John 1:5-10 (KJV) This
then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto
you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. {6}
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness,
we lie, and do not the truth: {7} But if we walk in the light,
as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
- {8} If we say that we have
no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. {9}
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. {10} If
we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word
is not in us.
- 1 John 2:1-6 (KJV) My little children, these things
write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have
an advocate with the Father, even Jesus Christ the righteous:
{2} And he is the propitiation{appeasement} for our sins: and
not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
- {3} And hereby we do know
that we know him, if we keep his commandments. {4} He that saith,
I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and
the truth is not in him. {5} But whoso keepeth his word, in him
verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are
in him. {6} He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also
so to walk, even as he walked.
- Rev 3:15-22 (KJV) I know thy works, that thou
art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. {16}
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth. {17} Because thou sayest, I
am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing;
and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor,
and blind, and naked: {18} I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried
in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that
thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do
not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest
see. {19} As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent. {20} 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. {21} To him
that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even
as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
{22} He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches. (kjv)

- : 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 or resistance to evil which is strictly prohibited in Scripture.
It is to shed light on activities by those who would deceive
the elect by devious methods and systematic plans.
- We are Bible students and have left all worldly organizations.
- 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
which doesn't resemble what Jesus taught. The Word of God has
undergone many changes to fit the present mode. 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, so called democratizing what is left. One third of the
world still remains to be taken over. It again proves that we
are moving to closure of the times of the Gentiles prophesied
in the Bible.
- The third section compliments End Time
teachings with what is happening in Israel. We describe and watch
for signs of the coming 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 a newsletter 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 Statement of Faith is at http://www.cephasministry.com/statement_of_faith.html
- ::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
commit your life to Him only by clicking on this link: Salvation
- Luke 12:20,21 "But
God said unto him, "Thou fool,
this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall
those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth
up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
We pray the Lord will bless you with a thirst for truth and a
desire to serve Him exclusively, in Christ Jesus, Cephas Ministry

TODAY'S Scripture Study: THE HOLY
SCRIPTURES
- The Holy Scriptures are the inspired Word
of God, authoritative, inerrant, and God-breathed
- (2Ti 3:15-17 KJV) And that from a child thou hast known the
holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (16) All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished
unto all good works.
- (2Pe 1:20-21 KJV) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of
the scripture is of any private interpretation. (21) For the
prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men
of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
- (Mat 5:17-18 KJV) Think not that I am come to destroy the
law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
{18} For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all
be fulfilled. To go to the complete study: http://www.cephas-library.com/bible_the_holy_scriptures.html

- RICK WARREN GOES TO SYRIA - MEETS WITH GRAND MUFTI
According to SANA,
a Syrian-Arab
news agency, Rick Warren visited this week with political
and religious officials in Syria. The article stated:
- American Protestant Pastor Rick Warren on Monday said there
was no peace in the region without Syria, noting that 80 percent
of the American people rejected what the US Administration is
doing in Iraq and considered the US policy in the Mideast as
wrong. Syria's Grand Mufti Sheikh Badr al-Din Hassoun received
the American Pastor in Damascus in which he referred to the importance
of spreading culture of amity, peace and coexistence instead
of the "clash of civilizations."
The article said that the Grand Mufti asked Warren to convey
to the American people Syria's desire for peace. Warren, according
to the article, told the Grand Mufti he admired Syria.
- Further information:
- American
Personalities Criticize US Foreign Policy
- LTRP Note: The following is from the Syrian news agency,
SANA. A US religious delegation that includes Rick Warren is
currently in Syria.
- Tuesday, November 14, 2006 - 06:55 PM - DAMASCUS, (SANA)-
"Members of a US religious Delegation currently is visiting
Syria have expressed sorrow that US gave Israel the green light
for 33 days to destroy Lebanon and kill women and children. Meeting
on Monday with the Grand Mufti of the Republic Ahmad Bader Hassoun,
Chairman of the Religion and Diplomatic Center in Washington
Douglas Johnston and Secretary General of the center Brayan Douglas,
as well as members of the US delegation said " What makes
man sad is that the US Administration claims, it wants peace
and actually it is not working to realize that."
- "Dr. Hassoun emphasized the unity of divine missions,
assuring on the importance of building man, spreading love and
peace in the world." Read more of this news article....

- A TRUE SHEPHERD OF THE CHURCH WARNING ABOUT CONTEMPLATIVE
PRAYERS
- US Pastor Suffers Major Heart Attack While in Hungary - Pastor
Larry DeBruyn of Franklin Road Baptist has been an outspoken
voice, one of the few, on the dangers of contemplative spirituality.
His articles have hit the nail on the head many times as he has
shared how mysticism is entering the church. Two weeks ago he
left for Lithuania and Hungary to share with pastors there these
doctrines that are heading their way. Even though he had not
been feeling too well before leaving and though the speaking
schedule was somewhat grueling, he knew he needed to share with
these pastors. On November 8th, Pastor DeBruyn suffered a serious
heart attack and is now in a Hungary hospital. We ask that you
would please pray for this courageous brother who has chosen
the less popular road of defending the faith in a time when most
well-known Christian leaders have chosen the broader road of
success and popularity.
- Follow up: In the course of being taken by ambulance to the
hospital, Pastor DeBruyn's heart stopped seven times. Doctors
now say that about 40% of his heart was damaged. But we have
a wonderful God. Sunday morning his wife (who flew there to be
with him) wrote us this:
- LARRY IS IN A PRIVATE ROOM OUT OF INTENSIVE CARE. HE WAS
SITTING IN A CHAIR AND HIS SPIRITS ARE GOOD. IN FACT, KYLE SAID
THAT FIRST HE QUOTED 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9; THEN, HE BEGAN TALKING
ABOUT CHRISTIAN ROCK AND ROLL AND CHRISTIAN CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY.
SO, I THINK HE IS ON THE MEND. THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

BREATH PRAYERS AND RICK WARREN
- Are "breath prayers" a method by which we can become
best friends with God?
To direct people on a spiritual journey for 40 days, Rick Warren
wrote The Purpose Driven Life. The bestselling book has impacted
millions of persons. Some of Pastor Warren's purpose involves
recommendations for "Becoming Best Friends with God."
To become God's friends, the author shares six secrets, one of
which is practicing God's presence by being in "constant
conversation" with him. After quoting 1 Thessalonians 5:17
("pray without ceasing"), Warren asks how a Christian
can practice unceasing prayer to which he answers, "One
way is to use 'breath prayers' throughout the day, as many Christians
have done for centuries. You choose a brief sentence or a simple
phrase that can be repeated in one breath." Then after providing
ten examples of short biblical phrases that could work as breath
prayers, Warren advises "Pray it as often as possible so
it is rooted deep in your heart."[1] In this context Warren
also cites the book of Brother Lawrence (c.1605-1691), The Practice
of the Presence of God, who advocated experiencing God's presence
in the most menial of circumstances by praying short conversational
prayers throughout the day. The Roman Catholic practice of praying
the rosary is akin to breath prayers.
In the course of our waking hours, think of how many times we
breathe--hundreds and hundreds, even thousands per day. So to
pray "breath prayers" means that like breathing, I
am to intermittently say the same short prayer over and over
again during the course of a day.
- Advocates of breath prayers recommend the discipline of repeatedly
breathing out a short biblical phrase of prayer. For example,
in the parable of The Pharisee and the Publican (Luke 18:9-14),
Jesus portrayed a tax collector who in repentance and humility,
cried out, "God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'" Out
of this parable The Desert Fathers, a monastic group in Egypt
circa the 5th century, created the "Kyrie Eleison"
prayer (i.e., "Lord have mercy.") which became known
as the "Jesus Prayer."[2] The prayer became a favorite
of these fathers who later expanded it to be, "Lord Jesus
Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner."[3] This
prayer as well as others, they chanted over and over again.Whole

- WHAT DOES THE WORD "GATHERING" MEAN TODAY?
- The use of the terminology "gathering" has been
growing exponentially the past few years in evangelical circles.
It is word that is included in the names of various organizations,
conferences, prayer events, etc. Believers assume that it simply
means "where two or three are gathered together in my name"
(Matthew 18:20).
- That is one traditional meaning of the term. But it also
has a "transitional" and "transformational"
meaning. A transitional meaning is "new understanding"
put on a traditional biblical concept. A transformational meaning
is often hidden or veiled because it parallels a New Age concept.So
how do we find out what is meant by the term "gathering"?
- Whenever one wants to know the meaning of a new doctrine,
or the meaning of a new interpretation of Scripture, the most
readily accessible source is the Latter Rain "prophets."
This history of this group of men is chronicled in the Joel's
Army booklet published on the Discernment Ministries website.
The heresies of these men have been incorporated into the doctrines
of C. Peter Wagner's New Apostolic Reformation. These Gnostic
Latter Rain "prophets" seem to write more openly on
their mystical doctrines.

- DOES THE CHURCH HAVE A FUTURE?
What did Francis Schaeffer say about this over 35 years ago?
Is it still true today? "Does the church have a future in
our generation? ... I believe the church is in real danger. It
is in for a rough day. We are facing present pressures and a
present and future manipulation which will be so overwhelming
in the days to come that they will make the battles of the last
forty years look like child's play." Francis Schaeffer,
The Church at the End of the 20th Century-- 1970
- "The liberal theologians in their stress on community
speak and act as though we become Christians when we enter the
horizontal relationship of community. But this is totally the
wrong starting-point. If this were so, Christianity would have
no more final value than the humanistic community." Schaeffer
- "Whenever men say they are looking for greater reality,
we must show them at once the reality of true Christianity. This
is real because it is concerned with the God who is there and
who has spoken to us about Himself, not just the use of the symbol
'god' or 'christ' which sounds spiritual but is not. The men
who merely use the symbol ought to be pessimists, for the mere
word god or the idea god is not a sufficient base for the optimism
they display.... "This is the kind of 'believism' which
is demanded by this theology.... It is no more than a jump into
an undefinable, irrational, semantic mysticism." Schaeffer,
from The
God Who is There

- WHEN YOU PRAY SAY... CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER AND THE LORD'S
PRAYER
- Between contemplative spirituality and biblical Christianity
there reside watershed distinctions between first, the definition,
and then, the practice of prayer. Simply stated, prayer is talking
to God. In speaking to God, believers are free to disclose their
hearts' deepest longings and vexations to him, including their
feelings, fears, secrets, sins, praises, petitions, doubts, complaints,
thanksgiving, troubles, and more, the prayers of Jesus and the
saints in the Bible providing example.Whole article: http://www.frbaptist.org/bin/view/Ptp/PtpTopic20060626143019

- THE FALSE GOSPEL IN THE STARS PREPARING THE WAY OF THE ANTICHRIST
- ". . .and the False Prophet and 10 kings downsized to
7 and. . . Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels.
Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators,
stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon
thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them;
they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame:
there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before
it. Is. 47:13-14
- By Barbara Aho
- INTRODUCTION
- Were Christians to understand the anatomy of deception, they
would be more apt to recognize deceivers. The Scriptures tell
us that Satan and his ministers actually "transform themselves"
into angels of light, apostles of Christ and ministers of righteousness...
- For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming
themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan
himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is
no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers
of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
II Cor. 11:13-15
- How does this transformation happen? Occult sources state
that "transformation" is the outcome of a series of
processes called initiation into the Eastern or Western Mysteries,
which Scripture terms "the depths of Satan" (Rev. 2:24).
As the born-again Christian becomes a new creation in Christ
(Acts 7:42-3) and is indwelt by the Holy Spirit (John 14:17),
the person who experiences occult initiation is transformed into
a new creature in Satan and is indwelt by one or more devils.
We are told that the adepts and mastersthe chosen few who
have gone beyond the Lesser Mysteries and enter the Greater Mysteriesascend
to the very Throne of God and are "deified". Deification,
of course, is only an illusion; however, these high level initiates,
having experienced the 'depths of Satan', are indwelt by a personality
that is not their own. And a certain number of these "deified"
men and women have been incarnated by devils who are capable
of impersonating a born-again Christian. Thus possessed by highly
intelligent supernatural entities, we find many 'wolves in sheep's
clothing' on the Christian scene who exhibit a "born-again"
personality.

- U.S. COALITION FOR LIFE ACTION ALERT FROM A CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE
ON HOMOSEXUALITY - [ Ednote: WE PRINTED THIS
TO REVEAL THEIR ISSUES.]..
- To: Faithful Catholics in the United States
From: Randy Engel, Director, U.S. Coalition for Life
Date: Thursday, November 8, 2006 - American Bishops Vote
Down Proposals for Gay Pastoral /Ministry Guidelines
and Funding for New John Jay Report
- If these are the headlines you want to read on the front
page of The Washington Post on November 16, 2006
- ACT NOW! Urge your bishop to vote NO on Ministry
to Persons With a Homosexual Inclination: Guidelines for Pastoral
Care and Vote NO on the new John Jay Study
on Clerical Sexual Abuse.
- The vote will take place at the November 13-16, 2006 fall
meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
to be held at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront, 700 Aliceanna
Street, Baltimore, MD 21202. Letters, phone calls and faxes urging
a NO vote on these two important agenda items are
needed both before your bishop leaves his diocese for Baltimore
and after he arrives at the hotel.
- Section I.
- The Proposed Guidelines on Pastoral Care of Homosexuals
- The USCCB Committee on Doctrine began work on the Guidelines
in the fall of 2002. Drafts of the 23 page document were later
circulated to members of the Committees for Canonical Affairs,
Catechesis, Marriage and Family, and Pastoral Practices.
- This is not the first time the American bishops have addressed
the issue of special ministries and pastoral care for homosexuals.
On September 30, 1997, the Administrative Committee of the NCCB
approved the pro-homosexual statement Always Our Children
that was released by the Committee on Marriage and Family without
a formal vote by the entire hierarchical body. By the time the
bishops arrived that November for their annual meeting in Washington,
D.C., the document was a fait accompli. Only later did the news
leak out that three homosexual clerics had participated in the
drafting of the statement that was championed by the late Joseph
Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago.
- Gay ministries such as the NACDLGM (National
Association of Catholic Diocesan Lesbian and Gay Ministries),
New Ways Ministry, Dignity, and non-medically-based AIDS
ministries have been operational at the national and diocesan
levels of the American Church for several decades now with uniformly
disastrous results
- · Gay ministries transform parishes into
political and propaganda cells for gay activism.
- · Gay ministries discourage the individual
homosexual from breaking with the Homosexual Collective that
frowns upon defectors.
- · Gay ministries recruit - like the Army
especially among vulnerable youth.
- · Gay ministries plunder parish resources
financial and otherwise.
- · Gay ministries undermine authentic Church
teachings on Faith and morals.
- · Gay ministries systematically strip
parishioners of every vestige of natural revulsion that the normal
person experiences when initially confronted by sexual perversion.
- The bishops should be discussing ways to eliminate these
gay ministries not perpetuate them. Full story:

- < TED HAGGARD'S ACCUSER
-
- MAN-CENTERED PSYCHOLOGY EVANGELISM FAILED TED HAGGARD BECAUSE
IT IS GODLESS
- The whole debacle of Ted Haggard's 'moral failure' points
to a glaring issue columnists and pundits have only lightly touched
on, if at all, and is the point that is the very heart of the
Ted's fall: Ted is not saved.
- No one can repeatedly and willfully sin against God in such
a depraved way for three years and be a Christian, never mind
a Pastor and leader of a Christian association of Evangelicals.
It goes against the very nature of being a Christian to willfully
continue to sin. Unless a man is born again he is not a Christian,
he will not enter Heaven, PERIOD. 'Believing?'is not enough;
salvation requires an absolute change of mind, an absolute house
cleaning must take place of all you believe and think and trust
in. I remember the first weeks of my conversion with fondness
as God, along with many other freeing results, corrected the
very definitions of the words I had used so loosely before. Words
like 'success' and 'love' and 'abundant' and 'sin.' So let's
be clear right off: Sin is the violation of God's Law, the Ten
Commandments. If you have ever lied, stolen or lusted you are
a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart, guilty before God and
headed for Hell, which you deserve. So let's move on.
- Why evangelicals are so afraid to call as 'sin' what Ted
has done only indicates a lack of desire for personal introspection;
an absence of the Fear of Yahweh. Ted didn't have a 'moral failure'
as Dr. Dobson labeled this obviously rotten fruit on Ted's dead
tree. No, Ted SINNED. No other definition is warranted. And not
just once or twice, but over and over and over, demonstrating
no fear of God, no remorse and that he did not have God's Spirit
indwelling him. The Christian cannot live willfully continuing
to sin 'in habitual sin' his very life would come to a steady
halt until he faces his evil heart. The Spirit of God will not
let a Christian dodge the truth.
- Ted doesn't need psychological counseling, he needs repentance.
God has given Ted a wonderful gift, seeing himself clearly in
the Law of God. And the Law of God is perfect, converting the
soul. This is Ted Haggard's greatest hour because now he knows
he is in danger of hellfire. Now Ted can be honest with himself
and with God. If Ted Haggard humbles himself and admits honestly
his sin he can be saved by Jesus when he trusts Christ's sacrifice
to be his sin's payment, submitting to God's will for his life.
- No my friends, psychology didn't help Ted because psychology
is godless, does not convict, because it does not define sins,
provides no way for a man to be freed of his lusts. Ted needs
Jesus to be saved from Hell. Ted must surrender to Yahweh utterly
in humble submission for the forgiveness of his sins, the violation
of the law, not to try harder to 'be good.'
- Ted violated the 6th commandment specifically: He had sex
outside of marriage. But, no, just how many commandments did
Ted violate? Ted can answer these questions for himself, and
you, reader, can evaluate yourself as well, with the Law of God:
- 1. Do you put God FIRST in your life always? Have you ever
failed to do so?
- 2. Did you make a god you could be comfortable in your sins
with? This is idolatry.
- 3. Did you ever us God's name without honor; Use God's name
as a four-letter filth word to express disgust; Dishonor Gods
name like Ted did, as he preached acting like he knew God all
the while harboring sins that demonstrate he could not be His?
This is blasphemy.
- 4. Did you end from your own WORKS, resting in the finished
work of Jesus DAILY, running to Jesus to be free of evil? If
not, this is not honoring God's Sabbath Rest for you.
- 5. Did you ever dishonor your claimed Father in Heaven by
living a lie and causing all the world to hiss at Jesus? This
is dishonoring your parents. Certainly such actions would dishonor
any parent.
- 6. Did Ted murder those who raised him, with his anger, blaming
them for not raising him right, instead of knowing Ted Haggard
was the only one to hold accountable for his sins? Did you ever
get angry without cause? This is murder.
- 7. Did you commit adultery; commit fornication or homosexuality?
Did you commit adultery against God for being unfaithful to Him?
- 8. Did you ever steal? Did Ted steal the time of all who
listened to his sermons, wasting their time with LIES - for whatever
you speak of as being true, that you do not believe yourself,
is called a lie.
- 9. Did Ted lie to everyone who knew him; lie to Yahweh when
he claimed to trust in Him; lie to his wife when he said he would
be faithful to her? All Liars will have their place in the lake
of fire.
- 10. And did you desire what was not yours to have? This is
covetousness, or being greedy.
- If any of us violate the Law of God our sentence is Hell,
our just reward from a Righteous and Holy Judge. But God doesn't
want Ted or you to go to Hell. God has made the way if you want
to be forgiven. But Jesus is your only hope: Only Jesus Saves.
- Make Psalm 51 your prayer and surrender to Jesus as Lord,
believing He alone can save you, confessing all your Law violations
to Him, all your sins you have committed. Then read your Bible
daily and obey what you read.
- But STOP LOOKING TO Psychology to help you; it will only
lead you straight to Hell, if the end result is not repentance
and faith in Jesus. Patrick J Burwell - OnlyJesusSaves.com -

- MAYBE THIS IS WHY?
- Ted Haggard once claimed that to evangelize the Muslims "the
primary goal is not to win new Christian converts but to "serve
the Islamic people." The Rev. Ted Haggard, pastor of the
8,700-member New Life Church along with Fred Markert, executive
director of Youth With a Mission, (WYAM) planned on reaching
Muslims without the gospel, but by showing their good works.
Haggard said "the primary goal is not to win Muslims to
Christ, but to "serve the Islamic people. We believe
it is the role of Christians to befriend people in the Islamic
community to ensure their peace and safety." (An odd
phrase that certainly pertains to end times!!)
- (1 Thess. 5: 3) For when they shall say, Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman
with child; and they shall not escape.
Haggard said he wants people to "become aware of the Islamic
community and locate their needs. That includes leaving them
alone, if that's what they want. Markert, (YWAM), said the goal
is to give people a choice of religions, not force
Christianity on them. He said missionaries would provide
blankets, food and other short-term relief as well as help with

(Quotes from The Gazette -Pastors issue call for missionaries
to Islam) What Ted Haggart and YWAM are involved in is called,
Redemptive theology (akin to Dominionism). These
folks are not sharing THE (single)GOSPEL, but are
concerned with saving the planet and reforming society. YWAM
goes into countries to help and gets Muslims to accept
Jesus but leaves them still immersed in Islam. They also are
working with Hindu "holy men" in India. This has been
covered in an earlier Open Seal and in Charisma magazine. Open

- YOUTH SPECIALTIES TAKES OVER POPULAR YOUTH CONFERENCE
- Youth Specialties announced that they are now sponsoring
the popular triennial youth conference originally produced by
campus ministry, Youth for Christ. By Rhoda Tse rhoda@christianpost.com
- Wed, Jul. 20 2005 Youth Specialties announced that they are
now sponsoring the popular triennial youth conference originally
held by Youth for Christ, though YFC will continue to play an
active role in the conference production next summer. After years
of success with the triennial DCLA youth conferences, Youth for
Christ is thrilled that the 2006 event will be presented by Youth
Specialties. There isnt anyone out there that could
do this more successfully than Youth Specialties, said
YFC/USA President Dan Wolgemuth. Were delighted to
be part of the event by bringing our most creative and impactful
resources to the table, Wolgemuth said. The "DCLA"
conference, which teaches youth to share their faith, has previously
attracted 10 to 12 thousand youths each time. It will be held
in Washington, D.C. July 1-4 and "LA" for the city
of Anaheim, CA on the outskirts of Los Angeles, August 8-11.
According to past conference speaker and rap minister Fred Lynch,
the conference is the "best" in its field. He will
speak at the upcoming conference.
- Others to speak include Effrem Smith, Mark Matlock, and Laurie
Polich - all have spoken at past conferences. Doug Fields, youth
pastor at Saddleback Church and Louie Giglio of Passion Conferences
have signed on as well.
- The David Crowder Band, along with TobyMac and Jeremy Camp,
are the first to commit to leading worship at DCLA 2006. DCLA
is known for training teenagers to evangelize. The 3Story Training
is the curriculum. It entails sharing my story, you sharing your
story to sharing God's story. One boy wrote to past conference
speaker, Steve Fitzhugh, a former NFL player, thanking him for
his "concern and action towards the youth today."
- "I love the comedy and realness. Just wanted to thank
you for your concern and action towards the youth today. I think
your speech left big impressions on people today," said
Adam from Virginia.

- BE STILL
Some thoughts on Psalm 46:10 as it relates to comtemplative prayer.
"Be still, and know that I am God . . ." (Ps. 46:10).
Those promoting contemplative or "listening" prayer
point to this Scripture for endorsement. As a spiritual discipline,
contemplatives advocate quiet meditation as a means to experience
soul to soul communication with God. Influential Christian leaders
now encourage listening prayer as a way to obtain "God's
guidance in everyday life." At face value, Psalm 46 verse
10 appears to endorse this mystical way to pray.
In a recent issue of a major Christian magazine a full page advertisement
promoted the DVD titled "Be Still". The DVD case bears
the inscription of Psalm 46:10. A blurb on the cover also reads,
"In Today's Fast-Paced, Hectic Life, Be Still Is an Important
Tool that Keeps You in Touch with Yourself, Your Family and God."

- VATICAN ENTERS MUSLIM VEIL DEBATE
BBC, UK - Nov. 14, 2006 - David Willey - news.bbc.co.uk - A senior
Vatican cardinal has expressed concern over the use of some Muslim
veils by Islamic immigrants in Europe. This is the first time
that the Vatican has joined in the Europe-wide debate on how
women who insist on wearing the veil affect the integration of
Muslims.
- Cardinal Renato Martino said immigrants must respect the
traditions, culture and religion of the nations they go to.
- They ought to abide by local laws banning the wearing of
certain types of Muslim veils, he added.
- It seems elementary to me and it is quite right that
the authorities demand it, said Cardinal Martino, who heads
the Vatican department dealing with migration issues. He was
speaking at a news conference launching a papal statement calling
for laws which encourage the better integration of migrants.
- Suspect in terror hunt used Islamic veil to evade arrestHere
in Italy, a law was passed during the attacks of the Red Brigades
urban guerrillas three decades ago which still makes it an offence
to cover your face in public if your identity is challenged by
a policeman. At that time there were very few Muslim women immigrants
in Italy.
- Common values
- Another Vatican expert on immigration, Archbishop Agostino
Marchetto, said it was important in the course of dialogue with
Muslims to make them understand that the consequences of some
of their religious traditions might not be positive in the societies
in which they now find themselves. The Italian government is
trying to draw up what it calls a Charter of Common Values to
get local Muslim leaders to help integrate Italys fast-growing
population. But it is hard going. At one recent meeting, a radical
Muslim delegate proposed separate charters for men and for women,
and favoured the death penalty. Equal rights for men and women
are guaranteed, and the death penalty is banned, under the Italian
constitution.

- Dear All,
- A pornographic movie is being shot and is intended to show
up in America soon, which shows Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals.
This is similar to a play that has been in the Theatre halls
for a while. It's called Corpus Christi" which means "The
Body of Christ".
- It is a revolting joke of our Lord. But we can make a difference,
that's why I'm sending this e-mail to all of you. Could you,
please, add your name to this e-mail's list's end?
- If you do so, together we may be able to ban this movie from
being shown in America. Apparently, some regions from Europe
have banned the movie already.
- All we need is a lot of signatures! Remember, Jesus said:
"That he who denies Me before men, I will also deny Him
before my Father which is in heaven." Please forward and
invite Christians to join the list and forward. Do not simply
forward.with message to add your name at the end of the list
and send to all your contacts.

- SHAKING THE FOUNDATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY?
- THE DA VINCI CODE by Tony Pearce - November 2005 Chapter
1. - Claims of the Da Vinci Code.
- The Da Vinci Code is an action packed thriller novel by Dan
Brown which has become a best seller and is to be made into a
film. It is also a powerful attack on the foundations of Christianity.
Of the books nearly 600 pages only a few have spiritual
significance. I will ignore the story which is a compelling and
exciting one (although very far fetched) involving murder in
the Louvre, a police chase from Paris to London, secret societies,
cracking codes and narrow escapes from death for the hero, Robert
Langdon, a Harvard professor, and heroine, Sophie Neveu, a French
code breaker. In the course of their adventures they encounter
Sir Leigh Teabing, an eccentric English aristocrat living in
France who supplies much of the information which attacks basic
Christian beliefs.
- The behind the scenes antagonists in the book
are the Priory of Sion, where it is claimed the secret of the
Sangreal (Holy Grail) has been hidden, and Opus Dei,
a Catholic sect prepared to kill in order to discover and destroy
this secret. In the introduction Brown claims that what he says
about both groups is factual and that all descriptions of artwork,
architecture, documents and secret rituals in the novel are accurate.
- According to the book, the Priory of Sion was founded in
1099 by the French king Godefroi de Bouillon. He was possessor
of a powerful secret that had been in his family since the time
of Christ and founded the Priory to preserve this secret, which
was contained in documents hidden beneath the ruins of the Temple
in Jerusalem. These documents had been retrieved by the Knights
Templars during the Crusader time.....
- WHAT HAS TO BE DONE?
- In view of all this we urge you not to be taken in by fables,
ancient or modern, but to trust in the living God revealed in
Jesus the Messiah through the pages of the Bible and by the Holy
Spirit. If you have not yet done so, ask God to come into your
life through faith in Him:
- Dear Heavenly Father, I admit that I am a sinner and
need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus the Messiah died
in my place, shedding His blood to pay for my sins, and that
He rose again from the dead to give me eternal life. I am willing
right now to turn from my sin and accept Jesus the Messiah as
my personal Saviour and Lord. I commit my life to you and ask
you to send the Holy Spirit into my life, to fill me and to take
control and to help me become the kind of person you want me
to be. Thank you Father for loving me. In Jesus name, Amen.

JEDI KNIGHTS THEY ARE
- Sky News, UK - Nov. 16, 2006 - news.sky.com Two self-styled
Jedi Knights are stepping up an intergalactic campaign for formal
recognition. Umada and Yunyun, also known as John Wilkinson and
Charlotte Law, want the United Nations to feel The Force
is worthy of being called a religion. The couple claim
to be part of the UKs fourth largest religious group, after

the UN to re-name the day as Interstellar Day of Tolerance. More
people claim their religion to be Jedi in England and Wales than
those who follow Sikhism, Judaism and Buddhism. And the cause

pleased to present a brand new docu-clip, featuring Christian
writer/musician, Lynn A. Marzulli, author of the "Nephilim"
book series. Lynn's books, while works of fiction, are designed
to reveal to an audience the real powers behind UFOs and aliens.
In this clip, he discusses the messages given by aliens to those
who communicate with them. The antichrist nature of these messages
is unmistakable and unmasks their true origin.
- We also recommend the Dr. I.D.E. Thomas docu-clip selections.
For those who don't already know, you will learn that UFOs are
not operated by little green men from far away, but by principalities
that are waging an ancient war on God and man. Click on the link
below to access our Docu-Clip page: http://www.filmforjesus.com/DocuClips.html
- DOCUMENTARY We would also like to highlight the gripping
documentary "Lest We Forget".
- Only some 60 years ago, six million Jews -- men, women, and
children, were brutally murdered by the Nazis, just because they
were born Jewish. So soon after, the world seems to have forgotten
what happened. Today the evil force of anti-Semitism is once
again growing rapidly, spreading its deadly fire in a new wave
of international terrorism against Jewish lives and properties.
This film documents a concerted campaign to de-humanize the Jewish
people and de-legitimize the nation of Israel.
- As viewers will see in this exclusive footage, today's Arab-sponsored
state-run propaganda is alarmingly similar to that of Nazi Germany
during World War II, and presents a clear and present danger
to Jewish people around the world today. For more information,

- PETA MISTAKENLY TARGETS CHURCH'S NATIVITY SCENE
- Confused pastor tells animal rights group that no real animals
were used - November 25, 2006 - The pastor at Anchorage First
Free Methodist Church was mystified. Why was the activist group
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals chastising him? No
animals are harmed in the church's holiday nativity display.
In fact, animals aren't used at all. People, however, do dress
the parts Mary, Joseph, the wise men, etc. The volunteers
stand shivering at a manger on the church lawn in a silent tribute
to Christmas. The Rev. Jason Armstrong was confused by an e-mail
this week from PETA, which admonished him for subjecting animals
"to cruel treatment and danger," by forcing them into
roles in the church's annual manger scene."We've never had
live animals, so I just figured this was some spam thing,"
Armstrong said. "It's rough enough on us people standing
out there in the cold. So we're definitely not using animals."
- Jackie Vergerio, PETA's captive animals in entertainment
specialist, said her organization tracks churches nationwide
that use real animals in "living nativity scenes."

- LOCAL COMPANY PITCHES ID CHIPS INSTEAD IN LICENSE PLATES
- FIRM PLANS PLATE READERS - By JEFF NAGEL - Black Press -
Nov 14 2006 - Spending millions of dollars on a police licence
plate reading system is short-sighted when the money could finance
a much more comprehensive and useful system, says the president
of one Vancouver firm. "They're going about it in a fairly
one-dimensional way," said Michael Wolf of EVI Management
Group. He was responding to Solicitor General John Les' announcement
Thursday the government will spend an undetermined amount on
a camera-based automated licence plate recognition system for
police vehicles. Wolf is lobbying B.C. to install radio frequency
ID chips in B.C. licence plates which would be read by a
network of scanners across the Lower Mainland. He said the British-designed
"e-plate" system could identify suspect cars in real
time and track them wherever they go around the region. "The
police system John Les has doesn't give you a geo-coordinate
of the vehicles," he said. "Six hundred plates per
hour are being read, but where are they all? Where do they go?"
- With chip implants embedded in licence plates, he said, police
cars equipped with readers could detect suspect cars up to 100
metres away -parked in back alleys, inside garages or covered
under tarps. Criminals also couldn't avoid detection by obscuring
the plate number. "We don't have a line of sight issue,"
he said. E-plates are also touted as a system that could be used
to apply regional tolling or road pricing - something the region's
politicians increasingly say is needed for congestion control.
Wolf also sees it as a way to bring in distance-based insurance,
where motorists pay less if they drive less over a year - another
measure some advocates see reducing car use. A network of plate
scanners could also generate real-time traffic reports. Wolf
sees offering consumers some services -some free and some for
an extra fee - like a customized traffic report tailored to their
route, telling them instantly how long it will take to work and
if their favourite alternate routes are better bets to take.

Asked whether he'll be a candidate, the former governor and U.S.

- DES MOINE'S REGISTER.COM by TONY LEYS - November 16, 2006
Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson said in Des Moines Wednesday
that he hopes to run for president. Thompson, a Republican, was
secretary of health and human services during President Bush's
first term. Before that, he was Wisconsin's governor from 1987
until 2001. Thompson was in Des Moines on Wednesday to give a
speech about health care. In an interview afterward, he was asked
whether he intended to run for president. "I hope so,"
he said. "Why not? I'm from the Midwest. There should be
a Midwestern candidate for president."
- .. Thompson predicted the two top issues in the 2008 race
would be health care and energy. "I don't think anybody's
got a better handle on health care than me," he said, noting
that he oversaw Medicare and other federal health care programs.
He added that he's learned a lot about energy policy as a partner
in a business that plans to build an ethanol plant. He added
his name to a list of about a dozen Republicans who have shown
interest in running for president. The race will be the first
in decades in which no incumbent president or vice president

- SPYCHIPS REID BLOG
Kmart and the System - December 15, 2005 - AP - Tommy Thompson
still plans to get chipped
Tommy Thompson still plans to "get chipped" with a
VeriChip/VeriMed implantable RFID device, according to a new
AP story. The former Secretary of Health and Human Services and
four-time governor of Wisconsin made a commitment to undergoing
the procedure back in July of 2005, but has never followed through.
- When we contacted VeriChip Corporation spokesman John Procter
about the delay, he said Thompson was "too busy." He
added that Thompson "wants to see it [the VeriChip] in
a real-world environment first," and that he was trying
to arrange a tour for Thompson at Hackensack University Medical
Center, the first hospital to implement the technology in its
emergency room. You can read the whole story in our recent press
release. We were hoping that Mr. Thompson was having a change
of heart about the procedure, but he told AP that he will be
eager to get chipped when the time is right. "In fact,"
he said, "I'll be in the front of the line."
- THE LINE?
- Apparently, Mr. Thompson envisions a mass chipping at
some point--something VeriChip has been planning.
- When I asked Mr. Procter why the human version of the VeriChip
implant contains a 16-digit number instead of a nine-digit number
like the nearly identical pet chipping version, he told me the
longer number would provide "flexibility." He said
the extended numbering scheme would ensure more unique numbers
would be available for the large number of people they were planning
to implant at some point in the future. I'm hoping VeriChip's
"planning" is just wishful thinking. But considering
the words of Senator Joseph Biden to Judge John Roberts during
his Supreme Court Confirmation hearings on September 12, 2005,
mass chipping plans could really be in the works. He said:
- Can a microscopic tag be implanted in a person's body to
track his every movement? There's actual discussion about that.
You will rule on that -- mark my words -- before your tenure
is over. Posted by Liz McIntyre More detail:

- VERICHIP FOR ALL? TOMMY THOMPSON HAS GONE INSANE?
- By URI DOWBENKO
- Since he became a director of Applied Digital Solutions,
a company that manufactures the VeriChip, Tommy Thompson, Bush's
former HHS secretary, wants to tag all US citizens like cattle.
Thompson, who has clearly lost his mind, wants US citizens to
have a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip implanted under
their skin under the guise of "health care." An Orwellian
nightmare, which even Orwell could not predict, the RFID microchips
would be accessed by a database in the US Department of Health
to store and manage all citizens' health records.
- How much do you REALLY want that "Universal
Healthcare"?
- As a further promotional gimmick, Thompson claims he will
have the RFID Verichip implanted to promote his new employer.
Like his dog or cat, when Thompson gets lost, his relatives will
be able to find him at the pound in no tme.
- Thompson said that people will overcome their fear of having
a chip implant in the future whem youngsters will need them to
enter school and the military. http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/channel.cfm?channelid=104&contentid=2579

OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents, DecEMBER 3/6, 2004
- I have known Tommy Thompson for many years--first when we served
as Governors and then as my Secretary of Health and Human Services.
He is a friend and a true public servant who worked every day
to make Americans healthier and to help more Americans in need
achieve the dream of independence and personal responsibility...
- He worked to modernize and add prescription drug coverage
to Medicare for the first time in the program's history. He focused
on expanding services to seniors, people with disabilities, and
low-income Americans. He led the effort to broaden the network
of community health centers across our country and to advance
the development and use of health information technology. Throughout
his career as Governor and as Secretary of Health and Human Services,
Tommy has led efforts to reform welfare laws and help more people
transition from welfare to work.
- Tommy has been a stalwart member of my homeland security
team, especially through his contributions to our Nation's
response to the threat of bioterrorism. And he has done
a superb job in our compassionate mission of helping those here
and abroad fight the scourge of the HIV/AIDS virus.

RFID INITIATIVES REWRITING SUPPLY CHAIN EQUATION
-
- Industrial Engineer By Mohsen Attaran 11/18/06 - The
decision about whether to go with RFID is one that many companies
may have to make eventually. RFID tagging requires a significant
investment of time and resources, and is a technology full of
promises and potential pitfalls. It would be a mistake to implement
RFID without fully exploring the initiative specific to a company's
environment. Making the Case for Enterprise Mobility: Wireless
Management and Spend Control. Find out how AT&T was able
to reduce spiraling enterprise mobility costs and boost the efficient
use of assets. Mandates from powerhouses such as Wal-Mart, Metro
Group, Target, and the U.S. Department of Defense have led RFID
to take an increasingly high profile. While there are signs that
the RFID initiative is beginning to pay off for companies such
as Wal-Mart, recent studies suggest that manufacturers in a number
of industries are still struggling to justify investing in broad
production rollouts of RFID. Many manufacturers are still evaluating
the technology while they engage in small pilot projects. It
looks as if RFID is going to progress gradually in many industries.
Despite RFID's high-profile backing and indisputable benefits,
there are still many obstacles, misconceptions and issues related
to it yet to be resolved.
- Various Applications: The greatest promise of RFID lies in
its application versatility. Smart tags can be affixed to individual
products or to pallets containing multiple units, and they can
be read through most materials. RFID readers can scan multiple
items at one time, making them functionally superior to traditional
bar code scanners. Data generated by RFID technology can improve
supply chain efficiencies across industries such as retail, manufacturing,
distribution, healthcare and government. Full story: http://www.cephas-library.com/nwo_emerging_signs_of_an_RFID_payoff.html

- SURVEILLANCE IS REALLY GETTING UNDER MY SKIN
- This unique human chip implant was supposed to protect me
- but it just makes me more vulnerable
- Henry Porter - November 19, 2006 - The Observer - The most
shocking part of Britain's frantic rush towards a fully fledged
surveillance society is not so much the threat to personal liberty,
although that is important; it is the lack of security in the
systems that are confidently held up to be the solution to the
problems of 21st-century crime and terrorism.
While each of us is required to give more and more information
about ourselves to the government's various centralised databases,
and submit to increasing surveillance in our daily lives, almost
no one seems to consider the risk to us if these systems are
breached.
- For some time now, I have been warning about the menace that
these systems may come to represent in the hands of future governments,
the nature of which we cannot know. But having spent the last
few months making a film, Suspect Nation, with the director Neil
Ferguson - about the growth of surveillance since 9/11 - I realise
that the threat exists in the present. Both of us were astonished
at the gaps in security that we found and the insouciance of
government.
It is difficult to know whether this comes from ignorance or
a failure of imagination, but as the barriers are swept away

- MANY U.S. LEGAL RIGHT ABSENT IN DETAINEE BILL
- Rules are far different than in American criminal justice
system. WASHINGTONPOST.COM - by R. Jeffrey Smith - September
28, 2006 - The military trials bill approved by Congress lends
legislative support for the first time to broad rules for the
detention, interrogation, prosecution and trials of terrorism
suspects far different from those in the familiar American criminal
justice system.
- President Bush's argument that the government requires extraordinary
power to respond to the unusual threat of terrorism helped him
win final support for a system of military trials with highly
truncated defendant's rights. The United States used similar
trials on just four occasions: during the country's revolution,
the Mexican-American War, the Civil War and World War II.
- Included in the bill, passed by Republican majorities in
the Senate yesterday and the House on Wednesday, are unique rules
that bar terrorism suspects from challenging their detention
or treatment through traditional habeas corpus petitions. They
allow prosecutors, under certain conditions, to use evidence
collected through hearsay or coercion to seek criminal convictions.
- The bill rejects the right to a speedy trial and limits the
traditional right to self-representation by requiring that defendants
accept military defense attorneys. Panels of military officers
need not reach unanimous agreement to win convictions, except
in death penalty cases, and appeals must go through a second
military panel before reaching a federal civilian court.Whole

- SENATE PASSES BILL ON TERROR DETAINEE TRIALS
- EXCLUSIVELY ON MSNBC.COM - September 29, 2006 Senate passes
bill on terror detainee trials - Bush backs legislation, had
gone to Congress to lobby for it. Sept. 28: In a rare visit to
Capitol Hill Thursday morning, President Bush personally lobbied
Republican senators to pass the terrorism detainee bill. By the
afternoon, he got what he asked for. NBC's Chip Reid reports
just before the Senate passed the bill.
- AP - WASHINGTON - The Senate on Thursday endorsed President
Bushs plans to prosecute and interrogate terror suspects,
all but sealing congressional approval for legislation that Republicans
intend to use on the campaign trail to assert their toughness
on terrorism.
- The 65-34 vote means the bill could reach the presidents
desk by weeks end. The House passed nearly identical legislation
on Wednesday and was expected to approve the Senate bill on Friday,
sending it on to the White House.
- The bill would create military commissions to prosecute terrorism
suspects. It also would prohibit blatant abuses of detainees
but grant the president flexibility to decide what interrogation
techniques are legally permissible.
- The White House and its supporters have called the measure
crucial in the anti-terror fight, but some Democrats said it
left the door open to abuse, violating the U.S. Constitution
in the name of protecting Americans. Full story:

- BRITISH SCIENTISTS TO CREATE EMBRYOS BY FUSING HUMAN DNA
WITH COW EGGS. MAKING MOO-MAN INSTEAD OF HUMAN??
- Welcome to the Island of Dr. Moreau! Researchers at Newcastle
University and Kings College, London, are waiting in line for
their 3 year license so they can create a new breed through stem
cell research, They want to mingle cow embryos with human DNA!
Even though these mad scientists say they will not develop these
embryos for more than a few days of life, it certainly
opens the door a very unethical and potentially dangerous blending
of species. The making of Chimeras, or miscegenation has been
soundly condemned by the Lord because each species is to reproduce
after their own kind. (Gen.1 : 21,25, 6: 20, 7: 14)
Chimeras would be a mixing of two distinct species into one.
Scientific liberals says it would be immoral to prevent
it just because of a 'yuck' factor." Stating that stem
cell research is one of the most promising areas of medical science.
Stem cells are the body's master cells and five-day-old embryos
are packed with them - each with the potential to turn into any
tissue in the body. It is this ability which scientists want
to harness to treat diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, strokes
and Alzheimer's Disease. To do that, scientists say that they
need to have access to thousands of (human) embryos for research.
The problem is, it is not easy to get a ready supply of human
embryos, which in essence kills the potential baby. That is why
scientists want to use cows eggs as a substitute. They
would insert human DNA into a cow's egg which has had its genetic
material removed, and then create an embryo by the same technique
that produced Dolly the Sheep. The resulting embryo would be
99.9% human; the only bovine element would be the DNA outside
the nucleus of the cell.
- Still this would not be 100% human and you are messing with
Gods creation! Technically this moo-man would
still be classified as a chimera. A Bio-ethicist from Scotland
remarked that, The research undermined the distinction
between animals and humans. In the history of humankind, animals
and human species have been separated. In this kind of procedure,
you are mixing at a very intimate level animal eggs and human
chromosomes, and you may begin to undermine the whole distinction
between humans and animals. If that happens, it might also undermine
human dignity and human rights." Open Seal Newsletter -

- PELOSI SPLITS DEMS WITH PUSH FOR MURTHA
MSNBC.COM - Speaker-to-be accused of strong-arm tacticsBy Jonathan
Weisman and Lois Romano
- Nov 16, 2006 - A showdown over the House majority leader's
post today has Democrats bitterly divided only a week after their
party took control of Congress and has prompted numerous complaints
that Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and her allies are
using strong-arm tactics and threats to try to elect Rep. John
P. Murtha (Pa.) to the job. Murtha, 74, a former Marine who was
among the first on Capitol Hill to call for a U.S. troop withdrawal
from Iraq, may have hurt his own chances Tuesday night when he
derided the Democrats' ethics and lobbying package before saying
he will push for its passage anyway out of deference to Pelosi.
His statement, at a gathering of conservative "Blue Dog"
Democrats, was cited by backers of his rival, Rep. Steny H. Hoyer
(Md.), as further proof that Murtha's controversial ethics record
disqualifies him to lead the party in a new political era.
Pelosi's aggressive intervention on behalf of Murtha has baffled
and angered many Democrats, who think she has unnecessarily put
her reputation on the line out of misplaced loyalty to a friend
and because of a long-standing feud with Hoyer, the minority
whip. Pelosi has pushed Murtha's candidacy at social events,
in private meetings and with incoming freshman Democrats; they
have been called to her office to discuss committee assignments,
only to hear first that she needs Murtha in order to be an effective
leader.Whole story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15721403/

- AMATEUR VIDEOS PUT OFFICIAL ABUSE IN NEW LIGHT
Cellphone and digital camera clips used to hold the powerful
to account
WASHINGTONPOST.COM - By Mary Jordan - Nov 15, 2006 - KUALA LUMPUR,
Malaysia - "Do your squat! Do your squat!" the policewoman
barked. "Arms up!" The 22-year-old babysitter, Hemy
Hamisa Abu Hassan Saari, had already been forced to strip naked.
Now she was being ordered to squat up and down, over and over,
keeping her elbows away from her body and holding her earlobes.
"I cried. I was scared. I was ashamed," Hemy said in
an interview, recalling what had happened on the night of June
29, 2005. She had just been arrested for drug possession. She
had no drugs, her attorney said, but police found some on a friend
of her fiance. Police arrested the whole group anyway. "Do
I really have to do this?" Hemy, who had never been arrested
before, pleaded with the female officer standing in front of
her in a tiny police station locker room.
- She said her head was pounding from the humiliation and she
feared what might come next. But what was happening at that moment
changed her life: A male officer was secretly holding his cellphone
and its tiny camera between the bars on the window, making a
video clip that would ultimately expose more than Hemy's nakedness.
- The clip began circulating phone to phone, e-mail to e-mail.
Eventually it was posted on YouTube and other Internet sites,
to be viewed by millions. What started as cheap voyeurism escalated
into an unstoppable cyberspace phenomenon, which forced the prime
minister to establish an official inquiry that led to changes
in police practice. The episode also underscored the growing
power of amateur video, shot on cellphones and ever-tinier digital
cameras, to hold the powerful to account. The digital revolution
is helping to throw light into some of the world's darkest corners.

- DEMOCRAT SWEEP GOOD NEWS FOR NET NEUTRALITY
- WebProNews - November 9, 2006 - Whether the Network Neutrality
debate is officially settled amongst charged, polarized stakeholders
is an issue that will be tabled for the moment. Until this week,
the issue was bottled up in a Republican-controlled Congress,
as Democrats met defeat in both committee and the House floor.
But a sweeping left-wing victory may change that. Detractors
have relegated Net Neutrality to a partisan issue, which, if
looking at the voting record in Congress, certainly seems that
way. The few Republicans that were on the fence were often pressured
by party leaders to fall in line. MoveOn.org's Adam Green related
that Representative Joe Barton (R-TX), the now lame duck Chair
of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, pressured Republican
no-votes on Net Neutrality while in committee with not-so-subtle
"the chairman strongly recommends a no vote" on this
issue. Green said GOP members, almost entirely, followed those
recommendations, effectively killing Net Neutrality protection.
"He's not the chairman anymore," said Green. "This
will send a signal that they should do the right thing. A lot
of no-votes will become yes-votes." Though Net Neutrality
has been painted partisan in the past, outside the Capitol building
it has been anything but that. SaveTheInternet.com, a grassroots
organization that sprang up last Spring to pull the issue to
public attention, has attracted 1.2 million petitioners, joining
together the most venomous of political enemies. The most surprising
teammates, MoveOn.org and the Christian Coalition took out a
full-page advertisement in the New York Times to voice their
combined support. Full story:

- GOODBYE AMERICA, GOODBYE BRITAIN
A book by Alan & Pat Franklin
It features:224 pages.
America and Britain have already given up a huge measure of national
sovereignty and there is a stealthy plan to merge America into
an American Union, similar to the European Union, which has swallowed
up 25 formerly sovereign countries of Europe. This book reveals
how close the end is for the nationstate. Instead, there
will be a oneworld government, made up of huge federations
being created around the globe, from the Americas to Europe,
Africa to the Middle East. Matching it will be a satanic oneworld
spiritual movement, already far advanced.
- The looming financial and moral meltdown is detailed, and
journalists Alan and Pat Franklin show that a spiritual vacuum
is at the heart of our troubles. There is a lot of biblical wisdom
inside this book to guide the discerning through the dark days
ahead. You need this information NOW! Go to http://www.swrc.com/offers/index.htm#h002

- THE NAFTA SUPER HIGHWAY
- August 29, 2006 by Patrick J. Buchanan - This is a "mind-boggling
concept," exploded Lou Dobbs. It must cause Americans to
think our political and academic elites have "gone utterly
mad." What had detonated the mild-mannered CNN anchor? Dr.
Robert Pastor, vice chair of the Council on Foreign Relations
Task Force on North America, had just appeared before a panel
of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations -- to call for erasing
all U.S. borders and a merger of the United States, Mexico and
Canada in a North American union stretching from Prudhoe Bay
to Guatemala. Under the Pastor-CFR plan, the illegal alien invasion
would be solved by eliminating America's borders and legalizing
the invasion. We would no longer defend the Rio Grande. "What
we need to do," Pastor instructed, "is forge a new
North American Community. ... Instead of stopping North Americans
on the borders, we ought to provide them with a secure, biometric
Border Pass that would ease transit across the border like an
E-Z pass permits our cars to speed through tolls."
- The Pastor-CFR project, for "economic integration"
of Mexamerica, is on the drawing board. North-south highways
and railways would be built to weld us together as the American
Union was welded together by the Northern Pacific, Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific, and Ike's Interstate Highway System. Speaking
in Madrid in 2002, Mexican President Vicente Fox declared: "Our
long-range objective is to establish with the United States ...
an ensemble of connections and institutions similar to those
created by the European Union, with the goal of attending to
future themes as important as ... the freedom of movement of
capital, goods, services and persons. The new framework we wish
to construct is inspired in the example of the European Union."
Critical element of the Fox post-NAFTA agenda: absolute freedom
of movement for persons between Mexico and the United States
-- a merger of the nations. Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Debrez
put it succinctly in April 2005. What Mexico is about is "complete
integration" of the two nations.
- To appreciate what Fox, Debrez, Pastor and the CFR wish America
to merge with, consider a few excerpts from the State Department
information sheet on Mexico. While hundreds of thousands of illegal
aliens marched beneath Mexican flags in U.S. cities on May Day
to demand amnesty, Mexico's constitution "prohibits political
activities by foreigners, and such actions may result in detentions
and deportations." "Crime in Mexico continues at high
levels, and it is often violent, especially in Mexico City, Tijuana,
Ciudad Juarez, Nuevo Laredo (and) Acapulco," State warns
U.S. travelers. "Low apprehension rates and conviction rates
of criminals contribute to the high crime rate." "Women
traveling alone are especially vulnerable Victims ... have been
raped, robbed of personal property or abducted and then held
while their credit cards are used at various businesses and automatic
teller machines. ... Kidnapping, including the kidnapping of
non-Mexicans, continues at alarming rates."
- When Fox proposed his merger of America and Mexico in a North
American Union, Robert Bartley, for 30 years editorial page editor
of The Wall Street Journal, declared him a "visionary"
and pledged solidarity: "He (Fox) can rest assured that
there is one voice north of the Rio Grande that supports his
vision ... this newspaper."
- The American people never supported NAFTA, and they are angry
over Bush's failure to secure the border -- but a shotgun marriage
between our two nations appears prearranged. Central feature:
a ten-lane, 400-yard-wide NAFTA Super Highway from the Mexican
port of Lazaro Cardenas, up to and across the U.S. border, all
the way to Canada. Within the median strip dividing the north
and south car and truck lanes would be rail lines for both passengers
and freight traffic, and oil and gas pipelines.
- As author Jerome Corsi describes this Fox-Bush autobahn,
container ships from China would unload at Lazaro Cardenas, a
port named for the Mexican president who nationalized all U.S.
oil companies in 1938. From there, trucks with Mexican drivers
would run fast lines into the United States, hauling their cargo
to a U.S. customs inspection terminal -- in Kansas City, Mo.
From there, the trucks would fan out across America or roll on
into Canada. Similar super-highways from Mexico through the United
States into Canada are planned.
- According to Corsi, construction of the Trans-Texas Corridor,
the first leg of the NAFTA Super Highway, is to begin next year.
The beneficiaries of this NAFTA Super Highway project would be
the contractors who build it and the importers and outlet stores
for the Chinese-manufactured goods that would come flooding in.
The losers would be U.S. longshoremen, truckers, manufacturers
and taxpayers.
- The latter would pay the cost of building the highway in
Mexico and the United States, both in dollars and in the lost
sovereignty of our once-independent American republic. 2006 HUMAN

- BUILDING A NORTH AMERICAN COMMUNITY
- The idea to form the North American Union as a super-NAFTA
knitting together Canada, the United States and Mexico into a
super-regional political and economic entity was a key agreement
resulting from the March 2005 meeting held at Baylor University
in Waco, Tex., between President Bush, President Fox and Prime
Minister Martin.
- A joint statement published by the three presidents following
their Baylor University summit announced the formation of an
initial entity called, The Security and Prosperity Partnership
of North America (SPP). The joint statement termed the
SPP a trilateral partnership that was aimed at producing
a North American security plan as well as providing free market
movement of people, capital, and trade across the borders between
the three NAFTA partners: We will establish a common approach
to security to protect North America from external threats, prevent
and respond to threats within North America, and further streamline
the secure and efficient movement of legitimate, low-risk traffic
across our borders.
- A working agenda was established:
- We will establish working parties led by our ministers and
secretaries that will consult with stakeholders in our respective
countries. These working parties will respond to the priorities
of our people and our businesses, and will set specific, measurable,
and achievable goals. The U.S. Department of Commerce has produced
a SPP website, which documents how the U.S. has implemented the
SPP directive into an extensive working agenda.
- Following the March 2005 meeting in Waco, Tex., the Council
on Foreign Relations (CFR) published in May 2005 a task force
report titled Building a North American Community.
We have already documented that this CFR task force report calls
for a plan to create by 2010 a redefinition of boundaries such
that the primary immigration control will be around the three
countries of the North American Union, not between the three
countries. We have argued that a likely reason President Bush
has not secured our border with Mexico is that the administration
is pushing for the establishment of the North American Union.
- The North American Union is envisioned to create a super-regional
political authority that could override the sovereignty of the
United States on immigration policy and trade issues. In his
June 2005 testimony to the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
Robert Pastor, the Director of the Center for North American
Studies at American University, stated clearly the view that
the North American Union would need a super-regional governance
board to make sure the United States does not dominate the proposed
North American Union once it is formed:
- NAFTA has failed to create a partnership because North American
governments have not changed the way they deal with one another.
Dual bilateralism, driven by U.S. power, continue to govern and
irritate. Adding a third party to bilateral disputes vastly increases
the chance that rules, not power, will resolve problems.
- This trilateral approach should be institutionalized in a
new North American Advisory Council. Unlike the sprawling and
intrusive European Commission, the Commission or Council should
be lean, independent, and advisory, composed of 15 distinguished
individuals, 5 from each nation. Its principal purpose should
be to prepare a North American agenda for leaders to consider
at biannual summits and to monitor the implementation of the
resulting agreements.
- Pastor was a vice chairman of the CFR task force that produced
the report Building a North American Union.
- Pastor also proposed the creation of a Permanent Tribunal
on Trade and Investment with the view that a permanent
court would permit the accumulation of precedent and lay the
groundwork for North American business law. The intent
is for this North American Union Tribunal would have supremacy
over the U.S. Supreme Court on issues affecting the North American
Union, to prevent U.S. power from irritating and
retarding the progress of uniting Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.
into a new 21st century super-regional governing body.
- Robert Pastor also advises the creation of a North American
Parliamentary Group to make sure the U.S. Congress does not impede
progress in the envisioned North American Union. He has also
called for the creation of a North American Customs and Immigration
Service which would have authority over U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the Department of Homeland Security.
- Pastors 2001 book Toward a North American Community
called for the creation of a North American Union that would
perfect the defects Pastor believes limit the progress of the
European Union. Much of Pastors thinking appears aimed
at limiting the power and sovereignty of the United States as
we enter this new super-regional entity. Pastor has also called
for the creation of a new currency which he has coined the Amero,
a currency that is proposed to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian
dollar, and the Mexican peso.
- If President Bush had run openly in 2004 on the proposition
that a prime objective of his second term was to form the North
American Union and to supplant the dollar with the Amero,
we doubt very much that President Bush would have carried Ohio,
let alone half of the Red State majority he needed to win re-election.
Pursuing any plan that would legalize the conservatively estimated
12 million illegal aliens now in the United States could well
spell election disaster for the Republican Party in 2006, especially
for the House of Representative where every seat is up for grabs.
- Mr. Corsi is the author of several books, including "Unfit
for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry"
(along with John O'Neill), "Black Gold Stranglehold: The
Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil" (along with Craig
R. Smith), and "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought
the Bomb and American Politicians," and most recently, "Minutemen:
The Battle to Secure America's Borders." He is a frequent
guest on the G. Gordon Liddy radio show. He will soon co-author
a new book with Jim Gilchrist on the Minuteman Project. 2006
