---------- Inspiration For the Week--------"The precious blood of Christ." 1 Peter 1:19

Standing at the foot of the cross, we see hands, and feet, and side, all distilling crimson streams of precious blood. It is "precious" because of its redeeming and atoning efficacy. By it the sins of Christ's people are atoned for; they are redeemed from under the law; they are reconciled to God, made one with Him. Christ's blood is also "precious" in its cleansing power; it "cleanseth from all sin." "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." Through Jesus' blood there is not a spot left upon any believer, no wrinkle nor any such thing remains. O precious blood, which makes us clean, removing the stains of abundant iniquity, and permitting us to stand accepted in the Beloved, notwithstanding the many ways in which we have rebelled against our God. The blood of Christ is likewise "precious" in its preserving power. We are safe from the destroying angel under the sprinkled blood.

Remember it is God's seeing the blood which is the true reason for our being spared. Here is comfort for us when the eye of faith is dim, for God's eye is still the same.

The blood of Christ is "precious" also in its sanctifying influence. The same blood which justifies by taking away sin, does in its after-action, quicken the new nature and lead it onward to subdue sin and to follow out the commands of God. There is no motive for holiness so great as that which streams from the veins of Jesus. And "precious," unspeakably precious, is this blood, because it has an overcoming power. It is written, "They overcame through the blood of the Lamb." How could they do otherwise? He who fights with the precious blood of Jesus, fights with a weapon which cannot know defeat. The blood of Jesus! sin dies at its presence, death ceases to be death: heaven's gates are opened. The blood of Jesus! we shall march on, conquering and to conquer, so long as we can trust its power! [C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions, A. W. Tozer CDROM Library; emphasis added]http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=599

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

I. Last week, a U.S. Army medical officer -- a Cutting Edge subscriber -- reports that 45% of the soldiers who went to Iraq one year ago are sick with a variety of "mysterious ailments" for which Army medical doctors have no explanation! Just as "Gulf War Syndrome" was the generic term applied to Depleted Uranium poisoning, so is "Mysterious Illness" a generic term being applied to D.U. poisoning from this war.

Before we get into the testimony of this American medical officer, let us review the medical facts about the various toxins each of our soldiers are facing right now in Iraq, and have been daily facing for over one year. The source for this information is a medical doctor in a foreign army trained in modern desert warfare, including the effects of D.U. munitions. This doctor gave us this description of the various "mysterious illnesses" which would be primarily caused by Depleted Uranium. We first posted this information in August, 2003.

The body of every soldier in Iraq is now being assaulted by the following elements:

In the daily campaign in Iraq, soldiers are breathing in the toxic Depleted Uranium, and many of them are being constantly bitten by the local insects. These two elements join the toxic vaccine already in the body. Because of the unrelenting, searing heat, nearly every soldier is dehydrated to some degree, thus allowing this deadly combination of toxins to build up to dangerously concentrated levels. Further, this doctor related how American scientists keeping watch over the radioactive poisoning of the Pacific islands at which France and the United States conducted nuclear tests several decades ago, are constantly finding mutated organisms that have never been identified before! Uranium poisoning in our soldiers is very likely mutating with these other elements to create strange and deadly organisms for which the soldiers have not been prepared to face.

The way in which these five elements combine to make the solider sick, or to kill him, will vary widely with each soldier. The age of the soldier plays a part, as does the individual genetic code, as does the health of the immune system. Thus, soldiers will be getting sick at various points along the time spectrum. Further, the exact cause of death will vary so widely that it will be difficult to prove any single cause. Some soldiers will die of pneumonia, some of internal organ meltdown, some of apparent heart attack, and some will die of maladies perhaps not yet seen in medical science.

Therefore, last week, this American medical officer was well aware that he should be alert to many men afflicted with a wide variety of ailments as they returned from Iraq. And, that is exactly what he discovered. One of the returning soldiers with whom he spoke was a career NCO, an E-7. This soldier told this medical officer that, yes, a strange variety of different ailments had befallen American soldiers throughout the year he was in Iraq. Some soldiers died on the spot, while a great many others had to be evacuated from the theater for a wide variety of reasons. When this medical officer asked if a large number of troops were thus affected, the E-7 said that about 45% of the soldiers in the Iraqi Theater were affected by these strange debilitating ailments!

What struck me strongly was that this percentage was virtually the same as the percentage of men of the 422nd Military Police from the Bronx who were tested positive for DU contamination, as we reported in NEWS1907. Nine members of this group returned after serving in Iraq for one year. When the Army refused to administer D.U. tests, the men called the New York Daily News, the second-largest daily newspaper in New York City. The tests revealed that four out of nine men had tested positive for D.U. contamination; four out of nine represents 44%!

My other inside source for this past year has been the retired Army Major. When I was writing NEWS1907, this Major told me that 44% was the right figure for American soldiers who have spent one year in and around a uranium-contaminated battlefield in Iraq! Does this mean that 45% of the troops who are returning from Iraq after a one-year tour of duty are now sick, from a disease whose root cause is Depleted Uranium poisoning?

Sadly, 45% may the correct number of currently returning veterans who are now down sick with Depleted Uranium poisoning. Since we have sent 120,000 men into Iraq originally, this means that 54,000 of them are now in some degree of D.U. poisoning! Eventually, all now infected with die. Further, by the time 2008 rolls around, this infection rate will be somewhere around 75-80%, according to Joyce Riley of the Gulf War Veterans Association. You see, many of the men who test negative now may test positive years later, as the progression of the contamination depends upon many physical factors, chief among which is the individual genetic code.

But, just the 54,000 figure means that we have lost almost as many men in one year of combat in Iraq as we lost during the entire 13-year Vietnam War!

Does anyone remember that President Bush launched this war on a stack of lies and distortions about the danger posed by Saddam Hussein's Weapons of Mass Destruction? No WMD was ever found, nor will they ever be found. We have written two articles on these terrible lies:

NEWS1890 -- BUSH/BLAIR JUSTIFICATION OF IRAQ INVASION: NOW PROVEN TO BE LIES, DISTORTIONS, EXAGGERATIONS! Part 1 of 2

NEWS1890b -- BUSH/BLAIR JUSTIFICATION OF IRAQ INVASION: NOW PROVEN TO BE LIES, DISTORTIONS, EXAGGERATIONS! Part 2of 2

II. Israel's Prime Minister Sharon accelerated his planned separation of populations -- Jews from Palestinians -- this week, with a blessing from President Bush. As we begin our examination of this momentous event, please keep in mind that the unstated, silent reason given for this unilateral withdrawal is not to provide better security against terrorism, nor to give the Palestinians the state for which they have been clamoring, but to separate the populations -- Jews from Palestinians. This startling development is almost unheard of in modern history. The only time in modern history in which a strong leader separated a population as a Stage One prior to a Genocide occurred in Nazi Germany when Adolf Hitler began to separate the Jews from the Germans, creating the Ghetto in which Jews were forced to live. Hitler's plan was to eventually begin slaughtering the Jew; separating his victims in the Ghetto was just the first step.

Likewise, this population separation is just the first step in the planned annihilation of the Palestinians, a horrible act that, nevertheless, will fulfill Bible prophecy. We explain this most unlikely scenario in NEWS1422, an article posted on October 25, 2000. Prophecy stipulates, in Obadiah 15-18 that Israel would annihilate man, woman, and child all the people of the "House of Esau" at the End of the Age. The Palestinians in Israel and in Jordan are the descendants of the House of Esau. Therefore, we should expect to see Israel taking steps to accomplish this terrible fulfillment of prophecy. What are some of these steps and do we see them today? Even though NEWS1422 answers this question thoroughly, let us list the most important here.

1. We must expect to see a conflict between Israel and the Palestinians that is so terrible and so defiant of fervent efforts to solve the conflict peaceably that Israel would be driven to solve the conflict through annihilation of her enemy. Further, we should expect to see Israel consider the entire Palestinian population as her enemy. We see exactly this type of conflict, do we not? For the past three decades, the Palestinians have been attacking Israel, murdering innocent Jewish citizens -- including babies -- and threatening Israel with physical destruction. Additionally, we have seen the official Palestinian Authority write textbooks that teach implacable hatred of Jews and of Israel to the youngest of Palestinians; this educational reality ensures that Palestinians for the next generation, at least, are going to be consumed with hatred of Israel. Thus, the entire population is Israel's deadly and implacable enemy.

2. The Palestinians are going to have to be seduced into attacking Israel in a major assault, and probably with Syria and Egypt as allies. If the Palestinians are convinced that Israel has allowed herself to be backed into a corner from which she cannot militarily defend herself, they would be sorely tempted to strike. This unilateral withdrawal plan will weaken Israel in just this manner.

3. Since no Jewish leader and no Israeli military general wants to kill their own population when they annihilate the Palestinians, we should expect that Israel would take unilateral steps to separate their population from the Palestinians. At the time we posted NEWS1422, we noted that the Israeli Defense Force had been ordered to begin construction of the Security Fence, the first major effort to separate populations. Now that this Security Fence is nearing completion, Sharon announced his "unilateral withdrawal" program which will actually move Jewish citizens out of harms way, because the settlements being moved are scattered amongst the Arab population. These Jewish citizens are being moved behind defensible borders, most of them behind the newly constructed Security Fence. To understand the linkage between the Security Fence and the final disengagement of populations, you only have to realize that the Security Fence is planned for completion by the end of 2004, while the announced timetable for unilateral withdrawal is 2005.

Let us now examine a story which clearly demonstrates that separating the populations is the goal of Sharon's unilateral withdrawal.

NEWS BRIEF: "A grave situation in Gaza", The Jerusalem Post, April 14, 2004.

"There is one clear consequence of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan from the Gaza Strip: The 8,000 settlers will be compensated and transferred to a different part of the country. However, the fate of 40 residents buried in the regional cemetery at Neveh Dekalim is still undecided ... Foreseeing the inevitable removal of the Gaza Strip cemetery, Ariel, with pain in his voice, said, "When the soldiers come to remove the settlers, there will be those that will also remove the graves'."

Therefore, there can be no doubt: Sharon's unilateral disengagement plan is moving Jewish settlers back behind defensible borders, removing them from being scattered amongst the Palestinian populations. Just as we foresaw in October, 2000, the population separation continues apace. As you see this removal getting closer to completion, you will know the time of the annihilation draws near. Conversely, as long as you see this process incomplete, you will know the time of annihilation is still in the future.

Sanity Versus Insanity -- Seeking "Another Sense"

On the surface, Sharon's plan seems insane, for it cuts Israel into several pieces which are virtually indefensible. Further, by giving up the Gaza Strip, Israel is allowing armed Palestinians, and possibly even Egyptian military elements to take positions suicidally close to the heart of Israel. The old intelligence adage certainly holds true here: when something makes no sense, you must seek other sense.

NEWS BRIEF: "Creating A New War Front In Israel", by David Basch, April 8 Email Newsletter.

"Will Israel fail because the Arab enemy has desired Israel's destruction far more than the Israeli desire for the nation to survive? ... What Sharon contemplates will turn Gaza into a new war front as the narrow, Mediterranean coastline strip that extends like a dagger into the heart of Israel becomes a militarized enemy beachhead in the way that the Lebanese border has become. (The Lebanese border, having been abandoned by Barak, is today lined with artillery directed into the whole north of Israel.) Israeli territory ceded to the enemy in Gaza will be directly reinforced by the Arabs from the sea and from tunnels and even overland from Egypt. It would be laughable if it were not so sad that the mad Sharon wanted Egypt to get into Gaza, an Egypt that remains an enemy of Israel and which would supply weapons of mass destruction and all kinds of rocketry that would endanger all of Israel -- dangers of the kind that North Korea poses to its neighbors -- making the area invulnerable to Israeli counter measures."

When I read several months ago that Sharon might invite the Egyptians to "patrol" the Gaza Strip after the Israelis totally withdrew, I could not believe my ears! Even though Egypt has signed a peace treaty with Israel and still abides by that treaty, indications have been spilling into the public view for the past several years that Egypt's heart is against Israel and supportive of the Arab cause to annihilate Israel. Therefore, inviting an enemy like Egypt to come right up to your doorstep with heavy guns and elite special forces seems suicidal. Then, to make matters worse, the United States yesterday told Israel that, when she does withdraw the IDF from the Gaza Strip, she cannot send those forces back into the area to chase terrorists or to put down a military threat! Listen:

NEWS BRIEF: "Washington Says Israel Cannot Invade Gaza After Withdrawal", Independent Media, IMRA, April 16, 2004

"WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has rejected an Israeli request for the right to invade the Gaza Strip following a unilateral withdrawal. U.S. officials said the Bush administration refused to approve Israel's right to invade the Gaza Strip should the area be used as a staging ground for Palestinian attacks against the Jewish state ... 'It doesn't talk about a right to go back in [Gaza]," a senior administration official said of the Bush letter. 'So what our hope is, that we can, working with states in the region, help the Palestinian institutions to take responsibility for security and to fight terror, because that's what's called for them to do in the roadmap and that will obviate all the rest of the discussion'."

This Bush Administration stance will make the Palestinians and Egyptians even more bold to plan and to carry out deadly attacks on Israel using the Gaza Strip as a staging area; they will believe America will keep Israel from counterattacking into the Gaza. As for the last statement, I cannot believe any American official would really state that he "hopes" the Palestinians will act to restrain terror attacks, thus making it unnecessary to talk about Israeli incursion into the Gaza! Hell will freeze over before the Palestinian Authority -- led by Arafat -- will do anything to stop the very terror attacks they deem necessary to bring Israel to defeat.

We have spoken repeatedly that this pressure upon Israel to cave into that greatest terrorist the world has ever seen -- Yassir Arafat -- makes no sense, especially in light to President Bush's fiery rhetoric following the 9/11 attacks. Just as we predicted, the Palestinians have taken every "restraint" Israel showed after each terrorist attack as a demonstration of weakness; thus, every lack of effective Israeli reprisal will stir the Palestinians into greater acts of violence. A story this past week illustrated this truth very well.

NEWS BRIEF: "Hamas: Bush's statement proves that resistance is 'only way' ", Ha'aretz Daily, April 15, 2004

"Palestinian militant group Hamas said on Wednesday President George W. Bush's statement that Israel could keep parts of the West Bank proves armed resistance is the only way for Palestinians ... Hamas, which has vowed to destroy the Jewish state, envisages having Israel and the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip as part of a Palestinian state. It rejects any settlement with Israel, including a U.S.-sponsored peace road map."

Just like a little child who is never really punished when he is bad, the Palestinians have gotten their way so long and have avoided punishment for so long, they believe they can do anything they want to do and get away with it. Such US and Israeli policy is only encouraging the worst kind of repeated bad behavior possible! It seems almost as if America and Israel are planning for the Palestinians to commit greater acts of terror. Remember this thought as we get to the end of this section.

Reality vs Perception

You can also forget all the Palestinian rhetoric about being unhappy about Israel's withdrawal, as that is just a staged reaction so that the undiscerning will be fooled. Arafat and his terror chieftains are getting exactly what they have been pursuing all these years, i.e., an Israeli unilateral retreat. You can also forget about various stories coming out about why Bush "changed US Middle East strategy", for Bush is simply completing a plan undertaken in 1992 as Israel began to work on the Oslo Accords. These accords were designed to seemly render Israel impotent and militarily indefensible, so that the Palestinians will believe they have Israel on the ropes. Once they militarily attack, Israel will have the war on her hands she needs to be able to defend an annihilation of an entire people. For Israel to be able to pull off an annihilation of the Palestinians, the Palestinians and her allies must attack Israel.

We shall issue a major story next week, detailing how Israel put together a plan no later than 1992 that called for a systematic withdrawal until the Palestinians believed they could attack and win. This plan was started while President Bush, Sr., was in the White House, but was continued until President Clinton, and is now about to be finished under President Bush, or President Kerry if he wins this election. Watch for this article.

We have always stated that Oslo was a gigantic trap to ensnare the unwitting Palestinians, that will also allow Israel to expand outward to possess all her Biblical possessions.

Remember the true adage, that truth is most often discovered in the exact opposite direction from the rhetoric.

We cannot offer any hint of the timing of this unilateral withdrawal. One news story said Sharon would complete it by the end of 2005. And that may be the true timetable. However, one cannot forget the abrupt manner in which Prime Minister Ehud Barak quit Lebanon. In the midst of a debate as to whether Israel should withdraw from Lebanon, Barak suddenly ordered the IDF to pick up and pull out! Jews were shocked, Palestinians elated. In the space of just a few hours, Israel was out of Lebanon; will Sharon pull the same tactic? We shall just have to wait to see.

III. As the Iraqi war continued to explode, American soldiers died at an unprecedented rate, causing Russia to suddenly evacuate her citizens! Evacuation of foreign nationals is almost always a severe war sign.

NEWS BRIEF: "Russians Are Airlifted From Baghdad", By Maria Danilova, The Associated Press, reprinted in he Moscow Times, April 14, 2004

"The Emergency Situations Ministry on Thursday sent planes to Iraq to evacuate hundreds of Russian companies' employees in a massive effort following the kidnapping of eight workers ... The two-day evacuation effort is to involve six flights to Baghdad and one to Kuwait, the ministry said. Its preliminary plan envisages the evacuation of 553 Russian citizens and 263 citizens from countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States who are working on Russian contracts at facilities in Iraq. The move follows Monday's abduction of three Russians and five Ukrainians who were released unharmed the next day. "

When you see governments suddenly evacuating their national citizens from a country embroiled in war, you can know that the officials of that government had decided that the situation was deteriorating so rapidly that, if they did not act quickly, their foreign citizens might be caught and killed. Abrupt evacuations of foreign nationals by their government is always considered a major sign of all-out war.

Other governments urged their people to leave: France, Jordan, Italy

Now, let us look at the other portion of our headline: American troops were dying an a rate unprecedented since the war began.

NEWS BRIEF: "Rumsfeld: Iraq Toll Higher Than Expected", by John J. Lumpkin, My Way News, April 15, 2004

"WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Thursday that the death toll of U.S. troops in recent fighting in Iraq was higher than he had expected, acknowledging a change in plans as he announced thousands of soldiers won't be coming home as early as promised. Rumsfeld described a decision to keep some 20,000 troops inside Iraq longer than originally planned, telling reporters at the Pentagon: 'I certainly would not have estimated that we would have had the number of individuals lost that we have had lost in the last week'.Halfway through April, the month already is the deadliest of the war for the United States, with 88 U.S. soldiers killed in a surge of violence coming from multiple insurgent factions inside the country. Hundreds of Iraqis have been killed."

As American troops were drawn into urban warfare, and as the enemy changed tactics and leadership, the toll on our troops became more severe. Every day this week, some official of the Bush Administration was on the defensive, trying to put the best face upon a deteriorating battle situation. Further, when Rumsfeld announced that 20,000 American troops were going to be kept on duty longer than their one year, he broke a promise made to these men and to their families. Does anyone remember that generals were quoted as telling Congress that America needed at least double the number of men that Rumsfeld was planning to commit to this operation? In fact, one general so bold as to tell Congress we needed 250,000 men was quickly "retired". Our forces would be in much better control of the country now had we committed that level of men.

IV. Private Contract Mercenaries are being killed at a staggering rate in Iraq right now.

NEWS BRIEF: "Secret Iraq Death Toll: 80 Mercenaries In 8 Days", Break For News, April 14, 2004

"In the last 8 days, around 80 Western mercenaries have been killed, reports a veteran journalist in Iraq. More mercenaries have died in one week than occupation forces in two weeks, writes Robert Fisk, who says the dead come from the U.S., Europe and South Africa. Lieutenant-General Mark Kimmitt made no mention of mercenaries --many of whom are former Special Forces soldiers, when he admitted that 'about 70' occupation troops had died during the Iraqi insurgency since April 1. Fisk writes that the military command are apparently fearful that the full total of Western dead would cause 'serious political fallout'. Presumed remains of four more mercenaries were found near Baghdad today."

In our last newsletter, we noted that the four "contract security workers" who were brutally murdered and their bodies mutilated, were likely mercenaries working for the American government. We said that, if the Iraqis knew that these men were working for our government, and if they were carrying out special operations for us, that would explain the explosion of Iraqi fury towards them. This story and others breaking this past week seemingly validated our conclusion. However, I was not prepared for the news as to the sheer number of mercenaries fighting in Iraq.

NEWS BRIEF: "Military Contractors Shoulder Heavy Burden in Iraq", Fox News, By Peter Brownfeld, April 16, 2004

"WASHINGTON — They have military-style weapons and duties. Many even have military-style body armor and crew cuts. An Iraqi could be forgiven for failing to understand that these men are guns for hire — not soldiers. These hired guns, who number more than 15,000, generally prefer the term "private military contractors." They are a mixture of ex-military, mostly from Great Britain and the United States, but also from Australia, South Africa and elsewhere, including Fiji, Nepal and even Iraq. They serve many roles that are traditionally seen as the responsibility of soldiers, including guarding supply convoys for military contractors, training Iraqi soldiers and even supplying guards for Coalition Provisional Authority Administrator L. Paul Bremer."

Even in my greatest dreams, I never guessed that we might be paying 15,000 specially trained former military soldiers as mercenaries! These type of men do not come cheaply; they probably command a six-figure guaranteed salary. That is a hefty price to pay for failing to field an adequate army in the first place. I have never heard of any American military command paying so many mercenaries to do so much. These hired guns are even providing security for the US Administrator, Paul Bremer!

A quick note about L. Paul Bremer, the US Administrator in Iraq. I finally took the time to check his occult and Illuminist background. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). At the time this reference book was published, Bremer was Managing Director of the Kissinger & Associates, Foreign Policy ["Who's Who of the Elite", by Robert Gaylon Ross, Senior, p. 99]

When a man rises to the post of Managing Director of Kissinger & Associates group, he is a very high-ranking Illuminist, and thoroughly committed to the overall plan to produce the global system so Antichrist can arise to take control

V. The British charge that American forces are brutally and indiscriminately killing Iraqi civilians. The evidence seems to suggest they are right.

NEWS BRIEF: "US Tactics In Iraq Condemned By Top British Officers", By Sean Rayment, Defence Correspondent, The Telegraph - UK, 4-12-4

"Senior British commanders have condemned American military tactics in Iraq as heavy-handed and disproportionate ... The officer, who agreed to the interview on the condition of anonymity, said that part of the problem was that American troops viewed Iraqis as untermenschen - the Nazi expression for 'sub-humans' ... Speaking from his base in southern Iraq, the officer said: 'My view and the view of the British chain of command is that the Americans' use of violence is not proportionate and is over-responsive to the threat they are facing. They don't see the Iraqi people the way we see them. They view them as untermenschen. They are not concerned about the Iraqi loss of life in the way the British are. Their attitude towards the Iraqis is tragic, it's awful'. The phrase untermenschen - literally "under-people" - was brought to prominence by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf, published in 1925. He used the term to describe those he regarded as racially inferior: Jews, Slaves and Gipsies."

How can this be? Most Americans believe their government and their military hold up pretty high standards regarding warfare and our concern for non-combat civilians. I used to believe this, until I learned during my tour of duty in Okinawa at the Pentagon-level intelligence facility that the terrible slaughter of Vietnamese civilians at My Lai was NOT an aberration! Rather, it was common practice. Estimates of the number of Vietnamese civilians killed during the 13-year war is 3,000,000. Admittedly, many of these were killed because of the civil war that was raging so strongly, a war that kept civilians in the spotlight; however, too many of them occurred because of civilian murders by Americans in towns like My Lai, and by our wanton spraying of Agent Orange.

Now, the British are complaining that we are indiscriminately killing Iraqi civilians because we consider them to be "untermenschen", the under-valued people in the Nazi viewpoint. In fact, this low view of your enemy usually degenerates into considering them to be animals, not humans. With this concept in mind, please consider the following information.

"The officer explained that, under British military rules of war, British troops would never be given clearance to carry out attacks similar to those being conducted by the US military, in which helicopter gunships have been used to fire on targets in urban areas ... The American approach was markedly different: "When US troops are attacked with mortars in Baghdad, they use mortar-locating radar to find the firing point and then attack the general area with artillery, even though the area they are attacking may be in the middle of a densely populated residential area. They may well kill the terrorists in the barrage but they will also kill and maim innocent civilians. That has been their response on a number of occasions. It is trite, but American troops do shoot first and ask questions later." [Ibid.]

"The officer believed that America had now lost the military initiative in Iraq, and it could only be regained with carefully planned, precision attacks against the 'terrorists'. 'The US will have to abandon the sledgehammer-to-crack-a-nut approach - it has failed', he said. 'They need to stop viewing every Iraqi, every Arab as the enemy ..." [Ibid.]

Lest you believe this British command officer is exaggerating, we turn our attention now to one soldier posting emails on public Internet discussion boards. As you read these postings, remember they are coming from a soldier who is currently pulling the trigger in Iraq right now. You might not recognize America's traditional values in these postings. Rather, these are the values of the new, secular America. We apologize ahead of time for the language; we did clean up the email considerably.

NEWS BRIEF: "What you can't hear from 'The Front' ", TimeBomb 2000, April 14, 2004

"Subject: Fwd: 2/4 SITREP Ramadi Date: Fri, 09 Apr 2004 10:58:47 -0400 -- OK, I'm up out of my hole---at least for now. Nick called last night. His MAP-3 (Mobile Assault Platoon) {replaced the 1980's-90's CAAT that was designed for armor threat vice threat they are facing now}) was brought back for a few hours to refuel/rearm/eat chow and he got a few minutes.

"What you won't hear on audio-bites "...parts of Falluja/Ramadi still under enemy control..." or from those fat phoney ****s Kennedy and Kerry et.al. is this: 'Dad, we are kicking the living s*** out of those m*********ers ... Nick says that as they moved up, the rags were performing disciplined, as he calls it, 'bounding fire and movement' ---they knew what they were doing---even when we knocked them back, they were 'bounding' When I asked if he had cranked-off any rounds he replied with disgust, "Uhhh...yeahhhhh" (a version of 'no duh')...Dad our platoon alone has killed over 200 of those (again) m*********ers" .... I believe they do not consider the foe as human...and they're not ... he knows that the cellar is still full of rats and every day you enter the cellar they will try and bite you...especially those that came to Iraq to die. I know that he is fine because he signed-off with, 'Semper Fi Dad, I love you'."

You can clearly see that this Marine does not look upon Iraqis as human beings, but as "rats" filling the cellar. When you read that 600 Iraqi civilians have been killed since the fighting erupted, you must realize that the total must be a whole lot more if this one platoon has killed over 200. Now, let us turn to another source to learn the truth about our killing of Iraqi civilians.

NEWS BRIEF: "Marines in Fallujah trade 'culturally sensitive' training for bullets", CBS-4, Boston, Thursday April 15, 2004, By LOURDES NAVARRO, Associated Press Writer

"FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) On a rooftop overlooking Fallujah's industrial wasteland, Lance Cpl. Tom Browne pokes his machine gun muzzle out of a hole in a barrier wall, singing to himself to pass the time. In the street below, the corpse of an insurgent suspect lies baking in the sun. Browne, from Boston, says he has killed several rebels, probably Iraqis, so far. 'I don't even think about those people as people', he says."

"The Marines say it's easier to cope with the daily work of killing inside Fallujah, where a seemingly unending supply of rebels continues to fight, if they don't think about the suspected Iraqi rebels they are targeting as people ..."

Final Judgment?

Our wanton use of Depleted Uranium munitions (4,000,000 pounds at least so far) in Iraq has convinced me that our attack against Iraq is the final judgment God has planned for the ancient country called Babylon. In Isaiah 13, we read of a Last Days' prophecy that seems to be in the process of fulfillment in our Daily News.

While Bible scholars generally admit that the whole chapter was fulfilled when the Medo-Persian army overthrew Babylon in Daniel 5, they also view that verses 4-22 seems to have a double fulfillment, a "near and a far" fulfillment. The words, "Day of the Lord" in verses 6 and 9 are very plainly calling for an End of the Age fulfillment.

When God begins a chapter using this language, the reader is alerted that He is about to issue a terrible physical judgment upon the people mentioned in the prophecy. We see this language used consistently in the book of Isaiah, as God specifies final judgment for many different nations, some of whom are clearly End of the Age.

Here, God is telling of His judgment upon Babylon, a judgment He did carry out just as He said he would in verses 2-3, using the combined armies of the Medo-Persian Empire. In today's terms, the Medes would most probably be the Kurds and the Persians are definitely the Iranians. God used Darius the Mede to bring this original terrible judgment.

However, verse 4 begins a very different judgment, brought on by armies from a "distant country", and occurring at the End of the Age, as verses 9-13 so clearly demonstrate.

The army God is prophetically raising up against Babylon are gathering together like the "uproar of a multitude in the mountains". Notice that the armies are coming from the "kingdoms of the nations". Further, the army Bush has thrown into Iraq most definitely comes from a "distant country", that is a country or countries far, far from Iraq, i.e., "from the uttermost part of the heavens", and they numbered 45 nations, most definitely a "multitude".

Note that this coalition army is prophesied to "seize and destroy the whole land." We have done exactly this! We first seized the whole land and now we are in the process of destroying it through our Depleted Uranium munitions. I can vividly recall the original warning given me by the medical officer of the foreign army, who said that our DU was likely to cause Iraq to become so irradiated that, in 20 years, no one can live there. NEWS1907 demonstrates that we are definitely destroying the land this permanently.

Our use of DU nuclear weapons are producing the effect noted in Isaiah 13:8, below:

Now, let us review the next verse:

One of the major indicators that an event will occur at the End of the Age is when you see this phrase: "Day of the Lord". Here, we see this phrase used here in verse 6 and then again in verse 9. Literally, the "Day of the Lord" refers to that entire End of the Age period relating to the appearance of Antichrist, his confirmation of the Covenant with Israel [Daniel 9:27], and the entire Tribulation Period. When the war begins that is the Final Birth Sorrows [Matthew 24:8] that will produce Antichrist, the End of the Age will commence its final chapter; we believe this war with Iraq may be the beginning of that war.

This verse convinces me like no other that the warfare with which we are about to hit Iraq is exactly the kind of warfare foretold in this Scripture. The people of Babylon (Iraq) are going to be overwhelmed and totally aghast at the warfare to which they are going to be subjected. Their minds are being totally blown away by the total effects of our warfare against them. Now, you can understand the impact of the next verse of our text:

Notice that the land of ancient Babylon is foretold to be a "desolation", a type of desolation which will then carry to the whole earth -- in that sequence! After ancient Babylon is destroyed in this type of judgment, God's destruction shall begin to widen out to successively take in the whole earth, just like those concentric circles created by a rock tossed into a placid lake.

If this war against Iraq is this final war, then the armies from the 45 nations allied with the United States are delivering God's judgment. This fact explains why we are using nuclear weapons against Iraq. The effects of this unprecedented warfare would certainly fulfill the description of God's judgment: "fierce, with wrath and raging anger"

Now, to understand the danger we are in if God has chosen us to be His hammer of judgment against Iraq, you have to understand the Pattern of Judgment as revealed in the Old Testament. On numerous occasions, God used a more wicked nation as His physical arm of judgment against Israel; but then, in every case, once God had delivered his judgment against Israel, He then turned around and destroyed the nation He had just used against Israel. Bible scholars call this His "Pattern of Judgment".

Therefore, if America is being used to deliver God's judgment upon Iraq, He will then turn around and bring us into physical judgment. Is this the reason America is not specifically mentioned in Tribulation prophecy, while our enemies are mentioned? Is this the reason the Guiding Spirits of our Masonic Forefathers emphatically told them that our true national bird is the Phoenix Bird? [NEWS1259; NEWS1399; NEWS1493; and Seminar 2: "America Determines The Flow of History"]

Let me repeat the Biblical "Pattern of Judgment" -- Once God uses a nation militarily to come against another nation in judgment, He then turns upon that nation whose military He has just used, and brings that nation into full physical judgment, which usually means physical devastation.

This is Biblical reality, and should serve to sober us tremendously.

VI. A major sign occurred this week that truly shows how far down the road to a One World Religion Evangelical Christians have traveled. Remember that I personally heard from a major Illuminist on August 18, 1991, that the Pope was going to be the head religious leader of the New World Order Religion (NEWS1052). Therefore, we should expect to see influences designed to move Evangelical Christians to the altar of Roman Catholicism. Gibson's movie, "The Passion" was one of those major influences (See our "Cutting Edge Passion Articles" section). This movie was so strongly Roman Catholic and presented Mary so well as Co-Redeemer that we should expect many Evangelical Protestants viewing Catholicism in a more positive light. What we did not expect is that evidence of this shift in attitudes would come so quickly after "The Passion" debuted.

NEWS BRIEF: "Survey Gets Specific on Evangelical Attitudes—and Finds We Like the Pope Better than Robertson or Falwell", Christianity Today, Week of April 12, 2004 - http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2004/115/21.0.html

"Evangelicals have been surveyed many times over, so it seems unlikely that another survey will turn up anything new about who evangelicals are and what they believe ... Here's some numbers you haven't seen: The media often look to Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell to speak on behalf of all evangelicals, yet less than half of all evangelicals themselves (44%) have a favorable view of Falwell, and only a slight majority (54%) view Robertson favorably. In contrast, evangelical leaders Franklin Graham and James Dobson are both viewed favorably by 73% of all evangelicals, and Pope John Paul II is viewed more favorably by all evangelicals (59%) than either Falwell or Robertson."

Even though Robertson and Falwell are known to have taken sums of money from the Illuminist Rev. Sun Myung Moon (NEWS1818), most Evangelicals look to them to be the spokesman for Evangelical issues! I find that more than a little disturbing, don't you? This survey result also points to the power of a daily Mass Media. Most people are propagandized after being exposed to a lie repeatedly, even if they heard the truth stated once long ago. Thus, you simply cannot underestimate the power of daily news reporting that is designed to spew out consistent propaganda.

Further, even though the Catholic Church has been mired in the throes of a modern-era sex scandal which has revealed that young, innocent children have been repeatedly sexually abused for decades, a majority of Evangelicals (59%) view the Roman Catholic Pope in a more favorable light than either Robertson or Falwell. In fact, only Franklin Graham and James Dobson are considered more highly to Evangelicals than the Pope.

How amazing is this statistic? Truly, we are drawing closer to the Roman Catholic altar and to the One World Church.

VII. Speaker after speaker to the 9/11 commission took the opportunity to sound warnings that terrorism may be close to occurring in this country. These speakers further said that, despite all our efforts since 9/11 and despite all the dictatorial laws that have been put on the books, we are still not ready to effectively combat terrorism! The answer? More dictatorial powers!

NEWS BRIEF: "Feds Warn of Al Qaeda Activity in U.S.", Fox News, Monday, April 12, 2004

"WASHINGTON — The federal government over the weekend issued a bulletin to state homeland security advisers and the Joint Terrorism Task Forces warning of non-specific, uncorroborated threat information that Al Qaeda wants to attack U.S. targets ... Officials stressed that the threat information, received in the last week, did not indicate a time, place or method of attack."

Since 9/11, when we have seen this type of wording, no terrorist attack was ever carried out. However, the time will come sometime when such a threat will occur, because that is the plan by which our Constitutional form of government is dissolved. Now, let us examine another article for more information.

NEWS BRIEF: "Intel failures Clinton's fault - Ashcroft", From correspondents in Washington, news.com.au, April 14, 2004

"THE US government gave no order to kill Osama bin Laden before President George W Bush took power in 2001, Attorney General John Ashcroft told an official inquiry into the September 11 attacks today putting the blame for many of the intelligence failures on the previous Clinton administration ... "The simple fact of September 11 is this, we did not know an attack was coming because for nearly a decade, our government had blinded itself to its enemies," Mr Ashcroft told the commission looking into the attacks which left about 3,000 dead after the attacks on New York and Washington. 'The old national intelligence system in place on September 11 was destined to fail', he said."

When you consider whom to "blame" for the attacks of 9/11, you are allowing your focus to be placed upon the wrong subject! The fact of the matter is, the plan to attack the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was well known in occult circles as early as 1990-1995, as our article NEWS1753 clearly proves! The inventor of the Illuminati Card Game -- Steve Jackson -- began his research in 1990 and introduced the game in 1995. Thus, if you want to "blame" someone for the attacks of 9/11, you must blame the Illuminati, of which its brightest stars are: President George Bush, Sr., President George Bush, Jr., President and Hillary Clinton, and virtually all of the officers of these Administrations! I guess most Americans will never realize that the unmistakable clue as to who is responsible for the attacks of 9/11 are contained within the Seals of the United States, located on the back of our One Dollar Bill; more specifically, the Eye of Lucifer hovering over the unfinished pyramid on the left side of the One Dollar Bill identify the main force behind establishing the "Novus Ordo Seclorum", the New World Order, the Kingdom of Antichrist, is the United States.

However, with the date of 1995 firmly in mind, please carefully consider the following current news story.

NEWS BRIEF: "Official: CIA Warned of Attacks on U.S. Soil", Fox News, April 16, 2004

"WASHINGTON — The CIA warned as early as 1995 that Islamic extremists were likely to attack U.S. aviation, Washington landmarks or Wall Street and by 1997 had identified Usama bin Laden (search) as an emerging threat on U.S. soil, a senior intelligence official said Thursday."

In June, 2001, we posted an alert article entitled, "Arab/Islamic Terrorists May Have Just Merged Forces To Mount A Global Offensive Against American And European Cities Using Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Weapons", NEWS1509. While we were under no illusion as to who was ultimately behind the 9/11 attacks, we did realize that Al Qaeda, that force created and maintained by Western intelligence services, seemed about ready to attack. Our only surprise was that the attack was not nuclear, as that device is spelled out clearly in the Illuminati plan.

Who is to blame for 9/11? All of them. All the members of the Illuminati.

VIII. British Prime Minister Tony Blair is suddenly stumping for the United Nations to take control in Iraq!

NEWS BRIEF: "Blair wants central role for UN in Iraqi democracy", TimesOnline, UK, April 16, 2004

"Tony Blair said today that the United Nations would have a "central role" in developing Iraqi democracy. Standing side-by-side with President Bush at the White House, the Prime Minister said: 'The UN will have a central role, as now, in developing the programme and machinery for political transition to full Iraqi democracy. And we will seek a new security council resolution to embody the political and security way forward'."

In case you think Tony Blair misspoke during his joint news conference with Bush at the White House, consider the next bit of information:

"The Bush Administration indicated earlier today that it was ready to accept a United Nations plan for the transition of power in Iraq to an interim government on June 30 ... Under the Brahimi plan the US-appointed Iraqi Governing Council would be replaced with a transitional government whose leaders would be appointed by the UN, in consultation with the US, the Governing Council and other Iraqis."

We have said all along that this war was going to result in the United Nations gaining power as a global governing force. Here is one proof. American and Great Britain are almost begging the United Nations to take control of chaotic Iraq and oversee its transition to a "democracy". As we have stated before, the plan envisions democracies as easier to control and bend to the will of the global agenda than strong-willed, resistant dictators like Saddam Hussein! Now, are we going to hand over Iraq to the UN as a fig leaf gesture to allow us to leave with some dignity intact?

However, we will also be leaving a devastated Iraq, a country whose future has been stolen by our Depleted Uranium munitions!

With this thought in mind, consider the rank hypocrisy of one of President Bush's statements during this joint news conference.

""The Prime Minister and I have made our choice. Iraq will be free. Iraq will be independent. Iraq will be a peaceful nation ... Our coalition will not allow Iraq's future to be stolen by a violent few."

As if this hypocrisy were not enough, Blair then concluded: "Mr Bush said that in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East the best chance for peace was 'the advance of human freedom'."

During the bloody reign of Communism in Russia and Eastern Europe, many western journalists noted that there was only one type of peace and that the Communists allowed an individual -- the peace and freedom of the grave.

With our 4,000,000 pounds of Depleted Uranium dust making Iraq unlivable in a generation and with that dust spreading 1,000 miles from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, the only peace and freedom we have brought these peoples is the "peace and freedom of the grave".

---------Conclusion----------------INSPIRED INVINCIBILITY

"Whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth." How petty our complaining is! Our Lord begins to bring us into the place where we can have communion with Him, and we groan and say - "O Lord, let me be like other people!" Jesus is asking us to take one end of the yoke - "My yoke is easy, get alongside Me and we will pull together." Are you identified with the Lord Jesus like that? If so, you will thank God for the pressure of His hand.

"To them that have no might He increaseth strength." God comes and takes us out of our sentimentality, and our complaining turns into a paean of praise. The only way to know the strength of God is to take the yoke of Jesus upon us and learn of Him.

"The joy of the Lord is your strength." Where do the saints get their joy from? If we did not know some saints, we would say - "Oh, he, or she, has nothing to bear." Lift the veil. The fact that the peace and the light and the joy of God are there is proof that the burden is there too. The burden God places squeezes the grapes and out comes the wine; most of us see the wine only. No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit, it is an inner unconquerableness.

If you have the whine in you, kick it out ruthlessly. It is a positive crime to be weak in God's strength. ["My Utmost For His Highest", by Oswald Chambers; Emphasis added]
