  1. Paul Volcker and Zbigniew Brezinski both stated that American's standard of living has to be reduced, for globalization to succed. America's free trade agreements are not free. They are a form of collectivism, by distributing jobs to third world countries or also known as the 'race to the bottom.' America is just catching up with the problems the EU has been experiencing. France and Germany both told the people that they must accept lower wages and decreased benefits otherwise jobs would be shipped overseas. What was suggested to preserve jobs there? Lower the minimum wage. Along with our decreasing economy affecting the chain stores is the growth of internet shopping. One can get a better selection without having to drive around. Customers who have purchased the same object give their reviews and often save the individual headaches.
  2. Representative government, representing what?
  3. I doubt people will be flying or driving to Colorado to purchase this drug of choice when it is readily available anywhere. I do expect an increase of the number of people to vacation and camp there. Though John Denver's song was about his new age philosophy, the lyrics "Rocky mountain high" has acquired a new meaning.
  4. In this statement, Pope John Paul II sounds like a reading from a Club of Rome tract: "The earth is ultimately a common heritage, the fruits of which are for the benefit of all. In the words of the Vatican Council, "God destined the earth and all it contains for the use of every individual and all peoples" (Gaudium et Ses, 69). This has direct consequences for the problem at hand. It is manifestly unjust that a privileged few should continue to accumulate excess goods, squandering available resources, while masses of people are living in conditions of misery at the very lowest levels of subsistence. Today the dramatic threat of ecological breakdown is teaching us the extent to which greed and selfishness, both individual and collective, are contrary to the order of creation, an order that is characterized by mutual interdependence. ...The concepts of an ordered universe and a common heritage both point to the necessity of a more international coordinated approach to the manage ment of the earth's goods. In many cases, the effects of ecological problems transcend the borders of individual states; hence, their solution cannot be found solely on the national level. Recently there have been some promising steps toward such international action, yet existing mechanisms and bodies are clearly not adequate for the development of a comprehensive plan of action. Political obstacles, forms of exaggerated nationalism and economic interests- to mention only a few factors-impede international cooperation and long-term effective action."1 John Paul seems to have forgotten the warning of one of his predecessors, Pope Benedict XV, who in 1920 said: "The coming of a world government is longed for by all the worst and distorted elements. This state...would banish all national loyalties. In it, no acknowledgement would be made of the authority of a father over his children, or of God over human society. If these ideas are put into practice, there will inevitably follow an unheard reign of terror." 1 et. William R. Farmer, International Bible Commentary, (The Liturgical Press, Collegeville, Minnesota, 1998) 320. ISBN 0-8146-2454-5
  5. I live in a community where there are many Mormons and have had discussions with them stating the numerous errors and lies of the religion. No matter the mount of evidence, they just shine that stupid smile. The only conclusion I can draw from this is, to paraphrase Malcolm Muggeridge, at the end of the day, people believe lies not because they have to but because they want to.
  6. Many of my coworkers were joking that they are going to take the day off and have an end of the world party. Just in case it did happen. They did not want to spend their last day working.
  7. I know the errors and the arguments that have been taught concerning Daniel and the so-called three and a half years. The Prophetic Apocryphon, found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls, states that Satan;s short period, when he is unbound, may last as long as 49 years. the rule of Belial over them to hand them over to the sword, for a week of seven years ...on that Jubilee they shall be violating all My statutes and all My commandments which I did command them by the hand of My servants the prophets.1 1Michael Wise, Martin Abegg, Jr., & Edward Cook.

  8. After Israel captured the Temple Mount during the Six-Day War, they should have immediately destroyed the Al-Aqsa mosque and the silver dome. By then all anybody could have done was whine.
  9. At Amazon, if two employees are fighting and a third steps in the middle to split it up, that individual is also fired.
  10. Concerning the homosexual movement, author Wlliam F. Jasper writes: "In their 1989 best seller, After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90s, homosexual strategist Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen detailed the plans of this conspiracy. Kirk and Madsen explained how they and their allies in the major entertainment and news media would saturate society with gay news and entertainment to "desensitize" straights to homosexuality. After sufficient exposure, what had previously been thought intolerable would merit "no more than a shrug of the shoulders." At which point they said, the battle "is virtually won." The deviate duo outlined a plan for total war, utilizing "deception," "propaganda," and "emotional manipulation" to cast homosexuals sympathetically as moderates and virtuous victims, while opponents are painted as vicious, intolerable bigots.1 "If we do our jobs right," said James Andersen, GLSEN director of communications, "we're going to raise a generation of kids who don't believe the Religious Right."2 1William F.

  11. We are in a general state of decline. Globalization is the problem as far as economics go. Even Andrew Carnegie advocated protectionist measures to keep America's economy strong. TV has been the main impetus in the transculturation of America. The family unit is becoming a thing of the past. Revolutionary Antonio Gramsci, stresses the destruction of the family, organized religion, and the culture in order to sustain the new political order. Their mantra, destroy the culture, capture the state. Rudi Dutscke described the process as "the long march through the institutions+--the conquest of universities, schools, the news media, entertainment, churches and other religious bodies, and institutions. Michael Walzer in the Marxist journal Dissent was celebrating their successes against Western culture and pointed to the impact of feminism, gay rights, cultural pluralism, the change in family structure, rising divorce rates, changing sexual mores, abortion, successes in limiting gun rights, and the fading of Christianity from the public sphere.1 The last days have been ongoing since the time of the Messiah's first advent. Though many believe that the tribulation is just around the corner I do not expect the Messiahs second advent until the 2100s. From the Commentary on Habakkuk scroll: "For a prophecy testifies of a specific period; it speaks of that time and does not deceive' (2:3a). This means that the Last Days will be long, much longer than the prophets had said, for God's revelations are truly mysterious. If it tarries, be patient, it will surely come true and not be delayed."2 1William Norman Grigg, "A Method to the Madness: Behind the many maddening attacks on America's popular culture is Italian Communist theoretician Antonio Gramsci's strategy for achieving the total state," The New American, 23 October 2000 2Michael Wise, Martin Abegg, Jr., & Edward Cook, Dead Sea Scrolls: A New Translation, (San Francisco:Harper) 119.
  12. Article written by Richard Cohen Before the Jews of Hungary were emancipated in the 19th century, they were not permitted to own land. By the end of the century, they were on their way to owning fully one-fifth of Hungary's large estates and were hugely successful in business and the arts. The Jews of Germany had a similar history. They comprised many if not most, of the country's lawyers, doctors, composers, playwrights and scientists, and were so astonishingly successful in business that while they were just 1 percent of the population, they were 31 percent of the richest families. What did it? Was it nature (Jews were smarter) or nurture (Jews had a certain culture)? Here's my answer: I don't know. I do know, though, that if you eliminate what would certainly be condemned as a racist explanation--Jews as inherently smarter than non-Jews--then you are left with culture: There was something in the Jewish experience--1,000 or so years of persecution and being shunted into dishonorable occupations such as money lending--that prepared Europe's Jews for the onset of capitalism. Countless books have been written to explain this phenomenon, which continues to this day with Israel's intellectual domination of its region. In his new book, The Future of the Jews, Stuart E. Eizenstadt provides an example: "Between 1980 and 2000, 7,652 patents were registered by Israeli's in the United States." The figure for the entire Arab world? 367. The cultural difference between Israel and its Arab neighbors is so striking that you would think it beyond question. But when Mitt Romney attributed the gap between Israel's economic performance and the Palestinians'-- "Culture makes all the difference," he said in Israel--the roof came down on him. PC police the world over raised a red card, giving him demerits for having the temerity to notice the obvious. Predictably Saeb Erekat, chief Palestinian negotiator, denounced the statement as "racist." It was, of course, just the opposite. This hubbub about culture may seem esoteric, but it is really very important. The tendency to hold the Arab's blameless for their own culture is part of the predeliction to hold them harmless for the lack of peace agreement with Israel. The Israelis have much to account for, but they are not alone in this matter, and they are not the ones who have over and over rejected any peace plans. shorthand explanation of what ails Palestinian society--he might also have acknowledged Palestinian achievements--but he identified what are, indisputably, two problems. The first is that of culture. The second is the reluctance to discuss it. Romney could have been more diplomatic and eschewed shorthand explanation of what ails Palestinian society--he might also have acknowledged Palestinian achievements--but he identified what are, indisputably, two problems. The first is that of culture. The second is the reluctance to discuss it.
  13. My wife joined weight watchers and lost 58 lbs over a year and has kept it off. She no longers has problems with planter-fasciotous (sp). She does not have to take chloresterol medicine anymore. Since she has lost the wieght all her health isuues have gone away.
  14. I really believe the reason Romney was the Republican canditate is because he was suppose to lose. From the very first primary, which Michelle Bachman won, the press declared him the only candidate and slighted Michelle. The U.S. government has turned into an oligarchy; in which its representatives are chosen by economic interests. Romney never pushed Obama on his foreign policy. And who is President Obama's Foreign Policy advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, co-founder of the Trilateral Commission.
  15. If ever the Lawless One is to make his appearance his must seat himself in the temple and declare himself God. In the Toynbee-Ikeda Dialogue, "As troubles move on man, people will be "easier to lead..."1 and "a dictator with oustanding leadership ability may be necessary in the course of world unification. You expect to see the rise of a new world religion that will serve as a catalyst for the spiritual unity of all nations. To be sure, we need an integral system of religion or philosophy that will help to incorporate all nations into one body. The achievement of this religious or spiritual unity may require a personality capable of effective leadership. Even so, I do not think such a person should have political power; he must be a leader on the levels of religion and philosophy"2 On May 30, 2008, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair unveiled the Tony Blair Faith Foundation New York. Blair served ten years as Prime Minister to Britain. The foundations main goal is to get the world's religions to collaborate and assist in solving some of the world's most pressing social problems.3 The foundation expects to bring in a war chest of several hundred million. Said Michael Elliott, writing in his Time piece about the foundation, "In two long conversationswith Blair recently, I explored his conviction that religion matters--that it shapes what people believe and how they behave, that it is vital to understanding our world, that it can be used to improve the lot of humankind. But, if not engaged seriously, Blair thinks, faith can be used to induce ignorance, fear and a withdrawal of communities into mutually antagonistic spheres at just the time that globalization is breaking down barriers between peoples and nations. "Faith is part of our future," Blair says, "and faith and the values it brings with it are essential part of making globalization work. Blair and those working with him think religion is key to the global agenda." In 2008, Mr Blair was to be teaching on faith "a civilizing force in globalization," at Yale (the Home of the Skull and Bones Society). The globalist are preparing the way for the Lawless One. From the Oslo Peace Accords, Israel is to lose sovereignty over Jerusalem. The UN is to take over security of Jerusalem, while the Vatican has volunteered to be guardians of the holy sites. Though the Temple has yet to be rebuilt, the globalist are laying the groundwork for a place to seat the Lawless One. Pope John Paul II stated that the status of Jerusalem needs reviewing. John Paul called Jerusalem, "the central point, spiritual capital" of three monotheistic religions--Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Asked how the question of Jerusalem can be resolved, he said, "It's a difficult question....Of course, we cannot deny to Israel to be a state. But the problem of Jerusalem should be reviewed."4 The Vatican has repeatedly suggested that the holy sites be put under an international authority equally acceptable to Christians, Muslims and Jews. "This Lawless One will appear...by every seduction the wicked can devise for those destined for ruin because they have not opened their hearts to the truth in order to be saved." (2 Thess. 2:3) 1Toynbee-Ikeda Dialogue, 207 2Ibid 243 3Michael Elliot, "Tony Blair's Leap of Faith," Time, 9 June 2008, 33 4 "John Paul II urges review of Jerusalem's status," Reno Gazette Journal, 20 August 1985, 2(A)
  16. The homosexual movement is a global movement. Gay people do not reproduce. The UN recommends easy abortion, sex education and homosexuality to slow down the population tide. Choice is the button used to manipulate the populace but the goal is population reduction. Homosexuality is "good for nature" as stated in the Toynbee-Ikeda Dialogue.
  17. First, to explain whom he is not. Let us clarify the type of books Daniel and Revelation belong to. They are called apocalyptic writings and are not books of prophecy. The word comes from the Greek Apokalypsis, meaning revelation of divine mysteries," This style of Jewish literature was commonly written between 2nd century BC and 2nd century AD. There are other books of Jewish apocalypses, but deemed non-canonical.: the three books of Enoch, the Second Book of Esdras, the apocalypse of Baruch, and the Ascension of Isaiah. Found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls were the Christian apocalypses of Peter, and of Thomas, and the Shepher of Hermas Daniel was written during the time of Antiochus Epiphanes. The first 6 chapters are called similitudes. They are stories of Babylon and meant as examples for the Judaic church of 164 BC. The message is a kind of religious political tract. The message is not to abandon the faith in times of persecution. Those who die while serving the faith will get their rewards while those who do not persevere will land in the lake of fire. Daniel should never be applied to future prophecy except the Son of Man prophecy. Revelation's message is the same. There were two seperate writings of Revelation, merged to form the present book. The first apocalypse occurred in the time of Nero, and its writings comprise chapters 4-11, preceded by the introduction. During the apocalypse of Domitian (thirty years later) the rest of Revelation (chapter 12-22) were composed, tying it in with the previous version (chapter 12)and at the same time introducing the seven letters to the churches. Up to chapter 12:3 is the Roman empire of the seven headed, ten horned, seven diadem beast. Chapter 13-22 is the time of the seven headed, ten horned, ten diadem beast (13:1) Diadems were headbands worn by royalty symbolizing rule of their kingdoms; the circular band is a symbol of the kingdoms boundaries. By the time of Domitian, two of Rome's seven provinces split up and Rome gained another making ten provinces or ten diadems. Nero-Caesar in Hebrew is NRWN QSR, its value when gematria is applied N=50 R=200 W=6 N=50 Q=100 S=60 R=200 For a total of 666 He suffered a mortal wound to his head after commiting suicide by slicing his throat. Domitian brings about the same type of persecution that Nero inflicted on the church. He is a type of reincarnate evil that personified Nero. The false prophet is the Roman high priest. The dragon gives power and authority to the second beast to promote the first beast (emperor worship). The emperor of Rome possessed religious authority over the state, which was passed on to a priest (appointed by the emperor), and the priest was appointed for life. The priest was a state priest over all religions. Hence, the second beast, "used the authority of the first beast to promote its interests by making the world and all its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed." Sticking with the Roman myth that Nero would come back. I could make a further commentary on Revelation and Daniel but I will just leave with this abbreviated version otherwise I would be typing for hours and by then my internet service would drop me before I could complete it. The point I want to make is that the Lawless One is not the same individual in Revelation. He is a separate individual and the son of perdition. He will persecute gods church. The church will be tested and purified as gold is through fire and the dross will be eliminated. Christ will come on the last day. His angels will accompany him as rain pouring down on earth. They will gather the wicked first while the faithful that have survived will witness the annihilation. "Very soon there will be no wicked man, look where he was, he's not there." Psalm 37:10 Yeshua's people are the last to be gathered because, "...God wishing to show his wrath and make known his power, has endured with much patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction? This was to make known the riches of his glory to the vessels of mercy" Rom 9:22 "Human beings never welcome the news that someting they have long cherished is untrue: they almost always reply to that news by reviling its promugator." H. L. Mencken
  18. Just another storm. New York has been flooded before and will again. Washington also has previously received federal disaster aid and it was not the end.
  19. And the misunderstanding of Daniel and Revelation continues. If you do not know that it is Onias III in Daniel who is the anointed one; or that Nero in Revelation is the one whose Gematria number is 666, then any suppositions you have concerning prophecy are flawed.
  20. We'll we babyboomers are getting older and beginning to suffer debilitating ilnesses. When we die off the numbers will go down.
  21. They were never Christians.
  22. Beat them to the punch and blockade them. Now that would be a sanction.
  23. This is the biggest lie. The Republican appointees have dominated the court for decades at 7 to 2. It was Reagan who appointed Sandra Day O'Connor. She was the most liberal pro-abortionist judge appointed to the bench. She was the swing vote when Roe vs Wade was reviewed and the swing vote on partial birth abortion. It was a Republican appointee who was the swing vote for Obamacare. Nothing will change; no matter the outcome of this election. The globalist's fifth column, the Counsel on Foreign Relations, will continue to sell America down the river.
