vote Scott Brown from Massachusetts. Believe me, if there's a will, they'll find a way.

Why the Constitution is so complicated to some, I'll never understand. Our founders ratified a Second Amendment as a right and defense for all Americans. There's nothing easy about defending your life. And taking a life is mega-tragic. But when your life is in danger, the Second Amendment provides for your and your loved ones' security.

Case in point: At the beginning of this month, Michael Lish and his wife arrived home in Tulsa, Okla., at 10 p.m. to find the back door ajar and a window open. Unbeknownst to the couple, the intruder in their house has been recently released from jail and had a history of drug offenses and driving under the influence. Michael had just entered his house when he heard a noise coming from the master bedroom. Once Michael neared the bedroom, the intruder, 19-year-old Billy Jean Tiffey III, approached Michael with a sword that he was in the process of stealing from the house. When Tiffey did not comply with his order to stop approaching him, Michael, who had a concealed weapons permit, pulled out his gun and shot him in the abdomen. However, the intruder dropped to his knees and reached behind his back, appearing to the homeowner as if he was reaching for another weapon (in addition to the sword, he was also packing a .38-caliber pistol, a 9 mm pistol, a knife and a stun gun). Michael had no choice – and he shot Tiffey two more times in the chest, killing him.

It was certainly an understatement of Thomas Jefferson, when he wrote to George Washington these words in 1796, "One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them."

Shummer60- Well the communism thing the president and he Dem cronies are forcing on the US is working so well! NOT

Venezuela annual inflation rate hits 30 percent

May 7, 11:19 PM (ET)

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuela's annual inflation rate has surpassed 30 percent after consumer prices surged in April.

The Central Bank and National Statistics Institute on Friday reported a 5.2 percent increase in consumer prices during April, driving up the annual rate to 30.4 percent.

President Hugo Chavez's government has been struggling against the highest inflation rate in Latin America and a weakening economy in general.

Prices increased 11.3 percent from January to April, up from 6.7 percent inflation in the same 2009 period.

Venezuela's economy shrank by 3.3 percent last year amid a downturn in its all-important oil industry. It's the nation's first recession since 2003.

The country imports most of its food, and Chavez on Friday announced the government will create an import-export corporation aiming to break with the private sector's "hegemony." It wasn't immediately clear how the new state entity would operate.

Chavez said wealthy Venezuelans involved in the import business "buy abroad, come here and ask for more than it really costs."

America - Governed by Organized Crime!

"For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy they do not judge. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?"

Jeremiah 5:26-31
"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill and desire to have, and cannot obtain: Ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

James 4:1-4
In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will once again use the Word of God as our compass and navigation system as we view the end times. We know that something is seriously wrong with the United States of America. Furthermore, we are continually warned by the many signs in God's creation that something is about to happen that has never happened before. We have an American tradition of freedom, liberty, and justice. We have the protection of the United States Constitution, which was designed to protect every individual from the government.

Quite recently, we have discovered how oppressive a government can be. The Obama Administration listens to no one except his invisible antichrist superiors. Every day we are seeing radical transitions and changes to which the vast majority of the people are opposed. We are clearly moving toward a communist one-world dictatorship.

The Bible verses above tell us of wicked and deceitful men who seize upon a people for total exploitation of their souls. Satan and his antichrist dictator demand complete allegiance in "their world." Their success will be temporary and short-lived because our Saviour will soon return to bring all things into judgment. If you are reading this and have not yet surrendered your life to the Lord Jesus, I urge you to do it now. Time is so short.

Marshalling the Forces of Antichrist!

While the United States of America is going through an incredibly obvious change toward dictatorship, the rest of the world looks on with great wonder. For the first time in modern history, many secular politicians and world leaders are using religious and Biblical terminology to describe what is happening. On March 24th, 2010, the London Daily Mail newspaper featured a shocking headline as follows: "Almost a Quarter of Republicans Think Obama May Be the Antichrist As Fourteen States Sue Over Healthcare Reforms." In Washington, D.C., the President is being compared to the Antichrist! (1) In a recent Harris poll, 57% of Republicans believed Obama is secretly Muslim, and 67% believed he is a Socialist.

As antichrist powers arise, every other kind of evil rises with it. We are living in a time of historic firsts as new and outrageous things continue to arise. On March 10th, 2010, Washington, D.C., gave its blessing to gay marriages, and leading the way were two female ordained ministers. (2) Countless others are to follow. Truly the spirits of Sodom are active in the capital of the United States. In addition to that, laws are now being changed that legalize both homosexual and bisexual activity between military personnel. The bill is being called the "Military Readiness Enhancement Act 2010." (3)

As spiritual waves of antichrist power surge across America, many people are left in a state of confusion in not knowing what to do. Many thousands have responded in protest with so called "tea parties." (4) In many cases, these protests receive very little news coverage. And as voices falling on deaf ears, the Obama Administration refuses to listen to the people, and our country becomes ever more unstable.

In addition to the distressing activities of Obama regarding the Unites States, we also see his peculiar foreign policies coming forth in order to reshape the international order. On April 9, 2010, Barack Obama, Russian President Dimitry Medvedev, and Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus met at Prague Castle and signed a nuclear treaty (5). While a nuclear treaty may sound like a good thing, we must remember that there are other nations that possess powerful nuclear weapons and that a treaty by definition is just a plan for another war. A treaty is an agreement between nations to come to the aid of each other if any one of them is attacked. This always ensures a much larger war. Who would have thought that the assassination of Franz-Ferdinand in Sarajevo would trigger World War I? It did so because of the treaties that existed among all the nations to come to each other's aid, creating a domino effect that devastated the world in the early years of the twentieth century. At the end of World War I came the Versailles Treaty in France, which guaranteed that the next war would be global as well. In fact, when British Representative Lloyd-George left the Versailles Treaty and reporters asked him what was accomplished that day, he answered, "War in twenty years." Exactly twenty years later, Germany began activities which were fomented into World War II. Such is the nature of a treaty.

On March 29th, 2010, the London Daily Mail newspaper featured an article stating that Obama sets his sights on merging Mexico and the United States. (6) It is being done in a very clever way and is really an offshoot of health care reform. Ever since the health care reform passed, the focus has shifted to modernizing our immigration system to provide health care for all illegal aliens and allowing them the freedom to pass to and from Mexico unrestricted. Thus, in effect, the American border would disappear if this is allowed to happen.

Another question that must be asked regarding the foreign policies of Obama is why he would grant offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico to Russia. Russia is moving further and further westward gaining continual leverage, and while Russia continues its western domination, the United States seems to shrink back into the obscurity of an uncertain future. (7)

Probably one of the greatest outrages of our time is a recent decision of Obama to order American troops to march in Red Square Parade, complete with posters of Stalin, on May 9th. The event is to mark the 65th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany. British, French, and American troops plan to march under the red flag in Red Square amidst countless posters of Stalin at the Kremlin. (8)

Health Care - The Devil Behind the Dream

As is always the case with any legislative act or project of the government, there is always an occult connection and basis for it. The recently passed national health care reform bill is certainly no exception. So much has been said about how it will bankrupt our country, dissolve our liberties, and force governmental interpretation of so-called health needs upon us. But looking beyond that as a former occultist, I can see some amazing signs that reach far beyond the realm of coincidence. When the first measure was passed, I had predicted it would happen during the occult witches' sabot of Yule, and right on cue, that's what did happen. Then with all of the debate, closed door sessions, and conspiracy regarding the final bill, I predicted that the final passing would take place on March 21st, 2010, which is the witches' sabat of Astarte. Sure enough, that's exactly what happened. (9) This left only one thing remaining to be done to bring it into law, and that was for the signature of the President of the United States. Obama wasted no time and signed it into law the very next day, which was March 22nd, 2010. If we look at the numbers of that date, 3-22, and if we know anything about secret societies and occult organizations, we will immediately recognize that the number 322 appears in bold numerals on the logo of the Skull and Bones Society. The Society of Skull and Bones is a small but powerful secret organization located on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. I have personally been there and have fought them with prayer on various occasions. Their letterhead and logo feature large skull crossbones and the number 322. This organization must have 322 members at all times. From this we know that the universal health care plan, which is now in effect, is truly a project of the Illuminati itself for the purpose of depopulation and the micromanagement of the bodies of every American. Another important point that must be made is that the date of March 22 is vitally important to the Illuminati because it is the day when the sun enters the sign of Aries, who is regarded to be the god of war, bloodshed, and turmoil. Another occult aspect regarding the signing of this health care bill on 3-22-10 is that when Obama signed it, he used twenty-two different multicolored pens.

It is becoming increasingly obvious to those who are watching and praying that those who are now in charge of our government are operating under the pressure of a severe invisible force, and to a great extent they don't know what they're doing. This is reflected in a statement made by Nancy Pelosi on March 10, 2010, when she said, "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy." (10)

If one is to explain the politics of Barack Obama, we would have to refer back to the Chicago underworld. As we look back in history to the early part of the twentieth century, there was a period of time when Chicago was the haven of every kind of racketeering and underworld activity. During the time of the Prohibition, Chicago was being shot up by the most notorious gangsters that ever lived. Their names are well remembered to this day: John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Dutch Schultz, Two-Gun Crowley, Frank Nitti, and the infamous Al Capone. It was Al Capone who fancied himself as a kind of hero of the people. Capone is famous for his statement that "some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Chicago was the very heartland of America, but those who engaged in business activities and owned stores and shops found that freedom, liberty, and justice were only idealistic words. Throughout the city there was gambling, prostitution, illegal stills, and speak-easies. One of the biggest games was called the "protection racket." The way the protection racket worked is that so-called "salesmen" would go into business and commercial districts. Going from one business to the next, they would ask to see the owner. The "salesmen" would compliment the owner on his business and then inform the owner that they would hate to see anything happen to interrupt his enterprise. The salesmen usually had a couple scars on their faces, pinstripe suits, and violin cases that did not contain violins. The store keeper was then told he must pay an insurance premium to prevent anyone from coming in and breaking up the place with violence and destruction. If the storekeeper paid the exorbitant payment on a regular basis, all was well. If not, trouble was guaranteed. It was the perfect sales pitch. Buy it or suffer consequences. We know from studying the Bible that there is a certain geography regarding evil spirits and how they operate. We refer to spirits of Sodom and spirits of Babylon, but there are certain types of spirits that have their roots of operation in one place and yet manifest their power in another place. At this present time, we have a President and much of his cabinet with roots in the Chicago underworld. Can any thinking person not see the similarities of operation between the Obama "syndicate" and the Chicago underworld? The health care legislation that was railroaded through is a prime example of invading not only business places but the lives of individual Americans with that perfect sales pitch "buy it or be fined and jailed."

There has been so much confusion regarding the new health care plan. Confusion is the very nature of politics. Politicians seem to have a continual presence of evil around them. The political oligarchy in America, including both Democrats and Republicans, is outspokenly opposed to deficits. Yet all we have are deficits. If all of the politicians stand against inflation and higher taxes, why are we constantly getting what they are supposedly standing against? The fact is that politicians are the only people in the entire world who create problems and then campaign against them. Senate majority leader Harry Reid surprised everyone during the December vote for the health care bill. After putting almost all of his time and effort into getting it passed, he stood up and voted against it! Of course, he quickly changed his vote. But how could such an obvious mistake be made by the forceful proponent of the measure? And yet during the March 22nd vote, he did it again, voting nay and then quickly changing it. (11) Such confusion at the outset of a project this large will certainly work its way into every phase and facet of health care. Destruction and failure are ahead, but so is the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Economic Changeover

While we continually hear that Wall Street is doing well, we know that the cities and states of our nation are literally crumbling economically. On March 12th, 2010, an associated press article revealed that Kansas City, Missouri, school officials determined that they must shut down half of the district schools by the start of classes in the fall. (12) In Detroit, Michigan, family homes are now selling for just ten dollars. The London Daily Telegraph recently reported in an article that the BBC revealed the horror story in a documentary called "Requiem for Detroit." According to Real Estate agent Tim Prophit, there were numerous homes on the market for one hundred dollars, but an offer for just ten dollars would likely be accepted. (13) All indicators now reveal that our current economy is breathing its last, and a new one will try to rise in its place. With it will come a new government because in all of recorded history no government has ever outlived its economy. On February 24th, 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, announced that it was bracing for a new wave of bank failures. The FDIC has recently placed 702 lending institutions on its list of problem banks. It is the insurance fund of the FDIC that safeguards the deposits of the people of America. Everything in this arena is now getting very shaky. (14)

The national debt level of over thirteen trillion dollars is beyond comprehension. On April 5th, 2010, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the Obama budget has brought the United States government close to the tipping point, and that tipping point is when the national debt reaches 90% of the domestic gross profit of the Unites States. (15) According to the Wall Street Journal, our U.S. Government's year-to-date deficit ballooned to a record 651.6 billion dollars in February. The February reading of 221 billion was the largest ever monthly deficit. (16) Now we have learned that on March 26th, 2010, the Federal Government CBO, or budget office, has now indicated that Obama's fiscal 2011 budget will rise to 90% of the gross domestic profit. (17) In short, we can't keep up with our debt.

The millions of Americans who are on Social Security of the United States will soon be in for another sad shock. The US Treasury Department plans to take social security money from the elderly for unpaid loans. Up until this time, no one could touch Social Security money, but the U.S. is not collecting debts owed to offsetting agencies. (18) The United States economy is suffering greatly on every side, and when the health care reform bill was passed, it sent shock waves through the major corporate world because all major companies and many small businesses will be forced to carry insurance for all of their employees. One example is AT&T, which stated that in the first year alone, 2010, the company will lose one billion dollars. With one stroke of a pen, that value disappeared from the company, just as billions more disappeared from other American companies and enterprises! (19)

Who Is At War With Whom?

For the past forty years, I have watched the illuministic and occult powers that run the governments of the world destroy this beautiful creation of God as they try to reshape the world according to satanic specifications. The Lord Jesus forewarned us in Matthew, chapter 24, that there would be wars and rumours of wars, and to this very hour, it is true. In any war there are protagonists and antagonists, but in recent history, many wars, battles, and strifes seem to be undefined. In reality these wars are not fought just among men. Wars are also fought among angels, and you can read about that in the twelfth chapter of Revelation. Ultimately, the great battle is between heaven and hell, and the real enemy of hell is the remnant people of the Lord Jesus Christ. We must know the enemy, and we must never be ignorant of his devices.

In the 1980's, I watched a strange phenomenon as jet airplanes began to release chemicals into the atmosphere in massive quantities. These chemtrails were much different than the narrow and dissipating contrails, and something strange was going on. The evidence was obvious as patterns appeared in the sky. Sometimes shapes like wheels with spokes and various other designs appeared. Some of the designs were occult in nature. On April 6, 2010, Avion News published a story regarding a commission that presented this problem to the European Union. While the people of the world were told to stop using their spray cans to protect the ozone layer, thousands of planes were spraying the skies with persistent milky veils due to the presence of barium, aluminum, and iron. (20) One of the primary problems with the chemtrails is that the substance eventually falls to earth, destroying the eco systems of our planet and causing upper respiratory sicknesses to many people. We know that Satan is called the prince of the powers of the air, and these activities are literally poisoning our planet.

On April 6th, 2010, the Pentagon requested another thirty-three billion dollars more for the war in Afghanistan. (21) This war in Afghanistan has been going on for nearly a decade with no progress, but, of course, that's the way they intended it to be. Our excuse for going into Afghanistan was based on the incidents that took place on September 11, 2001. This is the day when the towers came down and changed our nation forever, but we were not attacked by Afghanistan, nor were we attacked by Iraq. However, on the premise that the perpetrators were hiding there, the United States went in and began to systematically decimate those countries. Much propaganda and many lies came forth regarding the twin towers and who destroyed them. The conspirators know full well that when people are stricken with grief their emotions do not allow them to be completely rational, so the incidents and the propaganda were brought forth, and suddenly we had two major wars on our hands. Here let it be noted that on April 6th, 2010, the Intelligence Daily published a report by Joel S. Hirschorn revealing that one hundred million Americans are questioning and finding fault with the official 9-11 story. There were conspirators with an agenda that stood to gain from this manufactured tragedy, and without a doubt it was an inside job. (22) One thing can be said about Afghanistan is that the nation has prospered exponentially since our troops have walked across their soil. Afghanistan is now not only the world's largest producer of opium, but it has also overtaken Morocco as the top producer of hashish. (23) It appears a country's agriculture can do quite well with our armies protecting it. As amazing as this story is, it was published on March 21st, 2010, by the New York Times and the headline stated "U.S. Turns Blind Eye to Opium in Marjah." (24)

Unwitting Guinea Pigs

Truly it can be said that some of the most horrible and dreadful activities that ever came out of the perverted minds of men involved human experimentation. Those are words that you would probably expect to hear in regard to Nazi concentration camps, but the fact is these things are going on among the general population of the entire world all the time. On March 23rd, 2010, CNN News published a story that revealed a horrible tragedy. Thirty million kids got Rotarix vaccine tainted with pig virus. The FDA uncovered the pig virus while researching the vaccine produced by GlaxoSmithKline. The manufacturer quickly stated that the pig virus is not known to cause disease in humans. (25) Of course, there are many other problems with vaccines and high tech chemicals that are causing serious conditions. The February 2010 issue of the Journal of Modern Genetics revealed the following shocking headline: "Gender-Bender Chemicals Are Turning Boys into Girls." A 326 page report issued by the government of Denmark affirmed that endocrine disrupting chemicals are continuing to birth fewer males and causing the feminization of existing ones. Chemicals such as PVCs, flame retardants, phthalates, dioxins, PCBs, and bisphenol-A all mimic estrogen in the body. These are being blamed for falling sperm counts worldwide and fewer boys being born than ever before. These chemicals are literally feminizing the world. (26) Another incident of human experimentation was reported on March 11, 2010, by the London Daily Telegraph. The incident took place in 1951 in a quiet village in southern France, which was mysteriously struck down with mass insanity and hallucinations. Five people died, dozens were injured, and hundreds were inflicted. It has now been admitted that our own United States government Central Intelligence Agency spiked French bread with LSD. (27) It was an experiment to see the extent of reaction upon a small number of people before bringing it into this country where it became popular in the 1960's and 70's. We must also note that it was Dr. Timothy Leary who was used to introduce and distribute LSD. He made the statement that when you are on LSD, you are not hallucinating, but you are seeing another world that does exist. Dr. Leary said that the drug gives you the ability to cross the bridge to that other world, much like the crossing of the mythological river Styx to the land of the gods and goddesses. Thus the drug becomes a "bridge over troubled waters."

We know that evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived, and this is exemplified in a March 11, 2010 article by AFP News, which tells us of a new brain scan that can read people's thoughts. This is being researched by the University College London. (28) How long will Almighty God allow such things to go on? Certainly we are near the end!

The Earth Under Pressures

In recent months, we have seen the signs and wonders for which the Lord told us to watch, and they are happening on an ever increasing basis. In the past several newsletters, I noted the climbing number of earthquakes and how they are increasing also in intensity and frequency, just as labor pains come upon a woman with child. After decreasing slightly in the past few weeks, they're now increasing again. On March 9th, 2010, Okcular, Turkey, was hit by a strong earthquake. It happened in the early dawn, and within moments people were trying to climb through their windows and into the streets. It was a 6.0 earthquake with numerous aftershocks. We know that earthquakes in various places are one of the great signs of the end. Here let it be noted that earthquakes are rarely powerful enough to literally move and transplant an entire city. However, the 8.8 earthquake that struck off the coast of Chile in February moved the city of Concepcion ten feet to the west. (29) The word of God tells us in Revelation 16, verses 19 and 20, "And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found." This is a description of the final earthquake that will cause this present world to crumble, and all of these quakes that are now happening are leading up to this event. The U.S. Geological Survey lists earthquakes in thirty day increments. We know that the date March 15th, which is always known as the Ides of March, is ominous because it was the day that Julius Caesar was assassinated in Rome. It is interesting to note that on the Ides of March 2010 the U.S. Geological Survey posted exactly 666 earthquakes within the past thirty days of that date. (30) On April 4th, 2010, a 7.2 magnitude quake hit Baja, California, and was felt over much of the West coast of the United States. It was listed as a major quake because of the structural damage and widespread effect. (31)

Another great sign that we are near the end is the eruption of the great volcano in Iceland. This event took place on March 22nd, 2010. Countless tons of volcanic ash spewed for miles into the upper atmosphere over Iceland. This thick ash continued to pour out for many days, and since it is easily capable of choking out jet engines, airline flights all over Europe and the North Atlantic had to be canceled. (32) The Icelandic eruption is a stern reminder of something much greater to come. In Isaiah, chapter 64, verses 1-3, we read of how it will be on the day the Lord Jesus Christ returns to the earth. "Oh that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, as when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! When thou didst terrible things which we look not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence."

Not only is the earth trembling and shaking, but it is also being attacked from an invisible star. The economic Times of London reported on March 12, 2010, the strange story. Scientists have claimed that an unseen star five times the size of Jupiter is lurking near our solar system and is beginning to kick comets toward the earth. The star has been named Nemesis or the "death star." It lies just beyond the edge of our solar system. As this death star spins, it gathers destructive power. Professor John Matese of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette said that most comets come from some part of the Oort Cloud. (33)

In closing, I urge everyone to continue to pray without ceasing. If you have prayer requests and would like to send them to us, our intercessors will be more than happy to give them individual attention. My sincerest thanks to all who support this end time prophetic ministry. Grace and peace be unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

God's Judgment Cannot Be Stopped.
Posted: Monday, May 03, 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is little I can say that the Spirit of God hasn't already revealed to many reading this report. It is now obvious that God's Prophetic Word is moving upon us as the days of great sorrow now quickly close in on the whole of Mankind. Many are in denial and have decided to 'do' church as usual, while Preachers continue teaching the "easy believism" false gospel which merely tickles the ears of the congregations, with all of its heresy and man-made doctrines that are a stench unto God. This messenger, and many others, have been shouting from the wilderness that you must draw nigh unto God. The knowledge that is being shared with you will enable you to prepare, so that you will not only survive, but will be able to be a witness to those around you.. Many will be searching for the truth that will bring them through the terrible days just up ahead. The truth that will bring peace to the hearts of men while others perish as fear and torment overtake them.

We see the United States now paying a very heavy price for its treatment of Israel and for the sin that has engulfed the nation. I and many others have been amazed how such an evil man could have been elected as the President of the United States, but we will all soon know the answer. As Obama enforces the division of Jerusalem and the destruction of Israel, God's wrath continues to become more and more severe upon the USA....with.floods, environmental destruction, drought and storms;

Job 37:9-13

[9] Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
[10] By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
[11] Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
[12] And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
[13] He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

The Gulf of Mexico oil-spill will prove to be the worst natural disaster in the history of the USA - costing many billions of dollars and causing ecological damage which will take decades to overcome - if ever. The volcano in Iceland that brought England and most of Europe to its knees [for their declaration that the Temple Mount and the Western Wall are not a part of Israel and further, that they are within Arab territory!] is nothing compared to what is to come according to the frightening warning from God's Word of great tribulation for those who dare touch Jerusalem. As Obama continues to please his Islamic friends in his quest to destroy Israel, the worse the conditions will become in the US. You do not have to be a Prophet to know this! You may say to me, "brother Jerry, we have our own problems and what happens to Israel is no real concern of ours". A true Believer in Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) could never say that if he or she has read God's Word. Just read the scriptures below.....

Gen. 12:3

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Esther 4:13-14
Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this.
Isaiah 11:11-12

11] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
[12] And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

The greatest miracle anyone has ever witnessed is the re-gathering of Israel after 2500 years amongst the nations of the world. This miracle also set the stage for God's endtime Prophecies to be fulfilled. As we read above, according to Isaiah there is yet to be another, and larger ingathering of God's people back to the land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Every Believer who has been called to this Ministry knows, as I do, that time is running out for us to prepare to save as many Jews as we possibly can. There is still much to be accomplished in ground preparations and the purchase of the larger boat is so very important. Daily we thank God for those who have been obedient to God's calling and have sacrificed by giving to this Ministry. But now is not the time to stop - this is the time to reach deep and make the larger boat a reality before it is too late.

Both of the boats we now have required major servicing this Spring. The expenses amounted to more than we could afford - yet knowing that time is running out we had to ensure the vessels were ready to go into action.

Most military analysts believe Israel will experience a major war this summer. If that is so, it will be a call for this ministry to move out under the cover of the Rauch Hakodesh (Holy Spirit). You and I will lose contact at that time, but we will both know that we have done what we were called to do - save Jewish lives!

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

Shalom, Jerry Golden

'KEENER' WHIFF OF REVOLUTION

By Timothy N. Baldwin, JD.
April 28, 2010
NewsWithViews.com

Columnist, Alan Caruba, wrote a recent article entitled, “A Whiff of Revolution,” in which he generally describes the people of the United States as being fed up and disgusted with federal politics.[1] Caruba rightly compares the actions by the federal government (particularly under Obama) to the actions by Great Britain just before the America Revolution, stating that “[i]t is the antithesis of a nation of laws, a republic.” Caruba predicts that Americans will eventually take this matter of freedom back into their own hands once again:

“If, between now and the midterm elections, the President and Congress pass the Cap-and-Trade Act and an amnesty for illegal aliens, I SUSPECT THAT SOME AMERICANS MAY NOT BE CONTENT TO SIT BY WHILE STATES AND THE COURTS WORK THEIR WAY WITHIN THE CONSTITUTION. They will sense—and rightfully so—a despotism never before associated with the presidency.” (emphasis added)

Caruba makes some valid points in his article and accurately describes a feeling of revolution prevalent throughout the country. However, I believe that a more thoughtful analysis must be attributed to what a real and successful revolution will compose.

First, I must observe what I believe to be an underlying presumption in Caruba’s prediction of a revolution by the PEOPLE THROUGHOUT (all of) THE UNITED STATES. I have to assume Caruba’s prediction of revolution takes place on a nation-wide scale (in all fifty states) because he references “Americans” in general and simply leaves out the notion of “citizens of individual States.” To me, Caruba portrays a revolution where by the union of fifty states stays intact.

Caruba seems to indicate that if Obama signs into law certain bills (i.e. amnesty, Cap-and-Trade, etc.—a sort of “crossing the line” point) then the people will instinctively or cognizantly recognize they are under despotism and will respond accordingly, even without consideration of their State government. I do not share this belief. Rather, I believe freedom’s revolution will comprise of certain regions of the country under the leadership of certain states.

That the people (in whatever percentage is necessary to effectuate principles of freedom) in all fifty states will recognize that they are under despotism is simply not true. Just take a look at the last election and see who voted for the Obama—millions! Count these people out of any revolution movement against a system that they not only support, but love.

On top of that, many millions of these people receive direct benefits from the federal government and the system it has created: military, education, financial institutions, employment, welfare, grants, contracts, etc. With this direct interest, a large number of Americans will not participate in a revolution whatsoever. Thomas Paine recognized the same during 1776 as to the types of people who remained loyal to Great Britain:

“INTERESTED MEN, who are not to be trusted; WEAK MEN who cannot see; PREJUDICED MEN who will not see; and a certain set of MODERATE MEN, who think better of the European world than it deserves…[The moderate men] will be the cause of more calamities to this continent than all the other three.”[2] (all-caps emphasis added)

Those classes of people exist today in large part, and we see its effect today. Immediately in observation, we evidently find that a large number of coastal-west, mid-north and north-east states will not participate in freedom’s revolution, because they will not consider themselves to be under any sort of tyranny or despotism. They prefer (whether knowingly or not) socialism, big government, elimination of state powers, status quo, etc. These states would likely even preclude the possibility of a constitutional amendment some are advocating to “roll back” the federal government.

Even among the “Tea Party” movement, the idea of revolution is not altogether shared. Many of them simply believe that we should “vote the bumps out” or should use the (federal) court system to “regain freedom.” This mentality shows that they are federal-government-risk averse, likely and largely because they either believe that the federal government is “too strong” to resist (they say, “look at the Civil War: the federal government will crush our attempts to secede or resist them!”); that the federal laws are in fact supreme over state laws and thus, we must change the federal government to restore freedom; or that the union must be saved at all costs and so any State that resists and acts individually upon its own sovereignty is foolish.

People who believe that freedom must be obtained through the federal system causing their demise either will not likely consider themselves to live in despotism and revolt accordingly, or will not consider resisting the federal government individually or with a “mob of seditionists.”

I believe Caruba’s prediction involves a critical oversight regarding the state governments’ role in the revolution through its independent political power. One of the reasons that the founding generation insisted that the States retain their borders, integrity and a large portion of their sovereignty was to be able to resist federal encroachment and to govern themselves--even without the federal government.

Human observation, experience and nature confirmed the need for a Constitutional Confederated Republic to maintain smaller and more numerous and individual territories to most effectively secure freedom for each body-politic. Each state served as an entity unto itself to accomplish the ends of government.

So, what if a group of people live in a state where they have to contend not only with the federal government but also with their state government? What will those people do who live in a state where its state government assists the federal government in rounding up all those who have “revolted” against the federal government? In such a State, what you mostly have are a bunch of so-called seditionists who (to that State and the federal government) have created an insurrection, rebellion or unlawful overthrow of government and who now have no support from any internal government entity with the organization, force and rule of law for its citizenry, police and state guard/militia. For those people, mere survival would be the focus, not freedom.

Even if a state possesses people who understand they are living in despotism, they will likely be so overwhelmed and overcome by the state and federal government--not to mention the other people who view them as “terrorists”--that they will not be able to do what Caruba suggests: that is, forget their state government and go forth with revolution.

Compare that scenario with people who live in a state where the state government not only supports the revolution but also participates in and leads it. Caruba seems to suggest that there will come a time (in the near future) where the court systems will not be the way to go, and that the States will be wasting their time by using the court system as a tool of resisting tyranny. He is correct. I believe we are essentially at that point already. Something more is needed to protect freedom. Are all of the states doing that “something more”? Absolutely not.

A good indicator of which state governments will or may participate in the revolution is to observe which states are proactively resisting the federal government now through their own independent political process. Consider what some of the states are proactively doing to resist federal encroachment. Consider the very character, nature and mentality of the state government systems currently in place to get a better feel for which state governments will remain Tories and which ones Revolutionaries.

Arizona: passed a bill declaring that Obama must prove that he is constitutionally eligible to be President before Arizona will put him on the ballot in 2012;[3] signed into law its illegal immigration bill, which provides for the internal protection and integrity of its borders, culture, way of life and rule of law by enforcing state laws against illegal immigration.[4] Certainly, Oklahoma and Texas should follow course.

Montana: led the way by signing into law the Firearms Freedom Act, which expressly exempts certain gun manufacturing and purchasing within the state from federal regulations.[5] The states that have followed: Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, Utah, Arizona, and Tennessee.

Idaho: expressly exempted its citizens from having to comply with the federal health care law under protection and sanction of state law.[6] Virginia and Utah also signed into law this same resistance to the federal health care law. Other states are working on it.

Oklahoma: among other federal-resistance laws introduced and passed, to introduce a bill to create a State Militia for the expressed purpose of resisting the federal government and “securing a Free State.” [7]

Alaska: passed a law denouncing and resisting the National ID Act which requires every person in the United States to possess a federal identification for social and governmental purposes. Alaska is joined by other states such as Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina, etc. [8]

One need not be a political scientist, sociologists or philosopher to understand that the spirit of revolution is not a national matter, but is a state matter; that the spirit of revolution is not prevalent in every state, but only some states; and that it will not likely be successful in every state without the support of that state government. It is for this reason (in part) that would-be tyrants and are-tyrants hate the division of power, the independent and separate sovereignty of states and decentralization. It is for this reason that we should love it.

If this upcoming revolution is just a bunch of individuals chaotically doing who knows what, under the command of God knows who, having to fight state and federal tyrants as well as neighbors, then the centralists/nationalists/globalists have accomplished what they have attempted to accomplish since the tower of Babel by stripping away from the independent and several bodies-politic the power and means by which they secure their own freedom, liberty and rights.

However, I do not believe that is an accurate description of what the upcoming revolution will be. Freedom’s revolution will consist of individual states that understand what freedom and self-government are and what it means to protect that foundation.

I too smell the whiff of revolution, but the smell leads me on the trail of certain states.

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

Timothy Baldwin is an attorney from Pensacola, FL, who received his bachelor of arts degree at the University of West Florida and who graduated from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in Birmingham, AL. After having received his Juris Doctorate degree from Cumberland School of Law, Baldwin became a Felony Prosecutor in the 1st District of Florida. In 2006, he started his own law practice, where he created specialized legal services entirely for property management companies.

Like his father, Chuck Baldwin, Timothy Baldwin is an astute writer of cutting-edge political articles, which he posts on his website, www.libertydefenseleague.com.

ARIZONA STATE HAS IT RIGHT

By Chuck Baldwin

Open borders advocates are livid that the State of Arizona has enacted a new law authorizing State law enforcement personnel to arrest illegal aliens. The Reverend Al Sharpton is threatening to march. The mayor of San Francisco has declared Arizona off limits as a travel destination. The national government of Mexico has issued travel warnings. President Barack Obama is contemplating bringing a federal lawsuit against the State. Some are calling for a boycott of the State.

So, why all the fuss?

The State of Arizona is rightly sick and tired of the federal government's refusal to protect our nation (and the State of Arizona specifically) from this foreign invasion that is commonly referred to as "illegal immigration." In other words, the State of Arizona has said, "If the federal government won't enforce the law, we will." I say, good for them! Now, the other border states (Texas, New Mexico, and California) should do the same thing. Arizona has it right, and the vast majority of the American people know it.

As an aside, if you are considering a visit to the American Southwest this summer, why not support the brave legislators and governor of Arizona, and make a point to spend your leisure dollars in Arizona? And when you do, write a letter to the State capitol and tell them. Even more importantly, I suggest that everyone contact their own State representatives, senators, and governors, and urge them to enact a similar law--to the one Arizona passed--in your State.

And since the national news media refuses to set the record straight on the subject of illegal immigration (one could even say that the national news media is deliberately covering up the record), let's do that right here and now.

First, let's talk about numbers. Even though the Census Bureau (CB) estimates 11 million illegal aliens live in America, the real numbers are much higher. Even CB officials admit that many illegal aliens purposely avoid the census count. A more reliable count is provided by Bear Stearns. It puts the number of illegal aliens at around 20 million. Former US Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO), who was Chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, puts the number at over 18 million.

According to Tennesseans for Responsible Immigration Policies (TNRIP), 6,000 immigrants arrive in America EVERY DAY. That equates to more than 2 million EVERY YEAR. In many communities in the Southwest, including Los Angeles, California, and Houston, Texas, Hispanics now comprise a majority of the population. But numbers of illegal aliens are quickly beginning to mount in cities throughout the United States.

For example, TNRIP documents the fact that the Hispanic population grew in three Tennessee counties by more than 70% between 2000 and 2004. In one of those counties (Robertson) it grew over 95% during that time. In seven Tennessee counties, the Hispanic population grew by more than 40%. Now, Tennessee can hardly be considered a "border state." The fact is, what is happening in Tennessee is happening all over the United States. And lest you think this is all harmless, think again.

According to TNRIP, the financial cost of this foreign invasion to U.S. taxpayers is staggering! Here is a breakdown of the annual costs:

Education: $22.5 billion
Bi-lingual Education: $3.3 billion
AFDC: $2.4 billion
SSI: $2.9 billion
Social Security: $24.8 billion
Housing Assistance: $2.6 billion
Criminal Justice: $2.6 billion
Jobs Lost by Americans: $10.8 billion
Other Programs: $51.4 billion
Food Stamps: $7 billion
Health Care: $1.4 billion

The first study of the net cost of illegal immigration to American taxpayers was conducted in 1997 by Dr. Donald Huddle, Professor Emeritus of Economics at Rice University. This study concluded that from 1970 to 1997, illegal immigration had cost taxpayers over $69 billion. Obviously, the financial numbers have exploded since then.

Furthermore, during 1996 alone, more than 2.3 million American workers were displaced by (mostly) illegal aliens. Harvard Professor George Borjas estimates that today American workers lose $133 billion per year in wage depression and job loss.

Back in 2007 it was reported, "LA County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich announced that a new report shows illegal aliens and their families collected over $35 million in welfare and food stamp allocations in July.

"In the report, illegals are said to have collected nearly $20 million in welfare assistance for July 2007 and an additional $15 million in monthly food stamp allocations for an estimated annual cost of $440 million.

"'Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,' said Antonovich. 'In addition to $220 million for public safety and $400 million for healthcare, the $440 million in welfare allocations bring the total cost to County taxpayers that exceeds $1 billion a year--this does not include the skyrocketing cost of education.'"

Consider, too, this recent report by Heritage Foundation's Robert Rector. According to Byron York at National Review, "Rector found that in 2004, the most recent year for which figures are available, low-skill households received an average of $32,138 per household--the great majority in the form of means-tested aid and direct benefits. (Rector excluded from that figure the cost of public goods and interest; with those included, he says, each low-skill household receives an average of $43,084.) Against that, Rector found that low-skill households paid an average of $9,689 in taxes. (The biggest chunk of that was the Social Security tax--$2,509--followed by state and local taxes, consumption taxes, property taxes, and federal income taxes, but Rector counted everything, including highway levies and lottery purchases.) In the final calculation, he found, the average low-skill household received $22,449 more in benefits than it paid in taxes--the $32,138 in benefits, excluding public goods, minus the $9,689 in taxes.

"Taking that $22,449, and multiplying it by the 17.7 million low-skill households, Rector found that the total deficit for such households was $397 billion in 2004. 'Over the next ten years the total cost of low-skill households to the taxpayer (immediate benefits minus taxes paid) is likely to be at least $3.9 trillion,' Rector writes. 'This number would go up significantly if changes in immigration policy lead to substantial increases in the number of low-skill immigrants entering the country and receiving services.'"

See York's column here.

It has been noted that 75% of people on LA's most-wanted list are illegal aliens. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are here illegally, and roughly 30% of inmates in the federal prisons are illegal aliens.

In addition, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegals from south of the border. According to Tancredo, gang membership by illegal aliens in many states is 50%, and in Phoenix, Arizona, illegal aliens constitute 34% of child-molestation and 40% of auto theft cases.

Furthermore, illegal aliens murder (on average) 12 Americans EVERY DAY, according to Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa). Plus, illegals that drive drunk kill another 13 Americans EVERY DAY. That means illegal aliens kill more Americans EVERY YEAR than have been killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in total.

See the report here.

Of course, Arizonans are still reeling from the recent high profile murder of a fellow citizen on his own property by an illegal.

Law enforcement agencies are very much cognizant of a surge in Latin American "ultra-violent" gangs that have sprung up in more than 40 US states. According to the FBI, one gang called MS-13 has been identified in 42 states. Another group called the 18th Street Gang is in 37 states. According to FBI MS-13 National Gang Task Force director Brian Truchon, "When the gang migrates throughout the U.S., there is always a road back to L.A. From L.A., there is always a road back to Central America."

Retired lawman Jim Kouri wrote, "According to Lt. Steve Rogers, a decorated cop and award-winning writer, there are tens of thousands of murderers, rapists, child predators, robbers and drug dealers who are illegally in the United States. One study shows over 200,000 criminal aliens are preying on U.S. citizens."

What the Arizona law does is authorize its law enforcement personnel to ENFORCE THE LAW. No one in Arizona is talking about racial profiling or violating citizens' constitutional rights. In fact, the new Arizona law actually mirrors already established federal law. But the federal government has hamstrung State and local police agencies in their attempts to arrest illegals for decades. Now, Arizona policemen can arrest illegals for being in the State of Arizona illegally, and have them deported: something they should have been doing (and have every right to do) all along. No wonder the vast majority of the American people (not to mention the citizens of Arizona) supports the Arizona law.

But there is a greater issue here: the right of the State of Arizona to protect, defend, and govern itself. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the State sovereignty movement is growing like a wildfire. Whether it is Arizona, Montana, Idaho, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Alaska, or a couple dozen other states, legislators are beginning to awaken to the constitutional and moral responsibility of each State to govern itself. And when the central government in Washington, D.C., abridges or impedes that responsibility, it is the right and duty of states to resist.

This is why I tell people everywhere I speak, What is going on in [Your State] is infinitely more important than anything that goes on in Washington, D.C. Without the approbation of the State, DC's actions and attitudes are irrelevant. This is why we need county sheriffs, State legislators, State judges, State attorneys general, and governors who--along with their State's citizenry--understand the Constitution and are willing to courageously hold the line for freedom and constitutional government in their respective states. And by passing this anti-illegal alien bill, the State of Arizona did just that--the chagrin and consternation of open borders advocates notwithstanding.

'Absolutely, there will be more attacks in New York'
Muslim extremist warns America: Times Square just the beginning

Younus Abdullah Muhammad

A Muslim extremist who earlier warned that TV's "South Park" creators should be "afraid for their lives" for insulting Islam's prophet Muhammad now says that yesterday's car bomb attempt in Times Square will be just the beginning of a new wave of terrorist attacks.

Younus Abdullah Muhammad, author of RevolutionMuslim.com, told WND senior reporter Aaron Klein on New York's WABC 770 AM that America should "absolutely" expect more jihadi violence in New York City.

When asked if the Times Square attack was specifically aimed at the offices of nearby Viacom, which owns the "South Park" series, Abdullah Muhammad deflected the question to condemn U.S. foreign policy instead.

"It was a retaliation for what your government is doing overseas," Abdullah Muhammad said. "If you want to continue killing civilians, then you're going to get many incidents that resemble what happened yesterday."

Read more of Aaron Klein's startling discoveries in his book, "Schmoozing with Terrorists: From Hollywood to the Holy Land Jihadists Reveal their Global Plans – to a Jew!"

As WND reported, RevolutionMuslim.com last month warned there is a "very real possibility" that "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone will end up murdered like Theo Van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker killed by an Islamic extremist in 2004 after making a film critical of Islam.

The website then issued a statement pointing out the Islamic punishment for mocking Muhammad is death, prompting Klein to ask if such words constituted incitement.

"We do not condone nor condemn terrorism," Abdullah Muhammad answered. "There is no relation between our organization and these attacks."

Still, Abdullah Muhammad predicted, "There will be a lot more terror attacks in the Unites States. Probably you should bring your imperial overstretch home before you're destroyed. ... Stop trying to police the world. Nobody likes you people."

Most of the testy interview consisted of a debate over whether Abdullah Muhammad's words constituted incitement to violence.

"Where did I tell somebody to go blow somebody up?" Abdullah Muhammad challenged, asking Klein to then explain how his words could be taken as encouraging the New York City bomb attempt.

"If I said that 'probably' you would be murdered," Klein explained, "and then I put out a five- or six-paragraph document on why you should be murdered – which is what you did about the 'South Park' creators on your website – and then a week later somebody independently tries to murder you, then yes, I should be held responsible and you should be held responsible."

In turn, Abdullah Muhammad argued, "We made a prediction before the 'South Park' episode was even aired, and then we made a clarifying statement that said, yes, under Islamic law, if a person insults the prophet it is permissible for them to be killed. But we are not saying that the creators of 'South Park' should be killed; we are saying that we are conveying what is permissible under shariah law."

Abdullah Muhammad also told WND last month that his site was not issuing threats against the "South Park" creators, but was pointing out the Islamic punishment for mocking Muhammad is death.

"As for the Islamic ruling on the situation, then this is clear," read the statement from Abdullah Muhammad's site. "There is no difference of opinion from those with any degree of a reputation that the punishment is death. Ibn Taymiyyah a great scholar of Islam says, 'Whoever curses the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) – a Muslim or a non-Muslim – then he must be killed ...' and this is the opinion of the general body of Islamic scholars."

The site called for Parker and Stone to "understand the tastelessness of their portrayal, apologize and reflect on the words that follow."

The site, however, stated, an apology "might not remedy the situation, but it would go a long way toward turning this situation from a gaping wound into an ugly scar."

After their initial threats, WND asked specifically whether Stone and Parker should fear for their lives. Abdullah Muhammad replied, "Isn't that what the post said? That there will probably be some form of retaliation."

RevolutionMuslim.com is known for its support of the ideology of al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden.

In February 2009, WND reported the website issued a series of videos targeting the New York headquarters of Chabad, a Jewish outreach movement, just two months after the group was rocked by a deadly terrorist attack in Mumbai, India.

Videos posted on the website also asked viewers to "give the Islamic message" to Yeshiva University, a Manhattan-based Jewish college, as well as "Jewish Federation buildings all over the U.S." in response to the institutions' purported funding for Israel amid its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The apparent threats resulted in a New York Police Department investigation and a beefed-up police presence outside the Chabad headquarters.
