BREED On the very day John F. Kennedy died, a cottage industry was born. Fifty years and hundreds of millions of dollars later, it's still thriving. Its product? The "truth" about the president's assassination. "By the evening of November 22, 1963, I found myself being drawn into the case," Los Angeles businessman Ray Marcus wrote in "Addendum B," one of several self-published monographs he produced on the assassination. For him, authorities were just too quick and too pat with their conclusion. "The government was saying there was only one assassin; that there was no conspiracy. It was obvious that even if this subsequently turned out to be true, it could not have been known to be true at that time." Most skeptics, including Marcus, didn't get rich by publishing their doubts and theories - and some have even bankrupted themselves chasing theirs. But for a select few, there's been good money in keeping the controversy alive. Best-selling books and blockbuster movies have raked in massive profits since 1963. And now, with the 50th anniversary of that horrible day in Dallas looming, a new generation is set to cash in. Of course, the Warren Commission officially concluded in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone - and issued 26 volumes of documents to support that determination. But rather than closing the book on JFK's death, the report merely served as fuel for an already kindled fire of doubt and suspicion. Since then, even government investigators have stepped away from the lone assassin theory. In 1978, the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations ended its own lengthy inquiry by finding that JFK "was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy." That panel acknowledged it was "unable to identify the other gunman or the extent of the conspiracy." But armed with mountains of subsequently released documents, there has been no shortage of people willing to offer their own conclusions. Among the leading suspects: Cuban exiles angry about the Bay of Pigs fiasco; Mafiosi enraged by Attorney General Robert Kennedy's attacks on organized crime; the "military-industrial complex," worried about JFK's review of war policy in Vietnam. One theorist even floated the notion that Kennedy's limousine driver shot the president - as part of an effort to cover up proof of an alien invasion. Anything but that Oswald, a hapless former Marine, was in the right place at the right time, with motive and opportunity to pull off one of the most audacious crimes in American history. "As they say, nature abhors a vacuum, and the mind abhors chance," says Michael Shermer, executive director of the Skeptics Society and author of "The Believing Brain," a book on how humans seem hardwired to find patterns in disparate facts and unconnected, often innocent coincidences. Polls underscore the point. About 6 in 10 Americans say they believe multiple people were involved in a conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy, while only one-fourth think Oswald acted alone, according to an AP-GfK survey done in mid-April. Belief in a conspiracy, though strong, has declined since a 2003 Gallup poll found 75 percent said they thought Oswald was part of a wider plot. The case has riveted the public from the start. When the Warren Commission report was released in book form, it debuted at No. 7 on The New York Times Best Sellers List. Two years later, attorney Mark Lane's "Rush to Judgment" dominated the list. The Warren Commission, he argued, "frequently chose to rely on evidence that was no stronger and sometimes demonstrably weaker than contrary evidence which it rejected." The book has since sold millions of copies in hardcover and paperback, says Lane. Since then, dozens of books with titles like "Best Evidence," ''Reasonable Doubt," ''High Treason" and "Coup D'Etat in America: The CIA and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy" have sought to lay responsibility for JFK's death at the highest levels of the U.S. government - and beyond. British journalist Anthony Summers, whose BBC documentary became the 1980 book "Conspiracy," says many conspiracy buffs "are fine scholars and students, and some are mad as hatters who think it was done by men from Mars using catapults." Unlike the later coverage of Watergate, there were no reporters like The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who were told by their editors, "Get on this and don't get off it," says Summers, whose works focused on people and events largely ignored or treated cursorily by the official investigations. "Nobody went down there and really did the shoe leather work and the phone calls that we're all supposed to do," he says. For many, the Kennedy assassination has become "a board game: 'Who killed JFK?' So you feel free to sit around and say, 'Oh! It's the mob. Oh! It's the KGB' ... and have no shame," scoffs Gerald Posner, whose 1993 book "Case Closed" declared that the Warren Commission essentially got it right. The Oswald-as-patsy community has vilified Posner. But the lawyer says he didn't set out to write a defense of the Warren Commission. Instead, he planned to go back through the critical evidence to see what more could be determined through hindsight and more modern investigative techniques - "and then put out a book that says, 'Read THIS book. Here are the four unresolved issues of the Kennedy assassination, with the evidence on both sides.'" Halfway through the allotted research time, Posner went to the editorial staff with a new idea: A book that says flat-out who killed Kennedy. "Who?" one of the editors asked, as Posner retells it. "Oswald," he answered. "And who?" "Oswald," Posner says he repeated. "And they literally looked at me as though I had just come in from Mars. And you could tell there was this feeling of, 'Oh my God. He's read the Warren Commission and that's all he's done.'" "Case Closed" went on to sell 100,000 copies in hardcover. "I would have never thunk it," Posner says. Unlike Posner, Vincent Bugliosi, author of 2007's "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy," embarked on his book expecting to vindicate the Warren Commission. What he didn't expect was for it to balloon into a 1,650-page behemoth - with a CD-ROM containing an additional 960 pages of endnotes - that cost $57. "STOP writing," he recalls his wife telling him. "You're killing the sales of the book." The 78-year-old lawyer blames the conspiracy theorists. "We're talking about people," he explains, "who've invested the last 15, 20, 25 years of their life in this. They've lost jobs. They've gotten divorces. Nothing stops them." "Like a pea brain," he says, he responded to all of their allegations. "It's a bottomless pit. It never, ever ends. And if my publisher ... didn't finally step in and say, 'Vince, we're going to print,' I'd still be writing the book." Despite its girth and hefty price tag, "Reclaiming History" had a respectable first printing of 40,000, says Bugliosi, best known as the former deputy Los Angeles district attorney who prosecuted Charles Manson. But in a 9,400-word review, Gary L. Aguilar, a director of the Washington-based Assassination Archives and Research Center, wrote that the only thing Bugliosi's book proved was "that it may not be possible for one person to fully master, or give a fair accounting of, this impossibly tangled mess of a case." Bugliosi omitted or distorted evidence and failed to disprove "the case for conspiracy," Aguilar wrote. Lamar Waldron is not surprised at the success of people like Bugliosi and Posner. "The biggest money has been generated for the authors ... who kind of pretend it all was right back in 1964 and nothing really has happened since," says Waldron, who has co-written two books on the assassination. "The large six-figure advances and everything like that don't go to the people who dig through all those millions of pages of files and research for years." In "Ultimate Sacrifice" and "Legacy of Secrecy," Waldron and co-author Thom Hartmann used declassified CIA documents to make the case that JFK (and later his brother Robert) were killed because of plans to overthrow Cuban dictator Fidel Castro - and the Mafia's infiltration of that operation. Waldron says the books have sold a combined 85,000 copies since 2005. And now, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro are set to star in a feature film version of "Legacy of Secrecy" - with a reported price tag of up to $90 million. That's one of a pair of major movies - landing on opposite sides of the Oswald-as-lone-gunman debate - due out this year. Oscar winners Marcia Gay Harden and Billy Bob Thornton have signed on for the Tom Hanks-produced "Parkland," named for the Dallas hospital where Kennedy was pronounced dead. That project, which Hanks' website describes as "part thriller, part real-time drama," is based on a small portion of Bugliosi's magnum opus. A TV movie is to be made from another new book, "Killing Kennedy," co-written by Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, which had sold 1 million copies within four months of its release in October. In a note to readers, O'Reilly wrote: "In our narrative, Martin Dugard and I go only as far as the evidence takes us. We are not conspiracy guys, although we do raise some questions about what is unknown and inconsistent." Academy Award winner Errol Morris is working on a documentary about the assassination. He did not respond to an interview request. One film, critics say, has done more than anything to shape the public's perception of the assassination: That's Oliver Stone's 1991 drama, "JFK." "He made this kind of paranoid conspiracy theory respectable," says New York writer Arthur Goldwag, author of "Cults, Conspiracies, and Secret Societies." The movie tells the story of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, played by Kevin Costner . Garrison remains the only prosecutor to bring someone to trial for an alleged conspiracy to kill Kennedy. The film is "a remarkable litany of falsehoods and misrepresentations and exaggerations and omissions," Posner says. "The reason that I'm so hard on Stone is because he's such a good filmmaker. If he was a schlocky filmmaker, it wouldn't matter." Shermer, of the Skeptics Society, agrees that Stone's role in stirring the conspiracy pot is "huge." "You tell somebody a good story, that's more powerful than tons of data, charts and graphs and statistics," he says. "And Oliver Stone's a good storyteller. He's biased and he's very deceptive, and I don't trust him at all. But the movie's great." Stone's publicist said the director had "chosen to pass on this opportunity" to comment. "JFK" took in more than $205 million at the box office, nearly two-thirds of that overseas, and has since raked in untold millions more in television royalties, pay-per-view, and videocassette and DVD rentals. In the recent AP-GfK poll, respondents were asked how much of what they knew about the JFK case came from various sources. Only 9 percent cited movies or fictional TV shows, while the greatest portion, 37 percent, said history texts and nonfiction books. About two dozen JFK-related titles are due on bookstore shelves in coming months, says Patricia Bostelman, vice president of marketing for Barnes & Noble booksellers. Among them is "They Killed Our President: The Conspiracy to Kill JFK and the Cover-Up That Followed," by former pro wrestler and Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura. Other authors are taking advantage of the anniversary to reissue or expand on previous works. Waldron is working on a book focusing on mob figures who confessed to being part of a conspiracy to kill the president. Summers is publishing a sequel to "Conspiracy," incorporating material released since 1980, while Bugliosi has a "Parkland" paperback to accompany the movie release. And "Case Closed" will soon appear for the first time as an e-book. Despite the mountains of documents released since its publication, and a mountain of criticism of his conclusions, Posner says there is no plan to update it, other than perhaps including a new foreword. "I moved on to other subjects," he says. On Nov. 22, 1963, John Kelin was a 7-year-old second-grader in Peoria, Ill. He says the Kennedy assassination is "my earliest clear memory in life." But he didn't really give the case much thought until 13 years later, when as a sophomore at Eastern Michigan University he attended a lecture by Mark Lane. It was the first time he saw the Abraham Zapruder film that captured the moment when Kennedy was fatally wounded. "Using slow motion and freeze frame, Lane made sure that all of us sitting in that hot, poorly ventilated auditorium understood that Kennedy's head and shoulders were slammed backward and to the left, and that Lee Harvey Oswald's alleged shooting position was behind the presidential limousine," Kelin wrote in a book, "Praise from a Future Generation," about early critics of the Warren Report. "In a way, that lecture was the genesis of this book." Kelin bristles at references to a conspiracy theory "industry," preferring to think of himself as part of a grass roots response to the government's "severely flawed, unsatisfactory explanations for what really happened in 1963." His publisher, Wings Press, has "made intimations" about releasing a digital edition of "Praise" for the 50th anniversary. Meanwhile, Kelin has written another JFK book - a fictional account of how he came to write the first one. "It's kind of a satire of the present-day research community," he says, "with a love story thrown in to try to broaden the interest level."

Kennedy Mon, 13 May 2013 02:04:01 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=23f_1368423764 USMC_SRT Every military base is basically it's own town. We have postal service, fire department, hospital, entertainment facilities, police department, ect.. As with any town there can & will be crime. The military police (M.P.) and provost marshal are in charge of deterring, capture, detaining criminal activities on bases though various techniques and training. Special Reaction Teams (SRT) act as Marine Corps Base's tactical response unit (S.W.A.T.). Performing a wide array of duties the primary mission of SRT is to provide the military police with a tactical response unit. However, SRT performs a lot of other duties to maintain safety and security of bases and it's people. INCIDENT RESPONSE: 1. Initial. The senior MP responding will oversee actions at the scene until properly relieved by a designated PMO representative who will serve as the "on-scene" commander. 2. Specialized. The installation commander may authorize the establishment of a Special Reaction Team (SRT) in accordance with MCO 3302.1. The provost marshal will establish a SRT or enter into an agreement with local law enforcement authorities for the provision of special response forces. Commanders should consider that local and Federal law enforcement might not be able or willing. To tactically respond to incidents aboard military installations due to their own crises. When a military police SRT is established, it will meet the criteria set forth in the current editions of OPNAVINST 5530.14 and MCO 3302.1 in order to provide the minimum capabilities of: a. Isolating the scene. b. Tactically responding from an assembly area to the scene. c. Effecting an entry. d. Employing clearing techniques (e.g., close quarters battle (CQB) skills). 2203. SPECIAL REACTION TEAM (SRT) 1. SRT Organization. The provost marshal will determine SRT membership. Dependent on manning levels, the formation of a ten member SRT is highly recommended in order to enhance response capabilities. The SRT should consist of an SRT commander, not less than five personnel comprising an entry element and ideally a four man cover element. Military police personnel regardless of their assignment within PMO, i.e., traffic control, logistics support, etc. may be assigned to an SRT.

Thursday same as Tuesday PT than go to the Range Friday same as Wed., PT then movement out to the days-training site. SRT Composition: SRT Commander. The SRT commander is responsible to the provost marshal or his designee (e.g. deputy provost marshal for operations, MP operations officers) for administrative supervision, operational coordination, and training management of the SRT. a. Entry Element. An entry element shall consist of a team leader, pointman, first defenseman, second defenseman, and rear security/utility defenseman. b. Cover Element. Each cover element should consist of a designated marksman and an observer (spotter), with at least 2 teams. c. All SRT members should cross-train in each of the entry element positions. Each team member must be completely knowledgeable of every SRT member's duties. 3. SRT Capability. The Provost Marshal will ensure that SRT members meet the Individual Training Standards contained in MCO 1510.86A. The process will include a demonstrated ability to perform the following training standards to the installation Commander's satisfaction: a. SRT organization, employment, and mission planning concepts. b. Resolving hostage/barricaded suspect situations. c. Team tactics for maneuver, building clearing and actions "on-scene" to include immediate action drills in response to unplanned surrender and continued resistance. d. Live fire employment of weapons in training scenarios. e. Special entry methods to include breaching techniques. f. Counterterrorism response. g. Intra-team communications (e.g., hand/arm signals). h. Recognition and identification of weapons, improvised explosive devices (IED's), Schools that SRT members might receive: . SRT School . Scout Sniper School . Close Quarters Battle/ Advanced CQB. . Rappel Masters Course. . Search and Rescue. . Hand-to-Hand Combat Instructors Course (MCMAP) . MCIWS (Marine Corps Instructor of Water Survival) . Along with several other Law Enforcement schools that sharpened and honed their techniques, such as, SWAT, FBI SWAT, LE sniper, rappel, etc. . In addition, all team members are cross-trained in every position to ensure that all members know the mission of all other members in case one member was to go down. Personnel Selection Requirement: a. Selection Requirements - At least one year of operational MP law enforcement experience. 1. High level of physical fitness (at least 1st class on PFT and agility; capable of performing arduous tasks over sustained periods). 2. Marine Corps height/weight standards. 3. Qualify expert with the service rifle and pistol, as well as other assigned SRT weapon(s). 4. Mature and disciplined. 5. Capable of working with others in a team (very important). b. Additional suitability considerations - Potential SRT members should be screened by the SRT commander (or senior entry team leader) for suitability. Nominations are subject to the approval of the provost marshal. Additional suitability criteria for consideration include: 1. Volunteers are preferred for SRT duty, however, assignment will be based on mission requirements and best-qualified Marines will be assigned to ensure a quality SRT capability. 2. Available 24 hours for recall. 3. No prior court-martials or NJP. 4. Excellent hearing and eyesight, preferably 20-20 correctable vision. c. Selection. 1.

Designated marksman and observers should be nominated by the entry element team leader(s) and selected. The selection process at Camp Lejeune consisted of a 2-day indoctrination. During this indoctrination the selectee's were screened for the physical abilities (pull-ups with a 60 lb. tac-vest on, 3 mile ruck-run, FBI SWAT test, stamina, building clearing techniques, self defense, Marine Corps PFT, etc); mental abilities (how they handled different stressful situations, a written exam, and their motivation that they displayed throughout the indoctrination); and their military appearance was viewed in a personal interview where all potential candidates must go in front of a panel of senior SRT members and answer personal questions about themselves and why they think they are the best candidate for the team. After the two-day screening all current members of the team get together and decide who, if any, selectees are going to be appointed to the team. Camp Lejeune's SRT was also tasked with Protective Services/ Security Escorts SRT was responsible for providing protective service operations for individuals designated by the Department of Defense and Headquarters Marine Corps (POS). This includes the planning and execution of close-in protection for the principal, and coordinating every phase of the mission to include the middle and outer cordons of security. The provost marshals office will provide technical advice and assistance to the SRT commander on the protective service operation. Primary Weapons: M16 A-2 Service Rifle MP-5 Remington 870. 12 ga. Shotgun M40-A1 Sniper Rifle M45 1911 A1 pistol with tac-light (optional). Other duties that may be assigned to the team: . Search and Rescue . Sting Operations .

USMC, Marines, SRT, HRT Tue, 07 May 2013 07:54:19 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3ba_1367926790 Richard_Dorkins Read a comment response to me earlier today: That Hezbollah ever killed American soldiers and civilians is only spouted by Zionists. Hezbollah is a resistance movement dedicated to defending Lebanon and to supporting the right of return of Palestinians - who incidentally are mostly Sunni and Christian, not Shia like Hezbollah. Delusions of grandeur from a terrorist supporter . historically inaccurate to the point of disbelief. I dont care about your fantasies, or of the pending equalisations of "America did this" or "America did that." Hezbollah have committed attrocities, they are terrorists and at best oppression-fighters (because freedom-fighter would assume they fight for freedom, rather than as clearly stated a religious theocracy). Hezbollah has hijacked planes, they have kidnapped israelis and americans, they have been responsible for a number of suicide attacks. But the comment clearly states that they never hurt a hair of an American. How is this possible when if hezbollah was responsible for the two explosions in Beirut on October 23, 1983 that killed 241 American Marines and 56 French servicemen sleeping in their barracks.

His or Her, Probably Her post was about a female officer that shot a man with Scissors. So here we go. Let the Femi-Nazi, Libratards, Troll Mongering begin. P.S. USMC5816. You can unblock me l was not Trolling. @USMC5816 comment was, What about Female S.W.A.T Members? My Reply: Political Correctness is a Disease, Distributed by Tyrants. Total Bullshit. IF a 240 lb Officer gets shot. She needs to be able to throw him or her over their shoulder and move them out of harms way. She needs to be able to BY HERSELF, Using Progressively advancing force. Meaning as threat escalates so does level of force. Apprehend, by Control, isolate and Secure said suspect and then Handcuff them. Without blowing their shit away, right off the bat. Over the years, and you can check the data on this. You will find Female officers shooting the shit out of people, not Subduing them. In my 20 years of Law Enforcement and all the women I worked with, none could do it. it's all Bullshit. I went through 3 academy's all the women had to do less to get the same Qualifications as I did. Two State Academy's and One was Glenco Georgia. F.B.I. Academy. If we did 100 push ups, they would do 100 knee push ups etc, etc, etc, etc. over and over and over. I see your Avatar. I hope you don't believe the Femi-nazi Propaganda bullshit. (Note women can be Excellent Shots. As good as men or better.) But they don't play Professional Football, Baseball, Basketball, NHL, Boxing, MMA, Weight lifting, in a competition with men. Other women yes. Not Men. Most get by with the help of other officers. Sniper's for swat teams, I say hell yea let them. Hand to hand combat....Fail. I weigh 320 lbs I want you to find me a woman that can handcuff me. hand to hand. NOT... It would be like trying to handcuff Frank Mir. If you are in Law Enforcement you know how hard it is to handcuff people. Well you probably won't agree, So be it. I'm old school. What do I know, right. You live in your fantasy world. I'll live in the real world.

If that was a Female Cop he would be a DEAD MAN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_vpjPyceH8&feature=fvwp&NR=1 Original story here: Deputy Shoots Man Armed With Sissors San Leon, Texas May 1, 2013 SAN LEON, TX - A female Galveston County Deputy shot a man in San Leon this evening after she responded to a disturbance call and was confronted by the man who was armed with a pair of scissors. It happened on 19th Street near Avenue E in San Leon. An official with the Sheriff's Office says deputy Marina Gonzalez responded to the call and found the man walking down the street. When she got out of her cruiser and approached him, the man reportedly lunged at her with the scissors. It was not sure if the weapon was scissors or a cork screw or similar item. The man, identified only as white or Hispanice, was shot one time by the deputy and was taken by air ambulance to a hospital. Galveston County District Attorney Jack Roady requested and received assistance in the investigation from the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office. It is a routine policy for law enforcement agencies not to investigate shootings involving their own deputies or officers. The Brazoria County Sheriff's Office reportedly dispatched a Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) and an investigator from it's Criminal Investigation Division (CID). The Galveston County Sheriff's Office is expected to make an official statement regarding the shooting sometime Thursday. http://www.thepolicenews.net/default.aspx/act/newsletter.aspx/category/News+1-2/MenuGroup/Home/NewsLetterID/37715/startrow/1.htm http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2f1_1367553234 waterlawman I was Blocked from this post by (USMC5816) "Deputy Shoots Man Armed With Sissors" , My Reply...

It's origin goes back to Decembre 31st, 1953. It was created during the secret operations PBFORTUNE AND PBSUCESS with the intention to overthrow the Guatemalan Government. Comments on certain paragraphs are written narrowed. A STUDY OF ASSASSINATION DEFINITION Assassination is a term thought to be derived from "Hashish", a drug similar to marijuana, said to have been used by Hasan-Dan-Sabah to induce motivation in his followers, who were assigned to carry out political and other murders, usually at the cost of their lives. It is here used to describe the planned killing of a person who is not under the legal jurisdiction of the killer, who is not physically in the hands of the killer, who has been selected by a resistance organization for death, and who has been sele cted by a resistance organization for death, and whose death provides positive advantages to that organization. EMPLOYMENT Assassination is an extreme measure not normally used in clandestine operations. It should be assumed that it will never be ordered or authorized by any U.S. Headquarters, though the latter may in rare instances agree to its execution by membe rs of an associated foreign service. This reticence is partly due to the necessity for committing communications to paper. No assassination instructions should ever be written or recorded. Consequently, the decision to employ this technique must nearly always be reached in the field, at the area where the act will take place. Decision and instructions should be confined to an absolute minimum of persons. Ideally, only one person will be involved. No report may be made, but usually the act will be pr operly covered by normal news services, whose output is available to all concerned. JUSTIFICATION Murder is not morally justifiable. Self-defense may be argued if the victim has knowledge which may destroy the resistance organization if divulged. Assassination of persons responsible for atrocities or reprisals may be regarded as just puni shment. Killing a political leader whose burgeoning career is a clear and present danger to the cause of freedom may be held necessary. But assassination can seldom be employed with a clear conscience. Persons who are morally squeamish should not attempt it. CLASSIFICATIONS The techniques employed will vary according to whether the subject is unaware of his danger, aware but unguarded, or guarded. They will also be affected by whether or not the assassin is to be killed with the subject hereafter, assassinations in which the subject is unaware will be termed "simple"; those where the subject is aware but unguarded will be termed "chase"; those where the victim is guarded will be termed "guarded." If the assassin is to die with the subject, the act will be called "lost." If the assassin is to escape, the adjective will be "safe." It should be noted that no compromises should exist here. The assassin must not fall alive into enemy hands. A further type division is caused by the need to conceal the fact that the subject was actually the victim of assassination, rather than an accident or natural causes. If such concealment is desirable the operation will be called "secret" ;; if concealment is immaterial, the act will be called "open"; while if the assassination requires publicity to be effective it will be termed "terroristic." Following these definitions, the assassination of Julius Caesar was safe, simple, and terroristic, while that of Huey Long was lost, guarded and open. Obviously, successful secret assassinations are not recorded as assassination at all. o f Thailand and Augustus Caesar may have been the victims of safe, guarded and secret assassination. Chase assassinations usually involve clandestine agents or members of criminal organizations. THE ASSASSIN In safe assassinations, the assassin needs the usual qualities of a clandestine agent. He should be determined, courageous, intelligent, resourceful, and physically active. If special equipment is to be used, such as firearms or drugs, it is clear that he must have outstanding skill with such equipment. Except in terroristic assassinations, it is desirable that the assassin be transient in the area. He should have an absolute minimum of contact with the rest of the organization and his instructions should be given orally by one person only. His safe evacuation after the act is absolutely essential, but here again contact should be as limited as possible. It is preferable that the person issuing instructions also conduct any withdrawal or covering action which may be necessary. In lost assassination, the assassin must be a fanatic of some sort. Politics, religion, and revenge are about the only feasible motives. Since a fanatic is unstable psychologically, he must be handled with extreme care. He must not know the iden tities of the other members of the organization, for although it is intended that he die in the act, something may go wrong. While the Assassin of Trotsky has never revealed any significant information, it was unsound to depend on this when the act was p lanned. PLANNING When the decision to assassinate has been reached, the tactics of the operation must be planned, based upon an estimate of the situation similar to that used in military operations. The preliminary estimate will reveal gaps in information and possibly indicate a need for special equipment which must be procured or constructed. When all necessary data has been collected, an effective tactical plan can be prepared. All planning must be mental; no papers should ever contain evidence of the oper ation. In resistance situations, assassination may be used as a counter-reprisal. Since this requires advertising to be effective, the resistance organization must be in a position to warn high officials publicly that their lives will be the price of rep risal action against innocent people. Such a threat is of no value unless it can be carried out, so it may be necessary to plan the assassination of various responsible officers of the oppressive regime and hold such plans in readiness to be used only i f provoked by excessive brutality. Such plans must be modified frequently to meet changes in the tactical situation. TECHNIQUES The essential point of assassination is the death of the subject. A human being may be killed in many ways but sureness is often overlooked by those who may be emotionally unstrung by the seriousness of this act they intend to commit. The spe cific technique employed will depend upon a large number of variables, but should be constant in one point: Death must be absolutely certain. The attempt on Hitler's life failed because the conspiracy did not give this matter proper attention. Techniques may be considered as follows: 1. Manual. It is possible to kill a man with the bare hands, but very few are skillful enough to do it well. Even a highly trained Judo expert will hesitate to risk killing by hand unless he has absolutely no alternative. However, the simplest local tools a re often much the most efficient means of assassination. A hammer, axe, wrench, screw driver, fire poker, kitchen knife, lamp stand, or anything hard, heavy and handy will suffice. A length of rope or wire or a belt will do if the assassin is strong and agile. All such improvised weapons have the important advantage of availability and apparent innocence. The obviously lethal machine gun failed to kill Trotsky where an item of sporting goods succeeded. Assault Weapon Ban Would you have thought this? (Yes, of course, you're not an idiot) In all safe cases where the assassin may be subject to search, either before or after the act, specialized weapons should not be used. Even in the lost case, the assassin may accidentally be searched before the act and should not carry an incrimin ating device if any sort of lethal weapon can be improvised at or near the site. If the assassin normally carries weapons because of the nature of his job, it may still be desirable to improvise and implement at the scene to avoid disclosure of his ident ity. 2. Accidents. For secret assassination, either simple or chase, the contrived accident is the most effective technique. When successfully executed, it causes little excitement and is only casually investigated. The most efficient accident, in simple assassination, is a fall of 75 feet or more onto a hard surface. Elevator shafts, stair wells, unscreened windows and bridges will serve. Bridge falls into water are not reliable. In simple cases a private meeting with the subject may be arranged at a properly-cased location. The act may be executed by sudden, vigorous of the ankles, tipping the subject over the edge. If the assassin immediately sets up an outcry, playing the "horrified wit ness", no alibi or surreptitious withdrawal is necessary. In chase cases it will usually be necessary to stun or drug the subject before dropping him. Care is required to insure that no wound or condition not attributable to the fall is discernible after death. Falls into the sea or swiftly flowing rivers may suffice if the subject cannot swim. It will be more reliable if the assassin can arrange to attempt rescue, as he can thus be sure of the subject's death and at the same time establish a workable alibi. If the subject's personal habits make it feasible, alcohol may be used to prepare him for a contrived accident of any kind. Falls before trains or subway cars are usually effective, but require exact timing and can seldom be free from unexpected observation. Automobile accidents are a less satisfactory means of assassination. If the subject is deliberately run down, very exact timing is necessary and investigation is likely to be thorough. If the subject's car is tampered with, reliability is very low. The subject may be stunned or drugged and then placed in the car, but this is only reliable when the car can be run off a high cliff or into deep water without observation. Arson can cause accidental death if the subject is drugged and left in a burning building. Reliability is not satisfactory unless the building is isolated and highly combustible. 3. Drugs. In all types of assassination except terroristic, drugs can be very effective. If the assassin is trained as a doctor or nurse and the subject is under medical care, this is an easy and rare method. An overdose of morphine administered as a sedat ive will cause death without disturbance and is difficult to detect. The size of the dose will depend upon whether the subject has been using narcotics regularly. If not, two grains will suffice. If the subject drinks heavily, morphine or a similar narcotic can be injected at the passing out stage, and the cause of death will often be held to be acute alcoholism. Watching the game, havin' a Bud We should have known, just like videogames and guns, alcohol kills people. Specific poisons, such as arsenic or strychine, are effective but their possession or procurement is incriminating, and accurate dosage is problematical. Poison was used unsuccessfully in the assassination of Rasputin and Kolohan, though the latte r case is more accurately described as a murder. 4. Edge Weapons Any locally obtained edge device may be successfully employed. A certain minimum of anatomical knowledge is needed for reliability. Puncture wounds of the body cavity may not be reliable unless the heart is reached. The heart is protected by the rib cage and is not always easy to locate. Abdominal wounds were once nearly always mortal, but modern medical treatment has made this no longer true. Absolute reliability is obtained by severing the spinal cord in the cervical region. This can be done with the point of a knife or a light blow of an axe or hatchet. Another reliable method is the severing of both jugular and carotid blood vessels on both sides of the windpipe. Gray's Anatomy By cutting off the central blood vessels in the cerebral area, the brain will quickly take irreversible damage. If the subject has been rendered unconscious by other wounds or drugs, either of the above methods can be used to insure death. 5. Blunt Weapons As with edge weapons, blunt weapons require some anatomical knowledge for effective use. Their main advantage is their universal availability. A hammer may be picked up almost anywhere in the world. Baseball and bats are very widely distributed. Even a rock or a heavy stick will do, and nothing resembling a weapon need be procured, carried or subsequently disposed of. Blows should be directed to the temple, the area just below and behind the ear, and the lower, rear portion of the skull. Of course, if the blow is very heavy, any portion of the upper skull will do. The lower frontal portion of the head, from th e eyes to the throat, can withstand enormous blows without fatal consequences. 6. Firearms Firearms are often used in assassination, often very ineffectively. The assassin usually has insufficient technical knowledge of the limitations of weapons, and expects more range, accuracy and killing power than can be provided with reliability. Since certainty of death is the major requirement, firearms should be used which can provide destructive power at least 100% in excess of that thought to be necessary, and ranges should be half that considered practical for the weapon. Firearms have other drawbacks. Their possession is often incriminating. They may be difficult to obtain. They require a degree of experience from the user. They are . Their is consistently over-rated. However, there are many cases in which firearms are probably more efficient than any other means. These cases usually involve distance between the assassin and the subject, or comparative physical weakness of the assassin, as with a woman. (a) The precision rifle. In guarded assassination, a good hunting or target rifle should always be considered as a possibility. Absolute reliability can nearly always be achieved at a distance of one hundred yards. In ideal circumstances, t he range may be extended to 250 yards. The rifle should be a well made bolt or falling block action type, handling a powerful long-range cartridge. The .300 F.A.B. Magnum is probably the best cartridge readily available. Other excellent calibers are . 375 M. . Magnum, .270 Winchester, .30 - 106 p.s., 8 x 60 MM Magnum, 9.3 x 62 kk and others of this type. These are preferable to ordinary military calibers, since ammunition available for them is usually of the expanding bullet type, whereas most ammunition for military rifles is full jacketed and hence not sufficiently lethal. For the conspiracy theorists Kennedy was shot with a high powered, low velocity hunting rifle cal. 6.5mm Carcano. Military ammunition should not be altered by filing or drilling bullets, as this will adversely affect accuracy. The rifle may be of the "bull gun" variety, with extra heavy barrel and set triggers, but in any case should be capable of maximum precision. Ideally, the weapon should be able to group in one inch at one hundred yards, but 21/2" groups are adequa te. The sight should be telescopic, not only for accuracy, but because such a sight is much better in dim light or near darkness. As long as the bare outline of the target is discernable, a telescope sight will work, even if the rifle and shooter are in total darkness. An expanding, hunting bullet of such calibers as described above will produce extravagant laceration and shock at short or mid-range. If a man is struck just once in the body cavity, his death is almost entirely certain. Public figures or guarded officials may be killed with great reliability and some safety if a firing point can be established prior to an official occasion. The propaganda value of this system may be very high. (b) The machine gun. Machine guns may be used in most cases where the precision rifle is applicable. Usually, this will require the subversion of a unit of an official guard at a ceremony, though a skillful and determined team might conceivably dispose of a loyal gun crow without commotion and take over the gun at the critical time. The area fire capacity of the machine gun should not be used to search out a concealed subject. This was tried with predictable lack of success on Trotsky. The automatic feature of the machine gun should rather be used to increase reliability by placing a 5 second burst on the subject. Even with full jacket ammunition, this will be absolute lethal is the burst pattern is no larger than a man. This can be accomplished at about 150 yards. In ideal circumstances, a properly padded and targeted ma chine gun can do it at 850 yards. The major difficulty is placing the first burst exactly on the target, as most machine gunners are trained to spot their fire on target by observation of strike. This will not do in assassination as the subject will not wait. (c) The Submachine Gun. This weapon, known as the "machine-pistol" by the Russians and Germans and "machine-carbine" by the British, is occasionally useful in assassination. Unlike the rifle and machine gun, this is a short range weapon and since it fires pistol ammu nition, much less powerful. To be reliable, it should deliver at least 5 rounds into the subject's chest, though the .45 caliber U.S. weapons have a much larger margin of killing efficiency than the 9 mm European arms. The assassination range of the sub-machine gun is point blank. While accurate single rounds can be delivered by sub-machine gunners at 50 yards or more, this is not certain enough for assassination. Under ordinary circumstances, the 5MG should be used as a fully automatic weapon. In the hands of a capabl e gunner, a high cyclic rate is a distinct advantage, as speed of execution is most desirable, particularly in the case of multiple subjects. The sub-machine gun is especially adapted to indoor work when more than one subject is to be assassinated. An effective technique has been devised for the use of a pair of sub-machine gunners, by which a room containing as many as a dozen subjects can be "purifico" in about twenty seconds with little or no risk to the gunners. It is illustrated below. While the U.S. sub-machine guns fire the most lethal cartridges, the higher cyclic rate of some foreign weapons enable the gunner to cover a target quicker with acceptable pattern density. The Bergmann Model 1934 is particularly good in this way. The Danish Madman? SMG has a moderately good cyclic rate and is admirably compact and concealable. The Russian SHG's have a good cyclic rate, but are handicapped by a small, light protective which requires more kits for equivalent killing effect. (d) The Shotgun. A large bore shotgun is a most effective killing instrument as long as the range is kept under ten yards. It should normally be used only on single targets as it cannot sustain fire successfully. The barrel may be "sawed" off for convenience, but this is not a significant factor in its killi ng performance. Its optimum range is just out of reach of the subject. 00 buckshot is considered the best shot size for a twelve gage gun, but anything from single balls to bird shot will do if the range is right. The assassin should aim for the solar plexus as the shot pattern is small at close range and can easily the head. (e) The Pistol. While the handgun is quite inefficient as a weapon of assassination, it is often used, partly because it is readily available and can be concealed on the person, and partly because its limitations are not widely appreciated. While many well kn own assassinations have been carried out with pistols (Lincoln, Harding, Ghandi), such attempts fail as often as they succeed, (Truman, Roosevelt, Churchill). If a pistol is used, it should be as powerful as possible and fired from just beyond reach. The pistol and the shotgun are used in similar tactical situations, except that the shotgun is much more lethal and the pistol is much more easily conceale d. In the hands of an expert, a powerful pistol is quite deadly, but such experts are rare and not usually available for assassination missions. .45 Colt, .44 Special, .455 Kly, .45 A.S. (U.S. Service) and .357 Magnum are all efficient calibers. Less powerful rounds can suffice but are less reliable. Sub-power cartridges such as the .32s and .25s should be avoided. In all cases, the subject should be hit solidly at least three times for complete reliability. (f) Silent Firearms The sound of the explosion of the proponent in a firearm can be effectively silenced by appropriate attachments. However, the sound of the projective passing through the air cannot, since this sound is generated outside the weapon. In cases w here the velocity of the bullet greatly exceeds that of sound, the noise so generated is much louder than that of the explosion. Since all powerful rifles have muzzle velocities of over 2000 feet per second, they cannot be silenced. Pistol bullets, on the other hand, usually travel slower than sound and the sound of their flight is negligible. Therefore, pistols, submachine guns and any sort of improvised carbine or rifle which will take a low velocity cartridge can be silenc ed. The user should not forget that the sound of the operation of a repeating action is considerable, and that the sound of bullet strike, particularly in bone is quite loud. Silent firearms are only occasionally useful to the assassin, though they have been widely publicized in this connection. Because permissible velocity is low, effective precision range is held to about 100 yards with rifle or carbine type weapons, while with pistols, silent or otherwise, are most efficient just beyond arms length. The silent feature attempts to provide a degree of safety to the assassin, but mere possession of a silent firearm is likely to create enough hazard to counter the advantage of its silence. The silent pisto l combines the disadvantages of any pistol with the added one of its obviously clandestine purpose. A telescopically sighted, closed-action carbine shooting a low velocity bullet of great weight, and built for accuracy, could be very useful to an assassin in certain situations. At the time of writing, no such weapon is known to exist. Big Bore Because of precise engineering modern self-loading rifles, like the Remington R-15 chambered in .450 Bushmaster, can be very accurate 7. Explosives. Bombs and demolition charges of various sorts have been used frequently in assassination. Such devices, in terroristic and open assassination, can provide safety and overcome guard barriers, but it is curious that bombs have often been the imp lement of lost assassinations. The major factor which affects reliability is the use of explosives for assassination. the charge must be very large and the detonation must be controlled exactly as to time by the assassin who can observe the subject. A small or moderate explosi ve charge is highly unreliable as a cause of death, and time delay or booby-trap devices are extremely prone to kill the wrong man. In addition to the moral aspects of indiscriminate killing, the death of casual bystanders can often produce public reacti ons unfavorable to the cause for which the assassination is carried out. Bombs or grenades should never be thrown at a subject. While this will always cause a commotion and may even result in the subject's death, it is sloppy, unreliable, and bad propaganda. The charge must be too small and the assassin is never sure of: (1)reaching his attack position, (2) placing the charge close en ough to the target and (3) firing the charge at the right time. Placing the charge surreptitiously in advance permits a charge of proper size to be employed, but requires accurate prediction of the subject's movements. Ten pounds of high explosive should normally be regarded as a minimum, and this is explosive of fragmentation material. The latter can consist of any hard, material as long as the fragments are large enough. Metal or rock fragments should be walnut-size rather than pen-size. If solid plates are used, to be ruptured by the explosion, cast iron, 1" thick, gives excellent fragmentation. Military or commercial high explosives are practical for use in assassination. Homemade or improvised e xplosives should be avoided. While possibly powerful, they tend to be dangerous and unreliable. Anti-personnel explosive missiles are excellent, provided the assassin has sufficient technical knowledge to fuse them properly. 81 or 82 mm mortar shells, or the 120 mm mortar shell, are particularly good. Anti-personnel shells for 85, 88, 90, 100 and 105 mm guns and howitzers are both large enough to be completely reliable and small enough to be carried by one man. The charge should be so placed that the subject is not ever six feet from it at the moment of detonation. A large, shaped charge with the filled with iron fragments (such as 1" nuts and bolts) will fire a highly lethal shotgun-type to 50 yards. This reaction has not been thoroughly tested, however, and an exact replica of the proposed device should be fired in advance to determine exact range, pattern-size, and penetration of fragments. Fragments should penetrate at lea st 1" of seasoned pine or equivalent for minimum reliability. Any firing device may be used which permits exact control by the assassin. An ordinary commercial or military explorer is efficient, as long as it is rigged for instantaneous action with no time fuse in the system. The wise electric target can serve as the triggering device and provide exact timing from as far away as the assassin can reliably hit the target.

The radio switch can be to fire , though its reliability is somewhat lower and its procurement may not be easy.

A newspaper is a periodical publication containing news of current events, informative articles, diverse features, editorials, and advertising. It usually is printed on relatively inexpensive, low-grade paper such as newsprint. By 2007, there were 6,580 daily newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day. The worldwide recession of 2008, combined with the rapid growth of web-based alternatives, caused a serious decline in advertising and circulation, as many papers closed or sharply retrenched operations. General-interest newspapers typically publish stories on local and national political events and personalities, crime, business, entertainment, society and sports. Most traditional papers also feature an editorial page containing editorials written by an editor and columns that express the personal opinions of writers. The newspaper is typically funded by paid subscriptions and advertising. A wide variety of material has been published in newspapers, including editorial opinions, criticism, persuasion and op-eds; obituaries; entertainment features such as crosswords, sudoku and horoscopes; weather news and forecasts; advice, food and other columns; reviews of radio, movies, television, plays and restaurants; classified ads; display ads, radio and television listings, inserts from local merchants, editorial cartoons, gag cartoons and comic strips. In Ancient Rome, Acta Diurna , or government announcement bulletins, were produced. They were carved in metal or stone and posted in public places. In China, early government-produced news sheets, called tipao, circulated among court officials during the late Han dynasty (second and third centuries AD). Between 713 and 734, the Kaiyuan Za Bao ("Bulletin of the Court") of the Chinese Tang Dynasty published government news; it was handwritten on silk and read by government officials. In 1582, there was the first reference to privately published newssheets in Beijing, during the late Ming Dynasty. In Early modern Europe the increased cross-border interaction created a rising need for information which was met by concise handwritten newssheets, called avvisi. In 1556, the government of Venice first published the monthly Notizie scritte , which cost one gazetta, a small coin. These avvisi were handwritten newsletters and used to convey political, military, and economic news quickly and efficiently to Italian cities (1500-1700) - sharing some characteristics of newspapers though usually not considered true newspapers. However, none of these publications fully met the classical criteria for proper newspapers, as t The emergence of the new media in the 17th century has to be seen in close connection with the spread of the printing press from which the publishing press derives its name. The German-language Relation aller F"urnemmen und gedenckw"urdigen Historien , printed from 1605 onwards by Johann Carolus in Strasbourg, is often recognized as the first newspaper. At the time, Strasbourg was a free imperial city in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation; the first newspaper of modern Germany was the Avisa , published in 1609 in Wolfenb"uttel. Other early papers include: The Dutch Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c. ('Courant from Italy, Germany, etc.') of 1618 was the first to appear in folio- rather than quarto-size. Amsterdam, a center of world trade, quickly became home to newspapers in many languages, often before they were published in their own country. hey were typically not intended for the general public and restricted to a certain range of topics. The first English-language newspaper, Corrant out of Italy, Germany, etc. , was published in Amsterdam in 1620. A year and a half later, Corante, or weekely newes from Italy, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Bohemia, France and the Low Countreys. was published in England by an "N.B." (generally thought to be either Nathaniel Butter or Nicholas Bourne) and Thomas Archer. The first newspaper in France was published in 1631, La Gazette (originally published as Gazette de France ). The first newspaper in Portugal, Gazeta ] , was published in 1641 in Lisbon. The first Spanish newspaper, Gaceta de Madrid, was published in 1661. Post- och Inrikes Tijyuk ded as Ordinari Post Tijdender ) was first published in Sweden in 1645, and is the oldest newspaper still in existence, though it now publishes solely online. Opregte Haarlemsche Courant from Haarlem, first published in 1656, is the oldest paper still printed. It was forced to merge with the newspaper Haarlems Dagblad in 1942 when Germany occupied the Netherlands. Since then In Boston in 1690, Benjamin Harris published Publick Occurrences Both Forreign and Domestick . This is considered the first newspaper in the American colonies even though only one edition was published before the paper was suppressed by the government. In 1704, the governor allowed The Boston News-Letter to be published and it became the first continuously published newspaper in the colonies. Soon after, weekly papers began publishing in New York and Philadelphia. These early newspapers followed the British format and were usually four pages long. They mostly carried news from Britain and content depended on the editor's interests. In 1783, the Pennsylvania Evening Post became the first American daily. In 1752, John Bushell published the Halifax Gazette , which claims to be "Canada's first newspaper." However, its official descendant, the Royal Gazette , is a government publication for legal notices and proclamations rather than a proper newspaper; In 1764, the Quebec Gazette was first printed 21 June 1764 and remains the oldest continuously published newspaper in North America as the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph . It is currently published as an English-language weekly from its offices at 1040 Belv'ed`ere, suite 218, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The first newspaper in South America was Diario de Pernambuco , established in 1825. By 2007, there were 1,456 daily newspapers in the U.S., selling 55 million copies a day. Industrial Revolution By the early 19th century, many cities in Europe, as well as North and South America, published newspaper-type publications though not all of them developed in the same way; content was vastly shaped by regional and cultural preferences. Advances in printing technology related to the Industrial Revolution enabled newspapers to become an even more widely circulated means of communication. In 1814, The Times (London) acquired a printing press capable of making 1,100 impressions per minute. Soon, it was adapted to print on both sides of a page at once. This innovation made newspapers cheaper and thus available to a larger part of the population. In 1830, the first penny press newspaper came to the market: Lynde M. Walter's Boston Transcript . Penny press papers cost about one sixth the price of other newspapers and appealed to a wider audience. In France, 'Emile de Girardin started "La Presse" in 1836, introducing cheap, advertising-supported dailies to France. In 1848, August Zang, an Austrian who knew Girardin in Paris, returned to Vienna to introduce the same methods with "Die Presse" (which was named for and frankly copied Girardin's publication). While most newspapers are aimed at a broad spectrum of readers, usually geographically defined, some focus on groups of readers defined more by their interests than their location: for example, there are daily and weekly business newspapers and sports newspapers. More specialist still are some weekly newspapers, usually free and distributed within limited areas; these may serve communities as specific as certain immigrant populations, or the local gay community.Frequency DailyA daily newspaper is issued every day, sometimes with the exception of Sundays and occasionally Saturdays, and often of some national holidays. Saturday and, where they exist, Sunday editions of daily newspapers tend to be larger, include more specialized sections and advertising inserts, and cost more. Typically, the majority of these newspapers' staff work Monday to Friday, so the Sunday and Monday editions largely depend on content done in advance or content that is syndicated. Most daily newspapers are published in the morning. Afternoon or evening papers are aimed more at commuters and office workers. UK-daily vs. Sunday Main article: Sunday editionsIn the UK, unlike most other countries, "daily" newspapers do not publish on Sundays. In the past there were independent Sunday newspapers; nowadays the same publisher often produces a Sunday newspaper, distinct in many ways from the daily, usually with a related name; e.g. The Times and The Sunday Times are distinct newspapers owned by the same company, and an article published in the latter would never be credited to The Times . Weekly and other Main article: Weekly newspaperWeekly newspapers are published once a week, and tend to be smaller than daily papers. Some newspapers are published two or three times a week; in the United States, such newspapers are generally called weeklies citation needed ]. Some publications are published, for example, fortnightly. Geographical scope and distribution Local or regionalA local newspaper serves a region such as a city, or part of a large city. Almost every market has one or two newspapers that dominate the area. Large metropolitan newspapers often have large distribution networks, and can be found outside their normal area, sometimes widely, sometimes from fewer Most nations have at least one newspaper that circulates throughout the whole country: a national newspaper . Some national newspapers, such as The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal , are specialised (in these examples, on financial matters). There are many national newspapers in the UK, but only few in the United States and Canada. In the United States, in addition to national newspapers as such, The New York Times is available throughout the country citation There is also a small group of newspapers which may be characterized as international newspapers . Some, such as The International Herald Tribune , have always had that focus, while others are repackaged national newspapers or "international editions" of national or large metropolitan newspapers. In some cases articles that might not interest the wider range of readers are omitted from international editions; in others, of interest to expatriates, significant national news is retained. As English became the international language of business and technology, many newspapers formerly published only in non-English languages have also developed English-language editions. In places as varied as Jerusalem and Mumbai, newspapers are printed for a local and international English-speaking public, and for tourists. The advent of the Internet has also allowed non-English-language newspapers to put out a scaled-down English version to give their newspaper a global outreach. Similarly, in many countries with a large foreign-language-speaking population or many tourists, newspapers in languages other than the national language are both published locally and imported. For example, newspapers and magazines from many countries, and locally published newspapers in many languages, are readily to be found on news-stands in central London.n the United States, the overall manager or chief executive of the newspaper is the publisher. In small newspapers, the owner of the publication (or the largest shareholder in the corporation that owns the publication) is usually the publisher. Although he or she rarely or perhaps never writes stories, the publisher is legally responsible for the contents of the entire newspaper and also runs the business, including hiring editors, reporters, and other staff members. This title is less common outside the U.S. The equivalent position in the film industry and television news shows is the Newspapers often refine distribution of ads and news through zoning and editioning. Zoning occurs when advertising and editorial content change to reflect the location to which the product is delivered. The editorial content often may change merely to reflect changes in advertising - the quantity and layout of which affects the space available for editorial - or may contain region-specific news. In rare instances, the advertising may not change from one zone to another, but there will be different region-specific editorial content. As the content can vary widely, zoned editions are often produced in parallel. Editioning occurs in the main sections as news is updated throughout the night. The advertising is usually the same in each edition (with the exception of zoned regionals, in which it is often the 'B' section of local news that undergoes advertising changes). As each edition represents the latest news available for the next press run, these editions are produced linearly, with one completed edition being copied and updated for the next edition. The previous edition is always copied to maintain a Newspaper of Record and to fall back on if a quick correction is needed for the press. For example, both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal offer a regional edition, printed through a local contractor, and featuring locale specific content. The Journal's global advertising rate card provides a good example of editioning. See also Los Angeles Times suburban sections. By the late 1990s, the availability of news via 24-hour television channels and then the Internet posed an ongoing challenge to the business model of most newspapers in developed countries. Paid circulation has declined, while advertising revenue - which makes up the bulk of most newspapers' income - has been shifting from print to the new media, resulting in a general decline in profits. Many newspapers around the world launched online editions in an attempt to follow or stay ahead of their audience. However, in the rest of the world, cheaper printing and distribution, increased literacy, the growing middle class and other factors have more than compensated for the emergence of electronic media and newspapers continue to grow. On 10 April 1995, The American Reporter became the first daily newspaper, with its own paid reporters around the world and all-original content, to start on the Internet. The editor-in-chief and founder is Joe Shea. The site is owned by 400 journalists. The future of newspapers in countries with easy internet access has been widely debated as the industry has faced down soaring newsprint prices, slumping ad sales, the loss of much classified advertising and precipitous drops in circulation. In recent years the number of newspapers slated for closure, bankruptcy or severe cutbacks has risen-especially in the United States, where the industry has shed a fifth of its journalists since 2001. Revenue has plunged while competition from internet media has squeezed older print publishers. The debate has become more urgent lately, as a deepening recession has shaved profits, and as once-explosive growth in newspaper web revenues has leveled off, forestalling what the industry hoped would become an important source of revenue. At issue is whether the newspaper industry faces a cyclical trough, or whether new technology has rendered obsolete newspapers in their traditional format. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=646_1364038242 qaz31 Newspapers toxic-Color of a newspaper - Toxic Newspaper Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:37:38 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=458_1363138468 volkrt 2013 Legislation - Bill Status CALIFORNIA FIREARMS-RELATED LEGISLATIVE INFORMATION The following is a update and status of 47 significant bills being tracked by CRPA for 2013 in the legislative process that are of interest to CRPA members.

Introduced: 12/20/2012 Last Amend: 2/4/2013 Status: 2/5/2013-Re-referred to Com. on PUB. S. Location: 2/5/2013-A. PUB. S. Summary: Except as specified, existing law makes it a crime to manufacture, import, keep for sale, offer or expose for sale, or give or lend any large-capacity magazine, and makes a large-capacity magazine a nuisance. Existing law defines "large-capacity magazine" to mean any ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds but excludes, in pertinent part, a feeding device that has been permanently altered so that the magazine cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds. This bill would make it a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed 6 months, or by both that fine and imprisonment, to knowingly manufacture, import, keep for sale, offer or expose for sale, or give or lend any device that is capable of converting an ammunition feeding device into a large-capacity magazine. The bill would revise the definition of "large-capacity magazine" to mean any ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, including a readily restorable, as defined, disassembled large-capacity magazine, and an oversize magazine body that appears to hold in excess of 10 rounds. The bill would make related, conforming changes. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Assemblymember Nancy Skinner AB 134 - ( Logue R) The California Public Records Act: applications for licenses and licenses to carry firearms. Introduced: 1/16/2013 Last Amend: 2/20/2013 Status: 2/21/2013-Re-referred to Com. on JUD. Location: 2/21/2013-A. JUD. Summary: Existing law, the California Public Records Act, provides that public records are open to inspection at all times during the office hours of the state or local agency that retains those records, and every person has a right to inspect any public record, except as provided. However, existing law provides that nothing in the act shall be construed to require disclosure of information contained in an application for a license to carry a firearm that indicates when or where the applicant is vulnerable to attack or that concerns the applicant's medical or psychological history or that of members of his or her family. Existing law also provides that the provisions shall not be construed to require disclosure of the home address and telephone number of prosecutors, public defenders, peace officers, judges, court commissioners, and magistrates that are set forth in applications for licenses or in licenses to carry firearms, as specified. This bill would instead provide that the California Public Records Act shall not be construed to require the disclosure of the names, home addresses, and telephone numbers of applicants that are set forth in applications to carry firearms or of licensees that are set forth in licenses to carry firearms, as specified. Because this bill would increase the duties of county sheriffs and the chiefs or other heads of police departments that issue firearms license applications, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Assemblymember Dan Logue AB 169 - ( Dickinson D) Unsafe handguns. Introduced: 1/24/2013 Last Amend: 3/4/2013 Status: 3/5/2013-Re-referred to Com. on PUB. S. Location: 3/5/2013-A. PUB. S. Summary: (1) Existing law provides for the testing of handguns and requires the Department of Justice to maintain a roster listing all handguns that are determined not to be unsafe handguns. Existing law makes it a crime, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, to manufacture, import into the state for sale, keep for sale, offer or expose for sale, give, or lend an unsafe handgun. Existing law provides that the provisions defining and governing unsafe handguns do not apply to a firearm that is a curio or relic or to certain transactions, including the sale, loan, or transfer of any firearm in a transaction that requires the use of a licensed dealer, where the sale, loan, or transfer is exempt from the provisions of law requiring the transfer to be conducted through a licensed firearms dealer, or to the delivery of a firearm to a licensed dealer for purposes of a consignment sale or as collateral for a pawnbroker loan. Existing law also makes the provisions defining and governing unsafe handguns inapplicable to the sale, loan, or transfer of any semiautomatic pistol that is to be used solely as a prop during the course of a motion picture, television, or video production, as specified . This bill would delete these exemptions and would make the provisions defining and governing unsafe handguns inapplicable to the loan or rental of any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed on the person that is used solely as a prop during the course of a motion picture, television, video production, or event, provided the loan or rental is conducted through a licensed firearms dealer, and provided the weapon is returned to the owner before or upon completion of the production or event. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

This bill would define "person" as an individual for those permit purposes for assault weapons, .50 BMG rifles, and machineguns, and other purposes related to the regulation of assault weapons and .50 BMG rifles. The bill would except application of that definition from provisions that generally prohibit the manufacture, distribution, transportation, importation, keeping for sale, offering for sale, exposing for sale, giving, or lending, of an assault weapon or .50 BMG rifle, and from provisions imposing specified sentencing enhancements related to violations of law relating to assault weapons or .50 BMG rifles. The bill would make additional conforming changes, including changes relating to annual inspections, for security and safe storage purposes, of certain permitees possessing assault weapons or .50 BMG rifles, as specified.

Assemblymember Richard Pan AB 539 - ( Pan D) Firearm possession: prohibitions: transfer to licensed dealer. Introduced: 2/20/2013 Status: 3/4/2013-Referred to Com. on PUB. S. Location: 3/4/2013-A. PUB. S. Summary: Existing law prohibits specified persons, including persons convicted of specified crimes, persons addicted to the use of any narcotic drug, certain probationers, and persons against whom specified restraining orders or injunctions apply, from possessing a firearm. Under existing law a violation of these provisions is justified if the person possessed the firearm no longer than was necessary to deliver or transport the firearm to a law enforcement agency for that agency's disposition according to law, if certain requirements are met. Existing law allows a firearm that is in the custody of a law enforcement agency to be sold or transferred to a licensed dealer if the law enforcement agency determines that the legal owner of the firearm is prohibited from possessing the firearm. Existing law requires that a person prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to certain provisions of law to be notified and provided with a form to facilitate the transfer of firearms. Existing law requires the Judicial Counsel to provide notice on all protective orders that the respondent is prohibited from possessing a firearm while the protective order is in effect and that the firearm shall be relinquished to a local law enforcement agency or a licensed firearms dealer. This bill would allow anyone who is prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm pursuant to the above provisions or any other provision of law to transfer any firearm or firearms in his or her possession, or of which he or she is the owner, to a licensed firearms dealer for the duration of the prohibition if the prohibition on owning or possessing the firearm will expires on a date specified the court order. The bill would make conforming changes to the above provisions. Because the bill would impose certain requirements on local agencies relating to the transfer of firearms to a licensed firearms dealer, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Summary: Existing law provides that certain prohibitions on the transfer of firearms do not apply if the transfer is among other things, infrequent. Existing law defines "infrequent" for these purposes as less than 6 transactions per calendar year for handguns, and occasional and without regularity for firearms other than handguns. Existing law defines "transaction" for these purposes as a single sale, lease, or transfer of any number of handguns.

P.E.,R. & S.S. Summary: The California Constitution provides that the Legislature may by statute prohibit retirement board investments if it is in the public interest to do so, and providing that the prohibition satisfies specified fiduciary standards.

The bill would also specify that good cause, for purposes of these provisions, includes personal protection or self-defense. Because the bill would impose new duties on local law enforcement officials who will be required to issue these licenses if all of the requirements are met, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Summary: Existing law prohibits a person from possessing a firearm in a place that the person knows, or reasonably should know, is a school zone, unless it is with the written permission of the school district superintendent. Under existing law, any person who violates this provision by possessing a firearm in, or on the grounds of, a public or private school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1 to 12, inclusive, is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for 2, 3, or 4 years. Under existing law, any person who violates this provision by possessing a firearm within a distance of 1,000 feet from the grounds of a public or private school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1 to 12, inclusive, is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for 2, 3, or 4 years. This bill would make a violation of the above provisions punishable in the state prison. If the person is within a class of persons prohibited from possessing a firearm, the bill would require the person to be punished in the state prison for 4, 5, or 6 years if the violation was on the school grounds, and by imprisonment in the state prison for 3, 4, or 5 years if the violation was within 1,000 feet from the school grounds.

Introduced: 2/22/2013 Status: 3/11/2013-Referred to Com. on ED. Location: 3/11/2013-A. ED. Summary: Existing law provides that school districts and county offices of education are responsible for the overall development of a comprehensive school safety plan for its schools operating kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive. Existing law requires the schoolsite council of a school to write and develop the school safety plan relevant to the needs and resources of the particular school, except as specified with regard to a small school district. Existing law requires the school safety plan to include specified strategies and programs that will provide or maintain a high level of school safety. Existing law authorizes a school district or county office of education to elect to not have its schoolsite council develop and write portions of its school safety plan that include tactical responses to criminal incidents, as defined, and instead develop those portions of the school safety plan with law enforcement officials and other specified persons. Existing law provides certain protections from disclosure for this tactical response plan. This bill would require a comprehensive school safety plan to include a tactical response plan and protocol for teachers to provide notification of pupils identified as having a potential mental health issue that is likely to result in violence or harm to the pupil or others. The bill would revise the definition of "tactical responses to criminal incidents" to include a plan to safeguard against incidents that include a firearm, explosive, or other deadly weapon. The bill would require a school district or county office of education to publicly announce its adoption or update of a tactical response plan, but would not require the school to disclose those portions of the plan that may be kept private pursuant to existing law.

Summary: Existing law regulates the possession of firearms, including storage requirements to prevent children from gaining access to firearms, and other safety devices including gun safes. Existing law also regulates the lending of firearms. Existing law defines the term "firearm" for these and other regulatory purposes, and excludes from that definition, "antique firearms" for various regulatory purposes. This bill would provide that no person who is 18 years of age or older and who is the owner, lessee, renter, or other legal occupant of a residence, shall, while outside of that residence, keep in that residence a firearm that he or she owns or has lawful possession of unless the firearm is stored in one of certain specified ways, including in a gun safe or by using a firearm safety device. Violation of these provisions would be an offense punishable as an infraction, or for subsequent violations, as an infraction or misdemeanor, as specified.

A person who violates or attempts to violate this provision is guilty of a felony or a misdemeanor. This bill would prohibit persons adjudicated to be a danger pursuant to the above provisions after January 1, 2014, from receiving or possessing any firearm or any other deadly weapon and remove the authority of a court to issue a certificate for that person to possess a firearm or any other deadly weapon. Because a violation of above prohibition would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

This bill would authorize a court to determine, at the time of arraignment in any case that is before a court concerning the commission of a felony punishable by imprisonment in a county jail, whether a defendant who is still in custody may be released on his or her own recognizance. In making this decision, the bill would require the court to determine whether the release will compromise public safety. The bill would authorize the court to consider, in its discretion, imposing on the defendant any reasonable conditions it deems appropriate, and would authorize the court to require supervision by any designated local agency, to ensure public safety and to ensure the defendant's appearance.

Violation of these provisions is a crime. Existing law defines a semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and other specified features and a semiautomatic weapon that has a fixed magazine with a capacity to accept 10 or more rounds as an assault weapon. This bill would, instead, classify a semiautomatic, rimfire or centerfire rifle that does not have a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept 10 rounds or fewer as an assault weapon. The bill would require a person who, between January 1, 2001, and prior to January 1, 2014, lawfully possessed an assault weapon that does not have a fixed magazine, including those weapons with an ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with the use of a tool, to register the firearm by July 1, 2014.

Do these characters know something we don't? Is there a master plan to assassinate Obama? Only time will tell, but until then, the words of these prophets will have to suffice. 1. Doris Lessing (2008): The Nobel Peace Prize winner Doris Lessing goes on record stating that U.S. President Barack Obama will not last long and that "they" would murder him. Who "they" is, is anybody's guess, but if you ask Gaddafi, he would say Israel. 2. Jesse Ventura (2008): The former Governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura , states that if U.S. President Barack Obama wins he would be assassinated by the U.S. government. Unfortunately, the "Conspiracy Theory" host only leaves us with vague generalizations and no specifics. 3. Hillary Clinton (2008): Current U.S. Secretary of State , Hillary Clinton , invokes the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in California and predicts that then U.S. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama may suffer the same fate. 4. Samuel L. Jackson (2008): Oscar winning actor Samuel L. Jackson wonders when someone going to try and kill U.S. President Barack Obama and predicts that someone at a Sarah Palin rally will finally say "Kill that *****!' 5. Muammar Gaddafi (2008): Muammar Gaddafi is the only known Head of State to implicate Israel in the assassination of JFK and the future assassination of U.S. President Barack Obama. How much longer Gaddafi will be alive is not clear, but his prophetic statement that Israel will assassinate Obama may soon come to fruition. 6. Muammar Gaddafi (2009): As if the world did not hear him the first time, Gaddafi again predicted he future assassination of Barack Obama by the state of Israel. Roughly 2 years later after his last prediction, Libya was invaded and Gaddafi was removed from power. 7. Ray Larson (2009): The International Imperial Wizard of the National Knights of the Klu Klux Klan , Ray Larsen, predicts that someone from the South (Confederate part of the U.S.) will eventually assassinate U.S. President Barack Obama. 8. Nostradamus Child (2010): Oliver, the alleged child Nostradamus of Columbia, predicts the future assassination of U.S. President Barack Obama. Unfortunately, Oliver was unable to divulge the exact date that Obama would be assassinated and who would ultimately be responsible. 9. Glenn Beck (2010): Fox News TV anchor and nationally syndicated radio host, Glenn Beck , states that "9/11 Truthers" will ultimately assassinate U.S. President Barack Obama. Does Beck know something we don't? Is there a plan to assassinate Obama and blame 9/11 Truthers? 10. Alex Jones (2010): Infowars radio host and renowned fear monger, Alex Jones , states that the assassination of U.S. President Barack Obama is the next false-flag, but ultimately fails to produce one shred of evidence as to why this may be the case. Jones appears to be acting on insider information, as he states that he is now 100% sure Obama will be targeted for assassination. 11. Michelle Obama (2011): U.S. President Barack Obama's wife, Michelle Obama , made a ghastly statement when she stated to the Secret Service " Just tell me when - where to run". This statement clearly infers that an assassination of her husband involving the Secret Service is just around the corner. Mrs. Obama's statement indicates that the White House is leaking future assassination insinuations in an attempt to prepare the American public for what is about to transpire. 1.

Title: Hillary Clinton: 'Maybe Barack Obama Will Be Assassinated' Date: May 24, 2008 Source: Telegraph Abstract : Uttering one of the most outrageous public statements of any candidate who has run in this long and arduous presidential campaign..."My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it" (Telegraph, 2008) . YouTube Video Hillary Clinton: I'm staying in case Obama gets assassinated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw98fouyfBg Uploaded on May 23, 2008 Hillary Clinton invokes the assassination of Robert Kennedy as justification to remain in the presidential race. "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it." Mike Huckabee could have declared: "I'm staying in the race just in case John Mccain has a stroke." He could even have referenced Ted Kennedy's recent health problems as an example. But he didn't. Mike Huckabee (and most other politicians) has way too much class for that kind of garbage. But Hillary Clinton proves once again that she and her husband Bill Clinton are utterly shameless. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton. --------------------------------------------- Have You No Sense of Decency, Senator Clinton? In a stunning turn of events, Senator Clinton has assassinated her own soul, in the hotly-contested race for the Democratic candidacy. The annihilation of her soul, which had been suspected for months, was formally complete after the Senator made this comment to the editorial board of South Dakota's Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it." The campaign denies that she was making any kind of dark insinuation about the safety of her rival Senator Obama. But insiders say Mrs. Clinton decided to throw out her last scrap of soul because, as they put it, "it was getting in her way". One insider describes it likes this: "Hill's a fighter. No man is expected to have a soul and get anywhere. She was keeping that last little bit just for old times' sake. For Chelsea maybe. Do you really want someone who has to stare down Ahmadinejad to have a soul?" A superdelegate who is supporting Clinton, and who asked to remain anonymous, agreed that souls have been damning the Democratic party for decades. "Look, let's get real here. Souls cause you to reflect, to ponder, to think before you speak, to let us get all Swift-Boated and suffocated by our own sense of putrid decency. How's that working for us? It's not. Now that Hillary's soul is totally gone, we can get down to some real full-on ass-kicking." Sources say she received spiritual counseling on soul-extermination by the former top Bush adviser Karl Rove. While Senator Clinton has apologized, staffers say that the words of contrition are not evidence of left-over soul. "Nah, it's gone. She just has to say "I'm Sorry". And doesn't she look fabulous without her soul? I mean, I know I'm not supposed to talk about how she looks, but she's glowing!" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/linda-k...

MICHELLE OBAMA OBAMA CSI .COM Date: October 5, 2011 Name: Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama Age: 47 Ethnicity: Black Location: Washington D.C. Affiliations: The White House, Princeton, Harvard Suspect: N/A Quote: "Just Tell Me When - Where To Run" OBAMA CSI .COM: U.S. President Barack Obama's wife, Michelle Obama, made a ghastly statement when she stated to the Secret Service" Just tell me when - where to run". This statement clearly infers that an assassination of her husband involving the Secret Service is just around the corner. Mrs. Obama's statement indicates that the White House is leaking future assassination insinuations in an attempt to prepare the American public for what is about to transpire. Title: Michelle Obama Tells Secret Service: 'Just Tell Me When - Where To Run' Date: October 5, 2011 Source: Politico Abstract : First lady Michelle Obama made a rare trip to Secret Service headquarters Wednesday, where she glimpsed the intricate work that goes into protecting her family - and the potential danger of that mission. After an hourlong tour of the agency's protective intelligence division and the joint operations center, Obama called the daily tasks performed by the Secret Service "pretty scary." "All I can say is, after my little tour, is ignorance is bliss," Obama told a packed crowd of Secret Service employees who had gathered in a conference room to hear her speak. "I just - I just don't want to know," the first lady continued to laughter. "You all can handle that. Just tell me when - where to run." Obama - who has spoken in interviews about the constraints of living inside the presidential bubble and the loss of privacy that comes with being watched every moment - said the Secret Service agents at the White House have become like family over the past two-and-a-half years. In fact, she said, the first family has grown so close to the agents around the house that they will sometimes have little spats about who gets which Secret Service agent on various outings. Obama said her youngest daughter, Sasha, will tell her sister Malia, "You took Scott!" And sometimes Malia, who apparently has grown close to the same agent, will say "You took Scott? That's not fair!" The first lady said she can relate to that sentiment. "I'll say the same thing to Barack - it's like, 'Why do you get Beth?'" she said, adding, "It's dinner table conversation." More seriously, Obama lauded the agency's employees for their work, adding that she and the president believe the Secret Service "is always 100 percent on point, truly." "I mean, not just in terms of how you all do your job, but how you all make us feel," she said, as Secret Service employees snapped pictures of her with their digital cameras. "And that is important when you're trying to live a normal life and raise a couple of girls in the White House. You all have really made us feel at home and safe, and there is no amount of thanks that I could convey that would give you a sense of how important you all are to us." Appearing on stage with the first lady, Mark Sullivan , the director of the Secret Service, told Obama that her visit "means so much to all of us." Sullivan also thanked her for "the way you have treated the men and women of our organization." A first lady visit to Secret Service headquarters is unusual, said Ed Donovan, a spokesman for the agency. "It has happened," he said, "but it's not a regular occurrence" (Politico, 2011) . https://sites.google.com/site/csiobama/PREDICTORS-OF-ASSASSINATION 1367 days until C OBAMACSI.pdf View Download 7789k v. 2 Nov 1, 2011, 1:26 PM David Chase Taylor Obama's Last Day in Office https://sites.google.com/site/csiobama/pdf-1 God Will Decide Concerning O bama There are many who would have reason to do Barack O bama in: Neocons who don't want to give up power and don't want to be prosecuted for war crimes, as has been intimated by him. Patriots who don't want to see him take the country away from the Constitution of morality. (Totalitarianism will be easy now with the foundation laid by Clinton and Bush with their executive orders.) Communists who know that this would cause a civil war and destroy our economy. Neo-Nazis, racists, skinheads, the KKK hate his color and socialist ways, as we have seen. Radical Islamic factions who kill their own anyway and know all Islam would rise up in anger against the U.S. Militant anti-abortion radicals who know that O bama will continue to do everything he can to murder babies, even after they escape the abortionist alive. The elitists who put him in office who feel he has outlived his usefulness. And the list goes on and on... As Christians who believe the Word and submit to Jesus' command to love our enemies and overcome evil with good, we cannot condone any of this and it is all sadness to us. But we also bow to the sovereignty of God who said, Rom.13:1...there is no power but of God; and the that be are ordained of God. Dan.4:17... the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men. Ps.75:7 But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another . This means that whether O bama stays in or is taken out, God has spoken, even through vessels of dishonor like assassins. However, if you Christians think God has called you to fight O bama and this government, you desperately need to read The Sword or the Cross? and listen to Honor the king? (1) , Honor the king? (2) and Honor the king? (3) . Many Christians are victims of neglecting their Bibles and their consciences. God has used the choice of many to give O bama as leader of America and the world, and He may use the choice of vessels of dishonor to take him out as a judgment, too. Hos.13:11 I have given thee a king in mine anger, and have taken him away in my wrath. Time will tell but the good side is that God will use tribulation to wake up the chosen in a great end-time revival. PTL! Your servant, David http://www.ubm1.org PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION Obama and the Near Future Note from David: Below are some dreams and Bible Codes about Barack O bama and his future administration. They seem to point to his future assassination. As Christians, we certainly don't agree with Barack O bama's moral stand on a few issues but certainly no one here wishes to see bad things happen to him or America. We pray for him and his family, as the Lord through Paul asked us to do in 1 Tim. 2:1,2. Also, dreams like the ones below are sometimes warnings and not necessarily prophecies. But for it to be an effective warning this thing needs to be considered a possibility. We are warned that dreams and visions come from God and men ignore them to their own destruction (Job 33:14-30). Also, dreams can come through other sprits than the Lord, including human spirits. In the New Covenant under grace, we are not commanded to judge the dreamer, prophet or revelator, but the dream, prophecy or revelation itself after we permit them to speak (1 Cor. 14:26-33). So we are letting them speak here and you may discern. If something doesn't come to pass we can ignore it and take it down, as even the law said in Dt.18:22. Anyone who judges others according to the law will be judged by it. Please read this, pray and discern. O bama Wins the Nomination? Anonymous. - 3/06/08 In a dream I was in a huge auditorium. I heard the speaker announce the Democratic Party's votes. First the light went on John Edwards. Then it went on Hillary Clinton, and lastly it went on Barack O bama. I heard that Barack O bama got a majority vote and even people from different parties voted for him. I then saw him come on stage. He was dressed like someone from the 17th century, with a shirt that had lots of frills on it. He also looked white rather than black. His complexion became like as a white man, though, when he took the stage his face looked somewhat proud that he could be elected to run for the Democrats. This man got overwhelming support. I also saw the numbers 7077. I wonder what that means. O bama Inaugurated and Assassinated Eve Brast - 7/19/08 As I watched Mr. O bama give a speech, I looked left down the street and had an open vision of his inauguration outside another government building with another crowd around him. It was still dark in this dream and in the open vision, also. I felt and thought "tragedy" when I looked at him. The next word that came to my mind was "assassination." I thought to myself, "It is a shame he will be sacrificed and doesn't even know it." O bama Assassinated Rick Sergent - 7/15/08, 8/24/08 I say this with great reluctance. I was visiting my friend Mary in Indiana on 7/15/08. I was in her kitchen, at the table. I heard in my spirit, " O bama will be assassinated." This really brought sorrow to my spirit. I thought about his wife and two children. I struggled about going public with this. Then on 8/24/08 I was talking on the phone with a friend about that three-year-old missing girl in Florida when I saw a vision of a round tombstone and O bama's name was on it. That made me decide to share this. Personal note: I pray that Mr. O bama's heart will be right with the Lord. I personally believe this may cause riots in the streets of America and maybe even martial law. It's Already Decided April Fields - 10/10/08 I had a dream the night before last that I was waiting in a line to vote. When it was my turn, they gave me a hand-held video game. When the image came up on the screen, the names of the candidates floated up like puzzle pieces and then quickly moved around like a game. By the time I figured out how to hit the puzzle piece with McCain/Palin on it, it was gone. When I complained to the attendant that I didn't get the chance to vote I was told, "Too bad, you can't do it over." When I woke up I couldn't decide if that meant I wasn't supposed to vote or that it was just a game and it didn't matter if I voted because it is already decided. (Note from David: Although there appeared to be a lot of dishonest vote-tampering going on, God has decided that a people will receive what they need or deserve, even if it's a spanking. {Rom.13:1} Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the that be are ordained of God. ) Assassination of a President Amos Scaggs - 7/08/08 The real depression will start when the/a President is assassinated. After realizing the assassination had been committed, I said, "They got him, too. Didn't they? ... When is this going to stop?" Bible Code Links . "B. O bama will be selected" . "Shooting of O bama" . "Suspicion of an O bama assassination..." . " O bama was killed" . "From the back, B. O bama was killed; you committed a crime." This is a highly significant code; it is 20 letters long, in clear Hebrew and evenly spread through a large section of the Hebrew Old Testament. The software calculates the odds of this happening just by chance at 875,616,773,762,370: 1 against . Note from David: Bible codes also must be discerned, not because of what is shown in the matrix but because of what has not yet been found in the matrix. The code only shows what you ask the software to search for. Suppose you forget to ask for the word "delayed," as has happened. This changes the whole story. It's like filling in a jigsaw puzzle but leaving out a line of information. For example, it could be found that "So and so did this," but if they searched for and found a few more words it could be, "They falsely said, 'so and so did this.'" The results could be the opposite. However, the more codes show up saying the same thing from different people, the greater the likelihood of them being correct. Plot to Kill O bama: Shoot from High Vantage Point 8/26/08 DENVER (CBS4/AP) - Denver's U.S. attorney is expected to speak on Tuesday afternoon about the arrests of four people suspected in a possible plot to shoot Barack O bama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver. All are being held on either drug or weapons charges. Click here for full article. Note from David: I empathize with many African-Americans who are jubilant to finally have what they feel is one of their own to be in such a position of power in this world who could represent them. However, we should judge a man by what he does and not by what he says or our own selfish ambitions. As Christians, we are forbidden to judge those who are without the kingdom, as 1 Corinthians 5:12,13 commands. I hope that if he is assassinated that many won't take the law into their own hands and cause a civil war. God Will Decide Concerning O bama There are many who would have reason to do Barack O bama in: Neocons who don't want to give up power and don't want to be prosecuted for war crimes, as has been intimated by him.

David Eells Will Barak Obama, just as Alexander the Great did, conquer the great eagle of Babylon, as a type of the U.S., and then conquer Persia (Iran), then die, bringing in the tribulation persecution of the saints? Robert I. Holmes said the following: In 1999, as I prepared to travel to the US on ministry, the Lord gave me a very unusual prophetic word. He said that , "In the days of Babylon, when her walls stood wide and her leaders stood tall, her defenses were strong and her campaigns victorious, Alexander the Great came and defeated her. In the same way, my Alexander will stand in the very midst of the United States of America." I believe that God's "Alexander" is Barak Obama. He has now stood in the middle of America, and declared his victory speech in Grant Park in Chicago. There, he prophetically declared, "Change has come to America," "The American Empire is coming to an end." Instead of Desert Storm, which was over desert, we may soon see the Perfect Storm over water. Obama may very well be the one who retaliates against Iran for the next 9/11 strike on America, whether they are guilty or not. I believe they will be successful, at least initially. It was that way with Iraq, too. Amos' revelation seems to confirm this. Amos Scaggs heard on 3/09/06: "We are going to invade Iran on three fronts with an overwhelming force and be victorious." Also, on 3/07/06, he heard: "We broke their code -- The enemy." According to Jeremiah 25, there are only two times the U.S. could conquer Iran. {Jer.25:9} behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about (Middle East); and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations. {25:12} And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished , that I will punish the king of Babylon , and that nation, saith Jehovah, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate for ever . The Lord showed me that this 70 years that the U.S. will be trampling the Middle East will be the same as the 7 years in the book of Revelation that the harlot will ride the beast and then be destroyed by it at the end. The list of nations that are conquered during this time are in Jeremiah 25:17-26 and the last verse is when Babylon, as a type of the U.S., falls. The last on the list before Babylon is Elam or Iran along with the Medes and the kings of the north . This is the only time in the list Iran is conquered... Unless she is conquered before this 7 year tribulation list of wars. This is what I believe will happen, since the last war seems to be mixed with the kings of the north , which is probably Russia and company, and since this is the time Babylon fell, too. Also, I do not believe Obama will live to the end of the tribulation. So, I think that the U.S. will strike Iran before the tribulation and help cause the tribulation covenant, as we will see below. In Daniel's vision, he was in Elam (Iran) and saw the Medo-Persian (Iran and allies) Ram pushing westward, as they are now. {Dan.8:2} And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam (Persia/Iran) ; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai. {3} Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns (Medo-Persians) : and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. {4} I saw the ram pushing westward (Iraq, Hamas in Israel, Hezbollah in Lebanon) , and northward (North Iraqi Kurds) , and southward (in the Persian Gulf) ; and no beasts could stand before him (so far), neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself. Then, Daniel saw a he-goat fly over the face of the whole earth without touching the ground , which describes America's attack by air and sea on Iran better than Alexander the Great's attack on them. {5} And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat (originally Alexander the Great's Grecian Empire - Second fulfillment - Barak Obama's U.S. Empire) came from the westover the face of the whole earth , and touched not the ground : and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. {6} And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power. {7} And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. {8} And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken . (Obama will likely be assassinated.) Prophetically, the next thing Daniel describes is the saints in tribulation in the time of Antiochus Epiphanes (8:9-14), a type of the beast. I have believed this attack on Iran would bring the tribulation. {Dan.8:9} And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious . {10} And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground , and trampled upon them. (The beast will cause a great falling away through the mark of the beast.) {11} Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host (The High Priest, Jesus) ; and it took away from him the continual ], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down . {12} And the host was given over together with the continual through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did and prospered. This describes the great persecution against Christians who have a continual burnt offering through offering up their beastly bodies as a living sacrifice in the fiery trials. The mark will bring an end of this sacrifice for many "Christians" and they will be cast down as the sanctuary of God and the seed of Abraham, the stars of heaven. President Obama Saved Chad Rial - 11/14/10 (David's notes in red) I had a dream last night that Obama was floating on a raft with Navy Seal swimmers underneath. He was looking a little unkempt. I spoke to him and he was reading a Sovereign God book and was telling me that he was really getting a lot of good things from it. :) Chad said to me: I'm thinking of what happened to Nebuchadnezzar; perhaps history will just repeat for the king of Babylon? He was definitely in survival mode. I felt to pray for him when I woke up and that he was going to get saved ... we will see! I replied: That would be awesome, Chad. We also have a lot of dreams that he would be killed. (Perhaps this is spiritual death-to-self by character assassination. :o) Let's pray the Lord gives us more on this. Perhaps we should send him a Sovereign God book and tell him to read chapter two first. :o) He is in a tight spot. If he doesn't obey the banksters there is a history of presidents dying at their hands. Floating above the waters of the beast with the killers below sounds like he is getting saved??? I guess if he got saved they would surely try to shoot him. (When Paul was saved, the powers that be tried to kill him.) We better pray for him. Chad answered: I was just thinking that exact thought 20 minutes ago. Meaning, send him a Sovereign God book. :) So I prayed and felt really good that we should send President Obama a Sovereign God book with a note from Chad and myself and we prayed that he would get it: "Father, we pray for President Obama, that you would have grace and mercy upon him and draw him unto Yourself in the saving knowledge of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ." NOTE: Garrett knew nothing of this revelation when he got a confirmation below, for we told no one about it. X Appears, Obama Fired/Saved, Year 2 Trib Garrett Crawford Dream 1 12/01/10 (Garrett and David's notes in red) I found myself in a dream, standing in a basement where I was watching the Chicago Bulls having practice. I saw them going through drills and practicing hard. The star point guard , Derek Rose , was being insubordinate to the head coach during these drills -- he was not obeying orders . (Derek is the star point guard; he controls the ball and the offense runs through him. President Obama too is the point man for the NWO; he is the star of the show but he will be disobedient to the real boss. Derek Rose was born and raised in the city of Chicago; after college he was drafted by his hometown Chicago Bulls. Obama's hometown is Chicago and much of his professional and political life was spent in that city. The Obamas have all been seen dressed in black and red , as at their inauguration; this was in my mind when seeing the Lord use the black and red colors Derek was dressed in . They are both black men. Derek means, "Famous ruler, or ruler of the people." With his last name being Rose, we clearly see the key to who this person represents -- a famous red ruler or a famous Communist ruler.) In real life, the coach of the Bulls is a fairly tall, middle-aged man, but I noticed that the coach was a very small and wrinkly old man .(The elderly Bilderbergers/Illuminati/Banksters that put presidents in and take them out through their national news media.) The coach fired Derek Rose on the spot and the team left the room, leaving Derek alone. (Derek only played one year at the University of Memphis. As a freshman, he led them to the national title game; after the fact, he was declared ineligible because he cheated on his SATs. The whole season was forfeited and the accomplishments of that team were wiped away from the record books. This was a pretty big scandal. There is much evidence that points to President Obama not being a naturally-born citizen of this country, thus making him ineligible to hold office and he would forfeit much of his team's accomplishments.) I watched as Derek, dressed in his red and black Bulls uniform, humbly walked over to a window and just silently gazed out into space. It seemed he was contemplating a lot of things. I walked over to the window where Derek Rose was standing -- I on the right and he on the left -- and I looked out the window with him. Something very strange was going on in the sky; it had a red hue to it, but it was nighttime. I noticed the moon in its normal spot off to left of the sky, but when I looked back over to the right , there set another moon ! (Planet X, Nibiru, the brown dwarf.) This startled me. I had to really make sure I was seeing what I was seeing. I stared back and forth between the two objects and came to the conclusion I was not imagining anything. I was seeing two celestial objects in the sky! That is when I ran out of the room Derek and I were in. I called as many people as I could walking in the hallway outside to witness this strange sight. Everyone saw the same thing I did and they were all amazed. It wasn't too long before I came to the conclusion that this was Planet X . As soon as I was fully convinced in my heart this was real, the boldness of the Lord rose up inside me and without knowing what I was saying, I spoke to Derek and the others I had called upon and said, " You now only have five years left to get right with God ." (Joseph's brothers had finally recognized him as their brother who had been promoted as head of the kingdom. He said to them: {Gen.45:6} For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and there are yet five years , in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest. This represented the end of the second year of tribulation with five more years to go when there is famine and starvation and poison everywhere. Planet X will be casting asteroids and comets to the earth in the first trumpet judgments of Revelation 8:6-11. President Obama may not be supported by the powers that be for another term or they may just decide to take him out, as dreams and Bible codes point to -- or both.) After seeing this heavenly object so close to Earth, I wondered how we had never seen this before now. In the dream, I started to look through magazines, books and Internet sources to find recent pictures or news footage of the same area that I had seen where the two moons appeared, wondering how I or anyone else could have missed such a thing. In every single picture or video, someone had conveniently placed buildings or obstructions right in front of the area where the second moon was in the sky. I was convinced in every instance the forces that be deliberately Photoshopped or video-edited the obstructions in so the moon could not be seen. (We have seen photos altered to block what many thought was the brown dwarf, which can only be seen with an infrared telescope.) (I can honestly say I did not at all connect this dream below to the first one above, until the Lord spoke to me during worship Friday that they were connected.) Dream 2 12/10/10 I had a dream that the world was going through major changes. (Like the seal and trumpet judgments and the dragon government of Revelation 12.) It seemed like a huge transitional time in world history; it seemed very surreal. I saw President Barack Obama lose power and the world's attention was placed upon another. It seemed a man from a European country became very prominent, as Obama's favor waned. (The beast government will change leadership going through the tribulation, proving that the one man ruler theory is wrong.) This man was really wicked, much more wicked than Obama. He was a white man with slick black hair. It was made very clear to me that through a series of God-ordained events in Obama's life , he had been severely humbled and broken . I believe losing power and being abandoned by the ones who ushered him to the heights of world power added to this. I saw very clearly this was Godly sorrow and a real repentance had taken place. (Praise to the Lord! :o) Not long after these things were revealed, I ran into David Eells on the street. There was only one thing on his mind; he was very vocal about sharing what the Lord had laid upon his heart. David wanted to talk about Barack Obama and how we all in the Christian community needed to receive him as a brother and not hold anything against him anymore. David shared with me how Barack had been granted repentance from the Lord and how he was a changed man . Later in the dream, toward the end, I was with my grandma and she was on her death bed; she called me to her side. There was only one thing on her mind and that was how troubled she was for speaking evil against Barack Obama ; she was very regretful and beside herself for judging him while he was lost . She too had been shown by the Lord that Barack was now following God . (Grandma represents the old-order church which has railed at President Obama. Listen to Honor the King .) Note: I was in service tonight (8/26/11) and I was meditating on the dream during worship. I had the thought that Obama's repentance reminds me of what God did with Nebuchadnezzar. I asked the Lord for a word to confirm or deny if Barack would be granted repentance , so I opened my Bible and fixed my eyes on the first verse I saw: (Isa.55:7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Update Garrett Crawford - 5/03/11 As of May 3, 2011 President Barack Obama was riding a wave of accolades and praise from both sides of the aisle for the reported "death" of Osama Bin Laden. I have not seen this much worship of Obama since the days immediately after the 2008 presidential election. It is no coincidence that his prophetic symbol in the dream I was shown above has also reached the pinnacle of his short professional career by capturing the NBA Most Valuable Player award and, at 22, he is the youngest ever to do so. On May 3rd, Derrick Rose was named the NBA MVP after statistically dominating the league all year long. I have watched basketball for years and have rarely seen a player be able to physically do the things he has done on the basketball court, especially against the type of superior competition he faces night after night. I knew the Lord made this happen to confirm the parable he was speaking to us in the dream -- that Obama and Rose are living parallel lives at this point in their respective careers. Although, Obama has reached the highs of his career, the Lord has prophesied that around the appearing of Planet X, all of Obama's accomplishments will have been forgotten and as, Donald Trump would say, "Your Fired." That's not an endorsement of Trump. :o) Rose youngest player in NBA history to win MVP award Obama praised from across political spectrum for bin Laden elimination Judgement poured out/Peace Brothers and sisters, The vision I had last night has grieved me. I did not want to share this with others. But I will be a messenger for God. Blessings, Kim October 20, 2008 I was praying and asking the Lord if Obama was evil. I saw the heart of Obama. A heart full of goodness and with love. I prayed about America and saw these things: I saw the United states map. It looked like a hard cookie. I saw it broken in half. The sound was like a cookie being broken in two. It was ripped hard and loud and completely torn. I asked an Angel if it was real and I saw it again. I thought 'this means a divided country'. I saw the united states map and pouring down onto the center of it was a red liquid. I sense something about a drowning in this red liquid. It is not blood. I saw the United States and all the state borders were thicker and blacker and bolder. I prayed and saw many large rocks falling. They were dry rocks about the size of beach balls but ragged and dusty. It seems as though it were once a larger rock and it had broken apart into these pieces. My husband just called me to watch something political on TV. On TV there was talk of there being a crack in the dam of America. The pro and anti American talk. The nation is more divided than ever. It is coming to a head. I prayed in English and in tongues. I cry out to God to help me. I share my doubt and fear with Him. I see an image of a roaring lion as I pray this. I pray for those who err that are God's people. I pray for my own shortcomings. I pray for those who are campaigning. I see many things breaking, falling and breaking. I hear the crash. I see a room full of items like lamps and furniture falling in on itself. The room caves in on itself. I see the republican party and I see chaos, brokenness, fragmentation, all loss of order, despair, crumbling. It looks like an earthquake has occurred. Everything is dire. Nothing is in order. Nothing works. It has ceased to be. I ask the Lord, 'what does this mean for America?' I see the very light blue color. It seems it is on the wing of a bird. What does this color represent? The color of a new nation. I ask, 'An evil nation rising?' I see people from all classes and of different races. I sense a calming. I sense a joy. I ask, 'Lord are good things coming soon? I thought your judgement was coming upon America?' I feel this peace and serenity though. I see this bird that has blue wings. It represents a purity and a wholesomeness. I hear silence. Unusual silence amid the blue. It is so peaceful and nice. And I am praying for more information for the Lord but I am wrapped up in this feeling of peace and quiet and calm. 'Lord, is there anything else you want to show me at this time?' I only sense an unrest from the East. It seems as though a large black gun is pointed at us and I sense anger and dislike. But I do not see it being fired. end April 12, 2010 I shared some things with my mother that the Lord has been showing me. One of the things that caught my attention and puzzled me greatly was this from October, 2008: I ask the Lord, 'what does this mean for America?' I see the very light blue color (UN). It seems it is on the wing of a bird. What does this color represent? The color of a new nation. I ask, 'An evil nation rising?' I see people from all classes and of different races. I sense a calming. I sense a joy. I ask, 'Lord are good things coming soon? I thought your judgement was coming upon America?' I feel this peace and serenity though. I see this bird that has blue wings. It represents a purity and a wholesomeness. I hear silence. Unusual silence amid the blue. It is so peaceful and nice. And I am praying for more information for the Lord but I am wrapped up in this feeling of peace and quiet and calm. 'Lord, is there anything else you want to show me at this time?' I only sense an unrest from the East. I prayed about this feeling of peace because, for the life of me, I cannot compute the blue color being something peaceful. So, I prayed about this: I came before the Lord and prayed, 'Lord, I feel you showed me that Obama would be a president in a time of great sadness yet he doesn't seem sad. This seems strange to me.' The Lord spoke to me, 'It is a time of great sorrow. Look at my people. Look at America. Look at the anger in their eyes, the hardness on their faces, their fists raised in the air. Look at the words that they are speaking to one another. It makes me feel very, very sad.' I can see what the Lord means about sorrow when he shows me this. 'But, Lord, I saw Obama being very somber when I prayed before. And he isn't.' The Lord only said, 'It is early, yet.' I see a man standing in front of God's throne as I pray. He is not an angel. He is a man. As strange as this sounds, it seems like it is John, the apostle. This is very odd to me. I'm not sure what I think of it. He is standing and he speaks to me. I notice in this man's hand is a clear, glass container with a lid on it. John removes the lid and inside I see strong words of judgement, cruel words that are being spoken in the earth going into the container. I see John put the lid on the container and close it. I hear the Lord say,' All of the words of judgement are being collected and saved.' Then I saw John take the lid off and turn the container upside down and all the judgements fell to the earth. I heard the Lord say, 'I will give their words of judgement back to them for it is written, 'If you judge, you will be judged. You will be judged by the same standard you use to judge others.' (Matt.7:1&2). I see the container poured out. The words are dark, vicious and powerful. I see that what comes out of this container fall down upon those who have spoken them and they are like insects that bite and the pain they bring to those who spoke them is great. I see the judgements poured back down on these people being powerful and strong. The people lay in anguish and pain, their eyes wide open and they weep and scream. I pray about the blue color and the peace that seems so serene in the vision I had in 2008. As I'm praying the Lord says, 'It is about the work that Obama is doing in regard to getting rid of nuclear weapons. It is about what is happening now.' I ask the Lord, 'Will there be peace?' And he says, 'There will be peace for a moment.' I then see John again with a container. The Lord says, 'I am answering the prayers of my people regarding this for they have prayed for many, many years for peace.' I see what looks like prayers going into the container. They are from the people of earth. Then I see John pour them out of the container back out onto the earth. As he pours it out, I see what looks like a gas or a cloud that is very small come out and go up into the air. I look and see this again. This time when I see it again I notice a light, clear liquid like soft rain falls out onto the earth. But it only falls for a very short time. This is all so strange to me. The Lord tells me, 'Kim, you are right in what you have sensed about the words people are speaking in this nation regarding many things. They make judgements, speak lies and spread them around. The very words they speak are saved. I hear and keep every word. They will be poured out back upon the people who say them. What they say of Obama: that he is a foreigner, that he is a communist, a socialist, that he is antichrist, that he is so evil will be given back to them in a leader who IS all these things and they will embrace this leader. I will bring the judgement back on them for it is written: 'If you judge, you will be judged. You will be judged by the same standard you use to judge others.' (Matt.7:1&2) 'Kim, it is true that there will come a time when people will say that they wish for the days when Obama was our president because the leader coming after him will be so very, very evil. They don't know what is going to happen! They don't know how evil the days are going to get!' This bothers me a lot. I do not like the words I hear. It is frightening. I think to myself, 'How can I bring this word to so many people who dislike Obama so much?' I don't know that I can. I am not sure what to do. The Lord knows and I pray he shows me. 'Lord, what is going to happen after Obama has worked with many other nations toward getting rid of nuclear weapons?' The Lord says to me, 'The road is being made ready.' I see what looks like people making a smooth and new road. Many people are working on this. 'Is it the path being made fully ready for the dark leader of many nations to come down?' The Lord says sadly, 'Kim, you know that it is.' I just feel sad, frustrated and irritated. I do have a better understanding but there are things I don't understand. But I must shake off my attitude and be grateful that the Lord has answered me concerning these things. end I sense danger. I have felt afraid for a little while now. I thought I saw something in my van outside earlier. I keep thinking about the dream where people are trying to shoot me with guns because of what I said about Obama. I am praying about this. I heard a voice say, 'There is an enemy lurking.' The voice is kind of like a whisper. I pray and hear nothing else. But I see a demonic force. It has the face of a man but it has many legs like a spider. It moves like a crab, though. It scuttles sideways. It reminds me of the creature I saw with many arms in nations in the earth. It looks smaller though. Its power doesn't seem as strong. I test the voice I heard. I hear it say, 'The enemy is close.' It was an angel telling me. I will pray more on this. Chicago Riots Prophecy "My brother, Noah Packard, says that he heard the Prophet Joseph Smith say that the next great (U.S. civil) war after the war of the rebellion (the Civil War of the 1860's between the North and the South) would commence in a little town now called Chicago but at that time it would have grown to be a very large city. And another brother told me that the Prophet said that the cause of the next great trouble of the United States would be the depreciation of the currency of the United States. I believe I have given you all the facts in as short and concise manner as possible." (A. Milton Musser papers, LDS Church Archives, letter from Nephi Packard to A. Milton Musser, July 24, 1896.) I just discovered the above prophecy. It confirms what I have seen in vision, and previously reported on this site as well. I saw: 1. Dollars blowing in the street and ignored like worthless trash. 2. Obama assassinated in the same manner that they killed Kennedy. 3. Race riots in Chicago fomented by agent provocateurs after the assassination. 4. Food shortages so severe that men would battle to the death for a chewed up stick of gum on the pavement. 5. Militarized street gangs, with military grade weaponry, accelerating the work of death. 6. Firestorms raising what is left of the city to the ground. 7. Plagues, Famine and the Sword. Those that live in the city, or suburbs, which are vast, will all ultimately be effected. Although the rioting will begin in the city core. With the rapidly accelerating descent of the dollar, welfare checks, social security checks, SSI payments etc., will soon be worthless. This, coupled with the fact that commodity prices will skyrocket, will cause the social breakdown. Those that live in the Chicago area would be best served by having an exit strategy for leaving the city when the first signs of chaos appear. Those unable to leave, will need to form neighborhood defense groups to defend against the roving gangs. The city proper has a population of about 3 million people and is the third most populated city in the United States. I recommend the following for those that remain: 1. Water purifiers. Also, store bottled water. 2. Store food. Up to 12 months if possible.Dry food, with minimal water content. 3. Shotgun for home defense. Buy birdshot, not buckshot, with a wide pattern. A 12 gauge that can hold several rounds.If you can afford it, a 17 HMR for neighborhood protection (with a scope). The 17HMR is a 22 magnum. Buy hollowpoints for ammo. Bolt action is fine and easy to clean. I also like the 9 mm for in home protection, after you buy a shotgun. 4. Warm sleeping bags, firewood and plenty of waterproof matches. Candles are also important. Good boots (combat from army surplus or hiking), along with a back-pack. Flashlight with its own hand-crank generator. 5. Convert all surplus dollars into gold and silver bullion. This will be the currency of the realm, since it is the only real money in this world of ours. 6. Form a Mutual Defense League with neighbors and friends. You have a Constitutional Right to defend your property and lives from attack. Never go on the offensive. Formulate a plan to secure your neighborhood. Never surrender your weapons. Hide them instead. 7. Be spiritually prepared. If you are afraid, you are not spiritually prepared. Fast (go without food/water), pray and read your Holy Books until you find peace with your God. Get rid of evil influences that generate fear or lust. Cleanse your mind. Forgive others and ask that you might be forgiven as well. Keep the 10 Commandments. Do not lust after the blood or lives of others. 8. Expect miracles and pray for them. God has preserved my life from great enemies and He will do the same for you, if you ask for it. Pray to be invisible from your enemies. I do no harm to others and expect to receive no harm in return. Yet, I maintain the right to protect myself and my family as my highest privilege. You have the same rights as I do. Please exercise those rights, while there is still time. A Prophetic Word Regarding Barack Obama The Word of the Lord given through His servant Scott Hofstee October 25, 2008/ Tishrei 26, 5769 On January 3, 2008 I was looking for something to watch on television. As I was surfing the channels I decided on catching some news. As I tuned in the news, the results of the Iowa caucus were being announced. I preceded to hear the results of the Democratic caucus and began listening to the winner give a speech to people. As this man spoke, the Spirit of the Lord began to show me and tell me that He had chosen this man and that His hand was on him. I wasn't sure to what extent that meant but the Lord began to put a burden for this man over the next few weeks and months as he battled against Hillary Clinton for the nomination of his party and then as he battled his opponent John McCain and the lies that have been spread about him. He also began to show me the reasons He had chosen this man, Barack Hussein Obama. On November 5, 2004, the Lord has spoke to me through a word He gave me that America had elected its last president and that the president they had chosen was a "Saul". I began to inquire of the Lord what that meant in the light of His choosing of this man Barack Obama. The Lord told me this man was a "David" and that He had chosen him because he has in him the heart of shepherd. His heart was for the poorest and the weakest of His people. The Spirit of the Lord showed me that this man has the heart of a shepherd, that he is willing to be spent for His sheep as well as a heart that is willing to hear and be taught. He also had chosen him because he represented a fatherless generation of people and because he represented what it meant to be of this world. He was neither black nor white, he was both. He represented everyone in this nation. His politics at this time were not important to the Lord, His heart to do what was right at the moment of truth will be the key. The Lord also showed me John McCain. I saw a man whose heart was first and foremost toward himself and his legacy. A man constantly pointing to the works of his hands and a man who did not have any intimate knowledge of the Lord. He had merely a religious mask posing as one who was spiritual. The Lord showed me that his name said everything about him. McCain means "son of Cain" I have heard and seen numerous supposedly religious or spiritual people say the Lord had told them that John McCain was supposed to win and that Barack Obama was either a Muslim or the "antichrist" and attempt to attach the Lord's name to their ramblings and vain imaginations and fears. These people have neither heard from the Lord nor do they represent Him. The Lord has chosen Barack Hussein Obama in this hour and He has rejected John McCain and the party that He represents. The Lord has begun to unleash His judgments on this nation and it will take a man who will put his confidence in the Lord to survive what is directly ahead. Hear the Word of the Lord to the next President of the United States of America So says the Lord to the one named "Blessed of God". I have chosen you and I have appointed you for this hour. It is I Yahweh who has gone before you and made the way straight. It is I who has put before you an open door. Now I ask you, Will you pass through? Will you enter in? Will you seek to hear My voice and do My will? For what is coming is greater than the learned minds that you have surrounded yourself with, will be able to comprehend. It is darker than any man made light can penetrate. I AM calling you to humble yourself before Me. For only in that humility will you survive what is at the doors of this nation. The financial shaking is just beginning, soon you will see greater tragedies than any generation before you and they will not be just in other places. I have foretold these things through My servants the prophets and My counsel is always in the mouths of My true servants. You must recognize them when I send them, for only in knowing My will, will people survive in the days ahead. Now I speak to those who have withstood My words and presumed to speak for Me regarding My servant. I shall put you in derision. For you have allowed your prejudices to skew your vision. You have allowed your "politics" to get in the way of My words. You have spoken lies regarding him because your hearts held onto fears rooted in prejudice. The truth is this, it is I, the Lord who has chosen this one called "Blessed of God" and it is I who has rejected the lies of those who love themselves more than they love Me. So says the Spirit of the Lord through His servant this day. Amen and Amen. I Saw the Coming American Revolution By Evangelist Bobby Martz of New Covenant Church in Hampton, Virginia, a missionary to the Philippines for 14 years. I was with Pastor Ray Brooks of The Open Way Church and Michael Sullivan. We were laying hands on each other, praying for each other. My mind was concerned with imparting strength to my brothers. All of a sudden I had a vision. It was so real, it was as if I was there. I saw a vision of a city in America. Many of the buildings were on fire. There was looting and rioting. There was a breakdown of law and order--no respect for law and order, thousands of people on the streets--burning, killing, looting. Sirens were blaring, ambulances carrying away the dead and wounded. I saw bystanders. They were pulling their hair. The Lord let me hear their thoughts. They were thinking, I cannot believe this is America! I cannot believe it has happened to us. The people were petrified with fear and confusion, not knowing what to do. There was so much fear, thinking, Where can we go to be safe? I saw these bat-looking creatures flying all around, coming out of these dark clouds. I believe these are demons attacking people. Isaiah 1 came to mind. I saw an eagle coming out of heaven, attacking these bat-looking creatures. I saw the whole earth. The sun was rising on the whole earth. I thought about the scripture about the Son rising with healing in his wings. When I came out of this vision, I was interceding and weeping for this country. I believe these things will come on America. index Vision of Leaders I saw another vision of leaders, those leading the church. I saw a person on the floor in deep agony. They were howling. They sounded like a fire siren. They were wailing and howling of their own condition and the condition of the church. The Lord let me see what this person was thinking. I saw one word over this person. The word was "COMPROMISE." This leader was thinking, as he was howling, How have I allowed these things to come into the church? How have I allowed these things to come into my own personal life? Wherein have I been so deceived as to have allowed all this to happen that breaks the heart of God? I feel trapped, this person thought. This person had this big question. How can we (the church) be delivered? How can I be delivered from the compromise? It was as if the person was feeling the dilemma of the church. How can the church come out of this dilemma of compromise? The person was in terrible agony and howling, lying on the floor. I feel that from the pulpit to the pew in the church there has been much compromise within the church. I personally believe the day is coming when there will be a real wave of the Holy Spirit and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit of conviction, especially in leaders. They will end up on the floor howling before God. index Victory in Jesus! In early 1984 I saw a church building. I saw the altar. People were at the front kneeling and praying. It looked like there was around 100 people praying. There was a group of them that stood out of anger and rebellion and said, "We don't have to pray like this! This is too demanding. This is too legalistic. We don't have to get into this type of praying." These people that were speaking against praying were found in the church kitchen, in the social area where they have social functions like potluck dinners. The Christians that were against praying were saying, "It's all right to pray a little, but we don't need to pray like that." (I want to make this clear. I am not against fellowship of God's people. It should not get in the way of serving God. When there is so much pleasure that it gets in the way of prayer, it is wrong.) These people in the social hall said among themselves. "This is what we want." What they were saying is, "We just want to have a good time." Where the church becomes a social club, doing social activities, things that would appeal to "self" and bring pleasure to one's own self, it is very selfish. They were doing this in rebellion against God's call to prayer. They were speaking out and saying, "This is what we really want." The next thing I saw was what looked like black arrows being released by black demonic spirits. These black demons come upon these people in their social function--within the church. These black demons started attacking these people. These people started grabbing their heads as these demons attacked. They started going crazy. They could not handle the demonic pressures and forces of these demonic powers in the last days! I had the sense that there would be those that would say they were Christians, born again, yet would be committed to mental institutions. They would go in for psychiatric care because they could not cope with what was coming upon the earth. Then the dream changed. The Lord took me back to those that continued in prayer. They were weeping. They were weeping for the whole earth, for all the nations. They were broken and weeping. I saw tremendous unity, tremendous love one for another. They understood one another. They understood one another's call. They understood one another's burden. There was real unity. There was no jealousy. They were not being competitive with one another. They were so focused with their burden for the world. Their focus was not on who am I or what is my position; their focus was a burden for the world. The dream changed. I could see the continents, the coastlines, the borders. I saw a giant tidal wave slowly moving over the earth. Every nation was being touched by this wave. I asked God, "What is this wave?" God spoke to my heart and said, "This is my Holy Spirit moving in these last days." The tidal wave was moving slowly but surely, a gradual buildup going over the earth. The dream changed. The Lord brought me back to the people that had been weeping before the Lord for the nations. I saw these people stand on their feet. They turned around. They were facing the world in terrible, terrible conditions. The darkness that was upon the earth was horrible, indescribable. It was terrifying; but these people that had been interceding and weeping, the amazing thing was, they were not afraid. They were not afraid of what they were looking at. They were not afraid of the terrible gross darkness. They were full of the Holy Spirit. They began to go forward as one, united. They began to speak the Word of God. The gospel was coming out of their mouths. They were speaking to the multitudes in darkness before them. I saw the Holy Spirit bringing multitudes and multitudes of people into the Kingdom of God in the last days. There were so many people coming to Jesus that I could not see the end. It was a huge, huge multitude of people coming into the Kingdom of God. The dream ended. - Bobby Martz America's Christians Lose Their Freedom Amos Scaggs - 11/16/10 In a vision, I saw the British soldiers with the tricorne hats and drab, abstract, black uniforms in an endless line coming against a militia of ordinary citizens, as we had during the Revolutionary war. The militia was in whitish trousers and tan shirts of that period. The table was light-colored with dark legs. They had several hard-fought battles. But in the face of an incoming force they could not defeat because of the sheer numbers, they pulled the plans off the table and rolled them up like a scroll to retreat with the few in number they had left. Those last few escaped without harm as the bullets were flying all around them. I thought, in the first Revolutionary war we won our freedom from tyrants but in this last struggle we lose it to them. It appears from this that the battle for America's independence (freedom) will be lost. There will be some hard battles and hard fighting but in the end the militias will have to retreat. They will be simply outgunned and outnumbered. Note from David: Many Christians will fight to gain their freedom from an America taken over by banksters and corporate fascism but they will fail because they are disobedient to the commands of God in this regard. In the time of the tribulations in history, when God sent the man-child to lead the people to freedom, they had become subjugate to the beast kingdoms that swallowed them up for their sins. America is being possessed by the beast nature from the pit for this purpose. In the time of Moses and that tribulation, the people of God had become slaves in Egypt. Only in Goshen was there light in the houses and deliverance from the plagues. In the time of Joseph and that tribulation, the people were at the mercy of the state, begging for food losing their property. In the time of Daniel, the people were conquered in tribulation and under the authority of ruthless dictators who took their lives at will. In the time of Mordecai, the people in tribulation were under the sentence of death by the beast and fighting for their lives. In the time of Jesus, the people were under the iron fist of the Roman beast tribulation, with no representation or rights of their own. Jesus told them to flee to the mountains -- above the world and its influence. History always repeats (Ecclesiastes 1:9; 3:15). In this time of the end-time man-child, in whom Jesus lives, a combination of all of the above will happen in tribulation. Christians have been just as rebellious as their predecessors and are in just as much need of crucifixion of self -- in just as much need of new leadership and old truths. Instead they have insulated themselves only in their minds with lies of dominion, prosperity, flying away, etc.) Civil War Is Coming Mary Dooley - 1/07/09 (David's notes in red) I had a dream in the first week of January. I believe it was the 7th. I was standing at a crossroads that was close to the beach, in that I could clearly see the open sky over the ocean in front of me. (I had asked God to tell me if I had any fruit before I went to sleep and had the dream and, at the crossroads where I was standing, I was next to a fruit stand. If I had to quantify the amount, I'd say it was 60% my height. I am going for the 100-fold.) To my right I could see that there was a battle in the air , as I could see the smoke from the jets . To my left, two planes that were unlike any I have ever seen (and I have seen quite a few since 1988, living on or near military bases) and they were speeding at low level toward the battle . I knew in the dream that they were Turkish. They were totally black. (Turkey fell out with Israel over the Gaza war and are pushing the 0bama administration to the left, if that's possible, concerning their support for Israel. They have also threatened Israel, if they move against the puppets of the Iranians. 0bama will align with his history and not Israel . The first nation to fall to the new Babylon one world order was Israel , which is also a type for Christianity.) Next, from the left again, something was coming in the air. It was something big and black, with black smoke coming out from it in all directions. As it got closer, I could see something orange on the nose of it. Then I realized it was a black airship or blimp , (notice both sides are in darkness)and the orange thing on the nose was a jack-o-lantern (Halloween, Oct. 31st, Babylon's "All Saints Day," when the Celts say the living are closest to the dead and the forces of darkness are at work), with the eyes, nose and mouth orange because the inside of the airship was on fire . As the airship passed in front of me, I saw that it was slowing down and being totally consumed internally , as the orange flames were destroying it quickly . It stopped in front of me and fell into the ocean . (There is a battle going on for the "air waves" before the physical battle. The left is floating ideas to, in effect, bring the Fairness Doctrine back under another form to shoot down the conservatives' command of the "air waves," which is about as weak as a blimp compared to what is coming. On a more natural level to follow this, blimps cannot compete with jets. They are clumsy, slow, lack power and are relics of the past for warfare. This spiritually describes the badly outmatched right-wing conservative Babylonish Christian movement that is rising up to "take the nation back" from the left wing that is in control of the military. This will be a dismal failure. Another 9/11 is coming, this time from the Left, and the blame will be put on the Right in part because so much proof is coming forward of the Bush administration's part in the first 9/11 that they will be blamed for this, too, by the 0bama administration and the left-wing media. The country is about to swing very far Left.) I felt like I should run to higher ground because the airship was so big , and I was so close that it might cause a big wave to hit me (this will bring great persecution to the Christians), so I ran upstairs into one of the nearby, rather short buildings behind me. (Christians will no doubt need to get to the High and Holy Ground of Scriptural foundation to escape this coming disaster from the division of America. The scriptures declare that militant Christians will lose this battle badly. Listen to U.S. Covenant & Civil War .) Now I knew I was on a Navy base, as I went up about one or two stories and an enlisted man in uniform was leaning back in his chair, with his hands behind his head, rather unconcerned . He was at the back end of what looked to be a small movie theatre, with the screen to my left. No one was in the room but the enlisted man who, from where he was sitting, would probably be the person running the projector. I told him what had happened and he said, "Yes, my father was on that airship "; I was surprised at how unmoved he was . (A younger left-wing generation that has rebelled against the conservative morals and constitutional respect of the fore father s will show no mercy or pity on them in the coming civil war. An antichrist spirit is sweeping the world, much like anti-Semitism during the Nazi era. A great backlash against the Christians will come from this. The Left will have complete control over the media, typed by the movie projector, to bring a worldwide persecution of Christianity. Read Sovereign God for rest and peace.) Next, I was outside at the crossroads again. Now I could see that there was a convoy, almost like a parade , coming home from the direction of the air battle . I got the impression they were victorious , as they did not even appear tired or dirty, more like inspection-ready. They were sitting in tiers, like bleachers , that were on top of some vehicle bringing them back to the base. They were in camouflage uniform, wearing dark glasses and holding flags . (These are hiding from the truth willfully; hiding from the Son, behind patriotism.)The flags were full size and easy to see, as each person had a flag , and held it stretched out in front of him. The flags were stiff, like posters , and they were held on each end. (The flags were stiff, cheap fakes of what the real flag that was blown by the wind stood for.) Now I could see that the flags were distinctly Confederate , and the convoy was taking the curve in the road to their left . There were only two choices at this intersection, curve sharply to the left , or sharply to the right. I did not see anyone going to the right . (The conservative/religious right will lose badly.The rebels against our forefathers' morality will win. The country will turn sharply to the left where the goats go in Jesus' parable. Like the Confederate rebels, their interest is to cast off any moral or constitutional restraint and keep black men, as a type of those who walk in darkness, or sinners, in bondage.) End of dream. On the 11th of January I was at work. A Christian patient was about to leave, when suddenly she remembered that her teenage daughter had a dream that night. She said an angel took her into the air , where there was a tremendous air battle going on , and it was so loud and disturbing that she covered her ears, and then the angel brought her back to her bed. She then woke her mom up to tell her and was crying because it was so disturbing, and she is only 16. I told her mom about my dream. About three days after this, I called my very good friend, Ellen. I told her that I had had a dream that I wanted to tell her. She stopped me and said she just had one, and so she told me her dream first. She said that she was caught in the middle of a war that was about to start . She said she was trying to find cover behind a house, and that the battle was about to begin , and she was trying to help a little girl find cover, too. I asked her what kind of battle -- as in modern, or something from the past. She said, "It's a revolutionary...no, it's a civil war ." I believe this Civil War will escalate from the war of words over the "air" waves to physical weapons some time soon. Here is an example of the rhetoric coming from the conservatives who say guns will be needed if they fail to return the country to conservative principles. Here is an obvious indication that conservatives in the military and police will refuse to obey orders and fight. Has it already started in the military ? If you as a Christian think God has called you to fight this government, you desperately need to read The Sword or the Cross? and listen to Honor the king? (1) , Honor the king? (2) and Honor the king? (3) . Many Christians are victims of neglecting their Bibles and their consciences. Remember, if a man's ways please the Lord, He makes his enemies to be at peace with him.

The young men were dressed in American Civil War uniforms and going off to war.The sister and I implored them not to go, telling them that this war would not be good and that brother would end up fighting brother . No one would heed our tearful pleas ; they just kept boarding the trains. I noticed that, in addition to each soldier carrying a rifle, they also had a small pack or tray of seedling vegetables , like you plant in your garden in the spring. I understood the part of the dream about civil war coming, but was puzzled over the seedling vegetable plants. I felt that somehow the plants represented in some way the disruption of food or crops because of the civil war, but after praying I also thought that they might indicate that the war would start in the spring. Perhaps this dream has some relevance to the events we see coming to pass now. Civil War in U.S. Kenneth R. Atnip, Sr. - 12/18/10 My 16-year-old daughter , Maryann , had a dream a few days ago. She dreamed of civili war against the current government . The scene was very chaotic and those in rebellion to the government were going house to house forcing any and all men to join with them. Many of us Christians were in hiding , not willing to join in a rebellion against the government . She awoke in the middle of the night with a strong taste of blood in her mouth. Her 13-year-old sister, Aimee, woke up as well and immediately asked her what was wrong. The 16-year-old said that she had the taste of blood in her mouth to which the 13-year-old asked, "Were you dreaming of war?" Somehow she knew that she was dreaming of war. Last November my three-year-old son, Jeremiah, slept with Mom and Dad. He awoke at 5:30 AM yelling, " War is coming ... people are dying ... people are crying to God ." He has no idea what these things are. It woke me out of a dead sleep and I sat up and looked at him. He was wide awake and started telling of hearing a noise: "pop, pop, pop," he kept repeating. All day he kept talking about big balloons coming and looking out the window. He said, "Maybe they won't come; maybe they will pop." DON'T FIGHT WITH THE GOVERNMENT The Sword or the Cross? David Eells Please be very patient with me and I will share something that just may save your physical and eternal life. If you are not willing to believe only what the scriptures say concerning your relationship to this evil world and its God-ordained plan in your life, don't waste your time reading this. (Excerpt from Hidden Manna For the End Times ) When Peter used the sword to keep Jesus from going to the cross, He said, "All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." Even though the true saints will not agree with much that is about to happen in this world, they will not take "the sword" of man and break their covenant with God as the apostates and their leadership will. God's plan for His people is demonstrated by Jesus. (Jn.12:23) And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. (24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die , it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit . (25) He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (26) If any man serve me, let him follow me ; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor. As Jesus was a seed sown in the dirt of this earth, so must we be. The wicked of this world are the dirt that puts to death the fleshly husk of the seed so that the inner life may come forth and bear fruit. As a lamb does not struggle with a wolf, the seed does not struggle with the dirt but permits it to fulfill its purpose. (Lk.10:3)... I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves . In God's plan wolves devour the flesh of the lambs. He uses the wicked to chasten His children. (2Sam.7:14) I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men , and with the stripes of the children of men . (2Cor.4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh . (16) Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. The glory of God will be manifested in those who will "resist not him that is evil" but will "turn the other cheek" and permit the dirt to do its job. No one else can drive the nails, friend. You are unable to do it and other Christians shouldn't do it. It is God's plan to use the harlot and the beast to crucify our old man. (Acts 2:23) im (Jesus) , being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God , ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay. (4:27) or of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, (28) to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass . Through death to self at their hands, the world will see Jesus in us and we will be enabled to fulfill the great commission. (1Pet.4:1) Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind ; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; (2) that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God . In the days when God's people were ruled over by the Roman beast it was written: (Rom.13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers : for there is no power but of God ; and the that be are ordained of God . (2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment . Though Christians are forbidden to take the mark and image of the beast, they are also forbidden to take up arms against secular nations over them. This puts the people of God in a position of weakness like Jesus when He submitted to His cross instead of fighting. (Note: Some falsely say that the U.S. is not typed in Scriptures. In Revelation, we see that Babylon is the Queen of the world, an end-time world superpower, a very rich nation that trades with the whole world. Both Revelation and Daniel say it is the head of all the nations and was called the "great eagle" in Ezekiel 17. Jeremiah 25 shows that it will bring destruction to the Middle East and then fall in what appears to be a nuclear attack from the nations. Revelation 18 says this will be in one hour of one day. Who, with common sense, would not see that this ancient eagle that was conquered by the bear is not a type of the U.S.?) Using Babylon and her king as a type of the U.S. and her President, God warned his people to submit to her as far as secular matters go. (Jer.27:5) I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto me. (6) And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon , my servant.... (7) And all the nations shall serve him .... (8) And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon , and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish , saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand . (9) But as for you (Christians) , hearken ye not to your prophets , nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon : (10) for they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish .... (12) And I spake to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live . (13) Why will ye die , thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon ? (14) And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon ; for they prophesy a lie unto you. (15) For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out , and that ye may perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. Fear this warning and do not listen to false prophets who come as patriots to stir up Christians to rebel against this country . Those who do, God will destroy by the hand of this government. In this way God will cleanse His body of those that refuse to obey and go to their cross. Here is a portion of a vision and prophecy through Chuck Youngbrandt: Those who are rebellious against God will rebel against the government, including the communist's fifth columnists we have here. Military troops will have to be called out as a result. Some will repent but many will continue in rebellion. God said 90% of the rebellious and disobedient church people will die during this time. Jesus said, "Love your enemies," not shoot them, and "turn the other cheek," not make war on them. That's what those concentration camps are for, friends. They are expecting and waiting for Christians to "take the sword." Our Lord said, "All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." I am certainly not excusing the government's actions in any of this but if David Koresh had not broken God's covenant and stored up that arsenal with the intent to use it against the government, he and his followers would still be alive. Bear witness that God did not defend them . God will bring the U.S. against His people and their apostate leaders because they have ignored His covenant. (Hos.8:1) the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant , and trespassed against my law. (2) They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee. (3) Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him . (4) They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. In the days of Jesus we see this same type in these days. The apostate people of God were in bondage to the Roman beast for their rebellion against the Word. These stiff-necked people of God were in constant revolution against the Romans and paying a great penalty for it. (Mk.15:6) Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. (7) And there was one called Barabbas , bound with them that had made insurrection (revolution) , men who in the insurrection had committed murder . (8) And the multitude went up and began to ask him as he was wont to do unto them. (9) And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? (10) For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. (11) But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. (Jn.18:40) They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber . Notice that Barabbas and many with him were in prison for making a revolution against the Romans. Jesus suffered in the place of this Jewish patriot . In like manner the true body of Christ will suffer innocently because of "Christian" patriots who will revolt against the U.S./U.N. beast. In another type, Barabbas was chosen out of all the Jews that were in prison with him to be released. Barabbas means "son of the father." Because Jesus went to the cross, a remnant of these people who truly are "sons of the Father" will be forgiven and saved. Militant patriots do not understand what the Holy Spirit showed in this text, that killing Romans or Americans is " murder " and that those who steal from them are " robbers ." Remember, God did not defend almost 1000 very religious patriots whom the Romans destroyed. In 66 A.D. when the Jews rebelled against the Romans, they captured this mountain 1000 meters above the Judean wilderness. In a well-supplied, seemingly impregnable fortress, the Jews attempted for seven years to hold out against the Roman beast. In a clear type, all but a remnant of seven committed suicide and brought an end to the worldly state of Israel. "Christian" rebels in our day will, in effect, commit suicide by fighting against the beast and bring an end to the worldly state of the Church. The Timothy McVeigh's of this world are not patriots in God's kingdom. The real heroes are those who leave worldly governments up to God and choose their cross over rebelling against His Word. Like Jesus, Paul gives us a type of how innocent Christians in our day will be falsely accused as rebels and imprisoned or killed. In Acts 21:38, a chief captain said to him, "Art thou not then the Egyptian , who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins ?" Notice once again that an Egyptian, representing the old carnal man, was leading Jews to kill Romans. The "Christians" who are led of the old man today will fight against the U.S./U.N. beast. God will not tolerate those who call themselves patriots in order to rebel against this government and His Word. (Rom.13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God.... (2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment . Jesus gave us permission to "flee" like sheep before the wolves, but not to fight in the flesh as wolves. (Mt.10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves : be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves . (23) But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come . Notice that this persecution will spread the Word through the cities of God's people and He will come. Praise His Name! While the carnal people of God were having their revolution against the government, Jesus and the disciples were having a spiritual revolution against them. Jesus said, "Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword (the Word) . For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man's foes they of his own household" (Mt.10:34-36) . Tertullus, speaking against Paul's revolution, said, "For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections (revolutions) among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes" (Acts 24:5) . Jesus and Paul's revolution was to use the Word to separate the chosen from the carnal church. Neither of them had anything to do with wrestling with a flesh and blood beast system. That was the harlot's revolution. We are to be patriots of the Lord's kingdom, not the U.S. Like Jesus, " My kingdom is not of this world ." Because they would not obey Jesus, the Jews were led by their deceiving leadership to their own destruction and that of their city in 70 A.D. This was also the cause of its destruction in other times. (Ezra 4:19) And I decreed, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings , and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein. (5:12) But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon . Every beast kingdom was raised up by God to chasten and bring into bondage and crucifixion His rebellious people and so it will be with the Babylon of our day. Our warfare is not with flesh and blood men but with the demon principalities and powers that rule them (Eph.6:12). (Mt.5:38) Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: (39) but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil : but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Jas.4:7)... resist the devil , and he will flee from you. Many will fight to keep from going into captivity but only God determines if one needs this for their maturing. (Rev.13:9) If any man hath an ear, let him hear. (10) If any man for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed . Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Only God gives authority to the beast to bring His people into bondage or death. M. Cox relates a dream he had concerning these principles. I had a dream so real that every time I think about it, it becomes more vivid just as if I was there. I was sleeping in our small farm house with a few other people one night. Sometime in the dead of the night all of a sudden I heard the thunderous boom of these military helicopters and airplanes. Then this helicopter landed right beside our house. All the occupants of our house were rounded up and taken away by the helicopter, probably to prison work farms. I was just standing there amazed, thinking these people never resisted , or tried to run away . And they all acted like I wasn't there . I thought that they had forgotten me. Soon after they left, another helicopter came. They were probably told that they had forgotten one of the occupants. I was naturally scared so I hid under the bed, shaking like a leaf with my legs sticking out. The soldiers didn't have any U.N. symbol but were probably a makeshift multi-national army. A black and a white soldier had yellow torches and M-16 machine guns with them. They were looking and thrashing everywhere trying to look for me. The black soldier was looking under the bed I was under. The funny thing was I was right in front of him with my feet sticking out but it appeared he couldn't see me. Suddenly, it dawned on me that I was invisible to the soldiers. They couldn't see me . After awhile, the soldiers left frustrated at not being able to find me. I must say that the fear and terror of the situation was unbelievable. A few days later this helicopter came and sprayed this chemical and the surrounding place turned all brown. They probably had been given orders to let no survivors that they couldn't find live. Anyway, even before they sprayed I noticed that the surrounding vegetation looked brownish, maybe from nuclear fallout. Miraculously, with all this happening I was still alive and the dream ended there. Notice that God's people did not resist and only those who needed captivity were taken. We should not put it beyond God's ability to supernaturally hide those who do not need more crucifixion. If He could translate me halfway around the world, He can certainly make us invisible to the enemy. Bob Aicardi also had a dream like this. I found myself cautiously walking the floors of a very large government building, which was occupied by foreign troops, and I knew that as an American I was not supposed to be there. I was noticed by a worker, who set off an intruder alert. Down the corridor the entrance doors slammed shut and locked. As I walked up to the doors they opened and I passed through to escape. Once outside, perimeter guards were alerted and were all about. I walked through them as invisible and saw another man doing the same thing. I said to him, "Isn't the blood of Jesus wonderful?" We see that not only can God protect those who are mature but He can also give rest to those who need to submit to their cross. (Jn.19:11) Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above . Like our Lord, we are to receive everything as from God and leave retaliation up to Him. (Rom.12:17) Render to no man evil for evil . Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men. (18) If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men . (19) Avenge not yourselves , beloved, but give place unto the wrath : for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me ; I will recompense, saith the Lord. (20) But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink : for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. (21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good . Our old man wants to live by defending self and retaliating, but our obedience to these commands crucifies that carnal nature in us. Satan seeks through well-meaning people to keep us from this cross. (Mt.16:21) From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed , and the third day be raised up. (22) And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee. (23) But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan : thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men . Notice that Peter, by the spirit of Satan was a stumbling block by trying to dissuade Jesus from going to His cross. Peter later took the sword, to try to enforce his way and again met with rebuke. (24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me . (25) For whosoever would save his life shall lose it : and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. Even when we are at our best, the hidden carnal nature must be crucified. (1Pet.2:20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted , ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer , ye shall take it patiently , this is acceptable with God. (21) For hereunto were ye called : because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example , that ye should follow his steps : (22) who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed to him that judgeth righteously. What could be clearer? We are to follow in Jesus' steps by cooperating with God's process of using the harlot religious system and the beast kingdom to bring us to the cross. We are not to resist them by force. The laws of our kingdom do not permit us to fight in the flesh to escape captivity. (Jn.18:36) Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world : if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews : but now is my kingdom not from hence. In the days leading up to a civil war in the midst of the One World Order, many will stand up against the U.S. as the king of the South. Included among these are some of God's people who will try to impose their vision of the kingdom of God in the U.S. by violent methods, but they will be killed. (Dan.11:14) And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall . God will not permit fleshly methods to have any success so that His people learn to walk in the Spirit. (12:7)... t shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of (self in) the holy people , all these things shall be finished. Notice that our temptation to use our own power must be crucified. (Zech.4:6)...Not by (our) might, nor by (our) power, but by my Spirit, saith Lord of hosts. War is of the world and is motivated by lust, not God. (Jas.4:1) Whence wars and whence fightings among you? not hence, of your pleasures that war in your members? (2) Ye lust , and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war ; ye have not, because ye ask not. Those who join with the world to make war on their enemies are enemies of the cross and of God. (4) Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God . Those who preach peace and safety, and refuse to cooperate with God in this process of falling to the earth to die will be cut off. (Amos 9:8) Behold, the eyes of the Lord are upon the sinful kingdom , and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord. (9) For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations , like as is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth . (10) All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword , who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us . We are coming to the same tribulation days of sifting as it was with Peter. (Lk.22:31) Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat : (32) but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not . Even though Peter initially denied the Lord, he got back up and became a strong leader who gave his old life. Satan is ordained of the Lord to sift the disciples to get the husk that is his, so that God may have the pure fruit of Christ. Here is a prophecy through Thomas S. Gibson that relates the persecution the U.S. will bring against Christianity to separate the true saints from the tares. Thus says the Lord, repent and listen to the Word of God. Note that there shall be persecutions arising in all places, throughout the U.S. and Canada, and through Europe . These nations shall rise up in persecutions against My people . It shall purge the Church. Those of Mine , that are truly Mine, who walk in power and are committed to Me, they shall stand in this persecution no matter what it brings . But listen to Me, and heed Me. For thus saith the Lord, I am God, and I am allowing this, for it shall purge My Church . For there are many that shall quickly deny Me , shall quickly deny the truth, quickly revert to a world religion , shall quickly deny the power of the Word; they deny the truth of the Word. They shall quickly deny many things, and they shall become politically correct for the day and the age that they live. For they do not want to be in persecutions and they do not want to stand against the world. They love the world, and they are part of the world, and they were never part of Me. But they have a form of Godliness in the Church, and they were in the Church, shining as Christians and looking as Christians in outward appearance, but in their heart they were not of Me. This shall purge the Church and bring to pass what I have said; I will separate the sheep from the goats ; that is, My people from the world. God is sovereign in the happenings of history in order to show us what will happen in the latter days, for, "That which hath been is that which shall be." In the time of the tribulation of Christ's day, Rome had swallowed up the people of God. Through Babylon's type we see that the U.S. will swallow up the people of God before her fall. (Jer.51:34) Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me , he hath crushed me , he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath, like a monster, swallowed me up , he hath filled his maw with my delicacies; he hath cast me out. (35) The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say ; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea , shall Jerusalem say. Because the U.S. will try to save herself by sacrificing God's lambs on the altar of religious unity and political correctness, God will take vengeance on her. (36) Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee ; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry. (37) And Babylon shall become heaps , a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant. ... (41) How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized ! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations ! (42) The sea (of men) is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. (43) Her cities are become a desolation.

THE MILITANT APOSTATES REBEL (excerpt from Hidden Manna For the End Times ) God is raising up this beast kingdom to crucify us as their forefathers crucified our Master. At the same time, the beast will purge Christianity of those who refuse to go to their cross of death to self. At first you may think I am wrong about this but if you will bear with me you will be overwhelmed with proof from God's Word. Christians constantly send me e-mails about the conspiracies of the government and the leaders. Most of this is "he said that she said" stuff with no real proof. Unsubstantiated accusations are just gossip and forbidden by God's Word. According to Law no one can be accused without two or three witnesses. Witnesses see and know personally. We shouldn't accept accusations against a government or person without witnesses, earthly or heavenly. The devil is being permitted by God to stir up conspiracy theories so that paranoid, disobedient Christians will fight this government and be destroyed. The Lord said to me, "Spirits of paranoia will stir up Christians to fight against this country. In this way I will cleanse my Church of those that refuse to obey and go to their cross." Conspiracy theorists are the prime spreaders of this paranoia. (Isa.8:11) For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, (12) Say ye not, A conspiracy , concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear , nor be in dread . (13) The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread . You ask, "But David, what about the Illuminati conspiracy that has taken over our government to bring war and the New World Order?" Fear "him who worketh all things after the counsel of His will" (Eph.1:11) . The Illuminati are nothing without God's permission. They and many others like them are sent by God to deceive those who do not love truth and to judge those who need it. Therefore, we are to permit them to cleanse the body. (2Thes.2:9) whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (10) and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth , that they might be saved. (11) And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie : (12) that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." he lowest of men" are raised up to lead the beast to crucify rebellious Christians. We need them. (Pr.16:4) The Lord hath made everything for its own end (Hebrew: His own purpose) ; Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Some say, "But I know some of these conspiracies are real." I do, too, but the flesh is stirred up to fight when we think on the conspiracies, rather than the promises and the way of the cross. We are taught to study Truth rather than the evil in conspiracies because Truth has power unto Godliness, which delivers from evil. (Rom.16:19)....I would have you wise unto that which is good , and simple unto that which is evil . Those who are taught to recognize counterfeit bills don't study counterfeits because there are too many possibilities. They study the real bills. That way they can recognize all counterfeits. The Word gives us eyes to see all errors. Some waste all their time studying evil governments. All secular governments are evil just as the one in Jesus' day but He stuck to the business of the Father, taught the Word, and let patriots like Barabbas fight with flesh and blood to their own destruction. I also know that this government will persecute and crucify the saints when the time comes. I say with Jesus, "Not my will, but thine be done" . If we are not willing to give up our carnal life in order to be obedient to the Word, then we will not be counted worthy of a heavenly life. Any who stir up God's people to take the sword will be guilty of their blood when they die by the sword, as the Word says will surely happen. Antichristian militant "Christians" will not stand for their rights being taken away and will fight against their governments. What do you think they will do when world law is imposed and the mark of the beast is inevitable? Civil war. States are seeing their Constitutional authority undermined by the socialistic moves of the Obama administration. Also, a litany of leftist, global U.N. treaties that were resisted by more conservative administrations are waiting in the wings to give sovereignty to the U.N. beast over families, women, children, opposing free trade, opposing democracy and Christian freedom, bringing intrusive emissions laws, etc. Obama is just the man to open the flood gates. Seeing these coming threats, conservatives in the states are flocking to introduce resolutions declaring State sovereignty as per the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution. This is an omen of coming division in the country. Conservatives, including many of God's people, have already considered armed rebellion against the U.S. government at least as far back as 2000. The Bush/Gore presidential voting fraud fiasco revealed the underlying dangerous polarization between conservatives and liberals. Radio talk shows were abuzz. Ammunition sales rose significantly as did talk of civil insurrection and state secession. Much of this was by conservatives. Congressman were openly warning of civil violence. Ammunition and gun sales began to get worse when the Obama team immediately took the country in a sharp left turn. Clearly, the fear of where we are going and the conspiracy theories are corrupting people's minds and taking away their peace. Whether you agree with their militant thinking or not, all Christians will be blamed for these excesses. The liberal news media will gladly continue to sway popular opinion against their historic enemy, the conservative Christians. Left wing "Christianity" will, of course, join in this attack proclaiming to be the true heirs of Christ, while they sleep with the beast in their politically-correct tolerance of other faiths. What happened to the Jews in WWII will happen to the Christians and, ultimately, what happened to Germany will happen to the U.S.. The U.S. will become more antichrist and increasingly hate, persecute, kill, and bring God's carnal people into bondage. Ezekiel, as a type of the Man-child, prophesied that the apostate leadership of God's people would be brought into bondage by the "great eagle" , as a type of the U.S. He also saw and warned that part of that leadership would lead part of God's people to rebel against the "great eagle" to their own destruction. (Ezk.17:2) Son of man...speak a parable unto the house of Israel; (3)...A great eagle with great wings ...came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: (God's people were likened in Scripture to the tall cedar evergreens of Lebanon because of their properties of eternal life.) (4) he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof (the immature leadership of Christianity) ,and carried it unto a land of traffic (Babylon/U.S.) ; he set it in a city of merchants (U.N. in New York) . The top recognized leadership of Christianity along with leadership of other religions will be given a position of authority as a corporate false prophet over the United Religions harlot. (5) He took also of the seed of the land (God's people) , and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters .... God's people will be put "beside many waters " , which are the peoples of the world depicted by the "many waters" that the harlot sits upon in Revelation 17:1,15. Therefore the people of God, righteous or apostate, will be put under the authority of the harlot as it was in Jesus' day. (6) And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature (the harlot cannot overcome to lift herself from the earth) , whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him : so it became a vine . The false prophet leadership of the harlot will rule with the ten kings as the little horn among the ten horns in the U.N. beast under the "great eagle" , the U.S. The Lord confirms this interpretation in the text. (12) Say now to the rebellious house... Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof , and brought them to him to Babylon . The nations with the U.S. "great eagle" at the head will confirm a covenant with this false prophet leadership of God's New Testament people, uniting them with the false religions in the U.N. in New York. (13) And he took of the seed royal , and made a covenant with him ; he also brought him under an oath , and took away the mighty of the land. Notice in these verses that the king and all of the princes of Israel were called "him" meaning they are a corporate False Prophet. This covenant will be hidden from the apostates and their leaders. They will fulfill the type of the Jews in Jesus' day, who didn't realize that they had made a covenant with the beast to crucify the saints. To keep the peace, the Roman beast gave the apostates authority over the saints. History repeats. The strong delusion of the letter of the Word has already convinced the false leadership of Christianity of a fairytale covenant between a man called the antichrist and the letter Jews. Meanwhile the real covenant will be fulfilled in the spirit under their noses. To them this could not be the covenant because they have not yet been raptured and their antichrist hasn't shown up. This covenant with the beast will make God's apostate people preach an even more impotent gospel, because it is a covenant of tolerance for all false religions and all sinners in a vain effort to bring peace to the world. (14) hat the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up , but that by keeping his covenant it might stand . The apostates will be permitted to stand in the world as the base kingdom of the religious harlot. We just saw the word "covenant" mentioned in verses thirteen and fourteen. It was at this point in my revelation that the Spirit said to me, "From the first mention of the word 'covenant' in verse thirteen count. How many verses does the word 'covenant' cover?" Thirteen is the number in Scripture that stands for apostasy and rebellion. Including verse thirteen, the word "covenant" covers seven verses (13-19). I was impressed that this represents the seven years of the covenant of the beast in the Tribulation . Then I heard, "How many times is the word 'covenant' spoken in those verses?" "Covenant" is mentioned six times in these seven verses. Six is the number of man and of the beast. As we saw, the six th book, six th chapter, six th verse and six th word of the New Testament is "man" ( Rom . 6 : 6 ). It was at this point the Spirit directed me to count, "How many verses before the "covenant" is broken?" In the "midst" of the fourth verse the words " covenant he brake " are spoken. (16) As I live, saith the Lord, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he (apostate leadership) brake , even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. This also is in the "midst of the seven" verses, which is a quote from the Hebrew in Daniel 9:27. "And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one seven : and in the midst of the seven (Hebrew) he (beast) shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease." Notice in these two verses that the apostate rebel leadership of God's people will break the covenant so the beast will cause the " sacrifice " to cease. At the time when the crowns of authority will be taken from the seven heads and given to the ten horns, the beast will make the mark compulsive. This will be a vain attempt to enforce peace by identifying those who are in covenant with the beast and those who are enemies and/or commit crimes. This will cause both true Christians and militants to be enemies of the state. The U.S. already has created the literal mark and is exporting it to the world. The U.S. will use their persuasion over the beast kingdom to make the mark compulsive in the midst of the Tribulation. Many apostate Christians will take it and become reprobated. What is left of their life of submitting their "bodies a living sacrifice , holy, acceptable to God" will cease as an "abomination that maketh desolate" . In this same text we see the nature of this rebellion which breaks the covenant of peace. (15) But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt , that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape ? This covenant is broken when the rebellious people of God, who were told by God to submit to Babylon, as we shall see, instead went to another "great eagle with great wings" , Egypt, for strength to fight with arms against her. (Ezk.17:7) There was also another great eagle with great wings and...this vine did bend its roots toward him . Notice that the same terminology is given to describe a second eagle. This is because both of these great eagles represent the U.S. Foolish Christians in the U.S. will go down to Egypt to fight with her when they see their rights being taken away or, for some, when they see the mark coming. What does Egypt represent? God's people came out of Egypt and were baptized in the Red Sea where the Egyptians, representing the old man, died. To go back to Egypt spiritually is to trust in the strength of the old man, the arm of the flesh. (Isa.30:1) Woe to the rebellious children , saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league , but not of my Spirit , that they may add sin to sin , (2) that set out to go down into Egypt , and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh , and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt ! (3) Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. Some of God's foolish people with a conservative patriotic faction of this nation will take up arms to fight against it. This pits the "great eagle" against the "great eagle" , or civil war. God asked the question in our seven verse text: "shall he break the covenant, and yet escape" (Ezk.17:15)? God's answer to this question is that these rebels will be crushed: (17) Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war.... (18) For he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant ; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet hath done all these things; he shall not escape.... (21) And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword , and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and ye shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it. When Peter used the sword to keep Jesus from going to the cross, He said, " ll they that take the sword shall perish with the sword" (Mt.26:52) . Even though the true saints will not obey the religious aspects of this peace covenant, they will not take "the sword" of man and break their covenant with God as the apostates and their leadership will. The last of the seven verses says this. (19) Therefore thus saith the Lord: As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken , I will even bring it upon his own head. The righteous will keep God's covenant even if it costs them their physical life but the self-willed will rebel. After bringing apostate Israel as a type of the Christians under his dominion in the beginning of what we would call the tribulation, Nebuchadnezzar appointed the Zedekiah administration to rule over them. This is the "he" above who rebelled with a large portion of Israel. Jeremiah, who represented the Man-child, prophesied against these apostate rebels in the parable of the two baskets of figs. (Jer.24:8) And as the bad figs , which cannot be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt , (9) I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. (10) And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them , till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers. On the other, hand those who submitted to the Word of the Lord through the Man-child Jeremiah were the blessed of the Lord. (24:4) And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, (5) Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Like these good figs , so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good . (Notice that this captivity is going to be "for good" to the "good figs" who obey the Word and refuse to rebel.) (6) For I will set mine eyes upon them for good , and I will bring them again to this land (Notice Father will bring them to the New Jerusalem and land because Nebuchadnezzar had destroyed the former apostate Jerusalem and land.) : and I will build them , and not pull them down; and I will plant them , and not pluck them up. (7) And I will give them a heart to know me , that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people , and I will be their God; for they shall return unto me with their whole heart . All we have to do is replace the church in the Ezekiel 17 parable of civil rebellion above with natural Israel and we see another more natural interpretation, which is being attempted now. The U.S., which is at the head of the nations, is pushing Israel hard to give up land and make a covenant with the nations around them. Israel's natural ally in the United States is the apostate Christians and Jews who militantly support her. Since this ultimately will be a political and religious covenant both of these interpretations are coming to pass at the same time. It is certainly true that the beast is forcing both Israel and the Christians to give up their land now. Beastly laws are forcing Christians out of the moral ground that they have held on issues such as abortion, sexuality, schooling, displays of Christian heritage, etc. In the U.S., this holy ground has been held since the more Christian times of the founding fathers. Eventually Israel and the apostate Christians will rebel against this covenant and turn to the militant arm of flesh represented by the great eagle of Egypt. Then they will both find themselves a burdensome stone that have something in common; the ire of the nations. Perhaps this is God's plan to infuse more Christian influence into Israel so that the elect among them will be saved and come out. America Is Being Conquered By Communism Garrett Crawford - 6/14/09 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I recall being somewhere in the western region of the U.S. I was in the home of a man who was loading up guns and stocking up on ammo. He was worried about protecting his home and property. Something was about to happen , though I am not sure what, but even the most undiscerning person could feel it in the air; we were on the verge of great lawlessness . The man, I thought, was taking the wrong approach in his preparation and he ridiculed me for not taking up arms. (Militant patriots are getting ready to fight to "take the country back" from the liberal communists who are destroying the Constitution and laws from within.) After this scene, I was in the eastern part of the nation. I quickly realized that I was in Washington, D.C. I was standing and looking at the White House. I saw that it set in a peculiar position, which was with the back of the building facing a body of water . (The head of Babylon that is sitting on many waters?) I saw the Americans doing something in the water and, as I continued watching, many submerged vessels appeared on the surface of the water. These vessels were not American; they were Russian and they quickly moved ashore. This is where I saw many soldiers run up the shore and proceed to enter the back of the White House. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of these men overtaking the building. (Yes, the waters behind the White House represent the peoples ruled by it. Out of these waters have arisen the leftists who have taken the White House. These are ruled by the same principalities that ruled the Russian socialists/communists. It is a spiritual war. The right wing went down in flames -- losing the propaganda war before the coming physical war. A few years ago, we received a dream that the Statue of Liberty was shot at with missiles from a Russian sub and was cut in half, as the country is now. The top half, containing the head or government, then fell to the LEFT and into the water. At that time, I said this represented the coming of a left-wing government. This has only begun. Even though public sentiment is swinging back toward the right, there could come a stunning reversal of this trend that will bring great persecution to Christians. The something that was about to happen in the first paragraph above could be the scenario below.) The White House was quickly overrun and taken over by this force. The next thing I recall is that I was underground , beneath the White House itself. What I found was breathtaking; there was an extensive tunnel system underneath the structure. I saw a few Americans resisting but, ultimately, being overcome by multitudes of Russians. The invading force used the weapons systems that were stored down there against the Americans and quickly overcame them . (The underground, liberal, communist left is now taking over America by using its own political weapons against it. One of the weapons the right used to partially turn the country right was a false flag attack ; now it appears from this and other revelations, like below, that the left will use this method to turn the government left. See The Eagle and the Serpents and Civil War Is Coming .) This whole scene reminded me of a colony of enemy ants invading another colony and overtaking it. After seeing all that I had seen, my heart sank . I said within myself, "The whole country must be under attack! America has fallen!" (Could this be Babylon spiritually falling at the beginning of the tribulation?) (Yes.) But then a word from the Lord was given to me: "The goal of this operation is to weaken the country first; then, once weakened, America will be susceptible to a wave of Muslim terrorist attacks that will come later." (Speaking of Babylon physically falling in the years to follow.) Just as quick as before, I was ushered off into the heavens. As I looked down, I saw what seemed to be military installations. I saw missile silos somewhere in the country; then I found myself looking down at the Pentagon. I realized that everything I was looking at was still in the hands of the Americans . I had thought the whole country was taken over but the military infrastructure was uncompromised . (This made me think, even more, that the White House invasion spiritual.) (Yes, this is an ideological attack by the reds, a symbol of communists but also one of sinners, as in Isa.1:18.) My body was quickly translated from the heavens to the Pentagon below. I found myself in the presence of a very high-ranking general. I quickly alerted him that there was a Russian siege on the White House: everything was lost and it was a total takeover. I was taken aback by his response. Although he did confirm to me that he and the other generals were well aware of the invasion , they were confident that the invasion would be contained to only the White House . It seemed to me they had taken steps to insure that the invasion would not spread but I was not as confident as him. (I saw the Pentagon and missile silos and they were not breeched and the general took confidence in that, but look at it like this, friends: The pentagon represents the muscles of the nation, the arm of flesh. No matter how strong a man, if he loses his head, then his muscles are good for nothing; they cannot save him.) (Although it is true the U.S. military is still full of right-wing people and not nearly as leftist/communist as the government, this may also be speaking of something spiritual. The other militant group that, from within, invaded the White House stands opposed to the right-wing militants who now have no access to the White House but falsely think they can still keep the country from being completely ideologically taken over.) If the communist-Russian invasion in the White House was not altogether physical, rather spiritual, then those without spiritual eyes cannot see the truth; or they underestimate the growing danger, due to their blindness. (Pro.22:3) A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it. It could be that the invading Russians represent communist ideology . The generals may realize that the White House has become socialist but they remain confident that the military might of the nation will be able to detour any takeover . I was in deep thought about the dream for hours after I had it and then I asked the Lord what it means. But all I was getting was the word " infiltration ." This word came to me many times over the course of the day. This is the excerpt from a JFK speech about the NWO, which he warned was a growing threat 40 years ago: For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence -- on infiltration instead of invasion , on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. (Before the physical invasion comes the spiritual one will, according to Revelation 18. Before the physical fall of any nation comes the spiritual fall.) An angel to Dumitru Duduman said, "The Russian spies have discovered where the most powerful nuclear missiles are in America. It will start with the world calling for 'peace, peace.' Then there will be an internal revolution in America, started by the Communists . (The liberal one-worlders.) Some of the people will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy with internal problems. Then, from the oceans, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Central America, Mexico, and two other countries (which I cannot remember) will attack! The Russians will bombard the nuclear missile silos in America. America will burn."

(Ican't say where I was exactly, but I was close enough to my house that I could run to it. I live in Alberta, Canada.) (Those who are resting in the safety of the Lord.) It was a beautiful, cool and fresh day, like a fall day,when I heard people screaming that bears were coming. Something terrible had just happened suddenly (another 9/11 from the left). (Bears could represent Russia as communism, socialism, or an attack of our freedoms as we know them. It could represent a greater economic collapse -- bear representing the bear market. It could also represent a sudden physical attack like a nuclear bomb or something. Whatever it was, I sensed that it was something very big that had JUST HAPPENED and was affecting everyone .) (I believe the bear attacks represent all of the above calamities another 9/11 coming upon the U.S. and Canada because they are turning to the beast principality that ruled Russia/USSR under Communism, instead of God. Most Russians agree that this brought failure to their country's economy, totalitarianism, loss of freedom and many lives. This appears to be a confirmation of Garrett's dream above.) People were panicking and were so afraid that they were running everywhere , not knowing where to turn . (The terrible calamities Jesus said would come are now here and will continue to increase. Those who called us crazy and said we were all a bunch of "conspiracy nuts and bible-thumping fanatics" will be running like scared cats with no place of refuge, no hope. The world will be in shock at what is happening.) I did not run. I was confronted with a bear but believed he could not hurt me because I was under God's protection . All the time he was in front of me trying to attack me, I kept thanking God for His protection . (The true remnant of Christ will be at peace when this big calamity strikes , knowing that He has everything under control. The remnant will be resting in God, trusting Him, trusting in His Word. Those who are expecting the man-child, who know they will be here for the tribulation period, yet protected under His wings , those who believe His Word and stand on His Word will be at peace, even though the world around them is turned upside down. They will not fear. They will experience Psalm 91.) When I took a good look at him, he looked like a big teddy bear. Then he finally left. (We have the authority of Christ. He has been preparing His remnant to be overcomers, to stand on His Word and soon we will be put to the test.) Once he was gone, I ran home to check up on my husband. When I got in the house, I saw my husband sitting down on a chair, talking on the phone . His face was bleeding. He was covered in blood. He looked so distraught. (Concerned for their loved ones, the remnant will go to them and will see that because of these terrible calamities, many believers who had become cold toward God will now be calling on Him for help. The people we have been praying for (family, friends, neighbors) will finally get a sudden realization that they must get in touch with God quickly and get right with Him, if they want His protection.) Somehow I knew he had not been attacked by a bear, but by thugs. (I realized that two things were going on: regular attacks by "thugs" which seemed to have been going on for some time, by the comment that I heard later on in the dream, and now this new terrible thing that had just happened.) I then went downstairs, where some members of my husband's family were. I believe I saw his father, who has been deceased for some time. He was also covered in blood. Then I heard someone say, "How much more of this can we take?" (Those who have some knowledge of God but do not have a relationship with Christ, those who are spiritually dead will become discouraged, for there will be no hope, no escape, no refuge, only turmoil for them, unless they turn to God.) Then I woke up. Russians Behind Civil War in U.S. Cheri Watson - 2/03/08 I had a dream this morning about 6:00 am. I saw the Statue of Liberty; one side of the statue was black and the other side was white. (In the dream I said that the left side was black and the right side was white; however, some time after the dream I realized that it was the right side that was black and the left side that was white.) I knew what The Lord was showing me was division and the civil war coming to America. Anyway, in front of the statue, was a tank in the shadows with the cannon facing the statue. I knew the tank in the shadows to be Russia running the show behind the scenes and provoking the Middle East to do its bidding. I also believe it has to do with the Christians -- so far as the coming revival and falling away. I also felt that all of these things would do MUCH destruction to our country and that Russia is waiting in the wings/shadows till it's time to make their move. I have no doubt the Russians are fueling fires even now. Note from David: The Statue of Liberty represents America and its liberties. This division of black and white is somewhat racial, like in the Civil War. Also, it is that the left are the Communists and Democrats and the right are Republicans and Christians. Cheri started thinking the Left were the guys in black (bad guys) but ended up seeing that the Right was also guilty. This is covertly started by the Russians to weaken America, so they could militarily conquer her. Cultivating division in order to conquer is something both sides have been good at. I love it when The Lord does this... later in the morning, and every Sunday morning, several of us gather to listen to one of your teachings. This morning's teaching just happened to be Hidden Manna's - "U.S. Covenant, Civil War"!!! God is good! Anyway, David, I felt that this was confirmation for you for some reason and felt I was to share it with you today. Conspiracy Against Christianity Brent Gearhart -10/23/09 (David's notes in red) I dreamed on day four of a fast that I sawa man running naked with just a robe on barely covering him. (The false Christian leadership has not "put on the Lord Jesus." They name "Christ" as Savior but they are not living salvation. Their works do not cover them. They will be cast into great tribulation, as Jezebel -- Revelation 2:20-23.) Then I saw a woman running behind him with a scanty outfit on that was black , as they were running to make an appointment somewhere. (The typical church pastor followed by the people. The woman is the harlot church in darkness following its leadership. Babylon's nakedness will be made known to all the world, as the Word says.) Then, I saw the same man and woman dressed up in formal dress but they had disguises on now to appear older and distinguished . (Outwardly, they seem respectable in formal, black and white attire, but they profess the "light" while walking in spiritual darkness. They are white-washed sepulchers full of dead men's bones.) They were trying to enter a formal party of some sort but for some reasonthe invitation they had was fake . (The formal "party" is a the Marriage Feast where they have disguised themselves as "Christian." Even those who do not have the real wedding garment.) {Mat.22:8} Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy . ) When they approached the person who collected the invitations, the man started saying something to distract the ticket collector so they wouldn't pay attention to their fake invitation . It worked; they were granted admittance to the party. (Christian pretenders talk the talk in order to gain respect and acceptance. They have experienced only the fake calling, meaning invitation -- accept Jesus as your personal savior-type "invitations," instead of the command to repent and believe. But this lukewarm Christianity is not dressing up for the tribulation seven-day Wedding Feast. {Mat.22:11} But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment: {12} and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment ? And he was speechless. {13} Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.) (Note: It seems this is turning into the right-wing digging for dirt on the left-wing White House. This lukewarm spirit in Christianity above has bred many who seek change by political warfare instead of spiritual warfare.) When inside, I remember watching them split up right away and it seemed like the man was looking for some information -- some files, perhaps, or some film from a camera. (They have no interest in the Feast but are conspiracy-chasers of the left-wing government, like many apostates.) I remember seeing a little key like to a padlock or handcuffs. (Instead of seeking the key to freedom, they find only captivity.) I then saw them in the basement and I saw the man got caught and was about to be killed perhaps by the owner of the house . (Possibly a plot that will bring this captivity is being hatched by the elites through this administration to bring disrepute to Christianity.) As they were down in the basement , the owner of the house took back what the first man had stolen and then planted a bomb in the utility room . (This administration has lost much to the politically-minded, conservative Christians but the blame put on them for the judgment of America will take back the ground lost. An apparent attack on the left-wing may actually be an attack on the right-wing.) Then he tried to blame it on the first man who got caught . (Called a "false flag" operation. The owner sets off the thing and blames the Christians.) Right after the bomb went off, security came in.(Martial law.) I saw my friend , Terry , from the UPC (he knows martial arts) and he was taking the man down who was being blamed for this false terrorist attack. (Possibly, Terry represents Christians under martial lawbetraying other Christians, bringing great persecution to the church.) I remember seeing Terry take this man down with an arm lock of some sort actually; he had one arm spread out and he had the other arm locked in with his legs and it appeared the man who got caught looked like he was in a crucifixion position . (The apostates have always been used by Satan and the beast system to crucify true Christianity.) The man who got caught was looking at me to help him. I said, "Hey, I am staying out of it" and I remember picking up some of the pieces of the room that were torn apart. (The true Christians will have nothing to do with patriotic, political, militant Christianity but will do what they can to repair the damage to the reputation of true Christianity. A bomb will go off and the blame will be put on "Christians" who will be "crucified" by the Law and false-professing Christians.) End of dream Then a vision and prophecy began Then I laid back down and I saw myself in a field, harvesting the crop.I felt impressed to go get my notebook and pen and write down what I saw or heard, as I am reaping the crop. I see a man come and talk me into stopping the harvesting and taking a break. I see myself taking a break and eating, drinking and dancing with others. I then saw the laborers taken up by the Son of man as He came on the clouds for them. I saw the others get put into a winepress and squeezed. I heard, "This is the day of the Lord, the great and terrible day of the Lord." I was asked which group I wanted to be in and I said, "The laborers." He said, "Then you must die to self without complaining like you were today. There will be many days you will work more than 12 hours and have little time for your family. These days are coming soon." Thus saith the Lord, "You are being called into the harvest field. Your Nintendo Wii is not important; you must bear fruit 30-,60-,100-fold. No murmurers or complainers will make it through the wilderness. Stay out of those negative conversations; spirits are transferred there. Be wise, vigilant; the devil wants to sift you as he did Peter. (During this time I heard the song, "How He Loves Us" by David Crowder and then the song switched to "Lose This Life" by Tait.) You must lose your life to self, stick with the unleavened bread; don't let the devil separate you from them. Be patient and kind with your wife; she has gifts that the body will need and use. Be wise in all things. I love you. Try hard to join the marriage feast; join, Brent. Join." Then it ended. Secret Attack By Russia and China Mike Griffith On the 13th of August 2005 the Lord revealed to me something is going to happen. When I went to bed that night I had a startling vision. I found myself in a huge under sea cavern somewhere. It was a huge under ground navy base of some kind. I saw an array of battleships and submarines all lined up against a dock; then I heard a demonic voice thunder in the darkness that said, "NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW!" I knew that the voice I heard was a principality or strong man that was controlling the warships. At its command they began to slowly move out of the dark under ground base and move down a sea tunnel to an exit. I ran out of the base some how just to sea the ships spew out of these sea doors into the ocean. I looked and saw that the base was built under a mountain that slopes into the sea like a fiord inlet. The Lord caused me to hover in the air over the base and I saw a large red symbol on it. But for some reason I wasn't allowed to see it clearly. I hid from sight and a large group of trucks and troops moved passed me. I was scared because I was hiding behind a shrub not even big enough to hide a cat but they could not see me. I heard some of the troops talking about an American singer called 50 Cent. I knew then that this was going to happen soon. The impression that I got from the dream is that nations are preparing an attack on another nation that is completely undetected. And the spearhead of the attack is by naval power. I believe the countries are Russia and China, and they are planning to attack America very soon. A supernatural force is preparing them for the attack; it is an evil fallen angel. I went on the Net after I had this dream and saw that the Russian and Chinese navies were having war games together and it was the largest in modern history using 10,000 troops, warships, tactical bomber and amphibious landing craft. They called it Operation Peace 2005 but they are practicing for an invasion. (Note: Mike thought he may have been given a date for this which came and passed but this confirmation of this place is a fact that was independently shown to Rip.) http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=700_1366847621 Vegas Street Prophet PREDICTORS OF OBAMA'S ASSASSINATION Barack Hussein Obama, future assassination, US President, Obama Administration, White House, prophecy Sat, 20 Apr 2013 12:46:42 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bcf_1366475362 Vegas Street Prophet ALL ABOUT THE MINOT AFB NUCLEAR WEAPONS MISHANDLING INDICENT https://anonfiles.com/file/22d01053fbc513f4c25ed6055b320630 THE MISSING B-52 2007 A US Air Force B-52 bomber. The US military said on Wednesday it was investigating an alarming security lapse when a B-52 bomber flew the length of the country last week loaded with six nuclear-armed cruise missiles The missiles were mounted on the wings of a B-52 bomber compiled by Dee Finney http://www.military.cz/usa/air/in_service/aircraft/b52/b52.jpg The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic jet strategic bomber flown by the United States Air Force (USAF) since 1955. The B-52 replaced the Convair B-36 and the Boeing B-47 . Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War era deterrence missions, it has dropped only conventional munitions in actual combat. The aircraft has the longest unrefuelled range of any bomber and carries up to 70,000 pounds of weapons. The USAF has had B-52s in active service since 1955 with the Strategic Air Command which was absorbed into the Air Combat Command in 1991. Its superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept the B-52 in service despite proposals to replace it with the Mach 3 XB-70 Valkyrie , supersonic B-1B Lancer , and stealth B-2 Spirit . In January 2005, it became the second aircraft, after the English Electric Canberra , to mark 50 years of continuous service with its original primary operator. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-52_Stratofortress for more B-52 carried nuclear missiles over US by mistake: military Sep 5, 2007 WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US military said on Wednesday it was investigating an alarming security lapse when a B-52 bomber flew the length of the country last week loaded with six nuclear-armed cruise missiles. The blunder was reported to President George W. Bush after the nuclear warheads were discovered when the aircraft landed at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, a military official said on condition of anonymity. An air force official, who also asked to remain unnamed, said the B-52, which originated at Minot Air Base in North Dakota, had six cruise missiles with nuclear warheads loaded on pylons under its wings. The US Air Force has relieved the munition squadron commander at Minot Air Base in North Dakota of his duties, and launched an investigation into the August 30 incident, a Pentagon spokesman said. "At no time was there a threat to public safety," said Lieutenant Colonel Ed Thomas. "It is important to note that munitions were safe, secure and under military control at all times." The Pentagon would not provide details, citing secrecy rules, but an expert said the incident was unprecedented, and pointed to a disturbing lapse in the air force's command and control system. "It seems so fantastic that so many points, checks can dysfunction," he said Hans Kristensen, an expert on US nuclear forces. " We have so many points and checks specifically so we don't have these kinds of incidents," he said. US lawmakers expressed outrage at the incident. "It is absolutely inexcusable that the Air Force lost track of these five nuclear warheads, even for a short period of time," Representative Edward Markey, a Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said in a statement. "Nothing like this has ever been reported before and we have been assured for decades that it was impossible," said Markey. Two Republican lawmakers on committees overseeing military affairs, Jim Saxton and Terry Everett, said in a joint statement they were "deeply concerned" by the incident and said the United States must "ensure our nuclear assets are protected by the highest safeguards." The breach originally was reported by the Military Times newspaper Wednesday and was confirmed by the Pentagon later in the day. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates was notified early Friday of the incident by Air Force chief of staff General Michael "Buzz" Moseley, Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said. "I can also tell you that it was important enough that President Bush was notified of it," Morrell said. Gates has received daily briefings from Moseley on the incident, and expects a report by the end of next week, he said. "The munitions squadron commander has been relieved of his duties, and final action is pending the outcome of the investigation," he said. " In addition, other airmen were decertified from their duties involving munitions." Kristensen said he knew of no other publicly acknowledged case of live nuclear weapons being flown on bombers since the late 1960s. The nuclear weapons expert said the air force keeps a computerized command and control system that traces any movement of a nuclear weapon so that they have a complete picture of where they are at any given time. He said there would be checks and detailed procedures at various points from the time they are moved out of bunkers until they are loaded onto planes, and flown away. "That's perhaps what is most worrisome about this particular incident -- that apparently an individual who had command authority about moving these weapons around decided to do so," he said. "It's a command and control issue and it's one that calls into question the system, because if one individual can do that who knows what can happen," he said. Nuclear weapons are normally transferred on cargo planes, never on the wings of bombers, Kristensen said. Bomber flights with live nuclear weapons ended in the late 1960s after accidents in Spain in 1966 and in Greenland in 1968. The weapons were among 400 advanced cruise missiles that the Defense Department quietly decided to retire in March over the course of this year. The advanced cruise missile is a stealthy, longer range version of the air launched cruise missile first deployed in the early 1980s. It carries W-80 warheads of up to 150 kilotons, ten times the destructive force of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima at the end of World War Two. Oops! Were those nuclear warheads on my B-52 bomber? By Staff September 5, 2007 (AXcess News) Houston - A U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber took off from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota on a flight to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana on August 30, which was not out of the ordinary. But what was extraordinary was that it was carrying five nuclear warheads, which the military says was a mistake, or was it? The B-52 was carrying Advanced Cruise Missiles (ACM) which normally carries a W80-1 nuclear warhead with a yield of 5 to 150 kilotons. The ACMs were supposed to have had the nuclear warheads removed before they were transported to Louisiana. B-52 bombers normally deliver the ACMs when they are equipped with nuclear warheads, but these were a part of 400 missiles which were being decommissioned and the nuclear warheads were not supposed to be attached. Oops! An Air Force investigation is said to have been launched to find out how nuclear warheads could have been attached to the B-52 bombers wings for transport and no one notice them missing for nearly four hours. A former Defense Department specialist who worked on nuclear weapons said no one was ever in danger had the bomber crashed as safeguards are installed that make the nuclear detonation impossible unless specifically triggered to do so. Questions arise over whether B-52 bomber flights are being prepared for long-range flights that might include carrying nuclear warheads after Russia began its own long-range bomber flights after the U.S. said it would not back off the installation of missile sites near the border of Russia, insisting that they were for protection against Iran and other renegade countries in the Middle East. The tit-for-tat military developments have been escalating between Russia and the United States that critics say look more like the start of another Cold War. To the North, Russia has claimed sovereignty over a vast area of the Artic seabed, claiming its part of the continental shelf extending out fro Russia's shoreline and Canada and the U.S. have both increased military presence in the Artic to protect the passage way. Washington, Sept. 5 , 2007 - (Xinhua) -- U.S. Defense Department official confirmed Wednesday that a B-52 bomber had been mistakenly loaded with nuclear weapons and flown over American sky. Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell tried to appease the country by saying "at no time was the public in danger." President George W. Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have been already informed of the incident and ordered a probe into it. Earlier Wednesday, media reports, citing an unidentified Pentagon source, said that a B-52 bomber was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads and flown over three hours across several states. The plane, loaded with Advanced Cruise Missiles, took off on Aug. 30 from North Dakota and headed to Louisiana. The incident resulted in a comprehensive procedure review by Air Force and the dismissal of a commander, the reports said. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Ike Skelton described the weapon mishandling "deeply disturbing" and called for more details to ensure that Defense Department would address it appropriately. "There is no more serious issue than the security and proper handling of nuclear weapons," the Democratic said in a Wednesday's statement. September 7, 2007 Questions Remain Over Nuclear-Armed B-52 Over Midwest by Wayne Madsen http://www.opednews.com The reported "loss" of six nuclear-armed stealthy advance cruise missiles (ACMs) flown on the wing pylons of a B-52 from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana on August 30 would represent a complete and unprecedented breakdown in the command and control of nuclear weapons in the United States. For that reason, there is a belief among many seasoned military experts that there is much more to this reported story than meets the eye. The Defense Department is merely describing the nuclear missile flight as an "incident," because it is standard Pentagon policy to not comment on its nuclear weapons. However, the "incident" was serious enough that President Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were both immediately informed of the so-called "mistake" in flying the weapons across several Midwestern states. Missouri Representative Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, called the incident "deeply disturbing." The incident was first reported by three military officers, who remained anonymous, to Military Times , a newspaper that maintains good contacts within the military services. The ACMs were armed with six W80-Mod 1 nuclear weapons, which pack a punch of between 5 and 150 kilotons each. There is informed speculation that the movement of the nuclear weapons to Barksdale was leaked because the air force base is a staging area for deployment to the Middle East. The Pentagon recently drew up plans to hit 1200 targets inside Iran in a massive bombardment campaign aimed at destroying its military and overthrowing its government. The movement of the nuclear weapons may have been an alert to the public by disgruntled members of the military that such plans would include the pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons. The report that the weapons were transferred to Barksdale for "decommissioning" appears to be a cover story concocted by Pentagon spinmeisters, since any movement of nuclear weapons is treated as highly-classified information. The B-52 sat on a runway at Barksdale for a full 10 hours with the Air Force trying to have the public believe that no one noticed the nuclear missiles on board. The flight from Minot was three and a half hours. The only casualty: the munitions officer at Minot was relieved of his duties pending the outcome of an investigation. There is also speculation that the war hawks in the administration may have flown the nuclear cruise missiles to Louisiana to send a message to Iran. The Defense Department remains a beehive of neocon activity even with Gates in charge. Three other recent incidents indicate the neocons are still employing their perception management campaigns. Cells of so-called "Al Qaeda" terrorists have been arrested in Denmark and Germany. Both countries have neocons embedded in their governments. Those arrested include Danish and German nationals. In addition, the recent weapons of mass destruction "scare" at a United Nations office building in New York, where "phosgene" gas seized in Iraq after Desert Storm was reportedly found in a vial, turns out to have been a hoax. The substance was a non-toxic cleaning solvent. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has named a number of neocons to senior staff positions within the UN Secretariat. http://www.waynemadsenreport.com For more, visit Wayne Madsen Report , which its publisher, Wayne Madsen, keeps refreshed with more news than any one reporter has a right to.

US B-52 in nuclear cargo blunder investigation after a B 52 bomber flew across the US last week mistakenly loaded with nuclear-armed missiles. It follows reports in the Army Times that five missiles were unaccounted for during the three-hour flight from North Dakota to Louisiana. The air force said the cruise missiles were safe at all times. Army Times said the missiles were to be decommissioned but were mistakenly mounted on the bomber's wings. The W80-1 warhead has a yield of five to 150 kilotons, the paper said. 'Decertified' The flight took place on 30 August, from the Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to the Barksdale Air Force Base, near Bossier City, in Louisiana. Air force spokesman Lt Col Ed Thomas said although this was an "isolated incident", Air Combat Command had directed a "command- wide stand down to review process at all of our bases". Col Thomas said a general had been appointed to investigate the incident and would report by 14 September. "At no time was there a threat to public safety. It is important to note that munitions were safe, secure and under military control at all times," Col Thomas said. "The air force takes its mission to safeguard weapons seriously. No effort will be spared to ensure that the matter is thoroughly and completely investigated." Army Times quoted the colonel as saying the loading crew involved had been temporarily "decertified" pending retraining and the investigation. A military official told AFP news agency that President George W Bush had been informed of the mix-up. "There are procedures in place and they kicked in and worked," the official said. The BBC's Adam Brookes in Washington says experts have made it clear that if the plane had crashed there would not have been a nuclear explosion but there could have been a threat from plutonium leakage. Commander disciplined for nuclear mistake By Michael Hoffman, Military Times The Air Force continued handing out disciplinary actions in response to the six nuclear warheads mistakenly flown on a B-52 bomber from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30. The squadron commander in charge of Minot's munitions crews was relieved of all duties pending the investigation. It was originally reported that five nuclear warheads were transported, but officers who tipped Military Times to the incident who have asked to remain anonymous since they are not authorized to discuss the incident, have since updated that number to six. Air Force and defense officials would not confirm the missiles were armed with nuclear warheads Wednesday, citing longstanding policy, but they did confirm the Air Force was "investigating an error made last Thursday during the transfer of munitions" from Minot to Barksdale. The original plan was to transport non-nuclear Advanced Cruise Missiles, mounted on the wings of a B-52, to Barksdale as part of a Defense Department effort to decommission 400 of the ACMs. It was not discovered that the six missiles had nuclear warheads until the plane landed at Barksdale, leaving the warheads unaccounted for during the approximately 3 and one-half hour flight between the two bases, the officers said. President Bush was immediately alerted to the mistake and the Air Force launched a service-wide investigation headed by Maj. Gen. Douglas Raaberg, director of Air and Space Operations at Air Combat Command Headquarters, said Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. Ed Thomas. FIND MORE STORIES IN: Air Force AIR FORCE BASE Department of Defense Minot B- 52 Ed Thomas Michael Hoffman Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has requested daily briefings from Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley on the progress of the investigation. Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., a member of the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee, requested a full-classified briefing, not just the preliminary information being provided to lawmakers, to explain how a mistake of this magnitude could have happened. Thomas said the transfer was conducted safely and the American public was never in any danger since the weapons were in Air Force custody and control at all times. But few critics were placated Wednesday by the Air Force's reassurances. "Nothing like this has ever been reported before and we have been assured for decades that it was impossible," said Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., co-chair of the House Bi-partisan Task Force. Non-proliferation treaty experts said the Air Force didn't violate any international nuclear treaties by transporting the nuclear warheads on the B-52, but it was the first time since 1968 that it's been known publicly that nuclear warheads were transported on a U.S. bomber. The Defense Department does transport nuclear warheads by air, but instead of bombers it uses C-17 or C-130 cargo aircraft. "These reports are deeply disturbing," said Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. " The American people, our friends, and our potential adversaries must be confident that the highest standards are in place when it comes to our nuclear arsenal." The Defense Department uses a computerized tracking program to keep tabs on each one of its nuclear warheads, said Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists. For the six warheads to make it onto the B-52, each one would have had to be signed out of its storage bunker and transported to the bomber. Diligent safety protocols would have to have been ignored to load the warheads onto the plane, he said. "I just can't imagine how all of this happened," said Philip Coyle, a senior adviser on nuclear weapons at the Center for Defense Information. "The procedures are so rigid; this is the last thing that's supposed to happen." At no time was there a risk for a nuclear detonation, even if the B-52 crashed on its way to Barksdale, said Steve Fetter, a former Defense Department official who worked on nuclear weapons policy in 1993-94. A crash would ignite the high explosives associated with the warhead, and possibly cause a leak of plutonium, but the warhead's elaborate safeguards would prevent a nuclear detonation from occurring, he said. "The Air Force takes its mission to safeguard weapons seriously," Thomas said. "No effort will be spared to ensure that the matter is thoroughly and completely investigated." Along with the 5th Munitions Squadron commander, the munitions crews involved in mistakenly loading the nuclear warheads at Minot have been temporarily decertified from performing their duties involving munitions, pending corrective actions or additional training, Thomas said. The error comes after the Air Force announced last March the 5th Bomb Wing won two servicewide safety awards during fiscal year 2006. "This is really shocking," Coyle said. "The Air Force can't tolerate it, and the Pentagon can't tolerate it, either." http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/2007-09-05-b-52_N.htm In Error, B-52 Flew Over U.S. With Nuclear-Armed Missiles By Josh White Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, September 6, 2007; An Air Force B-52 bomber flew across the central United States last week with six cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads that were mistakenly attached to the airplane's wing, defense officials said yesterday. The Stratofortress bomber, based at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota , was transporting a dozen Advanced Cruise Missiles to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana on Aug. 30. But crews inadvertently loaded half of them with nuclear warheads attached. Air Force officials said the warheads were not activated and at no time posed a threat to the public. But a timeline of the episode supplied by the Air Force yesterday to House and Senate lawmakers indicated that the missiles in question sat on a runway in Louisiana for nearly 10 hours before workers noticed that the nuclear warheads were inside. Military officials also said they were concerned that the warheads were unaccounted for several hours while the missiles were in transit. The missiles never left Air Force control, they said. The cruise missiles -- part of an Air Force fleet of more than 400 of their kind -- are being retired and usually would not carry nuclear warheads while being transported. Defense officials said the B-52's mission last week did not include training runs, so the missiles were never meant to be launched. The cruise missiles have a range of about 2,000 miles and are designed to hit precision targets well behind a potential enemy's lines. Two defense officials said it is unclear how stringent safeguards for the handling of nuclear weapons were skirted, allowing the missiles with the warheads to be loaded onto a pylon that was then attached to the underside of the B-52's wing. Air Force officials said the mistake was a serious breach of rules and that an investigation began immediately. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) and Sen. John McCain ( Ariz. ), the panel's ranking Republican, yesterday jointly called the episode "a matter of grave concern" and, in a letter to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates , requested an investigation of the incident by the Pentagon 's inspector general. The aircraft's pilots and other crew members were unaware that they were carrying nuclear warheads, officials said. "Essentially, this is an issue of a departure from our very exacting standards," said Lt. Col. Edward Thomas, an Air Force spokesman at the Pentagon, who declined to confirm that nuclear warheads were involved. "The Air Force maintains the highest standards of safety and precision, so any deviation from these well-established munitions procedures is very serious, and we are responding swiftly." The incident, first reported by the Military Times, prompted senior leaders to relieve a munitions squadron commander of his duties. Other airmen have been temporarily suspended from duties. "Nothing like this has ever been reported before, and we have been assured for decades that it was impossible," said Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), co-chairman of the House Bipartisan Task Force on Nonproliferation. "The complete breakdown of the Air Force command and control over enough nuclear weapons to destroy several cities has frightening implications not only for the Air Force, but for the security of our entire nuclear weapons stockpile." The Air Force's Air Combat Command has ordered a stand-down for its bases next week to review procedures and prevent a repeat of the mistake. "All evidence seems to point to this being an isolated mistake," Thomas said. Geoff Morrell, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters at a news conference yesterday that Gates was informed of the incident early last Friday and has been receiving daily progress reports. Morrell said President Bush was also notified. In a statement yesterday, Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said he found the reports "deeply disturbing." Was That Nuclear-Armed B-52 Flight Destined for Iran? Written by Dave Lindorff Monday, 10 September 2007 There's something definitely screwy about the August 30 incident in which a B-52 bomber flew from Minot AFB in North Dakota to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana carrying five fully armed Advanced Cruise Missiles, each equipped with nuclear bombs capable of exploding at anything from 5 kilotons to 150 kilotons. The government has been quick to say that the flight, which violated a number of long-standing orders regarding shipment of nuclear weapons in US airspace, was a "mistake." But was it a mistake? The biggest question is why a B-52 armed with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles would fly to Barksdale AFB. If, as reported, the weapons were being transported to be decommissioned, which supposedly is the destination for 400 of these doomsday weapons, then they should have been destined for Kirtland AFB in New Mexico, near the Pantex plant outside Amarillo, TX, where they would be dismantled. As Michael Salla writes in a disturbing piece in Saturday's edition of OpEdNews , the weapons should also not have been flown at all on a B-52, as there have been standing orders for 40 years against such flights over US soil, following several accidents in which bombs or nuclear-armed rockets were lost because "broken arrow" incidents including inadvertent bomb drops or crashes. A second order, issued in 1991 at the end of the Cold War by George Bush's father, barred the loading of nuclear weapons on any bomber. Any pilot would have known this, as would any ground support people loading the missiles on the B-52. According to Salla, if these five cruise missiles were really being transported by air to Texas for decommissioning, they should have been disarmed and flown in specially designed transport planes that are built to resist nuclear leakage in the event of a crash. They would never be transported under the wings of a B-52. What makes the incident even more suspicious is that Barksdale AFB is a staging area for B-52s being sent to the Middle East for combat duty. As the website GlobalSecurity.org reports: "Barksdale Air Force Base is headquarters for the 2d Bomb Wing, Eighth Air Force and 917th Wing. The 2d Bomb Wing provides global combat capability and trains all B-52 combat crews." The official Barksdale AFB website says: "Barksdale warriors and B-52s have a proud tradition serving both at home and abroad in support of the Global War on Terrorism; they have played vital roles in combat operations supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom." The original expose of the B-52 flight appeared in the newspaper . Staff writer Michael Hoffman writes that his initial source for the story was three officers "who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the incident." So this is a case where some military officers who knew something wrong was happening did the honorable, patriotic thing and went public with a publication they trusted, both to do the right thing, and to protect them. So what is actually going on here? Salla suggests the worst: that this was likely a deliberate action, ordered through a chain of command outside the Pentagon. Salla notes that it has been widely reported that the top brass in the US military (note: with the exception of some wackos in the Air Force), have staunchly opposed any use of nuclear weapons in the event of an air attack on Iran. So an order to send nuclear-armed cruise missiles to the Persian Gulf region, if that's what this flight was, would not likely have come through the normal chain of command from the Secretary of Defense through the Air Combat Command (ACC, successor to SAC). It would, Salla hints darkly, have come through the back channel set up since even before 9-11 by Vice President Dick Cheney, who is known to be pushing for an attack on Iran, and who would like nothing better than to use nuclear weapons to disable Iran's nuclear processing facilities. We're talking about high treason, if Salla is right. And the seriousness of what happened - five nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, in firing position, flown across the width of the continental US in violation of all standing orders to a base that is a staging area for B-52 flights to the Persian Gulf war zone - demands a full public investigation. The Democrats in charge of Congress, and the Republican minority, may not have the stomach to stand up to the Bush administration's obsession to keep the bloodletting going in Iraq, and they may not have the courage even to put a stop to plans to attack Iran, but even the most reprehensible weasels and cowards among them should have the basic decency to know that this bizarre and suspicious flight needs to be investigated to the fullest to get to the bottom of what was going on. Salla suggests that behind the scenes, Gates and the generals, who clearly distrust and dislike the vice president and who don't want an Iran attack, will use this incident to go after the vice president and force him into a "medical" resignation. He says that the exposure of the flight will also put any attack on Iran on hold, because military leaders will be worried that there are other nuclear weapons that have been introduced into the equation secretly, either for use in Iraq or for a "black flag" operation against US forces. Let us hope so they are right, and that this will be Cheney's undoing. I'm not as confident as Salla, however. If it turns out that Cheney was behind this incident, that its goal was as sinister as Salla suspects, and that it was only the brave action of several officers who went public and leaked information about it that led to the undoing of the plan, it may take more than behind-the-scenes pressure from the Defense Department to take down the vice president. Moreover, if Cheney simply resigned, without the incident being exposed publicly, Americans would not ever know how close we came to global disaster, martial law, and the end of America as we know it. It is essential that Congress get to the bottom of this one. Every person remotely connected to this mission needs to be called before Congress and put under oath to explain what happened. An independent prosecutor should also be named to start a criminal investigation. Note: Back in the early 1970s, my wife and I knew an Air Force reservist who told us he was flying secret missions for the government, to Central America and to the Middle East. He never explained what these were, but it was clear that they were connected with secret operations of a military nature. This individual, who had turned belatedly against the Vietnam War, and had begun to question what he was doing in secret, died under mysterious circumstances in his apartment. His mother went to the morgue to pick up the body only to discovered to her horror that it was not her son. Someone had removed his corpse, making any investigation as to cause of death impossible. There are sinister operations carried on by this government, and this looks like one that is as sinister as it can get. The crew of that B-52 and the ground crew that loaded it, should be watching their backs. B-52 Bomber Incident and Insider Trading? Was Someone Trying to Profit from a Nuclear Attack Against Iran Before September 21? by Michael E. Salla, M.A., Ph.D. September 11, 2007 A B-52 bomber loaded with five (increased to six in later reports) nuclear weapons fitted on the pylons under its wings was discovered after sitting for ten hours on a tarmac at Barksdale AFB on 30 August 2007. Three anonymous Air Force officers leaked the news of the incident to the Army Times newspaper which announced the discovery on 5 September 2007. The discovery immediately gained world wide coverage: LINK . The "mainstream" Big Business-owned news media has so far concentrated on the U.S. Air Force version of events that the incident was an "error" and is now subject to an official investigation. Barksdal e AFB is a staging post for Middle East operations and routinely has B-52 flying missions. The B-52 incident has subsequently led to speculation that the nuclear weapons were intended for a covert mission to Iran, and the Office of the Vice President was probably involved in bypassing the normal chain of military command, LINK . The discovery of the B-52 came on top of rapidly increasing speculation that the U.S. Bush administration is about to authorize a massive pre-emptive aerial assault against Iran. According to the Sunday Times, the Pentagon has prepared for air strikes against 1,200 targets in Iran that would in three days destroy Iran's military infrastructure, LINK . What gives reports of a planned attack against Iran involving nuclear weapons greater credibility is a number of mysterious August 2007 purchases of a particular type of stock called 'put options' and 'call options' which are based on a dramatic shift in the U.S. stock market, 1 research.wtc7.net/sept11/stockputs.html"> LINK . The investments were so suspicious that they became subject to an insider trading investigation by U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) but the no one was ever identified or charged. This was despite a determined effort by the SEC to find who was behind the investments. The parallels with "put" and "call option" purchases just before 9/11 has led to speculation that the August billion dollar inves Iran's military infrastructure, or used in a False Flag operation that would have justified a U.S. assault on Iran. Admiral William Fallon, Commander of U.S. Central Command, was to direct conventional bombing operations against Iran's military infrastructure. The covert mission, however, would have had a different chain of command, where the Office of the Vice President was to take a prominent role. The nuclear weapons on the B-52 had adjustable yields between five and 150 kilotons which would have made them suitable in taking out Iran's deep underground nuclear facilities. The effect of tactical nuclear weapons to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities would have been devastating. Radioactive contamination would have dispersed widely affecting the health of millions in the region. At the same time, Iran's military and much of its civilian infrastructure would be destroyed by conventional munitions. This would have restricted Iran's abilities to cope with the health and humanitarian impact of the use of nuclear weapons, and destruction of itss. One question to be asked is who are the hidden investors with insider knowledge that stood to gain billions in short term profits from a possible attack against Iran?? This answer will give an important clue to the long term agenda being played out, and the principal actors involved. In the case of 9/11, similar investors were able to evade detection from an official investigation by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC launched an unprecedented investigation that deputized "hundreds, if not thousands, of key players in the private sector", LINK . According to former Los Angeles Police Officer, Michael Ruppert, what happens when individuals are deputized is that they are sworn to secrecy on national security grounds. This was a very effective way of keeping secret what was discovered in the SEC investigation. What is the most plausible explanation for the kind of investor that would have the power to subvert an SEC investigation in this manner? The most likely answer is the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It has been alleged that CIA front companies annually supply funds for a black budget used to fund covert national security projects . The black budget has been estimated to range between 1.1 to 1.7 trillion dollars annually which is funnelled through the CIA to various military-corporate entities fulfilling such projects, LINK . Reportedly, a massive size black budget is needed to fund an alleged "second" Manhattan Project. Such alleged projects would be so deeply compartmentalized and classified, that most members of U.S. Congress would not be informed of their existence. The CIA is uniquely suited to perform this function of secretly raising revenue through the 1949 CIA Act which authorizes the CIA to expend funds "without regard to any provisions of law" (50USC 15:1.403f.a.1.). The CIA therefore does not have to follow any legal requirements for the funds it procures from various sources, and funnels to military-corporate entities directly responsible for the second Manhattan project. The discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 is likely to lead to an indefinite delay in plans for a pre-emptive military attack against Iran. There is nevertheless a need to expose the principle actors and the underlying agendas of those behind the covert plans to use nuclear weapons. It is also important to expose anonymous investors that intended to commercially profit from such an attack before September 21, and had insider knowledge of this. Former U.S. President Eisenhower had warned that an informed public is the best safeguard against unwarranted abuses of executive power. Arguably, a pre-emptive attack against Iran that does not have the support of the American people or U.S. Congress, would qualify for such an abuse. It appears that the period leading up to September 21, 2007 was to witness a pre-emptive attack against Iran, involving nuclear weapons loaded on at least one B-52 bomber. The humanitarian cost in terms of radioactive fallout, and casualties from the destruction of Iran's military and much of its civilian infrastructure would have been catastrophic for the Persian Gulf region (nuclear fallout would also subsequently circle the globe, which would be followed by the proliferation of related diseases and environmental problems adversely effecting all of humanity and other living species on Earth). Furthermore, the U.S. and global economy would have gone into a deep free fall in the event of dramatic increases in oil prices and further instability in the Middle East. Out of this planned tragedy, anonymous investors with possible CIA connections and insider knowledge, had the opportunity to plan for commercial profit. It is further alleged that financial proceeds would have been used to secretly fund an alleged second Manhattan Project that would-piggy back on the military execution of an aggressive neo-conservative agenda against Iran, in the Middle East geo-political milieu. Hopefully, the discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 has averted such a tragedy for the moment. Now is the time to consider the wisdom to consider allegations associated with an apparently aborted pre-emptive strike against Iran, and to make accountable all those who are responsible.

Someone, operating under a special chain of command within the United States Air Force, just stole a nuclear weapon. By Chuck Simpson AboveTopSecret.com 9-12-7 Some History Barksdale Missile Number Six deserves far more public attention than it's received to date. Missile Number Six is potentially the major story of at least this year. Until 1968 under the Airborne Alert Program, informally called Operation Chrome Dome, the Air Force routinely kept about a dozen strategic bombers with nuclear weapons flying at all times. One predictable result was crashes and incidents. In 1968 the Department of Defense published a list of 13 serious nuclear weapons accidents that occurred between 1950 and 1968. In 1980 the list was revised to include 32 incidents through that year. Notably, the Pentagon has not acknowledged any accidents since 1980. This alone highlights the importance the Pentagon is placing on the recent transportation of nuclear weapons from North Dakota to Louisiana. Through 1968, several reported incidents involved plane crashes or malfunctions, beginning with the crash of a B-29 near Fairfield, California in August 1950. The resulting blast was felt 30 miles away. In July 1950 a B-50 crashed near Lebanon, Ohio. The high-explosive trigger for the nuclear weapon detonated on impact. The blast was felt over 25 miles away. In May 1957 a nuclear weapon fell from the bomb bay of a B-36 near Albuquerque, New Mexico. Parachutes malfunctioned and the weapon was destroyed on impact. In October 1957 near Homestead, Florida a B-47 crashed. The nuclear weapon was burned. In March 1958 a B-47 accidentally dropped a nuclear weapon near Florence, South Carolina. The high-explosive trigger detonated on impact. In November 1958 a B-47 crashed near Abilene, Texas. The trigger of the nuclear weapon exploded upon impact. In July 1959 a C-124 crashed near Bossier City, Louisiana. Both plane and nuclear weapon were destroyed. In October 1959 a B-52 with two nuclear weapons was involved in a mid-air collision near Hardinsburg, Kentucky. One weapon partially burned. In January 1961 a B-52 broke apart in mid-air near Goldsboro, North Carolina. Two nuclear weapons were released. The parachute on one weapon malfunctioned, and contamination was spread over a wide area. The uranium core was never recovered. Daniel Ellsberg reported that detonation was a very real risk because five of six safety devices failed. In that month near Monticello, Idaho a B-52 carrying nuclear weapons exploded in mid-air. No information was made available as to the weapons. In March 1961 a B-52 with two nuclear weapons crashed near Yuba City, California. In January 1964 a B-52 carrying two nuclear weapons crashed near Cumberland, Maryland. In January 1966 a B-52 carrying four hydrogen bombs crashed after a mid-air collision near Palomares, Spain. Two weapons exploded on impact, with resulting plutonium contamination. A months-long program was undertaken to locate and extract the other two weapons from the ocean. Major policy changes were taken under consideration. In January 1968 a B-52 carrying four hydrogen weapons crashed and burned near Thule AFB in Greenland. Explosives in one bomb detonated, spreading plutonium contamination. Apparently, the other three weapons have never been accounted for. Following large public protests Denmark, which owns Greenland and prohibits nuclear weapons on or over its territory, filed a strong protest. A few days later the Secretary of Defense ordered the removal of nuclear weapons from planes. After that order was issued, all aircraft armed with nuclear weapons were grounded but kept in a constant state of alert. In 1991 by Presidential order, nuclear weapons were removed from all aircraft. Bomber nuclear ground alerts, during which nuclear weapons are loaded onto bombers during test and training exercises, were halted. After that time, all nuclear weapons to be delivered by plane were permanently maintained in secure storage facilities. August 30, 2007 All of which makes the transport of nuclear weapons in combat position on a combat plane so newsworthy. On August 30, for the first time since 1968, nuclear warheads in combat position were carried by an American bomber. Numerous international treaty provisions were violated in the process. A total of 460 units were manufactured by Raytheon. A total of 394 units are currently maintained by the Air Force. Apparently, 38 are to be modernized and upgraded in Fiscal Year 2008 and the other 356 are to be decommissioned pursuant to the 2002 Moscow treaty. Raytheon has publicly announced the AGM-129 missiles are to be modified to accomplish a "classified cruise missile mission". This has widely been interpreted to mean conversion to bunker-busters, most likely for use in Iran. This widely accepted explanation is being used to explain why armed cruise missiles are being flown in American airspace. Nuclear Warheads The AGM-129 was specifically designed to deliver a W-80 nuclear warhead. The W-80 weapon has a variable yield capability, of 5 to 150 kilotons. For comparison purposes, the bomb used on Hiroshima was 13 to 15 kilotons, or equivalent to 13,000 to 15,000 tons of TNT explosive. News Stories and Flawed Explanations The story of the B-52 flight was first reported by Army Times, owned by Gannett, on Wednesday September 5. Gannett relied on information provided by "anonymous officers". The story was picked up by Yahoo Wednesday morning, published by USA Today and The Washington PosT, and then quickly spread. In response, the Pentagon quickly spread an official explanation. The Air Force admitted to an inadvertent error: The intent was to transport ACMs without weapons. According to military officers, the nuclear warheads should have been removed before the missiles were mounted on the pylons under the wings of the bomber. In the words of the Pentagon: "There was an error which occurred during a regularly scheduled transfer of weapons between two bases. The weapons were safe and remained in Air Force control and custody at all times." For almost the first time in the history of the nation, the military has publicly and promptly admitted it "made a mistake". This in itself is truly astounding. To reinforce the military's claim that a mistake was made, a system-wide stand-down was ordered for September 14. That official explanation was quickly explained away. The mistake was made intentionally, so a "deliberate leak" of a secret operation could occur. The CIA and the Office of Counter-Terrorism in the State Department explained that Barksdale AFB is a "jumping off point" for re-supply of the Middle East. The "deliberate leak" was intended to serve as a veiled warning to Iran. This deliberately misleading explanation is evidently intended to lead the public or Iran or both to logically conclude the missiles are bound for Iran. Bluntly, State and the CIA converted a whistleblower leak by true American patriots into a deliberate leak by official Washington, to scare Iran. By this means Washington has led the public to forget or overlook the real issue. To begin, the multiple official explanations reek to high heaven. They collectively read suspiciously like flimsy cover stories concocted in hasty desperation. And no amount of pretty lipstick will be able to make the official explanations pretty. Transportation Violations More conflicting explanations followed. These missiles are part of a group scheduled to be decommissioned. This would explain why they were shipped out of North Dakota. But the missiles were not transported on their way to decommissioning. Missiles are normally decommissioned at Davis-Monthan AFB at Tucson. Nuclear weapons are decommissioned at the Department of Energy's Pantex facility near Amarillo, Texas, accessed through Kirkland AFB in New Mexico. And military policy requires minimization of the number of flights made with nuclear weapons aboard. So the weapons should not have been mounted on the missiles, flown to Louisiana, un-mounted and flown to New Mexico. The mode of transportation is also a major issue not defused by official explanations. Per standard operating procedures, or SOPs, both missiles and nuclear warheads are transported primarily by air, in specially modified C-130s or C-17s. Under no peacetime circumstances do military SOPs allow transport of nuclear weapons mounted in cruise missiles mounted in combat positions on combat planes. Department of Defense Directive Number 4540.5, issued on February 4, 1998, regulates logistic transportation of nuclear weapons. By delegation of Commanders of Combatant Commands, movement of nuclear weapons must be approved by commanders of major service commands. Commanders of Combat Commands or service component commanders must evaluate, authorize and approve transport modes and movement routes for nuclear weapons in their custody. The Air Force is required to maintain a Prime Nuclear Airlift Force capability to conduct the logistic transport of nuclear weapons. Under SOPs, combat planes with combat-ready nuclear weapons can only be flown on the authority of the Commander in Chief, the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the National Military Command Authority. All of these transportation regulations were flagrantly violated on August 30. Handling Violations Violations of regulations concerning handling of the nuclear weapons in North Dakota are worse. A sophisticated computerized tracking system is used for nuclear weapons. Multiple sign-offs are required to remove the weapons from their storage bunkers. The AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile was designed to carry nuclear weapons. No non-nuclear warhead is available for this missile. So the only possible error could have been loading nuclear warheads on the missiles instead of practice dummies. The practice warheads have standard blue and yellow signs declaring "Inert, non-nuclear". The nuclear warheads have at least three distinctive red warning signs. This error is therefore highly improbable, absent tampering with signage. Nuclear weapons are transported from the storage bunker to the aircraft in a caravan that routinely includes vehicles with machine guns front and rear and guards with M-16s. All steps in the process are done under the watchful eyes of armed military police. Rules require that at least two people jointly control every step of the process. If one person loses sight of the other, both are forced to the ground face-down and temporarily "placed under arrest" by observant security forces. All progress stops until inspections are made to assure the weapons weren't tampered with. All nuclear weapons are connected to sophisticated alarm systems to prevent removal or tampering. They could only be removed from the storage bunker by turning the alarm off. And the squad commander clearly would not have authority to turn off the alarm. The Impossible Mistake Bluntly, the mistake of loading nuclear weapons on a combat aircraft in combat-ready position is simply not possible to make. Safeguards are far too stringent and far too many people would be involved. Particularly given that the mounting was in violation of policy that's been in place without exception for almost 40 years. No discipline is expected to be meted out. The New York Times tried to imply the commanding general had been fired. Actually, the squad commander in charge of munitions crews at Minot was "relieved of duty pending an investigation". He has not been removed from his position or disciplined. The crews involved have been "temporarily decertified pending corrective actions or additional training" but have not been disciplined. No mention has been made of the wing commander. Note carefully: These actions amount to nothing at all. The wing and squad commanders are still in place and the crews can easily be re-certified. Successful Confusion Washington's efforts to confuse the public have been successful. Attention has shifted from the crucial issue. This news has already become non-news. The August 14 stand-down will momentarily become news, followed by announcements of more stringent restrictions, improved safeguards and additional training. The public always has been and always will be safe. One of the major issues will be avoided: Someone in an irregular chain of Air Force command authorized loading and transport of nuclear weapons. And that would never have been done without a reason. Given the magnitude of regulatory violations involved, the reason must be extremely important. The paramount issue will be avoided, if necessary with repetition of the reassurance that the Air Force was in control at all times. The weapons were only missing during the 3.5-hour flight. At Barksdale, the missiles were considered to be unarmed items headed for modernization or the scrap heap, and of no particular importance. They were left unguarded for almost ten hours. According to one report, almost ten hours were required for airmen at Minot AFB to convince superiors that the nuclear weapons had disappeared. According to information provided to Congress, this time lapsed before airmen at Barksdale "noticed" the weapons were present. News reports will continue to overlook this fact also. Even here the focus is on time. The number of missiles and warheads issue was overlooked. Early news reports spoke of five nuclear warheads loaded onto the bomber. Apparently, this information was provided from Barksdale. That number was later updated to six weapons missing from Minot, apparently based on anonymous tips provided to Military Times by people at Minot. This information has also been forgotten. Conclusion Six nuclear weapons disappeared from Minot AFB in North Dakota. Five nuclear weapons were discovered at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. Which leads to my chilling conclusion: Someone, operating under a special chain of command within the United States Air Force, just stole a nuclear weapon. What next? The answer has been provided several times, most recently by CIA Director and General Michael Hayden. On September 7, dressed in full military uniform, Hayden told assembled members of the Council of Foreign Relations: "Our analysts assess with high confidence that al-Qaida's central leadership is planning high-impact plots against the U. S. homeland." "We assess with high confidence that al-Qaida is focusing on targets that would produce mass casualties, dramatic destruction and significant aftershocks." An eye for an eye. Use of nukes will justify use of nukes. A perfect excuse to wage nuclear war against Iran. I suspect Hayden is absolutely correct, except for his mistaken identification of the "central leadership" that is planning detonation of a nuclear weapon on American soil. Air Force secretary being briefed on why B-52 flew nukes over U.S. Created: September 14, 2007 The week after a B-52 mistakenly loaded with nuclear weapons was flown to Barksdale Air Force Base, the secretary of the Air Force was to meet with officials at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., today to review procedures for handling nuclear weapons. Michael Wynne's visit comes amid an ongoing investigation into why the B-52 bomber from Minot was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads last month and flown across several states to Bossier City. The B-52 sat on a runway at Barksdale for 10 hours before it was discovered that six of the cruise missiles under its wings had nuclear warheads attached, Pentagon officials told members of Congress. "Secretary Wynne takes the recent breakdown in the munitions system very seriously and is committed to ensuring munitions processes are safe, secure and absolutely reliable," a statement from Minot said. All indications are that it was an "isolated mistake," Pentagon officials said. Air Force officials said the warheads were not activated and never posed a public threat. They also said they were concerned that the warheads were unaccounted for several hours while the bomber flew across the country. The B-52 was transporting a dozen cruise missiles to Barksdale. It happened on Aug. 30. (The Associated Press contributed to this report) Did Military Leak Foil Attempt To Bomb Iran? By Michael E. Salla, MA, PhD 9-16-7 Critically exploring whether or not there was a covert attempt to instigate a catastrophic nuclear war against Iran is illuminated through an introduction using the recent B-52 Incident. On August 30, a B-52 bomber armed with five nuclear-tipped Advanced Cruise missiles travelled from Minot Air Force base, North Dakota, to Barksdale Air Force base, Louisiana, in the United States. Each missile had an adjustable yield between five and 150 kilotons of TNT which is at the lower end of the destructive capacities of U.S. nuclear weapons. For example, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of 13 kilotons, while the Bravo Hydrogen bomb test of 1954 had a yield of 15,000 kilotons. The B-52 story was first covered in the Army Times on 5 September after the nuclear armed aircraft was discovered by Airmen. http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/09/marine_nuclear_B52_070904w/ What made this a very significant event was that it was a violation of U.S. Air Force regulations concerning the transportation of nuclear weapons by air. Nuclear weapons are normally transported by air in specially constructed planes designed to prevent radioactive pollution in case of a crash. Such transport planes are not equipped to launch the nuclear weapons they routinely carry around the U.S. and the world for servicing or positioning. The discovery of the nuclear armed B-52 was, according to Hans Kristensen, a nuclear weapons expert at the Federation of American Scientists, the first time in 40 years that a nuclear armed plane had been allowed to fly in the U.S. http://www.nti.org/d_newswire/issues/2007_9_5.html#149D6ECF Since 1968, after a SAC bomber crashed in Greenland, all nuclear armed aircraft have been grounded but were kept on a constant state of alert. After the end of the Cold War, President George H. Bush ordered in 1991 that nuclear weapons were to be removed from all aircraft and stored in nearby facilities. Recently, the Air Force began decommissioning its stockpile of Advanced Cruise missiles. The five nuclear weapons on the B-52 were to be decommissioned, and were to be taken to another Air Force base. An Air Force press statement issued on 6 September 2007, claimed that there "was an error which occurred during a regularly scheduled transfer of weapons between two bases." Furthermore, the statement declared: "The Air Force maintains the highest standards of safety and precision so any deviation from these well established munitions procedures is considered very serious." The issue concerning how a nuclear armed B-52 bomber was allowed to take off and fly in U.S. air space after an 'error' in a routine transfer process, is now subject to an official Air Force inquiry which is due to be completed by September 14. Three key questions emerge over the B-52 incident. First, did Air Force personnel at Minot AFB not spot the 'error' earlier given the elaborate security procedures in place to prevent such mistakes from occurring? Many military analysts have commented on the stringent security procedures in place to prevent this sort of mistake from occurring. Multiple officers are routinely involved in the transportation and loading of nuclear weapons to prevent the kind of 'error' that allegedly occurred in the B-52 incident. According to the U.S. Air Force statement, the commanding officer in charge of military munitions personnel and additional munitions airmen were relieved of duties pending the completion of the investigation. According to Kristensen, the error could not have come from confusing the Advanced Cruise Missile with a conventional weapons since no conventional form exists. So the munitions Airmen should have been easily able to spot the mistake. Other routine procedures were violated which suggests a rather obvious explanation for the error. The military munitions personnel were acting under direct orders, though not through the regular chain of military command. This takes me to the second question. Who was in Charge of the B-52 Incident? Who ordered the loading of Advanced Cruise missiles on to a B-52 in violation of Air Force regulations? The quick reaction of the Air Force and the issuing of a public statement describing the seriousness of the issue and the launch of an immediate investigation, suggests that whatever occurred, was outside the regular chain of military command. If the regular chain of command was violated, then we have to inquire as to whether the B-52 incident was part of a covert project whose classification level exceeded that held by officers in charge of nuclear weapons at Minot AFB. http://www.rense.com/general78/milleak.htm How Chinese Military Hackers Took Control of a Nuclear Loaded B-52 !!!! This is the case of the "Mistakenly Loaded" 6/5 ? Nuclear Cruise Missiles that caused a complete shutdown of the U.S. Air force on Sept.14 to do a survey of what happened. The answer The U.S. had China make custom made electronic chips for military computers (to save money ?) and the Chinese built in back doors where they could take control of the computers. Now the U.S. military will not know if an order to Nuke a target came from them or China. In case you missed this the first time around - Long But you Must read it. We are Toast ! Command Override How Chinese Military Hackers Took Control of a Nuclear Loaded B-52 !!!! Address: http://www.willthomasonline.net/willthomasonline/Command_Override.html It is the absolute responsibility of everybody in uniform to disobey an order that is either illegal or immoral." -General Peter Pace, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff addressing the National Press Club, Feb 17/06 COMMAND OVERRIDE How Chinese Military Hackers Took Over A Nuclear-Armed B52 By William Thoma The story sounded like a sequel to "Dr. Strangelove". Leaked by the Pentagon's news service, Military Affairs to quell scuttlebutt racing through the ranks-and perhaps warn the world-a U.S. Air Force B-52 strategic bomber "mistakenly" loaded with six nuclear cruise missiles took off from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota on August 30, 2007 and flew for more than three hours over at least five states, before landing at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. The mistake was so egregious, the National Command Authority comprising President George BU.S.h and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates were quickly informed. The SecDef has since been assured that nuclear weapons "were part of a routine transfer between the two bases... at no time was the public in danger." Both statements are false. In fact, nuclear weapons like these are carefully crated for shipment between bases, and placed inside the bomb bays or cargo compartments of transporting aircraft. In stunning contrast, this reporter has learned from two independent and highly placed sources that the six Advanced Cruise Missiles dangling from the B-52's fatigued and flexible wings were fully armed and ready to fire-except for a single fail/safe switch under the Command Pilot's control. The quickly blacked out episode has prompted an Air Force investigation. Gates, whose official defense computer was hacked last June, necessitating the shutdown of the entire SecDef network, has ordered daily briefings on the Air Force inquiry. The Minot base commander, who might turn out to be the hero in this frightening affair, was relieved of his command. DR. STRANGELOVE VISITS BOURBON STREET As far as anyone knows, no U.S. aircraft has ever been armed with a full wartime loadout of six nuclear weapons. "Nothing like this has ever been reported before and we have been assured for decades that it was impossible," declared Representative Markey, co-chair of the House Task Force on Nonproliferation. Hans Kristensen, an expert on U.S. nuclear forces, says he knows of no other publicly acknowledged case of live nuclear weapons being flown on bombers since the late 1960s. Director Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" was released in 1964 Each of the six ACMs carried a "dialable" 150-kiloton W80-1 warhead--for a combined total of 60-times the destructive power of the bomb that melted the city and inhabitants of Hiroshima--over the unsuspecting residents of five states. Depending on the route flown, a half-dozen armed nuclear weapons wafted for three-and-a-half hours over North Dakota and either South Dakota or Minnesota, Nebraska or Missouri, Oklahoma or Arkansas, and Louisiana. It's no secret that Dick Cheney and his presidential surrogate intend to bomb Iran into the Kingdom to Come. But New Orleans? "What does the government have against Louisiana?" asked a blogger named Lobster Martini. TOUGH LOVE The "mistake" was supposedly discovered when the B-52 landed at Barskdale, where the plane should have been secured by an armed security detail. Instead, it simply parked on the flight line, where ground crew noticed the words "nuclear armed" stenciled on the sides of the missiles. Three officers confirmed the warheads were, in Bush's argot, "nucular." But the mission could have ended in a "broken arrow" nuclear calamity if the bomber had crashed, or inadvertently dropped its ordnance. Munitions, and even entire engines-such as the No. 1 turbine that fell off an American Airlines DC 10 after taking off from Chicago's O'Hare airport in May, 1979, killing two people on the ground and all 271 people onboard-occasionally drop from underwing pylons in flight. A few other examples: -- A B-36 ferrying a nuclear weapon from Biggs Air Force Base, Texas to Kirtland accidentally drops a bomb in the New Mexico desert. -- A fighter pilot accidentally dropped a BDU-33 dummy bomb into a house, narrowly missing a family of three. -- A 500-pound bomb fell from an FA-18 plane during a routine training exercise and exploded on the edge of a U.S. base 100 miles north of Sarajevo. -- A National Guard F-16 fighter jet on a nighttime training mission strafed an elementary school in New Jersey with 25 rounds of depleted uranium ammunition. -- Another U.S. Air Force practice bomb accidentally on the Yorkshire countryside in England. -- Electromagnetic interference from military transmitters may have caused an F-16 jet to accidentally drop a 500 pound bomb on rural West Georgia. A crash, mid-air explosion or structural breakup-not uncommon occurrences with heavily-laden B-52s-could have ignited the high explosives used to implode the warheads. The ultimate dirty bomber's fantasy could have seen plutonium--the deadliest substance ever conjured by humans-raining down over what would become a statewide "national sacrifice zone", off-limits to all life-forms for more than 4 billion years. Barksdale AFB is no stranger to nuclear accidents. On July 6, 1959, a C-124 "Flying Boxcar" crashed on takeoff, completely destroying the aircraft and the nuclear weapon it was carrying. ] PROTOCOLS The Air Combat Command has ordered a command-wide stand down for September 14, 2007 to "review procedures." Though they actually responded flawlessly to apparently authentic orders, the highly trained specialists who carried out the nuclear loadout have been temporarily "decertified" from handling nukes. Representative Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, called the mishandling of arms capable of destroying cities "deeply disturbing. There is no more serious issue than the security and proper handling of nuclear weapons." The crewdogs who flew their assigned mission without mishap have been ordered not to mention that all pilots are required to perform a "walk around" inspection of their airplanes and calculate elaborate "weight-and-balance" graphs before attempting to aviate. Failure to notice or be informed of the much heavier nuclear casings on the missiles they were carrying would have jeopardized flight safety. According to a well-informed and extremely thorough U.S. military source I call "Hank" (with whom I have broken major stories over the past 15 years), someone "must have adjusted the bomber's balance. It had to have been done." In addition to knowing what is externally attached to their airplane, the amount of paperwork, signatures, and discrete passwords involved in releasing a nuclear weapon from its storage bunker and loading it onto an airframe are more formidable than flak. And there were six of them. PICKUP AND DELIVERY The coded message to upload and launch the B-52 from Minot with six live nuclear weapons carried the signature of the "football" containing the day's nuclear launch codes that is carried close to the president at all times by a specially detailed aide. After checking and counter-checking their coded orders, as few as a dozen people in uniform were actually involved in the subsequent secret nuclear mission. According to Hank, at least three high-ranking officers were escorted into Minot AFB's nuclear arms bunker after passing through multiple doors secured by pass codes, whose complete sequences were supplied each officer, who only knew part of each code. One hiccup, a fumbled code sequence, or "the wrong wrench" would have cancelled the loadout instantly. SAFETY FIRST Because the base had stood down for Labor Day, the timing was ideal for security. In his standing orders for August 30, 2007, 5th Bomb Wing commander Colonel Bruce Emig encouraged his troops to "Enjoy a safe Labor Day weekend. "Warbirds, It's hard to believe that Labor Day weekend is already here!" the colonel wrote. "Though cooler temperatures are right around the corner, the weather forecasters tell me that we should have a warm, summer-like weekend. Since Air Combat Command and Air Force Space Command have declared Friday a Family Day, many of you should be able to enjoy a nice, 4-day break as we transition from summer to fall. I wish all of you a relaxing and enjoyable time off, and urge you all once again to please keep safety in mind in all you do!" Under a bomber's nuclear umbrella in a discrete corner of the sprawling airbase, air, ground and ordnance crews did not converse with each other. Or anyone else. Everyone involved knew better than to ask questions that could abruptly end their careers by inadvertently tipping people who did not need to know. LOADOUT Within hours, an airplane with a wingspan longer than the Wright Brothers' first flight was safely loaded with avgas, sandwiches, and six nuclear weapons. Uploaded to the bomber using an accordion cradle on each missile trolley, each Advanced Cruise Missile was fueled once it was secured to a hard point under the aircraft's wings. Because the ACMs were not inside a bomb bay, where they could be armed in flight, each underslung missile had to be fully armed before takeoff. "Wing walker" is not a B-52 job description. The plates connecting the firing circuits of each warhead to the cockpit were then activated, and the safeties were pulled from each clearly marked "nuclear weapon"-rendering it "live". For the Explosive Ordnance Disposal detail who performed the loadout, there could be no doubt they were activating six nuclear weapons. Alarms on the flight line should have sounded as soon as they sniffed hot ions leaking from the pulled pile rods in six slowly fissioning warheads. But the alarms remain silenced. That order, Hank insisted, could only have come under the properly coded signature of the National Command Authority-Commander-in-Chief G.W. Bush or Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates. The ensuing takeoff was an event branded on the central nervous system of every creature in auditory range as eight jet engines at maximum takeoff thrust levitated six missiles, up to 46,000 gallons of fuel, and an airplane the length of a 150-foot ship into a blue yonder that had just become much wilder. Everyone within miles knew that a B-52 had come into Minot and taken off again. But only God and the devil knew where it was going. And they weren't saying. WHO DUNNIT? In the silence left by this momentous departure, if there were questions, nobody voiced them. Perhaps there were a few quietly delivered high-fives instead. Despite the high stress that runs counter to every human instinct, everyone involved had carried out their assigned duties with complete attention to the details required to launch a half-dozen live nuclear weapons "safely". The professionally conducted operation was carried off in complete secrecy, without a hitch, only after the loadout and launch order had been digitally confirmed as coming from the NCA. There was only one problem regarding the originators of those orders, Hank emailed me: "IT WAS NOT US." FAULTY (COMPUTER) TOWERS Let us quickly review. My earlier exclusive on my former website, willthomas.net, disclosed how in October 2006, North Korea's leaders asked China to take out Japan's shiny new recon satellite before it could be tasked by American officers to monitor Pyongyang's first atomic test. Blowing up someone's satellite is an act of war. But overriding its "Made In China" microchips with a remote command from the ground could never be proven. Even if no solar flares were recorded at the time. This first Chinese demo got the Pentagon's attention. After all, their stated goal of "Full Spectrum Dominance" over Earth's land, seas, airspace and electromagnetic spectrum depends on America's successful weaponization of space. But as the Joint Chiefs are only now discovering, many of the supposedly secure chips in America's civilian infrastructure-as well as all military communications, surveillance and weapons systems-have been "Wal-Marted" by U.S. corporations to low-bid Chinese suppliers-who rigged them for failure or takeover by "command override" in the event of war. "Faulty Microchips Threaten U.S. Attack On Iran" ] SEE DICK RUN The second demonstration of China's newfound capabilities to manipulate microchips came in late February 2007, when Dick Cheney's 757, flying home from Australia where the Vice President had not been well received by the locals, was forced to divert to Singapore. In a story intriguingly tagged, "U.S. Denies Cheney Forced To Land," Agence France-Presse reported that the White House admitted the Vice-President's "specially secured" Boeing 757 had "suffered electrical problems" before landing in Singapore. But Cheney spinner Lea Anne McBride insisted, "This was the preplanned, scheduled refueling stop. We were not diverted. The vice president did not get off the plane during his refueling stop." Wrong again. According to U.S. military personnel present on the tarmac at Paya Lebar Air Base-who according to Hank said were "trying to yak with the locals: 'Can you get us this part? Do you have a Radio Shack?'"-a small Chinese delegation met with Cheney outside his electronically-challenged aircraft. Wandering in and out of the brief conversation, Hank's sources described the brief encounter, which occurred shortly after 1400 hours Singapore time. Disembarking Air Force One, Cheney said something like, "Gosh, we got this kind of interesting problem..." "No, you don't understand sir," a Chinese official interrupted. "This is how we brought you here. And this is why." Cheney's visitors itemized the separately wired galley stoves, reading lights, in-flight video, and power outlets onboard the Vice President's aircraft that had all conked out in flight. They knew this, they said, because the electronic signals that had disabled the microchips controlling these various devices had been directed by their government. In an impressive feat, the Chinese military had located and selectively targeted a stealthy aircraft painted with radar-absorbent materials flying at nearly 500 knots at 35,000 feet without a public itinerary. According to Hank's boots-on-the-tarmac sources, the mostly one-way conversation in Singapore concerned "Gulf of Tonkin possibilities." "They reached out and touched someone," Hank related. "They had a message they wanted to get across: 'You've got ships out there in the Gulf. If this thing cooks off, all bets are off because some of the things that are put out there, we are really now wanting people to talk about.'" The Chinese were referring to their control of most of the microchips on this planet. A very thoughtful Dick Cheney departed two hours later. OPENING THE GATES The next Chinese digital demo came last June. In what came to be called "the most successful cyber attack ever mounted on the U.S. defence department," Chinese military hacked into a Pentagon computer network serving the defense secretary's personal office. Like their American counterparts, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) regularly probes U.S. military networks. But American officials said these latest cyber attack caused grave concern when China demonstrated it "could disrupt U.S. defenses systems at critical times." "The PLA has demonstrated the ability to conduct attacks that disable our system... and the ability in a conflict situation to re-enter and disrupt on a very large scale," revealed a former official, adding that the PLA has also penetrated the networks of U.S. arms corporations and war-launching think-tanks. A Chinese official named Jiang repeated his government's denial that it had penetrated other government and military computer networks. But British and German newspapers cited intelligence and other officials saying that government and military networks in Germany, the United States and Britain had been broken into by Chinese army hackers this summer. According to the Associated Press: "China's military has openly discussed using cyber attacks as a means of harrying or defeating a more powerful conventional military. In a 1999 paper on unconventional strategies titled 'Unlimited Warfare' two top Chinese military figures wrote that a hacker could have more power than a nuclear bomb." In a report this year, security software maker Symantec Corp. listed China as having the second most malicious computer activity in the world-after the United States. Speaking as a soldier, Hank commented, "The June hack showed an enormous hole in our ability to protect and communicate our information. LOST IN SPACE The next hack came almost immediately, when Russian computers controlling the International Space Station's orientation and supplies of oxygen and water inexplicably failed while the station's three crewmembers were hosting seven visiting shuttle astronauts. Among the station's network of six Russian computers, only two remained functioning. A system-wide re-boot usually resolved smaller hitches, But this time, the system was unable to re-boot. "A failure of this type has not occurred before," the BBC reported. "This is serious," stated James Oberg, a retired rocket scientist turned author and consultant. "These computers run their life support, so if they can't be restored, the space station could become uninhabitable." Oberg added, "Statistically, this is not random. There is some new environmental factor that must identified and isolated, and neither step is trivial." Russian flight controllers and onboard engineers traced the problem to "odd readings" in electrical power cables feeding the Russian computers through a corroded junction box labeled BOK 3. The gremlins returned to the Russian machines on February 5, when another ISS computer system crashed in the Zvezda Service Module that routes data between orientation sensors and four positioning gyroscopes. The space station's solar power stopped supplying power, and communications were cut with Earth. Though power and comms were restored three hours later, New Scientist reports, "The cause of the computer crash remains a mystery. NASA has so far not identified the cause of the crash." But Hank was on it. "They had limited oxygen, a limited time frame," he observed. The astronauts onboard the space station didn't know if the next computer malfunction "would open an airlock." But like an airliner in flight, the station should have smoothly shifted over to backup systems. It didn't. "The word 'redundancy' never got into the story," Hank pointed out. Instead, all three backup circuit boards wired into three isolated circuits, "had to blow out in the same way at the exact same time. The fault that occurred in the first board, the second board, and the third board all had to be the same damn thing at the same damn time." "Impossible," he declared. Especially, since each of the simultaneously faulty microchips had been "stress tested to hell and back. Except for internal stressors." Except for "Made In China" microchip mischief. While it is not yet confirmed that the February 5 microchip malfunction was related to the June 14 space station hack, according to Hank's sources, on that earlier date the Chinese pulled the equivalent of Cheney's Singapore diversion--in space. "Nobody got busted for it," he adds. "You always hear about the company at fault." Not this time. AC WE SEE While White House fundamentalists remained mesmerized by the firepower ostensibly under their command, Beijing kept trying to send a very different message. Their next installment came in early September 2007, when U.S. Air Force officers passed through multiple levels of security and entered the inner computer sanctum of America's Air and Space Command deep under Cheyenne Mountain. This digital repository stores regularly updates archives needed to execute "clean reinstalls" in case air force computer systems crash or are otherwise compromised. Entering the quietly humming room, the air force officers were shocked to see monitors aglow with light. The displays were supposed to be off. As they watched in shock and awe, randomly typed letters scrolled across a screen. The words were gibberish. But the message was heart-stoppingly clear: "We Can Play With Your Toys!" The sender "left breadcrumbs," Hank related. The deliberately attached ISP (Internet Service Provider) pointed to China. This was bad enough. But what really freaked out the officers was the realization that none of these "stand alone" machines was online. None of them contained a modem! The only way to access these machines, Hank revealed, is to "use the sneaker net to walk up to it and tap on the keyboard. And yet they were interacting, and they were doing it in real time. They fussed with our stuff. These guys were able to go into what was a stand alone system and take control of it." How did the PLA hack supposedly secure air force computers lacking network modems? Just like as select power companies can now pipe the Internet to home computers through electrical power lines, the Chinese were able to play on SAC's supposedly secure computers through the AC power cables connecting them to the national power... "grid". But how did they break supposedly "unbreakable" military encryption? And how were they able to transmit signals to override specific chips buried under a mountain of granite halfway around the globe? According to Hank, the International Space Station was not in line-of-sight with China when it's onboard computers and back-up systems simultaneously went down. HIT MAN When it comes to dialing up a bomber to drop nuclear weapons on another country, "It's kind of like hiring a hit man," Hank explained. You meet him in the parking lot with the assignment, a weapon, and cash. Later, you confirm that you haven't changed your mind. Then the mission proceeds, and either the target or the hit man is taken out. In the case of the mission out of Minot, the First Phase began with an initiation order authorizing weapons release to arm a B-52 specially flown in for this operation. Proper codes and paperwork provided the Pilot in Command with an initial heading to fly, and initial waypoints or nav points to punch into the plane's GPS. No destination was provided. The pilots were just supposed to get in and drive. They did. Once the B-52 was airborne, it flew into an electronic black hole. No electromagnetic emissions came from the bomber. There were no radio calls to home base asking, "Are you guys sure you really want to do this?" Even more startling, no coded IFF squawks identified the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat F---r) as friendly to prowling post-9/11 fighters. And no transponder beeps identified the airplane and its mission. This is not the normal procedure for transporting weapons, or flying a B-52 through heavily-trafficked air corridors over the Continental United States. Every aircraft flying at high altitudes over CONUS, (or through Controlled Airspace around airports at lower attitudes) must transmit their identity on an assigned transponder frequency. Commercial planes squawk in their own dialect. "When you're talking a government vehicle, like a C-130 , that's another level up," Hank noted. "It's a different kind of squawk. ATC knows how to treat that kind of traffic differently. A B-52 is another level up. Controllers don't see that every day. A C-5 -they really don't see that every day." The transponder code of the B-52 out of Minot would have prioritized it to civilian Air Traffic Control, and they would have cleared a corridor for its exclusive track-much like a presidential motorcade. If this Bad Boy had been transferring six advanced nuclear cruise missiles to Barksdale, as official spin insisted, its transponder would have squawked: "Hey, guess what? We've got nukes onboard! Make sure no one runs into us. And if this signal stops scramble recovery people wearing proper attire." Or code to that effect. But this did not happen. "The Situation Room in the White House was not stood up, but they still have people there,? Hank continued. ?One of their jobs is to track nuclear weapons. Somebody in that head shed should have seen a transponder code matched up with nuclear weapons loaded onto that aircraft. That should have been something that went up on the board. They would have known that a B-52 was getting a full loadout, and that all procedures had been followed. And someone else would have said, ' Mmm , six nukes. We'll keep an eye on it." And given an order for radar operators to push a button to highlight that particular blip. Instead, the blacked-out BUFF flew on. TARGET IRAN High in the stratosphere, where the nitrous oxide exhaust from eight fuel-hungry turbines attacked this planet's shredding ozone layer, boosting global warming another notch toward a catastrophic methane meltdown, wings never designed to carry heavy ordnance flexed up and down like a bird in flight. The crew must have considered the long roster of crashed Stratofortress with ?broken arrows? onboard. Not for a second could they forget that the six live nuclear weapons strapped to their wings were as close to detonation as a gremlin's wet dream. Or the fail-safe switch under the Plane Commander's gloves. An hour or two out of Minot, a bell chimed in the cockpit and a secure printer spat out a coded paper message. Even if they betrayed no emotion, the pilots must have felt a chill. Because the mission's next critical Fail-Safe had been passed. "We've thought about it, and the mission is still a go," the message essentially read. If these new orders had not been received, or had been issued incorrectly, the plane would have immediately turned back to the nearest base capable of handling its special needs. But their orders were in order. Positively authenticated by both pilots as coming from the NCA, the new message received onboard the bomber issued the radio frequencies, call signs and rendezvous coordinates for "hitting" one of three aerial refueling planes constantly orbiting over the Gulf of Mexico. Their new "Go Code" also identified their target region. After topping off their tanks, they were to take up a heading for another Gulf, half a world away. BLIND MAN'S BUFF Wouldn't the base commander, or the other officers involved in sending live nuclear weapons toward Iran have second thoughts about a strike that could trigger an even bigger political-military chain reaction? Not necessarily, Hank explained. Military leaders usually favor intimidation in place of bloodshed. If the Iranians could be dissuaded from acquiring a nuclear deterrent of their own, or decide to stop supplying their Shiite brothers next door with sophisticated shaped-charge rockets capable of penetrating the depleted uranium hides of M-1 Abrams tanks-terrific! Everyone involved in the mission must have hoped that in this high-stakes brinksmanship, when Iranian sensors picked up the radioactive signature of an inbound American nuclear bomber strike, the mullahs in Teheran would burn their Korans and turn to Jesus. On the other hand, how do you say "pissed off" in Persian? The mullahs might panic and start pushing buttons of their own. Especially when the Israeli Air Force was notified of the strike, and launched "supporting" fighter-bombers of their own. In any case, it was out of the hands of the base commander and his immediate superiors. Since any one of these key staff officers could conceivably be kidnapped or impersonated during a nuclear strike, none had the authority to issue a recall order. Even if someone in the chain of command issued an RTB (Return To Base), SAC bomber crews en route to the final IP coordinates to commence their attack are trained to ignore all such entreaties. In fact, a frantic "Come home for lunch," or "Call your wife" command would confirm for the crew that something really was amiss, and they were at war. In this way, a series of rote military assumptions can make an ash out of you and me. WHAT, ME WORRY? Meanwhile, the man under whose digitally coded authority this strike was being carried out, remained completely unaware that six nuclear cruise missiles with his name on them were headed toward Iran. Phase Three would have issued coded authorization to take out their assigned targets. One target confirmed by two highly placed, independent sources was a nuclear power plant hard against the mountains of Iran. "But the bomber would still have five missiles left. And it would not leave the area empty," Hank insisted. "If they go loaded for bear, they're not going to leave with a rabbit." After all, he added, a pre-BDA would have been done before launching the bomber "to determine how many it would take. And they needed six ?" Despite all the Hollywood hype, cruise missiles are notoriously inaccurate. Just ask the folks ducking strays in Kuwait or Iran. Still, a cruise missile striking within 30 miles would have taken out that Iranian power plant. But if the nuclear-tipped ACM had detonated over its pile? "Bad. Bad. Very bad," as Hank would say. Because the resulting electromagnetic pulses from such a synergistic chain reaction would have-- among other things--fried every unhardened Chinese microchip aboard every American ship, plane and vehicle in the Persian Gulf. "You don't have to sink the CAG, just turn it off," Hank said, referring to the formidable--yet completely microchip dependent--Carrier Air Group steaming off the coast of Iran. "Once they realized that these ships were just bobbing around out there," the bad guys would have "launched 10,000 rowboats" from surrounding shorelines to go play pirates. Was this why several Chinese Aegis destroyers were steaming in from the east about 250 nautical miles from the Straits of Hormuz? Was this why two or three Chinese submarines had been deployed to the area of the transiting destroyers the week before? Or were the two Chinese anti-aircraft destroyers part of an elaborate fail-safe in case the demonstration glitched and the bomber could not be recalled? Even if their anti-aircraft missiles could not reach the distant plane (easily tracked through its rigged Chinese chips), specific signals sent from the ship could have turned the plane around. Or its fuel off. What were the Chinese thinking? CHINESE CHECKERS Ever since Katrina, and the subsequent standing wave put up off the south coast of Africa by HAARP to deflect hurricanes from the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, Beijing has felt under siege as earthquakes and wild, shipping-interrupting storms continue to be conducted "all the way to China" by the powerful Gakona, Alaskan transmitter. Three times, the Chinese have attempted to override HAARP. And failed. Elaborate demonstrations of their electronic warfare capabilities-- including fizzing circuits in space, and a face-to-face with the U.S. Vice-President in Singapore--had not persuaded American leaders to A: Refrain from hoisting a false flag over a Persian Gulf of Tonkin, and B: Turn HAARP off. Surely, Beijing must have reasoned, ordering a United State Air Force strategic bomber loaded out with six armed nuclear weapons to fly over the United States and then on towards Iran would conclusively demonstrate who was now in charge. "This op would not have 'Made In China' stamped all over it," Hank pointed out. "Instead, American bombs, American bombers and American systems were used." No matter how the mission had proceeded, if Washington had been forced to tell the world, "It wasn't us. We lost control of our bomber carrying six atomic warheads"--how would that have looked to a global audience already angry over America's misuse of its military might? Whatever Beijing's intentions, Hank was not the only person in the U.S. military to have his head rearranged by this latest Chinese demonstration. "They might have wanted to go all the way. Of they might have wanted to put pieces in play and see how far they could go," he surmised. "Maybe the Chinese started, and stopped it." Either way, the unauthorized Minot mission has bluntly shown the White House and the Pentagon: "If you start something, we can stop it. You no longer know how much control you have over your own weapons systems because we can play with them at will. No matter where you are, no matter what you're doing, if you're using our chips you are vulnerable. And you can't know if our Trojan chips are in your systems unless you tear apart every circuits in every surveillance, communications, weapons system, pipelines, telecom and power grid in your entire military and civilian inventory and look. And then dismantle every network they are connected to." "And one more thing," Beijing inferred, "If you take offense and pop off a missile, remember, we might make it do a loop-de-loop and come right back down on its originating silo." Hank and others in America's command hierarchy remain alarmed and puzzled-which makes them even more uneasy. Would China's leadership have precipitated a cloud of radioactive fallout downwind over their own population? Emphatically, yes . The country's generals have long counted an expendable population and land mass as key factors in "winning" a nuclear war. Best case scenario, this recent flight of fancy was a warning for Washington to chill the bomb Iran rhetoric, and dial down HAARP. "Maybe the Chinese got it right and they were just messin' with us," Hank mused. "Or they got it wrong, and something very bad almost happened. But why only one plane? Why stop there? It's a limited use of a system that is now exposed." But what can we do about it? And what a message it sent! "Cyber War"] RECALL Phase Three of the mission would have sent coded target grid coordinates and time(s) of weapon(s) release, as well as updates on weather over the area, enemy defense status and friendly escorts. Those orders never came. Instead, Phase Four was initiated. When the cockpit teleprinter spat out paper tape again, it read, in so many words: "Forget the whole thing. Abort the mission. Turn back." The only people capable of issuing a nuclear strike recall order would be the President, the Secretary of Defense, a specific designate of the SecDef authorized by special code. Or a Chinese military hacker. As Hank notes, "The plane had to be diverted to a base that could handle nuclear weapons." That would be Barksdale. But... "Live hot nukes would have tripped alarms on the tarmac when it touched down. Either they were nonfunctional on both ends , which is scary beyond belief considering what we're talking about." Or the Joint Chiefs or the NCA could have ordered the radiation sensors silenced to keep the mission-and the hijacked mission-under wraps. Or the Chinese could have turned them off. If the system is digital, Beijing probably controls it. Bottom line: if the incoming bomber had crashed approach, no one responding would have known they were dealing with a quiver-full of "broken arrows". BARKSDALE Thought the missiles were never launched, they still remain in play. As Hank worried, "Six nukes are now forward deployed to the air force base that handles Middle East ops." A former counter-terrorism expert with the CIA and the State Department shares his concern. Larry Johnson does not buy the official story that six nuclear weapons were "mistakenly" flown over the USA-not after a retired B-52 pilot reminded him. "The only time you put such weapons on a plane is when they are on alert, or if the crew has been tasked to move the weapons to a specific site." Besides running nuclear war exercises like the Global Guardian drill it ran on the morning of 9/11, Barksdale AFB deploys "heavies" to the Middle East. Like Hank, Johnson wants to know, "Why would we want to preposition nuclear weapons at a base conducting Middle East operations?" His pilot pal believes that an insider leaker tried to send up a bright red flag. Johnson asks, "Did someone at Barksdale try to indirectly warn the American people that the Bush Administration is staging nukes for Iran?" But Hank points out another problem. Cruise missiles-which are essentially autonomous, unpiloted drones-have special needs. Since six cruise missiles showing up at Barksdale were an oddity, can they be adequately stored and maintained there? The Gulf Coast is "a very different environment" than Nebraska, Hank emphasizes. How long is Barksdale going to hold onto them? In the hurricane season? "Are we going to see some of them floating out on the tide?" Hank wants to know. Americans need a big confirm that these weapons have been sent back north to a better home.

Gatto http://www.opednews.com It seems like somebody is throwing misinformation out to the Progressive community either to discredit us or to have us chase phony stories around that in effect, waste our time. I recently received information, and I see that many of us did, about the supposedly "dead" soldiers that helped to "out" the story on that B-52 that carried nuclear weapons from Minot AFB to Barksdale AFB. I heard about it from an e-mail that was sent by a good friend. Since I had just been burned by the "Amero" coin story in which I received information that the Denver mint had begun making "Amero's", I was suspicious and asked my friend to check his sources. Sure enough, my friend wrote that he had been duped again. The worst part of this saga is that he traced the story back to the same source that had released misinformation on the Amero! My source that I believe would rather be left nameless traced the original story that he got to another source. He actually called that source to find out where he got that information and it traced back to Hal Turner. The original article that wrote about the so-called "deaths" was on the Military Times website. Since Michael Hoffman wrote the article I called him today. Mr. Hoffman was very forthcoming and told me that he had two sources that told him about the story, and when he investigated it, he found that the two servicemen that perished, but that they had no connection whatsoever with the bomb-laden B-52. Mr. Hoffman also told me that he had received e-mail from Hal Turner about the article and he had advised Mr. Turner to remove the article from his website on the premise that he was disseminating fraudulent information. Apparently Hal Turner cares nothing for the truth as you can see here: http://www.halturnershow.com/index.html and that the story is still on his website. I have read a few articles, one here at Opednews.com that still maintain that the soldiers that turned the information over to the Military Times have been silenced...permanently. This is pure misinformation and Hal Turner along with all that jumped on this story should have checked their sources more thoroughly. This could have been a counter intelligence program designed to make anyone repeating this story look ridiculous. This isn't an isolated case. People that write articles should be very careful to check their sources, if at least two impeccable sources can't verify a story, that story should remain out of print until a second source has been verified.

Gates' press secretary, Geoff Morrell, says the defense chief has asked former Air Force Chief of Staff Larry Welch to lead the investigation. That's in addition to the Air Force's own investigation, which began three weeks ago. The B-52 in question was mistakenly armed with six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles when it flew from Minot Air Force Base, in North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base on August 30th. The missiles were mounted onto pylons under the bomber's wings, but the Air Force says there was never any danger to the public. Morrell says Welch will lead a Defense Science Board task force to determine whether the B-52 incident has wider implications for the military. (Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) Gates Seeks 2nd Inquiry of Bomber Mishap By ROBERT BURNS - 1 day ago WASHINGTON (AP) - Three weeks after the Air Force began investigating the mistaken arming of a B-52 bomber with nuclear weapons, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has asked for an outside inquiry led by a retired general who once commanded the strategic bomber fleet, an official said Thursday. In the embarrassing incident, a B-52 mistakenly armed with six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles flew from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30. The missiles were mounted onto pylons under the bomber's wings, but the Air Force said there was never any danger to the public. The mistake, revealed publicly by the Military Times newspapers, was so serious that President Bush and Gates were quickly informed and Gates has received regular updates from the Air Force on progress in its investigation. Gates's press secretary, Geoff Morrell, told reporters that the defense chief asked Larry Welch, a former Air Force chief of staff, to lead an inquiry into the implications of the incident. That is in addition to the existing Air Force probe headed by Maj. Gen. Douglas Raaberg, director of air and space operations at Air Combat Command, which is responsible for all Air Force bombers and fighters. Morrell said Welch will lead a Defense Science Board task force to determine whether the B-52 incident has wider implications for the military. "Does this incident reflect a larger problem with regard to the security and transfer of munitions?" is the question that Welch's group will attempt to answer, Morrell said. The Defense Science Board is a standing committee of outside experts, including retired military officers and former government officials, that advises the secretary of defense on a wide range of national security issues. Asked why Gates felt it necessary to launch another inquiry into the matter, Morrell said it did not reflect any dissatisfaction with the way the Air Force is conducting its investigation. "But I think he believes that in an incident of this nature, it's important to get to the bottom of it," Morrell said. "And he believes an outside set of eyes may be additionally helpful to, sort of, get a better sense of what went wrong and how to avoid similar mistakes in the future." An Air Force spokesman, Lt. Col. Edward Thomas, said his service's probe should be done within several weeks. "Our response has been swift and focused," Thomas said. The weapon involved in the Aug. 30 incident was the Advanced Cruise Missile, a "stealth" weapon developed in the 1980s with the ability to evade detection by Soviet radars. The Air Force said in March that it had decided to retire the Advanced Cruise Missile fleet in the near future. Welch is president and chief executive officer of the Institute for Defense Analysis, which administers three federally funded research centers that do analytical work for the Defense Department. Welch retired from the Air Force in 1990 after serving as its chief of staff. He previously was commander of Strategic Air Command, which operated the bomber fleet and was dissolved when an Air Force reorganization created Air Combat Command to operate all of its combat aircraft.

Ex-Air Force official's background Welch is president and chief executive officer of the Institute for Defense Analysis, which administers three federally funded research centers that do analytical work for the Defense Department. He also is a member of the Defense Science Board, which advises the secretary of defense on technical matters. A spokeswoman for Welch, Amy Cohen at the Institute for Defense Analysis, said Welch told her that his review of the B-52 incident was under the auspices of the Defense Science Board, but he did not elaborate on precisely what the board had been asked to do. Welch retired from the Air Force in 1990 after serving as its chief of staff.

URL: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20894747/ Mystery surrounds deaths of Minot airmen Sat, 22 Sep 2007 23:10:30 Six members of the US Air Force who were involved in the Minot AFB incident, have died mysteriously, an anti-Bush activist group says. The incident happened when a B-52 bomber was "mistakenly" loaded with six nuclear warheads and flown for more than three hours across several states, prompting an Air Force investigation and the firing of one commander. The plane was carrying Advanced Cruise Missiles from Minot Air Force Base, N.D, to Barksdale Air Force Base on August 30. The Air Combat Command has ordered a command-wide stand down on September 14 to review procedures, officials said. The missiles, which are being decommissioned, were mounted onto pylons on the bomber's wings and it is unclear why the warheads had not been removed beforehand. In addition to the munitions squadron commander who was relieved of his duties, crews involved in the incident, including ground crew workers had been temporarily decertified for handling munitions. The activist group Citizens for Legitimate Government said the six members of the US Air Force who were directly involved as loaders or as pilots, were killed within 7 days in 'accidents'. The victims include Airman First Class Todd Blue, 20, who died while on leave in Virginia. A statement by the military confirmed his death but did not say how he died. In another accident, a married couple from Barksdale Air Force Base were killed in the 5100 block of Shreveport-Blanchard Highway. The two were riding a 2007 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, with the husband driving and the wife the passenger, police said. "They were traveling behind a northbound Pontiac Aztec driven by Erica Jerry, 35, of Shreveport," the county sheriff said. "Jerry initiated a left turn into a business parking lot at the same time the man driving the motorcycle attempted to pass her van on the left in a no passing zone. They collided." Adam Barrs, a 20-year-old airman from Minot Air Force Base was killed in a crash on the outskirts of the city. First Lt. Weston Kissel, 28, a Minot Air Force Base bomber pilot, was killed in a motorcycle crash in Tennessee, the military officials say. Police found the body of a missing Air Force captain John Frueh near Badger Peak in northeast Skamania County, Washington. The Activist group says the mysterious deaths of the air force members could indicate to a conspiracy to cover up the truth about the Minot Air Base incident. The saga of a 'Bent Spear' 6 nukes fly across U.S.; no one notices for 36 hours - how could it happen? Sept 22, 2007 Just after 9 a.m. on Aug. 29, a group of U.S. airmen entered a sod-covered bunker on North Dakota 's Minot Air Force Base with orders to collect a set of unarmed cruise missiles bound for a weapons graveyard. They quickly pulled out a dozen cylinders, all of which appeared identical from a cursory glance, and hauled them along Bomber Boulevard to a waiting B-52 bomber. The airmen attached the gray missiles to the plane's wings, six on each side. After eyeballing the missiles on the right side, a flight officer signed a manifest that listed a dozen unarmed AGM-129 missiles. The officer did not notice that the six on the left contained nuclear warheads, each with the destructive power of up to 10 Hiroshima bombs. That detail would escape notice for an astounding 36 hours, during which the missiles were flown across the country to a Louisiana air base that had no idea nuclear warheads were coming. It was the first known flight by a nuclear-armed bomber over U.S. airspace, without special high-level authorization, in nearly 40 years. The episode, serious enough to trigger a rare "Bent Spear" nuclear incident report that raced through the chain of command to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and President Bush , provoked new questions inside and outside the Pentagon about the adequacy of U.S. nuclear weapons safeguards while the military's attention and resources are devoted to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan . Three weeks after word of the incident leaked to the public, new details obtained by The Washington Post point to security failures at multiple levels in North Dakota and Louisiana, according to interviews with current and former U.S. officials briefed on the initial results of an Air Force investigation of the incident. The warheads were attached to the plane in Minot without special guard for more than 15 hours, and they remained on the plane in Louisiana for nearly nine hours more before being discovered. In total, the warheads slipped from the Air Force's nuclear safety net for more than a day without anyone's knowledge. "I have been in the nuclear business since 1966 and am not aware of any incident more disturbing," retired Air Force Gen. Eugene Habiger, who served as U.S. Strategic Command chief from 1996 to 1998, said in an interview. A simple error in a missile storage room led to missteps at every turn, as ground crews failed to notice the warheads, and as security teams and flight crew members failed to provide adequate oversight and check the cargo thoroughly. An elaborate nuclear safeguard system, nurtured during the Cold War and infused with rigorous accounting and command procedures, was utterly debased, the investigation's early results show. The incident came on the heels of multiple warnings - some of which went to the highest levels of the Bush administration , including the National Security Council - of security problems at Air Force installations where nuclear weapons are kept. The risks are not that warheads might be accidentally detonated, but that sloppy procedures could leave room for theft or damage to a warhead, disseminating its toxic nuclear materials. A former National Security Council staff member with detailed knowledge described the event as something that people in the White House "have been assured never could happen." What occurred on Aug. 29-30, the former official said, was "a breakdown at a number of levels involving flight crew, munitions, storage and tracking procedures - faults that never were to line up on a single day." Missteps in the bunker The air base where the incident took place is one of the most remote and, for much of the year, coldest military posts in the continental United States . Veterans of Minot typically describe their assignments by counting the winters passed in the flat, treeless region where January wind chills sometimes exceed 100 degrees below zero. In airman-speak, a three-year assignment becomes "three winters" at Minot. The daily routine for many of Minot's crews is a cycle of scheduled maintenance for the base's 35 aging B-52H Stratofortress bombers - mammoth, eight-engine workhorses, the newest of which left the assembly line more than 45 years ago. Workers also tend to 150 intercontinental ballistic missiles kept at the ready in silos scattered across neighboring cornfields, as well as hundreds of smaller nuclear bombs, warheads and vehicles stored in sod-covered bunkers called igloos. "We had a continuous workload in maintaining" warheads, said Scott Vest, a former Air Force captain who spent time in Minot's bunkers in the 1990s. "We had a stockpile of more than 400 . . . and some of them were always coming due" for service. Among the many weapons and airframes, the AGM-129 cruise missile was well known at the base as a nuclear warhead delivery system carried by B-52s. With its unique shape and design, it is easily distinguished from the older AGM-86, which can be fitted with either a nuclear or a conventional warhead. Last fall, after 17 years in the U.S. arsenal, the Air Force's more than 400 AGM-129s were ordered into retirement by then- Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld . Minot was told to begin shipping out the unarmed missiles in small groups to Barksdale Air Force Base near Shreveport , La., for storage. By Aug. 29, its crews had already sent more than 200 missiles to Barksdale and knew the drill by heart. The Air Force's account of what happened that day and the next was provided by multiple sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the government's investigation is continuing and classified. At 9:12 a.m. local time on Aug. 29, according to the account, ground crews in two trucks entered a gated compound at Minot known as the Weapons Storage Area and drove to an igloo where the cruise missiles were stored. The 21-foot missiles were already mounted on pylons, six apiece in clusters of three, for quick mounting to the wings of a B-52. The AGM-129 is designed to carry silver W-80-1 nuclear warheads, which have a variable yield of between 5 and 150 kilotons. (A kiloton is equal to the explosive force of 1,000 tons of TNT.) The warheads were meant to have been removed from the missiles before shipment. In their place, crews were supposed to insert metal dummies of the same size and weight, but a different color, so the missiles could still be properly attached under the bomber's wings. A munitions custodian officer is supposed to keep track of the nuclear warheads. In the case of cruise missiles, a stamp-size window on the missile's frame allows workers to peer inside to check whether the warheads within are silver. In many cases, a red ribbon or marker attached to the missile serves as an additional warning. Finally, before the missiles are moved, two-man teams are supposed to look at check sheets, bar codes and serial numbers denoting whether the missiles are armed. Why the warheads were not noticed in this case is not publicly known. But once the missiles were certified as unarmed, a requirement for unique security precautions when nuclear warheads are moved - such as the presence of specially armed security police, the approval of a senior base commander and a special tracking system - evaporated. The trucks hauled the missile pylons from the bunker into the bustle of normal air base traffic, onto Bomber Boulevard and M Street, before turning onto a tarmac apron where the missiles were loaded onto the B-52. The loading took eight hours because of unusual trouble attaching the pylon on the right side of the plane - the one with the dummy warheads. By 5:12 p.m., the B-52 was fully loaded. The plane then sat on the tarmac overnight without special guards, protected for 15 hours by only the base's exterior chain-link fence and roving security patrols. Air Force rules required members of the jet's flight crew to examine all of the missiles and warheads before the plane took off. But in this instance, just one person examined only the six unarmed missiles and inexplicably skipped the armed missiles on the left, according to officials familiar with the probe. "If they're not expecting a live warhead it may be a very casual thing - there's no need to set up the security system and play the whole nuclear game," said Vest, the former Minot airman. "As for the air crew, they're bus drivers at this point, as far as they know." The plane, which had flown to Minot for the mission and was not certified to carry nuclear weapons, departed the next morning for Louisiana. When the bomber landed at Barksdale at 11:23 a.m., the air crew signed out and left for lunch, according to the probe. It would be another nine hours - until 8:30 p.m. - before a Barksdale ground crew turned up at the parked aircraft to begin removing the missiles. At 8:45, 15 minutes into the task, a separate missile transport crew arrived in trucks. One of these airmen noticed something unusual about the missiles. Within an hour, a skeptical supervisor had examined them and ordered them secured. By then it was 10 p.m., more than 36 hours after the warheads left their secure bunker in Minot. Once the errant warheads were discovered, Air Force officers in Louisiana were alarmed enough to immediately notify the National Military Command Center, a highly secure area of the Pentagon that serves as the nerve center for U.S. nuclear war planning. Such "Bent Spear" events are ranked second in seriousness only to "Broken Arrow" incidents, which involve the loss, destruction or accidental detonation of a nuclear weapon. The Air Force decided at first to keep the mishap under wraps, in part because of policies that prohibit the confirmation of any details about the storage or movement of nuclear weapons. No public acknowledgement was made until service members leaked the story to the Military Times, which published a brief account Sept. 5. Officials familiar with the Bent Spear report say Air Force officials apparently did not anticipate that the episode would cause public concern. One passage in the report contains these four words: "No press interest anticipated." How could so much break down at once? The news, when it did leak, provoked a reaction within the defense and national security communities that bordered on disbelief: How could so many safeguards, drilled into generations of nuclear weapons officers and crews, break down at once? Military officers, nuclear weapons analysts and lawmakers have expressed concern that it was not just a fluke, but a symptom of deeper problems in the handling of nuclear weapons now that Cold War anxieties have abated. "It is more significant than people first realized, and the more you look at it, the stranger it is," said Joseph Cirincione, director for nuclear policy at the Center for American Progress think tank and the author of a history of nuclear weapons. "These weapons - the equivalent of 60 Hiroshimas - were out of authorized command and control for more than a day." The Air Force has sought to offer assurances that its security system is working. Within days, the service relieved one Minot officer of his command and disciplined several airmen, while assigning a major general to head an investigation that has already been extended for extra weeks. At the same time, Defense Department officials have announced that a Pentagon-appointed scientific advisory board will study the mishap as part of a larger review of procedures for handling nuclear weapons. "Clearly this incident was unacceptable on many levels," said an Air Force spokesman, Lt. Col. Edward Thomas. "Our response has been swift and focused - and it has really just begun. We will spend many months at the air staff and at our commands and bases ensuring that the root causes are addressed." While Air Force officials see the Minot event as serious, they also note that it was harmless, since the six nuclear warheads never left the military's control. Even if the bomber had crashed, or if someone had stolen the warheads, fail-safe devices would have prevented a nuclear detonation. But independent experts warn that whenever nuclear weapons are not properly safeguarded, their fissile materials are at risk of theft and diversion. Moreover, if the plane had crashed and the warheads' casings cracked, these highly toxic materials could have been widely dispersed. "When what were multiple layers of tight nuclear weapon control internal procedures break down, some bad guy may eventually come along and take advantage of them," said a former senior administration official who had responsibility for nuclear security. Some Air Force veterans say the base's officers made an egregious mistake in allowing nuclear-warhead-equipped missiles and unarmed missiles to be stored in the same bunker, a practice that a spokesman last week confirmed is routine. Charles Curtis, a former deputy energy secretary in the Clinton administration , said, "We always relied on segregation of nuclear weapons from conventional ones." Former nuclear weapons officials have noted that the weapons transfer at the heart of the incident coincides with deep cuts in deployed nuclear forces that will bring the total number of warheads to as few as 1,700 by the year 2012 - a reduction of more than 50 percent from 2001 levels. But the downsizing has created new accounting and logistical challenges, since U.S. policy is to keep thousands more warheads in storage, some as a strategic reserve and others awaiting dismantling. A secret 1998 history of the Air Combat Command warned of "diminished attention for even 'the minimum standards' of nuclear weapons' maintenance, support and security" once such arms became less vital, according to a declassified copy obtained by Hans Kristensen, director of the Federation of American Scientists' nuclear information project. The Air Force's inspector general in 2003 found that half of the "nuclear surety" inspections conducted that year resulted in failing grades - the worst performance since inspections of weapons-handling began. Minot's 5th Bomb Wing was among the units that failed, and the Louisiana-based 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale garnered an unsatisfactory rating in 2005. Both units passed subsequent nuclear inspections, and Minot was given high marks in a 2006 inspection. The 2003 report on the 5th Bomb Wing attributed its poor performance to the demands of supporting combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Wartime stresses had "resulted in a lack of time to focus and practice nuclear operations," the report stated. Last year, the Air Force eliminated a separate nuclear-operations directorate known informally as the N Staff, which closely tracked the maintenance and security of nuclear weapons in the United States and other NATO countries. Currently, nuclear and space operations are combined in a single directorate. Air Force officials say the change was part of a service-wide reorganization and did not reflect diminished importance of nuclear operations. 'What the hell happened here?' "Where nuclear weapons have receded into the background is at the senior policy level, where there are other things people have to worry about," said Linton F. Brooks, who resigned in January as director of the National Nuclear Security Administration. Brooks, who oversaw billions of dollars in U.S. spending to help Russia secure its nuclear stockpile, said the mishandling of U.S. warheads indicates that "something went seriously wrong." A similar refrain has been voiced hundreds of times in blogs and chat rooms popular with former and current military members. On a Web site run by the Military Times, a former B-52 crew chief who did not give his name wrote: "What the hell happened here?" A former Air Force senior master sergeant wrote separately that "mistakes were made at the lowest level of supervision and this snowballed into the one of the biggest mistakes in USAF history. I am still scratching my head wondering how this could happened." (c) 2007 The Washington Post Company Subject: B-52 Nukes Were Headed for Iran: Airforce Refused -- SPECIAL REPORT -- Air Force refused to fly weapons to Middle East theater By Wayne Madsen Sept. 24, 2007 Author's website WMR has learned from U.S. and foreign intelligence sources that the B-52 transporting six stealth AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles, each armed with a W-80-1 nuclear warhead, on August 30, were destined for the Middle East via Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. However, elements of the Air Force, supported by U.S. intelligence agency personnel, successfully revealed the ultimate destination of the nuclear weapons and the mission was aborted due to internal opposition within the Air Force and U.S. Intelligence Community. Yesterday, the /Washington Post/ attempted to explain away the fact that America's nuclear command and control system broke down in an unprecedented manner by reporting that it was the result of "security failures at multiple levels." It is now apparent that the command and control breakdown, reported as a BENT SPEAR incident to the Secretary of Defense and White House, was not the result of a command and control chain-of-command "failures" but the result of a revolt and push back by various echelons within the Air Force and intelligence agencies against a planned U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional weapons. The /Washington Post/ story on BENT SPEAR may have actually been an effort in damage control by the Bush administration. WMR has been informed by a knowledgeable source that one of the six nuclear-armed cruise missiles was, and may still be, unaccounted for. In that case, the nuclear reporting incident would have gone far beyond BENT SPEAR to a National Command Authority alert known as EMPTY QUIVER, with the special classification of PINNACLE. Just as this report was being prepared, /Newsweek/ reported that Vice President Dick Cheney's recently-departed Middle East adviser, David Wurmser, told a small group of advisers some months ago that Cheney had considered asking Israel to launch a missile attack on the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz. Cheney reasoned that after an Iranian retaliatory strike, the United States would have ample reasons to launch its own massive attack on Iran. However, plans for Israel to attack Iran directly were altered to an Israeli attack on a supposed Syrian-Iranian-North Korean nuclear installation in northern Syria. WMR has learned that a U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional weapons was scheduled to coincide with Israel's September 6 air attack on a reputed Syrian nuclear facility in Dayr az-Zwar, near the village of Tal Abyad, in northern Syria, near the Turkish border. Israel's attack, code named OPERATION ORCHARD, was to provide a reason for the U.S. to strike Iran. The neo-conservative propaganda onslaught was to cite the cooperation of the George Bush's three remaining "Axis of Evil" states -- Syria, Iran, and North Korea -- to justify a sustained Israeli attack on Syria and a massive U.S. military attack on Iran. WMR has learned from military sources on both sides of the Atlantic that there was a definite connection between Israel's OPERATION ORCHARD and BENT SPEAR involving the B-52 that flew the six nuclear-armed cruise missiles from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale. There is also a connection between these two events as the Pentagon's highly-classified PROJECT CHECKMATE, a compartmented U.S. Air Force program that has been working on an attack plan for Iran since June 2007, around the same time that Cheney was working on the joint Israeli-U.S. attack scenario on Iran. PROJECT CHECKMATE was leaked in an article by military analyst Eric Margolis in the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper, the /Times of London/, is a program that involves over two dozen Air Force officers and is headed by Brig. Gen. Lawrence Stutzriem and his chief civilian adviser, Dr. Lani Kass, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who, astoundingly, is now involved in planning a joint U.S.-Israeli massive military attack on Iran that involves a "decapitating" blow on Iran by hitting between three to four thousand targets in the country. Stutzriem and Kass report directly to the Air Force Chief of Staff, General Michael Moseley, who has also been charged with preparing a report on the B-52/nuclear weapons incident. Kass' area of speciality is cyber-warfare, which includes ensuring "information blockades," such as that imposed by the Israeli government on the Israeli media regarding the Syrian air attack on the alleged Syrian "nuclear installation." British intelligence sources have reported that the Israeli attack on Syria was a "true flag" attack originally designed to foreshadow a U.S. attack on Iran. After the U.S. Air Force push back against transporting the six cruise nuclear-armed AGM-129s to the Middle East, Israel went ahead with its attack on Syria in order to help ratchet up tensions between Washington on one side and Damascus, Tehran, and Pyongyang on the other. The other part of CHECKMATE's brief is to ensure that a media "perception management" is waged against Syria, Iran, and North Korea. This involves articles such as that which appeared with Joby Warrick's and Walter Pincus' bylines in yesterdays /Washington Post/. The article, titled "The Saga of a Bent Spear," quotes a number of seasoned Air Force nuclear weapons experts as saying that such an incident is unprecedented in the history of the Air Force. For example, Retired Air Force General Eugene Habiger, the former chief of the U.S. Strategic Command, said he has been in the "nuclear business" since 1966 and has never been aware of an incident "more disturbing." Command and control breakdowns involving U.S. nuclear weapons are unprecedented, except for that fact that the U.S. military is now waging an internal war against neo-cons who are embedded in the U.S. government and military chain of command who are intent on using nuclear weapons in a pre-emptive war with Iran. CHECKMATE and OPERATION ORCHARD would have provided the cover for a pre-emptive U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran had it not been for BENT SPEAR involving the B-52. In on the plan to launch a pre-emptive attack on Iran involving nuclear weapons were, according to our sources, Cheney, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley; members of the CHECKMATE team at the Pentagon, who have close connections to Israeli intelligence and pro-Israeli think tanks in Washington, including the Hudson Institute; British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, a political adviser to Tony Blair prior to becoming a Member of Parliament; Israeli political leaders like Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu; and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who did his part last week to ratchet up tensions with Iran by suggesting that war with Iran was a probability. Kouchner retracted his statement after the U.S. plans for Iran were delayed. Although the Air Force tried to keep the B-52 nuclear incident from the media, anonymous Air Force personnel leaked the story to /Military Times/ on September 5, the day before the Israelis attacked the alleged nuclear installation in Syria and the day planned for the simultaneous U.S. attack on Iran. The leaking of classified information on U.S. nuclear weapons disposition or movement to the media, is, itself, unprecedented. Air Force regulations require the sending of classified BEELINE reports to higher Air Force authorities on the disclosure of classified Air Force information to the media. In another highly unusual move, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has asked an outside inquiry board to look into BENT SPEAR, even before the Air Force has completed its own investigation, a virtual vote of no confidence in the official investigation being conducted by Major General Douglas Raaberg, chief of air and space operations at the Air Combat Command. Gates asked former Air Force Chief of Staff, retired General Larry Welch, to lead a Defense Science Board task force that will also look into the BENT SPEAR incident. The official Air Force investigation has reportedly been delayed for unknown reasons. Welch is President and CEO of the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA), a federally-funded research contractor that operates three research centers, including one for Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President and another for the National Security Agency. One of the board members of IDA is Dr. Suzanne H. Woolsey of the Paladin Capital Group and wife of former CIA director and arch-neocon James Woolsey. WMR has learned that neither the upper echelons of the State Department nor the British Foreign Office were privy to OPERATION ORCHARD, although Hadley briefed President Bush on Israeli spy satellite intelligence that showed the Syrian installation was a joint nuclear facility built with North Korean and Iranian assistance. However, it is puzzling why Hadley would rely on Israeli imagery intelligence (IMINT) from its OFEK (Horizon) 7 satellite when considering that U.S. IMINT satellites have greater capabilities. The Air Force's "information warfare" campaign against media reports on CHECKMATE and OPERATION ORCHARD also affected international reporting of the recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) resolution asking Israel to place its nuclear weapons program under IAEA controls, similar to those that the United States wants imposed on Iran and North Korea. The resolution also called for a nuclear-free zone throughout the Middle East. The IAEA's resolution, titled "Application of IAEA Safeguards in the Middle East," was passed by the 144-member IAEA General Meeting on September 20 by a vote of 53 to 2, with 47 abstentions. The only two countries to vote against were Israel and the United States. However, the story carried from the IAEA meeting in Vienna by Reuters, the Associated Press, and Agence France Press, was that it was Arab and Islamic nations that voted for the resolution. This was yet more perception management carried out by CHECKMATE, the White House, and their allies in Europe and Israel with the connivance of the media. In fact, among the 53 nations that voted for the resolution were China, Russia, India, Ireland, and Japan. The 47 abstentions were described as votes "against" the resolution even though an abstention is neither a vote for nor against a measure. America's close allies, including Britain, France, Australia, Canada, and Georgia, all abstained. Suspiciously, the IAEA carried only a brief item on the resolution concerning Israel's nuclear program and a roll call vote was not available either at the IAEA's web site -- http://www.iaea.org -- or in the media. The perception management campaign by the neocon operational cells in the Bush administration, Israel and Europe was designed to keep a focus on Iran's nuclear program, not on Israel's. Any international examination of Israel's nuclear weapons program would likely bring up Israeli nuclear scientist Mordechai Vanunu, a covert from Judaism to Christianity, who was kidnapped in Rome by a Mossad "honey trap" named Cheryl Bentov (aka, Cindy) and a Mossad team in 1986 and held against his will in Israel ever since. Vanunu's knowledge of the Israeli nuclear weapons program would focus on the country's own role in nuclear proliferation, including its program to share nuclear weapons technology with apartheid South Africa and Taiwan in the late 1970s and 1980s. The role of Ronald Reagan's Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency Ken Adelman in Israeli's nuclear proliferation during the time frame 1983-1987 would also come under scrutiny. Adelman, a member of the Reagan-Bush transition State Department team from November 1980 to January 1981, voiced his understanding for the nuclear weapons programs of Israel, South Africa, and Taiwan in a June 28, 1981 /New York Times/ article titled, "3 Nations Widening Nuclear Contacts." The journalist who wrote the article was Judith Miller. Adelman felt that the three countries wanted nuclear weapons because of their ostracism from the West, the third world, and the hostility from the Communist countries. Of course, today, the same argument can be used by Iran, North Korea, and other "Axis of Evil" nations so designated by the neocons in the Bush administration and other governments. There are also news reports that suggest an intelligence relationship between Israel and North Korea. On July 21, 2004, New Zealand's /Dominion Post/ reported that three Mossad agents were involved in espionage in New Zealand. Two of the Mossad agents, Uriel Kelman and Elisha Cara (aka Kra), were arrested and imprisoned by New Zealand police (an Israeli diplomat in Canberra, Amir Lati, was expelled by Australia and New Zealand intelligence identified a fourth Mossad agent involved in the New Zealand espionage operation in Singapore). The third Mossad agent in New Zealand, Zev William Barkan (aka Lev Bruckenstein), fled New Zealand -- for North Korea. New Zealand Foreign Minister Phil Goff revealed that Barkan, a former Israeli Navy diver, had previously worked at the Israeli embassy in Vienna, which is also the headquarters of the IAEA. He was cited by the /Sydney Morning Herald/ as trafficking in passports stolen from foreign tourists in Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. New Zealand's One News reported that Barkan was in North Korea to help the nation build a wall to keep its citizens from leaving. The nuclear brinkmanship involving the United States and Israel and the breakdown in America's command and control systems have every major capital around the world wondering about the Bush administration's true intentions.

Wikipedia Entry on Inductance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance In electromagnetism and electronics, inductance is the property of a conductor by which a change in current in the conductor "induces" (creates) a voltage (electromotive force) in both the conductor itself (self-inductance) and in any nearby conductors (mutual inductance). This effect derives from two fundamental observations of physics: First, that a steady current creates a steady magnetic field (Oersted's law) and second, that a time-varying magnetic field induces a voltage in a nearby conductor (Faraday's law of induction). From Lenz's law, in an electric circuit, a changing electric current through a circuit that has inductance induces a proportional voltage which opposes the change in current (self inductance). The varying field in this circuit may also induce an e.m.f. in a neighbouring circuit (mutual inductance). The term 'inductance' was coined by Oliver Heaviside in February 1886. It is customary to use the symbol L for inductance, in honour of the physicist Heinrich Lenz. In the SI system the unit of inductance is the henry, named in honor of the scientist who discovered inductance, Joseph Henry. To add inductance to a circuit, electrical or electronic components called inductors are used, typically consisting of coils of wire to concentrate the magnetic field and so that the magnetic field is linked into the circuit more than once.

Soldiers Find Out The Truth For Their Use And Are Either Arrested Or On The Run Tennessee State Militia/Guard has stopped DHS armored Vehicles from Kentucky - Russians with DHS Eagle uniforms I got an email from someone who I know and is part of the Tennessee State Militia/Guard.The various units of the Tn. State Guard are listed here. Let me explain the Tennessee State Guard first. 22 Governors got together last year and created State Militia/Guards that can not be federalized as the National Guards can be. They also did this due to the Federal government taking the equipment from the National Guards and sending it over to Iraq and Afghanistan. When the Governors have requested the equipment back for the state the Federal government has said "It is too expensive to bring back." The states have had to do without equipment for any emergencies of the individual states. The governors decided they would form their own State Militias/Guards that cannot be controlled by the Federal Government at any time and they are strictly under the State control along with all the equipment purchased. The person who contacted me, did so due to my article about the DHS armored vehicles and the picture I took of one when I was in Kentucky. Here are the pictures I took. The email with this information is from someone I have the utmost respect for. Here is the contents of the email from the person who is part of the Tennessee State Militia and was at a meeting a couple of weeks ago after getting the following email from them today 3/4/13 regarding the above Armored DHS vehicles. At our last "meeting" several weeks ago, we were advised by a High Ranking Official of the State Guard that they stopped vehicles of this type coming from KY into TN. The troops were wearing very distinct uniforms for the Dept. of Homeland Security that were not recognized and the men they stopped were Eastern European, probably Russian. Apparently, there is some type of FEMA/DHS camp somewhere in Kentucky? After receiving the above email, we spoke on the phone, I wanted to find out more information about the Russian/Eastern European DHS troops that were handling the armored vehicles. During our phone conversation. The y told me that the uniforms were not typical DHS uniforms but they had Eagles on their sleeves and it was stressed these were different DHS uniforms than regular ones. The Russian/Eastern troops were not armed that were in the DHS uniforms and they were very polite to the State Militia. They were stopped from coming into Tennessee. This person told me that in Gatlinburg, Tennessee people are reporting being questioned and stopped by DHS that are Russian. I was also told that the high ranking official mentioned Kentucky FEMA camps. I wrote about how I found out the Smoky Mountains are part of the UN last year, as most of our National Parks, including the Grand Canyon, Statue of Liberty, etc. after I saw a plaque (took pictures of it) at Newfoundland Gap last year. After speaking with this person, I have to wond er if Russian UN/DHS troops are now being placed around the Smoky Mountains. I have researched and found what could be the Military installation that the armored vehicle came from pictured in the area of Kentucky, I saw them. It is The Bluegrass Army Chemicals installation of 14600 acres. That installation has 523 tons of Nerve Chemical weapons. It is also a possible FEMA camp. It has a very strange layout. All of that information is in the video. Video about the Russian Troops, DHS vehicles, 22 State Guard/Militias, Kentucky Chemical Depot/FEMA camp?, UN Biospheres: Fox News story about Obama signing an agreement with Russia in 20 11 and the Russian training in Colorado last year. Portion of article: The training is the result of a U.S.-Russian agreement signed a year ago. The objectives are to create a basic relationship between the two nations' militaries and to build an understanding about how each other's military works, including communications, Osterholzer said.That knowledge is vital in joint military and humanitarian operations such as anti-terrorism measures and disaster relief, he said. Pictures from the Russians training last year in Colorado are on this forum and this page at the bottom. Edit to add, thought - 3/5/13 7:41 Am - If the U.S. government plans on having Russian DHS troops, due to not caring about the U.S. citizens to handle the people for any unrest, due to them not believing U.S. citizens troops will follow orders to disarm the people or doing what they think needs to be done. They haven't thought this out completely. They were shocked that after Sandy Hook all guns and ammo went flying off the shelves, from my understanding they were not expecting that, they expected the opposite. They believe the Russians will shoot the people without hesitation? Well it goes the other way too. The U.S. citizens will not hesitate to shoot any Russian soldier that comes to their doors or tries to disarm the people. Remember it goes both ways... no hesitation on either side to shoot the other. The law abiding citizens of the U.S. will stand by their Freedom and Rights and will definitely stand by those rights against foreign DHS troops. WARNING TO AMERICA'S CHRISTIANS - C.I.A. ORDERS ARREST AND EXECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN THE USA WARNING TO AMERICA'S CHRISTIANS: WILL YOUR CHURCH BE NEXT??? C.I.A. ORDERS ARREST AND EXECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN THE USA On the afternoon of April 7th during Reagan's term somewhere in the Washington DC area, I spent four hours at a very secret meeting with people who were risking their lives by being there. There was a General for the U.S. Army. a Colonel from Military Intelligence, a Colonel for the U.S. Marines, a U.S. Senator, three members of the C.I.A. and a person of very high rank from the M.P.'s. The meeting produced the following information: I was shown materials stamped TOP SECRET. One document was signed by President Reagan and the other was signed by William Colby. Both documents referred to Christians as "the Disrupters." The CIA document was to the Pentagon and stated that the official Department of Justice's (F.B.I.) terminology for Christians would be "the Disrupters' Movement." The William Colby document preceded to outline a PLAN for the arrest, execution or mental rehabilitation of ALL DISRUPTERS. The PLAN proceeds as follows: "Stage One: To "terminate with extreme prejudice" (this means to execute in cold blood) ALL "disrupters" who are publicly interfering with OPERATION CABLESPLICE ("OPERATION CABLESPLICE" is the PLAN to take over all municipal, county and state governments and make them into ONE federal government over all munificent and then into a WORLD government. ) Stage Two: To arrest, either on criminal charges or on mental inquest warrants all "disrupters" who jeopardize "OPERATION CABLESPLICE" BY THEIR "FANATICAL" RELIGIOUS LIFESTYLES AND/OR THEIR "EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS" which would enable them to live outside government direction or aid under a national emergency. see Cultist Definition by Janet Reno, Attorney General USA Some stage two disrupters will have to be terminated as they can't be rehabilitated. Stage Three: The arrest on criminal charges or mental inquest warrants all those who have listened to and followed the collaborators and infiltrators. see CIA Think Tank to Head Bush Religion Initiative Plus the arrest of all collaborators. The confiscation of their wealth and property will also take place, for it is estimated that half of the wealth in the USA is in their hands. Stage three does not apply to government infiltrators or agents. Stage One is under implementation now. __________________________________________________ Reflections from a former CIA assassin/NWO agenda supporter I interviewed: "...KNOW about these concentration camps???

We were the very ones who thought them up...and before I became a Christian, I used to join with fellow Illuminati/Satanists in the CIA in lusting for that hour in which Christians would be legally arrested in America and finally terminated..." __________________________________________________ Comment from former CIA/Naval Intelligence officer: "Oh, all of us in the intelligence community know about the concentration camps in America and their purposes.

David Eells Please be very patient with me and I will share something that just may save your physical and eternal life. If you are not willing to believe only what the scriptures say concerning your relationship to this evil world and its God-ordained plan in your life, don't waste your time reading this. (Excerpt from Hidden Manna For the End Times ) When Peter used the sword to keep Jesus from going to the cross, He said, "All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." Even though the true saints will not agree with much that is about to happen in this world, they will not take "the sword" of man and break their covenant with God as the apostates and their leadership will. God's plan for His people is demonstrated by Jesus. (Jn.12:23) And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. (24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die , it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit . (25) He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (26) If any man serve me, let him follow me ; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor. As Jesus was a seed sown in the dirt of this earth, so must we be. The wicked of this world are the dirt that puts to death the fleshly husk of the seed so that the inner life may come forth and bear fruit. As a lamb does not struggle with a wolf, the seed does not struggle with the dirt but permits it to fulfill its purpose. (Lk.10:3)...I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. In God's plan wolves devour the flesh of the lambs. He uses the wicked to chasten His children. (2Sam.7:14) I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men. (2Cor.4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. (16) Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. The glory of God will be manifested in those who will "resist not him that is evil" but will "turn the other cheek" and permit the dirt to do its job. No one else can drive the nails, friend. You are unable to do it and other Christians shouldn't do it. It is God's plan to use the harlot and the beast to crucify our old man. (Acts 2:23) im (Jesus), being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay. (4:27) or of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, (28) to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass. Through death to self at their hands, the world will see Jesus in us and we will be enabled to fulfill the great commission. (1Pet.4:1) Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; (2) that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. In the days when God's people were ruled over by the Roman beast it was written: (Rom.13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the that be are ordained of God . (2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment . Though Christians are forbidden to take the mark and image of the beast, they are also forbidden to take up arms against secular nations over them. This puts the people of God in a position of weakness like Jesus when He submitted to His cross instead of fighting. (Note: Some falsely say that the U.S. is not typed in Scriptures. In Revelation, we see that Babylon is the Queen of the world, an end-time world superpower, a very rich nation that trades with the whole world. Both Revelation and Daniel say it is the head of all the nations and was called the "great eagle" in Ezekiel 17. Jeremiah 25 shows that it will bring destruction to the Middle East and then fall in what appears to be a nuclear attack from the nations. Revelation 18 says this will be in one hour of one day. Who, with common sense, would not see that this ancient eagle that was conquered by the bear is not a type of the U.S.?) Using Babylon and her king as a type of the U.S. and her President, God warned his people to submit to her as far as secular matters go. (Jer.27:5) I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto me. (6) And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon , my servant.... (7) And all the nations shall serve him .... (8) And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon , and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand . (9) But as for you (Christians), hearken ye not to your prophets , nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon : (10) for they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish .... (12) And I spake to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying,Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live. (13) Why will ye die , thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? (14) And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie unto you. (15) For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, but they prophesy falsely in my name; thatI may drive you out, and that ye may perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. Fear this warning and do not listen to false prophets who come as patriots to stir up Christians to rebel against this country . Those who do, God will destroy by the hand of this government. In this way God will cleanse His body of those that refuse to obey and go to their cross. Here is a portion of a vision and prophecy through Chuck Youngbrandt: Those who are rebellious against God will rebel against the government, including the communist's fifth columnists we have here. Military troops will have to be called out as a result. Some will repent but many will continue in rebellion. God said 90% of the rebellious and disobedient church people will die during this time. Jesus said, "Love your enemies," not shoot them, and "turn the other cheek," not make war on them. That's what those concentration camps are for, friends. They are expecting and waiting for Christians to "take the sword." Our Lord said, "All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." I am certainly not excusing the government's actions in any of this but if David Koresh had not broken God's covenant and stored up that arsenal with the intent to use it against the government, he and his followers would still be alive. Bear witness that God did not defend them . God will bring the U.S. against His people and their apostate leaders because they have ignored His covenant. (Hos.8:1) the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. (2) They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee. (3) Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him. (4) They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. In the days of Jesus we see this same type in these days. The apostate people of God were in bondage to the Roman beast for their rebellion against the Word. These stiff-necked people of God were in constant revolution against the Romans and paying a great penalty for it. (Mk.15:6) Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. (7) And there was one called Barabbas , bound with them that had made insurrection (revolution), men who in the insurrection had committed murder. (8) And the multitude went up and began to ask him as he was wont to do unto them. (9) And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? (10) For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. (11) But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. (Jn.18:40) They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. Notice that Barabbas and many with him were in prison for making a revolution against the Romans. Jesus suffered in the place of this Jewish patriot. In like manner the true body of Christ will suffer innocently because of "Christian" patriots who will revolt against the U.S./U.N. beast. In another type, Barabbas was chosen out of all the Jews that were in prison with him to be released. Barabbas means "son of the father." Because Jesus went to the cross, a remnant of these people who truly are "sons of the Father" will be forgiven and saved. Militant patriots do not understand what the Holy Spirit showed in this text, that killing Romans or Americans is " murder " and that those who steal from them are " robbers ." Remember, God did not defend almost 1000 very religious patriots whom the Romans destroyed. In 66 A.D. when the Jews rebelled against the Romans, they captured this mountain 1000 meters above the Judean wilderness. In a well-supplied, seemingly impregnable fortress, the Jews attempted for seven years to hold out against the Roman beast. In a clear type, all but a remnant of seven committed suicide and brought an end to the worldly state of Israel. "Christian" rebels in our day will, in effect, commit suicide by fighting against the beast and bring an end to the worldly state of the Church. The Timothy McVeigh's of this world are not patriots in God's kingdom. The real heroes are those who leave worldly governments up to God and choose their cross over rebelling against His Word. Like Jesus, Paul gives us a type of how innocent Christians in our day will be falsely accused as rebels and imprisoned or killed. In Acts 21:38, a chief captain said to him, "Art thou not then the Egyptian , who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins ?" Notice once again that an Egyptian, representing the old carnal man, was leading Jews to kill Romans. The "Christians" who are led of the old man today will fight against the U.S./U.N. beast. God will not tolerate those who call themselves patriots in order to rebel against this government and His Word. (Rom.13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God.... (2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment . Jesus gave us permission to "flee" like sheep before the wolves, but not to fight in the flesh as wolves. (Mt.10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves : be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves . (23) But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. Notice that this persecution will spread the Word through the cities of God's people and He will come. Praise His Name! While the carnal people of God were having their revolution against the government, Jesus and the disciples were having a spiritual revolution against them. Jesus said, "Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword (the Word). For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man's foes they of his own household" (Mt.10:34-36). Tertullus, speaking against Paul's revolution, said, "For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections (revolutions) among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes" (Acts 24:5). Jesus and Paul's revolution was to use the Word to separate the chosen from the carnal church. Neither of them had anything to do with wrestling with a flesh and blood beast system. That was the harlot's revolution. We are to be patriots of the Lord's kingdom, not the U.S. Like Jesus, " My kingdom is not of this world ." Because they would not obey Jesus, the Jews were led by their deceiving leadership to their own destruction and that of their city in 70 A.D. This was also the cause of its destruction in other times. (Ezra 4:19) And I decreed, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings , and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein. (5:12) But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon. Every beast kingdom was raised up by God to chasten and bring into bondage and crucifixion His rebellious people and so it will be with the Babylon of our day. Our warfare is not with flesh and blood men but with the demon principalities and powers that rule them (Eph.6:12). (Mt.5:38) Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: (39) but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Jas.4:7)... resist the devil , and he will flee from you. Many will fight to keep from going into captivity but only God determines if one needs this for their maturing. (Rev.13:9) If any man hath an ear, let him hear. (10) If any man for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Only God gives authority to the beast to bring His people into bondage or death. M. Cox relates a dream he had concerning these principles. I had a dream so real that every time I think about it, it becomes more vivid just as if I was there. I was sleeping in our small farm house with a few other people one night. Sometime in the dead of the night all of a sudden I heard the thunderous boom of these military helicopters and airplanes. Then this helicopter landed right beside our house. All the occupants of our house were rounded up and taken away by the helicopter, probably to prison work farms. I was just standing there amazed, thinking these people never resisted , or tried to run away . And they all acted like I wasn't there . I thought that they had forgotten me. Soon after they left, another helicopter came. They were probably told that they had forgotten one of the occupants. I was naturally scared so I hid under the bed, shaking like a leaf with my legs sticking out. The soldiers didn't have any U.N. symbol but were probably a makeshift multi-national army. A black and a white soldier had yellow torches and M-16 machine guns with them. They were looking and thrashing everywhere trying to look for me. The black soldier was looking under the bed I was under. The funny thing was I was right in front of him with my feet sticking out but it appeared he couldn't see me. Suddenly, it dawned on me that I was invisible to the soldiers. They couldn't see me. After awhile, the soldiers left frustrated at not being able to find me. I must say that the fear and terror of the situation was unbelievable. A few days later this helicopter came and sprayed this chemical and the surrounding place turned all brown. They probably had been given orders to let no survivors that they couldn't find live. Anyway, even before they sprayed I noticed that the surrounding vegetation looked brownish, maybe from nuclear fallout. Miraculously, with all this happening I was still alive and the dream ended there. Notice that God's people did not resist and only those who needed captivity were taken. We should not put it beyond God's ability to supernaturally hide those who do not need more crucifixion. If He could translate me halfway around the world, He can certainly make us invisible to the enemy. Bob Aicardi also had a dream like this. I found myself cautiously walking the floors of a very large government building, which was occupied by foreign troops, and I knew that as an American I was not supposed to be there. I was noticed by a worker, who set off an intruder alert. Down the corridor the entrance doors slammed shut and locked. As I walked up to the doors they opened and I passed through to escape. Once outside, perimeter guards were alerted and were all about. I walked through them as invisible and saw another man doing the same thing. I said to him, "Isn't the blood of Jesus wonderful?" We see that not only can God protect those who are mature but He can also give rest to those who need to submit to their cross. (Jn.19:11) Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above. Like our Lord, we are to receive everything as from God and leave retaliation up to Him. (Rom.12:17) Render to no man evil for evil . Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men. (18) If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men . (19) Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath : for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me ; I will recompense, saith the Lord. (20) But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink : for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. (21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good . Our old man wants to live by defending self and retaliating, but our obedience to these commands crucifies that carnal nature in us. Satan seeks through well-meaning people to keep us from this cross. (Mt.16:21) From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. (22) And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee. (23) But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. Notice that Peter, by the spirit of Satan was a stumbling block by trying to dissuade Jesus from going to His cross. Peter later took the sword, to try to enforce his way and again met with rebuke. (24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me . (25) For whosoever would save his life shall lose it : and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. Even when we are at our best, the hidden carnal nature must be crucified. (1Pet.2:20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted , ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer , ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. (21) For hereunto were ye called : because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example , that ye should follow his steps : (22) who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed to him that judgeth righteously. What could be clearer? We are to follow in Jesus' steps by cooperating with God's process of using the harlot religious system and the beast kingdom to bring us to the cross. We are not to resist them by force. The laws of our kingdom do not permit us to fight in the flesh to escape captivity. (Jn.18:36) Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world : if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. In the days leading up to a civil war in the midst of the One World Order, many will stand up against the U.S. as the king of the South. Included among these are some of God's people who will try to impose their vision of the kingdom of God in the U.S. by violent methods, but they will be killed. (Dan.11:14) And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall. God will not permit fleshly methods to have any success so that His people learn to walk in the Spirit. (12:7)...t shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of (self in) the holy people , all these things shall be finished. Notice that our temptation to use our own power must be crucified. (Zech.4:6)...Not by (our) might, nor by (our) power, but by my Spirit, saith Lord of hosts. War is of the world and is motivated by lust, not God. (Jas.4:1) Whence wars and whence fightings among you? not hence, of your pleasures that war in your members? (2) Ye lust , and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. Those who join with the world to make war on their enemies are enemies of the cross and of God. (4) Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God. Those who preach peace and safety, and refuse to cooperate with God in this process of falling to the earth to die will be cut off. (Amos 9:8) Behold, the eyes of the Lord are upon the sinful kingdom , and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord. (9) For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth. (10) All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us . We are coming to the same tribulation days of sifting as it was with Peter. (Lk.22:31) Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat : (32) but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not. Even though Peter initially denied the Lord, he got back up and became a strong leader who gave his old life. Satan is ordained of the Lord to sift the disciples to get the husk that is his, so that God may have the pure fruit of Christ. Here is a prophecy through Thomas S. Gibson that relates the persecution the U.S. will bring against Christianity to separate the true saints from the tares. Thus says the Lord, repent and listen to the Word of God. Note that there shall be persecutions arising in all places, throughout the U.S. and Canada, and through Europe . These nations shall rise up in persecutions against My people . It shall purge the Church. Those of Mine , that are truly Mine, who walk in power and are committed to Me, they shall stand in this persecution no matter what it brings. But listen to Me, and heed Me. For thus saith the Lord, I am God, and I am allowing this, for it shall purge My Church. For there are many that shall quickly deny Me, shall quickly deny the truth, quickly revert to a world religion , shall quickly deny the power of the Word; they deny the truth of the Word. They shall quickly deny many things, and they shall become politically correct for the day and the age that they live. For they do not want to be in persecutions and they do not want to stand against the world. They love the world, and they are part of the world, and they were never part of Me. But they have a form of Godliness in the Church, and they were in the Church, shining as Christians and looking as Christians in outward appearance, but in their heart they were not of Me. This shall purge the Church and bring to pass what I have said; I will separate the sheep from the goats ; that is, My people from the world. God is sovereign in the happenings of history in order to show us what will happen in the latter days, for, "That which hath been is that which shall be." In the time of the tribulation of Christ's day, Rome had swallowed up the people of God. Through Babylon's type we see that the U.S. will swallow up the people of God before her fall. (Jer.51:34) Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me , he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath, like a monster, swallowed me up , he hath filled his maw with my delicacies; he hath cast me out. (35)The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. Because the U.S. will try to save herself by sacrificing God's lambs on the altar of religious unity and political correctness, God will take vengeance on her. (36) Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry. (37) And Babylon shall become heaps , a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant. ... (41) How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized ! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! (42) The sea (of men) is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. (43) Her cities are become a desolation. Please also listen to the audio series Honor the king? and How Shall We Die? and read Torment to Those Who Fight Back . THE MILITANT APOSTATES REBEL (excerpt from Hidden Manna For the End Times ) God is raising up this beast kingdom to crucify us as their forefathers crucified our Master. At the same time, the beast will purge Christianity of those who refuse to go to their cross of death to self. At first you may think I am wrong about this but if you will bear with me you will be overwhelmed with proof from God's Word. Christians constantly send me e-mails about the conspiracies of the government and the leaders. Most of this is "he said that she said" stuff with no real proof. Unsubstantiated accusations are just gossip and forbidden by God's Word. According to Law no one can be accused without two or three witnesses. Witnesses see and know personally. We shouldn't accept accusations against a government or person without witnesses, earthly or heavenly. The devil is being permitted by God to stir up conspiracy theories so that paranoid, disobedient Christians will fight this government and be destroyed. The Lord said to me, "Spirits of paranoia will stir up Christians to fight against this country. In this way I will cleanse my Church of those that refuse to obey and go to their cross." Conspiracy theorists are the prime spreaders of this paranoia. (Isa.8:11) For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, (12) Say ye not, A conspiracy , concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear , nor be in dread . (13) The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread . You ask, "But David, what about the Illuminati conspiracy that has taken over our government to bring war and the New World Order?" Fear "him who worketh all things after the counsel of His will" (Eph.1:11). The Illuminati are nothing without God's permission. They and many others like them are sent by God to deceive those who do not love truth and to judge those who need it. Therefore, we are to permit them to cleanse the body. (2Thes.2:9) whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (10) and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth , that they might be saved. (11) And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: (12) that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." he lowest of men" are raised up to lead the beast to crucify rebellious Christians. We need them. (Pr.16:4) The Lord hath made everything for its own end (Hebrew: His own purpose); Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Some say, "But I know some of these conspiracies are real." I do, too, but the flesh is stirred up to fight when we think on the conspiracies, rather than the promises and the way of the cross. We are taught to study Truth rather than the evil in conspiracies because Truth has power unto Godliness, which delivers from evil. (Rom.16:19)....I would have you wise unto that which is good , and simple unto that which is evil. Those who are taught to recognize counterfeit bills don't study counterfeits because there are too many possibilities. They study the real bills. That way they can recognize all counterfeits. The Word gives us eyes to see all errors. Some waste all their time studying evil governments. All secular governments are evil just as the one in Jesus' day but He stuck to the business of the Father, taught the Word, and let patriots like Barabbas fight with flesh and blood to their own destruction. I also know that this government will persecute and crucify the saints when the time comes. I say with Jesus, "Not my will, but thine be done". If we are not willing to give up our carnal life in order to be obedient to the Word, then we will not be counted worthy of a heavenly life. Any who stir up God's people to take the sword will be guilty of their blood when they die by the sword, as the Word says will surely happen. Antichristian militant "Christians" will not stand for their rights being taken away and will fight against their governments. What do you think they will do when world law is imposed and the mark of the beast is inevitable? Civil war. States are seeing their Constitutional authority undermined by the socialistic moves of the Obama administration. Also, a litany of leftist, global U.N. treaties that were resisted by more conservative administrations are waiting in the wings to give sovereignty to the U.N. beast over families, women, children, opposing free trade, opposing democracy and Christian freedom, bringing intrusive emissions laws, etc. Obama is just the man to open the flood gates. Seeing these coming threats, conservatives in the states are flocking to introduce resolutions declaring State sovereignty as per the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution. This is an omen of coming division in the country. Conservatives, including many of God's people, have already considered armed rebellion against the U.S. government at least as far back as 2000. The Bush/Gore presidential voting fraud fiasco revealed the underlying dangerous polarization between conservatives and liberals. Radio talk shows were abuzz. Ammunition sales rose significantly as did talk of civil insurrection and state secession. Much of this was by conservatives. Congressman were openly warning of civil violence. Ammunition and gun sales began to get worse when the Obama team immediately took the country in a sharp left turn. Clearly, the fear of where we are going and the conspiracy theories are corrupting people's minds and taking away their peace. Whether you agree with their militant thinking or not, all Christians will be blamed for these excesses. The liberal news media will gladly continue to sway popular opinion against their historic enemy, the conservative Christians. Left wing "Christianity" will, of course, join in this attack proclaiming to be the true heirs of Christ, while they sleep with the beast in their politically-correct tolerance of other faiths. What happened to the Jews in WWII will happen to the Christians and, ultimately, what happened to Germany will happen to the U.S.. The U.S. will become more antichrist and increasingly hate, persecute, kill, and bring God's carnal people into bondage. Ezekiel, as a type of the Man-child, prophesied that the apostate leadership of God's people would be brought into bondage by the "great eagle" , as a type of the U.S. He also saw and warned that part of that leadership would lead part of God's people to rebel against the "great eagle" to their own destruction. (Ezk.17:2) Son of man...speak a parable unto the house of Israel; (3)...A great eagle with great wings ...came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: (God's people were likened in Scripture to the tall cedar evergreens of Lebanon because of their properties of eternal life.) (4) he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof (the immature leadership of Christianity),and carried it unto a land of traffic (Babylon/U.S.); he set it in a city of merchants (U.N. in New York) . The top recognized leadership of Christianity along with leadership of other religions will be given a position of authority as a corporate false prophet over the United Religions harlot. (5) He took also of the seed of the land (God's people), and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters.... God's people will be put "beside many waters " , which are the peoples of the world depicted by the "many waters" that the harlot sits upon in Revelation 17:1,15. Therefore the people of God, righteous or apostate, will be put under the authority of the harlot as it was in Jesus' day. (6) And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature (the harlot cannot overcome to lift herself from the earth), whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him : so it became a vine . The false prophet leadership of the harlot will rule with the ten kings as the little horn among the ten horns in the U.N. beast under the "great eagle" , the U.S. The Lord confirms this interpretation in the text. (12) Say now to the rebellious house... Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon . The nations with the U.S. "great eagle" at the head will confirm a covenant with this false prophet leadership of God's New Testament people, uniting them with the false religions in the U.N. in New York. (13) And he took of the seed royal , and made a covenant with him ; he also brought him under an oath , and took away the mighty of the land. Notice in these verses that the king and all of the princes of Israel were called "him" meaning they are a corporate False Prophet. This covenant will be hidden from the apostates and their leaders. They will fulfill the type of the Jews in Jesus' day, who didn't realize that they had made a covenant with the beast to crucify the saints. To keep the peace, the Roman beast gave the apostates authority over the saints. History repeats. The strong delusion of the letter of the Word has already convinced the false leadership of Christianity of a fairytale covenant between a man called the antichrist and the letter Jews. Meanwhile the real covenant will be fulfilled in the spirit under their noses. To them this could not be the covenant because they have not yet been raptured and their antichrist hasn't shown up. This covenant with the beast will make God's apostate people preach an even more impotent gospel, because it is a covenant of tolerance for all false religions and all sinners in a vain effort to bring peace to the world. (14) hat the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand. The apostates will be permitted to stand in the world as the base kingdom of the religious harlot. We just saw the word "covenant" mentioned in verses thirteen and fourteen. It was at this point in my revelation that the Spirit said to me, "From the first mention of the word 'covenant' in verse thirteen count. How many verses does the word 'covenant' cover?" Thirteen is the number in Scripture that stands for apostasy and rebellion. Including verse thirteen, the word "covenant" covers seven verses (13-19). I was impressed that this represents the seven years of the covenant of the beast in the Tribulation. Then I heard, "How many times is the word 'covenant' spoken in those verses?" "Covenant" is mentioned six times in these seven verses. Six is the number of man and of the beast. As we saw, the six th book, six th chapter, six th verse and six th word of the New Testament is "man" ( Rom . 6 : 6 ). It was at this point the Spirit directed me to count, "How many verses before the "covenant" is broken?" In the "midst" of the fourth verse the words " covenant he brake " are spoken. (16) As I live, saith the Lord, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he (apostate leadership) brake , even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. This also is in the "midst of the seven" verses, which is a quote from the Hebrew in Daniel 9:27. "And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one seven : and in the midst of the seven (Hebrew) he (beast) shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease." Notice in these two verses that the apostate rebel leadership of God's people will break the covenant so the beast will cause the " sacrifice " to cease. At the time when the crowns of authority will be taken from the seven heads and given to the ten horns, the beast will make the mark compulsive. This will be a vain attempt to enforce peace by identifying those who are in covenant with the beast and those who are enemies and/or commit crimes. This will cause both true Christians and militants to be enemies of the state. The U.S. already has created the literal mark and is exporting it to the world. The U.S. will use their persuasion over the beast kingdom to make the mark compulsive in the midst of the Tribulation. Many apostate Christians will take it and become reprobated. What is left of their life of submitting their "bodies a living sacrifice , holy, acceptable to God" will cease as an "abomination that maketh desolate". In this same text we see the nature of this rebellion which breaks the covenant of peace. (15) But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt , that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape ? This covenant is broken when the rebellious people of God, who were told by God to submit to Babylon, as we shall see, instead went to another "great eagle with great wings", Egypt, for strength to fight with arms against her. (Ezk.17:7) There was also another great eagle with great wings and...this vine did bend its roots toward him . Notice that the same terminology is given to describe a second eagle. This is because both of these great eagles represent the U.S. Foolish Christians in the U.S. will go down to Egypt to fight with her when they see their rights being taken away or, for some, when they see the mark coming. What does Egypt represent? God's people came out of Egypt and were baptized in the Red Sea where the Egyptians, representing the old man, died. To go back to Egypt spiritually is to trust in the strength of the old man, the arm of the flesh. (Isa.30:1) Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit , that they may add sin to sin , (2) that set out to go down into Egypt , and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh , and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt! (3) Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. Some of God's foolish people with a conservative patriotic faction of this nation will take up arms to fight against it. This pits the "great eagle" against the "great eagle" , or civil war. God asked the question in our seven verse text: "shall he break the covenant, and yet escape" (Ezk.17:15)? God's answer to this question is that these rebels will be crushed: (17) Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war.... (18) For he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant ; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet hath done all these things; he shall not escape.... (21) And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword , and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and ye shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it. When Peter used the sword to keep Jesus from going to the cross, He said, " ll they that take the sword shall perish with the sword" (Mt.26:52). Even though the true saints will not obey the religious aspects of this peace covenant, they will not take "the sword" of man and break their covenant with God as the apostates and their leadership will. The last of the seven verses says this. (19) Therefore thus saith the Lord: As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own head. The righteous will keep God's covenant even if it costs them their physical life but the self-willed will rebel. After bringing apostate Israel as a type of the Christians under his dominion in the beginning of what we would call the tribulation, Nebuchadnezzar appointed the Zedekiah administration to rule over them. This is the "he" above who rebelled with a large portion of Israel. Jeremiah, who represented the Man-child, prophesied against these apostate rebels in the parable of the two baskets of figs. (Jer.24:8) And as the bad figs , which cannot be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt, (9) I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. (10) And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them , till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers. On the other, hand those who submitted to the Word of the Lord through the Man-child Jeremiah were the blessed of the Lord. (24:4) And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, (5) Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Like these good figs , so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good . (Notice that this captivity is going to be "for good" to the "good figs" who obey the Word and refuse to rebel.) (6) For I will set mine eyes upon them for good , and I will bring them again to this land (Notice Father will bring them to the New Jerusalem and land because Nebuchadnezzar had destroyed the former apostate Jerusalem and land.): and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them , and not pluck them up. (7) And I will give them a heart to know me , that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people , and I will be their God; for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. All we have to do is replace the church in the Ezekiel 17 parable of civil rebellion above with natural Israel and we see another more natural interpretation, which is being attempted now. The U.S., which is at the head of the nations, is pushing Israel hard to give up land and make a covenant with the nations around them. Israel's natural ally in the United States is the apostate Christians and Jews who militantly support her. Since this ultimately will be a political and religious covenant both of these interpretations are coming to pass at the same time. It is certainly true that the beast is forcing both Israel and the Christians to give up their land now. Beastly laws are forcing Christians out of the moral ground that they have held on issues such as abortion, sexuality, schooling, displays of Christian heritage, etc. In the U.S., this holy ground has been held since the more Christian times of the founding fathers. Eventually Israel and the apostate Christians will rebel against this covenant and turn to the militant arm of flesh represented by the great eagle of Egypt. Then they will both find themselves a burdensome stone that have something in common; the ire of the nations. Perhaps this is God's plan to infuse more Christian influence into Israel so that the elect among them will be saved and come out. http://www.ubm1.org/?page=swordorcross http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f8f_1362764684 Vegas Street Prophet GUILLOTINES REAL!
