---------- Inspiration For the Week----------- Heaven On Our Minds

"Arise, and depart." Micah 2:10 -- The hour is approaching when the message will come to us, as it comes to all--"Arise, and go forth from the home in which thou hast dwelt, from the city in which thou hast done thy business, from thy family, from thy friends. Arise, and take thy last journey." And what know we of the journey? And what know we of the country to which we are bound? A little we have read thereof, and somewhat has been revealed to us by the Spirit; but how little do we know of the realms of the future! We know that there is a black and stormy river called "Death." God bids us cross it, promising to be with us.

And, after death, what cometh? What wonder-world will open upon our astonished sight? What scene of glory will be unfolded to our view? No traveler has ever returned to tell. But we know enough of the heavenly land to make us welcome our summons thither with joy and gladness. The journey of death may be dark, but we may go forth on it fearlessly, knowing that God is with us as we walk through the gloomy valley, and therefore we need fear no evil. We shall be departing from all we have known and loved here, but we shall be going to our Father's house--to our Father's home, where Jesus is--to that royal "city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." This shall be our last removal, to dwell for ever with Him we love, in the midst of His people, in the presence of God. Christian, meditate much on heaven, it will help thee to press on, and to forget the toil of the way. This vale of tears is but the pathway to the better country: this world of woe is but the stepping-stone to a world of bliss.

(C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions", A.W. Tozer CDROM Library)

"And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither." Revelation 11:12 -- Without considering these words in their prophetical connection, let us regard them as the invitation of our great Forerunner to His sanctified people. In due time there shall be heard "a great voice from heaven" to every believer, saying, "Come up hither." This should be to the saints the subject of joyful anticipation. Instead of dreading the time when we shall leave this world to go unto the Father, we should be panting for the hour of our emancipation. Our song should be--

We are not called down to the grave, but up to the skies. Our heaven-born spirits should long for their native air. Yet should the celestial summons be the object of patient waiting. Our God knows best when to bid us "Come up thither." We must not wish to antedate the period of our departure. I know that strong love will make us cry,

But patience must have her perfect work. God ordains with accurate wisdom the most fitting time for the redeemed to abide below. Surely, if there could be regrets in heaven, the saints might mourn that they did not live longer here to do more good. Oh, for more sheaves for my Lord's garner! more jewels for His crown! But how, unless there be more work? True, there is the other side of it, that, living so briefly, our sins are the fewer; but oh! when we are fully serving God, and He is giving us to scatter precious seed, and reap a hundredfold, we would even say it is well for us to abide where we are. Whether our Master shall say "go," or "stay," let us be equally well pleased so long as He indulges us with His presence.

(C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions", A.W. Tozer CDROM Library)

Let us review the many, many instances of "rumors of wars" officially issued since 9/11, to see how thoroughly End of the Age prophecy is being daily fulfilled! We shall conclude with recent examples to demonstrate the sharp increase in rhetoric that should cause us to be concerned that the planned time for these threats to materialize may be getting close at hand -- n1888.cfm

President Bush has taken note that the shield of the Lord Hutton report exonerating Blair for lying about Iraq's WMD has worked out so well he has chosen to name his own panel, headed by Illuminist Senator John McCain. This panel has been given 13 months to conclude, which means its conclusion will not be made public until after the November election! Can anyone spell "Whitewash"? (NOTE: This article will be posted early next week)

---------Bookstore Resources--------------

SPECIAL NOTE: We have felt burdened since the beginning of the Cutting Edge Bookstore to provide Fundamental Bible-study materials for two basic reasons: (1) Regular Christian bookstores are filled with compromising materials -- New Age Christianity, Liberal Christianity, Roman Catholic materials, and Apostate Christian materials; (2) Liberal and Apostate ideas have infiltrated some of even the best Churches today, resulting in so many members being ignorant of Scripture. Most people do not realize the extent to which they are Biblically illiterate. A missionary to Tibet was captured by the Communists in the late 1960's and tortured to the highest degree possible; he did not break under the torture because he meditated day and night on memorized Scripture and recalled the many Bible stories in the Old and New Testament. Too many Christians today do not know enough Bible to be able to feed upon this spiritual food to survive very hard times. Therefore, we shall continue introducing Fundamental Bible study materials and urgently encourage you to become thoroughly skilled in your understanding of Scripture. Most of this material will also be great gifts for that person on your prayer list for whom you are greatly concerned! To prepare for the planned World War III that will produce Antichrist, all Christians need to "study to show thyself approved, rightly dividing the Word of Truth".

* This Day In Baptist History II - 366-Day Devotions - Book - Did you know a Baptist preacher founded a college in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that became the University of Michigan? The Baptist heritage is one so glorious that we would greatly enrich our spiritual lives if we knew about those dedicated saints of old! Sadly, the history of the Baptists has largely been written out of religious and secular history books, even though the Baptist movement predated Martin Luther by centuries! Did you know Baptists are not Protestants?

With this daily devotional, you shall learn the glorious and bloodstained paths of our Baptist forefathers. As the Apostle Paul stated: "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith" [Heb 12:1-2]

We ARE encompassed about by "so great a cloud of witnesses". Learn about them daily through this great devotional! - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=676

* The Apostate Church - Audio Tape Set - What is spiritually and morally wrong with America? The enemies of God have targeted our churches, so why won’t Christian ministers band together to confront them? Why has the message and the music of the modern-day church changed? Are ministers preaching the Word of God, or are they more concerned about the number of people attending their church? The information contained in this four-tape set on the Apostate Church will challenge everything you believe because the enemies of God believe their work is almost finished. -- http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=675

* This Little Church Went To Market, by Pastor Gilley - In order to fill pews and build ever-larger churches, evangelical churches have succumbed to the modern humanistic approach as to how to preach and teach in such a way as to please people and get them to fill your church. This modern marketing approach is selling out the true church simply because it disobeys Scripture and replaces the role of the Holy Spirit with human philosophy and leaders that appeal to human sensibilities rather than to the Bible. The Christian church has grown cold, with Easy Believism, and a lack of proper focus. Pastor Gilley calls for these churches to return to Scriptural roots. "Return to the Old Paths", God implored Israel, and He is imploring us today. - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=340

* Manipulating The Christian Church Into Globalism - Video by Dr. Robert Klenck - Jesus foretold that, at the End of the Age, a church would arise that would look and sound religious, but would lack the power thereof! This is a synopsis of what the seeker-sensitive or Church Growth Movement (CGM) is all about. Anyone with spiritual "ears to hear" and "eyes to see" should avoid this Latter Day apostasy at all costs. - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=674

* Pictorial Guide to the Tabernacle - Resource Book by Dr. Tim Dowley - God ordered Abraham to create the original Tabernacle so that His Glory would be displayed. What was the purpose of the tabernacle? What did it look like? What is the relationship between the Tabernacle and the Temple? What finally happened to the Ark of the Covenant? These questions and more, are answered in this fascinating and detailed book. Color illustrations and photographs enhance this valuable resource. Since the Illuminati plans to rebuild Solomon's permanent Temple, Christians should become familiar with the many wonderful elements which God ordered Abraham to build into the original Tent Tabernacle. Many elements of this original Tabernacle was incorporated into Solomon's permanent Temple. - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=673

* The Stones Cry Out! - Study of Archaeological Discoveries of the Past 10 Years In Israel - Book - God is never left without a witness in any generation! In the past 100 years, archaeologists have carefully explored the Holy Land, relying upon precise readings of the Biblical account. Such methods have proven much of the historical record of God's Holy Word! However, archaeological discoveries of the past 10 years have also validated God's Bible, even though the Mass Media has been strangely silent on this issue.

Dr. Tom McCall and Zola Levitt provide a fascinating account of the discoveries unearthed in Israel and Jordan by archaeologists in the last decade. These discoveries help illuminate the Bible and validate its accuracy. However, much of this knowledge has been restricted to a limited number of scholars. Now it is available for the general public! Must reading for all believers! 111 pages. - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=672

---------- This Weeks Hot News ----------

I. "Intelligence Failures" stories abounded this week, including the report that President Bush has appointed a panel to "investigate" how our intelligence could have been so wrong about Iraq possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). In last week's newsletter, we noted that Great Britain's Prime Minister Blair had been so wonderfully exonerated by the "whitewashed" Lord Hutton inquiry that we would likely see President Bush taking the same track. After all, when Blair and Bush control the inquisitors, neither of them minds being "investigated", for they know the final outcome is predetermined! Both men also know that the average citizen is blind and deaf as to what is occurring around him, and will never realize that the "fix was in" before the commission ever began gathering evidence. Adolf Hitler understood the foibles of the average citizen and gave us a quote for the ages. Listen:

Let us now review the pertinent stories of "Intelligence Failure" from last week:

A. NEWS BRIEF: "McCain Picked for Iraq Intelligence Probe", Myway News, 2/5/2004.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush was expected to name Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, to a bipartisan commission that will investigate flaws in U.S. intelligence used to justify the Iraq war, Republican sources said on Thursday ... Claims that Iraq had stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction were the main reason cited by Bush for the war, in which more than 500 U.S. troops have died. McCain is a maverick who opposed Bush for the Republican presidential nomination in 2000 and is known for speaking his mind and taking on the administration. He broke party ranks to insist that Bush needed to have an independent commission look into prewar intelligence. He would lend a streak of independence to a commission that Democrats doubted would be non-partisan since its nine members are being picked by Bush rather than by Congress."

Once again, American citizens are expected to look no further than the surface in this story. To say that Senator McCain is a "maverick" and that he has "opposed Bush" in the past is an exercise in looking no further than the labels provided by the Illuminati. Remember the quote from Great Britain last week as lawmakers opposed to the Iraq war struggled to understand the reason Lord Hutton could have so unexpectedly exonerated Blair from lying to the people, when the evidence was so strong to the contrary. One lawmaker complained, "'The government did choose the referee'."

In last week's newsletter, we explained the tried-and-true ruse by which Illuminist leaders escape justice for what they have done, and by which they convince their constituency that they have done nothing wrong. President Clinton used this technique to perfection during the time he was Governor of Arkansas and President of the United States. He would set up an "inquiry" staffed with men he had appointed and knew well. From the very first day of the inquiry, the "fix was in"; Clinton knew he would be exonerated and he knew that a blind and deaf citizenry would accept that judgment from the "impartial, bipartisan" panel.

Is Senator John McCain such a man as this, who will listen to the evidence, seem highly critical of the President, but who will "exonerate" him when the time finally arrives for the conclusion? Of course, he is. When Senator McCain was running for the Republican nomination for President in 2000, he won the New Hampshire primary, and assembled his staff for a celebration. As his wife joined him at the podium, she was wearing a "Hillary" pin that was the Phoenix Bird of the ancient Egyptian Satanic Mysteries Religion. We reported this event in NEWS1354, and encourage you to read it, for it permanently labeled John McCain as an Illuminist of the highest degree.

Remember this fact about the Republican versus Democrat political system. Every campaign is nothing more, nor less, than an exercise in the Dialectic Struggle [NEWS1007] in which the Republican Party assumes the role of Thesis while the Democrat Party assumes the role of Antithesis. Thus, it has not mattered for a very long time whom you have elected, for both Republican and Democrat are equally committed to the New World Order agenda. Therefore, you have the spectacle of this President acting like a Liberal Democrat as he presides over the greatest growth in government bureaucracy and runaway spending in history! As the leader of the Thesis Party, President Bush also takes this country back into UNESCO [NEWSLETTER110103] and commits to spending $18 million for the morally deplorable National Endowment of the Arts [NEWSLETTER013104]! These are policies normally assigned to the Antithesis party, the Democrats; thus, when you see a Thesis Republican carrying out Antithesis Democrat policies, you realize the truth I have just spoken! It makes no difference which party is in power, as they are carrying out a mock political "struggle" in order to achieve a commonly held goal.

Once you understand these matters, current events make a whole lot more sense!

Now, let us return back to the issue of the bipartisan commission President Bush named last week. You will understand how much of a ploy -- especially an election ploy -- this commission truly is.

NEWS BRIEF: "Bush tells US commissions to report on failures after the election", The Scotsman, Sat 7 Feb 2004.

"THE US president, George Bush, yesterday named seven people who will sit on an independent commission to look into intelligence failures on Iraqi weapons and told it to report in 13 months time - four months after November’s presidential elections."

So, the President gives the commission a time frame of 13 months -- an occult number -- in which to complete their work. This time frame means that the President will not have to face any kind of grilling until the election is comfortably behind him! This ploy will ensure that the Democrat candidate will have a hard time making the lack of WMD in Iraq any kind of a campaign issue.

Before we leave this subject, let us examine the seven "independent" committee members whom President Bush named, for their associations carry rich information. For American politicians, the predominate Illuminist organizations are: Bilderbergers, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and Trilateral Commission (TC). Now, let us examine the members of this 7-member commission to see how many of them are a member of one or more of these Illuminist organizations.

Incredibly, five of the seven commission members are members of the CFR, while a sixth is the President of Yale University, and a seventh is a 1951 Yale graduate!

Now you know that this commission cannot possibly be either "independent" nor "impartial"! In fact, the "fix is in"!

II. Australian troops were told by one of their intelligence officers prior to the war that Saddam Hussein was incapable of launching WMD against them!

NEWS BRIEF: "Australia: Rudd slams Howard over weapons intelligence", ABC News Online, 7 February 2004, http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1040166.htm

"The Federal Opposition says new information provided by Australia's most experienced weapons inspector clearly shows the Prime Minister failed to tell the truth about Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction. In a newspaper interview today, weapons inspector Roger Hill says Australian troops were told in an official briefing days before entering Iraq that the country did not have the capability to launch weapons of mass destruction against its neighbors ... 'When you have a senior Australian weapons inspector saying to Australian troops on the eve of going to war in Iraq that Iraq has virtually no capability of launching an attack with weapons of mass destruction, you'd assume that information would find its way back to the political arm of government,' he said."

Now, this is hot news, indeed! Just before Australian troops committed to combat in Iraq, they were briefed by "Australia's most experienced weapons inspector", who told them they did not need to worry too much about being attacked by Iraqi WMD, for Iraq had no "capability to launch weapons of mass destruction against its neighbors". This statement is in direct opposition to what both Bush and Blair and the entire Western Media were saying before the invasion! We were led to believe that Iraq could launch its WMD missiles within 45 minutes! We were led to believe that Iraq had long-range theater missiles that could even hit Israel.

Clearly, we were lied to. Then, as if this news was not enough, our current CIA Director dropped a bombshell of his own last week.

NEWS BRIEF: "Blair under More Pressure after CIA 'Body Blow' ", The Scotsman, Friday, 6 Feb 2004.

"Tony Blair was today coming under increased pressure over the Iraq war, after the head of the CIA said Saddam Hussein posed “no imminent threat” in the months before last year’s invasion. George Tenet’s assessment was described as a “body blow to the Government’s case for war” by Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman Sir Menzies Campbell."

Did you catch that pertinent phrase?

"CIA said Saddam Hussein posed 'no imminent threat' in the months before last year’s invasion"

Evidence abounds that our political leaders -- Bush, Cheney, Powell -- clearly knew of the above assessment of the CIA, and yet, they poured stark warnings forth day after day, scaring us badly by telling tall tales about Iraq's WMD coupled with the brutality of the dictator! Had the American people known this CIA assessment, there is no way that President Bush could have led us into this war, and no way that his approval rating would have stood at the staggering figure of 71% [Fox News, "Poll: Steady Support for Action Against Iraq", March 13, 2003, carried on Daily News Updates March 14].

In our article to be posted next week on this subject, we shall post numerous evidences that both Bush and Blair knew the truth and yet told the lie.

We thank this unknown Australian weapons inspector for telling the truth to his men about to go into combat.

III. Retired Marine Corps General says Bush "conned us" into the Iraq war!

NEWS BRIEF: "Soldiers, Families Oppose Bush Casualties Mount After Saddam", by Kerry Taylor, War Times, carried in Daily News Updates, 2/3/2004

" 'The First Casualty of War Is Truth'. President Bush's war in Iraq faces growing opposition from those who are on the front lines: soldiers, their families and veterans, including high-ranking officers. A bipartisan poll published by Business Week in December showed approval for the president at a mere 36 percent among soldiers, their families and veterans. 'I think the American people were conned into this [war],' said retired Marine Corps Gen. Anthony Zinni, a Bush supporter in 2000. Zinni, who was chief of U.S. operations in the Middle East until three years ago, also charged the administration with failing to plan an occupation that would rebuild Iraq, provide internal stability and advance democracy."

To fully comprehend the significance of General Zinni's statement, you have to understand Pentagon promotion practices. No one ever gets promoted above Full-Bird Colonel unless they are fully supportive of the New World Order agenda and are fully conversant with the plan. Therefore, General Zinni is a trusted Illuminist. This reality is further buttressed when you remember that he was President Bush's special envoy to Israel during the first two years of Bush's presidency. Time and time again, Zinni would come to Israel at a moment of crisis, to try to diffuse the threatening situation and to move the parties toward peace. Thus, General Zinni is a trusted ally of President Bush.

Therefore, it is highly significant when one Illuminist begins to criticize another, especially when the 2004 Presidential Election is starting to get seriously underway. When you see this occurring, you know you are looking at a particularly interesting outworking of the script. We have stated before that it is possible that the script calls for bringing President Bush down over this Iraq issue. As we stated in NEWS1854, the United Nations' buildup as the only sovereign power in the world would be severely undermined -- possibly fatally so -- if President Bush's invasion of Iraq is successful, with little downside. Therefore, since the Illuminati deliberately started, and fought, two world wars in order to establish the United Nations as the only sovereign government on earth, their credibility would be terribly undercut if Bush's exercise as the National Sovereign of the United States is successful.

Therefore, the script must call for his effort to be unsuccessful. Certainly, his false claims that Saddam posed such a wild threat against us by his (non-existent) Weapons of Mass Destruction would undermine him, and might do so even if the final conclusion exonerates him! During the campaign, this commission will be calling witnesses and releasing reports, so the issue might be kept in front of the voters quite extensively.

Once again, we can only watch and wait to see how this will develop.

IV. Senator John Kerry surged into the lead of the Democrat race for President, thus seemingly setting up a Bonesman versus Bonesman in this Fall's Presidential Campaign!

During this past week, Senator Kerry won in enough states that his campaign took on a life of its own. In fact, Kerry is now being increasingly spoken of as the "front-runner" with a strong implication that his nomination is now getting close to being inevitable. Let us view some of the news reports.

NEWS BRIEF: "Kerry Wins 5 States; Clark Wins Oklahoma", Myway News, 2/4/2004.

"John Kerry established his national appeal to Democrats with commanding victories in far-flung presidential nomination contests from Arizona to Delaware ... Kerry easily prevailed in five states among the seven voting Tuesday in primaries and caucuses, piling delegates into his column and making it ever harder for his rivals to see any way to stop him ... there was no denying Kerry the "Big Mo," as Clark put it ... The results pushed Kerry to just over 200 of the 2,162 delegates needed for the nomination, including the super delegates of lawmakers and party traditionalists ... Kerry demonstrated his strength across the range of Democratic voters, winning big among Hispanics in Arizona and all racial and income groups in Missouri, where he piled up a nearly 2-to-1 win over his nearest rival ... Kerry is racking up endorsements as well as delegates. The 1.2 million-member American Federation of Teachers, the country's second largest teachers' union, planned to come out for Kerry on Wednesday."

With wins like this, any candidacy is going to begin taking on the aura of invincibility and inevitability. Certain, that seemed to be the developing trend for Senator Kerry, that Ultra-Liberal Democrat from Massachusetts and kindred soul-spirit of Senator Edward Kennedy. Polls suddenly began appearing, showing that Kerry could beat President Bush. Let us now review a recent article to see how the sense of inevitability is being showered upon the Kerry candidacy.

NEWS BRIEF: "Kerry Counting on Big Weekend", Fox News, 2/7/2004, carried on Daily News Updates for 2/7.

"In advance of a weekend in which three states will weigh in on the question of who should run against President Bush, the contest's front-runner picked up a key endorsement while his two main rivals took aim at each other. By all indications, John Kerry had a dominating lead over his Democratic rivals in Michigan, Maine and Washington state. On Friday, former rival Dick Gephardt endorsed the Massachusetts senator — a big win for Kerry in clearing the way toward his party's nomination ... Recent public opinion surveys also suggest that Kerry has the best chance of defeating Bush, although the president still comes out on top. A new Fox News poll found that Bush beats Kerry by four percentage points. A month ago, the spread was 22 points — Bush had 54 percent to Kerry's 32 percent."

However, the key thing to remember is that Senator John Kerry is Skull & Bones adept of 1966, while President Bush is an adept of 1968 ("Fleshing Out Skull & Bones", Antony Sutton, Kris Millegin, Howard Altman, Anton Chaitkin and Webster Griffin Tarpley, 2003.) Thus, if Kerry wins the Democrat nomination, we will have absolutely no choice for whom we vote, as it will be Illuminist Bonesman versus Illuminist Bonesman. For those of you who will not believe unless you hear a confession from the lips of Senator Kerry, listen to the following audio.

"John Kerry admits to Skull and Bones Membership on 'Meet The Press' ", Prison Planet. In this video you will hear Senator John Kerry admit, on American National television show Meet The Press, that he is a member of The Secret Society named 'Skull & Bones'. http://www.prisonplanet.com/010104kerryadmits.html

How important is it that both Kerry and Bush are members of Skull & Bones? Listen to these excerpts of our expose' on Bush's membership of NEWS1314, posted in June, 1999, when George Bush was Texas Governor, not President.

"In past articles, we have stated that the New World Order could not have been realized had it not been for the intense activities of various secret societies throughout the world. We have mentioned one world-wide secret society, the Brotherhood Of Death Society, whose symbol is the skull with two crossed bones. The German Brotherhood of Death Society is the Thule Society. Adolf Hitler joined this society in 1919, becoming an adept under the leadership of Dietrich Eckhart. Later, the Thule Society selected Hitler to be their leader of the New World Order, as Eckhart revealed on his deathbed, saying, "Follow Hitler; he will dance, but it is I who have called the tune. I have initiated him into the Secret Doctrine, opened his centers in vision, and given him the means to communicate with the powers." (Trevor Ravenscroft, The Spear Of Destiny, p. 91).

"In August, 1990, President George Bush announced that the world had now entered into a New World Order. Shockingly, President Bush is an adept in the American Brotherhood of Death Society, the Yale Skull and Bones Society. As we stated earlier, Bush's New World Order is virtually identical with Hitler's; one key connecting point is their common membership in their respective Brotherhood of Death Societies (New Age author, Bill Cooper, Behold A Pale Horse, p. 81; plus Antony Sutton, Introduction To The Order, p.7). Skull and Bones' symbol is also a skull with two crossed bones, but with the mysterious number, '322' underneath. remember that all members of the American Skull and Bones are just as Satanic as was Adolf Hitler. This premise is one that shocks most people to the core, because neither Former President Bush nor his son, Texas Governor George W. Bush, 'look' like Adolf Hitler. Remember Jesus' solemn warning concerning the deception of the End of the Age."For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." [Matthew 24:24]"

Since the word, "Christs" in this above passage refers to the political office of the Jewish Messiah, Jesus is stating that "false political leaders" shall arise and deceive many. Are you one of the deceived?

V. Will US forces capture Osama bin Laden in time to give Bush a boost in the Fall election? Since Bush received a significant -- although brief -- surge in approval polls immediately after Saddam's capture, is it possible to stage the capture of Osama bin Laden just before the November election? Certainly, this next story seems to suggest this might be the case.

NEWS BRIEF: "Senator Grassley's Election Forecast: We'll Get bin Laden", The Hill, carried in the Daily News Updates, 2/5/2004.

"He doesn't bother to attend secret CIA briefings of his fellow senators because he seldom learns anything he hasn't read in the newspapers, but Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is convinced the U.S. will track down the elusive mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks before November ... "Obviously, he'll be caught between now and the election," Grassley said Monday when asked if he's disappointed that Osama bin Laden hasn't been killed or captured. 'I think they're on his trail now in a way they haven't been all year', Grassley said. 'It will happen because we will be able to divert more resources [to hunting down bin Laden].' Grassley, who's an overwhelming favorite to win a fifth term in November, declined to say why he's so confident that bin Laden will be brought to justice. But it certainly didn't come from one of those secret CIA briefings."

If the CIA is as incompetent as the current "intelligence failure" articles are making it seem, Senator Grassley can be forgiven for not paying any attention to the CIA "secret briefings"! In fact, when Senator Grassley states that he gets as much or more out of reading newspapers than he got from CIA briefings, one can only think back to the movie, "Men In Black", where US secret alien agents bought the National Enquirer and The Sun rag magazines to get the "real" news.

But one thing is certain: if Osama bin Laden is caught on Halloween night, Bush's temporary surge might be significant. However, we do remember that the Illuminati always gets their man.

VI. Mel Gibson's movie, "The Passion" will start showing in theaters on February 25. For those people who have been given sneak previews of this movie, speak highly of it. In fact, everyone who is anyone professes love for this movie. Pope John Paul II, Rev. Billy Graham, and Focus on the Family James Dobson are just some people who have verified that the movie is consistent with Scripture and accurately projects the Biblical account of the trial and crucifixion of our beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Nancy Schaefer seemed to typically respond to this movie after being granted a sneak previewing. Listen to her comments:

"The movie is incredible, so very accurate, biblical and so tremendously moving. It will bring you to tears and rip your heart out to view what our Lord endured for us that we might have eternal life." [Nancy Schaefer Commentaries, "The Passion: A Movie You Must See", January 9, 2004]

Having not yet seen the movie, I cannot join the chorus of enthusiasts, at least not yet. I shall have to wait to see it in the theaters February 25. For the time being, I can only go by what my journalistic research has revealed. Please allow me to share one such point of view. Barbara Nicolosi has written much of this movie since she previewed it, and has been interviewed extensively. I tend to put more credence in Barbara's point of view, for she is a self-confessed Orthodox Roman Catholic. Listen to her testimony.

NEWS BRIEF: "'I'll Take an R-Rated True Movie Over a G-Rated Saccharin Lie Any Day' ", Interview by Angelo Matera, Belief Net, http://www.beliefnet.com/story/138/story_13881_1.html

"It's a clichéd phrase, but Barbara Nicolosi is on a mission from God. Literally. The founder and director of the Act One: Writing for Hollywood program is a modern day anti-Jonah, passionately crashing the gates of today's Ninevehs—Los Angeles and New York—on behalf of an interdenominational campaign to find and train Christian artists to work in the entertainment business ..."

At this point, Angelo began to actually interview Barbara. Let us pick up at the pertinent point.

"When I watched The Passion of Christ—and this is why I think this movie will be a moment of grace for the Church ... I mean, I'm an orthodox Catholic. I haven't missed Mass any Sunday in my whole life. I go to confession. I do all the stuff. But I'm a schlep and a wimp and I am not in any sense the hero that I should be. That's how The Passion impacted me. I'm hoping it's going to shake up people and remind us: God didn't die because of them."

Barbara confesses that she is an Orthodox Catholic who believes that "God didn't die because of them (people)."

Mel Gibson is an Orthodox Roman Catholic so devoted in his faith that he has built a small chapel on his mansion grounds so he can attend Mass daily. Therefore, Barbara's viewpoint seems more likely akin to Mel Gibson's guiding viewpoint as he created this film. Therefore, let us examine Barbara's opinion of "The Passion".

"For those of us who love Jesus, The Passion is devastating to watch. It is so good, I almost couldn't stand it. There is one moment on the way of the cross sequence, in which the whole tragedy unfolding devolves into a vicious riot of hatred between Romans and Jews with the Savior on the ground in the middle of it getting it from both sides. It was so frenzied and terrible, I wanted to run from the room. But then, the film again finds Mary, Jesus's Mother on the sidelines, and her presence gets us through it. Kind of like how Mary's presence helped Jesus get through it, it seemed to me." [http://blog.lewrockwell.com/lewrw/archives/000454.html]

This Orthodox Catholic derived confidence when she sensed the "presence" of the Virgin Mary on the sidelines helping her get through this terrible scene. Isn't that the essence of the Roman Catholic experience? They depend upon the Virgin Mary to get them through the anxieties and terrible scenes of life. Therefore, this movie seems Marian to me. Indeed, that is exactly the very next thing Barbara said!

"The film is lovingly Marian. Mary is perfectly portrayed here." [Ibid.]

Let us stop right here. If the Virgin Mary is "perfectly portrayed" in the movie, then does the movie portrays her in all the unbiblical ways in which the Roman Catholic Church portrays her? Will she be portrayed as a Co-Redemptress, being equal with Jesus in redeeming mankind from sin? Will she be portrayed as the only avenue by which mankind can come to Jesus? Will she be portrayed as Co-Mediatrix, mediating man's sin to the Father? Will she be prayed to in the movie? Will she be portrayed as the "Queen of Heaven" and "Queen of Peace"? Will she be portrayed as the "First-Born of the Church"?

Let us now return to Barbara's comments.

"The film is strongly Eucharistic. There is a beautiful juxtaposition of images that cuts from the stripping on Calvary to the unwrapping of the bread to be used at the last Supper."

Are they going to portray Mary as "offering up her Son" to the Father? Is Mary going to be the final focus of the movie? Will the movie portray the Catholic belief that the bread of the Eucharist is really Jesus' physical body? Look carefully at this statement, above. Barbara is saying that the film is going to switch from showing Jesus' body being stripped of His clothes on the cross to the breaking of bread at the Last Supper. Any real Catholic watching this film will instinctively understand that this juxtaposition of scenes to depict the Catholic belief that the bread of the Communion is really Jesus' physical body!

Let us now examine a Catholic teaching of Mary in anther regard:

"She (Mary) completes in her flesh as already in her heart what is lacking in the suffering of Christ." [Pope John Paul II, Apostolic Letter, Salvifici Doloris, n. 25)

Does this mean that the suffering of Mary at the time of the trial, torture and crucifixion will be so juxtaposed with Jesus' real suffering that the viewer will believe that her suffering is making up for what is " lacking in the suffering of Christ"? If this is the case, we should expect to see scenes where Mary's emotional suffering is contrasted to the Savior's physical suffering Maybe we will even see instances where scenes of Mary's suffering is flashed back and forth with scenes of Jesus' suffering. The Catholics teach that an emotional sword even pierced the heart of Mary. Thus, through the combination of Jesus' physical suffering and Mary's emotional suffering, the sins of mankind is atoned.

Therefore, watch this movie with the above comments from Barbara firmly in your mind. Remember the principle of the Disinformation Agent. Whether the disinformation comes by a human spy, or an article, or a movie, a good disinformation agent will give 85-95% good solid information. But, such an agent will give the 5-15% bad information which they feel will lead you astray. Thus, you MUST watch the movie to spot the 5-15% bad information and not get caught up in the 85-95% good information. No one would ignore a single drop of deadly poison being put into a perfectly good cup of coffee, for they would know that a single drop can kill you; yet, that same person will refuse to apply the same logic to spiritual matters. When confronted with the bad information contained within a disinformation piece, they will defend the existence of the bad because so much good was presented. Remember the warning of the Apostle Paul.

Just a "little leaven ... perverts the whole conception of faith or misleads the whole church."!

If you go to watch this movie, you must do so with your mind, more so than with your heart.

Let us end this discussion by going back to the concept of disinformation. A human disinformation agent (a spy) will time the planting of his wrong information at just the right moment to cause defeat for his foe and victory for his hidden masters. For example, a good Russian disinformation agent would wait to give his wrong information to the Americans for whom he might have worked for 20 years until a serious battle is underway between Russian and American forces. At just the right moment, when the battle is fiercely joined and the outcome in doubt, the spy will slip the wrong information to the Americans, hoping that such bad information would cause their defeat.

What spiritual battle is reaching a critical mass right now? The world stands at the cusp of the joining of all religions into one global religion which would be headed by the False Prophet. Roman Catholicism is providing the key leadership. To the goddess religions of the East (Buddhism, Hinduism), Catholicism is drawing them because of the inherent goddess worship of the Virgin Mary. To the Protestant Christian, Rome is drawing them by emphasizing their common points and forcibly ignoring the differences. The Concordat which Liberal Christianity signed with Rome in 1994 is a good example, for the Protestant signers called Catholics their "brothers" in Christ and promised not to evangelize the Catholic faithful.

At a time in world history when so many other signs are pointing to the appearance of Antichrist, is this film designed to provide the final push toward the joining of Catholicism and Protestant Christianity? Having not seen the film, I cannot say. However, the portents do not seem good.

VII. Last week, our food chain seemed to be under unusual attack! Let us review the separate crises:

NEWS BRIEF: "Signed article calls for decisive action against bird flu", China's People Daily, February 07, 2004

"Xinhua published a signed article Saturday calling for decisive measures to curb the spread of bird flu in the country by setting up a disease control network and mobilizing the people to fight the animal epidemic that has broken out in many countries and killed millions of poultry ... The situation has propelled China to adopt firm and decisive measures to deal with the issue, by blocking all the major affected areas and slaughtering all fowls in the affected areas..."

Thus, we can see that millions of poultry have already been killed, with many more millions possible. However, China is not alone in dealing with this Bird Flu so decisively and radically.

NEWS BRIEF: "Singapore may kill all chickens", news.com.au, February 6, 2004

"SINGAPORE is prepared to slaughter all its chickens if a single case of bird flu is found on any of its farms, the government said today. Authorities have stepped up inspections and tests on imported poultry products and suspended imports from countries hit by bird flu ..."

Why are governments panicking so much? Some reports these past several weeks have indicated that this Bird Flu may kill 75% of all humans who come down with the disease! That kind of percentage is unbelievable and, if it spreads widely, could kill tens of millions of people, must like the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-1919.

NEWS BRIEF: "10,000 birds fall from sky", news.com.au, February 6, 2004

"MORE than 10,000 birds died mysteriously in eastern China's Jiangsu province, dropping like rain from the sky, state media reported yesterday. Farmers and other witnesses in Sangongdian village in Taizhou city saw flocks of bramble finch suddenly fall from the sky on Tuesday ... Most of the birds were dead when they hit the ground and some were injured, it said. The birds look like sparrows and are small in size. Officials from the local centre for disease prevention and control rushed to the scene. Samples from the birds were taken to a lab in nearby Nanjing city for testing to determine the cause of death ... They did not immediately say whether there was any connection with the spreading bird flu outbreak in Asia. At least 12 of China's 31 provinces have confirmed or suspected outbreaks of the avian influenza, which has devastated flocks across Asia and killed 11 people in Vietnam and five in Thailand."

Whether this mass killing of this many birds has anything to do with the Avian Bird Flu is anyone's guess, but such an usual death occurring at the same time as an outbreak in Southeast Asia of the Bird Flu is suspicious.

However, poultry may not be the only animal affected by Bird Flu.

NEWS BRIEF: "Scrutiny on pigs as bird flu keeps killing", smh.com.au, 8 February 2004

"Two more people have died in Vietnam of bird flu, taking Asia's death toll to 18 yesterday, but two UN reports denied suggestions that the disease had jumped to humans or pigs. The two reports suggest the virus is not, at least yet, mutating into forms that would turn it into a pandemic for humans. The World Health Organization said genetic tests on bird flu virus taken from two Vietnamese sisters who died showed it had not yet acquired the mutations needed to pass from person to person. This suggested the two women caught it directly from chickens. Thirteen people have died from bird flu in Vietnam so far."

If this Bird Flu has jumped the species barrier from poultry to pig, that is a huge development. Since the UN is downgrading this possibility, we shall just have to wait to see how this situation develops. Since humans are getting sick with this flu and some are dying, this virus has already jumped the species barrier from poultry to human. As Dr. Horowitz demonstrates in his video, depicted above, the genetic researchers combined several animal viruses with human in order to produce AIDS! Have you noticed how many new, exotic diseases have descended upon mankind since researchers cracked the genetics code and began experimenting with combining and recombining human and animal genetic materials? I still think that genetically produced diseases are the plagues of the Book of Revelation.

A new warning was just issued that combined the threat of the Bird Flu with human flu.

NEWS BRIEF: "Stage May be Set for Bird Flu Pandemic, Says Infectious Diseases Expert", News Wise, 04-Feb-2004

"The simultaneous existence of bird flu and a particularly virulent form of human influenza circulating this season is the 'perfect set-up for something weird and dangerous' to happen on the world health scene, according to a University at Buffalo expert on infectious disease and geographic medicine. 'The worry is that if the two flu viruses cohabitate in the same person they will exchange genetic information and produce an influenza strain totally new to humans that can be passed from person to person,' says Richard V. Lee, M.D., professor of medicine at the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

"If that happens, we easily can have a pandemic flu on our hands," he says. According to Lee and other experts, it probably will take four to six months to manufacture a vaccine to combat a human-to-human form of the bird flu. In that time, the virus could spread around the world, Lee says."

Since I am not a scientist, I cannot judge right now the accuracy of the science being portrayed here. However, this story surely fulfills the propaganda desire to get people around the world uneasy and unhappy and downright scared! However, I do have one question: since this Bird Flu is a virus, it mutates so fast and so often that scientists have never been able to develop an effective vaccine against it. No virus has ever been beaten. Even the flu vaccine is ineffective in fighting the current strain of flu that sweeps the nation every year! How, then, are we to expect that a vaccine can be developed that can beat this virus? Repeated calls for vaccinations to be the cure-all for these various types of viral infections is very suspicious, leading me to wonder if a hidden goal exists to scare people to take vaccinations?

Now, let us examine another meat under attack in the world right now.

NEWS BRIEF: "Mad cow likely has spread: International panel says more U.S. cattle possibly infected", AberdeenNews.com, Feb. 05, 2004

"WASHINGTON - There is a ''high probability'' that more American cattle are infected with mad cow disease than the one found in Washington state late last year, an international panel of experts convened by the Agriculture Department said Wednesday. The panel concluded that the mad cow agent, which came initially from Canada or Europe, has probably spread within the American beef herd. The advisory group also said the American government and beef industry must do more to keep it contained."

What is the answer to containing this horrific situation? More government regulations, of course!

"... the government must ban the feeding of beef brains and central nervous system tissue to pigs, poultry and pets. The Food and Drug Administration prohibited the feeding of cattle parts to other cattle in 1997 and recently broadened the ban to include goats and sheep. The panel said Wednesday the ban should cover all animals because of the risk of infected tissue inadvertently making its way into the feed given to cattle. Industry officials said meeting that standard would cost $700 million a year." [Ibid.]

Government regulation has always been viewed by the Illuminati as one effective manner in which dictatorial controls could be so gradually extended over a people that few, if any, can spot the gradual encroachment. Is this what is occurring here? Let us now go back to this featured article.

"The panel also recommended significantly expanding the testing for animals showing any signs of mad cow disease. The USDA now tests a sample of animals that have died on the farm, can't stand up or show signs of neurological disease. The panel said that all animals in those categories - which beef industry officials say could number as many as 195,000 a year - should be tested."

Some cattle have already been slaughtered, and many more could be killed if any additional Mad Cow animals are discovered. Remember, many millions of cows were slaughtered in Great Britain a few years ago because of the relatively benign disease called Foot-and-Mouth Disease. Two-thirds of all infected animals get well of their own accord, and there is zero scientific evidence that humans get ill from eating the meat. Yet, millions of animals were slaughtered, ruining the farm land of many farmers, so much so that the land was turned over to the United Nations Biodiversty Sphere program! Is this what lies in store for us over Mad Cow?

Are we seeing a deliberately created assault on our food supply so that the government will have the excuse to step in with regulations not possible under normal circumstances? This possibility is very real, especially when you realize the Illuminati operates according to the Dialectic Principle, that change is made when Thesis battles Antithesis [NEWS1007].

Therefore, we see constant instances of crises -- from foreign wars to domestic turmoil -- created simply so the government can step in with its solution: more regulations and less personal freedoms. Furthermore, once the crisis is passed, the new regulations are almost never given back; rather, the government keeps the extra controls, until the next contrived crisis allows them to usurp more control -- until a dictatorship is finally achieved!

--------Conclusion-------------------- "Thy love to me was wonderful." 2 Samuel 1:26

Come, dear readers, let each one of us speak for himself of the wonderful love, not of Jonathan, but of Jesus. We will not relate what we have been told, but the things which we have tasted and handled-of the love of Christ. Thy love to me, O Jesus, was wonderful when I was a stranger wandering far from Thee, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind. Thy love restrained me from committing the sin which is unto death, and withheld me from self-destruction. Thy love held back the axe when Justice said, "Cut it down! why cumbereth it the ground?" Thy love drew me into the wilderness, stripped me there, and made me feel the guilt of my sin, and the burden of mine iniquity. Thy love spake thus comfortably to me when, I was sore dismayed--"Come unto Me, and I will give thee rest."

Oh, how matchless Thy love when, in a moment, Thou didst wash my sins away, and make my polluted soul, which was crimson with the blood of my nativity, and black with the grime of my transgressions, to be white as the driven snow, and pure as the finest wool. How Thou didst commend Thy love when Thou didst whisper in my ears, "I am thine and thou art Mine." Kind were those accents when Thou saidst, "The Father Himself loveth you." And sweet the moments, passing sweet, when Thou declaredst to me "the love of the Spirit." Never shall my soul forget those chambers of fellowship where Thou has unveiled Thyself to me. Had Moses his cleft in the rock, where he saw the train, the back parts of his God? We, too, have had our clefts in the rock, where we have seen the full splendours of the Godhead in the person of Christ. Did David remember the tracks of the wild goat, the land of Jordan and the Hermonites? We, too, can remember spots to memory dear, equal to these in blessedness.

Precious Lord Jesus, give us a fresh draught of Thy wondrous love. Amen.

(C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions", A.W. Tozer CDROM Library; Emphasis added)
