- GREETINGS
- "Having made known unto
us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which
he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the
fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in
Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even
in him:
-
- In whom also we have obtained
an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose
of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted
in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word
of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that
ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,Which
is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the
purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
-
- Wherefore I also, after I
heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the
saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you
in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father
of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of him:
-
- The eyes of your understanding
being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling,
and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who
believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which
he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set
him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all
principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name
that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which
is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave
him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his
body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." (Ephesians 1:9-23 KJV)

- We believe every word in the KJV Bible and believe it is
the Word of God and that Jesus is the Christ, God Himself, who
spilled His blood on the cross for our sins and rose again to
prepare a place for those who repent and accept 'His' righteousness
as their righteousness. They are those who accept Jesus Christ
as their Lord and Savior, Jews first and then Gentiles. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with me." We
invite you to take this opportunity to say 'yes' to Jesus and

- MORE GREETINGS to all and the newcomers to this list. We'd
like to introduce ourselves. George and Rita Williams founded
this ministry. We were Mormons (Temple Mormons) for 20 years.
We prayed to God in 1992 to allow us to do a ministry speaking
out against Scientology. Six months later God led us to the truth:
out of the cult of Mormonism. We did not know at the time we
were in a cult. No-one had witnessed to us in 20 years.
- The Holy Spirit brought us to information about all the cults
and the present development of the New World Order. We began
bringing our research to you. Because all the research was already
done, we decided to build a library within Cephas Ministry. Our
newsletters are not designed to provoke
anger which is strictly prohibited in Scripture. It is to shed
light on activities by those who would deceive those who are
recorded in the Book of Life by devious methods and systematic
plans.
- We are Bible students and have left all worldly organizations.
We attend church if the message is from the authorized KJV Bible.
The focus of these newsletters is to prove why we had to leave
the world system. We are called 'Watchmen on the Wall' which
God always had during the Old / New Testament Times.
- To understand what is happening, one has to know the Bible
to compare notes.
- The first section is about the church.
The news about churches is unedited unless indicated by Ednotes.
The church as we knew it, is undergoing disintegration. This
began on a fast track in the early nineteen sixties when the
Catholic Church produced liberal Vatican II to replace Vatican
I.
- The trend since then has been ecumenical which is truly what
the word 'Catholicism' means: a universal religion all
inclusive and multicultural. The Bible calls for a final church
and today's church doesn't resemble what Jesus taught. The Word
of God has undergone many changes to fit the progressive modes.
Many new Bible tranlations have brought confusion. The Bible
calls for a falling away from the truth before
Jesus comes back for His Bride. The true believers are called
'Ekklesia.' Our newsletters prove this fact and prove that the
Bible is true from beginning to end.
- The second section is about globalism
where we bring your attention to the social, political and global
trend, the so called democratizing what is left of the world.
This is a deception since the underlying new world global government
is developed by implementing sustainable development. The
Bible prophesies that there will be ten kings (ten horns), each
king (horn) will receive a region of the world as a reward for
work well done for the Antichrist. This is the reason for the
present development of NAU (The North American Union) as well
as the war in the Middle East. It again proves that we are moving
to closure of the times of the Gentiles prophesied in the Bible.
The end result will not be Democracy but a form of Fascist Communism
(Public/Private Corporations enslaving mankind).
- The third section compliments End Time
teachings because Israel is the time piece of the Biblical Prophecy.
1948 was the beginning of the figtree representing Israel, coming
back to life. Israel was allowed to return to its land. Israel
is the rock upon which the world stumbles and crumbles. We watch
and visit Israel for signs which point to the Tribulation to
confirm that we are moving into that space of time.
- Watchmen on the wall do not solicit memberships. We have
an email group that gets information when we upload new information
and newsletters whenever it is possible time wise. We love the
Lord with all our hearts and minds and we love all people God
has created but especially those who love our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Our Mission and Statement of Faith are at http://www.cephasministry.com/statement_of_faith.html

- We trust that
our readers will not be discouraged. It is Gods
will that we know the times (1 Ch. 12:32; Mat. 16:3) and that we be as wise as serpents
and harmless as doves.
- The Cephas
Newsletter reminds us that the hour is very late, and we need
to be ready for the Lords coming. Are you sure that
you are born again? Are you living for Christ?
-
- "And
that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out
of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not
in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness,
not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof"
(Rom.
13:11-14).

TEACH THE WHOLE GOSPEL
- "I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel
of God. Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock,
among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd
the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. For
I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come
in among you, not sparing the flock." Acts 20:28-29
- "...you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and
sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit
who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we
all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling
the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature
children of wrath, just as the others.
"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love
with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses,
made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly
places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show
the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in
Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works,
lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created
in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand
that we should walk in them."
- Ephesians 2:1-10. Submitted by Leonard Granger

SHUN ANY MARKETING OF THE GOSPEL
- "...we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel
of God in much conflict. For our exhortation did not come from
error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit. But as we have been
approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak,
not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts." 1 Thessalonians
2:2-4
- "For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast
of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not
preach the gospel! For if I do this willingly, I have a reward;
but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.
What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may
present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse
my authority in the gospel." 1 Corinthians 9:16-18
- "...as we have been approved by God to be entrusted
with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God
who tests our hearts. For neither at any time did we use flattering
words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness -- God is witness.
Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others,
when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ. But we
were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her
own children. So, affectionately longing for you, we were well
pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also
our own lives, because you had become dear to us. For you remember,
brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that
we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the
gospel of God." 1 Thessalonians 2:4-9
- "But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not
walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully,
but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every
mans conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel
is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds
the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the
light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image
of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves,
but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for
Jesus sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine
out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
2 Corinthians 4:2-6
- "Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph
in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge
in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among
those who are saved and among those who are perishing. To the
one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other
the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for
these things? For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of
God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight
of God in Christ." 2 Corinthians 2:14-17

WHY I LEFT THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
CHURCH
- [Ellen White was cast out of the Methodist Church 1843]
(keep scrolling) sda.pdf
- I joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church by baptism through
immersion, in the latter months [November I believe] of 1974,
and was hired to be a radio evangelist [This is what God considered
it for me, and thus I obeyed], in December of that year, at a
salary of $2.00 per hour, as a married man, and this less than
half of the salary I was making as a Taxi-driver, the only thing
I was prepared for, having spent seven years as a drug and alcohol
user and rock/jazz musician/percussionist. Before the Spirit
of Christ spoke to me on August 19, 1974, I was a very psychologically
sick man, sinning in most areas, being a lover of wine, women
and song, and surely addicted to them all! Praise God, although
I was using needles, injecting Heroin, Cocaine, Mandrex, Seconal,
and smoking a great deal of marijuana and other drugs [LSD, MDA,
peyote, all of these hallucinogens], doing all of this, together
with alcohol, every day, I want you to know I was extremely sick
indeed!
- On August 19, 9 days after my 25th birthday, the Spirit of
Christ came to me as I read the Scriptures for the very first
time, and explained to me clearly in what I would call a vision,
that although I thought I was a nice guy, because I was never
a mean person, always shared the things I had with friends, and
gave money away freely, because I had to sell to use, all that
I thought about my own righteousness, was absolutely incorrect,
AND unless I had the character of the Lord Jesus Christ, upon
death, I could never find a place in Heaven, and the Earth Made
New! The knowledge that God was indeed a reality, blew my mind,
and I immediately told Him to take my own will, because it had
never truly given me anything godly, and in its stead, please
give me His mind: and immediately the Spirit of Christ entered
into me, and "I could see!" I cried for what seemed
an hour, for as a young Catholic boy, I had a relationship with
God, which, although childish and brief, I had cherished, until
at 13 I was taught sexuality by an 18 year old girl, who thought
the world of me, and taught me things I knew nothing about, but
after I had learned, had become fascinated by, and could not
do without anymore! I pray for her today.
- It took me a very short time, to be led to the SDA Church,
wherein I was certain, there was greater light from Heaven, than
in any of the other denominations I had dealt with, in desiring
to find a denominational home, AND during this time of seeking,
I was surely on fire for Jesus! As I studied and prayed, and
walked hand in hand with Jesus, I learned much! One of those
things that I learned, but kept only in my heart, was that Adventists
for the most part, had not a very strong understanding of Calvary
- they knew little about the death of the self, and the growth
by creation of the Holy Spirit, of the New Man who would be after
the character of Christ, which was the entire reason why Jesus
died for us! http://www.cephas-library.com/sda_why_I_left_the_seventh-day_adventist_church.html

THEY SHALL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK
« Why Jesus Heals the Sick Drugs; Alcohol; Unclean Habits;
The Works Of Evil Spirits »
They Shall Lay Hands On The Sick And They Shall Recover Jesus
said it plainly, "..they shall lay hands on the sick, and
they shall recover" (St. Mark 16:18b). There is great resistance
in the church world against any emphasis on Divine Healing. There
has been an incredible number of false preachers and questionable
practices connected with this subject. It is Satans business
to produce so many false statements and claims that good people
leave the truth alone. I have been a Christian for 58 years and
I have seen or heard almost every crazy thing possible. At the
same time I have continued to see real miracles in our ministry.
I refuse to let the devils false claims cause me to doubt
the Word of God. We have a brother right here in the Paw Creek
church that had a gripping heart attack. I was out of town; but
when I returned, I went to his home to pray. He was marvelously
healed and went out to eat breakfast the very next morning. Just
about six months ago he had a shattering stroke. His face was
twisted and his speech was gone. Within one hour he was perfectly
healed and every semblance of the stroke disappeared. Thats
just two of many miracles that I have seen. I have seen a tumor
disappear, cancer healed, and a host of beautiful answers to
prayer. A dear lady testified last Sunday morning that her knee
that was healed two weeks before and she has not had one pain
in those two weeks. The Bible is to be believed, not guestioned.
If you will not doubt, nothing that God has promised can be denied.
The supernatural Bible cannot fail. "Is any sick among you?
let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And
the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise
him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven
him" (James 5:14-15). Our God is a Supernatural God! To

- THE MORMONS AND THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ARE THE SAME ORGANIZATION
- by David Icke - May 23, 2010 - It's amazing how everything
fits together in the world of the Illuminati if you are prepared
to dig deep enough. The people and organisations who attack and
abuse each other in public, or appear to be in competition, turn
out over and over to be different masks on the same face. Take
the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses (if we must). We are
told they are different organisations which stand for different
"beliefs" and the followers of both would be aghast
at the thought that they could be connected in any way. But then
the mass of unthinking followers in any religion are merely the
fodder and the screen behind which the real business goes on.
The founders of both "faiths", the Mormons and JWs,
were of the Illuminati bloodline. Charles Taze Russell, who founded
the Watchtower Society (JWs), was of the Illuminati Russell bloodline,
which also founded the infamous Skull and Bones Society at Yale
University. Charles Taze Russell was a Satanist, a paedophile
according to his wife, and a friend of the Rothschilds. Indeed
it was the Rothschilds who funded the Jehovah's Witness operation
into being, along with other Illuminati bankers, through "contributions"
by organisations like the Rothschild-controlled B'nai B'rith.
This was proved in a court of law in 1922. One of the key people
involved in this was Frank Goldman who later became President
of B'nai B'rith. Why would an organisation set up (in theory)
to help Jewish people and promote the Jewish faith, be funding
into existence the Jehovah's Witnesses?? I think the name Rothschild
answers the question. Russell was also a high degree Freemason
and Knights Templar. He promoted Zionism, another Rothschild
creation (see Was Hitler a Rothschild), on behalf of his friends
and backers.
- Joseph Smith, along with Hiram Smith and Brigham Young, were
the key figures behind the creation of the Mormon religion. They
were of the elite of the elite Illuminati bloodline, the Merovingian
or "Holy Grail" line, and were all high degree Freemasons.
They were also Satanists and formed their "church"
as a front for Satanic activity which very much still goes on
today. Why wouldn't it, that is what it is there for. The Mormon
empire was funded into existence by the Rothschilds through their
Kuhn, Loeb, bank which also funded the Russian Revolution and
Adolf Hitler, and yet again B'nai Brith, the Rothschild intelligence
arm and defamer of genuine researchers, was involved.

- A POLITICAL TSUNAMI IS BEGINNING IT WILL SWEEP AWAY
OBAMA AND HIS CZARS?
- By Robert L Bufkin - September 8, 2010 The political roadside
bombs, so cleverly hidden from view in the election of 2008 are
detonating daily now, right on time. The present problems in
America cannot be labeled either Democratic or Republican. True,
the Chicago crime machine empire, knew that the large block vote
of the black communities was solid and never changed, due mostly
to the unalterable genetic fact of their African heritage and
skin color. They saw Barack Hussein Obama as a tool they could
use to garner the votes of both sides of the racial divide. Obama
could win the election for he could touch the long standing desire
of the blacks to take the money of America as their own, as damages
for slavery crimes of the past, and at the same time, ride the
false guilt placed on every white American who would vote for
him out of a guilty conscience.
- The trick was to make every white person in America accept
the guilt for slavery which some of their forefathers engaged
in. The transfer of guilt from generation to generation is the
basic method of Black Liberation Theology. The
success of that hate-whitey campaign is seen by the titanic sized
evil hate whitey attitudes of blacks like Sharpton and Jackson
and Wright and Farrakhan (the JWFS hate-whitey brigade) and others
who get rich teaching racism-against whites. They teach all blacks
to look at all whites and say: "You owe me whitey".
"You owe me man"The crowning achievement of Black
Liberation Theology is to cause the black population
to live with the mentality of:"The white man owes me a living".
Blacks once again become slaves, chained to their own lower natures
by that depraved anti-Christian doctrine. So instead of setting
the victims free, the JWFS brigade sends them right back to the
plantation system of slavery days where the white Mustah takes
care of everything for his black workers. The Political Wing
of the Chicago mafia knew that the tsunami like energy of the
white electorate had been taken hostage by a prodigious burden
of false guilt embosomed upon every white person, from President
George Washington down to the present generation by the JWFS
hate-whitey brigade and all their evangelists whose only doctrine
is racism. Continued: http://www.cephas-library.com/apostasy_black_liberation_theology.html

- THE MARXIST ROOTS OF BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY
- by Anthony B. Bradley - What is Black Liberation Theology
anyway? Barack Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright catapulted
black liberation theology onto a national stage, when America
discovered Trinity United Church of Christ. Understanding the
background of the movement might give better clarity into Wright's
recent vitriolic preaching. A clear definition of black theology
was first given formulation in 1969 by the National Committee
of Black Church Men in the midst of the civil-rights movement:
- Black theology is a theology of black liberation. It seeks
to plumb the black condition in the light of God's revelation
in Jesus Christ, so that the black community can see that the
gospel is commensurate with the achievements of black humanity.
Black theology is a theology of 'blackness.' It is the affirmation
of black humanity that emancipates black people from White racism,
thus providing authentic freedom for both white and black people.
It affirms the humanity of white people in that it says 'No'
to the encroachment of white oppression.
- In the 1960s, black churches began to focus their attention
beyond helping blacks cope with national racial discrimination
particularly in urban areas. Continued: http://www.acton.org/pub/commentary/2008/04/02/

- A GERMAN'S VIEW ON ISLAM
- A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World
War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When
asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave
can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were
true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German
pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those
who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority
just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it,
they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world
had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration
camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.' We are told again
and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the
religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just
want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may
be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff,
meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the
specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of
Islam.
- The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in
history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who
wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics
who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout
Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in
an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder,
or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after
mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and
hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who
teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers. The
hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent
majority,' is cowed and extraneous. http://www.cephas-library.com/islam_a_german_view_of_islam.html

- CHRISTIAN BLOGGER REVEALS AMAZING ISLAMIC-CATHOLIC CONNECTION:
MARY
- Ed Rodgers - edauthor@roadrunner.com - MEDIA ADVISORY, Sept.
21 /Christian Newswire/ -- In his latest edition, Christian blogger,
Ed Rodgers, reveals an amazing connection between Islam and Catholicism
he discovered while researching his latest book (www.edrodgers.net/islam-and-the-last-days).
At the center of the connection is the doctrine of Mary, which
Muhammad learned from Catholic friends and business associates.
The Qur'an reflects what he learned from them. It refers to Jesus
as "Jesus, son of Mary" rather than "Son of God."
It gives Jesus high marks, but not as high as Mary, and denies
His claim to be God's Son. She has become the Savior, not Jesus.
- So, what is it about Mary that captivates Muslims so much?
Her apparitions. Muslims have always been into the mystical and
the superstitious. Mary fits right in. We tend to think only
of Catholics when we hear of the magical appearances of Mary
and her spiritual messages. Muslims have been flocking to these
same sites. One of the most dramatic examples occurred during
the last century, when a remarkable series of events occurred
at a Coptic Orthodox church in Zeitoun, Egypt. A woman that onlookers
believed was Mary, appeared in the form of an apparition, performing
signs, wonders, and healings. The same woman appeared several
nights each week for years. The vast majority of spectators were
Muslims. Today, an increasing number of Muslims are making pilgrimages
to Marian shrines. Continued: http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/2110915023.html

POPE SERVED SUMMONS: CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, CHILD ABUSE, TRAFFICKING
Deborah Dupré Human Rights Examiner September 20th, 2010
8:20 pm ET"Our Tribunal has been sponsored by groups of
survivors of Catholic church torture in five countries, and is
securing legal and political support around the world. Joseph
Ratzinger cannot evade the fact that he is personally liable
for aiding and abetting child rapists within his church."
- Kevin Annett, Sept 20, 2010
A Public Summons to Pope Benedict
was delivered today at the residence of the Vatican Ambassador
to England in south London. Human rights defender, the former
United Church of Canada minister noted for taking Christ's teachings
to heart, Rev. Kevin Annette delivered the summons after leading
a 20,000 people protest this weekend against the Pope for alleged
complicity in crimes against humanity, child abuse and trafficking.
- The Summons was issued by the newly-formed International
Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, that has asked Pope
Benedict to appear before its opening hearing on April 4, 2011
in London. Rev. Annett delivered the Summons to the Papal Nuncio
office on behalf of the Tribunal.
- The Summons asks the Pope to respond to charges that he is
complicit in crimes against humanity, child abuse and trafficking,
and that he has failed to respond to inquiries into the deaths
of more than 50,000 children in church-run Indian residential
schools in Canada. (see a copy of the Summons, below.. Continued:

Now that Paisley has submitted Northern Ireland to the coalition

his purpose--- wonderfully! Paisley enabled the Jesuits to take
their final step towards the ultimate annihilation of Irish Protestantism---
a most necessary step of there is to be a Roman Catholic European

- NEW TLC SERIES TP END 'DISCRIMINATION' AGAINST POLYGAMY
- [EDNOTE: SINCE ISLAM PRACTICES POLYGAMY I EXPECT POLYGAMY
TO BECOME LEGAL SOON.- ENDOF NOTE] - By Kathleen Gilbert - UTAH,
September 16, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The stars of a controversial
new TLC television show are gearing up to help change America's
idea of the family, encourage an end to what they call discrimination
and promote legal acceptance of a new definition of marriage.
But this Utah family is not concerned about redefining marriage
as between two men or two women, but as between one man and two,
three, four, or more women.
"I just fell in love, and then I fell in love again, and
then I fell in love again," says Kody Brown, a fundamentalist
Mormon, in a sneak peek at the upcoming show. Brown considers
himself to have three wives: Meri, Janelle, and Christine, and
is planning to marry a fourth, Robyn, whose trials learning how
to become a member of the "sister wives" appears to
form the series' focal point. http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/sep/10091609.html

- UFO ALIENS: GIVE A WARNING TO HUMANITY AT AMERICAN NUCLEAR
SITESl
- By Grant Lawrence - Bodhi Thunder - For years there have
been reports of UFOs disrupting the operation of Nukes at Air
Force bases. Now a group of officers will be holding a press
conference on September 27th, at the National Press Club in Washington
D.C. to tell of their experiences with UFO compromising American
nuclear weapons. ....Witness testimony from more than 120 former
or retired military personnel points to an ongoing and alarming
intervention by unidentified aerial objects at nuclear weapons
sites, as recently as 2003. In some cases, several nuclear missiles
simultaneously and inexplicably malfunctioned while a disc-shaped
object silently hovered nearby. Six former U.S. Air Force officers
and one former enlisted man will break their silence about these
events at the National Press Club and urge the government to
publicly confirm their reality.
One of them, ICBM launch officer Captain Robert Salas, was on
duty during one missile disruption incident at Malmstrom Air
Force Base and was ordered to never discuss it. Another participant,
retired Col. Charles Halt, observed a disc-shaped object directing
beams of light down into the RAF Bentwaters airbase in England
and heard on the radio that they landed in the nuclear weapons
storage area. Both men will provide stunning details about these
events, and reveal how the U.S. military responded....(source:
reuters) I don't believe the Air Force Officers that will come
forward about UFOs compromising nukes are lying. Rather the UFO
activity over American nuclear installations appears to have
started with Roswell. Roswell was where the planes flew out of
to drop the first atomic bombs on Japan. Not far from Roswell,
was the first test of a nuclear bomb at the Trinity test site.
This leads us to a larger issue. Why would UFO Aliens be concerned
with humanity's nuclear development?

- PASTOR ACCUSER: SEX ENCOUNTERS ON CHURCH GROUNDS
The Associated Press - Sept. 29, 2010 - ATLANTA One of
four men accusing megachurch Bishop Eddie Long of coercing them
into inappropriate sexual relationships said in a TV interview
that aired Wednesday that he and the pastor would have encounters
before and after worship services on church grounds.
- Jamal Parris, 22, told Fox TV affiliate WAGA that they engaged
in sexual acts at Long's home, in his car and his office at New
Birth Missionary Baptist Church in surburban Atlanta, similar
to claims he made in his lawsuit last week.
- The Atlanta station is airing its interview with Parris,
done outside a convenience store in Colorado, over several days.
In the segment Tuesday, Parris said he loved the pastor and considered
him a father figure, but still called him a "predator"
and a "monster." The four men, all former members of
New Birth, say they were teenagers when Long enticed them with
clothes, cars, cash and lavish trips to lure them into sexual
relationships.
- "You can't believe the place you are at in your life
and the things you are doing and the cars you are driving, and
the people you are meeting," Parris said. "So, it becomes,
if I want to continue to feel this love and this power, I'll
do whatever my dad wants me to." Long's spokesman Art Franklin
had no comment on the latest interview. Continued:

- RELIGIOUS LEADERS LINE UP BEHIND GROUND ZERO MOSQUE
'We have the right to the free exercise of our faith' - Posted:
October 02, 2010 - 12:35 am Eastern - By Michael Carl - WorldNetDaily
- The Anti-Defamation League, responding to the public rejection
of the idea of an Islamic mosque near Ground Zero in New York,
has assembled an "Interfaith Coalition on Mosques"
to offer support for the right to build religious facilities.
The group includes clergy from a multitude of faith traditions,
including Executive Director Richard Land of the Southern Baptist
Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.
- Land said the purpose for the coalition is clear. "To
help support the First Amendment for all Americans we
have the right to the free exercise of our faith without the
interference of the government. For over a hundred years, the
Supreme Court has ruled that's not just the federal government,
it's all government," Land stated.
- Listen to Richard Land:
- "We agree with that as Baptists. We believe that people
have the freedom to worship and to express their faith and to
have houses of worship in the places where they live," Land
added.
- However, Americans for Peace and Tolerance founder and president
Charles Jacobs says the coalition project proves the ADL has

- FREE SPEECH CASES AT TOP OF SUPREME COURT'S AGENDA
MARK SHERMAN - From Associated Press - October 02, 2010 10:31
AM EDT - WASHINGTON (AP) First
Amendment cases top the Supreme Court's docket as it begins a
new term with a new justice and three women on the bench for
the first time. The court will look at provocative anti-gay protests
at military funerals and a California law banning the sale of
violent video games to children. These cases worry free speech
advocates, who fear the court could limit First Amendment freedoms.
- The funeral protest lawsuit, over signs praising American
war deaths, "is one of those cases that tests our commitment
to the First Amendment," said Steven Shapiro, legal director
of the American Civil Liberties Union.
- Another case involves a different aspect of the First Amendment,
the government's relationship to religion. The justices will
decide whether Arizona's income tax credit scholarship program,
in essence, directs state money to religious schools in violation
of the constitutional separation of church and state.

- THE COMING EVANGELICAL COLLAPSE
By THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, MICHAEL SPENCER - 10 March
2009 at 6:00 PM - Reposted from: http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0310/p09s01-coop.html
An anti-Christian chapter in Western history is about to begin.
But out of the ruins, a new vitality and integrity will rise.
ONEIDA, KY. - We are on the verge within 10 years
of a major collapse of evangelical Christianity. This breakdown
will follow the deterioration of the mainline Protestant world
and it will fundamentally alter the religious and cultural environment
in the West. Within two generations, evangelicalism will be a
house deserted of half its occupants. (Between 25 and 35 percent
of Americans today are Evangelicals.) In the "Protestant"
20th century, Evangelicals flourished. But they will soon be
living in a very secular and religiously antagonistic 21st century.
This collapse will herald the arrival of an anti-Christian chapter
of the post-Christian West. Intolerance of Christianity will
rise to levels many of us have not believed possible in our lifetimes,
and public policy will become hostile toward evangelical Christianity,
seeing it as the opponent of the common good.
Millions of Evangelicals will quit. Thousands of ministries will
end. Christian media will be reduced, if not eliminated. Many
Christian schools will go into rapid decline. I'm convinced the
grace and mission of God will reach to the ends of the earth.
But the end of evangelicalism as we know it is close. Continued:

- EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH RECEIVES THREE LESBIAN CLERGY
Three lesbian ministers were received Saturday on to the official
clergy roster of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
by Lillian Kwon Posted: Monday, September 20, 2010, 8:32 (EST)
- Anita Hill, Ruth Frost and Phyllis Zillhart, who were ordained
at least a decade earlier, beamed wide smiles after the "rite
of reception" was complete.
The three are not newcomers to the church, noted the Rev. Peter
Rogness, bishop of the St. Paul synod. They are long-distance
runners who have been part of the ministry for years. Only now,
the ELCA is opening the door more widely and "drawing the
circles of welcome more broadly," he said before hundreds
of people at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, Minn.
Twenty years have passed since Frost and Zillhart who
have been together for 26 years were ordained "extraordinarily"
by St. Francis Lutheran Church in San Francisco. The ELCA did
not allow for the ordination of partnered homosexuals at the
time and expelled the congregation.
Hill, who has had a lesbian partner for 17 years, was also ordained
"extraordinarily" in 2001 by St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran
Church. Her church was censured by the ELCA.

- SURVEY: AMERICANS DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT RELIGION
AP By RACHEL ZOLL, AP Religion Writer Rachel Zoll, Ap Religion
Writer Tue Sep 28, 3:42 pm ET
A new survey of Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists,
agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman
Catholics in answering questions about major religions, while
many respondents could not correctly give the most basic tenets
of their own faiths.
Forty-five percent of Roman Catholics who participated in the
study didn't know that, according to church teaching, the bread
and wine used in Holy Communion is not just a symbol, but becomes
the body and blood of Christ.
More than half of Protestants could not identify Martin Luther
as the person who inspired the Protestant Reformation. And about
four in 10 Jews did not know that Maimonides, one of the greatest
rabbis and intellectuals in history, was Jewish. Continued: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_rel_religious_literacy_poll

- SOUTHERN BAPTIST OFFICER SAYS PASTORS ARE AFRAID TO PREACH
THE TRUTH
Friday Church News Notes, David Cloud - October 1, 2010 - Ron
Herrod, the first vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention,
says that pastors are afraid to preach the truth. He told the
Baptist Press: We seem to be afraid today to tell the truth
about doctrine, about moral issues, about spiritual warfare.
... Our people in our churches need to know some of the old truths
such as the fear of God, which we dont hear much about
these days, holiness, repentance (Declare Truth in
Pulpits, SBC 1st VP Says, BP News, Sept. 22, 2010). Thank
you, Ron. You are right about this, and we have been saying it
for decades! Broadly speaking, in the SBC youre not going
to hear straightforward preaching on the whole counsel of God
and warning about all of the isms that Gods people are
facing. You might hear Heaven sweet, but not Hell hot. You might
hear a half-apologetic call to separate from the world in vague
generalities, but not in any down-to-earth detail. You will not
hear any warnings about rock and country music. You might hear
a vague warning about the danger of heretics in general,
but you wont hear the names of the heretics that Southern
Baptists love, such as Robert Schuller, Norman Vincent Peale,
Jack Hayford, Richard Foster, Dallas Willard, John Michael Talbot,
Rob Bell, Brennan Manning, G.K. Chesterton, Brian McLaren, Tony
Campolo, and William Young. You might hear a vague warning about
compromise within evangelicalism, but you wont
hear that some of the chief compromisers of our day are popular
men such as Billy Graham, James Dobson, Rick Warren, Charles
Swindoll, David Jeremiah, Beth Moore, Greg Laurie, Max Lucado,
Philip Yancey, Bill Hybels, John Maxwell, Chuck Colson, Joseph
Stowell, and Jim Cymbala. Not only will you not hear this type
of preaching at the vast majority of Southern Baptist churches,
but you wont hear it in most Independent Baptist churches
today, either. http://www.wayoflife.org

- BONE CHILLING SPEECH
In a generation or two, the US
will ask itself: Who lost Europe ?' Here is the speech of Geert
Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands , at the
Four Seasons, New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots
and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem . I come
to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world.
There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult
to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization
of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the
future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer
survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of
Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe. First I will
describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will
say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about
a meeting in Jerusalem ...
The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks..
But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from
your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world
of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim
neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are
even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for
the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women
walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group
of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk
three steps ahead. There are mosques on many street corners.
The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed
to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled
by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they
are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks
for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe
, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger
congregations than there are in churches. And in every European
city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every
church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule. Many European
cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam ,
Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of
the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by
a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular
name among boys in many cities. Continued: http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/this-is-bone-chilling---read-every-single-word/blog-357415/

-
A book called The Ragamuffin Gospel, first published
in 1990, continues to have a polluting effect upon individuals
and churches.
This book first came to my attention as I was researching contemporary
Christian music in 1998 in preparation for the publication of
Contemporary Christian Music Under the Spotlight. Some of the
most influential CCM musicians are mightily impressed with The
Ragamuffin Gospel. Notable among these are Michael W. Smith (who
wrote the foreword to The Ragamuffin Gospel), Michael Card (who
named his oldest son after the author of The Ragamuffin Gospel),
and the late Rich Mullins (who formed the Ragamuffin Band).
The author of The Ragamuffin Gospel is Brennan Manning. Although
he is a Roman Catholic, the book is published by Multnomah Press,
the printing arm of Multnomah College of the Bible, an alleged
evangelical institution.
In spite of his gross heresies, Manning has been well-received
into evangelical circles.

- CRISIS IN THE AMERICAN CHURCH
By Jill Rische - What is happening to the leadership of the Church
today? Why do so many seem to care more for popularity and publishing
contracts than for the souls of men and women dying in their
sins? Since when does preaching the gospel take a back seat to
public image? Mega-church pastors preach sermons casting Judas
as a poor, misunderstood guy caught up in the politics of his
time. Maybe he didn't mean to betray Jesus-it was his destiny
after all, so how can it be fair? Maybe God forgave him in the
end. Other pastors spend Sunday mornings bottle-feeding their
sheep before sending them out to the coffee shop in the lobby;
still others talk about everything under the sun except what
will happen to people who turn their backs on God. And then we
have some front-line defenders of the faith-Christian apologists-worshipping
with Mormons in their Tabernacle and making plans to celebrate
Joseph Smith's birthday. Bringing up the rear are the prosperity
name it and claim it preachers who shout about faith, and then
beg us for money. I ask you: where is their faith? Why do they
ask me for money when they can ask God? And why do they visit
doctors and schedule surgeries? We are looking apostasy in the
eye . . . it is coming. http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=1462

- THE NEW MYSTICS, TORONTO, IHOP, DRUNKENNESS
The New Mystics: 'The New Mystics,' are one of the most recent
movements growing within the church of the western world today.
John Crowder, a former alcoholic and drug user, is the most prominent
leader amongst them. Dave Vaughan is the most well known figure
in the UK. He is presently a contestant on the reality TV program
'Big Brother' and was invited on the show following an article
the 'Sun' newspaper published about them. The 'New Mystics' believe
they are involved in a great new move of God designed to attract
the young into the church, especially former drug users and night
clubbers. They claim they are Gods antidote to the 'religion'
they perceive to be making churches, including charismatic fellowships,
unpopular amongst unbelievers today.
Getting stoned on God: These believers have taken the idea of
getting drunk on the Holy Spirit one step further and think that
God is now giving them drug highs from the Spirit. This is reflected
in the phrases they use such as 'tokin the Ghost' and 'getting
high on the Most High.' Their behaviour is so bazaar that many
may not believe this unless they see it for themselves; I have
therefore included several video links below, the first three

- OBAMA CLAIMS "I'M A CHRISTIAN BY CHOICE" BUT GOVERNS
AS A MUSLIM
"I'm a Christian by choice," said President Obama yesterday
on the campaign trail, losing his mid-term elections and trying
to win Christian votes. Obama seeks to overcome public opinion
polls in which 18% say he is Muslim and 43% say Obama's religion
is unknown. But here's my question: Why does he campaign like
a Christian, but govern like a Muslim?
1) While governing, Obama said, "I am a Muslim, the son
of a Muslim father and stepson of a Muslim stepfather, my half-brothers
in Kenya are Muslims, and I am sympathetic to the Muslim agenda,"
during a private meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Abul
Gheit last year.
2) "Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian
nation," Obama told Sojourners.
3) "John McCain has not criticized my Muslim faith,"
Obama told ABC.
4) Obama has twice celebrated Muslim Ramadan with big banquets,
but twice refused any White House ceremony for the Judeo-Christian
National Day of Prayer.
5) The Obama Administration defended seizing and burning our
troops Christian Bibles, but made a big deal when a Christian
minister almost desecrated his own Korans.
6) Obama repeatedly defends building a "Victory Mosque"
at Ground Zero, but would never ask the Saudi or Afghan governments
to allow Christians to build churches.
7) Obama praised Islam as "a great religion and its commitment
to justice and progress" in his address to Muslims translated
into many languages for worldwide distribution.
While campaigning, however, Obama needs Christian votes to keep
his majority in Congress, so now he says: "I came to my
Christian faith later in life...my mother didn't raise me in
the church...it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke
to me...Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility
we all have to have as human beings, that we're sinful and we're
flawed and we make mistakes, and that, you know, we achieve salvation
through the grace of God...That's what I pray to do every day.
I think my public service is part of that effort to express my
Christian faith." [But when governing Obama promotes tax-funded
abortions, homosexualizes our military against their will, and
appoints Judges like David Hamilton who ruled it's illegal to
pray "in Jesus' name," but totally OK to pray to Allah
in public.] Does anybody see the duplicity here?
While campaining for Christian votes, Obama claims to follow
Jesus, but when governing he acts like a Muslim follower of Mohammed...
need to expose how Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have enacted Obama's
pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-Jesus legislative agenda.

ITALIAN GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATING VATICAN BANK FOR MONEY LAUNDERING
Last week, the Vatican was shocked when the Italian government
announced it was investigating the head of the Vatican bank for
money laundering. The Vatican may be shocked, but no one who
knows their track record is. A trip down memory lane. Video:

VATICAN BANK SCANDAL AMID ITALIAN MONEY-LAUNDERING PROBE
24th Sep 2010 - When news first
broke on Tuesday that Italian prosecutors were investigating
the Vatican Bank for violations of anti-money-laundering regulations,
the story seemed to be that the bank had returned to its old
ways.
Reports in the press referenced the Vatican's connection to a
1980s financial Scandal in which Italy's second largest bank,
Banco Ambrosiano, went spectacularly bankrupt, collapsing under
$1.3 Billion of Debt amid allegations of involvement by the Mafia
and Masonic lodges.

VATICAN BANK RAIDED IN
MONEY-LAUNDERING INQUIRY
September 21, 2010, The Telegraph (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
Italian authorities froze nearly £20 million belonging
to the Vaticans bank on [September 21] in an unprecedented
investigation into alleged money-laundering by the Holy See.
It was the first time that such action has been taken against
the bank, which is formally known as the IOR or Institute for
Religious Works. Prosecutors placed the banks director-general
and its chairman under investigation in connection with two allegedly
suspicious transactions which may have breached Italys
anti-money laundering laws. Investigators have spent more than
a year scrutinising millions of euros of Vatican bank transactions
to see if they violated regulations. The Vatican banks
chairman, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi ... was placed under investigation.
He is not being investigated for laundering money but for omitting
to disclose key information. The Vatican expressed the
utmost confidence in the banks senior executives,
including Mr Gotti Tedeschi. A member of the conservative religious
movement Opus Dei, he has spoken out on the need for more morality
in financing. Mr Gotti Tedeschi is a close adviser to Italys
finance minister, Giulio Tremonti. The IOR manages the Vaticans
finances as well as the accounts of Catholic organisations and
religious orders.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST LEADER ON YOGA: "NOT CHRISTIANITY"
By DYLAN LOVAN, Associated Press Writer Dylan Lovan, Oct 7, 2010
- LOUISVILLE, Ky. A Southern Baptist leader who is calling
for Christians to avoid yoga and its spiritual attachments is
getting plenty of pushback from enthusiasts who defend the ancient
practice. Southern Baptist Seminary President Albert Mohler says
the stretching and meditative discipline derived from Eastern
religions is not a Christian pathway to God.
Mohler said he objects to "the idea that the body is a vehicle
for reaching consciousness with the divine."
"That's just not Christianity," Mohler told The Associated
Press. Mohler said feedback has come through e-mail and comments
on blogs and other websites since he wrote an essay to address
questions about yoga he has heard for years. "I'm really
surprised by the depth of the commitment to yoga found on the
part of many who identify as Christians," Mohler said.
Yoga fans say their numbers have been growing in the U.S. A 2008
study by the Yoga Journal put the number at 15.8 million, or
nearly 7 percent of adults. About 6.7 percent of American adults
are Southern Baptists, according to a 2007 survey by the Pew
Research Center Forum on Religion & Public Life. Mohler argued
in his online essay last month that Christians who practice yoga
"must either deny the reality of what yoga represents or
fail to see the contradictions between their Christian commitments
and their embrace of yoga." He said his view is "not
an eccentric Christian position." Continued: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101007/ap_on_re/us_rel_southern_baptists_yoga

- EMERGENT CHURCH LEADER FELLOWSHIPS WITH WICCANS
Friday Church News Notes, October 29, 2010, www.wayoflife.org,
Samir Selmanovic, an emerging church leader, is practicing interfaith
spirituality with Wiccans during Halloween. Selmanovics
Faith House in Manhattan provides the following information at
its web site: This Fall we will be exploring how to cross
boundaries into new spaces and meet the other. In
the US, Wiccans have been an example of a minority
religion, often met with misunderstanding and at times with hostility.
We want to learn about and from them and are welcoming them to
Faith House! ... The veil between the worlds is said to be thinnest
at this time and so we take comfort in the closeness of the spirits
of Nature, our Gods and Goddesses, and especially our Ancestors
as we face the changing season and shorter days. The Temple of
the Spiral Path represents the family of covens practicing the
Shadowfolk Tradition of Witchcraft, which was founded in 1995...'
Observe that this is not biblical evangelism. Faith House doesnt
plan to preach the gospel to the Wiccans and call them to repentance
and faith in Christ. Rather, they want to 'learn about and from
them.' This is 'evangelism' emergent style. Faith House talks
positively about the spirits of Nature and gods and goddesses.
This is utter apostasy. As we document in our book What Is the
Emerging Church, there is a very liberal side of the movement,
represented by men like Selmanovic, and there is a more 'conservative
side represented by men like Mark Driscoll. These claim to be
'theologically conservative but culturally liberal.' Selmanovic,
a Seventh-day Adventist, says on his website that he has been
integral to the birth of the emerging church movement, serving
as a member of the Coordinating Group of Emergent Village...'
Selmanovic, his 'Faith House Project' and his 2009 book Its
Really All about God: Reflections of a Muslim Atheist Jewish
Christian have been highly recommended by Tony Campolo and Brian
McLaren. For more on this movement see What Is the Emerging
Church?' which is available from Way of Life Literature in print
and e-book formats, as well as in a DVD series. Some congregations
have shown this series in church-wide Sunday School. Home schoolers
have used it to educate their children. http://www.wayoflife.org

- SUPREMES GET CASE AGAINST 'PUTATIVE' PRESIDENT OBAMA
Petition: 'There exists possibility that he could be an illegal
alien'
Posted: October 02, 2010 - 12:35 am Eastern - By Bob Unruh -
WorldNetDaily - A new court filing that returns the issue of
Barack Obama's eligibility to the U.S. Supreme Court warns that
unless the judiciary makes a definitive decision in the dispute,
it will be the same as allowing the political interests in the
United States to amend the U.S. Constitution at will. A petition
for writ of certiorari has been filed with the high court in
the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision to uphold the
dismissal of a case brought by attorney Mario Apuzzo on behalf
of Charles F. Kerchner Jr., Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James
Lenormand and Donald H. Nelsen Jr. Named as defendants are Barack
Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, the House of
Representatives, former Vice President Dick Cheney and House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The case alleges Congress failed to follow
the Constitution, which "provides that Congress must fully
qualify the candidate 'elected' by the Electoral College Electors."
- See the movie Obama does not want you to see: Own the DVD
that probes this unprecedented residential-eligibility mystery!
The trial court rejected the case based on issues of "standing"
and never addressed the core issues presented. The appellate
court did the same. Continued: http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=210521

- BILL GATES FUNDS COVERT VACCINE NANOTECHNOLOGY
- (NaturalNews) The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is gaining
a reputation for funding technologies designed to roll out mass
sterilization and vaccination programs around the world. One
of the programs recently funded by the foundation is a sterilization
program that would use sharp blasts of ultrasound directed against
a man's scrotum to render him infertile for six months. It might
accurately be called a "temporary castration" technology.
Read more about it here: http://www.naturalnews.com/028853_u...
- Now, the foundation has funded a new "sweat-triggered
vaccine delivery" program based on nanoparticles penetrating
human skin. The technology is describes as a way to "...develop
nanoparticles that penetrate the skin through hair follicles
and burst upon contact with human sweat to release vaccines."
- The research grant money is going to Carlos Alberto Guzman
of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Germany and
Claus-Michael Lehr and Steffi Hansen of the Helmholtz-Institute
for Pharmaceutical Research.
- These are both part of the Gates Foundation's involvement
in the "Grand Challenges Explorations" program which
claims to be working to "achieve major breakthroughs in
global health."
...breakthroughs like mass sterilization and nanoparticle vaccines
that could be covertly administered even without your knowledge,
it turns out. These nanoparticles could be used in a spray mist
that's sprayed on to every person who walks through an airport
security checkpoint, for example. Or it could be unleashed through
the ventilation systems of corporate office buildings or public
schools to vaccinate the masses. You wouldn't even know you were
being vaccinated. Continued: http://www.naturalnews.com/028887_vaccines_Bill_Gates.html

- RULES OF ENGAGEMENT FOR GUARANTEED FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY
- By Andrew C. Wallace - August 21, 2010 - NewsWithViews.com
- REJOICE AND CELEBRATE, FOR THE WORDS IN THIS TITLE ARE ABSOLUTELY
TRUE. Getting back our jobs and prosperity is simple. But, you
must have the courage to use the facts in this document to demand
that your candidates perform specified functions, or the elections
will change nothing. The Truths in this paper are so Absolutely
Powerful, Anti-PC and Anti-Marxist Media, that some may question
them as being outrageous. You are encouraged to do your own research.
Underlined activities should be accomplished first.
- Our Marxist Progressive Officials are Traitors, who have
unconstitutionally seized our government and are killing us by
a Thousand Cuts, with more every day. We can't respond to daily
slashings, so before we bleed to death, we must defeat them with
just a few bold constitutional moves using the Rule of
Law that experience has guaranteed will return us to unlimited
prosperity and freedom under our Constitution.
- If the Traitorous Marxist Officials continue to deny us the
Rule of Law, and try to defeat us with the Barrel
of a Gun as they so often threaten, then many Americans
will soon die; but the Marxists will all be dead, including the
Union thugs, and members of the Elite Families who control the
Marxist puppet traitors in government.
- The Marxist traitors should be advised of these quotes. Those
who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution
inevitable, President John F. Kennedy in 1962. The
use of force without authority, always puts him that uses it
into a state of war as the aggressor, and renders him liable
to be treated accordingly, Timothy Baldwin quote from,
John Locke and C. B. Macpherson, ed., Second Treatise of Government,
(1980), 80-81
- Your only choice is to live and die as a proud and free American,
or to suffer in abject groveling poverty as a slave to the arrogant
Marxist Heathens who despise ordinary working people. Most Blacks
and Whites in the inner cities still support Marxist Progressives,
formerly known as Democrats, even after 100 years of failed promises,
poverty, persecution, contempt and attempts to kill the Blacks.
Inner cities are actual Marxist utopias that will soon suffer
cataclysmic declines in government support because of reduced
contributions from working taxpayers.
- Prosperity is also Impossible for people of any race
without (1) proper families, (2) God, and (3) an honest education,
which the Marxist progressives have done everything possible
to prevent and destroy
- The mayors of New York, Chicago, Washington, DC and
other sanctuary cities are doing everything they can to deny
citizens their constitutional right to protect themselves from
criminals and government tyranny by bearing arms. In these cities,
there is no hope of arming honest citizens to support the police
and protect themselves; so citizens and police in these cities
who can, should practice self preservation and move before the
total collapse of society that is being deliberately caused by
Marxism. Continued: http://www.atgpress.com/

OPERATION SARKOZY:
HOW THE C.I.A. PLANTED ONE OF ITS AGENTS AS PRESIDENT OF THE
FRENCH REPUBLIC
- Nicolas Sarkozy should be judged on his actions and not on
his personality.
- But when his actions surprise even his own electors, it is
legitimate to examine in detail his biography and to ask about
the alliances which brought him to power. Thierry Meyssan decided
to write the truth about the origins of the President of the
French Republic. All the information contained in this article
is verifiable, with the exception of two imputations, pointed
out by the author who assumes sole responsibility for them.
- The French people, weary of the over-long presidencies of
François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac, elected Nicolas
Sarkozy and counted on his energy to revitalise their country.
They hoped for a break with the years of immobilism and superannuated
ideologies. They have had a break with the principles which form
the foundation of the French nation. They have been stupefied
by this "hyper president", every day grabbing hold
of another new file, drawing the right and the left to him, thus
disposing of all the land-marks to the point of creating complete
confusion. Like children who have just done something very stupid,
the French are too busy finding excuses to admit the extent of
the damage and of their naïvety. This makes them refuse
all the more to see who Nicolas Sarkozy is, which they ought
to have realised long ago. Continued: http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=4618
