Hezbollah and regime media were quick to claim major advances, confidently predicting that the town would fall swiftly. These pronouncements have proven premature. The attack on al-Qusayr has been long in the making. Assad's forces, limited in manpower, are now acting more in concert with irregular sectarian militias trained by Iran. But the string of tactical gains in the Homs countryside, starting in April and leading to the current battle in al-Qusayr, is tied directly to Hezbollah's lead role in spearheading ground operations. As it became clear that the Syrian opposition was putting up fierce resistance, Hezbollah began adjusting its story about the battle for al-Qusayr. The group was now making it known that it was sending in reinforcements from its elite units, and that the fighting might last at least another week. More troublesome for Hezbollah, however, was the news about the severe losses its units were sustaining, with casualty numbers ranging from 30 to 40 dead after the first day of fighting alone. By Tuesday, Syrian activists in al-Qusayr were claiming another 25 dead Hezbollah fighters. This, of course, is not counting those who had been killed prior to the latest assault, going back to last year. The number and make-up of the casualties raise some interesting questions about Hezbollah's fighting force post-2006. It is generally estimated that Hezbollah lost 500-600 soldiers during the July 2006 war with Israel. Not only was that a high percentage of its regular fighting force - thought to be anywhere around 2,000 men at the time - but also, it represented a loss of operational memory, as many of those fighters had gained combat experience against Israel and its proxy (the South Lebanon Army) in southern Lebanon. Some observers at the time maintained that many of Hezbollah's best fighters "never saw action" in 2006, as local village fighters, and not Hezbollah "regulars," handled much of the defense. But this was mainly party propaganda attempting to put a brave face on what was by any measure a major blow to the resistance. It's been reported since that, after the war ended, Hezbollah embarked on a major recruitment effort, and sent new recruits to Iran for training in order to rebuild its elite units. These new members, however, have not seen actual combat. Judging from the death notices of Hezbollah fighters in al-Qusayr and Damascus, many of them seem to be in their early to mid-20s. In other words, these are fighters unlikely to have participated in the fighting in 2006, and who are part of the post-2006 recruitment drive. Accompanying these untested fighters are older experienced fighters and unit commanders, several of whom have been killed as well, as obvious from the various posters of the fallen released by the group. Last year, for example, one such senior military commander, Ali Nassif (Abu Abbas), was killed near al-Qusayr. Shimon Shapira, an authority on Hezbollah and a retired Brigadier General now at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, thinks that there are several hundred Hezbollah fighters in Syria, "most of them from the elite units." This description fits with what some local sources in Dahiyeh have told NOW Arabic about the Hezbollah soldiers in Syria. However, these sources applied that description to the young fighters who are trained but not battle tested. Shapira explains that these younger soldiers "are well trained, some of them in Iran, and are considered elite in Hezbollah standards" - the operative words here being "Hezbollah standards." In other words, as noted earlier in reference to the 2006 war, while there has been a tendency, carefully nurtured by Hezbollah, to mythologize the outfit's elite fighters, their capabilities should be kept in perspective. What, then, does it mean that Hezbollah is now sending "elite" units to reinforce its fighters in al-Qusayr? Does it mean more of the same younger, untested fighters? Or does it mean sending even more of the experienced, if older, soldiers? Each option exposes a different set of vulnerabilities. A high casualty rate of newly trained "elite" fighters, recruited to replace those killed in 2006, means a waste of precious time and resources. The loss of even more battle-hardened soldiers, on top of the 500-600 from 2006, means further loss of operational memory and combat experience in the party's fighting corps. If the casualty rate stays this high even for another week, it could prove devastating. For instance, according to a party official who spoke to the Kuwaiti al-Rai , many of those killed on the first day in al-Qusayr were cut down by landmines and IED's prepared by the Syrian rebels. A Lebanese source who follows the group closely says that a company of 200 Hezbollah fighters attempted the initial assault but ran into the hidden explosive devices, resulting in the high death toll. The source reveals that the Syrians received assistance from certain Palestinian factions in planning the defense of the town. Already, prior to the latest onslaught on al-Qusayr, Hezbollah's former secretary general, Subhi Tofeyli, stated that the group had lost 138 members in Syria. Shapira believes that "from the hundreds" they have deployed, "they have lost over 200. Some are commanders, over 30-35 years of age." As many as 65 - ten percent of the total lost in the 2006 war - were killed in just two days of fighting. There's another key issue to consider: Even if in the end Hezbollah manages to take the town, it remains unclear who would hold it. Indeed, this has been a problem for the Assad regime throughout the two-year conflict: Assad forces can capture ground from the rebels but they don't have enough manpower to hold it. The likelihood, then, of a renewed Hezbollah engagement in al-Qusayr further down the road is likely - provided the rebels continue to receive steady shipments of ammunition and are able to secure supply lines. The severity of this overall picture explains why Hezbollah's chief Hassan Nasrallah had to travel to Tehran and meet with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani. There, he was reportedly told to go all in, regardless of the cost. It was Iran's call. After all, not only were these fighters trained in Iran, but also they were prepared in order to serve in the next ground war with Israel. In fact, over the last three years, Hezbollah has been putting out leaks in the media about its intention to have its commando infantry units go on the offensive and take the fight to northern Israel in any future conflict. By publicly taking the lead in the assault operations in Syria, Hezbollah was to show its military capability to decisively and swiftly win battles - first in al-Qusayr, then on other fronts in the country. The problem for Iran, however, is that, regardless what happens next in al-Qusayr, the performance of Hezbollah's elite forces is signaling the opposite of the message Iran sought to communicate. As more of the group's elite units are called up from Lebanon to reinforce their comrades in Syria, Iran has to be concerned about more than just seeing its strategic weapons caches blown up by Israel. It also has to be worried about how Hezbollah's vulnerabilities are being exposed not by the IDF, but by Syrian rebels that the Party of God was supposed to dispatch easily. If the Iranians have overestimated Hezbollah's capabilities against an adversary like the Free Syrian Army, one wonders what else about their power they've misjudged. ------------------------- ------------------------- Hezbollah's Fallen Soldiers BY PHILLIP SMYTH, MAY 22, 2013, Foreign Policy Magazine Hezbollah is throwing its men into battle in the Syrian city of Qusayr, and many are returning to Lebanon in coffins. Through their funerals and commemorations posted on pro-Hezbollah Facebook pages, we are now getting a sense of the casualties that the self-proclaimed "Party of God" is suffering as it joins the Syrian conflict on the side of President Bashar al-Assad. Despite Hezbollah's obscuring of facts surrounding their dead, it is clear their supporters know these men met their end in Syria. Chants of "Labayka ya Zaynab" ("We are here for you, O Zaynab") are ubiquitous at funerals for Hezbollah's martyrs. The highly sectarian and mantra-like chant references the Zaynab mosque in Damascus, an important Shia shrine near Damascus and a gathering point for pro-Iranian foreign fighters in Syria. Qusayr isn't Hezbollah's first battle in Syria -- for months, its militiamen have also taken part in fighting around the Zaynab shrine . While in Damascus, Hezbollah members tend to operate under the moniker of a group called Liwa Abu Fadl al-Abbas (LAFA). The group is comprised of fighters from throughout the Shia world, the vast majority coming from Iranian proxy parties in Iraq and from Hezbollah. The group takes its name from a legendary Shiite fighter who was martyred during the Battle of Karbala , a central event in Shiism. Hezbollah's dead are often also claimed by LAFA on their wide network of Facebook pages. When a Hezbollah fighter is killed, the party often releases a photograph of the militiaman when he was still living. Their posters sometimes feature the Zaynab shrine's golden dome in the background. Hezbollah's semi-official Facebook announcements tend to offer the best information of the circumstances of a fighter's death: Some photographs are posted with a caption reading " defending Sayyida Zaynab" or "martyred during the sacred defense." Sometimes, there is enough publicly available information about a fallen Hezbollah militiaman to reach a conclusion about where he was fighting at the time of his death. The case of Hezbollah's "Haidar" Ali Jamal Jishi presents the perfect case where cross-referencing on YouTube, Facebook, and official Hezbollah pages established, without a doubt, that he was operating in Damascus. In one video, Jishi is seen firing a recoilless rifle in Damascus's Midan neighborhood. Semi-official Facebook announcements of his death said he died "defending Sayda Zaynab." Jishi was also pictured fighting in an urban area, and some of his martyrdom posters feature the gold dome of the shrine. However, Jishi's case is a rarity -- in most cases, it is difficult to determine with any degree of certainty where a Hezbollah fighter died. Other death notices suggest strongly that Hezbollah fighters were killed in Qusayr. One of the deceased fighters, Muhammed Fouad Raba', was pictured in an April 15 photo with what appears to be a Syrian military ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft gun. The photo's date also coincides with the beginning of the joint Syrian military-Hezbollah assault on Qusayr. Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah has explained his party's involvement in Syria by saying that it is an ad hoc effort by fighters from areas bordering the conflict zone to protect Shia villages within Syria. But the information coming to light about the dead belie that claim: Hezbollah's slain fighters come from a diverse set of locations within Lebanon, from towns in the central Beqaa to southern Lebanese towns on the Israel-Lebanon border. While burials of the Hezbollah fighters occur in these villages and towns, it is still hard to gauge where exactly they were living in Lebanon prior to the fighting in Syria, as funerals are generally held in those areas from where their families originated. Another narrative, primarily one emerging from pro-rebel sources, was that Hezbollah was mainly losing young men. This too appears to be incorrect: While ages of those killed are very rarely posted by any Hezbollah-affiliated source, a number of older members have been killed in Syria. Ahmed Kamal Khurees , a Hezbollah fighter from the southern Lebanese town of Khiam, sports a white beard in his martyrdom photo. Fadi Muhammed Jazar , a Hezbollah member --and possible commander -- who served time in Israeli prisons and was released during a 2004 Hezbollah-Israel prisoner exchange, was no youngster. Ibrahim Husayn , reportedly a Hezbollah commander, was also an older fighter. The presence of veteran fighters in Syria underlines the importance of this campaign for Hezbollah. As fighting around Qusayr continues and announcements of new deaths flood in, one thing is certain: Hezbollah's involvement in Syria will only continue to grow. The group's slain fighters will now find graves in the soil of Lebanon, and on pages commemorating their life and death on Facebook.

Mayweather signed a six-fight, 30-month contract with Showtime in February - likely his final contract - and he started it off on the right foot with a win in Las Vegas Saturday night - 05-04-2013. He won a unanimous decision, with all three judges seeing it 117-111, to keep his WBC welterweight title. Though Guerrero's trainer and father Ruben Guerrero shouted at the conclusion, "He ran like a chicken, baby," it was a masterful boxing performance by Mayweather. Guerrero tried to pressure Mayweather, but Mayweather had none of it. Guerrero had some success pinning Mayweather in the corner in the first two rounds, but after that, Mayweather used his lateral movement and a laser accurate right hand to pummel Guerrero. He landed more than 60 percent of his power punches and was never in danger. Only Guerrero's solid chin kept him from being stopped. He repeatedly took clean, hard shots from Mayweather. Mayweather said he was injured in the middle of the fight, but he didn't show it. He landed 195 of 476 punches and landed 153 of 254 power shots. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c25_1367753284 Tigerwoods Looks like another Win for Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero Win for Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero Fri, 03 May 2013 13:23:19 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=aad_1367601547 Detroit Iron May 3, 2013 By Kevin Sullivan The story goes something like this: During the Iran - Iraq War, faced with an invading Iraqi army, the outgunned and overwhelmed Islamic Republic of Iran eventually resorted to "human wave" attacks in order to sweep for land mines and absorb Iraqi heavy artillery. The ruling mullahs embarked on a variety of indoctrination campaigns both in public and on the pulpit to mobilize Iran's faithful out to the front lines. In order to entice Iranians to volunteer -- or, in some cases, to volunteer their children -- promises of eternal peace and pleasure in the afterlife were guaranteed. "Plastic keys, ostensibly good for opening the door to heaven, and to erotic and culinary delights, were ... given to these young men, who walked to their deaths," wrote Stanford University's Abbas Milani in a 2007 essay for Boston Review. The Iranian government was "so certain" that these martyrs would be sacrificed, explained Iran watcher Michael Ledeen back in 2008, "that these little children were provided with plastic keys that were said to open the gates to paradise." Thus we have the legend of the paradise keys. Many Mideast analysts and observers -- yours truly included -- have referenced these keys throughout the years. In some tellings these keys are said to have been made of plastic -- in others, brass or gold -- and imported from either China or Taiwan . So pervasive is the keys story, that they have even made appearances in relatively obscure (and somewhat disturbing, NSFW) punk and folk songs. Just one problem: There is virtually no photographic or video evidence that these keys ever existed. I contacted several trusted Iran experts and analysts, and while none were willing to outright reject the validity of the paradise keys story, none had ever seen one, nor could they say with certainty that they ever truly existed. Upon first appraisal, this might strike someone as rather odd. For a country believed by many to be bent on martyrdom and sacrifice, you would think, said Mideast analyst Meir Javedanfar, that the ruling mullahs would have gone out of their way to preserve and promote these artifacts. "While it is possible that such keys existed," said Javendanfar, "the fact that there is no visual verification of them gives credibility to those who question their existence." Or does it? After all, one obvious answer as to why these keys are so hard to come by is that so few of their original owners -- often young boys and older men -- survived long enough to boast about their war souvenirs. As Reuel Marc Gerecht of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies put it, "many of these folks lived to die." Indeed -- though concrete casualty numbers are difficult to come by -- we know that thousands of Iranian volunteer soldiers ( Basijis ) marched to their deaths in that long, bloody war of attrition with Iraq. The last thing these martyrs were likely concerned about was the preservation of the one-way ticket around their necks. And that, to analysts like Gerecht, is the more salient point. While the gruesome nature of the Iran-Iraq War would ultimately turn many would-be martyrs away from the cause, it's the ones who didn't walk away from Iran's revolutionary ideology after the war, according to Gerecht, who should worry us. "A fraternity of death developed. One of the reasons that some of the senior IRGC are so scary," explained Gerecht, the former CIA case manager, "is that they survived the war and walked away still white hot. As if their survival had been vouchsafed by God." It's with that in mind that many Iran experts say this regime cannot and should not be contained. If, after all, the upper echelons of today's Islamic Republic were forged in the blood and sacrifice of the war against Iraq, then who's to say those same true believers wouldn't use a nuclear weapon against Israel , or threaten America and its global assets? What's to prevent that "death cult" from martyring the entire state of Iran? There is, however, reason to believe that even Iran 's elite Revolutionary Guard can be targeted and contained. Setting aside the guard's messianic reputation, it is, by most measurements, an organization in search of the world's more sublunary pleasures . The afterlife may be a paradise, but the here and now has been pretty good to the IRGC. Moreover, even if we were to assume the worst about Iranian war tactics back then, national fratricide certainly isn't unique to the Islamic Republic. As Matthew Duss of the Center for American Progress noted in a 2011 article for Foreign Policy , two 20th Century regimes that actually did martyr millions of their own citizens -- China and the Soviet Union -- still posed a mostly terrestrial and containable challenge to Western policymakers. That the newly-empowered mullahs appealed to Iranian patriotism -- and fear -- in order to mobilize poorly-trained civilians to the front lines is important and noteworthy, but so too is understanding the besieged Iranian mindset at the time of the war. An Iraqi dictator with imperial ambitions -- left mostly to his own devices by the international community, and aided by much of the West -- declared war on a society already in revolutionary flux. As the eight-year-long war went on, neighboring Arab regimes -- due in no small part to Iranian instigation and terrorism in the Gulf and the Levant -- coalesced around Saddam Hussein's Baathist regime -- and against Tehran. Desperate nations have resorted to desperate (and questionable) war tactics throughout history. So what makes this particular regime so different? This, according to analysts like Duss, is why the paradise keys matter. "For U.S. hawks," said Duss, "the keys function as a distillation of that 'martyr state' theory, a physical representation of Iran's 'irrational' religious ideology." Such efforts to dehumanize an enemy can prove doubly effective, says Duss, when the slaughter of children -- possibly against their will -- is offered in addendum to the plastic keys tale. In other words, the paradise keys tend to say less about the tactics and intentions of modern-day Iran, and more about the Iran debate in Washington and other Western capitals. "The keys fall into the legend category," said Iranian-American journalist and author Hooman Majd, "but with enough circumstantial evidence to make it more than just a myth." Though he has never personally seen one of these keys, Majd has heard the story enough to believe they likely existed -- perhaps handed out only in certain circumstances, and by only certain mullahs. So is the story true? Maybe. All wars have their share of exaggerated legends and tales rooted in shades of truth. Interpretations of how one side chose to win or lose a war -- as demonstrated in the recent Yasukuni Shrine controversy -- can have a lasting effect on foreign policy and relations years after the final shots have been fired. In the case of Iran, how the country chose to fight and defend itself in the Iran- Iraq War still holds policy ramifications to this day. Rational regimes can be contained, but can an irrational one? That is the more pressing question, keys or no keys. Editor's Note: Have you ever seen or owned a paradise key? Email me and tell us your story. Kevin Sullivan is editor of RealClearWorld.

I knew it was 6 o'clock because there was a clock on the dresser, next to a copy of the Bible, and I'd been lying in bed since 2 o'clock looking at it. The phone had rung all night, friends from Philly and Montana and Tennessee telling me that Howard Cosell had painted Randall Cobb as some kind of a freak of nature on national television. I didn't know what to say, except it would catch up with Howard later. I did mention that it was a measure of Howard's depth that he has no trouble enunciating the bravery of television actors who compete, despite pulled muscles, in a tug of war in "Battle of the Network Stars," and couldn't see any of that in staying in the ring with Larry Holmes for 15 rounds. Yes, Randall took a pounding. No, he didn't quit. The only other man Holmes has failed to knock out since he became champion was Trevor Berbick, but-as Holmes would tell me later in the day-Berbick wasn't fighting, he was just trying to survive. "Fifteen rounds, after all the shots," Holmes would say, sounding like he was remembering it from a long time ago, "Cobb was still tryin' to win the fight. He fought me harder than anybody." I got up off the bed and opened the door. "I knew an ambitious young businessman like yourself would be an early riser," he said, coming in. "All of us are early risers." One of his eyes was swollen half shut, there were six small stitches in the lid of the other one. He sat down on the bed and looked out the window at the Astrodome. It was still raining in Houston, as far as I knew it always had been. "Are you hurt?" I said. I'd walked with him back to the dressing room after the fight, but I left when he and his trainer George Benton started talking about the next one. I think a lot of George Benton, but I didn't want to hear about any more fighting then. "It looks a lot worse than it is," he said. "I don't know why, usually it's worse than it looks. No, I'm fine, except my ears." Randall always gets an ear infection after a fight. He hit himself on the side of his head, like a kid who has been in a swimming pool. I said, "If something comes dripping out of there I'm going to lock myself in the bathroom." He smiled and looked at the television. I'd left it on, trying to sleep. It was a Kung Fu rerun, David Carradine remembering the advice of his old dime-eyed teacher on how to disarm a troop of drunk and insensitive American cavalry troops. "You must listen to the color of the sky," he said, "and see the sound of the hummingbird's wing." "You think I need a blind trainer?" he said. "He did have a right hand," I said, meaning Holmes. "I didn't think it was that fast," he said. He looked out the window again. "I didn't think he was that good. It was like an advanced game of tag in there. " And then a few minutes later, "Larry is a bad bitch in a game of tag." There was a tiny, unstitched cut about an inch under his left eye, where so many of the right hands had landed, and as he spoke it leaked watery blood down his cheek. The cut must have gone all the way into a tear duct, and his face, on that side, was streaked with two long, bloody tears. "Did I tell you about Hagerman, New Mexico?" he said. "Me and my brother Marty dug ditches there for the high school gymnasium one summer. The dirt was so hard you couldn't dig it without a pick, the hottest dirt in the world. You couldn't walk on it with bare feet. I know, I tried and Marty had to come save me, pick me up. "And every morning three members of the city council were out there, looking down into the ditch where me and Marty were digging. It would be 102 degrees by 8 o'clock, going to 114. And the first one would always say, 'Hot enough for you?' and the second one would say, 'Whatchu doin'?' "And me and Marty were so competitive, we'd stand out there all day, tryin' to see who could shovel more dirt, watchin' each other so you could say, 'Ha! I shoveled four of these while you only shoveled three.' And the water had the worst taste of anyplace I ever been. It was something in the ground, gave everybody in town gas. You can imagine what the town smelled like. "And when me and Marty complained about the water, they always said, 'You keep diggin', and it'll taste good.'" He dabbed at the blood on his face. " The city council's probably still there," he said. "Gettin' together right now over at the gym, and one of them says, 'Hot enough for you?' and the other one says, 'Whatchu doin'?' And they all stand around, passing the worst gas in North America, wondering how come the town doesn't grow." He looked back out the window again. I got some coffee and Cokes from room service, and we sat like that in the room until noon, talking about Larry Holmes' right hand and Hagerson, New Mexico, and what could have been underneath it to make the dirt so hot and the water so bad. At noon I had to leave to get a plane back to Philly. He said he was thinking of taking a look at Australia. "Are you hurt?" I said. He shook his head no. "It was just an advanced game of tag," he said, "and Larry won." A fresh bloody tear came out of the cut underneath his eye and worked its way down his face. He said, "Damn, I wish he'd wanted to fight." -- Originally published Nov. 29, 1982, as "An Advanced Game of Tag" in the Philadelphia Daily News, the column was Dexter's account of the aftermath of the fight, which was so bloody and violent that broadcaster Howard Cosell vowed never to call another professional match. "My gift to boxing," Cobb said. "I'd go 15 more rounds with Holmes if I thought it would get Cosell off football broadcasts." -- http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=942_1367275514 weldongrisham The fight that made Howard Cosell swear off boxing - Cobb-Holmes '82 Larry, Holmes, Tex, Cobb, Boxing, 1982, Houston, Texas, Howard, Cosell Mon, 29 Apr 2013 06:46:42 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5fd_1367230851 MortenHj New York Times <--- Click here for source link This is a Wahhabi terrorist uprising and have always been that. only cheerleaders in the West with their house-arabs have defended this bullshit.

April 27, 2013 Islamist Rebels Create Dilemma on Syria PolicyBy BEN HUBBARDCAIRO - In Syria's largest city, Aleppo, rebels aligned with Al Qaeda control the power plant, run the bakeries and head a court that applies Islamic law. Elsewhere, they have seized government oil fields, put employees back to work and now profit from the crude they produce. Across Syria, rebel-held areas are dotted with Islamic courts staffed by lawyers and clerics, and by fighting brigades led by extremists. Even the Supreme Military Council, the umbrella rebel organization whose formation the West had hoped would sideline radical groups, is stocked with commanders who want to infuse Islamic law into a future Syrian government. Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of. This is the landscape President Obama confronts as he considers how to respond to growing evidence that Syrian officials have used chemical weapons, crossing a "red line" he had set. More than two years of violence have radicalized the armed opposition fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad, leaving few groups that both share the political vision of the United States and have the military might to push it forward. Among the most extreme groups is the notorious Al Nusra Front, the Qaeda-aligned force declared a terrorist organization by the United States, but other groups share aspects of its Islamist ideology in varying degrees. "Some of the more extremist opposition is very scary from an American perspective, and that presents us with all sorts of problems," said Ari Ratner, a fellow at the Truman National Security Project and former Middle East adviser in the Obama State Department. "We have no illusions about the prospect of engaging with the Assad regime - it must still go - but we are also very reticent to support the more hard-line rebels." Syrian officials recognize that the United States is worried that it has few natural allies in the armed opposition and have tried to exploit that with a public campaign to convince, or frighten, Washington into staying out of the fight. At every turn they promote the notion that the alternative to Mr. Assad is an extremist Islamic state. The Islamist character of the opposition reflects the main constituency of the rebellion, which has been led since its start by Syria's Sunni Muslim majority, mostly in conservative, marginalized areas. The descent into brutal civil war has hardened sectarian differences, and the failure of more mainstream rebel groups to secure regular arms supplies has allowed Islamists to fill the void and win supporters. The religious agenda of the combatants sets them apart from many civilian activists, protesters and aid workers who had hoped the uprising would create a civil, democratic Syria. When the armed rebellion began, defectors from the government's staunchly secular army formed the vanguard. The rebel movement has since grown to include fighters with a wide range of views, including Qaeda-aligned jihadis seeking to establish an Islamic emirate, political Islamists inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood and others who want an Islamic-influenced legal code like that found in many Arab states. "My sense is that there are no seculars," said Elizabeth O'Bagy, of the Institute for the Study of War, who has made numerous trips to Syria in recent months to interview rebel commanders. Of most concern to the United States is the Nusra Front, whose leader recently confirmed that the group cooperated with Al Qaeda in Iraq and pledged fealty to Al Qaeda's top leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's longtime deputy. Nusra has claimed responsibility for a number of suicide bombings and is the group of choice for the foreign jihadis pouring into Syria. Another prominent group, Ahrar al-Sham, shares much of Nusra's extremist ideology but is made up mostly of Syrians. The two groups are most active in the north and east and are widely respected by other rebels for their fighting abilities and their ample arsenal, much of it given by sympathetic donors in the gulf. And both helped lead campaigns to seize military bases, dams on the Euphrates River and the provincial capital of Raqqa Province in March, the only regional capital entirely held by rebel forces. Nusra's hand is felt most strongly in Aleppo, where the group has set up camp in a former children's hospital and has worked with other rebel groups to establish a Shariah Commission in the eye hospital next door to govern the city's rebel-held neighborhoods. The commission runs a police force and an Islamic court that hands down sentences that have included lashings, though not amputations or executions as some Shariah courts in other countries have done. Nusra fighters also control the power plant and distribute flour to keep the city's bakeries running. While many residents initially feared them, some have come to respect them for providing basic services and working to fill the city's security vacuum. Secular activists, however, have chafed at their presence. At times, Nusra fighters have clashed with other rebels who reject their ideology. In the oil-rich provinces of Deir al-Zour and Hasaka, Nusra fighters have seized government oil fields, putting some under the control of tribal militias and running others themselves. "They are the strongest military force in the area," said the commander of a rebel brigade in Hasaka reached via Skype. "We can't deny it." But most of Nusra's fighters joined the group for the weapons, not the ideology, he said, and some left after discovering the Qaeda connection. "Most of the youth who joined them did so to topple the regime, not because they wanted to join Al Qaeda," he said, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. As extremists rose in the rebel ranks, the United States sought to limit their influence, first by designating Nusra a terrorist organization, and later by pushing for the formation of the Supreme Military Council, which is linked to the exile opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition. Although led by an army defector, Gen. Salim Idris, the council has taken in the leaders of many overtly Islamist battalions. One called the Syrian Liberation Front has been integrated nearly wholesale into the council; many of its members coordinate closely with the Syrian Islamic Front, a group that includes the extremist Ahrar al-Sham, according to a recent report by Ms. O'Bagy, of the Institute for the Study of War. A spokesman for the council, Louay Mekdad, said that its members reflected Syrian society and that it had no ties to Nusra or other radical groups. "The character of the Syrian people is Islamic, but it is stupid to think that Syria will turn into Afghanistan," he said. "That's just an excuse for those who don't want to help Syria." The Obama administration has said it needs more conclusive information before it acts on the Syrian government's reported use of chemical weapons. It remains unclear whether such action would translate to increased support for the rebels. In the past, United States officials saw the Islamist groups' abundant resources as the main draw for recruits, said Steven Heydemann, a senior adviser at the United States Institute of Peace, which works with the State Department. "The strategy is based on the current assessment that popular appeal of these groups is transactional, not ideological, and that opportunities exist to peel people away by providing alternative support and resources," he said. Mr. Heydemann acknowledged, however, that the current momentum toward radicalism could be hard to reverse. The challenge, he said, is to end the conflict before "the opportunity to create a system of governance not based on militant Islamic law is lost." Emile Hokayem, a Middle East analyst at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, framed the rebels' dilemma another way: "How do you denounce the Nusra Front as extremists when they are playing such an important military role and when they look disciplined, resourceful and committed?" From the start, the Syrian government has sought to portray the rebels as terrorists carrying out an international plot to weaken the country, and the rise of extremist groups has strengthened its case and increased support among Syrians who fear that a rebel victory could mean the end of the secular Syrian state. Many rebels and opposition activists complain about the Western focus on Islamist groups, some even dismissing the opposition's ideological differences. "We all want an Islamic state and we want Shariah to be applied," said Maawiya Hassan Agha, a rebel activist reached by Skype in the northern village of Sarmeen. He said a country's laws should flow from its people's beliefs and compared Syrians calling for Islamic law with the French banning Muslim women from wearing face veils. "In France, people don't like face veils so they passed laws against them," he said. "It's the same thing here. It's our right to push for the laws we want."

Barack Obama on the 2008 presidential election primary ballot, meaning he likely did not qualify. Fox News reports the jury in South Bend found guilty on all counts former longtime St. Joseph County Democratic Party chairman Butch Morgan Jr. and former county Board of Elections worker Dustin Blythe. The two faced accusations of petition fraud and forgery, as well as falsely making a petition. The verdicts raise anew questions about election fraud by Democrats, a subject that was analyzed after the 2012 election. Contribute to the battle to uncover wrongdoing in America's elections, and put them back on the right path. The report found vote fraud occurred in the 2012 presidential election and cumulatively was likely enough to decide the outcome. "In reality, although no single instance or aspect of vote fraud was likely enough to tip the election for Obama, the aggregate of their corrupt activities - including illegal campaign donations, taking advantage of states without voter ID requirements, military ballots delivered too late ... may well have been," the analysis said. Fox News reported that two former Indiana elections board officials who pleaded guilty said Morgan told Democrat officials and workers to fake the names and signatures that Obama and Hillary Clinton needed to qualify for the presidential race. Prosecutor Stan Levco told Fox, "I think this helped uphold the integrity of the electoral system. Their verdict of guilt is not a verdict against Democrats, but for honest and fair elections." Affidavits citing the testimony of former Board of Registration worker Lucas Burkett said the scheme was created in January 2008. Burkett reportedly was aboard the plan at first but later dropped out. Fox News reported he waited three years to reveal the scheme. Fox News notes that if revelations about any forgeries were raised during the election, the petitions could have been challenged at that time. A candidate who did not qualify with enough legitimate signatures at the time could have been removed from the ballot. State law in Indiana requires candidates to have 500 signatures from each of the nine congressional districts to qualify. But in St. Joseph County, Obama qualified with only 534. Prosecutors alleged that nine of the Obama petition pages apparently were forged, and each contained up to 10 names, bringing doubt on up to 90 names. Contribute to the battle to uncover wrongdoing in America's elections, and put them back on the right path. "If faked, could have brought the Obama total below the legal limit required to qualify," Fox News reported. Fox reported it was told by "numerous voters" they did not sign their names, nor did they authorize their names to be used. "That's not my signature," said Charity Rorie, a mother of four. "It's scary, it's shocking. It definitely is illegal." Added Robert Hunter Jr., "I did not sign for Barack Obama." WND's extensive report on fraud in the 2012 race looked at claims that Obama, in some districts, got 100 percent of the vote, questions about absentee ballots and efforts by Democrats to prevent poll watchers from observing the election. Some of the issues that were uncovered: o Seventy-five GOP vote inspectors were ordered to leave Philadelphia poll locations by Democrat poll judges. One judge was caught on audio. A court order sent them back but it's unknown what happened when they were gone. These poll locations were all within the 59 precincts where Romney received no votes. o In Philadelphia, the Community Voters Project, an ACORN clone that employs some former ACORN workers, shredded Republican voter registrations. It's not the first time they have been in trouble. o The Florida AFL-CIO threatened True the Vote and Tampa Fair Vote with legal action for submitting voter registration challenges. o Maryland Representative Elijah Cummings issued a highly publicized threat against True the Vote and Election Integrity Maryland just for checking voter rolls.

ROB THE VOTE: Obama's secret strategy for staying in power The Obama administration is widely regarded as the most lawless in U.S. history. This much you already know. Not enough votes to pass Obamacare? Bribe senators. Don't like the Defense of Marriage law? Refuse to defend it in court. Congress won't pass the "Dream Act" granting amnesty to a million illegals? Do it yourself by executive fiat. Don't want to defend America's borders? Sue states that do. Don't like congressional inquiries? Ignore their subpoenas. Click here to read more about the Whistleblower issue "Rob the Vote." Click here to read more about a Whistleblower subscription. Obama's violations are so blatant and manifold that nine states have joined together to sue the federal government for its rampant lawlessness. So, now comes election time - and guess what the Obama administration's approach is to America's most sacred and fundamental civic institution. Right: Utter lawlessness. The actions and intentions of Team Obama, if distilled into words, would be this: To hell with "the law." We're using every means possible to retain power and establish a permanent progressive voting majority in this country. Incredibly, in today's America, voter fraud has become an essential component of how Democrats win elections. This largely unreported national scandal is laid out with jaw-dropping clarity in the August issue of WND's monthly Whistleblower magazine - titled "ROB THE VOTE: Obama's secret strategy for staying in power." As "ROB THE VOTE" documents, Obama's reelection strategy - besides bribing his core constituencies in hopes of cobbling together a winning voting coalition - is to encourage, enable and empower widespread abuse of America's election system in a multiplicity of ways. After all, non-citizens, illegal aliens, felons, multiple-state voters, dead people and other ineligible voters constitute a vital Obama constituency. And make no mistake, the left's get-out-the-illegal-vote campaign is in full swing. Highlighted in one "ROB THE VOTE" report is the most disgraceful of all abuses of America's election system - the consistent suppression, disqualification and mishandling of votes cast by America's soldiers (who statistically lean Republican) who are deployed overseas while protecting their nation. Believe it or not, for the November 2010 midterm election, less than 5 percent of military voters "were able to cast an absentee ballot that counted," according to data released by the federal Election Assistance Commission. In another in-depth report in this issue, researcher James Simpson sums up the left's campaign to corrupt America's election system thusly: "Like a KGB operation, it is thorough, multifaceted and redundant. It has overt and covert, illegal and legal elements, the latter of which are designed, at least in part, to facilitate illegal activities later. It is a deliberate, premeditated, comprehensive plan to win the 2012 presidential election at all costs, and is in keeping with the organizational methods, associations and ethics of the community-organizer-in-chief, Barack Obama."

Curtin Winsor, Ph.D. The United States has largely eliminated the infrastructure and operational leadership of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terrorist network over the past five years. However, its ideological offspring continue to proliferate across the globe. American efforts to combat this contagion are hamstrung by the fact that its ideological and financial epicenter is Saudi Arabia, where an ostensibly pro-Western royal family governs through a centuries-old alliance with the fanatical Wahhabi Islamic sect. In addition to indoctrinating its own citizens with this extremist creed, the Saudi government has lavishly financed the propagation of Wahhabism throughout the world, sweeping away moderate interpretations of Islam even within the borders of the United States itself. The Bush administration has done little to halt this ideological onslaught beyond quietly (and unsuccessfully) urging the Saudi royal family to desist. This lack of resolve is rooted in American dependence on Saudi oil production, fears of instability in the kingdom, wishful thinking about democracy promotion as an antidote to religious extremism, and preoccupation with confronting Iran. Background Wahhabism is derived from the teachings of Muhammad ibn abd al-Wahhab, an eighteenth century religious zealot from the Arabian interior. Like most Sunni Islamic fundamentalist movements, the Wahhabis advocated the fusion of state power and religion through the reestablishment of the Caliphate, the form of government adopted by the Prophet Muhammad's successors during the age of Muslim expansion. What sets Wahhabism apart from other Sunni Islamist movements is its historical obsession with purging Sufis, Shiites, and other Muslims who do not conform to its twisted interpretation of Islamic scripture. In 1744, Ibn Abd al-Wahhab forged an historic alliance with the Al-Saud clan and sanctified its drive to vanquish its rivals. In return, the Al-Saud supported campaigns by Wahhabi zealots to cleanse the land of "unbelievers." In 1801, Saudi-Wahhabi warriors crossed into present day Iraq and sacked the Shiite holy city of Karbala, killing over 4,000 people. After the Saudis conquered Mecca and Medina in the 1920s, they destroyed such "idolatrous" shrines as the Jannat al-Baqi cemetary, where four of the twelve Shiite imams were buried (on the grounds that grave markers are bida'a, or objectionable innovations). In return for endorsing the royal family's authority in political, security, and economic spheres after the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932, Wahhabi clerics were granted control over state religious and educational institutions and allowed to enforce their rigid interpretation of sharia (Islamic law). Wahhabism was largely confined to the Arabian peninsula until the 1960s, when the Saudi monarchy gave refuge to radical members of the Muslim Brotherhood fleeing persecution in Nasser's Egypt. A cross-fertilization of sorts occurred between the atavistic but isolated Wahhabi creed of the Saudi religious establishment and the Salafi jihadist teachings of Sayyid Qutb, who denounced secular Arab rulers as unbelievers and legitimate targets of holy war ( jihad ). "It was the synthesis of the twain-Wahhabi social and cultural conservatism, and Qutbist political radicalism- that produced the militant variety of Wahhabist political Islam that eventually (produced) al-Qaeda." The terms Islamofascism and theofascism have been frequently misused by Westerners to refer to virtually all forms of radical Islamism, but they are fitting appellations for Wahhabism today. The sect's rejection of individual liberties, disparagement and reduction of women's rights and status, disregard for the intrinsic value of human life, and encouragement of violence against unbelievers, are unparalleled among Islamic fundamentalist movements. Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey has used the term "Sunni theocratic totalitarianism," a term that highlights both the movement's "will to power" over the most minute aspects of Muslim daily life and its global ambitions. He also notes that its adherents do not raise the banner of Islam in pursuit of specific national, political, or territorial gains. Al-Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri has sharply rebuked the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas and Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood for participating in national elections. During the 1970s, Wahhabi clerics encouraged the spread of this revolutionary and atavistic ideological synthesis into Saudi universities and mosques, because it was seen as a barrier to the threat of cultural Westernization and spread of corruption that accompanied the 1970s oil boom. Consequently, the royal family and their religious establishment looked for a cause with which to deflect the growing zealotry from Wahhabist theofascism, a danger highlighted by the seizure of the Grand Mosque at Mecca by heavily armed Islamic Studies students in 1979. The diversion that the royal family seized upon was the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The Saudis financed a large-scale program of assistance to the Afghan mujahideen , in coordination with the Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence agency (ISI) and the CIA, while funding radicalized madrassas to disseminate neo-Wahhabi ideology and literature in the sprawling Afghan refugee camps of Pakistan. They also dispatched thousands of volunteer jihadis from Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries to fight alongside the mujahideen. These so-called "Arab Afghans" dispersed to far-flung areas of the world after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1988. They pursued further victories against "unbelievers" in the name of Islam, and they were accompanied by militant Wahhabi preachers. These elements would form the backbone of al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda was initially headquartered in Sudan, but returned to Afghanistan in 1996, following the seizure of Kabul by the Taliban. This was a new Afghan force, recruited in Wahhabi madrassas and, trained by the Pakistanis. Its goal was the establishment of a model Wahhabi state in Afghanistan. The Saudi royal family revoked bin Laden's Saudi citizenship (in response to heavy American pressure), but did little to interfere with Wahhabi "charities" in the Kingdom and abroad. These entities raised money for al-Qaeda, while the religious onslaught of Wahhabism continued to receive government sponsorship and funding. Osama bin Laden is widely believed to have reached an agreement with Prince Turki al-Faisal, then-chief of Saudi National Security and Intelligence in the mid 1990s, whereby al-Qaeda would not target the Kingdom, and the Kingdom would not interfere with al-Qaeda's fundraising or seek bin Laden's extradition. In fact, Al-Qaeda abstained completely from attacks on Saudi targets within the Kingdom prior to 9/11. Terrorist attacks and clashes between Saudi police and Islamist militants have erupted erupting periodically since May 2003, after the Saudi Government began cracking down on underground cells in the Kingdom (under pressure from Washington). However, it appears that most Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist groups still respect this quid pro quo Hundreds of members of the Saudi royal family jet around the world without fear of assassination. The country's vulnerable petroleum industry has only once been targeted by terrorists, and then in a less that serious manner. In return, and notwithstanding its limited cooperation with Washington in restricting terrorist financing, the Saudi monarchy has maintained its commitment to propagating Wahhabism at home and abroad, providing the terrorist underground with a growing flood of eager recruits. Wahhabi Indoctrination "Man . . . requires proper instruction and a fortunate nature, and then of all animals he becomes the most divine and most civilized; but if he be insufficiently or ill educated, he is the most savage of earthly creatures." Plato It is estimated that well over one-third of Saudi Arabia's public school curriculum is devoted to Wahhabi teachings. Passages from Saudi textbooks quoted in the American media after 9/11 generated much controversy. One textbook, for example, informed ninth grade students that Judgment Day will not come "until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them," while another stated that it is "compulsory" for Muslims "to consider the infidels their enemy." Embarrassed by the revelations, the Saudi government purported to launch a comprehensive review of its educational curricula and pledged that all such references would be removed. Last year, however, Freedom House published an exhaustive report on the new curriculum, concluding that it "continues to propagate an ideology of hate toward the 'unbeliever,' which include Christians, Jews, Shiites, Sufis, Sunni Muslims who do not follow Wahhabi doctrine, Hindus, atheists and others." Some analysts dismiss the relevance of this indoctrination on the grounds that "conforming to an ultra-conservative, anti-pluralistic faith does not necessarily make you a violent individual," but this reasoning is fallacious. If only one percent of the 5 million Saudi students exposed to these teachings resort to violence, this would produce 50,000 jihadis. Not surprisingly, bin Laden himself denounced foreign interference in Saudi school curricula in an April 2006 audiotape. Moreover, these teachings are reinforced by Wahhabi clerics in Saudi Arabia, who advocate jihad against enemies of "true" Islam - outside the kingdom." Incitement to violence against Shiites is particularly common. In December 2006, a high-ranking cleric close to the Saudi royal family, Abdul Rahman al-Barak, denounced Shiites as an "evil sect . . . more dangerous than Jews and Christians." In November of 2004, twenty-six clerics, most of whom held positions as lecturers of Islamic studies at various Saudi state-funded universities, issued a call for jihad against American forces in Iraq. Two Saudi officials denounced the fatwa in interviews with the Western media, but no retraction was made in Arabic to local media outlets. Months later, a Saudi dissident group released a videotape showing the Chief Justice of Saudi Arabia's Supreme Judicial Council, Saleh bin Muhammad al-Luhaidan, advising young Saudis at a government mosque on how to infiltrate Iraq and fight US troops, as well as assuring them that Saudi security forces would not punish them after their return. While Luhaidan publicly retracted his statements, videotapes of prominent Saudi clerics exhorting the public to wage jihad in Iraq and elsewhere continue to surface. Exporting Hatred While Saudi citizens remain the vanguard of Islamic theofascism around the world, the growth potential for this ideology lies outside the Kingdom. The Saudis have spent at least $87 billion propagating Wahhabism abroad during the past two decades, and the scale of financing is believed to have increased in the past two years as oil prices have skyrocketed. The bulk of this funding goes to the construction and operating expenses of mosques, madrassas, and other religious institutions that preach Wahhabism. It also supports the training of imams; domination of mass media and publishing outlets; distribution of Wahhabi textbooks and other literature; and endowments to universities (in exchange for influence over the appointment of Islamic scholars). By comparison, the Communist Party of the USSR and its Comintern spent just over $7 billion propagating its ideology worldwide between 1921 and 1991. Wahhabism has made less headway in the former Soviet Republics of Central Asia, despite the fact that decades of Communist rule had weakened their traditional Islamic institutions. Several successor governments, especially the Uzbekis, have cracked down harshly on militant Islamist groups, while encouraging educational systems in the Hanafi tradition that promote tolerant and peaceful Islam. Africa is also a critical area of Wahhabi expansion, as it offers a multitude of "failed states" and communal cleavages ripe for exploitation, most notably in the Sudan and Nigeria. In all of these areas, the central dynamic is the same - it is the overwhelming wealth of Saudi Arabia that enables the Wahhabi sect to proselytize on a global scale, not the intrinsic appeal of its teachings. Throughout the world, moderates echo the assessment of Somali journalist Bashir Gothar, who writes that his country's tolerant Sufi-infused Islamic culture has been: "swept aside by a new brand of Islam that is being pushed down the throat of our people - Wahhabism. Anywhere one looks, one finds that alien, perverted version of Islam." Wahhabism in the West Wahhabi proselytizing is not limited to the Islamic world. The Saudis have financed the growth of thousands of Wahhabi mosques, madrassas, and other religious institutions in Western countries that have fast-growing Muslim minorities during the past three decades. Wahhabi penetration is deepest in the social welfare states of Western Europe, where chronically high unemployment has created large pools of able-bodied young Muslim men who have "become permanent wards of the state at the cost of their basic human dignity." This is a perfect storm of alienation and idleness, ripe for terrorist recruitment. The perpetrators of the 2005 London subway attacks were native-born Britons of Pakistani descent, recruited locally and trained in the use of explosives during visits to Pakistan. The Dutch Moroccan who murdered Dutch filmmaker Theodor Van Gogh in 2004 (for producing a film critical of Islam) was also a product of Wahhabi indoctrination. The Wahhabis have had less traction in the United States, which lacks the masses of unassimilated young people that exist in Europe. US welfare laws no longer allow able-bodied young men to have indefinite periods of government subsidized unemployment and immigrants (both Muslim and non-Muslim) tend to find a more stable niche in American society. Nevertheless, Wahhabi penetration of US mainstream Islamic institutions is substantial. A 2005 Freedom House Report examined over 200 books and other publications distributed in 15 prominent Saudi-funded American mosques. One such publication, bearing the imprint of the Saudi embassy and distributed by the King Fahd Mosque in Los Angeles, contained the following injunctions for Muslims living in America: Be dissociated from the infidels, hate them for their religion, leave them, never rely on them for support, do not admire them, and always oppose them in every way according to Islamic law. hoever helps unbelievers against Muslims, regardless of what type of support he lends to them, he is an unbeliever himself. Never greet the Christian or Jew first. Never congratulate the infidel on his holiday. Never befriend an infidel unless it is to convert him. Never imitate the infidel. Never work for an infidel. Do not wear a graduation gown because this imitates the infidel. Although Saudi-funded religious institutions have been careful not to incite or explicitly endorse violence since 9/11, they unapologetically promote distrust toward non-Muslims and self-segregation. In effect, they are trying to reproduce in America the kind of social conditions that have fueled radicalization and terrorist recruitment in Europe. While the Saudi ambassador in Washington said last year that his government was undertaking a "very intense review" of all missionary activities in the United States, it is clear that the Saudis are concerned primarily with avoiding bad publicity, not abandoning their drive to dominate Islamic institutions in America. Causes of American Inaction The Bush administration has been reluctant to put serious pressure on the Saudis to stop propagating Wahhabism, despite the enormous threat to American security posed by Sunni theofascism. There are several reasons for this. The first is American dependence on the kingdom's abundant oil reserves, which enable to the Saudis to maintain roughly 3 million b/d in spare production capacity. This spare capacity has been called the "energy equivalent of nuclear weapons," because it puts the Saudis in a unique position to compensate for disruptions in supplies from other producers and discourage price gouging - a service provided to the United States (and other industrialized nations) in exchange for protection. However, the argument that a firm public stance against Saudi propagation of religious hatred might lead the kingdom to retaliate economically is spurious. Saudi Arabia's use of the oil weapon would alienate the entire industrialized world, while threatening the relative economic prosperity that preserves stability in the kingdom. Some politicians and writers have voiced concern that pushing the Saudi royal family to curtail the Wahhabis could lead to terrorist attacks on the country's vulnerable petroleum infrastructure or lead to the collapse of the monarchy, which would produce an even worse outcome - a Saudi state controlled exclusively by religious fanatics. While these are serious risks, it must be borne in mind that most Wahhabi radicals view the monarchy (and its oil fields) as a golden goose. It is only by disguising Saudi Arabia as a 'friendly nation' that they have been able to go as far as they have in spreading their atavistic perversion of Islam. Such concerns reveal a tendency to imagine or spin the Saudi royal family as fundamentally pro-Western. Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who served as ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005, has played an important role in masking Saudi - Wahhabi realities. His personal charm, Washington Post journalist David Ignatius writes, "many American leaders and even presidents to forget that he represented a secretive, repressive Muslim kingdom that survived because it had made a pact with 'puritanical' Wahhabi clerics who despised America." Bandar was also instrumental in the growth of what Daniel Pipes has called a "culture of corruption" that renders the executive branch of the American government "incapable of dealing with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the farsighted and disinterested manner that US foreign policy requires." Pipes points to a "revolving door syndrome" afflicting senior diplomats and policymakers who deal with the Saudis in their official capacities. Very often, they have enjoyed lucrative post-government careers working as consultants for Saudi businessmen and companies, or running Saudi-financed nongovernmental organizations. "If the reputation then builds that the Saudis take care of friends when they leave office," Bandar once reportedly told a close associate: "you'd be surprised how much better friends you have who are just coming into office." Unable or unwilling to combat the spread of Sunni theofascism at its main source (Saudi Arabia), the Bush administration launched a democracy promotion campaign intended to eradicate political conditions receptive to its global spread. However, rather than building stable and less oppressive systems resistant to religious extremism in Afghanistan and Iraq, the accumulating shortfalls of American intervention in both countries have made them magnets for jihadist recruitment. The Question of Iran The Bush Administration's reluctance to challenge the Saudis after 9/11 initially encountered impassioned objections from conservative and liberal commentators alike, but the outrage has tapered off as attention has became increasingly focused on Shiite Iran and its nuclear program which is hipped by Israel. In the view of the administration, the Iranian threat to American national security not only supercedes the threat of Sunni theofascism, but supercedes it to such a degree that a more accommodating policy toward Saudi Arabia is warranted. However, while the prospect of militant Shiite clerics in possession of nuclear weapons is understandably disconcerting to many Americans, the Iranian threat is mitigated by several important factors. For all of the shrill and unsettling words of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, his government's foreign policy is driven more by Iranian nationalism than Shiite Islamism (this is evident, for example, in Tehran's support for the predominantly Christian nation of Armenia in its dispute with Shiite Azerbaijan). This is not surprising, as Iran (known as Persia prior to the twentieth century) has existed in one form or another since biblical times, while it embraced Shiite Islam just 500 years ago. While Ahmadinejad exploits Iranian nationalism to win public support in his confrontation with the West, it can easily turn against him if he were to embark on a global adventure. Wahhabi clerics may support the Saudi royal family as a necessary evil in order to protect their global proselytizing mission, but they recognize no Saudi Arabian "nation" whose interests take precedence over their agenda. Such is not the case in Iran. Furthermore, Shiite Islamism does not exhibit theofascist tendencies. Radical clerics in Iran have been responsible for horrendous abuses of power, but they do not regard non-Shiite Muslims as "unbelievers" who must be systematically purged. Basically in Islam Christians and Jews are considered as belivers and in Quran are referred to as "the people of book". Even within the Shiite world, there is no prospect of a Wahhabi-style Iranian takeover of religious discourse because unlike the Sunnis, Shiite Islam is rigidly hierarchical. Iraqi and Lebanese Shiites gladly accept Iranian financial and military support, but they are fiercely loyal to their own clerical establishments. An even greater fallacy is the widespread belief in Washington that a strong relationship with Saudi Arabia is an asset in confronting Iran. On the contrary, coddling the Saudis makes it more difficult for the United States to deal with Iran. The Bush administration's refusal to hold Saudi leaders accountable for their incitement of Wahhabi jihadists (who have murdered far more Shiites than Americans, mostly in Iraq and Pakistan) is a source of deep resentment in the Shiite world. It is no surprise that the only two major public demonstrations against Al-Qaeda in the Islamic world after the 9/11 attacks were both organized by Shiites (in Tehran and Karachi, Pakistan). It is interesting to note that the recent escalation of US - Iranian tensions has made the Saudis less accommodating about Iraq than ever before. Reports that the Saudi Government is threatening to openly fund and arm Sunni insurgent groups if American forces withdraw from Iraq are a case in point. In effect, the Saudis are signaling to the Bush administration that they will thwart any American plan to cede control of Iraq to its Shiite-dominated, democratically-elected government, while signaling to the Sunni insurgents in Iraq that they can reject American efforts to broker a political settlement and not be left to face the consequences alone. Iran has no history of direct aggression against its neighbors, and unlike Saddam's Sunni-dominated Iraq, they have never used weapons of mass destruction during invasions of neighbors or against their own people. The strongest argument for this approach lies with the extent that Iran craves recognition of its actual status as the historically authentic nation state in the Middle East. Iran has long aspired to be and probably will be the region's predominant Islamic regional power. On the other hand Iranians are the most pro American and pro west people in the middle-east, although the recent Israeli pushed American forced sanctions are damaging this view. The Road Ahead Washington will eventually have to face the reality that derailing Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons (and, more broadly, its emergence as the predominant Islamic regional power) may be impossible over the long-term, and possible in the short term only at the expense of fatally undermining efforts to contain the spread of Sunni theofascism. The United States would do better to find a mutually acceptable means of working with this reality, rather sustaining a deadlocked confrontation by conditioning its willingness to normalize relations with Tehran on the abandonment of its nuclear aspirations. US - Iranian engagement will greatly enhance American leverage over the Saudis, as well as check the threat of Sunni theofascist terrorism in Iraq and, to a lesser extent, Afghanistan. Saudi officials have urged the Bush administration not to talk with Iran because they know that a reduction in US - Iranian tensions will draw more attention to their unbridled export of Wahhabism. Reducing American dependence on Saudi oil must also be part of any comprehensive strategy for addressing the threat of Sunni theofascism. Although President Bush has expressed commitment to developing alternative energy sources, the surplus production capacity of the Saudis enables them to lower prices as necessary to ensure that this will not be cost effective for a long time. Barring radical breakthroughs in fuel technologies, an optimistic forecast would have bio fuels (ethanol, synthetic diesel and bio oil) making up to 30% of US petroleum equivalent needs by 2030. For the short to medium term future, only conservation can significantly alter American petroleum dependency. Without the billions of dollars in Saudi funds, the ideological, political, and psychological edifice of Wahhabi theofascism will begin to crumble, particularly if a concerted effort is made by the Bush administration to promote moderate Islamic institutions (a recent study by the RAND Corporation offers some insightful recommendations). Ultimately, the devil is not in the details - it is the administration's broad lack of resolve in confronting the threat of theofascism, not the lack of viable methods of combating it, that imperils American security.

By MATTHEW KAMINSKI New Haven, Conn. April 26, 2013, 6:49 p.m. ET Donald Kagan is engaging in one last argument. For his "farewell lecture" here at Yale on Thursday afternoon, the 80-year-old scholar of ancient Greece-whose four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War inspired comparisons to Edward Gibbon's Roman history-uncorked a biting critique of American higher education. Universities, he proposed, are failing students and hurting American democracy. Curricula are "individualized, unfocused and scattered." On campus, he said, "I find a kind of cultural void, an ignorance of the past, a sense of rootlessness and aimlessness." Rare are "faculty with atypical views," he charged. "Still rarer is an informed understanding of the traditions and institutions of our Western civilization and of our country and an appreciation of their special qualities and values." He counseled schools to adopt "a common core of studies" in the history, literature and philosophy "of our culture." By "our" he means Western. This might once have been called incitement. In 1990, as dean of Yale College, Mr. Kagan argued for the centrality of the study of Western civilization in an "infamous" (his phrase) address to incoming freshmen. A storm followed. He was called a racist-or as the campus daily more politely editorialized, a peddler of "European cultural arrogance." Not so now. Mr. Kagan received a long standing ovation from students and alumni in the packed auditorium. Heading into retirement, he has been feted as a beloved and popular teacher and Yale icon. The PC wars of the 1990s feel dated. Maybe, as one undergrad told me after the lecture, "the pendulum has started to swing back" toward traditional values in education. Mr. Kagan offers another explanation. "You can't have a fight," he says one recent day at his office, "because you don't have two sides. The other side won." He means across academia, but that is also true in his case. Mr. Kagan resigned the deanship in April 1992, lobbing a parting bomb at the faculty that bucked his administration. His plans to create a special Western Civilization course at Yale-funded with a $20 million gift from philanthropist and Yale alum Lee Bass, who was inspired by the 1990 lecture-blew up three years later amid a political backlash. "I still cry when I think about it," says Mr. Kagan. As he looks at his Yale colleagues today, he says, "you can't find members of the faculty who have different opinions." I point at him. "Not anymore!" he says and laughs. The allure of "freedom" and "irresponsibility" were too strong to resist, he says. His sharp tongue and easy sense of humor hearken to the Brooklyn of his youth. Born in 1932 in a Lithuanian shtetl, Mr. Kagan was raised in Brownsville, which was then a working-class Jewish neighborhood. He rooted for the Yankees on Brooklyn Dodgers turf-"everything you need to know about him," as his son Robert, the neoconservative writer, once said. He was a high school fullback. Mr. Kagan is personally warm, always tough and occasionally smart alecky. Imagine Robert DeNiro as an eminent conservative scholar of ancient Athens. He has no patience for "nonsense" or "wrong ideas." He's a guy who'll tell you what's what and that's that. Generations of faculty and students came away bruised from Kagan encounters. The tussles over course offerings and campus speech of course speak to something larger. Democracy, wrote Mr. Kagan in "Pericles of Athens" (1991), is "one of the rarest, most delicate and fragile flowers in the jungle of human experience." It relies on "free, autonomous and self-reliant" citizens and "extraordinary leadership" to flourish, even survive. These kinds of citizens aren't born-they need to be educated. "The essence of liberty, which is at the root of a liberal education, is that meaningful freedom means that you have choices to make," Mr. Kagan says. "At the university, there must be intellectual variety. If you don't have , it's not only that you are deprived of knowing some of the things you might know. It's that you are deprived of testing the things that you do know or do think you know or believe in, so that your knowledge is superficial." As dean, Mr. Kagan championed hard sciences, rigorous hiring standards for faculty, and the protection of free speech. Those who see liberal education in crisis return to those ideas. "Crisis suggests it might recover," Mr. Kagan shoots back. "Maybe it's had its day. Democracy may have had its day. Concerns about the decline of liberty in our whole polity is what threatens all of the aspects of it, including democracy." Taking a grim view of the Periclean era in Athens, Plato and Aristotle believed that democracy inevitably led to tyranny. The Founding Fathers took on their criticism and strove to balance liberty with equality under the law. Mr. Kagan, who grew up a Truman Democrat, says that when he was young the U.S. needed to redress an imbalance by emphasizing equality. The elite universities after the war opened to minorities and women, not to mention Brooklyn College grads like himself-then "it was all about merit," he says. The 1960s brought a shift and marked his own political awakening. Teaching at Cornell, Mr. Kagan watched armed black students occupy a university building in 1969. The administration caved to their demands without asking them to give up their rifles and bandoliers. He joined Allan Bloom and other colleagues in protest. In the fall of that year, he moved to Yale. Bloom ended up at the University of Chicago and in 1987 published "The Closing of the American Mind," his best-selling attack on the shortcomings of higher education. In the decades since, faculties have gained "extraordinary authority" over universities, Mr. Kagan says. The changes in the universities were mirrored in the society at large. "The tendency in this century and in the previous century at least has been toward equality of result and every other kind of equality that could be claimed without much regard for liberty," he says. "Right now the menace is certainly to liberty." Over lunch at the private Mory's club last week, we marvel over the first-ever NCAA championship for Yale's hockey team, the oldest program in the country. "Unbelievable!" says Mr. Kagan with the gleam of a sports obsessive. In 1987, he stepped in for a year to direct Yale's athletic department-probably the only classics professor ever to hold the post anywhere. His first initiative was to call to disband the NCAA or take Yale out of it. "I wish I had," he says. "It's so disgusting, it's so hypocritical, it's so wicked. The NCAA is just a trade organization meant to increase profits." Whether athletics, democracy or war are the topics of discussion, Mr. Kagan can offer examples from the ancients. His lifelong passion is Thucydides and the Peloponnesian War-the epic clash between those former allies, militaristic Sparta and democratic Athens, that closed out the fifth century B.C. As Thucydides wrote, people go to war out of "honor, fear and interest." War, he also said, "is a violent teacher." Another enduring lesson from him, says Mr. Kagan, is "that you can expect people, whatever they may be, to seek to maximize their power"-then a slight pause-"unless they're Europeans and have checked their brains at the door, so mortified are they, understandably, by what happened to them in the 20th century. They can't be taken seriously." These days the burden of seriousness among free states falls on America, a fickle and unusual power. The Romans had no qualms about quashing their enemies, big or small. While the U.S. won two global conflicts and imposed and protected the current global order, the recent record shows failed or inconclusive engagements in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Some would argue that free societies are too soft to fight brutal wars too long. Mr. Kagan offers culture and political leadership as an explanation. "We're a certain kind of culture which makes it hard for us to behave rationally when the rational thing is to be tough," he says. "We can do it when we're scared to death and there seem to be no alternatives. When it's time to nail down something, we very often sneak away." The protection and distance offered by two oceans gives America the idea-or delusion-of being able to stay out of the world's problems. Mr. Kagan also wonders about possible "geocultural" shifts at play. A hundred years ago, most people worked the land for themselves. Today they work for a paycheck, usually in an office. "Fundamentally we are dependent on people who pay our salaries," says Mr. Kagan. "In the liberal era, in our lifetime, we have come more to expect it is the job of the government to provide for the needs that we can't provide. Everything is negotiable. Everything is subject to talk." Maybe that has weakened the American will. Also don't forget, says Mr. Kagan, "unsubtle Christianity" and its strong strain of pacifism. "Who else has a religion filled with the notion 'turn the other cheek'?" he asks. "Who ever heard of such a thing?! If you're gonna turn the other cheek, go home. Give up the ball." In 2000, Mr. Kagan and his younger son, Frederick, a military historian and analyst, published "While America Sleeps." The book argued for the reversal of the Clinton Cold War peace dividend to meet unforeseen but inevitable threats to come. The timing was uncanny. A year later, 9/11 forced the Pentagon to rearm. With the end of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the U.S. is slashing defense again. "We do it every time," Mr. Kagan says. "Failing to understand the most elementary childish fact, which is: If you don't want trouble with somebody else, be sure he has something to be afraid of." Brownsville, not Thucydides, taught him that. "Any kid who grows up in a relatively tough neighborhood gets quick early lessons in what the realities are," he says. His 1995 book, "On the Origins of War," made a moral and strategic case to exert as much effort and money to safeguard peace as to win a war. Thucydides identified man's potential for folly and greatness. Mr. Kagan these days tends toward the darker view. He sees threats coming from Iran and in Asia, yet no leadership serious about taking them up. The public is too ignorant or irresponsible to care. "When you allow yourself to think of it, you don't know whether you are going to laugh or cry," he says. The Kagan thesis is bleak but not fatalistic. The fight to shape free citizens in schools, through the media and in the public square goes on. "There is no hope for anything if you don't have a population that buys into" a strong and free society, he says. "That can only be taught. It doesn't come in nature."

Sunday, September 18, 2011 16:15 % of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. by Zen Gardner Oh boy. Just when you think you've seen it all. I was just talking to my wife about the Benjamin Fulford and now David Wilcock claim that the Virginia earthquake was the nuking of two underground bases. I know, it's wild but the story has legs apparently. Actually, Fulford's claims that secretive "white hats" are fighting the badass "black hats" is a pretty cool thought. Here's what David Wilcock has to say: NUCLEAR STRIKES AGAINST UNDERGROUND BASES (Wilcock) Recently, these sources informed him (Fulford) that the earthquakes that occurred in Colorado and the Washington DC area, surrounding August 22nd and 23rd, were, in fact, apparently nuclear strikes against underground military facilities. have been built by the US government, ostensibly since the early 1960s, at the cost of trillions of dollars of undocumented taxpayer money that is going into these "black projects." ...I was absolutely astonished when I started to ask around and found out that everyone I know, with one exception who probably wasn't on a need-to-know basis, confirmed that this attack did happen. If you haven't understood the gravity or the implications of what I'm telling you right now, it's important to point out. These guys never imagined that these underground facilities could have been attacked. Ever. So what has happened here is a seismic shift in this insider war-that is arguably as significant as the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. And in fact, it may very well be the workings of the Universe, in terms of karma, that the people responsible for those attacks have now had it happen to them. See full article HERE Pretty cool if true. Then I ran into THIS story: Strafford - A massive hole in the ground behind two houses along Brush Everard St. inside the Austin Ridge subdivision in Stafford is threatening to swallow the two homes near it. ( Source ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u20Y1NYo9Bc OK, let's see where Stafford, Virginia is: Now let's see where the quake happened: Now THAT should get you wondering.... Pretty dang close. Of course it could be natural underground erosion triggered by the quake...but maybe not. Should be interesting to see how this plays out. Other anomalies The quake seemed to have a lot of weird characteristics, but then again they haven't had a quake of that intensity in that region for some time. In addition, the rock strata are quite different from other areas of the US and is known to make quakes travel much further. Activist Post ran a compelling piece entitled 6 Strange Anomalies With The Virginia Earthquake that mentions among other oddities the strange location, shallow depth and weird seismograph it produced. It also apparently simultaneously knocked Hurricane Irene off-course, similar to how hurricane Erin approaching NYC on 9/11 was seemingly turned out to sea during the "magical" pulverization of the twin towers. You can watch it here: Very strange indeed. Underground nuke? HAARP? Directed energy weapons? "Something's happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear." Keep on wondering...cuz man, we live in freaky times!

TWO HUGE underground cities were destroyed on August 23rd -which may be seen by historians as the critical moment in which the war was won. 80 different countries have now formed an alliance against the Old World Order/Nazi-esque cabal.

The full, unabridged transcript of this interview follows-and you can download and listen to it here . Headlines and extra comments have been added to enhance readability and context for the interview. The best way to get you started on this amazing journey is just to hit the ground running. So here we go... Benjamin Fulford: 30 Years as a Financial Journalist Benjamin Fulford Hi there. This is David Wilcock, and you're listening to another Divine Cosmos audioblog exclusive interview with Benjamin Fulford. Fulford has worked for Forbes Magazine as the editor for the Asia-Pacific region. People have tried to attack his credibility on this before, but it is documented. I have checked the references myself. He was mentioned by Stephen Colbert in one show discussing the so-called Illuminati. I will also say that Fulford has contact with an incredible number of different sources. He does seem to back up who these sources as much as humanly possible. NUCLEAR STRIKES AGAINST UNDERGROUND BASES Recently, these sources informed him that the earthquakes that occurred in Colorado and the Washington DC area, surrounding August 22nd and 23rd, were, in fact, apparently nuclear strikes against underground military facilities. have been built by the US government, ostensibly since the early 1960s, at the cost of trillions of dollars of undocumented taxpayer money that is going into these "black projects." The reason why I contacted Benjamin Fulford is I had read this on his blog Then I started to contact my own sources, which have been built up over being a public figure on the Internet since 1999-and gaining the trust of many people in various classified programs. I was absolutely astonished when I started to ask around and found out that everyone I know, with one exception who probably wasn't on a need-to-know basis, confirmed that this attack did happen. THEY NEVER IMAGINED IT COULD HAPPEN Now again. I'm going to turn it over to Ben in just a second. One more setup thing I want to say here is this. If you haven't understood the gravity or the implications of what I'm telling you right now, it's important to point out. These guys never imagined that these underground facilities could have been attacked. Ever. So what has happened here is a seismic shift in this insider war-that is arguably as significant as the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. And in fact, it may very well be the workings of the Universe, in terms of karma, that the people responsible for those attacks have now had it happen to them. CODE RED-ON A NEED-TO-KNOW BASIS There is undeniable significance in this happening. I was astonished at the depth of detail I have been able to get from my own sources about what happened. I have been told that the situation is now considered Code Red. However, it is also being withheld from most of the people in these programs. It's on a need-to-know basis. Even the sources I am in contact with, all except for one, did not even have the need-to-know basis high enough to know why this happened. Or who was responsible for it! MINING FOR INFORMATION So the only thing we know is that the powers that were, as I like to call them, have been putting out stories on the Internet about this event. What they're actually doing is they are trying to mine for information. They want to find out who knows what. And I am astonished that my own sources lack the knowledge that Benjamin Fulford has been putting out as to who is responsible for this... and why . UP TO SIXTY THOUSAND DEATHS-AND NO INSIDER IS SAFE My intelligence suggests it is possible that as many as 30,000 people were in each of these two underground cities at the time that went off. So we're talking about the potential of 60,000 deaths. We're also talking about the potential that anyone else working for these programs who is in one of these facilities, which could either be underground or possibly off-world, such as in a space station, on the Moon or elsewhere... is now totally alone and unguarded. They are not going to be protected. They are not safe. And their superiors are not informing them of the risk they are now in by being in those locations. SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT I want to set the record straight. I want to get the man to talk to you, the public, and hear, firsthand, what the hell is going on, who did this, why did they do this, and what are the implications. So Ben, that's my intro. Let's hear from you now. I'm very interested in this. BRETTON WOODS SET THE STAGE BF: There has been a very esoteric battle over control of the dollar printing machine for the global financial system. What happened was that at the end of World War II, at the Bretton Woods accords of 1944, Britain, France and the US were given the right to control the world's currency. They were supposed to have a Marshall Plan to develop Africa and Asia as well as Europe. They reneged on their promise, and instead started to fake a "cold war" with the Soviet Union-which was designed to support the military industries. 77 NON-ALIGNED NATIONS SET UP GLOBAL COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS Then, the group of non-aligned nations-77 nations-pooled their assets... all their wealth, their gold and other valuables... and set up some global collateral accounts. They wanted to use this money to start the Marshall Plans for Asia and Africa. KENNEDY TRIED TO END THE FED-AND THE COLD WAR President Kennedy agreed to go along with this after he found out that there was a group that was trying to very seriously get the Soviet Union and the United States to annihilate each other. This was the Cuban Missile Crisis. The historical accord is called the Hilton Green Memorial. This is available to any serious researcher in financial history. President Sukarno was the signatory for the countries. He was going to give Kennedy-they gave Kennedy 140,000 tons of gold. Kennedy passed a law allowing Congress, not the Federal Reserve Board, to create dollars Kennedy also said, "Let's go to the Moon, instead of this cold war, to stimulate industry. Let's develop the poor countries and let's develop space instead of having this fake Cold War." KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED-AND THE CLOCK RAN OUT IN 1994 Kennedy did put out a lot of money, but he was assassinated. As you know, the public space program just disappeared in the 1970s when that funding ran out, and just stopped completely. President Sukarno was hounded from office. The international agreement that left Britain, France and the United States in charge of the world's financial system expired in 1994. That is why they wound down the Soviet Union. After 1994, there was no accord at the very top level of the world's financial system about who would be in charge next. There was a split in the ranks. CHINA AND NON-ALIGNED NATIONS WANTED FINANCIAL CONTROL The Chinese and the non-aligned nations were pressuring the oligarchs who had been running things since World War II to hand over control of the dollar printing press-the financial system-but they were reluctant. The international court of justice at the Hague was sued by the Chinese over gold that the Federal Reserve Board owners sold them. THE FED HAD TO PAY UP ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2001 The Federal Reserve Board owners lost this lawsuit, and they were told to hand over the gold... starting on September 12, 2001. Instead, on September 11th, 2001, as you all know, they gave the world the finger and started this huge, fake, global war on terror. It was part of an attempt by the fascist groups of World War II. THEY WANTED GLOBAL FASCISM-AND 90% FEWER PEOPLE The Nazis and their fascist sympathizers in the US, and England, and Italy, with a group that can be found within the military, in Congress, and in the Vatican, were going to set up a global fascist government. At the same time, they had this belief that there were too many people. Especially too many, according to them, inferior brown-type people. They wanted to reduce the world's population by 90 percent. DW: This is documented? BF: Yes, it's very well documented. I was invited to join this group by Heizo Takanaka, who was the Japanese finance minister for five years. I have a tape recording of this invitation to prove it. THEY WANTED TO HIDE UNDERGROUND AFTER NUKING THE PLANET They were planning to hide in these underground bases after they set off a nuclear holocaust. The original plan was to start a nuclear war between Iran and Israel, and use that as an excuse to set up martial law in the G7 countries-and then prepare for war against China. RUSSIA AND CHINA CUT THEM OFF This plan fell apart when Russia kicked them out-and Putin re-asserted independence for Russia. That removed their control-the oil industry-and made that whole plan not work. The Chinese also stopped buying US treasuries for a while to put pressure on this group. THEY OFFERED TO PARTNER WITH CHINA IN WORLD DICTATORSHIP So they switched strategies. Instead, they tried to suck up to China and offer them a world dictatorship... in partnership with this group. That's why in public you saw Obama visit China in 2009 and offer a "G2" . This is how you can confirm this. THEY ARE BEING CUT OFF-AND ARE RUNNING OUT OF MONEY In any case, this group that carried out the 9/11 attacks has been under increasing pressure, and under isolation, at the very highest levels. They are running out of money. They are being cut off. WHAT ABOUT THE "MISSING" 2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS? DW: Ben, right before September 11th, a lot of people forgot about this. Donald Rumsfeld goes on national television and says that they "lost" 2.3 trillion dollars from the Pentagon over the previous decade. Does that have anything to do with this gold thing you are talking about? BF: Oh yeah. FINANCING "MURDER INCORPORATED" That money was used to finance Blackwater-a private army not controlled by the Pentagon. The Pentagon would not let themselves be controlled by this cabal. So they were trying to do what the Nazis did in World War II-create an elite SS corps that could bully the regular military. That was where that money went to, as far as my sources are concerned. DW: Wow. BF: In any case, we were contacted by smugglers, drug smugglers... DW: Could you just say who "We" is, for a minute? THE WHITE DRAGON SOCIETY-MANY GROUPS COLLABORATING BF: "We" is a group of us who are involved in the fight to overthrow this cabal. It includes members of the CIA, the Pentagon, the agencies, and various , including Asian secret societies. We use the name White Dragon. There is another group that calls themselves the White Hats. We all have the same goal, which is to get this insane group of people out of power. WHY FULFORD? DW: Some of the criticism I have seen from people on the Internet is, "If this group is so vast and so powerful to fight this cabal, why is Benjamin Fulford the only one talking about this?" BF: These people like their secrecy-and I am a spokesperson. When you go to the White House, there is only one voice they give to the public. They prefer to work behind the scenes. You've got to realize we're dealing in a world where they use assassination like most of us use tissue papers. DW: Sure. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO STAND AGAINST THE CABAL BF: I've had about six murder attempts myself. One of my colleagues, a CIA guy, was recently poisoned with ricin by these guys. Another one of our members in Switzerland has guards around his house, and they just shot someone last week near his house who was trying to kill him. Before that, they found a Mafioso by the name of Vincenzo Mazzamaro who had a gun and a sophisticated lock-picking device, and was trying to get into his place. Another one of us had a concrete bag miss him by a couple of inches last week. DW: Wow. BF: We're dealing with some very dangerous people. That's why there is a need for secrecy. FULFORD IS BILINGUAL AND HIGH PROFILE IN ASIA THANKS TO FORBES DW: I've also speculated You are in Japan, and you're a "gaijin" -a foreigner, a white person. You have the background of being a distinguished editor for Forbes Magazine. You are bilingual, you do speak fluent Japanese. There are several videos you have released now that show that. This might have been part of what gave you this platform to give these Asian secret societies a voice. Would you say that is correct? WHY WASN'T JAPAN USING ITS MONEY TO HEAL THE PLANET? BF: What happened in my case was that I asked a very simple and obvious question when I was at Forbes. The Japanese people-that includes both public and the private sector-have about 8 trillion dollars worth of assets overseas. DW: Eight trillion dollars? BF: Yeah. That's in the public record. You can go to the finance ministry homepage and the numbers are there. According to the UN development report, you need 400 billion to stop environmental destruction and 200 billion to end poverty. So I'm saying, "Hey, you guys, why don't you end poverty and stop environmental destruction?" DW: Okay, hold on, hold on. BF: It's a no-brainer! 400 BILLION? THAT'S IT? DW: 400 billion is all it takes to completely stop environmental destruction? How is that possible? BF: That's an annual budget. This is the UN development report. You'd have to go through their experts and find out how they did those numbers. DW: Okay. But that's public domain. So the eight trillion is vastly more than what it would take to end poverty and stop environmental destruction. BF: Yeah. JAPANESE REVENUE DRAINED FROM RECONSTRUCTION DEBTS These contracts were reinforced with bribery, blackmail, death threats and assassinations of Japanese government officials who didn't agree.] 90 PERCENT OF WORLD SAVINGS ABSORBED BY US MILITARY BF: The other thing is that if you look at the statistics, you realize that 90 percent of the world's savings was being sucked out of the system by the US military-industrial complex. DW: How do you prove that? BF: I was a financial journalist for 25 years. This is all public-record stuff. DW: Ninety percent of the US budget is going to the military. BF: There's an easy way to check. Just look at the US external trade deficit and compare it to the US military budget. You'll find an amazing similarity over the years. DW: (Laughs) BF: That's for the simple reason that the military does not produce tradable goods. They were a parasitic entity on the world economy. WHY NOT HEAL THE WORLD AND COLONIZE SPACE? What I said was simply, "Look. Why don't you just stop paying for this military?" I told this to the Asians, "..and instead ask them to and set them to exploring space?" It's the sort of thing that's just common sense. DW: Okay, Ben, your audio just cut out on that last sentence. BF: I think that is common sense. DW: Okay. ASSASSINATION ORDERS BF: What happened was that an assassination order came out for me. The South Korean secret police informed the Chinese that there was an order to have me killed. You can check. My colleague Paul Klebnikov, the Moscow bureau chief for Forbes Magazine, was shot nine times outside of his apartment in Moscow. He was still alive when the ambulance came an hour later. He got to the hospital and he was put in the hospital elevator. The elevator was stopped for eight minutes-and he died in the elevator. He was investigating a member of this same group that I was. He was investigating Boris Berezovsky, one of the oil tycoons. I was investigating Heizo Takenaka-but they all go back to the same cabal. DW: Right. THE WAR ON TERROR WAS OBVIOUSLY A FAKE BF: In any case, the South Koreans told the Chinese that an assassination order was out for me. This was because of my publicly calling for the Asians to stop spending their savings on this vast military machine. You have got to remember, during the Cold War they actually had this anti-Communism excuse. But, the War on Terror was so obviously fake that it was just ridiculous to anybody who does any serious research or investigation. DW: Right. CHINESE SECRET SOCIETY OFFERS PROTECTION BF: I got invited to join a Chinese secret society that offered me protection from this assassination order-and that's how I found myself in this secret world of financial power. The group that offered me protection was the group that was behind the non-aligned nations. It crosses borders. If you think in terms of countries, you don't understand how these people work. They have big factions in China, in the US and in Europe-both against and for them. It crosses borders. If you think in terms of nation-states, you won't understand how these groups work. CHINESE FIGHT FINANCIAL BATTLE BY BUYING REAL ASSETS In any case, a financial battle started. There were many, many public salvos. In 2006, the Chinese wanted to use their dollars to do something other than buy Treasuries. They tried to buy the oil company Unocal. Congress passed a law saying they could not. So then they took their dollars and they went to Africa, South America and everywhere, and started spending them on real things-like mines and agricultural land and commodities. Not virtual things-like fancy and impossible to understand derivatives products, which are basically con jobs. DW: Ponzi schemes. Yeah. BF: Yeah. FOOD AND OIL PRICES INCREASED BY CABAL The other group tried to retaliate by jacking up food and oil prices. Remember there were hunger riots in 33 countries at one point. DW: Yeah. BF: It was an economist at the World Bank who pointed out the reason people were going hungry was that they were paying farmers to grow oil instead of food. That put an end to that. 2008 LEHMAN SHOCK WAS ASIAN COUNTER-ATTACK Then there was a counter-attack. The were told that we would no longer accept dollars printed within the United States. That's what you know of as the Lehman crisis. 76 PERCENT DROP IN JAPANESE CAR EXPORTS TO THE US You can check this in the public record. If you look at Japanese export statistics, from October or November 2008, after the Lehman shock, you will see something like a 76 percent year-to-year drop in Japanese car exports to the US. This was the Japanese and other people saying, "You can no longer use paper to buy stuff from the rest of the world. You have to trade with real things." Of course, your public was not let in on this. DW: That's where I think people's brain is going to get busted. Nobody publicly knows that this Lehman shock had anything to do with Asia. BF: Yeah, I know. The way you can check it is to look at the export-import statistics after the Lehman shock. The other way to check it is to look at the Baltic Dry Index. That's the price of shipping. 90 PERCENT DROP IN THE PRICE OF SHIPPING You will see that the price of shipping dropped 90 percent right after the Lehman shock. DW: Wow. BF: That's because the ships were no longer going to the US, full of stuff, and then leaving empty . These are ways people can verify what I'm saying with public-record information. DW: Good. Okay. NORWAY SHOOTING WAS AN ATTEMPT TO EXTORT 1.5 TRILLION BF: Getting back to the blowing up of the underground bases, this group was being cut off more and more at a high level, and they were running out of money. They were trying to extort money from various countries. They killed the youth group of the ruling party in Norway-that was the Norway attacks-because they were trying to extort the 1.5 trillion-dollar oil fund the Norwegian government controls. They were saying, "Hey, we're going to kill you if you don't hand over your money." DW: just desperately trying to find cash. BF: Yeah. They invaded Libya to take over their oil fields, because the Libyans told them, "We're not going to give you oil for your paper anymore." DW: Hmmm. NUCLEAR BOMB SMUGGLED INTO JAPAN WITH 70 KILOS OF MARIJUANA BF: In the case of Japan, again, I have sources who are actually drug smugglers. They have been selling drugs in Japan for 70 years. These are CIA types. The CIA drug-smuggling division. They told me that a nuclear bomb had been brought in with their latest shipment of drugs. This was a 70-kilo shipment of adulterated Thai marijuana that was brought in through Okinawa. They found a nuclear bomb mixed in with it. And of course, with these guys, smuggling drugs is one thing, but smuggling nuclear weapons is another. They told the police, and they told me. I made it public. They followed the bomb as far as the North Korean citizens' association headquarters in Tokyo. FOUR NUKES STOLEN FROM THE RUSSIAN SUB 'KURSK' I have independent confirmation from a Mr. Paul Lane, of Pentagon military intelligence-he was a part of the Men Who Stare At Goats group-that four nuclear weapons were stolen from the Russian submarine Kursk after it sank. I think it was in 2000 or something. It was one of those nuclear weapons that was smuggled in . DW: Stolen by who, though? BF: This is the Odessa group. The Nazi group. The one that was trying to set up a fascist world government-a Fourth Reich. DW: Okay. How did they get to the Kursk to get these nukes out? BF: I don't know the technical details, but they have submarine bases in various parts of the world. I assume it was from one of these submarine bases. WHY STEAL NUKES IF YOU CAN BUILD YOUR OWN? DW: The next question, then, would be why would they need to get it from the Kursk if they are powerful enough to make their own? BF: The public nuclear devices are under strict safety protocols. You can't just take them and then blow them up somewhere. There are too many people involved in the chain of command. They tried to do that. MINOT AIR FORCE BASE INCIDENT: FAILED SMUGGLING ATTEMPT There were incidents where just barely stopped a nuclear... DW: Right. Like the Minot Air Force Base incident. BF: Yeah, exactly. DW: The soldiers did a mutiny and would not commit this "Broken Arrow" . That's what they called it in code terms. BF: There you go. What they needed was some nuclear weapons that were not under any official government control. DW: Okay. JAPANESE SHIP DRILLING TEN KILOMETERS AT EXACT EPICENTER BF: There was a Japanese drilling ship known as the Chikuyu Maru that can drill ten kilometers into the seabed. They were drilling at the exact epicenter of the earthquake. We had an article from January 17th in a local paper saying they were drilling there. They put the bomb in the seabed. HAND OVER THE CASH-OR TOKYO WILL BE NEXT This was an attempt to extort money, through terror, from the Japanese. DW: So they warned Japan that they put the nuke in before they asked for money? BF: No, they asked for money afterwards. DW: Oh, wow. BF: "If you don't do it, next it's Mount Fuji." DW: For people who don't know, Fujiyama is right around Tokyo, which is the largest population center of Japan. BF: Yes. That's right. DW: So basically they are saying they would nuke Tokyo, which is how many million people? Thirty or forty million? BF: Thirty million or so. DW: Right. Okay. JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER HANDED OVER 20 BILLION BF: The Japanese prime minister Kan originally was so cowardly, he just said, "Oh yeah, all right, we'll sign over money." He handed over something like two trillion yen, which is about 20 billion dollars. And they gave him a big bribe. MAJOR BATTLE WAS TRIGGERED IN JAPAN TO REMOVE THE CABAL The evidence that this was not a natural disaster began piling up. The result has been a battle here in Japan to remove these people from control. WHY DO YOU THINK THIS WAS NOT A NATURAL EARTHQUAKE? DW: Some people might not realize there is any evidence that Fukushima was not a natural disaster. Could you just briefly touch on a couple of points that you think are the most significant? BF: If you look at the seismic chart, you will see a sudden explosion. It's not like a natural earthquake, where you have pre-shocks. It was just suddenly huge, and then it started fading down. UNDERGROUND BASE EXPLOSIONS ALSO STARTED BIG It was the same with the underground bases. If you look at a seismic chart, it will look like a big line all of a sudden appearing, and then a smaller line afterwards. There is no buildup, as you would find in a natural earthquake. PLUTONIUM PUT IN FUKUSHIMA A MONTH BEFORE THE ATTACK There is plenty of evidence. The governor of Fukushima province told me they overruled him and put plutonium in reactor number 3. one month before the tsunami incident. DW: Only a month before? BF: Yeah. HOUSING COMPANY'S STOCK SHOT UP A MONTH BEFORE THE ATTACK And then we had a company called Higashi Nippon House. They make cheap housing in northeastern Japan. Their stock was shooting up in the month before the attack. You've got to remember: Japan has an aging and shrinking population. It doesn't make sense for a cheap housing company's stock price to go shooting up like that-unless there was something in the works. POSSIBLE NUCLEAR ATTACK THREATENED TWO DAYS BEFORE The other thing is that a group of us recorded a conversation between Kirk Campbell, who is your deputy foreign minister for Asia, and Japanese power broker Ichiro Ozawa-on March 9, 2011. In this conversation, Campbell asked Ozawa not to split the ruling party and force the formation of a new government. They said they would give him the rights to zeolite in Fukushima province. Zeolite is used to clean up radioactive waste. This conversation was recorded on March 9th-two days before the tsunami attack. NETANYAHU PERSONALLY THREATENED NEW NUCLEAR DISASTERS The other point a man by the name of Takemasa Kawase, a Japanese military intelligence officer. subsequently told me that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu phoned Japanese prime minister Naoto Kan after the attack. said that they would cause other nuclear disasters around Japan if they did not start handing over the money. The chief Mossad agent in Japan, by the way, is a man named Michael Green. He's a nasty piece of work, and we're going to remove him from this country soon. DW: One question, though. BF: Yeah, but I want to... DW: OK, go ahead. ISRAELI COMPANY WAS IN CHARGE OF SECURITY AT FUKUSHIMA BF: In order to confirm what this guy told me, I waned to check-and there was an Israeli company that was in charge of security at the Japanese nuclear plant. DW: Oh my gosh! BF: So I was able to independently confirm that through other sources. This is publicly available information-who was in charge of security at Fukushima. It was an Israeli company. Now go on. What was your question? IS ISRAEL A MEMBER OF THE CABAL? DW: First, then, do you believe that Israel is tied in with this cabal you keep mentioning, in some way? BF: Not Israel, but a clique at the top of the Israeli government, yes. Most Israelis I consider to be chumps or victims of these people. THE CABAL INTENDED TO SACRIFICE THE ISRAELI PEOPLE For example the cousin of the Shah of Iran, among others, came to us with information that George Bush and his group had given twelve neutron bombs to the government of Iran. missiles with neutron bombs on them. Remember-neutron bombs kill people, but leave buildings intact. DW: Well, that's not only treasonous, it sounds crazy. BF: It is! IRANIANS TRIED TO GET RID OF THEM-BUT THEY WERE REFUSED The Iranians said "We don't want them." They put them at the Iraqi border and asked President Obama to please take them off their hands. Obama just refused to listen. DW: Wow. "Pentagon White Hats" intend to restore constitutional government to the US after overthrowing the cabal, and want to keep the elected president in power as this happens. I support this decision, and feel it is the best move to make in order to keep the public calm as this event finally comes to pass. I would be cautious in blaming Obama personally for this alleged decision not to remove nukes from Iran without gaining additional information first. The president is the intended fall-guy to draw attention away from the cabal conspirators behind the scenes. His true power is limited. Even if he did want to retrieve the weapons, he may not have had any choice. It may also have been seen as a trap-far too dangerous to risk the lives of top personnel on what could easily have been a suicide mission.] MOST ISRAELIS WOULD BE HORRIFIED IF THEY KNEW THE TRUTH BF: Okay? And again, people at the higher level know this is true. In other words, they were going to offer the people of Israel as a kind of ritual sacrifice. So the Israelis were victims. A lot of them were fooled with Jewish superiority talk, which is really the same as Aryan superiority talk-only you substitute Jew for Aryan. They were chumps. Most of the Israelis don't know what is going on, and they would be appalled to hear it. It's about a cabal that is above all that. DW: And it has no religious affiliation. THEY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH JUDAISM / CHRISTIANITY / ISLAM BF: Well, they are associated with the Abrahamistic religions. Let's put it that way. DW: Going back to Babylon, Mesopotamia, all the way back there? BF: Well, at least going back to the time of the Caesars. RELIGION AND FASCISM Let's remember the word "religion." The etymology of the word "religion" is religare in Latin, which means to re-bind. What do you re-bind it into? A fascio. What is a fascio? It is a bundle of sticks, but it is also fascism. MONOTHEISTIC RELIGION COULD BE USED FOR MASS MIND CONTROL At its worst, monotheism-as practiced in the Middle Ages, for example-involved singular control over everybody's thoughts. Remember-in the Middle Ages, if you didn't believe in the official Catholic doctrine, then you and your entire family would be killed-or tortured until you confessed. DW: Right. That was the Inquisition. BF: Well, yeah! THEY'RE MORE SOPHISTICATED NOW-BUT STILL LOSING THE BATTLE And it's much more sophisticated now. Five companies control all the major English- media-including the TV, the newspapers, the radios, the Hollywood studios. It's much more sophisticated now. They're trying to get everybody to think the same way-and they're losing . 9/11, the story there, was just so full of holes and contradictions that they were losing a significant part of their brainwashed audience-including myself, because I was a high-level brainwashee. DW: Right. PENTAGON BLEW UP UNDERGROUND BASES TO FIGHT GENOCIDE BF: In any case, what happened was that there was a group within the Pentagon and the agencies and stuff that realized this plan was insane. They knew that the plan to kill 90 percent of humanity was wrong. They then blew up the underground bases the elites were going to use to hide in when they carried out their nuclear holocaust. DW: Okay. I want to get back to that, because that is a really central point. There is one question I want to ask you before we get to that, because that's the conclusion of the discussion. WHY DOES THE CABAL NEED TO STEAL MONEY? Why did these guys need money? If they have so much infrastructure, so many assets, and massive political power, why can't they just nakedly exercise power... move men around, move munitions around? Why do they need money? Why are they going around like a crackhead looking for a fix? Why are they going to all these different countries and trying to scam money off of them? Why can't they just print dollars and make more money? BF: Because people aren't accepting their dollars worldwide. You've got to remember there are 800 US military bases around the world. If they can't make the payroll for these guys, they're going to be marching out of their bases with food bowls in their hands, begging for food. DW: Right. THE ASIANS CUT OFF THE MONEY SUPPLY TO WALL STREET BF: They're being cut off from their oil, from their other resources. That was their Achilles heel-the control of money. Their private army was self-financing. They had their own industries and their own income. The US army is dependent on Wall Street financing. That's why they were dependent on ultimately the Chinese and the Asians, who were financing Wall Street. YOU CAN BE THE GOOD GUYS AGAIN That's why I told the Pentagon guys, "You can have a Starship Enterprise future, exploring the Universe and all that kind of stuff. Just work with us. "We're not going to cut you off. You're not going to end up like the Soviet Union, where you have a general who is now suddenly being forced to drive a taxi in London. "You can be the good guys again." A lot of them said, "Hey, I think that's a good idea. We want to be heroes again. We don't want to be the bad guys." SUPPRESSED TECHNOLOGY INCLUDING ANTIGRAV AND 'STARGATES' DW: You're saying that they have suppressed technology that could bring us into the Starship Enterprise reality. http://www.divinecosmos.com/start-here/davids-blog/807-fulford-interview-exclusive A third group based in the US military-intelligence establishment proposes a 5-year swords-to-plowshares transformation of the Pentagon. This group has the potential to develop the over 6,000 patents that have hitherto been suppressed for "national security" reasons. One technology they possess is anti-gravity. This would make automobiles obsolete and allow roadways to be transformed into gardens. They claim to control technology that allows the creation of portals into other dimensions. They claim (we have not seen proof but have heard this from many credible eye-witnesses) that many so-called underground bases around the world are actually such portals. Hopefully we will soon be able to see if this is true. If so the implications are more than mind-boggling.] 5,135 INVENTIONS HAVE BEEN CLASSIFIED BF: I don't know about . But, we can confirm, according to the American Academy of Sciences, that more than six thousand patents have been suppressed for so-called "security" or "public safety" reasons. "The Source Field Investigations." The Federation of American Scientists revealed that 5,135 inventions had been classified by the end of FY 2010. Among other shocking revelations, we now know that any power system that is more than 70-80 percent efficient at converting energy will automatically be declared classified.] Some of these probably need to be suppressed. We don't want everyone to have a backyard nuke, for example. DW: Sure. BF: But a lot of them, I'm hearing, were just kept because these people were acting like dogs in the manger. They only wanted the elite to have it. MANY UFOS ARE FAKE So my understanding is that, for example, a lot of the so-called UFOs are just sophisticated earth-based secret aircraft that aren't available to the public at large. DW: I would agree with that. Yeah. ALIEN ABDUCTIONS MAY BE FROM "PLFs" OWNED BY THE CABAL "Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge," Dr. Steven Greer of the Disclosure Project reveals compelling insider testimony that UFO abductions are being carried out by so-called PLFs, or Programmable Life Forms, owned by the cabal. There are no reports of "alien abduction" prior to the early 1960s with the infamous Betty and Barney Hill case. This appears to be when the PLF technology was first perfected and put into use. ALL ET CONTACTS IN THE 1950S WERE WITH POSITIVE HUMANS These ETs appear to be the same people who appeared in ancient civilizations around the world and were labeled as "gods" or "angels." Many of these 1950s contacts occurred in the US and Canada, and were studied and compiled by Wilbert B. Smith-a Canadian government worker with classified clearance. An entirely separate set of positive contacts occurred in Italy, and were the subject of the TV documentary "The Friendship Case" , in which key firsthand witnesses broke their silence and spoke about the events they experienced. A great deal of valuable information about both the US/Canada and Italian contacts can be found in "1950s Human ETs Prepare Us for Golden Age" here . BIOLOGICAL ROBOTS USED TO FIGHT THE POSITIVE ETs WITH FEAR Greer's contacts confirmed the PLF technology was acquired from ETs-and involves advanced cloning principles to create a "biological robot". Apparently, a human fetus is grown in an artificial environment, and without the pressure of the womb, it retains fetal proportions and features-including the large eyes, big head and thin body-on into adulthood. POSITIVE ETs WOULD NOT INTERFERE UNTIL 2012 "Mr. X" , an employee for a major defense contractor, the positive ETs gave a very important message to the cabal in the early 1950s. Several top-secret documents revealed that unless the ETs were specifically invited to show up by a majority of the people, and / or their leaders, they could not appear publicly and openly, on any mass scale, until the end of the year 2012. This was due to their cooperation with a natural cycle in the Earth-which is apparently governed by a meta-intelligence that exists at the planetary, solar, galactic and universal level-namely the Source Field. The prophecies and workings of this cycle, and its effects on human evolution, are explored in unprecedented new scientific depth in my book The Source Field Investigations (SFI). SFI debuted at #18 on the New York Times best-seller list, increased to #16 the second week and is at #18 for the third week. Our publisher Penguin, incidentally, is not part of the cabal, nor the top five media companies. Extensive secrecy was kept around the book until its release to insure it would not be interfered with. PLFs USED TO TERRIFY PUBLIC AND PREPARE FOR "ALIEN 9/11" "alien abduction" phenomenon was to terrify the public-and help set the stage for a fake "Alien 9/11". This fake alien attack has been extensively telegraphed in a multiplicity of different movies-18 different movies in the recent past alone. The major media conglomerates are owned by the cabal and produce these "alien invasion" films for propaganda purposes. ETs ARE NOW COOPERATING WITH EFFORTS TO DEFEAT THE CABAL Namely, ETs have apparently been cooperating with this international resistance group to defeat the cabal. This was totally unexpected, as the cabal was led to believe the ETs had to follow spiritual laws that forbade them from ever intervening-under any circumstances. Advanced ET technologies are now being used to strike and disable cabal assets. Many examples have been given in my "China's October Surprise " article series. Just read everything in David's Blog on divinecosmos.com beginning from October 2010. The joint campaign began last October-and many obvious, public targets were hit, all with zero casualties. This included the powering-down of 50 Minuteman ICBMs-and top military witnesses have now publicly reported that a cigar-shaped craft was hovering overhead the entire time. THE UNDERGROUND BASES WERE A MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT STRIKE These earlier attacks did apparently wipe out a great deal of individual craft and munitions that the cabal could have used to fake an alien invasion, according to the insiders I have spoken to. However, it was always done a little here, a little there-never all at once. This gave the cabal a false hope that they still had a chance, even as their infrastructure crumbled. It is very likely that the ETs would not have destroyed two entire underground cities on their own. This attack was much, much bigger than anything else had been. I believe Fulford is correct in saying that the "good guys" in the Pentagon did this themselves-to stop the genocide from taking place. ONCE WE DEFEAT THE CABAL, WE STOP THE ABDUCTIONS "alien threat" appears to be largely generated from within this group. Therefore, once we defeat the cabal, we stop the abductions... and the UFO cover-up.] LET'S USE WHAT WE HAVE-TO TRANSFORM THE PLANET BF: And so, the point is, let's develop these patents in a safe way, and you can have a boom time such as we haven't had in a very long time. DW: Right. Instead of creating these financial products that are just voodoo, why not actually build infrastructure? The existing military-industrial complex, I would argue, is probably the only entity on Earth that has the tools, the factories, the infrastructure and the staff to be able to accomplish this. BF: Yeah! Exactly. And that's why the generals are now on our side. The people who are not on our side are mostly bribed politicians in Washington DC, and the Wall Street crowd. So they are being increasingly isolated. WHY IN THE WORLD DO THEY WANT TO KILL SO MANY PEOPLE? DW: Now what possible reason could they have-these adversaries... Why in the world do they think they want to reduce population? The average person's mind shuts down because they can't conceptualize that anyone would be that evil. So what's their rationale, as far as you understood it? MASS DEATH IS "GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT" BF: The story they tell me is, "Look. We're destroying the environment. There's too many people for the planet to support." CULTIVATING THE HUMAN RACE LIKE GARDENERS The other thing is these people are elitists. They believe in eugenics. They say too many stupid people are breeding too much. Useless eaters. All they do is they destroy the environment, and they don't produce anything. They just sit around and watch TV. We don't need these people. We want to eliminate the weak and the useless, and just keep the elite. We want to increase and improve the genetic quality of the human race by purging the garbage from the system. And, we get to save the environment and create a whole new natural ecosystem. The Georgia Guidestones has their philosophy written out. 500 million people on Earth, in harmony with their environment. This is their goal. They put it in eco-terms. THE NAZIS WERE ENVIRONMENTALISTS People can forget the Nazis were great green people when it came to preserving nature and natural parks, all that kind of stuff. They were really gung ho. In Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote that he wanted to enslave the non-white peoples and then kill them. It's right there. It's the same group. They're the same Nazis. The same philosophy. The rationale was that if the US didn't get them, they would fall into the hands of the Soviet Union, which was far worse. It is a well-established, documented fact that Prescott Bush was one of Hitler's main bankers and financial liaisons. A "Business Plot" was attempted in the 1930s, by Prescott Bush and others, that would have led to the overthrow of American constitutional government and the installing of a fascist system patterned off of Hitler and Mussolini.] THEY WANTED A SMALL, ENSLAVED POPULATION TO PAMPER THEM The other thing the super-elite were saying was, "Hey, we're really special. We're really smart. We are the elite, and we should rule the planet like God-kings... "We will need about 500 million slaves or so to keep us pampered, but the rest we don't need." And it's also about control. They don't have the brainwashed control over large parts of the planet. They realized they weren't going to be able to control these people. So they thought "let's kill them," rather than lose control of the planet. THE CABAL WANTS YOU TO FEEL HOPELESS... AND DOOMED DW: Now a lot of people who read about this stuff online, the vast majority in fact-including most of the guests Jeff Rense or Alex Jones would have on-feel there is an incredible sense of futility. Everyone seems to go with the knee-jerk reaction that all the governments in the world, all the countries in the world, everybody is in on it. BF: That's where they are being used and turned into controlled opposition. They are trying to numb people to the message. "Yeah, it's happening, but there is nothing you can do about it. It's inevitable." That's simply not the case. DW: Could you explain why that is not the case? THEY ONLY CONTROL THE G5 COUNTRIES... AND A FEW SHILLS BF: They only now control the G5 countries. DW: Which countries are those? BF: Those countries are Italy, France, England, Germany and the United States. DW: That's it? You're saying ALL the other countries in the world they don't control anymore? BF: If you look at the countries that accepted the new... I think maybe they've got a few subject countries like Honduras, Columbia and places like that. MOST OF THE REST OF THE WORLD IS PART OF THE ALLIANCE If you look at the African Union, they put out their own currency backed by Khadafy's gold-and they don't support this group. Or most of the countries in Asia. Russia. China. DW: What about European countries like Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania? BF: They were at this meeting. There was a meeting in Monaco at the end of August. 57 COUNTRIES GATHERED TO DISCUSS HOW TO DEFEAT THE CABAL 57 countries were invited by the Swiss to discuss cutting these people off financially-and creating an international financial boycott against the controllers of the G5. DW: Now that's an incredible statement you're making. You're saying 57 different countries, including some of these Eastern European countries... BF: There were representatives from the Netherlands and Canada there too, OK? DW: Wow. What about South America? BF: Yeah, of course. And since then, more than 80 countries have signed on. IT'S GOING TO BECOME PUBLIC We're reaching a point where it's going to become public. It's going to be on the airwaves. It's going to be on the news. They can't hide it much longer. DW: Why the hell haven't they made this public already? If people are dying, and these guys are trying to fake an alien invasion-that's one thing we keep hearing, that they are trying to do an Alien 9/11-why haven't they gone public already? BF: You don't think they've tried? VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE TRUTH PUBLISHED IN THE MAINSTREAM Look, I had a book proposal at the Berlin book fair. Eleven publishing companies wanted that book out there, including five major ones. They all came back and said they were told by their bosses they couldn't do it. DW: Wow. BF: They've had people going and telling everybody I've ever associated with professionally that I had become an insane drug user. They control the media. You've got to remember that. There are five companies. Five corporations-controlled by people like Rupert Murdoch, Redstone and stuff. They have a grip over all the TV studios, all the newspapers, the radio stations, Hollywood studios, you name it. THIS IS NOT A GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE DW: So if their economies are going to go down, they can then say it's a global economic collapse. BF: And it's NOT a global economic collapse! SEVEN PERCENT WORLD ECONOMIC GROWTH OUTSIDE THE G5 Again, if you look at the public statistics, you will see that if you exclude the G5 countries, the average growth in the world economy last year was seven percent! DW: Holy crap! BF: People are booming! It's not a world crisis-it's a crisis among the countries controlled by this cabal. DW: And it's only the G5 nations. Wow! BF: Yes! I mean, look at the statistics. They're all there. It's all in the public record. You just have to look at government websites and check this out. EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE IN THE PUBLIC RECORD There's nothing I'm saying-including the plan to kill 90 percent of the world's population-that is not in the public record. It's in their own writings! We have countless confessions. Wernher Von Braun, the guy behind the Apollo projects, said on his deathbed that they were going to use a fake alien invasion as an excuse for genocide. It's crazy stuff-but it's provable. These people don't think like normal humans. I guess it was Herbert Hoover-no, J. Edgar Hoover-who said, when a conspiracy is so big, people's mind boggles and they go into denial. In any case, these people are coming down. We've got... DW: (crosstalk) Right. Now you said something that is very provocative. TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS INTERNATIONAL MEETING... You said that there is this meeting that happened, with I believe you said 57 different countries, was it? BF: Yes. DW: And this happened in Monaco? BF: Yes. And it was taken on board a ship which went into international waters. According to two witnesses, senator Jay Rockefeller showed up and tried to break into the meeting-and he was physically ejected. THE CABAL SENT IN BLACK HELICOPTERS-BUT WERE CHASED OUT Two black helicopters appeared above the ship during the meeting, and they were chased away by harrier jets. DW: Now these black helicopters were like Apaches with weapons on them? BF: I don't know the details. I just heard that there were two helicopters, and there was a danger that they were going to use some kind of electromagnetic weapon against the ship. DW: Oh, like scalar technology kind of stuff. Yeah. BF: And I know that they were chased away by two harrier jets. DW: Wow! BF: US military jets. THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED EVERYONE-AND TRIED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL DW: If they had succeeded with those helicopters, what do you think might have happened there? Would everybody have just died? BF: Well, they would have killed all the representatives. Then they would have said, "Hey, we're in charge, and if you try to go against us, we'll kill you." This is what they've been doing ever since World War II. HOW COULD THEY COVER UP A MASS KILLING OF THIS SCOPE? DW: If so many persons of interest died at once, wouldn't that become a massive international incident that would require investigation anyway? BF: They have done this before. The Titanic was sunk deliberately to get rid of six hundred senior financiers who were opposed to the taking over of the Federal Reserve Board. DW: Wow. BF: They would come up with some story about the Tragedy of Monaco. And the kool-aid drinkers out there would go and believe it! I'm sorry, but that's how it is. THREE DIFFERENT SOURCES CONFIRMED THE MEETING DW: Were you at this meeting yourself, Ben? BF: No. A close colleague of mine was there. And, I confirmed it from two other people who were there, who aren't related to that colleague of mine. DID ANY OLD WORLD ORDER MEMBERS GET TO ATTEND THE MEETING? DW: Now what about people from the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg, or Council on Foreign Relations? BF: They were deliberately excluded. DW: Any one of them, no matter who? BF: No matter who. If they were a member, they weren't allowed. DW: And that's also why Jay Rockefeller wasn't allowed in. BF: That's right. BILDER-BUST Remember the Bilderberger meeting that took place in June, in St. Moritz, Switzerland this year? It was supposed to last until Tuesday. They all had to flee on Sunday night, because they were about to be arrested by the Swiss. DW: Whoa! I never heard that before. BF: Well, it's there! SWISS PARLIAMENT MEMBER BEATEN-AND CALLS IN THE COPS Again, what happened was a Swiss lawmaker tried to get into the site and he was beaten up. He went to the Swiss government and said "I'm a Swiss member of parliament, in my own country, and they beat me up and threw me out. That's illegal." They said "Yes. We'll go arrest them." They all had to pack their suitcases and flee on Sunday night-before being arrested on Monday. DW: So this would have been like a paramilitary swat team that would have swept in. BF: Well yeah-the police authority. DW: Right. BF: So there you go. The Bilderbergers were chased out, with their tails between their legs. DW: Unbelievable! BF: That's there for everybody to see. HOW CAN THESE 80 COUNTRIES ACTUALLY DEFEAT THE CABAL? DW: So you're saying that this meeting in Monaco took place on a ship. You have representatives from 57 countries. You said 80 countries now have signed on to this treaty. Now could we get into some detail about why this is so significant? What did they talk about? How are they going to pull off doing something like this, where these entities-these five corporations-control the world's media? Let's go into that a little bit. ONCE THEY CAN'T PAY THE GOONS, THEY'RE FINISHED BF: They don't control the world's money, you see. Once they lose the control of the goons, the people with the guns, then that's it. PENTAGON PATRIOTS WILL OVERTAKE CABAL MEDIA OUTLETS At a certain point, I believe the Pentagon will probably send people in to the TV headquarters in the US. You're going to see new faces and a totally different story coming out on your TV sets soon. DW: That's also a very heavy statement. ISN'T THE PENTAGON PART OF THE PROBLEM? What is the context of the Pentagon in light of this meeting of 57 different countries? Wouldn't everybody in the Pentagon be part of the Bilderberg / Trilateral Commission thing? BF: No. The Pentagon was represented there. The Bilderberg / Trilateral Commission was not. THE MAJORITY OF THE PENTAGON SUPPORTS THE ALLIANCE DW: What percentage of the Pentagon is on the side of this alliance? BF: I've heard that the only generals who are not on board are like Petraeus. From what I've heard, most of the Joint Chiefs are now with this group. DW: What about lower levels of the hierarchy? Like the soldiers. BF: The lower levels are completely pissed off. They support Ron Paul-and they know that there's something totally wrong. The majority are rejecting the plans, roughly 80-90 percent, from what I heard. You can't win a battle against those odds.] THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE READY FOR REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE The opinion polls in the US show that 87 percent of Americans don't trust Washington. That should tell you the mental state in America now. And they are saying, "We don't want these scumbags in charge anymore." They're angry, but they're not sure who they should be angry at. That's, I think, how the majority of Americans think. They know there is something wrong. They know it has something to do with Wall Street and Washington. They don't know the details, but they wish somebody would come in and do something about it. And that is what is going to happen. These people are going to go to jail. THE "NEOCONS" ARE THE LEADERS OF THE CABAL And I can tell you who the leaders are. People like Henry Kissinger, George Bush Senior, George Bush Junior, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Tony Blair. We know who they are. DW: So these are Neocons and their allies. BF: Neocons is the label that you use for them. That's the group that had this crazy plan that somehow they could take over the world's oil and still control the world through the 21st century. We know who they are. When you take away that curtain, it's like the Wizard of Oz. You pull away the curtain and you see a little old man sitting at the control desk. (crosstalk) And that's what happened when I went... MANY MEDIA NETWORKS DON'T APPEAR TO BE NEOCON OUTLETS DW: (crosstalk) Okay. I think most people would admit that Fox News and News Corporation could be a shill for these guys. But to say... you're basically saying that all the media in America, for the most part, is controlled by these folks? Why would the media not all sound like Fox, then? NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT 9/11 TRUTH BF: How many major networks and Hollywood studios have come out with 9/11 truth? Okay? DW: Good point. BF: Just ask yourself that. And then you can understand. DW: So you would say... BF: (crosstalk) Look, I have to go, but what I'm telling you is this. WE KNOW EXACTLY WHO SPENT THE MONEY We've found this thing called the Global Collateral Accounts. It's a codebook that shows who's been using the world's money since the end of World War II-and for what reason. It has a list of names. For example, who financed the Vietnam War and why. All that kind of stuff. We have these records now. MASSIVE NUMBERS OF NEW WHISTLEBLOWERS COMING FORWARD We're having people abandoning that cabal like rats jumping off a sinking ship. We have a world Who's Who coming to us with information. THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST EVENT IN 2000 YEARS When this happens, this is going to be, I think, ultimately the biggest thing-certainly since World War II. Possibly the biggest thing in two thousand years. We're going to see something... an ancient cabal that has controlled humanity through murder, propaganda and bribery for possibly thousands of years. It is going to come to an end. It's going to be something that has not happened in the history of our planet before. It's going to be incredible... basically we're talking about the end of Babylonian-style tyranny. DW: Wow. BF: That's how far it goes back. VATICAN AND P2 LODGE CLAIM SECRET CONTROL SINCE JULIUS CAESAR Certainly the P2 Freemasonic lodge and the Vatican claim that they have controlled things in secret since the time of Julius Caesar. DW: Wow. BF: I went to Italy. I met them and they tried to poison me. They didn't think I would come alive out of Italy with the information they gave me-but I did. They are very off-base about how the prophecy would be fulfilled, as I discuss in my new book-but they have always been keenly aware of this as their timetable, which is why there is such urgency. Fulford didn't cover it here, but both the Rockefeller and the Rothschild factions are being forced to step down and relinquish control by this 80-country alliance. That's why no Bilderberg / CFR / Trilateral members were allowed in. Some insiders have revealed they are already working out the terms of surrender at a very high level, and the process is quite unbearable for them -- with lots of arguing and bruised egos.] DW: Okay. A couple quick questions just to tie this off. WHO NUKED THE BASES? WAS THIS PART OF THE MONACO ACCORDS? Who did the underground bases, in your estimation? Who nuked them and why? Does it have any relationship with this meeting in Monaco? BF: Yes. It was Pentagon white hats saying to the elite, "You're not going to destroy the surface of the planet and escape yourselves... "If you're going to destroy the surface of the planet, you're going to destroy your families too. You're not going to escape." They made it very clear to them that they are not going to be able to initiate some kind of nuclear holocaust and be able to get away with it. DW: Right. Events like Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Fukushima are much less serious than the scope of what could be done in an all-out nuclear attack. Given the extent to which ETs have powered down any and all Old World Order nuclear assets, it is amazing that the cabal continued to be in denial and believe they would ever be allowed to use them on any significant level.] NOW THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO HIDE These guys must have always thought somehow that these bases were safe. And now none of them are safe. BF: Yes. They had their greenhouses, and their food supplies, and their big-screen TVs, and their supply of women. It's like Dr. Strangelove. "We'll hide in our tunnels with our young ladies while everybody else up on the surface dies." DW: Right. BF: "Then we'll come out and we'll take over the planet-and breed like rabbits." Well, that ain't gonna happen. OK? THEY NOW HAVE DETAILED MAPS AND FILMS OF ALL THE BASES DW: You had said on your blog that some of your people who were there in Monaco have detailed maps of these underground bases. They know exactly where they are. And footage of the bases was shown? BF: That's right. the world governments to show, "Yes, it's true. These crazy people were planning to kill 90 percent of humanity." The world's governments know this. HOW MIGHT THIS EVENT HAPPEN-AND WHEN? DW: Okay, so how can we expect that this event will take place? What might happen and when might it happen? What are we looking at? What are we going into here? What will be the precursors of this? BF: There are several possibilities. The one I'm hearing the most, the one that the Pentagon backs, is a lawsuit that would lead to the arrest of the top cabalists. WILCOCK'S OWN TESTIMONY OF WHAT IS EXPECTED I have been told the insiders are considering seven different ways in which this collapse could happen. All of them are thought to be potentially very imminent, even before the end of the year. No one is certain of the exact timing, though, and the "windows" are always changing based on unpredictable events. The recent announcement of the bankruptcy of the US Postal Service brings us very close to this point already-as one example. THEY'RE PRAYING FOR CHAOS Once this dollar collapse / government bankruptcy is officially acknowledged and recognized by the public at large, the cabal expects riots and social upheaval. Again, I believe they fantasize far too much about the scope and the severity of what will occur. It's undoubtedly a coping mechanism. The cabal members desperately hope the people will turn against each other, as it is their last hope to maintain any control over the situation. The fear-porn scenarios I have heard seem utterly fanciful-particularly since the majority of the military will turn on those who try to harm the public in any way. Some of the technology that will be used to turn against the conspirators is highly classified and highly effective. Most people will probably never know it was used. These "fracking" events will be "friendly fire" indeed. And Americans are not going to hand over their guns and gold. THEY HAVE PLANTED EXPLOSIVES UNDER MANY CRITICAL BRIDGES I did hear that cabal insiders have already planted demolition charges to blow up a large number of critical bridges and runways-isolating various geographical regions and causing food shortages for a period of time. This massive strike, of course, will be blamed on "terrorists" hitting America at its weakest moment. This is one of the strongest real threats we face once this epic announcement is finally made. Exposing these plans spoils any element of surprise. So many insiders are defecting that many, if not most of these explosives will hopefully be located and neutralized in advance-if they haven't already been. However, it may be unrealistic to assume that all of them will be neutralized, since they can all be detonated by remote control at the push of a button. CRITICAL SUPPLIES WILL STILL BE DISTRIBUTED They did hope this attack would lead to mass starvation, anarchy and chaos. However, even with impaired land transit and airport runways, critical supplies will still get where they are needed by the focused efforts of the just-including the military. The nationwide Eisenhower interstate system was built to be used as emergency aircraft runways, for example-and it is far too huge to be able to destroy. Helicopters do not require airstrips either. MASS ARRESTS The official bankruptcy announcement, and the potential shock of widespread bridge and runway detonations, will be immediately followed by mass arrests. This will include key staff from all three branches of government: senators, congressmen, judges and executives. It will also include top military brass, top intelligence personnel, defense contractors, top media moguls, corporate executives, Federal Reserve Board staff, top financiers and "too big to fail" financial entities, et cetera. Fulford has said that the Pentagon may now house these people, at least temporarily, in the very same "detention camps" they had originally planned on using against American citizens. Karma's a bitch. TRYING TO FIND A HIDING PLACE Everyone on this list is scrambling for a place to hide. The bases near Washington DC and Denver were both quite popular due to their convenient locations. Most of the top people had comfy, personalized living spaces already set up in these locations-with their own memorabilia, keepsakes and nostalgic items. Many of these people have also moved their personal belongings to purported safety zones in South America-and only have a minimum number of items left in their own homes in the US. ESCAPE FLIGHTS I am told the cabal members have near-instant escape flights planned. The pilots and aircraft are now on 24-hour notice. Most of these pilots will probably defect. I also have very good intel that the personnel staffing these safety zones have already agreed to turn on them as soon as they arrive. Pilots who do not defect are undoubtedly in mortal peril if they attempt to complete these flights. Fulford also said the South American countries themselves have now agreed to infiltrate and disrupt these zones-and their incoming flights. A MILLION DISPOSSESSED SOULS Fulford has talked at length about how the number of insiders who are fearing for their lives is about a million people. They have been scrambling around the world trying to beg, borrow or steal any land where they could have sanctuary. They have used earthquake and weather weapons to punish countries who denied them access. This includes the Christchurch quake in New Zealand after the cabal was denied use of their lush, southernmost mega-island. North Korea is the first country that is even considering helping them, and this development has only occurred very recently. Kim Jong-Il will only help them if they promise to help him regain control of South Korea. This entire plan is very unlikely to succeed. And now, back to the recorded interview.] THEY MAY SETTLE FOR A TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE BF: But right now, they're also trying to cut a deal. saying, "Hey, look. If you guys will stop the nuclear terror, then maybe we'll forgive you." It's one of those situations where so many people are involved that it is better to have a truth and reconciliation committee rather than a bunch of arrests and beheadings, you know? DW: So you're saying that these underground nuclear strikes against the bases... BF: (crosstalk) What I'm saying is that there either will be thousands of arrests of prominent people, starting with people like Henry Kissinger... Or else, they will cut a deal-and appear before a truth and reconciliation committee in exchange for one time of forgiveness. WHEN MIGHT THIS ALL COME TO A HEAD? DW: Do we have a time window on when this all might come to a head? BF: Well, it's a war. Who knows what crazy stuff they will do next? It could be as early as this fall. It could be as late as next summer. I don't have a precise date. DW: Okay. BF: But I'm hearing we're pretty close now. Also, highly classified documents dating back to 2008 had given a time window of December 2011 for a planned evacuation of the White House due to an "alien invasion". So, in order to throw off these planned timetables, action is now happening very quickly.] DID THE CABAL RETALIATE AGAINST THE RUSSIANS? DW: Do you think the failure of the Russian airplane that had their entire hockey team onboard was in any way related to this war? BF: It's possible. But generally, they would rather get a bunch of generals than hockey players. There was a crash off the coast of Brazil that was involved in this, I know. But I don't know about the hockey players. Specifically, I was told that the average American sports fan is only about one percent as enthusiastic as the average Russian is about their hockey team. Therefore, this plane crash was a groin kick to the Russian people, giving them a withering emotional and psychological attack.] WHAT HAPPENS ONCE THE CABAL IS ACTUALLY DEFEATED? DW: OK. So just in summary, then, could you paint a picture for us? Let's assume that this happened. Let's assume that these 80 countries get what they want. Just pain the picture of what happens. Where do we go as a planet, and how long is it going to take us to get there? BF: It's just common sense. We have the technical ability to end poverty and stop environmental destruction within a year. We just don't have the institutions or the will to do it. So instead of a fake War on Terror, aimed at financing the defense companies forever, in a useless manner, you have some sort of huge campaign, globally: the equivalent of World War III, but a peaceful one. And then, start telling people the truth about their history-which they've been lied to about so much. IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE THE FALL OF JAPAN OR THE USSR-BUT MUCH BETTER start building new institutions that are fair, transparent and meritocratic. Anybody can climb the pyramid and get to the top if they are good enough and determined enough-instead of an inbred family group controlling it. The people of Japan went through it at the end of World War II. Suddenly they were told their emperor was not a god, and that the war wasn't actually ending in victory. Soon everything was about to change. It's going to be like that. Ask anyone who went through the end of the Soviet Union what it was like, and you get a pretty good idea about what is coming. But, unlike the end of the Soviet Union, it is not going to be followed by hardship or poverty. It's going to be followed by an era of unprecedented prosperity and happiness. OK? I've gotta go. DW: Great. Thank you so much.

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.

Jackson Worries Someone Will Try To Kill Obama Date: October 31, 2008 Source: Star Pulse Abstract : Samuel L. Jackson fears Barack Obama will face assassination attempts from racists if he's elected America's first black president next week. Democrat Obama is ahead of Republican opponent John McCain in the polls, and he has tremendous support from the biggest celebrities - including Jackson. But he fears if Obama wins, he will be marked as soon as he takes office next year, if not before. He says, "At some point, somebody is gonna say something about 'that n----- in the White House. They just haven't announced on the news that somebody in the back of some (vice-president candidate) Sarah Palin rally is going, 'Kill that n-----!' "It really bothers me sometimes that we have to be so politically correct. What we fear most as black people, who want him (Obama) to win or be elected, is when is someone gonna try and kill him?

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 Wed, 15 May 2013 06:22:53 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f16_1368613017 omniradar US sinking down into the Syrian quicksand"...I think it is a mistake in Syria, even if we had intervened more significantly a year or six months ago. We overestimate our ability to determine outcomes." ...former Secretary of Defence, Robert Gates ... by Jim.W.Dean America sank down another foot this week into the Syrian quicksand. Israel is putting the next stage of the conflict's tactics on display, not only to the world but to the Syrian military with its last two strikes. As the rebel assault has ground to a halt, and the superior manpower of the Syrian army having shown it can conduct search and clear operations, the Free Syrian army is in a war of attrition it cannot win. It is much easier to recruit when you are winning and casualties not too bad than when the tide turns to stalemate and losing ground. The al-Nusra Front has been bleeding fighters away from the FSA. They are paying better and the AN brigades now have access to weapons the FSA does not. The al-Nusras had strategically focused on key infrastructure acquisition including some of the oil revenue prizes. Win or lose, Assad or no Assad, or even with a negotiated settlement, they aren't leaving. The West has been birthing another training ground in Syria for seasoned extremist Jihadis who will soon be looking for the next fight when Syria calms down. And it is just a matter of time before someone begins slipping them more powerful weaponry. But who will they using it on, next month, a year, or two years from now?Who is in whose crosshairs now? I fear that the West may now feel that the FSA could collapse if a stalemate continues and leave the al-Nusras the primary opposition force controlled by whom? Sure, the Saudis and Qatar warlords are supplying the payrolls and the weapons now, but new suppliers could always emerge, like Assad's stockpiles if there were a collapse. Libyan weapons and fighters are already in Syria with more said to be on the way. Is the CIA helping them hoping to kill two birds with one stone with two groups they want to get rid of fighting each other? And if Assad did fall and the FSA and al-Nusras began a civil war right away with the horrible civilian casualties that would be expected, who would carry that historical blood on their hands? So now we have 'enter stage left' the Israeli intervention. Why? Well, I think you all would agree that they don't view blood on their hands as much of a public relations problem. It never has been, so far. The story goes that the recent attacks were air launched 'stand off' weapons fired over Lebanon airspace at a safe distance from the Russian air defenses in Syria. I say they are Russia not only because of the origins of the missiles, but more importantly, they are manned by Russian air defense troops. None of the post attack analysis I have read so far has dared touch the red line no one will discuss, not even the Americans. What would the Soviets do if their forces who have remained neutral so far other than defending against air attacks, were themselves attacked? Already we see in the corporate press the last Israeli attack has paved the way for public discussion of an impending intervention to get the public use to hearing about it so it is less of a shock when it happens. Reuters was careful to refer to air defenses as Syrian, not Russian. The cover and deception for the latest Israeli strikes were the usual ghost missiles which can always be made to appear where needed to justify an attack. Hezbollah has plenty of missiles, and they are no threat to Israel whatsoever, unless Israel is planning to attack Lebanon. All military planners know this, just like they really know Iran is no offensive threat, but has to be painted as one to keep the American public paying for our forward deployment in that region. Everyone knows that Hezbollah has pulled together whatever it could for a deterrent. Regardless of what anyone might think about the political and ideological differences, once one party is attacked it has legal right to defend itself, as was done in the last Lebanon war. So the democratic West, which calls itself the free world, has besmirched that reputation by officially adopting the preemptive strike doctrine, a la NeoCon/Israeli Lobby madness. This has created a theater of the absurd where everyone knows that false flags will be staged to create the need for full scale response strikes. How is this done? Simple. You do attacks like Israel has just done which are a ploy of course to pull Iran into the quicksand party, too. And if Iran remains cool and does not take the bait (my bet) a false flag can be staged to blame you know who, with the motive being retaliation by the Iranians for the aforementioned pre-emptive attacks on the Syrians. The uniformed public would generally buy that scenario. But there is a problem. The public has had many years now to educate themselves about the rogue element operating behind the scenes in Western countries to trigger wars nowadays, and they take nothing on face value. When the weaker attack the stronger, everyone smells a setup. But keeping home country casualties low is critical to getting the public to accept aggressive military action with a smile. They already know when the bill comes due who is going to suffer the budget cutbacks, and it is not the defense contractors. If conventional Western military superiority is deceptively used in what is clearly wanton aggression, terrorism will be fueled by new generations, and the miniaturization of nuclear weapons will eventually find their way into their hands, where it will be payback time. The Israelis tested world reaction to their repeated invasions of Lebanese air space, and it was basically zero. The UN is beginning to understand that the more it condemns aggressions and is totally ignored, the weaker it looks and is held in contempt. The Lebanon incursions were just a warm-up to what they are doing now, and the world outrage has only gone up a slight notch as we get closer and closer to the big trap being sprung, which is giving the rebels heavy weapons and air cover to renew their offensive. A negotiated settlement has been totally rejected by the West, and a lot of innocent people will die for that poor judgment. The Israelis could never risk losing planes over Syria. Our Intel sources have confirmed that Israeli mobile 155mm howitzers forayed into Syria during the night to shell the Syrian army position with 70 to 80 rounds over a grid area. If you watch the YouTube video and turn the volume up you can hear and see them coming in as they sound like a train. The big explosion was an ammo dump or an Israeli bunker buster being tested out, sending a signal maybe to the underground Syria military high command that they can be struck. We heard soon after that depleted uranium had been used... bunker buster material and something not used against missiles in transport. The Russians have more advanced missiles, longer range, which can shoot down the Israeli planes over Lebanon. They can also strike Israeli airbases with their missile subs. Would the Russians do it if their air defense missile positions were attacked? I think so. How could they not respond? Such is the game of chicken that is being played here. If the NATO countries joined in a general air attack against Syria, would the Russians cut off their gas pipelines? And what would that do to the delicate financial position the EU is in now, being the house of cards that it is? And who would be blamed for the financial devastation that ensued, those defending themselves, or those who were clearly the aggressors? And if the respective publics then wanted their leaders heads on pikes, do the elites in their countries have ready plans to save themselves by triggering 'the big one' in terms of a huge terror attack in their own countries to blame on you know who? Would they really do that to save themselves? They have already done it... not to save themselves but purely out of greed, and they got away with it. If their survival were at stake they would kill their own people without hesitation. So the time folks to start raising holy hell about these bogus military threat scenarios is NOW. If we wait until afterward the damage will be done and most of our fellow citizens will probably be cowering in place. What they won't do now, they will not do later when they are poorer and weaker. The elites know that, and are betting on it. That is why they are playing with all of our lives like they are now. It's a supremacist thing with them. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f16_1368613017 omniradar US sinking down into the Syrian quicksand Syria
