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 / Cephas Library.

Things are changing rapidly now. The administration is on steroids making up for lost time bringing in the New World Order talked about publically since Bush Sr. He stated recently that things are going great toward their goal. Problem is anyone who speaks out against the New World Order is going to be silenced in some form or another. Controls are going in place without passing laws first. Free speech is on the way out.

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.

We trust that our readers will not be discouraged. It is God’s 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 Lord’s 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).

INTRODUCTION
To read this book requires love for the Gospel, if you don't you might as well put it away because you'll simply think it foolishness. The book proves that biblical truth is indeed truth that sustains us. No matter what happens to us we land on our feet and move on knowing we are only passing through. The world is irrelevant. What is relevant is our eternal life, where we'll spend it in heaven or hell. All human beings have eternal life but where they will spend it is the question.
This book will reveal the resistance we are up against in our enemy Satan who only works to undermine believers in Christ Jesus because Satan knows where he is going and wants all of humanity to join him. Those who already have sworn their allegiance to Satan are no problem to him. Like Jesus Christ, who preached only three years, was crucified because Satan hated Him, we become the object of Satan's hatred as well. Had Jesus weakened and let Satan tempt Him, He would have been King of this world for a season and the whole world would have ended up in hell forever.
Every man, woman, and child's salvation hung on one man. To prove to us that we can depend on Him forever, He weakened Himself by fasting 40 days before He was confronted with the offer to possess the whole world. If He was 100% human and 100% Spirit, He experienced everything humans do, yet gave Himself to be humiliated, be bled and died for our sakes who are completely undeserving as you will see in this book.
God knows our lot, that we have no chance of making it to Heaven on our own. We can try as hard as we want; Satan derails us at every turn without God's intervention. Most of us believe that we are good people and would not hurt anyone, go to church on Sunday and earn our wages by the sweat of our brow. That is well and good, but we tend to be rebels spiritually. We want to do it our way instead of studying the Bible we read other books and listen to evangelists in the hope that's going to get us to heaven. Nothing could be further from the truth. Continued:

 GOD OPENED THE EYES AND EARS OF AN UNBELIEVING SCIENTIST TO THE GOOD NEWS OF ETERNAL LIFE!
I speak as someone who used to be an enemy of all religion. I qualified to postgraduate level as a biological scientist. I believed in evolution and rejected the idea of there being a Creator God and I rejected the idea of the Bible being true. I was a difficult person to be with: hard, uncaring and stubborn. That has all since changed! I could not have done that by myself. I came to the point of ".repentance towards God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." (Acts20:21in the Bible) after this Creator God proved to me he was and is real and that the GOOD NEWS (or Gospel) proclaimed in his Word, the Bible, was and is true. Stories about how people repent and believe vary widely, but it must happen if you are to be saved. In my particular case, it happened after God re-enacted Pentecost for my benefit. "And suddenly there came from heaven the sound of a rushing wind that filled the whole house where they were sitting." (Acts 2:2)
The doors and windows were closed. There was no draught within. The only way that wind could have been generated in that room was by supernatural means. This wind went through my eardrums and penetrated every single part of my body. The wind of which we know in nature simply cannot do that. I demanded proof that the Gospel is true and I got it! Pentecost was an event that occurred in an upper room in a house in Jerusalem nearly two thousand years ago shortly after the death and rising from the dead of the Lord Jesus Christ. The early believers in Jesus experience an amazing phenomenon just like this. A violent, powerful, rushing wind entered that room and touched each one personally.
This "repeat" convinced me that everything Jesus said and did was true; that he lived, taught about the Kingdom of God, healed the sick, raised the dead; that he died a cruel death on the Cross and rose again from the dead. He is with us now by the Holy Spirit. He made the claim that he is the way to Eternal Life. I believe him.Will you?
How to get to Heaven from Here: The Good News is TRUE! Your life will end one day, as will mine. Anyone's life can be taken from him or her for almost any reason. But here is the Good News, also known as the Gospel. ANYONE can have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN. There is only one alternative, HELL. It exists. It is the outer darkness, the lake of fire. It is forever. If you reject the CHRIST of the BIBLE here, he will reject you there. Here is how to accept him: REPENT- aim to turn away from what is wrong in your life (sin). Realise that you are not good enough to go to Heaven on your own merits. "There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans Chapter 3:23)
BELIEVE UPON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Make a conscious positive decision to trust the RISEN Jesus Christ and him ALONE to forgive you of your sin and give you this Eternal Life. Heaven is and will be a place full of joy, peace, free from sin, death and pain. It is worth having and knowing that you have it!
Please read the following carefully and claim these things for yourself. It does not matter whether you are young or old, rich or poor, what country you come from or what religious tradition you might observe. YOU need to be saved from Hell. "Lord Jesus Christ, I am truly sorry for all the wrong things I have said, thought and done in my life. I wish to turn from these now. I appreciate that I am not good enough to get into heaven because of my sin. I ask that you forgive me. I believe that you took all of my sin on you when you died on the Cross two thousand years ago, that you did it for me personally. I believe that you rose again from the dead, never to die again, the perfect sacrifice once and for all. I invite you now into my life as my LORD and SAVIOUR. I accept your offer of Eternal Life through YOU and YOU ALONE. Thank you. Amen"
"..if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with your mouth 'Jesus is Lord' you will be saved." (Romans 10:9) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life." (John3:16) ".the love of God is shown in this, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) "Behold, now is the accepted time, now is the day of Salvation." (2 Corinthians 6:2) We live in an uncertain world, especially at this time. You can be here today and gone tomorrow. Be wise and obey the Gospel TODAY. It is TRUE.

THE ALIEN PROJECT 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT - THE JUPITER ...

"... On Jupiter, the abandoned Discovery craft is found undamaged in a decaying orbit around the moon Io. Upon reactivation by the joint spacecrew, a rendezvous is made with the monolith, discovered in the Lagrange point between Jupiter and Io. Through a sequence of demystifying scenes revolving around the transformed energy-based life-form of Bowman, contact is made with extraterrestrials, controllers of the monolith. Water is also found beneath the icy surface of the moon Europa. Aquatic life forms are discovered in these regions, as well as avian life under Jupiter's clouds.
With the recent Indian discovery of water on the moon, NASA's revelation of frozen water below the surface of Mars, NASA's LCROSS mission to bomb the moon for water and former astronaut Buzz Aldrin's declaration of a monolith on Mars' moon Phobos; I am really beginning to wonder where does the fictitiously imaginative narrative end and the reality begins. Especially given a new collaborative research from the University of Arizona and the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences that suggests that there is enough oxygen present in the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa to contain life. The research further states that if a 100 kilometer-deep ocean existed below the Europan ice shell, it would be at least 10 times deeper than any ocean on Earth and would contain twice as much water as Earth's oceans and rivers combined. ..

OBAMA OPENS WHITE HOUSE TO ADVISORS WHO WANT WANT UFOs REVEALED
The White House has released a list of visitors. Topping the list is Andy Stern president of the Service Employees International with 22 visits. Second on the list is John Podesta with 17 visits who has supported efforts from the UFO research community to pressure the United States government to release files to the public that could bring light on the simmering allegations of conspiracies and cover-up of the issue. At a 2002 news conference, Podesta stated, "It is time for the government to declassify records that are more than 25 years old and to provide scientists with data that will assist in determining the real nature of this phenomenon".
Obama may now decide to join in with the Vatican and other world leaders such as France’s Nicolas Sarkozy to announce extraterrestrial presence. David Cameron the Conservative leader in the UK said he "was convinced" the Earth had been visited by aliens and has vowed to publish any secret files that may exist on UFOs if he becomes Prime Minister”. The Washington Post announced today, “The Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences is holding its first major conference on astrobiology, the new science that seeks to find extraterrestrial life in the universe and to understand how life began on Earth.
In The United Kingdom, newly released files reveal that Lord Hill-Norton a former head of the Armed Forces wrote to the defence secretary urging him to “demonstrate a more serious concern” over the Bentwaters UFO sighting. Files previously released by the Ministry of Defence disclose that Lord Hill-Norton a five-star Admiral and the former Head of the British Ministry of Defence was kept in the dark about the UFO subject during his official capacities. In a short interview with James Fox, the late Admiral emphatically stated that, “The UFO subject has great significance and should no longer be denied and kept secret; there is a serious possibility that we are being visited — and have been visited for many years — by people from outer space, from other civilizations; that it behooves us to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want.” This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation.” - Filer's Files #46 - Whole story:

WILL OBAMA BE THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT UFOS?
October 12th, 2009 Comment by R. J. Thomas on Obama's Blog - After decades of waiting for a president to brief the American public on the existence of UFOs, paranormal buffs are now wondering if President Obama will be the first to finally tell the truth about flying saucers and other such matters. The Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee is requesting the president ask for a full briefing from the military and government officials on what they know about UFOs. The committee, also known as X-PPAC, is the first group in history to directly target politics and the subject of UFOs. They organized the Million Fax on Washington, a petition where faxes, letters, and e-mails were sent to Obama just after he was elected last November, requesting he bring all UFO secrets into the light and officially end years of government secrets and mysterious cover-ups.
But is Obama even interested?
“Unlike presidents Carter, Reagan, and Clinton, President Obama appears to have very little interest in UFOs,” said filmmaker R. J. Thomas, whose mock-documentary, “The Top Secret UFO Project” parodies UFO sightings and cover-ups. “Obama says he is more concerned about improving people’s lives than he is about aliens.”
At the close of “The Top Secret UFO Project,” it is mentioned that “The Jasper Incident,” a UFO-themed, film-within-the-film, was shown to President Bush at the White House in early 2004. The next day, the president told the press that he found the film very entertaining, but said that no spaceships were ever seen or seized by the government, and that anyone who believes in flying saucers is out of his mind.
The epilogue is a joke, illustrating the fact that Bush, like most of Washington:

NORWAY SPIRAL VIDEO: MYSTERY SOLVED??
2009 December 11 - That Norway spiral video? There was speculation that it was a UFO arriving to congratulate President Barack Obama ... A strange, spiral light in the sky is seen above Skjervoy, Norway, on Dec. 9.
By Dan Murphy Staff writer / December 10, 2009
A UFO? A Stargate style wormhole opening a path to other galaxies? The Aurora borealis?
A videotape of a strange spiraling cloud captured over Norway at dawn on Wednesday morning has had the Internet all atwitter (literally) with speculation as to its causes – everything from space aliens arriving to celebrate Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize award, to clandestine aviation tests. Well, now it appears the mystery of the phenomenon, which bore some resemblance to a spiral galaxy, has been solved. Russia says it was the result of a failed test launch for its troubled Bulava missile program. In a statement, the Russian Defense Ministry said it fired a Bulava from a submarine in the White Sea near the Norwegian coast Wednesday morning. The intercontinental ballistic missile’s first two stages worked perfectly, the ministry said, though the third stage engine proved “unstable.” Continued: http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/norway-spiral-video-mystery-solved/

EPISCOPAL NUNS JOIN ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
Friday Church News Notes, September 18, 2009, by David Cloud - www.wayoflife.org - Ten nuns of the Episcopal Church in America joined the Roman Catholic Church this month. The nuns, from the All Saints Sisters of the Poor of Maryland, left the Episcopal Church because it has "become too liberal in its acceptance of homosexuality" ("Episcopal Nuns Leave," USA Today, Sept. 9, 2009). The community's chaplain, Warren Tanghe, also joined Rome. Christina Christie, the order's superior, said, "We were drifting farther apart from the more liberal road the Episcopal Church is traveling. We are now more at home in the Roman Catholic Church." In truth, they have jumped from the frying pan into the fire. The Roman Catholic Church is not only permeated with its own heresies (e.g., the papacy, a sacramental gospel, veneration of Mary, priests who allegedly stand in the place of Christ, the transubstantiation of the mass wafer), it is also filled with theological modernism. Pope John Paul II stated that the theory of evolution must be taken seriously by Christians (Vatican Information Service, October 23, 1996). Pope Benedict XVI calls Mary "Heaven's Gate" ("All can enter eternal life, but the door is narrow," Catholic News Agency, Aug. 27, 2007). As for homosexuality, it has been stated that 50% of Roman Catholic seminarians in America are homosexual (David France, "Gay and the Seminary," Newsweek, April 20, 2002). This article describes "an aggressive gay ethos." The total payout for sex abuse by the Roman Catholic Church in America is well over $2 billion. A conservative Catholic organization documented this wretched business in the fall/winter 2002 issue of the magazine Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, observing, ". the overwhelming majority of sexual abuse cases in the Catholic Church--about 90%--involve homosexual priests preying on teenage boys." By forbidding to marry (among other things), Rome has long identified itself as an institution that has departed from the faith and that is giving heed to doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1-4). http://www.wayoflife.org

ORAL ROBERTS DIES PROVING THAT HIS TEACHING WAS FALSE
December 18, 2009, www.wayoflife.org - Famous Pentecostal “healing evangelist” Oral Roberts died of pneumonia on December 15 at age 91. This act proved that his teaching was false, as he often said that it is God’s will to heal every sickness. For example, the September 1976 issue of Abundant Life magazine contained an article entitled, “Why I Know that God Wants to Heal You.” Roberts wrote, “Sickness is part of the curse and Jesus came to destroy the curse. He suffered in our stead because he did not want us to suffer disease. He took our specific diseases and infirmities upon his own sinless, perfect body in complete payment for the penalty of sin,” and, “Sickness is not part of God’s plan and not devised by God’s will.” Roberts even suggested that preachers who pray for God to heal, “If it be thy will,” should be sued for “theological malpractice.” When he breathed his last, Roberts demonstrated with great finality that he was a false teacher. No one dies of healthiness! http://www.wayoflife.org/files/9013dcb3aac5bd9df06e483cd35fa741-480.html

CATHOLIC CHURCH FUNDING A.C.O.R.N.
September 23, 2009 While Obama has strong ties to ACORN, they were originally established through the US Catholic Church, which has also funded ACORN and similar organizations to the tune of millions of dollars. This is another taboo topic for most of the media. Even conservative news organizations are afraid of raising the issue, apparently fearing being tagged with the "anti-Catholic" label. But the truth has been seeping out in mysterious ways. In a Politico.com story about Barack Obama's friendly meeting with the Pope, reporter Josh Gerstein featured information that made it clear that the President's Catholic connection goes back to his days as a community organizer and that Obama's associates understand and appreciate this fact.
Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough was quoted as saying that Obama's work as an organizer on the South Side of Chicago "was funded partly" by the "Catholic Church campaign for human development. . ." He was referring to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), an annual collection authorized by the US Catholic Bishops which is advertised as a charity to "break the vicious cycle of poverty" but in reality has funded left-wing political organizations such as ACORN to the tune of millions of dollars..

DEATH-TOLL BY ABORTION GREATER THAN THAT OF WORLD WAR II
Friday Church News Notes, September 18, 2009, by David Cloud - www.wayoflife.org - The following is excerpted from LifeSiteNews, Sept. 9, 2009: "'The death-toll of World War II was a tragic prelude to the far greater slaughter by abortion and euthanasia that has happened since,' John Smeaton, Britain's leading pro-life advocate, told a national pro-life conference last weekend. 'Deaths of unborn children worldwide through abortion vastly outnumber the total of military and civilian war deaths,' he added. In his address 'The Pro-Life Battle Ahead,' Smeaton, director of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), told his audience, 'We're not fighting Nazi tyranny but the tyranny of politicians who promote legislation worldwide that destroys the lives of unborn children.' Smeaton warned about the challenges ahead for Britain, including the so-called Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), a protocol developed to help make health care rationing decisions in Britain's nationalised health system that has resulted in effectively legalising euthanasia by dehydration. Smeaton said the LCP 'is just the tip of the iceberg in relation to euthanasia practices in hospitals.'" http://www.wayoflife.org

HOMOSEXUAL SUES BIBLE PUBLISHER FOR "MENTAL ANGUISH"
Friday Church News Notes, September 18, 2009, by David Cloud - www.wayoflife.org - The following is excerpted from WorldNetDaily, September 9, 2009: "A homosexual man is suing a third national Bible publisher for 'mental anguish' after he says the company published Bibles with a negative connotation toward homosexuals. Bradley LaShawn Fowler of Canton, Mich., alleges William Tyndale Publishing manipulated Scripture when it published Tyndale's New Living Translation Holy Bible and the New Life Application Study Bible by using the term 'homosexuals' in a New Testament passage, 1 Corinthians 6:9. ... Fowler, who had a blog on Sen. Barack Obama's campaign website last year, filed his initial complaint against Christian publishers Zondervan and Thomas Nelson Publishing. Fowler, who represented himself in both lawsuits, said in his complaint against Zondervan that the publisher intended to design a religious, sacred document to reflect an individual opinion or a group's conclusion to cause 'me or anyone who is a homosexual to endure verbal abuse, discrimination, episodes of hate, and physical violence ... including murder.' He told the Grand Rapids' WOOD-TV in 2008 that he wants to 'compensate for the past 20 years of emotional duress and mental instability.' ... When Fowler filed his initial claim against Zondervan, he alleged its Bibles' references to homosexuality as a sin made him an outcast from his family and contributed to physical discomfort and periods of 'demoralization, chaos and bewilderment.'" http://www.wayoflife.org

IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER CALLS MUSLIMS TO PREPARE FOR ‘SAVIOR’
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL (BosNewsLife) August 28, 2009 – Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called on Muslims around the world to mobilize their troops alongside Iran against Israel and the United States to prepare for the coming of the “Mahdi” seen as “the savior of Islam“. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged all Islamic countries to unite in anticipation of Mahdd al-Montazar, Arabic for the “awaited one”, according to statements obtained by BosNewsLife Friday, August 28.
“We still have a long way to go in order to achieve this. We have to train honest forces that can stop the obstacles that may hinder the coming of the Mahdi like the United States and Israel,” said Ali Saeedi, a spokesman for the Iranian leader in statements distributed by Arabic media. He described Iran’s supreme leader as “a direct representative” of the Mahdi and said following his orders is like “obeying the guided one.”
ARMED FORCES
“Since the armed forces are commanded by the Supreme Leader, they are thus obeying the orders of the awaited Mahdi,” Saeedi explained. He said Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and armed forces “hold religious authority to prepare for the appearance of the Mahdi.” The Mahdi is believed by Muslims to be arriving before Judgment Day to rid the world of injustice. Several Evangelical scholars view developments in the Middle East as signs of the Biblical “last days” before Christ’s return to take away “the Body of Christ”, describing everyone who believes in Him.

SALUTE TO DENMARK ... THIS COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN HERE ON OUR CONTINENT.
Susan MacAllen is a contributing editor for (FamilySecurityMatters.org) Salute the Danish Flag - it's a Symbol of Western Freedom By Susan MacAllen In 1978-9 I was living and studying in Denmark . But in 1978 - even in Copenhagen , one didn't see Muslim immigrants. The Danish population embraced visitors, celebrated the exotic, went out of its way to protect each of its citizens. It was proud of its new brand of socialist liberalism one in development since the conservatives had lost power in 1929 - a system where no worker had to struggle to survive, where one ultimately could count upon the 0state as in, perhaps, no other western nation at the time.
The rest of Europe saw the Scandinavians as free-thinking, progressive and infinitely generous in their welfare policies. Denmark boasted low crime rates, devotion to the environment, a superior educational system and a history of humanitarianism. Denmark was also most generous in its immigration policies - it offered the best welcome in Europe to the new immigrant: generous welfare payments from first arrival plus additional perks in transportation, h ousing and education. It was determined to set a world example for inclusiveness and multiculturalism. How could it have predicted that one day in 2005 a series of political cartoons in a newspaper would spark violence that would leave dozens dead in the streets -all because its commitment to multiculturalism would come back to bite?

EUROPE IS CHANGING TO ACCOMMODATE ISLAM, SAYS US AUTHOR
September 10, 2009 - Immigration is changing Europe and not for the better, says US author Christopher Caldwell. "You can't argue that immigration is necessary on economic grounds and then not look at the economic effects. In Germany the number of immigrants grew from 3 million in 1971 to 7.5 million in 2000, but the number of immigrants with jobs remained more or less equal, at around 2 million. This is the kind of statistic that Christopher Caldwell likes to point out, because it illustrates a blind spot that politicians in most Western European countries have when it comes to the economic and social cost of immigration, he says. Caldwell, an American writer and a journalist, has written a polemic book about the issue: Reflections on the revolution in Europe: Can Europe be the same with different people in it? In a nutshell: the economic benefits of immigration were short-lived and marginal while the social consequences have been far-reaching and have led to a watering-down of traditional European values.

MALASIA HEARINGS START IN CATHOLIC FIGHT OVER USE OF THE WORD ‘ALLAH’
ReligionNewsBlog.com - December 14, 2009 - KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Lawyers for the Roman Catholic Church urged a court Monday to let Christians use “Allah” as a translation for God and overturn a government ban that has become a symbol of religious grievances in Muslim-majority Malaysia. The High Court began hearing legal arguments in the dispute, which began in late 2007 after the government blocked non-Muslims from translating God as “Allah” in their literature, saying it would confuse Muslims. Authorities have insisted that Allah should be used exclusively by Muslims to refer to God, and its use by other religions would be misleading. [...more...]
- Source / Full Story: Malaysia hearings start in Catholic ‘Allah’ fight, Associated Press via the Washington Post, Dec. 14, 2009 — Summarized by Religion News Blog . While Malaysia has a secular legal system, the country is ruled by a ‘moderate’ Muslim majority. “Muslims in Malaysia come under the purview of religious courts that are not part of the secular federal legal system. Any attempt to deviate from Islamic teachings, or to leave the religion, can bring harsh penalties from the religious courts.” [source] In 2008 The Herald, a weekly magazine circulated among the country’s 850,000 Catholics, nearly lost its publishing licence for using the disputed word. Last February it was reported that the Malaysian government had softened an earlier ban on the use of the word “Allah” by Christian publications to refer to God and is allowing them to use it as long as they specify the material is not for Muslims. The Herald nevertheless elected to continue its court case, started to force the government to allow it to print the word “Allah.” According to AP, minority groups in Malaysia say their rights are being eroded amid increasing “Islamisation” of the country.

OBAMAS WON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
A survey of adult Americans finds that an overwhelming majority prefer the seasonal expression "Merry Christmas." More than seven out of ten, in fact. Twenty-two percent, according to Rasmussen Reports, go for "Happy Holidays." However, the Obamas, who won't spend their first December holidays in the White House, apparently don't like either one. The Obamas have just mailed thousands of greeting cards that say simply, "Season's Greetings." They're cream-colored, maroon-bordered cards showing a gold wreath wrapped around the presidential coat of arms. The Obamas' card, paid for by the Democratic National Committee, makes no religious reference whatsoever. "May your family have a joyous holiday season," says the Obamas' greeting, "and a new year blessed with hope and happiness." This comes after reports that, initially anyway, the Obama White House planned its first Christmas to be a "non-religious" one, kind of like a non-sports Super Bowl Sunday. Not Archived 12/12/09 However - Barack Obama doesn't want to offend the sensibilities of folks who aren't Christian by celebrating Christmas, and avoids any reference to the birth of Christ -- even though it's a federal holiday -- at least that's his excuse. But the "alleged" Christian, who rarely, if ever, attends Christian services, has no problem offending Christians by attending services in a mosque.
 
 
The photo above (left) was taken in a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. It shows Obama preparing for an Islamic service taking place in the Sultan Ahmed Mosque.

JIHAD'S APOLOGIST
In this video, Obama comments on the five Muslim-American jihadiis from the Washington, DC area, who were arrested in Pakistan, and who said they were on jihad. "I prefer not to comment" (01:39)
on the page. There he goes again, covering up for the brothers just like he did for the jihadist, Nidal Hassan, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. Obama never has a bad word for Muslims. He's just one big apologist for jihad, Sooner or later Obama's Muslim empathy and sympathy is going to blow up right in his face, and a lot more Americans will be dead. Just look at the recent instances of jihad provided by Pamela Geller, at Atlas Shrugs -- no doubt Obama doesn't want to comment on these events either.
Angry Obama Loses His Cool
The Examiner believes Obama is quite the angry man these days. Obama, who fancies himself a solid B+ or A- thus far, was supposed to be loved and adored in Copenhagen, ground zero for the new communist movement known as "the green movement." (Do a quick Google search on Gorbachev and "green movement" for more on that one.) Global warming propagandists and frauds from all over the world have converged on Copenhagen to promote a new Communist global initiative that will further crush America’s economy. Of course, who cares about putting food on the table when you have carbon footprints to consider? Raising our utility bills in some cases by 100-200% is the least we could do when we can barely pay our bills as it is. So in the completely snow-covered global warming convention, Obama was supposed to be a rock star. President Bush, we were told, had so damaged our nation’s prestige in the world (particularly on the environment) that only a political deity like Obama could dig us out of this negative avalanche. Yet, the great hope of Saul Alinsky has fallen flat on his face. It seems the world is souring on Obama nearly as quickly as America is. The U.K.’s Guardian reports that Obama "looked visibly frustrated as he appeared before world leaders." More: http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaLatest.htm

VIDEO: AN ISLAMIC VIEW OF GOG AND MAGOG IN THE MODERN AGE
December 19, 2009 - By Imran N. Hosein - I began my study of Gog and Magog more than fifteen years ago in the early 90’s while resident in New York. My subsequent public lectures on the subject never failed to provoke keen interest from my Muslim audiences in several parts of the world. The evidence and arguments presented in the chapter on Gog and Magog in my book, ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’, succeeded in convincing many who read the book that we now live in a world dominated by Gog and Magog. They were easily convinced that the ‘town’ mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah al-Anbiyah’ (21:95-6) was Jerusalem and hence, that Gog and Magog (and Dajjal) explained the ominously unfolding ‘war on Islam’ with slaughter and destruction of Muslims in so many parts of the world. As a consequence, such readers also understood Israel’s mysterious imperial agenda, and many have been making efforts to extricate themselves and their families from the embrace of Gog and Magog – an embrace that will take 999 out of every 1000 of mankind into the hellfire.Despite my best efforts, however, I failed miserably, again and again, to convince my learned peers, the scholars of Islam, that Gog and Magog were even released into the world. I earnestly hope and pray that this book might make a difference Insha’ Allah.Download Ebook ( PDF 1.4MB )

BILLY GRAHAM AND HIS FRIENDS
Sir Billy Graham? Graham Sellout Honored By The British Throne - Knowledgeable observers weren't a bit surprised when Billy Graham was knighted in 2001 by the British royal family, for Dr. Graham long ago slipped into the service of the Beast of Babylon. After the announcement of his impending retirement and turning the reigns of his million dollar media empire to his son Franklin Graham, Billy Graham continues as a beloved figure in the eyes of millions of deceived Christians. While most "Christians" are outraged to hear their religious idol soundly criticized, the plain truth is Dr. Graham has long since departed from Scriptural imperatives requiring he tell the truth about the enormous apostasy that is now enveloping the entire world.
From his blanket endorsement of the False Prophet, Pope John Paul II, to his more recent heretical statements that betray his true spiritual agenda, Dr. Billy Graham is the singular most influential false prophet in America. Fortunately, a new book finally details his tremendous deception in astonishing detail.
Billy Graham and His Friends: A Hidden Agenda? is the latest work from Dr. Cathy Burns, an expert on Freemasonry and other branches of occult secret societies. An astonishing 788 pages, Billy Graham and His Friends is supported by a staggering 4,400 footnotes! Among other things, the book documents how Billy Graham has embraced: Continued: http://endrtimes.blogspot.com/2007/08/billy-graham-friend-or-foe.html

FRANKLIN GRAHAM: MINISTER OF CHRIST OR PRIEST OF BAAL?
September 9, 2009 David Cloud, wayoflife.org - The following report is by Pastor Ralph Ovadal, Pilgrims Covenant Church, Monroe, Wisconsin, http://www.pccmonroe.org/neo-evangelicalism/2009.08.14.htm.
"And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them." 1 Kings 18:28
Less than a week ago, as I am writing this article, I, and members of our Pilgrims Covenant Church, spent over five hours "without the camp" preaching the gospel of Christ and bearing biblical witness against a carnal monstrosity called "Rock the River." This event was one of four staged in Mississippi River cities by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. As of now, approximately 90,000 young people have been "ministered" to at the three Rock the River events that have already taken place.
Rock the River is the proud brainchild of BGEA president/CEO Franklin Graham, who also briefly preached the Graham gospel several times during each of the six to seven hour "Christian" rock concerts. Mr. Graham was very candid about his reason for making use of head-banging rock, hip-hop, and even a mosh pit set up by BGEA. "We're just changing the lure. Kids today love rock music. We're giving them the music they like and understand" (Quad City Times, Aug. 9, 2009). Now, much could and should be said about using sensual, in some cases even sexualized, rock bands to "lure" young people into hearing the gospel according to Franklin Graham. The same is true of Graham's open collusion with Roman Catholics in the planning of Rock the River. But on the August 14th "Heart of the Matter" program I dealt with those issues in depth [http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=81409169342]. What I want to very briefly address here is Franklin Graham's notion of what is worship acceptable to the Lord. The Scriptures have much to say on that very issue, for instance: "Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness" (Psa. 29:2), and, "God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him" (Psa. 89:7).

PAPAL KNIGHT RUPERT MURDOCH IS NO. 25
Top 49 Men 2006 - August 12, 2007 UPI NO.25 Australian entrepreneur Rupert Murdoch is the owner of News Corporation, the bigger-than-life media conglomerate that owns dozens of newspapers, television networks and movie studios around the globe. Although Murdoch’s influence is incalculable, Forbes magazine recently estimated his net worth at a staggering $7.2 billion. Not bad for a guy who started with a single newspaper in Adelaide, Australia. Behind the scenes
Although Rupert Murdoch clearly enjoys making money, he also has no problem giving it away. Through the past decade alone this Melbourne native has given generously to global aid, including a remarkable $1-million donation in 2005 to the Asian tsunami relief effort. Murdoch’s philanthropy has even earned him an induction into the prestigious Order of St. Gregory the Great -- one of the five pontifical orders of knighthood in the Catholic Church.
On the horizon Murdoch is currently investing his considerable energy into expanding MySpace, the popular social-networking website which he acquired on July 20, 2005. ”This time next year," [MySpace] will launch into 10 or 11 additional countries,” he recently pledged. That includes the previously untapped media market of China.
Murdoch will also continue to oversee the day-to-day operations of his growing media empire. “I try to keep in touch with the details,” he says. “That doesn't mean you interfere, but it's important occasionally to show the ability to be involved. It shows you understand what's happening.”
In His Words: “You can't build a strong corporation with a lot of committees and a board that has to be consulted every turn. You have to be able to make decisions on your own.” - Rupert Murdoch on building his media empire.
“Our reputation is more important than the last hundred million dollars.” - Rupert Murdoch on maintaining the integrity of News Corporation. Source: http://www.askmen.com/specials/2006_top_49/rupert-murdoch-25.html

OPRAH WINDFREY: CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD
Beware of this book!! Oprah is pushing it. It is scary that someone would be bold enough to write a book from God's point of view contrary to His Word.
If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you have neighborhood children whose parents you know, please take note of the information below and pass it along to others. Schools are distributing this book to children through the Scholastic Book Club.
The name of the book is Conversations with God.. James Dobson talked about this book twice this week. It is devastating. Parents, churches and Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass this information on to church/e-mail addresses, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, friends.

Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV, in movie theaters, on the Internet, and the music they listen to, but also be alert regarding the books they read. Two particular books are, Conversations with God and Conversations with God for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch. They sound harmless enough by their titles alone. The books have been on the New York Times best sellers list for a number of weeks, and they make truth of the statement, "Don't judge a book by its cover or title." The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the "voice of God". However, the "answers" that he gives are not Bible-based and go against the very infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question "Why am I a lesbian?" His answer is that she was 'born that way' because of genetics (just as you were born right-handed, with brown eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go out and "celebrate" her differences. Another girls poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I marry him?" His reply is, "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you have done nothing wrong." Continued: http://www.cephas-library.com/apostasy_conversations_with_god.html

THE RAPE OF THE CHURCH - THE TODD BENTLEY QUAGMIRE
March 12th 2009 As the Todd Bentley story unfolded, many of us chose to err on the side of mercy, to hope and pray for repentance and restoration, we withheld sharp criticism, in the belief that there must be somehow, somewhere a spark of righteousness left that would eventually triumph and birth genuine repentance. Those hopes have now been dashed by the recent news published on Rick Joyner’s web page and echoed by Charisma that Todd Bentley has now divorced his wife, married his mistress and is going to begin a process of restoration (after the fact) with a view to returning to ministry. We are left astonished, dumbfounded, incredulous and altogether pained by the current turn of events, and worse, by the attitude of the ‘leaders’ who surround him. Since we received many visits to this blog to read our previous article on this scandal, we are duty bound to comment on the latest happenings. Rick Joyner is leading the restoration team which includes leaders who had vouched for Bentley’s good character in the past even as he was deceiving us all, and has posted a letter on his web page. We are informed that ‘Even so, they are married now and are resolved to make the most of their marriage, their lives, and to continue to serve the Lord in the best way that they can.

MICHAEL JACKSON AND THE MORAL DECLINE
With the film release of “Michael Jackson: This Is It” on October 28, 2009, the King of Pop is still receiving idolatrous praise by many in the liberal media, despite the preponderance of evidence suggesting that he was a child rapist. Tragically, as we have learned through the Roman Polanski saga, if you have been anointed by the liberal media and have even a modicum of talent, they will give you a free pass to rape America’s children.
Stacy Brown, co-author of “Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask,” illustrates how even fans who acknowledged Jackson’s guilt seemed to give Jackson a pass because he could sing and dance. Brown admits, “Let’s face it, I’m not one to believe that Michael was innocent of molesting children, but he was never convicted.” However, despite her belief that Jackson was guilty of child molestation, the star-struck Brown praises Michael Jackson as “Elvis, the Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, and the Beatles all rolled into one.” Should we place OJ Simpson on a pedestal because of his incredible running ability and conclude, “Let’s face it, I’m not one to believe that OJ was innocent of murdering people, but he was never convicted?” Cont'd http://cupofjoe.goodfight.org/?p=612

SENATOR PROBES FORGERY CHARGES AGAINST BOOK OF MORMON
September 9, 2009 - Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, has spent time on and off for the last seven years building a defense of the Book of Mormon, one of the key tomes of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Religion News Service reports. The three-term senator, A former missionary and bishop and the grandson of a past president of the church, has now delved into a different debate: whether the book Mormons believe was revealed by an angel to their founder Joseph Smith in the 1820s is authentic. Bennett says 'Leap of Faith: Confronting the Origins of the Book of Mormon,' was sparked by the 'shallow treatment of a serious subject' by media who covered the church and its scripture around the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Scholars outside the Mormon faith also have strong doubts about the Book of Mormon’s historical accuracy because they find scant evidence of the large groups of people it says roamed the earth centuries ago. [...] Jan Shipps, a non-Mormon scholar who has studied Latter-day Saints for half a century, said she hasn’t assessed the veracity of the Book of Mormon but said it certainly has its critics.'They say it was either a copy of something or that it was a forgery of some kind, that a man without any kind of education could not have written this book,' said Shipps, former professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
- Source / Full Story: Senator Probes Forgery Charges Against Book of Mormon, Religion News Service via Beliefnet, Sep. 8, 2009 In fact, Christians, most of whom consider the Mormon Church to be, theologically, a cult of Christianity, point out lots of problems facing the Book of Mormon. Lots and lots of problems. And that while Joseph Smith, who founded the Mormon Church, claimed that the Book of Mormon was 'the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.'http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23610/bob-bennett-forgery-charges-against-book-of-mormon

There has been a deep decline in Christian credibility. Many believers have replaced a desire to live authentically with the phony business-like relationships found in exclusiveness and excess. We’ve isolated ourselves and established cozy cliques for the purpose of feeling comfortable while believing we are “spiritually mature.” In the process of seeking to take care of ourselves we’ve turned away from relationships and vainly chased the empty trappings of success. The drive for numbers is the rule while the nurturing and life-giving power of authentic Christian community has become the exception.
Like insects lured in by the brightness of bug-killing bulbs, we are inevitably drawn to serve for charismatic authority figures. Leaders pay close attention to us and have taken notice of our tendency to be attracted by achievement and picture perfect packaging. In the process of seeking celebrity, pompous pastors fool themselves into believing their grand vision of success has been inspired by God. They push their personal agenda without regard for concerns voiced by church membership.
While building considerable communities, these ministers masterfully manipulate members to comply with commands without regard for the spiritual health or the well-being of their faithful followers. Longing to live in the limelight has taken precedence over humility and their desire to serve the Lord. Unscrupulous pastors undertake the un-churched (people who are more easily exploited). They promote an unbalanced life underscored by unremitting ambition.
Are we okay with allowing this unhealthy trend to go unrecognized, unchecked or unquestioned?
How do we start repudiating a self destructive culture of narcissism and aristocratic arrogance?
Can anyone hope to make a difference?
It was during the 1978 investigation into the Jim Jones cult -- where 909 devoted followers eventually died after purposefully ingesting Kool-Aidâ mixed with the deadly poison cyanide -- when Congresswoman Jackie Speler made the comment, “Was anyone going to be brave enough to come forward?” Asked over thirty years ago, this question still resonates and prompts each of us to consider our part in the silent erosion of Christian community.

THE SECRET HISTORY OF OUR TIME: THE POPE AND SATAN, WAR AND THE ANTI-CHRIST, REVELATION AND THE LAST DAYS
Author’s Note: In order to come up with an accurate understanding of today’s world crisis it is necessary to start looking at it from the spiritual dimension. This essay attempts to do so, using sources acquired during many years of study.
By the latter half of the 19th century, say at the time of the great Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893, many visionaries saw mankind poised to enter a Golden Age of peace, prosperity, innovation, and progress. The reason, of course, was the Industrial Revolution, especially the relatively recent harnessing of electricity and what that could mean in terms of bringing the benefits of science and technology to bear on raising standards of living and improving the health, longevity, and culture of the masses. Most promising was the possibility that all the new ways of harnessing the hidden forces of nature could allow everyone the leisure to enjoy life, not just the privileged few.
We know that it did not work out that way. Along with skyscrapers, the telephone, airplanes, and automobiles came the horrors of the 20th century, with its wars, revolutions, genocides, and pestilences. There also came the exploitation of the earth and its resources, especially petroleum, for the enrichment of wealthy minorities in the most heavily-armed nations and the development of arsenals of weapons eventually capable of wiping all life off the planet.Today we seem to be in a late stage of these tragedies, with the U.S. military poised to complete the armed conquest of the earth through a continuous series of assaults against the nations of the Middle East followed by even bigger targets.

HOW MORMONISM CREATED GLENN BECK
By Joanna Brooks - [Ednote: Glenn was Catholic before he became a Mormon.]
October 22, 2009 - With Glenn Beck now a mainstay in the national debate, the public is getting exposure to a peculiar strain of religious political conservatism rooted in Mormon culture. Glenn Beck leans forward on his elbows. His voice hushes. His eyes grow red at the corners. He presses his lips together and clears his throat. He cannot speak. The tears fall, and just for a moment the brashest voice in American conservatism today falls silent. This is what happens when Beck tells the story of his 1999 conversion to Mormonism. "I was friendless, working in the smallest radio market I had ever worked in... a hopeless alcoholic, abusing drugs every day," Beck said in an interview taped last fall. "I was trying to find a job and nobody would hire me... couldn’t get an agent to represent me."
That’s when Beck’s wife-to-be Tania suggested that the family go on a "church tour," which finally led (after some prodding from Beck’s longtime on-air partner Pat Gray, a Mormon) to his local Mormon wardhouse. Six months later, the Beck family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. "I was baptized on a Sunday, and on Monday" -- Beck’s throat tightens again; he wipes tears from his eyes with his index fingers -- "an agent called me out of the blue." Three days later, Beck was offered his own political talk radio show at WFLA-AM in Tampa, Florida, the job that put him on the road from "morning zoo" radio prankster to conservative media heavyweight.
Spiritual narratives of the I-once-was-lost- now-I-am- financially- sound variety are commonplace within Mormonism, which, like most of American Protestantism, has never been allergic to wealth. The institutional culture of the Mormon Church is strongly corporate, down to the dark suits, white shirts, and red or blue ties church leaders wear instead of vestments; Mormonism’s most powerful public figures like Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman Jr., and Bill Marriott Jr., come from the business world. But whether or not one believes that God rewards baptism with fortune, it is clear that Glenn Beck’s conversion to and education in the Mormon faith after 1999 corresponds precisely with his rise as a media force.

THE HUMAN ORIGINS OF THE BOOK OF MORMON - PART 1
By Wesley P. Walters - 1979 Institute of Pastoral Studies of the Christian Counseling & Education Foundation
Two unpublished manuscripts surfaced in 1979 in Salt Lake City, Utah, written by the noted Mormon historian, Brigham H. Roberts, and surprisingly proposing that Joseph Smith, Jr., could have composed the Book of Mormon himself. Written between 1922 and the time of Roberts’ death in 1933, they are undoubtedly the most objective look at the origins of the Book of Mormon ever made by a General Authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Elder Roberts now admits that the Book of Mormon is in conflict with what is now known about the early inhabitants of America from twentieth-century archeological investigation. He argues that Joseph Smith, Jr. could have produced the book himself, given his highly imaginative mind and the "common knowledge" about the American aborigines current in his day, and he sets forth an abundance of evidence that the book is a product of the early nineteenth-century intellectual climate. "One Mormon professor, after reading the manuscripts, remarked, 'B. H. Roberts came about as near calling Joseph Smith, Jr. a fraud and a deceiver as the polite language of a religious man would permit.' "
Whether Roberts wrote these works to summarize some of the main objections to the Book of Mormon’s divinity seems difficult to determine. The letters that accompany the manuscripts suggest the former, but the manuscripts themselves give the decided impression that Roberts had come to doubt the book’s divine origin. One Mormon professor, after reading the manuscripts, remarked, "B. H. Roberts came about as near calling Joseph Smith, Jr. a fraud and a deceiver as the polite language of a religious man would permit." Whatever the motive, the manuscripts deserve consideration on their own merit and present one of the strongest statements ever set forth by a recognized Mormon authority questioning the divine origin of the Book of Mormon.

THE NIGHTMARE OF CHRISTIANITY
September 10, 2009 - The Nation has posted an excerpt from the book, Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered the Party, by Max Blumenthal. The excerpt relates the back story of Matthew Murray, the young man who in December 2007 killed himself after fatally shooting several people at a YWAM training center and at the New Life Church, both in Colorado. Blumenthal describes Murray as “a deeply disturbed young man” who “had been indelibly scarred by a lifetime of psychological abuse at the hands of his charismatic Pentecostal parents.” The author says Murray’s mind became crowded with thoughts of death, destruction, and the killings he would soon carry out in the name of avenging what he called his “nightmare of Christianity.” From his description it appears to have been a nightmare indeed. On an online chat room for former Pentecostals, Murray heaped contempt on his mother, Loretta, a physical therapist who homeschooled him to ensure that his contact with the outside world was severely limited. “My ‘mother,’” Murray wrote, “is just a brainswashed [sic] church agent cun,t [sic]. The only reason she had me was because she wanted a body/soul she could train into being the next Billy Graham…” Continued: http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23614/nightmare-of-christianity

MASONS BRACE FOR NEW DAN BROWN NOVEL
September 11, 2009 - With Dan Brown’s newest novel, The Lost Symbol, hitting bookstores Sept. 15, 2009 much of it rumored to revolve around Masonic myths - the Masons are in pre-emptive damage-control mode, Religion News Service reports. Although Brown - of Da Vinci Code fame - and his publisher, Doubleday, are being tight-lipped about the book’s contents, some Masons are preparing for an onslaught of negative press. And because Brown is known for tying religious themes to his thrillers’ plots, Masons are carefully addressing common misconceptions about their religious affiliations. Mark Koltko-Rivera - a Mason from New York City and author of the upcoming book Discovering the Lost Symbol , which tries to anticipate charges leveled in Brown’s novel - created a blog to discuss and interpret each Twitter clue. Based on those clues, Koltko-Rivera is convinced that Freemasons, particularly the Scottish Rite branch, “will take it in the chops.”
[...] One blogger explicitly warned readers about the “Dan Brown Effect” — the response that followed The Da Vinci Code by misinformed and sometimes gullible readers who take historical fiction as historical fact. The Da Vinci Code sold more than 80 million copies worldwide and stirred up controversy by suggesting a romantic relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, upsetting Christian groups and historians who argued against the plot’s historical and biblical inaccuracies. Whether Brown makes Masons the good guys or the villains, members of the brotherhood seem to agree that the attention could nonetheless pique people’s interest and lead to increased membership requests.

OBAMA'S NOMINEE FOR EEOC PROMOTES POLYGAMY
InsideCatholic.com - by Deal W. Hudson Article & YouTube: 10/20/09 President Barack Obama has nominated a Georgetown University law professor, Chai R. Feldblum, to the Equal Employment Opportunity Council. Feldblum, a lesbian activist lawyer, formerly worked for the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign Fund, and in the mid-1980s clerked for Justice Harry A. Blackmun, the author of Roe v. Wade. Feldblum faces Senate confirmation hearings before she can assume her post at the EEOC. The significance of her nomination for Catholics is underscored by the EEOC's recent ruling that Belmont Abbey, a Catholic college, must provide coverage for contraception in its insurance plans for employees.
Feldblum's record gives every indication that she would agree with this decision. She argued in a recent paper, "Moral Conflict and Liberty: Gay Rights and Religion," that "once a religious person or institution enters the stream of commerce by operating an enterprise such as a doctor's office, hospital, bookstore, hotel, treatment center, and so on, I believe the enterprise must adhere to a norm of nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity." ..
This is a project that the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation is funding me to do....I think we need the same effort with regard to Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender rights, using the weapons of 'moral values,' and I think this effort has to happen ... Isaias 14: How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations? 13 And thou saidst in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne ...

JURY GIVES FLDS MAN 33 YEARS
ReligionNewsBlog.com - December 19, 2009 - SAN ANGELO, Texas — ELDORADO — A Schleicher County jury has sentenced Allan Eugene Keate to 33 years in prison. The jury announced its sentencing decision at 9:50 p.m. Thursday.
The jury had retired at 4:45 p.m. to consider the punishment for the 57-year-old, having convicted him two days ago of sexually assaulting a child. [...] According to documents the state seized during the historic April 2008 raid, the victim had been previously “sealed” — committed to another man. Goodwin also highlighted that the age difference was 38 years.
She noted that, according to documents, the victim and Keate had gone before the prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Warren Jeffs, when the victim was unwilling to “get close” to Keate. Goodwin said the victim was told to hold hands with Keate on the way home and to have a talk.... He said Keate’s victim, 15 years old at the time of the assault, which occurred around April 2006, had been in a “celestial marriage” twice.
Celestial marriages are unofficial religious betrothals that FLDS members use to practice polygamy. Nichols said Keate had given away three of his daughters in marriage to older men. Two of those daughters were 15 and one was 14, and the last was given away to Warren Jeffs, then prophet of the FLDS who has been imprisoned for aiding in child rape by transporting a young girl across state lines.

BRITAIN DIED BUT NO ONE NOTICED
European Union Times: Europe on Dec 04, 2009 - “Some day, following the example of the United States of America, there will be a United States of Europe.” George Washington, First American President (1732 – 1799) December 1, 2009 has now become one of the most important dates in all of human history and stands in equality with 1492, when Western Europeans first discovered the Americas, 1517, when Martin Luther launched the Reformation, 1776, when the United States declared its independence, and other such historic moments which have seen the direction of our entire human race radically, and forever changed.
For on this historic date, what Rome had failed to do by conquest for nearly 1,000 years, what the great Frankish King Charlemagne nearly achieved in 800 A.D., and Adolf Hitler failed utterly to accomplish in the 1940’s, the people of Europe have now, and irrevocably, been joined together in a European Union that now makes them one of the most powerful Nations our World has ever known with a population of over 500 million and an economy producing over 30% of the World’s total gross domestic product.
And even though this most historic of dates has been virtually ignored by the American media, its government officials, and its peoples, the establishment of this European Union should strike fear into everyone of their hearts because what has been done to the once free peoples of Europe is soon to be done to the United States.

PRINCE WILLIAM TO ASSUME MORE OF THE QUEEN'S PUBLIC DUTIES
Prince William is to assume more public duties of the Queen as part of his training as a future King-in-waiting
By Andrew Pierce 13 December 2009 While Buckingham Palace continues to maintain that the Queen has no intention of slowing down details will be announced today of his trip to Australia and New Zealand – his first overseas visit on behalf of his grandmother. The change is outlined in a memorandum of understanding which has been prepared by the Treasury in conjunction with the Royal household. The document was so out of date it still referred to the public duties of Diana, Princess of Wales who died in 1997. Then memo relates to the decision of Mr Darling in the last Budget to give the Prince of Wales tax relief on the costs which he meets which have been incurred by his two sons in their official duties. The Budget decision, disclosed in the Daily Telegraph, was taken by the Chancellor in conjunction with the Queen and Prince of Wales. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/theroyalfamily/6803769/Prince-William-to-assume-more-of-the-Queens-public-duties.html

WHY ROYAL COURTIERS ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT PRINCE WILLIAM'S WEDDING
By Katie Nicholl - 15th November 2009 -
Prince William has yet to propose to Kate Middleton, but courtiers have already been briefed to start working on a Royal Wedding, potentially for 2012.
The Mail on Sunday has been told that a wedding is now being openly talked about at Buckingham Palace and early-stage talks are under way to dovetail William and Kate’s wedding with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Plans are well advanced for the Jubilee celebrations, although this is the first time there has been any suggestion of William and Kate marrying in the same year. Their closest friends have already placed bets on them announcing their engagement at the end of next year when William completes his course, but they have insisted that a wedding is unlikely any time in the immediate future. ‘Nothing is set in stone but 2012 is the date that is now being talked about,’ one royal insider told The Mail on Sunday.
‘The Queen has said she doesn’t want to be overburdened in the year of her jubilee. Having a Royal Wedding is the perfect compromise for keeping the limelight on the Royal Family but taking the pressure off the Monarch. ‘Whether William and Kate get married in 2012 or the year before, it will be the Queen who will throw them the most wonderful party and the line of thinking at the moment is that 2012 could be the perfect date. It would be the opportune time to put Britain and the Royal Family on the world stage.’ By 2012 William will have spent more than a year working as a search-and-rescue pilot with the RAF, a job he is said to be passionate about fulfilling. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ Read more:

BBC WRITES: TONY BLAIR MUST BE CHARGED WITH WAR CRIMES
December 14, 2009 Get Breaking News Alerts - CommentsTony Blair's stunning admission to the BBC that he would have invaded Iraq regardless of whether there had been Weapons of Mass Destruction revealed the true nature of the U.S -U.K military adventure in the Middle East. The ugly truth behind the political charade was that the decision to remove Saddam Hussein had been made behind closed doors before any evidence had been gathered. Blair told Fern Britton that if he had known there were no WMDs he would have still favored military force: "I would still have thought it right to remove him [Saddam Hussein]" he said. "I mean obviously you would have had to use and deploy different arguments about the nature of the threat." And that is exactly what Blair did, only it was after the invasion. Once the illusion that Saddam presented a serious threat to our security had vanished, the goal post was moved and the war was justified on the basis that Saddam was a bad man and had 'gassed his own people'. (Bush and Blair of course neglected to mention the fact that we supported Saddam during his worst years, and sold him the weapons he used to kill members of his own population).
Regardless, we now know that the war was not based on an external threat, but on the whims of Blair's personal feelings towards Saddam. And that means not only was the war illegal, but Blair criminally culpable for subverting the legal process and taking Britain to war without due cause. Article 51 of the U.N Charter states that countries may only use military force if they have been attacked ('the inherent right to self defense'), and Blair clearly violated that law when going to war with a nation that had not threatened the United Kingdom, or any of its neighbors for that matter. It is unlikely that anything will happen to Blair. The Iraq War Inquiry (the ongoing investigation led by Sir John Chilcot) was set up to thoroughly investigate the events that led up to the war in Iraq, but is ultimately futile since there are no lawyers or judges on the panel to ascertain whether it was illegal or not. If the investigation was done seriously, there is no doubt Blair would be found guilty of committing a war crime and sent to the Hague. It is a sad lesson that the law can only be applied to the weak, while the powerful live happily above it.

A WEAK DOLLAR WILL THREATEN U.S. SOVEREIGNTY AND PROSPERITY
By Tony Blankley - 02 December 2009 - Regularly reading the Financial Times (Britain's leading financial daily) can put an American in a fighting spirit. At least, it puts this American — transplanted former Englishman and naturalized American citizen that I am — in such a disposition. I have in mind, this time, an article in Monday's edition by Jeffrey Garten, titled "We must get ready for a weak-dollar world." The article makes two broad assessments: 1. "The two most significant structural consequences of the recent financial debacle are the massive deficits and debts of the U.S. and the shift of economic power from west to east. There is only one effective way for governments to address the combined impact of both: press for a sea change in currency relationships, especially a permanently and greatly weakened dollar." 2. "The issue is no longer whether the dollar is in long-term decline but which of two options will be taken. Should Washington and other capitals calmly and deliberately manage the transition to a new era, or, by default, should they let the market do it, with the risk of massive financial disturbances? Today, governments have a choice. Soon they may not." What I don't like about the article is that it is — from an American point of view — defeatist and that objectively, it may turn out to be true. But before contesting the latter point — that such decline is inevitable — it is vital to understand that a weak dollar driven by permanently excessive public debt directly threatens not only our prosperity but also our sovereign ability to protect our liberty in this heartless world.
There is no better evidence of such a possible American future than the event 53 years ago this month that tested British pretensions to greatness and independence — the Suez crisis of 1956. Briefly in 1956, when Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the British- and French-owned Suez Canal, Britain took understandable offense and organized its retaking.
Allied with Israel and France, Britain arranged for Israel to invade Sinai, after which Britain and France militarily intervened with the intent to have the world agree to let them continue to manage the canal. Unfortunately for Britain, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower disapproved of the effort. (He was up for re-election, and the Soviets had just invaded Hungary. Ike didn't like being surprised by America's closest ally, Britain, and he didn't want the Third World to see America as complicit with colonialism.)

IN VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION OBAMA TAKES ON CHAIRMANSHIP OF UN SECURITY COUNCIL
Right Soup - September 14, 2009 - Some unprecedented news today, folks. Never in the history of the United Nations has a U.S. President taken the chairmanship of the powerful UN Security Council. Perhaps it is because of what could arguably be a Constitutional prohibition against doing so. To wit: Section 9 of the Constitution says:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
Nonetheless, the rotating chairmanship of the council goes to the U.S. this month. The normal course of business would have U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice take the gavel. However, this time will be different. Constitution be damned, Barack Hussein Obama has decided to put HIMSELF in the drivers seat, and will preside over global nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament talks slated to begin September 24th. The Financial Times says: Barack Obama will cement the new co-operative relationship between the US and the United Nations this month when he becomes the first American president to chair its 15-member Security Council. The topic for the summit-level session of the council on September 24 is nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament – one of several global challenges that the US now wants to see addressed at a multinational level. UN officials also hope a climate change debate on September 22 will give fresh impetus to the search for a global climate deal at Copenhagen in December. There are also hopes a possible meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister, and Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority president, that Mr. Obama would host, could lead to a breakthrough about a timetable for Middle East peace.

FAILURE IN COPENHAGEN - GUNNING FULL THROTTLE INTO THE GREENHOUSE
An Editorial by Markus Becker in Copenhagen published in "Der Spiegel" December 19, 2009
The debacle of Copenhagen is also Barack Obama's debacle.
What a disaster. The climate summit in Copenhagen has failed because of the hardball politicking of the United States, China and several other countries -- and because people just can't seem to fathom how catastrophic climate change will be. They probably won't have long to wait before things become a bit clearer.
The global climate summit in Copenhagen has failed. There will be no concrete goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Industrialized countries extended no concrete offers of hope to developing countries. Newly industrializing countries, such as India and China, can continue to grow their economies without any checks and balances for the climate. In the run-up to the conference, scientists, environmentalists and politicians alike called it one of the most important in history. But now it's just a missed opportunity. Likewise, it might just be one of the last of its kind in the battle against climate change. It took governments from around the world 17 years to come together for this summit in Copenhagen -- 17 years of talking, seemingly endless negotiations, ideological debates, delays and maneuvering. It's been 17 years since the first climate-related meeting, held in Rio in 1992. It's been 17 years of searching for solutions to confront the threats resulting from climate change. And this is what we're left with. Many of the hopes that had been building up since 1992 have now been shattered....
Obama's Only Concession: In the end, the mini draft accord that about 30 leading countries agreed upon Friday evening only included the provision on the 2-degree mark -- without any concrete plans for the decades to come. Still, they only made non-binding commitments when it came to the limits that scientists have set as thresholds for preventing a climate catastrophe. Moreover, given the fiasco in Copenhagen, this 2-degree limit might no longer be kept. No wonder so many of the other of the 192 total countries almost immediately tore to shreds the compromise plan that the group of 30 countries presented in the main hall. Those countries that could face destruction as a result of climate change, in particular, could not see any solutions in it.
Now we are faced with the threat of an impasse in global climate politics. And the consequences of this holdup will primarily be felt by the poorest of the poor. Experts anticipate that they will be subjected to storms and flooding stronger than ever before. Their crops will wither. Melting glaciers might deprive several million people of their water supplies and deprive them of their livelihoods.

THE MOST POWERFUL ORGANIZATION IN THE UNITED STATES
World Changer - 10-18-9 - Though it may be the most powerful organization in the United States, few people know it even exists. But it has crept into our private lives. Even mortgage papers contain FEMA's name in small print if the property in question is near a flood plain. FEMA was deeply involved in the Los Angeles riots [1992] and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of the black helicopter traffic reported throughout the United States, but mainly in the West, California, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado, are flown by FEMA personnel. FEMA has been given responsibility for many new disasters including urban forest fires, home heating emergencies, refugee situations, urban riots, and emergency planning for nuclear and toxic incidents. In the West, it works in conjunction with the Sixth Army.
FEMA was created in a series of Executive Orders. A Presidential Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the Federal Registry. Congress is by-passed. Executive Order Number 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An "emergency czar" was appointed. FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies, the bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic. Executive Order Number 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry.
Here are just a few Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen: Continued: http://www.rense.com/general88/power.htm

OBAMA'S BIG SELLOUT
In “Obama’s Big Sellout”, Matt Taibbi argues that President Obama has packed his economic team with Wall Street insiders intent on turning the bailout into an all-out giveaway. Rather than keeping his progressive campaign advisers on board, Taibbi says Obama gave key economic positions in the White House to the very people who caused the economic crisis in the first place. Taibbi also points to the ties Obama’s appointees have to one main in particular: Bob Rubin, the former Goldman Sachs co-chairman who served as Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton.
Click above for Taibbi’s video breakdown of his argument in which he identifies the major players on Obama’s economic team, untangles the web that ties them to Rubin and points to how these relationships play into the financial “reforms” the Democrats are currently pushing through Congress.

US CRITICIZED FOR REJECTING CLIMATE REPARATIONS
December 12, 2009 - Democracy Now - Here in Copenhagen, the Obama administration is coming under criticism for refusing to acknowledge a climate debt to poorer countries suffering the brunt of global warming. This week US climate negotiator Todd Stern “categorically” rejected calls for climate reparations to developing countries. On Thursday, Bolivia climate negotiator Angélica Navarro responded in an address before the alternative summit Klimaforum.
Angélica Navarro: “Whatever amount of money you give me, it will never—and I repeat—it will never compensate a single glacier that will be lost in Bolivia, a single species that will be lost in one of our rainforests. This is not about money, because we are not beggars. We are just asking for reparation by developed countries so they pay us their debt.” http://www.democracynow.org/2009/12/11/headlines#1

HOW TO STOP A HEART ATTACK IN 3- SECONDS
By Madison Cavanaugh - Can an ordinary cooking condiment used in cooking spicy, hot dishes really stop a heart attack or stroke? These doctors say it can. Cayenne pepper (also called capsicum frutescens) is a red, hot chili pepper used primarily for flavoring dishes, but it has also been used for medical purposes for
centuries. This stimulating herb has been widely used all over the world to treat a variety of health conditions, including heart disease, poor circulation, weak digestion, chronic pain, sore throat, headaches and toothache, among others. Cayenne pepper derives its medicinal properties from a resin-like substance known as capsaicin. Capsaicin is an ingredient that has thermogenic properties, that is, it increases body temperature and is the greatest blood circulation stimulant known. It doesn’t cause palpitations, hyperactivity or an increase in blood pressure that most other stimulants cause. It also provides temporary
relief of pain, which is why it is used in pain-reducing topical preparations such as Capsazin-P, Zostrix-HP, Dolorac, R-Gel and others. Cayenne has steadily gained the reputation of being a wonder herb over the past few decades. Dr. Richard Schulze, a notable medical herbalist and naturopath, stated, “If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other.”
Perhaps the most important recognition that cayenne has gained in recent years has been its ability to stop a heart attack or stroke. Dr. Richard Anderson, author of “Cleanse & Purify Thyself,” reported that one of his fellow doctors rushed out into the parking lot to attend to a man who had died of a heart attack while parking his car. The doctor put cayenne tincture into the mouth of the man, and within a few minutes, the man’s heart started beating again.
According to Dr. John Christopher, pioneer of herbal medicine, “In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in--if they are still breathing--I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water), and within minutes they are up and around." Cayenne has been shown to stop heart attacks in as little as 30 seconds. Perhaps the most well-known anecdotal evidence of this involved a 90-year-old man in Oregon who had a massive heart attack. When the medics arrived at his home, he was pronounced dead. His daughter was able to administer cayenne extract into his mouth, and within a few minutes, he regained consciousness. Thereafter, he was rushed to the hospital, and while he was in a semi-conscious state, his daughter continued giving him the cayenne extract. By the time they arrived at the hospital, he had fully recovered and insisted that he be taken home so that he could mow his lawn! When the doctor asked the daughter what she had given him, and she told him it was cayenne, the doctor declared it was the closest thing to a miracle he had ever seen.
The capsaicin in cayenne pepper is unrivalled in its ability to boost circulation and increase heart action. It has a mechanism of action that has the extraordinary ability to enhance cardiovascular performance while
actually lowering blood pressure. Capsaicin has an energizing effect on the entire cardiovascular system.
Dr. Anderson believes that cayenne greatly strengthens the heart and could possibly even prevent heart attacks. He routinely carries capsules of cayenne with him in the car and whenever he goes hiking, mountain climbing or backpacking. “You never know when you may find someone having a heart attack,” he says. Other doctors, however, insist that cayenne capsules are not as effective as cayenne tinctures or cayenne powder in emergency situations, such as in the event of a heart attack or stroke. If a heart attack or stroke should occur and the person is conscious, it is suggested that 5 to 10 droppersfull of cayenne
pepper tincture (or 1 teaspoon of cayenne powder in a glass of hot water) be administered into the mouth, and repeated every 15 minutes until the crisis has passed.

CHIP IMPLANT CAUSED TERMINAL CANCER
Bob Boyce, who has invented a super-efficient electrolysis method, as well as a self-looping electrical circuit capable of charging batteries, discovered a microchip implant in his shoulder when having a tumor removed from that spot, which metastasized. It turns out the chip was made by VeriChip; and he has no idea how it got there.
by Sterling D. Allan - Pure Energy Systems News - Bob Boyce is a famous inventor in the world of ultra-efficient electrolysis and hydroxy research. The chip found in his shoulder at the point of tumor formation turns out to be manufactured by VeriChip. On Nov. 12, we reported that a South African experimenter has modified an electrolysis circuit developed by Bob Boyce so that now it recharges his daughter's electric vehicle riding toy. We said that what makes this remarkable is that the energy is not drawn from the wall but from the environment somehow; and that he's done this around 35 times now and knows of three replications of the effect by others. We created a feature page and a discussion list to facilitate additional replications and development of the technology. Continued: http://pesn.com/2009/11/28/9501591_Bob_Boyce_cancer_by_Verichip/

MINNESOTA UNIVERSITY OFFERS PLAN TO REEDUCATE TEACHERS NATIONWIDE
November 27, 2009 - By Bob Unruh - WorldNetDaily - University of Minnesota president Robert Bruininks
A program proposed at the University of Minnesota would result in required examinations of teacher candidates on "white privilege" as well as "remedial re-education" for those who hold the "wrong" views, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. The organization, which promotes civil liberties on the campuses of America's colleges and universities, has dispatched a letter to University of Minnesota President Robert Bruininks asking him to intervene to prevent the adoption of policies proposed in his College of Education and Human Development. "The university's general counsel should be asked to comment as soon as possible," said the letter from Adam Kissel, an officer with FIRE. "If the Race, Culture, Class, and Gender Task Group achieves its stated goals, the result will be political and ideological screening of applicants, remedial re-education for those with the 'wrong' views and values, [and] withholding of degrees from those upon whom the university's political re-education efforts proved ineffective." By any "nontotalitarian" standards, he wrote, the plans being made so far by the school are "severely unjust and impermissibly intrude into matters of individual conscience." Kissel wrote that it appears that the university "intends to redesign its admissions process so that it screens out people with the 'wrong' beliefs and values – those who either do not have sufficient 'cultural competence' or those who the college judges will not be able to be converted to the 'correct' beliefs and values even after remedial re-education."

PHOTONETDAILY - SIGN AT HOMELESS CAMP: 'WELCOME TO OBAMAVILLE'
'I've had 100 calls today and not a single 1 of them was negative'
December 12, 2009 - By Drew Zahn - WorldNetDaily -
Residents of Colorado Springs, Colo., have a mystery on their hands: Who came up with the idea to erect a sign reading "Welcome to Obamaville" on the site of a homeless tent camp in the city?
The sign, which was visible from the Cimarron Street ramp to Interstate 25, clearly conveyed a political jab at rising unemployment under President Barack Obama, for it read in full, "Welcome to Obamaville – Colorado's fastest growing community."
Tell lawmakers in Washington that if they insist on spending more, they'll join the ranks of the unemployed, too. For just $29.95 you can send an individualized notice to every member of Congress in the form of a "pink slip." Colorado television station KRDO first reported on the sign earlier this week, but without any identifying logos or clues to the sign's origin, the station launched a public appeal for information on the sign's author. KRDO got its first clue when Spencer Swann of Colorado Canyon Signs confessed to constructing the sign, though he denied it was his idea and still refuses to divulge for whom he built it. He did, however, explain that there was more to the sign's intent than criticizing the sitting president: "You mention his name, you get some attention – I think that was the whole idea behind it," Swann told KRDO. "I didn't dream it up, but I thought it was a good idea. I thought that it would help some of these guys down here." Continued: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=118827

EXCLUDED FROM THE COPENHAGEN AGENDA
Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) and Climate Change The manipulation of climate for military use Global Research, December 5, 2009 - "... World leaders are meeting in Copenhagen in December 2009 with a view to reaching an agreement on Global Warming. The debate on Climate Change focuses on the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions and measures to reduce manmade CO2 emissions under the Kyoto Protocol.
The underlying consensus is that greenhouse gas emissions constitute the sole cause of climate instability. Neither the governments nor the environmental action groups, have raised the issue of "weather warfare" or "environmental modification techniques (ENMOD)." for military use. Despite a vast body of scientific knowledge, the issue of climatic manipulations for military use has been excluded from the UN agenda on climate change.
John von Neumann noted at the height of the Cold War (1955), with tremendous foresight that:
"Intervention in atmospheric and climatic matters ....will unfold on a scale difficult to imagine at present... [T]his will merge each nation’s affairs with those of every other, more thoroughly than the threat of a nuclear or any other war would have done." (Quoted in Spencer Weart, Environmental Warfare: Climate Modification Schemes, Global Research, December 5, 20090
In 1977, an international Convention was ratified by the UN General Assembly which banned "military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects." (AP, 18 May 1977). Both the US and the Soviet Union were signatories to the Convention.
Guided by the interest of consolidating peace, ... and of saving mankind from the danger of using new means of warfare, (...) Recognizing that military ... use of such [environmental modification techniques] could have effects extremely harmful to human welfare, Desiring to prohibit effectively military ... use of environmental modification techniques in order to eliminate the dangers to mankind. ... and affirming their willingness to work towards the achievement of this objective, (...) Each State Party to this Convention undertakes not to engage in military ... use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects as the means of destruction, damage or injury to any other State Party. (Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques, United Nations, Geneva, May 18, 1977. Entered into force: 5 October 1978, see full text of Convention in Annex)
The Convention defined "'environmental modification techniques' as referring to any technique for changing--through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes--the dynamics, composition or structure of the earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere or of outer space." (Environmental Modification Ban Faithfully Observed, States Parties Declare, UN Chronicle, July, 1984, Vol. 21, p. 27).."

SHOCKING H1N1 SWINE FLUE VACCINE MISCARRIAGE STORIES FROM PREGNANT WOMEN
by Organic Health Nov 28th, 2009 - U.S. health authorities have made pregnant women one of the highest priority groups for getting the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, but is it actually safe for pregnant women and their babies? Well, the truth is that miscarriage reports from pregnant women who have taken the H1N1 swine flu vaccine are starting to pour in from all over the nation. Vaccines and pregnancy simply do not mix safely. In fact, the package inserts for the swine flu vaccines actually say that the safety of these vaccines for pregnant women has not been established.
What you are about to read below should shock and anger you. If they are telling us that the swine flu vaccine is not safe for children under 6 months of age, then why in the world would it be safe for pregnant women and their babies? That doesn't make an ounce of sense, does it?
The following H1N1 swine flu vaccine miscarriage horror stories are from a June 2010 birth club.....
EBWashington:
I am so upset. I was so excited to be pregnant after trying for a year. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I joined this birth club and I was due June 25th. We have two healthy boys with no history of miscarriage. Everything was going great. Last Monday, I got the H1N1 vaccine thimerosal reduced (mercury reduced for pregnant women). On Tuesday morning, I started cramping and on Wednesday I started bleeding heavily. My hcg was 50 on Wednesday and I was almost 6 weeks along so it was low. They still thought that I might be pregnant but on Friday my hcg was down to 22. I am an emotional wreck. I feel like I had a healthy baby and I caused this by getting the H1N1 vaccine. My doctors pushed it. I researched online and there have been many miscarriages after the H1N1 vaccine but they haven't been reported since it is hard to say what caused the miscarriages. I hope that I did not cause this. I wish everyone the best. Tayla08 - Continued included youtube:

H1N1 MOUNTING DEBILITIES AND DEATHS FROM H1N1 VACCINE
By: Susoni Date: 5-December 2009 - YOUTUBE ON THE PAGE: Jordan McFarland, a 14-year-old boy from Virginia, is weak and struggling to walk after coming down with a reported case of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) within hours after receiving the H1N1 vaccine for swine flu. McFarland left Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children in a wheelchair nearly a week after developing severe headaches, muscle spasms and weakness in his legs following a swine flu shot.
Jordan is among the first people in the U.S. to report developing the potentially life-threatening muscle disorder after receiving the H1N1 vaccine this fall. Increased cases of GBS were found in patients who received a 1976 swine flu vaccine. Likewise, a young woman in France has also been diagnosed with GBS after a swine flu shot. The woman, identified only as a health worker, was diagnosed with GBS six days after she received the swine flu shot, according to the French health ministry Swedish, Japanese, and Chinese health officials have also reported a number of serious side effects, including deaths of people who received the H1N1 vaccine. In China, the Ministry of Health announced that the two people, including one teacher from Hunan province, died hours after receiving their inoculations. Chinese health officials have pulled all vaccines manufactured in the same batch used to inoculate the teacher. Continued: http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=161957

VERICHIP'S MERGER WITH CREDIT MONITORING FIRM WORRIES PRIVACY ACTIVISTS
By Penn Bullock December 9, 2009 Identification, RFID - Threat Level Privacy, Crime and Security Online VeriChip’s Merger With Credit Monitoring Firm Worries Privacy Activists By Penn Bullock December 9, 2009 Identification, RFID Remember VeriChip, the Florida company that once dreamed of injecting its human-implantable RFID microchips in everyone from immigrant guest workers to prison inmates? We haven’t heard much from the company since a dipping stock price nearly got it delisted from the NASDAQ in March. But it’s still alive, and in November it pulled off a seemingly incongruous acquisition. Now called PositiveID, the new company is a merger between VeriChip and Steel Vault, the people behind NationalCreditReport.com. With a human-implantable microchip maker now running a credit-scoring and identity-theft-protection website, privacy activists are worried again. “The attraction to investors is the potential for synergies,” says Mark Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. “You have to anticipate over time there will be an attempt to integrate the services.” Continued: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/12/positive_id/

CZAR WARS
Holdren says Constitution backs compulsory abortion Argued in writings: 'Quality of life demands fewer people'
September 22, 2009 By Jerome R. Corsi - WorldNetDaily - Obama science czar John Holdren stated in a college textbook he co-authored that in conditions of emergency, compulsory abortion would be sustainable under the U.S. Constitution, even with Supreme Court review. WND has obtained a copy of "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment," published in 1977 and co-authored by Holdren with Malthusian population alarmist Paul R. Ehrlich and Ehrlich's wife, Anne. As WND reported, the authors argued involuntary birth-control measures, including forced sterilization, may be necessary and morally acceptable under extreme conditions, such as widespread famine brought about by "climate change."
To prevent ecological disasters, including "global warming," Holdren argued the U.S. Constitution would permit involuntary abortions, government-imposed sterilizations and laws limiting the number of children as steps justified under the banner of "sustainable well-being." 'Warming' result of too many people - A worldwide scientific agenda is emerging to link global population growth with global warming, arguing that climate change is such a severe crisis that the United States must participate in a United Nations mandate to implement global birth control in order to reduce carbon emissions.
Addressing the U.N. climate summit in New York yesterday, President Obama declared climate change resulting from global warming could leave future generations with an "irreversible catastrophe." Continued: http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=110720

A GIANT STEP FOR NANOTECHNOLOGY
Abstract:
The Australian research community will soon have access to one of the most powerful nanotechnology instruments in the world, able to write and etch data on particles ten thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair.
Australia - September 21st, 2009 - The electron beam lithography instrument is designed to write or mark nano-sized objects and has the capabilities of writing the novel War and Peace on a surface as small as a pin-head.
The multi-million dollar electron-beam lithography (EBL) tool will be unique in Australia and is capable of ultra-high resolution patterning at very high speeds and placement accuracy. It will be housed in the soon-to-be-completed Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN) located near Monash University's Clayton Campus and will be officially launched in March next year. MCN interim director Dr Abid Khan said the machine will help scientists and engineers develop the next generation of micro technology by giving them the ability to write and etch words and symbols on a range of surfaces to a size less than 10 nanometres.

EYE WITNESS REVEALS TRUTH (PENTAGON 9/11)
You have reached a website hosting a documentary with groundbreaking witness interviews proving the 9/11 official story false. There are many aspects of 9/11 but this movie focuses specifically on the events as they happened at the Pentagon. These first-hand eyewitness accounts were obtained by Citizen Investigation Team in a persistent effort to find the truth in light of a myriad of questions. We contacted as many of the previously published eyewitnesses we could obtain contact information for, and we canvassed the neighborhoods of Arlington Virginia on foot in a quest to find previously unknown witnesses. Our goal was to establish the final flight path of the plane before it reached the Pentagon as seen by the eyewitnesses.
The results are devastating as we now know for sure that the plane can not be what damaged the Pentagon.
We first present the “Smoking Gun Version” featuring quadruple corroborated testimony showing beyond a reasonable doubt that the plane flew on the north side of the CITGO station completely contradicting the official story. This simple fact makes it impossible for the plane to have toppled the light poles and damage the building as outlined in the "Building Performance Report" by the American Society of Civil Engineers. We will eventually release the “Researcher’s Edition” which will feature many more eyewitnesses and take a comprehensive look at the many other dubious circumstances surrounding the Pentagon attack. http://thepentacon.com/

THE CHIP IS AT THE TIP OF THE NEEDLE
Yesterday, 27 August 2009, I was giving an introductory talk about German New Medicine (GNM) near Vienna, Austria. . . as part of the discussion the swine flu was mentioned and a lady got up and declared. . . A friend of hers works for a pharmaceutical company in Vienna and told her that the swine flu injection needles indeed contain nano particles in their very tip, which cannot be detected with the naked eye but are clearly visible with as little as a 12X magnifying microscope like children's toy microscopes. The staff of the pharmaceutical company was advised that these nano particles work in the human body like a motherboard in the computer and lots of data can be stored on it. You can best understand what the intent is by what is NOT talked about. One may talk about the vaccination, but nobody mentions the chip implanting by name. That is really strange because the chipping is the obvious issue in the face of these massive governmental measures. And that the Hitachi chip http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200602/s1563544.htm works and can be combined with the death chip we already talked about during the last interview. . . It is also very strange that the US gov. has created this Marshall Law, under which critics can be easily removed by the thousands and millions. And once you have chipped the people they cannot run away from you anymore. . . It is obvious that this chip battle has been under preparation for many years. The idiotic swine flu, . . . with that they lied and constructed a worldwide pandemic into existence. But it goes to show what a well organised world press is able to achieve: They can turn a mole hill into a mountain.
It started with the AIDS lie, then followed the BSE lie. After the 9/11 lie followed the Anthrax lie. Then it was the Bird Flu lie, now it is the Swine Flu lie. Next year we'll have the Mice Flu lie. It all points to "the final solution". When everybody has a chip then that will constitute the complete slavery, then everybody can be manipulated and assassinated arbitrarily.

G20: GORDON BROWN ANNOUNCES EMERGING NEW WORLD ORDER
By Anders, Euromed - The Mail 3 April, 2009: The true story is that Gordon Brown seems to have corralled fellow leaders into perpetrating a gigantic collective fraud on world public opinion. On April 2 the G20 summit in London gathered the finance ministers and central bankers of 20 countries, including the seven major industrialised nations. The EU was represented by the Czech Republic. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank also participated. On this occasion Prime Minister Gordon Brown stated the emergence of “a New World Order”
4. We have today therefore pledged to do whatever is necessary to
• restore confidence, growth, and jobs;
• repair the financial system to restore lending;
• strengthen financial regulation to rebuild trust;
• fund and reform our international financial institutions to overcome this crisis and prevent future ones;
• promote global trade and investment and reject protectionism, to underpin prosperity; and
• build an inclusive, green, and sustainable recovery.
5. By acting together to fulfil these pledges we will bring the world economy out of recession and prevent a crisis like this from recurring in the future.
The agreements we have reached today, to treble resources available to the IMF to $750 billion, to support a new SDR allocation of $250 billion, to support at least $100 billion of additional lending by the Multilateral Development Banks, to ensure $250 billion of support for trade finance, and to use the additional resources from agreed IMF gold sales for concessional finance for the poorest countries, constitute an additional $1.1 trillion programme of support to restore credit, growth and jobs in the world economy. Together with the measures we have each taken nationally, this constitutes a global plan for recovery on an unprecedented scale.
6. We are undertaking an unprecedented and concerted fiscal expansion, which will save or create millions of jobs which would otherwise have been destroyed, and that will, by the end of next year, amount to $5 trillion, raise output by 4 per cent, and accelerate the transition to a green economy. …
7. Our central banks have also taken exceptional action. Interest rates have been cut aggressively in most countries, and our central banks have pledged to maintain expansionary policies for as long as needed and to use the full range of monetary policy instruments, including unconventional instruments, consistent with price stability.

FREE SPEECH U.S. VOTES FOR UN RESTRICTIONS ON FREE SPEECH
October 21st, 2009 - ONE MAN’s BLASPHEMY is ANOTHER MAN’s DISAGREEMENT
With billions of adherents, one would think that the world’s religions could take care of themselves. But the U.N. Human Rights Council sees it otherwise. As with most things political: one hand gives while the other hand takes away. Under the guise of protecting free speech, the HRC passed a resolution supporting free speech–except that part of free speech that attempts to criticize religion. From Just say no to blasphemy laws Continued:

JOURNALIST FILES CHARGES AGAINST WHO AND UN FOR BIOTERRORISM AND INTENT TO COMMIT MASS MURDER
June 25, 2009 by: Barbara L. Minton, citizen journalist - (NaturalNews) As the anticipated July release date for Baxter's A/H1N1 flu pandemic vaccine approaches, an Austrian investigative journalist is warning the world that the greatest crime in the history of humanity is underway. Jane Burgermeister has recently filed criminal charges with the FBI against the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), and several of the highest ranking government and corporate officials concerning bioterrorism and attempts to commit mass murder. She has also prepared an injunction against forced vaccination which is being filed in America. These actions follow her charges filed in April against Baxter AG and Avir Green Hills Biotechnology of Austria for producing contaminated bird flu vaccine, alleging this was a deliberate act to cause and profit from a pandemic.
Summary of claims and allegations filed with FBI in Austria on June 10, 2009 - In her charges, Burgermeister presents evidence of acts of bioterrorism that is in violation of U.S. law by a group operating within the U.S. under the direction of international bankers who control the Federal Reserve, as well as WHO, UN and NATO. This bioterrorism is for the purpose of carrying out a mass genocide against the U.S. population by use of a genetically engineered flu pandemic virus with the intent of causing death. This group has annexed high government offices in the U.S.
Specifically, evidence is presented that the defendants, Barack Obama, President of the U.S, David Nabarro, UN System Coordinator for Influenza, Margaret Chan, Director-General of WHO, Kathleen Sibelius, Secretary of Department of Health and Human Services, Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Department of Homeland Security, David de Rotschild, banker, David Rockefeller, banker, George Soros, banker, Werner Faymann, Chancellor of Austria, and Alois Stoger, Austrian Health Minister, among others, are part of this international corporate criminal syndicate which has developed, produced, stockpiled and employed biological weapons to eliminate the population of the U.S. and other countries for financial and political gain.
The charges contend that these defendants conspired with each other and others to devise, fund and participate in the final phase of the implementation of a covert international bioweapons program involving the pharmaceutical companies Baxter and Novartis. They did this by bioengineering and then releasing lethal biological agents, specifically the "bird flu" virus and the "swine flu virus" in order to have a pretext to implement a forced mass vaccination program which would be the means of administering a toxic biological agent to cause death and injury to the people of the U.S. This action is in direct violation of the Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act.

OBAMA POISED TO CEDE US SOVEREIGNTY CLAIMS BRITISH LORD
October 15, 2009 - The Minnesota Free Market Institute hosted an event at Bethel University in St. Paul on Wednesday evening. Keynote speaker Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, gave a scathing and lengthy presentation, complete with detailed charts, graphs, facts, and figures which culminated in the utter decimation of both the pop culture concept of global warming and the credible threat of any significant anthropomorphic climate change. http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/15816

BILL WOULD GIVE PRESIDENT EMERGENCY CONTROL OF INTERNET
CNET.news August 28, 2009 by Declan McCullagh - Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet. They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.
The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.
"I think the redraft, while improved, remains troubling due to its vagueness," said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which counts representatives of Verizon, Verisign, Nortel, and Carnegie Mellon University on its board. "It is unclear what authority Sen. Rockefeller thinks is necessary over the private sector. Unless this is clarified, we cannot properly analyze, let alone support the bill."
Representatives of other large Internet and telecommunications companies expressed concerns about the bill in a teleconference with Rockefeller's aides this week, but were not immediately available for interviews on Thursday. Continued: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10320096-38.html

SHELL WINS RIGHTS TO SOUTH IRAQ OIL FIELD
11 December 2009 NCR Handelsblad By our news staff - A consortium led by Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell has won the rights to develop one of the largest oil fields in the world in the south of Iraq. Mounir Bouaziz of Shell Upstream International drops his offer in a box during the bidding in Baghdad. Photo Reuters The 13 billion barrel Majnoon oil field in the south of Iraq was the largest on offer in Iraq's second international oil auction since the 2003 US invasion. The oil field will be developed together with Petronas from Malaysia. A consortium led by China National Petroleum Corporation, China's largest oil and gas producer, in cooperation with Petronas and France's Total, won the contract for the Halfaya oil field, also in the south.
The auction was a bit of a disappointment as contracts were signed for only two of the ten oil fields on offer. An earlier auction in July yielded only one contract. Oil companies are still reluctant to return to Iraq, from which they were expelled in 1972, when Saddam Hussain nationalised the oil industry. The security situation remains a serious concern: just this week 127 people were killed in suicide attacks in Baghdad. Elections in March next year could add to political strife in the country.
