<strong>Is a solar virus coming to plunge the world into chaos?</strong></div>

<em>(Note from Nathan Jones: I found this recent article by August Rosado of <a href="http://www.lamblion.us/2013/08/www.todayinbibleprophecy,org" target="_blank">Today In Bible Prophecy Ministries</a>
a fascinating read. August is a good friend of Lamb & Lion
Ministries and a frequent guest on our television show "Christ in
Prophecy". While it's pretty clear that the current administration
listens to a lot of bad advice, how they act on that advice is
inherently important to us all. August ties some connections together
based on the Snowden leaks and presents a possible outcome based on what
will eventually be fulfilled prophecies. Whether what's supposedly soon
to occur with the sun will result in these prophecies being fulfilled
remains to be seen, but the article makes one think of the many possible
scenarios that will launch the Tribulation.)</em></div>

<div align="justify">
<br /><strong>Fear of a Solar Flip</strong></div>
<div align="justify">
Edward Snowden, the most wanted man on earth today,
continues to leak information as he enjoys asylum under the protection
of Russia. He has bounced from country to country seeking refuge and
fleeing US prosecution. There is a $1 billion dollar bounty on Snowden
to bring him back to America to face charges of espionage.</div>
<div align="justify">
Snowden also leaked information to the British newspaper, <em>The Guardian</em>, about the US eavesdropping known as Prism. He told <em>The Guardian</em>
that the US government was spying on other countries via eavesdropping
on phone conversations, email, and search engines. The US government was
not only eavesdropping on European Allies, but on unsuspecting American
citizens as well. </div>
<div align="justify">
Snowden made another remarkable revelation in which
he said that the Obama Administration fears a raging pandemic due to
solar storms that may very well alter life on this planet as we know it.
Snowden provided Russian authorities with a USB flash drive that
contained information from the Ministry of Health. This report contains
20,000 pages from the US State Department's 2004 shocking report, in
which President George Bush said, "Climate change over the next 20 years
could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in war
and disasters; that disruption and conflict will be endemic features of
this life and concluding that once again warfare would define human
life."</div>
<div align="justify">
Glen Greenwald, an American reporter in Brazil, said
he also has the 20,000 pages of Snowden's leaked top US classified
secrets. He is afraid to release them because of the Obama's
Administration's "open kill order" on those who leak those files. </div>
<div align="justify">
The MOH report said that this coming fall or winter, a
massive reversal of the sun's magnetic field would not only severely
effect our weather and radio transmissions, but would also genetically
create mutant deadly viruses. This coming "solar flip" will kill
millions in an apocalyptic-type catastrophe.</div>
<div align="justify">
A report released in 1990 by two British scientists,
said that solar activity (sunspots) were related to every incident of
viral influenza epidemics and pandemics in human history. Snowden
released documents that reveal dangerous type viruses like Influenza A
H7N9 and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED). These have killed millions of
pigs in the US this year and show no sign of stopping.</div>
<div align="justify">
The Snowden leak also revealed that the US government
purchased 1.5 billion rounds of ammo in 2012 and will purchase another
1.6 billion rounds in the next four to five years. The Obama
Administration fears "social anarchy" will develop as tens of millions
of Americans die and the economy collapses due to what the MOH says will
be, "the worst pandemic disaster in human history."</div>
<div align="justify">
Folks, this story is not from some Christian fiction
or some sensational prophecy website, but from the Ministry of Health
themselves, and what they are saying is a page right out of Bible
prophecy.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /><strong>The Coming Judgments</strong></div>
<div align="justify">
Revelation chapters 6, 9, 15 and 16 speak of a global catastrophe upon the world that will result in a global holocaust.</div>
<div align="justify">
<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Revelation 6.8" data-version="nasb95" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Revelation%206.8" target="_blank">Revelation 6:8</a> speaks of a fourth of mankind being killed just from the first four Seal Judgments.</div>

records the Sixth Seal Judgment which results in a devastating
earthquake, the sun being blacked out (black as hair, John says), and
the moon becoming as blood, probably due to nuclear fallout.</div>
<div align="justify">
The Seventh Seal Judgment in <a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Revelation 8.1" data-version="nasb95" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Revelation%208.1" target="_blank">Revelation 8:1</a> contains another series of sevens to hit the earth — the Trumpet Judgments.</div>

says the third of trees and grass was burnt up, and verses 8-9 tell us
that a great mountain burning with fire (possibly a large missile of
some sort in great size) will contaminate the sea killing all fish life.</div>
<div align="justify">
<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Revelation 8.10" data-version="nasb95" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Revelation%208.10" target="_blank">Revelation 8:10</a>
records the Third Trumpet Judgment as a star falling from heaven
hitting the drinking waters. This is possibly a nuclear missile
re-entering earth's atmosphere and polluting the drinking water. Verse
11 calls the star "Wormwood," and in the Russian language they would
call Wormwood "Chernobyl."</div>
<div align="justify">
<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Revelation 8.12" data-version="nasb95" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Revelation%208.12" target="_blank">Revelation 8:12</a> records the Fourth Trumpet Judgment as the sun, moon, and stars are blacked out, possibly due to radiation fallout.</div>

speaks of the Bottomless Pit being opened, spewing such thick black
smoke that it blots out the sun and decreases the oxygen, which will
suffocate people. Only nuclear fallout can create such a devastating

those people who took the Mark of the Beast. Radiation can cause severe
burning and blistering boils on the human body. Verse 3 again records
the oceans being contaminated and killing all sea life. Verse 4 records
all drinking water being contaminated and killing men.</div>
<div align="justify">
Verses 8-9 speak of men being scorched with fire. Again, they could be severe burns due to intense heat from a nuclear blast. <a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Revelation 16.10-11" data-version="nasb95" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Revelation%2016.10-11" target="_blank">Revelation 16:10-11</a>

denialMy next set of articles are not for the faint of heart. If you
desire to keep on burying your head in the sand, then go watch the NFL
Draft. Of course, if we do not collectively wake up the majority of
sheep which inhabit this country and motivate them to action against the
globalists, the acronym “NFL” will soon come to mean Not For Long. And
“Not For Long” will soon represent how long the sheeple of this country
can keep their heads buried in the sand as the country disintegrates
into total chaos. No amount of cognitive dissonance, normalcy bias and
general apathy can protect even the most unaware of Americans as to what
lies in their immediate future. The solvency of the Federal Reserve is
being threatened and to understand the roots of the coming world war and
the roll out of tyrannical martial law, over this issue, I need to take
a brief look at the historical underpinnings.<br />
The Birth of the Petrodollar<br />
A novel system for monetary and exchange rates were established in
1944. The Bretton Woods Agreement was developed at the United Nations
Monetary and Financial Conference held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire,
from July 1-22, 1944. This conference established the US dollar as the
reserve currency of the world.<br />
The Banksters (e.g. Rockefellers’) reveled in their new found
fortune. As a result of the Bretton Woods Conference, all nations
desiring to purchase Middle East oil had to first purchase dollars and
use these dollars to complete the purchase of oil.<br />
Nearly everyone inside of our country benefited from this system.
Americans basically enjoyed a stable currency minus the inflation rates
of about 5% per year which served as an informal tax that went into the
Federal Reserve banksters’ pockets. Thus, the Petrodollar was born. If
the Petrodollar were to ever be successfully undermined, our currency
would sink faster than a submarine with screen doors because there is
nothing backing up our money.<br />
The old guard at the Federal Reserve worked from 1910 to 1971 to rid
the economy of the Gold Standard so that they could enforce debt slavery
upon the American people and government through encouraging a prolonged
out of control spending spree accompanied by the awarding of lucrative
unbid contracts to the elite’s corporations which would dramatically
drive up the deficit and line the pockets of the Federal Reserve owners.
<br />
The coming war with Syria is merely the opening act. The main act,
following Syrian subjugation, will consist of the United States and
Israel and perhaps England attacking Iran. Iran is the prize needed for
the old guard of the Federal Reserve to maintain its strangle hold on
the global economy. On the surface, attacking Iran seems like a good
idea if it will preserve our economy. However, the risks associated with
this course of action are astronomical.<br />
Why Every American Should Fixate On This Issue<br />
starvationThe Petrodollar is in real trouble and so is your bank
account, your job, your ability to get gas, medicine, food and water.
America is literally a push button away from the total calamity that we
see in the NBC show, Revolution. In many eyes, the Petrodollar must be
maintained at all costs.<br />
On the Precipice of WWIII<br />
Syria is the first real domino in the coming conflict that threatens
all life on this planet. The take down of Egypt and Libya was mere
foreplay. The real action will commence in a few months with the
invasion of Syria and the excuse will be to save humanity from Syria’s
weapons of mass destruction, namely, chemical weapons. Hmmm, isn’t there
a DHS chemical weapons attack drill planned for either Denver or
Portsmouth next month? But I digress, this issue will be fully exposed
in a subsequent complementary article in this series.<br />
Make no mistake about it, America is headed towards war with Syria
and don’t think for a second that this war will imitate, in any way, the
wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan. The previous wars compared to Syria,
and later with Iran, is child’s play compared to anything we have been
involved with in the history of this nation. The “saving the
Petrodollar” strategy being pursued by the Federal Reserve is a high
stakes gamble with you, your children and the future of humanity being
used as their collateral. <br />
Proof that the coming war is imminent is evidenced by the accusations
being currently made by the US government that Syria is using chemical
weapons against the rebels. In this fabrication of the Syrian version of
the Boston Marathon bombing false flag event, it is likely that if
there are chemical weapons in play, the CIA is the responsible party.
Why? Because all roads to Tehran run through Damascus. Iran is the
actual target of the Federal Reserve’s war intentions, because Iran is
doing the unthinkable as it is waging war on the old guard of the New
World Order, by selling its oil to Russia, China and India for gold and
this is a dire threat to the solvency of the dollar.<br />
First Syria, Then Iran<br />
map of syria and iranBefore one can invade Iran, with the threat of
Russian intervention looming, Syria must first be occupied and fortified
by US/NATO forces. Occupying Syria allows America and her allies to
invade Iran from several directions. Through Syria, we will see
airstrikes which will fly unimpeded over Northern Iraq. Also, and most
importantly, the occupation of Syria will be a threat to the
mobilization of forces inside of Russia who would then come under the
American long and short range missile batteries, which will be installed
in Syria. These missiles will surely be armed with battlefield nuclear
warheads. This deterrent could provide the Americans with enough time to
occupy most of Iran before Russia or China could act with its
conventional forces. This strategy, however, dares the Chinese and
Russians to not invoke the use of large scale nuclear weapons in the
biggest game of chicken ever played on this planet.<br />
The Unexpected Twists and Turns of the Coming World War<br />
I do not expect China to attack the US in the Middle East, at least
not at first. I expect the Chinese to move on Taiwan and let the North
Koreans launch its nuclear missiles against Japan. It is possible that
Russia might further invade the US through Alaska.<br />
fear aheadI never thought that elements of the Red Dawn scenario
would ever come to fruition, but how many times have we seen the media
tell us what is going to transpire in advance of an event? And while we
are at it, I would anticipate that China would approach the
Southwestern underbelly of the United States via Central America, given
that the Chinese control the Panama Canal and are rumored to have troops
throughout Central America, including Mexico. And if things really go
crazy, all sides may launch its ICBM missiles and their submarine based
nuclear missiles at each others homeland and then all bets are off.
Perhaps, you now know why I constantly refer these criminal banksters
who have hijacked our government as psychopathic.<br />
Iran Is Public Enemy Number One<br />
Because of Iran’s threat to the Petrodollar, Iran occupies a similar,
but much more dangerous position than did Iraq in 2001. As we now all
know, 9/11 provided the motivation to invade Iraq. No, Iraq was not
responsible for the 9/11 attacks and President Bush did admit as much.
But that did not prevent Bush from capitalizing on the emotion from
9/11 so that America would confuse the issues and tacitly accept the
invasion of Iraq in which the Iraqi’s were lumped together with all
Middle Eastern nations who “want to kill us because of our freedoms.”<br />
petrodollarSpecifically, why did Iraq have to be invaded? Simple,
Saddam Hussein was attempting to sell his oil in currency other than
Federal Reserve Notes (i.e. the Euro). He was threatening the Federal
Reserve and at that time, he was also a threat to the central bankers in
their headquarters, otherwise known as the Bank of International
Settlements, which controls all central banking. During that time
frame, these banksters would have done anything at that time to prevent a
threat to the world’s reserve currency, namely the dollar, which they
controlled.<br />
Following the completion of the second Iraq war, Exxon and BP
controlled 80% of Iraqi oil fields and nobody would be selling Iraqi oil
in either the Euro or for gold. However, the game has changed, Iran has
replaced Iraq as the major threat to the stability of the Federal
Reserve Notes.<br />
Iran is economically destroying the US. Unfortunately for every man,
woman and child in America, that day of economic reckoning is quickly
approaching. China has commenced buying Iranian oil in gold. India has
followed suit, as have the Russians. The days of the Petrodollar are
numbered and therefore, so is the only source of backing of our dollar.
Have you and your family prepared for the collapse of the dollar and
ultimately the collapse of society? It is coming and it coming fast.<br />
The Russians and the Chinese Have Warned the US<br />
President Hu<br />
Creating the pretext for fighting a war, and then successfully
selling the American public on the need to fight the war, is one thing.
However, winning the war, is quite another. How serious are the Chinese
and Russians at standing up to the imperialistic United States?
Considering that both Chinese President Hu and Major General Zhang
Zhaozhong have threatened the United States with nuclear war if they
invade Iran, the prudent opinion says that this is the newest version of
the “Axis of Evil’s” line in the sand, has been clearly drawn.<br />
The Dawn of the American Empire<br />
America is in a very difficult dilemma. If we acquiesce to the
Russian and Chinese threat of war for invading Iran, our dollar will
collapse. If we attack Iran after taking over Syria, the nuclear powers
with formidable armies have promised retaliation. America could see its
first invasion on American soil since the War of 1812.<br />
It is possible that the Americans will only invade Syria in a game of
brinksmanship with the Russians and the Chinese, in order to test
their resolve (e.g. a game of military chicken). However, I don’t think
that is likely. The Federal Reserve will not back down. They have
already killed Gaddafi and Hussein in order to preserve the Petrodollar.
They are not going to back down to the Iranians, Chinese and Russians
because it will not be their children doing the fighting and dying, it
will be our children. Now, does it make sense on why the elite are
driving down the price of Gold so they can buy up as much as they can
for as cheaply as they can? They intend to be the last men standing at
the end of the next great war to end all wars.<br />
And just how will the elite sell us on war? You can bet there will be
more false flag events, with each one being more horrific than the
previous one. And guess who will get the blame? It does not take a
rocket scientist to accurately speculate that the last of the false flag
events will be nuclear and then all hell will break loose.<br />
Conclusion<br />
It is clear, it is hands off Iran or it means WWIII. Does anyone
really think that the Federal Reserve is going to take this lying down?
Could the path to WWIII be the reason that so many bankers have left the
United States because they know what is coming?<br />
police brutality 6<br />
How do the false flag events tie into this? One hint I will offer is
that once you understand the globalist objectives, the Boston Marathon
bombing and the aftermath of martial law will make a lot of sense. What
will the accompanying martial law look like in this country? The last
question is the easiest to answer, because the government has left a
trail of documents which details how martial law will enforced and it is
frightening. In the next several installments in this series, I will
answer all of these questions and perhaps a little bit more.<br />

America following down a path which could culminate in the government
carrying out acts of genocide against select members of its population?
There is increasing internet “chatter” which addresses this topic and
many are beginning to discuss the possibility for the first time. I
began to wonder the same and began to actually research the patterns of
genocide in an attempt to determine if America is in trouble. </span></div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The
fundamental research question associated with this paper is as follows.
“Is the United States moving down a predictable path towards genocide
based upon Stanton’s thesis.” </span></div>
</blockquote>
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Brief Summary of the Stanton Genocidal Thesis</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">In 1996 Gregory H. Stanton presented a </span><a href="http://www.genocidewatch.org/images/8StagesBriefingpaper.pdf" target="null"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">briefing paper</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">
to the State Department which included the eight stages of genocide.
Stanton postulated that genocide is a process that is predictable, but
is not necessarily a linear process. The stages of genocide do unfold in
both a predictable and chronological order. Further, earlier stages
continue to operate even as the process continues to progress. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Stanton
identifies the eight stages as classification, symbolization,
dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination
and denial. Subsequently, I researched where America is at in reference
to these eight stages. The following paragraphs are the result my
research. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Part one of this series examines the first four stages of classification, symbolization, dehumanization and organization. </span><br />

asserts that all cultures categorize people into “us and them” groups.
The divisions are often made by using the variables of ethnicity, race,
religion and nationality. Examples from history include Germans and
Jews, Hutu’s and Tutsi’s. Bifurcated societies which lack mixed
categories, such as Rwanda and Burundi, are the most prone to having
genocide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">America
is in the process of giving back the progress made by such pioneers as
Martin Luther King. Blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians and Native
Americans are increasingly polarizing away from the common theme that we
are all God’s children in which most of us share our unique American
heritage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">The
Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case typifies the increasing division
between blacks and whites as Obama threw fuel on the fire by commenting
on a local criminal investigation and inflamed the racial feelings
associated with the case. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">Illegal
aliens have been another source of divisiveness and the intense
animosity was best exemplified through the controversy of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SB 1070. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">We
exacerbate the divisions among our people in the welfare debates. With
47% of the country on some form of public assistance, there is a growing
resentment among workers who feel they are supporting bums who will not
work. Accurate or not, the division is growing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">Younger
police officers no longer see the general public as their ally. Rather,
they are trained to see all civilians as the enemy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
short, America has no shortage of classifications which are being used
to divide and conquer. On this point, America has met the first criteria
on the road to genocide. </span><br />
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Stage Two: Symbolization</h2>
Sociologists and anthropologists tell us that classification and
symbolization are universally common to every society. However, it is
reaching alarming levels in contemporary America.<br />
<a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/02/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-1/obama-racist/" rel="attachment wp-att-3140"><img alt="obama racist" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3140" height="350" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2013/05/obama-racist.jpg" width="272" /></a>I
was never an Obama fan. However, I thought his election had
demonstrated how Americans were no longer going to divide themselves
along racial lines and we would begin to truly carry out the meaning of
Constitution and work together to solve our problems. Unfortunately, the
opposite has happened. The races are further apart than ever before.
For example, we hear phrases which serve to differentiate individuals.
For example, I see reference to terms such as the “African-American
community, or the Latino Community, or the Asian Community.” It is never
the “White community” because that would be considered to be racist.
when actually, it is Obama who is promoting racism.<br />
What is a black community? I know black people who live in my
community. They do not live in some gated community for only black
people. I work with people from all ethnic and racial backgrounds. They
don’t come out of some ethnic or racial enclave to join me at work. We
are neighbors and often friends, yet, the establishment media and their
labels are serving to create damaging symbols which are creating
unnecessary tensions between various groups. The present terminology is
deceptive and divisive and serves to separate human beings who might
otherwise get along.<br />
Someone who is a homosexual has to be labeled in sexual preference
terms. Why? Why should we care what people do behind closed doors? Isn’t
that for God to judge? Judge not lest you be judged. But the corporate
controlled media has polarized gays from straights, blacks from whites,
citizens from illegal’s, and on and on and on. Why create the symbolic
differences? When one is robbing someone blind, they often distract them
by creating imaginary enemies, vilify each side with symbols which
degrade the polar opposite. Welcome to the divided nation that is
America.<br />
America has entered into the hyphenated race wars courtesy of the
globalists and their controlled media. One just cannot be a respectable
black person who is an American. He/she has to be an African-American.
One cannot enjoy the pride of being from a Spanish speaking country,
they have to be labeled a Mexican-American. My father’s family is from
Germany, and I am not labeled a German-American. Why not? Because
German-Americans, Italian-Americans, French-Americans are overwhelmingly
white. The symbolism of skin color differences are not there and the
globalists cannot gain any traction through hyphenating European
descendents. Why can’t we just all be Americans without the hyphens?
Because the globalists use this as a vehicle to divideand conquer. I am
not minimizing the validity of celebrating the merits of one’s own
cultural/racial background, regardless of ethnicity and skin color, I am
espousing the virtues of finding a common American identity to better
facilitate our mutual cooperation in solving our problems. However, that
is not the globalist agenda. They seek to keep us distracted, keep us
divided by destroying our sense of nationalism, through this artificial
symbolism, and the day will come when all of us hyphenated people will
never know what has hit us and we will unfortunately lack the common
identity to band together against the forces that seek to enslave us.<br />
We even condition our children to accept symbolic labels as schools
make student wear RFID student cards or face suspension. The airports
have become the symbolic manifestation of the enslavement of the
American people as we are being conditioned to being groped and sexually
assaulted by the TSA, and their blue uniforms and pot bellies are
symbols of how we are to be treated by the government.<br />
America meets the second criteria on the path to genocide.<br />
Classification and symbolization do not always result in genocide unless they are followed by dehumanization.<br />
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Stage Three: Dehumanization</h2>
<blockquote>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">“Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists”</span></i></b></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">George W. Bush</span></i></b></div>
</blockquote>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Who
will ever forget this inane statement by one the most intellectually
deprived persons to ever serve in the White House? Bush’s message was
simple, if you disagree with the government, you are a terrorist. In
contemporary American society, this is the ultimate dehumanization as it
is the 1950′s Red Scare version of being labeled a communist. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Today
the list of dehumanized individuals has increased a 1000 fold as the
MIAC report and the recent DHS intelligence briefing are dehumanizing
veterans, Ron Paul supporters, Second Amendment supporters,
Constitutionalists and Libertarians as domestic terrorists. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The
above mentioned groups are not Americans, DHS is labeling them as
sovereign citizens who lurk around every corner ready to set off a
deadly biological, chemical or nuclear attack. This is total
dehumanization. The TSA’s grabbing of our genitals is total
dehumanization and we are allowing ourselves to be conditioned, lock,
stock and barrel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Sociologists tell us that </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">dehumanization
overcomes the natural barriers against the urge to murder. Media hate
propaganda is removing the last barriers to this natural prohibition.
America is well on the way to being conditioned to accept genocide as a
matter of national policy.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">Genocidal
cultures lack constitutional protections which would protect contrary
speech. In genocidal cultures contrary speech should be treated
differently and we are seeing this with the state of Minnesota as they
will soon be requiring veterans to have their former military status
noted on the drivers license. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">America
has mostly completed the third stage of genocide, the dehumanization of
anti-governmental groups and selected enemies of the state. </span><br />
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">Stage Four: Organization </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">Genocide
is always carried out by the government. They often using militias to
provide deniability of state responsibility, but genocide is always
state sponsored. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">At this stage, plans are made for genocidal killings. Do we have such plans in the United States? Why yes we do!<br />

<br />

Stanton. Originally presented as a </span><a href="http://www.genocidewatch.org/images/8StagesBriefingpaper.pdf" target="null"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">briefing paper</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">
at the US State Department in 1996 in which he postulated that there
are eight discreet and overlapping stages which a society passes through
on the way to manifesting genocidal behavior. <a href="http://http//www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/02/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-1/">Part one </a>of this series discussed the first four stages. This part of the series discussed the fifth stage, polarization. </span><br />
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt;">Stage Five: Polarization</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Stanton states that
in stage five, extremists drive the groups apart and begin to broadcast
polarizing propaganda. The corporate controlled media does a wonderful
job of doing just this very thing every single day. Immediately, after
the bombs were exploded at the Boston Marathon, one of the major CIA’s
mouthpieces, Wolf Blitzer speculated on air if the bombs were detonated
by a “patriot group”. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Further, the media
would have one believe that anyone who wants a real investigation into
Sandy Hook is a “conspiracy theorist”, as if investigations are somehow
an extremist act. Since 95%+ of the major media is owned by the
globalists, should we be surprised that the media is a tremendous
polarizing agent?<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Also in stage five,
Stanton postulates that extremist operatives target the moderates from
one’s own group in order to eliminate any derivation of the mission from
within. Generally speaking, moderates are in a position to be the most
able people capable of stopping the coming genocide. Therefore, anyone
who is perceived to not be on board, are the first to be marginalized,
arrested and killed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Although Obama is
not presently murdering dissenting moderates within his ranks who are
not on board with his brand of tyranny, he is purging senior officers in
the command ranks of the military for the slightest disagreement with
him. .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />

<div class="wp-caption-text">
The Late Ambassador</div>
</div>
<span class="size-full wp-image-1849">Last fall, Obama purged two
senior command officers in the Middle East in a potential war zone, thus
risking these very commands. Subsequently, Obama needlessly endangered a
large portion of the military in favor of establishing his absolute
dominance over his subordinates. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="size-full wp-image-1849">Obama fiddled, with regard to
the threat at Benghazi, and subsequently, Ambassador Stephens was
murdered. The former commander of AFRICOM, General Carter Ham, and the
commander of Carrier Task Force Three, Admiral Charles M. Gayouette,
were fired when they attempted to rescue Chris Stephens in violation of
their orders. However, the reckless and unprecedented action of firing
these commanders came at a critical time in the Middle East as the US
was making hints at attacking Syria and Iran at the time. Despite the
high levels of tension in the Middle East, Obama was willing to
sacrifice military leadership to purge two commanders who refused to be
his accomplice to the murder of Ambassador Stephens. <span style="color: black;">In addition, </span></span><a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-balan/2012/11/12/cbs-touts-gop-talk-benghazi-coverup-notes-petraeus-promoted-spontanei"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">General Joseph Dunford</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">,
the Marine Corps’ second in command, suddenly stepped down as well,
presumably because he also took issue with idly standing by while a
group of barbarians raped and killed an American ambassador. Further,
CIA Director, David Patreaus was fired during the same time frame for
having an extramarital affair. Nobody, but the CNN Kool-aid drinkers,
believes the official explanation for the Patreaus departure. Obama has
purged 17 senior level officers.Soldiers who attempt to rescue and
ambassador against orders, might be hesitant to give the order to fire
upon unarmed American citizens when given the directive from the
President.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Although
Obama is not murdering the moderates under his command, he is removing
them from positions of power nonetheless and as such, is accomplishing
the polarization he desperately seeks. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/02/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-2/civil-disobedience-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-3168"><img alt="civil disobedience" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3168" height="182" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2013/05/civil-disobedience.jpg" width="277" /></a>Stanton’s
genocidal theory presupposes that all polarization emanates from the
government. However, polarization can be a two way street. If the
government, through a series of provocations, such as passing extreme
gun control/gun confiscation legislation, can force the people to take
to the streets, the same objectives can be achieved. In other words, is
the current administration pushing a sizable number of citizens to react
violently? Is Obama trying to force America into a winner take all
civil war? Before you would say no, I would invite you to decide for
yourself as you take a look at the April 28th poll run by </span><a href="http://publicmind.fdu.edu/2013/guncontrol/final.pdf"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Farleigh Dickinson University’s Public Mind Poll. </span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Registered
voter participants were surveyed on whether they believe it will
necessary to revolt against government in order to protect our
liberties. The results are stunning and are revealed below.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-no-proof: yes;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-no-proof: yes;"></span></div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/02/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-2/public-mind-poll-rebellion/" rel="attachment wp-att-3167"><img alt="public mind poll rebellion" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3167" height="151" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2013/05/public-mind-poll-rebellion.png" width="580" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">These
results are indeed quite telling in that 30% of surveyed registered
voters feel that an armed revolution is may be necessary in order to
protect our American liberties. Over 44% of Republicans answered yes,
while only 18% of democrats answered in the affirmative. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Polarization
can occur at several levels and the Obama administration, at the behest
of his puppeteers, are doing a marvelous job of polarizing the country.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Therefore,
I have concluded that this administration is in the process of meeting
the fifth goal of polarization. This process is not completed but it
definitely is a work in progress. </span><br />

the fifth goal of polarization. This process is not completed but it is
definitely a work in progress. </span><br />

far, this administration’s report card, is five for five, with regard
to the first five stages of Stanton’s blueprint for America’s coming

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Parts <a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/02/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-1/">one</a> and Part <a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/02/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-2/">two</a> of this series examined the first five stages which lead to genocide under the Greg Stanton <a href="http://www.genocidewatch.org/images/8StagesBriefingpaper.pdf" target="null">briefing paper</a> presented to the State Department in 1996 in which he postulated that genocide progresses through eight states. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, and most disturbingly, the United States fully meets the criteria for the first five stages.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Part three of this
series examines the sixth stage in this paradigm, Preparation. The
specific research question is, “Is the current administration actively <span style="text-decoration: underline;">preparing</span> to prepare the means to carry out genocide against a segment of its citizenry?”</span><br />
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Stage Six: Preparation</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/02/14/is-it-time-to-pack-your-bags-america/expat-9/" rel="attachment wp-att-2453"><img alt="expat 9" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2453" height="301" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2013/02/expat-9.jpg" width="168" /></a>In
the preparation stage on the path to genocide, potential victims are
identified and separated out often because of their ethnic or religious
identity. Sometimes, the death lists are created because of political
beliefs and political affiliation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">History show that he
process of creating death lists is normally secretive and incremental
in terms of implementation. At first, the intended targets are merely
listed as “people of concern.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Specific
members of potential victim groups are required to display identifying
symbols. This is usually followed by the expatriation of property. This
is subsequently followed by forced segregation under the color of
discriminatory law. Victims are often to forced to live in segregated
ghettos, are deported to a concentration camp or are confined to a
famine-struck region and are starved to death. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Are these things happening in America today and do our citizens have any cause for concern in this area?</span><br />

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2012/12/25/ex-feds-and-wall-street-execs-are-going-into-hiding-why/dhs-fascism-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-1667"><img alt="dhs fascism" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1667" height="180" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2012/12/dhs-fascism1.jpg" width="180" /></a>Ron Trowbridge, an undersheriff with the Prowers County, Colo., Sheriff’s Office detailed a presentation, on behalf of <a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/04/08/dhs-vs-christians/" id="FALINK_3_0_2">Homeland Security</a> (DHS) in which <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/colorado">Colorado</a>
State Patrol Trooper, Joe Kluczynski, gave a two hour presentation on
the “sovereign citizen” movement. The message was clear to all in
attendance. If Christians take the Bible too literally, they should be
considered to be a domestic terrorist threat under the label of what DHS
is referring to as being a sovereign citizen.</span><br />
<div style="background: white; mso-line-height-alt: 10.2pt;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Lt. Col. Rich<a href="http://www.adfmedia.org/files/ExtremismPresentation.pdf"> warned his subordinates</a>
to not back down from “bad Christian behavior” for “when they see
behaviors which are inconsistent with Army values, don’t just walk by.
Do the right thing before it becomes a problem.” Further, the warning
has been given to flag Christians and put them on no buy lists for guns.
Rich’s briefing dovetails with the same kind of anti-Christian rhetoric
recently presented to Colorado law enforcement officials in La Junta,
Colorado in which <a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/04/08/dhs-vs-christians/">Christians were prominently displayed in as domestic terrorists if the take the Bible too literally</a>. </span></div>
<div style="background: white; mso-line-height-alt: 10.2pt;">
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The
Pentagon should change their name to the Pentagram as the military has
confirmed that they have eliminated the free exercise of religion as
proselytization is not permitted on military bases. “Religious
proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense,” <a href="http://christiannews.net/2013/05/01/atheist-military-organization-asks-pentagon-to-court-martial-soldiers-who-share-faith-with-troops/">spokesperson Nate Christensen stated</a>.
Atheists, like the majority who are in charge of the environmental
movement at the United Nations have no equivalent restriction. The
United States government is officially in the business of religious
discrimination and First Amendment is now officially dead. </span></div>

The Attack On Veterans</span></h2>
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/04/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-3/raub-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-3176"><img alt="raub" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3176" height="195" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2013/05/raub.jpg" width="259" /></a>If
the government ever decided to enact a policy of national genocide,
veterans would be America’s first line of defense. They would have the
ability to organize and train their local community to resist the
impinging tyranny. They would be the leaders of any guerrilla war
movement, which surely would characterize any resistance movement. </span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Veterans
are presently receiving letters from the Veterans Administration which
state that they must submit to a competency hearing (Editor’s note:
without probable cause) and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">“A
determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing,
possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you
knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined,
imprisoned, or both pursuant to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention
Act, Pub.L.No. 103-159, as implemented at 18, United States Code
924(a)(2),” the letter reads. This is a blatant attempt to disarm the
majority of veterans all across the country in a concerted effort to
neuter the last line of defense against the encroaching wave of tyranny
sweeping this country.</span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">For
the sheep who cling to the false hope that the government would never
do this to a veteran, the Connelly VA letter can be viewed <a href="http://static.squarespace.com/static/4f34530ecb12e336a9dfe29c/t/5127fe2ae4b0706f4bc5fa50/1361575466089/VA-letter%20Copy%20by%20RedFlag%20News.pdf">here</a>. </span><br />
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The
Minnesota Department of Motor Vehicles, which hopes to have the policy
implemented by 2015, cites an inherent mental health threat by veterans
as their main reason for devising the plan.</span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">“We’ve seen what these savages are capable of all over CNN and </span><span id="qwiklinxid0"><span class="stwlink1"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">MSNBC</span></span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">,” says DMV director, Greg Olson. “Out of all the millions of </span><span id="qwiklinxid1"><span style="color: #366388; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">men</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">
and women who have deployed to combat zones this past decade, there are
literally a dozen, perhaps even two, who have come home and committed
atrocious acts. That’s way too big a chance. We can’t risk having these
people hidden in our community and will be making sure they’re easily
identifiable to law enforcement personnel and citizens in general.”</span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The
new policy commands law enforcement personnel, once they have contact
with a suspected veteran to ““Phase One will consist of the officer
identifying an individual’s vet status on his or her driver’s license,”
he says. “Once the officer realizes what he or she is dealing with,
Phase Two will kick in and they will immediately unsheathe their pistol
and drawdown on the potential psychopath. Then, at Phase Three, the
officer will be given free reign to search the individual’s vehicle for
weapons and dead bodies. If, and only if, the officer doesn’t find
anything, then he will subsequently release the veteran and thank them
for their service.” It is time to a civics quiz boys and girls.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Make
no mistake about it, Minnesota’s unconstitutional and criminal actions
against veterans is the equivalent to handing veterans an ID marked with
the J stamp as it is the proverbial bulls eye on the back. And please
allow me to re-emphasize, that without armed veterans, any resistance
against a move to commit government sponsored wholesale genocide against
selected American groups is doomed to failure. America needs it
veterans to protect the country from this administration. They are the
modern day equivalent of the Minutemen and this is their Lexington and
Concord. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Detention Camps</span></h2>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Stanton
mentioned that as a prelude to extermination, dissidents and other
undesirables must be rounded up prior to extermination. Why not kill
them where they stand? It is for the same reason that the Gestapo and
Stalinists rounded up the majority of the Jews and political dissidents
in the wee morning hours. No witnesses!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There would be no visible signs to alert and possibly panic the general population that a massive genocide was underway.</span></div>

Ventura did an excellent job of exposing the three necessary elements
and features of the detention camps which include the actual existence
of the camps, proper staffing and legislative support for FEMA camps.
They are political prison camps plain and simple and the evidence is
convincing.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">This
is double sourced information and yet, there will be some who will
minimize the proof that the government is preparing a home away home for
many of us because of personal fear and subsequent denial.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">CBS news admits that <a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2012/11/12/cbs-news-admits-fema-camps-are-real/">FEMA camps are real</a>. The following CBS report which reveals the true existence of a FEMA shelter camp, set up in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>became
home for victims of Sandy and is located in Oceanport, New Jersey. This
camp is took on the look of permanence as it contains 40 acres of
emergency housing and is located in the parking lot of a race track. The
camp is complete with hot meals and hot showers. The CBS report
interviews a representative of FEMA who sells the camp as a refuge for
first responders to the storm and then at the end of the interview, as
an afterthought, acknowledges that <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57548027/fema-camps-house-struggling-sandy-survivors-in-n.j/">200+ storm victims</a> and at the time of the report, more refugees were showing up every day. </span><br />

amid reports that the “new residents” were reporting that the heating,
food and general overall comfort of the camp is not as good as good
FEMA people were reporting. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The
following excerpts speak as to why federal agencies hire spokespersons.
FEMA Camp spokesperson, Scott Sanders must have been absent from work
the day that Reed Kozlow was interviewed by a local reporter. “You
hover around waiting for the call. When the phone rings I can go. It’s
all about the group,” said one of the FEMA workers at the camp, Reed
Kozlow. Kozlow went on to state that “Whatever a community needs we
provide. <a href="http://www.mtairynews.com/view/full_story/20770536/article-Local-man-helped-with-Sandy-rescue-efforts?instance=popular">For Sandy we set up 12 camps</a>
to help.” The Koslow statement is very interesting, because the CBS
report leaves the viewer with the impression that this was a single FEMA
camp facility and an isolated incident. Yet, Kozlow admits that there
is a camp in Meriden, Connecticut, where he brought in big generators,
“as big as <a href="http://www.mtairynews.com/view/full_story/20770536/article-Local-man-helped-with-Sandy-rescue-efforts?instance=popular">pickup trucks</a>”
with many odds and ends which he compared to setting up a small city
complete with light and heat for the victims. And curiously, he admitted
to installing fencing around the camp. Fencing? Why would a “FEMA
rescue camp” need fencing? The better question is, why would they be
keeping people out? And why would that be the case, since they are a
rescue facility? The most logical explanation is that FEMA Camps are set
up to detain, not to protect and the “facing in fencing” is standard
FEMA issue which is why we see fencing designed to restrict movement. </span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The existence of the <a href="http://www.apfn.org/apfn/army_doc.gif">Civilian Inmate Labor Program</a>
is a page right out of the Nazi playbook. Historically, slave labor and
genocidal extermination camps go hand in hand with detention and
enslavement being the prelude to mass murder. </span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">There
are the rumored Red and Blue lists in which people, prior to the
declaration of martial law are taken from their homes and either put
into slave labor camps and systematically starved to death or our
immediately executed. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 8.65pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 8.65pt; mso-line-height-alt: 8.05pt;">

– These are enemies of the NWO. Two weeks before martial law they could
be taken from their homes and flown to camps for immediate
extermination. Generally, these are people in leadership roles or other
public positions.</span></div>

– Also enemies of the NWO but not necessarily leaders. After martial
law these people could be rounded up for “re-programming” in the camps.

<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The
evidence for Red/Blue lists are mostly derived from anecdotal or
unnamed sources and these sources typically do not inspire confidence.
However, when the anecdotal evidence is examined in the context of the
other elements of Stanton’s Hypothesis, it is probable that death lists
do exist and are secretly contained within the well-established police
state surveillance grid controlled by DHS and the NSA. Watch the
following short video and tell me what the hell is a Red Zone which
appears at about 3:50 into the video?</span><br />

above broadcast aired in May of 2011. Six months later, on New Year’s
Eve of 2011, Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)
into law which makes it legal to detail and incarcerate citizens,
indefinitely, without using the due process of law. How clear does it
have to be? Are FEMA Camps (real) death lists (rumored) and Guillotines
(anecdotal proof) that farfetched within this context? Even if the
existence of death lists and guillotines cannot be fully confirmed
within the current context, shouldn’t we still ask ourselves what all
the rest of this is all about? The establishment of the police state
grid reminds me of the old Soviet saying in which they sarcastically
proclaim that the last capitalist will sell the last rope to be used in
the last execution of that last capitalist. Remember, you are paying for
your own demise. </span></div>
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Control of Food</span></h2>
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">This just leaves us with one more element of Stanton’s sixth stage and that would be the control of food. </span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Over
the past 18 months, the country has witnessed numerous Federal swat
team raids of raw milk producers including the harassment of the Amish
of all people. These are undoubtedly beta tests for the complete seizure
of America’s food supply. And this is all made possible by </span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Obama’s March 16, 2012, <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">executive order</span> entitled, <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness">The National Defense Resources Preparedness</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
executive order states that the President alone has the authority to
take over all resources in the nation (labor, food, industry, etc.) as
long as it is done “to promote nation defense.” Case closed. </span><br />
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Conclusion</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Nearly all of
Stanton’s preconditions for the fulfillment of the sixth stage of
unfolding genocide have been met with the possible exception of death
lists. Certainly, the FEMA camps are not vacation centers and one cannot
presume that they will come out more healthy than they when they were
involuntarily housed at these centers. </span><br />

of this series examined the first six stages of an eight stage paradigm
which historically leads to genocide. The framework used for the
analysis was based upon a paper written by Greg Stanton which was
presented as a <a href="http://www.genocidewatch.org/images/8StagesBriefingpaper.pdf" target="null">briefing paper</a>
for the State Department in 1996 in which he postulated that genocide
progresses through eight states. The fundamental research question posed
by this multi-part series “Is the United States preparing for a mass
genocide against selected segments of its population?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Unfortunately, and most disturbingly, the United States fully meets the criteria for the first six stages of the eight stages. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The fourth part of this series examines the seventh stage in this paradigm, namely, extermination. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Stage Seven: Extermination</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The good news is
that mass exterminations of American citizens is not being overtly
carried out by the present administration. I know that many people will
say that the genocide has already begun and they will undoubtedly bring
up the subjects of Chemtrails, GMO’s, Fluoride, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
am not denying that these variables and several other toxins are not
having a deleterious impact on human health. However, the only topic
under investigation in this series is the question of mass murder being
carried out by government sponsored entities against selected elements
of the population. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Although there are
no exterminations taking place on American soil, the first three parts
of this series lifted the covers off the bed and it is clear that our
country is on a train which is gaining momentum, having passed six
stages on the way to genocide. The trains next stop is unquestionably
extermination unless the American people can launch an amazing rally and
take back the country. However, at this point, it would probably take a
civil war to take America back because our country has become such a
nation typified by passivity that it probably does not have the
collective guts to rise up and fight back because most of us still have
food on our collective tables. Meanwhile as the train races toward
genocide, it i0s gaining momentum.<br />
</span><br />
<h2 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">What Will the Extermination Look Like?</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The best predictor
of future events are past events. On that basis, let’s take a short look
ahead as to how Stage Seven, Extermination, could potentially look like
to many Americans, when it finally unfolds. </span><br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Our Future?</h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">It is the Christmas
season of 2014. A lot has happened in the past year. The trigger event
leading to the trouble that we are presently in started when the banks
closed their doors when it was announced that Iran had planted a
computer virus which brought down the computerized banking system.
Actually, that was a lie. It was another in the long line of false flag
events which was designed to help the globalists gain control over
everything. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_3201" style="width: 291px;">
<a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/05/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-4/bank-run/" rel="attachment wp-att-3201"><img alt="Get Your Money Out While You Still Can" class="size-full wp-image-3201" height="180" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2013/05/bank-run.jpg" width="281" /></a><br />
<div class="wp-caption-text">
Get Your Money Out While You Still Can</div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">At first, personal
banking assets were frozen and then they just disappeared. Most
Americans were left without the means to pay their mortgage, or to buy
food and medicine. Then the rioting and looting began, and martial law
was declared. War was simultaneously launched and Iran was attacked
which brought Russia and China into the conflict. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The first stage of
the Extermination stage was underway when the bankers, who have seized
control over the government, left the entire western half of the nation
exposed to invasion. By prior agreement, the Chinese, fully in control
of the Panama Canal, began moving north and eventually entered the
America’s underbelly in the Southwest. The Russians crossed the Alaskan
Land Bridge and decimated Alaska and Northwest Canada. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/05/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-4/genocide-ss/" rel="attachment wp-att-3192"><img alt="genocide ss" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3192" height="273" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2013/05/genocide-ss.jpg" width="185" /></a>In
a replay of the SS Nazi death squads entering Russia in 1940, entire
geographic areas were targeted for extermination by the conquering
hordes. Many in the West and the Northwest were summarily executed by
the death squads. Many were rounded up and sent to camps where they
worked as slave labor until they were no longer needed and were
subsequently eliminated. By prior arrangement, the Chinese and the
Russians do not enter into the Eastern two-thirds of the country. The
Agenda 21 dream of turning the entire west into a wilderness wasteland
was realized.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">In the Eastern
two-thirds of the country, the martial law government let the people
stay in their homes so long as they deeded their house back to the bank.
It became illegal to store more than three days of food and water.
Americans were forced to turn in their guns. Any citizen caught with a
gun was committing a capital offense and public executions were
summarily carried out. Everyone, even the disabled, were assigned to
work brigades. Some work brigade duty consisted of going to your regular
job. Most work brigade duty consisted of performing work for the
government. Food and gas was rationed. A dusk to dawn curfew was
instituted. Two separate drafts, a public sector military draft and
private sector government/NGO draft, were instituted (i.e. slaves to the
corporations). Despite the horror that had become America, your family
had somewhat adjusted until the day your six year old repeated something
you had said about the “old” American Constitution at school. The
teacher reported your family to the Principal, who in turn, filed an
electronic “see something-say something” report with the Department of
Homeland Security. You were now a target for re-education and that meant
being sent to a camp. Yet, your family was totally unaware of what was
coming based upon the innocent statement of your child. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/05/05/the-eight-unfolding-stages-of-the-great-american-genocide-part-4/genocide-removals/" rel="attachment wp-att-3190"><img alt="genocide removals" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3190" height="187" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2013/05/genocide-removals.jpg" width="270" /></a>It
is 4AM, and an armored personnel carrier, with a “Department of
Homeland Security” emblem displayed on the driver’s side door,
accompanied by three black canvass covered trucks pulls up in front of
you home. A dozen well-armed men quickly exit the vehicle and train
their guns on the windows of your home. Another team exits one of the
trucks and forms a protective perimeter for the black garbed terrorists
surrounding your house. The troops on the perimeter were tasked with
arresting anyone of your neighbors who peers out the window or worse
yet, might be videotaping the proceedings. These government terrorist
events have happened enough times before that most of the people know
not to look out their windows when they hear noises in the early morning
hours. With the lights off in the house, the parents run to their
children’s rooms to make sure they do not look out the window. Your
neighbors remain quiet and are just relieved that the wolf has passed by
their door one more time. </span><br />

and your family are fast asleep when the battering ram breaks down your
front door. By predesign, from the schematics of your home, the heavily
armored swat team enters every bedroom yelling and screaming. Everyone
in your family is awakened with a gun pressing against their body while
the intruders are incessantly yelling commands designed to terrorize and
gain compliance from your family. The government terrorists would
prefer not to kill you in your home, but they will not hesitate to do so
if you resist. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Your family members
are immediately bound and gagged, so that when they rush you from your

first four parts of this series examined the first seven stages of an
eight stage paradigm which historically leads to genocide. The framework
used for the analysis was based upon a paper written by Greg Stanton
which was presented as a <a href="http://www.genocidewatch.org/images/8StagesBriefingpaper.pdf" target="null">briefing paper</a>
for the State Department in 1996 in which he postulated that genocide
progresses through eight states. The fundamental research question posed
by this multi-part series “Is the United States preparing for a mass
genocide against selected segments of its population?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Unfortunately, the
United States fully meets the criteria for the first six stages and the
groundwork is clearly in place for carrying out stage seven, Genocide.
This stage examines the final stage, Denial. Further, this article will
respectfully address the wholesale ignorance of Americans who believe
that a genocide could never be visited upon the American people at the
hands of its government. Denial comes in many forms. Stanton wrote about
denial as a form of national policy following the genocide. Some see
denial as the condition from which people deny their active or passive
role in the act of genocide. This article looks at denial in both
aspects.<br />

writes that on June 20, 1837, the U.S. Army began to dispense diseased
“trade blankets” to the Mandan Indians (one of the tribes which aided
the Lewis and Clark Expedition). The blankets were presented to the
Mandans at Fort Clark in present-day North Dakota. Churchill states that
the blankets had been taken from a army infirmary in St. Louis which
had been previously quarantined for smallpox. and the Mandans became
symptomatic on July 14 leading a local medical official to advise the
Indians to scatter and seek refuge in the villages in nearby villages,
thus, the pandemic commenced as it was spread far and wide.This was a
clear cut case of biological warfare committed against a civilian
population.</span></div>

Cherokees were forced off their land in 1838 and had to undertake the
long journey across the Trail of Tears. Historical parallels conjure up
images of the Death March to Bataan and the Nazi persecution of Jews in
the Warsaw Ghetto. Make no mistake about it, this was an ethnic
cleansing inspired genocide carried out with forethought and malice in
what became one of the darkest chapters in American History as 4,000
Cherokees died on the Trail of Tears from malnutrition, exposure, and
disease. </span></div>

concentration camps from the “Final Solution” treatment of Native
Americans. </span></div>
<br />
And let’s not forget the the biggest genocide in the history of the
planet, namely, abortion, and this heinous persecution of God’s most
precious creatures has taken place right here on American soil. Some
abortions are medically necessary. The vast majority are not.
Tragically, adoption centers have waiting lists of loving parents ready
to open their homes and their hearts. Through Planned Parenthood, we
have institutionalized genocide against the helpless.<br />

presently live under a despotic President who is forcing Catholics to
fund abortions against their religious doctrine. This is evil
personified. Since abortion became “legal” in the early 1970′s, 53
million innocent human beings have been the victims of this horrific
genocide and now it is official governmental policy. And please spare me
the political correctness arguments. To hell with political
correctness, we are talking about mass murder, make no mistake about it.<br />
Someone needs to speak for those who cannot. And there are still
people who do not think genocide can happen here despite the fact that
six of the eight Stanton stages of national genocide have been fulfilled
in modern day America and we are in the midst of an ongoing holocaust
which surpasses Hitler and Stalin.<br />

I have news for my historically ignorant friends, there
have been genocides in America, there is presently a genocide in America

He Had the Guts to Say No to Hitler. Do You Know Anyone Who Will Say No to Obama?</div>
</div>
This leaves us with the final stage in the Stanton genocidal
hypothesis, Denial. Stanton states that leaders will attempt to hide the
genocide from world. However, this stage could be a moot point for this
present administration, because if the globalists achieve the complete
takeover of the world’s economy and subsequently their governments,
there will be nobody left to conceal the truth from.<br />
Why do so many people still revere Andrew Jackson? Simple, those who
win the battles, end up writing the history books. Or, do we not care
because the Jackson’s victims are only Indians? If that is the case,
then we will surely manifest our own negative future through Karma or
whatever religious term you choose to affix to this coming calamity.
Regardless, if we allow the banksters who have hijacked our government
to continue with their psychopathic policies, they too will write the
next chapter of history and Ron Paul supporters, Christians, Second
Amendment supporters, Constitutionalists and Libertarians will be the
next generation of Native American genocidal victims.<br />
Through the NDAA and the National Resources Defense Preparedness
Executive Order (13603), Obama has already built in escape clauses into
his heinous preparations on the road to the enslavement of the American
people and ultimately to genocide. By some twisted logic, he has granted
himself the authority to commit secret arrests and murder whether it be
carried out by drones, robots or DHS jack-booted thugs backed up by
their 2.2 rounds of newly acquired ammunition. Thanks to a series of
Obama Executive Orders and the NDAA, enslavement culminating with
genocide will soon be official national policy.<br />

we ever allow Obamacare to become fully implemented on January 1, 2014,
with all of its euthanasia policies, we will never recover as a nation.
Make no mistake about it, Obamacare is not about healthcare, it is
about enslavement and the full implementation of systematic genocide.<br />

Obama and his fellow band of communists deserve the same fate that
they visited upon Chris Stephens. This event could have been our line in
the sand and could have toppled this criminal administration. The push
back against pending genocide could have been achieved. America, we
missed a golden opportunity.<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
We Are Out of Time and Out of Options</h2>
At this point, all options should be on the table. We have been
conquered by the mega-bankers. We are being ruled by sociopaths who do
not play by any set of rules. The Benghazi murders gave me temporary
hope because it was clear that there were some senior level military
command officers willing to take on the President and his illegal
policies. I am still hopeful that the military will rise up and take
back our country against this illegitimate government because I am quite
sure that the sheep that now inhabit this nation do not possess the
intestinal fortitude to do it themselves. <a href="http://oathkeepers.org/oath/">Stuart Rhodes</a> may indeed become the most pivotal figure in our immediate future<a href="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/01/09/nuremburg-trials-for-banksters/american-troops-protect-us-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-2003"><img alt="american troops protect us" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2003" height="247" src="http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/siteupload/2012/09/american-troops-protect-us.jpg" width="353" /></a>.<br />
America, we have a little over seven months to reverse the suicidal
direction our nation has undertaken, for if we do not, we will witness
humanities darkest days within our national borders.<br />

By ARTHUR HERMAN, FOXNEWS.COM—
If you still think the future of Israel looks bleak, think again.
A few months ago it looked like the Jewish state might not survive until 2013. Rockets were raining down from Gaza; revolution was about to install one Islamicist government in Egypt, and another was poised to take over in Syria. Iran was threatening to finish what Hitler’s Holocaust started, with an atomic bomb. The Obama administration seemed unwilling to stop that happening– while Israel’s only alternative to nuclear annihilation was a preemptive strike that was bound to start a major shooting war in the Middle East.
Now, however, Israel’s future may be brighter than ever.
Iran remains the neighborhood’s unpredictable mad dog, although its nuclear bark is still far worse than its bite. But Israel itself is set to dominate the region like never before. Thanks to the industrial technological miracle known as fracking, Israel is about to become the new energy Mecca of the Middle East, and there’s very little its Arab neighbors can do to stop it.
Indeed, instead of plotting Israel’s destruction, its Arab neighbors could find themselves courting Tel Aviv’s favor the way the United States and Europe courted OPEC in the 1970′s and 1980′s.
What’s tilting the region’s dynamics toward Israel?
For one thing, the Arab Spring has spawned a chaos and instability in every country it’s touched, that’s going to grind on for years to come. A new report warns that Egypt is on the verge of collapse; Israel’s old adversary Syria, already is. Both are also very likely headed toward economic ruin–as has already happened to Israel’s other foe, Hamas in Gaza, and could hit Iran next.
Israel is going to be the famous “still point in a turning world”–a world turning in on itself, with little or no energy to spend confronting the Jewish state. And here’s where fracking comes in.
Hydraulic fracking is, of course, the technology that uses a high-pressure mixture of water, sand, and chemicals to crack open deep deposits of shale oil and natural gas. It’s single-handedly revived our domestic energy industry–to the point where by 2020 we’ll be the world’s biggest oil producer.
What many people don’t know is that the land of Israel holds almost 250 billion barrels of oil shale reserves (that’s according to the World Petroleum Council). That’s almost equal to Saudi Arabia’s 260 billion barrels–and as conventional oil sources there and in the Persian Gulf gets harder to extract (it already’s happening) and the cost goes up, Israel will be the new energy frontier of the region.
It’s already happening. The fracking-savvy Canadians have joined an Israeli energy technology fund, to help companies like Israeli Energy Initiatives begin production of oil shale in reserve-rich areas like the Valley of Elah near Jerusalem; the Russians have signed a deal to help open up the vast natural gas reserves discovered in 2008 and 2009 off Israel’s coast–some 16 trillion cubic feet worth.
Right now production is still tiny, but as fracking technology continues to advance Israel could soon move beyond its declared goal of energy independence, and become a major oil exporting country–including to oil-poor neighbors like Egypt and Syria and Lebanon.
The implications are nothing less than staggering.
Instead of an embattled and isolated outpost of Western democracy, Israel would look like the Middle East’s new economic colossus.
Instead of shunning Israel for fear of offending oil-rich Arab states, Western Europeans could find themselves beating a path to Israel’s oil shale fields–and rethinking who they want as their ally in the region, and who they don’t.
That includes the United States. Fracking is changing the world’s economic map; it’s about to change the Middle East. It’s time policy-makers caught up with reality, and realized that our relationship with Israel may be our most important bond to that region’s future.
Historian Arthur Herman is the author of the just released “Freedom’s Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II” (Random House May 2012) and the Pulitzer Prize finalist book “Gandhi and Churchill: The Epic Rivalry That Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age” (Bantam, 2008).

<br />
<br />You are being watched. The control freaks that hold power in the
United States have become absolutely obsessed with surveillance. They
are constantly attempting to convince the American people that we are
all "safer" when virtually everything that we do is watched, monitored,
tracked and recorded. Our country is being systematically transformed
into a giant surveillance grid far more comprehensive than anything
George Orwell ever dreamed of. If you still believe that there is such a
thing as "privacy" in this day and age, you are being delusional. Every
single piece of electronic communication is monitored and stored. In
fact, they know that you are reading this article right now. But even if
you got rid of all of your electronic devices, you would still be
constantly monitored. As you will read about below, a rapidly growing
nationwide network of facial recognition cameras, "pre-crime"
surveillance devices, voice recorders, mobile backscatter vans, aerial
drones and automated license plate readers are constantly feeding data
about us back to the government. In addition, private companies involved
in "data mining" are gathering literally trillions upon trillions of
data points about individual Americans each year. So there is no escape
from this surveillance grid. In fact, it has become just about
impossible to keep it from growing. The surveillance grid is expanding
in thousands of different ways, so even if you stopped one form of
surveillance you would hardly make a dent in the astounding growth of
this system. What we desperately need is a fundamental cultural
awakening to the importance of liberty, freedom and privacy. Without
such an awakening, the United States (along with the rest of the planet)
is going to head into a world that will make "1984" by George Orwell
look like a cheery story about a Sunday picnic.<br />
The following are 19 signs that America is being systematically transformed into a giant surveillance grid....<br />
<strong>#1 New Software That Will Store And Analyze Millions Of Our Voices</strong><br />
Did you know that there is software that can positively identify you using your voice in just a matter of seconds?<br />
Law enforcement authorities all over the U.S. are very eager to begin
using new Russian software that will enable them to store and analyze <a href="http://rt.com/usa/news/law-enforcement-voice-recognition-759/"><strong><span style="color: navy;">millions of voices</span></strong></a>....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>'Voice Grid Nation' is a system that uses advanced algorithms to
match identities to voices. Brought to the US by Russia's Speech
Technology Center, it claims to be capable of allowing police, federal
agencies and other law enforcement personnel to build up a huge database
containing up to several million voices.</em><br />
<em>When authorities intercept a call they've deemed 'hinky', the
recording is entered into the VoiceGrid program, which (probably) buzzes
and whirrs and spits out a match. In five seconds, the program can scan
through 10,000 voices, and it only needs 3 seconds for speech analysis.
All that, combined with 100 simultaneous searches and the storage
capacity of 2 million samples, gives SpeechPro, as the company is known
in the US, the right to claim a 90% success rate.</em></blockquote>
<strong>#2 Unmanned Aerial Drones Will Be Used Inside The U.S. To Spy On You</strong><br />
Unmanned aerial drones have been used with great success by the U.S.
military overseas, and now the U.S. government is promoting their use to
local law enforcement authorities all over America.<br />
The following is from a recent <a href="http://www.gao.gov/assets/650/648348.pdf"><strong><span style="color: navy;">GAO report</span></strong></a>....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>"Domestically, state and local law enforcement entities represent
the greatest potential users of small UAS [unmanned aircraft systems]
in the near term because they can offer a simple and cost effective
solution for airborne law enforcement activities"</em></blockquote>
That report also discussed how there are 146 different models of
these drones made by 69 different companies throughout the United
States....<br />

<em>"According to an industry trade group, local law enforcement can

Since our overseas wars are slowing down, somebody has got to keep these drone companies in business.<br />
So the goal is to eventually have thousands of these drones spying on all of us.<br />
In the years ahead, our skies will likely be filled with these
things. Many of them are incredibly quiet and can gather information
about you from far above. In fact, one could be directly over your home
right now and you may never even know it.<br />
In fact, the U.S. government is already using some of these unmanned
drones to quietly spy on farmers in Nebraska and Iowa according to a
recent article <a href="http://www.infowars.com/epa-using-drones-to-spy-on-cattle-ranchers-in-nebraska-and-iowa/"><strong><span style="color: navy;">by Kurt Nimmo</span></strong></a>....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>Obama's Environmental Protection Agency is using aerial drones to
spy on farmers in Nebraska and Iowa. The surveillance came under
scrutiny last week when Nebraska's congressional delegation sent a joint
letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson.</em><br />
<em>On Friday, EPA officialdom in "Region 7" responded to the letter.</em><br />
<em>"Courts, including the Supreme Court, have found similar types of
flights to be legal (for example to take aerial photographs of a
chemical manufacturing facility) and EPA would use such flights in
appropriate instances to protect people and the environment from
violations of the Clean Water Act," the agency said in response to the
letter.</em></blockquote>
<strong>#3 High Tech Government Scanners That Can Secretly Scan You From 164 Feet Away</strong><br />
A new scanner that has just been developed can scan your body, your clothes and your luggage from 164 feet away.<br />
According <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5923980/the-secret-government-laser-that-instantly-knows-everything-about-you"><strong><span style="color: navy;">to Gizmodo</span></strong></a>, these very creepy scanners will soon be used at airports and border crossings all over America....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and
luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 164 feet (50
meters) away. From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to
what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your body-agents
will be able to get any information they want without even touching you.</em><br />
<em>And without you knowing it.</em><br />
<em>The technology is so incredibly effective that, in November 2011, its inventors were <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/GeniaPhotonics/prweb8922932.htm"><strong><span style="color: navy;">subcontracted by In-Q-Tel</span></strong></a> to work with the US Department of Homeland Security.

<strong>#4 The DNA Of Newborn Babies Born All Over The United States Is Systematically Collected</strong><br />
These days, the invasion of our privacy begins just after birth.<br />
Did you know that the DNA of almost every newborn baby in the United
States is systematically collected and stored in databases?
Unfortunately, most new parents don't even realize what medical
personnel are doing <a href="http://www.aclu.org/free-speech-technology-and-liberty-womens-rights/newborn-dna-banking"><strong><span style="color: navy;">when this takes place</span></strong></a>....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>The DNA of virtually every newborn in the United States is
collected and tested soon after birth. There are some good reasons for
this testing, but it also raises serious privacy concerns that parents
should know about.</em><br />
<em>States require hospitals to screen newborns for certain genetic
and other disorders. Many states view the testing as so important they
do not require medical personnel to get parents' express permission
before carrying it out. To collect the DNA sample, medical personnel
prick the newborn's heel and place a few drops of blood on a card. There
is one question that new parents rarely ask: What happens to the blood
spots after the testing is done? This is where newborn screening becomes
problematic.</em></blockquote>

<strong>#6 Your Cell Phone Is Spying On You</strong><br />
If you want to have no privacy whatsoever, own a cell phone and carry it around with you constantly.<br />
Your cell phone is constantly tracking <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/your-cell-phone-makes-you-a-prisoner-of-a-digital-world-where-virtually-anyone-can-hack-you-and-track-you"><strong><span style="color: navy;">everywhere that you go</span></strong></a> and it is constantly making a record of <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/your-cell-phone-makes-you-a-prisoner-of-a-digital-world-where-virtually-anyone-can-hack-you-and-track-you"><strong><span style="color: navy;">everything that you do with it</span></strong></a>.<br />
For example, did you know that authorities are using cell phones to record the identities of people that attend street protests?<br />
The following is what <a href="http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2012/09/everyone-who-attended-ows-with-cell.html"><strong><span style="color: navy;">one private investigator</span></strong></a> recently told a stunned audience....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>One of the biggest changes is the ability to track your physical
location. I'm sorry I came in at the end of the previous talk. I heard
them talk about surveying cell phones with a drone, in a wide area --
this is something that is done routinely now. I can tell you that
everybody that attended an Occupy Wall Street protest, and didn't turn
their cell phone off, or put it -- and sometimes even if they did -- the
identity of that cell phone has been logged, and everybody who was at
that demonstration, whether they were arrested, not arrested, whether
their photos were ID'd, whether an informant pointed them out, it's
known they were there anyway. This is routine.</em></blockquote>
At this point, law enforcement authorities are requesting information
from cell phone companies about individual Americans over a million
times a year <a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/07/massive-phone-surveillance/" target="_blank" title="as a recent Wired article described"><strong><span style="color: navy;">as a recent Wired article detailed</span></strong></a>....<br />

<strong>#7 Students Are Increasingly Being Tracked By RFID Microchips</strong><br />
RFID microchips are increasingly becoming a part of our every day

all 112 of its schools and all of its nearly 100,000 students.</em><br />
<em>District officials said the Radio Frequency Identification System
(RFID) tags would improve safety by allowing them to locate students -
and count them more accurately at the beginning of the school day to
help offset cuts in state funding, which is partly based on attendance.</em></blockquote>

<em>The software, sold by SpectorSoft of Vero Beach, Fla., could do
more than vacuum up the scientists' e-mails as they complained to
lawmakers and others about medical devices they thought were dangerous.
It could be programmed to intercept a tweet or Facebook post. It could
snap screen shots of their computers. It could even track an employee's
keystrokes, retrieve files from hard drives or search for keywords.</em></blockquote>
<strong>#10 The NSA Warrantless Surveillance Programs</strong><br />
Virtually every single electronic communication in the world
(including all phone calls, all faxes, and all emails) is intercepted
and recorded by an international surveillance network run by the NSA and
several other large international intelligence agencies.<br />
For a long time this was an "open secret" that everyone kind of knew about but that nobody ever did anything about.<br />
Fortunately, <a href="https://www.eff.org/press/releases/three-nsa-whistleblowers-back-effs-lawsuit-over-governments-massive-spying-program"><strong><span style="color: navy;">the Electronic Frontier Foundation</span></strong></a> is now fighting back, and they have three former NSA employees on their side....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>Three whistleblowers – all former employees of the National
Security Agency (NSA) – have come forward to give evidence in the
Electronic Frontier Foundation's (EFF's) lawsuit against the
government's illegal mass surveillance program, Jewel v. NSA.</em><br />
<em>In a motion filed today, the three former intelligence analysts
confirm that the NSA has, or is in the process of obtaining, the
capability to seize and store most electronic communications passing
through its U.S. intercept centers, such as the "secret room" at the
AT&T facility in San Francisco first disclosed by retired AT&T
technician Mark Klein in early 2006.</em><br />
<em>"For years, government lawyers have been arguing that our case is
too secret for the courts to consider, despite the mounting
confirmation of widespread mass illegal surveillance of ordinary
people," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "Now we have three former
NSA officials confirming the basic facts. Neither the Constitution nor
federal law allow the government to collect massive amounts of
communications and data of innocent Americans and fish around in it in
case it might find something interesting. This kind of power is too
easily abused. We're extremely pleased that more whistleblowers have
come forward to help end this massive spying program."</em></blockquote>
According <a href="http://info.publicintelligence.net/NSA-WilliamBinneyDeclaration.pdf"><strong><span style="color: navy;">to one of the whistleblowers</span></strong></a>,
the NSA "has the capability to do individualized searches, similar to
Google, for particular electronic communications in real time through
such criteria as target addresses, locations, countries and phone
numbers, as well as watch-listed names, keywords, and phrases in email."<br />
<strong>#11 Pre-Crime Surveillance Technology</strong><br />
Did you think that "pre-crime" was just something for science fiction movies?<br />
Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. A company known as BRS
Labs has developed "pre-crime surveillance cameras" that they claim can
identify potential terrorists and criminals even before they strike.<br />
Yes, this sounds like a bunch of nonsense, but some law enforcement
authorities are taking this quite seriously. In fact, dozens of these
"pre-crime surveillance cameras" are being put up at major
transportation hubs <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2154861/U-S-surveillance-cameras-use-eyes-pre-crimes-detecting-suspicious-behaviour-alerting-guards.html" target="_blank" title="in San Francisco"><strong><span style="color: navy;">all over San Francisco</span></strong></a>....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>In its latest project BRS Labs is to install its devices on the
transport system in San Francisco, which includes buses, trams and
subways.</em><br />
<em>The company says will put them in 12 stations with up to 22 cameras in each, bringing the total number to 288.</em><br />
<em>The cameras will be able to track up to 150 people at a time in
real time and will gradually build up a 'memory' of suspicious behaviour
to work out what is suspicious.</em></blockquote>
<strong>#12 Mobile Backscatter Vans</strong><br />
Do you think that you can get away from the TSA scanners by simply refusing to fly and by avoiding all U.S. airports?<br />
Don't be so sure.<br />
In fact, law enforcement authorities all over the country will soon
be driving around in unmarked vans looking inside your cars and even
under your clothes <a href="http://boingboing.net/2012/07/02/cops-in-usa-to-drive-around-in.html" target="_blank" title="using the same "pornoscanner" technology"><strong><span style="color: navy;">using the same backscatter technology</span></strong></a> currently being used by the TSA at U.S. airports....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>American cops are set to join the US military in deploying
American Science & Engineering's Z Backscatter Vans, or mobile
backscatter radiation x-rays. These are what TSA officials call "the
amazing radioactive genital viewer," now seen in airports around
America, ionizing the private parts of children, the elderly, and you
(yes you).</em><br />
<em>These pornoscannerwagons will look like regular anonymous vans,
and will cruise America's streets, indiscriminately peering through the
cars (and clothes) of anyone in range of its mighty isotope-cannon. But
don't worry, it's not a violation of privacy. As AS&E's vice
president of marketing Joe Reiss sez, "From a privacy standpoint, I'm
hard-pressed to see what the concern or objection could be."</em></blockquote>
<strong>#13 Automated License Plate Readers</strong><br />

that detailed how automated license plate readers are now being used to
track the movements of a vehicle from the time that it enters
Washington D.C. to the time that it leaves....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>More than 250 cameras in the District and its suburbs scan
license plates in real time, helping police pinpoint stolen cars and
fleeing killers. But the program quietly has expanded beyond what anyone
had imagined even a few years ago.</em><br />
<em>With virtually no public debate, police agencies have begun
storing the information from the cameras, building databases that
document the travels of millions of vehicles.</em><br />
<em>Nowhere is that more prevalent than in the District, which has
more than one plate-reader per square mile, the highest concentration in
the nation. Police in the Washington suburbs have dozens of them as
well, and local agencies plan to add many more in coming months,
creating a comprehensive dragnet that will include all the approaches
into the District.</em></blockquote>
<strong>#14 Data Mining</strong><br />
Private companies are almost more eager to invade your privacy than the government is.<br />
In fact, there are a whole bunch of very large corporations that are
making a fortune by gathering every shred of information about you that
they possibly can and selling that information for profit. It is called "<a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/data-mining-big-corporations-are-gathering-every-shred-of-information-about-you-that-they-can-and-selling-it-for-profit" target="_blank" title="data mining"><strong><span style="color: navy;">data mining</span></strong></a>", and it is an industry that has absolutely exploded in recent years.<br />
One of the largest data mining companies is known as Acxiom. That firm has actually compiled information on <a href="http://theweek.com/article/index/229508/acxiom-corp-the-faceless-organization-that-knows-everything-about-you" target="_blank" title="more than 190 million people"><strong><span style="color: navy;">more than 190 million people</span></strong></a> in the United States alone....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>The company fits into a category called database marketing. It
started in 1969 as an outfit called Demographics Inc., using phone books
and other notably low-tech tools, as well as one computer, to amass
information on voters and consumers for direct marketing. Almost 40
years later, Acxiom has detailed entries for more than 190 million
people and 126 million households in the U.S., and about 500 million
active consumers worldwide. More than 23,000 servers in Conway, just
north of Little Rock, collect and analyze more than 50 trillion data
'transactions' a year.</em></blockquote>
<strong>#15 The Growing Use Of Facial Recognition Technology</strong><br />
Most Americans do not realize this, but the use of facial recognition technology has absolutely exploded in recent years.<br />
For example, did you know that there are now <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/81052"><strong><span style="color: navy;">32 states</span></strong></a> that use some type of facial recognition technology for DMV photos?<br />
That is why they give you such strict instructions when you get your
DMV photo taken. They want your photo to be able to work with the
database.<br />
But the government is not the only one using creepy facial recognition technology. The following is from a recent article <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/aug/15/new-totalitarianism-surveillance-technology"><strong><span style="color: navy;">by Naomi Wolf</span></strong></a>....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>A <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/software" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Software"><strong><span style="color: navy;">software</span></strong></a>
engineer in my Facebook community wrote recently about his outrage that
when he visited Disneyland, and went on a ride, the theme park offered
him the photo of himself and his girlfriend to buy – with his credit
card information already linked to it. He noted that he had never
entered his name or information into anything at the theme park, or
indicated that he wanted a photo, or alerted the humans at the ride to
who he and his girlfriend were – so, he said, based on his professional
experience, the system had to be using facial recognition technology. He
had never signed an agreement allowing them to do so, and he declared
that this use was illegal. He also claimed that Disney had recently
shared data from facial-recognition technology with the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/usa" title="More from guardian.co.uk on United States"><strong><span style="color: navy;">United States</span></strong></a> military.</em><br />
<em>Yes, I know: it sounds like a paranoid rant.</em><br />
<em>Except that it <a href="http://occupycorporatism.com/disney-biometrics-and-the-department-of-defense/"><strong><span style="color: navy;">turned out to be true</span></strong></a>. <a href="http://newsinitiative.org/story/2006/08/14/walt_disney_world_the_governments"><strong><span style="color: navy;">News21, supported by the Carnegie and Knight foundations</span></strong></a>,
reports that Disney sites are indeed controlled by face-recognition
technology, that the military is interested in the technology, and that
the face-recognition contractor, Identix, has contracts with the US
government – for technology that identifies individuals in a crowd.</em></blockquote>
<strong>#16 Rapid DNA Testing</strong><br />
But what law enforcement authorities like even better than facial recognition technology is DNA testing.<br />
The following is from a recent article <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/091812-rapid-dna-262569.html?hpg1=bn"><strong><span style="color: navy;">by Ellen Messmer</span></strong></a>....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>It's been the FBI's dream for years -- to do near-instant DNA
analysis using mobile equipment in the field -- and now "Rapid DNA" gear
is finally here.</em><br />
<em>The idea is that you simply drop into the system a cotton swab
with a person's saliva, for example, and the "Rapid DNA" machine spits
out the type of DNA data that's needed to pin down identity. Now that
such equipment exists, the FBI is pushing to get it into the hands of
law enforcement agencies as soon as possible.</em></blockquote>
<strong>#17 The FBI's Next Generation Identification System</strong><br />
It was recently announced that <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/135665-fbi-launches-1-billion-nationwide-facial-recognition-system"><strong><span style="color: navy;">the FBI</span></strong></a> is spending a <strong>billion</strong>
dollars to develop a "Next Generation Identification System" that will
combine the most advanced biometric identification technologies to
create a database superior to anything that law enforcement in the
United States has ever had before....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has begun rolling out its
new $1 billion biometric Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. In
essence, NGI is a nationwide database of mugshots, iris scans, DNA
records, voice samples, and other biometrics, that will help the FBI
identify and catch criminals - but it is how this biometric data is
captured, through a nationwide network of cameras and photo databases,
that is raising the eyebrows of privacy advocates.</em><br />
<em>Until now, the FBI relied on IAFIS, a national fingerprint
database that has long been due an overhaul. Over the last few months,
the FBI has been pilot testing <a href="https://www.eff.org/document/fbi-facial-recognition-initiatives-presentation-2010-biometrics-conference"><strong><span style="color: navy;">a facial recognition system</span></strong></a> - and soon, detectives will also be able to search the system for other biometrics such as DNA records and iris scans.</em></blockquote>
<strong>#18 The NYPD's Domain Awareness System</strong><br />
Local law enforcement agencies around the country are also spending
big bucks to upgrade their surveillance capabilities. The new "Domain
Awareness System" that the NYPD just put in was described in a recent
article <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/3000272/nypd-microsoft-launch-all-seeing-domain-awareness-system-real-time-cctv-license-plate-monito"><strong><span style="color: navy;">by Neal Ungerleider</span></strong></a>....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>The New York Police Department is embracing online surveillance
in a wide-eyed way. Representatives from Microsoft and the NYPD
announced the launch of their new Domain Awareness System (DAS) at a
lower Manhattan press conference today. Using DAS, police are able to
monitor thousands of CCTV cameras around the five boroughs, scan license
plates, find out the kind of radiation cars are emitting, and
extrapolate info on criminal and terrorism suspects from dozens of
criminal databases ... all in near-real time.</em></blockquote>
But don't think that you are getting off the hook if you don't live
in New York City. The truth is that Microsoft has big plans for putting
in these kinds of systems nationwide.<br />
<strong>#19 Trapwire</strong><br />
Did you know that a huge network of incredibly advanced spy cameras is currently being installed nationwide?<br />
Yes, I know that it sounds like something off of a television show,
but this is actually true. It is called "Trapwire", and I described this
emerging system in <a href="http://thetruthwins.com/archives/creepy-nationwide-network-of-spy-cameras-will-transform-america-into-an-orwellian-prison-camp"><strong><span style="color: navy;">one of my recent articles</span></strong></a>....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>"You are being watched. The government has a secret system - a
machine - that spies on you every hour of every day." That is how each
episode of "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOnQ8CD3v4g" target="_blank" title="Person of Interest"><strong><span style="color: navy;">Person of Interest</span></strong></a>"
on CBS begins. Most Americans that have watched the show just assume
that such a surveillance network is completely fictional and that the
government would never watch us like that. Sadly, most Americans are
wrong. Shocking new details have emerged this week which prove that a
creepy nationwide network of spy cameras is being rolled out across the
United States. Reportedly, these new spy cameras are "more accurate than
modern facial recognition technology", and every few seconds they send
back data from cities and major landmarks all over the United States to a
centralized processing center where it is analyzed. The authorities
believe that the world has become such a dangerous place that the only
way to keep us all safe is to watch what everyone does all the time. But
the truth is that instead of "saving America", all of these repressive
surveillance technologies are slowly killing our liberties and our
freedoms. America is being transformed into an Orwellian prison camp
right in front of our eyes, and very few people are even objecting to
it.</em></blockquote>
An <a href="http://rt.com/usa/news/stratfor-trapwire-abraxas-wikileaks-313/" target="_blank" title="RT article"><strong><span style="color: navy;">RT article</span></strong></a> was one of the first news sources to reveal some of the shocking details about this new program....<br />
<blockquote>
<em>Former senior intelligence officials have created a detailed
surveillance system more accurate than modern facial recognition
technology - and have installed it across the US under the radar of most
Americans, according to emails hacked by Anonymous.</em><br />
<em>Every few seconds, data picked up at surveillance points in major
cities and landmarks across the United States are recorded digitally on
the spot, then encrypted and instantaneously delivered to a fortified
central database center at an undisclosed location to be aggregated with
other intelligence. It's part of a program called TrapWire and it's the
brainchild of the Abraxas, a Northern Virginia company staffed with
elite from America's intelligence community. The employee roster at
Arbaxas reads like a who's who of agents once with the Pentagon, CIA and
other government entities according to their public LinkedIn profiles,
and the corporation's ties are assumed to go deeper than even
documented.</em></blockquote>
So after reading all of the information above, is there anyone out
there that still doubts that America is being transformed into a giant
surveillance grid?<br />
The frightening thing is that there is a large percentage of the
American people that are aware of many of these things, but they are
convinced that these technologies are actually making society "better"
and "safer".<br />
We desperately need to wake up America while there is still time.
Please share this article with your family, your friends and your social
media contacts on the Internet.<br />
If we can get enough people to wake up, perhaps there is still enough time to turn this country in a different direction.<br />
Will the final chapters of our history be a complete and total
nightmare or will the final chapters of our history be the greatest
chapters of all?<br />
The choice, America, is up to you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914116689627893137.post-53667314576248332842012-09-17T14:14:00.001-07:002012-09-17T14:14:59.930-07:00<h1>

Cruisers, aircraft carriers and minesweepers from 25 nations are converging on
the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in an unprecedented show of
force as Israel and Iran move towards the brink of war.
</div>
<div class="secondPar">
Western leaders are convinced that Iran will retaliate to any attack by
attempting to mine or blockade the shipping lane through which passes around
18 million barrels of oil every day, approximately 35 per cent of the
world’s oil traded by sea.
</div>
<div class="thirdPar">
A blockade would have a catastrophic effect on the fragile economies of
Britain, Europe the United States and Japan, all of which rely heavily on
oil and gas supplies from the Gulf.
</div>
<div class="fourthPar">
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most congested international
waterways. It is only 21 miles wide at its narrowest point and is bordered
by the Iranian coast to the north and the Oman to the south.
</div>
<div class="fifthPar">
In preparation for any pre-emptive or retaliatory action by Iran, warships
from more than 25 countries, including the United States, Britain, France,
Saudi Arabia and the UAE, will today begin an annual 12-day exercise.

The war games are the largest ever undertaken in the region.
<br />
They will practise tactics in how to breach an Iranian blockade of the strait
and the force will also undertake counter-mining drills.
<br />
The multi-national naval force in the Gulf includes three US Nimitz class
carrier groups, each of which has more aircraft than the entire complement
of the Iranian air force.
<br />
The carriers are supported by at least 12 battleships, including ballistic
missile cruisers, frigates, destroyers and assault ships carrying thousand
of US Marines and special forces.
<br />
The British component consists of four British minesweepers and the Royal
Fleet Auxiliary Cardigan Bay, a logistics vessel. HMS Diamond, a brand-new
£1billion Type 45 destroyer, one of the most powerful ships in the British
fleet, will also be operating in the region.
<br />
In addition, commanders will also simulate destroying Iranian combat jets,
ships and coastal missile batteries.
<br />
In the event of war, the main threat to the multi-national force will come
from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps navy, which is expected to adopt
an “access-denial” strategy in the wake of an attack, by directly targeting
US warships, attacking merchant shipping and mining vital maritime
chokepoints in the Persian Gulf.
<br />
Defence sources say that although Iran’s capability may not be technologically
sophisticated, it could deliver a series of lethal blows against British and
US ships using mini-subs, fast attack boats, mines and shore-based anti-ship
missile batteries.
<br />
Next month, Iran will stage massive military manoeuvres of its own, to show
that it is prepared to defend its nuclear installations against the threat
of aerial bombardment.
<br />
The exercise is being showcased as the biggest air defence war game in the
Islamic Republic’s history, and will be its most visible response yet to the
prospect of an Israeli military strike.
<br />
Using surface-to-air missiles, unmanned drones and state-of-the-art radar,
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and air force will combine to test the defences
of 3,600 sensitive locations throughout the country, including oil
refineries and uranium enrichment facilities.
<br />
Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya air
defence base, told a conference this month that the manoeuvres would
“identify vulnerabilities, try out new tactics and practise old ones”.
<br />
At the same time as the Western manoeuvres in the Gulf, the British Response
Task Forces Group — which includes the carrier HMS Illustrious, equipped
with Apache attack helicopters, along with the French aircraft carrier
Charles de Gaulle - will be conducting a naval exercise in the eastern
Mediterranean. The task force could easily be diverted to the Gulf region
via the Suez Canal within a week of being ordered to do so.
<br />
The main naval exercise comes as President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, today to discuss the Iranian
crisis.
<br />
Many within the Obama administration believe that Israel will launch a
pre-emptive strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities before the US
presidential elections, an act which would signal the failure of one of
Washington’s key foreign policy objectives.
<br />
Both Downing Street and Washington hope that the show of force will
demonstrate to Iran that Nato and the West will not allow President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, the Iranian leader, to develop a nuclear armoury or close
Hormuz.
<br />
Sir John Sawers, the head of MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service, reportedly
met the Israeli prime minister and Ehud Barak, his defence secretary, two
weeks ago in an attempt to avert military action against Iran.
<br />
But just last week Mr Netanyahu signalled that time for a negotiated
settlement was running out when he said: “The world tells Israel 'Wait,
there’s still time.’ And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?’
<br />
“Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran
don’t have a moral right to place a red light before Israel.”
<br />
The crisis hinges on Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme, which Israel
believes is designed to build an atomic weapon. Tehran has long argued that
the programme is for civil use only and says it has no plans to an build a
nuclear bomb, but that claim has been disputed by the West, with even the
head of MI6 stating that the Islamic Republic is on course to develop atomic
weapons by 2014.
<br />
The Strait of Hormuz has long been disputed territory, with the Iranians
claiming control of the region and the entire Persian Gulf.
<br />
Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps recently
boasted that “any plots of enemies” would be foiled and a heavy price
exacted, adding: “We determine the rules of military conflict in the Persian
Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.”
<br />
But Leon Panetta, the US defence secretary, warned that Iranian attempts to
exercise control over the Strait of Hormuz could be met with force.
<br />
He said: “The Iranians need to understand that the United States and the
international community are going to hold them directly responsible for any
disruption of shipping in that region — by Iran or, for that matter, by its
surrogates.”
<br />
Mr Panetta said that the United States was “fully prepared for all
contingencies” and added: “We’ve invested in capabilities to ensure that the
Iranian attempt to close down shipping in the Gulf is something that we are
going to be able to defeat if they make that decision.”
<br />
That announcement was supported by Philip Hammond, the Defence Secretary, who
added: “We are determined to work as part of the international community
effort to ensure freedom of passage in the international waters of the
Strait of Hormuz.”
<br />
One defence source told The Sunday Telegraph last night: “If it came to war,
there would be carnage. The Iranian casualties would be huge but they would
be able to inflict severe blows against the US and British.
<br />
“The Iranian Republican Guard are well versed in asymmetrical warfare and
would use swarm attacks to sink or seriously damage ships. This is a
conflict nobody wants, but the rhetoric from Israel is unrelenting.”

Blackhorse Asset Mgmt., says America’s $16 trillion federal debt has
escalated into a “death spiral,” as he told CNBC.<br />
Since the recession, noted economists including Laurence Kotlikoff, a
former member of President Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers, have
come to similar conclusions.<br />
Kotlikoff estimates the true fiscal gap is $211 trillion when unfunded
entitlements like Social Security and Medicare are included.<br />
A team of scientists, economists, and geopolitical analysts believes
they have proof that the threat is indeed real—and the danger imminent.<br />
One member of this team, Chris Martenson, a pathologist and former VP of a Fortune 300 company, explains their findings:<br />
“We found an identical pattern in our debt, total credit market, and money supply that <em>guarantees </em>they’re
going to fail. This pattern is nearly the same as in any pyramid
scheme, one that escalates exponentially fast before it collapses.
Governments around the globe are chiefly responsible.<br />
Dr. Kent Moors, an adviser to 16 world governments on energy issues as
well as a member of two U.S. State Department task forces on energy
also voiced concerns over what he and his colleagues uncovered.<br />
“It’s a pattern that’s hard to see unless you understand the way a
catastrophe like this gains traction,” Dr. Moors says. “At first, it’s
almost impossible to perceive. Everything looks fine, just like in every
pyramid scheme. Yet the insidious growth of the virus keeps doubling in
size, over and over again—in shorter and shorter periods of time—until
it hits unsustainable levels. And it collapses the system.”<br />
Martenson points to the U.S. total credit market debt as an example of this unnerving pattern.<br />
“For 30 years—from the 1940s through the 1970s—our total credit market
debt was moderate and entirely reasonable,” he says. “But then in seven
years, from 1970 to 1977, it quickly doubled. And then it doubled again
in seven more years. Then five years to double a third time. And then
it doubled two more times after that.<br />
“Where we were sitting at a total credit market debt that was 158%
larger than our GDP in the early 1940s... By 2011 that figure was 357%.”<br />
Dr. Moors warns this type of unsustainable road to collapse can be
seen today in our energy, food and water production. All are tightly
connected and contributing to the economic disaster that lies directly
ahead.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,serif;">We publish excerpts from this
report, which carries some weight due to the position of recognized
economists. But, we must add, these experts presented their study for
the purpose of selling their own supposedly surefire answer.<br />
One thing is crystal clear; the world as we know it cannot function
without going deeper into debt. Even after the crash in 2008, banks
continue to lend money that in reality doesn’t exist. Thus, many ask,
what is the end thereof? Our answer is strictly biblical; it will not
change, but lead to the ultimate catastrophe when the entire global
economic-financial system will collapse. The Bible calls this
deeper-into-debt financial system, fornication, sorcery, and deception.
The collapse is yet to come—it’s called the Great Tribulation, not
caused by war or bloodshed, but by the implosion of the global financial
economic system, “And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn
over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more” (Revelation
18:11).</span><br />

Israel will not tolerate continuing terrorist attacks from the Sinai
Peninsula.…Now that the [Egyptian] election is over and a victor has
been declared,…"We will not accept our citizens’ way of life being
harmed and we will not tolerate citizens getting hit from Sinai and
terror...."We have an obligation to our citizens in the Gaza periphery,
who are showing determination and strength...“[Israel] respects the
democratic process in Egypt [but we have] expectations that Cairo would
honor the 1979 peace treaty with Israel…"The IDF will continue to take
action against terrorists, We will not accept rocket fire on the South.”<br />
<strong>God says:</strong> <em>“I will stir up Egyptian against
Egyptian--brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor,
city against city, kingdom against kingdom. The Egyptians will lose
heart, and I will bring their plans to nothing; they will consult the
idols and the spirits of the dead, the mediums and the spiritists.
Iwill hand the Egyptians over to the power of a cruel master and a
fierce king will rule over them,” declares the Lord, the Yahweh
Almighty. … “So Yahweh will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in
that day they will acknowledge Yahweh.”</em> (Isaiah 19:2-4, 21)<br />
<strong>The Jerusalem Connection says:</strong>
With the Muslim Brotherhood in charge in Egypt it does not bode well
for the region – including Egypt and Israel, at least for the immediate
future. Long term the view is more encouraging. Isaiah 19 concludes, <em>"in
that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria.The Assyrians
will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and
Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will be the third,
along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. The Lord Almighty
will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my
handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.” </em>So what can we conclude?
It’s going to get a lot worse for the region, including Israel, before
it get’s better. But when that which is “better” comes, it will be the
best because Yahweh will be in charge.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914116689627893137.post-92229223197284930462012-07-04T11:49:00.002-07:002012-07-04T11:49:57.489-07:00Who lost Egipt?<br />

BY BRET STEPHENS, WSJ—<br />
Egypt is lost.<br />
Don’t console yourself with the belief that the victory of the Muslim
Brotherhood in the country’s first free presidential election is merely
symbolic, since the army still has the guns: The examples of
revolutionary Iran and present-day Turkey show how easily the conscripts
can be bought, the noncoms wooed and the officers purged.<br />
Don’t console yourself with the idea that now the Islamists will have
to prove themselves capable of governing the country. The Brotherhood
is the most successful social organization in the Arab world. Its
leaders are politically skillful, economically literate and
strategically patient. Its beliefs resonate with poor, rich and middle
class alike. And it can always use the army as a scapegoat should the
economy fail to improve.<br />
Don’t console yourself with the expectation that the Brotherhood will
play by the democratic rules that brought it to power. “Democracy is
like a streetcar,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s Islamist prime
minister, observed long ago. “When you come to your stop you get off.”
Any party that rules street and square makes its own “democratic” rules.<br />
Don’t console yourself, finally, with hope that Egypt will remain a
responsible, status quo player on the international scene. By degrees,
Egypt under the Brotherhood will seek to arm Hamas and remilitarize the
Sinai. By degrees, it will seek to extract concessions from the U.S. as
the price of its good behavior. By degrees, it will make radical
alliances in the Middle East and beyond.<br />
Who lost Egypt?<br />
The Egyptians, obviously. This was their moment, opportunity, choice.
They chose—albeit by a narrow margin—a party that offers Islamic
stultification as the solution to every political and personal problem.
By the time they come to regret their choice, they won’t be in a
position to change it.<br />
But there are other players in this debacle, too.<br />
First, the Obama administration. “Our assessment is that the Egyptian
government is stable,” said Hillary Clinton as protesters began
descending on Tahrir Square in January 2011. President Obama didn’t help
matters by calling instantly for Mr. Mubarak’s removal—thereby
demonstrating how foolish it can be to be an ally of the U.S.—after
doing nothing in the previous two years to pressure Mr. Mubarak to
relinquish power while he still had a chance.<br />
<br />
As a result, the U.S. has no credibility with Egyptians, secular or
religious, and just 19% of Egyptians approve of Mr. Obama’s leadership,
according to Gallup. So much for the Cairo Speech.<br />
Next, the Bush administration.<br />
“Naturally, here in Egypt as in the U.S., there is freedom of speech,
so it is possible for anyone to complain about any personal or social
problem. If there is a problem, there are legal ways to deal with it,
whether here or in the U.S.”<br />
This bit of sycophancy was uttered in March 2006 by Frank
Ricciardone, then U.S. ambassador in Cairo, just as the Mubarak
government had imprisoned Ayman Nour, its only challenger in the 2005
election. How did an administration so committed to putting its freedom
agenda at the heart of its foreign policy allow its ambassador to make
these remarks? And what did it suggest to Egyptians about the sincerity
of Mr. Bush’s freedom agenda? The questions are self-answering.<br />
Third, the liberal abdicators.<br />
That’s a catch-all term for anyone who believes the result of any
free election is ipso facto legitimate and that the world’s
responsibility toward Egyptians’ democracy is to preserve a studied
neutrality about their political choices. But a democratic election that
yields a totalitarian result isn’t “legitimate,” except in the most
cramped sense of the word. In reality, it’s a double-barreled
catastrophe: a stain on democracy’s good name and a recipe for
turbocharged political extremism.<br />
Yet the deeper liberal abdication is the abdication of the idea that
freedom is more than simply an end in itself. If you believe that any
use of freedom is a legitimate use of freedom—that Larry Flynt inhabits
the same moral plane as, say, Vaclav Havel—then what you have mainly
succeeded in doing is destroying the attractiveness of freedom to a
large segment of the world. It’s the “empty concept of freedom,” says
Amr Bargisi of the Cairo-based Egyptian Union for Liberal Youth, that
has given Islamists the philosophical and political edge over Egypt’s
struggling liberals.<br />
“When Islamists argue for a society that, for example, is free of
pornography, you can’t respond by saying that pornographers should have
absolute liberty to do what they want,” Mr. Bargisi says. “You will have
to offer some good reason for people to have absolute freedom of
expression, even when it produces bad side effects.”<br />
What is to be done?<br />
In 1979, the U.S. lost Iran as an ally but formalized an alliance
with Egypt. Perhaps we might get lucky should the Assad regime fall to
Syrians better disposed to the U.S., not that we’re giving the Syrian
people much cause to like us. But that could change if the U.S. is seen
as the instrument and guardian of their liberation.<br />
We could also spell out to the new Egyptian government our terms for
maintaining financial support and diplomatic favor. The Egyptian economy
is in enough distress that the new government could be pliant. But that
window won’t be open for very long, and the effects of such pressure
aren’t likely to be long-lived.<br />
So prepare for an Egypt that likes us about as much as Nasser’s did
and behaves accordingly. It’s going to be a long and ugly haul. And it’s
just beginning.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914116689627893137.post-61224947909133227002012-06-20T22:56:00.000-07:002012-06-20T22:56:04.292-07:00Preparandose el escenario<h1>

<br />
<em><strong>This article was taken from a portion of the biblical commentary of the same name in my book called <a href="http://www.prophecydepot.net/2011/revelation-road-video-trailer/">Revelation Road</a>.</strong></em><br />
As the Psalm 83 confederates image depicts, Syrians and Iraqis find
association through Assyria, Hezbollah via Tyre in Lebanon, and Hamas
hailing from Gaza connects with Philistia. However, there is no mention
of Iranians by their three primary historical names, Elamites, Medes, or
Persians. This is puzzling, considering Iran reportedly formed bona
fide war-pacts in December, 2009, with Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas.<br />
<img alt="Psalm 83" class="article" height="259" src="http://www.prophecydepot.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/psalm83map2.jpg" width="400" />Because
Iran is presently providing weapons to Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas,
some suggest Iran may be included in Psalm 83 as part of the Assyrians.
The Assyrians seem to be among the stronger members in the psalm,
because they support the Jordanian army referred to as the children of
Lot (Moab and Ammon) in Psalm 83:8.<br />
<em>Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot</em> [Jordanians]. <em>Selah </em>(Psalm 83:8)<br />
The pitfall of connecting modern-day Iran with Assyria is that during
the psalmist’s time, Assyria only comprised much of what is today
northern Syria and part of Iraq.<br />
In order for Iran to be mentioned in Psalm 83, the psalmist would
need to have included, Elam, Media, or Persia in the confederate lineup.
At the time the Psalm was written about 3,000 years ago, Elam existed
in what is now west-central Iran, Media existed in eastern Iran and far
beyond, and Persia occupied primarily the northerly parts of today’s
Iran. Thus, it is reasonably safe to exclude Iranians, which are
primarily of Persian descent, from the predominately Arab confederacy of
Psalm 83.<br />
<strong>IRAN IS PERSIAN AND PSALM 83 IS ARAB</strong><br />
The Persian verses Arab distinction made in the previous sentence may
be part of the reason Iran doesn’t participate alongside their Arab
proxies in Psalm 83. The confederacy is dominated by Arab populations.
Arabs and Persians have a longstanding history of warring against each
other, dating as far back as the Persian conquest of the Babylonians
around 539 BC. In modern history, Iraq and Iran fought against each
other from 1980-1988.<br />
Saudis, as the Ishmaelites, and Egyptians, as the Hagarenes, are
members of Psalm 83 and they may feel threatened by any Iranian meddling
in the Arab- Israeli war. Presently, both of these Arab countries are
deeply concerned about Iran’s nuclear aspirations, and fear Iran’s
greater goal is to subdue their respective nations in order to form a
Shiite Crescent throughout the Middle East. Egypt and Saudi Arabia are
primarily comprised of Sunni Muslims.<br />
The Arab verses Persian argument is not the only possible reason Iran
refrains from participating in the Psalm 83 War. Possibility number two
is that part of Iran may be temporarily incapacitated at the time,
according to a generally overlooked prophecy issued by Jeremiah.<br />
In part two, we will look at the dual end time’s prophecies of Iran.
Iran appears to experience a double jeopardy in the last days, but most
scholars are fixated only on Iran’s role as Persia in Ezekiel’s prophecy
regarded with the Gog of Magog invasion. At the time Ezekiel included
Persia in the Magog coalition, it only covered a portion of modern day
Iran; Elam and Media covered the rest.<br />
Ezekiel appears to have purposely omitted Elam from Gog’s nine-member
consortia; but why? It could be that the prophecies concerning Elam in
Jeremiah 49:34-39 may hold the answer to this mystery.<br />

<img alt="Did Jeremiah Predict Disaster for Iran?" class="article" height="281" src="http://www.prophecydepot.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/iran-double-jeopardy.jpg" width="375" />Welcome to part two of this study regarding Iran in Bible prophecy. Part one, called “<a href="http://www.prophecydepot.net/2012/why-irans-absent-from-psalm-83/">Why Iran’s Absent from Psalm 83,</a>” lodged <strong><em>logical</em></strong> explanations as to why Iran is not part of the Psalm 83 Arab – Israeli war. Part two provides <strong><em>logistical</em></strong>
reasons by demonstrating that Iran seemingly faces a double jeopardy in
the days to come. This entire study is taken from the commentary of <a href="http://www.prophecydepot.net/2011/revelation-road-video-trailer/">Revelation Road, Hope Beyond the Horizon</a>.<br />
Even though Iran appears to be absent from the climactic, concluding
Arab-Israeli War, they are not excluded from two other significant
end-time’s events. The one most widely taught among eschatologists today
is described in Ezekiel 38, and is commonly called the Gog of Magog
invasion of Israel. In Ezekiel’s prophecy modern day Iran is represented
by ancient Persia, and is clearly identified militarily “<strong>with a shield and a helmet</strong>,” in Russia’s coalition.<br />
<strong>Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;</strong> (Ezekiel 38:5)<br />
Presently Iran is ranked #12 among world armies, and if Ezekiel’s
prophecy were to find fulfillment today, this would position Iran as the
third strongest army within the Magog coalition behind Russia ranked
#2, and Turkey ranked #6. Moreover, if Iran was included in Psalm
83:6-8, which does not appear to be the case, it would make it the
strongest army within the confederacy in front of Egypt (#16), Saudi
Arabia (#26), and Syria (#35).<br />
Interestingly, Iran presently possesses strong proxy relationships, and <em>bonafide</em>
war-pacts, with Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas. All three of these proxies
appear to be part of the Psalm 83 Arab confederacy. And yet, Iran
somehow gets excluded or, otherwise excused from participating directly
in Psalm 83.<br />
Some scholars, like Dr. Mark Hitchcock and Dr. Thomas Ice, teach that
Psalm 83 is an imprecatory prayer and probably not a specific prophecy.
If their interpretations are correct, then the preponderance of this
study becomes a useless exercise in futility, and the current Mideast
crisis has little to no connection with Psalm 83 whatsoever. However, if
they are wrong, and I believe my books <em><a href="http://www.prophecydepot.net/products/">Isralestine</a></em> and <em><a href="http://www.prophecydepot.net/2011/revelation-road-video-trailer/">Revelation Road </a></em>evidences that they are; then one must wonder why Iran’s military might is not incorporated in the Psalm war. <br />
Case in point, Psalm 83:4 says; <br />
They have said, “<strong>Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more</strong>.” <br />
Comparatively, Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has declared publicly on several occasions that, “<strong>Israel must be wiped off the map</strong>.” <br />
These similar quotes suggest that Iran and the confederacy of Psalm
83 share the same Anti-Semitic sentiment toward the nation of Israel. If
so; then why does Iran appear to be absent from Psalm 83?<br />
Perhaps Persia’s utter destruction in Ezekiel 38:16 – 39:6 prohibits
Iran from fighting in Psalm 83. Although this would satisfactorily
answer the question about Iran’s apparent absence in the Arab war, the
problem is that Psalm 83 probably precedes Ezekiel 38. If this is the
case, then Iran’s “<strong>shield and helmet</strong>,” could still
exist when the Arabs come against Israel. If so; then why don’t the
Arabs invite mighty Iran to participate in their war party?<br />
The prophecy that may precede Ezekiel 38 – 39, and answer the
question about Iran’s conspicuous absence in Psalm 83 is located in
Jeremiah 49:34-39. Jeremiah 49:35 predicts Elam (Iran) gets struck at
the “<strong>foremost of its might</strong>,” which if unfulfilled as of
yet, could allude to its nuclear program. The next verse says the
Elamites (Iranians) will be scattered out of the immediate area into
world nations.<br />
<strong>Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Behold, I will break the bow
of, The foremost of their might. Against Elam I will bring the four
winds From the four quarters of heaven, And scatter them toward all
those winds; There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will
not go.</strong> (Jeremiah 49:35-36, nkjv)<br />
Jeremiah and Ezekiel were contemporaries of each other. They both
wrote over 2500 years ago. Why did Ezekiel prophesy about Persia, and
Jeremiah about Elam? The probable answers are three-fold; <br />
1. <em>Geographically</em> – Elam and Persia occupied two adjoining territories at the time,<br />
2. <em>Culturally</em> – these territories consisted of differing ethnicities, and distinct civilizations,<br />
3. <em>Prophetically</em> – the two prophets were probably predicting separate events.<br />
<a href="http://www.prophecydepot.net/2012/the-dual-prophecies-of-iran-%e2%80%93-part-two/bushehr/" rel="attachment wp-att-2273"><img alt="" class="article" height="281" src="http://www.prophecydepot.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bushehr-300x224.png" width="375" /></a>Presently,
Persia and Elam comprise greater Iran. Elam covered west-central Iran
as depicted in the image, and Persia encompassed most of the other
surrounding territory. A careful study suggests both Ezekiel’s and
Jeremiah’s Iranian prophecies appear to be unfulfilled end time events.
If so, this suggests that modern day Iran faces a double jeopardy in the
last days.<br />
Jeremiah predicts that Elam will be struck at the foremost place of
its strength. If such an attack occurred in the near future that would
probably be its nuclear site(s). Not necessarily all sites, but
specifically sites existing within the boundaries of ancient Elam. A
prime target would be the Bushehr nuclear site identified in the image. <br />
Subsequently, the prophet warns that after the attack the affected
populations are forced to scatter from the area. Jeremiah says, “<strong>There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go</strong>.”
This could be the result of Iranian’s attempting to flee from an
isolated nuclear disaster. Should the Bushehr nuclear reactor be struck,
this becomes a very real possibility because the facility is loaded
with Russian supplied fuel rods. These rods were loaded during the
summer of 2010. At the time former UN Ambassador John Bolton warned that
once the rods were loaded in place, an attack upon the site could
result in severe radioactive fallout. <br />
If Jeremiah 49:34-39 is alluding to a pre-Psalm 83 strike upon Iran’s
nuclear program, this could partially explain why the rogue state is
not a participant in the Psalm. Additionally, perhaps nuclear fallout
causes only the Iranians from the central west coast to evacuate into
other nations, which would still leave the preponderance of Persia,
(northern Iran) with some remaining <strong>shields and helmets</strong> to fight with in Ezekiel 38.<br />
It is important to note that Ezekiel seems to intentionally omit Elam
from the Gog of Magog invasion. This strongly suggests that not all of
modern-day Iran participates in the infamous Gog of Magog invasion of
Israel. This conclusion can be safely drawn by recognizing that Ezekiel
32:24-26 identifies Elam and Meshech and Tubal. Meshech and Tubal are
listed in the Magog invasion, but Elam is not. Why not? Why didn’t
Ezekiel list Elam alongside Persia to identify the entirety of
modern-day Iran in his predicted invasion?<br />
The fact that Ezekiel lists Persia in Ezekiel 27:10 and Ezekiel 38:5,
and Elam in Ezekiel 32:24 implies that he recognized the territorial
and ethnic distinctions between these two populations during his time.
He probably omits Elam for the same reason that he omits the Arab
populations identified in Psalm 83:6-8, which is because Elam and the
Arabs of Psalm 83 do not participate in the Ezekiel 38 invasion.<br />
The probable reason the Psalm 83 Arabs abstain is because they are
dealt with in a prior separate war, won by the IDF. The likely reason
Elam isn’t listed is because Jeremiah 49:34-39 tells us the Elamites are
also involved in their own separate prophecy. Thus, there appear to be
three prophecies identified: Psalm 83 (Arabs), Ezekiel 38-39 (Persians),
and Jeremiah 49:34-39 (Elamites).<br />
<img alt="Did Jeremiah Predict Disaster for Iran?" class="article" height="281" src="http://www.prophecydepot.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/nine-elam-prophecies.jpg" width="375" />In
summary, it is important to note that clear territorial distinctions
existed between Elam and Persia when Jeremiah and Ezekiel prophesied. It
is doubtful that all of modern-day Iran participates in the Magog
invasion of Israel in Ezekiel 38. More likely is the possibility that
only northern Iran joins in with Magog (Russia); otherwise Ezekiel
should have included both Persia and Elam in his prophecy. Since Elam is
not part of Ezekiel 38, it suggests that Jeremiah’s prophecy regarding
Elam is a separate prophetic event. If Elam is struck at the foremost of
its might prior to the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38, then this could be
the reason Ezekiel omitted Elam from his prophecy.<br />
Moreover, Jeremiah 49:34-39 introduces nine related prophecies
concerning Elam. This study has only discussed two of them. These nine
prophecies are identified in the image, and are thoroughly explained in
the commentary portion of <a href="http://www.prophecydepot.net/2011/revelation-road-video-trailer/">Revelation Road</a>.
The pertinent commentary also presents a brief history lesson
concerning Elam, and explains why Jeremiah’s Elamite prophecies still
remain unfulfilled.<br />
In the final analysis, Jeremiah’s nine prophecies of Elam may be
simply adding more details to Ezekiel’s Gog of Magog invasion; but I
doubt it.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
There is a great deal of controversy over whether President Obama has the credentials, per the U.S. Constitution, to hold the office of The President of the United States. On April 27, 2011 (about halfway into his presidency) President Obama produced a <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf" style="color: #2f5b85; text-decoration: none;" target="new">Certificate of Live Birth</a>that allegedly validates he was born in Hawaii. Let's examine this very important issue further...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<br /><br /><b>PEOPLE THAT SAY IT IS NOT IMPORTANT</b><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
Before I continue, I want to address people that say this is not an important issue and that it just distracts from more important things that need to be addressed.<br /><br />First, saying that it's not important is demonstrating a complete ignorance about the intent of why that requirement was put into the United States Constitution in the first place. Keep in mind, we're not talking about some random company policy, we are discussing the highest law in the land: the Constitution of the United States! Further below I'll discuss why the forefathers included the requirements for the Office of the President, but suffice it to say if we start pushing aside the Constitution, then we are on a very slippery slope indeed.<br /><br />Many people are claiming that this issue is diverting valuable time away from more important issues, and the President himself said this was becoming a "sideshow". Frankly, that statement is ludicrous for three main reasons:<br /><br />1. The only reason there is any attention on this issue at this point in time in the first place is because the President chose not to release the document a long time ago. He spent over 2 million dollars in legal fees to avoid doing so. Consequently, much more time, effort, and money has been put into <i>not</i> releasing the document than simply doing so. That should actually cause any reasonable person to question why it was not released a long time ago.<br /><br />2. It should not take up that much time to ask a staff member (or Michelle) to get the document, have it scanned, then hold a 5 minute press conference about it.<br /><br />3. If President Obama can spend hours on the golf course, basketball court, and fill out a "March Madness" basketball bracket on TV; then surely he can take a few minutes to address the American people and the constitutional requirements of the office he holds. Saying this is diverting valuable time and that it's the "birthers" to blame is a lame argument by people that either do not see a much bigger issue at hand, or just want to bury their heads in the sand because they also sense there could be more to this than they want to admit.<br /><br /><br /><b>AUTHENTICITY OF THE RECENTLY RELEASED DOCUMENT</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7lawd-wPc0XK5MW5oalyKBt7lwT9da55uJMT4ETQ05VAG9EA7QKVRiQyGeEjjagefQc4LJmAc3QS-aCW7gZfJ1lAxh2YopPpETExKuEQVZE54bAvXrgJPJotZvxUm1t_HVyVHXkuLzLz_/s1600/Birth+Certificate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; color: #2f5b85; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" id="ICE-img-1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7lawd-wPc0XK5MW5oalyKBt7lwT9da55uJMT4ETQ05VAG9EA7QKVRiQyGeEjjagefQc4LJmAc3QS-aCW7gZfJ1lAxh2YopPpETExKuEQVZE54bAvXrgJPJotZvxUm1t_HVyVHXkuLzLz_/s1600/Birth+Certificate.jpg" style="border: none; position: relative;" /></a></div>
Substantial questions remain about the authenticity of the birth certificate. However, anyone that brings this up is immediately labeled as a "birther" that will never be satisfied. I wonder what similar strategies were used when anyone objected to Hitler's tactics and policies? Will the American people also let the facts of the matter be squashed because bringing up the issue results in persecution and ridicule? I fear, for the most part, the answer to that is that most people will.<br /><br />Though mostly ignored for the aforementioned reasons, experts are presenting compelling evidence suggesting the document is a forgery. <a href="http://learnbibleprophecy.blogspot.com/2011/04/importance-of-president-obamas-birth.html" style="color: #2f5b85; text-decoration: none;">THIS LINK</a> presents some videos that question the authenticity of the document. </div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
In addition to the technical issues, other people point out that President Obama's father is listed to be from "Kenya, East Africa", yet Kenya was not an independent country until 1963 — 2 years after the date of the birth certificate. Others point out his father's race is listed as "African", yet the term used in the early 60's, when the document was allegedly recorded, was actually "Negro". They also claim that government agencies that tracked statistics had narrow guidelines of how to record that information so that statistics could be kept.<br /><br />I am not an expert, so I don't know if perhaps Kenya would still have been a valid option to record on a birth certificate regardless of its official independence and whether or not his father could have been recorded as "African" since he actually was "African". I would think other birth certificates could be examined and compared to see, though perhaps the odds of finding someone born in Hawaii with a father from Kenya, East Africa are very slim.</div>

<br /><b>IS IT A MATTER OF RACE?</b><br /><br />This is a good place to interject that this is <i>not</i> a matter of race! If there were the same questions surrounding anyone — regardless of their color, race, gender, or religion — many people would want to know more. In fact, though a much lesser issue in terms of the affairs of our nation, recall that President Clinton was under a lot of scrutiny for his affairs with Monica Lewinsky. George W. Bush was sharply criticized for his behavior during his college years and President Nixon was forced to resign from office for engaging in unlawful behavior that had much less impact on his presidency than does the issue about President Obama's birth certificate.<br /><br />There is no doubt that Timothy McVeigh would get equal or more scrutiny if he were president and his ideologies and credentials were in question. Indeed it's about a much more important matter: we are trying to explore the beliefs, values, and political ideology held by the person holding the most powerful position in the United States and whether or not they are in line with the best interests of the United States.<br /><br />Playing the "race card" about this issue is divisive and only diverts attention where it need not be. The real attention should be about the Constitution of the United States, whether or not the person holding the highest office in the land is adhering to the law of the land, and the purpose that requirement for being President of the United States is there to begin with...</div>

<div>
<br /><b>CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE PRESIDENT</b><br /><br />The founding fathers of the United States did a fantastic job drawing up our Constitution. It took them a long time to do so as they carefully thought out, debated, and finally agreed to all that its comprised of. They carefully added many important things: like establishing the three branches of government, wherein a system of "checks and balances" was put into our governmental system; establishing what congress may and may not do; creating the courts and their function; and ensuring U.S. citizens enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and so on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Article II of the Constitution establishes the Office of the President and requirements thereof. Therein we have the law that someone must be a natural born citizen, age 35, have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years prior, and so on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why were those requirements included? Were the founders just arbitrarily adding some meaningless law to the Constitution? No, of course not!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, then, what were they thinking? It's quite clear if you logically think about it: they were recognizing that it would be in the best interest of the U.S. if they could reasonably ensure that the person holding the highest office in the land was absolutely loyal to the U.S.; thus, all of the beliefs, values, political ideology and consequent decisions that person made always had the best interest of the U.S. in mind. Now whether or not the policies were always right, at least it could be reasonably assured the right intentions were there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

That is why it is an important issue. If the President of the United States has had substantial influence from another nation's ideas or from a religion that is hateful and opposed to the religion that most of the citizens of the U.S. hold, then it is very important to know that. In essence, it protects us from "enemies, both foreign and domestic", as it helps us avoid having someone that is really a "spy" of sorts making policy not in the best interest of the U.S. During the campaign President Obama repeatedly said there would be "change", though the question that was not asked is, "Exactly what kind of change?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br /><b>WHERE HAS THE PRESS BEEN?</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeS86IqASmEQNy0_oU2VP5osv_KEXGApzXdqagwaJC9HZ82f9LZ9ILB8y-kqJls_9_imBUHIWRLfdnseRDWG1OxMIlcLPT3QJvKHM5MZXaaOGNnLk-_zCyLDWHJoSMvXckanrZKoEcjdAZ/s1600/news.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; color: #2f5b85; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" id="ICE-img-3" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeS86IqASmEQNy0_oU2VP5osv_KEXGApzXdqagwaJC9HZ82f9LZ9ILB8y-kqJls_9_imBUHIWRLfdnseRDWG1OxMIlcLPT3QJvKHM5MZXaaOGNnLk-_zCyLDWHJoSMvXckanrZKoEcjdAZ/s1600/news.jpg" style="border: none; position: relative;" /></a></div>
What makes that issue difficult to deal with is that the press is readily accepting the document, though we have to seriously question if the press is doing its job!!! Why this issue was not investigated while President Obama was running for office rather than actually holding the office is astounding. Where was the press when there was substantial ambiguity about the man running for President of the United States?<br /><br />The question should be asked, "Why wasn't the birth certificate released long ago given it was asked for time and time again?" The mainstream press is not asking that very important question. Was it not provided to make some point that we have no right to know or that it should not be a constitutional requirement? I can't see either of those reasons settling well with most people. It was either a blatant act of defiance, or there is another reason. Frankly, I can not think of any <i>good</i>reason nor have I seen one proposed.</div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
Another important consideration about this matter is this: why isn't the press wanting to know about the college papers President Obama wrote? While not the "all knowing, all telling" indication of one's beliefs, values, and political ideology, I would think they could weigh into the matter at least some. Put another way, why is President Obama hiding that information? In fact, it's still ambiguous to me where President Obama went to school, what he was taught, who his friends are/were, what his friends and teachers have to say about him, etc.</div>

<br />Many employers require that one's work history be valid and ask for official college transcripts conditional to employment, and that is a very reasonable request. Frankly, the "employers" (the American people via the press) did not do their due diligence concerning Barack Obama. We really know very little about him. He was ushered in on a popularity contest where speeches and other factors played a larger role than the substance behind the man.</div>

Had the issue of the birth certificate and such been discussed prior to the presidential election, the American people could have, at that time, made the decision at the polls of whether or not it was an issue. (Though arguably the founding fathers intended for it be a <i>law</i>, not something we vote on based on "popularity".) We'll never know how it may have played out, because the press did not do its job and, therefore, the issue is still being dealt with now, after the election.<br /><br />As for correcting the problem, to do so would require that the press essentially report on itself about how poor of a job it did, which is not likely to happen. Also, many people in the mainstream media likely voted for President Obama, therefore they have further motives to ignore this issue. Except for web sites like this, the issue will not likely get any attention. If you dare to share this blog, then perhaps you can help.</div>

Consequently, there is still a cloud of doubt about whether or not President Obama is actually <i>legally</i> holding the office of President of the United States. Now, some people are quick (too quick) to say that it should be a non-issue and that anyone discussing the matter is doing so foolishly. They mention that our economy is in trouble, we have conflicts going on around the world, and that there are otherwise many other issues to be addressed. It's for exactly those reasons that this <i>is </i>an important issue. As noted before, the founding fathers of the United States thought it was quite important!</div>

Had the document been released a long time ago, questions of whether or not it is legitimate would have long been dismissed or dealt with; but that is far from the case. I won't rehash some of the points that reasonably question its legitimacy, but I think the main point is worth asking: what, then, was the motivation behind hiding this document for so long? Why hide a document substantiating one's legal eligibility to be in office (and pay so much money to do so) only to eventually produce it?</div>

Moreover, all too readily accepting a document that was produced years later and still has a lot of questions about its authenticity is foolish at best, and hints of not wanting to address the deeper issue at hand: who is the man holding the highest office in the nation, what are his values, what is his political ideology, and therefore what is his agenda?<br /><br />Time will tell how this all plays out, though I'm not sure if it will ever be settled. Should the Lord tarry, it could go down as one of the most unsolved conspiracy theories ever. Who shot Kennedy, what happened at Roswell, did President Obama ever legally hold the office of President of the United States... ? </div>

President Obama has demonstrated that he has the moral and political fortitude to push his own agenda, regardless of the wishes of most Americans. We need only look to the Health Care Bill which was passed despite obvious opposition by the American people. Many elected officials in the Legislative Branch made deals, bowed to political pressure from the White House, and essentially ignored what their constituents wanted. It was one of the major reasons so many democrat incumbents who assisted in doing so were voted out of office in the recent elections. It's a topic all its own and I only use it to set up the thesis of another important matter...</div>

I believe a much more grave issue of prophetic proportions is on the horizon. Namely that now that the elections are over, President Obama will turn his attention to the Middle East; and while most Americans support Israel, there is strong evidence that President Obama does not! </div>

What makes President Obama's potential to dismiss the best interest and wishes of the American people even more ominous is that the office he holds is arguably the most powerful political office in the world. Historically, the U.S. has exercised it veto power within the U.N. because it only does what is in the best interest of the U.S. and its close allies; therefore, Israel has been saved from its enemies within the U.N. However, if President Obama's campaign platform of "change" were to extend to that area of policy too, then the U.S. would withdraw that support and leave Israel very vulnerable to U.N. resolutions that would not favor the nation of Israel.</div>

So, then, it's not really of any surprise that we have recently seen the United States pulling back its support for Israel compared to the strong alliance the United States and Israel once enjoyed. In his speech to the U.N. General Assembly in late September 2009, President Obama said, <i>“</i><i>America</i><i> does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements.”</i> First, let's note that he is speaking as if he is speaking for "America", yet poll after poll suggest that is not how most U.S. citizens view Israel! Once again we are witness to the fact President Obama will do whatever his own personal agenda and beliefs dictate, regardless of how most Americans feel about a given issue. President Obama was talking about Israel building homes in the area of land called the West Bank, yet this is land that is rightfully Israel’s via a promise from God to Abraham <i>and his descendants</i> recorded in <a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Genesis 15.18-21" data-version="niv" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Genesis%2015.18-21" style="color: #2f5b85; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Genesis 15:18-21</a>, as well as by the fact Israel took the land back during the Six-Day War, which they were lawfully allowed to do under international law (not unlike how most nations, including the United States, have the land they now occupy).<br /><br /><div style="line-height: 15.85pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's important that we recognize Israel is very small and does not have land that it can easily afford to give away, especially when we understand that it is still rapidly growing in population. Moreover, if the West Bank were to be given to the Palestinians, Israel would then be only nine miles wide in a location directly north of Tel Aviv. As we look at a map, we realize that it would be nearly dividing the country in two and that it would make the Israeli citizens much more vulnerable to military attack. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 15.85pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
If that’s not enough, Israel is being asked to give the land to an enemy that time and time again has fired missiles and launched attacks against Israel and her people. What makes President Obama's rhetoric even more suspicious is that after the disputed elections in Iran (with protestors in the streets complaining the election was not democratic), he said that he would not get involved because Iran was a sovereign nation; yet a short time later we saw him getting involved with Israel's right to build homes within its own borders, and he continues to do so today as much as ever.</div>

Another disconcerting issue is that when President Obama was elected, the American people knew so very little about him (and to some extent we still don't know all that much, especially in light of the position he holds). As Chuck Missler once said, "The U.S. population got an I.Q. Test, and failed!" Indeed our knowledge of President Obama's school records and place of birth are murky at best, as he spends a considerable amount of money keeping them from our awareness. WHY? Anyone with a reasonable amount of discernment knows he is hiding something.<br /><br />To use an analogy, it would be like walking into the kitchen and finding a plate of cookies beside a 3 year old that is standing there with his hands behind his back. You then ask him if he has anything in his hands and he sheepishly replies, "no". So you ask if you can see his hands and he refuses to show you. You ask several more times, at first nicely, and then a little more sternly, perhaps even demanding that you see his hands; and yet he still refuses, and even begins to retreat. If he didn't have something to hide, then why would he just not show his hands to easily prove that? Obviously because he does, indeed, have something to hide.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />President Obama <i>says</i> he is a Christian, but he gives every indication he is a Muslim through his actions. As we all know, actions speak louder than words. Moreover, according to the Koran, a Muslim has permission to lie to the "infidels" (even pretending to befriend them) if doing so ultimately will help the Nation of Islam. It is called “Al-taqiyya.” Consequently, we should look to one's actions, not their words, more than ever concerning such matters. Not because we are on some religious "witch hunt", but because knowing someone's faith (particularly someone that holds a powerful position and whose faith is hateful and violent against anyone outside that faith), helps us determine what their underlying motives, beliefs, political and religious agenda may be. As we do so with President Obama, I believe the actions are telling...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />Referring to the United States, President Obama has gone out of his way more than once to proclaim we are not a Christian nation. Why would a Christian, surely either aware of our deep Christian heritage or extremely ill-equipped to hold the office of President, say that about the United States? Moreover, why would he say that the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on earth", when anyone with just a little knowledge about such matters understands that Islam commands its followers to hate Christians? Surely, he knows that the Muslim faith contradicts God's Word wherein Jesus says in <a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="John 14.6" data-version="niv" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/John%2014.6" style="color: #2f5b85; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">John 14:6</a>, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."<br /><br />Also, in a speech he distinguished himself from Christians that believes in the authority of the Bible by saying, “Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do.” He then went on in that speech to make fun of scripture and take some verses out of context. Does that sound like something a true Christian would do?</div>

Moreover, examining his actions, we know that President Obama stands against the principles most Christians hold dear. For example, he is pro-abortion (and even supports the horrendous partial-birth abortion practices that many pro-abortion people concede is going too far) and he strongly supports homosexuality (despite numerous places in the Bible explaining it is an immoral lifestyle that God does not condone).<br /><br /><br /><div style="line-height: 15.85pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<b>WHERE IS THE </b><b>U.S.</b><b> IN END-TIMES BIBLE PROPHECY?</b></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 15.85pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
When I speak to people about Bible prophecy, one of the questions often asked is where the U.S. fits into the prophetic scene. The Bible says that at the very least the U.S. will not be on the side of Israel. That also has to take place because of the way in which God once again will permit Israel to be victorious, which would not be as miraculous if a superpower were on Israel’s side. The reason why the U.S. will be “against Israel” is not clearly known. Many eschatologists theorize that the Rapture will have taken the Christians (and thus, the driving force behind why the U.S. is “Jewish-friendly”) away. Indeed, such an event would thrust the entire world into a chaotic situation and open the need for a so-called “savior” to offer peace and stability to a world in turmoil; hence, it would provide an opportune time for the Antichrist to enter the scene.<br /><br />There are many other theories that, when especially combined with the rapture theory, easily explain how the U.S. will be absent from end-times prophecy. I explain them all in my book, <u><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.learnbibleprophecy.com/Pray-That-You-May-Escape-Book-Description.html" style="color: #2f5b85; text-decoration: none;"><i>Pray That You May Escape</i></a></span></u>; but for the lack of space and due to the focus of this article, I will not include them all here. Suffice it to say, no matter <i>how </i>it happens, we know it <i>will </i>happen because God's Word says so.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div align="justify">One of the many signs that we are living in the end times is the epidemic of homosexuality that is sweeping the world today.</div><div align="justify">Jesus said He would return at a time when society resembled <i>"the days of Noah"</i> (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Matthew 24.37" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Matthew%2024.37" target="_blank">Matthew 24:37</a>). The Old Testament tells us that in the time of Noah <i>"the earth was corrupt in God's sight"</i> (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Genesis 6.11" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Genesis%206.11" target="_blank">Genesis 6:11</a>). The New Testament reveals in stark detail the nature of that corruption.</div><div align="justify"><br />
<b>The Nature of Noah's Age</b></div><div align="justify">The description of Noah's society is found in chapter one of Romans. Paul writes that the society was characterized first of all by the rejection of God and the worship of Man (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 1.18-25" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Romans%201.18-25" target="_blank">Romans 1:18-25</a>). Because of this stubborn and foolish rejection of their Creator, God <i>"gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity,"</i> and there was an outbreak of sexual immorality (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 1.24" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Romans%201.24" target="_blank">Romans 1:24</a>).</div><br />
<div align="center"><img alt="From the Supreme Court of Heaven" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671166636849901986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYoldtpWfSkqS_ruP6QZDTuvJ9OatH84YziOgFw230glSFjx658ixtzpub-cc0A1aS5aklLSrHdZxe2566QA87UVW2Ol3ySGe5b3idUc5j_RqYUmapLYxzGVaRUvbhxmGTu34VTu75KVM/s400/cartoon_0819-1.gif" style="display: block; height: 252px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 206px;" title="From the Supreme Court of Heaven" /></div><div align="justify">When they still refused to repent, God <i>"gave them over to degrading passions,"</i> and there followed an epidemic of homosexuality in which <i>"women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural"</i> and men likewise <i>"abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another"</i> (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 1.26-27" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Romans%201.26-27" target="_blank">Romans 1:26-27</a>).</div><div align="justify">Notice the progression here. Man begins to worship himself, his own knowledge and cleverness. As Man begins to worship himself, God is set aside, together with His moral laws. The result is an outbreak of sexual immorality. This leads ultimately to an epidemic of homosexuality, one of the final signs of the moral collapse of any society.</div><div align="justify">Does this sound familiar? It should. It is a vivid description of the moral decline which the world has experienced in this century. We have gone full circle. The society of Noah has reappeared, and it is characterized by the kind of ungodliness and wickedness which provokes the wrath of God (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 1.18" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Romans%201.18" target="_blank">Romans 1:18</a>).</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">There are those who argue that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality. That is sheer nonsense. Homosexuality is condemned as a sin against God in both the Old and New Testaments. It was one of the sins for which the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed (Genesis 19). It was specifically singled out in the Mosaic Law as <i>"an abomination"</i> (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Leviticus 18.22" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Leviticus%2018.22" target="_blank">Leviticus 18:22</a>). In fact, the Mosaic Law prescribed the death penalty for such activity (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Leviticus 20.13" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Leviticus%2020.13" target="_blank">Leviticus 20:13</a>).</div><div align="justify">In the New Testament Paul specifically condemns homosexual activity. He says it is unrighteousness and that it will keep one from inheriting the kingdom of God: <i>"Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."</i></div><div align="justify">In his first letter to Timothy, Paul again refers to the sin of homosexuality. He classifies homosexuals with those who are <i>"lawless and rebellious," "ungodly," "unholy and profane"</i> (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="1 Timothy 1.9-10" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/1%20Timothy%201.9-10" target="_blank">1 Timothy 1:9-10</a>).</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><b>The Humanist Viewpoint</b><br />
</div><div align="justify">Many humanist Christian leaders have tried to explain away these scriptures. In the process, they have endorsed homosexuality as an "alternative lifestyle," and they have tried to justify the ordination of practicing homosexuals.</div><br />
<div align="center"><img alt="Bible on Homosexuality" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671168163173391778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsgbjiLKIKMPxO3NuhUrgoIz11BSUgEJE8OOWBP2ehbn_LL1aiezQc7sT8OrXqwFgfIsL_fR1PFQ_G3UZ74P30xMsVHYcfeL_3rXj-wNBhMgaHVmI9I-9cUT0reuZ72dVLyta2RwGR2z4/s400/cartoon_0819-2.gif" style="display: block; height: 252px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 218px;" title="Bible on Homosexuality" /></div><div align="justify">These religious leaders are caught up in spiritual darkness. They are the type referred to by Paul when he wrote: <i>"Though they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them"</i> (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 1.32" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Romans%201.32" target="_blank">Romans 1:32</a>).</div><div align="justify">These deluded leaders usually argue that the Old Testament expresses superstition about homosexuality and that the New Testament expresses Paul's personal prejudice. These arguments, of course, reveal a rejection of Scripture as being inspired by the Holy Spirit.</div><div align="justify">They then add insult to injury by asserting that homosexuality could not be all that bad because Jesus never condemned it. What a pitiful argument! That's like saying there is nothing wrong with child molestation, incest, or bestiality because Jesus never specifically condemned these sexual perversions.</div><div align="justify"><br />
<b>The Viewpoint of Jesus</b></div><div align="justify">The fact is that Jesus had a lot to say about sexual morality, and what He had to say clearly rules out homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle before God.</div><div align="justify">In Matthew 19 Jesus taught that all sexual unions must be judged in reference to God's original intention and not in terms of human opinion and desire. And Jesus proceeded to point out that God's original intention was that <i>"a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh"</i> (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Matthew 19.5" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Matthew%2019.5" target="_blank">Matthew 19:5</a>).</div><div align="justify">In other words, Jesus clearly taught that the only moral sexual relationship is the one that occurs within marriage.</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><b> Homosexuality as an End Times Sign: The Homosexual Response</b></div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Increasingly, the homosexual community is responding to criticisms of its lifestyle by arguing: "We are born as homosexuals. Being homosexual is as natural as being left handed. We have no more choice about our sexual orientation than a person has about his skin color. We should therefore be given special civil rights protection like other minority groups."</div><div align="justify">It sounds good. But it is a lie of Satan. The Word of God places no condemnation upon a person's sex, skin color, or national origin. In fact, the Bible says that <i>"God is no respecter of persons"</i> (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 2.11" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Romans%202.11" target="_blank">Romans 2:11</a>). But the Bible clearly condemns a sexual preference for a person of the same sex. Would a loving God who sent His Son to die for the sins of the world condemn someone for something they have no control over? The answer is obvious.</div><div align="justify">Furthermore, there is no credible scientific evidence whatsoever that sexual preference is genetically determined like skin color. Several scientists have made the claim, including some recently, but none of their studies have stood the test of scientific investigation. In fact, all the evidence points to the fact that homosexuality is a lifestyle choice.</div><div align="justify">Certainly there are people who seem to be naturally tempted by a person of the same sex. Such temptation derives from the sin nature that all of us are born with. But that does not mean that giving in to the temptation is okay. After all, people with a normal sexual orientation are often tempted to have sexual relations outside of marriage, but the Bible clearly condemns both fornication and adultery.</div><div align="justify"><br />
<b>"Normality"</b></div><div align="justify">Homosexuals also like to respond to their critics by arguing that the scientific community has declared their lifestyle to be "normal." In this regard they point to the decision that was made by the American Psychiatric Association in 1974 to remove homosexuality from its list of pathological psychiatric conditions.</div><div align="justify">It is true that the APA took such an action, but what is not so well known is the fact that the action was entirely political in nature and not motivated by any new scientific discoveries. This became evident in later surveys of the members of the association. Those surveys showed that the majority of the APA membership still viewed homosexual behavior as pathological. And four years after the vote, another survey revealed that 69% of psychiatrists still believed that homosexuality "usually represents a pathological adaptation."</div><div align="justify"><br />
<b>"Homophobia"</b></div><div align="justify">Another response of homosexuals to their critics has been to label them "homophobic." This is a very effective response, because no one wants to be accused of being prejudiced.</div><div align="justify">But a phobia is an irrational fear. Is it irrational to fear homosexuals? I think not. They are carriers of deadly diseases. They are determined to destroy the God ordained concept of the family. And the Bible teaches that their unchecked presence in any society will ultimately result in God pouring out His wrath on that society. As you can see, there are some very rational reasons to fear homosexuals.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><b>Homosexuality as an End Times Sign: Consequences</b></div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Let's consider for a moment the homosexual political agenda. It's a radical one that most people are not really aware of. If enacted, it would serve to undermine the Biblical concept of the family.</div><div align="justify">The first goal, of course, is to repeal all state laws against sodomy. Until 1961 every state in the Union had a law against sodomy. Since that time, state after state has repealed its anti-sodomy law due to pressure and threats from homosexual activists and organizations like the ACLU despite the fact that the Supreme Court has consistently upheld the constitutional right of states to pass such laws.</div><div align="justify">Another goal high on the political agenda is to get special laws enacted that would prohibit any kind of discrimination against homosexuals. The proposed laws are broad in scope. Some would prohibit a person from refusing to rent a room in his home to a homosexual. Others would go so far as to penalize a church for refusing to hire a homosexual, and organizations like the Boy Scouts would be required to recruit homosexual leaders. The most ominous laws are those that would classify verbal attacks on the homosexual lifestyle as "hate crimes." The latter laws could be applied to media ministers as well as preachers in the pulpit.</div><div align="justify">Pressure is mounting from homosexual activists groups and their allies (the ACLU, the NEA, and NOW) for the legalization of homosexual marriages in every state. Certain other demands go hand in hand with this one. One is that homosexual couples be given the same tax breaks as traditional families. Another is that such couples be given equal consideration in the adoption of children. And, of course, there are demands that the homosexual "family" be presented in the public schools as an alternative lifestyle.</div><div align="justify"><br />
<b>The "Gay" Lifestyle</b></div><div align="justify">Let's take a closer look at the perverted lifestyle of homosexuals. <i>I warn you ahead of time that the following information is graphic and disturbing.</i></div><div align="justify">Promiscuity is the norm. In a 1978 study, 43% of homosexuals admitted to having sex with more than 500 partners, and 28% to having sex with more than 1,000! They also revealed that most of their sexual partners were anonymous persons with whom they had sex only once. A 1981 study found that only 2% of homosexuals are "near monogamous" meaning that they had 10 or fewer sexual partners in a lifetime.</div><br />
<div align="center"><img alt="Corrupt Roots and the Bumper Crop" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671171871079702994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwurni9UpyqtMDuiju81191I57X0T-4N6VeUDg3sLIlr_17OlQephYwdsyR5zLPdX0itn8ISIdi4NXHi-NigsMS-nSZ-s8-HPn5gMQGR9H66WoHz6AiGQ_JhCdfN-XFMYGWVpO2xcvz04/s400/cartoon_0819-3.gif" style="display: block; height: 245px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 205px;" title="Corrupt Roots and the Bumper Crop" /></div><div align="justify">The sexual practices of homosexuals are even more appalling. The Institute for the Scientific Investigation of Sexuality reports:</div><ol><li>Two-thirds of homosexuals regularly lick and/or insert their tongue into the anus of their partners.</li>
<li>More than one-third participate in "fisting" that is, the insertion of the hand into the rectum of a lover.</li>
<li>Thirty per cent participate in "golden showers." This is where one person urinates on the other, sometimes into the mouth of his lover.</li>
<li>Thirty-seven per cent admitted participating in some form of sado-masochism (torture for sexual pleasure).</li>
<li>Ninety per cent admitted to some form of illegal drug use.</li>
<li>Seventeen per cent said they had either eaten or rubbed themselves with the feces of a partner!</li>
</ol><div align="justify">Gay? The old derisive term, "Queer," seems more appropriate.</div><div align="justify"><br />
<b>The Deadly Pay-Off</b></div><div align="justify">Satan has attempted to disguise the sinfulness of homosexuality by having it dubbed "the gay lifestyle." But God will not be mocked. The Bible teaches that we reap what we sow (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Galatians 6.7" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Galatians%206.7" target="_blank">Galatians 6:7</a>).</div><div align="justify">The Apostle Paul says that homosexuals suffer the consequence of their sin by <i>"receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error"</i> (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 1.27" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Romans%201.27" target="_blank">Romans 1:27</a>). The truth of that statement has always been evidenced in the psychological suffering of homosexuals.</div><div align="justify">But the statement has taken on new significance in recent years with the sudden outbreak of specifically homosexual diseases like AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), originally known as "the Gay Plague."</div><div align="justify">The result of their filthy sexual practices and their gross promiscuity is that the homosexual community is plagued with disease. Two-thirds of all AIDS cases result from homosexual activity, and homosexuals account for one-half of all syphilis cases even though they constitute only 1% of the population.</div><div align="justify">It is no wonder that the average age of homosexuals dying with AIDS is 39. The average age of homosexuals dying of all other causes is 41. And only 1% of homosexuals live to the age of 65! That compares to 73% of heterosexual males who live to age 65 or over.</div><div align="justify">Homosexuality is not an alternative "lifestyle." It is an alternative "deathstyle"!</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><b> Homosexuality as an End Times Sign: Hope for the Homosexual</b></div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><b>Is there hope for the homosexual?</b></div><div align="justify">Yes, there is. The only hope is Jesus Christ. Through the power of His Spirit, the homosexual can be delivered from bondage to his sin, either by receiving complete deliverance from his perverted lust or by receiving the power to control the lust.</div><div align="justify">The most encouraging message any homosexual could ever be given is one contained in the Word of God in <a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="I Corinthians 6.9-11" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/I%20Corinthians%206.9-11" target="_blank">I Corinthians 6:9-11</a>. This passage begins with some very bad news, but it ends with incredibly good news. The bad news is put in the following words: <i>"Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."</i></div><div align="justify">Paul minces no words in this statement, and the impact is devastating. Homosexuals are condemned with the worst of sinners. But in the very next verse, Paul provides a wonderful glimpse of hope for the homosexual: <i>"And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God."</i></div><div align="justify">Isn't that marvelous? Those words were addressed to saved children of God! Paul says, <i>"And such were some of you."</i> Yes, some of the Christians at Corinth had been sexual perverts, but they had been delivered from their bondage by the power of God in Christ Jesus. Their sins had been forgiven and forgotten by a God who does not wish that any should perish (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Hebrews 8.12" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Hebrews%208.12" target="_blank">Hebrews 8:12</a> and <a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="2 Peter 3.9" data-version="NIV" href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/2%20Peter%203.9" target="_blank">2 Peter 3:9</a>).</div><div align="justify">Like all sinners, the homosexual will find forgiveness and deliverance when he gets on his knees and repents of his sin. He will also find acceptance in the Church.</div><div align="justify"><br />
<b>The Church</b></div><div align="justify">The Church has been severely criticized for having a "condemning attitude" toward homosexuals. The criticism is unjustified.</div><div align="justify">The Church cannot receive homosexuals into its fellowship when they come without repenting, demanding that the Church endorse their sin. To do so would be equivalent to the Church accepting adulterers who brag of their sexual conquests and refuse to repent.</div><div align="justify">Yes, the Church is a hospital for sinners and not a spiritual Phi Beta Kappa society. But the Church is a hospital for sinners who are willing to confess their sins and seek reconciliation with God.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914116689627893137.post-88115755200085132292011-10-11T15:06:00.000-07:002011-10-11T15:06:37.785-07:00Vaya Acuerdo<div class="Title Border Dotted"> <span class="Date">Martes, 11 de octubre de 2011 | 23:24</span> <h1>Israel acuerda intercambiar 1000 terrorisas por Gilad Shalit</h1><h1><span style="font-size: small;">El gobierno de Israel acordó con el Hamás de liberar al soldado israelí Gilad Shalit a cambio de más de 1000 terroristas palestinos.</span></h1><div class="Text Border Dotted clearfix"> El acuerdo luego de varios años de negociaciones en los cuales hubo adelantos y retrocesos, fue aceptado por el gabinete del gobierno israelí que lidera el Primer Ministro Binyamin Netanyahu.<br />

Con las crecientes tensiones entre Irán – como una potencia nuclear ostensible – e Israel, estos pasajes son el objeto de mucha discusión y debate actuales. Sin embargo, el enfoque convencional deja aún una serie de incoherencias y contradicciones desconcertantes. Ezequiel 38 indica que Israel está morando confiadamente y “sin muros”. Sin embargo, cuando visitamos ahí somos confrontados con una pared de 430 millas de largo y 25 pies de altura. Y ser bombardeados continuamente con cientos de misiles por Hamás e Hizbolá difícilmente es morar “confiadamente”. </span><br />

<br />
Es extremadamente provocativo contrastar los atacantes de Ezequiel 38 con los participantes descritos en Salmo 83, que detalla combatientes vecinos inmediatos. Además, ellos tienen también una agenda distintivamente diferente que el grupo del relato de Ezequiel:</span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="color: black;"><em><span style="color: #000099;">Oh Dios, no guardes silencio; no te quedes, oh Dios, callado e impasible. Mira cómo se alborotan tus enemigos, cómo te desafían los que te odian. Con astucia conspiran contra tu pueblo; conspiran contra aquellos a quienes tú estimas. Y dicen: «¡Vengan, destruyamos su nación! ¡Qué el nombre de Israel no vuelva a recordarse!» Como un solo hombre se confabulan; han hecho un pacto contra ti:</span></em> (<span style="color: red;">Salmo 83: 1-5, NVI</span>)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Ésta parece ser una diferencia significativa entre la motivación de Magog y sus aliados, la cual es tomar despojos. Estos combatientes son los vecinos inmediatos, quienes continúan acosando y atormentando hoy a Israel y están comprometidos descaradamente con ¡borrar a Israel del mapa!<br />
<br />
Además, los participantes específicos destacados aquí son cercanos y no los incluidos en el relato de Ezequiel:</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Muchos pueden sorprenderse de que la identidad de las “Tiendas de Edom” incluye a los “palestinos” de hoy. Éste es un tema que será abordado en un artículo siguiente, rastreando el origen del “olam ebah” – el “Odio Eterno” – de Jacob y Esaú desde el vientre, y el desprecio de Esaú hacia el pacto de la primogenitura, hasta la rencorosoa endogamia de Esaú con las ismaelitas, continuando el “odio eterno” hasta este día<span style="color: red;"><strong>(2).</strong></span> Mientras los babilonios tomaban cautiva a Judá, los edomitas (“idumeos”, en griego), bajo la presión de los nabateos en el este, se trasladaron al oeste y establecieron su propia “Idumea”, abarcando Hebrón y sus alrededores.<br />

<br />
Todos los miembros de la Confederación detallada en Salmo 83 son musulmanes. Cada uno de ellos es el sujeto de juicios específicos que están detallados en Ezequiel 25 hasta el 32. Sin embargo, el asunto principal de todo el episodio es hacer un punto específico:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman;"><em><span style="color: #000099;">Y conozcan que tu nombre es Jehová; Tú solo Altísimo sobre toda la tierra.</span></em> (<span style="color: red;">Salmo 83:18, Reina Valera 1960</span>)<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: black;"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">1.</span></strong> Israel es reunido en la Tierra (Ez. 37:12; Is. 11:11-12; Dt. 30:3-5).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">2.</span></strong> Las ciudades antiguas son reedificadas y habitadas (Ez. 36:1-5, 8-10).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">3.</span></strong> Ellos encuentran resistencia musulmana/“árabe” (Jer. 49:16; Sof. 2:8; Ez. 25:12, 32:5, 36:2, Abd. 1:10).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">4.</span></strong> Israel establece un ejército para la defensa – vea también #10 (Ez. 36:6-7; 38:8).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">5.</span></strong> Las naciones musulmanas adyacentes se confederan (Sal. 83:1-8).<br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>6.</strong></span> La Confederación se compromete con la destrucción de Israel (Sal. 83:1-5, 12).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">7.</span></strong> La guerra empieza entre la Confederación e Israel (Jer. 49:2, 8, 19).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">8.</span></strong> Se recupera el título: “Mi pueblo Israel” (Os. 1:8-10; Ro. 9:25, 26; Ez. 36:8-12).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">9.</span></strong> Israel derrota decisivamente a la Confederación (Abd. 1:9, 18; Ez. 25:13, 14; Jer. 49:10, 20-21, 23-26; Is. 11:12-14; 17:1; 19:16-17).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">10.</span></strong> Israel se ha transformado en “un ejército grande en extremo” (Ez. 37:10; Jer. 49:21).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">11.</span></strong> Israel toma prisioneros de guerra (Jer 48:46, 47; 49:3, 6, 11; Sof. 2:10, 11).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">12.</span></strong> La región es reformada (Is. 17:1; Jer. 49:2, Sof. 2:4).<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">13.</span></strong> Israel expande sus fronteras (Abd. 1:19; Jer. 49:2; Is. 19:18, 19).</span></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: black;"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">14.</span></strong> Israel “mora confiadamente” en la Tierra (Ez. 38:10-12)</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: black;">Esto, entonces, pareciera preparar el escenario para los eventos posteriores de Ezequiel 38 y 39. Si este enfoque es correcto, ¡podría haber una gran sorpresa lista para revelarse que reestructurará totalmente el Medio Oriente!<br />
<br />
“La única barrera certera a la verdad es la presunción de que ya la tienes”. Nuestro desafío es mantener una mente abierta y estudiar diligentemente, reexaminando continuamente las numerosas presuposiciones que tienden a cegarnos a todos. ¡Estamos, ciertamente, entrando a uno de los tiempos más emocionantes en la historia del Planeta Tierra! ¡Qué sea el Espíritu Santo siendo su guía personal mientras continúa su “búsqueda del tesoro” de escudriñar las Sagradas Escrituras para demostrar que estas cosas son así!</span></span><br />

Even hard-line Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is starting to sound conciliatory.<br />
Is Jerusalem softening its hard-line stance? After weeks of confrontation with friend and foe alike, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chose unusually conciliatory words in thanking the Egyptian government for its help during the storm by Egyptian protesters on the Israeli embassy in Cairo.<br />
If Netanyahu is now backing down, it is because the situation is very serious. The Israelis are no strangers to crisis, but they will remember the last few weeks for a long time. Rarely has the Jewish state suffered so many setbacks and blows:<br />
* On Sept. 1, pro-Palestinian activists in London interrupted a performance by the Israeli Symphony Orchestra so vehemently that the BBC had to break off its broadcast of the concert for the first time in its history.<br />
* On Sept. 6, it became known that former US Defense Secretary Robert Gates had described Netanyahu as “ungrateful” in a meeting of the National Security Council. By refusing to acknowledge Israel’s growing isolation, Netanyahu was endangering his country, Gates said.<br />
* The dispute between Turkey and Israel over Israel’s refusal to apologize for the deaths of nine Turkish activists in a 2010 Israeli raid on a Turkish boat carrying aid for Gaza culminated when Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador, cancelled its military cooperation with Jerusalem and announced it would provide military protection for Turkish ships heading to Gaza in the future.<br />
* The Palestinian leadership has vowed to seek full United Nations membership for a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank at the UN General Assembly in New York on Sept. 20.<br />
* Thousands of demonstrators gathered in front of the Israeli embassy in Cairo, tore a hole in the surrounding wall, stormed part of the building and held six Israelis under siege for hours.<br />
Defense Minister Ehud Barak, a long-time opponent of Netanyahu, is leading calls for a change in policy. According to <em>Haaretz,</em> Barak told fellow cabinet ministers that if Israel fails to try to move the peace process forward, it will be seen as obstructionist by its friends in the West.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,serif;">Contrary to many reports, Israel never had and apparently never will have allies, although some nations have halfheartedly confessed to be friends, but only temporarily and due to political opportunity.<br />
Why no allies? The answer is found in Numbers 23:9, “For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.” We do well to keep biblical facts unpolluted from politically motivated statements. Israel is destined to be alone because the Bible says that salvation will come out of Zion. Jesus confirms, “Salvation is of the Jews.” These simple facts are the real reason for Israel’s isolation, and not the political maneuvering whether to the left or the right.<br />
Israel will experience a temporary end to their isolation when the words of the Lord are fulfilled, “I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive” (John 5:43). That will be the time when the world will be united under the auspices of Antichrist. Then, in the midst of the seven-year tribulation, “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah 30:7). That is Israel’s hope, the guarantee of the prophetic Word, “He shall be saved out of it.”</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914116689627893137.post-46545834489946795892011-09-15T13:05:00.000-07:002011-09-15T13:05:10.813-07:00Pivotal Moment for Israel Special Report by David Parsons 15 September 2011<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="yui_3_2_0_1_1316113960750541"><tbody id="yui_3_2_0_1_1316113960750538">

</tbody></table>The month of September 2011 may well go down as one of the most pivotal moments in Israel's modern's history, as the entire Middle East is convulsing before our </span><span>very eyes. </span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span>September was already earmarked as a key date on the regional calendar due to the looming diplomatic showdown over Palestinian statehood at the United Nations. The Palestinian Authority has refused to back down from its reckless unilateral push for a state along the pre-1967 lines, and thus decided to take a very dangerous path given the volatile political climate in the region. The PA's official calls for mass marches on Israeli towns and checkpoints in support of this effort is already inviting chaos and bloodshed. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span>But then suddenly last week, Israel's ambassadors in both Egypt and Turkey were unceremoniously chased from Cairo and Ankara within days of each other. Each nation is a regional power with long-standing security ties and shared concerns with Israel. Yet decades of prodigious efforts to forge close relations, often against the popular will of their peoples, may now be down the drain.<br />
<br />
Only time will tell if this is indeed a rubicon moment for Israel, as the Palestinians sow the seeds of another intifada and strategic ties built up over many years with Egypt and Turkey now face the risk of being irreversibly severed. Even worse, the region could be slipping towards an unthinkable war.<br />
<br />
The Islamist party ruling Turkey has been on a deliberate collision course with Israel for years now and finally found a pretext for breaking off its decades-long strategic alliance with Jerusalem over the Mavi Marmara flotilla raid last year.<br />
<br />
Ankara has demanded an apology and compensation over the flotilla incident, as well as a complete lifting of the Gaza arms blockade. Israel has concluded that these demands are so excessive, it can only mean the Turks really do not want to reconcile. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span> </span></div><table align="left" class="yiv1763987167imgCaptionTable" style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; text-align: center; width: 174px;"><tbody>

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span>Israeli leader Binyamin Netanyahu has said he is determined to "lower the flames", but Erdogan turned up the rhetoric again by claiming this week that the Gaza flotilla incident was "grounds for war". </span><span> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span>Meanwhile, Israel is struggling to maintain its tenuous ties to the ruling military council in Cairo after a cross-border Palestinian terror attack near Eilat left five Egyptian troops dead in the ensuing IDF response.

<br />
So for Israel, there are steep challenges all around: mend fences with Turkey and Egypt, navigate the volatile Arab uprisings, renew peace talks with an obstinate Palestinian leadership, and keep vigilant watch over the looming threat of a nuclear Iran.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span> <br />
Whatever happens next, something about the region has already changed. For the first time since Israel was reborn in 1948, the nation faces the risk of hostilities from the other three major regional powers - Egypt, Turkey and Iran - all at the same time. Can this downward trend ever be turned around?<br />
<br />
The surest answer is that God can and will defend Israel! We are invited to entreat the Lord in prayer to be that mighty Deliverer once again on her behalf. The greatness of the peril only means the deliverance will have to be all that much greater. So please continue to join us in our Isaiah 62 Prayer Initiative, as we set aside every Wednesday of 2011 for a special time of intercession on Israel's behalf.<br />
<br />
We also encourage all our friends and supporters worldwide to continue raising up a biblical standard, by reaching out to the elected leaders in your respective countries with an appeal for fairer treatment of Israel in the international arena. By voting for a premature, unilateral Palestinian state, many nations of the world will be trampling on important moral and legal principles that define the modern global order. The result will undoubtedly be fading prospects for peace, greater instability in the Middle East, and a loss of integrity for the international community.</span></div></td></tr>

Erdogan que visita Egipto junto a una comitiva de altos funcionarios y empresarios aprovechó su discurso en ese país para volver a atacar a Israel.<br />
"Israel tiene que respetar los derechos humanos y actuar como un Estado normal para liberarse del aislamiento" dijo acusando a Israel de violar las leyes internacionales.<br />
"Israel agredió a nueve ciudadanos turcos en aguas internacionales y hace poco también agredió a cinco ciudadanos egipcios, Israel no conoce el significado de la palabra paz" aseguró.<br />
Fuentes cercanas al Primer Ministro aseguraron que se estudian sanciones contra Israel. Entre ellas la obligación a ciudadanos israelíes de obtener visas para ingresar a ese país y la no intervención en caso de que desde su territorio grupos intenten derribar aviones comerciales israelíes.<br />
Erdogan aseguró que continuará con las sanciones hasta que Israel pida perdón por los incidentes ocurridos con el Mármara y hasta que levante el bloqueo de la Franja de Gaza. El líder turco dijo que esta es la única opción para que esta vuelva a tener relaciones diplomáticas y que sino Israel “es la que perderá”.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914116689627893137.post-70674616027582513072011-09-08T23:08:00.000-07:002011-09-08T23:08:34.496-07:00Jueves, 08 de septiembre de 2011 | 17:19 Autoridad Palestina envía pedido de reconocimiento como estado independiente a Naciones UnidasLa Autoridad Palestina envió de forma oficial el pedido a las Naciones Unidas para que se la reconozca como estado independiente.<br />
En la carta enviada a las Naciones Unidas se pide reconocer al nuevo estado y su líder, Mahmoud Abbas pide llevar a cabo una declaración el 23 de Septiembre próximo.<br />
En la carta enviada se acusa a Israel de ocupar territorio, de destruir propiedades y de asesinar palestinos.<br />
Los palestinos intentan que el mundo reconozca su estado independiente en los límites de Judea, Samaria y Gaza.<br />
Se estima que una mayoría de los países votarán a favor de este estado y así se presionará a Israel a negociar con los palestinos.<br />
El gobierno del Primer Ministro Binyamin Netanyahu intentó negociar durante los últimos meses aunque los palestinos se negaron ya que adujeron que hasta que Israel no acepte las condiciones delineadas por el Presidente Obama de negociar en base a las fronteras del 67, no se sentarían en la mesa de negociaciones.<br />
Al darse a conocer la noticia hoy, los Estados Unidos dijeron que vetarán la propuesta de la Autoridad Palestina en las Naciones Unidas.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914116689627893137.post-41916978990077219202011-08-24T16:50:00.000-07:002011-08-25T14:48:11.565-07:00The Land of Israel To whom does it belong?By Dr. David R. Reagan<br />
<br />
The answer is really very simple. God gave the land of Israel to Abraham (Genesis 17:8) and to his descendants through Isaac (Genesis 26:2-5) and Jacob (Genesis 28:1-4,13-14).<br />
That means the land belongs to the descendants of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. In other words, the land belongs to the children of Israel, referred to in the New Testament as the Jews (Romans 1:16).<br />
Some immediately protest this claim by arguing that the Abrahamic Covenant has been abrogated either by the Cross or by the disobedience of the Jews. But the Bible clearly teaches that the Abrahamic Covenant is an everlasting one that is still in effect (Genesis 17:7; 1 Chronicles 16:17-18; Psalm 105:8-11; and Romans 9:4).<br />
As to the effect of the Jew's rejection of Jesus, Paul specifically addresses this question in Romans 3. He asks a rhetorical question: "What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?" For almost two thousand years the Church has answered this question with a resounding, Yes! But Paul answers it differently. He says, "May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar..." (Romans 3:1-4).<br />
Further, Paul states in Romans 11 that the disobedience of the Jews has not nullified the promises of God to them, "for the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable" (Romans 11:29). God's promises are going to be fulfilled to a believing remnant (Romans 9: 27). In fact, in Romans 9:4, Paul specifically states that God's promises to the Jews are still valid.<br />
<br />
<b>Two Land Covenants</b><br />
What most people do not know is that there are two Old Testament covenants pertaining to the land of Israel. The Abrahamic Covenant gives the title of the land to the Jews in perpetuity. A later covenant, the Mosaic Land Covenant — or Canaan Covenant — of Deuteronomy 28-30 defines the conditions for possession and enjoyment of the land.<br />
This latter covenant is often referred to as the "Palestinian Covenant," but that is a misnomer, for the land was never called Palestine until after the second Jewish revolt in 132-135 A.D. At that time the Romans dubbed it "Palestine" to erase the memory of its Jewish heritage and to insult the Jews, for Palestine is the Latin word for Philistine, the ancient enemy of Israel.<br />
<br />
Let me illustrate the role and relationship of these two covenants with a modern day example. Let's say you buy a car for a child of yours and put the title in the child's name. But you explain to the child that there are conditions for using the car — such as no speeding. And you warn your child that a speeding ticket will result in the loss of the privilege of driving the car for a period of two weeks. If the child gets a ticket and you lock the car up in the garage for two weeks, the car still belongs to the child because the child's name is on the title. But the child has temporarily lost possession of the vehicle.<br />
In like manner, the Abrahamic Covenant (about 2,000 B.C.) gave the title of the land to the Jews for eternity. The Canaan Covenant (about 1,250 B.C.) defined the terms for possession and use of the land. Title and possession are not the same thing. The Jews have lost possession of the land from time to time, but they have never lost their God-given title.<br />
<br />
<b>The Canaan Covenant</b><br />
The Land Covenant promised that Israel would become the prime nation of the world if the Jews were obedient to God (Deuteronomy 28:1,13). But the covenant warned that many curses would befall the people if they were disobedient (Deuteronomy 28:15-37), including exile from the land (Deuteronomy 28:38-57). The covenant warned further that if temporary exile did not restore the Jews to obedience, they would suffer worldwide dispersion and persecution (Deuteronomy 28:58-68). But nowhere are they told that their disobedience would lead to a loss of their title to the land.<br />
In fact, the Land Covenant ends in chapter 30 with a prophecy and a promise that a day will come — after the Jews have experienced the curses of the covenant — when the Lord will restore them to their land once again: "The Lord will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. If your outcasts are at the ends of the earth, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you back. And the Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it" (Deuteronomy 30:3-5).<br />
For almost 1,900 years the Jews wandered among the nations and suffered severe persecution, just as prophesied in Deuteronomy 28. During that time, their land became desolate as prophesied in Deuteronomy 29. But in this century, God has regathered them from the four corners of the earth, re-established them in their land, and transformed their land from wilderness to milk and honey — as prophesied in Deuteronomy 30.<br />
The only prophecy left to be fulfilled in the Land Covenant is the spiritual salvation of the gathered remnant (Deuteronomy 30:6-8). That will occur soon when they repent and accept Yeshua as their Messiah.<br />
The Abrahamic and Land Covenants make it clear that the Jewish people have both the right to the land of Israel and the right to be back in it today.<br />
<br />
<b>The Arab Covenant</b><br />
Where does this leave the Arabs? As descendants of Abraham's son, Ishmael, they too have a promise, but it is not a land promise. The covenant God made with Ishmael had to do with the number of his descendants. Ishmael was promised that his descendants would be "multiplied exceedingly" (Genesis 17:20).<br />
God has faithfully kept His promise to the descendants of Ishmael. Today there are 21 Arab states with a combined population of 175 million Arabs. There is only one Jewish state with a population of nearly 6 million. The Arab states contain 5.3 million square miles of oil rich land. Israel has only 8 thousand square miles of land with no major oil reserves that have been discovered, though plenty of natural gas off of the coast. That's a population ratio of 43 to 1 and a land ratio of 662 to 1!<br />
<br />
<b>The Palestinian Claim</b><br />
But what about the Palestinian people? Don't they deserve a state? Keep in mind first of all that a Palestinian state never existed prior to this century. From 70 A.D. to 1948 the geographical area known as Palestine was never an independent state nor did the Arabs residing there have any consciousness of themselves as a separate nation of people. They regarded themselves as Syrians. Also, keep in mind that Jerusalem has never served as the capital of any Arab nation, whereas it has been considered the capital of the Jewish people since 1,000 B.C.<br />
Also noteworthy is the fact that when the West Bank and Gaza were under Jordanian autonomy from 1948 to 1967, there was not any effort to create a separate Palestinian state. The PLO was formed during that time, not for the purpose of creating a Palestinian State, but rather for the purpose of exterminating the Jewish state.<br />
Equally important is the fact that a Palestinian state already exists — and it is four times larger than Israel! The Palestinian state is Jordan. In the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the British originally promised all the Palestinian Mandate to the Jews as a national homeland. But in 1922 they broke that promise by using 77% of the Mandate to create the Arab state of Jordan. Today that state's population is 75% Palestinian.<br />
<br />
<b>The True Arab Goal</b><br />
Then why do the Arabs demand the creation of a Palestinian state within the boundaries of current day Israel? The answer is simple. The real Arab goal is not the establishment of another Palestinian state. The true goal is the destruction of Israel.<br />
In fact, now deceased former PLO leader Yasser Arafat originally spelled out his strategy to the Arab world, and the strategy was adopted officially by the PLO in 1974. It is called "the phased plan." Realizing that he could not defeat Israel with war or terrorism, he decided that the road to victory was deceptive diplomacy. He would talk about peace in return for land, while rallying the anti-Israeli Western powers to put pressure on the Israeli government to capitulate. Once he got a toe-hold in the land, he would then use that as a<br />
<br />
base for renewed attacks on Israel. In short, he would take Israel in phases. It is a clever strategy that he spelled out in detail in many public speeches, just as Hitler outlined his strategy in detail in Mein Kampf.<br />
The World's Demand<br />
The world insists that the Jews must trade land for peace. But trading land for peace only whets the appetite of the aggressor. Israel has returned the Sinai to Egypt twice, and the Egyptians are still bristling with hostility toward Israel, even moreso since President Hosni Mubarak was taken out of power.<br />
Furthermore, Israel doesn't have any territory to give away. It is one of the world's smallest nations. Turning the West Bank over to hostile Arabs would put the enemy of Israel within 11 miles of Tel Aviv. No government in its right mind would agree to such insanity.<br />
Why then did the government of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres (who is now Israel's President) agree to the initiation of the current peace process? The answer is deception. They were deceived by the PLO and the Western nations. Worst of all, they had deceived themselves.<br />
Their self-deception was rooted in their Humanistic view of the world. Keep in mind that there was not a single believer in God among the top circle of Israeli leaders in the Rabin government. They were all either atheists or agnostics. Politically, they were either socialists or liberal humanists. This means that they believed in the basic goodness of Man. Translated into foreign policy, it means that they believed that if they treated their enemies with fairness and trust, their enemies would reciprocate. They simply could not bring themselves to believe that their enemies are determined to destroy them.<br />
Imbecilic Policy<br />
Ignoring all the harsh lessons of history, Rabin and Peres embarked on a policy of appeasement, hoping that they could satisfy the appetite of their enemies by giving them land for peace. History proves conclusively that appeasement always has the opposite effect — namely, it encourages the aggressor to want more.<br />
Chamberlain found that out when he tried to satisfy Hitler by trading him the Sudetenland for peace. Chamberlain turned out to be a fool. But Rabin and Peres made Chamberlain look good. After all, he at least was not foolish enough to trade some of the territory of Britain for peace! No, he gave away another nation's land. Rabin and Peres sought to trade their own land, land that would put their sworn enemy in the very heart of their nation.<br />
<br />
<b>Implacable Enemies</b><br />
What makes all this particularly ludicrous is the fact that Yasser Arafat and his successor Mahmoud Abbas did not even attempt to hide their true intentions. Arafat promised that in return for receiving autonomy over Gaza and Jericho he would have the PLO rescind the clauses in its covenant that call for the destruction of Israel. They got control over both<br />
<br />
Gaza and Jericho, but to this day the Fatah/Hamas government still has not even attempted to get the PLO to amend its charter.<br />
Even worse, Arafat continued to speak openly about his intention to take Jerusalem. The ink was hardly dry on the "peace" accord when he gave a speech in South Africa advocating a jihad to "liberate" Jerusalem. A jihad is a holy war! Again, Rabin and Peres made excuses for him, as did the U.S. State Department. They explained that Arafat was just saying what he had to say to placate his Arab enemies, and that he really didn't mean what he was saying. That's exactly what the Western European leaders kept saying about Hitler — "He doesn't really mean it." Well, he meant it, and so did Arafat and now Abbas today.<br />
Insolent Allies<br />
The Israeli leaders have also been deceived by the West. The United States and its Western allies have talked the government of Israel into doing something that every Israeli leader in the past said the nation would never do, and that is to place the survival of the country in the hands of foreigners. The Western nations keep whispering soothing assurances that they will "guarantee" the peace. But when the "peace" evaporates into all out war, Israel will discover that the Western world will back off and leave the nation to fend for itself. The bottom line is that Israel is no Kuwait. Israel has no oil, and Israel is full of Jews whom the world hates.<br />
The current "peace" process is a prescription for war, and it will be the bloodiest war in the history of the Middle East. I believe it will be a war that will lead up to the climax of the current age, ushering in the Tribulation.<br />
<br />
<b>The Jews' Resolve</b><br />
The Jews must stand firm in their determination to maintain the territorial integrity of the land God gave them. In doing so, they will bring the wrath of the nations upon themselves. The prophet Zechariah says that all the nations of the world will come together against Israel in the end times (Zechariah 12:3).<br />
But God will sustain the Jewish people, for they are the "apple of His eye" (Zechariah 2:8). The Word of God says Philistia is finished — "melted away" (Isaiah 14:29-32). And the Word says that once the Jews are reestablished in the their land, "they will never be rooted up again" (Amos 9:14-15).<br />
Let all the world come together against God's Chosen. The Lord sits in the heavens and laughs (Psalm 2:4), for He has the wisdom and power to orchestrate all the evil of Man to the fulfillment of His purposes (Psalm 76:10).<br />
<br />
<b>Imminent Scenario</b><br />
What is likely to happen next? Here is the most likely scenario that I can foresee at the moment. Hamas, the fundamentalist Arab terrorist organization funded by Iran, will take complete control over the Palestinian autonomous areas. Hamas will then unleash a renewed reign of terror on Israel, continuing their lobbing of rockets from Gaza and Jericho to back up their demand for control of Jerusalem.<br />
Abbas will orchestrate world pressure on Israel through the United Nations and the Vatican. In September of this year he will likely proclaim a Palestinian state and then demand that Jerusalem be "liberated" or internationalized.<br />
Since even the most liberal Israelis take the position that Jerusalem is non-negotiable, the pressure will mount toward an inevitable conflict. If Hamas does not unleash the rockets first, then Abbas will ultimately return to the method he knows best — terror.<br />
This will prompt an Israeli counter attack, which, in turn, will motivate the Arab states to come to the defense of the Palestinians. This could very well lead to Syria launching an all out missile attack on Tel Aviv in order to reclaim the Golan Heights and turn attention away from their civilian upheavals.<br />
If that ominous event should occur, the Israelis will be forced to use their ultimate weapon to survive. They will strike Damascus with nuclear weapons. This will fulfill the prophecies that state that Damascus will cease to exist in the end times (Isaiah 17:1-3 and Jeremiah 49:23-27).<br />
In panic, the Arab states will then turn to their natural ally for help — the Russians. And the likelihood is that the Russian government will be only too happy to send an army into the Middle East to destroy Israel (and grab the Arab oil fields in the process).<br />
That is when the Lord will step in personally to destroy the Russian hordes on the mountains of Israel in a supernatural way so that even the Israelis will realize that their deliverance came from the Lord and not from their own military might (Ezekiel 38 and 39).<br />
As the whole world panics on the brink of World War III, a dynamic, charismatic political leader from Europe will step into the vacuum and propose an ingenious solution that will result in peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors — a peace that will enable the Jews to rebuild their Temple.<br />
We live in exciting times when we can watch prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes. The events are ominous and overwhelming, but we can stand firm with great hope because we know that God is on His throne and that He is in control.<br />
The events we are currently witnessing point to the imminent return of Yeshua, and when He returns, the world will be flooded with peace and righteousness, and Israel will enjoy the blessings of territorial integrity and peace forevermore (Zechariah 8:1-8).<br />
<br />
<b>Are there promises to the Arabs related to the land of Israel?</b><br />
<br />
As descendants of Abraham's son, Ishmael, they too have a promise, but it is not a land promise. The covenant God made with Ishmael had to do with the number of his descendants. Ishmael was promised that his descendants would be <i>"multiplied exceedingly"</i> (Genesis 17:20).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Jueves, 11 de agosto de 2011 | 14:30</div>El Ministro del Exterior israelí Avigdor Liberman aseguró que una posible declaración del Primer Ministro Binyamin Netanyahu en la que se pediría “perdón” tal como lo exige Turquía no lograría recomponer las relaciones con Israel.<br />
<br />
El gobierno de Turquía y su líder Erdogan exige a Israel que pida perdón para con esta por el hecho ocurrido hace más de un año con el barco llamado Mármara que intentó llegar a la Franja de Gaza y fue abordado por soldados israelíes que fueron atacados por la tripulación y respondieron provocando muertos y heridos, entre ellos ciudadanos turcos.<br />
<br />
"Erdogan no solo pide disculpas sino que se levante el bloqueo israelï a la Franja de Gaza" dijo Liberman.<br />
