END-TIME
CHURCH / PLURALISM
- GREETINGS
- -----
- "And this is love,
that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment,
That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in
it.
- For many deceivers are entered into the world,
who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This
is a deceiver and an antichrist.
- Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things
which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever
transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath
not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring
not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid
him God speed:
- For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker
of his evil deeds. (2 John
1:6-11)
|
|
-
- We believe the KJV Bible 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, Jude 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and
majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."
- Enjoy our labor of love, Cephas
Ministry / Library (1992)
- We appreciate all who contributed their
research to us to put this nwsletter together.
- For the updated files look for (red sparkles) in the main
index
- http://www.cephasministry.com/index2.html
- Cephas Ministry cordially invites you to subscribe
to our free newsletters for controversial Cephas News
Updates regarding the Church / Global Issues / Israel, edited
by Rita Williams at http://www.cephasministry.com/mail/
- Cephas Ministry advocates KJV Bible study only for truth
necessary to become part of the Bride of Christ. The Bible states
that it is the only truth available to us.
- MORE GREETINGS to all newcomers to this list. We'd like to
introduce ourselves. George and Rita Williams founded this ministry
in 1992. 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 Mormon cult.
- 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. Because all
the research was already done, we decided to build a library.
Our newsletters are not designed to provoke
anger which is strictly prohibited in Scripture. They are 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 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 translations 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.
Because of the workload newsletters are sporadic and uploaded
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.

- http://www.cephasministry.com/statement_of_faith.html
-
SCRIPTURE STUDY - The
Two Witnesses
- The two witness come on the scene in Jerusalem as soon as
the Antichrist "shall confirm the covenant with many for
one week:.." (Daniel 9:27).
- The two witnesses will be active in Jerusalem To identify
these witnesses the Bible states: "These are the two olive
trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the
earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of
their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will
hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
- These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the
days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them
to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as
they will.
- And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast
that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against
them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead
bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually
is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
- And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations
shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall
not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that
dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry,
and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets
tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
- And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from
God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great
fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice
from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended
up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them."
(Revelation 11:4-12)
- In Rev 11:4 There can be little doubt that there is an allusion
here to Zec 4:3,11,14,
though the imagery is in some respects changed. The prophet (Zec 4:2-3) saw in vision "a candlestick
all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps
thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which were upon
the top thereof; and two olive - trees by it, one upon the right
side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. "
These two "olive branches" were subsequently declared
(Zec 4:14) to be present with Jesus
when He was transfigured. (Matthew 17:2)
"the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole
earth." The olive-trees, or olive branches, (Zec 4:12,) appear in the vision of
the prophet to have been connected With the ever-burning lamp,
by golden pipes; and as the olive-tree produced the oil used
by the ancients in their lamps, these trees are represented as
furnishing a constant supply of oil through the golden pipes
to the candlestick, and thus they become emblematic of the supply
of grace to the church.Cont'd:

- DIVERS FIND CAESAR'S BUST THAT DATE TO 46 B.C.
Associated Press - C. CHARY May 13, 2008 - In this undated image
released by France's Culture Ministry a life size marble bust
of Julius Cesar is seen. PARIS - Divers trained in archaeology
discovered a marble bust of an aging Caesar in the Rhone River
that France's Culture Ministry said Tuesday could be the oldest
known. The life-sized bust showing the Roman ruler with wrinkles
and hollows in his face is tentatively dated to 46 B.C. Divers
uncovered the Caesar bust and a collection of other finds in
the Rhone near the town of Arles - founded by Caesar. Among other
items in the treasure trove of ancient objects is a 5.9 foot
marble statue of Neptune, dated to the first decade of the third
century after Christ. Two smaller statues, both in bronze and
measuring 27.5 inches each also were found, one of them, a satyr
with his hands tied behind his back, "doubtless" originated
in Hellenic Greece, the ministry said. "Some (of the discoveries)
are unique in Europe," Culture Minister Christine Albanel
said. The bust of Caesar is in a class by itself. "This
marble bust of the founder of the Roman city of Arles constitutes
the most ancient representation known today of Caesar,"
the ministry statement said, adding that it "undoubtedly"
dates to the creation of Arles in 46 B.C. Among other things,
researchers are trying to uncover "in what context these
statues were thrown into the river," said Michel L'Hour,
who heads the Department of Subaquatic Archaeological Research,
whose divers made the discovery between September and October
2007. The site "has barely been skimmed," L'Hour told
The Associated Press, adding that a new search operation will
begin this summer. He said the Arles region, in the Provence
region of southern France, with its Roman beginnings, and the
Rhone are "propitious" for discoveries. Albanel called
the find "exceptional" and said that the Caesar bust
is "the oldest representation known today" of the emperor.
Divers also found a huge marble statue of Neptune, dated from
the third century.

surroundings are extremely still. If symmetry is a sign
of splendor, then the newly discovered Red Square nebula is one
of the most beautiful objects in the universe. Seen in the infrared,
the nebula resembles a giant, glowing red box in the sky, with
a bright white inner core. A dying star called MWC 922 is located
at the systems center and spewing its innards from opposite
poles into space. (A nebula is an interstellar cloud of gas,
dust and plasma where stars can both emerge and die.) This
spectacular event is the death of a star, said study team

- THE REAL STATE OF THE OUR NATION
May 2008 - Nicholas Scrolls - Nicholas A. Stivers - Matthew 23:34
"Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men,
and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and
some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
them from city to city:"
Jesus gave the above warning to the people gathered in the temple
and admonished that all who failed to heed His warning would
be found guilty of all the righteous blood shed throughout time.
He finished His exhortation with a promise and a warning; Matthew
23:39 "For I say unto you, ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye shall say, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord." I plead with you all, do not be caught in "unbelief"
and don't kill the messengers who bring you life saving admonitions.
This is their calling and duty, to warn you of things to come
and give you remedy in order that you may overcome the forthcoming
adversity, which was promised. 1 Peter 4:17 "For the time
is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it
begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not
the gospel of God?" "So therefore brethren be no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints,
and of the household of God that are built upon the foundation
of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the
chief corner stone upon which you should stand," declares
the Spirit in me.
Watch for the signs that accompany the warnings.. Continued:

- MORMON CHURCH RECEIVED A NEW PRESIDENT 80 YEARS OLD
- The Guardian, UK - February. 4, 2008 - Eric Gorski - SALT
LAKE CITY (AP) - The new president and prophet of the Mormon
church is in some respects a throwback, an 80-year-old man with
a fondness for talking in parables and quoting Charles Dickens.
But Thomas S. Monson is also described as a student of a fast-changing
world and his faiths place in it. He oversaw the building
of a Mormon temple behind the Iron Curtain and was at ease visiting
the Roman Catholic cathedral in Salt Lake City, friends say.
Monson was named on Monday as the 16th president of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and immediately declared
the 13 million-member denomination would not veer significantly
from the course set by his predecessor, Gordon B. Hinckley, who
died Jan. 27 at age 97. He takes over at a time when the church
is undergoing rapid growth around the globe and coming under
close scrutiny because of Mormon Mitt Romneys campaign
for the White House. There will be no abrupt changes in
the courses weve been pursuing,' Monson said at an
introductory news conference. Although procedures and programs
may be adjusted from time to time, the doctrine is constant.'

- EX-PRIEST JAILED CRUCIFYING NUN IN EXORSISM
Telegraph, UK - Jan. 31, 2008 - Tom Chivers and agencies - A
former Romanian Orthodox priest has been jailed for seven years
for fatally crucifying a young nun during an exorcism.
Twenty-three-year-old Irina Cornici was bound and chained to
a cross before being starved and denied water for days. She died
of dehydration, exhaustion and suffocation. Ms Cornici believed
that the devil was talking to her, and had previously been treated
for schizophrenia. Daniel Corogeanu, the former priest, and four
nuns decided in 2005 to undertake the exorcism. Corogeanu was
convicted of murder and sentenced alongside the four nuns in
September 2007, but was freed while an appeal took place. Following
the appeals failure he was picked up by police in the remote
north-eastern part of the eastern European country. Upon arrest
he said he would serve his term if God willed it, according to
national news agency Rompres.

- ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY FUNNELED $1 BILLION A YEAR
New York Times, USA - February 8, 2008 - TULSA, Okla. (AP)
A former senior accountant at Oral Roberts University alleges
that more than $1 billion annually was inappropriately funneled
through the school. Trent Huddleston claims in a lawsuit filed
Thursday that he discovered an unrestricted'
account used to funnel unusually large' sums
of money through the university each month which would
exceed $1 billion on an annual basis that wasnt
used for any legitimate university purpose. University spokesman
Jeremy Burton dismissed any wrongdoing, saying the allegations
had no basis in fact.' John Tucker, an attorney
for the university, said the petition appeared to be grounded
in fantasy.'
- Huddleston, who was hired in 2006 and spent 15 months at
the school, said he was discharged because school officials feared
he would reveal that the account existed. Named as defendants
are Richard Roberts, the schools former president, and
his wife, Lindsay, along with former regents. Huddlestons
lawsuit, the latest to hit the scandal-plagued university, amended
a complaint he filed in late November against ORU. The initial
complaint alleged Huddleston was ordered to help Richard and
Lindsay Roberts cook the books' by hiding improper
and illegal financial wrongdoing from authorities and the public.Continued:

- ADOPTION OF ISLAMIC SHARIA LAW IN BRITAIN IS UNAVOIDABLE,
SAYS ARCHBISHOP
- Daily Mail, UK - February 7, 2008 - www.dailymail.co.uk -
Adoption of Islamic Sharia law in Britain is unavoidable, says
Archbishop of Canterbury.
The
Archbishop of Canterbury has today said that the adoption of
Islamic Sharia law in the UK is unavoidable and that
it would help maintain social cohesion. Rowan Williams told BBC
Radio 4s World at One that the UK has to face up
to the fact that some of its citizens do not relate to
the British legal system. He says that Muslims could choose to
have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia
court. He says Muslims should not have to choose between the
stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty.
- Dr Williams said there was a place for finding a constructive
accommodation in areas such as marriage - allowing Muslim
women to avoid western divorce proceedings. Continued:

SHARIA LAW ROW

February 2, 2008 - Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
has sparked a political storm by calling for aspects of Sharia
law to be adopted in Britain. Your View: Is Sharia law in Britain
unavoidable? Christopher Howse: Sharia is no law for Britain
Damian Thompson: Williams' authority is in tatters
Dr Williams said it "seems inevitable" that elements
of Islamic law, such as divorce proceedings, would be incorporated
into British law. Dr Williams backs adopting parts of Islamic
Sharia law Dr Williams said the UK had to "face up to the
fact" that some citizens do not relate to the British legal
system, and argued that officially sanctioning Sharia law would
improve community relations. "Nobody in their right mind
would want to see in this country the kind of inhumanity that
has sometimes been associated with the practice of the law in
some Islamic states," he told the BBC's World at One programme.

Doughty and Michael Seamark - www.dailymail.co.uk - The Archbishop
of Canterbury caused consternation yesterday by calling for Islamic
law to be recognised in Britain. He declared that Sharia and
Parliamentary law should be given equal legal status so the people
could choose which governs their lives. This raised the prospect
of Islamic courts in Britain with full legal powers to approve
polygamous marriages, grant easy divorce for men and prevent

and a lecture to lawyers were condemned at a time when government
ministers are striving to encourage integration and stop the
nation from sleepwalking to segregation. The Prime
Minister rapidly distanced himself from Dr Williamss view.

is that sharia law cannot be used as a justification for committing
breaches of English law, nor should the principles of sharia
law be included in a civil court for resolving contractual disputes.

POPE BENEDICT XVI TO BRING SEVEN EXTRA SINS TO D.C.
By Pier Paolo Cito/Associated Press - March 10, 2008 - It's fair
to say that Washington's Catholic community is currently up to
its eyeballs in Pope Fever, what with the pontiff's exclusive
April 17 mass at the new Nationals stadium only a little over
a month away. Turns out, Pope Benedict XVI will be bringing more
than the Popemobile with him to D.C. Bloomberg News reports that
today the Vatican has officially created seven brand new sins,
which will no doubt be the cornerstone of many of the Pope's
big upcoming masses. The new so-called "social sins"
are in addition to the familiar "deadly sins" that
that crazy dude in that movie used as a reason to kill Gwyneth
Paltrow. The new sins are:
- 1. 'Bioethical' violations such as birth control
2. 'Morally dubious' experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty
Just to clear up any confusion, the original sins, Pride, Envy,
Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed and Sloth, are still in effect.
We repeat, these new sins don't cancel out the old ones, so get
off your butt and quit lusting after your boss who you are so
envious of that you're stealing from the company and boasting
about it. And while you're at it, stop taking the Pill, smoking
weed, littering and conducting potentially lifesaving medical
research. Otherwise, you'll never get one of those coveted papal
mass tickets. http://dcist.com/2008/03/10/pope_to_bring_s.php

Benedict XVI. Following in the steps of his predecessor, Pope
John Paul II, who officially recognized modern day Jews as the

April 15-20, 2008, Pope Benedict met with representatives of

any thinking Sunday School student would easily refute. . . now
Pope Benedict recognizes their leadership since they are the
"Chosen People of God" and that the "Noahide Laws

By JIM KUHNHENN (AP Writer) AP - May 13, 2008 - WASHINGTON -
John Hagee, an influential Texas televangelist who endorsed John
McCain, apologized to Catholics Tuesday for his stinging criticism
of the Roman Catholic Church and for having "emphasized
the darkest chapters in the history of Catholic and Protestant
relations with the Jews." Hagee's support for McCain has
drawn cries of outrage from some Catholic leaders who have called
on McCain to reject Hagee's endorsement. The likely Republican
nominee has said he does not agree with some of Hagee's past
comments, but did not reject his support. In a letter to William
Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Civil and Religious
Rights, Hagee wrote: "Out of a desire to advance a greater
unity among Catholics and evangelicals in promoting the common
good, I want to express my deep regret for any comments that
Catholics have found hurtful." Donohue, one of Hagee's sharpest
critics, said he accepted the apology and planned to meet with
Hagee Thursday in New York. "I got what I wanted,"
Donohue said in an interview. "He's seen the light, as they
like to say. So for me it's over." Continued:

- HAREMS PAY OFF FOR MUSLIMS IN TORONTO
Toronto Sun, Canada - February 8, 2008 - Tom Godfrey - www.torontosun.com
- Hundreds of GTA [Greater Toronto Area] Muslim men in polygamous
marriages some with a harem of wives are receiving
welfare and social benefits for each of their spouses, thanks
to the city and province, Muslim leaders say. Mumtaz Ali, president
of the Canadian Society of Muslims, said wives in polygamous
marriages are recognized as spouses under the Ontario Family
Law Act, providing they were legally married under Muslim laws
abroad. Polygamy is a regular part of life for many Muslims,
Ali said yesterday. Ontario recognizes religious marriages
for Muslims and others.
- He estimates several hundred GTA husbands in
polygamous marriages are receiving benefits. Under Islamic law,
a Muslim man is permitted to have up to four spouses. However,
city and provincial officials said legally a welfare applicant
can claim only one spouse. Other adults living in the same household
can apply for welfare independently.
- The average recipient with a child can receive about $1,500
monthly, city officials said.
- FAMILY LAW ACT
- In addressing the issue of polygamous marriages, the preamble
to the Ontario Family Law Act states: In the definition
of spouse, a reference to marriage includes a marriage
that is actually or potentially polygamous, if it was celebrated
in a jurisdiction whose system of law recognizes it as valid.
R.S.O. 1990, c. F.3, s. 1 (2). There are many people
in the community who are taking advantage of this, Ali
said. This is a law and theres nothing wrong with
it. Immigration officials said yesterday that polygamous
marriages arent allowed in Canada, but that contradicts
the provincial law. Canada is a very liberal-minded country,
Ali said. Canada is way ahead of Britain in this respect.
He said Britain recently began permitting husbands to collect
benefits for each of their wives. The British government recently

- TWO IRANIAN SISTERS FACE BEING STONED TO DEATH AFTER GETTING
99 LASHES
- The Cape Times, France AFP - February. 5, 2008 - www.capetimes.co.za
- TEHRAN: Two Iranian sisters convicted of adultery face being
stoned to death after the supreme court upheld the death sentences
against them, their lawyer said yesterday. The two were found
guilty of adultery - a capital crime in Islamic Iran - after
the husband of one sister presented video evidence showing them
in the company of other men while he was away.
- Branch 23 of the supreme court has confirmed the stoning
sentence, said their lawyer, Jabbar Solati.
- Sharia The Sharia (Islamic law) specifies the obligatory
acts (fardh), the omission of which constitutes sin, and forbidden
acts (haram), the practice of which constitutes sins. Everything
else, not derived from these principles, are said to be permissable
(mubah). Throughout the world, Sharia has led - and still leads
- to human rights violations - including cruel and unusual punishments
(e.g. death penalty by stoning, hanging, or beheading. Amputations
of hands and/or feet. Public executions, and etcetera). Islamism
is an ideology in Islam that wants to use the Sharia to its full
extent, meaning that secular forms of governments and institutions
are considered foreign to a true Muslim society. By its very
nature, Islam makes it extremely difficult for Muslims to integrate.
Islam means submission, and the Quran makes it clear that Muslims
expect non-Muslims to submit to Islam.
- Research resources on Sharia The penal court of Tehran province
had already sentenced the sisters, identified only as Zohreh,
27, and Azar, to stoning, reports said. Solati explained that
the two sisters had initially been tried for illegal relations
and received 99 lashes. However, in a second trial they were
convicted of adultery. Continued:

CLUB SHOW
So-called Christian voice of America also soft-peddles big brother
surveillance society Paul Joseph Watson & Steve Watson |
November 18 2005 - Pat Robertson, the so-called voice of Christian
America, has again been caught 'El Diablo red handed' flashing
occult and satanic hand signals during his show. During Thursday
morning's 700 Club program Robertson could clearly be seen displaying
the El Diablo hand gesture towards the end of the broadcast.
To fans of UT football El Diablo simply means 'Hook 'em Horns'
but it is also used by Satanists as a form of communication.
The gesture represents the horned devil, also known as the sign
of Il Cornuto and Diabolicus and was fully embraced by modern
day Satanic cults. It is now seen as a trendy thing to do amongst
heavy metal and goth fans. They see it as a sign of rebellion
against the establishment, which couldn't be further from the
truth. Headlines were made last year during Bush's inauguration
when the President and his family repeatedly flashed the sign.
US media brushed aside the matter, saying it was in the context
of supporting UT Longhorns. However, Europeans were shocked and
interpreted the gesture as a salute to Satan. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2005/181105eldiablo.htm

- Transcendental Meditation: He was
the Sixth Beatle, a spiritual force with the potential to create
world peace and end famine. Or he was an avaricious old man with
a penchant for young girls who ruined the greatest pop group
in history
It rather depends on your point of view, but
one thing is certain about the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who died
this week aged somewhere between 91 and 97 - he was one of the
richest religious leaders in history. The giggling guru
- so called because of his high-pitched laugh - lived in an opulent
200-room mansion, with helicopters and dozens of cars at his
disposal, and was worth an estimated £2billion. He was
the head of a movement with five million followers worldwide,
all seeking a higher consciousness through transcendental meditation.
But while the Maharishi promised world peace, and cynics laughed
at his wacky teachings and yogic flying, sinister stories of
sex, debauchery, and even murder cast dark shadows over his life.
All but one of the Beatles cut their ties with their apparently
celibate guru after it emerged hed made a pass at Mia Farrow.
The Maharishis people, on the other hand, insist they simply
fell out when he discovered the band were using LSD. Later another
British disciple, Linda Pearce claimed the Maharishi had seduced
her when he was in his 60s. Continued: http://www.religionnewsblog.com/20558/maharishi-mahesh-yogi-3

Climate Change Bill and follows David Cameron's calls for a legal
limit on harmful carbon emissions. Charles will stop using royal
helicopters and private jets on official engagements whenever
possible. He intends to make more use of the royal train and
has ordered his chauffeurs to leave their cars behind and travel
by bicycle when they check arrangements ahead of his appointments
in London. Charles has also told aides to find a more environmentally
friendly fuel for his fleet of cars. He has even suggested commuting
to London on the train from Kemble station in Gloucestershire
instead of driving or going by helicopter. The Prince wants the
new system in place for him and Camilla by February. But it is
causing a headache for palace staff and some senior courtiers
fear his green plans could embarrass the Queen and other members
of the royal family who continue to use helicopters and jets.
Other senior palace figures have warned him that while they agree
with his bold plan in principle it could prove difficult to implement
logistically. They claim the security implications could also
prove difficult. It is understood that Charles's office at Clarence
House had planned to unveil the radical changes at a showpiece
media briefing but it was put on hold while aides try to smooth
over the " contradictions".Continued:

- LEGISLATURE REJECT 'BAN' IN MICROCHIP MEASURE - IN
OTHER WORDS EMPLOYERS MAY MICROCHIP IN SOUTH DAKOTA
January 30, 2008 2:44PM - Associated Press - Eds: NewsNow. PIERRE,
S.D. (AP) An effort to ban the potential practice of implanting
microchips in people has failed in the South Dakota Legislature.
State Rep. Tom Hackl of Hoven brought the measure. HB1141 would
have prohibited anyone from requiring another person to be implanted
with a microchip that contains personal data that can be read
with a special scanner. Legislators were told it would be an
invasion of privacy if people are forced to be implanted with
the chips. Hackl worries that employers could use the chips to
track workers during their off hours, and insurance companies
could require people to agree to the implants as a condition
of coverage. http://www.kxmb.com/News/203532.asp

Saudi Arabia Spotlight World News Gulf Times - 2008-02-06 - DUBAI:
Gulf states including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates

rates last week in step with the US to keep their links to the
dollar even as inflation accelerates. When Saudi Arabia left
rates unchanged after the Feds Sept. 18 reduction, the
riyal rose to a 20-year high. Its going to be very

- WHAT IF 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS VACATED AMERICA?
- Jan 6, 2008 5:09 PM - PB <xxxx@nwlink.com> taken from
the Rocky Mountain News, Denver Colorado - This will blow your
mind.......... Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain
News wrote a column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament"
-- 10/25/07. She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez
while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, "They (illegal
aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...What Happens to
your country's economy if 20 million people go away?" That's
a good question - it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans
demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what
would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers
may surprise you! In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens
moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to
spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun
prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested.
Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant
language again.
- In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000
kids and grand-kids - would move back 'home', mostly to Mexico.
That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts
say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical,
social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang
members would vanish out of Denver alone. Colorado would save
more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those
7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer
Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered
death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals. Denver
Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop-out/flunk-out
rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking
41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish
from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's four percent
unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain
jobs at a living wage. In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would
return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and
English. In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free
up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner
and more crime-free experience.
- If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home' -- If 20 million
illegal aliens returned 'home', the U.S. Economy would return
to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens
at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes
because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result
in an additional $401 Billion in IRS income taxes collected annually,
and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers. No more
push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. This file must have
been lifted from my computer because it is not on board anymore.

- CLAIMS OF ID FRAUD LEAD TO LARGEST RAID IN STATE HISTORY
By NIGEL DUARA, WILLIAM PETROSKI and GRANT SCHULTE REGISTER
STAFF WRITERS May 12, 2008 - Postville, Ia. - The largest
workplace raid in Iowa history Monday resulted in the arrest
of more than 300 people and reignited the debate over immigration.
As two law enforcement helicopters hovered overhead, dozens of
federal agents descended on Agriprocessors Inc., the nation's
largest kosher slaughterhouse.
- The 300 people arrested represent almost one-third of the
plant's 968 workers, and federal officials said the number of
arrests could increase. The number is three times as many as
were arrested in a raid 18 months ago at the Swift plant in Marshalltown.
Months in planning, Monday's raid involved 16 local, state and
federal agencies, led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE). They executed search warrants related to criminal activity,
as well as a civil search warrant for people believed to be in
the United States illegally.
- "This is the largest operation of its type ever in Iowa,"
said Matt M. Dummermuth, U.S. attorney for the Northern District.

- FEDS TRAIN CLERGY TO "QUELL DISSENT" DURING MARTIAL
LAW
Prison Planet - By Paul Joseph Watson - August 16, 2007 - A shocking
KSLA news report has confirmed the story we first broke last
year, that Clergy Response Teams are being trained by the federal
government to "quell dissent" and pacify citizens to
obey the government in the event of a declaration of martial
law. In May 2006, we exposed the existence of a nationwide FEMA
program which is training Pastors and other religious representatives
to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations
to "obey the government" in preparation for the implementation
of martial law, property and firearm seizures, mass vaccination
programs and forced relocation. A whistleblower who was secretly
enrolled into the program told us that the feds were clandestinely
recruiting religious leaders to help implement Homeland Security
directives in anticipation of a potential bio-terrorist attack,
any natural disaster or a nationally declared emergency. Continued

- GUILLOTINES IN AMERICA?
- Not too long ago, I received word that the information I
received regarding the guillotines was not only accurate, it
was actually being lobbied in Washington DC to get them legalized
for governmental use! The states I mentioned on my "current
events" page a few years back was in fact GEORGIA &
MONTANA as the recipients of these guillotines. The information
I had received was that 15, 000 or 30,000 guillotines had been
shipped to Georgia as well as Montana for safe keeping until
such a time as they are needed. (I don't recall the exact number.
It's been a while. However, I do believe it was 15,000 guillotines
for each storage facility.) If this is true, and if so, what
are they up to?
- Some of us that live down south may recall the video that
was "some how" released to the general public of a
man being electrocuted in a Georgia Prison facility. For those
of us that saw the movie, "The Green Mile," we know
that if you do not place water on the sponge upon the man's head
that is to die by electrocution, his death will not only be prolonged,
and extremely violent, his head will actually ignite during the
process. Not a very pleasant death to say the least. Fact is,
many are aware, state executions are NEVER video taped! However,
the tape of a man being electrocuted in Georgia did in fact somehow
surface some years back. Continued: http://remnantofgod.org/guillotines.htm

- MICROCHIPS EVERYWHERE A FUTURE VISION
- By TODD LEWAN - The Associated Press - January 26, 2008 --
Here's a vision of the not-so-distant future: Microchips with
antennas will be embedded in virtually everything you buy, wear,
drive and read, allowing retailers and law enforcement to track
consumer items and, by extension, consumers wherever they go,
from a distance. A seamless, global network of electronic "sniffers"
will scan radio tags in myriad public settings, identifying people
and their tastes instantly so that customized ads, "live
spam," may be beamed at them. In "Smart Homes,"
sensors built into walls, floors and appliances will inventory
possessions, record eating habits, monitor medicine cabinets
all the while, silently reporting data to marketers eager for
a peek into the occupants' private lives.
- Science fiction?
- In truth, much of the radio frequency identification technology
that enables objects and people to be tagged and tracked wirelessly
already exists _ and new and potentially intrusive uses of it
are being patented, perfected and deployed. Some of the world's
largest corporations are vested in the success of RFID technology,
which couples highly miniaturized computers with radio antennas
to broadcast information about sales and buyers to company databases.
Already, microchips are turning up in some computer printers,
car keys and tires, on shampoo bottles and department store clothing
tags. They're also in library books and "contactless"
payment cards (such as American Express' "Blue" and
ExxonMobil's "Speedpass.") ..FTI

- CHINESE EXPORTERS SHUN FLAGGING US DOLLAR IN FAVOR OF STRONGER
RIVALS
By Robin Kwong in Hong Kong - March 28 2008 02:00 - Rising numbers
of Chinese exporters are shunning the US dollar or devising ways
to offset the impact of the falling currency as they confront
rising labour and raw material costs at home.According to Alibaba.com,
the online company that matches Chinese suppliers with international
buyers, the vast majority of their almost 700,000 Chinese suppliers
no longer use dollars to settle non-US transactions in order
to minimise foreign exchange risk.
- "They are moving to euros, pounds, Australian dollars
or even quoting prices in renminbi," David Wei, chief executive,
told the Financial Times. Moreover, he added, prices quoted in
dollars were now often valid for just seven days compared with
the 30-60 days common previously. The dollar has long been the
currency of choice for Chinese and other exporters around the
world. However, the impact of its recent weakening has led exporters
to begin questioning its place as the de facto world currency.

- HOW DANGEROUS IS THE DOLLAR DROP?
By MichaelVail on Wed, 2006 - Neocons Our Government At Work
Spotlight World News Spiegel Online - Posted: Dec 12, 2006 -
Is an end of an era looming in the foreign exchange markets?
The dollar has been depreciating against the euro for weeks.
Currency experts and the German government don't yet see this
as cause for alarm. The US currency's role as a lead currency
isn't as important as it used to be, they say. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/JE10Dj05.html
CHRISTMAS ON WALL STREET CREDIT-BASED PROSPERITY.
AP Like most central bankers, Jean-Claude Trichet, the president
of the European Central Bank (ECB), has a penchant for cryptic
comments. Injecting a certain degree of incomprehensibility is
a signal to the professionals that he's competent. And when it
comes to laymen, industry jargon has the desired effect of generating
the necessary respect.
Last Thursday the public was treated to yet another example of
Trichet's convoluted speaking style. A number of risks, the ECB
president said, could jeopardize a generally favorable economic
outlook in the euro zone. They included, according to Trichet,
"concerns regarding possible uncontrolled developments triggered
by global economic imbalances." What Europe's most powerful
protector of the currency was actually saying was this: The gradual
decline of the dollar in the foreign currency markets in recent
weeks could pose a threat to the economy. What Trichet was also
trying to broadcast is that the ECB has recognized and is aware
of the threat.
- Nevertheless, the European Central Bank in Frankfurt again
increased its key interest rate on Thursday by a quarter percentage
point to 3.5 percent, which makes the euro more attractive to
international investors. The central bankers had no choice but
to take the step, having already announced their intentions weeks
ago. Experts have been predicting for some time that the dollar
would eventually go into a nosedive, and now that time seems
to have come. The US currency has lost five percent of its value
against the euro since late October, and 13 percent since the
beginning of the year. The euro is currently fluctuating around
a value of $1.33, which is only 3 cents away from its all-time
high in 2004. And yet Trichet's counterpart Ben Bernanke, the
chairman of the US Federal Reserve, has done nothing but look
on as the dollar plunges.
A sea
change appears to be taking place on the international financial
markets. For years, global capital flowed in only one direction,
with $2 billion going into the United States every day. Investors
viewed the world's largest economy not only as a bastion of stability,
but also as a place that promised the best deals, the most lucrative
returns and the highest growth rates. Continued:

- In a recent analysis conducted by Fitch Ratings of the documents

every file indicated some kind of fraud or misstatement of the
borrower's financial condition that was missed - or encouraged
- by lenders." Fraud encouraged by lenders? Why would they
do that? Because they got paid to originate the loans and pass

- AN OIL-ADDICTED EX-SUPERPOWER
By Michael T Klare - Nineteen years ago, the fall of the Berlin
Wall effectively eliminated the Soviet Union as the world's other
superpower. Yes, the USSR as a political entity stumbled on for
another two years, but it was clearly an ex-superpower from the
moment it lost control over its satellites in Eastern Europe.
Less than a month ago, the United States similarly lost its claim
to superpower status when a barrel of crude oil roared past US$110
on the international market, gasoline prices crossed the $3.50
threshold at American pumps, and diesel fuel topped $4. As was
true of the USSR following the dismantling of the Berlin Wall,
the US will no doubt continue to stumble on like the superpower
it once was; but as the nation's economy continues to be eviscerated
to pay for its daily oil fix, it, too, will be seen by increasing
numbers of savvy observers as an ex- ex-super powerr-in-the-making.
That the fall of the Berlin Wall spelled the erasure of the Soviet
Union's superpower status was obvious to international observers
at the time. After all, the USSR visibly ceased to exercise dominion
over an empire (and an associated military-industrial complex)
encompassing nearly half of Europe and much of Central Asia.
The relationship between rising oil prices and the obliteration
of America's superpower status is, however, hardly as self-evident.
So let's consider the connection.
Dry hole superpower - The fact is, America's wealth and power
has long rested on the abundance of cheap petroleum. The United
States was, for a long time, the world's leading producer of
oil, supplying its own needs while generating a healthy surplus
for export. Continued:

WAL-MART'S BIGGEST THREAT - RISING COSTS
By Emily Kaiser - Reuters - August 25, 2005 - CHICAGO (Reuters)
- Wal-Mart Stores Inc. faces a record-setting sex discrimination
case, media campaigns by two unions to spotlight its treatment
of workers, and persistent efforts by local groups to block new
stores. The confluence of these struggles -- which Wall Street
calls "headline risk" -- has weighed heavily on Wal-Mart's
stock. But analysts now say the biggest threat actually comes
from within: rising costs. Wal-Mart used a simple strategy to
become the world's biggest retailer -- buy low, sell low. Now
the Bentonville, Arkansas-based behemoth is grappling with rising
expenses in areas ranging from labor to gasoline, and earnings
are under pressure. Cost controls are critical for a company
that generated a slim profit of 3.7 cents per dollar of goods
sold in the recently completed second quarter -- nearly 1 cent
per dollar less than rival Target Corp.... [Ednote: Are you
ready? The reason for merging with Canada and Mexico and building
the Corriordors is right here. We won't have a choice about it
because most of us are dependent on Wal-Mart due to high cost
of gas. endofnote] Wal-Mart's success depends on getting
goods on shelves as cheaply as possible. Critics say this low-cost
obsession puts pressure on store managers to overwork employees,
and the retailer has been hit with dozens of lawsuits claiming
violations of wage-and-hour laws. Continued: http://wakeupwalmart.com/news/20050825-reut.html

- ON FEBRUARY 17, 2009 TELEVISION WILL EVOLVE
- In 273 days, 15 hours, 25 minutes, 29 secondsthe era of analog
broadcast television in the United States will end as the nation's
full power* television stations complete their transition to
an all-digital system. While this change will mark the end of
the traditional analog method of broadcasting over-the-air television,
it wont signal the end of free broadcast television, and
your favorite broadcast programs and local television stations
will still be available.
- If you currently receive analog television over the air or
via an antenna, youll need to take action to continue watching
your favorite stations. TVs accessing "pay" television
service such as cable or satellite aren't likely to be affected
by the switch. Continued:

- PRODUCT FRESH LEAFY GREENS AND AND FAMILY FARMS
Federal Regulations Would Harm Sustainable Farmers and Biodiversity
- We need your help in another battle to stop the slippery
slope toward a sterilized and industrialized food system that
threatens biodiversity and the very existence of family-scale
farms that grow food in a safe, healthy, and environmentally
sustainable way. In response to the E. coli 0157 outbreaks last
year in bagged spinach, the USDA is considering a change in the
federal regulations that could potentially require growers of
all fresh leafy green vegetables to follow specified guidelines
in the fields and during post-harvest handling. The federal rules
would be similar to the California guidelines that were set by
large-scale operations after the outbreaks. The guidelines include
growing practices that discourage biodiversity and sustainable/organic
farming practices, deplete soil fertility, and create sterile
fieldsmethods that have not been scientifically proven
to actually reduce E. coli 0157 bacteria but are certain to reduce
biodiversity, harm wildlife, and burden family-scale farms. Small-
and medium-scale farmers would. Continued:

- THE CELL PHONE "TOWER OF DOOM"
Orange mobile phone company agreed
to remove its cell phone mast -- dubbed the Tower of Doom
-- from the top of a five-story London apartment building after
seven of its residents got cancer.The cancer rate among those
living on the top floor, where residents from five of the eight
flats were affected, is 20 percent -- 10 times the national average.
- The mast, along with a second mast owned by Vodafone, was
put up in 1994. Since then, residents have battled cancer, headaches
and other health problems they say are caused by radiation from
the masts. Three residents have died from cancer, while another
four are still fighting the disease. The World Health Organization
and other agencies say there is no risk of radiation from cell
phone masts, so the companies had no legal obligation to remove
the masts. In August 2007, after a long legal battle, Orange
agreed to move the mast from the building -- to another area
near homes, a public library and a primary school. Vodafone has
no plans to remove their mast from the building, and is working
on securing a new long-term lease. Sources: This Is London August

- TEENAGE GIRL BECOMES 14TH PERSON TO HANG THEMSELVES IN INTERNET
SUICIDE CULT TOWN
Evening Standard, UK - Febryary. 6, 2008 - www.thisislondon.co.uk
- Another teenage girl is thought to have hanged herself in a
county already blighted by 13 suspected suicides over the past
year. The 19-year-old, named as Angie Fuller, was found at a
house in Nantymoel, Bridgend in South Wales in the early hours
of yesterday morning. She is the 14th person under 26 believed
to have committed suicide in the small town in just 12 months.
All the victims hanged themselves but police have ruled out that
the latest death is linked to the previous incidents. A South
Wales Ambulance Service spokeswoman said paramedics were called
to a property in Commercial Street at about 12.55am on Monday.
The teenager was unconscious and not breathing when they arrived.
She was later pronounced dead at the scene. The spokeswoman said:
We believe it was a hanging. Police said they are
not linking the death to other apparent suicides of young people
under the age of 26 in Bridgend, whose population is just 40,000.
A South Wales Police spokeswoman said: We can confirm the
sudden death of a 19-year-old woman in the Nantymoel area of
Bridgend at around 1am on Monday, February 4. Continued:

- GENETIC MUTATION MAKES BROWN EYES BLUE
- Origin of Blue Eyes (Genetics) - February 1, 2008 - Genetic
mutation makes those brown eyes blue - Scientists find that blue-eyed
individuals have a single, common ancestor. Carolyn Kaster /
AP file - How did actress Reese Witherspoon get those big
blue eyes? A team of scientists
has that blue eyes are linked to a genetic mutation that occurred
between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago. People with blue eyes have
a single, common ancestor, according to new research. A team
of scientists has tracked down a genetic
mutation that leads to blue eyes. The mutation occurred between
6,000 and 10,000 years ago, so before then, there were no blue
eyes. "Originally, we all had brown eyes," said Hans
Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine
at the University of Copenhagen. The mutation
affected the so-called OCA2 gene, which is involved in the production
of melanin,
the pigment that gives color to our hair, eyes and skin. "A
genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted
in the creation of a 'switch,' which literally 'turned off' the
ability to produce brown eyes," Eiberg said. Continued:

- OBAMA TO DISARM AMERICANS
- Obama has authored a bill (S. 2433, The Global Poverty Act),
where it is now in the Senate, to give the United Nations .7%
of our GNP to be used to feed hungry across the globe. In addition,
this will allow the United Nations to use ...Obama has authored
a bill (S. 2433, The Global Poverty Act), where it is now in
the Senate, to give the United Nations .7% of our GNP to be used
to feed hungry across the globe.
- In addition, this will allow the United Nations to use force
to disarm you, me, our parents, friends, and all gun owners.
Obama's bill S2433 would require the U.S. to initially direct
.7 percent of our GNP into the United Nations coffers for distribution
as they see fit, for "food" to third world nations.
Under earlier agreements this would evolve into a national tax
on the U.S. with the UN attempting to levy this on all first
world nations.
- http://www.iamthemilitia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75
- The U.N. would have the power to increase this rate of taxation.
- The U.S. would be required to surrender some of its sovereignty
over foreign aid by putting it under UN control. The bill would
force the U.S. to sign onto the U.N.'s Millennium Declaration,
which would commit us not only to "banning small arms and
light weapons" but also to adhere to the International Criminal
Court Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol. This is creeping internationalism
and none of the major news networks is talking about it. http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-s2433/show
- Senate to Vote on Obama-U.N. Global Tax Scheme
By Press Release: Jeff Mazzella (05/03/08)
- The United States Senate may vote any day on the stealth
imposition of what could amount to an $845 BILLION United
Nations style global tax on American citizens?
- It's called the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), and it is being
sponsored by none other than Senator Barack Obama.
- According to some conservative sources, this disastrous legislation
could eventually force U.S. taxpayers to fork over as much as
0.7 percent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product -- or $845,000,000,000.00
-- on welfare to third-world countries.
- Here's what Phyllis Schlafly, conservative activist and founder
of Eagle Forum, recently wrote: "Obama's costly, dangerous
and altogether bad bill (S. 2433), which could come up in the
Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act. It would commit
U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic Product
on foreign handouts..."
- Time is of the essence because Senator Joe Biden, the Chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee just issued a report
on the Global Poverty Act and it was placed on the Senate Legislative
Calendar on Thursday the 24th.
- That means that time is of the essence as this potentially
massive surrender of your hard-earned tax dollars to the third
world may be close to a vote.
- That's why we must act now... BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
- Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent and personalized
Blast Fax messages to President George W. Bush and each Member
of the Republican Leadership of the United States Senate.
- Let them know in no uncertain terms that you are watching
and you will not tolerate massive United Nations style giveaways
that are passed in the dark of night -- or in broad daylight
for that matter. Tell them that putting us on the road to
give billions to petty tyrants and dictators is NOT a solution
to poverty.
- This bill can come up for a vote at any time. Demand that
our conservative legislators do whatever it takes -- a filibuster
if necessary -- to stop this bill dead in its tracks.
