The Fall of the United States

We are continuing to see the decline and the fall of the United States - something prophecy scholars have predicted for decades, based upon a literal view of prophecy and the striking omission of the U.S. in the descriptions of the Tribulation provided in Revelation 6-18.

We are watching this take place before our very eyes, and it is becoming more and more clear that this was a planned process.

First, we have more information on Agenda 21 and this draconian plan by the UN, which is unfortunately, being embraced by our current administration:

The Fascist Stealth of Agenda 21

I didn’t even know about Agenda 21 until a couple of months ago. Did you know it has been around since 1992? It is quietly and stealthily being implemented throughout the United States and the world. And within its scope is contained some oldie but goody concerns that I have held for some time: confiscation of public lands by the government (the Wilderness Project), EPA over-regulation, population distribution and control and the list just keeps getting longer and scarier…

Agenda 21 is a 40 chapter plan that lists a series of goals to be achieved globally. It is the global blueprint for changing the way we “live, eat, learn and communicate” because we must “save the earth.” Humans be damned.

Under Agenda 21, everything you can imagine would be heavily controlled by the government: water, electricity and transportation are just some of the areas of concentration that are targeted

This new way of living would usher in an uber-nanny state globally, the likes of which we have never dreamed of. Forget one-world government… Think one-world totalitarian regime.

What is even more interesting is how the MSM is hiding this process and how ignorant most Americans are regarding this epic loss of freedom.

So what exactly does Agenda 21 entail? It consists of 115 specific programs designed to facilitate, or to force, the transition to Sustainable Development. The objective, clearly enunciated by the leaders of the Earth Summit, is to bring about a change in the present system of independent nations. Agenda 21 is broken into 8 sections:

Agriculture
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management
Education
Energy and Housing
Population
Public Health
Resources and Recycling
Transportation, Sustainable Economic Development

And this:

Think this monstrously evil agenda isn’t progressing? Well, hold on to your hats, because Agenda 21 is moving ahead exponentially. On June 9th, 2011, President Obama signed his 86th executive order. From The Blaze:


President Obama’s E.O. 13575 is designed to begin taking control over almost all aspects of the lives of 16% of the American people. Why didn’t we notice it? Weinergate. In the middle of the Anthony Weiner scandal, as the press and most of the American people were distracted, President Obama created something called “The White House Rural Council” (WHRC).

Section 1. Policy. Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties. Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead. These communities supply our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural resources, and are essential in the development of science and innovation. Though rural communities face numerous challenges, they also present enormous economic potential. The Federal Government has an important role to play in order to expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands.

“Sustainable Rural Communities” are code words for the UN plan for Sustainable Development known as Agenda 21. This executive order shows that the government is planning to take full control of food, fiber and energy. They also intend to fully control economic growth, health care and education.

There is much more contained within this article and it is a worthwhile read.

At the same time, we have to recognize what is happening in Middle America - as the planned destruction of the heartland is now taking place. If you don't believe it, just read below:

The Purposeful Flooding of America's Heartland

Because of the environmental movement, the water in these dams was held until the last possible moment, then "mini-flooding" (my words) was forced so that it would mimic the "natural events" (aka "spring pulse") and human needs were ignored in this policy. Unfortunately, this year, rather than waters being released progressively in small amounts, because of the "environmentalist" mandates, the water was contained until it was too late.

Perhaps the environmentalists of the Corps grew tired of waiting decades to realize their dream of a "restored Missouri River." Perhaps these elements heard the warnings and saw in them an opportunity to force an immediate re-naturalization of the river via epic flood. At present, that is impossible to know, but to needlessly imperil the property, businesses, and lives of millions of people constitutes criminal negligence. Given the statements of Corps personnel, and the clear evidence of their mismanagement, the possibility that there is specific intent behind their failure to act must be investigated without delay.

And take a look at what is happening to these flooded areas:

Updated: Look Who's Buying Up Flood Ravaged Farm Land

1. File this one under “Now It All Makes Sense”. A Missouri farming and ranching contact just got off a conference call wherein he was informed that the federal government is sending out letters to all of the flooded out farmers in the Missouri River flood plain and bottoms notifying them that the Army Corps of Engineers will offer to BUY THEIR LAND.

And guess who is lurking behind the scenes on this one....

George Soros appears to be “investing” in farmground through the same puppet company that he used to get into the grain elevator and fertilizer business. The company is called Ospraie Capital Management and is buying up farmground in a joint venture with Teays River Investments as a partner. Here is that announcement:

Thats right. Once again, like always, whenever one sees hardships - whether financial, religious, land ownership (pick one) one typically finds George Soros lurking.

Okay. Here’s the connection. This Ospraie outfit was a hedge fund specializing in commodities

But it appears that Soros swooped in and saved the day because this Ospraie is the “co-investor” with Soros that bought the remnants of ConAgra’s trading operation and renamed it . . . Gavilon. In the industry, it is widely acknowledged that Ospraie IS Soros

As you probably remember, Gavilon just recently bought both DeBruce Grain out of Kansas City and the biggest grain elevator company in the Pacific Northwest, thus making Soros (who is the money behind Gavilon through both his own Soros Fund Management AND his de facto control of Ospraie) the third-largest grain company in the U.S. with 280 million bushels of storage capacity

Bottom line: Soros, through Ospraie, is buying up farmground. Please also note that the hotlink citation above is dated June 26, 2009. My contact says this has been going on for two years – and also remember what I told you about farmground prices inflating wildly, especially in Illinois.

At the same time, we see this - new coal regulations as imposed by the EPA - intended to shut down the coal industry:

Coal Regs Would Kill Jobs, Boost Energy Bills

Two new EPA pollution regulations will slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost, and electric rates will skyrocket 11 percent to over 23 percent, according to a new study based on government data.

“Many of these severe impacts would hit families living in states already facing serious economic challenges,” said Steve Miller, president of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity. “Because of these impacts, EPA should make major changes to the proposed regulations before they are finalized,” he said.

Overall, the rules aimed at making the air cleaner could cost the coal-fired power plant industry $180 billion, warns a trade group.

Obama Backs EPA War on Coal

It is no longer a secret that President Obama's administration is willing to allow electricity prices to "necessarily skyrocket," in order to accomplish his green energy agenda.

Although he has so far been unsuccessful at instituting cap-and-trade, Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is hard at work running coal companies and consumers into the ground. Not that you'd know it from ABC, NBC and CBS news coverage.

The Hill reported that the EPA is attempting to "impose new regulations aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants

American Electric Power (AEP) released its proposed compliance plan on June 9 for those "pending" EPA regulations. AEP, which is one of the largest U.S. utilities and delivers electricity to more than 5 million people, said that in order to comply with the new regulations they would need to retire 6,000 megawatts of coal-generated power in the next couple of years.

They would also have to shutter five plants (two in W.Va., two in Ohio and one in Va.) entirely and retrofit others, costing $6 billion to $8 billion. AEP also estimated a net loss of 600 power plant jobs, not including the ripple effect through the industry and affected communities.

With more than half the nation's electricity currently fueled by coal, the impact will be huge especially in the nation's heartland.

Julie Wern writing for the Chicago Tribune said that consumers in the 13 states serviced by the PJM Interconnection (which includes Illinois) could see their electric bills "jump an estimated 40 to 60 percent in the next few years."

Wern correctly identified pending EPA regulations that will make coal plants more expensive to run (and shut some plants down) as the cause for the potential rate hikes.

And last, we see this:

Shredding Freedom

But is has to be noted - that all of this has to happen as the Tribulation approaches. A strong and free United States is highly inconsistent with a world government, a world financial system and a world dictator. None of these things can take place with a U.S. which exists as our founding fathers planned.

What we are watching is the continual steps towards the Tribulation, and we must know that these things have to take place. Although disconcerting, we can trust that this is all part of God's plan, and one of the reasons that God has given us the prophetic scriptures - so that we could place our trust entirely in Him and rest in the comfort that He provides.

I believe what we are seeing today served as the basis of the scriptures given below, all in the context of the "gathering up" of the Church Saints:

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as you are doing"
(1 Thessalonians 5:11)

"Therefore encourage each other with these words"
(1 Thessalonians 4:18)

"When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is drawing near"
(Luke 21:28)

"Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near"
(Luke 21:31)

Jesus knew what we would be seeing in these last days, and He knew that these things would be disconcerting and alarming. But He wanted to give us peace in these days, with the promises that He will come for His bride.

Our faith needs to be strong now, as we see the approaching Tribulation. And as the apostle Paul knew, we would find strength, not only in the holy scriptures, but in each other - and our words of encouragement to each other - and our building up of each other.

And rather than looking at the things of this earth, Jesus wants us looking up - towards our destiny, which is not of this earth.

We will be home with Jesus soon. Its a promise.

Maranatha! He is coming soon!
