In The News






Today we have some miscellaneous news all of which point to the current status of this world, the approaching tyranny and movements towards the Tribulation. Also recall that the events of the Tribulation (the world reign of the antichrist) could not happen with a strong, free America. America has to either fall into being a non-factor or it has to be an America which concedes to the globalism that is rapidly approaching:











Glenn Beck pointed out last week that we, as a nation, are being ruled by 535 people in the Congress – 535 politicians are forcing 350 million into accepting Amnesty and the majority don’t want it. Why are we letting this happen? When will enough be enough and we stop the insanity? 

Essentially, they are erasing our borders and overwhelming our Republic with illegal aliens. It’s an invasion that is being invited in by treasonous individuals on both sides of the political aisle who stand to gain from the destruction of America, the plundering and redistribution of our resources, and the subjugation of the freest society the world has ever known. Why would they do it? The answer is as old as time itself: money and power.
In a clever plan that was communist in its inception and by its design, the Cloward and Piven Strategy has been used successfully in regards to Amnesty. David Horowitz of Discover the Networks defined it succinctly:
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
And that is exactly what Amnesty will do and in fact, is already doing here in America. Now, due to a loophole, a literal flood of so-called “asylum seekers” are surging across the border, overwhelming the border authorities


The U.S. Senate’s “Gang of Eight” immigration-reform plan, as well as a strikingly similar plan now being backed by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and a bi-partisan House “Gang,” both offer the “roadmap to citizenship” originally conceived and carefully developed by members of the Communist Party USA working within the Democratic Party and the radical left activist network for the purpose of using amnestied illegals to build a “permanent progressive majority.”
That is the inescapable conclusion readers will draw after reading the forthcoming book by acclaimed researcher and blogger Trevor Loudon, titled “The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress.” Although not yet published, Loudon agreed to allow WND readers to preview one chapter, titled “Latino Immigrants: Tools to Ensure a ‘Governing Coalition’ for the Left.”
In the book, Loudon exhaustively documents the Left’s longtime agenda regarding illegal aliens and how its activists have gone about implementing it. He provides irrefutable proof that the entire immigration-reform movement was the brainchild of American communists and that their goal has long been to establish unchallengeable political supremacy.
According to Loudon, the Communist Party USA has influenced U.S. policy toward illegals since at least the 1960s. He traces the history, showing how communists and communist-founded organizations slowly built the movement from the ground up. While other groups certainly joined the effort, the communists were always at the center.

Overloading the financial, regulatory and legal systems beyond the point of breaking. This will cause a collapse from within, allowing the Administration to reform the system controlling America — taking us from a Republic to a fascist state that will rock the world. It is bearing down on us like a Mexican freight train and not only are we not slowing or stopping it, our leaders are fueling the ride and pushing the engineer to throw on still more coal.

The communists and Progressives in America have been working towards this end for over 100 years and they believe victory is within sight. It is a ‘silent coup’ meant to catapult a select few into permanent power and they are very close to making it happen. I now hear that Amnesty has the votes to pass and if it does, that’s the end of the Republic as she was meant to be. Between Amnesty and Obamacare, America will be a de facto dictatorship and an iron-clad progressive/Marxist stronghold. Short of civil war, I don’t know how you undo that and war stands an excellent chance of making it even worse. But to do nothing is suicide and a betrayal, not only of our children, but all the freedoms that have been won for us throughout history with the lives and blood of our fallen heroes. It is unthinkable.



Go read the entire article and visit the links – it should chill you to the bone. I don’t think many Americans grasp what is about the happen to us and how it will affect them personally. Immigration will not exist — these people will come and go as they please and the North American Union will be born. America will be shredded with violence and poverty, the likes we have never known. Only the elite will have refuge (or at least, that is what they believe). I believe they have seriously underestimated Americans and their fighting spirit.
In the coming weeks we will see if the capsizing of the Republic takes hold and if the Cloward and Piven Strategy on the border is successful. G-d have mercy on the US if the Marxists get their way.









The entertainment industry is giving full voice to their criticism of the Russian anti-gay statute — as well they should. It is a horrid law that criminalizes behavior.
Too bad they can’t find the words to protest the treatment of women, Christians, and gays in Muslim countries.

With stars and activists using their high-profile platform to bring the issue to global attention, the gay rights crackdown in Russia has exploded into a hot-button controversy that is challenging Olympic leaders like no other since the protests over Tibet and human rights before the 2008 Games in Beijing.


President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and former Olympic athletes such as Greg Louganis have also denounced the law that prohibits the spread of “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” among minors.




Hundreds of millions of women, Christians, and gays are openly persecuted in Arab and other Muslim countries. Where’s this kind of outrage for them?
Fierstein — winner of Tony Awards for the play Torch Song Trilogy — wrote an op-ed piece in The New York Times last month saying Putin “has declared war on homosexuals” and calling on world leaders and the International Olympic Committee to demand the retraction of the laws under threat of a boycott.
“Mr. Putin’s campaign against lesbian, gay and bisexual people is one of distraction, a strategy of demonizing a minority for political gain straight from the Nazi playbook,” Fierstein wrote.
Fry, the British entertainer and activist, posted an open letter this week to Cameron and the IOC comparing Putin’s “barbaric, fascist law” to persecution of Jewish people in Nazi Germany.
The reason Hollywood leftists don’t protest against the cliterectomies, the lashings, the honor killings, and the executions is that in Arab countries, these are “cultural” issues. And given the cultural relativism to which most liberals subscribe, protesting Muslim treatment of gays, women, and Christians would be like saying that their culture is inferior — even savage and backwards.
But Russia is an easy target, ergo the “Nazi” references. The real problem for the Olympics is that the government may not enforce the law, but roving gangs of anti-gay Russians might take matters into their own hands and beat up anyone exhibiting openly gay behavior.
If the uproar continues, it may begin to affect TV sponsorships as companies pull their ads as a result of the controversy. Given the enormous amount of money that NBC has invested in carrying the games, it is in the network’s interest that the entire affair just go away.
Too bad the Olympics aren’t being held in a Muslim country.








[Note: This article is so interesting, so germane and so well done that I quoted almost the entire article, but it is worth reading once or twice in order to grasp where we are in the "road-paving" towards the Tribulation]



The utopian cloak is a patchwork quilt made of many pieces, but in this article I will focus on only two of them—secular millenarianism and materialism (scientism). I am indebted to Melanie Phillips and her book “The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle Over God, Truth, and Power” for valuable insights into these two areas (and several other areas as well). I can’t recommend the book highly enough.

Millenarianism is generally associated with the belief that the 2nd coming of Christ will usher in 1,000 years of perfect peace. Secular millenarianism can be described as the belief in a Godless perfect society—utopia. When utopia is your end, all means are considered legitimate. Melanie Phillips writes in her blog that:

All the totemic creeds of today’s ‘progressive’ classes—environmentalism, egalitarianism, multiculturalism, anti-Zionism and so on—are millenarian, in that they all posit in their different ways the perfection of the world (just like, in their time, the Inquisition, Stalinism and fascism).



Consequently, today’s militantly secular leftists display some astonishing similarities to both modern-day Islamists and medieval Christian fanatics. There is the same belief in the Revealed Truth—Revealed, that is, to them alone—from which no-one is permitted to dissent. Anyone who denies it is a heretic and has to be destroyed. Because the left believes it embodies virtue—on account of its desire to perfect the world—anyone who dissents or opposes it is evil. Because it is Manichean, all who are not left-wing are right-wing (even if they are in fact liberal). All who oppose the left are evil right-wingers who must be destroyed.
They are therefore in effect a modern secular Inquisition. They are in the same mold as the religious and political totalitarian tyrannies of the past…and they share the characteristic of a closed thought system which is totally impervious to reason and destroys all who challenge it.



If you have come to feel that the inmates are running the asylum, and have the nagging suspicion that you have been, and are being, lied to by your government,entertainment industry, “news” media, politicians, pundits, and darn near everybody else and their cousin, then take heart—you aren’t crazy, they are.


Their insanity is the end result of a long, Byzantine trail of intellectual and spiritual missteps that can be traced back to the Enlightenment and the reason-driventeachings of the philosophes, which in turn led to the philosophical rebuttal of the emotion-driven Romantic movement, and so on through numerous permutations on up to the present day. Connecting the dots between the various associated philosophies, movements, doctrines, and ideologies is no doubt a fascinating journey, but it is not one we shall be embarking on in this article.


Suffice it to say that through centuries of trial and error the left-wing intelligentsia have parlayed a hope-filled optimistic foundation of sanity, morality, Deism, and reason—into a grimamoralenviouspessimisticmisogynisticmisanthropicnihilisticGodless,senseless mess. No mean feat that. What was bad is now good, and what was good is now bad—this state of affairs is sometimes called the “Luciferian Inversion.”


[Sidebar: It is worth noting that although spiritual experiences can have a great intellectual and/or emotional impact, a true spiritual experience is not an intellectual or emotional construct.]
Be that as it may, it is important to realize that the current Liberal/Progressive agenda is not the result of some fearless search for truth, but the result of a slavish devotion to promoting a predetermined outcome (a collectivist utopia). Clever propaganda and duplicity are zombie collectivism’s stock in trade.


Probably the most infamous example of pseudo-science is the AGW scam, whose latest contribution to scientific knowledge is that “It is growing colder because it is growing warmer” (excuse me?). Personally I think the whole thing is rubbish, and cynical manipulation on a global scale. CO2 is a poison gas? Really? You might try telling that to the world’s vegetation, to whom it is a vital, life giving component.

Without CO2 the planet’s plant life would all die off in short order—and seeing as plants essentially breathe in CO2 and breathe out oxygen, and humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out CO2, what we have is a beautifully synchronistic relationship between animal and plant life that has survived much higher levels of CO2 than we are currently experiencing, or are due to experience in the foreseeable future.


But, as anyone who has bothered to research it knows, the AGW bugaboo is merely a stalking horse for global collectivism—something for the zombies to rally around. It was chiefly designed to force the more developed (industrial) nations into a more homogenized equality with the less developed nations. The global elites were poised to pocket trillions of dollars in the carbon tax extortion racket—they even had a stock exchange set up and ready to go (based in Chicago of all places…surprise, surprise)—but for whatever reason(s) they decided to pull the plug on that particular money winner, at least for the time being.


Liberals/Progressives will throw an instantaneous and vociferous hissy fit when anyone questions the validity of one of their “scientific” sacred cows. Try muttering “I’m not sure about this whole global warming thing” at the next “Kumbaya” sing-along you attend and you’ll see what I mean. What has so firmly shut the zombie mind to inquiry, curiosity, and honest exploration? Allow me to return to Ms. Phillips one last time:


Most fundamentally, they [i.e. liberal sacred cows] all involve the promotion of beliefs that purport to be unchallengeable truths but are in fact ideologies in which evidence is manipulated, twisted and distorted to support and “prove” their governing idea. All are therefore based on false or unsupported beliefs that are presented as axiomatically true. ...Reason is replaced by bullying, intimidation and the suppression of debate. This makes them all deeply regressive movements of thought.

A couple of things worth noting here: (1) people who have self-esteem issues and are unsure of the validity of a stance they have taken tend to be very defensive about it, and (2) people who are atheists or possess only a hazy, vague concept of God tend to be extremely protective of any position that their ego has adopted, because their ego is basically all they’ve got, and if their ego gets it wrong they’re screwed. Also worth noting is that someone can have serious self-esteem issues and still be very egotistical—in fact, more often than not they go hand in hand.

Alas, as rewarding as diving into the rich cornucopia of liberal mental pathology is, pursuing this line of thought would take us too far afield, so I hasten to get back on message.


As I mentioned previously, behind all of the hoopla surrounding global warming, sustainable development, Agenda 21, social justice, and the like is a vision of a New World Order, or global utopia. Behind that vision is a power grab by global elites to steal and subsume the wealth and influence of the world’s most productive nation states—and behind that power grab is the real battle being waged—between narcissism and spirit, or if you prefer, between God and Lucifer.

Reading those articles today produces an overwhelming sigh of frustration. Gulag Bound especially was troubling. It is disheartening that the Marxists were successful in commandeering the schools and the media in our country. Had those remained free and moral we would not be in this mess. Of course we also know God is in control and always works his good purposes even through the evil plans of man!

Come Lord Jesus!

WV - I hear ya all day on that, and I agree. BUT - (and its funny, because I had this exact same conversation earlier today) - we have to remember, we're living in Satan's world and his time to rule the earth through his surrogate is coming soon. We should fully expect to see evil descending around us as darkness engulfs the earth. We won't face the total darkness, but we'll see dusk. And that is what we are seeing now. The early darkness before the total darkness, if you will. Of course the marxists will win out (for now) - of course evil will appear to have 'won' during this time. Jesus warned us of all of this. As you say, God is in control and all of this is part of His overall divine plan.

I fully believe that this is the very reason that Jesus said when we see these things (all of which involve evil to some degree) - to look up for HIM. This has many implications. If we are focused and looking for HIM _ we can't simultaneously be focused on the evil that resides on this earth. Jesus knew the despair and unease we would face during these days, and He wants us to focus on Him and not this darkness.

He will be coming soon - its a lock - a promise - a guarantee.

Maranatha brother, hang in there - it won't be long now!

I'm still digging through the info and I want to be careful to not try and identify the AC, although we're clearly just speculating. ANd I believe that we won't ever have any more to go on other than speculation (although admittedly I do take an interest in this speculation) - but we'll never know for sure since we won't be here when he is 'declared' as AC based on Daniel 9:27.

The problem is - most of the information about him (excepting that one recent article) comes from '10-'12. Personally, if I had to rank candidates for AC, he would be reasonably high on the list, just because he possibly meets several of the criteria (attempts to form a 10-member nation-state Berlin Club, the fact that he has been pushing for an EU super-president, is Gay (assuming Daniel 11 does point to that, and there are differing points of view on that scripture) - and now, he is inserting himself into the peace process (which to me is pretty compelling).

It is also interesting that I posted on this about a year ago (link provided below) - and at that time I was focused on the formation of the 10-member "Berlin Club" (for lack of a better term) and the super-president thing. Somehow I missed the fact that a single individual (GW) was pushing all of this (btw, notice how quiet all that has become? My assumption is that these movements have gone underground). I'm surprised I missed that. But even going back t o that post - I noticed he was a prominent figure in all of those movements.

But I a in the process of compiling a bunch of articles and at some time in the near future I will most definitely post on this. I'm just doing some more research on this (believe it or not - a lot of thought, time and effort goes into these posts and sometimes I'll stew on information for a couple of weeks before posting :)

But again, many thanks for the heads up on this fascinating development.

Stephen said...

ok, back to business...

really really serious...

Scott I read your letter here...

and I really believe that he is the one, the AC....

could be wrong....

pretty dull 13 AUG....

the 14th is NEXT, and pressure
for an agreement is VERY HIGH..
since w/o one Israel will CONTINUE
to expand settlements BEYOND
BELIEF.....

and NO ONE in the Arab/Muslim
world wants that...

will there be an agreement in
the next few days ??

I do not know...

BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS that inside
of the stock market things are
REALLY starting to stink....

NH NL ratios, AD line falling apart
on UP days (like what just happenned this AM), another Hindenburg signal.......

and stocks are VERY CLOSE to a
full collapse.

which brings up the rapture question.

IF AN AGREEMENT happens by the
end of this week and Mr. Westerwelle CONFIRMS this, then
we KNOW the identity of this man.

period.

PLEASE DO NOT forget that if Israel
decides NOT to go thru with this
historic moment (14 AUG) with an
agreement then of course the cards
are laid out: FUNDING CUTS starting on 01 JAN 2014...

As PAUL has stated OVER and OVER
again in 2 THESS 2 this person
of evil and MAN OF SIN will be
working in secret until he is
revealed....ie.....

"the secret power of lawlessness"

that would explain, Scott, why you
missed parts of it all this time I think.

BUT ONE CAN MAKE THE CASE that if
this CREEP is about to reveal himself, it will NOT be such a secret anymore.....

BINGO

Stephen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Scott said...

Interesting point. I do believe that the AC will be working behind the scenes before he is revealed.

We shall see - lets watch this closely for any developments.

The good news is - if the AC is on the verge of being revealed, regardless of who it ends up being - means we're even closer to being 'gathered up' - which is music to my ears.
